Lou Calling: Reality Check!

July 23, 2011

In response to particularlly vocal liberal's post, the following article was submitted to the Sun Journal on July 17th. As is usual with her and her progressive liberal minions, their only defense for our current conditions is 'blame Bush'.That may have worked in 2008 but will fail in 2012. More to the point, if after more then two and a half years in office and control of the Senate, why would anyone reelect Obama and his fellow socialists on Congress?


Sun Journal Letter to the Editor

Reality check….

A recent letter to the Sun Journal from Jane Gaydos asked the question,

“surely, there are other writers who don’t blame Obama for the current mess in DC.”

For the four years, prior to the 2010 elections, the democrats controlled congressional spending. Obama has had over two years to bring spending under control but he has been too busy with other endeavors.

In a recent news clip, while making reference to his ‘stimulus shovel ready’ projects, he quipped, “some of those shovel ready programs weren’t er..(pause and laughter) shovel ready”.

Seated to his left was GE, CEO, Jeffrey Immelt (GE IS A MAJOR DONOR TO DEMOCRATS) who sits on the President’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board, shared in the ‘chuckle’. I wonder how many Americans, out of work, would find this funny.

For the record, Immelt has sent a majority of his production business to China.

There is a simple test we can all take in the privacy of our homes. Here is the first question: ‘If George Bush was running for reelection in 2012 and the cost of gas was $3.65 per gallon, if unemployment was at a national level of 9.2% and he filled his cabinet with a bunch of Socialists, what would liberal progressives do’? My guess is they’d blame Bush for the current conditions and I would have to agree.

There is no second question because there are some who can’t get past the first; that is, they still blame Bush. When will this Country wake up and place the condition in this Country on the current occupant of the Oval Office and his puppets in the Senate.
