Maybe He Stayed at a Holiday Inn Express Last Night

President Obama went almost every talk show this Sunday. I did not watch any of them because I watch my softball on ESPN. I also didn't watch because I didn't think I would here anything different. I haven't been spoon fed since I was an infant. But George Stephanopoulos changed that. When I woke up this morning I was greeted in my e-mail box with this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFxomW3RqYY. Did you watch it? Before Obama was condescending to Mr. Stepenopoulos, he said, "We're not going to have other people carrying the burden for you." Really? This goes counter to a fundamental belief of his presidency. He believes in the redistribution of wealth. I could link that quote also but I assume you have already seen it. He doesn't want others carrying the burden for others. I think I am part of carrying burden for almost 40% of other Americans. Some Americans not only pay no taxes, but receive money from the government (AKA the taxpayer).

This is what drives me nuts with liberals. They can't apply their logic across the board. He believes in the redistribution on wealth, but in this case, he doesn't. Profit is bad if you're a corporation. Unless you're a corporation that sells carbon credits.(Right Al) But not if you author two books, are Democrat Senator, are an anchor on NBC, CBS, ABC. Making over $200,000 a year is bad. Unless you are a Union President and the previously mentioned persons. Dissent is bad, or should I say racist, unless your opinion is ok'd by Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Barney Frank.

What I think the President is leading to is that his opinion should be accepted as fact. (2+2=5) As much as I disagreed with the policies of the Bush Administration(TARP and the beginning of the auto bailout) I don't remember coming home EVERY NIGHT and catching a president in a contradiction or dare I say it: A lie. What I want is leadership from my President. And not authorizing military request, defunding missile defense, apologizing for our history not talking about what is great about America, and saying you know nothing about the funding ACORN(It was in the stimulus that you supposedly read and now we know you did not). Remember when Afiganistan was where we should have invaded instead of Iraq? All accused criminals have rights, unless you are a former advisor or interigators. I could go on but you get the point.
This is not leadership this is pushing an ideology and Obama as celebrity playing the President.

Thou Shall Not Bear False Witness

Is this President kidding? He is quoting the Bible in front of religious leaders! Didn't he say that the ignorant (emphasis is mine) people just cling to their guns and religion? How can he say that if you disagree with his health care plan, all you can do is lie? What has he said? What I want is leadership. Fine he and I disagree on weather government can run health care for everyone. But what is the counter argument? I want Barack to come out and say "that the plan I want is A...B...C...D. "But he can't. What he wants is what 88% of Americans do not want and that is a single payer system. And for all of you who do not understand what that means I will spell it out for you. It is one entity paying for all health care. AKA the Government. AKA You, with higher taxes. Now I know that some receive money from the government and it is no burden to you, but I pay 36% of my income to the government. It is my highest debtor including my health insurance, car payments...well all other bills combined. Put and end to this monopoly! Single payer leads to rationing...fact. Single payer leads to higher taxes...fact. Single payer is more government dictating in your life...fact. Where are the lies? Death Panels...the whole bill is a death panel. I am not bearing false witness here, I believe this. The fact is that competition leads to better service and better products. The example is the computer. Years ago the computer used to take up entire rooms of the office building and were VERY expensive. Now you can put them in your lap and sip a non-fat, half-whip-mocha-green tea-frappacino while search out the next corporation to hate. This is insanity. I know....Iknow....we all have the right to not go broke if we get sick. What about cars, groceries, homes. Wait they already tried the latter and look where we are now. I want leadership, not rhetoric, the campaign season is over and it is time to lead. But this administration can't because they have TO SELL us the policies because they have ALL failed in the past. Please if you call yourself a Progressive can you please progress past the 1940's. FDR is dead and Keynesian economics have never worked. Hope vs Fear please I do not fear what I have already seen does not work. I'll end with question: Name ONE government program that has not gone into debt, lowered prices and been more efficient? Just one.
