Where was Barack Obama in 1990?


You may have noticed that Barack Obama is replacing his rhetoric about Slurpees and getting a car out of the ditch with crap about taxes on jet planes owned by rich people. I won’t point out that he’s the global leader in using the country’s largest private plane for his personal benefit.

But it’s worth remembering that Democrats used the “yacht” issue in 1990 to score political points. In 1990 the Democrats in congress decide it would be a great idea to put an added tax on yachts to raise revenue while bashing the “rich.” The result is that the rich stopped buying yachts and about 25,000 middle class boat builders lost their jobs.

Do you know where Barack Obama was in 1990? He was a school kid in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He was still in school the last time the Democrats acted this stupidly. Do we really have to drag the country through this again to teach this kid a lesson that many of us learned years ago? What does it take and what does the country have to pay to educate this stellar example of the Peter Principle, this embodiment of affirmative action?

We knew that “shovel ready jobs” was bullshit. Apparently Barry just found out.

Can someone get him a Slurpee and tell him to shut up? We’ll get this car out of the ditch by ourselves. And tell him to leave the jets alone or we’ll take his away.

The Dems understand that elections are PR much better than does the stupid party.

And they are especially adept at recycling old advertisements that proved effective.
