VIDEO : Charles Krauthammer On Fox : John Boehner had prevented a "rape of the Treasury" by blocking a larger relief bill for the victims of Hurricane Sandy. - Topmost in Insensitivity and Lack of Empathy for Victims of Disasters

.

Unkindness and Lack of Heart for the suffering of others.

Republican Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey strongly protested the unjustified delays and procrastination in the U. S. House of Representatives. The victims suffering and the Republican Representatives in vacations and politicking.

So this Governor is "Pork Barrel" for caring for the victims inside his own state ??? -- Krauthammer says exactly this  :

"I think what Boehner did in postponing the vote until today was absolutely right," he said on "Special Report." "That was a rape of the Treasury. $60 billion, including a ton of pork. The part that was essential that passed today was to replenish the flood insurance. That's right, and the rest ought to be debated in regular order."

VIDEO : O'Reilly and Krauthammer on the fiscal cliff deal. - January 2 2013 : Obama is a dangerous 'Scandinavian' Socialist ( Sweden, Norway ), hates the achievers and successful entrepreneurs, hates the Rich. Obama is lucky because Mitt Romney blew it

.

Obama is the luckiest man in the World and he is the master Demonizer and conjurer of Demons against Mitt Romney and the Rich. Obama set off big hate against the "Poor" Rich !!

The Source of Evil of Mr Obama is that he was a "Community Organizer" and so he mixed with the worst people in the USA and became contaminated and polluted by populism and socialism !.....

If Obama is such an Evil Wicked "Felix, the Cat" that thrives on sheer luck, then what is the source of his magic ??. Does he have a pact with the devil Satan ?? -- Does he practice voodoo ?? --- Is he the antichrist ??? -- the Beast 666 ??

Does Obama eat White Babies for breakfast to atune himself with the Devil ??

Listening to these two guys I almost believed that Obama has the Devil Satan as advisor and so he was successful in dividing the House Republicans.

O'Reilly and Krauthammer January 2 2013

Obama scored a major political triumph by getting Republicans to agree to raise back tax rates on the wealthy. Since 1978, Republicans have focused their popular appeal on the premise that cutting taxes on the wealthy – and secondarily everyone else -- will encourage growth

John B. Judis in "The New Republic" : "Obama Wasn't Rolled. He Won!", January 3, 2012


Excerpts :

The Fiscal Cliff Deal positions Obama and the Democrats very well in future fights with a Republican Party that is becoming an embattled outpost for addled billionaires and white Southern revanchists. It may not happen during Obama’s second term, but the GOP may be on the way to marginalizing itself as a political party.

******************

With a new House and Senate, Obama stands a good chance of winning these battles in the months to come --  if  he continues to conduct these negotiations as political campaigns and not as backroom Washington affairs. The fiscal cliff deal took tax rates out of the discussion. What’s left are spending cuts. If Obama allows the Republicans and obnoxious groups like Fix the Debt to frame the issues, he’ll be in trouble. And he did seem to fall into this trap briefly when he proposed changing the cost of living index for Social Security. But if he reminds the public that what the Republicans and their allies want to do is cut their Medicare and Social Security, he and the Democrats should be in good shape.

**********************

These divisions don’t necessarily augur the kind of formal split that wrecked the Whig Party in the 1850s. Nor do they suggest widespread defection of Republicans into the Democratic Party as happened during the 1930s. There is still far too much distance between, say, McConnell and Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid. But they do suggest that a process of erosion is under way that will weaken the Republicans’ ability to maintain a united front against Democratic initiatives. That could happen in the debates over the sequester and debt ceiling if Obama and the Democrats make the kind of public fuss that they did over fiscal cliff.

Obama Wasn't Rolled. He Won!


**********************************

Day of Glory : The Dow Jones increases by 308.41 to 13,412, that is a 2.35% increase on January 2 of 2013 - Dow's biggest gain since December 2011. - Nasdaq shot up 3.07% to 3,112 - S&P 500 up 2.54% to 1,462 - I award a dunce's cap

.

This is an applause of Wall Street to the President and a Day of Glory and Great Optimism in Wall Street :

The Russell 2000, an index that tracks smaller companies, shot up to the highest close in its history.

This is a measure of the Trust and Confidence of Rich People and Wall Stret Investors in President Obama and his Economic Team and an applause to his closing of a deal in the "Fiscal Cliff" problem.

For every stock that fell on the New York Stock Exchange, roughly 10 rose. The index that measures investors' expectations of future market volatility, plunged more than 18 percent.

I have expectations that a Big Bull Market of several years has been started by President Obama and his reelection. President Obama has been wonderful and excellent for investors during his first term.

If an investor says that Obama is a failure for his stocks and assets then that guy is ungrateful and should be crowned with a dunce's cap like in the Old School System.

VIDEO : "I am bitter," Joe Scarborough declared on Wednesday morning. "Seriously, could the Republican Party have mismanaged this any worse?" He hit Paul Ryan, who he alleged has contributed $11 trillion to the national debt, in particular. Then, he continued :

.

