President Obama knows nothing but games! Here we are awaiting a Bipartisan Summit when action after action is screaming an already pre-set backstepping and games. First, Obama and his cronies place their Obamacare proposal on the internet and asks for the Republicans’ proposal. Isn’t that what the Summit was for? Senator Boehner stated in one of his many responses to the Summit suggestion that the discussion should be started with a “blank” piece of paper, yet even before the ink is dry on the place cards, the Obamacare is now available online?!

To walk into an open discussion with a pre-set agenda is one thing..putting it on the internet is disturbing. How can you suggest a level playing field when you already have the game laid out even before the opposing team approaches the field?

More importantly, we here in the public sector know what this hypocrisy of a legislation proposal Obamacare is. We really did not in any way need to see it online as we, especially the youth, are already against it.

The worst attack against the GOP I believe, while they prepare for this summit, is when he commented that at a National Governors Association event that the Governors have been “Bipartisan” consistently and applaud them for it. I see this as an incredible attack against the Republicans who have openly (and rightly so) been questioning the invitation.

 
 
With only a few days left until the supposedly Bipartisan Summit on Healthcare, proposed by a frustrated President Obama, House Minority Leader John Boehner released another statement in two days stating bluntly the event can not be bipartisan because the healthcare reform proposal, termed ObamaCare, has not even hinted a bend to the possibility of involving the Republican’s ideas and suggestions.

Stating that the summit should be approached with a “clean sheet of paper,” Boehner says the Democrats will have one agenda item: Handing their fellow legislators a bill and a pen.

I have to agree with this incredibly because, as history has shown, bipartisan means nothing more than wanting defeat from the other side. The Democrats believe if we enter the Summit the way we should, with our ideas at the ready to be presented and debated, we will look like the heavy when it comes to the need of healthcare reform when in reality we are the biggest supporters of it.

For decades, Republicans have debated healthcare and the need for an open forum for the good of the people. However, when any attempt is made, it is shot down with a pre-created proposal and no chance of discussion on it unless its of approval. A “Backroom deal” as Boehner exclaimed, is what they are looking for.

So what should the Republicans do at this Summit. Come into it strong and ready to refuse, no matter what the public threat may be. This is a time all ideas need to be considered, not just one created by a one sided party, majority or no majority.

You see, the Democrats don’t realize that their plan is not only being rejected by the Republicans, but also the Public itself; More importantly, the youth. The same youth that showed their strength for them one time and the same youth who will be at the polls in 2010 ready to change the stage and, if I can guess, many of the Democrats may not be playing the parts they seem to love so much. To sum it up: Wake up boys and girls, your barking up the tree the wrong way.

 
 
Once upon a time a collection of powerful Democrat Leaders supported what was seen as a man who could create positive change in the nation they were leading. They made sure every word, action and thought this man had was supported by the whole party.  Watching this man create what some believed was exactly what the nation needed, the Democrats stood behind this man through his campaign.
Then suddenly, they realized this man was not doing what he said. In fact, there were instances where he did the opposite. He used his power for things like working to get his state the Olympics, making appearances on late night television and building a garden.  Worried over their own political futures and almost fearful of their former Golden Boy's negative ratings, they began to retreat faster than they came to support their now ignored Golden Boy.

While the youth are, as many pundits have stated, waking up from their Obama induced dream to a very costly and personally dangerous hangover, Political Contributor Dick Morris stated: The democratic legislators too are “Dropping like flies”, and beginning to back off from supporting President Obama. Evan Bayh, once seen as a White House hopeful, is now one of the most recent “flies” falling away from re-election possibilities. Although he blamed in many ways the factor of Politics in Washington through his announcement speech, the reality…I believe it obvious: Their Golden Boy Obama is losing his sheen and while they can….Dems are jumping ship.

On some morning programs such as Morning Joe, DNC’s Chairman Tim Kaine says he is actually optimistic about 2010 elections. Someone should start reading their memos because, although slowly, the Democratic incumbents who once supported our President, now seem to be saying Obama who?

In fact, Political Strategist Karl Rove stated that some current statistics are very close to the ones which resulted in the 1994 Republican win. Democrats, for lack of a better term, had their chance to make a supposed “Change” happen and the result, has been a retreat unlike any other in political history.

 
 
 Once again the double standard in politics I have discussed so many times during my political career has reared its ugly head. While currently private citizen  (until she announces her Presidential run of course) Sarah Palin is beaten over the head consistently for writing items of her speech on her hand for a Tea Party Opening Speech, we come to find out a Democrat did the exact same thing ILLEGALLY at a political debate and the feedback…is no news and a Senatorial nomination for the culprit.
 
