hello america! if you've been following the news, you know there is a lot happening & to just focus on headlines or, just one issue, is almost impossible because they are all inter-related. so...
nancy pelosi must think we are stupid. she proposes changing the name of gov't/public option to consumer option. she said we would be more willing to accept the same package with a different name---google it & there's a video of it...HMMM!
olympia snow was used to get the healthcare reform bill out of the senate finance committee &, now that harry reid has put the 'public option' back in, she will not support the bill. at what point did she realize the dems wouldn't keep their word? in fact, reid said she was the least of his problems---google it.
joe lieberman will not support the present bill with the public option in it. nor will he support it with it giving states the option to opt out---google it.
obama was in virginia trying to drum up support for the dem gov for next weeks election, who is about 10 points down in the polls. it was also said he is going back to new jersey to drum up support for the dem gov there. my problem with this is, he's going to try to drum up that supprot from the black community. i can only hope that they realize he's done nothing for them in 8 months & there's no plan to do anything in the future.
then you have the dems split on the healthcare bill &, that is where the problem lays. so, i guess those dems that oppose the present healthcare bill are also "un-americans" & "radicals".
HMMM!!!

OBAMA, RETURN THE MONEY FIRST...
hello america! perhaps i didn't write this dark enough:::obama & congress, before you ask wall street to repay their bonuses or cap their bonuses, why don't you return all the money they put in your 'war chests' for your campaigns?
i've said it before & you must have missed my point. if you received money from any of the businesses that received bailout funds, return it & then go after them.
our elected officials are quick to point out which businesses received bailouts but, they are extremely quiet about how much their election campaigns received from those very same businesses. HMMM, i wonder why that is!
obama, you told america you were going to have an open & honest administration & yet, you openly & honestly won't return the money you received but, you want to go after the bonuses & cap the future ones...things that make you go HMMM!

OBAMA, LEAVE IT ALONE
hello america! obama wants to repeal the "don't ask-don't tell" rule which would allow those of the 'same-sex' persuasion to serve this nation openly & proudly.
before i tear this apart let me say this. i support those that seek same sex relationships openly. it's not GOD'S way or my way but, here in america, it's their way & right.
however, assuming that this rule is repealed, can you imagine what all this encompasses? as americans they would be entitled to their own set of rights that now govern the males & females. they would need their own sleeping quarters built, etc,etc. extra rules (similar to those that now govern the male/female soldier conduct) would have to be written into law. when off duty, they would have the right to dress as they wish-something they can't do now. can you imagine the 'gay' males dressed up like females in the EM, NCO & CO'S clubs? or the 'gay' females dressed up as males? can you imagine either gender acting out off duty army life as they really are?
now, i'm sure that there are some soldier's that either know or suspect that their counter-part isn't all man or woman &, because of the current rules, that's as far as it goes. they know when to use or not use the bathroom & shower. on the other hand, can you imagine those soldier's that didn't know or suspect & have used the bathrooms & showers with their counterparts that will now find out with the rule removed?
the repeal of this rule will certainly lead to a morale issue & would better be served left alone. you can't tell a 'gay man' he can serve "openly & proudly" & then restrict how 'he' can or cannot dress or act when off duty. another big problem would be in basic training...how far can you push a female mind in a male body or vice verse? --yeah, i saw G.I. Jane.
obama shot his mouth off during his election campaign to gather the 'gay' vote. now he's got a big problem because of it &, troop morale will suffer if he's successful in repealing this rule.
can you imagine if general mccrystal & general petraeus were 'gay'? in uniform they look sharp but, envision them off duty dressed in 'drag. i wonder what obamas reaction would be when they asked for more troops. can you imagine a 'gay' general colin powell reporting to pres bush & then getting off duty to dress up as a female?
as much as i am for the 'same sex persuasion' to have equal rights & protection, i am strongly against the repeal of this rule.
if i offended anyone with my choice of words such as 'gay', ect, i strongly apologize not knowing what the correct wording is.

