Obama passing the buck

Really! The reason the economy is in recession according the Obama is because of the mean old tea party, the tsunami and the Arab uprisings, and the Republicans in Congress, are inhibiting his highness’s ability to change the direction of the economy.

Obama had majorities in both houses until last November, when a clear message sent to you was your policies are wrong. As for the tea party, everyone sees this coming. The Left will demagogue them with personal attacks leading up to the 2012 elections.

Now he is going to propose more deficit spending. This is nothing but sheer desperation at this point in his campaign to create temporary jobs for the benefit of re-election in 2012. The Republicans in the House should stop any more deficit spending in its tracks. No compromise. We are broke!

I applaud the tea party for finally being the voice of reason on the $14.7 trillion deficit. There was a Democratic president, Harry S. Truman, who had on his desk a sign that “The Buck Stops Here.”

Maybe we should send Obama one for his desk, but reads “The Buck Passing Starts Here.”

NoBama in 2012.
