Nine Months Makes A Whole World Of Difference

It's close to  nine months since Obama has taken office, and what a difference it has been since the Bush years.  They are so complete opposite that it seems like black and white, or night and day.  Unfortunately,  it would be considered racist to say black and white, perhaps even night and day is racist.  Who knows?  The rules for what is the wrong thing to say and do are ever changing with the liberals.   Let's face it, before the election it was considered a crime to mention Barry's middle name.  Now, school children are sing his praises:  Mm Mm Mm,  Barack Hussein Obama.  Catchy tune, huh?   Here is a count down of nine important ways that America has drastically changed since the election of Obama.  In light of recent trends that this column does not want to appear racist,  it is similar to comparing the differences between cats and dogs. 
First major change since Obama and his cronies took over is that the rhetoric in Washington is driving the country apart.  Never mind the fact that during the campaign,  the Obama camp stated on a daily basis that he is a uniter.  That their candidate would be the one to be able to cross the isle and get things done.   How would the man who consistently voted liberal on issue after issue going to be a uniter?   Easy.  They were counting on the fact that his loyal fans would not look at his record and take it  on faith that this man was a moderate.  It worked.  Most people who voted for Obama didn't even know that his running mate was Joe Biden.   So how were these people going to know that Obama was either "not present" or voted liberally when he was a Senator for Illinois?   
Secondly,  the office of the Presidency has been abused to boost the newly elected candidate's ego.  It is a disgrace that this man yucks it up on late night talk shows, while the country is literally falling apart.  The jobless rate is higher than it has been in twenty years,  bailout after bailout has not helped the industries get back on their feet and taxes are climbing higher.  Not to mention the fact that there is a war going on in Afghanistan,  Iran has been working on nuclear weapons,  and the UN is a forum for nut cases around the world to discuss their discomfort of long travel and Israel has got to be taken off the face of the earth.  Should the list continue?  No, for if the list were to continue it would be too depressing.  Mr. Obama has taken the office of the Presidency to a new low.  He's at rock star status and loves it!  Would it be too much for the American people to ask for  president who knows his place and to do his job?  There are already tons of rock stars and movie starlets that there is no need for one to be living in the White House. 
Third,  there were questions about ACORN before the election.  Now there are even more disturbing news of how deep the corruption runs.  The ties between the President and ACORN  can not be overlooked.  They are too tight.  If ACORN is involved in tax fraud, voter fraud,  and other questionable activities, wouldn't it be obvious to the then  candidate Obama that perhaps it is time to let go of the group because of the damage it may cost?   To be honest,  Barack probably didn't think he would get caught up in a scandal because the media has done a swell job in covering for him over the past two years.  Why break ties when there is a good chance that you won't be called on it?   There is no denying that Obama had to have known of all the corruption.  He was a lawyer for the group before going to the Senate. As a lawyer, he would be privy to the operation and practices of the organization.  How else could he defend them in court?  What is interesting to see is that the President has not come out himself to denounce the organization for  it's behavior.  
Fourth,  speaking of children and singing.   How many songs have there been made of Lincoln,  JFK or Bush?  Two?  One? 
How about, ZERO.  To contrast that to Obama,  the man has at least two songs written about and for him.  Where are these kids learning these new songs:  the schools.  The double standard that is here is astonishing.   Public schools will not allow children to pray to God or mention him, yet they can extol the virtues and wonders of our President.  What are these school districts thinking?  That this is a political payback to the man who asked for their help to get elected.  Parents should be outraged over this practice and demand that the children be taught math, science and english.  Politics has no place in the schools. 
