OBAMA did NOT kill Bin Laden

"Let's be clear on this...OBAMA did NOT kill Bin Laden. An American Sailor, who Obama just a few weeks ago was debating on whether or not to PAY, did. In fact, if you remember a little less than two years ago, his administration actually charged and attempted to court-martial 3 Navy Seals from Seal Team Six, when a terrorist suspect they captured, complained they had punched him during the take down and bloodied his nose.

His administration further commented how brutal they were...The left were calling them Nazi's and Baby Killers. Now all of a sudden the very brave men they vilified, are now heroes when they make his administration look good in the eyes of the public.

Obama just happened to be the one in office when the CIA finally found the bastard and our Sailors took him out. Essentially, Obama only gave an answer. Yes or No, to him being taken out. This is NOT an Obama victory, but an AMERICAN victory!

Where are they?

After Katrina, the media blamed the lack of response on the Bush administration's dislike of black people.

Can we then conclude from the lack of media coverage and response by the Obama administration that Obama doesn't like white people?

Where are the Hollywood celebrities holding telethons asking for help in restoring Iowa and North Dakota and helping the folks affected by the floods? Where is good old Michael Moore?

Why is the media NOT asking the tough questions about why the federal government hasn't solved this problem?

......Asking where the FEMA trucks and trailers and food services are?

Why isn't the Federal government moving Iowa people into free hotels in Chicago and Minneapolis ?

When will Spike Lee say that the Federal government blew up the levees that failed in Des Moines ?


Where are Sean Penn, Bono, and the Dixie Chicks?

Where are all the looters stealing high-end tennis shoes, cases of beer and television sets?

When will we hear Governor Chet Culver say that he wants to rebuild a 'vanilla' Iowa ... because that's what God wants?

Where is the hysterical 24/7 media coverage complete with reports of shootings at rescuers, of rapes and murder?

Where are all the people screaming that Barack Obama hates white, rural people? My God, where are Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt,
Oprah, and Ray Coniff Jr?

How come you will never hear about the Iowa flooding ever again? Where are the gov't. bail out vouchers? The government debit cards?

More people died in these floods than from Katrina...how come the media doesn't report that?!!!!! There must be one hell of a big difference between the value of the people of Iowa and value of the people of Louisiana .
HERE'S THE REAL TRUTH:

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF THE MEDIA, AND SOON TO BE GOV'T. CONTROL OF INTERNET, CELL PHONES, RADIO AND ALL COMMUNICATION AS WELL AS THE PRESENT NETWORK NEWS ON TV.

It was just a dream

Dear President Obama:

I am writing today with a somewhat unusual request. I ask that you return America to its August 20th, 1959 borders so that Hawaii is no longer a state and you are no longer a citizen. Thank you for your cooperation.


Yours Truly,

Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu

Obama sides with Palestine

Obama sides with Palestine

What unbridled arrogance! Obama has told Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu that Israel needs to move their borders back to their 1967 positions – a move that Netanyahu, not surprisingly rejected.

As I looked at the Associated Press photo of Obama, the arrogant, with nose in the air and speaking to his subjects I was reminded of former dictators addressing their minions. Disgusted doesn’t begin to cover what I felt as I heard of the patently arrogant, asinine and stupid gall of Obama. This President has certainly gone above and beyond any measures that I ever would have thought he would go to in order to alienate the U.S. form any allies we ever had and attempt to befriend every enemy we’ve ever had. At what point to we stop looking the other way and begin impeachment proceedings against Obama?

Israel is the gateway to the west and Obama, the arrogant has decided (ruled) that the U.S. would take sides with the Palestinians. Let me rephrase that, the people of the U.S. aren’t buying into the notion of supporting terrorists but our President has ruled that we will.

Obama is quoted as saying that he want to assure Netanyahu the United States commitment to Israeli security is “unshakable”. Unshakable?? Do you really think he believes the bravo sierra coming from your mouth when he has eyes to see the path you’ve been on since taking power? “Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.” – The Great OZ.

