Obama's gift.... to the GOP

This administration has so far delivered :

• 3x yearly average annual deficit spending vs Bush (who was also a big spender).
• A national debt that will increase 2X over the next 8 yrs vs total debt incurred over the previous 8 yrs.
• Unemployment at 10.2%, not including those who have given up looking for a job.
• A $787B "stimulus" which promised to keep unemployment this year at 8%, but is just a slush fund for Democrat interest groups and public sector bailouts.
• Since the stimulus, the US has lost 2M more jobs.
• A Cap and Trade bill (Cap and Tax) that promises to tax every US household over the next couple decades. This despite the public is strongly in opposition to this bill.
• A government takeover of healthcare (yes it is liberals) that is extremely unpopular among the American public. And, it has NO bi-partisan support....and, it includes public taxed funds for abortions.
• No transparency- For an administration who campaigned on transparency, they lack this in every regard. Obama stated on the campaign trail that he would allow bills to be debated for 72 hours, also allowing Americans to view bills online and to watch them on C-Span. Yet on several bills, namely the Cap and Trade and Healthcare bill, they were rammed down, with less than 24 hours of debate.
• Thuggish Chicago tactics- The Saul Alinsky strategy. Instead of agreeing to disagree on issues, they take the hardball tactics of degrading, mis-interrpruting the oppositions point of views. If you don't believe me, just listen to Obama's next speech... it'll be full of, "the other side would like you to believe...." instead of saying there are honest disagreements. Also allowing his coherts to say the Fox News Channel is not a news channel...and not allowing his administration to be interviewed by Fox. Ummm, can you say immature??
• On his third, yes third day of office, he renewed public funds for overseas abortion that Bush outlawed. Nice!!! Way to "understand" both sides of the debate Obama.
• Administration Officials- Saying he would not have lobbyists in his administration---- LIE!!! Do a Google search for these characters, either appointed czars, or cabinet members. Here's a few examples:
• Van Jones (Technology Czar): Fired for believing 9/11 was an inside job by the Bush Administration. Also an admitted Communist.
• Cass Sunstein (Czar of Information): His words: "Under our proposal, the word marriage would no longer appear in any laws, and marriage licenses would no longer be offered or recognized by any level of government." Also believes animals should be able to sue humans, and believes animals have the same rights as humans.
• Linda Douglass: Saying her favorite philosopher was Communist General Mao Tse Tung.
• Kevin Jennings, Safe School Czar: Openly promotes homosexuality in schools. Didn't report a rape case when a student told him about it when he was a teacher.
• Steve Rattner, (Car Czar): Steve Rattner is one of the most troubled of Obama's many picks thanks to a burgeoning kickbacks scandal.
• John Holdren (Science Czar): Believes life doesn't begin at conception, but at whenever we want it to begin. "They aren't humans until they've been socialized." Also, he promoted the sterilization agent in drinking water.

Healthcare mess passes in House

On Saturday night, the healthcare mess, which includes a public option, passed in the House by a 220-215 vote. All Republicans, sans one, voted against this bill. In addition, 39 Democrats voted against the bill. And there would have been dozens of more Democrats who would have voted against the bill had Democrat Bart Stupak's provision of not including funds for abortions been included in the bill.

Now we learn that the liberals in the House are going to strip away the bill that would not fund taxpayer abortions, therefore allowing our tax dollars to pay for abortions. This will not only lose the 1 Republican in the House, but it will lose Stupak, and many other Democrats.

Don't you just love it when a political party keeps shooting themselves in the foot?

An another thing- Didn't this President promise bipartisanship? How is that working out for us? Well, things will be a changin' when we hit the 2010 elections.. Nighty Night Donky!!

Big GOP Night

The first step to the GOP regaining its footing as the party in power. Gubernatorial candidates Bob McDonnell (R-Virginia) and Chris Christie (R-New Jersey) won decisive matches in this off year election. Here are a few nuggets that can be gained by these elections, leading up to the 2010 elections:

1. Virginia- In a state that Obama won by 7 points, Republican McDonnell won by 18 points. That's a 25 point swing. Although this is not all Obama's fault, the majority in Virginia disapprove of his presidency. This includes such important Virginia issues as Cap and Trade and Card check.
2. New Jersey-In a state Obama won by 15 points, Christie won by 5 points. That's a 20 point swing. For those Obama apologists who say it didn't matter much after the loss, take note that Obama made 6 campaign stops for Democratic loser Jon Corzine. This includes the Sunday before the Tuesday elections. So this DOES matter.
