This really has to be the line of the year. It came from New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. Christie was referring to Obama’s assertion that he saw no need to get involved in the deliberations of the Super Committee because it was, after all, doomed to failure. That’s when an exacerbated Chris Christie exclaimed, “… then what the Hell are we paying you for?”
Now that was great stuff. I think a simple statement like that – delivered with truly felt emotion – resonated with a lot of voters, especially the makers. The takers, on the other hand, know just what we’re paying him for. We’re paying him to seize and redistribute wealth.
Let’s explore the question a bit more though. Just what ARE we paying Obama for? Here’s a partial list we worked on yesterday:
To fundamentally transform the United States of America.
To put more Americans on food stamps than ever before.
To turn 16% of our economy over to the government (healthcare).
To plunder from the pockets of the producers and redistribute wealth.
To pay off political backers by “investing” in their non-sustainable solar companies.
To change union rules so as to make unionization easier.
To deny American energy efforts for the sake of “green” dreams.
To turn long-established bankruptcy law on its head by giving preferences to unsecured union creditors.
To apologize for America on the world stage.
To bow to the enemies of America.
To demonize millionaires and billionaires.
To implement rules and regulations costing businesses trillions each year.
To give the EPA power to destroy segments of our economy … coal, for instance.
To bailout certain industries and then stick the taxpayers with the tab.
To spend $800 billion on virtual dance projects and bridges for endangered squirrels.
To lose 2.5 million jobs in our economy.
To sue states when they try and do what the federal government fails to do – protect its borders.
The list can go on and on .. and it is way too easy to compile. Trust me … we’ll be expanding it as the campaign goes along. The bottom line is that Obama is not the leader we want and certainly not the one we need.
