OBAMA, WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH, SAY SOMETHING.

hello america! obama, the more you talk, the less i hear you say.

again, this past friday, obama opened his mouth & the stock markets fell. i'm telling you there is a direct relationship between what he says & the stock markets reaction---they don't trust him either &, today, being sunday, when geithner offeres his budget plan to us on monday or tuesday, i'm willing to wager that the markets drop even more. obama you say you don't watch the markets daily & yet, you have the nerve to tell us to invest in them?

obama says that closing gitmo poses no threat to our national security---well, that should make it simple:::just let the detainees go. he can't even line up countries for them to go to. what part of that does he not understand? obama, if the detainees own country doesn't want them, to include some of the other radical countries, they must still present a threat. either you are very stupid or you're listening to the wrong people.....i think it's a combination of both.

obama, have you told the american people that for us to produce wind & solar on a massive scale within our borders, it will cost a lot more then you previously told us? with about 80% of the manufacturing market already overseas, it will be harder for us to do it as cheaply as you want us to believe. but you could have told them they we will be the major installers of it.

obama, have you told the american people that one of the reasons for congress to continue to bail out these failing companies is because they have investments in them----didn't think i knew of that, did you?

obama, have you told the american people that congress failed in its duties (to include you) to protect america from the present financial situation because of the campaign money they received & that, i'm asking you to return it & that, that is your main reason for changing the subject to your financial plans for america?

obama, have you told the american people that you have no plans to begin investigations into the actions of those that chaired the various agencies that were supposed to be watching & regulating the financial industry? such as, barney franks, chris dodd, baucus, rangle??? if not, why not? they had to turn their heads in order not to see what has happened. & yet, you want to have your att gen investigate Bush & gitmo. i heard you say something like "open & honest" government---try living up to it.

obama, have you told the american people that by everybody focusing on future bonus payouts, we don't have to focus on the real problems that allowed this mess to happen? i.e...you, acorn & others 'sueing' banks & lenders to force them to give loans to those that were less then credit-worthy--& then you blame Bush because those people couldn't afford to make good on those loans--you're very good at spinning the truth but, i feel you've crossed the line &, have lied to the american people about why we have this economic mess because you had a role in the fall of the housing market &, you can't erase that part of your history. &, i'm not sorry, i do my homework diligently.

obama, have you told the american people just how indebted we are to china? have you told them what's going to happen when china comes to collect that debt? have you told them why you want america to remain in debt to china? i can't hear you.

obama, did you tell the american people that now is the time for the defense department to reduce their budget by at least 10% because now is the time russia is saying they are going to revamp their military & nukes? if you are sincere about going ahead with your plans for the defense department to reduce their budget while you look to do away with 'unproven' weapon systems, you're less american then i previously thought.

obama, i didn't see you on tv at that caterpiller plant telling them that your bailout bill couldn't help them & that you're sorry they had to lay off an additional 2,542 workers after you told them that your bill would stop that. incidentally, how many "poor" people do you think can afford to buy all that new, shiny equipment they produce?

obama, have you told the american people just how feeble your 787 billion dollar bill was & still is? have you told them that it couldn't save 3,000 postal workers from losing their jobs?

obama, have you told the american people that no matter what amount of money you poor into the education system, the quality of education will not be increased until you can improve the quality of that schools atmosphere & the atmosphere of the surrounding area?

obama, i must ask you about your aunt. is she still here &, if so, why? you said you want to get rid of the programs that don't work & yet, she's illegally been here all this time reaping the benefits that the american taxpayers pay for. why? & for how much longer? she was ordered out of the country by a judge---what's the delay? or, are they stalling her deporture while waiting for nancy pelosi to make it legal for her to stay? which is it obama?

obama, have you told the american people that by you banning mexican trucks on our highways, the mexican government is charging us more for their imports to us? congress wrote & passed the bill & you signed it into law & now, you must find a way around it. hindsight could have been avoided if you had allowed congress & the public to review the bill before it was voted on.

