Ann Coulter: Although ‘It’s Entirely Obama’s Fault,’ GOP Will Be Blamed For Default

video
» 93 comments

It’s coming down to the wire for Congress to pass a budget that will allow the nation to pay off enough of its debt to stay afloat, and with Cut, Cap and Balance unlikely to become law, the odds that America will have an even more serious economic problem on its hands next week keeps growing. But who will be to blame? On last night’s Follow the Money, Ann Coulter told host Eric Bolling she fully expects Republicans to take the blame when national parks and museums shut down.

Bolling began the segment with what could perhaps be interpreted as some of the tell-tale signs that the Republicans, despite having control only of the House of Representatives, will receive most of the blame– especially the Tea Party faction. “With friends like these, who needs enemies?” he said of Sen. John McCain‘s Senate floor speech comparing the Tea Party to the hobbits in Lord of the Rings, and citing a column by Thomas Friedman comparing the Tea Party to Hezbollah. Coulter didn’t seem surprised by the attacks– “These elected Republicans are in a very difficult position… a lot of stuff is going to be shut down,” she noted, “and it will be blamed on the Republicans, utterly unfairly.” Coulter also argued that the Democrats were leveraging this fact to their advantage, realizing that the ball is in their opponent’s court.

Bolling, meanwhile, did not seem to buy the idea that the government will be severely hampered by the default. “There’s going to be no government shutdown,” he told Coulter, though emphasizing the default would be problematic. “The big stuff will be paid for, but for how long?” she retorted, noting that in the similar 1995 government shutdown, Republicans got blamed for the inability for the government to fully function. Part of the blame, she argued, was the perception that Republicans “hate the government and they think we’re secretly cheering”– a point she had made on Hannity a night before– but unlike in that appearance, she argued stridently that this was not the case: “Republicans are doing everything they can to keep the Smithsonian open.” “Where has the President been on this?” Bolling replied somewhat exasperated, answering his own question with the suggestion that “maybe he’s been picking Michelle’s vegetables.” Coulter agreed that his leadership had been lacking, but unlike Peggy Noonan, refused to call him a “loser”: “that’s mean, and we’re not supposed to be mean.”

    Of course Republicans will be blamed. Until (as if ever) the media is no longer made up of 99% Dems, we’ll be blamed for everything, it ain’t exactly rocket science. A Republican walking on the beach could save a drowning child and the press would frame the whole story as “The child would have never been in danger had republican policiesnot cut back funding for LifeGuards” etc etc etc etc….

    Their (the media) job is to advance the Democrat party, always has been always will be.

    Default will be blamed on GOP by DNC, on DNC by GOP and the rest of the country will just live with default and go on. America will survive. Neither one of these “special” clubs will actually cause a total destruction of America no matter how hard both sides seem to try. We will just improvise and continue as we always have. It’s actually lack of voter turnout and those that voted all the nuts in Washington fault.
     
    You do realise we been talking about a credit rating and not wanting to pay the countries debt off? We as a country want to keep BORROWING.. ofcourse “we” means “our” money “we” earn pays it off. I don’t remember these guys working those long hours along side me for “me” to make “we” money? What happened to just living and within means?
     
    Such a stupid country.. these are our? leaders, and we embrace them? and allow them to have their own medical and retirement plans better than what they put on us? And then they say they might not pay for “ours” although it is ‘OUR” money? Allow them to live at the top of the food chain and make decisions?  lol, not me.. time for BIG Change.. you people are surely not that blind and stupid to keep voting these foolish people in are you? They insult you and family on a daily basis! You enjoy being put down every day by what “we” voted in?
     
    How anyone can be for either party has to be a total brainwash. How can you hold your head up and be proud of EITHER party? The first thing I do when entering a voting booth i check for Incumbents.. I avoid that name with a passion.. then I see if someone is “new” that might do better and make a difference, they surely can not do worse and wont have that pompous ass expectation they are better than those they serve and have entitlements above those that voted them in. Total fail as a Country when we allow such fools serve shit as servants and we eat it. “Wake the F*ck up!” don’t “Go the F*ck to sleep!”

    Don’t like the Tea Party? Start a new party for a few voting years called “Incumbents out, all Parties!” Tell me, how could we go wrong with that? seriously? how? We have a failing leadership across the board.
     
    I only have one weapon for defense. My Vote.

    Quit drinking the Kool Aid.

