Announces Troop Surge, Withdrawal, Welcomes Taliban To The Table In Same Speech
One can only describe Obama’s speech at West Point yesterday as a stunning failure.
As the television camera’s panned back and forth across the Cadets at West Point it was obvious that not only were they not impressed by the cheese eating surrender monkey in chief, they clearly recognized that this “President” was surrendering to the Taliban and Al-Qaeda terrorist organizations by announcing a withdrawal from Afghanistan in mid 2011. It didn’t matter that the West Point Cadets were instructed by the West Point leadership to “respond enthusiastically” to Obama’s speech, they recognized surrender when they saw it and reacted accordingly.
Forget the fact that Obama announced a troop “surge” of 30,000 troops over 6 months (averaging 5,000 a month) up to June of 2010, completing the “build up” one year before his announced withdrawal starting in June of 2011, just in time for Obama to begin his campaign for re-election. Great, let’s march our best and brightest into enemy territory only to have them march right back out a year later, and lesser in numbers.
The announcement of the ‘surge’ was completely overshadowed by Obama’s proclamation that he would welcome the Taliban to the negotiating table as long as they ‘rejected violence.’ These are the same Taliban that gave Osama Bin Laden safe haven before and after the 9-11-01 attacks on this country in which more than 3,000 people were brutally murdered in the largest terrorist attack not just on American soil, but in the history of Bin Laden’s al-Qaeda terrorist organization.
This “President” wants to give the Taliban a place at the table in Afghanistan’s government? Surrender by any other name is still Surrender and you just know that somewhere that terrorist enabling Jimmy Carter is smiling in approval.
Rasmussen had an interesting poll yesterday which showed 71% of all American's are "angry" at their Government, saying it's moving in the wrong direction. 46% are "very angry" that the government is moving in the wrong direction while 27% aren't angry at all about "government policies."
So why are the overwhelming majority of so mad?
Let's start with the basics. 10.2% unemployment on average in this country and rising. Some parts of the country are over 11% and 12%. Parts of Michigan exceed 20%. Real Unemployment, which counts those that have exhausted benefits, fallen off the unemployment rolls, or are under-employed in part-time positions averages 17.5%. That's near Depression Era levels, and the highest it's been since the malaise days and mixery index of Jimmy Carter.
Out of control government spending. The Obama Administration pissed away $1.5 TRILLION dollars in unaccounted for, wasteful "stimulus" spending that didn't produce a single job, and Congressional earmarks for their own favorite pet projects on top of that.
Government bailouts of the banks, automobile industries which cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars ON TOP OF the $1.5 TRILLION above.
Government attempting to seize our Health Care system, ration care, and implement death panels, putting Grrandma and Grandpa at risk by cutting Medicare to the tune of $500,000,000 over the next ten years.
Cap & Trade, which will further kill the economy.
Health Care Taxes, and prison for those who don't buy health care.
Democrats renewing the 'promise' to naturalize nearly 20,000,000 illegal aliens in this country.
A world spinning out of control with a President embracing every third-world tyrant from Ahmedinejad in Iran to Hugo Chavez in Venezuela while simultaneously pissing off the one Democracy in the middle east, Israel.
Frittering away America's best and brightest in Iraq and Afghanistan, dithering on increasing troop counts while our troops die in Afghanistan needlessly.
A nuclear Iran, nuclear North Korea, fully backed by Russia and China respectively.
And finally, bringing the terrorists who helped plan and execute the largest attack ever on American soil to New York City to face trial in a criminal court, rather than subjecting them to military justice as the enemy combatants they are. Giving American's civil rights to terrorists goes against every Constitutional principle most right thinking American's hold dear.
Sure we're mad as hell, and it's this worthless piece of crap President that's pissing us all off. That's the hidden message you won't see in these "polls." You will however see the building rage in this country demonstrated in the ballot box in November 2010.
As things stand today, we now know that two "climatologists" are at the heart of the Global "Warming" fiasco of which Al Gore has financially benefitted from the last 10 years with his "carbon credit" scheme.
First there is Michael Mann, the Associate Professor at Pennsylvania State University in the Department of Meteorology adn Earth and Environmental Systems Institute, also the Director of the University's Inter-Departmental Earth System Science Center.
