Obama…So Many Mistakes…So Little Time

It's March. Only March. In so little time, no other President of this country has managed to make so many mistakes. Obama has definitely proved that many were right with their fears of him going through "on the job training." So far, in my book, he's getting a big fat "F" in his training.

After all, we all make mistakes, but really…how many mistakes do you have to make there Mr. President? It's getting ridiculous. He almost makes the amateurish Clinton mistakes look petty. Americans should be more worried than ever about this President ever handling a real crisis, such as 9/11. Here's a few of the recent mistakes Obama has been making.

Mistake #1 - Picking "Schoolyard" Fights with Pundits
Since when did Presidents focus their attention on fights with pundits? It's like a silly fight in the schoolyard. Apparently the Obama Administration thinks it needs to go out there and spend valuable time criticizing the Sean Hannity's and the Rush Limbaugh's out there. The very thought that anyone would criticize the president. The audacity. Watch out folks…freedom of speech is about to go out the window. Since when did Obama have the time to even care what people were saying? I thought he had his hands full with the economy?

Mistake #2 - Not Understanding What "Vetting" Is
Apparently "vetting" is a term that President Obama just doesn't understand. It's about time that he learn the meaning. After all, the guy still doesn't have all the positions filled. People keep "reconsidering" or quitting because they have legal problems coming to light. Half the people he picks end up in tax investigations. I guess he's giving us a clue about the people he enjoys keeping company with. No wonder we have a bad economy!

Mistake #3 - Blowing Off Eastern European Countries - Czech Republic and Poland
While Bush 43 spent so much time working on better ties with countries in Easter Europe, especially the Czech Republic and Poland, Obama has been trying to "secretly" blow off these countries. He sent a letter off to Dmitri Medvedev saying that they'd leave these two countries without missile defense if only Russia would help to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Of course Russian didn't go with the deal, and the letter became public knowledge. Now these two countries know that Obama was willing to sell them off to the Russians who already are intimidating these countries. Absurd!

Mistake #4 - Continuing to Ruin Ties with Britain
Of course then there is the way that President Obama continues to ruin the ties we have with Britain. Britain is one of our greatest allies…or that is they WERE. As I've mentioned before in a post, Obama made a huge deal about sending back their Churchill Bust that was a gesture of goodwill. Then he treats the British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, very badly while he was visiting. The press conference they were supposed to have together was totally blown off by Obama, and then he gives the PM a set of DVDs of classic American movies after being given a gift that was priceless - a pen holder that was made from the timbers from the HMS President, which was a British warship from the 19th century. It's not hard to see why Britain was offended. It appears that Obama doesn't want much to do with Britain…he's too busy courting and wooing those Middle Eastern countries and all his Muslim relatives.

Mistake #5 - Bad Mouthing the Economy and Creating More of a Crisis
Last of all, President Obama continues to bad mouth the economy at every turn. Instead of giving Americans hope, all he does is talk the country and economy down. He's always talking about a crisis, and meanwhile he's making a bigger crisis. It seems that the more he talks ( not to mention when the tax cheat Geithner talks) the stock market continues to go down. We have seen the lowest numbers since 1997 (Clinton was in Office) in the past few days, and Obama has definitely been one to help it get there. Even Democrats with financial knowledge recognize that Obama is making a bad problem worse.

Of course I don't have time to tell you about all Obama's mistakes...I don't think Blogger will let me post that much at once. These are just a few of the big ones. What do you think? Do you want a president that makes mistakes at every turn? I Don't!!!

"We are not Quitters" - A Look at Obama's Address to Congress

I'm sure many of you heard or watched President Obama's address to Congress last night. It was painful for me, since I've never been a fan of listening to the man's speeches. However, I was struck with one thing about his speech - his stories.

This is one story that Obama told last night regarding 8th grader Ty'Sheoma Bethea:

"I think about Ty'Sheoma Bethea, the young girl from that school I visited in Dillon, South Carolina - a place where the ceilings leak, the paint peels off the walls, and they have to stop teaching six times a day because the train barrels by their classroom. She has been told that her school is hopeless, but the other day after class she went to the public library and typed up a letter to the people sitting in this room. She even asked her principal for the money to buy a stamp. The letter asks us for help, and says, 'We are just students trying to become lawyers, doctors, congressmen like yourself and one day president, so we can make a change to not just the state of South Carolina but also the world. We are not quitters.'"

