Rush has been saying this for a couple of years. Hillyer joins.
President Obama wants a crisis. He plans to use a crisis to seize even more power for himself and for the government. Now he is a significant step closer to his goal. Despite his finger-pointing con-job in his nasty press conference this afternoon, Obama is the one who deliberately torpedoed the budget talks. He is the one who has yet to put an actual plan on the table. He is the one who refused to even let GOP negotiators talk. He is the one who insisted through most of the year that no other provisions be attached to the hike in the debt limit — that the debt limit hike should be “clean” rather than include even a single cost saving. Now, as Speaker John Boehner just said, and as so many others have said in less vivid language, “dealing with the president is like negotiating with a bowl of Jello.” He just won’t stay still. And he’s doing it on purpose. He’s doing it because he doesn’t want a deal. He wants a crisis...
Alliteration points here:
...he has been fibbing, faking, and fulminating.
And that, my friends, is straight from the Alinsky/Totalitarian playbook.

The Wall Cracks; US Debt Downgraded
Actual news instead of Obozo campaign bullshit:
Reuters reported that the credit rating agency Egan-Jones has in fact become the first rating agency to downgrade the U.S. rating.
Most of you understand the REAL reason for the downgrade:
...the cut is due the U.S. debt load standing at more than 100 percent of its gross domestic product. This compares with Canada, for example, which has a debt-to-GDP ratio of 35 percent, Egan-Jones said in a report sent on Saturday. [CANADA??]
If you believe Obozo and McConnell, your refrigerator will be empty tomorrow AND your mortgage-interest rate should go to 15%. Dow should drop to ~6,000 on Monday.
Or something.

DeMint the Warrior
AOSHQ relays DeMint's statement.
...“I will work to force another vote on Cut, Cap & Balance next week because the President and Democrats have not offered the American people any other viable solution.
...“I will work to force another vote on Cut, Cap & Balance next week because the President and Democrats have not offered the American people any other viable solution.
“It is outrageous that every Senate Democrat voted against even allowing a debate on balancing the budget within 10 years, a plan supported by two-thirds of Americans with wide support across all party lines. Why are Senate Democrats so afraid to debate a balanced budget? Cut, Cap, Balance is the compromise plan that passed the House and can end the wasteful spending that caused this debt crisis. It gives the President the debt limit increase he has asked for in return for immediate spending cuts, enforceable spending caps, and a constitutional amendment to force Washington to stop spending more than it brings in....
It would take only FOUR (D) Senators who have some integrity (I know.....) to push CCB over the top. Herbie?
Herbie? Where ARE you, Herbie??
I'm not enthused about an Amendment to force Congress to do what it should do in the first damn place, but given that the vast majority of the bozos in Congress are craven fraudsters, serial liars, and general scumbuckets-with-pretty-hair, then let's do it.

Walker's Gift to City of Milwaukee: $40 Million
Barrett ought to be kissing Walker's.....ahhhh......toes.
The Milwaukee Finance & Personnel Committee approved an ordinance Friday to increase employees' share of health care costs, including a new requirement that employees pay 12% of their premiums - a $2,000 increase next year for a family of four - out of pocket. The full council will consider the measure Tuesday.
...The city's Department of Employee Relations estimates the changes will reduce health care spending by $25 million, to $112 million in 2012, instead of the average $15 million increase of recent years.
That would be a total of $40 million in one year.

WEAC Stamps Its Widdle Footie
We're shocked! SHOCKED!!! to learn that WEAC will not be part of the solution.
The state's largest teachers union will not participate in a governor's task force to develop a new system for assessing school quality in Wisconsin, the head of the Wisconsin Education Association Council announced Friday.
Thus WEAC will become the "formerly largest teachers' union" and in 20 years be a historical footnote.

What's With the Illegal-Alien Driving Stuff??
The rules of the road in Mexico are obviously different, eh, senor?
A West Allis man was charged Friday with second-degree recklessly endangering safety after being arrested for driving in the wrong direction of I-43 in Milwaukee.
...Because a translator was needed, Rodriguez-Benitez was taken to the County Correctional Facility-Central for a field sobriety test and registered a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.25, according to the sheriff's office. A level of 0.08 is legal proof of intoxication for motorists in Wisconsin...
That's 300%, for you innumerates. And the "needs translator" stuff is clear.
Another driver smashed his car into a retaining wall to avoid a collision.
That driver was lucky.
ANOTHER illegal:
An illegal immigrant charged with driving drunk in the wrong direction on I-94 in Milwaukee and causing a crash that killed a 34-year-old woman was sentenced Friday to 15 years in prison and ordered to serve seven years on extended supervision, according to WTMJ-TV (Channel 4).
Draw your own conclusions.

Tantalizing "Missing Files" Story
This could be a case of someone putting stuff where it doesn't belong. Happens all the time.
Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. ordered an investigation Friday into files that his office said are missing from the Milwaukee County Retirement System office.
Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. ordered an investigation Friday into files that his office said are missing from the Milwaukee County Retirement System office.
Clarke announced the investigation in a three-sentence news release that stated no further information would be provided until the investigation is completed.
Retirement system manager Gerald Schroeder declined to comment when reached by telephone Friday night.
Or it could be a lot more. Apparently the records included names, addresses, SSANs, and bank info for a LOT of people.
Sure. "It's the PRESS' Fault!" Says Obozo
What a maroon this guy really is.
In the midst of a showdown over how the government will increase the debt ceiling by Aug. 2, President Barack Obama blamed a splintered news media for lack of compromise between the parties ...
Next, it will be the fault of the zombies, or the weather. Maybe it's the radio waves from the sun!
...and stressed that President Abraham Lincoln believed in compromise.
Is this some sort of warning? That he'll send the Army to "compromise" with the Republicans?

