I Declare You Unconstitutional, Obama!

I'm rather slow in finding out about this, but did you know that portions of the health care bill passed by the Senate specifically say they cannot be repealed except by a three-fifths vote of the Senate? Are you kidding me? You pass a bill that forces me to buy health insurance, and then you tell me it can only be repealed by a supermajority? I don't think so!!!! That's not constitutional. Of course, who is going to say it's not? A supreme court stacked with Obama nominees?

You're Not Forcing Me to Buy Insurance!

I just started reading Michelle Malkin's book entitled Culture of Corruption and it is horrifying. Page by page it lays out the broken promises, lies and corruption in Obama's administration - which isn't even a year old. For example, he broke his promise that his administration would be transparent and would give the American people five days to review a bill before he signed it into law - with the very first bill he signed. Since then, no bill has been online 5 days before being signed. Most haven't been online at all and some were posted after they were signed.

Speaking of dirty tricks, what do you think of that trick the Senate pulled? Voting Christmas eve morning, when most Americans are occupied, on a 2,000 page healthcare bill no one has read, using OUR money to bribe a Nebraska senator into voting for it, mandating that individual citizens buy products in the private market or face fines - is this the America we know and love? Not everyone needs health insurance. I can think of several groups of people who would be better off saving their money - but under this bill, either you buy it or you pay $750 a year to the feds. I don't think so. I've already decided what I will do if I ever ever receive a notice like that, but I am too much of a lady to write it here.

And another thing, is it a coincidence that after Obama took office the Muslims start coming out of the woodwork? Bush kept us safe after 9/11, but now we have a crazy Muslim doctor killing 13 people at Ft. Hood and a crazy Nigerian Muslim getting onboard a flight with a homemade explosive device. Maybe it's too early to blame Obama, but the US had plenty of warning about both of those guys but did nothing. Only time will tell if this trend will continue, but these incidents dishearten me, as does Obama's attitude towards the War on Terror- oops, I meant the Overseas Contingency Operation.

My Grade for Obama

Are you prepared to puke? OK, read this article about Obama's interview with Oprah. Oprah asked him what grade he gave himself on his time in office and he said a B+. If he gets health care passed, he is getting into the A- range!! Can you believe that? Here's the report card I would give him:

1. Political appointments and advisors: F-

- examples: John Holdren, Kevin Jennings, Anita Dunn, Van Jones

2. Creating jobs: F-

- examples: threatening to raise taxes on small businesses in the form of forcing them to provide healthcare for employees and Cap & Trade; unemployment rising to double digits, underemployment at record levels

3. Decreasing the deficit: F-

- "stimulus bill", the fact that Obama's budget will create $9 billion in budget deficits over the next decade (more debt than every year from 1789 to 2008 combined)

4. National security: F-

- closing Gitmo & bringing terrorists here, scrapping missile defense shield, no more waterboarding, cutting our high tech weapons days after N. Korea starts launching missiles left and right, cutting funds from a program that allows pilots to carry guns on board, releasing security memos about torture interrogation methods

5. Protecting human life: F-

- appointing one radical pro-choicer after another, signed an order allowing federal funds to be used on embryonic stem cell research, repealed "Mexico City policy", health care rationing

6. Foreign relations: F

- gives our allies bogus gifts, makes the US look weak to enemies, criticizing the US constantly to other nations. bowing before every leader you encounter, ignoring a corrupt Iranian election

7. Health Care: F-

- trillions of debt in order to have the best health care system in the world turned over to the same people who run the IRS and the post office

8. Containing Government Waste: F-

- "stimulus" bill, cash for clunkers, trillion dollar deficits annually for as far as the eye can see, Cap & Tax

9. Improving Public Education: F-

- in bed with teachers unions, cut a voucher program for poor black DC school children

10. Being a complete jackass: A+

Obama's Czar Pick Reaches New Low - And That's Saying Something!

Be prepared to be completely disgusted. Obama's "safe schools" czar, Kevin Jennings, is the founder of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). In 2000, GLSEN held a Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth which consisted of workshops aimed at 14-21 year olds and offered them lessons on . . . . let's just say very crude homosexual practices. The media got wind of it and there was an uproar. Kevin Jennings claimed to be surprised and said there would be clear guidelines in the future over what the conference was supposed to be about.

So the following year, did GLSEN clean up their act? NO!! Public funds were used for the event, which 450 students attended. I am not going to describe what happened at the event or what was given to the students or what kind of directions were given to the students, and let me tell you, I am not a prude. Click here if you want the gory details. Suffice it to say the conference was disgusting.

This was led by the man in charge of keeping our kids safe. Whose salary you and I are paying!!!

7 Stories Obama Doesn't Want Told

I use Yahoo all the time and it always irks me how pro--Obama their front page stories are. Also pro-global warming, anti-Bush, etc. Well not today! Imagine my joy when I opened yahoo and the main headline is 7 Stories Obama Doesn't Want Told. Check it out!

Also, here's a funny skit about Obama's love affair with his teleprompter.

David Hamilton? Is that the Best You Could Find, Obama?

Another week, another sneaky Saturday night vote by our representatives on a plan to destroy the American healthcare system. Another 2,000 page bill no one who is voting on it has read. Another provision to give Americans who refuse to buy health insurance jail time. Another provision that says that if you are a member of the government run plan, a portion of your premiums go to fund abortions. Sigh.

In other news, an Obama nominee to the 7th circuit court of appeals got confirmed - David Hamilton. I never heard of this guy until today unfortunately. Even more unfortunately for him, a GA senator (as well as a TN senator) voted to allow the vote on this guy to take place. He will be hearing from me after this email is typed.

About David Hamilton:

- he used to be a fund raiser for ACORN (need I say more?)
- he is radically pro-abortion. In Indiana, he kept an informed consent measure from being enforced, which prevented women from finding out about alternatives to and risks of abortion.
- he prevented the Indiana Speaker of the House of Representatives from permitting "sectarian" prayers to be offered during the official House proceedings. What's a sectarian prayer? I'm glad you asked. According to Hamilton, a "sectarian" prayer is one that uses the name of Christ. However, it is not a "sectarian" prayer if the name of Allah is used. This guy won't allow you to say Jesus in a prayer but will allow you to say Allah.

Click here and here to read more. Now, I'm off to call Saxby Chambliss's office to let him have it.

That's a Load of Bull$%&# Obama

Read the first two paragraphs of this Reuters story:

BEIJING, Nov 18 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama gave his sternest warning yet about the need to contain rising U.S. deficits, saying on Wednesday that if government debt were to pile up too much, it could lead to a double-dip recession.

With the U.S. unemployment rate at 10.2 percent, Obama told Fox News his administration faces a delicate balance of trying to boost the economy and spur job creation while putting the economy on a path toward long-term deficit reduction.

WHAT THE HECK? He is warning us about containing U.S. deficits? Who's run up the largest U.S. deficit ever seen in a mere 10 months? Who is going to put us another trillion dollars in the hole with this health care plan that no one gives a flying flip about right now? His administration is "trying to boost the economy and spur job creation while putting the economy on a path toward long-term deficit reduction"? Does anyone really believe he is trying to spur job creation? Does anyone really believe he is putting our economy on a path toward deficit reduction?

9/11 Attackers in NYC on Our Dime

Why is Obama allowing five 9/11 terrorists to come to the New York, less than 1,000 yards from where their mass murders were committed, to attend a US civilian trial? They will get all the same constitutional protections as American citizens!! What if some bleeding heart judge doesn't like the fact that they had some water splashed in their faces and throws the confessions out or some portions of the evidence out? Why is my tax money paying for this? What was wrong with keeping them at Guantanamo Bay?

As this article points out, there are HUGE problems with this scenario:

- There are discovery requirements placed on prosecutors. In a civilian trial of the bombers of the trade center in 1993, prosecutors were required to turn large amounts of sensitive intelligence information over to the defense. Those exact documents were later found in an al-Qaeda hideout!

- Khalid Sheikh Mohammed , the mastermind, was captured in Pakistan. The intelligence that led to that raid is not known by the general public, but man oh man would al-Qaeda like to know how he was captured. They could learn that at trial.

- A liberal leaning judge could toss out the whole case and send the animals home. These men should have been strung up by their toenails but instead they are going to clean up, put on fancy suits, and have a top notch defense team at our expense.

