Blame it on Rio!

The thrill of victory, and the agony of Obama's defeat. Today, the world watched with baited breathe who would host the 2016 Olympic Summer games. The IOC took the wind out of the windy cities' sails when it announced Chicago had the least amount of votes and was eliminated from the running. Ssshhh! You could hear a pin dropping in Daley Plaza. Chicagoans were stunned and in disbelief. People were seen leaving the crowd in tears. I feel for the citizens of Chicago. I don't feel for the Chicago political corruption machine or the Elitists that conspired to profit heavily. The Reverend Jesse Jackson said that "America sent our A-Team." Michelle, the President, the Mayor, the Governor of Illinois, Oprah Winfrey and Valerie Jarrett supposedly would razzle-dazzle the members of the IOC. I must admit, I was in tears when Michelle told her story of her father and her when she was young. What was she thinking? They don't care, nobody cares about this. Did she really think that would melt their hearts and they would give Chicago the Olympics? President Obama's speech was monotone and lackluster. Do you think for one minute that this would persuade the IOC members minds? Needless to say, this is a crushing defeat for Obama's ego and his Presidency. He is human after all. I guess not everyone in the world is infatuated with the Messiah. They will spin this a number of ways. I heard some are blaming Michael Jordan for not showing up, some will blame George Bush, just because they do it all of the time, anyway. Some blame the city's violence and recent school violence. What about blaming the President for a flawed strategy? He shouldn't had gotten involved in the first place. If I were President, I would not have gone to Copenhagen unless I knew it was in the bag. This looks bad for Obama, especially since the pitiful economic reports surfaced today. Unemployment is at 9.8%, the highest since 1984. Mr. Obama was praying to himself to win the Olympics and take the spotlight off his problems. His disengagement with Afghanistan, unemployment, foreclosures, healthcare are prevalent when he jets off to Copenhagen for approximately 5 hours. This is not Presidential, this looks bush league. (no pun intended) I heard that "Humble Pie Eating Contests" are becoming the new Olympic sport. This has been a bad week for the President.

Yes, Senate Dems do want illegal alien Obamacare coverage
By Michelle Malkin • September 30, 2009 03:10 PM

Call. Them. Out:

Senate Finance Committee Democrats rejected a proposed a requirement that immigrants prove their identity with photo identification when signing up for federal healthcare programs.

Finance Committee ranking member Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said that current law and the healthcare bill under consideration are too lax and leave the door open to illegal immigrants defrauding the government using false or stolen identities to obtain benefits.

Grassley’s amendment was beaten back 10-13 on a party-line vote.

The bill, authored by committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.), would require applicants to verify their names, places of birth and Social Security numbers. In addition, legal immigrants would have to wait five years, as under current law, after obtaining citizenship or legal residency to access federal healthcare benefits such as Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program or receive tax credits or purchase insurance through the exchange created by the legislation.

But the [bill] would not require them to show a photo ID, such as a drivers license. Without that requirement, the bill “remains dearly lacking when it comes to identification,” Grassley said. “Frankly, I’m very perplexed as to why anyone would oppose this amendment,” he said.

Going Rogue:
This has to be driving the liberals crazy. Conservative and some anti-Obama books are flying off the shelves at bookstores everywhere. Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Michelle Malkin, Glenn Beck and now... Sarah Palin. The pundits on the left can not figure out the "what and why" that makes her so captivating to such a large cross section of conservatives. I didn't say republicans. I think many republicans do not see her as a viable candidate for the republican party. She appeals to the true conservatives because she is real, honest and doesn't conform to structured approach. Also, out of the four presidential candidates,(two vice and two presidential) she is the only one that has executive experience. She ran a state. Obama was a community agitator, Biden has been in the Senate since Roman times and McCain was in the Navy before he ventured into politics. It will be interesting to see what transpires in the next three years.

