Obama Plays Golf While Our Planes Are Bombed

Can anyone remember when President Bush was criticized by the Democrats for 8 years, on their TV shows, for hesitating about 20 minutes in a school function, when informed that a plane had run into the World Trade Center? He was supposed to know that it was not an accident, before anyone else, and was supposed to run out of the grade school crying and screaming, and do something about it.
On Christmas day, we had a Muslim terrorist bomber set off a bomb on an airplane (God willing it didn't blow the plane in half as it could have done). What did Obama do for the next three days? He played golf and cavorted on the beach in Hawaii. No speech, no reassuring of the public, no nothing.
Of course we can't criticize him--he's a Democrat.
It reminds me of Democrat President Clinton. Just before 9/11, our CIA agents had Osama Bin Laden in their sights. They radioed to Clinton for permission to take him out. He wouldn't answer them because he was too busy playing golf at the time. Osama was already wanted for being part of the World Trade Center bombing. Then he succeeded on 9/11/01. All because Clinton was too busy playing golf.
The moral of the story is: instead of talking to school kids, Bush should have been playing golf when we were attacked--then no problem. But, I don't think that would have worked either--he didn't belong to the right party.

Happy Holidays

This is the time of year when Jews, Christians, Muslims, Black Americans, Pagans, and maybe others I'm not aware of, have a major celebration. So, I want to wish everyone Happy Holidays! And, may the good will, giving to the poor, and other good deeds last all year.
There is no reason that we can't get along with our neighbors-if we try. If you can't respect someone else's beliefs, don't expect them to respect yours. We gain alot more if we work together. And, at times like this, we need all the help we can get.
So, the next time you run into someone who doesn't look the same as you, or is from another country, ask them to go have a cup of coffee or something. You might find you have more in common than you think.

When Is Sarah Palin coming to Montana?

I am amazed at the media coverage Sarah Palin received the third week of November. What is going on? She was on every Democrat news show, on TV, every day, since she was on Oprah Winfrey's show November 16/09. I thought they hated her. Now, they are helping sell her book.
There was only one reason the Liberal Democrats were calling her names, and implying she was stupid. They are afraid of her. She was a threat to the election of their Messiah-Obama. Maybe now they don't consider her a threat to their business as usual (higher taxes and socialism).
Of course it is hard for the liberal media to ignore the huge crowds of people who flock to see and hear Sarah Palin in person. At one of the places where she was signing her book, 1500 people camped on the doorstep all night to see her. These are Obama-esque crowds. Of course I don't hear anyone on TV make that comparison.
At noon on Dec. 8, Sarah Palin will be in Billings, MT. She will be signing books at Borders book store, which is on King Ave. near Wal Mart. I am sure there will be a large crowd there too, so go early.
I am going if I can. I got my Going Rogue book from Human Events-along with the free subscription. However, I saw Wal Mart is selling it now. They are going fast. Her book may be the number one seller, according to the New York Times best seller list. Of course this leftist newspaper will keep that quiet if they can, like they do with other Conservative writers.
Be sure to check with Borders book store (near Wal Mart on King Ave.), to make sure Mrs. Palin is going to be there, before you leave home. With all the "Global Warming" there might be a foot of snow on the ground.
See ya there.

Sara Palin on Oprah

During the presidential election, Sara Palin was badmouthed by the Liberal Media and TV watchers who can't think for themself. Newswoman, Katie Couric, tried to stump Palin by asking her about some obscure president of an African country, who most Americans have never heard of--and couldn't care less about.
Later, Katie interviewed Obama. She fawned all over her Messiah and asked about how he met his wife. She should have asked him about Africa since that is probably where he was born.
I signed a petition to get Oprah Winfrey to put Sara on her show. Oprah refused. She was too busy trying to get her Messiah-Obama elected. In fact, the way she gushed about him, and looked at him with those puppy-dog eyes, I think Obama's wife got jealous (there was talk about that).
Now that Obama is elected, and liberals like Oprah are getting what they wanted, Oprah has decided to let Sara on her show. It is hard to ignore her when she is so popular with the people.
Sara Palin will be on Oprah Nov. 16, to promote her new book which is already on the New York Times best seller list--and it is not even released yet. People like me have already ordered this book, which is called: Going Rogue. It will be in the stores Nov. 17. You can get one by going to humanevents.com. It is cheaper that way, and you get a free subscription to Human Events.
People think Sara Palin is stupid because that is what their TV told them. I think when they hear her say what she wants without being held back by McCain, they will learn the truth.

Tea Party Relay for California Farmers

This is important if you like to eat, and care about Americans. The California farmers need our help-now.
The US government is preventing them, in Central Valley, from watering their crops. Their irrigation water has been shut off, because there might be a few tiny fish, smaller than sardines, in the water. These bureaucrats, who don't have a clue about farming, think these tiny fish are more important than the people who have grown food there for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
The U.S. Congress shut off the water. The "Endangered Species Act" was their excuse. Thus creating a dust bowl like the 1930's. The farmers are being starved out on their own land. It is like when Stalin literally starved millions of farmers to death on their own land in Russia. His government wanted the land. Is that what is happening here?
The California farmers are being forced into going to soup kitchens to eat. Many are bankrupt. Thousands of farm related workers and businesses are unemployed. Remember, when a farmer or rancher loses his land, it becomes a subdivision. And, more food is imported from foreign countries where rain forests are cleared for farmland, and cancer causing chemicals are used.
Speaker of The House, Nancy Pelosi, flies over these farmers going from San Francisco to Washington DC all the time. At a cost of $60,000 one way for jet fuel alone (for her taxpayer paid 727 that she fought for). I don't see her helping.
The Tea Party Patriots are trying to help. They have formed the Farmer Relief & Freedom Relay. They are traveling around the U.S.. informing people about the problem, and are trying to raise money to help.. They will be at the Senior Center in Sheridan, WY on November 15 at 3 pm. In the dining room.
I am going with a check book. I hope other people care enough to come listen to the speakers, and drop off a few bucks too. And, I hope the local media supports this cause.
Contact your state and Congressional politicians about this and tell them we need some common sense here. This is not a Democrat or Republican cause, it is Americans caring about Americans.
Get more info by going to: teapartypatriots.org/FarmReliefFreedomRelay/.
If we don't take care of our own hardworking people who feed us, who will take care of us?

CIT Goes Bankrupt Anyway

I was against Bush's bailout of the wall street banks (TARP). At the taxpayer cost of 700 Billion dollars. Now, one of those banks, CIT, has gone bankrupt anyway. And, I wonder if Obama is going to throw more money at them-that we don't have. And, make them a ward of the state like he did Government Motors (GM). And others.
Of course he has about 60% of his Porkulus Bill money left-which is a crock anyway. The gov. doesn't have the money, they are just printing it by way of the Federal Reserve, and borrowing it from Communist China-whose southern region we have to kiss because we owe them billions of dollars already.
You people who keep yourself ignorant of what is going on with the Obamacrats in Washington, you had better start educating yourself. Your family will have to survive all this, somehow. Wait until your taxes skyrocket to support Obama's schemes, and your handouts from Medicare, Medicade, SCHIP, etc. are cut.
This is no time to sleep

Democrat Elitist Nancy Pelosi

This was reported by: Shirley Morrison:


REMEMBER THIS IN THE 2010 MID TERM ELECTIONS!


