Bankrupting the Country not YOU!

The president says - "I believe that in America no one should go bankrupt because they get sick…" so in an effort to prove a statement meant to "scare" all to vote for him, I suppose his plan is to bankrupt the entire country while we pay for everyone else illness!

The Left's Hard Work Pays Off!

Well work the left has put into "packing the court", while many on the right have had their heads in the sand for years...is paying off!
Teachers, yes the fine and honorable teaching profession...wonder how teachers around the country feel about the honor, integrity, and caring these Wisconsin have demonstrated:

The already hard-pressed Madison School District had been forced to cancel classes for three days as teachers abandoned their students to take part in anti-taxpayer protests..

Obama Warned, Amazing!

The U.S. President is warned by a foreign power, publicly called out. Speaks volumes about our president that they dare attempt, but what its worse he will probably comply.

I Have a Problem with This

I really have a problem with the this - It is not the government's job to keep track of us, it is our job to keep track with what they are doing...

...or at least, that is the way the founding fathers intended it!

Obama Administration Reportedly Plans to Create Internet ID for All Americans - FoxNews.com

Does This Administration Care

"A new poll....disaster for Obama", disaster? For it to be a disaster one has to assume Obama cares what you and I and everyone wants or expects. If this last year has proven anything it has proven what you and I and the majority want/expect is the last thing this administration or the democrat lead congress care about - Their desires come first. After all they are smarter and know what is best for you and I and everyone.

Nope the below news isn't a disaster for Obama, failure to move us closer to socialism, failure to have more than 50% of the population convinced they can only depend on the government to meet their needs - Now that would be a disaster for this administration.

Review FEAR as 2009 Departs and 2010 Arrives

Realizing 2010 was about to be here, I remember how I believed “I would be old” when thinking of 2000 while in school. That led me to remember the Y2K [bogus] bug. Remembering the Y2K, I remembered the Ozone hole, which caused me to remember the “new” ice age…

Then I remembered how Japan was “going to own America”, much like we hear China “will own America” now.
Does anyone else see a common theme here? “Keep the citizens in fear”, seems to be the goal of the media, the government, or both.

Having some (a little) experience with trying to control “masses”, I can say installing fear and worries is a goal to “control”. Do you believe I am just “blowing smoke”?

Well let’s look back – post WWII

• Fear of the ‘A’ bomb – Bomb shelters, “duck and cover”, etc.
• McCarthyism
• Cold War
• Temperatures cooling and entering a new ice age
• Oil Shortage
• Japan would “buy and destroy” America
• Going to “cook” due to a hole in the Ozone
• AIDS
• Animal Fat
• Domestic Terrorism
• Global Warming
• International Terrorism
• Trans fats
• China will “buy and destroy” America

Hmm, that is just a few – Am I blowing smoke?

Putting the Country on Trial

As the left celebrates the "trial" of confessed killers and murders we are going to see the US on trail - You don't believe it; how do you think a defense attorney is going to defend a confessed killer who requested to be executed - HMM?

Despite spat, White House to book officials on Fox News - washingtonpost.com

Richard Cohen - Time for Obama to Act Like a President

Sooner or later it is going to occur to Barack Obama that he is the president of the United States. As of yet, though, he does not act that way, appearing promiscuously on television and granting interviews like the presidential candidate he no longer is.

Forgetting Defense ...

Forgetting defense or like other democrats kicking it to the side claiming the fight the "war on poverty" one that hasn't been made any advancements in 50 years - Guess now it is the "healthcare war".

...one question, if the "healthcare plan" will pay for it's self, as our president claimed, why the need to cut the military budget????

How to Dismantle a Military Superpower

Ultimately, severe modernization cuts could increase the likelihood that U.S. military capabilities will fall short of the nation's wide-ranging security commitments. Current budget plans indicate the United States may relinquish its military superpower status - not to another nation per se, but by reverting to a position where it lacks the capacity to engage and maintain a forward presence globally.

Leadership???

Found this an interesting article, maybe you will too. Obama "knows how to push...but doesn't know how to lead" - I believe that hits the nail on the head.

A Presidential Learning Moment

President Obama continues to act like the powerless community organizer he once was. He knows how to push. That's what community organizers do. But he doesn't know how to lead. And leadership is the one essential skill required to govern effectively.
[...]
Obama's community organizing tactics are beginning to wear thin with a majority of the American public, whatever their partisan persuasions. Some, who still feel warm toward him as a person, are growing cold to his leadership style.

Facts - If you are Interested

This article checks several Whitehouse claims - I have just put one below, so if interested follow the link...

Fact Check

The first claim is that “Medicare has controlled cost growth better than private-sector health plans.” The reality is that “when payments from all sources are considered, spending on Medicare beneficiaries is increasing faster than spending on the privately insured.” The amount Medicare spends per beneficiary is growing slowly, but Medicare is paying a shrinking share of its beneficiaries’ total health costs. The total amount spent on health care for individuals enrolled in Medicare is actually growing faster than the amount spent on individuals in private insurance.

Something to Think About - Government

Good quick read of for the AM - May give you something to think about.

Ten Questions about Freedom, Virtue, and the Role of Government

Today's political debates are often muddied by misconceptions of the role of government and its responsibility to American citizens. What are the limits of good government? How can the virtues necessary for freedom flourish? Sustaining ordered liberty depends on good answers to these questions.

This is really a good read and makes sense if someone from the president on down will read before making taxpayers responsible for bad business decisions...and past "bad governing" that got us here in the first place...

The Corner on National Review Online

It’s time to end the silence and clear up the confusion.

Congress has an obligation to protect the taxpayer.

Congress has an obligation to limit the executive branch to the rule of law.