Second is Britain's leading climate "scientist" Phil Jones who along with Mann published more than 100 "peer reviewed articles" on global warming.
As I've gone through the emails over the last week, there are two names that are repeatedly mentioned in how "scientists" are to correct their own data, thus showing the "hockey stick effect" which "proves global warming: Mann and Jones.
We now know that global warming is a Mann made hoax, perpetrated on Governments for continued research funding (read that: tax payer dollars) and as a way to "control" the population of the planet.
Perhaps "hoax" isn't the right word, as it implies "humor" or "fun" and there is no fun to be had in adopting the "recommendations" that the global warming alarmists want to impose on the rest of us.
"Crime against all humanity" is a better term for what Mann and Jones have tried to pull off. I certainly like that better. So why has the liberal lamestream media continued to ignore a story that's almost a week old on the 'net? Facts are pesky things, and this whole climate-gate stuff is pretty difficult to understand, much like Watergate was during the Nixon Administration, so allow me to simplify it:
It's not the crime, it's the cover-up.
In deliberately using false data, and covering their tracks with 'peer reviews', refusal to respond to Freedom of Information Acts, destroying emails and other damn'ing data, and ostracising those who disagreed with their "scientific" approach, Mann and Jones have managed to criminally affect national and global policies that impact all nations economies to the cost of trillions of dollars in reduced wages, productivity and revenues to governments.
Obama Environmental Czar John Holdren Implicated In Scandal
Perhaps the most troubling aspect of the Mann made global warming hoax is Obama Environmental Czar John Holdren's role in it all as his name appears in several emails stating that those who disagreed with 'global warming' would be made into 'raw entertainment' for the rest of the scientific community.
Holdren is well known for his totalitarian views on forced abortions and mass sterilization to "save the planet." Most recently, Holdren advocated for a transnational "Planetary Regime" that would take control of the global economy, dictating the most intimate details of Americans' lives -- using an armed international police force.
Holdren's other claims in the past have included that the world is running out of oil in his 1971 Sierra Club book, Energy: A Crisis in Power, Holdren declared that "it is fair to conclude that under almost any assumptions, the supplies of crude petroleum and natural gas are severely limited. The bulk of energy likely to flow from these sources may have been tapped within the lifetime of many of the present population." In addition to his early formed radical views on forced abortions and sterilization, he also advocated for centralized, global economic planning to "minimize impacts to the planet" through "The Limits to Growth" club, of which he was a founding member.
You might think that Holdren's views would be impossible to impose but that would be incorrect as this has been the goal of global warming alarmists all along: change the way people live, produce and procreate.
Where's Glenn Beck on this, by the way? I'd have thought he'd be railing against Holdren on TV by now.
What Will Obama Do in Copenhagen?
Now that "global warming" has been proven to be a fraud perpetrated on all humanity, what type of "bowing" will Obama do for the rest of the world in Copenhagen?
According to the Los Angeles Tiems Greenspace blog:
The White House will also announce today that the United States will commit, in the talks, to reduce its emissions of the heat-trapping gases scientists blame for global warming "in the range of" 17 percent below 2005 levels by 2020, the official said. That's the target set out in the climate bill the House passed in June.
White House officials said the decision to attend came after productive climate discussions between Obama and the heads of China and India, two developing nations whose participation is seen as critical to any successful effort to avert catastrophic climate change."
The Obama Administration is either behind the times or is deliberately ignoring the breaking climate-gate fraud as they attempt to further destroy the American Economy by implementing more taxes and expanding the size of the Federal Government in the largets power grab by the Fed's in the country's history.
Is Obama dumb enough to let climate-gate damage him? I suspect he is, the power hungry arrogant bastard that he is.
Five Aussie MP's Resign Over Carbon Tax
The ETS is Australia’s version of America’s proposed Cap and Trade and the EU’s various carbon reduction schemes: a way of taxing business on its CO2 output.
Though the ETS squeaked narrowly through Australia’s House of Representatives, its Senate is proving more problematic – thanks not least to the widespread disgust by the many Senators who have read Professor Plimer’s book Heaven And Earth at the dishonesty and corruption of the Global Warming industry. If the Senate keeps rejecting the scheme, then the Australian government will be forced to dissolve.
