If you are a political analyst like my colleagues and myself you knew firsthand what Obama was going to do to the nation even before Election Day approached. However, even the most right wing pundit was surprised when it began to come out that during his White House term, Obama wasn’t just controlling corporations but also elections.             The future of the party and of his power, instead of the nation and its needs, are top of the list for Obama and it seems he doesn’t mind showing it.  However, despite his obvious involvement in the recent revelations regarding controlling the electoral system, Obama seemed to always have a fall guy who really did the acting against our electorate.  From administration members to former Presidents, it seemed the President had electoral Teflon.  In a fact, with comments such as, “nothing inappropriate occurred” despite story-backing emails, many have seen the events fading into the midst and leaving no retribution behind for the White House or the administration. 

           Recently however, he seems to have lost his cover when it comes to recent news regarding the selection of his senatorial successor.  In a recent hearing about the former Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s corruption charges, an Obama emissary stated that on the eve of his Presidential Election the President said he would rather have Valerie Garret beside him in Washington than running for his seat in the Senate. 

           An experientially qualified candidate, Garrett would have made a pretty good contender. However, as we have already seen from previous electoral control actions sure things are the only ones who have a right to run in Obama’s eyes.  The New York Times reported Obama told him he had two criteria for his successor in the Senate: be good for Illinois and be able to get elected.  Before we even were forced to experience his need to control aspects that he should leave alone (corporations, healthcare and our right to have every candidate on the ballot), Obama showed his ability to without worry, restrict the nation as long as it was good for his party’s future.

           Although the charges do involve the former Governor’s “war gaming” regarding the Senatorial seat left by Obama, the testimony and other aspects raise that the former Senator may have kept a hold on his legislative opening even as he began his move for Washington.  Also, while the White House issued a statement declaring that no contact was made between the charged former Governor’s office and Obama, that comment within it carries holes. How could a former legislator now President not be in contact with the leader of his former state?  To blanket the aspect that quickly, declaring no contact had not been made ever, raises flags that something fishy must have happened.

           Nonetheless, Valerie Jarrett, who was politically and experientially qualified for the job, was without warning pushed away from any Senatorial hopes for the good of Obama. Forgoing not only nation’s rights but also Jarrett’s rights, we are seeing now firsthand how much in a self righteous bubble our President is in.  We can only hope that this situation sticks better than the previous ones have stuck to their involved parties, at least till 2012.
 
 
BP is deserving of no apology; the real apology, should be to the American people. What is the real “shakedown” are the actions taken by the Obama Administration in order to milk whatever they can get from the BP spill aftermath. While they are happily having speeches cloaked in actions toward BP when in reality are a push for pending legislation, the actions that they are supposedly forcing against BP is already occurring. The same amount of money, $20 billion, is already pre-arranged as a start for BP to pay for the effects of the tragedy to an “independent” party. Further, they have especially recently accepted liability which will result in many costly civil cases.

Before the fund, $100 Billion has already been paid to workers that were unemployed by the ban on offshore drilling which by the way, Obama placed on our nation in a time of already consistent recession and overseas oil reliance. While liberal political strategist James Carville may have called the action “A little old-school Chicago politics,” this is running a country and not a mafia. When really examining the resulting fund, it is being ignored that not a penny of it has anything to do with environmental objectives such as cleaning the oil or the animals covered in the black liquid. It is common knowledge getting the oil out of the water was the only way any fisherman could return to work and the wildlife and other factors resulting in the spill can begin to clear up. While seafood companies and fishermen are going bankrupt,