Fifth,  National Day of Prayer has been overlooked this year.  Interesting that the same person who does not attend or give lip service to this annual event will make a public statement about the celebration of Ramadan.  For those who don't know,  this is a Muslim observance where the faithful pray, become closer to God and practice self-control.  The purpose for this statement was what exactly?  To give credibility to Obama's statement that America is a Muslim and Christian country?  To pacify the Muslims so that they see that America is "accepting" of their ways?  Could it be that Obama is a Muslim himself?   Looking back over the year, it does seem obvious that Barack was telling America exactly who he is .  He is not a religious person, either in Christianity or Muslim.  He belongs to the religion of what is the best for him,  If it helps his cause, he will pretend to be a Christian, a muslim or an atheist if need be.  Which ever way the winds blow, that is what he will become. 
Number six of how things  have changed so radically is that Barack seems to hate America.  The  only President to travel the world to apologize for America's "mistake".  There can be only reason why a man who hates America would run for the highest office in the land:  to make America  pay for the transgressions of the past.  Even as a candidate it seemed that Obama had a chip on his shoulder.  As if he were carrying  anger or a grudge for far too long.  Why else would the man stay in the Rev. Wright's church for twenty years?  He believes that the black man has suffered injustice at the hands of our Country.   As a side note, so does his wife.  If there is need of proof for this hypothesis, look no further than the Crowley/Gates incident earlier this  year.  White cop, black citizen, who happens to be friends with the Presdient, and the guilty one of the two is he white cop, in Obama's eyes. 
Coming closer to the end,  number seven is dedicated to how the world now loves America and worships from afar. NOT! 
When Chavez comes to the UN to praise his pal Barack,  there is something wrong.  When Gadhafi comes to the podium and exclaims that Obama is his "son",  it is time for a reexamination.  When Iran's Ahmadinejad gives his support to the current administration,  a hard look at oneself is way over due.  Liberals love to point out that America needs to be accepted all around the world.  Respect is much better than being liked or accepted.  It is highly doubtful that at this point that Obama has earned any "love" from the other countries.  In fact, it would be accurate to say that he is thought of as naive and inexperienced.  That's comforting to know when the world seems to be in deeper turmoil,  our President can be manipulated by the other leaders of the world.   
What is a war crime?  Obviously it is an action that should be tried in the American legal system, in order to grant those who have committed or intended to commit an act of violence against the United States the same rights as United States citizens.  Obama sees things with the spectrum of trial lawyer's lenses.  With the way the prisoners of war are treated in America, it is no wonder that more men and women would do whatever it took to get the US attention and get caught in order that they could live in comfort.  The meals at Gitmo were good,  the treatment is decent compared to other countries techniques.  With a little luck,  some prisoners might get a good enough lawyer who will advocate that if the US feels that it is too dangerous for their clients to come to the States, another location should be sought. For example, a paradise resort where the prisoners can play  in the surf and sun.   This is why there were and are more radicals who are seeking to plot out another 9/11 attack in America.  They are not afraid of the consequences.  This is he eighth way America is different. 
Finally,  the ninth difference is that Americans are more fed up then ever before.  This is the only silver lining of the past nine months.  From cap and trade, to healthcare reform to date night with the wife in New York,  All the little things are starting to add up to changes that Americans don't want.  Electricity bills do not need to go higher, they need to go lower.  Obama's plan raise the rates to save the environment.    Who cares about the workers who can't find jobs! It would be better if they just sat in the dark anyways.  Health care is a problem but it is not a disaster.  With Obama,  he is making it into a disaster to prove how bad it can become.  American's response is to keep government out of our lives.  What is truly remarkable is that Obama and his minions don't care what the voters want,  they will get government healthcare if it is accepted or not.  For date night with the wife,  well as sweet as it may seem,  it could have been done in Washington D.C.   The President should set the example for he rest of the country.  If we are all to have some "skin" in the game it would make sense that the President would save money by staying home and save the environment by not using so much fuel for the jet.   Obama's actions are in line with do as I say not as I do.  For an honorable man, actions must mirror his words.  That is the crystal clear  difference in this administration.  Honor and morality have left Washington. With a little hard work on the part of citizens across the United States, it may return again.  Hopefully it will be before it  is too late.

