Obama Is Not Feeling Our Pain

American politicians on the national stage fail to feel the pain of the American. Beyond lip-service and sound bites for the evening news politicians don’t worry about the closing businesses, the failing banks, the violence in the cities, the foreclosed homes or the job losses like those of us ‘down in the trenches.’ Politicians are above the fray. They step up to the microphones and make their meaningless speeches promising whatever they think they have to say at the moment, but the fears most Americans feel are meaningless to them.
That attitude has been GLARINGLY obvious in their timing of the healthcare proposals. While Americans are having trouble meeting their bills Congress and the president have decided it doesn’t matter and they are willing to cram through healthcare and a laundry list of their ‘agenda items’ that will have a devastating impact on the taxes the American people will be facing in the coming years. Nor do they understand that taxing businesses for their ‘cap and trade’ green initiatives will hurt the American people. For some reason Congress and the president fail to grasp that higher taxes on ‘the rich’ means the cost for those taxes will be passed along to those of us who can least afford to pay for them.
And it is getting worse.
You would think it’s not that hard to crack a history book and look at the pages of those who have gone down this tired, worn-out path before and simply learn from their mistakes. No, that would be too easy. Our president feels he needs to make all the mistakes again so he can show us how they SHOULD have been handled in the past. After all, his domestic agenda is such a glaring success story why not turn his attention to foreign affairs and see how badly he can screw those up, too. Again we see the lack of being in touch with the pain of the masses as President Obama starts to dismantle our nuclear arsenal and cut the Defense budget. Did he miss the history pages of the recent past when President Clinton attempted to do the same thing? Doubtful.
The world is ‘nuking up.’ Everyone who wants a nuke seems to be able to get one and at the same time the rest of the world seems to be getting ready for some sort of showdown, our president is telling the world we are dismantling OUR nukes. Why? So the world will think we’re weak and won’t attack us?? Really? And when has that ever been a successful strategy? Did it work for Poland in WWII? France?? Show me one instance where it worked. The answer to that question is: NEVER.
The Democrats are slashing Defense spending at an alarming rate. That will cause the military to have to do with less. Do you remember when our troops had to go to war with Humvees that were under armored? Or do you remember our kids going out to battle without body armor or their families had to buy it for them? I do and I CERTAINLY remember the Democrats tripping over each other in their rush to get to the cameras to tell America what a TRAVESTY it was. Senator Charles Shumer (D-NY) was on every show he could get to saying that very thing. Yet, it was THEIR Defense cuts under Clinton that put our kids out there without the proper equipment. And NOW they are determined to do it again all the while pretending there is no more terror threat to America in the world. Yet five terror threats were broken up in two days INSIDE THE UNITED STATES!!!
So we are back to our Congress and president being out of touch with the pains and fears of the American people. They are not feeling the pain of what we go through as we send our kids off to battle. Why should they? They’re sitting in Washington getting us into these messes. Why should they worry about who has to fight the battles? The only use the DC crowd has for our troops are as political fodder. Our kids will have to go to war again when we are attacked after the FAILURE of the Obama foreign agenda and we’ll be right back where we were after Clinton. Our kids will have to march off to war without the proper equipment again. And there will be the Democrats with their faces stuck in the cameras telling us what a travesty it is. And what a great travesty it TRULY is that these people get their hands on the reins of power, make a mess of it, then sit on the sidelines and give interviews about the very mess they created while others try to clean it up. History keeps repeating itself… Democrats screw it up, Democrats get to critique while serious minded people fix the mess the Democrats made… On and on…

