Same old, same old

Senator Obama promised change from the “old” politics, then he chose Senator Biden for VP!  

Senator Biden is an established Washington veteran. His character is questionable, too, because he has had problems with his comments about Native Americans and even Obama himself.  And, remember, Biden is the guy who plagarized the good parts of speeches by others without giving them credit.

So, where is the new image that Obama promised?  Hmmm.  Sounds to me like Senator Obama is more Washington, D.C., than like us.  Same old, same old.

Does the truth matter to Senator Obama?

Pro Life groups are saying that Senator Obama, while an Illinois representative,  voted NOT to save the poor babies who survive an abortion.   His reply is that the ProLife groups are lying and that he would have voted for the measure if it duplicated the Federal law which later passed the US Senate by a 98-0 margin!

Unfortunately for Mr. Obama, Illinois public records show that he chaired the Illinois committee which endorsed duplicating the Federal law.  But, when that very bill came to a vote, he voted against it. He said, at that time, that passing such a bill would be a ban of abortion “rights”.  And, he bragged that he had worked closely with Abortion groups, especially  Planned Parenthood,  to fight the measure. 

So, Senator Obama is faced, yet again, with his unsavory past which shows his complete disinterest in protecting our most vulnerable citizens,  innocent babies who survive an abortion.  And, once again, because it serves his purposes now, he attempted to rewrite his own voting record.  Does the truth matter to Senator Obama? 

You be the judge!

Me, Myself and I

No, this is not a post about Senator Obama and his inflated ego, although I can see why you might think it is!  It is about his policies , though.  But, mostly, this is about me, myself and I because I own stock in America’s oil companies.  And, most likely,  this is about you and your future income because one way or the other, the success of America’s oil companies has a huge impact on you, your family, and your living standard.

Senator Obama wants to tax American oil companies because they are earning too much money!  He doesn’t seem to realize that in America, earning money, even lots of it, is not a sin.  He fails to realize  that many Americans have their personal income and their pensions invested in the oil companies, whether through personal stock or mutual funds.  He fails to understand that a thriving oil industry provides jobs and necessary energy that keep our country and economy running well.

It is a simplistic notion that, if you need money for the federal government, you raise taxes and  corporations are an easy target.  However, if you tax the oil companies and they earn less, guess what happens to your dividend?  Guess what happens to your pension if dividends go down?  Guess what happens to industry jobs and the price of fuel?   Even a grade schooler realizes that if a company pays too many taxes, and doesn’t thrive, many other people suffer.  The only ones who don’t “get” this concept are Obama and the Democratic party.

So, if you want your dividends to keep coming, do NOT vote for Senator Obama.

If you want your pension to keep growing and be available when you retire, do NOT vote for Senator Obama and his high taxing ways.

If you want industry jobs to continue, do NOT vote for Senator Obama.

Americans are the most generous people and nation in the world.  But, maybe a little consideration of what is good for “me, myself and I” would be a valuable exercise for all of us.  And, what is good for us is a strong, dynamic oil industry which provides income for us as individuals and also is a valuable asset in our pension planning.

Have you noticed how Senator Obama’s speeches are carried, live, on almost every channel?  And, that the same channels do not carry Senator McCain’s speeches or public appearances?  Why is that?

It must be because Obama is constantly changing positions on issues and the press is trying to keep up with his new policy statements.  With McCain, you know where he stands on issues and WHY he espouses any given policy.

Either that, or it is the liberal bias of almost all the media who hope to sway the election from a genuinely experienced candidate, Senator McCain, to that of their personal favorite, Senator Obama.

Obama- a smooth operator

If you had a serious medical condition, whom would you ask for help?  Would it be a plumber, a mechanic, a grocery clerk?  While you might discuss your problems with them, you would seek definitive help from an expert, wouldn’t you?

In almost every circumstance, the best advice comes from experts in that field.  That is why courts give credence to experts and their educated opinion.  That is why you call a certified plumber if you have a leaky pipe, or an auto mechanic for the knocks in your car.

However, I have yet to see any field or endeavor where Senator Obama is recognized as an authority.  Why?  He simply is too young to have had enough time to become an expert.  He has tried community relations for a few years.  He has tried being a Senator for a few months.  And, suddenly, he believes he is ready to be President of the United States!!!

He might consider himself ready, and he is definitely a smooth operator.  But,  most of us prefer someone tried and true, like Senator McCain.
