He's Been Busy!

I've had company this week and haven't had a chance to keep up with what Obama's been doing. I'm catching up now and boy oh boy am I disgusted.

Spendulus Bill - The House and Senate are now working furiously to spend $1 Trillion of our grandchildren's money without delay. Many have admitted they haven't read the bill (which is 600 to 800 pages long and contains lot of hidden goodies, see below), but they just know they have to sign it NOW. Why delay spending $1 Trillion when your President is begging, pleading and threatening dire circumstances if the spend-ulus bill isn't passed now? Does Obama realize that a lot of what shapes the economy is consumer confidence, and when he preaches day after day how horrible things are he is only making it worse? Republicans are asking for 2 days to review the bill so Americans will know what it contains. Will they get it? I think 2 days should be a minimum to think about spending $1 Trillion dollars. And I think you should actually READ what you sign.

THE WORST OBAM-INATION: Health Care - Did you know there are several provisions in the bill (the version passed by the House) that will affect our health care and pave the way for socialized medicine? These provisions were slipped in without discussion, by whom no one seems to know, but I have an inkling who's behind it - the Obam-inable one. The bill allows our medical records to be tracked electronically by the government. It also creates a new government bureaucracy, "The National Coordinator of Health Information Technology", which will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective. Hospitals and doctors that aren't "meaningful users" of the system will face penalties. In addition, there will be a "Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research." This "Council" will have the power to make determinations on the cost effectiveness of medical treatments, procedures, drugs, and medical devices. It's based on a U.K. board which approves or rejects treatments for patients by dividing the costs of the treatment by the number of years the patient is likely to benefit. Want a heart valve replacement Granny? Sorry, our government chart shows you are two years too old to get one, nice knowing ya. Read more about this frightening mess here.

Census - Did you know Obama wants to control the census? The White House is shifting oversight of the census away from the Commerce Department. The director of next year's census is going to report directly to the White House, instead of the Commerce Secretary. Why? The census is the basis for where government spending goes for everything, as well as where congressional districts are drawn. Read more here.

Anti-Religion Provisions in Bill - Did you know the stimulus bill funds are prohibited from being used for the "modernization, renovation, or repair" of facilities that allow "sectarian instruction, religious worship or a school or department of divinity"? Read more here. That is just offensive considering everything else Obama is throwing our money at, including abortions in other countries. So we can use our money to fund abortions in other countries (including forced abortions in China) but NO MONEY for religion whatsoever. He is taking this country to hell in a handbasket.

Obam-inable Meeting with 9/11 and Cole Bombing Families - Apparently Obama took time from his busy schedule of threatening that the world will end if we don't go $1 Trillion in debt to speak with families of the victims of the USS Cole bombing and 9/11. “During the meeting, President Obama was wrong on the law, wrong about what Boumediene v. Bush afforded the detainees held at Guantanamo, and stated the public’s perception about Guantanamo is confused with Abu Ghraib.” Obama also admitted that Gitmo is “a pristine, professional operation.” Then why do you want to shut it down? You can listen to a radio interview with one of the family members at the meeting here.
