Here in America, those who aim for chaos are protesting in the streets against the nation's law enforcement over false yet perceived truths regarding treatment of minorities. Most of these folks are paid operatives, with a smaller percentage useful idiots who are all too eager to fight the man.
Sadly, thanks to the horrendous policies of the Obama administration, these morons might soon be clamoring for the help of our talented and outstanding law enforcement officials, as all of us have been proclaimed as targets for Radical Islamic terrorists around the world. It should be noted members of the terrorist groups that aim us harm are in the United States.
So, it goes without saying that freedom everywhere suffered at the hands of the terrorist act in Paris last week; an act without question perpetrated by Radical Islamic terrorists.
While President Obama has declared the global war on terror over and al Qaeda on the run, the actual terrorists are running roughshod across the globe, seizing territory and engaging in murderous mayhem. ISIS, Boko Haram, al Qaeda; you name it, they are calling out their targets and inflicting terror.
While there are many recent terrorist acts worth noting, the events in Paris, where Radical Islamic terrorists killed 17 people in incidents at two location, seem to have the feel of the shark being jumped.
As Mark Steyn so appropriately said, "Obama talked the talk, but those guys walked the walk."
The Obama administration refuses to publicly recognize who is actually inflicting these acts of terrorism across the globe, such a glaring omission that even the mainstream media is down right confused. Why can't the Obama administration admit what the entire globe knows; that Radical Islamic terrorists are committing acts of terrorism in increasing and alarming fashion from sea to shining sea?
Perhaps we should think back. Obama passed judgement on those who would dare "slander the prophet of Islam". You may recall this quote from a speech Obama made last year at the United Nations: "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam".
In page 261 of Obama's book "Audacity of Hope", Obama stated the following: "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction". So when the world came together for a unity rally in Paris, it should not shock anyone that Obama would not be in attendance. While some exhibit their colossal ignorance thinking it was an oversight, or perhaps not feasible due to logistics, Obama has told us where he stands; over and over again. There is no way he would attend the rally.
While the French Prime Minister appropriately labeled France as "at war with Jihadism and Radical Islam", it did not take long for some backtracking, even by French President Francois Hollande, and for many on the left to blame France for the attack. While French policies of appeasement and socialism have led to a failed society of multiculturalism, the entire blame for the terrorist attacks lands squarely on the feet of the Radical Islamic terrorists who committed the acts.
Connecting the dots is not difficult. As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu correctly stated speaking at the rally, "the world is now understanding the threat of extreme Islamic terrorism". Far be it for me, but I though this was quite clear at about 4:30PM on September 11, 2001.
President Obama is lacking in so many regards, but intelligence is not among that list. Obama has a long history of, at the very least, being sympathetic to groups, or nations, that are Muslim and coexist with terrorists and their organizations. Note his position, against American policy, as an opponent of Israel. Note his warmth to The Muslim Brotherhood, and his swift anger with Egypt who dared to oppose their actions. Consider his lack of action as agents of Islamic terror move toward forming a Greater Syria establishing a caliphate in the middle east.
And ask yourself why under Obama does the United States continue to release prisoners who only return to wage terror on us again? Is he on their team? Obama seems to be operating a turnstile of terror.
As cynical as I am, I cannot believe President Obama wishes harm inflicted on world citizens by these agents of terror, but he certainly is not only sympathetic to Islam, he sides with them against us when "things turn ugly". He told us so.
Things got "ugly" in France last week. You saw where Obama stood, and it was not in France at the rally.

The Joke Is On US
On an evening a couple of weeks back, President Obama spoke to nation regarding the terrorist group ISIS running roughshod over most of Iraq from their apparent bases in Syria. ISIS is a major concern to most knowledgeable Americans, and the speech by Obama was of keen interest.
You might think this would be a tough speech for Obama, who although vehemently opposed to US military interaction, faces few if any alternatives than to use our armed forces to stop this legitimate threat to peace across the globe. In addition, it has been Obama who has arrogantly informed us that he kept his promise by leaving Iraq and decimating al Qaeda.
Yes, I am aware ISIS is a direct offshoot of al Qaeda, the group the administration boasted about dismantling. Like most everything else from the White House; nothing but propaganda.
Speaking of that, the speech opened up, not with commentary on the rising threat of evil we are facing, but a couple of minutes on how his policies has strengthened our economy, created more jobs than any recent administration and expanded opportunities for working class families. A complete fabrication of the truth.
