Top 5 Reasons that you shouldn't vote for Obama (If you voted for him in 2008).

There are tons of reasons not to vote for Obama, but here the five best for those of you who already voted for him once.


5. Obama care was a huge flop.

One of Obama's major campaign issues was nation-wide health coverage. Today, almost three years later, we're no closer to that goal. In fact, the bill he passed isn't even close to being nation wide, as there are over 1300 exemptions to the bill. Entire states, unions, government employees, corporations are immune to the bill.

4. Vowed to lower debt; debt is now higher than ever.

Another one of Obama's major issues was the budget, debt and deficit. Taxes were too low, spending was too high, and the difference between the two was huge. Today it's even worse. Taxes haven't gone up (thankfully?), but spending hasn't gone down. It's not only gone up, it's gone WAY up. If Bush was bad on spending, then Obama is horrendous. 

3. Vowed to end the wars; now in more conflicts than before.

Yet another one of Obama's main issues was the conflicts overseas. He promised to bring our young service men and women home, but in fact, he's sent them to even more places than they were before. Fighting has extended into Pakistan, and there are even troops staged waiting to enter Libya. 

2. Government pay is out of control.

Salary of the US President ..................$400,000 

Salary of retired US Presidents .............$180,000 

Salary of House/Senate .......................$174,00​0 

Salary of Speaker of the House ............$223,500 

Salary of Majority/Minority Leaders ...... $193,400

...Average Salary of Soldier DEPLOYED IN IRAQ OR AFGHANISTAN $38,000. Where do you think He wants to make his cuts? To the Military pay, of course. Let's not forget about the whole teacher's strike where they're demanding even more money, when they already are making on average $70,000 a year when you're including their benefits. Ludicrousness. 

And lastly, my favorite;
1. He hasn't kept a single promise!

 At least President Bush did what he said he was going to do. Even if you didn't like the man, you knew what he was going to do politically. It feels like Obama uses a D12 to make his decisions. Ehhhh, today I feel like sending troops to Pakistan. Ehhhh, today I feel like taking some out of Iraq. Ehhh, nah, lets send them to Libya. Hmmm, I think I'll take a vacation for a month. Deuces!

Anyhow, join me in saying Nope in 2012.




Oh, this one is probably a better #2 than the #2 that I posted (but, government pay is a huge issue for me, so I had to include it). African Americans are worse off today than they were in 2008. And they are more worse when compared to 2008 values than any other ethnic group.

[Archive] Obama care -- Ohio to attempt to toss it out!

Being from Pennsylvania, it's fun (and easy) to make fun of people from Ohio. Unfortunately (well, probably fortunately), they've taken a drastic step to being on my list of things I won't make fun of anymore. This is because, they've managed to collect a whopping 427,000 signatures against Obama Care. That gives them the ability to put the issue on the ballet and vote on the health care plan in the upcoming 2012 elections. That isn't to say that the grass-roots effort will stop there. They will still have many hurdles in the near future to ensure this constitutional atrocity of a bill will not be harmful to their state.

You can read the full article here. http://www.boston.com.


This bit of happy news prompted me to do some research. It turns out that Ohio isn't the only place seeking exemption from our elected overlord's health plan -- they're just the most recent. In fact, as of mid March, there were already over 1300 exemptions written. Isn't that curious? I thought Obama Care was the keystone  to his election promises. You know, bring healthcare to the people and all that jazz. Isn't that what the democrats thought was so precious? Yeah, I thought so too. Until I saw who some of these exemptions were.

Here's my (least) favorite parts of the list.

• Unions! (I really need to get to work on that Why Unions are Poison article I've been talking about)
• Obama's number one group of fans doesn't have to abide by the same rules as the rest of the country. Why should they? They did vote him in, after all.
• Government employees!
• You know, it sure would be nice if my boss could force the rest of the country to do something, but not me. I guess that's how it feels to work in the public sector these days. Also, lets think back to how I wrote about the teacher's union (look at that, a union of public employees) was getting out of hand. Funny, I just might have been right.
• People in the states of Nevada, New Hampshire and Maine.
• I really wonder what makes these blessed states so special? Could it be that they're the states of prominent leaders in the Democratic party? Oh wait, they're totally states of the leaders of the Democratic party.

This last one is my super favorite. All you have to do to exempt yourself from Obama Care is...

• Open a shop in Nancy Pelosi's district! 
• That's right. Nearly 20% of the 1300+ exemptions, are to businesses in the former speaker's district. How coincidental is that?

You can more about this here. http://www.humanevents.com

This is some very interesting information, and from it, we can draw some very interesting conclusions. If the Unions don't want it, if the very employees of the government that is trying to give it to us don't want it, if Harry Reid doesn't want it in his home state, and if it isn't good enough for the people in Pelosi's district, then it simply isn't good enough for the rest of the country. When will they realize that the people do not want socialized health care? Why do they continue to force it down our throats? How can they possibly continue to market it as such a success? What do you think?

I sure miss this guy right about now...

What has Obama given us? Nothing good, that's for sure. Higher debt, higher spending, higher taxes. More entitlement programs, bigger government. Is this really what we were hoping for when we elected this man? I really don't understand how he can continue to push for his reelection, when he hasn't delivered on a single campaign promise. I thought he was supposed to bring us together, but instead we're further apart. I thought he was supposed to change things for the better, not for the worse.

If that's better, I must be politically insane.

The funny thing is, I didn't even care for Bush while he was president. I always thought he was a babbling idiot. I'm really glad I read his book - Decision Points - it gave me a whole new respect for the man.

What about you? If you voted for Obama, do you regret it? How do you feel about Bush?

[Archive] I can see why they're not on real TV..

Here's an interesting video response to Obama's recent address to the nation.



Now, I can see why they're not on TV, but they make a lot of good points. The richest 20% of this country pays 45% of the taxes, and the richest 40% pay 95% of the taxes. How can we honestly expect them to pay any more than they do? Do we really expect a free ride on the shoulders of the wealthy?

What are your opinions on what Obama and the pundits had to say?

[Archive] Who's fault is this recession, really?

A ton of finger pointing has been done, and a lot of people seem to think that it's Bush's fault. I tend to disagree, after all, I think everybody agrees that the housing bubble started this economic downturn and it was the GSEs that was it’s keystone. This is a interesting montage of  a discussion in 2004. Check out the key players that are defending those practices.


Here's a great video to show you exactly who was on what side of the debate back in 2004, when things were great.
