Actions vs. Words

Here is a quote from The Union Leader editorial page. I could not have said it better myself!
"The President's own words do not match his actions. He decries irresponsible borrowing and spending while irresponsibly borrowing and spending. He opposes big government while initiating one of the largest expansions of government in U.S. history. He praises bipartisanship while dismissing Republican ideas out of hand. We have a President who believes he can fool the American people into accepting a radical agenda by simply telling us it is not what it plainly is. It is time the American people started paying more attention to what President Obama is doing and less attention to what he is saying."

President Bush made efforts to freeze funds going to Terrorist groups and the Obama Administration does an about face and sends U.S.Tax payers dollars direct to terrorist safe havens in Gaza. Unreal! It is like a nightmare everyday with Obama!

$36 Billion a Day

From Fox News, Posted by: Dwayne Horner at 12:24 AM
GOP Chairman Michael Steele was on Hannity tonight and pointed out a great point, "Barack Obama has spent $36 BILLION dollars a day since taking office."

Just think what $36 Billion adds up to:
- 1.5 billion dollars an hour
- 25 million dollars a minute
- 416 thousand dollars a second

Or to put it this way, he has had nearly six million seconds in office .... so under the spending of Barack Obama, we could have purchased a $100,000 house for more than 12 MILLION people in America since January 20th. That's more than New York City and Los Angeles COMBINED.

Michelle Obama's Muscular Arms



They say that First Ladys start fashion trends. I don't know many women that will rush out an buy sleeveless dresses to wear in the cold winter. Our brave First Lady Michelle shrugs off the cold and bears her arms. The sleeveless look is truly her favorite, see the cover of Vouge this month and you will see more of those famous arms. You know that Michelle's Vouge pose reminds me so much of another First Lady's pose in a vintage picture. Wow even the lamp, drapes and couch are dead on! Hmmm...Has Annie Lebowist run out of new ideas? Or are they selling Michelle O as the next Jackie O? Well as the old saying goes "Imitation is the sincerest of flattery" and so it is for following fashion trends. Bear those arms Ladies!

Obama declares War on Cancer

Now he will heal the sick! I guess we really should start believing all the talk of him being the Messiah. JFK put a man on the moon, Reagan toppled Communism, and now Obama will finally find a cure for cancer. From his speech last night he said he wants to find a cure for cancer "in our time" That will be a great legacy to leave if it can be done in 4 years.

Biden looks very Smurfy

Vice President "Nobody messes with Joe" Biden was caught wearing Smurf Blue! Via AP/Photo Pablo Martinez Monsivais Check out that tie! Papa Smurf would be prowd. Well it sure beats Nancy "Cheshire Cat Smile" Pelose in pea soup green "I'm not sure if that is a suit".

My Favorite American too!

Obama lectures on Fiscal Responsibility

The absolute gall of our President!
Here is a quote from our President at the Fiscal Responsibility Summit, “the casual dishonesty of hiding irresponsible spending with clever accounting tricks, the costly overruns, the fraud and abuse, the endless excuses. This is exactly what the American people rejected when they went to the polls. They sent us here to usher in a new era of responsibility in Washington, to start living within our means again and being straight with them about where their tax dollars are going.” ~President Obama

Unreal! Does our President think the American people are asleep? That we don't remember what he did last week? He just signed into law the most expensive stimulus package in the history of the world and the very next week holds a Fiscal Responsibility Summit? I can't believe what this guy thinks he can get away with! It is unbelievable! He tells us that "the American people want a new era of responsibility in Washington", when his bill was crafted in a way that it exploited everything that is corrupt about Washington. The huge stimulus bill is arguably the most irresponsible piece of legislation ever and he lectures on the need for fiscal responsibility when his bill is no such thing. It is like Obama lives in a fantasy world that people will not look at his actions but just listen to his speeches and think that everything he says must be the truth. It is like his speech writers are completely cut off from reality. Wow...this blows me away...

