During the last few years of the U.S. President George W. Bush administration, such as in 2006, 2007, and 2008, it was commonplace for David Letterman to present during his late-night television show, which was The Late Show with David Letterman and which was shown on CBS-TV, clips of U.S. President George W. Bush's making misspeaks and slips of the tongue, and the presentations were done to make U.S. President George Bush look stupid, and some people could argue well that the tactic helped persuade young people that U.S. President George W. Bush was stupid, but the presentations also showed that David Letterman supported socialism and Marxism--if not also hardline communism--since David Letterman supported Barack Obama, who, it was shown by some broadcasters, had ties to communists (such as William Ayers and William Ayers' wife) and to other ugly minded people (such as Reverend Jeremiah Wright). Incidentally, other programs that attempted to make U.S. President George W. Bush look stupid were This Week with George Stephanopoulos (particularly George Stephanopoulos with his weekly "Sunday Funnies" segment) and The Daily Show (particularly Jon Stewart). Since 2008, it has been commonplace for Barack Obama--when not using a teleprompter to help him--to make statements that show he is a Marxist or socialist and had a mind that is filled with nonsense thoughts, but, for instance, David Letterman has not shown to his audience the dangerous thoughts presented by Barack Obama, who, to my thinking, is much more dangerous to the individual than U.S. President George W. Bush was ever proposed to be by, for example, Mitch Albom (of The Mitch Albom Program, a syndicated radio show) and others in the media. This document is a collection of statements and quotations of Barack Obama, and the statements and quotations are not those that already exist in other documents of mine that are available through the Web site of The Hologlobe Press, such as Political Lessons for the Individual Woman and the Individual Man in the United States of America and THOUGHTS AND PIECES OF LOGIC for the individual woman and the individual man (links to which exist at the end of this document). Here is some what Barack Obama has said in public (and within the brackets are comments from me):
[Note: In the world of writing and journalism, when you see "[" and then "]", the material presented between the "[" and the "]" is text written by the author of the document in which they exist, and the text adds comments or makes some idea clear or clearer.]
Friday, January 9, 2009:
"...Ah, so, ah, eh, eh, eh,...eh...ah, wah, one of the things that I think I'm trying to communicate in this process is for everybody to get past, ah, the habit that sometimes occurs in Washington--ah, whose idea is it, ah, what ideological corner does it come from?--just show me. If, if you can show me that something's gonna work, I will welcome it. If it works better than something that I've proposed, I'll welcome it...." [This collection of words was not a prepared set of words, and it shows how he thinks and talks on the fly or in ad-lib moments.]
"...people who want full-time work but are only able to get part-time work. Clearly, the situation is dire. It is deteriorating, and it demands urgent and immediate action. But let me be clear, today's job report only underscores the need for us to move with a sense of urgency and common purpose...." [He notes that they should move with the "common purpose," which is a socialist's thought.]Wednesday, January 15, 2009:
"...Well, I think he's embarrassed about it. There's but we knew about this before, ah, before we nominated him. It was an innocent mistake, a common mistake that's made, but here's the bottom line--Nobody denies that he's uniquely qualified for this job, that he has more experience than in dealing with international crises, he's been uniformly praised by Republicans and Democrats and by the marketplace and so, ah, um, I, I'm confident he will be confirmed, and I'm confident he will do an outstanding job...." [He responded to Katie Couric, who was talking about the proposed appointment of Timothy Geithner to the position of Treasury Secretary--Timothy Geithner had failed to pay federal income taxes between about 2001 and 2004. The U.S. Treasury Secretary oversees the Internal Revenue Service. Barack Obama picked a flawed man and shows bad judgement; Barack Obama had showed bad judgement in the spring of 2008 by picking Jim Johnson (who was, for instance, the CEO at Fannie Mae from 1991 to 1998) to take part in Barack Obama's vice-presidential selection process, and that man had to resign because of bad press about his background during the election-campaign season for the November 2008 election.][Note: It is reported here that on Tuesday, January 20, 2009, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts led Barack Obama through the "oath of office" ritual in Washington, D.C., and, on that day, the ritual failed to go off smoothly, since, for one, Barack Obama stepped on John Robert's line of "I, Barack Hussein Obama, do...." (and it seems very likely to me that the ritual between the two men will not get much repeat exposure in audio form or video-and-audio form in the future).]
Tuesday, January 20, 2009 (from his inaugural speech):
"...That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age...." [My document entitled THOUGHTS AND PIECES OF LOGIC for the Individual Woman and the Individual Man shows the lie. The problem was not caused by any "collective failure" (which is a socialist's garbage set of words). The federal government was the underlying cause, related to practices at least of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, and even Barney Frank (who is a Democrat quoted in my document) said it was. And, really, the statements make up a nonsense theme. Incidentally, Barack Obama made a speech that was not uplifting, and, in essence, during the entire speech, he was stern looking, and, overall, the speech was flat, and he simply ran off cliches and platitudes, and, to me, it was unknown what he meant though many of his thoughts, and there were times he seemed to expect clapping from the audience, and he did not get it His batch of statements within the quotations of this section is garbage and a lie.]
"...On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord. On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations, and worn-out dogmas, that for too long have strangled our politics. We remain a young nation, but, in the words of scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things...." [This statement hopes to urge politicians with opposing views--especially non-communists and non-socialists, such as true Republican-type politicians--to not fight back and oppose bad ideas of his and the Democrats or socialists or communists. There must be conflict when garbage ideas are proposed. Some people do not want conflict, but I am not adverse to having good politicians not reach across the aisle to support the bad of politicians with bad ideas, even if nothing gets done. And the citizens of the country should hope there is conflict in the U.S. Congress and hope people stand up for the real rights of the individual as noted in the U.S. Constitution.]
"...But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions--that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America...." [Exactly what about the country does he want to "remake"? Barack Obama has already provided a statement that notes that he dislikes the U.S. Constitution, and I note his statement in my document entitled Political Lessons for the Individual Woman and the Individual Man in the United States of America.]
"...We will restore science to its rightful place...." [Barack Obama says that science will be restored to "its rightful place," but he uses bad science about "global warming" or "climate change" in making decisions and policies about energy. For more information about scientists who disagree with the "global warming" idea or the "climate change idea, you should see my document entitled Michigan Travel Tips #57, which can be reached at this link: Travel #57.]
"...Now, there are some who question the scale of our ambitions, who suggest that our system cannot tolerate too many big plans. Their memories are short. For they have forgotten what this country has already done; what free men and women can achieve when imagination is joined to common purpose, and necessity to courage. What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them--that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply...." [What are the plans? What "stale political arguments" is he talking about? He presented more nonsense.]
"...Nor is the question before us whether the market is a force for good or ill. Its power to generate wealth and expand freedom is unmatched, but this crisis has reminded us that without a watchful eye, the market can spin out of control--the nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous. The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our Gross Domestic Product, but on the reach of our prosperity; on the ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart--not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good...." [What nonsense his thought about "a watchful eye" is. The federal government's watchful eye on Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae failed; both entities are watched over by--mostly--the U.S. Congress of the United States of America, since it is the U.S. Congress that controls the creation of spending bills and financial bills and watches over the finances of the country.].
"...And so to all the other peoples in governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born, know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman, and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity and we are ready to lead once more...." [The United States of America has never stopped leading in the cause of freedom and democracy! His statement is nonsense.]
"..With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and roll back the specter of a warming planet...." [This is more nonsense about "global warming" or climate change."]
"...To the people of the poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to the suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world's resources without regard to effect. For the world has changed, and we must change with it...." [This collection of words is great nonsense. For decades and decades, the United States of America has poured money into and given help to other countries of the world, such as after natural disasters. It is impossible to help all people, such as by just giving away money, since, for one, some countries for decades have had dictators or communist or socialist regimes that have suppressed peoples and purposely failed to create economies and products, and the countries have sucked the spirits of life out of the peoples, who might otherwise grow societies. The United States of America does use resources, because it does things and creates things--from new medicines to products--that make the lives of individuals throughout the world better. And what do "the world has changed" and "we must change with it" mean? How has the world changed? This nation is yet a nation based on individuals with individual freedoms guaranteed by he U.S. Constitution. Barack Obama talks garbage!]Friday, January 30, 2009 (in a press statement):
"...So, if we're gonna be having conversations as this process moves forward directly with these folks on Wall Street, eh, eh, underscore that they have to start acting in a more responsible fashion if, ah, if we are ta, together, ah, get this economy rolling again. Ah, there will be time for them to make profits and there will be time for them to get bonuses. Now is not that time...." [Barack Obama is taking upon himself to determine when and when not companies can make profits and give out bonuses. It looks as if Barack Obama is starting the process in which the federal government will become the entity that determines the pay for managers of companies and other employees of companies. And that is bad. The government should not be involved in telling companies what amounts to pay anyone.]Monday, February 9, 2009 (in his first news conference):
[On this date, Barack Obama gave a press conference that started at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and he began with a long statement, and then he took thirteen questions from reporters, and, on this day, as it is said in the entertainent business, during the question-and-answer segment (which lasted at least 45 minutes) he "bombed"--he rambled, stuttered, stalled, lost his train of thought, promoted fear, gave misinformation about a big "stimulus" package being debated in the Congress, et cetera--and there was so much nonsense from him that I am loss as to what quotes from the question-and-answer session to present.]Wednesday, February 18, 2009 (in Arizona, talking about a new plan for foreclosures):
"...The plan I'm announcing focuses on rescuing families who played by the rules and acted responsibly..."
"...By refinancing loans for millions of families in traditional mortgages who are under water or close to it by modifying loans for families stuck in sub-prime mortgages they can't afford as a result of sky-rocketing interest rates or personal misfortune..."
"...So here's what my plan does, establishes clear guidelines for the entire mortgage industry that will encourge lenders to modify mortgages on primary residences..."
"...Any institution that wishes to receive financial, ins.., assistance from the government, from taxpayers, and to modify home mortgages will have to do so according to these guidelines which will be in place two weeks from today..."
"...Solving this crisis will require more than resources, it'll require all of us to step back and take responsibility--government has to take responsibility for setting rules of the road that are fair and fairly enforced..."
"...It will not be easy, but if we more forward with purpose and resolve, with a deepened appreciation of how fundamental the American dream is and how fragile it can be when we fail to live up our collective responsibilities...."
[A lot of people did not act responsibly, since they took on loans that they could not possibly pay back (they should have remained renters). At this time (February 2009), home-mortgage-loan interest rates are stable and are not rising greatly. And he is pushing that the government is going set all the standards and control the mortgage industry, which has done well for decades and decades--the industry was gummed up by federal government policies, such as those related to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. What does he mean by "...all of us have to step back and take responsibility..."? That is garbage, since most people who took out mortgage loans were responsible. And what the heck is the idea about living up to "...our collective responsiblities..."? (The idea of "collective responsibilities" is Marxist garbage.) Barack Obama told lies and offered garbage, especially the part about forcing lenders of mortgage-loan money to change their contracts and the part about making the American public subsidize the people that were given loans that they should not have been given.][Note: It was on Thursday, February 19, 2009, that Rick Santelli (who had experience in investing, who was at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and who was shown on camera) made these statements and others on a television show entitled Squawk Box, which was shown on CNBC):
"...I've been glued to it, because Mr. Ross' nailed it. You know, the government is promoting bad behavior because we certainly don't want to put stimulus forth and give people a whooping eight or ten dollars in their check and think that they ought to save it. And in terms of modifications, I'll tell you what, I have an idea, you know the, the new administrations' big on computers and technology--How 'bout this, president and new administration, why don't you put up a Web site, have people vote on the Internet as a referendum, to see if we really want to subsidize the losers' mortgages or would we like to at least buy cars and buy houses in foreclosure and give them to people that might have a chance to actually prosper down the road and reward people that can carry the water, instead of drink the water?...."
"...This is America! How many of you people want to pay for your neighbors' mortgage that has an extra bathroom and can't pay their bills? Raise their hands!...."
"....President Obama, are you listening?...."][Note: While you go through this material, watch how Barack Obama makes a statement and then uses something like "but" or "on the other hand" to lead into another statement, a tactic that is used the down play the first statement and push the second statement.]
Late February 2009:
"...While we must add to our deficits in the short term to provide immediate relief to families and get our economy moving, it is only by restoring fiscal disipline over the long-run that we can produce sustained growth and shared prosperity...." [This statement is nonsense. Around this time, the federal government under the direction of Barack Obama had already passed laws spending at least--at least--one-trillion-and-a-half dollars (a big portion of which was related to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which was not a "job-creation" bill as it was professed to be by Barack Obama and was filled with "pork" spending), and the U.S. Congress was working on an "Omnibus Spending Bill" of about 500-billion dollars, and Barack Obama was putting forth his regular annual spending budget for the coming year, which was initially proposed to be well over one-trillion dollars--at least 3.6-trillion dollars. And he had recently conducted a "Fiscal Responsibility Summit," which was bureaucratic nonsense and a useless government-planning event, since the laws that were passed, as would be the laws expected to be passed soon, had much that was truly irresponsible.]Tuesday, February 24, 2009 (in address to the U.S. Congress):
"...Finally, because we're also suffering from a deficit of trust, I am committed to restoring a sense of honesty and accountability to our budget...." [This statement was only one of the many statements that Barack Obama offered during this event, and what a piece of garbage it was, given how much he had already spent through laws that he had signed and would soon spend through laws that he would sign.]Saturday, February 28, 2009:
"...I realize that passing this budget won't be easy, because it represents real and dramatic change, it also represents the threat to the status quo in Washington [Washington, D.C.]..."
"...I know that the insurance industry won't like the idea that they'll have to bid competitively to continue to offer Medicare coverage..."
"...That's how we'll preserve and protect Medicare and lower health-care costs for American families. I know that banks and big student lenders won't like the idea that we're ending their huge taxpayer subsidies, but that's how well save taxpayers nearly 50-billion dollars and make college more affordable..."
"...I know that oil and gas companies won't like us ending nearly 30-billion dollars in tax breaks, but that's how we'll help fund a renewable energy economy that will create new jobs and new industries..."
"...The system we have now might work for the powerful and well-connected interests that run Washington [Washington, D.C.] for far too long, but I don't..."
"...I came to provide the sweeping change that this country demanded when it went to the polls in November...."
[What does he mean by the "status quo" in the first piece of text? What it the nonsense about "bid competitively" in the second piece of text? He talks about saving 50-billion dollars (which is a figure that I wonder whether or not is true, since he is--in my mind--a perpetual liar), and yet he is putting into law spending plans and budgets that cost trillions and trillions of dollars, which will lead to big debt for future generations and high inflation. The fourth piece of text is simply garbage, and, in fact, creating a renewable energy economy is flat out false and impossible. And what, as noted in the fifth piece of text, are the "powerful and well-connected interests," given the U.S. Congress has been controlled by Democrats for a little over two years? In November 2008, Barack Obama did not win a stunning win, and, certainly, most people who voted did not vote for sweeping changes that involve "Marxixm" and "socialism," focusing on hurting and attacking businesses--big and small--and purposely working to lower the value of the stock market, which hurts retirement plans of all individuals in the country. (By the way, Barack Obama got 52.7 percent of the vote, which is no mandate to make a change to Socialism or Marxism.)][Note: By this time, ever since Barack Obama took the office of the President of the United States of America, the stock market has gone down (several thousands in points), and that shows investors--of all types--think the economic steps taken by the Barack Obama administration are worthless and defective, and, in fact, some individuals seems to believe he wants the stock market to go down, since he is working to hurt the private sector or the business community in the United States of America, and he has yet to say anything positive or good about the business community of the country.]
Tuesday, March 3, 2009:
"...What I'm looking at is not the day-to-day gyrations of the stock market, but the long term, ah, ability for the United States and the entire world economy to regain its strength, and, you know, the stock market is sort of like a track and poll in politics, it's bobs up and down day to day, and if you spend all your time worrying about that, then you're probably going to get the long-term strategy wrong...." [This thought comes from the mind of a dangerous man, given the stock market has been going down steadily since Barack Obama became the president of the U.S.A., and, on March 3, 2009, the stock market was at the lowest level in twelve years. Barack Obama has done nothing to give investors confidence in the stock market, such as by saying some non-socialist or non-Marxist thought, and that should show you that he wishes the stock market to go down to hurt everyone. So many people are being hurt by Barack Obama as their retirement investments disappear.]Tuesday, March 3, 2009:
"...Buying stocks is a potentially good deal if you've got a long-term prospective on it...." [Barack Obama is a liar! To date, he has done nothing that is good for the stock market--his policies and proposals are anti-business and even anti-business in relation to small businesses, such as dress shops, broaching-machine shops, tire stores, hair salons, paint stores, and such, especially for places like Detroit, where politicans have not promoted business for decades and have dead cities. Barack Obama has spent billions and billions of dollars on nonsense projects and deadly programs, such as the beginnings of a national-health-care system (found under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009), which will end up hurting millions of Americans, as has happened to citizens in England through the national-health-care program in England, because of the drop in the number of dentists and doctors, the rationing of medicine, and the rationing of care, especially to the elderly.]Thursday, March 5, 2009:
"...There are a lot of people out there who are desperate. There's a lot of desperation out there. Today, I want them and the people like them across this country to know that I have not forgotten them. We have not forgotten them! They are why we're here today--to start delivering the change they demanded at the polls in November, that they have continued to demand since the election, and if we're successful, if we can pass comprehensive reform, these folks will see their costs come down, they'll get the care they need, and we'll help our businesses create jobs again, so our economy can grow...."
"...If we want to create jobs and rebuild our economy and get our federal budget under control, then we have to address the crushing costs of health care this year--in this administration. Make investments in reform now, investments that will dramatically lower costs, won't add to our budget deficits in the long term. Rather it is one of the best ways, in fact, maybe, the only way to reduce those long-term costs...."
[The two paragraphs are filled with lies and defective thought. Consider: To reduce health-care costs, a person does not spend more money on health-care, as Barack Obama is proposing; to reduce health-care costs, a person should, for example, reduce corruption and fraud in in the Medicare system (such as by getting rid of false claims) and reduce the regulatory paper work involved in the hospital industry. Barack Obama wants to spend trillions of dollars (gained through taxes) on health care and a new health-care system, and how does spending trillions of dollars reduce costs? Government entities are always wasteful! His proposal is nonsense. How does spending trillions of dollars on health care create jobs and get the economy moving--all the types of businesses that make up America create jobs and get the economy moving, if not hindered through defective laws, such as those enacted by Barack Obama or proposed by Barack Obama. Is it not nice that Barack Obama, a liar, as can be proven in the material presented in this document, is thinking of you ("...I have not forgotten them....)?]
"...Medical costs, Medicare costs are consuming our federal budget. I don't have to tell members of Congress this. Medicaid is overwhelming our state budgets. I don't need to tell govenors and state legislatures that. At the fiscal summit that we held here last week, the one thing on which everyone agreed was that the greatest threat to America's fiscal health is not Social Security, though that is a significant challenge, it's not the investments that we've made to rescue our economy during this crisis, by a wide margin, the biggest threat to our nation's balance sheet is the skyrocketing cost of health care. It's not even close! That's why we cannot delay this discussion any longer...." [Barack Obama is not interested in a discussion, since the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 already has the initial workings of a national-health-care system--Barack Obama bypassed everyone in the health-care community or system, such as doctors, hospital operators, and patients, in any discussion as to what should be done to better things. Barack Obama is already working on setting up a health-care system based on the former U.S. Senator Tom Daschle's health-care model, which is defective thought. Barack Obama presented more nonsense and lies. And did you notice that Barack Obama mentioned the fiscal summit (officially, the "Fiscal Responsibility Summit")? The summit was a sham, since Barack Obama had already spent billions and billions and billions of dollars--really, several trillions of dollars--unwisely and recklessly (the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was pushed through the U.S. Congress and signed into law on February 17, 2009, without almost any person having read the entire document, which was well over one-thousand-pages long). Will not spending trillions of dollars on health care by the federal government, which never does anything efficiently, tax citizens and businesses greatly, and is it not then skyrocketing spending by the federal government of money taken from citizens and businesses? Incidentally, one reason health-care costs have risen is insurance for doctors and hospitals--"malpractice insurance"--has gone up and up, because, when court judgements to pay patients who started up lawsuits are made, whether health-care errors were or were not made by doctors or hospitals, those judgements are often in the millions and millions of dollars and can be ridiculous amounts; in fact, insurance premiums can be so high for some doctors that they do not take on the insurance, and it is "tort reform"--in the form of restricting amounts paid out in court judgements--that would make health-care costs lower.]Friday, March 6, 2009:
"...There are those who argued that our recovery plan was unwise and unnecessary. They opposed the very notion that government has a role in ending the cycle of job loss at the heart of this recession. There are those who believe that all we can do is repeat the very policies that led us here in the first place, but I also know that this country has never responded to a crisis by sitting on the sidelines and hoping for the best. I know that throughout our history we have met every great challenge with bold action and big ideas...." [Barack Obama was at the Columbus police graduation in Ohio when he said this set of words. Barack Obama did not note that it was the federal government that was instrumental in creating the crisis, as is noted in my document entitled THOUGHTS AND PIECES OF LOGIC for the individual woman and the individual man, the link to which is at the end of this document, if read it is read on the Internet (the document is www.hologlobepress.com/logic.htm), and, in particular, it was the federal-government-related entities called Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae that really set off the economic problem. Barack Obama lied again, but it is a liar that he is.]
"...For those who still doubt the wisdom of our recovery plan, I ask them to talk to the teachers who are still able to teach our children because we passed this plan, I ask them to talk to the nurses who are still able to care for our sick, and the firefighters and first-responders who are still able to keep our communities safe, I ask them to come to Ohio and meet the twenty-five men and women who will soon be protecting the streets of Columbus because we passed this plan...." [The "plan," which was the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and which cost 787-billion-plus dollars, was not and is not a jobs-creating law. Barack Obama said more lies and nonsense and made a big deal out of twenty-five jobs--in a verbose manner. The money available for the twenty-five jobs only lasts one year--the local government will have to pick up the cost after one year, which means the jobs may or may not disappear.].Friday, March 6, 2009 (when on Air Force One):
"...Le, le, let's take a look at the budget--the, the answer would be no. And, dah, ah, let's take a look at, at, ah, what we've done. We've essentally said that, number one, we're going to reduce non-defense discretionary spending to lowest levels in decades. That part of the budget, ah, that doesn't include entitlements and doesn't include defense, that we have the most control over, we're actually sitting on a downward trajectory...." [A reporter asked him if he was a socialist as some people have suggested, and this set of the words made up part of his sloppy and defective answer.][Here is an aside, and it presents text from Barack Obama's book entitled Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, and the material is taken from pages 93 and 94 of the edition with a copyright date of 2004 that was published by Three Rivers Press (New York City, New York): "...I got high for just the opposite effect, something that could push questions of who I was out of my mind, something that could flatten out the landscape of my heart, blew the edges of my memory. I had discovered that it didn't make any difference whether you smoked reefer in the white classmate's sparkling new van, or in the dorm room of some brother you'd met down at the gym, on the beach with a couple of Hawaiian kids who had dropped out of school and now spent most of the time looking for an excuse to brawl. Nobody asked you whether your father was a fat-cat executive who cheated on his wife or some laid-off joe who slapped you around when he bothered to come home. You might just be bored, or alone. Everybody was welcome into the club of dissatisfaction. And if the high didn't solve whatever that was getting you down, it could at least help you laugh at the world's ongoing folly and see through all the hypocrisy and bullshit and cheap moralism...." He needed to use a drug to escape questions about who he was from his mind! That is a troubling piece of text. And there are more troubles with the text; for example, I can hear anger, and I see he seems to think the drugs could give him better insight on the world, which is nonsense. I ask: What is the condition of his mind?]
Friday, March 6, 2009 (Barack Obama a telephone call to a reporter at The New York Times, following up in the statements made on Air Force One):
"...One thing, ah, that I was thinking about as I was, ah, gettin' on the, ah, copter, cause, ah, you know, it was hard for me to, to believe you were entirely serious about that socialist question. (The reporter makes an ah-hum sound.) Ah, I, I did think it might be useful to point out that, dah, it wasn't under me that we've started, dah, buying a whole bunch of shares of banks. It wasn't on my watch, and it wasn't on my watch that we passed, ah, a massive new entitlements, ah, prescription drug plan, without a source of funding. Ah, and so, I think that, dah it's important just to note, ah, when you start, ah, hearin' folks, ah, throwing these words around that, ah, ah, we've actually been operating, ah, in a way that is entirely consistent with free-market principles, ah, and that, ah, ah, some of the same folks who were, ah, throwing the word socialist around can't say the same. (The reporter makes a question-type comment.) Well. (Barack Obama chuckles.) I, I, I just think it's clear that by time we had, ah, by the time we got here, ah, ah, there already had been, ah, an enomous infusion of taxpayer money in the financial system, and, ah...the, the thing that I constantly try to emphasize to people is that if coming in the market was doing fine, no one would be happier than me, ah, to stay out of this. (The reporter says "right.") Ah...I, I have more than enough to do, ah, without having to worry about the financial system and the fact that, ah, we've had to take these extraordinary measures and intervene, ah, is, ah, not an indication of my idealogical preferences but an indication of the degree to which, ah, ah, lax regulation, ah, and extravagant risk taking, ah, has precipitated the crisis...." [Examine the text! For one, should he not be concerned with the economy and financial system? But Barack Obama says that "...I have more than enough to do...without having to worry about the financial system...." Also examine the text for the way in which Barack Obama speaks--if you were to listen to it, you can hear signs of a wandering mind, and if you read it, you can see the choppiness. You will see more nonsense and lies, too]Wednesday, March 11, 2009 (when he signed the Omnibus Bill into law):
"....Now, let me be clear, done right, earmarks have, have given legislators the opportunity to direct federal money to worthy projects that benefit people in their districts, and that's why I have opposed their outright elimination...." [During a presidential debate on television with John McCain, Barack Obama had said, "...Senator McCain likes to talk about earmarks a lot, and that's important. I want to go line by line through every item in the federal budget and eliminate programs that don't work and make sure that those do work work better and cheaper...."]
"...I've laid out plans for a budget that begins to restore fiscal discipline so we can break down the 1.3 trillion dollar budget deficit we inherited and pave the way for our long-term prosperity. For the first time in many years, we've produced a honest budget that makes the hard choices required to cut our deficit in half by the end of my first term in office...." [Such nonsense he said.]
"...Now, Congress sent me the final part of last year's budget, a piece of legislation that rolls nine bills required to keep the government running into one, a piece of legislation that addresses the immediate concerns of the American people by making needed investments in line with our urgent national priorities. That's what nearly ninety-nine percent of this legislation does, the nearly ninety-nine percent that you probably haven't heard much about...." [The U.S. Congress actually increased the spending by about eight percent in the bill over what had been intended last year, and the U.S. Congress added something like nine-thousand earmarks.]Monday, March 16, 2009:
"...AIG has received substantial sums from the U.S. Treasury, but I've asked Secretary Geithner [the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Treasury] to use that leverage and pursue every single legal avenue to block these bonuses and make the American taxpayers whole. I want everybody to be clear Secretary Geithner has been on the case--he's working to resolve this mattter with the new CEO [of AIG] Edward Liddy, who, by the way, ah, everyone needs to understand, came on board after the contracts that led to these bonuses were agreed to last year, ah, but I think Mr. Liddy [who was appointed recently to the position by the federal government] and certainly everybody involved needs to understand, this is not just a matter of dollars and cents, it's about our fundamental values...."
"...[He coughs and offers up, it seems, a joke.] Excuse me, I'm choked up with anger here...."
[It was on this day--the day after there had been a "Tea Party" event (a protest about taxes by citizens) at Foundation Square in Cincinnati, Ohio, that Barack Obama had small business as the theme, but he talked about other matters, especially the idea of AIG people getting bonuses. Barack Obama presented more lies and nonsense. First, the contracts involving bonuses (which are "retention bonuses") were or are the way at least some people have gotten paid or are to get paid at AIG--a "retention bonus' is money promised and given to an employee who has been notified that at a certain date in the future the person will be let go, so the money is incentive to get the person to stay at the place till the lay-off date comes or the firing date comes. AIG received bailout money from the federal govenment through a federal law, but no provision of law states or notes how any money given out by the federal government in relation to the law, such as to AIG or any other entity, has to be spent--in essence, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Treasury was given authority to oversee how all the money was spent, and that means the U.S. Congress and the U.S. President were not given direct control or oversight (it was the U.S. Congress that had written the laws); in addition, it is the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 that made any bonuses related to contracts created before February 11, 2009, payable (the bonuses could not be stopped from being issued). Third, the retention bonuses were set up, for instance, about a year ago, which means the employees attached to them through contract knew they were going to be let go in the future. Since the employees who got bonuses were or are under contracts, which noted or note how employees would be compenstated, there is nothing that the federal government can do in relation to getting any bonus money back from employees (and not set off lawsuits by employees), and the federal government and Barack Obama should know that information, and so Barack Obama's anger was a sham, and Barack Obama's purpose to make regular Americans believe he was looking out for them was a sham and scam and lie. (Oh, on this day, New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo made big noise-a lot of hot air--by saying he wanted the names of those who received bonuses by 4:00 p.m.) And what does Barack Obama mean by "our fundamental values"? Whose fundamental values is he talking about? (Oh, on March 17, 2009, some federal government officials were making more nonsense noise related to the Barack Obama's scam and sham and lie, saying that the people who got the bonuses should be taxed hard--a tax that might take all the money back (it would be a federal tax that is created by the federal government and directed at one particular company); for example, U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer said, "...My colleagues and I are sending a letter to Mr. Liddy informing him that he can go right ahead and tell these employees that are scheduled to get bonuses that they should voluntarily return them, because if they don't, we plan to virtually tax all of it. He should tell these employees, 'If they don't give the money back, we'll put in place a new law that will allow us to tax these bonuses at a very high rate so that it's returned to its rightful owners, the taxpayers.' So for those of you who are getting these bouses, be forewarned, you will not be getting to keep them.") Incidentally, the bonuses amounted to about $165-million dollars, which came out of the roughly $173-billion dollars given to AIG by the federal government; about $93-billion dollars of the $173-billion dollars was loaned to other banks, even some banks in other countries.]Wednesday, March 18, 2009:
"...People are rightly outraged about these particular bonuses, but just as outrageous is the culture that these bonuses are a symptom of, that have existed far too long, a situation where excess greed, excess compenstation, excess risk-taking have all made us vulnerable and left us holding the bag...." [What statistics and facts does Barack Obama have to show many people are "outraged" about the bonuses? Barack Obama presents more nonsense and lies. And his statement about "excess greed" is defective. By the way, Barack Obama is trying to teach you that executives and bosses of companies are bad people, and that is nonsense, or, ultimately, Barack Obama is trying--based on his Marxist ideas--to push on you the theme that all business people are bad, even, for instance, a person who runs a small business, such as a meat shop or a hair salon.]
"...I hope that Wall Street and the marketplace don't think that we can return to business as usual...." [Here, Barack Obama adds to that of the previous set of quoted material, and Barack Obama's direct attack on "capitalism" in the country--he is attacking the principles of this country, and it shows Barack Obama is a dangernous man and is not working to make the country better, and it shows Barack Obama is working to break the country down.]
"...The fact that these guys are, ah, looking for bonuses having run down AIG, ah, asks, begs the question of, ah, why were they making that much beforehand when nobody was crticizing them, everybody thought they knew what they were doing...." ["These guys" are people who were asked to stay on, knowing they were going to be let go soon, and the people were simply working at their jobs and, for instance, doing the job of selling investments--till the firing dates arrived.]
"...Ultimately, I'm responsible, I'm the president of the United States. We've got a big mess that we're having to clean up. Ah, nobody here drafted those contracts, nobody here, ah, was responsible for supervising AIG and allowing themselves to put the economy at risk, ah, by some of the outrageous behavior that they were engaged in. Ah, we are responsible, though. The buck stops with me, and my goal is to make sure that we never put ourselves in this kind of position again...." [What garbage he presents on many points. For one, see the previous section (date) about the contracts and how the contracts were made exempt from tax. And, remember, for instance, AIG was dealing with insurance products or investment vehicles related to bad or subprime mortgages loans (the underlying assets of investment vehicles), which had ties to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, and, remember, the bad-risk mortgages loans were pushed on the marketplace by rules from the federal government, and, to learn more about the subject, you should see the document entitled THOUGHTS AND PIECES OF LOGIC for the individual woman and the individual man, the link to which is at the bottom of this document.]
"...Well, I, I have complete confidence, ah, in Tim Geithner and my entire economic team. Un, understand, as I said before, Tim Geithner didn't draft these contracts with AIG. There has never been a Secretary of the Treasury, except maybe Alexander Hamilton right after the Revolutionary War, who's had to deal with the multiplicity of issues that Secretary Geithner is having to deal with--all at the same time--and, ah, he is doing so with, ah, intelligence and diligence--nobody's working harder than this guy--ah, he is making, ah, all the right moves, in terms of, ah, playing a bad hand, ah, and what we need to be doing is making sure that we are providing him the support that he needs in order to work through all these problems so that we're able to deal with them more affectively in the future...." [A reporter noted that his campaign received about $100,000 from AIG and wondered how Barack Obama felt about those contributions today, and the reporter wondered whether or not Secretary of Treasury should resign, as called for by a congressman. Notice, he never answered the question about the money--purposely.]Wednesday, March 18, 2009:
"....Now passing a budget won't be easy. We're hearing the same worn arguments we've heard for years. We'll surely hear more in the coming days. That's where you come in. That's why I'm asking you to head outside this Saturday to knock on some doors, talk to some neighbors, and let people know how important this budget is to our future. And that's why I'm asking you to stay involved in the days ahead by writing letters and making phone calls and summoning that spirit that first gave us this chance for change. Now is our moment to seize that chance to secure our prosperity for our children and their children that lasts. With your help and your commitment, I know we can do it...." [Barack Obama made this statement in a Webcast, and notice how Barack Obama is pushing people to talk about a bill that they have no information about--the bill happens to be more than a $3.8-trillion bill, and Barack Obama has already spent several trillions of dollars of money in the last two months or so, and if this bill is enacted into law, the children and grandchildren of a person living today will have even more heavy debt put on them, and there will be more inflation for the children and grandchildren to deal with. Barack Obama is serving up a "con job" on followers, who will be hurt by what the bill is if the bill is enacted. As Mark Levin (of the nationally syndicated radio show called The Mark Levin Show) might say: Barack Obama is rallying his "drones" through the speech. Oh, by the way, it would be on Friday, March 20, 2009, that the Congressional Budget Office of the federal goverment stated that Barack Obama's proposed budget--with $9.3 trillion of deficit spending between 2010 and 2019--would result in unsustainable deficits, and yet Barack Obama would lie by saying that "...What we will not cut are investments that will lead to real growth and prosperity over the long term." He would use the word "investments," and what the nonsense thought that would be.][Note: Let me now add this bit of information. It was during the week of Monday, March 16, 2009, that Barack Obama made more goofs and made more people angry. For example, on Monday, Barack Obama angered representatives of military veterans, such as the head of the American Legion, by saying that he was promoting the idea of having military veterans get medical insurance related to war injures or potential war injures from the private-medical-insurance industry (Barack Obama's idea is defective, and it shows his heartlessness); during his address to the U.S. Congress on Tuesday, February 24, 2009, Barack Obama had said--"To relieve the strain on our forces, my budget increases the number of our soldiers and Marines, and to keep our sacred trust with those who serve, we will raise their pay and give our veterans the expanded health care and benefits that they have earned....". Also, for instance, on Tuesday, Barack Obama was attending a St. Patrick's Day party of his in the evening, and Barack Obama made a speech--using his teleprompter--and the teleprompter system had troubles, and Barack Obama ended up reading text designed for the Irish ambassador (of Ireland)--Barack Obama did not quickly realize the problem and ended up reading text of the ambassador's in which he thanked himself for putting on the party.]
Thursday, March 19, 2009:
"...For decades, we've avoided doing what we must do as a nation to turn, turn challenge into opportunity. As a consequence, we import more oil than with did on nine-eleven. The, the 1908 Model T--think about this--the 1908 Model T earned better gas mileage than the typical SUV in 2008. Think about that. A hundred years later, we're getting worse gas mileage not better...." [Barack Obama has defective thoughts, and that is again evident through his deciding to use such a ludicrous comparision. An SUV can move at least a quarter ton of mass or payload (think of quarter-ton pickup trucks and half-ton pickup trucks), which a Model T could not. An SUV can travel for, for example, 400 miles before having to be refueled, and a Model T never could. An SUV is more rugged than a Model T was. An SUV has air conditioning, and a Model T never had air conditioning, except openings to the outside (I believe SUVs have "windows"). The federal government forced automakers to put airbags in SUVs, and no Model T ever had airbags. SUVs have better brake systems than Model T had. SUVs have good heater systems, and Model Ts had...ugh! In addition, it was on this day--in the evening--that Barack Obama appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (on NBC-TV), and he made several disturbing statements, one of which had him trying to dissuade young people from taking up studies in investment banks and the like and which had him trying to promote the idea of having young peolpe take up studies in, for instance, teaching and engineering, and what he was doing is attacking again private enterprise in the country and the banking industry and the like, and that shows even more how defective and dangerous Barack Obama is.]Sunday, March 22, 2009 (on 60 Minutes):
"...Now, ah, do these folks deserve Miranda Rights? Ah, do they deserve, deserve to be treated like a shoplifter, ah, down the block? Of course, not!..." [Barack Obama was talking about enemy combatants captured by U.S. military personnel. It would be on Wednesday, June 10, 2009, that is became very public knowledge that Barack Obama authorized having U.S. military personnel, FBI agents, and CIA agents read the Miranda Rights to captured combatants, which is a very, very bad idea. You should see my document entitled A Little History of Barack Obama Events: A Show of Deconstruction, which can be reached by using this History link, for more about the topic.]Tuesday, March 24, 2009 (a news conference--the second):
"...Finally, the most critical part of our strategy is to ensure that we do not return to an economic cycle of bubble and bust in this country. We know that an economy built on reckless speculation, inflated home prices, and maxed-out credit cards does not create lasting wealth--it creates the illusion of prosperity, and it's endangered us all. The budget I submitted to Congress will build our economic recovery on a stronger foundation so that we don't face another crisis like this ten or twenty years from now. We invest in the renewable sources of energy that will lead to new jobs and businesses and less dependency on foreign oil. We invest in our schools and our teachers so that our children have the skills they need to compete with any workers in the world. We invest in reform that will bring down the cost of health care for families, businesses, and our government. And in this budget we hav, have to make the tough choices necessary to cut our deficit in half by the end of my first term, even under the most pessimistic estimates. At the end of the day, the best way to bring our deficit down in the long run is not with a budget that continues the very same policies that have led us to a narrow prosperity and massive debt, it's with a budget that leads to broad economic growth by moving from an era of borrow and spend to one where we save and invest. And that's what clean-energy jobs and busineses will do all across America. That's what a highly skilled work force can do all across America. That's what an efficient health-care system that controls costs and entitlements like Medicare and Medicaid will do. That's why this budget is inseparable from this recovery, because it is what lays the foundation for a secure and lasting prosperity. The road to that prosperity is still long, and we will hit our share of bumps and setbacks before it ends, but we must remember that we can get there if we travel that road as one nation, as one people. There was a lot of outrage and finger pointing last week, and much of it is understandable, and I am angry as anybody about those bonuses that went to some of the very same individuals who brought our financial system to its knees--partly because it's yet another symptom of the culture that led us to this point. But one of the most important lessons to learn from this crisis is that our economy only works if you recognize that we're all in this together, that we all have responsibilities to each other and to our country--bankers and executives on Wall Street need to realize that enriching themselves on the taxpayers dime is inexcusable, that the days of outsized rewards and reckless speculation that puts us all at risk have to be over. At the same time, the rest of us can't afford to demonize every investor or entrepreneur who seeks to make a profit--that drive is what has always fueled our prosperity, and it is what will ultimately get these banks lending and our economy moving once more. We'll recover from this recession, but it will take time, it will take patience, it will take an understanding that when we all work together--when each looks beyond our own short-term interests to the wider set of obligations we have toward each other--that's when we succeed, that's when we prosper, and that's what is needed right now. So let's look towards the future with a renewed sense of common purpose, a renewed determination, and most importantly a renewed confidence that a better day will come...." [This was a piece of text from his opening statement, which took place before he would take thirteen questions (three of which had follow-up questions). This part of the statement was loaded with garbage and crap. First, the budget that he put forth was worth at least 3.6-trillion dollars, and that is an incredible amount of money, and, in essence, the Congressional Budget Office (or the CBO) hinted that it is a bad idea to spend so much money, because, for one, it could lead to a crash of the economy--it will create too much debt. How does spending trillions of dollars on health care, as he wishes to do, reduce the cost of health care in the country, since he is planning to spend a great, great amount of money? Again, he talks about investing in things, but the government does not really "invest" in anything, since the government does not make money through working and since it gets money by taxing people and businesses, who normally invest in things. Barack Obama's saying that he is going to reduce the deficit in half by the end of the next four years is nonsense, since Barack Obama is spending so much money and has already spent an incredible amount of money in the first two months or so of his term in office. Notice how he thinks of people as "workers." "When we all work together--when each looks beyond our own short-term interests to the wider set of obligations we have toward each other--that's when we succeed, that's when we prosper..." and "So let's look towards the future with a renewed sense of common purpose, a renewed determination, and most importantly a renewed confidence that a better day will come...."--these two main sets of words should make you think of socialism, collectivism, and worse things, and you think of someone who wants you to be just another one of the group, a pawn, and a number. Read all the text carefully. Study it!]
[The news conference was a boring and useless presentation; for instance, Barack Obama talked in generalities and ran off what are informally called "talking points," such as making general statements about health care, and the remainer of this section presents quotations from the question-and-answer part of the night.]
"...When it comes to cap and trade, the broader principle is that we've got to move to a new energy era, and that means moving away from, ah, polluting energy sources towards cleaner energy sources. That is a potential engine for economic growth. I think cap and trade is the best way from my perspective to achieve some of those gains because what it does is it starts pricing the pollution that's being sent into the atmosphere. Ah, the way it's structured has to take into account regional differences. It has to protect consumers from huge spikes, ah, in, ah, electricity prices. So there, ah, a lot of technical issues that are gonna have to be sorted through. Our point in the budget is let's get started now--we can't wait. Ah, and my expectation is that, ah, the energy committees, ah, or other relevant committees in both the House and the Senate are gonna be moving forward, ah, ah, strong energy package. It'll be authorized. We'll get it done. And I will sign it...." [What a messed up collection of thought that Barack Obama presented. Barack Obama has said in the past that he would tax coal-related energy producers out of business, and, since the 1970s, it has been the Democratic Party that has heavily pushed to stop companies based in this country from drilling for oil in this country. Remember: Carbon dioxide (which you exhale when you breathe) is not a pollutant, as it is going to be strongly pushed by Barack Obama that it is. No good and abundant alternative energy sources or systems exist in the world to replace the use of coal and oil. And Barack Obama is against--as the Democratic Party has been for decades--the building up of nuclear-based power plants. Barack Obama's only green energy sytems are windmills and solar cells, and windmills and solar cells are in no way useful enough to power the country. What does Barack Obama mean by "..take into account regional differences...."? That thought makes no sense. Barack Obama has already mentioned how electricity prices are going to rise significantly for everyone through what he would like to do, so he lies in what he said this night about protecting consumers from rising "electricity prices." And, of course, everything "can't wait..." (Remember: Barack Obama pushed hard to quickly pass through the U.S.Congress the defective American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which was made law on February 17, 2009).]
"...Of course, I do, Ed, which is why we're doing everything we can to reduce that deficit. Ah, look, if this were easy, ah, then, ah, we would have already had it done, and the budget would have been voted on and, ah, everybody could go home. Ah, this is hard. And the reason it's hard is because we've accumulated a structural deficit that's going to take a long time, and we're not going to be able to do it next year or the year after or three years from now. What we have to do is bend the curve on these deficit projections, and the best way for us to do that is reduce health-care costs. That's not just my opinion, that's the opinion of almost every single person who has looked at our long-term fiscal situation...." [This was the question: "Do you worry, though, that your daughters not to mention the next president will be inheriting an even bigger fiscal mess if the spending goes out of control?" Barack Obama's retort was one big lie. What is "...bend the curve on these deficit projections" section? Projections are projections. Is Barack Obama going to fake what the projections are, or is Barack Obama going to lie about the projections or manipulate projections? Well, let us continue on. Barack Obama said that "..the best way for us to do that is reduce health-care costs." Barack Obama is going to spend a lot of money--tax money taken from people and businesses--to make a national health-care system, and then Barack Obama is going to have to cut costs, and that means some patients are going to lose and, it seems to me, see no care and see extra pain and early death.]
