So even reporters are having trouble comprehending how absolutely impotent Obama’s budget is about the deficit. Yet Obama is still trying to convince the last few morons who take him seriously that he’s making big cuts or something. Here’s what he claimed: “To use an analogy that families are familiar with, we’re not going to be running up the credit card anymore.”
Dude, your budget is proposing 7.2 trillion in new debt over the next ten years; you obviously aren’t going to be running up the credit card because Discover ain’t touching that. And you think that is being fiscally responsible? This is not just at a level of not understanding economics; this is looking at a dollar bill and saying, “What in the world is that?”
And then Obama said this about budget cuts: “Let’s use a scalpel; let’s not use a machete.”
A SCALPEL?!! Do you see this massive jungle of debt growing outside choking everything? And you want to prick at that with a scalpel? Heck, even a machete is barely going to put a dent it. We need to agent orange that sucker. And that’s just to keep things from getting to the level where we need to nuke it from orbit.
Obama is later going to try to raise taxes. Obviously, it’s not to help reduce the deficit because there is no credible evidence he cares about such a thing. It will just be because of some weird fetish he has about confiscating other people’s money.
So it’s up to Republicans to save the country — which sucks, but that’s the way it is — and it’s up to Obama to be the enemy to that screaming about hurting seniors and poor people to try and get reelected because of how much we need his non-leadership for another four years. I’m not saying Obama is anti-American; I’m just saying if you’re pro-American, that’s going to require being very anti-Obama. Good luck to both America’s well-being and Obama’s political future — may the best one win.
Ummm, did this one get posted in the wrong order, or just get lost behind the big ol’ Harvey post?
Time machine, Dohtimes. Frank went back and posted this yesterday.
When Obama talks about a scalpel, all I can think of is him nicking an artery. When an artery is nicked, the life blood doesn’t flow out; it is madly pumped out until the patient is soon dead.
Wait..
You mean…
No…
It can’t be…
It just can’t be…
Obama only cares about his own political power and gaining more of it?
NO!
Is it time yet to take the Egyptian approach to government reform?
I say we take of and Nuke the entire Budget from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Have machete, will travel. Wire Paladin…San Francisco.
O-bah-muhh/Dim-O-cRats don’t want to raise taxes, they just want to eliminate tax deductions, and increase ‘fees’.
@zzyzx: Dontcha think that Christie is the only man in the hunt who vaguely resembles Paladin? I miss that show (theme). He was the original Equalizer.
Nobama said to use a scalpel on the economy not a machete. Lets put this clearly. Nobama planted a massive lawn. He along with every other politician have spent the last 2 1/2 years feeding it Miracle Grow. Now we can’t see our house and the kids are lost in the front yard. His wants to use a scalpel to fix it. Mind you everyone is still feeding the lawn Miracle Grow. It is still growing exponentially. In fact it has grown as much in the last 2 1/2 years as it did in the 200 years before it. What we need is to put down the fertilizer & step back. We are beyond a scalpel. Heck, we are beyond a machete. What we need is one of those huge industrial mowers.
Son of Bob, when that times comes we should use the General James Mattoon Scott approach to government reform.
Deep in the Amazon jungle a group of lost explorers look to their guide.
Explorer 1: “You kept leading us deeper and deeper into the jungle. We should have turned back long ago but you kept saying you saw a way out. Now we can’t even see sunlight!’
Obama: “Don’t worry. I plan on cutting our way out of here…with a scalpel.
Not even rainforest clear-cutting would be enough to get through the jungle odumbo has created. We need a MOAB sized napalm bomb.
Scalpel? Machete? To the surgeon who just worked on me, hopefully either would do the same to me as it needs to be done to bHo’s budget.
I suggest Caterpillar Earth Moving Equipment.
It might help bring back some of those jobs tha Porkulus was supposed to save.
Yes, it’s way past machete time. It’s chain saw time!
*The media wouldn’t even let a Clinton get away with this level of ridiculousness.
*Would Democrats be ok if say over the weekend we just replaced Obama with Bill Clinton and everyone just pretended nothing happened for the next 2 years? This crap is out of control I am seriously willing to compromise that far out just to stop the ship sinking.
*Who the @#$@@ is still loaning this guy money?
*Obama is not a socialist, even the openly socialist governments of Europe have been cutting government over the last few years.
I look forward to his next book
*The Austerity of Hope
Machete don’t text, either!!! Except when Machete texted, he was improvising!!!
I think it’s time to skip the machete and go for the chainsaw.
Need a double bitted axe that way we can cut on the back swing not just the down strokes.
I have a razor-sharp scythe we could use. Once you get into a rhythm with it, you can
harvestcut bushel after bushel of Federal waste.We needed someone in Congress to receive the official budget submission, flip through it, and scream, “ARE YOU F*$(#&%G NUTS??”
Really, why hasn’t someone done this? I don’t understand. I can’t think of any other reaction to Obumbles’s budget. And, to claim he makes”hard choices” in it? Where? That is even more nuts. Why are there no Republicans screaming and throwing things in the aisles of the Capitol when the Obumbles budget is mentioned? If there was ever an excuse for a complete loss of decorum, this is it.
