In Obama's press conference yesterday about the Standard and Poore's credit downgrade of the U.S. from a AAA rating, Obama said of S&P's decision, "They doubted our political system's ability to act."
Obama further stated, "The gridlock in Washington was not constructive."
Obama blamed our political process on the downgrade, criticizing the heavy debate that went on, saying it was too slow. He wants an efficient government that makes decisions quickly, and implements the decisions rapidly as well.
Our political system grinds slowly for a reason. Dictatorships are efficient in the way that Obama desires. Obama wants full power without the obstacle of Congress. He wants to make Congress irrelevant.
The founders created our government to be one filled with checks and balances. Getting things done was supposed to be slow and difficult, so that no tyranny could rise under the American Flag.
Obama disagrees.
He said, "The problem is a lack of political will in Washington."
That's his way of saying it is the Tea Party's fault - how dare they not just shut up and agree.
Then Obama added that all the bill expected was for the GOP to do things they normally support. . . He thinks temporary tax credits and monkeying with the tax code is cutting taxes.
Obama then threw out his "this is a major crisis" accusation, saying that this is the "biggest financial crisis since the 1930s."
And who made it that way?
Obama's policies are what's causing this!
Obama's liberal agenda has failed, and the president is still asking us to allow him to do more of what he has already been doing.
"Gosh," the Democrats seem to be saying, "apparently we just haven't spent enough."
Spending is the problem!
Obama said, "What's best for the country must come before politics."
That's his way of saying, "agree with us, or you don't care about the country."
His policies are damaging the country.
In truth, the liberal agenda is a concerted attack on our American form of government. Obama hates this nation as it was founded. He believes it should be a socialist utopia.
Obama, get it through your thick head: You own this. You own the credit downgrade. You own the stock market drop. You own the spending. You own the failing economy. And the problem is, you love it. This is what you wanted. You wanted to knock this country down a few notches. The liberal left wants the U.S. to become a sinking ship.
Contrary to what Barry believes, the founders wanted debate. They wanted our government to fight it out, taking careful consideration. That is how the Constitutional Convention was. . . It was a battle that took four months, for God's sake.
Obama's are failed policies - making him a failed President.
