Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Week 92: Winning Friends and Influencing People
I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
Never meant to last, never meant to last
And I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I got stop wishin', got to go fishin'
Down to rock bottom again
Just a few friends, just a few friends
“A Pirate Looks at Forty”, Jimmy Buffett
There sure enough seems to be something about our “Campaigner and Political Hack-in-Chief’s” personality and shall we say character flaws that irritate, annoy and anger a lot of folks all across the political spectrum. Barack Husain Obama just has an a knack for bringing out the worst in people and evoking angry responses from politicians and Government officials historically unprecedented in this Country’s public discourse.
To our knowledge our “Provocateur-in-Chief” is the only US President that so angered a member of Congress during an address to a joint session of both Chambers he shouted out “You Lie” in response to a lie Mr. Obama proclaimed about illegal immigrants during his speech. Republican Congressman Joe Wilson from the great state of South Carolina, the guilty presidential heckler, was embarrassed, contrite, apologetic and genuinely befuddled about his egregious breach of Congressional decorum.
During a State of the Union Address our “BFF-in-Chief” openly and without shame told another whopper about a recent Supreme Court decision. The remark so enraged Justice Alito he mouthed the words “not true, not true” which was caught on camera and broadcast around the world. The good judge has subsequently announced he won’t be attending future State of the Union speeches because of the hyper partisan atmosphere surrounding the event.
Just this week a fellow Democrat, Rhode Island governor Frank Capri, told President Barack Obama to " shove it " after learning Obama would not endorse him. A most telling and illuminating remark from a senior member of the Democratic faithful.
So what exactly is it about Mr. Barack H. Obama that elicits such a hostile response from folks that typically conduct themselves in a professional and measured fashion. Truth be told it ain’t that big of a mystery:
• He’s a Socialist that lies like a cheap rug
• He’s a Marxist that lies like a cheap rug
• He’s a Marxist/Socialist that lies like a cheap rug
• He’s a Bolshevik that lies like a cheap rug
• He’s a Secular Progressive that lies like a cheap rug
• He’s a Muslim apologist that lies like a cheap rug
• He’s a terrorist appeaser that lies like a cheap rug
• He’s a Yankee lawyer that lies like a cheap rug
• He’s married to a Yankee lawyer that lies like a cheap rug
• He’s a racist; promoter of class warfare; pathological narcissist; hypocrite; blame America first; girly man that lies like a cheap rug
Considering this partial list of the President’s character flaws it’s certainly no surprise that most Democrats running for office in next week’s midterm elections are running like a scalded dog as fast and furious as they can away from the failed Obama/Pelosi/Reid agenda. Those few brave souls that aren’t concerned about the President annoying the hell out of their constituents have had the “Great Orator of Empty Rhetoric” out stumping on the campaign trail.
Following are several examples of his stale, historical revisionist, blame anyone but me, dishonest, infuriating, aggravating and just downright obnoxious standard remarks:
• “But we're not going to be able to get to where we need to go unless we understand how in fact we got here. We spent nearly 10 years on an economic agenda that was pretty straightforward: You cut taxes for the wealthiest among us, folks who didn't need tax cuts and weren't even asking for them; you cut rules for special interests; and you cut working folks loose so they've got to fend for themselves.
That was the philosophy of the last administration and that was the philosophy of their friends in Congress. And basically what they said is, if you can't find a job, tough luck -- you're on your own. If you don't have health insurance, too bad, tough luck -- you're on your own. If you're a young person who's trying to get to college, tough luck -- you're on your own.
Now, if you're a Wall Street bank or an insurance company or an oil company like BP, then you can write your own rules. And we know how this turned out"
A classic example of historical revisionism.
• “Think about it. Think about it. This is not a situation in which the Republicans -- after everything that they did to take record surpluses into record deficits, after all the failed policies that resulted ultimately in the worst recession since the 1930s, it's not as if they went back and they said, you know what, let's reflect on what we did wrong. (Laughter.) You know, obviously, there were some problems there, let's see if we've got a different set of theories about how we should approach the economy, and how we should look after the middle class.
They have not come up with a single, solitary idea that is any different from the policies of George W. Bush, the policies that they had in place for eight years before we had a crisis. (Applause.) What they are betting on is amnesia. (Laughter.) They are betting that you don't remember that they were in charge all this time. (Applause.) I think Pat may have mentioned to you, they're trying to get you to forget that they drove the car into the ditch. (Laughter.)
And after we've pushed it out, now they're saying, "Give us the keys back." (Laughter.) But we don't -- we haven't forgotten, because we've got mud on our shoes, our back is sore from pushing that car out of the ditch. I mean, if they want to get in the back seat, that's okay. But we're not going to put them behind the wheel.”
More lies, condescending, smart ass, sophomoric remarks. Truth be told we had a record number of months of economic expansion; unemployment averaged under 5% , and with tax breaks for everybody revenues to Federal coffers increased by over one trillion dollars under W. We’d also expect something a tad more cerebral from the Harvard Yard crowd than the car and ditch metaphor.
