Yes, we can
Hopefully, all American voters and even the illegal ones will see that "yes we can" means we can vote the radicals out of office if we put our noses to the grind stone and support those candidates who actually know and understand the Constitution and get off out butts and participate in the election process. 2009 showed all America that nothing is impossible when we unite in a common cause. Hopefully, in 2010 we will steamroll into the fall elections and pull this country back from the abyss of socialism.

What the lame-stream media is not telling you.
When the earthquake struck Haiti, the US responded as we always have with aid. Our military responded as they have in past with such disasters. However, in this event the US military is not in charge, but Pres. Obama has directed USAID to oversee the disaster. Now for those that were wondering why there was a delay in getting supplies distributed and why we could not open additional landing sites for planes at the airport you now have the answer. Our military, as proven in peace and war, can open landing areas for planes quickly because this is what they can do and are trained to do. However, when you put an organization of people in charge that cannot tell the difference between saving lives by getting aid quickly establishing MASH units to serve the Haitian victims and supply distribution areas to feed and clothe the victims and what toilet is used for, explains the why questions that are not being answered. God forbid we take a tragedy and turn it into Obama’s Katrina.
Yes Virginia, there is a God.
To paraphrase the editorial response to the letter from a child named Virginia on whether there is a Santa Claus, we can now say with certainty concerning the election of Scott Brown to the US Senate that there is a God contrary to what the secular Democrats want you to believe. An election that the Democrats thought was untouchable since it belonged to the Kennedy’s for over 50 years, both Jack and Ted, that there was no way the liberal voters in Massachusetts would vote for anyone but a Democrat, especially a hand picked candidate. However, the arrogance of the Congressional Democrats and the Obama Administration in pushing bill after bill through because they had a majority in both houses finally got to the people who voted for change, and not the version of change that the Democrats were doing. The arrogance, bribes for votes and ignoring the outcries of the public at town halls and tea party assemblies was not the change expected by the voters in 2008. The Founding Fathers established us as a Republic where the government is answerable to the public through elected representatives and not a democracy. After all we had the Democratic government of East Germany before it collapsed and North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba plus other socialist countries also like to call them a democracy. Look it up and you will see the difference.

Stimulus and Jobs-Another phony stat.
The White House sent a memo to federal agencies last month, announcing that it would no longer count a job as "saved or created" by the stimulus, but rather count the number of jobs "funded" by the stimulus.
That means any "stimulus" money used to cover payroll will be included in the jobs program, including pay raises for existing employees and pay for people who were never in jeopardy of losing their positions.
However, on Tuesday the White House Council of Economic Advisors claimed the stimulus created or saved 1.5 million to 2 million jobs last year.
Rea Hederman, a senior policy analyst at The Heritage Foundation, says the Obama administration is changing the rules of how it originally decided to count jobs as "saved" in an effort to make the stimulus "look better" and "save themself from future embarrassment." He notes many people were skeptical of the President's earlier claim that the stimulus had saved 650,000-plus jobs.
"A number of newspapers went through and said, 'Wow, how can you say this when Arizona doesn't have a fifteenth congressional district?' A lot of newspaper articles were focused on how ludicrous these numbers were when somebody who's bought ten pairs of shoes said that he created 20 jobs," Hederman reports. "A lot of confusion in the numbers that the administration originally put forth came under a great deal of attack, and so the administration said, 'Wow, that way is too complicated. Let's just say now that any job that kind of handles or receives any type of stimulus money is counted as saved.'"
The policy analyst says, for example, a secretary handling a stimulus-related project is now being counted as a job saved even if her job was never in danger to begin with.

Health Care and Mass. Senate Election
With the threat of State Senator Scott Brown having a possibility of winning the election for Sen. Kennedy’s vacant seat, the Democrats are pulling out all stops to get the Health Care bill passed. This week we have had extensive behind closed door meetings in an attempt to rush through this bill for a vote before Scott Brown would take office if he won the election. It has also been rumored that the Mass. Secretary of State may do his best to delay the certification of the election if Scott Brown wins in order to give the Congressional Democrats as much time as possible to vote on the Health Care bill. Deals are being made behind close doors to big labor and other Democratic supporters to the determent of the rest of the public who will be forced to pay for this bill through taxes on their benefits they pay for and taxes on their earnings. If you believe that only those earning more than $250,000 will pay for this Health Care bill, then you should go back to sleep.

Surprised?
We were advised by President Obama’s security advisor that we would be shocked by what President Obama would be revealing on his speech to the public on the terrorist attack on Christmas day in Detroit that fortunately failed. Well, we all waited with great anticipation and what was the shocking news, nothing that has not been said already. However, Homeland Secretary Janet Napolitano and security chief John Brennan did admit that they were surprised that this attack was attempted by a lone person. DUH. I guess they have poor memories since we did have a shoe bomber that attempted the same thing or the terrorist attack at Fort Hood and the shooting in Arkansas of two soldiers at a recruitment center. All by individuals. But, I guess when you keep your head in the sand, you just don’t get it.

When?
When will President Obama, his administration and the Democrats realize that terrorism is more of a threat to this country than global warming, healthcare, corporate bailouts and Cap and Trade legislation? Hopefully, before another 9/11.