I must admit, I had conflicting thoughts about this story. On the one hand, the story was touching. I must admit, President Obama has always done well at picking out stories for his speeches. The idea that an 8th grader would write to Congress and the President for help was interesting, touching, and her quote, "We are not quitters," is even inspirational. However, let me tell you about my other thoughts.

One hundred years ago, students didn't write to Congress for help. It's a sign of the times we live in that a student would even think to write to Congress for bailout help for their school. Through the 200+ years that this country has been around, many kids have attended schools in less than perfect conditions. They did not quit. They became doctors and lawyers, congressmen, and even president. Yet the didn't have to ask Congress and the President for help.

I don't mean to make light of this girl's story. However, I have to wonder when we became a nation that always ran to the government for help. Making a change in the world is a wonderful thing…why should government help be needed to do it. I believe this story sadly shows that many of the youth in our country seem to have a huge dependence on the government to help them realize their dreams. This is NOT the American dream. The American dream includes making your own way, following your own dream, and achieving it on your own.

Let's just take a look at Abraham Lincoln, since he appears to be one of Obama's favorites. Look at this man's beginnings. He was born in a log cabin with one room in Kentucky. He had poor parents. His mother died while he was young. Lincoln actually only had about a year of "formal education." He learned what he could from others and from books. Still…he became the 16th president of the United States…and no one "bailed" him out with money from the government.

These bailouts have to go. The youth of this nation must learn to "Never quit" even without help from the government. Greatness is something that comes from within - it has nothing to do with the school building you have, the teachers you have, or the amount of money your school district gets from the government.

I would definitely urge today's youth to never give up. Work towards a future where you can change the world. Just don't expect the government to be the one to help you accomplish this. Over time I've heard too many kids try to blame their school, their neighborhood, or their poverty for where they ended up in life. Life is what you make of it. You choose who you become. Let's stop looking for the government to define our success. Let's get back to the REAL American Dream!

Obama Coddles Muslims and Insults Britain, One of Our Greatest Allies

With all of President Obama's coddling of the Muslims these days, one very small story has gone by almost unnoticed. While he has been making "nicey nice" with Muslim leaders, he decided to send Winston Churchill's bust back to the UK.

The bronze bust of Churchill has been on loan to the United States from the UK for the past eight years. They offered to allow Obama to continue to keep the bust for another four years as a gesture of good will. Obama sent it back.

It appears that Obama doesn't want to have Churchill around. Of course that's not hard to believe with the strong stance Churchill has always taken against Socialism. Here's what Churchill had to say about socialism:

"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

Some British officials are not quite sure how to take this rejection of their offer. It was given to President George W. Bush right after 9/11 as a sign of solidarity and a relationship between the two countries.

Now you have to wonder, will these bonds between the United States and the UK continue to be so strong? Is this a message to the UK that Obama doesn't want anything to do with them? Have we just offended one of our strongest allies?

You definitely have to wonder why Obama would reject such an offer from the UK. He plays the nice card with Muslims, telling them that America wants better relations with them. Meanwhile he insults the British…

What do you think?

President Obama Wants to Give You $13

Well, the "stimulus" bill passed. Sadly.

A look at the 1000+ page bill found a lot of spending and very little tax cuts. However, there is good news. If you make less than $75,000 a year, you will get a tax cut. In fact, this year you'll get a tax cut that will average out to about $13 a week. Of course next year in 2010 that tax cut goes down, and you'll only be getting about $7 a week back.

What a tax break! (right) Wondering what that money can get you? Well, I wanted to give you a visual on all that our president is offering you. Below you'll find pictures of what you can get for $13, and things you can get for $7. You'll be shocked at the generosity of Mr. Obama.

For $13 you can get the things in either of these two pictures:

Food items for $13


Non-grocery items for $13


For $7, in 2010 you'll get your choice of these things:


Food items for $7


Non-grocery items for $7

Now don't you feel much better about that stimulus bill???

Happy Valentine's Day President Obama

I just had to share this cartoon with you all for Valentine's Day. Enjoy!

When Breaking the Law Becomes a Mere "Mistake"

In the past few days, if you've been following the news, you've heard a whole lot about mistakes. Funny, I've heard about criminals breaking the law, but when it comes to Democrats in the past few days, they have only been making mistakes.

Take a look at Timothy Geithner, Tom Daschle, Nancy Killefer, and even Charlie Rangel. They've all made mistakes. Geithner, who has been confirmed as Secretary of the Treasury (shame on you Republicans who allowed this) made a mistake that came out to $34,000 in taxes he didn't pay…or should I say he "Forgot" to pay them.

