Obama’s Unawareness Problems
9 June 2009, 9:16 am



The Audacity of Unawareness

April 15th, 2009 5:03 pm Barack Obama, through his spokesman, claimed today that he was unaware of the tax day tea parties. Granted, the MSM has done a good job in suppressing any sort of coverage ahead of time (and the little coverage they did provide was derisive at best)… but how out of touch is the Community Organizer in Chief, really?

This much.

- He was unaware that he was attending a church (for 20 years) with a racist pastor who hates America .

- He was unaware that he was family friends with, and started his political career in the living room of, a domestic terrorist.

- He was unaware that he had invested in two speculative companies backed by some of his top donors right after taking office in 2005.

- He was unaware that his own aunt was living in the US illegally.

- He was unaware that his own brother lives on pennies a day in a hut in Kenya .

- He was unaware of the AIG bonuses that he and his administration approved and signed into a bill.

- He was unaware that the man he nominated to be his Secretary of Commerce was under investigation in a bribery scandal.

- He was unaware that the man he nominated to be his Secretary of Health and Human Services was a tax cheat.

- He was unaware that the man he nominated to be his Secretary of the Treasury was a tax cheat.

- He was unaware that the man he nominated to be the U.S. Trade Representative was a tax cheat.

- He was unaware that the woman he nominated to be his Chief Performance Officer was a tax cheat.

- He was unaware that the man he nominated to be #2 at the Environmental Protection Agency was under investigation for mismanaging $25 million in EPA grants.

How Many Czars does it take to…..
11 June 2009, 12:08 pm

…shut down Detroit?

…pay their own taxes?

…manage your lives?

…screw in a light bulb?

…etc…etc…etc?

Obama has set a new record for circumventing the Constitution with his self appointed underlings.  People that answer to no one, but him.

Yes its true, he was not the first president to do so, and it even started under Preside Reagan with a “Drug Czar”, which was continued under the senior Pres. Bush.  Expanded to three under Pres. Clinton, then up to 4 under our last president.

Obama has stretched this up to 16 positions.  You can argue the same ol’, same ol’….others started this, its the tact a politician would take. Or you could say, I don’t care who started it, it was wrong then, and it is wrong now, and it has to stop.

A president does not have the authority to make such appointees, even with the best intentions.  You destroy the system of checks and balances written into the perhaps most important document written by the founding fathers.  The bad thing is this, there are already departments to handle all of this.  Its either a case of a politician reacting to something, and instead of enforcing laws that already exist, but insist on passing a new law….OR….it is the President seizing more power for himself and the federal government.

Here is a list of all of Obama’s Czars taken from Glenn Beck’s website.

Letterman still doesn’t understand
16 June 2009, 1:04 pm

Dave Letterman apoligized again, this time a bit more sincere for his crude joke last week.  Unfortunately he still thinks that the joke was appropriate for an 18 year old girl.

John Conyers should join the Biden Tour
28 July 2009, 2:36 pm

Michigan’s John Conyers should go on the road with Vice President Joe Biden.  The words that come out of their mouths are unbelievable.  In Biden’s case, its just “Joe being Joe.”  Seriously the VP makes Dan Quayle look like a Rhodes Scholar, and yet he gets mostly a pass...

Terrorists in Standish/More Health Care

I just heard this on the news, in what is probably a Granholm grab at more federal dollars, the feds are heading to Standish, Michigan to inspect one of the state prisons for the possibility of housing Gitmo detainees.  This is typical of our Governor, she has no idea what she is doing with our eco...

Phone Propaganda
16 October 2009, 3:09 pm

I had seriously though about not doing this anymore, writing a conservative blog in Monroe County?  Was I nuts or what, then the phone rang today and the old fire came back.  People that just do not get it, never will.  They fail to see beyond the cover, and actually read the pages to see what is...
