This has been a busy month, personally, professionally, and hobby wise as well.  I have not had much time for my favorite activities but have been observing what is going on and unfortunately I can say I don’t like what I am seeing one bit.  It would be nice to get a rant off that was positive or that was praising this or that, I will have to work on that one later.

Domestic Policy – It seems the honeymoon is beginning to lose its shine.  8,000 ear marks and tripling the US deficit spending and our GDP to budget ratio was not enough for the Democrat party.  Reneging on campaign pledges, promises, and hype was not enough either.  Nor was nationalizing the banking sector or using the crisis to subvert debate in passing the largest spending program in US history and his party stating it was not enough and they would need more.  Monday President Obama marked the beginning of US socialism.  The US government has effectively overtaken the US auto manufacturing industry by taking over 2/3 of the companies, only Ford is still run by the private sector but it seems their days are numbered too.  The Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado were the best selling vehicles in 2007 and this irritates the Democrats.  The stimulus money Detroit received, hat in hand, had hooks the auto industry could not imagine.  This goes beyond the firing of GM’s CEO and Board Director, they needed to go anyway and long ago, no it goes to the fact that Obama laid out his socializing of the companies after saying he was not doing so, the markets reacted with a huge plunge.  Chrysler will now HAVE to merge with a foreign auto company or go under, what was it about keeping companies in American?  GM will have to stop selling its most popular vehicle and instead start selling unpopular high fuel efficiency vehicles, the government is telling GM what to sell, how to make it, and how to restructure, not a bankruptcy court who is better able to deal with this, remember this, our government is one of the most wasteful and inefficient in the world when it comes to managing public funds and we are now trusting them to run GM, the worlds largest company?  Buick is THE most popular car line here in China, that’s right, get rid of the one profitable division that was keeping the entire company afloat in the largest growing auto market in the world, way to go!  You can expect higher taxes on gas now, and those incentives to buy the new cars GM is going to produce, government bribes to force people to buy what they say you should buy, the free market is dead.  This is not the first time.  Remember the naming of the new New York Stadium a certain bank funded and bought the naming rights to, well again the government steped in and said, you took bail out money, therefore we have the right to tell you what to do with ALL your money and ALL your business decissions.

Science – The space shuttle just returned from a successful mission with the ISS.  Unfortunately the ISS had 2 near misses with space debris, thanks to China for blowing up one of their satellites and to us and the Russians for colliding two into each other.  Now that we almost have the ISS completed guess what, it is almost at its projected end of life!  Nasa wants to replace the shuttle with an Apollo looking capsule, no more Hubble or large payload articles, but with Obama and the Socialists Republic of America in charge I doubt that any real science is on the agenda, just what we can get form embryonic steam cells.  With all the mess we have here we really need to have real hope in our ability to rise up above Earth bound strife, like the first lunar missions.  Space will hold the key to getting more resources, understanding, and put us on the course of being a species able to expand beyond our home planet when the day comes that it is no longer able to support life. 

On a second science related topic, Earth Hour.  It seems I am better then a Noble Prize winner!  That is right, for 1 hour I had all lights off and observed many Shanghai high rises do the same.  I ran things on battery power, candles emit CO2 you know, and today I found out Al Gore had his home lit up like a Christmas tree the whole weekend.  Even his CO2 absorbing trees in his front yard were alight to show their majesty when so many home across the planet went dark.  Now unless the power plants cut production then Earth hour did not do much good.  Those coal power plants were still burning coal.  The only difference was that the grids across the world had a slightly less load then normal for a Saturday night, not a significant drop either.  It is a good concept, but to make a real impact the power plants would all need to cut production for that 1 hour and have rolling brown outs, then we would have something to cheer about.

Sports – March madness is fully underway and I could care less.  Baseball continues to get a black eye, Soccer is proving to be a deadly sport as in any sport held in Pakistan.  The NFL wants to extend the season by 2 games.  Congress is too busy turning the dial from free market capitalism to quasi communistic socialism to investigate the BCS, maybe we should be thankful.  In this time of economic hardship we need a good diversion that people of all philosophies can enjoy.  Sports allows us to passively project our aggressions on to those on the field.  It demonstrates that team work and hard work can make the impossible possible.  It gives us hope we can overcome impossible odds and succeed.  Too bad we are in a sports funk.  The NBA is losing its luster, baseball is tarnished, hockey is a Canadian sport, and only hicks and inbreeds watch NASCAR.  At least we have bowling.

