More Doublespeak

In oblahblah's own words-"We're not going to allow anyone to inflict economic pain on millions of our own people just to make an ideological point."

And yet, that is EXACTLY what oblahblah continues to do with every failed domestic policy he puts forth.  This goes double for 'oblahblahcare'.  

obama stands at the podium chastising those who choose to defend the rights of the American people, and that he is the only one who knows what is best, yet at every turn he continues to screw things up.

obama is not only clueless, he is dangerously ideological.  obama is willing to sacrifice ANY FREEDOM, ANY RIGHT, that the American people have in order to gain and sustain power for himself and his party.  obama has proven this time and again with every action to dismantle the Constitution, every action to tie the hands of capitalism, every tax payer funded handout to those that monetarily support him and his party.  And don't dismiss the continued rewarding of those that have been found to have corruptly advanced obama's own ideological agenda.

obama's latest is the bailout of Detroit with $200 million of your taxpayer dollars.  Detroit, who's elected officials wouldn't let ANYONE ELSE aide them during their spiraling economic plunge do to their racist, misguided pride.  Detroit, now being rewarded for their mismanagement, inept officials, and shortsightedness.  Detroit, obama's own, 50 plus years of democratic plunder leading to a Federal bailout.

Detroit is a money pit.  There should be no Federal funds going near them until their leadership changes.  obama isn't saving a city, he is paying his minions off.

And of course there is 'obamacare'.  obama stated that there would be a savings of about $2,500 for a family of four?  Well, that figure has been changed, upward slightly, to an annual cost of about $7,500.  Do the research.  These are figures from obama's own people.  That folks, is a $10,000 swing.  $10k in a time when the median household income for a family of four is $5,000 less than when this ideological buffoon took office five years ago.  Let's see, that makes it a swing of $15,000.  You have an extra $15k lying around?

Forget the fact that oblahblah stated you could keep your health plan or provider if you wanted.  The skyrocketing costs due to 'obamacare' are causing employers to drop plans, providers to leave networks and employers to cut hours.  Another outright lie by your savior oblahblah.

You like your co-pay?  Say goodbye to that too.  It appears that most plans being offered are 60/40.  Makes them pretty much worthless. 

Do the research, compare apples to apples.  'obamacare' is not the answer for ANYONE, and hurts the vast majority of those it is supposed to help.

Don't forget about the $716 BILLION taken from medicare to begin the funding process for 'obamacare'.  Or the fact that oblahblah is rewarding the corrupt IRS with the task of enforcing this abortion of a law.  Or the fact that obama lied, on national tv, stating that it wasn't a 'tax' at all.  Or that the harpie pelosi pushed this crap through, unread, undebated, unedited.  Or the fact that obama continues to make changes along the way, unconstitutionally, to benefit his minions.

So what the heck can we do about it?

I for one am looking for a sponsor.  (go ahead, insert joke here).

Virginia is one of the States that does not have the right of recall.  I would like to change that.

The fact is, wether you are democrat or republican, wether you are liberal or conservative, it is the election process by which we 'hire' those individuals to be our voice, our representatives, in DC.

Not every debate can go back to the people.  That is why we 'hire' these representatives.  

However, when these 'employees' of the people begin to make decisions that are in direct conflict with what the PEOPLE overwhelmingly state they want, when these 'employees' of the people begin to make decisions solely for their own benefit or solely for their party's power, they need to be held accountable.

Too often we find ourselves 'forgetting' what has transpired and re-electing these officials out of 'convenience'.  It is high time that we, the people who hired them, hold them to their responsibilities.  We deserve the right to debate their choices, and if need be, fire them.  There should be no tenure.  There should be no lack of recourse if the people find themselves with an individual that no longer represents their best interest.

I urge you, if you live in a State where there is no re-call provision for your elected officials, begin to petition that they adopt one.  If you do live in one of the States that has the provision, USE IT. 

OUR voices, the voices of the people, are what should be controlling the Government, NOT the Government controlling OUR voices.