    A) The Congress (Republican in this instance) has control of the budget. They passed the current budget bill and now don’t want to raise the debt limit to pay for it.

    B) See above, (and review your High School Civics text. The President is not a legislator. It’s not the President’s job to propose legislation, his power in this instance it to either sign the legislation after it goes through the House and the Senate, or to veto said legislation.

    C) this “crisis” is entirely the making of the Tea Party Terrorists who want to see the government collapse. It will be interesting to see what these “strict constitutionalists” say if the President decides to follow the XIV ammendment, Article 4 to the Constitution. That article seems to say The U.S. has to pay the debts congress sets forth in the budget.

  • Michelle

    Well, the Repubs are the only ones putting forth plans so I don’t think the people will blame.them.  The corrupt, liberal media on the other hand will do everything in their power (which is quickly fading due to their extreme bias) to try to convince people that the Repubs are to blame.  I’ve posted several comparisons on how the media has covered the economy under Bush and Obama to prove my point. 

  • http://www.IndiaCurry.com Yogi Gupta

    I am a conservative. We should respect the office of the POTUS, it does not matter who occupies it. Peggy Noonan was stupid to call Obama, a loser. It served no useful purpose. Since the start of 2008 elections, Peggy has unsuccessfully tried to be relevant. For the delight of GOP establishment and the Democrats, Peggy has bad-mouthed Sarah Palin, criticized teaparty, as well as praised Obama. She is a poor lost soul with no relevance. Peggy is the real loser.
    GOP should remember the big compromises of 1982 and 1990. These resulted in tax increases, and a promise of spending cuts that never took place. After the vote in the house on Boehner plan, the GOP should just declare victory and let it rest. If you have read the analysis on the Daily Caller, the big tax cuts are already included in the Reid plan backed by Obama. Five of the GOP senators have already implied their support of the Reid plan. GOP won the battle, but the actual victory will go to Democrats and Obama. History of 1982 and 1990 will repeat, taxes will increase in the name of ‘balanced approach’, spending cuts will never materialize. The broadcast print and online media will hand over the victory in the name of another big compromise to the President. The media has already labled teaparty memebres as obstructionists, and even racist. History repeats.

  • Valerie

     Well Michelle I don’t think you’re half as smart as Ann Coulter so forgive me If I take her side and suggest once again that you don’t know what you’re talking about-the American people ill hold the GOP responsible because you guys still haven’t faced up to the fact that Bush screwed the country over-and don’t tell me he didn’t because I suspect you are no fan of TARP-1-which was his brainchild to save the banking system. I bet you’re extremely confused and conflicted as to why that little bit of socialism worked.

    You really need to learn to stop being such a victim as there are now news outlets that cater to you conservatives.

  • ImNotBlue

    Didn’t someone offer a similar opinion yesterday?  Oh that’s right… it was me…

    Let me put forth a little prediction on all this mess.  No matter how any of this winds up, the media will report it as “bad for the Republicans.”

    IF the Republicans sign on to the Democrat’s “plan,” it will be reported as a “failure for the Tea Party,” and a major loss for Boehner.

    IF the Democrats sign on to the Republican’s plan, it will be reported that the Republicans were stubborn and unwilling to compromise, while the Democrats fought for the good of the country and did what they had to do to protect all of us.

    IF nothing gets done, then the Republicans will be to blame for being stubborn, unwilling to compromise, and so on… ignoring Reid’s statements that he’d kill a bill he hasn’t yet seen, and that Obama never actually produced anything of substance.

    It’s a lose-lose-lose for the Republicans… or that’s how it will be framed, anyway.

    But as polling data suggests, much of the American public isn’t buying it anymore.  You’d think with all the spin coming from the news networks, the left would be on much more solid footing.  Kinda makes you wonder where they’d actually be if things were truly balanced.

    The effects of the default are already being seen on the stock market. The blame has already been assigned.

    The critical thing to understand, and I have not seen anybody say this, is that failing to pay millions of people, whether you think they earned it or not, their federal wages, salaries, or benefits will cause millions of “tiny” defaults, i.e. bankruptcies. That alone will crash the economy.

    Bottom line: The majority of people will blame those who refused to compromise on principle and continued to deny that anything bad would happen. When it does, and that will come very soon, the lie (or mistake) will be obvious.

    Worse case: Shut it down—— this gets rid of the progressive base (gov’t unions).

Republicans will be blamed by the liberal “media” regardless of true fault (if any). Dems will still get their butts kicked in 2012.

