Sarah Palin reminds the country of what the media conveniently chooses to forget – President Obama’s prominent role in forcing the country to bang its head on the debt ceiling every day for the past month.
Let’s go to Palin’s Facebook page for the money quotes:
[Obama] proposed an absurdly irresponsible budget that would increase our debt by trillions of dollars, and whose party failed to even put forward a budget in over 800 days!
Not coincidentally, 800 days is as long as he’s been in office.
[Obama] is pushing our country to the brink because of his reckless spending on things like the nearly trillion dollar “stimulus” boondoggle.
His current “untouchable” sacred cow boondoggles include hi-speed rail, Obamacare and “green” jobs.
[Obama] ignored his own debt commission’s recommendations and demonized the voices of fiscal sanity …wanted to push through an increase in the debt ceiling that didn’t include any cuts in government spending! …wants to slam Americans with tax hikes to cover his reckless spending …hasn’t put forward a responsible plan himself, but has rejected reasonable proposals that would tackle our debt. …who still refuses to understand that the American electorate rejected his big government agenda last November.
“We don’t want it. We can’t afford it. And we are unwilling to pay for it.”
And that includes his damn vacations.
He has been deemed a lame duck president. And he is angry now because he is being treated as such.
We had to check twice, but she did say “duck.” Although spelling it with an “i” would also have been correct.

Peggy Noonan column from the WSJ.
In my opinion, the best part of the article is her sum up;
" He is a loser. And this is America, where nobody loves a loser."
That was awesome, wasn't it?
A doozy of an article. Not sure, but probably Barry will just think it's all good attention.
Personally, I thought she was too kind and gave him an intelligence and shrewdness that just isn't there. The only time Barry sounds intelligent is when Soros is holding the strings and making him move. When he's off the strings, he just makes Biden sound like a Rhodes scholar.
I wonder if Sarah really meant to say Dumb $uck, what do you think?
If Obama were a Prime Minister instead of a President he would have been thrown out on his ass for not passing a budget. He is astoundingly incompetent. Seriously, what has he handled well? Anything? Where has he done any good?
Palin - Rubio 2012!
I can vote for that ticket!
Am I the only one who truly believes Obama is an economic terrorist trying to ruin this country? How else could you explain his boneheaded decisions he has made while in office? He is way past Cloward and Piven...
He is either an evil man and knows exactly what he is doing or he believes that what he is doing is right, and is a tool in the hands of an evil man.
It's both KQ, all of the above!
I believe he is evil, AND a tool.
I want it on the record that I have never been to FL and putting on a sweatshirt in 50 degree weather is wussified. I'm still wearing shorts and t-shirts until the first snow falls. :) Go Cornhuskers! Actually, I don't follow sports at all. :) Can I still hang out here?
You put on a sweatshirt after the first snowfall? What a sissy. And where do you guys get those smiley faces that say I'm just kidding around?

If you use the right combo of punctuation, the site does them automatically. for instance, ;-) is made by leaving the spaces out of this combo ; - )
Sure can! The more the merrier!
(Especially another 'Husker.)
Sure, But let it be known that I grew up in Florida, in a house that was built in the 1950's. It had no air conditioning what-so-ever and now that I live up here in NC, I refuse to turn on the AC until it hits 90!
Whatever you say. I lived in Wisconsin for 50 years. I was visiting Florida following the Packers around for away games with a group called America's Pack, 15,000 of my closest friends. We had our sweaters along because they were the fan gear. When we got drenched in the open air stadium, sitting a well over a hundred feet off the deck with the wind blowing over the top of the stadium and the temp dropping into the forties, they afforded comfort. The natives all dealt with a condition I refer to as perk-nip. We laughed. Now I stay indoors all the time because I live down here and hate the weather. Any derogatory label you got for that?
It was a night game, BTW.
I'd love to have Momma Griz broke open like a damn shotgun; we're talkin' double barreled (yeah!) funky!!!
Lay off the fantasies, dude. She's already married, and out of your league.
Ok, then some quality dome--not too much to ask, she can even wear her glasses
"We had to check twice, but she did say “duck.” Although spelling it with an “i” would also have been correct."
