During the first 100 days ONO has been on the news more than Bush or Clinton combined. It is a LOVE fest for the main stream media. Their idol is in place and they simply can not stop covering every move that he makes. And, how they handle what he does is so obviously biased as compared to Bush it is amazing what they criticized Bush for while it is perfectly OK and in fact great when ONO does the same thing. The man can do no wrong in the eyes of the press.
The polls are geared to mislead the public, ignoring the ramifications of his actions while focusing on irrelevant issues, such as how the international community perceives the US now that ONO has been over there and apologized for the US being arrogant, selfish and in all other manners a lousy nation to deal with. This seems to be more important to the ONO worshipers than the fact that we have gone into debt that may bankrupt our country, own half of GM, so far, have plans to increase and increase and increase our debt with fast tracked un-planned programs that will possibly make it impossible to control our debt for the next 10 years...
These programs are going to be run by the same people who ordered and controlled the fly over photo opt in NY. While doing this they kept it secret, the one thing the DIM's complained about so loudly while Bush was in there, his secrecy over unnecessary matters and there you go. This photo session cost in excess of $320,000 while our budget woes go unchecked.
4-28-09 This is getting out of hand big time. ONO's deliberate release of CIA documents regarding the prisoner care and treatment to cater to the demands of the far left wing is going to boil over into a war within our government. ONO released these documents to make himself look good internationally, in his attempt to be the world's rock star. As well as to appease the far left who has a hate agenda they want to complete with regard to the Bush administration.
As I have said before, this was treason in my opinion and will severely hamper our future efforts on national security. I'll stop with that could ramble forever...
They may very well be shooting their selves in the foot on this one. Current members of congress, which includes the ONO himself were advised of the methods back in 2002 and kept advised on what was being done and the progress and information that was obtained. Not until he takes office does ONO think to speak up and oppose these methods and now wants to prosecute those involved.
Should Truman be tried for dropping the bomb? Kennedy for invading Cuba? ONO for having 3 pirates executed?
This release of information was deliberate and will result in serious damage to our national security. Anyone with any amount of common sense realizes this... Time to impeach the sucker for treason!
4-27-09 Last week I saw a news clip of where ONO had made his surprise trip to Iraq and was warmly and according to some reports, wildly received by the troops there. This is in contrast to what I thought was the case... Well...
Seems that the troops that received him were hand picked... Go figure, the majority were black and they had been screened and brought from various places in country, they were not the ones just assigned there. Seems the surprise visit was a bit planned as to who would make up the audience.
It was a set up troop's rally around the commander show.
4-25-09 I have been a member of a survey service that usually on a weekly basis sends me a survey about various consumer items. Nine out of 10 of these things simply ask me what items I have purchased or what items I know about. But, during the election they sent out a couple political surveys, who you were voting for, etc...
Yesterday I got a survey asking me what I thought about ONO and how he was doing. I promptly gave him the lowest rating they offered, but, was after that frustrated by the survey. They asked what issues I wanted him to address. Well, that is the problem, I don't want him to address any issues and turn them into liberal give away bankrupt the country programs! The survey was skewed, after looking at it I can tell you that it will provide them with no information or comparison to anything except the one question on how good of a job I think he is doing.
Previously I had mentioned that the ONO group was using polls to guide them on how the public felt, 4-3-09 in fact. I mentioned that these surveys were only as good as who conducted them and what they asked in the survey. Well, if this was one of them the results CAN NOT be anything but favorable toward ONO. There was no opportunity to do otherwise except rate him one time, no place for comments, nothing... Are these the polls we are seeing reported on how favorable he is, how he is pushing the agenda in the right direction. I and whoever else got this survey had no opportunity to rate him on specific areas... Nice survey or poll whatever you want to call it...
4-23-09 Saw a report where this EPA liberal going green plan will cost some $3,000 per year in utility cost increases. I have no problem with going green, but lets create the solution first before taxing what we currently use. Surely I am not the only one who thinks this way.
The national health care plan, where we will provide health care to everyone is going to have a severe impact on what we now consider as normal health care. Did you know that at this moment 20% of doctors do not accept medicare right now, and that 28% do not accept medicaid... I didn't realize that, I knew that many doctors didn't accept some HMO plans as I have had to look for a doctor a time or two that is in my plan. Why? Simply because they can choose to not see patients who will not provide them with payment for their services. Why would a physician who spent 12 years in high school, 4 years under grad, 4 years in med school and 3-6 years at an internship elect to provide a service for $400 when he could and should receive $1,000 for it? Don't believe me, take a look at Canada, how long does it take to get into a doctor up there for a heart procedure? I think if you studied their system you would not be impressed. This new health care plan is going to dummy down and back log our current medical system. That is of course unless you happen to have a son who is a doctor, who can pull strings for you and get you into appointments that normal people can not arrange.
