Obama giving Arizona back to Mexico

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano recently told a Senate committee that the southern border or Arizona was as safe as ever.

“I know that border I think as well as anyone, and I will tell you it is as secure now as it has ever been,” Napolitano said. [Read more]

If this is true then why are American citizens being told to stay out of three southern Arizona counties because it is too dangerous due to armed smugglers from Mexico operating freely in those areas? [Read more]

Imagine that - part of the United States of America is too dangerous for Americans because of activities of illegal gangs and aliens. I never thought that I would live to see this day.

The President of the United States is the person ultimately responsible for the safety of this country and it's people. This is Job 1 for any President. This President, however, is busy taking over the healthcare industry, attempting to take over the financial and energy industries, doling out handouts at a record pace, trying to secure benefits to bail out union pension funds mismanaged by unions, bailing our print media, turning the BP oil spill into a push for cap and tax and in general spending money like a drunken sailor on shore leave. He apparently does not have time to take care of his first and foremost responsibility: the protection of this country and her citizens.

(In fairness, Obama has said he will send 1000 troops to help but they will not be on the front lines. In essence they will be uniformed administrative aides.)

As with healthcare and other issues, polls show that the clear majority of American citizens believe this is a serious issue and that the borders must be properly defended. As with healthcare and other issues, the Obama administration and Congress continue to ignore the will of the people.

It is a sad day when citizens of a foreign nation can invade and occupy a portion of our country and our leaders in the White House and Congress do nothing to defend our territory. Rather than pander to the tinhorn leader of Mexico, our President should remember what his job one is and actually do something to stop this invasion. Of course this assumes that Obama can actually stop playing politics and posing for photo opportunities long enough to be a real President.

Arizona steps up to do the Federal Government's Job

Updated April 29, 2010

All of the consternation arising from the recently passed Arizona immigration law would be completely unnecessary if the Federal government were doing it's job. It is the job of the fed to protect the border and to keep illegal aliens from crossing our borders.

By President Obama's own admission, over 500,000 illegals sneak into Arizona each year alone. 500,000 people that are draining the taxpayers of Arizona who pay the cost of the uninvited intruders. Rather than taking strong steps to protect the border and cut off the flow of illegal aliens, all we here from the Fed is that we should set up an amnesty program (but we don't hear how much that will cost the taxpayers).

The governor of Arizona as well as Senator McCain have requested the 3,000 troops be deployed along the border. So far, the Obama regime has been silent.

Isn't it high time that the politicians quit pandering to the illegals and do what they took an oath to do?

The pandering by the polpigs goes beyond amnesty and failing to protect the border. These pompous, self righteous gas bags have the audacity to condemn the requirement that Arizona police check the immigration status of suspects. We hear about the plight of some poor family that goes out for ice cream, are stopped and don't have their papers. This is pure garbage.

The federal government already requires all foreign nationals legally in this country to have their documentation,, (via or green card), with them at all times. Arizona is not adding a burden to these folks.

Rather than posing for the camera and trying to buy hispanic votes, the Obama regime and Congress must get serious and do the job they swore they would do - protect our borders and stop the flow of illegal aliens. Then and only then can we have a constructive debate on immigration reform.

Update 4/29/10
Perhaps it wil help those who are not in Arizona to understand what the residents have been dealing with and face each and every day while the rest of live in relative safety.

Justice Department: Border Patrol Agents Assaulted Daily, Kidnappings Every 35 Hours in Phoenix, 1 in 5 Teens Using Drugs Predominantly Supplied by Mexican Traffickers

Regarding the position of the fed, this from Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano:

Napolitano: U.S.- Mexico Border ‘As Secure Now As It Has Ever Been’

Now I ask you to set aside the political rhetoric and garage babbling from progressives and mainstream media, put yourself into the place of the citizens of Arizona and answer this one question: "what would you do?".

Who's Obstructing Obama?

Once again the President and his minions in the Democrat party are blaming Republicans for obstructing "The Chosen One's" policies and initiatives. Once again they are assuming that we the people are stupid and will not see the truth for ourselves.

Fact: Democrats have held the majority of both the House and Senate since 2006. They have had an absolute, unbeatable majority since 2008. This means that since 2008 they have had the power to pass any bill they want and the Republicans can not do a damned thing to stop them.