    Wrong. I blame the Repubs & TP for this mess. They’re playing cat and mouse with the countries future as well as the rest of the worlds future.  I’m thankful I don’t belong to any side, all of them are inept at what they do, but the Repubs & TP are the worst of the lot.

     As Devils Spawn commented, the effects have already started. I’ve watched my retirement investments take a dive, as have many others I know. My opinion only, Repubs don’t care about the people, they never have, they never will. They have narrow minded thinking, dark ages thinking, & such fanatical over religious thinking, that it takes over any rational/sensible thinking that might be in a pea corner of their brains.  A good half of them should be ashamed to show their faces in a church they’re such hipocrites.  Sarah Palin & Michele Bachmann being prime examples.

    Repubs, Dems, all of them as far as I’m concerned, are useless asses. These are the people that were elected to work for the GOOD of the people. Not one of them has shown that they are. The freaking bickering like school children doesn’t do much to help the people, except prove to them that the elected are a bunch of incompetent fools. The only thing the whole bloody lot of them might be qualified for, is picking up garbage in the streets. Even that, the average Joe or Jane would probably do a better job.

    The White House and Leftist media talking points were planned all along. Supposedly, last summer was recovery summer. Sorry to break your belief bubble there people, it is really QUITE SIMPLE.

    2010 US Federal deficit spending- 9.6% of GDP
    2010 stated GDP growth- 2.6% of GDP
    2010 effective GDP growth- NEGATIVE 7%

    Depression is defined as 4 contiguous quarters of declining GDP

    The leftists in both parties created a recession through the Community Reinvestment Act put forth by Carter and expanded under Clinton. Then Bush helped by not shutting it down. Enter a recession.

    Then, in comes Barrack insane Obama and the Depression is created by forcing through millions of new regulations.

    It is the Leftist’s Depression. It is all THEIR’s! Thanks lefties (aka statists).

    Really.  So that is the problem in all of this hulabaloo?  Republicans are to “blame for what is going on entirely” ?  Wow.  How did you come up with that conclusion?  Where do you get your news?  I haven’t been able to draw such a conclusion.  Please rescue me.

    Yet, even though I am unable to come to such a profoundly deep conclusion as FrogFace Kermit, I have been able to enjoy some of the talk amongst crazy Republicans like Rand Paul.  Last night on the John Batchelor Show, Senator Paul (who has been called any number of names by his adversarial Democratic Senate colleagues) said that a one per cent baseline cut over the next 8 years would balance the budget and severely cut the deficit. 

    Why? Because a one per cent baseline cut would cut actual spending and not cut “proposed spending” which is being debated now.  The two houses of prostitution in DC are debating how much to cut on “proposed spending” increases, such as what would include ObamanationCare and hikes in expenditures to hire new democrats in federal jobs etc.  The cuts being dangled are cuts to proposed increases, not the spending that is already automatically set to kick in during the next budget cycle.  So, let me break this down for ya FrogBoy—

    Harry Reid is proposing Senate endorsed spending increases to keep building the ObamaCare behemoth. For sake of argument he is proposing $10 in new spending.  His bill says let’s cut that proposed spending by 10 per cent.  So he is proposing a net spending increase of 9 bucks.  Wow!

    Paul is saying, ditch the proposed spending, and in effect defund any Obama new spending initiatives like ObamaCare, and cut one per cent across the board, all federal departments (units reporting to a cabinet position) managed by the executive branch.  That is real spending that goes up a certain percentage *built in* to each new budget.  Cut the baseline and the built in spending (unfunded liabilities) is decreased as well.  Real cuts.  Saving trillions and negating any new Democratic pipedreams of higher spending that will soon force tax increases and continued debt ceiling increases as well.

    So, FrogBoy, how do you come up with all Republicans being whack jobs as well as being the complete source of the problem?  Spell it out for me.

    LOL!!!! TEA Party terrorists.  That about sums it up, you robot.  The President cannot invoke the 14th ammendment to unilaterally usurp Congressional budgetary authority.  That doofus Geithner set that prank in motion is a press gag that they swallowed hook line and sinker— the same way that they swallowed the debt ceiling “Crisis”, if unresolved would lead to default.  Egg on your faces is all you are going to get as the Aug 2 “deadline” expires and nothing happens.  The markets short down over “uncertainty”, all the investment banks make bank on the obvious, and then it is more profit as the stock markets move forward again next week.  Why? BECAUSE NOTHING WILL HAPPEN if the Republicans don’t blink.  The First Negro President is toast over this.  It doesnt matter who the “newspapers” blame….. the worn out Clinton strategy has no legs this time—– the nation is broke and the Tea Party couldn’t care less what Democrat voters think or who they want to blame.  They know they will be villified by ingrates like yourself no matter what they do— so they are doing their jobs.

