Barack Obama is turning all of America into Detroit
It is a universal political truth that administrations do not begin to fragment when things are going well:it only happens when they go badly,and those who think they know better begin to attack those who manifestly do not. The descent of Barack Obama’s regime,characterised now by factionalism in the Democratic Party and talk of his being set to emulate Jimmy Carter as a one-term president,has been swift and precipitate. It was just 16 months ago that weeping men and women celebrated his victory over John McCain in the American presidential election. If they weep now,a year and six weeks into his rule,it is for different reasons.
Despite the efforts of some sections of opinion to talk the place up,America is mired in unhappiness,all the worse for the height from which Obamania has fallen. The economy remains troublesome. There is growth – a good last quarter suggested an annual rate of as high as six per cent,but that figure is probably not reliable – and the latest unemployment figures,last Friday,showed a levelling off. Yet 15 million Americans,or 9.7 per cent of the workforce,have no job. Many millions more are reduced to working part-time. Whole areas of the country,notably in the north and on the eastern seaboard,are industrial wastelands. The once mighty motor city of Detroit appears slowly to be being abandoned,becoming a Jurassic Park of the mid-20th century;unemployment among black people in Mr Obama’s own city of Chicago is estimated at between 20 and 25 per cent. One senior black politician – a Democrat and a supporter of the President – told me of the wrath in his community that a black president appeared to be unable to solve the economic problem among his own people. Cities in the east such as Newark and Baltimore now have drug-dealing as their principal commercial activity:The Wire is only just fictional.
Last Thursday the House of Representatives passed a jobs Bill,costing $15 billion,which would give tax breaks to firms hiring new staff and,through state sponsorship of construction projects,create thousands of jobs too. The Senate is trying to approve a Bill that would provide a further $150 billion of tax incentives to employers. Yet there is a sense of desperation in the Administration,a sense that nothing can be as efficacious at the moment as a sticking plaster. Edward B Montgomery,deputy labour secretary in the Clinton administration,now spends his time on day trips to decaying towns that used to have a car industry,not so much advising them on how to do something else as facilitating those communities’access to federal funds. For a land without a welfare state,America starts to do an effective impersonation of a country with one. This massive state spending gives rise to accusations by Republicans,and people too angry even to be Republicans,that America is now controlled by "Leftists"and being turned into a socialist state.
Before all the Obama haters start the celebration…
Remember{like Limbaugh hopes and prays for} } if Obama fails so does the country.
Dee
Wrong Dee,only if Obama fails in his agenda does the country have a chance to survive. He is a SAUL ALINSKY student,follower. Alinsky's son even commented how like his father Obama set up the Democrat Convention in Denver. Hilary is also an Alinsky mentored wanna be. You need to go back to school where they teach you to be objective,perhaps you won't drink all the kool aid being passed out by the Liberals.
Dee thanks to decades of "progressive"ideology the country is already failing.
Obama's agenda is suicide for this country and must be repealed immediately.
Let it fail and from the ashes the "PHOENIX"of liberty will once agian rise for we as a people are resilient….Our "GOD"did not place us and our ancestors and progeny to have their boot placed upon our souls and neck…Let them fail…
Perfectly said,dinghy! I especially love and agree with your words:"…From the ashes the PHOENIX of LIBERTY will once again rise"for WE THE PEOPLE are resilient! May God Bless America!
MEDICAL ALERT! MEDICAL ALERT!,90 % of congress men and women have been infected with the deadly virus known as Swine Barrel Flu,commonly known as pork barrel waste. There does not seem to be immunity for either party. Eventually everyone sent there catches it,and there is only one cure. Remove them from their duties and allow them to come home. This illness has grown to pandemic porportion and has infected the whole country. We must act immediately,we are at fault and only we can provide our government with a health care plan that will save us trillions of dollars. We must start recycling elected officials at the soonest opportunity. We must become more compassionate,no longer can we fail to do the right thing,give congress the health care plan they deserve,save them,as they can not do it themselves. Restore health to Washington in November,VOTE FOR THE NEW GUY. The above announcment has not been approved by either party.
