The Obama Administration continues to spin the truth about the economy and unemployment.  Regardless of where you stand politically, the reality is that the recession is not over, nor will it be over in the near future and the current administration is doing nothing to reverse the downward spiral.  Obama likes to play the game of illusions.  However, even a magician knows that if you stay before your audience for too long,  they find your secrets.  The magic is no longer fascinating.  The truth about lies is that in order to sustain a lie,  it must have a little speck of truth in it in order to keep spinning it into a new story. 

November 2009  unemployment is at 10.0%  according to the Bureau of labor Statistics.  What was Obama’s response?  “Let’s have a job summit”  Where the brilliant observation was made that the onus of job creation rests with the private sector.  Wow!  Anyone taking a Economics course in college could have come up with that one.   .  Obama can talk all he likes about where he believes jobs should be created.  The reality that he does not want anyone to know is the number of new employee of the United States government.  In January 2009,   the government added 31, 000 new jobs while the private sector continues to struggle.  More Americans are losing jobs, struggling to make ends meet and the President lectures on job creation.  In an odd way, he is telling the private sector to follow the government lead in hiring new personnel.  However,  the small businesses of America do not have a handy money printing machine that they  can just switch on when the money starts to dry up.  Mr. Obama has proven he not only has one of those nifty machines,  he knows how to turn the switch it on and off.  Come to think of it, it’s almost like a teleprompter. 

The nugget of truth in Obama’s statement turns into a lie when his actions reverses the incentives for  small businesses to hire people.  What is the government doing to help the confidence of small businesses to grow?  Nothing.  In fact, they are creating more fear with agendas such as tax and cap,  healthcare reform, and generally trying to spend their way out of a recession.  It is absolute madness, and the American people are starting to see that the man how made the promises of hope and change is quite like the Wizard of  Oz.  If someone pulls back the curtain on the “image” of the President who would be savior, there would stand a human being who isn’t so grand at all. He’s just  someone who wants power and control.  

The illusion of grandeur must continue for Obama to achieve this destructive path that America is taking daily. Each time there are new numbers about the economy,  it will be delivered as “it’s not as bad as we thought” or “the unemployment numbers have gone down, but that’s because people have stopped collecting unemployment and  have given up.”  Sooner or later, the lie can not stand on its own.  Obama will have to come up with something to divert the citizen’s attention to some program or handout that might when back his popularity.  With how his numbers are dropping, it better be really spectacular.   Even Obama may have trouble pulling that off. 

  How long will it be when the proverbial “other shoe” drops and cities start to close down services because property taxes are not being paid?  This economy can no longer be described as a spiral downward.  It would be more accurate to say it is in a free fall.   In all the political commentary, no one has addressed how to stop this administration from the reckless course they are taking.   The only ideas batted about are the elections of 2010 and 2012.  While it is true,  this is a golden opportunity for Republicans to gain seats,  it is more imperative that actions be taken now to stop this nonsense.  When the President of the United States is smug enough to fly over peaceful demonstrators who oppose his healthcare reform  in order to give a speech to admiring fans who accept every word  he says, than it is time to do something immediately.  impeachment is not the answer but finding ways to take away his power is better.  

Time to unplug the teleprompter.  With every lie that President Obama spews, the truth has to come out ten times louder.  Controlling the media and news is crucial. The Mainstream Media has shown to often who they are siding with and what information will be doled out to their audience.  As educated citizens, it is important to remember Regains words, “Trust but verify.”  Read, listen to every point of view, and verify the sources.  It is only then  that being armed with the truth will the lies lose  their effect on Americans.  It also gives the citizens the confidence to fight back and say “NO.” to ridiculous spending, taxes and programs. 

The Internet is a wonderful tool to put the information out into the hands of average citizens.  The real test of getting information out is the use of other media, such as television, radio and print.  Isn’t it amazing that conservative books are selling like hot cakes now?  How about Fox News?   It really is not a big surprise that their ratings top all the other cable news shows.  The phenomenon of talk radio began in the 80’s when everyone thought it was a stupid venture.  Why does congress want to shut the airwaves down with the Fairness Doctrine?  Truth is the antidote to the cancer of lies.   

It’s time to take up the mighty pen to stab out the monster of economic mess that Americans are experiencing.  While it is true, not everyone can have a best selling book, do a news show or talk on the radio.  However, writing to Representatives and Senators is a start in being heard.  Talk to neighbors, family members or anyone who wants to engage in meaningful debate.  It is in the arena of ideas that problems are faced and  sometimes fixed.  The shame of being conservative should be over and should anyone need a course on how to be openly conservative,  listen to Hannity, Beck, Levin and Limbaugh.  

It’s also  time to teach Democrats that citizens don’t need  the government to rescue them.  However,  it is the government that will need citizens to come to the rescue to save the country.  First mission,  stop the spending.  Second mission, stimulate the economy the right way.  Third mission,  elect  people who are worthy of the voters trust.  Anyone game? 

Corporate greed is bad.  It is everywhere and once Americans notice it, all companies must be scrutinized, investigated, taxed and bullied out of existence.  At least that is the picture that the media often presents when reporting on the big bad companies.  To hear them belly ache and complain about corporations, CEO's and capitalism one would think that  Average Joe is suffering needlessly under the feet of the Three Big C's.   Lucky for Average Joe,  One Big Government is bigger, bolder and bossier.  The type of government that squashes ingenuity, hope and prosperity.  Isn't Average Joe lucky to have One Big Government as a friend?  Truth of the matter is, Average Joe is being told a lie and the proof is in One Big  Government's greedy spending.  If it weren't so sad, it would be comical. 

Yesterday, Michael Jackson was everywhere.  On TV, on the radio, the internet, and newspapers.  There was no escaping from the circus the media were calling a memorial.  It was the most disgraceful, tacky and moronic display of public worship that has ever been witnessed in our lifetime.  This past week, Rep King lambasted the media for it's non-stop coverage of Michael Jackson's death.  His observations about the whole circus deserves our attention because it does begs an answer to a very serious question:  What does this circus of a funeral, for a dysfunctional middle-aged pop star say about the American people?

Something disturbing is happening out there in the media and the Internet.  All of a sudden, new discoveries are uncovered by the press about Obama.  First it was about the tape that the L.A. Times won't release because they like Obama.  What other  reason could there be for holding onto the tape?  It is certainly not because he showed his true conservative colors!  It was first mentioned a few years ago, but only now has someone said "Wait a minute, didn't Obama speak at a farewell event for Rashid Khalidi, you know the guy who once played an important role in the PLO.  I think is was a while back, oh yeah, like 2003".  This is important information.  So important that when Khalidi was tracked down in New York,  he didn't have anything to say.  Where was this information two years ago?  Why didn't the media say something sooner?  To be honest they didn't want to mention it at all because it would prove the  point made by Obama's critics that he has questionable ties to radical terrorists.  Back to our main question, why didn't this come out sooner?  Answer:  If they leak it out one week before the election, then they can not be blamed for not saying anything.  It's not their fault that this has just come to the light.  The second benefit and perhaps, the most important,  it demoralizes the conservative base.
