11 Days and counting...


11 Days and counting...
Barrack Obama has now been our President for 11 days and is already showing his true extreme left wing attitude and decision making.
First, the new Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner, that he nominated, seemed to think it was above him to have to pay taxes like the rest of us...for 4 years! Not only that but he and his buddy, Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY )( who also didn't pay taxes on an income property) apparently avoided paying any late fees or penalties. This is the guy that is going to be in charge of making you pay your taxes. If you have ever seen a Federal job application, it clearly states that if you owe the federal government money it could make you ineligible for a job. I guess that only means if you apply for a low level job, not a high-level Cabinet position.
Geithner is also the guy that is asking that a former lobbyist be hired as his aid. Hmmm... Isn't that what Mr. Obama said would not happen in his administration because he wanted to clean up corruption in Washington, D.C.
One of Mr. Obama's first acts as President was to sign the executive order to close the Gitmo detention center with in a year. I am OK with that decision, but shouldn't we actually have a plan in place for what to do with the detainees before we actually announce that Gitmo will be closing? I mean how many of you out there want these guys kept in your neighborhood? Former President Bush asked a few countries if they would take some of these people off our hands ( most notably Australia), and surprise!... No takers. Oh well, never fear, I am sure the new U. S. Attorney General Eric Holder, a man who assisted former President Clinton pardon terrorists ( of which he said he had no regrets in doing), will come up with a plan.
Now let's talk about bi-partisanship. President Obama promised a bi-partisanship approach to solving our current economic crisis. Apparently after asking a few Republican leaders over to discuss his plan, in a show of bi-partisanship, Obama and his Democrat cronies, reluctantly shaved the so-called "stimulus" bill from a mere $825 billion, to a minuscule $819 billion. Now as the Senate gets ready to debate the package, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and others are baffled about why all the Republicans and even 11 democrats voted against it in the House. Maybe it is because only about a third of the bill actually has a possibility of creating jobs most of which are in construction ( which is definitely needed) but a lot of it goes to other pork barrel spending, like the National Endowment for the Arts, std research, and of course Global warming research, no doubt brought on by the B-list Democrat all-star and all around hypocritical blow hard, AL Gore. Maybe a few politicians actually grew a brain and see the term "inflation" coming in a few years after the ink runs out on the Treasury's printing presses.
When we throw around amounts in the hundreds of billion dollars let's not forget that that is your money, my money, and all of our money, but hey, maybe we could just tax a billion or two from Oprah, then again does Oprah actually have to pay taxes?
Lastly, The illustrious Savior of our Nation promised transparency. In a show of transparency Obama walked through a stream of press for an unscheduled appearance. When asked a question about an aforementioned lobbyist being hired Mr. Obama quickly clammed up and shunned the reporter for daring to actually ask such a question of him. He is the President of the United States, what the hell does he expect!
In his second show of transparency he recently granted his first press interview, too bad it was with an Arab Network not one in the Good Ole USA. I am sure MSNBC's Kieth Olbermann and Rachel Maddow would be pissed that they weren't granted the interview... that is if they had the time to pull their collective heads out of his Posterior.



Wake up America...The star studded honeymoon with Obama needs to end!
He has yet to walk on water or change water into wine, or DO anything.


Tell me what you think, good/bad, love me /hate me!

About me

I am a Mid-west born and raised, red-blooded American who now lives in the liberal capital of the USA, California, Republic of. I am politically incorrect, love this country, and served in the US Army for 4 ½ years.
People reading my blog may thing I am a Bill O'Rielly loving , right wing, card carrying member of the Republican party but although I agree with the right a bit more than the left, I am not, " Stupid is as stupid does," and I believe both parties are a bunch of idiots and Political Parties are the biggest obstacle of our democracy today. Contrary to what you may believe, I do wish President Obama the best but I feel it is important to separate the man from the mythical creation that the media is making him out to be.
On the right, I do believe in the constitutional right of law-abiding citizens to own guns. I believe in Capitalism and have no interest in European Socialism. I agree that we have the right to protect our borders, our citizens, and our interests at home and abroad even if it sometimes angers other countries. I am a meat eater and think tofu belongs in a science fair and that vegetables are something that is served as a side dish. Yes, I believe illegal immigrants should be deported that is why they are called " illegal" , and changing the term to "undocumented immigrants" changes nothing! I hate the constant pouring on of political correctness and in order to fix a lot of problems in America we may have to throw out some of our awful " Try to please everyone all the time," attitude.
That being said I also agree with the left on some issues.
I believe in free speech, that's why I'm writing a blog, even if I have to hear people like Susan Saradon and Sean Penn whine about issues in order to make themselves feel important. I am not a religious person, although I think anyone should be able to pratice any religion they wish. On abortion I am pro choice, Government should not be able to interfere with a woman, or couples right to choose, besides Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt only adopt foreign children. I think Gay marriage should be legal, I am straight and as such no relationship, gay or lesbian, effects me in any way and I have no problems, or say in who people can or can't share their lives with.

So read my blog, send me your comments an or opinions, love me, hate me...bring it on!
