President to Give Speech to Our Children

Now my understanding is that the President wants to address each and every student regarding the importance of staying in school and getting a great education.
The controversy that is going on over whether this should happen or not is based on things that have already happened with Obama. Number one in almost every speech that he gives, he never stays on that particular speech.
An example of that, he was giving a speech regarding the health care reform bill, and the next thing you know, he was talking about the stupid cops and that of course started a controversy.

There have been many instances when Barack Obama has been either on a television show or any talk type show, where he has made inappropriate comments. These comments have led people to believe that he could possibly be a racist. Now I’m not saying this is the case, but I'm also not saying that it's not. I have read his books, and I've read the things that he has written in his books. And in one of his books in particular, he talks about how school was not important to him and that picking sides and to “quote” him the black side was what he had to do. That is what he chose to do.

So my question, is his speech going to be lie in front of our children, talking about staying in school and the importance of it. But what if he vears off in a different direction? Also ask the question, this is the leader of the United States, telling our children, what is best for them rather than allowing the parents to do the parenting.

But what would he say if the child were to ask him what he thinks about smoking? We are trying to bring up kids that should be taught not to smoke and should be taught that it's not healthy for them. But yet, the president of the United States smokes. Now don’t get me wrong, that's his choice and if that's what he chooses to do there's nothing wrong with that. But in the same token, he can turn around and tell kids what's right and what's wrong when he doesn't fall those policies himself.

My concern as a parent is very simple and basic, If President Barack Obama stays on the subject about teaching the kids how important it is to get a good education. And the importance of getting a decent job to be to make decent money to the you can survive in this world, that will be great.

However, what I see as an adult, is a President, who is spending our money, who is putting us in debt for the quote good of the country, and yet millions of people at this point are losing their homes or jobs, their cars or stability.

These are people who went to school, who got a good education who went to college and who succeeded. Not just the poor. Now that’s not Obama's fault.

But is he making it better? I don't see it that way, what I see us going further in debt. What I see is the attitude of it's his way or no way. I find that Obama can speak very eloquently, and he can tickle your ears.. But if you dare question or disagree, then he becomes like another person.

Given the fact that the President was a junior senator and that's as far up in the political world he went before becoming president, given the history of his level of expertise, I would say at this point, he has his hands full just trying to run the country much less being worried about telling our kids what they should do what they should do.

Now I want you to hear me on is this; If Obama makes a speech to our kids and he speaks to the importance of staying in school and getting an education I am all for it. But as I stated I'm concerned that he vears away from that platform and subliminally put thoughts and ideas into our kids.

I say it this way because elementary school kids, junior high kids and even most of the high school kids don't really understand what's going, on their not at voting age. Their not paying attention, they still live at home and their parents take care of them. So this is of little concern for them.

So if Obama turns this into, maybe you should go into the military, maybe you should fight for your country, maybe you should vote for me in 2012.
If he turns this into his own political platform, which as stated, he is done manyy many times in the past the that is just wrong.

My thoughts on this, it reminds me of hunting, when you’re hunting, you hunt for the week, if you're a bully you pick on the smaller kids. Now being that Obama has not been doing too well with the adults and even the adults who voted for him, Isn’t it ironic that now he wants to speak to her children.

And the thing that gets me is that he wants to do this in a situation where the parents are not there. This will be broadcast during the day, while the children are in school. I think that's why so many parents have a problem with this, because we won't be there to say yeah that's a good point or no no no no let's turn this off. I for myself as a parent monitor what my children watch on TV. And now they're going to go to school and be forced to watch something from somebody that I don't totally agree with at this point that I don't see helping this country that I don't respect at this moment and he is going to be telling my child what he feels.

Yes, I have a problem that. My understanding is that after the broadcast. He has recommended that all students write an essay discussing how each student can help the president. Doesn’t that sound like reverse psychology? It just seems to me that there's more to this agenda than what's being proposed.

Let's keep one thing in mind, before Obama became president, while he was running, there was the big blowup over Reverend Wright, who Obama then denounced and said he didn't know that Reverend Wright was that way. And yet he was with that church for two decades. He was more than just a member. He was very active in the church during those 20 years. I'd have to question was Obama just sick every day that Reverend Wright gave his racist sermons?

Not to try bring all this up and cause more dissension among everybody, because I know you think this….I think that and I am not trying to stir up contentions. However, I think that issue here is that Obama says things in then takes them back or he says something and he says what he mean it that way.

You can not do that when you're dealing with children, because it sticks in their head, and they remember it. Reminds me of what Dr. Phil says, it takes a lot of “atta” boys to make up for one bad boy.

If Obama makes a comment that should not be made, and we know that he has a history of doing this and it affects the children….

