WATT HAPPENED?? THERE'S A FOXX IN THE HENHOUSE??

This week we learn that POTUS is tapping two black politicians from North Carolina to go run the machine in D.C.  One of them was Anthony Foxx, Mayor of Charlotte, who will be running the Federal Department of Transportation.  That could be amusing when you consider the nonsensical Trolley Car (streetcar) controversy in Charlotte.  One of those cute bauble projects that was rejected by City Council (I believe), but wouldn't die because the Mayor and the leftists think a Trolley Car is the answer to transportation issues in the "uptown" area of Charlotte.  Trolley Cars and bicycles...those are the new modes of transportation for "uptown" Charlotte, along with light rail, of course.  However, there seems to be some ongoing competing theory regarding Trolley Car vs. light rail and financing of one over the other.  I've seen one of those inner city Trolley Cars in Greenville, South Carolina, running around the streets mostly empty all day long.  And the ones in San Francisco that ferry tourists all over the city for the quaint experience factor.  Mayor Foxx was all in for the light rail, too, so you can bet the Federal Department of Transportation will be writing checks for these projects in Charlotte ASAP now that the POTUS' favored Mayor will be the arbiter of transportation dollars.  You can look forward to watching the "blue" Democrat cities suck up transportation money faster than a growing teenage boy can suck up a chocolate milkshake.  And, gee, I suppose this appointment has nothing to do with Mayor Foxx hosting the Democrat Convention last year in Charlotte.  Nah...nothing to see there.  Quid pro quo is just fiction, right?

Back in 2010 I posted a story on Congressman Mel Watt and his gerrymandered district.  You can read that here.  Now POTUS has named Mel Watt the new head of Fannie MAE and Freddie MAC

In that article I cited Mel Watt's campaign contributors:

Watt’s largest contributors included American Express (NYSE: AXP), Wachovia, Bank of America and the American Bankers Association. Altogether the financial industry donated over $217,109 to Watt, which was over 35 percent of the overall contributions he received.

Wachovia is now Wells Fargo, but the name change hasn't changed the political contribution schemes.   

Here  is a more recent run down on campaign contributions  for Mel Watt's political career:

Since he entered Congress in 1992, Watt has received $1.33 million in campaign contributions from the finance, real estate and insurance industries, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonprofit research group that tracks money in politics. 
That’s almost a quarter of the total $5.47 million in total contributions he’s received through his career.
Watt’s biggest donors were commercial banks, with the finance and securities industries following at number five, according to CRP. During the last election cycle, the political action committees of Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and Wells Fargo each gave Watt’s campaign $10,000. Bank of America and Goldman each gave an additional $5,000 to Watt’s leadership PAC.

 The fact that Mel Watt has been a Chairman of the Black Caucus in the House should tell you all you need to know, since that group is made up completely of black Socialists.  Can you say "Redistribution of wealth?" 

Where in the Constitution is there direction for the Federal government to be in the home financing industry?  Or the transportation industry?  These two picks of POTUS are par for the course, like-minded men who believe the Federal government should be in charge of all things.  The banks have been co-opted, willingly or not, into a public-private-partnership with the Federal government to do the government's bidding.  Banks are now forced into policy decisions based on the whims of big government politicians.  They do it ...or else.  That in itself is a tragedy and an affront to all Americans.  

(Note: I will also say that my Republican Congressman, Patrick McHenry, receives lots of banking money and also sits on the Finance Committee in the House of Representatives.  The campaign contribution game is for high rollers and when it comes to D.C. the stakes are high.)  

I could remark on the relief aspect of getting these two POTUS sycophants out of the Charlotte area, but I can't say it is any relief at all since I know Charlotte is stuck with the Blue Dems for the long haul.   Watt's district is gerrymandered for black democrats, and Charlotte, from all I can tell, is going down the Blue Democrat road like Detroit and Atlanta.  So sending these guys off to D.C. doesn't solve the big issue of concern which is out of control, unconstitutional, government spending.  

Every dictator has his collaborators.  These are just two of the newest names on the current POTUS list.  Watt.  Foxx.  Now you know a little more about them.

DNC SHOW IN CHARLOTTE - STARRING BARACK OBAMA AS THE INNOCENT BYSTANDER

It pains me greatly to have this macabre DNC theatre beginning this week in what used to be a Southern jewel of a city.  But it is what it is.   So let's see what this production is promoting so far.

The star of the show, the protagonist if you will, is a man who refuses to take responsibility for any detrimental result of his own policies.  He is a hero in his own mind.   He lives in a world where everyone around him tells him he is golden.  His greatest talent is tooting his own horn.  If someone were to tell him he is a lackluster ne'r-do-well, good for nothing, blowhard, what would he do?  How would he react?  If someone asked him to give a truthful accounting of the results of his actions, what would he say?  We know what he says.  He knows how to spin.  That is what he does.....spin and lie.  That is what serves as leadership in his mind.  And the media spins and lies right along with him. 

I will never believe he is the innocent bystander to the destruction of our nation, as he would have you believe.  He may be a narcissist, but he isn't completely stupid.  He knows what he is doing to the nation.  He can laugh off the critics even if they are correct.  Why?  Because this destruction is deliberate.  You don't get the joke?  The ideology he represents was meant to do exactly what has happened.  Taking America down.  Debt and unemployment, leviathan government, unelected bureaucratic rule.  These are all his intentions.  Can he say that out loud?  Of course not.  He only knows how to tell you how great he is and how great he will be...IF he only gets another 4 yrs. to complete his job.   

As you look at the line up of other "stars" showing up in Charlotte for the DNC, you will see a gamut of other ideologues who hate America.  Then there are the naive sycophants who think this lying President IS America.  Bill Clinton giving a keynote speech is like having Lenin show up to support Stalin.  (Just ignore the rigor mortis.)  Hip hip hooray for Marxism!!  Let's tell everyone what a great plan it is!!  And by the way, your mode of transportation to get to this play is light rail, tiny electric cars, or bicycle.....or you can get there on foot.  (Stars take planes and limos.)   

Cameo appearances by the likes of Sandra Fluke add luster to the ideas that everyone should pay for all others' sexual preferences, no matter how odd they are.  LGBT'ers will be highlighted for comic relief.  Jimmy Carter comes to lend an elderly crutch for all the failed policies of past communist presidents.  Really.  (We could add a tribute to Woodrow Wilson, FDR, and the rest of the Progressive Democrats here.)  What does Carter add?  Carter did his part to wreck both the economic strength (see Community Reinvestment Act)  and the military strength of the nation (see removing the Shah of Iran in order to prop up the Muslim Caliphate). Musical headliners like Jeff Bridges and James Taylor are showing up to sing for their masters.  Brad Pitt will show up, just to be seen.  It's all so very cliché and predictable. 

The show starts tomorrow.  Leave your mind at the door and just go with flow.  It's bound to be quite a fantasy trip!
