Op-ed:
ObamaCare vs. the debt ceiling...and the oceans might get to stay open
Obama's
one and only mission at this time...with the aid of the media of
course...is to divert and deflect attention away from at least some of
his many PR faux pas...faux pas like his ObamaCare fiasco...his
dishonoring of our WWII vets by barricading the entrance to their
memorial...his shutting down of American D-Day cemeteries
and beaches at Normandy...his shutting down the oceans to fishing (NOT
kidding
with this one)...his closing of our open-air national parks and
monuments...his locking down of privately funded museums and parks...his forcing people out of their privately owned homes built on federal land (YES, he's actually kicking people out of homes they own outright), his having the DOJ shut down the amber alert system website, and
of course his making sure that the upcoming debt ceiling debates will turn into one big free-for-all partisan face off.
And
with Obama wanting...demanding actually...that the debt ceiling be raised so he
can borrow even more money from and be even more beholden to foreign governments...then the Republican trade-off for that
MUST emphatically be to have ObamaCare pulled out of the general budget and
made into a 'stand alone' bill* for a 'stand alone' bill is the key to
defunding, delaying, and even doing away with this monstrosity of a health care
bill that the majority of the American people do NOT want now or ever.
ObamaCare vs. the debt ceiling...and the oceans might get to stay open
By: Diane Sori
Obama's
one and only mission at this time...with the aid of the media of
course...is to divert and deflect attention away from at least some of
his many PR faux pas...faux pas like his ObamaCare fiasco...his
dishonoring of our WWII vets by barricading the entrance to their
memorial...his shutting down of American D-Day cemeteries
and beaches at Normandy...his shutting down the oceans to fishing (NOT
kidding
with this one)...his closing of our open-air national parks and
monuments...his locking down of privately funded museums and parks...his forcing people out of their privately owned homes built on federal land (YES, he's actually kicking people out of homes they own outright), his having the DOJ shut down the amber alert system website, and
of course his making sure that the upcoming debt ceiling debates will turn into one big free-for-all partisan face off.
But let's NOT forget that Camp David is being kept open during
the
shutdown for the personal
use of the 'anointed one' as are military golf courses in the DC and
surrounding areas because poor stressed-out Obama needs golf to
relax (gagging), while at the same time the Pentagon is cutting off
sports
coverage to hundreds of thousands of troops around the world as the
Armed
Forces Network has announced that "due to the government shutdown, the
Defense Department can only provide limited overseas television, radio,
print
and web services."
And yet amidst all this chaos VP Joe 'Bite Me'
Biden has time to declare with much fanfare a proclamation for National Chess Week.
And if all that's NOT enough now add in for good measure a bit of Obama's
famous narcissistic bravado...and the sure to follow photo ops and television
bloviations we know are coming...as the in-his-pocket media floods the airways
with the oh so 'conveniently timed' breaking news that after 15 long years our Special
Forces...on Obama's orders...have suddenly and miraculously 'snatched' off the streets of Tripoli, Libya, Abu Anas al-Liby, the man indicted in 2000 for his role in the 1998 bombings of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
On Obama's orders to 'GO'...yet he gave NO orders to 'GO' when our
Benghazi compound was being attacked and where he sat back and callously watched
four Americans die...as coming to the rescue in Benghazi would have been
betraying those whose loyalties he really is aligned with...just saying.
And all this goes on while we still have NO budget.
Sickening isn't it...and such is life under Obama's wanted government shutdown. YES...Obama indeed wants this government
shutdown NO matter his words to the contrary...and YES he's using the shutdown
to try to do everything possible to break the spirit of 'We the People' for
it's 'We the People' who are bearing the burden of Obama's traitorous ineptitude
and miserably failed presidency, while he blames Republicans and especially the
Tea Party in the process.
But rest assured that while some might bend we will NOT break...especially
we who are Tea Party members...sadly I can't say as much for most of our Republican
politicians in DC.
And
as Obama initiates one ludicrous
closing after another to test our fortitude, I can't help but say at
least a
little something about one of the most outright in-your-face ludicrous
closings of
all as this 'empty suit' president is now having National Park Service
Rangers prevent anyone from fishing in Florida Bay until all federal
employees come off furlough and go back to work. That means that Rangers
who are NOT really accustomed to patrolling anything but dry land must
now patrol more than 1,100 square miles of water from the southern tip
of Florida's
mainland to the Keys until further notice...and Obama is spending our
'taxpayer
dollars on this complete and total foolishness when we are seriously
running
out of money to pay our bills.
But foolish things is what fools do...and
sadly our country has a fool for a president who was elected by fools who only cared
about getting their 'free stuff.'
And
yet there still remains one glimmer of hope...one way out of this mess...but it
can only happen if ALL Republicans stand strong and united...as in RINOS shut
the hell up...for the key to NOT only totally humiliating Barack HUSSEIN Obama,
Prince Harry Reid, and Wicked Witch of La-Lafornia Nancy Pelosi, while at the
same time killing the health care monster that bears his name...or at least
sending it into NO funding oblivion...is the simple fact that NO budget for the
upcoming 2014 fiscal year has yet been approved.
And
with Obama wanting...demanding actually...that the debt ceiling be raised so he
can borrow even more money from and be even more beholden to foreign governments...then the Republican trade-off for that
MUST emphatically be to have ObamaCare pulled out of the general budget and
made into a 'stand alone' bill* for a 'stand alone' bill is the key to
defunding, delaying, and even doing away with this monstrosity of a health care
bill that the majority of the American people do NOT want now or ever.
And
while raising the debt ceiling has obvious pitfalls of its own...like giving Obama the
opportunity to spend even more money thus adding fuel to the fire of our
already out of control national debt...what most do NOT realize is that we
actually reached the debt ceiling limit back in May. However, the Treasury
Department then tapped into exchange-rate funds and by doing so was able to
garner $303 billion in extra funds allowing us to NOT actually run out of money
to pay our bills until the end of October.
(By the way there's NO mention of debt ceilings
in the Constitution, and many 'democratic' nations including Britain, Canada, Germany, Japan, Australia, and France have NO debt ceiling at all and function quite successfully.)
Yet
Obama knows that if the debt ceiling is NOT raised that checks will soon start
to bounce or payments to bondholders will be missed possibly causing global
financial markets...markets that believed US Treasuries to be the safest asset
in the world....to falter with some even collapsing. And NOT paying our loans on
time to major bondholders...say to China...would make for some very unhappy bondholders. So to avoid this Obama will
have to make some sort of deal with Republicans to assure that bondholders are
indeed paid on time...and the only way to do that is to raise the debt ceiling.
What
better trade off for that is there than the ultimate bargaining
chip...ObamaCare.
Now
if only Republicans would wake up and realize that this and this alone is the
key to NOT only making ObamaCare go away, but is also the key to ending the
government shutdown and for stopping the ridiculous closing of things that had
NO business being closed in the first place.
