DENIAL, JUST A RIVER IN EGYPT?

Repudiation as defined in Webster’s dictionary - 1. to disown, 2. to disavow

Reports continue to come in describing Barry's rather stubborn refusal to accept, in any way, shape, manner or form, the premise that it was the blatant abuse of power by both a Democrat controlled Congress and by Barry himself over the course of the last two years that brought about the recent Democrat debacle that was the 2010 Mid-term elections. Instead, he insists that it was brought about by nothing more than a failure on his part to properly convince the American people that all that he and the Democrats have done "for" them, and continue to try to do "for" them, is all in their best interest. Unfortunately for him, this is where he is dead wrong, because the American people rightly recognize that all this continuing government expansion as something that benefits only Barry and the Democrats. And certainly not the American people! It is designed specifically to create a condition that has an ever increasing number of individuals becoming completely dependent upon the government for their existence. And therefore to create for Barry and the Democrats, a method by which they can increase their voter base while at the same time benefiting those who already make up Democrat Party core constituencies. You would think it would be rather obvious regarding how last week’s election came to produce the results that it did. But I guess that’s just not the case, because in Barry’s world, nothing can ever be seen as being his fault. One of the real laughers came during the daily White House press briefing on Thursday after the election, with Press Secretary Robert “The Moron” Gibbs working ever so diligently to advance the requisite talking points, suggesting that Americans do not want to repeal health care legislation. He made the point, or at least he tried to as best as Bob can, that there is really nothing to take away from this election that would indicate in any way that that is what the American people want. And he said he thinks Republican attempts to do so won’t make it out of Congress. “I honestly don’t think it will come to that,” Gibbs said on Thursday in response to a question about whether Barry “O” would veto any repeal attempts. But our buddy Gibbs went beyond commentating on what he thinks will happen with Congress. In his opinion, Tuesday’s elections suggested “nothing” about the American people being interested in “going back” to the way health care was handled before the controversial bill was passed. “I don‘t think any data suggests that that’s what people want to see after Tuesday,” he said. Earth to Bob, Earth to Bob, come in Bob.


So here we are with Barry seeming to take the position that the election outcome does nothing more than to acknowledge what many have seen as his chief weakness, that being the failing to effectively sell the "importance" of his several legislative milestones to the American people. Barry has acknowledged errors since his taking office, such as admitting that he misjudged the pace of the economic recovery. Now wouldn't you think that someone smart enough to get himself elected president would also be smart enough to see that before one can even begin to judge the speed of any economic recovery, you would first have had to put into place those policies which would actually bring just such an occurrence about. But not Barry, nope. “We were so busy and so focused on getting a bunch of stuff done that we stopped paying attention to the fact that, yeah, leadership isn’t just legislation, that it’s a matter of persuading people and giving them confidence and bringing them together, and setting a tone,” Barry said in his softball interview on CBS’s “60 Minutes.” LEADERSHIP? And what kind of an imbecilic statement is that anyway? What kind of leadership is it, exactly, that has been exhibited by our community agitator of a president? Adding, “We haven’t always been successful at that, and I take personal responsibility for that. And it’s something that I have to examine carefully as I go forward.” What a bunch of gibberish. A supposedly humbled Barry, who termed the election outcome as his being on the receiving end of a “shellacking” during a postelection press conference Wednesday, must now grapple with what I'm sure he considers to be a much more emboldened as well as empowered political “enemy.” An enemy that will most assuredly have in its sights the undoing of as much as possible that which Barry sees as having “accomplished” in the last two years. Chief on that list, hopefully, will be an effort to repeal his signature achievement, the healthcare/insurance "reform" debacle. While Barry stopped short of expressing public regrets about any specific policy decisions, he attempted to portray a tone of contrition in a televised news conference the day after Tuesday’s midterm elections saw Republicans recapture the House and narrow the Democratic majority in the Senate. “Part of my promise to the American people when I was elected was to maintain the kind of tone that says we can disagree without being disagreeable. And I think over the course of two years, there have been times where I’ve slipped on that commitment,” Barry said. Gee, ya think? What role were the Republicans even "allowed" to play in advancing his disastrous healthcare/insurance "reform" legislation? Ah, that would be, NONE! Let’s face it, it hasn’t been since the 1930s that voters have so resoundingly rejected a president’s policies and agenda to level that was done just one short week ago. More importantly, the midterm elections sent an even clearer message: Americans will no longer tolerate being subjugated by an elitist attitude in Washington, D.C., an attitude that only serves to demean all that they hold dearest, especially when it originates from their president.


