I have been running into more and more Americans here overseas who are grateful to be out of the country in this time of uncertainty. Why, they all cite the economy and the direction of the country. For all the white washing, name calling, and blame shifting the media is screaming at the public to such a deafening volume, the reality is just not in synch. I am not saying this as a sore loser conservative or doom and gloom nay-sayer but as an American who is watching the ship sink as it catches fire and burns on the way down. This is the reality of what is going on. Despite the love affair from all corners of the liberal community towards this new ‘golden age’ of American politics we are witnessing the total collapse of our free market economy and the beginnings to nationalization of all things to all people in the country.
The more the US government acts the more the markets go down. Pelosi ramrods a bill, the market tanks. Pelosi and Reid hold closed door stimulus deals, the market tanks. Obama signs a bill into law, the market tanks. Obama and his tax dodging economy geniuses make comments and testimony, the market tanks. Obama tries to calm down the markets, yep it tanks. Day in and day out I have seen my modest retirement savings plummet to near initial investment levels, despite pumping in more money to take advantage of low mutual fund and stock prices. Since Obama has been sworn in we have seen little if any impact on the markets from any newly identified source. We have had full knowledge of what has been going on since January; AIG, Citi Group, Bank of America, GM and Chrysler, all of it has had no shocking new or damaging revelations announced since January. Global markets and currencies are not falling dramatically and for the most part are declining in a steady yet stable glide down. Despite all this the markets have shed 23% of its value in this time, why?
I have stated on this blog I would give Obama a chance and some opportunities to show himself and his true colors before I began criticizing his leadership and administration. That time is now officially over. In less then 100 days Obama has taken a bad situation and made it drastically worse. The levels of incompetence, ignorance, and sheer lunacy going on in Washington DC is making me seriously consider the unthinkable, that my beloved country will only emerge from this crisis as a pale shadow of its former self. Obama, Pelosi, and Reid’s vision of America through their actions has done more damage and destroyed more progress in our country then Al Qaida has with all its attacks on our country, combined. I am not exaggerating, look at the results since November and where we are today and look at the same amount of time from the USS Cole, African embassy bombings, and both WTC attacks.
I am not going to back down or sugar coat this criticism under the hopes and desires to have the Obama dream presidency turn a corner and we are all delivered to the liberal promised land. Obama’s lack of real job experience is showing and this is being reflected by the confidence in our economy to recover and our country to return to a leadership position on the world stage. We Americans vote in many ways on many things everyday. The stark reality to the liberal dream is that nobody is buying it. The more Obama does and the more information that is released on the direction he is leading the country into is being voted against every day in the Stock Exchanges, Corporate employment departments, local governments, and households across the nation. Lack of confidence is causing the money to be saved and squatted on by all those who really matter in our economy, the ones who run our businesses. If Obama is trying to break the back of the free market system and establish a nanny state or a society solely dependant on the government for survival then congratulations, its working.
The armature dealings go far beyond our economic mess, to secret letters to Russia leaked to the NY Times (a liberal mouthpiece so we know it came from the White House itself), to protectionism legislation despite calls from around the world it will result in trade wars and even England’s Prime Minister coming to DC and saying directly not to do it, to their lack of response to North Korea on its attention getting remarks on saying it wants a war with us, to Iran who must be laughing at us for the Russian back door policy disaster with the very country who is building Iran’s enrichment facilities, to his lack of showing China the respect and gratitude he needs to for the help we will need from them over the next 2 years, to his top officials engaging in a media war with conservative talk show hosts for no other reason then to posture for the next election to help make more gains in mid term elections, to Obama’s sour grapes response to Republican opposition to his policy and legislation when he does not even need their votes or support to pass these things because his party controls everything anyway, the Republicans are irrelevant and impotent in the government so just let them speak out and scream because it will not matter at the end of the day because they don’t have the votes to stop anything.
Barack Obama has not had a real job in his life, much less a real leadership job in any facet of the definition of the word and we wonder why the world is crumbling down around us despite all the wonderful words and platitudes Obama spews from his golden tongued font. Talk is cheap, actions speak louder then words, if you talk the talk you better be able to walk the walk, proof is in the pudding, a bird in the hand is better then 2 in the bush. No matter how you want to put it the leadership of the nation is NOT happening. The direction the country is being steered in is NOT working. Confidence in our country is NOT there. Throwing money into the abyss in hopes it will fill is NOT working. Saying a single company is too big to fail is NOT the right answer. The Democratic vision of how to fix this mess is NOT resulting in anything coming close to the neighborhood of success. Yes it has been only 4 months since Obama won the election and 2 months since him taking office but how far are we willing to let things drop before we demand a different direction? Guess what, by the time Obama hits 100 days we are dangerously close to seeing some of the largest companies in US history fail which will cascade far beyond what anyone can imagine. Here is something else for you, George W. Bush is not to blame. His administration fell asleep at the switch over lending regulations, this stimulus plan authored proudly by Pelosi and Reid and signed into law by Obama will be judged by its real impact.
