Inquiring minds want to know: Is Obama trying to bankrupt America? One short year ago, asking this question would have guaranteed my inclusion among the ranks of right-wing nuts and/or conspiracy theorists. Today, it is a serious question being asked by Neal Boortz, Rush Limbaugh and many other leading conservatives. Here’s why.

In the summer of 2008, as John McCain and Barack Obama were campaigning for president, a series of economic events (started by Sen. Schumer) resulted in shifting the focus of the presidential campaign off the Iraq war, and on to the economy. These events ultimately resulted in Barack Obama’s election as President.

On February 9^th, yet another liberal IED exploded in Washington. Surprisingly, I will wager that you haven’t heard a single word about it until now. The “revenue recidivist” himself said that he is “agnostic about raising taxes on households making less than $250,000 as part of a broad effort to rein in the budget deficit.” For those who are fond of brevity, this is known as a “Kerry” or a “flip flop.” For those more historically inclined, this is an “HW.”

When an Obama claims to be “agnostic” about something, it is a good idea to be absolutely firm on the definition of what it is that he is talking about because we know that he himself isn’t. “Agnostic: a person who holds that the existence of the ultimate cause, as God, and the essential nature of things are unknown and unknowable, or that human knowledge is limited to experience.” This comes from the “Dictionary” in my telephone. (My how technology has changed our lives.) Let’s delve into this liberal looking glass of a word.

Sometimes the eternal optimism of a child doesn’t take into account all of the things that they have done prior to their pronouncements that make their proclamations impossible to bring to fruition. Thus ANY statement or release from the Obama obfuscators must be taken with a grain of salt. Strike that, it must be taken with a block of salt.

Demokratik desperation seems to be breeding an idiotic brand of optimism that appears almost nonsensically naïve based upon the realities of the economy that has been forced upon America by Obama and the liberal Demokrats since 2006. The “Blameless Bumbler” in the White House constantly repeats his Marxist mantras for effect, as if the mere repeating of fascist fiction would somehow make it true. The next step will be for them to say the same things only louder. Liberal lunacy does not become more lucid with volume.

As the economy constricted from the latest bubble, what have we done?  On an individual basis, unless we have an economic death, wish we cut back spending, increase saving and pray we don’t get downsized, rightsized or thrown under the bus to free up capital for someone else’s bonus.   As a business owner we follow the same pattern.  People wonder why banks aren’t loaning money to small businesses.  Don’t mistake a symptom for the disease.  Banks aren’t loaning because businesses aren’t borrowing.

Businesses aren’t expanding; they’re trying to survive.  With the re-making of America still an enigma wrapped in a riddle on the horizon, no one knows how to make an educated guess as to what the future holds.  Without a clear vision of what will be required tomorrow, it’s impossible to plan today.  From Main Street to Wall Street people are keeping their heads down hoping if we click our heels enough times we’ll end up back in the America we know and love hoping we won’t have to admit this transparent collectivist shell game is the New Normal.

It would appear that Barack Obama has plans in place to begin the systematic sequestering of the necessary revenues in order to pay for his historic “hope and change.” For the Red Staters, this is translated from the liberal obfuscation to “the stealth mode targeted tax increases on the middle class are being arranged as the money is needed to reward the liberal base of unproductive siphons and limousine liberals who donated to his campaign.”

Neil Barofsky has probably been taken off of the Obama Kwanzaa card list for 2010 and beyond. Barofsky, who has been tasked with overseeing the TARP “bailout” funds, of late has been as invisible as Veep Biden who was left in charge of the “stimulus” and Rodham who was left in charge of buckets and mops. This unexcused absence came to an abrupt end as Barofsky has released a quarterly report that paints the Obama progressive pogroms in a curt black and white with only a few shades of gray.

Barofsky’s report which was highlighted in “TARP cop: Some Bailout Goals Still Unmet”, (fox news) said that “policymakers still have not addressed fundamental problems that triggered the financial crisis.” There are a few choice amorphous words in that last sentence which I will attempt to clarify.

In the recent Massachusetts election Republican Scott Brown confounded the purveyors of conventional wisdom and caused a magnitude 10 earthquake in the political world by liberating the Kennedy Senate Fiefdom from the grip of the Democrat machine.  To the 24 hour talking-heads this changes everything since the Democrats can no longer cut-off debate in the Senate though they can still stifle debate in the House and hold the Executive Department in their iron fist.  But did the Party of Power really experience anything besides a bump in the road?

In President Obama’s estimation, “we lost some of that sense of speaking directly to the American people.”  In reality Mr. Obama has made 52 addresses or statements specifically on his health care proposals, holding 42 news conferences, participating in 158 interviews, hosting 23 town hall meetings, making 46 out-of-town trips to 58 cities and towns in 30 states.  If he hasn’t been speaking directly to the American people what has he been doing?  He’s on TV more than Vinny from Sham Wow.  Considering that after the seismic electoral event in Massachusetts Mr. Obama’s political Svengali David Axelrod said, “We’ll have to think through this next year from the standpoint of tactics but in substance the mission can’t change.”  It isn’t that the President hasn’t talked enough the problem is he isn’t listening.  Communication is a two-way exchange and what we have here is a failure to communicate.

Yesterday, both John W. and Richard said that they would vote for me for president. Lets take the “news” of today and lets suppose that I was asked a question about the deficit and the economy. Lets see exactly what my “exploratory committee” would be in for.

As of today, as of this minute, the Obama deficit will cost every man, woman and child $41,300.00. Tomorrow that amount will be higher. Actually. The amount just went up as I was speaking. This is the sad reality of allowing the liberals to have the keys to the cash register.

Mort Zukerman, editor-in-chief of US News and World Report, in his article, “How To Get Americans Working Again” opines that there is no snap answer as to how accelerate job growth. He is wrong.

I’m not an intellectual, nor a PhD., nor have I ever labeled myself an expert, but do have a snap answer to his seemingly perplexing question. An answer that is guaranteed to lower the unemployment rate, kick start the jobs market and get the economy on track again. In four simple steps:

In a Fox News article entitled, “Obama Gets Voters’ Message: Jobs, Jobs, Jobs,” I have to wonder whether Obama and the liberal statists will EVER get the message, not that I am concerned that they ever will. The liberals have to try to navigate the leftist Titanic around the glacier-sized ego of the Super Ego, so they have their work cut out for them. What is the “message”? The old school liberals used to have trouble driving over the water; the latest liberal “lyin’” seems to be having trouble walking on it.

After another progressive powwow yesterday, the liberals have “concluded that the economy– jobs specifically and the broader topics of the nation’s financial health– must be priority No. 1.” Proving that they are ever so quick on the uptake, the leftists only took 366 days to figure out that by passing measures specifically intended to stifle both job growth and job creation, ALL of Obama’s OTHER “number one priorities” weren’t of any concern to real Americans. Supplanting capitalism with socialism isn’t the answer unless the question is, who is the only president that makes Americans say, “that Carter wasn’t such a bad guy.”