I love the part where he says, "This is exactly what the American people rejected when they went to the polls". This reminds me so much of Obama's "I won" defense he uses to get his way.
Well, I hope America wakes up to Obama's reckless spending the truth and facts are part of History and I hope those same voters that "rejected" "irresponsible spending" will remember Obama's track record regardless of how he spins his "casual dishonesty of hiding irresponsible spending"

Wake up America! Is spending 787,000,000,000.00 being responsible?

Obama to soak the Rich?

Can this be true? Maybe it is a blessing in disguise? Hold on to your hats and wallets any insensitive to get rich or be successful will be a distant memory. Get ready to be taxed and judging from History this move may be Obama's undoing... Read this for more information: http://hotair.com/archives/2009/02/23/obama-plans-soak-the-rich-class-warfare-economics/

I laughed at Obama's plan to increase the capital gains tax, when I heard it on the news last night. Who is making any money on the stock market? So the few that do manage to make some money back will see more of it go to the government.

My friend asked me 'What do I want government to do for me?" My reply hits at the core of this blog entry. I want to keep more of my money and not pay exorbitant taxes if I choose to work hard and become rich. I want lower taxes for all, because that creates more opportunity for investment's in the private sector and that creates jobs. When I opened my small business over 10 years ago, I had to pay the government money just to start conducting business, even before I started making dollar one. I want government to stay out of the way of business and let the free market create jobs. And yes I want smart regulations and government over site on the sectors that need it. The way Obama wants to create jobs like the ones in Obama's Stimulus plan are not long term jobs. Construction jobs are seasonal and they end when the job is completed. We need investment in new emerging companies that offer long term growth. The deregulation and tax cuts in the 80's under Reagan created the explosive growth that allowed companies like Apple, IBM, and Microsoft to flourish and create jobs, career paths, and wealth for lots of people. I want my government to do more of that. Who do you think funds private sector ventures? Rich people! The so called Angel Investors! That's who. Well under Obama's plan they are going to have less money to invest because he is going to tax them. So we will have less innovation and less job creation in the private sector.

Another bash America session at the Oscars

At the Academy Awards America Bashing is Golden... Here is a quote from a guy who had just achieved pinnacle of success for his craft.

"I think America is cool again, for the first time in my lifetime."~Danny Boyle, Director of Slum Dog Millionaire after his movie won 8 Academy Awards.

Unbelievable, he wins these great honors and he still feels the need to Bash America...I hope he appreciates all the Americans standing in line and paying their hard earned money to support his movie. Talk about insulting your customers. I wonder if he is taking cues from our First Lady Michelle Obama. Remember on the campaign trail in 2008, she said, "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I'm really proud of my country..." So I guess in his mind when we have a cool President by osmosis America is cool again. Well Mr. Boyle, next time try showing America some respect for the first time in your lifetime.

USS New York

This is a heart warming story my friend Meghan sent me! Amazing!

"The USS New York was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center. It is the fifth in a new class of warship - designed for missions th at include special operations against terrorists. It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault craft. Steel from the World Trade Center was melted down in a foundry in Amite , LA to cast the ship's bow section. When it was poured into the molds on Sept 9, 2003, 'those big rough steelworkers treated it with total reverence,' recalled Navy Capt. Kevin Wensing, who was there. 'It was a spiritual moment for everybody there.' Junior Chavers, foundry operations manager, said that when the trade center steel first arrived, he touched it with his hand and the 'hair on my neck stood up.' 'It had a big meaning to it for all of us,' he said. 'They knocked us down. They can't keep us down. We're going to be back.' The ship's motto? 'Never Forget' Please keep this going so everyone can see what we are made of in this country! "

Top Cop & Cowards

Link to Remarks as Prepared for Delivery by Attorney General Eric Holder at the Department of Justice African American History Month Program http://www.usdoj.gov/ag/speeches/2009/ag-speech-090218.html

