By: David A. Patten Tuesday, 05 Oct 2010 05:53 PM
Radio talk-show giant Rush Limbaugh blasted President Barack Obama for his flawed understanding of the economy on Tuesday, referring to Obama as an "economic ignoramus" and a "jackass."
Triggering Limbaugh's wrath on his program were Obama's remarks to his economic recovery board on Monday.
At that meeting, top economic experts Martin Feldstein and William Donaldson advised the president to encourage businesses to hire workers by extending the Bush tax cuts. But Obama defended his policy of allowing taxes to increase on those families earning $250,000 or more.
"I don’t know any economists," said the president, "who think we are likely to get a bump in aggregate demand from $700 billion of borrowed money going to people like those of us around the table, who, if I suspect want a flat-screen TV, can afford one right now and are going out and buying one."
Limbaugh said he found it incredible that the president believes purchases of flat-screened televisions could bring about an economic recovery. He pointed out most of those are made in China anyway.
Obama is an “idiot, where capitalism is concerned,” Limbaugh said.
During the exchange with the economists, Obama said he was not concerned that wealthy people hit by large tax increases would "take their ball and go home," rather than contribute to economic activity.
According to ABC News, Limbaugh referred to the president as "our imam-child." Limbaugh shot back, “They have already taken their trillion-dollar ball home, and they're sitting on it, you jackass!"
Limbaugh pointed out that no one was proposing additional tax cuts. Extending the Bush tax cuts for everyone, Limbaugh said, would encourage businesses to invest and create jobs “which, once upon a time, we were told, was Obama’s top priority.”
Limbaugh added of the president: "He's a jackass. He's an economic illiterate. He's an economic ignoramus.”
“And that's being charitable.”

Is Obama The Anti-Christ? Why Did He Drop "Creator" From The Quote From The Declaration Of Independence???
President Obama removed the reference to the "Creator" from the Declaration of Independence when he quoted a portion at a meeting of the Congressional Hispanic Congress.
Obama said, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, endowed with certain inalienable rights: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
But the actual quotation is:

The most important chart on the Obama budget?
August 11th, 2010
Oh yes…there are many things worth pointing out in this chart showing the deficit to GDP of the Bush and Obama administrations, based on numbers from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
For example, the worst year before the crash of the Bush administration was 3.5% deficit to GDP. The best year of the Obama administration over two terms would be 4.1%. But that’s NOT the most important thing.
The Bush administration averaged debt that was less than the historical average of past presidents for his entire two terms, only rising above that in the crash year of 2009, (when he obviously was not in office anymore, but was still largely responsible for the budget.) But that’s NOT the most important thing either.
In 2009, the projected Bush budget deficit was 8.3% of GDP, by the time Obama was done with it–it had skyrocketed even further—to 9.9%. But that’s NOT the most important thing either.
Even when you include the entire crash year of 2009, Bush still averaged only a 2.7% debt to GDP ratio—the historical average is 2.6%. Throw in the fact that he had 9-11, corporate scandals that started long before he was in office, and the great recession—that’s pretty amazing. Even as a partial Bush apologist, that surprised me. But that’s NOT the most important thing either.
The average deficit of the Bush years was 2.7%, the average of the theoretical deficit of two terms of Obama is 6.4%. But, that’s not the most important thing either.
What is? The years 2014-2020. Let’s say you blame the entire crash on Bush, and give Obama 6 full years to make up for it. If everything goes according to plan, Obama’s deficit falls to 4.1% of GDP in 2014. Yes, that’s still worse than any full Bush year, and 58% worse than the historical average—but the most vital thing is what happens NEXT. Even after he magically “steadies the economic ship”—the deficit is projected to GET WORSE EVERY YEAR UNTIL 2020, which is when estimates stop.
Even using rosy government estimates—there is no balanced budget under President Obama. There is no year that beats Bush’s worst full year. There is no year that approaches the historical average of past presidents. And, even after the crash passes, Obama continues to make things worse, and worse, and worse.
For once I agree with Obama. He is “bending the curve.” Perhaps we should focus on what way it’s being bent.

UPDATE: A comment that points out another important observation:
Chris Norman Aug 11
One very important thing is missing from the graph. Senator Barack Obama and the Dems controlled the Senate and the House after the 2006 election. Congress controls the deficit, not the President, except for vetoes. If you consider that, the deficits in the last 4 years up to 2006 were decreasing. Once the Dems took over, the curve bends up dramatically.
For all of you aspiring graph-geeks out there, remove the financial crisis by drawing a line from 2007 to 2014 and see the frightening yet consistent rise…

Obama Attacks You And Americans For Prosperity By Name - Tim Phillips
I received the following email from Americans For Prosperity. There's not much for me to say since the email says it all.

