Now that Barack and Michelle have abused every perk of living in the White House, they want to torture us some more. “Change You Can Believe In”, really means thinking that we are too stupid to remember what Obama has said in the past.

On January 26th, 2010, President Obama told Dianne Sawyer that he’d like to be a real good one term president rather than a mediocre two term one.

Failing this nation so badly in just three years, doesn’t phase Barry. Obama needs 8 years to totally destroy us.

What scares me more than the abysmal record of this president is that there are a lot of voters who still believe he needs more time. Barack Obama is like a plague that cannot be controlled.

Every campaign speech is peppered with the new mantra, “fair share”, as he continues his scorched America blitzkrieg. Don’t ever believe that Occupy Wall Street wasn’t a White House basement creation. The “have nots” were suddenly screaming about the 1% and attacking the same people that Obama, his czars and Democrats have been cronies with since his run for president began.

If the Republican Presidential hopefuls would stop attacking each other and focus on the creeps occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Obama’s polling would be at the bottom.

Mitt Romney is being speared for being an entrepreneur and following the right of every U.S. citizen to prosper in the capitalist system. The real “Corporate Vulture” is Barack Obama, who has laid waste to our economy and future. Unemployment numbers have once again gone up and it will still be hovering around 8.7 – 9% by election day.

In an interview with ABC News, President Obama was asked by Barbara Walters if he will “be a mediocre two-term president.”
“I want to be a really good two-term president,” Obama told Waters.  Walters then asked Obama if he feels he has been a really good one-term president.
“I think that the choices we’ve made have made America stronger, and have made the American people — put them in a better position in order to succeed over the long term. Short term, folks are still hurting,” Obama said in response.

Barack and Michelle have always shown extreme arrogance and utter contempt for America and now the recent book “The Obamas” just chronicles what we’ve seen every day.

Suddenly Axelrod was out deflecting the reports of the 2009 Halloween party with Johnny Depp and Tim Burton held at the White House. Michelle is all over the networks complaining that she is being portrayed as an “Angry Black Woman”.

The truth hurts don’t it!

The Obama’s say “Let them eat cake”, while every day hard working Americans suffer.

I so look forward to voting you out of office this November and kicking your angry, racist and hateful asses out of Washington!

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 8,200 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 3 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

“As you yourself said, Steve, I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president — with the possible exceptions of Johnson, FDR and Lincoln. You know, just in terms of what we’ve gotten done in modern history,”

On December 23rd, Obama was wearing a big grin as he signed the bill for the token two month tax holiday. Barack was smiling not because he was saving taxpayers a measly $19.23 a week. Obama was happy for his victory over the Republicans and the inevitable boost in his poll numbers. He could now turn his attention back to more important matters; which set of golf clubs he would take to Hawaii.

"What's my tee off time?"

The messaging battle over the Payroll Tax Holiday was won by the White House over misleading numbers, that the media accepted without any fact checking. Obama consistently said the average tax saving would be $1000 a year or $19.23 a week. Somehow that became “$40 a week” and for “160 million taxpayers”. The actual number of taxpayers is 137 million, no wonder the Democrats do not want to pass a budget.

The Republicans are to blame, especially in the Senate for passing the two month extension in a cowardly attempt to get home for the the holidays. The table has been flipped as Democrats appear to be “tax cutters” and the Republicans as heartless tax raisers.

Nothing could be farther from the truth and the Democrats now have a weapon in making this a renewed battle in February. It’s up to us voters to make sure they lose the election war.

This year’s Presidential Hawaii vacation is proving that Barack and Michelle live like royalty in direct contradiction of our nation’s founders, who did not want an Imperial Presidency.

First, Michelle and the girls left days earlier at a cost of over $100,000. But the kicker was a great report in the Hawaii Reporter by Malia Zimmerman, saying that this vacation will cost the taxpayers well over $4 million!

The round trip on Air Force One is over $3 million dollars, based on a $181,757 per flight hour as estimated by the U.S. Air Force. The USAF C-17 cargo aircraft that transports the Presidential limos, helicopters and other support equipment to Hawaii costs about $258,000.

