Obama, Perry, and Presidential Speech
The Obama White House is absolutely aghast, appalled, and chagrined but not over the president’s record low approval numbers or the unemployment rate. Instead, trashing about for something to distract the electorate from his monumental failures, Obama and his brain trust were all exercised ove their latest target, Texas governor and GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry and his ”inflammatory rhetoric” regarding Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.
Perry had the temerity to suggest that if the Obama-Bernanke Fed prints more inflated greenbacks over the next year or so, prior to the general election, it would almost be “treasonous.”
Speaking in Iowa while President Obama was traversing the same region on what Mitt Romney called his “magical misery bus tour,” his taxpayer-funded, non-campaign trip in a million dollar, black-shrouded, Canadian-manufactured vehicle on his quest of votes next year, Perry said of Bernanke, “If this guy prints more money between now and the election, I don’t know what y’all will do to him in Iowa, but we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas.”
Gasp!
Those statements were interpreted by Obama’s primary, global news mass media supporter, Reuters, and by the White House as “threatening.” Not incidentally, the London-based, leftist-oriented Reuters has rarely printed a negative word or article about Obama although it verily overflowed with George W. Bush invective.
Also, to clarify, the Washington-based Federal Reserve System doesn’t print money, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing does. However, the 12 Federal Reserve banks serve as America’s central banking system and the Fed is responsible for destroying currency deemed unfit for circulation, a destructive task it has lately been accomplishing in more ways than one.
Newly-announced presidential candidate Perry was speaking extemporaneously in Iowa, absent an Obamian requisite teleprompter prop, when he issued his “threat,” which is far less threatening than a teleprompter malfunction would be to the president.
No doubt, Bernanke, re-appointed as Fed chairman by Obama, would be greeted in the Lone Star State for what he is, a shill for the administration and a “one-worlder” who has little fear of inflation or deflation and has vowed not to repeat past errors of the Federal Reserve which resulted in the Great Depression even as his monetary policies are heading us in the same direction, or worse.
No reasonable observer thinks Perry was seriously suggesting Bernanke would be physically assaulted in Texas and White House Press Hack Jay Carney was engaging in typically over-reactive, hyperbolic campaign rhetoric when he chastised the governor by saying, “I certainly think threatening the Fed chairman is not a good idea. . ."

The Fantastical Wonderland of Barack Hussein Obama
The Fantastical Wonderland of Barack Hussein Obama
. . . Adeptly executing the blame game approach to governing, two weeks after he signed onto the bi-partisan debt ceiling agreement, Obama now calls the pact “a debacle” and blames “partisan brinkmanship” and plain old bad luck from overseas for his abject failures. (http://bit.ly/oexCxK)
A reality check: America’s economy was in the pits long before Europe’s upheavals, long before Japan’s tsunami and earthquake, long before the Mideast exploded, and long before Republicans made a half-hearted effort to effect fiscal sanity.
Next thing you know, our leader will be saying he really did close Gitmo, that he hasn’t really raised taxes, that Obamacare is constitutional, and that his bride has always been proud of her country.
Far more critical than any of those developments is a valid concern as to whether Obama is in his right mind when he contends he “reversed the recession.” That distorted thinking is contrary to all perceived reality and could be emblematic of an unbalanced mind which is significantly more dangerous than economies in upheaval, tsunamis, crazed Arabs, or angry Republicans!

The Tea Party Serves Notice
The Tea Party Serves Notice
The American tea party movement, the Tea Party, the TPM, was founded on two guiding emotions, frustration and fear, frustration with how governments regard and treat the governed, fear that our leaders and the taxation they imposed were out of control and driving us into bankruptcy.
Both feelings have been proven well-grounded in recent weeks as illustrated by the farcical debt ceiling agreement with its obvious cop-out, the superduper committee, the subsequent Standard and Poors credit downgrade, and the unprecedented stock market upheaval.
The Tea Party arose initially in 2009 as a populist reaction to mindless bailouts, ineffectual stimuli, and an unconstitutional government takeover of health care but has evolved into much more than the Taxed Enough Already Party, as some wags have labeled it. The Tea Party has aroused fear in the liberal hearts of misplaced RINOs in the Republican Party and in the quaking, lost souls of spendthrift Democrats.
Demonstrating that fear, the Left has adopted a policy of demonizing Tea Partiers and their movement as seen most recently by our odd vice president describing them as terrorists, then apologizing for that calumny knowing full well the terrorist label will stick and the apology will soon be forgotten.
Then, some shrink on the leftist MSNBC termed the Tea Party angry, delusional, potentially violent idealists and compared them to the Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik all because they want fiscal sanity in a vast sea of financial dementia. (http://bit.ly/qj2TPT)
Talk about insanity!
Senate Majority Leader Reid was no less out of touch when he predicted the Tea Party would fade away like old soldiers and “will lose a number of seats next year.” Poor Harry has apparently forgotten the TPM only came into its own in 2010 with the conservative avalanche in Congress and refuses to acknowledge that, after two years its supporters have surpassed the number of liberals in the nation.
That latter, chilling news for Dems comes to us via Gallup polls conducted July 27 and August 2. Gallup announced yet another stake through the liberal heart in earlier polls which found that 41% of Americans consider themselves conservatives versus 21% still foolish enough to admit to being liberals. . .