Polls you can live by:
28% strongly approve of the way President Obama is performing his role as President.
38% strongly disapprove
Presidential Approval Index Rating minus 10

"What A Wicked Web We Weave"

Why does the elites of Chicago want the Olympics in 2016 so badly? I think it goes much deeper than just hosting the games. First, I don't trust Mayor Daley as far as I can throw him. Forty nine people in his administration has been indicted since 1990. That is one heck of a record. However, business as usual in Chicago. Chitown is split on hosting the Olympics. A lot of Chicagoans think it will put them in the poor house. They are not up for the task. Take a look at other cities who have hosted the games. Athens, Montreal, Sydney, Beijing & salt Lake City. The only one that made money is Salt Lake City because of Mitt Romney's intervention and eradicating the corruption. London is already over budget for the 2012 Olympics. Chicago can not handle the traffic, influx of people and mass transit is deficient at best. So why the big push by the President you ask? Paybacks! President Obama has a lot of political debt to pay off. Let's discuss the President's consigliere, Valerie Jarrett. She is Obama's closest and most trusted friend. Her official job with the White House is Senior Adviser and Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Affairs and Public Engagement. She is a high level operative in the White House. She goes way back with the Obamas. She sat on the board with Michelle at the Chicago Hospital and the "Patient Dumping Scheme." Ms. Jarrett managed the Habitat Company for twelve years, and to this day, she refuses to answer questions about the dilapidated buildings in her portfolio. Competition with Tony Rezko, another Obama crony? She also co-chaired the transition team for the Obama administration. Also she was a senior adviser to his campaign. Fast forward to today, she is smack dab in the middle of OlympicGate. (I just made that up) Ms. Jarrett said she only wanted to bring the Olympics to Chicago for Mayor Daley. I believe there is an ulterior motive. If the Olympics were awarded to Chicago, Property owners (friends and associates) would have an outlet to sell (at high prices) dilapidated properties and useless land. Does Valerie Jarrett own or have an interest in these land/property companies? Does the Obamas? It's needless to say, I don't trust the whole lot from Chicago. It reminds me of the 1930's-1940's corrupt Chicago with the gangsters and guns. Now the gangsters wear Brioni and Canali suits and use Mont Blanc pens instead of guns. It is the same. Next, Chicago can't afford it, the city is having major economic and financial issues. However, they would be eligible for stimulus money in the billions, which would end up in many pockets that didn't deserve it. Again, the hard working people of Chitown would get the shaft, and I'm not talking about Richard Roundtree and Moses Gunn. "Shut your mouth." Change you can get rich in.

The Chitown Hustlers, Not:


Carbon Footprints in the sand:
The First Lady, Valerie Jarrett and Oprah Winfrey left Wednesday for Copenhagen to lobby for Chicago to host the 2016 Olympic Summer Games. Of course, she signed out a government jet for the ensemble to rough it. You know Oprah is on a budget and can't afford it. That Madoff thing, I guess. Michelle is so dedicated to America, she said in an interview that she sacrificed to do this for Chicago and America in which she is so proud of, now. Hubby is flying over to join her in a full court press and maybe a little arm twisting. (Speaking about arms, Michelle has fabulous arms!)How much money is it costing America for two separate jets (maybe more) to fly over there for a short period of time only to benefit Chicago, Illinois? And what about the carbon footprint? I can't believe the gall they have knowing that Mr. Obama is hoping to get the "Crap & Trade" bill passed. With all of the issues happening here and abroad, is this what a strong President does in the time of crisis? The rest of the world loves a weak President.

Classic Old One-Sacrifice:


Foolish Words:
""we risk consigning future generations to an irreversible catastrophe"
President Obama at the U.N. Climate summit, September 22, 2009

Polls we can live by:
43% view Obama's trip to Copenhagen as bad.
36% disagree.

29% of voters strongly approve of Obama performing his role as President.
37% of voters strongly disagree.
Presidential Approval Index Rating of minus 7.

Demigods and Hypocrites

Tax evasion, adultery, DWI, money laundering, bribery, lying, ethics and Tom Foolery... And that is just CONGRESS! Our citizens are so dissatisfied with our current leadership. President Obama has lost his mojo that he had when he took the oval office. I think the silver lining, if there is one, is that the American people has come together as a force that surely got the politicians wondering what was happening. And it will continue. I get emails from different groups I belong to about upcoming gatherings and events. It pains me to admit this, but, I have been agreeing with liberals. There it is, I said it. Joking aside, a number of liberals I know have spoke out against a majority of the current administration's programs and policies. The bottom line is the spending. It is out of control, giving Obama and the congress money is equivalent to giving a crack addict crack. Joe Wilson was censured for calling the President a liar. (paraphrased) Today, Alan Grayson, D-FL, made a really cheesy and unprofessional presentation on how the the republicans have a healthcare plan that wants you to die quickly. What a fool. And he makes a decent salary funded by the taxpayers. Will Pelosi censure Grayson? What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

