WHAT'S WITH PAKISTAN?

SPECIAL POST

The United States has been feeding billions of dollars into Pakistan for years, trying to keep their nukes from falling into the hands of terrorists or other enemies and trying to buy Western influence in the region.  There has always been an underlying hatred in many segments of Pakistani society toward the U.S., but the recent raid and killing of Osama bin Laden has now caused the situation to boil to the surface.  Protestors have taken to the streets and the government has issued stern warnings to the United States. 

The knee-jerk reaction here is to get all of our people out of Pakistan and quit sending them money.  But, the real problem is that radical Islamists are expanding in numbers throughout the entire area, and all governments there are in danger of becoming totally devout enemies of the U.S.  This is the problem in Egypt, in Yemen, in Libya, Tunisia...

So, what do we do about it?  We can't just go running in there and starting bombing the Al Queda types out.  Who knows who is what in that God forsaken neck of the woods, anyway.  We can't commit troops to the ground; we don't have enough to go around.  If we do nothing, we are turning our backs on the fact that radical Islam is heading in our direction and they don't want to sit down and have a beer on the White House lawn.  

Our national security is already at risk here.  Allowing the problem to fester and grow in the Middle East is surely no way to deal with the enemy.  What we do need is someone in the White House who is willing to tackle these issues directly, and Obama is not the guy.  I believe that Osama would be alive today if Obama's ratings had not been in the toilet, but he's been looking for a way to shake his own rotten image and to get a positive uplift to his reelection campaign; killing Osama was the perfect solution.  Beyond that, Obama is impotent in foreign affairs, particularly in the Middle East.  

I do happen to believe that we should cut Pakistan off, but only because the money is likely to end up in the wrong hands.  As for the nukes there?  I also happen to believe they are already in the hands of some terrorist groups.  That's a big wake up call, isn't it? 

The real lesson to be learned here is that we need to be much more careful in choosing the people we elect the the White House.  When it comes to these sticky foreign affairs problems, I haven't yet identified one candidate in either party who I am comfortable with, especially our current President.

PEDDLERS OF FEAR ORGANIZATIONS RIPPING OFF AMERICANS

There’s hardly a nanosecond that goes by on the Internet that you don’t get bombarded with a suggestion by some organization that some facet of the United States Government is going to do something drastic against you unless you force Congress to act now to prevent it.  Moreover, they want your money so they can be the ones to force Congress to act.  YayGod bless them for coming to our rescue!

Millions of illegal aliens will cross the border tonight unless YOU send YOUR contribution of $25, $50 or $100 now, this very minute, to stop it.  And yes, we’ll take your credit card.  Just get that money in here pal and we’ll do the rest.  Whoopie! 

Did you know that the Justice Department is NOT deporting illegals that they capture?  That’s right!  Over 34,000 illegal aliens who should have been deported last year were not, because Janet Napolitano ordered the Border Patrol to cut down on arrests and detainments.  Only you can stop this horrible practice by sending in your contribution today to enable them to get on their white stallions and go galloping on over to Capitol Hill to shake those rotten Congressmen out of their boots and force them to stop this nonsense. 

Congress is about to stop all Social Security and Medicare benefits.  Those evil scoundrels are conjuring up a way to divert what is left in the Social Security fund to cover the cost of abortions for millions of welfare moms across the country.  Only you can stop this from happening and leaving you and your loved ones to rot on the front porch when retirement day comes.  We need your money.  Get your friends, your relatives and your neighbors together right now and form your own local committee to save Social Security and Medicare and let us know when you’ve raised the money; we’ll send an armored truck by to pick it up!  Isn’t that great?!!!

They’re going to take your guns and ammo from you and there is nothing you can do about it unless you join us now in forcing Congress to put a stop to it.  That’s right; Barry Obama and Hillary Clinton are conspiring to abide by a United Nations ruling to take away our Second Amendment rights.  We’re all going to be toast unless you send in your money today so we can go force Congress to act. 

Good grief, man, when is the last time this country forced Congress to do anything?  Even an act of God can’t move those pinheads off the dime.  We voted half of them out in 2010 to force them to come to grips with our spending, and where has that gotten us?  Anyone who thinks that, by sending money to some obscure organization in Washington, we are going to make Congress do a damned thing needs to give me a call right now, this very minute; don’t delay because, I’ve got some land in Florida I want to sell you. 

