Reuters followed along as the Campaigner-In-Chief cut loose on Republic congressmen today at their annual retreat. His message was, "Let's work together," but only if that means voting for his crap and don't bother trying to promote any conservative ideas. Check it out:
http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE60S5JY20100129?type=politicsNews?feedType=RSS&feedName=politicsNews&rpc=22&sp=true
At one point he even accuses someone of campaigning against him. God forbid, or at least, Obama forbid. The hypocrite-in-chief spoke from a giant screen. It's like 1984, seriously.
Remember in late July, I think it was, when Bama gave his nationally televised press conference on health care, and he praised Republicans for their contributions, including tort reform? Has anyone heard word one about tort reform in the last six months? Of course not, because only Republican votes are tolerated, not their ideas. He accuses them onf not working with Democrats. That's pretty hard to do when Harry Reid locks his office door and hashes out the entire bill without any Republican participation. If you jackasses can't stomach debate, then you don't get to blame us for not being part of the process when you lock us out of the decision-making!
So Bama wants Republicans to vote for his ideas, so that when they all fail he can't be held totally responsible, and he is apparently willing to blame Bush for everything for the entire length of his term in office.
Bara Bama is a true coward. He does not know the meaning of the word "compromise", yet he expects capitulation, and has made it clear that the media arm of the Democrat party will back him up. What a dirtbag, but then what would anyone expect from a Chicago politician. Same old politics as usual. Is this what you voted for, kids?

The Irony Of Good News
GDP rose at a greater rate than expected in Q4, and what lead that expansion? Corporations.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Economy-grows-at-57-pct-pace-apf-3028347842.html?x=0
It's amazing how Bama and Democrats can so vilify corporations, the engine of the economy, in one breath, and then go out and trumpet the turnaround in the economy under their leadership in the next.
Well guess what, you can't have it both ways. I work for a company that is incorporated outside the United States for tax purposes, and if Bama starts hammering corporations - he's already threatening to do it to banks - with more taxes or penalties or red tape, then more companies will incorporate somewhere else. This is the essence of globalization, and its why Democrats antiquated ways of thinking about tax revenues don't work. Unlike our bloated government, corporations need to reduce costs wherever possible - they can't just print money. And when the government increases the tax burden, a company in trouble can shed that cost by seeking greener pastures. That's why Bush' tax cuts worked in the last decade - Tax "revenues" were at all-time highs, and unemployment was at all-time lows. President Bush created a business-friendly environment at home. Democrats and the media have already deleted these facts from history and most of our minds with their endless war on Bush, which is still a key play in Bama's campaign, as evidenced Wednesday night.
By the way, how come we're not hearing anything about the Bush tax cuts which are set to expire this year? Democrats have no interest in extending them, instead offering credits to people who already don't pay taxes anyway. That's just more burden on the rest of us! I remember now - Bama gave us all a tax break of about $13 last year in the "stimulus". Great. That's meaningful change we can believe in. But it's not permanent, so they shouldn't call that "cutting taxes." Again, it's a one time credit, mostly to people who didn't pay any income taxes.
Anyway, the GDP is good news, but it will be sickening to watch Democrats spin it as a victory for their ideology when the opposite is true.

And In This Corner...
Ok, less than 12 hours after Bama promised to freeze agency spending his cronies in the Senate killed a bill that would do essentially the same thing. That sets up a fight between the Campaigner-In-Chief and Congress over budgeting. Bama also promised to veto any bill where his proposal is exceeded, so lets see what he does when the paper hits his desk.
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20100128/D9DGRPQ80.html
My bet is he was never sincere in the first place, and will sign anything put in front of him. I can hardly wait for the litany of lies he tells in his next State of the Union.

Bama The Unabashed Lefty
In retrospect, Bama gave another campaign speech tonight to his lefty disciples. It was basically "stay the liberal course" and don't be afraid of the people, who hate you. I don't understand how his handlers could have miscalculated the public mood so disastrously, except that it's a certainty that everyone around him actually thinks he's the chosen one, capable only of absolute good. Wake up, people!!
Luckily, almost no one is as liberal as this ass-clown, and November should be more proof of that. And that will be in spite of the all-out media campaign by the "unbiased free press" on behalf of Democrats. Unlike 2008, when millions of brainwashed teenagers and early twenty-somethings cast votes without any idea of what their vote would mean long term, this November should be the time for the voice of the people who actually pay the bills and make this country work to be heard.
God willing.

