Last night Bill Clinton was claiming the economy is set to explode and we are better off than we were 4 tears ago. Watching the Democratic National Convention, one would think that Obama is this national uniter and healer. That he is an economic genius who has restored prosperity back to levels not seen since the 90′s. This theme is what I have mockingly called the Obama Boom. It’s a fantasy that things are awesome and nver have been better.
Bob Woodword’s new book strikes a nail through the Obama Boom lie. Bill Clinton claims that Obama tried to reach out to the Republicans on a debt deal. The truth is that Speaker John Boehner was ready to compromise on a deal. He agreed to some tax increases in return for massive spending cuts. Obamaligula then tried to press Bohener for more tax increases. The Speaker said no and the fake god-king had a tantrum.
An explosive mix of dysfunction, miscommunication, and misunderstandings inside and outside the White House led to the collapse of a historic spending and debt deal that President Obama and House Speaker John Boehnerwere on the verge of reaching last summer, according to revelations in author Bob Woodward’s latest book.
The book, “The Price of Politics,” on sale Sept. 11, 2012, shows how close the president and the House speaker were to defying Washington odds and establishing a spending framework that included both new revenues and major changes to long-sacred entitlement programs.
But at a critical juncture, with an agreement tantalizingly close, Obama pressed Boehner for additional taxes as part of a final deal — a miscalculation, in retrospect, given how far the House speaker felt he’d already gone.
[....]
When Boehner finally did call back, he jettisoned the entire deal. Obama lost his famous cool, according to Woodward, with a “flash of pure fury” coming from the president; one staffer in the room said Obama gripped the phone so tightly he thought he would break it.
”He was spewing coals,” Boehner told Woodward, in what is described as a borderline “presidential tirade.”
”He was pissed…. He wasn’t going to get a damn dime more out of me. He knew how far out on a limb I was. But he was hot. It was clear to me that coming to an agreement with him was not going to happen, and that I had to go to Plan B.”
Funny how this is not reported. It was our Phoney Pharaoh who broke the deal wanting to get more of his way. Yet the media and Clinton claimed he wants to work with Republicans. This is a lie as big as the Obama Boom myth. The truth doesn’t matter to the media and the Obama cult. This man is a walking deity, who is infallible.

The demoncrats idea of compromise is their opponents accepting the demoncrats proposals.
Perhaps that is one reason why they so easily make common cause with the muslims. It mirrors islams idea of tolerance, a one street where the unbelievers tolerate islam and muslim antics and for their part the muslims are solidly intolerant of unbelievers.
@ citizen_q:
of course the other difference is how they treat women… unless they are named Clinton or Kennedy, then the similarities are amazing.
@ MikeA:
I would think that the reverence and deference accorded to those 2 documented abusers of women would be an effective foil to the demoncrats major campaign issue of an invented by them war on women.
They are hypocrites, throw it back in their faces. Honestly, how hard can that be?
What do I know? I try to be rational, sometimes I succeed.
@ citizen_q:
There is the core of the democrap platform. We love women.. every chance we get. Clinton and Teddy are scum but as long as they can kill babies… oh excuse me… have the choice to do what they want with their bodies, they don’t care.
And the whole equal pay crap. Like a company would ever hire men if they could hire a woman to do the job for less. Shows the fallacy of their argument.
@ MikeA:
It’s a dishonest argument on their part.
@ MikeA:
Abortion uber alles is the rallying cry of the Left. It really is a religious thing for them. Abortion is their secular sacrament. Do this in celebration of your femininity. It is an utter rejection of women as mothers, really. They rail against basic biology. No wonder half of them wanted to take God out of the Democrat Platform.
@ MikeA:
@ Rodan:
More power to those who could stand the circus like lie fest of the DNC.
Every time I heard a clip of someone speaking at that event, I would find myself refuting out loud almost each and every sentence uttered. Drove my wife crazy, and I am sure was not good for my blood pressure. I would just change the channel. I know the enemy. Subjecting myself to more of their propaganda did no good.
I did hear the stronger balance of boos and no to adding back G-d to their plank. It was bull excrement. An empty gesture that won’t fool anyone.
@ Iron Fist:
Of course they had to. In the bible, the worst thing you could do is harm a child. Once the pagans starting sacrificing their children, thats when God really let loose on them.
Matthew 18:6
“But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
Hebrews 10:31
It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
@ Iron Fist:
One aspect of the demoncrats platform of pushing abortion that I have not heard discussed is how it desensitizes the populace to murder in a medical setting and the dangerous road that takes one on.
Evil.
The history of America and Europe in the 30′s and 40′s including the eugenics movement needs to be taught. planned parenthood needs to be tarred by its founder margret sanger. Blacks and Jews need to be re-informed of sanger and other eugenicists views towards them and where that lead.
Woodard’s book show the President as a Beta Male Which is far worse than him losing his temper.

