Keeping Track, Obama

Keeping Track, Obama

Overview: Barack Hussein Obama is keeping his word to his base to govern not from the left, but from the far left. Isn’t funny how the name Hussein was a liability prior to his election and now he wears it as a badge of honor especially when kissing up with the leaders of the Middle East.

Some of his accompolishment in the first 10 days.

1. Lifted the federal funding restriction for abortions performed in foreign countries. I wonder if the people of these countries, not the governments, will see this as a humanitarian act .

2. Signed executive order to close Guantanamo. Terrorists with no place to go.

3. The Obama administration has asked the military's Joint Chiefs of Staff to cut the Pentagon's budget request for the fiscal year 2010 by more than 10 percent -- about $55 billion. Interesting considering the countries high unemployment and the fact that he wants to move terrorists from Gitmo. Does he perfer people on the dole with obligation to vote Democrat?

4. Hillary Rodham Clinton became Secretary of State in spite of being married to an Impeached President who receives much of his income from leaders of foreign countries.

5. Timothy Geithner becomes Treasury Secretary in spite of being fined for not paying all of his own income tax and for hiring an illegal domestic.

6. Tom Daschle, is picked by Obama to reside over the nation's healthcare system, in spite of his own improper tax filings and unclaimed income and the fact that he received $220,000 in speaking fees from health care groups with an interest in the work he would do once confirmed as health chief, Politico.com reported Saturday.

7. Obama seeks a completely Democrat government by nominating Republican Sen. Judd Gregg of New Hampshire to become commerce secretary. Gregg's appointment to the post could give Obama and his Democratic Party another seat in the Senate, clearing the way for them to pass legislation without fear of a Republican filibuster. New Hampshire has a Democrat Govenor charged with selecting Gregg’s replacement.

8. President Obama said it was "the height of irresponsibility" for financial corporations to have doled out $18 billion in bonuses to their employees in a year when many banks shed jobs and turned to the government for funds. Even while Nancy Pelosi pushed Obama’s economic recovery plan, full of liberal crony pork, through the House without a single Republican vote.

9. Mr. Obama intends to adopt a tougher line toward Hamid Karzai, the Afghan president, as part of a new American approach to Afghanistan that will put more emphasis on waging war than on development. Jan. 27, 2009 This is not the right approach in a country where development will be the only way to win the war of the ignorant and uneducated.

10. The President today signed an executive order creating a Middle Class Task Force and asked his right hand man, Vice President Joe Biden, to lead it

11. Irritated Obama 'Stares Down' Reporter During Press Corps Visit when a reporter tried to quiz President Obama on Thursday about a lobbyist chosen for a top Defense Department job, the president quickly became agitated. Maybe not so cool after all.

Polling Point Question and My Answer

Why do you think young people are increasingly engaging in “adult” behaviors like sex and drinking? How big of a problem is this?

It is a great problem. Our children do not know how to care for themselves. They are bored, unchallenged, lack ambition and integrity. Young people should have to work for a higher education not to be given grants and loans. Young people should have to work from the age of 13 at an afternoon job or chores around the house. They need to be taught values and how to earn their life. What is given is of little value, what is earned is of great value.

What is ACORN?

Who is ACORN?

I first heard of ACORN during audits of lending policies and practices between two merged banks. I learned that ACORN was similar to CRA, (Community Re-investment Act), a Congress mandated regulation between banks and communities to re-invest profits back into the communities where the banks operated. It was to help good customers, living in depressed areas, obtain favorable loans to rehabilitate their homes and small businesses.

ACORN is described as: ACORN Housing provides mortgage loan counseling, first-time home buyer classes, and helps clients obtain affordable mortgages through unique lending partnerships. They even set up their own lending institution as a non-profit mortgage brokerage with CitiMortgage, Bank of America, First American Title Insurance Company, and Fannie Mae to help low- and moderate-income families find safe, affordable mortgages.

So when I heard about ACORN and voter fraud, I was a bit confused. Why would a mortgage broker be involved with voter registration? Remember no good deed goes unpunished. Of course this early example of wealth re-distribution would have a liberal foundation and why not take advantage of your benevolent presence in the community by signing up voters to support the party that took all the credit for these low-income programs? Yes, the Dems. What other party does more to take so much from the middle class and give so little to the poor and lazy?

Yes, ACORN now receives large sums of money from the taxpayers, thanks to O'bama, Pelosi, Franks, Reid, Dodd, etc, to operate bipartisan (Ha Ha, you mean democrat) voter registration organizations. They even tried to include this bunch of crooks in the $700 billion bailout until John McCain stood up for the House Republicans. Lord help this country when O'bama, Pelosi and Reid are in charge. And just think of the liberal judges they will appoint to the Supreme Court in 8 long years, or longer if you listen closely to what O'bama says.

How did Palin do?

How did Palin do? She was great on presentation and she held her own on content. However, you cannot expect a first term Governor to be able to throw out the well-orchestrated misleading inaccuracies of a 35-year Congressman like Joe Biden. She sounded fresh, home spun and honest. But to special interests and all the pseudo elite intellectuals she will remain ‘White Trash’.

I cannot see how John McCain will be able to pull this election off; given the level that greed has permeated into our culture. We the people are gladly accepting the blame of the Bush Administration and the Republicans in lieu of all the documented proof that it should be attributed to the mortgage welfare programs of Fannie, Freddie and Acorn supported by the Democrats. Palin nailed it when she said that we the people own a bit of the blame with our ... “Buy now pay later with imaginary equity money”.

We are headed for very hard times. Prepare yourselves for high unemployment, high inflation, and no money to fund economic, educational, or health care welfare.

Rice to meet with Muammar Gaddafi

With so much history happening right before our eyes, please do not miss this historic event: US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is in Libya to meet with Muammar Gaddafi. While our President Bush continues to take a beating on the Iraq military action, taken to protect US interests and free a suppressed people, we are now seeing unexpected results. Libya was once considered to one of the longest hostile relationships with the US, apart from Cuba and North Korea. This is an incredible turnaround.

Democracy

I never cease to be amazed by the rhetoric of a politician. They make so many promises that history has taught us that they either cannot or never intended to keep. But the masses still want to believe that they will deliver. Does anyone ever connect the dots to a road map on how the promises are to be accomplished, or what impact there will be if the promises are fulfilled?

Usually when you make a promise to one, it is at the cost of another. Such as, I am going to give you something you do not have, in hopes it will give you a better life and therefore make you a better person. However, I must take it from someone who worked hard for it, but then they are already a good person and I am sure they will just work a little harder. And when they do, I will have more resources for other under-achievers.

Does this sound like a plan that will get your vote?

Under-achievers: YES

Hard Workers: NO

The question is which group out numbers the other in a democracy.