Editor: If only the U.S. Congress had such integrity.
In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast which is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies.
Although this feast is considered by many to the very first Thanksgiving celebration, it was actually in keeping with a long tradition of celebrating the harvest and giving thanks for a successful bounty of crops. Native American groups throughout the Americas, including the Pueblo, Cherokee, Creek and many others organized harvest festivals, ceremonial dances, and other celebrations of thanks for centuries before the arrival of Europeans in North America.
Historians have also recorded other ceremonies of thanks among European settlers in North America, including British colonists in Berkeley Plantation, Virginia. At this site near the Charles River in December of 1619, a group of British settlers led by Captain John Woodlief knelt in prayer and pledged "Thanksgiving" to God for their healthy arrival after a long voyage across the Atlantic. This event has been acknowledged by some scholars and writers as the official first Thanksgiving among European settlers on record. Whether at Plymouth, Berkeley Plantation, or throughout the Americas, celebrations of thanks have held great meaning and importance over time. The legacy of thanks, and particularly of the feast, have survived the centuries as people throughout the United States gather family, friends, and enormous amounts of food for their yearly Thanksgiving meal.
The most detailed description of the "First Thanksgiving" comes from Edward Winslow from A Journal of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, in 1621:
"Our harvest being gotten in, our governor sent four men on fowling, that so we might after a special manner rejoice together after we had gathered the fruit of our labors. They four in one day killed as much fowl as, with a little help beside, served the company almost a week. At which time, among other recreations, we exercised our arms, many of the Indians coming amongst us, and among the rest their greatest king Massasoit, with some ninety men, whom for three days we entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed five deer, which they brought to the plantation and bestowed upon our governor, and upon the captain, and others. And although it be not always so plentiful as it was at this time with us, yet by the goodness of God, we are so far from want that we often wish you partakers of our plenty."
Today in the spirit of the first Pilgrims where ever you are and whatever your circumstance, with a peaceful heart and courage of conviction I wish you and yours God's blessings for peace, prosperity, and a bountiful harvest of his love and mercy.
We live in a time of economic distress and uncertainty that this Great Nation has not seen in a very long time and we know this will not last forever. I know there are so many out there suffering today who through no fault of their own have lost their jobs, homes and in some cases their families too. I pray that each and everyone of you know in your heart that as in times of trial in the past, this great country and her people have shown its resiliency time and again and rediscovered their greatness together.
Almighty God being on our side, that time will come again as sure as the sun will rise this morning.
Obama’s Support Drops Precipitously Across Most Categories
As if the Rasmussen polling data showing Obama’s negatives at –15 yesterday wasn’t bad enough, Gallup released a poll showing Obama’s support across every category except one dropping since taking office.
I guess we’re all racists now. Funny how that term has completely lost its meaning and impact now that Jimmy Carter v. 2.0 has dithered his way through destroying our economy and the war effort in Afghanistan.
The one category that Obama didn’t lose support in, was amongst Black American’s, where he went from 90% approval to 91% approval.
At the end of the day, the core demographics that make up the base of Obama’s support, Blacks, Women, young adults 18 – 29 and College educated show huge erosions in three of the four major demographics.
In the liberal East and Midwest, Obama’s support has dropped nearly one-fifth due to his job killing, tax and spend, bigger government proposals.
While Obama’s personal popularity may remain high, what this poll shows is the decline in approval for the job he’s doing in office. The Democrats and their Obama Approved Media continue to fail at making this important distinction, which is why we felt it necessary to point it out to you, our reader today.
No doubt Jeff Cox at CNBC is going to be in big trouble for this: telling the truth about the REAL Unemployment Rate in the United States.
According to the U-6 number, which was created in 1994 by the Clinton Administration, one in five American’s is either completely out of work, is under-employed or has fallen off the unemployment rolls.
The unemployment rate reported by the Bureau of Labor & Statistics, commonly referred to as the U-3 number is 10.2%, but doesn’t count those under-employed, have exhausted their benefits or have simply “given up.”
Many believe their jobs aren’t coming back, and probably for good reason: starting in 2000, 40% of all new jobs created were related to real estate. This means attorneys, mortgage brokers, bankers, construction workers, appliance manufacturers and more.
