"Left" Over Change

Well, lookie here, it is the first picture of Shelly O with sleeves on in at least a month. In fact, she is a head scarf shy of wearing a burka. But that is not the point of my post. To understand this picture you must first know that Queen Obama is serving her loyal subjects (and we know their political tilt due to their locale) at a homeless shelter. But look closely at the picture, that is a homeless dude taking her picture with a phone…a Blackberry Pearl nonetheless. NICE. I sure “hope” that she spared him some “change” to pay for his $60+ monthly cell bill.

Looks like I need to dirty up and go begging tomorrow. I don’t have a Blackberry for personal use. But with King Obama, all I need to do is ask…

Well, you knew it was bound to happen sooner or later. Here comes King Barry after our guns. To heck with the 2nd Amendment, the King can't be bothered with trivial antiquated documents like the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution.

Anyone remember the commercials mocking John McCain's inability to send an email? It was a big deal, made even bigger when it was revealed that McCain cannot use a keyboard due to the lingering effects of torture he sustained while fighting for this country. Well it turns out pompous, elitist Barry picked him an equally technology-inept VP. The only difference is that Biden isn't nearly the Hero (and mind you I am not a McCain fan) that John McCain is.

Look at this Early Show clip from this morning. Biden is asked for the Web address of the newly crafted Recovery site (recovery.gov), and he immediately claims ignorance (no need to be overt, we all know, Joe), then looks off camera and asks for the WEBSITE NUMBERS.



Now, either Joe is new to this new-fangled Intraweb thing, or he is so tech savvy that he was going to skip the Web address, and give us the direct DNS link. In that case Joe, the numbers are: 209.225.35.43 (You'll have to cut and paste, Blogger hates IPs). Or, Maybe he is super geeky and was going to give it to all the nerds in binary code. That is a slick idea Joe, slicker in fact than that sweet comb-back hair style you are rocking.

In closing, I like his other line of note: “I'm actually embarrassed.” We know Joe, we all are. You and your King are embarrassing us all.

We have, we have, we have. Anyone that watched today’s State of the Union, or whatever they are calling it, had to be annoyed by that phrase as it was used ad nauseum. Never have I ever seen so much accomplished in so little time. You know, like “We have crammed $2T worth of deficit spending down the throats of Americans,” or “We have rewarded those who do not pay their mortgages to the detriment of those who responsibly pay each month.”

But, let’s take a look at some of the gems from tonight’s performance:



* We learned that this speech is the black Friday of government. Members of Congress begin lining up in the Chambers early in the morning (7 a.m.) to get a seat along the aisle where the president walks in. Craziness. Glad they are doing the people’s business while in there. However, there is a bright side. While they are sitting there, they can’t spend any more of our money.



* Obama announced the pork-laden stimulus bill is saving 50+ police officers in Minneapolis. Great, I am getting to pay for police service that does not benefit me. Thanks, Barry.



* We learned nobody messes with Joe. I think he meant to say nobody listens to Joe. How can you though, he is so muffled by that foot that is perpetually stuck in his mouth.



* Nancy Pelosi is a fan of the Snuggie. She was rocking a beautiful lime green Snuggie tonight. I know because she popped up, clapping like an idiot, a million times. And what‘s with those faces? She had to be drunk.



* They kept shooting over to Tiny Tim (aka Timothy Geithner) in the crowd. Amazingly, he had a look of confusion on his face each time. And here we all thought that look was reserved for when he rolls out TARP guidelines.



* Obama mentioned the fact that he inherited a deficit, to which the Chamber’s left side erupted. Well, fast forward 20 minutes to where you have Jon Kyl – Republican WHIP in the Senate, on Fox with charts showing the deficit. Needless to say, his bar graph shows exponential growth in the last month. He also showed how Obama will reach his goal of cutting it in half by the natural ebbs and flows of repayment. No pork will need cut to achieve his “goal.” Props to Kyl for being prepared with strong talking points and visuals.



* The night wound down with a disappointing rebuttal by Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal. This was the first time I heard him speak, and he seemed awkward. If he is the future of the Republican Party, someone please get him some public speaking courses!

I make no bones about it, Alan Keyes would have made the PERFECT first black president of this nation. In the video below, Alan is making a lot of sense regarding the troubles that face our nation.

I think chasing Obama's citizenship down is not likely to be a fruitful effort (although I have seen some interesting articles on some irregularities on his birth documents), but Keyes' commentary on the handling of our economy is especially on point.

We can only hope to have such a rational conservative as President some day!

How disheartening it was to receive this article showing that a recent Harris Poll shows more Americans list Obama as their hero than Jesus. Perhaps this provides an interesting glimpse into the true problems that are infecting this country.

You hear the jokes about Obama being so many people's savior. Heck, he got that woman in Florida a house and another guy a new job – all he had to do was speak it into existence. But all kidding aside, this is a sad, sad commentary on the state of our union and at least to this blogger, speaks volumes as to the real problem inflicting our society.

Whether the ACLU, liberals or anyone else, wants to admit it, this country was founded on Christian principles. Those principles made this country the envy of all other nations and empires that came before. Now, we've decided to take God out of everything we do, for fear it may offend someone, and look at what we are left with.

When you take your eyes away from the one who can solve all problems, and look to a man, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. I only hope this nation gets its priorities straight before it is too late.

You can read a great article on this subject on the News Busters blog.

Yesterday brought us the Rick Santelli rant and news of an AP Government class in Arizona that were less than enthusiastic about the direction of the country. Well, it seems people are beginning to reach their boiling point.

Today brings us some rather humorous photos from a protest that lined Obama's motorcade route in Arizona. A second similar protest is scheduled for tomorrow in Kansas, where he is again campaigning. You'd think with all that is going on that he'd spend more time at the White House. Then again, all he has done his entire political career is campaign, so maybe he is doing what he knows.





Then there is this. Lansing, Mich., mayor Virg Bernero (a Democrat) who went on Fox News and delivered this tirade on the double standard that exists – the chasm that separates main street and Wall Street. While I agree with his beliefs, Virg could have at least tried to make it look like he was answering the questions. And, come on, there has got to be a studio somewhere in Lansing. A skype connection for an interview? Low rent!



I'd expect more to come in the days and weeks ahead.
