How do you like this hope and change? Change is that an American President commits American forces into a war with another Muslim country without addressing the American people at the onset. In his speech tonight to finally address the American people after 9 days into this new war, he said he made a statement that the Libyian dictator, Gaddafi must go over 3 weeks ago and then Gaddafii started cutting off water to his people and killing his people. Obama does not realize the power of American words, intervention and power. Hello, Obama - you said Gaddafi must go doesn't make it so. And a no-fly zone really didn't do anything. They were not shooting their people from planes but from ground troops! Now what? Vice President Biden came out before the President's speech tonight with a smile from ear to ear and did a dance in front of an audience of our military - an audience instead of an address from the oval office to the American people? I think we have amatures in the White House. Former defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said over the weekend that now that we are involved and there in Lybia, the worse case is that Gaddafi doesn't go and then he becomes another Saddam Hussein as in Iraq bragging that he is still in power and defeated the super power USA (first President Bush, Margret Thacher, etc).
After President Obama's speech tonight, MSNBC went on a tangent to attack the remarks from Newt Gingrinch and others at a Republican event this weekend instead of analyzing this speech by President Obama. That is strange and I guess they haven't figured out how to defend Obama yet.
I guess the White House will be asking for us to forward e-mails in opposition to their policy to them like he did over the opposition to his health care policy. Did you hear last week they have assigned the former Press Secretary to monitor the internet?

REMEMBER THAT GREAT FIRST-TIME HOME BUYER TAX CREDIT....
Was filling out our income tax return and just had to laugh:
On the 2010 On-line Tax Application this year:
"If you claimed the first-time home buyer credit for a home purchased in 2008, you must begin repayment of the credit on your 2010 income tax return. Also if you claimed the first-time home buyer credit on a prior year return and that home is no longer your main home, this credit may be subject to immediate recapture."
OMG!!! How many first time home buyers do you think read the fine print on this! I feel sorry for them.
When I heard about this back then, I knew it was unfair to single out particular groups for a tax credit. Why just first-time home buyers, why not all home buyers? But that is the way our government has been working for about the last 60 years. But now we find out it really wasn't a tax credit at all - it was a SCAM by our federal government to to get people to buy homes! And probably used the young people (first time buyers) because seasoned home buyers would have figured this out. They are giving the first time home buyer 10 years to repay it - how many will stay in their home that long? I am tired of TAX CREDITS! Just don't tax us in the first place!!!
I've had it!!! The government first has to takith away - to givith! And now they givith and then takith away! Is your head spinning yet?

MICHELLE OBAMA CALLING FOR PARENTS TO MISLEAD THEIR CHILDREN
This one is unbelievable; maybe I am being too generous in saying she is calling for parents to 'mislead' instead of using the word 'lie" to their children. How would a parent like it if their child was late and said he got a flat tire on his bike when really he just let the air out of his tire so he could spend more time with friends. Parents: her suggestions here are immoral and encourage untrust between parent and child. Secondly, I cannot believe our government is ADVERTISING for their programs - I have seen them all over my local television stations -health care, etc.....calling them "PSA's" (Public Service Announcement's). I call them DDS's (Dumbing Down Society) paid for by the American people.
Michelle Obama said the following 3 days ago on an interview with Tom Joyner:
"The PSAs we launched this week provide some really cute tips for parents. And they're going to start airing on 33,000 media outlets over the next several weeks, and they're going to continue for several months. But they give parents some cute tips, like turn off the power in your house. Not that everybody can do that, but that's just one of the commercials. And the kids are like, oh, we can’t play our video games. And then they decide to go outside and play.
And another ad - the mom makes the kid go up and down the stairs several times looking for her purse which she knows where it is - (Laughter) and just making her go up and down and up and down the stairs a few times before she gives her the dollar she’s looking for.
So we have to be creative as parents, particularly in the African-American communities where we don't have sports leagues. We don't have - it’s not safe to play outside sometimes because our neighborhoods - we don't have the kind of safety net that we need, so we have to start sharing with each other tips because there are communities all over the country that are running into these issues. And we, as parents, have to get creative because the option of just letting our kids sit is significantly affecting their health in a negative way. So we are born to move."

