Obama is as Qualified to run USA as Stevie Wonder is to Drive the Indy 500

There is nothing exceptional about the United States. The Constitution of the United States of America is the problem because it forces people with different perspectives to sit down and try to negotiate. For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country.

Barack Obama, Cokie Roberts, and Michelle Obama each spoke these sentiments, respectively. I paraphrased them, but the words are accurate in describing their views on America, how liberals view it's greatest and most sacred document, and how they feel about this country.

Why does the American public vote for liberals? Well, here's a quote that may help explain: "How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think."   The same person who said these words, also said:  "I use emotion for the many and reserve reason for the few."  Was it Obama who said these words? No, but the philosophy seems to be key to his thinking. These were the words of Adolf Hitler, the hero of Islamists world-wide.  "Islam is a religion of peace.  We will never be at war with Islam," these were Obama's words. Is he out of touch or is he the least transparent president this country ever had?  He spent about $1.4 million in legal fees to stay opaque, in spite of what he said about being transparent.

The liberals count on people not thinking, but feeling; using emotion rather than rationality;  singing "Kumbayah" rather than "The National Anthem."  With the failure of Obama's administration, the failure to keep any of his promises, and one would think the liberals would ditch him like rats on a sinking ship, but they don't really care that he has no clue about what he's doing; or that he ran and hid at Camp David when the Dow plunged 512 points; or that he had no concrete plan.  They only care that he has good intentions--at least they "feel" he does, and that's all that matters.  Obama cares about people--except for those of us who actually make a decent salary. He wants us to share it with those who are out of work, people who need cell phones, and those who want to get free birth control from your insurance premiums.  He cares about illegal aliens and even calls them "undocumented immigrants," which is the same as calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist."  But the truth is, Obama cares about people's votes, not people as individuals.  And what would Michelle think if her husband didn't get elected?  Would she have not been proud of her country--ever? 

So now that the American Communist Party is endorsing Barack Obama he can be assured of at least another 70 thousand commie votes.  As it stands, he will be getting the socialist vote, the gay vote (ever notice that nothing is known about his sex life prior to Michelle?), and the mindless "his heart is in the right place" vote--even though his heart is made from Ben and Jerry's "Chunky Monkey" (oh damn, now I'm going to be accused of being racist by  liberals when all I should be accused of is trying in vain to be funny).  We can only hope that people on the left will realize that our country, while it has flaws, is the best of all the flawed nations in the world, and they will know that voting for Obama is voting for a person who doesn't see America as anything exceptional; anything better than any other country.  That voting for him is a vote for a person who refuses to identify our enemies, and support our friends.  Voting for him is voting for the only American president who bowed to kings, and who is an embarrassment to the office of President of the United States of America.

Talking Points




"Bloodbath on Wall Street". "The Tea Party is just a bunch of terrorists, holding the nation hostage, with a gun to their heads".  "Acting like grown ups". "Eat your peas". "Hobbits."  Here's one from Moron Dowd:
New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd on Wednesday continued to ramp up the newspaper’s vitriolic attacks against Tea Party conservatives, bizarrely describing them as “cannibals” “zombies” and “vampires.”

These are the talking points being used by the mouth-breathing left who need to create scary images of the right because their side cares less about facts and more about Kumbayah, hand-holding, and intentions. The left create social welfare programs that are ineffective, but sound good, Head Start programs that don't improve anything except, perhaps on paper, and policies that on the surface seem all cuddly and warm, but when you actually think about it, are totally unfair and yes, socialist, like the Dream Act. How fair is it to be an American citizen, living in a state and having to pay out of state tuition to a college when an illegal alien is allowed to go to this college from out of state and pay the tuition rate of a state resident? What part of 'illegal' do Democrats not understand? Why are illegal aliens even allowed to stay here illegally, collect benefits that we taxpayers shell out, and take jobs from those of us who live here 'legally'? It only makes sense if you agree with a socialist state--that is, if you agree with Obama.

It doesn't matter if leftist policies fail, jobs decline, entitlement programs morph into black holes that cannot suck enough--like the mental health programs, for example, with their bureaucratic balderdash statistics, pretending to be making "progress" in the lives of people that they are designed to "help." What matters is that their intentions were good.  Of course, if you look at what motivates the left to create these programs, it isn't really good intentions, the real purpose is to serve as Democratic vote magnets. And while serving this purpose, the left can smugly assert that they are the morally superior because they really "care" about their fellow human beings, while the Tea Party and the right, are terrorists who are holding this nation hostage. 

