"I must do something!" will always solve more problems than "Something must be done"

Democrats and Obama…

Posted by delta on September 26th, 2008

I just realized something – actually remembered it – it was Bill Clinton who deregulated banking when he signed the bill in 1999 which rolled back Glass-Steagall. It was Clinton’s administration which proposed that 50 percent of Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s portfolio be made up of loans to low- to moderate-income borrowers by the year 2001. It was Clinton’s Federal Reserve which demanded that banks treat welfare payments and unemployment benefits as valid income sources to qualify for a mortgage…

The Republican’s are getting blamed for something a Democrat did?  This is funny…

It gets funnier: the economy was just fine (actually it was great and getting better) until the Democratic Congress took over.  Just about 6-8 months after they took over, things started getting bad.  Just long enough to say that it was actually them that went wrong (and not the previous Congress/Senate).  

So either

A) they are completely incompetent,

B)  they lied to the public on what they can actually do to win elections and get a majority,

C) they intentionally dragged their feet to make this happen to win an election, or

D) all of the above…  

Which is it?

The Media is so full of BS trying to get the Dems (no matter who the Dem Candidate is) into the Oval Office that you’ll never hear any of this from them.  The Republicans won’t say anything cause, if they win the Oval Office, they’ll need to work with these people to get anything done…



 
Dems should have run Wesley Clark.  He’s got more executive experience than any Democrat in Washington – he’s also an honest man, one I would trust – but that’s not what they’re looking for is it?  Obama is basically Kerry – all flash and absolutely no substance.  He hasn’t done anything, but damn he looks good up there!  Sure can give a speech!
 
Hell, Biden would make a much better President than Obama- but he’s basically got the same resume as McCain (with no executive or military record), so there would be no difference to run on…

On top of all Biden has, McCain was an officer in the Navy (that’s years of executive experience right there), a POW (no one hates war more than someone who’s had to fight one, especially one who was a POW), and he turned down being an Admiral and retired (humbleness in a politician? No way!).  Anyone who’s ever served knows what he turned down – anyone who hasn’t really can’t understand.  His running mate is young – but she still has more executive experience than Biden or Obama.  She may not be as polished a politician as either of them, but she isn’t much of a talker – she would rather do it than talk about it…

It’s pretty much a no brainer – Obama won’t even go to Washington to help out with the deal going on right now.  He does have responsibilities to the State of Illinois, as their Senator – I know he’s not a guy who takes responsibility, but he needs to vote on something!  He’s gonna sit it out and watch so he can use it (either positively or negatively), whichever way the wind blows.  He just won’t DO ANYTHING!  He’ll talk about it though…

Let’s give it a few more years Dude!  Let’s wait and see if you can actually do something in the next few years – cause you sure as hell haven’t done anything to date.  Talk is not action!
