Obama’s Toxic Brew

“Double, double, toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble.”

-- Macbeth, Act 4: The incantation of three demonic witches over their cauldron, which heralds the downfall of King Macbeth.

It’s not witches, but the three warlocks of the new administration – President Obama, his chief Chicago-Machine-henchman Rahm Emanuel, and his tax-cheating Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner – who are boiling the American people in a cauldron of their own, not with poisoned entrails, eye of newt, or toe of frog, but with a fatal mixture of a trillion-dollars of so-called “stimulus” dollars, draconian tax hikes, doomed-to-fail bailouts, and additional healthcare and other expenditures that are, above all, designed to bankrupt the United States of America.

As people helplessly watch their life savings, 401ks, real estate assets, children’s college funds, financial viability, and everything that affects their jobs, security and investments vanish as the Stock Market hurtles downward toward its crashing point, they hear unmistakably gleeful cackles emanating from the leftist radicals who now occupy the Oval Office and the Congress.

Why are they cackling? Why are they gleeful? Because they have finally been catapulted into power and are now able to translate their deep loathing of everything that has made America great – free-market capitalism, the U.S. Constitution, small government, low taxes – into their own Socialist-cum-Marxist-cum-Communist vision.

I think Obama's comment that he is not concerned about the "gyrations" of the stock market when the Dow is in meltdown speaks volumes about how little he cares for a capitalist US economy and how is gleefully using this financial crisis as a springboard to implement a radical change in the US system.

Imagine how the MSM and Democrat partisans would have reacted if Bush had made such a comment during a similar Dow meltdown. He would have been at the very least been accused of being insensitive and more likely would have been castigated in every way conceivable.

As people helplessly watch their life savings, 401ks,

The next trick to come from the anointed one will be on the 401ks.

There are trillions sitting out there that Obama wants to give to his constituents. He'll make it palatable by "giving" you IOUs based on the market value at some point before the market crashed. What it will in effect be is your retirement replaced by future earnings pilfered from future taxpayers. Social Security II.