Symptoms usually manifest as a serious hearing disorder,often failure to hear the voices of constituents,even when more than 50% of them are calling out the same words,"NO TO HEALTHCARE"Also there becomes a perverse tendency to tell lies,even to their co-representatives. More serious is the inability to know themselves,when they are lying. There is often an uncontrollable desire to spend other peoples money,as well as a tendency to blame someone else for their own short sightedness. Some of them have been known to commit criminal acts as they become delirious with the fever of unlimited power. These are the easily treatable cases. However some become very adept at hiding their illness. This is why in order to be sure we stamp out this virus,we will have to do the humane thing and remove them from the day to day exposer by bringing them home from Washington and send others not yet exposed to the pig headed infection that is so rampant in our nations capitol. Some of them will have to be quarantined at state facility often referred to as 'THE CROW BAR HOTEL'for as long as it takes to be 'CURED'. Normally that period of time is equal to the time frame they were exposed to the virus. There does seem to be,certain members of congress and the senate who have a natural resistance to the virus,study shows that it appears to come from an exercise they perform nightly and quite often during the day. They do deep knee bends and while they are down there,they pray for guidance,this seems to work very effectively.
Send them home? I say send them to prison for a long time for not upholding their oath! Amen dinghy!
"Lastmanstanding's"observation is correct. Congress is infected from and by the incest of their community. They are very sick;no backbone. No pride of integrity. They have lost touch with the people whom they are to represent. They should be quarantined. Just relish in the thoughts of the imaginery of a cross examination at the trial of the most offensive once out of office.
Please with all due respect examine the ethnity of he,his cabinet and appointees…They are Jewish or black….Why is that…Of what ethnicity are Saul Alinsky,Rahm Emanuel,Bill Ayres and others…There is a definite answer as to why….Search for it and enlighten yourselves….Study History…It is all there…
IMPEACH OBAMA IN 2010
http://www.impeachobamacampaign.com/
I hope it is the end for him.
It's not that the people are celebrating the demise of obama but the hope that the DAMAGE HE HAS DELIBERATELY DONE TO THE U.S.A. can be stopped and we can start to recover from it. As stated above the "PHOENIX"of LIBERTY will arise from the ashes that were done by him in an attempt to force SOCIALISM on us. The American people should have read what he stood for,the laws he voted for,his stance on everything was ANTI-AMERICAN from gun control to his NANNY STATE of socialist,communist,fascist,nazi beliefs. Who paid for his Harvard-Yale education? I think you would be appalled at the findings. Everything he has done,everything he stands for,is against the AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE. HE HATES THE FLAG,THE GOVERNMENT,THE MILITARY AND THE COUNTRY! The best thing that could happen for the United States of America and the WORLD for that matter would be for him to just go away and disappear.
Your right he does hate everything about america. Whats funny i would bet my last nickel that he hates Reid,Polisi,and every democrat in congress just like he hates everything else. I hope when he gets through with them they can look their families in the eyes. This is not about politics its about ruinning our country. He's already getting some of his payback as he is aging fast. All the democrats i know are sick of him and the other democrats in washington. He threatens people and i beleive thats against the law. Why is he getting by with that?
Obama is a Socalist bent upon the destruction of America and his minions of Tsars are running full bore in the Chicago style of politics from days of old. If they caint get you to vote with and for them they will assignate you one way
or the other. The quicker he fails and is run out of town with tar,feathers on a rail the better off the coutry will be. When he fail it will shake up the Goverement but it will not be a lasting effect except in the scrnity of future politician running for office. The hype by the media and Kool Aide drinkers who fell for the Rock Star media blitz did not bother to look beyond the glitz for substance. This regim has no staying power nor did it have the skill to be effective in any endevor they have attempted. The budget is out of control and we are headed for a major depression unless the American People wake up and put limits on these fools and corrupt officials in office.
