Have you noticed that suddenly President Obama has become aware that he has NOT made the people of America happy? There has been a deafening absence of his swagger in recent public performances. And, we have now seen him sweat.

Didn't the Democrats tell us that they had learned the lesson from the Republicans and they would have:

  • transparency
  • economy
  • jobs
  • no new taxes
  • Cap and Trade
  • and more...

I must have failed to notice the transparency when he kept things from us and made decisiions on our part while we were telling him that he was not on the right track. Arrogance, what a pill?

Economy is worse now than in HISTRY! And, while part of it is attributable to Bush, a couple of trillion dollars is not.

Jobs - He wasn't even close on his prediction

ObamaCare - This is so disgusting, I don't think he nor I want to talk about it. This must be repealed in its current form, NOW!

On Friday this week, suddenly the Democrats got onboard with extending the Bush Tax Credits

On Friday this week, suddenly, it was just not as important to get the Cap and Trade passed

President Obama, you have proven yourself a liar by event and design. You are not to be trusted, period. Please step down to save yourself embarrrassment!

Stop telling the American People what to eat, what to spend and what to do, when you can't even get a handle on Fannie and Freddie which were at the heart of the past three year debacle. It is OBVIOUS that you were somewhere else in Economics, so back down.

Stop Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the henchmen from further tarnishing your name.

Stop the crap over the IRS getting further into our lives.

President Obama, your presidency has been a joke and not a funny one. I, like almost every American, am not laughing. Take your family home quietly and enjoy what you did accomplish. Remember, that as an American, we are going to tear it all down and get back to business of growing our country.

Immigration is a subject where you have insulted so many of my friends and acquaintances over the past two years. You have done nothing here that makes one iiota of sense.

Haven't you done enough? This is not a Socialist Democracy nor is it a Socialist Country. You and yours have lost your fricking minds. The country you want is not the country that I fought for.

Go home, please!

Tyranny in our time, who would have thought?

Just yesterday, I was watching the tube and found myself fixated on the story about the woman who was "told" to pull over and give her resignation by Blackberry. I have faced strong issues and personalities inmy past and here I have to ask the question. "What kind of pressure must the White House brought to bear on this woman. Was she guilty? That isn't for me to decide, but we are all innocent until proven guilty in this country unless Obama, Obaba, whatever is President. I am sorry to feel this way...I am retired Navy and my family has faithfully served this country in wars going back to the "War of Northern Aggression!" as my family called it. Don't worry, my family fought on both sides of that war, some with the North because they believed in the Northern reasonings and others because the North had "run" over them in business. Carpetbaggers came before the war and, funny, they wore the same cut of suit and clothing.

Through it all, my family remained loyal. Yesterday, the President again broke with the faith of the people whom he serves. He allowed a woman to be hung out to dry without benefit of review. How absolutely sick is that?

This President is a confirmed liar:

Told us that ObamaCare would not increase the cost of healthcare in the U. S. (I told you that I believed that like I believe pigs can fly) Now, everyone in the Democrat Party are telling us that it is a new tax.

Told us that we would be able to keep our doctor. Now, the people he put in charge are telling us that it will be too expensive..

Told us that there would be no new taxes...nuff said...

Put the IRS in charge of insuring that all Americans are on some sort of health plan. It should have been our first clue that this wasa new tax.

Told us that he cares for this country and the people who live here. I no longer believe this based on the fact that he has singlehandedly moved us toward socialism more than any president in history.

So, with Harry Reid and Pelosi serving the Master Socialist, we should be moved away from freedom by the end of the November vote.

What's that? You say that you are going to vote, maybe the Tea Party and other groups may have the right idea. Wow! I am with you. We have to stop the tyranny before it gets worse.

My last thought, with everything that Obama, Reid and Pelosi have worked to put into action, this country will be a broke socialist country with no industry, no jobs unless you work for the state and I really don't want the IRS Gestapo in my living room, taking taxes, making sure that I went to the doctor and last insuring that I aid in the transfer of riches to those who didn't spend the time, their lives nor much else getting it.

