Don’t trust Obama!

Don’t trust President Obama nor the Democrats to keep their promises.  Obama has broken most of his campaign promises already, so what makes anyone think he would make good on an agreement about health care?  Let the protests continue!

White House appears ready to drop ‘public option’

WASHINGTON (AP) — Bowing to Republican pressure and an uneasy public, President Barack Obama’s administration signaled Sunday it is ready to abandon the idea of giving Americans the option of government-run insurance as part of a new health care system.

Facing mounting opposition to the overhaul, administration officials left open the chance for a compromise with Republicans that would include health insurance cooperatives instead of a government-run plan. Such a concession probably would enrage Obama’s liberal supporters but could deliver a much-needed victory on a top domestic priority opposed by GOP lawmakers.

White House Pressure

Looks as though President Obama wants even more from the press — he doesn’t like it when some in the media actually report the news.  Obama wants only the news he thinks is fit to print to be printed!

Maybe the press corps is waking up to its responsibilities.  Their job is to report the news, not placate President Obama.

Do YOU understand?

A day after facing a hostile crowd at a town hall meeting in Green Bay, U.S. Rep Steve Kagen (D-WI) said people opposed to health care reform are being driven by fear and misinformation.

“They’re angry because they’re fearful, and they’re fearful of what they don’t understand,” Kagen said during a visit to the Shawano Leader Tuesday.

The proposed health care plan is just the latest in the Lieberal assault on our personal liberties.  It is not enough that they regulate the amount of water a toilet can use nor that they even decide who can run certain companies.  No.  They want to control every detail of your life, including your medical choices.

Representative Kagen of Wisconsin espoused the Democratic litany of “you don’t understand” to explain why there is so much opposition to the health care proposals.  Democrats never accept that individual Americans might have ideas that are not in accord with the lieberal agenda!  If you disagree with their plan,  according to the Democrats, you must either:  be part of an organized opposition to the plan which makes it “bad” in their opinion;  do not understand the plan;  be selfish or apathetic;  or, just plain stupid.  They maintain that they alone know what is best for ALL Americans’ health care plans.  Despite the failure of other countries who have universal health care, these buffoons continue to press toward the socialistic agenda of “free” health care.  Ha ha.  Exactly who pays for this “free” health care?  Unfortunately, it will be me, you, our children, our grandchildren, and our great-grandchildren.

As a college graduate from UW-Madison with a degree in Education, let me educate these Lieberals.

1 – I am not part of any organized group.

2 – I DO understand the plan.  I just don’t like that it taxes people who have worked hard and saved for their own futures for those who have not.  I do NOT trust the government to make better decisions for me and mine than I would or could.

3 – I do care about my fellow Americans.  My husband and I contribute substantial amounts every year to our church charities.

4 – I am NOT stupid nor are other Americans who oppose universal health care.  My husband and I both graduated from UW-Madison.  We continue to follow issues that affect our lives and those of our children.  YOUR problem is that the American public is NOT stupid and sees through your ridiculous positions and assertions!

So, it is not a question of me being opposed to the ridiculous health care plan that Obama wants because I don’t understand the concept.  It is a question of me NOT WANTING the government to run my, or anyone else’s, health care and NOT wanting the government to tax more to pay for those who choose not to save for their own health care.  My opinions are founded in fact whereas the lieberals, as usual, are expounding a philosophical viewpoint as though IT WERE FACT!

So, my question to Rep. Kagen and the other lieberals who support this bill is, what makes you think we don’t understand the issue?  And, do YOU, the Congress, understand our heartfelt opposition?

Who’s the racist here?

http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0709/Obama_Cambridge_police_acted_stupidly.html

President Obama must move beyond racism as the culprit for everything that goes wrong to a black person in America.  Without even knowing the facts, he condemns the police because the intruder was black.

Isn’t it time for blacks and other minorities to stop claiming “racism” for every fracas that they are involved in?  Whether the Harvard professor was black or white, his neighbors reported  that “someone” was breaking into that house.  How did the police know whether this was the owner or a robber, especially when the professor refused to identify himself?  What would the professor have said if the intruder had not been himself, but a real robber?

Blacks have to accept that sometimes events do not play out as they wish.  We all have the same problem.

Surely, the president is intelligent enough to know that not everything that happens to a black person is based on race.  Or, is he?

Obama vs. Bush

This was a forwarded email. (I’ve removed images to keep it short and sweet.)

If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given Tony Blair a set of inexpensive and useless (to Tony Blair’s UK video formatting) DVDs, when Tony Blair had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent “Austrian language,” would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive?

Can’t think of anything? Don’t worry. He’s done all this in 10 weeks — so you’ll have three years and nine-and-a-half months to come up with an answer.

More Power

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D99GD8QG2&show_article=1

Everyone used to laugh at Tim Allen’s he-man claim to need  “MORE POWER” .  But, it appears that the White House is still stuck in that old sitcom mode.  The headline reads:  White House wants more power to control Medicare Costs.

It appears that the White House, i.e. Obama and his Democratic minions, just want MORE POWER period.

They already control what the major media outlets tell us….witness the pandering from CNN, MSNBC, CBS, and NBC.  But, wait, that’s not enough!   They want to control what a CEO can be paid.  They want to control the minimum wage.  They want to control health care.  They want to control the education system.  They even used our tax dollars, despite most Americans opposing the bailout,  to bailout car companies, some financial institutions, and are now considering helping newspapers and tv outlets! They want to strip parents of being informed if an underage girl chooses to have an abortion.

When government has the power of life or death, abortion or life, then watch out!

MORE POWER?  I suggest they try using MORE COMMON SENSE  and MORE SELF CONTROL.

Talking out of both sides of his mouth!!!!!

The Democrats and Prsident Obama are so eager to get their welfare plans in place that they don’t even pay attention to what they’re saying.  One day, they say the stimulus will work “now”.   When the stimulus is seen as failing, Obama declares that he never meant “now”.  Well, what did he mean when he said “now”?????
