Hide your walkers and wheelchairs - Obama wants them back!
Caught a little bit of the Washington Correspondents dinner where Obama said “You all voted for me.” There is no doubt about that. A comic (or something) entertaining the Democrats said she hoped Rush Limbaugh’s kidneys would fail. Hers already has, and the waste is coming out of her mouth. Obama couldn’t resist comparing himself to God, saying how on the 73rd day of his next hundred days he would rest. The crowd there sure wouldn’t argue with him on that. Of course he would bow for a Muslim leader of Saudi Arabia but wouldn’t declare a day of prayer in which he would participate – makes you wonder if he was, instead, using a prayer rug in solitude to a different God. I would hazzard to say he would wish more good for the Muslim countries. We know how he feels about the one of which he is President and making every effort to destroy Her.
Where was the Manger placed in which he was born? Was it possibly Kenya? We will never know.
The price of oil and gas is rising to meet the needs for funds for speculators. It has to be that, as there is still a surplus of both. Of course it could be for the needs of Iran, Russia, and Venezuela to use for their military designs, as they sure won’t use this to feed or care for their citizens. What I wonder is if those three countries even send the speculators a note of thanks. They could at least send them signed, framed photographs.
Obama means to re-make healthcare. Unfortunately what he wants to do is take from the seniors, now retired, who have EARNED their healthcare and give healthcare to millions of illegal aliens who take from this country welfare, education, healthcare, and anything they need and charge it to those who have earned their way and had no intentions of having their country underwrite Mexico and its citizens. In fact, in Obama’s mind those 12 million illegals will become Democratic voters, so we must be nice to them and the old citizens who helped this country succeed are dying out so why bother with them?
The disease destroying this country from within is the 60s malcontents, druggies, and terrorists now teaching in our schools, colleges, and universities and passing on their beliefs to the young and impressionable. An example of this is the teacher in California teaching Geography, going off the subject to try to help destroy a religion that he doesn’t believe in and making false statements about a section of the country that he wishes to put down to satisfy his own twisted desire to make his life something of value – will never happen.
Friends of Obama, domestic terrorists – Aires and his wife are now teaching as are many of the 60s generation of idiots and ne’erdowells, who are now destroying the country that others built for them with Obama’s participation.
This week Obama is concentrating on healthcare. A simple way to cut costs would be not servicing, at our expense, the 12 million aliens. Because that would take away prospective liberal-based voters for the Democratic party, that path cannot be taken, so he must figure out a way to deprive some American citizens of their care to make up for it. Seniors are a good target. He may think that his abortion program will suffice and eliminate enough lives to take care of the problem. Obama and Kathleen Sebelius, a match made in hell, are ready to kill.
Now let’s talk about the most crooked corporation in the United States, in league with the Democrats and Obama – that corporation is General Electric. They are expecting large rewards from the use of their tv stations NBC and MSNBC to further the Democrats’ programs and incentives. The program of windmills – GE is expecting billions from building windmill turbines – a program already tried and abandoned by some European countries. I suppose they would probably be getting billions from nuclear energy, but at least that would be a program well established as continuing to be a source of clean energy made cheaply with the use of uranium. There was a time when GE was considered a symbol of America, building useful and long lasting products, building everything from toasters, coffee makers, jet engines, and the list goes on. That corporation was considered to be superior and a ctidel of integrity. At that time, there was a program called GE Theater hosted by Ronald Reagan. Unfortunately, since they became political their integrity is now questioned. Many kitchens had GE products at that time, but far fewer now. In fact, I would not buy a GE product and there are many like me. As far as I know, Jack Welch was not political as Immelt is.
GE is not the only corporation that has disappointed me. I have seen the deterioration of the news channel I watch. Their analysts and Democratic talking-heads out-number any that could be considered as Conservatives by 3-1. When Geraldo and Sheppard Smith come on I change the channel. Fox shows Obama about 50 times every day. I just change the channel or mute it. I used to watch Britt Hume’s show all the time, but since he left it has become a forum for Juan Williams and Mara Liasson to push the Obama program and defend him from any disparaging remark by others. The same applies to other Fox programs where the Conservatives giving their talking points are a little too courteous and allow the liberals to dominate the issues. Why can’t they be a little more aggressive as the liberals are?
