The Blamer in Chief

From Ray Stevens:

President Obama-'Blamer in Chief'

I usually write songs and this is my first attempt at writing an op-ed piece. It always amazes me how most political commentators beat around the bush. Well, that’s not how you write a song so let’s just cut to the chase and get to the chorus:

My song, "Obama Budget Plan" can be seen on YouTube. It indicates that President Obama's budget plan appears to be to spend as much of our money as he wants, on anything he wants and to pay for it by just printing more money.

The fact is, President Obama doesn’t really seem to have a plan at all. His administration has been working without a budget for almost three years now. He views having to consult Congress as an inconvenience and tries to go around them at every turn.

His latest plan is to blame the Tea Party movement for this country's first-ever credit downgrade because they forced him to face the debt drisis that he created by his out of control spending.

Then he and his aides want to blame S&P for bad judgment in addition to continuing to blame George Bush. President Obama is the “Blamer-in-Chief.”

I try to find the humor in everything but there is nothing funny about what the president, his policies and his associates are doing to this country with the help of a political party that obviously cares more about elections than the great nation they have sworn to protect and defend.

I’m tired of it. I’ve heard it all before and don’t want to hear it anymore.

I’m tired of hearing how we have lost a war and how our troops terrorize and kill innocent people in the dead of night. 

I’m tired of hearing good, honest, caring people like the Tea Party folks being referred to as ‘terrorists” by people who won’t even call a real terrorist a terrorist.

Nothing is going to change in America until those people are defeated at the ballot box and politicians, regardless of their Party, decide to put America first and return her to her roots of free enterprise, fiscal responsibility and fairness.

Halloweenies

I love Halloween. Not for the candy. Well, maybe for the chocolate candy. But mostly for the costumes.

Here are some favorites:

No Condolences

Samir Khan was part of Al Qaeda.

Al-Qaeda  is a terrorist organization.

Ergo, Samir Khan was a terrorist.

So, WTF was THIS  all about?

I wonder how many condolence calls the State Department has made to the families of fallen U.S. Marines, soldiers, airmen, and sailors?

Put Me in Charge

Forwarded to me, author unknown, but obviously a Visionary:

Put me in charge of food stamps.
I'd get rid of food stamp cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Hos; just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away.

 

 If you want steak and frozen pizza, get a job.

 

Put me in charge of Medicaid.
The first thing I'd do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations. Or Vasectomies for men!

 
Then, we'll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine and document all tattoos and piercings.

 

If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, smoke or get tats and piercings, get a job.

 

Put me in charge of government housing.
Ever live in a military barracks?
"You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair." 

 

Your "home" will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried.

 

 If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, get a job and your own place.

 

In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a "government" job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22-inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the “common good..”

Before you write that I've violated someone's rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary.

 

If you want our money, accept our rules.

Before you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin their "self esteem", consider that it wasn't that long ago that taking someone else's money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.

If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.

AND While you are on Government subsistence, you no longer can VOTE!
Yes that is correct. 

 
For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. 

You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Government welfare check.

 

If you want to vote, then get a job.

Recall This?

Remember those recall elections on August 9th in six Wisconsin districts, where six Republican state senators (nearly a third) were basically targeted by labor unions and the Left spent a reported $30 million?

Voter Turnout was high: 63%

Four of the six Republican senators held onto their seats, and the Republicans retained the majority in the state senate.

Before the election: the Mainstream Media was all over the story.

After the election: the air time spent: CBS- 1 minute 55 seconds; NBC-  45 seconds; and ABC- 0 time.

Is this the new American way?
