Obama: Germane and Genuine?

Obama met with GOP leaders today in Baltimore.

We will spare the details. Follow the link above for more of the story.

 Its MOTS - more of the same, different place,  different time.  I watched some of the show.  Lots of I's and me's by the President.  He loves a forum - loves the limelight,  me, me, me.

I am not buying any of it.  This was part of a grand plan  to do more (damage control - via Massachusetts and the Scott Brown win.

He needs to learn that a little trust will go a long way.  His WH needs to learn this also. 

Time will tell if this reach out will work, and have any value.

Obama: State of the Union

Hang on to your hats.

This address should be very special. Watch him use the words, I and me.

I predict you will hear "new and distorted" numbers and statistics that no one but Obama and his WH knows about.

Lets hope its not as bad as Valerie Jarrettes' thousands of jobs remark.  And Robert Gibb's 1.5 jobs created remark.  And David Axelrod's 2 million job remark.


Just watch.  It will be utterly amazing.  Your head will be spinning when Obama starts his spin and is done with the lies. We might not hear "You Lie" - but plenty will be thinking of it.

He is going to make everything look great -  and he will diminish  the problems as if they did not hardly exist.

He will probably outline his new select government spending freeze.  And how he going to help the middle class -
(to hell with everyone else).  This will be more of his nonsense.

Keep track of the lies, distortions. You will see lots of smoke and mirrors. He is the master, he will mystify - some, but not all.

Watch for all the phony smiles from his corrupt buddies, like Pelosi,  Dood,  Reid, and others,  you know the list.
This will be fun. 


I am planning to watch this spectacle, I only hope I can sleep after he is finished with his speech.  I just know I am going to have a headache.  So I will just take a few ibuprofen  before he starts.

Obama: Worst than Jimmy Carter.

Another day in paradise.

Obama and his pathetic White House have made more mistakes in one year than Carter made in four years as President.  They are hopeless.

This President does not know what he is doing. He makes changes as he goes along.  This is what happens when you do not know what you are doing,  when you are weak, when you do not have a clue.


He is radioactive,  everything he touches  turns to crap.  So do not go near him.

Sunday he went to Boston, to campaign  and ensure a win for  Martha Coakley from defeat in a special Senate race for Ted Kennedy's seat.   Scott Brown won.  Another Obama failure.

Obamacare and health care reform is all but dead.  Obama failure again.

Now Obama wants to tax big banks.  He wants reforms and legislation so they will never become to big fail. 
His proposal would prevent firms with banks from investing in hedge funds, doing proprietary trading.

Another reform would bar large banks from using their own funds to trade financial instruments in the hope of making big profits for their own accounts. They would also be barred from owning hedge funds or private-equity funds.

This will turn out to be another Obama transfer tax. He will take the money from the banks - give it to the Treasury of other unworthy parties, and then the banks will get their money back from us.

So what did he solve?  Is this reform going to create more  jobs?  Or will we lose more jobs?

Commentator David Frum outlines his viewpoint>

"The president has endorsed a tax on banks by size to collect a projected $90 billion over the next 10 years. The president argues that the tax will help repay taxpayer losses in the TARP bailout program for banks.

It's a crummy argument. Most of the TARP losses will be racked up not at banks, but at the AIG insurance company and the rescued automakers, GM and Chrysler. No tax for them."

Here is what Mr. Tough Guy - Obama said............

Obama seemed to welcome the industry’s opposition. “If these folks want a fight, it’s a fight I’m willing to have,” the president said. He also criticized the “soaring profits and obscene bonuses,” at financial firms that say they are still unable to make loans to American businesses. He warned the financial industry to “work with us and not against us.”

After Obama made his announcement, surrounded by Paul Volker, et al.  He leaves quickly. Never takes questions.

Why?  Because he does not want any heat.  Its like a drive by shooting. Shoot and run.  Say what you have too,  then leave quickly.  He is so weak.

This president talks about transparency - where is it? 

Obama is mad because a lot of what he does fails. Instead of showing a little humility,  in light of all the problems this country has,  he is going to get tough, wants to play "Hardball".  

Well keep it up. And you see how the voters play hardball at the polls.  Obama did not learn anything from Massachusetts.

Again, as usual, his initiatives do not solve problems, they create  problems, and in the end he makes things worst.

 

That's what Jimmy Carter use to do.   Makes things worst.

 

That's what Obama does.  He makes things worst.

Obama ship is listing, ready to sink

Last night many witnessed the stunning Scott  Brown's victory, beating Attorney General Martha Coakley for the Senate seat held by Ted Kennedy.  The  defeat of a  Massachusetts Democrat,  should open Obama's eyes,  the White House and the rest of democrats how very badly things can go.

Many have criticized Martha Coakley for being lax and not really trying to win the election, she went on vacation, December 19 to January 6, with no campaigning.

Many think that this election would surely be won by a Democrat,  but it did not work this time.  This is what happens when you are too sure of yourself, to lazy to fight for all votes and maybe you do not belong in this election race  in first place.

On Sunday last. Obama flew to Boston, to campaign for Martha Coakley, as he did in New Jersey to support Jon Corzine for his governor race. It did not work.

Obama mocked Brown and his pick up truck.  Obama saying "you might not want to get  in that truck with Martha's opponent, it might not take you where you want to go."

This is typical Obama rhetoric.  Obama is in trouble now, because many people "do not want to ride with Obama" . They have seen his lies, half truths, distortions, and they are sick of it.


There are some similar  issues concerning the politics of  Obama  and Coakley.

Both were too sure of themselves.
Both were counting on history,  rather than reality.  Democrats would win this race.
In the beginning, Obama just gave the Senate and House a nibble on heath care, never was clear or had enough transparency.  The the Senate bill failed, had to be rewritten, full of deals, bribes and closed door corruption. Obama, Harry Reid and others, just compounded to the problems of a terrible health care bill.

Obama should have seen this coming.  But he was like Coakley,  she thought a Democrat would surely win the Senate seat held by Kennedy for nearly 47 years.   WRONG.

Obama thought because of his charm, rhetoric, and the arrogant Democratic majority, that heath care would surely pass.
Well it might, but not yet.

Obama, his weak White House, and the Democrats have a lot to worry about.

They may get a health care bill for  Obama to sign by his state of the nation speech.   But they will get little else.  They have a lot of damage control work to do.

There will more damage, in the 2010, mid term elections in November.

That's when the ship will really begin to sink for Obama.

President Obama to do a drive by in Massachusetts to save Martha Coakley and shoot the Republicans

 Fox News Reports:

 President Obama is headed to Massachusetts Sunday to campaign for Democrat Martha Coakley, whose race against Republican Scott Brown has narrowed to a toss-up as voters zero in on the cost of a massive health insurance bill in Congress.

If some of Obama's  campaign speech for Martha Coakley are televised - do yourself a favor.

Count the number times he will tell lies, distort the truth, about Coakley and health care.
