hello america! it is with great pride that i pen the following::::FORD MOTOR COMPANY seems to be doing okay.
if you remember, they were part of the 'big three' that had requested bailout money but, didn't take a cent. &, this leads me to wonder what in the hell is my government doing?
ford didn't get any federal money, nor did they file for bankruptcy & seem to be headed in a positive direction.
meanwhile, gm & chrysler did receive federal money & seem extremely close to 'failure'.
there is something very wrong with this picture.
so, i say this to obama, keep your dirty little hands out of corporate america. everything you have touched is failing. &, while i'm at it, return the campaign money you got from the 'tarp' recipients.

RELEASE IT ALL
hello america! obamas plan is working---here i am (again), talking about 'torture' & not the economy.
obama has the 'power' to put this whole thing to bed. he's already released 4 memos---don't tease us---release them all. he didn't care about national security then-don't let him care now. let him release all of the memos. let america decide for themselves..just publish the facts per obamas 'transparency' crap without any spin to it, & we, as a people, can figure it out. put it on the web.
FOR THE RECORD, I DO NOT CONDONE WHOLESALE TORTURE BUT, if torture will save american lives, i'm all for it. we get so caught up in the right & wrongs of war but, those we are at war with don't play by our rules.
how can you apply our rules & laws to those that send women & children into markets to detonate bombs? how can you want to investigate those that use devious methods to stop them?
america, let's get this right. if some group were to snatch my sons or grandsons, i wouldn't care what methods were used on the offenders to bring my loved ones to safety. would you?
so america, contact obama & tell him to release all the documents & memos on torture, to include what info was gleamed from the tortures-------let us decide for ourselves. i know now that if the minutues from the 2002 meeting that pelosi was in, she would be ready to throw the towel in.

HE'S SLICK IN A BAD WAY
hello america! obama is very slick &, i don't mean in a good way. he's now saying 'let's move forward' after opening the door about the torture tactics used at gitmo. he got the ball rolling by releasing the memos & now wants to sit on the side lines as a good guy that doesn't want to get caught up in the politics of an investigation. & yet, he & biden said during their campaign speeches that they were going to go after pres george bush...you can 'google' it or go here...
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/sep/03/uselections2008.joebiden
so now, the media is all over the upcoming investigation by ag william holder, &, it should never have gotten this far. common sense says that if the tactics used saved just one american life &/or the lives of our allies, then it was worth it. drop all this public window-dressing, rewrite the torture policy behind very closed doors &, move on.
if obama was as honest as he would like to dupe you into thinking, he would order his ag to investigate why the government dropped the ball on our economy. but, this won't happen because it would cost the democrats their seats---they allowed this to happen on their watch of which obama was a part of---don't swallow that 'we inherited this mess' crap. how can you inherited something you've been a part of for the last 2 plus years?
this going after pres bush & his administration is pure democrat smoke-screen...it takes the obama spending off the front page; it covers the failed bailout attempts; &, more importantly, it hides what a democrat controled house & senate failed to do for this country since 2006. but, don't get me wrong...there are plenty of republicans that need to be nailed to the wall also.

WE DON'T NEED UNIONS
hello america! let's start with the 'TRUTH'. unions are only good for those companies & markets that can support them. that being said, i just need you to name successful unionized companies. okay, that's a hard one to answer so, i'll ask you an easy one...can you name a unionized company that's either failing or has failed? it's amazing how many roll off your tongue.
well, with obama & the democrats pushing for unionized labor, you'll have quite a few more companies to name. they are trying to make it so easy for unions to form within any & all businesses with just a simple, public 'yes or no' vote---no more debates/no more meetings. &, intentional or not, their plans will wreck this country faster then anything else &, the union leaders will help anyway they can because it means more money & power for them---the hell with the country.
unions cause companies to raise prices, which are passed on to us-the consumer. they also cause companies to fold up or relocate overseas. this is how it works:::::::::
1...certain companies are targeted by the union leaders;
2...debates & meetings (as it is now) determine which way the company goes based on secret ballot;
3...once the company is unionized, the members pay dues to the union for various services, ie; collective bargaining (which is a fancy way of saying higher wages), a voice in washington, etc.
4...companies are forced to raise their prices to afford paying the union members, thus, charging you more for their goods & services...which in turn put the union member & company in a higher tax bracket.
let me break it down like this...if you take target, walmart, jc penny, sears, & costco & unionize them, i don't think you'd be shopping them as much as you now do. they would be forced to raise their prices & pass them on to the consumer. can you imagine what a pizza would cost if dominoes became unionized? or, if all the truckers became unionized? how about the taxi companies? wherever there's a union, prices are higher......please prove me wrong, please.
come on america, tell me we would be better of with mcdonalds & burger king unionized..bet you wouldn't find a dollar menu anymore. let long john silver go union & i'll bet you won't be eating there much, if at all. can you imagine going to wendy's or kfc if they join the union?
some of the above named companies would be forced to fold up or move overseas---they simply could not stay in business, &, moreso for those companies that depend on repeat customers. maybe you would be willing to sponsor beauticians & barbers unionizing.
you see what unions have done to the caterpillar plant obama visited. you see what they have done to the auto industry. &, you see what they are doing to all of professional sports. we have lost so much here because of unions. bethlehem steel, mac trucks just to name 2 of them. yes, corporate greed has played a big role.
yes, people need to earn more then what they are getting but, unionizing them is not the way. if we are to think that obama & the democrats are serious about upgrading the pay scale, why did they give us such a low minimum wage? they vote themselves 'cost-of-living' allowances & raises almost yearly & yet, have done so little for the minimum wage earner. &, their plans for unions don't help them. you look at our national minimum wage---you have to admit it's a joke.
unionizing the above named companies will flood the unemployment rolls because most of the companies can't or won't stay here.
america, you don't have to believe what i'm telling you---just do this to find out how wrong i am....the next time you have a plumbing or electrical problem in your home or business, call a licensed, unionized company to come out & fix it. before you hire them, call a licensed, non-unionized company to come out & fix it. compare the estimates---i'm willing to bet that the work will be the same but, the costs to you will be very different.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH TORTURE?
hello america! sleeping dogs should be left sleeping, especially, the big ones. but, it seems that those that wish to further damage pres bushs' reputation, never learned the dangers of waking the dog up.
the methods used, (torture), to extract information from our captured enemies should be a national secret. when the idiots---you know who you are---expose those secrets, they expose our national interests as well...they tell our allies that we are weak &, they tell our enemies what to expect or, what not to expect.
ie; if i can break into your home knowing what you will & won't do, doesn't that give me an added advantage? &, your ally next door knows you can't keep your big mouth shut &, does & says
nothing about my breaking in gives me even more of an advantage.
i wrote of this subject before & the questions i pose to those that have a problem with torture remain the same. so, which of you want to be the first & answer them?????
1. if torturing a foreign captured enemy combatant prevented the death of just one american on the battlefield, is it wrong?
2. if your daughter (or any loved one) were kidnapped &, the police tortured someone to reveal where they were being held, would you really care how they got the information as long as your loved one was returned safely?
3. or, in the case of 9/11---if we had of caught one of those responsible for so many deaths & damage &, by torturing them prevented 9/11 from happening, would you say--LET 9/11 HAPPEN, WE CAN'T TORTURE ANYONE?
4. if your sister or brother were about to run over a roadside bomb in iraq but, we could torture someone to prevent it, what would you say?
5. if obamas daughter were kidnapped & the fbi couldn't find her, do you think you would hear him saying 'respect the rights of the kidnappers'? if you catch any of those involved ask them nicely where she is &, if they don't tell you, that's okay?
america, i do not favor wholesale torture, but, if torture will keep any american safe, i strongly support it.