Lately we’ve been told their Socialist agenda isn’t popular because it’s just too hard to explain. In other words We the People are a bunch of ignorant yahoos that couldn’t possibly grasp the brilliance of these programs.
The arrogance, elitism, and disdain the Democrats and especially their leadership has shown for all of us poor dumb pilgrims that pay all the bills around here has definitely not won these boneheads any new friends or had a positive influence on any of our happy asses.
Midterm elections are next week. We encourage each and every one of you to vote early, often, and conservative.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Week 91: Chinese Calculus
Looking back on my past, sometimes has been a pretty strange ride
And I find it gets harder with time, to seperate the facts from the lies
Two Jerry Jeff's are in this world, Both using one ID
The other guy ain't got an idea, How hard being me can be
Well if he thinks it's gonna be easy, Think that he oughta think twice
With a high expectation and my reputation,
Man he's leading a dangerous life
“The OtherJerry Jeff Walker”, Jerry Jeff Walker
Ain’t no never mind bout it some things in life are just hard. Quantum physics; word problems – “if a train is heading north at 200 mph when will it crash head on into another train…”; running a marathon, scaling the summit at Mt. Everest; finding a cab driver in New York City that speaks English; scoring infield passes to a Monster Truck Rally and Chinese calculus are a few activities that come to mind.
According to Mr. “Foot in Mouth Dumber Than a Bag of Hammers” Vice President Uncle Joe Biden when it comes to their strategy for the upcoming election, “Democrats aren’t running on the administration’s accomplishments like health-care and financial-regulatory overhaul and the stimulus because it’s just too hard to explain”. The arrogance and elitism of this Administration is truly a sight to behold.
What exactly is Uncle Joe getting at when he claims “… it’s just too hard to explain”?
1. Actually, although certainly not his intent, Uncle Joe and his fellow liberal comrades the likes of white house Press Secretary and Senior Political Hack Robert Gibbs; Madame Speaker of The House Nancy “Did That Moronic Head Case Really Say That “Pelosi; Harry “Fixen to Be X Senator and Majority Leader” Reid; and Barbara “Don’t Call Me Mam General, Call Me Silly Winch, I’ve Earned It” Boxer are all at least one can short of a six-pack and too dim-witted to explain the legislation they conjured up and authored.
2. We the People are a bunch of ignorant yahoos who don’t have clue what’s good for us and should be grateful we have Uncle Sammy looking out for our best interest.
3. The bills in question are intentionally long, complex, and ambiguous to divert attention from their hidden agenda – Higher taxes; more government control; and a conversion to a Socialist Nanny state.
Obviously our Elitist-in-Chief and his Bolshevik brethren will never fess up and publically affirm their agreement with these claims even though all three are righter than rain.
• Uncle Joe and many of his fellow Democrat boneheads really are too dense and don’t have the mental capacity to comprehend let alone explain this legislation.
• The Administration has consistently expressed their disdain and low opinion for all of us tax payers starting with candidate Obama’s comments about clinging to our guns, God, and Bibles during the campaign.
• Veep Biden and afore mentioned company may be intellectually challenged but the President and several of his “Secret Shadow Government” of Czars know exactly what they are doing. Misguided Marxist/Socialist revolutionaries, but certainly not stupid, they have intestinally authored confusing, misleading and seemingly incomprehensible legislation that promotes their hidden agenda of creating a Communist Utopia right here in the good ole USA.
Only problem with the Administration’s “ Too hard to explain / We’re a bunch of ignorant yahoos / Write um up well beyond your typical college grad’s comprehension” strategy is that most of us poor dumb pilgrims who do all the work in this Country and foot the bill for all this insanity don’t need an explanation from Uncle Joe or any of his left wing slow coach compadres.
Fact is, we sure enough not only get it, the more we’ve learned about the Socialist philosophy, intellectually dishonest intent and almost criminal process employed to get this legislation railroaded through Congress the more PO’d we’ve become. We’re also abundantly aware of their nefarious hidden agenda and are all over this little charade like white on rice.
Following is a brief summary of the three pieces of legislation mentioned above by Uncle Joe that’s just “too hard to explain” to all of us ignorant, annoying, politically aware constituents:
Healthcare/Obamacare/Socialized Medicine
• If ultimately implemented the destruction of the world’s best healthcare system
• Cost will rise dramatically
• Quality of care will dramatically decrease
• Rationing will become SOP
• Abortions will be Federally funded
• Most folks will be forced to change docs
• End of life decisions will be dictated by pointy headed government political hacks
• The ultimate goal is to put all the private sector parties out of business and end up with Socialized medicine/Universal Care
Financial-Regulatory Overhaul:
• Over burdens businesses with oppressive and unnecessary regulations.