    Then, once real voters discover what a lame duck putz President Moslem Noodle is they will clean his clock at election time because the debt ceiling will be an issue again, which puts his noodle brained economic agenda squarely in the crosshairs of debate for the 2012 election.  And he’ll be slammed as he manages to lose the Senate to those infernal Tea Party Terrorists, plus the presidency to a fiscal conservative.

    Boo-flippin-hooo!  If you are going to believe Geithner and President Douche Bag, you are in for a reality sandwich as the meltdown that occurs will not be the economy as much as it will be a meltdown of the Democratic party’s propaganda mill.

    The spending on ObamaCare will make TARP-1 (tell us about TARP-2 when you have a moment, please) look like a bingo nite.  TARP-1 funds got paid back.  ObamaCare is going to be a one way cash outlay boondoggle that creates a bureaucracy from hell, pension obligations that cant possibly be paid, and insurance loss coverage that will be incurred by the Feds nationalizing health care.  TRILLIONS! And no value created for those costs….  So enlighten us more on how all of this is Bush’s fault, and President Kobe Beef Arugula Snout is off the hook on this money printing charade he has engineered.  Oh, he also extended the evil Bush tax cuts so that makes them his, doesn’t it? Do the Democrats own anything accept investment properties financed by Franklin Raines and Jamie Gorelick’s Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?  Just wondering.  At least Bush warned Congress that those two whores were bleeding the public dry with their mismanagement along with Little Barry’s future campaign donors over at Lehman Bros, Goldman, Salomon et al over on Wall Street.  There is enough grease to go around on who is responsible—– Namely EVERYBODY in Washington who was around during the second Clinton Admin up to present time.

    Obama rating hits new low in key poll

    StoryComments (NaN)
    : US President Barack Obama’s job approval rating slumped to a personal low of 40 percent in a public opinion survey, a possible reflection of the political war over US debt. In the survey results out yesterday, The respectedGallup polling organisation said Obama had previously slipped to 41 per cent several times since taking office in January 2009, but noted his approval rating was 50 per cent as recently as June 7. The president’s new 40 per cent figure closely tracked the 41 per cent who approved his handling of the angry stalemate in the US Congress over raising the country’s 14.3 trillion USD debt ceiling to avert a disastrous default.

    What surplus? Clinton increased the debt by over  $1.2 trillion before he left office. Is that the new lib accounting? If it’s less that $5 trillion , it doesn’t matter?
     
    And those two wars? Who is continuing them and got the US into a 3rd which he said would be a matter of days and not weeks?

  • Xraex413

    Im so tired of this its all Obama’s fault. This mess started before him, and is continuing during his presidency. Both democrats and republicans played a part in this. Where was all the complaining and finally wanting to get control of spending during George Bush’s presidency. Im also tired of the race card, it needs to stop, its only happening now because its a democrat in office. This is all just a big political game and we the people are stuck in the middle. No one should fall into this crap, all they want to do is build their political party get re-elected etc.. we the people probably dont even make it in the top 5 of these politicians priorities. This mess started with Bush their is no denying it and its continuing under Obama which has not made it that much better. The unemployment was already around 7% during Bush’s term and its going up under Obama. So enough with its all Obama’s fault and enough of its because of race. ALL of them screwed the people.

    So Boiling is happy that BO is failing, just to get a Republican elected. People losing their jobs and homes do not matter as long as one of their own is in the white house. Well done guys.

    Republicans have voted to increase the debt ceiling 4 toimes in the last week. Democrats have voted against doing it 4 times in the last week. Obama has said that bills to increase the debt ceiling will never become law.

    Who wants the system to collapse? Democrats. Cloward-Piven is here, thanks to Barack Obama.

    You said he hadn’t put a plan on paper and yet he has. That it was rejected is not his fault. He put forth a plan. He detailed cuts in spending- too deep for Democrats and not deep enough for Republicans. Of course, the Republicans are throwing themselves in front of the bullets to protect the wealthiest while the Democrats are trying to protect the working class and the lowest income citizenry. Something wrong when the poorest among us are being targeted to protect the wealthiest.

    fishchef, I have had this conversation a thousand times on the internet. Every time a leftist (aka statist) tries to pigeonhole me in my supposed benefits, all they can come up with is the military issue.

