U.S. Labor Department announces release of nearly $207 million in unemployment insurance modernization incentive funds to New Jersey
New Jersey is 1st state to be certified for funds under Recovery Act
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Labor today announced the release of $206,823,364 in unemployment insurance (UI) modernization incentive funds to the state of New Jersey. New Jersey qualified for the funds available under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act) by making state unemployment benefits available to part time workers, extending benefits for UI beneficiaries in training and allowing workers to use their more recent earnings to qualify for benefits. New Jersey's approved application will be posted at the department's Employment and Training Administration Web site at http://www.doleta.gov/recovery/.
"New Jersey's UI program has been updated to better meet the needs of the 21st century labor force," said Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. "The modernization provisions in New Jersey's UI program help unemployed workers who have entered the workforce recently, work part time or need training to get a new job receive benefits they deserve."
The New Jersey Department of Labor can use the funds to pay unemployment benefits or, if appropriated by the legislature, for administering its unemployment insurance program or delivering employment services.
"During these difficult economic times, New Jersey has been committed to helping our unemployed citizens get back on their feet again," said Gov. Jon S. Corzine. "Because of the state's progressive and innovative UI program, and making the right decisions at the right time, New Jersey is the first state to qualify for its entire UI modernization incentive funding. This will bolster the New Jersey Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund and continue to provide much needed benefits to our workers."
The Recovery Act made a total of $7 billion available in UI modernization incentive payments to states that include certain eligibility provisions in their UI programs. Each state can qualify for a share of those funds by showing that its law includes those provisions. New Jersey is the first state to be certified for its share by the Labor Department.

RUSH, I'M WITH YOU
hello america! let me ask you: when you root for your team to win, does that you mean you're rooting for the other team to fail? if you want rusty wallace to win, does that mean you want jeff gordon to lose? the answer should be yes to both.
let's go a step further: as a military veteran receiving benefits from a service connected injury, i am rooting against obama messing with the system & charging me for the medical attention i need. does that mean i want him to fail? you're damn right i do when it comes to my benefits.
however, there are other areas i root for him: such as; putting more police on the streets---tax cuts/breaks---border control---other then those issues, obama has done nothing i really support or approve of 100%.
so, do i want him to fail? yes i do because (just maybe) we can endure 4 years of his crap & then right the ship he so desperately wants to sink. his failure will lead to his being fired by smart americans in the next presidential election.
now, there are those that want to brand me un-american &, they tell me that if i want obama to fail, i want our country to fail. as usual, they have it backwards...i want our country to flourish &, obama has done nothing to allow that to happen. in fact, regardless of what obama does, it's going to take us 2-3 years to get back to where we were before he took office. americans are suffering now &, he's doing nothing &, has done nothing to relieve that suffering except get on tv with his teleprompters to tell you what a good job he's doing.
obama is a fake & judging his actions, he does not have america's best interest at heart. he's weak &, you true americans better hope that some of his plans do fail:
such as:::
his wanting to reduce the defense budget. what idiot is he listening to? russia's getting ready to revamp her whole military force; build 6 new nuclear subs with cruise missiles; is still helping iran; is demanding we not put a missle system in poland; is threatening to put missiles in cuba (again); &, seems willing to take us head-on when it comes to who owns the arctic (which we have claimed). russia is a very formidable opponent. then you have china (who also can shoot satellites down) &, they have been flexing their muscles. we're close to their waters mapping the ocean & they're bothering the hell out of us. the difference between us & them is, they have so much more. we're still involved in iraq & afghanistan. north korea spits in our face every time we say something to them &, we have a bunch of troops & equipment in south korea & germany. venezuela hates our guts & turkey & syria are still not to be trusted. as if all that wasn't enough, we're going to end up with our troops on our border with with mexico &, we still have to have something left over to deal with any other threats & gitmo. combine all that with the role the national guard & coast guard play during our disasters & then, tell me you want obama to succeed at reducing the defense budget. if anything, the lame-brain should be increasing the defense budget to keep our military with all of the very best of the best that technology has to offer.
& then, there are those of you that say: give him time. how much time will he have if we get caught with our pants down? he had time & did nothing with it. of the 2 big bills he signed into law (that he ran around the country touting), there was nothing in them for the military, the defense department or the veterans. give him time? assuming that iran & israel get into it, we're going to get into it---how much time will obama have? if north korea gets fired on, they're going to fire on south korea---how much time will obama have?
obama has no military experience & it shows. he lacks the brain-power to realize we are only safe when we can take the fight outside of our borders. we have to maintain that ability at all times & when we don't, we won't be able to assist our allies &, more importantly, we'll be at risk.
you don't have to have military experience to know that we cannot afford to fight a war within our own borders. maybe obama can convince an invading country to confine the fighting to within the grand canyon. after all, he's good at talking & wants to sit down to dinner with our 'enemies'.
america, contact him & tell him to increase the defense budget, put america first &, return his campaign money to the companies that received TARP money.
so yes, you're damn right i want him to fail when it comes to his lack of plans for the defense of this great & proud nation.

OBAMA,YOU BUY AMERICA
hello america! perhaps i have it wrong (DON'T BET ON IT). obama says 'buy america; invest in stocks'; etc. &, he wants to stop 'job out-sourcing'. man, this sounds like my kind of guy (YEAH, RIGHT), & yet, he's forcing chrysler to merge with fiat (a foreign car maker). what kind of crap is this? just how many fiats do you see on the roads of america? obama says he doesn't want control of them & yet, he continues to give them federal dollars:::::just like aig, fannie mae &, freddie mac. i just wonder what overseas company he will drive gm to.
obama is going to hurt us with this 'buy america' crap. if he shuts the overseas businesses out, he will take us down a path we have never traveled on before. mexico is an example of that. we shut their trucks (which were safer then our own) down from traveling our highways & they raised the tarrifs on us. they lost some revenue---we spend more to make up for it...great move obama.
another thing is: if german steel is rated the best, why would i want american inferior steel? it's not cheaper. if you're building your own home or office building, which steel do you want? if you have the money to invest in a really good car, do you buy an expensive american peice of crap one or do you get a volvo or mercedes? chevy is on tv offer 14 different cars with onstar that will call 911 if you can't---how about giving me a car that will withstand the common accident & allow me to call 911 on my own?
taxes chased a lot of american companies out of the states & unless something is done about that, they are going to remain overseas. our government is the cause of that---&, obama, it's called GREED. &, when you raise the tax on the wealthy & businesses, you can expect much more of the same.
america, please think about this:::american companies can move overseas, produce the same product better & cheaper, & import it to you while making a profit. what's wrong with that? obama is wrong with that & yet, who does he thinks make all these computers here?
another thing america...you may agree with obama & his stand on the auto industry but, wall street does not---------3:53pm/est & the dow is a minus 263.32--------&, i'll take them over you any day.