Obama’s eloquent public speaking skills have not steemed the tide of unemployment as over 1,000,000 jobs have been lost since Obama took office in January. That is the reality. Nationalizing healthcare talk and banks have not loosened up lending or instilled confidence in companies to stop laying off people. Delaying tax cuts and promising to bailout irresponsible homeowners who bought more home then they could afford has not spurred investment in small business expansion, creation, or investment into the very companies who are cutting back expansion and laying off workers left and right. Obama’s public charm and intoxication of inspiration has not worked on those very groups who employ or create jobs in our country. Obama’s building bridges and rebuilding our international reputation has not paid any dividends or promises of partnerships but has drawn warnings and promises of retaliation for his Buy American pledge from our staunches allies to at arm length partners. Canada, England, and Asian countries have all lectured Obama on this policy and yet, he is still going down this road. No, word are truly cheap, the cost of taking the wrong actions appear to be the wealth and economic power of our country. If Obama does not stop this insanity and Pelosi and Reid stopped with losing the majority of seats in Congress then is seems we will see the real cost of all these wrong actions. Talk is cheap, the actions taken are showing no way of fixing the mess we are in. There is something worse then inaction, the wrong action and that is what the far left liberals have pushed for and achieved at this particular moment. Our governments actions are causing much more harm then good and as the liberals sing songs of praise the ship is continuing to sink, but now the fires are beginning to burn and it may be too late to save the mess now.

Mr. President, um, your shoes are untied… 5 day pledge evaporates
What other excuse can he, or his administration give for the first Major breakage of a campaign promise? Politicians sure do have an issue with the truth, promises, and doing what they pledge. Case in point; candidate Barack Obama’s pledge to have a five day public review of all non-vital legislation passed by Congress before he would sign it. President Barack Obama’s reality is completely the opposite in passing all legislation as soon as it passes Congress until the mid-term elections. The Democrats are scared that will be their reckoning day, and by the looks of it, it can’t come fast enough.
The below 3 images are screen captures that will illustrate the real issue for the liberals who will say I am making this issue up or that I am full of you know what, well here are the actual screen captures showing the reality and truth of our good President’s ability to keep his word and follow through on his campaign promises. You can do the same searches and find the same info, no doctored pictures here.
Why, well if you listen to his Chief of Staff on the ‘not letting a good crisis go to waste’ mantra jumped on by Congress and used more then a turnstile at the NYC subway system during rush hour. Next look at the tone of the government from ‘hope and change’ to preaching ‘fear and blame’ the Democrats blamed the GOP of using on the campaign trail, though it is good enough to use to get all their special pet projects and special interest paybacks that fear is the only way to get the American people behind this ever ballooning stimulus package that is now over $910 billion.
The first 3 bills Obama signed and did not post for HIS own 5-day pledge; #1 Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act (NEVER posted, signed in 2 days… 2 days!) signed 1/29/09, #2 State Children’s Health Insurance Program SCHIP (posted on the site for only 3.5 days posted Super Bowl Sunday afternoon, signed Wednesday morning) signed 2/4/09. The response by the White House…
White House spokesman Reid Cherlin: “During the campaign, the President committed to introducing more sunlight into the lawmaking process by posting non-emergency legislation online for five days before signing it. The President remains committed to bringing more transparency to government, and in this spirit the White House has posted legislation expected to come to the President’s desk online for comment.”
“We will be implementing this policy in full soon; currently we are working through implementation procedures and some initial issues with the congressional calendar. In the meantime, we will continue to post legislation on our website for comment as it moves through Congress over the next few weeks.”
So much for change we can believe in, I believe in what I see, results and actions, I leave faith to religion and spirituality only and not the realm of politics. Thus far Obama and Congress which from this point forward I will refer to the NICP or national insane clown posse, no office to the rap group to whom I do appreciate some of their works. Seeing the insanity that is going on over there in DC it is unbelievable they are going to get this pork laden, earmarked from hell, lobbyist and political payback bill pushed through straddling America with massive national debt and increasing our deficit to two or three times that of the last 8 years. Oh, and I can’t accept Barack’s EXCUSE of it was handed to him neatly packed and in a bow on day one, how pathetic is that? Leaders lead, not lie, cheat, talk out of both sides of their mouths and they sure as hell don’t go around laying blame and making excuses for it when the situation starts to turn on them. Every day this package is not passes is more time we get to peak inside and see how much more pork we can find, and thus far there has been enough to last our national food assistance program for years to come.

Five day review exists, Google found it and shows the results
Follow the link and Oops, error 404 - WhiteHouse.Gov states that page does not exist…
Follow the cashed link page and viola, the page DID exist and it WAS really there outlining the real pledge