Maybe you want to live there...me, nope, I think I will go fishing until it is time to vote and I will continue to speak out against the tyrannical leader Obama. Seig Obama! Not me, not now, not ever!

The Truth

E-mail Print PDF

There was a time when, as a child, I thought everything was being made more difficult than it had to be. Why couldn't people just work together, talk together and come up with a way to stay together as my parents? Why couldn't the people yelling on the TV screen simply get along?

As I grew up, I saw a lot of people that were really very good folks, and all other variations including not so good and bad.

I noted that people were only bad relative to other peoples ideals. That made me think that as people got older, they got crazier. I now know this to be true. But, one additional thing happens and it is a mixture of emotions. First, they complain about something they want changed. Someone tells them to get off their butts and go fix it. Finally, they get of their proverbial butts and enter the real world.

At the beginning, they are full of trepidation and they take advice easily. Then, they team with people and groups to get things done. But in the end, it almost always goes that the guy or gal with the good idea, who gets off their proverbial butts who change things and realize they have power.

Last thing to remember here, "Power corrupts and the more power you have in an arena where few fear to tread, the more the power will corrupts absolutely.

The Truth. Everything else costs too much.

Deficit Troubles?

So, you want to cut the deficit. Well, let's start with the following:

1. I understand that there are still unspent BILLIONS in the Bailout and Stimulus package

The Sage Owl and Healthcare

E-mail Print PDF

All the creatures in the forest were a dither. The old owl was sick again and that was for the second time in one year. No one could remember the old owl being sick, but twice in one year was cause for a village meeting. About the middle of the meeting when the pompous were being the most outrageous, the sage owl flew in.

"What is this all about?" "Well, Mr. Owl, we are worried about your health and want to put a package together to take care of you," the leader said with some pride.

"Whooo will pay for this package that will take such good care of me?" "Why, we will of course!"

"We will bring nuts and carrion to you when you are sick and take care of you, for you are the wisest of us all and without you we won't make it!"

"When you have given me this healthcare package, will you not find reasons for others to have the same?"

The pompous leader responded, "Sure, we will make sure that the most important have the best plans and the least among us will have plans according to their stature."

"Really, whoooo will decide the stature?" "You?"

"Well, of course, I am the leader, but I depend on your advice to lead the village."

"Who took care of me last year and the year before?" The room fell silent. "That's right, I took care of me with support from my friends."

"When you start to give healthcare to everyone, you find you have to parse it, well, just because..." "The cost of bringing me food, nuts and carrion takes away from your own productive day." Instead, let's get back to our freedom and when the members of our village need help they will tell us."

And, will you force everyone to have a package? And, why? Friends, I hope you can see how this can spin out of control. Be free, decide on what you need. Set up plans that are affordable and I will probably select a plan for myself. This life is about choice not about what YOU decide for ME! I was free when I flew in and I will be free when I fly out.

With that, the sage owl flew home!

Mr President, "Well, your priorities are still messed up!"

Dear Mr. President,

How dare you stare down the end of your nose at anyone trying to do anything with immigration when the Fed has been called upon for decades without anything happening!

Yes, it is an explosive issue, but you and your cronies are not the only people who have brains. Your diatribe about this event indicates that you think that the idea is ill-conceived. Really, where was your idea?

In your very own comments, you said,

I Don't Get It!

Other than the fact that apparently the former President Clinton can't pay for a dress to be cleaned, I am very aware of the fact that he repaired some of our funding problems through expeditious use of taxes.

What I didn't know was that he was and is a whiner. I watched the most recent interview with the guy and I have to say, "Mr. Clinton, shut the hell up!" "You are better than this!"

Why is it that when a Democrat bashes a Republican, an Independent or just anyone/group that disagrees with them, the bashed must be loons or terrible people that are not loyal to the United States? What is up with that?

I thought the whole reason for the Constitution was the ability to stand up for your beliefs, to be able to shout into the crowd and tell people what you think to be right or wrong. To be able to do MORE...

