During the election we were force fed the idea that Obama would take office and things would change. We were told that the change would be important, it would not be granular changes, but large philosophical changes. The left bought this hook line and sinker.

Let’s look at the broad picture.

The left hated Geo. W Bush because he used the events of 9/11 as pre-text to further a neo-conservative foreign policy.

So what does Obama do do in his first month in office? He uses the economic crisis as pre-text to roll out a leftist economic agenda and democratic spending package.

It was this “false” pre-text of 9/11 that caused the left to latch onto Obama for he was going to light the way and steer us clear of typical Washington politics. No, God forbid anyone question the President or any democrat about this double standard

What is amazing is that the left did not have buy into this charade. Many rational Americans saw through Obama’s thin veneer. The left had an option: Hillary. As much as I dislike her, I don’t think she is a wolf in sheeps clothing, she is just a wolf. In this administration she and Geithner are about the only rational people in the WHite House. In any event, regardless of who would have won the democratic ticket we would have had the same economic policies as it was Pelosi and Reid who developed the recovery package, not the savior Obama. He was just too weak willed to come out against the plastic usrgery machine that is Nancy Pelosi.

CNN is reporting that the Obama adminstration will maintain the Bush administrations policies regarding detainees in Afghanistan. Wait … what?

I guess Bush got something right:

“WASHINGTON (CNN) — The Obama administration told a federal court late Friday it will maintain the Bush administration’s position that battlefield detainees held without charges by the United States in Afghanistan are not entitled to constitutional rights to challenge their detention.”

Its the change the left has been looking for.

These are facts, published by Fox News, buried by fearmongering lefties and redistributed by Canadians. It is a fair story that points out shortcomings of GOPers and dems. Amazing that we have to say that.

Will the people of Massachusetts vote out the bumbling fool Barney Frank already? Seriously. We do not care if you elected another Democrat (actually we do, but this is just to make a point). Franks is an idiot and makes Massachusettsians looks foolish as well.

The Bush Admin and Senator McCain warned repeatedly about Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac and what thus became the 2008 financial crisis — starting in 2002 (and actually even earlier — in the Clinton and Carter White Houses. Democrats resisted and kept to their party line, extending loans to people who couldn’t afford them — just like you would expect of socialists.

Obama is playing the American Public for fools and the media is falling for it. Just look at what he says and what he does. It is absolutely stunning that he is getting away with this. I think its a game for him to see how far he can push things:

First, the Messiah, puts on a document on a White House web page saying that he will ” … will ban earmarks from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that will soon go before Congress.”

Then he goes to the Democratic retreat and all but brags about the pet projects in the bill:
“Then there’s the argument that this is filled with pet projects. When was the last time that we saw a bill of this magnitude move out with no earmarks in it? Not one (Applause)” (we posted the video here)

Then, Yesterday, he talks to some folks in Indiana and “… bragged about getting Congress to produce a package with no pork, yet boasted it will do good things for a Hoosier highway and a downtown overpass, just the kind of local projects lawmakers lard into big spending bills”.

A liberal friend of mind said “it just symantics”. that’s right. This is flat out playing loose with words to trick the American public into buying the idea that Pelosi’s plan to spend unprecedented amounts of money is the right - and only - course to take.

This guy is playing us for fools; and this is just one small issue.

This is cool,

Read this, then watch this at abount 1:46. What a fool the American people were to buy into this idiot’s rhetoric and lack of leadership.

Just when it seemed the Republican Party had breathed its last breath, an amazing thing happened: the one-time fiscally conservative, small-government party of yesterday briefly re-ignited. In a vote every conservative can be proud of, the House Republicans, thanks to the efforts of new Minority Whip Eric Cantor, unanimously voted against the crippling spending bill pushed by President Obama and his big-government allies.  Of course it took the mother of all pork-barrel bills, with a crippling cost of more than $1.1 trillion that is sure to wreck the economy and drive up inflation to do it, but at least they ‘got religion’ eventually.

Now the real fight begins. If the Republican Party is to find its true voice, there needs to be a unanimous rejection of this socialist monster of a bill when it arrives in the Senate. Can we accomplish it? Will we stand united on principle? It’s up to you. Our representatives in the Senate need to hear from you, especially those most likely to abandon our core principles. You can reach them by calling the Senate Switchboard and asking to be connected (202) 224-3121 or toll free (866) 220-0044.

