Michele Bachmann: Obama's Economic Plan Is "Intending to Fail"
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, February 19, 2010, 11:52 AM
Rep. Michele Bachmann spoke at CPAC today. During her talk she said that Obama’s economic plan is “intending to fail.”
You mean, you can’t spend your way out of a deep recession with other people’s money?
Barack Obama and Congressional Democrats tripled the national deficit in one year. They will likely top that this year.
The staunch conservative gave a terrific speech full of grade A red meat. Be prepared for a serious lib meltdown following her talk today.
UPDATE: The Politico has a report on her speech:
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) urged conservatives Friday to fight to prevent an American “decline” created by the policies of President Barack Obama.
In a long and meandering speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference evoking numerous historical references to the American Revolution and the Second World War, Bachmann said that time and again Americans have chosen “greatness” over “decline.”
Conservatives, Bachmann argued, are the only ones positioned now to choose greatness.
“The joy of being an American is that we get to choose. We get to choose our destiny, whether it is decline or greatness,” she said.
Recalling an early trip Obama made abroad in which the president asserted that while he does believe in American exceptionalism he’s also sure other countries believe in their own superiority, Bachmann blasted him for not unequivocally establishing American dominance.
“If everyone is exceptional, then no one is exceptional,” she said. “Decline can happen quickly, even to a great nation. It’s a sobering thought.”
Moving to her criticism of the president’s spending, Bachmann pointed to a chart of rising federal deficits.
“This is intending to fail,” she said.
“They have left us holding an invoice of $105 trillion in unfunded federal liabilities,” she went on, alluding to the federal government’s entitlement programs. “Sounds to me like someone is choosing decline.”

I would think this is an impeachable offense, isn’t it? Seems to me, someone needs to get moving on it.

This is not about recovery, it has always been about control. If it was about recovery, Fannie and Freddie would not be running wild (Again!). it is most interesting that there has been no controls suggested for Fannie and Freddie, the greatest cause in the run up of bad paper in the real estate crisis. They continuie to assume more bad paper. Pretty soon everyone will be getting their real estate loans from the government. Like that hope and change?

haven’t heard or read the speech yet but the idea of destroying a country’s free market economy is textbook policy for the progressive liberal socialist bunch.

“Intending to fail” is what treasonists do best. The founding fathers tried to protect us from that by delineating only a certain pool of Americans eligible for the executive branch.This pool cannot have citizenship granted through statutory law. It must come only through circumstance at birth.It was called “Natural Born Citizen” by our brilliant founding fathers.

I take exception to the inclusion of the FY2008 deficit under the banner of Bush. In 2006, the Dims – as opposed to the Repukes – took control of Congress. The President cannot spend any money that is not appropriated by Congress. Pelosi and Reid came up with the budget and Bush signed it in 2008. He vetoed it in 2009. Obama signed the pork rich 2009 budget when he took office. The Dims are responsible for both years.

Gawd, I love this woman. That’s what I’ve been screaming for a year. Obama is trying to destroy our economy and then he will say, “Capitalism doesn’t work.”
There’s a reason Obama seems so anti-American with his past influences and associations. It’s because he is, you ignorant braindead Americans. Just sit there and watch him loot our country, American men.

Hello, this has been repeated over and over again. Bozo is out to destroy America. Iran Mullahs believe his is the chosen One ( Mhadi) who will destroy the infidel, and economic destruction was KMS plan, and Usama agreed for the 911 hit, and Obama — the Bozo — is furthering the mission.
