What Does the Future Hold

Obama was gracious during his victory speech. He spoke to a bright future and fixing America’s problems. But will he keep his promise to reach across the aisle and heal the nation? In a word; No.

People are already harkening Obama’s second term to that of Bill Clinton where he made his famous move towards the center. Clinton was able to compromise with the Republicans to get things done. It is wishful thinking to believe Obama will do the same. After all why should he move? Why should he do anything any differently than he already has? Why should he start keeping promises now?

He won’t and here’s why; Today is November 7th. Politically we are in the exact same place we were on November 5th. Obama is President, the Dems have the Senate and the Republicans have the House. We have no budget and unemployment is still high. This is Obama’s America. We are where we are because of his policies and he did nothing to keep us from getting here. In fact he drove us here. He has no incentive to change his approach to governing this nation and his approach is “Tax and Spend”. I see Obama taking this, the last opportunity he will ever have, to ram his reckless socialist agenda down this nation’s throat.

So what does the future hold? More lies, more cover-ups, more executive orders, more attacks on the Constitution, more attacks on individual liberties, more fiscal irresponsibility, in short more of the same.

Interesting Quote

I fouond this in my inbox this week. It has been one of those things flying round the net so I present it to you.

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."

There was some question as to whether the alleged source, a Czech statesman spoke these words. Did someone really say this? Well according to Answers.com:

This quote was translated into English from an article appearing in the Czech Republic as published in the Prager Zeitung of 28 April 2010.

So what do you think?

15 Year-Old Girl To Be Executed For Converting To Christianity; Asks Obama For Help

I found this at Atlas Shrugs via The Jawa Report.



Not surprising that it was Fox News that carried the story. No other media outlet dared mention it. Americans are blissfully ignorant of the plight of Christians in Muslim nations and China. Converts to Christianity are being murdered and most people in this country haven't a clue.

WWMLKD

Yesterday was the federal holiday known as Martin Luther King’s Birthday, a day set aside to honor the birth of a man who did much for the people of this nation; all people not just black people. I have posted about Dr. King before and have said before that many of the opportunities that I have had which led me to where I am today are due in part to the work of Dr. King.

So I was enjoying my day off from work and thinking about Dr. King and our first Black President (if you don’t count Bill Clinton who claimed the title for himself). President Obama would not be President now if it weren’t for the struggles of Dr. King. The President made speeches and served food in a homeless shelter and dedicated a copy of the Emancipation Proclamation to the memory of Dr. King.



I found the President’s activities curious. You see I think if Dr. Martin Luther King were alive today, he would have little to do with and little good to say about Barack Hussein Obama. Dr. King’s approach to social change was to make America actually live up to the beliefs it professed. A copy of the Constitution would have been more appropriately displayed in the White House since it gave and guarantees freedom for all men born in this country, not the Emancipation Proclamation. President Obama wants to force change down the throats of Americans. And he is not above back room deal making to forward his socialist agenda. He has little respect for the Constitution.

And that point would be the biggest split between Dr. King and President Obama. I believe Dr. King would insist that Barack Obama prove beyond all doubt that he IS an American Citizen and therefore qualifies to be President. I think he would call on the President to cease the closed door sessions of congress on Obamacare and live up to his promise of transparency in government.

Of course I can’t prove any of this. Dr. King was human and had his failings. Had he lived until today would he be as respected as he was in the late sixties or would he be a politically impotent has-been like Jesse Jackson and other survivors of that time?

Stevie Wonder: Obama's Approval Down Because ‘People Are Afraid of Change'

Well it seems more and more Americans are less happy with President Obama than before. His approval numbers continue to tank and this has the left scrambling to find excuses for it. The latest highly trained political scientist to chime in is Stevie Wonder. I was being sarcastic about the highly trained thing.

I really admire Wonder as an artist. His music has been an inspiration to me at many different points of my life. Many of his songs have made my short list of favorite tunes. BUT I do not believe his status as mega music star gives him any more insight on U.S. politics than anyone else. So why is everybody hanging on his every word about how Obama's declining approval rating is because people are afraid of change?

“I think as far as his [Obama’s] popularity decreasing, I think it’s because people are so used to, they’re so afraid of change and I think you have politics playing too much a role in what should be a natural, given that health care in this country needs to be improved and that’s just a reality,” Wonder told CNSNews.com in an exclusive interview.

And all this time I thought the reason President Obama was elected was because people were embracing change. How do you install a President based on change and then disapprove of him for the same reason? Maybe people disapprove of him in ever increasing numbers because his flawed vision of healthcare reform is just a bad idea? I guess Mr. Obama isn't the sunshine of everybody's life.

