The Obama Unemployment Map

 Obama has his ” Jobs and Economic Conference” today but never invites the US Chamber of Commerce  or any other “Business Organization” in Washington , DC. 

When Bush left office, unemployment was 5.75% and the deficit was a little over $400 billion.  Twelve months later, with Obama in charge, the unemployment rate is 10.25% and the deficit is $1,400 billion.

Obama is a Marxist, socialist; Bush is a Capitalist.  To increase employment, Obama wants to spend money we do not have and expand government employment and the Republican opposition want to reduce capital gains, income & payroll taxes to increase private sector investment and thus, subsequently, employment.

Obama’s policies are destroying the American economy.   It looks like it is on purpose.

What do you think?

 An Open Letter To President Obama 

Dear President Obama: 

    You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me. 

  • You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.
  • You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support 
  • You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.
  • You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.
  • You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don’t understand it at its core
  • You scare me because you lack humility and ‘class’, always blaming others
  • You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail
  •  You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the ‘blame America’ crowd and deliver this message abroad
  • You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.
  •  You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one
  •  You scare me because you prefer ‘wind mills’ to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.
  • You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world.
  • You scare me because you have begun to use ‘extortion’ tactics against  certain banks and corporations.
  • You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging     you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.
  • You scare me because you will not  openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.
  • You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.
  • You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.
  • You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O’Relllys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.
  • You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.
  • Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.

This letter was sent to the NY Times but they never acknowledged  it.

Obama Green Job Stimulus Plan – Cronyism -

You give me money and I will give you the taxpayers money.  This is not Illegal , but it should be……………..

Serious Materials, a window manufacturing company, receives a special tax credit for “green companies” (not to mention free advertising) from President and Vice President of the United States.  This is the only window manufacturing  company to receive tax credits.

As it turns out, Cathy Zoi, is the Weatherization Czar, who overseas the   U S  government “weatherization program” for the US Department of Energy and is married to Ron Roy, the V P of Policy and Production at Serious Windows. 

This is selective discrimination, crony capitalism and IS OUTRAGEOUS!

Is the Progressive Base Eroding?

The writing below appeared in the Marin Independent Journal on Tuesday, February 2, 2010 in the Opinion Page under “Marin Voice”    Norman Solomon, author of this writing,  is so far to the LEFT, he thinks Obama is a CENTRIST.    Mr. Solomon,  Obama is a Marxist,  Socialist / Communist.   Where were you educated?  Where did you learn these ideas?     I think your future is in Cuba,Venezuela or Russia.  . Castro, Chavez and Putin would love your  input to help their countries prosper.  

Our Comments to this writing appear at the end of the article. 

Marin Voice: Is the progressive base eroding?

By Norman Solomon

Posted: 02/02/2010 09:37:06 AM PST

WHEN A LARGE crowd gathered at the Sausalito Cruising Club to watch the inauguration of Barack Obama, euphoria was in the air.  Many of us there had worked hard to make the historic moment possible. On that bright winter morning, we were proud, excited and hopeful. Fifty-four weeks later, the mood is very different.  

Last week’s State of the Union speech added to growing worries about a grim pattern: White House concessions go to hard-right Republican leaders who rarely give the slightest ground.    I want to remind progressives that Barack Obama never promised us a rose garden. While his oratory could soar, his inclinations as a politician have always been centrist.

Years ago, Obama gave us ample warning in his book “The Audacity of Hope,” which included this blunt caveat: “I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views.”

A week before he won the presidential election, I noted: “Progressives are mostly on board with the Obama campaign, even though – on paper, with his name removed – few of his positions deserve the ‘progressive’ label. We shouldn’t deceive ourselves into seeing Obama as someone he’s not.   ”Yet an Obama presidency offers the possibilities that persistent organizing and coalition-building at the grassroots could be effective at moving national policy in a progressive direction.”

Those possibilities remain. There’s little point in blaming President Obama. It’s up to progressive-minded people to push back against ominous trends of the administration’s first year.

White House policies are nowhere near what’s needed to overcome corporate power, drastically reduce carbon emissions, lower unemployment through federal jobs programs, massively repair the nation’s crumbling infrastructure, fully support public education – preschool through college – and devote major resources to ensuring health care as a human right.

