CATP - And Yet Another Obama Embarrassment,....or Two!

Obama gave a recent speech in a Toledo, Ohio restaurant where he linked the Stimulus of paying auto workers (read Union members and democrat voters) to the restaurant’s benefit because the autoworkers had to have a place to eat..hence business for the restaurant. Good example of trickle down economics, in which Ronald Reagan took mega tons of Democrat garbage over. Obama would have been correct, but the Restaurant went out of business the following week. Another embarrassment for the President, following another week of terrible economic news. What is that? 125 consecutive weeks of poor economic news? Somebody could call this a trend!

Next we find the President in North Carolina, telling workers at a plant that he inherited the economic problems from George Bush, and that he and his team are doing all they can to put the country’s economic health back together. Of course, this plant is full of Union workers, whose dues go to support Democrats, and from the Democrats come ear marks and stimulus money to support the unions – kind of like an unholy alliance,…but I digress,……we come to find out that 50% of this company's products are manufactured in China!! Dohh! Another embarrassment for the President.

Allan Simpson - I used to Like Him!

This is an older letter, perhaps 8 months old, where Alan Simpson, Senator from Wyoming and Co-Chair of Obama's deficit commission, calls senior citizens the Greediest Generation as he compared "Social Security" to a Milk Cow with 310 million teats. Here's a response in a letter from a unknown farmer in Montana ....
I think he is a little ticked off! He also tells it like it is !

"Hey Alan, let's get a few things straight..

1. As a career politician, you have been on the public teat for FIFTY YEARS.

2.. I have been paying Social Security taxes for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63).

3 My Social Security payments, and those of millions of other Americans, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account and give OUR money to a bunch of zero ambition losers in return for votes, thus bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme that would have made Bernie Madoff proud.

4. Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown, you and your ilk pulled the proverbial football away from millions of American seniors nearing retirement and moved the goalposts for full retirement from age 65 to age 67. NOW, you and your shill commission are proposing to move the goalposts YET AGAIN.

5 I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying into Medicare from Day One, and now you morons propose to change the rules of the game. Why? Because you idiots mismanaged other parts of the economy to such an extent that you need to steal money from Medicare to pay the bills.

6. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying income taxes our entire lives, and now you propose to increase our taxes yet again. Why? Because you incompetent bastards spent our money so profligately that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of money. Now, you come to the American taxpayers and say you need more to pay off YOUR debt.

To add insult to injury, you label us "greedy" for calling "bullshit" on your incompetence. Well, Captain Bullshit, I have a few questions for YOU.

1. How much money have you earned from the American taxpayers during your pathetic 50-year political career?

2. At what age did you retire from your pathetic political career, and how much are you receiving in annual retirement benefits from the American taxpayers?

3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?

4. What cuts in YOUR retirement and health care benefits are you proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal, or, as usual, have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?

It is you, Captain Bullshit, and your political co-conspirators called Congress who are the "greedy" ones. It is you and your fellow nutcases who have bankrupted America and stolen the American dream from millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers. And for what? Votes. That's right,

Sir, You and yours have bankrupted America for the sole purpose of advancing your pathetic political careers. You know it, we know it, and you know that we know it.
