U.S. Credit Rating Downgraded: Thank Obama And The Democratic Party For Their Mindless Spending

Democrats never think through anything. These idiots are still pounding the "spend more money" drum as if there was any money left. This will have an effect on our weak economy. But the real cost will come when the middle class Americans go and buy a car or house or anything on credit. When you can't afford to buy that new Ford because the payment is too high you know who to blame. And when Ford doesn't sell as many new vehicles remember who wanted to keep spending your money like their was no tomorrow. We gave into raising the debt and this is what happens. I'm sure the stock market and your 401k and pension will be hurting because of this news.


OBAMA CHANGE FOR THE WORSE!

We have only just started to pay for the policies of Obama and the Democratic party. This ride ain't over yet. Buckle up it's going to be a rough ride.

What Is the President Doing to Help the Economy Besides Going to Fundraisers?

TAPPER: Well, what is the president doing? We know that he went to a -- -- he went to fundraisers last night. What's he doing today?

CARNEY: Jake, that is --

TAPPER: What is he doing --

CARNEY: The president -- as the president has worked --

TAPPER: We hear him hectoring Congress about all the stuff that needs to be done to help create jobs --

CARNEY: That's right. And Congress --

TAPPER: -- and then he flew off to Chicago. What is he doing today?

CARNEY: The president is having meetings with his senior staff. The president has called on Congress to move quickly on things that have bipartisan support and are in Congress's lap, the trade --

TAPPER: The same stuff he was doing a couple months ago, calling on Congress to pass things.

CARNEY: Congress has the power to pass legislation that the president can sign. The actions that it can take could create more jobs right now, if it passed the patent reform, if it passed the free trade agreements. And as you know, there are other issues that the president encourages and will push hard for the Congress to take up when it returns from its recess, including extension of the payroll tax cut, which would put -- which has this year put an additional $1,000 in the pockets of every American, or typical American family. And he believes we need to do that again next year, because that assists those families in having them -- you know, giving them the ability to make ends meet, and puts money back into the economy, which in turn sustains businesses and creates jobs.  And he will continue to come up with and propose measures that we in Washington together can take to spur further economic growth and job creation.

TAPPER: Has he called Mitch McConnell? Has he called John Boehner? Has -- is he working on things that they can do? If every --

CARNEY: Jake, I don't -- I know you weren't here yesterday, but I know you were here for most of the days before that, when this president and those leaders and others worked seven days a week to avert a major economic crisis in this country that would have made –-

TAPPER: You’re the one always saying the president can walk and chew gum at the same time. I'm asking you --

CARNEY: Well, what are -- are you asking me what -- he is -- he is focused --

TAPPER: Other than calling on Congress to pass things you've been calling on Congress to pass for months, what is he doing to help the economy?

CARNEY: He is working very closely with his senior economic advisers to come up with new proposals to help advance growth and job creation. He is working with members of Congress to help advance growth and job creation. And he will continue to do that. There are things that Congress can do now to create jobs, and they should. There are things that Congress will be able to do when they return from recess to help create jobs and spur growth, and they should. And he looks forward to working with Congress to do that.

You've got to love it when the MSM wakes up to reality. Maybe someone will finally ask Obama what he meant by Change? At this point it has all been Change for the worse.

Carney had no answers.  Tapper was right when he said that it was the same thing he, obamaReppublicans, the Tea Party , thae lasck of bipartisonship, big buisness, oil, gas,  lack of a friendly eco system, the sun, the moon, and prbably even Fox and all right wing commentators.  Yes we have a President that is doing something but sure isn';t doing something that helps the country.

A little wallstreet birthday gift for you Mr. President. Hurry up and blow out your candles. There are still a few more sectors of the american country to destroy.

Obama and the Democratic Parties idea for jobs creation is to raise taxes on businesses. Let me ask you something. When we raised taxes on tabbaco products sales went down by 12%, right? If we raised taxes on imports it slows import growth. How could anyone in their right mind think that raising taxes would do anything other then slow jobs growth in this country?

No Excuses Obama’s Jobs Jibberish Isn’t Working

 

Talk is cheap...time to DO SOMETHING!

Obama doesn't give a-damn about anybodies job except those of the unions.

