IT'S CALLED TRUST

hello america! it's called trust & when obamas name & the word trust are in the same sentence, it's an oxymoron...it's become that way with arlen spector & the word trust...it's become that way with nancy pelosi & the word trust...but, my main concern is with obama & i'll tell you why.

1.....obama said his cabinet would be held to high ethical standards & yet, he's hired people embroiled in scandals, tax evasions & lobbying & has made an excuse for every one of them
2.....obama said he would not grow government & yet, he's expanding it at an alarming rate & he's doing it in such a way that the people he's appointing as 'czars' only have to answer to him-so much for upholding the constitution
3.....obama continues to say he inherited this mess & yet, not once has he maned up & taken credit for contributing to the fall of the housing market because of his actions as a lawyer with acorn in suing citygroup under cra in 1993
4.....obama continues to say he inherited this mess & yet again, not once has he maned up & taken responsibility for his extremely passive stint as a senator in washington
5.....obama said he wouldn't sign off on bills containing 'pork' & yet, he signed the tarp bill into law that contains billions of pork dollars. he then went on to say he would 'scrutinize' all future bills before signing them & then signed the budget bill into law containing even more billions of pork dollars
6.....obama said he would not raise taxes on the middle class & yet, one of the first bills he signed was raising the taxes on tobacco products &, even if you use his 'fuzzy' math formula, you'll find there are many more middle class tobacco users then wealthy class users
7.....obama said he was the only one that could fix america's economic problems & yet, here it is 6 months later & it ain't fixed. to be honest, it's worse. obama rammed the tarp bill down our throats with the promise of getting the money out the door immediately & yet, the majority of the money is just sitting there doing nothing for us. you don't have to take my word---just look at that caterpillar plant in illinios obama used to promote his tarp bill. unemployment is still on the rise; homes are still being foreclosed on; banks still aren't lending; imports are up while exports are down; businesses are still folding; the states & cities the tarp bill was supposed to help are still in dire straights; &, the american people are still hurting
8.....obama promised to promote bipartisan support in washington---his attempts at this are a joke &, he should be given a rating of 'U' for unacceptable. you can't invite 8-13 of your own party & just 1-3 lowly members of the other party & expect progress---this was just 'see-through' window dressing---where in obamas history has he ever been the first one to 'reach across the isle'?
9.....obama says america needs this healthcare reform bill & yet, i am far from convinced he's even read it. &, if i ever get a shot at asking him some questions, i know that they will do worse to me then 'joe the plumber' but, i relish that opportunity. it may be his bill but we all have questions such as: if obama is going to prohibit doctors from investing & owning healthcare companies (& yes, i can understand why) why is congress allowed to invest in the very same companies they regulate &/or allocate federal funds to? &, if we are not to be taxed to pay for this bill, what in the hell does "The tax imposed under this section shall not be treated as tax" mean? as an individual, if i don't have government acceptable healthcare insurance, you're going to impose a 2.5% on my income? you're going to exempt non-resident aliens from individual taxes? something is very shady here concerning 'taxes'
10...obama says 'buy america first' & then impliments a program that gives the foreign car makers the advantage. ask obama why he makes americans pay for a program that allows them to turn in their american clunkers & buy new foreign cars? then ask him how this helps the american automakers.
11...obama couldn't wait to lift the executive ban on overseas abortions & education thus freeing the american taxpayers dollars to pay for the program. in this sorry economic period, this is something that could have waited until better days. so, i/you must ask obama how this helps those americans that have are struggling now?
12...obama promised to get rid of the programs that don't work & yet, his aunt is still here (illegally) & living off of america. she has another hearing coming up in the beginning of 2010. obama, this immigration program isn't working like it should be & yet, why havn't you done something about it?
13...obama got all this money for education & schools & yet, he never once addressed the 3 main problems with our education system which are: 1-the enviornment the students live in; 2-the enviornment the students travel through to get to the schools: 3-the enviornment within the shchools. obama, no matter how many coats of paint you apply to rotted wood, you still have rotted wood

america, obama has had plenty of time to open the shroud of secrecy surrounding his past & has yet to do so. we still know more about osama bin laden, joe the plumber & sarah palin. I didn't trust obama in the beginning & i've come to distrust him even more. obama, why won't you open your college records to the american people? when the media & my government can tell where bin laden went to school & his grades & then turn around & can't tell me about obamas, my warning bells go off.

america, i'm very sorry to say, you've been duped. when you go to buy a new house & look in the backyard & all you can see is ragweed, guess what? no matter what the homeowner may tell you, when you open that back door tomorrow, you won't be seeing rose bushes & elm trees. obama has lied to us: i know it, he knows it &, you know it. how can you continue to trust him?