Subject: Obama attacks you -- AFP by name
Dear Leonard,
Want to know the difference you are making with Americans for Prosperity?
President Obama, his poll numbers down in the dumps because of his big government agenda, is now making shrill, desperate attacks on Americans for Prosperity and our 1,200,000 AFP grassroots activists across the nation - folks like you.
Here's what the President said:
"Right now all around this country there are groups with harmless-sounding names like Americans for Prosperity, who are running millions of dollars of ads against Democratic candidates all across the country. And they don't have to say who exactly the Americans for Prosperity are. You don't know if it's a foreign-controlled corporation. You don't know if it's a big oil company, or a big bank. You don't know if it's an insurance company that wants to see some of the provisions in health reform repealed because it's good for their bottom line, even if it's not good for the American people."
The President and his friends on the Left are back to accusing you and me of being front groups for "foreign-controlled corporations" or for "big banks" or a "big oil company" - the President personally denigrates the integrity of over 1,200,000 Americans just because he's angry that we're taking an effective stand against his liberal policies.
How sad. How outrageous. (And Lenny says: HOW PATHETIC!!!!!)
Across the nation, literally thousands of our fellow Americans are turning out for our November is Coming bus tour events and grassroots training sessions. I was in Michigan earlier this week and across Pennsylvania last week. The atmosphere is electric. CLICK HERE for pictures of these events and our upcoming schedule.
The President is right about one thing - Americans for Prosperity is running ads across the nation urging Americans to call their member of Congress to tell him or her that they better stop supporting big government legislation like the health care takeover, cap-and-tax, and yet more big bloated spending. CLICK HERE TO SEE SOME OF THESE ADS.
President Obama can continue his attacks but that won't change the fact that November is Coming. Commit today to doing your part to make sure our fellow Americans send a powerful message to our fellow citizens and to Congress on behalf of freedom and prosperity. You can knock on doors, call citizens, become a neighborhood leader and so much more. CLICK HERE to sign up for our November is Coming efforts.
Take heart -- the President is attacking us by name. He knows, and the Left knows, we are making a crucial difference.

Summertime Blues - $50 BILLION In Government Waste In Obama's Stimulus - Spendulus Packaged Has Been Exposed
Late Breaking News.... AT LEAST $50 BILLION OF CERTIFIED GOVERNMENT WASTE AND PORK TYPE PROJECTS FOUND IN OBAMA'S STIMULUS / SPENDULUS PACKAGE!!!
Lenny Vasbinder
(SEE YOUTUBE VIDEO BELOW)
(WASHINGTON, DC) - U.S. Senators Tom Coburn, M.D. (R-OK) and John McCain (R-AZ) today released a new oversight report: “Summertime Blues: 100 Stimulus Projects that Give Taxpayers the Blues.” (Download FULL PDF version of report here) The report, a third in a series, highlights questionable stimulus projects that are wasteful, mismanaged, and overall unsuccessful in creating jobs. The projects featured in the report cannot be considered as an investment in long-term priorities to create and sustain economic growth that the Stimulus was designed to do.
Coburn and McCain write in the report:
“Eighteen months since the passage of the stimulus bill, millions of jobs are still gone and the economy is as uncertain as ever. The only thing getting a boost is our national debt. The stimulus has helped push it 23 percent higher, to $13.2 trillion, a new record.”
“We owe it to all Americans that are paying taxes and struggling to find jobs, to rebuild our economy without doing additional harm, and to do it in a way that expands opportunities for future generations. Too many stimulus projects are failing to meet that goal.”
“Washington should focus on re-igniting the unmatched power of the American entrepreneurial spirit by sweeping away government red tape, expanding markets for U.S. goods, making it easier for small businesses to obtain credit, and reducing our national debt by eliminating wasteful Washington spending.”
“We owe it to every American to rebuild our economy without doing additional harm and in a manner that expands opportunities for future generations of Americans. Job creation should be a national priority, but torrential, misdirected government spending is not the way to do it.”
Examples of wasteful projects include:
• $554,763 for the Forest Service to replace windows in a closed visitor center at Mount St. Helens
• $762,372 to create “Dance Draw” interactive dance software
• $62 million for a tunnel to nowhere in Pittsburgh, PA that even Governor, Ed Rendell called “a tragic mistake”
• $1.9 million for international ant research
• $1.8 million for a road project that is threatening a pastor’s home
• $308 million for a joint clean energy venture with…BP - (Lenny adds... this sounds like payback for BP's HUGE contributions to Obama's campaign... see the BP Oil Spill Timeline for more info... http://lennyvasbinder.blogspot.com/2010/06/bp-oil-spill-was-all-obamas-fault-bush.html)
• $89,298 to replace a new sidewalk that leads to a ditch in Boynton, OK
• $3.8 million for a “streetscaping” project that has reduced traffic and caused a business to fire two employees
• $16 million to help Boeing to clean up an environmental mess it created in 2007
• $200,000 to help Siberian communities lobby Russian policy makers
• $39.7 million to upgrade the statehouse and political offices in Topeka, Kansas
• $760,000 to Georgia Tech to study improvised music
• $700,000 to study why monkeys respond negatively to inequity
• $193,956 to study voter perceptions of the economic stimulus
• $363,760 to help NIH promote the positive impacts of stimulus projects
• $456,663 to study the circulation of Neptune’s atmosphere
• $529,648 to study the effects of local populations on the environment…in the Himalayas

