Obama's First Fumble

by Christopher Chantrill - February 5th, 2009 - American Thinker

The vast majority of upscale Americans, particularly those that work in the non-union private sector, live a life that you never see on the MSM, and you never hear about from a liberal politician. They work in Ownership Nation where they are encouraged to "own" problems and solve them rather than squabble about who was to blame. It's different in the political world of government and unionized work-places. In political Blame Nation you get ahead by sticking the blame on the other guy before he gets a chance to blame you.

Most ordinary people work in Team America. They are trained to work in teams, competing according to the rules against other teams. It's different in the political world of government and unionized work-places. There you'll find Gang America, where you stick together, go along to get along, to game the rules and loot the system.

I am still amazed at the number of Republicans who are so ignorant of the way that our economy works that they actually talk about how it will look when the economy recovers in spite of the Obama economic plan. They are thus proving that they do not really believe the basic premise of the libertarian-conservative philosophies on which our party is built. They are the very people who went along with the Bush-Rove bankrupting of our government. Republicans talk about taking their party back. Yet a major element that wants to take it back are these same "compassionate conservative" socialists that started the process of bankrupting our nation while Republicans were in charge.

How do we get them to understand what they have done? How do we get them to believe in the dire consequences that Obama is bringing about with his NEW - NEW DEAL socialism?
