Leadership Call

The continual compost that has been coming from Obama and his cadre of communists in Washington has the nation in need of at least hip waders. Always on the alert to slither between the cracks and as predicted in “Making Government Run” (NLTZ 10/23/09) the liberals want to surreptitiously raise their debt ceiling to $1.8 TRILLION. The goal is to make the whole deficit talk disappear as they attempt to once again hoodwink the American public, this time in 2010. It should be our goal then to talk continually of Obama’s deficit.
This leftist three card Monte was called “bold but risky” in Politico’s “Dems to lift debt ceiling by $1.8 trillion, fear 2010 backlash.” You will note that this chicanery wasn’t called “brilliant and effective.” What is the reasoning for the sleight of hand? They want it raised “before New Year’s rather than have to face the issue again prior to the 2010 elections.” It should have been called “transparent” as it exposes the liberals’ concern for holding office alone, not curing the problem that the Demokrats themselves have manufactured.
Suddenly the liberals are all feeling that their insincere public confessions and the cathartic cleansing of their consciences will make the problem go away. “We’ve incurred this debt. We have to pay our bills.” This came from Steny Hoyer, the liberal House Majority Leader. Just for giggles, why don’t the liberals trot out a few of their other mendacious mantras while they are at it. “We support the troops.” “The most honest, the most open, the most ethical Congress in history.” “I did not have sex with that woman.”
To Steny, there appears to be one overriding question in response to his soliloquy. “WHEN are YOU going to pay YOUR bills”? When the liberals start throwing around “we,” be prepared for another round of tax increases targeting the middle class. Then it is on to, “Why are your bills so high”? Stop making progressive promises to the nation’s unproductive liberal leeches. Put money INTO the hands of the middle class and small businesses, not take money OUT of their hands.
This NEW debt is “nearly twice what had been assumed in last spring’s budget resolution for the 2010 fiscal year.” Turbo Tim and the gang apparently can’t add and subtract, but they sure can multiply. It is safe to say that we can classify this as yet another “broken promise” from the Obama administration, and it is up to us to talk about it up until 2010.
“The leadership is betting that it’s better for the party to take it’s lumps now rather than risk further votes over the coming year.” The liberals correctly believe that this idiotic nation of ADD patients will forget about the dastardly liberals and their socialist subterfuge. All they have to do is find another set of “party crashers” or another goofy golfer and his Clintonesque harem of whores. Maybe they can get the American Idol and Dancing with the Stars to ramp up the excitement. We are just one more “boy in the balloon” away from another election being stolen by those who want to destroy the United States. As I have said, America’s enemy isn’t the liberals, it’s apathy.
Here is the brilliant answer from the liberals, “the creation of a bipartisan task force empowered to force expedited votes in the next Congress on deficit reduction steps.” “Bipartisan”? This is just another Marxist maneuver to not only “share the blame” for the inevitable failure of this useless “task force” but then to “share the blame” for the fact that the burgeoning deficit isn’t being addressed in a timely manner. It is a stall tactic on top of a stall tactic. Do you need further proof? “As introduced Wednesday, the legislation sets no specific targets for deficit reduction.” Here is a progressive poltroon who is addicted to the idea of “timetables” and “immediate action” and he can’t seem to get moving when it comes to a deficit that will crush generations to come.
This “18 member task force is promised immense leverage to force change (See Obama, Barack: FARCE Change.) if they can first come together behind a plan.” There you have it, my friends. Throw a few token Republicans into the mix, have the liberals make their typically outlandish and preposterous “promises,” which will be met with derision by the Republicans who will then be classified as “hate mongers.” The liberals will then stand about gleefully watching the time continue to run off of the clock with their patented disingenuous looks of concern on their faces because the Republicans refuse to “come together.”
This is also another extension of Obama’s “we inherited this mess” puling. We know that the liberals are an inbred bunch, but the proof lies (literally) in the fact that they have “inherited this mess” due to the fact that they have been sleeping with themselves in Congress since 2006.
Yet another liberal David Obey said, “It is December. We don’t really have a choice. The bill’s already run up, the credit card has already been used. When you get the bill in the mail you need to pay it.” Again, the primary focus has to remain on who this “you” is. This “you” is you as any monies charitably handed out by the leftist government to the perpetually unproductive and the intolerably useless is extracted from YOU.
Obama wanted America to suffer inordinately until the beginning of 2010. He intentionally caused millions to lose their jobs while demanding months ago that a bill be passed to “immediately” address the problem. It’s all about 2010 with the liberals. “The picture in 2010 is different. The administration is predicting the stimulus (which one, the first one or the second one that Obama was crowing about the day before.) will hit its stride with much more spending.” It’s “transparent,” Obama’s indifference to the suffering that he and the liberals have implemented is almost as galling as the fact that the stimulus was designed to allegedly “pay off” in the mid term election year, many months after their damage is done.
“The White House has vowed to be more deficit conscious.” They have been “conscious” of their deficit for months now, as proven by the Santa Claus aspect of the alleged stimulus. They are also “conscious” of the need to appear to be heroes in 2010. I wish that they would vow to actually do something constructive about their deficits as opposed to torturing hundreds of millions of Americans until 2010.
Obey later added, “the debt issue is a leadership call alone.” When it comes to a “leadership call” from this alarming administration, I would advise you to unplug your phone. It is also time for the loyal opposition to make a few “leadership calls” of their own.
