The Obamination Continues
Mar 4, 2009 Political
Looks like the Obama express is sailing as smoothly as the Titanic. The Obama administration suffered a few setbacks in the past few days. These would be setbacks not including the dropping stock market that has lost about 3000 points or so since Obama was sworn in and over 6500 points (half of its value) since the Democrats took control of Congress in January 2007. The collapse happened after Democrats were in control. Make no mistake, everything that has happened since 1/20/2009 belongs to Barack Obama.
It is interesting that Obama is hell bent on destroying this country all in the name of making it a bastion of Socialism. He is attempting to tax the “wealthy” in order to redistribute the money to those who are not wealthy. It is exactly what he told Joe the Plumber he would do.
Obama hit a snag on taxes because Republicans oppose his tax increases and Democrats are not happy with the removal of some itemized deductions. They worry (rightly so) that it will lead to fewer donations to charities. They are correct, it will. Obama is also attempting to do things that will cost everyone more money in taxes. He wants to impose these environmental rules such as cap and trade which will drastically increase the cost of many industries. Those costs will be passed on to the consumer who will be paying a back door tax increase. The Obamabots including Geithner are still making the claim that there will be tax cuts for 95% of familes. 40% don’t pay any to begin with.
I want the Timmy Geithner tax plan. I don’t want to pay any taxes and I don’t want to be bothered by anyone telling me to pay them until Barack Obama selects me to be in his administration. Geithner is in charge of ensuring people don’t cheat on their taxes. That is like making Bill Clinton the chaperon in a girl’s dorm or Ted Kennedy the designated driver. [My Way News]
No Voting Rights for DC
The Democrats have been trying to get voting rights for DC. Yes, the people who live there have the right to vote but they have no representation in Congress or should I say they have no representation that can vote. The people of DC have been complaining about this for a long time and it looked like the vote on it might happen. It would have been overturned because it would be unconstitutional but that has never stopped the Democrats in the past. DC is not a state and only states have representatives.
This bill was pulled. Why would they do that? Was it because they realized it was in violation of our Constitution? No way. They pulled it because Blue Dog Democrats said they could not vote for the bill because it contained a back door gun control law. I told you the liberals were trying to impose gun control and they are slipping it into everything. The Blue Dogs were worried that the NRA would use the vote to give them all failing grades and they would lose their reelection bids in their fairly conservative districts. So much for principle. I would have respected them if they opposed it because, say, it was unconstitutional.
Here is how to solve the problem. Introduce an amendment and see if it can be ratified. It would take forever and I doubt it would pass but that is the appropriate way to handle this kind of issue. They could also make it illegal for DC to have residents. All folks would have to move to Virginia or Maryland or anywhere for that matter. That way they would not be taxed without representation.
That would be a bit harsh but we could do it without moving too many folks. Why don’t we follow the Constitution and make DC 10 square miles (Article I Section 8). The excess land can be moved back to the states that provided it and the tax base would belong to the states.
Who am I kidding? Why would Maryland or Virginia want to take on that kind of mess.
Regardless, DC is not getting a vote in Congress. Good. If they want the representation then they need to do it the right way and let the people decide via the amendment process. [Human Events]
The Russians have the same definition of bipartisan as the Democrats
Barry Obama said he believed in discussing things. He vowed to talk to leaders of hostile nations without precondition. He is a man who believes in diplomacy. Unfortunately, his idea of diplomacy is to bend over and grab his ankles. The US was to put a defensive missile shield in Poland. Russia opposed that and threatened to put offensive weapons in the region.
The Evil Won said he wanted to look into it. Poland did not want the missile defense to go away and Russia did not want it in the area.
Obama sent a letter to the Russian leader saying he was willing to put a stop to the missile defense if Russia would help the US with regard to Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Russia’s leader said that Obama’s willingness to nix the missile shield amounted to positive signals but that there would be no haggling. In other words, he said that the solution is we don’t put up the missile shield and Russia continues working with Iran to develop its nuclear capabilities.
The Russians are like Democrats. Bipartisan is when you do things the way they want. Obama just got slapped like punk kid. If I were he the missiles would be heading to Poland tonight. Obama will just end up giving in.
Did anyone tell Obama that the Russians have been helping Iran? [Deutsche Welle]
Not a real good past few days. The Dow continues to drop faster than Bill Clinton’s trousers and it would appear as if the government is going to need even more money to stimulate because the first batch spent is not doing very much (surprise) and people are really fed up. The Evil One’s approval ratings are dropping and he is meeting resistance within his own party.
He will be smoking unfiltered Camels by next week.