obama, have you told america that you are very simular to George Bush? your sticking by sec of treasury, timothy geithner, is very simular to Bush standing by some of his people &, geithner's been telling us about his great plan for america for over a month & still, has told us nothing. plus, afghanistan is turning out like iraq did. where is your heart? &, before long we are going to have to have troops on the borders for mexico & we will get drawn into the fighting in the mountains overseas where we think obama is.

obama, have you told the american people what it will cost them per house-hold to convert to wind or solar? why not? there are figures out there & you have not mentioned any of them, even for a 1-story 1-bedroom home. did you also tell them that the poles & lines might run right through their backyard & that they will have no say in the matter? what did you say? i didn't hear you.

obama, you want americans to support your budget & yet, nothing you have signed into law has worked. why should they trust you now? in fact, you'd rather spend our money overseas on abortions then spend it here on our veterans---sadly & truthfully, that's sad-assed thinking. & even more so when you campaigned on behalf of small businesses & have done very little to help them.

obama, have you told america that your 'carbon tax' or 'cap & trade tax' will ruin most small businesses? why not? yet, you were so quick to jump in front of the camera & take credit for the 25 cadets hired in ohio. be honest with my country.

obama, have you told america that charities are really starting to feel your stupid intentions? why are you so quiet on this subject? I mean, you said you want to raise the tax on the wealthy & restrict what they can write off &, you want to raise the tax on small businesses---why not man up & tell the people that needy charities are hurting because of your plans?

obama, i could go & on, but, hopefully, you got the message. &, if your staff is going through 40,000 letters a day & you only respond to 10 of them to get a cross-view of america, you are full of crap. did you get my letter & if not, why not &, if so, are you man enough to respond to it in public?-----I THOUGHT NOT.

obama, it's a lovely thing to be able to read but, if everytime you have to say something to the american people it has to be tele-prompted, you must not know the subject. YEAH, I KNOW. IT MAKES YOU LOOK GOOD-YEAH, RIGHT.

obama, did you tell america how much it will cost those that lost their jobs to retain their health insurance under your plans? about $1000 per month. & yet, i have people telling me that this is such a great thing...you've got them blinded also. how can you be on unemployment compensation, pay your rent &/or mortgage & your other bills & then, afford an extra $1000 per month for health coverage? (i've got conflicting numbers here but, i think the national figure comes closer to $1,200.)---but, after all, what do i know? i know that when you're receiving unemployment compensation, you are taking home less then when you were working---(you lose about 1/3 at least)---that's a fact that seems to be getting lost in the argument for your plan.

obama, did you tell the american people that you not only signed executive orders in favor of unionized labor but, that you support legislation (which is already floating aroung congress) which will do away with the secret ballot allowing unions to spring up everywhere more easily?

obama, did you tell the american people that those doing work throuth your infrastructure bill, will be paid the same as unionized workers for that area?

obama, it's called trust & you are losing that with the america people-i don't need a survey, i have the people all around me voicing their opinions.

GET REAL & DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THIS GREAT NATION THAT YOU SO SEEMINGLY WANT TO SOCIALIZE.

for someone who talks as well & as much as you do, you really don't say a lot, do you? especially when there is so much out there to talk about. i didn't vote for you because I know more about bin laden then i do you &, i didn't trust you. THANK YOU FOR CONFIRMING MY SKEPTICISM ABOUT YOU.

hello america!
all of the following information comes from the center for responsive politics @ opensecrets.org & is a breakdown of which politician received money from some of the failed &/or failing companies that have received tax payer bailout funds:::::::::as you can see, i've taken the time to put it together for you &, i hope you will take the time to click on each site & then, see for yourselves why we are in this mess today. some of the names you will see at or near the top of every list are the very same people that are that are yelling the loudest for aig bonuses not to be paid out. however, you have not heard one word from these same people about returning one penny they received from these companies. also, please bear in mind that many of our elected officials have investments in these companies...also, this list is by no means complete & there are overseas failing or failed companies not mentioned.

america, if our elected officials are allowed to either reclaim or tax the aig bonuses, they should be 'forced' to return all campaign money they received from aig & any other company that received federal 'bailout' money.