Social issues – Norte Dame got itself into hot water with the Church for extending an invite to Obama for a commencement speech.  Now correct me if I am wrong, isn’t ND a private Catholic school?  Inviting a politician who’s only legislative achievement in his state and federal legislative career was championing the passage of the Illinois law requiring survivors of abortion to be put to death by denying them any medical care and going to extreme methods if that did not do the job.  Add that to the lifting of the embryonic stem cell ban essentially turning planned parenthood clinics into laboratory supply warehouses.  All I can say is that the leaders at ND really want to buck the system and prove they are Americans first and Catholics second.  I guess they are following the 2 guarantees in life literally, taxes and death.  Where is the separation of Church and State on this one, oh yea, private college and public figure, my bad I thought it was only bad for the Church to get involved in the States’ business, not the other way around.  While on the topics of religion, our Secretary of State, Hillary, went to Mexico recently and ended up at the site of the patron saint of Mexico’s site for a visit, in Guadalupe, when shown the sacred shroud she asked the priest ‘that is beautiful, who painted it?’ to which the priest stated ‘God’.  Classic, you would think the Secretary of State would research a country a little and her route and itinerary to ensure no social or religious snafus would crop up, especially having that get caught on film. 

International issues – North Korea… Here we go again.  They have invaded Chinese territory to punish two Korean born US Citizens who had the audacity to film their country from the Chinese border.  You know there were Americans because anyone who has lived here for more then a year knows that the border between the two is pretty porous and open and China will always turn a blind eye.  I guess Al Gore will need to find 2 more recruits, and maybe this time he can tell them what they are getting into before they get paraded in the capital of a hostile state and tortured for treason.  In a few days Kim, the Dear Leader, will launch a 3 stage rocket into space to put a communication satellite into orbit.  We know this is a veil, because who is North Korea communicating with?  They are completely cut off from the world because they can’t control what is out there.  What do you want to bet this satellite will be a washing machine or something that will crash into another satellite and cause yet more space junk.  The US of course is stating sanctions will be put into place, pttttt.  We all know China, a permanent member of the UN Security Council, will not allow the rouge nation to be punished.  The South Koreans are scared to act, facing down the world’s largest army and knowing how the US has recently dropped support for its Eastern European allies I can’t blame them at all.  North Korea needs real pressure placed on them from all 5 partners in ensuring their nuclear ambitions cease as quickly as possible, Russia, China, Japan, South Korea, and the US all need to unify and punish North Korea without the UN’s involvement.  Once again the UN and our reliance in it is proving to be impotent and ineffective.

Cultural issues – For those who are not aware, there are numerous Tea Parties going on around the country on April 15th.  These are to signal to the government we want representation for the taxes we pay by re-enacting the Boston Tea party that was a major event leading up to the creation of our nation.  I suggest all seek out these events close you to and attend if at all possible.  This is not a conservative only issue, we all pay taxes.  Cigarette, gas, alcohol, sales, property, licensing fees, all the hidden little taxes we pay are the major issues.  Add that to the porkulous spending and soon to be largest budget in the history of the world and I feel it is vital we send those who work in our names a message that we OWN THEM, they don’t tell us what to do, we tell them WHAT WE WANT and they do it.  They represent US, not their party and its wacky ideals, right and left wackyness included.  It is time we all READ the constitution and see where in it the government has the power to do what it is doing now.  Read the Federalist Papers, our Declaration of Independence, and other founding works so we better understand what the term, We the People means and how the government belongs to US, not the people we send to do our dirty work.  Oh, Mr. Obama… we OWN YOU, and your little Nancy Pelosi too, that goes for you Harry Reid and Barney Frank.  We OWN all of you, we PAY your salaries, expense accounts, health insurance premiums, retirement savings, remember that.  Not until you re-write the Constitution will you break the back of the nation.  Here is one for you rich people out there.  I challenge each American making over $3 million a year in income to work for only $1 in 2010.  This gives you 9 months to save.  If you accept this challenge the vast majority of tax revenue to pay for this liberal insanity will not exist!  Think about if the richest 10% of the nation, who pay 80% of taxes, forego paying tax for 1 year.  Sure it can not be coordinated, just like gas out days or Earth hour, but if all the CEO’s and corporate big wigs did this, the Dems would have no money to study pig farts or the 2010 census results.  I also challenge the members of our elected state and federal governments to forgo their salaries for 1 year and cut their staff by 75%.  Spend more time listening to the people who you represent and reading their letters and less time with lobbyists and fellow government employees so you are connected with the people to whom you ultimately answer.  This will save hundreds of millions of tax dollars and will reconnect the elected to the electors and ensure only those who have a duty to serve will do so.  Do that and I will eat my shoes, raw.