CONCERN, NO---PANIC, YES!
hello america! some of you tell me that i havn't given obama enough time...others say i'm being too hard on him...& then, there are those that say i'm too judgemental. apparently, none of you have tried to get the H1N1 flu shot or spray. you damn sure are not one of the approximately 100 families that have lost a child to the H1N1 virus.
no! i am not blaming obama for the virus. however, i, & many others, am finding fault with his handling of it. &, the following is why..........
on 4/30/09, obama said there was cause for concern but not panic...how many american death's does it take to crossover from 'concern' to 'panic'? here it is almost 5 months after obama gave this speech & doctors, clinics & hospitals not only don't have the shots or spray, they don't even know when they're going to get it. i go to the allentown, pa veterans administration clinic & they didn't even know when the shots/sprays were coming in.
i find the above extremely upsetting, &, even more so when i continue to hear obama blame pres bush for all of our problems. couple that with the fact that we were pre-warned about this virus.
when will obama stand up & tell us he made a mistake? when will he he 'man up' & say he was wrong? when will he utter those words that i, for one, want him so desperately to say---i'm sorry? after all, he's the one that put the 'best people' in charge of this &, it's happening on his watch...(he'll find a way to tell you that he inherited this mess).
click on the link below & you can either watch the video or read what he said. please bear in mind that american death's have occurred since this speech & we will probably lose some more. i want to know why...we can blow up 'dirt' on the moon yet, we can't get the shots or sprays out the door.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/09/04/30/The-Presidents-Remarks-on-H1N1/
if what obama says is true---that he's on the phone daily with homeland sec, napolitano, health & human services sec, sebelius & the acting cdc director concerning the virus, what's the problem? judging the 5 months on non-action i can only assume they must be talking about snl skits & teleprompters.
america, it really is extremely troubling to know that the democrats want to control our healthcare when they set examples of their prowess like getting the virus vaccination to us in time, the bailout programs & the 'cash-for-clunkers' programs.

SOCIAL SECURITY---BROKE PT 2
hello america! i said yesterday that i would continue with the social security issue & here it is.
let's face it, the future looks gloom for those retiring in about 3 or 4 years. washington has known about social security going broke for years but, as of yet, has not done anything about it. on the other hand, there's only so much they can do.
personally, i think the figures i quoted yesterday are off. not knowing exactly where & how the government got those figures, i can only speculate that the next set of figures will be even worse & this is why...
our social security is paid for by our taxes & employer taxes & with all the recent job layoffs & future job layoffs, less money will be put into the system which means, less will be paid out in the future. &, if washington waits until the last minute to address this problem, they'll simply borrow the money (they're extremely good at that).
well, let's see. if they raise the retirement age to 70, they must include themselves in it. if they raise the tax percentage taken out of our checks, they must include themselves in it. if they opt to have some of our money invested in stocks, they must include themselves in it. &, lastly, they could just ignore it & revamp the whole thing.
presently, with all that's going on this once proud nation, this is just one more thing for washington to add to its lists of 'screw-ups'.
before i close, the dems are going to blame pres bush for the current social security problems & he does share some of the blame but, obama is going to tell us how he 'inherited' this mess. america, i could accept that if they would 'man up' & remind us that they have been in control of the house & the senate for the last 3 plus years & that we should "judge" them by what they tell us & not what they do or don't do for us.

SOCIAL SECURITY---BROKE!
hello america! i recently contacted social security to get my own personal statement. well, i got it...dated september 21, 2009. i wish to share some of it with you....
"In 2016 we will begin paying more in benefits than we collect in taxes. Without changes, by 2037 the Social Security Trust Fund will be exhausted* and there will be enough money to pay about 76 cents for each dollar of scheduled benefits. We need to resolve these issues soon to make sure Social Security continues to provide a foundation of protection for future generations."
it is signed by: Michael J. Astrue, Commissioner
* These estimates are based on the intermediate assumptions from the Social Security Trustees' Annual Report to the Congress.
i will turn 61 this january & will file for early retirement 10/2010 (GOD willing). at this time, i am willing to take the lesser amount instead of waiting until i reach 65-66 because i am not sure what obama will do about it. for that matter, there's been very little talk about washington doing anything about it. i do know they were flirting with the idea of moving the retirement age to 70.
one would think that this issue would deserve immediate attention but, what do i know? after seeing: 1. what the dems & obama wanted to do to the elderly with the 1st healthcare bill; 2. what they want to do to the elderly with the present healthcare bill that will cut programs the elderly need; 3. they will not give the seniors a cola (cost-of-living-adjustment) for 2010; that none of them have addressed the problems with nursing homes & senior living care i can only come up with following conclusion::::obama & the dems don't care about the elderly. they are quick to call us "un-american" for speaking up at the healthcare rallies.
why can't they accept the fact that we have a vested interest in our future & the future of this once great nation that is quickly going to hell?
i am going to write more on this subject in my very next blog...

