We're In The WRONG Gear!!!

With so much that has occurred in the two weeks since my last posting; I’m changing up the topics in this, Part Two of this series. Suffice is to say, it has been more than strongly suggested by members of both parties that the Obama Administration’s refusal to lift the Jones Act, mostly has to do with protecting the pocketbooks of his union allies by keeping foreign vessels at bay. The Jones Act is part of The Merchant Marine Act of 1920 is a United States Federal statute that regulates maritime commerce in U.S. waters and between U.S. ports. Section 27, also known as the Jones Act, deals with cabotage (i.e., coastal shipping) and requires that all goods transported by water between U.S. ports be carried in U.S.-flag ships, constructed in the United States, owned by U.S. citizens, and crewed by U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents. The purpose of the law is to support the U.S. Maritime industry, sources. In addition, amendments to the Jones Act, known as the Cargo Preference Act provide permanent legislation for the transportation of waterborne cargoes in U.S.-flag vessels. Still, the issue is now seemingly moot seeing as how the Comrade in Chief did finally lift the act, no matter how late in the game, BP managed to cap the leak and the Gulf is thankfully in the process of being restored to its previous pristine condition. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of its inhabitants. It’s being reported that over 20,000 jobs have been lost due to the six-month drilling ban in the Gulf that has been enacted. Unemployment is already at its peak in US history with over half a million Americans (and if the idiot has his way, soon a few hundred thousand illegal’s) filing for unemployment benefits last week alone. That in mind, how sound of an executive decision does it seem to impose these restrictions to appease his tree-hugger friends, etc? Moving on…Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, in my opinion, has the worst job in the world. He is basically paid to look like a bumbling idiot as a red herring to smoke and mirrors the fact that it is his boss, Obumbler, who is actually Le’ Incompetent. He appeared on Fox and Friends this morning and was interviewed by Gretchen Carlson. When Carlson asked Gibbs if tonight the President will admit that the surge worked, the Press secretary replied that Obama always said that putting 20,000 more troops on the ground would work. Unfortunately for Gibbs, just before the interview, Carlson showed the audience a video where Candidate Obama said that adding the troops would not work. Caught in a "misstatement" Gibbs went on the defensive and the fun ensued, including Carlson asking if President Obama was going to credit President Bush tonight during his speech for the success in Iraq--five times. Instead of answering the question, Gibbs counted the number of times Carlson asked. "That's the second time you asked the question...third...etc.” Predictably, Gretchen never got her answer, and so neither did we. It’s being predicted that in his address to the nation tonight, Obama will announce that all US troops will be out of Iraq by the end of 2011. That, however, begs the question; with just around 50,000 troops still on the ground there and still no coherent government to speak of, with violence and upheaval at its highest rate in the 7.5 years we’ve been there; are we just abandoning a region whose soil is still fertile for terrorism? Finally, last week while Osama, err…Obama took his 9th, 10th, 11th??? vacation since taking office (I can understand; I need a nap after power-spending at the mall. Difference is; I’m spending my own money), the House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) called Tuesday for the mass firing of the Obama administration's economic team, including Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner and White House adviser Larry Summers, arguing that November's midterm elections are shaping up as a referendum on sustained unemployment across the nation and saying the "writing is on the wall." Boehner said President Obama's team lacks "real-world, hands-on experience" in creating jobs that are needed for a full economic recovery. The Republican lawmaker cited reports that some senior aides complained of "exhaustion," including the recently departed budget Chief Peter Orszag. "President Obama should ask for - and accept - the resignations of the remaining members of his economic team, starting with Secretary Geithner and Larry Summers, the head of the National Economic Council," Boehner said in the morning speech to business leaders at the City Club of Cleveland. The mass dismissal, he added, would be "no substitute for a referendum on the president's job-killing agenda. That question will be put before the American people in due time. But we do not have the luxury of waiting months for the president to pick scapegoats for his failing 'stimulus' policies." Vice President Biden lashed back at Boehner, called his "so-called" economic plan nothing but a list of what Republicans are against and devoid of innovative new ideas that can help move the country forward. If this is forward; I’d hate to see reverse. JGG original post at http://politicalpatrol.blogspot.comNEED A BLOGGER? I'M AVAILABLE TO BLOG FOR YOU. CONTACT ME AT THE ABOVE ADDRESS.

Ya Say Ya Wanna Revolution

The roof hasn’t collapsed yet, but the walls are caving in.

