From AP:
"WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama signed an order Thursday unilaterally creating a bipartisan commission to rein in unruly deficits after Congress rejected a similar body with considerably more enforcement power.In making the announcement, Obama said that unless lawmakers put aside partisan differences, the continuing red-ink trend could "hobble our economy."
Excuse me, Mr. President, but it occurs to me that the "red-ink trend" was created primarily by you and your minions in Congress. All you have done since your inauguration is spend, spend, spend. Now that there is no money left to spend, you are suddenly fiscally conservative? Who are you trying to kid?
Here is what is REALLY going on:
The liberal administration and Congress has purposely bankrupted us in an effort to force a more socialist state upon us. Once broke, this "commission" will undoubtedly determine that the only "cure" is much higher taxes - probably the Value Added Tax the Dems have been wanting for decades. And there you have the foundation of a socialist state.
Obama, Pelosi and Reid still have a lot of less educated and lesser informed people fooled, but more are catching on every day, and if there is a Democrat left standing in November it will be a rarity. I just hope it's not too late to stop the "suicide train".
Meanwhile, also from AP:
"WASHINGTON – The White House and congressional leaders are preparing a detailed health care proposal designed to win passage without Republican support if GOP lawmakers fail to embrace bipartisan compromises at President Barack Obama's summit next week.A senior White House official said Thursday that Democratic negotiators are resolving final differences in House and Senate health bills that passed last year with virtually no Republican help. The White House plans to post the proposals online by Monday morning, three days ahead of the Feb. 25 summit, which GOP leaders are approaching warily."
In other words, the Dems are standing by their wacky definition of "bipartisan", which is defined by them as "we will write the bill without any input from you, and YOU just sit down, shut up and vote for it." By posting their bill online 3 days in advance, they are trying to strong-arm republicans into coming to the circus with tails between their legs. Ah-h-h, bipartisanship!
Here's how this is going down - the Dems, as noted above, wrote the entire bill. On February 25, Obama wants to meet with Republicans in a phony attempt at "bipartisanship". The Republicans will be told, "This is the bill. It already has our "compromises" (which the Republicans also had no say in), and "now we want you to vote for it, or we will call you obstructionists."
The democrats have no intention of seeking bipartisanship - they simply want an excuse to color Republicans as the "party of 'no' " so they can proceed to bully their bill through without any real compromise. It's called "stacking the deck", or "dealing off the bottom." In any other profession it would land Obama, Pelosi and Reid behind bars.Can anyone say, "Chicago Mob Tactics?"
Any sane person will realize that it is the Democrats that are the obstructionists by not allowing a true bipartisan bill. Under bipartisanship, no bill is presented. Instead, BOTH sides contribute to creating a bill BOTH sides can support, then BOTH sides vote for it.
But that does not happen in the Obama-Reid-Pelosi triumverate of unconscionable governance.
