Obama gets a peace prize and then declares war on Fox News

How special is that? The thin skinned Kenyan, according to this report is sending more of his troops to do battle against Fox News than he's sending to the "real war" in Afghanistan. Why? Because he's a wuss, that's why.

Being from the south side of Chicago, he acts as if he's Bad, Bad Leroy Brown...the baddest man in the whole damned town. But we know how that turned out. Criticism is beyond his pay grade, imperfections be damned. His demands are superficial at best, delirious at most. I've yet to see Mr. Obama walk on water, turn water into wine, or part the Red Sea, but maybe I haven't been paying real close attention.

Sending out Robert Gibbs to do battle for him is not the answer, Gibbs, at best, is only a puppet, but most of all, a dumb puppet at that. Axlerod and company, going on record of saying that Fox News is not a real news organization is akin to stating that Obama and company are not really leaders of America.

It wasn't that long ago, they, the Obama administration, declared war on Rush Limbaugh, then Glenn Beck, and now the entire Fox News organization. What are these folks so afraid of? I'll tell you what they fear...they fear the absolute truth. The truth being that Obama is in way over his head, the truth being that Obama has no clue how to lead. He knows how to campaign and work a teleprompter, but other than that, he's worthless. Yes, I said worthless.

With all the problems going on today, such as Iran and their nukes, the falling of the US currency, the continuing rise of unemployment here in the USA, plus the fact the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and these people have time to wage war against a TV enterprise. I'm glad to see where their priorities lie. It's so important that they win this battle of network/cable TV, because that is the war that is of the greater good for America, right?

Health care has turned into Stealth care. There's a 1502 page bill out there, and yet, no one has a clue as to what it says. But trust Team Barry, right? With the poll numbers dropping like a lead balloon, they continue to muddle along, not caring what the people think or want. And the sad situation is that networks like MSNBC, CBS, NBC, and others, are having Obamagasms at the sound of his voice. My evidence is Chrissie Matthews, who gets a tingle up his leg at the mere mention of the Won's name. Matthews cannot contain himself, as he drools helplessly, while he talks about his savior, Obama. He is the suck up of suck ups. Matthews has been acting like a low rent crack addict, in my opinion. Seems to me that Chrissie is just trying to maintain his lube job, you know, just in case.

The sad thing is, at the moment, there's not nickel's worth of difference between the two parties. One is taking the USA to hell at 75 mph while the other is doing the same at 60 mph. It's time for a real change. Not hope and change, but real change. Just because a candidate has an R beside their name will not cut in this next election. I prefer to see a "C",meaning a true conservative. Anything less is more of the same.

We don't need this big tent BS. We don't even need a tent. That's what got us into the mess we have today. For example, look at Newt and his backing of the NY candidate for the House. We don't need a tent mentality, we need a bunker busting mentality. Until we get there, we can expect more of the same. As the old song states in "Henry the 8th I Am"... second verse, same as the first. If we allow this next election to be more of the same, then we truly deserve what we get.

Our Commander-in-Chief: War with the media

Our brave and fearless leader has dared to go to war...with Fox News, while General Stanley McChrystal was allowed a mere 25 minutes with President Obama, while waiting aboard Air Force One, after making his plea for bringing the Olympics to Chicago. It seems as if this administration sent more of his troops to wage war on Sarah Palin in Alaska, when they went dumpster diving, looking for anything to derail her political chances.

I remember Obama making the comment that he was skinny, but tough. Right, take your bad self to wage war with those tough guys at Fox News and ignore the pleas of your military leaders. Obama even spent more time in making his decision regarding his new dog, than the time he has spent meeting with General McChrystal. How's that for a guy that claimed he would be ready to lead from day one. I must disclose here, several things: I DO NOT watch Fox News, or any news, because I had a John Prine(AKA Blow Up Your TV)moment and blew up my TV quite a few years ago. I made that decision after watching the Super Bowl in 2002, when Ray Charles sang America the Beautiful at halftime, and as tears filled my eyes, I realized that it (TV) would probably not get any better than that. I am NOT a registered Republican. I DO NOT vote according to party affiliation.