All Hail Queen Nancy's 757
The Jet is a USAF Boeing 757



*And they STILL want to talk about Sarah's clothing??

People,..... Are you out there?

*MADAME PELOSI*

Madame Pelosi wasn't happy with the small private jet that comes with the Speaker's job...no, Madame Pelosi was aggravated that this little jet had to stop to refuel, so she ordered a Big Fat 200 seat jet that could get her back to California without stopping!

Many, many legislators walked by and grinned with glee as Joe informed everyone what Nancy's Big Fat Jet costs us, the hard working American Taxpayers, for the thousands of gallons of fuel every week.

Since she only works 3 days a week, this gas guzzling jet gets fueled and she flies home to California , cost to the taxpayers of about $60,000 one way!

As Joe put it, 'Unfortunately we have to pay to bring her back on Monday Night.' Cost to us is another $60,000. Folks, that is $480,000 per month and that is an annual cost to the taxpayers of $5,760,000. No wonder she complains about the cost of this war...it might cramp her style and she is styling, on my back and yours.

I think of the military families in this country doing without and this woman, who heads up the most do-nothing Congress in the history of this country, keeps fueling that jet while doing nothing.

Madame Pelosi wants you and me to conserve our carbon footprint.. She wants us to buy smaller cars and Obama wants us to get a bicycle pump and air up our tires.

These people are nuts.

If you think this is outrageous, forward it to all those on your email list!

Keep in mind the figures above do NOT include cost of plane or crew, just fuel!

One wonders what her total package cost us? And she wants to tax OUR Ira's & 401K's.....
YOU WILL NEVER SEE THIS IN ANY NEWSPAPERS IN THE COUNTRY! THEY HAVE NO GUTS - THEY WOULD RATHER SEE PEOPLE STARVING THAN REPORT ON THE MONSTER THAT IS NANCY PELOSI!

And do you know that this fine lady is only two heartbeats from being President of the US!!!

Government Healthcare?

Let me see if I have this straight: Social Security is going broke. Medicare is going broke. Medicade is going broke. The Post Office is going broke. And Obama says the government can do a better job running the medical business.
Well, sure... and Clinton never lied, the moons made of cheese, and pigs fly.

Hitler/Obama Comparison

I just watched a video on youtube.com called: Hail Hitler-Hail Obama. It was filmed in June 2008, and is a black preacher who doesn't march in goosestep behind Obama. It is refreshing to see someone who can think for himself.
I have noticed similarities between Hitler and Obama too. As have a lot of people these days.
I highly advise my readers to watch this video, and remember that 5% of the black people did not vote for our first illegitimate president (no birth certificate).

Bessie Ackerley of Sheridan, WY

I wish to thank the Sheridan Press for printing an article, in the 8/1/09 edition, about the graduating class of 1909. It includes an ancestor of mine--Bessie Ackerley. She was my great-aunt and sister of my grandfather, Allen Ackerley.
Not many people got a high school diploma in those days-some still don't. So she should be commended for that. I have noticed in reading history, and helping trace my family tree, that women didn't get much recognition-unless they did something really bad. How many people know that Mozart had a sister who was a piano player and songwriter too?
I am proud of the fact that an ancestor, Flora MacDonald, is a hero in Scotland. She saved the life of Bonny Prince Charles in 1745, after the battle of Culloden. The English would have tortured and killed her if she had been caught. I have her picture on my wall. Bessie's too.
Bessie Ackerley and her family, were homesteaders, coming to Sheridan in 1892 or early 1893. They didn't strive to be famous, they just worked hard to turn sage brush and dirt into a productive ranch. Such as the ranches who feed the world today.
I am proud to be their descendant, and to carry on the family tradition.

Obama's Beer Summit

I, for one, am glad Obama's "Beer Summit" is over. I am tired of hearing about it. Of course it was just for show anyway.
Why do you think he had it on the lawn of the White House? That is called a photo-op. His disciples in the Liberal Media were happy to oblige their "Messiah". He can do no wrong according them, and his other worshipers.
According the Obama, he was ignorant of what went on when liberal Democrat professor Gates got taken to police HQ. But, he said the "cops acted stupidly". Now, who was stupid? The cops who answered the burglary in progress call, the hate filled Harvard professor, or Obama who, after attending a racist hate church for 20 years, showed his own racism against white cops.
By the way, unknown to most Americans, one of the cops was a black woman. And, she said she "voted for Obama, but will not vote for him again". The liberal Democrat news shows like ABC (All Barack Channel), according to their bias, will not put that lady cop on TV. So, people are ignorant of that.
The Liberal Democrats attacked the woman who called the cops when she saw someone breaking into a house. She didn't even know what color the two men were, but she is called a racist by the leftists. Do you think she will call about another burglary again? A lot of people don't these days.
And, are the cops supposed to find out what color burglars are before they respond? And not respond if they are not white? Wouldn't that be racism?
If Gates had been civil to the police, and thanked them for seeing who was breaking into his house, like had happened not long before, then everyone would have been happy. Instead he cussed them with words involving "mother". That is a sure ticket to jail. Ask any cop.
I have had cops harass me before, and they also saved my life once when a 3 men tried to kill me. Cops are only human, sometimes they make mistakes too, but, think of the chaos without them? Especially when the Democrats keep trying to disarm law-abiding citizens (that's coming up again).
I wish the public could have seen the picture on the internet, of the white cop holding the arm of the older black professor while going down the White House steps--while Obama was smiling for the cameras.
Of course Joe Biden was at the "Beer Summit". As a good liberal Democrat, he wouldn't miss out on a free beer.
You could say that Obama was stupid for calling the police stupid. However, I don't think anyone gets elected to office by being stupid. I wonder what his motive was. That is what worries me.

Obama's Birthday Present

August 4th was Obama's birthday, and people have been making humorous comments on what to give him for a present:
Wyoming Representative,Cynthia Lummis, said she would like to give him a sheep pelt to sit on, so he could be comfortable, during his many trips on Air Force One.
I thought it would be nice to give him a birth certificate, since that is one of the few things he doesn't have.

Obama's Latest Scandal

I have published this as every American should keep themselves informed of Obama's blunders...


Sgt. Crowley, a Cop in Full
by Patrick J. Buchanan


Sunday, professor Louis Henry Gates retreated from his threat to sue Sgt. James Crowley. Friday, President Obama retreated from his charge that the Cambridge cops "acted stupidly."

As Crowley has not budged an inch -- his arrest of Gates was correct, and there will be no apology -- there is no doubt who won this face-off. Game, set, match, Crowley and the Cambridge cops. It is, indeed, as Obama said Friday, a "teachable moment."