"...So this provision would affect about one percent of the America people, they would still get deductions, it's just that they wouldn't be able to write off thirty-nine percent. In that sense, what it would do is equalize, ah, when I give a hundred dollars, I'd give the same amount of deduction as when some, ah, bus driver who's making $50,000 a year, $40,000 a year gives that same hundred dollars, right now, he gets twenty-eight percent, ah, ah, he gets to write off twenty-eight percent, I get to write off thirty-nine percent, I don't think that's fair. So I think this was a good idea, I think it is a realistic way for us, ah, to raise some revenue from people who benefitted enormously, ah, over the last several years. Ah, it's, it's not gonna cripple them, they'll still be well to do. And, ultimately, if we're gonna to tackle the serious problems that we've got then, ah, in some cases, those who are more fortunate are gonna have to pay a little bit more...." [This text was an answer to a question about Barack Obama's wish to make taking tax deductions for charitable contributions harder or reduce the amount that could be deducted from taxes. In the end and no matter how you look at it, Barack Obama is moving money away from charities and giving it to the federal government--people would have less money to give to charities because they would have less money (and the federal government would have more). The next paragraph, which follows this one, is an answer to a followup question that wondered if Barack Obama was confident that giving to charities would not be discouraged by his tax plan.]
"...Yes, ah, I am. I mean if you look at the evidence, ah, there's very little evidence that this has a significant impact on charitable giving. I'll you what has a significant impact on charitable giving is a financial crisis and an economy that's contracting, and, so, ah, the most important thing that I can do for charitable giving is to fix the economy, ta get banks lending again, to get businesses opening their doors again, to get people back to work again, ah, then I think charities will do just fine..." [Barack Obama's thought is nonsense! If you take away from someone money that can be used for charities, the somone has less to give to charities--that is the truth. And notice: "...the most important thing that I can do...." Yes, "I" is there. Yes, Barack Obama--one man--is going to fix the economy or has the power to fix the economy. Garbage!]
[Again Barack Obama avoided answering almost every question clearly and directly, and Barack Obama drifited in his thoughts (which used time for no really good purpose for the television viewer or radio listener), and that was especially true when he worked on the question about the Middle East (especially focusing on Israel); once he talked a bit about the Middle East, he drifted off into talking about unrelated matters, such as the energy challenge, schooling, the budget, the banking system, et cetera.]Thursday, March 26, 2009 (during a virtual town meeting on the Internet):
"...The answer to the question is--Not all of these jobs are gonna come back, and it probably wouldn't be good for our economy for a bunch of these jobs to back because, frankly, there's no way that people could be paid a living wage on some of these jobs, at least, in, or, in order to be competitive in an inner, international setting, so what we got to do is create new jobs that can't be out-sourced, ah, and, and that's why energy is so promising. I don't think that we've lost all the jobs we're gonna lose in this recession. We're still gonna be, ah, in a difficult time for much of this year...." [The question came from woman named Harriet, and she wondered when jobs (outsourced jobs) that went overseas would be back. What new jobs does he know about that can be created? Has he just invented something new that will have to be produced? And why would having jobs come back be bad? I think jobs are jobs, and more jobs will not hurt.]
"...We could set up systems so that everybody in each house have their own smart meters that will tell you when to turn off the lights, when the peak hours are, can help you sell back energy, ah, that you've generated in your home through a solar panel or through, ah, ah, other mechanisms. All this can be done, but it also creates jobs right now. Our biggest problem, we don't have enough electricians to lay all these lines out there...." [What a collection of nonsense Barack Obama presents. Generally speaking, companies have been running electric lines and telephone lines in the country since the late 1800s, and lines have been replaced and changed and updated, and fiber-optic lines have been around for a couple decades, et cetera. It is very unlikely a person will ever produce enough electricity at the place the person lives through solar panels to have any electricity left over to sell (you could hook up an generator to a bicycle and pedal your days away). Consider: A house in, for example, Detroit is not in a place where it could produce electricity with a windmill or a paddle wheel set in to the water of a stream or creek. And smart meters is garbage, allowing the government to have direct control of the power in your house, such as how much you may use.]
"...I actually want a universal health-care system. That is our goal! I think we should be able to provide health care to every American that they can afford and that's provides them high quality...." [Ugh!]Friday, March 27, 2009 (in France):
"...Ah, it was also interesting to see that, ah, political interaction in Europe is not that different from the United States Senate. There's a lot of, ah--I don't know what the term is in Austrian--wheeling and dealing, and you know people are out pursuing their interests...." [Barack Obama seems to think "Austrian" is a language, but it is not, and, in Austria, which is a country in Europe, the main language is German.]Monday, March 30, 2009:
"...GM has made a a good-faith effort to restructure over the past several months, but the plan that they've put forward is, in its current form, not strong enough. However, after broad consultation with a range of industry experts and financial advisors, I'm absolutely confident that GM can rise again, providing that it undergoes a fundamental restructuring. As an initital step, GM is announcing today that Rick Wagoner is stepping aside as chairman and CEO. This is not meant as a condemnation of Mr. Wagoner, who's devoted his life to this company, rather it's a recognition that will take new vision and new direction to create the GM of the future...." [What experts is Barack Obama talking about? Name them! Well, in the end, what we have is Barack Obama, who has done nothing, is now in charge of GM and was instrumental in firing a person in a private company (an unprecedented event and a bad event). For Barack Obama, failure is the option.]
"...And during this time, my team will be working closely with GM to produce a better business plan. Let me be clear--The United States government has no interest in running GM, we have no intention of running GM. But we are interested in is giving GM an opportunity to finally make those much-needed changes that will let them emerge from this crisis a stronger and more competitive company...." [What does Barack Obama know about what will make GM viable in the future? He has run nothing, he has created nothing, and he has only torn things down.]
"...I'd like to speak directly to all those men and women who work in the auto industry or live in countless communities that depend on it. Many of you've been going through tough times for longer than you care to remember, and I won't pretend that the tough times are over. I can't promise you there isn't more difficulty to come. But what I can promise you is this--I will fight for you. You're the reason I'm here today. I got my start fighting for working families in the shadows of a shuttered steel plant. I wake up every single day asking myself--What can I do to give you and working people across this country a fair shot at the American dream?...." [Oh, yes, Barack Obama can give you a "fair shot" at the American dream (I say in jest). Such nonsense he stated. It was and is all a lie, especially the part in which he says that "...I will fight for you...." That will be the day! If Barack Obama has his way, workers will be working for a company--the government--and there will be no reason for a union (though the union could run the company), and to whom will employees complain.]
"...We think we can have a successful U.S. auto industry, but it's got to be one that's realistically designed to weather this storm and to emerge, ah, at the other end, much more, ah, lean, mean, and competitive than it currently is. Ah, and that's gonna mean a, ah, set of sacrifices for all parties involved--management, labor, shareholders, creditors, suppliers, dealers--everybody's gonna have to come to the table and say--It's important for us to, ah, to take seriously restructuring steps now in order ta preserve a brighter future down the road...." [Barack Obama wants everybody to "sacrifice," since he is doing everything that should not be done to make the auto industry better.]
"...So it's my hope that the steps I'm announcing today will have, ah, salutary effect, will go a long way forward towards answering many of the questions that people have about the future of GM and Chrysler. But just in case there's still nagging doubts, let me say it as plainly as I can--If you buy a car from Chrysler or General Motors, you'll be able to get your car serviced and repaired just like always, your warranty will be safe. In fact, it will be safer than it's ever been because starting today the United States government will stand behind your warranty...." [The federal government has put Medicare and Medicaid and the Social Security System in a bankruptcy state, and, in essence, at this time, the federal government has 53-trillion dollars in unfunded debt because of such programs (in total); unfunded debt is that which is not covered by expected incoming taxes and such from the private sector (such as citizens), and unfunded debt is debt that is not covered or cannot be covered in the future. By the way, in jest and as a joke, Mark Levin (of The Mark Levin Show) noted that the telephone number of the White House is 1-202-456-1414, and, maybe, you should use the number if you are having trouble with your warranty, since the federal government is now, it seems, backing warranties.]
[See: "Monday, June 1, 2009 (General Motors Corporation files for bankruptcy):".]Week of Monday, March 30, 2009--particularly late in the week (in Europe for the G20 Summit):
"...I've come to Europe this week to renew our partnership, one in which America listens and learns from our friends and allies but where our friends and allies bare their share of the burden. Together we must forge common solutions to our common problems, so let me say this as clearly as I can--America is changing!...." [Barack Obama through unconstitutional means and devious means is trying to change America, which is based on "the individual" and not "an individual," such as a king or a dictator, which Barack Obama seems to hope to be, and when Barack Obama says that "America is changing," that is not good, since regular Americans--no matter what their race--wish not to be slaves and live in a slave state, which is what Barack Obama seems to want as the way for America, which was never designed to be like governments based on dictators and kings and which, by the way, should not be subject to laws of other countries or international organizations that go against the law structure of the U.S., which is based on the U.S. Constitution.]
"...After the initial NATO engagement in Afghanistan, ah, we got sidetracked by Iraq...." [Barack Obama is wrong. The U.S. did not get sidetracked by Iraq! The U.S.'s going to Iraq was to protect the people of the U.S., Iraq, and elsewhere in the world. If you do research about things of this date period, you should discover about sixty-percent of the people in Iraq support some type of government based on democracy--they had what amounted to as hell before.]Wednesday, April 1, 2009 (in England, at a press conference and where a G20 meeting would take place):
"....When we miss an opportunity to lead, to confront a crisis that knows no borders, we have a responsibility to coordinate our actions, and to focus on common ground, not on our occasional differences. History shows us that when nations fail to cooperate, when they turn away from one another, they turn inward, the price for our people only grows. That's how the Great Depression deepened. That's a mistake that we cannot afford to...." [Barack Obama presented more nonsense thought. The Great Depression deepened and stayed around a long time in the U.S., because, for one, President Franklin D. Roosevelt kept spending great amounts of money and kept the private sector from growing and doing things (which is the tactic that Barack Obama is using--purposely to hurt people and businesses). And what ended the Great Depression in the U.S. is Germany and Japan were instrumental in creating World War II, and the U.S. ended up in a big war, and the private sector created machine shops and more to make goods and weapons. Oh, what do such things as "nations fail to cooperate" and "turn away from one another" mean?]
"...I, I would say that, ah, if you look at the, the sources of this crisis, ah, the United States certainly, ah, has some accounting to do with respect ta a, ah, regulatory system that was inadequate to the massive changes that had taken place in the global financial system. I think what is also true is that, ah, here in Great Britain, ah, in Continental Europe, around the world, we were seeing the same mismatch between the regulatory regimes that were in place and, ah, the highly intergrated, ah, global capital markets that have emerged. So at this point, ah, I'm less interested in identifying blame than fixing the problem, and I think we've taken some very aggressive steps in the United States to do so, not just responding to the immediate crisis but ensuring that, ah, banks are adequately capitalized, ah, dealing with, ah, the enormous drop off in demand and the contraction that's been taking place, but more importantly in, in the long term making sure that we've got, ah, ah, set of, ah, regulations that are up to the task, ah, and that includes, ah, a number that will be discussed, ah, at this summit. I think there's a lot of convergence between all the parties involved about the need, ah, for example, to focus not on the legal form that a particular financial product takes or the institution that emerges from but rather--what's the risk involved, ah, what's the function, ah, of this product, and how do we regulate that adequately? Much more affective coordination, ah, between countries so that we can, ah, anticipate some of the risks that are involved and dealing with, ah, the, ah, problem of derivatives markets and making sure that, ah, we've set up, ah, systems that, ah, can reduce some of the risk there. So, I actually think that there's enormous consensus that has emerged in terms of what we need to do now, and, ah, I'm a big believer in looking forward rather than backwards...." [Barack Obama was asked: Who is responsible for the finacial crisis? What a mess of nothing Barack Obama did present. Read it, study. Notice the nonsense.]
"...Ah, I had a professor when I was in law school who said--'Some are to blame, but all are responsible.' Ah, and, I, I think that's the best way for us to approach, ah, the problem that we have right now...." [Here is more nonsense thought from Barack Obama. It was and is not up to the U.S. government to regulate the global financial system! In addition, it was the Democratic Party of the U.S. government that is tied closely to the financial crisis in the U.S., especially those associated to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (federal-government-linked agencies), which triggered the financial crisis. See THOUGHTS AND PIECES OF LOGIC for the individual woman and the individual man, the link to which is at the end of this document. And, remember, the blame goes to many of the big-name Democrats in Washington, D.C., from 1991 to today, and not "all are responsible" for causing the problem, and his saying "all are responsible" tries to take the blame away from the people who were really responsible and should be taken to task or, maybe, to the woodshed.]Thursday, April 2, 2009 (a press conference in London, England):
"..I would like to think with my election and, ah, the early decisions that we've made, ah, that you're starting to see, ah, some restoration of America's standing in the world...."Sunday, April 5, 2009 (in Europe):
"...I state clearly and with conviction America's committment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons. I am not naive! This goal will not be reached quickly, perhaps not in my lifetime. It will take patience and persistence. But now we too must ignore the voices who tell us that the world cannot change. We have to insist--Yes, we can. The United States will take concrete steps towards a world without nuclear weapons. To put an end to Cold War thinking, we will reduce the role of nuclear weapons in our national security strategy and urge others to do the same. But we will begin the work of reducing our arsenal, to reduce our warhare, warheads and stockpiles, we will negotiate a new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty with, with the Russians this year. President Medvedev [of Russia] and I began this process in London and will seek a new agreement by the end of this year that is legally binding and sufficiently bold. And this will set the stage for further cuts and we will seek to include all nuclear-weapon states in this endeavor. We need more resources and authority to strengthen international inspections. We need real and immediate consequences for countries caught breaking the rules, but we go forward with no illusions--some countries will break the rules. That's why we need a structure in place that ensures when any nation does, they will face consequences...." [What a mess of thought came out of Barack Obama's mind. What type of "structure" does he want and who will do any enforcing? The United Nations was around in the 1990s and the early 2000s, and there were 17 resolutions of condemnation put out on Iraq by the United Nations about inspections in relation to bad weapons and such in Iraq, and nothing was done by the international community. Roughly, around the time this speech was made, North Korea launched a missile (in a test) that could carry a nuclear weapon; North Korea is a nation run by a dictator--a dangerous man--who is starving a lot people in North Korea (but he is putting a lot of money into military systems). Barack Obama's belief he can get the world to reduce nuclear weapons is at the very least naive and childish, since the world has many evil dictators and many communist and Marxist leaders of countries and since the world has many countries that do not wish the United States well or other good countries well. Overall, what you should hear is Barack Obama's strategy to reduce the strength of the military of the United States, reduce the ability to deter attacks by others on the United States by having a strong force of arms available that could be used to protect the United States, and reduce the amount of military response that the United States can give upon being attacked. A missile defense for the United States is important to have in this world where enemies have missiles.]April 2009 (in Europe):
"...America's relationship with the Muslim, ah, community, the Muslim world cannot and will not just be based on opposition to terrorism. We seek broader engagement based on mutual interests and mutual respect. We will listen carefully, we will bridge misunderstandings, and we will seek common ground. We will be respectful even when we do not agree. We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over the centuries to shape the world, including in my own country...." [Barack Obama is wrong. It was Europeans of a number of religions that were instrumental in shaping the country and the U.S. Constitution in the early decades, and there were the people from the African continent, too, and then people from other places, such as China (in the 1800s), helped to develop and grow this country, and, yes, Muslims and such contributed to the country.]
"...In recent years, we've allowed our alliances to drift. I know that there have been honest disagreements over policies, we also know that there's something more that has crept into our relationship. In America, there's a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world. Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and dismissive, even derisive...." [Barack Obama puts down the U.S. some more, and it reveals more that he dislikes the U.S., though he is the President of the U.S.]Monday, April 13, 2009 (soon after the conclusion of the hijacking of a U.S. vessel by Samolian rebels or terrorists or pirates, an event that had started in the previous week):
"...We are resolved to halt the rise of privacy in that region...." [Barack Obama did indeed use the word "privacy" in this quotation. His using "privacy" instead of "piracy" does not surprise me. Barack Obama is a man who dislikes individual freedoms. "Privacy" is probably a word that he has in mind often--in a bad sense for you--and the word slipped out. Having been an announcer for about three decades, I know how a particular word that is like another word can slip out if that particular word is often held in mind. I am not laughing, knowing what Barack Obama is and stands for][Note: On Tuesday, April 7, 2009, the Department of Homeland Security of the federal government released a report that law enforcement should be aware of the rise of "right-wing extremist activity," which, it was hinted at can include "conservatives," who stand for limited government, especially limited federal government, and can include those individuals that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority. The United States of America was, in essence, created by the states and is a product of the states, and states do have certain rights. On April 14, 2009, Government Rick Perry of Texas said: "...I believe the federal government has become oppressive. I believe it's become oppressive in its size, its intrusion in the lives of its citizens, and its interference with the affairs of our state. I'm here today to offer my unwavering support to millions of Texans just like yourself that are tired of Washington, D.C., trying to come down here and tell us how to run Texas...." Governor Rick Perry was in the State Capitol for Texas, and Rick Perry is one of a number of governors in the country that have refused to take money from the federal government--money that is being pushed on the states by Barack Obama (a state that takes the money referred to would be beholden to the federal goverment about how it should be spent, which could adversely affect the budgets and services of the states in the future.) The U.S. Constitution, which was created by the states that existed at the time in the 1700s, has within it the idea of "federalism," which is the idea, for one, that powers not granted to the federal government are reserved to the states or, in fact, the people. By the way, on April 14, 2009, World Net Daily had a list presented on forty-five pages about the places at which "tea parties" were scheduled to take place on April 15, 2009, around the country.]
Tuesday April 14, 2009 (at Georgetown University):
"...My administration in Congress boosted demand by passing the largest recovery plan in our nation's history. It's a plan that's already in the process of saving or creating 3.5-million jobs over the next two years...." [On this date, Barack Obama made a long speech at Georgetown University, where he had made a stop during the election campaign season, and this thought was only one of many statements that had nonsense. The recovery plan, which was the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (which had been signed into law on February 17, 2009), has really not taken affect, and, in fact, much of it does not take affect until 2010 and 2011. The plan is a mute item at the moment in relation to boosting demand.]
"...Economists on both the left and the right agree the last thing a government should do during a recession is to cut back on spending. You see when this recession began many families sat around the kitchen table and tried to figure out where they could cut back and so have many businesses, and this is a completely reseasonable and understandable reaction, but if everybody--if every family in America--cut backs all at once, then no one is spending any money, which means there are more layoffs, which means the economy gets even worse. That's why the government has to step in and temporarily boost spending in order to stimulate demand. That's exactly what wer're doing now...." [What people on the "left" and what people on the "right" was he talking about, and were they in this country or elsewhere, and how many of each side was he talking about? I have heard reports that many economists, especially on the right, do not agree with the idea that the federal government should spend and spend much money during a recession, and the Congressional Budget Office had reported recently that Barack Obama's plans on spending trillions of dollars was or is a very bad idea. Remember: When people are given tax refunds, they have more money to spend on products and services, and when they spend the money or even save the money, they would not cause a big increase in inflation, as happens when the federal government takes up spending trillions of dollars to supposedly stimulate the economy.]
"...During the course of the decade, the formula changed. Instead of saving their pennies to buy their dream house, many Americans found that suddenly they could take out loans that by traditional standards their incomes just could not support. Others were tricked into signing these subprime loans by lenders who were trying to make a quick profit. The reason these loans were so readily available was that Wall Street saw big profits to be made..." [Barack Obama lied more. It was the U.S. President Bill Clinton administration that pushed lending institutions to offer more risky loans (as is noted in my document entitled THOUGHTS AND PIECES OF LOGIC for the individual woman and the individual man), and Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, which are government-tied entities, were a big part of the economic downturn or problem of 2008 and 2009. People were not "tricked" into signing loans, since it is always up to a person to well understand what the consequences of signing a contract are. A person should understand when the self does or does not have resources to buy something. And Wall Street does not make home mortgage loans! Barack Obama said crap when he made Wall Street the enemy in relation to the creation of mortgage loans!]
"...It is that house upon the rock, proud, sturdy, unwavering in the face of the greatest storm. We'll not finish rebuilding America in one year or even many years, but it we use this moment to lay that new foundation, if we come together and being the hard work of rebuilding, if we persist and preserve against the disappointments and setbacks that will surely lie ahead then I have no doubt this house will stand in the dream of founders, will live on in our time...." [Barack Obama was a liar again, and he showed he is a man of garbage. There is no "foundation" that needs to be rebuilt, since the country has a worthwhile foundation--The U.S. Constitution and the business principle of capitalism. To date, all that Barack Obama has done is spend money that the country does not have and has passed along the debt to later generations (hence the term "generational theft"). The founders of this country did not want the country to be, for example, based on Marxism (which is what Barack Obama stands for) or a king or a dictator.]
[The speech had more nonsense, but I do not list or comment on any of the other nonsense thoughts.]Wednesday, April 15, 2009:
"...For too long, we've seen taxes used as a wedge to scare people into supporting policies that actually increased the burden on working people, instead of helping them live their dreams. That has to change, and that's the work that we've begun. We've passed tax cuts that will help our economy grow. We made a clear promise that families that earn less than $250,000 will not see their taxes increase by a single dime. We've given income tax relief to the Americans who need it and the workers who have earned it. So, on this April 15, we're reminded by the enormous responsibility that comes with people's tax dollars, and we're renewing our committment to a simpler tax code that rewards work and the pursuit of the American dream...." [Barack Obama lied. The taxes and costs, such as utility costs, are going up. Remember: Barack Obama said that his policies related to electricity generation were going to increase costs signficantly to consumers. And useful tax cuts have not been passed. There is much more nonsense in this quotation, so study it. What do you think about the "wedge to scare" idea? I think it is nonsense. What do you think about the "simpler tax code that rewards work" idea?]Wednesday, April 15, 2009 (on CNN Espanol):
"...Immigration reform has to be part of a broader strategy, ah, to deal with, ah, our border issues
and, as I've said repeatedly, ah, I am a strong sup, proponent of comprehensive immigration reform, ah, I've already met with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, ah, and committed to working with them to try to shape the agenda that can move through Congress...."
"...There's a reason why there are consistently, ah, so many immigrants to our country from Latin America. I think people still see, ah, America, as, as, a, a place, ah, full of hope. But what is also true is there's always been a tradition, ah, of concern that the United States has been heavy-handed when it comes to foreign policy in Latin America...." [What garbage Barack Obama emits from his defective mind. There has been no tradition of heavy-handedness in Latin America.]Thursday, April 16, 2009 (material published in newspapers in, for one, Mexico):
"...Too often the United States has not sought or maintained relations with its neighbors. We've allowed ourselves to be distracted by other priorities without realizing that our progress is directly linked to the progress in the whole American continent. My government is committed to the promise of a new day. We will renew and maintain more extensive relationships between the United States and the hemisphere for the sake our common prosperity and our common security...." [This is how the material was presented by Mark Levin of The Mark Levin Show on Thursday April 16, 2009, and you may find slightly different versions, since it is a translation of material presented in one particular version (I chose the punctuation.) No matter what version you see, you will see a number problems. For instance, notice the "my government" set of words, and notice how during other times that Barack Obama has talked or does talk, he will often use "I" or "my" or "me," when Barack Obama should have used the "United States" (Barack Obama makes everything about "him"). The United States has maintained and taken up relations with its neighbors, such as Canada and Mexico, the latter of which, in the 1990s, received billions of dollars from the United States to keep it afloat. By the way, Mark Levin noted on this day that Barack Obama does not talk about black Muslims killing black Christians in Sudan.]
"...To confront our economic crisis, we don't need to debate about whether to have a rigid, state-run economy or unbridled and unregulated capitalism--we need pragmatic and responsible action that advances our common prosperity. To combat lawlessness and violence, we don't need a debate about whether to blame right-wing paramilitaries or left-wing insurgents--we need practical cooperation to expand our common security...." [Mark Levin also presented this quote or nearly it; I was unable to record it, traveling on the roads of Michigan, so this version is as presented by The Huffington Post for the Internet (which involved a different translator it seems). What is Barack Obama's nonsense about "unbridled and unregulated capitalism"? And to Barack Obama, everything is "common" this and "common" that, which is Marxist talk.]Friday, April 17, 2009:
"...To move forward, we cannot let ourselves be prisoners of past disagreements. I'm very grateful that President Ortega, I'm grateful President Ortega did not blame me for things that happened when I was three months old. And to often an opportunity to build a fresh partnership of the Americas has been underminded by stale debates. I didn't come here to debate the past, I came to deal with the future...." [This comment was made at the Summit of the Americas to a reporter. Study the comment. Remember: Daniel Ortega is the dictator in control of Nicaragua.]Sunday, April 19, 2009:
"...Ah, ah, I think it was, it was a nice gesture--that give me a book. I, I, I'm a reader. And, ah, you're right, we had this debate throughout the campaign--I mean the whole notion was that, somehow, ah, if we showed courtesy or, ah, opened up dialogue with governments that had previously been hostile to us, ah, that somehow it would be a sign of weakness, and the American people didn't buy it, and there's a good reason the American people didn't buy it, 'cause it doesn't make sense...." [A reporter for CNN asked Barack Obama, for one, what he thought about receiving the book from Hugo Chavez (the president of Venezuela), who is a dictator, at the Summit of the Americas. The book is an anti-U.S. book that was written by Eduardo Caleano; the book blames the problems of the Western hemisphere on the U.S., which is false and wrong. I wonder if the book was purposely given to Barack Obama so that people in the U.S. might buy it and cause the book to displace the book entitled Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto, which was written by Mark R. Levin, from the number-one spot on the best-selling-book lists in the U.S., where it had been for at least three weeks already. By the way, there was more to the answer, but nothing more over the next minute or so had anything to do with the book that Hugo Chavez gave as a gift.]Tuesday, April 21, 2009 (sitting with the King of Jordan at his side):
"...The, the O.L.C. [Office of Legal Counsel] memos that were released reflected in my view, ah, us losing our moral bearings. That's why I've discontinued those enhanced interrogation programs. For those who carried out some of these operations within the four corners of, ah, legal opinions or guidance that had been provided from the White House, ah, I do not think it's appropriate for them to be prosecuted. Ah, with respect to those who formulated those legal decisions, ah, I would say tha, that is going to be more of a decision for the Attorney General within the parameters of, ah, various laws, and, and I don't want to prejudge that...." [The country did not lose "our moral bearings." Barack Obama is a nitwit! The memos were legal, and the procedures noted within them were legal. No president has never thought about prosecuting members of a former administration in relation to O.L.C. memos or interrogation procedures on prisoners of war, but now we have Barack Obama, a man who is dangerous to the country and continues to show his hate for the country and each citizen--individual--such as you. By the way, to see a little more on this subject, you should see the "Nancy Pelosi" entry in the document entitled Political Lessons for the Individual Woman and the Individual Man in the United States of America, which shows how Nancy Pelosi lied about knowing about "waterboarding" events.]
"...We are willing to uphold our ideals even when they're hard. And sometimes we make mistakes, because that's the nature of human enterprise, but when we do make mistakes, then we are willing to go back and correct those mistakes, ah, and, and keep our eye on, ah, those, those ideals and values that have been passed on, ah, generation to generation...." [Study this mess in relation to the previous paragraph for yourself.][Note: Former Vice President Dick Cheney appeared on the Fox News Channel show entitled Hannity (hosted by Sean Hannity) on Monday, April 20, 2009, and here are two comments that Mr. Dick Cheney made (and I was able to receive through The Mark Levin Show on Tuesday, April 21, 2009):
"...What I find, ah, well, disturbing is the extent to which he's gone to Europe, for example, and seemed to apologize, ah, profusely in Europe, and, dah, and then to Mexico and he had to apologize there and so forth. And I think you have to be very careful, ah, the world outside there, ah, with our friends and our foes, ah, will be quick to take advantage of a situation if they think that they're dealing with ah, a weak president or one who's not going to stand up and aggressively defend America's interest. Ah, the United States provides most of the leadership in the world. We have for a long time. And, hum, I don't think we have much to apologize for...."
"...One of the things that I find a little bit disturbing about this recent disclosure is that they put out the legal memos, ah, the memos the CIA got from the Office of Legal Counsel, and they didn't put out the memos that show the success of the effort, and there are reports that, ah, show specifically, hum, what we gained as a result this effort. They have not be declassified. I've formally asked that they be declassified now...I didn't announce this, ah, up till now. I haven't talked about it, but I know specifically of reports that I read, I saw that laid out what we learned through the interrogation process and what the consequences were for the country...."]Wednesday, April 22, 2009 (it was "Earth Day," a nonsense event):
"...You know, ah, some of you may remember during the campaign when gas was really high, I suggested during the campaign that one small step Americans could take would be to keep their tires inflated. Remember that? Everybody teased me. 'Oh, look, look! That's Obama's energy policy. My opponent sent around tire gauges. Well, I'll tell you what, turns out, that saves you an awful lot of gas, money in our pocket. It also made sense for our energy use as a whole. If eveybody kept their tires inflated that would have a big dent, it would produce as much oil savings as we might be pumpin' in some of these offshore sites by drilling...." [Barack Obama shows what an idiot he is and what a dangerous man he is through this nonsense statement.]Thursday, April 23, 2009 (a statement made after meeting with credit-card executives):
"...First of all, I think that there has to be strong and reliable protections for the consumers, ah, protections that ban unfair rate increases and forbid abusive fees and penalties. The days of anytime, any reason rate hikes, ah, and late fee traps have to end. Number two, all the forms and statements that credit-card companies send out have to be written in plain language and be in plain sight, ah, no more fine print, no more confusing terms and conditions, we want clarity and transparency from here on out...." [Barack Obama--the dictator--spoke.]Monday, April 27, 2009:
"...One thing is clear, our capacity to deal with a public-health challenge of this sort rests heavily on the work of our scientific and medical community, and this is one more example of why we can't allow our nation to fall behind. Unfortunately, that's exactly what's happened...." [Around this date, people were hearing about a swine-flu problem, and, through this statement, Barack Obama put down the greatest medical-research-oriented country in the world, and that shows you what crap Barack Obama is. By the way, on this day, Barack Obama was at the National Academy of Sciences, and his teleprompter failed, and he ended up introducing people that he had already introduced and goofed up, and here is a piece of his statement: "...In addition to John, sorry, the, ah, I just notice that, ah, I, I jumped the gun here. Good. Move it up." (People in the audience laughed.) "I'd already, I'd already introduced all you guys...."]Wednesday, April 29, 2009 (the 100th day for Barack Obama's administration):
"...Ya know, when, ah, you see, ya know, those of you who were watch, watching certain, ah, news channels that, ya know, which I'm not very popular, and you see people waving tea bags around." (People in the audience laughed.) "Let, let me just remind them that I am happy to have a serious conversation about how we are going to cut our health-care costs down over the long term, how we're going to stabilize Social Security. Clair and I are working dilgently ta do basically a thorough audit of federal spending, ah, but, but let's not play games and pretend that the reason isn't because of the Recovery Act, because that's just a fraction of the overall problem that we've got. We are gonna have to tighten our belts, but we're gonna have to do it in an intelligent way, and we got to make sure that the people who are helped are working American families, and we're not suddenly saying that the way to do this is ta eliminate programs that help ordinary people and give more tax cuts for the wealthy. We tried that formula for eight years. It did not work, and I don't intend to go back to it...." [Barack Obama was in Missouri when he passed along this nonsense, especially the "conversation about how we are going to cut our health-care costs" part, since Barack Obama is keeping Republicans out of the discussion process and already has the plan designed.]
"...We have begun to pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off, and we've begun the work of rebuilding America...." [Barack Obama lied, and one note on that is the Gross Domestic Product of the country for the first quarter of the year went down 6.1 percent, and that is not good, and his voting for TARP last year, his signing American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (in February 2009), and his spending other trillions of dollars this year are parts of his defective work.]
[Note: On this day, in the evening, Barack Obama did another news conference--the first part of which was a speech that involved his using a teleprompter and the second part of which was a question-and-answer session that did not involve his using a teleprompter and that was a slow and boring affair that was filled with a lot statements that offered nothing useful. One of the statements that Barack Obama had referred to Winston Churchill (of England), who was an important figure during World War II, and, here, I note that, a number of weeks ago, Barack Obama sent a bust of Winston Churchill, which had been given as a gift to the U.S. by England, back to England, not wanting it around.]Thurday, April 30, 2009:
"...A group of investment groups and hedge funds decided to hold out for the prospect of an unjustified taxpayer-funded bailout. They were hoping that everybody else would make sacrifies and they would have to make none. Some demanded twice the return that other lenders were getting. I don't stand with them! I don't stand with those who held out when everybody else is sacrificing...." [This statement relates to the Chrysler bailout and bankruptcy event that was going on. Notice that Barack Obama used "sacrifices" and "unjustified." His thoughts are nonsense. The investment groups and hedge funds, which are honorable entities and legal entities, hold money of all types of people in the private sector, such as people who can be secretaries or auto workers, and Barack Obama forced--forced--these entities to take low returns, somewhere around 20 cents on the dollar, and you should see my documents entitled Madness in a President and Other Matters in a Defective Mind and Frank Beckmann of WJR-AM Interviews Tom Lauria, an Attorney in Chrysler Mess, which give evidence that Barack Obama used coercion to get the investment groups or hedge funds (which can be considered "bond holders" in this case) to accept less money in the bankruptcy mess related to Chrysler than they should have (and the links to those documents exist at the end of this document). Barack Obama is a thug!]
Note: You should see the entry for "June 16, 2010," which exists later in this document.Thursday, May 7, 2009:
"...But these savings large and small add up. The one-hundred-twenty-one budget cuts we are announcing today will save taxpayers nearly seventeen-billion dollars next year alone. And even by Washington standards that should be considered real money...." [I first learned through Mark R. Levin on his radio show on Thursday, May 7, 2009, that, actually, the 17-billion is not a cut but a shift, since the money from the certain uses can be shifted to other uses (Mark Levin read an article). And, given that Barack Obama has spent or set up spending of somewhere near ten-trillion dollars already, the seventeen-billion dollars is a tiny, tiny drop in the bucket--if it were really a budget cut. Ah, what a fun lie that Barack Obama gave. For more information about the seventeen-billion dollars, you should see the article entitled "The $17 Billion in 'Savings'" that appeared on National Review Online on May 7, 2009. And you should see "Thought Number Four" of my document entitled THOUGHTS AND STATEMENTS ABOUT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA for the individual woman and the individual man, since it has informaton about "zero-line budgeting" and "baseline budgeting" of government.]
"...We must build a government of the twenty-first century, a government that is more efficient and more effective, a government that does what we need to do it...." [Yes, Barack Obama said this. What did Barack Obama mean? Barack Obama goofed again!]Friday, May 8, 2009:
"...Now, such hardworking Americans are why I ran for president. They're the reason we've been working swiftly and aggressively across all fronts to turn this economy around, to jump start spending and hiring and create jobs where we can with steps like the Recovery Act. Because of this plan, cops are still on the beat, and teachers are still in the classroom. Shovels are breaking ground, and cranes dot the sky. A new life has been breathed into private companies like Sharon Arnold's. Already ninety-five percent of working Americans are seeing a tax cut that we promised would show up in their paychecks...." [Note: "Sharon Arnold's" may be spelled incorrectly, since I choose the spelling while listening to an audio clip of the statement. Now I say that all that Barack Obama said was flapdoodle, since, for one, the unemployed total for the country increased by over 500,000 in April 2009, and, also, for the first quarter of 2009, the economic-activity number for the country dropped by 6.1. percent. Barack "Flapdoodle" Obama just ran off the mouth, or B.O. just ran off the mouth!]Wednesday, May 13, 2009:
"...The publication of these photos would not add any additional benefit to our understanding of what...carried out in the past by a small number of individuals. In fact, the most direct consequence of releasing them I believe would be to further inflame anti-American opinion and to put our troops in greater danger...."
"...Let me be clear I am concerned about how the release of these photos, ah, would impact on the safety of our troops. Ah, I have made it clear to all who are within the chain of command, however, ah, of the United States armed forces that the abuse of detainees in our custody is prohibited and will not be tolerated...."Wednesday, May 13, 2009 (in a speech to graduating students at Arizona State University in Tampa, Florida):
"...It may be tempting to fall back on the formulas for success that have been peddled so frequently in recent years. You're taught to chase after all the usual brass rings. You chase after big money. You figure out how big your corner office is. You worry about whether you have a fancy enough title or a fancy enough car. That's the message that's sent each and every day or has been in our culture for far too long--that through material possessions, through a ruthless competition pursued only on our own behalf--that's how you will measure success...." [Doing for yourself--This concept is a selfish idea in Barack Obama's mind. Notice how Barack Obama put down material possesions, which should make you think about such material possessions as--a house, a car, a boat.... Socialists and communists do not want individuals to own property, such as land and a house! Wake up!]
"...I want to highlight two main problems with that old tired me-first approach to life. First of all, it distracts you from what's truly important--it may lead you to compromise your values and your principles and your committments. It was in pursuit of gaudy short-term profits and the bonuses that came with them that so many folks lost their way on Wall Street. The trappings of success may be a by-product of this larger mission, but it can't be the central thing. Just ask Bernie Madoff...." [On March 12, 2009, Bernie Madoff pleaded guility to eleven criminal charges associated with a ponzi scheme related toWall Street that involved him, and it must be remembered most operators of businesss are not crooks, but Barack Obama tried to teach these students that business operators are crooks or bad.]
"...A relentless focus on the outward markers of success can lead to complacency. In recent years, in many ways, we've become enamored with our own past success, lulled in the complacency by the glitter of our own achievements. We've become accustomed to the title 'military super power,' forgetting the qualities that got us there, not just the power of our weapons, but the discipline and valor and the code of conduct of our men and women in uniform. We've become accustomed to our economic dominance in the world, forgetting it, it wasn't reckless deals and get-rich-quick schemes that got us where we are but hard work and smart ideas, quality products and wise investments...." [Barack Obama simply ran off the mouth here.]
"...Did you study business? Why not help a struggling non-for-profit find better and more effective ways to serve folks in need. Did you study nursing? Under-staffed clinics and hospitals across this country are desperate for your help. Did you study education? Teach in a high-needs school, give a chance to kids who can't, who can't get everything they need maybe in their neighborhood, maybe not even their home, but we can't afford to give up on them--prepare them to compete for any job anywhere in the world. Did you study engineering? Help us lead a 'green revolution,' developing new sources of green energy that will power our economy and preserve our planet. Find somebody to be success for. Raise their hopes, rise to their needs!...."
[These four pieces of text should make you cringe. Barack Obama told the students not to strive, and Barack Obama told the students to be sheep and, in essence, work for the state and give up on being involve in the private-sector industry of the country. Barack Obama put down all business people by comparing them to a prominent bad man, Bernie Madoff. Barack Obama studied the teachings of Saul Alinsky, who was a communist, and Saul Alinsky's book entitled Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals, and in the book, Saul Alinsky says "...once you organize people around something a commonly agreed upon as pollution, then an organized people is on the move. From there it is a short and natural step to political pollution, to Pentagon pollution...." You should see Barack Obama wanted the students and all persons to join him in his revolution--a part of which is the "green revolution." Oh, yes, Barack Obama put down the United States of America once again. Study the four pieces carefully, and understand a man who is really not bent on making the business community, such as the auto industry, better in the country.]
"...The long-term deficit and debt that we have accumulated is unsustainable. We can't keep on just borrowing from China or borrowing from other countries because part of it is, we have to pay, we will pay interest on that debt, and that means we're mortgaging our children's future with more and more debt, but what's also true is at some point they're just going to get tired of buying our debt, and when that happens, we will really have to raise interest rates to be able to borrow and that will raise interest rates for everybody, on our auto loan, on your mortgage, on, so it'll, it will have a dampening effect on the economy...." [Barack Obama really put on the crap with this statement. Barack Obama has been the driving force in the over-spending--Barack Obama is the problem. And it seems to me, over the next three years or so, Barack Obama will spend even more or try to spend even more, though he has already set up at least ten-trillion dollars of new debt so far.]Sunday, May 17, 2009 (at the University of Notre Dame):
"...And part the problem, of course, lies in the imperfections of man--our selfishness, our pride, our stubbornness, our acquisitiveness, our insecurities, our egos, all the cruelties large and small that those of us in the Christian tradition understand to be rooted in original sin. We too often seek advantage over others, we cling ta outworn prejudice and fear those who are unfamiliar. Too many of us view life only through the lens of immediate self-interest and crass materialism, in which the world is necessarily a zero-sum game The strong too often dominate the weak, and too many of those with wealth and with power find all manner of justification for their own priviledge in the face of poverty and injustice. And so for all our technological and scientific advances, we see here in this country and around the globe violence and want and strife that would seem sadly familiar to those in ancient times...." [I could have left out the final sentence of this piece of text, but I left it in, though with it gone you would better see a thought that I now present. It does seem to me that Barack Obama is talking about himself in this piece of text, and it is as if subconsciously he is exposing himself. For example, Barack Obama listens to no one, acting like a dictator, and Barack Obama has been cruel, talking down the stock market and putting people out of work and attack 401(k) investments, and Barack Obama has used intimidation to force bond holders related to Chrysler Corporation to give up what should be due them (see Madness in a President and Other Matters of a Defective Mind or Frank Beckmann of WJR-AM Interviews Tom Lauria, an Attorney in Chrysler Mess), and Barack Obama has done more that fits the statement. It were as if Barack Obama's mind was showing its current internal conflict. But that is not schizophrenia.]
"...How do we engage in vigorous debate? How does each of us remain firm in our principles and fight for what we consider right without demonizing those with just as strongly held convictions on the other side? And, of course, nowhere do these questions come up more powerfully than on issue of abortion. Maybe, we won't agree on abortion, but we can still agree this heart-wrenching decision for any woman is not made casual. It has both moral and spiritual dimensions. So let us work together to reduce the number of women seeking abortions. Let's reduce unintended pregnancies...." [Barack Obama presented filler material here.]
"...I found myself drawn not just to the work with the church, I was drawn to be in the church. And at time, Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, who was the archbishop of Chicago. For those of you too young to have known him or known of him, he was a kind and good and wise man, a staintly man. I can still remember him speaking at one of the first organizing meetings that I attended on the south side. He was congenial and gentle in his persuasion, always trying to bring people together, always trying to find common ground...." [Barack Obama presented more filler material. However, notice the material led into the "common ground" idea, and you must remember you should not find "common ground" with the enemy, when the enemy is wrong or is presenting something that is bad--you give up no ground to the enemy, you blast the enemy "out of the water." Do not get in the habit of giving up on what is right!]
"...I stand here today as president and as an African-American on the 55th anniversary of the day that the Supreme Court handed down the decision in Brown vs. Board of Education, and Brown, of course, was the first major step in dismantling the Separate But Equal doctrine. But it would take a number of years in a nationwide movement to fully realize the dream of civil rights for all of God's children...." [How do the unborn or just-born-but-not-wanted fit in with Barack Obama's statement, since Barack Obama supports infanticide?]
"...This generation, your generation is the one that must find a path back to prosperity and decide how we respond to a global economy that left millions behind even before the most recent crisis hit,. an economy where greed and short-term thinking were too often rewarded at the expense of fairness and diligence and a honest day's work...." [What "millions" is Barack Obama talking about? Is Barack Obama talking about people in other counties? Many countries around the world have gone nowhere in improving the lives of citizens, because the countries are headed by kings or dictators and tyrants who wish to keep the citizens poor and weak (especially in relation to resources, such as money). My knowledge makes me note to you that most businesses in the United States of America have always thought about the long-term impact of decisions so that the companies will not go out of business; for example, managers think about inventory of raw materials or finished materials, the life span of equipment, the employees that might be hired in growing the company, et cetera. Barack Obama's thought about "fairness" is useless thought.]
"...Your generation must decide how to save God's creation from a changing climate and the threats to destroy it...." [I will say, in this case, "man" is not a "god" or "God" and does not have the power to change the climate of the world--the world is very, very, very, very big, large "man" could not gather up enough energy or mechanical systems or whatever to change the climate of the planet or control the climate of the planet. The planet does what it does.]
