The bill was written - was fought against by 26 states. the SOTUS upheld the bill. Forget the technical crap if the bill will be a tax or a penalty.
The bill might have some good parts. But so does eating butter. Butter taste good to many people. But is it good for you?
The the President, the Congress, and the SOTUS- committed a fraud.
Remember two things, the congress can pass any law it wants too, if it has the votes of the Congress. Also it can impose a tax on anyone, it chooses, for any amount.
But we have the final say. Its our vote. Thank GOD for that.
In November 2012 we will elect a President. Vote. Vote like your life depends on it , because it does.
If you elect BO for another four year term - it will take 40 years to straighten out the mess he has created. Its up to you - and me. Please VOTE.

Casey Anthony gets all the focus.......Caylee gets nothing.
Casey Anthony was acquitted of the murder of her daughter this week. 12 jurors say there was not enough evidence to convict her. They feel the State did not prove there was a murder. Maybe not a murder? Then what was there here?
What an outrage.
Some say the system worked. We are judged by our peers. We have the best system in the world. Maybe.
We know this. Caylee Marie Anthony is dead. It took 30 days to report Caylee missing to the police. Casey Anthony found guilty of lying to the police on four counts. By lying, Casey Anthony led police on a wild goose chase. No one convicted, no one going to jail for the crime, no one getting the death penalty. Nothing. Nada. Many people are disappointed with the outcome. Casey Anthony and her lawyers will make a lot of money. Shame on you.
We know this.
There is blood on someone's hands.

Our Government Sucks
Lets call it like it is.
The federal government has gotten too big. Its involved in things where it has no business.
Remember who is to be blamed. The House and the Senate. They make the laws. They write the bills and the amendments - and everyone has to live with them.
They pass the budgets - they appropriate and spend the money. Our money.
Rich elected officials. The Millionaires.
Here is an interesting fact from Political Hotsheet.
"While the base pay for members of Congress is $174,000, nearly half -- 261, to be exact -- are millionaires, according to an analysis of 2009 data from the Center for Responsive Politics (there are 535 total members of the House and Senate). Just 1 percent of Americans overall can say the same."
_________________________________________________________
There are about 1.8 million federal employees. Average salary; $74,000. The private sector earn an average of about $41,000.
The bigger government gets, the more it spends, the harder it is to control.
The bigger government gets, the more it becomes corrupt.
Government has become a business. They are in the business of printing and spending money. They are in the business of giving into lobbyists. They are in the business of giving into unions. They are the business of returning favors. Most are lawyers, or have JD degrees, and should know better.
We have a $14 trillion deficit. An example of one trillion dollars - is spending a million dollars everyday for 2009 years. Think of that. How pathetic. That our elected officials could let things get so far out of control.
Now teachers and government workers think they are getting screwed. Pensions are in trouble - because they were under funded. Who is at fault here? The people who allowed the pensions, kept paying for them, never appropriate the necessary money to fund these pensions.
Unions think they have made sacrifices. Right. Here is an example of how unions have sacrificed.
If a union thinks they need a $2 hour raise, they ask for $4. Then they negotiate, cry and twist - and settle for $3 - and they think this was a sacrifice?
Things to do
We need a balanced budget. Every year.
Shut down Government operations that are duplicate in services and wasteful.
We really only need the department of the Defense, Justice, the Fed, State and VA.
The Department of the Interior, Commerce, Housing, Agriculture, Education, Labor, Energy, and Transportation, all should go. They have nothing to do with government.
If we do not have the money - then you cannot spend the money.
Any bill written cannot be over 200 pages. If a bill needs to be say 400 pages, 200 pages can be voted on, Then the second 200 pages can be voted on.
No one in Congress can vote on a bill unless they have read the bill, and sign a document that they have read the bill.
Revise term limits for members of the House and Senate.
Lay off 5 percent of government workers every year for at least 5 years.

