A Primary-Season Poem

With all that Barack & the Democrats have done,
A Republican campaign should be smooth sailin';
But if Rom-i-ney is the nominee,
I'm writing in Sarah Palin.

Do nothing.

I would much rather have a “do nothing” Congress than a repeat of the Pelosi-Obama-Reid Congress of 2008–2010.

What a demagogue.

Ooh, this just pisses me off.

You are not “a warrior for the middle class.” You are a warrior for the low-class, entitlement-class losers who see themselves only as victims. Seriously. Surely everyone knows that the tax rate goes up as one’s income goes up.

The only way “a billionaire [would] pay the same rate as a plumber or a teacher” (rather than a higher rate) would be if Congress were to pass the flat tax.

Doesn’t anybody edit Obama’s speeches?

Doesn’t anybody edit Obama’s speeches? Where are all the teachers’ union employees?

“ ‘Either we gut education and medical research or we’ve got to reform the tax code so that the most profitable corporations have to give up tax loopholes that other companies don’t get. We can’t afford to do both.’ ”

Assuming for the moment that either gutting education and medical research or reforming the tax code to eliminate tax loopholes would reduce the budget deficit, doesn’t he mean that we can’t afford to do neither?

If either of these would reduce the budget deficit, wouldn’t it be better (from a budget deficit perspective) to do both? What does he mean when he says, “We can’t afford to do both.”? By his own logic, doesn’t Obama have this exactly backwards? Who edits this stuff?

The Obama Tax

The fact that Obama seems to like toxic programs that don't take effect until 2013 or beyond, such as Obamacare and the Buffett tax, has given me an idea.

The Republicans in the House should propose and push an explicit Obama tax—a 50% tax rate, across the board (payroll, capital gains, whatever the source)—on anyone making more than $20K that takes effect in 2013 only if Obama is reelected.

Cult of Personality

“ ‘If You Love Me, Ask Congress to Pass My Jobs Bill’ ”?

Who but a freaking narcissist would say something like that? And who but a bunch of sycophantic zombies would go along with him?

What I Want

What I want is for Sarah Palin to announce that she’s running—and to make the race a clear and distinct choice between her vision for America and the vision espoused by Barack Hussein Obama (PBUH).

Where is the President on this?

Why isn’t our President speaking out against this lawlessness?

Fascist Is as Fascist Does

Compare President Obama's statement exhorting “businesses to ‘step up’ and hire workers” with the approach taken by the Nazis to end the depression in Germany—from The Nazi Seizure of Power, p. 270:

After the initial discussion [Local Group Leader] Girmann spoke in summary. He promised to attack legal [?] competition. He affirmed that Nazism was committed to the idea of decent profits. But he also swore he would crack down on anyone cutting wages, hoarding money instead of investing it, or working employees overtime.

Talk about ominous parallels...

Hope Springs Eternal

Gee, if this guy had been running in 2008 I would have voted for him, too. Must be some other Obama, though, because the One we got is a flaming leftist from way back.

But seriously, folks, this is how the guy got elected. Gee, don't he sound great? [And, of course, the lamestream media didn’t challenge these characterizations since they were, and are still, in bed with him. — Ed.]

I weep for our country.

Ah, well, hope springs eternal. Palin 2012.

Disingenuous

A picture dictionary would have BHO’s portrait beside the word “Disingenuous”.

From his campaign speech yesterday, courtesy of Commentary Magazine:

‘I don’t need another tax cut. ... And I believe that most wealthy Americans would agree with me. They want to give back to the country that’s done so much for them. Washington just hasn’t asked them to.’

 Anyone who wants to give back to their country is free to do so. One can always make a voluntary donation to the U.S. Treasury; even better than that would be to make a direct donation to the charity of one’s choice—heck, one can even do that and then not bother to claim a tax credit for the charitable donation.

And what is this about the wealthy not paying more in taxes because “ ‘Washington just hasn’t asked them to’ ”? Raising the tax rate does not a request make—raising the tax rate a mandate makes. That's not asking.

Dis·in·gen·u·ous.

Waah.

You’d think that after 8 years of Bush-bashing, President Obama would recognize the need to take as good as he gives. But no; instead, he just comes off sounding petty and immature.

Irony

Does anyone else see the irony in the juxtaposition of this post on Obama’s pledge to mobilize the military to combat the oil’s assault on our shores with the post earlier this week on the forfeiture of a swath of Arizona to Mexican smugglers? Talk about an assault on our shores….

Impeach

Can we just impeach him now? OK, how about next year, after the Republicans regain control of the House and Senate?

Disuniter

Why does President Obama insist on arrogantly nurturing divisions among us? Wasn’t he supposed to be post-partisan or something?

Resignation Requested

Dear Mr. President,

I think you have made quite enough money, thank you, so please just resign.

Sincerely,
DavidD

It’s the spending, stupid.

’Nuff said.

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while.

I finally realized today another, more devious reason, besides wanting to hide the costs, that the benefits in ObamaCare do not start until 2014.

It’s so that Obama can insist that he has to get reelected or the benefits will never kick in—that if he’s defeated the bill will be overturned. And he’s right.

Obama, the Late-Night Talk-Show Host

What, did Obama have a laugh track and applause lights during today's speech? He must think he's a late-night talk-show host. Listen to this video, at about 2:10. I wonder if it was all just nervous laughter.

Total Recall

I propose a Constitutional amendment allowing for recall elections for President.
