Ho hum. It’s another day, another tedious and scripted speech from President Obama. For a man touted as near genius, isn’t it amazing that he cannot frame an answer without a teleprompter?
Can’t the man put two words together without help? Apparently, he can’t.

Discrimination is not only when one ethnic group suppresses another. Discrimination occurs whenever one group of American citizens receives a special advantage over another and, usually, the discriminated group ends up paying more for something . The health care reform legislation is just the latest, although one of the most blatant, example of discrimination against Americans who have tried to provide for their families and employees. Already, certain “superior” Americans like Congress and the President will not even be part of the reform! How unfair and unAmerican is that?
If it’s good enough for everyday Americans, then it should be good enough for Congress and the President!
However, EVERYONE who actually pays the bills for big government knew it was only a matter of time before Unions, like Congress and the President, would be exempt from paying for this pseudo health reform bill. Well, now it is official. Unions will NOT have to pay for their Cadillac plans. WHY DO UNIONS GET A SPECIAL BREAK? The only reason to exempt anyone is that they are a voting group and are worth more to the Democrats in election years than the rest of us….so,they buy their votes with OUR tax dollars.
Of course this means that we, the ordinary folk, will be paying even more to support yet another PREFERRED group of Americans!
Thanks, Obama and Congress. You have successfully bought the Union’s vote by exempting them from the Cadillac health care tax provision. Discrimination is alive and well in Obama’s and Congress’ sphere of influence!

Isn’t it pathetic that President Obama still feels a need to destroy the reputation of his predecessor, rather than to destroy terrorists?
Democrats, exemplified byObama, have become political, and opportunistic, attack dogs. Rather than listening to the American public who wants no part of health care reform or the cap and trade, Democrats are bullrushing the legislation through. Rather than admitting that the stimulus has promoted neither job growth nor a better economic environment in the U.S., they fudge numbers and talk about “saved” jobs. They must really think we’re dumb. The only job growth there’s been is in government with Obama’s coterie of czars!
President Bush kept us safe after 9/11. There have been several terrorist disasters in just the first year of Obama’s reign.
If I could speak with President Obama for five minutes, I would tell him to stop blaming someone else when his own inexperience is to blame. I would tell him to stop forcing HIS agenda on an unwilling American citizens.
But, he won’t listen. He’s too busy ambushing Bush!
How many lies does it take to make one a Democrat? Well, here are some of the whoppers coming out of what was once a party “of the people”.

And, our beloved Senator Reid, trying to drum up racism in order to promote his own agenda.

IS IT ANY WONDER THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS THE LOWEST APPROVAL RATING OF ANY PRESIDENT FOR THIS POINT IN HIS TERM?

If you’ve been under a rock and don’t know about the White House dinner story, Read This! Personally, I think the stunt / gag was pretty funny.
Here’s where the media rears its ugly head. Had this been President Bush in the White House the press would have a field day talking about the administration’s incompetence. Instead, the lieberal media comes to Obama’s defense and claims the stunt was wrong and charges be flung at the couple like candy. Had this been with the Bush administration, the media would be lauding the couple for sticking it to President Bush. It’s this double standard in the media I think shows a clear cut example of how bat-shit insane they are.
Another example is the Tiger Woods story. First of all, everyone and their brother are making assumptions and throwing out opinions as on national tv. It’s ok if you want to throw out opinion in the safety of your home, but when you’re in a public forum you can’t decide what the facts are on his personal life or what may have happened. Then watching the Sports Reporters Sunday, Mike Lupica made note that they deserve to know all the details as to where he was going and why, so that they may correctly determine what happened. Until it’s public record, he and everyone else have no right to know what went down.
Maybe Tiger just lost control of his car, maybe there was some personal issues or maybe he was trying to run over a nosy reporter.
If it’s the third option, let’s hope there’s more like him. 🙂

