Do I Want Obama to Fail? Now More Than Ever!

If this is what Barack Obama views as success, I’d hate to see his failure.

Wait a minute … Could it be that Obama is deliberately seeing to America’s failure?

After being in Las Vegas where he was raising campaign funds for the already-kneedeep-in-bucks Harry Reid, President Golden Calf headed to Hollywood, California. At the Beverly Hills Hilton he told a crowd of fawning and swooning celebrities:

When you look at the economy right now, I think it’s safe to say that we have stepped back from the brink, that there is some calm that didn't exist before.

To the orgasmic crowd, Obama added:

Take heart of the change we’ve already brought but I want you to know, Los Angeles, you ain’t seen nothing yet. We’re going to deal with these issues. We are going to bring back a better America.

Anyone with a functioning brain should consider the first statement utterly laughable, the second utterly bone-chilling.

It took none other than El Rushbo to report on the real state of the economy. (No, libs, he wasn’t “making up” anything; he cites actual news reports from around the country. So nice try.). Here he is on yesterday’s (5/28) show:

… How can the economy said to be back from the brink, folks, when the market tanked 200 points yesterday? And how about these two stories, back-to-back, after the president says the economy is back from the brink?

“One of eight US households with a mortgage ended the first quarter late on loan payments or in the foreclosure process in a crisis that will persist for at least another year until unemployment peaks, the Mortgage Bankers Association said on Thursday. US unemployment in April reached its highest rate in more than a quarter century and is still rising, helping propel mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures to record highs.”

The economy is back from the brink? […]

“A record 12% of homeowners with a mortgage are behind on their payments or in foreclosure as the housing crisis spreads to borrowers with good credit. And the wave of foreclosures isn’t expected to crest until the end of next year,” the Mortgage Bankers Association said Thursday. “The foreclosure rate on prime fixed-rate loans doubled in the last year, and now represents the largest share of new foreclosures. Nearly 6% of fixed-rate mortgages to borrowers with good credit were in the foreclosure process. At the same time, almost half of all adjustable-rate loans made to borrowers with shaky credit were past due or in foreclosure. The worst of the trouble continues to be centered in California, Nevada, Arizona and Florida, which accounted for 46 percent of new foreclosures in the country. There were no signs of improvement.”

Whoa, whoa no, no, no, no, because the president told rich Hollywood donors last night that the economy is back from the brink, and that we ain’t seen nothing yet. […]

“President Barack Obama’s recent loan modification and refinancing plan might stem some foreclosures, but not enough to significantly alter the crisis,”

says AP. President Obama’s recent loan modification and refinancing plan—there’s a website that you can go and you can apply, maybe have your mortgage taken care of and not get foreclosed. It isn’t working.

The automobile bailouts did not work.
The bailout of the banks has not worked.
The bailout of the mortgage industry has not worked.
Stemming foreclosures has not worked.

The economy is not back from the brink. None of it has worked. All of the political fixes have not worked. The sad reality is that when they don’t work, it is good news for President Obama. It’s more chaos. It is the need, he thinks, that people will have for even more government intervention and more tax increases and an ever growing government to fix the problems. He feeds off the crisis. He feeds off the chaos. At the same time he mysteriously gets accolades and credit for trying to fix the problem. …

Can we all agree the economy is not back from the brink? Can we all agree the economy is getting worse? Unemployment in April, a 25-year high.

… [SF Chronicle] running a story here on the good things happening as a result of the economic downturn. And you know what one of them is? With fewer people working, it means there are fewer people on the roads, fewer people going to work, which means there’s less traffic. Shazam! A smaller carbon footprint and easier commutes. So we’re supposed to be happy that how many millions of our fellow citizens are out of work collecting unemployment, not on the roads, not creating traffic jams.

But the economy is back from the brink, President Obama told Hollywood lefties last night.

Well, the Hollywood economy is not doing that great, gangbusters, either. There are very few sectors out there doing well. The EIB Network is doing well, but there aren’t that many sectors. There’s no GDP growth. GDP is negative growth and hasn’t turned around. Back from the brink? This is just more smoke and mirrors. He says it, must be true, he’s The Messiah. Facts on the ground say otherwise.

So there’s Barack Obama. He’s in Los Angeles, which is in one state. It’s in California, a state that is what? Tanking! A state that is falling apart; a state that may need to be bailed out; a state that is near bankrupt and he’s telling people in that state they ain’t seen nothing yet? If I’m in that state, I head for Idaho or somewhere. I’d be running for the hills. I’d have all my cash and I’d grab my gun and I would get out of there.

They ain’t seen nothing yet?

Here’s that story I was referring to earlier. It’s in USA Today:

“States hit hardest by the recession received only a few of the government’s first stimulus contracts, even though the glut of new federal spending was meant to target places where the economic pain has been particularly severe. Nationwide, federal agencies have awarded nearly $4 billion in contracts to help jump-start the economy since President Obama signed the massive stimulus package in February. But, with few exceptions, that money has not reached states where the unemployment rate is highest, according to a USA Today review of contracts disclosed through the Federal Procurement Data System. In Michigan, for example—where years of economic tumult and a collapsing domestic auto industry have produced the nation’s worst unemployment rate—federal agencies have spent about $2 million on stimulus contracts, or 21 cents per person. In Oregon, where unemployment is almost as high, they have spent $2.12 per capita, far less than the nationwide average of nearly $13.”

