The rule of thumb for Obama is to choose the path that will insure his presidency and lock in his bid for the 2012 elections; he knows the Democrats are about to jump of the Obama train if he continues the war in Afghanistan. He has angered the Republican Party and many Americans as he blatantly allows our loved ones to be maimed, killed and stranded.

Obama has a boatload of problems at this time and doesn’t have many options left.   No one really loves Obama at this time including the Democrats, Republicans and Americans. Our tolerance and patience have worn thin; we don’t want another Viet Nam scenario!  

The reckless spending of American’s money during this present administration is yet another red flag for Obama; he’s working with limited funds. His apparent “strategy” as he would say is to straddle the fence. Straddling the fence is a way of life for Mr. Obama!

The Obama administration is committing an unforgiveable sin leaving our loved ones stranded without reinforcements. This situation is so much like his interim in the Senate, he’s basically telling Americans “I’m Present.” 

 Mr. Obama ist a politician and has proven to be an awesome adversary when it comes to the game of politics. Obama loves chess and surrounds himself with pawns – such was the plight of General McCrystal. 

So for whatever reasons, he chose General Stanley McChrystal to man the war in Afghanistan. General McChrystal is a disciplined officer, a leader and the shepherd of our brave men and women fighting for our freedom. He was given the awesome responsibility of insuring the welfare of our troops, but Obama turned a deaf ear.

 General McCrystal knew we were slipping in our fight and needed more reinforcement.   August and Jul y were two of the deadliest months in Afghanistan for all Western troops. In October 2009, 55 brave men and women lost their lives – the highest number of deaths since the war began was in 2009. What must General Stanley McChrystal, our troops and Americans think of our present administration? 

This is what happened when General McChrystal tried to present his force recommendation to the Obama administration, (1) Mr. Obama stated that he in fact was a “skeptical audience” about sending more troops, (2) Mr. McChrystal was asked to put his request on hold for the time being, and (3) Mr. Obama said he needed time to devise a strategy.  

The Obama administration thumbed their nose at our General, our troops and sent a dangerous signal of weakness to militant Islam. They told General Stanley McChrystal to get lost until his name was called and White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs told America that Mr. Obama wouldn’t rush. 

General McChrystal, our troops and all Americans have been let down, while Obama ,  Pelosi and gang play politics at the White House. 

Meanwhile our men and women in Afghanistan are daily meeting death head on, without America’s support. The Obama team is playing around with a stimulus package, Cash for Clunkers, fancy parties, exotic vacations and a health reform bill leaving our men and women at the mercy of the terrorists.

What do our troops get while Obama plays his political chess game - nothing, but a few apologies and condolences to families who have lost their loves ones. May God Bless America our brave men and women who fight for our freedom. 

Altho the "Cash for Clunkers" is making headlines and the news media is having a hayday oohing and ahing about the economic benefits, this is another ridiculous Democratic ploy headed for the pits!  This Obama creation "Cash for Clunkers" is only another feeble last fling to distract Americans, economists and Republican leaders. 

What is happening at this time is a parallel to the Freddy and Fannie mess that the Democrats created when they instructed lending institutions to lend money for homes to those with bad credit, no credit and no jobs. 

Who is actually benefiting from this ridiculous farce?  The automobile manufacturers probably would be first in line to raise their hands, some of them are elated and consider this icing on the cake after the bailout monies they've received.  The new car owner might come in second, but he or she may find that in the not too distant future they have been the victims of another government scam. 

Questions to ponder: (1) How many of the people utilizing the "Cash for Clunkers" program have the credit and job security to warrant purchasing a new car, (2) Why are we throwing more monies to the auto manufacturers, and (3) Who is really paying for this "Cash for Clunkers" program.  After you answered the above questions, you may just feel like throwing up....

The Democrats have blind sided us once again; we're the victims and our pocketbooks are dwindling.  It would behoove all of America to demand an accounting of monies spent thus far from the Obama economic recovery plan and lastly we need to see the original economic package and then make a decision if we in fact want to proceed with a bill that is laden with pork barrel requests and promises. 

As Always, Annie

Just asking this question, because since I know there’s over 40 % of our American population that doesn’t pay taxes, it remains a mystery to me just who the 95% is that President Obama keeps talking about that’s going to get this awesome tax break he’s promised in all of his campaign speeches.  What about this fabulous economic stimulus plan Mr. Obama keeps talking about?  Where is the money coming from and what about his promises to punish those who misused our money?  It's your move Mr. Obama, start by lowering taxes for the Corporate World, ruthlessly downsize the government, get rid of the earmarks and get some controls on these Government Grants that you and friends keep using for your community projects.

