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about this, but did you know that portions of the health care bill passed by the Senate specifically say they cannot be repealed except by a three-fifths vote of the Senate?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 You pass a bill that forces me to buy health insurance, and then you tell me it can only be repealed by a supermajority?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!!!