ANOTHER BROKEN PROMISE
hello america! obama promised transparency but he must not have passed the message on---fox news has had to sue his treasury under the freedom of information act to get certain records of who got what from the bailout money. if i remember correctly, this info was to be posted on obamas website freely &, for all the public to see. what happened?
anyway, please click on the following site & see for yourself:::
http://www.foxbusiness.com/story/markets/industries/government/majority-treasury-docs-secured-fbn-foia-suit-blacked/
if it wasn't for foxnews, you'd be thinking that everything was on the table to be seen but, it's not. &, if you follow msnbc, obama can do no wrong.
this is just another broken promise from obama. when you take the time to look at all of obamas promises to you, you're going to be very hard pressed to find one he hasn't broken.

TOWNHALL MEETING WAS ANOTHER JOKE
hello america! this writing is for all those that think obama is all that.
i watched the whitehouse town hall meeting with obama & his taking questions from the internet &, at first i was somewhat impressed until i realized that no one asked him a 'tough' question. no one asked why only 'cigarette smokers' were targeted to pay for his chips program. no one asked why he wants to down-size the defense budget at a time when russia & china are building theirs up. no one asked him why caterpillar & the us post office are still laying off people. no one asked him why people that are laid off have to pay more to keep their healthcare coverage. no one asked him why small businesses are still hurting. no one asked him why we don't send troops to the mexican border (if just for backup) until we get a handle on the violence down there. no one asked him why the federal government is so quick to 'take-over' failing banks/lenders. no one asked him why he hires people with current tax problems. no one asked him if he is going to return any of the money he received from those companies that received TARP money. no one asked him why he's giving money overseas for abortions when he tells us this is the time for us to make sacrifices. no one asked him why he signed a bill into law without allowing congress to read it. no one asked him if he gave timothy geithner permission to work out a deal with chris dodd on the aig execs bonuses that dodd had written.---i think these are very fair questions america wants to know (i know i want to know) regardless of who you voted for. are any of them wrong questions? above all else, they are honest questions which deserve honest answers. can you agree with that?
well, you know me, i had to start asking questions which led to my going all over the web to get answers. i didn't hear these questions raised because of the following;;;please, click on this site & see for yourself just why these questions weren't asked::::::

in being fair, the following is a complete transcript of the meeting as released from the whitehouse itself. please click on it & see if you can read what the questions that are not there.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Remarks-by-the-President-at-Open-for-Questions-Town-Hall/
as usual, obama stacked the deck &, in now knowing this, i can only think that these people & their questions were pre-screened. what do you think of that meeting now?
i liken this to my selling you a wreck of a car & when you confront me ablout it, the only thing i can tell you is that the price of gas is down.

MORE HARM TO AMERICA
hello america! we need to stop giving the auto industry money &, allow them to sort their own mess out. it's just that simple. I take my hat off to ford who refused federal money & seems to be doing okay.
obama has rejected gm's & chryslers plans, caused the ceo of gm to step down &, gave them 60 days to draw up another plan. this is crap. neither company has a product that america wants or needs at this time so, their sales will remain down. ford, on the otherhand is offering a hybrid at a decent price.
this move by obama will continue across the board. in fact, several banks, cities &, states foresaw it coming & refused federal funds &/or returned them. they did not want obama dictating to them.
while our healthcare system may need a major overhaul, we don't need it under obamas watch. once our government implements a national healthcare system, doctors & hospitals will be limited to what they can do for you---obama is going to put limitations on them &, although it may save a dollar over here, it's going to cost a life over there.......ie; you go to emergency with a broken arm---that's all they are going to treat even if you complain of chest pains or throbbing headaches---you won't get that ekg or catscan:::to expensive &, the same with mri's. government run healthcare will be a joke.
obama has his hands in everything because he, & the other democrats, want total control.....ie: the auto industry, the banking & lending industry, the housing market, the healthcare industry, the labor industry, the media industry, the census, the sports industry, the education system>>>>>&, if you didn't know it before, know it now (congress is investigating how the national college football champion is selected &, you should have heard about all those steroid investigations). &, most important of all, the government expansion market. you name it & obama either has his hand in it or is about to put his hand in it. &, don't forget the gun industry with the airlines industry on deck.
obama is going to digitalize all of our medical records (IT'S CALLED NATIONALIZATION)---people hack into government computers now so, what safe-guards can he give us that our records will remain safe? none...leave my medical records where they are::they don't need to be on the internet. just watch the repercussions---talk about idenity theft.
oh, almost forgot, the very most important one is the defense industry. did anybody ever take the time to explain to obama that he would not have bullet-proof glass or an armored vehicle to ride around in if we'd had a president that thought like him when they were first testing it? i mean, it wasn't a proven thing at first---they tested & retested & retested until they got it &, that takes money.
america, if any of you think obama has your best interests first & that he's fair, please click on this link & judge for yourself---he serves his own interests & those of who he owes.
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2009/03/27/obama_town_hall_questioners_we.html
if you support socialism/nationalism, then obama is your man but, once he implements his plans, you'll wish you had your vote back. he is going to cripple us for a long, long time. his taxing the rich & small businesses, his dictating to the various companies is going to put us in a very big hole.
america was built on capitalism &, if i can't keep my 'out-rageous' salary & bonus, why should i stay in business & hire others? just think about it....would you?
& while you're sitting there cursing me out for bashing obama, let me ask you this:::what has the american government ever run in the private sector that was a success? WHAT?

