So far the only thing he has improved in two and a half years is his golf game. Hows that Hope and Change working out for you, America? If Barack Obama thinks he has five and a half years left he is delusional. Do you remember Jimmy Carter?

So whats next? Someone breaks into your factory, business, home and the Police don’t respond. Maybe there’s a fire and the Fire trucks don’t roll.
Nothing like being threatened by the head of the Wisconsin Professional Police union to add extra value to the intimidation factor.
“For eight years before we arrived in the West Wing, Mr. Boehner and his party ran the economy literally into the ground,” he said. “We’ve seen this movie before, Mr. Boehner. We’ve seen it before and we know how it ends.”
Joe, do you mean the movie where unemployment was only 5.5%? Was that the movie you were talking about?
Biden conceded that the economic recovery was not proceeding as fast as the administration had hoped, but claimed there was “no doubt we’re moving in the right direction.”
Right direction? What are you smoking, Joe? Up is Down, Wrong is Right, it’s Bizarro World and you are in charge. G_d help us!
Under your regimen, National Debt has doubled, we have double digit unemployment, 500,000 new jobless claims announced this week, the Dow Jones on the way to 5,000, and huge tax increases on the way for the producers. This can’t end well.
Never in the history of The United States has there been a more incompetent, crooked and immoral executive branch. In the last 2 years of the Bush Administration the Democrats were in charge of the legislature and single handedly destroyed The United States economy. AND! Democrats continue to destroy the economy at an accelerated rate. It appears deliberate and in my opinion borders on TREASON!
Who knew laws would be abrogated, criminals rewarded and riches absconded? Who knew centuries old jurisprudence & Constitutional provisions would be discarded as mere inconveniences which were preventing rewarding cronies & political supporters?
dupes, rubes & dopes (um, that would be most of us), made the fatal mistake of bringing a knife to a gun-fight. Never, ever apply logic & fundamental reasoning skills in an environment where the thugs control all the cards.
I’ve learned my lesson - how many others have learned theirs?
Too often, much of late, the last couple three years, the mal-distribution of income in American is gone up way too much, the wealthy are getting way, way too wealthy and the middle income class is left behind,” he said. “Wages have not kept up with increased income of the highest income in America. This legislation will have the effect of addressing that mal-distribution of income in America.
America didn’t surrender to Kaiser in World War 1.
We didn’t surrender to Hitler in World War II.
We didn’t surrender to the Soviets during the Cold War.
Why then would America surrender to the Democrats?
Democrats are the enemy of America and Obamacare is the first shot in the War Against America.
Anyone with a (D) by their name is our enemy. They hate what America is and they are willing to destroy our nation in order to make it into their vision of what they think America should be. They have to be stopped.
What was done to America this past Sunday was the last straw. IF WE DON’T STOP THEM NOW WE MAY NOT GET ANOTHER CHANCE.
On the cusp of succeeding where numerous past congresses and administrations have failed, jubilant House Democrats voted 219-212 late Sunday to send legislation to Obama that would extend coverage to 32 million uninsured Americans, reduce deficits and ban insurance company practices such as denying coverage to people with pre-existing medical conditions.
‘This is what change looks like,” Obama said later in televised remarks that stirred memories of his 2008 campaign promise of “change we can believe in.’
‘We proved that this government — a government of the people and by the people — still works for the people.’
‘This is what change looks like’
‘We proved that this government — a government of the people and by the people — still works for the people.’
Social Security and Medicare are flat broke and now the Democrats want to create another entitlement program that we can’t afford.
The majority of Americans don’t want it but they are going to force it on us any way. This is what the face of tyranny looks like and it is not going to go well.
I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
The Democrats are assaulting the very pillars of our democracy. As the debate on Obamacare reaches the long, painful end, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is confronting a political nightmare. She may not have the 216 votes necessary to pass the Senate’s health care bill in the House
Hence, Mrs. Pelosi and her congressional Democratic allies are seriously considering using a procedural ruse to circumvent the traditional constitutional process. Led by Rep. Louise M. Slaughter, New York Democrat and chairman of the House Rules Committee, the new plan - called the “Slaughter Solution” - is not to pass the Senate version on an up-or-down vote. Rather, it is to have the House “deem” that the legislation was passed and then have members vote directly on a series of “sidecar” amendments to fix the things it does not like.
The Slaughter Solution is a poisoned chalice. By drinking from it, the Democrats would not only commit political suicide. They would guarantee that any bill signed by Mr. Obama is illegitimate, illegal and blatantly unconstitutional. It would be worse than a strategic blunder; it would be a crime - a moral crime against the American people and a direct abrogation of the Constitution and our very democracy.
