Sestak, Obama and the lies

Representative Joe Sestak originally indicated that he was offered a high powered position in the Obama administration last February while competing with Sen. Arlen Spector for senator's seat. This allegation as well as Sen. Spector switching parties did not sit well with the voters and Sen. Spector was defeated in the primary. Since President Obama threw his support to Sen. Spector, the allegation made by Joe Sestak seemed very plausible. In fact on numerous occasions, Rep. Sestak repeated this allegation and at no time did he indicate that the position was not a non-paying position. Now, after many months with this allegation hanging out there, the Obama administration issued their statement that seems to conflict with what Rep. Sestak claimed. It does not take a brain surgeon to realize that the response from the Obama administration that former President Clinton contacted Rep. Sestak and made an offer for a position that he could have if he dropped out of the race seems far fetched. Now this position was a non paying advisory board member that did not seem to be such a high powered position. The Obama administration also indicated in its response that Rep. Sestak could keep his position as a Congressmen. Now that seems to conflict with Article 1, section 6 of the U.S. Constitution that does not allow a seating Congressmen to hold an additional position in any administration. I guess, the Obama lawyers are not a smart as they think even though the offer to Sestak was also a violation of U.S. Code. For those that voted for transparency and an end to politics as usual in Washington, got politics as usual as defined by Chicago standards and transparency even though you do not see it. That is how transparent this administration is. Now everyone is coming to Obama's defense by claiming this happens all the time in Washington. So much for change you can believe in, although I believe they mean what happens in Chicago all the time.

Oil Spill

You can be comforted that President Obama has stated that his administration is in charge in the Gulf oil spill. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is overseeing the entire operation and just like she admitted that we are not battling terrorist but man called disasters, you can rest assured that this operation will not be called an oil spill but another man called disaster. Whoa, I think she finally got something right.

Bailouts and Unions

Bailouts seem to be an ongoing mission for this administration and the Democrats. Now there is a move to bailout union pension funds to the tune of $165 billion. The pensions that union leaders were supposedly managing for their members are not living up to what was promised and so they have turned to their “friends” for taxpayer money to bailout their mismanaged funds. Now for all of you who have seen your 401K’s and other retirement investments lose value over the past few years, just remember that your tax dollars will save the pensions of union workers. Through taxpayer dollars, the Obama administration and Democrats are assured of votes of union members in upcoming elections. Just think what a portion of this bailout money could do if it was used to protect our borders.

BP and oil spill

Everyone can agree that British Petroleum (BP) is attempting to do everything possible to stop the flow of oil from the ruptured pipe and since the US government has limited experience in responding to this type of oil spill they must rely on the knowledge and experience of oil companies to work on this problem. However, the US Government does have the experience and know how to deal with the oil flowing towards the coastlines of Louisiana and the other gulf states, and yet they have been slow to respond to request for action from these state governments. I hate to have to say this, but in keeping with the statement that Rahm Emanuel made last year that a “crisis should no go to waste”, the slow response by the government may be intentional in order to push their agenda to prevent oil drilling off our shorelines and in so called environmental areas. When you realize that the Obama administration wants to see a crisis to push their agenda and promote global warming, climate change or whatever they wish to call it. But the question that will go unanswered is why do we allow drilling at such depths when we do not have experience or expertise to deal with leaks? Divers can go 300 feet deep and if we only allowed drilling in this depth, this problem would have been resolved in days. Drilling off the continental shelf where the depth is within this range (up to approximately 460 feet) would present less risk if there was a similar type of rupture. But no one wants to address this topic. Wonder why?

Rev. Wright and Obama

Rev. Wright, from President Obama’s church where Obama listened to the Rev. Wrights sermons for 20 years but has no memory of what was preached, has now claimed that President Obama has pushed him under the bus. Of course we all know that President, Obama wants to avoid any contact with his pastor for the time being. What we do know, the present atmosphere seems to indicate that Muslims and Christians have a compatibility problem around the world. Think maybe that is why Obama has avoided his previous pastor. I am not claiming that Obama is a Muslim, but he has indicated a preference in protecting Muslims and refuses to have anyone in his administration state that radical Islam terrorist are the problem. Rather we have man called disasters and our troops are battling overseas contingency operations. The fact that he resided in Pakistan for many years and attended Islamic Madras’s has no bearing on the issue.

Amazing Administration

The Obama administration is one of the most amazing administrations we have ever had. It seems without knowing the facts, President Obama claims the Cambridge police acted stupidly. Homeland Secretary Napolitano thinks we are fighting a war against man made disasters and not Islamic terrorist. Attorney General Eric Holder thinks the Arizona law may be unconstitutional and yet he admitted before a Congressional hearing that he has not read the legislation but got his information form the news media. Here is a lawyer who should get the facts from the horses mouth, but instead relies on what the lamestream media reports. Also, at the same hearing, Mr. Holder refuses to state that we are fighting Islamic terrorist. It seems this administration has a problem making this claim that the whole world knows is true. Radical Islam is out to destroy those who do not believe in their religion and yet this administration refused to acknowledge this fact, but instead prefers the political correctness approach. And we cannot secure the border since this might offend the Hispanic population. And last but not least and the most amazing, we must spend and borrow to reduce our deficit. Wouldn’t it be great if we all could do that. Just keep on spending and some day, all our deficit spending will produce a surplus in our savings account.

The blame game again

President Obama is quick to criticize the oil companies on the Gulf oil spill for trying to pass the blame onto someone else and he will not tolerate this and the oil companies will take responsibility for what has happen. However, his administration continues to blame the Bush administration for anything that goes wrong since he has taken office. It is obvious, his administration finds it easier to dish it out than accept responsibility for their errors. Mr. Infallible he is not. Mr. Irresponsible he is.

Who is to Blame

It seems since Obama has taken office anything that goes wrong is because of President Bush and when things go right it is because of his administration policies. Since nothing seems to be going right, Bush is the problem. Hopefully after the 2012 elections we will not have to listen to his crap anymore. Will Bush get the blame for that also? That will then be acceptable to hear.

Budget Deficits and Obama

Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress, and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democratic Party. They controlled the budget process for FY 2008 and FY 2009, as well as FY 2010 and FY 2011. In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases. For FY 2009, though, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the FY 2009 budgets.

And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete FY 2009.

If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the FY 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets. If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.

In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.