First we had to listen to our own President denigrate the United States while overseas.
Then, we had to try to figure out which strategy for Afghanistan he truly believes in.
Now, we have to see our President bowing and scraping to emperors and Arabian “kings” and wearing clothes suitable for China, but not most Americans!
President Obama should realize that he represents the American people and our DEMOCRACY. When he bowed to the Japanese emporer, when he bowed to the Arab “king”, and now, when he dons Chinese clothing while in China, he shows just how little he understands of the American persona and our belief that everyone is equal.
So, enough of this fawning and bowing and scraping. Stand up and be a man, Mr. President. Stand up for America.
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2009/11/obama-emperor-akihito-japan.html
First he bows to a Muslim leader and now to a Japanese leader.
Isn’t it ironic that Obama, who routinely talks about discrimination that emanated from slavery, is now bowing to what are, or were, dictators. Doesn’t he realize that he is conferring legitimacy on a form of government that Americans did not want when our country began, and still do not want?
His inexperience and self-serving goals are definitely being showcased in his Asian tour. However, he wants to be the dictator here in America, so accepting other countries’ non-democratic institutions can only further his own goals back here. Unfortunately, by playing a subservient role, he is making a fool of himself and our entire country!
So, rather than standing up for America, he bows to other nations. How low will Obama go? No one knows, but every time he bows, neither his nor America’s best side is showing!
The decline in Barack Obama’s popularity since July has been the steepest of any president at the same stage of his first term for more than 50 years.

President Obama wanted control of the “failing” companies and Wall Street. He got that through the bail-out plans which, he said, allowed him to create czars who tell the companies how much to pay their employees. CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC never questioned Obama’s actions even though, constitutionally, there is no power given to the President to regulate salaries or even to fire CEOs as he did.
Obama wanted world adulation. He got that by running to Europe and criticizing everything American. Rather than acting like the Commander in Chief, he became the Apologist in Chief! Rather than explaining how generous the United States has been throughout many, many years, he agreed with everyone who is anti-American. He is considering allowing the UN — of which we are the main financial support — to dictate policy to us…… and the World Bank — of which we are the main financial support — to control our economy. It’s no wonder he got the Nobel Peace Prize from those who want America and capitalism to fail. Again, the major networks remain silent.
Obama has a checkered past of associating with people who have radical philosophies and ideals. Witness his long association with Reverand Wright, Farakhan, and even Van Jones. These three, and many in Obama’s cabinet, profess views against capitalism and even against the ideals of our country, as expressed in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And, what did CNN, MSNBC, or ABC say about these problems? They are uniformly silent.
Now, President Obama and his cabinet, and other Democrats, are trying to silence FOX news. First, they said it wasn’t really fair. Then, they asked their minions at NBC, CNN, and MSNBC to shun FOX news. Now, Obama is claiming that FOX news is only opinion, disguised as news. In a recent speech, Obama also claimed that Republicans “do what they are told.”
And, at the same time, Obama claims to be a unifier!
It is time for journalists to actually BE journalists, not just lackeys of the Democrat party. Get up and actually do some research rather than regurgitating what the White House gives you. If you study even the few months that Obama has been in office, you will find that he routinely changes his stance, depending on the political climate.
And, remember, power corrupts. And, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Take that Obama-Speak and try to decipher whether he is actually right or wrong. But, don’t just take him at his word because Obama-Speak is a constantly changing language!
By awarding the nobel peace prize to a highly inexperienced politician, i.e., President Obama, the committee has shown just how little this prize actually means any more. I would like the committee to name ONE thing that Obama has actually accomplished in his years as a community organizer, 2 year senator, and now President of the United States.
They couldn’t because there is nothing.
The committee is using the Peace prize as a political piece of incentive to encourage the United States to shift its policies and philosophy to be more in accord with the socialist agenda of Europe. By stroking Obama’s ego, they know that they will get more “goodies from the candy jar” of the United States!
There may be some who will herald this award as yet another feather in Obama’s cap. I see it as a confirmation that even the Nobel Peace Prize committee is politically motivated. They hope to shift the world’s attention to what Obama “might” accomplish rather than the lack of accomplishments. It is a gesture of pure politics, not a reward for a job well done. And, it proves that Obama is more attuned to European and Asian demands than those of his own country, the United States.
Oh, yes, the Nobel Peace Prize is a REAL PIECE of work!