• Adds too much cost and compromises US Companies competitive position
• Stifles growth
• Kills jobs
• Perpetuates uncertainty
• Discourages productive risk taking
• The ultimate objective is to nationalize the entire financial services industry, redistribute all the wealth and start referring to each other as comrade at all public and private occasions
The One Trillion Dollar Stimulus:
• As the President has recently come clean on provided funding on not even one shovel ready project since such projects only exist in a liberal’s delusionary Communist compromised imagination
• The only jobs created were mostly public sector, temporary, Union and other political payoffs
• Saw unemployment hit ten percent where it still remains after we were assured it would stay south of eight percent if the Stimulus package was approved
• Has added at least another trillion dollars to the National debt without any tangible ROI
• Another Socialist initiative including a massive redistribution of wealth from all of us productive wealth generating pilgrims to Obama’s victim classes
It really ain’t hard at all to explain or comprehend the Obama Administration’s three signature legislative achievments that most Democrat candidates are running fast and furious from like a one eyed scalded dog. In the grand scheme of things they are all another component of his ultimate plan to transform the world’s most productive and successful capitalist economy into just another third world Socialist regime.
Compared to the extreme difficulty of watching the Braves lose again in the first round of post season play; enduring Auburn’s undefeated season; and learning Chinese calculus explaining and understanding Obama’s legislative agenda is a piece of proverbial baklava.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Week 90: Our Anything But Commander-in-Chief
“I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.”
George Washington
Our founding fathers were downright particular and exceedingly deliberate when considering options for the title to bestow upon the individual elected to lead our new government. For obvious reasons they wanted to avoid any titles that smacked of royalty or a monarchy which contradicted their tenants of a new form of government “for, by and of the people”.
After ruling out it's his ship now, his command, he's in charge, the boss, the head man, top dog, big cheese, head honcho, number one, numerous uno and you the man they settled on the title of President. They also referred to the position as Chief Executive and Commander-in-Chief.
When contemplating the attributes and characteristics of our current occupant of the White House addressing him as President is almost tolerable but Chief Executive and Commander-in-Chief can really put a hitch in the ole get along. Especially when you consider the man assumed office with absolutely no executive experience or aptitude for the job and the words Commander and Obama should never collide in the same sentence.
Over the course of the last ninety weeks we have used over 200 variations of the Commander-in-Chief title which in our humble opinion more accurately describe President Obama’s role and function. To help mark ninety weeks of the arrogance, chaos and insanity imposed upon us by the “ Yes We Can/Change/Believe” gang a review of some of the most relevant of these titles might serve as a good reminder of this Administration’s incompetence, hidden agenda and true intentions:
• Socialist-in-Chief

With the midterm elections bearing down on our Campaigner-in-Chief and his Congressional comrades like a tornado on a trailer park the President is out on the trail earning new titles that further demean him and the office he took an oath to uphold. About to take a beating usually reserved for a redheaded stepchild the Dems have lashed out in desperation trying to divert attentiom from their failed economic policies and Marxist/Socialist agenda.
Our Political Hack, Maker of False and Unfounded Accusations, Say Anything the Truth be Damned-in-Chief is stooping to new lows trying to salvage something from the pending political calamity they are about to experience. Following President Washington’s example to aspire for the title “Character of an Honest Man” or something similar is as foreign of a concept to Mr Obama as capitalism, honor, integrity, American exceptionalism and the true meaning of the title Commander-in-Chief.

Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Weeks 89: The Exaggerated Presidency
“There are some people so addicted to exaggeration that they can't tell the truth without lying.”
Josh Billings, American Humorist
Rahm Emanuel, the profane hyper partisan ultra liberal Chief of Staff to our 44th President, turned in his resignation this week. The White House hatchet man plans to strong arm; intimidate; extort; bribe; and swindle his way into the epitome of dream jobs for a corrupt Illlinois politician, Mayor of Chicago.
Following the lead of three fellow left wing head cases and senior staffers, Peter Orszag, head of the Office of Management and Budget; Christina Romer, Chairwoman of Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers; and Larry Summers, the Director of the White House National Economic Council; Rahm “The Enforcer” Emanuel is the fourth close advisor to the President to jump ship right smack dab in the middle of the Obama Administrtion’s train wreck of a first term.
During one of our “Great Orator of Empty Rhetoric-In-Chief’s” multiple daily TV appearances this week he made the official announcement of Emanuel’s resignation and a thinly veiled endorsement of his Mayorial candidacy. The President then made several obligatory farewell remarks and turned the microphone over to his departing trusted advisor and political attack dog.
Uncharacteristically the famously caustic, abrasive and imposing Emanuel got extremely emotional and literally cried like a little girl when addressing the press. He went on to thank the President profusely and then made some of the most remarkable, historically incorrect, dishonest, and incredible exaggrerations ever uttered in the White House:
1. He congratulated the President for averting "the second great depression".
2. He then declared our mild mannered; intellectually eliite; academic egg head; policy wonk; pacifist; war protesting flower child of the sixties wannabe; advocate of a bend over, grab his ankles, thank you sir may I have another foreign policy was "the toughest leader any country could ask for, in the toughest times any president has ever faced”.
