Do YOU Fear Obama?

[DOC]

I fear Obama. But then again I get scared of my sock drawer too. Milk, Clowns, guns, people without guns, people with guns, people that don't love animals, people that love animals to much (PETA).

I think Osama is in a hurry to destroy the country, because he only has 2 years before ACORN is disbanded for voter fraud. Or he is using the blitsgreig tactic that Hitler used to take Poland, France and Spain. And that is attack hard and fast and don't stop until you've hit water. Attack so fast that noone knows what happened and when they figure it out, its to late. Someone had to write those thousand page bills that they keep passing without reading. Someone knew what was in it.

I got this today. Makes you think. Sorry for the length
545 vs 300,000,000
EVERY CITIZEN NEEDS TO READ THIS AND THINK ABOUT WHAT THIS JOURNALIST HAS SCRIPTED IN THIS MESSAGE. READ IT AND THEN REALLY THINK ABOUT OUR CURRENT POLITICAL DEBACLE.

545 PEOPLE
By Charlie Reese

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does.

You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations.. The House of Representatives does.

You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-pickingthing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? Nancy Pelosi. She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

Everybody is afraid. If you stand up, you get chopped down by the very people who say they are against chopping you down. There are an awful lot of BS laws and such out there. That's why I quit the SD. But several of my fellows, though disagreeing with some of the laws they upheld/uphold as their job, still enforce those laws.
Until the people hit the streets, it's all whining and crying for nothing.

New here, but lets give this a go.

I am a young and troubled voter. Married to another young and troubled voter. My wife and I were both fervent republicans in our formative years, both active college republicans. We were real believers in the party line.

I think Pancho nailed the key word to us, Principled. I have really felt that the Republican's principles are muddled. I have found no refuge of ethics in the Democratic party either. To clarify, the GOP recently added an piece to their platform seeking a Constitutional amendment to ban homosexual marriage. I am not trying to argue about gay marriage, what bothers me deeply about this is using our Constitution, a document as a whole used to protect our freedoms and keep Washington government out of our lives, to get government into people's lives. This really rubs me all kinds of the wrong way, because what happens after that's done, what's next on the rights chopping block? guns? religious freedom? choice on schools? I think this is an issue that could be left to the States with no problems, under Amendment 10. In a way it seems like I am only worried about a slippery slope, but frankly I agree with the NRA's stand on protecting rights, not giving up one inch without a fight.

In terms of one voice, I have to say, I am friends with quite a few young republicans with a bad taste in our mouth all looking for the same thing. In a way, many many similar voices looking for the same thing.

[DOC]

They gay marriage thing is just a smoke screen. They need to stop the busy work and get some real goals.

[RRD3]

If you ask me, it's not just Obama. It's all the bastards in office. All of them have no clue as to what their responsibilities are and what they should be doing as representatives of the people.

[Mtn.man]

True RRD3 not one asshole in office is worth a shit.We need to take back our country...
So called "public" servants are only there for their own well being.

On another note I found this:

“In my own life, in my own small way, I have tried to give back to this country that has given me so much,” she said. “See, that’s why I left a job at a big law firm for a career in public service, “ Michelle Obama



No, Michele Obama does not get paid to serve as the First Lady and she doesn’t perform any official duties. But this hasn’t deterred her from hiring an unprecedented number of staffers to cater to her every whim and to satisfy her every request in the midst of the Great Recession. Just think Mary Lincoln was taken to task for purchasing china for the White House during the Civil War. And Mamie Eisenhower had to shell out the salary for her personal secretary.

How things have changed! If you’re one of the tens of mill ions of Americans facing certain destitution, earning less than subsistence wages stocking the shelves at Wal-Mart or serving up McDonald cheeseburgers, prepare to scream and then come to realize that the benefit package for these servants of Miz Michele are the same as members of the national security and defense departments and the bill for these assorted lackeys is paid by John Q.
