This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer.
Will Rogers (1879 - 1935)
Nazi Nancy Pelosi said That the failed Republican policies of George Bush drove the USA into the recession and financial meltdown of 2008. All during 2009 and 2010 she praised Obama nonstop for his relentless efforts to attain his legacy with the takeover of the health care industry by him and his fellow socialists. Obama, Biden, Pelosi and their comrades need to be reminded that Bush inherited a great big mess from Slick Willie Clinton. One country offered to turn over Osama bin Laden to The USA for his attacks on U.S. embassies during his administration. He refused the offer, wanting the Saudis to take custody of Bin Laden. One of my worst "what if" scenarios is what if the Supreme Court did not uphold Bush's election in 2000 and Al Gore was president when The September 11 attacks occurred. I doubt Gore would have responded half as quickly and effectively as Bush did.
Also, the Bush Administration tried to rein in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac but the House Financial Services Committee stonewalled his efforts to protect their 2 cash cows. Click here and here to view my earlier posts on this subject.
Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.

DemagoguesDemocrats are obsessive about accusing Republicans of being heartless and cruel to anyone besides the rich. Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Fla.) displayed a Democratic flaw, the dreaded LGCA (little gray cell anemia) on Fox And Friends with Gretchen Carlson. Ms. Carlson said the unemployment has increased since Obama took office. Ms. Wasserman Schultz told Ms. Carlson that the unemployment rate has not gone up since Obama became president and is going down. Ms. Carlson realized that the DNC Chairwoman was fact-impaired and tried to help her out by using a simple yes or no question, Has the unemployment rate gone up since Obama took office? Wasserman Schultz gave a very vague and evasive answer that unemployment was nearing the rate it was at when Obama took office. Here is the unemployment rate monthly since Obama took office.

Here's a video of Ms. Wasserman Schultz's misstatement of facts.
President Obama forgot (OOOOPPPPSSSS!!!) to mention GOD in his thanksgiving speech to the USA. Well, so what, when you consider the abuse he had to take from his 20 year pastor Jeremy Wright, maybe it was not so bad. WRONG!!! IF you want to lead a nation with the religious traditions of the USA you need to mention GOD in your speeches.
Occupy Chicago had a teach-in recently that was disrupted by Chicago Board of Trade employees. The CBOT employees dropped McDonald's employment applications of the teach-in participants. I personally found it very offensive. The politically correct thing to do would be to mix in applications for Wendy's, Pizza Hut, K-Mart and others. Interesting fact. One in eight Americans has been a McDonald's employee at one point in their lives.
On November 16, 2011, the patriotic millionaires for fiscal strength petitioned the super committee to raise the marginal tax rate on everyone earning one million dollars or more to 39.5 percent. Too bad none of them brought their checkbooks. I guess they plan to mail in their contributions to boost the bottom line of the USPS.
Here is a few words of sage advice for Barack "middle class warrior" Obama. Stop demagoguing the rich. Who do you think is funding your campaign? If you think you are the advocate of the lower and middle classes, Do your campaign dinners at $1000.00 a plate and up take the food stamp card for payment?? No, there's a good reason for that. All lower class income and most all middle class income people cannot afford such outrageous prices, no matter how much they support you. Please note that Mr. Johnson is only one of three millionaire democratic contributors to be interviewed for this video segment.
