Obama's Banana Republic

[freedombecki]

Charles Krauthammer sez so.

Please first read article, then post your thoughts.

Krauthammer on Obamacare employer mandate delay: ?This is stuff you do in a banana republic? » The Right Scoop -

 

[TemplarKormac]

What Krauthammer says is correct. Delaying this mandate is similar to bloodletting or something similar. It doesn't matter how long you put it off, it will arrive and take you the party down with it.

Charles is spot on of course. I think America has realized they screwed the pooch, not once, but twice long after it was considered 'cool' voting for the first black POTUS.

Correctamundo, Charles.

And why isn't Obama being called out on it?

Because you can't have the impression of racism

They can take that race garbage and shove it up their collectivist asses sideways. it's old, tired, and wrong.

Reminds me of Robert Ruark's book, Uhuru!

What comes around goes around. This bozo paves the way for executive orders for any future president who isn't a statist to do whatever the fuck he wants and it'll be all stuff the progressives hate.


Frankly, use of executive orders by either side is BS and I don't condone it.......nor should any other American.

 

[mudwhistle]

He's already delayed the thing for 5 years.

I suspected the reason was so it wouldn't ruin his re-election chances.

 

[Rocko]

I have a feeling the mandate will never be implemented.

Remember when Bush just said it would be easier to be a dictator? Remember the vitriol hatred from the left and the poison they spewed? Now Obama admits to being a dictator and the left is silent. Read this then the link afterwards and we will see who Obama is channeling.

Obama: 'I Can Do Whatever I Want' | The Weekly Standard

Monticello

At 4:45 POTUS and president Hollande walked out from a portico and strolled in Front of your pool with Leslie Bowman, president of the Monticello Foundation. Looking at a terrace she said that Jefferson loved to admire the landscape from there. POTUS said that he'd like to take a look and seemed delighted to "break the protocol".
"That's the good thing as a President, I can do whatever I want" he quipped, walking to the terrace with his guest and Ms. Bowman. Pool now in the mansion as the leaders will come and visit Jefferson's study.

Of course what Obama was referring to was changing protocol but none the less it exposes his mindset.

Wow. This topic has been deep-sixed by those left of the aisle.

 

[mudwhistle]

Wow. This topic has been deep-sixed by those left of the aisle.

It's a truth they can't argue against.

We should hang Bush and Cheney for war crimes.

Wow. This topic has been deep-sixed by those left of the aisle.

Of course they did. This topic remains unanswered by them because they can't defend it and be able to defend themselves either. To do so would be tantamount to admitting they're supporting a Dictator.

 

[mudwhistle]

Imagine,...... a bill that Obama wants to wait 8 years for it to go into effect.

Makes sense.

 

[mudwhistle]

We should hang Bush and Cheney for war crimes.

What are the charges????

That was a joke, referring to going off course in the Monticello gaden with Hollande, semi-racist dingbats.

op- Actually, the nonrich in banana republics don't have health care. Krauthammer is a bought off lying charlatan at this point, whatever he says- just repeats the bs line now...

It's Reaganism that's been turning us into a banana republic for 30 years. Won't really change until the rich are taxed their fair share and we start to invest in our infrastructure and people again.

What are the charges????

Using chemical weapons in Fallujah, torturing POWs to death in secret prisons, drone strikes on civilians, lying to the United Nations, using false intelligence to justify preemptive war.
