The Crumbling Obama

After watching the three presidential debates I have figured out why Obama's campaign is failing. Obama's persona is a big issue, along with the people he's surrounded himself with. Then there is also the media's complicity in the whole thing, which despite being in the tank for Obama I think turned out to be his worst enemy. The last four years have been very telling, having a record to run on (or run from) is a definite factor as well.

In 2008 Obama was a virtual unknown in the world of politics. A jr senator from Illinois he came out of nowhere and exploded on the scene with a cult of personality that just overpowered the well known Hillary Clinton in the primary and made John McCain the stereotypical picture of the Republican party, stuffy, old, white, male. Obama saw this explosion and took advantage of being an unknown, He could be whatever people wanted him to be. He was young, mixed race, had a strong voice and a name that rebellious young liberals knew would piss off their fathers. We had people saying Obama was going to pay off their homes, cars, college loans, Obama himself said that he would end racial tensions in America and would make us loved all over the world on day one. No one cared he had never held a real job, no one read the books on who his father was and where he came from. People were caught up in the cult and never stopped to ask if Obama was qualified to be President of the United States. You couldn't oppose him, if anyone asked questions you were shouted down as a racist and dismissed. When he hid his college records or distanced himself from the church he sat in for 20 years it made no difference. Nothing could penetrate the cult. But this developed into a weakness no one would see for four years. Obama like the late Michael Jackson had surrounded himself by yes-men, every word he said, no matter how absurd, was praised. When he put on a funny southern accent it was charming, when he made fun of how old McCain was, he was witty.  I'm sure someone even snatched a tissue he sneezed in as a keepsake.

Obama's halo was part of the media's cult image.

Hillary got different treatment.

The mainstream media was complicit in the cult of Obama. They ran with Obama's "Hope and Change" slogan. They swooned, they tingled, they fainted, they slobbered all over themselves to make Obama the sure thing. They even went so far as to bash Clinton, who early on was their golden girl. Remember the halo pictures? The MSM did everything they could to make him untouchable, again using the race card to push down detractors. Obama was their messiah and just like the public, did no vetting of who Obama was. This inflated Obama's ego. Nothing he did caused any strife and he loved every second. But this may be part of his downfall. Now when the media questions him he looks shocked. He seems insulted that anyone would dare question his previously unchallenged intelligence. It's just like raising kids. You can't let them win all the time, you can't tell them they're smart when they answer 2+2 wrong. If you do the child acts petulant and spoiled. Just like Obama at the debates. By never challenging him they turned him into what we see today. The problem is you can't fool all the people all the time.

After four years of Obama's policies the Country is in the slowest recovery in American history, if you believe the recession ended in June 2009 like the administration told us. Obama promised so much in 2008 it should be no surprise that he couldn't get much of it done. But what he didn't do is the least of our problems.  We have big problems and as much as Obama wants you to believe it's Bush's fault, the blame lies squarely on Obama's shoulders. The most stand out of Obama's responsibilities is the national debt. In 2008 when Obama took office the ND was $10 trillion, but a mere 4 years later is $16 trillion. Ignoring Obama's promise to halve the debt by the end of his first term, he has run wild with spending. He once said that the $4 trillion Bush added to the debt in 8 years was unpatriotic. Now he tells us that we have to spend our way out of debt, which if anyone else tried would end up on the street if not jail. Obama took Bush's bail-outs to the next level, not just banks, he bailed out the auto industry, he bailed out "green" energy companies, states, and even some companies that aren't even in America. There's Obamacare, a bill no one wanted but congress pushed through. Then there is the jobs, Obama told us that without his bail-outs the unemployment would shoot up to 8%, he told us by now we'd be somewhere around 5%. Problem is the bail-out was a complete failure, unemployment shot up over 10% and now heavily adjusted we sit at 7.8%. There are over 22.6 million unemployed today, but the number the admin uses is 11 million. They don't count people who have been unemployed so long they have given up looking all together. Obama  has started a line of quantitative easing that led to 2 downgrades of our national credit rating. While these QE's have been holding up the stock market, its a bubble that will burst when the money stops flowing from the government. Economic growth has been stagnant and this is making us look weak across the globe. Iran's dictator has questioned how much longer we can be a superpower with the debt we have. But that is the tip of the iceberg in his foreign policy failures. He let Egypt and Libya fall under the rule of radical islamist, he looked the other way during the iranian green revolution. He sits by while Syria slaughters its own and puts "daylight between the US and Israel". He betrayed our allies Great Britain  Japan, and Poland while bowing to dictators and communist and telling Russian President Medvedev to transmit to Putin that he will be more flexible after the election.