A brief analogy to show where obama's head is at when it comes to the US economy:
There is a hole in the debt ceiling and the debt just keeps pouring in.  We have the tools and materials to fix it out in the White House garage, but instead, obama goes out and buys more pails to put under the hole.
Just like biden shooting his shotgun into the air, obama would rather not fix the issues and instead throw good money after bad.

The fact is, we will never see the true nature of our economic status until they put a hard cap on the debt ceiling and cease the QE.  They need to let the markets correct themselves and let the people decide who survives in big industry.  The Government, too, needs to be held accountable for their out of control spending.

As far as health care reform goes, you know, obamacare, the only reason that there would be a shut down of government is if obama's ego gets in the way of what is best for the Country.  The trappings of economic disaster are written in the pages of the harpie pelosi pushed document and the first surges of the tidal wave that is about to hit are already tearing away job security and stable health care. 

With the income gap at its widest since the late 1920s and democrats unwilling to see that the social programs that they are forcing on the US are draining the life out of the middle class, a hard cap on the debt ceiling and cuts in those programs are the only answer.  When you find yourself in a hole, you better stop digging.

Isn't it about time that we start to treat our elections as a hiring process and select who is best suited for the job at hand, rather than who is the "it" person of the month?  obama is out of his depth at every turn and has resorted to lying directly to the people numerous times, bypassed the Constitution numerous times, covered up his failures through threats and coercion numerous times... If the Senate has the will to do what is right for the American people, and obama veto's the bill to defund obamacare and shut the Government down it should be considered a last straw.  If the rhino's, um, not a good analogy there, how about possums?  Yeah, if the possums in the Senate don't take a stand than it is time to toss them out.  McCain first.  

EVERY STATE should have right of recall of their elected officials, and that is the push that needs to happen if these so called representatives continue to do what is only in THEIR best interest and not what is in the best interest of OUR COUNTRY!

There is no debate here.  Our Country's very survival is at stake.  obama's destructive agenda needs to be stopped in it's tracks.

obamaland experienced another devastating earthquake this past week and obama ego central has been severely shaken.


I wish I could take credit for this analogy, however I heard it many times over the past weeks, "Putin is playing chess, while obama is playing checkers."


I think that after the events of the past few days we could go a bit further and say that obama and kerry aren't even playing checkers.  They're playing peek-a-boo.  And losing.


There appears to be no humbling in the obama camp however, as they rush around trying to spin Putin's actions as some sort of co-operative effort.  The fact is, Putin is calling the shots with regard to Syria.  Putin has NO respect for obama or ANY of his corrupt and inept administration.


I guess that hilary had her "reset" button calibrated for the 1970s, cause that's where she shot the US - Russian relations back to.  I cannot fathom anyone considering her for a presidential position when she was a lackluster senator, and has already risen to the level of her own incompetence as Secretary of State.  She wasn't able to handle foreign relations, she wasn't able to handle her own people, and as far as I am concerned, she is criminally negligent in the deaths of at least four brave Americans.


I suppose there will be those that will vote for her because she is a woman.  Of course that type of thinking is why we are in the mess we are in now.


So, kerry and obama cannot seem to get on the same page regarding Syria while Putin starts a propaganda campaign to squash any future aggression, um, is forecasting everything you are about to do really aggressive?  I guess so, after all if a guy says he is going to punch another fellow in the nose on the count of three, and that that is going to be the only hit he will receive, that is kind of aggressive.  Of course the other fellow has already protected his nose by that time, and by all counts of law can retaliate in self protection.
Hmm, can an impotent attack be considered an act of war?  Yeah, according to everyone outside obamaland.

Putin gave obama an out.  Putin did so because of his self interests, and that of his country.  Is he telling the truth about Assad?  Who knows.  What difference at this point does it make?


Had our relationships with other countries been nurtured, had you elected someone who knew how to "play chess," had you elected a man of character instead of a character of a man... Woulda, coulda, shoulda.... "If" in one hand and obama in the other...


