Government Motors not selling their cars ~ the news media putting out that the reason their cars aren’t selling is that people are waiting for the new lines. My opinion is that people are sick of the unions and the fact that the President sees to it in every program that the unions are rewarded at the expense of everyone else – in the auto buyout, the health care program, the stimulus – now Saturn is being discontinued and more union jobs are gone. Saturn, until the union came in, was performing well. Wherever the unions go in our economy, they destroy. Now Obama wants Card Check so the unions can destroy other industries. I am 77, have owned many cars – all were General Motors except one, but I will NEVER buy another one.
I honestly believe Obama is using the unions to destroy our country. He used ACORN in the same way until IT got caught. Most Obama czars are criminals and low-lives out to destroy our country as well. If Card Check is put into place, the country will probably be destroyed completely in 20 years and Obama will have succeeded. Obama is in bed with Jeffrey Immelt. He gives a large campaign fund by hook-or-crook and Obama gives him access to government funds and all kinds of contracts. Obama and Immelt are bigger crooks than Cheney’s previous employer (Halliburton) EVER was… by 10,000 percent. However, the media and Michael Moore do not notice their actions or motives. I do not buy General Electric products anymore. At one time, GE was a reliable, honest company. I used to listen to Ronald Reagan hosting GE Theater and enjoyed it very much – no more. GE, with Jeffrey Immelt’s blessing, have been helping Iran with their plans against Israel to aid in their destruction, and Obama and this administration could care less.
Even the Jewish people in the Obama administration have no concern for Israel. Why the Jewish people are so enamored with Obama, when his concern is for the Palestinians, is way beyond me. Let’s take the black people voting by a vast majority for the Democrats… even though it was the Republican party’s actions that freed them and voted in the Civil Rights programs when the Democrats were against them… does that make sense? And not too long ago, with one of the Democrats (Byrd) voting against Civil Rights and was an officer in the Ku Klux Klan and now being a senior member of the Senate, make sense?
While Chicago has no shanty towns like Rio, but they have murders and rampant crime, Valerie Jarrett’s housing is worse than shanties. I would rather live in a shanty town in Rio. Since the Olympics are not coming to Chicago, Valerie Jarrett and more of Obama’s crooked friends will not make billions after all.
Isn’t it nice that two million dollars of the tax payers’ money from the stimulus package was given to Clinton’s library? That means American tax payers gave almost as much as China, but not anywhere near the amount given by lobbyists. I liken Obama to Icarus. His wings were burned off by the Olympic committee. His (Obama’s) other set of wings – health care, climate change, Cap and Trade, and Card Check will be burned off as well. I think the Creator may be protecting the United States for all the good they have done, regardless how Obama and Michelle put us down. All the liberals are not like Letterman, even though a good many are.
Isn’t it nice that the Boston Tea Party people were not afraid to act against the British forces that wished to deny us freedom? We cannot allow Obama’s union goons and ACORN from depriving us also. I had three brothers and many nephews, cousins, and uncles who fought for our country during World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and the Gulf Wars. These were all foreign wars. I am 77 years young and will gladly go into service to fight the union goons, ACORN, and people Obama has assigned to take our freedoms away in our country. This cannot be allowed, even if THEY wished.
This is all about the “gimme generation”.
As a Christian, I believe that it is every Christian’s duty to live complete lives as given to them by God. They have no right to end it for economics. Our country has only ONE chance – a new two party system calling for term limits.
Remember the Soviet Union insisting that its citizens rat out their relatives and friends? Where is the Soviet Union today? Cuba forced citizens to rat on parents, friends, and relatives… where is their economy now? Is Obama’s rant against rumor and false information a similar program, set up to destroy dissent and crush our our rights to privacy and freedom of speech?
I sure hope the DNC comes out with more of their great commercials to divide the American people. It shows their true character, absence of principal, lack of integrity, and their hate for the First Amendment and their fellow countrymen. They call their fellow Americans Nazis for using their free speech rights. This is the best hope for the Republican party to regain the majority in Congress. KEEP ON TALKING!
Hitler also decided who lived and who died. The Jews went first, then the mentally ill, criminals, people who espoused free speech and any enemy of the state. Obama’s health plan decides who lives and who dies – the Obama five year program.

