voters remorse anyone?

Don't know if any of you bothers to listen to Spendbama's speech on Tuesday but all I got from it was 'second world nation' here we come. For the first couple weeks of his presidency I was curious, now I'm not, I'm scared. I believe with all my heart that he's taking our country in the wrong direction. Yes his speeches make all the used car salesman jealous, he's good as long as he's got a teleprompter....but it's all fluff, when you start looking at any substance that 'leaks out'(he isn't one for a lot of details) things don't add up. Reinstating the 'scary gun ban' because it'll help Mexico with their drug cartel problem...the BS flag is a waving...when will the left learn that gun control doesn't work because the only ones it hurts are the people that obey the laws!

There were a lot of other things I wanted to rant about but I've got to head over to Donner to figure out why the cam isn't working.

Obama may have started his term with a crappy economy but in one signature he claimed it as his. 787 billion dollars is just the beginning of what he wants to spend. Does anyone honestly believe that he'll be able to tax the rich enough to meet his lofty goal of cutting the deficit in half? Here's a little hint how the media is going to help him - by "including" the war and everything else he "said" Bush left out of the budget, well he's going to give up on Iraq, he's going to cave in on Afghanistan, he's going to cripple our military worse than Carter and Clinton did and with a few puffs of smoke and some mirrors he'll cook the books to make himself look like a hero.

I truly hope people wake up...the Republicans share a lot of blame for how our nation's health was a month ago but again, between the two idiots running the House and the Senate and Obama....it's all on them now and I fear for our future.

CNBC isn't so thrilled either and they're not exactly known for harsh words against this President.

what's all the fuss about?

So the wonderful Al Sharpton needed to make sure everyone remember who he was...the press needed something besides the economy to write about...and it seems like this cartoon was the distraction they were looking for.

Now when I first saw it I didn't think about Obama until the press pointed it out...and even still I don't see it. He didn't write the bill and he'll only want to take credit for it if it works...so all I see is the artist using the other chimp story and tying that and the stimulus together...not very well. Seems like a non-story to me. But since the media would rather have this in the headlines instead of how the DOW fell yet again I figured I'd put up a LINK for some of the quality cartoons that the left didn't think would offend anyone.

isn't the campaign over?

So for those of you that have signed all those papers when buying a home do you remember how you felt when you actually saw just how much you were going into debt? Well, we all now own a piece of that 787 BILLION dollar debt our new leadership signed before reading. Boy...I sure do feel good about it!

Do you remember the fiasco that was played all over the media when the automakers flew to DC in their private jets...did you hear that both AF1 and AF2 were flown to Denver for the historic signing of debt? Lets see...automakers flying in small business jets...AF1 is a 747 and AF2 is a 757...not exactly small business jets. Oh and does anyone care about what other aircraft are also flown when ever the President or Vice President travel? A lot more than you'd think. A lot more....and they're not small business jets...ok so one of them is but the other several aren't. Do you think they fly the several helicopters that travel in his bubble there? Nope, they're loaded in a plane and flown there. How about his limo? Is that driven...nope, that's loaded in a plane too. How about the vehicles that the Secret Service use? Yep, loaded in planes.

Now I'm not complaining about all of the stuff required to protect the President, it's needed and that's the price we pay, it's a lot but it's worth it. Same for the VP, he needs it. My gripe is that this trip and his follow on visit to Phoenix seems to be something more like a campaign style trip than one that has substance to it. Flash over substance though is what I see Obama being all about so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. He likes his spiffy plane (his words, not mine) and he's enjoying the perks that goes with the office he holds. Honestly, I can't fault him for that, Lord knows if I was in that position I'd be getting a kick out of the perks too...I just think when we're telling everyone to tighten their belts, spend wisely and don't fly to DC when asking for money that maybe, just maybe this bill could have been signed in the capital of waste, Washington DC. Do as I say, not as I do...I am seeing more politicians follow that saying then not and I wish the citizens of this nation would use their voice at the ballot box to get the point across that we're tired of that.

ying and yang...

So last night I did something out of the ordinary....I went out. A very good friend of mine that I frequently refer to as my favorite libtard, TheBoy and two of her friends were up in the area this weekend and had planned on going to see some dueling pianos. Well I couldn't pass up a chance to see her since it had been well over a year so even as anti-social as I am, well I had to go. I'm glad I did!!

So what's with the ying and yang...well on the up side I'm getting to see friends that I haven't seen in some time, I've reconnected with some I haven't talked with in YEARS and I'm happy that's one of the positive things for me now that I'm on the West Coast again. The flip side is I miss my friends back on the East Coast and while I know it'll be a while before one in particular is able to make it out here I am really looking forward to the day she and her hubby visit so I can show them a lot of the great things this side of the country has to offer.

Now I've got to do something I haven't had to do it about a year...go to bed at a decent hour so I am rested for work the next day... YEA for work and a pay check...BOO for no more life of leisure. :)

keep your eyes on this one...

THIS is one of those stories that I'm curious to see how it unfolds. I'm rather emotional about this story because a friend of mine lost her brother in that attack and I was stationed on the same class of ship and if it had happened to my ship I would have either died or been seriously injured due to the proximity of my workspace to where the bomb went off.

I'm curious what President Obama will say to those families when he meets with them...

One lesson our President and a majority of this nation's citizens needs to learn is that you can't judge everyone in the same court system that we're entitled to. Yes it'd be great if reality worked like that but there needs to be ways to deal with situations such as this along with the hundreds that have happened and will happen. We need to find a balance between our beliefs and principals while keeping our nation safe from those that have no regard for life and whos goals is to see our distruction. We can't give up on either so keep an eye on this administration and see what happens...

another point of view...

To give the proposed economic stimulus plan some perspective, "if you started the day Jesus Christ was born and spent $1 million every day since then, you still wouldn’t have spent $1 trillion."

taxes are voluntary?

the clip is about 4.5 minutes long but it's amusing to watch Senator Reid tap dance around his defination of a voluntary tax system. I get that he's trying to say that there are voluntary ways to minimize the amount of money you send to the IRS but the end point is that we are all required to 'contribute' a percentage of our earnings...one way or another.



Maybe it's because of this type of thinking that so many politicians seem to have problems with their taxes?