Such programs would require a reduction in military spending. Yet the Obama administration – while proposing a freeze on the discretionary domestic budget – has gone on a Pentagon shopping spree and is swiftly escalating U.S. troop levels in Afghanistan.

This approach is exactly what Martin Luther King Jr. challenged in his speeches about “the madness of militarism.” He warned: “A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.”

Close to home, such skewed priorities are hitting us hard. Since 2001, the latest figures show, taxpayers in Marin County have sent the IRS a total of $1.5 billion to directly pay for war in Iraq and Afghanistan – enough money to provide complete health care to more than half a million people for an entire year.

If progressives in Marin and around the country sometimes erred in placing candidate Obama on an overly elevated pedestal, a few are now going to the opposite extreme. In reality, he is not now – nor has he ever been – a savior or a demon.  It’s up to those of us who have a progressive vision to move it forward.

Erosion of the Democratic Party’s progressive base could lead to electoral catastrophe in November and beyond. We can’t let that happen.   Along with vocal pressure from grassroots progressives, what’s needed is bold Democratic leadership – now in short supply from Washington to Sacramento. Democrats in elected positions should be willing and able to challenge the party’s hierarchy over its tepid appease-the-right policies.

Unless that happens, many activists who propelled Obama into the Oval Office will become demoralized instead of energized. ____________________________________________________

Our comments to this writing are as follows:

Mr. Solomon, you will always have your Democratic Party progressive base; and yes, the Democratic Party is facing, and will experience “electorial catastrophe in November and beyond”, and there is very little you or anyone else can do about it.   Thank God the majority of Americans have realized that Obama and the progressive policies are not in the best interests of America & are taking measures to get rid of him and his followers, beginning with the democratic Governors of Virginia & New Jersey and the  Senator from Massachusetts.  The reasons for the demise of Obama and the ‘progressive left statists’ are many and some are described below:

1.      Obama has asked us to: “Judge him by the people he surrounds himself with.”  Obama’s mentors and those he surrounds himself with are Marxists.  Thus, Obama is a Marxist.  The majority of Americas are not in favor of Marxist principles

A.    Tax the Producers and Re-Distribute the Cash to the Non Producers = Re-distribution of wealth  =  (“social justice”)

B.     Massive Government Growth to promote “social justice”

C.    Government Run Health Care System  = “social justice”

D.    Community Organization promoting Revolution for change (Acorn)  =  “social justice”

E.     Radical Change in the Structure of our Society and Institutions  to promote “social justice”.    

F.     Whatever Will Achieve the Desired “social justice”  Results is Acceptable

G.    Foment a Complete Collapse followed by Installation of a Completely New System  that promotes “social justice”

H.    Government Ownership of Private Enterprise Companies

I.       Massive Government  regulation  (in process)

J.      Take over US Energy Companies (Obama’s next agenda)

K.    Open-Door Immigration Policy, especially illegal immigrants which Obama now calls “undocumented immigrants”

http://america-wake-up.com/2009/11/29/obama-is-destroying-america-by-following-his-mentors-radical-rules-for-change-proof-is-below/

2.      Obama and the left do not understand economics 101.  They think profits are evil

3.      Obama & the statists fail to see that when you spread the wealth around, you destroy the incentive to create wealth, employment and jobs.

4.      Every President & congress person takes an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.  Obama and a majority of congress violate this oath on a daily basis. 

5.      Failure to understand that “Muslim terrorists want us all “dead” and think that, when captured, they should be given their “Miranda Rights” on the battlefield and tried in civilian courts.

6.      Obama has put down most of us; financiers, energy producers, banks, insurance companies, police officers, doctors, nurses, hospitals, post office workers and just about everyone else who has a non green job including  “AMERICA” itself to foreign & domesic audiences.

7.      Promotion of national health care which is opposed by 60%  of the US population

8.      Openly “bribing” healthcare votes of congress in January 2010

9.      Open lack of support for the US military and  Israel

10.  Complete lack of concern for Iranian efforts to obtain nuclear weapons & a delivery system

11.  Department of Justice potential prosecution of CIA agents (who interrogate terrorists) & Navy Seals (who capture them) while reading Muslim terrorists their Miranda rights and providing them with an attorney.