Does this mean a ‘jobless recovery’ is on the horizon? Very likely the answer is YES.
"Workers are unemployed for a much longer span than we've seen historically," says David Resler, chief economist at Nomura Securities International in New York. "Part of that may be affected by the longer availability of benefits. It reduces the incentives for an urgent job search."
There is little doubt in my mind that we’ve yet to see how severe this recession has been, or is going to be in the long-term. High unemployment puts pressure on consumers, who drive 70% or more of all economic activity in the U.S. to cut spending and reduce debt for fear of losing their own jobs.
When will the jobs return? Most experts predict it will be a decade or longer until the jobs market sees 4.5% unemployment as we did under the Bush Administration.
More proof that the Democrat Party is waging political and economic jihad against American’s, a new poll shows that a small minority of American’s support “health care reform” as proposed by Barack Hussein Obama and the Democrat Congress.
That’s the lowest level of support measured since June.
The same poll shows that 56% of American’s now strongly oppose the plan, with the remaining 6% “undecided.”
The poll by the way was conducted before the Senate voted on a 2,024 page monstrosity that strips American’s choice in health care, implements the “death panels” that Sarah Palin accurately referred to, strips $500 billion dollars from Medicare which covers America’s Senior Citizens.
Yes, they are most certainly coming for Grandma, and they want her dead. The proof is in the legislation. (See Sunday’s entry for all the new taxes!)
Obama Approval Plummets Below 30%
As Obama enters Carter Administration popularity territory, new polling data shows that Obama’s ‘strong approval’ rating has plummeted 10 points in the last 30 days to 28%.
Obama’s popularity has sunk below George W. Bush’s in this latest poll, and is approaching Jimmy Carter territory of 22% at the lowest point in Carter’s Presidency.
Among men, Obama’s approval rating index is –20. For the first time in his Presidency, Obama has had double-digit negatives for nine straight days which include the period right before and after the Senate’s vote on Saturday night to seize control of the nation’s health care.
Voters Want Tax Cuts, Less Government Spending
Voters Best Equipped To Fix Economy
In another poll by Rasmussen, more than 62% of American voters said that the Obama Administration’s plans to “fix the economy” are on the wrong track, and that tax cuts with reduced government spending is the cure. Only 21% believe more government spending and increased taxes are the way to go.
Additionally, more than 50% now want the remaining “Economic Stimulus” spending cancelled, citing government spending as one of the reasons the recession continues to linger.
Is this any surprise? Every time tax cuts have been implemented to spur economic growth, it’s worked. There has never been a government or country in the history of civilization that managed to tax and spend its way into prosperity.
Never.
For the so-called “smartest President in history” to not understand this speaks volumes as to how “smart” he really is.
New Taxes In Senate Passed Bill Will Kill Economy, Jobs, Destroy America
Last night the Democrat Controlled United States Senate passed so-called “health care reform” legislation that will kill the American economy. The vote was party line, all 60 Democrats committing political and economic jihad against the American people.
Here are some of the taxes we could find in the bill. These new taxes were written so cryptically, a non-legal person couldn’t determine where their impact would be felt, but you our reader must understand this: All new taxes that ANY business pays are passed onto the end consumer. The effect of these taxes will have one effect on all Americans: RAISE PRICES.
Individual Mandate Tax (Page 324/Sec. 1501/$8 bil) This is the expected “revenue” the Government expects to generate by imposing FINES on those who don’t purchase health care insurance.
Employer Mandate Tax (Page 348/Sec. 1513/$28 bil) Straight up, this is a tax on all employers who pay for health care insurance for their employees.
Excise Tax on Comprehensive Health Insurance Plans (Page 1979/Sec. 9001/$149.1 bil) For those with comprehensive health care plans (including medical, dental, vision) you get to pay higher premiums via this new tax because of this “benefit".
Employer Reporting of Insurance on W-2 (Page 1996/Sec. 9002/Min$)
Medicine Cabinet Tax (Page 1997/Sec. 9003/$5 bil) Are they serious? What is this, people with medicine cabinets will pay a new tax? Who’s going to enforce this? Will there be home inspections?
Corporate 1099-MISC Information Reporting (Page 1999/Sec. 9006/$17.1 bil) For those who receive 1099’s for income or work, you’ll be paying new tax so the Government can “process” your 1099 to figure out how much you should be paying for health care insurance.
