What Legacy to Our Children

 

These money transfusions and exploratory surgery that Paulson, Pelosi, Dodd, Reid and buddies are performing will result in a depression, if someone doesn’t get a handle on our government. Americans have to speak up it’s our country, families and future that we we’re fighting for at this time. What will our children and their children do if we don’t fix this mess?

What if we charged Uncle Sam a very high interest fee on our money that is being so freely passed out to those who were mismanaging their business? In other words, we don’t have to ask permission just do it, that’s what Paulson and cohorts do… 

We get a wake up call that Bear Stearns is in deep doo doo and needs to borrow a few bucks from us – believe the rounded out amount totaled 29 billion and change. Don’t remember being told when this money will be paid back, at what interest rate and when taxpayers can expect a check?

One day we wake up and we’re told that Fannie & Freddie have a severe case of fraudulent spending and are in debt up to their armpits. The next thing we know Americans are bailing out these “pet government” projects and we’re not happy campers, but starting to adjust to the idea that we’re not in control – our voice has been lost and guess what we’re going to work once again for Uncle Sam like it or not.  

Just when we thought it couldn’t get worse, it did. Those shysters in the White House are once again crying doom and gloom saying either kick in some more money and bailout AIG or else?????

So we did and then we did it again and don’t be surprised if AIG doesn’t bring their tin bucket begging for even more than their 85 billion.

By golly, don’t forget the Big 3 – they’ll be back hitch hiking or via bus, train or airplane, but no private jets. Why have the Big 3 been singled out and like Palin made fun of and ridiculed – AIG and the other lending institutions aren’t exactly the “Better than thou” model of honest business practices. Just who is it playing “God” in the White House deciding who will and who won’t receive a money transfusion?

Many banks are standing in line behind Citi Bank and of course non-financial institutions will follow shortly thereafter… So maybe we the people of the United States of America could have our voice heard or at least our presence felt if we had our employers divert our money paid for taxes back into our pockets. 


At least this would be one way to insure that the money we’re loaning comes back to the “lender.” Americans need to join hands, unite and stop our run away government! “May God Bless Each and Everyone.”

Very seldom do I give my personal email out, but tonight seems like the time to ask my readers to contact me with their thoughts and ideas. anniewood1@netzero.net

3 R's of Parenthood

Rights - Roles - Responsibilities

Several weeks ago I attended my grandson’s high school football game. Excitement filled the air as parents, grandparents and friends found their seats in the bleachers.  If the football team can pull another win out of the hat, they will be in the playoffs (the first time in six years.)

Suddenly I realized the hush that fell over the crown wasn’t about the game, but about a 21 year old man who stood on the field with hat in hand covering his heart.  Three years ago, this young man was a track star in our high school and now a veteran with a prosthetic leg.

He is the epitome of one who assumed his rights, roles and responsibilities to keep us safe and to help the less fortunate.  The bleachers were packed and heads were bowed in prayer as the announcer spoke about this young hero.

All at once hundreds of men and women on motorcycles circled the field carrying our “Red, White and Blue” flag in honor of this man and their country.  Tears flowed as we sang the National Anthem – in my heart, I knew that America still stands as “One Nation Under God.”  One young veteran and thousands of strangers were connected by a chain of love.

For those who met him for a few brief moments, he will always be their hero! What an act to follow!  Like this young man, parents are heroes too and they will remove the pain from their children’s lives and restore our Nation that is tottering on a weak foundation.

Parenthood is a “God” given gift and no one has the right or authority to tamper with our parents – they are the pulse of America.  Remember your childhood, when your imagination and dreams would sweep you off to fantasyland – you were the hero or heroine that saved the day.

A dolly would become a beautiful princess in the blink of an eye or and old broom handle was transformed into a prancing black stallion blowing smoke or whatever out of his nostrils.  You were the knight in shinning armor, who saved the maiden in distress or the nurse that healed the sick and doctored the neighborhood stray.

Yep, those were the good old days, when you believed in yourselves and you experienced a distinct warm fuzzy feeling of human worth.  The good news is this – there’s still a little hero or heroin hid away in your heart and soul, just waiting to be called to action.

Maybe you haven’t heard the call yet, but look around and listen to your children. They’re yelling and stomping their feet trying to get your attention.  Our children are suffering from a pain that is very complex;  it’s illusive, difficult to treat and many times misdiagnosed.

They are experiencing an emptiness and a gnawing discomfort which is affecting their minds and bodies.  Treatment is superficial, somewhat like a band aide, unless the real problem is identified.

New child psychology, the women’s movement and non parental caregivers (not in any particular order) are three concerns that have spawned excessive psychological and physical damage to our children.

These are the stimuli that have created a portion of this complex pain, but they’re not the cause.  With careful examination, you’ll find this complex pain comes from a slow erosion of human values and worth that is causing our country to stumble.

Everyone, not just parents and children have been blindsided!  Our leaders suffered too as the new era slowly and relentlessly replaced “morality and spirituality with immorality, self and materialism.

Our government attempted to stay in the middle of the road in a ridiculous effort trying to retain their popularity and position in office.  Confusion set in as our they tried to please everyone by being “politically correct,” which was the beginning and the end for most politicians who believed in morals, human worth and values.

It seems like everything converged on us at one time.  Overnight we started making adjustments due to modern child psychology, the women’s movement and pressure from the baby boomers.

Just when we were scrambling to keep up with the rapid changes - stage left in tramped the special small interest groups (the meddlers) who always wait to make their moves until we are totally distracted.

Yes, parents were agitated, angry and confused, but the trickle down affect of this era placed parents in a compromising position.   The ones behind these movements were strategists and their first order of business was to take the air out of parents and remove parental control.

What better way to bring our Nation to its knees than through our parents and their children!  Even if some of our leaders believed in “One Nation Under God,” they were afraid to discuss and retrieve this fundamental right.