AMERICA, SOUND OFF

hello america! here's your chance to call or prove me stupid...you see obama & all of these politicians having these townhall meetings but, HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED WHAT THEY DON'T HAVE THERE? they don't have the 1,000 plus pages there. the dem are arguing about what's not in the bill while the repubs are arguing about what it does contain. &, the media shows seem to be the only ones that have the bill in front of them when they talk about it. how can you argue over a hastily written 1,000 plus pages bill relying on memory or what your staffers told you?

america, if you've been doing your homework, you'll know that there are some pretty serious discrepancies between what the dems are saying is not in the bill & what is really there. from the poor to the wealthy, the young to the old, this bill will effect every american living &, those yet to be born. we cannot afford to let our government screw it up. we have the power to voice our concerns & opinions to our elected officials &, if they listen, let them know they will not get your vote in the next election.

i look it at this way:::if you're for the bill, it's only because of what you've heard from the dems---not because you read it. i strongly urge all americans to read it & then ask their elected officials to explain it.

LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!!!!

OBAMA, GIVE UP YOUR PRESENT HEALTHCARE

hello america! to listen to obama & the dems, you'd think that anyone voicing displeasure with the heathcare reform bill was un-american. if you are stupid enough (& some of you are) to believe that, then, you must also believe that obama was un-american when he voiced his displeasure with the iraq war. he & congress voiced their displeasure daily concerning pres bush---was that un-american? this is no more then an attempt to silence those that have grave concerns about this bill. after all, what is more american then be able to voice your displeasure with congress except the american right to do so.

these townhall meetings are truly showing america that the dems don't have the answers. they write these bills & try to rush them through before they are read so they won't have to face the backlash. voting on any unread bill should be unconstitutional.

this bill needs to be put under a microscope & honestly broken down for the american people---apparently, this is the very thing obama & the dems were trying to avoid. however, we can thank those in congress that opposed this bill (blue-dog dems, the repubs) & the media (to include those that were pro-obama biased during the elections).

i have the bill on my puter & I am having a hard time understanding it. it appears that the writers went out of their way to camouflage what they were saying. this bill needs to be simplified & honest.

america, i can best sum up what the problem is by saying this:::if this bill is the "ALL THAT" of healthcare reform bills, obama & congress could easily convince us of this by giving up their present healthcare & joining the one they are trying to impose on us----end of debates & skepticism. by them not doing this leads one to the old adage that what's good for the gander is not quite good enough for the goose.

THE DAY IS COMING

hello america! in one of my earlier posts, i said that before obama is through, this country would be wishing pres bush were still in office. that day is quickly approaching.


today, i woke up to foxnews live discussing the 'cash for clunkers' program. i was, & still am, firmly against this program. for one thing, it's not for america's benefit. ford focus was the number one selling car under this program but, toyota has claimed that spot. this program should prove once & for all to obama that american's want the most bang for their buck & (unfortunately) ford, gm & chrysler ain't it. gm & chrysler aren't even in the top 5 so, how is this program helping the us automakers? toyota is 1st, 3rd, 4th, & 5th. i must have missed the part where toyota became america.


when you compare the foreign-made cars with american-made cars, you have to look at the price, mpg's, comfort, style, warranty, maintenance, etc:::&, you have to admit that the foreign-made car is a better value &, even moreso with obamas program.


& then, check this out, the 'clunkers' that are turned in are destroyed. those charity's that have had those 'clunkers' donated to them in the past, are already hurting. "WAYS TO WORK" won't be able to help a lot of people with new cars. individuals won't be able to get parts to keep their 'clunkers' running.


let's keep it real:::obama started this program to boost the sales for gm & chrysler; not ford & toyota & (as is becoming a pattern with obamas programs) it 'ain't not' working. & obama wants to dump even more money into it. obama, you can convince me your program works when you can name the specific gm & chrysler automakers that have grown because of it...don't just throw out numbers without specifics---something you excell at.


&, then you have this: the whitehouse wants you to contact them when someone talks negatively about obamas healthcare reform bill. so they can silence you??? or, do to you what they did to 'joe the plumber'. obama already wants to stifle free speech.