After we all pick ourselves up off the floor, wipe the tears from our eyes, and stop laughing are collective happy asses off one more look at his second remark is certainly called for:
"…the toughest leader any country could ask for, in the toughest times any president has ever faced”.
For an Administration that has told more lies; created more fantastical crisis; deceived millions on multiple occasions; implemented a stealth and insedious propaganda campaign promoting their Marxist/Socialist agenda; arrogantly disregarded the will of the people the comment "…the toughest leader any country could ask for, in the toughest times any president has ever faced” just might be their most absurd, outrageous and gross exaggeration to date. It’s truly amazing this gang hasn’t all died from exhaustion from patting each other on their own backs.
As for his comment about averting the “next Great Deppresion” nothing more than silly, dillusional, arbitrary hyperbole not really worthy of further comment. However, Emanuel’s statement "…the toughest leader any country could ask for, in the toughest times any president has ever faced” demands a response to protect the honor and integrity of the Office and former Commander-in-Chiefs.
So Rahm and Barack think they have had a tough time. Following are some the challenges they have confronted:
-• Recession brought on by housing bubble and irresponsible lenders. Measures taken by W, TARP, averted the potential of another Depression. Actions by Obama have prolonged and deepened the economic downturn. Most likely intentional to advance their hidden agenda.
• Iraq War – Won by W. True to form Obama/Biden tried to take credit but even their adoring media elite press corps found this claim adsurd.
• Healthcare – Fabricated crisis.
• Energy – Fabricated crisis
• Global Warming – An unproven theory and another fabricated crisis.
• Nuclear Iran – Real threat totally mishandled by the Administration
• Afghanastan – Indecision and set withdrawl date smacks of weakness and lack of resolve.
• Gulf oil spill – Totally inept response and gross incompetence from day one.
• Their three most difficult challenges are probably muzzling VEEP Uncle Joe Biden. Keeping Hillary “Queen of the Order of the Butt Ugly Pants Suit Clan” Clinton safe from enemy sniper fire and also keeping all the tax cheats in his Cabinet and on his staff one step ahead of the jailer
For comparison purposes following is a listing of Presidents who confronted real crisis and truly tough times in stark contrast to the blatant exaggeration; total disrespect; intellectual dishonesty; and arrogance of Emanuel’s remarks:
George Washington
• Governed a fragile new nation deeply in debt from the war; still greatly divided over poltical issues; and a rebellious Congress understandably hostile and mistrustfull of a Central Government.
• Fully aware of the historical significance and establishment of precedents his Presidency was responsible for.

Weeks 89: The Exaggerated Presidency
“There are some people so addicted to exaggeration that they can't tell the truth without lying.”
Josh Billings, American Humorist
Rahm Emanuel, the profane hyper partisan ultra liberal Chief of Staff to our 44th President, turned in his resignation this week. The White House hatchet man plans to strong arm; intimidate; extort; bribe; and swindle his way into the epitome of dream jobs for a corrupt Illlinois politician, Mayor of Chicago.
Following the lead of three fellow left wing head cases and senior staffers, Peter Orszag, head of the Office of Management and Budget; Christina Romer, Chairwoman of Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers; and Larry Summers, the Director of the White House National Economic Council; Rahm “The Enforcer” Emanuel is the fourth close advisor to the President to jump ship right smack dab in the middle of the Obama Administrtion’s train wreck of a first term.
During one of our “Great Orator of Empty Rhetoric-In-Chief’s” multiple daily TV appearances this week he made the official announcement of Emanuel’s resignation and a thinly veiled endorsement of his Mayorial candidacy. The President then made several obligatory farewell remarks and turned the microphone over to his departing trusted advisor and political attack dog.
Uncharacteristically the famously caustic, abrasive and imposing Emanuel got extremely emotional and literally cried like a little girl when addressing the press. He went on to thank the President profusely and then made some of the most remarkable, historically incorrect, dishonest, and incredible exaggrerations ever uttered in the White House:
1. He congratulated the President for averting "the second great depression".
2. He then declared our mild mannered; intellectually eliite; academic egg head; policy wonk; pacifist; war protesting flower child of the sixties wannabe; advocate of a bend over, grab his ankles, thank you sir may I have another foreign policy was "the toughest leader any country could ask for, in the toughest times any president has ever faced”.
After we all pick ourselves up off the floor, wipe the tears from our eyes, and stop laughing are collective happy asses off one more look at his second remark is certainly called for:
"…the toughest leader any country could ask for, in the toughest times any president has ever faced”.
For an Administration that has told more lies; created more fantastical crisis; deceived millions on multiple occasions; implemented a stealth and insedious propaganda campaign promoting their Marxist/Socialist agenda; arrogantly disregarded the will of the people the comment "…the toughest leader any country could ask for, in the toughest times any president has ever faced” just might be their most absurd, outrageous and gross exaggeration to date. It’s truly amazing this gang hasn’t all died from exhaustion from patting each other on their own backs.
