Obamacare conference

It seems that the President's whole purpose here was to talk down to and demean the Republicans. He was very rude and disrespectful to them. He had this televised to make his point, that he is the President and he will do as he pleases regardless of the opposition he gets from the folks or the Republicans in Congress. His true motive was on display in this meeting and I was not surprised at all.

Another "What are they thinking"

The state of California is trying to sell billions in bonds to pay for the high speed rail through the central valley. If you or I tried to sell bonds to finance another debt for a project that is not needed or wanted do you think anyone would buy them? These bonds will have to be paid back. Where is the state going to get the money in this time of financial crisis? When you're bankrupt you don't just keep incuring debt. You pull in your spending and only do what's essential. What are they thinking???
President Obama is going to try to ramrod the Healthcare bill through despite all of the opposition. The people don't want it, the Republicans don't want it but he continues on. Today he is going to try and say that the conservatives in Congress are being obstructionist but they are only standing up for the will of the people. He is having this conference for show only. He does not want to listen to anything they say. It is so simple,as I've said before. Tort reform and cross state border competition for the insurance companies. But of course, that's not socialized medicine!
What is he thinking???

Big business-evil?

I'm so sick of hearing liberals decrying big business and big corporations. Think about it,for God's sake. If it were not for them there would be no jobs. If government continues down this path they will force all business out of this country,there will be no jobs and everyone will be dependent on them. Just look at Haiti-is this what you want for our country? We have always been a nation of doers, now we're turning into a nation of takers. We need big business for jobs, research and development of new products and ,yes,wealth! By the way, r&d is a huge part of the space program that Obama is putting the squeeze on right now. By stopping the program he has single handedly done away with large numbers of jobs in one fell swoop! The government cannot produce any growth in jobs. Someone has to earn money and pay taxes. The government can print money to pay their employees with but the more it prints the less value the money has. If our currency collapses it's over for us.
If this trend continues we will be a third world country before the end of Obama's one term in office. I hope you all remember that we are the greatest nation on earth and we should continue to see us in that light. Look at what is happening to Europe. Is this what you want for us. The European type of socialism will ruin us and then the Islamic radicals will move in to take over without firing another shot. Obama is trying to take us down that road. We have to put a stop to this!

We're drowning

Mr. President,

Please don't let your personal political views get in the way of doing what is right for our country. Give up on the far left, socialist ideas and get down to what is best for the rest of us. Give tax cuts to those who will make use of them by creating jobs. Don't allow the Congress to legislate us into third world status with all of their left wing bills. Protect us from harm(Iran is saber rattling this am). A huge percentage of us don't want any of the bills passed that are now in Congress. If you don't let the business community do what it does best,provide jobs, this recession will surely turn into a depression.

Michelle Obama



No, Michele Obama does not get paid to serve as the First Lady and she doesn't perform any official duties. But this hasn't deterred her from hiring an unprecedented number of staffers to cater to her every whim and to satisfy her every request in the midst of the Great Recession.



Just think, Mary Lincoln was taken to task for purchasing china for the White House during the Civil War. And Mamie Eisenhower had to shell out the salary for her personal secretary from her husband's salary.



Total Personal Staff members for other first ladies paid by taxpayers:



Mamie Eisenhower: One-- paid for personally out of President's salary..

Jackie Kennedy: One

Roseline Carter: One

Barbara Bush: One

Hilary Clinton: Three

Laura Bush: One

Michele Obama: Twenty-two





How things have changed! If you're one of the tens of millions of Americans facing certain destitution, earning less than subsistence wages stocking the shelves at Wal-Mart or serving up McDonald cheeseburgers,prepare to scream and then come to realize that the benefit package for these servants of Ms Michelle are the same as members of the national security and defense departments and the bill for these assorted lackeys is paid by YOU, John Q. Public:



Michele Obama's personal staff:



One.. $172,200 - Sher, Susan (Chief Of Staff)

Two.. $140,000 - Frye, Jocelyn C. (Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Policy And Projects For The First Lady)

Three.. $113,000 - Rogers, Desiree G. (Special Assistant to the President and White House Social Secretary for Mrs. Obama)

Four.. $102,000 - Johnston, Camille Y. (Special Assistant to the President

and Director of Communications for the First Lady)

Five.. $100,000 - Winter, Melissa (Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)