WHAT DID OBAMA DO???
hello america! i've probably talked to about 20 people since obama was given the nobel peace prize & surprisingly, only about 3 of them said he deserved it. YOU KNOW DAMN WELL I WAS NOT WAS ONE OF THEM. so, to be fair, i'm taking a good, hard look at what obama has done to be deemed worthy of such a prize.
be patient, i'm still looking but, this is going to take a long while. okay, let me put it this way: it's extremely hard to find something when it's not there to be found. what has obama done (i said done-not propose) that has led to peace? let's go through the list::::::::
#1... um, i'm thinking---let's skip this one & go to the next one
#2... he did uh; um; let's see; hmm; let me try the next one
#3... he said---sorry, can't use said---has to be what he's done. please feel free to chime in here at any time & give me a hint because i must be filled with 'stinkin thinkin' & i'm 'thinkin' he hasn't done one 'stinkin' thing...please, defend him & prove me an idiot & a hater.
i need you obama supporters to stand up & make the case for obama getting the peace prize simply based on what all he has said because he hasn't done squat. please open your mouths wide & be prepared to taste your own shoe leather.
WARNING!!! the following is where common sense meets blind loyalty & is not intended for those that know that 2 plus 2 equals 4.
obama has talked a lot about peace but, he's done nothing to achieve it. america, after you read the following, please let me know if obama has brought about peace anywhere...
he 'deep sixed' the plans for a defense missile system in poland to install his own system--- surely, this means peace is at the doorstep---wrong! he bowed to the pressure from russia who, if you care to remember, recently invaded the area & is now building its own barracks there &, they are also reclaiming some of the land.
he did get isreal & palestine to meet at the whitehouse---this must be the one---wrong! they're still fighting over there.
he tells the world powers that be that "words must mean more then words"---ahh, this is peace at its best---wrong!---iran launched a long range missile & several others since. plus their leader has vowed to continue their nuclear program.
he's threatened north korea---here it is---wrong!---north korea has thretened to respond to any aggression & is working on its own nuclear program.
he's vowed to get our troops out of iraq---bingo---wrong! it seems the violence there is beginning to increase again.
he's undecided on what to do about afghanistan---a non-action must equal peace---wrong! the violence has increased in this country as well.
he's not saying anything about the fighting & killings in africa, china & other parts of the world---silence must equal peace---wrong!
i know it's safe to say that obama has done nothing that has lead to peace outside of our borders so, let me take a look at the peace he must have brought about within them. wait a minute, this is the very subject that obama avoids. he does not speak about the violence within our borders---i guess we're at peace here---wrong! gangs, thugs, & drugs have implanted themselves into our present culture in a very violent manner. but, obama did send his attorney general to chicago to meet with a principal---it's kinda late because chicago (this year) has already lost 30 plus school children alone to violence.
if it wasn't for various agencies within our borders, our home grown terrorists were going to stage another 9/11 for us to remember them by & obama had nothing to do with that...thank pres bush for getting that program in place.
obama has done nothing that has led to peace. PERIOD. they should have given him an award for talking---not doing.

FROM A TO Z
hello america! it doesn't matter how much i want to ignore politics, i continue to be drawn into the fray. so, with that being said, allow me to continue in my own way...
it seems that wolf blitzer (cnn) & chris mathews (msnbc) are not as pro-obama as they once were. it took a longer time then needed for them to get around to report the news the way it actually is & not the way they want to slant it. i can only hope that they continue to report the facts & let the american people decide for themselves.
the following are several areas i wish they would become more involved in (in their reporting)..........
A.....who really stood to profit if the olympics had of ended up in chicago because of obamas intervention? & please, don't run that crap about the city reaping the benifits...if glen beck (foxnews) can unravel it, they can also--if they choose to;
B.....how can obama campaign on 'an open & honest government' & then have nothing to say about charles rangel? why is he allowing this 'so-called' investigation to drag on so quietly & slowly? why hasn't he ordered his hand-picked ag to do an investigation? &, on the other side of that, he opened the can of worms about pres bush's cia opps & gitmo.
C.....is it true that the doctors that posed with obama this week were given smocks by the wh & that they weren't allowed to interact with obama?
D.....why are banks still failing?
E.....how can any of the media be content with the unemployment numbers obamas puts out? there are several factors that he doesn't even want to talk about:::such as: those that didn't earn &/or work long enough to qualify for benifits; those that worked 'under-the-table'; those that have had their benifits expire; those that didn't file because of pride &/or having a nest-egg; those that are illegal aliens.