The Perpetual Campaign
I can't believe the Campaigner-In-Chief just said that we can't wage a "perpetual campaign."
That's the absolute height of hypocrisy. How dare this guy tell Americans what they're sick and tired of. He has no damn clue that it's him we're sick of. Somebody show this tool a recent poll.
That's right, he just challenged Republicans to take responsibility for inaction. Uhh, 59 votes not enough for you anymore? Maybe if your proposals weren't total liberal, pseudo-communist bullshit, there would be something conservatives could work with, but no, it's all garbage. What does anyone expect? There's no way Republicans will be caught dead endorsing these self-destructive policies. Let the Democrats hang themselves. Literally.
Oh crap, he just said he's not interested in blaming anyone for the past - what the fuck? That means he thinks he's above all blame, but look, he sure can be magnanimous. Never mind all those slams against Bush and Republicans he just said.
By the way, the Cold War is back on. Bama just said so with his Nuke nonsense. Yeah, lets see him sell this to Iran. Sorry, Israel, you're just going to have to trust Bama on this...
I'm not sure he said anything substantive tonight. Not one thing. Just a bunch of hot air and hope and no substance. Bama personified.
Three more years of this? Seriously?

I Once Caught a Fish Thiiiiiiis Big!!
Bama's telling some real whoppers tonight. First blame Bush for the economy and the wars, then take credit for Bush's initiatives to fix the credit crisis and pull out of Iraq.
By the way, if this live blogging sounds totally random, remember, I didn't write this crap speach.
Then claim the stimulus package has saved 2 million jobs - all in the public sector, except for 200,000 construction jobs - those great paying, mentally challenging, benefit rich... Oh wait, those jobs are none of that. And who's saying all those teachers, policemen, and firefighters would have been fired. Yeah right. What a bunch of crap.
And lets fine banks who haven't paid back stimulus money. Might as well just tax anyone for anything.
Harry Reid yawns.
Oh, but "lower taxes" but only on a bunch of people who aren't paying taxes anyway. Huh?
Here's his big job initiative - more construction jobs! Way to get people invested in their own futures with back-breaking work for low pay and few benefits. Might as well just add to that Social Security burden - how else do we keep people voting Democrat.
How much longer is this country going to last? I forgot to mention that last night on Rachel Maddow she had some jerk professor of economics saying the economy is fine as long as the US can keep borrowing indefinitely. Ok, so say I'm rich and you come to me and ask for $50, and offer to pay $2, and you do this every day. How long am I going to tolerate that? That's the way these liberal economists are apparently thinking. But if I'm that rich guy I put an end to that pretty quick and say pay me what you owe me or I'm gonna send Rocky to break a few of your fingers. How long before China says, "C'mon, you can't be serious asking for another trillion..."
Bama won't accept second place for the USA. Um, yeah, and who does? Liberals, apparently, so he's telling us he's a centrist. Yeah... sure you are. Anyway, more regulations coming your way, which means more bureaucracy, and more *cough* taxes *cough*. Oh, and lets be innovative while we're working those construction jobs. Clear message there - America has a working class and an intellectual class. Liberals clearly hold themselves as members of the intellectual elite, so that means anyone who doesn't agree with them better pickup that hammer and that sickle and get to work.
Bama knows it doesn't make sense to spend a whole bunch of money on new clean energy initiatives during a recession, but he's going to do it anyway because no one told him that the Global Warming data was fraudulent. How did he not get that memo? He was in Copenhagen twice last fall...
Shocker here - we need to export more. No shit, Sherlock. So how are we going to do that? By not "sitting on our hands while other nations sign trade agreements." That's total nonsense.
Ah yes, more liberal chapter headings. We need to focus on education - for those construction jobs, I guess. But Bama is having a competition among schools. Boy, I hope schools with a lot of well-off white kids don't kick ass like usual. That would look bad. Oh snap, that would just give the race-card carrying members of the Rainbow Coalition more ammunition to go after those darn rich white schools.
Holy crap - if you go to college and then go work for the government Bama will forgive your college loans. Good God! That's it. That's the end. His cover is completely blown. Bama wants to grow government, and he's taking unprecedented steps to make that happen. Will someone please ask who will get stuck with the bill for all those new government workers!!!! FUCK.
It's hard to go on after that H-bomb, but here comes a bunch of lies about health care. We're reminded that Bama reads lots of letters. From people he has no intention of helping by the way, because his reforms won't go into effect for 3 years. More Bama slight of hand. Here we go, millions of Americans will lose health coverage this year... Yeah, because your economic policy of devaluing the dollar and increasing pressure on businesses will cause corporations to lay those people off. Bama, YOU are causing this strife. Just get the hell out of the way and let free markets be free! You can't do anything but make things worse. And that BS about reform saving a trillion dollars over the next 20 years? That's the biggest fish story of the night.
Finally, lets blame Bush some more for the ills of the nation. But make sure we fudge the facts - the trillion dollars last year was mostly the bank bailout Bama supported. Was a fucking asshole this guy is. Human garbage. I hate that there are 100 million morons in this country too stupid to learn the facts so they end up believing all these lies. He just said his $15 billion freeze would pay for the trillion dollars he spent last year on stimulus. Can anyone reconcile that math?
He refuses to pass the debt on to another generation of Americans. Let that be the marker on his tombstone. Why doesn't he just promise everything for everyone?
Say, does anyone else notice how out of touch he is - making light of the skeptics of his policies while his regulations and spending have caused real strife in this country.
Did he just say, "Let's try common sense?" But he doesn't have any. I think that's code for, "Let's spend mooooooore money!" And all this will be paid by "Tax as you go." er, pay as you go. I guess that means he'll just keep printing money and borrowing froom the Chinese and taxing corporations into oblivion.
Can there be any doubt that 3 years from now this country will be so much worse off than it was a year ago tonight? No, there's no doubt.
I've had enough of this lying piece of shit. Time to watch season 3 of 24. Gotta love it when Jack Bauer tortures some a-hole terrorist. Now that's getting shit done!