As for his comment about averting the “next Great Deppresion” nothing more than silly, dillusional, arbitrary hyperbole not really worthy of further comment. However, Emanuel’s statement "…the toughest leader any country could ask for, in the toughest times any president has ever faced” demands a response to protect the honor and integrity of the Office and former Commander-in-Chiefs.
So Rahm and Barack think they have had a tough time. Following are some the challenges they have confronted:
-• Recession brought on by housing bubble and irresponsible lenders. Measures taken by W, TARP, averted the potential of another Depression. Actions by Obama have prolonged and deepened the economic downturn. Most likely intentional to advance their hidden agenda.
• Iraq War – Won by W. True to form Obama/Biden tried to take credit but even their adoring media elite press corps found this claim adsurd.
• Healthcare – Fabricated crisis.
• Energy – Fabricated crisis
• Global Warming – An unproven theory and another fabricated crisis.
• Nuclear Iran – Real threat totally mishandled by the Administration
• Afghanastan – Indecision and set withdrawl date smacks of weakness and lack of resolve.
• Gulf oil spill – Totally inept response and gross incompetence from day one.
• Their three most difficult challenges are probably muzzling VEEP Uncle Joe Biden. Keeping Hillary “Queen of the Order of the Butt Ugly Pants Suit Clan” Clinton safe from enemy sniper fire and also keeping all the tax cheats in his Cabinet and on his staff one step ahead of the jailer
For comparison purposes following is a listing of Presidents who confronted real crisis and truly tough times in stark contrast to the blatant exaggeration; total disrespect; intellectual dishonesty; and arrogance of Emanuel’s remarks:
George Washington
• Governed a fragile new nation deeply in debt from the war; still greatly divided over poltical issues; and a rebellious Congress understandably hostile and mistrustfull of a Central Government.
• Fully aware of the historical significance and establishment of precedents his Presidency was responsible for.
• Maintaining peace while literally surrounded by the likesof the British Empire, French, Spanish, and Native Americans all hell bent on making their claim to the New World.
• Eating with wooden teeth. Corn-on-the –cobb and Chinese take out in particular were a real bitch.
Thomas Jefferson
• Dealt with most of the same issues Washington confronted.
• Defeated the Federalist Party, the strong centrlal government crowd, leading to their ultimate demise and influencing politics in this Country to this day.
• More than doubled the geographic size of our new nation with the Louisana Purchase which was adamantly opposed by the Brits, Spanish and Native Americans.
• Keeping his illegitament children resulting fom multiple liaisons with hisown slave girls a secret.

Weeks 88: Taxation With Representation
Someday I'm more gone in here
Some days I like to just sit and drink beer.
And some days I can't wait until I get home
All I like to do is play music and golf
The money I make pays the IRS off
Without you, Susan, I'd simply be a rolling stone
Weeks 88: Taxation With Representation
Someday I'm more gone in here
Some days I like to just sit and drink beer.
And some days I can't wait until I get home
All I like to do is play music and golf
The money I make pays the IRS off
Without you, Susan, I'd simply be a rolling stone
All I know is you gotta keep trying
You gotta laugh now and then to keep from crying
The only sure thing is taxes and dying
And your lovin makes the living worth while
“Lovin Makes Livin Worthwhile”, Jerry Jeff Walker
“No taxation without representation” was one of the most fervent battle cries of the American Revolution. King George’s taxes on tea and ultimately the Stamp Act, which essentially levied a tax on every piece of printed documentation in the Colonies, were the catalyst that finally compelled our Founding Fathers to take up arms and show the British Empire what for.
Two hundred and thirty-five years later the same Country founded on a rebellion against oppressive taxation has imposed more taxes than white on rice. Cradle to grave, backward and forward, Uncle Sammy gets a piece of the action every step of the way.
With an over abundance of representation at every level of government, County; City; State; Federal, all of us poor dumb pilgrims mindlessly fork over thousands of dollars every year for all manner of taxes our founding fathers would have considered abhorrent. Slowly but surely like sheeps to slaughter we have been conditioned / brainwashed to view this thievery as necessary and acceptable.
Not only are most of these taxes unnecessary and unacceptable their also unconstitutional, illegal and to some extent immoral. If the church only expects ten percent why do we tolerate a government that’s suppose to be “of, by, and for the people” confiscating north of fifty percent of our income.
We sure enough ain’t got anybody to blame but our own trusting, uninformed and apathetic happy asses for allowing the Government to steal us blind. That being said, by no means are all of the corrupt addicted to other people’s money County Commissions; City Councils; State Legislatures; The US Congress; and all the bleeding heart liberal Democrats and a few misguided Republicans occupying the Oval Office off of the hook for to the extent possible secretly / under the radar imposing hundreds of new oppressive taxes that would make most any Marxist/Socialists right proud.
