Feeling the love still?

When will the left completely jump ship?

Obama does not support free speech, free press, or capitalism.  He is practicing a Nixon/McCarthy style enemies list.  He promised to post bills 5 days before votes on the internet to give true transparency and instead he rams them through and allows his party to hide the facts.  He promised to end the war.  He has to commit more troops.  He derided being called anti-American, but allows his staff to toss it around.  He vowed lobbyists would not serve in his Administration and yet they ARE his closest advisors.  He has done nothing for the black community, the gay community and he has not been someone who could bring anyone together on any issue. 

The recession is broader and deeper than anyone is even admitting from the WH.  Unemployment in Michigan - 15%, Kentucky - 11%.  There are no jobs and the best he can say is that the rate of loss is slowing.  Homes haven't been saved from foreclosure, quite the opposite.  They are deliberately stalling and spacing them so as not to have huge foreclosure numbers.  Loans aren't being modified, values aren't being adjusted. 

What he is trying to do to healthcare, is an entire series of posts.

Here is my biggest question?  When oh when did liberals give up? 

• public option on health care - optional
• gay marriage (lalalalalalalala - they are pretending not to hear this issue)
• subsidizing corporate America? banking? mortgage companies? the rich who supposedly crushed the little guy?
• Staying in the war?  Increasing troops?  More spending on the war?
• Staying in Iraq?
• not prosecuting the CIA?
• I thought they were going to crucify Dick Cheney?
• Close Gitmo?

The SNL skit was cute.  The late night talk shows are getting fussy with him but still many die hard libs keep holding on.  Why?  He's all they have. Pelosi?  Reid?  No one trusts them.  Clinton's, they lost their mojo. Does Hillary do anything?  Joe Biden was laughed at by Obama's handpicked General.  He is such a caricature of himself, to pick on him isn't even fair.

I guess libs will keep hoping...keeping chanting "yes we can" and I guess they can wait.

The Award goes to...

Rio de Janeiro!!

Obama goes to get the Olympics, he didn't get it. He did get a Nobel Peace Prize.  It's apparently the door prize for the Olympics.  He beat out a record number of nominees.  The list will not be released for 50 years, cause that's how they do it.  But one nominee whose name has been leaked is Sima Simar.

She deserved it.

I could go on but frankly if you care about any of this you probably already know about all the other worthy nominees overlooked in favor of our scrawny, little, short-term, Senator turned political rockstar, groomed by Oprah annoited by Hillary and voted in by Americans who just didn't want anything resembling GW.

If you think he deserved to win...well I can't waste my breathe or my copy and paste clipboard on you.

Do I care about losing the Olympics?  I do not. I think he ought to be worried about our troops DYING in Afghanistan and he should be meeting in person with HIS General instead of Dave (look Bill I got my own intern) Letterman!

Chicago is pit of corruption. It is so bad in my state - our last two Governors are criminals, our Senators are corrupt, we have terrorists running major programs, ACORN, organized crime, really it is the under belly of America.  Does Chicago deserve it, nope.  Clean up your corrupt city first.

The great goddess Oprah even produced the film pitch for the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and they STILL lost.  They all hopped on planes, apologized for our country, begged, pleaded, tried all his catch phrasing and even the Jedi mind trick which had worked beautifully on so many weak minded Americans all to no avail.  The Olympic committee members must be like Jabba the Hutt.

Am I glad he/we lost, yep.

Do I think his Peace Prize means anything?  Nope.  No more than Gore's or Carter's.  The real person who should be ticked is Bill Clinton.  I would have LOVED to have been a fly on the wall over coffee at the Clinton home that morning.  Every other Democrat Pres. and even his own VP has gotten the Prize but all he got was impeached. Hillary and Gore have Grammy's and Oscar's.

They say every cloud has a silver lining, there it is for me. 

O.B.A.M.A

I could blog full time.  If I were to get paid of course.  I could spend my entire days learning about the gritty details and scouring resources to make my points.  To wile away the hours talking or typing in this case.  The only possible better choice would be my own talk radio show.

Joe Wilson of SC is my favorite person this week.  He shouted, "liar" during Obama's speech.  It was beautiful.  What was even better was that Nancy Pelosi almost had, what I think was an expression.  It's so tough to tell if someone's face is having an emotion when the skin has been stretched to that stage.  But I think I saw her be shocked.  It was brief because instantly her mouth snapped back into that Jokerized, lipsticked caked on smile, but it was there.  Joe Biden's hairplugs on his neck stood on end.

