Physicists and others seeking to unlock the mysteries of the universe posit
many theories about what exists beyond our night sky. One of the more
intriguing theories is that our universe is just one of many universes, or
dimensions, in which our doppelganger encounters different experiences and
thus, different outcomes. Given the bizarre rhetoric being used by
Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, and President Obama lately, this theory is becoming all the more
believable by the minute.
When confronted with the news that the economy has gotten worse under
President Obama, both the President and Congresswoman have offered up
answers that display a stunning disregard for what is happening with the
economy. Failing the possibility that both have crossed into our dimension
via a liberal wormhole, answers such as the economy is struggling due to the
increased adoption of new-fangled job-killers such as ATMs or it has hit a
soft patch because of the reluctance of conservatives to accept increased
taxes in the form of an ever-increasing "fair share" can be seen for what
they are: partisan spin.
The Democrats' calls for an increased "fair share," while excellent on the
stump, will do nothing to spare the economy from the dreadful bleeding of
jobs that has occurred during this administration. Wasserman Schultz is
left with nothing that remotely resembles a success in the almost three
years of the Obama administration so she must provide blinkered responses to
the cold, hard facts: 1.9 million jobs have been lost, gasoline prices have
more than doubled, and the debt has ballooned to an unsustainable $14
trillion under Democratic guidance. It is no wonder she is left to insist
weakly that the Democrats have "turned the economy around."
In Weiner-esque fashion, President Obama's policies have been exposed. Left
with the difficult task of selling the value of an economy that has gotten
demonstrably worse, Wasserman Schultz can only pull the cord on her failsafe
Democrat See-and-Say and repeat, pull, repeat. The results are the
predictable complaints ranging from the natural disaster in Japan to Greece'
s eventual default, a crisis that Ms. Wasserman Schultz should watch closely
for future spin when the U.S. meets a similar fate. By then, if a Democrat
still holds the White House, she will surely resort to a "nothing to see
here" redux of bumbling cop Frank Drebin from the Naked Gun movies.
The comedic cop routine would be an improvement, though, to the mainstay of
liberal politics: accusations of racism. Simply pointing out the massive
failure of the stimulus package and the Democrats' plan to turn the economy
around now conjures up images of a return to Jim Crow laws and the
mistreatment of African-Americans in Wasserman Schultz's alternate universe.
A shameful, libelous non sequitur is now the last refuge of a Democrat
when reality doesn't fit the liberal storyline where their policies are
rousing successes even when evidence points to the contrary.
Still, that evidence is making even Wasserman Schultz and President Obama
bow to reality. At a forum held by Politico.com, Wasserman Schultz claimed
"ownership" of the economy on behalf of her fellow Democrats. That
ownership presumably includes the wasted disaster that was the stimulus
package which spent $1 trillion of borrowed money. At the time of passage,
promises were made that the unemployment rate wouldn't climb over 8% if the
bill passed and jobs would blossom from the tree of the Congressional
spending spree. As is painfully obvious, this failed to materialize and led
to the President's poor attempt at humor that "shovel-ready was not as
shovel-ready as we expected." Outside of the President's deluded pied
pipers, most Americans aren't laughing at the gargantuan waste and
ineffectiveness of his policies.
With 2012 approaching, it appears unlikely that the economy will begin to
turn around sufficiently enough for the President to fulfill Wasserman
Schultz's silly claims of economic achievements. What remains then is the
contemptible use of the race card against Republican critics and other
worldly economic claims that can only be construed as accomplishments in the
swamp of DC. Jobs and debt are the worries of the average voter and their
doubts will be an electoral death knell for the President no matter their
spin or accusations of racism. Then again, maybe President Obama and Debbie
Wasserman Schultz know something the rest of us don't and the Recovery
Summer is just one worldly dimension away. |
