Orrin Hatch Goes Off: "Obama Is Responsible For The Destruction Of Our Country; He's Spending Us Into Bankruptcy" (WATCH)
Video: Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UTAH) with Don Imus -- May 31, 2010
Let's be clear. The debt and deficit problems are the handiwork of both parties. We appreciate Hatch's attempt to create debt/deficit awareness, but the Wall Street captured Senator's history is one filled with 'yea' votes on deficit spending. He, like every other Senator, deserves to be tossed aside in his next bid for reelection.
Why not start clean. Vote them ALL out.
Even though he is a bailout apologist, TARP lover and Bernanke fanboy, this is the 2nd time I've agreed with Hatch on the out of control deficit spending. Awesome clip all the way around. The pain begins at the 30-second mark.
- "If he keeps spending us into bankruptcy, we're going to be $20.3 trillion in debt by 2020."
- "We'll have a $1.3 trillion budget deficit in 2020 according to their own actuaries...$900 billion of it will be INTEREST ON THE DEBT!"
- "That ought to tell you that we're going in the wrong direction."
- "And I can tell you the people out there understand it, they're just sick and tired of the spending. We now have 18% of all wages are now being paid by the federal government. Now, tell me that's a good thing."
PLEASE email, facebook, re-tweet, share and take our stories with you when you leave. Our only weapon against the madness is GREATER AWARENESS. Just by sending this story to a few friends, you'll be contributing to the formation of an aggressive, educated voter base that understands the economic peril of our failed debt, deficit and spending policies. Thank you.

Blaming Bush makes all OK - right?
Agree 100% DB. The only thing I see slight variations in the degree to which they have failed us.

June 01, 2010The Smallest PresidentBy Geoffrey P. Hunt
Would someone remind us again why the nation elected this man to be president? A man with no resume, a man with no experience in running anything other than a political campaign, a man who is ignorant of history, economics, and technology? A man who is shallow and lazy? A man who shares neither character nor temperament with the American people in this vast republic? How did this happen?
Obama's presidency is finished because identity trumped competency. And without competency, his big government is dysfunctional and destructive.
Identity politics combined with incompetence have exposed the absurdity in the ambitions of big government and made Obama the weakest, most anemic and flaccid president in the modern era. The Latinate word would be diminutive. In simple Saxon tongue, the word is small. This is Obama's presidency.

Morris: Obama doesn’t have a clue
By Dick Morris - 06/01/10 07:03 PM ET
America is watching the president alternate between wringing his hands in helplessness and pointing his finger in blame when he should be solving the most pressing environmental problem America has faced in the past 50 years.