Save your money.  You’ve got more clout with your Congressmen by using the fax and email than those guys who want to take your money so they can send a fax and an email.  By and large, the “organization” managers are all driving fancy cars and living in big houses while you hide under the bed in fear.  

Did you know that a secret department in the FCC is going to seize all of the channel clickers in the country so you will have to get off your fat ass and do some exercise?  Only you can stop this terrible thing from happening.  Send your money today to the “AMERICAN ASSOCIATION TO SAVE CHANNEL CLICKERS.”  Don’t delay; every second counts. 

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.

MR. PRESIDENTIAL

SPECIAL POST

The halo around his head made it difficult to distinguish him at first; Obama looked so Presidential this morning in New York City.  There he was in all of his glory, making political hay on the backs of the Navy heroes who delivered his long overdue justice in the middle of the night in Pakistan.  This is our President, the man who would take away our guns and our liberties, the man who would turn us into a socialistic society, the man who would be the Czar Supreme of the United States if we would let him, now acting out the role of an American Patriot at the holy place where 3,000 people died ten years ago. 

Remember how Presidential he looked when he received the Nobel Peace Prize?  

I'm thinking that we should quit bellyaching about his going out to play golf in the middle of international crisis.  With practice, you know, he could take on Tiger Woods or anyone else for that matter.  He's an excellent athlete, having played basketball with Michael Jordan and the boys.  Remember how he ducked out on the troops at the hospital on an overseas trip so he could go shoot some baskets?  Put some sunglasses on this dude, and he'd surely be the Mr. Cool of all time.  

But, back to the golf.  How do you think he is going to look when they invite him down to the Masters and lay one of those famous green jackets on him?  Why, he'll look Presidential, of course.  

I wonder if he would look just as Presidential if we got our budget under control and found some jobs for millions of Americans.  I wonder if he'd look just as Presidential if we resolved the immigration issues at the borders, or if we dealt effectively with North Korea or Iran?  I wonder if he'd look just as Presidential if he quit lying and spinning the truth and got down to the business of being... a real President?

NAVY SEALS WHO DID THE JOB MAY GET THE SHAFT


Those six Navy Seals who stormed into Osama’s compound and extracted his life may be in the verge of getting the shaft from the United States Government… in more than one way. 

Since time immemorial, members of the U.S. armed forces who choose to make a career out of, for 20 or 30 years, have been entitled to begin drawing their retirement pay the moment they retire and regardless of age.  When that structure was set up, it must be assumed that a decision was made as to how much in total a retiree should draw in a typical scenario until his death, and that figure was then divided by the number of years until anticipated death to arrive at an annual benefit. 

Now, the Feds want to screw the military by saying they get the same monthly retirement pay but can’t start drawing it until they are 65.  This means that they are being screwed out of 25 to 28 years of pay. 

But, that’s not the end of it.  There’s another move afoot to curtail other retirement benefits, such as medical.  President Obama originally wanted military personnel to pay for their own medical costs and insurance.  After being shouted down by the nation over that issue, Obama retreated.  But, the suggestion is being brought back to life that military personnel should be insured and that they should pay all or a major portion of the premiums, plus deductibles. 

A new twist in the works would provide that retired military personnel get absolutely no medical benefits at all, and that V.A. clinics and hospitals would not treat them except for service-related sickness and injury. 

These are the people who protect our nation, working far more than eight hours a day and five days a week.  These are the people who lay their lives on the line to do their duty to our country at substandard wages, living below the poverty line in far too many cases.  Yes, these numbers include those six Navy Seals who got Bin Laden who are about to get those shafts. 

Sometimes, this country and our government make me want to puke.

TODAY IS A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY

OSAMA IS FINALLY KILLED!

MAY GOD DAMN HIS SOUL


Saturday, April 30, 2011

SHOOT, YOU IDIOT!

There are all of those twits abounding out there who insist that I am a right-wing extremist who wants to murder, rob, plunder and steal.  You see, I am a gun owner. 

Not only am I a gun owner, but I own several.  I own a Weatherby Athena 12 gauge shotgun, a Springfield 22/17 target rifle, a Colt Pony 25 caliber semi-automatic pistol and a Glock 23 .40 caliber semi-automatic pistol pistol.  I do not own an AK-47, but I do own a slingshot.  Now, let’s just stop there, with my obvious and blatant crackpot ownership of weapons of mass destruction. 

Well, I'm going to have to admit that I have a permit to carry a concealed weapon in 34 states.  And, I should add, I have owned guns since I was 12 years old.  Does that get me into the category of being dangerous to society yet? 