Excise Tax on Charitable Hospitals (page 2001/Sec. 9007/Min$) This will absolutely KILL charitable contributions to hospitals, who must now pay TAXES on all contributions they receive. This also removes the tax benefit of contributing to these organizations if a taxpayer makes more than $200,000 a year – the primary donor class to Charitable hospitals!
Tax on Innovator Drug Companies (Page 2010/Sec. 9008/ $22.2 bil) This new tax will kill all new drug development in this country, period.
Tax of Medical Device Manufacturers (Page 2020/Sec. 9009/$19.3 bil) Need a pacemaker? This tax means you’ll pay more for it. Same for orthodics, crutches, braces, implants, etc..
Tax on Health Insurers (Page 2026/Sec. 9010/$60.4 bil) This new tax is just because the Government could pass it on those evil insurance companies! The result is you and I are going to pay higher premiums to those same evil insurance companies to make up the difference so they can continue paying claims to their insured! Once again, all costs of doing business – including taxes – are always passed onto the end consumer. That’s basic College Business 101.
Eliminate tax deduction for employer-provided retirement Rx drug coverage in coordination with Medicare Part D (Page 2034/Sec. 9012/$5.4 bil)
Raise “Haircut” for Medical Itemized Deduction from 7.5% to 10% of AGI (Page 2034/Sec. 9013/$15.2 bil) This is a tax hike on those of us with pre-existing conditions. Raising the itemized deduction to 10% of Adjusted Gross Income means more people will not qualify for the deduction making this a net tax HIKE on those with pre-existing conditions. Talk about a slap in the face! Were’nt we the ones the Government was supposed to protect?
$500,000 Annual Executive Compensation Limit for Health Insurance Executives (Page 2035/Sec. 9014/$0.6 bil)
Hike in Medicare Payroll Tax (Page 2040/Sec. 9015/$53.8 bil) A new tax on ALL WORKING AMERICANS, just because the Government can.
Blue Cross/Blue Shield Tax Hike (Page 2044/Sec. 9016/$0.4 bil)
Tax on Cosmetic Medical Procedures (Page 2045/Sec. 9017/$5.8 bil)
Now here are the ones we COULD understand:
An excise tax of 40 percent would be levied on insurance companies for health plans with annual premiums above $8,300 for individuals and $23,000 for families. This means that Insurance Companies will have to raise their rates to end consumers in order to pay the new tax to the Federal Government, and protect their profits (so they can continue to pay claims.)
For people in high-risk professions or who live in high-premium states, the excise tax kicks in at annual premiums of $11,300 for individuals and $26,000 for families. This is a TAX INCREASE on those in high-risk professions.
Raises the Medicare payroll tax to 1.95 percent from current 1.45 percent for individuals earning $200,000 or more and couples earning $250,000. Anyone who believes this is a “tax the rich’ only proposal is sadly mistaken. When the Government realizes this doesn’t generate enough “revenue” this tax will apply to EVERY WORKING AMERICAN.
Health insurance providers collectively would pay an annual fee of $6.7 billion starting in 2010. The fee would be allocated by companies' market share. As with all costs of doing business, expect this tax increase on Health Insurers to be passed onto the end consumer in the form of higher premiums.
Pharmaceutical companies collectively would pay an annual fee of $2.3 billion, allocated by market share. As all costs of doing business are passed onto the end consumer, this means higher prescription costs for all Americans.
Medical device makers collectively would pay an annual fee of $2 billion, allocated by market share. Some items sold at retail for less than $100 would be exempted from the fee calculation. Need a pacemaker or other surgical implant? Expect to pay more for it because of these new government taxes.
Imposes a 5 percent tax on elective cosmetic surgery. This is the “Botox Tax” which was specifically put in for Nancy Pelosi. Now this is one tax increase this writer supports!
