The Wheels Come Off



Be careful for what you wish is an old proverb. Perhaps, the Obama (The Chosen One) administration should heed its warning.

The overheated rhetoric about the economy only exacerbates a bad situation. A president needs to build up the country, not tear it down.

This has not been a good week so far and it is only Wednesday morning.

Item: Obama built up the treasury plan to ail out the banks. When his tax cheat treasury secretary unveiled the plan the price tag was $1.5 trillion and details sparse.

Item: People at a town hall meeting begging for new kitchens, more benefits for a burger flipper positions, and free houses do nothing eliminate the impression that this presidency is about a money grab. Your money, their grubby fingers.

Item: The stimulus passed a test vote in the Senate. This pork laden monstrosity will probably pass and when it doesn't work, then what?

We are less than a month into this administration and the wheels look like they are flying off. The 44th president appears to be a clueless light weight.

Comrade Obama

Comrade Obama (the Chosen One) moved quickly to impose a maximum wage. This is something the left has always wanted for this country. It is the ultimate statement in class warfare.

This was imposed by Presidential fiat (presumably via the TARP funds) on corporations that took government bailout money and on some who were forced to take bail out money.

What Comrade Obama (The Chosen One) does not understand (really really doesn't understand) is the marketplace. So let's look at reality. Suppose your compensation was $100,000. This compensation was approved because the expectation is that you would contribute much more than the $100,000 to the bottom line.

Along comes the government and they cut your compensation by 95% or $5000. What would you do? I know what I would do. I would go get a different job.

This is outright communism!