During a crucial debate when she unsuccessfully ran for governor against Pete Wilson in 1990, now Senator Diane Feinstein did the exact same thing, placing what she later said were the major points of her campaign on her left palm.  Obviously, this affected her election however the fact that the news coverage was, in a word lacking, when placed beside the coverage of Palin despite: 1. Her being a private citizen and 2. Not participating in a debate nor, may I add, breaking any regulations.

This is not the only newest realization of what we as Republicans are facing from the media.

 In 2002, after a certain comment about deceased legislator Strom Thurmond, Senator Trent Lott was forced to resign his post quickly. However, just recently when Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is quoted stating Obama was a “light-skinned' African American with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.” the aftermath has been less than impacting on his career…if anything according to this strategist just above zero reaction has occurred showing that there is not only a double standard but an incredible risk alert as to the level we are placing our leaders at.

 The biggest negative that affects this result: The Media. The Media Research Center reported that 71 percent of the media coverage was positive and only 29 percent was negative. In fact, “Reporter” George Stephanopoulos called it a comment during “A private conversation.”  PBS Host Gwen Ifill, during the third day of coverage, stated “I don’t understand what’s demeaning” when discussing the racially horrid description of our President.

 Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele said that if Senator and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had been the one to utter Reid's racially insensitive quote about President Obama, Democrats would be calling for McConnell's head and I fully agree.  

 Why isn’t Senator McConnell asking for Reid’s head on a silver platter…CNN Reported:
       Republican leadership aides, speaking on condition of anonymity in order to speak freely about McConnell's thinking, suggested McConnell knows its very unlikely Reid will step down as leader, and the two have a good working relationship he needs to maintain. The two leading Republicans who have called for Reid to step down as Majority Leader have highly political positions: RNC Chairman Michael Steele and Sen. John Cornyn, who is chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee in charge of electing Republicans to the Senate.

 This means its well known that the letter at the end of your name equals to the level of integrity and respect you should be withheld to…even if the person you are negatively discussing is on your side of the aisle.  However, no matter what the side they are on there is an equal level of responsibility, and tact to which these men and women need to be held up to…however we are seeing that it is the letter in front of their name which states to what level of responsibility and more importantly integrity they are being held to. While I believe most Democrats have little to no integrity, the words that come out of their mouths should be as respectful as the words of the Republicans.  If they are not, there should be equal circumstances.  These are our leaders, if they cannot be followed…what are they there for?


 
 
 
With 2010 just underway, already there have been feet in many of the democrats' mouths. Many people, including the now World Famous “Obama Girl” are seeing the dangerous lacking in Obama’s leadership and wondering why all the promises of “Change” he made have not yet come into play. 

Making very little headway in the important issues such as healthcare and more importantly, already going back on his campaign promises Obama has already stated he sees himself as a one term president and while personally I couldn’t agree more, he hasn't made much fans while in office anymore.  The honeymoon, despite seeming longer than most Presidents have enjoyed, is coming to a slow but strong hault.  How is this happening? Reality is sticking its little head into the minds of the once dead set followers of this Democrat leader. 

An incredible example: While Senator Ted Kennedy’s shoes are incredibly large ones to fill when it comes to policy for the state, it seems the people within it no longer believed they should be filled by a democrat.  With a small budget, little known and now worldly known Senator Scott Brown won the special election for the Republicans. 
This, many political pundits believe is a sign of the tides turning against the President and his fellow democrats and for The GOP.  Particularly, tides of the youth. The same who's college and university campuses were flooded with Obama supporters, signs and pro-Obama statements, who once loved and adored President Obama, have gone as far as to reschedule his State of the Union Speech so they wouldn’t be interrupted as they watch the first of the final episodes of Lost. How is this possible, lets look at the statistics a bit shall we?
To me I have seen that there are 2 active factions of the youth politically:
1. The youth that have voted for Obama and have grown up to find no positive “change” resulting from his win
And 2.  The youth that wish Obama would just go away

The current events, economy and otherwise have incredibly affected both of these groups
Both make up the highest piece of the unemployment rate which is increasing by the second
And more importantly: Both are the least supportive of the healthcare reform initiative
A factor Obama has been dead set on despite any statements regarding any bipartisan possibility.
Bottom line, Many graduates are fighting against a delayed successful entry into the workforce because at their first attempt, they are not only fighting with a job loss but also with applicants that have more experience and will probably work for peanuts while some of them are fighting to pay loans not to mention the increasingly high debt the government is giving us as a graduation gift. 
More dangerous for the democrats the left no longer have the youth outreach they once had, During the special election of in Massachusetts….Obama asked his young followers to be more “fired up” than they were when he was running….well, we saw how well that comment did.
Bottom Line: The youth are, as many pundits have stated, waking up from their Obama indused coma to a very costly and personally dangerous hangover. My response: It's about Time!