4-20-09 I've started to write about something several times these past few days, but each time I do something else literally makes my jaw drop. It seems that each meeting that ONO has he is glad handing with his new buddies. Case in point is Chavez, who runs a country that is just at the point of tossing him out for his dictatorship rule tactics and ONO makes him legit in the eyes of the world at this meeting. How do you think those in that country feel now about their plight and future Mr. ONO? I'll not comment on this further as the input so far has been shined up by the main stream press reporting only, we'll comment later. Just one last thought though on this, Chavez did get it right a month or so ago when he called ONO an "Ignoramus"... He got that right!
The safety of our country is based upon open and covert security methods. The betrayal that ONO accomplished by releasing secret memos detailing interrogation techniques was a deliberate move to undermine our national security to appease the Arab nations. I don't know how else to put it... He is a muslim, said so in the book he wrote a couple years ago, now he has provided his people with our methods to gather information under extreme circumstances. Now, our only method is to ask them and ad a pretty please to get the answer. Whether you like it or not, these things have and must continue to exist for the safety of our country. We sit and enjoy our lives, until the day that another 911 incident happens, then we can blame Bush for it because he was mean...
All the praise to ONO with regard to the rescue of the CPT who was being held by those teenager pirates is a sham too as I have read now. ONO's engagement rules showed his inexperience and timid approach to critical issues. Basically, he didn't want them killed, he wanted to negotiate the release. Well, you don't negotiate some things with people who have nothing to loose except their lives. The Navy figured out how to make it happen, that is how it worked, not because ONO told them, I'm sure ONO was upset that they shot them... The solution to the pirate problem is to kill enough of them that they decide to make another career decision before becoming a pirate.
4-15-09 Tax day, TEA parties being held all over the country.... I'm quite frankly surprised that the press is giving it any coverage at all...
This honeymoon and rock star crap the press has for ONO has got to end before anything can be accomplished to get things slowed down or turned around. The press in its very effective way to control the country got him elected and now I believe they realize that they made a mistake. However, how long will it take before they begin to speak out about it? They seem to be falling all over themselves reporting about the dog he got, who cares, we are spending a billion dollars every 30 minutes on projects we don't need, which are not creating jobs in case you haven't noticed, and, AND, we will at some point have to pay for this....
4-13-09 I have read a couple articles with regard to the ONO admin and it's liberal cronies wanting to grant unconditional amnesty to all current illegal aliens. I don't know about you but that is just wrong! They have said several things about it but the bottom line is that it will give them an incredible voting boost in all future elections. Wouldn't you vote for the party that granted you free citizenship, free health care, social security and a steady income from your monthly check? I'm in the wrong party that is for sure!
I hope this does not pass, I don't see how we can overcome it if it does! Common sense and reason has got to come into play somewhere on this...
As mentioned before, if you have read my rants before, are the increases in taxes and fees and fines and surcharges and penalties that will and are being created to compensate government's for this spend and spend some more method they are using. You have no doubt heard of NY and its 100 new increases... Well, add CA, NJ, OR, IL, WI, WA, AZ & MI to this list. If you have been paying attention you know what most of these states have in common... I'm not going to tell you if you don't know...
4-6-09 The ONO administration is focusing on the things that are most important to them. They have announced and will make some serious cuts in the military budget. While doing this they continue to say that we will talk Iran into talking with us, Russia too, N. Korea and so it goes. With no regard for the military and now a indication that they will weaken or remove the "patriot act" our home land security is at risk. With that addressed, the ONO's focus on the important items on their agenda, legalizing Pot and legalizing same sex marriages.
To all you religious Democrats out there, congratulations!
Everything I read points to the ONO plan to take control and basically socialize society. From bank control, auto maker control, health care and on and on. Spend with no end in sight will result in taxes and pay backs that will exceed anything we can imagine. The press is on his side, the people are playing Ostrich and hiding their heads in the sand, one day perhaps we will wake up people..
