OBA-MAO PART I

 

The Chinese clearly love and honor Mao Zedong or so they say.  In the meantime, the Chinese government is banning the sales of these t-shirts during Obama’s stay in China.  Do I detect an act of hypocrisy here?

 

 

TIME TO BE HEARD: Black Conservatives in America

Today’s Glenn Beck show debunks the myth that all African Americans are Democrats and that we all voted for Barack Hussein Obama.  It also touches on the madness experienced by those of us in the African American community who do not prescribe to plantation politics dispatched by the Democratic Party and intended to keep African Americans down and out, not to mention the dumbing down of our children in a school system that is all about the indoctrination of young minds.

 

 

 

 

 

Shout out to Glenn Beck for going there.

 

OBAMA EVADES QUESTION ABOUT U.S. BOMBING OF HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI

 

Until today, each time Obama has traveled outside of the United States, he has apologized for the United States, throwing us all under the bus.  Therefore, I would prefer that he duck the question rather than apologize yet again for the decisions of America.

Secondly, we can most certainly do without Obama giving replies that make him look soft and weak.

 

Democrat Ex-Congressman William Jefferson Sentenced To 13 Years in Prison

Another dirty beaurocrat goes to prison. Democrats want to prescribe to everyone how to live as they tax the rich and middle class into submission.  They, however, are the exception to the rules choosing to skip out on paying their taxes and/or amass illegal income as in Jefferson’s case, $90,000 in a freezer.  This grimy Democrat deserves his fate. 

Time for justice to prevail.  Charles Rangel must be the next to go along with all of the thugs in the current administration. 

In lieu of Jefferson’s conviction, he should be forced to forfeit his pension.  Anything less even with jail time is a slap on the wrist.

“Former Louisiana congressman William Jefferson was sentenced to 13 years in prison Friday for bribery schemes that featured a freezer full of alleged bribe money stuffed in veggie burger boxes.

A federal judge in Alexandria, Va., handed down the sentence to Jefferson, 62, a Democrat whom voters ousted last year. He was convicted of bribery, money laundering and racketeering in schemes that prosecutors said he devised to enrich himself and his family. Click here for earlier LB coverage of the Jefferson saga; here for the Justice Department’s press release.

Prosecutors asked for at least 27 years for Jefferson, a sentence that likely would have amounted to a life sentence and one that defense attorneys called unprecedented. In seeking leniency defense attorneys pointed out that Jefferson had ascended from humble beginnings to “the nation’s finest educational institutions and its highest corridors of power.”

Defense attorneys, who hoped for less than 10 years for Jefferson, have said they would appeal.

Jefferson’s seven-week trial included video and audio tapes of him meeting with a federal informant at Washington D.C. hotel restaurants. Prosecutors said he used his congressional status to concoct schemes that would help pay college tuition for his daughters. Jefferson served on a trade subcommittee and is alleged to have shaken down businessmen who came to his office seeking help with African deals.

Defense attorneys portrayed Jefferson as possibly unethical but not a criminal and said he was a victim of an over-aggressive prosecution aimed at ‘bagging a congressman.’ They said Jefferson was entrapped by investigators who wired the informant to try to nab him.”

 

Greta interviews John Bolton over Obama and Afghan Troop Decision

Something has got to give.  The dithering has gone on too long.  The time has passed weeks ago for Obama to pay the fare or get off the bus.  The morale and the lives of our troops depend on it not to mention the reputation of the United States.  Oh yes and let us not forget the people of Afghanistan who are caught up in this madness. 

I swear I have never known anyone on the planet to dither as much or as long as Barack Obama.  Enough already!  Do your job Mr. President NOW!!!!

 

Rep. Mike Says ‘No’ To Obama On Health Care

The following article is posted in today’s New York Post.  I commend Representative McMahon for not taking the easy way out.  Rep. McMahon is one of the few politicians who actually put the interests of the constituents in their district FIRST instead of feeding them a load of malarkey.

There are representatives in communities surrounding that of Representative McMahon’s who have hospitals in their districts that are in economic distress and whose constituents, i.e., the poor, middle class, seniors and the physically impaired will suffer immensely under the passage of this flawed healthcare legislation.  Yet, each and every one of these representatives continues to lie to their constituents while not one of them has read the bill.

