Bob Baker

Bob Baker enjoyed the military, retiring in 1993 in favor of going into business for himself. He was successful in so many ventures and adventures. He travelled extensively and loves doing EVERYTHING.

A few of the things he enjoys include:

writing, running, biking, engineering, speaking, walking, Harley (Oh yeah), designing websites, telling stories, writing & playing music, climbing, consulting, building businesses, French & Spanish Language, sailing, flying, swimming, scuba, Cooking...You know... Everything...

He has jumped out of "perfectly good airplanes" and rappelled off cliffs too high to remember. Driven in 1/4 mile dirt track and sang on stage in front of folks. Best compliment came from a retiree in Hawaii when singing in a karaoke bar on Oahu. So many things to do and so little time...

Pride Goeth before a FALL!

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 This must be repealed in its current form, NOW!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!
