Warning! Obama more determined than ever to pass Obamacare

Posted by: The BoBo  //  Category: Congress, Democrats, Obama, P-BO, Politics, health care, progressives

Apparently, the political elite progressives in D.C. think they are smarter than WE THE PEOPLE and we just  don’t understand anything.  Apparently, they believe we are too stupid to understand they are doing what is best for WE THE PEOPLE and that we just don’t get it.  Apparently, those idiots don’t understand that 65% of this country have shouted from the tops of our lungs to stay away from our health insurance.

I am on Obama’s Organizing for America e-mail list.  This is the e-mail I received on Saturday – just one day after he publicly announced that health reform is dead on the hill.

An alarming new study shows that health care costs increased last year at the fastest rate in more than a half century.

Health care spending rose to an estimated $2.5 trillion in 2009, or $8,047 per person — and is now projected to nearly double by 2019. If we don’t act, this growing burden will mean more lost jobs, more families pushed into bankruptcy, and more crushing debt for our nation.

The conclusion is clear: This isn’t a problem we can kick down the road for another decade — or even another year. We need to pass health reform now.

First, the most obvious thing in this e-mail is it does no provide the citation of this “new study.”  Second, the reason that health care spending is on the rise is due to Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP. Private sector spending is 55% of total spending (this includes private insurance and self-pay).  Right now, government spending on health care is 6.7% of GDP and it is expected (without factoring in for this bullshit bill) government spending on healthcare will increase to 18.2% of GDP by 2050.  We’re seeing the effects of that now.  Private sector spending will decrease while government sector increases.  These tactics by the progressives are nothing but fear mongering.  Government run healthcare continues to increase because of fraud, waste, and abuse.  Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP lose $100’s of billions every year due mostly to fraud.  Healthcare fraud in the government run system is so prolific that organized crime is now involved – that alone is a $60 billion/year industry.  You don’t see this in private sector health care because private insurers employ resources that actually search out and combat this kind of fraud.

Despite our pleas with the government to stop – and despite the fact the GOP is taking Democrat seats left and right and are poised to completely take control of Congress in November – Obama came out saying this yesterday

“Just in case there’s any confusion out there, let me be clear. I am not going to walk away from health insurance reform,” Obama said, in one of his most feisty speeches since his 2008 election campaign.

“I’m not going to walk away from the American people. I’m not going to walk away on this challenge. I’m not going to walk away on any challenge.’

I guess we’re just too stupid to take care of ourselves and this idiot President is going to keep drilling it in our heads until we finally get it.  Well – we’re up to his challenge also.  I say – bring it on idiot – this will seal the doom for the progressives once and for all.

Those DAMNED obstructionist Republicans!!!

Posted by: The BoBo  //  Category: Congress, Democrats, Obama, Politics, Republicans, government

This is going to be a very short and simple post because I’m getting tired of seeing Democrat political hacks in this administration blaming “obstructionist” Republicans from preventing Obama from getting his agenda items passed.  I am no way a Republican supporter – I am not a registered Republican.  However, I think the record needs to be set straight.  We’ll let the facts speak for themselves:

Number of Total Senators = 100

Number of Democrat Senators = 58

Number of Republican Senators= 40

Number of Independent Senators = 2 (Both caucus with Democrats).

Number of votes needed to pass ANY legislation = 51

Can someone please tell me how the Republicans are obstructing anything?  Even with Scott Brown coming in – that will give the Republicans 41 votes and the Democrats 57 (not including the Independents).  The Republicans could not mount any kind of defense of any freakin bill.  So – how exactly is it that the Republicans are blocking passage of any bills in the Senate?

Total Number of Representatives in The House – 435

Total Number of Democrat Representatives = 256

Total Number of Republican Representatives – 178

Total Number of Independent Representatives = 0

There is currently 1 vacant seat.

Number of votes needed to pass ANY Legislation (51%) = 222

Again – even in the House – they have 34 more people than is required to pass legislation.  Again, the Republicans don’t have enough to mount a defense against any bill.

Between the House and The Senate – They are both controlled by a large enough majority that any bill written could be passed without a single Republican vote.  The Republicans can essentially stay at home for all of 2010 and twiddle their thumbs.  They had no power in 2009 – the have no power in 2010.  All Scott Brown will do now is enable the Republicans to mount a filibuster.  That just means that Harry Reid can no longer shut down debate whenever he feels like it.  You need 60 votes to shut down debate.  Filibusters eventually end – and – in the end – the Democrats will still have enough votes on their own without Republicans to pass whatever the hell they want.

Before you moonbats on the left start declaring Republicans as “The Party of No” and “obstructionists” I suggest you look to the Democratic party itself.  The only one’s obstructing Obama’s agenda are Democrats.  The reason they keep looking to the Republicans and blaming them is because the Democrats don’t want to be the only one’s caught holding the bag when this house of cards coming falling down.  They want to be able to point at the Republicans and say “They voted for it too!”  The Democrats own every piece of legislation passed in this country since 2007.  They and they alone are responsible for the total destruction of this economy because of their policies.  They and they alone have the majority vote without Republicans.

You see – we’re awake now – and – we know who is to blame.  Sure, Republicans are scumbags too – that’s why they are no longer in power – but – now we see who the BIGGEST scumbags are – progressive democrats that hate this country and the individual liberty and freedom it affords us.  Democrats and Obama own this mess.  Stop blaming Bush and the Republicans – they haven’t been able to mount any kind of defense in the last 4 years.