Grandstanding:


Unfortunately, I guess this is the best we can do in regards to representatives. Let's take a look at some of our elected officials. Charles Rangel, chair of the House Ways & Means committee. He allegedly has lied about his taxes, rental properties and investments. Pelosi said she would have it resolved by the end of 2008. Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, has fund raisers hosted by lobbyist for United Healthcare, Charles Schumer receives $1.65M from different financial Wall St. firms. Harry Reid, D-NV, made a huge amount of money when he didn't own it. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, made a lot of money on an investment, which was rather fishy. The list is long , but distinguished. Of course, it isn't just democrats. There has been a full compliment of republicans guilty of many of the same crimes. Yes, crimes. The only way to resolve this dilemma is to start voting them out. We need to take the situation upon ourselves and make some changes.

Bob Basso as Thomas Paine:


It wasn't Rape-Rape:
Fugitive Roman Polanski, film director, producer, rapist was arrested in Switzerland on Saturday. Ironically, he was on his way to receive a lifetime achievement award at the Zurich Film Festival. Hollywood celebrities are coming out in droves to defend this man. He raped a thirteen year old girl in Jack Nicholson's house after giving her Quaaludes and booze. She was thirteen and he was forty four. But, I guess if you are talented and make cool films, the liberals will come to your defense. I pose this question to the defenders, what if it was their daughter raped by a forty four year old degenerate? I thought so. I hope he is extradited to the states and thrown in the slammer. Then he play rape whenever he wants. Just ask Whoopi Goldberg!

TEN FOR '10: WINNING WASHINGTON BY EMPOWERING AMERICANS

Laura Ingraham has done it again: September 15, 2009
1) Taxpayers' Bill of Rights (TABOR). Limit federal spending growth to the percentage in population growth plus the rate of inflation; provide taxpayers the option of filing a post-card sized return using a low, flat tax rate of 15%

2) End Tax-funded abortions. Stop federal payments to Planned Parenthood and prohibit any taxpayer-subsidized health insurance plan from covering abortion

3) Defend American Borders. Complete America's border-protection initiatives using remaining funds from the so-called stimulus bill

4) King Dollar. Preserve a strong dollar so that Americans' savings aren't wiped out by inflation and the U.S. dollar remains the world's reserve currency

5) Empower American Business. Immediately slash corporate tax rates to 15% and scrap the capital-gains tax altogether

6) Defend America. Strengthen America to defend our homeland and fully fund an operational, layered missile-defense system

7) Statism Exit Plan. De-fund czars; immediately cease bailout payments to failed companies; ban future bailouts

8) End Generational Theft. As few believe America's entitlement programs will be able to pay benefits to future generations, provide younger workers the choice of diverting payroll/Social Security taxes into personal retirement accounts

9) Restore America's System of Justice. Introduce penalties for frivolous lawsuits, where those who launch unsuccessful lawsuits are liable for the defendants' legal bills

10) American Energy Independence. All-of-the-Above strategy that embraces alternatives, expands and accelerates exploration and production of oil and natural gas, and jumpstarts dramatic increases in nuclear power

Questions of the day:
What will be the carbon footprint for President Obama to fly to Copenhagen and back? Michelle flew over there a couple of days ago in her government jet? Is Oprah paying for that or are we the people? What is her carbon footprint? However, we should reduce our energy consumption.

Question du jour:
"But where says some is the King of America? I'll tell you Friend, he reigns above, and doth not make havoc of mankind like the Royal Brute of Britain...let it be brought forth placed on the divine law, the word of God; let a crown be placed thereon, by which the world may know, that so far as we approve of monarchy, that in America THE LAW IS KING."
Thomas Paine, Common Sense, 1776