"...remember that in the end in some way we are all fishermen, if nothing else that knowledge should give us faith, and through our collective labor, and God's providence, and our willingness to shoulder each other's burdens, America will continue on its precious journey towards that more perfect union...." [Barack Obama closed with this statement, and notice the word "collective" is used ("collective" is a word regularly used by communists and the like, and "collective" is used to put down the idea of "individualism"). Why should I shoulder other's burdens, before the other's work to cover their own burdens? Why should you cover my burdens? In life, you do have to do something, and if you do nothing, you get nothing! (By the way, Barack Obama is a man who really has done nothing.) And Barack Obama showed he is working to get to some type of utopia. And what is "utopia" for a mind--Barack Obama's mind--that is defective? (See Madness in a President or Other Matters of a Defective Mind.)]Monday, May 18, 2009 (announcing new CAFE standards, which deal with mileage for vehicles in relation to a gallon of fuel used):
"...Thank you all for coming to the White House today and for coming together around what I consider to be a historic agreement to help America break its dependence on oil, reduced harmful pollution, and begin the transition to a clean-energy economy. As this is an extraodinary gathering, here, we have today, standing behind me, along with, ah, Ron Gettelfinger and, ah, leadership of the UAW, we have ten of the world's largest auto manufacturers, we have environmental advicats, ah, as well as elected officials from all across the country...." [Barack Obama said that the country is going to go from an oil-based economy to a ???????-based economy. What is going to replace oil?]
"It's no secret we've been at odds, ah, for years, even decades, in fact, some of the groups here have been embroiled in lawsuits against one another. So that gives you a sense of how impressive and significant it is that these leaders from across the country are willing to set aside the past for the sake of the future. For what everyone here believes, even as views differ on many important issues is that the status quo is no longer acceptable. While the United States makes up less than five percent of the world's population, we create roughly as quarter of the world's demand for oil and this appetite comes at a tremendous price...." [Barack Obama dislikes that "status quo" of everything that is the United States of America, and you and your beliefs in freedom and individuality are part of the status quo that Barack Obama dislikes. Oh, the reason the United States of America uses oil and other energy more than other countries do is the people of the United States of America do things, build things, invent things, et cetera, and many other countries around the world do nothing.]
"...California has also agreed to support this standard, and I wanna applaud California, Governor Swartzenegger, and the entire California delegation for their extraordinary leadership. Ah, they have led the way on this as they have in so many other efforts to protect the environment...." [California is a dead state--nearly in bankruptcy. By the way, on Tuesday, May 19, 2009, voters in California sank through the election process six tax proposals! People in California are revolting against their bad elected officials.]
"...It costs money to develop these vehicles, but even as the price to build these cars and trucks goes up, the cost of driving these vehicles will go down, as drivers save money at the pump, and this is a point I want to emphasis--if you buy a car, your investment in a more fuel-efficent vehicle as a result of this standard will pay off in just three years. Three years time, you will have paid off the additional investment required. Over the life of a vehicle, the typical driver would save about twenty-eight-hundred dollars by getting better gas mileage. Everyone wins!...." [The amounts are lies. People are not going to save money. Taxes will go up in states to pay for roads and whatever. And, by the way, I know smaller vehicles do not last as long as bigger vehicles do (parts, such as engine parts, break down faster in smaller vehicles than bigger vehicles), and that means you will have more repairs to make and pay for or have to change vehicles more often.]
"...We have over the course of decades slowly built an economy that runs on oil. It has given us much of what we have--for good but also for ill. It has transformed the way we live and work, but it's also wrecked havoc on our climate. It's helped create gains in prosperity unpresidented in history, but it also places our future in jeopardy. Ending this dependence will take time. It will take an incredible effort, it will take a, a historic investment in innovation, but more than anything, it will take a willingness to look past our differences, to act in good faith, to refuse to continue the failures of the past, and to take on this challenge together...." [Barack Obama presented more nonsense, dug out of his destorted view of life.]
[Oh, by the way, I have to talk about ethanol used in gasoline, because gasoline with ethanol is less effective than gasoline alone, which means if more ethanol is added to fuels, people will get less miles per gallon and that will affect the mileage standards--vehicles will not have a harder time meeting mileage standards. Did you know it takes about 140 gallons of water to make a gallon of ethanol? Look it up! I have heard about companies that produce ethanol that are not doing well or, in fact, are going bankrupt.]Wednesday, May 20, 2009:
"...We're pleased we've seen some progress, ah, that, ah there is some return to normalcy in certain aspects of the financial markets..." [Barack Obama is running off the mouth again. To what normalcy does Barack Obama refer? After having fallen greatly in late 2008 and early 2009, the stock market is now, in essence, stalled, and Barack Obama now has some control of some banks of the country, which is not normal, and, on this day, in essence Barack Obama's administration took more control of GMAC, a finance company, by giving it more federal-government money, and that is not normal business for the country, and it is bad business for the country. And at this moment, I can say--In addition, early next month, many more people around the country will be put out of work when about 400 auto dealers related to Chrysler Corporation will lose ties to Chrysler Corporation because Barack Obama's administration is breaking the ties and established contracts, and then businesses that do work for the dealerships will be hurt or have to close down, and that will be especially bad for small towns or communities.]Thursday, May 21, 2009:
"...Unfortunately, faced with an uncertain threat, our government made a series of hasty decisions. I believe that many of the decisions were motivated by a sincere desire to protect the American people. But I also believe that all too often our government made decisions based on fear rather than foresight. But all too often our government trimmed facts and evidence to fit ideological predispositions, instead of strategically applying our power and our principles. Too often we set those principles aside as luxuries we could no longer afford...." [The theme of this text is fighting terrorism as done by the U.S. President George W. Bush administration, and Barack Obama ran off the mouth again, but I will say that, during U.S. President George W. Bush's time as the U.S. President, the country did not set aside principles or did not set aside the "rule of law" of the country.]
"...For reasons that I will explain, the decisions that were made over the last eight years established an ad-hoc legal approach for fighting terrorism that was neither effective nor sustainable, a framework that failed to rely on our legal traditions and time-tested institutions...." [Barack Obama lied again, and, for one, the approach was not a failure, since a plot to attack Los Angeles, California, was averted.]Wednesday, May 27, 2009:
"...This woman is brilliant! She is qualified! I want her confirmed! I want her walking up those marble steps, and starting to provide some justice!..." [This statement was made in relation to the U.S. Supreme Court and his nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor (a judge of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals) to become a new member of the U.S. Supreme Court. Notice how he thinks the U.S. Supreme Court has not been providing justice, though it has for every individual on a non-race basis. To learn more about Sonia Sotomayor, see the section called "Sonia Sotomayor" in the document entitled Political Lessons for the Individual Woman and the Individual Man in the United States of America, a link to which exists at the end of this document.]Wednesday, May 27, 2009:
"...I want you to know Los Angeles, you ain't seen nothing yet...." [He attended a fund-raiser with Hollywood-type people when he made this statement.]
"...we're making some progress." (There was laughter from the audience.) "We're donin'." (He chuckled.) "We're doin' Okay. But as pleased as I am with how far we've come, and because we've been movin' so quickly, I think people maybe don't entirely realize how extraordinarily productive we've been these forc, ah, these first four months. Ah, I would put these four months up against, ah, the four months of, of any prior administration since F.D.R...." [This was said to the Hollywood people, who laughed, though Barack Obama has done crap to the country, such as kill General Motor Corporation and Chrysler Corporation and spend many trillions of dollars on mostly useless crap.]
"...When you look at the economy, right now, I think it's safe to say that we have stepped back from the brink, that there is some calm that didn't exist before...." [Such nonsense Barack Obama said to the Hollywood people, and, now, go on to Monday, June 1, 2009, the day on which General Motors Corpotation went into bankruptcy, and Barack Obama made a bunch of nonsense statements, one of which was a statement that more hurt was coming--more jobs were to be lost.]Monday, June 1, 2009 (General Motors Corporation filed for bankruptcy and Barack Obama spoke):
"...But I want to be honest with ya. Building a leaner G.M. will come at a cost. It will take a painful toll of many Americans who have relied General Motors throughout the generations. So I wanna say a word directly to all the man and women watching today, wondering what all this will mean as far as their own lives are concerned. I know you've already seen more than your fair share of hard times. We saw four-hundred-thousand jobs lost in the auto industry in the year before this restructuring even began. I will not pretend the hard times are over. Difficult times days lie ahead. More jobs will be lost. More plants will close. More dealerships will shut their doors, and so will many parts suppliers. But I want you to know that what you're doing is making a sacrifice for the next generation, a sacrifice you may not have chose to make but a sacrifice you were nevertheless called to make so that your children and all, and all of our children can grow up in America that still makes things and still builds cars, that still strives for a better future...." [Why should anyone believe Barack Obama? Why should anyone believe that the children of the future really will have a better time? Barack Obama talked crap. And, yes, because Barack Obama attacked the auto industry and, for one, is giving General Motors to the UAW and taking away the investment of bond holders in General Motors, people will have to "sacrifice." Barack Obama is purposely hurting people, because, it seems, Barack Obama likes to hurt people, and you should see the document entitled Madness in a President and Other Matters of a Defective Mind, a link to which exists at the end of this document, which shows that Barack Obama likes to hurt people.]
"...As our auto workers in auto communities past through these difficult times we as a nation but do our part. That's why in March, I appointed Ed McGovern [Ed Montgomery*], Director of Recovery for Auto Communities and Workers. That's why two weeks ago, Ed announced a green-jobs training program for auto workers in hard-hit communities. That's why last week, Ed and Karen Mills, my Small Business Administration chief, traveled to Indiana to announce a new plan to provide loans to auto, RV, and boat dealers to help finance floor plans. That's why, we are accelerating the purchase of a federal fleet of cars to jump start demand and give the industry a boost at a time when it needs one. And that's why, I'm calling on Congress to pass fleet-modernization legislation that can provide a credit to consumers who turn in old cars and purchase cleaner more-fuel-efficient cars. These are important steps on a long road to overcoming a problem that didn't happen over night and will not be solved over night. I recognize that today's news carries a particular importance, because it's not just any company we're talking about. It's G.M. It's a company that's not only been a source of income but a source of pride for generations of auto workers and generations of Americans. While the G.M. of the future will be different from the G.M. of the past, I am absolutely confident that, if well managed, a new G.M. will emerge that can provide a new generation of Americans with a chance to live out their dreams, that can out-compete auto makers around the world and that can once again be an integral part of America's economic future...." [Notice the "our auto workers" set of words and the "do our part" set of words. These sets of words are thoughts related to "collectivism" of the socialism idea, and notice how it puts people in categories. Barack Obama talked about groups of people that he sees that he can control and are beneath him. I shall let you analyze the remainder of the mess for yourself.]
[* = The audio clip that I heard seemed to show that Barack Obama said "McGovern," but the name should be Ed Montgomery.]
"...These companies were facing a crisis decades in the making and having relied on loans from the previous administration were asking for more. From the beginning, I made it clear that I would not put any more tax dollars on the line, if it meant perpetuating the bad business decisions that had led these companies to seek help in the first place. I refused to let these companies become permanent wards of the state, kept afloat on an endless supply of taxpayer money...." [One reason the auto industry was hurt was the federal government--mostly Democrats in the U.S. Congress--blocked companies from drilling for oil in the country, which would have kept oil prices lower. Notice Barack Obama put down the management of the company, which did well for decades--getting in trouble because of the federal-government rules and unsustainable UAW health contacts and UAW other benefits.]
"...The management team, including its new CEO Fritz Henderson, its interim Chairman Kent Kresa, and all of their colleagues, has, have worked, has worked tirelessly to produce a plan that meets the strict standards I laid out in the beginning to streamline G.M.'s brands, clean up G.M.'s balance sheet, to make it possible for G.M. to compete and succeed...." [So, Barack Obama does not want to run G.M., yet, for example, Barack Obama told his chosen management team to streamline the number of brands. What does Barack Obama know about brands and marketing? And Barack Obama picked the management team.]
"...What we're not doing, what I have no interest in doing is running G.M. G.M. will be run by a private board of directors and management team with a track record in American manufacturing that reflects a commitment to innovation and quality. They and not the government will call the shots and make the decisions about how to turn this company around. The federal government will refrain from exercising its rights as a shareholder in all but the most fundamental corporate decisions. When a difficult decision has to be made on matters like where to open a new plant or what type of new car to make, the new G.M.--not the United States government--will make that decision...." [This statement is crap of the first degree. Barack Obama set up the management! One of the most important decisions that could be made is where to put a factory or plant, so Barack Obama lied.]
"...But for years, G.M. has been buried under an unsustainable mountain of debt, and piling an irresponsibly large debt on top of the new G.M. would mean simply repeating the mistakes of the past...." [Barack Obama had nerve to say this, given that he has set up federal spending plans that will increase the debt of the country by many trillion of dollars over the next decade, which is bad for the country).
[If you study the quotations will will notice many things. I hope you notice that Barack Obama is pushing "protectionism," which, in this case, is the idea of not allowing vehicles made by General Motors-like entities overseas to send their vehicles to the United States of America, and that will hurt automobile workers and other persons in other countries and that will depress the economies of other countries. You should notice, of course, the "socialism" aspect is the idea that the federal government now owns what was a completely private-industry entity, and, yes, that is socialism crap. And you should notice Barack Obama gave the UAW power--ownership--in a formerly private-industry entity, and the amount of ownership was not deserved, and, by the way, if you do research, you will find bond holders involved with General Motors before this date got shafted, as had bond holders who were involved in Chrysler Corporation.]
[See: "Monday, March 30, 2009:".]Monday, June 1, 2009 (in a Frence interview):
"...if you actually took the number of Muslim Americans, we'd be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world...."Thursday, June 4, 2009 (at Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt):
"...I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear. But that same principle must apply to Muslim perceptions of America. Just as, just as Muslims do not fit a crude stereotype, America is not the crude stereotype of a self-interested empire..." [I wonder: Does Barack Obama think of the United States of America as an "empire"?]
"...Given our interdependence, any world order that elevates one nation or group of people over another will enevitably fail...." [No "world order" has been set up by countries, and, certainly, no other nations put the United States of America is some slot of greatness in the world--the greatness of the United States of America came about through the many generations of free people in the United States of America and what the people did.]
"...We meet in a time of great tension between the United States and Muslims around the world, tension rooted in historical forces that go beyond any current policy debate. The relationship between Islam and the West includes centuries of coexistence and cooperation, but also conflict and religious wars. More recently, tension has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims and a Cold War in which Muslim majority countries were too often treated as proxies without regard to their own aspirations. More over, the sweeping change brought by modernity and globalization led many Muslims to view the West as hostile to the traditions of Islam...." [Who was involved in "colonialism" in Barack Obama's mind? Does Barack Obama think the United States of America is an "empire" that is running colonies, as, for instance, Spain and Engalnd once did?]
"...As a boy, I spent several years in Indonesia and heard the call of the azaan at the break of dawn and at the fall of dust. As a young man, I worked in Chicago communities where many found dignity and peace in their Muslim faith...." [When Barack Obama was a boy, he spent some years in Muslim schools, and I believe Barack Obama is a Muslim--and since Barack Obama is a "radical," under the rules of Saul Alinsky, Barack Obama could be a "radical Islam"-type.]
"...Now, let me also address the issue of Iraq. Unlike Afghanistan, Iraq was a war of choice that provoked strong differences my country and around the world. Although I believe that the Iraqi people are ultimately better off without the tyranny of Saddam Hussein, I also believe that events in Iraq have reminded America of the need to use diplomacy and build international consensus to resolve our problems whenever possible...." [Notice the "my" in this piece. Regularly, Barack Obama uses "I" and "my," instead of, for example, the United States of America or America, since Barack Obama seems to push himself first. I bet Barack Obama is a narcissist--I am convinced Barack Obama is a megalomaniac.]
"....Nine-eleven was an enormous trauma to our country. The fear and anger that it provoked was understandable, but in some cases, it led us to act contrary to our traditions and our ideals. We are taking concrete actions to change course. I have unequivocally prohibited the use torture by the United States. I have ordered the prison at Quantanamo Bay closed by early next year...." [Notice the "I," and notice how he is almost detached from the United States of America as if he controlled a number of countries, and he was telling the United States of America to stop.]
"...Six-million Jews were killed, more than the entire Jewish population of Israel today. Denying that fact is baseless, it is ignorant, and it is hateful. Threatening Israel with destruction or repeating vile stereotypes about Jews is deeply wrong and only serves to evoke in the minds of the Israelis this most painful of memories while preventing the peace that the people of the region deserve. On the other hand, it is also undeniable that the Palestinian people--Muslims and Christians--have suffered in the pursuit of a homeland. For more than sixty years, they've endured the pain of dislocation...." [Barack Obama is pushing for a "two-state solution" to the Middle East problem, which is a bad idea.]
"...As a student of history, I also know civilization's debt to Islam. It was Islam at places like al-Azhar that carried light of learning through so many centuries, paving the way for Europe's Renaissance and Enlightenment. It was innovation in Muslim communities that developed the order of algebra, our magnetic compass, and tools of navigation, our mastery of pens and printing, our understanding of how disease spreads and how it can be healed. Islamic culture has given us majestic arches and soaring spires, timeless poetry and cherished music, elegant calligraphy, and places of peaceful contemplation. And throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality...." [Much is wrong with this material. For example, in the early hundreds, the Chinese were working with block printing, and it was in Europe in the 1400s that Johann Gutenberg was working with movable type. In a lot of the Middle East, are not women treated as second-class citizens and do not some Muslim countries disallow music to be played?]Thursday, June 4, 2009 (an answer in interview with Tom Brokaw of NBC):
"...:Well, look, there's, there's no equivalancy here. But I do think that, ah, given the extraordinary moral traditions of Judasm, the potential, ah, power of empathy that arises out of having gone through such historic hardships, ah, that, that will ultimately give the people of Israel the strength and purpose, ah, to seek a just-and-lasting peace, and that I believe will involve creating two states side by side with peace and security...." [He was talking about Israel and the Palestinians. Tom Brokaw's question was roughly: What should the Israelis learn from your visit to Bukenwald (Germany) and what should they be thinking about with regards to their treatment of Palestinians? Israel has given up land in the recent past, and Palestinian leaders created nothing on it, such as a thriving school system, and have launched rocket attacks on Israel from the land! By the way, Tom Brokaw is one of the media "darlings" in my document entitled Never Forget These Media "Darlings" (?) -- A Guide for the Individual in the United States of America, which can be reached through this link: Media.]Saturday, June 6, 2009 (a radio address):
"...we can't continue this way. If we do nothing, everyone's health care will be put in jeopardy. Within a decade, we'll spend one dollar out of every five we earn on health care, and we'll keep getting less for our money, and that's why fixing what's wrong with our health-care system is no longer a luxury we hope to achieve, it's a necessity we cannot postpone any longer...." [Barack Obama made predictions and presented no facts about what the problems are, and through research, you will find the federal government is a big problem with the health-care system at this time, such as by running Medicare improperly, and what Barack Obama was trying to do was scare and panic the audience, and that is a sign of a bad president. If some proper fixes are made to the current health-care industry, which is not ia "monopolistic" form today, the "one dollar out of every five" is defective thought, and if a complete rebuilding of the health-care industry into what Barack Obama wants--a "monopolistic" entity--is created, the health-care industry in the country will be worse. By the way, to fix some type of big system, a smart man would do a test case first--a smart man would not completely replace a big system without tests, and it is already known the national-health-care systems in Canada and the United Kingdom are failing, and it is well known the health-care system in the United States of America is the best in the world, though it has some problems. Why replace the entire system, unless the goal is to destory the country? See my document entitled Madness in a President and Other Matters of a Defective Mind.]Monday, June 8, 2009:
"...On Friday, we learned that we had lost an additional 345,000, ah, jobs in the month of May. That was far less than was expected, ah, but it's still too many. We're still in the middle of a very deep recession that was years in the making, and it's gonna take, ah, a considerable amount of time...." [Enjoy the next few comments that I present.]
"...When we arrived here, we were confronting the most significant recession since the Great Depression...." [Barack Obama lied again about what was happening when he took office. The most significant recession was the recession of the early 1980s, which came about through the policies of U.S. President Jimmy Carter, a Democrat.]
"...and I signed the Recovery Act [the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009] into law, ah, just over a hundred days ago, ah, and we've done more than ever, faster than ever, more responsibly than ever to get the gears of the economy moving again...." [Barack Obama lied, and, by the way, in the previous week, Vice President Joe Biden had said, "...We know some of this money will be wasted...."]
"...saved, as you said Joe, at least 150,000 jobs...." [Barack Obama lied again. Notice the 345,000 jobs that were lost in May 2009. How can Barack Obama report 150,000 jobs were saved? Where is the research that shows 150,000 jobs were saved? What does Barack Obama mean? By the way, on this date, the unemployment rate was about 9.4%. The total number of jobs lost in March 2009 was 742,000; the total number of jobs lost in April 2009 was 545,000.]
"...Now we're in a position to really accelerate. So, the goal here is that we're gonna create or save six-hundred thousand jobs of the next one-hundred days, keeping teachers in the classroom, cops on the streets, providing summer jobs for youth that are particularly hard hit in this job market, breaking ground on hundreds of new projects all across the country in clean energy, transportation, and so on, and we're gonna do it continuing ta, ah, operate in a, ah, transparant fashion so that taxpayers know this money is not being wasted on a bunch of boondoggles. Ah, and, and I think that sometimes good news comes in what you don't heard about, and you haven't heard, ah, a bunch of scandals--knock on, knock on wood, so far...." [Barack Obama said that now he can really get going to create or save 600,000 jobs of the next one-hundred days!]Thursday, June 11, 2009 (in Green Bay, Wisconsin, at a "Town Hall Meeting" about health care):
"...The more we are incentizing high quality primary care, prevention, wellness, management of chronic illnesses, and one of the things it turns out is that about twenty percent of the patients account for eighty percent of the care and the cost of the health-care system, and if we can get somebody first of all who is overweight to lose weight so that they don't become diabetic, we save tons of money...." [Okay! Remember: This document up to this point has shown example after example after example of how Barack Obama lies regularly, so now you should be aware Barack Obama can not be trusted or believed. Besides being a liar, Barack Obama has other problems, such as a dislike for the country and The U.S. Constitution, and I show through other documents at the Web site for The Hologlobe Press, such as Madness in a President and Other Matters of a Defective Mind, those problems. Now, study the text on his quotation, and then go on to the next paragraphs.]
"...If you like your health-care plan, you'll be able to keep your health-care plan. And don't let people scare you--if you like what you've got, we're not going to make you change, but in order to preserve what's best about our health-care system, we have to fix what doesn't work. And we've reached the point where doing nothing about the cost of health care is no longer an option. The status quo is unsustainable. If we don't act and act soon to bring down costs, it will jeopardize everybody's health care...." [How can you keep your health-care plan in the future, if the federal government pushes you to also buy into the federal system, which, at this point, appears very likely? How can you keep your health-care plan in the future, if the plan goes out of business, having tried to compete with a government-run system that can offer anything and everything (at first) so that people will stop buying private-sector-offered health-care insurance? Barack Obama does not want you to listen to people who have heard some of the features of the proposed system, which are bad proposals, and to people who have been showing the government-controlled health-care systems in Canada and the United Kingdom are failing, and the proposed U.S. system is being designed like the system in the United Kingdom. Barack Obama is pushing fear! Have you heard any public discussion about what is not working with the health-care system in the country, which is the best health-care system in the world? Republicans in the U.S. Congress have not been involved in putting the proposed system together--they surely were not involved in setting up initial parts for a system, which appear in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which was pushed through the U.S. Congress quickly, giving no politician in the U.S. Congress chance to read it before having to vote on it. Have you noticed in previous statements shown in this document how Barack Obama does not like the "status quo" of anything about the country and how everything has to be done quickly (or the world will end)?]
"...I also strongly believe that one of the options in the exchange should be a public insurance option. Now, and the reason is not because we want government take over of health care. I've already said it! You've got a private plan that works for you, that's great! But we want some competition. If the private insurance companies have to compete with a public option, it'll keep 'em honest, and it'll keep, help keep their prices down...." [Barack Obama is a liar and is lying when he says that he does not want the government to take control, since he has already taken control of some big banks and two big car companies. What is his nonsense about competition? There is competition! There are many, many doctors competing for patients, and there are many, many hospitals competing for patients, and there are many, many insurance companies competing for patients. (Have you not seen all the advertisements for hospitals and insurance plans over the years?) Insurance companies are kept honest, being regulated by laws, such as by state laws, and, for instance, in Michigan, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Michigan is regulated as to what it can charge for premiums, and state governments have make set laws that set minimum limits on what must be covered.]
"...There are some folks who say--'Socialized medicine.' You hear that all the time--'Socialized medicine.' Well, socialized medicine would mean that the government would basically run all of health care. They would, you know, hire the doctors, run the hospitals--they just run the whole thing. Ah, Great Britain has a system of socialized medicine. Nobody's talking about doing that. All right? So, when you're hearing people saying 'socialized medicine,' understand I don't know anybody in Washington who is proposing that--certainly not me...." [The government does not have to hire doctors and run hospitals to control the medical industry in the country--the government only needs to set down laws that make doctors and hospitals do such and such. Barack Obama really lied when he says that he does not know anyone proposing a socialized system, since the proposed system, which is a Former U.S. Senator Tom Daschle (a Democrat) project, is a socialize system.]
"...Now, how this debate is gonna evolve over the next eight weeks--I'm very open-minded, and if people can show me here's a good idea and here's how we can get it done, and it's not something that I've thought of, ah, I'm happy to steal people's ideas. You now, I, I, I'm not, I'm not ideologically driven one way or another about it...." [Notice the eight-week deadline. Why is there a dire deadline? And, yes, Barack Obama would probably be happy stealing the ideas of others, since Barack Obama has already done stealing while being the U.S. President, such as by stealing bond holders' equity in and potential control of Chrysler and General Motors.]
"...This next eight weeks is going to be critical, though, and you need to be really paying attention and putting pressure on our members of Congress to say there's no excuses--if we don't get it done this year, we're probably not going to get it done...." [Why is it "critical"? It is not "critical." Why would a bill for a national-health-care system not get passed later? Barack Obama can simply work to push another national-health-care-system bill through the U.S. Congress later--maybe next week or next month (Barack Obama will be in office another three years and a half or so). Barack Obama's speech is all a scare tactic and a fear campaign! Ask yourself: Should there not be public discussion about a national-health-care system and no rush to put a system in place?]
"...Government can't do all of this. I'm the first one to acknowledge this. That's why I'm always puzzled when people...they're, they go out there creating this bogeyman about how Obama wants government-run everything. I don't want government to run stuff! I, like I said, I've got enough stuff to do. I've got North Korea, and I've got Iran, and I've got Afghanistan and Iraq, and I, I, I don't know where people get this idea that I want, I want to run stuff, or I want government to run stuff...." [Study this piece of text, and notice the lies, and notice how he wants you to think--Yes, He is busy, so how can he take on the work of running a system? Remember: Barack Obama is not going to be the person who runs the system--government officials will run the system.]On Friday, June 12, 2009 (Barack Obama commented on election in Iran):
"...Ah, we are excited to see, ah, what appears to be a robust debate taking place in Iran, and, obviously, after the speech, ah, that I made in Cairo, we tried to send a clear message that, ah, we think there is the possibility of change, ah, and, you know, ultimately, the election is for the Iranians to decide, ah, but, just, as, as been true in Lebanon, what's, ah, can be true in Iran as well is that you're seeing, ah, people looking at new, ah, possibilities, and, ah, whoever ends up winning, ah, the election in Iran, the fact that there's been a robust debate hopefully will help, ah, advance, ah, our ability to engage them in new ways...." [What is this mess? We can see Barack Obama noted that he thinks his speech was important to the election process in Iran; an election of a president-like person was taking place on this day. Actually, Iran is ruled by a group of religious leaders and not a president-type person who is supposedly elected. By the way, over the next several days at least, Iranians would protest in the streets over the election, which people believed was a sham, and some protesters would be hurt or killed by military persons.]On Monday, June 15, 2009 (Barack Obama spoke to doctors in Chicago, Illlinois):
"...Public option is not your enemy, it is your friend--I believe. Let me also say that, I, let me, ah, also address a illegitimate concern that's being put foward by those who are claiming that a public option is somehow a Trojan horse for a single-payer system. Now, I'll be honest! There are countries were a single-payer system works pretty well...." [First, there is no country where a single-payer system--a government-run system--works well! Second, do not let yourself become to believing the government, especially under liar Barack Obama, is "your friend." Third, worry when Barack Obama says, "I'll be honest." Fourth, notice the stumbling in his speech pattern.]
"...So, when you hear the naysayers claim that I'm trying to bring about goverment-run health care, know this--They're not telling the truth...." [Barack Obama lied again! Barack Obama is trying to set up a government-run health-care system. You should see Barack Obama gave no facts about the opposition, but Barack Obama was trying to scare his listeners about the opposition.]
"...Our largest companies are suffering as well. A big part of what led General Motors and Chrysler into trouble in recent decades was the huge costs they racked up providing health care for their workers--costs that made them less profitable and less competitive with auto makers around the world. If we do not fix our health-care system, America may go the way of GM--paying more, getting less, and going broke...." [Again, Barack Obama used scare tactics, as he does with everything, as if the world will end tomorrow, which it will not.]
"......When it comes to the cost of our health care, the status quo is unsustainable. To reform is not a luxury, it is a necessity. And when I hear people say 'Well, why are you taking this on right now, you've got all these other problems?' I keep on reminding people, 'I'd love to be able to defer these issuses, but we can't.' I know there's been much discussion about what reform would cost, and rightly so. This is a test, whether we--Democrats and Republicans alike--are serious about holding the line on new spending and restoring fiscal disipline. But let there be no doubt, the cost of inaction is greater. If we fail to act, premiums will climb higher, benefits will erode further, the rolls of the uninsured will swell to include milliions more Americas, all of which will affect your practice. If we fail to act, one out of every five dollars we earn will be spent on health care within a decade, and in thirty years, it will be about one of every three, a trend that will mean lost jobs, lower take-home pay, shuttered businesses, and a lower standard of living for all Americans...." [Barack Obama used this text to spread fear, and since Barack Obama has shown himself to be a perpetual liar, all his facts, which are few, are suspect. Remember: Barack Obama has already added more than ten-trillions dollars to the national debt over the next then years, and that is bad--Barack Obama is the big spender, spending money that country does not have.]
"...But while significant individual reforms have been made--such as Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children's Health Insurance Program--efforts at comprehensive reform that covers everyone and brings down costs have largely failed. A part of the reason is because the different groups involved--doctors, insurance companies, businesses, workers, and others--simply couldn't agree on the need for reform or what shape it would take. And if we're honest, another part of the reason has been the fierce opposition, fueled by some interest groups and lobbyists, opposition that has used fear tactics to paint any effort to achieve reforms as an attempt to--yes--socialize medicine...." [Barack Obama is making the people who have showing the true facts to be liars, but, remember, Barack Obama is a liar so his statement is defective. By the way, little debate has been done before the public about a national-health-care system, and, in fact, it is the Democrats in the U.S. Congress that are controlling the creation of a national-health-care system. Notice Barack Obama's use of "honest" in this piece of text.]
"...We know the moment is right for health-care reform. We know this is a historic opportunity we've never seen before and may not see again...." [Wrong! For one, the moment is not right, because Barack Obama, who is a radical and a communist and a Marxist, is not the man that you want to set up your health-care system.]
"...But we also know that there are those who will try and scuttle this opportunity no matter what, who will use the same scare tactics and fear mongering that has worked in the past, who will give warnings about socialized medicine and government takeovers, long lines and rationed care, decisions made by bureaucrats and not doctors--we have heard this all before. And because these fear tactics have worked, things have kept getting worse...." [Has fear mongering or the truth worked in the past?]On Tuesday, June 16, 2009 (a statement about Iran's election):
"...You have seen some initital reaction from the supreme leader that, ah, indicates that he understands the Iranian people have deep concerns about the election. Now, it's not productive, given the history of U.S.-Iranian relations, ta been seen as meddling--the U.S. President---meddling in Iranian elections. What I will repeat and what I said yesterday is that when I see violence directed at peaceful protesters, when I see peaceful descent being surpressed, wherever that takes place--it is of concern to me, and it's a concern to the American people...." [This statement was about the best that Barack Obama could muster up in relation to the protests over the election in Iran, and what was evident over the week was Barack Obama made no statement that really supported the protesters or what could be a potential revolution going on in Iran, where, by the way, many citizens are pro-U.S.A.]On Tuesday, June 16, 2009 (an interview):
"...Well, this is something that keeps me awake at night. There's no doubt that we've got a serious problem in terms of our long-term deficits and debt. I make no apologies for having acted short-term to deal with our recession. I think the vast majority of economists--conservative and liberal--felt that extraordinary interventions were necessary to prevent us from slipping into a potentionally deep depression. But as soon as this economy recovers and that means planning now and starting ta take some steps now to deal with it, we're gonna have to close that gap between the amount of money coming in and the amount of money going out...." [John Harwood of The New York Times wondered about Barack Obama's having to curb benefits for entitlement programs, using means testing, raising the retirement age, et cetera.]
"Yes!" [Barack Obama answered the interviewer if unemployment was going to get to ten percent this year.] "Yes! Ah, I think that what you've seen is that the pace of job loss has slowed, and I think that the economy is going to turn around, but, as you know, jobs are a lagging indicator. Ah, and we've got to produce a hundred-and-fifty-thousand jobs every month just to keep pace, just ta flatten this out." [The interviewer wondered when the economy will start to come back.] "You're starting to see the engines of the economy turn, it's gonna take a long time...."On Wednesday, June 17, 2009 (Barack Obama talked about proposed financial laws):
"....It is an indisputal fact that one of the most significant contributors to our economic downturn was a unraveling of major financial institutions and lack of adaquate regulatory structures to prevent abuse and excess. A culture of irresponsibility took root from Wall Street to Washington to Main Street....." [Wrong! There has always been a lot of regulation on the financial industry, done through, for one, "federal acts," and you should see my document entitled THOUGHTS AND PIECES OF LOGIC for the individual woman and the individual man, which shows the main cause of the economic collapse.]
"...In recent years, financial innovators, seeking an edge in the marketplace, produced a huge of new and complex financial instruments. And these products, such as asset-based securities, were designed to spread risk, but unfortunately ended up concentrating risk. Loans were sold banks, banks packaged these loans into securities, investors bought these securities--often with little insight into the risks to which they were exposed. And it was easy money while it lasted. But these schemes were built on a pile of sand...." [Here is more crap from Barack Obama. The federal government pushed banks and mortgage-loan companies into giving out subprime loans, and the loans were then packaged into investment vehicles--because something had to be done with them, since that is the way of the mortgage-loan business. See my document entitled THOUGHTS AND PIECES OF LOGIC for the individual woman and the individual man.]
"...Meanwhile, executives compenstation--unmoored from long-term performance or even reality--rewarded recklessness rather than responsibility. And this wasn't just the failure of individuals--this was a faillure of the entire system...." [All this text is is Barack Obama'a attack on people making money--Barack Obama does not like people making money, especially, it seems, if it is more than he is making.]
"...We did no choose how this crisis began, but we to have a choice in the legacy this crisis leaves behind. So, today, my administration is proposing a sweeping overhaul of the financial regulatory system--the transformation on a scale not seen since the reforms that followed the Great Depression...." [Barack Obama is trying to take over more financial institutions!]
"...I've always been a strong believer in the power of the free market. It has been and will remain the engine of America's progress, the source of prosperity that's unrivaled in history. I believe that jobs are best created not by government but by businesses and entrepreneurs who are willing to take a risk on a good idea...." [There is no evidence that Barack Obama is a strong believer in the power of the free market.]
"....I believe that our role is not to desparage wealth but to expand its reach, not to stifle the market but to strenghten its ability to unleash the creativity and innovation that still makes this nation the envy of the world...." [To Barack Obama, saying this statement must have gagged him.]
"....We're proposing a new and powerful agency charged with one, just one job--looking out for ordinary consumers...." [Barack Obama has such compassion and empathy for the "little guy." Do not believe it, since he has put people, such as workers at auto makers and auto dealers, out of work.]
"...And this is essential, for this crisis was not just the result of decisions made by the mightist of financial firms, it was also the result of decisions made by ordinary Americans to open credit cards, take out home loans, take on other financial obligations. We know there were many who took out loans they knew they couldn't afford, but there were also millions of Americans who signed contracts that they didn't always understand offered by lenders who didn't always tell the truth...." [Such garbage this statement is. For one, a person is supposed to understand a contact, such as by getting help to understand it from a lawyer, before signing the contract. And to Barack Obama, of course, it is always the mortgage-loan people who are the bad guys. History shows Barack Obama hates business people.]On Tuesday, June 23, 2009 (a press conference):
"...Well, why would it drive private insurance out of business? If...if private insurers say that the marketplace provides the best quality heah, health care, if they tell us there're offering a good deal, then why is it that the government, which they say can't run anything, suddenly is gonna drive them out of business. That's not logical!" [This was the answer to a reporter who wondered if a national-health-care system would drive private insurance out of business, and such idiot thought Barack Obama gave, as he stumbled through the presentation of the thought. How can private insurers compete with an entity--the federal government--that can (at least a first) offer the same care for less money, not caring how much is spent, which is money that will increase the national debt, and the federal government's offer will cause people to leave private-insurance coverage or will cause employers--not able to compete wth the federal government--to drop coverage for employees? Barack Obama lied!]
"...There's no doubt that we must preserve what's best about our health-care system, and that means allowing Americans who like their doctor and their health-care plans to keep them. But unless we fix what's broken in our current system, everyone's health care will be in jeopardy. Unless we act, premiums will climb higher, benefits will erode further, and the rolls of the uninsure will swell to include millions more Americans. Unless we act, one out of every five dollars that we earn will be spent on health care within a decade...."
"...And the amount our government spends on Medicare and Medicaid will eventually will grow larger than what our government spends on everything else today. When it comes to health care, the status quo is un, unsustainable and unexceptable, so reform's not a luxury--it's a necessity...."
"...I don't think that's accurate. Ah, it, it. Track what I've been saying. Right after the election, I said that we had profound concerns about the nature of the election but that it was not up to us to determine, ah, what the outcome was. As soon as violence broke out--in fact, in anticipation of potential violence--we were very clear in saying that violence was unexceptable, that that was not how governments operate...." [Major Garrett of Fox News wondered why it took Barack Obama so long to speak out about Iran, which on June 12, 2009, held a national election, which was quickly followed by citizens holding protests and was followed by the beating of protesters and the killing of some protesters by government officials.]
"...As I said in Cairo, suppressing ideas never succeeds in making them go away. The Iranian people have a universal right to assembly and free speech. If the Iranian government seeks the respect of the international community, it must respect those rights and heed the will of its own people. It must govern through consent and not coersion. That's what Iran's own people are calling for, and the Iranian people will ultimately judge the actions of their own government...."
"...The United States and the international community have been appalled and outraged by the threats, the beatings, and imprisonments of the last few days. I strongly condemn these unjust actions, and I join with the American people in mourning each and every innocent life that is lost. I've made it clear that the United States respects the soverntry of the Islamic Republic of Iran and is not interfering with Iran's affairs, but we must also bare witness to the courage and the dignity of the Iranian people into a remarkable opening within Iranian society, and we deplore the violence against innocent civillians anywhere that it takes place. The Iranian people are trying to have a debate about their future ...." [Notice how Barack Obama called the protests a "debate," which is a term that does not apply to what is going on.]
[Now carefully study the next four paragraphs that end this section, which are related to things that U.S. President Ronald Reagan said in December 1981 during a time when the Polish government was attacking its people, not unlike what the Iranian government is going to its people. On December 23, 1981, U.S. President Ronald Reagan made an appearance before the American public and the world to talk about the revolt in Poland, which has a commmunist government:
"...As I speak to you tonight, the fate of a proud and ancient nation hangs in the balance. For a thousand years, Christmas has been celebrated in Poland, a land of deep religious faith, but this Christmas brings little joy to the courageous Polish people. They have been betrayed by their own government. The men who rule them and their totalitarian allies fear the very freedom that the Polish people cherish. They have answered the stirrings of liberty with brute force, killings, mass arrests, and the setting up on concentration camps. Lech Walesa and other Solidarity leaders are imprisoned, their fate unknown. Factories, mines, universities, and homes have been assaulted. The Polish govenment has trampled underfoot solid committments to the U.N. charter and the Helsinki accords. It has even broken the Gdansk agreement of August 1980, by which the Polish government recognized the basic right of its people to form free trade unions and to strike...."
"...I urge the Polish government and its allies to consider the consequences of their actions. How can they possibly justify using naked force to crush a people who ask for nothing more than the right to lead their own lives in freedom and dignity. Brute force may intimidate, but it cannot form the basis of an enduring society, and the ailing Polish economy cannot be rebuilt with terror tactics...."
"...I want emphatically to state tonight that, if the outrages in Poland do not cease, we cannot and will not conduct business as usual with the perputrators and those who aid and abet them. Make no mistake, their crime will cost them dearly in their future dealings with America and free peoples everywhere. I do not make this statement lightly or without serious reflection. We have been measured and deliberate in our reaction to the tragic events in Poland...."]Wednesday, June 24, 2009 (from a prime-time television special on ABC-TV):
"...And we're not gonna solve every difficult problem in terms [of] end-of-life care. A lot of that is gonna have to be we as a culture and a society starting to make better decisions within our own families and, and, ah, for ourselves, but what we can do is make sure that at least some the waste that exists in the system that's not making anybody's mom better, ah, that is loading up on additional tests or additional drugs, that the evidence shows is not necessarily gonna improve care, that at least we can let doctors know and your mom know that--you know what?--maybe this isn't gonna help. Maybe, you're better off, ah, not having the surgery but taking the pain killer...." [Before I give you the general theme of the question, I have to make comments. Barack Obama showed what a nitwit he is, and Barack Obama showed what a cold mind for other people that he has. Read over this statement several times, and notice the nonsense that is in his mind. Now, I note that the question came from a woman who noted that five years ago, her mom, who was about one-hundred years of age, got a pacemaker, having been told not to get one by one doctor but having been told to get one by another doctor, and one reason it was said that the woman (the mom) could get one is the woman was doing well with everyday life, and the woman (the mom) is still alive today. The questioner wonder whether there would simply be a cutoff feature in relation to diseases and age (where a chart might say that no work will be done or no medicine will be provided no matter how good a patient's living ability is) or there would be a human determination about each patient (focusing on the overall health of the patient). Oh, what was Barack Obama's nonsense about not having surgery but having a pain killer? A pain killer cannot do what a pacemaker can do.]
"...And you're absolutely right that, if it's my family member, if it's my wife, ah, it's my children, if it's my grandmother, I always want them to get the very best care. But here's the problem that we have in our current health-care system is that, there is a whole bunch of care that's being provided that every study, that every bit of evidence that we have indicates may not be making us healthier...." (Generally speaking, the question related to this statement was about whether, if there was a national-health-care system, if your family were to participate in it, if a family member was ill and things were not going well, and if there was a procedure not covered by the plan, would he (Barack Obama) go out of the plan or would he accept only what was available through the plan. Notice how Barack Obama did not answer the question, and notice how Barack Obama went on to another topic.][Let me put in this special section, and it contains dialoque from the "infomercial" that was shown on ABC-TV about health care on Wednesday, June 24, 2009:
Diane Sawyer: "I can reverse the order a little bit, Mr. President. I'd like to ask a question of him (a man associated with Aenta, an insurance company) and then let you comment on his answer. Mr. Williams, Aetna,...an insurance company we hear all over the country, people see their premiums going up 119% in the last several years, they see the profits of the insurance companies, and the billions and billions of dollars, even in the lean year, they see profits in the billions of dollars. Is the President right, you need to be kept honest?"
Ron Williams (CEO of Aetna): "It's difficult to compete against a player who's also the person who's refereeing the game. And so I think in the context of thinking about a, a government plan--what we say is let's identify the problem we're trying to solve, let's work collaboratively with physicans, hospitals, and other health-care professionals, and make certain that we solve the problem, as opposed to introduce a new competitor who has the rule-making ability the government would have."
