Why Obama Wants America to Fail

"Not letting a good crisis go to waste."

This idea popped up multiple times in the past seven days as multiple members of Obama's administration seemed to be in total agreement. Their conclusion: by not quickly solving the crisis of the American economy, we can create drastic social and structural change. Not surprisingly, this is the path even President Obama alluded to in his Saturday address to the nation.

On Saturday the President challenged his country to see its hard times as a chance to "discover great opportunity in the midst of great crisis."

"That is what we can do and must do today. And I am absolutely confident that is what we will do," Obama said in his address.

But is that what "we the people" hired him to do? To use "great opportunities" to change the face and fabric of the nation?

"We the People" were promised swift and effective action towards getting the markets repaired by President Obama, but they have dropped about 1400 points each week since he's taken power. "We the People" were promised greater fiscal responsibility by candidate Obama, yet his own proposals throw us down a black hole of debt, the likes of which we've never seen in a single year of an administration, much less in the first sixty days of one. "We the People" were promised the greatest commitment ever to oversight of the federal use of the money we send the government. What we've been handed is a series of embarrassing nominations of people who are willing to use the force of a gun to make you pay your taxes, but did not think twice about not paying theirs. "We the People" were told that his push for a stimulus would get people working again, yet barely 3% of it goes to actual job creation and projects that can even be initiated in the next 24 months. "We the People" were promised greater employment fulfillment and more vibrant business and economic outlooks when Obama's administration finally put together their plan to save the lending institutions. What we are dealing with is a greater spike in the unemployment numbers in Obama's first sixty days than was experienced under President Bush in his first seven years. "We the People" were promised an earmark free, pork free, bare bones budget, but as of last count Obama's omnibus bill contained 9200 earmarks.

So I don't find it surprising that recently even Obama supporters are now openly questioning his plan to revive the economy.

As of last month, we know that more than 55% of the American people wanted help for the economy to come primarily through the reduction of taxes. The same poll found that only a little over 20% think more government spending was the answer.

Whoopi Goldberg surprised even herself on The View this week, unintentionally criticizing President Obama's plan to tax the American people into better economic conditions. She doesn't believe that she should have to turn around and write a check to Washington DC for nearly 40% of what she earns.

Who could blame her?

Yet it is important to point out that there are now far more economists on record that have advised the President against larger government and pushed him towards tax relief, than those who supported the increased centralized control of a soft socialism that President Obama seems destined to aim for.

And "We the People" should be asking ourselves why?

If it makes no sense to the free market economists that populate the best economics programs across the nation, if it weakens the ability for the average family to make ends meet, and if it does not increase the number of people actually working, why is President Obama so stubbornly continuing to pursue his economically diabolical plan of destruction?

Because it's part of the master plan to "not let a good crisis go to waste." Continued...

Thanks alot uninformed voters
Thank you very little for your votes for a socialist as a President. He will most certainly be labeled one of the worst presidents in the history of the United States if there is one after he is done with it. Next time read what the candidates stand for and compare it to those who founded this nation. Government has three jobs: Protect us militarily, deliver the mail and stay the hell out of the way!

Deceit, Distraction & Disinformation

“But in the end, Obama is NOT stating anything about redistributing wealth, even though... Joe the Plumber comment...make it sound that way.”

Response:

Sometimes, it takes a Democrat to understand a Democrat.

As a Conservative Democrat, I was there when the “The Peoples Party” was taken over in 1972 and . the Party's moral compass out the window.

Obama is only doing what the Chicago Machine taught him to do to get ahead in the modern Democratic Party (Lie, steel and cheat).

The evidence of these activities are on the Internet for everyone one to see. I mean come on, if the man was honest, he would produce his birth certificate (for starters).

When I read what Liberal Democrats say vs what they do, I just shake my head and so, don't be too hard on Shoes, he is just shuffling his feet to the Liberal beat.

Here are the Democrats in there own words and on videos:

The banking crisis was deliberately planned as a campaign strategy.