This latest act of epic stupidity on the part of the President simply boggles the mind!
According to Obama, “The status quo is unsustainable.” Your Presidency is unsustainable, Mr. President.

At every turn this President has sought to weaken and destroy America. It is time for the masses to stand up and begin working in earnest to defeat this President in the upcoming 2012. We need a referendum that will send a clear message to all that this President doesn’t speak for us and that real “hope and change” is coming – for the better.

Ewwwww that smell!

Ewwwww, That Smell. Can’t You Smell That Smell?

To quote the lyrics in the song by Lynyrd Skynyrd, “Can’t you smell that smell?”

It was Nancy Pelosi who kept telling us that we had to pass Obama care to see what was in it. Turns out she may have already known what was in it.

20% of all Obama care waivers went to Nancy Pelosi’s district. Am I the only one who believes this administration is the most corrupt in U.S. history? Please tell me all Democrats aren’t as corrupt and conniving as Reid, Pelosi and Obama.

Reid and Pelosi have managed to get a whole cornucopia of waivers from a health care bill that was supposed to be so great. If it’s so great, why are they asking for a waiver for folks in their districts? It’s a rhetorical question; we already know the answer. It’s because the plan stinks more than the latrine door on a tuna boat!

These people shouldn’t be holding office – they should be in a defendant’s chair of a court house, answering questions about their dubious activities and backroom deals! I can’t understand how they can even stand to look at themselves in the mirror in the morning.

They say that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Nowhere is that more true than when it comes to Reid, Pelosi and Obama. Now we have former Obama White House Chief of Staff as mayor of Chicago, that bastion of crooked politics. Where does it end with these people!

As for the people of Chicago, they voted for Emanuel; they deserve what they got. The same can be said of those who voted for Obama’s ‘Hope and Change’. So how’s that Hope and Change workin’ out for you? Are you making more money, now that Obama is President? Are you paying less or more for gas and groceries since Obama became President? Do you feel the presence of more transparency in politics like Obama promised or do you see backroom deals and a President out of control when it comes to spending, vacations, golf tournaments and lavish parties while telling the rest of us that we need to tighten our belts and sacrifice?

A lot of folks voted for Obama to prove to themselves that they weren’t racist. A small note: Obama’s mother is white. Some were intimidated by the new black panthers standing outside voting polls with night sticks in their hands – a federal crime which Attorney General Eric Holder won’t pursue. Some voted for Obama because they thought he was going to give them things. Hopefully people will vote against Obama this time to prove to themselves that they aren’t complete morons.

This leads me to something else. Newt Gingrich was quoted as saying President Obama is the “President of food stamps”. The far left media has suddenly turned the statement into claiming the statement is racist. How? It’s factually correct. More people are on food stamps during Obama’s presidency than in any other time in American history. They are claiming the food stamp comment is clearly aimed at black people. Huh?? I would opine that nothing in the statement even remotely suggests that it’s aimed at blacks or any other group of people. I would also suggest that if more blacks are collecting food stamps during Obama's term than under any other President; than the statement is factually correct.

The Democrats and the far left media are in the tank for Obama. This President and the lame-stream media are the most arrogant and deceitful that I’ve ever seen and set the bar high when it comes to double standards.

There is no doubt in my mind that the next generation of ACORN will raise it’s ugly head when it comes time for Obama to run again – not that he ever left campaign mode.

We must remain vigilant to voter fraud and we must get the apathetic out to vote. Vote for real Hope and Change; not what we’ve got from Obama – rhetoric.

Great analysis from Mychal Massie


Posted: April 19, 2011
by Mychal Massie

At a time when many Americans can barely afford Burger King and a movie, Obama boasts of spending a billion dollars on his re-election campaign. Questioned at a recent appearance about the spiraling fuel costs, Obama said, "Get used to it" – and with an insouciant grin and chortle, he told another person at the event, who complained about the effect high fuel prices were having on his family, to "get a more fuel-efficient car.."