If the black abortion rate were happening in any other context it would be called genocide. The fact that so-called black leaders ignore this tells you all you need to know about their morality.

@ citizen_q:
Both but I think the no one calling them on it is worse. It shows the moral bankruptcy of our current culture. No one wants to know the truth cause then they would have respond to it. As long as they live in the dream world of what the MSM tells them, then I don’t have to worry. Kill a bunch of unborn babies, its a choice. Govt spending money like drunken sailors, they’ll fix it. Corruption in govt and unions, they’ll pass a law… Muslims are nasty, mean and kill people, can’t be cause the MSM tells me they are peaceful. Apathy is the new normal.
Problem is that reality has a way of smacking you in the face whether you want it or not. When the music stops on this finanacial and cultural time bomb, its gonna get ugly.

@ mawskrat:

@ MikeA:
People don’t call them on it for two reasons. First, you will be called a RAAAAACIST, and for people of my generation there is nothing worse you can be. Nevermind that Margaret Sanger was a real racist or that Planned Parenthood has racist roots. Second, the MFM infrastructure protects abortion like it was the Holy Grail. Anything negative about it is either hushed up or ridiculed.

Last night Bill Clinton was claiming the economy is set to explode. This part of his sentence would be factually if obama is sent home to Hawaii in Nov. The second part, “and we are better off than we were 4 tears ago” is pure BS. Billy wants obama to stay so that Hillary will have a chance in 2016.
The Democrats mad gret headway yesterday in proving
that they are just like Middle America.
First they booed God
Then an illegal alien addressed the delegates
that was followed by a white woman claiming
that she is a Cherokee
then followed an unmarried 30 year old woman whining that she needs
you to pay for her contraception because she screws like
a mink.
And the topper was a lecture by a disgraced, impeached former
poresident.
See, they’re just folks.

Actually give Bill Clinton credit for telling the truth about the economy being set to explode. The economy is set to explode, but not in the euphemistic sense of the word, in the literal sense. In the literal sense, explosions destroy things, and what Obama has set in motion is the utter and complete destruction of the American economy, and in that6 sense Bill Clinton was 100 percent accurate.

I watched the carnival sideshow last night (all that was missing was cotton candy and funnel cakes) whilst the cameras were scanning the freaks on the floor, I spotted a woman wearing a button that said “Sluts Vote”, with the “o” done in the Obama/Pepsi logo.
Classy.
When Bill Clinton took the stage last night most people failed to hear the tone of his message. Politicians speak in euphemistic terms as a general rule. Bill Clinton’s speech last night reversed the natural euphemistic order. Read the transcripts or listen to the speech again, only this time allow yourself to hear his opening line as being, ” I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them”.
Bill, like Barack Insane Obama, is a narcissist, sociopathic, pathological liar, but unlike Barack Insane Obama there is something that Bill Clinton loves even more than himself. That something else is the Democrat Party, and it was the Democrat Party that Bill Clinton appeared before the DNC to attempt to save, not Barack Insane Obama.
Hence like Mark Antony in Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar” who rises before Rome to attack Brutus and the other senators who betrayed and murdered Caesar, Bill Clinton isn’t there to “Praise” Caesar, or in this case Barack Insane Obama, but to bury him, and to do so by damned him with faint praise, Bill Clinton was there to save and protect the only thing he loves or cares about, the Democrat Party itself.
I’m getting so tired of people conflating marginal tax rates, effective tax rates, and actual tax dollars someone pays.
Some Dem shill just said that the average middle class American pays “35 per cent” in federal income tax.
If they do, they need to spend $49 and use TurboTax next year, since they clearly can’t follow directions. They might be in the 35% tax bracket, but they aren’t actually paying 35% of their income.
I know I personally typically pay somewhere around 10% most years, and I don’t do anything to shelter my income. I have a mortgage and student loans deductions, and that’s about it.

While that’s true, federal income tax per se is only part of the federal tax burden.
if you include both the taxpayer’s and the employer’s shares of Social Security and Medicare, as well as FUTA, that’ll bring the total federal tax bite up a lot higher than 10%. And let’s not even talk about fuel taxes, hidden regulatory compliance burdens, unfunded mandates imposed on state governments, and so on and so forth.
Fact is, the tax burden on both middle-class and wealthy Americans is way too high.
@ 1389AD:
Of course it is (although the Dems would disagree with you), but that’s another matter.
I’m just tired of them mixing their terms to lie about what people pay.
That is a GREAT picture of The baby-in-chief. I bet that Jarrett vets everybody largely because she knows just what sets him off into a tantrum. He cannot hear anything negative about himself because he’s DELUSIONAL. Not in the sense that he sees things that aren’t there, but because his image of himself is that he is better than everybody else. If he loses that, he’s got nothing.
@ yenta-fada:
If he wins, we’ve got nothing.