EDITORIAL: Look for the union label
Politics is getting increasingly violent as Democrats desperately try to salvage their health care bill. Rep. Brian Baird, Washington Democrat, said last week that public protest against the government health care plan “is close to Brown Shirt tactics.” For Mr. Baird to characterize his constituents as Nazi storm troops is distasteful, to say the least. Yet it is fully in line with the tone set by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who misleadingly decried protesters “carrying swastikas.” Closer examination revealed that in every case, the symbol was being used as a warning against the arrogance of power of which Mrs. Pelosi has become emblematic.
Democratic talking points characterize the spontaneous grass-roots opposition to the planned government takeover of the health care system as being organized by a shadowy cabal of lobbyists and insurance companies. However, the real storm troops are being deployed openly by organized labor in an attempt to squelch dissent. On Aug. 6, AFL-CIO President John Sweeney sent marching orders to his members to confront concerned citizens at town-hall forums. In St. Louis, members of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) reportedly attacked and beat Kenneth Gladney, who was passing out yellow flags outside a forum held by Rep. Russ Carnahan, Missouri Democrat. SEIU President Andy Stern has summed up his philosophy as, “We prefer to use the power of persuasion, but if that doesn’t work, we use the persuasion of power.”
We expect to see his grim-faced “purple shirts” using intimidation at other events during the congressional recess. This effort is fully consistent with the general contempt that the Democratic majority has shown for those who oppose its radical agenda. The promised era of bipartisanship is long gone. The government’s new slogan is “sit down and shut up.” In an appearance in McLean last week, President Obama advised opponents of his plan to “get out of the way” and said he didn’t want them “to do a lot of talking.” The Obama White House made history when it set up an e-mail snitch line for people to report on the “fishy” ideas of their fellow citizens. The Democrats would do better to try to understand the root causes of this unprecedented spontaneous outpouring of public concern and frustration than to resort to intimidation tactics.
There are many serious questions about the growth of government and the planned takeover of health care that need to be answered, not beaten down. Deploying thugs will only lead to violence, which serves no one’s interest. If the people are shouting, it is because the politicians have stopped listening.

Angry rich liberals
Victor Davis Hanson
Scolding Americans for our various sins is proving popular among an elite group of self-appointed moralists. Take well-meaning environmentalists who warn us that our plush lifestyles heat up and pollute the planet. To listen to former Vice President Al Gore or New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, we must immediately curtail our carbon emissions — or face planetary destruction. Yet these influential prophets of doom do not have lives remotely similar to the lesser folk they lecture. From time to time, Mr. Gore hops on a private jet – and purchases “carbon offsets” penances for the privilege. His mansion not long ago consumed more energy in a month than the average American home does in a year. Mr. Friedman lives on a sprawling estate reminiscent of those of the grandees of the 18th-century English countryside.
The rest of us would find these environmental scolds more convincing if they chose to live modestly in average tract homes. That way, they could limit their energy consumption and provide living proof to us of how smaller is better for an endangered planet Earth. Critics in the business of racial grievance offer the same contradictions. Recently, Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. got into a spat with a white policeman who arrested him in his own home for disorderly conduct. Mr. Gates immediately cried racism. He argued that his plight was emblematic of the burdens the black underclass endures daily from a racist white America. However, Mr. Gates is one of the highest-paid humanities professors in the United States. And Mr. Gates – not the middle-class Cambridge, Mass., white cop — engaged in shouting and brought up race.
Within hours, the black mayor of Cambridge, the black governor of Massachusetts and the black president of the United States all rallied to their chum’s side. Yet this well-connected, well-paid man apparently wants us to believe in melodramatic fashion that he is living in something like the United States of decades ago. Indeed, citing racial grievance at times proves a valuable asset for wealthy celebrities. Michael Jackson and O.J. Simpson posed as victims of various racial oppressions when they found themselves in their own self-created legal problems. Race-baiter the Rev. Jeremiah Wright simply retreats to his three-story mansion on a golf course after his day job of denouncing whites as exploiters.
We have more of the rich on the barricades railing about the economic inequality of America. Former Democratic Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina preached about “two Americas,” one poor and abandoned, one wealthy and connected. Mr. Edwards should know because he built himself a gargantuan multimillion-dollar mansion in which he might better contemplate the underprivileged outside his compound. Sen. Christopher Dodd, Connecticut Democrat, sermonizes about corporate greed and credit card companies’ near-extortion. Nonetheless, Mr. Dodd managed to squeeze out of the corporate world a low-interest loan, a sweetheart deal for a vacation home in Ireland, and thousands in campaign donations.