Despite Cloture Win, ObamaCare Has A Long Way To Go
Thanks to Freedom’s Lighthouse, here’s the process Obama’s DeathCare has to go through before it becomes law. With a fractious Democrat Caucus threatening to with-hold votes if one provision or another is in the bill, there’s still a chance this monstrosity won’t pass:
Step 1 Senators debate the bill and offer amendments to change or remove provisions they oppose, or to add provisions. Step 2 Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell may come to an agreement on the number of amendments to be offered and the time allocated for debate. If they don't reach an accord, Reid may use parliamentary devices to limit the number of amendments. In 2008, Reid used a procedural tactic called "filling the tree" more than 20 times to block Republican amendments. Step 3 Senate rules allow for unlimited debate in most cases. Prolonged debate in order to force changes in a bill or to scuttle a bill is called a "filibuster." Step 4 The Senate votes on a motion to bring debate to an end. This is called "invoking cloture." If three-fifths of the senators (60 senators) vote for the cloture motion, debate must last no more than an additional 30 hours. Step 5 The Senate votes on final passage of its bill. A simple majority is sufficient to pass the bill. Step 6 House and Senate leaders meet to resolve differences between the bill passed by the House and the one passed by the Senate. Step 7 House and Senate leaders appoint a conference committee of several members from each body to reconcile the two bills. Important bills are frequently rewritten in conference, or killed because the conferees fail to settle their differences. Meetings of the conference committee are often secret. Step 8 Senators opposed to the bill may filibuster the motion to create a conference committee. A cloture vote would be needed to stop the filibuster. Step 9 If the conferees resolve their differences, they issue what is called a "conference report" -- the final version of the legislation. Step 10 The conference report is debated in the House and in the Senate. It cannot be amended. Step 11 Senators opposed to the conference report can filibuster it. A cloture vote would be needed to stop the filibuster. Step 12 In the House, Republican members opposed to the conference report can offer a "motion to re-commit," essentially one last-chance vote to kill or amend the bill. Step 13 Each chamber votes on approval of the conference report. If approved, the legislation goes to Obama for his signature or veto.
Mary Landrieu – the $300,000,000 whore. At least the whore knew her price.
Party’s Over For Obama
As Senate Vote Nears, Popularity Plummets
Recent Gallup and Rasmussen polling data shows that Obama’s popularity has dipped to 48%, plummeting 4% in just one week.
More and more American’s are waking up to Obama’s radical-left agenda which seeks to take away their liberties – and money – to fund an increasing government incursion into their daily lives.
Obama’s fall appears to be shocking the liberal left which has done all it can to give Obama positive spin in the lamestream media while ignoring the negative coverage in Afghanistan, the war Obama said we “must win.”
Government may want “universal health care” but clearly the American Public does not, with 54% opposed and only 33% in favor of. Yet it seems the Democrats are hell bent on committing political and economic jihad against the American People.
The Congress That Votes Against The Will of The American People Together, Will Suffer The Judgement of The American People Together.
There is little doubt in my mind at this point that the Democrat Controlled Senate is going to commit political jihad against the American People today and vote to subject us all to their will vis a vis Government Run “Health Care.”
We’ve seen the precursor already this week when a “Government Panel” recommended that mammograms not be routinely performed until a woman reaches age 50, which with Government run health care will condemn many women to death simply because they have the misfortune of having breast cancer before that age. My own sister who was thankfully diagnosed in the earliest stages when she was 36 years old, would’ve died under such “guidelines.” Thankfully through early detection she is still with us 14 years later.
My sisters story is not uncommon. I know so many families who’ve been touched, and decimated by the effects of breast cancer. Children who’ve been left without their mothers, husbands having to go it alone to raise them is just one of the tragedies that will no doubt occur under these “guidelines” once Government run health care is here.
Men, do you think you’re immune? Prostate cancer affects nearly 6 of 10 men at some point during our lives according to most readily available statistics. Just wait until the “government guidelines” come out and take away early testing and detection for us.
For all the ‘talk’ about how Government run health care is going to save lives through early detection and prevention, this Government is moving at light speed to take early detection and cure away.
So today, the Democrat controlled Senate is going to vote on seizing control of our lives. They have all the votes they need, 60, to achieve cloture (stop debate and fillibusters) and pass the legislation without a single Republican vote.
The Senate is doing this on a Saturday knowing full well the Capital switchboard is closed, so the American People cannot call and voice their opposition to this monstrosity, this “Obamanation” if you will. They don’t want to hear from you or I.
The Senate’s email gateways however, are fully up and running. As is their blackberry service, so we have a way in, to “reach out and touch them” with our message of opposition.