They dilute the power of words. They are no different from those back in the days of Bush (pick either one) when they used the H Bomb to spread fear. Everyone who believed in the free market was a Hitler and some of these leftists actually believed in some of what they said. Even back then, the media was on the left. Even back before this time, the New York Times was defending Soviet spies like Alger Hiss and the Rosenbergs, but today, the media is so far over to the left, it's hard to tell them from Obama's administration. 

The one thing the left hates to be called is hypocritical. They have a hissy-fit if you say that they are hypocritical because they need to say that to you first, and you beat them to it. Obama and his 50th birthday was a fund-raising event--everything with him is a fund-raising event--when he takes a dump, he probably sells it as magical fertilizer and uses the proceeds for his 2012 campaign. He is more concerned with winning in 2012, the country can go to hell in a hand basket while he's campaigning and using your tax money to fund it. "But he's the President of the United States of America," Jay Carney says in his defense. If Obama had his way, he'd be President of the United Socialist States of America.

If you ask yourself the question, what scares the people on the Hill about the Tea Party movement, you might find the answer in their mission statement:
·         "The impetus for the Tea Party movement is excessive government spending and taxation. Our mission is to attract, educate, organize, and mobilize our fellow citizens to secure public policy consistent with our three core values of Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets".    The idea that those who are paying for government would actually want their money to be used effectively and not haphazardly, and that the law of the land, as written in the US Constitution, should actually be taken as the letter of the law and thus be taken seriously, and that government should not take over all aspects of our lives and should be limited, as Jefferson suggested, scares the empty suits in Washington. They might be held accountable for their spending--like the Pelosi Air Force jet parties that cost us $2.4 million,, or Holder's failure to prosecute members of CAIR, a Muslim Brotherhood organization fronting as a civil rights organization, or Republicans in name only (RINOs) who are elected to represent our values but are so entrenched in the Washington political machine that they vote like Democrats.  These clowns are afraid of the Tea Party because like any employee who screws up, they might find themselves asking the question: "Would you like fries with that order?"

So don't let the liberal bs talking points throw you off your own points, which, if you're a conservative, make more sense than their nonsense. The Constitution is not, as Obama said, a flawed document. The fact that our founding fathers had the foresight to allow for its amending proves that. The democratic process is not merely a tedious necessity--it's put there to keep potential tyrants like Obama in line. And unlike Michelle Obama, her husband's election was not the first time in my life that I was proud of my country--I have always been proud of my country and once we get rid of Barack Hussein Obama and his "transparent lies," I will know that all is well in Mudville--mighty Obama has struck out.

NYSE is not NICE

The NYSE closed down at -512.76 and job growth is as anemic as a vampire victim. Obama has no growth plan and even CNN is pointing this out, which is really amazing since they have done everything but shined his shoes since he took office. Well, okay, that would be MSNBC, but CNN does go to the extent of generally overlooking his lack of leadership (which more and more people are referring to as "leading from behind"), and they seem perturbed that he is not being a real leader. The question is, does Obama have a grand plan--let's call it a political jihad--in which he wants the economy to fail in order to push forth his socialist agenda? It certainly is possible.

For political socialism to take root, the economy has to fail, particularly the large corporate structure so that the government can step in (a la GM and Wall Street), and bail them out; and in the case of GM, to take them over. Have you noticed, however, that whenever big government tries to play at business management, they invariably fail? This is due to the lack of incentives created by competition between like companies. It's really quite simple but the American public always gets amnesia when it comes to the outcome of socialist or communist regimes. 

So if the grand jihad is to put the economy in the dumper, Obama is laughing behind our backs. Kind of like he must have laughed when he used non-union workers to handle his fund-raising birthday party. My theory is that he doesn't really have a birthday--he is not human but a creation of a Bilderberg-like secret society, probably religious in nature, probably not the least bit similar to western culture.

High Drama in Politics

 The O Ship is taking on water; the crew is thinking of jumping ship. Bernie Sanders (Ind. VT) thinks the GOP has won large in the budget talks and 7 Senate Democrats voted against the debt bill to support this view. Wolf "I need to take a breath" Blitzer is even questioning whether or not Obama will be reelected, but Sanders thinks there's a possibility. Sanders worries that jobs will be lost, kids will be left out of Project Head Start (a program that has been as effective as a divining rod finding water in an Arabian desert), and the country will be going down the tubes, but CNN continues to advocate for Obama and his campaign as a good leftist media should.