If that was not insulting enough, Obama delivered a few moments of commentary in his routine condescending manner that Islam is not in any way a root of this problem, rather a peaceful religion we as Americans should embrace as part of our national fabric. I wish I were joking.
Actually, the joke is on us.
Obama has had it wrong from the get go, and if as James Madison told us, Americans were armed with knowledge, this transformative dovish narcissistic neophyte would have never been elected once, much less, twice.
The US interaction with Iraq, both times, was regrettably the correct course of action. Under the surge, we gained victory in Iraq and gave their people a shot at establishing a sovereign nation of freedom. They needed continued support, but under Obama, after telegraphing a timetable, he directed our premature departure, snatching defeat from victory.
Without the presence of the US in the region, the opportunity for al Qaeda to resurface was presented.
The actions taking place in the region were predictable, and President Bush informed the nation what we would be in store for if we departed the region prematurely. Take a listen:
Bush was ridiculed (that Alinsky technique is omnipresent is it not ) relentlessly, but he was absolutely correct. You just heard the evidence.
Come to think of it, looking back at the scorecard, although the media delivers propaganda to the contrary, Obama fails miserably to GOP leaders on the issue of foreign policy. Here are three significant examples.
The laughing stock of all progressive land, it turns out Sarah Palin accurately predicted that Obama would implement policies which would project weakness and create an environment in which Russia would consider invading the Ukraine. Bingo.
Way prior to the current activities surrounding ISIS, the US Military has suffered more deaths in Afghanistan under Obama than under George Bush. There is no daily count on CNN, and Cindy Sheehan is not protesting at various gold communities across the fruited plain, but those facts continue to be stubborn.
During the last presidential campaign, VP Joe Biden tried to scare everybody that if Romney was elected, he would bomb Syria, something Obama would never do. Until now.
Also during the last presidential campaign, Obama failed to identify Russia as an enemy, degrading Mitt Romney, who said Russia was "without question our number one geopolitical foe" by saying the 1980's called and want their foreign policy back. Idiot at large, that Obama.
This all would be a Saturday Night Live skit if these issues were not deadly serious, pun intended. If Obama continues to play games and does not get serious about the increasing evils we face, sooner than later, our way of life will be threatened.
I pray our nation remains safe, but should an attack occur, you will know exactly what enemies to blame; foreign and domestic. No Joke.

Legends In Their Own Minds
Oh, those victories are piling up, aren't they.
Although we are continuously informed of unimagined success via false rhetoric and propaganda, the reality on the ground cascades into defeat.
At least President Obama is a legend in his own mind, and in the narrow halls of the Obamabots mind sets.
Our opponents stand in astonishment that we have elected such an individual to lead our once great nation; either an economic and international relations neophyte or an individual with identifiable to goals to bring this country to its knees through wealth redistribution to seemingly right ill-perceived wrongs in effort to promote social justice with equal opportunity, and outcomes.
Both lines of thinking will escalate the demise of this nation as we have known it, and just might get tens of thousands killed.
Take the Global War on Terror.
According to Obama, under his brilliant leadership, al Qaeda is on the run, with only factions, or in the words of that major sports fan Obama, the jay-vees, still causing limited trouble these days. The war is over, again not possible without his intellectual acumen, and we can all rest easy now.
Except, the al Qeada flag was just recently raised over Fallujah and Ramadi, both located in the Anwar province of Iraq. In fact, as Breitbart reports, Jim Bridenstine (R-OK), a former Navy pilot and combat Veteran in Iraq, says these locations are being used to launch attacks into Syria.
Remember Syria?
Recall back in August, President Obama took to the national airways to plead for national support to take this country to war against Syria, who Obama described as having used chemical weapons on its own people. What ever came of that? Why is Obama no longer tearfully concerned about those poor children.
President Obama, not considering victory as a goal, informed a war weary nation he would end the war, and in his mind, he has with roaring success. But in reality, he has waved the flag of surrender, (don't think for a moment he finds this negative), making all our spilled treasure practically worthless all the while having placed the United States in an increasingly vulnerable position.
Our "scheduled" retreat provides far reaching opportunities for our enemies, and while everything is sunshine and lollipops according to Obama and his propaganda mechanized media. Last Christmas Eve, Buck Sexton of The Blaze, offers us a legit scorecard of our foreign policy and national security.
There have been such "limited"events such as the Boston bombing, but none are more attention grabbing at the moment than the warnings of terror attacks surrounding the upcoming Olympics in Russia.
