U.S. Cross Roads
As Americans we are at a cross-roads in our county’s history. How we are viewed by history is really dependent upon what we do in the coming months and years. We still have a choice. Either we will be viewed as the stupidest people in the history of the world for allowing our leader to throw away the republic or we will be viewed as the bravest society for standing up to our leaders in the face of adversity. The choice is ours. Let’s make it.
Obama is Incompetent
Fox Business News has a nice clip on all of the lies and broken promises from Obama.
Glenn Beck
On the Glenn Beck radio program, he has an “Idiot call of the Day” which goes to emphasize what he says in his book, Arguing with Idiots. The other day there was a caller who tried to defend Obama and his policies. The caller ignored the fact that everything he’s passed hasn’t worked, unemployment is 10+%, Democrats are losing elections, the dollar in the tank and he’s proposing massive entitlement programs that will pile on to the deficit. Are the democrats that blind?
Barney Frank
Barney Frank was allegedly at the home of his partner in 2007 when the cops arrested his partner for growing pot plants. ‘I’m not an outdoorsman’ was Frank’s response. Barney Frank claims he doesn’t know what dope looks like. I find that hard to believe since he looks in the mirror every day.
Berlin Wall
I read that Obama is not traveling to Berlin to mark the 20 year anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall. The wall stood for Communism and Marxism and the fall of wall meant the fall of Communism. No wonder he doesn’t want to mark the anniversary, he wishes the wall was still standing. Actually, he is trying build a similar wall in the United States around our hospitals and healthcare clinics.
Peter Schiff
If you have not listened to Peter Schiff and his warning about the economy and the health of the US dollar, then you need too. He doesn’t need a teleprompter, he is articulate and can back up his discussions with facts. Much better than most politicians. When I watch him, he reminds me of Ronald Reagan, he is confident and is not afraid to tell you the truth. Please google him or youtube.com him and watch his interviews.
Pay Czar
With all the outrage over executive compensation, the pay czar Kenneth Feinberg is wanting to cut the top executive salaries by 50%-90%. His focus is on executives of firms who received bailout money. Wasn’t the stimulus funding part of the bailout? I seem to recall that if the stimulus bill was not passed, then the whole economy would implode, so in effect the stimulus bill can also be part of the bailout. One such company that benefited from government money (taxpayer money) was General Electric (GE), for the wind turbines that the government is buying. Shouldn’t the pay czar limit the amount of income for Jeffery Immult? But wait, Obama wouldn’t do that, since NBC is owned by GE and GE contributed billions of dollars to the Obama campaign AND NBC is in Obama’s back pocket.
Peter Schiff for Senate
Here is a great quote from Peter Schiff who is running for Chris Dodd’s Senate seat. Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die. Everybody wants recovery, but nobody wants the medicine required. I only wish that someone like Peter Schiff would run for office in Oregon.
Future of Obamacare
I was greeted yesterday with what it will be like under Obamacare. I needed to purchase a roll of “forever stamps”. That is 100 stamps. I live in Portland and drive to the local post office in the neighborhood near where I grew up (West Slope). It is around 2 PM and I park and enter the post office and see a line of 11 people waiting to conduct their business. There is a big clock on the wall and I note the time. 7 minutes later, the same person is at the counter and there are still 11 people in front of me in line and now there are 5 more behind me. There is a single clerk working. I just needed to buy a roll of stamps, a quick an easy transaction. I had visions of this being the doctors office or the hospital emergency room, waiting and waiting and finally giving up.
I mentioned this story this morning to my dentist and he laughed and said, “You think that was bad, go to the DMV”. He made my point. Government run organizations can do little right. It reminds me of that saying about expensive health care. “If you think your healthcare is expensive now, wait untill it’s free”.
Obamacare bill
Olympia Snow should be hung up by her neck for allowing the bill to get out of the senate committee. The dems are claiming a bipartisanship bill with a single republican vote. Let’s band together and run her out of office. Maine, you deserve better than this.