“Washington should focus on re-igniting the unmatched power of the American entrepreneurial spirit by sweeping away government red tape, expanding markets for U.S. goods, making it easier for small businesses to obtain credit, and reducing our national debt by eliminating wasteful Washington spending.”
“We owe it to every American to rebuild our economy without doing additional harm and in a manner that expands opportunities for future generations of Americans. Job creation should be a national priority, but torrential, misdirected government spending is not the way to do it.”
Examples of wasteful projects include:
• $554,763 for the Forest Service to replace windows in a closed visitor center at Mount St. Helens
• $762,372 to create “Dance Draw” interactive dance software
• $62 million for a tunnel to nowhere in Pittsburgh, PA that even Governor, Ed Rendell called “a tragic mistake”
• $1.9 million for international ant research
• $1.8 million for a road project that is threatening a pastor’s home
• $308 million for a joint clean energy venture with…BP - (Lenny adds... this sounds like payback for BP's HUGE contributions to Obama's campaign... see the BP Oil Spill Timeline for more info... http://lennyvasbinder.blogspot.com/2010/06/bp-oil-spill-was-all-obamas-fault-bush.html)
• $89,298 to replace a new sidewalk that leads to a ditch in Boynton, OK
• $3.8 million for a “streetscaping” project that has reduced traffic and caused a business to fire two employees
• $16 million to help Boeing to clean up an environmental mess it created in 2007
• $200,000 to help Siberian communities lobby Russian policy makers
• $39.7 million to upgrade the statehouse and political offices in Topeka, Kansas
• $760,000 to Georgia Tech to study improvised music
• $700,000 to study why monkeys respond negatively to inequity
• $193,956 to study voter perceptions of the economic stimulus
• $363,760 to help NIH promote the positive impacts of stimulus projects
• $456,663 to study the circulation of Neptune’s atmosphere
• $529,648 to study the effects of local populations on the environment…in the Himalayas

"No Apologies" OR "You Could Have Heard A Pin Drop"???
I received the below via email and after checking it out on Snopes.com and other resource sites, found that at least part of it is factually accurate. The rest of the information, whether accurately quoted and/or attributed, or not, is still accurate as far as the spirit of the information.
Lenny Vasbinder
At a time when Obama and other politicians tend to apologize for our country's prior actions, here's a refresher on how some of our former patriots handled negative comments about America.
These are good.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
JFK's Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60's when DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO. DeGaulle said he wanted all U.S. military out of France as soon as possible.
Rusk responded, "Does that include those who are buried here?
DeGaulle did not respond.
You could have heard a pin drop
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When in England, at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of empire building by George Bush.
He answered by saying, 'Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.'
You could have heard a pin drop.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying, 'Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intended to do, bomb them?'
A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly, 'Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?'
You could have heard a pin drop.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of Officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, 'Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?'
Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied, 'Maybe it's because the Brit's, Canadians, Aussie's and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German.'
You could have heard a pin drop.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AND THIS NEXT STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE...
Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on bag.
"You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked sarcastically.
Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.
"Then you should know enough to have your passport ready."
The American said, 'The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it."
"Impossible. Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in France!"
The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, "Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to."
You could have heard a pin drop.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you are proud to be an American, pass this on!