Everything that Barry has "accomplished" over the course of the last two years, and I do mean everything, has had as its primary rationale, the advancing, part and parcel, of his primary objective which is, of course, the “fundamental transforming of America.” Especially its culture and its history. He possesses this inherent belief that it is the state that is much more capable and therefore better equipped, to provide necessary solutions than are individuals, and if Obamacare promises to do anything, it is that it flagrantly promises a “redistribution of wealth” to those whom Barry feels most entitled, as well as most deserving, to receive it. While Barry chooses to see it another way than do most folks, it this rather twisted philosophy of his that is directly responsible for what many see as a backlash and the subsequent Democratic bloodbath that occurred on November 2, 2010. And it was such a dramatic shift that it even found its way directly into Barry’s very own backyard. Might one then say, as Reverend Jeremiah Wright once claimed about the U.S. KKK of A., that Barry's "chickens have now come home to roost?" It was Alexi Giannoulias, the handpicked candidate of Chicago’s political mob, who managed to lose the president’s former Senate seat in what can only be seen as a rather embarrassing defeat to say the least. In Ohio, where Barry made 12 separate campaign stops, and Vice President Joe "Bite Me" Biden visited another seven times, the Democrats still not only managed to lose the gubernatorial race but also had losses in both houses of Congress. The same occurred in Pennsylvania, where Pat Toomey defeated Joe Sestak in the Senate race. It was Sestak who found himself in a pay-for-play scandal involving Arlen Specter and "BJ" Clinton. When Americans cast their ballots on November 2, they clearly denounced Barry's hollow platform of “hope and change” that simply does not reflect the values and principles that a majority of them had been raised on for generations. So when asked by correspondent Steve Kroft if it were true, as Republicans have suggested, that the election was a referendum on him and the Democrat Party, Barry calmly replied, “I think first and foremost, it was a referendum on the economy. And the party in power was held responsible for an economy that is still under-performing and where a lot of folks are still hurting." He acknowledged that he thought the economy would have improved more by now and that he sometimes feels powerless when it comes to spurring growth. “I do get discouraged, I mean, there are times where I thought the economy would [have] gotten better by now,” Barry said. What exactly would have made him think that the economy would have improved at all by now, especially when it seems that he's done everything in his power to create an environment that makes that very thing all that more difficult, if not impossible. “As president… you’re held responsible for everything. But you don't always have control of everything. Especially an economy this big— there are limited tools to encourage— the kind of job growth that we need,” he said, quickly adding that he was “positive” that the U.S. economy will eventually rebound. And just what does he base that little bit of clairvoyance on? Barry conceded that his drive for financial regulatory reform and some of his stimulus efforts have caused business leaders to view him and his administration somewhat warily. Now there's the freakin understatement of the century! “There's no doubt that the relationship with the business community over the course of the last two years at times has gotten strained,” Barry said. “And, so, I think that we've got some repair work to do there.” Repair work? Barry said he has no desire to intrude further into the business sector, but that recent moves in that direction were necessitated by what he called “exceptional circumstances.” Just how much further can he intrude anyway? Does anyone really doubt for even a second that Barry will intrude even further into the private sector should additional circumstances, which he deems as being “exceptional,” arise? “My overarching philosophy is not one in which we have constantly increasing government intervention,” the president said. What? Barry also chose to use the "60 Minutes" interview to signal interest in a possible deal with Republicans that could extend Bush-era tax cuts set to expire at the end of the year. “We’re going to have a negotiation,” Barry said. “I am open to-- you know, finding a way in which, you know, they can meet their, principles and I can meet mine. But in order to do that, I think we do have to answer the question of how we pay for it…. Hopefully, we can agree on a set of facts that leads to a compromise.” Let's not forget how it is that Barry chooses to negotiate. Remember now, He won! However, now it would seem that that shoe just might be on the other foot. Ya think?


