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.

P-BO Makes George Bush Look Like a Mensa Genius

Posted by: The BoBo  //  Category: America, Congress, Conservative, Democrats, Elections, Idiots, Liberals, P-BO, Politics, government

Did anybody else catch the Stephanopolous interview with Obama?  Here’s what P-BO said with regards to the Scott Brown win:

“Here’s my assessment of not just the vote in Massachusetts, but the mood around the country: the same thing that swept Scott Brown into office swept me into office…People are angry and they are frustrated. Not just because of what’s happened in the last year or two years, but what’s happened over the last eight years.”

WTF, man?  Is P-BO really that much of an idiot or is he just in complete denial – or could it be both?  He seriously is blaming anger for Bush for the massive voter turn out to the Republican.  How does that even make sense?  Does he really think voters and the American people are that stupid?

“Hey, Frank.  You know what?  I’m so pissed off that the Republicans screwed up this country over the past 8 years that I’m gonna show them – I’m going to vote another Republican back in so the Democrats can’t control Congress any more – duh her!”

Either Obama is the most inept individual who ever sat in that seat – or – he’s just so blinded and focused on his agenda and this hate Bush message that he can’t see America for what it really is and for the massive revolt that is happening.  I know the Liberals hate to admit it – but – Congress has been in control of the direction of this economy since 2007.  This economy was actually doing quite well when the Republicans were in the majority.  There were some very serious warning signs and every Republican from Bush, to McCain, to Boehner, and on and on were trying several times to warn Congress and the people that trouble was brewing in Fannie and Freddy.  It was Barney Franks and Chris Dodd who refused to open up the books and reform Fannie and Freddy stating everything is fine there.  Republicans were standing on the mountain tops yelling that the CRA and Fannie and Freddie will cause an economic turndown if it wasn’t fixed.  The warning signs were there and the Democrats did absolutely nothing.  The Democrats were in control when this economy melted down.  The liberal policies that they pushed over the last 2 years is what caused this mess.  The power hungry mindset of the Democrats and the refusal to listen to the other side is what caused this mess.  Obama was part of that problem.  Obama too refused to allow a complete investigation of Fannie and Freddy.  Perhaps that’s because Gaine’s is one of his closest friends and allies.  The Democrats and their idiotic anti-capitalist liberal policies is what caused this economic collapse – and – we the people know the truth.  We know it isn’t Bush’s fault.  We know you Democrats caused it by not addressing the issue.  Rather, you continued to cover up the problem.  Obama – hear me now – we are not angry over the last 8 years – we are angry over the last 2 years – and especially after the last 1 year with out of control spending and increased debt.

Somehow, he honestly has to believe that the reason why the Independents voted for Brown was because they thought Obama hasn’t done enough, meaning, he’s going to continue to push forward with his radical agenda to “fundamentally transform this country.”  According to this latest article – that is exactly what he intends to do.  Apparently, he didn’t get the message – and – apparently, America didn’t shout it loud enough in Massachusetts!  We’re going to have to make damned sure in November that there is no way he can misread that message.  We need to send THEM ALL packing.  Every Democrat – Every Liberal RINO – Every politician who has ever voted against the American people – they all need to go.

Just a real quick refresher for those of you that truly do not understand how government works – the POTUS does not write the bills.  The POTUS does not create the budgets.  The POTUS does not control the nation’s treasury.  Congress controls all of that.  The POTUS signs off or vetoes the bills.  All he can do is ask Congress to do one or all of the above – but – he has no control as to what is actually written and presented to him for his signature.  His only control is to approve or deny.  So – the blame for this mess lies squarely with Congress – not Bush.  Congress in the last years never did a thing to send a bill or allow an investigation as Bush asked.  Don’t blame Bush because the Dems in control failed to act as requested by Republicans and Bush.

American taxpayers getting scalped!

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

Well – it looks like the Obama administration is planning on paying out $3.5 Billion in taxpayer money to the native American indians. Apparently, there was a class action lawsuit filed in 1996 stating that

“the government mismanaged billions of dollars in oil, gas, grazing, timber and other royalties overseen by the Interior for Indian trustees since 1887″

Umm…so freakin’ what? If that is the case, then where the hell is MY money?  Where the hell is the money owed to the rest of the taxpaying citizenry of this country?  The federal government has been mismanaging our tax dollars forever.

