pelosi

I continue to marvel at how the Obama team is completely out of touch with reality.  No…hear me out…

For 364 days (more if count the time between election and swearing in of Scott Brown), Barry and his posse had a super majority.  They controlled the House, Senate, and White House.  The key is the Senate, with a filibuster-proof 60 vote majority.  In simple terms, the Dems could do what ever the hell they wanted – NO Republicans need apply.  But, the trio of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid went on whining about Republican obstructionism.

I’m sorry….what?  (By the way, if you try to use obstruction in an argument, you have no credibility and I will ignore you)  But, this is not the point…

Now Doctor Zero wants to be nice and play ball.

Republicans sent letter after letter, bill after bill, to the President.  All were ignored, and Barry lied when he said, “they just want to say no, they have no ideas.”  The people screamed at them in town halls…and they did not listen.  In fact, the Dems called them names and blew them off as “kooks” or “extremists.”  Poll after poll showed the approval of heath care legislation plunge to levels only seen by W.  Barry blew off the elections in New Jersey and Virgina, denying to themselves that the people do not want what the Dems are selling.  Along comes Scott Brown, in the bluest of blue states…a Republican in the Lion’s chair.

….and now Barry wants to be nice?  Its seems like an abusive spouse coming back to profess his love for the one he abuses.  But, unless you play by Barry’s rules, he will try to slap you around again.

I’m happy to see the GOP digging in their heels.  They know that Barry is trying to set them up… “See, I stuck out a hand and they ignored me.  It’s not my fault.”  Don’t give in…the American people are too smart.  Republicans know that the game is afoot.

Republicans are not the problem….Democrats are.  The socialist policies of Pelosi, Reid and Obama scare the hell out some of those Dems as well.  But, in true Barrack Obama form, he wants to point the finger elsewhere.

What entertains me (or offends me, I can’t decide) is the way Doctor Zero thinks he’s got the upper hand here.  He wants to play hard ball when he doesn’t have the leverage.  He wants to play hard ball when after a full year of a super majority, he couldn’t get his agenda through.  Now, Barry NEEDS Republicans and he’s trying to change his image to Mr. Nice Guy.

Sorry Barry….go sit down.

* – “all” typically means everything, everyone, no one left out, 100%.

Except, when you’re a Democrat, the term “all” means almost everything or everyone.  The political equivalent of horseshoes and hand grenades.  To quote Rep. John Dingell (D-MI) from his speech last night in the health care “debate”

“It provides coverage for 96 percent of Americans. It offers everyone, regardless of health or income, the peace of mind that comes from knowing they will have access to affordable health care when they need it.”

PelosiCare will cover 96% of Americans…but offers everyone care.  I’m sorry, wait, which is it?  Everyone…or almost everyone?  96%?  What about the other 4%? In case you’re curious, 4% of the American population (roughly 305 million) is a little more than 12 million people.  Let me repeat that to make sure the number sticks in your head…

Per the Democrats, 12 million Americans will STILL be WITHOUT coverage despite a huge explosion of government bureaucracy and over $1.2 trillion (or more) in spending.

pelosi, fail…

May 17, 2009

A month without posting is entirely too long, especially with the gift that keeps giving, Nancy Pelosi.  Sorry ’bout that… Nancy has been flipping more than a cook at IHOP.  This whole torture fiasco has become an embarrassment for Pelosi…and she has become an embarrassment to our country.  She’s been caught in a lie, and [...]

fair…

February 24, 2009

Fairness comes in many forms and is often cited as a reason to either: give everyone an equal opportunity or share equally in the reward.  The unfortunate part is, there is no consideration of the appropriateness of “forced fairness,” which is not fair in and of itself. Look…I absolutely support helping those who have found [...]

how much money?

February 11, 2009

The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act…AKA … The Stimulus Bill, the Generational Theft Act, the Porkulus, the Spendulus… $1,000,000,000,000 (yeah, that’s a TRILLION) of YOUR money. The Trinity of Taxation…Obama, Pelosi, and Reid…has just begun to pick apart you paychecks in the name of “spreading it around a little.” H.R. 1 is a sad statement [...]
