Obama's Crazy Green jobs Czar

Foxnews.com has just reported:
Fox News Article

"President Obama's 'green jobs' adviser could become a mounting liability for the Obama administration, as the latest revelation about Van Jones shows his belief that the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks could have been an inside job. Jones joined the "9/11 truther" movement by signing a statement in 2004 calling for then-New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer and others to launch an investigation into evidence that suggests "people within the current administration may indeed have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen, perhaps as a pretext for war." 'The statement asked a series of critical questions hinting at Bush administration involvement in the attacks and called for "deeper inquiry." It was also signed by former Rep. Cynthia McKinney and Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans."

This is who Obama surrounds himself with in his administration? More evidence that Obama is a left wing radical, surrounding himself with Anti-American loons.

Obama and "Torture"

From http://www.samspolitics.com/
President Obama recently ordered the CIA and the Justice Dept. to release memos outlining the exact interrogation techniques American operatives used to extract information from known terrorists. Some of these methods include water boarding, sleep deprivation and scare tactics involving bugs. These are the techniques that the President has termed "torture," and has outlawed, even though these techniques were incredibly effective in gaining valuable intelligence and preventing further terrorist attacks. In short, these techniques literally helped save American lives. President Obama and other hysteric liberals inaccurately call these effective techniques "torture." Ask John Mccain and he'll tell you about torture, or watch a youtube video of Islamofascists decapitating Daniel Pearls head, and you'll get a better understanding of what torture really is.
President Obama and other liberals self righteously state that America is above "torture" and that we cannot compromise our values in our fight against terrorism. Really? Basically, the President is saying that if it were known that a captured terrorist had information about an impending attack, we would not put a scary bug in his cell to compel him to speak in order to uphold our "values." What a bunch of BS. What about the American value of stopping Americans from being incinerated to death, or crashed into buildings on 747s? This morning the President stated that protecting Americans is his number one priority. If this were the case then the President would not mind violating the rights of known terrorists, with the blood of American citizens on their hands, in order to prevent future attacks. It is clear that the President is putting the rights and well being of terrorists over that of Americans.

Obama is Misleading the American People

From http://www.samspolitics.com/
President Obama is being extremely misleading when he states that his plans to reform healthcare, energy and education are essential in order to jumpstart our economy. This is simply not true as education, healthcare and energy have very little to do with this economic crisis. The economic crisis is centered in the financial sector and the housing market. The reason for the housing crisis, by the way, is because for years liberal in congress have been coercing banks to make loans to unqualified borrowers, because of a misguided liberal compassionate notion that everybody should own a home. It is because of this intervention in the free market that housing collapsed. Any way, back to the point.
Obama is using this economic crisis to impose his big government ideology on the American people, in a way that has no connection with the economic crisis. Now, legislating Universal healthcare may be good policy, if one believes in socialized medicine (which I do not), however, healthcare costs have nothing to do with our economic troubles. And even if they did, how would insuring another thirty or so million Americans make healthcare cheaper? It makes absolutely no sense. Like I said, it may be good compassionate policy, but it will not help our economy in the slightest.
The same can be said for education. Vastly increasing the money we spend on public education may good policy, but it will not jumpstart our economy. Perhaps in twenty years this may help our economy, but for now the President should be focused on getting our economy out of the gutter, a very difficult task, that has little to do with education. And if the President were so concerned with education he would legislate the voucher program, wherein parents choose what schools their children go to, increasing competition and quality of education.
The President has also said that an energy overhaul is needed to help our economy. Well, this may be true, but his strategy has nothing to do with making energy cheaper; in fact, his policy proposals will do the exact opposite. The President is proposing new energy taxes and cap and trade. These two initiatives have nothing to do with improving energy prices and everything to do with preventing global warming. Once again, preventing global warming may good public policy, but it has absolutely nothing to do with improving our economy! If the President were so concerned with energy prices he would advocate exploration into America’s vast oil fields off the coast of California and Florida, and in Alaska.

Obama Strangles Free Market

From http://www.samspolitics.com/ - Today stocks plunged nearly 300 points. Since Obama took office, the Dow has lost nearly 20% of its total value. Is it possible that all the lofty expectations for President Obama were too unrealistic? President Obama has set aside $600 billion for universal healthcare, before any specific plans for it's implementation have been formulated. Is it wise to be pursuing such an ambitous, expensive and unproven agenda item, such as universal healthcare, in these troubling economic times? This is in addition to the $800 billion stimulus package, and the proposed $400 billion spending bill. The President is also planning tax increases for all those earning above 250 thousand per year; these people are also known as the "job creators." Does the President think that penalizing the main investors and employers in our society is going to help the economy? If he does he is in for an unpleasant surprise, as raising the income and capital gains taxes are going to discourage investments and entrepreneurial ingenuity. Furthermore, it is misleading for the President to state that taxes will only be increased for the affluent, as he is planning to cap greenhouse gasses, which will lead to higher energy prices and taxes for everyone in society. On top of that, the President is proposing to reduce the amount of money the rich can write off for charitable donations, which will undoubtedly have very negative consequences for charities, as the rich will not give as much. The over regulation and intervention of Obama's government is too overbearing for the free market to handle, and the Dow Jones is proof.

