Obama dangerously believes the world revolves around him

Obama who continues to be more interested in his own cult of personality than actually performing the job of president is making many nervous and frustrated.

The guy is distracted by building his own image and brand than he is in finding real solutions to our nations problems.

The way he performs his job is quite telling and dangerous.

He wants to stand up & take a bow for other peoples work, and self-congratulate himself at our countries peril.

Domestically, Obama claimed a great need for a stimulus. With it he would hold unemployment to 8%. He got the stimulus rhammed through Congress and our representatives were not given time to read it. What choice did they have? They were told the sky would fall if they didn't act that afternoon. They passed it.

Instead of running the emergency legislation to the White House for Obama's signature, he bowed ans self-congratulated himself for its passage. As soon as the photographers left, so did he. He went to Chicago for four days of rest, without signing this emergency bill.

Same with Cap & Trade. Rhammed it through without members reading the bill. It is only the largest tax increase to be levied against the American public in the country's history. Why read it. Once again, Obama took a bow.

In both instances he implored Congress to act. He failed to give leadership or guidance on either piece of legislation.

Now we have our economy still floundering as his policies have failed to give any relief, and he insists that health care is yet another emergency. He gave Congress until the August recess to act. They didn't get it done on time. Why? Because the American voters decided to do the job of congress and actually read the bill.

What they found was disturbing. They stood up & spoke out.

The biased media called them Nazi's, unAmerican, and racists for daring to question such a plan.

Obama did what he always does when given the opportunity. He went on TV. He had been on more TV at this point than any previous president. He doesn't really say anything new, but at least he is kind enough to allow the little people to see & hear him.

He attempted to use the children to reach their parents. He even sent out topics for the teachers to discuss. When the voters got word of this impending indoctrination, they protested.

So Obama changed his speech to try to dissuade his critics. Never mind that the speech he gave did not match the instructions given to the teachers. Upon finishing the speech, he took a bow and asked what all the criticism was about.

I would be remiss not to mention the "Czars" appointed under Obama.

Van Jones finally resigned. He was the self avowed communist & black nationalist, who had been appointed as our 'Green Czar'.

There is Cass Sunstein, our 'Regulatory Czar'. He has written and spoke that he believes it is highly "desirable" for American wealth to be redistributed to poor countries. He also believes that we should have a new constitution by 2020 that grants a new 'Bill of Rights' embracing every liberal cause you can think of.

Have to include John Holdren, the 'Science Czar'. He is for forced abortion, and population control. Removing children from unmarried mothers. He cowrote 'Ecoscience' that can be googled. He is about the most bizarre of the bunch.

Kevin Jennings is our 'Safe School Czar'. He is charged with keeping our kids safe in school.

He is a former teacher who had a 15 yo. boy confide to him that the boy was being sexually abused by an adult male. The law states clearly that such a staement is to be reported to authorities. He chose not to and advised the boy to use a condom.

Another incident was the "fistgate" scandal in which he led discussions at a seminar where "young teens were guided on how to perform dangerous homosexual perversions including 'fisting,'" the website said.

Yet another was Jennings' address in a New York City church on March 20, 2000. He said:

"Twenty percent of people are hard-core fair-minded [pro-homosexual] people. Twenty percent are hard-core [anti-homosexual] bigots. We need to ignore the hard-core bigots, get more of the hard-core fair-minded people to speak up, and we’ll pull that 60 percent [of people in the middle] over to our side. That's really what I think our strategy has to be. We have to quit being afraid of the religious right. We also have to quit — I’m trying to find a way to say this. I’m trying not to say, '[F—] 'em!' which is what I want to say, because I don’t care what they think! [audience laughter] Drop dead!"

Jennings was appointed the assistant deputy secretary in the Office of Safe & Drug Free Schools in the U.S. Department of Education. He founded the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, which "makes schools safe for all students, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity."

On domestic & foreign policy issues Obama fluctuates between eglomaniac and narcassist.

On foreign policy he puts his own personal interests ahead of Americas or the worlds interests. Its all about him.

He treats allies as enemies and naively treats enemies as allies.

