The Real March Madness 2009

Tony Jingo
March madness is a term commonly used to describe the NCAA basketball championship tournament. Welcome to 2009, folks, where the real March madness can be found in Washington D.C; no, not as a result of the American Eagles basketball team, but as a result of Barack Obama's inept DC political team.

As your neighbors are losing their homes and jobs, not necessarily in that order, Barack Obama is putting on performances on late night TV inappropriately giggling about bowling scores. We should not begrudge our leaders their outlets, world leaders should be able to step back in order to re-energize and focus on pressing world issues.

Is the American president able to focus on the one issue that catapulted him into office, the economy? It doesn't appear Barack Obama is able to do that particularly with appointments such as Timothy Geithner and other irresponsible decisions.

As our economy is going the way of the Titanic, our president is making on air predictions for the NCAA basketball bracket; talk about March Madness. During sound times, NCAA predictions may be a light moment. However, when Barack Obama miscalculates the national deficit by 2.3 trillion dollars in the middle of a crisis, he cannot afford such leisure as college basketball predictions.

Barack Obama underestimated, in honor of presidential goofs perhaps that should be misunderestimated, his deficit increasing tactics by 2.3 trillion dollars. According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) Barack Obama's policies will create a 9.27 trillion dollar hole, $2.3 trillion more than Obama indicated.

Folks, the little Obamanomic miscalculation translates to more that a trillion-dollars a year, every year for nearly a decade. Who is doing the math in his team? Perhaps, it is the person hired to do so; our favorite tax cheat and self-proclaimed incompetent accountant Timothy F. Geithner. Hey mister can you spare a dime? This is the change you were promised, spare change.

Keeping with the spirit of madness are the misguided antics of many of our fellow citizens by aiming their outrage at the families including children of the AIG executives. Rich welfare recipients should indeed spur outrage, but folks, the target of that outrage should be the clowns that allowed it.

Those clowns can be found in the DC team that is tanking our economy, AIG is merely a straw among many that will break our backs. The top politicians that are complicit are prominently displayed. Namely, Senators Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, Treasury Secretary Geithner, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer and many more.

Some of those named started long before Barack Obama benefited from the side effects of Bush Derangement Syndrome, but all are emboldened and empowered since Obama took office. We can only hope that their bright spark will soon burn out.

President Obama's on the job training has brought us back to pre-9/11 safety standards and promised our children a future devoid of national prosperity. In addition to creating OJ like trials for enemy combatants, oh I forgot the Obama team doesn't want to offend our enemies and the term "enemy combatant" is not allowed.

More March madness is Barack Obama's home video of him utilizing his Farsi and genuflecting to the Mullahs of Iran wishing them a Happy Nowruz. Can it get any worse than this? Yes it can! Does anyone remember the Great Depression, the Day of Infamy, the tragic events of 9/11/01?

Are we a nation of cowards? Screaming at the kids of welfare recipients created by our government is not the answer to such egregious flaws and corruption by government officials. Teflon Obama is enjoying his popularity at the expense of your grandkid's future. March Madness will continue far into the November years.

    Isn't it amazing how easily we have begun to discuss the budget mess in trillions? I remember a time when the term "million" still meant something.

    Great article. One of Obamas first priorities was to pass an environmental law that will cost the affected industry millions of dollars. While its a good law, it's not appropriate for recessionary (depression?) times. Our unemployment in Elkhart hit 35%. That's only including those applying for unemployment, not those that ran out or have none available like the small businessman.

    Timothy Geithner was a disastrous choice for Secretary of the Treasury. There were far better selections available. I am still mystified why he is given such warm support from President Obama.

    4 years of madness.

  • Snidely Whiplash3/27/2009

    I'm afraid this madness will last way past March, my friend.

  • Kassidy Emmerson3/25/2009

    Tony Vega for President! You rock!

  • Justice Lives Not3/24/2009

    Remember when I said I'd support Obama until he did something to deserve otherwise? Well, I reckon I've seen enough. Him wanting our soldiers to kick in money for treating the wounds they sustained fighting for GOVERNMENT interests was the last straw! Madness? No, this is sociopathy all the way!

  • Kristie Leong M.D.3/24/2009

    You are correct, as usual, Tony. Great work!

  • Louisa Burgess3/24/2009

    Tony, I agree with some though not all of your cleverly written assessment. Well done my friend.

    Love the picture - Love the March Madness metaphor - I'm sure Obama would respond in person. He is a master of rhetoric, but I heard he had a gig with Kimmel tonight. Obama said the bulldog Biden was going to oversee the bailout because no one messes with Biden. Has anyone seen Biden lately? Is he locked in the bowling ally? Obama said the other day that "the buck stops here," now there's an irony. The bucks are on a roll -- no one can seem to stop spending them. You did a nice job articulating your perspective, with which I happen to agree.
