Get Freakin Real

President Obama reveals that the stimulus is a two year plan. I read that as meaning you won’t see any good of it until 2010. Hmm. That’s just about the time Americans will be heading out to vote. How convenient.

Money to burn

Your money will finance the Democrats 2010 campaign to retain control of the House and Senate.

His scheme has a very good chance of success.

Right now, the Left is in complete control of the economy. They own banking, finance, energy and good portion of our industrial base. They are in a position to make the economy do about anything they want. I know.. Scary ain’t it.

Cap and Trade along with Health Care legislation is a heartbeat away from completely changing the way America does business. It’s impossible for business owners to make sound decisions in this climate. There’s just too many unknowns.

Invest in machines and equipment that may be outlawed in a few months? Build a factory that may need to be retrofitted with costly “green” features yet to be determined? Hire employees with no idea of what their health care insurance responsibilities will be? Commit precious capital not knowing what your new tax burden will be?

These days, business owners are just trying to survive. In this climate, new jobs will not be coming along anytime soon. The Left has America right where they want it. Broke, in crisis and panicked.

Which brings us to that Two Year Plan….

Let’s take a peak at the future. Congress plans to work out the details on controversial legislation by the end of this year. Whatever becomes of Cap and Trade and Health Care, American business will find a way to adapt. It’s what American companies do. The economy will begin to recover the moment the massive impact of these bills become a known factor.

By then, unemployment could very well be at unimaginable numbers across America. I would bet that sometime around early Spring of 2010, we’ll see job numbers significantly improve. By the Fall, even those still unemployed will feel hope that things are changing for the better. (Ahh.. Good old Hope and Change).

Collectively, we Americans have a short-term memory. The Democrats are counting on the fact that a significant portion of voters will forget all about the economic damage being done today. And they will. Those voters will see things as getting better and the Dems will be right there to accept responsibility for it.

Watch as politicians campaign on how courageous and wise they were in voting for the stimulus package. Watch as they drive home the idea that your brand new job was made possible by them. Oh yea.. and those that opposed the stimulus will be portrayed as the evil ones trying hold you down. You’ll be encourage to forget all about the massive debt this re-election scheme has caused.

It doesn’t end there….

Things will be better, but don’t expect things to get too rosy in 2010. Obama will still need a certain level of pain and misery to ensure his re-election in 2012. I predict that to be about the time inflation kicks in full force. Fear not! I’m sure the Left has some feel-good, 2-year-plan-type legislation waiting in the wings.

Is this some crazy conspiracy?

Nope. It’s what I believe to be a key part of the Democrat’s re-election strategy. It’s what you get when you elect a president that only knows how to run for office. It’s what you get when you allow the government too much control. It’s what you get when you invite government in to solve your problems.

Will Obama&Co. get away with it?

Only if we let them.

ABC refuses to allow opposing views on the President’s scheme for our health care. They won’t even allow paid advertisements on the issue.

Government has no business taking over such a personal part of your life. Change is needed in the health care industry, but the change being offered by Obama and Company is not the answer.

If ABC practiced journalism, they would tell both sides of the issue. But they agree with Obama on this one. We ain’t smart enough to manage ourselves. We need the gov’ment to run our lives.

Here are some commercials and commentary that ABC and Obama decided you had no need to see.

Senator Kerry must be trying out for his own late night show.  One liner’s like this rank him right up there with Letterman..

‘Too bad’ Gov. Sarah Palin didn’t go missing

The Bay State senator was telling a group of business and civic leaders in town at his invitation about the “bizarre’’ tale of how South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford had “disappeared for four days’’ and claimed to be hiking along the Appalachian Trail, but no one was really certain of his whereabouts.

“Too bad,’’ Kerry said, “if a governor had to go missing it couldn’t have been the governor of Alaska. You know, Sarah Palin.’’

The Democratic-centric crowd laughed.

Hey Senator, we’re not laughing with you.. we’re laughing at you.

While leaders around the world are sending a strong message to Iran’s leadership, our President states that he’s  “troubled by the violence”. He must find it hard to believe that people don’t like to be ruled by a deceptive government.

From his statement on the issue, I can’t figure out if Obama is upset with the Iranian government’s violence… or the audacity of mere citizens standing up to be heard.

Thank God, for people like Indiana Representative Mike Pence.  He has introduced House Resolution 549 that extends words of support from America’s to and for the Iranian dissidents.

“We are witnessing a Tiananmen in Tehran and the United States must stand in the gap. While the President may be ‘troubled by the violence,’ he has yet to express the unqualified support of the American people for those who are courageously risking their lives for free elections and democracy in Iran. If the President of the United States will not express our nation’s solidarity with the dissidents in the streets of Tehran, then Congress must.

The “election” in Iran was a complete sham.  Today, Iranian dissidents are in the streets of Tehran and other major cities while riot police,the Revolutionary Guard Corps, militias and mercenaries  are cracking down hard on them.