if we allow our elected officials to continue to receive funding from corporations/companies, their oversight of these entities will be clouded & prejudiced towards them. this process has to be outlawed::::chris dodd, barney franks, harry reid, shumer &, rangle are prime examples of this. but, there are also plenty of republicans that turn their head when money is involved. & america, you know i'm right. if you run for office with verizon putting hundreds of thousands of dollars in your campaign war chest, you are going to vote on issues that favor them & vice-verse. &, i would also because i want those dollars in the future. but, the first time i voted on a bill against them, they will go out & find somebody else to back &, i'd lose those dollars.

AMERICA, CONTACT YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS & TELL THEM TO INTRODUCE LEGISLATION 'FORCING' THE 'SITTING' ELECTED OFFICIALS TO RETURN ALL MONEY RECEIVED FROM ALL ENTITIES THAT RECEIVED FEDERAL BAILOUT FUNDS.

ALSO TELL THEM THEY MUST PUT LAWS ON THE BOOKS TO PROHIBIT THEM FROM RECEIVING MONEY FROM COMPANIES/CORPORATIONS WITH NO EXCEPTIONS.

hello america! obama, you talk a good game & i'm here to call you out on it.

you are a punk & i am tired of your punkish ways & here's why.........................

firstly, if you wanted to show america how sincere you are about putting us on the right track, you'd have returned every penny that you received from the companies that received federal bailout money. but no, you havn't even mentioned the millions you've gotten & plan on keeping &/or spent. & yet, you get on tv & say that the AIG execs getting those bonuses is outrageous. that $100,000 plus you received from them is just to be ignored? i don't think so. when they made their decision to give you that money, you didn't complain then------why now? i know you're trying to show the rest of america how concerned & upset you want them to believe you are but, you & i know better &, i'm going to let the rest of america know also.

secondly, you came out of the side of your mouth in touting timothy geithner as the best man for the job...more crap. this weasle is extremely weak & can't function under pressure. so, i ask you, would you hire a child molester to babysit your daughters? would you put your money in a failing/failed bank? would you hire a convicted robber to guard your bank? no to all---why then hire a tax-evader to run the tax department???? spin it all you want & can but, we both know you were & are wrong. geithner is not the man for that position & you would have been better served getting a 'bookie' off the streets of new york to cruch the numbers for america.

thirdly, you talk about inheriting this mess from george bush but, let's be real. you & the rest of our elected officials are the problem. when people see the amounts of money you & the rest of our elected officials--both dems & repubs--received from companies & banks that have received federal bailout money, they too will know exactly why we are in this mess. &, you have the audacity to speak about greed...when all of those entities were stuffing your campaign war chest with their money, you never said anything about greed. &, you're 2-faced &, we both know it. that is just one reason why i cannot, as a true american, blindly support you.

fourthly, you hide behind that rhetoric you keep spewing & you recently said that the buck stops with you. that being the case (but only if you're sincere), tell the american people how you used the very same system you blame george bush for to sue citigroup. please be upfront & honest &, tell them that you & acorn are partly responsible for the present housing/mortgage problems of
today & stop blaming the bush era for it. after all, you sued citygroup to force them to make loans to people that couldn't afford to repay them way back there in 1993.

fifthly, you run around the country putting fear in the american people about this economic mess. &, then you tell them that they can only be 'saved' if congress gets your bills to your desk for your signature.....more crap. your first bill was written in the backrooms of washington, rushed to the floors of the house & senate without giving congress the time to read them & then, the democrat controled congress passed it with extremely little help from the republicans. then you're on the trail again telling us this will save america. i remember when you went to illinios to tout your bill & promising that it would save future jobs at the caterpillar plant. yet, they just recently announced futher cuts of 2,454 more jobs. &, this is why i call you a punk. you went to ohio to take credit for 25 cadets that got hired because of your bill---remember? why aren't you taking credit for the 2,454 lost jobs that your bill couldn't save?

