You have got to see this, ( Click on the link) US Mint Spending Millions to Produce $1 Coins That Nobody Wants the US government is wasting millions of dollars, yes, millions of dollars making coins:
a) Nobody, (for the most part) wants
b) Most people don't even know exist
c) We don't need
d) We are going to spend hundreds of thousands of
dollars to build a storage facility.
e) It's going to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to ship
them to storage.
f) Are being produced right now, ( they are being
made, bagged, boxed and stored.)
Is anyone sane in this government?
SOMEBODY, PLEASE, GO TO WASHINGTON AND STOP THIS MADNESS.
Better yet, PEOPLE, please elect a president next year that is, at the very least, sane and has a touch, of business sense.(Maybe more common sense also)

Guidance and Direction... from the State?
Irene swept up the east coast this past weekend and although damage may not have been as great as had been expected, ... there was damage and lots of damage. Power outages are still affecting millions of people as well as the aftermath of flooding, high winds and downed trees. Parts of the Outer Banks of NC are now cut off as the water split the main road and formed a new water way to the back bay.
The President of the United States spoke to the people, especially those who had been adversely affected. The president told those in the wake of Irene, to get outside, when it is safe to do so, and help each other in this time of need. Check on your neighbors, come together and start to rebuild, first, your spirit, then your homes and lives. The government disaster teams are on their way to help you. OH NO, WAIT... HE WOULDN'T SAY ANYTHING LIKE THAT.....!!!!!! This is the Obama - Government Can Fix Everything - Administration. He said" I urge Americans in affected areas to continue to listen for the guidance and direction of their state... ."
Americans are "can do" people. Americans, able to take care of themselves, do so and, if possible, help those who can't. I guess, it struck me the wrong way when I heard the president of the United States of America telling people to take guidance and direction from "the state." ( It's this mind set that worries many people in this country)
I am pretty sure he meant well, but he should know by now, "the State" isn't what makes this country GREAT, it's the PEOPLE!
( I am not implying there is anything wrong or evil with the help coming from State workers or aid in the form of $'s.)
We all need to remember, the power comes from the people not the government.

Free Speech or Censorship, Something Fishy Is Going On.
A “free-speech” trick is coming from the Obama Administration. The Federal Communications Commission announced they were doing away with the “Fairness” Doctrine. This federal doctrine of the 40'S was to ensure the broadcasters gave equal time to differing political opinions. However, the so called Fairness Doctrine was a back handed Censorship doctrine.
Don't be fooled, the FCC is implementing a set of "rules " to "serve the public interest"( wink wink). These rules are being set up before doing away with the doctrine. These rules of "localism," "media diversity" and requirements for stations to "serve the public interest" give the FCC the power to limit speech they don't agree with or like.
These rules give unelected and unaccountable people at the FCC the power to regulate how much air time broadcaster must devote to "local issues" thus limiting the amount of air time aka programs listeners want.
The Diviersity rule could deny the right of station owners to renew their licenses solely on racial grounds.
American of the past didn't give their lives so the 1st amendment could be stepped on by government employees of the FCC . These rules and regulations are a back handed way for the federal government to control what people hear.
It seems censorship, control of the air waves, the end of free speech and certain radio talk shows by the government isn't as far away as one might believe.

We All Need to Follow the President's Lead in Budget Cutting
$35,00.00 to $40,000.00 A Week for the President's Vacation House!!!!!!!!!!!!
Leaving Air Force-1, 2010 Martha's Vineyard Vacation
About $35,000.00 to $40,000.00 should cover the cost of the rental house the President and his family will be using for a week of R&R. All American's will feel better knowing the Obamas will be paying their share of the vacation home and the taxpayers will be paying for the White House staff's and all of the security people's portion, just like we did last year!!!!
I do wonder, who is paying for the fuel cost to get the Obamas and the White House staff, all the Security people and vehicles to Martha's Vineyard. How many gallons of jet fuel and gasoline and at what cost?? What will this, well needed, vacation cost the American taxpayer?
I dare say, it will be more than a very large number of families make in a year.......
They are cutting cost in Washington, sure they are, if you don't believe it just ask the President.

Is this your HOPE and CHANGE Mr. President?
Is this your HOPE and CHANGE Mr. President?
The White House is out in force blaming the Tea Party and the credit rating agency for your failure as a President. Fact of the matter is you should have listened to the, so-called, Tea Party and cut more and BS's less. The credit rating folks told you how much you had to cut in order for them not to down grade the credit rating of the United States. You got a deal reducing the amount of cuts, much more than most Tea Party folks wanted and guess what? The United States of America, for the first time in history, under your watch had it's credit rating reduced. Is this the hope and or change you promised?
I hope you are ashamed of your poor leadership, your inability to come up with any type of plan on your own and the distasteful way your party is trying to blame others. Oh, I hate to "pile on" but don't forget, not too long ago, you and your party had the White House, the Senate and the House and couldn't or wouldn't even pass a budget. Who do wish to blame for that one? Please tell me, better yet, tell all of the Americans especially those who elected you.
Mr. President I firmly believe this isn't the hope nor the change those that voted for you were expecting. Perhaps this is some of the change those that didn't vote for you were fearing.
I sure "hope" the race issue is over for you Mr. President, you have been President for a couple of years and I can tell you this has nothing to due with race. No sir, this has nothing to do with race, it does however have a great deal to do with color. Yes, color.... the color RED where the United States finds itself, in the red and you deserve a large part of the blame. Not all, by any means, but a very large part. You have driven this nation into more debt than almost all of the other Presidents combined. ( A fact, I wouldn't brag about, especially around re-election time. Maybe some of your not so friendly "friends " in the Tea Party will remind the nation when the time is right!)
I sure hope change for the better is coming soon!!!
