Can Another Speech Really Help Obama ?

Three years into the most polarizing, devisive, failed presidency in America history the master of deciet will step up to the microphone, AGAIN - to give another speech -- are we ready for this ? Can we stand the suspense ?

The circus is back in town after cutting the la di da vacation at Marthas' Vineyard short by a WHOLE DAY in order to deal with the worsening crisis, Obama's thirty nine percent approval rating. Three years into the failed presidency Obama's team is screaming "Stop the Presses" "Stop the World" The messiah will speak about jobs and the economy. If he really wanted to help he would have stayed on vacation.

He cannot even give a speech any longer without starting a fight, of course that is not his fault,nothing is. As if we haven't had enough Obama speeches, full of rhetoric, and empty promises.

Now Obama asked Congress to convene an extraordinary joint session next Wednesday to hear his old boring proposals to put jobless Americans back to work, but House Speaker John Boehner balked and told the president he ought to wait and speak a day later.

Of course Obama never misses a chance to start trouble. After waiting almost three years to get this presidents attention, we all must drop everything we are doing and join in on this circus act. The timing of his speech would also would be a poke in the eye at GOP presidential candidates who are to gather for a campaign debate in Simi Valley, Calif., at the same hour as the president's speech.

Obama drops this bombshell without warning, the White House notified Boehner's office on the same day it released the letter requesting the session, knowing it would conflict with Congress' schedule, and create more "conflict" have we about had it with the conflict yet ?

I think we all can pretty much sit this one out, we've heard it all before, the talking points will basically be the same ;
1.All these ideas for jobs are ones that have been presented to Congress before -- Congress needs to act.

2.Unfortunately, at a time when money is tight. George Bush left us a $1 trillion deficit -- Congress needs to act.

3.The Tea-Party Republicans -- have made it very difficult for me to get progressive things done -- Congress needs to act

4.Congress needs to act, Congress needs to act,Congress needs to act,Congress needs to act.
blah, blah, blah, blah

It has never even dawned on this entitled, spoiled, out of touch, simpleton, that the best way to keep his job is to stop campaigning, and do something. The Obama media has been chomping at the bit to take the smallest little success and hype the life out of for him, and he cannot deliver, pitiful.

2012 can't come fast enough.

Rick Perry - Another Texan, but NOT another Bush

To get Obama unelected we need a strong candidate that can connect across party lines and beak through the polarization created by almost three years of Obama's class-warfare. That won't be easy, but Rick Perry may be just the ticket. The rabid media will have a hard time trashing Perry, he's been successful, in fact their attempts to do so may just backfire. The democrats and the rabid liberal media will not have much to work with trying to bash this guy. Unlike Bachmann, who I admire, Perry is more electable.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry, 61, made his decision to enter the race last week. He sat out the debate in Iowa, which may prove to be a stroke of political genius, he has separated himself from the pack already. The new man in the ring, with his Texas swagger, has wasted no time since his entrance, taking on contenders left and right. In less than 24 hours, the 2012 presidential race's newest candidate managed to call President Obama the "greatest threat to our country," raise questions about rival Mitt Romney's record as governor of Massachusetts and suggest that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke might be close to committing a "treasonous" act, those three statements immediately got my attention.

Fiscal Conservative

Perry has distanced himself from his former patron Bush, criticizing his stance on government spending, immigration and education. In 2007, Perry bashed Bush at a Republican House party in Iowa. He says, as captured in YouTube video, "George Bush was never a fiscal conservative, never was. I mean, '95, '96, '97, '99, George Bush was spending money." Of Bush's No Child Left Behind law, Perry harshly criticized it, calling it a "monstrous intrusion" in an interview with National Review.

Texas Job Growth

Perry has touted Texas' job growth under his tenure, which was twice the national average. Indeed, of all the jobs created since June 2009, 30 percent were created in Texas. As governor, Perry has made international recruitment the framework for his economic policy and more than two dozen Chinese companies are now in Texas.

Family Values

Perry is anti-abortion and opposes government funding for elective abortion. In 2011, he signed a bill that prohibited taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood. In 2005, he signed a bill that limited late-term abortions at the third trimester and required girls under the age of 18 to have parental consent before an abortion.

Immigration

In 2001, Perry touted a new law that extended in-state tuition to children of undocumented workers. He said at Border Summit , "We must say to every Texas child learning in a Texas classroom, "We don't care where you come from, but where you are going and we are going to do everything we can to help you get there." To pacify the anti-illegal immigration conservatives, Perry pushed for a bill
that would have prohibited Texas cities from acting as safe havens for illegal immigrants and would allow local law enforcement to become more involved in immigration enforcement but it failed to pass.

