Our Kenyan/Indonesian president won’t be content until the American economy lies in ruins, making it easy for him to foment his Marxist revolution.

He’s a jerk.

His number one priority is to punish the American people.

Whether it be through his 0bamarx-care, crashing the stock market, taking over whole industries, using armed thugs to confront tourists and veterans in federal parks, borrowing and spending the nation into penury, or transforming the military into a collection of violent misfits and perverts who would happily fire on normal Americans.

This is not going to end well.

Brief, to the point, and accurate.

I have never seen a President who so disliked the country and her people, that he would make decisions based on how much pain he could inflict upon the populace. The man is a disgrace, and I use the term "man" as denoting age; for, as far as I can tell, he is a man-child; someone who was spoiled all his life, who accomplished much thru grade-inflation and has never had anyone disagree or say no to him.

Why do you think he takes to television? Drive down the markets or the stalemate continues. Follow the money.

I got out when the dow was around 15,400. As they continue to print money I’m sure it will go to 20,000 or more, but from here on out, it’s all about real estate, PM’s and anything tool like. This would include my quad runner and chain saw.

the markets are being manipulated...

Absolutely. Sovereign funds belonging to hostile nations can easily move the market. What used to be an indicator of domestic economic health is now nothing but a horse track frequented by rich foreigners.

He’s a hater; he hates himself and he hates anyone who is in any way normal. Destruction is what haters do.

The entire system is in need of massive intervention. The Senate has proven it cannot budget or spend the people’s money responsibly. It is no different than a business or a household that is addicted to spending and debt.

Keep it shut down until professionals can take over and put a workable budget together.

The denizens of the territory once known as “the United States of America” are so much better off when the Current Occupant now squatting in the White Hut just stops talking.

He ceased being a positive factor long ago. Nothing he has done since assuming the mantle of “President” has any lasting social or economic benefit for the ideal that the term “American” once meant.

Oh, there are still the forms and symbols, but increasingly, access to any of the historically normal activities that once constituted our daily lives is being severely curtailed, if not prohibited altogether.

Try to visit a national park, and you run into “Barrycades” everywhere. And the “Barrycades” are just a symptom of the much deeper moral and economic malaise that pervades every facet of our lives today.

Up until Obama opened his mouth the markets could expect the debt service would be paid as always, regardless of anything the House does. Now they sense Obama may contrive to default in the spirit of a man who burns his own house to create an eyesore for his neighbors.
