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.

A Round-up of Recent Obam-inable Actions, Part 2

Obama's been keeping busy. Some of his latest Obam-inable actions:

- Obama obviously was not pleased at taxpayers rising up and protesting his massive spending. So what does he do to appease us? He orders department chiefs to cut $100 million from their budgets. Wow, that's great Obama! I believe it's a whopping 1/36,000 of the money you are planning on spending next year. (Or, to someone making $50,000 per year, it's like cutting 72 cents from their annual spending). It's also equal to the interest that accumulates each and every day on the spend-ulus bill that congress passed this year. How stupid do you think we are? Do you think you tossing us a crumb is going to shut us up?

Then, the same day he ordered the budget cut, he announced that the US should loan the International Monetary Fund $100 BILLION. Let's cut $100 million, then spend $100 billion the same day! Click here to read more.

- Obama ordered the release of memos about torture interrogation methods last week. As it turns out, he only ordered the memos released that make the US look bad. Cheney wants memos released showing how successful our methods were at getting terrorists to squeal. Click here to read more.

- Obama has a new BFF (for those not in elementary school in the 80's, that means best friend forever). His name is Hugo Chavez, and he is a ruthless dictator from Venezuela. Chavez once called Bush the "devil" and Obama an "ignoramus". But all those things are in the past now, we should forget about that. They cordially shook hands last week and Obama has a huge grin pasted on his face. Chavez was kind enough to give Obama a gift, a lovely book called "Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent", which chronicles America's criminal actions towards Latin America. Obama thought the book was a "nice gesture". I am guessing Chavez will skip back to Venezuela and brag to all his subjects about how he proved to Obama how horrible America is by giving him that book. Sigh.

Obama's "Handshake"

There is so much depressing news coming from the Obama administration. He goes over to Europe and trashes us, calling us an "arrogant nation" and saying we aren't a Christian nation any longer. Actually, since as of last Sunday he hasn't gone to church any of the 11 Sundays since he's taken office (although during the campaign religion was such an important part of his life) and almost every single appointment he has made is pro-abortion at any stage of pregnancy, maybe he is an expert on who isn't Christian.

So let's think about something funny. Remember that very deep bow at the waist Obama gave to the king of Saudi Arabia? The White House is now claiming that it wasn't a bow, it was Obama shaking hands with the king, and since the king was so much shorter than he was, he had to apparently almost touch the ground to do so. That's hilarious. Obama, just admit you don't have any foreign policy experience, that's what happens when America elects someone who has accomplished nothing, and so America gets what it deserves. I would actually respect that. Click here to read more.

Now some good news! On April 15, there are now scheduled to be over 450 "tea parties" all across the country, with regular citizens protesting what Washington is doing. I am very excited. When I first went on their site to see where they were going to be held in GA, I think there were only 2, in Atlanta and Savannah. Now there are 15 in places I've never heard of in Georgia. This is a clue that people are starting to wake up and it is very encouraging. You can click here to see a google map with the locations of all the tea parties, but you have to wait a couple of seconds for all the locations to load.

A Round-up of Recent Obam-inable Actions

There are several Obam-inable things our leader has done lately.

First, a hilarious one. Guess what song was on the iPod he gave the Queen? Send in the Clowns!! I kid you not. There could not be a more appropriate song out there for him to put on that iPod. Here's a list of the other songs on there.

Second, an update. Last night Congress passed that Obam-inable budget which raised spending by 10% over Bush's last year. This is in addition to that ridiculous stimulus bill. I guess if you are in the middle of a $$ crisis, you should just spend more! What a plan. In good news though, the number of Democrats opposing this plan has increased since the stimulus bill was passed.

Third, Obama executed a bow so deep to the Saudi king that he almost fell down. Contrast this with the handshake he gave the queen of England. Hmmm, Saudi Arabia vs. England. Check out the video on youtube.

Finally, the most disturbing, Obama and the other world leaders at the G-20 summit announced yesterday that they were pledging $1.1 TRILLION in new funds to rescue the world's economy. $1.1 TRILLION!! How dare he? How much of this is coming from us? Here's just a crazy wild guess - the vast majority. I am getting sick of this. Obama, my kids' future earnings are NOT a part of some blank checkbook for you. Click here to read about that.

What a Tacky Present, Part 2

Do you remember the huge embarrassment Obama caused us when he gave Gordon Brown a set of DVDs after Brown brought Obama an ornamental pen holder made from the timbers of the Victorian anti-slave ship HMS Gannet (oak from its sister ship was used to make an Oval Office desk), a framed commission for HMS Resolute and a first edition of the seven-volume biography of Churchill by Sir Martin Gilbert? Did you know the DVDs wouldn't even play on British DVD players? Remember how I mentioned that if you can buy the gift at Wal-mart, you probably shouldn't give it to the prime minister of your major ally in the world?

Obama had a chance to redeem himself. He's on his first official trip to Europe as President. Well guess what, he bought another Wal-mart gift, this time for the Queen of England!! He gave her an iPod. She already owns an iPod. The iPod includes photos from Obama's inauguration, audio of his speech at the 2004 Democrat convention, and audio of his 2009 Inaugural address. So not only did he buy her a crappy gift (for a Queen), he loaded it with photos of him and speeches of his. Does this man's ego know no bounds? Click here and here to read more.

What a Tacky Present

Obama majorly snubbed G.B. Prime Minister Gordon Brown during his first U.S. visit during the Obama administration last week. A scheduled joint press conference was canceled "due to snow". Brown brought Obama an ornamental pen holder made from the timbers of the Victorian anti-slave ship HMS Gannet (oak from its sister ship was used to make an Oval Office desk), a framed commission for HMS Resolute and a first edition of the seven-volume biography of Churchill by Sir Martin Gilbert. Obama gave Brown a set of 25 DVDs (as mom said, if you can buy it at Wal-mart, it's probably not a good enough gift for the Prime Minister). Brown also didn't get a state dinner, as is customary.
