I am beginning to think that all of Obama's appointments have either been in the Clinton White House or are involved in some shady and corrupt scandals. The latest falls into the later category. Former South Dakota Senator Tom Daschle is tapped to be the new Head of Department of Health and Human Services. And they have openly admitted they are aware he may have some "tax issues". It is reported that he failed to report $$128,203 in back taxes and $11,964 in interest, car service totaling more than $250,000, and also unreported consulting income of $88,333, in 2007. Well, let me tell you, when I don't pay my taxes, the government doesn't call it "tax issues" they call it failure to pay taxes and I get in trouble. In this case, it gets Daschle appointed head of Dept. of Health and Human Services. Funny how that works isn't it? How can be be the right man for the job when he is taking money fist over hand from speaking engagements at health care companies that would benefit from his appointment?
This isn't the first loon with "tax issues". Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, recently appointed by Obama failed to pay almost 35K in taxes as a result of what he called a "careless" error. Hasn't anyone heard of HR Block? Wow these people are either crooked or stupid. Well, in this case they could be both. If he keeps appointing idiots who go on to say stupid things, then I am going to run out of time in the day to write about them!

What's Good for the Goose???
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXIvmJ8xenc
Isn't that the saying? What's good for the goose is good for the gander? Which basically means if your president urges you to keep your heat low to conserve energy and save the planet then you would expect him to do so as well. Especially since our tax dollars are paying that electric bill. Well with Obama we have learned that he is the second coming, can walk on water, cure cancer and gets cold very easy.
Well apparently, Mr. President may want us to keep our thermostats down to save the planet and conserve energy but he gets a free pass because he is from Hawaii?? This week, his senior adviser, David Axelrod, was asked about the temperature in the White House and he didn't even bother to spin it. He said,
“He’s from Hawaii, O.K.?” “He likes it warm. You could grow orchids in there.” Now is that a slap in the face to all Americans or what? So what if he is from Hawaii? "
He was a Senator from Chicago, a city notorious for cold blistery winters. Where is the outrage? Where is Al Gore when you need him??
This is the double standard I was talking about before he was elected. If this were Bush, the tree huggers would be launching a full attack on the White House with demonstrations and somehow the ACLU would get called in and then Al Sharpton would show up and it would be a national headline. Every American would lash out for having to make such sacrifices when he did not. Well this isn't Bush anymore and we see this is the start to a long four years of excuses and get out of jail free cards. I wonder how long the public will stand for this type of hypocrisy at its finest? If you tell us what how to conserve then you damn well better get out your sweater Mr. Obama cause if I am freezing, you are going to freeze too!
In one more rant about double standards let's look at two similar scenarios. When Bush was in a foreign country and was locked out and couldn't get through the door and this week when Obama mistook a window for a door. The difference is the press. Bush was a laughingstock and made fun of. Obama's mishap was endearing and he got a pass cause "he's the new guy". IF anyone tries to tell me there is no media bias, then I will scream. It is such a double standard that it's not even funny. The American people aren't stupid. Hopefully their eyes will open to what's really happening in Washington and wont make the same mistake in 2012!

Here Comes the Acid Trip Again!
Ever have one of those dreams where you are trying to tell someone something important and for some reason they cant/wont hear you. And if they do not hear your warning then it will mean something terrible will happen? OK, that's how I feel about President Obama's stimulus bill. It is the most absurd and wasteful bill I have ever seen. Well I am sure that I could conjure up some others, but for the time being this is #1. Lets take a look at our tax dollars hard at work shall we?
In the 819 BILLION dollars he wants to spend, he has allocated funds for areas which will not immediately stimulate the economy. I am all for education and the environment and even prevention of STD's, but don't try to pull the wool over my eyes Obama! If this is a stimulus package that is supposed to rev up the economy, then make it so. Don't add things like polar ice caps research and carbon footprint recording! None of which are going to help me make my house payment or save my job! Dont disguise big government spending as relief. If you are pushing it through the House so the money can get out as fast as possible, then why spend it on programs over periods of years? Thats not relief. Thats called wasteful spending on another agenda.
$355 BILLION of the money isnt even going to be used until after the fiscal year 2010! How is that going to help us now???? I am not saying infrastructure, education reform and enviornmental research and protection aren't important but should be in a seperate bill. If you are going to stimulate the economy NOW, then use the money to stimulate the economy NOW! Our nation is on the brink of ruin and we cant really afford to funding some tree huggers right now. $345 Million is allocated to prevention of STD's. Thank you Obama, because I didnt realize that the root of this IMMEDIATE financial crisis was the clap! That will surely jump start the economy once all STD's are erradicated!!! I hope I live to see the day!!!! $150 MILLION is going to the honey bee insurance. Now thats one I cant understand at all. I cant wait to hear Pelosi explain that one.
Seems to me somewhere Bobby Jindal and Sara Palin are sitting back thinking about how the phrase "I told you so" fits onto a campaign button!