And those most in need of teaching are the professor, the governor of Massachusetts and President Obama. By charging or suggesting Gates was a victim of racial profiling, all three were guilty of having reflexively reverted to racial stereotypes about white cops.

Here is the chronology. Answering a 911 call about a break-in in progress, Crowley encountered the professor inside the house. According to Crowley's report, his request for Gates' I.D. was initially rebuffed, and he was accused of hassling Gates because he was black.

The professor made a slurring reference to Crowley's "mama." The professor then raised such a ruckus Crowley arrested and cuffed him. Once in the street, Gates bellowed, "This is what happens to a black man in America." Gates then called Crowley a "rogue cop." Gov. Deval Patrick declared Gates' arrest "every black man's nightmare."

Obama said the Cambridge cops had "acted stupidly" and went on to elaborate, on nationwide TV, on the sad history of racial profiling of blacks and Hispanics by police. Thus the two most powerful black elected officials in the U.S., with no hard knowledge of what happened, came down on the side of a black professor, their buddy, against a white cop and his department, implying racial motivation in the arrest of Gates.

Yet there is still not a shred of evidence for their rush to judgment. Crowley's partner in the arrest was a black officer who said he stands "100 percent" behind Crowley and that Gates acted "strange." Sixteen years ago, Crowley gave CPR to an unconscious Boston Celtics star, Reggie Lewis, in an attempt to save his life. The memory of his failure caused Crowley to break down in tears and haunts him to this day. Crowley was selected by a black police lieutenant to teach fellow officers about racial profiling. He has been doing this for five years.

And watching TV coverage for a week, this writer has yet to hear one cop anywhere condemn Crowley's handling of the incident. Outside the fevered imagination of Louis Henry Gates, then, where is the evidence Crowley engaged in racial profiling? The victim here is Sgt. Crowley, not professor Gates.

Crowley is the one defamed as a "racist" and "rogue cop." He is the officer whom Gov. Patrick implied perpetrated "every black man's nightmare." He is the cop on the Cambridge force who, Obama told the nation, "acted stupidly." If anyone has grounds for legal action, it is Crowley.

Indeed, upon what grounds would Gates sue? That he was wrongly arrested, when Crowley, his black partner, the Cambridge P.D., the police union and 1,000 cops would gladly come to Cambridge to testify that Crowley went by the book?

Moreover, no one says Crowley abused Gates in any way. And there were witnesses in the street to the arrest. And Crowley apparently had his mike open, and a recording of the incident exists.

But if Obama's racial reflexes served him badly Wednesday night, his political instincts served him well him on Friday. For he must have sensed that this confrontation was shaping up as three powerful black men coming down hard on a white cop with a stellar record who had only done his conscientious duty.

Obama picked up the phone, called Crowley, regretted his choice of words about him and the Cambridge P.D., walked into the press room and told the nation Crowley was a "good guy," he himself had misspoken, that he and the sergeant had talked about getting together for a beer.

It was a goodly slice of humble pie the president ate there, but it was a class act. To ask more would be churlish. As for Patrick and Gates, they, too, should eat a little crow.

The president's decision to go before the White House press corps also suggests Obama is acutely aware of the political peril here. For while his black support is rock solid, his white support is soft.

And Americans will usually side with an Irish cop over a Harvard don, especially when the professor is pulling rank and the cop is right. "This isn't about me," says Gates.

Sorry, professor, it is about you. You have shown the country why William F. Buckley won laughter all over America when he wittily observed that, rather than be governed by the Harvard faculty, he would prefer to be governed by the first 300 names in the Cambridge telephone directory.

Sarah Palin's Cap and Trade tax op-ed

I am a big fan of Sarah Palin, and she wrote an execellent and informative op-ed, so I am publishing it in my blog as the Liberal News Media won't. They don't want the public to see how intelligent she is:
Americans are going to pay, literally, for who they made president...


The 'Cap And Tax' Dead End

By Sarah Palin
Tuesday, July 14, 2009



There is no shortage of threats to our economy. America's unemployment rate recently hit its highest mark in more than 25 years and is expected to continue climbing. Worries are widespread that even when the economy finally rebounds, the recovery won't bring jobs. Our nation's debt is unsustainable, and the federal government's reach into the private sector is unprecedented.

Unfortunately, many in the national media would rather focus on the personality-driven political gossip of the day than on the gravity of these challenges. So, at risk of disappointing the chattering class, let me make clear what is foremost on my mind and where my focus will be:

I am deeply concerned about President Obama's cap-and-trade energy plan, and I believe it is an enormous threat to our economy. It would undermine our recovery over the short term and would inflict permanent damage.

American prosperity has always been driven by the steady supply of abundant, affordable energy. Particularly in Alaska, we understand the inherent link between energy and prosperity, energy and opportunity, and energy and security. Consequently, many of us in this huge, energy-rich state recognize that the president's cap-and-trade energy tax would adversely affect every aspect of the U.S. economy.

There is no denying that as the world becomes more industrialized, we need to reform our energy policy and become less dependent on foreign energy sources. But the answer doesn't lie in making energy scarcer and more expensive! Those who understand the issue know we can meet our energy needs and environmental challenges without destroying America's economy.

Job losses are so certain under this new cap-and-tax plan that it includes a provision accommodating newly unemployed workers from the resulting dried-up energy sector, to the tune of $4.2 billion over eight years. So much for creating jobs.

In addition to immediately increasing unemployment in the energy sector, even more American jobs will be threatened by the rising cost of doing business under the cap-and-tax plan. For example, the cost of farming will certainly increase, driving down farm incomes while driving up grocery prices. The costs of manufacturing, warehousing and transportation will also increase.

The ironic beauty in this plan? Soon, even the most ardent liberal will understand supply-side economics.

The Americans hit hardest will be those already struggling to make ends meet. As the president eloquently puts it, their electricity bills will "necessarily skyrocket." So much for not raising taxes on anyone making less than $250,000 a year.

Even Warren Buffett, an ardent Obama supporter, admitted that under the cap-and-tax scheme, "poor people are going to pay a lot more for electricity."

We must move in a new direction. We are ripe for economic growth and energy independence if we responsibly tap the resources that God created right underfoot on American soil. Just as important, we have more desire and ability to protect the environment than any foreign nation from which we purchase energy today.

In Alaska, we are progressing on the largest private-sector energy project in history. Our 3,000-mile natural gas pipeline will transport hundreds of trillions of cubic feet of our clean natural gas to hungry markets across America. We can safely drill for U.S. oil offshore and in a tiny, 2,000-acre corner of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge if ever given the go-ahead by Washington bureaucrats.

Of course, Alaska is not the sole source of American energy. Many states have abundant coal, whose technology is continuously making it into a cleaner energy source. Westerners literally sit on mountains of oil and gas, and every state can consider the possibility of nuclear energy.

We have an important choice to make. Do we want to control our energy supply and its environmental impact? Or, do we want to outsource it to China, Russia and Saudi Arabia? Make no mistake: President Obama's plan will result in the latter.

