White House Gives In On Bush Tax Cuts

Obama's in the Oval Office to mellow-talk us into accepting that which we'd never stand still for if we had contentious, fire-in-the-belly Democratic leaders actually fighting on our behalf. Obama's in the White House to talk our rational minds into accepting the greatest heist in the history of the world being perpetrated on us, and never even think about trying to get back the money that was ripped off from the middle & poor classes, and to ease our transition into a third world nation.

Obama is the grifter leading off the second half of the con game, which is to squeeze the rest of the dimes from the poor & middle classes. That began with part 2 of Bush's Medicare Reform Act of 2003 (high-priced junk health insurance that has no cost controls), and continues with his Debt Commission that's going to cut Social Security & Medicare, privatize the Social Security trust fund, then follow up with more *AFTA treaties which will outsource of the rest of Americans' jobs. 

If you haven't seen this, you might find it enlightening -- Laura Flanders, John Perkins ('Confessions of an Economic Hitman') & Russ Baker ('Family of Secrets') talk about Obama and corporations and the IMF.

Debt Commission Report Targets Social Security, Medicare

I think that 'briefing' is one of those urban legends, concocted by baffled onlookers who are at a loss to explain the newly elected president's dramatic flip-flops on all campaign promises.

It's easier to believe that Obama is being blackmailed (or as I have quipped, "Has anyone seen Michelle's mother since Inauguration Day?") than to accept that we've been flim-flammed.

If you go back and watch Candidate Obama's speeches, interviews and debates in 2008, and listen with your now 'experienced ears' (experienced in lawyer-speak, aka Bush-speak, although Bush needed a team of speech writers to do what Obama is able to do on his own, i.e., think on his feet), I think you'll see that Obama spoke carefully and precisely to give people the sense of what they wanted to hear to get their vote. It's why even among his most ardent admirers, they still argue about whether he's a liberal or a centrist or a moderate Republican.  He convinced centrists that he was a centrist.  He convinced liberals he was a liberal posing as a centrist.  

Obama's nothing but a politician, and I mean that in the worst sense of the word.  In the 'used car salesman' sense.  It turns out that doing what's right for transnational corporations is what Obama is about, and trying to sell it as good for Americans is what he does afterwards. He's the epitome of the 1950s Republican, "What's good for GM is good for America."

Obama did a snow job on everybody.

White House Gives In On Bush Tax Cuts

This means we have to borrow $700 billion.  

Extending Bush's tax cuts is adding another $700 billion onto the deficit.

This isn't a tax cut; it's a tax increase.

Here's Austan Goolsbee, Obama's own chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, talking against it:

"Our goal is to shrink government to the size where we can drown it in a bathtub."

-Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, and George W. Bush's one-a-week­-lunch-bud­dy for the eight years of the Bush-Cheney Administration


Looks like Norquist and Bush exceeded their own wildest dreams.

Ten Flash Points In The Fiscal Commission Chairmen's Proposal

I think this was the other shoe dropping, StellaRay, from last week's election.

I think it's a foregone conclusion that American life as we've all known it is all downhill from here.  They managed to keep us from realizing the extent of the devastation, until they had all the ducks lined up for liquidation (and as long as we didn't realize the extent of the problem), but once that happened (last week's election was a show of the People's hand, that we're not going along with it), that's why this was leaked today.  With Obama out of the country, to keep him still removed somewhat.
