Ron 48 -- you Obama.

And why he.

None of this is necessary.

As the sequestration deadline passed guess who the president is playing.

It's happening because choice that Republicans in congress.

Have made an Arizona congressman -- On -- the GOP won't but this ladies.

-- and and welcome to Huckabee from the Fox News.

-- in New York City.

OK remember Y two K the Mayan calendar the breakup of The Beatles.

Okay add another into the world scare that's going to be remembered for being more tepid didn't terror.

President and prophet Barack Obama.

Delivered his end of the world sermons.

With a fervor of a street preacher in the intellectual honesty of a medicine -- doctors selling magic elixir.

But this time America tuned him out because there's just so many teleprompter tirades that people can take.

Now most working people lost 2% of their income on January 1 thanks to his broken promise that.

No one in the middle class would pay another dime in tax.

Gasoline prices are double what they were when this president took office and he seems content since it's not his credit card that fuels Air Force One.

-- the mile long parade of suvs.

In his motorcade.

He seems to prefer that we buy oil from mega wealthy Middle Eastern princes and pump our own and spread some of that wealth around to American -- -- The ridiculous ranting that he can't find 2.4 percent.

Out of a four trillion dollar federal budget bloated with bacon.

That's laughable.

We're talking about 83 billion.

Oh yeah that's a lot of money but it's equal to what big banks -- -- subsidies and bailouts from the federal treasury every year.

Almost identical to the amount that we borrow every single month which -- to -- -- -- -- doubled under this president.

Tell me tell you something I could find more painless cuts accidentally.

And he claims he can find even surrounded of the finest minds from the finest Ivy League schools in the land.

They -- nice can't be that they'll.

As a governor tried to cut 10% or more from a budget.

And we kept schools open police and firemen still answered calls and somehow amazingly.

Good southern mother still made cat had biscuits and red eye gravy.

The fish would still buy don't crank baits and churches still had dinner on the grounds and all they -- -- on -- Sundays.

Now if the president wants to find 83 billion stop the sweet deals to the big banks.

Sequestration.

Solved.

Or just don't borrow the 83 billion this month crisis averted.

And if you seriously are so bad at math.

That you can't squeeze a couple of pennies out of a dollar to balance the budget.

And -- truly ready to throw up your hands in here.

Is a sincere honest and even bipartisan solution.

A point six former governors three Democrats three Republicans.

Guys who are no longer in office -- that the state or federal level.

Give them two hours and watch and -- have this figured out before they even get to the fried pies for dessert.

I personally volunteer for the assignment but what Mr.

President I know you'd never let me near the budget or the fried -- Fact is I served with governors who could do this.

I promise you that each of these guys.

Has had to trim more than two and a half percent from a budget before.

Former democratic governors like -- reticent of Tennessee Roy Romer of Colorado.

Bill Richardson of New Mexico.

Bob Wise West Virginia -- -- of Delaware Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania Howard Dean of Vermont just to name a few but not currently in office.

And among Republicans take Michael -- -- you -- John Engler of Michigan Tommy Thompson of Wisconsin Frank Keating of Oklahoma Haley Barbour from Mississippi.

Dirk Kempthorne of Idaho are our pick your own.

It's not that hard.

If you can't bring yourself to eliminate a single thing from the federal feast.

-- at least be noble and let others do it turn off the teleprompter.

Pick up a telephone.

And call some of these guys.

For the sake of the country.

Okay.
