A Tale Of Two Obamas
Mar 31, 2011 Political
What a difference actually being in charge makes. It was so much easier for Barry Obama when he could sit back and pass judgement on the decisions of others and wow the world with his wisdom by telling people he would have done something differently. Remember when George Bush was in charge and Barry, a wet behind the ears state senator, was at a 2002 anti war rally:
President Barack Obama, as an Illinois state senator in 2002, said that using military force to topple a murderous dictator amounted to a “dumb war” and should be opposed.
The “dumb war” Obama was criticizing was the planned invasion of Iraq and the murderous dictator was its leader, Saddam Hussein. Obama, speaking at an anti-war rally in Chicago on Oct. 2, 2002 said that while Saddam was a brutal tyrant, that was not enough to justify using military force to remove him from power. CNS News
Yep, the fact that Hussein was a brutal dictator was not enough to remove him. In the speech Obama admits Hussein had WMD, a claim that the left said Bush was lying about (which means that Obama is also a liar)
…He has repeatedly defied U.N. resolutions, thwarted U.N. inspection teams, developed chemical and biological weapons, and coveted nuclear capacity. He’s a bad guy. The world, and the Iraqi people, would be better off without him.” [emphasis mine]
Now that Barry is the leader he can’t sit back and vote present. He has sent our military to Libya to remove a brutal dictator, something he said was a “dumb war” in 2002.
His poll numbers are at their lowest ever and since a slip in the polls for the Tea Party is enough to compel liberals like Harry Reid to say America does not care about the Tea Party anymore I guess we can conclude that America does not care about Obama anymore. The same standards must apply even in liberalville.
Obama has even authorized covert operations in Libya. I guess when he decides to remove a dictator it is a noble thing in his mind.
I love when nose in the air elitist liberals have to eat their own words.
It is hard being a leader. Life is easy when you can second guess those in charge and wait for opinion polls before deciding what course of action you would have taken. This is not real leadership but allows the gifted politician to fool the morons among us.
Perhaps they should take back this guy’s Nobel Peace Prize.
If not they should award one to George W. Bush.
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

It’s Not His Middle Name That Worries Them
Jul 10, 2010 Political
Barack Hussein Obama thinks that his middle name makes some of the Israelis suspicious of him. I believe that the Israelis are not so shallow as to allow the middle name of Hussein to cause suspicion. They are a thoughtful people and if they are suspicious of Obama it is because of his deeds and not his name.
During the interview Wednesday, when confronted with the anxiety that some Israelis feel toward him, Obama said that “some of it may just be the fact that my middle name is Hussein, and that creates suspicion.” Haaretz
Obama has snubbed Israel and has appeared to take the side of the people who are out to wipe that country off the map. His administration has given millions of dollars to the Palestinians and Obama has snubbed the Israeli Prime Minister. Barack Obama treated the man like a common servant during a previous visit and has been less than receptive to Israel defending itself.
If the Israelis are suspicious of Obama it is because his actions warrant such suspicion and not because of his middle name.
Then again, maybe it is Bush’s fault…
Never surrender, never submit.

Joe Biden On Iraq, Then And Now
Feb 15, 2010 Political
Politicians are a special group of people who can say one thing on one day and the exact opposite on another. Obama has done it and so have many others. The latest is from VP Joe (nobody messes with Joe) Biden. Biden has an entirely different take on Iraq now than he did in 2002:
Joe Biden in 2002: “We have no choice but to eliminate the threat. This is a guy [Saddam Hussein] who is an extreme danger to the world.” [Real Clear Politics – Video]
We had no choice but to eliminate him. Admittedly, we could have gone in and just eliminated him and that might have solved the issue. Instead, after a lot of talk and diplomacy, we resumed the war with that country. We eliminated the threat that Biden referred to in 2002.
But now Nobody Messes with Joe says that what we did was not worth the price we paid.
Vice President Joe Biden says the Iraq war hasn’t been worth its “horrible price.” My Way News
There is no doubt that the price of the war has been horrible. Any time we lose members of our military it is horrible. It is also too much to lose just one person but was the victory worth the cost?
We got rid of the guy Biden said had to go and remember, no one is smarter on foreign policy than Joe, just ask him. We have a fairly stable country in Iraq that could grow to be a big ally and trade partner. It is on the path to self governance and freedom. The people who lived under the oppression of Hussein might see things differently than Biden. And remember, Biden said we had “NO CHOICE” but to eliminate Hussein. If we had no choice then cost is not a deciding factor.
It is one thing to lament at the price in blood and treasure but it is another to say the venture was not worth it. We entered WWII and liberated Europe after we were attacked at Pearl Harbor. We suffered nearly half as many US deaths in the D-Day invasion than in the entire Iraq War. Total deaths in WWII are much higher than they will ever be in Iraq so was the effort worth it?
According to Biden it might not have been.
The last thing the public needs is for its leaders to say that the price we paid in blood and treasure was not worth the outcome.
But Biden did say that it could be one of the major accomplishments of the administration.
Obama picked him because he is an insurance policy.