"The Ten Commandments According To Obama" - By PatriotUpdate.com
©2009 The Patriot Update. Feel free to circulate this article, but please link / give credit to The Patriot Update. http://patriotupdate.com/exclusives/read/13
After observing Obama on the campaign trail and during his first six months in office, we have concluded that our President lives and governs according to his own set of “Ten Commandments.” They’re certainly NOT the Ten Commandments you learned in Sunday School. In fact, many are the direct opposite! To prove that our conclusions are correct, you will find a link to SOURCE documentation at the end of each commandment.
------------
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ACCORDING TO OBAMA
I. Thou shalt have no God in America, except for me. For we are no longer a Christian nation and, after all, I am the chosen One. (And like God, I do not have a birth certificate.) SOURCE
II. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, unless it is my face carved on Mt. Rushmore. SOURCE
III. Thou shalt not utter my middle name in vain (or in public). Only I can say Barack Hussein Obama. SOURCE
IV. Remember tax day, April 15th, to keep it holy. SOURCE
V. Honour thy father and thy mother until they are too old and sick to care for. They will cost our public-funded health-care system too much money. SOURCE
VI. Thou shalt not kill, unless you have an unwanted, unborn baby. For it would be an abomination to punish your daughter with a baby. SOURCE
VII. Thou shalt not commit adultery if you are conservative or a Republican. Liberals and Democrats are hereby forgiven for all of their infidelity and immorality, but the careers of conservatives will be forever destroyed. SOURCE
VIII. Thou shalt not steal, until you've been elected to public office. Only then is it acceptable to take money from hard-working, successful citizens and give it to those who do not work, illegal immigrants, or those who do not have the motivation to better their own lives. SOURCE
IX. Thou shalt not discriminate against thy neighbor unless they are conservative, Caucasian, or Christian. SOURCE
X. Thou shalt not covet because it is simply unnecessary. I will place such a heavy tax burden on those that have achieved the American Dream that, by the end of my term as President, nobody will have any wealth or material goods left for you to covet. SOURCE

Is America Better Off Today Than It Was Two Years Ago???
While reading this article, "20 Questions for the Obama Regime", the last question prompted the title to this blog. Not withstanding the other 19 very important questions, answers and FACTS in the rest of the article, lets look at a few FACTS, in my own words!
Two years ago, unemployment was under 6% and was usually between 4% and 6% during President Bush's two terms... and since Obama took office, unemployment has hovered between 9.5% and 10%, even after Obama promised us it would not go over 8% if Congress passed Obama's Spendulus package, which has mostly failed... so we're not better off with unemployment. http://www.miseryindex.us/URbyyear.asp?StartYear=2000&EndYear=2009
Two years ago, the national debt was under $10 TRILLION and since Obama took office, his deficit spending of over a TRILLION dollars and nearly TWO TRILLION DOLLARS A YEAR has raised the national debt to OVER $13 TRILLION... a 33% increase since Obama took office. (Side note: When the Democrats took over Congress in 2006, the national debt was a little over $8 TRILLION so it's up around 60% in only four years of Democrat control... with projections, if Obama and the Democrats stay in control, of OVER $20 TRILLION!!!)... so we're not better off with the deficits and national debt.
The Misery Index during eight years of President Bush averaged only 8.11% and under Obama, the Misery Index has averaged 9.88%, OVER a 20% increase. The Misery Index has been down in single digits from 1993 until Obama took office and has been in double digits the past nine months... so we're not better off with the Misery Index. http://www.miseryindex.us/indexbypresident.asp
http://www.miseryindex.us/raw_data.asp
Since 9/11, there were NO terrorist attacks on American soil but since Obama has taken over and started babying the terrorists... or rather "man caused disasters" as he and his administration started calling terrorist attacks, there have been MANY terrorist attacks on American soil, fortunately a couple of them have failed due to the DUMB-ASSED terrorists but if they had succeeded, there would have been dozens, if not hundreds of Americans killed in those failed attacks. The ones that have succeeded resulted in dozens of American deaths on American soil... so we're not better off with terrorist attacks IN America!!!
I could go on and on but I think you get the point!
AMERICA IS NOT BETTER OFF TODAY THAN WE WERE TWO YEARS AGO... THANKS OBAMA!!!!

Obama's Big Oil Spill Bungle - by Dick Morris
I just got in the below email from Dick Morris, a former Bill Clinton advisor, strategist and pollster, who agrees with me and many others about Obama and his administration really screwing up things concerning the BP Oil Spill.
The BIG QUESTION is whether Obama is doing it on purpose or is just inept. Obama's possible reasons for doing it on purpose would be to further his socialist agenda to shut down and possibly take over the oil industry... don't laugh, it happend with the little dictator in Venezuela... and also to satisfy his left-wing base with their so-called "green energy" concepts since Obama is using this accident to perpetuate so-called "green energy" concepts as well.

If they succeed... and if Obama gets re-elected, America will become a third world country in the next ten years.
I pray that Obama fails!
And I also pray that Republicans and Conservatives take over the House and/or Senate in November 2010 so Obama does not succeed in destroying America as we know it.

