We are almost into September. President Obama has been in the Oval office for almost seven months and things are wonderful. Just kidding! It gets old writing about how much money that the government is spending, borrowing & allocating. The new deficit for the next ten years is going to be 9 trillion, adjusted up from 7.1 trillion. Off the top of your head, do you know how many zeros that is? The President nominated Ben Bernake for another four years as Fed chairman since he brought us back from the great depression. I'm not sure if we are out of the woods as of yet. I think Bernanke is going to have a rough time being confirmed by republicans and some democrats. If he doesn't get confirmed, maybe the President can make him a Czar? I wish the administration would concentrate on the economy and stop with the terrorist torture side show in attempt to take the spotlight off of the healthcare opposition and the faltering economy. I've been hearing rumors that the public option is off the table? I think I'll take a wait and see posture. As I watch the pundits spin the spin, I am flabbergasted when when they say the Obama administration is deliberately trying to bring down the econonmy to further their policies. To me, that would be diabolical, bordering on treason. If the government would leave alone the private sector, it wouldn't take very long to repair the economy. Some economists have put the blame on Bernanke for the country's issues. Running a loose ship when it comes to monetary policies. He has been accused of not being very transparent and not tracking the billions of dollars doled out under federal programs. Whatever his critics say, he will have to be the financial superman to bring this country (and world) out of this recession. I just wish the government would tighten it's belt like we've had to do. Maybe the President should tighten his belt and stop his date nights via Air Force One and instead of extravagent vacations, try a staycation. I'm just joking, everyone deserves a vacation with their families. I was hoping the American public wouldn't have to foot the bill for it. Remember, on Saturday, September 12th, the 912 Project is sponsoring a march on DC. 9:00am at Freedom Park. I hope to see you there. "Talk the talk, Walk the walk."

Newsflash:
*Glenn Beck
Everyone knows Glenn Beck is passionate about his country, freedom and liberty. He has not been a fan of the President. Recently, Beck called Obama a racist. Since then, a group called Color of Change has initiated a boycott campaign targeting the advertisers of the Glenn Beck Show on Fox News. You can agree or disagree with the comment, however, what happened to the freedom of speech? 1st Amendment? The Color of Change organization was started by Van Jones, the administration's green jobs czar, he is behind this conflict of interest, I mean group. Should we start boycotting everything we don't care for? Soon we will be a socialist or worse, a communist's state, because that is what happens and before long, no one says anything. Support Glenn Beck's freedom of speech by emailing the sponsors that cancelled advertising on the GB show.
*The President's (Dis)Approval Rating
Gallup released today's poll on the President. 51% Approve / 42% disapprove. Down from the last poll. All of the political pundits brag about how intelligent Obama is. When is he going to realize that the honeymoon is over, the citizens do not want his healthcare plan and they are sickened by his administration's out of control spending. When the nation hears a 10 year deficit of 9 trillion dollars revised up from 7.1 trillion. Even the uneducated know when they've been had. Common sense should prevail and the President would score huge political clout with the people if he scrapped the healthcare and crap and trade legislation and started over. I'm not holding my breathe.
*History Lesson for Nancy
The German Social Democratic Party (SDP) was established in 1875 with the publication of its Gotha programme. The programme was a mixture of the ideas of Karl Marx and Ferdinand Lasselle. Its originally leaders included Ferdinand Bebel and Wilhelm Liebknecht.
In the 1877 General Election in Germany the SDP won 12 seats. This worried Otto von Bismarck, and in 1878 he introduced an anti-socialist law which banned Social Democratic Party meetings and publications.
After the anti-socialist law ceased to operate in 1890, the SDP grew rapidly and in 1912 the party won 110 seats in the Reichstag. Led by Ferdinand Bebel, Karl Kautsky, Friedrich Ebert, and Eduard Bernstein, the SDP was now the largest political party in Germany. During the First World War a group of members led by Kurt Eisner left to form the Independent Socialist Party (USPD).
In October, 1918, Max von Baden invited right-wing members of the SDP to join his coalition government. On 9th November Friedrich Ebert took power and during the German Revolution he called in the German Army and the Freikorps to deal with the extreme left. Ebert was now condemned as a traitor by the Independent Socialist Party and the German Communist Party.
On 11th February, 1919, Friedrich Ebert was elected as the first chancellor of the Weimar Republic. Ebert, preoccupied with economic problems and a fear of further revolution, remained in office until his death in Berlin on 28th February, 1925.
The Social Democratic Party continued to be the largest party in the Weimar Republic until July 1932 when the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP) won 230 seats to the SDP's 133.
The SDP voted against the Enabling Act in March, 1933, which gave Adolf Hitler dictatorial powers. The Nazi Party banned the SDP in June 1933 and most of its leaders were arrested and sent to concentration camps.
The SDP was re-formed in 1959 and has taken part in several coalition governments in Germany in recent years.
Hey, Nancy, the Nazi party were associated with the Social Democratic Party, your party. As David Hedrick (Marine veteran) said at a Washington state townhall meeting, "She should look on her own sleeve" (paraphrased) talking about when Pelosi accused protesters of wearing a Swastika.