Con Artists Unite
Here we have it. A former President, Bill Clinton, and the present want to be President Obama.
Mr.Clinton was asked to the White House to conduct a news conference and bless BO tax package.
BO left the conference so he could attend a Christmas party. What a man! What guts. What brains. What an embarrassment.
BO is suppose to be the leader of the free world. NO WAY. He is no leader. Just a cheer leader.
Some people think it was a great thing to have Bill Clinton at the WH. They think this shows a leader, in BO.
Wake up. It shows weakness, A true leader, someone who is strong, does not need a former President to bless his plan.
Oh, by the way, I understand. BO plan to extend the Bush tax cuts is loaded with pork, and the libs are going to screw us all with the estate tax proposal. Just another Obama con job.
This WH has learned nothing from the last election. Just spend, and spend more. Print money and print more.

Rangel asks supporters to call Capitol switchboard
Its been a rough two years for Charlie. But remember he created the mess.
Rangel is in trouble, the House Ethics committee recommended censure for financial and fund raising violations — the most serious discipline short of expulsion.
Rep. Charlie Rangel of New York is pleading with supporters to call the Capitol switchboard and urge their representatives to oppose a resolution to censure him.
I may call. And ask them to remove you. When they kick you out, take Nancy Pelosi with you.
Haste la vista .............................Charlie baby

Obama: Stop blaming John Boehner (R-OH)
U.S. House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) speaks during a news conference December 4, 2009 on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. Boehner spoke on the nation's economy and the unemployment situations. (Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images)" /></a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://view.picapp.com//JavaScripts/OTIjs.js"></script>
____________________________________________________________________
Every chance BO gets he blames someone. He has blamed George Bush many times for the economy. BO says the mess was left to him - it was all Bush's fault.
Now, lately Mr. Obama blames John Boehner (R-OH) U.S. House Minority Leader all the time. One speech BO mentioned John Boehner's name eight times. BO thinks Boehner still wants the tax cuts to go to the rich. Enough already.
Obama went to Marth"s Vineyard for a 10 day vacation. Not one word about the economy.
John Boehner may not be perfect, and BO is not perfect, even though BO thinks BO is perfect. Presidents do not call out people like BO does. No class here, just immaturity, childish rhetoric. It makes Obama feel good when he can criticize someone, put the blame on someone else. He is good at this. Too bad he is not good at being President.

AMERICA HAS CHANGED - but you need to be old enough to know it.
I grew up in the 60's and 70's. Not the greatest time , not the worst. We had our share of crap. Vietnam, 4 students killed in Kent Ohio, fires in DC and Philly. 120 cities had riots in 1968. Even so low, they killed our President, JFK. But that was not enough, they killed Martin Luther King and JFK brother, Robert.
The sixties had a lot of racial unrest and other problems. We were not too modern - had no cellphones in those days. And even without cell phones we functioned. But America had a wonderful appeal. Not like today. Today America is roads, interstates, and houses, and places to shop. And we keep building houses. Ask why? Maybe so people can move into to theses homes and then foreclose on them.
_________________________________________________________________________
Here is what changed. Government was smaller then. Today government tries to control too much of us. Almost everything we do. We can thank Obama and the Democrats for this. They write laws that are not read, and only serve a few. The government spends too much. Our debt is out of control.
We have new words and phases we did not use in the sixties and seventies. Here are a few.
1. Politically correct.
2. Trillion dollar deficit
3. Never let a good crisis go to waste
4. Jihad and Al-Qaeda
5. Terrorist.
6. TARP- Troubled asset relief program
7. Military rules of engagement.
8. Cell phones
_______________________________________________________________________
We have government, banking and corporate greed at unprecedented levels. We have
government, banking and corporate corruption at unprecedented levels.
Today our corporations and banks are demonized by some. Years ago this is where America worked. we love companies and banks, now they are hated.
America changed when we lost manufacturing jobs. This was the beginning of the end. Did you think we could possibly run America on McDonalds, ExxonMobil gas stations and Citi bank??
We need to make stuff. We do not need a another stock brokerage. On line or other wise. If you do not have a job you cannot invest.
All the laws and regulations that Congress has written and passed are not looked at until there is a crisis - like the BP oil spill. Was this an accident caused be Government lack of attention or just corporate greed? Or did the government like its relationship with big oil, especially when big oil gave big campaign pledges to politicians?
Goldman Sachs is accused of fraud by the SEC. Was it legitimate or just plain greed? The banks spend millions of dollars to lobby for what they want. More corruption.
The world has changed too.
Greece is nearly Bankrupt. Certain members of the great European Union are in trouble - PIIGS. Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain.
This is what happens when you spend more than you take in.This where we are headed.
_________________________________________________________________
If America is going to survive, some things must change.
Out debt, what we owe to China, and our deficits must decrease. They simply cannot continue to increase at the present rate.
We cannot continue to give monetary aide to foreign countries. We need to stop buying our friends.
We need a balanced budget, ASAP. Federal and all states.
States can no longer give teachers and union workers lucrative pensions, that have been underfunded and were not contributed to by their union members.
We spend to much on two wars that we cannot win. We need to leave the middle east alone, and get out of there.
Foreign countries are surpassing us in math and science. Foreign countries send more kids to college than we do, and more get technical degrees. More girls go to college than boys.
We all have to ask ourselves, What has happened to our country?