OBAMA'S BIG OIL SPILL BUNGLE
By DICK MORRIS
Published on TheHill.com - http://reports.dickmorris.com/t/324555/7445237/10923/0/ on June 29, 2010
Printer-Friendly Version - http://reports.dickmorris.com/t/324555/7445237/10924/0/
It's one thing to say that Obama's administration showed ineptitude and mismanagement in its handling of the Gulf oil spill. It is quite another to grasp the situation up close, as I did during a recent visit to Alabama.
According to state disaster relief officials, Alabama conceived a plan -- early on -- to erect huge booms offshore to shield the approximately 200 miles of the state's coastline from oil. Rather than install the relatively light and shallow booms in use elsewhere, the state (with assistance from the Coast Guard) canvassed the world and located enough huge, heavy booms -- some weighing tons and seven meters high -- to guard their coast.
But...no sooner were the booms in place than the Coast Guard, perhaps under pressure from the public comments of James Carville, uprooted them and moved them to guard the Louisiana coastline instead.
So Alabama decided on a backup plan. It would buy snare booms to catch the oil as it began to wash up on the beaches.
But...the Fish and Wildlife Administration vetoed the plan, saying it would endanger sea turtles that nest on the beaches.
So Alabama -- ever resourceful -- decided to hire 400 workers to patrol the beaches in person, scooping up oil that had washed ashore.
But...OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration) refused to allow them to work more than 20 minutes out of every hour and required an hourlong break after 40 minutes of work, so the cleanup proceeded at a very slow pace.
The short answer is that every agency -- each with its own particular bureaucratic agenda -- was able to veto each aspect of any plan to fight the spill, with the unintended consequence that nothing stopped the oil from destroying hundreds of miles of wetlands, habitats, beaches, fisheries and recreational facilities.
Where was the president? Why did he not intervene in these and countless other bureaucratic controversies to force a focus on the oil, not on the turtles and other incidental concerns?
According to Alabama Gov. Bob Riley, the administration's "lack of ability has become transparent" in its handling of the oil spill. He notes that one stellar exception has been Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, without whom, he says, nothing whatever would have gotten done.
Eventually, the state stopped listening to federal agencies and just has gone ahead and given funds directly to the local folks fighting the spill rather than paying attention to the directives of the Unified Command. Apparently, there is a world of difference between the competence of the Coast Guard and the superb and efficient regular Navy and military.
Now the greatest crisis of all looms on the horizon as hurricanes sweep into the Gulf. Should one hit offshore, it will destroy all the booms that have been placed to stop the oil from reaching shore. And there are no more booms anywhere in the world, according to Alabama disaster relief officials. "There is no more inventory of booms anywhere on earth," one told me in despair.
The political impact of this incompetence has only just begun to be felt. While administration operatives are flying high after a week in which the president's ratings rebounded to 49 percent, per Rasmussen, after his firing of Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the oil is still gushing and the situation is about to worsen.
The obvious fact is that Obama has no executive experience, nor do any of his top advisers. Without a clear mandate from the top, needed efforts to salvage the situation are repeatedly stymied by well-meaning bureaucrats strictly following the letter of their agency policy and federal law. The result, ironically, of their determined efforts to protect the environment
has been the greatest environmental disaster in history. But some turtles are OK!

No Taxpayer Union Bailouts... Period!
The liberal-socialist Democrat led Congress is now trying to bailout all of the unions to the tune of $165 BILLION. This just cannot happen. America is already on the verge of bankruptcy and the Democrat led Congress has more than DOUBLED the National Debt in the past three years, from $6 TRILLION to OVER $13 TRILLION today with a projected $20 TRILLION National Debt by 2015 unless something is done TODAY!!! This debt is being passed on to your children and grand-children and it simply has to stop.
Using the Tea Party Citizen Action Center, please do like I did and send the following email to ALL of your elected thieves... ooops.. I mean your politicians.
Below is the email I just sent to all of mine!

Dear [The message(s) you sent had each recipient's name here]:
Enough is enough. The United States is on the verge of insolvency... actual employment is approaching 20% and Americans are finding it harder and harder to make ends meet.
And yet, elected officials on both sides of the aisle are pushing a taxpayer funded bailout of poorly managed union pension plans that, according to a number of news reports, may carry an initial price tag of $165 billion.
H.R. 3936 and S. 3157 must never see the light of day. Union pension plans are not a government entitlement program and the American people have no duty or obligation to financially support your political schemes, scams and payoffs. This insanity must stop!
Further...
What Happened To Obama's Promise To End Bailouts?
On April 14, 2010, Obama met with Congressional leaders from both parties and promised to put an end to bailouts.
Specifically, according to a statement issued by White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs after the meeting: " ... he [Obama] reaffirmed his belief that we must end taxpayer bailouts, end 'Too Big To Fail' and that he would not accept a bill that did not pass that test."
But apparently, many in Congress aren't taking Obama at his word. And why should they? After all... they know the score... they can read the handwriting on the wall... and they know what they must do to maintain power.
After all, in his autobiography "Audacity of Hope," Barack Obama himself admitted, "I owe these unions."
The American people are turning against the extreme policies of the Obama administration and the irresponsible spending of liberals in Congress.
A revolution is brewing. Actual unemployment is approaching 20%. Our economy is teetering on the verge of bankruptcy and liberals know that rewarding Big Labor is one of the steps that they must take to counter the backlash that is coming from the American people to maintain power.
And, yet the liberal politicians in Washington seemingly have no problem fighting YOU with YOUR MONEY.
Well... we have a problem with it and we know that you have a problem with it too. And together, we're going to let them know that we're not going to permit or allow political payoffs on the taxpayers' dime.
Sincerely,
Leonard Vasbinder