Barry sought the "60 Minutes" interview, which he knew would be friendly, as an opportunity to sell the idea that while many of his policy efforts may be unpopular with a majority of Americans, they are the right medicine at the right time, and are desperately needed to address our sharp economic downturn. But he acknowledged that one major contributor to the “big government Obama” narrative, the health care reform law, was something he could have deferred. “At the time, we knew that it probably wasn’t great politics,” Barry said. “I made the decision to go ahead and do it and it proved as costly politically, as we expected. Probably actually a little more costly than we expected, politically,” he added. And one thing I think he should have added is the fact that it was painfully obvious that the American people did not want it. And because of that fact, I think the Democrats, as a whole, were not foolhardy enough to think that the election result was going to be anything other than what it was. But the compulsion to do something that has essentially been the wet dream of liberals for nearly 70 years was just too great to let the opportunity, that being the massive Democrat majorities in Congress, pass them by. Barry also provided a hint of the potential storyline for the upcoming 2012 presidential campaign, when he implied that the health care plan he backed was specifically designed to mirror those proposed in the past by Republicans, including former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, whom Barry suggested is making another bid for the White House. “We thought that if we shaped a bill that wasn’t that different from bills that had previously been introduced by Republicans, including a Republican Governor in Massachusetts who’s now running for president, we would be able to find some common ground there. And we just couldn’t,” Barry said. Look, I'm not sure whether Romney will run again or not, but for Barry to even attempt to make the claim that the plan he supported was somehow patterned after any number of nonexistent plans proposed by any number of Republicans, is more than just a bit disingenuous. The fact of the matter is that there was only one plan proposed back in 2006 by a single Republican governor of what was, and still is, a very Blue state. And it is a plan that has since been significantly bastardized by the Democrats in that state to the point where the cost has now absolutely skyrocketed and even Romney no longer supports it. So I just don't think that through his attempting to portray one plan introduced by one Republican governor as being many different plans proposed by many different Republicans, is going to fly as very far his trying to justify his desire to acquire complete control of the healthcare for every single American. If anything the plan to which he refers to as being a Republican plan, has clearly shown that government run healthcare is simply not practical nor is it cost effective. And it does nothing to bring down the cost of healthcare. So this whole ploy being advanced by Barry is just one more lie being told by this president to justify actions taken by him and his fellow Democrats against the will of the people. Barry also expressed impatience with his more liberal supporters for not understanding the deep divisions in the country. “I will say that when it comes to some of-- my supporters— part of it, I think, is-- the belief that if I just communicated things better, that I’d be able to persuade-- that half of the country that voted for John McCain that we were right and they were wrong. One of the things that I think is important for people to remember is that-- you know, this country-- doesn’t just agree with the New York Times editorial page. And, I can make some really good arguments-- defending the Democratic position. And there are going to be some people who just don’t agree with me. And that’s okay.” What? Well I'm just not sure how it is that you can go about trying to convince people that you're way is better when all you're doing is to either threaten them or completely ignore everything that they have to say. And for him to make the claim that he can make good arguments that defend such an outrageous expansion of government that has taken place over the course of the last years is nothing short of insane. There is no good argument. What Barry fails to comprehend, I guess, is the fact that people, at least most people anyway, do not want the government to be their babysitter. They want government as far removed as possible from their life.