Then there's Tom Daschle, who ended up withdrawing his name from being Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. He made such a big mistake that he ended up having to pay more than $140,000, which includes interest, to the IRS.

Of course then Nancy Killefer had to withdraw from being the chief performance officer because she made a big mistake and didn't pay the payroll taxes for the help in her home. Then you have Charlie Rangel, he's on the House Ways and means Committee, and he didn't pay his takes either…another mistake?

Funny how these criminal activities have simply been turned into mistakes. If you or I didn't pay our taxes, I doubt we'd get away with calling it a mistake.

Even President Obama himself referred to Tom Daschle's offenses as a mistake, saying: "Tom made a mistake…" Remember, Obama was the one who said during his campaign that he would run the "most ethical administration in history." Interesting how he ends up picking out people who make so many mistakes.

So, I have to wonder…how many more mistakes are we going to see in the next four years?

Excuse Me Mr. President........It's Me...The United States of America...

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States." - Presidential Oath of Office


By now you've probably heard the news of President Obama's first interview. Maybe it's just me, (probably not) but I'm a bit put out. Obama chooses his first television interview to be to Al-Arabiya television? He'd rather speak to the Arab world than to his own people? Now pardon me if I'm wrong, (probably not) but isn't he supposed to be the President of the United States of America? (I know, I'd rather not admit it either)

I'm finding myself a bit confused. I thought that Obama promised to be the President of the United States in his oath of office, garbled though it was. So, why may I ask has he decided that he first and foremost needs to speak to his "family," the Muslim people in Arab countries? I guess all the people that elected him, and those with brains who didn't, don't matter much to Mr. Obama…at least that is how it would appear.

For the first television interview of a United States President, you would think that a President would come out to the people of his country. You'd think that he would call them his family, that he would reassure them during these tough times, that he would be convincing us of his stake in the well being of the United States.

Apparently this was the furthest thing from our President's mind. Instead he spoke to the Muslim world, communicating instead that "The United States has a stake in the well being of the Muslim world." Over and over again he brought out that he has Muslim members in his family, something that he tried to cover over and over again during this past election. Then he went on to state that his job as President is to "Communicate to the American people that the Muslim world is filled with extraordinary people who simply want to live their lives and see their children live better lives."

Since when was this the President's job? Not to mention, I feel highly insulted that Obama has such a bad view of Americans. It's like he felt he had to go apologize to the Arabs for the "bad behavior" of a naughty child. I can't speak for you, but I’m no naughty child!

Now after President Obama's speech was completed, which by the way took place so late at night in the U.S. that no one really knew about it until the next day, the Arabs got excited. In fact, Reza Aslan, who is an Islam apologist went on CNN to comment on how "giddy" he was about the interview and how Obama was putting himself in place to be a "Bridge between the Muslim world, between the United States and the Middle East."

I'm extremely disappointed that our President feels the need to go placate the Arab world, while leaving his own country in troublesome times. There were no words of comfort to Americans dealing with hard economic times. No assurances to Americans that their next paycheck was going to be there. It's like this man became the diplomat to the entire Arab world instead of President of the United States.

While I'm not opposed to reaching out to other's around the world, the last thing we need is a "back patting" session with the Arabs right now. Our president doesn't need to be spending his time reassuring them - he has a country to run.

So, excuse me Mr. President…it's me…the United States of America. If your family reunion is now over, can you please come back and run our country? (probably not)

"I Have a Dream" - Is Obama Fulfilling the Dream or Creating a Nightmare?

Since the inauguration of President Obama has taken place, there have been many blogs and articles written, not to mention newscasts, that mention the idea that Obama is our first African America president. While I'm not sure he actually qualifies as a true "African American" he is part white and part Kenyan, meaning he is the first half Kenyan to take the office of President of the United States.

In any case, this truly has been a historic event. It does prove how far this country has come since the civil rights movement first began to take place. I definitely must sit back and ponder the significance of the event; however, when I look at the man that has been a part of this historic event, Barack Obama, I must admit to being disappointed. After all, I, as Dr. Martin Luther King, had big dreams of how it would be when the first African American became president. I had visions of an African American that really ran on the "dream" that Dr. King once had.

If you take a look at those who were deeply involved in the civil rights movement, the ones that Obama likes to identify himself with, you'll find that they were people of deep integrity. Take the time to research some of the names of those who participated in the civil rights movement. There were men like Jessie Owens who would show the world his character and equality in the Olympic Games in Berlin, even though he was greatly attacked for his color. Of course Dr. King himself was a well respected reverend with integrity and high ideals.