Following is a list of representative taxes our representatives have created to fund our Government that is spreading faster than kudzu into every facet of our lives. Sad to say this is a partial list that includes only a fraction of the taxes we are subjected to by Uncle Sammy and friends:
• Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)
• U.S. capital gains tax
• Corporate income tax
• U.S. estate tax
• U.S. excise tax (includes taxes on cigarettes and alcoholic beverages)
• U.S. federal income tax
Federal unemployment tax (FUTA)
• FICA tax (includes Social Security tax and related programs)
• Gasoline tax
• Generation Skipping Tax
• Gift tax
• IRS penalties
• Luxury taxes
• Property tax
• Real estate tax
• Recreational vehicle tax
• Rental car tax
• Resort tax (also known as Hotel/Motel tax, occupancy tax)
• Road usage taxes (Commercial Vehicle Operators)
• School tax
• State unemployment tax (SUTA)
• Tariffs
• Telephone federal excise tax
• Vehicle sales tax
• Workers compensation tax
It sure enough is hard to imagine ole Tommy Jefferson, John Boy Adams, Bennie Franklin, the G Man Washington and Al Hamilton sitting around Ye Old Tavern knocking back a few cold pints of grog after a long day of nation building and rebellious conspiracy discussing the merits of the Alternative Minimum or Generation Skipping Taxes. Even income taxes would have been viewed as intrusive, oppressive and tyrannical by these patriots.
In stark contrast our current Big Time Spender-In-Chief has never seen a tax he didn’t greet with a warm embrace and sloppy wet kiss. The Obama Administration has been imposing new and growth choking taxes faster than a scalded dog running home to Mama.
During the last 88 weeks President Obama and his Congressional Democrat comrades have imposed tax increases totaling more than $670 billion. These tax increases include at least 20 violations of the President’s pledge not to raise taxes even a penny on anyone earning less than $250,000.
As bad as this thieving is the real insanity doesn’t start till January 1, 2011 when the largest tax hikes in the history of America will take effect. Following is a summary of the pending financial disaster headed our way compliments of Obama, Pelosi and Reid.
• Expiration of 2001 and 2003 Tax Relief
• Personal income tax rates will rise from 35 to 39.6 percent (this is also the rate at which two-thirds of small business profits are taxed).
• The lowest rate will rise from 10 to 15 percent.
• Itemized deductions and personal exemptions will again phase out, which has the same effect as higher marginal tax rates.
• The "marriage penalty" will return from the first dollar of income.
• The child tax credit will be cut in half from $1000 to $500 per child.
• The dependent care and adoption tax credits will be cut.
• Return of the Death Tax.
• The capital gains tax will rise from 15 percent this year to 20 percent in 2011. • The dividends tax will rise from 15 percent this year to 39.6 percent in 2011.
• There are over twenty new or higher taxes in the new Obamacare.
• Americans will no longer be able to use health savings account (HSA), flexible spending account (FSA), or health reimbursement (HRA) pre-tax dollars to purchase non-prescription, over-the-counter medicines.
• The "Special Needs Kids Tax" This provision of the new healthcare imposes a cap on flexible spending accounts (FSAs) of $2500 (Currently, there is no federal government limit). There is one group of FSA owners for whom this new cap will be particularly cruel and onerous: parents of special needs children.
• The HSA (Health Savings Account) Withdrawal Tax Hike. This provision of the healthcare plan increases the additional tax on non-medical early withdrawals from an HSA from 10 to 20 percent, disadvantaging them relative to IRAs and other tax-advantaged accounts, which remain at 10 percent.
• According to the Tax Policy Center, Congress' failure to index the AMT will lead to an explosion of AMT taxpaying families-rising from 4 million last year to 28.5 million. These families will have to calculate their tax burdens twice, and pay taxes at the higher level.
• Small business expensing will be slashed and 50% expensing will disappear.
• Tax Benefits for Education and Teaching Reduced.
• The deduction for tuition and fees will not be available.
• Tax credits for education will be limited.
• Teachers will no longer be able to deduct classroom expenses.
• Coverdell Education Savings Accounts will be cut.
• Employer-provided educational assistance is curtailed.
• Charitable Contributions from IRAs no longer allowed.
• With Obama your insurance will be INCOME on your W2's!
• Starting in 2011 your W-2 tax form sent by your employer will be increased to show the value of whatever health insurance you are given by the company. It does not matter if that's a private concern or governmental body of some sort.
• For many, it also puts you into a new higher bracket.
In the grand scheme of things “Taxation With Representation” hasn’t exactly been an improvement over “No Taxation Without Representation”. Word from the Capital this week from Obama, Pelosi and Reid no vote to extend the W era tax cuts which means trillions in wealth are about to be redistributed.
Instead of dumping tea in Boston Harbor maybe it’s high time we threw Madam Speaker Pelosi off the Golden Gate bridge into the bay, tossed Majority Leader Reid off Hoover Damn, and sent President Obama on a long walk off a short peer into the Potomac. After all it was Thomas Jefferson who said “Every generation needs a new revolution.”

