Big Lie No. 1 - "Obama inherited this mess"
Four Big Lies
(Part 1 of 4)
“Obama Inherited this Mess”
At this very moment members of congress are trying to decide what pieces of America’s future they will trade away as part of a deal to raise the debt ceiling. We’ve had the chance to talk with many of them. And even most of those who claim to be on the side of fiscal responsibility are giddy with excitement that they can trade their vote on this debt ceiling “crisis” in exchange for a handful of magic beans offered by the liberals.
Our answer is simple.
It is not acceptable to use the future of America as a bargaining chip.
Do not raise the debt ceiling.
PERIOD.
In the coming weeks, you will be told 4 lies (at a minimum) by those who want to raise the debt ceiling. The lies will be packaged and presented in many different ways, but in general they will all boil down to these 4 (remember them and don’t be fooled):
Big Lie 1
“The current financial crisis was inherited.”
Big Lie 2
“There’s no way to cut enough spending. So we must raise the debt ceiling.”
Big Lie 3
“We can haggle for some really great deals now that we have them over a barrel.”
Big Lie 4
“You just don’t understand all of the complicated details. Let us handle it.
We’re smart.
There are numerous facts available to disprove this. But two of the biggest and best are:
Fact 1
President Obama increased spending and the size of government more than all previous presidents (from George Washington through George Bush)
COMBINED.
President Obama created that problem and he should own it.
Fact 2
The number one, most important job of the House of Representatives every year is to create a federal budget. Under Nancy Pelosi (while Obama was in office) the House did not create a federal budget. They
didn’t even try. They did, however, write endless blank checks for Obama
to use on his wild spending spree.
The liberal congress created that problem and they should own it.
We are hitting the debt ceiling because they went nuts with the country’s credit card for the past 28 months. It’s not someone else’s fault. The problem was created quickly and it can be solved quickly by
cutting spending and cutting up the credit card. Raising the debt
ceiling will only make it worse. PURE AND SIMPLE. Don’t buy it when
they tell you it’s more complicated than that.
"Hey honey! I just got laid off, we just got our foreclosure notice, our credit cards are maxed out and we are completely broke! Let's go buy a new Cadillac Escalade!"
man, that shit is just wrong! How am I going to get to sleep with that nasty image in my mind now??
We should all be understanding.
MUST, MUST READ!

Those lyin’ thieves and their willing press and economist comrades are spewing fantasy, spinning and panicking .. BIG time. Everything is on the line.
Call your critters in DC .. pray for their unrelenting courage.
#4 already happened: http://weaselzippers.us/2011/07/11/obama-professional-politicians-understand-debt-crisis-better-than-the-public/
The only president that inherited (in modern times) a rotten economy and didn’t complaine about it was Reagan. Carter was a sucky president with a totally destroyed economy after 4 years..