In this part of a new three part series called, “Ya Say Ya Want a Revolution,” we’re going to try to figure out what the hell he’s doing in Arizona with SB1070 (the new immigration law), the mosque at Ground Zero and that annoying Michele Obama commercial where she’s virtually begging us to send money to Haiti when it was reported yesterday that more American’s are collecting food stamps to feed their families as they wait for the sheriff to come serve them their eviction notices and put the lock on the door.

Part two is going to cover the Gulf oil spill and the real reason it took him so long to lift the Jones Act (hint, hint—unions), OGodHelpUs’s decision to finance off-shore drilling in Brazil, and his moratorium on deep water drilling in the Gulf.

Part three will cover and explain the new taxes coming our way, soon. So much for that campaign promise; along with all the others.

So let’s get started. Arizona’s new immigration law SB1070…a synopsis:

The Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act (introduced as Arizona Senate Bill 1070 and thus often referred to simply as Arizona SB 1070) is a legislative act in the U.S. state of Arizona that is the broadest and strictest anti-illegal immigration measure in decades. It has received national and international attention and has spurred considerable controversy.

U.S. federal law requires certain aliens to register with the U.S. government, and to have registration documents in their possession at all times. The Arizona Act additionally makes it a state misdemeanor crime for an alien to be in Arizona without carrying the required documents, bars state or local officials or agencies from restricting enforcement of federal immigration laws, and cracks down on those sheltering, hiring and transporting illegal aliens. The paragraph on intent in the legislation says it embodies an "attrition through enforcement" doctrine.

In March of 2010, rancher Bob Krentz and his dog were killed by an illegal alien from Mexico and just a couple of weeks ago two more American’s were murdered by who were believed to be Mexican drug lords. Forgive me, but I’d rather insult an alien and protect an American than have it the other way around, but that’s just me. No offense.

Critics of the legislation say it encourages racial profiling, while supporters say the law prohibits the use of race as the sole basis for investigating immigration status. The law was modified by Arizona House Bill 2162 within a week of its signing with the goal of addressing some of these concerns. There have been protests in opposition to the law in over 70 U.S. cities, including boycotts and calls for boycotts of Arizona. Polling has found the law to have majority support in Arizona, as well as nationwide. Passage of the measure has prompted other states to consider adopting similar legislation. And let’s hope they do; CLOSE OUR BORDERS!!!!

The mosque at Ground Zero is going to be a reality with President Obama weighing in forcefully, saying “…a nation built on religious freedom must allow it.”


“As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country,” Obama told a crowd gathered at the White House Friday evening to observe the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

He also then personally wished all Muslims around the world a happy Ramadan.

Who the hell is this guy? I wouldn’t be surprised to find him worshiping at the damn mosque himself in disguise.

The White House had not previously taken a stand on the mosque, which would be part of a $100 million Islamic community center two blocks from where nearly 3,000 people perished when hijacked jetliners slammed into the World Trade Center towers on Sept. 11, 2001. Press secretary Robert Gibbs had insisted it was a local matter.

But Obumbler’s tune changed when he concluded “that that includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances,” he said. “This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable.”

No offense, but this guy is either a terrorist, himself…or just a real idiot. Does he not get that when those bulldozers show up to dig up the ground and churn the earth, the MURDERED BODIES of AMERICAN CITIZENS will be bulldozed along with it? He gets it, seriously, how could he not…he just doesn’t care.

Now, on to Michelle, the racist that the socialist is married to. Who else is beginning to find her annoying in that commercial with her persistent plea for us to text, “fuck America” to 999999 to send Haiti $10.

Now don’t get me wrong, I had no problem with America responding to the immediate disaster, I’m not heartless, I saw the footage on TV; I even donated myself…but come on, it happened more than 7 months ago. In January there were 498000 claims for unemployment, last count in August of 2010, there were 14,000+ more filing.


1.41 MILLION Americans filed for personal bankruptcy in 2009, alone. Who has $10 bucks to send to Haiti? No offense, of course.

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a TelePrompTer installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smart...er men behind the scenes? If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved? If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved? If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved? If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved? If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky? If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved? If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the nonexistent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip? If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved? If George W. Bush had stated that there were 57 states in the United States, would you have said that he is clueless. If George W. Bush would have flown all the way to Denmark to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him walking out his front door in Texas, would you have thought he was a self important, conceited, egotistical jerk. If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment? If George W. Bush had misspelled the word "advice" would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoes as proof of what a dunce he is? If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite? If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11? If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence? If George W. Bush had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America, would you have approved. If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved? If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved? If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved? So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 15 months -- so you'll have two years and nine months to come up with an answer.
