Obama wants a default.
me | 10/15/2013 | Zeneta

Posted on 10/15/2013 12:42:35 PM PDT by Zeneta

Step back for a moment and consider the political implications of a US govt default vs. 0bama's standing among the media and in turn, the low-info voters.

Consider that everything 0bama has ever done is always political. The advancement of his party and ideology of a state that "requires" people being told what is in their best interest.

There is absolutely NO RISK for 0bama (politically) to preside over a US default.

Do you think he is going to fold ?

Why should he ?

Do you think he actually cares about America ?

Do you think he cares about his "Legacy" ?

The media has his back.

This is the biggest opportunity to seize control, an opportunity that may never come around again.

The opportunity to send the entire global economy into turmoil. Send millions of people into the arms of the Government.

It is all about politics.

The House would have immediate grounds for impeachment. And the consequences of a genuine default could be bad enough that they'd have the people with them.

Dear Zeneta,

This has been the planned outcome from the very first 0bama budget that was unanimously voted down. We laughed and scoffed at the time that his own party wouldn’t pass his budget.

Truly, truly think about that for just a moment. He has planned, the democrats have planned for this for over 5 years.

Amazing thing to consider how stupid and blind we have been. All they needed was the scape goat...

They need to warn him ahead of time so he doesn’t even try this.

But how can he save them if he can’t borrow the money to do so?

That’s where the logic of him wanting a default breaks down. It destroys the ability of the US to borrow to fund the welfare state ...

Hussein is not an American in any sense, especially culture, and I seriously doubt that he understands the psyche of the Country. He might be in for a very rude surprise.

Obama hasn’t followed the law yet! YOU think he is going to prioritize anything over a default?

Get thee behind me with that foolishness.

If he declares Martial Law

That is a joke, with what Army? Martial law on 300 million people?

Really? Given a choice, Obastard will pay the most important bill first and not cause havoc? Whew! That’s a relief!

Just a real quick thought/answer -

default on all debts,
then sieze all privately held assets,

and set up a subsistence level of living for everyone but the elites.

It is up to the Sec of Treasury to pay the bills, not the POTUS. If the interest is not being paid, impeach the sec of Treas. and find somebody that will.

Actually all the federal interest is paid automatically, so it would require someone to stop it. This is all hype, even O’Bastard isn’t that crazy. Not buying the scare tactics. Call his bluff. This is poker not chess.

300 million people and 4 million square miles.

There won’t be enough personnel to even impose martial law on the cities. Which can be expected to burn, and burn quickly.

Short of an asteroid strike or an impeachable offense, the US will NOT default on debt payments. Failing to pay any other items is not a default.

Starting today going forward, the only thing those numbnut Republicans should say if they have a mic in their face is: OBAMA WANTS DEFAULT!!!

Over and over and over and over. Just like the sleazy dems with their talking points. Whenever asked ANYTHING, answer only OBAMA WANTS DEFAULT!!! Period.

How do you seize all privately held assets? And monitize them quickly enough? And at a useful value (rather then pennies on the dollar)?

Not a fair graphic. Andrew Jackson, racists Democrat SOB that he was, shut down the central bank and paid off our outstanding notes. So the net debt of the first seven presidents was zero. Still rather astounding that we’ve had an outstanding amount on our credit cards for 180 years and haven’t even balanced the books since 1957.

More accurately, he wants THIS CRISIS.

He wants rwii/cwii to begin. He’s been waiting awhile. We’ve been holding back. They keep ratcheting it up. We don’t fall for it. They’re getting pissed we haven’t done something so he can attempt to declare martial law.