Yes, I did have great apprehension about sashaying into the local gun store and plunking down $1,000 for another semi-automatic pistol and trimmings.  I did have to ask myself what my neighbors might think.  I am known in the area as being a nice, quiet and unobtrusive hermit, you understand.   But, with all of these guns…?  My God, if the word got out, I could be run out of town on the no-longer-existing rail!

Would the American Legion drop my membership?  Would Prince William not invite me to his wedding?  Would Barack Hussein Obama admit that his new birth certificate was a fake?  Who knows, I reasoned with myself, what this latest action on my part might bring?  Will the price of gas go up?  Will K-Mart quit its blue light specials? 

Well, I went ahead and bought it. 

Now, mind you, I have purchased previous guns in this state, have owned guns since I was 12 and never shot anyone, and can carry concealed weapons in all of these 34 states and… California wants to make me wait ten days to pick up my new treasure.  I guess they’re afraid I might take this new gun and go shoot somebody, leaving all of my other horde of weapons behind. 

“Well, just what does anyone need with more than one gun, for God’s sake?” my liberal friends might ask.  Did it ever occur to you that, when I go around the bend and hole up inside my palace and start shooting at butterflies that I might want to be able to shoot more than 10 rounds?  Hell, you idiots, I have more than 2,000 rounds of ammo in various sizes stored here.  Yeah, I could take out 2,000 of you blooming idiots! 

Hmmmm.  That thought makes me want to go down to the store and buy another 12,000 rounds, if you ask me.  Now that I think more about it, why not?  If I got rid of 14,000 of you anti-gun freaks, I’d be hailed forever as a national hero. They’d build statues in my honor and throw dandelions on my tomb! 

I’m really dangerous, you know.  Really.  Don't mess with me, now.

BIRTH CERTIFICATE: I AM NOT A RACIST

SPECIAL POST

The Obama camp is saying that those who question, or have questioned, Obama's citizenship are racists.  

You know, Obama stated before he got the nomination that he didn't want to talk about racism and that he didn't want it to be an American issue; let's get past it.  Since he moved into the White House, he and his cronies cry "racism" at the drop of a hat.  I'm sick and tired of it.  

The fact is that our Constitution requires that the President be a natural born citizen of the United States.  Because of Obama's Kenyan and Indonesian background, the question legitimately arose as to where he was born.  Now, I did not refuse to produce a birth certificate, he did.  And that drug on for several months before he finally was pushed into a corner and came up with the Certificate of Live Birth.  When it was revealed that the certificate provided did not necessarily prove that he was born in Hawaii, and given his obstinance in providing what he finally did provide, it is again only natural to ask for the real thing.  

I didn't refuse to comply, he did.  When several parties decided to sue him to obtain the real thing, he still didn't cough it up; instead, he hired lawyers and spent several millions of dollars fighting his right not to produce it.  I didn't do that, he did.  

The only racist in this picture lives in the White House.  If you want a racist as your President, that's your business, but I will never vote for the bigot.

OBAMA WAS BORN!

SPECIAL POST

President Barack Hussein Obama came forth to the White House Press Corps and coughed up a birth certificate this morning to prove that, indeed, he was not only born... but he was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. So sayeth the Messiah, the omnipotent one. 

His would-be pretender, Donald Trump, was elated and proud.  The press attending Trump's announcement minutes before Obama spoke was enthralled as "The Donald" spoke about the White House miracle and asked, "Why didn't he do this before?"  

Indeed, why didn't he?  One's initial reaction is to ask if the ink is yet dry on this birth certificate.  Was Obama really born?  If he was really born, was it in Honolulu or is this birth certificate simply another Tony Rezko-Bill Ayers-Jeremiah Wright minuet? 

Only time will tell, of course.  The experts will now examine the certificate and all will weigh in on its purported authenticity.  Even the royal wedding has been upstaged by this turn of events, but we don't yet know if Obama's moment of tribulation will end the storm of controversy, or not.  

Please pass the popcorn.

IS THE WORLD COMING TO AN END?


SPECIAL POST

Hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, fires, floods, tsunamis, hunger, war, pestilence and economic collapse; all of these ominous signs touted in The Bible as being signs of the end exist today, more than ever before.   And here we are, just about nineteen months before the Mayans and many other old religions predict the end will, in fact, occur, December 21, 2012. 