The additional 7 houses for the Secret Service, Coast Guard and Navy Seals is $151,00. The 24 White House support staff staying in the elegant Moana Surfrider costs $72,216. Local Police and emergency service over time is $260,000.

The total cost (based on what is known) for a 17-day round trip vacation to Hawaii for the President and his family and staff and security is an estimated $4,113,038.

Then again “Princes” Nancy Pelosi is reportedly staying on the Big Island in a $10,000 a day suite on her annual vacation. Please remember all this when the Democrats blame Wall Street, millionaires and billionaires and sympathize with the OWS on election day, next November.

In keeping with his Kenyan royal blood lines, Obama made his 90th trip to the golf course. The 32nd this year, eclipsing the 2010 mark of 30 and is far ahead of his 2009 tally of 28 rounds as president. Keith Koffler of the White House Dossier estimates that’s about three months of golf, given that the excursions generally take about five hours – much of the useful portion of the day.

This is how our elected leader spends his time while blaming every hard working American with class warfare demagoguery and belittlement, except if you are a green job maker or a campaign contributor.

The hypocrisy stinks, we have to eat shit while President Obama and Michelle dines on Pacific Lobster. In between their gluttonous mouthfuls, they lecture us on what healthy food we must eat.

Let’s not get side tracked by their fat cat life styles, we still have a crappy economy, housing market and unemployment. I’ll give President Obama a rating of number one in how bad he has led the country.

Be careful, if the Republicans screw up any more we might have 5 more years of this.

On Monday he was there to warn Congress that they had to pass a bill to extend his Payroll Tax Holiday before the end of December, driving the point home with a shameless stunt of a countdown clock on two television monitors.

On Thursday, Obama was there again to continue his threats hours before a Senate vote on the bill and to complain on the failed nomination of Richard Cordray as director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The cloture vote on the payroll tax bill failed 50-48 and the Republicans blocked the Cordray nomination as a protest over the abundant new bureaucracies the White House continues to create to bypass the authority of Congress.

Then Obama foolishly took questions from the press. The first question, “Republican candidates have taken aim at your approach to foreign policy, particularly the Middle East and Israel, and accused you of appeasement.  I wanted to get your reaction to that.”

Obama, ignored the question and replied, “Ask Osama bin Laden and the 22-out-of-30 top al Qaeda leaders who’ve been taken off the field whether I engage in appeasement.  Or whoever is left out there, ask them about that.”

That is exactly how Barack Obama campaigns and “leads” by changing the subject.

Obama cannot answer the question on his treatment of Israel or how he will stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons. When asked a second time he said, “But what I can say with respect to Iran, I think it’s very important to remember, particularly given some of the political noise out there, that this administration has systematically imposed the toughest sanctions on Iraq — on Iran ever. “

That is a flat out lie. Last week after the Senate passed a bill 100-0 to penalize foreign financial institutions that do business with Iran’s central bank, the main conduit for its oil revenues. The administration pressed lawmakers to soften the proposed sanctions.

In regards to Obama’s Payroll Tax bill, the Republican have pushed to require him to approve the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada in order for them to support it.

The pipeline project is projected to create between 7,000 to 13,000 shovel ready jobs within the construction industry where unemployment is very high

The President has said repeatedly that he would veto any bill with the pipeline project attached.

“I know the suggestion right now is, is that somehow, well, this Keystone issue will create jobs, But here’s what I know:  However many jobs might be generated by a Keystone pipeline, they’re going to be a lot fewer than the jobs that are created by extending the payroll tax cut and extending unemployment insurance.“

This statement alone is the best reason to vote him out of office. Receiving Unemployment Insurance is NOT a job and getting an additional $19.23 a week in your paycheck means you have a job.

Barack Obama likes to whine, vilify, and pander to hand picked audiences. Scolding the Republicans in front of the Press Corps will not lead to embarrassing questions later.