There is Incompetence all around us.
_____________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________
Is it just me?
I can see and feel incompetence all around us. Maybe some of the problem is semantics. Maybe not.
BP wants to try to "top kill" to seal the leaking oil well. While Obama and the congress want to "bottom kill" the rest of the country.
I watched officials from Louisiana and parishes near New Orleans complain that nothing is getting done, in regards to the BP oil spill disaster. Their hands are tied. Everyone is lying, The government, BP, Department of the Interior, lawyers. Lies, Lies, Lies. No one is in charge. Not BP, not the Government, not Louisiana , not the Coast Guard, not the parishes, not the fishermen, not the lawyers.
I watched James Carville and his wife Mary Matalin, both from Louisiana, who appear on CNN, complain and showed their frustration as they observed the oil that had reached the shore. Blame BP. Not Obama. These two look at their state everyday. It must be tough to see nothing getting done.
Gov. Bobby Jindal was there also. He was frustrated also.
The officials from Louisiana should have started the oil clear up themselves. Before it ever reached the
freshwater wetlands of Louisiana's southeastern tip. Then they could have given BP the bill for the clean up.But they did nothing - incompetent. They helped ruin their own wet lands. Just like Katrina, Louisiana waited for the federal government and FEMA, to take care of the emergency, but it took too long. And New Orleans was pretty much ruined because nothing was done from the beginning of the storm.
What a pathetic press conference.
The President cares. Sure he does. He gave a press conference today, first press in months, but he cares. He cares about Barbra Boxer too. He claims from day one of the oil spill he was on top of it. Is he in charge? or is BO just a figure head of the government. Does he have any leadership qualities at all? This happened on his watch. I hope he knows that. Of course, Obama will blame George Bush for this entire mess if given the chance.
Look at this President and his WH, all incompetent. Not a leader. Do they really think we will accept all their shenanigans?
Here is an abridged career path of BO. Educated, community organizer, Senator, President. He did well for the first two. Terrible for the last two -incompetent.
Look at the Congress, all incompetent. They held hearings on the spill. They condemned BP officials, criticized their safety record. They want to change the law, make it tough on oil drilling, yes they are real tough. They are tough - after there is an explosion and a fire, people get killed, an oil rig sinks to the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico and the biggest oil spill ever occurs. Yes, like Obama they are tough. And they are incompetent.
The main stream media is incompetent too. How about MSNBC Here is the best of the worst. Hardball with Chris Matthews , Ed Shultz, Keith Obermann, Rachel Maddow. Pathetic, disgraceful, common, losers. They do nothing well. They know nothing - except how to bash Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann and all Republicans. They love big government and big spending. They love Obama. Obama can do not wrong - ever.
Incompetence: Last example.
All these busy people - doing nothing, and getting nothing done. But I bet the lawyers are getting things done. Getting ready and filing thousands of law suits and claims. Yes the lawyers are real busy, busy counting the money they will make off of BP.