Tea Party Musing.

A quick observation of the left's unraveling over the tea party.  Why is it okay for the left to protest and not average, American taxpayers who are struggling to keep the country that they love?  When the Pink Brigade protested against the War,  they got to have their say.  When the 9/11 Truthers wanted to and still do, blame President Bush for the attacks on that fateful day,  they are allowed to have their say.  However,  grandmothers, stay at home moms,  conservatives and others must remain silent because the liberals do not agree with their views.  When did that become public norm? 
Yesterday,  at the Tea Party Express Rally in Troy, Michigan, there were Americans from every walk of life there to protest what can only be called the beginning of the end of American's Rights.  There were old, young,  white collar and blue collar workers standing together taking a stand against their government.  One could describe it as a community effort, or dare it be said out loud, a community organizing together to bring about positive change.  It may come to a surprise to the President, but he has inspired many  people to do what he has done for years,  protest and change the laws that do not benefit you or your community. The only difference here,  these people are not looking for the handouts.  Instead, these people are looking to smack the hand that are reaching into their pockets to take away their hard earned dollars.  
Whatever the President or Congress wants to call their plan,  Healthcare or Insurance Reform, it still comes out as another layer of government intruding on the private citizen.   There are no logical plans on  how the government is going to pay for this much less run the program.  It's a  knee jerk reaction to a small number of the populations who claim that they are victims of the health care industry.  The true victims of  the healthcare industry?  The Consumer.  For every person who walks into the Emergency room, demands treatment and  can not pay the bill , there is another patient who is walking out the emergency room with a bill  over thousands of dollars, and pays for it, either with aid for Health Insurance or a savings account. Both patients are treated,  yet one pays for both of them.   This is how hospitals cover the costs of taking care of patients.  Raise the prices hoping that one person can pay  in order to break even for the ones who can't.   Is it fair?  No, but taking care of patients takes a lot of money.   Someone has to pay for it. 
Where does this vicious circle end?  Common sense tells us that the only person who truly cares for our well being is ourselves and loved ones.  Insurance companies do not care about the health of their clients,  there is always the bottom line to be more concerned about.  If these companies do not create a profit, the shareholders will not longer invest in the company.  Does this make all Insurance companies bad?  No, they are providing a service.  It is after all a business that needs to turn a profit in order to stay afloat.   For those who are pro-Obamacare, it would be nice if they would consider one question.  If the Insurance companies have to worry about the bottom line, why wouldn't a government run system have to worry about the same bottom line?  The answer to that question is quite obvious.  They do have to worry about the bottom line, which logically indicates that they will use  tactics that the Health Insurance companies are being demonized for now.  What makes this worse, is once the Government seizes control over healthcare,  consumers will be forced to have it whether they want it or not, and there will be no recourse to demand better performance.  When a company like Blue Cross messes up,  a consumer has a right shop around to  another company.  This is called consumer options and control.   When the government messes up,  what options will the consumers have?  Simple, none.   
This all adds up to one dirty little secret that liberals don't want the rest of us to know.  The best way to control a group is by taking away their security.  Raising taxes on all fronts,  energy,  health,  food, and recreation, reduces the spending power and options that Americans have.  Once the populations can not afford any of these items,  they turn to help from the source that has all the money and power.  The Government.   The Cap and Trade, Healthcare and Bailouts are just the beginning of the biggest grab of control by our Government.  It's time for conservatives to start their own recycle and save the world program.   Let's recycle every representative and Senator, all the way up to the President, and start over.   This government needs to have the garbage thrown out.   It's time to return to traditional, conservative values that have never failed this country.  It's time to end the Obamination of our country.

Stimulus Plan Is Working ... Really???