Today I was amazed to learn my alma mater, UW-Milwaukee, is beginning to make the news over a very controversial publication in a scientific journal.  In the late February edition of Geophysical Research Letters and later picked up by Discovery Channel News but has just now began to get circulated on major news outlets.  So why am I bringing this up, and it is not to shamefully plug my far left-wing university?  The paper, titled “Has Climate Recently Shifted?” authored by Kyle Swanson and Anastasios Tsonis.  The research paper, if you care to read it, outlines how the climate temperatures of the past decade mathematically indicate the planet is actually cooling, not warming as Al Gore and the rest of the global warming, I mean climate change, crowd insist.  Now these two are not trying to debunk or disprove climate change, to the contrary they are stating their findings only state the climate is equalizing now, but their mathematical models do explain what I and many others have been stating for the past 5 years, the Earth heats and cools naturally and human intervention most likely has little impact on this, i.e. age of dinosaurs being tropic, ice age being, well, ice.

Before some of the radical left try to skewer these two please note this.  They have been published 11 times since 2007 and referenced numerous times in citations, very important in advancing in the academic world.  They used a complex advanced mathematical model called synchronized chaos which has been under study since the 1970’s, of course scientists then believed we were entering another ice age too.  This pair has been working on and publishing papers on this since 2007 and their research is funded by the National Science Foundation and cited by major science publication organizations.  The pair has not anticipated being drawn into the eye of the storm of climate change debate however.  Their findings are based on sound and proven techniques and show that global warming peaked and waned at the turn of the century and we are now in a state of cooling as the oceans and atmosphere are equalizing. 

While it is true there are glaciers retreating and breaking off into the oceans, sea levels are rising, and we need to better use our energy resources and stop depending on technology of 100 years ago we also neet to look for better ways to fuel out energy needs (use more nuclear power), this much is true and observed.  However the science behind Gore’s Nobel Prize winning fiction piece and other’s distorted views colored by mass media agenda driven propaganda is not 100% clear.  The debate is not over.  We have seen divesting cold winters for the past 3 years in Asia, Europe, and North America with documented falling temperatures globally since 2005.  Yes we need to change, but as I have stated before, we should not presume to be so arrogant as to believe our existence on this planet can actually destroy the climate.  Science is proving the climate has changed radically and for unknown reasons in the past.  Pole shifts, ash clouds, mass floods, expanding and contracting deserts, yo-yoing ocean levels, all of this happens every few thousand years.  We have only just begun to record climate for the what, 200 years at best?  The model the two authors use accurately tracks the temperatures of the last 100 years and clearly points out the current seen phenomena of global cooling and predicts continued cooling followed by another cycle of warming.

These two took some of the same classes I took at UWM.  I know the professor who explained that all this global warming talk is premature until we can understand the effect of our axis wobble, planet wobble, orbit wobble, and sun’s expansion, contraction, and solar storms on our climate and track it for long enough to predict it, at least 3 full cycles (about 30,000 years).  The core ice samples, sandstone layers, peat bog cores, are all good but they do not paint a complete picture.  This study is not complete either, but it goes a long way in stating what many of us have been saying but were ignored and shouted down by the main stream media, global warming, I mean climate change, is sexy, normal weather patterns is not.  Those taking advantage of and pushing the hysteria are left wing fruit cakes hell bent on destroying our current society (based on manufactoring, fossil fuels, plastics, and anything produced since the 1800's).  Their agenda is clear, fear and loathing, and those buying into it need to sit down and seriously look at the facts, not the science fiction.