Nor will a speech before a partisan crowd in Osawatomie, Kansas, on everyone doing their “fair share”, bring any ridicule. However I’ll offer mine.

The choice of Osawatomie was a blatant attempt for Barack Obama to compare himself to Teddy Roosevelt a progressive, who made a speech there in 1910. Watching this speech I thought I accidentally tuned into Saturday Night Live.

While Obama pleaded for the reasons why he needed a continued payroll tax cut for the “middle class”, by adding more taxes to the “rich” and invoking Roosevelt’s name, he forgot that the IRS didn’t exist until 1913.

Obama said the words “fair share” over 26 times, however when Federal Income Tax was established, it was 7% on incomes over $500,000; which equates to about $10 million today.

Here is another factoid; in 1910 the total of all Federal, State and local government spending was 8% of GDP, comprised of 2.5% Federal, 0.7% state, and 4.8% local.

Today, due to Obama’s massive spending, the Federal share is 23% of a total of all government spending of 40% GDP.

More apparent in his speech is the fact that Barack Obama is embracing and trumpeting his socialist views to satisfy his base of hard core leftists and the poor.

The Republican nominee for President can win by hammering home the failed agenda of Obama and the Democrat party. Keep repeating the job loss numbers, those who have lost homes, those who have left the  job market, the value of the U.S. dollar and our deficit. It doesn’t matter if it is Newt Gingrich or Mitt Romney. We can win by showing that President Obama’s record is even worse than Jimmy Carter’s. That’s a failure of epic proportions.

Obama, just like last year, promised to delay his planned seventeen day vacation to Hawaii until Congress voted his way. Who really cares.

That White House countdown clock should really be about how many days until his next vacation or better yet the number of days he has in office.

Which Countdown Clock is More Important

(polls)

Barack Obama was not vetted, his background was ignored. Obama’s habit of voting “present”, still apparent today, is considered unimportant.

President Obama scolds Republicans, again and again

Three years later we finally have proof that his policies have all failed and the nation is struggling because of it. Will that mean a guaranteed victory for the Republican presidential contender? I wouldn’t bet on it.

Republican candidates are battling it out for that job and so far we have a field of re-tread politicians and up and comers all with spotty records. True, most of them would do a better job than Obama, but that is not saying much.

When you have a President with lower approval levels than Jimmy Carter (42% vs. 53%), it’s easy to believe that any Republican can defeat him in 2012.

The irony in all this is that the media is looking at the records and words of all the Republican candidates with great scrutiny. The New York Times has been the most active in slamming Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain. But the left leaning MSM has ignored the very man in the White House; you can’t criticize the man you want in there, can you?

It will be either Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich who will be the Republican presidential candidate. Neither of them are Conservatives or embody the ideals of the Republican party. The general consensus is that we have to appeal to the independents and have a centrist candidate.

Are you bored yet? I am and I’m just as tired of railing against this empty suit of a President and we still have 11 months to go.

A majority of the voters do not begin to pay attention to the candidates and their message until two months before election day. The first Presidential debate in September of 2008 drew about 52. 4 million viewers, 127 million cast votes that November.

It’s entirely about messaging and today that only means attacking your opponent. President Obama’s horrible record is all out there for everyone to see. David Plouffe, David Axelrod and every proxie for Obama are out there trying to distract you from the truth.

The Democrat machine will use all it’s might to make dumb dumb look better than Mitt or Newt and continue the class warfare argument.

So what will it take for a Republican to win back the White House?

A solid, simple argument that explains clearly why we are on the wrong path and what will be done to correct it. We’ll need to get beyond Newt’s debating skills or Romney’s business acumen. The Republican nominee running for President will have to inspire, engage and raise the bar of what is expected of our President.

This is not American Idol, this is America’s Future.

I don’t believe Barack Obama is consciously plotting to ruin our future, I just think he’s such an economic idiot, he has no idea what he’s doing.

Warren Buffett explaining to President Obama what a Balanced Budget means.

