How is that Hope and Change thing working out for you?
When Barack Hussein Obama became President of the United States we were promised “Hope and Change”. Today we’re hoping that this change doesn’t kill us all and destroy the United States in the process.
Barack Hussein Obama was suppose to unite this nation, but in all truth and actuality, he and his presidency have done more to drive a wedge between the right and left, White and Black Americans and nations of the world than any other President before him.
Obama has usurped the Constitution with his appointments of many Czars, people that are, in fact, well paid, by the taxpayers, but they answer only to Obama himself. They are his personal and private political army.
Czars are presidential appointees who are not required to undergo Senate confirmations hearings. Can you think of any other definition for them other than ‘Obama’s personal and private army’?
Many of these Czars are highly controversial and polarizing individuals, think Van Jones.
Former Green-Jobs Czar Van Jones was called a Special Advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ). Jones is reported to be an avowed Communist and racist. He had been under fire for calling Republicans “assholes” in a video taped interview before he was tapped to head up Obama’s green jobs program.
Some of Obama’s Cabinet were known tax cheats.
Kathleen Sebelius said in a letter obtained by the Associated Press that she made “unintentional errors” on her taxes and has corrected her returns from three different years. SOURCE
Here’s the list of Hussein Obama’s Tax Cheat nominees (so far) in addition to Sebelius:
Tom Daschle, the first HHS nominee,
Chief performance officer nominee Nancy Killefer.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner,
US Trade Representative Ron Kirk
Labor Secretary Hilda Solis’s (husband) SOURCE
These are the kind of people Obama wants to work with, these are the folks that Obama has advising him on how to run the United States, people that have had serious issues with tax returns, tax law, tax mistakes, all of the above or some of the above, folks that use Turbo-Tax to prepare their taxes.
But it’s OK, they were honest mistakes, and the Dem/Libbers call us vile racists and other names because we disagree with these people. The Dem/Libbers tell us that we are supposed to accept the mistakes and apologies and then move on.
It doesn’t surprise me that when the shoe is on the other foot and a GOP person makes what they claims was a *mistake* and then offers up an apology and immediate restitution, in full, that Dem/Libbers show themselves to be the disgusting hypocrites that we know them to be when they refuse to accept that apology and restitution and just ‘move on’.
The Dem/Libbers want their *pound of flesh*.
Then we have the debacle known as ObamaCare thrust upon us. Socialized medicine at it’s very best. Death panels, the ones that the Dem/Libbers and Obama fan club say don’t exist? Well, they DO exist. ‘Real death panels’ set to face heat in Congress, courts.
There’s not a lot I can say about ObamaCare that hasn’t already been said, but this post sort of hits the *funny bone* with the way it lays out what has happened with this program so far. Obamacare: 2000 Pages and 1 Trillion Dollars to Help 8011 People?.
The Obama administration knows that America is highly dependent on fossil fuel, that is to say, OIL. So, what does Obama and Company do? The stop off shore deep drilling and place a moratorium on ALL drilling, all the while we continue to import foreign oil from Arab nations that ARE our enemies when we, the American people, are sitting on the largest pool of oil on this earth. U.S. Contains Enough Oil and Gas Reserves to Fuel Country for Decades, Petroleum Institute Says.
The Obama administration, like the Bush administration before it, seeks to force some sort of ‘amnesty program’ off on America thus allowing an estimated 20 million ILLEGAL individuals in this nation a *fast track* to instant American citizenship.
Amnesty for illegals is a slap in the face to ALL Americans, but particularly to those Americans that came here as LEGAL immigrants and went through the long and drawn out process of becoming an American citizen.
Then there is this little escapade; “Operation Fast and Furious”.
Operation Fast and Furious was the name of an illegal gun trafficking sting run by the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) between 2009 and 2010 as part of the Project Gunrunner. The stated purpose of the sting was to permit otherwise-suspected straw purchasers to complete the weapon’s purchase and transit to Mexico, in order to build a bigger case against Mexican criminal organizations who were suspected of being the ultimate buyer. The operation started in the fall of 2009 and ended in late 2010 shortly after the death of Brian Terry, a US Border Patrol Agent and has since become the subject of controversy and a U.S. congressional investigation. During the operation, at least 2,000 guns were released and tracked by ATF agents into Mexico, many of which have been linked to at least 150 shootings. Of the 2,000 guns knowingly released by ATF agents, only 600 have been recovered by officials. The remaining 1,400 guns have not been recovered and possibly remain in the hands of drug gangs. SOURCE
Fast and Furious, was an ILLEGAL operation conducted by agencies of our own government, an operation that caused the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian A. Terry when he was murdered by weapons missing from this Fast and Furious debacle.
