Obama's disconnect....'community organizing' instead of real jobs

There are many reasons for the failures and disconnect from the public of the Obama administration....TOO many lawyers is one....but the worst problem is his people have no experience in the real world you and I live in.

Neal Boortz puts it this way: "Barack Obama himself lacks any real private sector experience. We already knew that one. In fact, if you read Obama's books you will find that he referred to his brief stint working in the private sector as "working behind enemy lines." Isn't that just so special? The sector of our country where people work together in voluntary collusion Obama calls "the enemy.' Obama much prefers the sector that works through force and coercion.

Well, that's Obama; but what about his key advisors? What about his cabinet? Just take a look at this graph. Here you will see the private sector experience of key cabinet members dating back to Teddy Roosevelt. You will see that the average runs somewhere around 50%. This would mean that from the days of Roosevelt forward key presidential cabinet members had spent about 50% of their working lives in the private sector. But ... take a look at Obama's cabinet. The figure is about 8%. It's the lowest of any president.

Here is truly a man who has nothing but complete disdain for the private sector. It is, after all, the "enemy." Maybe this explains why Obama and his administration seem to believe that government is truly the answer to all of our problems."

Health Care Provisions Still Soft on Illegal Aliens

Conclusion from the Center for Immigration Studies Dec. 2009

Both the House and Senate health reform bills inequitably treat American citizens in relation to illegal aliens. The latter are all but guaranteed to obtain health benefits at taxpayer expense, possibly at costs into the hundreds of billions of dollars (paid for nearly exclusively by taxpaying Americans).

The few eligibility verification requirements that do exist in each bill fall well short of what would be needed to prevent illegal aliens from gaining access to taxpayer-funded health care on top of the emergency care they already receive. In addition to greatly expanding taxpayer liability and growing government’s role in the health sector of the U.S. economy, the legislation amounts to a reward for illegal aliens and another power boost to the magnet that draws illegal aliens.

Poll:71% Angry at Federal Government!(46% Very Angry!!)

Seventy-one percent (71%) of voters nationwide say they’re at least somewhat angry about the current policies of the federal government. That figure includes 46% who are Very Angry.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that only 27% are not angry about the government's policies, including 10% who are Not at All Angry........

The data suggests that the level of anger is growing. The 71% who are angry at federal government policies today is up five percentage points since September.

Even more stunning, the 46% who are Very Angry is up 10 percentage points from September.

Another spying scandal at Gitmo

A number of Arabic and Pashtu interpreters at the terror-war detention center at Guantanamo Bay are under active investigation for omitting valuable intelligence from their translations of detainee interrogations, among other security breaches. This could taint some of the evidence at the "9/11 trial" in New York and proceedings against other detainees.

Remarkably, the Pentagon never cleaned up the "mole infestation" at its highest-security facility after the FBI busted a Muslim spy ring at Gitmo in 2003.

The 2003 probe involved at least two Arabic interpreters with high-level security clearance. Senior Airman Ahmad al-Halabi, a Syrian native, and former Army linguist Ahmed Mehalba, an Egyptian native, were later convicted of stealing or mishandling classified documents.Favorite places to visit![snip]

A note from MIKE CUTLER, former INS agent about this:
"Today’s news article shows how interpreters, in acting as the eyes, ears and mouths of military, law enforcement and intelligence officers at Guantanamo have gained access to the terror suspects being confined at Guantanamo. The news report makes it clear that this access enables the interpreters to alter or eliminate certain responses that those in custody have given when questioned by our officials.

These duplicitous interpreters have also disrupted the interrogation process by passing information to the detainees at Gitmo and have provided them with advice on how to make allegations against their interrogators and otherwise undermine efforts aimed at punishing those who slaughtered three thousand innocent victims on September 11, 2001 and possibly thwart future terrorist attacks.

The well documented failures of USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) to create a bureaucracy that provides appropriate immigration benefits to those aliens who are truly deserving and entitled to those benefits while identifying, investigating and denying the applications for benefits filed by aliens who are committing fraud and/or are involved in terrorist or criminal schemes that endanger the lives of our citizens and compromises the security of our nation, make it crystal clear that USCIS needs to be be made to function as more than a high-speed assembly line where its employees are praised for moving the applications quickly and where the integrity of the process is all but ignored, and in fact, is all too often seen as an impediment to apparent primary goal of clearing up backlogs of applications.

At USCIS it would certainly appear that those in charge of that inept and beleaguered agency are instructing their subordinates, “Damn the fraud and danger to national security, full speed ahead!”

• 63% Say Political Correctness Kept Military From Preventing Ford Hood Massacre

  Sixty-three percent (63%) of U.S. voters say political correctness prevented the military from responding to warning signs from Major Nidal Malik Hasan that could have prevented the Fort Hood shootings from taking place.

• A message to my fellow legal immigrants: stop complaining and start accepting American culture
  The Collins Report ^ | November 29, 2009 | Cindra Crisman
  

  Being a new immigrant myself, it is irking to witness other new immigrants- complaining about living in America. Seriously, with such unhappiness, why not just pack up and leave?

  Learning from the History of America the early immigrants had their own obstacles to overcome and managed to idealize their own beliefs into the American way of living and their success inspired others to follow suits. However, the new Immigrants argued because the European origins of the early immigrants had no cultural barriers on the American landscape, which simplified their assimilation.

  These “complainers” whine because European culture has become standard for America these new immigrant late arrivals complain of being placed at a disadvantage. This is nonsense.

  European culture isn’t the only cultural value in America. Hardworking, family lives and religion beliefs always have a place. Europe is not the only place that cultivates determination and discipline to succeed. These are principals fundamentally esteemed by every one from every race in every place and are responsible for creating America. The immigration from every region of the world into America has integrated multiple cultures into our lives and created the American Culture.

