In today's news is this 70 year old lady from Iowa who is selling her two television sets because she is sick and tired of seeing Obama's face in all the channels. Somehow that tired feeling resonates with me. I have also developed a new technique. Each time I hear that stupid radio commercial about volunteerism that starts out with, "Hi. I am president Barack Obama. . ." I turn the knob to another radio station or turn the radio off completely. Then I run to the bathroom to puke. I can't stand this man's face plastered all over the television channels all the time even when he has nothing of substance to say.
There is something in Obama's voice that makes me sick. The sight of his face or the sound of his feigned commanding voice, "I want it done NOW!" as if he is some kind of emperor talking to kindergarteners, is enough to give me fits. It is then that I realize this man who occupies the White House is one of the greatest impostors of our time.
He freely calls himself "president" yet refuses to prove his legitimacy with his long form birth certificate. You can ask the White House Secretary and he will ridicule you as his way of not answering the question. Is this being open and transparent or is Obama hiding something from the American people? He claims to be educated, yet he fails to produce even his kindergarten school records, his Occidental college records, his works at Columbia, his works at Harvard. But he sure can party on $100 a pound Kobe beef imported from Japan. He sure can fly all over the world with Air Force One on a whim or to go watch a show on Broadway with his wife Michelle Obama. Never mind that the people are starving to death and are out of jobs. The little emperor has to have his way.
Like this healthcare bill or Obamacare, for instance. What can be so critically important that we have to rush this bill through without so much as a debate let alone time to read the 1,017-paged bill? Why is Rahm Emmanuel using strong arm techniques and the Chicago way to get this bill passed? Why is Nancy Pelosi sitting on these Blue Dog Democrats until they are close to asphyxiating so that they wind up relenting and voting for this nefarious bill?
I am so sick and tired of this thug. God help America.

What I Find Most Troubling
From my limited point of view and most uneducated opinion, I have been trying to do the math on president Obama's healthcare plan and it just doesn't add up. If on one hand it is true that there are 47M people who are currently uninsured but 85 percent of the people (255M) are quite happy and satisfied with their healthcare insurance program coverage, why should it be necessary to overhaul the entire system that is working in order to insure the 47M? It doesn't make sense.
The president is not willing to look at tort reform in order to put a cap on frivolous malpractice lawsuits and those runaway penalties that render even the most successful doctors to rethink their profession.
This 1,017-page bill hasn't even been read by the president least of all the people who are expected to vote on it.
What is clear to me is that president Obama wants to grab more power. The more power the government can exercise over the people, the more dependent on government the people can become.
President Obama keeps on telling lies about how people who are currently insured may keep their insurance, select their own doctors, and opt for the care that is best for them. This is such a flagrant lie he should have the decency to blush even while reading his teleprompter. He knows he is lying but it doesn't matter as long as he achieves his planned ends.
The sad part about this whole game of charades is that there is nobody representing the people's interests. The Democrats have the majority everywhere. They are unopposed. They are ramming down our throats this most insidious healthcare bill much like they railroaded the stimulus and the cap and trade bills.
The situation is becoming more and more hopeless. What are we citizens to do? Our own representatives and Senators are on the payroll of the president. The media is state run and also on the same payroll.
I am asphyxiating in my own little world. The government of president Obama has taken all the oxygen from the water. Somebody help.

"The Cambridge Police Acted Stupidly. . ."
Since when did the President of the United States of America have the time to deal with local issues such as this event involving Professor Gates and the Cambridge Police? Is the president's office so all encompassing in its power and control over the whole country that he has to comment on such local incidents in order to help solve and rectify the situation?
Another way to look at it is, is the president's office so devoid of more critical matters to attend to, matters such as, healthcare, the cap and trade bill, the stimulus package, the war in Afghanistan, the war in Iraq, the nuclear ambitions of Iran, the missile launches of North Korea, the myriad Czars being appointed left and right, and the deficit spending? Is the president trying to prove that truly he is the Messiah, the anointed one who is indeed omniscient and all knowing?
By commenting thus, President Barack Hussein Obama has taken the office of the presidency a full notch down the measuring stick. Or is this kind of knee jerk behavior purely a black, cultural act to get right in there and be part of the "hood" - in acting in your face? I have seen this kind of activity in the black community. All it takes are two black people discussing something and you would think they were at war with each other or that they were totally agitated. Could it be that he is just showing his ACORN-learned techniques of community organizing? Could it be that he is not too far removed from the likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson after all?
How can the Cambridge Police be accused of acting stupidly by doing their job to the best of their ability? Is it because they arrested one of Obama's friends? Or is it because Obama learned his brand of prejudice from sitting in the pews of Rev. Wright's church? Or is it because the mask of amiability, coolness, and being educated is finally unravelling and the real Obama is emerging into view?
I am very offended personally by President Obama's lack of statesmanship and piddly antics all in the name of being articulate and educated. I don't believe George Washington Carver would have acted this way. I don't think Louis Armstrong would have acted this way. Of course these two great black men were from a different age and era. Obama could learn a thing or two from these great black men.