Gabrielle Giffords showed up last night on the Senate floor, and while some may think the timing of her return is nothing more than theater, I'd rather like to think of it as high drama--after all, the Democrats are counting on her to bring in more sympathy votes for the O Team in 2012, and I doubt they'll let her disappoint them.  Remember when that lunatic Loughner killed all those people and seriously wounded her, the liberals immediately jumped on the bandwagon to denounce gun rights, and said the shooter had to be conservative pro-gun nut job. Well, it turned out that he was known as a liberal to those who know him, and pretty much non-political. But when Giffords arrived, her colleagues cried, sniffled, had runny noses, and for some, it "literally took their breath away," according to CNN. I certainly hope that those poor souls whose breaths were "literally taken away" have recovered from lack of oxygen .  .  .  literally.

Dr. Sanjay Gupta feels Giffords is doing well, but she still has a lot of recovery time ahead of her. Blitzer asked Gupta her about her speaking ability since the injury, and he believes that it should be okay. But the question I would have asked would've been about whether her judgment might have been affected from the shooting. If so, then it is incumbent upon her to step down--yet we all know that stepping down will never happen before the 2012 election because Obama needs her; the Democrats need her because they need to play on voter's feelings, rather than their intellect.  

Comments are welcome.

From POTUS to KOTU in One Term

Budget? What's a budget?
So what's Obama's real plan? One thing for sure, It isn't about the debt ceiling, the financial crisis, or jobs.  No, it's about the 2012 campaign and what he plans to do once reelected. Perhaps he'll change his title from POTUS to KOTU (President of the United States to King Of The Universe). Maybe he will have our entire nuclear arsenal dismantled, or at least lower defense spending to the point that the military will only be able to purchase slingshots. Who knows, maybe we can get Iran to sing "Kumbayah" and hold hands with us. What we do know is that Obama wants to spend $1 billion on his campaign, and with the money crisis in this country, I'd say that is obscene.  


Obama, as you know, has called for tax increases on the wealthiest Americans--the corporate jet-setters and families who make at least $250 thousand per year.  But if you look at his 2010 tax returns, you will see that he forgot to include himself in the grand plan.  Obama has avoided paying his "fair share" of taxes that he would have "the rich" pay. Socialists always want to spend other people's money, never theirs.  If you want to read an interesting article from American Thinker, you can read it  here
The article spells out just how hypocritical Obama is--it's the old "do as I say,  not as I do" dance.



  How do we balance the budget and avoid default? I'm not an economist but it seems that the way the media (CNN in particular) is looking at government spending is an "all or none" model. They're talking about cutting out entire programs, but why not cut down how much we spend in each program rather than cutting out the programs completely? If we spend $7 billion in entitlement programs, why not cut the amount to say, $5 billion, and do the same with other programs. Military spending is another issue.  While Obama quietly snuck us out of Iraq, he got us into Libya's war (without congressional approval, by the way), so to cut defense spending would be suicidal. 


One thing for certain is that Obama is an idealistic amateur who has convinced young voters that he is the answer to the future.  But "Change you can believe in" turns out to be the $1.53 in your pocket at the end of the week. The rest of his promises you already know are make-believe socialist folly. Obama is losing his following--people who thought he would be America's hope now realize they've been duped by a sharp talking charleton who says what he knows you want to hear, but lies without blinking an eye. He does speak well, knows a lot of big words, invented the sentence opener "Look . . ." and actually speaks to your heart. But it doesn't get you a job nor protect your 401K and bank account. These are words spoken by an empty suit who does everything he can to protect his money while reaching into your back pocket to steal yours.


Go, my rant has ended.

Da Debt

Harry Reid is blaming the Republicans for not solving the debt problem.  "I haven't heard anything from the Republican leaders. .  .  we have a proposal we know the president will sign . . . " but what are the Democrats bringing to the table? Nobody is really sure because they aren't saying.  Next Reid mentioned the 2 wars that "this administration didn't start; [I] don't want to go into that (so mentioning it is not 'going into that' according to Reid) and then said the American people believe there should be shared sacrifice. What is shared sacrifice? Tax increases? One less on-demand abortion for a liberal's teenage daughter? Socialism? Marxism?  Reid also claimed the president has been involved in the debt crisis, but let's be serious, the only way Obama could have been involved was by texting his input or posting it on Facebook. The only time he actually was involved (speech making doesn't count) is when he offered a budget plan that was so out in left field, he didn't even get one 'yes' vote.  Personally, I feel sorry for Obama because I'm sure this situation is ruining his golf weekends and effecting his handicap, (even though he hasn't made an appearance, but is keeping up appearances by not playing golf).  So the House rejected the Senate debt plan with the vote 173 yes, 246 no, and CNN is having an Ireport where viewers can make videos where they beg Congress to get the deal done. I have yet to see one conservative making a video--they just might tell the Republican party to stay strong and don't give in. CNN doesn't want to go there.