in addition, by not giving congress or the public time to read the bill, things are put in it that shouldn't be there & vice-verse. & now, you want to make amends for that by going after the execs bonus money. that's not right because you have every intention of keeping the campaign money they gave you. what's fair about you can & they can't? but, getting back to the bill::::if i remember correctly, you were the man saying you would bring transparency to the white house. obama, how transparent is geithner & dobbs doing last minute backroom deals on a bill that you say we needed in order to avoid a catastropy we may never recover from? &, because of all the other lies you've told america, i don't believe you did not know about the bonuses...geithner had to have your permission & i don't care what you say. that pansy can't even fart unless he checks with you about it. the open & honest government you promised america is non-existent.

so, yes, i call you a punk & you now know why &, the sorry thing about all this is, you know damn well i'm right.

AMERICA, I'M GETTING THERE

hello america! after a lot of research, i'm right back where i started---the truth.

1.....laws have to be placed on the books (with no loop-holes) that politicians can only accept contributions from individual americans with no exceptions.
2.....laws have to be placed on the books (retroactive) to 'force' our sitting lawmakers to return every penny they received from every entity that received federal 'bailout' funds from the federal government---no exceptions.
3.....laws have to be placed on the books to compel our politicians to account for every penny received & this should be retroactice with #2 above.
4.....laws have to be placed on the books that will give the majority of a city, state &/or the country the power to issue an immediate recall on any elected politician that the majority deems not 'doing their job' & fire them through special elections. no more of this waiting for them to finish out their term. if they lie to us, deceive us or do not actually do the will of the majority they are subject to being recalled.
5.....laws have to be placed on the books that give the public & the politicians ample time to 'proof-read' the bills that they have to vote on. this gives american time to voice their oppinions & it gives politicians time to add &/or weed out crap.
6.....laws have to be placed on the books to ensure that all elected officials have input on the various bills they must then vote on. this law has to be mandatory.
7.....laws have to be placed on the books (retroactive to include all 'sitting' politicians) to make available to the public all facets of their life & if the politician won't or doesn't comply, they cannot be voted into that office.
8.....laws have to be placed on the books that strip our elected officials of the power to vote themselves raises & costs of living adjustments unless they apply them to all americans at the same time.
9.....laws have to be placed on the books that mandate pensions only after 20 years of continuos service.
10...laws have to be placed on the books that all of the above include the president of this great nation on down.

AMERICA, I NEED YOU TO STAND UP AS 1

hello america! i've said this last year, i've said it this year &, i'll probably have to say it again: obama is not good for this great nation. he didn't support a bill that would have made desecrating the american flag illegal &, he has no military experience. &, as you're about to soon find out, he has no valid foreign policy experience.

he has laid the ground work for the closing of gitmo &, he now has to figure out what to do with those detainees. some of them he wants tried in our court systems---imagine that. & this from the man that kept telling us how many lives were lost in iraq---he wants to give the enemy the same rights that we americans have. &, who can forget the families that lost loved ones pleading with him about gitmo & he just blew them off.

obama has asked the defense department to trim its budget & he wants to scrap certain weapon systems & downsize our nuke pile. &, at the same time, he wants to sit down with our enemies & extend his hand in friendship while eating apple pie with them. is it any wonder that there was nothing in his appropriations bill for the military, the defense &, the veterans?

he's continuing to sell our future to china which is going to cause all hell when they come to collect what we owe them. & yet, he's posturing about how 'fundamentally sound' our economy is to them &, then telling us how bad it is. he even sent hilary 'the flunky' clinton over there to persaude them to continue to buy america & all the while, they were flexing their own muscles---&, they not only have some big ones, they have a lot of them. &, now china has its leader questioning our financial status---good luck with that one obama.

obama has even invited iran to the dinner table & nothing is going to stop that country in its quest for nukes short of war. what part of that does obama not understand?

north korea is trying its best to provoke a confrontation & japan says they may shoot the missle down if north korea sends it up---that's called BALLS obama, not pebles. but, you wouldn't know about that, would you. you want them to come to dinner to.

