Big Bird, Binders and Bayonets, Ya got’a LOVE IT! According to Mr. Obama, his re-election team and of course the mainstream media; Big Bird, Binders and Bayonets are the big concerns of the American voting public. Yes, Mr. Obama has his finger on the pulse of America
Let’s take a look at these three little nuggets of Obama wisdom:
Big Bird
Mr. Obama wants to save “Big Bird” from the economic distress of being self-funded.
Mr. Romney’s point was, all government spending should be reviewed and prioritized.
“Is the program so important that we should borrow money from China
I’ve already been through this in Choices (Oct. 10th) Big Bird is going to do just fine at $500 million plus in merchandizing. Can you say the same? Right now the national debt is at $16,211,268,916,232.26 and climbing at a rate of $3,880,000,000.00 every day. As of this moment every man, woman and child owes about $52,000.00. Can you pay up? By Mr. Obama’s own numbers, under his economic plan, by the year 2022 the national debt will exceed $25,000,000,000,000.00.
(Side Note: If you can’t pay up now how will you manage in 2022? Or will it just be a matter of dumping it off on the kids? Myself, I’ve always paid my own way and I’m willing to sacrifice now to keep from burdening future generations but if government spending isn’t reined in the debt will never be cleared. Sooner or later it will crush our nation and we’ll bring the rest of the world’s economies down with us.)
Binders (Full of Women)
Mr. Obama wants to equate having files of perspective female candidates as somehow demeaning and additional evidence of the imaginary “War on Women”.
Mr. Romney (with foresight) collected data on qualified male and female candidates to fill high ranking positions in his corporate, volunteer and government dealings. No quota system needed, he was only looking to give a fair chance to the best of the best. From his history women did quite well in getting top jobs.
(Side Note: I’d rather be listed in Mr. Romney’s “Binders Full of Women” than Obama’s list… The last American citizen on one of Obama’s list didn’t do so well, something about a drone and a missile… not quite the trial and jury of peers’ thing I heard about. Just saying, if I have the choice.)
Bayonets (we don’t need as many)
Mr. Obama’s attempt at belittling Mr. Romney, insinuating that he doesn’t know what the military needs.
Mr. Romney’s remark about the Navy’s fleet levels being at their lowest levels since 1917 actually is a scary observation when you think about it. The reason we haven’t fought a modern battle on our shores is because we’ve always had a mobile fighting force able to take the fight to our foes doorstep and the number of Navy ships plays a major role. You can’t just pick-up an air base and move it. You can’t just decide to move Fort Bragg
(Side Note: I like to backup my thoughts with facts and stats so I poke around some obscure web sites to see if different numbers come up. I kind of surprised myself when searching navel strength I pulled up the Chief of Navel Operations guidance for 2011 maritime strategy document. Within the document I found the fleet strength to be at 288 ships but they identify this as a shortfall noting the “Navy requires a minimum of 313 ships to meet operational requirements globally.” But their optimal fleet size would be 320 ships. So the Navy is 32 ships short… It would seem Mr. Obama was the one that doesn’t know what the military needs or even what the military has at the moment.)
Yes Mr. Obama sure hit the mark with his wisdom. For all the talk on who won each of the debates (Presidential and Vice Pres.) all four looked relatively the same to me. Romney and Ryan tried to focus on the major issues we face as a nation and their plans to overcome them. On the other hand, Obama and Biden both came off as… well to put it nicely, juvenile. But then again I’m not one for sugar coating the facts;
Obama and Biden were both Smartass Pompous JERK’s.
I’d like to leave you with this quote (it puts the debates into perspective and why Obama and Biden acted the way they did).
“If you don’t have any fresh ideas, then you use stale tactics to scare voters. If you don’t have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone to run from. You make a big election about small things.”
Barack Obama, 28 Aug. 2008 at the Democratic National Convention
(His acceptance speech)
How big is this election? How small are his issues, Big Bird, Binders and Bayonets?
Mr. Obama is a small, deceitful man with a big ego…