It was just announced that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are on their way to the White House to speak with Hussein Obama. It makes me wonder how they're planning on getting there. Pelosi is used to signing out US Air Force jets for herself and her friends to get around, and I suspect Reid may balance that by taking a bicycle. Well, it doesn't really balance it, but it looks good for the liberals and the mainstream media isn't going to mention Pelosi's jet-setting. They will, of course, mention the bike and how Harry Reid is helping the environment, won't they? Of course I'm kidding about the bike, but I'm totally serious about the USAF jets, and wrote it about it in a previous blog. Pelosi has literally cost taxpayers millions for jet fuel, booze and personnel, but she, like Obama, wants to tax corporate jet owners. What hypocrisy.

Who liberals love
Now John Boehner will be speaking about the vote. He feels the only thing standing in the way is Obama and Senator Reid.  Senator Mitch McConnel also spoke about the charade of the Reid bill not passing in the House. Boehner said that it's time for the president to tell us what he's for, and it's time for him to act.  I'm surprised Senator McConnel doesn't know that Obama is for socialism and sharing other people's money.  He's also for nuclear disarmament of the world, and when he is finally elected King of the World, he will finally get his wish.


So, the Republicans say they were in agreement with the Democrats but the Dems walked away, and the Democrats denied this assertion, instead claiming the Republicans are refusing to compromise. Why aren't these talks made public? Why can't we hear this process for ourselves? This is, after all, our money, our country, and our right to know what's going on. Instead the information we're hearing sounds more like a campaign response than a concerted effort to keep our nation solvent.


So we are hours away from the deadline and it's possible for the first time in American history, our country will default on its debts. Imagine the elderly who have been forced to put a substantial portion of their paychecks into Social Security, and a government that took their money to pay for things other than what the money was intended for--then ask yourself just who should be the target of their anger.

Shiela Jackson Lee: Deep Thoughts by a Shallow Dem

Peter King (R-NY) is the Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security and has been holding hearings about radical Islam and terrorism in the USA. Some of the finest minds have given testimony on this topic, providing us with information about the dangers radical Islam can incur, but along with their take on the problems came a response from one of the most blathering idiots ever elected to public office--I refer to Shiela Jackson Lee (D-Tx).  The input from Rep. Lee is proof positive that a Yale education and an appointment as judge in no way guarantees the holder of such a background is necessarily a person with a fully functioning brain. In fact, one might go so far as to say that Ms. Lee is an idiot, but saying so would probably get you labelled a racist because that is the only response she and most liberals know how to use in retaliation to the truth. 

At the committee hearings, Peter King gave her five minutes floor time, which she used to request that right wing extremist groups be investigated along with the alleged 9/11 phone hacking of terror victims, an issue that seems to be coming from left field and having nothing to do with the issues at hand, but that's just my opinion. You see, prior to Jackson Lee opening her mouth and getting her silver tongue in gear, the committee was voicing real concerns about al-Shabaab, an al-Qaeda affiliate and how it is recruiting young American Somalis for jihad. These Islamic men are attending terrorist camps and at least 40 are known to have done so and died as a result of suicide bombings. But Jackson Lee was undaunted in her quest for the irrelevant and went on about Rupert Murdoch and those right wing extremists. Several weeks ago, she spoke about extreme Christian groups when the committee met to discuss Islamic conversions in the prison system.  This is when she threw a curve ball to the committee by mentioning the crazy Christian right who are such a danger to the country and are recruiting in the prisons for Jesus. And yes, Shiela Jackson Lee is also the same person who felt that hurricane names are "too white" and she would like them to have more "black sounding names." 

Recently, at a town hall meeting to discuss Obamacare, Jackson Lee was being asked a question by a cancer survivor. See her response on this video.  One can say that it doesn't get ruder than that. Of course when she spoke with Greta Sustern, she was even ruder when Greta tried to ask a question, so perhaps it does get ruder than that after all.   

