President thinks you are dumber than dirt

In eight years the Bush administration, with the enthusiastic cooperation of Democrats and Republicans in Congress, grew the size of the federal government about 60%.

In eight months Obama and the Democrats have tripled the size of the federal government, creating unprecedented deficits behind massive government spending.

ITEM

BEIJING, Nov 18 (Reuters) – President Barack Obama gave his sternest warning yet about the need to contain rising U.S. deficits, saying on Wednesday that if government debt were to pile up too much, it could lead to a double-dip recession.

______

Via Tea Parties and Town Hall meetings, millions of Americans have been protesting Obama’s spending orgy for many months.

President Obama epitomizes ’say one thing, do another.’  Translation: zero integrity.

Economists from across the spectrum have warned of the dangers of his out of control spending, warning about the devaluation of the dollar, the risk of hyper inflation, a deepening recession, tightening credit and the harm done small business, the backbone of the economy.

Now we face deepening recession, even depression.  Unemployment is breaking records.  The mortgage and housing industries continue to fall.

Still, the President and his lapdog Congress spend and spend and spend and propose more spending on healthcare and global warming  and you name it.

Now, all of a sudden, he is alive to the threat of his own spending policies just days after denigrating Tea Party people as “extremists” and “anti-government”?!

Americans!  Your President thinks you are so stupid, he can manipulate you into believing he really cares about the financial health of the country, just as he cares about prosecuting the war on terror, securing the border, or helping us achieve energy independence.

One supposes Obama made this statement to reassure the Chinese.  They are most likely laughing, just as when our esteemed Treasury Secretary told them their investments were safe in our hands.

What a bloody disgrace.

AND it goes FROM BAD to WORSE!  Heritage report here.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammad plays Obama: Holder plays the game

 Excerpt

Pat Buchanan knows a lot.  He has been around for a long time.  He has seen a lot of people screw up in Washington. Pat says the Obama administration is a developing train wreck, and the latest car to buckle might very well jump the track.

Writing this week, Buchanan asks the central question: are we at war or not?  If yes, then terrorists are enemy combatants, people who do not have U.S. Constitutional rights, people who should be treated the way we have always treated enemy soldiers: capture, try, convict, punish or release—all within the military structure for handing justice in a time of war.

However, the President is making it clear he does not think we are at war.  Apparently he thinks handicapping the American military further is in order, and apparently he does not trust the military to administer justice in the case of the 9/11 conspirators, contrary to what he said in 2006 as a senator.*

Ft. Hood Killer: Facts and Fantasy

“O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto Him).” (Koran 9:123)

“Surely, the worst of all living, in the sight of Allah, are those who reject Faith, so they do not believe” (the message of Islam). So, if you find them in war, make them an example (deterrent) for those behind them, so that they take a lesson.” (8:55-57).

“Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): ‘I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instill terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them.’” (8:12)
American television talking heads and certain print ‘reporters’ speculate Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan was motivated to kill 14 (one unborn) and wound 31 soldiers at Ft. Hood because:

>he snapped psychologically,
>he was harassed by fellow soldiers for being Palestinian,
>he was suffering from pre-traumatic stress (related to anticipated trauma), an unknown malady,
>he disassociated in the face of deployment,
>he was lonely without a wife and felt alienated in the Army.

These ‘experts’ assure us his murderous rampage had nothing to do with his Islamic beliefs, because, as everyone knows, Islam is a religion of peace.

No doubt Hasan’s attorney will plead insanity, holding the Army and American society responsible. Perhaps Mr. Obama will insist on a trial in civilian court, arguing Hasan cannot possibly get a fair trial before a military tribunal.

Certain facts tell a different story.

U.S. taxpayers funding terrorism: the ties that blind

by Allan Erickson

EXCERPT

What would you think if it was proven beyond doubt your tax money is getting into the hands of terrorists, not altogether accidentally?

How would you feel if you discovered that the dollar you paid in income tax had been channeled by the federal government through a bank bailout law to Citigroup which then ‘invested’ in an Islamic, or Shariah-compliant organization that transformed that dollar invested into a payout which was used to support international terrorism?

Was there ever a president as deeply enamored of himself as Barack Obama?

At this rate, it won’t be long before the president’s ego is so inflated that it will require a ZIP code of its own.

Starship Obama off course again: trying times for 9/11 terrorists

.

Anybody see a problem?  Perhaps a dose of cognitive dissonance?

On the one hand, Mr. Obama, as a U.S. Senator, says KSM and his kind at Gitmo should be tried by military tribunal, video here.

On the other hand, President Obama announces this week that 9/11 plotters will be tried in civilian courts in NYC, close to the site of the 9/11 attacks, video here.

More malaise anyone?

The leadership vacuum: adapt, migrate, or become extinct

EXCERPT

Good leadership is the persuasive talent to inspire people to cooperate for the greater good. 

The ability to adapt is the mark of intelligence.

Intelligent leadership combines these elements.

For all the hoopla these past three years characterizing Mr. Obama as the most brilliant political leader yet seen, little in the way of intelligent leadership has been demonstrated since January.

During the campaign he presented himself the slightly center left patriot capable of hobnobbing with radicals without contracting the disease.  Yet the moment he swore the oath, he started breaking it, along with his promise to govern from the center.

Now, only 10 months into his term, his approval rating has fallen through the floor, his disapproval rating soars, more than half the country stands opposed, while 38% according to Rasmussen strongly disapprove, translation: mad as hell.   Thirty-eight percent of 108 million voters is 41 million.  Add another 20 million who are seriously alienated and the future for Democrats looks mighty dim.

Thank you President George W. Bush

EXCERPT

. . . we will always be grateful for what George and Laura Bush did this week, with no media attention, when they very quietly went to Ft. Hood and met personally with the families of the victims of this terrorist attack.

FOR HOURS.

The Bushes went and met privately with these families for HOURS, hugging them, holding them, comforting them.

If there are any of you out there with any connection at all to the Bushes, we implore you to give them our thanks…you tell them that a bunch of gay Hillary guys in Boystown, Chicago were wrong about the Bushes…and are deeply, deeply sorry for any jokes we told about them in the past, any bad thoughts we had about these good, good people.
