Obama has:
Largest budget ever.
Largest deficit ever.
Largest number of broken promises ever.
Most self-serving speeches ever.
Most golf rounds ever.
Most vacations ever.
Largest number of agenda-setting failures ever.
Fastest dive in popularity ever!
It was Bush’s fault!
On G. W. Bush:
He broke Obama's promise, to put all bills on the White House web site for five days before signing them.
He broke Obama's promise, to have the congressional health care negotiations broadcast live on C-SPAN.
He broke Obama's promise, to end earmarks.
He broke Obama's promise, to keep unemployment from rising above 8 percent.
He broke Obama's promise, to close the detention center at Guantanamo
in the first year.
He broke Obama's promise, to make peace with direct, no precondition talks with America's most hate-filled enemies during his first year in office, ushering in a new era of global cooperation.
He broke Obama's promise, to end the hiring of former lobbyists into high White House jobs.
He broke Obama's promise, to end no-compete contracts with the government.
He broke Obama's promise, to disclose the names of all attendees at closed White House meetings.
He broke Obama's promise, for a new era of bipartisan cooperation in all matters.
He broke Obama's promise, to have chosen a home church to attend Sunday services with his family by Easter of last year.
Yes, it's all George Bush's fault ! President Obama is nothing more than a puppet in the never-ending failed Bush administration.
If only George Bush wasn't still in charge, all of President Obama's problems would be solved.
His promises would have been kept, the economy would be back on track, Iran would have stopped its work on developing a nuclear bomb
and would be negotiating a peace treaty with Israel.
North Korea would have ended its tyrannical regime, and integrity would have been restored to the federal government
What makes this story so sweet is the fact that Chuck Green is a life-long liberal Democrat.

Tea Party Down-Grade
The democrats and some republicans are looking to put the blame on anyone but themselves for the downgrading of our countries AAA credit rating when the blame lies squarely on them.
The Tea Party from its inception has been harping that we need to cut the debt, cut spending and in turn, cut the size of the federal government.
Standard and Poor’s explanation for the down-grade was the result of the government’s failure to cut spending. They feel the cuts were not deep enough and no plan was shown to curb spending.
Standard and Poor’s even warned that if the debt wasn’t cut by $4 trillion, they would down-grade America’s credit rating.
Here’s another way to look at it so you can understand what this latest plan did:
A family making $58,000 spends $75,000 a year and has a credit card debt of $325,000. The new plan is that the family will now only spend $72,000 a year. Makes a big difference doesn’t it?
Here comes Obama, the democrats and a few RINO’s calling the credit rating drop as “the tea party down-grade” This is one messed up political machine we have running right now. How can anyone make the connection that the tea party is to blame for this? Governemnt officials did exactly the opposite of what the tea party wanted, which by the way was the same thing Standard & Poor's suggestions were to avoid this down-grade, yet here we have democrats proclaiming that it is the tea party's fault.
Why is he not attacking the tariffs imposed on our exports to China and Mexico? Mexico taxes our companies 17% to sell a product in their country and China charges us 19%, yet we charge them nothing to sell their goods here.
Obama, in today’s speech, tells us he can't find anywhere to cut spending. I have a few suggestions for him, starting with the Dept. of Education, The Federal Reserve and the repeal of ObamaCare just to get started and these will save us trillions almost immediately.
The republicans are always accused to catering to the rich while the democrats cater to the poor. The democrats what to keep the poor -- poor so that they will not have to pay taxes and in turn, will keep voting for democrats.

