Wouldn’t we all just love to go through life with absolutely nothing ever being our fault. And wouldn’t it be nice to lead such a charmed life where we had the privilege of being able to blame others for all of our mistakes? But unfortunately that’s just not the case unless, of course, you happen to be Barry, the one guy who it seems, can never be blamed for anything. I caught part of one of the Sunday talk shows yesterday and there was one of Barry’s idiotic ‘advisors’ confidently claiming that even after five years of his boss being in charge, and succeeding in only having made things worse, the fact that things are worse, is because of Bush.
So ask yourself, is it really any wonder that fewer and fewer Americans have much confidence in Barry's rather questionable ability to lead, and I use that term very loosely here. The confidence seems to slipping further as Barry prepares to deliver his sixth State of the Union Address on Tuesday. There’s a new poll out, this one conducted by Washington Post/ABC News, that finds that 50 percent of Americans now disapprove of the way Barry is handling his job as president; 55 percent disapprove of the way Barry is handling the economy and 59 percent disapprove of the way Barry is handling the implementation of his new health care law.
This same poll also shows that 62 percent of Americans now think that things in this country have "gotten pretty seriously off on the wrong track", while 51 percent say Barry is not a strong leader; 52 percent say he does not understand the problems of "people like you." Also 63 percent now have low -- or no -- confidence in Barry's ability to "make the right decisions for the country's future." And these people are just now seeing this? Jon Karl, the fill-in host of ABC's "This Week," asked White House spokesmoron Jay Carney on Sunday, "How can the president lead when barely a third trusts his ability to make the right decisions?"
And then came the response that we have become quite accustomed to hearing over the course of the last 5 years. There was no accepting of any blame, only the placing of blame on others. Carney responded by saying, "Jon, I think what we saw last year in 2013 was a Washington that did not deliver for the American people. And the president sees this as a year of action, to work with Congress where he can and to bypass Congress where necessary to lift folks who want to come up into the middle class." I think we can all agree that if there is one thing this White House seems to excel at, it is in the area of creating all manner of pathetic excuses.
Karl noted that Barry "Almighty", in last year's State of the Union, called for a higher minimum wage, immigration reform, and expanded background checks for gun buyers -- and none of it happened. Why would 2014 be any different, he wondered. Carney again responded in typical fashion saying, "Those were calls for action that involved Congress." He then went on to say, "The president is very disappointed that the Senate failed to heed the will of the vast majority of the American people when it came to expanding background checks." These days, where Carney doesn’t lie, he simply leaves things out.
Carney said, "On immigration reform, we're actually optimistic that 2014 will be the year that Congress delivers to the president's desk a bipartisan, comprehensive immigration reform bill that meets the principles he laid out and that he can sign into law." As for Americans' disapproval of Obamacare implementation, Carney said "it is absolutely worth it, no matter what happens politically." Adding, "I just disagree that Republicans are going to have a winning issue on this, if they decide to run on it, because they got to explain what repeal means." That’s easy, repeal would mean the opposite of what we have now, which is total chaos.
And on a topic of income inequality, which has now become the favorite topic of Barry and the Democrats as they attempt to draw attention away from the Obamacare debacle, and one that is expected to be a key element of Barry's speech, Carney said it's a problem that's been in the making for "over 30 years." And he said Republicans who blame Barry for pushing millions of Americans into poverty are overlooking "the worst recession since the Great Depression, which was in full bloom when President Obama was sworn into office." So here we have Carney once again sounding like a broken record, reverting to the old "Blame Bush" mantra.
And you know, as much as Democrats like to blame Bush, he really had little to do with bringing about this great recession to which Carney refers. Although I will admit that I was not a big supporter of TARP which Bush was a major player in. But having said that, the foundation for the collapse that occurred in 2008 was laid by a Democrat, Jimmy Carter, and was then built upon by yet another Democrat, ‘Slick Willie’ Clinton, in the form of the Community Re-Investment Act. Under this little jewel the government was able to literally force banks into loaning money to folks who would never be able to pay it back. And they didn’t.
And this is another instance where I find myself in complete agreement with Sen. Ted Cruz who says Barry should begin his speech on Tuesday night with an apology to the American people. He should apologize for forcing this attempt by government to seize control of our healthcare, apologize for the tens of thousands of new regulations that have had an adverse effect on the life of just about every American, apologize for taking more money from us in taxes, money that we have worked hard for in an effort to provide for our families, apologize for trying force his "climate change" agenda down our throats, and the list goes on!
As for the speech on Tuesday night, I won’t be tuning in. I simply refuse to sit there and continue to be lied to. This man who is orchestrating the demise of my country should be in prison, or at the very least he should be impeached, barred from being anywhere near that podium from which he will be speaking on Tuesday night. He is easily the most corrupt individual to ever hold his office, and were it not for the fact that he is black he would have long ago been impeached. He makes dictatorial threats describing how he intends to circumvent Congress and expects those of us who still believe in our Constitution to go along with him.