An instance of reporting that was questionable was Neil Cavuto, when a friend of his, Austin Goolsbee, was being questioned and accused of being involved in lies with the Obama administration and Neil jumped on the guy pointing this out. In other words, his friend was inviolate no matter what. I like the way, in Washington speak, there is no lying – it’s only “they were mis-quoted” or “it was someone else, not them” or “It was a matter of confusion, but no way was it a lie.” Broken promises are the same as lies to me, unless there was no way it could possibly be avoided. There was a time when Fox could be turned to for reliable news. I am afraid those days are over. It’s still better than NBC, MSNBC, CNN, PBS, and NPS, but not by much!
Who is Obama’s Rasputin? Whoever it is, I am sure he controls the teleprompter. Who is Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd’s Edgar – Obama being McCarthy and Holder being Snerd, who is the maestro of this show? Could it be Rahm Emanuel or George Soros? The union is waiting in the wings to come on the stage for the grand finale when they take over the auto companies to give them the death knell. And with card check they hope to be able to kill every company in the United States – what a travesty – wherever they go they destroy. If Obama has his way, gets the card check and carbon tax through, he will bring about what he wants in the destruction of America. Could he be an undercover Islamist? Let’s hope he doesn’t get his way.
There is no integrity in the Congress and therefore no effort will be made to stop him. There is no character, honesty, or integrity in either party and they all need replacing. From Obama, his cabinet appointees, Senate and House, they all swear to preserve and protect the Constitution from enemies within and without, and Holder considering helping a rogue Spanish judge hold sway over American citizens is about as low as any member has ever gotten since Benedict Arnold. I think Obama and the UAW should be prosecuted for crimes against the State. How ANYONE who is a citizen of the greatest country in the world can help to destroy her with greed and lust for power is sad to comprehend for patriots.
The mainstream media did not take any vow to protect and defend, and as you can see they really have no concern for their country. At one time the Fourth Estate could be counted on to tell the truth and stand by their country. This no longer applies and I can hardly wait to see all the liberal rags disappear and these supposed journalists go under with them. The cable news networks such as CNN and MSNBC are also facing financial problems, and when they disappear it will be another matter to rejoice in. I am still waiting for some supposed journalists to ask Obama a hard question – not gonna happen – instead, you ask question like those that are posed by a New York Times representative and approved by Obama before being asked at the news conference! For anyone who thinks that questions asked of Obama are free ranging and not approved prior to the press conference, you would also believe there is a Santa Clause, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, etc.
Another thing very noticeable is the late show comics on television. They make no jokes about Obama. Both Leno and Letterman STILL make jokes about Bush in a cruel manner and you can feel the hate in their delivery. The fact is that Obama generates fear, wants to do away with free speech, and now we know that his administration threatens companies and pressures them to accept terms that are unfair to their members, which consists of pensioners, state funds, and other investors – this for the benefit of the UAW, Obama, and the Democrats who want card check so unions can spread like a horrible virus throughout the country and continue their destructive tendencies – spare us please!
Another thing that the Obama administration has done to mystify and cause concern to Americans is the low flying airplane over Manhattan that cost $328,000 and yet that video cannot be shown to the American people – why not? We paid for it! The question remains also – for what purpose was this done? I doubt it was done to terrify New Yorkers, but it certainly did. Another thing that seems so bazaar is that Obama is supposedly on a campaign to find tax-cheats. There is no doubt he is on a campaign and has been campaigning since being elected. That has not stopped. He has also had the continuing help of the mainstream media. If he wants to find tax-cheats, he only has to turn to his cabinet. It seems to be a prerequisite to placing someone in his cabinet. They had to be a tax-cheat and since they were to be Democrats it was no problem to find people to fit that criteria.