Mark Levin also spoke about Jackson Lee and minces no words when he describes how she talks about how her constituents are ill informed.  She may be right since these are the people who voted for her, but I suspect they didn't know who she was, much the same way we didn't really know Obama--unfortunately, we still don't know Obama in spite of his incredible transparency--why is that, I wonder. 


Frick and Frack
I hope Shiela Jackson Lee does nothing to upset the findings or the work of the House Committee on Homeland Security. This issue is absolutely too important to pretend that it's equivalent to right wing extremism. She sees the killing of late-term abortion clinic doctors the same as the killing of 3000 people on that sunny day back in 2001. Since the 1970's there have been 8 murders of late-term abortion clinic doctors--a horrible thing in and of itself, but compare that to the 17 thousand people who have died at the hands of Islamic terrorists (and I refer to acts of sheer terrorism, not from formal Islamic wars, which are also too frequent to dismiss). Oh, and come to think of it, compare it to the 59 million babies who were murdered in abortion on demand clinics.  That's 8 doctors versus 59 million babies. Why don't liberals see something wrong with this?

Your comments are always welcome.

Ethically Speaking

It seems as if ethics is a dying value.  My wife works in retail sales, a job she took when we moved to our new home, and the one thing she has learned is that many people are not ethical.  Her coworkers would steal her customers when her back was turned, or say she wasn't at work, when, in fact she was at the back of the store.

The Wikipedia definition is: "Ethics, also known as moral philosophy, is a branch of philosophy that addresses questions about morality--that is, concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong, virtue and vice, justice, etc."


While an obvious lack of ethics can be seen at my wife's place of business (by the way, she is very ethical and this may account for why she is one of the top salespeople in the entire area), it is also a problem in government; particularly in big government.  Take for example the case of "Fast and Furious" whereby agencies of the US government allowed rifles to be purchased by 'straw purchasers' and then sold to Mexican drug cartels.  These AK 47-variants were eventually lost in tracking.  Is it ethical to use American taxpayer dollars to secretly fund an illegal program, and only get "outed" when someone died from one of the "Fast and Furious" guns?  If you don't know the answer to that question, I know a retail store that would hire you on the spot.


Ethical debate
So we have the head of the Department of Justice (DOJ), Eric Holder, who either lied about being in the loop of the "Fast and Furious" debacle whereas four people just below him were in on it, or is he so incompetent that he isn't even capable of running the DOJ and being included in the "loop"? And we have a president who claims to know nothing about this illegal undertaking and we'll likely never be privy to the truth in that case. But we do know for a fact that our POTUS is a liar because he has been caught in numerous lies since taking office.

Just for starters, he lied about his mother's healthcare, or lack of it actually, when she was dying of cancer in her early fifties.  Obama claimed she died as a result of the lacking of medical funding, when, in fact, her healthcare provider paid for everything but the monthly deductible, which came to about $200.  Then he lied when claiming his healthcare bill would not increase the deficit one dime--wait, that isn't a lie--it increased the deficit somewhat more than a dime--can you say billions?


About his father, he claimed he was a goat-herder, when it turns out his father was clearly a man of priviledge.  And while we're on the topic of Obama's Muslim father, Obama claimed that he, himself, had never prayed in a mosque--this had to later be retracted by his campaign people.


The real Obama
Circumventing the Constitution with the claim that we aren't at war with Libya because there are no "boots on the ground" and therefore, he didn't need congressional approval for the non-war in Libya, is another lie.  First of all, there were CIA spotters on the ground to assist the aircraft in their missions.  But even more blatantly, to say our action in a country is not a hostile act, and thus does not qualify as a war, begs the question: and if we simply dropped a nuclear weapon on Libya with no boots on the ground, would that still not be considered a hostile action? 


We may all remember how Obama said that he wouldn't rest until the BP oil spill was stopped and plugged.  If you consider playing golf, entertaining the Duke Blue Devils after winning the NCAA Championship, greeting the US World Cup Soccer team and getting in some photo ops with Joe Biden, Bill "I did not have sex with that woman, Miss Lowenski" Clinton spending Memorial Day weekend in Chicago, and taking a weekend off at Mount Desert Island, not resting, then he was true to his word.


Obama is an amateur president. He was an amateur Senator before being whisked into the job as president. He was a community organizer--that's a dude who organizes anti-something-or-other protests for more money from those that have it to those that don't. This is Obama. Holder is his protege along with Tim Geithner, who didn't pay his taxes. Along with his other cronies and phonies. Make him a one-term wonder (as in "I wonder why anyone voted for that loser").


Peace out.
