Schumer Plays the Big Man Again

According to a letter from Senator Ted Cruz today he informed his supporters that Chuck Schumer has stated that he is opposed to Neil Gorsuch, Supreme Court nominee (big surprise), and is trying to convince Democrat Senators to filibuster Judge Neil Gorsuch.

While some Washington insiders seem surprised, no one that knows anything about politics is surprised.  Schumer, a lawyer who has never practiced law, has an ego that is so big that he often rolls it around in the Senate chambers, and always in front of TV cameras like a giant beach ball.

In November, 2014 Schumer ranted that the news media was, “negative and sensationalistic”.  He was right!  But did he understand it then, and has somehow has lost his bearings in 2017? No! He was blaming the news media for democrat loses in the mid-term elections.  The story is covered completely covered in an  Accuracy in Media story, even go so far to say “that the Democrats failed the middle class by supporting Obamacare—which focused on the “wrong problem”—and then blamed the Obama-loving news media for being too “negative” and “sensationalistic.”  In this same sitting, he said the media was guilty of focusing on the “government’s failure and not it’s successes”. 

This is prime Schumer again.  He, more than most, knows that big government always has more failures than successes.  It’s not even close—prime example—Obamacare.  Accuracy in Media wrapped up the story and exposed Schumer’s hypocrisy with this: “That probably came as a surprise to the members of the mainstream media in attendance, since the last thing they wanted to see was the Republicans taking control of the Senate, and adding to their majority in the House.

But they made a good scapegoat for Schumer, who, although he was correct in listing some of the Democrats’ failures, didn’t mention the person who was truly responsible for the midterm drubbing—President Obama.

The Old and Current Arrogance of Barak Obama

Reprinted from February 11, 2009 Post

It seems with every passing day, Obama moves closer and closer to an irreversable, failed Presidency.   Just in office a little more than three weeks, Obama shows signs that he may self destruct early in his presidency. My position about his likeness to the failed Jimmy Carter becomes more and more obvious every day. The comparison is irrestible to the media. You and I, and many others like Rush Limbaugh, and other conservatives would not jump into Obama's way to prevent him from getting run over politically--the problem is though, when he fails, America is weakened. This country was able to hold on until Ronald Reagan arrived, and I believe we can hold on for four years until help arrives again. America and Americans are strong, but we have to be strong and hold on together. To do so means that we have to fight, we have to challenge Obama and the democrat congress, and we have to refuse to stand by and watch these liberals attempt to destroy our country and our freedom.
Mr. Obama only had a few days of Oval Office experience under his belt when signs of his absolute inexperience, and maybe some of his cleverly devised plan, began to show. It's hard for a President of the United States to be successful when immediately after taking the oath of office he extends an olive branch to one of America's worst enemies. Iran's deranged leader, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, already smells blood in the water and has insisted that the United States apologize to Iran. Ahmadinejad is not alone here, there are plenty of tyrants in the world sitting back and licking their chops, just waiting for Obama's telephone call or visit. Chalk up one to Obama here. He's the first President who has ever been able to embolden one of America's death enemies in the first month of his Presidency, except of course, for Jimmy Carter. To further follow Carter's lead, all Obama needs to do now is to go to Russia and grovel in front of Russia's KGB King Vladimir Putin; talk about a crazy man who can detect weakness!
Obama, after taking office, immediately attempts to approach the insane Akmadinijad, the same person who laughed at Jimmy Carter thirty years ago while he and others held American citizens hostage.
After bowing to the Arabs, Mr. "Change You Can Believe In", launches blunder number two; I really should not call this a blunder because just as in his "let's placate the Muslims" trick, Obama is equally complicit in the so called "Stimulus" bill. "Just trust me", Obama and his democrat supporters cry, "we know what's best", this surely is "change you can believe in". Please Mr. Obama and Congress, as one of my old friends likes to say, "I'm a little crazy, but I'm not stupid"!
If Mr. Obama is anywhere close to as smart as he wants us to think he is, he knows that this potentially ruinous, government power grab and bail out plan further weakens America. This massive trillion dollar spending package spends on and meddles in everything from health care, to immigration, to national security and privacy concessions. I'm always amazed that the democrats are always able to continue to do harm to the country while smiling into the camera and telling the American people, "we're doing this for you".
Obama and his democrat party have been warned repeatedly by the Congressional Budget Office and by financial experts all over the world that this bill may very well do more harm to the country than if they did nothing at all. Their arrogance elicits both bewilderment and anger from the American people. No one, not the President, not the Congress, not any government entity should be allowed to hold the American people in such disdain. And there you have the rub; here lies the comparison of Obama to Carter. Some say it is naivete, but in fact it is not. If it was, we could take some measure of comfort that they may soon learn, but it's not as simple as being naive. It is arrogance; arrogance by political newcomers who think they have all the answers. They think, "I was elected President of the United States--I've got the answers". Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama are and have always been, arrogant politically motivated sycophants who will do or say anything to advance themselves. The comparison of the two men's arrogance is valid and it will not take the American people long to recognize it. Let's just hope that happens soon!
