Op-ed:
The DNC circus came to town

By: Diane Sori

 

And the 3 ring circus has begun!

And what a circus freak show night one was.  In ring one a DEAD Ted Kennedy attacked very much alive Mitt Romney, but is that really such a surprise in an election cycle where the dead really do vote!

And the ring master leading off the so-called ‘festivities’ was none other than 'Debbie-Downer' herself...Debbie Wasserman Schultz...queen of the clueless who must have paid Nancy’s botox doctor a visit before her ‘nails on a blackboard voice’ declared the convention open.

Hey Debbie, while you bloviated about how wonderful Obama is (gag, gag) our country’s national debt hit a number no one ever thought possible...16 TRILLION DOLLARS!!! The ramifications of this are mind-boggling.

The actual Outstanding Public Debt is now...drumroll please... $16,031,316,417,910.96 and growing!  And with the population of the United States currently at 313,444,895, that means each and every man, women, and child’s share of this debt is a whopping $51,145.57.

And who can we thank for this...Barack Hussein Obama for spending like there’s NO tomorrow, and ‘Prince’ Harry Reid and his Democratic controlled Senate who still haven’t passed a budget in over 3-1/2 years or in simpler numbers 1,225 days.

Sadly, continuing government deficits and Obama’s fiscal failures mean that lawmakers, in order to keep the government afloat, just might have to raise the debt ceiling yet again in the waning months of this year before it can be brought down under a new Romney administration.  And let’s just hope that the nation's credit rating won’t suffer again because of this.

And here’s a shocker concerning that very debt... just under $5 trillion of it is owed to the Social Security Trust Fund and the federal pension system.  A little more than $11 trillion is owed to foreign and domestic investors and to the Federal Reserve (which buys up treasuries so they can bring down interest rates through quantitative easing, which is nothing but a temporary fix).  While we owe China many billions, in reality they hold less than 8% of the money owed to foreign governments.   

Bottom line...most of the debt is owed by us thanks to Barack Hussein Obama.

And while Obama continues to blame George W. Bush for this ever increasing debt, and for ALL our woes as a matter of fact, the reality is we owed $10.6 trillion on January 20, 2009, the day Obama was sworn in, and in under four years in office this man has added another $5.4 trillion to it...more than Bush did in his two terms in office.

So while Obama says he needs a second term to clean-up the economic mess we’re in, I for one am NOT willing to give this miserable excuse of a president four more years to totally implode our economy from within.

Nor am I willing to buy the bloviating spewed last night by his favorite suck-ups who all patterned their speeches after Ann Romney’s and Marco Rubio’s.   Gee, isn’t it a surprise that suddenly Michelle Obama’s father had MS, the same disease Mrs. Romney suffers from.  And wasn’t it some performance she put on...really nothing but a poorly adapted version of Ann's speech but having just enough of the details changed to avoid being accused of plagiarism...which she screeched into the mike while pleading and begging for her husband to be given a second term to finish what he started.  

What Michelle (hey, she wants us to call her Michelle so as to appear like she’s one of us), didn’t say was what her husband really started was the beginning of not only the downfall of the economy but of our beloved America itself.

But at the bottom of it all is that her speech was all about big government, government jobs and government handouts...with NOTHING about the private sector, the very thing that fuels our economy.  And no one is buying her crap about how much Obama cares about ‘We the People’ as he’ll sell us all out faster than you can say ‘traitor’ to gain the title of ‘Dictator for Life.’

As for Julian Castro, mayor of San Antonio, Texas, all I can say is that he parroted Marco Rubio’s speech content for content but in NO way was he has powerful, as believable, or as sincere as Marco was.  And while the msm is trying to ‘anoint’ him as the next Obama, there's something quite ‘not right’ about him and I think others felt that too.  Lack of charisma, lack of sincerity, lack of true passion or a combination of all three, this man just does NOT have what it takes to compete with or overshadow Marco Rubio, which is what he was trying to do.

So tonight the circus continues in ring two with Bubba himself...Billy-Boy Clinton, the ultimate publicity whore, a man who still thinks of himself as president.  Will Bubba upstage Obama...will Bubba seek revenge for Obama stealing it all from Hillary in ’08...will Bubba say he’s voting for Romney...only a few more hours and we’ll find out, but whatever he does I don’t think Barack Hussein Obama will be a totally happy camper.

Come on November 6^th...let’s end this freak show once and for all.