For so many reasons, we can't afford to kill responsible domestic energy production or clobber every American consumer with higher prices.

Can America produce more of its own energy through strategic investments that protect the environment, revive our economy and secure our nation?

Yes, we can. Just not with Barack Obama's energy cap-and-tax plan.

The writer, a Republican, is governor of Alaska.

Cap And Trade Bill (Utilities Tax Increase)

People, including my Democrat friends, have been asking me why I haven't been writing articles lately. I have been preparing, the best I can, for the Great Obamacrat Depression. One of the things I have done, is plant a garden. Of course with all the "Global Warming", on June 8th my garden froze.
What worries me now, is the Democrat controlled House of Representatives just passed Obama's so-called "Cap and Trade Bill". Socialism at it's core. Of course our Wyoming's Cynthis Lummis voted against it-that goes without saying. Republicans don't like Socialism.
Now, the Democrat-controlled Senate votes on this another Obama/Pelosi bill. I am sure it will pass, the Republicans can't stop it there either. Just remember this is the Democrats baby when you vote next year.
This "Cap and Trade bill, AKA The Carbon Tax, will cost us all money every time you turn on a light switch, or put gas in your car. Even the people who voted for their Messiah-Obama, because they thought they would get more handouts, will pay more. It will affect us all. Even those in a rest home will pay more (or their family and taxpayers will).
Of course the excuse for this tax on coal, natural gas, gasoline, etc. etc. is the Global Warming Hoax. My utility bill stated last year that every month but two, were colder than the year before. The same is going on now.
We had the coldest winter we have seen in over 10 years. It is around 80 below in Antartica right now (of course now the talk is about thawing at the arctic circle where it is spring and it thaws naturally). The propaganda films of thawing ice are years old.;
As for me, I have been taking care of my investments best I can. The year I expected to retire, is the year Social Security goes broke. And, I am nursing my garden back to life. I like to eat.
This carbon tax is estimated to double everyone's utility bill. Good luck. Got a wood stove and coal oil lamps? I do.

J. C. Ryle Quote

Dear Readers,
Here is an interesting quote from history, that I completely agree with:


Just A Reminder......


J.C. Ryle (1816-1900) wrote the following in Fire, Fire!:




Beware of manufacturing a god of your own: a god who is all mercy but not just, a god who is all love but not holy, a god who has a heaven for everybody but a hell for none, a god who can allow good and bad to be side by side in time, but will make no distinction between good and broad in eternity. Such a god is an idol of your own, as truly an idol as any snake or crocodile in an Egyptian temple. The hands of your own fancy and sentimentality have made him. He is not the God of the Bible, and beside the God of the Bible, there is no God at all.

Beware of making selections from your Bible to suit your taste. Dare not to say, ‘I believe this verse, for I like it. I refuse that, for I cannot reconcile it with my views’. Nay! But O man, who art thou that repliest against God? By what right do you talk in this way? Surely it were better to say over EVERY chapter in the word, “Speak Lord, for thy servant heareth”. Ah! If men would do this, they would never deny the unquenchable fire.

Conservative Black Woman

To my readers:
I haven't had enough time to write new op-eds lately, and I know people are checking for something new to read.
So, I highly reccomend going to: conservativeblkwoman.blogspot.com. That lady uses her head for more than a hat rack. She is not the typical Liberal-Democrat "poor me" black person. It is refreshing to know there is a few like her.
I printed, and saved, one of her newest blogs called: Why I Voted Democrat. It is really a thoughtful article.
Thanks, Conservative Bill

Conservative Bill Sez: TEA Party Mania

I have never been more proud of my country, and of my native state of Wyoming, as I was yesterday (tax day). I attended the TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party in Sheridan, WY. I only expected a few people, but there were so many crowded together they couldn't be counted. They were in the hundreds.
I have been disgusted with our federal government for various reasons, but I have renewed confidence in the people of this greatest nation on earth.
In some cities there were crowds in the thousands. As many as 15,000 people in bigger cities. A possible 7 million nationwide. All this with no support, or airplay from the leftist media. I had to learn about it on the Web. And, even after this historic event, there was hardly any coverage, at all, by the Obama-biased news shows (ABC, CBS, NBC).
There were people of all political parties in attendance. Even Democrats. Many of them are worred about our future too.
These TEA Parties were a protest against all the wild spending of borrowed, or just printed, money by our out of control Obama government. The government doesn't have any money, if fact, it is 11 Trillion dollars in debt. In 5 years it will double that, and triple it in 10 years-with Obama's plans. Can we survive that?
Obama's Secretary of Homeland Security, called us "Right Wing Extremists". I guess being patriotic is "extreme" to Obama's gang, many of whom don't pay their taxes like we Peons do. I am sure these leftists were in the destructive demonstrations in the 60's and 70's, which supported the communists of North Vietnam. They didn't call themselves "extremists" though.
There is going to be another TEA party on Independence Day, and one in December on the date of the original tea party of 1773. Let's make them even bigger.
Here in Sheridan, the day before, the Cut and Run Club "Peacemakers", had 4 people attend their protest. I am glad most people know what to take serious.

Tea Party-April 15th

To my readers:
Please help on April 15th, tax day, and join in one of the many TEA party demonstations. They are protests against the sky high taxes, bailouts, and other schemes that are going to cost future generations. Or, that may cause this country to go bust. Government handouts may be a thing of the past, when the government is bankrupt.
So, find out the location on the Web, in newspapers, or whatever it takes to help the cause. Now is not the time to turn on the TV and forget our nations problems.
The one in Sheridan, Wy is at City Hall at 5 pm. I will be there, so say hi if you get a chance. Thanks....

Is Obama A Citizen?

I am sure a lot of people know by now, that Obama has refused to produce his birth certificate to confirm whether he is an American citizen or not. Why not? Does he have something to hide? Wasn't he properly vetted? And, why was he elected president with no proof of citizenship? According to the laws of our country, a person has to have been born in America to qualify for the presidency. If Obama is proved to be an imposter, then I am sure he will be booted out of the White House. The scary part of that, is so-called "Big Mouth Biden" will be the next president. There might be secrets about Obama's birth that actually may not be good to make public. They may come out someday anyway. All the lawsuits may produce some shocking things (I have heard of one). I would just be happy to know if he is an American, Indonesian, or Kenyan. Why did Obama only visit his (white) grandmother for one hour, as she lay on her death bed? This was reported by the liberal Democrat news shows. All we saw, and heard, on TV was how sexy their "Messiah" was covorting around on the beach. His mother's mother raised him mostly, so I think he owes her. Something is fishy about this whole mess. Maybe someday the Liberal Democrats, and a few others who worship Obama, will find out their "Messiah" is a false prophet. A few have figured it out already. Some of us knew from the start.

E F Hutton-Obama

The Obamaniac's "Messiah" reminds me of the old E F Hutton commercials. Remember: "When E F Hutton speaks-everyone listens"? Now, when Obama speaks, the stock market drops. Which is about every day.
Welcome to Obamanomics. I would like to tell the Dems in Washington what they can do with the "Change".

