President Obama, Our Scapegoater In Chief

That was fast. Mounting his shrinking soapbox soon after the Senate passed the debt-ceiling bill, President Obama took less than a minute to lapse into his class-warfare shtick.
It's always us-against-them with him, but yesterday was especially off-key. For all its drama and histrionics, the vote in Congress was a rare note of bipartisanship he could have embraced as a model.

The nation avoided the dreaded default and did it with lopsided support in both houses. A majority of both parties in the Senate backed the deal, while in the House, Republicans backed it by more than 2-1 while Dems split evenly for and against.
This isn't dysfunction. This is a successful democracy taking action. It was messy and flawed and nobody loves it. But the deal proves compromise still can work in a divided country.
Yet the result doesn't suit our president, who has an itch for punishing wealth and more spending. To scratch it, he turns reflexively to scapegoating. The man who promised to unite the nation instead relishes dividing it at every opportunity.
So we heard again that the evil "oil companies" and "billionaires" and the "wealthy" and "big corporations" need to "pay their fair share." Doesn't he ever get tired of saying the same things?
I don't know which is worse: That he really believes such drivel will help America, or that he's cynically throwing red meat to the Bubbas of his far-left base. Either way, he needs new material.
But the debt debate made it clear that Obama's idea shop is running on fumes. Like a broken record, he's stuck on the same song -- bigger government, higher taxes. No matter the circumstance, he repeats the mantra.
For such a smart guy, he's proving to be a slow learner about what works, and doesn't. He, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid had their unfettered way for two years, and they blew a giant hole in the budget without getting much bang for taxpayers' bucks.
Unemployment is a staggering 9.2 percent and rising, and most economists believe the economy is in serious danger of a double-dip recession. Obama's answer: Let's do it all again.
He gives lip service to the pain of the unemployed and underemployed, then trots out the old ideas. Usually he doesn't even bother to repackage them.
Maybe he hasn't noticed or doesn't care, but the country is giving up on him. The shellacking his party and policies took in the 2010 midterms would be repeated if there were an election today. He's sinking, and his approval is now a woeful 40 percent -- that's Jimmy Carter territory.
The Dow Jones industrial average took a big dive yesterday and is on an eight-day losing streak, the longest since the meltdown days of October 2008. A broad measure of stocks shows a decline for the year, and the threat of a rating agency downgrade on United States debt is still very much a live proposition.
In fact, Obama's intransigent stance against entitlement changes and pro-growth tax reform actually argues for a downgrade. His position makes further progress on reducing the debt less likely, and thus calls into question America's ability to meet its increasing obligations.
And he wants four more years. Good grief.

That up above is kind of ugly. Every time, the ugly truth is better than a polished lie or a misleading excuse. America has mislead itself and many other countries in the world. That's the truth. It seems likely, everybody is going to have a front row seat watching this "political train wreck".

In order for America to restore it's Honor, Integrity, Credibility and Global Standing?
America must cleanse itself of the "politicians" that have compromised/sold this nations Honor,Integrity and Credibility. It will take 10 years to do this. 2012 is a year away...We must start today.

World Markets clearly indicate?
America is everyone's problem...
However, it is up to America to fix the problems..

There is so much crap going on...It's no wonder folks can't keep up with...there are not enough hours of the day to sift through it.....However, I spend on average 5-6 hours a day...just trying to keep up with it...no chance in hell of getting ahead of it..... Fortunately, others send me stuff from time to time....below, is an example.....

"60 Minutes last night basically confirmed this and others
Cisco CEO had very interesting comments on WHY this is happening and, most important, HOW TO FIX!
After Today's Google buy of Motorola, expect them to move off shore quickly.
It is all about Business Taxes...(and most think it is cheap labor)

General Electric is planning to move its 115-year-old X-ray division from
Waukesha , Wis. , to Beijing . In addition to moving the headquarters, the
company will invest $2 billion in China and train more than 65 engineers and
create six research centers. This is the same GE that made $5.1 billion in
the United States last year, but paid no taxes-the same company that employs more people overseas than it does in the United States .

So let me get this straight. President Obama appointed GE Chairman Jeff
Immelt to head his commission on job creation (job czar).. Immelt is supposedto help create jobs.

I guess the President forgot to tell him in which country he was supposed to
be creating those jobs.

If this doesn't show you the total lack of leadership of this President, I
don't know what does."