Here is my response to the comments of Mr. Holder Esq:

Big Brother "Obama Style" = Shut Up and Drive

My Friend just sent me this AP article! You have to read it to believe it.

http://www.wmal.com/Article.asp?id=1175065&spid=24412

This is another example of the Obama Administration creating BIG Government programs that become very intrusive in our lives. Can you imagine a world where your car has a government mandated GPS unit to track your every mile? Who is gonna pay for that? Who will pay for the maintenance of the GPS unit? If it breaks and you don't know it are you going to be fined and owe back taxes? What about the poor who can't afford one or people who live in rural area that have to drive more miles to work or school? Are we the tax payer going to also subsidise the GPS units for the poor? Think of it if you have to drive to graduate school how much is the tax on every mile going to add to your cost of your education because you have to drive to school when you are going to school to make more money and improve your standard of living? Think of the implication on commerce and our every day lives!!! Where the government will profit if you get lost or make a wrong turn! Outrageous!!!! Wake up America!!!

The Clinton Factor

Why do I see Billl Clinton every where I turn around. On CBS and Fox....Spinning Obama's agenda. It is pretty amazing that Obama gets an ex-President to be his mouth piece. As if every time Bill Clinton reassures us that Obama has everything under control, we should all feel better? I wonder if this is the deal that they worked out in the meetings they had the week September 11th last year. It would have been very educational listening in on a meeting between to narcissist cement a deal where they can both share the lime-light when President Obama's approval ratings are sinking as a result of the administration's bad policies.

Not far off...Bill seems to be in full damage control mode on behalf of Obama...Maybe he is getting his great wish his 3rd term as President...or is he Mentor-in-Chief to the current Trainee-President?

What is "Protecting the Vulnerable"?


On the web site recovery.gov. Obama Stimulus chart has a section "Protecting the Vulnerable" What does that phrase mean? and why does it cost US taxpayers 81 Billion Dollars? What is "Protecting the Vulnerable"? I'm on the case to find out. My first impression is that it is a form of welfare payments, or is it abortion related (unborn babies are vulnerable, right?), or is it infrastructure related? Anyway it sounds like someone needs protecting and we will see how our government is going to do that with 81 Billion Dollars.
I have sent a email and when Obama answers my questions I will let you know...

I'm sure we will be waiting a long time...(crickets)
ps. This chart is named investment bubble (strait from the gov web site)! lol! All bubbles eventually pop don't they?

This day will live in Smurf Infamy...

This is what $787,000,000,000.00 looks like. :(
I have been wanting to start a political blog for some time now. Mostly because I am passionate about politics but to also use it as a tool for my one small American voice to sound off on my disillusion with many of the political establishment in Washington. As I type this first entry My President is signing into law the most expensive economic spending plan in history. This blog will monitor the President's http://www.recovery.gov/ web site over the next 4 years of his term. I have named this blog redwhitebluesmurf because of a funny but ominous search function on the recovery.gov site. I miss spelled the word vulnerable (I was searching the meaning of "Protect the vulnerable" from the economic stimulus package) and I was sent to the page that flags your spelling and search error. I arrived at blue smurf!

" Your search yielded no results
Check if your spelling is correct.
Remove quotes around phrases to match each word individually: "blue smurf" will match less than blue smurf.
Consider loosening your query with OR: blue smurf will match less than blue OR smurf. "

http://www.recovery.gov/?q=search/node/blue%20smurf

It reminded me of the Obama's "Blue" color of his campaign that blue that I got so sick of looking at much of last year... how appropriate that you get sent to the smurf blue. I mentioned earlier of the ominous tone to this search...we as I recall smurf were as sort of socialist society all working for the common good...sharing everything. As a child I watch the cartoon religiously and live in that fantasy world for a few hours a week. But then I had to grow up and realise that the my reality was that capitalism is the best way for America to prosper. Stay tuned!
