The Traitors Eight

I guess I’m considering this a Public Service Announcement.

The passing of the Cap & Trade bill through the House was the first step in the continuing effort of the Democrat controlled Congress to tear down this great nation and move us closer to the Fascist Socialist nation they wish us to be, despite the hard work of scores of citizens contacting their representatives in Washington.

There are eight Republicans I wish to personally thank for taking up ranks with the Left and assisting with the passage. You have turned your back on the American People!

The Separation Of You And Your Money

“Any American, whose income is under $250 thousand, will not see one dime of increased taxes!” repeated Obama throughout his campaign for the presidency. To this I say, oh reeeeallly!

Obama isn’t just going after the money of the rich and famous, he’s reaching into the wallets, purses and pockets of every single one of us, unless, you happen to fall into one of his favorite groups of people. Oh yes, he threw us the pathetic excuse of a tax break on our payroll withholding of a whole six dollars a week in our paychecks (on average). However, in my case, my insurance premiums went up that exact same time by six dollars a week. No break here. Next he hit on something else partake in, yes I know and I don’t want to hear about it, my cigarettes. BOOM! lets jack the tax on smokes some more. I don’t know about you, but I know many people who struggle to survive from week to week, earning substantially less than $250k, and still buy their smokes. Unlike Obama, who lives in government housing and eats government funded meals while still earning a very comfortable income, can buy his smokes without the extra tax cutting into his household budget, while cutting into ours.

The Obama, Fox News Relationship.

Posted in My Thoughts  by Eric Lagesten

On May 8, 2009, at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Barack Obama speaks “seriously” about the job done by the media in holding Washington “accountable” by asking the “questions” and reporting the “truth”. Six weeks later at the Radio & Television Correspondents Dinner, June 19, 2009, Obama again thanks the media. “In all seriousness, despite … uh … the jokes I’ve told, … uh … I’m here tonight because I appreciate all the work that you do and the roll that you play. You report the news as it happens and history as it’s made” said Obama. “You bring the truth to the people and allow people to bring the truth to the world.”

So, if it is so seemingly apparent that Obama looks to the media to do its job and report the truth, why is it that he constantly attacks Fox News for doing their job? Is it not the job of the media to help inform citizens of what is really going on? Yes, it is true that Fox News asks the tough questions. Yes, it is true that Fox News does the research and reports the facts. Unlike the Main Stream Media, Fox News isn’t on the “Obama Can Do No Wrong” band wagon.