Barack Obama: "First of all, I want to say that, ah, Mr. Walters has been very cooperative. We've been having a series of conversations and I appreciate the constructive, ah, manner in which we've been, ah, ah, trying to work together. But I just want to make clear that, ah, the government, whatever rules it provides to insurers, a public plan would have to abide by the same rules, so we're not talking about unle, unequal playing field, we're talking about a level playing field...."
[Garbage--this we did not get from Ron Williams. Such garbage we did get from Barack Obama. It is not a level playing field with the federal government offering a plan, since, for one, the federal government can lose all the money it wants (since the money comes from taxpayers or paper can be printed), while companies cannot stay in business if they lose money. Insurance companies are already regulated by the federal goverment and state governments!]On Tuesday, June 30 2009:
"...Those who have tried to pull Iraq into the abyss of disunion and civil war are on the wrong side of history. Finally, the very fact that Iraqis are celebrating this day is a testament to the courage, the capability, and commitment of every single American who has served in Iraq...." [Here is a comment made by Barack Obama on February 10, 2007: "...It's time to admit that no amount of American lives can resolve the political disagreement that lies at the heart of someone else's civil war. That's why I have a plan that will bring our combat troops home by March of 2008. Let the Iraqis know, letting the Iraqis know that we will not be forever is our last best hope to pressure the Sunni and Shia to come to the table and find peace...."]On Tuesday, July 7, 2009:
"...Make no mistake, this change did not come from any one nation. The Cold War reached a conclusion because of the actions of many nations over many years and because the people of ussia and Eastern Europe stood up and decided that its end would be peace...." [Barack Obama spoke to graduating students at the New Economic School, Moscow, Russia. This statement shows even more hate for the United States of America, because he cannot bring himself to note how instrumental the United States of America was in bringing down the Soviet Union in the 1980s, and notice he could not give credit to U.S. President Ronald Reagan or any other previous presidents of the country. Barack Obama has a head fill with crap and hate.]On Friday, July 17, 2009:
"...Those who are betting against this happening this year are mistaken. We are going to get this done. We will reform health care. It will happen this year. I am absolutely convinced of that. I believe that members of Congress are prepared to work as hard as it is gonna take to make this happen...." [Barack Obama is talking about what I know to be on this date as the bad health-care bill in the U.S. Congress, which, for one, will give health care to illegal aliens. Think about that! What is the upper limit for the number of illegal aliens that can suck money out of the country by getting free health care? The free health care could cover all the people outside of the United States of America who come to the United States of America---millions and millions. You should see Barack Obama is purposely trying to kill the country!]
"...This consensus has brought us closer to the goal of health-insurance reform than ever before. Now, we got to get over the finish line, and part of this process is figuring out how to pay for it...." [The country is in a recession, and the health-care industry is not totally broken, but Barack Obama wants to change the health-care industry completely, and that is a very bad idea.]
"....We cannot add to our deficit over the next decade, and I mean it!...." [Do you believe Barack Obama's statement?]
[Note: You should see my document entitled National Health Care and Mass Failure: The Reasons it is a Dead Issue, which has information that shows the health-care proposal as it is on this date will save no money and which can be reached by using this link: Health.]On Monday, July 20, 2009 (at the Children's National Medical Center):
"...Just the other day, one Republican Senator said--and I'm quoting him now--'If we're able to stop Obama on this, it will be his Waterloo, it will break him.' Think about that! This isn't about me. This isn't about politics. It's about a health-care system that is breaking America's families, breaking America's businesses, and breaking America's economy. And we can't afford the politics of delay and defeat when it comes to health care--not this time, not now...." [This statement was in response to a statement that had been recently made by U.S. Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina. and the U.S. Senator's statement had been: "...If we're able to stop Obama on this, it will be his Waterloo, it will break him, and we will show that we can--along with the American people--begin to push those freedom solutions that work in every area of our society...." Jim DeMint is one of the partriots of the country who is fighting against the liar known as Barack Obama.]Tuesday, July 21, 2009 (talking at a left-wing blogger event):
"...You know, I, I have to say that I am not familiar with the provision you're talking about...." [Barack Obama answered this question: "...opinion piece from Investor's Business Daily, ah, where they're saying that, ah, HR-3200 will make individual private medical insurance illegal and they actually quote from Section 102 of the bill, which is grandfathering, ah, existing policies. Is this true--Will, will people be able to keep their insurance and will insurers be able to, hum, write new policies even though, ah, HR-3200 is passed?" Note: The question was about private health insurance companies being destroyed by the proposed health-care legislation. For weeks, Barack Obama had been pushing the health-care bill on the public, and, here, you can see he does not know what is in the bill. In addition, Barack Obama has been pushing people in the U.S. Congress to pass the health-care bill quickly, quickly, quickly, or the country is doomed. You should see Barack Obama is pushing to push whatever the bill is into law--there is no real care in his mind about what the bill will do. Note: I think Barack Obama only wants the bill to ultimately hurt the health-care industry in the country and hurt people, since I believe Barack Obama likes to hurt people, as I can show, for example, by the way Barack Obama hurt bond holders related to the bankruptcy of Chrysler (Barack Obama used coercion and intimidation to make them take less than they should have gotten through the bankruptcy mess), sided with the bad Iranian government over the protesting Iranian citizens, and cared not about the stock market going down, all of which were events of the first half of 2009.]Wednesday, July 22, 2009 (at yet another press conference):
"...But I think it's fair to say, number one, any one of us would be pretty angry. Number two, the Cambridge Police, ah, acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home. And, number three, what I think we know separate and apart from the incident is that there is a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos, ah, being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately...." [On this day, Barack Obama was asked eleven questions by reporters, and the final question came from a reporter associated with the Chicago Sun Times, and the question focused on a police incident involving the Cambridge Police Department (Massachusetts) and a friend of Barack Obama's, Henry Gates, who was a professor at Harvard University. By the way, Barack Obama is often aware ahead of time what the questions will be, and he can choose what questions that he would like to answer. The answer by Barack Obama, as shown within the quotation marks above, makes up the third big incident that shows that Barack Obama is a racist, a hater of whites in the United States of America; the first main publicly known incident is his being a part of Racist Reverend Jeremiah Wright's church for about twenty years, and the second incident is Barack Obama's recommending Sonia Sotomayer, a racist, as a candidate for judge on the U.S. Supreme Court. I say that, if Barack Obama was a good man, he would not have touched the question, since the question was about a local police event--something that should not be any concern of a President of the United States of America. But, of course, the event involved a close friend of Barack Obama's, Henry Gates, who works at Harvard University, where Barack Obama spent some time. Oh, Barack Obama commented on the event, even though he knew little about the event, as he noted by saying: "...not having been there and not seeing all the facts...." Keep in mind: Barack Obama is a "race baiter," a person who purposely tries to stir up trouble between the races.]On Tuesday, August 11, 2009:
"...This is another example of how, ah, the media ends up just completely distorting what taken place. What we've said is that, if somebody has, if you get an e-mail from somebody that says, for example, 'Obama care is creating a death panel.' Foward us the e-mail, and we will answer the question that's raised in the e-mail. Suddenly, on some of these news outlets, this is being portrayed as 'Obama's collecting an enemies list!'" (There is laughter from the audience.) "Now, come on, guys!" [This document shows that Barack Obama is a liar, and this document and other documents at the Web site for The Hologlobe Press show that Barack Obama is a dangerous man and a ill man, and Barack Obama is a man who seems to enjoy hurting people. I say that, "Yes, Barack Obama is starting to collect an 'ememies list.' Always expect the worst from Barack Obama."]On Saturday, August 15, 2009:
"...It is true that there are certain costs associated with a private business that a government would not have to worry about. You mentioned a couple of them. It's conceivable that a private entity that's having to pay a certain interest rate for their money would be really undermined if the government is able to get money much cheaper implicitly because Uncle Sam backs this operation. I think there are ways that we can address those competitive issues. And you're absolutely right if they're not entirely addressed then that raises a set of legitimate problems...." [Barack Obama answered a question of a student, who wondered how a private insurance corporation compete with entity (a government entity) that does not have to worry about making a profit, does not have to pay local property taxes, and is not subject to local regulations. It is clear that a government health-care system would lead to the death of the private health-care system, since a government health-care system can undermine a private health-care system. Study Barack Obama's statement again.]
"...The notion that somehow just by having a public option you have the entire private marketplace destroyed is just not born out by the facts. And, in fact, right now, you got a lot of private companies who do very well competing against government. UPS and FedEx are doin' a lot better than the Post Office...." [Barack Obama noted through this statement that private companies can do better the government entities an, though he is trying to sell to the public a national health-care system--in this day and age when Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security are, in essence, bankrupt and are associated with at least 50-trillion dollars in unfunded obligations.]On Monday, September 7, 2009 (a Labor Day Picnic with AFL-CIO people):
"...I notice some people have already forgotten how bad it was just seven months ago. You notice that? They've got sort of selective amnesia. So let's just remind them for a second--a financial system on the verge of collapse, about seven-hundred-thousand workers losing their jobs each month, the worst recession of our lifetimes, threatening to become another Great Depression. That's what was happening just seven months ago! That's why we took bold swift action. That's why we passed an unprecedented Recovery Act. And we did it without the usual Washington earmarks and pork-barrel spending. And, Ohio, it is working...." [Barack Obama lied even more; for example, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was filled with earmarks and pork-barrel spending!]
"...Now, on Friday, we learned that the economy lost another 216,000 jobs in August. And whenever Americans are losin' jobs, that's simply unexceptable. But for the second straight month, we lost fewer jobs than the month before and the fewest jobs that we have lost in a year. So, make no mistake, we're movin' in the right direction. We're on the road to recovery...." [Such foolishness Barack Obama spouted.]
"...And because we're so close to real reform, suddenly the special interests are doing what they always do, which is just try to scare the heck out of people. Now, I've got, I've, I've got a question for all these folks who say we're goin' to pull the plug on grandma, it's all about illegal immigrants...." [The topic of this statement was health care, and the American public has been rising up against the health-care features known in the health-care bill of the U.S. House of Representatives, such as at "town hall" meetings, and the American public is the "special interests" to whom he must have been referring.]On Wednesday, September 9, 2009 (on Good Morning America):
"...I, out of an effort to give Congress the ability to do their thing and not, ah, step, ah, step on their toes, ah, probably left to much ambiguity out there, which allowed then opponents of reform to come in and to fill up the air waves with a lot of nonsense--everything from this ridiculous idea that we were setting up 'death panels' to false notions that, ah, this was designed to provide health insurance ta illegal immigrants. And then this broader notion of, of government take over of health care, which none of the bills that worked their way through Congress ever envisioned...." [This statement was made to Robin Roberts of Good Morning America during an interview. Barack Obama lied again and again. For example, the health-care bill of the U.S. House of Representatives of the time, which was known as "HR 3200," did have a feature that provided health care to illegal aliens, but notice how he said "health insurance" in his statement. The American public was able to read HR 3200, and the American public did see bad features, some of which showed "death panels" would be created, though the panels would not officially be called "death panels." You should see the "Sarah Palin" segment of my document entitled Patriots of the U.S.A. and the Counter-Counter Revolution. Oh, a government health-care law of any type like that of HR 3200 would result in government-run health care.]On Wednesday, September 9, 2009 (a prime-time address to the U.S. Congress):
"...Until those businesses that seek capital and credit can thrive, until all responsible homeowners can stay in their homes, that is our ultimate goal. But thanks to the bold and decisive action we've taken since January, I can stand here with confidence and say that we have pulled this economy back from the brink...." [On this day, in the evening, Barack Obama spoke to a joint session of the U.S. Congress, and his main topic was health care, and much of the speech had lies. For example, the economy is not back from the brink, given the unemployment rate is at at least 9.7 percent, and it is really about 16.8 percent, if all the facts about workers or potential workers are taken into account.]
"...It has been nearly a century since Theodore Roosevelt first called for health-care reform, and ever since nearly every president and Congress whether Democrat or Republican has attempted to meet this challenge in some way. A bill for comprehensive health reform was first introduced by John Dingell, Sr., in 1943. Sixty-five years later, his son continues to introduce that same bill at the beginning of each sessions." There was clapping, and John Dingell, Jr., stood up. "Our collective failure to meet this challenge year after year, decade after decade, has led us to the breaking point...." [So, though this statement, people learned that John Dingell, Jr., has been pushing the same nonsense for decades, and people saw that Barack Obama used the well-worn word used by communists--"collective." What is "our collective failure" anyway? And Barack Obama has increased the chances the country will go passed the "breaking point" because of his spending policies, and the federal government has mismanaged Medicare and Medicare and Social Security, all of which are, in essence, broke.]
"...We are the only democracy, the only advanced democracy on Earth, the only wealthy nation that allows such hardship for its people. There are now more than thirty-million American citizens who cannot get coverage...." [For months and months, the Democrats have been pushing the idea that about "47 million" persons are without health care, but, on this day, Barack Obama tried to remove illegal immigrants from the discussion--though they have been part off the discussion for months by the Democrats. However, what we still have is Barack Obama wants to destroy the medical system of the United States of America, which is made up of about 300-million persons, because of 30-million persons. You should read the book entitled Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto, which was published in early 2009 and written by Mark R. Levin, who showed how many people in the country around 2008-2009 were without health-care insurance--though not without health care, since everyone in the country can get health care and medical treatment and since hospitals are required by federal law to tend to all persons with emergency medical needs.]
"...We spend one-and-a-half times more per person than on health care than any other country, but we aren't any healthier for it...." [Who says that "we aren't healthier for it."? What is his source of information? It is the World Health Organization of the United Nations, which is controlled by dictators and communists and socialists? I do not trust any information that comes from the United Nations!]
"...There are those on the left who believe that the only way to fix the system is through a single-payer system like Canada's, where we would, where we would severely restrict the private insurance market and have the government provide coverage for everybody. On the right, there are those who argue that we should end employer-based systems and leave individuals to buy health insurance on their own. I've said, I have to say that there are arguments to be made for both these approaches, but either one would represent a radical shift that would disrupt the health care most people currently have. Since health care represents one-sixth of our economy, I believe it makes more since to build on what works and fix what doesn't, rather than try to build an entirely new system from scratch...." [Really, two of the biggest reforms from people who are on the "right" are (1) tort reform and (2) the removal of laws that only allow a person to buy health insurance from only companies that are based in the state in which the person lives. "HR 3200," which is the main health-care bill of the U.S. House of Representatives of around this time, would cause a radical change to the health-care system in the country.]
"...Our overall efforts have been supported by an unprecedented coalition of doctors and nurses, hospitals, seniors groups, and even drug companies, many of whom opposed reform in the past. And there is agreement in this Chamber on about eighty percent of what needs to be done, putting us closer to the goal of reform than we have ever been. But what we've also seen in these last months in the same partisan spectacle that only hardens the disdain many American have towards their own government. Instead of honest debate, we've seen scare tactics. Some have dug in ta unyielding ideological camps that offer no hope of compromise. Too many have used this as an opportunity to score short-term political points, even if it robs the country of our opportunity to solve a long-term challenge. And out of this blizzard of charges and counter-charges, confusion has reigned. Well, the time for bickering is over! The time for games has passed! Now is the season for action! Now is when we must bring the best ideas of both parties together and show the American people that we can still do what we were sent here to do! Now is the time to deliver on health care! Now is the time to deliver on health care!...." [The management of the American Medical Association and the management of AARP are two entities that have thrown in with Barack Obama's plans, but he AMA only represents a small portion of the doctors in the country, and AARP does not speak for all senior citizens. Where did Barack Obama come up with the "eighty percent" figure? I have heard a lot of opposition to many parts of, for instance, HR 3200! Generally speaking, many American citizens are protesting against HR 3200, such as at "town hall" meetings, and most Republicans in the U.S. Congress are balking at the idea. Oh, remember, you do not give up a fight or stop "bickering" when you have an enemy before you or have an enemy idea before you. Barack Obama wants people to stop fighting and compromise on what can be defined as a collection of many pieces of crap, and a citizen should not care about partisan battles, since a citizen should want good politicians to fight against the ideas of bad politicians, such as Barack Obama, and the bad ideas of bad politicians, such as Barack Obama.]
"...First, if you are among the hundreds of millions of Americans who already have health insurance through your job or Medicare or Medicaid or the VA, nothing in this plan will require you or your employer to change the coverage or the doctor you have...." [This idea is wrong and what Barack Obama said is a lie, since, for example, if a person has to alter a health-care policy in any way, the person is forced to take part in the government plan instead!]
"...They [insurance companies] will no longer be able to place some arbitrary cap on the amount of coverage you can receive in a given year or a lifetime...." [Gosh! Medicare has had lifetime limits of features for years. I bet a "government option," if created, would, too.]
"...Still, given all the misinformation that's been spread over the last few months, I realize, I realize that many Americans have grown nervous about reform. So, ta, tonight, I want to address some of the key controversies that are still out there. Some of people's concerns have grown out of bogus claims spread by those whose only agenda is to kill reform at any cost. The best example is the claim--made not just by radio and cable talk-show hosts but by prominent politicians--that we plan to set up panels of bureaucrats with power to kill off senior citizens. Now such a charge would be laughable if it weren't so cynical and irresponsible. It is a lie plain and simple...." There was clapping from the audience. "Now, now, there are also those who claim that our reform efforts would insure illegal immigrants, this too is false!" There was noise from the audience. "The reforms, the reforms I am proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally." Then, someone in the audience yelled out "Lie!" There was noise from the audience. "And one more misunderstanding I want to clear up, under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions...." [You should see the "Sarah Palin" section of my document entitled Patriots of the U.S.A. and the Counter-Counter Revolution, since it covers the topic of "death panels," and you should see the "Joe Wilson" segment of my document entitled Patriots of the U.S.A. and the Counter-Counter Revolution for information about the "lie" incident. Barack Obama did make a lie in relation to illegal immigrants!]
"...Let me set the record straight, here. My guiding principle is and always has been that consumers do better when there's choice and competition. That's how the market works." There was applause. "Unfortunately, in thirty-four states, seventy-five percent of the insurance market is controlled by five or fewer companies. In Alabama, almost ninety percent is controlled by just one company. And without competition, the price with insurance goes up and quality goes down, and it makes it easier for insurance companies to treat their customers badly by cherry picking the healthiest individuals and trying to drop the sickest by over-charging small businesses who have no leverage and by jacking up rates...." [If laws allowed a person to buy health insurance from a company based in any state in the country, there would be more competition (a person can buy automobile insurance from a company based in any state in the country). By the way, insurance companies are highly regulated by the states in which they are based, and there is no need for more regulations from the federal government. Wow! Barackl Obama knows how the market works!]
"...Now, I have no interest in putting insurance companies out of business. They provide a legitimate service and employ a lot of our friends and neighbors. I just want to hold them accountable...." [Barack Obama had noted months ago that he had no interest in owning automobile companies, but, later, in early 2009, the American government and the Canadian government became partial ownership entities in U.S.A. auto companies--General Motors or Chrysler.]
"...And to my Republican friends, I say that, rather than making wild claims about a government take over of health care, we should world together to address any legitimate concerns that you may have...." [Yes, Barack Obama tried to persuade listeners or viewers of the event that Republicans have been making "wild claims" about the Democrats' ideas, which is incorrect.]
"...And, and, and I will make sure no government bureaucrat or insurance-company bureaucrat gets between you and the care that you need!...." [Do you trust Barack Obama on this thought? I do not! I do not believe Barack Obama has me in mind, given he seems to have only himself in mind.]
"...First, I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits--either now or in the future." There was applause. "I will not sign it, if it adds one dime to the deficit now or in the future--period. And to prove that I'm serious, there will be a provision in this plan that requires us to come forward with more spending cuts if the savings we promised don't materialize...." [For fun I will say--"Barack Obama would sign something that adds two dimes to the deficit, or three dimes to the deficit,...2,000-billion dollars in dimes to the deficit...." Do you see the point? And if Barack Obama does not meet the savings goals, Barack Obama is going to have to cut back on services--have to ration care--by cutting back on spending.]
"...Second, we've estimated that most of this plan can be paid for by finding savings within the existing health-care system--a system that is currently full of waste and abuse...." [It is public knowledge that Medicare is fraught with fraud, and it is, in essence, bankrupt by many trillions of dollars. Take care of that problem, Barack Obama, before you create another health-care idea!]
"...That is why not a dollar of the Medicare Trust Fund will be used to pay for this plan. The only, the only thing this plan would eliminate is the hundreds of billions of dollars in waste and fraud as well as unwarranted subsidies in Medicare that go ta insurance companies--subsidies that do everything to pad their profits but don't improve the care of seniors...." [There is no such thing as a "Medicare Trust Fund." Yes, Barack Obama is beating up--unjustly--on insurance companies again! But that is to be expected, since Barack Obama seems to hate everything about the country, such as banks, doctors, stock brokers, car-dealership owners.... I have yet to really hear Barack Obama say anything good about the country--Remember: Barack Obama has put down the United States of America while he has been visiting other counties.]
"...And we will also create in independent commission of doctors and medical experts charged with identifying more waste in the years ahead...." [Yes, Barack Obama wants to create another "commission" or another set of bureaucrats--more waste.]
"...So don't pay attention to those scare stories about how your benefits will be cut, especially since some of the same folks who are spreading these tall tales have fought against Medicare in the past and just this year supported a budget that would essentially have turned Medicare into privatized voucher program. That will not happen on my watch! I will protect Medicare!...." [Since the federal government has run Medicare into the ground and stole money from it for other uses, it seems that it would be better to get Medicare out of the grasp of the federal government.]
"...And I will continue to seek common ground in the weeks ahead. If you come to me with a serious set of proposals, I will be there to listen, my door is always open. But know this--I will not waste time with those who have made the calculation that it's better politics to kill this plan than to approve it." There was applause. "I won't stand by while special interests use the same old tactics to keep things exactly the way they are. If you miz, misrepresent what's in this plan, we will call you out, and I will not, and I will not accept the status quo as a solution--not this time, not now...." [I do not want "common ground"; I want what is right and works and keeps the a central government away from having monopolistic control of the medical system in the country, and there is no comproming on that thought. In additon, my research or information shows that Barack Obama does not listen to others; the Republicans have been given little opportunity to create features of federal bills since January 20, 2009, when Barack Obama became the president. I think the health plan the Barack Obama has in mind for the country should be killed! People, such as conservative-type radio talk-show hosts, have not been misrepresenting what is the main idea of a federal health-care system being pushed on the country by Barack Obama.]
"...Everyone in this room knows what will happen if we do nothing--our deficit will grow, more families will go bankrupt, more businesses will close, more Americans will lose their coverage when they are sick and need it the most, and more will die as a result. We know these things to be true!...." [Barack Obama commonly uses scare tactics like what he used in this statement. For example, he wanted a listener or viewer to worry that they will die or others are going to die if nothing it done. Remember: Federal law requires hospitals to care for people with emergency medical conditions--no matter what. I say that, sometimes, it is better for politicians to do nothing, especially if the potential doer is Barack Obama, who through comments, has shown that he dislikes the country, The U.S. Constitution, which he believes is a "flawed" document, business people, doctors, stock brokers, et cetera.]
"...I received one of those letters a few days ago. It was from our beloved friend and colleague, Ted Kennedy. He had written back in May, shortly after he was told that his illness was terminal. He asked that it be delivered upon his death. In it, he spoke about what a happy time his last months were...." [Let me have fun with this in a logic puzzle. Ted Kennedy died recently (August 25, 2009). Ted Kennedy wrote to Barack Obama, writing a letter in May. In the letter, Ted Kennedy noted to Barack Obama that the last months were a happy time. Barack Obama could not make a statement about Ted Kennedy's last months, if the letter was written in May. Were not the last months--June, July, and August--roughly? To learn more about Edward "Ted" Kennedy, you should see my document entitled T.H.A.T. #65, which can be reached by using this link: T.H.A.T. #65.]
[That is enough for this speech! The speech had so much crap that I could write dozens of more pages, and I find the prospect unlikable. Anyway, it is very likely that Barack Obama, a man of anger, has many more days of nonsense and lies for me to cover.]Friday, September 11, 2009 (in Arlington, Viriginia):
"...On this first National Day of Service and Remembrance, we have summoned once more that ordinary goodness of America to serve our communities, to strengthen our country, to better our world. Let us renew our common purpose. Let us remember how we came together as one nation, as one people, as Americans, united not only in our grief but in our resolve to stand with one another, to stand up for the country we all love...." [This day was supposed to be a remembrance of those who died because of terrorists who had hijacked planes and, for instance, had flown planes in to the World Trade Center towers (New York City, New York) on September 11, 2001, and Barack Obama made this day something like that which would be celebrated in a communist country, such as China and the USSR, giving the US a "National Day of Service" idea, in which the citizen should celebrate giving service to the federal government.]Saturday, September 12, 2009 (in Minnesota):
"...Minnesota, are you fired up?" asked Barack Obama loudly (and the next few statements were also said loudly). The crowd yelled something like "yeah." "Ready to go?" The crowd made more noise. "Fire Up?" The crowd yelled again. "Ready to go?" The crowd yelled again. "Fired up?" The crowd yelled back again. "Ready to go?" The crowd yelled back once again. "They can't stop us. Let's go get this done. Thank you, everybody...." [And so Barack Obama did another speech, which happened to be on the day that there was a super-big march and rally in Washington, D.C., attended by peoples of all types, who were protesting the policies, such as the socialist policies, of Barack Obama, and, at that rally, there were somewhere between one-million and two-millon persons (Blum, Tom. "NY Home Page Virtually Ignores Sept 1 DC Rally, Gives Obama MN Speech Nearly Top Billing." NewsBusters, 13 September 2009, 11:37 ET.). But Barack Obama was not done, and Barack Obama appeared on 60 Minutes (of CBS-TV) on Sunday, September 13, 2009, and Barack Obama made a speech to the business community, which was an anti-business speech really, on Monday, September 14, 2009.]
"...Now, what we've also seen in these last few months is the same partisan spectacle that has left so many of you disappointed in Washington for so long. We've heard scare tactics instead of honest debate. Too many have used this opportunity to score short-term political points instead of working together to solve long-term challenges. I don't know if you agree with me, but I think the time for bickering is over. The time for games is passed! Now is the time for action. Now's the time to deliver on health care for every American...." [This statement was made during what was like a rally headed by Barack Obama and given before a crowd, and Barack Obama flapped his lips, and the same useless stuff came out.]Monday, September 14, 2009 (a speech to the business community):
"...What we're calling for is for the financial industry to join us in a constructive effort to update the rules and regulatory structure to meet the challenge of this new century...." [Yes, Barack Obama, who was in New York, said that he wanted the financial industry to accept his socialist, Marxist, fascist, communist policies!]
"...Now, there will be those who defend the status quo--there always are. There will be those who argue we should do less or nothing at all. There will be those who engage in revisionist's history or have selective memories and don't seem to recall what we just went through last year...." [This day was the anniversary Lehman Brothers going bankrupt, and I recall federal-government policies, such as those related to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, were instrumental in causing the economic problem of 2008, and Barack Obama has be adding to the problem through what he had said and through what policies he has enacted through laws, and, for some more information about the economic crisis, you should see my document entitled Political Lessons for the Individual Woman and the Individual Man in the United States of America, a link to which exists at the end of this document. I do not have a selective memory! I remember!]Tuesday, September 15, 2009 (at the AFL-CIO convention in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania):
"...And the fundamental test of our time is whether we will heed this lesson, whether we will let America become a nation of the every rich and the very poor, of the haves and the have-nots, or whether we will remain true to the promise of this country and build a future where the success of all of us is built on the success of each of us. That's the future I want to build. That's the future the AFL-CIO wants to build...." [The really important part of this segment is "the haves and the have-nots" set of words, which is thought that comes right out of Saul Alinsky's book entitled (in short form) Rules for Radicals, which was published in the early 1970s and was and is designed to give such persons as communists tactics that could be used to destroy the United States of America. "The haves and have-nots" is used by Saul Alinsky to spur descent and jealousy in the minds of people, especially the poor, so that they will join in a cause to destroy the business people of the country and let the government, such as a dictatorship, run or be the entire business community so that government can make everyone equal and so that government allow no one to make more money than anyone else, though not all people do or will do the same amount of work and though some people take more effort to build their minds or develop their talents.]
"...I refuse to let America go back to the culture of irresponsibility and greed that made it possible, back to an economy where soaring CEO salaries and shrinking middle-class income, back to the days when banks made reckless decisions and hurt Wall Street and Main Street alike! We're not gonna go back to those days! It'd be bad for unions and the middle class and bad for the United States of America! We're not turning back! We're going forward!...." [Do you hear the determination to change the country to Marxism and communism and socialism? There is determination in this statement made by Barack Obama. He has hate for the business system of the country, which has been developed by individuals for decades and several centuries. You should ask yourself--What is "going forward" in the mind of Barack Obama? By the way, I have already shown in some of my documents, such as Madness in a President and Other Matters of a Defective Mind, that Barack Obama does have a defective mind, and his mind is not a mind that you want to have involved in making decisions about your life and the future of this country.][Note: You must see the "Reverend Jeremiah Wright" section of my document entitled THE CRUD AROUND BARACK OBAMA: My Rule--"Like Minds Get Together", which will show you what beliefs about the world are in Barack Obama's mind, and the document can be reached by using this link: Crud.]
Tuesday, September 22, 2009 (at United Nations Climate Change Summit):
"...The threat from climate change is serious. It is urgent, and it is growing. Our generation's response to this challenge will be judged by history. For if we fail to meet it boldly, swiftly, and together, we risk consigning future generations to an irreversible catastrophe...." [Barack Obama is pushing the idea that the end of the world is near, which is nonsense, and, again, Barack Obama provides no evidence of his predicted trouble.]
"...We cannot meet this challenge unless all the largest emitters of greenhouse-gas pollution act together. There is no other way. We must also energize our efforts to put other developing nations, especially the poorest and most vulnerable, on a path to sustained growth...." [How is Barack Obama going to get China and India to take part? It seems to me China and India are not going hold back their growing economies by taking up in earnest the use of windmills and solar panels, especially when it has been shown in Europe that, for instance, windmills are a lot of hot air and are failed technology for the long run and for the economy of any country.].
"...We have a responsibility to provide the financial and technical assistance needed to help these nations adapt to the impacts of climate change and pursue low-carbon development...." [I say that it is not up to the United States of America to provide financial and technical assistance to the poorest countries, which have become poor or stayed poor over many, many years or decades or centuries because of dictators, corrupt politicians, Marxists (like Barack Obama), communists, and old tribal or village ways, and, for instance, if any financial assistance were given to such defective countries, the money would not be used for the people and for anything related to climate-change battling, since corrupt politicians would use the money for their purposes (as past history shows), and, anyway, "man" is too small to battle the planet and the sun and nature in relation to climate change." To me, what Barack Obama seems set to do is funnel money from U.S. taxpayers to corrupt foreign countries, such as dictatorships, to keep the leaders of the foreign countries in power. Keep in mind: Barack Obama has already shown that he is like a brother to some dictators of the world.]
"...The planet's future depends on a global commitment to permanently reduce greenhouse-gas pollution. We know that if we put the right rules and incentives in place, we will unleash the creative power of our best scientists and engineers and entrepreneurs to build a better world...." [No government can dictate creativity in developing new technology, since developments comes from work and more work from individuals, who cannot predict when breakthroughs will happen. No government can unleash creative power, unless, of course, the government is wishing to get artists to purposely create art that pushes a particular person or image of a person or agenda of a person on a public, as it was being done by the National Endowment for the Arts (of the United States of America) in at least August and September 2009.]
"...Rising sea levels threaten every coastline. More powerful storms and floods threaten every continent. More frequent droughts and crop failures breed hunger and conflict in places where hunger and conflict already thrive...." [These three sentences show more of the nonsense that is Barack Obama. The statements show a defective mind. For example, Barack Obama's mind is either in perpetual-panic mode about dying because the planet is going to die very, very soon, which is the way of an insane man, or Barack Obama's mind is simply corrupt and is working to spread panic to others so that he can make rules that will allow him to enslave other people--masses of people, like all those in the United States of America.]Wednesday, September 23, 2009 (before the U.N. General Assembly):
"...We know the future will be forged by deeds and not simply words. Speeches alone will not solve our problems. It will take persistent action. For those of you who question the character and cause of my nation, I ask you to look at the concrete actions we have taken in just nine months. On my first day in office, I prohibited--without exception or equivocation--using torture by the United States of America." There was clapping. "I ordered the prison at Guantanamo closed, and we are doing the hard work to combat extremism within the rule of law. Every nation must know America will live its values, and we will lead by example...." [Notice how Barack Obama referred to the United States of America as "my nation," and during the speech, Barack Obama used "my" in a similar way other times. No, the United States of America did not use torture, as it is truly defined, and, yes, Barack Obama did make life easier for thugs and terrorists by taking away ways in which bad people could be combated by the military of the United States of America. Barack Obama must be proud of himself through the way in which he hurt the United States of America.]
"...Responsibility and leadership in the Twenty-first Century demand more. In an era when our destiny is shared, power is no longer a zero-sum game. No one nation can or should try to dominate another nation. No world order that elevates one nation or group of people over another will succeed. No balance of power among nations will hold. The traditional divisions between nations of the South and the North make no sense in an interconnected world, nor do alignments of nations rooted in the cleavages of a long-gone Cold War. The time has come to realize that the old habits, the old arguments are irrelevant to the challenges faced by our people...." [Notice how Barack Obama is saying that the United States of America should not be strong. I noted that, over the decades, the power of the United States of America has been good for Americans and peoples of many other countries of the world. Notice how Barack Obama hinted that he would like such entities as NATO to no longer exist (by the way, NATO has been an entity that has been in opposition to countries like the Soviet Union and Russia. I say that alignment of nations will always have to be, since there is good and bad in the world, and the good will have to group together, as bad does, but, of course, it seems to me Barack Obama wants one governing body in the world, and to have one governing body in the world (for him as a leader or the leader), there can be only one side, which would be like him (the bad). Oh, try to figure out in your mind what Barack Obama means by "zero-sum game"?]
"...We've also re-engaged the United Nations. We have paid our bills. We have joined the Human Rights Council. We have signed the Convention of the Rights of Persons for Disabilities...." [In essence, Barack Obama reported that he is putting the United States of America under the laws of other countries or is working to put the United States of America under the laws of an international body, which, it seems to me, would have many rules related to Sharia law or Islamic law.]
"...Some of our actions have yielded progress. Some have laid the ground work for progress in the future. But make no mistake, this cannot solely be America's endeavor. Those who used to chastise America for acting alone in the world cannot now stand by and wait for America to solve the world's problems alone. We have sought in word and deed a new era of engagement with the world, and now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges. Now, if we are honest with ourselves, we need to admit we are not living up to that responsibility...." [Ask yourself: What the heck does this mean? I say that this collection of words from Barack Obama is a collection of nonsense.]
"...We continue to call on Palestinians to end incitement against Israel, and we continue to emphasize that America does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements. The time, the time has come to relaunch negotiations without preconditions, that address the permanent status issues--security for Israelis and Palestinians, borders, refugees, and Jerusalem. The goal is clear, two states living side by side in peace and security--the Jewish state of Israel with true security for all Israelis and a viable independent Palestinian state with contiguous territory that ends the occupation that began in 1967 and realizes the potential of the Palestinian people...." [Israel won a war in 1967 that it did not start.]
"...I took office in a time when many around the world had come to view America with skepticism and distrust. A part of this was due to misperceptions and misinformation about my country. Part of this was due to opposition to specific policies and a belief on certain critical issues, America had acted unilaterally, without regard for the interests of others. This has fed an almost reflexive anti-Americanism, which too often has served as an excuse for collective inaction...." [Yes, America did at times have to act "unilaterally," and, yes, America had to disregard at times "the interest of others"--enemies. Who was Barack Obama referring to in his statement about "the interests of others." By the way, in the eyes of the enemies of the United States of America, distrust will always be there--till Barack Obama can make the United States of America like the enemies. Notice: Barack Obama again used "my" in this set of words.]
"...Like all of you, my responsibility is to act in the interest of in my nation and my people, and I will never apologize for defending those interests, but it is my deeply held belief that, in the year 2009, more than at any time in human history, the interests of nations and peoples are shared...." [Examine this set of words for yourself, since I will only do it for "myself."]
"...In their actions to date, the governments of North Korea and Iran threaten to take us down this dangerous slope. We respect their rights as members of the community of nations. I've said before and I will repeat--I am committed to diplomacy that opens a path to greater prosperity and more secure peace for both nations if they live up to their obligations...." [Hurray for Barack Obama, since he was going to conduct more and more and more and more diplomacy.]
"...The danger posed by climate change cannot be denied. Our responsibility to meet it must not be deferred. If we continue down our current course, every member of this Assembly will see irreversible changes within their borders. Our efforts to end conflicts will be eclipsed by wars over refugees and resources...." [Do you think Barack Obama has frightened everyone in the world yet?]
[That should be enough for you.]Friday, September 25, 2009 (at a press conference about Iran during "Pittsburgh Summit 2009"):
"...As the international community knows, this is not the first time that Iran has concealed information about its nuclear program. Iran has a right to peaceful nuclear power that meets the energy needs of its people, but the size and configuration of this facility is inconsistent with a peaceful program. Iran is breaking the rules that all nations must follow, endangering the global non-proliferation regime, denying its own people access to the opportunity they deserve and threatening the stability and security of the region and the world...." [It was on September 24, 2009, that information about a "secret" nuclear facility in Iran became public knowledge or international public knowledge, and this set of words was only a small portion of all the words that Barack Obama used to make it seem he was going to get tough with Iran or used to urge the international community to get tough with Iran. It is noted that the United States of America has known about the "secret" facility for many, many months, and I remind you that Barack Obama spoke before the United Nations about two day previously, saying nothing about the topic of Iran's "secret" nuclear facility. Remember: In the 1990s, the United Nations made a number of resolutions about and against Iraq, and that was all useless! By the way, "Pittsburgh Summit 2009" was a G-20-type summit.]Friday, October 2, 2009 (in Copenhagen, working to get an Olympics in Chicago, Illinois):
"...There is nothing that I would like more than to step a few blocks from my family's home with Michelle and our two girls and welcome the world back into our neighborhood. At the beginning of this new century, the nation that has been shaped by people from around the world wants a chance to inspire it once more...." [The Olympics is about athletes from around the world, and people do not care if Barack Obama and his family would have the chance to, in essence, step outside of their home and be at the Olympics. Barack Obama thinks everything is about him, and that is to be expected from a megalomaniac, which I believe he is.]Friday, October 9, 2009 (comments about being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize):
"...I am both surprised and deeply humbled by the decision of the Noble committee. Let me be clear, I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments but rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations. To be honest, ah, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who've been honored by this prize...." [I heard the actual announcement, and people at the announcement site gasped when Barack Obama's name was announced, showing they could not believe what they had heard. Oh, ask yourself, what does "...as an affirmation of an American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people of all nations" mean?]
"...Throughout history, the Nobel Peace Prize has not just been used to honor specific achievement, it's also been used as a means to give momentum to a set of causes, and that is why I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations to confront the common challenges of the 21st Century. These challenges can't be met by any one leader or any one nation, that's why my administration's worked to establish a new era of engagement in which all nations must take responsibility for the world we seek...." [What type of world does Barack Obama seek? Is it a communist-controlled world? Is it a Marxist-controlled world? It is a world headed by Barack Obama?]Thursday, October 15, 2009 (in San Francisco, California):
"... I want everybody to know who are standing in the way of progress. I'm not tired! [There was cheering.] I'm just getting started! [There was more cheering.] You can throw whatever you want at me! [There was more cheering.] Keep it comin'! We're gonna get this done! We're gonna get health care done! [There was cheering.] We're gonna get clean energy done! We're gonna get climate change done! We're gonna fix our schools! We are gonna to deal with the problems internationally that I was elected to deal with! We are at a rare moment! We've been given the opportunity to remake our world for the better...." [Notice how Barack Obama believes he was elected to change the world or to fix the problems of the world. Barack Obama is not working to be the President of the United States of America; he is working to be king of the world. What are the problems, as he sees them in his mind? Notice all the crap that he wants to do--from "cap-and-trade" legislation to "climate-change" legislation, all of which will be bad for the United States of America and the world. And you are urged to see the document entitled World Tyranny: Warnings about the Insane Who are Trying to Create a Communist World Country, which can be reached by using this link: World.]Saturday, October 17, 2009 (weekly radio address):
"This is the unsustainable path we're on. It is the path the insurers want to keep us on. In fact, the insurance industry is rolling out the big guns and breaking out their massive war chests to martial their forces for one last fight to save the status quo. They're filling the airwaves with the deceptive and dishonest ads. They're flooding Capital Hill with lobbyists and campaign contributions. And they're funding studies designed to mislead the American people. Of course, like clockwork, we've seen folks on cable television who know better, waving these industry-funded studies in the air. We've seen industry insiders and their apologists citing these studies as proof of claims that just aren't true. It's smoke and mirrors. It's bogus. And it's all too familiar...." [Price Waterhouse recently released a study that showed a proposed health-care law was going to cost Americans more in health payments than was announced by Barack Obama's administration or associates. In this quotation, Barack Obama did not give proof about why the studies were false and wrong--he simply ran off the mouth.]
"...Every time we get close to passing reform, the insurance companies produce these phony studies as a prescription and say, 'Take one of these, and call us in a decade!' Well, not this time! The fact is the insurance industry is making this last-ditch effort to stop reform, even as costs continue to rise and our health-care dollars continue to be poured into their profits, bonuses, and administrative costs that do nothing to make us healthier. It often actually goes toward figuring out to avoid covering people. And they're earning these profits and bonuses while enjoying a privileged exception from our anti-trust laws, a matter that Congress is rightfully reviewing...." [And what the two paragraphs show is Barack Obama is attacking another industry of the country. Barack Obama has already attacked the automobile companies and taken over auto companies, and Barack Obama is directly attacked the doctors of the country, and Barack Obama has done more. This Barack Obama is a deadly man!]Tuesday, October 20, 2009 (a DNC fund-raiser in New York City, New York, with rich people):
"...Sometimes, Democrats can be their own worst enemies! Democrats are an opinionated bunch! You know, the other side, they just kind sometimes do what their told! Democrats, ya all, thinkin' for yourselves! I like that..., but it's time for us to make sure we finish the job here. We are this close, and we got to be unified...."
"...This is such a rare moment in our history. Now's not the time to start gettin' disillusioned or that's not the time to start speaking out this is too hard. We've got this opportunity to change our world for the better...."
"...I don't know about you, I just want to let you know, just gettin' started! I'm not tired! I don't know about you, but I'm not tired! All these folks who are throwing stuff at us, just gettin' all crazy. You know, I'm just getting started! I feel refreshed! I feel energized! And it's because of you! So if you're willin' to get keep on goin', if you're willin' to keep on marchin', then I guarantee you, we are going succeed!...."
[Through these three sets of words, you can see Barack Obama did another campaign speech or another rah-rah speech, which contained nothing, and I hope you noticed how he speech pattern was more like a gutter-speech pattern.]Wednesday, October 21, 2009 (an interview on NBC):
"...Five years ago, six years ago, though, we were having a lot of negotiations, because Michelle was trying to figure out--'Okay, when the kids get sick, why is it that she's the one who has to take time off from her job ta go pick them up from school as opposed to me?' What I've tried to do was, ah, learn to be thoughtful enough, ah, and introspective enough that, ah, I wasn't always having to be told that things were unfair, and then once in a while, I'd actually voluntarily say, 'You know what, let me relieve of this burden on you.' There's no doubt that our family, like a lot of families out there, ah, were ones in which, ah, the men, ah, are still little obtuse about this stuff...." [Such silliness this is, but it helps you understand his shallow mind.]Friday, October 23, 2009 (at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts):
"...An economy in which we all share opportunity is an economy in which we all share crisis. We face threats to our security that seeks, ah." He stalled and sort of cleared his throat twice. "Wa, wa, there are threats to our security that are based on those who would seek to exploit the very interconnectedness and openness that's so essential to our prosperity...." [And the teleprompter seemed to die again, and Barack Obama fell apart and blurted out more nonsense.]Monday, October 26, 2009 (at the Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, Florida):
"...I will never hesitate to use force to protect and American people or our vital interests. I also promise you this, and this is very important as we consider our next steps in Afghanistan--I will never rush a solemn decision of sending you into harm's way. I won't risk your lives unless it is absolutely necessary, and if it is necessary, we will back you up to the hilt, because you deserve the strategy, the clear mission, and the defined goals as well as the equipment and support that you need to get the job done. We are not goin' to have a situation in which you are not fully supported back here at home. That is a promise that I will also make to you...." [Yes, Barack Obama will always make that promise to you, but it does not mean he will keep the promise--only make it over and over and over. And here is one of the big problem with the talk from Barack Obama this time--American soldiers are in harm's way, and Barack Obama has been stalling and has been delaying his decision about sending more troops into Afghanistan--reinforcements that generals have been asking for.]Tuesday, October 27, 2009 (at the DeSoto Next Generation Solar Energy Center, belonging to Florida Power and Light, in Arcadia, Florida):
"...It's expected to save consumers more than twenty-billion dollars over the next decade on their utility bills, and I know nobody minds seein' their utility bills cut. I'm sorry, Lou [or, maybe, Lew], but they really don't mind that. It'll make our grid more secure and more reliable, saving us some of the one-hundred-and-fifty-billion dollars we lose each year during power outages...." [This statement was made, but it is nonsense, given Barack Obama has said in the past that he is going to increase energy costs significantly, and, remember, Barack Obama is pushing the idea of "cap-and-trade" legislation, which will increase the cost of energy in the country--in his efforts to save the planet from humans, especially those in the United States of America, using fossil fuels.]