Her statements here are absurd!
'They will stop playing their video games and go outside' - well someone had to buy them the video game instead of the sport uniform - much easier than taking them to the practices and games - PARENTS FAULT!
And surely children that sit in front of the TV will see the PSA's!
Michelle, this would have been my message:
If you are a parent or guardian, get involved with your children in activities: Boy and Girl scouts, Church activities and athletics are available for all. Get outside and play with your children - mine love to play ball outside with us - whether the back yard, front yard or in the street we are there with them playing together. Take them to a neighborhood park and let them run around and play on the slides, swings, etc.; when a parent is with them you don't have to worry about them. And children, ask your parents to come outside with you to play or to enroll you in the YMCA sports programs!

AS WE LOOK TO THE FUTURE
I attended another funeral for one of our Greatest Generation. A 95 year-old gentleman...one of those who fought through World War II, endured the Great Depression and contributed to this great country to make the United States of America a great nation.
We are the next generation. What do we want this country to look like? We are in a situation which is similar to that which the Greatest Generation of our time faced. They believed in this great country and its founding principles. They worked hard to make money to support their families; whatever it took. I remember my own mother from this generation saying that they were so poor at one point that they would have qualified for "food stamps" but they didn't partake in that - that generation worked to overcome hardships.
President Clinton, of the "me generation" (no offense to those of you from that generation) has said that 'one of their biggest mistakes was sending food to countries and it only lasts for a short amount of time. They should have taught the people of those countries how to grow crops, and produce milk, etc' This concept seems so basic: Give a man a fish and he will eat for day, teach a man to fish and he eats forever. President Kennedy famously said, "Ask not what what your country can to do for you but what you can do for your country." Today, we have even more government assistance programs from all areas - with people with their hands out. This is making us a nation where people don't want to contribute and make money for themselves. There are government programs for for free food, help for home payments, help for cell phones, etc.
The Greatest Generation brought us a nation of people who freely donated to help those less fortunate than themselves. Today the government is taking from us to provide the services that once were donations from a caring generation. Innovation and eutropeaurialship made this country stronger than any other country on earth in only over 200 years. The greatest generation tried to leave these traditions (and constitution) for our generation, their grandchildren and great grandchildren just as the generations before them did. We must refuse this governmental take over our country for entitlement programs if we want to feel proud of our own accompishments and the good feeling we get from donating to those less fortunate (used to be called charities but now they are referred to by the government as "non-governmental organizations or NGO's"). They want to take from and us and redistribute as they see fit instead of the system of charitible giving that has worked so well for us until this point.

MANIPULATION OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
President Obama is pivoting. That is why his poll numbers are increasing. If he gets another term we are in big trouble without him worrying about another re-election. He already threw our democrats under the bus with his Stimulus (that had to pass or unemployment would go over 8% - we have been over 10% since this was passed). He threw our democrats under the bus with this Health Care Bill. He told everyone to forward e-mails that disagreed with this Health Care policy. What is next? Cas Sunstein, mentioned as a likely Obama nominee to the Supreme Court, Sunstein is currently Obama’s head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs where, among other things, he is responsible for “overseeing policies relating to privacy, information quality, and statistical programs.” In 2008, while at Harvard Law School, Sunstein co-wrote a truly pernicious paper proposing that the U.S. Government employ teams of covert agents and pseudo-”independent” advocates to “cognitively infiltrate” online groups and websites — as well as other activist groups — which advocate views that Sunstein deems “false conspiracy theories” about the Government. This would be designed to increase citizens’ faith in government officials and undermine the credibility of conspiracists.
As Cas Sunstein said, “Once we know that people are human and have some Homer Simpson in them, then there’s a lot that can be done to manipulate that.”