F.....can obama name all his czars, define their rolls & payscales?
G.....obama campaigned on getting rid of the federal programs that don't work. in the 8 months he's been there, what has he gotten rid of?
H.....we all heard obama say what a great bailout his 'cash-for-clunkers' program was but, exactly how badly did it hurt gm & chrysler? ford was in the top 5 surrounded by toyota.
I.....this one is directly connected to H...if obama was telling the truth about gm & chrysler, why does gm have to close 2,400 dealerships & chrysler has to close 300 plus?
J.....it's people like obamas aunt in mass. that are helping to hurt americans. why hasn't obama gotten her taken off of food stamps & kicked out of public housing? she has another hearing scheduled (jan 2010) & yet, she's been ordered out of the country several times prior to this. what is the delay in deporting her?
K.....obama campaigned on 'reaching across the isle'. why is he only inviting democrats to the wh to discuss the economy?
L.....in 8 months obama has not spoken about the plight of the 'inner city people'. it seems that he has avoided this subject deliberately &, i can't recall his doing any phote opps in those areas.
M.....obama can call a cops actions "stupid" right after he admitted not having all the facts &, he called jamie fox a "jackass" & yet, not one word about david letterman....hmmm---things that make you go HMMM.
N.....since obama said the people he nominated to his cabinet were the most qualified, how come he can't get them all together & write his own bills & then present them to congress?
O.....we all know obama had/has ties to acorn but, if one is to beleive in him, shouldn't he be more forceful in calling for a complete investigation of them or, is he afraid of what may come out?
P.....we also know obama is a 'union man' & he has gone out of his way to support them. his support for 'card-check' would help the unions & cripple middle-class america. has he any idea what damage unionizing walmart or target, etc, would do to america?
Q.....even i realize that we have to take better care of 'MOTHER EARTH' but even obama has to know that his 'cap & trade' bill will hurt america. 'taxing' company's will only results in higher costs for the consumers---that's us.
R.....obamas promise of transparency is now a joke. how come no one tries to hold him to it or question him about it?
S.....another obama promise no one speaks about is his promise not to hire lobbyists. how can the media not grill this guy on his broken promises?
T.....obamas healthcare bill is going to hurt seniors by cutting some of the services they now receive. if anything, we should be doing more for them. didn't obama say this wouldn't happen? also, how can you charge/tax/fine people that may not be able to afford healthcare costs? &, how can you say you won't provide healthcare for illegal aliens when you don't write anything into the bill that would require them to produce valid id? (didn't do it in the 'CHIPS' program either. as important as obama has made this issue, if you were to ask him right now if he would sign the bill immediately, i'll bet he'll tell you that he hasn't read it yet. that's how important it is....HMMM!!
U.....obama has been on tv & running around the world saying how great his stimulus bill was/is...how come nobody has asked him for specifics on what jobs were created & where. which teachers, fire & policemen were hired solely because of his bill. more importantly, if obamas bill is/was that great, how come congress is flirting with another 85 billion dollar stimulus bill? things that make you go....HMMM!!!...where are all the jobs this bill was supposed to create? i guess that obamas bill was so sucessful that corporations, hospitals, city halls are still down-sizing just for the fun of it. banks still aren't lending, people are still losing their homes & jobs are just not out here...
V.....nobody seems to talk about how much the bailed out industry's contributed to the democrats---thought i forgot about that? this why some recieved federal aid & others didn't.
W.....pennsylvania governor, ed rendel hosted the governors bash with obama in philly & pa, like every other state are having major problems despite recieving federal bailout funds---rendel still doesn't have a budget & it's long past due.
X.....not surprising is obama telling you that he wasn't going to sign all those pork-laden bills & then went & signed the federal budget bill (which was filled with pork-laden projects). hold him accountable.
Y.....one of obamas firsts acts after being sworn in was to use his executive privilege to lift the ban on american funds being used for overseas abortions & abortion education...guess we're doing better then we were told.
Z......i find the following incredible...our space program, nasa, is talking about laying off people. HMMM!! who would have thunk it?
america, i didn't mean to write all that---what's worse is, i could continue. there's gitmo, iraq, afghanistan, 'don't ask-don't tell'. however, i think you get my point.
our media needs to get to the bottom of all of the above issues...they have the outlet, the time, the money &, the resources. true, they may step on some toes but, wouldn't you rather have the truth intead of biased reporting????

