Reflect, Rejoice, Renew!

The title to this post is the theme for this Christmas according to the Obama White House and let’s see how you feel about it by the time you get to the end of this screed.

Congress was asked for another $155 Billion earlier this week in order to create “shovel ready” jobs. Wait a minute. Wasn’t that worthy goal the idea behind the stimulus package they approved just about a year ago? As you saw from the previous post, the House Ways and Means Committee was forced to concede that that goal had not been realized. So isn’t this latest measure yet another classic example of throwing good money after bad? In Las Vegas they call it doubling down and that is rarely a winning strategy.

Especially when you don’t have the money and the “Peoples Bank of China has made it abundantly clear that they have no obligation to carry on subsidizing Obama’s narcissism by buying up our Treasury Bonds. They are quite right to be leery as with every turn of the printing presses at the U.S. Mint, the dollar loses value.

And, it doesn’t do much for the credibility of the person with cap in hand who announces to the world that if we don’t pass his healthcare agenda this country will go bankrupt. And they accuse the GOP of trying to frighten the American public.

Now, while we’re on that thorny topic, buried in the fine print among the more than 2000 pages of the Senate Bill is a kind of parliamentary poison pill. In an attempt to head off the effects of the loss of Democratic seats in 2010 and 2012, we read that any attempt to undo any of the provisions will require a majority in the Senate of not 50% or even 60% but a full 67%, the so-called “Super Majority”.

And, Oh, I would be remiss if I failed to mention that indeed there is funding for abortion in spite of protestations to the contrary and in spite of Ben Nelson's dupicity. You won't find it the main bill but rather in "Dingy Harry's" "management addendum". And just like a perennial weed, ACORN is back again for its handout. But the measure passed the Senate anyway after much deal making and utter bribery. No wonder Thurow once described Congress as “the only whorehouse in the country that can’t turn a profit”.

And, I couldn’t miss reporting the events surrounding the appearance of several Democratic and White House spokespersons on Joe Scarborough’s morning TV show earlier this week when it was obvious that these talking heads were receiving real-time instructions via text and Blackberry messages. The source of these coaching directives was indeed the White House, most likely Robert Gibbs.

Is it any wonder that this morning’s Rasmussen tracking poll shows Obama with a minus 21% result. In other words, while only 25% “Strongly Approve”, a whopping 46% “Strongly Disapprove”.

Unless something monumental happens and I can’t avoid it, this is almost certainly my last post before Christmas Day and so I thought it only fitting to apply a seasonal touch.

You can access the search engine of your choice and you will discover that there are more than 10 schools across this country which have published records of their students singing songs in praise of Obama, the Most Merciful. But now the White House is surpassing even that with the decorations on the White House Christmas Tree. Most of these were produced by the creative director for Barney’s of New York.

Two examples of this persons creativity included one with the face of Chairman Mao on it who single-handedly brought about the death of more than 35 million of his own people.

But, surely the piece de resistance is a tree decoration showing Obama’s face, ears and all, on Mount Rushmore. The source for that terrifying snippet is no less than ABC News.

So how about a couple more "R" words to add to the title of this post?

Reflect, Rejoice, Renew, Regurgitate, Resign.

That's more like it!

Merry Christmas
