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.

How to be a good Liberal – A guide for the rest of us
Virtually anyone can be a Liberal. Simply quit thinking and vote that way. However, to be a Top Notch Liberal, there are some prerequisites. Compare below and see how you rate:
1. You must believe the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.
2. You must believe the same teacher who cannot teach 4th graders to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.
3. You must believe that guns, in the hands of law-abiding Americans, are more of a threat than U.S. Nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Chinese Communists.
4. You must believe there was no art before Federal funding.
5. You must believe global temperatures are less affected by cyclical, documented changes in the earth's climate, and more affected by yuppies driving SUVs.
6. You must believe gender roles are artificial but being homosexual is natural.
7. You must be against capital punishment but support abortion on demand.
8. You must believe businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.
9. You must believe hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists from Seattle do.
10. You must believe self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.
11. You must believe the military, not corrupt politicians, start wars where military personnel, not corrupt politicians, die.
12. You must believe the NRA is bad because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.
13. You must believe taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.
14. You must believe Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, General Robert E. Lee, or Thomas Edison.
15. You must believe standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides aren't.
16. You must believe Hillary Clinton is really a lady.
17. You must believe the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried is because the right people haven't been in charge.
18. You must believe conservatives telling the truth belong in jail, but a liar and sex offender belongs in the White House.
19. You must believe homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites and bestiality should be institutionally protected and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.
20. You must believe illegal Democratic Party funding by the Chinese Communists is somehow in the best interest of the United States , and legal contributions by American businesses are not.

Back Door Jenny
Last night I attended a meeting where the keynote speaker was Matthew Schneider, the president of the Michigan chapter of the Federalist Society and a constitutional college professor. He gave a presentation on about whom the candidates in the upcoming November election are and how they stand constitutionally speaking and what their backgrounds are.
It was very informative.
He also made note of the difference between a “rule of law judge” and a “judge activist” An activist judge rules based on how they feel on a particular issue while a rule of law judge rules based on the law and nothing else.
Activist judges believe they can circumvent the legislature and “make” law based on their decisions. This is not an acceptable option. The basis of our laws were written by our fore fathers who took many years to make sure they got them right and to make sure they could not be mis-read.
All judges up in the 1960’s were constitutional non-partisan rule of law judges and then something began to change, this was about the same time the Democratic Party started it’s crawl towards a European style socialist government.
The part of his presentation I really got an eyeful was the back door deal our Governor Jennifer Granholm pulled off.
Elizabeth Weaver a republican turned moderate-turned liberal judge decided she was ready to retire (we can only assume, she has not let anyone know why). So in order to make sure the seat stayed filled with a judge activist; she made a deal with Back Door Jenny. Elizabeth would step down so long as Jenny would replace her with a “like-minded” judge such as Alton Davis, another judge from northern Michigan who liked to write laws based on his decisions.
Why you might ask does this guarantee the seat for an activist judge?
Seems that most people going to vote who are unaware of whom the judges are will vote for the incumbent 20% more often than not. This is pretty good odds knowing that they will get an additional 20% of the votes based solely on the fact that they are incumbents.
So by Back Door Jenny placing this man in the position just two days before the Democratic Convention and then having the democratic delegates seat him, he is an incumbent.
Ms. Granholm, John Conyers, John Dingell, Kwame Kilpatrick, Monica Conyers and the Democratic Party in general has certainly left their marks on this state in so many ways, from the ruins of Detroit to the million people who have left this state in search of work and the American Dream.
I wonder if Back Door Jenny is done or if she’s got one more up her ass to pull out before she’s gone.

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.

If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.
If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. (Unless it's a foreign religion, of course!)
If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.
If a conservative reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A liberal will delete it because he's "offended".

Free Speech
Why do liberals want to silence talk radio? Mainly because the truth hurts.
Liberal talk radio has never worked. The reason is because there is no substance to their reasoning; it’s all emotions. As was pointed out by Rick Santorum on the Bill Bennett Show, “When conservatives in the house give a lecture or speech on a bill they support, they show charts and graphs to indicate how this plan will work and why”. When a liberal gets up, it’s with pictures and stories of a person suffering”
They never give a solid reason of how the plan will work, what the true cost will be or what effect it will have on the future of our economy and country.
Let’s take the health care bill. Originally, the reason to pass this bill was to cover the uninsured and to reduce costs. John Dingell brought in a woman; Marcia Boehm in a wheelchair from New Jersey to help him sell this plan at a Town Hall meeting in Romulus, Mi in August of 2009. Costs were of no concern to Dingell, destroying the health care of 85% to satisfy the 15% made sense to him. All emotions and no facts.
Consider the outrageous quotes by Florida Rep. Alan Grayson; “We’re dealing with people on the other side who are utterly unscrupulous. These are foot-dragging -- knuckle dragging Neanderthals who known nothing but the word no” Again, emotions, no facts. More of this scholars quotes can be read here
We have to look at what the future holds for this country in the direction the present administration is taking us and we have great examples happening right now in Greece and Great Britain, They are rioting in the streets in Greece because the socialist government has spent every bodies money and now to get the country out of bankruptcy, they must make cut-backs. What a concept! Why didn’t they think of that before they went belly-up?
The same thing has happened in Great Britain. The working class are fed up with paying enormous amounts of taxes to support those that don’t. It has gotten to the point in these countries that if the government takes any more money in taxes, the people will not be able to pay mortgages, rent or automotive loans.
This is the direction that Obama and the democrats are trying to lead us. They think because they can pull it off because they are “smarter” than those in these other countries.
Far be it from me to question a leader that has no experience running a business, has never held a real job in the private sector, and whose main skill set seems to be that of a radical community organizer hell-bent on destroying the capitalist system that provided him the most opportunities and the best possible education in the world.
If it were not for talk radio and conservative news outlets, most of this information would be buried in the state-run media. Free speech must remain free in order for this republic to stand tall.