The government does not and can not create jobs...only the private sector can create jobsThe main stream media is doing everything they can to prop Obama and the Democratic Party up. It's like watching a comedy show watching them spin everything the President and Democrats do. The liberal economic theories aren't working. It's time we start looking at the facts of what the liberal agenda has done to our economy and the world economy. It's not just the Tea Partiers that are saying the Obama policies are dragging us down. World leaders are saying the same thing. We all know what Obama is doing to Boeing and now to the electric companies. This will not create jobs. If companies want to do business in this country who in their right mind would make it more difficult? Who in their right mind would make energy costs go up by closing coal mines? Does that help the manufacturing we have left? Is making energy and labor more expensive in this country going to keep jobs here? The policies aren't working. They have never worked anywhere but in the minds of liberal professors and liberal ideologues. More of the same will do nothing but break our economy faster. We are only seeing the tip of the iceberg on what the Obama liberal policies have done to this country. Our Campaigner and Chef has been community organizing our country to look like the inner city of Detroit. But he has no problem partying it up and collecting $35,800 checks from the "rich fat cats".

Business Fmr. Head of Gov’t Accountability Office: U.S. Less Than 3 Years Away From Being Greece

 

We are finding out that our economy is much worse then we thought it was---HOPE AND CHANGE---Everything is pointing to our economy getting much worse over the next few years. We have a choice to make we could do what Canada did and spend less with a conservative government or keep spending more like Greece did. Canada is doing great right now by following the conservative spend less plan. Greece on the other hand is dragging the rest of Europe down the drain.

This is what the former comptroller general — which heads the Government Accountability Office had some unsettling words regarding U.S. debt and the recent debt debate. According to him, the U.S. is on its way to becoming like Greece, whose debt problems have plummeted that country into economic hell.

“We are less than three years away from where Greece had its debt crisis as to where they were from debt to GDP,” David Walker told CNBC.

“We are not exempt from a debt crisis,” he added. “We’re never going to default, because we can print money. At the same point in time, we have serious interest rate risk, we have serious currency risk, we have serious inflation risk over time. If it happens, it will be sudden and it will be very painful.”
He also pointed out that credit agencies downgrading the U.S. are reactionary, meaning by the time one comes the damage may already be done.
CNBC has more from the interview:

As the ratio of its debt to gross national product eclipsed 100 percent and surged toward 150 percent, Greece has twice in the last two years nearly defaulted on its debt. Only successive bailout packages from the European Union and International Monetary Fund prevented catastrophe.
When tolling up all the US debts, including huge unfunded liabilities to Social Security and Medicare, the US is on dangerous ground, Walker said in a CNBC interview.
[...]
The US is nearing the 100 percent threshold which historically shaves about one percentage point off GDP, which was just 1.3 percent for the second quarter and 0.4 percent for the first quarter.
With the recent increase in the debt ceiling and continued higher budget deficits at the federal level, the US is on course for its own crisis, Walker said.

But that’s just the beginning. Just wait until you hear him put the new debt deal numbers into perspective (hint: it barely shaves any money off the country’s unfunded liabilities):

We are heading for hard times either way. But if we go the way of Canada it will all be worth it. We all know what spending like idiots does to the countries that have done it in history. If we don't get Obama out of office, then Greece it is.

Congress Did It! They Passed The Bill. Great Job Tea Party Conservatives

They did it! Americans wanted the Boehner plan that balances the budget even though the Democrats resisted fiscal responsibility. This whole time the Democrats put the whole thing on the Republican Party. The Democrats and President Obama never gave a viable responsible plan to cut, cap and balance our debt.

The thanks should go out to all of you Tea Party conservatives for telling the Republicans to hold the line. They did something that Democrats refused to do. They listened to the voters that want the budget balance and the mindless spending to stop. If it wasn't for you conservatives the Republican Party would have folded like they always have in the past. You conservatives worked hard and gave Congress a backbone.

Now the Democrats have to do something for a change. They can't just sit back and tare apart the work of those that are doing all the work. The Democrats and Obama have been doing nothing. But the ball is in their court now. If the Democrats don't pass this or the President veto's it, they will be blamed 100%. Now for the kicker. If the Democrats in the Senate and President Obama pass this bill they will lose their far left, "get out the vote" minion. Can you say win win for conservatives and our Party? The spot light is on those that have done nothing but bitch and complain about the only Party doing the work to save America.

All eyes are on the Democratic Party in the Senate and our impotent President. Let's see what happens when they are forced to lead this country. Will the Democratic Party and Obama screw over the American people or will they screw over their base of anarchist liberals?

Our job as conservative Tea Partyers isn't over yet. We must call our Senators and Obama to tell them what we want them to do. Put the pressure on the Democrats now. Make them listen to We the People. We wanted out deficit spending and mindless spending to stop. We wanted a balanced budget. Make sure the Democrats remember that we control them.




Great job Tea Party patriots. Congress couldn't have done it without you! Keep up the good work and call up the President and your Senator to tell them what you want them to do. Send out an email and tell your friends to call. One last surge and we will be on the right track to fixing our spending problem in Washington.