Having said that, I honestly think that if Barack Obama had been white, he would not have had a chance to become President of the USA, so go ahead and call me a racist. I don't care. He has not inspired any hope that I can see, and the change, well, it's even worse than I expected. Even worse, is the people whom make up his inner circle. I'm just thankful that Leon Trotsky is unavailable to serve today, as he may be a major player in our political arena were he still alive.

This administration has already taken over the auto industry, pretty much, along with the banking and financial institutions, and now going after the last of the media people that refuses to be a puppet for his agenda, and now wanting to take over the Health Care industry, this whole mess wreaks of disaster. With the alphabet media already carrying water for the President's agenda, along with the big newspapers across the country, all while losing money, they are still brazen enough to complain about fairness. If Obama had to speak without his teleprompter, he wouldn't be able to complete a sentence without having to take a time out. He would be worse than Charles Barkley, even though Barkely was the victim of a prank that had been set up. Also, Barkely has much thicker skin than Obama. See clip below.



Obama may have a good jump shot on the hardwood, dance with Ellen and be cool, and read a speech with the best of them, but that doesn't make the man a statesman, or even a leader. He is in way over his head, and it shows more and more every day. I'm not concerned in regards to how he's going to do with this war against the media, I'm concerned about how he will respond to terror, real terror, that continues to take the lives of great Americans who serve in our military. All I can say is, please, sir, make a decision, get on with it, or bring them home and cut YOUR losses, and don't try to lay the blame on someone else. This is your call, and your call alone. As we say down here, either pee or get off the pot.

Cash for Clunkers...the expanded edition


Here's an idea for the people. Well, we've already seen how efficient Obama's Used Cars business has been doing. Several billion dollars later, and no one seems to be getting paid, so it's beings shut down tonight. Doesn't that excite you about Obama's Health Care System? Regardless, I can see light at the end of the tunnel, if you'll stick with me here.

Let we the people, take this Cash for Clunkers to another level and see what we can do with it, except we go in another direction with it. Our plan would be that the Clunkers, now referred to as incumbents, would be put out to pasture. How? The Cash, would go to new politicians, seeking to take our country back while down sizing the government and the power it holds over the people. In essence, it would actually be like No More Cash for Clunkers. I like the sound of that much better.

People all over the nation are taking part in the town hall meetings and making their voices heard. Yet, these people are called names and ridiculed, called names such as mobs, Nazis, criminals, terrorists, and much more. Why? Simply because they happen to disagree with what's going on in DC. It's funny that as recent as a year ago, it was patriotic to do such things. Now, we're racists, haters, dividers, rednecks, right wing extremists...and those are our better points.

What the elected elites refuse to acknowledge is that both sides are in this together. Dissent is not divided by parties. Don't take my word for it, have a look at the polls and the approval ratings of the present administration. I predict that as we watch their approval ratings plummet, there will be many incumbents putting a great distance between themselves and this administration. Again, this will prove that there is a fine line between being loyal to their party versus their own graft and greed. Self serving, one and all. To prove my point, how many of these weak kneed twits are holding their meetings in gated communities, in order to avoid any serious blow back?

This is not a left vs right problem, or a liberal vs conservative problem...this is a bona fide "we need to take control of the government" problem. Too many things that are going on do not pass the constitutional smell test. We are being told one lie after another, and it's not going to get any better. In the eyes of the elected, we're all a bunch of idiots who have no idea what's best for us. Maybe so, but we don't need even bigger idiots looking out for our welfare either. If all the things they're trying to do in Washington, DC were good for everyone, why haven't the elected bellied up to the bar to sign onto these programs first? I'll tell you why. Because it's all a bunch of BS, and they know it, and now, they know that we know it.

It warmed my heart to see the Marine stand up to Congressman Brian Baird, D-Washington State. The best line of the video was "Stay away from my kids." Folks, the elected do not want to hear the truth, and they are very afraid of the backlash they're seeing. We haven't seen anything yet. The elected will pull out all stops as they try to throw America under the bus, but what they don't understand is this:

America owns the bus, pays for the bus, and is driving the bus, and it ain't a clunker either. God bless America.

Get on board with Read the Bills Act

Are you tired of the same old crap from the politicians in DC regarding the numerous bills that are passed without the dimwits even reading and knowing what is inside the bill?  If so, the please join this cause.

It's bad enough that our country is steadily going in debt and down the tubes, while the administration does nothing to help the situation.  As an example, look at California, who has had to offer IOU's to it's creditors, while at the same time, paying over a million bucks for the Michael Jackson memorial service.  How can they justify that?