This Is Why I Call Him Hussein
Aug 23, 2009 Political
Remember when the National Day of Prayer was, back in the spring? Do you remember how Hussein observed it? Do you?
He ignored the day- unlike his predecessor, President Bush, Hussein just totally ignored a nation’s religious heritage, which is mainly Christian and Jewish, and went on down the road, figuratively speaking. Okayyyyyyy—— not the smartest move, but then, unlike others, (mainly left- wing loons) I have never said that this guy was smart- indeed, I have said repeatedly that I thought he was dumber than a bag of hammers.
He proved it again the other day, at the start of Ramadan, when he “spoke” to the arab world to wish them well and extend “blessings”-
It’s even translated into several languages.
From the White House blog:
President Obama extends his best wishes to Muslims around the world during Ramadan. (public domain)Sous-titrage disponible en français.

Now, do you remember how Obama observed the National Day of Prayer?
He distanced himself from it.
The Washington Times reported:
President Obama is distancing himself from the National Day of Prayer by nixing a formal early morning service and not attending a large Catholic prayer breakfast the next morning.
All Mr. Obama will do for the National Day of Prayer, which is Thursday, is sign a proclamation honoring the day, which originated in 1952 when Congress set aside the first Thursday in May for the observance.
For the past eight years, President George W. Bush invited selected Christian and Jewish leaders to the White House East Room, where he typically would give a short speech and several leaders offered prayers…
Maybe he was serious when he said America was a Muslim nation?

Yea, maybe so- why else do you intentionally anger so many people who you are allegedly the leader of, while obsequiously kissing the A$$es of people you have no control over? Or perhaps it is brain damage-let’s put him on a waiting list for about a year for an MRI to find out if he’s one prayer rug short of a mosque. He can take the government plan- after all, it is good enough for us.
Of course, if he is crazy, then maybe the government plan is a load of manure. Heck, why prevaricate- we all know its a load of manure anyway, driven by a man who is so full of himself that it is a wonder his head fits in any enclosed space.
What I find amusing is Air America’s take on Hussein- now they find that he will lie to the left too, and they have their panties in a wad over the meetings with big Pharma on this healthcare fubar- they are incensed that he did not keep his pledge to have the talks on C-SPAN, and actually have the transparency he pledged to.
Go here to hear the radio hosts trash the Resident-
At least he is an equal opportunity liar- we on the right knew he was going to lie- we had listened to him during the longest campaign in history. Jews have crossed deserts in half the time that campaign took- so we knew that the lies were there. But it has taken the left awhile now to figure out that Hussein used them as a steppingstone to the White House.
When Air America is pissed at you, then you have really taken a left. It would be a NatGeo moment to film the chase of Hussein by a pack of rabid union goons who have had their health plans switched to the Gubbmint option- watch as they begin to flank him. See their pack mentality, as they circle while the Alpha hoffa sneaks around back to sever the achilles tendons- aaah yes, there he goes down, slashed at the heels. Now unable to walk, the pack dispatches him quickly in a frenzy of entitled perks.
Ah well, it was but a dream………. or was it?