These representatives have forgotten that they work for us.  This is one constituent whose vote shall reflect that fact.  I am taking notes and keeping track.

Edolpus Towns leads the pack.

NEW YORK POST

“Freshman Rep. Mike McMahon (D–Bay Ridge) was one of only two Democrats in the state to vote against the House health care reform bill. In doing so, McMahon joined 22 Southern Dems and scores of Republicans. But McMahon says his ‘no’ vote doesn’t mean he’s against health care reform — just this health care reform. Clearly, it was time for another installment of ‘McMahon on Line 1.’

Brooklyn Paper: So, it’s you, an upstate conservative, a bunch of Southern yahoos and most of the Republican Party on this. Is that really the company you want to be keeping on health care reform?

Mike McMahon: For me, this vote came down to what is best for the people who sent me to Washington. I promised to be independent, and, in my opinion, this bill would be detrimental to the hospitals in my district. Each one would lose $25 million in disproportionate share hospital funding.

BP: Come on. Now you’re just making things up. What’s that?

MM: It’s the rate at which they’re compensated for uninsured and undocumented patients. Hospitals in my district would really suffer because they have high numbers of such patients.

BP: But so would hospitals in neighboring congressional districts in Brooklyn — yet all those members of Congress voted for the bill.

MM: You’d have to ask them why.

BP: We have. They say they support reform.

MM: So do I. But this bill would also hurt seniors, who would lose critical Medicare benefits. And small businesses, which are the main economic engines in my district, would see tax increases. And this bill has no clamp on increasing premiums. Insurance companies would drive up premiums to cover the cost of covering more people.

BP: That’s not in the bill. That’s just your assumption.

MM: It is my expectation, yes. We’re still waiting a report by the Congressional Budget Office, but most experts feel that because of the increase in coverage, the increase in mandates and the lack of any cost controls, the insurance companies would raise rates.

BP: You mentioned seniors. Why does this bill hurt them?

MM: Because they would lose their Medicare Advantage, which 35-40 percent of the seniors in my district use.

BP: But high numbers of seniors in other districts use that, too, yet their congressmen voted for the bill.

MM: Again, you’d have to ask those members.

BP: Where are you on the public option now? You’ve been iffy on it.

MM: I’m not opposed to the public option, but it’s not the way to cut costs. Remember: you can’t take the public option if your employer covers you currently. So how does an option offered to 10 million people cut down costs for everyone else? You could drive down costs with an independent board that could set rates. That’s in one of the Senate bills, but not the House bill.

BP: OK, so what does Mike McMahon want?

MM: We need to set the right inflection point for health care. The House bill would send it in the wrong direction. It would increase costs without controls over health care system. And it would be a heavy pressure on the national debt. We need to expand coverage, but we need to control costs to the government. In the House bill, for example, there’s no bundling [a payment system that reimburses hospitals for the entire treatment, not one service at a time]. There’s no incentive to get off the fee-for-service system. What you want is performance-based payments, outcome-based payments.

BP: So Mike McMahon wants reform, even though he voted against the House bill.

MM: Yes, but the current bill would not do it.

BP: Man, you must have been under a lot of pressure to vote with the president?

MM: He called me. And the vice president called me.

BP: Biden, whatever. But what’s it like to get that call from the president? Is it really, ‘Congressman, hold on one second for the president’ like in the movies?

MM: Yes, it is. And it’s a bit unnerving. But we had a very serious talk about the bill. I told him that my decision was easy because the bill is not good for the people who sent me to represent them. And at the end, he said, ‘Mike, I can see that you’ve really thought this through, and I respect that.’

BP: You said no to a Democratic president on the central pillar of his agenda.

MM: Well, you know the Chinese proverb: May we live in interesting times.

BP: Proverb? It’s a curse, congressman!

MM: Now you tell me.”

 

Senator Nelson (D-NE) “It’ll never get here.”

 

 

May politicians like Senator Nelson hold their ground and don’t give in the greed or special interests thereby selling their constituents out like so many others have before them.
