So if this were under the Bush administration, what kind of backlash would there be? Bush is reading our emails and invading our privacy. Frankly, I’m shocked at how two faced people are when it comes for their hatred of Bush and their support of Obama. Wait, I’m not shocked because it happens all the time.

Either way, this is pretty scary. While generally I don’t really care if anyone reads my emails, the fact of the matter is, where does it stop? Does this mean medical records will be open, or how about banking information?

World’s opinion of Obama….

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran’s hard-line president on Wednesday ridiculed President Barack Obama’s new nuclear strategy, which turns the U.S. focus away from the Cold War threats and instead aims to stop the spread of atomic weapons to rogue states or terrorists.

I never, ever thought I would agree with Ahmadinejad about anything!  But, Ahmadinejad is right when he describes President Obama’s latest play to the world crowd by reducing our nuclear capability as Obama’s inexperience showing.  Obama’s nuclear policies are the most bone-headed, scariest ever presented!

How does telling dictators, Russia, or China that you aren’t going to fight as hard as you can, if needed, keep us safe?  Of course, it doesn’t.  Other countries will now feel free to run amok in every way they want because, after all, the United States is only going to “talk” with them!  What a fool President Obama is.  His inexperience might be the death of us all yet!

The world has an opinion of Obama and, while it scares any American who can think, it makes THEM smile.

How Obama is paying for health legislation………..

All those with dividend income — here’s your wake up call!

President Obama and his Democrats have finally found a “hidden” way to pay for the proposed health legislation–hidden because it is a sneaky tax that you won’t know about until you pay your taxes!  Although health legislation was supposed  to save money, the current legislation will still cost everyone by stealing  more “taxes” from  anyone with dividend income — what a surprise!  In fact, the new tax on all dividend income above $250,000 will be a hefty 25% increase because they are adding a 3.8% tax on dividends!

To cover the cost of those changes, the compromise would impose a 3.8 percent Medicare tax on investment income for wealthy taxpayers, a levy that would come in addition to a Senate-proposed increase in the regular payroll tax for those families. And it would slice an additional $60 billion from Medicare, with the privately run program known as Medicare Advantage targeted for particularly deep cuts, bringing the total reduction in projected spending on the program to more than $500 billion over the next decade.

Good bye,  senior pension plans!

Good-bye, all who worked hard through the years and invested in America’s companies through the stock market!

Good-bye, to the concept that what you earn is yours and not the government’s.

There’s a new sheriff in town and he’s not only going to take all your guns, but is gunning for your money, too!

Undemocratic Democrats!

Although Americans are adamantly AGAINST the current health legislation, Democrats are determined to ram it through by hook or by crook!

Although the bill is not even in its final, written version, Democrats want to vote on it.  Although the American public is disgusted with Democrats’ wheelings and dealings, President Obama is trying to intimidate dissenters into voting for it.   Although representatives were supposed to represent the American public’s wishes and best interests, Democrats continue spreading lies about how the legislation would work and smearing those who disagree and completely disregarding the protestations of a majority of Americans.  It is such a bad piece of legislation that Democrats are scurrying for ways to avoid voting on the actual bill, yet passing it on to the president.  This has been Chicago style politics from the beginning and it looks as though it will be dirty, double-dealing, criminal, and unconstitutional,  to the end.

Democrats had better reconsider.

Are they Americans first, or Democrats first?

If they’re Americans first, then they must follow the people’s wishes, i.e., vote AGAINST  THE HEALTH LEGISLATION THAT PELOSI, REID, AND PRESIDENT OBAMA ARE PUSHING.

If they’re Democrats first, then, like sheep, they will do as Pelosi  and Obama want them to do, even if they must subvert our Constitution.

A “no” vote will be difficult, but would prove that our Representatives truly are representative of the American public.  A “yes” vote will confirm that dirty politics with all its sweetheart deals and closed door arm twisting is the new motif of the Democrats’ party.  If the legislation passes, Democrats will be labeled as undemocratic….a title they will deserve!

So, are Democrats Americans first or Democrats first?  We’ll know the answer soon.

Clear as mud!

“And, I promise transparency in government….” and “open meetings” and “nothing behind closed doors”.  How many times did SENATOR Obama say that before becoming president?  And, a little over his first year, how many times have he and his fellow Democrats broken those promises?

If you look at health legislation alone, Democrats are wheeling and dealing ONLY behind closed doors.  There is nothing discussed in public nor are any reports issued so we can check up on our pseudo representatives in Congress.  No wonder the American public is vehemently against the current, health  legislation.  We know there are sweetheart deals and special favors for those that vote democrat — like unions.  We know that congressional votes are routinely being sought using state exemptions or student loans (which have NO bearing on health care but are someone’s special pet project) as a carrot to entice a “yes” vote.   We know that “some” Americans will once again pay more for a governmental program that no one, except the Democrats who are buying votes with our tax dollars, want!