Perhaps it is true that there is a section of each of the parties that would like to shutup all naysayers. All who disagree with them! Who can say!

Andy Rooney; the MAN!

Right on, Andy Rooney !

Andy Rooney said on '60 Minutes' a few weeks back:

I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens. Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.

Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game.

I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, which is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING, MARTHA BURKE ?
I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is anopinion.

I have the right 'NOT' to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off.

When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling; it is the Law of Probability.

I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English!

My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours.

I think the police should have every right to shoot you if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word 'freeze' or 'stop' in English, see the above lines.

I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business.

We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document; and open to their interpretations.

I don't hate the rich; I don't pity the poor. I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television. That doesn't stop you from watching them.

I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better, and put your name on the building.

It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid and smack their little behinds when necessary, and say 'NO!'

I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home until that new lip ring heals. I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me French fries!

I am sick of 'Political Correctness.' I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa ; so how can they be 'African-Americans'? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was fromEurope.. I am proud to be from America and nowhere else.

And if you don't like my point of view, tough ....

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA , AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!

IMUS in the Morning; Pledge

Here at Imus in the Morning, we take our politicians' shortcomings very seriously. As such, we've come up with a list of ideals they should embody, or at least try to live down to. You know, like these freakshows pictured at left, who continually, and much to our delight, give new meaning to the word "lowlife."

  1. EMBRACE YOUR INNER WEASEL Exploit family members' terminal illnesses for their full PR potential. For example, employ them as justification for remaining in office though facing indictment for racketeering and money laundering. Don't be afraid to play "the cancer card."
  2. EMULATE YOUR HEROES Anything Mark Sanford, John Edwards or Bill Clinton did you can do better. Committing acts that most of your constituents would do if they could get by with them will produce headlines, late night laughs and lasting humiliation.
  3. MISQUOTE THE CONSTITUTION, THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AND THE BIBLE Promise to display your abject lack of knowledge or fundamental understanding of any or all of the aforementioned documents. Forgetting the words, in a public forum, to the Pledge of Allegiance, The National Anthem or The Lord's Prayer are worthy goals. Getting any of them mixed up with the other...even better.
  4. BE ADAMANT REGARDING YOUR RECOLLECTION OF HISTORY...YOURS AND THE PLANET'S You invented the Internet. Period. Make them prove you didn't. There was gunfire on the tarmac. You were there...you ought to know. How were you supposed to know all the members of your club were white? The photograph of you in the sheet and hood was a college prank.
  5. SHOOT FOR YOUTUBE Comments when you thought the mic was off are the best. Any other embarrassing unguarded moment that someone can photograph will work for you as well. Jokes that jeopardize your career, the next election, or your role in government, if recorded, are our favorites.
  6. AFFAIRS If you're going to be caught in bed with someone other than your spouse and you are a male (to paraphrase former Louisiana Governor, Edwin Edwards) make it a dead girl or a live boy. You know, something we can work with. Having an affair with someone of the same sex also works.
  7. HYPOCRISY Sanctimonious positions on immorality and ethics only work if you simultaneously engage in the very acts you're deploring. Newt Gingrich leading the charge to impeach Bill Clinton for his illicit affair while in the midst of one himself puts the former Speaker of the House in special company. Strive to join him.
  8. BE PHYSICAL Be fat. Wear a hideous hairpiece. Botox, plastic surgery...any noticeable tic or odd speech characteristic provides cheap jokes for us and best of all...they are at your expense. You know you're a loser...we'll make sure everyone else knows.
  9. MAINTAIN AN IMAGE OF A HUMBLE, DOWN HOME, MAIN STREET AMERICAN Be photographed in a hard hat, eating street food as Eyewitness News cameras catch you piling into the back of the limo with a four dollar latte.
  10. WHAT WOULD BILL & HILLARY DO? Friends and supporters are expendable. There's lots of room under the bus. Get even...publicly. As the country song goes..."Jesus may love you, but I don't...God may forgive you but I won't."
