Weapons of Mass Diversion

Well, Vice of Mice Joe Biden has done it again. Like a child he says the darnedest things. Recently, he admitted that the Obama administration “mis-underestimated” the badness of the economy. On ThisWeek, when asked about the wonderful 9.5% unemployment rate, the worst in 26 years, he said, “The economy was worse than we thought.” Wait, wasn’t this the dynamic duo that told America it was the worst economy in 50 years?

Of course, that’s what “Commie-crats” always say when a Republican is president. It doesn’t matter whether the Dow Jones is a record 14000, or unemployment is a record low at 4.6%.

Biden also said that all we need to keep from going bankrupt was to spend money. This comes from a guy who criticized Bush on the economy mercilessly, and his attacks haven’t abated either, for he added, “And so the truth is, there was a misreading of just how bad an economy we inherited.”

Conversely, Obama said, “In a little over 100 days, this recovery act has worked as intended.” Yet, he predicted that with its passage unemployment wouldn’t go above 8%. It’s 9.5% and still climbing. Some claim that Obama’s “stimulus” plan, the one “the One” told us was absolutely necessary, isn’t working. Actually, it’s working perfectly because it was never intended as stimulus. For it’s always been “Stick It To Us.”

Even though out of almost $800 billion, only $60 billion has been spent, Obama claims that this mere pittance has saved America from the brink while her economy could be about to sink. Normally, if a Republican administration had such a mixed message, the DNC sycophant media would have droned endlessly about the incompetence.

But, if Democrat rhetoric is to be believed that incurring massive debt and spending inefficiently on mostly useless pork barrel projects really stimulates an economy, then why has so little been spent. The fact is Democrats don’t plan to spend the money until 2010 or later. So, if they really cared about the unfortunate unemployed, wouldn’t it be better to spend now?

What America has now is a party totally into buying and stealing elections. 2010 is another election year, and Democrats will use “stimulus” to employ an army to basically canvas for votes helping Democrats. And with ACORN creating non-existent voters, and Holder’s “injustice department” giving the racist group, Black Panthers, a pass to intimidate at the polls, 2010 will definitely be tough for the opposition despite an electorate turning against the change of “Cap and Trade” and outrageously expensive “Health Care Reform.”

Naturally, these bills should have 24/7 coverage as well as rigorous debate, but instead it is barely mentioned. Instead Michael Jackson’s death gets total attention. But as that story wanes, Democrats already have another story to divert the attention for those only casually involved in politics.

For Democrats are really good at diversion especially using their sycophant media. Sometimes it’s a natural event like Jackson. Now it’s a scandal involving Dick Cheney, a.k.a. Darth Vader to liberals, who was investigating the possibility of assassinating Al Qaeda leaders, oh no.

Now this program was authorized by congress back in 2002. It had a budget of a whooping $1 million, and it never amounted too much not even to the level where the president was briefed.

Anyway, Predator Drone missions, that Democrats somehow still permit, accomplish the same mission albeit with more collateral damage. With assignations, targets are limited to a specific person. Bombs tend to hurt those around the target, and I thought the Democrats cared about terrorists and their families.

Yet, congress wasn’t briefed until Leon Penatta, CIA director, did so in supposedly a classified meeting. Where congress killed it immediately, though they theoretically didn’t disagree with its mission. Afterwards someone or some party released the classified information to the press for the sole purpose of creating another pseudo scandal.

Americans losing their jobs in droves are supposed to get upset over a program that didn’t spend much, didn’t do much, wasn’t controversial at all, but only because congress wasn’t briefed! Give me a break! They want Americans to mind the millions while trillion get undermined.

Some theorize that Democrats are just creating this smoke screen to protect Nancy Pelosi after she made unsubstantiated charges that the CIA lied to congress. But Democrats are fairly certain that her quick, unplanned jaunt to China was all that was needed to solve that little peccadillo, out of sight no longer a blight.

Had Squeaker Pelosi been a Republican, the sycophant DNC media would have had her for lunch and then some. Alas, she’s a Democrat, and they’ll only cover the story as long as her stupidity, or in other words, her sticking her foot in her month forces them to report it.