For a minute take a look at one line from Dr. King's speech. Most people don't look far beyond the "I have a dream" phrase. Read a bit further. Dr. King states, "I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."

Here is the crux of the matter. People should be judged by their character. We should be looking at the content of character that people have, not the color of their skin. Well, let me ask you this - what exactly is the content of Barack Obama's character? How many people even have stopped to look beyond the color of his skin to ask about his character?

Sure, politicians like to bring up Martin Luther King when he fits their agenda. So, why did we never hear much about the "content of character" where it pertained to Barack Obama in the 2008 election? No one wanted to explore the bad associations of Obama, they only wanted to look at him as some type of "Savior" or "Messiah" figure who they thought would solve the nation's problems. After all, when interviews were done of random people in New York City, most of them knew little of Obama, and many had never heard the name of his running mate Biden. This lets you know how much Americans have been taking the time to judge men by character.

So, what exactly do we know about the content of Obama's character? Well, let me clue you in to what you may not know.

Look at Obama's character, and you'll find that the socialism runs deep. You can't get around it - socialism is a part of his character. The evidence is clear. He has actually had endorsements from socialists groups in past elections that he ahs won. One group, the New Party supported him in 1996 when he was running for a state senate seat in the state of Illinois. This New Party actually is a branch of what is known as the Communist Party USA.

Another thing you'll find out about Obama's character when you take a close look is that he's associated with cheaters. Take a look at ACORN. Obama used ACORN as a part of his "Get out the vote" during this past election. This is a group that has been proven to cheat.

You'll also find that Obama hangs out with thieves - another look at his true character. After all, consider his relationship with the former CEO of Fannie Mae, Franklin Raines. This man helped to destroy Fannie Mae and walked away a rich man. This eventually ended up leading to the crash of the national economy. Raines walked away with $90 million in tax payers' money after being fired, then became a consultant on housing issues for Obama's campaign. This is a man that Obama calls a closer advisor????

Take another look at Obama's inauguration festivities. You'll quickly find he's really not a big friend of the poor. In fact, the party and festivities came to more than $170 million dollars. Yes, you read that right! No how many Americans could have been helped with that money? People can't pay their mortgage, can't buy food, can't afford clothing, and this man spends millions on his party. Now that's some character.

Start looking into Obama's close friends, and you'll learn more about his character. To name a few of his friends and associates, you'll find he has had relationships with Tony Rezko, Governor Blagojevich, Bill Ayers, and Jeremiah Wright. His role models include socialists like Saul Alinsky. It's often been said that you can tell a whole lot about a man by the company he keeps. Well, Obama's associates speak for themselves.

Sadly in this past election we have seen race become more important than character. Unfortunately, although we have a "half black" man in office, we still have not realized the "Dream" that Martin Luther King had. Character has now taken second place to race. It's sad that today we still have not figured out the meaning of what Dr. King had to say. If you look beyond race to character, Obama definitely comes up short. So, this is no dream coming true for Americans today - it's the start of what I fear will be a very long nightmare.

"I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." - Dr. King

Back After a Hiatus

Hi there to all my readers.

I know it's been some time since I have posted. Unfortunately, due to medical difficulties I've been unable to post for sometime. However, we're back and ready to get back into the groove again. Stay tuned for political information geared specifically to conservatives, and especially the conservative women out there today.

Now, before I close, I just have to make a few political comments. Since my last post, Barack Obama has become our president, and I must say I'm already upset at the way he is running his administration. Let me give you a few examples.

First of all, he has a tax evader as a part of his cabinet, Geithner. This man will be overseeing money and treasury affairs and advising the president, yet he skipped out on his taxes to the tune of thousands. President Obama...what exactly were you thinking? Oh yes...that's right...you weren't.

Another issue is the closing of the prisons in Guantanamo Bay. Now we're bringing the terrorists here. Some of them are going to get away with their crimes. Since when did we give terrorists special rights? It's war time...they attacked our country...our people died...and now Obama is going to make sure they get "fair" treatment.

Let's not forget the Mexico City Policy, which is a ban on the funding for international groups that fund abortions. Within his first two days, Obama lifted this ban so that now we can give our governments money to international groups to help out with abortions around the world. How sick!!! It's not enough to kill babies in our country, but now we are funding it around the world? No wonder we are in an economic crisis.

With these three bad decisions that have been made already, I'm a bit leery of the future with Obama as our president. Within two days the man made two disastrous decisions that are despicable. What's next?
