Productive Class Has Bloody Hands from Presidential Bites
Obama has so trash-talked bankers that he had to declare himself the only one standing between them and the “pitchforks.” He has sweet-talked the union masters, who drove American auto manufacturing into the ground and then wonders why those in right-to-work states think he is a rabid dog about to tear them limb from limb with card check. In the government takeover of General Motors, the feds gave the union bosses the gold mine and private investors the shaft. Like a wild dog off its constitutional leash, the federal government has gnawed at the hands that fed our once vibrant economy.
Obama has poor-mouthed America so much on foreign soil it’s a wonder anyone outside this country would put a plug nickel into any American enterprise. He has had to send emissaries to China, giving the wink and nod to Chinese human rights abuses, even as he begs them to continue supporting our debt. With the liberal dogs of insatiable appetite in charge, nonstop profligate spending and the debt have become dire threats to our national security.
Trying to throw a little healing balm in the direction of business’ bitten-bloody hands, President Obama sought and pushed through Congress a $30 billion small bank lending bill. But there’s a huge problem. The all-too-human business owners are now too skittish about the current regulatory regime — that rabid, prowling dog again — to want to take any money through any government program. The community banks, at whom some of this “stimulating” money was aimed, are too bite-shy now to accept the offered bone, and even if they weren’t, they say there’s no need. It’s too late to undo all the presidential bites taken out of the backsides of American business. The too-oft-bitten businesses don’t want to risk borrowing money when the rules may change at any minute, due to the federal dog’s utter unpredictability.
Bitten once, shame on you; bitten twice, shame on me. Bitten this many times by a federal dog growing more aggressive by the hour and no human with half a brain would stick his neck within the feds’ jaws.
So, the president is upset that folks are talking about him like a dog.
Well, if he were smarter than a dog, he would long ago have put a muzzle on himself before he bloodied the business hands that feed us.
And if he looks for that sympathy in the dictionary, he’ll find it between sh-t and syphilis. That’s the best he’ll get from me.
“Trying to throw a little healing balm in the direction of business’ bitten-bloody hands, President Obama sought and pushed through Congress a $30 billion small bank lending bill.”
This is what I detest most about a big, bloated, Federal Government. Obama is making a big deal about loaning businesses some of their own money and then having them pay it back to the banks with interest. Remember, this $30 billion doesn’t come out of thin air. It comes from OUR TAXES!!! So, in reality, we are giving people, or in this case small businesses, some of their own money back which they paid to the government in taxes just so they can have the pleasure of paying back to banks with interest. And people wonder why they hate Obama and the Federal government.
Wait, here’s a thought. How about REDUCING taxes on small businesses, especially for Sub “S” corporations and on dividend payments, and let the small businesses keep more of their own money? That way, they won’t have to go to the bank to get the stupid loan.
No wonder businesses are in full revolt against Obama and his minions. Obama is a typical big-government socialist who doesn’t care about spending other people’s money, so long as it accomplishes his liberal agenda. Whether or not the country actually goes broke is for “others” to figure out. What a hateful man this president is. But November is coming and, hopefully, this will be the beginning of the end of his administration.
As always, Kyle-Anne has provided us with an excellent article. I just wish that she would get really serious and and take off the kid gloves!! You go, girl!!
The bottom line is that obama is the most evil dictator this nation has ever had. We have had some really bad residents living in our white house, but this one is the most evil, incredibly arrogant, dangerous one so far. I am still amazed that supposed intelligent Americans fell for his rhetoric. When he said ‘change’, why didn’t they ask, ‘what kind of change’ and ‘why’ do you want to change and transform the greatest nation in the world? His ‘hope and change’ were really code words for DIVIDE AND CONQUER! The first time I heard him open his lying mouth I knew we were in for the ride of our lives. Unbelievable!
We will see in November if those that voted in Obama has learned anything about their socialists chice.He won by 8,000,000 votes…thanks to many blacks and others that were first time voters,and other decieved voters.

Hip Hip Hooray! Fabulous, honest article about this “dog”. I wish everyone in America would copy , paste and mail this to all white house people who work for their “master” and force him to read it. Better yet, start a fund to pay for a page in the major papers that Dog Man might read and put it on a page for advertising “something” LOL. No laughing matter.
We have to hope the polls are not contaminated people! The people who worked their dumb buts off to elect him and the ones who poured money to him from foreign countries still want him in power. They love how he is chopping our ankles off.
