The Overwhelming Destruction Wrought by Obama

It sometimes is so overwhelming just to realize all the damage, the present and future chaos, Obama is causing the country.

Hardly anyone expected him and the Democrat leaders in Congress to implement so much destructive legislation so quickly. How fellow Congressional members could be so stupid as to pass legislation without reading it, how they could have their arms twisted to follow like lemmings and cause so much destruction to our country is almost beyond imagination?

I've heard and read of these horrow stories. But they occurred in other countries or in fiction. Not the United States of America where freedom reigned.

What can we do? How can we turn the tide and encourage fellow Americans to speak out against ?

We must not give up home!

White House Kitchen Garden (and Michelle Obama Fashion) News

In my previous post, Michelle Obama - Gardening in Style, I introduced the current topic regarding gardening and what's hot in the news about garden fashions. Planting a White House Kitchen Garden, the latest project of Mrs. Obama's and her daughters, has piqued the interest of gardeners and Michelle watchers. Also those who keep an eye on Mrs. Obama's fashions.

If you want to get on the bandwagon and learn more about their experience...and see the chic fashions Michelle gardens in (no grubbies, please), check out these links.

Michelle Obama - Gardening in Style

It's great that Michelle Obama is encouraging gardening, although this seemed to evolve after news articles and comments appeared that it would be nice the Obamas had a White House kitchen garden and set an example for others. So....I wonder, is this gardening to get points among the people and show off stylish gardening clothes, or really to promote a beneficial practice.

This certainly was a good photo op for Mrs. Obama; some news media spent more time describing the stylish gardening clothes and the names of the designers than gardening. (Great PR op, too, for the designers.) Is the welfare of the citizens the aim or PR for Mrs. Obama? Let's hope it's a little of both...a humanitarian gesture with a spin-off about gardening clothes.

However, how many people really garden in carefully coordinated designer clothes that present a great photo op? Anyway it wouldn't do for the First Lady to grovel in the dirt like most of us who plant gardens and get our hands dirty...and knees and even face.

Gardeners are enthusiastic, the news media is excited to write about something other than political posturing, and the White House grounds will see an agricultural trend perhaps for the first time since the cows and sheep, kept by early presidents, disappeared.

Is Obama Making Our Country More Susceptible for Terrorists?

Is Obama in the process of setting our country up for terrorist susceptibility? The feelers have been going out about limiting citizens' right right to bear arms. If you get enough feelers going out, frequently enough, you begin to desensitize people and encourage the activists.
However, since that strategy might not be fast enough for Obama and crew, are they focusing on the airline pilots? For it seems a good possibility that the right to bear arms and protect their passengers from 9/11 type attacks is being yanked from the pilots...quietly and, until now, without notice.

Is Obama disarming the pilots to ecourage terrorist attacks?

Some resistance and dissatisfaction with his recent policies is surfacing. Are militant takeover plans the backup if Obama can't get his way through legislation and executive orders fast enough?

Think about it. Why disarm the pilots and put planes and passengers in jeopardy unless there's an underlying reason.

(Since the above linked article appeared, denials have been made by Obama's spokespeople . But something set off the story in the first place. It's unlikely that the news came out of thin air. What do you think?)

Bush Remains the Gentleman While Obama Blasts Him

Obama has been playing the "blame game," accusing former President Bush for causing all the problems rampant in the U.S. and the world today. Even those problems Obama is creating himself, he somehow finds a reason to blame Bush.

However, George W. Bush reveals himself to be the gentleman that Obama will have a difficult time equalling. When questioned about Obama, Bush merely says, that the current President "deserves my silence."

Brits Still Shocked By Obama's Treatment of Prime Minister Brown

Britain, our ally for decades, still feels the slights (and probably will forever) that Obama showered upon Prime Minister Gordon Brown, when he visited the United States last month. Even world historians are calling it a "diplomatic disaster."

Obama's defamation of Winston Churchill, his statue and memory, also rankles. This a country which helped us maintain our freedom during two World Wars. Without the British sacrifices and buffering of the enemy, we could be a captured country.

One only hopes they will pull with us in future crises.

Obama's Special Tactics - Playing the "Blame Game"

"It's his fault," the second grader complained to me. "I didn't do anything. I was trying to fix it."