(As seen on Samspolitics.com) The "man-made global warming leading to catastrophe" nuts were at it again in DC, protesting in the midst of a huge snow storm and freezing temperatures. Its as if G-d was trying to get a message across to these loons. The sad likelyhood is that none of these protesters even made the connection, as global warming hysteria has morphed into a religion, wherein reason and science cannot deter ones belief that global warming will destroy mankind. President Obama has joined the fight against the sun, and is proposing cap and trade, which would increase the costs of energy for all Americans.

From Fox News Article - Global warming activists stormed Washington Monday for what was billed as the nation's largest act of civil disobedience to fight climate change -- only to see the nation's capital virtually shut down by a major winter storm. Schools and businesses were shuttered, lawmakers cancelled numerous appearances and the city came to a virtual standstill as Washington was blasted with its heaviest snowfall of the winter. It spelled about six inches of trouble for global warming activists who had hoped to swarm the Capitol by the thousands in an effort to force the government to close the Capitol Power Plant, which heats and cools a number of government buildings, including the Supreme Court and the Capitol. The snowy scene, with temperatures in the mid-20s, was reminiscent of a day in January 2004, when Al Gore made a major address on global warming in New York -- on one of the coldest days in the city's history. Protest organizers said about 2,500 people braved the blizzard to oppose greenhouse gas emissions, but the shroud of snow wasn't the only wet blanket in the nation's capital Monday. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who called on the architect of the Capitol to stop burning coal at the power plant last week, cancelled her appearance at the rally because her flight to Washington was cancelled.

Obama's Address to the Nation

Although I disagree with most of the substance of his rhetoric, President Obama clearly delivered another incredible speech last night. However, this speech was nothing more than a trojan horse for a funbag of liberal goodies. The President and I share the common goal of getting America out of this economic crisis, but we fundamentally disagree on the path to take. Last night the President presented the most ambitious and expensive spending plan in the history of America. He wants to guarantee health care and a college education for everyone, as well as cap CO2 emissions. Exactly how does he plan to pay for all of this in a dreadful economy. It was comical to hear him speak about his dedication to fiscal responsibility and restraint in one breath, while touting these expensive spending programs in the next. The thing that struck me the most last night was his statement about implementing cap and trade on CO2 emissions, which would inevitably lead to the rationing of energy, a decrease in supply, and ultimately an increase in the cost of energy. During this time of economic hardship we should not be saddling businesses with further regulations, which will increase the cost of business for everyone.

Cheney Criticizes President Obama

(From Samspolitics.com) In an interview with Politico.com former Vice President, Dick Cheney, criticized President Obama for not prosecuting the War on Terror as Bush did. Cheney is referring to Obama's plans to close Gitmo and prohibit the use of enhanced interrogation techniques. In addition, Cheney believes that President Obama is too concerned about America being loved around the world. Cheney makes an excellent point, as much of the world is a moral wasteland, and America should only be worried about sticking to our core values. America is the greatest country in the world because we are the only country that consistently fights evil around the world. If we start acting in a way because we want to be liked, then America will no longer be exceptional.

Cheney said:
“When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry...The United States needs to be not so much loved as it needs to be respected. Sometimes, that requires us to take actions that generate controversy. I’m not at all sure that that’s what the Obama administration believes.” (For more click on link above)

The Obama Nominee Fiasco

(From Samspolitics.com) Tom Daschle is the 2nd Obama cabinet nominee who did not pay his full share of taxes. As a result, Daschle has dropped out as potential Secretary of Health and Human Services, a significant position in the Obama administration, in charge of overhauling healthcare. The other was Timothy Geithner, who was just approved as Secretary of the Treasury, despite his tax problems. Obama's judgement should be called into question after these two botched nominations, because Geithner and Daschle were either too incompetent to figure out how much taxes they owed, or worse, they intentionally decieved the IRS.
This story is very ironic in two ways. First, assuming Daschle and Geithner did not intentionally withhold money, one must wonder how the Federal Government expects regular citizens to figure out how much money they owe in taxes, when the people who legislate those laws cannot figure it out themselves! The tax laws are extremely complex and outdated. In addition, it is almost comical that two members of the Democratic party did not pay tens of thousands of dollars in taxes owed to the government. After all, the Democrats are the party of higher taxes, especially for the top earners, a group which Geithner and Daschle are surely a part of, and thus when top Democratic Officials do not pay their taxes it comes off as a little hypocritical. If Geithner and Dachle do not want to pay nearly half of their income to the government, then they should lobby for lower taxes, like Republicans!