When I Was a Kid
Crawling on the floor I really wanted tp put my hands on that object that sat atop my mother's coffee table. It was made of glass and it had pretty flowers in it. I have never seen anything that looked so beautiful. I was too short and small to grab it with my hands outright; I needed a plan.
Lifting myself up by my tiny hands solidly planted on the edge of the coffee table, I lifted my body up to the level of the coffee table. The object was so close I could almost just reach for it. It was then that my grandmother saw what I was trying to do and she immediately came to rescue the object from my wrecking ball hands. I protested vehemently. Crying and screaming I really wanted that beautiful flower vase.
My grandmother was a master at devising distraction. With her free hand she started shaking her key ring. I still had my eyes fixed on the flower vase that she securely held in her other hand. She made so much noise with her key ring that the sounds and the dangling objects finally pried my attention away from the flower vase. My attention now redirected, I ceased my crying and began to reach out for the key ring.
Obama, his cabinet, including all his czars and Congress are experts at the art of distraction. Imagine them using the death of Michael Jackson to pry our focus and attention away from the Cap and Trade legislation long enough for them to craft the bill and ram it down our throats. They are doing the same thing with their healthcare bill. They are using the Sonia Sotomayor confirmation hearings as a distraction. In the dark of night and in the secrecy of their smoke-filled backrooms they are feverishly crafting yet another expensive killer bill to push through their socialized medicine, single payer system of government run health insurance. Who is minding the store?
A few Republicans are trying to have their voices heard but the din and cacophony created by Nancy Pelosi's gong wielding dogs is just too much for the soft-spoken, polite, inept if not docile Republicans. It is obvious to the most casual observer that this one party rule is not doing the country's economy any good. It is not doing small business any good when the president himself, instead of lowering taxes, is raising taxes. It is clear that people who hate America have taken over the reins of government and are overreaching.
Will the people wake up in time to make the 2010 elections count and make a difference? We shall see.

Government Healthcare
From where I stand this much I understand: that we need to examine the healthcare system that we currently have today and ask how we can improve on it to include those who are too poor to afford health insurance.
Rushing through a piece of healthcare legislation that nobody has had time to read and analyze is not a solution to the stated problem. This is what the Democrats are trying to do. Rush this legislation just as they did with the Stimulus package. Their claim is that if they don't get this legislation through by a certain date, it would mean that all of America will go through a catastrophic and debilitating event. And we can't have that.
It is a game that these people in Congress are playing and it is the health and welfare of the American people they are playing with. The Democratic majority's agenda is aided by the incessant harping by Barack Hussein Obama. He injected healthcare in his July 4th speech. He injected healthcare in his Michigan speech. I could be a smart mouth here and claim that the reason why his teleprompter crashed to pieces was that it could no longer withstand the lies Obama's telling.
What makes Congress think that the government can do a better job at administering healthcare rather than the private sector when the evidence of their ineptitude and mismanagement is shown all over the Medicare - Medicaid programs not to mention Social Security that is nearly broke?
What makes people who believe in government think that their government can do a better job at administering healthcare rather than private industry when all they have to do is to look at how the United States Post Office has gone broke, the DMV is totally inefficient, and the state of California is bankrupt - all totally run by the government?
Are people so ignorant and uninformed so as to give the government such powers to exercise over them? Are people not aware of the healthcare situation in Canada? In the UK? In Europe? Are people not aware of how inefficient socialized medicine can get when there is no more money to spend? Are people ready to pay more and more taxes to prop up the government and its programs?
What is wrong with people's thinking? Have Americans stopped thinking critically? Rationally? Objectively?