Parents, grandparents and concerned citizens are the ones who will have to take time out and restore our country morally and spiritually, but first they must take back their rights, roles and responsibilities. Help John McCain restore our Nation!

Parents will be the ones who leave a legacy for our children that has real value and human worth.  The past is behind us and we can’t keep dwelling on the past – we must stride forward into the future with the resolve to put discipline and prayer back into our schools and resume parental roles. 

Working together one family at a time to put our Nation back on track as one “Nation Under God With Liberty and Justice for All.”  Oh yes, it will take effort on our part but what a great feeling it will be to leave our children a truly awesome legacy.

As John F. Kennedy said, “And so my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you.  Ask what you can do for your country.” For those who believe in “God:” he’s still alive and well!   How do I know this, I watched as the Republican Convention closed their ceremony with prayer.

Yow, there were a few low blows about the Church card being pulled out and used, but the good thing is regardless of the off the wall responses - prayer did get the attention of the special interest groups.  You know, they are most welcome to join us as we put our tottering Nation back on a strong foundation.

Sweep Sweep Sweep Mr. Obama

Michelle Obama insinuated that her husband will put us to work: we’ll start doing chores for Obama and clan. So grab a broom and help me clean out their closets and sweep anything that moves under the rug.

Daniel Mudd (CEO Fannie Mae) gives a brief farewell speech to those left behind. He is quietly throwing in his hat, removing his crown and stepping down from Fannie Mae, a most corrupt mortgage machine.

Let’s say Daniel got away while the getting is good – but there are some who have a few questions for him before he disappears in the dark shadows of wealth. Sweep – Sweep – Sweep!

A large number of our Congress has stood at Fannie and Freddie’s backdoor asking for a handout; they have received millions of dollars from the big hearted Fannie and Freddie. Wouldn’t you know it; Christopher Dodd and Obama were the top two recipients?  Sweep – Sweep – Sweep, you’re doing great!

It’s important to remember that “little Freddie and big Fannie” are a Democratic creation started during Bill Clinton’s reign. They were sculptured and molded by Democrats with the intention of making mortgages available to more people (especially those with bad credit and those unable to get a loan.) Need a sledge hammer and crow bar for this – a broom doesn’t suffice!

Chief executive Richard Syron (Chief executive officer) was warned way back in 2004 that there were too many questionable loans and Freddie’s health was at risk. Richard continued receiving warnings about the shady mortgages and continued loaning our money to those with bad credit.  Sweep – Sweep – Sweep!  

As mentioned earlier, Mr. Obama was one of the first to plop down at Freddie and Fannie’s doorstep. Isn’t it ironic that Chris Dodd and Barack Obama were the two people receiving the most money from these 2 banks? Getting tired of sweeping; get used to it our dear Mr. Obama hasn’t been inaugurated yet.  

FEC (Federal Election Committee) just gave us the finger and a big yawn stating that they aren’t about to do a thorough investigation on Obama’s campaign funds.  We’ll never know how many Mr. Doodads, Mr. Goodwills or foreigners graciously contributed to the Obama funds! Think you’d better grab a vacuum on this one – too much crap laying around to sweep!

Fast forward to November 18th and you will see what’s happening to our 700 billion dollars that reluctantly loaned to the government. Paulson (Treasury Secretary) took it upon himself, along with Pelosi, Dodd, Reid and Obama to use 350 billion dollars to stabilize the financial constitutions. So far the middleclass and mortgage holders have been totally left out of the mix. 

One last little bit of information for your ears only… Those of us not connected with any particular news media have tried in vain to get Americans interested in Obama’s past, his employment record, his community charities or how the grant money from our government was used. Nothing to sweep it’s all been lost or relegated to an ancient history shelf.

So Obama has gotten out of his many messes looking “Lillie White.” FEC doesn’t want to ruffle the water so they’re quietly walking away from his campaign problems. 

The Freddie and Fannie mess is another thing that he just quietly ignores. Change should be his middle name (Barack Change Obama.) There have been so many changes during his campaign against Hillary and John that none of us have a clue what he’s about to do or say next. Happy sweeping, I hear it doesn’t pay overtime, let alone minimum wage.

Many of you don’t believe in vetting or having our new President submit a resume – that appears to be a given. But answer this one question, if in fact vetting and resumes are unimportant, why does Obama’s employee applications insist on knowing everything about you, including your toothpaste and undies? 

Just take “ye ole mouse” and click on this site – after reading this, you decide if a resume and vetting process are important.

Pelosi and Her Piggy

Pelosi used her normal scare tactics and toted the “piggy” right into the brawl. She is one dangerous cat to have in our White House and like Mr. Obama her choice of friends is detestable. Nancy has ramrodded this “bail out” bill through like a bulldozer in a china shop. America needs to know that she’s the problem, not the solution!

There are some honest government representatives who have been fighting for us! Americans need to have their voice heard and the first line of business should be freezing the remaining money from the “bail out.”

Once that is done, we should aggressively concentrate on removing Pelosi, Frank, Dodd and Reid from their nests in our White House.

Here’s what we do know about the “bail out” monies at this time. Over 2 trillion of our money has been handed out by Pelosi and gang. In order to get her bill passed, Pelosi blatantly allowed many millions in piggy projects to be slipped into the bill.  According to many economists and government representatives, we need to have experts (not Pelosi and gang) in charge of the “bail out” money.

The good news is this - many of our government representatives are ready and willing to place country first and help us work through the dilemma. Here are a few man and women who place country first and totally disagree with Nancy and friends. 

United States Senator – Jim Dement     Jim is available to represent us at this time and we certainly need a voice at the White House. 

BobGeiger.com: statements of Democrats opposing the “bail out.”