Is there any question as to why Obama picked Joe Biden as his Vice President? He recognized a kindred spirit, fellow traveler, liar and hypocrite. When voluble Joe said it was patriotic to pay taxes, that was apparently a signal to Obama that he should appoint an unpatriotic cabinet. They all had to pay back-taxes.
Chicago politics hold full sway in Washington. Threats are freely made and they DO work. It’s a sad day for the country when government is enforced by threats and scare tactics. The next step will apparently be government by decree. Boss Daley must be resting well in his grave knowing that Chicago politics are alive and well in Washington DC. Our only hope as a country is for the voice of the demonstrators of April 15th to grow louder with more voices raised in protest as time goes by. The Democrats and the Obama administration were really upset and so was the Obama mainstream media by these actions taken by the REGULAR people. This country has grown and prospered with the efforts of REGULAR people. God bless ‘em.
One thing I should mention also is the fact that oil and gas prices are still rising and the over-supply still exists. Speculation and corruption runs rampant. Why doesn’t Obama threaten these speculators? Could it be because he wants the price of gas to go up so REGULAR people will not be able to use as much of it and this will please the environmentalist wing of his party?
The day of prayer will be a PRIVATE day for Obama. Do you suppose there will be a prayer rug facing east?
Where is the outrage for the threats made by an administration against private industry? In other words – Obama using his power as a dictator would. Obama is doing everything possible to divide this country, from the memos to the pictures of interrogation of prisoners. When will he realize that America is not made up of ACLU members and union goons? However, it could be that he wants to divide and conquer.
Don't trust the information you get from Wikipedia!
I see where Wikipedia has assigned two people to check on any Wikipedia entries that might be of less than glowing terms about Obama and remove them accordingly – free speech taken away – shades of Missouri tactics. Could these two be classified as gestapo agents as in the Third Reich? The continuation of these types of things is, as you can readily see by how all the comics, comedians, and late night hosts who used to lambaste Bush and Cheney daily, have not touched Obama or that joke of a Vice President, Joe Biden.
Warren Buffet and Jack Welch criticizing Obama’s policies, however, they rushed to say they loved him. If you notice, anyone who blames Obama for ANYTHING gets trashed immediately – case in point Rush Limbaugh, Rick Santelli, Jim Cramer, Larry Kudlow, and more to follow.
Anyone who has the guts to say anything negative about The Great One will suffer the same fate. Do you suppose Obama’s people will have the temerity or chutzpah to try to trash Warren Buffet, Jack Welch, or Barton Biggs? Don’t think so.
When Obama comes on tv, I mute the sound and watch him talk. He seems, to me, to be a character from a Punch and Judy show. Some of you can remember JFK’s inauguration address when he said “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” I guess you must have seen Obama only believes in the first part, and the gimme people in the country said “AMEN!” With Obama’s arrogance, I doubt if he will listen to Buffet, Welch, and Biggs – probably the only one he would listen to would be George Soros, who placed his money on Obama and the Democrats.
I can only affect the Senators in my state with my vote. However, if either of them or my Representative voted for the proposed budget as is, with the pork or put in the pork themselves, I would vote against them and that includes the two I had a high opinion of, Kit Bond and Richard Shelby – alas that’s gone. In fact, I would vote against many Republicans such as Snowe, Collins, Bond, Shelby, Hatch, Specter, and any Republican colluding with this administration for selfish reasons to undermine this country.
FOXNEWS.COM:
Senate Democrats won over just enough Republicans to move forward Tuesday night on a controversial $410 billion spending bill by the end of the night Tuesday.
But it may come as no surprise that almost all of the Republican senators who voted for the bill have billions of dollars worth of earmarks in the package.
The earmark-mania is not unique to either party — both Democrats and Republicans contributed to what Taxpayers for Common Sense estimates is 8,570 disclosed earmarks worth $7.7 billion in the bill that would fund the government through the end of the fiscal year.
But the Republican crossovers in particular have a lot at stake in the package. Two of the three Republicans that made it onto Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s “definite” list earlier Tuesday had authored 129 total earmarks worth $190 million, according to an updated list from Taxpayers for Common Sense.
Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., is actually the second-biggest earmarker, according to the list, with 64 earmarks worth $114 million. Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., is a few notches down, with 65 earmarks worth $76 million. Both voted for the bill. On the other hand, Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe, another Republican who voted for the bill, has zero earmarks.
Also voting for the bill were Sen. Kit Bond, R-Mo., who has $86 million in earmarks; Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, who has $74 million; and Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., who has $25 million. Shelby told FOX News Monday that he’s vetted all his earmarks.
“I wouldn’t want to be associated with an earmark on an appropriation that didn’t have a lot of merit to it,” he said, adding that the system has been abused by some lawmakers. “What we need to do is vet it more and more. I wouldn’t want to give up our right to appropriate money,” he said. “Otherwise, we cede it to the president, whoever that is. … But on the other hand, any earmark you have, it ought to have merit, or we shouldn’t do it.”
Shelby’s earmarks span the gamut, from $800,000 for oyster rehabilitation at the University of South Alabama, to $380,000 to the city of Tarrant, Ala., for streetscaping and walkways.
The top earmarker, by value, is a Democrat — Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia, with $123 million worth of earmarks. The senator with the most earmarks, regardless of their value, is Specter with 134.
Other Republicans, like Sen. John McCain, have tried unsuccessfully to strip the earmarks from the bill. Democratic Sens. Evan Bayh of Indiana and Russ Feingold of Wisconsin also broke off from their party out of opposition to spending measures like the earmarks.
“It looks as if Congress is just on autopilot, immune to the problems” of Americans, Bayh told a Sunday talk show.
I think it’s about time we should form a third party of Conservatives. Apparently the current Republican party in the majority don’t believe in the loyal opposition. They believe in going along to get along. One thing I would add is that Ron Paul, with the most earmarks of any Republican, has shown his true colors. Robert Bennett put in millions to study the Mormon cricket, and he double-speaks with the best of them. Since they have passed this stimulus bill without listening to the voters, our only recourse is to vote the rascals OUT. Also, if this isn’t a clear message to the voters to push locally for term limits – two terms for Senators and four terms for Representatives, I don’t know how to make it any clearer, or is it as Chuck Schumer says, “The people out there just don’t care about the earmarks.” If that’s true, God help us all!
The Republican party has lost its way since they turned on their own with Trent Lott, and this has continued. Some Republicans are burnishing their great egos on liberal media shows and make outlandish remarks that harm the Republican party – Gingrich against Rush; Gingrey against Rush; Steele, statements against Rush. They are apparently so stupid that they are open to putting their mouth ini high gear and disengaging their brain. The Republicans have a habit of turning on their own for the slightest things while Democrats do criminal things, as Burris did, continuing their criminal activities day to day, as Charlie Rangel does. Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and Charlie Rangel – all crooks and all heads of committees in Congress, and the Democrats don’t turn on them.
FOXNEWS.COM:
On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, just minutes before learning of the terrorist attacks on America, Democratic strategist James Carville was hoping for President Bush to fail, telling a group of Washington reporters: “I certainly hope he doesn’t succeed.”
Carville was joined by Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg, who seemed encouraged by a survey he had just completed that revealed public misgivings about the newly minted president.
“We rush into these focus groups with these doubts that people have about him, and I’m wanting them to turn against him,” Greenberg admitted.
The pollster added with a chuckle of disbelief: “They don’t want him to fail. I mean, they think it matters if the president of the United States fails.”
Minutes later, as news of the terrorist attacks reached the hotel conference room where the Democrats were having breakfast with the reporters, Carville announced: “Disregard everything we just said! This changes everything!”
The press followed Carville’s orders, never reporting his or Greenberg’s desire for Bush to fail. The omission was understandable at first, as reporters were consumed with chronicling the new war on terror. But months and even years later, the mainstream media chose to never resurrect those controversial sentiments, voiced by the Democratic Party’s top strategists, that Bush should fail.
That omission stands in stark contrast to the feeding frenzy that ensued when radio host Rush Limbaugh recently said he wanted President Obama to fail. The press devoted wall-to-wall coverage to the remark, suggesting that Limbaugh and, by extension, conservative Republicans, were unpatriotic.