Thoughts of Obama From Bama
Weeks 87: The Politics of Public Opinion
“The South is dry and will vote dry. That is, everybody sober enough to stagger to the polls will.” Will Rogers
Politicians live and die by Public Opinion Polls. Every move they make, the words that roll off their tongue, even the most seemingly trivial goin ons are poll tested and focus group reviewed.
Barack Husain Obama is no exception to this tried and true political reality. For example, his decision to back up his standing Sunday morning tee time and take the little woman and youngins to church last week for the second or third time since his occupation of the White House was a political decision based on two factors:
1. The real chance of a Democrat blood bath in the upcoming midterm elections.
2. A recent poll showing that 25% or there abouts of the folks in this country think our “Reluctant Church Attendee-in-Chief” is a Muslim.
A short weekend vacation at the Gulf this summer, letting his hair go naturally grey and what TV anchors to grant interviews and news programs to appear on are all decisions driven by public opinion polls and the political hacks in the West Wing analysis of this information. Political strategies, tactics and priorities are also to a great extent poll driven.
Current polling, even from Obama media sluts and enablers including the likes of CBS, NBC, CNN and the New York Times, ain’t exactly looking too good for the “Yes We Can in Only 87 Weeks Fall From Most Loved, Adored and Worshiped to Boneheaded, Incompetent, Socialist, Muslim” gang. A review of recent polling from Real Clear Politics and Fox News reveals the Obama Administration and their Congressional Democrat Comrades are ranked right behind any cable TV company, IRS Customer Service and a warm bucket of spit in job approval and performance.
Consider the following:
• The GOP has a 20 point lead generically with likely voters
• 80% believe the US is viewed weaker by the rest of the world than under W
• 47% to 37% favor replacing Speaker Nancy “Unemployment Checks Are The Most Effective Economic Stimulus the Government Can Provide” Pelosi with a Republican
• President Obama’s approval rating has sunk to a new low at 42%
• Less than 40% approve of his handling of the economy
• 60% believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, 33% don’t
• Republicans have a 11% edge on dealing with the economy
• An 18% advantage on trustworthiness
• A big ole 29% lead on taxes
• In direct opposition to Obamacare the GOP scores 12 points higher on taking care of all the sick folk
• The Pelosi Reid Congress has a below 20% approval
To his credit, and the Country’s detriment, President Obama does tend to ignore public opinion when it comes to his core values. In fact, this man is the most dangerous type of political leader – a zealot, true believer, transformative revolutionary committed to fundamental change.
In the case of Mr. Obama covert change that slowly but relentlessly chokes out capitalism, freedom and personal liberties to be replaced with Socialism, the redistribution of wealth and intrusive big government control of our life. The Obama gang by all means has the Constitutional right to pursue and advocate their leftist Socialist agenda.
We only wish they’d man up, be honest, and openly and without shame make their case in public based on the merits instead of cowardly sneaking their Marxist/Socialist Utopian dreams of world dominance in the backdoor under the cover of night. Reckon that’s why most folks know as much about our 44th President as they do about Chinese calculus.
In our never ending efforts to keep the public informed we conducted our own poll to uncover what the folks really think about our Young Revolutionary-in-Chief. Following is a summary of our findings:
• 72% think the President is a Bolshevik
• 73% think the President is a Communist
• 75% think the President is a Marxist
• 80 % think the President is a Socialist
• 62% think the President is a KGB Agent
• 57% think the President starred in the 1960’s civil rights classic “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner”
• 25% think the President is a Muslim
• 15% think the President is a Islamic Jihadist
• 23% think the President is is a Islamic cleric
• 41% think the President was the voice of the evil Arab in Disney’s Aladdin
• 51% think the President is the most dangerous man in the world
• 60% think Ahmadinejad from Iran is the most dangerous man in the world
• 52% say OBL is the most dangerous man in the world
• 44% say Hillary “of the Butt Ugly Pants Suit Clan” is the most dangerous man in the world
• 61% think Obama moonlights as hip hop rapper SPENDMOOTHERPEOPLESMONEY
• 67% think the President is is a bonehead
• 65% think the President is is a pinhead
• 64% think the President has a pointy head
• 68% think the President is is a egg head
• 80% think the President is is an elitist who views the American people with disdain and arrogance
• 70% say they enjoyed his role as Sherriff Bart in “Blazing Saddles”
• 80% think Obama is the worst President is in the history of the Union
• 60% think the President should change their theme from “Yes We Can” to “Liar Liar Pants on Fire”
• 65% say they’d gladly take a beatin usually reserved for a red headed stepchild than vote for Obama again
• 90% just absolutely loved him as Bubba in “Forrest Gump”
President Obama is busier than a one legged man at an ass kicking contest stealthy implementing his radical Marxist/Socialist coup. Polls, the Constitution and the will of “We the People” are not even a consideration to a singularly focused boneheaded revolutionary, or at least so say 67% in our latest poll.