The President who thinks he is a Candidate

Mr. Obama, please start acting Presidential. You have been on television almost everyday since your inauguration. Stop it, you acting like an actor, your job is President of the United States. That used to be the most important leadership role in the world until you downplayed it into a third world importance. You embarrassed the country with that lame U.N. speech. It is a travesty to have France criticize you to be more stern and resolute. The world's dictators are high fivin' and congratulating each other on how they finally got a wussy in the white house. In this time of crisis, we need a strong President. We don't need you to go to Copenhagen the hawk Chicago Olympics in 2016. Let Oprah go and buy the Olympics for us. She can afford it, and it can be a first step of you redistributing the wealth. Or is she "hands off." I could give a crap. Maybe try doing your job. You spend so much time giving speeches and appearing on television, you don't have time to make important decisions like Afghanistan, the economy, unemployment, Iran, those vitriol, angry mobs! I hope you've noticed that even your water carriers and state run media are turning on you. The healthcare proposals and amendments are more complicated than Chinese math! The public option is a goner. They couldn't agree on the sky is blue. I know, you'll leave Geitner, Gates and Gibbs in charge, (the 3G's) handling the important issues. Or maybe Biden (with a muzzle)or Pelosi with a tissue because she sees angry mobs resembling the violence of San Francisco in the late 1970's. I didn't know we were murderers Nancy? I thought we were exercising our constitutional 1st amendment rights? Wasn't it you who said you liked opposition and protest? I guess not when it is positioned against your party and you. Hey SanFranGranNan, how did that fundraiser go for you hosted by Steve Elmendorf, A lobbyist representing United Healthcare? Don't tell me you accept money from those "shock and awe," eeevvvvviiiillllll ginormous private insurance companies? Also, Chuck U. Schumer, receives $1.65M from the financial industry? Is there a conflict of interest with either of these grifters? Am I just being obtuse? Since I am a racist, xenophobe, right wing fascist, gun loving, God loving, average white male who works everyday and no one has given me anything that I didn't earn? I guess I don't fit the needy, wimpy, non-working loser, kool aid drinking, without ambition type individual that this administration caters to. But I digressed...

Barack Obama & Mayor Daley = Al Capone & Charley "Lucky" Luciano


Fools on the Hill:
Today, our gallant political leaders were debating the infamous "Public Option." Even the Democrats voted against this. I wish they realize this is not in America's best interest. Fix the existing system, do not reinvent the wheel. If they push through this bill without bipartisan support, they will pay dearly in the 2010 elections.

Globama, enough with the Globaloney!

Iran, Afghanistan, economy, unemployment and healthcare. Our President finds it imperative to go to Copenhagen, Denmark to promote Chicago for the 2016 Olympics! Is this what the President should be involving himself in? Can you say unbelievable! Sorry America, We voted in this rookie with a five minute career. I don't know where to start. The "we are the world" attitude with the United Nations shows very little promise with the world's most prominent dictators and rogue nations. I am sickened about the weak and ineffective speech President Obama gave in concert with Brown and Sarkozy. It's embarrassing to see Brown and Sarkozy sound stronger and much more forceful. Following the speech, Iran launches three missiles, Chavez has open dialogue with Russia concerning uranium, China and Russia will not assist with sanctions against Iran. General McChrystal has to bear the brunt of seeing his request for more boots on the ground tabled while Soldiers and Marines are being killed. I think it is unconscienable that the Commander in Chief can't decide on such a important matter and stick to his strategy from March 27, 2009. I think the rest of the world portrays Mr. Obama as a patsy. However, my main concern is terrorism. Five attempts foiled in the last month. It seems the the bad guys are feeling emboldened. If we had an attack, it would severely undermine our economy for some time. I do have incredible faith and respect for our law enforcements communities. They will do their jobs with perseverance and professionalism. The economy is still in the doldrums, unemployment was estimated at 52% for young people. The experts are saying it will be years before that gets better. The people with experience looking for work will fill the jobs that may come available. That stimulus bill has made miraculous improvements. Right? Unemployment wouldn't go above 8%? It is currently 9.6%. I believe we could very easily emerge from this economic recession. Let the free markets remain free. Keep the government out of their business. The markets would prosper if left alone. The administration creates and manufactures the financial crisis. This fits into their plan to take over America. The "health scare" reform is barely on life support. President Obama knows they don't need republican support to pass a bill, however, I know they only care about their careers and controlling power. If they pass the healthcare bill, (HR 3200)the republicans will gain numerous seats in the House and Senate in the 2010 election. That could be our saving grace. As I've said in the past, continue calling your representatives, attend the townhall meetings and the tea parties. We can take back America and our desired way of life.
