Christmas HO! HO! HO! IF THINGS DON'T CHANGE. NO, NO, NO

        

  Teach your children to be grateful for what they have and  receive every day and to be very thankful for any gifts they  may receive for Christmas.  Teach your children Christmas is not all about getting gifts or "stuff."

          There is grumbling  up North.( North Pole)  I was sent a warning of what Christmas could be in the future if we're not grateful for what we have and thrilled to the bone for anything we receive as a Christmas gift.

One other thing from my source up North:

                                                             This "list" business has gotten way out of hand.    

                                                             Kids today makes Christmas lists and expect to

                                                             receive each and every item. Well, it's about   

                                                             time the kids realize they can't always get what 

                                                             they want and somethings are just too expensive! 

         This country would be a lot better off  if adults (Parents, Congress and the White House) figured out they can't always  get or afford exactly what they want when they want it.  There wouldn't be as many people in houses that they can't afford. This explains why the Elf named, "Credit,"  is laying low.............................

PLEASE LISTEN BELOW TO THE SOURCE FROM UP NORTH, 

                                                                                             

                              THIS IS A WARNING.....

By-Stander in the White House..Way In Over His Head

Too late to cry now..... you are in way over your head

                                                               It's Not So Much Fun Now 



          We now have a by-stander in the White House! The latest  word from the White House on the debt and economy concerning the Super Committee is sad. The President recently said  he was pretty sure the committee wasn't going to get anything done so he didn't get involved. Oh great, the President, the man who was going to lead the country, the man who got enough people to believe he knew enough to  run the country, (at least that is what someone wanted you to believe), is taking a pass when it comes to issues he feels are too hard.
          A good thing or a bad thing? Well, if you actually expected the President to help the country it could be  a bad thing. A good thing if you look at the  President's record to this point in trying to "help" the country. One might say, we would all be better off if the President had  just stood by and done nothing. Sort of like voting present as he did many, many times while in the senate. 

         I personally believe there were many reasons Obama was elected President, few of those reasons had  much to do about his ability to lead. A number of voters figure, if a guy has gotten as far as actually running for President he has the knowledge to become President, especially if he is in the same party! 


         No offense to the President, personally, but I was encouraged to hear the President's rating have dropped to the lowest of any other President, at this point in his term. There is a glimmer of hope after all. 
       
         I mean no disrespect to the man, I believe he got way in over his head. It amazes me exactly how a person with his past record* became President of the United States of America.

* By "record" I am not referring to any criminal activity. 

Big F'n Deal Mr. Vice President

                                                                         VP, Joe Biden







Does it make you a little uncomfortable knowing the Vice President is in Baghdad talking to other world leaders?

The Vice President is representing the United States of America and President Obama, which in itself is scary, in Baghdad, discussing the drawdown of the US troops. Of course who really knows what he is actually saying? Remember, this is the same Joe Biden who, on the day President Obama signed the health care overhaul into law, made a blooper of historic proportions. When the Vice President introduced President Obama, he leans into the President and whispers, not so quietly, into his ear........................................



"This is a big ("Fn") deal"!

OOOPs!















He said such things as:





"J-O-B-S is a three letter word."





"Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me."





"Stand up, Chuck, let 'em see ya." (speaking to Missouri state senator Chuck Graham was in a wheelchair.)





The Vice President gets his historical facts screwed up, claiming President Roosevelt went on TV in 1929 to talk about the stock market crash, despite the fact Roosevelt wasn't President and TV's were only experimental.





But hey, what are few screw ups among friends or world leaders?







These are but a few examples that should scare you knowing the Vice President is talking to other world leaders while representing the United States of America.





I believe it is way past time for a change in leadership or lack of, in the White House. If you agree, please remember these things before the 2012 election and don't be afraid to let your feelings be known.

Vote to Untangle the Tangled Mess

I don't care who you voted for in the last Presidential election, that's over. It's time to focus on the upcoming election, ask yourself and answer yourself, honestly, what positive things has the current President done for you, your family and your future family? What has he done for this country? I didn't say what has he done "to" this country but "for" this country.