The article points out that perhaps Obama wants the case to fail. Does that sound crazy? A little, but he just approved new rules for military tribunals that make obtaining convictions there much more difficult or impossible in some cases. Under the new rules, a defendant must have access to classified information used against him, which may lead to fewer prosecutions being sought if the prosecution does not want to damage the source of the information.

Paying for Abortions

Wow - just saw this on Drudge report. Did you know that Speaker Pelosi's (aka Obama's) health care bill that will be voted on this weekend contains a provision that very explicitly says that each participant in the government option will have a minimum of $1 of his monthly premium set aside for abortions? So if my family is somehow forced off our private insurance and onto this plan, we will be paying $48 a year at a minimum for someone to do something that we consider murder?

In addition, the Health and Human Services Secretary is the one who will decide when abortion is allowed under the plan.

You're a Complete Amateur!

The website hotair.com is chock-full of conservative news and commentary, and they also have a hilarious feature called the "Obamateurism of the Day" which highlights what a complete amateur Obama is by showing something ridiculous he's done that day.

Today's was pretty surprising. Obama has a press conference to discuss the shooting at Fort Hood. An extremely serious matter, right? At the beginning of the speech, he says he wants to "give a shout out" to a Native American Congressional Medal of Honor winner. He then spends two full minutes talking about the Tribal Nations Conference. He then says he wanted to spend a lot more time talking about the challenges that lie ahead for Native Americans, but darn it there's been a shooting at Fort Hood. Which is the WHOLE reason everyone was watching.

Could he be any more un-Presidential? He gives a "shout out" to someone, then talks about a Tribal Nations conference, then complains that he has to talk about the Ft. Hood shooting? Somehow it doesn't surprise me that he's more concerned with Native Americans that with our men in uniform. Click here for the video and a transcript.

More $$ for Trial Lawyers!!

I'm sure you've heard that the House is set to vote on a 1,900 page health care bill this week.

It's going to destroy health care in America and will cost us $2.24 million for every word that's written in that 1,900 page bill. I've heard so many negative things about this bill - like states can opt out of participating in the bill, but not paying for it; that the bill requires 42 studies on a variety of medical issues be performed; that the word "tax" is used 214 times and the word "shall" is used 3,425 times - but here's a rather interesting tidbit I heard today.

In Section 2531, the bill establishes an incentive program for states to adopt alternatives to medical liability litigation. That's great, right? Medical malpractice suits are part of the reason health care costs so much. But wait - a state is not eligible for those payments if they limit trial attorneys' fees or impose a cap on damages.

Now wait a second, why would this bill disallow states to limit trial attorneys' fees in medical malpractice cases? That would help bring the cost of health care down, right? This is supposed to be a bill to help fix our health care system, right? Could it be because 95% of trial attorneys' political contributions go to Democrats?

A Hilarious Cartoon from 1948 - Very Appropriate Today

Another $13 Billion Borrowed. What's the Total Up To Now, Obama?

Some good news first - the Tea Party express is about to make its second tour through the country! I'll be there on November 9 and let me tell you, I am FIRED UP. See the detailed map for a location near you.

The bad news - Obama is going to spread more wealth around - $13 billion to be exact. He wants Congress to provide a one-time payment of $250 to help senior citizens weather the recession. The alleged reason is that this year is the first time in decades that seniors on social security haven't gotten a cost of living adjustment. The reason for this is that consumer prices have remained stagnant this year.

Questions for Obama: If the cost of living has stayed the same, why do they need extra money? Is this money being borrowed from China? Is the real reason you are doing this is because seniors are ticked that you are planning to make cuts from their Medicare to "give" everyone health insurance? Are you worried they will vote you and your cronies out since they are the one group that always shows up to vote? Is this going to be a regular ongoing payment? Why don't you just go ahead and resign now? Pretty please?

Peace Prize, Schmease Prize

What is there to say about Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize? To get a laugh, check out the Drudge Report's roundup of articles about what a joke that is. Oh, by the way, when do you think the voting occurred on the peace prize? Nine days after Obama took office. That's right, he was actually the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize nine days into his presidency, it just hadn't been announced yet.

Way to Sacrifice, Michelle!

I haven't been in the mood to write any hard hitting Obama-nations this week. Too depressing. The only good news has been the fact that Sarah Palin's biography is #1 on both Amazon and Barnes & Noble, despite the fact it won't be released until Novermber! Take THAT Sarah haters!

But here's an amusing one - did you know that traveling to Copenhagen on the taxpayer's dime with Barack and Oprah Winfrey to try to get the 2016 Olympics to be held in Chicago is a "sacrifice" for Michelle Obama? Oh really, Michelle? Your husband's economic policies have made many, many American families learn the meaning of the word sacrifice. And it doesn't involve a free luxury trip to Europe!

You're Not Getting My Daughters, Obama!

Another reason my daughters won't be attending government run indoctrination programs - look at these public school children chanting an Obama rap. I wonder if this is how Hitler got started. Yes, I compared Obama to Hitler, so sue me.

We Know You Think America Sucks, Obama. Now Quit Telling the Whole World.

Click here to read about Obama once again criticizing the US in front of an international audience. What's wrong with being patriotic? Why doesn't he love this country for the opportunities it's presented him? Where else could he have been born to a poor single mother and risen out of nowhere to become the most powerful man in the world at age 44? In 200 years this country came from nothing to produce the highest standard of living in the world. And we are supposed to be ashamed of our country?

Obama's Safe School Czar is a Druggie & Gay Agenda Pusher

Did you know we now have a "safe schools czar" who has advocated promoting homosexuality in schools? Officially his title will be Director of the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools. But wait!! In his 2007 autobiography he made four references to his own history of drug use!! Read this whole article about his sordid past and decide if you think he is the person for this position.

Round-Up of Health Care Obama-nations

Did anyone catch Obama on FIVE morning shows trying to sell his health care agenda? Nobody's buying what he's selling!

Here's a fun round-up of recent articles about his Obam-inable actions:

- first he argued with George Stephanopoulus when Steph. asked him about whether requiring people to get health insurance or be fined was a tax increase. Steph pointed out the definition of tax in the dictionary; Obama mocked him for that. Obama pointed out that everyone was required to get auto insurance and that wasn't a tax increase. (Stupid argument, only drivers are required to get insurance and only to protect others, under Obama's plan everyone will have to get insurance simply for existing). Click here.

- When confronted with ACORN's recent scandals and then the senate's vote to deny giving ACORN federal money, Obama played the idiot. He wasn't even aware ACORN was getting a lot of federal money! And he definitely did not commit to signing any bill cutting off federal ACORN money. Click here.

- Then comes the news that Obama is "open" to a a bill that would bailout newspapers. I'm sure that's completely unrelated to the story that the New York Times has given him TWO miles of coverage on the front page of its paper this year alone, virtually all of it favorable.

- Finally, this article amusingly points out that Obama wants his daughters left alone by the media when HE says so, but then uses a story of daughter Sasha's diagnosis of meningitis when she was a baby to sell his health care plan. Do you want them in the spotlight or not? And by the way, Obama and Michelle can't even agree on whether she had meningitis or not!

I Guess Obama WAS Lying About Illegal Aliens and Healthcare

Remember when Obama said his health care plan "would not cover those who are here illegally"? Kind of an odd way to say it instead of just saying "illegal aliens" but then again, he's the king of grandiose speeches. I think that's the only reason he got elected. Remember when Joe Wilson screamed "You lie!" about that?

Mr. Obama's current plan is to legalize the current illegal aliens to get them healthcare.

According to the Washington Times:
President Obama said this week that his health care plan won’t cover illegal immigrants, but argued that’s all the more reason to legalize them and ensure they eventually do get coverage.
He also staked out a position that anyone in the country legally should be covered - a major break with the 1996 welfare reform bill, which limited most federal public assistance programs only to citizens and longtime immigrants.

So he wants to have it both ways. Does this also mean he's lying when he says there will be a ban on abortion in this health care bill?

Climate Change & National Security

Obama just decided to give eastern Europe a big screw you in order to suck up to Russia by scrapping Bush's plans to build a missile defense shield. The replacement system he is implementing instead is "likely to allay some of Russia's concerns" according to Robert Gibbs. Instead of siding with our allies, Poland and the Czech Republic, Obama chose "setting back the gradual progress toward repairing relations with Russia". And besides, why would Europe need a missile defense shield anyway? Click here to read more.