Obama “negotiates” a fund which isn’t even targeting to cleaning up the mess that was left. We also have to examine the structure of the fund. The deal made is that $3 billion will be paid in the third quarter of this year, $2 billion in the forth and $1.25 billion after while the Government has a lien on $10 billion of BP’s assets. Hence the capitol will be first in line if the company claims bankruptcy. In a sense, BP was sent a life raft cloaked by a “fund” which makes Obama look good to the public while southern states still drown in black gold. Don’t get me wrong, I am not a BP fan. This horrific event has been a lesson to them immensely, and we are finding day after day more errors, misrepresentations, and I see if done correctly this will not happen again. However, it is not something that should be used in any way other than a lesson to them and the Government, not an avenue of pitching legislation and showing a stronghold on companies. Almost immediately, Vice President Biden attacked Barton for his statements and while a retort is necessary, politicians in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. He is the second in command of an administration who has ignored the need for available overseas assistance when we are a nation that always assists internationally as well as one that waited for the crisis to go away for days before really fully responding and once it occurred, pointed fingers the same way everyone else already was via the legislative halls. America to Biden: Where’s our apology?
 
 
When it was announced that our current president will be going to his hometown to celebrate Memorial Day the response was almost laughable: At least Biden will be there.

Once again, we see in Obama a lack of realization that this is not a job but a calling that carries an immense requirement of dedication and sacrifice. Every leader who sent patriotic mass e-mails on this holiday reflected one statement: It is not about the parties you have in your backyard but the reflection you carry for the soldiers who serve this country. President Obama himself has continually attempted to state such a phrase. However, while actions speak louder than words, his recent one screams against any pro-military statement he ever uttered.

Instead of following in many of his predecessors’ traditional footsteps as president and change the wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, he took his family to a party out of state and left our vice president to do the duty. Forgetting the challenging times we live in, standing in a war and attempting to climb out of a continuing recession, Obama did what Obama wanted to do. As soon as any reaction to this had a chance to make real waves, it was quickly covered up by much of the media with video of Biden standing at the cemetery and discussions about the Chicago rainstorm that washed out some of the president’s plans. No matter how you cut it, President Obama openly retorted to the independent time we are currently in with the same ignorance he shows the nation during regular days by deciding to do what he wants instead of what is required of him. Through this action, he has inadvertently spit in the face of every American fighter.

Despite any argument, in this day and age there is no way any other president could have done this and gotten away without even a slap on the wrist. For example: What if President Bush and Laura instead of spending their Memorial Day in Washington paying their respects to the fallen decided to take Air Force One to Texas for Jeb’s party? “Bush BBQ’s while Soldiers Sacrifice” sounds like a pretty good title you would see. In fact, it seems that the media pats the current president on the back averting our attention by showing Biden doing the duty of our “leader” and other related stories.

Nonetheless the real risk is the message this gives to our men and women who cannot go to their hometowns or will never see their hometowns again when they see their own leader cannot even sacrifice a home barbeque to show respect to our soldiers is disastrous. We must also realize the tomb carries soldiers whose families still don’t know they are home yet. The use of Vice President Biden as a replacement shows the uncaring nature of this current leader and how much he sees this position as nothing more than a burdensome job which he can leave at any moment for trips, barbeques and family outings instead of a political calling that requires everything in him.
 
 
When Obama’s Supreme Court selection turned out to be a woman who never even held a position on the legal bench and had more questions in her career than court cases, most were not surprised and new any resulting decision would be questionable not only when it came to ability and experience but also credibility for the job. Nonetheless, Elena Kagan was not what anyone really expected.

Even before being a line on Obama’s list, Kagan has been examined and have left many wondering if she even has the ability to be on the bench in the first place. With many actions literally threatening laws she is sworn to defend, it seems the magnifying glass placed on her career recently seems unneeded as not only does she have a thin list of legal writings, but also a pretty obvious controversial legal history. In fact, even her non-legal positions was seen to her as her own personal courtroom. In attempt to bar the military from using the office of Career Services, Kagan attempted to connect “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and the right for military to be present on campuses during her term as Dean of Harvard Law School. While Obama’s colleague Senator John Kerry may have once stated that it is the undereducated who enlist, statistics show otherwise.