The greatest disgrace is the military men are not allowed to vote because our system is not set up for it but they are now pushing for mail in votes so the lazy nincompoops who don’t want to have to walk in to vote can..duh …dumbed down folks..
I hope prayer works and people also pray this election will sweep out the incumbents.
According to financial pundits, 91% of all small businesses have all the capital they need. That mostly leaves the latest incarnation of ACORN, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, SEIU, and other thugs to try and get to the 30 billion for “small businesses”. Big businesses have simply stashed their cash instead of dealing with Obama-bank and they, too, have no need to borrow.
The problem with business is clearly not one of “not borrowing” is businesses borrow to expand. Consumers just ain’t buyin’. That means little demand. In Obama-econ-land, who is willing to buy the latest innovative gadget when there’s nearly 20% under/un-employed? And it’s gonna get worse. A lot worse. Bernanke will inflate and boom! goes the bond rally.
The wonder is that Obama’s not running like heck for the deep woods pursued by the rabid hounds wounded voters.
Kyle-Anne awesome article!
Not to put a too fine point on the (rabid)dog analogy, those who are still fixated on hope and change-actually, stuck on stupid-would do well to clear the path for the Tea Party saviors.
If they fail to move out of the way, I have no problem stating – a Stuxnet on their heads!!
I’m not one for mincing my words or holding back in the Telling It Like It Is Department , making me most unpolitical indeed. So at the risk of having race cards lobbed my way (which these days more resemble hand grenades), here’s the real deal. It’s not just that Obama misread his mandate and overreached, alienating the centrists who put him in office. It’s that Obama never really had much of a mandate at all. Obama, for a number of reasons, failed to grasp the ‘wink wink nod nod’ with which he was elected in the first place. While his race is certainly the most compelling reason he won the election (can you name me a similarly unqualified white candidate that could possibly risen so fast?), the combination of his massive ego, hubris, and propensity to actually believe the socialist trope that even many die-in-the-wool liberals find as unpractical helped ensure that he missed this subtle but vital understanding. Surrounding himself with sycophantic enablers holding pent-up socialist dreams and a compliant congress and media didn’t help either. All these centrists truly wanted was for Obama to quietly fill the anti-Bush (in name only), caretaker, token, symbolic, figurehead roll of a post-racial president for the next eight (but alas more likely four now) years without doing too much damage to either the Presidency, the country, or the world. Not taking the clue, he has now gone and done all three. Well, he cannot be quite as blamed as can his inner circle, the DNC apparatchiks, and the mass (and leftish) media – but he and his enablers will all indeed now pay a steep political price.
The truth is, all this could have been avoided if in the first place, the left establishment grasped this and nominated a Black candidate who was more qualified, less partisan, and more attune to the political leanings of the average American (center right). In fact that’s more or less what America was told it was getting with candidate Obama in 2008. Perhaps a little better vetting was in order.
In this regard,Colonel West comes to mind, or, Thomas Sowell.
Both outstanding men of character-men with chests-who happen to be Black.
Indeed, Colin Powell and Condie Rice also come to mind. Predictably, one supposes that they would be seen as Uncle Toms (or Aunt Tams in Condie’s case) and be rejected by the MSM and racial supremist Al Sharpton types, but either of them would have run circles around BHO. Both have common sense, real world experience, and sharp political instincts. (And, it must be said, the smarts not to run for the worst job in the America in the first place!)
Sorry, but Condi and Colin are not in the Conservative camp, even in the most vague way.
They operated under a Republican leadership, but never had their hearts into it.
They are barely RINO’s…..
I always liked Condie. I don’t know what her true politics are, but Colin Powell publicly endorsed Obama before the election.
Kyle-Anne – Absolutely one of the best in the business. She breaks down the issues with clarity and analysis – and them takes them home with a purpose. Good for her. Keep up the great work. I ALWAYS look forward to her columns.
You know, I always have a hard time with those polls that ask me if Obama has “fallen short of my expectations”. The straight answer is “no” – I expected him to be incompetent – but I’m sure that’s not what they mean by the question.
I told her, “One of the benefits of getting older is you have a standard to judge by from past experience – in this case, I had previously predicted Obama would be the reincarnation of Jimmy Carter; insufferably incompetent and and incredibly lame. However, Obama has indeed exceeded my expectations of inanity and I was wrong, as I failed to recognize how dangerous abject stupidity in combination with hubris could be.”
There was silence for a few seconds with a sheepish question, “I’ll take it Obama has exceeded your expectations?”
And I think I answered between snorts, “technically that would be a Yes answer.”
YES WE CAN!