Perhaps, just perhaps, we should all pause for a moment, head for the bar and get a good, stiff drink because, if it is true, our I-Pods and androids will soon quit working.  Good God, man, do you realize that your laptop and TV could go on the fritz, too? 

One can conjure up scenarios likely to be the prelude to the actual final days, and we would be within the realm of possibility.  Suppose, for example, if that mealy mouthed Ahmadinejad decided to lob off a nuke missile or two toward Israel.  Or, maybe, one of the North Korean midgets fires one off at South Korea.  Either one of these possibilities could immediately touch off reactions by the United States, China, Russia… even that tin-horn from Venezuela could get his bowels in an uproar. 

Those scripts are all war routines, of course, but with things going the way they are in the Middle East, with the players behind the players, that tinder box could ignite into World War III in a heartbeat.  I think war is the biggest of possibilities to bring about the end of ends by December of next year.  I don’t see climate change affecting things that badly in that short a period of time, (sorry for the bad news, Al Gore).  A shortage of food? No.  Some plague?  Possibly: I hear of a dangerous flesh eating bacteria that no one is talking about. The bird flu might make an untimely comeback. What would happen right here in the U.S. if there was a big Al Gore - George Bush type election problem in November 2012: cries of racism, left-wing nuts, union thugs, radical Muslims rising up; Nancy Pelosi having a really queen-sized snit? 

The big question of the day is, “How do we prepare for December 21st while avoiding the danger of looking like a fool on December 22nd?”   

We could quietly start stockpiling food.  We could purchase an electrical standby generator.  We could buy some more guns and ammo.  We can do all of these things and more without tipping off our neighbors that we are preparing for the end.  The problem is, if we don’t encourage the neighbors to prepare as well, when the last day comes, we may have all of our neighbors parked in our yards looking for us to bail them out of their collective miseries. 

We can’t just bury our heads in the sand and assert that all of those ancient civilizations were full of el toro poopoo when they independently came up with December 21st as being the end of days, as we now know them, for mankind.  We simply have to do something. 

As for me, "Better make that a double, Bart, straight up, no ice."

HAVE SCIENTISTS FOUND GOD?


We can all remember “The Force” as described in the Star Wars episodes, a mysterious power permeating the universe that, once harnessed, could be used for good or evil.  Darth Vader, of course, used it for “The Dark Side.”  There have been those amateur and professional “theologians” who profess that such a force exists, that there is an unseen and untapped energy that is universal and that emanates directly from God. 

Perhaps that is true.  There is a multitude of events that have occurred throughout history that could be best explained by the existence of something beyond our scope of imagination.  But, if so, what is it really? Can it be defined in terms of physical evidence?  That is, is it some particle of matter that we could identify as such if we had the proper tools?  Or, is it more nebulous, perhaps energy in the form of something akin to brain waves, or gravity or light? 

A rumor is floating around the physics community that the world's largest atom smasher may have detected a long-sought subatomic particle called the known as the "God particle."  The particle is predicted to exist by prevailing particle-physics theory, which is known as the Standard Model. Physicists think this particle bestows mass on all the other particles — but they supposedly have yet to confirm its existence. 

In the search for such sub-atomic particles, huge atom smashers are being used and one detection experiment may have picked up a signature of the elusive particle. The signal is consistent, in mass and other characteristics, with what this particle is expected to produce.  Researchers are urging patience and caution before we all head to church to repent our sins.  So far, they say, it is only speculation, based upon theory, based upon an experiment, based upon an idea that might possibly be true. 

The fact that “The God Particle” may have been discovered is causing a buzz in the scientific community.  However, they are all being tight lipped about the potential discovery; when asked about the experiment, they just smile demurely and hum with a buzz. 

That science is in fact looking for such evidence suggests to me that science is accepting the possibility that God does exist.  One could even argue that the news is propitious, having been leaked to the press on the very eve of Easter. 

Whatever it is all about, whatever comes of this discovery, one thing is certain: atheists and naysayers would be well advised to start shaking in their boots.

OBAMA'S ANIMAL TENDENCIES

SPECIAL POST

Obama has come out and said that you and I are trying to make the poor pay and go without assistance or charity because we want a balance budget and $6 trillion in deficit reductions over ten years.  He says we don't give enough to the poor and we don't care about them.  According to him, the deficit should be damned and let the country go over the cliff.  And we... you and I, will be the bad guys if we don't let that happen.  

