Another Week, Another Crisis!
AGAINST IT BEFORE THEY WERE FOR IT: Whistleblower Senior National Political Affairs Analyst Britt Humus says last week’s Crisis was all about Obama and his Disingenuous DemocRATS in the Senate sort of shutting down the government, and strangely enough, nothing really bad happened. So this week, everybody in Washington is talking about this week’s crisis, and according to The Blower’s Countdown Counter at the lower right hand corner of this page, we’re now about a week away from reaching the Armageddon that would follow if the nation would ever blow past its Debt Limit.
That means Congress will have to vote on raising the nation’s debt limit, so they can spend more imaginary money they don’t have. But The Blower doesn’t understand the controversy, since Obama already said he was against increasing the debt limit, back when he was in the US Senate. In fact all 48 Deceitful DemocRATS voted AGAINST increasing the Debt Ceiling In 2006, and today every last one of them can’t wait to raise it.
- THE LATEST POLLS: Whistleblower Pollster Ron Rasmussen says most Americans agree with the Old Obama, because if it were up to the American public today, they would vote “No,” since a majority believes the debt limit should only be raised after major spending cuts have been made.
- Of course, Senate DemocRATS could always introduce legislation giving Obama authority to raise the debt ceiling unless two-thirds of Congress disapproves. An initial test vote on the proposal could occur as soon as October 11, just six days before federal borrowing authority is set to expire. No wonder Obama handed total responsibility for raising the Debt Limit to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who was busy mocking Republican House Speaker John Boehner for being a “Coward” from the Senate Floor, where he enjoys immunity from lawsuits, and as long as he’s not slandering another Senator, he can say whatever he wants. At the same time Obama’s White House Spokes Dweeb Jay Cardboard insulted America’s intelligence, claiming Obama has been open to Negotiations with the GOP all along. Boehner, on the other hand, was enjoying that fantastic 10-course black-tie dinner with all those Fat Kat Republican Contributors at the Queen City Club on Fourth Street, an event somehow our Fabulous Fishwrappers managed to miss.
But $3.15 trillion in automatic government spending will go on in spite of Obama’s Childish Crisis,” because only small portion of the Federal budget is actually affected. Some $2.5 trillion (more than 66% of all Federal spending) is called “mandatory,” and is automatically spent without any further vote by Congress.
Meanwhile, Obama’s Organizing for America is e-mailing Obama’s Followers claiming those TEA Party Republicans are sabotaging our economy — all because they don’t like ObamaCare. But not to worry: No matter how hard they try, ObamaCare is the law, and it’s here to stay. Obama says his Unaffordable Care Act is moving forward. The Funding is already in place, and there’s no way you can shut it down.
Maybe that’s why when Obama held his rare press conference Tuesday afternoon, Obama’s Media Lapdogs failed to ask a single question about the ObamaCare Rollout Fiasco. The Blower wasn’t a bit surprised.
- WHISTLEBLOWER BUSINESS EDITOR MERRILL FORBES says the negative market activity over the past couple of days has been noticed and is starting to become a pressure point. Overall pressure on Congress and the President is building also because the debt ceiling crisis is perceived to be a far greater threat to the economy than the partial government shutdown. This pressure is a prerequisite for a solution.
The showdown has gotten personal, though neither side will publicly talk about that. Not only will important policy issues have to be resolved, but leaders from both sides will have to overcome their own sense of deep mistrust and dislike for the other — not an easy thing to do.
Potential solutions? Ideas are floated and shot down every 30 minutes. We are not close enough to the perceived deadlines — October 17 and the week after — for either side to be desperate enough to play their most valuable cards just yet. We may not see that until next week. Unfortunately, we see a “kick-the-can-down-the-road” solution as far more likely than any meaningful deficit reduction package at that time.
AMNESTY UPDATE: Tuesday, the Obama administration promoted a big Labor Union La Raza Amnesty Rally on the National Mall, even though it is was supposed to be closed due to the Federal Government Shutdown. That means Obama’s Gestapo Park Service was still saying “No” to Vets visiting War Memorials, but “Yes” to Radical Pro-Illegal Immigration Supporters.- OUR LATE NIGHT TV JOKEWATCH liked Jimmy Fallon’s: “Joe Biden had to cancel his appearance at a Democratic fundraiser tonight because of the government shutdown. It got awkward when they announced that Biden wasn’t coming and raised twice as much money.”
- IN OHIO: Senator Rob “Fighting for Filibusters” Portman is circulating a plan to cut federal spending and reform the U.S. tax code and amazingly, it doesn’t include a Same-Sex Marriage Deduction.
- HURLEY THE HISTORIAN says on this date in 1961, Dusty Baker was not the manager, but with the help of a pair of five-run innings at Crosley Field, the Yankees still won the World Series, beating the Reds in Game 5, 13-5.
- OUR QUOTE FOR TODAY COMMITTEE chose Jacques Barzun’s, “Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball.” But The Blower likes Yogi Berra’s, “Ninety percent of the game is half mental.”