I dare say there are lots of people receiving some kind of government aid, food stamps, welfare, grants, assistance for this or that, unemployment benefits, over and beyond what you have paid in the system. Just so it is clear, when I speak of government aid I am not talking to seniors who worked all of their lives and paid into the social security system, they were told, would take care of them when they retired. (A system they were forced to pay into and would have been fine today if the government had left the money alone and used it only for the purpose it was collected .) Nor am I speaking to people who are truly disabled. I am, however, also speaking to over paid under working government employees and a lot of politicians, who fall into the previous category.



All the people getting aid, you had better think hard about who you want as your President, when the money is gone it's gone...talk about class warfare, you are going to see class warfare like you have never envisioned. You won't be on the winning side.

Everyone had better vote smart this time! By that I mean, don't vote to try to undo past wrongs. Don't vote to keep your undeserved, unpaid for,  freebies. Vote for the person that will get us out of the horrible mess the current President and the economy has entangled our country.

What now? Newt Beat His Mom!!!

                                                      Sad but true!

No, not that Newt beat his mother, he didn't however, "the powers that be" have successfully caused Herman Cain's slump in the polls. Now that Newt has risen to the top it's time for "the powers that be" to start spreading something about Newt. Beating his mother might work, I can see it now, an unnamed source close to the campaign said Newt beat his mother and could have....... Of course the source will be unnamed, at least at the beginning and you know the rest of the story!

It is not a bad thing that Newt has risen to the top, as a matter of fact Newt would make a great President he is a very smart person. I dare say, much smarter than the current sitting President with loads more experience and an understanding of how government works and doesn't work. The former Speaker of the House has actual ideas of how and what to do to help this country internally and help bring the United States' standing back with the rest of the world. We can thank the current President for making the U.S. look like a second rate country with nothing to be proud of and all kinds of reasons to apologise.

I am interestrest in finding out who is/are "the powers that be".

What are your ideas on, "the powers that be"?

She said, He did, now she says, she might not want to say. Or so someone said!

     The latest on the Herman Cain story;  one of Mr. Cain's accusers  is changing her tune about her willingness to speak out about sexual harassment allegations she made  back in the 90's. Somebody, who knew somebody, who knows somebody close to the Cain situation said recently no decision has been made about asking the NRA to release an unnamed person from a confidentiality agreement she signed.
            Joel Bennett an attorney for an unnamed Herman Cain accuser said his client asked him to stop talking to the news media, Mr Bennett told this to a news media reporter.

On Wednesday Bennett said," I stand by everything I said" after talking to several news media outlets.
 This entire story sounds like a He said, she said,  an unnamed source said, not to say, I said!

Obama avoids congress, deems the new student loan program so!

"The ONE"

                    

                                                 
          The new Obama student loan program will be done...  President  Obama Wednesday  reached out to young voters in a key swing state. On his second campaign visit to the Rocky Mountain electoral battleground of Colorado in a month,the President said,"We want you in school. But we shouldn't saddle you with debt when you're starting off," referring to the high fees,  many US students face on the way to a degree.

          Obama's plan, to be enacted by executive order, will mean payments would go down for 1.6 million Americans who are stuck with student loan debt. WHAT THE PRESIDENT, IN HIS INFINITE WISDOM, FAILED TO MENTION WAS...after all is said and done the average student's monthly payment will fall by, ( hold on to your hat) between $4 and $8 and maybe as much as $10 in some cases.The President did say,"These changes will make a difference for millions of Americans. It will save you money.( failing to mention just how much of a saving) It will help more young people figure out how to afford college. It can put more money in your pocket once you graduate," he said.

          The plan was among a series of initiatives that Obama unveiled during a three day campaign trip to California, Nevada and Colorado using his executive powers, thus under minding the way America's government  operates.

          There is no doubt young voters will be especially crucial to Obama's re-election hopes in Colorado, a swing state where he fired up young, first time voters in 2008 on his way to the White House.