We cannot afford 4 more years of Barack Obama, not in our economy, and not in our national security. We should have been told who he was before he took the most powerful position on the Earth. We needed the MSM to do its job not foist on us an unqualified jr Senator. But now we know, we know who he is, we know what his plans are and we know what he cares about, HIMSELF. We have the ability to stop this train wreck halfway through, we can save ourselves from the rest of Obama's policies and ideas. Ultimately it will be easy, just vote. Vote for Mitt Romey, vote for real change. Change we can believe in.

When 8.6% Is Really 17.2%

I know it's been forever since my last post. I recently moved from Victorville to Los Angeles, I also started a new job. Which is a good thing since I was unemployed for nearly two years  before this. That means by the White House numbers I wasn't looking for work anymore and therefore didn't count towards the unemployment numbers.

Take this week's unemployment change, The number dropped form 9% to 8.6%, now normally that would be great, but the Obama admin skews the number for their own good. Last month 115,000 jobs were added to the overall numbers. Though that in itself in not enough to lower the rate by 0.4, good thing after 99 weeks an additional 320,ooo people are dropped off the list of unemployed with added to the 115k is 435,000 jobs (added) to drop the official unemployed numbers to 13,896,456.

Beyond that fallacy lies an even larger one. The actual number of unemployed is 25,029,907. Every week some more people fall off the "unemployed" list, not because they got jobs but because they "stopped looking". I can tell you the whole two years I was unemployed I never stopped looking. When you add the "stopped looking" people back into the list you get the 17.2% that are actually unemployed.

Obama desperately needs the unemployment numbers under 9%, no president in modern history has been re-elected with unemployment over 8%,  and while 8.6% is over watch the msm they will only acknowledge 8% and push how the great Obama saved the day. Time to take the wool off your eyes, and spread the word. Tell your friends and neighbors not to fall for the administration's illusions.

Don't believe me? Do the math yourself, take the numbers from the debt clock and do the math with the official WH numbers.

Then Came Cain

Editorial note: I know it's been a while since my last post. I have been having technical difficulties and it took too long to get them settled. Thank You for your patience.




Last week the MSM had declared the GOP presidential race a two man race. I never thought so, Herman Cain has always been a front runner to me, and now others are starting to see that politicians are all the same and Cain is no politician. 


In his new autobiography "This Is Herman Cain" (out Oct 4), he talks about ending the cavalcade of stars going through the White House, that alone will save the taxpayers big bucks. He also talks about his fight (and victory) with cancer and how he plans to deal with his lack of foreign policy experience. 


And while the MSM is brushing it off as a nothing story, Cain scored 34% to 39% against Obama in a Rasmussen poll. This is the first time Obama polled below 40%. This bounce could be a fluke, but Cain's 9-9-9 plan seems to be resonating with Americans and like me many are tired of the same old politics as usual. 


Mitt Romney is also still polling high and considered the front runner, but Mitt is the John McCain of 2012. Barely conservative and a you know if the media likes him, that means he's bad news for us. Ultimately I don't know if Herman Cain can secure the republican nomination, but I do know that the election is still over a year away and the front runner this time in 2007 was not John McCain. A lot changes in a year.

Debate On Debates

So after watching the msnbc GOP debate last night I have a few questions. First I have to point out that Herman Cain is still being largely ignored at all of the debates. Before it was not just Cain getting ignored, Gary Johnson was ignored to the point of disappearing from this debate altogether. Ron Paul was also sidelined at previous debates but last night was given lots of face time. Cain was asked four questions in 2 hours and pushed himself into a couple rebuttal answers. Mostly I blame the media, they have made their choice and it is going to be a two man race from here on out, unless Romney of Perry burn out for some reason. I still say we need to leave the politicians behind and put someone in the White House who knows business and is not a beltway insider.

Now for some questions;

• Why do journalist run these debates? 

• Why not people who know what they are talking about rather than bobble-heads who just read what's in front of them? 

