I nopw hear people calling into talk radio to defend obama by saying America is now respected in the world
oh, really? BY who? The Noble peace “committee” and obsequious “thank you sir may I have another” Gordon Brown are about the only ones who come to mind
Obama and Holder want to close Gitmo to show the world we are better than who? Al Qaeda? Iran? North Korea? Cuba?
As Ann Coulter said, if the world hasn’t already figured that out, screw them.
I honestly NEVER thought I would miss Jimmah.
I don't miss Jimmah but I would take him in a heartbeat over the BOZO in there NOW. At least Jimmah was a veteran. . . . .
I don’t think one day went by this year when he didn’t say or do something outrageous.
Chilling prophecy at the end, but unfortunately probably accurate.
It’s never as bad as you think it is...except this time. Not trying to use hyperbole or melodrama, but I am afraid for this country for the first time in my life.
Obama and his cronies are killing the meritocracy that made this nation prosper. Atlas is beginning to shrug.
The people who saw Obama as a savior and not a politician got us into this mess.
Now some/most of them are left scratching their heads, unable to admit their guilt. I have these people in my family, my office... I’ve found it hard not to be bitter and angry at them. My faith tells me to love thy neighbor, however, I have contempt for their stupidity.
I still wonder how Obama even got as far as he did, the trickery and deceit he spewed on a daily basis. After the election last year, I called my brother who is a flaming liberal. I told him that I hoped his vote was worth it. He was smug and gleeful, of course. I told him that a year from now, he won’t be so excited. He’ll be questioning his own values and morals, knowing he had a hand in the country’s demise. At the time, he had his predictable comments about Bush and the mess he got into. I told him I agree to an extent. There’s no denying Bush had a hand in where we stand. But Obama will have the hand in where we fall. And I hung up.
While he is not exactly seeing the light, he’s come around to at least admit this wasn’t what he voted for.

Our Year of Obama

Now is the winter of our discontent,
made more bitter by having an anti-American Socialist running and
ruining our beloved country.

BTTT
In my rather long adult life I have never seen a President who so directly effected individual citizen’s lives. A friend and I were comparing notes, such as:
1. Our laying off of entire staff and restructuring to avoid ever having to hire anyone
2. Absolutely eliminating buying anything on credit and even closing out business lines of credit
3. Not investing in RE
4. Not investing in anything in the U.S.
5. Advising our children to not become entrepreneurs
6. Suggesting to young people that they get a job with the Federal Government because that is the only place where a future lies at the present time
7. Suggesting to young people that they get involved in local politics, such as on school boards and thus begin the long, slow process (if even possible) of taking back the seats held by the pony-tail (now grey) crowd who took them over three and four decades ago.
Now, many of you will disagree, saying that this approach is ‘caving’ but the passage of more than five decades and an understanding of history says otherwise. Also, more than five decades of sloshing in the business world makes one rather hard and realistic.
I don’t think BO “ran as a moderate” as VDH states.
a six-year old kid could see through his BS—even last year when he tried to gift-wrap it a bit.
God damn the useful idiots who fell for it......
And exactly where did that shrillness come from to start with, and who were the people that used it day after day, week after week? I liken it to a fire department that starts fires then wants credit for putting them out.
I have given up on the idea that enough of us will come to our senses to recognize what's happening and put a stop to it. Not because I lack faith in America, but more because I know how badly we've been dumbed-down and how ardently the MSM works to use that dumbness to reinforce the idea that Bush was bad and anything would be better.
Bush went to Washington with the avowed purpose of bring bipartisanship to national politics. Gawd, how I hate that word! The GOP Senate agreed to ‘share power’ with the dethroned Democrats. And how did that work out for us, and them!
Ping !