The Obamas behave as if they were sharecroppers living in a trailer and hit the Powerball, but instead of getting new tires for their trailer and a new pickup truck, they moved to Washington. And instead of making possum pie, with goats and chickens in the front yard, they're spending and living large at taxpayer expense – opulent vacations, gala balls, resplendent dinners and exclusive command performances at the White House, grand date nights, golf, basketball, more golf, exclusive resorts and still more golf.

Expensive, ill-fitting and ill-chosen wigs and fashions hardly befit the first lady of the United States. The Obamas have behaved in every way but presidential – which is why it's so offensive when we hear Obama say, in order "to restore fiscal responsibility, we all need to share in the sacrifice – but we don't have to sacrifice the America we believe in."

The American people have been sacrificing; it is he and his family who are behaving as if they've never had two nickels to rub together – and now, having hit the mother lode, they're going to spend away their feelings of inadequacy at the taxpayers' expense.

Obama continues to exhibit behavior that, at best, can be described as mobocratic and, at worst, reveals a deeply damaged individual. In a February 2010 column, I asked, "Is Obama unraveling?" I wrote that it was beginning to appear the growing mistrust of him and contempt for his policies was beginning to have a destabilizing effect on him.

At that time, I wrote that not having things go one's way can be a bitter pill, but reasonable people don't behave as he was behaving. He had insulted Republicans at their luncheon, where he had been an invited guest. I had speculated that was, in part, what had led him to falsely accuse Supreme Court justices before Congress, the nation and the world, during the 2010 State of the Union address.

It appeared, at that time, as if he were "fraying around the emotional edges." That behavior has not abated – it has become more pronounced. While addressing the nation, after being forced to explain the validity of his unilateral aggression with Libya, America witnessed a petulant individual scowling and scolding the public for daring to insist he explain his actions.

But during an afternoon speech to address the budget/debt, he took his scornful, unstable despotic behavior to depths that should give the nation cause for concern. Displaying a dark psychopathy more representative of an episode of "The Tudors" television series, he invited Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis.., to sit in the front row during his speech and then proceeded to berate both Ryan and Ryan's budget-cutting plan. Even liberal Democrats were put off by the act. MSNBC's Joe Scarborough questioned the sanity of Obama's actions.

Today, criticism is coming from all sides. A senior Democrat lawmaker said, "I have been very disappointed in [Obama], to the point where I'm embarrassed that I endorsed him.. It's so bad that some of us are thinking, is there some way we can replace him? How do you get rid of this guy?" ("Democrats' Disgust with Obama," The Daily Beast, April 15, 2011)

Steve McCann wrote: Obama's speech "was chock full of lies, deceit and crass fear-mongering. It must be said that [he] is the most dishonest, deceitful and mendacious person in a position of power I have ever witnessed" ("The Mendacity of Barack Obama," AmericanThinker..com, April 15, 2011).

McCann continued: "[His] performance was the culmination of four years of outright lies and narcissism that have been largely ignored by the media, including some in the conservative press and political class who are loath to call [him] what he is in the bluntest of terms: a liar and a fraud. That he relies on his skin color to intimidate, either outright or by insinuation [against] those who oppose his radical agenda only add to his audacity. It is apparent that he has gotten away with his character flaws his entire life, aided and abetted by sycophants around him. …"

With these being among the kinder rebukes being directed at Obama, and with people becoming less intimidated by his willingness to use race as a bludgeon, with falling poll numbers in every meaningful category and an increasingly aggressive tea-party opposition – how much longer before he cracks completely?

The coming months of political life are not going to be pleasant for Obama. Possessed by a self-perceived palatine mindset, that in his mind places him above criticism, how long before he cracks in public? Can America risk a man with a documented track record of lying and misrepresenting truth as a basic way of life, who is becoming increasingly more contumelious?