CONTACT OBAMA
hello america! i really believe that most poeple want world peace except those that are willing to strap a bomb on themselves & blow up their own people in a produce market or funeral home.
that being said, peace has a price that not many are willing to accept. seemingly, this great nation is now included in that group. &, obama is the one to thank for that.
throughout the history of this great nation, we have always been able to rise to any & all threats against us &, we did that because we always had the very best...our ships, our tanks, our planes, our weapon systems, our troops & generals, &, most important of all, our heart. our desire, as a nation, to remain free & aid others in their fight for freedom, is the cornerstone of our heritage. & now, we have an inexperienced leader that has no military experience at all, leading us in a time when the rest of the world is taking potshots at us.
&, his response to the threats against us, is to ask the defense department to reduce their budget...that is senseless. it's like asking a legless person to use their wheelchair less.
please, click on the following 2 sights & read what russia has been up to while obama just talks...

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/russia-building-antisatellite-weapons-1638270.html
now, i've said before that i'm not a war-monger however, i do believe in hit-before-being-hit. if we don't keep pace with russia & china, we will not have that advantage &, that puts us at serious risk. actually, we need to stay ahead of them when it comes to our weapon systems-both offensively & defensively. that, & that alone, has kept us relatively safe from invasion---what part of that does obama not understand. instead of inviting china & russia to the dinner table, he should be revamping our military & their capabilities.
& another thing, i have a problem with george bush & his collateral damage crap & anyone else that thinks like that. when we do go into another country, we should do so without being handcuffed by our own government---that is what led to so many fatalities in iraq:::our government handcuffing our own troops. pure BS. if another country comes over here, do you think they will care about collateral damage? common sense says that if somebody breaks into your home to do damage to you & yours &, you shoot back, &, some of the bullets hit your neighbors home yet, you stop the bad-guys, are you really going to cry about the damage done?
obama is a punk---he needs to stand up & do the right thing for this country & scalling back the budget for the defense department is not the answer. please contact him any way you can & tell him so. also tell him that now is the time for him to increase their budget.

& another thing, i have a problem with george bush & his collateral damage crap & anyone else that thinks like that. when we do go into another country, we should do so without being handcuffed by our own government---that is what led to so many fatalities in iraq:::our government handcuffing our own troops. pure BS. if another country comes over here, do you think they will care about collateral damage? common sense says that if somebody breaks into your home to do damage to you & yours &, you shoot back, &, some of the bullets hit your neighbors home yet, you stop the bad-guys, are you really going to cry about the damage done?
obama is a punk---he needs to stand up & do the right thing for this country & scalling back the budget for the defense department is not the answer. please contact him any way you can & tell him so. also tell him that now is the time for him to increase their budget.
DOUBLE STANDARDS
hello america! i'm still waiting on obama to come out & say he will return the money he received from those companies that have received TARP funds. he made such a big thing out of the AIG execs getting their bonuses (which i think was wrong) & yet, he continues to remain quiet on the subject of them financing his campaign. if it's wrong for the execs to get their bonuses, it is equally as wrong for obama to keep their money & he should be forced to return it. that goes for all the sitting elected officials &, more so, for our house of representatives who were so quick to pass a bill taxing the bonuses.
in all the talk floating around washington on how to crackdown on how TARP recipients do their business, there has not even been a peep from any of our lawmakers that would crack down on their receiving money from those companies.
again, we are experiencing the double standard that has always been a part of washington---do as i say but, not as i do. obama should lead by example, not just by mouth. he even froze certain salaries of his staff because of the present economy &, congress elected not to receive a cost of living adjustment this year. & yet, not a word has been uttered about returning any of the money they received from TARP recipients. why not?

WHERE'S YOUR MEDIA ON THIS?
hello america! i recently wrote about this. it comes from gop.gov::::::::::::

"Stimulus" Fails to Deliver the Relief the President Promised
MARCH 18, 2009
THAT WAS THEN: On February 12, President Obama visited employees at an Illinois Caterpillar plant and said, "when they [Congress] finally pass our plan, I believe it will be a major step forward on our path to economic recovery... the head of Caterpillar, said that if Congress passes our plan, this company will be able to rehire some of the folks who were just laid off. And that's a story I'm confident will be repeated at companies across the country...
" THIS IS NOW: Unfortunately, the Washington Times now reports that Caterpillar has had to cut another 2,400 jobs - with 1,700 of the jobs cut at the plant President Obama recently visited - despite the stimulus.
As the President noted last February, "you can measure America's bottom line by looking at Caterpillar's bottom line:"
america, where is obamas voice on this matter? he made such a big thing about his bill saving jobs for this company & others like it. why hasn't he said anything to the 2,400 people he gave all that hope to? is obama above apoligizing for his failing bill?
well, let's look at it this way...obama wasted no time going to ohio to take credit for the 25 cadets that were hired there (click on this site to view the full story) http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123634274699352379.html he even posed with them & said it was his bill that allowed them to be hired. america, this should show you just what type of character obama lacks::::it's called 'good' character. the proof is in the pudding. take credit for the 'good' things & just 'ignore' the bad ones.