          By coincidence, Obama was in Denver exactly three years ago to the day, in days before his presidential election victory, talking to a massive crowd of more than 100,000 people, many of them young voters. However back then he didn't tell the young first time voters he would do what other President had not done by working around the system and the way the government has worked since the country's founding.  This President must believe he knows more than all the Presidents before him. I would dare to remind the President and those who will be voting in the next election, first time or not, America's government is not a One man rule government.

           It' doubtful this is the change many  voters had in mind when the present President promised Hope and Change.

          It's  clear to see the savings the President wants young people and  parents to imagine  are far more than what the end results will actually be. The President didn't say just what these "GREAT" saving would cost to implement.

If He Says It's So, It's So!

                                       

                                                        God Bless/Help The USA

Campaigning, President Barack Obama on Friday declared an end to the Iraq war one of the longest and most divisive conflicts in U.S. history. He is President and in his mind what he says is true.  Announcing  to the world that all American troops will be coming home by year's end thus putting  an end to the war, no matter if the job is done or not.

Instead, of stating everything has been taken care of, the campaigning  Obama spoke of a promise kept, a new day for a self-reliant Iraq and a focus on building up the economy at home.

"I can report that, as promised, the rest of our troops in Iraq will come home by the end of the year," Obama said. "After nearly nine years, America's war in Iraq will be over", because he said so.

Obama spoke after a private video conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, and he offered assurances that the two leaders agreed on the decision, just like the assurances he gave the American people about the first "job's bill about all those shovel ready jobs.

Obama, an opponent of the war from the start, took office and accelerated the end of the conflict. In August 2010, he declared the U.S. combat mission over.

"Over the next two months tens of thousands of our troops in Iraq will ready themselves  for the journey home," Obama said. "The last American soldier will cross the border out of Iraq with their heads held high, proud of their success and knowing that the American people stand united in our support for our troops." He didn't mention if there would be any civilians jobs for these braves troops when they returned home.

 I am confident  it is not  a good thing to let everyone know exactly when your are going to leave a conflict.  However it is a good thing when you are trying to get re-elected and can use it as a promise fulfilled.

 Lets bring this situation down to a kids level and explain it. You have three kids, one is being attacked by  a bully,  a third kids who is the biggest comes over to the small kids yard and helps him beat up the bully. As the bully is laying on the ground the biggest kid says I have to leave at 4:45.

Not being an idiot, the  bully backs off knowing full well after about 4:50 he can come back and smack the  "you know what" out of the small kid because he knows exactly when the big kid is going home.

 If the big kid had said, I am not sure when or if I have to go home, the bully would have high tailed it out of there and probably stopped bugging the little kid.

Why tell the bully and the rest of the world your plans?

Virginia, you didn't, did you?

                                                 
President Obama made a clean get away after his tour/campaign stops  through North Caroline, all be it, to much smaller crowds.( This may be a sign of his chances of taking NC next year's election.) He didn't fare as well in VA,  a truck carrying the president’s teleprompter, podiums, and audio equipment was stolen in Virginia, WWBT-TV reports.

The Department of Defense confirmed the theft, but it’s unclear if the thieves targeted the vehicle for what it contained or simply got “lucky.”The truck was parked at the Virginia Center Commons Courtyard Marriott in advance on Wednesday’s presidential visit to Chesterfield.

Sources  said the vehicle had about $200,000 worth of sound equipment, several podiums and presidential seals, behind which only the President himself can stand.
They told NBC12 around 12:30 Monday afternoon that truck was recovered in the parking lot of the Holiday Inn Express near the airport and hotel staff confirm police activity.  One guest of the Hotel said he saw various law enforcement agencies examining a white box truck parked there.

Still, even though the truck was recovered it’s unclear from reports if any of the equipment was removed from the vehicle or if it was just missing temporarily.
“No classified or sensitive information was in the vehicle,” a Defense Information Systems Agency spokesperson told WWBT. “We take incidents such as this very seriously and a formal investigation is continuing.”
Seems the President might not be feeling as much, "love" as he has enjoyed in the past. Maybe, "the people" have their eyes wide open,  of course it could be a complete coincidence and the thieves had no idea what they had snatched.