Obama does in 1 year what took Bush 8 years to accomplish!

Posted by: The BoBo  //  Category: A Nation at Risk, America, Obama, P-BO, government

When Bush entered office in 2001 – the national “on-the-books” public debt was $5.7 Trillion (don’t buy in to that bogus lie that Clinton left a surplus – we were still in debt).  When he left in 2009 – the national “on-the-books” public debt was $10.0 Trillion. The Bush administration pumped up spending and the national debt by $4.3 Trillion!!

So – Obama comes in with a $10.0 Trillion national debt – as of today – those figures stand at:

Figures on government spending and debt (last six digits are eliminated). The
government's fiscal year runs Oct. 1 through Sept. 30.
Total public debt subject to limit Jan. 22		12,245,872
Statutory debt limit					12,394,000
Total public debt outstanding Jan. 22			12,302,465
Operating balance Jan. 22				   142,454
Interest fiscal year 2009				   383,365
Interest fiscal year 2008				   451,154
Deficit fiscal year 2009				 1,417,121
Deficit fiscal year 2008				   454,798
Receipts fiscal year 2009				 2,104,613
Receipts fiscal year 2008				 2,523,642
Outlays fiscal year 2009				 3,521,734
Outlays fiscal year 2008				 2,978,440
Gold assets in September				    11,041

Yup – $12.3 Trillion – AND – They are raising the debt ceiling by another $1.9 Trillion – that money is already spent – that’s why they need to raise the ceiling.  Obama – in one year – has increased the national debt by $4.2 Trillion!!  It took Bush – 8 freakin’ years to spend this economy in to dangerous territory.  Obama has taken only 1 year to spend the same amount that will no doubt bankrupt America.

Take a close look at those numbers up there.  Total Revenue in 2009 is $2.1 Trillion.  The national debt (as reported up there) is 6x our total revenues – and will be 7x our total revenue once they raise the ceiling.  This is totally unsustainable.  The fact of the matter is – our REAL national debt is (as of May 2009) is $70 Trillion.  That is 35x our total revenues.  No telling at this point how high that number actually is today.  It hasn’t been published anywhere yet.

Whether you are on the left, right, or middle of the political spectrum – you have to wake up and realize this is unsustainable and our country is headed for a real nightmare.  There are more foreign countries who own American land and public debt than there are American owners now.  Our crooked politicians have mortgaged our country to foreigners – and – no doubt – they will be sending in the collectors soon.

I know you guys on the left love this country and the freedoms it affords you – but – you must beg your government to stop spending now and shut off the spigot.  They need to reduce the size of government immediately and start shutting down entire departments and wasteful entitlement programs that are already unconstitutional.  If Obama can do this in just one year – what do you think he can accomplish with 3 more years?  A total destruction of this country and our economy.

I’m calling on all Americans to come out November and vote out all of the incumbents and let’s begin the reset of our government.  Then – let’s do it again in 2012 and finally rid our government of all those corrupt power-hungry politicians that care only for themselves.  We need a total reset of our government with new, fresh blood, consisting of representatives who will do the right thing, listen to we the people, and take very practical and pragmatic steps to reduce the size of government and stop the idiotic spending we have going on now. We are in a world of hurt if we the people don’t take action now and take our country back.

Obama admits he is a Muslim

Posted by: The BoBo  //  Category: A Nation at Risk, Islamofascists, Obama, P-BO, Politics

h/t to Mitchel Morey

Watch and be amazed – funny how we never saw any of  these clips in the media over here or heard them on the radio.  Who do you think P-BO has allegiance to, America or Islam?

He won what? Yeah, right! The Peace Prize? What’s the punch line?

Posted by: The BoBo  //  Category: America, Obama, P-BO, Politics, President, awards

You have got to be fucking kidding me!  When I first heard this morning, I thought it was a joke.  I thought there was going to be a punchline.  What in the hell has P-BO done to deserve the Nobel Peace Prize?

All you loons on the left, I want you to really think this through – here is a short list of past Nobel Peace Prize recipients:

In the nine months that P-BO came in office, North Korea has moved closer to nuclear weapons, Iran has moved closer to nuclear weapons, we are still at war in Afghanistan, we are still at war in Iraq, Gitmo is still open, we are still at war with terrorists in our country and around the world, Russia still occupies Georgie..and on and on and on. It seems to me that the world has become more dangerous because of P-BO.

All P-BO has done so far is gone around the entire world apologizing and telling the world that America sucks.  To give him the Nobel Peace Prize – the most prestigious award known to man – is an absolute joke.  Giving this prize to him has completely devalued the award. But, then again, when I look at this list – what I have provided shows that out of the last 20 years, 10 awards were obviously given out as jokes.

The citation on his award states:

“for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples”

What?  So, I guess if you go around telling the world that America sucks you can get this award?  Guess what – after seeing him and the others I listed – who would want to be a recipient of this award knowing it has become an absolute joke since the 1990’s.

Simply Awesome – Jack Webb Schools Obama

Posted by: The BoBo  //  Category: America, Obama, P-BO

h/t to Jan for sending this to me.  I am old enough to remember these Dragnet shows.  When I’m feeling somewhat nostalgic – I’ll tune in to Nick at Night and watch some of these reruns.  In any case, this is a great video – Obama being schooled by Jack Webb on the great virtues of this country.  So appropriate.  Enjoy and pass around