Another doozy: the Obama administration just concluded that a cap and trade law would cost American taxpayers up to $200 billion a year, the equivalent of hiking personal income taxes by about 15 percent. This equals $1,761 a household. All to combat "climate change". Wait, I thought it was global warming, no it's global cooling, no wait, the real problem is climate change. Click here to read more.

Typical Government Programs

Two for today, both from my favorite blog, michellemalkin.com:

- The first shows how government entitlements are rarely temporary and never cost less than we are told up front - Remember that $8,000 home credit for new buyers passed last November? 40 percent of all home buyers this year will qualify for it (sure wish I could take $8,000 off my mortgage!). It's going to cost the taxpayers $15 billion, more than twice the amount projected when it was passed. Skeptics say most of those people would have bought a home anyway, and unless it's allowed to expire in November as planned, it will become one more entitlement that fails to die. Click here to read more.

- Under Obama's heatlth care plan, 45% of doctors would consider quitting, according to a new poll. 72% of doctors disagree with Obama's claim that the government can cover 47 million more people with better-quality care at lower cost. Click here to read more.

The "John Adams Project"

I just got this email from Bill O'Reilly. In it, he describes something called the "John Adams Project", which is a group of people involved with the ACLU who are sneaking around taking pictures of CIA agents who interrogated al-Qaeda suspects after 9/11. The group then gives the pictures to attorneys for the terrorists, hoping that one of the terrorists will claim that someone in the pictures tortured him.

O'Reilly says that only two newspapers have reported on this. I've never heard of it. Where's the outrage in the media? What does Obama say about it? NOTHING!! Oh, that's right, he's the one who wanted the "torture" investigated in the first place.

(On an unrelated note, didn't you just LOVE that Republican who shouted "that's a lie!" during Obama's speech? He was right, it was a lie and that whole speech was filled with lies and it's about time someone actually said it to his face. We are fighting for our healthcare system here people, it's not the time to play nice. And I am disgusted with the republicans who are scolding him).

Labor Unions at Their Finest - Thanks Obama!

What a sad day - our country's first 9/11 since George Bush. When I heard on TV about something the President and his wife were doing to commemorate Sept. 11, I automatically thought of George and Laura. Then the horror sunk in.

From my favorite blog, michellemalkin.com (I also read on this blog that one of my favorite reporters, John Stossel, is moving to Fox News!!):

Many rail attacks by terrorists have occurred, in New Delhi, Mumbai, Chechnya, Madrid, and London. So Amtrak has an Office of Security Strategy and Special Operations (OSSO), full of experts in terrorist-butt-kicking. Each member underwent special training in rail security, marksmanship, etc. OSSO works with federal, state, and local authorities to detect and defend against terrorist attacks on railways. OSSO has also provided security for Bush, the Pope, the Democrat and Republican conventions, etc.

So what's this kick-a** group doing now? The east and west coast teams have not worked at counterterrorism since the summer. This occurred after the departure of an Amtrak VP and an Amtrak general inspector. The VP was instrumental in creating OSSO's predecessor. The Inspector unexpectedly "retired" and the VP was fired. Why?

A union that represents the Amtrak Police Dept. has been peeved that OSSO isn't unionized since it was formed. Biden is very tight with that union. OSSO is now magically under the control of the APD, which is unionized. OSSO's stimulus money has gone to the APD. The APD officers have repeatedly shown they don't understand counterterrorism.

Another example of Obama's chums, the labor unions, at work. Click here for the full story.

Land of the Czars

Remember those czars Obama keeps appointing? They get sweet salaries and perks courtesy of us, are hand chosen by Obama and seem to be accountable to no one but him and are not subject to any kind of Senate confirmation. He just picks them and gives them whichever duties he se Here's a list of them courtesy of Politicoc.com. The titles are laughable. Why do we need an AIDS czar? Why do we need a Domestic Violence czar?

Stay Out of Our Schools Obama

Yet another reason my daughters won't be attending government-run indoctrination programs - I mean schools:

Obama is planning to brainwash oops I mean address all schoolchildren on September 8. Teachers' manuals have been distributed with materials to be used to discuss the brainwashing session with questions students are supposed to ask themselves like:

What do you think the President wants us to do?

Does the speech make you want to do anything?

Are we able to do what President Obama is asking of us?

Sounds like students are supposed to race out and organize their communities according to Obama's vision. Can you imagine the outrage if Bush pulled this stuff? Click here to read more about the brainwashing. The article points out that public schools have recently used children as lobbyists for censuses, illegal immigration, anti-war activism and gay marriage.

You're a Hypocrite, Mr. Obama

Great news! Americans are waking up! Rasmussen tracking has Obama's approval rating at a shockingly low 45% today.

Here's something funny to watch: a video of Obama scolding a political opponent for not having read a bill before debating it.

HILARIOUS!!!!! Is this the same man who hasn't read the health care bill and basically refused to let congress read the stimulus bill?

A Joke

A man walked into a very high-tech bar. As he sat down on a stool he noticed that the bartender was a robot. The robot clicked to attention and asked, "Sir, what will you have?"
The man thought a moment then replied, "A martini please." The robot clicked a couple of times and mixed the best martini the man had ever had.
The robot then asked, "Sir, what is your IQ?"
The man answered "Oh, about 164."
The robot then proceeded to discuss the 'theory of relativity', 'inter-steller space travel', the latest medical breakthroughs,
etc. The man was most impressed. He left the bar but thought he would try a different tact..
He returned and took a seat. Again the robot clicked and asked what he would have? "A Martini please." Again it was superb. The robot again asked "what is your IQ, sir?"
This time the man answered, "Oh about 100".
So the robot started discussing Nascar racing, the latest basketball scores, and what to expect the Dodgers to do this weekend.
The guy had to try it one more time. So he left, returned and took a stool.... Again a martini, and the question, "What is your IQ?"
This time the man drawled out, "Uh...... bout 50".
The robot clicked, then leaned close and very slowly asked, "Are you people still happy with Obama?"

Now Let's Send MORE Money to New Orleans!!

What's a top priority of Obama's administration? Rebuilding New Orleans. That's what he said in a recent interview. How much of my $$ has already gone there? How many private donations have gone there?

We Can't Have Americans Acting Patriotic on 9/11!!

Guess what Obama's planning to do to September 11? Allow us to remember the 3,000 people murdered by Muslim extremists? Celebrate our patriotism perhaps? NOPE! He signed a law in April naming Sept. 11 as a "National Day of Service". That doesn't sound too bad does it?

On Aug. 11 a White House sponsored teleconference took place that was run by the Hip Hop Caucus. The group in on the teleconference plans to turn a "day of fear" that helps Republicans into a day of activism called the National Day of Service that helps the left. The group in on the teleconference included such unsavory characters as ACORN, AFL-CIO, Apollo Alliance, Community Action Partnership, Deep South Center for Environmental Justice, 80 Million Strong for Young American Jobs, Friends of the Earth, Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, Mobilize.org, National Black Police Association, National Coalition on Black Civic Participation, National Council of Negro Women, National Wildlife Federation, RainbowPUSH Coalition, Urban League, and Young Democrats of America.

This group is launching a PR campaign to turn Sept. 11 from a day of reflection and remembrance to a day of activism, food banks, and community gardens. This group views 9/11 as a "Republican day" b/c of its patriotism. What kind of "service" do you think these groups will be promoting? I think 9/11 should be the day we think about whether 9/11 would have happened if we allowed racial profiling. But I guess instead I'll go plant a garden and try to decrease my carbon footprint. Click here to read more about this.

I'm Shocked! NOT!

A real shocker! The White House is now predicting bigger deficits and bigger debt! Now the CBO is predicting a $9 trillion deficit from 2009-2019, which is $2 trillion more than the Obama administration predicted in May. The debt is supposed to double by 2019 and consume three-quarters of the national economy.

Hilarious!

Cash for Appliances? Way to Go Obam-inable One.

Since the horrible Cash for Clunkers program has ended, now it's time for another waste of taxpayer dollars - consumers are getting cash towards buying energy efficient appliances. This is part of the spend-ulus bill signed into law by Obama. We are spending $300 million on this. Click here to read more.

