Obama rambles on , but always makes sure to use the phrase "shared prosperity."  He is so unabashed in his communism; never gets called out on it.  But he is praised for promising to "call out" officials for wasting stimulus money.

I haven't posted anything in a few days.  I find that the more I focus on and stay engaged with current events, the more nervous and depressed I get.  As I feared, Jindal has been marginalized.  Never mind that Bill Clinton made an absolute fool of himself when he spoke at the 1988 Democratic Nataional Conventon.

On the other hand, burying my head in the sand will not accomplish anything.  I heard Mark Levin (among others) say he was confident that Obama would be a one-termer.  I hope so.  But saying this over and over again will not make it happen.  What do we need to do to assure Obama's defeat in 2012?  We can say "Reagan" over and over again until we are blue in the face.  His name will not accomplish anything.  And it is shorthand for nothing other than lazy thinking and betrays an inability to articulate the common-sense positions which should appeal to voteers.

A good friend of mine said to me "Give Obama a chance."  I most certainly have.  And every day I am rewarded with more and more grandiose spending plans which are not thought through, will not create (or ":save") jobs (and what does it actually mean to save a job?).  None of these plans will augment the private sector; they will crowd it out and that is the point of these programs.  Government can legitimately spend money on a limited number of things:  weapons systems and maintaining our armed forces are really all that come to mind, but I am sure there are some other legitimate (as opposed to legal) areas for government spending.  What it can legitimately spend money on benefits its citizens (provides protection) and also creates jobs.

I cannot see any of these spending plans helping the economy.  Indeed, the economy will have its own recovery in spite of these crazy plans.  And won't Obama and the Democrats claim credit for that when it happens, despite the fact that there massive spending will have sown the seeds for an even more crushing recession/stagflation period?  And during that short period of recovery which will coincide with elections, won't Obama be re-elected?  Can this nation survive eight years of this man?