Obama's Fat Tuesday Speech

US President Barack Obama has outlined his plans for America in an address to both houses of Congress. This is the full text of his speech.


Mr Obama discussed foreign policy and healthcare, as well as the economy

Madame Speaker, Mr Vice President, Members of Congress, and the First Lady of the United States:

I've come here tonight not only to address the distinguished men and women in this great chamber, but to speak frankly and directly to the men and women who sent us here.

I know that for many Americans watching right now, the state of our economy is a concern that rises above all others. And rightly so. If you haven't been personally affected by this recession, you probably know someone who has - a friend; a neighbor; a member of your family. You don't need to hear another list of statistics to know that our economy is in crisis, because you live it every day. It's the worry you wake up with and the source of sleepless nights. It's the job you thought you'd retire from but now have lost; the business you built your dreams upon that's now hanging by a thread; the college acceptance letter your child had to put back in the envelope. The impact of this recession is real, and it is everywhere.

But while our economy may be weakened and our confidence shaken; though we are living through difficult and uncertain times, tonight I want every American to know this:

We will rebuild, we will recover, and the United States of America will emerge stronger than before.

Progress and prosperity

The weight of this crisis will not determine the destiny of this nation. The answers to our problems don't lie beyond our reach. They exist in our laboratories and universities; in our fields and our factories; in the imaginations of our entrepreneurs and the pride of the hardest-working people on Earth. Those qualities that have made America the greatest force of progress and prosperity in human history we still possess in ample measure. What is required now is for this country to pull together, confront boldly the challenges we face, and take responsibility for our future once more.

Now, if we're honest with ourselves, we'll admit that for too long, we have not always met these responsibilities - as a government or as a people. I say this not to lay blame or look backwards, but because it is only by understanding how we arrived at this moment that we'll be able to lift ourselves out of this predicament.

The fact is, our economy did not fall into decline overnight. Nor did all of our problems begin when the housing market collapsed or the stock market sank. We have known for decades that our survival depends on finding new sources of energy. Yet we import more oil today than ever before. The cost of health care eats up more and more of our savings each year, yet we keep delaying reform. Our children will compete for jobs in a global economy that too many of our schools do not prepare them for. And though all these challenges went unsolved, we still managed to spend more money and pile up more debt, both as individuals and through our government, than ever before.

In other words, we have lived through an era where too often, short-term gains were prized over long-term prosperity; where we failed to look beyond the next payment, the next quarter, or the next election. A surplus became an excuse to transfer wealth to the wealthy instead of an opportunity to invest in our future. Regulations were gutted for the sake of a quick profit at the expense of a healthy market. People bought homes they knew they couldn't afford from banks and lenders who pushed those bad loans anyway. And all the while, critical debates and difficult decisions were put off for some other time on some other day.

Well that day of reckoning has arrived, and the time to take charge of our future is here.

Now is the time to act boldly and wisely - to not only revive this economy, but to build a new foundation for lasting prosperity. Now is the time to jumpstart job creation, re-start lending, and invest in areas like energy, health care, and education that will grow our economy, even as we make hard choices to bring our deficit down. That is what my economic agenda is designed to do, and that's what I'd like to talk to you about tonight.

Recovery plan

It's an agenda that begins with jobs.

As soon as I took office, I asked this Congress to send me a recovery plan by President's Day that would put people back to work and put money in their pockets. Not because I believe in bigger government - I don't. Not because I'm not mindful of the massive debt we've inherited - I am. I called for action because the failure to do so would have cost more jobs and caused more hardships. In fact, a failure to act would have worsened our long-term deficit by assuring weak economic growth for years. That's why I pushed for quick action. And tonight, I am grateful that this Congress delivered, and pleased to say that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is now law.

Over the next two years, this plan will save or create 3.5 million jobs. More than 90% of these jobs will be in the private sector - jobs rebuilding our roads and bridges; constructing wind turbines and solar panels; laying broadband and expanding mass transit.

Because of this plan, there are teachers who can now keep their jobs and educate our kids. Health care professionals can continue caring for our sick. There are 57 police officers who are still on the streets of Minneapolis tonight because this plan prevented the layoffs their department was about to make.

Because of this plan, 95% of the working households in America will receive a tax cut - a tax cut that you will see in your paychecks beginning on April 1st.

Because of this plan, families who are struggling to pay tuition costs will receive a $2,500 tax credit for all four years of college. And Americans who have lost their jobs in this recession will be able to receive extended unemployment benefits and continued health care coverage to help them weather this storm.

I know there are some in this chamber and watching at home who are skeptical of whether this plan will work. I understand that skepticism. Here in Washington, we've all seen how quickly good intentions can turn into broken promises and wasteful spending. And with a plan of this scale comes enormous responsibility to get it right.

That is why I have asked Vice President Biden to lead a tough, unprecedented oversight effort - because nobody messes with Joe. I have told each member of my Cabinet as well as mayors and governors across the country that they will be held accountable by me and the American people for every dollar they spend. I have appointed a proven and aggressive Inspector General to ferret out any and all cases of waste and fraud. And we have created a new website called recovery.gov so that every American can find out how and where their money is being spent.

Choked off

So the recovery plan we passed is the first step in getting our economy back on track. But it is just the first step. Because even if we manage this plan flawlessly, there will be no real recovery unless we clean up the credit crisis that has severely weakened our financial system.

I want to speak plainly and candidly about this issue tonight, because every American should know that it directly affects you and your family's well-being. You should also know that the money you've deposited in banks across the country is safe; your insurance is secure; and you can rely on the continued operation of our financial system. That is not the source of concern.

The concern is that if we do not re-start lending in this country, our recovery will be choked off before it even begins.

You see, the flow of credit is the lifeblood of our economy. The ability to get a loan is how you finance the purchase of everything from a home to a car to a college education; how stores stock their shelves, farms buy equipment, and businesses make payroll.

But credit has stopped flowing the way it should. Too many bad loans from the housing crisis have made their way onto the books of too many banks. With so much debt and so little confidence, these banks are now fearful of lending out any more money to households, to businesses, or to each other. When there is no lending, families can't afford to buy homes or cars. So businesses are forced to make layoffs. Our economy suffers even more, and credit dries up even further.

That is why this administration is moving swiftly and aggressively to break this destructive cycle, restore confidence, and re-start lending.

We will do so in several ways. First, we are creating a new lending fund that represents the largest effort ever to help provide auto loans, college loans, and small business loans to the consumers and entrepreneurs who keep this economy running.

Second, we have launched a housing plan that will help responsible families facing the threat of foreclosure lower their monthly payments and re-finance their mortgages. It's a plan that won't help speculators or that neighbor down the street who bought a house he could never hope to afford, but it will help millions of Americans who are struggling with declining home values - Americans who will now be able to take advantage of the lower interest rates that this plan has already helped bring about. In fact, the average family who re-finances today can save nearly $2000 per year on their mortgage.

