Obama's neck veins at GOP Retreat

President Obama had it wrong when he was addressing the Republicans on Jan 29, 2010 at the GOP Retreat when talking about Health Care. He accused the Republicans of telling their constituents the health care bill was bad. Actually it was the people in the trenches who looked at the bill, first the House bill and then what they could of the Senate bill and complained about the contents to their Congressmen. Of course, the transparency was not there so we could not see the Senate version as much as the House version.

Obama still leaves the populace, you and me, out of the mix. He still underestimates the "astro turf". Although MSNBC thinks the President was magnificent at the GOP Retreat, in reality he was grasping for straws and gasping for air.

I have heard from a person in management position that you, "make a decision from your gut and don't second guess yourself because your gut reaction is usually the best". In this person's case their gut reaction is usually the wrong one but they will not change because they are just not as smart as the teacher who taught them. Could this be Obama's (and a great many politician's) problem? Are both the Democrats and Republicans too stuck up to say they were wrong?

When Obama said ""We gotta close the gap between rhetoric and reality", he was right but he needs to take that single finger pointing out and realize that there are three fingers pointing back at him.

Obama, not the States(man of the Union, 2010

I did watch the State of the Union address and didn't fall asleep like some in the audience. I will leave the pundits to discuss the pros and cons of what he actually said. I don't want to bore you you with my viewpoints but I do want to address one aspect of the speech, the delivery and what that showed.

The person giving the State of the Union speech is the President of the United States. There is a certain decorum that goes with the most powerful office in the world. The President did not live up to the office. There are three branches of the government to give checks and balances. Obama used to be a senator but he has now moved over to another branch and can not be "one of the boys" as he tried to be. The numerous moments of humor were not acceptable.

He showed weakness not strength.

The president is the President.

• When he addresses the House, Senate, Supreme Court, military and the world he should be a statesman not one of the boys.
  
• When he stands up as a guest in the Congressional chambers he cannot scold the Judges of the Supreme Court to their embarrassment and his wrong.
• When the President gives the State of the Union address he must be strong not scattered.
  

Obama showed his lack of class and the continuation of the Chicago type of politics.

Obama showed that he is still the president with a small p and hasn't earned the honor of the capital President.

Do the Math

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger came up with an interesting way to help California's budget crisis. California has a $19.9 billion deficit so this is good news or is it?
Arnold wants to house 20,000 illegal immigrants in prisons built in Mexico and have Mexican guards watch them. Sounds good so far. Mexicans for the Mexicans. That is where his logic fails.
He says this will save 1 billion dollars. Fantastic. Finally a politician really saving money by thinking outside the box or outside the borders in this case. The he comes up with the statement that all politicians seem to trip on.
"We could save a billion dollars right there that could go into higher education."
Now I have nothing against higher education. I spent seven wonderful years there but I did pass first grade math. If you start with a negative $19.9 billion and save 1 billion you don't have that billion to spend, you are just $18.9 billion in the hole instead of $19.9 billion.
Duh!

It's a great day in America

Notre Dame for Money and Fame.

All good Catholics should unite and demand that the president who calls this country a "not" Christian country not be able to speak at your institution. Fame isn't all it's cracked up to be and the ivy on your halls is cracking the rock foundations on which you stand. A president that is so pro abortion. A president who would take away your freedoms to educate if you taught the Bible as fact. This would be hate speech because it would not allow for his Moslem friends.

Put the mortar back in the walls and dis-invite President Barack Hussein Obama.

Shame on you Georgetown.

You covered the monogram of Christ at the request of the White house. The "IHS". You sold out your first love for fame.
Then again, thank you for covering up the insignia so the symbol of Christ will not be profaned by appearing over the "anointed one". That would really be a sacrilege.

I am a Right Wing Extremest.

I never thought I would have the ability to be an extremest but according to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and a new report prepared by the "Extremism and Radicalization Branch, Homeland Environment Threat Analysis Division and coordinated with the FBI."

To get this report go to here or here. Reading is disbelieving. This is really dangerous crap by the Barack Hussein Obama administration.

In the report issued today by Ms Napolitano for the Obama administration the is summarized in the following statement.
"Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration."

• I am opposed to abortion.

• I am opposed to illegal immigration.

• I favor the Constitutional concept of State rights.

• I support our Veterans.

• I have a rifle. (For shooting targets at the range, in case you read this)

• I have no problem with a president of color. (It's his policies that I disagree with).

I shall be quoting from a document entitled "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment" even though there is a warning about its release.

-LAW ENFORCEMENT INFORMATION NOTICE: This product contains Law Enforcement Sensitive (LES) information. No portion of the LES information should be released to the media, the general public, or over non-secure Internet servers. Release of this information could adversely affect or jeopardize investigative activities.

It would appear that the Dept. of Homeland Security thinks that because I am opposed to abortion that I am a RWE (Right Wing Extremest).
Because I am opposed to illegal immigration I am a RWE.
Because...well you can see where I am going with this.
I thank God that I am not a Veteran because they are maligned and profiled just because they are veterans. As far as I am concerned you have my deepest thanks and respect.

The report is nine pages of lies, misinformation and facts compiled from over two decades of anecdotal evidence to support a preconceived notion that has the truth of fairy tales.
If I were to write a position paper like this it would be thrown in the trash on the first reading.
Even Rep. Bennie G. Thompson of Mississippi, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said in a letter to DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano that he was "dumbfounded" such a report would be issued.

Finally a bi-partisan feeling in Congress!!

I will leave you to read it on your own. If this continues then our beloved country has been sold out from under neath us. Be careful who is watching. Is this another Janet Reno of Waco fame?

I am new to blogging and haven't developed the analysis tools yet.
