A DISORGANIZED COMMUNITY

The president is out on the campaign trail pretending to instead stump for a jobs plan for America. He has intoned a highly partisan (per usual) teleprompter message meant to rally his base and debase the GOP.

He is not satisfied with just trying to promote his “throw more money away” stimulus spending Jobs Bill that even the Democrats in his own party can’t fully embrace but he must take political shots at the GOP Jobs bill proposal.


The bills that the Republicans have passed in the House that sit DOA on the Senate floor includes lowering the corporate tax rate, repealing Obamacare and Dodd Frank financial reform, streamlining energy exploration permits and placing a moratorium on federal regulations.

Obama’s legislative man on the inside or bouncer of GOP plans is Harry Reid. The re-elected Senate Majority leader from Nevada seems to have the Chicago political way in his blood as he has made a re-election career of blocking Republican legislation and amendments.


This defensive planned interference by Reid’s Senate affords his party leader Obama to play offensive with the opposition by either calling them naysayers to wanting to support police, firefighters and construction workers jobs or curmudgeons for wanting “dirtier air and dirtier water.”

Apparently “dirtier” White House politics is fine with the president that has all but crippled this country’s trust of the Commander and Chief’s veracity on any given subject at any given time.

The bully pulpit has become the taradiddle teleprompter replete with Alinsky rules for radicals no longer even thinly disguised by this president desperation to win a second term.

He spews his invectives against any reasonable alternative to his Marxist ideology condemning Republicans and Tea Party Movement ideas as compassionless and or intellectually inept.

Beyond the president’s over-inflated budget, huge growing debt, ever expanding executive power grabbing his personal ego seems to have become hyper-inflated.

If the president really thinks that beyond his minority Kool-aid dwindling drinking base of unwavering support, he can win over independents and moderates with his attack campaigning bus tour by continuing to bash common sense ideas then he needs a wakeup call.

Wake up Mr. President the 2008 elections are over and you won the Presidency stop campaigning. Wake up Mr. President the 2010 elections are over and your coattails have been snipped into a sports jacket please stop campaigning. Wake up Mr. President the average American does not like to be called names because they disagree with your policies and they know you are still campaigning.

Wake up Mr. President most Americans are glad that there is at least the gridlock in Washington to slow down you and your cabinet of Czars from raiding the treasury to the point of no return for America’s future. Okay now you can campaign.

Your minions have so many varying ideas it will be hard for you to remember their long list of “give-me-for-nothing” while you try and organize their disunity into an Acorn like ballot bully push for votes. Good luck firing up the selfish base laddered with individual agendas that you expect to propel you for another four years in the White House.

Also, you need to remember that as you embrace the retro-hippy crowd (OWS) that echoes a fondly remembered community organizing past, there is a still an invisible siege afoot.
 A waiting quiet, a steely determined group ,
an angst anticipating citizen group , a mainstream majority group that is not holding signs, not defecating on the street, not spitting hatred and not even aware of your bus as it parades into their neighborhoods.


No Mr. President common sense patriots haven’t gone away, we have not given up hope. We see the time get nearer and the lies and propaganda get clearer and clearer that soon, we will answer your alienating American class warfare message with a simple secret ballot casting rebuttal in 2012.

 

I hope your people sleeping on the streets remember to register because this time they will only be able to vote once. Lincoln holds the sear’s message as to your future; “If once you forfeit the confidence of your fellow-citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem.”

J ust O bama B lowing S moke


We have been hearing the president talk about his focus on jobs since he took office. There has been little change in his speeches or political solutions that sounds straight out of the “tax the rich more, spend for the poor more” Democratic Party idea book.

Not only is nothing new in Obama’s latest JOBS proposal except that the word “stimulus” is purposely avoided, his Jobs Plan is being used as a political talking point for Obama’s re-election bus tour and is blatantly cynical.

Yet he and his party have the cheek to suggest that the Republicans are the party of NO and just wishing to keep the economy weak in order to defeat Obama in 2012.


If the Democrats and Obama want to say that the Republicans are blocking real growth and job creation then okay call the bluff.


Why not call the Republicans and see if they join you Mr. President in allowing oil drilling production to proceed by loosening regulations? Why not call them out by suspending all EPA regulations? Why not call them out by giving the Republicans all the cuts, and proposals they have asked for to see if they say NO?

Why not? I think all Americans know why not. The reason is that Republicans would pass those reforms and the country would start to see the economy grow. You don’t want Republican ideas to succeed where you and the Democrats Keynesian policies proved abysmally unsuccessful.


Solyndra the bankrupt poster child solar panel company for stimulus back green job energy alternatives reflects three truths about socialist’s policies, failure, incompetency and corruption.

Whether we call it socialism or crony capitalism the objective and the results mirror the same truth of why government run or backed private industry is an oxymoron. The simple fact that if a company was either successful or had the potential to be successful to private sector investors then the company would not need government financing nor want it.

What company wants to have the government peering over its books or making edicts about how to run its business? The fact that Solyndra could not find private investors until it secured a half billion dollars in federal loan money shows it was a risky venture. The capitalist system has a cure for risky business it is called failure, collapsing as a company and selling off assets or bankruptcy.

Solyndra was begging for government funds to keep it afloat and not only was it awarded half a billion dollars of taxpayer money but also received investment from the Kaiser Foundation that co-incidentally is connected to the President by George Kaiser a big donor to his campaign. This impropriety reeks of corruption well beyond cronyism.

Lastly, we turn to incompetency which must first start with the premise that the only companies standing in a government line for a government handout are already suspect as to their risk. Then you add a bureaucratic cadre of civil servants making determinations as to whom should be favored with taxpayer money and expect them to due diligence with the same vigor as if their own money was on the line.

Moreover, beyond number crunching most private investors know that having or utilizing the brain trust of people knowledgeable about the different industries is vital in the ultimate determination of risk return investment decisions.
 The bureaucrats in government have a vast ignorance of practical application relying more heavily on theoretical business models.
Yes, like Keynesian economics which works great as a college theoretical discussion but has proven time and time again in the practical world to be a huge flop!

Solyndra was Obama’s poster child of success until it went bankrupt. Many questions will be asked of this administration as to whether there was corruption in the form of bribes, pressure applied to regulators or quid pro quo proof of buying White House influence.

One thing is certain; this administration continues to extol capital cronyism and socialists policies in its never-ending bullying of America's capitalists that want the opposite economic policies returned to Washington.

The President may have stopped a personal habit of blowing smoke but when it comes to his desire to ruin this country’s capitalism and turn her into a socialist’s Republic he continues to blow smoke into American faces that just want to have a job.