Amid a rash of terror threats, considered by most as active and alarmingly legitimate, there is growing concern worldwide which has resulted in unprecedented steps being taken to secure the games. Alerts for as many as four "black widows" and a "white widow," the wife of a dead terrorist, have been released by authorities, with fear these operatives have already infiltrated the immediate area of the games.
The hunt is on, and various news agencies, including FOX News and CNN, have reported that the US has positioned war ships within reach for a multitude of scenarios.
Russia President Vladamir Putin has vowed to "do whatever it takes" to secure the games, but Russia has a tainted history in dealing with these terrorists. Putin does not appear to be seeking much help from US authorities, although past working relationships in this arena have achieved results.
Sadly, the United States, under President Obama, has no credibility in terms of working relationships with allies in this arena, and furthermore, through weakness, has failed to present a stern front against the terrorists, rather embracing bad actors who harbor terrorists while embracing dialogue with those countries who actively engage in terrorist activities. See Iran, who is now estimated to be only within weeks of being able to produce a nuclear weapon.
It is this lack of resolve, void of leadership, and a dovish if not sympathetic position on the extensive dangers of terrorism, that emboldens our enemies and increases opportunities for their success. I subscribe to the Reagan philosophy of peace through strength, which is the opposite of the international relations being currently implemented by this strong reemergence of the blame America first crowd.
The global war on terror is not over.
I fear, having put these small minded arm chair philosophers fresh from the faculty lounge in charge, America and our partners in the west may indeed pay a steep price for not fighting these terrorist with a full arsenal. If so, the reasons we were placed in such a position of vulnerability should be quite clear.
It would rest with our current leadership, Ms. Clinton included, who are legends in their own minds.

Never Forget
 |
| The World Trade Center |
Have you forgotten?
Windows on the world
Evil spit in our face on the morning of September 11, 2001. As America sought comfort on this horrendous day, most found God watching over us. We had faith, which helped us through the incredible grief. With evil lurking all around us, we found love, courage and faith standing tall in the fire.
Although this is a day of remembrance, we must never forget!I have not forgotten. Never Forget! Political correctness be damned, we must remain committed to taking out evil wherever it exists, foreign or domestic.
GOD BLESS AMERICA

Liars Lack Credibility
 |
| President Obama; Commander Clueless At Large |
"My credibility is not on the line," quipped President Obama today regarding his red line he never spoke of regarding the use of chemical weapons in Syria.
Problem is, Obama has no credibility.
"The international community’s credibility is on the line. And America’s and Congress’s credibility is on the line."
In response to appearing most weak, Obama throws the international community under the bus for attempting to set a level of standards in times of conflict that adhere to common decency and follows by hammering the Congress for being part of such an agreement.
The comments are really an effort to discredit Republicans and the use of force by those countries able to successfully conduct military operations. Only when the administration find the international community has the "responsibility to protect" would military action seem appropriate.
From the beginning of Obama's administration and his apology tour, there has not been an international relations plan anyone can make sense of. The Arab Spring was a disaster everyone but he and his staff saw in the making, and the orchestrated events in Lybia has moved the country into lawlessness and ruin and has resulted in Egypt in turmoil.
Furthermore, truth and the adherence to the rule of law have been absent, a critical matter of trust. One could surmise the administration has been less than forthcoming, but the fact of the matter is those the are charged to report to are left facing distortion, stonewalling, mistruths and deception.
This would include negotiations surrounding the auto bailouts, Fast and Furious, the stimulus, the unemployment rate, the NSA scandal, the IRS scandal and most notably, the events in Benghazi where four patriots, including our Ambassador, were murdered.
The administration is not credible, and Rep. Jeff Duncan, R:SC, made the charge while grilling Secretary of State John Kerry, who is an appalling individual, lacking character and credibility, who although serving in, has exhibited great disdain for our military over the years.
I have no access to any military intelligence and can only speculate on the real story from what I can ascertain from following the events, deciphering what I can from media reports and hearing testimonials. But, it seems clear chemical weapons were utilized in Syria.
However, in my opinion, there are a myriad of outstanding questions that must be addressed before we risk the lives of our servicemen. Primarily due to the mind boggling foreign policy of this administration, this situation has really become one were neither side, either the administration of Bashar al-Assad or the rebels made up of factions of Al-Queda and the Muslim Brotherhood, deserves any support from Uncle Sam.
Interestingly enough, we apparently know the issues in Syria like the palm of our hand but were paralyzed at the time and remain quite puzzled at what transpired in Benghazi. We actually thought is was because of a video. I don't buy it, and nor should you.