There are investigations underway and many, myself included, feel that the blame for this Operation Fast and Furious reach all the way to the top of the DoJ and possibly into the Oval Office itself.
The latest debacle of the Obama administration, and in this case, Obama can’t be held responsible exclusively, is the budget crisis the United States is facing.
Granted, Obama did inherit a lot of responsibility for debt that was passed on by the Bush administration, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan specifically, but, by accepting the job of President, Obama assumed the responsibility for these wars, and he promised to end them; a promise that has yet to be fulfilled.
In any case, Barack Hussein Obama has offered nothing personally in an effort to settle the debt crisis, wars, budget issues or anything else that I can think of. So far, all Obama has done definitively is blame the Bush administration for HIS failures and spew a lot of hot air.
We are almost 3 years into the administration of Barack Hussein Obama; at what point in time does this become HIS responsibility? When does Obama become a leader and not merely an office holder that can only ‘pass the blame’? When does Obama become something other than a paid vacationer and gallivanting, gadabout globe trotter at the expense of the American tax payer?
When do We, The People put an end to this nonsense and hold Obama, as well as his entire administration and both Houses of Congress responsible for the mess that America is in?
When do Conservative get the courage to stand up to our enemies? We have bleeding hearts that mourn the deaths of Communists in Norway, we have bleeding hearts that were beside themselves over the shooting of Gabby Giffords, but look who showed up to vote FOR this budget deal in the House.
We have bleeding heart Conservatives that mourn the deaths in Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran, they believe they are mourning *freedom fighters* when the fact of the matter is; these people are NOT freedom fighters, they are merely another sect of Islam and once they are done fighting with each other, the United States automatically goes right back to the top of their enemy list.
When do REAL Conservatives stand up and realize that all of this bleeding heart BS is nothing more than another version of RINOism and what I call ‘Dem Lite’ and is exactly what the real Dems and hard core Libbers are wanting to see; America turned into a nation of sheep, following the marching orders of Obama and Company?
So, I ask again; how’s that Hope and Change thing working out for you?
If you voted for Obama in 2008 to prove you’re not a racist, you’ll have to vote for someone else in 2012 to prove you’re not an idiot.
Well again you’re not wrong on any of this, but I’d like to point out something that is always lost in the discussion of our nations debt. Bush came into a relative surplus. However the attack on our financial institution did have an effect. We could have dove head first into recession or done what was done. The “Go shopping” and “Tax breaks” Bush instituted curtailed what could have been real bad for us and made AQ successful. Shortly after the attack the stock market came back, the economy didn’t fall into any type of recession and I think our unemployment was around that 4% or so..
We stayed there for a while and we decided to go into Iraq, the economy still was fine. revenues were stable at the federal level because unemployment was still 4%…
Sometime between 2004 and 2006 we decided to make a change. You and I both said the same thing when the gavel in the house went to Pelosi. Economic hardship was coming. Bush “Compromised” us right into economic collapse and people fail to remember that little tid bit of Bush’s years in office. We’ve already done the “Compromise” thing with the liberals and it got us 9% unemployment and historic deficits.
Bush didn’t do us any favors by trying to be nice to his adversaries. But what I really find funny is NOW the Republicans control the house and it’s THEIR fault that Obama didn’t get his way. But it was Bush’s fault that the house DID get their way when Democrats were in control.. Funny how that works huh?
The big news is that the Dems & the MSM have finally declared War On Terrorists—not real terrorists, of course, just anybody that comes out in favor of fiscal sanity. We should retaliate by calling for a War On Errorists, & reward Obama & all the Dems & RINOs in Washington with one-way tickets back to their home states—assuming that anyone there still wants them.
I think you did a great job summing up this rogue administration Fred. You can tell quite a bit about a person by who he hangs around with; he spent his life hanging around with Marxist radicals and race baiters and this should have been a warning sign before he was elected. He is hanging around with the same type of people now, only they have a say in US policy-it is frightening to see who we gave power to.
