Obama’s Fantasy World Comes Crashing Down

Liberals and Progressive have such naive and fanciful world views. For example, they think the military is filled with evil, violent prone, people who had no choice but to have a military career because their IQ’s aren’t so good. They believe their is more racism in the South than in the North. They believe having a business and creating jobs is corrupt and greedy. They believe government sits on the right hand side of Gaia, and that government run health care is the best humanity has ever offered!

And so it is any wonder President Obama, the one time community organizer, has a warped and fanciful view of his constitutional power? He really thinks the President can just order everyone to comply with his directions (not to mentions we should be grateful he is among us)! Take his petulance yesterday, as he realized he had to work with the co-equal branches of government:

President Barack Obama abruptly walked out of a stormy debt-limit meeting with congressional leaders Wednesday, a dramatic setback to the already shaky negotiations.

“Eric, don’t call my bluff,” the president said, warning Cantor that he would take his case “to the American people.” He told Cantor that no other president — not Ronald Reagan, the president said — would sit through such negotiations.

So, the President really is ‘bluffing’ when he claims raising taxes on small businesses (the engine of job growth) will help the economy. No surprise there. As I noted yesterday, Obama refuses to cut back the bloated federal government, and demands everyone else pay to save the incompetent and failed bureaucracy that brought us the 2008-2009 economic melt down in the first place.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told the House Small Business Committee on Wednesday that the Obama administration believes taxes on small business must increase so the administration does not have to “shrink the overall size of government programs.”

As I concluded yesterday, bring it on. Pass the short term bills in the Houseand force the Senate Dems to commit political suicide with their President, if they wish (and they won’t). The American people are not demanding, nor do they want, more taxes:

Obama is having a crisis of reality. He has never understood how economics work or appreciated the struggles and importance of business. He is an immature power broker who thinks just because the Democrats swooned at his ability to win the White House all of a sudden all his lack of understanding much of America suddenly transformed into ageless wisdom.

The arrogance is as tragic as it is pathetic.

The Senate Dems do not have enough far left members to hold any debt limit legislation the House passes. Once there is a reasonable path through this on the table, one with a bipartisan vote in the House as its launch point, the Dems in the Senate would be up against it to say “no – we must hurt the country and starve seniors to get our way“.

Pull the trigger on this nonsense. Pass the short term solution in the House and let the Democrats whine while the capitulate and Obama has to take all the heat or glory.

Addendum: A must read on the petulant elitism that President Obama has fallen back on as his grip on power collapses:

Obama: Well, let me distinguish between professional politicians and the public at large. The public is not paying close attention to the ins and outs of how a Treasury option goes. They shouldn’t. They’re worrying about their family; they’re worrying about their jobs; they’re worrying about their neighborhood. They’ve got a lot of other things on their plate. We’re paid to worry about it.

LOL! What a delusion! Yeah, we trust in the incompetents in DC to fix the decades of mistakes they produced that got us here in the first place? Look, it is time to put the political elite back in their place and once again subservient to the wishes of We The People. If Obama continues to not listen, then the backlash could reach impeachable levels. People are really, really frustrated. If that anger and fear bursts out and lands on his back as the target of all this he is done. He is already seriously damaged, but he has not come close to hitting bottom yet.

Though he is heading in that direction at full speed.

    in Minnesota, Dayton just caved in to the GOP Legislature in a very similar budget standoff.

    Dayton did? Wow, that’s great news!

    Hopefully, we’ll get more wonderful news from WI recall elections.

    And finally, for Obama to capitulate to the GOP. GOP…hang in there…we’ll back you up as long as you do.

    GOP – wise move to force Obama to spell out the details on how he wants to balance the budget.

    I see that Obama offered to continue the debt meetings at Camp David, which Boehner declined. Boehner doesn’t see the need to continue meetings over the weekend. I don’t blame him. I stand behind Boehner on this one.

    Ya think Obama and the Dems will capitulate on this one next week?