Going against Assad, as Obama is asking Congress for approval in doing, puts us on the side with the Muslim Brotherhood and factions of Al-Queda, both of whom I consider our enemies. Problem is, I doubt President Obama considers agrees. As Sen. Ted Cruz, R:TX, said, "we should not be “al-Qaeda’s air force."
The entire operation has come about quickly for some reason, with somewhat of a sense of urgency. I wonder why, but then again, there is golf, fundraising and world travel going on.
The case is weak, and we are asked by the same hypocrites who railed against George W. Bush, who had a library of info compared to Kerry's briefcase, to seemingly blindly accept their premise and jump on board.
No such luck with me. It is noted many seemingly knowledgeable people have, including Jennifer Rubin over at The Washington Post.
We should not tolerate the use of chemical weapons and there may be some additional reasons to be involved, but we have not been informed of what they may be. I got some ideas, coming up in a later post.
Certainly, I am not against military action when necessary, provided we go kick the ass out of our opponent and come home. For us to engage, there must be a strategic plan of action, rather than a rushed effort with no stated goal or end game.
In my view, the administration has presented themselves as liars ( perpetrators apprehended and punished in Benghazi?) and thieves (monetizing of the debt), misrepresenting and distorting facts ( no red line drawn). They are not to be trusted, and get no quarter from me.
Obama thinks he is loved from the night sky to the ocean floor, but only he and a few remaining Obamabots still think that. The truth of the matter is, that other than attempting to save what limited credibility Obama and the US still clings to on the world stage, there is no strategic US interest or reason to be involving ourselves, and placing at risk the treasure of our servicemen and women, in yet another middle east skirmish, particularly with no strategic plan.

Adults Only
Tonight is the third and final debate between Gov. Mitt Romney and President Obama. Although momentum is expanding for Romney, the mainstream media calls the election an essential toss up, so the debate will be very important.
The topic of the debate tonight is foreign policy.
Certainly, Americans are thrilled that Osama Bin Laden was killed and that many drone attacks have taken out many al-Qaeda leaders. However, employing any sound assessment, foreign policy under Obama is a mess. Right out of the gate, the policies went south due to the ideology of President Obama, which seems to be at odds with many of the long held positions of Uncle Sam. Check out the following:
*Immediately, clearly a front man on the blame America first team, Obama embarked on an apology tour, which was was nothing short of despicable.
*In picking who to and who not to help overthrow, Obama welcomed in the Arab Spring, which has failed miserably and has "surprisingly" ushered the Muslim Brotherhood into increasing power.
*The treatment of Israel by our anti-colonialist President has been appalling, and very dangerous having emboldened our enemies.
*The events surrounding the death of Ambassador Stevens and three other patriots in Bengahzi has been astounding. The administration is either extremely incompetent or has engaged in a cover up and has been lying to the American public. I will take gun running for $1000 please. Although the media has not fully engaged the story, these events are beyond troubling will continue to unfold.
Blogposts galore could be written on each of those topics, but a national security issue which should come up this evening places America in a very dangerous positions, and that is our economic position.
When Ronald Reagan talked about peace through strength, he was not only talking about military strength, but economic strength as well. A strong foreign policy must be based on a strong economy.
With President Obama expanding entitlements in effort to crash the system and redistribute wealth, liabilities have been placed on our economy that when coupled with declining tax receipts and increasing energy costs, has placed America in peril.
With all these issues bearing down upon us, Obama seems more concerned with his celebrity status rather than focusing on governing and fixing the problems. In the campaign, Obama has not given us detail about his plan for the next four years, rather has fallen back to the Alinsky methods demonizing your opponent.
As Obama has said, "And that's to be expected, because if you don't have any fresh ideas, then you use stale tactics to scare voters. If you don't have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone people should run from. You make a big election about small things".
Obama doesn't and he has. The war on women, throwing Grandma over the cliff and Big Bird are certainly very small things against tens of extremely significant and perilous problems.
In consideration of the mounting issues crippling our country, I hope and pray that America sees these men for who they are. One man is a principled, God fearing individual who seeks freedom based on free market principles and respects the history and founding principles of America. The other man seeks class warfare, is an elitist who finds government solutions superior to free enterprise, is a citizen of the world who finds the exceptionalism of America offensive and is enacting policies designed to contract our economic power through the redistribution of wealth.
With America on the brink, it is far time to put an adult back in the Oval Office, who is committed to making life better for all Americans rather than hanging out with celebrities, circling the talk show circuit and improving the golf handicap.