Check out Bloomberg.com: worldwide

 

If you think our government is honest, just go to this site and read an article about House Appropriations Committee Chairman, David Obey. Obey makes no bones about keeping the “bail out” negotiations away from the public sector; he’s not God and certainly does not have the right to make this decision. He fits the description of sneaky, irresponsible and a man with his own axe to grind. 

Below you will find a list of Democrats who aren’t happy with the “bail out” – take a few minutes time to email them. Ask them for assistance and support; we need to know where the money is going, why and who is doing the oversight and regulations. 

We deserve a daily report!  Americans, it’s time to get tough – don’t sink back in the confines of complacency and trust. This isn’t a good time to turn our heads or shrug our shoulders. 

Here are some Democrats who will support Americans and listen to our calls or emails. Go to: Complete Email Addresses for Senators, Congress and governors.

Ron Wyden (D-O), Jon Tester (D-MT), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Tim Johnson (D-SD)

Don’t forget to email: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi     sf.nancy@mail.house.gov
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid    senator_reid@reid.senate.gov
President George W. Bush   comments@whitehouse.gov

We have unqualified people handling and hiding our money. Not one of us would agree with those ridiculous earmarks that were slipped into the “bail out” bill. It’s our money, our dime and we need to get everyone’s attention in the White House. 

Both Republicans and Democrats should hide their head in shame, because they’ve acted once again irresponsibly and selfishly placing our country at risk. This is more than a little leak in the dam and a band aid is not a fix or solution. We need accountability and transparency in our government at this time – they need to earn our respect and trust.

“May God Bless America.”

Obama and Pelosi Gods

 

Obama and Pelosi  have a couple of things in common – neither one likes to be questioned and their uncanny ability to "change" keeps a magician confused.   Pelosi is sitting like the “Queen Bee” doling out our bail out money and has the guts to say she just might need more, but Lord forbid if taxpayers want a few questions answered about our money.  Obama refuses to adhere to rules on campaign contributions and the scuttlebutt is FEC will tuck tail between their legs and slink away without finishing an audit. He refuses to divulge his past and threatens the media that want to discuss his ability to lead. 

Speaking of changing your mind, Pelosi has changed her mind a little on drilling, but that‘s just to appease the public. She’s hell bent on seeing that gas, oil and fuel will skyrocket in price, just check out the lady that’s backing trade and cap legislation – little Miss Nancy.   She and her greenhouse buddies, are by the way laughing all the way to the bank and will do their best to stop offshore drilling. 

Obama’s many changes must be close to making a record in the World Book Of Guinness, he’s changed his mind on drilling, tax breaks, tax increases, foreign policy, economic crises and most recently he’s announced that he will veto Bush laws on stem cells and anything else he can get his grubby hands on...   Mr. Obama and liberalist friends need to rethink the “stem Cell” subject, our brilliant scientists can and will find other ways to fight Alzheimer. Could this be the reason he’s unable to call a baby a baby in the third trimester of pregnancy?

Obama and Pelosi promise us the world – America is being brainwashed on the “Green” problem, but Obama is going to reach for his magician’s hat and use another 150 billion to create green jobs.   Next he wants billions of dollars to jump start the economy and the list keeps going and going.   The question keeps arising and no one answer us; where is all of this money coming from??? While Obama is making plans to get back into our pockets for more money– Nancy is busy in the White House playing Doctor.

Nancy Pelosi is patting “AIG” on the fanny and tossing them another big marshmallow and at the same time she’s getting ready to spend more “bail out” money to help Detroit. When does accountability come into practice? She hasn’t really informed us about “Freddie & Fannie,” but what we don’t know want hurt us Nancy, or will it?  

Maybe before – Obama and the triplets spend all of our money, we should be allowed to speak. No one informs Americans before the fact - it’s all a done deal better known as after the fact.  

The Democrats have about as much business playing around with our money as the Lobbyists and special interest groups – they’ve had their fun, misused our money, set up grants via Obama and friends that are draining our resources.   When over 300 economists in our United States tell Washington that the “Bail Out” is not the answer, we probably should be listening to them.

First things first, Mr. Obama – down size the government, cut out the earmarks, get control of the runaway lobbyists and special interest groups and make your Democrat friends accountable for their financial blunders. In other words, prosecute, put them behind bars and quit letting them control you. As Chuck Norris said, “Mr. Obama, you work for us now.”  

Anyway you look at it – Nancy and friends need to go; those who are truly not placing their country first needs to exit immediately. By the way, you did know Nancy is going to try to talk us into more “bail out” money in the near future and you, Mr. Obama want extra money from us to jumpstart the economy.  

Nancy wants more because her friends weren’t exactly held accountable during her reign as house speaker.   You want more money, because you don’t have a clue how to lead or protect our country at this time. 

In case, you haven’t heard she’s making a move to spend more or our “bail out” money and President Bush is finally stepping up to the bat – go Bush, talk with us, get qualified economists in there to help us out.  

Do something with this runaway Democratic train – I shudder to think what America is in for when Obama takes over as President!    Mr. Obama has exactly two solutions for handling his Presidency and I’m betting he’ll jump even further left when he gains control. 

There are two choices for him at this time; (1) Restore America’s faith in their government, or (2) Take a dive with your many liberal friends. You can’t have it both ways – maybe you should make one more change and consider the “Center of the Road,” Mr. Obama.  

Yep, I got on my soapbox today, because everything is falling in place just like many of us thought it would. Wright, Ayers and other Obama friends are crawling out of the cracks; Pelosi is going to spend all of the “Bail Out” money the wrong way. 

AIG isn’t going to recover, because those running AIG aren’t and haven’t been accountable.  Several months down the road, the news media will be talking of a pending depression, all because the Democrats are on a power trip!