Fact: The American people have not supported the most significant portions of the liberal agenda, including cap and trade, government takeover of healthcare, immigration reform. There are literally hundreds of polls available on the internet that show the lack of support. Five minutes with Google will find all the proof of this needed. Add to this the three surprising elections lost in traditional the Democrat strongholds of Virgina, New Jersey and Massachusetts and you can easily see the opposition to the liberal agenda.

So what is the truth? Despite all of claims of Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the braindead members of the mainstream media, the obstruction is not coming from the Republicans in Congress.

Reject the lies folks. Think for yourself. God gave you a brain, use it. Don't let polpigs think for you. Don't let union leaders think for you. Don't let the mainstream media think for you.

Spend Your Way Out Of Debt - the Obama Way

Anyone who has ever sat around the kitchen table trying to balance their home budget or has had to struggle with a business budget knows that you can't spend your way out of economic problems and debt. We refer to this as "common sense".

In the high-powered world of liberal politics, however, this "common sense" is ignored. Once again Obama is calling upon Congress and the American people to spend more money to try and fix our current economic woes [read more].

Let's see if this makes sense: our national debt is skyrocketing already, government run health care and cap and trade will only add to that, private sector businesses are laying off thousands of people and Obama wants to spend more money. And where does the money come from that Obama wants to spend? As always, from the same taxpayers who are already struggling financially.

Government jobs and jobs created with temporary government spending do not boost the economy. Those jobs have to be paid for somehow and that means the taxpayer gets hit again.

If Obama and his liberal minions were serious they would lower taxes and let the private sector do what it is best equipped to do and that is create jobs and economic growth. They would do all they could to get government out of the way and the free market system operate without government imposed constraints.

All of these bills and debt being run up by Congress and Obama are going to come due someday. Somebody is going to have to pay and that somebody is you, me, our kids and our grandkids.

Thanks for the warning Sen. Biden

Sen. Joe Biden has once again given us a reason to question the wisdom of elected Barack Obama to be our President and leader of the free world.

ABC News' Matthew Jaffe Reports: Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., on Sunday guaranteed that if elected, Sen. Barack Obama., D-Ill., will be tested by an international crisis within his first six months in power and he will need supporters to stand by him as he makes tough, and possibly unpopular, decisions.

"Mark my words," the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy." [READ MORE]

Sen. Biden continues:

"I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate," Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the Middle East and Russia as possibilities. "And he's gonna need help. And the kind of help he's gonna need is, he's gonna need you - not financially to help him - we're gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right."

Let me see if I understand what Sen biden is telling us.

1. If we elect Obama, there WILL BE an international crisis within six months.

2. The handling of the situation will be questioned and Obama's support will dwindle.

Is this the "Change" that Obama is going to bring about? Personally, I am still searching trying to find out just what "change" Obama is going to make and not finding any answers unless you consider taking my even more tax dollars from the middle class and giving that money away as entitlements to those who don't work.

Folks, particularly those who are either planning to vote for Obama or, worse yet, thinking about sitting out the election: please think about what you are doing, who you are supporting and what the longterm cost to America will be. Put aside party politics and think of the country first.

Placing the Blame

The $700 BILLION dollar bailout is the result of many years of politics, greed, bad decisions and poorly conceived government policy. There is more than enough blame to go around without regard to political party.

However, as is to be expected, this issue is become a part of the rhetoric of the Presidential campaign. So we thought we would present a couple of items that might help clear the air of some misconceptions.

First, regarding John McCain:

"For years I have been concerned about the regulatory structure that governs Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac... and the sheer magnitude of these companies and the role they play in the housing market... If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole." ---John McCain (http://PatriotPost.US/alexander/edition.asp?id=578) arguing for passage of the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act (S. 190) which he co-sponsored in 2005.

And now, regarding Barrack Obama:

Obama's Terrorist Friends

Like it or not, we are all judged by others in part by the associations that form. It does not matter if it is fair to do this or not, it is a fact of life, a fact that we all must live with. Barry Obama, the Democrat/socialist party candidate for President of the United States is no exception.

The American Issues Project is currently running an ad on local television outlets and the internet that raises the issue of Obama's longtime ties to William Ayers, a self confessed terrorist.

Ayers told the New York Times at one point several years ago, "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough." He is married to fellow Weather Underground founder Bernadine Dohrn, who once was on the FBI's Top 10 Most Wanted List and described by J. Edgar Hoover as the "most dangerous woman in America."