We caution you to not copy and paste the entire list into the TO, CC or BCC lines in your email client. Most ISP’s will detect the email as SPAM and block it, as will the Senate’s email gateway.
To maximize the chances of your email getting seen by human eyes, copy and paste ONE ADDRESS into the “To” line, and no more than five to seven in the “CC” line. Yes this means sending more than one email, but you’ll be achieving the desired outcome of your email actually being seen by human eyes.
The Senate can run from us today and refuse to take our phone calls, but they can’t hide from email on their blackberries all day.
This "President" is such a pompous, arrogant, self-absorbed JERK, everything is always all about him.
A Failed Presidency Is Now Assured
There can be no doubt that Obama's trip overseas to Asia has been a complete, total failure. His "bow" to the Japanese Prime Minister Akhito demonstrated not only Obama's ignorance of protocol in world leaders greeting each other, he presented America as a weekend state, subjugating itself to more "powerful" world leaders.
Seth Leibsohn writing in the National Review summarized it this way:
"This
is reminiscent of the Jimmy Carter years - the last time the U.S. was
seen as weak - unable to move and coax other countries, unable to
reassure dependent allies, unable to have the respect of the world and,
of course, unable to move the mullocracy of Iran."
Where oh where have you read the Obama Presidency being compared to the Jimmy Carter years?
Oh, that's right, this very blog!
The NYT reports: "China held firm against most American demands.
With China's micro-management of Mr. Obama's appearances in the
country, the trip did more to showcase China's ability to push back
against outside pressure than it did to advance the main issues on Mr.
Obama's agenda, analysts said."
The Washington Post: "If there
was any significant change during this trip, in fact, it was in the
United States' newly conciliatory and sometimes laudatory tone. . . .
Obama's trip stood in stark contrast to visits by his predecessors."
The Times stated that Obama was given "less respect than was given presidents Bush or Clinton."
Pretty stunning stuff coming from the lamestream media (a phrase coined by this writer in 1999) as it seems the rats are jumping the good ship Obama.
There's no question in my mind that the Obama Presidency is already over. Lest there be any doubt, watch what happens to "health care reform" in the Senate. Word in Washington DC is there are 40 Republican Senators steadfast in resolve in blocking the Harry Reid written 2,000+ page monstrosity which strips American's of our basic God given rights to manage our own health care.
There's also the Blue Dog Democrats who are watching Obama's popularity fade (hint: Obama's "strong approval" ratings are in Bush territory now) and it'll be unlikely that the Obama-Reid-Pelosi Congressional Mafia will be able to bribe their way into gaining enough support to break a fillibuster. Reid may have been able to pay off Mary Landrieu (D. Louisiana) with a cool $100,000,000 but the remaining Blue Dog's don't appear to be for sale. They see the polls and at this moment in their political careers which is the least dangerous for them: back Obama, or jump ship.
Here's the thing about it all: I'm not a fan of either party. They're all a bunch of scum-sucking bottom feeders who deserve to be tossed out of office in 2010 anyway. Those who may have an ice cubes chance in hell of keeping their seat are going to vote against the Obama-Reid-Pelosi seizure of American's health care. They see the writing on the wall and it isn't good.
Politico has a great column today about Independents leaving the Democrat party:
Mounting evidence that independent voters have soured on the Democrats is prompting a debate among party officials about what rhetorical and substantive changes are needed to halt the damage.
Following serious setbacks with independents in off-year elections earlier this month, White House officials attributed the defeats to local factors and said President Barack Obama sees no need to reposition his own image or the Democratic message.
Since then, however, a flurry of new polls makes clear that Democrats are facing deeper problems with independents—the swing voters who swung dramatically toward the party in 2006 and 2008 but who now are registering deep unease with the amount of spending and debt called for under Obama's agenda in an era of one-party rule in Washington.
A Gallup Poll released last week offered a disturbing glimpse about the state of play: just 14 percent of independents approve of the job Congress is doing, the lowest figure all year. In just the past few days alone, surveys have shown Democratic incumbents trailing Republicans among independent voters by double-digit margins in competitive statewide contests in places as varied as Connecticut, Ohio and Iowa.
