Take the time to read this
GO TO THIS LINK: GET LIBERTY.ORG
This is a wonderful analysis by Bill Wilson. Couldn't agree with him more.
Another example: "On the economy, Barack Obama has been nothing short of a socialistic catastrophe. His has attempted to rush through the most radical, aggressive domestic agenda in the history of the republic. And he has taken the most aggressive steps ever towards government takeovers of entire industries."
More:
"On border security, the Administration has canceled the construction of a 700-mile fence along the nation’s southern border. At the same time, Obama has proposed another push for the comprehensive legalization of millions of illegal aliens, taking jobs away from Americans who will be forced to pay more in taxes to subsidize the illegals’ use of public services.
On defense, the Obama regime has been slashing the budget—by a full 10 percent--while the nation finds itself in two wars. He gave away a key component of national security—missile defense in Eastern Europe—to Russia. For nothing in return."
You gotta read this.
By the way, how's that hope and change working for you?
Interesting headlines today
"President Barack Obama has only been in office for just over nine months, but he's already hit the links as much as President Bush did in over two years."
2. 14 Americans killed in 2 Afghan helicopter crashes
"KABUL (AP) - Helicopter crashes killed 14 Americans on Monday—11 troops and three drug agents—in the deadliest day for the U.S. mission in Afghanistan in more than four years. The deaths came as President Barack Obama prepared to meet his national security team for a sixth full-scale conference on the future of the troubled war."
3. U.S. troops hope Afghanistan sacrifices not in vain
"Doubts, determination to finish mission fill days"
4.
He's busy playing golf and Americans are being killed in Afghanistan. Oh ya, he's too busy to actually make that decision about troops there. But oink-oink flu is a crisis.....what a jerk. How the hell much preparation does he need to actually make that decision?
Every parent, wife, husband or relative of anyone serving in Afghanistan should remember this when this guy decides to run for reelection - and remember this when ANY DEMON-CRAT runs for any federal office. BILL FOSTER---ARE YOU READY FOR RETIREMENT?????

This is why I love Texas
Last week I spent 4 days in the Texas State Capitol, Austin--wonderful city, but unfortunately it rained every day I was there. Well, they've been experiencing a drought so they really needed the rain, but it was kind of a bummer not to be able to enjoy the city. But I did spend some quality time at the Texas State History Museum--awesome place--and learned a lot about the state's history (duh, the purpose of the place). I have new respect for Texas, and actually would like to return for a visit in the future. BUT DO NOT FLY AMERICAN AIRLINES--they charged me $20 on each leg of the trip for my suitcase. THIEVES. Next time I'll fly Southwest--my favorite airline.

Further proof spending a gazillion dollars DOES NOT WORK if you want to put people to work

The table below compares the White House's February 2009 projection of the number of jobs that would be created by the 2009 stimulus law (through the end of 2010) with the actual change in state payroll employment through September 2009 (the latest figures available). According to the data, 49 States and the District of Columbia have lost jobs since stimulus was enacted. Only North Dakota has seen net job creation following the February 2009 stimulus. While President Obama claimed the result of his stimulus bill would be the creation of 3.5 million jobs, the Nation has already lost a total of 2.7 million – a difference of 6.2 million jobs. To see how stimulus has failed your state, see the table below.

This is what happens when Democrats run the State of Illinois
From the Chicago Tribune's Breaking News:
State's red ink worse than expected
The state's money woes are worse than predicted due to plummeting tax revenues and an unprecedented number of unpaid bills, the Illinois comptroller's office said today.Tax revenues compared to a year ago fell $588 million in the first quarter of the state's fiscal year.
Haven't you wondered about this too?
"There's a reason for their uncharacteristic silence. Derrion's murder does not fit the black liberation narrative. As one civil rights leader said to me, "If we focus on black on black crime, we let white folks off the hook." Never mind that the leading cause of death among black males ages 18 to 24 is homicide by other black males."
"In one interview before Obama was elected, Michelle Obama commented on threats to Barack Obama's safety saying, "As a black man, Barack can get shot going to the gas station." What she did not say is that his likely killer would be another black man. Blacks are only 13% of the population, but over 40% of the murder victims. Ninety Three percent of those black victims are killed by other black people."
Black people are killing black people. BUT if a white person points that out they get called a racist....seems tragically stupid, doesn't it?
By the way, the article (link to it above) was written by a black man--I wonder if the apologists for No-bama will say THAT's racism.....hmmmmm.
Great part of this article: "Liberal benefactors and foundations are not interested in addressing social pathologies which can only be eliminated by change of values, stable families and the willingness of fathers to parent their children. The government's coffers are closed to moral judgments and spirituality. Faith in God, parental love and discipline to instill values of decency and responsibility are the antidotes to gangs, crime and drugs. However, allegations of racism, discrimination and social injustice are far more marketable for the Rainbow Coalition and the NAACP"

Again, the Brits can see through No-bama
Obama’s Olympic failure will only add to doubts about his presidency
"There has been a growing narrative taking hold about Barack Obama’s presidency in recent weeks: that he is loved by many, but feared by none; that he is full of lofty vision, but is actually achieving nothing with his grandiloquence.
Chicago’s dismal showing today, after Mr Obama’s personal, impassioned last-minute pitch, is a stunning humiliation for this President. It cannot be emphasised enough how this will feed the perception that on the world stage he looks good — but carries no heft."
My offspring was right
Rio gets the Olympics. My offspring said it was Rio all the time. I think I want her to pick my lotto numbers for me!
And now this guy runs Chicago's schools
"Report rips Huberman's oversight of contracts--Inspector general says 'management failure' cost city $2.25 million"
No wonder the schools in Chicago are in such rotten shape. When your city is ruled by patronage, corruption, and political hacks it's not a surprise that the educational product (you know, like the 50% drop out rate) is so absolutely horrible.
"Chicago schools chief Ron Huberman -- Mayor Daley's former corruption-fighting chief of staff -- is being accused of a "significant management failure" that set the stage for alleged contract irregularities at the city's 911 center that cost taxpayers $2.25 million.
In an explosive new report, the city inspector general's office characterizes Huberman as so derelict in the oversight of a contract with Motorola while he was executive director of the Office of Emergency Management and Communications that he should be suspended if he still worked for the city."
The Ego has landed!
Hurray for sanity! Obviously the ego known as No-bama + Michelle + Oprah did not impress the Olympic committee. I purposely did not watch anything involving this debacle.
Did you see anything of No-bama's speech to the IOC? Whoa--he's so full of himself. What a joke the man is. And now the world knows what a joke he is. My my my--the damage that guy is going to do to our country in his 4 years tenure is SO DISTURBING. It'll take a long time to undo the harm he'll inflict on us all.
Check out the Chicago Tribune story:
2016 Olympics decision: Chicago out in first round
Maybe they can pay attention to kids killing kids, the streets falling apart, the unemployment rate skyrocketing, the schools in Chicago tanking, etc.
Three strikes and you're out: Cubs stunk, White Sox stunk, Olympics' bid out in first vote.