Third, we will act with the full force of the federal government to ensure that the major banks that Americans depend on have enough confidence and enough money to lend even in more difficult times. And when we learn that a major bank has serious problems, we will hold accountable those responsible, force the necessary adjustments, provide the support to clean up their balance sheets, and assure the continuity of a strong, viable institution that can serve our people and our economy.

Accountable

I understand that on any given day, Wall Street may be more comforted by an approach that gives banks bailouts with no strings attached, and that holds nobody accountable for their reckless decisions. But such an approach won't solve the problem. And our goal is to quicken the day when we re-start lending to the American people and American business and end this crisis once and for all.

I intend to hold these banks fully accountable for the assistance they receive, and this time, they will have to clearly demonstrate how taxpayer dollars result in more lending for the American taxpayer. This time, CEOs won't be able to use taxpayer money to pad their paychecks or buy fancy drapes or disappear on a private jet. Those days are over.

Still, this plan will require significant resources from the federal government - and yes, probably more than we've already set aside. But while the cost of action will be great, I can assure you that the cost of inaction will be far greater, for it could result in an economy that sputters along for not months or years, but perhaps a decade. That would be worse for our deficit, worse for business, worse for you, and worse for the next generation. And I refuse to let that happen.

I understand that when the last administration asked this Congress to provide assistance for struggling banks, Democrats and Republicans alike were infuriated by the mismanagement and results that followed. So were the American taxpayers. So was I.

So I know how unpopular it is to be seen as helping banks right now, especially when everyone is suffering in part from their bad decisions. I promise you - I get it.

But I also know that in a time of crisis, we cannot afford to govern out of anger, or yield to the politics of the moment. My job - our job - is to solve the problem. Our job is to govern with a sense of responsibility. I will not spend a single penny for the purpose of rewarding a single Wall Street executive, but I will do whatever it takes to help the small business that can't pay its workers or the family that has saved and still can't get a mortgage.

That's what this is about. It's not about helping banks - it's about helping people. Because when credit is available again, that young family can finally buy a new home. And then some company will hire workers to build it. And then those workers will have money to spend, and if they can get a loan too, maybe they'll finally buy that car, or open their own business. Investors will return to the market, and American families will see their retirement secured once more. Slowly, but surely, confidence will return, and our economy will recover.

Crisis

So I ask this Congress to join me in doing whatever proves necessary. Because we cannot consign our nation to an open-ended recession. And to ensure that a crisis of this magnitude never happens again, I ask Congress to move quickly on legislation that will finally reform our outdated regulatory system. It is time to put in place tough, new common-sense rules of the road so that our financial market rewards drive and innovation, and punishes short-cuts and abuse.

The recovery plan and the financial stability plan are the immediate steps we're taking to revive our economy in the short-term. But the only way to fully restore America's economic strength is to make the long-term investments that will lead to new jobs, new industries, and a renewed ability to compete with the rest of the world. The only way this century will be another American century is if we confront at last the price of our dependence on oil and the high cost of health care; the schools that aren't preparing our children and the mountain of debt they stand to inherit. That is our responsibility.

In the next few days, I will submit a budget to Congress. So often, we have come to view these documents as simply numbers on a page or laundry lists of programs. I see this document differently. I see it as a vision for America - as a blueprint for our future.

My budget does not attempt to solve every problem or address every issue. It reflects the stark reality of what we've inherited - a trillion dollar deficit, a financial crisis, and a costly recession.

Given these realities, everyone in this chamber - Democrats and Republicans - will have to sacrifice some worthy priorities for which there are no dollars. And that includes me.

But that does not mean we can afford to ignore our long-term challenges. I reject the view that says our problems will simply take care of themselves; that says government has no role in laying the foundation for our common prosperity.

Big ideas

For history tells a different story. History reminds us that at every moment of economic upheaval and transformation, this nation has responded with bold action and big ideas. In the midst of civil war, we laid railroad tracks from one coast to another that spurred commerce and industry. From the turmoil of the Industrial Revolution came a system of public high schools that prepared our citizens for a new age. In the wake of war and depression, the GI Bill sent a generation to college and created the largest middle-class in history. And a twilight struggle for freedom led to a nation of highways, an American on the moon, and an explosion of technology that still shapes our world.

In each case, government didn't supplant private enterprise; it catalyzed private enterprise. It created the conditions for thousands of entrepreneurs and new businesses to adapt and to thrive.

We are a nation that has seen promise amid peril, and claimed opportunity from ordeal. Now we must be that nation again. That is why, even as it cuts back on the programs we don't need, the budget I submit will invest in the three areas that are absolutely critical to our economic future: energy, health care, and education.

It begins with energy.

We know the country that harnesses the power of clean, renewable energy will lead the 21st century. And yet, it is China that has launched the largest effort in history to make their economy energy efficient. We invented solar technology, but we've fallen behind countries like Germany and Japan in producing it. New plug-in hybrids roll off our assembly lines, but they will run on batteries made in Korea.

Well I do not accept a future where the jobs and industries of tomorrow take root beyond our borders - and I know you don't either. It is time for America to lead again.

Thanks to our recovery plan, we will double this nation's supply of renewable energy in the next three years. We have also made the largest investment in basic research funding in American history - an investment that will spur not only new discoveries in energy, but breakthroughs in medicine, science, and technology.

We will soon lay down thousands of miles of power lines that can carry new energy to cities and towns across this country. And we will put Americans to work making our homes and buildings more efficient so that we can save billions of dollars on our energy bills.

Innovation

But to truly transform our economy, protect our security, and save our planet from the ravages of climate change, we need to ultimately make clean, renewable energy the profitable kind of energy. So I ask this Congress to send me legislation that places a market-based cap on carbon pollution and drives the production of more renewable energy in America. And to support that innovation, we will invest fifteen billion dollars a year to develop technologies like wind power and solar power; advanced biofuels, clean coal, and more fuel-efficient cars and trucks built right here in America.

As for our auto industry, everyone recognizes that years of bad decision-making and a global recession have pushed our automakers to the brink. We should not, and will not, protect them from their own bad practices. But we are committed to the goal of a re-tooled, re-imagined auto industry that can compete and win. Millions of jobs depend on it. Scores of communities depend on it. And I believe the nation that invented the automobile cannot walk away from it.

None of this will come without cost, nor will it be easy. But this is America. We don't do what's easy. We do what is necessary to move this country forward.

For that same reason, we must also address the crushing cost of health care.

This is a cost that now causes a bankruptcy in America every thirty seconds. By the end of the year, it could cause 1.5 million Americans to lose their homes. In the last eight years, premiums have grown four times faster than wages. And in each of these years, one million more Americans have lost their health insurance. It is one of the major reasons why small businesses close their doors and corporations ship jobs overseas. And it's one of the largest and fastest-growing parts of our budget.

Given these facts, we can no longer afford to put health care reform on hold.