  The new Immigrants should value our American Culture as their own, for discrediting it only further eroding their own self esteems.[snip]

A Renaissance , Not a Revolution - Bringing Morality back to America

"You been farmin' long?"

~~~~~~~~~~

renaissance n. A rebirth or revival

It’s amazing what goes on in the middle of the night when most of us are sound asleep. After a unfortunate encounter with a Brown Recluse Spider crawling over my bed, and my misguided attempts to kill it with a slipper and then chemicals, I had to abandon my bedroom. So I turned on the radio, unable to get but 3 stations, 2 of them in Spanish, and Coast to Coast Am.

I ordinarily don’t listen to conspiracy theories and worries of boogymen I can do nothing about, because as our patriot friend, Terry Anderson says, we have obvious threats in our face every day to deal with and little time to do it. On his radio show, he reminds us,

“If you ain’t mad, you ain’t payin’ attention!”

Gerald Celente, economist and Trends Forecaster was a guest. The conversation fell on the facts of what made America great. We have lost our morality and most of us have fallen into the ‘bailout game’ being handed us by our current leaders, from the poor to Wall Street, leaving the few middle class Americans to support both. As Alexis de Tocqueville stated,

"America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good,
America will cease to be great."

Celente went on to explain the severe economic downturn he, and many of us, had long predicted and the true, much higher figures for unemployment. History shows, as he said, our greatest times were when we didn’t subscribe to “Too big to fail bailouts” of GM, international bankers, the production killing fiasco of ‘Cap and Trade’ and on and on being financed by the over burdened taxpayers. NAFTA, and other cheap labor ‘trade’ agreements that promised more jobs, more prosperity for all Americans, which brought along the devastation of unlimited legal and illegal immigration and outsourcing of jobs. How’s that workin’ out for ya these days? The only candidate worth considering in 2008, Duncan Hunter, was right and the only one addressing such issues!

What made us great was.....

...Not Wall Street but MAIN STREET
....Not international agribusiness, poison food imported from China or Mexico,
but FAMILY FARMS
....Not WalMart, but MOM and POP small business

Celente discussed the recent TEA party protests , believing they are the beginning of a new era of citizen enlightenment, a return to the principals and morality that elevated the USA above all other nations, much to the dismay of what Obama thinks of such Citizen activism.

Many of us warned that Barak Obama and his ilk were ‘socialists’. Celente
believes the situation is far worse. He calls where our government has dared to venture, ‘Fascism ’ to describe the Democrat congress and Obama globalist regime, with much help from far too many pay-to-play Republicans.

And to our detriment, it describes the current governing climate.

fascist n.- A totalitarian philosophy of government that glorifies the state and nation and assigns to the state control over every aspect of national life.

From banking and mortgages to auto manufacturing and health care, the government is running the show that should be left to the American private sector. If you can’t or won’t pay your mortgage, Obama even wants to be your landlord.

Celente, agreeing with many conservatives, spoke to the fact that we must break the two party globalist/media juggernaut controlling our elections, preventing good candidates a voice, and allow another party to rise to combat those powers leading us into tyranny and anarchy.

Some useful idiots scream, “Throw ALL the incumbents out!”.....but these misguided citizens, like the ones I wrote about in yesterday’s TownCrier article, can’t name their own representatives, much less be aware of how they vote on vital issues. They want a revolution! They NEED enlightenment and a lesson in history, some real education the schools won't provide, to escape from their ignorance. While I agree that the great percentage of our elected officials do not represent us, but rather moneyed special interest groups, there are a handful who actually want to see the survival of America. We better learn who they are.

But the night was not all economic or political gloom and doom. As I gazed out the window into my yard in the moonlight, I saw a bird gently glide onto a trellis. He bobbed and postured, encouraging his clan of Screech Owls to join him in my bird bath. They seemed to not have a care in the world, realizing they had found safe sanctuary and relief from the 100 degree heat of Northern California of the previous day. I always wondered what happened to the water in that bath every night!

So go outside, lean against a tree, touch the earth, let the sun shine on your soul. And thank whatever God you worship for the gift of being one of the small percentage of the people on this earth lucky enough to be born an American.

These are the Rules: A Baker's Dozen by AuntB

Many are borrowed; it's hard to improve on perfection. I'm pulling a Ghandi here as well. He once said to judge him by his most recent comments; that he, too, may learn some things and change his mind on a given subject!

1. Protect the innocent.
2. Never ask someone to do something that you are not willing to do yourself.
3. Leave it like you found it, or make it better.
4. Keep your promises and pay your bills - on time.
5. SILENCE IS CONSENT.
6. Slavery didn’t happen because people are black or white. Evil isn’t particular about color.
7. Be careful what you wish for.
8. NEVER LET ANYONE TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN’T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
9. Greed is more devastating than poverty.
10. Your rights stop where my nose starts.
11. You are only as strong as what you stand next to, that from which you draw your strength.
12. Youth and strength are no match for old age and treachery.
13. Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and annoys the pig!! (this is the one I can't seem to get right! )

JOBS?? We don't need no steenkin' Jobs!

A Russian arrives in New York City as a new immigrant to the United States. He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says, "Thank you Mr. American for letting me into this country, giving me housing, food stamps, free medical care, and a free education!" The passerby says, "You are wrong, I am from Mexico."

The man goes on and encounters another passerby. "Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in America."

The person says, "I not American, I Vietnamese."

The new arrival walks farther, and the next person he sees he stops, shakes his hand, and says, "Thank you for wonderful America !" That person puts up his hand and says, "I am from Middle East. I am NOT American." He finally sees a nice lady and asks, "Are you an American?" She says, "No, I am from Africa."

Puzzled, he asks her, "Where are all the Americans?"

The lady checks her watch and says, "Probably at work."