Here we go again
Ok, I admit it. I turned on MTV last night because I was remotely curious to see what Britney Spears had planned. I dont usually watch the station and havent for years because it hasnt played music vidoes since flannel was in style. Its all garbage and tired reality shows. Anyhow, thats neither here nor there. I watch this host-this British host-open the show and within the first 10 minutes he is endorsing Obama and slamming Palin and calling George Bush "a retarded cowboy." People in the crowd were cheering. Of course, because Hollywood is always going to be on the left wing bandwagon. But it angered me that here was this guy, WHO ISNT EVEN A US CITIZEN, publically endorsing Obama on behalf of the network and then slamming the daughter of Palin and people were cheering. It is making me sick to my stomach just thinking about it. Even after Obama asked that the familes be off limits they wont shut up. Maybe because the polls dont lie and they are scared now!!! So I shut off the tv.
Then I turn it back on with the intention of changing the station right as that British dude claimes that the pregnant daughter of Palin was a PR stunt! And the applause was less boisterous but it was there. Can you believe it? That someone would go on television and actually accuse our VP nomination of getting her daughter to get pregnant as a politcal move. That is the lowest thing I have ever heard. I hope that the intelligent people who were watching can see through that enough to make thier own decision based on facts, no matter who they choose.
I hope the Obama camp publically denounces this guy and his comments as well as MTV. As for me, I will be writing more letters. If they do not denouce him and his comments then it will be obvious to the previously ignorant people that the media is left winged biased and now the personal attacks will be more frequent because they have nothing else. I hope that Sarah Palin and her family have the fortitude to recognize this and the grace and dignity to brush it off and hold thier heads high. Because even though there are dirtbags like this in the world saying mean things about her, she has more support that Obama. Polls dont lie!
So to the host of the VMA awards, I tell you to go back to England because your not funny and we dont care what you have to say anyway. Plus I am not too worried about it because no one watches MTV anymore anyway. Those that do have about 5 years until they vote anyway. I dont feel old saying I dont recognize any acts from the show because all of the manufactured boy/girl bands that MTV pumps out each year arent music or artists. Its a business and they are all sheep. Anyone who claims the Jonas brothers are talented should be lined up and shot.

And they're off...
Sorry I missed the day after the McCain speech...
But it's a testament to his speech that I am still pumped! It was a great convention and I felt refreshed and re-energized. McCain really stepped up for this one. I have seen him speak live before and he isnt the best public speaker. But good public speaking does not a president make! Palin set the bar pretty high and he delivered. I thought he made all the right jibes mixed with specific plans that Obama never made in his speech. McCain and Palin wrapped it up on Thursday and now the Dems are scared. As I mentioned in a previous post, they will resort to lies and smut because they cant get thier candidate elected on merit or accomplishment alone. SO they will make a mockery of the political process by publically tongue lashing a 17 year old girl and a 22 year old DUI, never mentioning Obama's ties to a known terrorist and America bashing radicals. Cause those things cant be more relevant to the campaign than the child of the VP candidate. Come on!
So in addition to this posting and the boycotting of Perez Hilton, I also wrote a letter to the editor of Us Weekly letting them know they lost me as a reader with the lastest cover. You mean to tell me that magazine that is for mindless entertainment gossup read in the check out line and poolside is now touting itself as a political minded rag? One week Obama and Michelle grace the cover with a lovely article like he is the second coming of Christ. This week they pound on Sarah Palin with a scandalous and MISLEADING cover. They arent in the tank for Obama are they? Even the website was nasty to Palin! They had a breaking news article that called for her to loose her glasses. NOT one mention of her PROVEN record in Executive office, which thier precious demi-god does not have. I guess cutting wasteful spending, standing up to corruption, tax cuts are not enough to get a nice glowing cover like Obama who has been at most an absentee Senator while he has spent most of his time in Senate running for president.
So If you feel the same way I do, I encourage you to get your smutty entertainment gossup elsewhere and tell US Weekly that biased unfair reporting will not be tolerated and they should not try to pass themselves off as a polticial publication. They should stick to what they know-make up and celebrity babies.
So the polls will be out next week and you dont have to be a brain surgeon to know that while Obama has this hold on the Hollywood elite and radical groups, the rest of the country isnt buying his change message anymore because there is no substance to it. As I said before, speaking abilities do not a good president make. I want a man who fought and almost died for this country- a real patriot. Who will proudly wear the flag lapel pin and who will stand during the pledge of alligance. I want a man who wakes up everyday and goes to work for the good of the country-not self. Now that the conventions are over we can all see through the smoke and mirrors. Obama is just a man. He cant walk on water or save the planet. He cant even admit that the surge worked. He has only 4 years in office and no record of signifigant legistlation. While he may be a better speaker, he is not a better candidate.