Already, we have done more to advance the cause of health care reform in the last thirty days than we have in the last decade. When it was days old, this Congress passed a law to provide and protect health insurance for eleven million American children whose parents work full-time. Our recovery plan will invest in electronic health records and new technology that will reduce errors, bring down costs, ensure privacy, and save lives. It will launch a new effort to conquer a disease that has touched the life of nearly every American by seeking a cure for cancer in our time. And it makes the largest investment ever in preventive care, because that is one of the best ways to keep our people healthy and our costs under control.

Not easy

This budget builds on these reforms. It includes an historic commitment to comprehensive health care reform - a down-payment on the principle that we must have quality, affordable health care for every American. It's a commitment that's paid for in part by efficiencies in our system that are long overdue. And it's a step we must take if we hope to bring down our deficit in the years to come.

Now, there will be many different opinions and ideas about how to achieve reform, and that is why I'm bringing together businesses and workers, doctors and health care providers, Democrats and Republicans to begin work on this issue next week.

I suffer no illusions that this will be an easy process. It will be hard. But I also know that nearly a century after Teddy Roosevelt first called for reform, the cost of our health care has weighed down our economy and the conscience of our nation long enough. So let there be no doubt: health care reform cannot wait, it must not wait, and it will not wait another year.

The third challenge we must address is the urgent need to expand the promise of education in America.

In a global economy where the most valuable skill you can sell is your knowledge, a good education is no longer just a pathway to opportunity - it is a pre-requisite.

Right now, three-quarters of the fastest-growing occupations require more than a high school diploma. And yet, just over half of our citizens have that level of education. We have one of the highest high school dropout rates of any industrialized nation. And half of the students who begin college never finish.

This is a prescription for economic decline, because we know the countries that out-teach us today will out-compete us tomorrow. That is why it will be the goal of this administration to ensure that every child has access to a complete and competitive education - from the day they are born to the day they begin a career.

Already, we have made an historic investment in education through the economic recovery plan. We have dramatically expanded early childhood education and will continue to improve its quality, because we know that the most formative learning comes in those first years of life. We have made college affordable for nearly seven million more students. And we have provided the resources necessary to prevent painful cuts and teacher layoffs that would set back our children's progress.

But we know that our schools don't just need more resources. They need more reform. That is why this budget creates new incentives for teacher performance; pathways for advancement, and rewards for success. We'll invest in innovative programs that are already helping schools meet high standards and close achievement gaps. And we will expand our commitment to charter schools.

Doors of opportunity

It is our responsibility as lawmakers and educators to make this system work. But it is the responsibility of every citizen to participate in it. And so tonight, I ask every American to commit to at least one year or more of higher education or career training. This can be community college or a four-year school; vocational training or an apprenticeship. But whatever the training may be, every American will need to get more than a high school diploma. And dropping out of high school is no longer an option. It's not just quitting on yourself, it's quitting on your country - and this country needs and values the talents of every American. That is why we will provide the support necessary for you to complete college and meet a new goal: by 2020, America will once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world.

I know that the price of tuition is higher than ever, which is why if you are willing to volunteer in your neighborhood or give back to your community or serve your country, we will make sure that you can afford a higher education. And to encourage a renewed spirit of national service for this and future generations, I ask this Congress to send me the bipartisan legislation that bears the name of Senator Orrin Hatch as well as an American who has never stopped asking what he can do for his country - Senator Edward Kennedy.

These education policies will open the doors of opportunity for our children. But it is up to us to ensure they walk through them. In the end, there is no program or policy that can substitute for a mother or father who will attend those parent/teacher conferences, or help with homework after dinner, or turn off the TV, put away the video games, and read to their child. I speak to you not just as a President, but as a father when I say that responsibility for our children's education must begin at home.

There is, of course, another responsibility we have to our children. And that is the responsibility to ensure that we do not pass on to them a debt they cannot pay. With the deficit we inherited, the cost of the crisis we face, and the long-term challenges we must meet, it has never been more important to ensure that as our economy recovers, we do what it takes to bring this deficit down.

I'm proud that we passed the recovery plan free of earmarks, and I want to pass a budget next year that ensures that each dollar we spend reflects only our most important national priorities.

Yesterday, I held a fiscal summit where I pledged to cut the deficit in half by the end of my first term in office. My administration has also begun to go line by line through the federal budget in order to eliminate wasteful and ineffective programs. As you can imagine, this is a process that will take some time. But we're starting with the biggest lines. We have already identified two trillion dollars in savings over the next decade.

Health reform

In this budget, we will end education programs that don't work and end direct payments to large agribusinesses that don't need them. We'll eliminate the no-bid contracts that have wasted billions in Iraq, and reform our defense budget so that we're not paying for Cold War-era weapons systems we don't use. We will root out the waste, fraud, and abuse in our Medicare program that doesn't make our seniors any healthier, and we will restore a sense of fairness and balance to our tax code by finally ending the tax breaks for corporations that ship our jobs overseas.

In order to save our children from a future of debt, we will also end the tax breaks for the wealthiest 2% of Americans. But let me perfectly clear, because I know you'll hear the same old claims that rolling back these tax breaks means a massive tax increase on the American people: if your family earns less than $250,000 a year, you will not see your taxes increased a single dime. I repeat: not one single dime. In fact, the recovery plan provides a tax cut - that's right, a tax cut - for 95% of working families. And these checks are on the way.

To preserve our long-term fiscal health, we must also address the growing costs in Medicare and Social Security. Comprehensive health care reform is the best way to strengthen Medicare for years to come. And we must also begin a conversation on how to do the same for Social Security, while creating tax-free universal savings accounts for all Americans.

Finally, because we're also suffering from a deficit of trust, I am committed to restoring a sense of honesty and accountability to our budget. That is why this budget looks ahead ten years and accounts for spending that was left out under the old rules - and for the first time, that includes the full cost of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. For seven years, we have been a nation at war. No longer will we hide its price.

We are now carefully reviewing our policies in both wars, and I will soon announce a way forward in Iraq that leaves Iraq to its people and responsibly ends this war.

And with our friends and allies, we will forge a new and comprehensive strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan to defeat al Qaeda and combat extremism. Because I will not allow terrorists to plot against the American people from safe havens half a world away.

Sacred trust

As we meet here tonight, our men and women in uniform stand watch abroad and more are readying to deploy. To each and every one of them, and to the families who bear the quiet burden of their absence, Americans are united in sending one message: we honor your service, we are inspired by your sacrifice, and you have our unyielding support. To relieve the strain on our forces, my budget increases the number of our soldiers and Marines. And to keep our sacred trust with those who serve, we will raise their pay, and give our veterans the expanded health care and benefits that they have earned.

To overcome extremism, we must also be vigilant in upholding the values our troops defend - because there is no force in the world more powerful than the example of America. That is why I have ordered the closing of the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, and will seek swift and certain justice for captured terrorists - because living our values doesn't make us weaker, it makes us safer and it makes us stronger. And that is why I can stand here tonight and say without exception or equivocation that the United States of America does not torture.

In words and deeds, we are showing the world that a new era of engagement has begun. For we know that America cannot meet the threats of this century alone, but the world cannot meet them without America. We cannot shun the negotiating table, nor ignore the foes or forces that could do us harm. We are instead called to move forward with the sense of confidence and candor that serious times demand.

