Weekend Obamanations – Barrage Agenda, Socialized Med True Cost, Criminal Illegals Pandering, Wealthy 2nd Thoughts






I sound like I’m beating the same drum over and over here folks but I must say that our beloved Obamanation is the gift that keeps giving this prolific,(well not quite prolific, yet), blogger. I am slowly drifting out of a restful Saturday night sleep with a large cup of coffee here at the desk thinking to myself “I wonder what I could blog about today.” In this spirit I pull up a dozen sites that I visit daily, the Washington Times, Telegraph.co.uk, Newsmax, and several others. I find that as is true nearly day, our Beloved One jumps out of every page. I hate to sound absurd here but it’s almost as if every day I could just title an entry, “Obamanation and Socialism Insert Day of the Week Here___”

Via Newsmax, Brent Brozell of Media Research Center, a conservative media watchdog group says it well – “The m.o. of this administration, flooding the public with so many initiatives, that they won’t have the time to explore them….the spending programs of Barack Obamanation are clearly the most radical in history of the United States of America”


I peruse around the Newsmax site and find this story – “Upfront Costs Complicate Obama’s Health Care Plan”
The article goes on to explain that the 10 year total tab for the One’s health care program could exceed 1.5 trillion dollars. $634 billion has been set aside. Listen to this – “Obama is hoping the Senate comes up with a bipartisan compromise that would give him political cover for disagreeable decisions to raise more money, such as taxing some health insurance benefits.” No kidding, new taxes for socialized health care? Say it isn’t so.
And more – ”Obama wants to build on the current system in which employers, government and individuals share responsibility for health care. He says his plan would make health insurance more affordable.” And American think that the Federal government can accomplish this? The same government that runs the DMV, and can’t even coordinate a fly-over of Air Force One in Manhattan?

Next story here, this one involving illegal immigration. Remember this week’s wonderful story on how the Obamanation ‘found’ 17 billion dollars to ‘cut’ from the federal budget? Such an incredible feat from our Leader, laying to rest American’s fear of rising taxes and debt? Be careful what you ask for, apparently part of the ‘cuts’ is ending the SCAAP program, under which states received $400 million in the current fiscal year to cover the cost of incarcerating convicts and pre-trial detainees who are illegally in the U.S. Think these illegal aliens will be released onto the streets in places like CA because of this? Nah, no way. Our Fearless Obamanation won’t let that happen. A small step for the cause of tapping millions of welfare-state voter constituents, changing the landscape of our country forever. Do you think that we will ever have a conservative majority ever again in congress if million of illegal aliens are given amnesty? Follow the money trail on this one.

Our wise British friends at the Telegraph have this story here“Barack Obama’s rich supporters fear his tax plans show he’s a class warrior”
Now this one is interesting to me dear reader. Apparently wealthy wall-streeters are having second thoughts about their candidate and didn’t quite read between the lines. In the article from a top Obama fundraiser and hedge-fundie “I’m appalled at the anti-Wall Street rhetoric. It was OK on the campaign but now it’s the real world. I’m surprised that Obama is turning out to be so left-wing. He’s a real class warrior.” No kidding, and you never heard of Saul Alinsky? Obamanation’s own words in his books like this from the article in Dreams of My Father -“I would imagine myself as a captain of industry, barking out orders, closing the deal, before I remembered who it was that I had told myself that I want to be.” You got it, capitalists appeal to the most base of instinct – to make a profit and ‘bark orders.’ Committed liberal and famous investor Warren Buffet – “Job one is to win the war, the economic war, job two is to win the economic war, and job three,” he said recently. “You can’t expect people to unite behind you if you’re trying to jam a whole bunch of things down their throat.” Some Democrats are expressing concern, will more follow?
Continuing on in the article – ”It has also dawned on wealthy Americans who flocked to the Obama campaign of “Hope” and “Change” that the president opposes the “trickle down” theories that have guided US economics since President Ronald Reagan was elected with a mandate to slash taxes” This one is a shocker, really? The Obamanation’s #1 goal from day one, is to repeal everything from the Reagan Legacy and return American to a more ‘fair’ society, albeit much less wealthy, overtaxed, indebted to future generations, and more ‘equal’ on a lower scale. But at least that is more ‘fair.’

Nice post. Thought I’d stop by, say Hi, and say thanks for the follow.

I have a lefty at work that has MS. I wonder how long gov’t run health care will take to get her the appointments and meds that she needs.

Great post. I’m working on a post about how all these programs he wants to start are half planned and have a lot of missing details. You sort of touched on it with the health care. Obama is truly a poor leader. He can get people behind an idea, but can’t seem to close the deal. Details are not one of his strengths.

How can anyone be surprised by what Obama has become? Were they under a rock during the campaign?

Former Liberal – It makes me wonder too, do these people not know that government control will absolutely lead to rationing, plain and simple. I have someone very close to me that has cancer and know that she would not have the treatment that she has (chemo that costs 10k per week, if we were to have government run health care. This needs to be known!

CG – Sounds like a great post you are coming up with, Obama is indeed a pathetic leader, I hope that this will be his downfall…

RK – I’m not surprised unfortunately, can you imagine that these successful hedge fund guys didn’t see this? Are you kidding me?
