The Obama-Limbaugh Bipartisan Stimulus Plan of 2009
A pretty well-crafted response to Obama’s Friday invitation for Rush to join the party. A ‘genuine compromise’, true bipartisanship. Rush Limbaugh splits the bailout between tax cuts and shovel digs. The core of Rush’s plan…
“Fifty-three percent of voters in this country — we’ll say, for the sake of this proposal, 53% of Americans — voted for Obama. Forty-six percent voted for Senator McCain, and 1% voted for wackos. Let’s give the remaining 1% to President Obama, so let’s say that 54% voted for President Obama and 46% voted for Senator McCain. As a way to bring the country together and at the same time determine the most effective way to deal with recessions, under the Obama-Limbaugh Stimulus Plan of 2009, $540 billion of the one trillion will be spent on infrastructure as defined by President Obama and the Democrats. The remaining $460 billion, or 46% that voted for Senator McCain, will be directed towards tax cuts, as determined by me.”
Brilliant! The Keynsyian set gets to build their roads and bridges, pay for parks and abortions; Obama gets to hand out shovels to peoples who would rather have free gas and their mortgages paid for; and the supply sider’s get corporate tax breaks and capital gains tax cuts, to really set things in motion. A little bit for everyone; and the president gets to save face (after all, he brought Rush into this, as Rush will certainly remind him for 3 hours a day, 5 days a week, for as long as it takes..)
Why would Rush back $540 Billion in Government Spending, you ask?
Rush had to give a concession to Government spending because he was forced by necessity (Obama WON, don’t you know?), but Rush performed a feint within a feint by choosing the $540 Billion figger based on Obama’s percentage of actual voting supporters. Because Baracky won, everyone knows there’s going to be massive payouts from Obama to his peeps and to lefty special interests; these payouts will be not-so-cleverly disguised as part of the O!ne with Twelve Zero’s financial bailout, so for Rush to offer to almost halve the requested One TRiLLiOn dollars would be a significant cut thereof. Future taxpayers would be so happy, as they would get to keep that much of their own money for themselves (selfish bastards!)
The real feint in this offer is Rush reminding Teh One (and his supporters) that 46% of the people in the U.S. voted against BHO (a vote for McCain, at least in my case, was really a nose-holding vote against Obama) and even though it seems that BHO is overwhelmingly in control of Government, there’s millions and millions of people who aren’t so happy with his planned excesses. Barry is working overtime to ’save’ this nation into something unrecognizable.
Don’t worry, leftys. O! won’t bite on Rush’s plan. But if his trillion-dollar bailout fails, Katy bar the door. There will be hell to pay. Four years and done, don’t you know.

No bailout! I thought Obama said No Earmarks?
