Obama Job Creation

President Obama during his weekly radio address for October 3 told us his health care plan will create thousands of jobs. He's correct. According to estimates from thee Heritage Foundation 770,000 government bureaucratic positions will be required to oversee his goal of the takeover of one-sixth of our economy. Point being these are taxpayer paid positions. But you already knew that.

Good For Them, Not For Us

It’s good enough for YOU
The Affordable Health Choices Act, recently voted out of the Senate Health Education Labor and Pensions Committee along party lines will force millions of “Americans into stingy insurance plans with tight, HMO-style controls,” the Wall Street Journal reports. However, it may come as no surprise that on page 114, line 22, the Act specifically exempts members of Congress from their own “reform”. That’s right; ObamaCare for Thee, but NOT for me.
Currently members of Congress enjoy among the widest selection of health plans in the country …

Lawyers

I was caught by surprise when I found out there were only 132 lawyers in the House of Representatives and 60 in our current Senate; thought there would be more. I don't know why it's such a big deal to be a lawyer. Have you ever looked through a phone directory? There are more of them than there are Chins in a Peking directory. The monster question for me is, what does being a lawyer have to do with being able to pass laws for the benefit of the people? The impact these yo-yo's have on our everyday lives is bigger than most of us can comprehend yet we let them decide cradle to grave life styles. I guess it's no different than that of teacher's. Just because someone has a license to teach doesn't necessarily mean the have the knowledge e.g. one of my fellow western civ com padres insisted bourgeoisie was pronounced, burr-gus-eez. I had another who taught Theodore and Franklin were brothers and a third instruced his students that the War Between the States occurred from 1851-55. They were respected because of the degree not the ability to perform. At least until people saw them in action.
Thomas Jefferson might have had it correct when he stated that only farmers should have the right to vote due to their everyday life experience.

I Was Wrong----Big Time

Something went wrong, or right, in Copenhagen. The US lost out on the 2016 Olympic bid and I'm as shocked as Oprah. Heads are going to roll in ChiTown. Mayor Daley is going to get out his head knocker and some secrets are about to be divulged.
I'm just giddy for the citizens of Chicago.
Now, there are some big positives to this situation. Tokyo is out too. It might be because the governor of that city said 2016 might be the last Olympics due to global warming. Better still, I'm pushing for Rio. That's the land of the girl from Ipanema. Try and name a babe from Chicago. I can't think of any. Frank Sinatra sang, "My Kind Of Town" but that's no big deal cuz he's long dead.

Appeasement

If, after Obama's meeting with the Iranians, he gets off a plane carrying an umbrella and announcing "peace in our time" I'm heading for the fallout shelter. What the hell! I'm already stockpiling supplies.

Kevin Jennings Sex Czar--Oops, Safe School Czar

From The Washington Examiner 10/01/2009
Kevin Jennings, President Obama's Assistant Deputy Secretary of the Office of Safe and Drug FreeSchools at the U.S. Department of Education, is in hot water this week for having failed to report that a 15-year-old sophomore student in his school had told him of having sex with an older man.
But failure to report what appeared to be a case of statuatory rape of a child may be the least of Jennings' worries. Lori Roman of Regular Folks United points to statements by Jennings a decade or more ago when he praised Harry Hay of the North American Association for Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), which promotes the legalization of sexual abuse of young boys by older men.
Roman provides damning details and links here. She also notes that Jennings wrote the forward "to a book called Queering Elementary Education. And another fellow you may have heard of wrote one of the endorsements on the book jacket—Bill Ayers." Ayers, of course, is the Weather Underground bomber from the 1960s who is just an "acquaintance" of Obama.
Every presidential administration ends up with scandals inspired by controversial appointees, but typically those tend to revolve around financial improprieties, conflicts of interest, or some other form of white-collar misconduct. For Obama, the scandals seem to be develping in a pattern of disclosures revolving around radical left ideology that raises questions about their fitness for any job in government.
And that in turn raises the inevitable question: Is nobody minding the White House personnel store?

Screwy

Doesn't it seem a bit, no, a lot screwy and ridiculous that the main focus of the twenty-four hour news cycle deals with the Olympics. Chicago, the home of Al Capone, the Daley regime, precinct captains wallowing in tainted dollar bills, Rod Blagojovich Barack Hussein Obama and one of the highest murder rates in the nation is being presented as the end of the yellow brick road in securing the Olympic Games. Reports already say that there is a mad rush by Democratic insiders to buy up land to be used for new sports venues. Can you say "graft and corruption"? More than half of the people of Chicago do not want the 2016 Olympics. The 49 precincts captains voted and surprise the vote was a unanimous 49. Last month the City had to shut down operations for a day because they couldn't pay the bills. So, here's what happens. The fix is in, I'd bet, and the people from the City of Big Shoulders will burden it's people with higher taxes to support the luxurious lifestyles of the rich and infamous.