• Why let the media dictate topics and set up the candidates to argue with each other? 

• What will it take to get substantive questions and not lightning round nothingness? 

While the others argue the same "social security is broken" points, Herman Cain lays out a plan for how to fix it. That's what I want form all the candidates, more detailed plans on how they are going to undo the mess Obama has put us in and how they plan to put us back on track.

War Protesters! Where?

When George Bush invaded Afghanistan the war protesters were there, when he invaded Iraq the numbers exploded. War protesters were demonstrating across the country. Holding signs that cursed Bush, his family and even calling for him to be hung. Bush also caught a lot of flak for supporting Israel, even though he did very little to help them.

Today, though winding down we still have troops in Iraq. And if you've been watching the news you know they are still dying. Afghanistan is a complete mess, we have no strategy, no plan to win or even an exit. We have dropped bombs and killed Bin Laden in Pakistan. Months not days later we are still in Libya, without congressional approval by the way and it's not winding down either, boots on the ground is inevitable. Now we are dropping bombs in Yemen. But surprise, surprise the protesters are no where to be found.

No one should be surprised by this. The double standard is so obvious here. When it's a Republican he can do no good, and a Democrat can do no wrong. The MSM is complicit in this as well, during the Bush administration there were daily updates on how many soldiers died. When's the last time you saw a body count on CNN?

Basically if you were one of those pacifist that I argued with at school who said war in never right while Bush was in office but are somehow too busy to protest Obama, go take a flying you know what at a rolling donut.

UPDATE: Two more soldiers were killed in Iraq today, and after checking the whole front page of nbc news, I guess it wasn't important enough.

I'm Back

Sorry about that little stretch of quiet, I recently started a new job and have been swamped. The holidays are a busy time at K-Mart, yep I'm working at K-Mart. I can't get into details on K-Mart, there is actually a no social networking clause in my job description. Big K aside, I have been following the news and wanted to comment briefly on some of the big and not so big stories.


First off Korea; North Korea attacked a small island belonging to S. Korea disrupting some war games. The MSM is hyping this into another war. Officially the Korean War was never ended so it would be a re-escalation, but beyond that, this is nothing new. The last power shift in NK between Kim Il-Sung and current despot Kim Jong-Il there was the same show of power type deal. Now Kim Jong-Il is passing the dictatorial torch to his son Kim Jong-Un so it is no surprise NK is acting up. They probably want what they aways want when they do something stupid, more food and money from the US. Which we always give.


The Wikileaks classified document dump is another thing in the news big right now. Again we are not learning anything we didn't already know. Iran was funneling weapons to Hezbollah during the recent spat with Israel, duh! Does something need to be done about this? Yes, of course but is it being blow out of proportion probably to cover another story? I think so.


That story would be the "lame duck" congress going back to their failed agenda. Yes Nancy Pelosi is still in charge and right now as I type House Bill S510 (food safety) is being debated and goes for vote tomorrow. This is another power grab by the federal govt. via the FDA. I feel like American food is pretty safe and letting the FDA run wild with regulations and taxes is just going to hurt us where it counts most, our wallets. But there's more, a week after massive protest in California over the rising cost of universities, the "dream act"  is getting the big push from democrats and RINO republicans. This will allow deportable illegal aliens to attend college at a highly subsidized rate, the cost of this of course falls on us the US taxpayer. The list could go on, but I promised brevity.

To Palin or not to Palin?

There has certainly been a lot of emotion surrounding Sarah Palin in the last 18 months or so, some good, most coming from the MSM just downright mean. When the state controlled media goes to such huge measure to discredit someone you know they are deathly afraid. The Left is doing everything in their power to make sure Sarah Palin is not an option for 2012. The question I present to conservatives is should she be an option?

I have no doubt Sarah is a smart woman, but can she be President? Sure she was a governor, and Alaska is a big state but it's not a very populous state. Now I know you can say the same about Mitt Romney, but his executive experience doesn't stop with being governor. He has big business under his belt, she was a local mayor. Call me sexist but another issue that has to be considered is her children. It's more than just small children but one who is mentally disabled. Having Trig is a very big burden on her, her time will always be split between the country and her children. Sure many Presidents have had children in the White House but it is different with a woman and that one of the children has special needs. Folksy nature isn't a plus either. Jimmy Carter had a folksy nature... Enough said.  Don't misread me, I am not saying a woman can't be President, while I wouldn't have liked her any more than Obama, Hillary Clinton would have been a better choice for the Democrats. She would have been stronger than Obama. Sarah Palin just doesn't have what it takes to be President of the United States. I don't have a magic answer to who should run, but if we want to recapture the Executive Office then we have to find a person who is more than just charismatic and folksy.

