Obama

Obama gets a Nobel Peace Prize for bombing the moon. Oh wait, he bombed the moon AND got a Nobel Peace Prize. Isn't bombing the moon an act of war?! Why didn't he use sanctions and tried to negotiate to get the "ice" that underneath the Moon's surface? Did we invade the Moon unilaterally or did we go with a Coalition of the Willing? Did we go to the UN to get a resolution condemning the Moon for having illegal weapons? Or for having poisonous cheese?

Only four United States Presidents have ever gotten a Nobel Peace Prize. President Theodore Roosevelt received it for negotiating a peace treaty between Russia and Japan in 1906. President Wilson got one for the Treaty of Versailles (which led to German anger and Hitler) and the League of Nations (a less competent version of the United Nations). President Carter got one in 2002 for decades of failed appeasements. What has Obama done to receive his Nobel Peace Prize? The only thing he has done is apologize for everything America has done wrong and stated that the United States needs to improve itself. Obama needs to change his slogan from "Hope and Change" to "Apologize and Beg."

Is it too early to give Obama an award like this? He has been President for less than a year, no treaties have been signed, his poll numbers are slipping, plus Afghanistan and Iraq are continuing under his watch. Do the people that award these prizes look at the credentials of some of their awardees? Arafat got a peace prize in 1994. He continued to wage terrorism and warfare on the state of Israel until his last day on this planet.

Obama should say "Thanks but no thanks" to his award and get back to the real issue: figuring out how to apologize to the rest of the world for bombing the Moon.

My Response to Blanchard's op-ed

In reading Dr. Blanchard's most recent op-ed in the American News, I am a little bit surprised that people actually believed Obama's rhetoric of "hope and change." Maybe since I voted for the other guy in the last election because I did not like Obama, does not allow me to be stuck in the mindset of an Obama voter who wanted to rid the United States of anything that resembled George W Bush's work.
Nevertheless, anybody expecting to see radical changes within the first year of the Obama Administration would most definitely be disappointed by how this presidency has shaped up. Most of Obama's appointments have been either part of the Clinton White House (especially Hillary) and/or tax cheats. The Secretary of the Treasury owed tens of thousands of dollars to the IRS even though he was part of the Federal Reserve and now responsible for the $350 billion part of the Bail-Out approved last fall.

Dr. Blanchard stated that the Obama presidency is looking like a third Bush term. Isn't that what Obama tried to pin to McCain during the election? Besides, I don't see Obama as a mythical third Bush term. I see Obama as a second term that Jimmy Carter never got. America is going back on the defensive, trying to refocus our efforts on reclaiming our moral authority. By releasing the "torture" memos and other actions, Obama is trying to distance himself from the past and trying to reboot our relations with the rest of the world.

However, those on the far left want Bush hung upside down for his "crimes" that occurred during his presidency. Those are the people Dr. Blanchard refers to that expected a different Obama presidency. They will get what they want in time, just not as fast as they wanted.

The problem with any changes Obama makes is that the massive executive bureaucracy in place follows Newton's first law of motion: An object in motion tends to stay in motion unless an external force changes the motion. The bureaucracy is huge and slow-moving. Any changes Obama makes have to be massive and fast paced to have any effect on the bureaucracy.

As we get deeper into his presidency, Obama will make decisions that in time will reverse the Bush policies in matters of foreign policy and we will see the distinction between the two. For now, the decisions of the previous president are in effect until Obama has time to reverse it.

Saudis and Venezuelans and Obama, oh my!!

The Obama Apology Tour has taken a dramatic turn. He bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia. The leader of the Free World should never bow to a oil monarch. We refused to dip our flag for an Earthly king, but if it will do anything to "restore' our prestige, Obama will do anything to sell out American principles.










Then President Obama met up with the next Castro - Hugo Chavez. The Venezuelan dictator has already nationalized everything possible in his country and has called President Bush "el diablo" (The Devil) on the floor of the United Nations General Assembly. Obama shook hands with that snake and Chavez even gave Obama a book that "exposes" the imperial raping of the Americas by European settlers.


President Obama has been apologizing to the world for what happened for the past eight years under Bush. The European hated Bush and everything he stood for. They saw him as a reckless cowboy. Now that the European got an American President who thinks like they do, now they should be happy with the direction America is going. Europeans will now complain about how America is wrecking the economy via the stimulus and endless spending, how not everybody is on board with the Euro currency, and how much France really stinks.

North Korea

Yesterday, North Korea test launched a rocket that went over Japan. Every nation concerned told the backward country not to do it. However, Kim Jong Il and his lemmings decided to test the new adminstration's will to deal with the communist state.

North Korea stated that the rocket was used as a communications satellite to further their space program. Millions are starving in North Korea, while the leadership gets fat and lazy while shooting a rocket to further their space program. I hope they can reach another world where they can find some food.

Seriously, this test firing should be met with some type of force short of war. We are doing all we can to discourage North Korea from doing this activity. However, sometimes the best way to change a country is to get rid of its leadership.

G20 and Gov't. Spending

As Obama and the rest of the G20 meet to deal with the global crisis, the economy is continuing to sink deeper into the hole. What the economy needs is for the government to cut spending and start to regulate the financial industry so that this does not happen again. The politicans don't need to mess with the tax code until they can get a hold of their spending binges.
