Obama's America

Der Spiegel

I found this in the English version of Der Spiegel and it's a great illustration of Obama's America, one that he the Democrat have run into the ground with their spending policies and excessive out of control regulations. Yet this buffoon keeps blaming President George W. Bush for America’s problems.

Der Spiegel ---- The United States remains mired in an economic crisis. The country that has managed to reinvent itself so many times is struggling. Three years after the collapse of the investment bank Lehman Brothers, unemployment remains high; the official rate is 9 percent, but the unofficial one is 16 percent. Growth is crawling along at less than 2 percent, and the country's debt burden is swelling by $4.38 billion a day. Many cities are so broke that roads and bridges are in disrepair, and some areas of America already resemble a Third World country.

Obama golf swing.

That is an ugly golf swing. You would think with all of the Golf Barry has been playing he would have a better golf swing than this. That's brutal.

It's our fault again

Yawn! This is a bad dream that never seems to end. Here is the never ending apology tour from the citizen of the World. Of course in Barry O's world it's always our fault. Give it a rest Barry... I wonder if he bowed to Mexican President Felipe Calderon as well?

Ex-Obama Pastor: 'Obama Threw Me Under the Bus'

I find this article to be interesting, Barack Obama sat in this man's church for 20 years and when he was no longer advantageous to Obama he threw him under the bus. Obama throws a lot of people under the bus. It looks like Wrong Reverend Wright is on a long growing list of people that are no longer useful for the Obama administration.

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama's controversial former pastor, said in a letter obtained by The Associated Press that he is "toxic" to the Obama administration and that the president "threw me under the bus."

In his strongest language to date about the administration's 2-year-old rift with the Chicago pastor, Wright told a group raising money for African relief that his pleas to release frozen funds for use in earthquake-ravaged Haiti would likely be ignored.

"No one in the Obama administration will respond to me, listen to me, talk to me or read anything that I write to them. I am 'toxic' in terms of the Obama administration," Wright wrote the president of Africa 6000 International earlier this year.

"I am 'radioactive,' Sir. When Obama threw me under the bus, he threw me under the bus literally!" he wrote. "Any advice that I offer is going to be taken as something to be avoided. Please understand that!"

The White House didn't respond to requests for comment Monday about Wright's remarks. Several phone messages left by the AP for Wright at the Trinity United Church of Christ, where he is listed as a pastor emeritus, were not returned. Wright's spokeswoman, his daughter Jeri Wright, did not immediately comment on the substance of the letter.

Then-Sen. Obama cut ties with Wright when his more incendiary remarks became an Internet sensation in the spring of 2008. At a National Press Club appearance in April 2008, he claimed the U.S. government could plant AIDS in the black community, praised Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and suggested Obama was putting his pastor at arm's length for political purposes while privately agreeing with him.

Obama denounced Wright as "divisive and destructive" and later cut ties to the pastor altogether and left Wright's church. [read the whole article]

The arrogance of this man is unbelievable. Yep, you doing a hell of a job Barry.

Rebutal to: Generals Need to Shut Up and Salute

First off we cannot afford to lose the battle in Afghanistan, its imperative that we fight this battle with all we got and complete the mission and win the war in Afghanistan. If the United States abandoned Afghanistan or fight this war with half measures and half steps or don’t come up with a winning plan we will look like a bunch of losers. So maybe Eugene Robinson should shut the hell up because the OBAMA administration is doing a horrible job prosecuting this war. I think I am going to trust the Generals over an administration that lacks military experience or even a working understanding of the military.

In my opinion Defense Secretary Robert Gates is inept and part of the problem, I don’t know what the heck his problem is maybe he should start listening the generals on the ground and devising a plan that will secure the peace in Afghanistan. If the generals on the ground want more troops then they need more troops. Time to give the general on the ground what they need to be successful.

This week too many US service men have died and I blame this current administration who is incompetent and lacks the ability to come up with a coherent plan to do anything and owns this mess we have now. It’s time to stop blaming Bush and do your job, let’s fight this war to win then get the hell out. It would appear that it’s time for a General David Petraeus surge.

How to proceed in Afghanistan will be among the most difficult and fateful decisions that President Obama ever makes. But he's the one who has to decide, not his generals. The men with the stars on their shoulders -- and I say this with enormous respect for their patriotism and service -- need to shut up and salute.

Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, is entitled to his opinion about the best way forward. But he has no business conducting a public campaign to build support for his preferred option, which is to send tens of thousands more troops into a country once called the "graveyard of empires."

McChrystal's view -- that a strategy employing fewer resources, in pursuit of more limited goals, would be "short-sighted" -- is something the White House needs to hear. He is, after all, the man Obama put in charge in Afghanistan, and it would be absurd not to take his analysis of the situation into account. But McChrystal is out of line in trying to sell his position publicly, as he did last week in a speech in London.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates was right to lay down the law. Gates said Monday that it is "imperative" that military and civilian leaders "provide our best advice to the president candidly but privately." I believe that's Pentagon-speak for: "Put a sock in it, Stan." [Real Clear Politics]

More Pictures to make you laugh.

I keep getting these pictures in my email and I thought I would blog them.

Is anyone brave enough to send this to our democrat friends?

Stunning list of achievements

If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics,
would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and
incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful
and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos
of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic
and tacky?

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have
approved?

If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the
non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor
slip?

If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with
people who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes, would you
have approved?

If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de
Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the fourth of May
(Cuatro de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you
have winced in embarrassment?

If George W. Bush had mis-spelled the word "advice" would you have
hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as proof of what
a dunce he is?

If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a
single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?

If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low
over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown
Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they
actually get what happened on 9-11?

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter
installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have
laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is
really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George W Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout
the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans,
would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of
racism and incompetence?

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major
corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so,
would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had
taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have
approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again 10 times
within years, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock
by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have
approved?

If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura
Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and
impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 5
months -- so you'll have three years and seven months to come up with an
answer.