This is just more condescending and insulting talk down.  You know, the guy has had his niceties.  He's gotten away with one helluva lot, including saddling this country with a health care plan it does not want.  He's the President who jacked up our national debt more in a year that all previous Presidents combined. 

Well, it's time the gloves come off; he's asked for it.   I don't care what color the guy is, he has no business calling ME a racist who doesn't give a damn about the poor.  I don't have to be politically correct with him anymore just because he is black; I can call a spade a spade, and pardon the play on words.  

Here's the President who said he had never heard of Tony Rezko; when proven otherwise, he said Rezko was just a casual acquaintance, but the hood Rezko helped him get into his house?  Here's the President who said he'd never heard of Bill Ayers, but Bill Ayers hosted his Senatorial election kickoff in his house, and Michelle had a relationship with Bernadette Dorn and Ayers.  Here's the flagrant liar who expects us to believe that he had his ears closed in Jeremiah Wright's church for 20 years.

And finally, here is the guy who claims he is a citizen of the United States and has at the same time spent millions of dollars in legal fees trying to prevent anyone from verifying that fact.  He won't even let a bi-partisan committee go down to Honolulu to verify his birth certificate and report back to the nation without producing the birth certificate.  What does that tell you?  Rezko, Ayers, Wright and birth certificate.... It all adds up to the same thing.  

So, while this guy cannot and will not prove to this nation that he is a citizen and entitled to be President under our Constitution, he has the gall  to run around pointing a finger of blame at me for wanting to resolve our debt crisis.  

I think not, Mr. President.  You, sir, are a jackass.

OFFICE DEPOT SHOULD CLOSE DOWN

SPECIAL POST

It's not very often... I can't even remember doing it... that I would take up valuable blog space to go after a merchant.  But, this is an exception. 

I had been an Office Depot customer for many, many years.  In 2009, I did well over $10,000 in business with them and last year did over $6,000.  I had an item of printing that I needed done, a business plan for a client.  I took it to Office Dept and asked them to print me six copies off of my flash drive, which they did;  this was a 7o page document.  I went back a few days later with the same flash drive and the same file and asked for 25 copies bound with a nice cover and they told me that they could not print off of my file; it was the wrong format?  Well, I objected and the gal basically told me to take a hike.  I got it done at Fed-Ex. 

I fired off a complaint to Office Depot by email and they never responded, but they did send me an email asking me how I liked their service on the first transaction.  So, I responded with another email, and never got a response.  

That was last year and that's why I spent $4,000 less with them last year than the year before.  

I just needed a heavy duty stapler. I live in the sticks, 60 miles from the nearest store of any significance.  Reluctantly, I ordered it through Office Depot on line because they guarantee overnight service.  After thinking about it, I also ordered two packets of binder clips because I was running a bit low.   The next day, the binder clips arrived in a big box with nothing else.  So, I called them and got an apology and they said that I would definitely have the stapler the next day, a Friday.  

Well, no stapler, so I called them again and they told me that they had shipped the day before as promised, but they were too late to get it here overnight, so it would be here Monday.  Monday came and no stapler arrived.  I called again.  This time, the girl told me that the previous reps had lied to me and that she was guaranteeing delivery Tuesday.  I asked her why the problem and she told me, believe it or not, that UPS has actually returned the first stapler because it was wrong, and a new one was on its way.  Well, the shipping slip said three items all in one carton.  Is UPS going to open the carton and check the contents?  I think not; they never have.  

Tuesday comes and no stapler, so I called again and asked for a supervisor.  The agent would not let me speak to a supervisor until she had taken my name, order number, customer number, phone number and blah, blah blah.  Then, she proceeded to start to tell her own version of what was going on and I had to make it clear that I wanted to speak with a supervisor.  When I got this guy on the phone, he proceeded to tell me that it was on the UPS truck and would be delivered today, (Tuesday).  I told him the UPS truck had long since come and gone and he assured me that it would be here... "it was shipped yesterday" in plenty of time.  

He then had the audacity to suggest that, if I was having a big problem with this, why don't I just go to the store and buy one?  That really ticked me off, like he is so great at customer service he's chastising me for using his internet store?  Well, I finally came unglued and he told me to hang on while he called UPS.  Now, either he hung up, or the call got dropped, but he never called back.  He did have my number, you know.  

About an hour later, UPS called and said they had my package and that it had been shipped late the day before and had come in too late to be delivered today.  When I told him my story, he said, "They lied."  

