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.

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.

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?
