The Plan
President Barack Obama’s little known plan to sell his former senate seat has failed this past week. Largely because Rod Blagojevich — retired Illinois Governor — did not agree with the president’s plan, Obama could not fill another pay-for-play political position. That’s okay with the administration as they have other seats to worry about.
Apparently, the plan (hatched by Rahm Emanuel) was to have Blagojevich sell the senate seat to a hand-picked successor of Obama’s. The retired governor would then be placed in a lucrative position inside the Obama Administration and claim his commission from the sale of the senate seat was not reported to the Internal Revenue Service because of a ‘mistake’ in calculating the appropriate tax bracket.
Eventually some shadow government limo-lib campaign contributor would pay the back taxes and fines, so Blagojevich could be confirmed. In a few months, most of America would forget about this episode in the Obama administration because the homes they lived in would be up for sale, due to lack of income caused by George W. Bush.
Unfortunately, the retired governor was recorded by federal prosecutors and the whole plan unravelled. Damage control from the White House ensued and the governor was out on his own.
Pretty crazy stuff? Huh?
Who would believe any of the foregoing is true? Certainly Democrats would not believe it. Obama wouldn’t lie to them, but ‘Bush Lied And People Died.’ Would Republicans believe it? Probably not, but who cares what Republicans think? Right?
Okay. In the interest of fairness, Blago was ‘retired’ by the Illinois Senate. Republicans say ‘kicked-out’ but we’re too busy poisoning the water of children to care about semantics. Who knows what Emanuel had done as he’s Obama’s boy and any attack on him would be viewed as racism. Or, post-pre-racism. Somehow the word ‘racist’ would be applied to conservatives and Emanuel would be saved.
Pretty good fiction? Huh?
I bet you’re not laughing, though.
Not Paying Your Taxes Is Simply A Mistake (Democrats Only)
Current Obama candidates and confirmed appointees have claimed not paying their income tax was a simple ‘mistake’ they made which could be explained to any Democrat and they’d understand. Obama wants you to know these are just minor problems because really what’s at stake is the re-distribution of wealth. That was Obama’s campaign promise. And we know Americans must insist our second black president be held to his promises. [See "Obama's Your Mama" for explanation.]
Really?
What is the American public to think about Timothy Geithner being confirmed at U.S. Treasury Secretary when he dodged his taxes? Until the chosen one came along and gave him a job.
What is the American public to think about former Democratic Senator Tom Daschle being confirmed as Secretary of Health and Human Services when he dodged his taxes? Until the chosen one came along and gave him a job. Come on. Admit it. You don’t want to admit it but Daschle is getting the job.
Not Paying Your Taxes Is Criminal (Republicans Only)
Joe “The Plumber” Wurzelbacher asks — then Senator Obama — why he’ll have to pay more taxes if he’s elected. Oh, by the way, Joe’s a Veteran. God bless our Veterans. Joe loses his job. Can’t pay his taxes. Has a $1,200 lien on some property because he can’t pay his taxes without a job. Joe is crucified by the left wing media for a question half of America wanted asked.
Joe was a criminal of the worst kind — a Republican.
Obama’s answer is to spread the wealth around, regardless of whether or not the receiving party has earned the money.
He’ll take yours and give it to them.

Don’t worry, Joe. Obama’s check is in the mail.
I am,