So now the major press is getting wind of this story, Wisconsin is all abuzz about it and scientists who want to prove the case with science and facts before crying wolf are going to ensure this message gets out.  So before we get all huffy and puffy about this and draw lines in the sand, we need to make sure what is what and what isn’t.  Yes we need to pollute less, yes we need to use less electricity (hang clothes out the window like here in China and not use dryers), yes Earth Hour this weekend is important (I am participating), and yes we need to develop better and more efficient energy production and transmission, but we don’t need to cause a panic to push a hair brain agenda that is not proven and based off of incomplete science.  The reason for the fear and hype is to get the public at large to support the destruction of industrialzation and set back social development thousands of years.  Odds are Yellowstone will blow its top and plunge half the world into a ‘nuclear winter’ before we kill off all the ocean fish and foliage on the planet with our carbon emmissions.  People for the most part are basing 99% of their opinions on emotional propaganda produced by ratings driven mass media and agenda driven left-wing idealists who are now taking over America.  Real science strips emotion out of the process and used facts, logic, and math to show the reality of it all.  Lets finish the science before we go back to living in caves and hunting for a living.  My ancestors were doing that just 100 years ago so it would be easy for me to revert, except my country is invaded by Europeans and they killed off nearly all my food source, the buffalo.  There is an old saying that applies here, don't go off half cocked.

Ah, the good old days of the Clinton administration.  Bill was constantly under investigation for shady real estate deals, girl friends or interns, or renting out the Lincoln bedroom and Hillary was shot down in flames over socializing health care.  It was at this time that she stated there was a vast right wing conspiracy to bring the Clintons down.  This was a defining moment in showing the Clintons as bitter and slightly kooky.  There is a reason why you can’t convict a capital crime on circumstantial evidence alone, ask OJ about that one.

I am not going to fall into the obvious trap of implying the same thing madam president was doing at the time of Billy’s impeachment.  Instead I am going to outline the circumstances slowly coming into view like the jagged rocks of a cliff in the fog on a shipwreck inlet. 

I could go on for thousands of words on Obama’s lack of experience, ignorance, stupidity, and incompetence but that will achieve nothing more then ire from liberal minded ones who are still basking in the glow of electing the first half black man who was raised by whites in Hawaii and attended Harvard and Harvard Law becoming president of Harvard Law Review (as far from being black as an Irishman raised in Alaska) to president of our fair republic.  I could write for pages about Pelosi, Reid, Frank and the rest of the government insane clown posse better known as the Democrat controlled Congress but again pointing out the worst approval rating governmental body in US history, worse then GWB over the past 3 years, will only incite the left to cry fowl and say I am part of the problem and not the solution.  I will save that for another blog on another day because all that stuff is just too good to resist writing about.

I will talk about the utter hypocrisy revelation of the month. that of Obama’s go to financial wizard, remember the new head of the IRS who was a habitual tax cheat, was the author of the loopholes allowing AIG to issue and pay bonuses to top executives.  I can go one better, the very Congressional Democrats who were loudest against the bonuses were the ones who also authored the initial bailout package to AIG and the lack of intelligent controls of the money, most of which evaporated.  Who were the largest contributor to 4 out of 5 Democrats railing against AIG’s bonuses, you guessed it AIG, check it out, its public record.  That is how the initial bailout funds were given, and lost, and how the second round ended up going to bonuses and such, now its a big deal. 

