Obama Excesses II

If you're not sure what "big government" implies, take a look at this . ...




But you have already read about this in your local newspaper ...
Oh no, you didn't? OK then, you saw it on CNN... No?... INTERESTING!!!
You and I may never see health care again the way it used to be, but "Emperor Obama"
took six (6) doctors with him for a 3 day visit to London - along with 494 other essential staff.

You just gotta love this spread-the-wealth, hopey-changey thing ....

Pres' Dog Gets Private Jet Ride

It's bad enough (and it's pretty darned bad!) that Pres. Obama is on a THIRD vacation since the Gulf oil spill disaster, but it gets even worse. (At least I think it's worse; Obama's fans probably think it's cool and fun!)

Just read this clip from The Morning Sentinel in Waterville, ME:

Arriving in a small jet before the Obamas was the first dog, Bo, a Portuguese water dog given as a present by the late U.S. Sen Ted Kennedy, D-Mass.; and the president's personal aide Reggie Love, who chatted with [Maine governor, John] Baldacci.

Yes, the president took his dog. And. The dog got its own private jet. Yep. And guess who paid for it? The same folks he was referring to when he told George Stephanopoulos that, "everybody in the country is going to have to sacrifice something, accept change for the greater good."

Does he honestly have no clue? Could anyone be that patently blind to the effect of their actions? Is he blind or does he just not give a bloody dam? At some point he must have either said, "Well, just put the dog in another plane," or "Hey, where's Bo?" Wouldn't he have either directed or OK'd the added taxpayer expense of an extra plane for the DOG???

Here is a man who is either so dumb he can't keep track of his own family, or a man who thinks his family, his dog, is deserving of outlandishly more privileges than the American public he swore to serve. Again, I'm sure his fans think there's absolutely nothing wrong with so many vacations at our expense. And those same dupes think it's just adorable that he flies his doggy in its own private jet.

But, then there are the rest of us. You know, us "ignorant,angry, deluded, racist, bigots" as a LibDem space-minded friend recently labeled us. Well, I got news for you pard, If this was any other politician who had just called for belt tightening and then pulled a stunt like this bozo (a WHITE clown reference, BTW), us "ignorant bigots" would be just as pissed off!

Obama is so far out of touch with the American citizens it's beginning to be obvious even to the "intellectuals" who elected him. But then, why shouldn't he be out of touch with us. He has no background to draw from. He was not raised as a typical African-American. He was not raised in the states, like a typical Euro-American. (Remember, he's half of both, which SHOULD give him even more insight to our culture.) He has no clue what Americans think, want, prefer, or value.

CA to AZ ... Pot Calling Kettle Racist?

Sometimes research is just too much fun. Like when you find out that the biggest blowhard on the playground is really just a loud mouthed hypocrite!

Following up on a tip that sounded just too good to be true, I just did a search for a particular California law (included below) which paints their boycott of Arizona's law to cut down on illegal immigrants within their borders. And, boy, did I hit pay dirt!

Just to refresh your memory, The Arizona law, set to take effect July 29, directs officers to question people about their immigration status during the enforcement of other laws such as traffic stops if there is a reasonable suspicion they're in the U.S. illegally. Nothing wrong with that, until "some people" get their backs up about hurting someone's feelings by asking about their residency. The "some people" I refer to includes, among many others, the City of Los Angeles an the State of California.

Now, here's the fun part: That same California, it turns out, has on their own law books a law that directs their law enforcement officers to DO THE EXACT SAME THING! That's right, the idiots who have been shouting the loudest that Arizona's law equals racial profiling already have the same law in place for themselves!

You can't make this stuff up, friends. As proof, let me present exhibit one, California's own law: (found at http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/cacode/PEN/3/2/3/5/s834b)

CAL. PEN. CODE § 834b : California Code - Section 834b

(a)Every law enforcement agency in California shall fully cooperate with the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service regarding any person who is arrested if he or she is suspected of being present in the United States in violation of federal immigration laws.

(b)With respect to any such person who is arrested, and suspected of being present in the United States in violation of federal immigration laws, every law enforcement agency shall do the following:

(1)Attempt to verify the legal status of such person as a citizen of the United States, an alien lawfully admitted as a permanent resident, an alien lawfully admitted for a temporary period of time or as an alien who is present in the United States in violation of immigration laws. The verification process may include, but shall not be limited to, questioning the person regarding his or her date and place of birth, and entry into the United States, and demanding documentation to indicate his or her legal status.

(2)Notify the person of his or her apparent status as an alien who is present in the United States in violation of federal immigration laws and inform him or her that, apart from any criminal justice proceedings, he or she must either obtain legal status or leave the United States.

(3)Notify the Attorney General of California and the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service of the apparent illegal status and provide any additional information that may be requested by any other public entity.

(c)Any legislative, administrative, or other action by a city, county, or other legally authorized local governmental entity with jurisdictional boundaries, or by a law enforcement agency, to prevent or limit the cooperation required by subdivision (a) is expressly prohibited.

Oh, please, stop me from laughing! I can't breathe! It's just TOO good!

So, shall we expect a federal lawsuit against California's profiling law any time soon?

What If George W. Had ...

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a TelePrompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had stated that there were 57 states in the United States, would you have said that he is clueless.

If George W. Bush would have flown all the way to Denmark to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him walking out his front door in Texas, would you have thought he was a self important, conceited, egotistical jerk.

If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?

If George W. Bush had misspelled the word "advice" would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoes as proof of what a dunce he is?

If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?

If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?

If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If George W. Bush had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had not provided a birth certificate before he was elected, what would you have said? Would you have voted for him?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in the first 15 months of office – just think what the next year and a half will bring.