Mexican officials delivering migrants to kidnappers

Mexican authorities fired seven immigration agency regional directors in the states of Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Tabasco, Oaxaca, Mexico, San Luis Potosi and Quintana Roo.

The regional directors were fired amid allegations that they were delivering Central American migrants to kidnapping gangs. I'm mortified! The kidnapping gangs reportedly have reportedly been extorting money from the migrants or recruiting them for drug trafficking.

Why am I not surprised. Contrary to what Mexican President, Felipe Caldrone would have us believe, Mexico is corrupt from top to bottom. Of course if you listen to the balderdash of Caldrone, Obama and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, it’s all the United States’ fault – we supply them with guns. Not so much. That’s already been debunked and we now know that our own ATF has deliberately facilitated thousands of firearms going to Mexico; some that have been tracked to murders. Of course they want to disarm American citizens; it would make us easy targets like the migrants who wind up beheaded if they don’t cooperate.

Make no mistake, lots of money comes back to Mexico from Mexicans in the U.S. illegally. That’s reportedly Mexico’s second largest source of income. I’m not sure where taxpayer money sent to Mexico by our Presidents in the form of “aid” comes in.

An estimated 400,000 illegals cross through Mexico each year to the U.S. And of course any babies they have here automatically become U.S. citizens. And to add insult to injury the rest of us have to pay all of the medical bills in the form of increased rates for us and they will automatically receive a whole cornocopia of benefits in the form of food stamps, welfare, housing breaks and more. That of course gives them more time to go to rallys to protest America, burn the American flag and demand even more preceived Rights for being here illegally.

Meanwhile there are thousands of immigrants who came here legally, are hard working, tax-paying members of society who are justifiably outraged. They played by the rules and now they’re watching these law-breakers go to the head of the line in the name of partisan politics. Pissed? You bet! I would be if I were them.

Meanwhile they just found 8 more decapitated bodies dumpe along the road, following the mass graves containing 196 (so far) corpses. Note to President Obama: This is the difference between “corpse” and “corps”. ie: Corpmen – not corpsemen.

You're joking, right?

Bill Clinton Thinks we need an Internet Agency Truth Detector

Forgive me Sheriff Dupnik for the perceived vitriol that I’m about to speak; for it is all true.

In a CNBC interview that aired May 06, 2011 opined we need an Internet agency created by the U.S. government or United Nations to debunk malicious rumors that originate and spread online. May I be so bold as to ask if we’re talking about rumors like the ones that were raised during your Presidency that accused you of having sex with a young intern by the name of Monica Lewinsky? You know, the one where you looked at the camera, bit your lower lip, wagged your finger at the camera with eyes squinted and said, “I never ever had sexual relations with that woman.”? Oh, that’s right, you later had to admit that you lied to the American public and gave a tearful apology.

Of course Bill, in true Liberal fashion says it should be on the taxpayer dime. “Somebody needs to be doing it, and maybe it’s a worthy expenditure of taxpayer money.” He claims, “I think it would be a legitimate thing to do.” Of course keep in mind that he thought Monica was a “legitimate thing to do”, too. Leave it to Liberals; they’re always willing to put our money where their mouth is.

Clinton believes that if such an agency were formed it would have to be “totally transparent”. I’m sure he’s speaking in the school of Obama and Nancy Pelosi. We would have to approve it to see what was in it.

At least he he’s suggesting oversight by those bastions of non-partisanship like the United Nations or NPR. You’re joking, right? What he’s talking about is the thing the Democrats have been pushing for a long time, the so-called “fairness doctrine”. It’s fair so long as the Democrats agree with it. If you don’t; you’re spewing vitriol and foregoing civility. SHAME ON YOU!

I’m thinking that, either he’s crazy or thinks we are. In his defense I’ll offer that at least he didn’t leave a stain on the entire country like the current President has.

President Obama’s approval raising goes to 60%, right?

President Obama’s approval raising goes to 60%, right?

