TEXAS LEGISLATION YOU SUE YOU PAY
This is one of the most important and greatest victories for this state, for our country and for all of us. Can you imagine how many businesses this will affect in a positive way? Can you imagine how many people that want to sue a company won't now; you loose you pay all court and attorney fees for everyone! A GREAT PIECE OF LEGISLATION! THANK YOU TEXAS CONGRESS! Texas has never had "state taxes" and this is just one more reason for businesses to move to Texas. The Obama administration is surely to challenge it soon.

WHO HAS THE GUTS TO TAKE IT TO OBAMA?
You know what I like about Donald Trump? He doesn't accept the premise that Obama puts forth and the national media follows. He challenged Obama that he was born in Hawaii and took the challenge to the media and to Obama until Obama gave in. Where is a candidate to bring this kind of passion to the more important issues by bringing them to the forefront? Why is it that we must accept the premise of statements made by Obama which are regurgitated by the media?
Obama and the media say over and over, Obama "inherited this mess." I have listened to Republicans agree with this statement. Where is someone to stand up and say that is a bunch of Obama Bull! Unemployment was in the 6 percent range in the October BEFORE OBAMA WAS ELECTED! Employment went into a free fall AFTER HE WAS ELECTED; it was his promise to raise the taxes on small businesses and the job creators in this country that sent it into a free fall!
Obama blamed Bush, Republican policies and greedy banks for the Mortgage crisis and the media happily regurgitated it. Where is someone to stand up and say that WAS a lie! Now we know the sub-prime mortgage crisis was due to liberal policies of intervention into mortgage lending, setting goals with lavish bonuses for Fannie and Freddie for providing mortgages to those with bad credit scores. Due to President Clinton's 1992 Affordable Housing Act, banks were forced to lend to people they wouldn't otherwise lend to.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_Reinvestment_Act
And these are the liberal democrats during Bush's Presidency defending these policies when the Republicans were holding hearings to warn of an impending mortgage crisis; the liberal line: all was fine and Fannie and Freddie are "meeting their goals" (remember the liberal goal is to force banks to give mortgages to those that would not otherwise qualify). You will even hear Liberal Democrat Maxine Waters referring to President Clinton's bill here, and President Clinton himself admitting (in his usual way) fault of "democrats":
And this was we got: more government intervention:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housing_and_Economic_Recovery_Act_of_2008
We were told by Obama that we must pass ObamaCare in order to bring an end to the recession. Obama said health insurance costs were too high and if we didn't pass this bill now they would continue to rise. Obama said this bill would drop insurance premiums an average of $2500. The media happily regurgitated this and both mocked the people screaming against this bill. Well guess what, unemployment skyrocketed to over 10% after the passage of this bill and every one's health insurance went up! More Obama-Bull! Well, I won't be so nice on this one, it was a LIE. Where is that someone to stand up and take it to Obama!
We were told by Obama that we must pass a stimulus of almost a trillion dollars or unemployment would rise over 8 percent. Obama now laughs about its failure. Who will stand up and give him hell on this issue?
Who has the guts to cut the bloated Federal Government spending? It won't be Obama. We need a fiscal conservative to stand up and run the federal budget like we all have to run our family budgets; we can't spend more than we take in. Bush started this excess spending and Obama has almost tripled the concept of spending without cutting. Shame on all of you that proposed and passed these budgets. And don't fall for the premise that you have to cut Social Security and Medicare to do this!!! Don't buy into the bull that your firefighters, police and teachers will need to be cut. That is a liberal ploy (Obama and media) to scare. There is so much waste in the government it could be cut tomorrow and no one would even notice (Shrimp on Treadmills, Government Limos, duplication between agencies, fraud, mandated goals and spending by departments)! If Obama had tried to balance the federal budget upon coming into office, he would have had to cut about 500 billion. This would have been a cut of 20% on average for each of the departments. Obama didn't cut, he increased - typical liberal policies! Obama has mishandled the federal budget and these are his policies that caused us to be in the situation we are in.
We need a President and First Lady that will lead by cutting spending. Playing golf and taking vacations that cost the American people money isn't what we need right now. Trips to other countries at this point veiled in relations improvement are insulting and economically expensive to us (i.e. Michelle's currently in Africa to "build relations"). Okay, I didn't have a problem with some at the beginning of this presidency but now they have gotten out of control. Who will stand up and point this out that their travels have cost millions if not billions in a time we need to reduce federal spending.
Who will stand up for us, our children, grandchildren and future generations and get rid of this debt and deficit? Who will take this country back and yes, I said back - Obama said we're not going back, we're going forward. Yes, we need to move forward but in a totally different direction than Obama is taking us (but actually going back to the 4-6% unemployment under Bush and $2.50 gas sounds good about right now).
Speaking of gas, Obama puts a moratorium on drilling for oil, took an expensive trip with a huge entourage to Brazil to try to get them to drill for oil while we are sitting on enough oil for decades and now releases the national strategic oil reserve due to "a shortage of oil." Nothing Obama does makes any sense.
Donald Duck should win against Obama. But someone has to have the guts to take it to him and the national media and stop accepting their premises. Put Obama and the media on the offensive like Donald Trump did on a simple issue such as his birth certificate.