And this all distracts us of what is going on domestically, as the obamacare onslaught continues.  Representative Tom Graves is proposing a plan to defund this train wreck of a law and I say that anyone who doesn't support Graves' bill should be recalled.  It is now up to the people to take action for what is in OUR best interest.  If obama cronies want to vote along party lines, if those we elected don't have the backbone to support what is in the Nation's best interest, they need to be sent home.  It is time to set a new standard, that the laws for the people are created by the people, and apply to EVERYONE.


I wonder what the media slant will be on this.  If the newest Senate definition of who is considered a journalist comes to fruition it will most likely be, oh, wait a moment, aren't all of the journalists now working for the obama corruption administration?  I guess that's what being a "journalist" is all about now.  Kiss the ass of someone in a corrupt regime so that you can get a cushy job as a mouthpiece for that ass.


I don't know if obamaland will last another 3.5 years.  I don't think they can continue pushing the cover ups down the road and hiding the complete lack of leadership, the rule by corruption and threat, that has been the obama administration.  But then again, we have a media that is more concerned about making news than reporting facts.

Inept, or Evil?

I have been pondering this thought for quite some time and still haven't been able to establish a direct line between obama's actions and his thought process.  Are obama's actions the result of his desire to reduce the United States to some form of withered democracy, or are his actions the direct result of his inability to perceive a reality beyond that of his own imagination?  Both are quite dangerous for the US.

It is not only a Constitutional issue when it comes to the control over the individual from a Federal standpoint, it is logistics and interests.  Why would a system work on a state level and not a federal level?  Taking healthcare reform to the federal level is a prime example, disregarding the obvious corruption involved with the process and handling.  I will go into this further over the next few weeks, but I wanted to touch on it anyway.

Wisdom-  
The quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgment; the quality of being wise.

By definition, obama is a 0 on the wisdom scale.

obama has built the house of his administration with rotted wood.  It looked pretty.  But now the walls are collapsing and the roof is teetering.  Exposed is the dry rot-the lies, the corruption, the inept appointees.

No, this doesn't start or stop with obama.  There are dozens in the House that need to go as well.  All of those that feel they need to make decisions based on falsehoods in order to support their party, instead of supporting their constituents. All of those who are more afraid to stand for what is right rather than face the throng of greed and power hungry "peers".

This brings me to another characteristic of a true leader taken from "The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership" written by John C. Maxwell.

On a side note-This book should be the focal point in study for every high school student, or at the very least, on their mandatory reading lists.  

This next "law" is why you need to read this book as well.  I cannot do it justice in this blog and EVERYONE needs to read it BEFORE the next election.

The next "law" is the "Law of Influence".  I won't get into all of the aspects of the chapter, I wouldn't want to paraphrase for fear I would mislead you.  You really need to read it for yourself.

Suffice to say obama gets an F---- for this one.  

Proof of this has been blatantly obvious since his first days in office.  If someone needs to lie or withhold information in order to get what they want, especially when what they want is in their own best interest, eventually their credibility suffers.  In obama's case, it goes crashing into the basement, and makes a big dent in the floor.

This is seen in the mishandling of, um, let me think, EVERY foreign issue that has come his way thus far.
This is seen in the mishandling of, um, let me think, EVERY domestic issue that has come his way thus far.

In the case of Syria, there is no wonder as to why there isn't any support for obama's plan internationally or domestically.  It is time for obama to be a man and take responsibility, and do the peoples' will, not what he thinks he needs to do to save face.  Trying to lie his way out of this one is only making things worse for all.  ANYONE who votes for an attack on Syria should be recalled, and if obama acts solo he needs to be impeached.  This matter is far more serious than they want to admit and obama has proven time and again that his intuition on such matters is nil.

And if you think that more 'democratic rule' is needed, just take a look at what decades of 'democratic rule' has done to Detroit.  It is now morally and economically bankrupt.  obama's vision realized.

Do yourself a favor-read the "21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership" by John C. Maxwell.  Then, next election day, vote for the individual who truly espouses those qualities, not the one who makes fraudulent promises and can only claim providence by diminishing their opponent.

