IN SPEAKING ABOUT CONGRESS, OBAMA SAYS, “WELL GEE, NOBODY HELD A GUN TO THEIR HEAD!”

 

White House Spokesmoron, Jay 'Dim Bulb' Carney, placed the blame for the $16.4 trillion national debt squarely on Congress, as he again asserted that Barry "Almighty" will not negotiate on raising the debt ceiling. And what I found it to be quite amazing was that Spokesmoron Jay Carney could actually say to reporters on Monday, and with a straight face no less, that "Nobody forced Congress to rack up the bills that it incurred." He then went on to say, "And it is an abdication of responsibility to say we’re going to let the country default and cause global economic calamity simply because we’re not getting what we want in terms of our ideological agenda." Let's not lose sight of the fact that this is after we have seen the national debt increase by $5 Trillion since Barry "Almighty" took office in 2009. Let's face it, when during the first two years of his fist term, congressional leadership consisted of 'Dingy' Harry Reid and 'Stretch' Pelosi, how much 'forcing' would have been required?

 

Barry "Almighty" and House Republicans had a showdown in 2011 over raising the limit on the amount of money the government can borrow, that would be the "debt ceiling," when Republicans sought to reduce federal spending before borrowing more money. That battle resulted in what was described as being a ‘compromise’ that consisted of the forming of a super committee from members of Congress to put together a debt reduction proposal or face automatic tax hikes and spending cuts (sequestration) by 2013, that much talked about so-called fiscal cliff. On Jan. 1, Congress passed, and Barry "Almighty" signed, a negotiated deal to postpone the spending cuts and raise taxes only on incomes higher than $400,000. Although the payroll tax (for Security Security) rate is going up for all workers from 4.2 percent to 6.2 percent. Congress must reach a deal on the debt ceiling by either February or March. And at this point the Democrats want to do nothing more than to raise taxes even further.

 

Carney actually described Barry as being "willing to compromise in order to achieve policies that advance our economic growth and help the economy create jobs and bring down our deficit in a responsible and balanced way." Really? Carney also said of Barry, "He will continue to do that. We have as a result of the fiscal cliff, two more months to deal with the so-called sequester and that’s something the president will obviously be addressing." Adding, "What he will not do, as he has made clear, is negotiate with Congress over Congress’ sole responsibility to pay the bills that Congress has already incurred." But the real clincher came when he said, "Nobody forced Congress to rack up the bills that it incurred." Going on to say, "And it is an abdication of responsibility to say we’re going to let the country default and cause global economic calamity simply because we’re not getting what we want in terms of our ideological agenda. The president is not going to participate in that."

 

Such purely political drivel is just so disingenuous, as well as being patently dishonest. Does he, or his lying boss, really think that we're all that freaking stupid? Granted, those who comprise his core constituencies most likely are that stupid, but come on folks, it's time for the rest of us to snap out of whatever stupor we're in! The sad truth of it that as much as Barry would like us all to think that he, somehow, has had nothing whatsoever to do with our worsening debt problem, he actually had everything to do with it. And the fact that he's now trying to blame it all on Congress comes across as being more than just a little sleazy and definitely not behavior one normally expects from a president. But as we have learned over the course of the last four years, Barry is no ordinary president. He sees himself as being much smarter than the rest of us mere mortals, as we are only deserving of being lectured to. Our president is a liar and a political opportunist. And he takes personal responsibility for absolutely nothing! EVER!

 

So, I guess, Barry should simply be allowed to borrow and then spend what he's borrowed like a there's no tomorrow with, of course, the assistance of congressional Democrats, and with the specific intent of creating just the scenario that he has? And meanwhile the rest of us are now supposed to willingly allow the raping of the U.S. taxpayer in order to prevent our country from being able to pay the bills that have essentially been intentionally run up by those same Democrats? That's just insane! So those of us who have been totally against this record level of spending that has essentially been underway, unabated, for four years, are now just supposed to happily pony up even more of our hard earned money to cover the bills that were created totally against our wishes? How the fuck nutty is that? Screw 'em. Shut the government down, shut it all down, somehow we need to bring this insanity to a screeching halt, and if that's the only way, so be it!. And either the Republicans will decide to put their big boy pants on and do what's so obviously needed, or they can get the Hell outta Dodge.