Is this one of those "Mama Told Me Not to Come" moments? Our federal government is in hock up to it's hips in alligators, yet, here we are still acting like everything is normal and going so well. The national unemployment rate is approaching 10%, but the folks in DC want to tell us not to panic, even though they use the excuse of how urgent it is that we move now on these problems. Well, to be honest, if these idiots acted as if we were in an emergency, I may could go along with it, but those that continue to spend like drunken sailors do not convince me that the folks in DC know what the hell they're doing...at all.

Legislators that do not read the bills they're passing have no excuse.  Why do we wonder why the country is in such a mess?  We have a bunch of lifers in DC that think we should cater to them instead of them working for us.  No one, and I mean absolutely no one among the more than 600+ elected seem to have a clue as how the economy works.  These same fools are clueless as to our national security as well.  It's nothing more than botox and BS, with BS being the leader in regards to our real time problems.

The transparency crap is more blather.  Obama is just another lying tool that used his bully pulpit to tear down America.  Imagine if you worked for a company and you didn't take the time to read procedures and such regarding your job and all things related to it.  What would be the consequences?  And they want us to believe that they're the brightest and best.  Horse manure.

And all this shovel ready BS is just that.  The only thing that is shovel ready is the back of the shovel meeting the face of the elected.  Shovels are made for digging, and they're doing quite well at that.  There needs to be a bunch of people marching on the Capitol and exclaim that we've had enough, that is, if we can do so without fear of the Attorney General wanting to round us up and send us off somewhere.

Hope and change?  Right.  I'm sorry, but I have come to the conclusion that too many people in America couldn't grab their own butts with both hands, nor find it with a flashlight and a map.  Just keep on being good little sheeple and allow yourselves to be herded off somewhere to keep you fat and sassy.  I mean, it's no problem, really.  For now, it's the American way.  We should all apologize for being insensitive to the other countries who have ravished their people.  After all, they deserved it, right?

Do sensible people think we can endure more of this until 2016?  If so, God save America.

Will Whomever is in Charge Please Answer Me This?

It's been stated that regarding this new stimulus package, that only one person has read the entire bill.  So, if that be so, how can anyone, Democrat, Republican, or Cousin It tell us what is in the bill?  I do sincerely hope that the people will vote all incumbents out in 2010.  Sure, we'll have screw ups, but at least let's allow a new bunch to do the screwing up.

Leahy proposes a truth commission


What a joke.

Can you imagine having to choose from the elected in DC to form a truth commission?  How about while you're at it, look for 3 wise men and a virgin.

"Leaky" Leahy has a known problem of having loose lips.  Yet, this pathetic public official wants to have a truth commission?  This should be lots of fun.  Let's see who we could appoint to this wonderful bunch.  How about Tom Daschle?  Nah, he has tax and other problems.  How about, say, Caroline Kennedy?  Ah, no, um, she's not like, um, elected, um, and um, she's a very, um, private, um, person.

Maybe Nancy Pelosi can come up with some of her closest friends, such as John Murtha.  He should pass with flying colors, right?  After all, he's the King of Pork, and we can all see by the package of crap that is supposed to stimulate the country is anything but that.  A Truth Commission.  Say it a few times to yourself and tell me if that alone will not induce much laughter?

Yea, and that Rangel fellow.  He can smell a tax break hundreds of miles away.  Wouldn't he be a perfect fit, maybe along with ole Slick Willie Jefferson, and even maybe Chris Dodd, and all the other friends of Angelo.  Yea, that would be a real truth squad, considering the truth has never been told amongst them.  I hope theyll put this commission together quickly and get this thing rolling.  America needs the comic relief.

Inflate Your Tires to Deflate Drilling

And don't forget about those tune ups.

And this is one of the 2 brightest and best we have to choose from for the next President of the Two Americas?  I'll also say that McCain isn't anything to get excited about either.  I wouldn't doubt that if McCain weren't the presumptive nominee, he would probably vote for the Democrat.

However, Obama is way too inexperienced to lead this country.  He keeps harping on change.  Well tell me, what change did he accomplish while a State Senator in Illinois?  What change has he accomplished in his first term as a US Senator?  I'm not asking for plural, as in changes, but in the singular...as in, one change.

