While Iran burns, Obama asks: "Where is my fiddle?"

During the Presidential election, Joe Biden, babbled that President to be, Barack Apology Obama would be tested in his first six months. He implied that Obama, because he was so young, would be tested in the foreign policy area.

So Mr. Obama was elected and he went on his Foreign Apology Tours, apologizing to the world about all the past sins of the United States while forgetting the fact that because of America the world is not entirely run by lunatics. He was played the fool by Ortega and Chavez when he went to Latin America. 
 
Then he went to Egypt, and told the Muslim world that America has sinned but that we love the Muslim world. Then the Iranians hold a bogus election (why wasn't Jimmy Carter counting the ballots?) and Rama-lama-ding-dong is re-elected as the tyrant-in-chief. The 900 year old Ayatollah supports the rigged results and the riots escalated. Thousands of Ayatollian lackies gathered and shouted "Death to America" after the bearded one declared the elections official. I guess they didn't hear Obama's soothing speech to the Muslim world.

And what does the Apologist-in-Chief do? He tells the world that the United States will not "meddle" in Iran's elections. This event was a modest test for Obama. All he had to do was STAND UP and call for free and honest elections and the right for people to protest for a better way of life. We are not asking Obama to send any troops into Iran. All we ask is that he stand up for the principles  of freedom and free, democratic elections. Instead, he wimped out.

Ronald Reagan helped bring down the Soviet Union by telling Gorbachev to "tear down this wall". Lech Walesa gave Ronald Reagan credit for Poland's fight for liberty. Why? Because Reagan publicly supported Walesa and Poland's quest for the simple principles of democracy, human rights, and a civil society, something the ruling loons in the Ayatocracy in Iran have no interest in pursuing.

The difference between a rookie like Obama, who is showing his youth, naivete, and inexperience and Ronald Reagan is simple. Obama views the world through the eyes of a tactical politician-- afraid to p-ss anyone off,  while worrying about the polls and the next election. Then there are leaders who view the world through a moral compass, where the political process is used to defend and further our values. For Reagan it was a moral pursuit to bring down Communism and spread the values of liberty and justice to as many people and countries as possible. 
 
Obama just wants to hang out in the White House, be cool, make a daily speech about another new spending program we cannot afford, while saying nothing about oppression being endured by others. Oppressed people who yearn for freedom used to look to the United States for moral support. It looks like they are out of luck with this President. 

His failure to use the Presidential bully pulpit to give the Iranian people as much support as possible is morally repugnant. There are only a few times during a four-year term when the President must rise above politics and let the world know that there are values worth living, striving, fighting, and, yes, even dieing for.

Mr. Biden, #2, your # 1 gets an "F" on this relatively simple foreign policy test. There was no bloodshed required to stand up to the lunatic rulers in Iran and send a message to the world about the values of freedom and democracy.

When you send a weak message to all the madmen on this earth that we do not want to get involved in peoples' quest for freedom against oppression, you are asking for trouble and then the REAL TEST will begin.

Let's see, unemployment is rapidly approaching 9%, gasoline is nearing $3.00 a gallon,10% of the population is behind on their mortgages, and Michelle Obama, the new Entertainment Czar and her husband, Barack Obama, the Bankrupter-in-Chief, jet off to NYC to catch a Broadway Show and have a little dinner. Did they sneak off and have crumpets with the useless Prince Harry while they were there?

A stooge from the administration read a prepared statement from these two Hollywood wannabees: "I am taking my wife to New York City because I promised her during the campaign that I would take her to a Broadway show after the election was all finished."

It's a good thing he didn't promise to buy her a new Pontiac!

What hubris, Mr. Empathy. What a great example to set for the rest of the country. While most of us tighten our belts and STAY HOME more often, you and your lovely wife decide to blow a few hundred thousand dollars of taxpayer money on a night on the town. What, the White House movie theatre and bowling alley followed by a kobe steak isn't good enough for you? Is Camp David under construction?

At least he didn't take Air Force One for this joyride. They took an Air Force Gulfstream 12 passenger jet, which Pelosi probably wasn't using. Then again, maybe Obama should have used Air Force One -- then he could have buzzed the Statue of Liberty again and gotten some fresh pictures for his scrapbook.

I'm sorry, but President Obama just doesn't get it. He is certainly entitled to some rest and relaxation from the most demanding job in the world. But he is tone deaf and acts like a Hollywood celebrity. He loves the spotlight and the fawning media. If President Bush had pulled this stunt, he would have been villified by most of the media (and rightly so).

Larry Kudlow, the moderator of CNBC's THE KUDLOW REPORT, has been trying to remain optismistic about the economy in spite of the idiots in Washington overseeing "Bailout Nation". He talks daily of mustard seeds being planted in the economy, such as:

Energy "Tax Cut", oil dropping from $4.00 a gallon to $2.00 a gallon

House Prices Declining, making houses more affordable

Money Supply Increasing, creating "easy money"

Meanwhile, the Beltway Blowhards, lead by Bankrupt Blankcheck Obama and Perilous Pandemic Pelosi are trying to bankrupt the country with tons and tons of pork, entitlements, higher taxes, and spending we cannot afford EVER. It is incomprehensible to even talk about these spending boondoogles when the taxpayer is strained and the country's credit rating is approaching junk bond status.