It is OK to admit that obama was an unfortunate mistake.  It is OK to not follow obama down every path that leads directly to the demise of the US.  It is OK to rid ourselves of the harpies and inept appointees that revel in the muck of obama's corrupt administration.  

It is OK that you learn from your mistake.  But you must learn from it.  Our Country, indeed the World, depends upon it.

So obama can't decide what to do about Syria.  Of course what he hasn't done to date is what put him, and the US in this situation in the first place.

Forget about the "line in the sand" he drew last year with regard to chemical weapons.  It was more of the same from him, and all the world knows his lack of foreign initiative.

It is the fact that there was no support for the rebels that may have actually been pro-US from the outset.  The lack of support has led to the infiltration of al-qaeda supporting factions and has turned this civil war into a lose, lose for the US and the Syrian people.

So obmama wants to "punish" Assad.  And surprisingly enough he is seeking Congress' approval. But what exactly is going to be accomplished?  Another action taken up by an impotent administration that will lead to something much worse than what transpired in Egypt?

Not only has obama lost all credibility on the world stage, he lacks the wisdom, and foresight to make the proper moves.  

Which, sadly again, comes full circle to what I have been saying since obama was elected in '08-true leaders surround themselves with the best people for the job at hand.  obama has surrounded himself with 'yes men' and powderpuff appointees so that he can control every aspect of every decision.  That is until he doesn't want to be bothered with something.  Or he does something wrong.  Then the blame lands squarely on someone else, regardless of the fact that he had the controlling input.

Every scandal and corrupt action that is surfacing in obama's administration points directly to the fact that he is not a true leader, just a scoundrel doing anything he can to remain in power and torch his "enemies".

The Reverend John Maxwell penned "The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership" some ten years before obama was to be elected president.  I doubt obama heard about or read the book, but he really should have, instead of delving into the socialist manifestoes of Saul Alinsky.

The first chapter of Maxwell's deals with what he calls the "Law of the Lid".  To paraphrase-a leaders effectiveness is limited by his or her leadership abilities.  Maxwell takes into account such things as - people skills, planning and strategic thinking, vision and results.

You don't need to put obama under a microscope to see that he is lacking in each of those areas.  A decent orator does not make a leader at any level.

People skills?  obama only deals with those people he must, and usually not face to face.  Other times he deals with individuals only after public outcry makes it clear that he has no option, completely reactionary.  And when it comes to foreign dignitaries he has actually stated that "it is not my job" to speak with them. A definitive "F--" for people skills.

Planning and strategic thinking?  I would actually give obama a higher grade on this, maybe a simple "F".  Why?  Well, he has shown that he can follow a strategy to its completion, and the planning of that strategy could be considered a form of process.  Look at what he did with Egypt, though it was a debacle. Look at what health care reform has and will do-destroy the health care system entirely so that the government has to step in with a single payer system.  OK, so all signs point to anti-American and socialist motives, what difference at this point does it make?

Vision?  I have written about this aspect of obama's personality before.  You only have to look as far as his "community development" programs to see his vision.  You only need to look at the way that he is trying to dismantle the Constitution to see his vision.  We are not talking 'big government' here, we are talking 'only government'.  Then we will follow all of those cultures that preceded us down that path to financial and social ruin.  Another "F--" for the vision of a people ruled by government instead of a government ruled by people.

Results?  Really, do I need to go through all of obama's failures?  After five years we still have outrageous unemployment, the economy is on the brink of a death spiral, the national debt is ever increasing and the US world position is slipping even further down.  Of course obama could sight a thousand reasons why he is not to blame, but the fact is, he is to blame.  The fact is, that a leader would take responsibility then take action.  Not point the finger then act as though the current condition is status quo.  Another "F--".

So, the first of the '21 Laws' finds obama with a grade of "F--".  And unlike the liberal teachers and professors that are more concerned about not hurting anyone's feelings or are simply trying to hide their ineptness, I will not grade on a curve or give points for obama doing one thing right, if he continues to do one thousand things wrong.