Now, I still urge you to take heed of the wisdom you will see and hear below.  Remember, there's no need to drill if you'll just keep your automobile tuned up and your tires inflated as needed.  One more thing, how long will it be before the new and improved President of 2 Americas is able to use that same air that keeps our tires correctly inflated, to fill the gas tanks of the new automobiles that Obama will create in order for us to wean ourselves of oil altogether?

Dear John

There's been some controversy regarding the John Edwards love child thing, and he's not talking.

The National Enquirer added another chapter to the life and times of John Edwards.  Last November, he was accused of having an affair with a certain lady who was being paid by his campaign.  Her job was to create some on the trail videos for then presidential candidate Edwards.

Next, there were rumors of the woman being pregnant with his child, but one of Edwards' staffers claimed to be the father of the child.  My question is this:

Regardless of who the father is, I'd like to know in which of those 2 Americas that former Senator Edwards so fondly spoke of, was this love child conceived?

A copy of  the birth certificate of said child, can be found at the Charlotte Observer website.

Scientists discover a way to reverse memory loss in 'accidental breakthrough'

An exerpt here:  "Scientists have stumbled on a world first in helping a man improve his memory.

They were experimenting with deep-brain stimulation in an attempt to curb the appetite of a 30st patient who suffered from a lifelong obesity problem.

Electrodes were pushed into his brain and stimulated with an electric current."

All is well.  It seems they remembered them after they had forgotten about them.  Sounds kind of John Kerryish to me.

All of a sudden, they were sitting around together getting stoned and then one of the good doctors declared between tokes:  "oh yea... [cough, cough, hack, hack] I meant to tell you guys that I came up with this, uh.....sheesh, what was it?[cough, cough, hack, hack]  I'll think of it in a minute or two.

I apologize, but I've lost my train of thought here, so maybe it'd be best if you go here and see for yourself.

If I Could Be LIke Mike

I find it quite interesting that Mike Huckabee, especially after his own personal "Battle of the Bulge", would hold an event where South Carolina Bar-B-Que was being served, plus, you get to hear him play bass guitar with his band, aptly named, Capitol Offense.  All for a measely $1000.  They claim that more than 200 people were there.  If so, that's not a bad gig at all.

Considering everything, I would suspect that Bar-B-Que seems mouth watering to Huckabee, as opposed to his usual delicacy of fried squirrel.  I reckon if you can eat fried squirrel, the live snakes seem to be just an inconvenience at church.

God knows how many years that I've longed for a candidate, even another candidate from Arkansas to become President.  And to boot, one that is from Arkansas, has been a Governor, looted the state, open arms to the illegals, dines out on fried squirrel, and shoots peasants or is it pheasants?  What more could a man ask for?  Huck is the MAN.  Rick Flair even said so.

We'll see how this plays out.  However, if there is a God, Huckabee will go back to Arkansas, never to be heard from again.

Remember When?

Remember when Bill and Hillary were looking to find a home when Bill's term expired?  And the Clintons had to turn to their good friend, Terry McAuliffe to co-sign for their house?   So what's all the flack about Obama and his deal with his house.  I'm sure the scams the Clintons pulled were way above what Obama has done.  I mean, all those pardons don't come cheap.  Just ask one of the Rodham brothers.

Some things never cease to amaze me.

County seizes son for medical care

by Hal Trammell

Father says his family's rights were violated


In New Castle, Colorado a man’s home was invaded by a SWAT team, in order to make sure a child in the family received "proper medical attention", and in doing so, battered their way into the home and seemed to have made quite a show. However, the Doctor at the ER checked the boy and sent him home, with Tylenol and suggested ice to a black eye. So, since when did social services start to use a SWAT team, and when does a paramedic get a judge/magistrate involved, who gets a Sheriff involved, who then decides it’s time for drastic action?

As much as I appreciate good law enforcement, it is times like these that make me want to throw up. This Sheriff and his squad need to go...period. Is t his the Government mandated health care that is supposed to bring a better future for everyone? If so, no thanks. There’s been a few articles written about this story, and hopefully there will be many more. This particular story needs to gain some national traction.


In providing various links:

Radley Balko, World Net Daily, and for an extended look at the story.