Obama’s opening gambit was the failed $800 billion stimulus that made unemployment rates rises and no new (private sector) jobs created or “saved”. His next trick was the constant railing against Wall Street, Big Banks, Billionaires and Millionaires. The President’s excuse for our economic doldrums was anything from the Japanese tsunami, the Arab spring, to his number one fallback; George W. Bush.

But all rhetoric aside, what finally opened my eyes to Obama’s stubborn left-wing ideology was what Harold Hamm, the Oklahoma-based founder and CEO of Continental Resources, the 14th-largest oil company in America, was told in a White House meeting.

First, a little background, Mr Hamm discovered the gigantic and prolific Bakken oil fields of Montana and North Dakota. The Department of Energy’s data says North Dakota is on pace to surpass California in oil production in the next few years.

Harold Hamm, ranks 33rd in Forbe’s list of the wealthiest Americans, so he was invited last July to the White House with the likes of Bill Gates and Warren Buffet to join in their “Giving Pledge”, meaning the rich give more to charity.

Finally, Mr. Hamm had his chance to speak with President Obama, “I told him of the revolution in the oil and gas industry and how we have the capacity to produce enough oil to enable America to replace OPEC. I wanted to make sure he knew about this.”

President Obama replied, “Oil and gas will be important for the next few years. But we need to go on to green and alternative energy. Energy Secretary Steven Chu has assured me that within five years, we can have a battery developed that will make a car with the equivalent of 130 miles per gallon.”

Mr. Hamm expressed his shock to Stephen Moore of The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board, “Even if you believed that, why would you want to stop oil and gas development? It was pretty disappointing.”

Mr. Hamm calculates that if Washington would allow more drilling permits for oil and natural gas on federal lands and federal waters, “I truly believe the federal government could over time raise $18 trillion in royalties.” That’s more than the U.S. national debt.

With the right set of energy policies, Hamm believes the United States could be “completely energy independent by the end of the decade. We can be the Saudi Arabia of oil and natural gas in the 21st century.”

However Obama and his advisers are betting everything on the wrong horse and pouring billions into “green energy” companies, like the bankrupt Solyndra. Under Steven Chu’s direction, the DOE is awaiting  approval for $6.5 billion in loans to green energy projects.

These loans will create only 283 jobs at a cost of $23 million per! During the 2008 campaign, Obama promised five million green energy jobs. Once again an unrealistic, unfulfilled promise from this failure, President Obama.

The administration is so single-tracked on green energy that it is using every government agency it can to put road blocks up to stop any new oil exploration and drilling.

The Interior Department delays drilling permits by months and even years. The Securities and Exchange Commission is now tasked with requiring oil companies to report their production and federal royalties on thousands of individual leases under the Sarbanes-Oxley accounting rules.

A few months ago the Obama Justice Department brought charges against Continental and six other oil companies in North Dakota for causing the death of 28 migratory birds, in violation of the Migratory Bird Act. Wind Turbines are responsible for over 33,000 bird kills annually, this from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Have you seen the DOJ charging anyone in the Turbine industry?

While the national unemployment rate is 9.1%, North Dakota is the state with the lowest unemployment rate in the nation at 3.5%.  Harold Hamm claims that, “the state has 18,000 unfilled jobs, and these are jobs that pay $60,000 to $80,000 a year.”

Barack Obama has the wrong energy policy, just like he has the wrong jobs policy. But there he is, in hyper campaign mode, running around the country, blaming the Republicans again and yelling “Pass this Jobs Bill now!”

Obama’s own party doesn’t want to pass it, but that’s his plan to see it fail and blame, you know who.

Meanwhile those anarchistic, left loonies are “Occupying Wall Street” and blaming capitalism. Instead, we should be organizing a Million Unemployed March on Washington and occupy the White House and Congress to show them what real gridlock is! While we are at it let’s bring our pitchforks and torches and then throw them out at the ballot box in November 2012.

The guillotine is too good for the likes of them.

I teared up when I heard Paul Simon sing a haunting rendition of The Sounds of Silence, when James Taylor performed You Can Close Your Eyes and a flautist played Amazing Grace. I cried when I listened to the children read the names of those killed that day. Life goes on, but the memory of 9/11 will remain with us for all time.