BP - The Oil Spill Clock is Ticking.
From Wikipedia:
The Deepwater Horizon oil spill (also referred as BP oil spill,[5] Gulf of Mexico oil spill, and Macondo blowout) is a massive ongoing oil spill and oil gusher in the Gulf of Mexico that started on April 20, 2010. The spill followed a blowout that caused an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling rig, which then sank off the coast of Louisiana.[2] Eleven rig workers are missing and presumed dead; the explosion also injured 17 others.
______________________________________________________________________
BP has fabricated a containment tank to seal the oil leak in the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. This attempt failed, because of an ice slush formation that disallowed flow to a recovery vessel.
The oil spill is huge, and an explosion that finally sunk the oil rig.
MSN Money has reported: "BP’s current liability for the massive oil spill is capped by law at $75 million. Senator Robert Menendez (a Democrat from New Jersey) has other ideas, however: He is co-sponsoring a measure that would lift the liability limit to $10 billion -- yes, that’s with a ‘b’ -- and would do so retroactively, so it could apply to the April 20 spill."
This was an unprecedented event.
I watched the House and Senate hearings, who questioned BP,
Transocean Ltd, and Halliburton officials. This is a very technical industry, I do think the congress subcommittees is out of the league here. Think about this. If BP does not know what is going on, how can the House or the Senate know anything about what happened.
I do not think BP has a clue how this happened. Whats worst, BP does not seem to have a clue how to stop this spill.
I predict, many people are "out for blood". Including Senators and members of the House. All the coastal states that are affected by this spill will sue. Fishermen, hotel chains, beach communities will sue. There will be a long list. No one will truly win, accept maybe the lawyers.

When can we trust banks? - Goldman Sachs Sued by SEC
Washington, D.C., April 16, 2010
— "The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged Goldman, Sachs
& Co. and one of its vice presidents for defrauding investors by
misstating and omitting key facts about a financial product tied to
subprime mortgages as the U.S. housing market was beginning to falter.
The SEC alleges that one of the world's largest hedge funds, Paulson & Co., paid Goldman Sachs to structure a transaction in which Paulson & Co. could take short positions against mortgage securities chosen by Paulson & Co. based on a belief that the securities would experience credit events."
See full article at:
http://sec.gov/news/press/2010/2010-59.htm
_____________________________________________________________
Last year at Goldman Sachs the bonus pool on was $16.2 billion. This amounts to an average of just under $500,000 per employee.
All that bonus money - Goldman gave its people, should be returned. If the charges by the SEC are true, Goldman did not earn their money honestly. They committed fraud.
They will need that bonus money for their legal problems, and hopefully they will have to pay back people who were cheated.
I think its clear there is too much manipulation, corruption and general screwing around with other peoples' money on Wall Street.
Bernie Maddoff ruined many lives. He went to jail. And his wife and family kept most of their fortune. This was not right. They all should have gone to jail, his wife, his sons, and his brother. They all knew what Bernie was up too, what he was doing. The SEC screwed up too. They failed to act on whistler blowers.
Time will tell if the SEC has a good case against Goldman.
Hedge funds - Selling short - Lack of insider disclosures all wrong. All risky business, huge profits and in the end, many investors get screwed.
Every one is free to make a profit. A big profit. But you have to do it legally. We are living among many, many cheaters. Investing has risks, but the deck is stacked against us. Its unfair, and many cases not legal. These cheats should not just be fined. They should go to jail.
I am a little investor. And I don't have a prayer. The odds are stacked against me and others. If Obama reform increases the tax rate on dividends and capital gains, and I am affected, I will sell my stock, and get into other kind of investments.
I cannot beat them. I cannot join them. So I will leave them.

