Obama Fails to Snooker the Republicans and Loses the Debate
Republican
lawmakers thought they were going to a negotiation last Friday on the $700 billion
bailout. Instead, they discovered that the democrats had already put together
a "deal" and just planned to push it through with their approval.
Included
in the democrats' scheme was a huge chunk of the money to go to the organization
called ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) in which
Obama has deep ties. ACORN was caught registering illegal aliens among other illegal
activities.
Also, the democrats, who caused the economic melt-down in the first
place, were trying to give money to the people who had looted Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac. If you'll recall, Obama took the second highest amount of money from those
institutions. Democrat Chris Dodd was the number one money grubber. Don't forget
that Obama's economic advisor is Franklin Raines. Raines is the former CEO of
Fannie Mae who took $90 million. Another one of Obama's advisors is Jim Johnson,
the disgraced former chairman of Fannie Mae.
So, Obama, who was trying to distance
himself from the economic scandal he and his buddies caused was stunned when John
McCain suspended his campaign last week to go to Washington and work on solving
the crisis. Obama was then forced to go to Washington to help with the cover-up.
President
Bush, who relied on his Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, was trying to put the
issue to rest much like his father's appeasement of the democrats that had caused
him to sign their tax increases. Surrounded by democrats Nancy Pelosi and Harry
Reid, Bush allowed the democrats to present their bailout plan. All of the senior
democrats passed allowing Obama to lead. Within moments of Obama opening his ignorant
mouth, the meeting fell apart into a shouting match.
Paulson requested everyone
in the room to remain silent about what had occurred. However, the democrats couldn't
resist blaming McCain and said that McCain was of no assistance as he hadn't said
anything in the meeting. That was true, but it was also the democrats' first mistake.
The
democrats later tried to blame McCain, saying the meeting fell apart because of
McCain. However, this made no sense, because McCain had merely observed the debacle.
Slowly, the truth came out that there had been no deal. The Republican leaders
had never even been consulted about the proposed plan. Then, the fact that it
was Obama's ignorance that caused the meeting to completely collapse was revealed.
Obama,
who calls himself the "great unifier" had no clue what the plan details
were, other than he knew his friends were going to get a chunk of $700 billion
of taxpayer money without any oversight.
The really interesting question is
why the dog and pony show? The democrats have a majority in both houses and could
pass this bill without any support from the Republicans. The main reason is that
the plan is so bad and gives the liberals close to a trillion dollars without
any oversight; they want the Republicans to have their fingerprints on it, too.
The reason they made such a big show of it was to showcase Obama as a leader.
They forgot the critical part that Obama is not a leader and can't even pretend
to be one.
The debate that followed Saturday was the icing on the proverbial
cake. Obama was shown to be clueless on foreign matters, except that he was able
to pronounce the word "Pakistan" as if he were a Pakistani. This irritated
many who watched his performance. McCain picked Obama apart methodically. Obama
didn't even know the difference between a tactic and a strategy.
Obama lied
frequently. At one point he said that former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger
agreed that Obama should sit down without preconditions and hold talks with Iran's
head lunatic Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. McCain said that he had known Kissinger for
35 years and that Kissinger would never had said that. Interviewed after the debate,
Kissinger said McCain was right and Obama had lied.
On economics, Obama claimed
that he was going to give a tax cut to 95% of the taxpayers. He said that anyone
making over $250,000 a year would get taxed. Unfortunately, Obama failed to explain
that small business are taxed at individual rates and that these businesses would
be taxed out of business and the result would be higher unemployment.
So, in
just two days the world was able to see Obama fail to lead a meeting, lose a debate
and lie through his teeth. It will take a while for the truth to soak into the
polls, but it will. By this Friday, the polls will reflect Joe Biden's loss to
Sarah Palin in their debate.