I  had to do something more to honor this day, so I attended a conference called, 9/11 + 10: Is the U.S. any Safer, put on by the American Freedom Alliance with a keynote address by former Ambassador John Bolton.

It began with the screening of the director’s unedited version of The Path to 9/11, by writer-producer Cyrus Nowrasteh. It aired in 2006 on ABC Television, after much pressure from Bill Clinton and Sandy Berger who wanted certain scenes removed, that essentially told the truth; how Clinton’s administrations dropped the ball after the first World Trade bombing in 1993 and refused to give the “kill order” when the CIA had Osama Bin Laden in the crosshairs of a sniper rifle.

As a result of all the political pressure, the film has never been rebroadcast, released on DVD or shown anywhere in it’s entirety. It is the only banned film in America.

The screening made the weight of this day even more mournful; what would have happened if we had killed Bin Laden in 1998? But then we the sang our national anthem. Each time I have sung it, I always get a little emotional, but today, on September 11th it had more of a special meaning.

There was a beautiful performance by the West Los Angeles Children’s Choir, led by Barbara Klaskin Silberg. They sang God Bless America and Silberg’s own creation, Statue of Liberty Song based on the Emma Lazarus poem that is inscribed on the iconic monument.

The Executive Director and Senior Fellow of the AFA, Avi Davis, presented their Soul of Liberty Award to Operation Gratitude, President, Carolyn Blashek. This organization sends 100,000 care packages annually, filled with snacks, entertainment items and personal letters of appreciation addressed to individually named U.S. Service Members deployed in hostile regions, to their children left behind and to Wounded Warriors recuperating in Transition Units. This December they will have sent over 700,000 packages!

John Bolton was greeted with a standing ovation and his speech was delivered in his usual honest, clear-headed and direct tone. Ambassador Bolton chastised the politicians in Washington and the left for believing terrorist acts should be prosecuted like petty crime. “The attack on the World Trade Center was not a bank robbery, but an act of war.”

Mr Bolton, praised President Obama for launching more Predator Drone attacks than the eight years of George Bush and keeping Guantanamo open. He expressed that there will be terrorists held there long after Obama’s term ends, which he hoped would be January 2013. Bolton criticised the administration for accepting the eventuality of Iran having nuclear weapons and not focusing on North Korea which is very close to developing nuclear warheads for their missiles. He warned that North Korea is exporting their nuclear technology especially to Syria.

But John Bolton had his harshest words for Paul Krugman of the New York Times. Bolton explained that Krugman’s column, The Years of Shame, published today, on the tenth anniversary of 9/11, called Bernie Kerik, Rudy Giuliani, and George W. Bush, “fake heroes”, who “raced to cash in on the horror.” 

So ten years on are we any safer? We are still on guard and on offense. We’ve taken the fight to the Muslim extremists and killed many in Al Queda and the Taliban. But we still need to watch our backs from terrorist attacks on the homeland from the likes of Leftists like Michael Moore, Joe Biden, Maxine Waters, Jimmy Hoffa Jr., Andre Carson and Paul Krugman.

We all have the right of free speech of course, but Krugman and his ilk should not be throwing verbal bombs on September 11th, or any day on the calendar.

So why the need for a “big” speech before a joint session of the House? President Obama has been hinting that he was going to make a speech for well over a month. We have a jobs crisis, but this one has been with us for over two years and all due to the stifling economic policies of Barack Obama.

President Obama has the lowest approval numbers of his term and he can’t find his ass with two hands. This was only a campaign speech and an enormous waste of time for the American people and the members of Congress. This was Grand Kabuki Theater.

Obama’s speech can be summed up as desperate. “You should pass it right away.” Like a nagging child, Obama used it over 15 times. Some pundits called Obama’s tone urgent and forceful –  my take; it was panic. Barack Obama is frightened to death that he will not be re-elected. Campaigning is all he knows and that’s all he is capable of doing.

