Nancy Pelosi Running For Dogmatist Of The Year

Quote of The Day:

This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer.

Will Rogers (1879 - 1935)



Nazi Nancy Pelosi said That the failed Republican policies of George Bush drove the USA into the recession and financial meltdown of 2008. All during 2009 and 2010 she praised Obama nonstop for his relentless efforts to attain his legacy with the takeover of the health care industry by him and his fellow socialists. Obama, Biden, Pelosi and their comrades need to be reminded that Bush inherited a great big mess from Slick Willie Clinton. One country offered to turn over Osama bin Laden to The USA for his attacks on U.S. embassies during his administration. He refused the offer, wanting the Saudis to take custody of Bin Laden. One of my worst "what if" scenarios is what if the Supreme Court did not uphold Bush's election in 2000 and Al Gore was president when The September 11 attacks occurred. I doubt Gore would have responded half as quickly and effectively as Bush did.
Also, the Bush Administration tried to rein in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac but the House Financial Services Committee stonewalled his efforts to protect their 2 cash cows. Click here and here to view my earlier posts on this subject.

Another Quote On The U.S. Debt

"The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion for the first 42 presidents – #43 added $4 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back — $30,000 for every man, woman and child. That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic." Presidential Candidate Barack Obama in Fargo, ND Campaign Event July 3, 2008

Remember, Barack Obama would not wear a U.S. Flag lapel pin on the campaign trail, preferring to find other methods for expressing his love for the USA and all it stands for; The U.S. Constitution and the rights it protects.

A Quote and an Observation



"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government -- lest it come to dominate our lives and interests." - Founding Father Patrick Henry

I just read an interesting article on the "Debt Runup Race" between George W. Bush and Barack H. Obama. Bush took 96 months to add $4.9 trillion to the U.S. debt. In 31 months Obama added $4.0 trillion to the U.S. debt. Is Bush a slacker compared to the overachieving Obama?? Or is it the other way around, Bush is an overachiever in fiscal responsibility compared to Obama's tax and spend, rinse and repeat approach to the U.S. debt problem??? Unless Obama really puts the brakes on the pending train wreck of the U.S. debt, I think Obama's one term spending will make Bush look like a penny-pincher, not a common characteristic of a U.S. politician, regardless of party.

President Obama Going Bipolar Over Corporate Jets

In Wednesday's raging rant presser against Republicans over the debt limit extension, he specifically named corporate jet owners as a group the Republicans should deny any tax breaks to in order to help lower the deficit without cutting taxes and spending. This struck me as peculiar for at least two reasons. President Obama's stimulus bill encouraged purchase of large manufactured goods, corporate jets included, by offering accelerated depreciation. Accelerated depreciation allows corporations to write off more of the jet's purchase price on their tax returns. The goal was to get companies spending to help the economy, especially the ailing aviation industry. In September 2010, Mr. Obama signed the H.R. 5927, the Small Business Lending Fund Act. This bill also offered tax breaks for companies that purchased corporate jets. Mr. Obama said in Wednesday's speech, “I’ve said to some of the Republican leaders, you go talk to your constituents, the Republican constituents, and ask them are they willing to compromise their kids’ safety so that some corporate jet owner continues to get a tax break.” Quite a change of attitude, wouldn't you say?

I cannot imagine any private corporation, no matter what size it is, using a Boeing 747 to haul their CEO and senior executives around. Mr. Obama frequently uses Air Force 747s for his travels. According to Boeing, the 747 gets 5 gallons per mile. That is no typo folks, 5 gallons of jet fuel per mile. Mark Knoller, CBS news reporter, found this out from Boeing so he could report this on Mr. Obama's trip to DEs Moines, Iowa, to plant a single tree for earth day. Let's face facts, folks, Obama is just another limousine liberal. Do what I say and not what I do because I am smarter, wiser and better than you.