Obama is getting off the hook once again on his citizenship status, his past record, his campaign funds and I believe our Mr. Wright might be delivering his swearing in invocation on January 20th. Obama says this will be the beginning of healing the racial divide, whoa, I thought Obama was ashamed of his Reverend Wright and distancing himself from that kind of person filled with so much hate for America.

What Change is Mr. Obama Talking About Now?

Mr. Obama, one question keeps raising its ugly head – what is this wonderful “change” that you kept mentioning in your campaign? Your famous last words during your acceptance speech, is finally America is ready to move forward with change – sounds good Mr. Obama.

How do Americans know which of your many changes is the final change that we’ll be able to live with, in the future?   Now ye ole friend Reverend Wright is surfacing and he like Michelle are finally acknowledging pride in our United States. Why do people like Wright and Michelle even bother hanging around if we’ve been such an embarrassment to them?   Michelle seems to have been living the good life in a 4.2 million dollar home and a fairly recent promotion – so what did we do to upset Michelle?

Mr. Obama, you’ve tried to give people the impression that this is a race thing and it’s not – it’s about character, reputation, track record, because it really doesn’t matter if you’re red, black, white or blue. America needs a man or woman who can bravely stand toe to toe with the Democrats and Republicans and restore our Nation to a strong foundation. 

What is the scoop with Reverend Wright – for years you frequented Trinity and listened to Reverend Wright. Then you started sidestepping the Wright issue; you said when the children were young it was impossible to attend Church regularly. 

Shortly after that you claimed to frequent Mr. Wright’s Church, stating that he was a dear friend.  When the news media put a little pressure on you and the burner got hot, you decided that Wright was no longer a friend and he was spewing horrible things from his mouth that you could not tolerate.

Now, headlines say Reverend Jeremiah Wright will be doing the honors at your inauguration and you have the guts to say this will start to mend the racial problems. Oops, me thinks race and foreign monies are what won you the position of President January 2009. If there is a racial problem, you’re the one to blame – not Americans. Haven’t you or your gang noticed recently that there are many, many great African Americans in our country? 

Race isn’t what Americans were questioning – it was your association with Reverend Wright (one black man) and with Ayers and other friends (mostly Caucasians.) So let’s get off the race kick, Mr. Obama – me thinks you doth protest too much.

Our problem with you is really about character and reputation – not being privy to either one; many Americans aren’t exactly comfortable with your leadership abilities! Here are but a few of our concerns at this time.

(1)    It’s a well known fact that approximately 40% of the US citizens don’t pay taxes at this time, so how in the world do you propose to give 95% a tax break, (2) Why did you pick Joe Biden as VP (he certainly has a tainted reputation and doesn’t appear to be the most honest person in the world, (3) Where do you expect to get all of these billions you’ve been talking about to jumpstart our economy – don’t tell me by taxing the corporate gang and business over 200,000 or is it 250,000, (4) What do you really know about foreign policy and how to protect our country? Tea parties aren’t an appropriate answer or response!

So you see, we’re more than a little bit tense about you leading our country, because during all of your campaign speeches you have changed your mind so many times in order to win the election – none of us know who you really are or what your plans are for our country, families and children.

As Always, Annie

Fox Presents Sarah Palin

  

She’s Here to Stay

Folks, Sarah Palin is here to stay – you liberal boys and girls can’t keep a good lady down. She’s so real - it literally makes you break out in a cold sweat, doesn’t it? You’re running out of rocks and she’s like the little energizer bunny. She just keeps going and going!

Her country, kids and husband are her inspiration and her mentor is “God.” Unlike you, she doesn’t chase after false Gods like “materialism” and “self.” Her agenda is a wide open book – working to make life better for her fellow Americans and America.

Sarah’s not one of the Elite and has never yearned or dreamed of being an “insider.” She doesn’t have an axe to grind and feels that all Americans can find a common ground, if they are willing to work together for a common cause. 

She lives one day at a time hoping she won’t miss the next door as it is opened for her to enter. Life in Alaska is good for Sarah and she’s proud to be an Alaskan and citizen of the United States.  Alaskans, both Repulicans and Democrats love Sarah!

As governor of Alaska, she still sees the potential to work with the new President and she’ll be the first to reach across the table to offer a helping hand. Sarah is still pumped up about drilling on the vast shores of the Alaskan border and feels Alaska has the natural resources that will bolster our weakened Nation and open up jobs for thousands of Americans.

Sarah has been roughed up or rather beaten up by the Liberal news media and some of the notorious journalists that couldn’t endure the shock waves when Senator McCain announced her as his VP candidate. 

They’ve had their fun and elected our next President, but that doesn’t seem to bother Sarah; she said Americans had the right to vote as they saw fit and 2008 just wasn’t the right time for the two mavericks.

So to all of you who have made fun of her talk, walk, dress and family – what goes around eventually seems to come around, so be sure you’re there when your day arrives!

Thanks to Greta Van Susteren at Fox, America not only got one more glimpse of Sarah – they were invited into her home for some moose stew and a fireside chat. Greta, you’re just flat made of good stuff – As Always, Annie

What We Don't Know Will Hurt Us

 

Listening this morning to FOX, CNN and NEWSMAX certainly drove home the fact that America has been placed in the hands of a novice person, without a track record. It occurred to me at this same time that not one of us are privy to what goes on behind closed doors as President Bush and Mr. Obama meet. 

The Liberal News Media will downplay Mr. Obama’s responsibilities at this time – they jump on their old outdated worn out gibberish by blaming the Bush Presidency for the recession, high oil prices, the war in Iraq and auto industries downfall.

Think first about the things we really don’t know on Monday, November 10, 2008. Let’s discuss the important political maneuvers that are happening in front of our eyes. 

What could President Bush and Mr. Obama be discussing as we speak? My guess is Mr. Obama is trying to pass the buck without getting his butt in a crack – same as he did in the Senate with the no votes and present.  Silence and indecision are two of his quirks that he uses to obtain a “get out of jail free” card.

