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.

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.