Six.. $90,000 Medina , David S. (Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)

Seven.. $84,000 - Lilyveld, Catherine M. (Director and Press Secretary to the First Lady)

Eight.. $75,000 - Starkey, Frances M. (Director of Scheduling and Advance for the First Lady)

Nine.. $70,000 - Sanders, Trooper (Deputy Director of Policy and Project for the First Lady)

Ten.. $65,000 - Burnough, Erinn (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)

Eleven.. $64,000 - Reinstein, Joseph B.(Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)

Twelve.. $62,000 - Goodman, Jennifer R. (Deputy Director of Scheduling and Events Coordinator For The First Lady)

Thirteen.. $60,000 Fitz, Alan O.(Deputy Director of Advance and Trip Director

for the First Lady)

Fourteen... $57,500 - Lewis, Dana M. (Special Assistant and Personal Aide to the First Lady)

Fifteen... $52,500 - Mustaphi, Semonti M. (Associate Director and Deputy Press Secretary To The First Lady)

Sixteen... $50,000 - Jarvis, Kristen E. (Special Assistant for Scheduling and Traveling Aide To The First Lady)

Seventeen.. $45,000 - Lechtenberg, Tyler A. (Associate Director of Correspondence For The First Lady)

Eighteen.. $43,000 - Tubman, Samanth a (Deputy Associate Director, Social Office)

Nineteen.. $40,000 - Boswell, Joseph J. (Executive Assistant to the Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)

Twenty.. $36,000 - Armbruster, Sally M. (Staff Assistant to the Social Secretary)

Twenty-One.. $35,000 - Bookey, Natalie (Staff Assistant)

Twenty-Two.. $35,000 - Jackson, Deilia A. (Deputy Associate Director of Correspondence for the First Lady)

(total $1,591,200 in annual salaries)



There has NEVER been anyone in the White House at any time who has created such an army of staffers whose sole duties are the facilitation of the First Lady's social life.



One wonders why she needs so much help, at taxpayer expense.

Note: This does not include makeup artist Ingrid Grimes-Miles, 49, and "First Hairstylist" Johnny Wright, 31, both of whom traveled aboard Air Force One to Europe ..

Yes, I know, The Canadian Free Press had to publish this, perhaps because America no longer has a free press and the USA media is too scared that they might be considered racist or suffer at the hands of Obama.



Sorry America !

True, unconditional love

"Until one has loved an animal, part of their soul remains unawakened."
Just a few of the many,many pets I've had over the years.

What the heck is going on!!

We live in a very small (7000+) town! This town and it's nearest neighbor are becoming ghost towns. Obama continues to spend taxpayer money on crap while small businesses go under at an alarming rate. I personally know of two young families, one with 5 kids and one with 3 kids that will owe large amount of income tax to the IRS this year. Both families are single wage  earner families. The new tax policies of the Obama administraion are killing young families!! The government has simply got to stop this BS. We will exceed the new debt ceiling at the end of February-then what -Congress will have to raise it again. China is getting sick of loaning us money that it doesn't look like we can repay anytime soon but Obama,Pelosi and Reid just keep spending more than we have.

This administration considers anyone making over $100,000 a year rich. Wow, that's a crock-it takes that much for a young family just to survive. These young families should not be forced to give up any more of their earnings in this so-called "wealth redistribution" scheme of the Obama administration. People who get an education and a good job through their own efforts have no obligation to share their income with anyone but their family unless they choose to voluntarily. People who choose to live off welfare or work in low paying jobs don't deserve to share in the benefits earned by these folks. Education is free to all who want it and standing on a street corner dealing drugs or belonging to a gang will not get you there. Hard work and ethics get you there.
Just remember what happened in New Orleans after Katrina. People there did nothing to help themselves but waited for the government ot come and do everything for them. The people of Mississippi, on the other hand, jumped in and got to work. You never heard them complain. It is a welfare mentality versus self sufficiency. It makes me so angry that so many have been made dependent by the policies of previous Democrat administrations,ie. The Johnson administration and his great society. The welfare state he created has taken the life out of an entire segment of our population.
Now all they can do is depend on the government to take care of them and complain that those that earn a decent wage are treating them unfairly and should give them some of it. Go out and earn it for yourselves.Make your kids stay in school and learn how to earn a living.Take some responsibility for yourselves and get back your self-respect.
