"...as if he were a perpetual lottery winner..."

The simile may be clunky and contrived, but, Mr. Limbaugh, I can empathize with how difficult it is to come up with a metaphor to illustrate the obscene rate at which Obama spends money that does not exist. There is simply no way to capture the magnitude of the numbers.

A man could win the lottery every day of every week of every month of every year for the rest of his life, and it would take him two centuries just to cover the federal debt as it is now. A legion of perpetual lottery winners could not spend money on the scope that the government does.

The English language simply does not offer us the means to explain what numbers like 'trillion' mean, numbers so big that you could go your entire life without ever using them. I have never known a writer good enough to capture the mind-boggling scope of those numbers in a single metaphor. You made a valiant effort, Mr. Limbaugh.

There you go again trying to fit a square, lying, radical Socialist into the round hole of American values.

STOP IT! I'm sick of it!

Be a man, a patriotic American, for once. Stand up and proclaim Truth - that Obama only implements policies that advance his agenda to fundamentally transform America into whatever ungodly form of governance that will benefit his ego and his supporters’ pocketbooks. He cares not for the People, rich or poor, black or white. He is an ideologue with no inclination to try to enact policies beneficial to this Country. Three years of his bullcrap isn’t enough for you to understand his methodology? God help us.

His new plan is not “terribly flawed”. It is precisely directed at his primary goal, subversion of our Constitutional Republic.

WISE UP!

Chairman Obamao is implementing the Cloward Piven stragey, where he spends us into a total colapse. He needs a second term to complete the destruction, totally colapse our finacial system, get the dollar so worthless it is replaced by some other currency, and then use the crisis to declare his dictatorship. He is following the Nazi playbook of Hitler, taking over control of business, regulating outside of congress through executive orders and Czars. A vote for a Democrat is tantamount to treason. This fall we must ensure the traitors are removed from office, or the Country is doomed.

I don't know why these columnists write articles like this that attempt to portray Obama as if he is merely incompetent, doesn't know what he's doing, or is otherwise adhering to failed liberal ideology.

This dude is a Marxist. He vowed to "fundamentally transform the United States of America." His actions tell of this at every turn.

Unless and until we can get our collective heads out of our rectal cavities and use our voices to call fecal matter what it is, we are doomed.

But I fear it may already be too late as evidenced by the cricket-chirping silence by any other elected officials to even bring up the topic of impeachment for all the unconstitutional things this sicko has already undertaken. Seems more and more a massive plot with both Republicans and Democrats joined at the hip.

Now, David, why not use your powerful pen to pursue this line?

No one has mentioned one of the constraints of the Chicago Cockroach's mortgage program: the minimum mortgage amount is $257K. In many parts of the country, that's a very expensive or at least an upper level house. I'd like to see what percentage of people whose homes are "under water" have a value of less than the minimum for the program--like my stepmother, whose $80K mortgage is for a home now worth $60K. I'd bet my next month's salary that the percentage of people who don't qualify for Obozo's program exceeds those who do.

Although its great to come hear and see opinions mostly the same as mine,I wonder if we shouldn't spend our time at Huffpost or some other liberal board trying to educate these morons.I have lately and am amazed at the lunacy I encounter-HELP those who are so much more eloquent than I

They're right, Jonah, the commenters above who say that Obama is not incompetent but has values hostile to the republic.

"The Constitution is fundamentally flawed," he said in a radio interview, "in that it only tells governments, state [sic] and federal, what it can't do *to* you. It doesn't say what it must do *for* you."

In other words the Constitution is not flawed in some small way that tinkering would fix but in its essence - by limiting the power of government.

He is not incompetent. He believes in totalitarian government. The founders felt differently. They felt that man needs government and that the governors must be governed too. "[B]ind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution," said Jefferson. Yet Obama has installed a Supreme Court Justice who says she believes, not in the Constitution of Jefferson but of Thurgood Marshall. And that's the second threat to the Constitution: the "tyrannical branch."

"I will get my jobs bill passed with or without Congress." No need to burn a Reichstag if Congress is composed of cowards too stupid to recognize the usurpation of their Constitutional responsibilities. But, being irresponsible themselves and not knowing how to stop drinking they agree they need more money for more booze. Obama can take the blame.

And the voters? Who are selling their souls? The blame belongs to everyone.

The Romans feared (wisely) "the one, the few, the many." Each had its own danger. Today we have a tyrant, a tyrannical branch and a cowardly branch. And a tipping point of bribes citizens with junk up their arms.

This is a bad reality show.

@Sam K - Just to put 'trillion' into perspective: If you were to spend $1 million a day (that is to actively spend one million dollars, per day), it would take you over two and a half years to spend $1 billon... At the same rate (one million spent per DAY), it would take you 2,740 years, give or take a few months, to spend $1 trillion dollars... Mind-boggling doesn't begin to describe it...
