Now that it’s become clear President Obama can’t run on a record of economic success, Democrats like Toure will resort to the only thing they have left in their arsenal, the Obama race card.

Larry Kudlow agrees. Obamacare will kill over 800,000 jobs and bankrupt (aren’t we already?) the country. Can we afford four more years of economic suicide?

The Obama vision has been an unmitigated disaster. Countless failures, bankruptcies and layoffs are matched by a need for perpetual subsidies – taken from hard-working, productive people and businesses, and given by unaccountable bureaucrats to failed technologies and companies, run by crony-corporatists who return the favor by contributing substantial portions of our compulsory taxpayer largesse to the reelection campaigns of cooperative politicians.

“What our concern is, is if we invest all of the power and the funding decisions with a board of 15 people – who’s decisions go into law and don’t even go through Congress – is that the best way to save this entitlement and restrain spending? We believe there’s a better way.”

“If the president is willing to trample on our constitutional rights in a difficult election year, imagine what he will do in implementing the rest of this law after he doesn’t have to face the voters again if he gets reelected.”

Maybe he defeated the establishment-backed candidate because he touched some hot-button issues that the grassroots care about but are ignored, or even belittled, by the Mainstream Media.

America will become Greece in the absence of reform. Well, that’s basically the Obama fiscal plan, as illustrated by this amusing cartoon. What makes the Ryan budget so impressive is that it includes the reforms that are needed to avoid this fate.

[I]nstead of working together where we agree, the President has opted for divisive rhetoric and the broken politics of the past. He is going from town to town, impugning the motives of Republicans, setting up straw men and scapegoats, and engaging in intellectually lazy arguments, as he tries to build support for punitive tax hikes on job creators. – Rep. Paul Ryan

Obama’s campaign against “wealthy, successful Americans” who “attribute their wealth and success to their own intelligence and hard work” has backfired with a vengeance.