Former senator and Cabinet nominee Tom Daschle of South Dakota was a big proponent of raising taxes to nationalize our health care system. The problem was that the populist Mr. Daschle both hated paying taxes and loved limousines — and so avoided the former but welcomed the latter. In the old days, critics of what we called the “system” were at least for the most part blue-collar workers, underpaid teachers or grass-roots politicians whose rather modest lives matched their angry populist rhetoric. Now the most vehement critics of America’s purported sins are among the upper classes. These critics’ parlor game has confused Americans about why they are being called polluters, racists and exploiters by those who have fared best in America.
Do the wealthy and the powerful lecture us about our wrongs because they know their own insider status ensures that they are exempt from the harsh medicine they advocate for others? Mr. Gore, a millionaire, is not much affected by higher taxes for his cap-and-trade crusade. Or does the hypocrisy grow out of a sort of class snobbery? Do elites hector the crass middle class because its members lack their own taste, rare insight and privileged style? Judging from the police report, Mr. Gates seemed flabbergasted that the white Cambridge cop did not know who he was “messing” with. Or is the new hypocrisy an eerie sort of psychological compensation at work?
Perhaps the more Mr. Gore rails about carbon emissions, the more he can without guilt enjoy what emits them. The more Mr. Gates can cite racism, the more he himself is paid to spot it. And the more Tom Daschle wants to tax and spend for health care, the less bad he feels about his own chauffeur and tax avoidance. Here’s a little advice for all of America’s wealthy critics: a little less hypocrisy, a little more appreciation of your good lives — and then maybe the rest of us will listen to you a little more.
And another…

PRUDEN: Recycling the contempt
OPINION/ANALYSIS: Recycling is so popular that even our congressmen, unaccustomed as they are to practicing what they preach, do it. They’re reaching back into the dark past to recycle contempt. Never waste a crisis, even if you have to manufacture the crisis. Democrats from the cosseted life in the House and Senate, accustomed to getting the deference at home so often denied in Washington, are suddenly having to deal with inconvenient old folks at home. President Obama insists that the War on Terror is over, ended by his ultimate weapon, the Apology Bomb. But to listen to delicate congressmen whose feelings are hurt, al Qaeda has merely moved terror operations to their congressional districts.
Angry lynch mobs (to hear House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her sidekick Steny Hoyer tell it) of elderly gents on walking sticks and little blue-haired ladies in their 80s have descended on congressmen at town meetings across the country – in California, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri, Maryland, Ohio, Georgia and other places. They’re taking out their anger and frustration at the Obama health care “reform” in the robust American way, but Mrs. Pelosi professes to see “reform” adrift on a turbulent sea of Nazi swastikas. Rep. Brian Baird of Washington sees a blur of Brown Shirts. Sen. Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas calls the dissenters “un-American.” She later remembered where she was and said she didn’t mean to call them that. Her contempt for Arkansas folks just popped out. In Georgia, Rep. David Scott tried to calm a town meeting with a plea to “calm down and take a deep breath,” then took a deep breath and scolded everyone with a hysterical screed about the “hijacking” of his meeting.
Rep. Steve Cohen treated his Memphis constituents with similar contempt: “Take two aspirin and come back in the morning.” Rep. Russ Carnahan told livid St. Louis constituents, naive yokels in his view, that they had been “mobilized [by] special interests in Washington.” The frightened Democratic reaction to robust debate – “the conversation” that “progressives” are so eager to have with those who disagree with them – recycles the insults and epithets last heard in confrontations over civil rights and the war in Vietnam. The protests are “organized,” the work of “outside agitators.” Martin Luther King, by Democratic reckoning, was an outside agitator. The marches against the Vietnam war were marvels of organization, true, but … umm, well … that was different. Mr. Obama should recognize outside agitation when he sees it, given his career in outside agitation in Chicago. He was taught by Saul Alinsky, “the father of American radicalism,” that the left-wing strategy for achieving an unpopular goal is to “pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” We’re almost there.
The Democrats are trying to impose rationed government health care (the target) quickly, before the public wakes up from entertaining distractions (the freeze), making villains of all who oppose (personalizing it) and creating a chaotic controversy (polarizing it) that can be effectively exploited. Mr. Obama once taught Saul Alinsky workshops in Chicago, so he was ready when he thought he heard opportunity knocking. But the president and his congressional accomplices forgot that timing is everything. The public-opinion polls show that bare majorities think there’s a health care crisis, but bigger majorities are satisfied with their own coverage.