 As far as we know the $1.1 million, taxpayer funded, super bus is still in the hands and under the control of the government. Even though citizens may feel as though they are being robbed when taxpayer money is being used for "campaign bus" by the President.

North Caroline Won't Get Duped Again...?

       Diverting attention from his poor job  performance  the President,  in North Caroline, knocked  Republicans while trying very hard to get re-elected. President Obama on Monday used tax payer money to make a campaign stop and acted like he was trying to push a jobs package, he knows is dead.  Senate Democrats planned action on what looks like a plan to help the president cover up his campaigning and make it look like a plan to hire more state worker, "or so it seems."  In campaign mode on the road, Obama accused Republicans senators of saying no to helping Americans when he knows members of his own party are also against the plan.

With the President's plan for one big bill now dead, the Senate began moving to take up parts of it. Yet given that the Senate is likely to spend the week with an overdue spending bills then taking a vacation who know when they might get to the pieces parts bills.

Senate  Leader Harry Reid planned to announce on Monday that the chamber would move first on the aid to states. Obama, campaigning through the politically crucial states of North Carolina and Virginia, acted as if he was making a coordinated push for the  "pieces part" bill and mocked Republicans for forcing a piece-by-piece approach to his jobs legislation. He left out the fact there were democrats against his, "all or nothing" plan.

 We can all thank Republicans in the Senate for rejecting consideration of his whole $447 billion plan last week.

"Maybe they just couldn't understand the whole thing at once, so we're going to break it up into bite-size pieces," a smart aleck  Obama said from his first campaign stop in Western North Carolina before getting on his $1.1million taxpayer funded black-tinted bus and heading  across the state.

Obama is trying to get  voters to fall for a $35 billion scheme or bribe  to "aid to states," one slice of his overall bill. White House spokesman Jay Carney said the White House anticipated action "very soon." What kind of action is unclear,  now voters know the President is trying to get re elected. All Americans know what he promised the last time he was trying to get elected.North Caroline voters aren't stupid  and hopefully won't get duped.

The, so called, state aid package has a dim future on Capitol Hill.

It is a non-starter in the House and most likely will  face a filibuster in the Senate. Last year, when Senate Democrats controlled 59 votes, 3 moderate Republicans  voted with Democrats to pass a $26 billion state aid package. But with their numbers down to 53, Democrats appear stuck and Americans could be spared.

In western, N.C. a supportive crowd  broke into a chant of "four more years". The president in response said: "I appreciate the four more years, but right now I'm thinking about the next thirteen months."It seems clear" to many Americans  4 more years  and 13 months is what he is after. Too bad he didn't stay in Washington, saving the American people millions of dollars. On second thought, the country might be better off if  he stays away from Washington.

Can you say, "We, the American People, Got Scammed"

                       I bet, not with my money,these guys will do something good.

          The FBI  is investigating  the "Solyndra Affair"," the solar panel company that got a $535 million government-backed loan with the help of the Obama White House over the objections of federal budget analysts."
          Remember when President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden got a nice photo op. They got to make speeches about being "green."  Trouble with that deal was, Solyndra went bankrupt, Americans lost jobs, Taxpayers got stuck with the bill to the tune of half a billion  dollars. I guess that was part of the "Hope and Change" the President promised? 
          In the president's defense, he did say, (after the fact), that was one bet he made that didn't turn out the way he had hoped.....(There is that "HOPE" thing again)  I don't remember him saying 
anything about "betting" in any of his speeches. By the way, he is betting with our money, not his own?
           Surprise, surprise, the U.S. Department of Energy employee who helped monitor the Solyndra loan guarantee was one of Obama's top fundraisers.   
         Sounds like  good old Chicago politics to me..........
         Remember,  when Washington picks winners and losers no matter what happens the  taxpayer is always the loser.
           I ask you, is this the guy that was going to set things right DC with all the hope and  change?  After he is gone, I hope there is some change left in the the country's bank account, to buy the next president a cup coffee.  I sure hope next time the American people do a better job of picking a President. 

Idiot, Evil, Incompetent or Well Planned?