In fact, Democrats are looking for every way possible to get this health legislation into law, even if it means subverting the Constitution with ridiculous “rules” like the Slaughter rule.

Health legislation, like the TARP bailouts, and everything else that President Obama and the Democrats do, is about as clear as mud!

Supreme Court Ruling?

Finally, Supreme Court Justice Roberts has replied to President Obama’s boorish behaviour at the State of the Union speech.

Roberts: Scene at State of Union `very troubling’

By JAY REEVES (AP) – 14 hours ago

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts said Tuesday the scene at President Obama’s State of the Union address was “very troubling” and the annual speech has “degenerated to a political pep rally.”

Obama chided the court, with the justices seated before him in their black robes, for its decision on a campaign finance case.

Responding to a University of Alabama law student’s question, Roberts said anyone was free to criticize the court, and some have an obligation to do so because of their positions.

“So I have no problems with that,” he said. “On the other hand, there is the issue of the setting, the circumstances and the decorum.

“The image of having the members of one branch of government standing up, literally surrounding the Supreme Court, cheering and hollering while the court — according the requirements of protocol — has to sit there expressionless, I think is very troubling.”

Breaking from tradition, Obama criticized the court’s decision that allows corporations and unions to freely spend money to run political ads for or against specific candidates.

Out-Foxed?

President Obama and his motley crew tried to oust FOX news from Americans’ media diet, but failed.

Now, Democrats are attempting to oust the DRUDGE report from Senate employees’ online diet.  Will this type of censorship succeed?

Hopefully, everyone will read a wide variety of news sources, including the DRUDGE, FOX news, and others,  and this blatant attempt to intimidate staffers into disregarding a valuable online news source will be seen for the political ploy it truly is.

Let’s hope that this type of censorship is not accepted and that this blatant grab for control of Americans’ minds and their right to know is also OUT-FOXED!

Just another talking head —

After a day-long summit to discuss compromises to the health legislation that Democrats and President Obama are pushing, several conclusions can be reached.

President Obama obviously did NOT want to compromise with any Republican ideas.  Rather, he thought that his magnificent presence on tv would sway Congress and voters to his side of the debate.

Republicans presented valid ideas including:  inter-state insurance; tort reform; grouping of small businesses to buy insurance.  These would lower the health care costs for businesses and individuals and provide health care to more Americans.  None of the Democrats nor Obama seriously accepted these proposals.  At the end of the day, Obama clearly was upset that Republicans did not jump onto his bandwagon, even though he said he would “contemplate” their ideas.  He must think we are all idiots.  That we don’t realize that  he and the Democrats  intend to try to ram this legislation through with reconciliation — a process they previously repudiated.

President Obama showed his own arrogance by talking, and talking, and talking.  Well, according to him, he’s the President, so he gets more time!  Really?  Wasn’t he there to listen to everyone’s ideas?

Republicans explicitly demonstrated that the health legislation being proposed would not only cost us more money, would NOT cover more people, and would only be in effect for 6 of the 10 years that taxes were collected for it.   In essence, the legislation does NOT do what Democrats claim it will do, Americans absolutely do NOT WANT it, and it might actually ruin the financial integrity of our country.  It was a waste of everyone’s time.

The summit was exactly what people suspected it would be– grandstanding by President Obama and the Democrats.  They had no intention of listening to the other sides’ ideas and all they wanted was a photo op so they could claim they were trying for bi-partisanship.  Unfortunately, for them, Americans saw through this fiction and yet another poll proves that Americans do NOT trust Obama nor the Congress.

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/02/26/cnn-poll-majority-says-government-a-threat-to-citizens-rights/?fbid=HVuJuC-2u9V

Washington (CNN) – A majority of Americans think the federal government poses a threat to rights of Americans, according to a new national poll.

Watching this debacle on tv was even more boring than watching reruns….wait.  This actually WAS a rerun of the Democrats’ and Obama’s talking points.

If they truly want to “do what the American public wants”, then they had better start listening.  As of yesterday, they and Obama were just doing what they always do — talk.   The saddest outcome of this health summit is that Democrats hardened their “we’re right” attitude and forgot that they were elected to represent us — our views and wishes — not pass legislation that helps them get re-elected!

So, the real outcome of yesterday’s “summit” was that  President Obama, he of the “change, transparency, bi-partisanship” campaign, became just another talking head.