…And people wonder why “Atlas Shrugged” and “going John Galt” have become so popular AND relevant.
There is no seeming to it. This President IS clueless. Two years into his failing Presidency and his approval numbers are heading to the thirties. We have the spectacle of a man with jingle jangle hands bouncing down the tarmac, a slippery grin on his otherwise arrogant face, giving us the equivalent of a post-modern Carter Malaise tour. I can only hope for more of the same. Every time this failing President attempts to interact with the American people lacking a prompter his numbers start falling and the Democrat Socialists inch ever closer to their own impending doom. Lets have more of it.
WoW~best of show KA! It’s Christmas morning, almost. Woof-woof.
Obama’s just a leftist utopia show dog. In their zeal the ‘owners’ never inquired about its background “showability”. This dog was never intended for show quality yet there are still too many ‘owners’ remaining with this fantasy;( They are still confused and sold a bill of goods as to the attributes of leftism. America will profit from this possessed dog show. Next time we will pick one which has no disqualifying faults. Woof!
God bless America and you! Stay safe.
I find myself thinking of an old joke:
Obama and his henchmen have treated the people of the United States — especially its investor / employer class — as if we were masochists. Having kicked us repeatedly, he now expects us to lick his hand, and is baffled that instead, we snarl and bare our teeth. Either he hasn’t got the intelligence of a kumquat, or his narcissism is so profound that he’s emotionally unable to concede the cause-and-effect relation that links abuse to reprisal.
The reprisal is coming. I trust it will be good and hard. This formerly free country has suffered Obamunist shackles long enough; it’s time to throw them off. And by returning Obama to the private sector — no, wait: we’ll be sending him there; we can’t return him there, as he’s never been there before — we’ll administer the harshest rebuke to his egotism it could receive outside a prison’s walls.
Of course, prison walls will remain a possibility…
nobody just happens to be black, they are born that way, it is less unfortunate today than ever before, which is the primary reason a black made it into oval office fame as first negro to degrade the office ! wait, its not over yet, 2 more years coming , more wars that we cant pay for, the rest of the world being negatively effected by this chicago community advocate, quite inept at being commander in cheif, fires one of our best soldiers, his prowes grew with oritorical repitition via teleprompter attention.
Ms. Shiver,
Believe this is the second time I’ve complimented you. Your commentary is some of the most enjoyable reading for me on PJM.
Another job well done.
In the dogmatic thinking of the marxist ignoramuses, richness is not created by capitalism but by “the proletarians”. Therefore, the marxist subversives will do everything they can to destroy any and every private business: they don’t see any problem in this.
The fact that when you do all that you end up creating poor countries (like Cuba, the USSR, etc.) is then entirely due to “imperialism”, that “sabotages” the glorious socialist countries.
Period.
This shallow and poor pseudo-thought is contagious because it is very simple, and any stupid can learn to repeat these idiocies. And we have lots of stupids in the universities, in the media, and now at the White House.
That’s all.
His community bank czar is closing these banks at an alarming rate; nearly 300 closed by his regime; arbitrary and constantly changing criteria; calling non-delinquent loans of long time customers. The goal seems to be only large government compliant banks to remain to facilitate wealth transfer.
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep saying it: if you want to see obama’s vision for America, take a look at Detroit after 35 years of democRAT rule. This once-proud city is on her knees for the final count. God help our country if we don’t vote the dims out of Congress this fall. And if the repubs continue to do their dim-light act, we must get rid of them too.
Thanks, Kyle-Anne, for speaking for us so eloquently. Always your columns add clarity to the topics of the Day.
It’s time to send out the dog catchers. That means you and I and every other American that wants to save our nation from the pitbull in chief and the dummycrats, need to vote for conservative Republicans, where available, and less than conservative Republicans, where necessary, to defeat and depose every damn dummycrat in site. Save America, defeat the dummycrats!!
Obama bashes business for he has NO IDEA how business, investment, return, overhead etc., means.
Don’t forget he’s the same dupe who coined, ‘Accounting is an inexact science’. What a moron.
LibertyShip46 – In regards to the ‘$30 Billion TAX HIKE, err, ‘Small Business Stimulus Bill’ – Many banks and small businesses are staying away from it altogether.
Most of the banks who can offer the ‘Stimulus money’ have enough capital to provide the loans AND small businesses have been anemic in all facets of their business due to the prior unknown though frightening aspects of ObamaCare taxes, procedure come January.
This CiC of ours makes Pelosi, Reid and even Kerry seem far more intelligent than he at times… yikes!
