Obama is winning his war against America

Standard & Poor's Downgrades U.S. Credit Rating to AA+

Not only were the majority of the American not fooled by the dog and pony show that Washington put on during the debt ceiling debate, neither was the S&P.

S&P downgraded the U.S credit rating to AA+ in what has been clearest message yet to Washington that we need to be serious about this mess, and do something positive to address America's debt problems.

The White House response has been predictable. They blame the messenger, S&P, for miscalculating 2 trillion dollars in debt. The S&P said it discussed the issue with the Treasury, but that it did not change their decision.

No one was convinced when Congress and the White House said that their agreement over a debt ceiling increase will include $1 trillion in spending cuts over the next decade.

Most of it is backloaded, and is another attempt to kick the can down the road. One of the caveats Obama wanted in this deal was to raise the limit until after the 2012 elections. His concern is more with getting re-elected, and not having to make any potentially damaging political decisions until after his re-election.

Boehner is in serious trouble of losing his leadership role, seventy four percent of the House members polled in 3,500 chapters said it is time to look at new leadership, and want somebody in the House who is more fiscally responsible.

The republicans are right to insist on cuts before tax increases. The game is to promise future cuts, but the cuts never happen, and the taxes are forever, but they didn't go nearly far enough.

Mark Meckler, 49, the co-founder of the Tea Party Patriots in the United States, has said we have compromised our way to disaster

The compromises that we have witnessed on debt have taken our country to the brink of financial collapse. Currently, the American government is spending 44 cents of each dollar on interest payments. We have compromised our way into disaster. None of the budget plans proposed have real cuts in them -- only promises to cut. The reality is that legally one Congress cannot bind the future Congress to cut, so these promises are actually a lie. We need real and immediate cuts.

Europe's Death Grip on American Liberals

Misery and failure love company, nobody likes to suffer alone. So it is that as Europe comes to grips with it's failing Euro Zone concept of cradle-to-grave welfare, open borders, and a single currency, it eagerly encourages America to follow the same path to destruction. And the the radical left in America is all too happy to hold hands with their Socialist European brothers and leap off the cliff of economic insanity to destruction.

The "Tea Party" in Europe has become a household word. The lefties in Europe call it the radical right "Tea Party" and proclaim it will bring the utter destruction of Democracy and Freedom in America. In fact, it is difficult to know where the left in Europe ends and the left in America begins anymore, they have become virtually identical movements.

Der Speigal does a hatchet job on the Tea Party in and article that it calls "Annihilating Democracy with the Tea Party " If I didn't know better I would think I was reading the Daily Kos it's the same rehashed tripe, here is an example :

Democracy depends on compromise and the American government depends on all branches working together. The Tea Party movement shuns both, preferring instead to drive the state into bankruptcy. On principle.

Suddenly liberals are all about compromise and all branches of the government working together. However when all branches of government worked together to block the disastrous Obamacare Health Care bill, they used political trickery to shove it down our throats.

The article goes on to complain that the American government has been virtually hijacked by these right-wing radicals and they are not answerable to the people :

It's a matter of principle. They view themselves as being on a mission and proudly claim to not think about their re-election chances. They are focused on their principles.

Yet, in so doing, they are betraying the principles of democracy. It is in the nature of democracy to think about re-election. It means politicians remain in touch with their voters -- and it keeps them open to compromise.

The truth is the only reason we were able to slow down the massive power grab by the federal government to seize our wealth and confiscate our private enterprises was because of the elections in 2010. The freshman Republicans are doing EXACTLY what their constituents sent them to Washington to do "starve the beast".

But it doesn't go far enough. Boehner is in serious trouble of losing his leadership role, seventy four percent of the House members polled in 3,500 chapters said it is time to look at new leadership, and want somebody in the House who is more fiscally responsible.

The deal on the the debt limit debate was more of the same old crap, with spending ramping up immediately and cuts being implemented over a ten year period. We know that this congress cannot legally hold future congresses to any deals it makes today, the cuts will probably never happen, except for Obama's hatchet job on defense spending.

