If Your Timing Is Right, You'll Do Well.

       Remember back a couple of years? What was the single most important topic of discussion on the minds of Conservatives? No, not foreign policy, although they were dissatisfied with Obama's policies. No, not even Obamacare, although it was very, very high on their talking point list. No, the single most important issue was the DEFICIT, followed closely by the DEBT.
       But nowadays you hear practically nothing on the subject. Why is that? Well, it's probably because that deficit that was killing any chance for America to survive, is now down to very low numbers for a deficit. And a low deficit could hurt the narrative of too big of a government and too much government spending. Now, to be sure, the debt is still growing, but the costs of that debt as an annual payment isn't so high that it's crippling us. For now. And if the economy continues to grow and jobs continue to increase, that debt will shrink.
       So how come the liberals aren't shouting for joy and pointing to that low deficit? That's what Al Kaman's article in the Washington Post talks about today. Everybody's so quiet about it, you'd think they're all disappointed in the results. But what are they all talking about now?
       If you thought that Benghazi was the hottest topic, you'd be wrong. Sue the President. That's the best subject of the hour and day and week. But why are they suing the President? Because he didn't enforce all the parts of the Obamacare law. Well for starters there is no Obamacare law. They really mean the Affordable Care Act.
       Boehner's beef with the President is that he didn't force parts of the law to become effective on time, because to do so would have caused the law to fail. That's the real problem conservatives have with the President and Obamacare. They wanted it to fail and when it didn't, they got mad as hell. So the obvious person to blame is Obama, and they're right. He was the one who saved it The question is whether or not that's something to sue over. Do you sue somebody because they were successful? Or should you? Was he within his rights? Maybe it's true that timing is everything.