Well this certainly explains a lot of things!

Obama Does It Again

He opened his big mouth while overseas and spouted a major lie...

If you actually took the number of Muslims Americans, we'd be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world.

World News Examiner: Obama: US 'one of the largest Muslim countries in the world'

The article immediately pointed out that even if we had six million Muslims we don't come close to being "one of the worlds largest Muslim Nations".

Having six million Muslims would still put America behind Indonesia, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Turkey, Egypt, Iran, Nigeria, China, Ethiopia, Algeria, Morocco, Afghanistan, Sudan, Iraq, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, Yemen, Tanzania, Syria, Malaysia, Niger, Senegal, Ghana, Tunisia, Somalia, Guinea, Kenya, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Burkina Faso and Tajikistan in number of Muslims, which would make the US the 34th largest Muslim country in the world.

I will be interested to know how the Obama machine plans to spin Barack Obama's gaff. I think it is more bowing-ring kissing-sucking up by the President as he prepares to be awe struck in the Middle East by Islamic leaders again.

When America Needs to be Kicking Butt, Obama Kisses It

We've come a long way baby! We have the first African American President. And he bows to Islam. That is so wrong so many levels. First off I believe that as leader of the free world he should not have bowed to a dictator. Secondly there is no way a man who considers himself a Christian should have bowed to an Islamic leader.

I am sure many people, especially on the left, will try to play this down siting all kinds of diplomatic meeting protocols and past Presidential behaviors. But the bottom line is President Obama is suppose to represent America. He claims to be Christian so he is suppose to represent Christ too. In this instance he does neither.

Quote about the Stimulus Package

In an open letter disseminated by the Cato Institute, two hundred economists stated, "More government spending by Hoover and Roosevelt did not pull the United States economy out of the Great Depression in the 1930s. More government spending did not solve Japan's 'lost decade' in the 1990s. As such, it is a triumph of hope over experience to believe that more government spending will help the U.S. today."

Black Jesus Has Come

I had often joked about how moonbats had elevated Barack Obama to the status of god. Well the Dutch have really gone the extra mile. A Dutch newspaper actually depicts Obama as God.

But the picture in free newspaper De Pers probably best sums up the mammoth expectations of the world on President Obama's shoulders. It prints a rendition of Raphael's The Transfiguration with the first black US president depicted as Jesus, flanked by two prophets, the clouds looming behind him lit up. The headline reads "Black Jesus has come".

True feelings or paper selling hype? I thought the latter until I read a little farther.

The Dutch Crown Prince Willem-Alexander told a press conference in Dubai that the inauguration of Barack Obama was "probably more important than the release of Nelson Mandela".

The election of the United States' first black President was monumental but I seriously doubt President Obama faced the persecution Nelson Mandela did. I get the feeling that there are a great many people whose grasp of reality is tenuous at best.

Obama Love Fest Marred by Violence

Yesterday was the historic inauguration of Barack Hussein Obama as the 44th President of the United States of America. Liberals celebrated the Great Obama Love Fest worldwide.

In Sweden, African-American singer Cyndee Peters was hosting a show named "A Gala for Obama," featuring dozens of Swedish soul, jazz, hip-hop, gospel, folk and blues artists.

"Obama fever is all over the whole world," said Peters, 62, who grew up in North Carolina and New York. "I was congratulated by I don't know how many Swedes after the election. I think what he stands for needs to be celebrated."

"No one is doing their favorite songs or greatest hits," Peters added. "We're doing songs about hope."

In London, Americans could get free admission to Madame Tussaud's waxworks to see the new figure of Obama, and Queen Elizabeth II sent the new president a personal message of support. Parties were scheduled in dozens of venues, from ritzy hotels to local sports bars.

Not everyone ushered in the new era with celebration and well wishing.

In Iran, protesters burnt posters of U.S. President-elect Barack Obama and waved flags in support of Gaza, Reuters reported.

"Where are the freedom seekers?" one poster read that had the word "Gaza" on it and a picture of a weeping Palestinian, Reuters reported. Demonstrators waved Palestinian flags and chanted "Death to Obama," outside the Swiss embassy, and Reuters said it obtained pictures of Obama's image laid on the road for cars to drive over

So much for Mr. President's universal appeal. In some ways this is a very important development and one I am sure the MSM, Democrats and liberals will fail to see. Haters don't care if your black, white or brown. The Iranian protesters showed just as much hate for President Obama, as they did for former President Bush. What people should take away from this is that the "New Era" replete with warm fuzzies of "hope and Change" is over already. The image that the media had built up of President Obama as some universally likable bringer together of different interests was mocked, stoned, run over by cars and burned. The man in the Oval Office today is hated by the middle east Muslims like his predecessors were.  Let there be no delusions about that.

