Lies, Lies, and Damnable Lies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama's so-called Debt Commission is providing a perfect illustration how the politics of Washington are toxic to the survival of this nation. It does not matter whether we are talking about Democrats or Republicans, when the game is pure politics, the good of the Nation is certain to suffer. Read it all here, but here are some of the tidbits;

The co-chairmen of President Obama's debt and deficit commission offered an ominous assessment of the nation's fiscal future here Sunday, calling current budgetary trends a cancer "that will destroy the country from within" unless checked by tough action in Washington. We need a commission to know this?

There are many who hope we fail," Simpson said at the closing session of the National Governors Association annual meeting. He called the 18-member commission "good people with deep, deep differences" who know the odds of success "are rather harrowing Actually we don't know why you exist except to provide Obama with political cover after the November elections to ram through a VAT tax

And my favorite,

Bowles said that unlike the current economic crisis, which was largely unforeseen before it hit in fall 2008, the coming fiscal calamity is staring the country in the face. "This one is as clear as a bell," he said. "This debt is like a cancer Who are you kidding, lots folks were horrified at the Fannie and Freddie mortgage lending practices which created the housing bubble and enriched their executives by fraudulent bookkeeping.

And then the coup de grace;

Bowles and Simpson said the commission would have had a stronger hand politically had it been created by Congress, rather than through an executive order. Simpson was pointed in his criticism of seven Republicans who once co-sponsored such a measure but who helped block it in the Senate.

"As far as I can discern, it was to stick it to the president," Simpson said

Ahhhhhh, you see, poor President Obama, he was just a victim!

This is nothing more than a soap opera of epic proportions, get the tissues out, it is bitter tears time........

The Constitution of the United States is our roadmap out of this mess. For these clowns to insult a gathering of the governors of the United States with this tripe is ego at the highest level.
