Welcome to the Party Mr. President

[deacon blues]

Kicking and screaming our president has finally produced a budget. When he had a completely controlled Congress, he couldn't manage to produce one. It was an election year. The natural desire of a liberal and most Democrats is to increase spending and raise taxes. They also know that most Americans would not receive that kind of governance well especially in an election year so they did nothing. A whole year passed by until something got done, but not because our president initiated it.

BO is leading from the rear. He waits to see what everyone else does, he checks the polls and then he responds, after the fact. We are on the cusp of a debt crisis and Mr. Obama produced a budget for fiscal year 2011 (a year late) that would've cut a paltry $6 billion. As John Boehner led the way and the House GOP, the final number was still a measely $38.5 billion with the deficit still at over $1 trillion.

Now Paul Ryan of Wisconsin is leading the way on a 2012 budget that is courageous enough to tackle the drivers of our debt: entitlements. Its a lie to say the GOP wants to completely destroy these programs. They have to be reformed or they will ruin our economy irrepairably. The best the Democrats can come up with is Harry Reid stating that Social Security would be fine for many more years. Yes, Harry, let's just pawn that responsibility off on the next generation after you are long gone. Pathetic. How did that weasle become the leader of anything let alone get elected to multiple terms?

Then there's Mr. Obama's budget proposal. Amazing. Something he couldn't produce all of 2010, *poof* he magically produces one in 2011! Welcome to the party!

What is incredible is this: Obama would run huge deficits from now to eternity. The Congressional Budget Office has projected $12.2 trillion of ADDED DEBT from 2010 to 2021 under his policies. Obama urges an "adult" conversation and acts like a child. He wants to eat cotton candy endlessly and wants to ignore his need for spinach.

Honestly, I can understand why conspiracy theorists believe that the man truly wants to destroy America. I don't. I think its blithe ignorance. He doesn't know what he's doing. He is an ideologue who was brainwashed by a hippy mother, liberal universities, radical friends and ministers and he really believes that the more government spends, the greater economic activity will ensue. He ignores history (probably because he hasn't really studied it) and common sense that no one, not even the US government, can spend themselves into prosperity.

Glad he made it to the party. He's just a little late and the food is nearly gone, the cake's been cut and the ice cream is melted. But hey, at least he brought a plate of government cheese.

I will not vote for any incumbent. We need to take our government back, and quit letting politicians run our country.

Another well written piece.

Perfectly said. This ought to be required reading for the masses....I saw a poll yesterday that a majority are giving Obama the credit for the deal that was reached. I just wanted to cry...how can people stay that ill-informed?

Only politicans run for election. Who ever wins will be a politician and at the next election they will also be an incumbent.

Typical liberal response, can't find a thing wrong with his acutal facts on Obama's ill performance in office, so you pick out a description of his mother. No doubt, it was meant to describe her thought process and how she taught her son.

Ryan's Plan .......

Ryan wrote. "It maintains a revenue-neutral approach by clearing out a burdensome tangle of deductions and loopholes that distort economic activity and leave some corporations paying no income taxes at all." 

"Paul Ryan made clear that the Republican budget will protect Big Oil companies subsidies over seniors health care," Jesse Ferguson, spokesman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said in a statement over the weekend. "It's already becoming clear who will be the priority in the House Republican budget -- special interests, not middle-class families."