The Iranian government has cut off all communication channels and foreign journalist are being silenced, expelled or arrested.  This from a country whose human rights record continues to go from bad to worse.  This from a country our President thinks we should get to know better, understand and have a relationship with.

Strong support from our nation and other world leaders could bring about real hope and change for Iranian seeking freedom. The citizens are yearning to be released from tyranny. They are standing up for what they believe in against terrible odds. Perhaps they’ve been inspired by what’s happening in Iraq.

But, the President doesn’t want to spoil all that feel good nonsense he spews forth to the Iranian leadership. Get your representative to support the Iran Resolution Supporting Dissidents

Iranian dissedents should know that even if the President will not, the American People will and are standing with them.

You tell 'em Joe!

Good to see the VP making an appearance.. I’m always up for a good laugh. Haven’t heard much from the old guy since that secret bunker thing.

So anyway, we learned a bunch from Joe this weekend. For instance, we were informed that “everyone guessed wrong” on the impact the economic stimulus would have on unemployment.

Unemployment is actually worse than we were told it would be if the stimulus was not passed. (Which means the stimulus is not working.)

Joe? Trillions of your numbers are wrong and each one has a dollar sign in front of it.

But that’s not the inspiration behind this post. No.. it’s about that whole fantasy that is Mr. Biden…

The two-time presidential candidate, whose most recent bid ended last year, said Sunday that he would not rule out the possibility of a third presidential run.

The bill for your party’s shenanigans will come due long before the 2016 campaign. Then, you and those of your ilk will indeed find yourselves banished to the Land of Oz.

A little something I ran across today that made me laugh. I just hope it doesn’t give The One any ideas….

After several high-profile policy changes, President Obama announced an unconventional solution to relocate Guantanamo Bay’s 17 Uighur detainees.

“Effectively immediately, these individuals will be transferred to General Motors,” Obama declared in a written statement. “There the Uighurs will be able to put their lives back together while they help this proud company regain its footing.

Good Lord.

The Supreme Court denied Indiana pensioners’ bid to block the government-backed sale of Chrysler to Italian automaker Fiat Tuesday evening.

They couldn’t even put their names to it. A per curiam decision. Anonymously.

Well America.. get ready. The door is wide open and nobody can stop the madman obama.

Today is the day that American Capitalism died.

Like Horatio at the Bridge,  Richard Mourdock continues to fight for what’s right.

Indiana’s State Treasurer has at least temporarily blocked the sale of most of Chrysler Corporation’s assets to Fiat.

A late decision allows for a court challenge to see if two Hoosier pension funds and a construction fund are getting a raw deal in the automaker’s bankruptcy.

State Treasurer Richard Mourdock says he doesn’t like holding up the sale of Chrysler to Fiat, but he insists he won’t back down, and now he’ll get a hearing before a federal appeals court. via Indiana Treasurer Wins Right to Appeal Chrysler Bankruptcy Terms | Indiana’s NewsCenter: Fort Wayne WPTA-TV, WISE-TV, CW, and My Network | Local & Regional.

Queen Elizabeth I, when told that one of her subjects was to receive a foreign order of knighthood, reportedly said:

Obama’s new collar from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the King Abdulaziz Order of Merit.  Instituted: 20 March 1971 by King Faisal ibn Abdulaziz.  It’s awarded for meritorious service while in government office, for extraordinary deeds of bravery, and for other deeds of service to the state.

The media won’t let a pesky little  jihadi attack in America’s heartland get in the way of pushing their pro-abortion agenda.

The terrible murder of Dr. Tiller is being covered by the media in a way that portrays all right-to-lifers as an evil scourge on society.  Yet when a Taliban-trained militant guns down two soldiers in a parking lot.. it hardly rates their mention.

Where is the outrage?

Let’s suppose for a moment that everything alleged here is false. That the political contribution records shown are wrong. Maybe it is all just a coincidence.

The fact that Team Obama is allowed to decide which privately owned business to destroy next is alarming.

Dealers on the closing list donated millions to Republicans, $200 for Obama

The initial pass at the list of shuttered dealers showed they had donated, in the aggregate, millions to Republican candidates and PACs and a total of $200 to Barack Obama.

In fact, I have thus far found only a single Obama donor $200 from Jeffrey Hunter of Waco, Texas on the closing list.

Another review of all 789 closing dealerships, by WND, found $450,000 donated to GOP presidential candidates; $7,970 to Sen. Hillary Clinton; $2,200 to John Edwards and $450 to Barack Obama.

Now, and this is important, Chrysler claimed that its formula for determining whether a dealership should close or not included “sales volume, customer service scores, local market share and average household income in the immediate area.”

via Dealergate: Stats demonstrate that Chrysler Dealers likely shuttered on a partisan basis.

I can’t wait to watch the Obama Machine spin there way out of this one.
