Grover Norquist: Obama ‘May Decide To Go Blow Up Small Countries’ Out Of Boredom

Anti-tax activist Grover Norquist believes Republicans will hold President Obama on such a tight fiscal leash that he will have no choice but to launch unnecessary wars against small countries in order to fulfill his desire to spend more money.

Appearing on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal this morning, the Americans for Tax Reform founder made the Wag the Dog-esque prediction while discussing how the GOP will make sure Obama is fiscally restrained during his final four years as president.

“We, the Republicans in the House and Senate, will make [Obama] actually make those spending restraints,” Norquist said of the sort of cuts of which he believes Obama’s support is only nominal.

“Obama will be on a very short leash, fiscally speaking, over the next four years. He’s not gonna have any fun at all,” Norquist continued. “He may decide to go blow up small countries he can’t pronounce because it won’t be any fun to be here because he won’t be able to spend the kind of cash he was hoping to.”