Not so much. Despite all the media outlets like Yahoo, etc. claiming Obama’s approval ratings at 60% don’t put too much into it.

It should come as no surprise The Associated Press has always been a liberal rag. You can slant words using what’s known in the biz as a ‘style book’. When you want to discredit someone you don’t say, “So and so said…” You say, instead, “So and so claims…” That’s how it works in a nut shell.
You can’t slant the numbers without deception, though. And that’s exactly what the AP poll did. In theory you interview as many people on one side of the issue as the other to get some moniker of accuracy.

What AP did was pure deception. When they call someone to be polled they know ahead of the question if they are Democrat or Republican. The poll used twice as many Democrats as Republicans to arrive at their 60% approval rating.

The Rasmussen Poll, which has always been pretty much dead-on had Obama with a slight trail of about two percentage points.

So when one of your liberal friends (why would you have liberal friends?) tries to throw the 60% approval rating lie at you, you’ll know how to respond – not that they will care. Their mind is made up.

A little background on the handling of the Bible versus the Koran

Interesting a must watch Video difference in treating the Bible( Including the Torah) & Koran


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErzxOz3Dzv8&feature=player_embedded#at=194

Ya mean there is a double standard with Democrats?

Ya mean ther is a double standard with Democrats? I'm mortified!

Here’s Nancy Pelosi from a press conference on September 7, 2006:

[E]ven if [Osama bin Laden] is caught tomorrow, it is five years too late. He has done more damage the longer he has been out there. But, in fact, the damage that he has done . . . is done. And even to capture him now I don’t think makes us any safer.

And here’s Nancy Pelosi yesterday:

The death of Osama bin Laden marks the most significant development in our fight against al-Qaida. . . . I salute President Obama, his national security team, Director Panetta, our men and women in the intelligence community and military, and other nations who supported this effort for their leadership in achieving this major accomplishment. . . . [T]he death of Osama bin Laden is historic. . . .

This devastating then-and-now comparison comes to us courtesy of John Hinderaker of Power Line. It underscores the degree to which partisanship can ravage people’s fair-mindedness and, in the process, make them look like fools and hacks. Such things aren’t uncommon in politics—but what is rare is to see such intellectual dishonesty proven so conclusively.

Snopes

So, is Snopes really "the definitive Internet reference source for urban legends, folklore, myths, rumors, and misinformation"? Inquiring minds want to know.

I received an email with a message about exposing Snopes. I decided to do a little research. The results were interesting.

Just out of curiosity I went to Snopes and asked, "Is Snopes heavily financed by George Soros?"
The reply was:
Sorry, no matches were found containing Is Snopes.com heavily financed by George Soros?.

We're sorry you didn't find what you were looking for. Please try again, this time basing your search on one or two words you deem central to the item you are looking for. Because many items circulate in numerous forms, often this slight shift in strategy will locate articles that a search on a specific string or title missed.

However this was the Google add above the message:
Overcoming Hatred Against Europe's Largest Ethnic Minority - See How
Soros.org

The following email was sent to me and the author appears to be Randy Keith:


Subject: SNOPES EXPOSED! PASS THIS ON FOR SURE


We-l-l-l-l now, I guess the time has come to ‘check out’ Snopes!

Ya' don't suppose it might not be a good time to take a second look at some of the stuff that got kicked in the ditch by Snopes, do ya'?

We've known that it was owned by a lefty couple but hadn't known it to be financed by Soros!

Snopes is heavily financed by George Soros; a big time supporter of Obama!

“In our Search for the truth department, we find what I have suspected on many occasions.

I went to Snopes to check something about the dockets of the new Supreme Court Justice, Elena Kagan who Obama appointed and Snopes said the email was false and there were no such dockets so I ‘Googled’ the Supreme Court, typed in ‘Obama-Kagan,’ and guess what?

Yep you got it; Snopes Lied!

Everyone of those dockets are there.

