the president said during a speech at a Ford plant in Liberty, Mo., on Friday afternoon. “We just can’t pay our bills.”

This portion out of context is unintentionally true...

Imagine if a country in the mideast or Africa printed its own money and kept printing it far and above what their GDP was.

THAT’S US!

"we’re not some banana republic"

We're printing money so fast it should keep every Kinko's in the country busy 24-7 and El Presidente decides which laws will be enforced, and which laws will not be enforced on a whim. El Presidente throws a guy into jail for making a bad movie and vaporizes weddings in far away lands by pushing a button.

If we aren't a banana republic, it's only because what Obama is doing gives banana republics a bad name.

Obama is WRONG... and lying... The U.S.. (( IS )) a banana republic..
It will not WILL BE... it is now...

Obama is channeling another tinhorn Diggar dictator. Mugabe.. in Zimbabwe..
Obama has reached the zenith of his ultimate level of incompetence.. (Peters Principle)..

AND America is being PUNISHED by him for many past crimes too numerous to mention..
Only one of which is the absolute destruction of Americas public school system..

Republicans dithered and whined while the progressives destroyed much of Americas institutions..
AND presently are working to destroy THEM ALL!...

ON PURPOSE!... and still republicans dither..
America pretty much deserves Obama..

If you’re waiting for Libertarians to drop their Bongs and snuff out their blunts you are DELUSIONAL..

We are not “Slouching toward Gomorrah” we are Jogging toward it..

Yes, we are a “banana republic”, and apparently proud of it.

This is the United States of America - we’re not some banana republic, this is not a deadbeat nation, we don’t run out on our tab,” the president said during a speech at a Ford plant in...

--------------------------------->

Then quit "ruling" like America is a banana republic. You've pushed the American economy so brutally that we have fast become to tinkering on being a "deadbeat nation; we do run out on our tab."

We read about the economy in the daily news and websites. Maybe you can pick up on your newspaper reading then you'll learn about this the same way most Americans learn about it - you know, reading a daily newspaper - Obama has created a fundamental change so we have to swing the pendulum and restore some sanity.

Maybe not a banana republic. What’s worse than a banana republic? I’m afraid that’s where we are now.