    Of course, that backs them into the corner of their own beliefs, where they believe the US military should not be doing what they do, which of course is MY POSITION. It is really frustrating for them. Hopefully you do not fall for the same trap.

    I want NOTHING from my federal government except what is laid out exactly in Section 8. Heck, I could do with a few of those not being enforced, but because it is in the Constitution, I will abide by it.

    BUT, when my taxes are used for anything that is outside the federal government parameters, you can be assured, I will do my best to fight that.

    They put forward “plans” that were not going to be adopted. They did this inspite of being told tht they would be rejected. They did this in spite of the wishes of the vast majority of Americans who said their plans should have a tax increase, they did this whilst the stock markets were falling, they did this with the world’s economies on the edge of a cliff, they did this knowing that pensioners, soldiers and students would be harmed by their grand standing and they did this with less than 4 days before the deadline.

    Voters will remember the Tealiban on election day.

    I suppose Jobs was really funded by the government, how bout Gates?

    Are you high what do any of those people have to do with pushing mosaic bill gates never thought more than8 kilobytes of memory would be needed investing in the creation of technologies that may or may not ever come to fruition such as landing on the moon is never something private business does what interstate freeways have they built the idea of graphics based internet based internet in 1990 was exactly that p.c.’s weren’t that popular so it was extremely risky to invest in a technology which would be directed at a user base that didn’t exist.As far as my depiction of a crime things like that happen and while not that often the idea that you would always win a battle between yourself and armed assailants is a bit ludicrous nobody is that bad everyone has there match bad things happen to people every single day. To say you are some how charmed and will never get into a traffic accident or need any sort of aid, I don’t know who you think you are.
      And by the way cost education is quite high in the states and is one of the reasons microsoft has to import engineers from foreign countries.So pretty soon Americans will be the minimum wage labor force European countries that will be training and teaching their kids to be our bosses.Ikeda has already moved a furniture factory to take advantage of poorly educated  low wage workers U.S.A. suppliers of cheap labor is not the American dream it’s a 3rd world reality we are quickly approaching.

    Several states, including a state I know well, after passing term limit laws, found themselves with a predominantly new legislative body within a few years after the legislation took effect. The results played out in the legislative session that took place after those people took office. Chaos reigned. Without the legislative memory with those who had some experience, consensus was impossible to find. Very little legislation made it into law and some of the members had a tendency to not only ignore but refuse to talk to members of the public that were not supporters or influential. I watched as constituents were insulted. (Had I had video instead of camera, I would have surely had some damaging information against those who were so arrogant as do ignore people in their district.) But the point is, we have a bunch of freshman legislators that think compromise is a dirty word.

    I’ve got a tea bag for ya. Also, Bush tried twice to reign in the CRA debacle and Frank and Dodd shot him down both times.

    They probably had good reason for not to compromise, sometimes you do what your sent to office to do instead of compromise. I believe to much compromise is why we are in the spot we are. Moderation and sticking to what a bill’s intentions are instead of ear marking it to death would/could find alot of savings in Washington. When your voted in to walk a line that others swayed from, you should walk that line.

    I heard Herman Cain say he wanted bills 3 pages long.. people laughed.. they laughed because it made sense and wanted to laugh off common sense over pork and fat they got away with for years.

    we all have opinions.. I don’t expect a fund for watching ants make hills attached to a bill presented as a fund for children to all have shoes.. if you know what I mean? Besides, to many stupid people will keep Old Incumbents in anyways and wonder what the problem is.. must be the new guys.. (slaps forehead)

    You are absolutely correct! The ideological purist thinks everything is simple. Every problem can be answered with a single concept like need/don’t need, or a mathematical formula that every economist will agree on. That kind of thinking leads to a belief that fresh blood will fix everything by providing those simple solutions. What they get instead is stubborn purists who can’t accomplish anything.

    There is a reason why employment ads demand years of experience, and executive positions demand many years of experience. How many conservatives would turn their small business over to someone who had no prior experience in business?

    You have lost any grip on reality. Obviously been watching too much Faux News, World Nut Daily and right-wing radio. Only adherents of these media would claim the fantasies you do.
