With Obama on his World Apology Tour apologizing for The U.S. and all Americans, I would like to offer up my apology as well.
I am sorry we saved France during two World Wars and came to their aid in Vietnam. I am sorry we deposed Hitler, Mussolini, and Saddam. I am sorry we kept Europe safe from tyranny and totalitarianism. I am sorry we have sent aid to other countries especially following a disaster. I am sorry we intervened and stopped the genocide in Yugoslavia. I am sorry we kept missiles out Cuba. I am sorry we brought down the Berlin Wall. I am sorry we won the Cold War. I am sorry we fought to keep communism out of South Korea. I am sorry we put men on the moon. I am sorry for the all the technological advances we have given the world such as the telephone, phonograph, light bulb, movie camera, radio, television, assembly line, airplane, and Internet. I am sorry we have also give the world baseball, basketball, football, volleyball, skateboarding, snowboarding, cheerleading, lacrosse, and surfing. I am sorry we built the Panama Canal. Mostly, I am sorry there have been no more terrorist attacks on American soil since 9/11.
So, lets become an isolationist nation and leave the rest of the world to themselves. Lets take care of our own here and the hell with everyone else!

Where's the LOVE?
Note: The author of this blog is a self-proclaimed Independent voter. He voted twice for Reagan, did not vote for George H.W. Bush, voted twice for Clinton, did not vote for George W. Bush either time, and did not vote for Obama. If your counting, that's 3 votes Republican and 5 Democratic.
So where's the love in this country? Outside of this country there is love in the air. We love Hugo Chavez even though he calls Bush "Satan", Obama "Ignoramus", and gives Obama a book deriding the U.S. We love Daniel Ortega from Nicaragua even though he blasted the U.S. and JFK in rant with Obama present for 50 minutes. We love Iran even though they have laughed at us, scoffed at Obama's video, and have sentenced an innocent American girl to 8 years if prison. We love Fidel & Raul Castro even though they have done nothing to promote democracy or release political prisoners or anything else. So, Obama is practicing the Bible when he loves his enemies as himself.
But what of us here at home?
Here there is only hate for one another. Hate for the CEO's. Hate for banks. Hate for Wall Street. Hate for free enterprise. Hate for Democracy. Hate for people who do not believe in gay marriage (look at the set up of Miss California in the Miss USA pageant and the hate thrust upon her by Perez Hilton and other pro-gay groups). Hate for those who are Christian or Jewish. Hate for the Constitution. Hate for those who do not believe in abortion. Hate for veterans (for this and the previous one, look at the memo sent out by Homeland Security). Hate for all conservatives. Hate for anyone opposing Obama within the borders of the U.S. Hate! Hate! Hate!
Whatever happened to this is great country and we can agree to disagree? Whatever happened to love your neighbor. Whatever happened to tolerance? Tolerance does not mean you get to pick and choose who you will accept and listen to and who you won't. (look at recent events at UNC, UVA, and Notre Dame).
This administration promised HOPE and CHANGE that would bring all people together. Instead, they have brought more divisiveness than there has ever been. More promises broken and the country divided even more.
Where is JFK when you need him!? Right now he is turning in his grave.

