Gut Check Time

Hey Barry:

Well, times are tough.

It was a hard time negotiating and we got what we could.

You saved the country from a real crisis.

But, now y'all gotta do some more.

It aint enough to just get through.

You sellin us to the Big Money when you do that. Then we is cooked big time.

Here's how to get out of the trap:

Find something Big Money really wants, then repeat this phrase:

"I will veto any spending bill that does not raise tax revenue by four times the amount spent."

"I will veto any spending bill that does not raise tax revenue by four times the amount spent."

"I will veto any spending bill that does not raise tax revenue by four times the amount spent."

"I will veto any spending bill that does not raise tax revenue by four times the amount spent."

"I will veto any spending bill that does not raise tax revenue by four times the amount spent."


And, by the way, you gotta veto about three laws because they won't believe you.

You can't negotiate with hostage takers, you gotta terminate their game. Sometimes you'll lose a hostage. Caint be helped.

It's like they say - 'You can't make an omlet without breaking a few eggs.'

So Barry, break some eggs. It's time.

It's like Harry Truman said: 'If you want a friend in Washington, buy a dog.'

Reps aint gonna cooperate, you gotta force them to do the right thing. The only way to do that is to make any other action they can take more painful to them than doing the right thing for the country. Think about it, y'all gotta make every other course of action more painful to them than what you want them to do.

They have demonstrated that they will not do the right thing for the country. They have not and they will not, unless you, Barry Obama, force them to do it.

We with you, be tough.

Your pal,
