Obama visited West Michigan. No one was impressed. He brought alone the worst Governor in the United States, presiding over the worst economy, to brag about her great performance. (That is like bringing Bill Clinton along to a family living conference to explain how he learned to resist temptation). He gave millions to a Korean company and then insultedlocalCongressman Peter Hoekstra, who despises Obama, but attended out of respect for the office of President of the United States. The real Obama is being exposed on a daily basis and the stench is too ugly to ignore.

The financial reform package is a disaster, for Democrats. The last thing we needed was another layer of unnecessary regulations designed by incompetent fools as cover for more handouts to unions and activists. The backlash will be instant, obvious and severe. If you think it was difficult to get a loan before, it will become impossible now. Except that if you are an illegal alien, or better yet, black, then you move to the front of the line. This President is overtly racist. He is catering to the unions, the community activists, the gay rights community and muslims. But, here is the problem. None of these groups are capable of creating jobs. Regardless of your personal opinion with regard to gay rights, gay couples are not even effective at producing offspring. It may feel good to a hard core socialist to do wonderful things to these special interest groups, but eventually you run out of money.
Barack Obama is out of money. Wall Street is in open revolt. Contributions to the Democratic party are down more than 50%. Even Hollywood is showing signs of cutting off the purse strings. Big business is openly funding the opposition. Small business never did buy this crap. There is no more money to borrow. Now he is about to let the Bush tax cuts expire, which will result in the largest increase in taxes on the lower income working class in the history of this country. Bush reduced the lowest rate from 15% to 10%. That was a 33% decrease, but eliminating it is a 50% increase.
The financial reform act was a desperate move by incompetent fools out of ideas. It not only won’t work, it will be an obvious disaster from day one. Democrats will spend most of the fall trying to pretend they voted against it. Democrats really think they can reverse the political disaster awaiting them in November by campaigning on this legislation. The opposite is true. This is like the drowning man who tries to stay afloat by grabbing a bag of bricks. The only think he accomplishes is a faster more certain route to the bottom.
While Barack Obama has been busily implementing policies guaranteed to destroy the country, ironically he may save the country by destroying the Democratic party in the process. Perhaps he should ponder this while enjoying the lobster on his seventh vacation.
