How can Americans admit that voting for someone with absolutely no experience at all - a former ACORN street agitator - someone who gravitated to Marxist professors and communist groups in college - someone with no record of any accomplishment at anything - and someone who ran for office on slogans - How can they ever admit that such a vote might have been a mistake?
Do you see our economy improving? Are you impressed by the astronomical debt your children will inherit? Are you looking forward to seeing your health care rationed and taxes on energy so product prices will go through the roof to pay for it all? Did you ever imagine the US government nationalizing private banks and automobile manufacturers? Or giving millions of houses to people without jobs?
Massive allowances are provided for unions at the expense of private investors, while a bunch of appointed czars, who bi-pass Congress/Senate dictate new rules (laws) from the White House.
Can you say: "We're socialist now" ?
Have you noticed Obama's weakness with North Korea's nuclear build-up? Or how quiet the White House was while Iran silenced its people with bullets? But boy, did you see how Obama instantly went on TV to support that socialist from Honduras, Jose Manuel Zelaya? A man who was ousted by Honduras Supreme Court for trying to illegally stay in power like Hugo Chavez, the dictator who trashed the US in a one-hour speech while Obama smiled & applauded.

On Cuba...
I am a naturalized American citizen and a Viet Nam vet. I believe the millions of Cubans who came to this great country as political refugees like myself, who assimilated the culture and became productive, tax-paying, law-abiding American citizens, deserve better than a slap in our faces. If relations are to resume with Cuba, those criminals in power should be brought to justice, in a court of law, before a single dollar is exchanged.
I arrived in the USA in 1962 at the age of 12 with only my mother. My father, who traveled with us, was beaten and sentenced to 15 years in jail, without a trial, for merely questioning the abuse we were subjected to while at the airport. My father, a professional man, who never subscribed to violence, died in a Cuban jail after years of torturous incarceration.
How can a US President do this to the freedom-loving Cubans who fled the horrors of Fidel Castro? My father was a professional man and my mother, a certified paralegal - needless to say, we lived quite comfortably, yet my parents, like many other Cubans, were willing to trade their homes and wealth for freedom. My father gave up his life so my my mother and I could be free.
Obama's intellectual capacity is overrated. His community organizer mentality is clearly exemplified when he approved for the Congressional Black Caucus to travel Cuba and "kiss and make up” with very same communist leaders who tortured and killed millions of Cubans and consistently violate all principles of human rights.
I can understand Obama’s "passion" for Castro. During his presidential campaign, Obama uttered the exact same Lenin-like phrases Fidel used to defraud the Cuban people. Phrases like, “economic equality” and "spread the wealth”. In fact, in his first 100 days in office, Obama has engaged in the same tactics Castro used in his early days in power. Nationalizing the banks and dictating what private companies can and cannot do (for the good of the country, of course) – However, by 1962 Castro had declared himself a communist, seized the entire nation and jailed or executed any one who opposed him. I hope Congress will not allow Obama to continue in Castro’s footsteps.
To have a president of the United States of America, the torch of freedom and human rights, appease the brutal dictatorship in Cuba is beyond appalling. It's a colossal symbol of the turn our country has taken towards socialism and away from the righteous principles this amazing nation was founded.

The Energy Tax....
The government is getting ready to squeeze the public once again by taxing energy. Manufactures will in fact, (one way or another) pass the extra cost to consumers.
The cover up for this new scam is the environment, forget Global Warming, since it's been proven that the planet is actually getting colder, the term Global Warming has been replaced by Climate Change. That phrase will work whether the temperatures go up or down.... but it's all smoke & mirrors.
New energies like solar and wind have been proven (without the shadow of a doubt) to be a waste of time & money. In fact, it costs less to keep the wind turbines off-line than on. It seems that when wind dies down, a gas-powered motor automatically kicks in to run the "fans", but at start up, these motors consume more gas than when they run continuously, so when the "fans" are run 24-7 by gas-powered motors, it costs less than when it's a combination of wind and gas. Solar panels are as efficient - they are huge, but do not produce sufficient energy - they're fine to heat a swimming pool, or a light up few lamps, but cannot provide the amount of energy a single household consumes on a daily basis, so what's the point?
France is 75% nuclear powered. So why are we toying around with these ridiculous alternatives? Well, for one, General Electric backed Obama and became one of the "advisors" to the Obama administration and guess what? General Electric is the leading manufacturer of wind powered turbines - it's no coincidence the GE also owns the software that will be used to manage Socialized Healthcare.
It's all BS, and excuse to have more government control and more taxation. Ironically, although the Democrats pride themselves as the party of the little people, it is exactly the little people who will feel the cost of this new energy tax on manufacturers. We'll see the cost go up in just about everything produced in the USA. The alternative will be to have these goods produced over seas and then have democrats say the greedy corporations are sending jobs overseas....
The meanest, most greedy corporation of all is the US government. Do not be fooled for a second.

Told you so
I hate to say it, but "told you so". Who am I chiding? This time it's the mining industry. They believed Obama when he said he was going to take care of them, despite saying he was going to kill the industry (yes, that's a broad paraphrase) to others. The Mine Worker's Union endorsed Obama.
There's a lot of "told you so's" to dish out these days. People chose to believe whatever felt good. They bought into the hype and now that Obama is doing exactly what he said he'd do, they're screaming. Well, some are screaming. A lot of my fellow Americans aren't paying one bit of attention to what's happening to our most wonderful country.
I hate to say it, but it's sad.
I'm listening to Sting singing "It's Probably Me" as I type. Beautiful song, but that phrase "I hate to say it" is influencing my writing.
I hate to say it, but it's probably [not] me... it's Obama.
Obama’s EPA Puts Thousands of Mining Jobs at Risk
(CNSNews.com) – Expressing “serious concerns” about the environment, President Barack Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday announced it was putting mountaintop mining permits on hold. Environmental activists cheered the decision, but the National Mining Association warned that the EPA’s action may eliminate high-paying jobs in a relatively poor area of the country.
Congress set to pass wilderness law
Congress is on the verge of passing the most sweeping U.S. wilderness land protection law in 15 years, environmentalists say. The U.S. House of Representatives was set to vote Wednesday on a bill that would declare more than 2 million acres of public land to be wilderness areas in which logging, mining and motorized vehicles would be banned, USA Today reported.Interior Department spokeswoman ...

The Obama administration has begun to put the brakes on the damaging practices of strip mining in the Appalachian Mountains, sharply criticizing two permits — one of them in Kentucky — and promising to closely scrutinize many more.

Obama to North Dakota: Don't worry about cap and trade
WASHINGTON - North Dakotans worried about the state's robust coal mining and power generation industries shouldn't fear that it will be crippled by a federal "cap and trade" program to regulate greenhouse gases, President Barack Obama said Monday.
