Read my lips...

Remember when George H.W.  Bush first uttered these words in 1988:

  

"Read my lips, no new taxes" was a promise Bush made during the Republican National Convention when he was selected as the Republican Presidential candidate in 1988. Bush went on to defeat Democrat Michael Dukakis and served for four years.  When he came up for re-election in 1992, Bush lost.  This was due to the fact that Bush had told a lie -  a big whopper - saying he would not raise taxes.  The American people remembered.  And the American voters held Bush accountable when he ran again for re-election.  People don't like being lied to. They voted Bill Clinton into office instead. 

Now along comes Barack Obama:

Think the American people will forget 7 lies - and counting!   Just recently Obama announced he may forget about his promise to the labor unions to not tax their cadillac health plans should health care reform become a reality.  Labor unions aren't taking that news too well.

Here's several other  whoppers on "transparency" alone.   Showing Obama promising over and over how health care bill negotiations will be shown on C-Span.  So the public can see and hear what is going on!  Is that happening?  NO. Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and their partners in crime are working behind closed doors to conjure up the health care bill monstrosity that the majority of Americans DO NOT WANT.   Maybe in the mixed-up world of Obama, "transparency" is a code word for "opaqueness."

How anyone can continue to defend this truth-challenged president is beyond me.  (A rare moment of honesty in Washington D.C. was when Congressman Joe Wilson  called Obama a "liar" during Obama's infomercial on health care...)  Yet, there are still many Obamazombies out there who apparently will follow their Dear Leader over a cliff if he asks them to.  Most of us know better.  If the American people chose to not re-elect President George H.W. Bush because he told ONE lie, it will be simply amazing if Obama can get re-elected in 2012 over lies too numerous to even keep track of...

Stop, Drop, and Sign

I just signed this petition.  It took less than a minute and it is not one of those "add your name list things" that simply put you on a mailing list.  I get this Red State.com email daily and it is a decent website that puts you ahead of the daily news. 

 

If you are interested, click on the link below and it will take you to the petition.  Then it asks for your name, email, and zip code, which makes your participation legal!  We need to stop this circus trial or at least make an effort!  Obama is now being forced to listen because of the 'Underwear bomber"!

 

 

 

Stop what you are doing.  I need your help real quick.

 

Go here and sign this petition.  

 

It is to protest the civilian trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York City.

 

Human Events put it together and I'm glad to put my name on it.  We're going to deliver this petition to the government and protest this senseless act by Barack Obama.

 

I don't know how many people are going to get killed because Obama would rather lawyer up than soldier up, but we need to make sure the government knows the American people think this KSM trial is nuts.

 

Please sign the petition.  If you want more info, please read Jed Babbin's fantastic column today  on the KSM trial.

 

Sincerely yours,

The National Democratic Future Voter Outreach Drive

The National Democratic Future Voter Outreach Drive,"  otherwise known as the "Census Portrait of America Road Tour," is gearing up to visit 800 locales nationwide  to  "promote the benefits of responding to the 10-question 2010 census."   All courtesy of the White House.

The cost?  Why, a drop in the bucket for the Obama Administration - $340 million dollars.  $340,000,000.00.  Yes, that is correct.  With 10% unemployment, jobs being lost on a daily basis, the economy in a recession, and our government sinking our country deeper in to debt, somehow Obama & Co. managed to come up with $340 million dollars to spend on this boondoggle.  And boondoggle is the only word for it.

To begin with, why does our country NEED a 46 foot trailer, along with 12 smaller cargo trailers, traveling 150,000 miles nationwide PROMOTING the benefits of responding to census questions?!?  Anyone have a good answer?  (And just imagine that carbon footprint!)  Why is the census 10 questions?  All people need to answer, if they wish, is how many people live in their household. 

A few months ago, when Obama first came into office, one of the initial power grabs the public saw from this Administration was the taking over of the U.S. Census duties.  This was unheard of.  House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-OH, stated:  "This action appears to be motivated by politics, rather than the interests of our country.  The United States Census should remain independent of politics;  it should not be directed by political operatives working out of the White House."   Never has the census been politicized like Obama has done.  I wrote a blog on February 13th, 2009, called:  Media doesn't want to report on 2010 U.S. Census - Why?  In that post, I mentioned how, after a census, re-districting and voting patterns can be re-drawn, based on population counts.  By taking over the U.S. Census, districts can be manipulated to achieve maximum votes and seats in the House or Senate.  Hmmmm.....think Obama and his cronies might have known this when they took control of the Census duties?????

What a sham - at the expense of the taxpayer.  And if that isn't enough to make anyone angry, check out this poster being promoted by NALEO - The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials.  NALEO is just one of 136,000 community volunteer organizations (doesn't that make one shudder!)   to partner and help out with U.S. Census duties.  (Funny how Christ cannot be mentioned in schools or Christmas.....yet, for the census it's A-O-K!!!)

