"Give us what we want or we will drop this nuclear weapon"...
How do you talk to people that refuse to listen or refuse to compromise or even refuse to talk? They make their demands and you can take it or leave it. They are willing to gamble with the well-being of the world. If the world goes into a depression, no problem. They will blame it on someone else. They always do.

Who do you think really screwed up this economy? Yep, that's right! They talk nonsense about a balanced budget and cuts in spending, blah, blah, blah. They had a balanced budget in 2001. They blew it! So now they want it again? And what's to keep them from keeping their spending off the books, as they did with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. If it's an emergency, you don't have to add it to our debt. Yeah, right...

What are you supposed to do if you are Barack Obama? Pay the ransom? Let them blow up the world? Their insanity knows no end. Nuclear weapons are just another weapon to gain and control power.

If the bluff is called and nothing is done and people begin to suffer, then whose fault would it be? So long as you can pin the blame on the other Party, who in the hell cares if the country goes under??

This is the dilemma now facing the President of the United States.

He has no choice but to talk to the American people. Just as FDR had his fireside chats, this President needs to educate the American people. His first task would be to tell the truth about what is happening...

1. Obama kept Bernanke and the other kleptomaniacs from the Bush administration
Obama is part of the problem.