“The people of this country work hard to meet their responsibilities.  The question tonight is whether we’ll meet ours.  The question is whether, in the face of an ongoing national crisis, we can stop the political circus and actually do something to help the economy; whether we can restore some of the fairness and security that has defined this nation since our beginning.”

The start of the “political circus” began with Barack Obama, who consistently uses class warfare and demagoguery to make his political points.

This is a $450 Billion spending bill and Obama’s claim that it will cost us nothing is playing his old three card monte game. This is Stimulus 3, another half a trillion dollars in deficit spending.

“Pass this jobs bill, and starting tomorrow, small businesses will get a tax cut if they hire new workers or raise workers’ wages.  Pass this jobs bill, and all small business owners will also see their payroll taxes cut in half next year.  If you have 50 employees making an average salary, that’s an $80,000 tax cut.  And all businesses will be able to continue writing off the investments they make in 2012.”

That is only a tiny $1600 per employee and doesn’t even cover the cost of the paper work involved.

“The American Jobs Act will repair and modernize at least 35,000 schools.  It will put people to work right now fixing roofs and windows; installing science labs and high-speed internet in classrooms all across this country.  It will rehabilitate homes and businesses in communities hit hardest by foreclosures.  It will jumpstart thousands of transportation projects across the country.  And to make sure the money is properly spent and for good purposes, we’re building on reforms we’ve already put in place.  No more earmarks.  No more boondoggles.  No more bridges to nowhere.  We’re cutting the red tape that prevents some of these projects from getting started as quickly as possible.  And we’ll set up an independent fund to attract private dollars and issue loans based on two criteria:  how badly a construction project is needed and how much good it would do for the economy.”

The government funding of school repairs and modernization is only a payback to the unions in the construction industry. That’s a small number of potential employees as only 13% of all construction workers are unionized. The President’s proposal is a boon to the Teacher’s union, where they represent 37%. The Teacher’s unions traditionally gives large amounts of their hard earned money to Obama and the Democratic party. Their PAC, American Federation of Teachers donated $2,348,750 to Democrats in 2009-10.

“Pass this jobs bill, and companies will get a $4,000 tax credit if they hire anyone who has spent more than six months looking for a job.”

That saves an employer $77 a week per new hire. This will not get employers to suddenly start hiring. The roadblock is the thousands of pages of new federal regulations and the unknown traps of Obama Care.

“Pass this jobs bill, and the typical working family will get a fifteen hundred dollar tax cut next year.  Fifteen hundred dollars that would have been taken out of your paycheck will go right into your pocket.”

This amounts to only $29 dollars a week per working family, enough for about seven gallon of gasoline in their automobile per week.

The rest of Obama’s speech was a wash-and-repeat of his campaign proposals he has been making all over the country since June. A Veterans job plan, a mortgage refinancing gimmick, an internship, training and community college tuition incentive. Typical Democratic party entitlements to make workers reliant on the government, instead of themselves. The bill is a program for more spending, a democrat’s wet dream.

No speech from Barack Obama would be complete without imparting class warfare and an attack on corporations and the wealthy. Obama of course, never sees it that way through his Saul Alinsky contact lenses.

“Should we keep tax loopholes for oil companies?  Or should we use that money to give small business owners a tax credit when they hire new workers?  Because we can’t afford to do both.  Should we keep tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires?  Or should we put teachers back to work so our kids can graduate ready for college and good jobs?  Right now, we can’t afford to do both.

This isn’t political grandstanding.  This isn’t class warfare.  This is simple math.  These are real choices that we have to make.  And I’m pretty sure I know what most Americans would choose.  It’s not even close.  And it’s time for us to do what’s right for our future.”

So there it was, all the pomp and circumstance of a “State of the Union” address or an emergency that suddenly threatens the security of the nation. It was neither; we’ve known about the state of our economy for the three awful years of the Obama presidency.

The only urgency we have is that Barack Obama is scared shitless that he will lose the election in 2012. I say, Yes He Can and Will.