(Wonder if the Obama Administration will put up another website where friends, relatives, neighbors, and others can "rat" out those who are questioning the U.S. Census methods?  Similar to the flag@whitehouse.gov website used several months ago to report on people who didn't believe the lies and misinformation they were being force fed by the Democrats on health care reform....)

From my 2/13/09 blog:    It has become clear that Obama and the Democrats want to remain in power for a long time to come.  They will do anything, apparently, to achieve this goal.

No kidding.

Obama gets an "A" for his first year as President.

 

Aw, c'mon Barack!  Just a solid B+?  As for narcissism, you take the cake.  What kind of president would even answer such a question - wouldn't a more dignified, classy response have been  "I leave that judgment to the American people?"  No, Barack Obama just couldn't help it when it comes to his favorite topic - himself. Some even say that the hardest part of Obama's day is when he has to turn away from the mirror....

As for my own personal grade for The One:  right off the bat I'd have to say an "A."  First of all, this neophyte man-child, with no experience, fooled many people into voting for him.  Granted, the mainstream media became an extension of his personal fan club and helped get him elected, yet many people were bamboozled and hoodwinked into electing a man with no qualifications to be president.  A man who throughout his life has been surrounded by Marxists and socialists - who grew up with a huge chip on his shoulder in regards to America.  A man who doesn't appear to like our country very much.  A man who apologizes and criticizes America as often as his buddies like Hugo Chavez and Raul Castro.   And now he is the President of the United States.  Think of the millions of people he had to fool to achieve such a goal!  Mission Accomplished!

So I will give Obama an "A" for his unheralded ability to dupe the American public into electing him president.  For his unbelievably smooth performance of pretending to be a moderate while campaigning and then turning into the socialist he has always been once sworn in.    I will give Obama an "A" for working hard to rebuild America as he sees fit.  As a socialist nation.   That is what Obama and his Administration want - and they are doing a great job.  Government now owns a few automobile companies.  A few banks.  They got their hands on health care.  Next to go will be the private insurers - so they can be replaced with government-run bureaucrats and programs.  Bigger government - bigger than we ever imagined - or ever wanted.  Less freedoms.  More of our money taken from the earners to give to the non-producers.  The redistribution of the wealth as the government sees fit.    The people Obama has surrounded himself with - all the czars and Chicago cronies -  are accomplishing a lot in a very short period of time.  Seems they had to "hit and run" in order to cram everything through before the American people realized what was happening.  Many are finally waking up out of their Obamazombie stupors to realize that Obama was NO moderate - not in the least.  He only pretended to be to get elected.  They are finally understanding that Obama was NOT bi-partisan - and has no intention of becoming so.  He only pretended to be bi-partisan to get elected.  And finally -  Obama does NOT want "transparency" in government, but wants total opaqueness.  Passing bills behind closed doors.  Shutting the Republicans and the voices of opposition out of everything.  Not even telling the American people what garbage is in the health care monstrosity that passed the Senate during the wee hours on Christmas Eve...

When giving himself a "B+" on Oprah, Obama states that he "inherited the biggest set of challenges of any president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt."  Not true.  Obama inherited a mild recession.  He has since made it much worse.  He and his Democratic followers have passed massive spending bills, loaded with pork.   Such bills only serve to wreak havoc with our economy and are helping to destroy capitalism - a desired goal of socialists.   Obama has increased our national debt by trillions.  The Chinese basically own our country.  And during the Oprah love fest, Obama had the nerve to claim that the "economy is growing?"  Where?  All Obama has done is add more Chinese money to float around and make it appear as though certain segments in society are productive.  Remember "Cash for Clunkers?"  Money that the government didn't have was used to falsely bolster a sagging car sales industry.  A mere blip in car sales was seen, which disappeared after the government funds ran out.  The only "growing" we Americans are witnessing right now is the growth in government.  Bloated, inefficient, spend-happy, bureaucratic power-grabbers.  That is exactly what Obama wants.  Right now in  the United States, the number of  government jobs continue to grow while private sector jobs decline.   Is that where we are headed?  Phasing out hard-working Americans who formed the backbone of our great country through their work, productivity, ingenuity, drive, and ambition?  To be replaced by government-created jobs that do nothing but serve to grow government?  If Obama really wanted to stimulate our economy, he and his pals in Washington D.C. should be encouraging the exact opposite.  But for some strange reason, this is not the case....

Wow!  So, Barack Obama is doing just fine!  He sure deserves an "A"... if  you like socialism and hate America!

However, if one loves this country  and the principles upon which it was founded, that grade must change dramatically.  If Americans want to succeed and prosper, and NOT rely on the government for their every need, Obama is doing a mighty poor job as president.  Worse than Jimmy Carter.    Most of us - according to virtually every poll as of late - are very unhappy with Mr. Obama and his socialist pals in the Senate and House.  So if we are honest and admit that Barack Obama is dangerous - since he is intentionally and systematically destroying America - we have to give him an "F."  A strong, solid "F."   And "hope" for "change" in 2010 and 2012 to save America.