‘It would open Mr. Obama, as well as key congressional leaders such as Mrs. Pelosi, to impeachment.’
It would open Mr. Obama, as well as key congressional leaders such as Mrs. Pelosi, to impeachment. The Slaughter Solution would replace the rule of law with arbitrary one-party rule. It violates the entire basis of our constitutional government - meeting the threshold of “high crimes and misdemeanors.” If it’s enacted, Republicans should campaign for the November elections not only on repealing Obamacare, but on removing Mr. Obama and his gang of leftist thugs from office.
The Obama administration is weighing how the government can encourage workers to turn their savings into guaranteed income streams following a collapse in retiree accounts when the stock market plunged.
The U.S. Treasury and Labor Departments will ask for public comment as soon as next week on ways to promote the conversion of 401(k) savings and Individual Retirement Accounts into annuities or other steady payment streams, according to Assistant Labor Secretary Phyllis C. Borzi and Deputy Assistant Treasury Secretary Mark Iwry, who are spearheading the effort…
BusinessWeek reports that the Treasury and Labor departments are asking for public comment on “the conversion of 401(k) savings and Individual Retirement Accounts into annuities or other steady payment streams.”
In plain English, the idea is for the government to take your retirement savings in return for a promise to pay you some monthly benefit in your retirement years.
They will tell you that you are ‘investing’ your money in U.S. Treasury bonds. But they will use your money immediately to pay for their unprecedented trillion-dollar budget deficits, leaving nothing to back up their political promises, just as they have raided the Social Security trust funds.
This ‘conversion’ may start out as an optional choice, though you are already free to buy Treasury bonds whenever you want. But as Karl Denninger of the Market Ticker Web site reports: ‘Choices’ have a funny way of turning into mandates, and this looks to me like a raw admission that Treasury knows it will not be able to sell its debt in the open market—so they will effectively tax you by forcing your retirement money to buy them.’
This is just the latest chapter in what is developing into a war by the left on America’s seniors. All that class-war rhetoric about “the rich” ends up targeting seniors, who tend to have accumulated the most in savings and investment on average because they have been around the longest.
Gingrich concludes…
Congressional Republicans should introduce legislation to block the government from ever proceeding with anything like this. Call it the ‘Keep Your Hands Off My 401(k) Act of 2010.’
The White House on Friday announced a “summit on entrepreneurship” to build economic ties with the Islamic world, part of President Barack Obama’s outreach to Muslims.
The White House said it has invited participants from more than 40 countries over five continents for the April 26-27 conference in Washington.
“The summit will highlight the role entrepreneurship can play in addressing common challenges while building partnerships that will lead to greater opportunity abroad and at home,” White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said.
What kind of Charlie Foxtrot are you cooking up now Mr. President? How about some support for American Entrepreneurship?
Members of Congress give all sorts of reasons for retiring, but the reason that Democrat Evan Bayh gave is starting to sound awfully familiar. The two-term Senator from Indiana said he just couldn’t stand the partisan bickering in Washington any more.
“I’ve had a growing conviction that Congress is not operating as it should. There is much too much partisanship and not enough progress,” he said yesterday, announcing he would not seek reelection this Fall.
Let me see Senator Bayh, “Congress is not operating as it should?” Running up a 1.4 Trillion dollar deficit, Federal Debt over 12 Trillion dollars, Earmarks (AKA wasteful spending), waste, fraud and abuse at the hand of the United States Congress, is this the partisanship you are talking about? The Democrat majority is in charge and the American People are holding them to account. Get over it!
Organized labor may be putting their dollars behind an online effort to take down Tea Party groups and their “radical ideas.”
A new Web site, TheTeaPartyIsOver.org, has connections to unions, including the Service Employees International Union and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.
The American Public Policy Committee pays for the site, whose self-declared mission is to “prevent the Tea Party’s dangerous ideas from gaining legislative traction.”
The Tea Party Movement’s idea of lower taxes and smaller government doesn’t sit well with unions. Especially the unions that represents government employees.
Somehow the principles of our Founding Fathers have become ‘radical ideas.’
It’s amazing how the ‘statists’ want to portray our country’s founding principals as radical.
The Democrat and Republicans In Name Only, (RINO)s, have lost touch with the American People. They have become the political elite and We the People have become "fly-over country." I am not a Nazi, a terrorist, a member of the KKK, a racist, or a member of an angry mob. I'm not a birther, teabagger, truther or astroturfer. I do, however believe in the original intent of the Founding Fathers, the United States Constituton and the rule of law. I believe that Government should serve the People, not the other way around. I’m an American and conservative to my very core.
