So while, at least up to this point, Barry "Almighty" has been busy performing his best, and rather personal, rendition of Nero fiddling while Rome burns, he has apparently now decided to cut his taxpayer funded Christmas vacation short and head home. His doing so allows him to, at least, appear to be interested in averting that much talked about headlong plunge over the 'fiscal cliff.' So with a yearend deadline now just around the corner and with us being no closer to reaching any sort of a meaningful 'deal' that would prevent us from going over, Barry is now said to be heading back to Washington. Big freakin deal!
According to those stellar folks in the White House, Barry is expected to arrive back in Washington early Thursday. Of course, Queen Michelle and the couple's two daughters will remain in Hawaii until Jan. 6. In the past, Barry's end-of-the-year holiday in his 'native' state have stretched well into the new year. The first family left Washington last Friday night. Congress is expected to return to Washington on Thursday. Let's be honest here, what, if anything, can we expect to take place with them in town that wouldn't have with them all being out of town? Especially when all the Democrats want is higher taxes.
Without some sort of action by Barry and Congress, automatic budget cuts and tax increases are set to begin in January, which many economists say 'could' send the country back into recession. Back into a recession? So far, Barry and congressional Republicans have been unable to reach agreement on any alternatives. Lawmakers have expressed little but pessimism for the prospect of an agreement coming before Jan. 1. On Sunday, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, (RINO), said she expects any action in the waning days of the year to be "a patch because in four days we can't solve everything." Can't or won't?
With Barry essentially laughing off Speaker John Boehner's plan to allow tax rates to rise on million-dollar-plus incomes, lawmakers are becoming increasingly worried that no deal can be reached. They are already preparing their arguments about who will be to blame if the new year comes without an agreement. Personally I see that as being a no brainer, it's the moron in the Oval Office. Barry already has scaled back his ambitions for a sweeping budget bargain. Before leaving the capital on Friday, he called for a limited measure that extends Bush-era tax cuts for most people and staves off federal spending cuts.
Barry and family were spending the holiday at a rented home near Honolulu. On Christmas Day, hoping for a nice little photo op, no doubt, they took time out of their very busy schedule to put in an appearance with members of the military in order to express thanks for their service. While at the Marine Corps Base Hawaii's Anderson Hall, Barry actually said, "One of my favorite things is always coming to base on Christmas Day just to meet you and say 'thank you.'" He went on to say that being commander in chief was his greatest honor as president. What a load of crap, he hates the military!
Look, anything that Barry does is meant to do one thing and one thing only. And that is to do nothing more than to create the false impression that he genuinely does not want us to go over the cliff. How many really believe that he cares one iota if he'll be blamed when things get worse? He couldn't care less, he wants things to get worse, he's on a mission here to wreak as much havoc as he possibly can. His goal to lay waste to the economic system that provides the most opportunity that then allows the most people to become the most prosperous. And hence not need government. He wants people to need government.
