Obama in The Brier Patch
Obama schooled the Republicans when he invited them to a meeting with him ostensibly designed to change the atmosphere in D.C. from rank partisanship to “Cum-Bay-Ah” time. Get the picture…BHO standing stately on a podium elevated 3 feet above his subjects who were dutifully seated, hands folded and at attention, in front of him. Missing were his teleprompters so he did have a degree of mental nakedness, having only his quick wit and pearly white plastic smile, modeled after Nancy Pelosi, to keep him in charge. He made one admission, that he wasn’t quite as open as he had promised. He quickly minimized his error by stating that almost all debate concerning the health care bill was televised on C-SPAN. The meat of the crafting took place in Harry Reid’s office, but that fact eluded Obama’s steel trap mind. Hard to believe isn’t it…..a disingenuous Barry Soetoro aka BHO.
BHO proceeded to either; not answer the questions posed him, answer them partially but sell his agenda in the process or make promises that history indicates he has no intention of keeping. In general he was quintessential Barrack Hussein Obama. But, like Br’er Rabbit of childhood story fame, he was in his element. He looked like the winner. So much so he has offered, almost begged the Republicans, to do it again. Please conservatives, don’t fall for this ruse again …he’ll eat your lunch with excessive style but devoid of substance.
Bipartisanship doesn’t work. Sensible, historically proven, well thought out strategies do. Try them for a change. For example: out of control spending got us into this mess…continuation of the same will not get us out of it. Will more liquor cure an alcoholic?
Lower tax rates increase revenue flow into the tax coffers. It has worked for a century through republican and democratic administrations. Democrat John F. Kennedy recognized it and it worked for him. Higher tax rates thwarts the engine of job creation…small business. It has been true for decades, why go against history.
Health care payment models and insurance is broken. Fix it with a common sense strategy and commonly applied tactics not a twisted distorted Edsel like plan applied through auction and barter among those elected officials turned poker players….with our ante.
Don’t give Obama a forum where he is at his lying best. He’s self destructing…….let him go….do your best Ole….don’t throw him in HIS brier patch!