RACIAL HEALING UPDATE: Did top White House Advisor Dan Pfeiffer, actually accidently tweet the word “Nigger?” Locally, some folks are even wondering if Cincinnati is finally getting whiter. Down at Mediocre American Ball Park, Dusty Baker is finally gone, because Reds fans were as unhappy as Veterans with Obama these days after all those years without a playoff win. And down at Paul Brown Stadium, Coach Marvin Lewis got the message, and the Bungals actually came to play last Sunday against the Patriots. Plus Cincinnati’s last two police chiefs (Disgraced Former 14-star Police Chief James Craig and our Current Clueless Chief from Columbus), the City’s track record for appointing incompetent black people to positions of responsibility is mind boggling. And after eight long years of Girly Mayor Mark Mallory’s Liberal Lunacy, you can call The Blower “racist” if you want, but we’re going out on a limb today and predict that 27 days from now, voters will go to the polls in Cincinnati and elect a white mayor. Maybe you should call those voters “Racist.” 
FECKLESS FISHWRAPPERS say Soreheads in the Suburbs should really care about the outcome of the Cincinnati’s Mayor’s Race between Disguised DemocRAT John Cranley and Unabashed Liberal DemocRAT Foxy Roxy Qualls. For most of them it would be like voting for the lesser of two evils, except those whose place of employment is inside the City Limits and have 2.1% of their earnings confiscated so our Nine Fine Clowns can piss away their hard-earned over-taxed payers dollars on silly streetcars and needle exchanges. Will Surbanites give up on the City? They already have. That’s one reason you didn’t see a Republican candidate for Mayot this year. The other reason is Hamilton County RINO Party Boss Alex T., Mall Cop GOP. Long ago “Old BlueFace” threw in that towel.
After a debate last week, Foxy Roxy said something unreal: “I realized last night that people want a cage fight, not a policy discussion.” Poor Roxanne, she’s just too smart for everyone else.
Republicans for Higher Taxes believe Foxy Roxy is right to be upset with the voters. They don’t understand how great her stadium tax has been for us. They don’t understand how great the streetcar will be. They don’t understand how great the parking plan is. Roxanne would be our next Mayor if only voters were smart enough to understand what awesome ideas the streetcar, parking plan, and stadiums really are.
NOW HERE’S THE LATEST ON THE CINCINNATI MAYOR’S RACE FROM BUNKY TADWELL, THE BARD OF CLEVES:
Two Bad Choices
Cincinnati has two choices running for mayor
They have records for all to see.
You might well know their names—
Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee.
WHISTLEBLOWER INTERNS Rachel, Bradley, Ashley, and Hunter say 22 years ago, when The Whistleblower used to be printed and delivered all over town, Issue # 71 published on October 8, 1991 including the Top Ten Reasons Judge Nadine Allen gave for attempting to influence another judge hearing the drug trafficking trial of a family friend. - SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL REDSKINS: Last week after Obama said that if he owned the Washington Redskins, he would “think about changing” the team name, wading into the controversy over a football nickname that many people deem offensive to Native Americans. Locally candidates for the Forrest Gump School Board say surely Obama has more important things to worry about these days, while Anderson TEA Party Secretary Harriet Anderson, in true “Blazing Saddles” fashion, remembers the letter she wrote to Obama earlier this year: “We, the White, God-fearing Citizens of Anderson Township, wish to express our extreme displeasure with your support for comments about our beloved Redskins. Please change your position immediately! The fact that you have done this just goes to prove that you are the leading asshole in the entire country!”
- IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY: Bluegrass Bureau Chief Ken CamBoo says the latest and greatest e-dition of Our Good Friend Kenton County Commonwealth’s Attorney E Rob Sanders subtle and understated e-newsletter is on cyber news stands now. This week’s This Week In Kenton Circuit Court features lots of felons wearing pink but Billy Bob the Bluegrass Bailiff tells us every month is breast cancer awareness month at the Kenton County Detention Center because the inmates are always in pink! Even the Robster and his posse of pitbull prosecutors got in on the pink fashion declaring “Pink Tie Monday” every week in October. Here’s some ugly mugs of scumbags, low lifes, and other criminals who will join the pink fashion celebration.
WHISTLEBLOWER FILM CRITIC EBERT MALTIN says these people remind him of watchingzombie movies, which reminds him too much of politics during the age of Obama. And yet, like zombies themselves, they are almost impossible to avoid.”- AND DID YOU SEE WHERE RICK”THE BAT BOY” ROBINSON thinks former Senator “BeanBall Jim” Bunning should come out of retirement to become baseball’s next Commissioner? Maybe Rick thinks his former boss could help him get some of those hard-to-get Florence Freedom tickets.
- FINALLY, AT YESTERDAY’S BRIBE LUNCH AT THE OLIVE GARDEN, a Political Consultant asked Charles Foster Kane what would happen to the Cincinnati Streetcar Boondoggle if Disguised DemocRAT John Cranley gets himself elected Mayor in only 27 more days. “He promised to kill it,” our Beloved Whistleblower Publisher explained. “And it would be a good time for Liberals to learn not matter how much money they’ve already wasted on a stupid idea, it’s never too late to stop pissing over-taxed payers’ money away down a rat hole.”