12/11/08 $14 billion dollar bailout
hello america! the following comes from my earlier writings that i had stored on another hard drive that i recently got opened...please enjoy.
hello america! the first thing i want to talk about is the house passing the automakers 14 billion dollar bailout bill. all the democrats voted for it as did just 30 sorry-assed republicans. i cannot beleive that any of the politicians voted for it but, i am not shocked that the dems took the forefront on it (they like spending our money). anyhow, i saw all that c-span showed us &, i absorbed every word spoken. what i found extremely troubling is the dems praising the highpoints of the bill & the safeguards they installed in it &, out of all the hundreds of house members voting, not one idiot (repubs included) got up & asked this: what guarantees do the automakers give us that if they fail to adopt a comprehensible program prior to march 2009 that they will have the 14 billion dollars left to repay us? i know, you know, & those washington idiots know that the we are not going to go out there & buy all the american-made cars at this time. yes, some will but, a lot more won't. people are holding onto their money because of the economy, the housing crisis &, the unstable job market. &, as if they those same idiots didn't know it, it's christmas time & buying a new car is not number one on the list, at least it isn't for most of us.
the american auto industry has not kept pace with their foreign counterparts &, it's going to take years for them to span that gap. their prices are too high, their maintenance plans & services are too high &, their parts are too high. plus, a lot of the foreign imports get better miles per gallon. consider all the above & couple it with the following: the auto industries labor & management costs, healthcare & insurance costs, &, advertizing costs (just to name a few) are all out of wack. washington is telling the automakers to tell its people to make consessions.
with all the problems in the housing & financial markets, getting credit has become even harder &, it's not likely to get easier anytime soon.
i am not an expert on what the auto industry needs to do to become more competitive & show a healthy profit but, i am smart enough to know they can't turn it around with just 14 billion dollars. they'll be back in january asking for more. washington opened this revolving door & i don't blame any company for walking through it. for that matter, the airlines industry is next in line but, that's another story.
it's going to take a long time to get the industry to where they should be & 14 billion dollars just isn't enough. it would not surprise me if one or more file for bankruptcy which is the american way & what they should have done. the industry knew they were having problems long before this bill was even dreamed of & yet, they sat back, kept running like nothing was wrong & now, here they are with their hands out & sorry assed washington helps them.
washington could have at least put in motion a plan for the ceos of these failing companies to repay whatever outrageous bonuses they received. the ceos screwed these companies & should be held accountable in a court of law. the hearings in washington are a joke &, are not as productive as we're led to beleive.
i realize that if the auto industry collaspes there will be wide-spread unemployment & more problems for our economy---i don't want to see anybody lose their job & on the other hand, i don't want to be the one paying through my butt for them to keep it. i beleive that if the auto industry filed for bankruptcy (as did k-mart) they could recover (as did k-mart).
washington is so spend happy which is okay providing they spend the money on worthwhile projects such as healthcare or education. giving 14 billion dollars to the auto industry is just 14 billion dollars we will have to replace.-12/11/08-9:47pm est

OBAMA DID NOT INHERIT THIS MESS
hello america! i am so tired of obama & the democrats telling us that they inherited this financial mess. it's a sorry-assed cop-out. so, i'm here to set the record straight.
the democrats, to include obama, took control of the house & senate in 2006. so, they have been in control for 2 plus years &, didn't do crap to try & avert the mess we're now in. 2 plus years , america &, they say they inherited it.
so, i ask you, what did obama do in the 2 plus years he was a senator in washington? what did he do to try & get a fix on the this financial mess? name the bills he introduced or tried to introduce for tighter regulatory measures on fannie & freddie. for that matter, name me the democrats that introduced or tried to introduce any bills for stronger regulatory measures. can't name any because they did nothing. how quickly they want you to forget that their approval rating was lower then the presidents. & they thanked you for voting them into power by not doing a single thing for you.
how they (the dems) can even open their mouths & pass the blame to others is amazing. &, they are not alone because there are plenty of repubs that did nothing also. but, i'm talking about those dems that say they inherited this mess. it's a lie no matter how you look at it.
history will prove that obama had a direct hand in adding to this mess. anybody care to refute this? come on, take a shot. i can prove what i say.
you have bill clinton signing a little piece of paper back in the early 90's (91) that allowed obama & others to sue lenders to force them to make loans to the less-then-credit-worthy.
you have certain dems that fought against stronger regulatroy measures for the longest---they, & others, fought bush on every time he called for stronger measures. by name they are, chris dodd, barney franks & harry reid & their names come up whenever there was a need to stop stronger measures.
so america, how can they say they inherited it? obama used cra to sue citigroup in 93 to force them to make loans to people that could not afford to repay them. &, he did nothing as a senator in washington to help the american people. can you name anything he did? anything for the good of this country?-----your silence is a hell of an answer>

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.
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, 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! 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.
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.

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.
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.

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!
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.

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.

SMALL BUSINESSES ARE ALREADY SCREWED
hello america! ALERT! obamas finally going to rescue small businesses &, he will formally make that announcement today. but, before you break out the bubbly, read on.
first, obamas only reacting to pressure from the republicans & bloggers for his not helping small businesses from the beginning...something the mainstream media doesn't talk about because it paints a negative picture of obama &, they want to remain on his good side.
second, before obama utters one word today, the damage to & for small businesses is already done &, regardless of what he says, he's going to stick by what's done & what's about to be done.
my reasoning is as follows::::::::
1.....obamas signing an executive order in favor of unionized labor hurts non-unionized small
businesses
2.....obamas support for the "employee free choice act" hurts small businesses that have a
majority of employees that want to unionize
3.....obamas support for either the "carbon tax" or the "cap & trade tax" hurts small businesses
4.....obamas raising the tax on businesses making over $250,000. per year hurts small
businesses
5.....obamas extending the unemployment compensation payments hurts small businesses
6.....obamas limiting the tax deductable amount given to charities hurts small businesses
7.....obamas raising the tax on those making $250,000. per year hurts small businesses
8.....obamas plans for "wind" energy hurts small businesses
9.....obamas plans for infrastructure jobs hurts small businesses
america, do you need more? the facts speak for themselves & you should research all 9 of the above items & see for yourselves how obama does not suport small businesses. but, let's keep it real. obama has signed two bills into law & neither of them had 'help' for small businesses in them. now he's going to take millions of dollars out of the 787 billion dollar bill to help small businesses? this is pure BS...it's to my understanding that all of that 787 billion dollars was allocated by law to go to specific agencies for our stimulus. how can millions just be laying around there for the president to use as he sees fit? there is something wrong here---very wrong. if obama can & does take millions from the stimulus bill that was not appropriated for small businesses, who gets screwed---that's like you getting a loan for your mortgage & using it to fix your car.
tranparency should equal truth but, when you're standing in an inch of water & can't see the bottom because of the mud, how tranparent is that water?