So while the liberals in both America and Europe are accusing the Tea Party of driving America into chaos and destruction, the truth is that America's problems today didn't start in 2009 when the Tea Party arrived on the scene. They started in the 1960's with LBJ's War on Poverty and what became the "second wave" of the great Socialist cause in America. That's when welfare and spending programs skyrocketed, families and communities and the public education system began to self-destruct, and our major cities became hellholes of blight and poverty.

If you were wondering when our European friends would speak out and and warn their American friends of the catastrophic results of the European welfare state, you can stop waiting. They are not going to warn us, they want to take us with them.

"Annihilating Democracy with the Tea Party "

Ezra Klein is just stupid

Watch this exchange between Ezra Klein and Rick Santelli from earlier today on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. Santelli, whose February 2009 on-air rant over fiscal and economic mismanagement inspired the start of the Tea Party.

Klein still clings to the holy grail of the Keynesians, that is, that money must be confiscated then "moved around" and distributed fairly by the political class to ensure equality, Santelli lays into the arrogant little snot, watch him squirm like the weasel he is.

Despite the failed, stimulus, failed, bailouts, and a worsening economy, liberals still believe that the failure is because we have implemented more of their insane, suicidal, tax and spend economic policies.

Suddenly Obama wants to save jobs - His own

When you are entering a campaign season with the dismal job performance that Obama has what do you do ? The same thing you've always done, Point fingers blame someone else, and unleash a wall of ad hominem attacks against your opponents, but whatever you do, DO NOT talk about your specific policy failures, unemployment statistics, and the fact that you are dropping like a rock in the polls.

For 2 1/2 years we have been told how the economy and the wars were George Bush's fault. Obama ramped up the wars, started another illegal war of his own, and has driven the economy almost into contraction, it's barely surviving, and on life support. Job losses have increased, confidence is at all time low, and just when Obama was running out of ammunition for the shame and blame game he plays so effortlessly, along comes the debt ceiling crisis. Obama must of thought to himself Yes, Virginia there is a God, Allah, or Pink Unicorns, or whatever he believes in ?

Well okay it wasn't a crisis. We all knew weeks ahead of time what would happen. The politicians would fuss, sputter and spit for the cameras for a few weeks and then put together a useless deal and sign it at the last minute. But never let a god crisis go to waste, and if you don't have a crisis, create one. The democrats and MSM are all over this media manufactured crisis, and now they are spinning it into the new straw-man for Obama's failures, or at least trying.

I am not sure anyone other than the hard core Obama groupies are buying this load of crap, but that's not stopping the MSM from dishing it out.

At a Cabinet meeting, Obama told reporters the debt crisis - for which he blames House Republicans - created “an unnecessary negative impact on the economy.” He also criticized lawmakers for failing to reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration and putting thousands out of work, calling it “a good example of how undone work here in Washington can have an adverse impact on that economy.” He said he called his Cabinet together to make sure “they are redoubling their efforts” to improve the economy.

He forgot to mention that House Republicans have introduced a dozen bills to create jobs, including cutting government regulation and expanding oil drilling, nearly all of which stalled in the Democrat-led Senate.

So the next time obama tells you he is worried about saving jobs, remember he has had almost 3 years to work on that problem. But he was too busy with the Health Care Bill, Pushing Chevrolet to make little electric cars, advancing the gay rights people causes, and dodging the Constitution to start more wars, and let more illegal aliens into the country. But don't worry Obama and his cabinet are working diligently to get the economy back to where it was before the debt ceiling debate...wait a minute ?

The only job he is really concerned about his his own.

Obama: Congress to blame for economy

Just 22% Approve of Debt Ceiling Deal, Most Doubt It Will Cut Spending.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 22% of Likely Voters nationwide approve of the agreement while 53% disapprove. Twenty-six percent (26%) are not sure.

It seems the voters were right all along. While the media and the politicians fixated on the event, predicting doom and gloom, and Nancy Pelosi even going as far as scaring the old folks into thinking the Tea Party folks were out to kill them.

Most of knew weeks ago this would be the result. After weeks of beltway drama, they would agree to do nothing and go back to business as usual, each with enough evidence to prove to their constituents that they had tried their best, but this was the best they could do.

It's a little crazy really when you think about it, sending a politician to reduce the size of govt and reign in out of control spending that just happens to be their bread and butter. Anyone have a better idea, this ain't going to work.
