. . . that Tea Party and Republican extremists want the USA to default on its debt?
They do not wish him well. They do not wish him God Speed. Tea Party jingoists pray and hold novenas NOT for him but for the CHAOS that that disaster will "dump" on Obama's curly black head. Yes, "will 'dump.'" It is that certain. Oh! Joy to the World! He will become the first African-American president to also be the first American president to default on our debt. They'll love it.
It's a win-win situation for Republican extremists: Either Obama gives these bastards deep cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, S.S., etc., the "cuts" they say that they want--at bottom, take from black and brown people and from poor "druggy" white trash--or we will bring the Obama Administration to its knees and force it to default on the nation's debt. That's their self-hypnotized mantra. Oommmm.
Yet, the RADICAL Tea Party is itself divided into two insane camps. The debate: (1) Should they accept the steep cuts in "entitlement" programs that poker-player Obama and his golf-buddy Boehner have fashioned into a Grand Bargain? Or (2) should they reject these Obama-Boehner "compromises" and possibly --just possibly (because they're not sure that they could be so fortunate in their mad, end-run endeavor), bring the country to its fiscal "debt-ceiling" knees. What a coup that'd be!
Simply, in other words, do the extremist Tea Party dolts choose to destroy Obama directly or do they choose to destroy him by first destroying the American economy. And blaming it on him? Unless Obama can outmaneuver them, yes, it is their insane choice. Not his. Not ours.
Death by a thousand cuts? His death, understand.
Yes, they are nasty, perverse, vicious, one-dimensional, ignorant, and sometimes --give them credit--naive ideologues, and some are downright dumb, but they've taken control of the Republican Party. Or is that the Republic Party?
Either way, they figure that they win, and that Obama loses. To some, the goal is to Starve the Beast. To others, it is to cut spending. To all, however, it is to bring down Obama. BECAUSE, if they bring down Obama, they believe that they may then be able to win control of both Houses of Congress and the White House in 2012.
It'd be such a disgrace! Imagine! The first African-American president impeached; OR, the first president to preside over a U.S. default on its debt. Unimaginable! A Republican would never, NEVER have allowed that to happen. Only a Kenyan-European Socialist who hated Whites and a secret Muslim to boot who hated the United States of America would allow such a dastardly thing to happen. He's a traitor. The country would have no other choice in 2012 but to vote Republican. It'd be a patriotic vote. Vote for America!
If the USA defaults, they will IMPEACH Obama. They and the Fox non-News Network will blame him 24/7 for the economic and financial world-wide disaster that's sure to follow. If he uses the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to raise the debt ceiling by Executive Order, they'll IMPEACH him for doing that. The Koch Brothers will direct their Conservative lackey-Justices on the Supreme Court to RULE that the President has exceeded his authority: to RULE 5/4 that Obama's decision to raise the debt ceiling is unconstitutional.
SCOTUS has elected one Republican president. Bringing down a Democratic president will be child's play.
If Obama agrees to everything that Tea Party nuts, novices, and nabobs--Rich White Guys--in Congress want, they win; he loses. The American people lose, but since "they" are increasingly becoming darker, it does not matter. Does it?
Does no one--Does President Obama, say--understand that Tea Party and Republican extremists want the USA to default on its debt? They desire it. They hunger for it. They're APOCALYPTIC by birth. They'd love to see what happens "The day After the End of the World." They're salivating for it.
If the United States does not default, they still have a win-win situation. Why? Because their fallback strategy is global and just about as good as a default. Because just possibly the credit agencies will downgrade our credit rating. That will create the national and international chaos that will bring down the Obama Administration, too; it will lower our credit rating from AAA to AA, it will "goose" up interest rates, it will become a TAX on everybody, it will raise mortgage-interest rates on ARMS, etc., it will kill jobs, it will boost unemployment, it will delay any glimmer of economic recovery and further ruin the U.S. economy, and it will make it logical to blame it all on Obama, our first- and only-failed African-American president.
Not likely that the American electorate will vote for an African-American for president for another 300 years. Understand, that these apocalyptic bastards are disaster specialists. They thrive on end-of-the-world scenarios.
End of Story.