You Would NOT Buy a Car From Obozo
It's not the first time that Obozo has made a deal, then changed the deal.
But it may be the last time.
Boehner's going to work with Senile Harry; although Harry may change the deal, it's only because he didn't remember the thing, which is acceptable.
Other deals Obozo changed or "forgot"? Gitmo. Afghanistan. Abortion in ObozoCare. The Israel relationship. Immigration.
You would NOT buy a car--used or new--from that turkey. Why buy your future from him?

Back to Being Boehned Again
Flip, flop, flip, flop.....yesterday, he was Boehning us, then maybe not so.
Now back to full Boenhing.
There are three issues heavily weighing President Obama down as he heads into reelection in 2012: 1) the economy; 2) the debt; and 3) Obamacare. The deal Obama is crafting with Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, would appear to completely neutralize issues two and three.

According to The New York Times, Boehner is in negotiations with Obama on a long-term debt deal that would include a trigger for an automatic tax hike in exchange for a repeal of Obamacare’s individual mandate.
How About That PRChina "Leadership"?
Oh, yah. Totalitarianism is SO good!
China’s state media once trumpeted the trains’ top speed of 210-236 mph as the fastest in the world, but the trains were never designed to run above 186 mph. In April, they were slowed accordingly. Caxin.com, the website of China’s leading business and finance publication, reports that the “high-speed bubble” was all a “naked, systemic lie,” concocted and fanned by the Railways Ministry.
By the way, those are NON-Union enterprises.
Barnum was right: there's a sucker born every minute. Here's ours:
President Obama warned in his 2011 State of the Union address that China’s meteoric economic rise threatens to leave America in the dust and exhorted Congress to substantially increase federal investments to increase American competitiveness.

Meanwhile, most Chinese citizens cannot afford to ride the shiny new trains and have opted instead to pack into buses for their long-distance travel.
Obviously, PRChina lacks lawyers and accountants, or the trains would be full of them, like the Chicago/Milwaukee run.
When preferential government subsidies (such as free land and cheap loans) for the state firms are factored in, the real return on equity registers at an embarrassing -1.47%.
Moreover, 70% of all net profits made by China’s centrally owned enterprises in 2009 are derived from merely ten companies that have been bestowed heavy market advantages by the state.By the way, those are NON-Union enterprises.

Such thinking ignores the serious problems lurking beneath China’s economic glitz and spending onslaught. To combat the financial crisis, Beijing pushed out a 4 trillion yuan ($619.1 billion) stimulus package and encouraged lending by state banks that totaled, by some estimates, 20 trillion yuan ($3.1 trillion) in 2009 and 2010. Two years later today, Beijing is staring at piles of bad debt that may imperil China’s broader financial health.
Should we pursue the course apparently advocated by Obozo?
...China’s state-directed capitalism presses forward without any political accountability and imposes inherent obstacles to the free market. The country continues to produce not just persecuted religious believers, jailed political dissidents, and a censored media; it is also home to immense waste and jarring inefficiencies.
Totalitarianism: looks great on the outside. Deathly on the inside.
Stories for Your Children's Bedtime!
New feature here, which depends entirely on continuing production from Planet Moron.
It has been a rite of passage for generations now. As the heat of summer presses in, young children across the country excitedly set up tables and chairs, mix up large batches of ice cold lemonade, set out cups, and create hand-scrawled signs announcing they are open for business. Then they wait with giddy anticipation for that first person to walk up and say the words they’d been waiting to hear:

Then they wait with giddy anticipation for that first person to walk up and say the words they’d been waiting to hear:
“I’ll need to see your permit or I’m shutting you down.”
These are the memories children will cherish forever. Christmas mornings, that first day of school, and being run out of business by the government for lacking the proper papers.

$1.3Bn Taxpayer Loss on Chrysler: ObamaNomics!
Oh, well. We NEED a debt-limit increase, see?
The U.S government has sold its shares in Chrysler LLC at a likely loss of $1.3 billion in taxpayer money, the Treasury Department said Thursday, announcing the end of a controversial investment that resurrected the troubled auto company.
The company is making money (for a change); there are no plans to recover taxpayer dollars from the profits.

Secret Negotiations, Lying Scumbags, What's Next?
The super-secret negotiating over what YOU will pay to employ the clowns goes on.
The lying about TEOTWAWKI, Dow dying, granny tossed to the curb....yadayada, goes on apace.
So?
Only 33 percent of voters say yes, they generally trust the government, a record low according to a Fox News poll released Wednesday. The previous low was last year’s 35 percent (June 2010). The level of trust has dropped a total of 21 percentage points from a post-9/11 high of 54 percent trust in June 2002.A majority of voters — 62 percent — do not trust the government.
Shocked. Shocked, I say!

The objective is to crush opposition, not merely tolerate it. That is to say, "tolerance" is a one-way street.

A new intelligence report from the Department of Homeland Security issued Tuesday, titled Insider Threat to Utilities, warns “violent extremists have, in fact, obtained insider positions,” and that “outsiders have attempted to solicit utility-sector employees” for damaging physical and cyber attacks.
Nukes and waterworks are the targets.

Did Boehner Pull It Off?
I'll take back every nasty thing I said about Boehner IFF (technical use) this is true:
There was talk that Boehner and Obama were walking on a deal that was cuts and debt ceiling increase now and maybe some tax reform next year but no promise of increase in tax revenues.
A "reverse GHWBush" gambit!
I hear a bluff collapsing.
