The Vilification of America By President Obama

How can it be that the President of the United State of America can get away with it?

It wasn’t to long ago, during the health care debate, that Mr. Obama made a mockery of the citizens who participated in the Tea Party rallies. Wasn’t he the one who vilified those at the Town Hall meetings?  Just ask Arlin Specter, I’m sure he will talk now after being thrown under the bus. I remember when Mr. Obama held a tea bag up, shook it with a smirk on his face, and referred to citizens of the United States as Tea Baggers.

 What as he gotten away with? Well, I’m watching the news and he is giving a speech defending those who oppose Governor Walker. How dare he! Mr. Obama had no business mocking, vilifying , ignoring and embarrassing the Oval Office by insulting those who support the Tea Party Movement, and as sure as the sun shines he has no business sticking his nose into a business of the Great State of Wisconsin. Mr. Obama, how can you tell others not to vilify when you and your cronies do it when ever citizens protest against your policies.  It seems that you talk out of both sides of your mouth.

It is apparent to me that you have low morels and scruples that while I respect the Oval Office, I have lost my respect for you! That is why I will no longer refer to you as President of the United States of America.  Remember, you work for all citizens of this country.

I Pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it Stands One Nation Under God Indivisible with Liberty and Justice for All.

I learned that in kindergarten some 42 years ago. I believe in that pledge. I believe that if you don’t believe in that pledge you are not an American and do not deserve to live in this great country. I wonder how many children can recite it today? How many of them even understand what it means?

Hidden Taxes In Obama Healthcare

Most, if not all of us have heard or read about how overwhelming the 2000 page Obama Healthcare Bill was for the elected leaders to comphend. It was reported that some didn't even read the whole Bill before voting on it. Another day in Washington, another day that politicans screwed the American People.

Now, it seems that another item contained in the Healthcare Bill has come to light. Hidden in the underbelly of the Healthcare Bill is the 3.8% tax on home sells which starts in 2013. Now some will just look the other way, and think nothing of the tax. But consider this, "Baby Boomers" will be retiring and downsizing their homes. This will have a direct impact on their retirement funds as well as other Americans.

What is really interesting, is that, they're are some in Washington that claim ignorance of this part of the Bill. I guess this goes back to their not reading the entire Bill. Ignorance is Bliss, I guess. What is really important to know is that this tax will affect all homeowners who will sell their homes after 2013. Isn't it interesting that this will go into effect after the 2012 Election?

The Tea Party had a direct impact on the recent Midterm Election. This small grassroots movement electrified Americans and for many it was a wake up call. But the work is not over. We most be ever vigilant for things that will directly impact our lives.