“The most influential Republican in the United States today, Mr. Rush Limbaugh, said he did not want President Obama to succeed,” Carville railed on CNN recently. “He is the daddy of this Republican Congress.”
Limbaugh, a staunch conservative, emphasized that he is rooting for the failure of Obama’s liberal policies.
“The difference between Carville and his ilk and me is that I care about what happens to my country,” Limbaugh told Fox on Wednesday. “I am not saying what I say for political advantage. I oppose actions, such as Obama’s socialist agenda, that hurt my country.
“I deal in principles, not polls,” Limbaugh added. “Carville and people like him live and breathe political exploitation. This is all a game to them. It’s not a game to me. I am concerned about the well-being and survival of our nation. When has Carville ever advocated anything that would benefit the country at the expense of his party?”
Carville told Politico that focusing on Limbaugh is a deliberate strategy aimed at undermining Republicans.
“The television cameras just can’t stay away from him,” he said. “Our strategy depends on him keeping talking, and I think we’re going to succeed.”
Greenberg added: “He’s driving the Republican reluctance to deal with Obama, which Americans want.”
In 2006, 51 percent of Democrats wanted Bush to fail, according to a FOX News/Opinion Dynamics poll.
It would behoove those Republicans to turn their loose lips on Democrats and curb their egos and stop beating their own drum at the expense of other Republicans. Another thing they could do would be to tell the people the dangers that are approaching our country in the way of the card check being pushed by the Democrats. The unions bankrupted airlines, steel corporations, and now they are bankrupting the auto industry, and yet the Democrats want them to have the ability to spread their venom and take away one of the most sacred things this country has, the secret ballot.
The next great danger is the carbon tax that the Democrats want to place on industry because of global warming, which has been soundly disputed by most scientists – the get-along, go-along people who have been led by their noses to agree with them. There are so many people in our legislative branch that find it hard to take criticism of any kind and will not dare to buck the conventional thinking. A missive I think you should see:
FOXNEWS.COM
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly requested military aircraft to shuttle her and her colleagues and family around the country, according to a new report from a conservative watchdog group.
Representatives for Judicial Watch, which obtained e-mails and other documents from a Freedom of Information request, said the correspondence shows Pelosi has abused the system in place to accommodate congressional leaders and treated the Air Force as her “personal airline.”
Pelosi’s office disputed the claim, pointing to White House policy enacted after the Sept. 11 attacks allowing for the House speaker to travel to his or her congressional district via military aircraft whenever possible for security reasons. Her office said she typically uses the same kind of aircraft used by her predecessor, Dennis Hastert.
But Judicial Watch said that Pelosi was notorious for making special demands for high-end aircraft, lodging last-minute cancellations and racking up additional expenses for the military.
The e-mails showed repeated attempts by Pelosi aides to request aircraft, sometimes aggressively, and by Department of Defense officials to accommodate them.
“I think that’s above and beyond what other members of Congress are doing and what is expected of our elected officials,” said Jenny Small, a researcher with the group.
In one e-mail, aide Kay King complained to the military that they had not made available any aircraft the House speaker wanted for Memorial Day recess.
“It is my understanding there are NO G5s available for the House during the Memorial Day recess. This is totally unacceptable … The Speaker will want to know where the planes are,” King wrote.
In another, when told a certain type of aircraft would not be available, King wrote: “This is not good news, and we will have some very disappointed folks, as well as a very upset Speaker.”
Pelosi spokesman Nadeam Elshami said the report seemed to be based on only “a few e-mails,” and defended the requests for military aircraft for her colleagues as a “function of the speaker’s office.” Elshami said at least one of the requests in the above e-mails referenced requests made for other members.
Pelosi’s office noted that the Department of Defense ultimately makes all decisions on use of military aircraft for travel, and that Pelosi is “extraordinarily appreciative” of the department’s effort to accommodate Congress.
Make Wednesday, party day for Obama, become your “Check on your 401K day“!