Obama talks a good talk, but the walk isn’t quite as cocky as it was during his Presidential campaign.  His first speech to us was after the election was a bunch of rhetoric once again, without meaning –he’s worried about his kid’s new dog being hypoallergenic.  There are 57 plus million people in America who don’t really think a dog for the kids is a priority at this time!

Obama mentioned his not so famous “stimulus package” that we kept questioning –we don’t know where the money is coming from for this package, but we’d like to be the first to know.

Mr. Obama keeps saying he’s going to help the middleclass by raising taxes on the investors and medium size businesses. Why does Mr. Obama think raising taxes will help us in anyway? 

What are Pelosi, Frank, Dodd and Reid doing with our “Bail Out” money and why are they hinting that they need more money from Americans? 

Why did Mr. Obama meet behind closed doors in Iraq begging them to wait until he’s inaugurated?

Why didn’t FEC put a freeze on his campaign money until they completed their investigation? 

Why didn’t the Democrats vet Mr.Obama – we don’t know the answer, but we are starting to realize the importance of vetting a Presidential candidate.

Why did CNN and their liberal buddies refuse to disclose the real information about their candidate’s past, his track record in the Illinois Senate or US Senate and his questionable radical friends? We don’t know, but money has probably been flying under the table at a fast rate of speed. 

None of us know why the housing market went down the tubes and is still declining daily. Many of us realize that the Democrats led us literally by the hand into this economic crisis. We’re starting to get a vision of who caused this housing problem.

Little do we know about the “Bail Out” monies – who has been the recipients, why were they the chosen ones and why is their still a freeze on consumer’s credit? 

Is the “Bail Out” an answer or a band aid? Should we help the auto industry at this time – they have known for a jillion years that alternate fuel, better gas mileage and controlling their inventories, cash flow and investments is crucial to the success of all businesses in a high tech society.

Four years of not knowing where we’re headed, how we’re going to get there and what to expect when we arrive isn’t exactly my idea of security – it’s more like a fast game of Russian roulette and I didn’t raise my hand as a player. 

Would I have written this editorial if Senator McCain was taking over the helm? You bet, because we’ve had way too many years of big government, crooks and shysters – it’s time for Americans to regain their voice. 

At least, Senator McCain has an awesome track record is more than knowledgeable in foreign affairs and would be brave enough to ruthlessly downsize the government, get rid of earmarks, control the special interest groups and the Supreme Court.

What’s that about 57 states and one or two left to go – excuse me Mr. Obama but you’re shirt tail is showing. Maybe you were born in Kenya!

The Middleclass Will Take the Hit

 

Like a little boy in a candy store – Mr. Obama wants a stimulus package for the auto industries, wants the Treasury Department to take the $ 700 billion dollar “bail out” monies to stabilize the financial markets. In his first speech to America, he promises to address the credit crisis, get his stimulus plan underway, help the middleclass and restore the auto industry. 

This isn’t a candy store Mr. Obama – the sign on the government window says, “fire sale,” “going out of business” and most of all “Help.” 350 economists have been trying to tell Washington that the “bail out” is not the best solution, that the people doling out our money don’t have a clue how to do it! 

But, you’re already delegating the Treasury Department to move forward without rhyme or reason – possibly your strategy here is a parallel to your “no vote” record in the Senate. If you don’t get your hands tainted; you can’t be held responsible for any mistakes and as you know there will be mistakes.

Yep,you’re hot to trot to remove the tax cuts for small businesses and investors – in fact you intend to repeal the Bush tax cuts set to expire in 2010. 

Although, your economic advisers have insisted that you would not repeal Bush tax cuts; only 5 days not yet in office and you’ve been forging ahead promising to repeal the cuts and using that money your health insurance plan. Mr. Obama, what don’t you understand about Reganomics?

America, listen to what he’s saying and he isn’t President of the US yet; once these businesses and investors are taxed at a higher rate, we are the ones that take the hit. 

Two things will happen: (1) Investors will withdraw their money before he takes office stressing our all ready weakened economy, and (2) Business taxed will immediately raise the price of their products, goods or services (which is the trickle down affect) meaning we will pay the piper. 

What does Mr. Obama and friends not understand about our present economic problem at this time – the Democrats are the ones to put the dagger in and twist it and rapidly brought us to our knees in less than two years.

350 economists can’t be wrong about the dangers of this stimulus plan or “bail out!”  We’re truly in double trouble, Pelosi, Frank, Dodd & Reid are messing around with our “Bail Out” money and at the same time Obama is raising taxes saying the tax increase will fund his health program. 

There must be some group or groups of people with enough clout to stop our runaway government. The government leaders must be held accountable for their major blunders the last two years; Pelosi, Frank, Dodd and Reid need to be replaced immediately.     

Now we’ve placed our country in the hands of a man without a past, no track record as a leader and absolutely no experience in foreign affairs. The only conclusion that can be drawn from the mess we’re in is this – the Presidential campaign was all about race!  

How sad to say everything’s okay now, because America has finally elected an African American President – does this mean racism has been put to sleep.   Mr. Obama played the “race card” and now he’s run plumb out of cards.

One Nation

Here's a chapter out of my little book that discusses the news media, special interest groups and our government.  Ronald Reagan once said, "'If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.'


We didn't arrive here yesterday, nor was it just the past 8 years that placed our Nation on a shaky foundation - it has been a slow erosion for many, many years caused by the meddlers (special interest groups & lobbyists), the peddlers (news media) and the gov that has created a shaky economy. 

We've plodded through the many changes over the past 60 plus years and after pointing fingers at the meddlers, peddlers and gov – it’s time to make the necessary changes to restore the once strong foundation.

I only included meddlers, peddlers & gov because they are a part of our history in the USA.  They have been responsible for shaping much of our Nation!  Do I have a bunch of answers, cures or band aids to offer parents, grandparents and concerned citizens?