Hell, I would have spelled it with an "F".
She's just picking on him because he's black, uhm err, half white. No wait, because she's stupid and she hates smart people. Did I mention she eats kittens, just like Cheney. She's a narcissist too, because she thinks she's real pretty. ( just trying to save Olivia a little time )
His current “untouchable” sacred cow boondoggles include hi-speed rail, Obamacare and “green” jobs.
Fortunately for Florida, the high speed rail project has been shot down by the Governor! He refused to take the money and said that he will not build it.
The farce of high speed rail is that it really isn't high speed. The line they were supposed to build between Tampa and Orlando had enough stops that it never reached full speed! You could actually make the trip by car in less time than by rail!
Yep, and still the libcomms down here howled about how great the rail would be. If Disney wanted to pay for and build a real high speed rail that blasted to and from Tampa, sans stops, the morons wouldn't let them because it would be Big Corporation ignoring the little people in between. Never mind that stopping a high speed train 4 or five times to travel a hundred miles takes twice as long as driving the interstate highway at legal speeds. Utter lack of logic. When logic is presented to libcomms they're neurons shut down. Don't forget that Disney is one of the dichotomies suffered of libcomms.
I live in Tampa and we joked about what you were going to do once you got to Orlando without a car. Rent one? From my house, I can be at Buena Vista in an hour. It would take 20 minutes just to get to the train station plus I would have to pay for parking and the ticket itself. Pure Democratic Party genius.
It's even better for me. I live in West Pasco County, so I would have to drive to Tampa (Southeast of me) to take the train to Orlando (Northeast of me). In total, I would be responsible for more CO2 emissions that way than if I just drove to Orlando!
I live in New Tampa, we are neighbors.
Ever go to Skipper's Smokehouse? Mr. Dunderbak's?
Hey, FDH, is that on Dale Mabry or is it on Kennedy. Is it near the Domino's Pizza on Dale Mabry? I used to work and deliver pizzas from that store between 75 and 78. Helped me pay for my rent while attended USF. The name sounds familiar, but I don't think I ever went there. It may not have been around yet way back then. My favorite hangouts were closer to the University and on the other side of town.
Skipper's is on Skipper Road (imagine that, they got the street named after them) at Nebraska. We played at their 30th anniversary week long festival in August 2010, so they were not around in 78. The band I'm in has been playing there since the beginning, though I've been with them a little more than two years. Mr. Dunderbak's is an 'old world' style deli/restaurant/bar that was located in University Mall right down the road - Fowler - from USF. I have no idea how long either the mall or restaurant has been around. Dunderbak's is my favorite place, especially since they moved to a larger building on Bruce B. Downs that doesn't force their hours to conform to those of the mall. Also, the mall has become somewhat less safe with more brainless gang type activity in the area. I have lived here since late 2007 so, along with unemployment and gas prices going crazy here my ability to go around checking things out in a freestyle manner have been severely stubbed. Absolutely the worst time for such a move.
I used to live at a place called The Gates Apartments just off of Fletcher Ave. way back inb the day, then moved to some duplexs nearer to USF and East of the campus just off of Folwer Ave. I was there in 76 (I think it was 76) when it snowed for the first time in decades, of course, it looked like frost to me, but it was snow, about a quarter of an inch and sadly two or three students were killed on Fowler while sleding off of the campus and getting hit and killed by traffic on Folwer...nobody slowed down for the road conditions! Hey do you know of a little Spanish restaurant called La Tams on Buffalo Ave.? The had the best paeja and the best prices in town and were the ones who made paeja for the Columbian Restaurant when the Columbian ran out of it. Nice little blue collar place. Is it still around, it's not too far from the Hav-a-Tampa cigar factory? I remember one thing else about the place, they made the best Pina Coladas in town!
I have only been to Ybor a few times since living here, always to go to the same place. I'm 25 or 30 miles away now. That's about the area your speaking of, I think. I don't know much about it.
Tell you what, if it's still there and it's still owned by the same family, it's probably worth the drive!
the mall has become somewhat less safe with more brainless gang type activity in the area.
Oh, GREAT!
