Obama lectured state governor’s today, telling them that yes, they can come up with their own health care plan as an alternative for Obamacare, but only if that plan is just like his. Confusing? Any alternative plan submitted by the states would have to fulfill the illegal mandates of Obamacare, a law that has already been struck down. If he thinks he can do an end around the court decisions by offering this non-concession, keep in mind that the law already allows states to do this, although they wouldn’t be able to to so until 2017, when the law would be so firmly entrenched that any alternative would be meaningless.

Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon and Massachusetts Republican Sen. Scott Brown have proposed moving this up three years, to 2014. There is some good and bad to this proposed legislation. First, if Obamacare is unconstitutional anyway, why submit any plan to Obama for inspection? Yes, Obama would have to inspect the plan and make sure that it is as bad as the unread legislation now on his books, but illegal in the eyes of the law. The good part is that states probably should come up with their own version of health care overhaul, but do it in a way that is the right of states to do so. Having Obama destroy the health care system by illegal law is not the way.

All the wrangling aside, what Republicans have to do is take the White House in 2012, and a few votes in the senate, and Obamacare dies. We’re that close. So even without the court decisions, this thing could be killed by a new president signing legislation to repeal it. The time is now though, because once this thing is implemented, trying to extract yourself from it will be very difficult. That was the design.

What got me is how Obama talked about this law as if it were legitimate, as if it hadn’t been struck down. He is once again showing his contempt for the law and ruling by fiat. He had a few other things to say today, sticking his nose into private state matters such as the collective bargaining debate in Wisconsin. Even as federal workers have no collective bargaining rights by law, he rallys for those same rights in individual states. In order to keep the best, he says. Collective bargaining is what locks in the worst. Not that there aren’t good union folks. Of course there are, but collective bargaining agreements lock in guarantees for the bad along with the good. That’s why the feds don’t have such agreements. He also made an appeal to fear by suggesting that police and firemen would leave if they weren’t rewarded properly for their work. Newsflash for Obama. Scott Walker excluded police and fire from his collective bargaining legislation.

Obama won’t let the facts get in the way though. He won’t let the law get in the way either for that matter. It was classic Obama on display today. Does anybody want four more years of this?

The Defense [...]]]> If you think Obama cares about the rights of gays, guess again. He could care less. This is a test case to see how far he can go in ignoring the rule of law and getting away with it. And maybe snap up a few votes before 2012 at the same time.

The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), signed into law by Bill Clintion in 1996 basically affirms that the institution of marriage is between one man and one woman. Several lawsuits have been filed challenging the law, specifically section 3, where it states that the federal government will not recognize gay marriage in any matter of law. It is the responsibility of the Justice Department to defend federal law in court. Barack Obama has ordered the Justice Department not to defend this particular law, because he has unilaterally decided that it is unconstitutional.

That is correct. Obama has installed himself as a the Supreme Court Justice and ordered Eric Holder not to defend the law in court. This essentially leaves the law defensless in a court room. What would be your chances of winning a case without any defense at all? Eric Holder scrawled a letter to John Boehner, and made it clear that it is they that will define the law now.

“[T]he President and I have concluded that classifications based on sexual orientation warrant heightened scrutiny and that, as applied to same-sex couples legally married under state law, Section 3 of DOMA is unconstitutional,”

This issue goes far beyond gay marriage. That’s the straw man. Obama doesn’t care. This is about Obama nullifying the laws of the land as he sees fit. If he can get away with this, what else will he try? We’ve already seen him redefine federal law in his attack on Arizona. We’ve seen him ignore law with his illegal drilling moratorium in the gulf. We’ve actually seen this latest tactic before. His refusal to prosecute the Black Panthers after their felony voter initmidation antics turned out to be a success for Obama. He got away with it. It’s part of his selective civil rights defense. Had those been the White Panthers we would have seen a very different Justice Department. We can only speculate about other actions he has taken that will never make the headlines.

Obama isn’t sitting around to see what happens with DOMA though. After ignoring a judge’s ruling in Florida that invalidated his health care takeover, he had another goon judge in D.C. reinstate it. Her logic (sit down for this one), is that the government can force you to buy insurance, because deciding not to buy is a decision-an economic decision, and therefore regulatable under the commerce clause. Yes, doing nothing is economic activity. You can’t make this up.

So far, a little more than a few peeps from the Republicans. With such weak opposition, Obama is moving full steam ahead with his agenda. What’s next? Four year terms for the president? Will that be unconstitutional? Not observing sharia law? Refusing to join a union? Obama is ruling by fiat, and if Republicans can’t find a decent candidate that can take advantage of the campaign trail gifts Obama is presenting, then they don’t deserve the White House. The ramifications for the rest of us will be devastating. We may not survive another two years of Obama, much less six.

