Where, Oh Where Are Those Rich Democrat Patriots?

[Geee]

Pajamas Media:

I don’t know about you, fellow taxpayers, but I’m not terribly impressed so far with how Obama and his enabling cabal of Democrat Congress critters have been using the money we’ve already given them. Instead of bearing down on incentivizing job creation in the private sector — a proven strategy for ending recessions — Obama, Pelosi, and Reid went on a wild government spending spree that made George W. Bush and his spendthrift pals look like veritable tightwads.

The Democrats spent two years growing the federal government, handing huge sums of our money to their union cronies and propping up every idiotic liberal dream scheme that ever popped out of an intellectual’s closet. They had the unrivaled gall to call this stupid stuff “economic stimulus.” Then, they shoved that big-bleeping-deal Obamacare down our throats — just assuming, I suppose, that someone, somewhere would create the wealth to pay for it.

Our November votes, at least, put a set of brakes on Obama’s socialist dune buggy, but his adolescent lead foot just can’t wait to get back on the spending-our-money accelerator. With American families eating less every week to make up for “nonexistent” inflation, Barry O has his task cut out for him. With gas skyrocketing and prices expected to hit $5.00 a gallon by Memorial Day, American families are now scaling back those already-pared-to-the-bone vacation plans. The president managed to read that committee-written speech he had on his teleprompter with his customary deadpan eloquence. Enough to impress Democrats, perhaps, but not to call forth from the rest of America a vast, heartened outcry of “Give it all to the government!”

So, where, oh where are those rich Democrat patriots when their president really needs them to pay the bills he has recklessly run up?

Surely you remember, dear readers, sleepy Joe Biden’s delightful shout-out to his fellow liberals in September ’08. Then Senato-Biden, campaigning for the role he now holds as Vice President, told an ABC television audience that wealthier Americans needed to pay more taxes, needed to “jump in,” “be patriotic,” and help our country “out of the rut.”

Speaking of hypocritical rich DEMs...

 

I can't tell you my initial reaction reading this!

 

President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, reported income of $1.728 million for last year, much of it from the sale of the president's pre-presidency books.

A patriotic RICH RAT? I didn't know such a creature existed! I'll bet dollars to donuts that the first angry calls Obambi got were from King Bubba and Terry MacCauliffe after that speech.