GREED
hello america! 'GREED'...an ominous word at best. we usually use it in the same sentence with money. today, i will use outside of it's normal box...
obama & many others called the ceo's greedy & say that that's what led to this economic mess---for the record, i strongly disagree with that thinking---however, greed is what drives america & without it, we would be back in the stone age. &, before you get all upset, read the following...
you start a business to make a profit (& that's the bottom line) &, if you only make a little profit, you remain a little business---but, if you make a great deal of profit, you expand so you can make more. it's the american way. you can argue all you want with this thinking but, let's be real about it.
kfc, walmart, sears, home depot, your milk company, your egg company, your bank, your car dealer, your home builder, your airline company, just to name a few, all had one thing in common---THEY ALL STARTED SMALL. none of them started their business by opening hundreds of stores all at once. dominoes didn't start with hundreds of pizza shops & none of the rest of the others did either. they all started out with one store & it just kept getting better & bigger. &, i'm willing to bet that none of them had any idea that they would grow into what they are today. t-mobile, verizon, at&t, exon, kraft foods, ect; etc; etc. in fact, you name a business & i'll bet it didn't start out big. DON'T GET THIS CONFUSED WITH BUYOUTS & MERGERS.
another thing you don't hear about is how many of them had to struggle to get to where they are.
so, now that they are making millions of dollars of profit & can afford to eat dinner in parris & jet to la for a movie, we now call them greedy. are you stupid? really, are you? take your girl oprah. she didn't even know if her show would even be around six months after it first aired & look at her now. is she greedy? look at all the people she's employed & helped & don't forget her donantions to charities. but, she lives a lifestyle that many americans can't even afford to dream about.
there are all forms of greed. obama is very greedy but won't admit it & yet, his actions prove it. he wants to go down as the first president to have done so much within his first 100 days & he doesn't care who says what.
greed is those that lie about what they are doing in order to get more---those, that cook the books---those that decieve us & obama is right in the middle of this group.

IT'S CALLED THE FLIP-FLOP & I TOLD YOU ABOUT IT MONTHS AGO
hello america! we hear the term 'flip-flop' & we know it's applied to people that first support something & then, they don't support it. in this case, the word applies directly to obama &, i'll show you why.
you have to remember obama running around the country preaching his 'gloom & doom' crap about our economic situation. now he preaching about how strong it is & yet, nothing has changed...jobs are still being lost, loans are still not being issued, homes are still being foreclosed on. his sec of treasury is running around scared & continues to promise details of his bank bailout plan. the stock market has had a positive 4-day gain but it's still far from becoming secure. &, all the 'expert' economic forecasters predict times to become even worse---that is, we've not yet hit the bottom.
so, i ask, what gives obama? why the turn-around? is it just to appease china with the hopes they won't cash in their bonds? try telling the american people the truth---just one time.
you have to remember obama pumping up the bailout bill & the appropriations bill & now he's having misgivings about the amount of money in them & what it's going to. why now? this man cannot tell the truth---it would ruin his image.
america, it's hard to expect the truth to come out of the mouth of a man who's past is still shrouded in secrecy.

SMALL BUSINESSES ARE IN TROUBLE
hello america! there is a bill called the "EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT" that is floating around congress & if passed, will cause the death of many of our small businesses. please google it & see for yourselves.
in a nutshell, it will permit workers to unionize more easily & openly &, the employer will be forced to abide by national labor board collective bargining or shut down.
obama strongly supports unionized labor & he strongly supports this bill. the following is an excert from wikipedia.com:::::::
President Barack Obama supports the bill. An original co-sponsor of the Employee Free Choice Act, Obama urged his Senate colleagues to pass the bill during a 2007 motion to proceed:
I support this bill because in order to restore a sense of shared prosperity and security, we need to help working Americans exercise their right to organize under a fair and free process and bargain for their fair share of the wealth our country creates.
The current process for organizing a workplace denies too many workers the ability to do so. The Employee Free Choice Act offers to make binding an alternative process under which a majority of employees can sign up to join a union. Currently, employers can choose to accept--but are not bound by law to accept--the signed decision of a majority of workers. That choice should be left up to workers and workers alone.[17]
"I will make it the law of the land when I'm President of the United States", he told a labor federation meeting in April, 2008. While Obama didn't talk about this issue much before general audiences, it was his main promise when he spoke to unions.
obama even sent vp joe biden to the afl-cio's winter meeting in florida & the entire speech can be found on whitehouse.gov ::::read it for yourselves.
just think, a pizza shop could become unionized forcing the employer to the collective bargaining table for more money, more benifits, better conditions, & a guaranteed 40 hours a week. hope you can afford it.
small businesses, watch out. no matter what obama promises you, judge him by his actions &, by now, you have to know that his actions for you ain't been good. &, if you still don't believe me, google obamas executive orders concerning federal funded work.
in a nutshell, it will permit workers to unionize more easily & openly &, the employer will be forced to abide by national labor board collective bargining or shut down.
obama strongly supports unionized labor & he strongly supports this bill. the following is an excert from wikipedia.com:::::::
President Barack Obama supports the bill. An original co-sponsor of the Employee Free Choice Act, Obama urged his Senate colleagues to pass the bill during a 2007 motion to proceed:
I support this bill because in order to restore a sense of shared prosperity and security, we need to help working Americans exercise their right to organize under a fair and free process and bargain for their fair share of the wealth our country creates.
The current process for organizing a workplace denies too many workers the ability to do so. The Employee Free Choice Act offers to make binding an alternative process under which a majority of employees can sign up to join a union. Currently, employers can choose to accept--but are not bound by law to accept--the signed decision of a majority of workers. That choice should be left up to workers and workers alone.[17]

CAN HE LOOK DIRECTLY AT US?
hello america! just watched a live press conference with obama &, again, i have to say i don't & won't trust anybody that can so eloquently speak & not look me in the eye. all of his words are read from his teleprompters. if you watch him, his head goes from left-to-right &, from right-to-left &, he never looks straight ahead. it's as if the only way he can communicate with america is through prepared text.
anyway, the crap out of his mouth is just that---crap. he's not telling you that a lot of banks are returning the bailout money &, that a lot of banks are investing their money overseas. they are not investing in america. also, he hasn't told you that for his wind & solar plans to become effective, we will have to invest & rely heavily on 'up-&-running' companies &, guess what folks? 85% to 90% of them are overseas. as far as the manufacturing goes, we're way behind the overseas eightball but, the installation process should be all american.
i don't think anyone in this great nation doubts we will recover from the mess we're in. some of it will have to be attributed to obama (can't get around that)---so, it's just a matter of time.