The response from the Obama camp is to try and shut down the American Issues Project and to threaten TV stations with boycotts if they run the ad. [Read more.] Despite 168 pages of backup documentation and a plethora of public documents and videos that substantiate the claims made in the ad, Obama is claiming that the ad is false, deceptive and unfair. Judge for yourself.



William Ayers bio

At the same time this flap is exploding around Obama's rather ample ears, there is also the little matter of campaign contributions from members of the the radical Muslim Brotherhood, including at least one member under active Federal investigation for terrorist activities [Read more]. While other Democrats have returned contributions from this source, the Obama campaign remains silent and keeps the money.

Obama and his minions in the mainstream media would have us believe that there is no truth to any of these allegations. Rather than providing hard proof of their claims, the Obama people attack the sources and try to use the force of government to silence critics. Rather than prove that they are right, the Obama people call the source names and make wild allegations of their own. Rather than face these issues like reasonable adults, they stomp their little footsies and run to Big Brother to protect them.

Is this the person we want sitting in the Oval Office? A man with ties to known terrorists and who's campaign gladly accepts funds from enemies of the United States?

I believe, when election day comes, the American people will see through the lies of the mainstream media, the Democrat/socialist party, union leaders and other power hungry liberals and do the right thing for America.

Friends don't let friends vote liberal.

Obama - Biden : This is change?

For the past several days we have been inundated with a flood of discussion, analysis and opinions from the Mainstream media (MSM), all designed to convince us that with the naming of Joe Biden as his VP choice, the new messiah Obama has now all but wrapped up the elections this fall. But something doesn't ring true.

For starters, Obama has campaigned on 'Change' and yet he has picked one of the ultimate Washington D.C. insiders as his VP. Somehow 35 years in the Senate just doesn't sound like 'Change'. If anything it sounds like more of the same old political party garbage.

Then there is the matter of Biden being able to deliver Pennsylvania for the Democrat/socialists in November. While he was born in Pennsylvania, the fact is that he has not lived there for over 50 years.

We are also being told that Biden brings balance to the ticket. When I first heard one of the MSM talking heads say this I almost busted a gut laughing. Balance? Two ultra-liberals do not make for a balanced ticket. Just how stupid does the MSM and the Democrat/socialist party think we are?

Folks, in the Obama/Biden ticket what we have are two of the most liberal Senators in Washington D.C. We have a ticket that is staunchly anti-2nd Amendment, pro-abortion and infanticide, very big government and tax and spend liberal. This ticket does what I thought would be impossible and that is to make uber-liberal George McGovern appear to be a moderate.

Having disposed of Senator Clinton with a campaign that promised 'Change', Obama has now come full circle back to more of the same old garbage.

It will never be more important for conservatives to work to make sure that this ticket fails in November. It really is not about supporting McCain - it is about supporting and defending our way of life.

See the Cowards Run

Over 70% of the American people demand that Congress lift the ban on drilling offshore and in the ANWR. This outcry, together with a reduction in gasoline usage by the American people, help to drive down the cost of crude oil. Lifting the ban and actually getting the crude oil actually flowing will certainly help drive down prices even further. However, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Dem - California, acting more like Marie Antionette than as a representative of the American people, refuses to allow debate on any measure aimed at removing the drilling bans and instead shuts down the House and runs away along with 50 or so of her minions [READ MORE].

Rather than face the wrath of the voters in an election year, the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States of America takes the cowards way out.

The presumptive Democrat candidate for President, Barrack Hussien Obama, the so called great speechifier and new messiah of world politics, refuses to participate in any Town Hall meetings against the Republican John McCain [READ MORE]. His "people" claim that there isn't enough time but the truth is that Barry just does not do very well unless he is reading a speech written for him and being displayed on a teleprompter [READ MORE]. For the record, in what passes for debates there days, the candidate respond to a pre-approved set of questions for a pre-approved selection of big media reporters. In a Town Hall, WE THE PEOPLE actually get a chance to ask unscripted questions.

Rather than face unscripted questions from THE PEOPLE, the presumptive Democrat party nominee for President of the United States, Senator Barrack Hussien Obama, takes the cowards way out.

These are just two examples of the complete lack of courageous, or even mediocre leadership offered the American people by the Democrat party. Faced with two tough situations, these so-called leaders cut and run. Bail out. Disappear. And then like every tinhorn dictator before them, they try to cover their actions with arrogance, pixie dust and political spin.