That Cash for Clunkers was a disaster. What a stupid stupid waste of $$. What idiot decided it was a good idea to take perfectly good cars, destroy them, and give the owner $4,500 of MY money towards a new car? Now let's give money for people so they can get new kitchen appliances. What's next? Cash for Botox? Cash for a big screen TV? Cash for cell phones?

I Wish I Had Appreciated You When You Were Here, Reagan!

Read this about how Obama's "pay czar" is set to review the compensation packages of seven companies that received bailout $$, including AIG and GM.

Then listen here to Ronald Reagan in 1961 warning about the government getting involved in private companies (at the very beginning, later on it's all about the evils of socialized medicine and it is excellent).

It makes me want to go out and buy this t-shirt.

Fascinating Perspective on the Obaminable One

I'm feeling lazy today so here's a fascinating article on Obama - I love it except for the small diss of Sarah Palin.

Krauthammer is on Fox News. He is an M.D. and he is paralyzed from the neck down. Be forewarned on what is happening. A friend went to hear Charles Krauthammer. He listened with 25 others in closed room. What he says here, is NOT 2nd-hand, but 1st. You would do well to read and pass this along to EVERYBODY who loves our country. This is VERY serious for the direction of our country. The ramifications are staggering for us and our children.

Last Monday was a profound evening, hearing Dr. Charles Krauthammer speak to the Center for the American Experiment. He is brilliant intellectual, seasoned and articulate. He is forthright and careful in his analysis, and never resorts to emotions or personal insults. He is NOT a fear monger nor an extremist in his comments and views. He is a fiscal conservative, and has a Pulitzer Prize for writing. He is a frequent contributor to Fox News and writes weekly for the Washington Post. The entire room was held spellbound during his talk. I have shared this with many of you and several have asked me to summarize his comments, as we are living in uncharted waters economically and internationally.

Even 2 Dems at my table agreed with everything he said! If you feel like forwarding this to those who are open minded and have not drunk the Kool-Aid, feel free. Summary of his comments:

1. Mr. Obama is a very intellectual, charming individual. He is not to be underestimated. He is a cool customer who doesn't show his emotions. It's very hard to know what's behind the mask. Taking down the Clinton dynasty from a political neophyte was an amazing accomplishment. The Clintons still do not understand what hit them. Obama was in the perfect place at the perfect time.

2. Obama has political skills comparable to Reagan and Clinton. He has a way of making you think he's on your side, agreeing with your position, while doing the opposite. Pay no attention to what he SAYS; rather, watch what he DOES!

3. Obama has a ruthless quest for power. He did not come to Washington to make something out of himself, but rather to change everything, including dismantling capitalism. He can't be straightforward on his ambitions, as the public would not go along. He has a heavy hand, and wants to level the playing field with income redistribution and punishment to the achievers of society. He would like to model the USA to Great Britain or Canada
.

4. His three main goals are to control ENERGY, PUBLIC EDUCATION, AND NATIONAL HEALTH CARE by the Federal government. He doesn't care about the auto or financial services industries, but got them as an early bonus. The cap and trade will add costs to everything and stifle growth. Paying for FREE college education is his goal. Most scary is his healthcare program, because if you make it FREE and add 46,000,000 people to a Medicare-type single-payer system, the costs will go through the roof. The only way to control costs is with massive RATIONING of services, like in Canada. God forbid.

5. He has surrounded himself with mostly far-left academic types.. No one around him has ever even run a candy store. But they are going to try and run the auto, financial, banking and other industries. This obviously can't work in the long run. Obama is not a socialist; rather he's a far-left secular progressive bent on nothing short of revolution. He ran as a moderate, but will govern from the hard left. Again, watch what he does, not what he says.

6. Obama doesn't really see himself as President of the United States , but more as a ruler over the world. He sees himself above it all, trying to orchestrate and coordinate various countries and their agendas. He sees moral equivalency in all cultures. His apology tour in Germany and England was a prime example of how he sees America, as an imperialist nation that has been arrogant, rather than a great noble nation that has at times made errors. This is the first President ever who has chastised our allies and appeased our enemies!

7. He is now handing out goodies. He hopes that the bill (and pain) will not come due until after he is re-elected in 2012. He would like to blame all problems on Bush from the past, and hopefully his successor in the future. He has a huge ego, and Mr. Krauthammer believes he is a narcissist.

8. Republicans are in the wilderness for a while, but will emerge strong. We're pining for another Reagan, but there will never be another like him. Krauthammer believes Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty and Bobby Jindahl (except for his terrible speech in February) are the future of the party. Newt Gingrich is brilliant, but has baggage. Sarah Palin is sincere and intelligent, but needs to really be seriously boning up on facts and info if she is to be a serious candidate in the future. We need to return to the party of lower taxes, smaller government, personal responsibility, strong national defense, and state's rights.

9. The current level of spending is irresponsible and outrageous. We are spending trillions that we don't have. This could lead to hyper-inflation, depression or worse. No country has ever spent themselves into prosperity. The media is giving Obama, Reid and Pelosi a pass because they love their agenda. But eventually the bill will come due and people will realize the huge bail outs didn't work, nor will the stimulus package. These were trillion-dollar payoffs to Obama's allies, unions and the Congress to placate the left, so he can get support for #4 above.

10. The election was over in mid-September when Lehman brothers failed, fear and panic swept in, we had an unpopular President, and the war was grinding on indefinitely without a clear outcome. The people are in pain, and the mantra of change caused people to act emotionally. Any Dem would have won this election; it was surprising it was as close as it was.

11. In 2012, if the unemployment rate is over 10%, Republicans will be swept back into power. If it's under 8%, the Dems continue to roll. If it's between 8-10%, it will be a dogfight. It will all be about the economy. I hope this gets you really thinking about what's happening in Washington and Congress. There is a left-wing revolution going on, according to Krauthammer, and he encourages us to keep the faith and join the loyal resistance. The work will be hard, but we're right on most issues and can reclaim our country, before it's far too late.

Who's Been Planting Now Obama?

On my way home from an errand today I heard an analyst who had read it three times telling about the hidden goodies in the House's health care bill. Stuff I hadn't heard. Stuff that made my blood boil. I will try to put together a list by tomorrow.

If you listen to one-tenth as much conservative talk radio as I do you will have already heard about this but just in case you haven't: There was an adorable 11 year old girl at Obama's town hall meeting who read a question off of a card about those mean signs that she saw people outside the town hall meeting holding. If you missed it you can watch it here. Turns out that little girl's mother is a huge supporter of Obama's who has previously met the Obama ladies and whose law firm has given him thousands of dollars. Click here to read more.

I find it extremely amusing that Obama and his administration have called legitimate health care protestors "plants" from the right wing, accused them of carrying swastikas and said they are not ordinary concerned citizens while THEY are caught red handed using children to read planted questions at a completely phony health care town hall meeting. Keep it up, Obama! Can't wait until 2012.

Obama's Phony Town Hall Meeting

Did anyone watch Obama's "town hall meeting" today? Not at all choreographed in the slightest. The crowd was shouting "yes we can" when he finished and cheered when he said that the stimulus is working. (That's funny, I thought unemployment has continued to rise). He could barely start spewing his lies in the first place b/c the applause was so loud when he showed up.

How stupid do you think we are Obama? Do you think we haven't seen the non-choreographed town halls popping up across the country with angry citizens demanding to know what will happen to their elderly and disabled loved ones under his plan? (I considered going to a town hall meeting for a democrat rep in Atlanta last night to watch the carnage but I had something else to do. I'm glad I didn't go b/c I heard someone who went say that when someone had the nerve to ask the rep if this plan was constitutional he was escorted out! How's that for free speech?)

During the town hall Obama said he did not support a single payer healthcare system. That's a LIE!!

Another lie: if Americans are happy with their current insurance plan, they can keep it under his plan. I don't know what plan he's referring to b/c in the house's health care bill which you can read by clicking here, if you will scroll to around pages 15-17, it doesn't read to me like I can keep my current health insurance. At least not if I ever change employers.

Another interesting tidbit - Rahm Emanuel, Obama's chief of staff, has a brother who is a leading proponent of state assisted suicide. Lovely. Click here to read about that.

Obama's Making Lists and Taking Names

Did you know that the White House's blog on Wednesday asked for supporters to email anything on the web about health insurance reform that "seems fishy"? It should be emailed to flag@whitehouse.gov. How about emailing every single thing Obama says about health care to flag@whitehouse.gov? Everything I've heard out of his mouth about it's been an absolute lie! (The White House web posting isn't there anymore. I checked the White House blog even though being there made me sick).