Bart Stupak - Obama Care Sacrificial Lamb
Rep. Bart Stupak (D, MI) has announced he will retire at the end of his term.
_______________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________
The Democrats needed Stupak's vote to pass the healthcare bill. So he sacrificed his career for the good of the party. How pathetic, how lame. What sad case.
What else did he do? He scarified his religious convictions for the party.
He says its time to leave, to retire, he wants to do new things. Bye, Bye Bart.

"Stupak, who had played a central role in the House's passage of
President Obama's healthcare legislation, had demanded antiabortion
language in the bill.
Instead of that, he won an executive order from the president stating
that nothing in the healthcare bill that Obama signed would override an
existing ban on federal funding for abortions.

The Democrats needed Stupak's vote to pass the healthcare bill. So he sacrificed his career for the good of the party. How pathetic, how lame. What sad case.
What else did he do? He scarified his religious convictions for the party.
He says its time to leave, to retire, he wants to do new things. Bye, Bye Bart.

Obama the Wonderful has done it again.
NPR has reported on April 8, 2010.
The U.S. and Russia signed their first strategic arms treaty in nearly two decades on Thursday, aiming to draw down their nuclear arsenals by as much as one-third while forging improved relations between the former Cold War rivals.
___________________________________________________________________
Obama has made another mess.
He thinks he can change the world as he sees it, not as it is. He is living in La La Land. He thinks if we are nice to our enemies, they will be nice to us.
Does he think China will reduce their weapons for us?
This treaty and if passed, will not make the world safer. It will make us weaker.
This President is so naive, so inexperienced, so ill advised, so weak, it is pathetic.
Almost every day he stirs the pot. He just has to mess with somebody or some thing.

Health Care bill is a huge accomplishment for the Democrats - who says?
The bill, which passed 219 to 212 without a single Republican vote.
Here is what Obama really did.
Dozens and dozens of lies, distortions and half truths.
Dozens of deals.
If this is such a great win for Democrats, why is the President still trying to sell it to the America public?
If the Health Care bill is such a huge accomplishment for the Democrats, why were there so many deals to buy votes?
How can this be called a victory? When the Democrats have had to lie, cheat and make deals to pass this bill. You had to cheat and be corrupt to pass this bill. Shame on the Democrats.
Hurry up November.

Joe Biden - Full of Class. Dropped the F - bomb.
Vice President Joe Biden, perhaps overcome with excitement during his
speech congratulating President Obama on the passage of health care
reform, dropped an F-bomb on live television when he turned to Obama
and said, "This is a big fucking deal.
________________________________________________________________ A lot of news people see nothing wrong with Biden. I DO. Its another example of how Washington behaves, how they are arrogant and they think they are privileged . Crude and common misfits, suppose to be educated and experienced. At nothing.
Crude Barbarian. Hey, Mr. V.P. did you think you were at a football game or in a bar? You disgrace your office, and those around you.
Can you believe this guy. Joe Biden has no class. Try thinking for a change.
You, Mr. Biden, Vice President of the United States, are a horses ass. And you should apologize, for what you said.

Democrats to "Deem" Health Care passes without Voting
Democrats are resorting to their tricks and distortions.
This shows two things: one, they do not have the votes to pass this crap bill and two, the democrats are desperate.
They are as pathetic as Obama's White House.
They may get this bill through - but we'll see who win in the end.

Obama wants Health Care vote by Easter
Obama wants a health care vote to pass by Easter. And I want a new Corvette. Good luck, sir.
Keep pushing. Push Pelosi. Push her right out the door.
Push Harry Reid too. Right out the door will be very fine.
Keep showing how you cannot govern.
Last May Wanda Sykes said at the White House Correspondents dinner with a joke about Rush Limbaugh; Sykes said that she hoped Limbaugh’s “kidney’s fail”, in response to the talk show hosts comments that he hopes the Obama administration fails.
I hope your Health care bill fails. And does not pass.