He caved into Russian pressure to abandon a missile shield based in Poland & the Czech Republic. I agree with the decision, but would not have promised it in the first place. They can buy their own.

In April he claimed it was needed and said so during a public speech in Prague. The crowd roared with approval, and he took a bow.

In announcing his decision to scrap the program, he said it was because Iran did not have the means to produce a nuclear weapon or a missile to reach Europe, and wouldn't for some time.

That was another of his oft told lies.

He was told before coming into office what the real situation was with Iran. They are on the cusp of being capable of producing nuclear weapons and delivering them much further than he said in his speech.

Iran proved it the next day when they began war games & test firing a series of medium and short-range missiles.

Last week at the UN, while flanked by the UK's Brown & France's Sarkozy, he claimed to believe the world would be free of nuclear weapons. Even while he was making this proclamation he knew the truth about Iran.

The foreign leaders had the same info on Iran, but were frustrated with Obama not wanting to confront Iran.

Both countries wanted to confront Iran a day earlier at the United Nations. Mr. Obama was, after all, chairing a Security Council session devoted to nonproliferation. The latest evidence of Iran's illegal moves toward acquiring a nuclear weapon was in hand. With the world's leaders gathered in New York, the timing and venue would be a dramatic way to rally international opinion.

President Sarkozy in particular pushed hard. He had been "frustrated" for months about Mr. Obama's reluctance to confront Iran, a senior French government official told us, and saw an opportunity to change momentum. But the Administration told the French that it didn't want to "spoil the image of success" for Mr. Obama's debut at the U.N. and his homily calling for a world without nuclear weapons, according to the Paris daily Le Monde. So the Iran bombshell was pushed back a day to Pittsburgh, where the G-20 were meeting to discuss economic policy.

"We are right to talk about the future," Mr. Sarkozy said, referring to the U.S. resolution on strengthening arms control treaties. "But the present comes before the future, and the present includes two major nuclear crises," i.e., Iran and North Korea. "We live in the real world, not in a virtual one." No prize for guessing into which world the Frenchman puts Mr. Obama.

"We say that we must reduce," he went on. "President Obama himself has said that he dreams of a world without nuclear weapons. Before our very eyes, two countries are doing exactly the opposite at this very moment. Since 2005, Iran has violated five Security Council Resolutions . . .

"I support America's 'extended hand.' But what have these proposals for dialogue produced for the international community? Nothing but more enriched uranium and more centrifuges. And last but not least, it has resulted in a statement by Iranian leaders calling for wiping off the map a Member of the United Nations. What are we to do? What conclusions are we to draw? At a certain moment hard facts will force us to make decisions."

We thought we'd never see the day when the President of France shows more resolve than America's Commander in Chief for confronting one of the gravest challenges to global security. But here we are.

I won't go into the Obama mistakes regarding capitulation to the UN. on several matters.

State & Federal governments Draconian preparations for H1N1 Pandemic

Many citizens are concerned with the stepped up efforts of the state & federal governments dire warnings about a pending pandemic of the H1N1 flu. While I suspect it is largely a contrived pandemic, the preparations and related legislation arising the last two weeks is alarming.

My friends on the radical left will say I am fear mongering for discussing it. They will defend the measures being taken as "responsible". I believe the preparation that would be reasonable would be to keep reminding folks to wash their hands and cover their mouth when coughing.

We watched last week as the Iowa state government put Draconian measures in place to deal with the situation.

This week has seen the Massachusetts Senate pass similar legislation and I am providing a link to the actual bill, and some excerpts that highlight the reason I believe it to be Draconian. I shared with everyone a couple of weeks ago that I received a fax from Homeland Security that was a federal version of the state laws described here.

When reading the Massachusetts bill, you will realize this is not just about H1N1, but also, any other emergencies.



It allows confinement of individuals to private or public premises


It allows seizure and destruction of both private and public property


Provides for fines up to $1,000 per day for noncompliance


Allows for the arrest and detainment of those not complying


Permits the government to force vaccination, treatment of both disease & injury


Provides for the healthcare providers to be deputized as it relates to the declared emergency


We have entered a new era in American life. Voters can not support such measures.
