Obama doesn't seem to care about economy
Monday, July 20, 2009 6:43 AM PDT
What's it going to take for the people of this country to wipe the sleep out of their eyes and see what's going on?
We have a president with training wheels who seems to spend more time on his "America Apologizes World Tour" than being here tending to an ailing economy. We are castrating our missile defense programs while Iran is developing nukes and North Korea is already lobbing missiles in our direction.
Obama doesn't seem to care about the economy — it's no secret that he's no friend to capitalism — and what better way to get his health care bill passed than to have people out of work with their health care benefits terminated?
Want to keep your same doctor under his plan? Pay the supplemental premium, like Medicare. Need a hip replacement? Not life-threatening, so stock up on those painkillers, because you could wait up to two years to get your hip repaired. Have an eye disease that is treatable? Well, ask Mr. Tagg, of Great Britain, about that; the NHS will not treat him unless he loses sight in one eye first.
Cap and Trade? The latest addition to the bill will make provisions for your home to be open to an audit and reported to the Residential Energy Services Network. There are estimates that this bill could cost each American household up to $3,000 annually, and put more restrictions on small businesses, costing even more American jobs. Great way to boost our economy, huh?
The health care bill is not passed yet, and the Cap and Trade has passed the House but not the Senate. There is still time to make your voices heard on these crucial bills. Log on to www.congress.org to get your representatives' contact information and get information on these and other bills. Get involved in yours and your children's futures; it is your God-given right to bury your head in the sand if you want. But when you come up for air and don't recognize the country you are in, it may be too late to go back.

I repeat my question: What can we learn from this experience?
what was our role in creating or allowing the problem to exist?
What can we do to improve upon our roles in this to prevent recurrence in the future? "

Did you know that my President Bush never put his wars in our budget?
Thank goodness we are now finally placing all our wars AND all our national catastrophies (predictions) in our budget.
Please do not forget that my President Bush gave the banks the first stimulus monies.
I am following our new president. My personal portfolio has more than recovered the 2008 crash and my business is up. I am loving life.
I am hiring new people.
You have a good night. "

I forget which is which that they had, but a uranium bomb is very different than a plutonium bomb, and Plame had the Koreans buying the wrong parts.
In spite of all the bad things I ever said about Clinton, it is true that during his administration, the Koreans were not dead-set on developing a weapon, and it was during the Bush administration that they were betrayed in diplomacy and got mad and devoted themselves to the bomb.
I heard a rumor that it was a fizzle dud. "
danielh wrote on Jul 20, 2009 4:08 PM:
This is a Bush-Cheney project. This goes over to the Valerie Plame - Joseph Wilson ousters.
Valerie Plame was in charge of nuclear proliferation intervention and counter-measures.
Valerie Plame inflatrated the world nuke proliferation Khan network. She was so good at what she was doing that she intercepted Cheney's nuclear warhead in its travels through Turkey. Cheney had such a plan to smuggle and plant a nuclear WMD into Iraq so that American troops would "accidentally" discover the weapon and justify the war.
The plan was so secret that the CIA nuclear countermeasures was not aware of the plan, and they didn't know it was an American plan when they intercepted it. "

I don't know much about the Democrats hardly at all, but I would imagine that they aren't leading the charge to get an American into the White House. "
danielh wrote on Jul 20, 2009 4:00 PM:
Narry a peep of criticism would be uttered from the Republic party.
I personally witnessed their meetings, and when they wrote letters I knew who they were. Bush walked on water, and he couldn't do anything wrong. He was the epitome of Godly representation for mankind in the White House.
For the Republic party it was all about how good of a job the American troops are doing for Iraq, how wrong the bad press against the war was, McNerney's mistaken election and he doesn't belong in congress, and he won't beat us in the next election, etc. etc. etc.
They asked me to put my name on a paper and let them write this kind of ugliness in my name. Thus for all of the 30-50 Republican letters with different names, there was only about 2-3 authors, maximum. "

That is why I wrote my letter.
Who has enough gold and silver to challenge the debt? Think.
Before the ouster, they would need to do diplomacy with European bankers, and with China to assure them that we would pay after Obama is ousted, and Joint Chiefs would have to go along with it.
Can anyone think of who that might be?
Think of who it is that might have that amount of gold and silver. "

I can only be a hearsay source for this question, because I never listened to a word he said.
People tell me about his mentioning the private-class.
If someone is truly "private," they have unlimited credit, and they don't need insurance.
[PUBLIC voters must have thought his private language was appealing, and they thought he was referring to them.] "

Commerce Secretary: Americans ‘Need to Pay’ for Chinese Emissions
"Commerce Secretary Gary Locke said something amazing—U.S. consumers should pay for part of Chinese greenhouse-gas emissions. From Reuters:
"'It’s important that those who consume the products being made all around the world to the benefit of America — and it’s our own consumption activity that’s causing the emission of greenhouse gases, then quite frankly Americans need to pay for that,' Commerce Secretary Gary Locke told the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai."
As if we're not taxed enough already! "

Maybe you should look in the mirror because the "evils" you list regarding Obama are EXACTLY the SAME things Bush Jr. did and there was nary a peep.
daneilh GREAT post! Don't know if you've caught any of the videos or not; there of Ron Paul interviews from the TV. Guess what? ***Now*** the MSM is asking Dr. Paul: What would you do if you had been elected President?
What a bunch of frickin' morons. LOL! Ron Paul's answer to this question was exactly what he SAID he would do during the campaign. "

What can be learned from this?
Last year, Obama was the greatest possibility for the American presidency.
In this column right here, people argued that candidate Ron Paul was an isolationist, and God forbid, he would defend America's borders, and our economy.
I saw on CNN they scrolled "J-O-B-S" across the screen, and the great Obama's microphone wasn't connected to CNN. Since CNN was telling us that great scroll across the screen, it must've been true.
So I repeat: What can be learned from this bad experience? "