To seek progress toward a secure and lasting peace between Israel and her neighbors, we have appointed an envoy to sustain our effort. To meet the challenges of the 21st century - from terrorism to nuclear proliferation; from pandemic disease to cyber threats to crushing poverty - we will strengthen old alliances, forge new ones, and use all elements of our national power.

And to respond to an economic crisis that is global in scope, we are working with the nations of the G-20 to restore confidence in our financial system, avoid the possibility of escalating protectionism, and spur demand for American goods in markets across the globe. For the world depends on us to have a strong economy, just as our economy depends on the strength of the world's.

As we stand at this crossroads of history, the eyes of all people in all nations are once again upon us - watching to see what we do with this moment; waiting for us to lead.

Great privilege

Those of us gathered here tonight have been called to govern in extraordinary times. It is a tremendous burden, but also a great privilege - one that has been entrusted to few generations of Americans. For in our hands lies the ability to shape our world for good or for ill.

I know that it is easy to lose sight of this truth - to become cynical and doubtful; consumed with the petty and the trivial.

But in my life, I have also learned that hope is found in unlikely places; that inspiration often comes not from those with the most power or celebrity, but from the dreams and aspirations of Americans who are anything but ordinary.

I think about Leonard Abess, the bank president from Miami who reportedly cashed out of his company, took a $60 million bonus, and gave it out to all 399 people who worked for him, plus another 72 who used to work for him. He didn't tell anyone, but when the local newspaper found out, he simply said, ''I knew some of these people since I was 7 years old. I didn't feel right getting the money myself."

I think about Greensburg, Kansas, a town that was completely destroyed by a tornado, but is being rebuilt by its residents as a global example of how clean energy can power an entire community - how it can bring jobs and businesses to a place where piles of bricks and rubble once lay. "The tragedy was terrible," said one of the men who helped them rebuild. "But the folks here know that it also provided an incredible opportunity."

And I think about Ty'Sheoma Bethea, the young girl from that school I visited in Dillon, South Carolina - a place where the ceilings leak, the paint peels off the walls, and they have to stop teaching six times a day because the train barrels by their classroom. She has been told that her school is hopeless, but the other day after class she went to the public library and typed up a letter to the people sitting in this room. She even asked her principal for the money to buy a stamp. The letter asks us for help, and says, "We are just students trying to become lawyers, doctors, congressmen like yourself and one day president, so we can make a change to not just the state of South Carolina but also the world. We are not quitters."

We are not quitters.

These words and these stories tell us something about the spirit of the people who sent us here. They tell us that even in the most trying times, amid the most difficult circumstances, there is a generosity, a resilience, a decency, and a determination that perseveres; a willingness to take responsibility for our future and for posterity.

Their resolve must be our inspiration. Their concerns must be our cause. And we must show them and all our people that we are equal to the task before us.

I know that we haven't agreed on every issue thus far, and there are surely times in the future when we will part ways. But I also know that every American who is sitting here tonight loves this country and wants it to succeed. That must be the starting point for every debate we have in the coming months, and where we return after those debates are done. That is the foundation on which the American people expect us to build common ground.

And if we do - if we come together and lift this nation from the depths of this crisis; if we put our people back to work and restart the engine of our prosperity; if we confront without fear the challenges of our time and summon that enduring spirit of an America that does not quit, then someday years from now our children can tell their children that this was the time when we performed, in the words that are carved into this very chamber, "something worthy to be remembered." Thank you, God Bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America.

Obama Beans Recipe

Here is Obama's recipe for beans-which has been approved by every Democrat in Congress: Start with a few beans-about 5%, which everybody thinks is good for us. Then, add a whole bunch of pork. In fact include so much pork that no-one can find the beans. They won't even be tasted. Sugar coat the pork, so that it will go down easier. In fact the sweeter the better. The people getting the pork, will love it. Keep cooking this concoction, and the books, until you sell this to the gullible public. Put it on TV, they believe anything they see there. And, the Democrats will help you sell it. For a little extra flavor, you could have added the backbones from Republican senators: Snowe, Spector, and Collins. But, I think they have already been added to Obama's beans, as they don't have backbones now. Every American will pay for this concoction, as the devalued money in their pocket will finance all this. And, when they all get sick of it-except the rich Democrat elitists who are already bloated from not paying their taxes, Bush will get the blame-as usual. Enjoy your beans.

Obamalism

Does anyone reading this realize how close we came to having a completely socialistic government? If the Dems had managed to get 6o seats in the Senate, they would have had unbridled control of this country.
With their Messiah in the White House, it would have been goodbye gun rights, goodbye Bush tax cuts--which people living on the backs of working taxpayers hate, and goodbye freedom.
Georgia had a re-vote in December. Chambliss, the Republican incumbent Senator, was Challenged by a Democrat. The Democrat had two Dems from the socialist state of Massachusetts stumping for him. Old drunken, skirt-chasing, Ted Kennedy, and self-confessed war criminal John Kerry (his picture still hangs in the "War Crimes Museum" in Saigon).
Chambliss had some good decent people rallying for him. One was "Wonder Woman" Sara Palin. She drew crowds in the thousands, to her speeches. One crowd numbered, according to a conservative news show, 60,000 people. Did you hear about this on your Democrat-controlled news shows? The Liberal Dems are scared of her. The only way they think they can keep her under their "glass ceiling", is to keep quiet about her popularity and accomplishments.
They said she couldn't be vice-president because 20 years ago her husband got a DUI. About the time Obama was smoking pot and snorting coke (I am sure he didn't inhale). Before the Bloggers call me a liar, read his book.
Now, we have learned that Obama's buddies, he gave White House jobs to, have been accused of tax cheating, trying to sell his Senate seat, voter fraud, etc. etc. Weren't these people properly "Vetted"?
Sara Palin was.

Obamaniac's Lovefest

I watched the 170 Million dollar, taxpayer paid, Obama Lovefest. What a show the liberal Democrats put on, at our expense, for their Socialism Messiah! Remember when the Dems screamed about the Bush innaugeration costing 40 million? It all depends on who you are. Barack Hussein Obama Jr. stated that we are starting a "New Era". That is right--the era of the Socialist States of America. And it will last 8 years (with constant propaganda by the Liberal Democrat controlled tv media). Maybe longer, if the Republicans don't get a backbone, and, get back to their Conservative principles. It has not been 24 hours and Barack (Muhommed's cousin's name), has already started signing bills the Democrat controlled Congress has slapped together for him. Get ready for the great Democrat Depression. Got Beans? I will give Obama credit for one thing: He has proven that a black person can get off the couch, go to work, and be somebody. There are no excuses now. Of course if you want to be something like a black president, you have to be a leftist Democrat--or you are called an "Uncle Tom". How did I celebrate the Obama takeover? I got my Republican membership card the day before, and I sent a donation to the RNC the day after. Obama did one good thing, he made me an official card-carrying Republican. Now let's go to work! We need to start now.