Not really, but looking back in history it is apparent that our ancestors came from all walks of life and yet they unanimously agreed on two thins: (1) The solid foundation for America must be “One Nation Under God, and (2) Liberty and justice for all would be the cement that would keep the United States alive and well.

As we look back over the past 60 plus years, it’s important to realize that nothing was really broken and we didn’t ask anyone to fix it, but “they” did.  So now we’re faced with a weak government, too many special interest groups with their fingers in our pot, and once again parents are being controlled – no in control.

Parents and grandparents have been left with a mess, that’s for sure and we have to assume some responsibility for creating the mess.  Each one of us as individuals can make the conscious decision that we want our country back on it’s once strong foundation – with “God” guiding us all things are possible.

Yep, we can even move mountains!  “Decisions” should be determined by what is in the best interest for families and children.  Our children should always be our priority and we need prayer in the schools, the Ten Commandments visible for all (they’re really a roadmap for men, women and children.)

Remember, we’re not going to make anyone pray, nor will they be forced to read the Ten Commandments, but the flipside is this - prayer, the Ten Commandments and One Nation Under God is the legacy left to us by a forefathers.

No man, woman or child has a right to tamper with this legacy!  Discipline must be returned to parents, schools and all of our society.  Immorality should be addressed as a Nation and our leaders must be honest, men and women who realize that it’s not about them, but about our children and country…

“They” can continue tooting the same old horn and playing the same old tune about keeping religion and politics separate. So keep them separate, but don’t meddle with our beautiful America that thrived and prospered for years as “One Nation Under God.”

It’s a tried and true concept that works for all – and frankly for those who don’t like the concept, it’s probably time for them to take a hike, go out to sea or find another country.

We need to take care of our troops, their families and let them know daily how proud we are of them and their patriotism. You better believe they’re in Iraq because they want us to be safe!

These are the young men and women who can and will help us restore our country; they will give others outside of our country a chance to experience a better life.  

In closing, some very dangerous red flags are showing their evil eyes in our Nation.  Self-centered, prideful, pleasure seeking and materialistic nation become divided and eventually crumble.  Pride goes before destruction and haughtiness before a fall. Proverbs 16:18

History shows that nations without codes of conduct or real human values become extinct.  The Roman Empire, the Soviet Union and other Nations fell due to a decline in morals, values and a corrupt group of leaders kindled by inflation. The wealthy citizens of Rome were prideful, materialistic and pretty much what I call pleasure seekers!

Here is a letter to ponder from Charles Carroll to James McHenry, written around November 4th, 1800. What this letter discusses isn’t news, but its reliable information you can take to the bank.

Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion whose morality is so sublime and pure…are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments.” Bernard C. Steiner, “The Life and Correspondence of James McHenry,” (Cleveland: The Burrows Brothers, 1907). P.475 “God Bless Each and Everyone”    http://www.youranie.com 

As Always, Annie

PS   It’s time America to gets back to the basics of love and restore our country as “One Nation Under God With Liberty and Justice for All."  It really boils down to the hard raw basics – it’s not about you and it darn sure isn’t about me;  it’s about our children and their children.

No Resume - No Vetting - No Good

 

Resume is a document that describes an applicant’s experience and skills along with an educational background.  A person’s background or past is crucial – you don’t hire a rapist or ex con to run a reputable business.    Resumes are very important tools for employee and employers. 

Those who work for us in the government are our employees – we’re supposed to be their employer. We (Americans) not only deserve, but need to know all pertinent information regarding our federal representatives.   We must know the character, reputation and background of those representing us!

Like I’ve mentioned many times during the presidential campaign, if only Hillary Clinton would step forward and speak to all of America and by golly she did just minutes after Obama won the election. Hillary realizes from past experience with this man that our country needs more than a smooth talking lawyer – we need real leadership.   Why didn’t the Democratic Camp vet this man or even look at a resume or CV.  

When a large company like Chase, Kodak, Koch Industries or Ernst and Young hire a COO or CEO for their company; the first thing required is a cover letter including a resume. Why a resume, because that gives them some vital facts about this person. 

After they choose several candidates for this position, they have several more face to face interviews.  Do you think any reputable well established company would hire a leader without a background check, an employment history or a proven track record – absolutely not?  

The resume gives a snap shot of this person that tells them about the applicant’s work history showing former employment (who they’ve worked for) – how long they were employed with the company, salaries and lists accomplishments and position held while in the employment of the company. 

Duties – this is very important and a good resume includes in detail thie person’s responsibilities and capabilities.  It will mention the number of employees under their supervision and describes their abilities as a supervisor or executive manager. It includes any extra schooling, achievements and promotions received and defines their leadership qualifications. So what happened to Mr. Obama’s resume – why has he insisted on hiding it from us?

He forgot his resume – a man without a past, no employment history and consequently nothing to verify his leadership ability, his experience in foreign affairs.   His speeches are political rhetoric, although eloquent and flowery promising us everything, but the moon. 

Here’s an example of his promises that remain without any substance; they’re just idle words. How many times were we told that 95% of us would receive a tax break or even a 1000 or 1200 dollar check? 40% plus Americans do not pay taxes!!!  He promises to tax the wealthy, only – America you’re in for a big shock if you think that’s a viable solution.

His 60 billion dollar economic stimulus plan – hey people did you just forget that we’ve already committed ourselves for the big 700 billion plus Bail Out.” Just where does anyone think the money for this economic revitalization will come from – did you just raise your hand or did you stick your foot in your mouth?  Unless some American’s have an “inside scoop” that no one else knows about, we’re in deep trouble.

Don’t buy into the tax the rich verb age that Mr. Obama is using. Tax the larger companies all you want to because they aren’t the ones who pay the tax increase – we do. Just go study Reagonomics and you’ll understand why the last thing in the world we need at this time is to raise anyone’s taxes. 

