Same OLE Same "O"

It is becoming increasing difficult to accept the actions being taken these days. Congress continues to plug away at Healthcare Reform and it appears the Democrats will accept nothing but a bill that includes abortion and the public option. Obama states that Healthcare Reform won’t cover abortions but the Senate Majority won’t allow any language in the bill that excludes it. Isn’t that just another way of including it?

Not all is lost. Congress did find a way to spend another $300,000,000.00 on their budget. While we all cut, they continue to spend. So the Administration cut $120 Million from the budget earlier this year and Congress ads it back three-fold.

Now Obama finds that his celebrity is needed in Denmark to win the 2016 Olympics for his beloved Chicago. He will be the first sitting president to ever lobby the International Olympic Committee. With all that is going on in America and the World today, the 2016 Olympics should be listed very low on the list of priorities. It seems to me that Obama will reward anyone who helped in any way to help him get his prominence. I suspect there will be camera’s for him to speak to.

Iran’s Vice President Ali Akbar Salehi, reiterated on Tuesday that the Islamic republic will not discuss its "nuclear rights" at the upcoming meeting with the six world powers in Geneva. Tomorrow that meeting takes place and our loquacious president will attempt to talk the Iranians into cooperating with IAEA goals of non-proliferation. If it is not open to discussion, what’s to discuss? Perhaps he can cozy up to them with his Muslim background and soft peddling sales pitch. Look for some tough sanctions here. Obama will is likely to sanction Q-tips and California Wines. Oh the pain.

Over the last several days I have been inundated with requests for political donations for 2010 campaigns. What is so disturbing about this is that most of these candidates are only mildly better, if at all, that those in office now. Sorry. I am only voting for and supporting those who will truly give the Government back to the people. I am so ready for those people to announce their candidacy. I suspect I am not alone.

Es Obama estúpido? (Updated)

We knew when he was elected that he was inexperienced but what we’ve found out since would fill volumes. In the latest round of the Administration’s wisdom, the Administration is removing 384 Border Patrol agents from the US – Mexico border. This comes at a time when drug violence has escalated exponentially. They plan to reassign the agents to the Canadian border. I have an idea. Finish the friggin’ wall and hire some more agents in the meantime. There are plenty of good applicants for these “shovel ready” jobs.

Secondly, Mr. Obama believes that he finally has Iran in a corner. He believes that he can talk them into giving up their Nuclear Weapons program. Who is this guy? The only one nuttier than Ahmadinejad is anyone who believes’ that they can negotiate with this loon. Okay. So Iran has been lying to and stalling off the world for years on the nuclear question. This week they reveal to the UN that they have another Nuclear Enrichment plant hidden underground on a military base. France and England hammer Iran in statements to the UN. Yes that is correct. France's President Nicolas Sarkozy laid down the law to Iran as did the UK's Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Obama makes a statement about equal to the threat of a child’s “time-out” and demands Iran must have a "serious, meaningful dialogue". Sure Obama. They will talk, and talk, and talk, and build the bomb, and sell enriched uranium, and talk. Obama; your speeches to them have the same effect as the ones you make to us: Yawn!

Lastly, Mr. Obama got everyone at the G20 to agree to reform the world economy, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, clean up the air, and use less disposable diapers. Ok. The diapers part wasn’t discussed. Anyway, everyone agreed to agree to something that has no teeth and cannot be enforced.

Regardless of your take on Global Warming nothing Obama got the G20 to agree to will matter. Surely he will tout it as serious progress as will the Pravda faux news agencies ABC, NBC, CBS, and MSNBC. In the meantime the longer this guy is in office the less secure we become unless of course he TALKS THE BAD GUYS TO DEATH.

And can anyone explain what this is all about???




9/27/2009 10:00 a.m. CST. UPDATES. Notice at the end of this video from Pittsburg's WTAE Channel 4 they report this person is David Chapinka (Spelling???). He is suspected of property damage among other things.



Also, Iran fired off 2 shortrange missles in defiance of the UN's condemnation of Iran's nuclear ambitions. They plan to fire off a long range missle tomorrow that is capable of reaching Israel and US military bases. So much for contrition.

Lastly, in response to General McCrystals request for more troop for Afghanistan the Administration has decided to postpone a decision for a couple of weeks while they rethink their strategy.

The Difference a Week Makes

It has been more than a week since I last posted and I would like to update some changes. Funds have been cutoff to ACORN and Obama has been totally ignorant that ACORN was receiving large sums of taxpayer funds. Hum. Wasn’t it Obama that signed the Stimulus Bill? Apparently he didn’t read it!

General McCrystal states that he needs more troops for Afghanistan. Actually this was leaked info and the formal request is due to reach Obama today or tomorrow. Let me be clear that I do not like war. That said, either do it and be done with it or get out. As I understand it now there is turmoil within Obama’s party about whether to send or not send troops. This from a man who campaigned that he would do whatever it takes. It looks like the 3am call has come and no one was home.

Healthcare is still being pushed and promoted on TV, Radio, and in Print. There is still no bill but if there were one it is being promoted. I am sorry but I have difficulty wrapping my mind around how to be for something that doesn’t exist but if it did I should be for it but for now just believe that it will be and it will be fine and…

Of course Mr. Obama did address the U.N. with his usual level of teleprompter aptitude. His speeches were of course covered by TV which is the way he likes them. He does like TV you may know. He spent the weekend touring all the news shows except Fox and ended up on Monday with Letterman. I find them equally funny.

Let’s see. What did I forget? Oh yeah. There were 1000 protesters outside of the U.N. They were protesting Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi. I dug this link up out of
Australia. It appears our media was more concerned about where Kadhafi would sleep and whether Ahmadinejad and Obama would shake hands. Don’t misunderstand. If I were to meet Obama it would be questionable whether I would shake his hand: Swine Flu epidemic and all.