"...Smart meters will allow you to actually monitor how much energy your family is using by the month, by the week, by the day, or even by the hour...." [For decades, people have been able to determine how much electricity that they use by looking at their electric meters, and they can calculate how much money is being spent, such as by multiplying the number of units used by the unit cost. "Smart meters" will allow government to more closely determine how much electric energy a customer is using, and the government will be able to determine if a customer is using too much as determined by the government, and the government can limit the amount of energy used and can penalize a customer for using too much, such as through a tax of some type.]
"...So coupled with other technologies, this is going to help you manage your electricity use and your budget at the same time, allowing you to conserve electricity during times when prices are highest, like hot summer days...." [What did he say? So, when you need the electricity on hot summer days--to run air conditioners--you can turn off the electricity to save money. Great idea, ha!]
"...Now, I have to be honest with you, though, the closer we get to this energy future, the harder the opposition is goin' to fight, ah, or we're goin' to hear from special interests and lobbyists in Washington whose interests are contrary to the interests of the American people...." [There is that "I have to be honest with you" nonsense of his. Who are the special interests in his mind and his statement? To me, it looks as if he was talking about consumers--who are going to want enough energy to do things and to live. He could not be talking about power companies, who want to sell their services and serve the public as they have since the late 1800s--and have done well since the 1800s. And what is this "energy future" that is in his defective mind? Try to answer that. It seems to me it will be a future with less energy, especially if he shuts down coal-based power plants, as he has stated that he wants to do, and not allow companies to make more nuclear-power-based power plants.]Thursday, October 29, 2009 (a press conference):
"...I am gratified that our economy grew in the third quarter of this year. Ah, we've come a long way since the first three months of 2009, when our economy shrunk by an alarming six-point-four precent. In fact, the three-point-five percent growth in the third quarter is the largest three-month gain we have seen in two years, and this is obviously welcome news and an affirmation that this recession is abating and the steps we've taken have made a difference...." [Barack Obama was referring to GDP (which is Gross Domestic Product), but it was not the private sector that grew really--it was federal government spending that spurred GDP growth, such as by giving money to people to buy cars (the rebates given out were taxed as income, though, which caught people who got the rebates by surprise). By the way, Barack Obama was talking about a 3.5 percent increase in GDP--as it was announced to the public--but, on November 24, 2009, it was announced that the GDP figure for the third quarter was revised down from 3.5 percent to 2.8 percent, and, on December 22, 2009, the GDP number was downgraded yet again by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (of the federal government) to 2.2 percent (Mutikani, Lucia. "U.S. GDP revised down to 2.8 pct." Reuters, 24 November 2009.; McMaken, Ryan. "GDP rises 2.2 percent in third quarter." Examiner.com, 22 December 2009.).]Monday, November 2, 2009: (at a meeting with his economic advisors):
"...The need for us to make up a whole lot of job loss is going to require, I think, some bold innovative action upon our part and on Congress's part and on the private sector's part...." [There have already be stimulus plans, and, yet, Barack Obama said that he wants to take some 'bold innovative action.' Barack Obama has tried the bold innovative action, and his action has caused deep federal debt. The spending more great amounts of money by the federal government--money that come from the people of the country or that are borrowed--will not save the day. (I say that, of course, Barack Obama is not really working to save the day--he is purposely trying to hurt the country.)]
"...It's also gonna required that we look at new models for where future job growth is gonna come from, because one of the, I think, key understandings coming out of this past financial crisis is that a lot of our growth was debt driven--credit cards maxed out, home equity loans being taken out to finance, ah, a lot of purchases. Businesses are gonna to be more cautious in terms of how they approach taking on a lot of debt. The government is gonna have to get serious about reducing our debt levels...." [Barack Obama passed on more nonsense. For example, for the recently finished fiscal year for the federal government, the federal government ended up with a 1,420-billion-dollar deficit (or a 1.42-trillion-dollar deficit). Barack Obama--in what he signed on for or passed--was instrumental in creating that deficit.]
"...How do you get what I call a post-bubble growth model, ah, one that is sustainable? That's what, ah, we're gonna to be discussing here today. Ah, as I said, we got experts from, ah, a wide range of business sectors, and what we're gonna talk about is--Are there mechanisms that we can, ah, start putting in place where, ah, we see the kind of growth that used to characterize the U.S. economy--export-driven growth, manufacturing growth, and growth that pays high wages and provides, ah, a high living standards for a broad-based middle class?...." [This is more nonsense thought and flap-doodle.]
"...We're also in an era of fiscal constraint, which means that we gotta start planning for creative new approaches to, ah, financing, ah, these projects. So those are the discussions we're going to be having, ah, not just today but, ah, in the weeks and months to come. This is my administration's overriding hopes, having, ah, brought the economy back from the brink. The question is--How are we gonna make sure that people are getting back to work, ah, and able to support their families? It's not going to happen over night, but we will not rest until, ah, we are succeeding in generating new jobs that this economy needs...." [Barack Obama has not brought back from the brink the private sector, since it was federal government spending that was the reason for the recently announced GDP increase.]
"...If somebody can show me, ah, a strategy that's gonna work, ah, then we are happy to consider it...." [This statement is another one of his standard sayings, in which he hints he is willing to listen and then never does (he has not given Republicans much input into creating federal bills, such as the Democratic Party released health-care bills known as HR 3200 and HR 3962.]
"...I want to end by adding this. We anticipate that we're gonna to continue to see some job losses in the weeks and months to come...." [Yeah! Barack Obama passed on more good news for individuals in the country. But Barack Obama says that he is doing all the right things. Ha!]Friday, November 6, 2009 (a statement to the press):
"...Now, ah, I would also like to announce that I just signed into law a bill that would help grow our economy, save and create new jobs, and provide relief to struggling families and businesses. The need for such a measure was made clear by the jobs report that we received this morning. Although we lost fewer jobs than we did last month, our unemployment rate climbed to over ten percent, a sobering number that underscores the economic challenges that lie ahead...." [On this date, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the federal government announced that the general unemployment rate was now 10.2 percent, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the "U6" employment rate became 17.5 percent (see my document entitled Detroit and Death: A View of a Future United States of America for more information about the unemployment rate, and the document can be reached by using this link: Detroit). Barack Obama was and is still lying about his policies, since he has enacted no law that as "saved" or "created" any new jobs where it matters--in the private sector--given that more jobs were lost again in October 2009 (about 190,000 jobs); for instance, much of the spending related to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (which became law on February 17, 2009) does not happen till 2010. I remind you here that, around the time Barack Obama was pushing the U.S. Congress to enact the American Recovery and Reinvestment bill, Barack Obama was saying that the unemployment rate would not go beyond eight percent, and, in essence, he was saying that the country was doomed if the bill was not passed--quickly. Oh, on Sunday, February 15, 2009, Dave Axelrod, who was and is a close advisor to Barack Obama, was on This Week with George Stephanopoulos and said, "...Well, that's our hope. That's are hope. There's no doubt that without it [the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act], that's what, that's where we were looking--double-digit unemployment--and that's what we're trying to forestall. We want to turn this thing around, and we think that this will, will happen. That's why the President had such a sense of urgency...."]
"...When we first came into office, our immediate goal was to stop the free fall that caused our economy to shrink at an alarming rate. We've succeeded in achieving that goal as our economy grew last quarter for the first time in a year. But history tells just that job growth always lags behind economic growth, which is why we have to continue to pursue measures that will create new jobs...." [For information about the recent increase in the Gross Domestic Product that was reported, you should see the entry for October 29, 2009. Do you believe the economy of the U.S. can be improving when the general jobless rate in the U.S. is continuing to go higher? Since the increase in the GDP figure was not because of improvement in the private sector, it seems you should not see an increase in jobs soon, since the growth in the private sector has not happened yet. But, then again, Barack Obama can put more people in government jobs--as, for example, "paper pushers"--in the days to come so that it looks as if the economy is improving--though the private-sector economy is not improving.]Monday, November 9, 2009 (the 20th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall):
"...Even as we celebrate these values, even as we mark his date, we know the freedom is never finished. In a Berlin under seige, President Kennedy said, 'Freedom is indivisible, and when one man is enslaved, all are not free.' Few would have preceived on that day that a united Germany would be led by a woman from Brandenburg or that their American ally would be led by a man of African descent, but human destiny is what human beings make of it...." [This set of sentences was part of a video clip introduced by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, when she gave a speech at the site of where the "Brandenburg Gate" once existed. Barack Obama's message did not say anything about U.S. President Ronald Reagan or Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher (of England) or even Russia, but the message did refer to Barack Obama. Why did Barack Obama put himself in the message? What did Barack Obama have to do with the Berlin Wall coming down? The Germans of that past time surely were never even thinking about him or someone like him becoming the U.S. President, having other matters in mind.]Tuesday, November 10, 2009 (at Fort Hood, Texas):
"...This is a time of war, and these Americans did not die on a foreign field of battle. They were killed here on American soil in the heart of this great state and the heart of this great American community. This is a fact that makes the tragedy even more painful, even more incomprehensible. It may be hard to comprehend the twisted logic that led to this tragedy, but this much we do know--no faith justifies these murderous and craven acts, no just and loving God looks upon them with favor. For what he has done, we know that the killer will be met with justice in this world and the next...." [Barack Obama spoke more garbage. It is publicly known that the man--Major Nidal Malik Hasan--who shot and ended up killing about a dozen persons and injuring about another three dozen persons at Fort Hood recently (November 5, 20909) is a follower of radical Islam. And, yes, there are Imams in the world who preach a version Islam that seeks to destroy of the United States of America and other countries of the West. By the way, it must be remembered, in early 2009, Barack Obama made it clear acts of "terrorism" would be called "manmade disasters" from now on, but I say that the shooter was a "terrorist" and the work done was an act of "terrorism" related to a deadly and dangerous sect of Islam.]
"...The stories of those at Fort Hood reaffirm the core values that we are fighting for and the strength that we must draw upon. Theirs are the tails of American men and women answering an extraordinary call--the call to serve their comrades, their communities, and their country. In an age of selfishness, they embody responsibility. In an era of division, they call upon us to come together. In a time of cynicism, they remind us of who we are as Americans...." [What did Barack Obama mean by "In an age of selfishness" and "In an era of division" and "In a time of cynicism"? Barack Obama spoke nonsense. Although it could be argued well by me that Barack Obama is attacking the people of the United States of America, since Americans do think about themselves (and family members and friends and people in need) instead of thinking about Barack Obama's "commune" or Barack Obama's community or Barack Obama's village. It is an era of division, because people of America recognize Barack Obama is a communist, a socialist, and a Marxist and has an ill mind, and Barack Obama is working to kill the United States of America, so the people are fighting back. I will let you think about what he meant by "In a time of cynicism" because, to me, it is a vague set of words that is not worth writing about here.]Thursday, November 12, 2009 (before heading to Japan):
"...Over the past ten months, we've taken a number of bold steps to break the back of this recession. As a result, the economy is now growing again for the first time in more than a year and faster than at anytime in the past two years. But even though we've slowed the loss of jobs--and today's report on the continued decline in unemployment claims is a hopeful sign--the economic growth that we've seen has not yet led to the job growth that we desperately need...." [Barack Obama lied--the private sector is not growing.]
"...We all know that there are limits to what government can and should do, even during such difficult times. But we have an obligation to consider every additional responsible step that we can to encourage and accelerate job creation in this country. And that's why, in December, we'll be holding a forum at the White House on jobs and economic growth. We'll gather CEOs and small business owners, economists and financial experts, as well as representatives from labor unions and nonprofit groups to talk about how we can work together to create jobs and get this economy moving again...." [All Barack Obama is doing is gathering people together to talk, and it will all be useless, since Barack Obama does not listen to good ideas, because Barack Obama has his ideas--socialist idea, communistic ideas, et cetera, and through Barack Obama's actions, Barack Obama has shown his goal is to change the country, even if it hurts people, as it has already, but that is the way of an insane man.]
"...It's important that we don't make any ill-considered decisions, even with the best of intentions, particularly at a time when our resources are so limited. But it's just as important that we are open to any demonstratively good idea to supplement the steps we've already taken to put America back to work. That's what this forum is about...." [It seems to me, everytime Barack Obama speaks, he has to follow some statement with a "but" statement--he wavers on everything thought he offers, so no thought is ever concrete.]Friday, November 13, 2009 (a press conference in Japan):
"...We share, I think, a vision of a world without nuclear weapons. Ah, we recognized, though, that this is a distant goal, and we have to take specific steps in the interim to meet this goal. It will take time. If will not be reached through even in our own lifetimes....Obviously, Japan, ah, has unique perspective, ah, on the issue of nuclear weapons as a consequence of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I'm sure, helps to motivate the Prime Minister's deep interest in the issue. I certainly would be honored and it would be meaningful to me to visit those two cities in the future. I don't have immediate travel plans, ah, but it's something that, ah, would be meaningful to me...." [This set of words was part of an answer to a complex-question or multi-question, a part of which wondered if Barack Obama thought the atomic-bomb attacks on Japan at the end of World War II were justified, and he avoided giving an answer, and a followup question tried to get Barack Obama to give an answer about whether he thought the atomic-bomb attacks were justified, and, in essence, he brushed aside the second attempt to get him to answer.]Tuesday, November 17, 2009 (in China):
"...It's very important for the United States not to assume that what is good for us is automatically good for somebody else. We have to have some modesty about our attitudes toward other countries. We think it's important nevertheless to be true to our ideals and our values. And we, when we do so, though, we will always do so with the humility and understanding we are not perfect and that we still have much progress to make. Ah, if you talk to women in America, they will tell you that there are still men who have a lot of old-fashioned ideas about the role of women in society...." [Barack Obama made this statement to students at a university. First, Barack Obama put down the United States of America in another country again. Second, the women in China really know not what freedom American women have--American women are not oppressed, especially not oppressed as women are in some Islam-based societies of the Middle East--and the women in China have no reference point about how women are treated in America, but they do have their experiences about how women are treated in China, and that means, through Barack Obama's speech, the women in China might think most women in America live in some type of oppression. Third, what did Barack Obama mean by the words "old-fashioned ideas"? Barack Obama did not say what the old-fashioned ideas were, so listeners could come up with their own conclusions, which would mostly likely be false.]Wednesday, November 18, 2009 (speaking to Fox News):
"...There may be some, ah, tax provisions that can encourage businesses to hire sooner rather than sitting on the sidelines, so we're taking a look at those. Ah, I, I think it is important , though, to recognize that, if we keep on adding to the debt, even in the midst of this recovery, that some point, ah, people could lose confidence in the U.S. economy in a way that could actually lead to a double-dip recession...." [I see that Barack Obama was and is a trying to state that, if a double-dip recession occurs, it will have been the "people" who were the cause, because they lost confidence in the U.S. economy. Barack Obama lied again, since the economy is not improving, as this document shows in some recent entries. Barack Obama has caused the big debt, and Barack Obama yet wants to--it appears to me--pass super-big bills that will add much, much more to the debt., and some of those bills are a national-health-care bill and a cap-and-trade bill. What a collage of nonsense that Barack Obama spouted.]Monday, November 23, 2009 (at the launching of the Educate to Innovate campaign):
"...We live in a world of unprecedented perils but also unparalleled potential. Our medical system holds the promise of unlocking new cures, but it's attached to a health-care system that's bankrupting families and businesses and our government. The sources of energy that power our economy are also endangering our planet...." [Over the previous four days or so, the big story was that a hacker had captured about 1,000 emails and more than 2,000 other electronic documents related to the Climate Research Unit of East Anglia University, Norwich, the United Kingdom, and posted them on a server in Russia, and the documents show evidence that main pro-manmade-global-warming scientists have been working to put down the thoughts of skeptics to the manmade-global-warming idea and lying about manmade global warming. Again, Barack Obama showed that he is probably a liar--probably well aware he knows manmade global warming is a hoax. (Johnson, Keith, and Jeffrey Ball. "Climate Emails Stoke Debate." The Wall Street Journal, 22 November 2009. (http://www.wsj.com....); Eilperin, Juliet. "Hackers steal electronic date from top climate research center." The Washington Post, 21 November 2009. (http://www.washingtonpost.com....); Hickman, Leo, and James Randerson. "Climate sceptics claim leaked emails are evidence of collusion among scientists." The Guardian (The U.K.), 20 November 2009, 18:5 GMT. (http://www.guardian.com....))]Tuesday, December 1, 2009 (a Presidential Address to the Nation at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York):
"...When I took office, we had just over 32,000 Americans serving in Afghanistan, compared to 160,000 in Iraq at the peak of the war. Commanders in Afghanistan repeated asked for support to deal with the reemergence of the Taliban, but these reinforcements did not arrive, and that's why shortly after taking office, I approved a long-standing request for more troops...." [U.S. General Stanley McChrystal asked for reinforcements in August 2009, and it was not till now that Barack Obama gave his agreement for more troops.]
"...This review is now complete. As Commander-in-Chief, I have determined that it is in our vital national interest to send an additional 30,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan. After eighteen months, our troops will begin to come home...." [U.S. General Stanley McChrystal had asked for a number of troops in a range of from 80,000 to 40,000 troops, the latter of which was the stated minimum, and so Barack Obama chose to give the expert--U.S. General Stanley McChrystal--less than the minimum asked for, and Barack Obama gave the rough date on which troops would start to leave Afghanistan, giving the enemy, for example, an idea of how they could back off a bit till the U.S. troops were gone.]
"...Years of debate over Iraq and terrorism have left our unity on national security issues in tatters and created a highly polarized and partisan backdrop for descent...." [Here, I say, "So what!" Since Barack Obama is a dangerous man, I want descent against him and work to block him and his policies.]
"...First, we will pursue a military strategy that will break the Taliban's momentum and increase Afghanistan's capacity over the next eighteen months. The 30,000 additional troops that I'm announcing tonight will deploy in the first part of 2010, the fastest possible pace, so that they can target the insurgency and secure key population centers...." [Yes, Barack Obama stalled for about three months in making a decision about the number of troops, and, now, we learned that Barack Obama is going to rush, rush, rush to get the extra troops on the battlefield--next year, sometime.]
"...Finally, there are those who oppose identifying a time frame for our transition to Afghan responsibility. Indeed, some call for a more dramatic and open-ended escalation of our war effort, one that would commit us to a nation-building project of up to a decade. I reject this course, because it sets goals that are beyond what can be achieved at a reasonable cost and what we need to achieve to secure our interests...." [What does Barack Obama think is a reasonable cost, given that he has worked on or is working on domestic policies that are adding trillions of dollars to the debt of the country?]
"...Our new approach in Afghanistan is likely to cost us roughly 30-billion dollars for the military this year, and I'll work closely with Congress to address these costs as we work to bring down our deficit...." [Barack Obama lied again, since Barack Obama has done nothing yet or has proposed nothing yet to reduce the deficit in any meaningful amount, and, in fact, Barack Obama has increased the debt three or four times over that of George W Bush's.]
"...Now let me be clear. None of this will be easy. The struggle against violent extremism will not be finished quick, and it extends well beyond Afghanistan and Pakistan...." [Yes, Barack Obama did say that the work "will not be finished quick," yet Barack Obama did set a time table for the U.S. to get out of Afghanistan.]
"...This vast and diverse citizenry will not always agree on every issue or should we. But I also know we as a country cannot sustain our leadership nor navigate the momentous challenges of our time if we allow ourselves to be split asunder by the same rancor and cynicism and partisanship that has in recent times poisoned our national discourse...." [This boring and laborious speech for the audience--and maybe for Barack Obama--is trying to promote to the American public that the American public should not rebel against him and should follow him.]Thursday, December 3, 2009 (a "Jobs Summit" in Washington, D.C.):
"...Despite the progress we've made, many businesses are still skittish about hiring. Some are still digging themselves out of loses they incurred over the past year. Many have figured out how to squeeze more productivity out of fewer workers. And that cost cutting has become embedded in their operations and in their culture. That may result in good profits, but it's not translating into hiring, and so that's the question that we have to ask ourselves today--'How do we get businesses to start hiring again?'...." [Here, Barack Obama attacked every business person in the country. Barack Obama said that business owners are purposely not hiring so that they can avoid using profits to pay workers, and Barack Obama said that businesses are forcing their workers to work harder. Barack Obama is spurring on hatred through lies, because, for one, business owners are not hiring because they know how communists and the like hate private business and work to hurt private businesses through taxes, and, today, business owners know Barack Obama is proposing taxes that will take away more money that businesses have taken in from customers--called revenues--that can be used to hire and hold on to employees or stay in businesss!]
"...I want to be clear. While I believe that government has a critical role in creating the conditions for economic growth, ultimately, true economic recovery is only going to come from the private sector. We don't have enough public dollars to fill the hole of private dollars that was created as a consequence of the crisis...." [This set of words can be hard to understand; that is, a person cannot really understand what is meant, especially the portion "enough public dollars to fill the hole of private dollar that was created as a consequence of the crisis." The government gets its "public dollars" from the private section--especially taxes on businesses and taxes on individuals. However, the federal government can indiscriminately print "dollars" and press out coins continually moment upon moment. When a government simply prints money or press out money continually, going beyond, for instance, the process of replacing worn-out money (bills and such), it creates inflation or hyper-inflation, which is bad, since the value of a particular piece of money loses value or buying power. Remember: The "crisis" was caused by the federal government and government-related entities, especially Freddie Mac and Fanny Mae. What is the "hole" to be filled? Is it a hole that had money that businesses used to pay employees? Can you clearly understand what Barack Obama said.]
"...I need everybody here to bring their 'A' game here today. I, I'm going to be asking some tough questions. I will be listening for some good answers. And I don't want to just brainstorm at thirty-thousand feet, I want details, ah, in our discussion today. I'm looking for specific recommendations that can be implemented that will spur on job growth as quickly as possible. I want to be clear, ah, we won't overcome our unemployment challenge in just a few hours this afternoon, ah, I assure you there is extraordinary skepticism that, ah, any discussions like this could actually produce results. I'm well aware of that. Ah, I don't mind skepticism. If I listened to the skeptics, I wouldn't be here. But I am confident that we'll make progress...." [Many media people associated with such entities as CNN, NBC News, MSNBC, and PBS have noted that Barack Obama is a genius or brilliant or very smart. Given that knowledge, a person should ask--Why did Barack Obama have to hold a "job summit?" Since businesses have been operating in the country since the 1700s, millions of people in the country should know how to create jobs, and, certainly, one way is to make profits so that more workers can be hired and so that businesses can try to grow, if they wish to grow (not all business people want their businesses to grow to be the biggest business in the world), and another way in which a business can end up hiring more people is when more citizens in the community ask for what the business has and the business has money by which to hire more people (if more citizens do not ask for what the business has, because the government has taken more taxes from them so that they have less to spend, the business cannot expand and hire more employees.][Note: Bob Schieffer of Face the Nation, a weekly show on CBS-TV, made several comments on the air during a discussion show after Barack Obama spoke on Tuesday, December 1, 2009. On comment that he made was: "...The President always makes a very eloquent speech, but we'll look back on this and say, 'This was the defining moment of the Obama presidency. This was the night when Barack Obama took full ownership of the war in Afghanistan.' What the comment on this speech is going to be all about is 'Is the tragedy itself--how do you on the one hand say, "We need to send these troops over there, it's critical, this is in our national security interest to do this", but then say, ah, "But we're only going to keep them there for eighteen months, we're gonna to start to withdraw them."?' I just don't understand, ah, the logic of how that works...." Another comment, Bob Schieffer made was: "...I don't understand how you can set a deadline. This is not a football game where there's a clock, where the time runs out. To win this war, you have to defeat the enemy. How can you say in the beginning, ah, that we're going to do that, when, when we don't know what's going to happen?" I note these comments, knowing that, generally speaking, Bob Schieffer and other main media types support all the Barack Obama, who is a communist, does, but this time, Bob Schieffer does make a useful comment.]
Tuesday, December 7, 2009 (at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C.):
"...One of the central goals of this administration is restoring fiscal responsibility. The deficit had been building dramatically over the precious eight years. Folks passed tax cuts and expansive entitlement programs without paying for any of it, even as health-care costs kept rising year after year. These budget-busting tax cuts and spending programs were approved by many of the same people who are now waxing political about fiscal responsibility while opposing our efforts to reduce deficits by getting health-care costs under control...." [Well, let me see. Barack Obama in the past year or so--roughly his first year as the President--has tripled the deficit of the country. Now, notice the idea of "budget-busting tax cuts" in his statement. To him, income tax cuts are "budget-busters," and the statement hints to the idea that Barack Obama does not like income tax cuts because the government loses money, and the statement also shows that he thinks a government should not cut back on spending, but people should pay more. Barack Obama is attacking the income tax cuts that were enacted during the U.S. President George W. Bush administration, and the time period for those tax cuts are going to run out soon, and Barack Obama hinted through this statement that he is not going to renew them, which means everyone gets an income tax increase soon.]
"...Our economy is growing for the first time in a year. In the swing from contraction to expansion, since the beginning of the year, is the largest in three decades...." [The statement is a lie, since there has been no real big expansion of the private sector.]
"...Finally, we're no longer seeing the severe deterioration in the job market that we once were. In fact, we learned on Friday that the unemployment rate fell slightly last month...." [Barack Obama said that there was no "severe deterioration in the job market," but Barack Obama said that "unemployment fell slightly last month. Last month was November, when many stores picked up part-time employees (or "seasonal workers") for the holiday period, which runs from about Thanksgiving to Christmas. How many long-term jobs were opened up and filled has yet to be determined.]
"...This is welcome news, and news made possible in part by the up to 1.6 million jobs that the Recovery Act has already created and saved according to the Congressional Budget Office...." [Barack Obama lied. Ask yourself--How did Barack Obama determine that he saved any jobs? Did Barack Obama make a survey of every business in the country to prove that jobs were saved? The country has millions and millions of employers. He could not and did not make a survey. How can you determine what a "save job" is and how many jobs were "saved"?]
"...We held a jobs forum at the White House that brought together small-business owners, CEOs, union members, economists, folks from non-profits, and state and local officials to talk about job creation. And I've asked people to lead forums in their own communities, sending the results to me, so we are hearing as many voices as possible as we refine our proposals. We've already heard a number of good ideas, and I know we'll learn of many more...." [I have not heard of anyone being asked to hold local forums where I have been or have no heard about anyone running local forums about how to create jobs. Businesses create jobs as they have for decades and centuries--they create jobs when people are needed to create more products or offer services or when businesses have money taken in from customers that allow businesses to create more jobs. Anyway, people are too busy working to hold forums in their communities and too busy doing other things to hold forums. Such "forums" are a waste of time, especially given the fact that Barack Obama has shown himself to be a man who does not listen to anyone who promotes capitalism in the country. His statement was more flap doodle.]
"...Launched hastily under the last administration, the TARP program was flawed, and we have worked hard to correct those flaws and manage it properly. TARP is expected cost the taxpayers at least two-hundred-billion dollars less than what was anticipated just this past summer, and the assistance to banks once thought to cost taxpayers untold billions is on track to actually reap billions in profits for the tax-paying public...." [I see many problems with this statement, and I hope you see them, since I will not point them all out. I do note that I am sitting patiently for the "profit" check from Barack Obama. Maybe, it will come tomorrow. Maybe, it will come the next day. Maybe, it will come next week. Maybe, it will come next month. Oh, well.]
"...Even before this particular crisis, much of our growth had been fueled by unattainable consumer debt and reckless financial speculation. But we ignored the fundamental challenges that hold the key to our economic prosperity. We cannot simply go back to the way things used to be. We can't go back to an economy that yielded cycle after cycle of speculative booms and painful busts...." [Businesses cycles have occurred for decades--there are booms, such as when new products (like personal computers) become available, and there are busts, such as when the federal government adversely affects the marketplace, such as by setting up laws that force companies to pay more taxes or to give housing loans to people who will very likely not pay them back.]
"...Now, every night, I read letters and emails sent to me from people across America. The toughest letters are in children's handwriting, kids who can't just be kids because they're worried about moms having their hours cut or dad losing their job or a family without health insurance. These folks aren't looking for a handout. They're not looking for a bailout. All they're looking for is a chance to make their own way, to work, to succeed, using their talents and skills. And they're looking for folks in Washington to have a seriousness of purpose that matches the reality of their struggle...." [I note that all the quotations and statements offered in this document can be found in audio form, such as through the Internet. Of all the statements and quotations presented in this document, this piece is the hardest to show fully for the rottenness that it is without presenting it in audio form. You have to hear the tone of Barack Obama's voice as he says it. The statement made me gag when I first heard it. Yet, even without hearing it, you should understand--Such garbage this man, Barack Obama, is!][Note: On Thursday, December 10, 2009, Barack Obama was in Oslo, Norway, to get a peace prize--that Nobel thing--and he made a speech. So what! I decided to skip the nonsense of the day. You will not miss what he said.]
Tuesday, December 15, 2009 (another speech about health care):
"...We just had a very productive session about the final stages of health-care reform in the Senate, and from the discussions we had, it's clear that we are on the precipice of an achievement that has eluded Congresses and presidents for generations, an achievement that will touch the lives of nearly every American. There are still some differences that have to be worked on. Ah, this is not a role call. Ah, this was a broad-based discussion about how we move forward...." (I could attack much of this, but I will only look at some pieces. Barack Obama said that he is going to give health care to all Americans, so why did he say "nearly all" in the first sentence? Well, I guess he had heard that none of the bills that have been in the U.S. Congress cover everyone. Next, I say--What is "broad-based" to him? It is U.S. Senator Harry Reid, who is the head of the majority party in the U.S. Senate--which is the Democratic Party--who sets the general agenda about how a bill goes through the U.S. Senate, and, certainly, Republicans have no input now. You should look at a big dictionary, such as Webster's Third New International Dictionary, to see what "reform" and "precipice" can mean. I wonder if reform means to Barack Obama to "...cause to abandon an evil manner of living...." as is noted in Webster's Third New International Dictionary as one definition, and I wonder if "precipice" to Barack Obama means "...on the brink of disaster....", resulting in this thought--We are on the brink of disaster of an achievement that has eluded....]
"...This plan will strengthen Medicare and extend the life of that program...." [Since Barack Obama has been shown to be a perpetual liar, he cannot be believed here, especially since it can be shown that about $500 billion is going to be cut from the Medicare program if the national-health-care bill is passed--it is in the bill.]
"...Whatever ideas are, ah, whatever ideas exist in terms of bending the cost curve and starting to reduce costs for families, businesses, and government, those elements are in this bill...." [There are no "elements" that reduce the costs or "bend" the cost curve in the ways that should be done, such by having tort reform provisions. Barack Obama lied again. The national-health-care bill is billions, billions and and billions and billions.... Oh, yes, the bill is going to cut back on Medicare.]
"...These aren't small changes. These are big changes. They represent the most significant reform of our health-care system since the passage of Medicare...." [What did Barack Obama mean by "reform" in this sentence.]
"...Now, a lot of the critics of this entire process fail to note what happens if nothing gets done, and the American people have to be very clear about this. If we don't get this done, your premiums are guaranteed to go up. If this does not get done, more employers are going to drop coverage because they can't afford it. If this does not get done, it is guaranteed that Medicare and Medicaid will blow a hole through our budget. Those things are guaranteed...." [Okay, in life and time, the prices of things go up. If you see my document called Michigan Travel Tips #67, which can be reached at this Travel #67 link, you will see evidence about a man named Don Weber, and it shows that he spent about 35 cents for a breakfast, a lunch, and a dinner in November 1922, and, today, it a breakfast or a lunch or a dinner can cost more than a few dollars (get a $2.99 special), and so goes inflation over time. Recently, the prices have been going up because, for one, big court cases have given out big rewards in malpractice cases. In addition, because of malpractice cases, doctors have had to take up practicing defensive medicine, in which they do extra tests so that they cannot be sued for maybe not doing--in the eyes of judges and jurors, looking in hindsight--something. I say that, sometimes, it is better to do nothing than to do what is bad or wrong!]
"...I am absolutely confident that if the American people knows what's in this bill and if the Senate knows what's in this bill that this is going to pass...." [Note: Around this time, numerous surveys showed the Americans do not want the national-health-care system that is being proposed.]Wednesday, December 16, 2009 (on World News with Charles Gibson):
"...If we don't pass it, here's the guarantee that--the people who are watching tonight--your premiums will go up, your employers are gonna to bloat up more costs on you, potentially they're gonna drop you coverage 'cause they just can't afford an increase of 25, 30 percent in terms of the cost of providing health care to employees each an every year, and the federal government will go bankrupt, because Medicare and Medicaid are on a trajectory that are unsustainable, and this actually provides us the best chance of starting to bend the cost curve on the government expenditures of Medicare and Medicaid...." [The topic was the health-care bill, which was in the U.S. Senate. Barack Obama used scare tactics here and passed on lies. First, Barack Obama did not note when prices would go up 25 percent or 30 percent. Will that happen in fifty years or one-hundred years? You should see the previous entry (December 15, 2009) for my talk about inflation. Notice how Barack Obama was worried about the federal government going bankrupt, but, on December 17, 2009, at the Climate Summit in Copenhagen, Denmark, U.S. Secretary Hillary Clinton made a statement that the Barack Obama administration was willing to provide to the climate-change fund up to $1,000 billion (or one-trillion dollars) by 2020. And the country is already bankrupt, and because of all the great amount of spending that the Barack Obama administration has done since January 20, 2009, a big change inflation is very likely to happen soon, and it will not be good!]
"...The opposition party, ah, has made a political decision that we are going to say 'no' to everything. We're gonna not be at the table. We're gonna just not get involved...." [The Democrats in the US. Congress have for the most part kept Republicans out of the process of crafting federal bills, such as all the health-care bills that have been made public, and, in fact, the Democrats in the U.S. Congress have crafted bills behind closed doors.]Thursday, December 18, 2009 (at the U.N. Climate Summit in Copenhagen, Denmark):
"...We come here in Copenhagen, because climate change poses a great and growing danger to our people. All of you would not be here unless you like me were convinced that this danger is real. This is not fiction; it is science. Unchecked, climate change will pose unacceptable risks to our security, our economies, and our planet. This much we know...." [Barack Obama keeps pushing the climate-change lie, despite the evidence that has showed up to prove the lie--the Climate-gate scandal--and, by the way, on the previous day, four inches of snow had fallen at Copenhagen (it is rare when there is that amount of snow at Copenhagen).]
"...The question then before us is no longer the nature of the challenge, the question is our capacity to meet it. For while the reality of climate change is not in doubt, I have to be honest, as the world watches us today, I think our ability to take collective action is in doubt right now, and it hangs in the balance. I believe we can act boldly and decisively in the face of a common threat. That's why I come here today--not to talk but to act...." [Barack Obama did more lip flapping!]
"...We know the fault lines, because we've been imprisoned by them for years. These international discussions have essentially taken place for almost two decades, and we have very little to show for it other than an increase acceleration of the climate-change phenomenon...." [I am glad nothing has been done, because it is good for the good people of the world.]
"...The time for talk is over...." [And I say, "Then, shut up, Baracky Obamee! Don't think that I am not keeping score, Baracky Obamee!"]Monday, December 21, 2009 (a press conference about the health-care bill):
"...The Congressional Budget Office now reports that this bill will reduce our deficit by a hundred-and-thirty-two-billion dollars over the first decade and by as much as one-point-three-trillion dollars in the decade after that. So, I just want to be clear for all those who are, ah, continually carping about how this is somehow a big spending government bill. This cuts our deficit by hundred-and-thirty-two-billion dollars the first ten years and by over a trillion in the second. That argument that opponents are making against this bill does not hold water...." [Remember this lie!]
"...When my administration walked through the door, the country faced a growing economic downturn as well as a deepening fiscal hole. Washington had passed massive tax cuts for the wealthy and an expensive new entitlement program without paying for any of it. Health-care costs continued to rise year after year, and little effort was made to cut wasteful spending. As a result, over the previous eight years, the nek, the national debt doubled--doubled. As I've said, in the long run, we can't continue to spend as if deficits don't have consequences, as if waste doesn't matter, as if the hard-earned tax dollars of the American people can be treated like Monopoly money. That's what we've seen time and time again...." [And that is yet more crap from the mind of Barack Obama.][Note: On Thursday, January 7, 2010, Barack Obama spoke to the nation in the afternoon about national security; on December 25, 2009, there had been an attempted bombing of an airliner over the Detroit area of Michigan.]
Friday, January 8, 2010 (a press conference):
"...The jobs numbers that were released by the Labor Department this morning are a reminder that the road to recovery is never straight, and that we have to continue to work every single day to get our economy moving again. For most Americans and for me, that means jobs. It means whether we are putting people back to work. And jobs loses for the last quarter of 2009 were one-tenth of what we were experiencing in the first quarter. In fact, in November, we saw the first gain in jobs in nearly two year. Ah, last month, however, we slipped back, losing more jobs than we gained, though the overall trend of job loss is still pointing in the right direction...." [Keep this statement in mind, and let us see what happens in reality in the months to come.]Wednesday, January 13, 2010 (a press conference):
"...I have directed my administration to respond with a swift, coordinated, and aggressive effort to save lives. The people of Haiti will have the full support of the United States in the urge effort to rescue those trapped beneath the rubble and to deliver the humanitarian relief, the food, water, and medicine that Haitians will need in the coming days...." [This statement was made about twenty-four hours after a really big earthquake hit Haiti, and I say that he got a real "crisis," which he can now exploit, showing himself as a compassionate leader and a savior.]Thursday, January 14, 2010 (a press conference):
"...Banks owe their continued existence to the American people. Folks who have not been made whole and who continue to face real hardship in this recession. We want our money back! And we're gonna get it! And that's why I'm proposing a Financial Responsibility Fee to be imposed on major financial firms until the American people are fully compensated for the extraordinary assistance they provided to Wall Street...." [Notice how he wants you to think all the banks in the country owe their existence to the American people, and that is nonsense, since many banks did not need TARP money, such as many, many local banks. Now, here we go. In 2008, some big banking firms were forced to take TARP money, even when they said that they did not need it and did not want it. Financial firms have paid back or paid back much of the money from TARP. Remember: The underlying problem with the financial crisis that really hit home in 2008 was caused by the federal government, as I show in my document entitled THOUGHTS AND PIECES OF LOGIC for the individual woman and the individual man, which can be reached by using this Logic link. If you look on the Internet, you will find stories that note when financial institutions paid back TARP money, but I do not list the stories here. By the way, I heard anger in Barack Obama's voice, but I could not portray that anger through the text, of course. (Walsh, Fiona. "How Paulson forced bail-out on the banks." The Guardian (the United Kingdom), 15 October 2008, 07:37 BST; Weisanthal, Joe. "Documents Reveal How Paulson Forced Banks to Take TARP Cash." The Business Insider, 13 May 2009, 8:25 p.m.)]
"...Our goal is not to punish Wall Street firms, but rather to prevent the abuse and excess that nearly caused the collapse of many of these firms in the financial system itself. We cannot go back to business as usual, and when we see reports of firms once again engaging in risky bets to reap quick rewards, when we see a return to compensation practices that seem not to reflect what the country's been through, all that looks like business as usual to me...." [Here, Barack Obama ran through more cliché talk and lies, and you should see Barack Obama is trying to make you think the enemy is the financial industry and he is going to save the day on your behalf.]
"...We're already hearing the human cry from Wall Street suggesting that this proposed fee is not only unwelcome but unfair, that by some twisted logic it is more appropriate for the American people to bare the cost of the bailout, rather than the industry that benefited from it, even though these executives are out there givin' themselves huge bonuses. What I'd say to these executives is this--Instead of sending a phalanx of lobbyists to fight this proposal or employing an army of lawyers and accountants to help evade the fee, I suggest you might want to consider meeting your responsibility...." [Barack Obama spoke--the thug spoke. Do you hear the tactics of a thug should in the three sets of quoted material? You should! Do you hear his attempt to coerce bankers and such? You should! And do you hear the tactics of a communist and a Marxist and, really, a Fascist who wants to control the banking business? I hope you do! Barack Obama showed again he is dangerous for the country.]Sunday, January 17, 2010 (on the campaign trail for a Democratic U.S. Senate candidate (Martha Coakey) in Boston, Massachusetts):
"...I've heard about some of the ads that, dah, Martha's opponent's running. He's drivin' his truck around the commonwealth. Ah, and, dah, and he says that he'll, you know, that he gets ya, that he fights for ya, that he'll be an independent voice. And, he, he, I don't know him, he may be a perfectly nice guy. I, I don't know his record. Ah, but, I, I, I, I don't know whether he's been fightin' for you up until now...." [This set of words from Barack Obama came not from a script on a teleprompter. Go back and read the words aloud. Notice the sentence pattern. Notice how the speech is sloppy, and some of the words were not pronounced fully or correctly, and you should see the stuttering he did. In jest, I say, "Does he not sound as if he were a true genius?]Wednesday, January 20, 2010 (interviewed by George Stephanopoulos of Good Morning America of ABC-TV):
"...The same thing that swept Scott Brown into office swept me into office. People are angry and and they're frustrated, not just because what's happened in the last year or two years but what's happened over the last eight years...." [On Tuesday, January 19, 2010, a man named Scott Brown, who was calling himself a Republican and had announced that he would not vote for the health-care bill being debated in the U.S. Senate, was elected to be a U.S. Senator related to Massachusetts, taking up the seat that had been held by Edward Kennedy, and this was a statement that Barack Obama made about the election. Scott Brown won because he had run as a man who was opposed to what Barack Obama and high-ranking Democrats in the U.S. Congress were trying to push on the country, and that is fact. Yet, notice how Barack Obama tried to suggest that people were angry because of former U.S. President George W. Bush.]Friday, January 22, 2010 (at a town-hall meeting in Elyria, Ohio):
"...I walked into office a year ago, in the middle of a raging economic storm that was wrecking devastation on your town and communities everywhere. We had to take some very difficult steps to deal with that mess, to stave off an even greater economic catastrophe. We had to stabilize the financial system, which, given the role of the big banks in creating this mess, was a pretty tough pill to swallow. I knew it would be unpopular and rightly so. But I also knew that we had to do it because, if they went down, your local banks would have gone down, and, if the financial system went down, it would have taken the entire economy and millions more families and businesses with it. So we would have been looking at a second Great Depression...." [Notice how Barack Obama lied by saying that the big banks caused the mess, but Barack Obama did not talk about how Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were instrumental in the creating the mess. Notice how Barack Obama gave no proof that the financial system of the country was surely going to crash, and Barack Obama never has. Notice how Barack Obama put out the biggest possible scenario of catastrophe so that he could make you think he is justified in doing what he has done and is doing.]
"...I want to make this absolutely clear. I did not run for president to turn away from these challenges. I didn't run to kick these challenges down the road. I ran to confront them once and for all. I ran for this office to rebuild our economy so it works not just for the fortunate few but for everybody who's willing to work hard...." [This set of sentences shows three big problems with Barack Obama. First, the town-hall meeting was supposed to be about "jobs," but he talked a lot about himself. Second, for decades and decades and decades, the economy of this country has worked for most people--it has not worked for only a "few," as Barack Obama suggested--so Barack Obama passed along crap. In fact, I ask, "Who are the "few" that Barack Obama is talking about? Look around! Most people have jobs and can pay bills. There are houses all over the place, and there are cars all over the place, and there are businesses all over the place. Anyway, in Barack Obama's mind, what is considered the proper "working" state for the economy, and what form would he change it into?]
