There's an interesting report out today, in numerous news sources, that the number of jobs created or saved by Obama's stimulus money has been vastly overstated by thousands. An "honest" mistake that will be corrected at the White House web site, we're told, although at the time of the news reports it hadn't. Also, many of those jobs existed only for several weeks, not a long term creation of work. Others weren't jobs created, but reflected raises given to existing jobs.
What can we believe from Obama and his czars? As long suspected, facts and figures are manipulated for their gain and to draw the public tighter into their web. Words are maneuvered to to reflect Obama's meaning, not what we've always known them to mean.

Obama's Take Over of the United States Very Scary
A friend has been trying to make people realize the detriment all Obama's "changes" are making and will make to a free America as we know it. She called the situation disturbing.
I responded:
The situation is more than disturbing...it's downright scary. I lived through the WWII era, and I see so many things happening in this country that happened in Hitler's Germany...control of the people before they realized what was happening. Promises for a better world, when all it meant was Hitler's control. Take-over of businesses, transportation, military, health care, communications, and elimination of those who opposed him. I never thought I'd see it here.
So I've been speaking out, too...here and elsewhere. Even though people have been objecting at town halls and tea parties, Obama, Pelosi, Reid and Obama's henchmen/czars are determined to ignore what we the people say and pass their laws anyway...and pass them fast. They ignore the laws of the land and the Constitution, and no one stops them. Hitler did this, too, before the ordinary citizens realized what was going on.
How something like this could happen so quickly, in 9 months, in our country, is what has so many people almost paralyzed, I think. We must keep speaking out and informing, because many of the younger generations don't realize what is happening. They have nothing to compare it with, and could find their freedoms curtailed before they know it.

Does One Voice Matter?
Sometimes I wonder....does one voice matter? Does my writing this blog to get people to thinking about Obama's programs and the destruction he's causing the United States matter?
However, if I can get one person to consider:
However, if I can get one person to consider:
- How Obama is fooling the people.
- How he's taking over our country so quickly with his "do good" programs.
- How he's manipulating the people and getting them to think he should think for them.
- How he wants to get our medical and personal records into a national bank. From this there will be control over us by him and his czars.
- How he's setting the stage for legalizing a third term for a persident...with himself in mind.
- How he's planning on doing away with the aged and infirm and those who don't agree with him (by refusing health care)...just as Hitler did.
- How he's creating hate among the people.
These are just a few of the policies thrust upon U.S. citizens so rapidly, more rapidly than anyone imagined.

Will Obama Silence Critical Media?
Much of the mainstream media has beeen Obama's pocket" since he announced his bid for the presidency. Nothing he could do was wrong, according to the major networks and newspapers. They generally haven't published critical articles, seeking out glowing reports and polls and emphasizing them...in a way, indoctronizing the public.
Now you begin to see a scattering of headlines and articles that, while not necessarily critical, focus on individuals and groups that are opposed to some of Obama's programs and policies.
It will be interesting to see if Obama silences these and in some manner forces the media to report only news that promotes him and his programs...as dictators in other countries do and dictators in the past, like Hitler and Stalin, did.
It's a little more difficult these days with the Internet and social media to shut down all criticism. But those, too, could be censored, if Obama had enough backing for his executive orders.

Obama - The Master of Theatrics & Manipulation
Anyone has to admit that Obama is the Master of Theatrics and Manipulation. He knows how to play to the people with his programs that will bankrupt the country and plummet us into socialism. He knows how to stir up "class envy" and jealousy. He appeals to the emotions (not the mind) with words that don't have depth but have "feel good" connotations.
His White House team also are very skilled in utilizing the Internet, so can spread these communications further and faster than ever before. They also know how to master the media.
Obama doesn't need to have a lot of substance, simply the ability to use words and drama to play upon people's emotions and fears, to act quickly with his team while "the iron is hot." That in itself is scary.