12.  Total Lack of Character, common sense & ability to determine what is right & wrong

13.  Proposal to reduce senior medicare benefits by $500 billion over 10 years

14.  No energy policy to eliminate need for foreign imports (no drilling, no nuclear)

15.  Blaming corporate greed for the meltdown when the real cause was federal government law that forced banks to make loans to those who could not afford to repay the loans

16.  Massive government spending – on course to further bankrupt the country . (no, this was not caused by Bush – in 12 months the budget deficit went from $800 billion under Bush in 2008 to $1.4 trillion in 2009 and a projected $1.6 trillion in 2010 under Obama)

17.   Absolutely NO TRANSPARENCY   on  health care legislation or any thing else.  (total secrecy)

18.    Absolutely  no bi-partisan attempt to work with republicans for the last 12 months. (we control everything here – go away)

The Obama Trifecta + One

President Obama has just completed the UNHOLY and ANTI-AMERICAN TRIFECTA   PLUS ONE  ! 

  1. First president in 110 years to miss the annual Army-Navy Football Game
  2. First president to not attend any Christmas religious observance.
  3. First president to stay on vacation after a terrorist attack. 

 Add to that:

First president in 20 years to not stay in Washington for Christmas.(Throughout history, Presidents didn’t leave Washington for Christmas vacation until after Christmas. This was done so that the large staff (Secret Service, Air Force One Crew, Limousine transport, Presidential advance logistics, etc.) could be with their families for Christmas.) 

What a thoughtful fellow you are Mr. Obama

Newt Gingrich says it like it is.  All statists need to listen to this brief statement.

Islam – Good or Evil – ?

Geert Wilders, Chairman of the Netherlands Party for Freedom, speaks at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York City on September 25, 2008.  Mr. Wilders is afraid for his continent, America and the world.  There are 54 million Muslims in Europe.  San Diego University estimates that 25% of Europe will be Muslim in 10 years.

He is trying to educate those who will listen,    to ISLAM 101. 

  1. The two most important facets of Islam are:  1) The Quran is Allah’s personal word, revealed by an angel to Mohammed, the prophet, and  is Allah’s word, valid for all Muslims and for all time; and 2)  Mohammed is the “perfect man”
  2. The Quran calls for Muslims to terrorize, kill & wage war, “Jihad”  against ALL NON MUSLIMS and to “rule the world” by “the sword”
  3. Mohammed’s behavior is supposed to be an example to all Muslims and can not be disputed.  In fact Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer and engaged in other actions we do not want mention here.
  4. Moderate  Islam does not exist; but there are moderate Muslims
  5. Islam is a political ideology, not a religion.

Below is a transcript of Mr. Wilders speech in NY:

Smart Grid – Smart Meters – ?

What is a “Smart Meter”?

A “Smart Meter” is a device attached to your residence which monitors the amount of a utility being used by the home or apartment and  transmits by radio wave  to the utility supplier the details of the amount of  the specific utility  consumed by the minute, hour, day, week, month and year.  The utility could be electricity, gas, water, cable service or garbage.  The meter is a two-way communications device and  can send consumption information (to the utility) and receive information and commands (from the utility). 

What is a “Smart Grid”?

A “Smart Grid is what the environmentalists, Obama,  and government thinks we will have when everyone is hooked up to a “Smart Meter”.

Smart Meter Benefits (per the utilities and government)

  1. Users of the utilities will now be able to know exactly how much of the specific utility they are using and when they use it. (costs for peak periods will be higher than for non peak periods)
  2. elimination of utility meter reading employees, saving costs.   
  3. installation of Smart Meters will create new “green jobs”
  4. Reward consumers when they use utilities in off-peak periods. (electricity at night for example)

 Smart Meter Disadvantages

  1. Consumer Privacy
  2. Will allow suppliers (big brother – government) to automatically by remote control turn off or limit the specific utility if demand exceeds supply.
  3. Loss of personal freedom of choice
  4. Higher rates could be imposed at peak usage times.
  5. Cost of the Smart Meters passed on to consumers.  This is happening because federally mandated use of meters is being paid for by the U S Taxpayers (the Obama government – you and me) and the utility consumers, you and me.
  6. elimination of meter readers will eliminate permanent jobs
  7. the installation of “Smart Meters” will create temporary jobs, not permanent (the government “green”  job creation story is a myth)