You Can’t Handle The Health
Aug 2, 2009 Political
Lawmakers are on “recess”, (makes you think of carefree children, playing on a playground- probably not far from the truth- the children part, anyway), and hopefully they are getting an earful from people who know that this “Healthcare” package is detrimental to virtually everyone it will affect; and it will affect virtually everyone. The main reason for this is that private insurers cannnot match the price that the government can impose, thus driving these insurance companies out of business.
People who run small businesses will throw their employees into the “public” option, exacerbating the situation, and when you essentially “dump” 20- 46 million new people into an existing infrastructure, without having the commensurate number of doctors added to the mix, you have a problem that all the smooth language of our brainless leader cannot solve.
Meanwhile, the members of Congress, all but one, have opted to keep their medical insurance, foregoing the public option they keep reassuring us is really good. Listen, you didn’t believe it when you were little, and your mom said strained peas were tasty, especially when she wouldn’t take a bite, so why would you believe this?
Too much, too fast, too expensive. Those are some of the objections lawmakers have voiced against the healthcare overhaul Democrats are attempting on Capitol Hill.
But many Americans think Congress is out of touch. How, they wonder, can lawmakers empathize with the underinsured or those lacking insurance when they receive a benefits package — heavily subsidized by taxpayers — that most of us can only envy?
Among the advantages: a choice of 10 healthcare plans that provide access to a national network of doctors, as well as several HMOs that serve each member’s home state. By contrast, 85% of private companies offering health coverage provide their employees one type of plan — take it or leave it.
Lawmakers also get special treatment at Washington’s federal medical facilities and, for a few hundred dollars a month, access to their own pharmacy and doctors, nurses and medical technicians standing by in an office conveniently located between the House and Senate chambers.
In all, taxpayers spent about $15 billion last year to insure 8.5 million federal workers and their dependents, including postal service employees, according to the Office of Personnel Management.
latimes.com
There will be unintended consequences- for one thing, all the plans Congress has at its disposal are, for the moment, private plans, and they rely not on Congress to keep them afloat and profitable, but millions of regular people to share the risk. If Congress succeeds in forcing millions of people onto a public plan, there will not be enough people to make Congress’ plans sustainable for their own health- they will in effect, have forced themselves onto the public option, or they will have to subsidize an insurance company.
This could be funny, as they try to undo their own laws, or forge a “special” exemption for federal workers- I mean, Federal workers, from the Resident on down, already enjoy health coverage anyone else would envy.
In all, taxpayers spent about $15 billion last year to insure 8.5 million federal workers and their dependents, including postal service employees, according to the Office of Personnel Management.
Generous plans are available in private industry. But the federal coverage far surpasses that enjoyed by 70 million Americans who are underinsured and at financial risk in the event of a major health crisis — not to mention the estimated 46 million who have no medical insurance.
“For the average worker, the Federal Employees Health Benefits Plan would probably look quite attractive,” said Pete Sepp, a spokesman for the National Taxpayers Union, a pinch-penny advocacy group.
Indeed, a question often surfaces: Why can’t everyone enjoy the same benefits as members of Congress? The answer: The country probably couldn’t afford it — not without reforms to bring costs way, way down.
latimes.com
So once again, we see that these hypocrites that want us to sacrifice, and ration our health, will not do the same when it comes to their families. Why should we believe them, when they tell us that the fire doesn’t burn, when they won’t stick their hand in the flames? The very fact that they are not willing to use the same care package that we the people do, should make anyone with even a remedial brainstem ask why not.
The old saying, “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander,” is applicable here, and this plan should be summarily rejected out of hand. This plan is truly not about the people, but a blatant power grab to gain more control over the American people and their options. This is all about the government wanting more control over your lives and your choices. You see, they know better than you, because they truly believe they are smarter than you.
Until The Resident, and ALL his minions, czars, lackeys, and suck- ups are willing to go by the same rules that the rest of us have to, this proposed law should die the ugly death it deserves, and ANY member of Congress that votes for this obamanation of a bill should be immediately impeached for high crimes against the American people.
Because anyone who votes for this bill is a traitor, plain and simple.