The mega-banks, led by penny stock Citigroup, are near bankruptcy and the stock markets are looking for some clarity from Tim IRS Geithner. So what does this pea-brained guru talk about today before the House Budget Committee? He defends the hundreds of billions of tax dollars for the Cap and Trade system: "It is critically important for our country (to) begin the process now of changing the incentives Americans face on how they use energy. It's important for reducing our dependence on foreign oil, it's critical for climate change."

Of course, there was no discussion by him to drill for more oil while we investigate all the other energy alternatives. God forbid, we do both at the same time. The only thing liberals can do simultaneously is TAX AND SPEND. Perhaps Tim, the wonder boy, should move to Venezuela and take a post with Hugo Chavez, who just nationalized the food industry.  

Mr. Geithner, please stop acting like a 

 

and bring some clarity to this financial crisis we are in. All these other stupid Administration spending ideas pale in comparison to fixing this financial mess.

Meanwhile, Bankrupt Obama had another one of his "show and tell" summits today about health care. This man is lost in his delusional self importance. He is trying to pass 100 programs in his first 100 days in a grandiose ploy to convince America he is trying to fix all our problems. All he is doing is confusing everyone. The markets don't like it, taxpayers don't like it, and NO ONE understands what he is doing. He IS a good talker though.

Larry Kudlow may have planted some mustard seeds in the Rose Garden for the Beltway Blowhards. The problem is that Bankrupt Obama, Pandemic Pelosi and IRS Geithner are pissing on the seeds with liberal urine and not watering them with common cents.

Obama made his speech last night before a joint session of Congress.

Only in America does it take TWO people to introduce the President:

"Madam Speaker" (first person) .....long pause....."The President of the United States" (second person)

If you are looking to save some money, one person would probably do.  Forget tradition, these are tough times! If the Detroit auto CEO's have to drive to DC to beg for bailout money, surely we can eliminate one of these two gentlemen (they look old enough to collect a fat pension and Social Security).

After the speech/lecture by Mr. Obama, the media fell all over itself in its praise. They seemed awed by Obama's style while ignoring the lack of substance or price tag associated with his socialistic, big government agenda.

It was awe-inspiring to see the two clowns, Joe Bluster Biden and Pandemic Pelosi sitting behind him during the speech. Imagine they are the next two in line to be President.

                                                                                                  

Some of my thoughts on excerpts from the speech:

Obama on the American people: ...the "hardest working people on earth".

Comment: I guess he hasn't visited China lately.
-----
Obama on Energy: He spoke of spending $15 billion per year on  renewable clean energy, research, power lines, making buildings more energy efficient, putting a CAP and TRADE on pollution, wind power, solar power, clean coal, solar power, bio-fuels, more efficient cars.

Comment: Not ONE WORD on drilling for our own oil. Any energy policy that does not include draining every drop of our oil is just plain typical liberal stupidity. PS--there is no such thing as clean coal--this is just a liberal buzz word.
-----
Obama on Health Care: "This is America. We don't do what is easy. We do what's necessary."

Comment: He left out two key words: AND EXPENSIVE!
-----
Obama on Education: "By 2020, America will once again have the highest percentage of college graduates in the world".

Comment: To do what? Green jobs? Work for the federal or state bureaucracies? There was no mention of the need for better vocational education or the need for colleges to actually teach people something relevant. No longer will parents waste $80 - $100 grand on a meaningless college education that prepares their kids for jobs that no longer exist. There are only so many cable TV talking head jobs available.
-----
Obama on the National Debt: "With the deficit we inherited....we passed a recovery plan free of earmarks.'

Comment: There he goes again about inheriting problems. No earmarks? How about Clueless Harry's $6 billion train or Pandemic Pelosi's $30 million mice survival program? The pending$420 billion Porkulus II bill has 9,000 earmarks in it!
-----

Obama on Medicare: "We wil have comprehensive Medicare reform"

Comment: What he meant was Medicare will double over the next 5 years and bankrupt the country.
-----

Obama on Iraq and Afghanistan: "With our friends and allies we will forge a new comprehensive strategy."

Comment: 95% of the comprehensive strategy will be funded by us and we will supply 100% of the fighting troops to bail out our so-called friends.
-----

Obama on America's future: "In our hands lies the ability to shape our world."

Comment: He forgot to add..."as long as we keep printing money to pay for all this."
-----

Obama on Taxes: " A family making less the $250,000 per year will not pay a dime more in taxes. Not one dime."

Comment: This quote will come back to haunt him. Remember Bush 41: "Read my lips. No new taxes." To pay for all of this crap he wants to do will require tax increases on everybody breathing. No, Mr. Obama,  It won't be one dime. It will be thousands of dimes per person.

FINAL COMMENT: Obama is a wonderful "orator". Unfortunately, he believes in big government, taxing the wealth creators and creating and expanding every liberal spending program imaginable.
 
Meanwhile this country is sitting on HUGE amounts of oil and he stubbornly refuses to drill for it. Only a liberal moron would ignore exploiting the vast riches in his own country in the belief that spending hundreds of billions of dollars on unproven energy alternatives is the only answer. Wake up -- this country can do both at the same time: drill for oil AND search for alternative solutions.  

Drilling for more oil will CREATE (not save and create) thousands of good paying jobs for people who do NOT need a college education. These are jobs where the people truly DO work hard and the pay is great. Wake up Mr. Obama. In addition, we will KEEP hundreds of billions of dollars in the U.S. where it belongs. The money is in the ground. Let's have another oil rush!.

Mr. Obama, stop listening to these CAP and Trade liberal sirens. We need the oil JOBS and MONEY to stay in the United States of America.