Information Misrepresentation: Obama
Information presented to the Public by various outlets is being crafted to misrepresent reality in an effort to skew political thinking, gain economic advantage and nudge social justice further down the American psyche. This is the second in a series of blog posts detailing instances in this regard, as it is imperative the Public recognize the significant level of misrepresentation and how vast the manipulation is.
President Obama, who one would suspect is extremely busy in efforts to solve the myriad of significant issues our country is presented with, most notably the highest sustained level of unemployment since the Great Depression, continues to find time to display mind boggling levels of arrogance on a variety of media outlets. Last week, in an interview with 60 Minutes, Obama not only mangled the truth in description of the performance of his administration, but stretched his high altitude narcissism to incredulous levels. See the piece below:
In response to 60 Minutes Correspondent Steve Kroft asking about Obama's accomplishments, the President offered the following:
Well, we're not done yet. I've got five more years of stuff to do. But not only saving this country from a great depression. Not only saving the auto industry. But putting in place a system in which we're gonna start lowering health care costs and you're never gonna go bankrupt because you get sick or somebody in your family gets sick. Making sure that we have reformed the financial system, so we never again have taxpayer-funded bailouts, and the system is more stable and secure. Making sure that we've got millions of kids out here who are able to go to college because we've expanded student loans and made college more affordable. Ending Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Decimating al Qaeda, including Bin Laden being taken off the field. Restoring America's respect around the world.
This paragraph presents by itself contains a gold mine of delusional comments. If he has all these things to do, which he apparently was unable to accomplish with both house of Congress in Democratic control, one has to wonder with the country in economic peril why he is not working with a sense of urgency.
Obama did not save the country from a Great Depression. Obama has operated from the playbook of FDR, who sought massive government stimulus and implemented the forceful expansion of federal regulations and confiscatory taxation, his intimidation of "the rich," encouragement of labor strikes, and half-baked policy experiments discouraged employers from hiring workers and provided strong disincentives to new business investment, as Amity Shlaes outlined in her book "The Forgotten Man".
The auto industry is not saved. For Uncle Sam to made whole, GM needs about another $20 per share in stock price, and with the debacle otherwise know as the Chevy Volt, the loss of the iconic and sporty Pontiac brand and lagging new auto sales due to economic fear, prospects for a robust, profitable GM look bleak.
Health Care costs are not declining, and endless other slow creep taxation nuggets found within the Health Care bill increase taxes on the consumer, thus handicapping economic growth. With much of the behemoth legislation to come in 2013, fear of increased costs and taxation are significantly hindering business development and expansion, and of course, we could certainly use those jobs.
The massive financial regulations put forth under Obama, most notably the Dodd-Frank Bill, has been a job killer, and is also a continued failure as evidenced by the goings on of Democrat Jon Corzine, the former Governor and Senator from New Jersey, who as director of now bankrupt MF Global is under federal investigation due to 1.2 million dollars of customer accounts that are missing, or stolen, whichever your prefer.
Higher education is not a right, but a privilege, for those who choose to take that path. It is not for everybody, and is affordable if you find the investment to be a worthy endeavor.
While the Obama administration deserves recognition for continuing the assault on al Qaeda and for killing Osama Bin Laden, our foreign policy is abysmal. To the contrary from Obama's opinion, we are less respected around the world. Pretty please asking Iran for our lost drone back tells the tale, but beyond that we have radical Muslim influence expanding, have alienated our great friend in Israel and have left Iraq open for the Iranians for political expediency.
Obama really enjoys lying by omission to the citizens, and the following comment is a great example:
"And we ended up asking the wealthiest Americans to do a little bit more in terms of taxes. Going back to rates that would still be lower than they were under Ronald Reagan, our deficit problems would be solved. And I could not get Republicans to go ahead and say, "You're right. We're gonna put country ahead of party."
The legislative branch could possibly be welcome to consider tax rates back to where they were under Ronald Reagan if our country were not 15 trillion deeper in debt (5 trillion and counting under Obama's watch) and bordering a depression with our economic engine stagflating at best. In oppostion to Obama's America, Uncle Sam after three years of Reagan was beaming with optimism as we embarked on a 25 year bull market which Reagan let fire on.
Obama is masterful at making straw man arguments, the following is another great example:
"A balanced approach means exactly what it says. It means it's balanced." I would love to see tax reform. And if we can get a commitment from the Republicans that they want to work on a serious tax reform package that makes sure that the wealthiest Americans are paying their fair share, that is simplifying the tax code, that is lowering rates, but by broadening the base, that's something I'm all for. It's part of my plan. But what we haven't seen is any serious movement on the other side."