And please somebody, anybody tell me what this "New Era" is? How is it different from the old era?  When Bush took over from Clinton was that a "New Era" too? Or are only Democrats allowed to have "New Eras"?

I haven't said much of anything since the election. I attribute that to being so disappointed in the whole election and being really busy with other things.

I have been watching with interest the situation in Georgia (the state) and Minnesota. I can't shake this unclean feeling whenever I think about some of the political contests that took place and are still going on. Eww.

The thing that I watch with most interest is Obama's choices for his cabinet. Most are old Clinton cronies, a fact that has the President-elect taking criticism. So I want to ask all the voters for "CHANGE" if they feel they are getting what they voted for? Or do they feel like they are setting up for Clinton Term 3? I find it ironic that Obama says he needs to call on people with political experience. Obviously since he has none of his own.

Finally I have one last thing to say about Obama's eligibility to be POTUS. If he is a natural born citizen of the U.S. than why did he have his COLB sealed? Doesn't seem like the sort of activity a person aspiring to the highest office in the land would engage in. If he is NOT eleigible and he knows it, how will he reconcile his oath as President of the United States to uphold the constituion?  Again eww.

Dane Bramage the Hater Checking In

I got an intersting comment to my post election post.  Anonymous said...

Hurray, in spite of you haters out there, you are missing the historic significance. It was time for the birth of this social and political change in this country.You can't stop a birth. Sorry that you feel the way you do about the rest of your family. Maybe they recognize something more profound that you refuse to realize.How would your grandparents or your great-granparents feel about last night's
historic moment. Your G-Ma was born in the 1800's without the right to vote, and was double-discriminated against because she was born on a reservation.Stop drinking Haterade!

Yea! Yea! Black man is President! We've come along way baby! There. Significance duly noted.

Funny how I'm a hater because I oppose Obama. I don't oppose him because he is black. I oppose him because he supports abortion, he's inexperienced, and he is a tax and spend democrat. My family wasn't voting to make history. My family is mostly clueless, well my sister is clueless (he he). My family voted for Obama because he is black. I'm sorry but I got past the man's color on day one and evaluated the content of his character. Needless to say I found him wanting. If you voted for him because he's black or because you somehow felt this country had to prove something by electing a black president then you put him in office for the wrong reasons. Yeah Grandma had it tough, but those days are gone. Change has come and believe it or not the agents of change were not liberal Democrats. If you had bothered to listen to McCain's concession speech, you would have heard him mention how outraged people were when Teddy Roosevelt invited Booker T. Washington to the White House. The loudest objectors? Segregationalists all of whom were Democrats.

The historical significance is not lost on me. It was greatly diminished because it was so politicized. The nature of partisan politics has the Democrats breaking their arms patting themselves on the back as if they had some great hand in bringing this about. They didn't.

Historically Democrats have always opposed better race relations. They don't mention the contribution of Republicans to making Barak's moment possible. You know, men like Hiram Revels, the first black man elected Senator (of Mississippi no less) and a Republican. Your boy Barak would never had been heard of if Hiram hadn't paved the way. Democrats tried to block Hiram's entry into the senate. Nor have I forgotten that the staunchest opponents to Civil rights were Democrats.

Sure Barack can have his moment in history but it would have happened without him eventually. He should consider himself blessed to have been chosen but I suspect he is too full of himself and his "historical significance" to give credit where credit is due. And in January, when he starts his job as President of the United States, we will see if he is worthy of this historical honor. It would be a shame if the most significant thing of the Obama Presidency was the fact that he was credited with being the first black POTUS.

Its Over

Well they declared Obama the winner and McCain gave his concession speech.  Our next President will be Barack Hussein Obama.  Unless he is somehow declared unqualified because he is not a U.S. citizen. But what are the chances that a Democrat controlled Administration would launch an investigation into his citizenship.

Oh well. I would like to thank my family who overwhelmingly voted for Obama. NOT! They completely neutralized and reversed my carefully researched and thought out decision for McCain.  I will be more than happy when the economic roof caves in to stand and laugh at them and say "I told you so!"  Bitter? Oh just a tad but not to the degree moonbats were after the second bush victory. No Post Traumatic Obama Syndrome for me. 