Puppet master Pelosi.  If Obama is not in Washington who is running the government, I will give you 2 guesses and Joe Bidden is not one of them.  The problem in Pelosi and the DNC’s plan is that Obama is a little too arrogant and gaff prone to pull off the empty suit role effectively.  The years of cultivation and planning are now jeopardized because the perfect pansy who could razzle and dazzle and divert attention is under the assumption he is actually in charge and calling the shots, the gaul and audacity of him!  Obama has scolded and chided the Democrats on the 8,000 earmark stimulus bill, wink wink, nod nod and passed it anyway saying while not perfect it had to be passed.  His role as diversion tactic eye candy worked as he stated we HAD to pass now worked well, but not well enough.  Pelosi, off the win of her insane SCHIP package does not know when to cool it, she is getting greedy and impatient and is pulling back the curtain so we can see the wizard behind the machine.  Now she is calling for a second stimulus, and all this when Obama’s budget is 13% GDP, GWB’s war time only got up to 5%, and the GAO is stating his calculations are now almost $2 trillion short!  Where will all this money come from, tax the rich! tax the rich! tax the rich!  Redefine who is rich.

Obama needs a “thinking on your feet” upgrade.  First he insults mentally impaired people and gets a pass Ben Stiller wishes he got for Tropic Thunder.  Then he makes light and jokes about the economy on 60 minutes, getting light press.  Follow all this up with his performance in the staged circus the White House calls a press conference (pre selected reporters and questions only please) and he states 2 items that hare lighting up the conservative blogsphere, first 1 out of 50 children in America are homeless and many are living under bridges, wow that is a lot of kids living like trolls.  Second he says that it isn’t fair for rich people to get a 39% tax deduction on charities, home mortgages, etc. and should only get a 28% deduction like the lower tax brackets, oh and no tax itemizations for the rich.  So if it isn’t fair to get the tax cut, why is it fair to pay the higher tax rate?  Fair is fair, people who pay higher taxes would get higher tax breaks in an equal proportion.  Raising the rate of taxes rich people pay but lowering the deductions they can claim is the opposite of fair.  The only thing that is more bazaar is his answer to the follow up question, you know, if the rich don’t get to deduct charitable contributions Obama thinks they will continue to donate at their existing levels.  Rich people give money to get the deduction, take away the incentive and they will pay less, there is no real motivation to give more, oh and conservative are proved to contribute more to charity then liberals, unless it was on purpose so the government can take over the running and operations of the charities.  Should rich people pay more taxes, of course, should they get proportionate deductions, of course because this encourages them to donate more or pay a higher mortgage, which provides more property tax revenue for the local community.

Obama is a lousy magician.  The first thing they teach you in magician school is to distract people’s attention with one hand while you do the trick with the other.  Obama was going to bring bi-partisanism back to D.C, then did nothing with Pelosi and Reid locked out Republicans from stimulus bill and omnibus spending bill authoring, resulting in the infamous 8,000 earmarks.  He was going to bring hope and faith in our government back, now more and more people are skeptical of socialism, taxes, deficit spending, and inflation.  Obama was going to rebuild our international reputation, closed GITMO, sort of, sparked a trade war with Mexico, was talked down to by Canada, Great Britain, and now the EU over our protectionism and isolationism legislation.  He was going to rebuild confidence and strength in America, now his brilliant tax dodging Treasury Secretary is agreeing with China in establishing a new international currency because confidence in the US dollar is at an all time low.  Obama was going to bring integrity to Washington, well 13 tax cheats, numerous lobbyists, beltway Clinton administration insiders, and Chicago machine cogs later we have an administration that echoes “the more things change the more they stay the same”, that is change we can believe in.  Transparency, well the 5 day review policy has already been blogged on by yours truly.  How about accountability, call Obama the president of a 1000 czars.  The administration’s usage of the unofficial official czar role, the most of any administration, is anything but accountable, no Senate confirmations, no elections, no committees, the president’s ear, this is so bad Democrat senator Robert Byrd has sent Obama a letter stating grave concern and outlining Obama’s historic overuse of the position that czars “inhibit openness and transparency, and reduce accountability” and later added “The rapid and easy accumulation of power by White House staff can threaten the constitutional system of checks and balances”, harsh words of abuse of presidential powers, something Obama always pinned on GWB.  Partial list of czars; health reform, energy and climate change, urban affairs, economic, AIDS, Drug, Stimulus (VP Biden), tech, education, copyright, intelligence, and all working directly for the president, bypassing existing channels and having no checks or balances.  While this seems like a good idea it provides a new layer of governance to move through and they have to share power with confirmed cabinet members.  Accountability.