it seems that wolf blitzer (cnn) & chris mathews (msnbc) are not as pro-obama as they once were. it took a longer time then needed for them to get around to report the news the way it actually is & not the way they want to slant it. i can only hope that they continue to report the facts & let the american people decide for themselves.
the following are several areas i wish they would become more involved in (in their reporting)..........
A.....who really stood to profit if the olympics had of ended up in chicago because of obamas intervention? & please, don't run that crap about the city reaping the benifits...if glen beck (foxnews) can unravel it, they can also--if they choose to;
B.....how can obama campaign on 'an open & honest government' & then have nothing to say about charles rangel? why is he allowing this 'so-called' investigation to drag on so quietly & slowly? why hasn't he ordered his hand-picked ag to do an investigation? &, on the other side of that, he opened the can of worms about pres bush's cia opps & gitmo.
C.....is it true that the doctors that posed with obama this week were given smocks by the wh & that they weren't allowed to interact with obama?
D.....why are banks still failing?
E.....how can any of the media be content with the unemployment numbers obamas puts out? there are several factors that he doesn't even want to talk about:::such as: those that didn't earn &/or work long enough to qualify for benifits; those that worked 'under-the-table'; those that have had their benifits expire; those that didn't file because of pride &/or having a nest-egg; those that are illegal aliens.
F.....can obama name all his czars, define their rolls & payscales?
G.....obama campaigned on getting rid of the federal programs that don't work. in the 8 months he's been there, what has he gotten rid of?
H.....we all heard obama say what a great bailout his 'cash-for-clunkers' program was but, exactly how badly did it hurt gm & chrysler? ford was in the top 5 surrounded by toyota.
I.....this one is directly connected to H...if obama was telling the truth about gm & chrysler, why does gm have to close 2,400 dealerships & chrysler has to close 300 plus?
J.....it's people like obamas aunt in mass. that are helping to hurt americans. why hasn't obama gotten her taken off of food stamps & kicked out of public housing? she has another hearing scheduled (jan 2010) & yet, she's been ordered out of the country several times prior to this. what is the delay in deporting her?
K.....obama campaigned on 'reaching across the isle'. why is he only inviting democrats to the wh to discuss the economy?
L.....in 8 months obama has not spoken about the plight of the 'inner city people'. it seems that he has avoided this subject deliberately &, i can't recall his doing any phote opps in those areas.
M.....obama can call a cops actions "stupid" right after he admitted not having all the facts &, he called jamie fox a "jackass" & yet, not one word about david letterman....hmmm---things that make you go HMMM.
N.....since obama said the people he nominated to his cabinet were the most qualified, how come he can't get them all together & write his own bills & then present them to congress?
O.....we all know obama had/has ties to acorn but, if one is to beleive in him, shouldn't he be more forceful in calling for a complete investigation of them or, is he afraid of what may come out?
P.....we also know obama is a 'union man' & he has gone out of his way to support them. his support for 'card-check' would help the unions & cripple middle-class america. has he any idea what damage unionizing walmart or target, etc, would do to america?
Q.....even i realize that we have to take better care of 'MOTHER EARTH' but even obama has to know that his 'cap & trade' bill will hurt america. 'taxing' company's will only results in higher costs for the consumers---that's us.
R.....obamas promise of transparency is now a joke. how come no one tries to hold him to it or question him about it?
S.....another obama promise no one speaks about is his promise not to hire lobbyists. how can the media not grill this guy on his broken promises?
T.....obamas healthcare bill is going to hurt seniors by cutting some of the services they now receive. if anything, we should be doing more for them. didn't obama say this wouldn't happen? also, how can you charge/tax/fine people that may not be able to afford healthcare costs? &, how can you say you won't provide healthcare for illegal aliens when you don't write anything into the bill that would require them to produce valid id? (didn't do it in the 'CHIPS' program either. as important as obama has made this issue, if you were to ask him right now if he would sign the bill immediately, i'll bet he'll tell you that he hasn't read it yet. that's how important it is....HMMM!!
U.....obama has been on tv & running around the world saying how great his stimulus bill was/is...how come nobody has asked him for specifics on what jobs were created & where. which teachers, fire & policemen were hired solely because of his bill. more importantly, if obamas bill is/was that great, how come congress is flirting with another 85 billion dollar stimulus bill? things that make you go....HMMM!!!...where are all the jobs this bill was supposed to create? i guess that obamas bill was so sucessful that corporations, hospitals, city halls are still down-sizing just for the fun of it. banks still aren't lending, people are still losing their homes & jobs are just not out here...
