This is great! "It doesn't make any sense" Well maybe if he had his teleprompter he wouldn't say such stupid things. The problem is this is how he really "thinks" (or maybe we should not use the word "think" in the same sentence with Obama, this is what he really "believes").
Remember when President Obama embarrassed the Supreme Court at the State of the Union Address in January? The Court had ruled, in a courageous decision, that McCain-Feingold violated free speech rights. Obama, took a cheap shot at the Court as the justices sat there. Juvenile Democrats whooped and hollered like drunken frat boys. Chief Justice Roberts disgusted just shook his head and muttered "not true."
Now comes payback. You see Obamacare has, what is called the "individual mandate" requiring all Americans to purchase health insurance against their will. That is most likely unconstitutional and guess who gets to review that? You guessed it. Those same Supreme Court Justices that were bullied and humiliated by our juvenile friends back in January.
So while I'm sure the Justices will seek Constitutional justice and will uphold their oath, unlike so many congressman, who sold their votes. They are still human and you can just imagine the personal feelings, that bit of pleasure they might take in sending this down the toilet because it won't stand up to the Constitution.
Wouldn't it be fitting if the Justices gave Obama a smackdown and then hooped and hollered a bit as they read their decision.
a. The US. Postal Service was established in 1775. They had 234 years to get it right and it's broke.
b. Social Security was established in 1935. They had 74 years to get it right and it's broke.
c. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. They had 71 years to get it right and it's broke.
d. The War on Poverty started in 1964. They had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor and they only want more.
e. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. They had 44 years to get it right and they are broke.
f. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. They had 39 years to get it right and it's broke.
g. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. 32 years later, it's an abysmal failure.
They have FAILED in every "government service" they have touched...while overspending our tax dollars.
AND THEY WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE THEY CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM??
The government programs "Cash for Clunkers" has been running for one week. In that time, it has been successful but now there are reports that the government may suspend it because they are running out of money and they did not plan for the success.
How would you like to be on the operating table if the government takes over health care? So far the stimulus package did not work as they planned, cash for clunkers has worked but they can't handle success and now they want to take over health care.
Maybe they should just concentrate of fixing the economy (or getting out of the way of the economy).
You NEED to watch this. No matter what your politics, you need to watch this so that you understand that there are consequences to the idiotic things that they do in Washington DC. They do effect our lives and we need to get rid of the bums that were responsible for this mess.
The has-been media refuse to report these facts. There are no journalists left at the NY Times or Newsweak, or CNN, or CBS or any of the major networks. It's a shame but it's true. The days of tough, independent minded journalists who would dig to find a story are over. Now we have lame media who hang out together and all want to be accepted by each other. That's why for awhile "gravitas" was the word of one election, but now they don't use it. That's why when you hear one false story on one network, it will be repeated on another, even though it's been proven false online already.
They can no longer be trusted. It's a shame.
So invest 11 minutes of your life, and if you have more time, google the information, do your own research and decide if what is reported here is true or not. Thanks to the internet, you no longer have to be anybody's useful idiot. Decide for yourself!
A lot is being written about the recent failures of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Recently Newsweek writer and NJ resident Jonathan Alter tried to blame McCain and tie him in to the Keating 5 scandal. Unfortunately for Mr. Alter, anyone with access to a computer knows that McCain was cleared of any wrongdoing and even Ann Coulter wrote a more accurate piece than Jonathan which is sad but typical of the Newsweak, NY Times "journalist" lately. When people become desperate partisans for any one candidate, they lose their ability to do their jobs as journalists and all think that they're Rush Limbaugh.
Frank Raines is working on Senator Obama's campaign and the "has-been" media refuses to report the tie-in, but you can watch this video and decide for yourself what is and is not true.
"Look, the fact is that if Barack Obama's policy on Iraq had been implemented, Barack Obama couldn't go to Iraq today."
Is that fair? Is it because President Bush went ahead with the "surge" when the Democrats said the war was already lost that now it's safe to go to Iraq?
Recently, a NASA scientist, Dr. James Hansen said that Global Warming deniers, CEO's of fossil fuel companies should be tried for "crimes against humanity". So the people who provide you with the gas for your car, or the gas for the bus that gets you to work everyday, or the fuel that gets food to the grocery store so you can eat, should be tried for crimes against humanity. But what about the folks that believe in global warming but continue to fly private jets, drive SUV's and get driven around in limo's? For example, when some Hollywood star or rock star comes out against global warming and preaches to us how we should live, that's great, but when Sheryl Crowe goes on tour, the trucks that carry her equipment, (not her bio-diesel tour bus) use more fossil fuel for one tour than the average American uses in a year. Then if you add all the carbon produced by the folks sitting in traffic trying to get to the arena's and stadiums, shouldn't these people give up touring and just do one pay per view concert we could all watch on TV? Okay, they'd make less money but they could still make over $100,000 working one day per year.
What about Al Gore? Why does he have to fly on private jets and then drive in three cars to give his speeches. Can't he just do a video conference from his Apple MacBook at home for free? Does he need to make $300,000,000 per year and generate a larger carbon footprint than 100,000 Americans combined?
See, I don't know about you, but I have trouble taking health advice from a fat, chain smoking doctor, who tells me that I need to exercise, eat right and quit smoking. "Gee, Doc, do you really believe that?"
Does Al Gore really believe in Global Warming? Is he just making a profit? If he believes it, why isn't he doing anything about it? My house was solar powered 5 years before Al Gore's house.
This raises a huge question of credibility. Read this article in USA today to get more information. Go here.
