opines that "WE HAVE RUN OUT OF HOPE, OBAMA"

Yesterday we really, really needed Barack Obama to hit one out of the park. Instead he got up to the plate and choked. Again.
I felt worse when he finished than when he began. So did the stock market, which kept dropping and dropping post-speech as analysts talked about the “fear index” and nervousness turned to outright panic.
She continues her drivel for a few more paragraphs ( you can read if you want ), and then gets taken behind the woodshed with this GREAT comment in the comments section... GOD I would love to be able to write like this!!!
Commenter:
Three quarters of this article was pretty good. You were really preaching to the choir there Marge. Some of us have been singing this tune for a while.
Then you go and fall right into this administration's trap. It's the straw man's fault. He did it. He went out and made his money and then kept about half of it for himself. He would not give it to the people who have rung up the largest amount of debt in human history. They won't throw their money into the fire while Rome burns. Traitors.
You see Marge, it's always someone else. There is always a villain. It's Glenn Beck, or Fox news, or Wall St., or oil companies, or corporate jet owners, or S and P, or the Cambridge police, or fast food, or the Tea Party, or just "people who tell you you can't do something". You see, it's always someone elses fault, or George Bush's fault, or it's just a straw man pulled from thin air.
You keep falling for it. Even when you admit that he is failing, you still instinctively blame tax paying Americans. That's right, people who pay taxes. And Tea Party people pay taxes too. You are still blaming people who have paid twenty five to fifty percent of all the money they have ever earned to the government so people like Barney Frank and John Kerry can spend it all. But even that is not enough. No. They need more. Almost fifteen trillion more. And even now, that is still not enough. They want more. And you, you buy it hook, line and sinker. No, it's not the people who spent all the money, all our money, and then rang up the credit card for 15 trillion. No, it's not them. It's the taxpayers. It's the people who have been paying all along. THEY are the problem. And the people who showed up in the last couple years pleading "STOP!!! For the love of God STOP!!!". They are the problem.
This argument, these democratic talking points, they make no sense.
Taking no responsibility is not leadership. Pointing fingers is not leadership.
Saying "We here in Washington have done a bad job of managing your money. You all work hard and we take a big chunk of what you earn. We have not done a good job with what you have given us, and you have given us plenty. We here in Washington vow to you, the hard working, tax paying Americans, to start putting you first, to start thinking of your best interests instead of our own. We promise to start putting country before career, and accept whatever fate that brings. We vow to seriously address this debt, and to reverse it's course so that sometime in our children's future, it will be paid in full, and we will be able to invest in our country responsibly and wisely. We have failed you up to now, and we stand before you today with a new resolve so that we may regain your trust. You deserve better, and today, we begin a new path.", that would be leadership.
Then we could all pay our debts

"He looked right into his teleprompter. Not once did he look the camera, or us, straight in the eye. It’s what people do when they’re lying.
ReplyDeleteI don’t believe he’s lying. I do think he’s rudderless and scared, which makes me petrified."
You lay out the ground work about the tell tale signs of a liar, then you state you don’t believe his is lying, because you are so in a trance over the messiah. Pitiful. “The rich don’t pay enough”. Tax them more then. It’s already been studied that if you take 100 percent of the “rich Americans” income, the government will run for a month. Stop with the platitudes. Liberalism, socialism has been exposed. It has a shelf life (other peoples money). Time’s up. Now write objectively or go to a soup kitchen with your brethren!
I am not elpquent, I have no flowery words, I am what I am, and even as stupid as I am painted by this administration, even I know,,, spending more than you have,, come on, there is not a red blooded American among us that can't see that this is wrong. but to blame those that DO pay for all the problems is "biting that hand that feeds you" and those that FEED might just change thier minds,, WE are responsible WE are the only ones that pull OUR pants out of the fire. YOU need more monies cause your spending more,, fine go ahead, bankruptcy, but remember this, YOU are supposed to REPRESENT US, and we, WE are not bankrupt or corrupt, you are,, Bite the hand a few more times the hand and the food,,, is gone