The blog read: "There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there. Since we can't keep track of all of them here at the White House, we're asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov."

And no, of course the White House isn't keeping an enemies list. Of course they don't retaliate against their opponents - HA! "We want to be sure people have the facts about health insurance reform that will lower costs, protect consumers from insurance regulations that deny them coverage and assure quality and affordable health care for all Americans," said Adam Abrams, a White House spokesman. He said no lists or sources of the information would be compiled.

I'm Not Paying for Someone Else's Abortion!

I knew there was a reason (besides crappy health care and more taxes) that I opposed government health care - according to this article, abortions will be covered under the government's plan!!

Raising My Taxes to Pay for Obama-care

So let me get this straight:

According to this article, in exchange for the privilege of being forced out of my excellent private health insurance which I love and being forced onto a government health care plan, my taxes are going to go up? And this is all because Washington DC thinks it's not fair that some people don't have health insurance? Even though many of those without health insurance don't have it because they choose not to have it, not because they can't afford it? Even though there is no big outcry from the American people to provide us with free medical treatment and in fact polls show the majority of Americans don't want it?

You're Not the Boss of Me Obama! You Weren't Even Born Here!

Is anyone planning on watching Obama's press conference tonight where he'll try to sell Obama-care? I'll probably skip it and watch Hannity's coverage afterwards. Or I might watch it and belly laugh over how many outright lies he tells.

Here's a more fun topic: Obama's birthplace.

Joke: What do God and Obama have in common?
Answer: Neither of them has a birth certificate (courtesy of Rush Limbaugh).

When I first heard that Obama was rumored to have been born in Africa, I thought it was a rumor planted by people who are even more right wing than I am. After all, doesn't a person have to prove he's over 35 and was born in the US to be considered for president? Doesn't that darn little document called the Constitution require it?

After six months of Obama, being in office, I have realized that he doesn't let the Constitution stand in the way of anything he wants to do. Is it Constitutional for him to appoint czars left and right without Senate confirmation and give them broad sweeping powers? Is it constitutional for him to take over the auto companies? Is it constitutional for him to tell private companies what they can pay their employees? Is it constitutional for him to rewrite bankruptcy laws? Who cares if no one calls him on it or makes him stop? Do you think he would let the fact he was born in Africa stand in his way if he wanted to be president?

So I'm giving this place of birth thing some more thought. Here's an excellent article outlining some facts about his online "birth certificate" that was posted. Some things to chew on:

1. Obama's Kenyan grandmother claims he was born in Kenya.

2. He has spent lots of $$ fighting lawsuits asking for proof that he's a natural born citizen.

3. The "Certification of Live Birth" that his campaign issued is very different from an actual birth certificate that would have been issued in Hawaii in 1963. In the article I mentioned, you can watch how Dr. Ron Polarik, who has a PhD in instructional media, and specializes in computer technology such as printers, scanners, etc., has examined the online birth certificate and believes it's a forgery.

4. People who are not natural born citizens can get a "certification of live birth" without having been born in the U.S. The long form birth certificate is what proves the actual live birth in Hawaii.

5. He won't release any information on which hospital he was born in and which doctor delivered him.

If we get Obama-care and if I still have two nickels to rub together after he's robbed me blind, I will file a federal lawsuit claiming he doesn't have the power to force me to accept government health care b/c he's not even eligible to be president. I will be happy to name any of my Obama-nation subscribers as co-plaintiffs if you wish.

Obama-care

There's a lot I could say about Obama's health care plan, but Fox News is hammering it right and left so I won't bother. It's completely ridiculous for him to push to overhaul the entire US medical system by August. The good thing is I think Americans are finally waking up.

One radio talk show host I listen to pointed out this morning that there is no huge outcry from the American people that we must all have guaranteed access to coverage. In fact, polls show that the majority of Americans are happy with their care.

This is a funny article. Obama has praised the Mayo Clinic repeatedly in the past for its excellent care and low costs. Do you think the Mayo clinic has reciprocated? NO!! The Mayo clinic issued a statement totally bashing Obama-care. It says Obama-care will create higher cost, lower quality healthcare. It goes on to say the proposals are not patient focused or results oriented, and the losers will be American citizens.

Obama's INSANE Science "Czar"

Obama's been appointing "czars" right and left. Czars that aren't subject to Senate confirmation, that he and he alone chooses, he makes up the title and gives each czar new and powerful responsibilities. I will talk more about my feelings about all these ridiculous "czars" in a future email.

Right now, I want to focus on his new "czar" of science, John Holdren. In 1977 he co-authored a book called "Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment". In the book he envisioned a future in which:

- women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not;

- the population could be forced to be sterilized due to drugs put into the nation's drinking water (which is ok as long as it doesn't harm livestock according to Holdren);

- people who contribute to "social deterioration" could be compelled to have abortions or get sterilized;

- single mothers and teen mothers could have their babies seized against their will and given to couples to raise;

- the government could tell people how many kids to have (the book recommends sterilizing women instead of men, because although more difficult than sterilizing men, it would be easier to implement than sterilizing men).

No, I am not making this up. In addition, Holdren has never renounced these views and until quite recently continued writing papers on similar topics. Click here to read excerpts of the book.
Have you heard anyone in the media protesting this lunatic espousing his crazy views on our dime? No, they are too busy fussing b/c the doctor appointed to lead the National Institute of Health, Dr. Francis Collins, is a Christian and wrote a book entitled "The Language of God". Click here to read more about the two appointments.

Obama Hates Christianity

I hadn't heard about this before but O'Reilly had it on his show last night.

The God and Country Family Festival in Nampa, Idaho, has had an Air Force flyover for its patriotic festival every year for the past 42 years. This year, the Air Force turned down the flyover request because the festival was too focused on religion.

According to an official, the request was denied by the Air Force, and Obama didn't weigh in directly. Apparently for he past 42 years, despite the name "God and Country Festival", the Air Force wasn't aware of the festival's focus on Christianity. The Air Force suddenly became aware after the US elected a President who is an atheist and despises all things Christian. Click here to read more.

I Hate the Cap and Trade Bill, Part 2

North Korea launched four more missiles on July 4 as promised, bringing the total to seven. Grow a pair Obama.

I've been doing some more reading about the cap and tax bill. Some goodies (and click here to read more):

1. 85% of the carbon permits allowed will be given to utility companies, oil refineries, and other politically connected businesses.

2. Wall Street investment bankers who donated substantial sums of $$ will get to sell carbon permits. Hmmm.

3. Any government revenue created under this plan (i.e., money stolen from taxpayers) will go to projects such as "reducing deforestation in developing countries experiencing deforestation, including preparing developing countries to participate in international markets for international offset credits for reduced emissions from deforestation." So OUR money will be given to some guy in China so he will plant some trees? I don't think so!!!

4. Any evil carbons you emit can be excused if you do some offsetting. So do what you want as far as polluting, then do some offsetting. How do you do the offsetting you ask? By "improved manure management,” “reduced tillage/no-tillage,” or “afforestation of marginal farmlands.”

5. Projects receiving money under this bill will be required to use union-wage rules for its employees, making it hard for non-union employers to compete.

6. Utilities will be required to get 20% of their power from renewable energy sources (sun, wind, etc.) by 2020. These are very expensive sources of energy and don't work well in all parts of the country. Who will be paying for that? Me, everytime I flip a switch.

7. There will be $1 billion annually directed to the new Carbon Storage Research Corporation. Who will pay for that? Again, me.

8. Every single type of light fixture you can imagine is regulated under this bill. Get out of my living room Obama and let me use whatever type of lightbulb I damn well please!!!

9. The bill also covers appliances, including washers, dryers, TVs, showerheads, faucets and more. Now Obama's in my bathroom!

10. The EPA will be authorized to establish environmental standards for homes. Yes, you could be "greening" your home soon courtesy of the federal government. This applies to commercial buildings as well.

11. The EPA is also authorized to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles too. In addition to that $18 I spend to check my emissions every year to meet Georgia's requirements, will I soon be paying to meet federal requirements as well?

