Krauthammer: If Obama's Low on Money He Should 'Call It a Tax' and Get Supreme Court to Uphold It
Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer took a humorous poke at Barack Obama and Chief Justice John Roberts Monday.
During a Special Report discussion about the President recently begging for donations during a conference call aboard Air Force One, Krauthammer said, "If he is running low on money, what he ought to do is to call it a tax and send the IRS after it to go and get it, which I’m sure his lawyers will be able to find a way to do it, and then go find a Supreme Court justice who’ll uphold it."
JOHN ROBERTS, SUBSTITUTE HOST: If the President doesn’t get that money to get the ads out prior to the convention, is he going to be in trouble? I mean, when you look at the fact that Mitt Romney raised $16 million more than the Obama campaign did back in May.
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: I think he would be in trouble if that happened, and I think that if he is running low on money, what he ought to do is to call it a tax and send the IRS after it to go and get it, which I’m sure his lawyers will be able to find a way to do it, and then go find a Supreme Court justice who’ll uphold it.
Look, this is their [unintelligible] punishment. He broke all the rules in 2008. He buried McCain in money, and now it’s going to happen to him.

The word is condign. It means "deserved, appropriate".
Obama already HAS the money, he's just playing the media

Keep in mind that Obama, through his Chicago syndicate, already HAS the money, close to a billion dollars, from laundering the stimulus money through all the failed green companies, as well as GM dealerships whom he granted ownership rights to from the auto bailout. The media, of course, is not going to report this tidbit, but in fact would cover up this fact even though they probably are in on most of those details.
The trick, of course, is to see how this money will surface, but since the media is owned by Obama, then it will take other sources to follow the money trail, probably through hard-to-trace Internet transfers.

Boy Baraka's campaign

Boy Baraka's campaign economic strategy mirrors his domestic economic strategy...............spend as much as possible on the most useless and worthless things possible, with the worst results possible, and then say that he needs more money, more power, and more time to make it right.
And the really sick thing about it is - there's a lot of people who will buy into his scam............after all, he IS now our 'President', if anyone can believe that!!!!