Even with everything that took place on Election day, it would seem that there are still plenty of examples that makes it very clear that there remains many Americans who still just don't get it. First in California, we have 92 percent of the populace who say that they disapprove of their political leaders and the direction they were being led. And despite teetering on the edge of bankruptcy due to rampant overspending and decades of liberal policies, voters still inexplicably elected career politicians Barbara Boxer to Congress, and Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown as governor. Because of that, they now realistically face becoming the first “federalized” state after the nation’s taxpayers are forced to bail them out because they’re “too big to fail.” And then we have in neighboring Nevada, a state racked by 14.5 percent unemployment and an unparalleled foreclosure crisis, union reps spearheading the return of "Dingy" Harry Reid as a U.S. Senator. Yes, this is the same political hack that engineered countless backroom deals in an effort to ensure the passage of Obamacare. And in Connecticut, voters didn’t seem to mind that yet another career Democrat politician, Richard Blumenthal, lied repeatedly about serving in Vietnam, even though he never saw a single day of combat. And when asked about how jobs were created during a debate with his opponent Linda McMahon, Blumenthal couldn’t arrive at any kind of a sensible answer. His lack of real-world experience was glaringly apparent as he feebly mumbled about government being the answer. Next door in Massachusetts, the epitome of a bloated bureaucrat, Rep. Bawney Fwank, cruised to yet another victory in the House. Lest we forget, it was Frank’s former boyfriend, a male hooker, who was once exposed for running a prostitution ring out of Fwank’s basement. Fwank also propped-up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; actions which led directly to the U.S. housing collapse and an economy that has yet to recover. And then we have South Carolina, where laughably, 28 percent of voters there gave the nod to Alvin Greene, the Democratic senatorial candidate who had been indicted recently for showing obscene photographs to a young college student last year. What do you want to bet that every one of those who comprised that 28 percent, or at least 99 percent of them, were black? After all, Mr. Green met that single most important qualification required to receive their vote, he was black. There is now a syndrome running rampant throughout the Democrat Party of they’re being shamelessly out of touch with everyday citizen’s that reaches all the way into our nation’s capital. An excellent example of just how far out of touch came a mere two days after the election, where on November 4 Barry "Almighty" began his ten-day jaunt to India. A little jaunt that will cost taxpayers $200 million per day. You do the math. With a 3,000-person entourage that requires 40 jetliners, Barry’s party booked all 570 rooms in the luxurious Taj Mahal Hotel. Experts predict that despite the trip's $2 Billion dollar price tag, no “big results” are likely to result from the trip. It has been said that the last time a leader of any country traveled with such pomp was in the days of the Pharaohs. Yep, but hey, Barry can still feel the pain of the millions of unemployed Americans. Barry’s pre-taped appearance on “60 Minutes” show which came as he was in the midst of his ten-day trip to Asia, presented him with an opportunity to inject discussion of U.S. domestic issues into news coverage of his overseas travels. White House officials are clearly nervous that the journey, parts of which have been repeatedly postponed, could contribute to public perceptions that the president is detached from the economic concerns of everyday Americans. As a result, nearly every stop is expected to include explicit discussions of American jobs tied to foreign exports. It's all just one more con job perpetrated by an out of control political thug.


Whether Barry or not can bring himself to accept it, the sole reason for the drubbing taken by the Democrats on Election Day all the way down to the state level, is him and his European socialist policies. There can be no other explanation. And to make believe it isn’t so does not make it any less of a fact. Many are saying that Barry will no be forced to move more toward the center. Don't bank on that happening. He is driven in his desire to drag us to the left, kicking and screaming if necessary. The Republicans need to be very mindful of the fact that this man will say or do absolutely anything if he sees it as being useful in assisting him to accomplish his goals. We know that he is not above lying if he sees it as a useful tool. As of right now all we can do is to watch, and wait, and hope.
