Turning the Tables on Obama

What If?



On Thursday evening, President Obama proposed spending another $450 billion that we don’t have on a jobs program that we all know will not work. No government stimulus plan has ever worked since Hoover tried it in the early 1930s. Obama also promised that this new stimulus will be paid for without increasing the deficit.
Of course the second part is disingenuous at best. To promise the American public that it would be deficit neutral by suggesting to the congressional super committee that they work even harder to find another $450 billion to cut is outrageous, even for someone as unfamiliar with the truth as Obama. The sad fact is however, that a good portion of the American public still believes that he speaks the truth, and will probably vote for him in 2012. But what if we turn the tables on him? What would happen if Speaker Boehner called a joint press conference to respond to Obama's speech, as follows?
“My fellow Americans. What you heard Thursday night from President Obama, wasn't a speech about jobs and the economy, it was simply the formal kick off of the Obama re-election campaign. His strategy is simple. By putting forward a program of the same failed ideas that have been destroying our economy since he got elected, he can be secure in the knowledge that the GOP along with a substantial number of moderate democrats will never pass it. He's doing this so he can set himself up as the "jobs" candidate, so that a year or so from now, he can point to the Republican controlled House, and say that the problem is our fault and not his.

Well guess what, Mr. President, we’re onto your scheme. We’ve heard you blame President Bush, America’s doctors, the insurance companies, President Bush, the banks, Wall St., President Bush, and now you’re going to blame the Congress. Mr. President we've heard enough of your misrepresentations of the cause of our economic woes. It's easy now, for most Americans to see through your rhetoric after almost 3 years of your un-American ideas, and dreadful policies. So just to make sure that Americans who still believe in you, see the truth before November of 2012, here's what we're going to do. America’s current national debt is almost $15 trillion. Our unfunded liabilities for all the entitlements that we’ve promised to the American people, is another $115 trillion or so. You said that your jobs program is going to jump start the economy, and put America on the right track. Since you've already wasted several trillion dollars of our grandchildren's money, what's a few more dollars between friends? Another $450 billion won’t materially change our situation at this point. So we're going to pass your destructive jobs bill, just as you presented it, and then, a year from now, the American public will be able to see for themselves, the fruits of your progressive, socialist ideology, and whether or not you actually paid for it, as you promised on Thursday you would. Perhaps after another $450 billion is wasted on unsustainable green jobs, and other hand outs to your friends and supporters, the American public will finally learn first hand what the rest of the world is already beginning to understand, that governments doesn’t create jobs, business creates jobs. And in order for them to do so, the entrepreneurs and owners of American businesses need to be freed from the unbearable burden of Federal taxation and regulations. The public will finally learn that people with ambition, will only take the risks needed to grow the economy if they're reasonably certain that they'll be able to keep the fruits of their labors. They won’t take those risks when they know that a bunch of elitist politicians will take their hard earned money and use it to buy votes from the corrupt unions that have milked American industry dry over the last 50 years. When that happens, the honest and hard working members of those unions will finally realize that if their corrupt union leaders hadn't given away their pension fund money to these same liberal democratic politicians at every election, they wouldn't have to depend upon the American taxpayers to subsidize their bankrupt pensions and retirement plans. They'll finally learn that the oftentimes outlandish salaries and benefits that their unions have negotiated for them over the years, mean nothing when all their jobs are shipped overseas because the high cost of union labor in this country, makes it impossible for America to compete in the world marketplace. So Mr. President, we're going to give you everything you ask for, and let the results speak for themselves. Then perhaps you, and your inner circle of progressive socialists, whose only interest is power, along with the liberal elites in Hollywood and the media who fawn over you will finally learn what we in the GOP have known all along. They’ll learn that the only thing that you can do for our economy, that will restore America as the richest and most productive nation on earth, is to get the hell out of its way, and watch how quickly the American business community and our incredible labor force restores the American Dream for our grandchildren, and for future generations of Americans. Every day we see the unfolding of the end of European socialism and the welfare states it’s created. As the European nations like Greece, Ireland, and Spain go bankrupt, the rest of the world is beginning to see that their socialist governments can never be sustainable. They're beginning to see that there's no such thing as a free lunch. They're beginning to see that nothing is free, and that someone always has to pay the bill. America’s only a few years behind them, but we've been catching up with them really fast since you were elected, Mr. President. Clearly that was your goal from the very beginning.  It’s often said that drug addicts can't begin to recover until they reach bottom. Well Republicans don't want to see America reach bottom because of her addiction to government handouts and entitlements. Republicans are hoping that we can help enough Americans to finally realize the dreadful consequences of your far left liberal progressive political ideology, before we sink that low. Republicans are hoping that we don't have to witness the complete destruction of our country and our way of life before we can start rebuilding it. America promises us only three things Mr. President, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. As a constitutional scholar, you should know however that it doesn't promise us happiness, only that we'll be free to pursue it. Well that happiness, that we all strive for, doesn't mean a damn thing if a bunch of socialists can take it away from the ones who earn it in order to buy the votes to keep themselves in power. Republicans know that that's what you're doing with your liberal progressive policies. The proper job of the government in America is to protect the individual rights of our citizens, not to level the playing field or to spread the wealth around. What's even worse however, than what you’re doing to our economy, is the way you’re stealing the very freedoms and liberties that our founding fathers tried to insure for us with our Constitution. Republicans want to restore those stolen freedoms and liberties to the American people, and with the help of the American electorate, that’s what we’re going to do 14 months from now. If I may paraphrase the words of Dr Adrain Rogers:
When half of the people get the idea they don't have to work because somebody else will provide for them, and the other half to gets the idea that it does no good to work because they don't get to enjoy the fruits of their labors, then that's the end of the American Dream.
We know what you’re doing Mr. President, and we’re not going to let you get away with it! Thank you, and may God bless America.”