Hello America!

I just can't believe how fast we are slipping into outright communism. Obama is not so slowly nationalizing banking, automobile production, student loans and health care. He says judge him by the people he surrounds himself with and files in Van Jones, Anita Dunn, Cas Susstein, Buffy Wicke and ACORN. All of whom identify themself as either socialist or looking to Mao for political guidance.

In California the "Republican" governor recently signed a bill that would require a thumb print and photo ID to purchase ammunition, which I am sure the rest of the Country will follow soon, by making it harder for LEGAL gun owners to buy ammo they are one step closer to the nazi style gun bans and registration hitler had laid out to keep his people under his thumb. It doesn't matter which of the Bill of Rights goes down first be it the second amendment or the fourth once one goes the rest will fall like dominoes.

In the soviet union the state controled the newspaper and it only printed the news the state wanted put out there ignoring the real stories. Here in the USA this is being reborn by the mainstream media (MSM) which is completely devoted to Comrade Obama and badmouthing FOXNEWS the only media outlet that dares to say anything dissenting. Which I might add was encouraged by Nancy Pelosi during the Bush years, but now people who dissent are called a mob, nazis and unpatriotic. How are we supposed to trust the MSM when it's broadcaster get a "thrill up their leg" when Obama talks?

Taxes are sky high and rising with no end in sight. Taxes are being levied on things like juice, soda, sweets, cigarettes, and vegetables. Even with the biggest tax increase in American history the deficit is climbing to uncharted territory. Trillions of dollars of debt being left our children and grandchildren. While social security continues to die it's slow death and the cost of government run health care not even added in yet!

 Roman political philosopher Cicero spoke on the enemy within and how they attack the pillars of society. Have you noticed the pillars of our society being attacked? Police Officers who are doing their jobs attacked by the President himself on television. The Church being attacked on all sides from prayer, Bibles, the Ten Commandments and the name of GOD being removed from our pledge, money and buildings. This Country was built on Judeo-Christian foundation. Wise men who built this house upon a rock. Who over the last 233 years gave Glory and Prayers to God openly during speeches and were not ashamed. But in the last year we opened a WWII memorial with NO mention of God at all! How does this happen? All the great Presidents of the past Washington, Lincoln, FDR and Kennedy spoke of God and how they Prayed daily (there were many more, but these are the one even democrats call great).

 The people are already standing up, the 9/12 march in DC was most likely the largest in American history. Tea Parties are back and I say Samuel Addams would be proud to see what we are doing. I have been to several tea parties myself and intend on going to more. I will blog and make calls, vote when the time comes for real change. Because I have hope in America not the President. There is already a Savior in my life and his name is Jesus Christ not Barack Obama.

Why save them?

The main stream media (MSM) or dinosaur media as I've come to call it consist of TV, magazines and newspapers. All out of touch with the people and or democrat lapdogs. Even foxnews who is called the right wing news station seemed to back Hillary Clinton during the primaries.

Anyway the newspapers who have been loosing reader and subscribers for years are getting to the point where they are gonna start going under... out of business. But just like the govt. is bailing out insurance companies, banks and the auto giants, newspapers want a bailout. The problem with that is the reason the newspapers are failing is no one is reading them. A bail out won't change that. Talk about throwing money in the garbage. If newspapers stopped printing mindless dribble and leftist talking points maybe people would read them again. I had the paper delivered to my house for years but more and more I was frustrated by what I read. With that came the cancellation. Now I know with Obama nationalizing everything else (slowly buy surely) it seems like the next logical step, but the newspapers are already his spin doctors what more could he want from them.

The Internet has proven itself to be a far superior way to follow the news. If the papers wanted to survive they would change their ways to do so. It is time to let them fail. Goodbye New Yuck Times, Los Aimless Times and San Fransicko Chronicle. Your services are no longer required!