That's not something that can just be erased. That's why I think that it's important that children do not see this at school, but actually have the opportunity to watch it with her parents. That way, we are there with them, and we can teach them and talk with them and discuss with them how they feel and take it from that point.

Stimulus promises not fulfilled when it comes to jobs

At the six month anniversary of President Barack Obama's "achievement"

...the $787 billion stimulus measure-

it's important to separate economic fact from fiction.

Although Democratic lawmakers were convinced to pass the massive spending bill
"without reading it",
the White House promised the stimulus would provide "an immediate jolt" to the U.S. economy. Thus creating millions of new jobs and keeping unemployment under 8 percent.

None of these promises have materialized.

If the stimulus is working so well, where are all the jobs?

There are 2 million Americans who have lost their jobs, the economy continues to contract and the unemployment rate is at 9.4% and looks like that will increase.

The government reported that mass layoffs are at a record high.

The reason why?

The stimulus is too slow and not focused on jobs. Only 10% of this stimulus money has hit the U.S. economy.
There is no way you can say...at least with a straight face that this is driving the economy to recovery.

Only 1/2 of the stimulus spending will make its way through federal and state bureaucracy by early 2011.

This of course will be long after the economy really needs it and it is just as the "critics" (as we are called) predicted.

Here is a breakdown of some of the spending:

5% is funded for roads and infrastructure.

Stimulus dollars will be wasted on things like buying new public art (rather than helping small businesses survive)

Far too much of the spending has been wasteful.

Everyday the media reports on some outrageous spending:

• $3 million turtle crossing in Florida
• $50,000 for a hand puppet project through the National Endowment for the arts.
• New office furniture for federal executives.
• In Union, NY the city was given $600,000 for a homeless program. The city doesn't have homeless issues nor a homeless program.

Is this how we want our tax dollars spent?

Borrowing more than a trillion dollars to pay for all this eventually will put a drag on America's recovery, along with increased energy prices from the cap-and-trade scheme and major tax increases on professionals and small businesses included in the health care reform bill.

I didn't say this? I never agreed to this? Did You?

STUMBLE THIS PLEASE!

Photos and Cartoons Poking Fun at Barack Obama

While doing research on Obama I continued to come across these hilarious pictures and just had to share a few with you!

Obama's Healthcare reform plan: The impact on small business

President Barack Obama and Republican lawmakers are arguing over the issue of whether the plan to reform health care would help or hurt small businesses.

President Obama says a study, by the White House Council of Economic Advisors, (notice by his own people and not the public) shows that small businesses pay more for employee health benefits than big businesses do.

The reason: "Because they lack the bargaining power that large businesses have and face higher administrative costs per person, small businesses pay up to 18 percent more for the very same health insurance plans-costs that eat into their profits and get passed on to their employees,"

(this may be true for many smaller businesses, however the smaller business generally does not carry insurance for employees) Why not change the "bargaining power they have rather than force them to pay for insurance? The insurance companies should have a cap put on them rather than the small business being forced to carry the insurance alone. If we changed the way the pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies "inflated" their prices we would not have this problem to begin with.

In his weekly address, Obama says lawmakers need to quickly pass his health care overhaul initiative, to relieve the burden on small businesses." (why is this such a rush? Are all the facts in?)

This is unsustainable, it is unacceptable, and it is going to change when I sign health insurance reform into law," said the U.S. president. This statement alone at least to me gets me as he makes it sound as if it is his way or no way and that he alone is going to "save" the world regardless of whether we like it or not.

What happened to voting? What happened to the people's voice?

In the weekly Republican message, Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers says the Obama plan will do more harm than good for small businesses and their employees. "Because the Democrats' plan is bankrolled by a small business tax, more jobs will evaporate," she said.

Rodgers, says the proposed reforms would also require small businesses to provide health care for employees or face higher taxes or fines.

Now if you have ever run a small business you know it is hard enough to pay for employees and make a profit much less be forced to pay for insurance for employees. I ran my own business for years and with this "Obama" plan I would have had to close my doors.

Rodgers also disputes the president's contention that his plan will allow people to choose their own doctors.

"It is a prescription for disaster, one that will put Washington bureaucrats in charge of your family's personal medical decisions,"

Obama's health care proposal has encountered several obstacles in the past few days, despite the president's efforts to advance it.

Senate Democrats said Thursday they could not meet the president's early-August deadline for passing the bill. Democrats in the House of Representatives disagree sharply about provisions in the legislation.

Meanwhile, President Obama is criticizing some Republicans for saying the defeat of health legislation would be an opportunity to damage him politically.

"Some have even suggested that, regardless of its merits, health care reform should be stopped as a way to inflict political damage on my administration,"

(again I want you to notice "My Administration" and not the people)

"I will leave it to them to explain that to the American people.

"Obama has spoken about health care reform at almost every opportunity in the past week.

He held a public forum on the issue in Ohio on Thursday.