Truth is there are so many issues out there to address that I have no idea what it is or which one pisses me off the most. For instance, the promise to not raise taxes on anyone making less than 250, 200, 150, 100k that ONO made has immediately been broken with the incredible hike in tobacco tax. Now I don't condone smoking but they know that 90% of those who do smoke are in the lower income bracket. The new tax is designed to reduce smoking, well ok, continue to phase it in, this increase was way to big. The leading cause of deaths (as they say) is smoking related, well, you are hearing it here first then, it is not the leading cause of deaths, being FAT is... I'm not talking about the 55 plus American who naturally grows bigger with age, I'm talking about the 12 year old, the 20 year old who you can see anytime you go into a Wal Mart waddling down the isle or sitting in one of those handicap carts parked in the middle of the isle blocking anyone from getting around them. These are the people that have a problem, maybe they should smoke?
Time to do as I have done, I have written my Dem representatives, (twice now) expressing my displeasure over the spend and spend tactics, attempts to control the newspapers, GM, banks, health care, etc... Write and tell them what you think, in each letter to them I asked them to conduct a survey or a poll, that they would find out that the majority is NOT in favor of what is happening since ONO took office. Do your part, write yours, easy to find, just do a search for them and they all have on-line mail contact forms or information.
With the large numbers of readers I have here on my ONO tirade page, please note that we are taking a short trip and I will not post again until probably no earlier than the 12th or 13th... Until then keep your hand on your wallet and enjoy it while you have it.
4-3-09 An article in "Politico" covers the ONO administration and its polling operation. Where ONO is using 3 pollsters to provide him with the "heartbeat" of America with regard to his policies. These pollsters are not duly elected, official, appointed or veted government workers, they are simply "pollsters" who make their living conducting polls. The worry here to me is who are these people going to poll? If you go to New Orleans's and poll, or CA, or NY or IL, your numbers are going to be far different than what I am seeing and hearing. Governing by poll results is not in my opinion a very wise method as the numbers you receive can be skewed by where you conduct the poll, who conducts the poll and what are their motives in giving you the numbers. Are the pollsters going to give you the numbers you want to hear, or should you take the pulse of the country by looking yourself at what is happening. I don't consider this as good news...
4-1-09 April fool's day, how appropriate my comments will be here today.
I think if everyone sat down and had a discussion, you would hear such things as one cause for the problems with the economy right now is partly to blame on the uncontrolled lending and spending that occurred. Now we can debate to what degree this is a problem. 10%, 90%, somewhere between. It stems from people buying houses that required no down payment, where they were encouraged to buy, go ahead and borrow, the property value will go up, no problem. So, they did, and at the same time they borrowed on their credit cards, bought a new car, etc... All the while knowing that they did not have the money to pay for what they were buying. That part I don't get myself. I have never ever bought anything that I could not afford to buy. Doesn't make sense to me how or why anyone would do such a thing.
So, lets call it whatever percentage of the problem you choose, whatever makes you comfortable, and now lets look at how we are solving the problem.
What we are doing is producing money that we do not have. Literally, they have to print the paper to use it. The ONO administration is borrowing all this money they don't have to send out to recover from all the failed loans where people borrowed money they didn't have. Wow, that is hard to write, had to read it a couple times to make sure it makes sense. Borrow money to replace borrowed money. OK dokey!
Umm, do you see a flaw in this anywhere?
When this all hit the fan, banks realized that they were loaded with bad debt, as a result they began to fail. No more money, simple to understand, they gave all their money out and now nobody will pay it back, so, no more money...
However, the ONO administration has an advantage. They can print more money at their discretion. Then they can print more, then some more and keep on as long as they want. Or, until other countries realize that the US dollar is not money anymore, it is play money... Europe at the G20 summit now going on has already noticed, China has already noticed, they all are saying what I just said here, what ONO is doing doesn't make sense...
We give money to the banks to let them loan more money. We give money to AIG, FDIC, etc., which insures bad loans. Phew! We loan out bad money and insure it at the same time. Now, we are taking over a private company which has been mismanaged for years. GM and we are guaranteeing every warranty on all their cars. ONO went on tv and did what he does best, read his teleprompter and became a car salesman... It is a LEMON! Run! All the while knowing that the only solution is for GM to go bankrupt and start over, which is what they should have done years ago.. Again, ONO is giving money to GM, knowing full well his advisors are saying the only solution is going to be them going bankrupt and therefore have no money to pay what we just loaned them back!
As Forest Gump often said, "Stupid is as Stupid does"... Only problem with all this is that even though it is April fool's day, this is not a joke... IT IS OUR MONEY HE IS PLAYING WITH!
How long will ONO the rock star, the pharaoh, the Messiah be held aloft by the adoring press and those who chose to vote for him. Will it be after he has spent the full 13 trillion in stimulus and bail out packages he has proposed, or will it happen sooner, will people not realize that we are heading around in a circle, that we are creating the exact same problem we are trying to solve?