So Here is what I wrote to Snopes:



Referencing the article about Elena Kagan and Barak Obama dockets:

The information you have posted stating that there were no such cases as claimed and the examples you gave are blatantly false.

I went directly to the Supreme Court’s website, typed in Obama Kagan and immediately came up with all of the dockets that the article made reference to.

I have long suspected that you really slant things but this was really shocking.

Thank You,

I hope you will be much more truthful in the future.



That being said, I’ll bet you didn't know this.

Kagan was representing Obama in all the petitions to prove his citizenship.


Now she may help rule on them.

Folks, this is really ugly.

Chicago Politics; and the beat goes on and on and on.

Once gain the US Senate sold us out!

Now we know why Obama nominated Elana Kagan for the Supreme Court.

Pull up the Supreme Courts website, go to the docket and search for Obama.

She was the Solicitor General for all the suits against him filed with the Supreme Court to show proof of natural born citizenship.

He owed her big time.

All of the requests were denied of course.

They were never heard.

It just keeps getting deeper and deeper, doesn't it?

The American people mean nothing any longer.

It's all about payback time for those who compromised themselves to elect someone who really has no true right to even be there.

Here are some websites of the Supreme Court Docket:

You can look up some of these hearings and guess what?

Elana Kagan is the attorney representing Obama!

Obama still trying to tell us the border is safer than ever

Barack Obama claimed Tuesday in an immigration speech in El Paso that his administration has gone “above and beyond” what Republicans asked for in border security.

Obama cites the addition of more Border Patrol agents and the drop in apprehensions of illegal border crossers and, believe it or not the low violent crime rates in U.S. border cities.

Really? Really?? Ok, how ‘bout a little reality check. That speech may fly with people who may have been living in a drug tunnel between the Mexican and American border for the last few years or those who would agree with you even if you said black is white and day was night. It would sit well with those here illegally but it won’t fly with those of us who live eighty-five miles from the Mexican border and don’t have to take your word for it.

The reality is we have Border Patrol agents testifying that they are under orders to turn around (“go north”) if they catch illegals or drug dealers near the border. The reality is Obama and his band of political gang-bangers are suing Arizona for doing the feds job that they refuse to do. The reality is, despite what former governor and current Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano continue to spout, the border is NOT safer than ever! The violence along the border is growing exponentially and is coming further and further on this side of the border. That, President Obama is the reality – not this fantasy myth that you and your cronies want to peddle to the American public in hopes of becoming a two-term dictator.

Each day there is an increasing number of bodies found missing their heads. Each day there are more bodies found in mass graves and strewn about the border cities. That President Obama and Secretary Napolitano is the reality. To pretend it is what it isn’t and to aid and abet is criminal and you and those who do so should be held criminally libel. And to think Attorney General Holder wants to hold CIA agents responsible for enhanced interrogation is just appalling. The CIA agents helped protect Americans – something your administration (regime) can’t claim.

Obama was quoted as saying, “All the stuff they’ve asked for, we’ve done,”. “But, I suspect there’s going to be some that are going to move the goal posts on us one more time.” Let’s be clear Mr. Obama, you haven’t done the things you promised and I have a whole file to document it. What you’ve done is hand us a turd and tried to sell us on the idea that there is a clean end to it.
Obama went on to say, “Maybe they’ll say we need a moat? Maybe they’ll want alligators in the moat,” Obama said. “They’ll never be satisfied. And I understand that, that’s politics. But the truth is that the measures we’ve put in place are getting results.”

Apparently Barack fancies himself as somewhat of a comedian. “Missed it by that much, Chief.” And the fact remains, despite your claims to the contrary, your measures haven’t produced results, unless, of course you’re speaking from the cartel’s viewpoint or the viewpoint of those hoping for the demise of this great country.

Obama called for those Republicans who walked away the last time demanding more border enforcement to now come back to the table and finish the work Congress started. Perhaps in the same fashion that the Democrats in Wisconsin did, perhaps?