"The Republican Party saves itself. They’re virtuous, they save themselves for 20 years. They decide, 'Going to be chaste, I’m against raising taxes, I’m going to save myself for 20 years.' And they waited for 20 years before giving themselves away. And they did so last night on a bill that increases taxes, that doesn't cut a dime in spending in Washington, D.C., which everybody knows is the real problem. And third, the Congressional Budget Office scores it, and they add $4 trillion to the national debt."

 Published on Jan 2, 2013

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough was none too pleased with his party's handling of the fiscal cliff deal. Admitting he was "bitter," Scarborough said everyone knows that spending is a problem in Washington. ...Yet Republicans voted to add to the national debt?

"I am bitter," Scarborough said. "Seriously, could the Republican Party have mismanaged this any worse?"

VIDEO, Charles Krauthammer: Senate fiscal cliff legislation ‘a complete surrender on everything’ ( A defeat for Republicans ! ) - Krauthammer suggests that Eric Cantor may replace John Boehner as speaker

.

On Tuesday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer speculated that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor might try to replace John Boehner as speaker of the House.

“It’s possible this is the prelude to a challenge Thursday to Boehner’s leadership by Eric Cantor,” Krauthammer said.

“I think that would be quite naked to do it at this late hour, as a result of this split over the vote. Look, there are a lot of conservatives in the Republican caucus in the House who hate the bill — and for good reason. I mean, this is a complete surrender on everything. The ratio of tax cuts — of tax hikes to spending cuts — is 40 to 1, rather than 1 to 1 or 1 to 2 or 1 to 3. So, I mean it’s a complete rout by the Democrats. So it’s understandable.”

Charles Krauthammer: McConnell fiscal cliff deal is "complete surrender"

************************************

The Sissification of President Obama - Many people say that Obama is now becoming a Sissy kneeling before the Brutal Congress Republican Bullies - That may be true of false, but I am 100% sure that Obama is the only HOPE and possibility of GOOD CHANGE

.

A sissy in a school is considered an unassertive coward - a boy that shows fear or timidity before the School Bullies and Mitt Romneys of this World. A true wimp, softie, weakling and loser.

Mitt Romney was the quintessential Republican : School Bully, Brutal Barber, Fake Cop, Financial Shark, Super Liar and Hypocrite, very probable tax cheater. And he was entangled in his own web of lies, hypocrisy and bully behavior. That included a lot of Plutocracy, Racism, hatred, bigotry and Dog Whistle Blowing.

The Sissification of Obama is not good for the USA, consider the Mitt Romneys and the alternative presidential candidates in the Republican Primaries. Consider the Paul Ryans and Congress Republicans.

The only thing that these GOPers would do for the USA is to harm the nation and push it to decline and loss of Economic and Military Power ( George W. Bush Style ! ).

The Republican Party is one million times more dangerous for the Good Economic and Political Health of the American Empire than all the Islamic Muslim Terrorists of the World, even if Osam Bin Laden resurrects and brings an army of one million terrorists.

So we have to love, respect and support President Obama, even if he becomes a Sissy. .... Even if he crossdresses or becomes a transvestite. Even if President Obama becomes a Drag Queen ..... He is the only hope for America and the World.

VIDEO : December 31, 2012 : President Obama is relaxed and funny ! : Obama Makes a Statement on the Fiscal Cliff --- discusses ongoing fiscal cliff negotiations. --- says that his main objective is to protect the Poor and Middle Class

.

And to put the Economy in Prosperity. - He talks about the spending cuts that will go automatically into effect on January 1 - Spending cuts should not be performed with an ax instead of a delicate surgical instrument. He will try to protect seniors.

The interest of Billionaires and Lobbyists should be balanced against the interests of Seniors, Children, Students, Middle Class and the Poor.

President Obama Makes a Statement on the Fiscal Cliff



******************************

The USA needs a strong, firm and decisive President. - Not a fool kicked constantly by Republicans, that are puppets of the Super Rich and Wealthy and that constantly cuts the scarce benefits to the Poor and Middle Class in order to give great gifts in tax cuts to Plutocrats

.

I do not see a better way to cause harm to the American Empire than establishing a Plutocracy, where the President is a stooge, clown, shill or plant, always conceding and giving in to the Super Wealthy.

Sooner or later the Economy will stagnate and stall because the Poor and Middle Class will suffer. Of course this has to do with the idea of Race, Racial Politics and Ethnicity, because the poorer Americans are in good part Minorities.

American Politics is in great part Racial Politics and that is not going to disappear soon. Racism is not going to end in a few decades.

If you examine the last Presidential Election, then you see the Amazing Racial Polarization. There are no other countries in the World with such characteristics. You can say that Slavery and Immigration have also existed in almost all Latin American Nations and the Caribbean. But they are not so polarized.

This discussion carries me to predict that the Democratic Party will continue winning Presidential Elections at least for two or three more cycles. And that caving to Republicans in December 2012 or January 2013 is useless, absurd and unwise.