2737 Years
By now I am sure you have heard that if we spent 1 million dollars per day since Jesus was born, we would not have spent 1 trillion dollars. Well I decided to find out how many years at $1,000,000 per day it would take to get $1 trillion. The answer is 2737.8 years or another 728.8 years! If the new budget will increase the deficit to $9.5 trillion, then it would take 26,009 years to pay it off at $1 million per day!!!!
Fork it over now!!!!
Fork it over now!!!!
Obama-You're no Jack Kennedy (and other musings)
It is amazing that after Obama has been in power for 77 days all that has transpired. We have gone from greatest, most powerful nation in the world to the most "arrogant and derisive" powerless nation in the world.
3 days ago, North Korea fired a ballistic missile into space while we watched (even as entered Japanaese airspace). Three hours later, Obama announces in Czechoslovakia, that the world needs to get rid of its nuclear weapons and since the U.S. is the only nation to have used nuclear weapons in an attack, that we should lead. Good-bye America, it was nice while it lasted. We just all need to bow to Obama and while down there, kiss our asses good-bye. We just opened the door to every "rogue" nation to go ahead with all out nuclear and missile tests while we just stand by and watch.
Would JFK have stood by and let North Korea launch that missile? Hell, no! He would have given a warning that if it were not dismantled immediately, then we would take it out. If they did not dismantle, the 1-2-boom! It would have been gone. Does Obama look like a black JFK? No way! Not even close. Instead of stopping the spread of terrorism, he is encouraging it. Iran now knows that we will do nothing to stop them, so full speed ahead.
Obama has also given away our right to financial and business self-determination by allowing the G20 to now establish all pay scales for compaines even here in the U.S. We make up 40% of the GDP of the G20, but we have 5% of the vote. Wheee! We're #20!!! (Actually we are lower than that when you count that North Korea and Iraq are now ahead of us as well--so actually, we have fallen out of the top 20). I want my pay scale decied by Norway? Sweden? France? I don't think so!
I am not a warmonger, but everyone knows that if you have a weapon you are willing to use, it discourages criminals from trying to hurt you. If they know you had that weapon and got rid of it, then you become a prime target for people who hate you.
Other musings:
What's the difference between Jesus and Obama? Jesus could put together a cabinet.
Can you believe this gut and the people he has chosen? Tax evasion, child pornography, Shia lwa should be in the Constitution. What the hell is going on? I talked to a cousin 2 days ago who is devout Obama supporter, and she said that the Kathleen Sebelius affair was over only $7000. Only?!? If it were me or her, the IRS would hav e taken everything of ours and thrown us in jail. Give me a break!
How about David Letterman criticizing and joking about Sarah Palin's daughter who had the baby and is now not going to marry the father of the child. All this while he was living with his girlfriend with their 5 year old son. Wasn't it great of him to finally marry her after 5 years and right after he made the jokes?
Also Letterman criticizing Bill O'Reilly for boycotting Sean Penn because Penn was cozying up to Hugo Chavez. Letterman admitted that he didn't like Chavez either because, "he nationalized the media, was nationalizing the banks, and extending term limits." Sounds like Obama to me--we just haven't heard about term limits yet--but we will!!!
Why is Obama appeasing other countries by conceding we are "arrogant and derisive" and giving them any concession they want, while here at home he is taking everything from us including our dignity? The man should be held as traitor and tried for treason. He swore to uphold the Constitution and is now defecating on it. Get rid of him once and for all!!!

The Buck Stops With Bush
I don't know about anyone else, but I am sick & tired of Obama passing the buck on everything. "I inherited this financial crisis," "This was last year's budet so I can't veto the pork in it," etc. Everything that has gone wrong is Bush's fault. Obama can't fill his cabinet positions because they didn't pay their taxes under Bush's term? Give me a break.
Mr. Obabam was in the Senate for the last 2 years before becoming President. He knew what the deficit was, what was in the stimulus package that he voted for, and that we were in a Recession. He knew what he was getting into and he wanted it. Period. Now it is time for him to stand up and take responsibility, and he keeps passing it back to Bush. If he did not like what he was going to take on as President, then he should have backed out. He should be thanking Bush. After all, Bush is the one who watered down the Constitution, took away some of our freedoms and started spending us into trouble. Bush has allowed Obama to take these and run, run, run.
The only difference between Bush and Obama is that Bush knew how to put together cabinet.
Mr. Obama, either take control and responsibility or get out. As they say here in the South, "If you're not going to shit, get off the pot."

