Obama Solely Responsible for Shutdown
Lawrence journal world ^ | October 14, 2013 | Reasonmclucus

President Barack Obama is solely responsible for the current government shutdown. He used the Republican opposition to his health care plan to manipulate them into a situation he could exploit.

He wants to use his media sheep to make the Republicans look bad so he can pursue his goal of gaining dictatorial control over the budget process. He wants the type of power the British monarchy lost centuries ago.

I wouldn't trust former President Thomas Jefferson with the type of control over the federal debt that Obama wants. Jefferson was not only a more honorable man than Obama, he may have had more intelligence than the last three presidents combined.

Obama's conduct of the so called shutdown indicates he is totally lacking in compassion and has contempt for the American people. Blocking public access to the various public monuments in Washington is vindictive and sick. I'm sure there are hundreds, if not thousands, of veterans in the Washington area who would be willing to stand guard over those sites if there is a need for such protection.

Obama says he won't negotiate. The only thing he will accept is total control over the debt ceiling. He apparently is willing to let the economy collapse if he can't get what he demands.

Would a sane president make such a threat?

It's time for Vice President Joe Biden and the cabinet to exercise their responsibility under the 25th Amendment to relieve a president who is acting irrationally from the position.

Various conditions can reduce a president's ability to handle the job. The president wouldn't need to be mentally ill to function improperly. Tumors and conditions that affect blood flow to the brain can interfere with a president's ability to handle the office. Alcoholism and stress can have a negative affect.

If President Obama is having some problem he would benefit from being removed from office before the problem permanently damages him. Many historians believe that the stress associated with various scandals killed President Warren G. Harding. The stress of Watergate nearly killed President Richard Nixon.

He’s also responsible for the debt “crisis” being at the same time as the shutdown. Him and Jack Lew used “extraordinary measures” over at treasury to have the debt “crisis” coincide with the shutdown. Coincidence, I don’t think so. This is Obama’s. He owns it.

Perhaps due to Michelle's extreme dietary rules, Zer0 is dying from malnutrition. What blood his puny body can make is pooled up in areas other than his brain.

The Mighty Democrat Senator “No Debate” Reid has spoken though his use of raw Park Police Power by an incompetent, spendaholic, Democrat Administration: Release the floodgates of continuous increased Federal Spending or we will lower the BARRYCADE IRON CURTAIN until you cave in.

In this way Reid and Obama have defined for America what continued control of the US Senate and the Administration will be like in the future.

Each section of the BARRYCADE IRON CURTAIN is a visual testament to the abject failure of the Obama-Reid Adminstration and Senate.

There should be no doubt, except for the true believers in the Liberal “Mainstream” Media, that Democrats do not have the ability to operate, oversee, or manage a Government “- - - of the people, for the people, and by the people.”

Senator Reid has failed to produce a Federal Budget for five disgraceful years in a row. He thus in the most incompetent Majority Leader of the US Senate, ever.

The simple fact that Senate Democrats have chosen to keep Senator Reid as their Majority Leader can only be interpreted that the majority of US Senate Democrats do not have the ability to operate, oversee, or manage the US Federal Government.

I guarantee you at least 45% of the people would vote for obama again. They’ve been brainwashed into hating republicans. And many of them will tell you they’re moderate. It’s insane.

40 % of Federal Spending is funded by debt, debt that you and I have to pay back WITH INTEREST !

47 % of Americans do not pay any Personal Federal Income Tax, and realize that as long as things stay the way they are, they will not have to re-pay rhe National Debt that is created so that they can be doled out their subsidence Govt. Checks.

There is no good reason for the Debt-Dependant 47 % to vote for anyone who wants to increase their taxes.

Obama thus has an automatic 47 % approval rate to “Move Forward” by taxing those who still have jobs and re-distrbuting the money to those who are not paying personal FIT.

Marx said “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”

Candidate Obama told Joe the Plumber: “We’re going to spread the wealth around a little.”

Democrats call it “Redistribution.”

I call it Communism, a lazy man’s way of getting rich without having to work.

BTW, have you ever stopped to realize that Robin Hood, the patron saint of Liberals, did not steal from the rich, he stole from the GOVERNMENT !

All of it is wealth redistribution. He let the cat out of the bag when he spoke to Joe the Plumber. Then every obama butt licker started hating Joe the Plumber. I know a guy who despised Joe as soon as it came out. It’s strange how these people worship obama. And this guy makes close to six figures but will still crawl into the railroad car. So, the danger is that it’s not just the 47%, there are a great number of tax payers that will always “follow” him, too.