The night before, most of a one-hour nationally-televised news conference focused on health care.

But the final question dealt with the arrest of an African-American college professor at his home in Massachusetts.

When Obama responded that the police officer had acted "stupidly," it set off a national controversy on race that has diverted attention from the president's efforts on health care reform.

Here is the story on this:

Here is most of what Obama said about the situation.

"I don't know all the facts. What's been reported, though, is that the guy forgot his keys, jimmied his way to get into the house, there was a report called into the police station that there might be a burglary taking place -- so far, so good, right?

... My understanding is at that point Professor Gates is already in his house. The police officer comes in, I'm sure there's some exchange of words, but my understanding is, is that Professor Gates then shows his ID to show that this is his house. And at that point, he gets arrested for disorderly conduct -- charges which are later dropped.

Now, I don't know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played in that, but I think it's fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry; number two, that the Cambridge Police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home; and number three, what I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there is a long history in this country of African Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately.

That's just a fact.
... That doesn't lessen the incredible progress that has been made. I am standing here as testimony to the progress that's been made.

And yet the fact of the matter is, is that this still haunts us. And even when there are honest misunderstandings, the fact that blacks and Hispanics are picked up more frequently and often time for no cause casts suspicion even when there is good cause."

Now

based on this out of Obama's own mouth...who is the one who seems to be predudice?

The bold comments I think are worth going over.

1. I don't know all the facts...then the question I would ask...then why respond? Why not just say I don't know all the facts and let it go? Instead he stirs up the pot.

2. I'm sure there is some exchange of words:...of course there would be conversation going on...but to say exchange of words the way he did makes it sound as if there was a problem right from the get go.

3. What role race played:..why would Obama even say this? Being White myself it makes me feel as if he is saying all "white" people have a problem with other races and therefore it must be "race related".

4. The cambridge police acted stupidly:..Lets go back to number 1...he did not know all the facts and only knew the small report that had been told to him. I wonder how many "white" people were arrested the same night that is not being mentioned? How does Obama know or not know how the man inside was really reacting to the police...maybe he was acting stupidly?

5. I am standing here as a testimony to the progress that has been made:..again I refer you to my earlier blog...Obama...you are not all black and were in fact raised as "white". What testimony is he? This again by his own words brings "race" into the picture as people who did vote for him (hopefully did not do so simply because he was black?)

6. The fact that blacks and hispanics are picked up more frequently and often time for no cause cast suspicion even when there is cause:...what? Now I am not saying that we live in a non predudice world or that the above statement may be true. What I am saying is ...What is Obama trying to do...stir up contention? How does he know that blacks and hispanices are picked up more frequently when he is not there to know why they were picked up to begin with?

I guess I could say the same thing for where I live only the shoe would be on the other foot....most officers in my town are black...so are they being racist by picking up more whites frequently?

If a crime is done...what difference does your skin color make?

People who makes comments like the above stated by Obama are the ones who are racist.

In fact the definition of racist is:

Definitions of racist on the Web:

based on racial intolerance; "racist remarks"

according to this, racist remarks...such as making a point that "white" officers pull over more blacks and hispanics...is racist.

a person with a prejudiced belief that one race is superior to others

In all of Obama's speeches he refers to himself in a superior way as in his laws, his administration...as if his ways are the best. Isn't this a racist definition?

According to a quote from Obama's book..."It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."-

"It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela."

Barack Hussein Obama has often said that Saul Alinsky was his best mentor and a true American hero.

Saul Alinsky shows his dark side in his dedication to his own book,

"Rules for Radicals": "Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins -- or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom -- Lucifer."

A must read: http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-71180


SAUL ALINSKY WAS A STRONG ADVOCATE OF BLOODLESS SOCIALIST REVOLUTION.

People....DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT IS GOING ON BEHIND THE SMILE AND THE WORDS THAT TICKLE YOUR EAR!

Do you really agree to this? Do you really promote this?

I NEVER AGREED TO THIS!

The Barack Obama books and controversy

In the earlier post it shows the amount of money Obama made last year ...and states this was mostly from the sales of his books.

Just to give you a few quotes from ...Dreams of my Father and Audicity of hope.

Let's look at them one-at-a-time:



"I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."-Truth!

This is an accurate quote from the introduction to Dreams from My Father. The book chronicles Obama's experience as the son of an African father and an American mother.

"I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race."-Fiction!

This quote does not exist in either of Obama's books.

"There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white."-Truth!

This is a quote from Dreams from My Father. It it in a section in which Obama describes a job interview with a man in Chicago. Race had been a part of their discussion and the full quote is, "There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white---he'd said himself that was a problem.

"It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."-Truth!

This one is also from Dreams from My Father. It is from a section when Obama was a college student and wrestling with his identity including as an African-American. The quote describes his observation of what was required among his fellow students.