The investors don’t have to leave their money in the US – there are many, many other countries that would love their money.    When businesses are taxed, they just increase the cost of service or product, so guess who pays the piper?  Stop our country from bleeding anymore – dig in your heels, yell, scream, get mad and then do something about it!

We need a freeze on our “Bail Out” money until they get the top world economists in as advisors – Pelosi, Frank, Reid and Dodd don’t have a clue what to do with our money! You can bet that before the New Year arrives, they will spend every dime!   Read what the top economists say about the misuse of our “Bail Out” money. 

Contact CNN, FOX, ABC, NBC and all other news stations – insist that they help us get Obama’s resume. We must know where he’s been the past 20 years, who he’s worked for and where all our money from his many government grants went – it’s my believe that it went to many fake organizations and then was funneled on down to Acorn, The Weathermen and other radical organizations.  Hope I’m wrong, but logic says that I’m not…

Don’t settle for anymore Obama sidesteps – he already is in it up to his elbows because he wants us to believe he is just a next door neighbor of Rezko (wrong.) He sat with Wright his mentor and confidant for 20 years, but he didn’t listen to what Mr. Wright was saying (Wrong.) Sort of remembers serving on the Wood org. with Ayers (who’s kidding who?) Doesn’t remember what happened to his records in the Illinois Senate (thinks he may have thrown them away or shredded them.)  Didn’t have time to lead our country during his US Senate interim – that in itself should be your answer.

Just get online and see the fits he’s giving FEC – his campaign funds are so messed up, many millions came from outside our US and the FEC know that a lot of donations were from dummies like doodad and Mr. Goodwill etc..

Yes, we need to insist on the truth about his citizenship, his land deal with Rezko and his various associations with notorious radicals. It’s most important to get this started before Obama is sworn into office. As American citizens we have the “right to know” all of the above before we finish our final interview with Mr. Obama. Don’t even raise your hand and say there’s nothing we can do – what done can be and should be undone!

Please parents, grandparents and young people, stand up and let Washington hear your voice. Call your US government 1-800-333-4636; send an email to all the elected officials including your governor, President, Representatives, Senators and state legislatures. 

Go to USA.gov for the email addresses. Shoot an email to this lady – she still has time to help us out of this mess:    clinton.senate.gov/contact   

Get President Bush involved – he owes us one!    comments@whitehouse.gov

Stand up for your country, your children and your freedom – don’t sit back, shrug your shoulders and become complacent once again.

A Dark Day In History - President Obama

 

Many, many Americans sold their country, children and grandchildren for pennies on the dollar. They put a price on their heads! Never in our Nation’s history have we allowed so many things to be swept under the rug. Americans have allowed CNN and other liberal news media to elect their president. 

What were you thinking or were you thinking when President Obama’s past was not disclosed. Character is the man and not one of you knows anything about the man. None of us know if he’s a citizen of our country, what his real past is or where he’s been hiding for 20 years. But, there’s one thing for sure as the story unravels and it will unravel, you will learn the truth.

Americans have been sold down the river by one of the most powerful groups of people in our United States (radicals) and we’re too busy to do our homework. Hillary Clinton was taken down by this group of people and suppressed – she knows the truth and why she didn’t step forward an expose President Obama is beyond me. 

My prayer for America this morning is for the ones who will suffer from this new regime – our military, our children, the middleclass, and the investors who keep our country vibrant. I pray that John McCain and Sarah Palin will once again stand up for our country and fight for all of us.

Before President Obama takes the oath in January, here’s a need to know list that must be completed.

  1. Total exposure by the FEC on his campaign monies
  2. Names of his community organizations that he so willingly handed out tax payers money via grants, contractors etc…
  3. Total disclosure on the purchase of his home – the sale and purchase information is vital at this time. 
  4. Expose all Democrats involved in the Freddie and Fannie ruckus and let them serve their time behind bars.
  5. Freeze the remaining money for the bail out until a group of the world’s top economists are selected to direct the use of our money – expose the reasons that the bailout money was necessary to the American people.
  6. Americans must know each bill presented by President Obama, including the earmarks before it is passed – we need a voice in all government operations at this time.
  7. Investigation into Pelosi, Dodd, Barney Frank and Reid’s activities regarding our monies spent before and after the bailout – they need to go!

The news media was a major player in the Presidential Campaign and now they should help get us out of this mess before any new business is initiated in the White House. They stepped out of the arena of “journalism” and became an evil political machine – every man and woman who has been a part of this “cover up” should not just be reprimanded, but fired. There are many Americans like myself who do place country first at all times – we’ve been the first to open our arms to all races, all nationalities and help them realize the “American Dream.” But, this Presidential Election has been one of the most disgraceful, ugly events in all of our history.

“May God Bless America.”

Knowledge Equal Power

 

“Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governor must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.” James Madison

So Americans take time out before the Presidential Election and arm yourself with knowledge, if you in fact want to once again become “The Voice of America.” 

Here are some interesting little tidbits that you can check out for yourselves – don’t take my word for anything. Do some soul searching and decide if this man has the qualifications to lead your country and keep your children safe.

Iraqi’s foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari has shared some interesting news – Obama sneaked behind our country’s back and tried to do a lot of politicking according to Mr. Zebari.   Mr. Zebari makes no pretense about Obama’s indiscretions when discussing withdrawing US  forces from Iraq.  

Obama has repeatedly done his attorney two step when trying to explain what he said and what he did last July 2008 when meeting with the Iraqi’s.   All of the Iraqis recall exactly what he said and in their eyes, he’s one more person they must worry about during their struggle for Democracy.

What’s that he said about Reverend Wright, his mentor, closest friend and colleague for 20 years - its better not to repeat it, but it sure wasn’t a compliment. When Obama realized that his close association with Reverend Wright was hurting his public image – Obama dumped Wright. 