Obama: Mr. Freeze
In his latest desperate attempt to revive an economy he knows nothing about, Bama has stolen the idea to freeze agency budgets for the next 3 years. This has sent liberals into a tailspin. Last night Rachel Maddow likened the idea to driving all the way down the football field only to punt at the 1 yard line. Rachel Maddow doesn't know very much about football; her analogy is indecipherable, unless she's suggesting that some massive amount of progress has been made as a result of last years spending binge, and now this almost insignificant freeze will undo all of that.
It's hard for any rational-thinking person to see it the way she and like-minded liberals do. What progress? The economy is still in shambles - look at the job numbers, not the stock market. Stocks are a house of cards without jobs. And nobody punts at the opponents 1 yard line, that's just a stupid thing to say. She went on to trounce Bama, who's getting no love from anyone right now, by saying he's given in to the "inane" Republican idea that less government spending can help an economy in which the only spending is by the government.
First of all, Bama's little freeze on agency budgets amounts to about 1% of the budget. I hardly think that is a substantive amount of government spending. Also, he's only talking about a freeze, not cuts. Of course to Democrats, any reduction of the annual increase in spending is a cut. Maddow doesn't understand that Republicans, or at least the conservatives, want a real reduction in government. How about putting a hard deadline on Social Security, say anyone 50 years and older is eligible, and once they're all dead SS goes away forever. Viola! I just saved taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars. Now what will they do with that money. Oh, probably stuff it into mattresses or burn it for heat I'm sure. See, Democrats lack the ability to follow the point to its logical conclusion. A lot of this is because they don't trust free markets because they've been conditioned to not trust the leaders of enterprise in this country. It all goes back to class warfare. I wonder now if Bama and Geitner intentinally left the door open for executive payouts from the bailout just to propogate class warfare zeal.
I, for one, am delighted with Bama's freeze. It's wildly unpopular, which hurts him politically and will make everything else he tries to do more difficult, and it is something, even if it's almost nothing. That's actually a good summation of the man himself!