Welcome to my First Political Blog
Welcome to anyone who happens to wander into my new blogging home. I have never done this before so bare with me. First and foremost I would like to use this blog as my way to express how I feel during this exciting political season. I encourage people of all walks to read and contribute, but note that this is not a site for hateful language. So if you want to excersize your right to free speech but in a hurtful or unproductive manor, then go to PerezHilton.com because he is a hateful person and seems to welcome hateful remarks...as long as they agree with his opinions. But thats a whole other story for another day.
So I am the base to which Sarah Palin speaks. I, like so many conservatives, am excited and charged up about her being nominated as McCain's VP. And NOT just because she is a woman. If she displayed all of the same character and views as a man, I would still support "him". So I dont think McCain's pick was reactive. I think he chose the right person for the job based on record and reputation as a reformer. I dont care that she has five kids, one with special needs. I think women have been working moms since the begining of time and I dont see how this case is any different. Michelle Obama is a strong working mom and the left biased media leaves her alone.
I dont care that she has a pregnant 17 year old daughter. We were all 17 once. Our parents told us to abstain and make sound choices but we remember what raging hormones and distain for authority felt like and made poor decisions. The important thing is that she isnt glamorizing teen pregnancy-she is accepting responsability. Its a sad fact that it happens in this country and no one is immune because they are the child of a politician. Lets not forget that Obama was born to an 18 year old woman. Again, a fact the left wing biased media doesnt talk about nearly as much as the child of the VP nominee, even after Obama called them off limits. It doesnt make Sarah Palin any more or less of a VP that she has a pregnant teenaged daughter any less than Obama's mother had him at 18 makes him more or less of a presidential candidate. What it shows is that the media is so biased and has ONE agenda and thats to get him elected no matter the cost.
You know for a fact that if McCain went after the Obama girls that the media would be up in arms calling for him to step down and the left would be appalled. Where are they when thier party members go after the Palin kids?? Joining in- thats where.
If you cant get your candidate elected based on accomplishment and merit alone, then your candidate shouldnt be elected. So they have resorted to smearing the children of the candidates and questioning thier parenting skills OH AND A 22 year old DUI by the husband of Sarah Palin. WHO CARES??? If the media really cared then they would compare the 22 year old DUI charge to the ADMITED cocaine use by Obama around the same time. Does that matter too? No. Its the point. If you make a big deal about a 22 year old conviction of the husband, then balance that with the admited drug use of the presidential candidate.
My point to this rant is this-the media is mostly left and biased and unapologetic about it. There is no more news reporting so much as there is smearing and attacking and that goes for both sides. This campaign is going to be about the media as well. It can be decided by them and thats a sad fact. It should be about telling the voters why thier candidate is the best choice, but instead, The left is so scared about the re-energizing of the base of the GOP that they have to resort to attacking ancient incidents and children to strike fear into the hearts of voters. Its something that the founding fathers would be be ashamed to witness.
So I am excited to hear what Sarah Palin has to say tonight. And if anyone cares to hear what I have to say or bothers to read this, then you will know how I feel. I hope she gets up and introduces herself to America and shows her proved record of Executive experience and reform as well as scold the media for calling her daughter names and making up scandalous rumors about her kids. I hope that people love her and feel bad for questioning McCain's pick. Mostly I hope that in this day and age when a black man can run for president without question that so can a woman...with kids....run for VP without questions being raised as well!!!!!