Well, the stimulus Plan must be working in Obamaland, but here in America there is a different view.  In Obama's weekly address, he did his usual spin on how wonderful the stimulus is working and that it is going like planned.  Americans should be patient, allowing for his plan to fully work it's way through in two years.  Goodness!  Let's hope that the unemployment benefits don't run out for those sitting at home because Obama stimulated us.   However, the liberals in congress and in Obamaland, will argue that those of us who oppose Obama's direction for our country are not giving him a chance.  For once, there is an agreement with Obama from the loyal opposition, the plan is working.  It is working the economy straight into the ground and if we do not stop this nonsense of economic stimulating, America will take a long time to recover.  That may spell doom for us but for China, this spells victory! 
Let's review the facts as Obama has presented them in his address.  The President stated that the jobless numbers always lag behind in a recession.  The fact that the unemployment rate is at 9.5%, probably reaching 10% by the time summer is over is no big deal.  This is exactly what the stimulus was suppose to do.  Nice spin.   However,  was it not the President who insisted that the Stimulus package had to be  passed immediately to prevent the jobless rate to reach  8%?  The numbers as they were touted by the Obama administration were as followed: Save 1.6 million jobs, create 2.1 million new jobs at the net cost to the taxpayers $775 billion to 1.2 trillion dollars.  Well, something was went wrong in the calculations, perhaps the calculator they used was run on solar or wind energy.  Thus causing a bit of mathematical error.  
What stimulates the economy the best?  Money in people's pockets.  Consumer confidence is at an all time low.  ABC News reported on June 30, 2009 that the ABC News Consumer Comfort Index stands at  -51.  This is the lowest in 23 years.  Even Sears has reported a loss in sales and in an attempt to stir up sales are looking to start the Christmas shopping season early.  As people are losing their jobs,  businesses are closing and tax hikes are on the horizons,  the average consumer is keeping their money close to home.   Can they be blamed?  
If the Cap and Trade bill sails through congress, the economy will be on life support, if not dead.  As it is, many Americans are barely hanging on trying to make ends meet. If their heating and electric bills soar, there will not be extra spending money for Christmas.  Maybe a stocking full of coal would be the nicest gift to get.  At least you can try to have a bonfire outside to try to keep warm this winter.  
How could the Obama Administration get it so wrong?   They didn't.  Their plan was to destroy the economy, take over the private sector and create a society that would be totally dependent on government handouts.  There can be no other explanation other than this because  the tactics that the leftists in Washington are using have never worked in any country.  It's been tried in Russia.  Failed.  Tried in Germany.  Failed.  Tried in Italy.  Failed.  If the current administration were concerned with growing the economy they would have cut taxes and encouraged businesses to grow.  Not one of Obama's plan support growth, prosperity or ingenuity.  If there is such a plan, then the President is hiding it from the rest of us.  Or perhaps, he's saving it for Obamaland, where ever that is.  This is not hope and change, it's more hype and chaos.

Calling out the Traitors!

A simple message to the Republicans who decided to vote for the Cap and Trade.  We know who you are, who you pretend to represent and when you are up for election.  With everything in our power, we will hand you the same pink slips that many American workers will be getting because of your mindless, uneducated and elite, lazy behind!  Read the bill before you pass it.  Listen to your constituents before voting!  Use common sense before following the other sheep in Congress who follow blindly behind Obama.  Shame on you!  
Let's take a look at the Traitors.  
Mary Bono Mack of California 
Mike Castle of Delaware
Mark Steven Kirk of Illinois 
Leonard Lance of New Jersey
Frank LoBiondo  New Jersey
John McHugh New York
Dave Reichert Washington
Chris Smith New Jersey 

It  is quite interesting that three of New Jersey's Congressman voted for this bill and yet New Jersey have not had really good times 
in the past couple of years.  As  a matter of fact, the state  has a 8.9% unemployment rate for May of 2009.  Granted it's not as high as California,  which is 11.2%,  still these Republicans did not take into account that New Jersey financially has not been doing well.  So let's give  the taxpayers a bit more to worry about.  
What these Congressman and congresswomen are missing the point that the more Americans are taxed the less we make.
Stop this mess before it gets bigger. It's time to get these people out of office before they completely ruin America. I want to keep my
freedom, don't you?
