Pete Sessions (repube): Obama Hurting Economy to Consolidate Power
Remember this asshat? He's head of the House Republican committee which is tasked with finding more members. Last February he said that the GOP should "model it's insurgency after the Taliban" in order to effect change over the Democrats.

Now he's saying that Obama plans to diminish employment and stock prices to divide and conquer for a complete power grab.

Article here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/05/11/pete-sessions-obama-hurti_n_201562.html

Rep. Pete Sessions, head of the House Republican committee tasked with electing more GOP members, has a unique theory as to why unemployment continues to rise: Obama wants to wipe out capitalism.

Deep into a New York Times item Monday about rising jobless numbers comes a theory that the Times gently refers to as an "argument" that "may indeed face an uphill fight."

Sessions told the Times that Obama's plan is to "diminish employment and diminish stock prices." By doing so, Obama "intended to inflict damage and hardship on the free enterprise system, if not to kill it" as part of a "divide and conquer" strategy to consolidate power.

The Times then follows with another understated gem: "Polls offer little evidence that Americans are prepared to accept those arguments."

3. nutty repubs
When joke the plumber drops out of the republican party and Rush the albino shock jock guerrilla is their voice, not much needs to be said. If there was ever a brand that is so out of touch, it's Repub Nation. Brings me so much joy to see (thems) unpatriotic citizens foolishness, so deserving. They are a bunch of losers. The management skills of Mr. Obama is what this great country needs now. The truth is, not many believe in the GOP anymore.

5. it's the other way around, it's the GOP who wants to see the economy fail
They want the job losses to continue and the the economy to get worse, hell some of them are even hoping for a terrorist attack, all to prove that Obama is not fit to lead.

The GOP all fear Obama succeeding because it spells trouble for them in 2010/2012.

7. Uh, I think the economy is actually better today than it was when Pres. Obama took office.
So if this is his plan, he's failing.