REPEAL NATIONAL HEALTH CARE LAW
Tomorrow (Wednesday) is a big day and action is required on our part. Please forward to people in other states. The nation voted-in over 60 Republicans to repeal the new health care law. The media says it won't pass the senate. There are dozens of Democratic senators that will be up for re-election that voted for this bill and we need to take another step by contacting our senator and letting them know we want this health care law repealed. Call the White House too. This can happen with your help. Let's start over with a more "civil" and bi-partisan bill that doesn't include the Corn-husker kickback, the Louisiana purchase and things we don't even know that is in it until after they passed it. We already have over 100 companies that have asked to be exempted from the legislation and they have been granted that by the government. Let us replace this with a new more "civilized" and more compassionate legislation that actually reduces health care costs and health insurance costs.

PRESIDENT GOES TO COLLEGE CAMPUS FOR MEMORIAL SERVICE
As I watched the Memorial Service for those that died in Tuscan, Arizona, I became even more upset at the politic ism of the death of others. The Memorial Service which the President of The United States decided to attend was at a college campus, not a church where a proper Memorial Service should be held (such as the church service after September 11, 2001 where preachers of different faiths tried to heal and comfort a nation). Instead we got an inappropriate pep-rally by a cheering college crowd over the death and injuries caused by a mentally-ill person Call me old-fashioned, but the President could have held a proper Memorial Service at a proper place where cheering, yelling and standing ovations would not have prevailed. From the very beginning, the attendees received a t-shirt which stated, "Together We Thrive." Instead of hearing from a comforting preacher we heard from a man who said 'I am a Mexican (cheering!) with Indian heritage trying to get an education (cheering!)'. He said let's work toward harmony and balance. "Oh Creator" was repeated over and over again in his speech with cheering from the crowd. The president of the university spoke and said "Will this make us a more caring world?" and "Fortunately we have great leadership to help us with this tonight." He continued "They tried to silence our voices, but we won't be silenced..." "Out of Many One...we all became Arizonans, we all became Americans." Became Americans? We had our Homeland Security Secretary and our U.S. Attorney General speak. It was very political.
When the Republican Arizona Governor (whom the Obama administration is suing over their illegal-immigration law) spoke and said "we also lost Christina Taylor Green" the crowd exploded into a huge applause. Is it just me, or was that just not the right time to cheer and applaud for a dead 9-year old girl?
Am I the only one that believes that all of this was set up to make the President's speech look civil? His speech was civil in comparison to what we had heard from the speakers before him at this Memorial Service or from the national media for nearly week prior to the President's speech at the Memorial Service.
That being said, The President of the United States, said 'our discourse is so polarized that we too easily lay the blame on those that think differently than we do'. Who is he talking to with this statement: - "than we do"? Is he acknowledging that this is a liberal audience of his piers when it was suppose to be a Memorial Service for those lost. Was he chastising the liberal media? I don't think so. The Arizona sheriff, the national media and Democrats had laid the blame for this shooting all week on the rhetoric from the Tea Party, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Fox News and in general "talk radio" without The President saying a word to stop it.
The ironic thing is that today's politics had nothing to do with this insane mad-man. He had this planned since 2007. However, watching the sheriff and media it was as though they had been waiting on a incident such as this to blast the Tea Party, etc.
Today on the Sunday talk shows, the national media interviewed Democrats who tried to act civil for a change. The liberal media inquired "what is going to happen with this 'new tone in Washington'. It is a political stunt to make it look like the political discourse did have something to do with the shootings. This call for civility is in direct response as they were unable to tie the cause of the shootings to the Tea Party, Palin, Limbaugh, Beck and Fox News. And in the aftermath, we must all now act civilly. Of course, Fox News Sunday must not have got the message as they went ahead with normal programing instead of the love fest the other national Sunday programs had with the Democrats.
After the do-nothing stimulus, Cambridge police acted stupidly, take-over of auto companies, we have to pass the Health care bill so we can find out what is in it (which drove up the cost of health care and health insurance), we have our boot on the throat of BP, and a moratorium and new regulations on oil drilling which is driving up the cost of energy, I think the 2012 election campaigning has begun with We Need Civility after nearly a decade of bush-bashing and culminating in the most vicious week of incivility by an Arizona sheriff, the national media, Democrats and a Memorial Service where cheering, standing ovations and politics replaced a dignified service for those that were lost at the hands of a mad-man. Shame on you, President Obama.