The majority can smell government medicine and the confiscatory taxes on the way. The president further miscalculated when he agreed to the insertion of a scheme, hidden in the thousand pages of the House legislation, to “offer” counseling to the aged about how they want to die. Nothing there about the “how” and “when.” That comes later. When he confronts mortality, a man is suspicious of boodlers with smooth tongues. Roger Fakes, 70, a retired businessman, showed up at the Memphis “town hall” in neither Brown Shirt nor swastika (he’s actually a Presbyterian elder). His congressman’s insistence that Obamacare would not disturb his private insurance moved him to his feet with polite but pointed questions and observations: “There are some of us old gray-haired folks who don’t want the government involved in any of our business.” And not just the gray-haired folks. Congressmen are learning the hard way they sometimes have to listen, like it or not.

Palin got it right
Rep. Don Young
On July 24, Democratic Sens. Barbara Boxer of California and John Kerry of Massachusetts took to The Washington Post to attack former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s opposition to the Waxman-Markey cap-and-tax legislation and her overall energy philosophy.
Mrs. Palin correctly criticized the scheme presented in the legislation sponsored by Democratic Reps. Henry A. Waxman of California and Edward J. Markey of Massachusetts. By only citing a report from the left-of-liberal Center for American Progress, Mr. Kerry and Mrs. Boxer naively underestimate the effects the legislation will have on the American economy. Other, more mainstream organizations, such as the Brookings Institution and the Black Chamber of Commerce, disagree.
Waxman-Markey artificially creates competition between cheap, abundant energy and unreliable, expensive renewable forms, compelling utilities to use heavily subsidized, politically correct “renewable energy” while thousands who work producing traditional energy lose their jobs.
All the while, American industry will flee to other countries where they can power their assembly lines with cheaper energy. Because nearly four decades of obscene subsidies for wind and solar power haven’t worked, Waxman-Markey ups the ante and engages in societal re-engineering and fundamental restructuring of America’s energy supply.
According to the Energy Information Administration, wind and solar receive 55 times more in subsidies than coal and 100 times more than oil and natural gas. Yet today, wind and solar barely make up 1.5 percent of America’s electricity supply and 0.5 percent of the total U.S. energy supply, while 85 percent of the U.S. energy supply originates from fossil fuels. These figures make clear to what extent the Waxman-Markey bill must give a leg up to wind and solar to force their success. The simple fact is that these so-called industries would not survive without mandates and subsidies.
Mrs. Boxer and Mr. Kerry seem ignorant of the fact that wind and solar fail to power America’s trucks, planes, trains and ships. In reality, wind and solar will not displace the energy necessary for moving people and products around the country.
Nevertheless, while mocking Mrs. Palin’s good sense, they choose to advocate legislation and policies that will drive U.S. dependence on foreign oil through the roof. The senators seem oblivious to the fact that nearly one-fourth of every barrel of oil goes to producing the asphalt on which their electric cars drive, the lubricants that enable the blades on their windmills to spin and the plastics that are used in the medical supplies, fabrics and raw materials Americans cannot live without.
In 1995, Congress passed legislation to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to oil and gas development. In fact, legislation to open ANWR has passed the House 10 times and the Senate once. Unfortunately, President Clinton vetoed that attempt, and today, Americans fail to enjoy the hundreds of millions of barrels a year that would be flowing had the bill become law.
Now, for the first time since 1982, we have the ability to develop our offshore resources. In 2008, President George W. Bush let the Executive Moratorium on Outer Continental Shelf Development expire, and Congress did not renew the legislative moratorium. However, the Obama administration and the radical environmentalists have other plans, and a de facto moratorium remains.
American energy marvels such as the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) are the real drivers of the American economy. TAPS didn’t require a government mandate; it required the federal government to get out of the way. This pipeline would never be built today. TAPS was successful only because of the oil embargo and, more significantly, because the legislation curtailed the ability of environmentalists to file lawsuits to block the project — an effort in which, unfortunately, they have become well versed. This summer, as TAPS prepares to send its 16 billionth barrel to the consumer, I am reminded that Sarah Palin is correct and Mr. Kerry and Mrs. Boxer are again on the wrong side of energy issues.
Healthy markets succeed when the federal government steps back, not when it picks winners and losers. If history has demonstrated anything, it’s that economies cannot be centrally planned by legislative bodies or bureaucrats — even though some in the majority party seemingly disagree. The market, coupled with the ingenuity and enduring spirit of hardworking Americans, always wins.
