The Imperious President |
I’ve been scanning the headlines and noticed they’ve taken a marked shift in the last few days. Obama’s intransigence in the debt talks is hurting—him! He’s continued the usual dem/lib tactics of blaming conservatives for everything while ignoring the fact that there has been a number of proposals that increased the debt limit and it has been Obama that has blocked every one. He even blocked a plan submitted by Harry Reid!
The shift isn’t for Obama nor for the dems. Here’s just a short sample of headlines that attest to the shift.

AP: widest wealth gap between US whites, minorities
“What’s pushing the wealth of whites is the rebound in the stock market and corporate savings, while younger Hispanics and African-Americans who bought homes in the last decade, because that was the American dream, are seeing big declines,” said Timothy Smeeding, a University of Wisconsin-Madison professor who specializes in income inequality.
The dem/lib scheme to push minority home ownership, the Community Reinvestment Act, to many who could not afford them, is the primary reason why the “minorities” have seen their assets decline or disappear completely. When Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac forced banks to issue loans to those who’d not otherwise qualify for those loans, that requirement led to the failure of the housing market.
Such policies and others similar to them have NOT made one of the dem/lib core groups happy.
