Where it began to go wrong, and what is wrong now

Van Jones, Special Advisor for Green Jobs, Ent...
It started with a scrotal tightening thrill of fear when we heard "We are 5 days away from fundamentally changing the USA"
Is that what he said, because that's what I heard?
Apparently so did many others.
By the time Van Jones got thrown under, the warnings by the 'right wing fringe' all during the Ayers, Wright, McPeak, Power, episodes, as these worriers were portrayed began to make some others wonder with an eyebrow tensing glare.

Then came the Guantanamo Bay shuffle. Signing the order to close followed by the admission by action that closing it was impossible, and then the silence by the MSM.

The Czars continued to be appointed and suddenly people began to wonder about republicans who voted to confirm a man who wrote that t the Constitution doesn't mean what it says, or what it did .. as the overall champion of executive regulation and bureaucracy.

Obama goes to the Olympic Committee, after a tour apologizing for past American actions and our way life, parasitically sucking up more energy resources than many others, gets embarrassed by them and proceeds to bow to the Al Saud.

The takeovers of GM and forced sale of Chrysler might have had a salutary effect on the individuals and institutions that held those bonds when it was plain that the entire matter was handled in a way to benefit those in the unions who made the decisions to where political funding went. After all, if GM simply stopped producing those skilled workers would have found demand for their services by Toyota, Nissan, Kia, Hyundai, etc. And now we see that GM is trying to find a way to borrow the money to pay for the government seized equity and loaned funds from Obama. No doubt they are seeking unused stimulus funds, perhaps the same funds some republicans wanted to use for extended unemployment.

And then came Health Care, supported by a government-Krupp/Bayer/BASF like front not seen since the mid to late 30's. It was spported by the pharma industry, insurance industry, AMA, and the SEIU's. A little thought and one can see why. Short term self interest, fear of govt power and desire for it over time looking forward, and demagogued passivity. It passes amid a slew of deals so disgusting to so many that some of the key congressmen on whom sunshine fell, can no longer compete for a seat. The day after passage some major companies announce they must reserve so much cash for the requirements of the bill they face layoffs, cancelled expansions and hiring freezes, as they are required by statute to do. Obama's supporters like Waxman in Congress demand hearings of these executives, who tell them quietly off, and no hearings are held. In the few months since, every announcement and analysis has demonstrated the increased costs we face as a result of this bill, the opposite of what was promised, and as warned by the so called right wing fringe. My own costs for the super govt program via their own site this past week show HIGHER COST for a plan with a $2500 a year higher deductible. When I applied for an application, NO RESPONSE was received.

By now, those called independents who had grown both tired of the Bush way, and sick of the partisan fighting from 2005-2008, and heard the better way promised by Obama were in alarm mode and watching every move.

This put the brakes on Obama as he said he saw no way that Cap and Trade, or Immigration Reform could be addressed anytime soon. This provoked the critical progressive left to proclaim true reform was impossible since the system was rigged against them and a Obama was a conservative corporate shill.

In the meantime Obama abandons the missile shield promised to new NATO members, fails to get main NATO members to live up to their obligations in Afghanistan (which sounds horrifyingly like what happened to Athens from 450-410 BC), watches Turkey go over the hill to a very popular at home Islamism amid treaty, friendship and infatuation with Iran, and with Iran and Brazil fluting his main desire to do away with nuclear weapons. And in the midst of this, punishes our main middle east ally who won't kowtow to his EVERY want by leaving him the White House basement, causing Americans who happen to be Jewish to sit up and wonder what happened in that church pew over 20 years.

In the 'good war' he transmits an end date as the army reveals a lack of respect for him and those around him so deep his political opposition supports their dismissal. But he DOES continue the no cost drone war.

And suddenly with Greece, and Spain a microscope sits atop both the short term deficit and long term debt (some of which is not his fault, but is on the watch he sought), and the unsolvable unemployment, which some wonder aloud about ever solving given america's growing need to pay the interest, and the new doubts large businesses have about what Obama will try in the remainder of his term. They wonder, according to one of Obama main supporters, how much cash they might need to survive.

Then comes BP and his Katrinoid response.

Of a piece we find out the #3 job of NASA is to make muslims feel better. Does this mean that the number 2 job of Robert Gates is to ensure iron worker union members are happy in Duluth? Or that HHS ensures Sikhs enjoying their holidays in the Punjab?

And finally the New Black Panther's escape from justice, apparently from an inner belief at justice by political appointees that blacks cannot be racists, and therefore cannot intimidate anyone at the polls.

Besides Obama's sparkling personality what do we have?

He points to the Health Care Bill as a success. GM as a success. The lack of the end of the economic world as a success.
He points out a truck company making electric vehicles as a success, and then we find out they only survived with massive federal aid to produce a truck it takes 100% more operating costs than a diesel to keep on the road.

Will independent voters VOTE for this?

If they do we deserve what happens next

You got all that from the Fox News propaganda machine. And, the Jews control Fox. So, why should we believe you?