I don’t really give a shit that the freakin’ native Indians feel the administration has mismanaged their funds.  Fuck you all.  I’m sick and tired of paying for shit that happened hundreds of years ago in this country.  That is all that this is – this is just as Van Jones requested – “Give them the money” when referring to the Indians and indiscretions that happened 400 hundred freakin years ago!

If Congress authorizes this payment – this is setting a precedent for the rest of the country.  If the native American Indians have a claim for money based on federal government mismanagement of funds – then that means that every tax payer in this country also has a claim against this government.  We have been paying $billions in to Medicare and Social Security for 40+ years and both will be insolvent within 10 – 15 years.  Paying out money for unemployment, welfare, Medicaid, and any other social charity is a gross mismanagement of our tax dollars. Paying out grants for scientists to study alcoholism in Brazilian prostitutes is a gross mismanagement of our money.  Paying $22.6 million to global warming terrorists to perpetrate a hoax on the world is a gross mismanagement of our money.  Every damned wasteful earmark and spending package in the history of this country has been a mismanagement of our funds!

PUTTING THIS COUNTRY $1.4 TRILLION IN DEBT AND RAISING THE CEILING TO $1.8 TRILLION is a gross mismanagement of our funds!

If the Indians get their money by scalping the white man once again – then – fuck you all – I want my money back too!

Hey, P-BO- make a damned decision already!

Posted by: The BoBo  //  Category: America, P-BO, Politics, President, Soldiers, Terrorists, Troops

I saw this on The Drudge Report:

Grieving Family Sends Message to Obama – go check out the video

Then there is this report:

Army says morale down among troops in Afghanistan

Last year I put up this post:

Support Our Troop! BRING THEM HOME!

That post was about the idiocy of those left-wing nutjobs using that slogan.  It was about how such slogans actually are detrimental to our service members and to the missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. When these wars in Iraq and Afghanistan broke out, I fully supported them – 100%.  I am still in support of the mission – to kill the damned terrorists and pay retribution for the thousands of lives lost on 9/11.  However, my patience has worn very thin over the past few months.

It was reported that in August General McCrystal sent a request to Obama for an additional 40,000 troops in Afghanistan.  That extra 40,000 troops would be needed in order to complete a successful mission – one that would mean victory in Afghanistan.  One that would help to re-stabilize the region again so that the Afghanistan government could take over security as we did in Iraq.

Instead – P-BO has sat on that report for 3 months now.  He only just this week sat down with his security council on Afghanistan – and – he rejected every single proposal out there – including sending more troops.  Let’s face it – P-BO is indecisive.  He can’t make the tough decisions.  In the time that the request was first made 43 American soldiers have died in Afghanistan waiting for Obama to make a freakin’ decision. That is almost 15 per month.

I am now at a point myself where I am ready to say – Bring Them Home!  Damn it – either give the generals – who actually know how to fight and win a war – all the troops, equipment, and support necessary to win this war and bring our soldiers home in victory – or – just call it quits and bring them all home before more of them die senseless deaths because Obama refuses to make a decision – a hard decision.

The bullshit response coming from the White House and Obama is “Obama won’t be rushed on Afghanistan war.“  What the fuck man?  You campaigned on changing the strategy to focus the efforts from Iraq to Afghanistan.  You’ve been in office for 10 months now.  You hand-picked and placed McCrystal in there yourself about 5 months ago.  What the fuck does this even mean – you won’t be rushed?  How much longer do you need in order to make a decision – one that every day you wait – more Americans are being killed on the battlefield because you won’t follow the advise of the man you chose to assess the situation and make a recommendation?  He gave you that recommendation 3 months ago!!!!

Do you not understand what kind of message this indecisiveness is sending to the rest of the world?  That message is – America is weak – and the President is even weaker.

For crying out loud man, either give the general what he needs to win – or Bring Our Troops Home. Quit playing politics with the lives of our service members.  You alone are turning the Afghanistan war in to another Viet Nam debacle.

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?