Yes, they lied.  One person on Thursday, two on Friday, two on Monday and this supervisor all lied.  That tells me that they now have lousy service and so many complaints that they have developed a culture of lying to people just to get them off the phone.  That kind of a culture goes all of the way to the top echelon of a company.  And, maybe that explains why the last time I was in an Office Depot, it was deserted.  

They need to pack their bags and go out of business.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.

PELOSI THROWS SNIT

SPECIAL POST

In an under-reported story of great interest to the populace, the illustrious Capitol has-been Fancy Nancy Pelosi got her nose bent out of joint when His Holiness, The Oligarch of the White House, didn't consult her on the recent budget negotiations.  She is said to have been stomping around the halls of Congress, bad mouthing the President and his kennel of Czars.  

One thing is for certain: She threatened in outright retaliation to vote "No" on the "compromise" deal brokered by The Oligarch.  She evidently had been stung by the uncaring, self-absorbed attitude of the President who obviously recognizes that she can no longer do anything for him.  Gosh, gee whillickers: impotency has stricken the broom lady. 

And, by the way, she did vote "No."

U.S. DEBT RATING PLUNGES INTO TOILET

SPECIAL POST

Standard & Poors, (S&P) has downgraded the U.S. debt risk from "Standard" to "Negative"  and the stock markets have taken an instant dive:

  • The economy of the U.S. is flexible and highly diversified, the country's effective monetary policies have supported output growth while containing inflationary pressures, and a consistent global preference for the U.S. dollar over all other currencies gives the country unique external liquidity.
  • Because the U.S. has, relative to its 'AAA' peers, what we consider to be very large budget deficits and rising government indebtedness and the path to addressing these is not clear to us, we have revised our outlook on the long-term rating to negative from stable.
  • We believe there is a material risk that U.S. policymakers might not reach an agreement on how to address medium- and long-term budgetary challenges by 2013; if an agreement is not reached and meaningful implementation does not begin by then, this would in our view render the U.S. fiscal profile meaningfully weaker than that of peer 'AAA' sovereigns.

This action affirms Americans' fears that our Congress has not taken the bull by the horns in addressing our national financial condition.  We're in trouble.  We need to take action.  This is serious stuff, and the damned politics need to get tossed out the window or we need to toss the politicians out of the Capitol. 
We cannot wait or dawdle any longer.

OBAMA’S BUDGET ALIENATES SENIOR CITIZENS



Obama’s plan calls for Medicare and Medicaid cuts against seniors and a Federal Government board to require justification for medical treatments for seniors.  This is another attempt like the one he tried to hide in his health care bill and reminiscent of the “death squads.”  In his repeated attempts to deny or curtail senior medical care, he is making it abundantly clear that he wants those of us who still remember who is really in charge of this government to dry up and blow away… the sooner the better.    

But, it only gets worse. 


Thursday, Obama delivered some of his harshest criticism yet about his recent battle with Republicans to fund the government in FY2011.  It appears that he did not intend for everybody to hear him.  While listening to an audio feed from a Chicago fundraiser Thursday night, CBS News reporter Mark Knoller heard Obama speaking with donors after other reporters had left the room. The president really opened up about his disdain for the recent GOP pushback:

  • "I said, 'You want to repeal health care? Go at it. We'll have that debate. You're not going to be able to do that by nickel-and-diming me in the budget. You think we're stupid?'" Obama reportedly said.  He also complained about GOP attempts to attach a bill to the resolution to fund the government that would defund Planned Parenthood.
  • "Put it in a separate bill," the president said he told House Speaker John Boehner and his staff. "We'll call it up. And if you think you can overturn my veto, try it. But don't try to sneak this through."  

  • The president also made it clear he is no fan of Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), the GOP's Budget Committee chairman.  "When Paul Ryan says his priority is to make sure, he's just being America's accountant ... This is the same guy that voted for two wars that were unpaid for, voted for the Bush tax cuts that were unpaid for, voted for the prescription drug bill that cost as much as my health care bill--but wasn't paid for," Obama reportedly said. 
Obama’s contemptuous stances on this and many other issues are wearing thin with most Americans; it shows in the public opinion polls.  His continuous lies, spins, fabrications and manipulations are being noted by more and more of us every day.  The time is fast approaching when we will have our vengeance, and the $1 billion that George Soros and his buddies have put together to buy the 2012 election are likely to go down the toilet.  

In the meantime, America’s seniors are madder than hell.
