The failure of big government, Part 2

In my last series of posts, I told you about eight days (Nov. 3 – 11) of events that were clear evidence of the failure of President Obama’s big government scheme.

imagesI posted the first four pieces on those events, beginning on Nov. 3, with the election eve Fast & Furious document dump. The repudiation of Obama’s policies in the Nov. 4, mid-terms, and the Gallup poll in which voters said they wanted Republicans, by a 17-point margin, to lead the nation.

On Nov. 5, an arrogant president was in denial over the meaning of the election and touted a flourishing economy. Then, on Nov. 10 and 11, tapes of how big government Democrats deceived Americans with ObamaCare, its radical health insurance plan, referring to the “stupidity” of voters.

In this post are the remaining news events of the eight-day period to further point to the failure of Obama’s transformation of America. Continue reading

Big government health insurance a failure

Perhaps the biggest example of the failure of big government is ObamaCare.

From the beginning, ObamaCare was doomed. HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius was given carte blanche in this law that no one read. Her failed website ate a billion dollars of taxpayer funding.

Changes to the flawed health insurance scam were illegally made as subsidy complications have put some enrollees at risk of IRS penalties.… read more

Big government gun-running

On Nov. 3, 2014, the day before the mid-term elections, the Department of Justice did a document dump of some 64,000 pages, pertaining to Fast & Furious, to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Obviously, the DOJ calculated the contents wouldn’t get pre-election coverage. Friday night document dumps have become common place for the “transparent”  Obama administration

Early reports indicate that Attorney General Eric Holder, who is in contempt of Congress, was clearly in the communications loop on the ill-advised gun running scheme; something he denied under questioning.… read more

GOP outlines its priorities

“I believe Republicans can win in the mid-terms without a grand 1994 Gingrich-style Contract With America, but they will need a clearly stated agenda come 2016.”

That was my answer to my own question posed in my Oct. 3, 2014 post, “Does the GOP need to say what its for?”  It was in response to the flood of columnists and commentators,who said the GOP couldn’t win by attacking Obama and his policies.… read more

Tom Brokaw shows his liberal colors again.

“The question is, what are they prepared to give to the Democrats to meet them in the middle ground? What are they going to do about immigration?  What are they going to do about the minimum wage?

Those were questions asked by former NBC News majordomo Tom Brokaw, appearing on MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports, hosted on Monday by Peter Alexander.… read more

GOP won with an agenda to end Obama’s

“To everyone that voted, I want you to know that I heard you. To the two-thirds of voters who chose not to participate in the process yesterday, I hear you, too.”

With his usual lack of any humility, those were the words of President Obama at his post mid-term elections press conference yesterday, as he let the incoming majority Congress know that the only reason they enjoyed such successes at the ballot box was because most of America didn’t vote.… read more