I'd like to know your thoughts on this. Your comments are what makes this blog so great.

America Is On Fire. So What Is Obama Doing Today?

While Republicans in Congress are trying to put together a deal to cut spending and raise the debt ceiling you may be wondering what Obama is doing today. Not only is he not working hard to end this spending crisis and raise our national debt, but he is busy raising our miles per gallon on our cars. This shows you how out of touch this guy is. He can't come up with a plan of his own other then talking about what he wouldn't sign. Could we have picked a bigger idiot then this guy to run our country? It's as if he doesn't give a shit about anything that effects everyone in this country. If he was a CEO of a company he would have been canned a long time ago. We need a leader now more then ever and all he and the Senate have done is stir the pot and run away. His actions and words show us all how little he truly cares about us and the economy.

 

Last night on C-Span a Democratic Party Congressman begged Congress to push this debt crisis past 2012 so that the next president can deal with it. He did say that he hopes it's Obama for 4 more years. But our debt and spending is just politics to the Democratic party. It is doing the easy thing to do nothing and keep spending like tomorrow will never come. Democrats know their time is limited and that the next guy will have to do the hard thing. And those same pussy Democrats will be all over those doing the hard work in the near future. We have see the cloth that these Democrats are cut from. We have seen that they are willing to screw the next generations so that they don't have to do the hard thing. Their spending has put us in this predicament and it is their lack of constitution and backbone that will harm this country in the future.

 

We will be dealing with this again if we don't do something now. I don't think screwing the next generation with our debt is the right thing to do. But the Democratic Party has no problem screwing them over and stealing their future for the mindless spending they have done. The future of this country doesn't look good thanks to the Democratic Party that has run this country into the ground faster then ever before in our history.

 

The country voted for a community agitator and that is just what we got. The Democrats have the WH, the Senate and half of the House and the Republicans are the only ones doing any work in Washington.
We conservatives told you that the Democrats would put us in this position and they have. So don't be suprised when it happens. The Obama budget puts us another $10 Trillion in debt over the next 10 years. Since he took office the national debt has gone from $10 trillion to $15 trillion and rising. Doesn't that make things worse?

Marxism Is Alive And Well In Detroit, Thanks To The Democratic Party And Unions

I just got this email from a friend of mine that is connected with the liberals and unions in Michigan. It amazes me that the unions and some in the Democratic Party would put on such an event. This is the full email. Bruce Fealk is one of the people that is sending out these emails to his Democratic Party and union friends.

Open Thread On The Debt Crisis

While liberals and the MSM are trying to say that the Norwegian murder is equivalent to the Muslims that have killed thousands of people in Sudan alone we are focused on what is happening in this country. If the left-wing of this country think that the Norwegian killer is equivalent to the travesties the Muslims have done in the name of Allah and the Qua ran I can't argue with that. As you can't argue with crazy. So while they have their turret like rants about that nonsense we will look at reality.

Appearing in Saudi papers on July 13, the fatwa complains that “Uninformed interference with Sharia rulings by the press and journalists is on the increase, posing dire consequences to society, including their interference with the question of marriage to small girls who have not reached maturity, and their demand that a minimum age be set for girls to marry.”

Fawzan insists that nowhere does Sharia set an age limit for marrying girls: like countless Muslim scholars before him, he relies on Koran 65:4, which discusses marriage to females who have not yet begun menstruating (i.e., are prepubescent)  and the fact that Muhammad, Islam’s role model, married Aishawhen she was 6-years-old, “consummating” the marriage—or, in modern parlance, raping her—when she was 9.

It turns out that liberals and the Qua ran have a lot in common.
Fawzan reportedly illustrates this point by quoting Ibn Batal’s authoritative religious text Sahih Bukhari:

The ulema [Islam’s interpreters] have agreed that it is permissible for fathers to marry off their small daughters, even if they are in the cradle.  But it is not permissible for their husbands to have sex with them unless they are capable of being placed beneath and bearing the weight of the men.  And their capability in this regard varies based on their nature and capacity.  Aisha was 6 when she married the prophet, but he had sex with her when she was 9 [i.e., when she was deemed capable].

Fawzan then  reportedly concludes his fatwa with the warning:

“It behooves those who call for setting a minimum age for marriage to fear Allah and not contradict his Sharia, or try to legislate things Allah did not permit.  For laws are Allah’s province; and legislation is his excusive right, to be shared by none other.  And among these are the rules governing marriage.”