 If you can only make one or two calls, please start with these Senators:

• Collins, Susan
• Graham, Lindsey
• McCain, John
• Snowe, Olympia
• Voinovich, George

 The following are newly elected Republican Senators, so their predisposition toward fiscal responsibility and small government is not known.  We are certain they would benefit from hearing from you:

• Johanns, Mike
• Risch, Jim

The following are regarded as being, ‘at risk’ because of their previous support of the original bailout package (HR 1424):

• Alexander, Lamar
• Bennett, Robert
• Bond, Kit
• Burr, Richard
• Chambliss, Saxby
• Coburn, Tom
• Corker, Bob
• Cornyn, John
• Ensign, John
• Grassley, Chuck
• Gregg, Judd
• Hatch, Orrin
• Hutchison, Kay Bailey
• Isakson, Johnny
• Kyl, Jon
• Lugar, Richard
• Martinez, Mel
• McConnell, Mitch
• Murkowski, Lisa
• Specter, Arlen
• Thune, John

The following Senators are the ones we believe are least likely to vote for this irresponsible bill. We are counting on their principled opposition to fiscal irresponsibility:

• Barrasso, John
• Brownback, Sam
• Bunning, Jim
• Cochran, Thad
• Crapo, Mike
• DeMint, Jim
• Enzi, Mike
• Inhofe, Jim
• Johanns, Mike
• Roberts, Pat
• Sessions, Jeff
• Shelby, Richard
• Vitter, David
• Wicker, Roger

It is hard not to envy people like entrepreneurs or those of faith who are eternally optimistic, who always find the bright side, for whom the glass is more than just half full even in darkest times but filled to overflowing during the best of them. Those people make things work in spite of obstacles, which they see as opportunities. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
For me, this feeling of dread won’t go away, as if told we had two to four years before an asteroid obliterates all life on Earth. While no official bureaucracy will confirm or deny the world is ending, the world we know is on its way out, barring a miracle. Indeed, we have been told by the President–Elect that change is coming. He said we can believe in it, which his supporters interpret to mean it will be a good thing. Familiarity with the concepts of good and evil suggest otherwise.
How to recover our optimism? Just go along to get along? Sacrifice liberty in the name of unity? That is what’s in store, and the common word for it is socialism. Words from the immortal (for now) Gettysburg Address come to mind:
“Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation: conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war. . .testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated. . . can long endure.” Read more »

The Wall Street Journal has a nice piece reflecting on the hate directed to President Bush by the left.

“The treatment President Bush has received from this country is nothing less than a disgrace. The attacks launched against him have been cruel and slanderous, proving to the world what little character and resolve we have. The president is not to blame for all these problems. He never lost faith in America or her people, and has tried his hardest to continue leading our nation during a very difficult time.”

We agree as those people who vilified and pilloried Bush better bone up and expect nothing less than the same being thrown against Obama: effigy’s of Bush’s head on Hitler’s body? Obama supporters will no doubt be exposed to the same for their messiah. That popular leftist rant: “Fuck Bush” will turn into “Fuck Obama”. Its just what happens when you elect a vapid populist as  your leader.

Importantly, however, we speculate that the let will, indeed, wuickly become disenchanted with Obama. Obama will try to appease those who elected him and the liberal Congress without any clear mandate to govern. The biggest trouble … we have *no idea* how he will actually govern! We have not prior actions or experience to look upon. All we have are his associations and time spent as a “community organizer”.

So, what kind of challenges will Obama face, just look at the morning news: 

Russia deploys missiles in response to the US Missile shield: Fox News. 

The **Taliban** is calling on Obama to bring peace by removing troops from Afghanistan … didn’t Obama promise to increase troop levels in Afghanistan? BreitBart

and Israel is launching missiles into Gaza. BreitBart

Maybe Obama can give the Taliban, the Russians and the Israelis a speech about Hope! No doubt aggressive countries and organizations see Obama as a limp noodle that will do nothing to stop their actions.

America’s run was great while it lasted.

Glad we elected a radical with zero experience? I am, becasue when we have a deep financial crisis and two unpopular wars, the guy with no experience a history of radicalism is exactly what the free world needs!

Americans elected a radical with no experience in government to run this country. The American people have entrusted the mantle of freedom and liberty with a man that wants to redistribute wealth and punish those who create jobs. I pray that we get through the next two years with little damage and clear out Congress.

God Bless everyone, and may God keep us and our liberties safe.