Obama Is A Post Turtle

YOU'VE GOT TO LOVE THIS RANCHER'S OUTLOOK & COMMON SENSE APPROACH TO LIFE
While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, who's hand was caught in the gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his being our president.
The old rancher said, 'Well, ya know, Obama is a 'Post Turtle''.
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post turtle' was? The old rancher said, 'When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post turtle'.
The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain. 'You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, and he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there to begin with'.
Amen
P.S. - Isn't Obama proving to be such a HUGE "Post Turtle" with the way he is handling everything from the economy, spending, foreign affairs, terrorism, immigration/border issues.... and of course, the BP oil accident???

STOP HARRY REID'S CAP-and-TRADE TAX SCHEME
Here's a FREE and easy way to send Harry Reid a postcard telling Senator Reid not to use the tragedy in the Gulf as an excuse to further the Obama Democrats' Cap-and-Trade Tax-and-Spend scheme.

Also, use the Tea Party Citizen Action Center to email ALL of YOUR elected officials, from your State Senators and Representatives all the way up to Obama, and let them know your feeling about this critical tax-and-spend legislation that America DOES NOT want or need.

Dear Senator Reid,
I'm writing to inform you that I disapprove of your cynical attempt to capitalize politically on the tragic Gulf oil spill by using it as a pretext to push your statist "Cap-and-Trade" scheme through the U.S. Senate and impose crushing taxes and energy reductions on the American people.
DO NOT DO IT! NO New National Energy Tax!

To My U.S. Senators: I INSIST You Vote AGAINST Elena Kagan's Confirmation To The Supreme Court
Please join me in TRYING to get our elected officials to actually LISTEN to WE THE PEOPLE for a change!!! Go to the National Association FOR Gun Rights and sign the Petition to Filibuster FOR Firearms. Below is the text of the petition.
To my U.S. Senators:
I insist you vote AGAINST Elena Kagan's confirmation to the Supreme Court.
There cannot be another anti-gun Justice who will rule against our right to keep and bear arms.
It is critical you utilize every tool at your disposal to stop this radical gun grabber from making it onto the Supreme Court, including joining and maintaining a FILIBUSTER.

And NOW, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton just announced the Obama Administration would be working hand in glove with the UN to pass a new "Small Arms Treaty."
Disguised as legislation to help in the fight against "terrorism," "insurgency" and "international crime syndicates," the UN's Small Arms Treaty is nothing more than a massive, GLOBAL gun control scheme.
Ultimately, the UN's Small Arms Treaty is designed to register, ban and CONFISCATE firearms owned by private citizens like YOU.
If passed by the UN and ratified by the U.S. Senate, the UN "Small Arms Treaty" would almost certainly FORCE national governments to:
*** Enact tougher licensing requirements, making law-abiding citizens cut through even more bureaucratic red tape just to own a firearm legally;
*** CONFISCATE and DESTROY ALL "unauthorized" civilian firearms (all firearms owned by the government are excluded, of course);
*** BAN the trade, sale and private ownership of ALL semi-automatic weapons;
*** Create an INTERNATIONAL gun registry, setting the stage for full-scale gun CONFISCATION.
I'm sure I don't have to tell you that this is NOT a fight we can afford to lose.

GOD Help America... Check Out This Graph Of The Deficit
Click Image To EnlargeYes folks, that graph shows the OUT OF CONTROL spending by the Obama administration... many times worse than what was done by George W. Bush, which was bad enough. In just one year, Obama did more DEFICIT SPENDING than George W. Bush did in his lat four years in office... including the first Wall Street Bailout right near the end of his last year in office. Here are the actual deficits for 2005 thru 2008 (W's last four years) which total $1.1 Trillion over four years... and then Obama's 2009 ONE YEAR deficit of $1.4 Trillion and the 2010 Deficit is projected to possibly be even more than 2009's deficit.
Date Value
2005 -318346
2006 -248181
2007 -160701
2008 -458555
2009 -1412686
This graph and information is right from the White House Office Of Management And Budget (or the OMB). Here's the same graph on the St. Louis Federal Reserve's page.
Lenny Vasbinder
Here's another view of the graph...
And check out what the NATIONAL DEBT has done since 1939 and then in the last four years of GWB and now in just one year of Obama. This is what happens when THE PEOPLE sit on their hands and let crooked politicians do whatever they want with OUR MONEY. Even the below images are out of date now. As of today, the actual National Debt is OVER THIRTEEN TRILLION DOLLARS with OVER ONE TRILLION DOLLAR PER YEAR deficits planned for the rest of Obama's term so the NATIONAL DEBT WILL BE NEAR TWENTY TRILLION DOLLARS AFTER OBAMA!!!!