• 47% to 37% favor replacing Speaker Nancy “Unemployment Checks Are The Most Effective Economic Stimulus the Government Can Provide” Pelosi with a Republican
• President Obama’s approval rating has sunk to a new low at 42%
• Less than 40% approve of his handling of the economy
• 60% believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, 33% don’t
• Republicans have a 11% edge on dealing with the economy
• An 18% advantage on trustworthiness
• A big ole 29% lead on taxes
• In direct opposition to Obamacare the GOP scores 12 points higher on taking care of all the sick folk
• The Pelosi Reid Congress has a below 20% approval
To his credit, and the Country’s detriment, President Obama does tend to ignore public opinion when it comes to his core values. In fact, this man is the most dangerous type of political leader – a zealot, true believer, transformative revolutionary committed to fundamental change.
In the case of Mr. Obama covert change that slowly but relentlessly chokes out capitalism, freedom and personal liberties to be replaced with Socialism, the redistribution of wealth and intrusive big government control of our life. The Obama gang by all means has the Constitutional right to pursue and advocate their leftist Socialist agenda.
We only wish they’d man up, be honest, and openly and without shame make their case in public based on the merits instead of cowardly sneaking their Marxist/Socialist Utopian dreams of world dominance in the backdoor under the cover of night. Reckon that’s why most folks know as much about our 44th President as they do about Chinese calculus.
In our never ending efforts to keep the public informed we conducted our own poll to uncover what the folks really think about our Young Revolutionary-in-Chief. Following is a summary of our findings:
• 72% think the President is a Bolshevik
• 73% think the President is a Communist
• 75% think the President is a Marxist
• 80 % think the President is a Socialist
• 62% think the President is a KGB Agent
• 57% think the President starred in the 1960’s civil rights classic “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner”
• 25% think the President is a Muslim
• 15% think the President is a Islamic Jihadist
• 23% think the President is is a Islamic cleric
• 41% think the President was the voice of the evil Arab in Disney’s Aladdin
• 51% think the President is the most dangerous man in the world
• 60% think Ahmadinejad from Iran is the most dangerous man in the world
• 52% say OBL is the most dangerous man in the world
• 44% say Hillary “of the Butt Ugly Pants Suit Clan” is the most dangerous man in the world
• 61% think Obama moonlights as hip hop rapper SPENDMOOTHERPEOPLESMONEY
• 67% think the President is is a bonehead
• 65% think the President is is a pinhead
• 64% think the President has a pointy head
• 68% think the President is is a egg head
• 80% think the President is is an elitist who views the American people with disdain and arrogance
• 70% say they enjoyed his role as Sherriff Bart in “Blazing Saddles”
• 80% think Obama is the worst President is in the history of the Union
• 60% think the President should change their theme from “Yes We Can” to “Liar Liar Pants on Fire”
• 65% say they’d gladly take a beatin usually reserved for a red headed stepchild than vote for Obama again
• 90% just absolutely loved him as Bubba in “Forrest Gump”
President Obama is busier than a one legged man at an ass kicking contest stealthy implementing his radical Marxist/Socialist coup. Polls, the Constitution and the will of “We the People” are not even a consideration to a singularly focused boneheaded revolutionary, or at least so say 67% in our latest poll.

Weeks 87: The Politics of Public Opinion
“The South is dry and will vote dry. That is, everybody sober enough to stagger to the polls will.” Will Rogers
Politicians live and die by Public Opinion Polls. Every move they make, the words that roll off their tongue, even the most seemingly trivial goin ons are poll tested and focus group reviewed.
Barack Husain Obama is no exception to this tried and true political reality. For example, his decision to back up his standing Sunday morning tee time and take the little woman and youngins to church last week for the second or third time since his occupation of the White House was a political decision based on two factors:
1. The real chance of a Democrat blood bath in the upcoming midterm elections.
2. A recent poll showing that 25% or there abouts of the folks in this country think our “Reluctant Church Attendee-in-Chief” is a Muslim.
A short weekend vacation at the Gulf this summer, letting his hair go naturally grey and what TV anchors to grant interviews and news programs to appear on are all decisions driven by public opinion polls and the political hacks in the West Wing analysis of this information. Political strategies, tactics and priorities are also to a great extent poll driven.
Current polling, even from Obama media sluts and enablers including the likes of CBS, NBC, CNN and the New York Times, ain’t exactly looking too good for the “Yes We Can in Only 87 Weeks Fall From Most Loved, Adored and Worshiped to Boneheaded, Incompetent, Socialist, Muslim” gang. A review of recent polling from Real Clear Politics and Fox News reveals the Obama Administration and their Congressional Democrat Comrades are ranked right behind any cable TV company, IRS Customer Service and a warm bucket of spit in job approval and performance.
Consider the following:
• The GOP has a 20 point lead generically with likely voters
• 80% believe the US is viewed weaker by the rest of the world than under W
• 47% to 37% favor replacing Speaker Nancy “Unemployment Checks Are The Most Effective Economic Stimulus the Government Can Provide” Pelosi with a Republican
• President Obama’s approval rating has sunk to a new low at 42%
• Less than 40% approve of his handling of the economy
• 60% believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, 33% don’t
