The Senate win in Massachusetts sends a direct message to Obama and Washington overall. They are not happy with the direction of the country and Obama’s far left ideological policies. A message that F&C believes Obama will not get.

 

The underhanded The deals, like $100 million to Nebraska to buy their Senator’s vote for healthcare, the $300 million to Louisiana to buy their Senator’s vote for healthcare, the sweetheart deal to the union where they will not have to pay taxes on healthcare but everyone else will, the Christmas eve ramming the vote through on healthcare behind people’s backs, cap & trade, card check, transparency, 10% unemployment, an almost successful terror attack, 911 mastermind getting lawyers and rights, a ballooning deficit, etc.. the Amercian people are fed up.

 

But Obama being that ideological person will not get the message and already promises to push forward with his agenda on healthcare plus other policies that will directly hurt the economy and continue the high unemployment which has forced many people to struggle. Certainly not the change people had hoped for, but this is what you get when you vote for an arrogant person who campaigns on change but doesn’t tell you what that is.

 

He promised that special interest will not be allowed in Washington, but today there are three times as many special interest groups in Washington than there was when Bush was in office.

 

He promised transparency so the American public could see what their government was doing for them, but has hidden all important subjects like healthcare from America and managed to embarrass the military as he felt that was important.

 

He promised a tax cut to 95% of the middle class. That did not happen and he actually raised taxes by increasing the deficit and will raise them even more if and when healthcare is passed almost immediately.

 

Obama was never the “messiah” nor was he the hope and change everyone though. What he is though is a far left ideological nut that believes in what he is doing because he wants to change America from a capitalist society to a socialist society.

 

Americans have now gotten to know who Obama is and they aren’t liking what they are finding out.

 

 

 

 

I received this in an e-mail and it was too good not to quote it:

 

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had once failed an entire class.

That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan".

 

All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A. After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.

 

 As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little. The second test average was a D! No one was happy.

 

When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F. The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

 

All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.  Could not be any simpler than that.

 

 

 

Notes

 

  • Citigroup lost $7.6 Billion in the 4th quarter as it repays their bailout. Consumers are still struggling to repay loans was the key factor plus their repayment of the bailout loan they received.

 

  • USAToday reported that men benefit more in a marriage than women. Today, men are better off because their wives are too. A study showed that women’s overall advancement in education and earnings translate into improvement for men. Today, more women than men have college degrees. Still not sure how that is more beneficial to men? That more women are working and have more degrees sounds more beneficial to women and gives them more choices while reducing men’s.

 

  • A study shows more black conservatives take lead roles in tea party movements. Though the tea party movement has attacked criticism for its supposed lack of diversity, minority activists who are involved say the movement has little to do with race and that it is attracting a more diverse crowd everyday.

 

  • Goldman Sachs helped Michael Moore make his anti-capitalist film. Gee Michael, doesn’t that contradict what your movie was all about?  See folks even Michael Moore is full of it and does these movies to make money at the stupidity of Americans who go and watch them.

 

  • Obama’s economic council claimed they created nearly 2 million jobs from the stimulus. Well that might be a hard pill to swallow when the unemployment number kept rising and still holds at 10%. Maybe these jobs were created in China. Obama promised transparency in job counting, the same transparency used in healthcare.

 

  • Obama recently received unexceptional marks in wake of his one year anniversary as king, oops I mean President from the American people. 87% believe Obama’s policies are greatly to moderately affecting the economy. Remember, the government cannot give anything to anyone that they have not first taken away from someone else.
