DRAT! I thought for a moment the President had a plan...

I crave hearing about what this President is going to do to tackle the debt. You hear me, CRAVE IT! I want this President to lay out what he would do in the next 4 years so that we don’t eclipse the $20 Trillion dollar mark by the time he’d be out of office. But that is a horrible story, here is my set up. While I was going around the web, I happened upon an add that made my heart leap! Could it be true?!? An add that is called “Obama’s Deficit Plan”. Not only that, but the link actually takes you to BarrackObama.com, the official website of the President’s re-election campaign.

See an add for Barrack Obama’s Website here;

Which links you to www.barrackobama.com/our-vote , containing a beautiful banner of Obama, Michelle, and one of their daughters, and displaying the following text; The President’s Deficit Plan in his own words.

FULL DISCLOSER, the text is ripped right off the website, but you may notice some liberties with the image

WHAT THE 2012 ELECTION MEANS FOR WOMEN

Since taking office, President Obama has turned around an economy that was losing hundreds of thousands of jobs each month, ended the war in Iraq, signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act into law, and cut taxes for every working family.

So this November, the choice for women is clear: We can keep moving forward and build on the progress we've made—or we can go backward to more tax cuts for the wealthy, the same policies that led to massive job losses and punished the middle class, and an era when women didn't have control over our own health choices.

Will we re-elect the candidate who has our backs and is fighting for our families? Or will we turn back?

“REGARDLESS OF WHO WE ARE, WE SHARE THIS VISION: HARD WORK SHOULD PAY OFF, RESPONSIBILITY SHOULD BE REWARDED, AND EVERYONE IN THIS COUNTRY SHOULD GET A FAIR SHOT BUT PLAY BY THE SAME RULES.”—MICHELLE OBAMA

WHAT'S AT STAKE FOR WOMEN THIS NOVEMBER:

So this is the Obama BUDGET DEFICIT PLAN, let’s do quick breakdown of the key points;

Number of mentions of Budget: 0

Number of mentions of Deficit: 0

Number of mentions of Plan: 0

Number of mentions of Women: 4

I guess that’s it. The plan to get the country out of this crippling spiral of debt is to get more woman better and fairer paying jobs. This in itself isn’t a bad thing by any means. The sad part is if I proceed to say that this plan doesn’t address the debt problem I’ll probably be deemed a sexist by a loud minority of people. Some of those same people may even take offense to me, a middle aged white male from the Midwest, using the word ‘minority’ in the last sentence. There is a blip about tax policy in this statement, but Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke stated just this week to congress higher taxes could do more harm than good in these economic conditions.