Obama is in India right now, spending millions of dollars American cannot afford on a lavish trip that includes staying at the most expensive hotel in Mumbai, Taj Mahal, the site of a Muslim massacre where 31 innocent infidels were slain. al-Obama chose to stay there.

But in discussing jobs, this is where Obama went off the rails. Jobs are being shipped to India by American companies hand over fist. According to Obama though, that just isn’t the case. Once again, his arrogance showed, and he suggested that Americans were sterotyping India and that they just didn’t understand the reality.

Seeking to dismiss all “old stereotypes,” Obama said the relationship between the countries is “creating jobs, growth, and higher living standards in both our countries. And that is the truth.”

Funny how Obama had to make clear that he wasn’t lying. It won’t work though. He is lying. In fact, he made these statements as he sat surrounded by executives from American companies. Now what would those executives be doing there with Obama? They were helping him spin the fact that jobs are being outsourced to India at the expense of Americans, not as a benefit.He hand picked them come over there with him.

Obama also suggested that India was actually creating jobs in the United States.

“Just around this table you’re seeing billions of dollars in orders from U.S. companies, tens of thousands of jobs being supported,” he said. “We’re a potential that has barely been scratched.”

Not even Obama’s supporters believe that. Those orders are coming from companies that boast formerly American jobs. He knows that, but he wants you to believe something else. Sure jobs are being supported. Yes, when that minimum wage guy that sold you your Chinese made cell phone can’t help you, the call center in India is available. Of course Obama failed to mention that the call center used to be in the United States. So did manufacturing for that matter. Neither are likely to come back either. Yet Obama brags about some trade agreement that will allegedly create 54,000 jobs. No mention of the millions that have already been lost. It was an insult, but since we don’t understand the global economy like he does, we should just listen to him. And that’s the truth.

Unfortunately, we’re unlikely to get much help from Republicans on this issue. The false mantra of free trade has been championed by them for years. But there’s nothing free about competing with slave labor that will do your job for pennies per hour. Obama’s social justice scheme aims to balance that out though. There was very little talk about India’s trade and investment restrictions. As the standard of living rises in places like India, it will correspondingly be lower in the United States, because economies like India and China are built on U.S. wealth. Without the massive outsourcing of American jobs, India would collapse like a house of cards, as would China. Obama is going to make sure that won’t happen, and he is not likely to face Republican opposition on that part of his agenda.

So Obama once again has lied, insulted Americans,and guaranteed that outsourcing will continue unabated. No civilized country can compete with the kinds of wages that are paid in India. Expect the unemployment rate to remain high in the United States and expect the jobs that are available to pay less. After all, India can do it much cheaper. And if no Americans can be found to do it cheaper, then they’ll just ship in those that will.

A new AP poll shows that 51% of voters say Obama has to go in 2012, including 47% of Democrats. This is [...]]]> Just about everyone has had it with Barack Obama, and apparently, that includes Democrats as well. While he still has the mainstream media slobbering all over him, the people are getting wise.

A new AP poll shows that 51% of voters say Obama has to go in 2012, including 47% of Democrats. This is a guy that had a 70% + approval rating when he was installed in office. But with a failed stimulus under his belt, Obamacare rammed down the throat of America against their will, and a post racial country torn in half, the magic has worn off.

Obama has described himself as a global citizen, and he has demonstrated that, to the detriment of America. His worldwide apology tours, his deference towards Islam, the coddling of the United Nations and all the goons they call their own, the Wall Street payoffs, the numbing corruption in the administration, the racism, the dubious czars, the Supreme Court picks that were just as unqualified as he is, the open borders mantra, and the attack on sovereign states that dare to oppose his agenda is not setting well with the American public. To say he’s done nothing would not be accurate. He’s done plenty, but none of it constructive.

Keep in mind that even when he got the nomination, half of the Democrats actually wanted Hillary Clinton. Not that she’s any prize, but if Obama is going to face Democratic opposition in 2012, don’t be surprised if it comes from her. After all, becoming president is her one and only goal, and it was an unqualified Barack Obama who took it away from her. It seems hard to believe that someone who scratched and clawed her way to the brink of victory would now be satisfied to be the servant of the one who pulled the rug out from under her. The presidential election is still a few years off, but look for manufactured dissent in the Democratic camp that will once again propel Clinton to another run at the office.