"...I want you to understand. This is not about me!" There was crowd noise. "This is not about me! This is about you! This is not about me, this is about you! I didn't take this up to boost my poll numbers. You know the way to boost your poll numbers is not do anything. That's how you do it! You don't offend anybody! I'd have real high poll numbers! All of Washington would be saying, 'What a genius.'..." [I say in jest, "The genius has talked about himself again."]
"...So long as I have, ah, some breath in me, so long as I have the privilege of serving as your President, I will not stop fighting for you. I will take my lumps. But I won't stop fighting to bring back jobs here. I won't stop fighting for an economy where hard work is rewarded. I won't stop fighting to make sure there's accountability in our financial system. I'm not going to stop fighting until we have jobs for everybody...." [Does this not sound as if Barack Obama is at a union meeting and is trying to rally dumb workers, people who would be taken in by such nonsense? I can almost see the scene of a movie here--maybe one with Sylvester Stallone around by a bunch of guys with shovels held high in the air. Then, I note that there has been accountability in the financial system for decades and decades and decades--(1) operators of companies get fired for doing poorly, (2) companies have to follow state laws and federal laws related to many subjects, such as accounting practices, (3) companies that issue stock have stockholders who can vote on policies, (4) stockholders of companies that have stockholders can press to have executives fired, et cetera. Also, it is impossible for everyone in a country to be employed, because, for example, people change jobs and businesses have hard times, especially the hard times caused by government, such as an increase in taxes.]
"...We're having a fight right now, 'cause I want to charge Wall Street a modest fee to repay taxpayers in full for saving their skins in a time of need. We want our money back! We want our money back! And we're going get your money back, every dime, each and every dime!..." [For the most part, companies--banks, for example--that took TARP money or were forced to take TARP money have paid back the money and interest on the money, so what is the reason for the "modest fee" that Barack Obama wants to charge them? What is a "modest fee" in Barack Obama's mind? If a modest fee is charged banks, that can mean the banks will have less revenue with which to use to pay as interest on savings accounts or money market accounts, so Barack Obama is hurting investors in banks, such as, maybe, you, but that is the way of the Marxist or the communist! Oh, if Barack Obama gets the money back, how and when is he going to get your share to you?]
"...Now, I'm not going to walk away just because it's hard. We are going to keep on working to get this done with Democrats--I hope with Republicans--anybody who is willing to step up...." [Here, Barack Obama was talking about his hoped-for a national-health-care system, and Barack Obama was sending out a message something like--Come on and step up and join my communism/Marxism push, and yes, be willing to join by communism/Marxism push and be thought of as a person who was willing to step up.]
"...We just went through a decade where we were told that it didn't matter--we'll just, you, you just keep on importing, buying stuff from other countries, you just take out a home-equitity loan and max out your credit card, and everything's going to be Okay, and it looked for a lot of people like--'Well, the economy seems to be growin'--but it was all built on a house of cards. That's what we now know...." [I will let you examine this piece of whatever for yourself.]Monday, January 25, 2010:
"...Now, we all know what that American Dream is. It's the idea that, in America, we can make our lives what we will. It's the idea that, if you work hard can live up to your responsibilities, you can get ahead and enjoy some of the basic guarantees in life--a good job that pays a good wage, health care that will be there when you get sick, a secure retirement, even if you're not rich, an education that will give our kids a better life than we had...." [There is not much that I can say about this set of sentences, but I have to say that I think Barack Obama simply said this as filler material, what he might consider a collection of clichés. Oh, I wonder if Barack Obama is aware that Americans who pursue the American Dream, except for some people employed in government, do not do that by looking for government to provide the American Dream. However, I can argue well that Barack Obama seeks his American Dream, which I think is a distorted American Dream, through the federal government by making an oppression federal government.]
"...Unfortunately, the middle class has been under assault for a long time. Too many Americans have known their own painful recessions, long before any economists declared that were was a recession. We've just come through what was one of most difficult decades the middle class has ever faced, a decade in which median income fell and our economy lost about as many jobs as it gained...." [Haiti, Cuba, and Saudi Arabia are only a few of the many countries--bad countries--in the world that are set up as societies truly made up of "classes"--(1) the rich rulers and (2) all others, who are often basically poor. The United States of America is not a country in which people are born in a certain level of society and stay there. In addition, I ask, "Who does Barack Obama think is the middle class in the United States of America?" For example, people do all types of jobs, and people can take up completely new types of work from one day to the next, and sons and daughters are not locked into taking up the types of jobs held by their parents, and, yet, today, people in the United States of America are able remove from office people who they think are bad politicians, who then can be considered no longer in what Barack Obama might call the "ruling class." And Barack Obama lied--there has not been a ten-year-long recession in the country, but there has been at least a several-year-long recession in Michigan.]
"...Creating good sustainable jobs is the single most important thing we can do to rebuild the middle class, and I won't rest until we're doing just that. But we also need to reverse the overall erosion in middle-class security so that when this economy does come back, working Americans are free to purpose their dreams again...." [This set of sentences has a bunch of problems. A government cannot create sustainable jobs, except, maybe, government jobs, but even in that case, a person can be fired (one way in which could be for having the wrong political affiliation). No one can guarantee any job will last! The world changes, and jobs can disappear (for example, one is making the Underwood TM-Five typewriter anymore, and no one is making the car known as the Packard, and no on is making tube checkers for home use, and on one is making 8088 IBM computers). Jobs can last for years and years, though. How do you reverse erosion before the economy picks up? Who are the "we" that he talked about? He was probably thinking of "me." And Americans are not waiting for the economy to improve before they begin to pursue their dreams again, since people are always pursuing their dreams.]
"...Hopefully some of these steps will re-establish some of the security that's slipped away in recent years, because, in the end, that's how Joe [Vice President Joseph Biden] and I measure progress, not by how the markets are doing but by how the American people are doing. It's about whether they see some progress in their own lives. So we're gonna keep fighting to rebuild our economy so that hard work is once again rewarded, wages and incomes are once again rising, and the middle class is once again growing...." [Try these thoughts. I say in jest, "Yes, sometime back, the idea that people do not get rewarded for working hard became commonplace, and, now, in America, people are no longer rewarded for working hard." You might ask, based on what Barack Obama said: "How can Barack Obama guarantee your hard work will be rewarded?" I can prove the federal government is hurting the economy and the private sector, and since the federal government is hurting the economy and the private sector, you should see Barack Obama's "fight to rebuild our economy" does not mean he is going to fight to improve the economy but fight to "rebuild" it into what it has never been, such as a Marxist-based economic system, in which the government controls or owns everything.]Wednesdsay, January 27, 2010 (a State of the Union speech, give in the chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives):
"...For these Americans and so many others, change has not come fast enough. Some are frustrated. Some are angry. They don't understand why it seems like bad behavior on Wall Street is rewarded but hard work on Main Street isn't or why Washington has been unable or unwilling to solve any of our problems. They're tired of the partisanship and the shouting and the pettiness...." [This set of words was one of the early sets of words spoken by Barack Obama this night, and it is the first of thirty-three sets of words that show evidence of how Barack Obama lies, how Barack Obama attacks America, such as the U.S. Supreme Court, et cetera. I could have put in more than thirty-three sets of words, but there comes a time when a person has to say, "That is enough garbage to go through." So, what does this first set of words show? It shows, for one, another attack on Wall Street and the business community of the country. It also shows Barack Obama's attempt to say that people on Main Street do not get rewarded for their hard work, and that is a lie.]
"...And what the American people hope, what they deserve is for all of us--Democrats and Republicans--to work through our differences, to overcome the weight of our politics...." [Today, the Democratic Party is filled with and run by Marxists, hard-left socialists, and communists, such as Barack Obama, and if people, such as the conservatives in the Republican Party, do not fight against the Democrats, the country will be hurt for decades to come through the political ideologies, such as communism, that have hurt millions of people all over the world and that the Democrats want to install in this country.]
"...In this new decade, it's time the American people get a government that matches their decency, that embodies their strength...." ["Decency"--keep this word in mind. See my document entitled THE CRUD AROUND BARACK OBAMA: My Rule--"Like Minds Get Together", which shows the quality of the people whom Barack Obama has surrounded himself with and does surround himself with, and some of those people are tax cheats and sexual deviants. Yet, Barack Obama brought out the idea of decency. To see the document that I have referred to, use this link: Crud.]
"...Our most urgent task upon taking office was to shore up the same banks that helped cause this crisis. It was not easy to do. And if there's one thing that has unified Democrats and Republicans and everybody in between is that we all hated the bank bailout. I hated it. I hated it. I hated it. You hated it. It was about a popular as a root canal...." [Barack Obama got a laugh with this statement. Let me make note about a root canal, which may be or is probably unknown to Barack Obama. A root canal is only difficult for a patient when the tooth that is being worked on is already infected and there is pain. I had a root canal done, and it was not painful, and, by the way, a portion of the tiny drill broke off during the procedure, and it yet remains in the tooth. The joke did not work well with me, and one reason for that is I know the banks were not the root cause of the economic crisis--Freddie Mac and Franny Mae were.]
"...And if we had allowed the meltdown of the financial system, unemployment might be double what it is today. More businesses would certainly have closed. More homes would have surely been lost. So I supported the last administration's efforts to create the financial rescue program, and when we took over, we made it more transparent and more accountable, and, as a result, the markets are now stabilized, and we recovered most of the money, we spent on the banks--most but not all. To recover the rest, I proposed a fee on the biggest banks. Now, I know Wall Street isn't keen on this idea, but if these firms can afford to hand out big bonuses again, they can afford a modest fee to pay back the taxpayers who rescued them in their time of need...." [Well, most of the banks that had ties to TARP money repaid the TARP money and the required interest. I do believe others that have to pay back TARP money and pay the required interest will as scheduled, so if the federal government imposes a tax on them, they still have to pay the TARP money and the interest and they will also have pay more--the tax. It seems very likely to me that action will reduce the return on investments that investors in those banks will get. What proof does Barack Obama have that the actions of the federal government in 2008 stopped the unemployment figure from being double today. When Barack Obama was trying to pass the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in early 2009, Barack Obama said that the unemployment rate would not go higher than eight percent if it were passed, but once the defective act was passed, the unemployment rate went above ten percent, and the general unemployment rate is yet around ten percent.]
"...That's why we extended or increased unemployment benefits for more than eighteen-million Americans, made health insurance sixty-five-percent cheaper for families who get their coverage through COBRA, and passed twenty-five different tax cuts. Now, let me repeat. We cut tax. We cut taxes for ninety-five percent of working families, we cut taxes for small businesses, we cut taxes for first-time home buyers, we cut taxes for parents trying to care for their children, we cut taxes for eight-million Americans paying for college...." [Ugh!]
"...And we haven't raised income taxes by a single dime on a single person--not a single dime...." [This statement is wrong. For one, some people working in the financial industry had their income taxes raised, but I will not turn push the idea about "income taxes." I have to note that Barack Obama has being working to push through legislation, such as a national-health-care bill and cap-and-trade bill, that would raise so many other fees on Americans.]
"...Now, because of the steps we took, there are about two-million Americans working right now who would otherwise be unemployed. Two-hundred-thousand work in construction and clean energy. Three-hundred thousand are teachers and other education workers. Tens of thousands are cops, firefighters, correctional officers, first responders. And we're on track to add another one-and-a-half-million jobs to this total by the end of the year...." [It has been shown that, in 2009, employment increased in government but not in the private sector. Notice, how Barack Obama only pointed to government-related people in the set of words. So far, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has been used to support or prop up states, such as California and Michigan, that could not control their budgets and are, in essence, bankrupt, or the act has been used to keep bad state politicians in power, and the act has not really been used to help the private-sector of the economy.]
"...Economists on the left and the right say this bill has helped save jobs and avert disaster, but you don't have to take their word for it, talk to the small business in Phoenix that will triple its workforce because of the Recovery Act, talk to the window manufacturer in Philadelphia who said he used to be skeptical about the Recovery Act until he had to add two more work shifts just because of the business it created...." [I could talk a while about this one, but I will only leave you with this thought. By presenting a few examples of increased employment, did Barack Obama really tell the truth about how the Recovery Act (the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) is working? There could be ten cases or one-hundred cases or a million cases that counter his argument. Since the unemployment rate, basically, rose continually from the date that the act was made law in February 2009 to the end of 2009, you should wonder how Barack Obama can make any statement like that which he made.]
"...And after two years of recession, the economy is growing again...." [Barack Obama lied here.]
"...Now, the true engine of job creation in this country will always be America's businesses...." [Wow! I am shocked! Barack Obama actually said this. But does he believe it or does he care?]
"...When you talk to small businesses in places like Allentown, Pennsylvania, or Elyria, Ohio, you find out that, even though banks on Wall Street are lending again, they're mostly lending to bigger companies. Financing remains difficult for small-business owners across the country, even those that are making a profit. So, tonight, I'm proposing that we take thirty-billion dollars of the money Wall Street banks have repaid and use it to help community banks give small businesses the credit they need to stay afloat...." [Yell out in horror here! If community banks get involved in this program, the federal government will have some control in them. Barack Obama has shown that he is a type of man who wants government to control or own the banks in a country. If businesses get involved with this money, would the federal government--Barack Obama--have some control of them? Look at what happened to General Motors and Chrysler in 2009. And a business that does not pay back such a loan or cannot pay back such as loan could end up being owned by someone beholden to Barack Obama. Look at what happened to General Motors and Chrysler.]
"...I'm also proposing a new small-business tax credit, one that will go to over one-million small businesses who hire new workers or raise wages...." [A business hires someone when it has enough money to hire the someone, and, most often, to hire a full-time employee, a company will have to spend (in wages, health care, workers' compensation insurance, whatever, et cetera) anywhere from $10,000 to $50,000 or more. If the tax credit is $3,000 or $4,000 for one employee (which are figures that have been proposed in the past) in relation to one year, but the cost to have an employee could cost a company $10,000 or $20,000 or $30,000 or more a year, a company will not hire anyone till the company has enough revenue to cover the cost of having the employee.]
"...But the truth is these steps won't make up for the seven-million jobs that we've lost over the last two years. The only way to move to full employment is to lay a new foundation for long-term economic growth and finally address the problems that America's families have confronted for years. We can't afford another so-called economic expansion like the one from the last decade, what some call the "Lost Decade," where jobs grew more slowly than during any prior expansion, where the income of the average American household declined while the cost of health-care tuition reached record highs, where prosperity was built on a housing bubble and financial speculation...." [An expansion is an expansion! No expansion is no expansion! So, is Barack Obama putting down the expansion? I have heard the Democrats note that the U.S. President George W. Bush years were a time of recession all the time, but, here, Barack Obama said that there was expansion. Something does not make sense. Also, what is Barack Obama's "new foundation"? Maybe, Barack Obama's new foundation is a structure in which the government owns and controls all businesses. By the way, I have not heard anyone say that the last decade was the "Lost Decade," but I have heard about how the 1990s are thought of as the "Lost Decade" for Japan.]
"...It's time to get serious about fixing the problems that are hampering our growth. Now one place to start is serious financial reform. Look. I am not interested in punishing banks, I'm interested in protecting our economy. A strong health financial market makes it possible for businesses to access credit and create new jobs, it channels the savings of families as investments that raise incomes. But that can only happen if we guard against the same recklessness that nearly brought down our entire economy. We need to make sure consumers and middle-class families have the information they need to make financial decisions. We can't allow financial institutions, including those that take your deposits, to take risks that threaten the whole economy...." [Here was more crap from Barack Obama. Since the 1700s, businesses, such as banks, have taken risks with the money that was tied to them, such as that related to savings accounts. For example, one type of risk has been the lending money to a man who had the idea for a new business, which may to well or may not, and another type of risk has been lending millions to a business to buy another business, which might be failing, and yet another type of risk has been lending millions to build a subdivision of one-thousand homes. How does Barack Obama know what type of risk can affect an entire economy and how can he set limits?]
"...and that means building a new generation of safe clean nuclear power plants in this country. It means making tough decisions about opening offshore areas for oil and gas development. It means continued investment in advanced biofuels and clean coal technologies. And, yes, it means passing a comprehensive energy and climate bill with incentives that will finally make clean energy the profitable kind of energy in America...." [At this point, the cap-and-trade bill does not promoted coal technologies and nuclear power plants. Research about Barack Obama shows that he does not support coal technology or nuclear-power technology--he supports windmills and solar cells. Here, Barack Obama passed along crap!]
"...I know that there are those who disagree with the overwhelming scientific evidence on climate change, but, but here's the thing, even if you doubt the evidence, providing incentives for energy efficiency and clean energy are the right thing to do for our future, because the nation that leads the clean-energy economy will be the nation that leads the global economy, and America must be that nation...." [You are urged to see my document entitled "CAP AND TRADE" and Carbon Dioxide Facts and Nonsense, which shows information about "Climate-gate" and which can be reached by using this link: Carbon. Since manmade climate change or manmade global warming is a hoax, the potential for a country to be a big deal while leading the way in clean energy industries is defective and not likely. Who are going to be the buyers--countries--of the products and services. You are urged to see my document entitled The Power and the Power Killers: Energy in the United States of America, which shows how the wind-turbine-farm idea is going to be a failure and which can be reached by using this link: Power.]
"...So tonight we set a new goal, we will double our exports over the next five years, an increase that will support two-million jobs America...." [The private-sector economy is stalled (if not dying) because of government policies, so how are we going to meet that goal? I guess Barack Obama is going to "will it" in someway or "will it" like a God might]
"...That's why I urge the Senate to follow the House and pass a bill that will revitalize our community colleges, which are a career pathway for the children of so many working families. To make college more affordable, this bill will finally end the unwarranted taxpayer subsidies that go to banks for student loans. Instead, let's take that money and give families a ten-thousand-dollar tax credit for four years of college and increase Pell Grants. And let's tell another one-million students that when they graduate, they will be required to pay only ten percent of their income on student loans and all of their debt will be forgiven after twenty years and forgiven after ten years if they choose a career in public service, because, in the United States of America, no one should go broke because they choose to go to college...." [This is a scary piece of thought, and I could talk about a number of topics, but I will only talk about the worst. Notice how Barack Obama set up the idea that people would not have to pay back loans. And, beyond that, people who go into the public sector--the government--would get a better deal than those who do into the private sector. Welcome to the communist state!]
"...And, and it is precisely to relieve the burden on middle-class families that we still need health-insurance reform...." [It is publicly known that a majority of the people in the country do not want the health-care bills that Barack Obama has been pushing for about a year, but Barack Obama is still pushing for his reform.]
"...Now, let's clear a few things up. I didn't choose to tackle issue to get some legislative victory under my belt, and by now it should be fairly obvious that I didn't take on health care because it was good politics...." [Ugh!]
"...It would reduce costs and premiums for millions of families and businesses. And according to the Congressional Budget Office--the independent organization that both parties have cited as the official score keeper for Congress--our approach would bring down the deficit by as much as one-trillion dollars over the next decade...." [This lie about a national-health-care system would take a while to show up, but keep in mind, Barack Obama is trying to create another "entitled program," sort of like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, and entitled programs never meet the predictions about them, and, in fact, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid can be considered bankrupt.]
"...There's a reason why many doctors, nurses, and health-care experts, who know our system best, consider this approach a vast improvement over the status quo. But if anyone from either party has a better approach that will bring down premiums, bring down the deficit, cover the uninsured, strengthen Medicare for seniors, and stop insurance company abuses, let me know. Let me know! Let me know!. I eager to see it...." [Here is publicly known fact: To date, Republicans have been all but locked out of the construction process of the health-care bills and, in fact, they have even been physically locked out the process much of the time. Barack Obama does not listen to the ideas of others! This set of words is more crap from the defective mind of Barack Obama.]
"...So let me start the discussion on government spending by setting the record straight. At the beginning of the last decade, the year 2000, America had a budget surplus of over two-hundred-billion dollars. By, by the time I took office, we had a one-year deficit of over one-trillion dollars and projected deficits of eight-trillion dollars over the next decade. Most of this was the result of not paying for two wars, two tax cuts, and an expensive prescription-drug program. On top of that, the effects of a recession put a three-trillion-dollar hole in our budget. All this was before I walked in the door. Now, now. Just statin' the facts! Now, if we had taken office in ordinary times, I would have liked nothing more than to start bringing down the deficit. But we took office amid a crisis, and our efforts to prevent a second Depression have added another one-trillion dollars to our national debt. That too is a fact! I'm absolutely convinced that was the right thing to do...." [And it is a fact that, in essence, Barack Obama has tripled the debt and is not done, having about three more years to spend money!]
"...So, tonight, I'm proposing specific steps to pay for the trillion dollars that it took to rescue the economy last year. Starting in 2011, we are prepared to freeze government spending for three years. Spending related to our national security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security will not be affected. But all other discretionary government programs will. Like any cash-strapped family, we will work within a budget to invest in what we need and sacrifice what we don't...." [Three big budget killers each year are Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, and Barack Obama is not working to take care of them, such as by weeding out the corruption (certainly, over the years, you have heard about fraud incidents related to this "entitlement' programs). Ask yourself: What is a spending freeze? You are strongly urged to see my document entitled THOUGHTS AND STATEMENTS ABOUT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA for the individual woman and the individual man, since it talks about "zero-line budgeting" and "baseline budgeting" under the section known as "Thought Number Four," and it can be reached by using this link: Thought.]
"...We will continue to go through the budget line by line, page by page to eliminate programs that we can't afford and don't work. We've already identified twenty-billion dollars in savings for next year. To help working families, we'll extend our middle-class tax cuts. But at a time of record deficits, we will not continue tax cuts for oil companies, for investment fund managers, and for those making over two-hundred-fifty-thousand dollars year. We just can't afford it!...." [We have heard this before, some of it for over a year. Wow! You should ask: Barack Obama has "identified," but has Barack Obama removed? By the way, he has spent trillions of dollars that he should not have, and he is working to save twenty-billiion dollars. Just great! I say that, in Barack Obama's mind, it is still--attack those executives--and I say that Barack Obama is so jealous of such executives that he has to knock them down in his mind all the time to make himself look better in his mind and make him look better than the executives in the minds of the people or his people or the little people. Sick, is it not? A sign of a really ill mind, it is not?]
"Now, even after paying for what we spent on my watch, we'll still face the massive deficit we have when I took office. More importantly, the cost of Medicare Medicaid, and Social Security will continue to skyrocket. That's why I've called for a bipartisan fiscal commission, modeled on a proposal by Republican Judd Gregg and Democrat Kent Conrad. This can't be one of those Washington gimmicks that let's us pretend we solve a problem. The commission will have to provide a specific set of solutions by a certain deadline. Now, yesterday, the Senate blocked a bill the created this commission. So, I'll issue an Executive Order that will allow us to go forward, because I refuse to pass this problem onto another generation of Americans...." [Such nonsense this idea is. Since the 1700s, the U.S. Congress and the U.S. President have had the responsibility to create bills and acts and deal with the budgets; for instance, the U.S. Congress has committees that are supposed to deal with money, and the U.S. President can veto bills with too much spending. Now, Barack Obama wants some type of board to exist, though, as a matter of law, it will still be up the U.S. Congress and the U.S. President to sign "yes" or "no" to spending and to bills. Really, the proposed committee will do nothing, unless Barack Obama can make the committee "the entity" under his control that decides all spending and he can get rid of the U.S. Congress, at least in relation to matters on spending.]
"...That's why we've excluded lobbyists from policy making jobs or seats on federal boards and commissions. But we can't stop there. It's time to require lobbyists to disclose each contact they make on behalf of a client with my administration or we Congress. It's a time to put strict limits on the contributions that lobbyists give to candidates for federal office. With all due deference to separation of powers, last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests, including foreign corporations, to spend without limit in our elections. I don't think American elections should be bankrolled by America's most powerful interests or worse by foreign entities. They should be decided by the American people, and I urge Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps correct some of these problems...." [Let me show two things that happened at the same time. At one point during the speech, Barack Obama was saying: "...including foreign corporations, to spend without limit...." Meanwhile, the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court were sitting, in essence, in front of Barack Obama, and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was sitting at the far left of the group of the U.S. Supreme Court Justices (as seen by television viewers), and Samuel Alito nodded his head "no" and mouthed some words, two of which were: "..not true."]
"...As we take the fight to al Qaeda, we are responsibility leaving Iraq to its people. As a candidate, I promised that I would end this war, and that is what I'm doing as President. We will have all of our combat troops out of Iraq by the end of this August. We will support, we will support the Iraqi government, we will support the Iraqi government as they hold elections, and we will continue to partner with the Iraqi people to promote regional peace and prosperity. But make no mistake--This war is ending, and all of our troops are coming home...." [I put this here to simply note that he gave a firm date. Now, let us see what happens in real life.]
"...Tonight, all of our men and women in uniform in Iraq, in Afghanistan, and around the world, they have to know that we, that, tha, tha they have our respect, our gratitude, our full support...." [This set of words was truly telling. Barack Obama was using a teleprompter, and he made few mistakes, most of which were very, very small. Since I have done broadcasting on the airwaves of Michigan for about thirty-two years, I can detect errors, even very slight errors, when someone is announcing or talking. When trying to say this set of words, Barack Obama made a clear error--a big error. It sounded as if Barack Obama were trying to say something that he did not believe, and Barack Obama's defective mind caused him to stumble.]
"...This year, I will work with Congress and our military to finally repeal the law that denies gay Americans the right to serve the country they love because of who they are. It's the right thing to do..." [I make no comment here; I simply note that it was said.]
"...Every day, Americans meet their responsibilities to their families and their employers. Time and again, they lend a hand to their neighbors and give back to their country. They take pride in their labor and are generous in spirit. These aren't Republican values or Democratic values that they're living by, business values or labor values, they're American values. Unfortunately, too many of our citizens have lost faith that our biggest institutions--our corporations, our media, and, yes, our govenment--still reflect these same values. Each of these institutions are full of honorable men and women, doing important work that helps our country prosper. But each time a CEO rewards himself for failure or a banker puts the rest of us at risk for his own selfish gain, people's doubts grow...." [Here was another attack on the banker and business owner and what is made by such a person, and here was another attempt to fuel some type of class hatred. So, are you smart enough to get such a complex job as a bank president job and, to do well in the job, which will allow you to keep the job and not be fired? I do not believe Barack Obama is smart enough to do such work!]
"...We don't quit! I don't quit! Let's seize this moment to start anew, to carry the dream forward and to strengthen our union once more...." [Yes, no matter how defective the ideas, the defective mind of Barack Obama will press on. Barack Obama does not quit! And we thank you for the warning that tells us that we have to continue to fight against you and we have to push you deeper into the ground.]Friday, January 29, 2009 (in Baltimore, Maryland, for "Republican House Retreat");
"...I want us to have a constructive debate. The only thing I don't want--and here I am listening to the American people and I think don't want either--is for Washington ta continue being so Washington-like. I know folks, ah, when we're in, in town there, ah, spending a lot of time reading the polls and looking at focus groups and interpreting which party has the upper hand in November and in 2012 and so on, and so on, so on. That their obsession. And I'm not a pundit, I'm just a President, so take it for what it's worth...." [Barack Obama went to this event without his teleprompter. If you examine this section, you will find flubs, and you will find that, when he does not have a teleprompter, he does not speak so smoothly after all, and, in fact, you will find rambling. What I could not show through this section, though, is how Barack Obama stalled and hesitated between some words. By the way, much of this section presents ideas related to health-care legislation, and, to date, Barack Obama has for the most part used no ideas of the Republicans--Barack Obama does not listen to anyone who does not follow his political ideology.]
"...We've seen party-line votes that--I just going to be honest--ah, were disappointing. Let's start with our efforts to jump start the economy last winter. We were losing seven-hundred-thousand jobs a month, our financial system teetered on the brink of collapse, and the threat of a second Great Depression loomed large. I didn't understand then, ah, and I still don't understand, ah, why, ah, we got opposition in this caucus. As I recall, the opposition was declared even before we had a chance to actually meet and exchange ideas. The latest GDP numbers show that our economy is growing by almost six percent. That's the most since 2003. This turn around is the biggest in nearly three decades. And it didn't happen by accident...." [In late 2008 and early 2009, Barack Obama's actual policies were not to blame, but his announced intentions did hurt the economy, and those announced proposed policies--those that might be offered up by a Marxist or a hard-left socialist--scared the business community, and the stock markets went down, and business operators began hiring freezes or laid off people, fearing trouble for their businesses in the near future, and that caused businesses to cut back on expenses, such as the cost of employees. By the way, the GDP number for the fourth quarter is what Barack Obama was referring to, and that number had been announced hours earlier as 5.7 percent (Rugaber, Christopher S. "Economic growth my slow as spending stalls." Detroit Free Press, 30 January 2010, p. 9A.). The GDP figure is defective, but I will not explain why here. You should see the entry for October 29, 2009, which shows how GDP figures can be downgraded later. Anyway, November and December are holiday months, and they do not really reflect what a year did or a coming year will be; remember, by the way, people are hired for temporary holiday jobs in November and December. Sometime in the future, this entry will be adjusted when new information about the GDP is released.]
"...We had lost six-hundred-fifty-thousand jobs in December. Ah I'm assuming, ah, you're not faulting my policies for that We had lost--it turns out--seven-hundered-thousand jobs in January, the month I was sworn in. I'm assuming they [?] wasn't my administration policies that accounted for that. We lost another six-hundred-and-fifty-thousand jobs the subsequent month, before any of my policies has gone into effect. So I'm assuming that wasn't as consequence of our policies. That doesn't reflect the failure of the Recovery Act...." [It has been publicly shown that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (February 17, 2009) has been a failure, creating very few jobs in the private sector, but it was not really designed to increase employment in the private sector, and much of the money has gone to states so that they could shore up their deficits--temporarily. Read the response to the previous quoted material, since it pertains to this quotation, too.]
"...The notion that I would somehow resist doing something that caught, cost half as much but would produce twice as many jobs. Why would I resist that? I, I wouldn't, I mean if that's, that's my point. Is, is, is that, eh, I am not an ideologue. I'm not. It doesn't make sense if somebody could tell me, 'You could do this cheaper, and it increased results.' Then, I want to say, 'Great!' The problem is I couldn't find credible economists who would backup the claims that you just made...." [This statement, which was related to the health-care legislation, is crap. There are a lot of credible economists, such as the nationally syndicated writer known as Thomas Soales. Of course, Thomas Soales is not a communist or a socialist or a Marxist or a black radical, as is Barack Obama. Thomas Soales is simply a regular American, who, I have found, likes the country and The U.S. Constitution. I could say more about his nonsense, but I shall not. Oh, yes, Barack Obama is an "idealog!" He lied in saying that he is not. If you think about it--Why did Barack Obama have to bring up the subject about his being or not being an ideologue, if he were not? It seems to me Barack Obama was trying to convince the group that he was not an ideologue, as he might try to convince a bunch of dummies, who were very likely to believe him.]
"...What you may consider across-the-board tax cuts could be, for example, greater tax cuts for people who are makin' a million dollars. I may not agree to a tax cut for Warren Buffett. You may be calling for across-the-board tax cut for the banking industry, right now. I may not agree to that...." [Here is a fact, U.S. President Ronald Reagan did across-the-board tax cuts in the 1980s, and U.S. President George W. Bush did across-the-board tax cuts about a decade ago. Barack Obama likes to tax the rich--you know, anyone making $250,000 [gross income] a year, such as a business grossing $250,000 (such as a plumbing business, a roofing business, a car-repair shop, or a hardware store.]
"...Now some of you went after this bill, you'd think that this thing was some Bolshevik plot. Now, I, I mean that's how you guys, that's how you guys presented it. The way these issues are being presented by the Republicans is that this is some wild-eyed plot to impose huge government in every aspect of our lives, what happens is you guys then don't have a lot of room to negotiate with me. If you voted with the administration on something, [you] are politically vulnerable in your own base, you've given yourselves very little room to work in a bipartisan fashion, because what you've been telling your constituents is, 'His guy's doing all kinds of crazy stuff that's going to destroy America'...." [The Bolsheviks were those statists--dictators, communists, Marxists, et cetera--who set up that wonderful--I say "Ha!" to that "wonderful"--Russia of 1917, and yes, it is clearly evident that Barack Obama's policies involve communism, Marxism, socialism, fascism, and other defective political ideologies. Now, that you have that comment from me, examine Barack Obama's words and try to determine his purpose in saying it.]Monday, February 1, 2010 (a public statement about his proposed budget):
"...Ten years ago, we had a budget surplus of more than two-hundred-billion dollars with projected surpluses stretching out toward the horizon. In over the course of the past ten years, the previous administration and previous Congresses created an expensive new drug program, past massive tax cuts for the wealthy, and funded two wars without paying for any of it, all of which was compounded by recession and by rising health-care costs. As a result, when I first walked through the door, the deficit stood at one-point-three-trillion dollars with projected deficits of eight-trillion over the next decade...." [I obtained this clip from The Rush Limbaugh Show, a nationally syndicated radio show, while far from home. On the same day, I heard Rush Limbaugh report that the deficit amount for the last year of the U.S. President George Bush administration was four-hundred-fifty-four-point-eight-billion dollars (or 454.8-billion dollars) and that the Barack Obama adminstration raised the federal deficit over the next year or at the end of the first year of the Barack Obama administation to one-point-four-two-trillion dollars (or 1.42-trillion dollars or 1,420-billion dollars). Notice the difference between 454.8 billion and 1,420 billion. When you divide 1,420 by by 454.8, you get: 3.1360424. The deficit is now three times higher--at least. On Friday, January 29, 2010, Barack Obama attended a gathering of Republicans from the U.S. House of Representatives, and one of the Republicans, there, was Jeb Hensarling (who was and is associated with Texas), who did not get on well with Barack Obama, and Jef Hensarling appeared on MSNBC on Monday, February 1, 2010, and made comments about Friday, such as: "...Well, either the President misunderstood the point or he just hasn't been well informed. If you look at the twelve years when Republicans controlled the Congress, the average annual deficit was about one-hundred-and-four billion. I, I'm not proud of that number. That's too high. But in the three years that Democrats have controlled Congress, the average annual deficit is now one-point-one-trillion. Do the math! What used to be an annual deficit under Republicans has become a monthly deficit under Democrats. And so when the President says, 'I inherited a big deficit.' I agree, but he inherited it from Democratic Congress, and only Congress can spend the money. That's the point I was making. Facts are facts...." That quotation I obtained from The Rush Limbaugh Show. Now, keep the "massive tax cuts" part of Barack Obama's statement in mind, and now read the next quoted material.]
"...I proposed a fee on big banks to pay back taxpayers for bailout. We're reforming the way contracts are awarded to save taxpayers billions of dollars. And while we extend middle-class tax cuts in this budget, we will not continue costly tax cuts for oil companies, investment-fund managers, and those making over two-hundred-five-thousand a year. We just can't afford it...." [Notice how Barack Obama believes "tax cuts" are "costly." The money that the federal government has comes from citizens and the companies that citizens run and operate. Barack Obama believes keeping money out of the hands of the government is "costly." I shall say no more about that so that you can think about the idea.]
"...We simply cannot continue to spend as if deficits don't have consequences, as if waste doesn't matter, as if the hard-earned tax dollars of the American people can be treated like Monopoly money, as if we can ignore this challenge for another generation. We can't! In order to meet this challenge, I welcome any idea from Democrats and Republicans. What I will not welcome, what I reject, is the same old grandstanding when the cameras are on and the same irresponsible budget policies when the cameras are off. It's time to hold Washington to the same standards families and businesses hold themselves. It's time to save what we can, to spend what we must, and live within our means once again...." [In the recent past, Barack Obama has passed along the idea that government has to cut back on spending, and it has all been a sham. Here, Barack Obama continued to lie and promote the sham. In addition, Barack Obama introduced the idea of "grandstanding." Every day, Barack Obama is making a speech somewhere. Look back at all the entries that make up this document, and I have miss many, many speeches. What Barack Obama has done over the last year or so is grandstand about everything! No Republican has done anything in the way of grandstanding as Barack Obama has, and no Republican can since, in essence, Barack Obama can control and manipulate so much of the main media of the country.]Wednesday, February 3, 2010:
"...Part of the reason people are feelin' anxious, right now, it's not just because of this current crisis--they've been goin' through this for ten years. If our response ends up being, you know, ah, because we don't want to stir things up here--we're just gonna do the same thing that was being done before, then I, I, I don't know what differentiates us from the other guys. Blanche is exactly right. We've got to be non-ideological about our approach to these things. We got to make sure that our party understands that like it or not we have to have a financial system that is healthy and functioning, so we can't be demonizing, ah, every bank out there. We've got to be the party of business--small business and large business--because they produce jobs...." [This set of words is one for the history books. The statement is counter to everything Barack Obama believes. Barack Obama has shown he does not wants to be the party of business--Barack Obama has not really done anything for the private sector of the country since January 20, 2009, and, in fact, it can be shown Barack Obama has purposely worked to hurt the private sector. Look over the line that contains the "like it or not" block of words. When you analyze the line, you get--Barack Obama seems to present the idea that the Democratic Party and he have to put up with "a financial system that is healthy and functioning," though it is not what they really want. And who are the "other guys" that Barack Obama talked about? If those other guys are the American people and "conservative politicians" who believe in The U.S. Constitution and who fight to protect it, then those other guys are, yes, different from him.]Sunday, February 7, 2010 (interviewed by Katie Couric live during Super Bowl XLIV Today):
"Well, what I've been doing is consulting closely with the leaders in the House and the leaders in the Senate on the Democratic side, and I want to consult closely with, ah, our Republican colleagues, so they're going to be coming in, ah, to the White House next week, and what I want to do is ask them is to put their ideas on the table and then after the recess, which will be a few weeks away, I want to come back and have a, ah, large meeting--Republicans and Democrats--to go through systematically all the best ideas that are out there and move it forward. Ah, but part of the reason that people need to understand we can't back off on this, ah, the major insurer, one of the major insurers in California just announced that, in the individual market, they're increasing their premiums by thirty-nine percent. That's a portrait of the future if don't do something now. It's gonna keep on beatin' down families, small businesses, ah, large businesess--it's going to be a huge drain on the economy. We're going to have to do something about it, and I think we can." [For the first time ever, a U.S. President used a Super Bowl pre-game show to promote his political agenda, and CBS-TV was a party to it, and Barack Obama did it in an interview with Katie Couric, and the opening topic was health-care legislation and not the Super Bowl game that was to be played in a few hours. The quoted material, here, was Barack Obama's answer to the first question raised by Katie Couric. And during the interview, Barack Obama once again passed along flap doodle.]
"Well, eh, ah, I think that what I want to do is to look at the Republican ideas that are out there, ah, and I would want to be very specific--How do you guys want ta lower costs, how do you guys intend ta reform the insurance markets so people with pre-existing conditions, for example, can get health care, how do you want to make sure that the thirty-million people who don't have health insurance can get it, what are your ideas specifically? And if we can go step by step through a series of, ah, these issues and arrive at some agreements, then procedurally, there's no reason why we can't do it a lot faster than the process took last year." [This was the response to the second question from Katie Couric. Did you find the lies? For example, an analysis of history shows Barack Obama does not listen to Republicans.]
"No, ah, because keep in mind, jobs were my number-one priority last year. That's why we passed the Recovery Act to make sure that not only do we put three-hundred-billion dollars worth of tax cuts in to people's pockets so that there was demand and businesses had customers. That's why we provided over two-hundred-billiion dollars in assistance to states so they wouldn't have to lay off teachers and cops and firefighters, and that all supported, ah, maintaining the jobs that we had. Ah, that's why we moved forward on infrastructure and clean energy and a lot of jobs, ah, creation, ah, and it, having taken those steps very quickly at the front end--at the beginning of the year--it was important for us also to start looking at these issues that middle-class families have been struggling with for decades now. And do I wish we could have done it faster, that it hadn't been so painfully slow through the legislative process? Absolutely! Ah, but it was the right thing to do then. It continues to be the right thing." [This was the response to the third question from Katie Couric. Did you see the lies? How many private-sector jobs were created? Somewhere around six-million jobs or seven-million jobs were lost.]
"...I'd say that we are seeing the corner turn on the economy growing again. Last year at this time, the economy had contracted, had shrunk by six percent. We know now that, last quarter, it had grown by six percent....." [This portion of quoted material came from later in the interview. Barack Obama's "six percent" figure of growth is defective. The figure refers to GDP. It was reported on Friday, January 29, 2010, that the GDP figure for the fourth quarter of 2009 was 5.7 percent (Rugaber, Christopher S. "Economic growth may slow as spending stalls." Detroit Free Press, 20 January 2010, p. 9A.). It is very likely the GDP figure will be downgraded in the near future. You should see the entry for October 29, 2009, which talks about the previous GDP and shows how it got downgraded over time. In the future, I will update this section to show revised figures.]
"....And my hope is that, for folks who are unemployed, they're gonna start seeing, ah, concrete improvement in their own lives in the next few months...." [Keep Barack Obama's statement in mind! Right now, though, I say that I see there will be short-term employment opportunities for some people in the near future--for those who take part in the census count. Boy, that commercial for the census that I saw during the pre-game show for the Super Bowl and the commercial for the census that I saw during the Super Bowl seemed useless and a waste of money (the federal government spent big money for the commercials). By the way, the lead actor in both commercials was Ed Begley, Jr., who is a big manmade-global-warming proponent and has a television show (Living with Ed) on the Planet Green network, and Barack Obama is pushing to get cap-and-trade rules or strict environmental rules established in the country, which will hurt the country, and that is the way of evil men today.]Tuesday, February 9, 2010 (in front of the press once more):
"...The small businesses I talk to--and I've been talking to a lot of them as, as I've been traveling, ah, around the country--their biggest problem is right now they can't get credit out of their banks, so they're uncertain about that, and they're still uncertain about orders...do they just have enough customers to justify them doing more? It's looking better at this point, ah, but that's not the rational for people saying, 'I'm not hiring!' Let me, let me put it this way. Most small businesses right now they've got enough customers to make a profit, and [if] they can get the bank loans required to boost their payroll, boost their inventory, and to sell to those customers, they will do so...." [On this day, Barack Obama was in front of the press again, and he made a number of comments that could fit in this section, but I choose to only list this comment, because, in my mind, it could qualify as the dumbest comment or the most dangerous comment from a U.S. President of the twenty-first century. Let us examine it. A company does not borrow money to hire more people. When a company is getting a demand for its product or service and when the company has not enough employees to produce enough product or service for customers, the company will hire people, and, ultimately, a company hires more people because revenue increases and allows the company to hire people. A company may borrow money once or twice or from time to time to pay currently existing employees, if, for some reason, the company is cash poor for some reason at the time employees must be paid (the company may get involved in "commercial paper" in such a case, and it can involve investors buying the paper for short-term gains). It is customers--a lack of them or not a lack of them--that drives what a business operator will do in relation to hiring employees and keeping employees. An operator of a business does not decide, "I will go out and get a loan so that I can hire more employees." A company may get a loan so that the company can, for example, build a building or buy a piece of machinery. By the way, a company does not have to get a loan to build up an inventory; for example, a store may take on new product through a consignment idea, in which the producer of the product will not get paid till the product is sold, and, really, the producer of the product will get a percentage of the purchase price of the product. It is possible for a company to make a profit and yet not have enough profit that can be used to hire more people; for example, if the profit in one business quarter is $10.00, but the cost of having and keeping an employee for a business quarter is $1,000, then the company cannot hire an employee, but that $10.00 could be used to pay a debt that will come in the next quarter (when, maybe, the revenue from customers may be lower than it was in previous quarter). Barack Obama's mind is filled with a lot of nonsense thought. A problem comes to me here! Either when Barack Obama made this comment, Barack Obama showed his stupidity about how economics works, or when Barack Obama made this comment, Barack Obama purposely made the statement to simply make it or to lie to people in the audience who know little about business (knowing really what happens). In either case, Barack Obama is a dangerous man and an evil man, and it is clear that Barack Obama is working to make the business community look bad in the eyes of at least some people so that Barack Obama can push the idea that his political ideas are right and that the government should take over businesses--those evil entities that are purposely causing unemployment and make more profits. You had better understand that "those evil entities that are purposely causing unemployment and trying to make more profits" is said in jest or as a joke.][Note: On Wednesday, February 17, 2010, during The Rush Limbaugh Program (a nationally syndicated radio show) Rush Limbaugh talked about Adolph Hitler's "big lie" theory, which was written about in Adolph Hitler's book entitled Mein Kampf (volume one of two volumes), and Rush Limbaugh read a portion of the book, particularly text in chapter ten ("Causes of the Collapse") of volume one. Here is what Rush Limbaugh read (I have left out Rush Limbaugh's asides), and, of course, it is an English version: "...All this was inspired by the principle, which is quite true in itself, that in the big lie, there was always a certain force of credibility, because the broad masses of the nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily, and, thus, in the primitive simplicity of their minds, they more readily fall victim to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale lies. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths and they would not believe that others could have the impetus to distort the truth so infamously, even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will no doubt waver and will continue to think there may be some other explanation, other than it is a lie...." A person can deduce Barack Obama could be using the "big lie" theory, believing people could not possibly believe that he is lying so much and so greatly and believing some of what he says will be believed by the people or almost all passed on will be believed by the people someday.]
