The US House of Representatives adjourned at about 6:30 pm eastern and will not take up any new business until noon on New Year’s Day. That means that we’re going over the cliff, folks, no matter what the Senate and White House do. Like Marshall, Will and Holly.
I just watched Democrat Kirsten Powers on Fox opine that President Obama doesn’t want to go over the cliff because he has no vested interest in doing bad things to the economy. Evidently she has been asleep for four years. Obama has done nothing but bad things to the economy, and it drove up dependence and helped get him re-elected. The fiscal cliff with its deep defense cuts and tax hikes was his White House’s idea, and the Republicans were dumb enough to fall for it, the media covered for him when he lied about it. Going over the cliff gives him everything he wants and then some, and gives the Republicans nothing.
Happy New Year everyone! Your taxes are going up, at least temporarily, while fraudster dinosaurs like Charlie Rangel and Joe Biden work out our economic future. I’m sure I’m not the only one who wishes the Mayans might have been right.
Kirsten Powers could watch this president murder someone in a fit of anger and remark that “He didn’t do that”. Clue to Kirsten: Don’t listen to what he says – watch what he does. Since she is a party hack Feckless Won can do no wrong. Like the old saying goes love is blind. And in her case quite dumb. I will give her credit for seeing through the ‘war on women’ crap – most of the time she sides with whomever is right.
Or, Kirsten Powers could watch this president cooly, calmly, and probably gleefully, kill people with drone attacks throughout the world.
You are absolutely right. Don’t listen to what Obama says. Watch what he does.
Those drone strikes on al Qaeda operatives are the only GOOD thing that has come out of the Obama Administration.
And they only did that as window dressing to hide the fact that the administration has been a complete sellout to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Guess what: we’ve already tipped over the brink.
What we think of as the “fiscal cliff” is merely a bubble of air turbulence on the way down.
The much-vaunted “American exceptionalism” won’t cushion the sudden stop at the bottom.