obama sent his flunky to talk with russias leader & then told us it was about the missle deployment system we want to put over there & a supply line for our troops. & yet, today i read something that i find very upsetting & i encourage you to at least read it...i don't know if you can just click on it & get there but the address is right & you may have to type it in---i'm still learning this thing.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090317/wl_afp/russianatomilitarynuclear

basically, russia wants to up-scale it's nukes & army. need i say more? you know i will, but should i even have to? yes, i should. obama scares me because he has no military experience &, just talking about something only works in washington.

obama, i don't know what those idiots you've surrounded yourself with are telling you but, we need to remain ahead of all the rest when it comes to the military, their needs & their equipment. &, there's no way in hell we can do that if you cut their budget & impose your stupid restrictions on new weapon systems. WE HAVE TO BE STATE OF THE ART & if you can't or won't keep us STATE OF THE ART, resign & move your ass out of my country & take your aunt with you.

america, i almost forgot this. obama wants to tax &/or charge veterans for their service connected injuries. i mean it seems fair, doesn't it? join the service, get a service connected injury & then pay cash for it. obama is not for america & those that elected him now know it. thank you very much & i can only hope he's living up to your expectations.

obama not only bit off more then he can chew, he can't even get it into his mouth. he's always been for spending & now he has to find a way to pay for some of that spending. &, i understand that---just don't sell out my country & don't bother the vets.

YES, I AM UPSET

hello america! assuming i get all of the following correct, you're going to be very upset with yourselves. &, you're going to be upset with me for pointing it all out to you. so, let's get to it..

i'm very upset & it has nothing to do with the economy, my sex life or, the fact that they don't make cowboy movies like they used to. i'm upset because, once again, our elected officials (both dems & repubs) are blowing more then smoke up our butts with the AIG bonus payouts.

first, i know, in my heart, that our federal government knew about them from the beginning. &, if you take the path that they didn't know about them, please explain why legislation was put into the tarp bills & the amendments to ban, limit, &/or collect them?

secondly, our federal government knew when they passed the first bailout bill that they had no true oversight in it. &, if it wasn't for some of the media questioning the banks as to where that money went, nothing would have been said at all. some of the media questioned some of the banks as to where the money was going & the banks responded by saying they didn't know. one bank purchased another bank overseas, banks merged, they paid out exec bonuses, etc.

thirdly, when all this sub-prime crap hit the fan in 2008, george bush may have been president but, the house & senate were democrat controled &, they are totally responsible for the first bailout bill even with bush signing it into law. for that matter, they've been in control of washington since 2006 so, the buck has to stop there. you should all know that the president can't pass the bills into law by himself &, more importantly, the democrats had & have the power to stop anything they didn't want in a bill. in fact, it's because of them that a simple 3-page bill proposal submitted to the house ballooned into a 451-page ($700 billion) law. (PLEASE GO TO wikipedia.org & look up EMERGENCY ECONOMIC STABILIZATION ACT OF 2008)
you & the dems can blame bush all you want for this mess but, the record is clear on who did or didn't do what &, when they did or didn't do it.

fourthly, let's talk about 'campaign war chests' &, let's be real about them. big corporations can afford to hire lobbyists to influence our lawmakers to do their biddings & have been doing so since the creation of our government. they also "contribute" big donations to the lawmakers campaign funds, (this should be outlawed). reason being, the corporations money & lobbying efforts are repaid by the way lawmakers vote in favor of them whether it be yea or nay. a prime example is girly-boy barney franks & what he received from fannie mae & all the times he feverently opposed stronger regulation on them. & fannie put over $165,000 in chris dodds war chest---obama (second on that list) only got a mere $124,000 from them. this money influenced them to vote in favor of whatever would help fannie mae---look at the record for yourself. but, we're not done here &, it's going to get very dicey from here on in.

