Pork Buys Votes

Monday, December 21st, 2009

  All stops pulled with ramming this health care bill through by Christmas.  Gotta make the promises look better before the year is over.  Business as usual.  Pork is buying the votes.  An article in The New York Times today tells the story of the hidden pork that is pushing through Obamacare.  Is this version of […]

Another Bow By Obama

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Obama’s low bow to the Japanese emperor Saturday is another low blow to the American people.  You would think after his bow to the King of Saudi, he might have learned just how inappropriate that is.   This is the first time in the history of the United States that our president has shown subservience to […]

President’s Daughters Left Behind

Sunday, August 16th, 2009

There’s an article in today’s New York Times about Obama’s latest campaign tour work tour to Yellowstone National Park.  What the article doesn’t tell you is that everyone including security packed up and left while Obama’s daughters were still at the lodge.  Someone finally did remember and came back for them, but is this an example of […]

A Note of Importance

Friday, May 29th, 2009

I just read a thought provoking post at The Babbling Brooks.  It stated some disturbing comparisons.  Obama promised us change.  I think most people don’t have a clue as to just how much change he may have planned.  Even with all he’s changed all ready, too many still don’t see the big picture of where […]

NIMBY

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

The old “not in my backyard” rule wins out over shutting down Gitmo.  The Senate voted overwhelmingly today to deny funding for President Obama’s plan to close the Guantanamo Bay prison.  A vote of 90-6 represented a setback for him.  Obama used the closing of Gitmo as part of his campaign promises and signed an […]

Obama Blasted

Friday, May 8th, 2009

Obama’s first babystep towards trimming the budget upset his democrats.  His proposal to cut $17 billion from 121 government programs is such a tiny bit compared to the trillions he’s adding to the budget, but it cuts pork and entitlement programs, as well as 14 defense programs.  Of course, we don’t really need these defense programs if […]

You Took My Job!

Friday, May 1st, 2009

Obama still wants to give illegal immigrants a “pathway” to become legal.  I’m sorry, but that pathway should have started at the border.  Instead, they enter illegaly and continue to break the law on a daily basis.  I know that Obama wanted the Hispanic vote and a good way to get it is to tell […]

Even Obama Got Tired

Monday, March 16th, 2009

of the spending sprees of American International Group.  It’s very frustrating to taxpayers to see bailout and stimulus money used for parties and employee bonuses.  It’s even more irritating to those of us who are stuck with our 401k plans being “managed” by a company who has shown such a lack of concern regarding their […]

Trying to Escape the White House

Monday, March 9th, 2009

After working so hard to get into the White house, Obama seems to be doing anything and everything he can to get out. Very interesting.  The following is an excerpt from The Washington Post. Friends and advisers said Obama has chafed at some aspects of his presidential existence. He campaigned tirelessly for 18 months to reach […]

A Mixed Bag

Monday, January 26th, 2009

Washington’s a mixed bag right now.  Some things make me smile.  Others feel a little scary.  But it’s early, so we need to give Obama more time to see where things will go.  It appears that just about everything will go whichever way he decides they should go, since he has majority rule in the […]