But the economy is coming back from the brink!

The stimulus bill, by USA Today’s own measurement, isn’t working. In fact, it may be hurting. We get nothing but lies from this administration. We get nothing but empty promises that sound wonderful but are empty. […]

[F]rom the Sacramento Bee:

“The steady increase of mentally ill residents in California—” where they ain’t seen nothing yet, “—combined with Sacramento County’s budget woes forced the county’s main psychiatric hospital late Friday to close its doors to new patients … The doors remained closed through Tuesday—and might stay closed for several more days, officials said, until its caseload falls. Officials said the scene could repeat itself throughout the year as local and state funding continue their decline. The situation, officials and advocates say, suggests the state is at the brink of a mental health catastrophe.”

Yeah, I’d say so!

But they ain’t seen nothing yet, Barack Obama [said] last night in Hollywood.

Soon after this monologue, an angered but hardly surprised Rush concludes: With socialism you eventually run out of other people’s money.

This is why Rush calls himself “America’s real anchorman.”

Like some other pundits, I am thorough convinced that Barack Obama’s goal is to make this country crash miserably, so that millions of Americans who have lost their jobs and lost their homes and lost their investments will have no choice but to come to Nanny government (a.k.a. President Hope&Change himself) to take care of them.

That’s how you create a nation of dependent little socialists who will vote Democrat ‘til the day they die.

If Barack Obama succeeds, the country fails. That was Rush Limbaugh’s message during that whole “I hope Obama fails” non-scandal scandal.

Do I want Barack Obama to fail? Now more than ever!

Andy Roman at the Roman Around blog agrees, reprinting a January post that pretty much sums it up pretty well:

1. If President Barack Obama is resolute on reversing Bush administration measures that have served to keep this country safe from attack for over seven years, I want him to fail.

2. If the President believes that enemy combatants captured on the field of battle are due the same Constitutional rights as American citizens, I want him to fail.

3. If the President believes that “direct diplomacy” with despotic leaders of murderous regimes is the best way to keep America strong, I want him to fail.

4. If the President is willing to trod upon one of the fundamental rights enumerated in the Declaration of Independence – namely, the right to life – with his illimitable support of abortion, I want him to fail.

5. If the President believes that taxpayer dollars should be used to fund abortions, I want him to fail.

6. If the President wishes to use taxpayer dollars to fund embryonic stem cell research, I want him to fail.

7. If the President wishes to appoint judges to the Supreme Court who view the Constitution as a document that breathes and bends with time, I want him to fail.

8. If the President wants to infringe on my Constitutional right as a law abiding American to own a firearm, I want him to fail.

9. If the President believes that government is better equipped to solve the problems of Americans than Americans themselves, I want him to fail.

10. If the President attempts to follow through on his campaign promise to fundamentally transform the United States of America, I want him to fail.

11. If the President wishes to send me a check that I didn’t earn, paid for with other people’s hard-earned tax money, and call it a tax cut, I want him to fail.

12. If the President wishes to send a so-called stimulus check to those who did not pay federal income taxes, I want him to fail.

13. If the President believes that government bailouts of private sector businesses are the way to tend to an ailing economy, I want him to fail.

14. If the President believes that the government should set pay limits on executives of companies who receive bailout money, I want him to fail.

15. If the President believes that government spending of unprecedented amounts of taxpayer money is the way to deliver the economy from recession, I want him to fail.

16. If the President believes that the planet is in danger of catostrophic ruin due to man-made global warming, and is willing to implement so-called “green” policies that will damage this country’s economy, I want him to fail.

17. If the President wishes to undertake an unparalleled “domestic infrastructure” plan that puts untrained non-professionals on the government’s payroll with the belief that this will stimulate the economy, I want him to fail.

18. If the President believes that people who fall into the highest tax brackets in this country need to pay more taxes, I want him to fail.

19. If the President believes that the military of the United States is a venue for social engineering – such as lifting the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy – I want him to fail.

20. If the President believes that healthcare is not only a right but a moral obligation of government, I want him to fail.

21. If the President believes that it is a good idea to attack those who listen to conservative talk radio as a means of fostering unity, I want him to fail.

22. If the President supports a reinstatement of the so-called Fairness Doctrine, effectively ending talk radio as we know it, I want him to fail.

23. If the President is unwilling to boldly deal with illegal immigration into the United States, and chooses to try and come up with something “comprehensive” to solve the problem, I want him to fail.

24. If the President is unwilling to take a serious look at nuclear energy as a viable and safe alternative source of energy, while wasting time focusing on wind turbines and solar paneling, I want him to fail.

25. If the President decides that he will continue his class-warfare style assault on big corporations – such as oil and pharmaceutical companies – as he did during his campaign by punishing them with higher tax rates, I want him to fail.

Not because he is black. Not because he is a liberal. Not because I seek some sort of vengance on the deranged, lunatic Bush-bashers of the past eight years.

I want him to fail because each and every one of these policies hurts my country.

Period.

Brilliant. Pass it along. Or we will end up suffering the consequences.
