QOTD: "...a trio of Republican senators wrote to Obama Friday, demanding he reveal his whereabouts during the attack after former National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor told Fox News that Obama was not in the White House’s basement Situation Room monitoring events.

“Over a year and a half has passed since the terrorist attacks, and the American people still do not have an accounting of your activities during the attack. Mr. President, can you now confirm that Mr. Vietor’s account of your absence in the White House Situation Room is accurate?” the letter asks." --Russell Berman

Anonymous said...: How do you think Obama and his comrades will want to use the next ‘serious crisis’?
A crash is going to happen sooner or later, it’s just a question of how the left will use next “serious crisis”. A Serious crisis they create and they can unleash at any time with the Fed Printing money(“Digitizing”) that can stop at any instant.

What will happen if the GOP retakes the senate and holds onto the House next November?
Would the left really want risk all their ‘progress’ going down the tubes?
Somewhere in the deep dark crevices of the leftist mind, they have their socialist national wish list, waiting to be sprung on the country at the right opportunity.
Odds on Favorites
1). Another “Stimulus” this almost goes without saying - Obama and his comrades’ love redistributing other people’s money.
2). Debt write off – this is also a great way for the national socialist left to do some instant wealth redistribution. It would an great way of rewarding those in debt and royally screwing those who hold this debt.
3). ‘One-Time’ wealth taxes or a tax on savings, another easy form of wealth redistribution.
They would do as was done in Cyprus taking a ‘haircut’ of people’s savings. “Are the Democrats Coming After Your Savings?” [powerlineblog]

4). Nationalizing 401 K’s – this has already been batted around.
5). Raise Taxes, after all the Left’s natural inclination to any problem is to raise taxes and increase regulation.
Expect them to decide is our freedom that lead to this unfortunate events and fully expect them to call for a clamp down on that freedom – for the common good of course.

6). Carbon Taxes on Carbon ‘pollution’
7). Mortgage bailouts – what better way to screw the banksters and reward Obama’s friends?
8). Student loan bailouts – again, it’s all about spreading that wealth around.

Remember this isn’t just about grabbing power, it’s also about using a crisis to buy votes and future constituency loyalty – and what better way to do than with other people’s money?
Even money
1). Delaying the midterm elections – Obama has already set a precedent in doing this in other areas – with a sufficiently big enough crisis, this might be in the cards…
Of course this would depend on when the crisis occurs, but would anyone put it past them to read the tea leaves about their impending political doom and trigger a crisis to forgo this ‘unfortunate’ event?
The idea was already floated as a trial balloon a few years ago “Perdue: Cancel congressional elections” September 27, 2011 [politico]
Apparently she drew the short straw to put this out there so it’s already been said.
2). Universal amnesty AND instant citizenship – this has been knocking around capitol hill for quite awhile now.
It’s like the monster in a B grade horror movie that keeps on coming back to life just when you think it’s dead. Amnesty is dead! No its alive! Now it’s dead..
3). Nationalizing other industries besides healthcare and automobile.
Banks? Firearms? Oil and energy companies?
4). Granting voting rights to felons.
5). Pushing through National Socialist healthcare
Long shot, less likely but still in the running
1). Declaring martial law [presumably after some coincidental] civil disturbances or terrorist attacks
2). Suspending the Constitution - Pen and a Phone anyone?
3). Banning and Confiscating guns in civilian possession -This has to be on their wish list
4). The creation or coalescing of state security apparatus -Obama civilian national security force.
5). Foreign UN ‘helpers’ to keep order; 9:54 AM