Cheap energy means a strong economy. This is something we’ve learned firsthand in Alaska. In our villages, where gasoline or heating oil can top $7 a gallon, jobs are hard to come by.
The senators write that climate legislation will “ensure that the United States — not China or India — will be the leading economic power in this century.” But the truth is, they already are.
The United States was the dynamic economic power in the 20th century without cap-and-trade. I know Mrs. Palin and I are both committed to ensuring that America’s economic dominance continues into the 21st century rather than embarking blindly down the road to serfdom offered in Waxman-Markey and by the aforementioned senators from Massachusetts and California.
Lest we forget hundreds of thousands of homes going into bankruptcy – what happened? Let’s take a look:
Jimmy Carter passed a law governing home sales making them available to people who couldn’t afford them. Bill Clinton embellished it. Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, and Chris Dodd refused to let the Bush administration make rule changes and oversee Freddie and Fannie. That, initially, started the house of cards to implode. No matter what, the Democratic congress have continued to remain in power for the last three years – the ones who caused this financial meltdown. It all comes back to giving mortgages to people who couldn’t afford them, by the thousands. The banks got overwhelmed, and then due to the Democrats actions the failures in businesses started.
Obama talks about what he inherited. He doesn’t bring attention to who really caused it, the Democratic congress in power with the tactics they used while they had the power… and they still have that power. What other harm will they cause? Now they are offering a way to harm our military and the past administration by creating a furor over the interrogation techniques. Does anyone remember the beheading of a journalist, four beheaded bodies hanging from a bridge, Saddam killing millions of his own citizens – using poison gas on old people, women, and children? All these supposed tortures, if taken together, would not equal one-tenth the torture used by either one of Saddam’s two sons on anyone that crossed them.
The Democrats talk about Darfur and poor citizens being killed, and yet they scream about Bush freeing 50 millions Iraqis from death that could happen at any moment if they crossed either Saddam or his sons. The Democratic liberals would allow the beheading of American soldiers, Saddam torturing and killing his own people – yet we may not use any form of interrogation and must justify the interrogation we do use, buy the lies of terrorists, as when the Taliban kills dozens of their own people and say we did it and the liberals buy their lies (lock, stock, and barrel). As far as I am concerned, Bush’s legacy will be saving 50 millions people in Iraq, giving them freedom and saving 15 million lives from aids in Africa. He was the most maligned President, while in office, ever and was the object of wrath by a slimy group of hate-mongers known as DEMOCRATS. As far as I am concerned, they are as low as you can go.
The culture of corruption is alive and well in THIS administration, headed by none other than Private Jet (furnished by Air Force) Nancy Pelosi, on top of all her lying about the CIA to cover her a$$. Then of course you have John Murtha, the master of all earmarks, making sure his family receives millions of dollars by his chicanery. There is Harry Reid who has carried nepotism to it’s ninth degree by enhancing the fortunes of his family. Dianne Feinstein, seeing to it that her husband gets millions of dollars in contracts. Congressman John Dingell and his wife, a Washington Power Couple. If a congressman pays for service from a prostitute, they are kicked out of office, but Barney Frank pays for a male prostitute and he is allowed to continue and be one of the major players in this financial meltdown of the country.
Cabinet appointees not having paid their taxes – all Democrats – no wonder they like to raise taxes. Only Republicans have to pay them. Tom Daschle, a Senator who was defeated, was to join the cabinet but owed over $100,000 in back taxes and so was turned down. He immediately joined GE, the most corrupt corporation there is with ties and pull for and with this administration by use of its media arm. Tom and his wife, a lobbyist, have taken great care to spread the wealth to other members of their family. Dodd and Conrad, with their mortgage difficulties – William Jefferson, with his cold cash – Charlie Rangel, a crook and tax cheat – the list could go on, but why bother? Ninety percent of the Democratic politicians are crooked and their constituents vote them back in, so who is to blame – the Democratic crooks or their constituents?
The SEC is allowing traders to manipulate the gas and oil prices, raising them even though there is an over-supply of both, and they are helping terrorist states by their actions. Where are the demonstrators walking up and down in front of their houses as they did to Wall Street CEO’s? Why hasn’t a list of them been sent out to the media with addresses given so their neighbors would know who they are and the terrorist countries can call them up and THANK them?
A question arises as to why CEO’s salaries should be subject to government intervention. Why not movie stars – being subjected to salary caps? Let’s say no more than $1,000,000 per picture and television series limited to $1,000 per episode… GO TO IT OBAMA!