FP reminds us that Fawzan is not the first Islamic leader to legitimize pedophilia in Islam and that the former grand mufti of Saudi Arabia himself also supported “child-marriage,” citing the Quran and Sunna as proof.
Needless to say many young girls are falling victim such rulings. FP relates the circumstances surrounding the horrific death of a 13 year old girl who was reportedly raped and killed by her husband:

Recall, for instance, the 13-year-old girl who died while her much older husband was copulating with her (it was later revealed that, due to her reluctance, he was tying her up and “raping” her—as if there is another way to describe sex with children); or the 12-year-old who died giving birth to a stillborn; or the 10-year-old who made headlines by hiding out from her 80-year-old “husband.”

But there are likely numerous other instances that go unreported as the victims’ fear bringing any attention that might result in further abuse, or even their murder.
Where are the human rights abuse investigations at times like these? You can't ague with crazy. So while the rest of us debate the real issue of our debt, the liberals can keep trying to prove their point that Christians are the problem and one murder is equivalent to what Muslims have done and the Qua ran says to do.

Where Is The Obama Spending Crisis Plan?

ED HENRY, FOX NEWS CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: …If you basically have this Boehner plan that you say can’t get through the Senate and you've got a Reid plan that the Republicans don’t think you can get through the Senate or the House and you’re saying we want a compromise, what was the point of giving a prime-time address to the nation without an Obama plan and say neither of these other plans can work? Where's his plan?

(CROSSTALK)

JAY CARNEY, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: I understand the idea that there is not an Obama plan is like point…

HENRY: But there’s not one on paper.

CARNEY: …point No. 1 on the talking points issued by the Republican Party. I get it.

(CROSSTALK)

HENRY: No, no, no. That’s not a talking point. Show us the plan. It’s not a talking point. That’s unfair. Where’s the plan?

CROSSTALK)

CARNEY: First of all, the president put forward in detail his principles at George Washington University…

(CROSSTALK)

HENRY: Principles. Right. That’s not a plan.

CARNEY: …quite a lot of detail. The president stood before you, I can’t remember if you were here Friday night, some of you  weren’t because you cut out early, but a lot of you were (GROANS FROM THE PRESS) and he put forward in detail with numbers what he’s willing to do. He then referred from the podium to the fact that White House officials would be briefing in detail.

Has the media begun to notice the wheels coming off at the White House? First, Politico notices that Obama still hasn’t offered any solutions despite the late hour of the fiscal crisis at hand. Last night, CNN’s Gloria Borger noticed that Obama seems out of the loop on the actual proposals floating around the Beltway, too. Obama tried to pump up support for tax increases, which makes him a chorus of … one:
Obama is the president now, not a community organizer. The president should have a plan that is written down. But instead he just keeps tearing apart Congresses plans.

Obama has done nothing but obstructed Congress from fixing the spending problem in Washington and Americans know it. I can't believe that the president took nothing to the American people but hot air and divisive rhetoric. But that is all he has is talk and talk is cheap. For some reason Obama thought that he could take nothing to the people but talk and expect them to rally behind him. It turns out that the American people did call Congress, but not in support of the Obama non-plan. The American public have been calling Congress to tell them to "stop spending" their money.

Polls are coming out that show that Obama has been losing his Democratic base in droves thanks to his lack of leadership and methods. Liberals know that Obama is screwing everything up. That is why they are trying to divert attention away from the President's buffoonery.

When it comes down to it the simpletons will always follow Obama no matter what he does. They will take the hook and jump in the boat. Those same simpletons will bark when Obama and his left-wing minion tell them to bark. But the fact is most Americans aren't buying his empty words and divisive rhetoric. Once the val has been lifted from the eyes of his ex-supporters he will never get them back. We have all seen salespeople that over sell and under deliver. You may like the salesperson and might even excuse them for a while. But at some point and time they better deliver what they promised and they better have a product to sell. The fact that this buffoon of a president took nothing to the people and ask them to buy nothing in exchange for a blank check is just ridiculous. He may think the American people are that dumb or that he is that charismatic but I know the American people aren't that dumb. And I know that the American people know how to spend their money better then these shlubs in Washington.

People were pissed at Bush for all his spending. Obama has taken mindless spending to new highs and the American people are done with that. STOP SPENDING OUR MONEY! Being president isn't hitting the lottory. Washington has put us into deeper debt and Obama wants to add another $10 Trillion dollars to that debt over the next 10 years. That is just crazy. Greece is failing and the Democratic Party wants to put us on the exact same track. Unless their idea of a good outcome is the destruction of America and our way of life then they are doing a fine job of it. Call Congress and tell them to stop spending now!
