As I watch the president speak to congress tonight, my stomach turns. I believe that Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi have springs under their butts making them jump up at every whim of the president. In case you didn’t notice it, Pelosi is reading the teleprompter over the shoulder of the president. I’m just wondering, could there be any greater shysters in the country than the two sitting over the shoulder of the president?
Seriously, if you can get past the revolting view behind the president, you might hear a bit of what he is saying. There is some irony to the speech. The whole speech is about how much more of your (and my) money he is intending to spend. This is beyond the almost 900 billion that he spent last week, and the 200 billion that he spent this week. Oh yeah, and then he had a “Fiscal Responsibility Summit” at the White House yesterday. Dick Morris said in an interview yesterday, “That’s like having Mike Tyson convene a summit on domestic violence.” Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. It would be funny if it were not so serious. Ok, it is funny. We might as well laugh, cause the government will be laughing all the way to the bank. Probably the bank they will be bailing out next week. Ok, I said seriously, but I guess I really didn’t mean it.
I am amazed that people think that all of this spending is going to be a good thing. President Obama just told us in this speech that he wants us to have a “cradle to the grave” society. We have to make sure that everyone has everything that they need from the time that they are born until they die. From this speech, all I have found out is that we are in a world of hurt financially. There is no way, without huge tax increases that we can possibly pay for all the pet projects of this President. But, we might as well get ready for it, as there is no way to stop it with the current political environment.
Now to his great plan for the deficit. He tells us that he will cut the deficit in half over the next four years. Folks, there is only one way for that to happen. Tax increases are coming. If you believe this line that your taxes aren’t going up unless you make over $250,000, then I have some property you might like to buy. You see, Obama is still saying that 95% of working families will get a tax cut. Do you ever wonder how 95% can get a tax cut when only 62% pay taxes? If you do that math, it means that people who do not pay taxes will be receiving a check. Folks, it is not from the government they are getting that check, it is from the 62% of us that already pay! If you can’t figure out what that is called, let me help you out. It’s socialism.
I think I must be watching a Saturday Night Political special. The man impersonating the president just made the statement that he was proud that they passed the recovery plan that had no earmarks. No earmarks? I guess he didn’t read it either…like all the rest of the democrats that voted for that monstrosity.
Obama tries to act like he is going to be tough on terrorism? You have to be kidding me! There was no one tougher on terrorism than President Bush, and we know that because we have a prison full of terrorists at Guantanamo Bay. At least we did. Until President Obama decided that we need to shut it down, regardless of the fact that all investigations have shown that it has been run in compliance with the Geneva Convention. President Obama promises that he will make us safer? How? By allowing the terrorist to walk out of prison and back into the general populace, just like he did yesterday? Let’s ask the family members of the USS Cole whether this was a bright idea or not.
Folks, the “other shoe” dropped for me yesterday. I was trying to figure out why the dems had to push the spending bill through, and inserted so much garbage that should have been voted on in the general budget. I got the answer when I found out that the president was going to cut the deficit in half over the next 4 years. Then, I heard that the bailout was not a part of the “budget”. That’s right, it doesn’t count in the deficit, even though it is nearly a trillion dollars on the books. So, they got their spending, without having it go against the budget. I think I will do that with my “budget” at home. I’ll just count my spending on my pet projects as not being “in the budget” so that I don’t have to worry about it when I pay my bills. Yeah, it doesn’t work that way, and it shouldn’t work that way with the Obama administration either. They intentionally put their earmarks in the bailout so that they didn’t have to try and get it passed in the budget. Dishonest? Yeah. There is also hypocrisy in the complaint that he “inherited a trillion dollar deficit”, when he was a part of bringing on that deficit (he voted for the budgets as well), and he spent a trillion dollars himself! I guess if the Republicans are responsible, then it is bad, if the Democrats are responsible, then it is good. Here’s a newsflash–Both are bad!
This speech was proported to be “Reaganesque”. There is no way that President Obama will ever be like Ronald Reagan. I’m not sure why he wants to be. It is funny to me how he tries to allign himself with the greatest of Republican presidents (Lincoln and Reagan), when in fact he is nothing like them. The media has him as one of the greatest presidents ever, even though he has only been president for 35 days. It’s not possible to be among the greats in that short a period of time, but it is possible to be one of the worst. He is well on his way on that side. He has spent a tremendous amount of money for things that are unnessesary. So, Reaganesque? Not so much. I wish he would compare himself to the presidents that he is really like–FDR maybe?
Now, I am waiting on Bobby Jindal to speak. I am hoping that he is going to be the answer fo those of us who are conservative fiscally and morally. He is already turning down the stimulus money–more should do it! We are only 35 days in…but there is some hope in 4 years!

I guess it is in keeping with the majority of Americans. He didn’t read the crapulus and most Americans didn’t pay attention anyway. The problem is really not with the goverment. It lies squarely in the laps of the voters who elect these idiots and they don’t bother paying attention to what they do. It’s like the child who wants a dog and swears that they will clean up after the dog. Well liberals are the kids and conservatives are the parents. We will end up cleaning up this mess after these guys finish craping all over the country. Great stuff keep up the fight.