Wednesday, February 17, 2010:
"...I want to begin by recalling where we were one year ago. Millions of jobs had already been lost to the recession before I was sworn into office. Another eight-hundred thousand would be lost in the month of January. We'd later learn that our economy had shrunk by an astounding 6.4 percent in the first quarter of 2009. And economists across the political spectrum warned that if dramatic action was not taken to break the back of the recession, the United States could spiral into another depression. That was the backdrop against which I signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in Denver with Blake alongside..." [One year previous, Barack Obama had signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, and, on this day, Barack Obama tried to persuade people of the benefits that had been gained from the bill so far, and it was another day in which Barack Obama spoke lie upon lie upon lie.]
"...One year later, it is largely thanks to the Recovery Act, the second depression is no longer a possibility...." [To date, most of the money that has been used from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has been used to cover the shortfalls in the budgets of states, most of which have done nothing to really take care of their budget deficits, such as by cutting spending, and will in the near future run out of that government money that is keeping them afloat.]
"...We see some polling where about twice as many people think we've raised taxes as lower taxes. Ninety-five percent of ya got a tax cut...." [Whose poll was the focus here? There was that nonsense "ninety-five percent" tax-cut thing again. Ugh!.]
"...We knew that, even before the crisis hit, we'd come through what some people are calling the 'lost decade,' a period where there was barely any job growth and where the income of the average American household declined...." [To date, it is really only Barack Obama who has been calling the previous decade the "lost decade," as far as I can tell. It does seem very likely to me that other Democrats--politicans and pundits--will start using the term regularly to support Barack Obama. For now, I say that, today, the general unemployment rate is around ten percent, which is about double what it was during the U.S. George W. Bush presidency.]
"...Yesterday, I announced loan guarantees to break ground on America's first new nuclear power plant in nearly three decades--a plant that will create thousands of construction jobs and eight-hundred permanent jobs in years to come...." [This statement bothers me, as it should you. Barack Obama has not promoted nuclear power in the past. Notice that Barack Obama talked about "loan guarantees." When Barack Obama talks about loan guarantees, I think it will have something to do with the government's taking interest in or control of nuclear power plants--nationalizing them in some way. Barack Obama is a type of man who wants government to own or control all businesses. Oh, if construction on the plant is ever start, it will create jobs, and if the plant is ever built, there will be regular jobs for some people. Incidentally, it can take many years to build a nuclear power plant, so do not hold your breath.]On Thursday, February 18, 2010 (the announcement of the creation of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, which will be an entity made up of sixteen persons):
"...Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles are taking on the impossible. They're going to try to restore reason to the fiscal debate and come up with answers as the co-chairs of the new National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. I'm asking them to produce clear recommendations on how to cover the costs of all federal programs by 2015 and to meaningfully improve our long-term fiscal picture...." [Remember: It is the U.S. President and the members of the U.S. Congress who have the job of determining the spending that is done by the federal government, as it has been for decades and decades and decades, and there has been no reason for such as entity as the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform to exist in the past, and the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform--by now existing--is just another thing that will use money. You should ask yourself: What is the real reason for creating this entity? One reason for creating the entity that comes to my mind is to give the public, especially the stupid, the impression that something is being done to fix the country. It could be argued well by me that Barack Obama created the commission so that the commisson will use money, having shown he is purposely working to hurt the country financially by spending, spending, spending. Let me play a game here. If you have sixteen persons who are being paid $100,000 a year, then you are spending $1,600,000, and when you have such sixteen person doing their work, then there are support people to pay for, and there are offices to pay for, and there are telephones to pay for, and there can be transportation to pay for, et cetera. It must be remembered that, on September 16, 2008, Barack Obama made this statement while in Golden, Colorado: "...This morning, instead of offering up concrete plans to solve these issues, Senator McCain offered up the oldest Washington stunt in the book. He passed the buck to a commission to study the problem. Here's the thing. This isn't 'nine-eleven.' We know how we got into this mess. What we need now is leadership that gets us out...."]On Thursday, February 25, 2010 (at the Barack Obama Six-Hour-Long [as scheduled] Televised Health-Care Summit):
"...I can certainly remember Malia comin' into the kitchen one day and saying, 'I can't breathe, daddy.' And us havin' to rush her to the emergency room because she had asthma. Or Sasha when she was a baby getting meningitis and havin' to get a spinal tap and, ah, being on antibiotics for three days and us not knowin' whether or not she was goin' emerge okay. In each of those instances, I remember thinking while sitting in the emergency room, 'What would [have] happened if I didn't have reliable health care?'...." [It is federal law that no one in need of emergency care can be refused care at a hospital. Even if Barack Obama would have had no money at the time of the two instances that he mentioned, the children would have received care. And it seems to me Barack Obama's daughters were treated well when they were ill, since they are both alive and well today.]
"...I've looked very carefully at John Boehner's plan that he put forward. Ah, I've looked at Tom Coburn and Senator Byrd's plan, ah, that's been put out there. Paul Ryan has discussed, ah, some of the issues surrounding Medicare. I've look at those very carefully...." [So, between February 2, 2010, and February 25, 2010, there had been changes with Barack Obama--he said that he has seen other plans such as that from U.S. Representative John Boehner (a Republican related to Ohio). On February 2, 2010, Barack Obama said, "...What I've done is I've said to the Republicans, "Show me what you've got. You've been sittin' on the sidelines, criticizing what we're proposing...." However, I note that the Republicans have had ideas about health-care available online for months.]Wednesday, March 3, 2010 (a public appearance to push the U.S. Congress to pass a health-care bill, hinting that the U.S. Congress should do so by using, for one, the "budget reconciliation" process of the U.S. Senate):
"...At one end of the spectrum, there are some who suggested that scrapping our system of private insurance and replacing it with a government-run health-care system, and though many other countries have such a system, in America, it would be neither practical or realistic...." [To date, the health-care bills in the U.S. Congress that have had Barack Obama's support--the ones from the Democrats--have been designed to kill private-sector health-care insurance companies, and that is widely known and has been widely reported through radio talk shows and the Internet.]
"...On the other end of the spectrum, there are those--and this includes most Republicans in Congress--who believe the answer is to loosen regulations on the insurance industry...." [One of the regulations that the Republicans want to loosen is the one in which each insurance company based in one particular state is not allowed to sell insurance in any of the other states, and the barrier that blocks insurance companies from selling insurance in more than one state is why some states only have a couple insurance companies from which people can get insurance and why competition in the insurance industry is poor. What "regulations" was Barack Obama talking about? Barack Obama did not mention any regulations that the Republicans want to remove or loosen--he simply spouted words.]
"...Essentially, my proposal would change three things about the current health-care system. First, it would end the worst practices of insurance companies--no longer would they be able to deny your coverage because of pre-existing conditions, no longer would they be able to drop your coverage because you got sick...." [I have yet to hear or see news reports that show it is common practice for insurance companies to drop people from coverage because the people get sick! If such a problem existed, the "liberals" in the main media would have done stories about such a common practice--over and over and over again.]Monday, March 8, 2010 (a speech in Pennsylvania):
"...Every decision, every debate, no matter how important it is with the same question--What does this mean for the next election? What does it mean for your poll numbers? Is this good for the Democrats or good for the Republicans? Who won the news cycle? That's just how Washington is! They can't help it. They are obsessed with the sport of politics...." [I shall let you go back through this document and count the number of quotations that this document contains, and the total figure that you end up with will certainly be far below the number that the total could have been, since I left a lot of quotations out of this document. Almost every day, Barack Obama is in front of the cameras, and I say that Barack Obama is "obsessed with the sport of politics." In fact, I could argue well that Barack Obama is simply "obsessed" with hurting the country, doing it as if it were a kid's game.]
"...[our] cost-cutting measures mirror most of the proposals in the current Senate bill, which reduces most people's premiums and brings down our deficit by up to one-trillion dollars over the next decade because we're spending our health-care dollars more wisely...." [Barack Obama lied again.]Wednesday, March 10, 2010 (in the St. Louis area of Missouri):
"...And, by the way, I don't recall any of these Republicans tryin' to do anything about insurance companies' abuses during all the years they were in charge....I don't remember them doin' anything about folks who needed some help when the government was running surpluses. So, I get offense with some of these folks that--it's just never goin' be the right time...." [If you hear this sets of words in audio from, you will hear how Barack Obama worked to sound like a somewhat uneducated person who does pronounce all the words properly or like a person who is talking in black lingo. What is important in this set of words is that Barack Obama attacked the insurance companies again, trying to convince people that insurance companies have been getting away with abuses for ages. Health-insurance companies are highly, highly regulated, and they have been for decades. Ask yourself: What "abuses" was Barack Obama talking about? Also ask yourself: What "abuses" have insurance companies been getting away with?]Monday, March 15, 2010 (in Cleveland, Ohio):
"...How many people are gettin' insurance through their job right now? Raise your hands! Ah, well, a lot of those folks, through employer, it is estimated would see premiums fall by as much as three-thousand percent, which means they could give you a raise...." [Barack Obama only had a crowd of about two-hundred persons when he passed along an impossibility--"three-thousand percent."]Wednesday, March 17, 2010 (an interview with Bret Baier for the Fox News Channel):
"...I don't spend a lot of time worrying about what the procedural rules are in the House or the Senate. What I, what I, what I...what I can tell you is, what I can tell you is, if that the vote that's taken in the House will be a vote for health-care reform, and if people vote 'yes,' whatever form that takes, it is going to be a vote for health-care reform. And I don't think we should pretend otherwise, and if.... Bret, let me finish. And if they don't, if they vote against it, then they're going to be voting against health-care reform, and they're going to be voting in favor of the status quo, so Washington is very concerned about these procedural issues in Congress--this is always an issue that's, whether Republicans are in charge or Democrats [are] in charge...." [Note: The first two sets of three dots are where the reporter was attempting to interrupt Barack Obama. Now, the main duty of the U.S. President is to uphold the laws and rules of The U.S. Constitution. Around this time, Democrats were proposing that they would pass health-care legislation by using a "deeming" rule (informally called the "Slaughter Solution") in the U.S. House of Representatives (and you should see "Special Note #36" in my document entitled National Health Care and Mass Failure: The Reasons it is a Dead Issue, which can be reached by using this Health link, to learn about the "Slaughter Rule"). The idea that was was proposed was a violation of The U.S. Constitution.]
"...I am not.... What I am saying is that whatever they end up voting on--and I hope it's going to be sometime this week--that it is going to be a vote for or against my health-care proposal, and that's what matters...." [Note: The first set of three dots is where the reporter was trying to interrupt Barack Obama. This statement by Barack Obama was related to the subject of the "deem and pass" rule being proposed in the U.S. House of Representatives or the "Slaughter Solution." To Barack Obama, the rules in The U.S. Constitution do not matter it seems, since Barack Obama did not discount the "Slaughter Solution."]
"...We, we will--by the time the vote has taken place, not only I will know what's in it, you'll know what's in it because it's going to be posted...." [Basically, Barack Obama noted that, after the bill is passed, everyone will then know what is in the bill.]
"...I get forty-thousand, ah, letters or emails a day.... No, listen, I've got exactly the same emails that I could show you that talk about--Why haven't we done something to make sure that I, a small-business person, am getting as good as a deal as members of Congress are gettin' and don't have my insurance rates jacked up forty percent, why is it that I, a mother with a child with a pre-existing condition, still can't get insurance? So, the issue that I'm concerned about is whether or not we're fixing a broken system...." [The first set of three dots is where the two men were talking at the same time. Regular people cannot get the same deal as the members of Congress can and the members of Congress are exempt from the health-care bill! Oh, the question dealt with an email question in which a person wondered, for example, if the health-care bill was so great, why has the Democratic leadership had to use bribery to get Congress members to vote "yes." Barack Obama did not answer the question.]Friday, March 19, 2010 (at George Mason University in Virginia):
"...If this vote fails, the insurance industry will continue to run amuck. They will continue to deny people coverage. They will continue to deny people care. They will continue to jack up premiums forty or fifty or sixty percent as they have in the last few weeks without any accountability whatsoever. They know this, and that's why their lobbyists are stalking the halls of Congress as we peak and pouring million of dollars into negative ads, and that's why they are doing everything they can to kill this bill. So, the only question left is this--Are we going to let the special interest win once again or are we goin' to make this vote a victory for the American people?...." [Ugh!]
"...We have heard every crazy thing about this bill. You remember! First, we heard this was a government take over of health care. Then, then, we heard that this was gonna kill granny. Then we heard, well, illegal immigrants are gonna be gettin' a main benefits of this.... There, there has bee--they have thrown every argument at this legislative effort, but when it, it turns out at the end of the day what we're talking about is commonsense reform...." [Ugh!]Saturday March 20, 2010 (before the Democratic Caucus in the House of Representatives):
"...We are no bound to win, but we are bound to be true. We are not found to succeed, but we are bound to let whatever light we have shine...." [Ugh!]Tuesday, March 23, 2010 (at the signing of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010):
"...This legislation will also lower costs for families and for businesses and for the federal government, reducing our deficit by over one-trillion dollars in the next two decades...." [On this day, Barack Obama signed into law a Marxist-type health-care bill into law, which would create a Marxist-type health-care system for the country, which, in a few years, would have the federal government running the health-care system of the country as a monopoly, and, again, at the signing ceremony, Barack Obama lied some more. Taxes are going up almost immediately on everyone because of the new law. In January 2011, it is very likely that health-insurance companies will have to raise rates on many persons, since the new federal law has rules that will lead to health-insurance companies being forced to raise rates beyond that related to inflation (at the beginning of a year, the costs of policies usually go up, such as to reflect the effects of inflation, but in the future, insurance companies will be required, for one, to take on more risk or more risky clients, which will increase costs to companies).]
"...That our generation is able to succeed in passing this reform is a testament to the persistence and the character of the American people, who championed this cause, who mobilized, who organized, who believed--the people who loved this country can change it...." [Who was Barack Obama talking about by mentioning "the American people" in this statement? On this day, surveys or polls were showing that about sixty percent of the American people did not want this federal act (or this federal law). I wonder--How many of the forty percent even know what the rules of the federal act are? It seems very likely to me many of the forty percent cannot tell anyone else what the act is about and what rules are in the act. Remember: A lof of people protested against this act when it was yet a bill, such as on the previous Saturday, when somewhere around thirty-thousand persons protested at the Capitol in Washington, D.C.]
"...We are done...."Thursday, March 25, 2010 (in Iowa City, Iowa):
"...There's been plenty of fear mongering, plenty of over-heated rhetoric. If you turn on the news, you'll the same folks are still shouting about there's going to be an end to the world because this bill passed. I'm not exaggerating! Leaders of the Republican Party, they called the passage of this bill 'armageddon'! 'Armageddon'! 'End of freedom as we know it'! So, after I signed the bill, I looked around to see if there were any asteroids falling or sudden cracks opening up in the Earth! Turned out it was a nice day! Birds were chirpin'. Folks were strollin' down the mall. People still had their doctors...." [This collection of words is not the way of a U.S. President, this collection of words is the rhetoric of an insane man. A sane man knows that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 will lead to failure of the country in the future, such as by killing jobs, and it will certainly lead to the killing of people of all ages, from unborn babies to senior citizens. Barack Obama's argument that the world has not falled apart right since the signing of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 is nonsense thought, and for Barack Obama to make people to think the world is okay and will be okay since the world has not fallen since after the signing of the bill into law is nonsense and deceives the ignorant and naive, and Barack Obama's using such a statement shows the evilness of Barack Obama's mind.]Monday, March 29, 2010 [an interview with Matt Lauer of NBC-TV at the White House]:
"Eh, eh know I think that, ah, it is a loose amalgam of forces. There's a part of the tea-party movement that did actually exist before I was elected. Um, we saw some of it leading up to my election. Ah, there's some folks who just we're sure whether I was born in the United States, whether I was a socialist. Right? So, so there's that segment of it, which I think is just dug in ideologically, and that strain has existed in American politics for a long time. Then, I think that there's a, a broader, ah, circle, ah, around that core group of people who are legitimately concerned about the deficit, who are, ah, ah, legitimately concerned that the federal government, ah, may be taking on too much. And, last year, a bunch of the emergency measures that we had to take in terms of, ah, dealing with the bank crisis, ah, bailing out the auto industry, ah, fed that sense that things were out of control. And I think those are folks who have legitimate concerns. And so I wouldn't paint in broad brush and say that, you know, everybody who's involved or, or have gone to a tea-party rally or meeting, ah, are somehow on the fringe, some of them I think, ah, have some, ah, main-stream legitimate concerns, and, you know, my hope is that, as we move forward and we're tackling things like the deficit and imposing a freeze on domestic spending and taking steps, ah, that show we're sincere about, ah, dealing with our long-term problems that some of that group will dissipate. There's still gonna be a group at their core that, um, question my legitimacy, ah, or question the Democratic Party generally or question, ah, people who they consider, ah, to be against them in someway, and, and that group we're probably not going to convince." [I got this piece of interview when it was presented on Today on Tuesday, March 30, 2010, and there is a lot that I could comment on, but I will only cover one topic. Barack Obama was asked about the tea-party movement. Notice how Barack Obama worked to convince Matt Lauer and the viewer that, to Barack Obama, few of those that are a part of the tea-party movement think that he is a socialist. Of course, for example, Barack Obama has been involved in nationalizing banks, which is the way of the socialist, and nationalizing car companies, which is the way of the socialist. Tomorrow, on March 30, 2010, Barack Obama would sign the Health Care and Education Affordable Reconciliation Act of 2010, which would slightly amend the recently passed Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 and which would nationalize the entire student-loan industry of the country (putting the federal government completely in control of the student-loan industry), which is the way of the socialist, the communist, the Marxist, the dictator, et cetera.]
"...When you actually look at the bill itself, it incorporates all sorts of Republican ideas. Ah, I mean a lot of commentators have said, ya know, this is sort of similar to the bill that Mitt Romney, the Republican governor and now presidential candidate, passed in a Massachusetts. A lot of the ideas in terms of 'exchange'--just being able ta pool, ah, and improve the purchasing power of individuals, ah, in the insurance market, that originated from Heritage Foundation...." [Barack Obama lied big time through this statement. The Heritage Foundation did not endorse the 'exchange' idea. In fact, the Heritage Foundation, which is a "conservative" group that was founded in 1973 that is highly anti-Obama, worked hard to put down the all the proposed national-hearth care bills. Upon learning about Barack Obama's statement about the Heritage Foundation, on March 30, 2010, the Heritage Foundation issued a press release that refuted Barack Obama's remarks related to The Heritage Foundation, and here is a portion of the press release, which was release to the public and to members of the Heritage Foundation: "...Specifically, President Obama told NBC's Today show host Matt Lauer that a centerpiece of his health care package, 'in terms of the exchange, just being able to pool and improve the purchasing power of individuals in the insurance market-that originated from The Heritage Foundation.' But the President knows fully well-or he ought to before he speaks-that the exchange we and most others support are very different from those in his package. True exchanges are simply a market mechanism to enable families to choose their health insurance. President Obama's exchanges, by contrast, are a vehicle to introduce sweeping regulation and federal standardization on health insurance...."]Thursday, April 1, 2010 (a speech in Virginia):
"...Every single day since I signed the reform law, there's been another poll or headline th' said--Nation still divided on health-care reform, polls haven't changed yet! Well, yeah! It just happened last week! It, it's only been a week." (There was a lot of applause, which stalled him.) "Can you imagine if, if some of these, ah, reporters were working on a farm and...it, it, it planted some seeds, and they came out next day and they looked. Nothing's happened. There's no crop!
We're gonna starve! Oh, no! It's a disaster! It's been a week, folks. Ha. So, before we find if people like health-care reform, we should wait to see what happens when we actually put into place...." [This time, Barack Obama was clearly glib. Barack Obama spoke as more like a child and like a what a person might expect from a U.S. President. This statement made by Barack Obama shows that he is no serious thinker. This statement by Barack Obama is the thinking of a child or a defective adult. In the entry for March 29, 2010, I present part of a press release issued by the Heritage Foundation on March 30, 2010, and here is another portion of that press release: "...The President's health care law is only eight days old, and already it has cost our economy billions of dollars. Late last week, AT&T alone took a $1 billion charge because of the impact of the bill, and the consulting firm Towers Watson told the Wall Street Journal that the total hit this year will reach nearly $14 billion. It is sad, given the present state of our economy, that the President's party in Congress has reacted not by trying to find ways to spare the jobs that will be lost because of this law. Instead, they are trying to intimidate companies that take such charges with threats that they will be hauled in before the Energy and Commerce Committee...."]Friday, April 2, 2010 (at Celgard LLC in Charlotte, North Carolina):
"...I don't want government any more than is necessary. But there's some things that Bob or any CEO can invest in. Bob's not going to build the roads to get to Celgard. No company is going to make investments for a public good...." [Barack Obama attacked what businesses have done for decades. Businesses have been involved in building roads; for example, a company that is putting up a big store can be involved in paying for the construction of a road that will allow people to get to the store. Business have been involved in making parking decks, and businesses have been involved in building buildings that get use by businesses, such as, in Detroit, the famous Fisher Building. Businesses have been involved in making roads and streets and houses for subdivisions, such as in the boom days of the 1950s. In essence, businesses create products and services that people pay for, and those people then pay taxes, some of which go to the creation of roads. To me, Barack Obama thinks businesses do not do anything for the public god or ever do anything for the public good, or Barack Obama is trying to make you think businesses do nothing for the public good. See, Barack Obama's mind is filled with crap. By the way, "public good" is what you would expect a Marxist or a communist or socialist to push in dialogue or speech, as in "for the public good."]
"...Today is an encouraging day. We learned that the economy actually produced a substantial number of jobs instead of losing a substantial number of jobs. We are beginning to turn the corner. This month, more Americans woke up, got dressed, and headed to work in an office or factory or storefront. More folks are feeling the sense of pride and satisfaction that comes with a hard-earned and well-deserved paycheck...." [On this day, the unemployment figures and employment figures were released by the government, and it was reported that there was an increase in the employment figure since the last report--most of those who gained jobs were those who got into part-time jobs, such as as census workers, who will be out of work in a few months, since the census jobs will disappear.]
"...Some of my colleagues on the Republican side, what they'll say is--You got to drill even more. Just remember this statistic--We account for two percent of the world's oil reserves, but we use twenty percent of the world's oil. We use twenty percent, we only got two percent. We can't drill our way out of the problem...." [First, I am unaware how accurate the "two percent" figure is (Remember: Barack Obama is a perpetual liar). So, forget that figure, since it is unnecessary to know at the moment. The United States of America has control or has rights to a lot of oil, which could last for decades. Since the 1970s, the Democrat Party has been instrumental is blocking companies in the United States of America from getting oil from lands or waters that are a part of the United States of America. Companies around the world produce oil, and they produce the oil to sell, such as to the United States of America. If the United States of America did not buy oil from other countries, another country would. One reason that the United States of America uses twenty percent of the oil of the world on a yearly basis is so many other countries are not developed, having been blocked from being developed by, for instance, communist governments or Marxist governments or dictators, such as Fidel Castro of Cuba, which is a dead country. By the way, if countries in the Middle East did not sell oil, they would not, in essence, have any industry and no other real way to gain money and grow.]
"...We yet don't have the technological breakthroughs that can completely replace fossil fuels, so, for the next ten years, next twenty years, we're still gonna be usin' oil, we're still gonna be usin' coal, we're still gonna be using natural gas, we're still gonna usin' the traditional sources ta fuel our cars, ta heat our homes, ah, run our big power plants, et cetera...." [Oh, really, Barack baby?]Friday, April 2, 2010 (in Charlotte, North Carolina):
"..Well, well, let's talk about that...." [A woman named Doris wondered if it was wise to add more taxes to the American public through the health-care acts in this time of a depressed economy, and the quotation that I provide in this section makes up only a small portion of what turned out to be an answer that lasted seventeen minutes and twelve seconds, and, during the long period of time, Barack Obama did not really answer what was a really short question, and I am not going to waste time showing Barack Obama's roughly seventeen-minute answer, but I do note the day on which Barack Obama gave the famous roughly seventeen-minute answer.]Friday, April 9, 2010 (commenting about a nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court):
"...And so I will move quickly ta name a nominee, as I did with Justice Sotomayor. Once again, I view the process of selecting a Supreme Court nominee as among, ah, my most serious responsibilities as President. And while we cannot replace Justice Stevens's experience or wisdom, I will seek someone in the coming weeks with sim, similar qualities--an independent mind, a record of excellence and intrigety, a fierce dedication to the rule of law, and a keen understanding of how the law affects the daily lives of the American people. It will also be someone who, like Justice Stevens, knows, in a democracy, powerful interests must not be allowed to drown the voices of ordinary citizens...." [Barack Obama was responding to the topic that Justice John Paul Stevens of the U.S. Supreme Court was going to resign this summer. It must be remembered that Justice John Paul Stevens will go down in history as a defective justice; for one, in 2007, he ruled, in essence, in favor of allowing the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate carbon dioxide in the country, such as the production of carbon dioxide, since carbon dioxide was deemed to be harmful to the environment, which it is not. Now, because of the 2007 U.S. Supreme Court decision informally referred to, the communists and the like who are members of the federal government can control the entry industrial industry of the country through cap-and-trade ideas, such as those issued by the Environmental Protection Agency, and that will help kill the United States of America. Now, it must be remembered the court cases should be logic puzzles in which the rule of law is followed, and, for example, when two opposing parties come before the court, the court is supposed to be impartial and make logical decisions and make decisions based on, for example, the ways of The U.S. Constitution, and the court is not supposed to rule in favor of one over the other because of feelings--as an example, I say that the court is not supposed to rule in favor the what can be called the little guy over the big guy simply to rule in favor of the little guy over the big guy (Remember: The so-called little guy can be defective or a crook or dishonorable and wish to extort something from the big guy, who can be honest and, actually, be in the right). The size of a person or entity should not be considered by a judge when ruling on right or wrong, but Barack Obama supposedly wants a judge to take size into consideration, but it must be remembered Barack Obama hates businesses, especially big businesses.]Tuesday, April 13, 2010 (the final day of the nuclear-arms summit in Washington, D.C.):
"...I think the work that we've done in recent days around nuclear security and nuclear disarmament are intrinsically good. So many of the challenges that we face internationally can't be solved by one nation alone. It is a vital national security interest of the United States to reduce these conflicts, ah, because whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower and when conflict break out one way or another, we get pulled into them, and that ends up costing us, ah, significantly in terms of both blood and treasure...." [So, it seems Barack Obama does not like the United States of America being a dominant military superpower. Notice his "...like it or not...." part. And who are the "we" in his statement? Are the "we" some of the people in the country who want us to disarm, but Barack Obama cannot yet accomplish disarmament and cannot please those people in the country who support disarmament? By the way, the nuclear-arms summit was a two-day event, which had started on Monday, April 12, 2010, and, really, nothing was accomplished during the summit (superficial stuff, such as about storing some nuclear material of other countries in the United States of America, was announced) and, by the way, the press was not allowed at the event, probably because if the press were there, they would have really discovered nothing was useful was accomplished. The summit was another PR show for Barack Obama--something that made it appear to the stupid that Barack Obama was doing something.]Thursday, April 15, 2010 (in Miami, Florida, at a fund-raising event hosted by Emilio and Gloria Estefan, the latter of whom is a famous singer):
"...I should just point out that one-third of the Recovery Act went to tax cuts, tax cuts that strengthened the cornerstone of the American Dream...." [I begin by letting you know you should have no doubt that Emilio and Gloria Estefan promote Marxism, communism, socialism, and all that is Barack Obama! Oh, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was supposed to be a jobs-creating act, but it was not, because the purpose that was stated was a lie. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act sent money states to keep them afloat, allowing them to delay fixing their fiscal problems. In essence, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act put the country in deeper debt, and it was and is nothing more than a slush fund for the Democratic Party and Barack Obama.]
"...In all, we've passed twenty-five different tax cuts last year, and one thing we haven't done is raise income taxes on families making less than two-hundred-fifty-thousand dollars a year--another promised that we've kept. So, so I've been a little amused over the last couples of days where people have been having these rallies about taxes, taxes. You would think they would be saying, 'Thank you!' That's what you'd think...." [Once again, the liar spoke. The people who have been protesting over the last number of months have known that they have been given--if not income tax increases--all other types of tax increases. It is a fact, for example, Barack Obama has set down all types of increasing taxes through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. Notice Barack Obama mocked the tea-party people, and notice how Barack Obama seemed to think people should be coming to his feet in gratitude. Unfortunately for you snd me, my presentation of text in this case is unable to show his chuckling and working to draw laughter from the audience at the expense of the tea-party people.]
"...some of my Republican friends who were warning that after health care pass--this was going to be Armageddon. So, I went to NASA today, and, and I asked some of the guys, I said, 'Are asteroids comin' or?' They told me, 'America's going to be okay.'...." [Such crap this is from Barack Obama's defective mind!]
"...And for those, ah, ah, those Republicans and dah folks who, who are on the, on the repeal platform, my attitude is--Go for it. ...I'll have at fight. We'll have that argument. We'll take that argument across the country. If they wanna let kids, if they want to let kids, ah, be barred from gettin' insurance because of pre-existing conditions, we can have that discussion. Are they really willing to look that senior in the eye and say, 'We're not gonna help you afford that medicine?'...." [Barack Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2009, which is the subject of the quotation, on March 23, 2010, and it is a mess and a bad piece of legislation that people--a lot of American citizens--want to have repealed. The people who put the act together made errors that show their defectiveness--for example, the act was passed without taking care of or addressing the pre-existing conditions issue for children. They failed! Yet, Barack Obama attempted to push the idea through this quotation that Republicans would repeal such an issue and Barack Obama could fight them on it and win, though the issue as a provision does not exist in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2009.]Wednesday, April 21, 2010 (a television interview with John Harwood of CNBC):
"...It is something that has worked for some countries, and it is something that would be novel, ah, for the United States, and before, you know, I started saying, 'This makes sense or that makes sense,' I want to get a better picture of what our options are, and my first priority is to figure out how can we reduce wasteful spending so that, you know, we have a baseline of the core services that we need and the government should provide, and then we decide--How do we pay for that?--as oppose to figurin' out--How much money can we raise?--and then, ah, not have to make some tough choices on the spending side...." [The topic was a "value-added tax" and could it come, and Barack Obama came up with this defective statement. I know a value-added tax would increase the taxes on everyone, especially the poor and middle class, and a value-added tax is a defective tax, which will hurt the economy and hinder the making of things in this country. In truth, Barack Obama's pushing for a value-added tax is pushing to put more industries and jobs of the U.S. in other countries.]Thursday, April 22, 2010 (at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, New York City, New York):
"...I believe in the power of the 'free market.' I believe in a strong financial sector that helps people to raise capital and get loans and invest their savings, part of what has made America what it is. But the free market was never meant to be a free license to take whatever you can get however you can get it...." [The 'free market' has never been something in which you take 'whatever you can get however you can get it.' For one, the 'free market' as it has been in the United States of America for a long time is regulated by laws, such as state laws and such federal laws as the Truth and Lending Act, and, in the 'free market,' business people and customers in the millions negotiate deals and contacts in the millions every day, and customers can buy or not buy, and businesses cannot get away with whatever, because if they try to do whatever, which Barack Obama seems to hint is unethical all the time, customers would not buy, killing the businesses. I sort of think Barack Obama thinks the marketplace is "free" when government controls the entire marketplace so that everyone is free to do business--only in a way that the government wants.]
"...Too often in the years leading up to this crisis, some--and let me be clear--not all but some on Wall Street forgot that behind every dollar traded or leveraged, there's a family looking to buy a house or pay for an education, open a business, save for retirement...." [Wrong! The economic crisis was precipitated by federal-government law or rules. In the case of trading stocks and bonds on Wall Street, prices are set by the market forces, and people decide to buy or not buy, and there is a risk to any investment, and if a person dealing in the stock market gains money, some other loses money. Generally speaking, when a person makes a stock-market action, such as if I were to buy stock in typerwriter-making company, the action does not affect some other person's world of buying a house or paying for an education or setting up a business or saving for retirement. Really, Barack Obama's two ideas--"behind every dollar traded or leveraged" and "there's a family looking to buy a house or pay for an education, open a business, save for retirement"--are unrelated.]
"...The system as it stands is what led to a series of massive costly taxpayer bailouts, and it's only with reform that we can avoid a similar outcome in the future. In other words, a vote for reform is a vote to put a stop to taxpayer-funded bailouts, and that's the truth...." [Liar! Remember: Barack Obama is a perpetual liar, as is shown in this document. It is very unlikely the federal government would not get involved in bailouts in the future. In any case, the financial reform that Barack Obama is really pushing for is that in which the federal government controls the entire financial industry of the country and can at a whim take over financial institutions, which you can learn about by reading my document entitled Barack Obama's Banks: Congress, Give Me the Power, and I Will Control All of Them, which can be reached by using this link: Banks.]
"...Markets operated in the shadows of our economy, invisible to regulators, invisible to the public, so reckless practices were rampant, risks accrued until they threatened our entire financial system. That's why these reforms are designed to respect legitimate activities but prevent reckless risk-taking...." [Barack Obama passed along a lot of crap in this statement. What is "reckless risk-taking" to Barack Obama? What are "legitimate activities" for Barack Obama? In life, an individual who does anything must determine what risks are involved, and one person may have a higher tolerance for risk than another person has, or one person is very likely to have a different tolerance for risk than another person has, and some people rarely take a risk, and those people achieve nothing.]
"...These Wall Street reforms will give shareholders new power in the financial system. They will get what we call 'a say on pay,' a voice with respect to the salaries and bonuses awarded the top executives. Americans don't begrudge anybody for success when that success is earned. When we read in the past and sometimes in the present about the enormous executive bonuses at firms, even as they're relying on assistance from taxpayers or they're taking huge risks that threaten the system as a whole or their company's doing badly, it offends our fundamental values...." [Ugh! Oh, if Barack Obama gets to the power to take over any financial institution at a whim, whatever new powers that shareholders will supposedly ended up with through a financial-reform act will be trumped all the time by the federal government, because the federal government is not going to give up control to shareholders, wanting all the power. Anyway, in companies with shareholders who can propose things to adopt and who can vote on proposals, shareholders can affect the pay of executives, and the marketplace affects the pay of executives and all people who work.]
Note: April 22, 2010--this day was the day in which new rules about renovating and rebuilding houses built before 1978 went into effect (supposedly the rules were set up because of existing lead paint in buildings). For example, contractors or workers who work on houses have spend money and attend a one-day course (the Remodelers, Renovators, and Painters Course) to get certified in relation to new the EPA rules. For any violation, a contractor or worker can be fined up to $37,500. Of course, the rules increase the costs of renovating and rebuilding houses to homeowners, since costs get passed on to customers.Friday, April 23, 2010 (a statement to the press about new immigration rules for police in Arizona):
"...Indeed, our failure to act responsibly at the federal level will only open the door to irresponsibility by others. That includes, for example, the recent efforts in Arizona, which threaten to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans as well as the trust between police and their communities that is so crucial to keeping us safe. In fact, I've instructed members of my administration to closely monitor the situation and the civil rights and other implications of this legislation, but if we continue to fail to act at a federal level, we will see misguided efforts opening up around the country. As a nation, as a people, we can choose a different future, a future that keeps faith with our history, with our heritage, and with hope that America has always inspired in hearts of over the world...." [In Arizona, U.S. citizens, which include police officers, plumbers, ranchers, et cetera, are having trouble with illegal aliens from Mexico and with gangs involved in the illegal-drug trade, and the citizens want to fight back and get their state under control; by the way, recently, the citizens of Arizona have been having trouble with big-time crimes, such as the killing of a rancher (a man named Robert Krentz) in March 2010, and politicians, police officers, and others have been calling for U.S. troops to be stationed at the border between Mexico and at least Arizona. It has been widely known that Barack Obama and the Democrats in the U.S. Congress want to pass immigration reform soon or "quickly," which will allow illegal aliens in this country to become, in essence, instant citizens of the country (Barack Obama and his associates have already given illegal aliens--through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010--medical care, and now illegal aliens from anywhere can come in to the country and get free medical care, which is going to help destroy the United States of America. Through the set of words from Barack Obama that make up this section, you can see Barack Obama cares more about illegal aliens, especially those from Mexico and Latin America, than the real citizens of the United States of America (or, simply, the United States of America). He has not sent troops to the border between the United States of America and Mexico to protect the people of the United States of America. By the way, the United States of America has had immigration laws going back to the early decades of this country--you cannot let just anybody in, as Barack Obama wants to do, because, for one, you will economically destroy the country or you will bankrupt the country (other people of countries have rules about who can and who cannot come in to their countries). It is also clear Barack Obama cares more for illegal aliens than for true U.S. citizens (such as those born here or those who are naturalized citizens) through a statement that he made in Georgia during a speech on July 8, 2008, a part of which was "...you need to make sure your children can speak Spanish...." (Note: See the section called "P.S. #4:" below). If you look at the material spoken by Barack Obama in this section, you will see that Barack Obama cares more for the "civil rights" of illegal aliens (the persons who are in the country illegally) than the true citizens of the country, and you can see that Barack Obama sees the people in Arizona as "misguided." On this day--April 23, 2010--the State of Arizona passed a law in which police were given more powers to deal with illegal aliens, and I say, "That is the way it should be." Illegal aliens are, in essence, citizens of other countries who are violating the laws of the United States of America. Incidentally, go to some other country--there, you will discover you have no United States of America rights anymore and you are subject to all the laws of that country and all the defective ways of that country. In addition, Barack Obama said that "...we can choose a different future...." What is a "different future" to Barack Obama? I want, as you should, a future in which people from other countries who are illegally in this country are dealt with under the laws of the United States of America. It seems to me Barack Obama will never define what a "different future" really means, because you would probably dislike it. It does seem to me his "different future" isn one in which the United States of America has open borders--which allow anyone to come in at anytime and to get free stuff. Remember: Since the 1800s, the United States of America has had various immigration laws that it has enforced and used to allow only some people into the country, such as those without bad diseases or those who have no bad criminal backgrounds.]
Note: Be sure to see the entry for Tuesday, April 27, 2010.Monday, April 26, 2010 (video message for the entity known as Organizing for America, a highly left-wing activitist group focusing on Barack Obama):
"...This year, we're gonna reconnect with voters like Claudia Schultz*. At twenty-nine years old, Claudia had never been involved in the political process because she didn't think one person could make a difference, but, in 2008, Claudia joined millions of other supporters like you and made her first-ever trip to the polls. In 2010, it will be up to each of you to ask folks like Claudia to stay involved and to explain why this year the stakes are higher than ever. It will be up to each of you to make sure that the young people, African-Americans, Latinos, and women who powered our victory in 2008 stand together once again. It will be up to each of you to keep our nation moving forward and to keep building a fairer and stronger and more just America...." [You should see through Barack Obama's saying 'more just America' that Barack Obama has little respect for the United States of America. To Barack Obama, the United States of America must be such a terrible place. *Note: I may have the spelling of this woman incorrect.]Tuesday, April 27, 2010 (at a town-hall meeting in Ottumawa, Iowa):
"...But, now, suddenly, if you don't have your papers, and you took your kid out to get ice cream, you're going to be harassed. That's something that could potentially happen. I, I, that's not the right way to go...." [The subject in Barack Obama's mind was Hispanic Americans and the new immigration law enacted in Arizona, which was not scheduled to go into effect until the summer of 2010. What Barack Obama did through this statement was "race bait." Yes, a U.S. President was purposely working to stir up racial hate or make people of Spanish descent become angry! The new law in Arizona is designed to give police more powers to deal with illegal aliens in Arizona, but the law does not allow police in Arizona to approach people solely on race and do anything that can be thought of as "racial profiling," but Barack Obama--the such a piece of garbage of a man--put forth the argument that Hispanic Americans now are going to be treated as criminals or now have to worry that the police are going to harass them, and that is not true. By the way, "Hispanic Americans" are citizens of the United States of America, and such individuals have nothing to worry about, since they can prove they are citizens of the country, having, for example, mostly likely, a valid license to drive or a voter-registration card. It must be remembered the citizens of Arizona--one the states of the United States of America--is getting no help from Barack Obama with the problems of illegal aliens, such as drug smugglers and killers, and the citizens of Arizona are trying to protect themselves from such persons as the drug smugglers and killers who have brought their drug wars and other crimes to Arizona.]
Note: Be sure to see the entry for Friday, April 23, 2010.Friday, April 30, 2010 (a press event in the Rose Garden of the Capitol in Washington, D.C., focusing on the oil-rig disaster in the Gulf of Mexico):
"...I have dispatched the Secretaries of Interior and Homeland Security, as well as the administrator of the EPA, my assistant for Energy and Climate Change Policy, and, ah, the NOAA administrator to the Gulf Coast to ensure that we continue to do everything necessary to respond to this event, and I expect their reports from the ground today. As I said yesterday, BP is ultimately responsible under the law for paying the cost of response and clean-up operations, but we are fully prepared to meet our responsibilities to any and all affected communities, and that's why we've been working closely with state and local authorities since the day of the explosion. I've ordered Secretary Salazar to conduct a thorough review of this incident and report back to me in thirty days on what if any additional precautions and technologies should be required to prevent accidents like this from happening again...." [Ugh! On April 20, 2010, an oil rig blew up in the Gulf of Mexico, somewhere near Louisiana, and, on April 30, 2010, Barack Obama held his second press event about the incident (he had made a statement on Thursday, April 29, 2010), and only at this time did it really seem Barack Obama was getting involved and mobilizing anybody. By the way, the Energy and Climate Change Policy position is one of the many, many "czar" positions in the Obama administration, each of which is an unelected position and a position involving no U.S. Congress confirmation process, and each person in a "czar" position gets paid something or other to do something or other. On Friday, April 30, 2010, news entities reported that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder was sending attorneys of the U.S. Department of Justice to the area of the oil-rig explosion (Vicini, James, and Jeremy Pelofsky. "UPDATE 1-US Justice Dept sends team to monitor oil spill." Reuters, 30 April 2010.); up to this point, there had been no news stories about Barack Obama's having called for a big mobilization of Navy or U.S. Coast Guard ships or whatever to help out in the area of the destroyed oil rig. Commentary: I have to say this--I am aware Barack Obama wants to damage the United States of America, and I would not be surprised if Barack Obama, since the explosion, had been stalling on do anything about the incident so that oil would actually get to U.S. beaches in the Gulf of Mexico and damage beaches and Barack Obama could use the disaster to put more holds on the drilling of oil in waters associated with the United States of America (I know Barack Obama is a defective man and evil man).]Saturday, May 1, 2010 (at the Commencement Event for the Class of 2010 of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan):
"...Now, some of this contentiousness can be attributed to the incredibly difficult moment in which we find ourselves as a nation. The fact is, when you leave here today, you will search for work in an economy that is still emerging from the worst crisis since the Great Depression. You live in a century where the speed with which jobs and industries move across the global that's forcing America to compete like never before. You'll raise your children at a time when threats like terrorism and climate change aren't confined within the borders of any one country...." [Generally speaking, the entire event, which had such speakers as Jennifer Granholm (the governor of Michigan) and the president of the university, was a socialism-themed event, especially as shown by the speech given by a dean of the university, Dean McDonald, and much of the event focused on Barack Obama, who gave another indoctrination speech, as I will be show through all the examples of statements from his speech presented in this section, and there were lies, as can be seen by Barack Obama's pushing the lie of "climate change" as a threat through this set of sentences from Barack Obama.]