The Tea Party Won?
A Detroit News column from today (8/2/2011) annouced “Stop griping on the debt deal tea party, you won”
Who won?
Nobody won.
What happened was, we allowed the largest even debt ceiling increase in history ($2.4 trillion). The Republicans settled for "future cuts" 5 years down the road, which is business as usual from the DC elite.
I don’t want cuts down the road, this is business as usual for the DC elite, I want cuts NOW!... TODAY!
I want to see federal government workers walking out with a cardboard box and a pink slip.
Oil Can Harry is at this minute working on who to put on this debt reduction panel and who he can trick or bribe the republicans to put on it. RINO's like McCain, Lindsey and Collins that will vote FOR tax increases.
John Boenher for the second time this year had his ass handed to him and he still thinks he did well and so does a lot of the other republican congressmen who voted for this POS bill. The only people that stood strong against this was the tea party members in the house.
We've been screwed again while the GOP country club types and talking heads such as Bill Bennett are trying to sell this as a good compromise... compromise my ASS!
There is so much waste in this system and the only idea the democrats can come up with is to take more from us, raise our taxes and to hit up the rich for more.
It’s much easier than doing some actual work that will cut out programs that allow funds to go to a student to pay his tuition ($22,000) a year plus a stipend for food ($1,000) a month and ($450) a month for rent and after 3 years he can’t speak proper English, carries a D average and uses his rent money on illegal drugs to party with.
Studies have shown that there is somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 billion a year in Medcare fraud. Why are they not tracking this down?
We need people to do the work in DC to restore this country to what it once was, not to vacation, golf, travel, eat and drink on our dime.
I saw a quote from Warren Buffett. He said he could end the debt problem immediately. “Anytime the deficit reached 3% of GDP, all congressman and senators become ineligiable for re-election.

State of US Politics
I cannot believe the state of politics in this country. We, the people, sat by helplessly while Nancy Pelosi and Barrack Obama rammed bills into law by buying votes from congressmen and senators, some examples are the “Cornhusker Kickback” the “Louisiana Purchase” and even one of my senators Sen. Carl Levin got his hands dirty for the insurance companies here in Michigan. A quick Google search will bring these up in detail.
The people spoke loud and clear in the 2010 elections showing congress and the world that we were fed up with these kind of shenanigans and the out of control spending.
Now I sit back and watch as the republican house speaker, John Boehner is pulling the same crap that Pelosi did, twisting arms and making back door deals to get a bill passed that does not cut spending, does not lower the debt ceiling and does not address the growing problem of entitlements.
The republicans have put forth 3 budget proposals in the last year, while the democrats have not put forth a single one, even when they had full control of the house, senate and the White House. Obama put one forward but every single democrat and republican voted against it.
These people (congress) are stealing our money right in front of our eyes and the majority of the people are too stupid to realize it. They sit back watching reality shows, sports or playing video games believing that all is fine in their world so long as they can have these few distractions. The people of Greece thought the same way and now their world has come crashing down. The same has happened in Great Britain.
The governments of those countries have spent them into oblivion and they cannot pay it out anymore and the people are rioting in the streets. This will be coming to a street corner near in a city near you if you don’t wake up and I mean TODAY!

How the Democrats Support the Poor
As I have previously written, you need to look no further than the city of Detroit to see how the Democratic Party has “taken care of the poor”
The plight of Detroit is a perfect example of what a socialist system does to the poor. It rewards those at the bottom by allowing them to squeak by on a meager existence by giving them a monthly check which amounts to the same pay they would make at a minimum wage job after taxes, food and shelter. The government takes care of the food portion for them by way of the bridge card (food stamp program) they get free health care at any emergency room, their heat and electricity are paid for by programs such as MPSC Assistance Program, People Care program and the State Emergency Relief just to name a few and rent is dirt cheap in the city.
All of these programs have one thing in common; they are paid for by our tax dollars.
These politicians have driven the life out of the city, they are constantly trying to bring it back with more of our tax dollars being spent on improvement projects, entitlement programs, jobs bills but none of these work. The only thing that will revive the city is free market capitalism.
If a young professional who works in the city wants to move downtown figuring they’ll be closer to work, there are many nice places to live along the riverfront. However, if that person wants to go buy groceries, shop for clothing, hardware and such, they have to leave the city. The crime in the inner city has driven all of these types of business out.
Neighborhood revitalization will only take place after the city has been scrubbed of crime both on the streets and in city hall.
Crooked politicians like Kwame Kilpatrick, Monica Conyers and Coleman Young have left a bad taste in the mouth of so many. Kwame’s mother Carolyn ‘Cheek’ Kilpatrick, John Conyers, Monica’s husband are among the many that perpetuate this situation.
The jobs in Detroit are becoming non-existent and one of the problems adding to this is illegal immigrants. Michigan is a border state and NumbersUSA.com has rated politicians in our state on how they stand on enforcing our borders to protect our economy, jobs and ultimately its citizens.
Looking over the list of grades given by NumbersUSA for politicians that support protecting our border, we find the bottom 6 US representatives from Michigan are all democrats and all but one represent the Detroit area the only exception is Dale Kildee who hails from Flint. Dale scored a solid D, Sander Levin scored a D-, the two John’s; Conyers and Dingell scored an F and Carolyn “Cheeks” Kilpatrick and Carl Levin scored an F-
People in suburbs are fed up with Detroit. When the people of the city re-elected Kwame even after knowing his crimes, the people in the burbs were greatly disappointed and many washed their hands of the city. A city council member was recorded on camera’s slamming his fist on a table at a council meeting demanding that because the city of “Detroit has an 88% minority rate; 88% of the casino employee’s then should be minorities”. The people in suburbs said “OK, we’ll stay of the casino’s then and see what kind of money they make with just minorities gambling in them” hence the casino’s are now looking at bankruptcy.
The city of Detroit supplies water to most of the suburbs but no one from the ‘burbs’ is allowed on the board that oversees it. I know first-hand how city services work. If you’ve got $50, you can get someone with a tool to turn the water back on if it was shut off for non-payment and it could be years before they find out and if at all. Trash pick-up works the same way; if you own a business, you are required to dump most of your refuse into a rented dumpster, but if you contact the city trash collectors as they go through your alleyway, they’ll take all the trash you have for a $20 bill.
Detroit is probably the most segregated city in the nation. Until the residents become aware of what is really happening in their city and top electing crooks, I’m afraid it will only get worse until Detroit eventually mowed down for farm land and then we’ll have to start all over again.
This is how the democrats support the poor, yet the people still vote for these blood-suckers.