OBAMA, YOU DIDN'T INHERIT THIS MESS, YOU WERE PART OF IT
hello america! before i get to what i really want to talk about, allow me to say the following: timothy geithner is not the man that obama portrayed him to be. he is weak-voiced (almost sissyfied), very unbelieving &, even though he says he has a plan, he never reveals any details. &, he lacks the ability to inspire confidence. &, on top of all that, obama overlooked his tax transgressions to appoint him to a position he seems uncapable of running.
thank you.
obama is about to find out first-hand what being george bush is all about. he has to deal with the economy & all that goes with it plus the 2 wars. then he has to deal with china, russia, north korea &, iran. he has to deal with terrorists that still want to do us harm. that should be enough but, he will have to deal with sending troops to or/in mexico to deal with the cartels. &, just when you think he has enough on his plate, hurricane season is standing on the doorstep.
do i want him to fail? no but, i hope some of his policies for this country fail.
thank you.

MONEY WON'T PRODUCE QUALITY EDUCATION
hello america! i've said this numerous times before & i have to say it again...in order to fix the education problem, you have to fix the surrounding school area &, the atmosphere within the school.
building a new school or fixing an old one up looks good on paper. pouring money into the schools looks good. paying teachers more money looks good. but that's all it does:::looks good. it doesn't even begin to address the main problem. in fact, it's like putting a fresh coat of paint on rotted wood-it may look good & even smell good but, you still have the problem of the rotted wood.
obama is not in touch with reality if he thinks that spending money on our school systems will improve the quality of education. what's so sad about this is, he was a community organizer & should know first-hand what many of the students have to go through just to get to school. he was an elected official for illinios & he has to know about the problems facing the students in the cabrini-green projects &, co-op city in the bronx, ny &, all the other areas affected with drugs, gangs &, violence.
drugs, gangs &, violence is not limited to the school area, it exists within our schools. i live in allentown, pa &, we have police stationed within allen high school---that's how bad it is. too many schools have police stationed within them or they've hired their own security companies to patrol the hallways & grounds.
the other problem is parent involvement. todays parents are forced to work & can't get as involved as they would like. i've actually heard parents say things like they worked all day, have to get the baby from the baby-sitter, go home & make dinner &, they just don't have the time. i'm sure you know of somebody that's gone through this. parent involvement is critical to improving the quality of education.
obama, if you really want to improve the quality of education in this country, you should start by fixing the problems that i've listed above. when you do that, the teachers will be able to have a lot less to worry about & can regain their pride in teaching.

WHAT DID THE DEMS DO FOR US IN THE LAST 8 YEARS?
hello america! somebody help me out on this. the 410 billion dollar bill is only going to cover us until october? &, it doesn't provide for the veterans, the armed forces or defense? &, in october, or very shortly thereafter, they have to come up with another bill for the next fiscal year?
then i'm hearing this crap about this being last years business but bush wouldn't have signed it so, the democrats are trying to rush it through now. well, we already know that obama will sign it, if it passes the senate. &, the dems & repubs are debating the spending in it &, if that spending should be done at this time.
i know we've all been hearing how the bush era was so pathetic but, i have a few questions no one wants to answer. if the dems, who seem to think they can spend their way out of this mess, were so blameless during the bush era, can anybody please tell me what they did or didn't do for the greater good of this country?
the dems & a lot of the repubs lay the blame for this economic mess on bush &, i've put up proof on this blogsite as to why bush is not the blame. so, tell me, what did the dems do in their eight years under bush? i'm listening. the dems were in the minority the first 6 years of the bush era & finally gained the majority in his last 2---&, i'm still waiting for you to tell me what they did for us.
say what you will of bush but, if he had not of been there, we would be a lot deeper in debt then we presently are.

OBAMA, PLEASE KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT
hello america! finally, some good news & our government had nothing to do with it although i'm sure obama will take credit for it. apparently, citigroup/bank made a profit, posted it, &, the stock market is reacting favorably to it with a plus 273.75 as of 11:33am/est & climbing.
if we would keep the government out of this mess, it would sort itself out that much faster. but, somewhere, one of our elected officials is going to open their mouth & say something stupid & the market will fall again.
obama, take notes & let the private sector take care of itself because you & your admin don't know how.

OBAMA, CAN YOU REALLY BE THAT BLIND?
hello america! common sense says:::
that if the banks aren't lending, you find a way to enable them to lend & obama, your plans don't help them.
if homes are being foreclosed on, you find a way to stop the foreclosures & obama, your plans don't help them.
if the auto industry can't sell their products, you let them file bankruptcy & start all over & obama, your plans don't help them.
if companies are laying off employees by the hundreds, you find a way to allow those companies to retain those workers & obama, your plans don't help them.
if the public sector isn't spending money, you find a way to stimulate them to do so & obama, your plans don't help them.
obama, you talk a great game but, actions will always speak louder then words &, your actions up to this point are at best, a little sigh. man up & do the right thing for this great nation...