"She made me break it," another youngster remarked, when asked what had happened. "It's her fault."

This is typical of students at a young age. They're unwilling, or don't know how, to take responsibility for their actions. They find it easier to blame others.

Is Obama playing this "blame game" of youngsters?

He's forever blaming President Bush for the economic situation, when Bush had to struggle with a Democrat Congress, one of whom was then Obama. This Congress fought almost every positive measure Bush tried to pass. They also orchestrated much of the current banking mess, with Obama profiting highly from it.

When Obama ran for President, he knew the economic situation of the country because, as a senator, he was in the midst of it. He knew what he'd have to face as President.

But it's much easier to blame Bush, even when Obama's current policies worsen the situation, than to face up to being a leader of a country. It was Democrat Harry Truman whose slogan while he was President was, "The buck stops here."

Does Obama Have Control of the Media?

When we see the blind, unquestioning approval that Barack Obama has achieved from the news media, we wonder how he exerted this control over journalists who are supposed to present both sides, to be investigative and objective. When I was a newspaper reporter, my editor regularly instructed us to "get both sides of the story" and "present the whole picture."


We weren't in the town government officials' pockets. We were to look at more than one person's views. We weren't to express idolatry for a specific official or candidate.


As a columnist, I could have express my views, but as a reporter I had to be vigilant, accurate, and unbiased. Today's media act as parrots of Obama's policies, see no wrong as he wrecks the economy and sets himself up as a god or dictator. It's the same scary scenario we saw in Germany as Hitler grabbed power and took control of the media, who then could only spout his praises.

It's definitely is a scary scenario we're experiencing now in this country. How many journalists are holding their heads up with pride of a job done with honesty and integrity.

Obama's Proposed Health Care - Euthanasia for the Elderly & Infirm?

In all the excitement over health care for all, as proposed by Barack Obama and his team of White House administrators and Congressional colleagues, will people look carefully at what it contains? Or will they blindly accept what seems like a good deal without scrutinizing the details, like refusal of treatment for the elderly and those deemed uncurable (by administrators, not doctors and medical staff)?

Check out the article at Alzheimer's Notes, Obama's New Health Care - Will It Result in Elder Neglect & Euthanasia?

Obama Snubs Prime Minister Gordon Brown & Great Britain

Allies for decades, Great Britain, Prime Minister Brown and his family had no to reason to expect a snub from the Obamas because he was too tired from dealing with this country's economic problems. What did he think a President does? Preside at ceremonial occasions and eat breakfast in bed?

The Brits are very annoyed because of the treatment allocated their Prime Minister and his family. And the excuses given by Obama's team for this social gaff.

Obama appears ready to give more time and attention to keeping company with the Taliban!
What does that mean?

Obama Continues to "Snow" the People

Even though Obama is leading the country deeper and deeper in debt and stocks plunge lower, apparently the majority of people continue to be "snowed" by him, according to a poll by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

  • Are they afraid to speak out and disagree because of his race? When someone does speak out against him, they're likely to be accused as racist, yet other races must bear criticism.
  • Are they so overwhelmed by theatrics and charisma that they don't think and use common sense?
  • Are many so jealous of those they perceive as having more that they're willing to fall into Obama's jealousy trap?

It is scary and so reminiscent of how Hitler came to power and took freedom away from the German people.

Obama Urges Investors to "Buy Stocks!"

As stock prices plummet to new lows, due to Obama's money spending socialist programs, he now urges people to buy stocks and claims they're a good deal, midst outcries from economists.

This makes one wonder how many of Obama's cohorts are investing in stocks right now? Is this why Obama and crew aren't dismayed by the plunge in the stock market? Does it mean financial gains for them, as well as fueling their class division policy?

Learn from the Obamas How to Woo Your Friends...and Enemies

Whether you're in favor of Barack Obama as President and his policies, anyone has to admit he and Mrs. Obama are masters at wooing friends...and enemies. They have gathered around them a team that knows how to manipulate people, utilizing the Obama's personalities and current "star" attraction.

Learn from them and apply some of their techniques (of course, without any of the deceptiveness and destructiveness they're utilizing). They are playing the game of President and First Lady without traditional rules and are deceiving the majority of the people...and the world.

However, learn to use their techniques for GOOD and you'll be magnificent!
