10 Things that Make You Go Hmmmmm About the "Obama Era"

You've more than likely heard about the things that make you go hmmmmm. Well, I've come up with my list of 10 for the Obama era. Read them and no doubt your response will also be "hmmmmm."

#10 - The Largest Spending Bill Ever - The stimulus bill that was recently passed was the largest spending bill that has ever been proposed and passed. Of course Obama still proclaims he's going to take control of the deficit. Doubtful!

#9 - ACORN Will Never Be Investigated - While there is evidence that ACORN was involved in voter fraud, it will never be investigated - at least not while Obama is president.

#8 - Socialism Has Become a Savior - In the past months all we hear is doom and gloom talk about our economy. However, Obama and his "cronies" always like to bring out that becoming more like Europe (essentially a style of socialism) would supposedly keep the U.S. from going through another depression.

#7 - Obama Has Broken Practically Ever Campaign Promise - In just over a month as president, Obama has broken almost all of the promises that he has made…and people thought Bush broke promises??? So much for big tax cuts, so much for cutting the deficit, so much for transparency for Washington. None of it has happened.

#6 - Many Moderate Republicans Continue to Go Along with Democratic Policies - The party has been destroyed by some of these "moderate" republicans in the past few years. They continue to do so by pushing democratic policies, such as big government and big spending. In fact, some of them even voted for the stimulus bill instead of holding out. If the three republicans in the senate had not voted for the bill, it would not have passed.

#5 - Obama Worship - People literally worship Obama. It's ridiculous. He's just another politician, full of lies, yet many people literally worship him. Not only is it disgusting…it's also very sad.

#4 - The Treasury Secretary is a Tax Cheat - Tim Geithner, who is now the Treasury Secretary can't even deal with his own taxes. He's a known tax cheat, and now he's in charge of the treasury….hmmmmm.

#3 - The Government has Destroyed the Banking Industry and Wants to Nationalize It - It was the government that help to destroy the banking industry. Now they are using this problem to now try to nationalize banks. Like we really need the government controlling banks. They've done enough damage.

#2 - We Now Spend Billions Rewarding Those that Don't Pay Their Mortgages - With the new stimulus bill and the new housing bills out there, people who don't pay their mortgages are getting rewarded. They get a huge break, funded by the rest of us working hard to pay our own bills. Perhaps they shouldn't have purchased homes they couldn't afford.

#1 - Without the Stimulus Bill We Could Have Ended the Recession Earlier - New reports are showing that we could have been out of the recession by the middle of this year. Experts actually believe that the stimulus bill could extend the recession even longer. 2010 may still see us in a deep recession…I just hope the right people get the blame.

Things that make you go hmmmmm!

Stimulus Cartoon

I found this cartoon after I posted today's blog, but it was so good and went along with my blog so well, I just had to share it with you all. Enjoy.

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???