Hillary is one smart politician.  By taking the Secretary of State job she has isolated herself and cemented her foreign policy experience and contacts.  She is no longer a Senator so she is not accountable to the citizens of New York State.  She does not have to defend or explain her voting record anymore.  If the Obama administration continues to self destruct and bring backlash to the party, she will be positioned as a golden candidate.  She is racking up the experience and contacts on the world stage.  She has gotten Obama and his groupies to pay off her campaign debt.  Man, those Clintons are smart.  Oh, and giving Obama most of their people for his administration and they can destroy if from the inside, and if you don’t believe they are above such dirty tricks, you don’t know politics.

I am pointing out the double speak of the administration and our Congress.  If you want solutions, real and not invented (all I can provide) well, we will have to wait until balanced budgets are realized and leprecons riding unicorns are seen on K street chasing out the lobbyists.  I can Monday morning QB the administration, but that is merely an exercise in futility, much like training for a week on the ISS.  Some things are obvious from the get go, a slow PC, a bad TV, shoddy craftsmanship, others take a while, the lemon of a car, bad furniture to bad clothing.  This administration is proving to be the latter, no need to take it back for repairs, its obviously broken.  We now have North Korea readying their second test of an ICBM, Iran exposed supplying terrorists in Palestine, Hugo Chavez mouthing off, Mexico setting tariffs over a trucking row, China submitting a vote of no confidence in the US dollar, and of course there is still Russia out there too, oh yea and a domestic disaster that was built and nourished by the Democrat lead Congress in place now and recent revelations and policies of ACORN and HUD that created the housing mess that sparked it all, and Obama was a cog in that wheel too.  The evidence of a vast left-wing conspiracy is not there, but it we conservatives were like Hillary we would call it so. 

I have been running into more and more Americans here overseas who are grateful to be out of the country in this time of uncertainty.  Why, they all cite the economy and the direction of the country.  For all the white washing, name calling, and blame shifting the media is screaming at the public to such a deafening volume, the reality is just not in synch.  I am not saying this as a sore loser conservative or doom and gloom nay-sayer but as an American who is watching the ship sink as it catches fire and burns on the way down.  This is the reality of what is going on.  Despite the love affair from all corners of the liberal community towards this new ‘golden age’ of American politics we are witnessing the total collapse of our free market economy and the beginnings to nationalization of all things to all people in the country.

The more the US government acts the more the markets go down.  Pelosi ramrods a bill, the market tanks.  Pelosi and Reid hold closed door stimulus deals, the market tanks.  Obama signs a bill into law, the market tanks.  Obama and his tax dodging economy geniuses make comments and testimony, the market tanks.  Obama tries to calm down the markets, yep it tanks.  Day in and day out I have seen my modest retirement savings plummet to near initial investment levels, despite pumping in more money to take advantage of low mutual fund and stock prices.  Since Obama has been sworn in we have seen little if any impact on the markets from any newly identified source.  We have had full knowledge of what has been going on since January; AIG, Citi Group, Bank of America, GM and Chrysler, all of it has had no shocking new or damaging revelations announced since January.  Global markets and currencies are not falling dramatically and for the most part are declining in a steady yet stable glide down.  Despite all this the markets have shed 23% of its value in this time, why?

I have stated on this blog I would give Obama a chance and some opportunities to show himself and his true colors before I began criticizing his leadership and administration.  That time is now officially over.  In less then 100 days Obama has taken a bad situation and made it drastically worse.  The levels of incompetence, ignorance, and sheer lunacy going on in Washington DC is making me seriously consider the unthinkable, that my beloved country will only emerge from this crisis as a pale shadow of its former self.  Obama, Pelosi, and Reid’s vision of America through their actions has done more damage and destroyed more progress in our country then Al Qaida has with all its attacks on our country, combined.  I am not exaggerating, look at the results since November and where we are today and look at the same amount of time from the USS Cole, African embassy bombings, and both WTC attacks.