Okay, so some people are whining that this is not appropriate behavior for legislators.  Those on the right could run footage all weekend of the disrespect shown to Bush during his speeches to the Congress.  But that is not my point.  I thought it was pretty immature then, and now well, it's immature I suppose but darn it was fun.

Here is my point, my beef if you will.  Unless the Democratic National Convention wants to foot the bill for the airtime they are getting to run this speech then outbursts should not only be allowed but encouraged.  The Dems can applaud, cheer and give him standing ovations and Republicans can do nothing?  We cannot react.  Oh heck no.  If one side can express support the other side can express opposition, period. 

We can certainly go back to the time when they were required to make NO sound during the speech, no support, no applause,no jeering.  No cell phones or blackberry messaging to indicate the boredom.  No tweeting.  I'm good with that, much more respectable.  But if it's good for the goose, it's good for the asses, I mean the Democrats. 

My favorite slogan of the week from Facebook:

One
Big
Ass
Mistake
America

I crack myself up.

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE Dennis Miller

wait a minute...

Ever wait in line at the doctor's office?

How long do you have to wait?

Do you think you will wait shorter or longer times when 47 million people are added to the system?

Ever wait in the Emergency Room?

What do you think longer or shorter wait times?

Did you know their 47 million number actually does include approximately 12 million illegal aliens?

Ever see stressed out nurses?

Ever hear about nursing shortages?

Ever been hospitalized and have one nurse to a whole floor?

Ever wait for medical results? For a call back? For an appointment?

Rocky Mountain High

Okay, I can't call it hypocrisy anymore, our President is just lying.

He has spent his health care campaign trying to convince people that this is NOT Universal/Government/Single Payer Health care. He already showed his hand - since 2003 right up until now he has said that a PUBLIC OPTION, was only the first step in getting to his ideal of a Universal Plan. Please watch the following clips of our President. He said again today that this will be phased in it might take years. Yes it will, and then when they have the ground work laid, when we are too far in to turn back he will try to convince the public that the Universal Plan will save us.



He remarked about how great the Netherlands plan is but he left out their tax rates:
33.5% - 42% - 52% So how many months of each you are you willing to work to pay for everyone else's health care? 4? 5? 6.5? Oh please think about what that means to your family.

He cautioned about the fear mongering - what!!

The left is doing all the fear mongering! Our President said repeatedly how desperate times are, how Medicaid and Medicare are going to bankrupt us, and then his solution is to expand those programs to cover every person???? It's as if he is using the Jedi mind trick on people and their weak minds cannot see past it.

If an area of your personal expense is bankrupting you, do you make changes to it and find ways to save in THAT area before you think about what else you can buy or do you just buy everything you ever dreamed up?

We need Medicare and Medicaid reform NOW!
We need Insurance Pools and Co-ops NOW!
We need more free clinics NOW! We need them right smack beside ER's now!
We need to give doctors and nurses incentives to work in low income areas, NOW!
We need complete transparency in health care - post the costs in the waiting room!
Patients need to take responsibility NOW!

Our President is now solely the Liberal front man, the mouth piece trying to sell you on a lie. What the liberals (who are completely in charge of our government) want to do is different than what the President is trying to convince you he supports. His answers are so convoluted, so carefully constructed, you really have to listen and fact check - he can't be trusted to tell it straight.

His argument for competition was that Fed Ex and UPS are doing fine but the USPS isn't doing so well. How is that an argument FOR letting the government run things? If the government is regulating FED EX and USPS it WILL run them out of business.

Having dealt firsthand with FEMA and seeing the complete failure of government in an emergency...stay away from me and my health.

He explained how much waste and fraud is in the government programs that already exist and then with a straight face told the world that expanding this plan will make it better. wow, it's just a lie, it's just dishonest, it's intellectual dishonest.

These same liberals BURNED our President in effigy but now, yelling is wrong, signs are wrong, passion is wrong. Breaking my heart, I really tried to give this guy the benefit of the doubt.

Cash for clunkers

So we take out a huge debt on items that DEPRECIATE?

The clunkers being turned in for a government check were "state of the art" when they rolled off the line. Now they are being crushed. Of course these new cars won't be clunkers anytime soon, right?

Who do you think qualifies for these loans in this economy? The unemployed? The people who are being foreclosed upon? Whose credit is trashed? yeah right.

This is another terrible idea.