What else, oh yeah. Gains in the senate. Ohio turns blue with democrats in control.  The only electoral joy I had today was the local casino bill went down in flames. In fact all the state and local issues went the way I wanted. Thank you Lord for small blessings.

So now what? McCain gave an awesome concession speech. The man has dignity and poise and said some very encouraging things. But unfortunately I was watching PBS and they chimed in afterwards with commentary using words like "rhetoric" and "archaic". In fact the whole MSM seemed lock in the midst of an Obama lovefest the entire day.

I guess that means for the next four ears at least, I will be scrutinizing and making fun of President Obama and  his administration.  I wonder if Comedy Central will put on a sitcom "That's My Obama". I'd think it would be funny but you know liberals.

Cracks Appear in the Obamalith Base

Poll shows McCain in 5-point lead over Obama

After being ahead most of the summer, Barack Obama's lead in the polls has evaporated. John McCain has a 5 point lead according to a Zogby poll. What could be happening to the Obamassiah's credibility? Hmmm, could be that all the policy reversals he's been going through.

"That hairline difference between nuance and what appears to be flip-flopping is hurting him with liberal voters," Zogby said.

I love how liberals think that reversing your position occasionally is considered "nuanced" but too much is flip-flopping.  So who is jumping the Obama ship? No one group in particular. I seems his support is eroding across all his followers.

The dip in support for Obama, who would be the first black U.S. president, cut across demographic and ideological lines. He slipped among Catholics, born-again Christians, women, independents and younger voters. He retained the support of more than 90 percent of black voters.

I have made it no secret that I do NOT support Obama nor will I vote for him. I do challenge my fellow African Americans to explain to me what it is exactly that Obama offers as a black candidate.  I mean aside from the historical footnote of being the first black POTUS, do the 90% of blacks that support Obama think that once he is in office, he's going to usher in some new age of black prosperity? Is he going to throw open the governmental coffers and pay every black person for all the persecution suffered at the hands of "Mr. Charlie" all those years?  Why would you support an absolute novice based solely on race? Inquiring minds want to know.

While I Was Away

Ever have one of those periods where no matter what you did things just continued to colapse? Or every time you took two steps forward you were forced one step back? Me too. And it started for me around the end of June and continues still.  I won't bore you with my whiny details, I'll just say that I had little desire to do anything but sleep.  Well I see a light at the end of the tunnel, and every fiber of my being tells me it is an oncoming train. Oh well. bottom line is I have gotten some energy back and I am fighting the malaise that had crippled me. So I am posting again. Yea me!

So what has been going on? Well Obama has been flip flopping like a Kerryfish out of water. First he will debate, now he won't. First he won't go to Iraq, then he went with the entire MSM in tow. First he found comments made by Bernie Mac offensive, then he didn't but then he sent a messenger around to say that he really did. It must have been the Angel of Death because Bernie died shortly after the Obamassiah expressed his disapproval.  I can't help but wonder if Barack also disapproved of Issac Hayes or maybe his messenger just made a pit stop in Memphis on the way back. Xenu rest his soul.

McCain has been gaining in the polls, or more precisely, Obama is slipping. I don't think John is doing much of anything and is improving. That scary fact is very revealing about this up coming election. Ennui abounds and no one seems concerned about little things like "issues". 

Meanwhile the Democrat led congress has reached it's lowest approval rating in history. 9%. Wow. I know a number of Americans, myself included, had to cancel vacation plans this year due to runaway gas prices and skyrocketing costs. I guess while they were staying around the house they took a good hard look at the job Pelosi and company's been doing and were not impressed. 

I think the choices for veep will be important. Hillary has said she did not want to be nominated but who really believes that? Of course her chances were slim and none. Barack has more sense than that. Standing between Hillary and the Presidency, he might as well have just painted a big bullseye on his back and just waited for her to plow through him to get to the oval office.  And you thought hunting with Dick Cheny was dangerous. 

Well the Olympics arrived and the U.S. leads in total medals by a slim margin over China. Though China has almost twice as many gold medals as the U.S.  I am glad for Mike Phelps though! Way to represent Mike! And I loved the interview with Mark Spitz. What a gracious athlete. Of course the old joke has to be put to rest now. You know the one, "How do you fill an Olympic Pool? Mark Spitz."  I guess some things you need to let go of.

I am looking forward to the conventions and I am sure I will have things to say about both of them.  So come back and hopefully I can keep the non-blogging blues at bay.