The United Nations is an organization built to bring countries together for the good of the world and to work with each other to improve the international quality of life.  It is a pinnacle of what this world can be, but only if used correctly.  Sadly however, it has also become a favorite soapbox for one of the most criminal leaders of our time. Recently, Iranian President Ahmadinejad claimed our nation, the same one who supports him financially as well as the organization he stands within, commits “Acts of Terror”.  Continuing to discuss nuclear weaponry, whose sole purpose he says “is to annihilate all human beings (and the possession if it) is disgusting and shameful”, these are very strange statements coming from a man whose purpose it seems is to create the same weapons he suddenly verbally spits on. Now granted, this is the same person who believes the Holocaust is a fairy tale.

Obama’s litmus test has one thing on it: For the Good of the Party

Nobody needs a crystal ball to see we are in a time of incredible governmental challenge. The nation has, as a result of a hypnotized monopoly, been handed an inexperienced president and power-hungry majority who leads him. Until 2010 and then 2012, there are many errors they will make which we will have to pay for and afterward, clean up in hopes that few lives are affected until then. Once again, Obama has shown his amateur experience by inadvertently reacting to legislation with nothing in mind but his own power.

After the Arizona Bill SB 1070 was enacted into law, suddenly our president awoke and demanded the Supreme Court to examine the legality of what it contains. After Arizona asked for federal assistance after rancher Robert Krentz was killed in an area known for illegal human trafficking and was responded to with silence, our president is questioning their internal reactions to deal with the issue before another life is lost. It seems Obama believes defending a border state, and hence the country, against unknown unlawful inhabitants is unconstitutional.

  Many recent ObamaCare articles have been headed by one statement: “Now they tell us.” Recent news has shown that organizations and reports are somehow finally announcing that ObamaCare will cost more money than planned and will not be reform after all. Despite these facts not really making an entry into mainstream news, the cost of ObamaCare has been known and reported by many. From organizations to regular people blogs, articles, letters and phone calls screamed what is now finally common knowledge. Hence, the only problem with this “announcement” is that it was already known; it just wasn’t admitted by the much of the mainstream news.

Nonetheless, the real people who should come clean regarding this legislation are the democrat lawmakers who pushed for its approval. Despite now everyone uncovering the current and pending damage of ObamaCare, they still haven’t admitted it as these announcements are coming from bipartisan organizations and not liberal legislators.

This has to be the most challenging year for Democrats to date and to tell you the truth they are the only ones to blame. It was they who ignored the cries of the people, not to mention their promises to instill “Change” for America and used backdoor deals to instill an unconstitutional legislation.  Further, they allowed a nation to hire the worst man for President, using tactics of emotion and lies of deception. From Bart Stupak’s resignation to the current polls regarding many liberal strong seats, it seems Americans are acting quickly against the once treasured majority.  Nonetheless, they think they deserve another shot in November and, it seems, will do anything to get it.

Already there have been reports of them supporting outrageous agendas to get just a few extra votes. Recently, California Democratic Party Chair John Burton announced one major way they are going to reach that once owned youth vote: marijuana.  The liberal party is actually going to revert to the legalization of pot in order to keep their majority as for another 4 years.  They actually believe the college students who will be left with the bill for years to come for ObamaCare and other objectives will just forget about it and follow them into a hemp world.  This just goes to show you the world they live in is not the world we reside.

It is so sad it’s almost funny when a majority political party thinks if they name legislation something positive, the negative aspects will not be examined. There is no debate against the fact that our financial services system is damaged. With remaining scars from Goldman Sacs, Bernie Madoff and others, there is a need for reform. However, the democrats’ definition of such as seen through this recent bill begs to differ from what is really required for us to escape the continuing turmoil of recession.

Within this legislation there seems to be 2 factors: New oversight and a “fund” to assist large companies. However, the holes of both these factors shows the real fan of the Democrats, the big businesses, will exit the field once again scot-free. In fact, Simon Johnson of the International Monetary Fund has already stated that the bill will do nothing to get rid of “too big to fail” firms. Even the democrats own treasury secretary Timothy Geithner has stated a bailout is not the way to go in order to assist our continuing recession nor protect shareholders and creditors from losses, the real people who need help.