Obama’s own popularity among independents has fallen significantly, too. A CBS News poll Tuesday showed the president’s approval rating among unaligned voters falling to 45 percent — down from 63 percent in April.
By redefining Islamist terrorists as "criminals", liberals have automatically retrofitted them with "victim" status, endowing them with all the rights and privileges granted to American street hoodlums. If the record is any indication, this is going to end far more badly than anyone can now foresee.
Criminal justice reform was a major pillar of liberal utopianism during the postwar period. American liberals wanted to "humanize" the treatment of criminals, under the impression that this would in and of itself end crime. As in so much else involving the liberal program, criminal justice reform was a wish-fulfillment daydream carried out without adequate research or foresight. (I devote a chapter to the topic in my upcoming book, Death by Liberalism.)
Barack Hussein Obama, the Democrat Controlled Congress, the Fed and the Treasury are spending your money like drunken sailors!

2,000,000+ Patriots Attended and the Media Ignored It. No Wonder No One Watches ABCCBSNBCCNNCNBCMSNBC Anymore.
What's happened since Barak Hussein Obama became President and the Nancy Pelosi Democrats took over the United States Congress?
Since the recession began in December of 2008, 7.5 million American's have lost their jobs. Of those 7.5 million, nearly 6.5 million have occurred under Obama's watch.
This number includes Airline employees, auto industry workers, financial industry workers, and literally all jobs across the entire spectrum.
There are now more than 22 million unemployed people in the United States. That's more than the entire population of the State of Pennsylvania, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The Unemployment Rate has risen to a twenty-six plus year high of 10.2%on average. Four states have unemployment numbers above 13% including California, South Carolina, Michigan and Rhode Island. (Update: California is now approaching 13% unemployment. Michigan is more than 14%.)
North Korea has successfully tested a nuclear weapon for the third time and has directly threatened the security of the United States of America by declaring the Korean War has resumed. Kim Jung Il has himself directly threatened to nuke the United States of America. The response by the Obama Administration? Silence, followed by more 'sanctions' against North Korea. As if that's going to matter.
Iran has accellerated its nuclear program in defiance of the United States and the so-called "United Nations." The Obama Administration's response? Another useless sanction with the United Nations. Iran also recently announced they have a second location processing nuclear fuel. Obama's response? Another speech to the Useless Nations.
The "Misery Index" is once again being calculated - for the first time since the disastrous Jimmy Carter Presidency. By printing and adding another $2 TRILLION dollars to the economy, Obama has set the stage for 1970's style inflation. Welcome to the Obama Economy.
The Federal Budget Deficit, which was $400 billion dollars for 2009 as voted on and approved by Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and yes, Barack Hussein Obama during the last year of the Bush Presidency has been expanded to 1.9 TRILLION dollars by Obama and the Democrats since Obama took office. They can't blame this on Bush, they own this crap sammich!
22 Obama Nominees/Appointees have been found to have Tax Problems with the IRS. Our Treasury Secretary, Turbo-Tax Geithner is himself a tax-cheat.
No one wants to work in the Treasury Department under Tiny-Timmy Geithner. To this day, the Treasury Department has hundreds of openings.
Gas Prices have once again gone over $3/gallon in many parts of the country, rising more than 80 cents a gallon since Obama assumed power. Once Cap & Trade has been instituted, along with the $1/gallon fuel tax advocated by some Obama Appointees we can expect gas to be $5/gallon or higher, should Cap & Tax go into effect.
One of Obama's 'Czars' resigned in disgrace after his Communist affiliations were disclosed on national TV by Conservative Talk Show Host Glenn Beck. One Communist Czar down, 39 Left To Go.
Obama's own General in Afghanistan, Gen. McChrystal has requested troops to stop a renewed Taliban insurgency as the War in Afghanistan is now at grave risk of being lost. Obama's response? Continued dithering, no troops.Afghanistan is Obama's Viet Nam.
Obama - Change we can all believe in, to be sure (/sarcasm)
Why is Obama So Incompetent? 143 Days ....
That's the sum total of Barak Obama's experience in the United States Senate, prior to announcing his run for the United States Presidency.

In this video from 2004, Barak Obama says he's not qualified to run for President before ever having served a day in the U.S. Senate. I guess those 143 days have "qualified" him then?