Idiot, Evil, Incompetent or Well Planned?

Does he have any idea what he is doing?

Is this man an idiot?  (A question, not an accusation.) To be honest, I as well as many Americans am not sure what to believe. It's hard to believe or I don't want to believe he is evil, on the other hand it's hard to believe any person, at this level could be  as dumb as he seems. 

Example 1:

              The Obama Energy Department announced  that it has finalized a $737 million, yes, $737 MILLION loan guarantee for a Nevada solar project.

This qustionable decision comes weeks after a California-based solar manufacturer that received a $535 million loan guarantee from the Obama administration in 2009 filed for bankruptcy and laid off 1,100 workers.

"The $737 million loan guarantee will help finance construction of the Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project, a 110-megawatt solar-power-generating facility in Nye County, Nev. The project is sponsored by Tonopah Solar, a subsidiary of California-based SolarReserve."

“The Energy Department says the project will result in 600 construction jobs and 45 permanent jobs.”*** $737 million divided by 45 = $16.37 million per job.

"Crescent Dunes is the latest solar project to receive a loan guarantee from the Energy Department in recent weeks. The department announced a $1.2 billion loan guarantee to Abengoa Solar for a solar generation project in California and a $150 million loan guarantee to 1366 Technologies for a Massachusetts solar manufacturing project earlier this month."

  

 $535Million  plus  $737Million  plus  $1.2Billion  plus  $150Million =  I  ask again, is this man an idiot, evil or what?

Example 2:

After tripling the US deficit in a year, increasing the federal budget by a trillion dollars in a little over 3 years, adding $4 trillion to the national debt in two-and-a-half years and overseeing the first downgrade of the American economy in a century, our failed president  lectured Europe on fiscal responsibility this week.

What is this man doing and why do we let him get by with it???? We all need to take a long hard look at his record before we vote. Unlike last time the people  have a record of what he has done to this country. It 's getting hard for any media outlet to put a good face on his record.........

Before you vote,  ask yourself, is this the change I was looking/voting for in the last election?

 *** Figures don't account for the 600 temp jobs but who cares anyway, jobs are jobs right?

  I don't have a calculator with enough space to figure how much money this administration has "dissed"  away. One has to wonder if the results are going as planned???

Do We Really Know the President?

Make your own decision

Decide if all or part of this story is true

But whatever you do  think about it before you vote in 2012:

Libertarian author, radio personality and politician Wayne Allyn Root had this  published in the Las Vegas Review-Journal on June 6, 2010.

"Barack Hussein Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent.  To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing.  He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure,
economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.Barack Hussin Obama was my college classmate."
(((They were not roommates but attended the college at the same time)))

                                                    

(****The reasons for the President's actions, to me, are unclear, does he thinks he has a better system of government ? Does he think he is smarter than the founding fathers?****)

                                                               

         

 Do not be fooled.  "Look at his Czars...anti-business. .anti-American.

As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Barack Hussein Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University .

They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands.  Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming.

Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government.  Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.

Universal health care. The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions).  Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt.  What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government.  Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?

Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming.  It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control
of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors.  Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants.  They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power.  The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around.

Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state?  Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Barack Hussein Obama's plan all along.  His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government. 

Legalize 12 million illegal Mexican immigrants.  Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America .  But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children,  food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security.

Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go?  It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country.  It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues.  It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions).  A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues).  All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America .  The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful.  The ends justify the means.

Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama).  Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Barack Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition. With the acts outlined above, Barack Hussein Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.

Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme -- all devised by my Columbia University college classmate Barack Hussein Obama using the Cloward and Piven Plan."

                              

         **** I can't say, because I don't know him, exactly what he is up to. Something is not right, things have not been getting better and  some of the things his classmate says sure ring true.

Everyone has their opinion and that is what makes this country great, lets keep it that way. Be smart and when you hear the President telling the people, this time he has the solution and the solution is more of what didn't work last time, be CAREFUL, very careful.

Thank you for reading the blog. I would like to know what you think, it doesn't matter if you voted for the president or not.****

Thank you.
