It was bad enough when someone lacking the experience to be so much as a Wal-Mart greeter was installed by ACORN as president of the United States.   Now we have union thug Dennis Hughes, former head of the AFL-CIO, appointed (most likely payback for campaign contributions) as Chairman of the Federal Reserve for New York.  

How is it possible that so many completely unqualified people are being placed in positions of such great power and Responsibility? Remember, the AFL-CIO is largely to blame for our trade deficit and the moving of manufacturing jobs overseas.   This power hungry, mob controlled organization ranks right up there with the modern day Democrat Party in their culpability for the destruction of economic freedom and individual liberty in what was once the United States of America. 

All the while, Mr. Obama takes a vacation at a $35,000 dollar a day estate with the nation losing a war in Afghanistan and the economy in the tank.   I wonder if any of this will make CNN or will they be too busy extolling the virtues Obamanomics and Obamacare…which by the way are both destined to fail. 

It guess from the Obama perspective now is as good a time as any to get the hell out of Dodge as his poll numbers continue in a free fall rivaled only by Nancy Pelosi and her seditious alliance over on Capitol Hill. I wonder what part of enough is enough these self serving narcissists don’t get? Then again, this isn’t about us…it’s about them and their never ending quest for power and control over the dumb masses.

My guess is this reprieve from Washington will buy some time for Democrats to plot their course for ramming some form of socialized medicine through Congress on a party line vote.   Interestingly the AFL-CIO and other union thugs have resorted their ubiquitous intimidation tactics against Blue Dog Democrats who provide the only chance for derailing Marxist medicine in Congress. 

It appears that once again Obama has lied to the public as he steers the course of beltway dialogue away from bipartisanship, currying favor to lobbyists from radical, left wing organizations who are demanding more government in our lives.   Then again, those of us with intelligence (read those that did not vote for the messiah) knew that he never intended to govern from the center (another Obama lie) but rather from the far left as evidenced by his track record while acting as a puppet for Bill Ayers and ACORN. 

Well, I’m waiting…I still have a mortgage and an empty gas tank.   You promised to take care of me from cradle to grave. I heard the campaign rhetoric and the best you can come up with is a taxman who refuses to pay his taxes. Oh, that’s right, he said he was sorry. Yes, it was a goof. In fact it wasn’t even his fault, it was Turbo Tax! Of course, silly me, go ahead and confirm the guy so we can all use him as precedent if we conveniently forget to pay our taxes. Then again, if we do it, we go to jail becase we are not members of the political elite.

Seriously folks, what’s the messiah done already? Wall Street tanked on Day One. He attended an overpriced orgy of fellow liberal elitists who flew in on their leer jets at our expense.   I heard he called a few foreign leaders….what dinner in Tehran? 

All the while the media gushes with pride and joy that their self serving man was put into office by the folks over at ACORN.   Usually I’d be willing to give the new president a chance, which I did. He promised that his election would bring about a change to politics as usual; yet we have a cabinet filled with Clinton retreads. The media promised an end to the racial divide; yet we had to listen to the race baiting drivel of Reverend Lowery. No more corruption in Washington; yet we sit through confirmation hearings on the queen of corruption herself.   Honesty and integrity inside the beltway; is that how Timothy Geithner spells his name? 

The liberal template has been laid out before us, so I guess wanting Obama to fail is where I stand. Certainly if he were proposing the Fair Tax, English only mandates, an end to illegal immigration, defeat of Islamic fascism and school choice I would want him to succeed, but that’s not where he stands. He stands for socialism and an undermining of our rights of economic freedom and individual liberty, so why on earth would anyone who loves America want to see that agenda succeed?

I don’t know how long the honeymoon will last but it can’t possibly be forever. Will it take saddling out kids with a few more trillion? Perhaps. Will it take a terrorist attack on our homeland? That may do it.   Will it take free healthcare, education and welfare for gate crashing criminals? Well, that’s already going on and people could care less.

My guess is once the nanny state stupor wears off, the anger will escalate. I think it may come down to increased taxes. Obama and his fellow liberals seem to be of the belief that they can just tax the superwealthy but the last time I checked they were in relatively short supply.   What happens when they are tapped out, or just get fed up and move elsewhere? 

Each trillion dollar check costs every American somewhere in the neighborhood of $6700 dollars.   We are talking multiple trillions for a population that doesn’t have fifty bucks in the bank.   The debt we are creating will be the demise of our country. If you don’t believe me, just wait until China decides to stop underwriting our foolishness. 

As any historian of the Great Depression will tell you, the market crash of 1929 would have resulted in mere recession of twenty four to thirty six months had the government not intervened.   They did and it took World War II and a half million American lives a decade later to fix what the government created.   If Obama and the liberal Congress institute what they have planned it will take an equally catastrophic event to get our nation back on course. Is that really what we want for our kids? Maybe you should ask those who are hoping his socialist agenda works.
