do NOT say that about " mothership" PLEASE. Farrakhan , an american muslim who supports Obama as the actual "Saviour " believes he ( Farrakhan ) has been in a mother ship and that there is a HUGE mothership circling our sun waiting to overcome all that is and take power over our planet ( for islam of course ).... he has also stated he believes that at all times there are constantly at least sixty tiny silver spaceships ( he has a video about this on youtube ) circling his head ...
So .. let us aim for Allen West in 2016 then eh? See what he stands for in America and you will see why I want vote for him later.
Anyway, I stated above that I can't vote. If you believe that Allan West can do a good job, then vote for him. If he gets in and does a good job, even better. Either way, it's really not my business yet.
The young will pay so much more in taxes just to pay everyone's FREE STUFF.
The last thing i need is to be reminded of how l'm going to have to sell my soul just to get a house, a job.
This article is not an argument so much about Obamacare itself, by the way; it's a red alert about a fundamental loss of economic freedom -- a shifting of private purchasing decisions to Washington D.C. Now, buoyed by the passage of Obamacare, the U.S. government can (and will) create new mandates that, for example, would force Americans to buy all the following:
• A new car each year from Detroit, in order to "boost the U.S. auto industry."
• War bonds to "support the war effort."
• A year's supply of vaccines.
• Life insurance from the government's "approved" sources.
• Lawn fertilizer (the "lawn health care mandate").
• Intellectual property such as patented human genes already in your body.
This is crushing, the man is not good, he has lied his way in, and he keeps lying.......
This is not health care, its taxing, controlling, robbing the American people.
I'm no Obama fan, but going back to the policies that got us into this mess won't help anything. He wants 'austerity', look how well it's working in Europe; their GDP is down 2.8 pct and ours is up 3.8 pct. nothing to rave about, but it's at least on the plus side.
The Eurozone went the 'austerity' route that Romney wants, and their GDP dropped 2.8 pct. last quarter, ours rose 3.8 pct. we're( slowly) adding jobs and unemployment in most European countries is at least 3 times ours and rising. That may be what you want, not me. I don't like a lot of Obama's policies, but Romney would be an economic and social disaster.
The day the democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was actually January 3rd 2007 the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress. The Democrat Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.
For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is "Bush's Fault", think about this:
January 3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress. At the time:
The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.7.
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB GROWTH
Remember the day...January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.
The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!
Unemployment... to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans...

Unemployment... to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!
Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy.
And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? OBAMA
And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie?
OBAMA and the Democrat Congress
So when someone tries to blame Bush..
REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007.... THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!"
Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat Party.
Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 & 2009 as well as 2010 &2011.
In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.
For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budgets.
And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009.
If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.
If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself. In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.
The only way that we can save it now if certain Holy Than Thou people pull their heads out of the sanctimonious butts and vote for the one who stands a chance against obama.
Wake up People!!!!!! Our government has declared war against us.
