History Review : LIBERALS WELCOME
" The hard fact is that so long as Saddam remains in power, he threatens the well-being of his people, the peace of his region, the security of the World. The best way to end that threat once and for all is with a new Iraqi government- a government ready to live in peace with its neighbors, a government that respects the rights of its people....
Heavy as they are, the costs of action must be weighed against the price of inaction. If Saddam defies the world and we fail to respond, we will face a far greater threat in the future. Saddam will strike again at his neighbors. He will make war on his own people. And mark my words, he will develop weapons of mass destruction. He will deploy them, and he will use them."
-President Bill Clinton. from the Oval office December 1998

In Washington DC America no longer matters and Character no longer counts.
176 years. 176 years is the combined total of years that Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters have been in politics. That's too long.
Waters and Rangel are currently under ethics investigations but The White House is holding off til AFTER NOVEMBER.
176 years....and that's only 4 people.
Now you know why I'm for term limits.
There are NOW MORE GOVERNMENT JOBS THAN ANY OTHER TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES...and more than the private sector. That's absurd when you think about it. How many jobs should YOUR TAXES pay for anyway ?
How's your job going ?
How's your country going ?

Chilean miners' incredible rescue
God bless the Chilean miners who held it together while waiting. Some people come apart when they're stuck in traffic for an hour never mind being stuck at the center of the earth for two months. Kudos to the president of Chile and the rescuers who teamed up with NASA and a Pennsylvania drill bit maker to bring the miners back. The Chilean President didn't yap about whos "ass he was gonna kick"-he just got his own ass to where the crisis was and handled it. LEADERSHIP doesn't need a teleprompter.

"Don't make me look bad now....I'm betting on you"- Barack Obama Oct 7, 2010
Barack Obama has always thought it was all about him...whether it's a book or a speech.
But yesterday maybe he was onto something when instead of blaming George Bush for making him look bad, he thought he'd take a shot at the voters. "Don't make ME look bad NOW....I'M betting on you." Almost. So close.
perhaps maybe even on his way..... to admitting he's making things much worse- ...nope.
"Don't make me look bad NOW.."
Too late.
I guess it's up to us to save the President's political career. I'll get right on that.
The president was elected November 2008.
Check your calenders.
Don't make him look bad ?
Federal spending is up 9%
The Obama administration is suing Arizona ....no clear reason.
Don't make him look bad ?
National unemployment is 9.6- GALLUP says real number is 10.1
Don't make him look bad ?
Food stamps and Forclosures in the U.S.- set all time record last month
Don't make Obama look bad ?
18 months to rack up the highest deficit in our nation's history
Obamacare numbers released: they dont add up and 1/2 of the selling points were fake.
A dozen states are suing over it.
Don't make Obama look bad ?
Too late. Barack Obama looks bad....and not the Michael Jackson good bad.
In 18 months the President has gone from blaming Bush in every speech to shifting the blame to
the American voter.
Last week he said there was a "Democrat enthusiasm gap"
One nation under Obama
- Is that really something to be enthusiastic about ?

Barack Obama's Backyard Canard
He's back ! ..and he's bigger than ever ? Not really. President Obama is taking his low approval ratings on the road as he starts his 2012 presidential campaign. He's taking some time off from the golf course to visit backyard BBQs and talk with the "folks".
Yes he can -because you're paying for it.
It's the YAWN ON THE LAWN. Over the next 5 weeks we'll find out if America's most likable liar is still the worlds most lovable leftist. Probably not. Here's why: The Obamacare con has been exposed . Backyard photo ops will not change the fact that premiums are going up and up and up and will climb higher than ever before for most people, you will not be able to keep your own insurance and doctors are already dropping medicare. One by one...now that more Americans and the Democrats have actually read the LAW, the scam of those 2700 plus pages is being exposed. Why is there a 3.8 % real estate tax in there and why are college loans taken over by the government ? Why do I want my 26 year old on my insurance again ? Because Obama says he's a child ? The Obama administration knew that Obamacare would actually RAISE COSTS according to the congressional budget office yet they continued to lie to shove it down our throats. Americans can read.
But enough about THAT government takeover. How's the economy Mr. President ?...would you like another hot dog, can I get you a soda ? So glad you came by our backyard to use us as a prop for your campaign. We remember when you did that with doctors and nurses .
Now that Obama has been to church FIVE times this year, he's talking about Jesus a lot. So just to be clear , The President is in our back yard, with the biggest deficit in history, 10% plus unemployement rates in major cities and states across the country, highest home foreclosure rates since 1963, two wars, a failed economic plan,the U.S. government is now the country's largest employer, and he's still blaming Bush AND.....
yesterday he asked Americans to stick with him because more change is comin'. And now he's talking about his relationship with Jesus - BUT Obama was the first president since Truman to NOT recognize the National Day of Prayer at The White House.
No You Can't

OBAMA's actions Speak Louder than his words ...and that's his problem.
That's been Obama's problem since day one. He says one thing, writes something else in his books, voted another way, then shows up at Martha's Vinyard in time to walk back a statement he made about something he said he wrote.
Ever since Barack was a young whatever whenever "back in the day" -
the American people have no dates, no times, no passport, no college transcripts, no yearbooks and the only written record of Barack Hussain Obama are two books he wrote and a bunch of speeches his speechwriter's wrote. These speeches by the way sound a lot like the speeches that were written for his friend Deval Patrick (Gov of Mass.) You read them and decide;
Just because the same people wrote them and they might sound the same-
anyway ever since back in the day show me 3 facts in a row that line up about Barack Obama. And now we're expected to believe this man is forthcoming about who he is religiously ?
Let's go purely on President Obama's actions on the "Muslim" thing and see why 18% of the American people believe he is a Muslim. Could it be because his father was a Muslim from Kenya and his mom from Kansas did not practice a religion? Could it be his knowledge of the Quora'n and his ability to recite phrases from it ? Or is it the fact he said "IF YOU TOOK THE NUMBER OF MUSLIM AMERICANS, AMERICA WOULD BE ONE OF THE LARGEST MUSLIM NATIONS IN THE WORLD.
43 % of Americans say they don't know his religion. Could this be that although he says he prays everyday, he was the first president since Truman not to have a White House National Day of Prayer event yet the prayer mats were out just last month?
According to Pew research, 43 % of blacks and 46 % of Democrats say he is a Christian
18% of Independents say he's a Muslim. Overall 34% of Americans think our President is a Christian.
48% of Americans say that Obama relies on his religion the right amount when he uses it. Remember Obama says he prays every day. Bush said the same. 53% said this about Bush in 2004 according to Pew research.
52% of Americans say churches should stay away form politics.
WHY SHOULD YOU CARE ? Considering the garbage that is dumped on Christians worldwide and in America on a regular basis for wanting to do things like manger displays ,saying Christmas, posting the Ten Commandments and the more radical Christians who think that killing a baby is killing a baby, Do you think the radical version of a religion like Islam being linked to the leader of the free world might be a problem ? I do.
Besides the fact that our armed forces are fighting terrorist cells comprised of Radical Muslims , the lack of clarity on this issue with President Barack Hussain Obama is not good for our country. The Pew report goes onto say that Muslims in the United Stated comprise only .1 % of our population. But mosque construction is at an all time high in America.
Our President should stop Apologizing for America. And start asking questions of a religion that tortures women ,blows up schools/ malls and cuts off people's heads....as part of a strategy. THAT is Radical Muslim.
President Obama needs to get his priorities straight. I don't care who he prays to or where he went to school to study Muslim . He's not the president of the world or a mosque.