WE NEED MORE THEN WORDS
hello america! i'm still being asked why i continue to bash obama &, i continue to list my reasons---but, more then that, i've noticed people changing their minds about his policies.
according to the pro-obama biased media, his trip overseas was a smashing success. the only success this trip produced was large crowds wherever he went:::he did not accomplish much in the positive. let me tell you why i say this...
he couldn't get the other countries to commit more combat troops in afghanistan; he couldn't get the other countries to commit more funds for world poverty; he has no idea which countries will take gitmo detainees; he tells overseas countries that they have more to fear from terrorists then we do & yet, over here, he drops the 'war on terrorism' slogan; he's pandering to china & russia at a time when they are building up their military, & yet, he wants us to reduce our defense budget; he bows to the prince of saudi arabia & then he denies it; he says our words have to mean more then just words to north korea & then, does nothing about the missile launch; he can't get russia & china to go along with a u n resolution calling for stronger sanctions against north korea---the u n just added more words in a condemnation of the launch-that's all; what did he accomplish except present the queen with a cd they can't play on their system?
then he gets back here & threatens the ship pirates with stronger action & they responded by going right out & snatching 4 more ships & even made an attempt to grab another american ship. so much for your words, obama.
&, during all this, obama & his admin is steadily trying to sell us on his 'spending' bills. how can you accept him on words alone? he went to that caterpillar plant & told them his bill was for them & a month later, caterpillar laid off 2,000-4,000 more people. isn't he the man that said timothy geithner was the only one that could help us? obama broke all of his own rules. his
'transparency' crap is a joke---go to that 'recovery' website & see how easy it isn't.
better yet, go to the site below from the citizens against government waste & look at their "PIG BOOK".....
http://www.cagw.org/site/PageServer?pagename=reports_pigbook2009
america, remember that the democrats were in control of the house & senate & obama could have rejected a lot of this pork. SO DON'T JUST BLAME THE REPUBLICANS---
obamas words may be soothing & needed but, judge him by his actions---
http://www.cagw.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=11918
&, for obama to have spoken about everything but the home-front problems of today says a lot. he has yet to say anything to america about the rash of multiple homicides/suicides nor has he said anything about the increase in child abuse because of the condition of the economy.
america, see him, hear him & then, really listen to him---you will be surprised at whatall he doesn't tell you & yet, he actions will tell you all you need to know---just look at his hiring of larry summers.

A WASTE OF MONEY
hello america! i must thank pres bush & obama for spending our money for the auto industry bailout. it's really wonderful knowing that they gave them all that money just to let them fall by the wayside, which is what they should have done from the beginning. i am a firm believer in our government staying out of the private sector. from day one, they have proved they can't run anything right.
anyhow, if the auto makers (either or both of them go into bankruptcy), how will the feds recoup the money they gave them? will we citizens have to eat the loss? &, how come obama isn't talking about it?
if, after our being told that they were 'too big to fail', obama gives them our money, then turns around & tells us they would be better off in bankruptcy, how can anyone honestly believe anything else he tells us?
if obama were just half-assed serious about protecting our interests, he would have hired more qualified people to look into these companies before he gave them one penny. but, he's just like every other politician in washington, you know, those that close the barn dooor after the horses have already escaped.
so much for your 'CHANGE' &, after he spends all that money the democratic controled congress gives him, that's what we will be left with, 'CHANGE'.