Up In Smoke
Forget Cheech and Chong's movie "Up In Smoke." It can't compare with the smoke put out by Obama and the Dems in D.C that has become so thick you can't see right from wrong. All this talk about Rush Limbaugh, the AIG bonuses, and Jay Leno are just distractions to the truth in D.C.--there is no morality and no conscience. Pay the damn bonuses to AIG--they were passed in Congress in a bill that protects them. Passed by the Democratic majority with the Democrat Chris Dodd amendment. Admit that you never read the bill to check to see if there were any safeguards for our money--not your money. Where is the outrage over the billions that were sent by AIG oversees to 16 foreign banks? No word on that. What of the other bonuses by other bailout companies that were allowed to keep them? No word. The AIG bonus mess is just a smoke screen to allow Congress to tax individuals they deem unpatriotic at different rates--90-100%! Think about this. What is to stop them from taxing any individual at whatever rate they want. You didn't vote for Obama? Fine, we'll tax 100% of what you make and give it to someone else. You don't like the unions? Fine 100% tax. You support the Constitution? 100% tax (by the way, the Constitution has become the new toilet paper in Washington--all the Dems are wiping their asses with it). This precedent is very dangerous and unconstitutional, but no one cares. After all, as member of the House put it when asked about if they could really tax the bonuses up to 100%, "We're Congress." --we can do anything to any one at any time without any consequence.
Where is the outrage over Obama and his team trying to make injured servicemen pay for their own treatment of wounds sustained in battle? Yes, he took it off the table--for now, but it never should have been on the table. When it was pointed out that it was "our moral obligation to take care" of these people, Obama wanted none of that kind of talk. Why? Because he has no morals. Period. That is why he is running this country into the ground and is out flittering in California on Jay Leno degrading the Special Olympians and others.--he has no moral values, and that is very dangerous!!!
Look at his words (both spoken and written). He praise his father who was absent from him while he was growing up, and never mentions his mother. Why? Because she was white and his father was black. He wants to people to think of him as only black. Not only that, his father was a Muslim. He is praising a man who never supported him as being this huge influence in his life. Is it because he was Muslim? Lets look at what has happened recently. He has pissed off Great Britain, our strongest ally, by giving trinkets and sending back a bust of Winston Churchill that was given to us after 9-11 to signify the unity that Great Britain has for us in standing by us. Then he pisses off Brazil by moving his appointment with him to another day so he can attend Nancy Pelosi's St. Patty' lunch, and he misspells his name, and he puts part of his name in quotation marks when it is a legal part of his name. Yet, he gives his first interview as President to an Arab network, he is closing Gitmo and turning everyone loose, we are not allowed to say enemy combatants or use the term terrorist, he gave hundreds of millions of dollars to Hamas, and we are inviting Iran to sit down with us to discuss the situation in Afghanistan. Seems like he is catering more to the Islamic extremists than to us here at home.
All of this is crazy. Washington has gone nuts and we are right there with them. We don't care about this country any more. We don't care about our friends or neighbors. We don't care!!!
Obama needs to take up the violin and fiddle away because this great country is burning and that's why there is smoke!

A Letter To My Grandson
Background on the author: He came from a broken home of divorced parents. He worked hard in menial jobs to get through school. Without any government assistance, he became a professional. He has relatives and friends who have served in almost every war the U.S. has been in, starting at the Revolutionary War. He was an idealist in that he believed that if everyone worked together, the world's problems could be solved by what each could offer, not by what could be taken from others. In December 2008 he welcomed his first grandson with joy and sadness..
Dear Aiden,
I want to first tell you how happy I am to have you in my life. Each day with you and your smile are truly a day of sunshine in my heart. I want the best for you as you grow and I want you to realize your potential and do your best. It is in this regard that I write this letter.
I want to apologize to you for the country we are giving you. It is not the same country that was founded in 1776 and that has been defended for the last 233 years. It used to be a land of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. A land where a man's word was taken as gospel and a handshake sealed the deal. A country where helping your neighbor was as important as caring for your own family. A country where you could aspire to become anything you wanted and realize that dream with enough hard work and determination. A country where everyone had the opportunity to be the best they could be. A country where every one's vote was sacred, valuable, and anonymous. A country where you worked hard to earn a living and you gave of that money to charities you deemed worthy. A country where respect for each other bound us together through good times and bad. A country where it was okay to disagree with those who are in power and speak it aloud. A country where it was okay to have winners and losers. A country where the government worked for the people and protected our rights and freedoms. A country where success or failure was of our own accord and we took responsibity for our actions and decisions. A country that was founded on the belief in God and set up under Judeo-Christian morals and law.
Unfortunately, the world we have left you is filled with perils and pitfalls. The world you know is one of selfishness, greed, and limited freedoms. The government tells you what you will become, how much you will make, where you can go, what you can do, and what you can say. The world where everyone feels they deserve everything and the government should provide it to them at all costs. The world where God is taboo and Christians are persecuted. The world where the minority sets the rules and the majority must obey. The world where life is meaningless and easily disposed of. The world where you work for the government and your vote and voice are open for discussion and ridicule. The world where there is no incentive to become anything or accomplish anything. The world where you are told that you cannot do anything or become anything without government support. The world where your failure is seen as someone else's responsibility and soceity must pay for those trangressions. For these things I am sorry. However, may God instill in you the strength, passion, and morality to overcome these abuses and make a change in the world around you. May you instill in others the desire to become the best they can become so that they may also change the ways of the world. May you stop the injustices and persecutions of those who have morals and belief in God as the sole Almighty Power. May you stand up to those in absolute power and bring them down for their wickedness. May you return this land to its roots and beliefs that made it great and for which your relatives fought for. May you understand that life is precious and unique and should be nurtured to its fullest potential. May you never cease in your quest for righteousness, thirst for knowledge, and selflessness as you live each day to its fullest. May you never be afraid to try and fail, for failure brings strength and knowledge. May you keep your faith strong and may you never waiver from the path God has chosen for you.
May God be with you now and always,
Your loving and caring Grandfather
