Our Troops or Presidency

Why would President Obama turn down General Stanley McCrystal’s request for more troops? One must first understand that his political ambitions factor into all decisions that he makes!

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.

Obama Our President?

 

Did President Obama win the election on qualifications, on character, foreign policy, political expertise or did he just flat buy the Presidential position.   For whatever reasons, Obama is our President and we’re at the mercy of him and his Democratic team. 

Our money for bailouts alone is astronomical and our economy is regressing literally by the hour. The idle promises made during his presidential campaign were just that, “idle promises.” The stimulus plan isn’t working and yet the Democrats keep whispering something about a second stimulus plan. 

Obama steps forward now and says he’s going to own the economic problems. Well pardon me, but we thought he did own them the day he was sworn in… Blaming the Bush administration is a cop out and isn’t going to hold water anymore.   We’re tired of broken promises and the “what may happen” somewhere down in the land of Nod; we want food on our table, jobs and homes for our children.

Our biggest concerns at this time: (1) Where is the stimulus money going, (2) Why are millions of people losing their jobs, (3) Didn’t President Obama say that this was our money and we’d know where every dime was going?

First things first Obama, please clean up the Whitehouse and remove all of the excess political baggage and crap. Nancy, Dodd and Reid never have been team players – so remove them one by one.   Ruthlessly downsize our government, remove redundant programs and get rid of the pork barrel and all excess baggage.  

Big government isn’t the answer for the majority of us aren’t into socialism. Give the people their voice back. Restore our Nation to its once strong foundation by creating jobs, insisting that those who are able to work start paying taxes. 

Quit playing God and quit trying to distribute our monies. Americans are compassionate and the first to step forward and help those who are really in need.  Get the 30% who are sitting on their fannies doing nothing off their seat and on their feet; let them start contributing to our Nation.   A small percentage of Americans are truly unable to work - we want to care for them because we’re our “brothers' keeper.”

Most of all quit playing “Politics” and do what is right for America! No more bailouts, as you can see the lending institutions that you’ve helped are leeches and had no intention of helping homeowner and citizens of the US. 

Stand toe to toe with those who are blatantly misusing our monies, the Pelosi’s, the Reids, the Dodds and your backyard buddies.   Become the man God wanted you to be and restore our country.   No more grants to your idle friends and no more deals with the bad guys. 

President Obama you took an oath, "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." At this time, you have the ability but not the desire to fulfill this oath.

There are only two choices left; (1) Remove yourself from the political vices that have embraced you or, (2) Blatantly continue on the destructive course that you’ve chosen for our Nation and you will soon be relegated to the ancient history shelf as the worst Presidential leader of all times. 

In closing, Mr. President go back and revisit Thomas Jefferson and embrace every word that he said.

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." Thomas Jefferson

"It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world." Thomas Jefferson

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." Thomas Jefferson

"My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government." Thomas Jefferson

So You're in the 95% Tax Break Group

 

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.

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. Your new leaders are going to tell you that their new economic recovery plan will take care of our recession; if you’re in the 18 to 25  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 or 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.  

Say your next door neighbor owns auto dealership and of course you’re sitting there thinking that he will be the one to pay higher taxes and spread the wealth. Nope, gotcha again – he’ll have to raise the price of his product, which means the consumer will be the one paying for the tax increase.

Let’s think about that, especially the next time you need an automobile. Yep, your neighbor isn’t paying more taxes – its little ole you that will kick in your extra share.                                                                  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! 

Example: Once the “pres” get this tax increase in place, the car manufacturer and car dealership are both hit with higher taxes plus the steel corporations, tire manufacturers etc… So now that little economy car that should cost 17,500 has plummeted to 18,300. Who pays the taxes ladies and gentlemen – not the manufacturer or car dealership?

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.

In fact, once the investors and business making 200,000 or 250,000 are taxed at a higher rate, the trickle down affect kicks into action overnight. You – the consumer will cough up the tax increase for the “pres” and his cabinet and they’ll be laughing all the way to the bank. 

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. It’s true and the rest of the story is true also. The “Pres” and friends have helped themselves to millions and millions of dollars over the past 20 years via government grants and contractors. 

Someone needs to check this out some day, because after the money goes from Hope, to Charity and Faith or whatever it ends up in the hands of the “Radicals.”   Did you really think it was a slip of the pocketbook when 800,000 went from Obama to Acorn?

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

Fox & Townhall Bloggers

A few hours ago, I sent a blog in called A Dark Day in History to Fox, I felt raped by the Obama Gang and was having a "Pitty Party."  I know thats not an answer to our problems, so here is an idea that some of you may be interested in...  Lets set up a website for all concerned citizens that place country first.  Set up a non-profit organization that can go to the White House and stand toe to toe with anyone who is taking our "rights" from us.  If all of us only contributed $ 5.00 a month to our fund, it would grow to unbelievable proportions allowing us to send representatives from the people of the US to Washington.  I will be most happy to work 24/7 on achieving this, if you think it's probable. 
 
There are many retired professionals out there who could speak for us and keep us united - we need to know before any bill is passed, all new government programs implemented, how to stop the bleeding from the government grants etc. that President Obama and gang are using as we speak.  We need to unite as one, regardless of party - no one on our watch should allow Nancy and Barney or President Obama to continue their hatchet party.  There has to be a way to stop all of this in a civilized manner!
 
At 68 years of age, I'm still a believer in honesty, trust, reliability and responsibility - that character is the person.  So give me a shout and lets get going on something positive today - I'm over my rush of feeling helpless and whipped!  Last night when I watched the polls, I realized there are thousands out in Americaland who believe in their country.  They can't be purchased for pennies on the dollar and they are ready to stand up for America. 
 
So before I get all gushy over my latest soapbox blog - I'm signing off

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.”

As Always, Annie