12. States aren't allowed to create their own greenhouse gas programs under this bill.

13. Utility companies are ordered in the bill to start preparing for deployment of electrical charging stations along roadways, in parking garages, and at gas stations, as well as “such other elements as the State determines necessary to support plug-in electric drive vehicles.” In addition, the secretary of energy is required to establish a large-scale vehicle electrification program and to provide “such sums as may be necessary” for the manufacture of plug-in electric-drive vehicles, including another $25 billion for “advanced technology vehicle” loans.

14. The secretary of energy is allowed to order that each car manufacturer's fleet be comprised of a minimum percentage of vehicles that run on biodiesel or ethanol.

15. College administrators will be given billions for "Clean Energy Innovation Centers". HA!

16. The Bill "authorizes the Secretary [of Energy] to make grants to community development organizations to provide financing to businesses and projects that improve energy efficiency.” Hmmmm, what is a community development organization that Obama's connected with? Could it be ACORN????

17. Don't forget the welfare checks that will be distributed each month under the bill.

These are 17 of the 50 most absurd provisions contained in the cap and trade bill that are listed in the article I referenced above. What other gems are hidden in there?

I Hate the Cap and Trade Bill

Remember that cap and trade bill Obama is attempting to shove down the US Senate's throat?

One of my radio commentators is actually attempting to read the thing. He found three little hidden gems in the 1200+ page document.

1. Singles making less than $17,000 a year and families of 4 making less than $33,000 a year will get "energy payments" from the government to offset the cost of this monster. Who's going to pay for that? Let me guess, those of us making more than that.

2. The Earned Income Tax Credit will double for those with no dependents.

3. Administrators of Medicare and Social Security will be able to tap into general revenues of the U.S. Government, if it is determined that the Cap and Trade bill has resulted in a reduction of revenues going into those two trust funds. In other words, if there are job losses from this bill (and you know there will be), the bigwigs at Medicare and SS can demand the government give them money that they didn't get because unemployed people aren't paying into Medicare and SS.

No Dissent Allowed Says Obama!

Alan Carlin, a scientist who has been with the EPA for 35 years, issued a report directly contradicting the science of man-made global warming.

His report reads “We have become increasingly concerned that EPA and many other agencies and countries have paid too little attention to the science of global warming. EPA and others have tended to accept the findings reached by outside groups…as being correct without a careful and critical examination of their conclusions and documentation.”

On March 12, his boss forbade him from having any communication with anyone outside his office about his study. In a later email, his boss stated “The time for such discussion of fundamental issues has passed for this round. The administrator and the administration has decided to move forward on endangerment, and your comments do not help the legal or policy case for this decision… I can only see one impact of your comments given where we are in the process, and that would be a very negative impact on our office.” In other words, Obama says shut up or else he'll have problems with his cap and tax bill, and the EPA will get a spanking from Obama.

Where's the transparency Obama? Click here to read more, or click here to read the emails, or if you're really bored, you can read the report here.

Tea Party Alert

This isn't really an Obama-nation, I just wanted to alert you to the fact that there are many more tea party protests planned for July 4. Unfortunately I won't be able to attend since we'll be out of town. The website for the next round of protests is teapartypatriots.org. I wish I could go, I loved being surrounded with so many like-minded Americans!!

Cap and Tax Lies and the Liars Who Tell Them

As you've probably already heard, yesterday the House passed the "cap and trade" bill, also known as the "cap and tax" bill. This bill was 1,200 pages long, probably was read by virtually none of the congressmen who passed it, and is a complete piece of #$%^. It seeks to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions by EIGHTY THREE percent by the middle of the century. It affects none of the real polluters out there (are you listening China and India) but is expected to add around $1,600 (by some estimations) to each US family's expenses annually in the form of higher energy costs and higher costs for everything that's manufactured b/c of the ridiculous burden this bill places on manufacturers.

One the most ridiculous parts of the bill is the fact that that slobbering idiot Barney Frank put a "placeholder" in the bill that apparently will deal with regulations of financial derivatives market associated with reducing carbon emissions. Frank says he is confident a “good system will be in place.” Meaning we are supposed to believe they will come up with something intelligent and insert it where the "placeholder" is. Wait a second, wasn't he the guy who forced banks to make bad loans, leading to the "housing crisis", leading to our current economic state?

In addition, this bill is going to increase costs on our domestic oil by requiring domestic oil producers to pay for carbon dioxide released from their plants. Foreign oil won't have those carbon costs. Wait a second, didn't Obama want to decrease our reliance on foreign oil? Do you think this will help us compete?

Eight horrible Republicans voted for this thing. One proud moment for me was when my congressman, Tom Price, whom I correspond with regularly, stood up and said he wanted a moment of silence for all of those whose jobs will be killed under this bill. He was denied, of course.

Now, Obama is urging the Senate to pass it, saying it will cost each American only the cost of a "postage stamp" per day, and will help us to invest in clean energy. First of all, if I were to believe the lying Obama, I would still have to cough up an extra $1.64 for my family each and every day. I don't want to give DC another stinking PENNY. Second, that completely disregards the fact that this bill is going to force manufacturing jobs overseas. There is no way around that. Since my husband is an engineer for manufacturing plants, this could be bad news. Obama's response? "In California alone, 3,000 people will be employed to build a new solar plant that will create 1,000 permanent jobs." YEAH, RIGHT, just like all those stimulus jobs were going to save us. Just like the unemployment rate was going to drop, not skyrocket. I don't believe one single thing that comes out of that lying liar's mouth.

I heard some more shocking things about this bill (for example, we will be paying Brazil not to cut down trees) but I haven't had time to compile a list. It will come later.

CALL YOUR SENATORS AND TELL THEM IF THEY SIGN THIS, THEY ARE FIRED.

Obama: "No Smoking on My Watch"

I just saw the Obam-inable one on Fox News, proud as a peacock that he was getting ready to sign an anti-smoking bill into law. He was grinning and introducing everyone from members of the CDC to some kids in an anti-smoking group. (Does anyone else find it ironic that a president who himself smokes is passing an anti-smoking law?)

The bill is extensive, and will give the FDA new powers over the tobacco industry. Cigarette cartons will now have to be covered in large graphic warnings. Nicotine levels in cigarettes must be reduced. Cigarettes can't be labeled "light" or "low tar".

No one seems to mind this because it involves the evil tobacco industry. But I mind it! More regulations, a bigger government, more bureaucrats, more expensive cigarettes which means that people who buy them will have less money to spend on other things (like paying me to do an estate plan for them). It's hilarious that he thinks that the government requiring large warnings on cigarette cartons is going to do any good - everyone knows now that smoking is bad for you!!

Why is he worrying about this right now? Has he checked out the state of the economy lately? Has he been listening to Kim Jong Crazypants's warnings about the US interfering with his missile launch he has planned for July 4? Has he seen the people dying in Iran to protest a corrupt election? (Oh, that's right, he used to work for ACORN and he's a Chicago politician, he has no problem with corrupt elections). Oh well, only 1,308 days to go.

Change You Can Believe In

One of my favorite talk show hosts made a list of the change Obama has brought to this country less than 6 months in:

- Trillions added to our national debt.
- American is having trouble getting other countries to buy American debt
- Obama virtually ignores a corrupt election in Iran. We leave it to French President Sarkozy to speak out for the Iranian people wanting a free election.
- GM and Citigroup now government operations. More to come.
- The government (Obama) gets to set executive compensation levels.
- Obama seeking the ability to seize private businesses.
- Firing inspector generals who uncover corruption involving Obama buddies.
- Overturning established law to favor unions over secured creditors in GM's bankruptcy.
- Obama wants to reduce tax deductions for charitable deductions. Government doesn't like competition.
- The Washington DC voucher system, with a great record of success, slated for elimination while Obama's kids go to private school.
- Obama says 8% unemployment max. We're nearing 10%
- Obama moves to raise taxes on the small businesses that create the jobs.
- North Korea threatening to send a missile toward Hawaii
- While NK is lobbing missiles, Obama cuts spending in missile defense systems.

Change we can believe in?

After Gitmo, Live in Paradise on Our Dime

Oh my goodness. If you click on nothing else today, you must read this story. The most outrageous thing I've seen in a long time, although with Obama at the helm I seem to be reading something like this at least once a week.

Four former terror suspects from China, who were being held at Guantanamo Bay prison, are now on a paid permanent vacation in Bermuda at our expense. Just look at them! Swimming in the ocean, fishing, eating ice cream and dreaming of opening their own restaurant and starting families. They are also planning on learning to drive, scuba dive and bowl. All on our dime.