gutsycall.com . . .unbelievable

On 4 May, 2011 someone purchased the domain name "gutsycall.com" at GoDaddy.com. This person(s) also bought a privacy service where the owner's name is not given but refers to a GoDaddy subsidary so the public cannot find out the true owner of the domain without a court order. When someone types gutsycall.com into their browser's address bar, they are redirected to barackobama.com. Of course, the Obama administration is denying they set up the website or bought the domain name. I'm certain there are a few fans of BHO who would do this for him. No matter who did it, BHO still has to contend with our huge national debt, high unemployment and increased states resistance to obamacare. Let's not forget the immigration issue and the crime problems on the Mexican border. If BHO thinks he can sit on the laurels of bin Ladel's death and it will turn into a magic carpet to deliver him to November 2012 with popularity he has a lot to learn. One of the best things to come out of bin Laden's death, aside from the death itself, was a recent public opinion poll. Despite the Lamestream Media's talking airheads constant praise of BHO and his 18 hour delayed gutsy call, most Americans attribute the demise of bin Laden to the combined efforts of the CIA and the US Armed Forces. It is reassuring to know that common sense is still alive and well among the American people.

Latest Revelation From the White House

President Barack Obama made the earth stand still the other day when he revealed that Osama bin Laden had a support group within Pakistan!! I was quite flabbergasted since I would never had thought it was possible. Granted, OBL did stay there for several years; granted, he was very close to a Pakistani military academy and 3 Pakistani army regiments and he was in a neighborhood full of retired Pakistani military officers. I would never have connected the dots together to reach that conclusion. Maybe I should get a Harvard Law Degree. Nope, I don't want to become a socialist and despise the USA.

next stop . . . Armageddon

The end of days is near, folks.  Nancy Pelosi, former speaker of the House of Representatives and ardent critic of the Bush Administration's failure to quickly capture OBL, (see my 5/3/2011 post) called George Bush (he is such a lucky ducky) to thank him for his efforts that made OBL's capture possible.  What's next?  Hopefully, Obama will morally rejuvenate himself and admit the patient care and protection act is a 2000+ page pile of porkulus in dire need of repeal.  Ha Ha Ha, I'm such a dreamer.

Interesting fact on Oil Taxes

Remember when Obama said that BP would pay for all damages caused by the Gulf of Mexico oil spill? I just learned that there is an 8 cent per barrel tax on all crude oil drilled in or imported into the USA. The tax monies go into a fund to reimburse the Coast Guard and other government agencies expenses incurred to contain and clean up oil spills. If BP has to reimburse these expenses, can they apply for a refund of the tax they already paid into this fund? I doubt it. If President Obama is so concerned about sparing the American taxpayers any losses from these spills, he should donate all the campaign contributions received from the oil companies. He got the biggest contributions from them, it's time for Obama to practice what he preaches and spread some of the wealth oil companies spread his way into this fund. It would show his sincerity behind earlier promises about transparency in government and no lobbyist influence. Will this happen? Probably not.

The First Lady is Smoking Hot!!!!

I saw a picture of President & First Lady Obama walking down Pennsylvania Ave on January 20. The Prez had his overcoat buttoned up, probably due to the ambient air temperature of 20 something fahrenheit. The First Lady had her coat open. Unless she had thermal underwear on, I don't know how she could not feel the chill in the air. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that she was born and raised in Chicago, the windy city on the shore of Lake Michigan. President Obama was raised in much balmier climates( Hawaii, Indonesia & Kansas) so it would be natural for him to button up his overcoat. Oh well, just more proof that opposites attract! Maybe Barack's balmy nature and Michelle's Chicago heartiness will make for a winning team in the White House. Let's hope so.

Why a car czar creeps me out.

During the oil embargo of the early 1970s, President Nixon appointed James Love as Energy Czar to head the newly formed Federal Energy Administration. Now we are stuck with a cabinet level agency, the Department of Energy in its place. Did we really need another bureaucracy in the first place? I don't think so.

My concern is a Car Czar will transform itself into another large bureaucracy. Thank goodness President Bush did not appoint a Czar for 31 days, he just left the responsibility with Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. The Treasury Dept. is funding the auto bailout so they should oversee the use of the funds.

My advice for President Elect Obama is this. Make a list of all the government agencies that GM Ford and Chrysler have to deal with now. I'll get you started with the obvious, departments of Labor, Commerce, Transportation, EPA. These are just a few cabinet level federal agencies. Don't forget the various and sundry state and municipal governmental entities they deal with. Is another large bureaucracy going to make the Big 3 manufacturers into instant turnarounds? No, it will only strain their ability to turn a profit, the basic ingredient of a viable recovery.