States Rights

In 2009, Perry made comments that sparked questions about his thoughts on the possible secession of Texas. Perry responded to a reporter's question about secession, saying, "Texas is a unique place. ... My hope is that America and Washington in particular pays attention. We've got a great union. There's absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, who knows what may come of that.

When Rick Perry announced his campaign for president last weekend in a speech to the RedState Gathering in Charleston, S.C., he saved

his best line for the end. “I’ll promise you this,’’ he said to exuberant cheers and applause, “I’ll work every day to try to make Washington, DC, as inconsequential in your life as I can.’’

I think we have learned from experience not to put too much faith in politicians and waste time on silly idol worship, they WILL fail us eventually. Perry looks solid though, and will be able to handle the pissing matches with the media. His record speaks for itself, he is experienced, and successful.
If he can survive the media onslaught and connect with voters across party lines, he will be the next President of The United States.

Obama administration looking for re-election "fix"

White House Press Secretary Claims "Unemployment Benefits Could Create Up To 1 Million Jobs"

I am not going to go on the usual rant " ARE THEY NUTS...blah, blah blah " There is no need. Any rational person can see the plan at work here. The Obama administration clearly has their eyes on re-election, not long term growth or healthy economy.

Obama likes this job. He likes flying Air Force One, he likes hopping around in Marine One, and being called "Mr. President" it impresses him, he likes how he looks and feels in this privileged position. If we gave him the choice he would never leave.

The messy democracy, the economy, jobs, wars that's all the stuff that gets in the way of him enjoying himself and being "Obama", but he deals with it.

If we gave every unemployed person in the country $50,000, it would create stuff, no doubt, temporary stuff. It would last until it ran out, just like the Stimulus, then crash again.

Obama's Pastor the foul mouthed Rev Wright likes to say when referencing Obama that "Sheep get lost six feet at time" They can't see well, and stumble from rock, to bush, to outcropping looking for their shepard. Obama can't see past the next election cycle.

The comedy that this admintartion has become is not just embarrassing, it is harmful to our country, economy and people. After taking office Obama assured the world he would knock America down to size. No more of this exceptionlism nonsense. We would be no better or no worse that any other third world country, or banana republic, we are closing in on them fast. His wife Michelle even remarked 'It was the first she was ever proud of her country", after we elected her husband.

Now it's election time. We get speeches about how great America is. We are AAA country, We used to build the best roads and stuff, there is no problem with America, only a problem with congress. Obviously he reads the polls and wants to take advantage of congress's low approval rating. But he should read deeper into the polls, because while Congresses approval rating is at an all time low, when pressed on the question most voters would send their representative back for another term. The polls now are indicating that most voters do not want to send Obama back for another term.

It remains to be seen how far this administration will go to get re-elected, but considering the election cycle has just begun it looks to be getting very ugly. very quickly That's bad news for us.

Republicans hold off Dems in Wisconsin

A stand by Wisconsin Republicans against a massive effort to oust them from power could reverberate across the country as the battle over union rights and the conservative revolution heads toward the 2012 presidential race.

Six Republicans faced recall elections in the Wisconsin state Senate. Democrats needed to pick up three seats to have a chance at taking control. They picked up two seats, falling short.

Next week Senate Democrats face two recall elections. Thus, the Democrat's gains may be short-lived.

5 Seats were decided earlier, the last seat was just announced. With 96% of the vote in, News 3 is calling District 8 for Incumbent Sen. Alberta Darling.

The two Democrat pickups were in liberal-leaning districts, with one Senator who barely won in the general election having other personal issues.
11:36 P.M.: Democrats have won a second state senate district — Oshkosh Deputy Mayor Jessica King (D) has beaten state Sen. Randy Hopper (R). King lost narrowly to Hopper in a 2008 race that went to a recount; this time around Hopper took hits not just for his voting record but for his messy divorce and relationship with a staffer.

Democrats have taken down two state senators — Dan Kapanke (R), and Randy Hopper. They need to win the final remaining race — against state Sens. Alberta Darling — to have a chance at taking back the state senate. Both Democratic state senators facing recalls next Tuesday will also have to hold onto their seats for the senate to change hands.
These election results will allow Governor Scott Walker to continue with his common-sense efforts to reform Wisconsin. The Democrats in Wisconsin will have to find some other way to subvert the will of the people.