I wonder if Obama asked David Axelrod to compare Miss California and a dog, or could it be that Perez Hilton may be Axelrod’s lover? Don’t think this is very apropos for a high official in a Democratic administration. The NPR Democratic party, I understand, roared with laughter as would NBC and MSNBC listeners.
Obama's handlers always "on call". BlackBerry and Tele-prompter make Obama a dull boy!
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself, and Obama is making sure that we have plenty of that. That is not emanating from Obama himself but from his handlers, George Soros, MoveOn.org, DailyKos, Huffington Post, and the unions. I would imagine that his number one button on his BlackBerry would be to George Soros, number two is the President of the UAW, and number three to the ACLU. If only he were his own man. If his handlers or controllers were people who cared for their country, their control would not be so scary and create fear in the hearts of TRUE Americans as it does. How entities such as these were able to elect a President they could so easily control is a fear to consider itself. Understanding how this happened and this man was able to appoint a Homeland security head that would immediately put out a memo declaring Conservatives to be a danger and threat to the country takes an irrational mind.
An administration composed of liars, tax-cheats, and lobbyists is the most surprising thing that has happened in politics in YEARS. Another surprising thing is the Republicans in the Senate approving this collection of incompetents and low-lives, which in itself demands that they all be voted out of office.
Their next test is Kathleen Sebelius, who should be prosecuted for lying about her support from an abortionist doctor for what I describe as an actual hit-man hired to kill, which is what late-term abortion is.
Airforce One and two fighter jets over New York City gave concern to many American citizens who went running from their offices in terror with the remembrance of what happened on September 11, 2001. Did Obama know about this and was this his way of having a little bit of FUN with the New York City residents, whom he has not visited since being elected to be President? Seems he takes New York for granted, and well he should. He probably considers them the same as the tea party people, who he put down quite handily. If you notice, it was Missouri he went to on his 100th day. Could that be because they did away with free speech during the Presidential campaign when the officials there put out information that NO ONE COULD CRITICIZE OBAMA for fear of PROSECUTION? Is it any wonder that he honored them with his presence?
I wonder if those people in New York that ran out of their buildings at the site of planes flying low over the city would have welcomed President Clinton doing a little “torture” of the 19 terrorists that flew the planes on September 11 that killed over 3,000 people. Did the fact that the Clinton administration would not allow the CIA and FBI to communicate with each other, for which Janet Reno and Jamie Gorelick pushed for that policy, have any bearing on the susceptibility of New York City at that time? Did Clinton agree with Reno and Gorelick or was he like Obama and subject to other peoples’ views, as Obama is to George Soros, MoveOn.org, DailyKos, Huffington Post, and the unions?
Having Pockets Berger to steal incriminating secret documents and destroying them, I wonder if the relatives of those killed on September the 11th would be so against water-boarding, which DOESN’T disable anyone – I doubt it!
I see where Obama is putting down the people who participated in the tea parties. I wonder if he realizes the royalists, during the original tea party, felt the same way about those tea party participants. In fact, I get the idea that Obama, himself, thinks he is royalty. I doubt if his putting down the tea party demonstrators is going to dissuade them from further demonstrations. If it does, I have misjudged my fellow Americans and so has he. I guess Obama must have listened carefully to Bill Press and his tirade of hate against the demonstrators. The platform for his hate was given by Fox News. These demonstrations were not covered by all but one of the news channels, and of course not by the New York Times, NewsWeek, and so forth – and I would recommend these demonstrators avoid ALL contact with ANY of THEM but rejoice in their demise, which is moving along QUITE WELL!
Obama took a lesson from Chavez and Noriega and put down the demonstrators as they do, but at least he didn’t use bullets as they do, not saying that he wouldn’t.
Now let’s talk about the esteemed Senator Specter and his departure from the Republican party. All I have to say is bon voyage. He always was a thorn in the side of the Republican party and has NO integrity or character and will fit right in with the Democrats and their values, their values as welcome as a skunk at a garden party. Obama just filled his last cabinet appointee with Kathleen Sebelius, of the same character as his others – had to pay back-taxes and also lied about an amount of money received for her campaign from a late-term abortionist doctor, same values as the rest of his cabinet. As you can see, this is the cesspool of all the preceding administrations’ cabinets. Those Republicans who voted for her nomination should, themselves, be voted out of office – their values are also in question.