Destroying America Obama Style

The opening of the U.N. and the G20 conferences have given President Obama new avenues to scare the American people. We thought it was bad when he was forcing his healthcare plan down out throats in order to take control of our lives; now he is looking to disarm us while the rest of the world is nuking up, removing border patrol agents from out southern border, giving away control of our banking system to the G20 and starting his campaign for President of the World. The job of U.S. president is too small – apparently – so he is looking to appeal to the whole world to be THEIR president.
We were treated to breathless reporting as President Obama chaired the Security Council this week after another apology to the world for being… America. But, where was the press when he was promising to give up our nuclear arsenal or making plans to rid our southern border of 384 agents? We KNOW where they were. They were whoring their integrity for another story no one will read. The American people are choking on the sugarcoated love-fest our media is having with Obama and we are retching over the antics of the whole group.
There seems to be a total disconnect from reality by our current administration. While we are in a deep recession they are calling for tax hikes and crippling social programs. As the world is nuking up and preparing to attack we are dismantling our arsenals. The administration is determined to buy into the discredited Global Warming fiasco while the world is catching us from behind in their consumption of oil and coal. This administration is totally out of step with the realities of the world and our own society and they are determined to stay that way. It is their vision of a changed America into a country where we are all the same, where there is no ‘exceptionalism,’ and achievers are punished. In that kind of America we would only be as strong as our weakest link and our country would start to stall and quickly drop into an unrecoverable nosedive. Their vision only can exist in a vacuum where control is supreme and those out of step are forced back into line at the point of a gun. The only one who stood up to the U.N. and called them what they are was the Prime Minister of Israel. He was the only one who was not afraid to go to the U.N. and tell them they are a bunch of hypocrites – among other things. He was willing to stand up for his country – while we here in the U.S. were treated to a round of watching our own president stand there and tell the world how rotten we are. Really? Then go live somewhere that you ARE proud of, Mr. Obama. Sooner rather than later while we still have an America to save. But we know that won’t happen… the vision of Mr. Obama is to do just that… destroy the America we all know and love.

Obama The Empty Suit President

We are seeing the rise of the Empty Suit President. Never before in the history of the United States of America has there been such a time as this. Bill Clinton tried, but he lacked the resolve to see it all the way through. Clinton loved to be loved and adored, and as a result he was unwilling to trade that popularity for his agenda. Instead Clinton chose to inch away at the agenda while compromising it to stay loved. Obama is unwilling to make those same compromises. He carries a deep animosity toward this country, its history and its people and he wants to change it all to fit his new image of us all. When he campaigned on ‘hope and change’ his vision was different from most of those who voted for him.
There is NOTHING this man stands WITH America FOR. Not most of us, anyway. His vision is to change this country into something different than what we were before he came along. If we as a country are destroyed in the process to reach his goals, all the better – in his eyes. In his vision we are deserving of everything bad that happens to us because of our history – a history that no one alive today had anything to do with. Of course, that is irrelevant in his eyes.
Removing the missile defense systems from Eastern Europe is not a major move on the international chessboard, the system is not that critical – except that it sends a signal to the world that the United States is backing down. Those systems were to be put in place as a counter-move to the invasion of Georgia by the Russians. We are sending a signal to the world that we’re no longer willing to back up that move. If the Russians decide they want to take back any of their former states we – through Obama – are not going to be there to defend them or to put any REAL pressure on the Russian leadership.Removing that missile system is probably a good move. It would be a waste of money, anyway, if it was there. As are the rest of our defense systems as long as we have an Obama White House in place. The man lacks the resolve – good old-fashioned balls – to use them anyway. He is more than willing to stomp all over the American people for his own aggrandizement, but to stand up to our enemies or the enemies of the world in the name of humanity the man has no balls. Those systems are worthless as long as Obama is in the White House – and the forces of Evil in the world have now seen they have the run of the world until he leaves.

Van Jones Should Stay

There are a lot of things in Washington that people should be fired for, but Van Jones stepping down over calling Republicans a--holes is not one of them. Maybe for being careless enough to be caught on video saying it, but certainly not for doing it. Come on!!! What have we sunk to in this country?? Is he the first – or the last – person to call the opposition party a name?? I doubt it. I know MY kids thought the Democrat Party had another name before it for YEARS… until they got old enough to understand that the word I was inserting before Democrat was not part of the party name. All he was doing was giving his honest opinion of the opposition party.
I disagree with Mr. Jones on about every level of political discourse, including his opinion of Republicans (I happen to think it applies to his own party), but I don’t think he should resign over it.
I don’t know Mr. Jones personally, but maybe he IS doing the right thing. If a small matter like this is enough to get him to step aside, what’s going to happen when he shows up in the Oval Office for his job performance rating? When the president asks him how many ‘green jobs’ he created so it can be put in the teleprompter for the next speech the president gives and Mr. Jones has to admit there are actually LESS green jobs out there now than before and the president goes ballistic, it might be better he goes now than later. At least now he can say he is resigning for political expediency. Later he has to admit he failed at his job and was fired. This incident will DEFINITELY look better on his resume than ‘got fired for failing to do my job.’ After all, we KNOW he’d put getting fired for failing to do his job on his resume… he’s the only HONEST Democrat we’ve found in YEARS!!!