AMERICA, CALL IT LIKE IT IS
hello america! i don't need a year to judge what obama has or hasn't done for my country. he's been on tv & running all over the country spewing his rhetoric---&, the bottom line is, nothing has been done. there's been a lot of posturing & pointing the finger but, obama has not solved one single problem nor has he put into place anything to stop the bleeding in the future. & yet, there are those obama supporters that think everything he touches turns to gold.
well, i'm here to bust their bubble & this is why:::::
1.....jobs are still being lost
2.....banks still aren't lending
3.....homes are still being foreclosed on
4.....bailouts are still being doled out without positive results
5.....the stock market continues to tank
6.....congress is still divided with those that really care & those that want to spend your money
7.....banks are still being closed from failure
8.....jobs have not been created
9.....'earmarks/pork projects' still abound in the bills sent to obama
10...obama continues to lie to us
11...cobra is a joke
12...transparency is not transparent
13...high ethical & morale standards are not non-existent in the obama administration
14...the agencies in washington that don't work are still there
15...government has been expanded
16...small businesses are still hurting with no help in sight
17...middle-class america will have to foot the bill
18...all the various charities that we need are really hurting
19...obama will create more jobs overseas then here in the states
20..12 million plus illegal aliens to become citizens (to protect obamas aunt)
21...this great nation continues to have a serious homeless problem
22...obama still does not reach across the isle-i've said it before. he needs to sit down with the
majority & minority leaders of both the house & senate (with cameras present) & tell them
what he needs; what he wants; what he doesn't want; what he doesn't need; what he
expects &, that both parties must work togeher.
if you want more reasons, i can list them for you but, i thought 21 would get you to thinking. however, i do want you to think of the following::::::
1.....why should you have to pay for overseas abortions?
2.....if you live in new york, should you have to pay for a high speed rail service from las vegas to
los angelos?
3.....if you live in one state, should you have to pay for another state to clean up pig smells?
4.....should you have to pay another state money because they mismanaged their money by
building a ballfield or stadium?
5.....should you have to pay for joe bidens trip to the afl-cio bash & then they won't even tell
you why?
america, i could go on & on &, you know it. if obama were as serious as he wants you to think he is, he could have done something to stop the bleeding immediately. instead, he wants to sneakily raise the federal tax on cigarettes by .62 (cents) per pack. i can afford it but, when you think of all those that can't & bought 'rollies' &, you see what all he's charging them, you'll know this man is not for us. & all this crap from a man that won't leave home without his tele-prompters. my people, if nothing else gets to you, that should.
how can i trust the president of my great country if he doesn't even trust himself speaking to me without his words being written down where he can see them. &, another thing is, because of his tele-prompters, he can't look you in the eye.

AMERICA, I'M HAPPY TODAY
hello america! happy sunday to you! it's about 55* here & raining. i've got my windows wide open & am enjoying the breeze. i am drinking a molson ice &, if i don't spill any on the keyboard, i'll get around to writing about what's on my mind.
most of my friends are obamaholics & last night during a spades game, there was a very heated debate about what all he has accomplished. well, you know me, i was agreeing with them on one hand & beating the crap out of them on the other.
as strange as this may sound, (none of them wanted to pay for foreign abortions, they didn't want to support those living beyond their means, they didn't want to continue to pay for the bailouts to the industries & markets, they are very skepticle about closing gitmo, they all are pissed about obama sneaking a tax increase on their cigarettes, they can't understand how the wealthy & businesses are going to be the only ones to pay for obamas healthcare package) they sounded like me. i don't think i made them feel any better when i told them they should have voted for anybody other then obama. homegirl turned on her puter & i directed them to look up different things in support of both sides of the debate...it was more then fair & balanced & i feel really good that i could help open their eyes.....there was so much they didn't know.
they promised to get in contact with our elected officials & give them a piece of their mond---out of the 11 of us, i know of 5 that will really follow through with that.
now, if only i could open the eyes of the rest of america as easily.

OBAMA, NO CREDIT FOR THE 25
hello america! obama wants to prove that his stimulus bill is working &, the best he can come up with is 25 cadets hired in columbus ohio? true, the stimulus money may have been needed for the city to hire them but, there's a lot more here that's not being said &, i'm here to say it.
first, what did the city not do that led to them not being hired in the first place? then you have, what did the city do that led to their have to being hired with federal funds? &, i am trying to get the answers as best i can but, some officials don't like to answer questions when being put on the spot.
we all know that the cities spend our money as they see fit. they try to::: bring in businesses at our expense; build ballparks at our expense; buy property at our expense &, a host of other things at our expense...like a face lift on the courthouse, etc.....
all of our cities have budgets & very few live within them. so, you cannot convince me that these 25 could not have been hired without the stimulus. we both know that somewhere in this cities system they could have cut some un-needed services or raised the money through taxes to hire those 25. in truth, i believe the stimulus was a bonus to the city &, in a year the money for those 25 runs out &, then the mayor opens his mouth:::::
he said the city will be able to retain those 25 after the stimulus money runs out. that tells me that he knows what must be done to retain them. &, if one is to believe him, then he knew what should have been done to hire them without the use of the stimulus money in the first place.
as much as my city, allentown pa, may need 25 additional cops, i hope they don't use stimulus money to hire them. the city has spent a fortune on crap we didn't & don't need &, i can't wait to cast my vote against them. we had over-head weather protection on hamilton street that they took down. they re-did several parks. they re-did the front of the courthouse. some of the city projects we could have done without which would have freed the money up for those things the city actually needs. oh, did i tell you they also helped build coca-cola park?

