The economy is in freefall. Gas prices are skyrocketing. Walmart calls their sales “a total disaster.”
But don’t panic. Our fearless leader Obama is just back from a “Swing State”…you know, the kind of place where you work on your golf swing. He was consulting on the economy with Tiger Woods and Butch Harmon. While Michelle was playing in Aspen. You wouldn’t accept this storyline if it was a fictional movie script. Too unrealistic.
This country under Obama is becoming one big scam. A Ponzi scheme. Obama is the guy running the Ponzi, playing the role of Bernie Madoff. But the mainstream media is his accomplice.
Exhibit A is the so-called Sequestration. It was the Obama administration that gave us the sequestration. Even Bob Woodward the famous investigative journalist says, “The Sequester was Obama’s idea.”
Now Obama gets back from his tough golf weekend with Tiger and claims sequestration is the end of the world. Funny, Obama never mentioned…it was his idea. He never mentioned that the specific Obama lackey who created the idea was Jack Lew- who Obama has just nominated to become Treasury Secretary.
That’s right- sequestration is such a bad idea, causing such an economic crisis, that Obama is rewarding the guy who thought it up by putting him in charge of the entire U.S. economy. Where are the screaming headlines in the mainstream media pointing out that Obama is the world’s biggest hypocrite?
To make this Saturday Night Live skit even funnier, Obama the man of the working people, the man of the middle class, first picked a tax cheat, Tim Geithner, as his first term Treasury Secretary. Then for his second term, he picked Jack Lew- who invests his money in a Cayman Islands fund housed in the building that Obama has called “the greatest tax scam in the world .”
With guys like that in charge of the economy and our tax system, it sure sounds like a Ponzi scheme to me.
Obama also claimed that the sequestration cuts will cause job losses among policeman, firemen and teachers. Why isn’t the media pointing out that policemen, firemen and teachers are hired on the local and state level. Oops, Obama is caught in another fabrication.
And by the way…aren’t there other government employees besides policemen, firemen, and teachers? Shouldn’t the media point out to only bring up those three classes of employees is complete deception- like a conman selling his con?
Did you know the average government janitor is paid $600,000 more over his lifetime than a janitor working in the private sector?
Why doesn’t Obama mention janitors when we talk about cutting government spending? Because the image of a government janitor or meat inspector would not bring tears to voters’ eyes. It wouldn’t sell his Ponzi scheme. The media says nothing.
Why doesn’t the media point out that Obama spent us into bankruptcy by adding almost $6 trillion to the national debt in only four years. If anyone loses their jobs, it’s not because of the miniscule $85 billion sequestration. That’s a spit in the ocean. It’s because of the $6 trillion of reckless spending over the past 4 years. Obama is the one to blame for people losing their jobs. Why doesn’t the media point that out? Their silence makes them accomplices in the Ponzi scheme.
Why aren’t they pointing out that the economy is in shambles, gas prices have risen 32 days in a row, WalMart executives are calling sales to start the year “a total disaster”…that’s a quote… while President Obama, a Democrat who supposedly cares about poor people and working-class people…golfs with Tiger Woods in Florida, works on his golf swing with Butch Harmon, and parties at billion dollar resorts on Valentines weekend…with the world’s most notorious womanizer…with the press denied access…with his wife on a separate vacation in Aspen. Do you think the media would be silent about all this if the Presidential couple partying in Florida and Aspen were Ronald and Nancy Reagan?
The reality is we have an economic crisis, bordering on a total collapse, because of specific Obama policies. He spends too much. He taxes too much. He wastes our money on green energy. It isn’t working. The chickens are coming home to roost. The first quarter is “a total disaster” because Obama raised income taxes on the rich and payroll taxes on the middle class. When you tax people they have less money to spend.
At the same time, everyone is getting hit with rocketing gas prices, while Obama wastes your money on solar energy scams…on wind energy scams…on electric cars that no one wants to buy… on fraudulent biofuel standards that are impossible to obtain. Obama declares millions of acres of oil-rich lands off-limits to drilling. His EPA policies drive coal out of business. And we wonder why gas and energy prices are skyrocketing?
The economy is in meltdown because of Obama’s policies. In response, he spends his weekends consulting with Tiger Woods and Butch Harmon. Yet the media says nothing. Just another day in Obamageddon.
The sequestration isn’t the threat folks. The greatest threat to the future of America is Obama.
Thank you for the source of this crap.
I think you missed the point. The government spends about $188 million per day of which 46 cents on a dollar is borrowed. $85B is just the beginning. We have to get rid of 1/2 the government to be able to afford them at all.
You have obviously given this a lot of thought and your post reflects it. I agree with just about everything you said with the exception of “There is not one damn thing Obama can do to stop it, even if he does utilize sound and sane economic policy relative to tax and spending.” I’m still mulling that part over.
The problems we are now facing and will continue to face belong not just to Obama, but the entire Congress, the SCOTUS AND Obama.
Regardless of whether Obama gets the sequester or not, he will blame the ‘Pubbies; blame they have largely earned by NOT speaking up, NOT staying true to their conservative roots and NOT going to the American taxpayers and saying “this is what the Democrats are REALLY doing . . . . . . “ By FAILING to protect America from the Marxists pigs, they have betrayed their oath of office and their obligation to the Founders to ensure that, if the Founders could come back to America today, they would find an America better than the one they left.
Absent a civil or revolutionary war, there are steps that can be taken that may still preserve the remnants of America and allow us to restore the country to the beacon of freedom the Founders envisioned. What I am thinking of is for the red states to secede, re-form as the America the Founders created and ban ANY Democrats, leftists, liberals, or takers from living in OUR America.
“If you don’t work, you don’t eat.” That was the credo of the first Pilgrim settlers and should be the credo of the new America, excepting only those who are mentally or physically incapable of working. I have other suggested changes on my about page here at FR.
At the end of the day, I have to agree with you that our future is already written. If not secession, civil, race or revolutionary war is likely staring at us from the not too distant future. Our government is irreparably broken and CANNOT be fixed at the ballot box. Too many here think it can. I am convinced, as I think you are, that we are beyond that point.
The only question now is, what emerges afterward? Will there be a new America, two Americas (one for liberals and one for conservatives), or any America at all? We know that we can survive the future as a free an independent nation, but is there the will to do so?
Do NOT post 9/11 truther conspiracy crap to FR! Take it elsewhere!
Jim
I’d be more than happy to.
From Sequestration to Stimulus; from Benghazi to bullets, this entire Admin., the WH Mussolini on the Potomac to Reid-Pelosi have been frauds and scams. But...as long as 53% of the Moron Voters prop these leftist Dems up, the dice are tossed. No one nowadays , especially with the MSM as Progressive lap dogs, can stop this bunch from making us a socialist state. When the Knight on the White Horse does come from the Conser side, it could be too late for our Const , our Republic and our free enterprise system. I pray not.
If you need an understanding, then go to the Democratic Underground and start a discussion about right to life, or the benefits of capital punishment. You make Jim R. the reason why you don’t get the message out to people because he deletes your posts. I don’t think you can see that given enough time and “evidence” I could convince you that the earth is flat. The idea that Bush knew and the government orchestrated the 9/11 attacks is just false. What do you think about the conspiracy of Obama and his Admin. orchestrated the attacks on Benghazi? They certainly didn’t take them seriously, but they most certainly conspire and to be complicit in the attacks. Try to examine a minimum of 5 alternative sources of information before you make up your mind instead of only ones that further your conspiracy theory.
You got mixed up with Astronaut in a thread about the sequester. I looked at what is in evidence and I think it is a contrived crock of crap. What is Judy Wood your sister?