Had these two, and their minions in the Democrat/socialist party been our leaders in 1776, we would still be a British colony.

Barry's Big Adventure or Something Wicked This Way Comes

In case you hadn't heard, the "Magic Negro Tour" featuring the New Messiah of Politics continues to chug across the middle east and Europe. Of course, about the only way you would not be aware of this is if you spent the last week or so deep inside a cave in the Rocky Mountains as mainstream media has engaged in 24 x 7, all-Obama, all the time coverage. In fact, if you could stomach the nightly news cast for a few minutes, you would undoubtedly hear how huge throngs everywhere gathered to pay homage to the New Messiah.

But not everything is sunshine and lollipops in Obamaland.

The Huge Berlin Crowd
While the American media minions reported the crowd in Berlin for Chebama's speech at 200,000 German Public Television reports during the event put the crowd at a much smaller number: 20,000. [READ MORE].

"Minutes later, Obama was on stage. And a half hour after that, he was gone again. By 8 p.m. -- as the crowd filed out, obediently following the order to disperse given over the loud-speaker system -- the number being cited had grown to fully 200,000. As this German timeline indicates, the original source for the rapidly growing estimates was in fact the rally organizers: i.e. the Obama team. The 200,000 figure would also be attributed to the Berlin police -- which might represent the first time in modern history that the police and the organizers of a political rally agreed on their estimates of crowd size."

Rewriting History - Again
One year ago in South Carolina, Obama was asked:

"[W]ould you be willing to meet separately, without precondition, during the first year of your administration, in Washington or anywhere else, with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea, in order to bridge the gap that divides our countries?". [READ FULL ANSWER]

His answer at that time was:

"I would. And the reason is this, that the notion that somehow not talking to countries is punishment to them — which has been the guiding diplomatic principle of this administration — is ridiculous."

Now it seems that Obama has much different recollection of his answer. [READ MORE]. Give us a break Chebama, our memories aren't that short.

Oops
It is well documented that Obama becomes somewhat tongue tied when he is not reading a prepared speech from a teleprompter. [READ MORE]. Heck, it is now becoming obvious that he has a problem getting things right anytime he speaks. In Israel he referred to the Senate Banking Committee as "his committee" but in actuality he is not a member of said committee.

One can only hope that American voters are going to see through this sham campaign, the big media bias and the lies of the sycophant from Illinois before it is too late. With all of the problems large and small that we face, about the last thing we need in the White House is a marxist with no regard for the truth.

"Friends don't let friends vote liberal"

Obama's True Believers

I was raised to believe that you could tell a lot about someone by their friends and supporters. Mom used to warn us that if we hung with trash, people would think we were trash.

The image below is a screen print taken directly from Barrack Hussien Obama's Offical website. We've included a link to the page but the chances are that Obama's people will perform some damage control and take down the page.



We realize that the print is hard to read so here is the opening text from the page:

Marxists/Socialists/Communists for Obama
This group is for self-proclaimed Marxists/Communists/Socialists for the election of Barack Obama to the Presidency. By no means is he a true Marxist, but under Karl Marx's writings we are to support the party with the best interests of the mobilization of the proletariat. Though the Democratic Socialists of America or the Communist Patty of America may have more Socialististic values, it is pointless to vote for these candidates due to the fact that there is virutally no chance they will be elected on a National level. The members of this group are not Leninists, Stalinists, etc. and do not support or condone the actions of North Korea, China, Cuba or any other self-procalimed "Marxist States." They do not in anyway represent the Marxist philosophy nor do they represent Socialism/ Communsim. We support Barack Obama because he knows what is best for the people!

Says quite a bit about the people that are supporting the new messiah of the left.

In a related article, World Net Daily [READ MORE] documents several of the messages posted to the page by the supporters of Barrack Hussien Obama. Included amonst these are:

"The Neo-proleatarian is now the bearer of the Revolution. That's why I support Obama. He helps destroy the paradigm of bourgeoisie government, which is best for the Proletariat. In the end, this will only hasten the Revolution even if the Revolution must come as a massive government reform."