Big Government statists have launched a scheme designed to do two things they love more than anything else: vastly increase the size and power of government - and give our federal masters more control over our personal business.
It's getting harder and harder for them to conceal their true intentions. And people are waking up to it.
Now you and I have a choice to make. We can give up and give in. Or we can FIGHT BACK.
C4L is working to contact millions of Americans about Ron Paul's END THE MANDATE ACT, H.R. 4995, which would repeal ObamaCare's mandate forcing Americans to carry government-approved insurance - a requirement that will be enforced by our old pals at the IRS.
Your signed copy of the first page of Ron Paul's bill, along with those from millions of others all across the country, will show the statists in Washington that we are not ready to surrender our health freedom.
This critical battle cannot succeed without your help.

America's Ultimatum AND Economic Crisis Summit... COMING SOON!!!
Thanks to Newsmax for alerting me to this new website, America's Ultimatum, with a GREAT new petition to Obama and Congress. Check it out and sign the petition and then register for the FREE Economic Crisis Summit, featuring Bill O'Reilly, Dick Morris and many more!!!
Here is the America's Ultimatum information and petition...
Dear Concerned Citizen,
If you are worried about:
• The current state of our economy. . .
• How our elected officials are handling it, and. . .
•The effect of inflation and higher taxes on your ability to achieve financial prosperity in the future. . .
I encourage you to take a few moments to participate in the important petition below. On June 11, 2010 it will be delivered to the White House and members of Congress.
And it will put them on notice that we will no longer stand by as they allow the $13 trillion federal deficit to grow larger.
And we will not let them raise our taxes to solve a problem they’ve created.
Please help us in creating a unified voice that will be impossible to ignore.
By signing this petition, you will also get FREE access to attend an online webinar with Fox News’s Bill O’Reilly and Dick Morris, International Investment Expert Jim Rogers, other special guests, and me for the Economic Crisis Summit on June 17. Details will be emailed to you after signing the petition.
Thank you for your support!

America’s Ultimatum
A Petition to President Obama and All Congressmen
We the citizens of the United States of America demand that our elected officials in Congress and the White House take immediate action to curb the threat of inflation and higher taxes to this great nation and its people.
We have all witnessed you enact legislation and overreaching programs that have added over $13 trillion to our national debt.
We also realize that your first methods for addressing this drastic situation will be to raise our taxes and allow the onslaught of inflation to attack the wealth of American citizens. And these are not acceptable solutions. In the immortal words of Thomas Jefferson:
“To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.”
We the People realize this is not an overnight catastrophe. It has occurred over many years and multiple administrations, and we demand it cease now. We of this petition represent all parties and all people of this country. And we are united. We will not stand silently anymore as years of reckless spending have put at risk our wealth, our retirement savings, and our future. And we will not allow you to hurt the promise we’ve made to our children and grandchildren — that they have the right to achieve financial prosperity and claim their piece of the American Dream. We realize that the only way to get the message across to you is in the voting booths. And this petition serves warning. Inaction on your part will not go unnoticed.
We Are Issuing This Ultimatum to You
1.) Under no circumstances are you to allow the Federal Reserve or any elected official to enact further programs to weaken our monetary system causing crippling inflation to take hold.
“Inflation is as violent as a mugger, as frightening as an armed robber and as deadly as a hit man.”
– Ronald Reagan
2.) Do not raise our taxes.
“An economy hampered by restrictive tax rates will never produce enough revenue to balance the budget — just as it will never produce enough jobs or enough profits.”
– John F. Kennedy
3.)You will immediately fix the fiasco you’ve caused by implementing a balanced budget program, ceasing over borrowing from foreign lenders, and putting an end to the historic increase in our money supply.
“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.”
– Henry Ford
Ignore these three directives and you will hear our voices of dissent in the polls and at the elections.
We the People of the United States of America owe it not only to our Founding Fathers, but to future generations to stop you from harming this great country any further.
When united together our voices will be too loud to ignore.
With Outrage,
The Citizens Of The United States Of America
Here is the America's Ultimatum information and petition...
Dear Concerned Citizen,
If you are worried about:
• The current state of our economy. . .
• How our elected officials are handling it, and. . .