Obama-itis
Obama and his minions attack the people of this country that want a fiscally responsible and constitutionally limited government. They refer to them as right wing nut jobs, tea baggers, Timothy McVeigh wannabes and swastika carrying Nazi’s but they won’t call the people that attempt to blow up US cities and citizens what they are – terrorists.
The terrorists use car bombs and suicide bombs to blow up buildings, parking structures and kill innocent people.
This latest incident with the Times Square bomber is a case in point. If this jihadist would have carried out his mission, we wouldn’t be calling them “made made disasters” as Sherlock Napolitano wishes to refer to them.
We’d be having congressional hearings, senate hearings and if we had someone with balls in the White House, we’d be sequestering every nation that has contributed to the training and funding of these crimes instead of bowing and apologizing for the way the US has treated these poor souls.
If not for the US, most of these countries would still be riding a horse to work.
Obama accuses the US of using “25% of the world resources” when we are only “3% of the world population” So what! We’re not stealing the oil from the Middle East. We’re not robbing the Chinese of all the goods they make. We are paying for them and making these countries filthy rich in the process.
The US has created, designed and manufactured new technologies that have brought health, wealth, life-changing products and conveniences to the majority of the world and in some cases; we have given away the technologies.
How would our world look today had the United States stayed part of the British Empire and never became the world’s super power? Would Great Britain even be a country or would we all be speaking German or Japanese.
Obama needs to replaced; plain and simple. He has only contempt for this country and our way of life. He was programmed all his life starting with his Muslim Marxist father and right on up and through the teachings of Saul Alinsky and his hate-mongering, anti-American preacher, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright who all taught him that America is a “demon” country.
We are a greedy and treacherous people that steal resources from other countries -- we kill women and babies to secure oil and other riches that we hold precious. When he looks at America’s culture and heritage, he sees only the bad. He believes we should take everything from the haves and give it to the have-nots until there is nothing left but the elitists and the have-nots.
The liberals are always in favor of spreading the wealth as long as I’s not their wealth being spread around.
Democrats have long pushed the lie that they are "for the poor" but history paints a different picture.
It was the Republicans that fought and freed the slaves. It was the Republicans that sought restitution to the American Indians for the way they were treated; it was the Republicans that led the Civil Rights movement, it was Strom Thurmond a democrat that holds the record for the longest filibuster when he tried to stop the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
So why does the majority of minorities tend to vote democratic? What is it that the democrats sell that they scoop up?
Democrats sell one promise after another, lie after lie. They are for the poor. They are for keeping the poor -- poor.