OBAMA, YOU'RE WRONG AGAIN
hello america! this is for all of you that do back-flips every time obama farts.
when obama announced his "spreading the wealth" crap last october, you guys were so happy that the rich were going to pay your way. i told you then & i'm telling you now---it ain"t gonna happen...not in this lifetime or the next. &, this is why...
...would you bust your butt to get ahead & when you get there, allow somebody to take a bigger share away from you just because you were successfull? i know i wouldn't. & on top of taking a bigger share from you, they take even less from those that get your share?
now, we can stop with all that democrat/republican crap----this is socialism no matter what party your with---&, it ain't america.
what obama is about to cause can best be understood by the following: please go to...............
DigitalJournal.com Opinion: Miami Dolphins Owner Wants To Sell Team Before Obama Tax Hike
By Johnny Simpson.
Published Oct 27, 2008 by ■ Johnny Simpson
this isn't the only site that carried this story but, the pro-obama biased media downplayed it & gave it very little coverage &, the sad part of this is, it's going to happen more & more. the wealthy are going to sell their company, fold up their company or, move their company out of the states.
athletes & entertainers are going to take a direct hit on this. look at all the charites they support. when you start taking more from them, they will support them less. they do commercials about hunger & the poverty-stricken; they feed families throughout the year; they help build sports parks; they host functions to raise money for others in need. &, they do it because they want to. what do you think will happen when you force them to do it?
by now, most of america has heard of the jimmy v foundation named after jimmy v who coined the phrase "don't ever give up-don't ever give up" while battling a disease that took his life---thus, the foundation. when you start taking from the supporters of this, it's going to fall &, the cancer research the money presently helps will be lost.
another case in point::::when i was in the service (1974-1984), we didn't have a choice in which 'charity' we helped. we got in the pay line, got our pay & then had to stop at all the stations to 'donate' our money to the various charities the army lined up---it wasn't a choice thing & i resented it but, back then, i was compelled to do it. besides, i couldn't beat the 1st sgt or sgt major who patroled the lines. always thought that system was wrong because the only charity i wanted to give money to was, cancer research---my mom died from cancer of the bone. if that had of been a regular 9 to 5 job, i would have quit. don't force me to pay for what you want paid for::::allow me the respect of chosing who gets my money.
so, to obama i say, you went to harvard & i don't know what all they teach there but, if your "spreading the wealth" is one of the subjects------you should have gone to another school in another land because it is not american!
when obama announced his "spreading the wealth" crap last october, you guys were so happy that the rich were going to pay your way. i told you then & i'm telling you now---it ain"t gonna happen...not in this lifetime or the next. &, this is why...
...would you bust your butt to get ahead & when you get there, allow somebody to take a bigger share away from you just because you were successfull? i know i wouldn't. & on top of taking a bigger share from you, they take even less from those that get your share?
now, we can stop with all that democrat/republican crap----this is socialism no matter what party your with---&, it ain't america.
what obama is about to cause can best be understood by the following: please go to...............
DigitalJournal.com Opinion: Miami Dolphins Owner Wants To Sell Team Before Obama Tax Hike
By Johnny Simpson.
Published Oct 27, 2008 by ■ Johnny Simpson
this isn't the only site that carried this story but, the pro-obama biased media downplayed it & gave it very little coverage &, the sad part of this is, it's going to happen more & more. the wealthy are going to sell their company, fold up their company or, move their company out of the states.
athletes & entertainers are going to take a direct hit on this. look at all the charites they support. when you start taking more from them, they will support them less. they do commercials about hunger & the poverty-stricken; they feed families throughout the year; they help build sports parks; they host functions to raise money for others in need. &, they do it because they want to. what do you think will happen when you force them to do it?
by now, most of america has heard of the jimmy v foundation named after jimmy v who coined the phrase "don't ever give up-don't ever give up" while battling a disease that took his life---thus, the foundation. when you start taking from the supporters of this, it's going to fall &, the cancer research the money presently helps will be lost.
another case in point::::when i was in the service (1974-1984), we didn't have a choice in which 'charity' we helped. we got in the pay line, got our pay & then had to stop at all the stations to 'donate' our money to the various charities the army lined up---it wasn't a choice thing & i resented it but, back then, i was compelled to do it. besides, i couldn't beat the 1st sgt or sgt major who patroled the lines. always thought that system was wrong because the only charity i wanted to give money to was, cancer research---my mom died from cancer of the bone. if that had of been a regular 9 to 5 job, i would have quit. don't force me to pay for what you want paid for::::allow me the respect of chosing who gets my money.
so, to obama i say, you went to harvard & i don't know what all they teach there but, if your "spreading the wealth" is one of the subjects------you should have gone to another school in another land because it is not american!

OBAMA SHOULD WATCH THE STOCK MARKETS EVERY DAY
hello america! every action causes a reaction. you should learned this in your early childhood. &, in some instances, no action causes reaction. then, you have too much action causing no reaction. today, all three of them apply to our economic problems, our government &, the american people. let me do it this way:::::::::
obamas spreading his gloom & doom tactics-----stock markets tank
congress passes 757 billion dollars bill-----stockmarket tanks
obama signs bill into law-----stockmarket tanks
obama expands the federal government-----stock markets tank
obama lays out his 410 billion dollar budget plan-----stock markets tank
geithner holds shaky press conference-----stock markets tank
whitehouse says no to nationalizing banks, etc-----stock markets soar
whitehouse says yes to owning about 80% of aig-----stock markets tanks
whitehouse says yes to owning about 38% of citigroup/bank-----stock markets tank
china expected to come up with 58 billion dollars-----stock markets rises
china doesn't come up with 58 billion dollars-----stock markets tank
obama reveals plan to bailout homeowners-----stock markets tank
gm announces bankruptcy near-----stock markets tank
obama says buy stock-----stock markets rise
geithner can't get anybody to be his number 2-----stock markets tank
job-less figures come out-----stock markets tank
housing market figures come out-----stock markets tank
by now you should have gotten the point. no matter how you may look at this, our economy is wrapped around the stock markets &, regardless of the reasons, they do not respond favorably to obama & his spending &, IT IS NOT ALL HIS FAULT.
we've been bailing out aig since sept of 08 & they are now in worse shape. we've been bailing out gm & they are in worse shape. we've been bailing out citigroup/bank & they are in worse shape. & there are countless others that have recieved federal dollars that are about to fold up. we've been helping am-track for some time & they still can't turn a profit & yet, we continue to give them our money. WHY? in the case of aig, they can't even sell off the 'good' parts of their business &, come this september, they may not be there any longer---same for gm & citigroup.
obama preached about weeding out the programs that don't work. the bailouts before obamas time are not his fault but, he damn sure knows they didn't work. he damn sure knows his bailouts aren't working either. at what point does this 'man for the people' say he's done all he can for them &, continuing to bail them out is now over? doesn't he care that we've bailed out others & they are now gone?
as long as we have federal dollars being spent on these bailouts, the stock markets will not surge upwards but, the day we stop the bailouts---& yes, it's sad that a lot of american lives will be negatively affected but america will survive---the economy will start to turn around.
another thing affecting the stock markets is the tax increase on the wealthy & businesses. obama, they are the ones that buy 2, 3, 4000 shares at a time & now, they are just sitting on their money &, who can blame them when you hear all the bad news from the whitehouse? &, if that wasn't bad enough, they release a statement saying the fdic may be broke by the end of the year. so, what do they do, they raise the fees they charge banks & assess an emergency fee on them. the banks will pay it by raising your cost of doing business with them.
for all of you that voted for librilism---i can only say the rest of us don't deserve this.