We have all witnessed you enact legislation and overreaching programs that have added over $13 trillion to our national debt.
We also realize that your first methods for addressing this drastic situation will be to raise our taxes and allow the onslaught of inflation to attack the wealth of American citizens. And these are not acceptable solutions. In the immortal words of Thomas Jefferson:
“To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.”
We the People realize this is not an overnight catastrophe. It has occurred over many years and multiple administrations, and we demand it cease now. We of this petition represent all parties and all people of this country. And we are united. We will not stand silently anymore as years of reckless spending have put at risk our wealth, our retirement savings, and our future. And we will not allow you to hurt the promise we’ve made to our children and grandchildren — that they have the right to achieve financial prosperity and claim their piece of the American Dream. We realize that the only way to get the message across to you is in the voting booths. And this petition serves warning. Inaction on your part will not go unnoticed.
We Are Issuing This Ultimatum to You
1.) Under no circumstances are you to allow the Federal Reserve or any elected official to enact further programs to weaken our monetary system causing crippling inflation to take hold.
“Inflation is as violent as a mugger, as frightening as an armed robber and as deadly as a hit man.”
– Ronald Reagan
2.) Do not raise our taxes.
“An economy hampered by restrictive tax rates will never produce enough revenue to balance the budget — just as it will never produce enough jobs or enough profits.”
– John F. Kennedy
3.)You will immediately fix the fiasco you’ve caused by implementing a balanced budget program, ceasing over borrowing from foreign lenders, and putting an end to the historic increase in our money supply.
“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.”
– Henry Ford
Ignore these three directives and you will hear our voices of dissent in the polls and at the elections.
We the People of the United States of America owe it not only to our Founding Fathers, but to future generations to stop you from harming this great country any further.
When united together our voices will be too loud to ignore.
With Outrage,
The Citizens Of The United States Of America

Dear Lenny,
During his campaign, President Obama promised voters the "most transparent" administration in American history. Yet less than two years into his presidency we are regularly reminded of his failure to live up to that promise.
Presidential press conferences are rare, White House staffers interview Supreme Court nominees in place of the free press, and the President even refused to take questions at a signing ceremony for the "Freedom of the Press Act."
Perhaps most disconcerting is the fact that the White House has been stonewalling on conversations in which Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA) alleged he was offered a job if he dropped his bid for Pennsylvania's Senate seat. In a Friday news dump on Memorial Day weekend, the White House released a memo stating former President Bill Clinton, at the behest of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, made an offer to Rep. Sestak of a position in the Obama Administration.
But this unsubstantiated memo raises more questions than it answers.
What was Bill Clinton authorized to offer Rep. Sestak? And did President Obama sign off on this conversation before it took place?
If there was an offer of a job to Rep. Sestak for dropping out of the primary against Sen. Arlen Specter, that would be a violation of U.S. Codes 18-600 and 18-595.
Now more than ever it is clear that this White House is not capable of policing itself and needs to open itself to an independent investigation. I support Republican members of Congress who have asked the Justice Department to appoint a special prosecutor to look into the allegations.
Lenny, the Republican National Committee is taking action as well by demanding the Obama White House tell the American people what Bill Clinton was authorized to offer Rep. Sestak and whether President Obama signed off on this conversation before it took place. Please sign the RNC's petition today insisting President Obama come clean about his administration's dealings to directly affect the outcome of a primary election by allegedly offering a government position to Congressman Sestak.
After you sign the petition, please take a moment to make a secure online contribution of $25, $50, $100 or $500 to support the RNC's 2010 midterm campaign efforts to elect Republican majorities nationwide who will provide the much needed check on the Obama White House and end the Democrats' one-party rule in Washington.
Obfuscation and stonewalling is not what Barack Obama promised Americans, and it's not what you deserve. This is YOUR government -- it's time to hold it responsible. Please sign the RNC's petition today.
Sincerely,
Michael Steele
Chairman, Republican National Committee
P.S. Lenny, Rep. Sestak made his claim in February that someone from the Obama White House offered him a job in the administration if he dropped out of the Pennsylvania Senate primary. It took four months for the White House to address the allegations, but their memo leaves more questions than it answers. Please sign the RNC's petition today demanding the Obama Administration come clean about what Bill Clinton was authorized to offer Rep. Sestak and whether President Obama signed off on this conversation before it took place. And please make a secure online contribution of $25, $50, $100 or $500 after you sign the petition to help the RNC provide the campaign resources Republican candidates up and down the ballot need to win this November. Thank you.