&, lastly...you have these townhall meetings where the dems don't have the answers to the questions & then turn around & blame the repubs for staging the uproar...do they not read the bills they are trying to promote? do they not see that obamas approval numbers are going down (minus 7 points in the last 30 days)? do they not hear that nancy pelosi says she doesn't care about popularity numbers & yet, you won't hear her say that come election time? do they not hear charles rangel say americans don't care about the 'pork' in the bills & yet, you won't hear him say that come election time? do they not hear the harry reid say he will push the bill through with or without repub support & yet, you won't hear him say that come election time?


now there are those of you that think that whatever is said negatively about obama & the dems is made up by idiots & those plotting against america...i'm here to tell you that i love my country & what my country stands for. i'm also here to tell you that if you saw any of the news concerning the townhall meeting with arlen spector & kathleen sebelius, you'd understand why america is showing its frustration---basically, spector said the bills are broken up & given to the staffers to read & sebelius said that if the legislatures don't read the bill, the voters should tell them to. &, in response to spector saying they must pass this bill quickly, sebelius said the senate hadn't even wrote it yet.

america, we owe it to ourselves & the generations to come to get the right people in washington that will do our bidding---not their own...

OBAMA, OPEN MOUTH-INSERT FOOT

hello america! when a reporter asked obama about the white cop arresting the black professor he said, "i don't know all the facts". this in itself would have been perfect but, he then went on to say that "the police acted stupidly". this was live, on national tv &, no matter how you spin it, he should have kept his mouth shut. now he's backtracking (as is his pattern) & inviting both to have a beer with him & their families at the whitehouse.

my problems with this whole thing are:::
1. the cop should refuse the invitation until obama apologizes
2. obama should not only apologize to the cop but, he should also apologize to america for
getting involved in something that does not concern him & allowing it to become a bigger
issue then it was.
3. does america pay for this trip & the beer? &, please don't forget what all this entails such as
security, staffing & service.
4. &, my biggest peeve is, with all that's going on in this country, obama has nothing better to
do then create a bs scenario to distract us from the more pressing problems that he seems
incapable of solving.

if obama had truly put something in place to really help us as quickly as he is trying to take his
own foot out of his mouth, this country would be in a much better position then it is.

TO: BROTHER T--- & OTHERS LIKE HIM

hello america! amazingly i find myself still trying to educate others concerning obama. in fact, i was in a debate with this one brother (reading, pa-friday-7/24/2009) who is all for obama & strongly dislikes pres bush. &, loke obama, he is willing to give all the blame for our country's problems on pres bush. well, brother T---, you are entittled to your opinion, as is all americans.

seemingly, you got caught up in the obama rush & you've become an obamaholic. the man can do no wrong in your eyes. this is the same reaction i get when i confront other obamaholics. obama supporters (at least in public) go to great lengths to show their support for him---but, behind closed doors, they seem to be coming to their senses because obamas poll numbers are falling.

but, back to brother T---. when i ask him what i ask others about obama, he can't answer me. he changes the subject. & america, it's a very simple question...what has obama ever done that was good for this country? why is this one question so hard for his supporters to answer?

if you support a professional sports team, you can tell me all about them---good & bad. ditto with a boxer; race car driver;;;;i should say that we debate sports from little league on up. america, you know we can get into some pretty heated debates about sports. car owners, you can tell me if your car is good or if its a lemon & why. shoppers, you can tell which stores are good to shop in & which ones aren't & why. flyers can tell you which airlines are good & which ones aren't. & why. for that matter, my ex-wife (she's a nurse) & i got into a little debate over which hospital was better for me. diners can tell you which restaurants are good or bad & why. we even debate which state or city is good to live in or not & why. we even debate tv shows. &, don't forget our soda & beer commercials---'tastes great/less filling'. so, if you can tell me that garden fresh veggies better for me then canned veggies, why can't you tell why obama is good for this country? why can't you tell me what good he has done for this country?

brother T---, you & all the others can blame pres bush for this country's problems but, when all the facts come out, i wonder if you'll be man enough to apologize to your country.

there are many facts against your thinking &, if you were to do your own homework on the subject, you'd come to the same conclusion that i got--c u friday.

JUST A CONTINUATION

hello america! this is a continuation of yesterdays writing. obama said "our words must mean more than words". he said this in reference to north korea's 1st missile launch of 09. obama tells iran to stand down on its nuclear ambitions. obama tells israel to stop building on the gaza strip. he tells russia to leave georgia alone. he told china to be humane to its people. he said he needed his healthcare bill passed before the august recess. he said the police acted stupidly in arresting professor gates. he said his healthcare bill would help america. he said his energy (cap & trade) bill would help america. he said he wanted to improve the government agencies that work & get rid of the ones that don't. he said he would not expand government. (& this one really bothers me)---he continues to say that he 'inherited' this mess.

america, you know the results of each of the stated issues. this man is not for america...