Ayers, oh yes everyone know the comment that Obama made about vaguely knowing him when he was but a wee boy – funny how he forgets who started him on his Presidential Race. Think Ayers had a little tea party and “get to know” my boy Obama coming out party. But, then Obama’s not famous for remembering things like that… Barack forgot to mention that he and Ayers served on two different boards together: (1) One founded by Walter Annenberg, and (2) The Woods Foundation.

What about his fake “Birth Certificate” – why didn’t the Democrats vet him before they nominated him? Now they don’t know what to do about their man, Obama and they’re not even sure what his real name is or his age, let alone his whereabouts for the past 20 some years. That’s the Democrats for you – never thinking before they jump! 

Who does Obama think he’s kidding when he went from Columbia University with a low “C” average and miraculously ended up in Harvard. Go figure – some money passed hands to get that feat accomplished.

What about Rezko, the one Obama describes as living somewhere in his neighborhood – they played “tootsie” in a couple of land deals, and after passing some big bucks from hand to hand, Barack arranged an internship for John Aramanda, son of one of Rezko’s business partners.   But, that was just a thank you for some of the money that was swirling around like snowflakes.

In his first race for public office (the Illinois Senate) he just did his little “Attorney Shuffle” applied a full-nelson by applying “Chicago” rules and ran his three opponents plumb out of town. One of these opponents was Alice Palmer (longtime Chicago Activist and Obama friend.) But, as Obama would say, “All is fair in love and war.” 

He sideswiped Hillary over the seating of Florida and Michigan delegation at the August Convention – the DNC was between a rock and hard place, but Obama did his attorney thing and Hillary was the one who got spanked.

There’s a picture that’s just been painted for you – like the Mona Lisa, it’s not what it appears to be on the surface. Look again and you’ll see a man who has been groomed, mentored by the best radicals and special interest groups in our Nation – they have planned every step of this man’s life starting with the Harvard Review and coming forward to October 29, 2008. 

Barack Hussein Obama has a past, a very poor record in the Illinois Senate and the US Senate. His business partners and associates have been Radicals, the Chicago gang and special interest groups. Obama doesn’t place his country first, nor does he care about the middleclass, the seniors, the small businesses or infants.  

Obama believes in redistribution, government control and spreading the wealth and if you’ve been listening closely and doing your homework you know this editorial is not biased, not propaganda and has nothing to do with ethnicity.   We’re talking about a man’s character, reputation and morals. 

“May God Bless America.”

Obama Philosophy - Socialism 101

 

First there was Frank, Bill, Jeremiah, Bernadine, Alice and then came Obama – the spitting image of Frank. Oops, at least the ears are the same!   Frank was the guy that took little Obama by the hand and started the brain wash job during Barack’s teenage years.   “In Dreams of My Father.” Obama tells the world that Frank was the strong influence and the man who helped Obama find his lost identity. 

Frank and friends had lived in Chicago for some 20 plus years and knew it was ripe for a young Obama to move in and start his “Chess game.” Ripe, because Chicago was notorious for its violence and corruption – all Obama needed to do was light the flame and keep agitating the people until a bon fire erupted. 

Chicago was where Obama went from a toddler wrapped in liberalistic paraphernalia to a marathon runner equipped with tools of the extreme liberalist and radicals. Frank, Ayers and Wright, along with a few women served as Obama’s mentors and prepared their student well – Obama jumped into community activities, analyzed the hot spots of the various communities and strategically started the fires. 

Obama didn’t exactly lead anyone or anything, but he mastered the art of using tax payer’s money to fund his radical channels.   If there’s one thing this man can do adeptly, its raising tons of money, note I didn’t say honest money – I just said money.

Stage left, in comes Mayor Harold Washington and his communist buddies who helped Obama makes his way to the Illinois Senate. Washington was pretty much a “shoo in” when he ran for the office of mayor, because his campaign was backed by the Unions, many churches and special interest groups and getting Obama into the Illinois Senate was a pretty easy task for Washington and his Chicago gang. 

Remember, truth is not relevant literally non-existent during the radical’s feeding frenzy on the less fortunate. Knowing how to control the masses is the secret – Obama knows that power comes from convincing those who “have not” that they can take power away from those who “have.”  

So Obama’s job during this Presidential Race is to fuel the fire, create discontent, anger and confusion in the “have nots.”  The “have nots” are much like a flock of geese and their only job is to follow the leader.  Obama keeps the “have nots” hungry, wanting more, dreaming of what may be and he constantly changes the game plan or tactics so the troops don’t experience boredom. 

 The Obama philosophy is “power in numbers,” never letting the right hand know what the left is doing and tearing down the opponent’s defense.  He loves to hit below the belt as we saw with Governor Sarah Palin and Biden was chosen over Hillary for one reason only. Obama couldn’t control Hillary and frankly was afraid of her, but Biden was somewhat like the stray out on the streets that would sit up and bark or shake hands for a few pats and a pot full of earmarks.  

Now, Senator Obama with the help of Acorn, Project Vote and all his “pet” radical groups are showing Americans their uncanny control over our voting system. The officials at the polls are overwhelmed, over worked and totally confused, which is exactly what Obama and friends have counted on with their devious tactics. Obama plays stupid and Acorn just laughs all the way to the bank with their $ 800,000 dollars. 

So America if you want an honest man, a real leader and one who places country first and foremost on his agenda – vote for senator McCain. If you want a deceitful, smooth talking attorney with lots of money who places radicals first, poor next and completely ignores the “middle class,” then Obama’s your man.

By the way, if you’re interested in Frank – just start surfing for Frank Marshall Davis: he was a great friend of Obama’s grandfather and a mentor to Barack Obama.  

See you later @ http://www.yourannie.com