I am not going to back down or sugar coat this criticism under the hopes and desires to have the Obama dream presidency turn a corner and we are all delivered to the liberal promised land.  Obama’s lack of real job experience is showing and this is being reflected by the confidence in our economy to recover and our country to return to a leadership position on the world stage.  We Americans vote in many ways on many things everyday.  The stark reality to the liberal dream is that nobody is buying it.  The more Obama does and the more information that is released on the direction he is leading the country into is being voted against every day in the Stock Exchanges, Corporate employment departments, local governments, and households across the nation.  Lack of confidence is causing the money to be saved and squatted on by all those who really matter in our economy, the ones who run our businesses.  If Obama is trying to break the back of the free market system and establish a nanny state or a society solely dependant on the government for survival then congratulations, its working.

The armature dealings go far beyond our economic mess, to secret letters to Russia leaked to the NY Times (a liberal mouthpiece so we know it came from the White House itself), to protectionism legislation despite calls from around the world it will result in trade wars and even England’s Prime Minister coming to DC and saying directly not to do it, to their lack of response to North Korea on its attention getting remarks on saying it wants a war with us, to Iran who must be laughing at us for the Russian back door policy disaster with the very country who is building Iran’s enrichment facilities, to his lack of showing China the respect and gratitude he needs to for the help we will need from them over the next 2 years, to his top officials engaging in a media war with conservative talk show hosts for no other reason then to posture for the next election to help make more gains in mid term elections, to Obama’s sour grapes response to Republican opposition to his policy and legislation when he does not even need their votes or support to pass these things because his party controls everything anyway, the Republicans are irrelevant and impotent in the government so just let them speak out and scream because it will not matter at the end of the day because they don’t have the votes to stop anything.

Barack Obama has not had a real job in his life, much less a real leadership job in any facet of the definition of the word and we wonder why the world is crumbling down around us despite all the wonderful words and platitudes Obama spews from his golden tongued font.  Talk is cheap, actions speak louder then words, if you talk the talk you better be able to walk the walk, proof is in the pudding, a bird in the hand is better then 2 in the bush.  No matter how you want to put it the leadership of the nation is NOT happening.  The direction the country is being steered in is NOT working.  Confidence in our country is NOT there.  Throwing money into the abyss in hopes it will fill is NOT working.  Saying a single company is too big to fail is NOT the right answer.  The Democratic vision of how to fix this mess is NOT resulting in anything coming close to the neighborhood of success.  Yes it has been only 4 months since Obama won the election and 2 months since him taking office but how far are we willing to let things drop before we demand a different direction?  Guess what, by the time Obama hits 100 days we are dangerously close to seeing some of the largest companies in US history fail which will cascade far beyond what anyone can imagine.  Here is something else for you, George W. Bush is not to blame.  His administration fell asleep at the switch over lending regulations, this stimulus plan authored proudly by Pelosi and Reid and signed into law by Obama will be judged by its real impact.

Obama’s eloquent public speaking skills have not steemed the tide of unemployment as over 1,000,000 jobs have been lost since Obama took office in January.  That is the reality.  Nationalizing healthcare talk and banks have not loosened up lending or instilled confidence in companies to stop laying off people.  Delaying tax cuts and promising to bailout irresponsible homeowners who bought more home then they could afford has not spurred investment in small business expansion, creation, or investment into the very companies who are cutting back expansion and laying off workers left and right.  Obama’s public charm and intoxication of inspiration has not worked on those very groups who employ or create jobs in our country.  Obama’s building bridges and rebuilding our international reputation has not paid any dividends or promises of partnerships but has drawn warnings and promises of retaliation for his Buy American pledge from our staunches allies to at arm length partners.  Canada, England, and Asian countries have all lectured Obama on this policy and yet, he is still going down this road.  No, word are truly cheap, the cost of taking the wrong actions appear to be the wealth and economic power of our country.  If Obama does not stop this insanity and Pelosi and Reid stopped with losing the majority of seats in Congress then is seems we will see the real cost of all these wrong actions.  Talk is cheap, the actions taken are showing no way of fixing the mess we are in.  There is something worse then inaction, the wrong action and that is what the far left liberals have pushed for and achieved at this particular moment.  Our governments actions are causing much more harm then good and as the liberals sing songs of praise the ship is continuing to sink, but now the fires are beginning to burn and it may be too late to save the mess now.