Conclusion

According to the Obama administration, “Smart Meters” are at the center of their $8 billion push to update the US electricity grid.”  The fact is,  Smart Meters”  have nothing to do with the US energy grid.  The ‘GRID”  is the physical plant and system that transmits energy from where it is produced to where it is consumed.  In short, smart meters:

  1. should reduce energy costs if the meter reading costs are passed through to the consumer,
  2. will create the opportunity for “big brother” to completely control our use of our utilities
  3. is an enormous waste of government spending of taxpayer money with this “make work” $8 billion expenditure
  4. will benefit General Electric who manufactures “Smart Meters”.  In 2009, the Obama administration  bailed out an almost bankrupt General Electric with $80 billion or 25% of the total available TARP loans.  Not only was GE, (the largest industrial company in the US)   the largest recipient of the Obama rescue program, but Chairman Jeffrey Immelt, did not have to worry about Obama’s Compensation Czar restricting pay checks to executives whose companies received TARP funds.   GE owns the far left and liberal news networks,  NBC  and MSNBC.  Turn on NBC and MSNBC and listen to their news broadcasts.  They do not broadcast news; they broadcast OPINION; and that OPINION is as far to te left as you can get.  If you haven’t noticed, the Obama administration is also as farther to the left than the chart goes.   Could it be,  that part of this “Smart Meter”, $8 billion expenditure is another  payback to GE for their political support through NBC and MSNBC? 

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/06/28/AR2009062802955.html

Southern California Edison is spending $1.63 billion (partly from the Obama $8 billion) for 5.3 million Smart Meters between 2009 and 2012.  That works out to $308 per Smart Meter”.  We at America-Wake-Up believe that the tax payers of the US would be better served if the government did not spend this $8 billion.  The country is bankrupt; and can not afford wasteful spending like this and hundreds of other similar extravagant spending  programs.

We think this idea of a Smart Grid and Smart Meters is one of  the results of the Obama administration  knowingly implementing policies which will limit the supply of electricity, gas and water, thus creating shortages.  Obama and his energy Czar are willfully creating energy shortages by not taking actions to reduce and eliminate our dependence on foreign sources of energy and  not facilitating:

  1. the construction of new nuclear power plants,
  2. offshore drilling
  3. oil shale and tar sands development
  4. liquid natural gas facilities
  5. clean coal energy production

The US has 5 times the hydorcarbon energy sources than the middle east; yet Obama and the environmentalists oppose anything to do with increasing nuclear and hydrocarbon production and are only pushing “green” renewable solar, wind and wave energy projects which we are all in  favor of but will NEVER replace nuclear and hydrocarbon energy production which are 100% essential to run our economy.

Thus,  the government is creating a problem (the shortage of domestic energy) and then  they  create a ”feel good” solution which is the  need for a Smart Meter” so the “government “  can “help” us around the shortage, by spending more of our tax money for unnecessary projects.   Just what we need:  “MORE GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE”.

We do not think people need to be told how to conserve energy.  If one wants to save energy you turn the lights off and the heater down.  You do not need to go and read a meter to see what your current consumption is to save and conserve.  We think it makes a lot of sense to eliminate the cost of meter readers and that this cost should be passed on to the consumer.

With the environmentalists and the government pushing for “electric cars” and  the elimination of the gasoline engine in the car, in the near future, the demand for electricity during the night (everyone charging their electric car)  could exceed day time demand and really create a supply / demand NIGHTMARE.

The height of the “Smart Meter” folly is in Great Britain where they have “Smart Meters” on their garbage cans to measure the amount of waste that is recycled, in an effort to increase recycling. 

Smart Meters in The United Kingdom article is below:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/energy/6292809/Smart-meters-could-be-spy-in-the-home.html

Obama wants 40 million smart meters by 2015.  That is another $12.4 trillion in potential  sales for General Electric.
