Are You That Stupid?

Things Never Change

I was watching a news report today and heard President Obama say “There are still a lot of folks hurting out there. And my job as president of the United States is not to worry about my job — my task is to worry about their jobs and their economic situation”. He has not changed at all…. always saying what he KNOWS people want to hear.

And for him to say he is not worried about his job.. all I can do is just laugh yet be sad that our country is under the leadership of such a man. If he is not worried about his job then why does he not stay in the White House instead of traveling across the country to build public support for the package as was reported. Sounds like he is on the campaign trail to me. But that is just my opinion.

I hope America wakes up to Obama’s manipulation and keeps him from getting another term in office. He can blame others all he wants to but HE and his followers in Washington are the reason this country is in the condition it is in today.

If this country is ever going to move forward the Congress and Senate are going to have to stop acting like babies who need their diapers changed every 2 hours. They need to grow up and work together as they were elected to do.

According to records published by the USDA’s Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion, the cost of food has sky rocketed from June 2005 to the present.

The information, including detailed charts, on the cost of foods over the years is available from http://www.cnpp.usda.gov/USDAFoodCost-Home.htm

According to the presidential tracking poll, only 19 percent of American voters approve of Barack Obama’s performance. Forty-three percent of Americans strongly disapprove of Obama’s performance.

The Rasmussen Reports Web site says that only “16% believe the nation is generally heading in the right direction.”

The Obama Approval Index says that his approval rating has been in a downward spiral since June of 2009.

Football fans love the game more than President?

Pemba — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 22:48:30 +0000

Football fans apparently became very concerned about the timing of Obama’s “jobs speech”, so much so the White House had to let football fans know the time would not affect the game.

The speech is now scheduled for 7:00 p.m. The Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints begin at 8:30 p.m.

Are you a football fan? Do you think the game is more important than Obama’s speech?

Obama’s Uncle Omar

AYTS — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 14:58:25 +0000

Michaelle Malkin writes in her latest article “Another deportation fugitive in the Obama family“:

In November 2008, Barack Obama’s unemployed illegal alien aunt who had been living in public housing for years received special dispensation from the Bush administration despite evading deportation orders for years. Despite failing to win an asylum bid and despite ignoring a judicial determination that she return home, Zeituni Onyango won another bid in the immigration court system.

And then came Uncle Omar. The brother of Auntie Zeituni and half-brother of President Obama’s father, “Omar” Obama Onyango was arrested for drunk driving over the weekend

Libertarians say ‘no’ to raising debt limit

AYTS — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 15:17:56 +0000

WASHINGTON – As Republicans and Democrats in Washington continue chewing the scenery in their ‘Debt Limit Theater,’ Libertarian Party Chair Mark Hinkle released the following statement today:

“Everything I’ve heard from Washington politicians about the debt limit is nonsense. I propose the simplest option: Do nothing. Don’t raise the debt limit, period.

“None of the deals I’ve heard would do anything to cut federal spending. Some reduce the rate of growth a little bit, but I’m afraid that doesn’t count.

“And of course, some of the proposals would increase taxes, which Libertarians are totally opposed to.

“The best outcome would be no deal at all. If the debt limit is not raised, then the federal government will have to cut its spending by over 40%. That would be the best outcome for the future of America, and it’s certainly the preferred outcome for Libertarians. (It reminds me of the World’s Smallest Political Quiz, produced by the Advocates for Self-Government, which includes the libertarian option to ‘Cut taxes and government spending by 50% or more.’)

“I’m actually shocked at how resistant both the Republicans and Democrats are to making cuts. I wasn’t expecting much, but their proposals are downright embarrassing.

“For example, consider Speaker Boehner’s plan. According to the Cato Institute, the Boehner plan doesn’t cut spending. It just sets the spending increases slightly below the imaginary Congressional Budget Office (CBO) ‘baseline.’

“According to the CBO report released yesterday, the Boehner plan has practically no effect on the deficit in 2012, the only year that really matters. In fact, the Boehner plan actually increases Pell Grant spending by $4 billion in 2012. (So does the Reid plan in the Senate.)

“Of course, the Reid plan largely takes advantage of massive errors in the CBO baseline to claim ‘cuts.’ (For example, the CBO predicts absurdly high levels of spending for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.)

“As usual, Republicans and Democrats are trying to create the illusion of a high-stakes game between two vastly different visions. In fact, their visions are practically identical. I hope Americans will see through all the smoke, and consider the Libertarian option to make real reductions in the size and scope of government, across the board.”
