Obamanomics, Part?

The NYT ran a transcript of B Hussein's oratory last night at the DNC. I found this part very interesting:

OBAMA: And I'll invest $150 billion over the next decade in affordable, renewable sources of energy -- wind power, and solar power (OTCBB:SOPW) , and the next generation of biofuels -- an investment that will lead to new industries and 5 million new jobs that pay well and can't be outsourced.


I did not know B Hussein had $150B? What he really meant to say, I guess, is that he would take $150B of taxpayer money and distribute that money to several companies that are politically well connected to certain members of Congress. That is $150B that taxpayers won't have to spend on things they value.

If you have health care -- if you have health care, my plan will lower your premiums. If you don't, you'll be able to get the same kind of coverage that members of Congress give themselves.
Really? Just how is he going to force my insurance company to lower my premiums? Are citizens going to have to work to get the same benefits that Congress receives? I know Congress does nothing, but that is only 535 people. Adding 50 million people to that benefit is no small cost.

Now is the time to change our bankruptcy laws, so that your pensions are protected ahead of CEO bonuses, and the time to protect Social Security for future generations.

And now is the time to keep the promise of equal pay for an equal day's work, because I want my daughters to have the exact same opportunities as your sons.

Pensions are protected. The government already has an insurance programs for such cases. But how is he going to protect Social Security? 2% of the population cannot support the benefits for the other 98% forever.

I guess B Hussein has not checked any studies that show there is equal pay for equal work. Differences in work history and tenure are the biggest reason for pay differentials, not sex. If companies could get away with hiring women at a big discount to men, they would. It would be a tremendous cost advantage that would essentially force their competitors out of business.

Individual responsibility and mutual responsibility, that's the essence of America's promise. And just as we keep our promise to the next generation here at home, so must we keep America's promise abroad.

Individual responsibility? Since when did B Hussein encourage this? The massive social programs he proposes encourage dependency, not responsibility.

The -- the reality of gun ownership may be different for hunters in rural Ohio than they are for those plagued by gang violence in Cleveland, but don't tell me we can't uphold the Second Amendment while keeping AK-47s out of the hands of criminals.
When is the last time you heard of AK-47s being used in crimes in this country? This isn't the Middle East. Everyone knows that a Glock 9mm is a much better urban weapon. That proves B Hussein is not connected to the inner city.

I've seen it in Washington, where we worked across party lines to open up government and hold lobbyists more accountable, to give better care for our veterans, and keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of terrorists.
Since when have you been in DC B Husein? From January of this year, there have been 32 votes on spending and appropriations. B Hussein made 7 of them. The rest were non-votes. Care for Veterans? You think B Hussein has heard of Walter Reed? He wants to keep nukes out of Iran's hands...by asking them!

The Democrat ticket is destructive. Having a Democrat in the White House and control of Congress lead to the New Deal and the Great Society programs. We will truly be bankrupt as a country if B Hussein gets the keys.