73% INCREASE IN LIMOS SINCE OBAMA ELECTED
Hillary's State Department budget was 51.7 billion! in Obama's 2010 budget. This was an increase of 40.9% over the 2009 Federal Budget for this department! Limousines, the very symbol of wealth and excess, are usually the symbol of corporate executives and the rich. But the number of limos owned by the government increased by 73 percent during the first two years of the Obama administration.
Most of the increase was recorded in Hillary Clinton’s State Department. Obama administration officials said most of the increase reflects an enhanced effort to protect diplomats and other government officials in a dangerous world. But a watchdog group says the abundance of limos sends the wrong message in the midst of a budget crisis. The increase in limos comes to light on the heels of an executive order from President Obama last week that charges agencies to increase the fuel efficiency of their fleets.
According to General Services Administration data , the number of limousines in the federal fleet increased from 238 in fiscal 2008, the last year of the George W. Bush administration, to 412 in 2010. Much of the 73 percent increase—111 of the 174 additional limos—took place in fiscal 2009, more than eight months of which corresponded with Obama’s first year in office.

SHRIMP ON TREADMILL PAID FOR BY TAXPAYERS
National Science Foundation has an annual budget of 7 billion dollars and this is one of the projects our taxpayers dollars are funding: $500,000 to study a shrimp on a treadmill. Unbelievable!!!
The National Science Foundation is being given too much money if it can afford to fund experiments that involve putting shrimp on treadmills or creating laundry-folding robots, grumbles Sen. Tom Coburn. The Oklahoma Republican has released a report criticizing the agency, which receives some $7 billion in federal funding a year, for wasting billions of dollars through mismanagement and by funding studies of questionable value, ABC News reports.
Scientists, however, say Coburn's report oversimplifies and misrepresents their research. The shrimp-on-a-treadmill study was part of an examination of how marine animals will cope with increased environmental stress, and the laundry-folding robot mocked in Coburn's report was part of a project to create robots that can interact with complex objects. "I sympathize with the desire to identify things that are silly and not useful," a researcher tells LiveScience. "But I'm not sure he's identified a really practical strategy to distinguish between the two."

OBAMA ON RATS, FLEAS & DISCRETIONARY FEDERAL SPENDING
I have never been to a "Tea Party" but have wanted to go just to show my support of their ideas to our government officials who are not listening. I'm sure there are millions more just like me. Who cannot support what they are all about? TEA stands for "Taxed Enough Already"; IT IS NOT ALL ABOUT THOSE THAT MAKE $250,000 and over in annual pay as Obama wants to frame it. My family doesn't fall into that category. It is also our everyday taxes: food and clothing taxes, gas taxes, taxes on all our utility bills: water, electric, natural gas, phones; property and school taxes, taxes for driving and buying a car, homes, appliances, etc. TAXES, TAXES, TAXES - they have reached into everything we buy and use and then want to grab again in April for their coffers. The Tea Party says Stop Increasing Spending and Start Cutting, Stop Creating New Programs and Agencies! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT?
President Obama stated in his week-and-a-half-late-speech to the American people on our Libyan intervention, that this evil dictator (Giddafi) called his people "rats." Obama says race is a key component in the Tea Party; so he is calling Americans "racists." An elder New York Democratic Senator (Chuck Shummer) was caught on-microphone when he thought he was "off" saying that he was "instructed to call the Tea Party 'extremists'," and this weekend the same Senator said 'the Tea Party is a flea on the tale of a dog, and the tale is the Republican party and the dog is the Government'. So now Americans are being called fleas. I think the Tea Party must be like a tick that has gotten under the skin of Obama and the Democrats! What is so extreme about wanting to cut spending and live on the money you bring in from the American people which is too much already. LIVE WITHIN YOUR BUDGET LIKE WE FLEAS HAVE TOO! I say hats off to you fleas!
I have about 10% a month in discretionary spending and when I need to cut back I cut there. In February of 2009 President Obama submitted his budget for 2010 as required by law. (I cannot give you figures from the 2011 budget because it was never enacted by his democratic congress for some reason and is why we have had the week-to-week budget funding arguments since January of 2011.) The 2010 U.S. Federal Budget had about 60% of what they call "mandatory spending" (Social Security, Medicare, Unemployment Compensation, Welfare, and Interest on the National Debt); it had about 40% of what they call "discretionary spending." which was an increase of 13.1% over the 2009 federal budget. The State Department had an increase of a whopping 40.9% over 2009 (this is Hillary Clinton's Department)! The Department of Commerce had an even bigger increase of 48.4%!!! There was even $5 billion allocated for a new government bank: "the National Infrastructure Bank" which is proposed legislation and hasn't even been passed by Congress yet. They even allocated 105 billion dollars on "OTHER." This amount is more than any other department except defense. Defense is explicitly mandated by the Constitution. What power they must feel to spend us into oblivion and call Americans fleas when all the fleas want is for them to spend within their means. Unbelievable!
Below is an outline of what the government calls "discretionary spending." This was Obama's 2010 budget while jobs were being lost, unemployment was at record levels and Americans were screaming to stop spending:
Percentages in parenthesis show increase or decrease from the Bush Administration budget of 2009 (also WAY TOO MUCH SPENDING!)

OBAMA SPEAKS ON LIBYA
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?