Obama-care? NO THANKS!

Obama wouldn't recognize the truth if it bit him in the butt. His latest rounds of lies today were spewed at an American Medical Association meeting, where he was trying to convince doctors that his healthcare plan isn't actually socialized medicine and the country will come to an end if we don't adopt it. The good news? He was booed by doctors. What's wrong with you doctors? You don't want to become government bureaucrats after spending 25 years of working your butts off to become doctors?

The funniest part of his speech? After warning of all the doom and gloom that would be America if the government doesn't take over health care, he had the audacity to state that "we know there are those who will try to scuttle" the program no matter what. He said that "because these fear tactics have worked, things have kept getting worse." He says that opponents of his healthcare plan use "fear tactics"? Those in glass houses should not throw stones. That's all he does is try to scare us into doing what he wants. Remember what he said would happen if we didn't pass his precious spendulus bill asap? Well all of that and worse has happened.

The funniest part of this whole plan? He claims he has now found the $$ to pay for his socialized medicine plans. He claims to have found $313 billion in savings to pay for it. Wait, I thought this was going to cost us a trillion. And also, last I checked, he had spent $1 trillion on his stimulus package and gave us a $1 trillion deficit for this year. So the way I see it, he needs to take care of paying that off before mysteriously "finding money" for his health care plan.

The Spend-ulus Package is a Complete Failure

Also, Obama-nation reader Rose pointed out that Obama promised to deliver more than 600,000 jobs this summer with his $787 billion stimulus package (experts put the actual cost at more than $1 trillion, but we'll give him the benefit of the doubt). That equals out to about $1.3 million in borrowed funds per job, not to mention the interest that's racking up daily.

Obama Says No More "Climate Altering Gases" Allowed!

Looks like Obama is up to some more of his old tricks again, in the form of wealth redistribution from the rich to the poor. Although this plan is currently in Congress and hasn't been signed by the chosen one, it has the stink of Obama all over it.

Check out this - there is a plan underway to auction off permits to companies that produce "climate altering gases". The money from those permits will be given to low income consumers to help pay for higher energy bills, among other things.

There are SO many things wrong with this, where do I start: first of all, there is no consensus in the scientific community that man made global warming (or "climate change") is even occurring. So why are we spending $$ we don't have to combat something scientists can't even agree is occurring? Second, who is even going to be paying for these permits? Companies, who are going to pass those costs onto everyone. What about the higher energy bills of middle income and high income Americans - we're going to be tagged with an extra $100 to $1,600 a year because of this, and you can bet those estimates are on the low end. How many jobs are going to be lost because companies can't or don't want to deal with these regulations? How much is this massive regulation going to cost us in the form of salaries and perks for the bureaucrats who are going to enforce it? I could go on and on, but you get the point.

Obama's Pay "Czar" and More Money We Don't Have

A couple of new things to get your blood boiling before the weekend:

- the White House is going to appoint a "pay czar" to regulate the pay of employees of companies receiving bailout funds. Or to insure that high level employees that are the brains behind the company leave in favor of overseas companies that don't regulate their employees' pay. Right now the White House just wants to regulate the pay of companies receiving federal money and they can make a decent argument for why they need to do that. But how long until they try to regulate your pay? Sound ludicrous? The White House is taking over companies right and left. They are dying to get their hands on healthcare. How long before they tell us what doctors and nurses can make? They are handing out money to states right and left. How long will it be before they tell us what state employees can make? At the rate they are going, I fear that no one is safe.

- Back in April I told you that Obama wants to lend $100+ Billion to the International Monetary Fund. Now Democrats are trying to make him happy by sticking a multi-billion loan to the IMF onto a war supplemental bill that's supposed to be voted on next week. Disgusting. Click here to read more.

Obama Hearts Muslims and Illegals, Hates Used Cars

Another week, more slacking on my Obama-nations of the day. So here are several that should keep you mad enough for the next week or so:

1. Obama took a trip to the middle east and began, once again, telling the world how much Muslims rock. He seems to have completely forgotten that it was radical Muslims who have committed almost every single act of terrorism against this country. Yes, I recognize a difference between mainstream Muslims and radical Muslims, but I don't think we need to constantly tell them how great they are either. This is also the same guy who said while on the campaign trail that "we are no longer a Christian nation". He had the nerve to say on French TV that the US is "one of the largest Muslim nations". In fact, we have only 2.3 million muslims (less than 1% of the population, although other sources put the number higher) and we are in fact 38th in the world in terms of our muslim population.

In addition, he seems to have no problem emphasizing his Muslim roots now, although no one was allowed to mention them on the campaign trail or else they were called racist or worse. Here's a fascinating article about the hypocrisy by an ABC news guy.

Believe it or not, I actually defended him twice while he was campaigning to two people who told me they weren't voting for him b/c he was Muslim. I won't be making that mistake again; I'm starting to think they were right.

2. Obama wants to call on Congress to pass "fleet modernization legislation" that would give consumers who "turn in used cars" a credit to buy "cleaner, more fuel efficient cars". This article makes the point that that could seriously hurt the used car industry, not to mention the fact that the US is BROKE. Where does Obama think the money to do this is coming from? That's right, my children's grandchildren.

3. More close to home for me, the state of Georgia last year put together a program that would match GA drivers license records with voting records to determine if illegal aliens were voting. Because that's illegal. So naturally, it should be stopped, right? WRONG. The Obama administration said that it was illegal and discriminatory b/c applicants who are Hispanic, black or Asian would be more likely to be "flagged for additional scrutiny". Really? I'm shocked that more hispanics than whites might be illegal aliens. Never mind the fact that two federal courts already gave the program the green light. What is going on here? Does it have anything to do with the fact that illegal aliens vote for Democrats? Click here to read more about this.

Radical Supreme Court Nominee; Obama Conspiracy?

Some facts about Sotomayor, Obama's radical supreme court nominee:

- she is one of only 3 federal judges to rule that the 2nd amendment doesn't apply to states - meaning that if a city or state wants to ban all its residents from owning any type of guns, that is fine with her.

- she believes that "global warming is killing America"

- she's a member of the National Council of La Raza, which promotes driver's licenses for illegal aliens, amnesty programs, and no immigration law enforcement by local and state police.

I'm not surprised by any of these facts about her. Obama's a radical leftist and so is everyone he nominates to any post in his administration.

Now, for the real Obama-nation of the day: rumors have been circulating that of the Chrysler dealerships closed recently, virtually all were donors to the republican party. So far, only one that has been closed is a democrat contributor. Chrysler execs were deposed about the closings, and testified that the closings were forced on the company by the White House. As a part of Chrysler's bankruptcy deal with the White House, the company agreed to close one-fourth of its 3,200 dealerships. In addition, the White House "car czar" is married to the former national finance chairman of the Democratic National Committee. There's a fascinating article here about the whole fiasco. Very fishy.

Another Round-up of Recent News

Sorry for the break everyone. I had a surprise medical problem a couple of weeks ago and ended up spending a week in the hospital. I'm now catching up on what the Obam-inable one has done recently.

1. North Korea just staged an underground nuclear test. Reminder: out of all of Obama's massive spending, what is one of the few areas he actually cut? Missile defense.

2. Obama nominated his first supreme court justice. Yes, she is both a woman and a minority, as predicted. This woman has a hard core record as a leftist on the Court of Appeals (but did we expect anything less)? In 2002, she said during a speech that it's appropriate for a judge to consider their "experiences as women and people of color" during decisionmaking. Wait a second, isn't justice supposed to be blind? She also has acknowledged that she believes judges aren't there to interpret laws as our founding fathers intended, but rather to make their own rules, saying that "the Court of Appeals is where policy is made." Judges like her are the reason that gay marriage is legal in Iowa, not because voters want it, but because judges do. We can expect bad things from this.

3. Obama's new car tax: Obama announced the nation's first national emissions standards for cars and light trucks. By the time the plan is complete in 2016, consumers can expect to pay an extra $1300 per vehicle. In addition, consumers can expect to pay an extra $700 for changes he's already approved. Wait, I thought he wasn't raising taxes on 95% of working families?

4. Michelle Obama, in a speech at UC Merced, urged graduates to "give something back". Did you know that between 2000 and 2004 the Obamas did give something back - less than 1% of their income was donated to charity. The biggest donation was made to the church that espouses hate towards America and white people.

