Forgot To Ask

Taking on companies one job at a time - unions.. Destroying America!

Oh what a web we weave… Chris Dodd is a liar.  Timothy Geithner is a liar.  The Obama administration are all liars – said he wouldn’t have lobbyists in his administration – that’s a lie; allowed people of unsavory practices and people who hadn’t paid their taxes into his administration.  They, of course, are liars to be in his administration, and that makes him a liar.  He said bills would be before the people for five days before submitting.  That makes the stimulus bill a LIE.  He said his administration would be transparent, and that’s a LIE.  Obama and his followers put down the economy for months before the election, taking that line from spitting James Carville’s lead as in the Clinton attacks on the economy during his election, which he won, and that with the help of big ears Ross Perot.  There are many other lies made by Obama and his administration, but there are too many to go over.

His actions make me wonder if he is destroying the country on purpose, and if he gets away with taking away secret ballots from American workers and places a carbon tax on energy and industries he WILL destroy us.  We will be left with wondering why he did it.

As far as the AIG bonuses, the two biggest receivers of campaign funds from AIG were Chris Dodd and Obama.  They and Geithner all knew of this – didn’t think it would raise such a chorus of discontent from the American people, so they had to lie about their parts in this and try to cover it up.  They are all a bunch of LYING WEASELS.  Now they want Soviet style powers over companies other than financial institutions that are failing.  Who decides if they should be taken over and use tax payers’ money to bail them out?  That is what bankruptcy is for.  Then it is not the tax payers who pay, but stockholders and people involved in that company – which is what should have happened to AIG, GM, and Chrysler.  There have been many instances of large corporations going bankrupt, and by use of the bankruptcy law these corporations have returned to as good or better than before, without use of tax payers’ money.  I like that, don’t you?

Geithner wants more power but doesn’t seem to know how to use what he has.  Actually, with his ineptitude it would be almost hilarious if it weren’t so scary.  He reminds me of the cow with the crumpled horn or Humpty Dumpty sitting on a slick wall.  In my opinion, Geithner MUST go!  As far as those people saying “He has only been in office a short time.  Give him a chance.” – it’s like someone putting baking soda on a cancerous tumor and instead of going to a cancer treatment hospital they say “Let’s give the baking soda a chance.”

Obama has started class warfare, class envy, and mob mentality and the latter has been encouraged by use of the Obama cultist followers with the full knowledge of Obama, and then he stands back and chides those he encouraged.  He’s the most scary President we have ever had and that includes Jimmy Carter.  He is also the most dishonest President we have ever had, and that includes Bill Clinton.  He also out-distances Clinton on ego and arrogance, which is no small feat.  If Obama has his way, we will endure our own Black Wednesday as England did with its currency on 16, September, 1992.

Not noticed and not mentioned is the apparent manipulation of the stock market in the last few weeks.  As to what purpose, I can only surmise – it’s to make certain people rich.  I know that average Americans don’t follow the stock market and manipulators don’t really worry about the SEC as can be attested to by Bernie Madoff, being the head of the SEC at one time.  Unless and until the SEC is made honest by a person of integrity and character, if such exists any more, this corruption will continue.  As you can see from the Obama administration and the people he brought in, there is some doubt if people of that kind do exist.

Obama says he wants to re-invest in education, yet we spend more on education than any other country.  Our failure in education is due to the teachers union and Democrats protecting that union, and political correctness.  The environmentalists have cost thousands of jobs with the support of the Democrats.  Recently in Oregon, thousands of jobs were lost to tree worshipers.  Obama is taking his cue from Al Gore, trying to cap carbon and kill our industries and energy plants when there is no global warming.  And by use of propaganda, he has convinced the Obama cultists it does exist and makes them a tool of his and Al Gore’s movement.  These environmentalists are a crazy lot.  See attached video:

Now the Democrats are on a kick to save the newspaper.  They want to make them non-profit as PBS is – won’t have to pay taxes, will probably get postage-free mailing – that will really help our postal service.  Does anyone wonder why the Democrats want to save these journalists’ jobs?  I don’t.