Not only did the Simpson-Bowles Commission, a bipartisan committed formed by Obama to offer productive recommendations, have their findings ignored by Obama, several Republican offerings, most notably the plan put forth by Rep. Paul Ryan, R:WI, have been put forth for consideration. Obama does not find them "serious", which means he does not favor them, and therefore he acts as if nothing has been offered. Translation: Liar.
"I mean, the interesting thing is the majority of Republicans actually think we should have a balanced approach to deficit reduction, including tax increases for the wealthy."
am sure that may sound good to much of the 60 Minutes viewership, but if is false. Outside of a handful of RHINO's in the Senate, Republicans are strongly against a balanced approach (raising of taxes) to deficit reduction.
Although I could write 10,000 words tearing this interview apart, in closing comes a staggering comment of arrogance and elitism.
"I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president -- with the possible exceptions of Johnson, F.D.R., and Lincoln -- just in terms of what we've gotten done in modern history."
Passing health care legislation was monumental, however on the destructive side in my view rather the constructive side as Obama sees it. Given the accomplishment, Obama sat the legislation out, turning over the construction of the framework to Nancy Pelosi and the Tides Foundation. Backhanded deal making and payoffs helped push it over the edge late, even though polls, now up to almost 65%, oppose it.
George W. Bush, when asked, said he would let history 30 years down the road grade his contribution as President. Obama, presiding over unquestionable decline, finds himself perhaps equal FDR, whose New Deal along with LBJ's Great Society are bankrupting the country, is arrogant to be sure, but he may have a point. We may not recover from Obama's destructive socialistic policies.
But for Obama to think he resides in the same thought as Abraham Lincoln, there is no doubt we have a delusional, narcissistic individual who feels welcome to state incorrect opinion as fact leading our country into deep and lasting decline.
President Obama, who one would suspect is extremely busy in efforts to solve the myriad of significant issues our country is presented with, most notably the highest sustained level of unemployment since the Great Depression, continues to find time to display mind boggling levels of arrogance on a variety of media outlets. Last week, in an interview with 60 Minutes, Obama not only mangled the truth in description of the performance of his administration, but stretched his high altitude narcissism to incredulous levels. See the piece below:
In response to 60 Minutes Correspondent Steve Kroft asking about Obama's accomplishments, the President offered the following:
Well, we're not done yet. I've got five more years of stuff to do. But not only saving this country from a great depression. Not only saving the auto industry. But putting in place a system in which we're gonna start lowering health care costs and you're never gonna go bankrupt because you get sick or somebody in your family gets sick. Making sure that we have reformed the financial system, so we never again have taxpayer-funded bailouts, and the system is more stable and secure. Making sure that we've got millions of kids out here who are able to go to college because we've expanded student loans and made college more affordable. Ending Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Decimating al Qaeda, including Bin Laden being taken off the field. Restoring America's respect around the world.
This paragraph presents by itself contains a gold mine of delusional comments. If he has all these things to do, which he apparently was unable to accomplish with both house of Congress in Democratic control, one has to wonder with the country in economic peril why he is not working with a sense of urgency.
Obama did not save the country from a Great Depression. Obama has operated from the playbook of FDR, who sought massive government stimulus and implemented the forceful expansion of federal regulations and confiscatory taxation, his intimidation of "the rich," encouragement of labor strikes, and half-baked policy experiments discouraged employers from hiring workers and provided strong disincentives to new business investment, as Amity Shlaes outlined in her book "The Forgotten Man".
The auto industry is not saved. For Uncle Sam to made whole, GM needs about another $20 per share in stock price, and with the debacle otherwise know as the Chevy Volt, the loss of the iconic and sporty Pontiac brand and lagging new auto sales due to economic fear, prospects for a robust, profitable GM look bleak.
Health Care costs are not declining, and endless other slow creep taxation nuggets found within the Health Care bill increase taxes on the consumer, thus handicapping economic growth. With much of the behemoth legislation to come in 2013, fear of increased costs and taxation are significantly hindering business development and expansion, and of course, we could certainly use those jobs.
The massive financial regulations put forth under Obama, most notably the Dodd-Frank Bill, has been a job killer, and is also a continued failure as evidenced by the goings on of Democrat Jon Corzine, the former Governor and Senator from New Jersey, who as director of now bankrupt MF Global is under federal investigation due to 1.2 million dollars of customer accounts that are missing, or stolen, whichever your prefer.