fifthly, obama, chris dodd & all the other robotic elected officials are crying for blood from AIG exec bonus payouts &, what really sucks, they've influenced you to cry out to. WHY? if you really want to cry out, please go to opensecrets.org & research an article tittled "BEFORE THE FALL, AIG PAYMENTS WENT TO WASHINGTON". there are several reputable sites you can go to to research this, so, don't get stuck on just one. that's your homework, america. anyway, regardless of which site you go to that watches campaign contributions, you'll come up with the same thing i came up with. this exec bonus thing is crap & takes our minds off of the real issues of today. if you went to opensecrets or elsewhere, you'll know where i'm coming from...
...if our elected officials were as serious as they would like us to believe they are about those bonuses being paid out, shouldn't they set the example first? what the hell are you talking about knowitall? obama & the rest of the robots are saying that since AIG received taxpayer dollars, they don't want the bonuses to be paid out. &, there is even talk of them putting laws on the book to recoup them if they are paid out or tax them. well, i'm of two minds on this-if the contracts were signed prior to any bailout money-pay the execs. if there is any funny-business in the contracts-don't pay them. however, AIG is failing even with our money & i think that our lawmakers should go out of their way to 'prove' to us just how sincere they are about protecting our money.

chris dodd received a total of $280,238. from AIG
obama received a total of $107,322. from AIG
max baucus received a total of $90,ooo. from AIG
that's $477,570. for just the three of them (&, dodd & baucus chair committees that are supposed to be watching them.) & yes, there are a bunch of repubs on that same list.
ALL THREE HAVE SPOKEN OUT ABOUT THE EXEC BONUSES-cool-if they want to show me how sincere they are, they each should return that money to AIG. obama is telling timothy geithner to do all he can to keep the execs from getting their bonuses...what he should be doing is telling congress to give him a bill that will force our 'sitting' elected lawmakers to return all contributions to any companies that we taxpayers have had to bailout. &, that's the bottom line.

none of our elected officials want to talk about which company gave them what regardless of the times. moreso in these dire times. however, if these officials want to get up in public & tell us what an outrage it is for the execs to get the kind of money they get in bonuses, why won't they be just as upfront about telling us that these same execs were responsible for contributions to their 'campaign war chests'? &, without being asked to, return that money to the failing or failed companies that received taxpayer dollars.

so, before you paint this rosey picture of obama looking out for you, ask him to return that money to fannie mae, freddie mack, AIG &, any other company that he has received money from that we have bailed out.

can you do that america? will you do that america?

i told you once that obama was & is not for us &, if you were to take the time to send him an e-mail, letter, or phone call in reference to him returning that money---you'll know i spoke the truth. not once have you heard him speak of returning any of his 'campaign war chest'-not once.
for that matter, i've not heard of anybody esle talking about this.

so, before you cry, don't you think that if the execs have to lose their bonuses, shouldn't those that received money from them have to return it? fair is fair & you have a voice so, please use it. we control what is done in washington & we control who does it. SPEAK UP AMERICA---SPEAK UP!

& obama, i know the difference between a doctor putting his gloved finger up my butt to check for lumps & a log being shoved up there...you can keep your log.

now, the democrats would not be in control of crap without the majority of you voting for them---so take that to heart. &, don't get me wrong; i'm not saying the repubs would have done any better but, please remember a 3-page bill would not have you paying for a high speed rail service from las vegas to los angelos for harry reid. &, when you hear these elected officials tell you that the bills passed this year contained repub add-ons, remember that the dems have the power to make the bills on their own &, your president has the power to veto them. but no, he signs the bill into law & then tells you he will be more responsible in the future about 'earmarks'. yeah, right!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

hello america! i know you heard obama campaigning around the country in his run for the presidency denounce "the failed economic policies of george bush" &, he is currently blaming the situation that he "inherited" on the republicans. yeah, i know-old news. well, i said all that to say this----out of everybody in the obama camp, to include obama, there is only one person that seems to have any credibility when they speak.

now, if i told you this person was a holdover from the george bush camp, you wouldn't believe me, & yet, when he speaks-congress listens, the stock market responds favorably &, the media prints him as someone who knows what they are talking about.

america, i give you ben bernanke chairman of the federal reserve. &, with all the blame obamas throwing around i have to wonder why he kept him on instead of nominating his own man for the job.

just food for thought-that's all.