I encourage you to scrutinize each story and each account, as I cannot attest to any of the publications being "the gospel or spin", so read accordingly. All I’m saying is this. If the story(stories) turn out to be true, I sincerely hope that justice is served, and I don’t mean served on the family who had their rights violated. In my opinion, the Magistrate and the Sheriff were way over the top.


While we’re on the subject, and knowing that many of our "scholarly leaders" insists that it tales a village, I’m not surprised at the actions of the people who allowed this to happen. It’s no secret that many of our elected officials would have us bow to international law, and cases like this would run rampant through our system. Yet, regarding international law, why aren’t the terrorists and their families charged and locked up for child abuse? Seems to me that encouraging your child to strap on a bomb vest and go out in the name of said god and blow up a bunch of infidels, should certainly be on the books, no? But that’s a whole ‘nother story.

Who is the Professor of Pandernomics?

by Hal Trammell

If you discover who this person is, please share the info with me.

If it weren’t so obvious as to the pandering these Presidential candidates are doing, it wouldn’t be so hard to tolerate. Example: Hillary places 3rd. in Iowa. Immediately she goes to New Hampshire and plays the "I’m for the young people" card. Village, meet idiot!

Ah, how about John and Elizabeth Edwards. Liz seems to make things appear as if this is another 2-for-1 deal. She’ll be President, and John will be the face and mouthpiece during their reign. It’ll be easier for John to wage his war on poverty with his wife at the helm of things. Maybe they can boycott WalMart together or something, and be seen in unity once again. And then polish it off with a real date and treat at their local Wendy’s. Chilli, please.

The lead horse now is Barack Obama. Somehow he has become a kindred spirit amongst the younger voters, at least in Iowa. I’m afraid the younger, naive Obama doesn’t have a clue as to what is about to hit the fan. Mr. Obama, allow me to give you a free clue. Do you fully understand the politics of personal destruction? If so, please prove it and don’t be ashamed to acknowledge that you’re in the fight of your life. You can thank me later.

Then there’s Mike Huckabee, the Apostle of Araknsas, with his own St. Peter leading the way, via Ed Rollins. Give Rollins a sword and Huckabee’s opponents will be lucky to walk away with just an ear missing. Thankfully, Mr. Huckabee doesn’t have the "Sons of Thunder" with him on his tour. I’m waiting for candidate Huckabee to share his Damascus Road Experience with us soon...T-shirts, bumper stickers, and all.

How about Mitt Romney? Some people are on his case for being a Mormon. So what if he’s a Mormon. No one is on Huckabee’s case for being an idiot. And an evangelical idiot at that. Mitt does have his highs and lows, but let’s not count him out just yet.

Hey, here’s the old tough guy John McCain, part of the Gang of.... oh well. Forget about it. A couple of state wins will not produce a President. Sorry, John.

The jury seems to still be out on Rudy. A no show in Iowa, and also not much noise about him lately regarding much of anything else. His campaign deserves a close watch.

And then there’s Fred Thompson. In my opinion, the John Wayne of the Conservative Party. Until you can show me differently, along with a powerful persuasion, I’ll follow my instincts on this one. Of course, comments are welcomed.

[Edited:  I admit it.  I didn't see McCain nor Obama taking the prize.  Having said that, it's still sad to think this is the best and brightest that America has to offer.  If that's the case, we're in big trouble.]

Wanna Perform Like Well-rested Monkey?

by Hal Trammell


All you have to do is drink about 8 pots of coffee and do about 3 vials of this new nasal spray and you’re good to go. Of course, cocaine and meth do about the same thing, except it’ll kill you quicker...and those drugs are much more expensive. And it’s against the law!


These folks seems to think that you can just go for days without sleep, and then grab this little magic pick-me-up, and all is well. By the way, I’ve never heard of anyone over-dosing on sleep, have you? If so, shoot me an email and I’ll share it here.


I’ve gone through periods in my life when at times, I required more sleep, and then there were times when I didn’t require as much sleep. Presently, I take all I can get and make no apologies for it. I intend on leaving a huge carbon-snoring footprint behind, regardless of the costs and who has to pay for it. I mean, that’s the American way, right. Remember, no one can have the solution if there is no crisis to solve, even if you have to invent them.


Anyway, enjoy the new and improved Culture of Wide Awake America.

Yawn.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