And from a poster identified as "The Chalk Graffiti Terrorist":

"We can’t just accept the evil side of capitalism. The nature of capitalism is to maximize profits, and this is often done by minimizing expenditure—in short, cutting costs. And cutting costs means less benefits, less pay, and poorer conditions for the workers. But capitalism has more evil in it than that. The profit motive drives the destruction of our environment, it has caused the current foreclosure crisis, and it exploits and basically enslaves those poor not protected by legitimate representative government."

We strongly urge you to check this out for yourself.

WND ARTICLE
Barrack Hussien Obama's Website

These radicals are supporting Barrack Hussien Obama for some reason, what ever it may be. But you can be sure it is not for any reason that most Americans would find acceptable.

Obama's failed housing policy

While mainstream media continues to fawn over the new messiah of the left, Barrack Hussien Obama, the fact is the "best hope for change" really is nothing much more than just another two-bit Chicago politician. A good case in point is Obama's failed housing policy while a state senator in Illinois.

Obama, as a presidential candidate, has been promising to create an Affordable Housing Trust Fund worth approximately $500 million a year to developers. The objective would be to build and manage more 'affordable housing'. This is just about the same approach that Obama sponsored while a state senator, an approach that has proven to be a dismal failure for the people who were supposed to benefit while being a success for several of Obama supporters and campaign donors.

CHICAGO - The squat brick buildings of Grove Parc Plaza, in a dense neighborhood that Barack Obama represented for eight years as a state senator, hold 504 apartments subsidized by the federal government for people who can't afford to live anywhere else.

But it's not safe to live here.

About 99 of the units are vacant, many rendered uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as collapsed roofs and fire damage. Mice scamper through the halls. Battered mailboxes hang open. Sewage backs up into kitchen sinks. In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale - a score so bad the buildings now face demolition.

Grove Parc has become a symbol for some in Chicago of the broader failures of giving public subsidies to private companies to build and manage affordable housing - an approach strongly backed by Obama as the best replacement for public housing.

[Read the full story]

While the residents of Grove Parc are suffering, many of the developers, friends and supporters of Barrack Hussien Obama, are doing fine, thank you.

Among those tied to Obama politically, personally, or professionally are:

Valerie Jarrett, a senior adviser to Obama's presidential campaign and a member of his finance committee. Jarrett is the chief executive of Habitat Co., which managed Grove Parc Plaza from 2001 until this winter and co-managed an even larger subsidized complex in Chicago that was seized by the federal government in 2006, after city inspectors found widespread problems.

Allison Davis, a major fund-raiser for Obama's US Senate campaign and a former lead partner at Obama's former law firm. Davis, a developer, was involved in the creation of Grove Parc and has used government subsidies to rehabilitate more than 1,500 units in Chicago, including a North Side building cited by city inspectors last year after chronic plumbing failures resulted in raw sewage spilling into several apartments.

Antoin "Tony" Rezko, perhaps the most important fund-raiser for Obama's early political campaigns and a friend who helped the Obamas buy a home in 2005. Rezko's company used subsidies to rehabilitate more than 1,000 apartments, mostly in and around Obama's district, then refused to manage the units, leaving the buildings to decay to the point where many no longer were habitable.

Campaign finance records show that six prominent developers - including Jarrett, Davis, and Rezko - collectively contributed more than $175,000 to Obama's campaigns over the last decade and raised hundreds of thousands more from other donors. Rezko alone raised at least $200,000, by Obama's own accounting.

One of those contributors, Cecil Butler, controlled Lawndale Restoration, the largest subsidized complex in Chicago, which was seized by the government in 2006 after city inspectors found more than 1,800 code violations.

[Read the full story]

Do us all a favor folks and start to ask Obama and his minions the hard questions rather than falling for the 'candidate of change' garbage. The job of President of the United States is arguably the most important job in the world. Whoever fills that job should be someone who has been fully honest with us, who has proven that they are what they claim to be and not just a repackaged windbag.

Say What?

We ran across this quote in the Patriot Post

“What they’ll say is, ‘Well it costs too much money,’ but you know what? It would cost, about... It—it—it would cost about the same as what we would spend... It... Over the course of 10 years it would cost what it would costs us... (nervous laugh) All right. Okay. We’re going to... It... It would cost us about the same as it would cost for about—hold on one second. I can’t hear myself. But I’m glad you’re fired up, though. I’m glad.” - Barrack Hussein Obama

Now, if you have the slightest idea what the great orator was talking about, please let us know.
