Obama: The Broken Record


It is just me or does it seems that every campaign speech by Obama has begun to sound like a broken record. It seems he can talk about nothing else but “the rich not paying their fair share” and how he cares about the middle class. Why his defenders say this isn’t class warfare is a mystery to me.

This kind of talk is right out of the communist handbook on how to create a revolution.

So what is the solution Obama offers? Tax the rich more! How does that help the middle class in their tax burden?

It never ceases to amaze me how the government just refuses to lower anyone’s taxes. It’s all a shell game. What they want to do is make the middle class feel better about their taxes by taxing others even more. This in no way alleviates the burden of taxes on anyone!

It is odd that the solutions never include lowering anyone’s taxes or cutting spending. The people in Washington are spendaholics, but the problem is that it’s always with OUR money!

Obama has offered no solutions and seems unable to talk about any of the issues so everything turns into personal attacks and more class warfare. He or his surrogate super pacs are either calling Romney a tax cheat, a felon, or most recently a killer. Do they address the issue of the economy? No, they don’t talk about the economy at all except when they try to blame the poor economy on… yes, you guessed it, THE RICH!

Obama is very big on blame and very small on responsibility. He’s not talking quite as much that the poor economy is the fault of Bush only because it doesn’t poll well anymore. It’s hard to blame it on anyone else because he is after all the top executive position in the country!

In many respects the blame he puts on the rich is rather like a CEO blaming his managers for the direction of the company. He doesn’t dare blame the workers or he’ll have an uprising so instead he gets the workers to be mad at middle management (the rich) for the failures of the his company (country).

I understand he wants to get elected and admitting he’s not really up to the job and doesn’t have a clue how to fix things, and who knows maybe even doesn’t care about fixing things and as such is not going to admit anything is his fault.

What most people either don’t understand or don’t want to believe is that the things happening to this country are by design. Obama has caused much of this personally through executive orders, excessive regulation (EPA, FCC, and various other organizations) and the like, that he cannot even blame congress for the woes. He has tried on occasion to blame congress, but I think he’s started getting push back from his own party because people are no longer fooled by this lie either. Every time it comes up it is made clear that the Democrats had a filibuster proof congress for 2 years and they didn’t fix things. All they did was spend more money, increase the regulations on businesses and add healthcare to the mix.

They have spent TRILLIONS of dollars of our money, and they have nothing to show for it. Now they’re talking about yet another Quantitative Easing, You can read this as another bailout/spending/stimulus. Most Americans are getting fed up with the idea of all this spending that isn’t doing anything to help America.

I hope anyone reading this article will be conscious every time they hear Obama speak what the theme of his message is. I only wish I had a way to easily review or play back his last 10-20 campaign speeches. It sure seems that all he talks about is the rich and how they’re not paying their fair share.

As I mentioned above it is interesting that they never really talk about the principle there because otherwise they know that we would realize is that they’re saying the middle class is paying more than their fair share. Beside the fact that this is not true, still the problem of the middle class paying too much is not solved by taxing anyone else more, at least not if they don’t actually lower the taxes on the middle class, but oddly you will NEVER hear a Democrat even mention lowering taxes for ANYONE. It’s even rate that you’ll ever have a Republican actually vote for lowering either taxes or spending! They simply can’t conceive of this notion. I still believe the reason for this is because their economic world view is that the economy is a zero sum game and because they believe the amount of money and products is fixed some can only have if others do without. This is a faulty view of the economy, but nonetheless the progressives both in the Democrat and Republican parties believe this and as such their only solution is taxes. They can never envision growing your way out of the situation, nor can they ever imagine cutting any spending because again both Democrats and Republicans really do see the government as the answer to all of society’s needs.

We all know what a horrible job the government does managing our money yet the progressives of the nation, and the liberals, but those with D and those with R before their name still want us to believe this isn’t really the case.

It has never been the job of the government constitutionally speaking to provide welfare, schools, or even police. Their job has never been roads, their job constitutionally is not social security and retirement for everyone. Their job is not to make sure everyone makes a fair wage (according to their view of fair). Their job is not to provide abortions or contraceptives. They have no constitutional mandate for any of these things, and according to the constitution any power not given to them specifically is in the power of the states.

Every time Obama speaks he prefers to cloud or completely ignore the issue of separation of federal and state powers. He has already shown his contempt for the constitution and just by reframing the argument by the way he and other progressives talk about it, he is able to make people forget that the federal government is not meant to oversee everything. It has VERY LIMITED powers, or at least it’s supposed to according the constitution.

I only wish some people of his own party would start yelling out at his speeches, “Stop the class warfare and tell us what you’re going to do fix the problems beside “tax the rich!””. Somehow I don’t think this is ever going to happen, but it would sure be nice to see some of the mindless robots and progressives actually start using their brains and start showing enough stones to recognize Obama is not FIXING ANYTHING! Either he doesn’t know how or he doesn’t intend to even if he does not how. Either way the end effect is the same. I’m sure this will be taken to be racist comment, but it is meant to be just the opposite. I can’t help but wonder if it were not for the extreme paranoia of being called a racist if people would still vote for Obama if he was not black. I can’t help but think if he was white that he would be even more reviled than Bush.

What he has done to the economy is shameful. What he has done to divide the nation is shameful. The way he refuses to enforce the laws of the land that he doesn’t like is shameful. The way he throws around Executive Orders as though they were royal decrees is shameful. The way he bypasses congress is criminal and it surprises me that congress does not make a bigger issue out of it. The way he sees absolutely everything through the lens of racism or class warfare is equally shameful and shows a very myopic view of how things work.

I hope people will open their eyes and vote both Obama and those congress people out of office who are either not doing their jobs or not defending the constitution the way they swore to.

I think most people feel that the constitution can take care of itself, after all it’s lasted this long. They don’t understand just how easily it can be wiped away if the government officials determine they are just going to ignore it. People should ask themselves what they would do if our leaders just decided they were going to suspend elections!

Think it can’t happen here? Think again it has happened in other democracies and we are certainly not immune what has happened in history. If we do the same things they did we will have the same results they had.

Obama is a one message president. He can no longer promise to do more of what he’s done because he hasn’t done a thing he promised to do when he ran last time except to “TRANSFORM AMERICA”, that’s the only promise he’s kept, but then he didn’t say it would a transformation for the good, just that he’d do it. He has not kept a single promise he’s made and he has no more to promise. Even though last time all of his promises were general and had NO specifics, this time he can’t and hasn’t promised anything specific except to MAKE THE RICH PAY. I don’t see this as enough of a reason to vote for the man as the president of our great nation!