De Tocqueville's America
...America is good, that is what makes America great. If the day ever comes when America is no longer good then America will no longer be great. I paraphrase the words of French historian De Tocqueville that he spoke about America upon visiting it in the 1800's.
Is this statement still good in today's America? Well, from where I stand, I know that there are pockets and communities of good, God fearing Americans still living in America today. They are quickly dwindling down to only a few though. What has happened to America is not unusual. People have lost their spiritual bearings, their wonder and awe of the supernatural, embracing their own human genius as the main reason for their success. Americans have changed their allegiance, from God to the almighty dollar. They have decided to serve Mamon.
Some preacher declared that the most dangerous place in America today is in the expectant mother's womb. The helpless, innocent child is left to fend for itself in the face of the abortionist's unceasing onslaught. If America's mothers do not value the lives of their unborn children, how can America be good? If husbands and fathers do not honor their responsibility to their wives and children, leaving them to fend for themselves, how can America be a good country? If families are broken and the basic unit of society lies in shambles, how can America still be a good country?
This coming fourth of July I want to celebrate De Tocqueville's America - an America that is good and great. I want to praise and thank God for all the gifts He has compassionately poured upon this nation. I want to thank and praise God for taking care of our soldiers and military in uniform who keep watch and who guarantee our freedoms. July fourth should bring us to the realization that we as a people have strayed from the paths of righteousness and that we ought to come back to our original bearings as a God fearing people.
Let us therefore come together and celebrate our good way of life this coming Independence Day. Let us prayerfully ask God to deliver us from all evil, deliver us from harm, and keep us safe and forgiving of the trespasses of others. We are a free people. Let us give thanks and praises to whom it is due. God!
Where is the Birth Certificate?
Dear President Obama,
I would like to respectfully submit the following questions for you to answer.
I would like to respectfully submit the following questions for you to answer.
- According to the Constitution, a president must be a "natural born" citizen of America. Why is it so hard for you to provide a copy of your long form birth certificate to answer this question about your eligibility to be president? This would once and for all answer all lingering questions about your legitimacy.
- Why are you backing the reinstatement of Honduran ex-president Zelaya? Isn't Zelaya advocating extending his term in office that is contrary to the Honduran Constitution of term limits? Isn't Zelaya supported by the likes of Chavez and Castro? Your support of Zelaya seems contrary to America's best interest as the beacon of freedom for the world.
- Why have you quadrupled the deficit? If it is true that you have inherited a deficit from the other administration, why have you endeavored to increase the deficit instead of trying to reduce it? Why are you spending money that is not there?
- What are you doing about North Korea's rampant and flagrant missile testing?
- Why are you pushing the Cap and Trade Energy Tax Bill? Why are you so intent in raising our taxes instead of insisting that government operates within its reasonable budget and to stop wastefulness?
- Why are you trying to socialize healthcare by insisting that the government can do a good job at managing healthcare when in fact the government can't even effectively manage the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)?
- Why does the Executive Branch of government want to take over the census? Is it perhaps so that you can use ACORN to rig the lists of eligible voters?
- Why can you not take questions from random press members during your press conferences and answer them accordingly? Why do you always have to pre-arrange and pre-assign the questioners and their questions that they can ask? Why are you rigging the press conferences? How is this supposed to enlighten the public on what you are doing on the job and where you stand?
- Why do you always have to use a teleprompter? Why can't you speak extemporaneously if you are so educated, articulate, and brilliant as the media have made you up to be?
- What right did you have to fire the CEO of General Motors and to strong arm Chrysler into bankruptcy? What right did you have to promote the union members first before the bond owners in the Chrysler bankruptcy deal?
- Why are you apologizing to the European Muslim world for being American? Your posturing does not reflect how I feel and clearly does not represent me as an American to the rest of the world. Why are you doing this?

Tightly Controlled Press Conferences
I am not naive to think that there is not some control exerted upon the immediate environment during Press Conferences held by the president. Of course there is control. But this Obama administration has taken control of press conferences to the highest level. It includes staged town meetings. It includes pre-selected press members that will be called upon to submit their questions to the president. The questions are pre-determined and rehearsed well before the meeting.
The person who is the mouthpiece of the White House, Mr. Gibbs, cannot answer the questions asked him by the press corps about why this press conference environment is so controlled. Why there are pre-determined questioners and pre-determined questions to be asked the president? Why is this happening when in fact the candidate Obama promised transparency and openness in all the goings on in his administration?
From this revelation I am compelled to conclude that president Obama is not really in the driver's seat. He is not acting like the president. He is acting still like a candidate who is so quick to make pronouncements and promises he intends to break. But he sure can read that teleprompter and appear to be in command. Any two bit actor could do this sort of acting though provided they have a script to read.
This tight handed control of the media concerns me because the media that are supposed to be a part of the checks and balances to the system has been compromised. This state run media is definitely in the pocket of Barack Obama and this is not a healthy way to run the government.
Why Destroy the American Economy?
I am totally perplexed at what Congress and the President are doing. I am talking about this Cap and Trade bill recently passed by Nancy Pelosi's Congress. Why would our elected politicians work to raise our electric bills, tax us for using energy and work to erase our gains in our quality of life? Why can't the Federal government operate within its budget and use the taxpayer's money wisely? Why is president Obama wanting to raise taxes in order to have money to spend on non-essential programs, such as, funding Hamas refugees so they can come and live here in the United States?
Why is the government meddling in our auto industry and our financial markets? Why has president Obama taken over General Motors, firing its CEO, pushing Chrysler to be sold to Fiat, giving preference to members of the United Auto Workers Union before the bond owners and investors when it comes to recouping their loses from Chrysler's filing for bankruptcy?
Lee Iacoca, the savior of Chrysler when it came close to the verge of dying is outraged at what the current administration is doing to our economy and way of conducting business. He is outraged at the lack of concern by the general public at what president Obama is doing to take us into socialism. Lee Iacoca is outraged that there are no leaders emerging to articulate to the people other points of view. He is outraged that a majority of Americans are sitting on their butts, seemingly satisfied at the morsels that Obama and his Democratic majority are throwing at them in the form of speeches and stimulus packages that have yet to make an impact on the economy.
Aren't you outraged yet? Are you still enamored at the prospect of this politician from Chicago who is making all the moves while America is preoccupied with the death of Michael Jackson and/or American Idol? Wake up America. Obama and his Democratic Congress majority are railroading our country into third world statehood. Obama and his politboro are operating at all hours passing bills and spending money that is not there while you are watching Oprah on television and/or playing golf.
You have been warned.