I don't get there too often, just when I have a Dr appt at the Hospital on Bruce B, and I have to park in the mall lot. But, my niece goes to USF, so that info doesn't make me too happy.
Night time is the right time for the most crime over there.
All the apartment complexes around the mall are iffy, at best. When I first moved down here I lived in a place on Fowler about a mile or two east of the campus. Place called Summit West. Fairly large community of one story apartments. My son and his little family lived in the same complex for about a year prior to my arrival. I lived in a unit close to them, being that assisting them with my granddaughter was one of the main reasons I made the move. I had seen this place when visiting them a couple years before. They didn't live there yet, instead the were in New Tampa but looking for a place closer to USF. Summit West was a nice place. Shortly after I moved in, maybe 3 months or so, I was chasing pit bulls off my porch left roaming by the crack dealers that parked in the lot and conducted bidnez for several hours in the afternoon! We all got the hell out of there soon as the leases came up.
My niece and her BF live on Bruce B north of Bearss.
Nice apartments there, but there are still some scum here and there. Their downstairs druggie neighbors just got evicted.
You, me, and FormerlyDeanH.
Small world - me and Homer live in the booming metropolis of Weeki Wachee!
LOL!!!
Married to a Mermaid?
I'm a block off 19 in Port Richey. I do travel up your way from time to time for work, I have customers in Glen Lakes and Homasassa.
I grew up in Jacksonville, too far away to be called neighbor but hey, same state.
I used to visit Amelia Island in the 80s and early 90s. It went from really quaint and cool to commercial and run down in a few years. Any idea how that area is now? Last time I was there was the first year of the NFL in Jacksonville for the first Jaguars vs. Packers. Preseason game so it was August or September and it got cold, like in the 40s and rained all day! Perfect Packers football weather. Amelia was total crap by then except for the exclusive areas that had armored cars stopping traffic on the access roads.
Of course, I don't remember it being in the 40's in August/September even if it was raining...60's maybe
We were celebrating how cold it was. Daytime temp was a muggy top 70s but by mid game we were happy we had our heavy gauge Packer sweaters on cuz it cruised down thru the 50s. I'll look for some historicals to support my remembery.
The Jags took several of the Packers better players in the expansion. We knew the Jaguars wouldn't be seriously affected by the weather because many of them came from cold weather outdoor teams.
I'm blaming the loss of the '84 Orange Bowl on AGW.
The 'Canes, on the other hand, have it to thank, so I guess it's a wash.
We can blame the Florida cold snap on September 24, 1995 on Global Warming, right? (Regular season, not pre-season, Sunday night 8pm kick-off, So yeah maybe it did dip into the 40's)
I was there! Had season tickets, was pregnant with my daughter, but never missed a game! Good times. Never knew who was going to show up at my tailgate parties, complete strangers sometimes, I fed them too. Only thing was once I fed them they would keep coming back to see what I had fixed the next time around.
Amelia Island still has it places that are nice but yeah too commercialized compared to how it used to be. There is one spot that I know of, we call it "secret beach". I can't tell you exactly how to get there but I would know it if I was there. anyway it's off of A1A You have to park on the side of the road and hike in to it. The hike is about 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile. Once you get there you have a stretch of beach all to yourself because that hike is the only way in. (or at least that's how it was last time I was there) Massive rocks and oysterbeds tend to keep people from getting there from either the north or the south end. Plus Few people are willing to hike that far while carrying beach chairs, coolers and whatever else one might need at the beach. One of my favorite places but I haven't been there since I moved up to NC about a decade ago. I'll have to ask my brother if that is still the case.
Yep, and while he is no longer down here, Hisham was. He went to USF in the 70s. A few weeks ago we had a small back and forth that made me ask if this was some kinda Tampa Bay area convention! Perlcat even seems to have more than passing knowledge of this area, if my memory serves. Of course, being the brainiac he is, that isn't too surprising.
I've just traveled through back when I was in sales. I've got a knack for remembering local geography. I did have friends up in Winter Springs, though, but never got to see them as much as I'd have liked.
If it walks and quacks like a lame duck, it must be a lame duck. If nothing else, Palin has 20/20 vision.