Obama says he wants to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and yet it is so easy to do by allowing drilling and the processing of oil shale.  He is a lying sack of sh**!  Some of the crap the Democrats do is never mentioned as in having ACORN involved in census counting and nobody says anything, and of course his winning of the election was partly due to their criminal activities.  Will he pay the unions and ACORN back for their help in his election?  He is doing his best to do that everyday.  Too bad he wasn’t trying to help American citizens and the country – guess that’s too much to ask for.

Obama wants to raise revenue.  That’s all that is on his mind – to make more government funds available for the furthering of his plan to make the United States a socialist nation.  Let’s hope the Congress, even the Democrats, will not allow this.  Obama wants card check as one of the ways to pay back the unions for their support.  DANA Corporation allowed use of card check.  The unions harassed the employees, going to their homes at night, harassed them during their breaks on the job, harassed workers as they entered and left the factory, finally strong-arming enough employees to get a union.  Those who didn’t want it complained to the National Labor Relations Board.  They were allowed a secret ballot and the union was voted out.  This left many hurt feelings and a break-up of relationships.

Final note – AIG bonuses pale in comparison to bonuses paid to Merill Lynch employees just before this failing company was taken over by Bank of America – how’s $3.6 BILLION with a ‘B’ sound to you?  I wonder what foreign country is holding these monies for them?

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:

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“!

Head of RNC, Michael Steele - GET BUSY!

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.

No, I did NOT die, so here goes…

Will the real Barack Hussein Obama please stand up?  Could Alzheimers hit a very young man?  Unfortunately yes.  He went to church with a racist preacher for twenty years and didn’t hear anything; worked with an anti-Semite priest for many years, yet he is not anti-Semite – didn’t hear him either – no doubt Alzheimers; worked with a terrorist who bragged about getting away with it, and even wished he could have created more terror within his own country.  Barack Hussein Obama must have Alzheimers.  He bought property with a person convicted of a felony.  The convicted felon said Barack Hussein Obama didn’t know anything about his criminal activities.  With Alzheimers, how could he?  He probably doesn’t remember how he looked in those Muslim robes.  Too bad he has Alzheimers.  Don’t forget… at least he is married to someone proud of her country.  Perhaps she can help him get over his Alzheimers and be able to run the country and be the most powerful man in the world.  Needless to say, I don’t rest easy.

Something I wrote about months ago has just become, now, center of the country’s attention.  **Do a search on my website for ANWR and you will see 31 articles I’ve written about the subject, all the way back to July 8, 2006**

The high prices of gas over an extended period seems to be able to, at least, make people think.  However, the Democrats have only one thing in their narrow minds.  Anytime someone mentions drilling in certain areas of the country, their standardized answer or talking point is that the oil companies have 68 million acres to drill on, even if there is no oil to be drilled.  Meanwhile, China and Cuba are drilling off the Cuban coast.  Norway, Britain, and many other countries drill off their coasts and we have been drilling off the coast of Texas and Louisiana, and with the new technology there have been very few incidents of damage or spillage to the deep sea rigs OR the coast line – even with hurricanes … like Katrina.

Now, as to the drilling in ANWR – McCain said he wouldn’t drill in the Grand Canyon or the Everglades and, of course, pristine ANWR.  Could someone please tell me how many tourists go to the Grand Canyon and how many go to the Everglades?  Now, how many go yearly to ANWR – about the same amount as those who visit outer space.  In fact, the topography reminds me of some outer space planet.  The citizens of Alaska would receive more oil royalties than they currently do.

L et’s all go back to the 2006 election and things said then….

Mrs. Pelosi said if people voted for and gave the Democrats control of Congress, THEY had a plan to make the price go DOWN.  However, the PRICE has almost DOUBLED – now WHAT?  Who says Washington is broken?  EVERYONE!  Now let’s all say together NOT that “I believe in fairies”, but “68 MILLION ACRES“.

May God continue to bless the USA and save us from Barack Hussein Obama!