5. Perhaps the most ridiculous of all things he's said lately: Obama told Americans "we're out of money . . . . this is a consequence of the crisis that we’ve seen and in fact our failure to make some good decisions on health care over the last several decades."

Yes, we are out of money b/c we don't have socialized medicine. Hey, wait a second, don't we have free healthcare for the elderly? And isn't that system completely, totally out of money? So how is adding more people to that plan going to help? Click here to read more.

6. Finally, a little comic relief: remember Obama vowing to close Gitmo, making a big deal out of that, emphasizing that we don't want that sad chapter to continue in America's history, etc. Well the Senate gave him a little dose of reality - they voted to not give any funding in order to close it. Ha ha ha ha ha.

Not Funny, Obama!

As you've all probably heard by now, a hack "comedian" at the White House Correspondents Dinner said she hoped Rush Limbaugh's kidneys failed and called him the 20th hijacker on Sept. 11. And guess who sat there laughing his head off? That's right, Obama thinks Sept. 11 jokes are funny and relishes the thought of one of his most popular critics dying of kidney failure. Then, Robert Gibbs, White House spokesperson, said that "“I think there are a lot of topics that are better left for serious reflection rather than comedy. I think there’s no doubt 9/11 is part of that." Oh really? Well maybe you should tell your boss that. He thinks 9/11 is something to be laughed at.

Also, the White House RAISED the estimated budget deficit for 2009 to $1.8 TRILLION. It took Bush 7 years to accumulate that much debt. For every dollar DC spends this year, 45 cents of it will be borrowed.

Now, my favorite quote I've heard recently: "They told me if I voted for McCain I would have a buffoon for a Vice President. And they were right!"

Where's My $11,000 Worth of Benefits?

Did you know Obama's proposed budget spends over $11,000 for each man, woman and child in America? Is my family going to receive over $44,000 worth of benefits from the federal government? We'd better, because we're going to be paying for it.

Also, did you know that if the US was located in Europe, we wouldn't be allowed to join the European Union because of our debt levels? That's scary!

Obama's In Bed With Labor Unions

It was big news this week that Obama is cutting $17 billion from his budget. That's a whopping one-half of one percent of the budget. It's also only 4.25% of the INCREASE in the budget under Obama, and it's only 2.2% of the spendulus package. It's only .85% of 2009's deficit.

The most obam-inable part of this? Guess what areas Obama is making his cuts in? 50% of the savings come from defense's budget, that was not unexpected given his track record of making this country less safe. But guess which other department whose budget was slashed by a whopping 9 percent? The unit of the Department of Labor in charge of regulating labor unions!! Let's see, first this week he strong arms secured creditors of Chrysler in order to save the labor unions, and now he is slashing the budget of a group in charge of investigating corrupt union practices. Unbelievable.

Change You Can Believe In, Part 2

OK, now I'm really mad. Obama's actions have hit close to home - my handsome hubby got laid off. I know the economy was going down when he took office, but Obama's stupid actions haven't helped. Instead of spending $1 trillion on nothing, which is what the spend-ulus package did, maybe instead he could have said no capital gains tax for a year. Or tax incentives to small businesses. Or anything other than blowing $1 trillion on things as ridiculous as hybrid vehicles we don't need, Amtrak and turning federal buildings into green spaces, none of which helps anyone I know but all of which will hurt everyone I know in the long run.

A little comic relief: Obama wants to impose an extra tax on aspirin. Why? Because it's white and it works.

Now, my Obama-nation: Obama's fuzzy math. During his press conference the other night, he claimed he's created or saved 150,000 jobs. Actually, we've lost 1 million jobs since Oh-crap took office. His 150K figures comes from what his advisors THINK the stimulus bill is doing. Click here to read more.

Another example of his fuzzy math? His tax cut to 95 percent of Americans. He claims that if you are refinancing your house, you are getting the equivalent of another tax cut: "And we launched a housing plan that has already contributed to a spike in the number of homeowners who are refinancing their mortgages, which is the equivalent of another tax cut."

Sometimes I wish I lived in his fantasy world. : (

Supreme Court, Abortion and Taxes, Oh My!

Sad news today - Obama will soon get to make his first Supreme Court appointment. This is where he can do the most serious damage in my opinion. I agree with a talk radio show host that I was listening to earlier that he will choose a minority, a woman, or both, and to heck with choosing the most qualified person. The only comfort I have is that he's replacing a liberal justice anyway.

Some happy news - Obama is now breaking his campaign promise that one of the first things he would do is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. Now it's not his highest legislative priority. I hope he breaks more promises like that. Click here to read more.

Now, for my main point, are you enjoying that extra whopping $14 a week you are bringing home in your paycheck? Assuming you're not one of the horrible rich, you should be taking home extra $$. That's great, right? Obama finally cut the poor working stiffs a break, right? Nope. This is not money in your pocket, that is merely the IRS changing the withholding tables for many, resulting in smaller refunds next year. Obama is apparently banking on the fact that Americans will see the extra bump in their paychecks, attribute it to him, and fail to realize next year when their refund takes a huge dip that he didn't really lower their taxes. Click here to read more.

Obama's Getting Snippy

When asked about fiscal discipline and entitlements reform in St. Louis today, Obama said "Those of you who are watching certain news channels on which I'm not very popular, and you see folks waving tea bags around, let me just remind them that I am happy to have a serious conversation about how we are going to cut our health care costs down over the long term, how we are going to stabilize Social Security.” “But,” Obama continued, “let's not play games and pretend that the reason [for the deficit] is because of the Recovery Act."

Ouch! I guess our savior doesn't like seeing hundreds of thousands of Americans finally stand up to let our voices be heard.

Does he think that we didn't know there was already a deficit? Everyone knows that. What we were standing up for was his crazy spending that is going to quadruple the deficit in a few years at the rate he's going. And BTW Obama, I would love to hear how you are going to cut health care costs and stabilize Social Security. Because I really haven't heard anything that gives me any hope whatsoever that you are going to do either of those things.

You are Making it Too Easy, Obama

There is so much tomfoolery coming out of the White House these days.

First, a White House photo op nearly scared already scarred 9-11 victims in NY to death. Air Force 747 did a low flyover over Lower Manhattan in order to take some nifty pictures. The White House military office ordered the mission. Hey Obama, if you are looking to trim some fat from your budget, useless pictures for your scrapbook are a good place to start. Click here and here to read more.

Also, Obama is in a bind about what to do over Guantanamo detainees. The U.S. is "relatively close" to a decision about which of the 240 dangerous terrorist detainees to set free and which to put on trial. We are stuck begging with European countries to take them. Maybe if you hadn't closed it we wouldn't be in this mess. Click here to read more.

Finally, the funniest, most hilarious thing of all. Obama's quote from his weekly radio address last week: “We cannot settle for a future of rising deficits and debts that our children cannot pay,” the president says, adding that we must “recognize that we cannot meet the challenges of today with old habits and stale thinking. So much of our government was built to deal with different challenges from a different era. Too often, the result is wasteful spending, bloated programs, and inefficient results. It’s time to fundamentally change the way that we do business in Washington.”
I simply don't know what to say about that. You can click here to watch the video.

One for Eleven - Liar, Liar Pants on Fire.

Remember how while Obama was campaigning, he promised he would have the most transparent administration in history? He said the public would have five days to read each bill online before he signed it into law. How do you think he's doing on that promise? He's one for eleven - out of the eleven bills he's signed into law, only one was online five days in advance.

100 Days, 100 Mistakes

100 days of Obama, 100 mistakes.

What a Hypocrite

Here we go again. Obama flew his enormous Air Force One jet to Iowa yesterday specifically to talk about the benefits of being green. No other reason. Ever heard of teleconferencing, Obama?

Also, remember Barack's new BFF, Hugo Chavez? He went back home and bragged to his subjects that under Obama, Venezuela-style socialism has begun to reach the U.S. Click here to read more.

And another thing. This article points out that Obama is releasing memos about US torture techniques and isn't ruling out prosecution to attorneys who authorized the torture. Never mind the fact that said torture undoubtedly saved American lives by uncovering very credible plots to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge and the tallest building on the West Coast. However, Obama's ignoring the torture being committed by the Mexican government. As the article points out, torture only bothers him when the subjects are terrorists wishing to kill Americans.