The government (Republicans and Democrats) just keep donating our good money to the bad guys – we can’t buy our way out of the mess we’re in…   We need to stop the bleeding now before it’s too late – think about your children and their children; it is criminal to allow our government to abuse us in this manner. 

Our first donation wasn’t spent for homeowners – nope it was spent on failed lending institutions to help them pay their delinquent bills and do a little investing. 

Now the next thing we’d better brace for is the Obama Economic Recovery package – he’s already softening us up for a blow of our lifetime by saying he’s just not sure how much it may cost us. Why should this be costing us anything??????

This, along with several other critical issues are just the beginning of red flags, Americans.   What Mr. Obama lacks in leadership ability and foreign affairs is already starting to raise it’s ugly head and he hasn’t even gone through the inauguration ceremonies. 

Ladies and gentlemen, you’ve just been conned by a con-man. Stupid, President Obama isn’t – many Americans have just been sucked into the vicious world of socialism. Right in front of our eyes, we’re about to see our government, which is already oversized growing and growing. 

Your new leaders told you that their new economic recovery plan will take care of our recession; if you’re in the 18 to 25 year old group you may fall for that malarkey. 

Many of us who are parents and grandparents know exactly what will happen – we’ll have to work harder, many work extra hours or get second jobs and ruthlessly cut our family budget. We, the people, will be the ones to pay for and back this economic recovery plan.

Sounds like lots of you want the “rich” people as President Obama says to get the tax gouge – now that in its self is a little more than interesting. The middleclass and poor will be the last ones on the “totem pole” and you got it – we’ll be paying for the tax increase that the “pres” has in store for investors and the businesses.

Here’s exactly what will happen and our new “pres” knows how it works, but remember he’s into Socialism and he’s spreading the wealth! In fact he’s about to spread the wealth while increasing the size of our government – we’re not supposed to be working for the government!

Example: Once the “pres” get this tax increase in place consumers will be the ones taking the beating, especially the middle class. So someone out there better speak up for Americans, because the Democrats are leading us to the slaughter of our lifetime – bail out needs to stop, like yesterday, our money is not in safe hands in case you haven’t noticed. 

700 billion bail out just jumped to 2.8 trillion and I believe Americans will be responsible for 7 trillion plus if someone doesn’t stop this runaway government. Bottom line is “they” meaning our government representatives don’t know what to do so as a last resort, they decide to chase their tails by spending more of our money. 

It appears the middleclass are getting all excited thinking they’re one of the 95% getting a tax break. The class right under the middleclass are ecstatic too, but they’re about to be gouged one more time, hope they don’t spend their 1,000 or 1200 dollar tax credit, because it’s done been gobbled up way before it reaches their back door.

Just remember if it sounds too good to be true – then it probably isn’t true. Welcome to the new world of “socialism.”  

Americans shut their ears when they heard about the 800,000 dollar donation from President Elect Obama to Acorn to buy him some votes. It’s true and the rest of the story is true also. The “Pres” and friends as we speak are out buying votes in Georgia with his sophisticated questionable “get out the vote machine.”

I say – no more bail outs, ruthlessly downsize the government, get some honest knowledgeable people who places country first, create jobs, disallow all of the earmarks sneaked thru in the first part of our bail out money and get a qualified leader to help us through this mess. A man with no past, no track record and no real employment history isn’t exactly what I call qualified. 

You’re right, I am more than a little mad that the liberal news media, illegal campaign contributions and an obscene amount of money elected our new President. Unlike what Barack and Michelle Obama have insinuated, this election wasn’t about race, color, creed or any of the above…

A man that could walk away from such devious campaign tactics smiling isn’t a leader but a control Geek who’s totally out of control. Any man with such a messianic sense of self and his intense desire to degrade all who voice a different opinion can’t qualify for a world leader in anyone’s book. 

Here’s a newsflash for Americans, God is still alive and well and no, Mr. Obama isn’t the anointed one because he’s anti white, anti business and anti freedom of speech and his anti list just keeps growing and growing. 

America needed a man or women with a good track record, expertise in foreign affairs and someone who could lead our country in the right direction during this economic fiasco that our dear Democrats ignited during their incompetent reign.  

Hey, American this isn’t a game, a college debate or fashion show – “May God Bless Each and Everyone of You” who have lost your jobs, homes and hope. 

This is just the tip of the “iceberg” – many more of us will follow you shortly if Americans don’t regain their voice and restore our Nation to its once strong foundation. 

“May God Bless America.”   See you @ http://www.yourannie.com

As Always Annie

Our last few weeks of the Presidential campaign have gone to pot in a hand basket. John and Sarah need to provide America with a “recovery plan” not a bunch of political promises. America needs to know literally on a daily basis how the “Bail Out” money is being spent, meaning names of the lending institutions and businesses that are receiving the hand out, how much they received, when our loan will be placed back into government hands. 