This time though, things will be quite different. Clinton’s popularity is essentially unchanged since 2008, while Obama is heading in the opposite direction. If he continues with his social justice agenda, you can be sure that more than 47% of the Dems will want him gone.

First things first though. There’s a pretty important election coming up next week,and that may well be the beginning of the end for Barack Obama. If all goes well there, then what the Republicans put up in 2012 will have to be much better that what they threw out in 2008. In all fairness though, nobody was going to beat Obama in 2008, or Clinton for that matter had she gotten the nomination. Anti-Bush hysteria was running wild to the point where John Edwards would have had a legitimate chance. It’s different now.

The United States is strong, but no country is strong enough to endure 8 years of a Marxist ideologue. Even if Obama is dumped in 2012, the damage he has, and will have caused will take a monumental effort to clean up. The government will be full of far left anti-American loons, we’ll be in debt likely forever, Sharia law may apply to you, and we may or may not have a Southern border. Two years is a long time in politics. For a guy that has stated that he was willing to be one term president, it’s a lifetime.

As Barack Obama’s popularity continues its decline, he remains wildly popular with his own.

A recent Gallup poll finds Muslims love Obama more than just about anyone else. Maybe not as high as those that voted for him based on skin color and nothing else, but as far as religions, Islam holds Obama in high esteem. I use the term religion loosely when referring to Islam, but for those that want to pretend that it is actually a religion, and not a violent cult, I can accommodate you for the purposes of this article. Muslims gave Obama a 78% approval rating, down from the 83% approval he had on inauguration day, but still a landslide in terms of popularity. That stands in stark contrast to the Mormons, who gave him a paltry 24% approval.

This should come as no surprise. 20% of the country know Obama is a Muslim, and the other 80% are either in denial, or waiting for further evidence. If they would do a little digging they would find that the evidence is in. Even without the Egyptian Foreign Minister validating the claims, Obama’s behavior was enough to convince millions. From his Cairo speech to his childhood, where he was confirmed to be a Muslim, there is nothing in Obama’s behavior to show that he ever left Islam. To parade Jeremiah Wright out as proof he was Christian was not only insulting, but further evidence of his contempt for America.

November is coming, and Obama and the Democrats are in trouble. The problem is that there are so many Americans that just do not pay attention that many think Obama is doing a good job under the circumstances. They have no idea what it means for Obama to be a Muslim. Freedom and the American way are in direct contrast to what Islam preaches. The more mosques that go up, and the more accommodations that have to be made for this faux religion, the more American freedoms will be stripped away. What other religion is out there that will sue to force accommodations regarding praying, attire, food, and even tolerance of other religions around them? None. For Muslims, there is only Islam, and the instructions in the Koran are clear: Kill the infidel where you find them. I don’t know about you, but my prophet isn’t a slave owning pedophile. Their prophet is.

So Barry, you say the Muslim call to prayer is the prettiest sound you ever heard? Folks, remind yourself what is behind that call.

Obama is talking jobs now. He brags about how many jobs he’s saved, even after conceding that the 10% unemployment rate is hurting Americans. Must have taken some nerve to go down that road Barry. Well, he’s going to get some money back from the banks though. Where do you think the banks will get that fee money you’ll hit them with Barry? Yeah. Sure the banks were fouled up. With the feds forcing them to hand out ACORN propelled loans to those who couldn’t possibly pay them back. Sure, why not speculate with CDO’s? How about the national debt? Well, it’s Bush’s fault of course. Obama had no choice but to jack it up to the point where George Bush now looks like a miser. No easy task. George was a big spender, but…He talks about tax cuts. What he doesn’t mention is the huge tax increases he has yet to push through.

Now he’s talking economy. Now he’s talking some kind of task force with Kent Conrad at the helm. That’s right, Kent the crook. Maybe his buddy Dodd will have some input. Remember, Barry is cracking down on the banks. He has Kent Conrad on the front lines of an economic task force. That should instill confidence. And how about that health care? Maybe he didn’t make himself clear. Yes, maybe us stupid Americans just don’t get it, and he has to sit us down and explain what we just can’t figure out. The rank and file American wasn’t the only one being bashed. He hammered away at the Supreme Court for dumping McCain-Feingold. Funny, coming from a guy who’s own campaign finances raises many questions. He didn’t mention that. What he did mention was, I, I, I, I, I…you get the picture. I didn’t count.

In the end, it was all he same thing: obamacare, the economy (code: cap and trade), reaching out to Muslims, comprehensive immigration reform, and taxing the crap out those making $250k. Yes, same shit, different day.