“Today, the immigration system not only tolerates those who break the rules, it punishes the folks who follow the rules,” Obama said. You’ve just described your immigration policy to the letter, Mr. Obama. Now you just need to realize you’re talking about your own policies and not those of someone else.

Obama was booed loudly when he highlighted the administration’s building of border fences. Gee, why do you think that is and who do you think was booing you, Mr. President? Think maybe it was predominantly those who are here illegally?

As the old saying goes, don’t pee down my back and tell me it’s raining. What you’re selling is a lemon and we aren’t going to buy it again in 2012.

How much mess did Bush really leave Obama

How much of a mess did Obama really inherit form President Bush?

I was talking to a man today about the killing of Ben Laden. He was telling me how impressed he was with Obama planning the military operation to get OBL. I told him Obama couldn’t plan a bowel movement. He immediately whipped out the liberal’s standard mantra, “Well he’s better than the previous President.” I told him that no George Bush apologist am, I but I’d take exception to his factual accuracy. He responded with another Liberal catch-all, “He inherited George Bush’s big deficits.”

Ok, time to set the record straight on this much-repeated pile of flatulence. I realize the Kool aid (see Jim Jones if you don’t know who they were) drinkers will not be swayed by the facts but here we go anyway.

There are three branches of government, the legislative branch that makes the laws and controls the purse strings, the judicial branch that carries out the laws that Congress passes and the executive branch, aka: The President, who can not make law but has veto power.

Obama, like a talking doll has a limited number of responses and declarations. The one used most is the, “I inherited this mess from the previous administration.” line. To George W. Bush’s credit he’s stayed above the fray and has refrained from engaging in the finger-pointing his successor has brought to an art form. But then Bush has some class, something Obama will never understand any more than he appreciates the sacrifices our military men and women make.

A President can neither create a budget deficit nor a budget surplus. So when you hear the stories about the so-called “Clinton surplus” remember that the Congress was controlled by the Republicans at that time. That surplus was the first in 40 years. Coincidentally, it was the first time the Republicans controlled the Congress in 40 years.

When Obama was elected to the White House with a little help from his friends at ACORN (vote early and vote often), he inherited a deficit that was created by the Congressional Democrats at a time when Barack was in the Senate and was one of the biggest spenders.

While it is true Bush should have vetoed more of those spending bills, some that he approved of, the fact remains the Democrats controlled the Congress.

Until the recent 2010 mid-term elections the Democrats controlled the House, the Senate and the White House. Still, the President insists on whining like a little baby (my apologies to any babies who were offended by that statement) that he inherited this mess from Bush.

It is Barack, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid in the, until-only-recently-Democrat controlled Congress and Senate who created the massive deficit we now have. I particularly like the jobs created by his ‘stimulus’ bill that were created in Arizona’s 93 Congressional district. Much like Obama’s “57th” state, the Arizona 93 Congressional district doesn’t exist. I live in Arizona and we only have 13.

Most of the mess we’re in is compliments of the Congressional Democrats pushing the banks to make risky loans to people who couldn’t afford them. Most notably were Barney Frank and Senator Christopher Dodd. Unfortunately too many spineless Republicans went along.

In 2004 President Bush said that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac needed oversight the Democrats cried, “Foul” and played the race card; claiming the Republicans just wanted to keep poor people from buying a home. Ah, there’s that race card, again. The Dems know it will bring all but the strongest Conservatives to their knees. They suddenly find themselves defending against racism charges instead of having a substantive debate about the real issues and facts. That’s why I’m not intimidated by their tactic and will gladly engage those folks on a substantive debate and shut the race card down mo ricky tick (A Marine Corp term).

So the next time a Liberal hits you with that tired old heaping helping of bovine flatulence, tell them to get their facts straight and educate them. Many voted for Obama to prove they aren’t racist. Perhaps this time they’ll vote against him in 2012 to prove they aren’t morons. Nah, never happen. Their mind is made up and they won’t be swayed by the facts.
