Barack Obama’s Secret Plan to Save America, Solve the Debt Crisis, and Fight the Freemasons

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  July 29th, 2011 at 11:00 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Apparently, according to White House Chief of Staff William Daley, Barack Obama has a secret plan to raise the debt ceiling. We’re not allowed to see it.

From the transcript with Wolf Blitzer:

BLITZER: So what you’re saying is the president did present a plan to the speaker, John Boehner.

DALEY: Yes.

BLITZER: But – but he didn’t…

DALEY: Right.

BLITZER: – make it public.

DALEY: No, because there’s… both the speaker and – and the president had agreed and – that these sort of negotiations do not happen in public.

Now, where have I seen that before?

Josh Lyman: Uh, long story short – you’re going to be reading a bit today about your secret plan to fight inflation.
President Josiah Bartlet: I have a secret plan to fight inflation?
Josh Lyman: No.
President Josiah Bartlet: Why am I going to be reading that I do?
Josh Lyman: It was suggested in the press room that you did.
President Josiah Bartlet: By who?
Josh Lyman: By me.
President Josiah Bartlet: You told the press I have a secret plan to fight inflation?
Josh Lyman: No, I did not. Let me be absolutely clear I did not do that. Except yes, I did that.
Bartlet: Are you telling me that not only did you invent a secret plan to fight inflation, but now you don’t support it?

I’m guessing we’ll see Barack Obama’s plan next summer in theaters. It’ll involve Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk, and Captain America with Samuel L. jackson as Barack Obama.

    If we want an authentic biopic, I think the nerd who played Steven Urkel is more like it.

    “Barack Obama has a secret plan to raise the debt ceiling. We?re not allowed to see it.”

    Remember when ObamaCare was rushed through and no one had enough time to to read it? What could they hide in a last minute bill? Deja vu all over again.

    Hopefully someone in Congress will stand up and say “I will not vote for a bill I haven’t read!”:

    Namely, his secret plan to end the Vietnam War.

    Trying to keep up with all this debt ceiling situation has been making my head spin while slowly sinking into a pit of depression. A bit of a chuckle on a Friday morning is much appreciated.

    negotiations should take place privately so that ideas can be thrown out by all sides without constant worry that people on either side may get riled up over any given point. Then you take the final product back for debate and a vote. Do you really think we are ever going to get entitlement reform by having the entire negotiation process in public?

    Jimmy Walker, J.J. of Good Times. That would be DY NO MITE!!

    There are committees and and a congress for a reason.

    Instead you had Obama coming out and saying he’s offered all sorts of entitlement reform and drastic cuts and blah blah blah. It’s all vapor until it’s made public.

    Every time I hear Jay Carney or one of those other knuckleheads saying “The President has offered a detailed framework yada yada yada” I always wonder why the next question isn’t “Would that be the one that lost 97-0 in the Senate or the one where not a single detail has been made public or scored by the CBO?”

    Alfred E Newman. Just get Barry a red dye job.

    Now More than Ever, Read the Bill

    made him irrelevant to this conversation when not one of them would vote for the ONLY plan he laid on the table it was so crazy.

    And then his own party refuses to vote for the grand compromise he demanded.

    And then he claims that he agreed to a compromise with republicans on a bill that would reduce spending by $4 trillion and that republicans cratered to agree to $800 billion in ‘new revenue’. But did Boehner agree to that? The only thing that Boehner said is that the offer he put on the table is still there? So what was it, really? What really happened in those ‘secret’ negotiations? Seems to me they’re so secret Boehner hasn’t even said what they were.

    But now all that’s irrelevant and the ‘secret meetings’ are going on between Boehner, Reid, and McConnell. And their ‘secret’ negotiations are throwing krap ‘ideas’ not even bills on the floor that reduce ‘current’ spending or programs at all, just future.

    Is that Erick watched The West Wing.

    “DALEY: Well, I – I – I don’t – no one can guarantee that, obviously. The rating agencies which make that judgment will look at this and will look at what comes out of this effort and to see whether or not – two things, whether or not we have a serious attempt that’s going to affect the deficit and reduce the deficit and get this cloud of another vote of another debt ceiling of uncertainty off of the table for at least 18 months, until – it’s not about the election, it’s trying to give the general economy a chance to get healthier over the next 18 months.”

    Except Obama already admitted it IS about the election, otherwise there is nothing magical about 18 months. And Obama praised Ye Olde Congresses from the Reagan days, but they actually raised the ceiling 18 times in Reagan’s Administration – an average of once every six months.

    Lie like a dog: it’s the Chicago Way.

    negotiations done in private should stay that way until you have something concrete that comes up for debate. Leaking various points of the negotiations that favor you is a good political tactic, but a very poor negotiating one.

  • MF

    it would be Will Smith who would play Obama. It has to be someone much younger than Samuel L. Jackson, not as dead as Michael Jackson, and of course far more ‘hip’. Obama sees himself like that – cool, powerful, all that.