Wonder if these “bad guys” are going to pay us back and if so what is the interest rate they are charged for the loans?   Hopefully, these hand outs aren’t free and out of the “Goodness of Our Heart,” because in case Washington didn’t know – we don’t feel charitable or good about having our pocketbooks stripped once again by Democrats and/or Republicans. 

It’s apparent that we’re at the mercy of the “Upper Echelon” and we don’t trust anyone at this time. Keeping us in the dark and giving us a bunch of “he said – she said” leads us to believe that there’s something to hide!  

The government is playing Obama games – hiding the truth, hiding their associations (close friends and buddies), jumping from one side of the fence to the other, playing “King of the Mountain” with the hopes we’re too busy keeping our bodies afloat to notice what they’re doing on a daily basis. 

Like I’ve been mentioning about Mr. Obama – character will be the deciding factor for the Presidential Election. We need to know a man’s history, track record and personal attributes – honesty, integrity, leadership ability are just a few of the things America must know before a President is chosen.

It is apparent that our government’s character has gone south – its track record stinks and it won’t get raving reviews when it comes to integrity, honesty and awesome leadership ability. Like Senator Obama disguise for the past 20 years – we don’t know who our government is, what it stands for and who’s in charge.  

It’s America’s right to know how we really got into this economic mess – it certainly can’t be placed on Bush’s shoulders alone!  Here’s a news flash from a grandmother of 68 – those despicable men and or women that has placed America in such a crisis need to serve their remaining days in prison.

From the looks of the Democrats, their control the last few years has been much more evil and illusive than President Bush’s blunders. In fact, it looks like the Democrats allowed the economic crisis to happen, so they would have a "shew in" for President.  

We can surmise that there’s 93 plus Democrats in Washington who are good American citizens who love their country and they aren’t going to lie down and play dead for Pelosi or Obama. Hopefully, those 93 leaders will do what is right for their country and their children.

John McCain can’t rest on his laurels anymore – he must come forward and lay out our economic plan in black and white.   Americans realize now that their buying habits stink and they need to get rid of the plastic, start budgeting and get their house in order. But, we shouldn’t have to manage 2 houses!

Yet, on the other hand we elect Republican and Democrats representatives to keep the government house in order, control spending, budget, control lobbyists and special interest groups and its obvious no one knew what the left hand was doing. Maybe they just didn’t care about parents, grandparents and concerned citizens of the US!

Republicans and Democrats all knew about Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, AIG, the fuel problem and our lousy health insurance to name a few, so quit back biting and have the guts to step forward in a bipartisan fashion and fix the problems. 

If you don’t have real solutions to real problems, just step down and let us get someone who is qualified work for us. Treat your American family like you would your own family – start making wise, honest choices that will place our Nation back on a strong foundation.

Senator McCain has the proven track record, awesome leadership ability and is strong in foreign policy. He loves our country and places our men and women who are fighting to preserve our freedom and keep America safe at the top of his priorities. He’s proven many times that country comes first and he will reach across the table and work in a bi-partisan manner, but he’s left out one very important ingredient to this mix.

 Americans needs more than promises and political rhetoric, we are in a “need to know” mode and everyone is forgetting about us – give us a plan on economy, foreign policy, fuel, health and education.

Take us by the hand John and share a plan step by step with us that will get us out of an economic recession and into a recovery mode. Tell us how the fuel problem will be fixed, when drilling will start – who will stand toe to toe with the “oil companies.”   John, we need more than a kick back of 5,000 to fix the “health crisis” – here’s a program that’s been broken for years and needless to say it’s not working.

Things we need to know:

1.       The master plan of recovery for our economic crisis

2.       Who will your Secretary of Treasury and give us the names of your immediate team.

3.       How will jobs be created for those who have been laid off?

4.       What are the priorities for foreign policy at this time?  What needs to be implemented immediately to address the problems in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Russia and China etc?

5.       How and when will the pork barrel problems be corrected?

6.       Who will be in charge of down -sizing Government programs and eliminating the programs that are redundant and blood suckers?

7.       Who is watching the government leaders spend our “bail out” monies?   Government isn’t a favorite word at the kitchen table anymore and our degree of trust for Washington is exactly a minus 10.

Go on National TV and give us your plan, John. Please give us a better explanation about buying up dead mortgages – as once stated we don’t care much for the “bad boys.” Give us more than a vision with idle promises or band aids;  give us “real solutions for real problems.”  God Bless America...

As Always,

Annie