I’m mad as hell and I am going to speak out against this travisty of the Democrats, Clinton, Obama and his henchmen saying this economy is Bush’s fault – that’s a damn lie. The fault lies with Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Chuck Schumer, Maxine Waters, and other Democrats that would not allow any brakes to be applied to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Millions of mortgages were forced on banks that were what is called sub-prime and were given to people who could not pay for them and this was known by the Democrats, who forced this program through.
Now the most ridiculous and obscene things I have ever seen is Barney Frank and Chris Dodd on the banking committees asking questions of bankers, grilling them, and trying to make them responsible even though both of these crooks are the slimy individuals that were the cause of this along with Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. I am not going to try to explain this again, but those of you who have read my previous articles understand this.
Now let’s talk of how the Republican party is failing to use their PR to point out how the Democratic party and the Chicago abomination policies defy credibility. They accuse the Republican party of having a culture of corruption even though the Democratic party has and have had far more corruption. However, their lies stood without any fight-back by the Republicans – HOW STUPID! And there went the 2006 and 2008 elections and the Democrats became the majority in both Houses.
Obama and all his friends of ill repute – Geithner, his Secretary of the Treasury – supposedly the man with the best qualifications for the job, hadn’t paid his taxes and since taking office has shown a complete lack of ability to do the job; Daschle was to be his Secretary of Health and Human Services, owed $140,000 in taxes and withdrew; Bill Richardson was to be his Secretary of Commerce and is under investigation for criminal activities and he withdrew; there is Burris who has committed perjury as Clinton did, and yet Libby who was entrapped as is well known by Fitzpatrick was tried – Fitzpatrick, also the federal prosecutor in the Blagojevich and Burris affair – no action taken!
The Democratic governor of New Jersey was forced out because of a homosexual affair. The Democratic governor of New York forced out because of using state funds to buy hookers. The Democratic governor of Illinois forced out because of trying to sell a Senate seat and other nefarious actions. The Democratic mayors of Detroit, Baltimore, and Newark found to be cooked. Al Sharpton, a Democrat, preacher, and trouble maker owes $931, 397 in federal taxes and $365,528 in state taxes. Joe Biden says it’s patriotic to pay your taxes – “Step up!” Guess Sharpton, Geithner, Daschle, and Eric Holder didn’t hear what he said.
Oh, by the way, the Democratic Chief of Staff to Obama, Eric Holder, owes a goodly amount of taxes. Chris Dodd and Kent Conrad took money from Country Wide. Democrat Barney Frank used his house in DC for a homosexual bordello. Democrat William Jefferson has a lot of cold cash from bribes. We have Democrat John Murtha, one of the biggest crooks EVER and a low class person who got re-elected even though he called his constituents “Rednecks” and “STUPID”. If this doesn’t list the largest bunch of Democrat reprobates and nefarious persons, I have failed in my listing.
One other thing, Obama said he wouldn’t allow lobbyists in his administration and yet he placed some in top positions. Do you think he has kept any of his promises made during the election? Like any politician, he talk from both sides of his mouth. Steele of the RNC… where the hell are you?
I know now why Obama picked Ray LaHood, a Republican, as Transportation Secretary. This idiot wants to charge tax for miles driven. I guess this idiot lives in a city and doesn’t drive. At least 50 percent of the American workers commute to work for several miles each day and the cost of gas was killing them. Now that the price of gas has come down, they have a few bucks to spend. Note the consumer rise in spending in January that the BRAINIACS couldn’t understand. Consumer spending will increase unless the politicians take a hand in raising the price of gas and they kill the goose, which is not an unusual happening.
I would think they would cooperate if, for no other reason, than the hurt it is doing to Iran, Russia, and Venezuela.
One thing of note: cartoonists are having to be very careful these days. Their free speech is under question. Apparently the guy in the kitchen can’t stand the heat. If you will notice, the late night comics are being very careful. They must miss Bush and Clinton a lot! The liberal media don’t have to worry because they ADORE Obama, or most of them do – some like Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann LOVE him! They need to learn to control their feelings as their wives may leave them.