"...If you enter the arena [of politics], you should expect to get roughed up. Moreover, democracy in a nation of more than three-hundred-million people is inherently difficult. It's always been noisy and messy, contentious, complicated. We've been fighting about the proper size and role of government since the days the framers gathered in Philadelphia We've battled over the meaning of individual freedom and equality since the Bills of Rights was drafted...." [We have not "battled over the meaning of individual freedom and equality." It is, for example, the Bills of Rights that define rights of the individual and define freedoms. There should be no battle now about "individual freedom and equality." The battle should be to preserve "individual freedom and equality" as presented in, for example, The U.S. Constitution, which lately has been trampled on by Barack Obama, such as by enacting the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010.]
"...The truth is the debate we've had for decades now between more government and less government, it's doesn't really fit the times in which we live. We know too much government can stifle competition and deprive us of choice and burden us with debt. But we've also clearly seen the dangers of too little government, like when a lack of accountability on Wall Street nearly leads to the collapse of our entire economy...." [And the crowd like willing sheep gave a long applause, though what they had heard about "too little government" was a lie, given that the federal government was instrumental in causing the economic collapse of 2008.]
"...So, Class of 2010, what we should be asking is not whether we need big government of a small government, but how we can create a smarter and better government...." [We do not need to create "a smarter and better government," as Barack Obama promotes. The basis for the federal government is well designed through The U.S. Constitution. But is is clear, through statements made by Barack Obama in the past, that Barack Obama does not like the former of government that the United States of America has. What is "a smarter and better government" to Barack Obama? It does seems that Barack Obama sees himself as a really smart man, so it looks as if "a smarter and better government" to him is him.]
"...Government shouldn't try to dictate your lives, but it should give you the tools you need to succeed...." [Okay. Think! What "tools" should the government give to people? What are the "tools" that you need to succeed? Government cannot determine what you need to succeed, because, for one, what a person hopes to be may not be what really would lead to a person's achieving success (and, anyway, what is success for one person may not be success for another person). The government cannot predict how well you will do in life and when you will succeed (if you ever succeed). Yet, if you buy Barack Obama's argument, you think you have to wait for the government to give you the "tools." In life, you have to learn what tools you need and get them or find them. Each person is very likely to have a slightly different collection of "tools" or skills, and, generally speaking, a person has to develop skills or tools through practice and work and trial and error.]
"...You can disagree with a certain policy without demonizing the person who espouses it. You can question somebody's views and their judgment without questioning their motives or their patriotism. Throwing around phrases like 'socialist,' 'Soviet-style takeover,' and 'fascist' and 'right-wing nut,' that may grab headlines, but it also has the effect of comparing our government, our political opponents to authoritarian, even murderous regimes. Now, we've seen this kind of politics in the past. It's been practiced by both fringes of the ideological spectrum--by the left and the right--since our nation's birth, but it's starting to creep into the center of our discourse. And the problem with it is not the hurt feelings and the bruised egos of the public officials who are criticized. Remember, they've signed up for it. Michelle always reminds me of that. The problem is that this kind of vilification and over-the-top rhetoric closes the door to the possibility of compromise. It undermines democratic deliberation. It prevents learning, since, after all, why should be listen to a fascist or a socialist or a right-wing nut or a left-wing nut. It makes it nearly impossible for people who have legitimate but bridgeable differences to sit down at the same table and hash things out. It robs us of a rational and serious debate--the one we need to have about the very real and very big challenges facing this nation...." [Two persons can disagree on all types of matters, but in some matters, there should be no compromising. A person may compromise on the color or type of car to buy, and a person may compromise on what to have for dinner, but, a person should not compromise and give into the ways of socialism, communism, fascism, and such. History shows that socialism, communism, fascism, and such are bad for the individual, and they are variations of totalitarianism! Here, Barack Obama, who is most certainly a communist and more, worked to make the audience think about forgetting socialism, communism, fascism, and such as bad so that the audience will be more receptive to persons who push such ideas and be willing to compromise with such persons. You cannot compromise with a crazy person or a crazy man, and you cannot give up freedom to compromise with those who promote socialism, communism, fascism, and the like. The United States of America is not based on socialism, communism, fascism, and such, so why would you want to compromise your better principles for those of the socialist, the communist, the fascist, and such. Keep in mind: You do not avoid calling a person what the person is, and if the person is, for example, a communist, which is not a good person, should be called a communist, and, remember, the "right-wing nut" as hinted at by Barack Obama is the "conservative," the person who upholds the ways of The U.S. Constitution.]
"...If, if electoral politics isn't your thing, continue the tradition so many of you started here at Michigan and find a way to serve your community and country--an act that will help you stay connected to your fellow citizens and improve the lives of those around you...." [By the way, Barack Obama's idea of serving the community is to work for the "common good," that theme promoted by the Marxist (such as the communist) and defined and set daily by the Marxist politician.]Tuesday, May 4, 2010:
"...It has failed because ordinary citizens were vigilant and reported suspicious activity to authorities. It failed because these authorities--local, state, and federal--acted quickly and did what they're trained to do...." [Barack Obama was referring to the terrorist's attempt to set off a bomb in Times Square in New York City, New York, on Saturday, May 1, 2010, which failed because the terrorist failed.]
"...I've said, since the very beginning of my administration, we can't just rebuild the economy to where it was, we're gonna have to rebuild it stronger than before. We got to rebuild it on a new foundation of lasting growth! We have to tackle structural problems from education to energy, from our financial system to our health-care system, from our trade imbalance to our fiscal imbalance...." [No government can build an economy that will always have "lasting growth." Again, Barack Obama simply ran off the mouth! And, anyway, no government entity is smart enough to control the business done by millions and millions of persons on a daily basis and make things work out well.]
"...Government can build the infrastructure that allows products and services to reach cus, ah, customers. Government can create incentives and clean energy, for example, and promote innovation and exports. This things are public goods that no business, no individual is gonna provide on their own...." [This set of words from Barack Obama is more crap. For more than two-hundred years, individuals and businesses have created things and whatever without the help of government, and, in fact, government has been rarely involved; the individuals and businesses have seen opportunities to fix problems, deal with life, make life better, et cetera, and the individuals and businesses--which have to do something in life, because that is the way of life--create and build. Again, Barack Obama put down individuals who create businesses and put down private businesses in general, but that is the way of a man with hate in his mind for the United States of America, which is not a haven for communists to easily work to hurt other persons and control other persons.]Wednesday, May 5, 2010 (on the Spanish-type holiday called "Cinco de Mayo"):
"...The answer isn't to undermine fundamental principles that define us as a nation. We can't start singling out people because of who they look like or how they talk or how they dress. We can't turn law-abiding Americans citizens and law-abiding immigrants into subjects suspicion and abuse. We can't divide the American people that way. That's not the answer, that's not who we are as the United States of America...." [The subject is really the new immigration-type law enacted in Arizona, which is a law that helps police in Arizona deal with illegal aliens. America is made up of people of all types of races. The new law in Arizona is not one that is specific to a certain race of people; it is a law related to illegal aliens, who are people who are in the country illegally (they are violating laws in the United States of America about being in the country, which are, in essence, like laws about illegal aliens that all countries have). Here, Barack Obama was trying to suggest the new law is designed to go after certain types of people, and what was implied is Spanish-type persons, hoping, it seems to me, to rile up Spanish-type people in the country, especially in Arizona. The new law in Arizona is not designed to allow abuse of "law-abiding American citizens and law-abiding immigrants." It can be argued well by me that Barack Obama purposely did "racing baiting" by speaking these words.]Friday, May 7, 2010 (the day that unemployment statistics were released):
"...From the first days of this administration, amidst the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, I've said that the truest measure of progress would be whether or not we were creating jobs. Today, I'm happy to report that we received encouraging news. In April, the economy added two-hundred-and-ninty-thousand jobs, with the vast majority--approximately two-hundred-thirty-thousand--coming from the private section. This is the largest monthly increase in four years, and we created a hundred-twenty-one-thousand more jobs in February and March than previously estimated, which means we've now seen job growth for four months in a row. These numbers are particularly heartening when you consider where we were a year ago with an economy in free fall..." [This section has four main blocks of material from Barack Obama, and when you study this section, keep in mind that general unemployment rate went up, going up a bit to 9.9 percent, and the "U6" unemployment rate went up a bit, going to 17.1 percent, so, really, it was the general unemployment rate that when up and the full-feature unemployment rate that went up (the latter of which takes into account, for example, people who work part time and are looking for full-time employment), and both figures showed increases even though a tens of thousands people became employed with the government to do census work.]
"...I should also note the unemployment rate ticked up slightly from 9.7 to 9.9. Given the strength of these jobs numbers, this may seem contradictory, but this increase is largely a reflection of the fact that workers who had dropped out of the work force entirely are now seeing jobs again--and are now seeking jobs again--ah, encouraged by better prospects...."
"...I want to speak to the unusual market activity that took place yesterday on Wall Street. The regulatory authorities are evaluating this closely with a concern for protecting investors and preventing this from happening again, and they will make findings of their review public along with recommendations for appropriate action. I also spoke this morning with German Chancellor Merkel regarding economic and financial developments in Europe. We agreed on the importance of a strong policy response by the affected countries and a strong financial response from the international community. I made clear that the United States supports these efforts and will continue to cooperate...." [Note: On May 6, 2010, the Dow Jones Industrial Average went down, achieving at one point a drop of 998 points and going down 700 points during one fifteen-minute period, and, at the end of the day, the Dow Jones Industrial Average went down 347.90 points over the closing figure of the previous day.]
"...So, yes, we've got a ways to go, ah, but we've also come a very long way, and we can see that the difficult and at times unpopular steps that we've taken over the past year are making a difference...." [I very, very, very informally ask--What'd dat guy say?]Sunday, May 9, 2010 (at Hampton University, Hampton, Virginia, for a commencement speech):
"...You are coming of age in a twenty-four-seven media environment that bombards us with all kinds of content and exposes us to all kinds of arguments, some of which don't always rank that high on the truth meter. And with iPods and IPads and Xboxes and PlayStations--none of which I know how to work--information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than a means of epancipation [emancipation]. So, all of this is not only putting pressure on you, it's putting new pressure on our country and on our democracy...." [I note to begin with that Xboxes and PlayStations are not information devices--they are game machines, and they can be discounted as sources of information. You have before you a very, very long document that displays what I will call here countless lies uttered by Barack Obama, yet Barack Obama, here, talked about a "truth meter." Truthful and useful information is not a form of entertainment, and truthful and useful information does not put new pressure on, for example, "our democracy."]
"...With so many voices clamoring for attention on blogs, and on cable, on talk radio, it can be difficult, at times, to sift through it all, to know what to believe, ta figure out who's tellin' the truth and who's not. Let's face it, even some of the craziest claims can quickly gra, gain traction. I've had some experience, ah, in that regard...." [Knowing what I do about Detroit, Michigan, and how Detroit has evolved into a "Dead City" since the 1970s, I will say that Barack Obama came to this university so that he could work to keep black men and black women misinformed and enslaved to him. Within the past year or so, the Barack Obama administration has attacked and even urged people to stop paying attention to such entities or persons as Rush Limbaugh and the Fox News Channel. Yes, Barack Obama was trying to put down his opponents in the media so that the students might avoid them and listen more to him.]Friday, May 14, 2010 (the topic was the oil-rig leak in the Gulf of Mexico):
"...Let me tell you it is in anger and frustration that I share as President, and I'm not going to rest or be satisfied until the leak is stopped at the source, the oil in the Gulf is contained and cleaned up, and the people of the Gulf are able to go back to their lives and their livelihoods...." [Hurray! (I said that word in jest.) Barack Obama is taking up the fight, and Barack Obama will not rest. Yet it must be remembered that, after the oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, it took him about eight days to even talk about the oil-rig disaster in the Gulf of Mexico (and, by the way, I have yet to hear Barack Obama talk about the men who died in the disaster, and several weeks after the oil-rig explosion took place, a big flood--if not a "historic" flood--hit western Tennessee, and Barack Obama had little to say about it publicly.]
"...I know BP is committed to pay for the response effort, and we will hold them to their obligation. I have to say, though, that I did not appreciate, ah, what I consider to be a ridiculous spectacle, ah, during the Congressional hearings into this matter. Yet, executives of BP and Transocean and Halliburton falling over each other to point the finger of blame at somebody else. The American people could not have been impressed with that display. And I certainly wasn't!...." [On May 11, 2010, executives of British Petroleum (or BP), Transocean, and Halliburton appeared at a U.S. Senate hearing. Here, you can see that the dictator--Barack Obama--was not pleased with what had happened at the hearing, which I say was nothing more than a media show. It seems very unlikely to me that the Barack Obama administration was not involved in making sure the executives were sort of put on trial in the hearing before the public. Ask yourself--What was accomplished by having the hearing? Incidentally, on May 14, 2010, the oil leak was not yet stopped. Ask yourself--Would it have not been better for the executives to be working on the problem than be in a U.S. Senate hearing on this date?]
"...And for that, there is enough responsibility to go around, and all parties should be willing to accept it. That includes, by the way, the federal government. For too long--for a decade or more--there's been a cozy relationship between the oil companies and the federal agency that permits them to drill. Seems as if permits were too often issued based on little more than assurances of safety from the oil companies. That cannot and will not happen anymore...." [For many years, the oil industry--such as the oil-drilling segment of the industry--has been highly regulated, and there have been few disasters, considering how much oil drilling is going on and has been going on, as you can discover by doing research. You should see Barack Obama implied that the oil industry has been poorly regulated over the last decade or so, which was mostly during the time of the U.S. President George Bush administration, one member of whom was Dick Cheney (who was the U.S. Vice President), who, during one period of his life, worked for Halliburton.]
"...The oil companies share it. The manufacturers of this equipment share it. The agencies in the federal government in charge of oversight share that responsibility. I will not tolerate more finger pointing or irresponsibility!...." [Yes, here, through this set of words, Barack Obama showed that he was putting his foot down and would not 'tolerate' any more finger pointing and irresponsibility. I ask in jest--Are you not impressed?]Wednesday, May 19, 2010 (a press conference in the Rose Garden of the White House with the President of Mexico, Felipe Calderon):
"...We also discussed a new law in Arizona, which is a misdirected effort, a misdirected expression of frustration over our broken immigration system and which has raised concerns in both of our countries. Illegal immigration is down and up, and we will continue to do what's necessary to secure our shared border. And I want everyone--American and Mexican--to know my administration is taking a very close at the Arizona law. We're examining any implications, especially or civil rights, because, in the United States of America, no law-abiding person, be they an American citizen a legal immigrant or a visitor or tourist from Mexico, should ever be subject to suspicion simply because of what they look like...." [The law to which Barack Obama referred is the Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act, which had been signed into law in Arizona on April 23, 2010. It is a law that, in essence, restates federal law, which, for one, the Barack Obama administration has not been enforcing well over the last year at least. Here, besides lying about what the law is, Barack Obama orally attacked the citizens of Arizona, even though the citizens are having great problems with illegal aliens, such as drug smugglers, as the citizens have been for well over a decade. (You are urged to see my document entitled Illegal Aliens and Immigration: The Focus is Protecting the Home--The United States of America, which can be reached by using this link: Illegal.)]
"...A fair reading of the language of the statute indicates that it gives the possibility of individuals who are deemed suspicious of being illegal aliens from being harassed or arrested, and the judgments that are going to be made in applying this law are troublesome...." [Ask yourself--To Barack Obama, what is a "fair reading" of something? To Barack Obama, a law that blocks illegal immigrants from coming in to the country and staying in the country must indeed be "troublesome." And, oh, yes, Barack Obama lied again, such as by saying the law has been designed allow police to possibly harass people.]
"...To fix our broken immigration system, I reaffirmed my deep commitment to working with Congress in a bipartisan way to pass comprehensive immigration reform. Comprehensive reform means accountability for everybody--government that is accountable for securing the border, businesses being held accountable when they exploit workers, people who break the law by breaching our borders being held accountable by paying taxes...." [Notice how Barack Obama pushed the idea of not sending illegal aliens out of the country or putting them in jail, as happens in Mexico, but forcing them to pay taxes, and it seems to me Barack Obama would allow illegal aliens to stay in the country and allow illegal aliens to keep entering the country unchecked!]
"...The second thing we got to do is we've got to make sure businesses are following the rules and are not actively recruiting undocumented workers so that they don't have ta abide by overtime laws, they don't have to abide by minimum-wage laws, they don't have to abide by worker-safety laws, and otherwise undercut basic worker protections that exist, ah, and they have to be held accountable and responsible...." [Federal law in the United States of America requires people from other countries--foreigners of whatever kind--who are in the United States of America to carry "papers" or I.D. papers, and since April 23, 2010, I have heard some prominent people imply it is so horrible that people from other countries have to carry "papers." If the government does not press the issue that foreigners must carry "papers, how can businesses prove who people are and whether or not people are illegal aliens? Remember: Illegal aliens are lawbreakers.]Friday, May 21, 2010 (at the signing of another piece of paper, another order, another something--this time about fuel-efficiency standards):
"...We know that our dependence on foreign oil endangers our security and economy. We know that climate change poses a threat to our way of life. In fact, we're already seeing some of the profound and costly impacts. And the disaster in the Gulf only underscores that, even as we pursue domestic production to reduce our reliance on imported oil, our long-term security depends on the development of alternative soarches of fuel and new transportation technologies...." [I use "soarches" because it sounded like that. It seems Barack Obama wanted to say the word "sources." Barack Obama goofed! Oh, what Barack Obama said was a set of useless words.]
"...Today, we're supporting the development of advance battery technologies. We're doubling the capacity to generate renewable electricity. We're building a stronger, smarter electric grid, which will be essential ta powering the millions of plug-in hybrids and, ah, cars and trucks that we hope to see on the roads...." [Here, what we were given is just empty words, but if you want to see A Collection of Words--Just Words--That Show Dangerous People, use this link: Words.]On Monday, May 24, 2010 (on graduating day for at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York):
"...We have to shape an international order that can meet the challenges of our generation. We will be steadfast and strengthening those old alliances that have served us so well, including those who will serve by your side in Afghanistan and around the globe. As influence extends to more countries and capitals, we also have to build more partnerships and shape stronger international standards and institutions. This engagement is not an end in itself. The international order we seek is one that can resolve the challenges of our times, countering violent extremism and insurgence, stopping the spread of nuclear weapons, securing nuclear materials, combating and changing climate, and sustaining global growth, helping countries feed themselves and care for their sick, preventing conflict, and healing wounds...." [Yes, Barack Obama did say this nonsense to the graduating class at the United States Military Academy, even though Barack Obama has been giving at least one ally the cold shoulder--Israel. Ask yourself--What is the new "international order" that rests in Barack Obama's mind? And in jest I say, "It seems Barack Obama is going to send the troops out to fight global warming, and, maybe, he will give the troops hand-held fans to fan the air and cool it down."]On Tuesday, May 25, 2010 (at a fund-raiser in San Francisco for U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer, a Democrat):
"...Nobody, ah, is more upset than me, because, ultimately, like any President, when this happens on your watch, then every day you are thinking--How does this get solved?...." [Barack Obama was referring to the oil-rig disaster of the Gulf of Mexico, which had started on April 20, 2010, and, so far, Barack Obama has not really done much in relation to the incident.]On Wednesday, May 26, 2010 (a solar-panel manufacturing plant in California):
"...Earlier today, I spoke ta Energy Secretary Steve Chu, who as you know is a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, and he's been on the scene in the Gulf, deeply involved in our efforts to bring this crisis to an end, and we discussed today's attempt to stop the leak. If it's successful--and there're no guarantees--it should greatly reduce or eliminate the flow of oil now streaming in to the Gulf from the sea floor...." [Wow! Barack Obama sent a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, who is not normally involved in plugging holes, especially a hole that is in deep water, to the Gulf of Mexico. Oh, Barack Obama has a Nobel Prize. Wow! I say in jest, "We have two Nobel Prize-winning geniuses working on the problem, and I am so impressed!" Oh, what does Barack Obama know about capping an oil leak?]
"...My administration is intensively engaged with scientists and engineers ta explore all alternative options, and we're going to bring every resource necessary to put a stop to this thing. A lot of damage has been done already--livelihoods destroyed, landscapes scarred, wildlife affected, lives have been lost. Our thoughts and prayers are very much with people along the Gulf Coast. Let me reiterate--we will not rest until this well is shut, and the cleanup is complete...." [Liar!]
"...Even as we are dealing with this immediate crisis, we've got to remember that the risks our dependence on oil holds holds for our environment and our coast communities is not the only cost involved in our dependence on these fossils fuels. Around the world, from China to Germany, our competitors are waging a historic effort to lead in developing new energy technologies. They're factories like this being built in China. Factories like this being built in Germany...." [By the way, on this day, workers who had been building a new plant close by were given the day off without pay, as was noted in a television reported done by a reporter of KRON-TV, and they were told to take the day off for security reasons related to Barack Obama.]Thursday, May 27, 2010 (a press conference):
"...When I woke up this morning, ah, and I'm shavin', and Malia knocks on my bathroom door and she peaks in her head, and she says, ah, ah, 'Did ya plug the hole yet, daddy?...." [This may or may not be a lie--I bet on a lie--but it surely is something that can make a listener gag!]
"...The day that the rig collapsed and fell to the bottom of the ocean, I had my team in the oval office that first day. Those who think that we were either slow on our response or lacked urgency don't know the facts. This has been our highest priority since this crisis occurred. We understood from day one the potential enormity of this crisis and acted accordingly. People are gonna be frustrated until it stops. And I understand that. If you're livin' on the coasts, and you see this sludge comin' at you, you're going to be continually upset, and from your perspective, the response is going to be continually inadequate until it actually stops. That's entirely appropriate...." [So, the team got together on the first day, but it took about eight days before Barack Obama made any good public comment on the event. Oh, I guess to Barack Obama thought that this event was so important that he felt it unnecessary to talk about the very bad flooding that hit Tennessee, such as at Nashville, a few days after the oil-rig had exploded.]
"...The American people should know that, from the moment that this disaster began, the federal government has been in charge of the response effort...." [Do you believe what Barack Obama said?]
"...This notion that somehow the federal government is sitting on the sidelines and for the last three or four or five weeks, we've just been letting BP make a whole bunch of decisions is simply not true. What is true is that, when it comes to stopping the leak down below, the federal government does not possess superior technology to BP. We had a meeting down in the situation in which I specifically asked Bob Gates and Mike Mullen what assets do we have to potential help that BP or oil companies around the world do not have. We do not have superior technology when it comes to dealing with particular crisis. Now, one of the legitimate questions that I think to be asked is--Should the federal government have such a capacity?...." [Yes, the federal government may not have superior technology to stop the leak, but it does have the ability to mobilize people and equipment to deal with the oil that has escaped and is, for example, on the surface of the water, and the federal government can find ways to bring in equipment from other nations to help out.]
"...Let's take the example of Governor Jindal's barrier islands idea. When I met with him when I was down there two weeks ago, I said, 'I will make sure that our team immediately reviews this idea.' The Army Corps of Engineers is looking at the feasibility of it, and if they think, if they tell me that this is the best approach to dealing with this problem, then we're goin' move quickly to execute. If they have a disagreement with Governor Jindal's experts as to whether this would be effective or not, whether it was going to be cost effective given the other things that need to be done. Then, we'll sit down a try to figure that out. And that's essentially what's happened, which is why today you saw an announcement where from the Army Corps perspective, there were some areas where this might work, but there's some areas where it would be counter productive and not a good use of resources...." [This answer was in response to a question that had been asked by Jake Tapper of ABC News), who, for one, noted that Barack Obama said that everything that can be done is being done, but some people say that the federal government has been at least lax. The "Jindal" referred to by Barack Obama is Bobby Jindal, who is the governor of Louisiana. Notice that Barack Obama mentioned "cost effective" in his statement. When the goal is to stop oil from getting to shores of the Gulf of Mexico, what is not cost effective? And Barack Obama hinted that at some places Bobby Jindal's plan to set up island barriers would be useful. Why not use Bobby Jindal's plan where it would be useful, instead of doing nothing?]
"...With respect to Ms. Birnbaum, I found out about her resignation today. Ken Salazar has been in testimony, ah, throughout the day, so I don't know the circumstances in which this occurred...." [This statement is related to news that Elizabeth Birnbaum of MMS resigned.]
"...We did. Part of the problem we've got is--let's take that example of boom--ah, the way the plans have been developed, and I'm not an expert on this, but this as it's.been explained to me, ah, pre-deploying boom would have been the right thing to do, making sure that there is boom right there in the region at various spots where you could anticipate if there was a spill of this size, the boom would be right there ready to grab. Un, unfortunately, that what's always the case. When it comes to prior to this accident happening, I think there was a lack of anticipating what the worst-case scenarios would, ah, would be, and that's a problem...." [Here is a fact of life--No person can plan for every potential disaster or every worst-cast scenarios.]
"...There will be an official response shortly on the Sestak issue, ah, which I hope will answer your questions. You will get it from my administration, and it, it will be coming out--when I ay shortly, I mean shortly, I don't mean weeks or months. I can assure the public that nothing improper took place, but, as I said, there will be a response, ah, shortly on that issue...." [Note: I put this material here, but I do not comment on the material here. You are urged to see my document entitled The Joe Sestak Incident Discussed by Mark R. Levin on May 28, 2010 (with material from Larry Kane, which can be reached by using this link: Sestak.]
"...With the respect to the metaphor that was used, you know, I think Ken Salazar would probably be the first one to admit that he has been frustrated, angry, and occasionally emotion about this issue, like a lot of people have, and there are a lot of folks out there who see what's happening and are angry at BP or frustrated that it hasn't stopped, and so, you know, I'll let Ken answer for himself. I would say that, you know, we don't need to use language like that...." [On May 24, 2010, Ken Salazar (the head of the U.S. Department of the Interior) said: "...We will keep our boot on their neck until the job gets done...." The quotation means that the federal government will keep its boot on the neck of British Petroleum, which is the owner of the oil-rig setup that had exploded on April 20, 2010, and the "boot" idea--which was at least the second time that Ken Salazar had used the idea--is what a person might expect a thug, a Nazi soldier, or a communist "storm trooper" to say. (You are urged to see the "Ken Salazar" section of my document entitled THE CRUD AROUND BARACK OBAMA: My Rule--"Like Minds Get Together", which can be reached by using this link: Crud.)]
"...The fact that oil companies now have to go a mile under water and then drill another three miles below that in order to hit oil tells us something about the direction of the oil industry. Extraction is more expensive, and it is gonna inherently be more risky, and so that's part of the reason you never heard me say, 'Drill, baby, drill,' because we can't drill our way out of the problem...." [Barack Obama really showed his head is filled with mud by presenting us with this statement. (Let me leave oil shale out of the discussion here.) To get oil, people have had to drill since the 1800s, and they have had to drill deep--sometimes many miles down--because that is what it takes and has always taken. On this day, Barack Obama announced that he was blocking the issuing of any new oil-drilling permits and halting all exploration drilling off the coasts of Alaska and Virginia and for thirty-three wells that exist in the Gulf of Mexico, and that will put many persons out of work for about six months. In jest I say, "Yes, Barack Obama has come to save the day." Now, thousands of more persons will be put out of work. And you should clearly understand--Other countries or entities based in other countries are not stopping their work. I say in jest, "Yes, Barack Obama is looking out for the interests of the United States of America.]
"...I continue to believe what I said at that time, which was that domestic oil production is an important part of our overall energy mix. Where I was wrong was in my belief that the oil companies had their act together when it came to worst-case scenarios. Now that wasn't, ah, based on just my blind, ah, ah, acceptance on their statements. Oil drilling has been goin' on in the Gulf, including deep water, for quite some time, ah, and the record of, ah, accidents like this, we hadn't seen before...." [Yes, Barack Obama said that he is pro-oil. Yet, because of a problem with one oil rig--of the thousands that exist in the world--Barack Obama is going to block the ability of people of the United States of America from searching and exploring to find more oil. I disbelieve that Barack Obama is pro-oil for the United States of America, and that statement is made because I have come to understand what Barack Obama is and what he is doing.]Tuesday, June 1, 2010 (an appearance before press people had the oil-rig disaster as a topic):
"...And we will absolutely continue to hold BP and any other responsible parties accountable for financial loses born by the people in the region...." [See! I say in jest, "Barack Obama is yet working hard on the oil leak!" He took another hard-line stance.]
"...But our responsibility doesn't end there. We have an obligation to investigate what went wrong and to determine what reforms are needed so we never have experience a crisis like this again...." [I say in jest, "Yes, the all-mighty Barack Obama will be able to stop all future accidents and disasters."]
"...If the laws on our books are insufficient to prevent such a spill, the laws much changed." [Let me change the subject slightly. Have you ever watched a NASCAR race? Guys and gals--engineers and mechanics--do a lot of work to try to stop parts of race cars from breaking down under use; for example, they test steel parts before using them, such as by using X-rays to look for flaws. So, it seems to me, if Barack Obama would create a law that would stop any breakdowns from happening to NASCAR race cars, no NASCAR race car would ever break down again. Hurray! Oh, I say seriously, "Accidents happen, and you cannot stop all."]Wednesday, June 2, 2010 (at Carnegie-Mellon University, Pittsuburg, Pennsylvania):
"...We have to build a new and stronger foundation for growth and prosperity, and that's exactly what we've been doing the last sixteen months. It's a foundation based on investments in our people and their future, investments in the skills and education we need to compete, investments in a twenty-first century infrastructure for America from high-speed railroads to high-speed Internet, investments in research and technology, like clean energy that can lead to new jobs and new exports and new industries. New foundations are also based on reforms that will make our economy stronger and our businesses more competitive, reforms that will make health care cheaper, the financial system more secure, and our government less burdened with debt [To Barack Obama, "a new and stronger foundation" is what he--a communist and black radical--thinks "a new and stronger foundation" is, and that is an economic system completely controlled by government, particularly in this case, probably him. Much can be said about what Barack Obama presented in this quotation, but I cover only a couple points. Notice how that Barack Obama said: "...like clean energy that can lead to new jobs and new exports and new industries...." How can Barack Obama predict what will be created--he has neither a crystal ball nor a sound mind that can allow him to predict what will happen and be created in the future. Anyway, Barack Obama's history shows that Barack Obama has actually created nothing in the past, from a paper clip to a car or from a hair style to new type of wrench. And once again, Barack Obama lied about health care getting cheaper, and I hope you noticed his lie.]
"...They said no to tax cuts for small businesses, no to tax credits, no to investments in clean energy, they said no to protecting patients from insurance companies and consumers from big banks. Before I was even inaugurated, the Congressional leaders of the other party got together and made a calculation that if I failed, they'd win. Before we even had a health-care bill, a Republican Senator actually said, 'If we're able to stop Obama on this, it will be his Waterloo, it will break him.' So those we're very helpful signs...." [The "they" in this nonsense statement are the "Republicans." I am glad the Republicans--at least the good ones--have done what they could to block Barack Obama and are working to block Barack Obama. Barack Obama is crap, and I say that there is a time in life when a person has to say "no" or do nothing till a piece of crap of a man can be moved out of the way.]
"...America does not stand still--we move forward. And that's why I've said that, as we emerge from this recession, we can't afford to return to the pre-crisis status quo. We can't go back to an economy that was too dependent on bubbles and debt and financial speculation...." [Here was Barack Obama's attack on capitalism and push for a hard-line controlled socialistic or communistic economic system.]
"...For much of the last ten years, we've tried it their way. They gave us tax cuts that weren't paid for to millionaires who didn't need it...." [Barack Obama lied again. During the U.S. President George W. Bush administration, the tax cuts that were enacted were over all levels of income. But it must be made clear that taxes are going to be raised on everyone because of Barack Obama's actions since January 20, 2010, such as through the new taxes that exist in the Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act of 2010, which is the recently enacted health-care act.]
"...We consume more than twenty percent of the world's oil, but have less than two percent of the world's oil reserves, so without a major change in our energy policy, our dependence on oil means that we will continue to send billions of dollars of our hard-earned wealth to other countries every month, including countries in dangerous and unstable regions. In other words, our continued dependence on fossil fuels will jeopardize our national security, it will smother our planet, and it will continue to put our economy and our environment at risk...." [Once again, Barack Obama brings up the "20 percent"/two percent" thought, which is defective thought. I will work with Barack Obama's "20 percent" and "two percent," though they may not be correct. First, the United States of America uses "20 percent," because it is a country that does things and makes things (crude oil is involved in the processes to make gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, plastics, cosmetics, various types of oils (from sewing-machine oil to 10W30 oil), et cetera), and some countries, such as North Korea and Cuba, do nothing, because the people are unable to do anything, being blocked by the rules of their governments, such a communistic dictatorships. Second, the United States of America may--may--have only two percent of the oil reserves (which, as presented by Barack Obama, probably does not include oil in shale), but that two percent, which is the supposedly a minimum known amount, will last for decades and decades. Third, one reason that the United States of America gets oil from other countries is the Democratic Party has been instrumental in blocking the ability of U.S.-based companies from getting oil from U.S-associated lands and waters. Note: Look at the tenth quotation under the section listed as "May 27, 2010," which shows information about how Barack Obama has blocked some new drilling operations. Fourth, how does using oil put the environment at risk? I have shown that the manmade-global-warming idea is a hoax. (You are urged to see my document entitled "CAP AND TRADE" and Carbon Dioxide Facts and Nonsense, which shows information about "Climate-gate" and which can be reached by using this link: Carbon).]Thursday, June 3, 2010 (on Larry King Live):
"...I had a situation room meeting about a week-and-a-half ago, ah, where we got the report that this could be a more severe than normal hurricane season. And I asked, 'Well, how, how does, ah a potential oil spill interact with a hurricane?' Ah, and, ah, it turns out that eh--now these are all estimations and probabilities--it turns out that a big powerful hurricane ironically is probably, ah...less, ah, damaging with respect to the oil spill, ah, because it just disperses everything and the oil breaks up and, and degrades more quickly. Ah, it's, it's those tropical storms and tides that would just wash stuff in to the marshes that would really be an ecological disaster...." [On Thursday, June 3, 2010, and Friday, June 4, 2010, I was thinking of not listing anything from the recorded interview with Larry King that had been shown during Larry King Live on CNN on June 3, 2010, but then on Saturday June 5, 2010, I heard Barack Obama was going to appear on Today in an interview with Matt Lauer on Tuesday, June 8, 2010. Barack Obama seems to love to be before the press so that he can push his propaganda on the public and not do real work in Washington, D.C., as a worthwhile President would do. Almost every day, Barack Obama is speaking before cameras somewhere. Here, what I present of Barack Obama's interview with Larry King is useless information, but the text is something you can learn from. Read Barack Obama's statement--which was not aided by a teleprompter--and notice how well Barack Obama does not speak (when not aided a teleprompter). Barack Obama is basically nothing more than a average speaker or a mediocre speaker. I have shown you more of the evidence.]Monday, June 7, 2010 (at Kalamazoo Central High School, Kalamazoo, Michigan):
"...Don't make excuses. Take responsibility not just for your successes, take responsibility where you fall short as well...." [Again, Barack Obama preached before graduating students, and, yes, this set of words was said, but the words do not make up anything that Barack Obama follows, and the words were just more words from a defective mind.]Tuesday, June 8, 2010 (an interview with Matt Lauer on Today):
"...I was down there a month ago before most of these talkin' heads were even paying attention to the Gulf. A month ago, I was meeting with fishermen down there, standin' in the rain, talkin' about what a potential crisis this could be. And I don't sit around just talking to experts because this is a college, ah, seminar. We talked to these folks, because they potentially have the best answers, so I know whose ass to kick!...." [On this day, Barack Obama was in an informal interview with Matt Lauer and not an interview conducted in a hostile situation, and, yet, Barack Obama talked as you would expect a "street thug" to talk or a "gutter man" to talk. By the way, Barack Obama did indeed drop some "g"s when speaking, which is what, for example, a "street thug" might do. What Barack Obama showed through this statement, which was related to the oil-rig disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, is that he likes to play a man who can kick "ass." By the way, Barack Obama noted that he went to the area a month ago to talk to fishermen. What do fishermen know about capping an oil leak?]Tuesday, June 8, 2010 (during a teleconference with students in Maryland):
"...Beginning this week, tens of thousands of seniors who fall into the doughnut hole, like Fran*, will receive a two-hundred-fifty-dollar rebate check to help you cover the cost of your prescriptions. That will happen immediately. That's starting now...." [Two-hunded-fifty dollars is not much for a particular person, but it probably sounded good to naive students, who, in this case, happened to be seniors who would be able to vote in the coming elections, and what Barack Obama was doing was again buying votes with the money of other people--the citizens of the country. Yes, Barack Obama would spend more money to buy votes, though, in essence, the country is broke. I wonder how many of the students who heard Barack Obama's statement wondered where the money was coming from and realized spending the money was really just putting the country farther into debt, which they would have to pay back over the years to come, and it would not surprise me students probably thought--though it would be wrong--Barack Obama was working to help them and others, making Barack Obama a good guy in their eyes. * = Note: "Fran" may be incorrect, but that is what the word sounded like to me.]Monday, June 14, 2010 (in Alabama during the fourth visit to the Gulf of Mexico in relation to the oil-rig disaster that had started on April 20, 2010):
"...Now, everybody here has had experiences dealing with disasters. As we were flying over from Mississippi, ah, via helicopter, you can see the footprints of buildings that had been decimated from Katrina, but, in some ways, what we're dealing with here is unique because it's not actually one catastrophic event. It's an ongoing assault whose movements are constantly changing. That's what makes this crisis so challenging, and it means that it has to be constantly watched, it has to be tracked, ah, where, constantly having to redeploy resources, ah, to make sure that they're having maximum impact...." [It must be remembered the Barack Obama administration had been involved--almost from the first day of the oil-rig disaster--in blocking equipment for fighting oil leaks from coming to the U.S. from other countries, such as France, Canada, and the Netherlands, which had made an offer to provide help about three days after the oil-rig explosion had taken place. If more equipment could have been set up in near the leak area sooner, the oil slicks would probably not have spread out as far as they had up to this date. Now, Barack Obama is busy--fighting the good fight--as he noted by touching on such themes as "constantly watched" and "redeploy resources" regularly.]
"...After seeing an initial oil-collection plan from BP, we went back to them and said, 'They need to move faster and more aggressively.' And they have now come back with a plan to accelerate steps to contain over 50,000 barrels a day by the end of June, two weeks earlier than they had originally suggested...." [It takes time to do things, and I say in jest--"Yes, I am sure BP purposely has been delaying action as much as possible, though they are losing money and more every moment--in lost time, lost oil, lost image, lost money." And I also say in jest, "But Barack Obama got in there and gave the order to hurry up!"]
"...Now I can't promise folks here in Theodore or across the Gulf Coast that the oil will be cleaned up over night--it will not be....." [I say in jest, "No kidding!"]
"...It's gonna take time for things to return to normal. There's gonna be, ah, harmful effects on, ah, any local businesses, and it's gonna to be painful, ah, for a lot of folks. Folks are gonna be frustrated. Some folks are going to be angry. But I promise you this that things are gonna return to normal. This region that's known a lot of hardship will bounce back just like it's bounced back before...." [Yes, the "ruler" gave his reassurances, and I say in jest, "And all will be better because of Barack Obama." Oh, I used the term "ruler," because I do believe Barack Obama does not see himself as a "representative" of anyone and does see himself as a "ruler." Keep in mind: A "ruler" is higher in stature than a "representative" is, as in "a representative of the people," since a "representative" is like a pawn to others or is subservient to others or is at least somewhat beholden to the wishes of others, and a "ruler" is a ruler and is beholden to no one else. Rulers are more powerful than representatives are.]
"....But keep in mind we've got to do this across four states, and what that means is that, at any given time...the priority might be, we just want to get some stuff out twenty miles before it starts coming in closer, which means you're not going to see necessarily a lot of skimmers close in because every resource that we have is being deployed further out...." [Ask yourself--"Has Barack Obama allowed every resource available to be used? Look at the first quoted material for this section Also, see my document entitled Madness in a President and Other Matters of a Defective Mind, which can be reached by using the link at the end of this document.]
Note: June 14, 2010--this is another "Flag Day." I wonder if Barack Obama talked about "Flag Day" at some point on this day. I do not have any text from him to present to you.Monday, June 14, 2010 (in Mississippi):
"...Ah, we also talked about claims to make sure that people here in Mississippi, ah, but throughout the region are, ah, gonna be adequately compensated for the damages and the loses that they're experiencing right now. I'm going to be meeting with the chairman of, ah, and other officials from BP on Wednesday, and so we're gathering up facts--stories--right now, ah, so that we have an absolute...." [From this statement, you should ask yourself--The oil-rig disaster is yet ongoing, so why is the President of the United States of America wasting time gathering up and working on compensation stuff, right now? That is not the job of the President of the United States of America! Also, it is not the duty of anyone in the White House associated with the President. I say in jest, "Yes, the Barack Obama is so worried about those who are being put out and is so eager to make sure they get compensated."]Tuesday, June 15, 2010 (a speech from the Oval Office of the White House):
"...Because there's never been a leak this size at this depth, stopping it has tested the limits of human technology. That's why just after the rig sank, I assembled a team of our best scientists and engineers to tackle this challenge--a team lead by Dr. Steven Chu, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist and our nation's Secretary of Energy. Scientists...national labs and experts from academia and other oil companies have also provided ideas and advice. As a result of these efforts, we've directed BP to mobile additional equipment and technology. And in the coming weeks and days, these efforts should capture up to ninety percent of the oil leaking out of the well. This is until the company finishes drilling relief well later in the summer that's expect to stop the leak completely. Already, this oil spill is the worst environmental disaster America has ever faced. And unlike an earthquake or a hurricane, it's not a single event that does its damage in a matter of minutes or days. The millions of gallons of oil that have spilled in to the Gulf of Mexico are more like an epidemic, one that we will be fighting for months and even years. But make no mistake--we will fight this spill with everything we've got for as long as it takes. We will make BP pay for the damage the company has caused...." [For about seventeen minutes, Barack Obama spoke, and it was a presentation loaded with lies and deceptive thoughts, and this section presents thirteen main parts (as I define them), and here you have my first presentation Stopping the leak may have "tested the limits of human technology," but containing the leak has not involved using all resources. In my document entitled Madness in a President and Other Matters of a Defective Mind, which can be reached by using the link at the end of this document, you will see evidence that shows the Barack Obama administration--particularly Barack Obama--has blocked foreign entities from helping contain the oil leak, and that is a fact, and that shows not every resource and tool has been and is being used to contain the leak. Steven Chu has no expertise in filling holes in an oil pipeline--he is a physicist. And people in academia are people who, generally speaking, have never done anything in real life--they always have had their heads in books and have been busy formulating possible ideas, which they do not put into practice usually through their own hands. (Incidentally, in the 1950s, my father worked for a gas company, such as a surveyor in Wisconsin, helping to bring natural gas to Wisconsin and Michigan, and he had several cartoon published in a trade Gas-related magazine involving "pipeliners," and he later did draftsmen work related to, for one, water piping for General Motors factories, and if he were still alive, he would probably have a better idea about how to plug a pipeline leak than Dr. Steven Chu would.) Oh, when did Barack Obama give the order to BP to get more equipment and technology?]
"...From the very beginning of this crisis, the federal government has been in charge of the largest environmental clean-up effort in our nation's history--an effort led by Admiral Thad Allen, who has almost forty years of experience responding to disasters. We now have nearly thirty-thousand personnel who are working across four states to contain and clean up the oil. Thousands of ships and other vessels are responding in the Gulf, and I've authorized the deployment of over seventeen-thousand National Guard members along the Coast. These service men and women are ready to help stop the oil from coming ashore. They're ready to help clean the beaches, train response workers, or even help with processing claims. And I urge the governors in the affected states to activate these troops as soon as possible...." [So, the oil-rig disaster began on April 20, 2010, and only now, Barack Obama is urging governors to activate National Guard members. Oh, yes, the National Guard members are going to be involved in "processing claims," which, it seems to me, Barack Obama thinks is a most-important thing for them to be doing right now, but I say that it would be better for the National Guard members to be involved in containing the oil, then there would be fewer claims to process. (Note: By the way, earlier in the day, when Barack Obama was in Pensacola, Florida, Barack Obama said: "...All told, we've authorized the deployment of seventeen-thousand-five-hundred National Guardsmen to respond to this crisis. So far, only about sixteen-hundred have been activated...." Why are only sixteen-hundred on duty? The crisis is in about the sixth week, and would it not be prudent to have at least seventeen-thousand-five-hundred National Guardsmen on duty, right now? And if you have sixteen-hundred persons working, they do not work all the day,