"I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, Dubois and Mandela."-Truth!

This is from Dreams from my Father. The more complete quote is, ""Yes, I’d seen weakness in other men— Gramps and his disappointments, Lolo and his compromise. But these men had become object lessons for me, men I might love but never emulate, white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela."

"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."-

Five Books Written by Barack

The State of Black America
Whether he embraces it or ignores it, the mass media and the general public will probably think of Barack Obama as an African-American. As I mentioned above, he is of mixed heritage, but people have a hard time seeing past Obama’s dark skin. It seems that if you are black at all, you’re black. That’s why the National Urban League turned to then Democratic Senator Barack Obama to pen the foreword to this book.

Dreams from My Father
There are many lessons that we all can learn from Barack Obama, but the new American President is far from an all-knowing and all-seeing being. He needs help and he derives his inspiration from a variety of sources.
In this stunning memoir, Obama recounts his childhood and youth, being raised in Hawaii by his white mother and her parents. His Kenyan father was largely absent, so Barack found himself struggling with racial identity and tensions at school. Dreams from My Father describes his journey to become a community organizer, a civil rights lawyer, and a senator.

The Audacity of Hope
Whereas Obama speaks mostly about his personal life in Dreams from My Father, he tackles more political issues in The Audacity of Hope.
We already know that Barack Obama can be very charismatic in his speeches and his written word is no different. In this book, he discusses his “cautious liberalism”, citing his skepticism of big government, his support for religion (without imposing it), and his recommendations for health care reform. This is the man the United States elected as its President. His mostly centrist views are certainly refreshing.

Change We Can Believe In
Continuing the discussion started with The Audacity of Hope, Barack Obama dives in a little further with Change We Can Believe In. Published just two months before his eventual victory over John McCain, he describes what and how he will change America.
Bringing people together and being honest with the challenges ahead, Barack Obama exudes confidence in his ability to turn the country around. Take a closer look into this vision for America, including how he will try to fix the recession-laden economy, strengthen the middle class, and achieve energy independence.

Barack Obama in His Own Words
Editor Lisa Rogak collected this book of quotes from the Illinois Senator, offering us a closer look at Barack Obama’s politics and where he stands on a number of pressing issues. Obama is quite forthcoming with his views on gay marriage, the War of Terror, abortion, foreign policy, and more.

Do a little research and find out for yourself what he really believes.

Here is a little information:

Audacity of Nope: Supermax prison tells inmate that Obama's books harmful to national security
By Matthew Barakat, Associated Press Writer
On Friday July 10, 2009, 8:40 am EDT

McLEAN, Va. (AP) -- The federal government's most secure prison has determined that two books written by President Barack Obama contain material "potentially detrimental to national security" and rejected an inmate's request to read them.
Ahmed Omar Abu Ali is serving a 30-year sentence at the federal supermax prison in Florence, Colo., for joining al-Qaida and plotting to assassinate then-President George W. Bush. Last year, Abu Ali requested two books written by Obama: "Dreams from My Father" and "The Audacity of Hope."
But prison officials, citing guidance from the FBI, determined that passages in both books contain information that could damage national security.
A prison spokeswoman referred questions to the FBI, where a spokeswoman was looking into the matter Thursday evening.
The documents detailing the prison's rejection of Obama's books are included in court papers for a resentencing hearing scheduled later this month for Abu Ali, a U.S. citizen.
The rejection is just one indication of the harsh conditions imposed on inmates at the supermax prison, according to Abu Ali's lawyer, Joshua Dratel.
"Imagine an existence controlled by characters created by Louis (sic) Carroll, and that would approach that which Mr. Abu Ali faces each day for the duration of his sentence," Dratel wrote.
Abu Ali requested the books in August, before Obama was elected. In a short, handwritten note on a prison complaint form, Abu Ali argues that the two rejections "violate my 1st amend. rights."
The rejections, as well as other restrictions on family visits, prompted a hunger strike by Abu Ali that has since ended, Dratel wrote.
Prison officials cite specific pages -- but not specific passages -- in the books that they deem objectionable. They include one page in Obama's 1995 book, "Dreams from My Father," and 22 separate pages in his policy-oriented 2006 book, "The Audacity of Hope." It was not immediately obvious what passages might have been deemed problematic, though nearly half of the pages cited are in a chapter devoted to foreign affairs.
Supermax inmates, including convicted Sept. 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui and "Unabomber" Ted Kaczynski, are housed under the most severe restrictions in the federal prison system. Inmates typically are kept in their cells in solitary confinement 22 or 23 hours a day.
Abu Ali will be resentenced July 27, following an appellate court ruling that U.S. District Judge Gerald Bruce Lee improperly deviated from sentencing guidelines that recommended a term of life in prison.
