Obama: Our First Post-Racial Failure

Obama: Our First Post-Racial Failure
By Stuart Schwartz
Barack Obama has become the nation's first post-racial failure...and we are all the stronger for it. After almost two years in office, he is living proof that America has managed to safely cross the racial divide. Failure is no longer the sole preserve of white presidents and Caucasian New York Times publishers. Obama has fashioned what Harvard historians would call a watershed in modern American history, right up there with the creation of MSNBC and the 1978 Star Wars Christmas television special, Happy Life Day. He has failed.

Indeed, Obama has failed so obviously and on such a grand scale that historians will look back in awe from an exceptionally American future and say that his presidency inarguably established as truism that failure knows no color, and fecklessness transcends all races and religions. Generations of schoolchildren will learn that obtuseness is not the sole preserve of the DNA strands that weave their way toward a pale John Kerry or inextricably combine to produce a lighter-shade-of-pale Jimmy Carter.

Barack Obama has failed not because he is black, but, as one reader put it, because "everything he has done or wants to do is a disaster!" For the country, that is -- Democrat leadership, the faculty lounge, and the Upper West Side of Manhattan view Obama's governance and our misery as success...but that's another story for another day. The rest of the nation, however, sees a decimated free market, out-of-control regulation, shrinking liberty, and historic deficits fueling a descent into what Thomas Lifson terms "progressive feudalism," in which "even the most mundane tasks" will be regulated by government. And we don't like it.

Aw, c'mon, s--t--it's still early days

That's it, "it's still early days." is that all you have?

That scares the hell out of me because Obama has already added More to our National Debt in First 19 Months Than All Presidents from Washington Through Reagan Combined!

In the first 19 months of the Obama administration, the federal debt held by the public increased by $2.5260 trillion, which is more than the cumulative total of the national debt held by the public that was amassed by all U.S. presidents from George Washington through Ronald Reagan.

And your telling me it's still early!

Is that all you have? Or did you just copy & paste that comment from here.

The budget deficit for the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30 was just under $1.3 trillion -- and that's good news, in a way, for President Obama.

After all, this was the first full fiscal year of his presidency. The record $1.4 trillion deficit for the 2009 fiscal year began accumulating Oct. 1, 2008, when George W. Bush was still in office. So the red ink is finally fading a bit.

The latest estimates are courtesy of the Congressional Budget Office, which earlier this year projected the 2010 deficit at $1.34 trillion. It came in at $1.29 trillion -- $50 billion less than anticipated, due to higher corporate tax revenue and lower spending on bank and other financial institution bailouts.

That's still 8.9% of the nation's economy, a huge number that Obama hopes to reduce to about 5% by the middle of the decade. But it's less than 10%, the portion of the economy represented by the 2009 deficit. Those are the two worst deficit levels since 1945.

So far everything Obama has done has been a disaster so who cares what he says he is going to do and even believes he can.

Isn't it time you lefties start taking responsibility for your regime's failures? Even the uninformed Democratic voters are catching on to the "everything is Bush's fault baloney!"

Bush had to deal with a Democtratic controlled house and senate through most of his presidency, so with a Democratic controlled house and senate now what's Obama,s excuse?

Ha! Ha! November is coming and I can't wait!
