Obamacare Headed for Life Support – But Only WE can Kill It!

Obamacare is on its way to the U.S. Supreme Court. The administration has passed on an opportunity to ask an Alabama court for further review after the court agreed with 26 states that the bill was unconstitutional.

That means, when the Supreme Court goes into session in October, Obamacare will be on the docket and chances are the case will be heard before the end of this year with a decision coming probably next summer in the heat of the 2012 presidential campaign.

That’s NOT the big news surrounding Obamacare however.

This is one of those good news/bad news things – and before we get to the bad news, the really disturbing news, we should look at the ramifications of the decision at hand.

We Were Americans Once

I remember a time, it wasn’t so long ago, when a touchdown was scored, back patting, helmet slapping, jumping up and down and high fives were expected. Yes, even in high school. It was a score and it was exciting and the players were elated.

A while back, in a high school game, a player scored, dropped to one knee and pointed toward the night sky.  He was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct and his team assessed a 15-yard penalty on the kickoff.

Unsportsmanlike conduct  for recognizing God. I’m not sure when taking a knee in the end zone and pointing to the heavens became unsportsmanlike but I do know this…

We were Americans once.

Doing the U.N. Two Step

In his speech before the U.N. General Assembly this morning, President Obama managed to dance around the truth over and over again. It should come as no surprise that his inferences were more striking than his words.

In several parts of his address, Obama stroked the U.N.,  inferring it is the only entity upon which the world can depend to bring about world peace. Obama said, that to achieve world peace, “We must return to the wisdom of those who created this institution.”

Several times, Obama patted the U.N. on the back for their actions over the past year. He stroked them for their actions in Libya, in Egypt and other parts of the world. While he didn’t come right out and state it, the inference was that the U.N. should be the go-to entity for all international issues.

For those “cynical” enough to believe Obama wants to promote a One World Government or a New World Order, his address this morning will no doubt add fuel to the fire. For critics of the cynics to dismiss the cynics will take the willful ignoring of yet more red flags.

Beware of Presidents Wearing False Yarmulkes

This week, with a major U.N. assembly taking place, there seems to be a great deal of behind the scenes scrambling to prevent Palestinian statehood. Scrambling is the key word. Why exactly are we scrambling? Should we not have taken the steps we now scramble to take months ago?

The scrambling is to form a multi-nation block of statehood for Palestine so that the U.S. does not stand alone in the U.N. Security Council in opposition to Palestinian statehood.

This should have been a done deal a long, long time ago but that isn’t the case. It seems that Obama promised Palestinian Authority leader Abbas that Palestine would indeed gain recognition and statehood upon which now, Obama seems to have reversed course.

Obama’s Economic Plan is Pure Genius!!

Yesterday, on the Sunday talking heads shows from one end of the channel spectrum to the other, Republicans lined up to tell us how the Obama plan, to be revealed today, is “Class Warfare.” At first blush, I admit that it looks like class warfare – but with sincere apologies to the likes of Karl Rove and Paul Ryan, They couldn’t be more wrong.

Today, Obama will unveil the latest segment of his plan to fix everything from unemployment and a tanked economy to the deficit and the heartbreak of psoriasis.

It’s not class warfare.

It’s a domestic kinetic action.

Obama, on the heels of announcing the$450 billion dollar American Jobs Act, which he said was completely paid for, will finally tell us HOW he intends to pay for it.

Tax hikes.

Well, don’t think of it as tax hikes…Think of it instead, as New Revenue.

Obama, Solyndra and the Spastic Monkey Approach to Lying

As the Solyndra scandal hit the news a couple of weeks ago, the Obama administration obviously knew that they were in trouble. With Obama’s polling figures sinking already, the economy in the tank, the first downgrade in our nation’s history having just been handed down, unemployment still high and for the first time in decades, a month in which not a single new job had been created, Obama could not afford a hit like Solyndra.

Obama, his administration and liberals in general have, once again, resorted to a worn out strategy.

Blame Bush.

Mt. Obama is Rumbling

As conservatives, there is a question to which we must seek an answer. Have we been wasting our time trying to bring down this current administration? Liberals will no doubt believe we’ve seen the light if we answer yes and a chorus of “I told you so” will ring loudly from the left.

So, HAVE we been wasting time and effort? It would seem that maybe…MAYBE we have. Happy liberals rejoice.

Ummm…not so fast.

We MAY have been wasting our time because it is now beginning to seem like we didn’t need to help. This administration is starting to bring itself down, crumbling before our eyes, imploding. Stand back…the debris field is gonna be huge!

Obama’s Pandering Puppet Act

Last night’s “American Jobs Act” speech by Obama was THE most transparently obvious reelection campaign example of political pandering I have ever witnessed.

We all wondered why he decided to present this bill to a joint session of congress and why the nationally televised broadcast? Such things are State of the Union or declaration of war moments…not economic policy moments.

The answer revealed itself throughout the speech last night.

To fully understand it, one must think back a few weeks, to shortly before the Martha’s Vineyard vacation.

Unions.

Unions were talking openly about withdrawing their heavy support of Obama for 2012. Unions were upset, thinking this administration had turned away from them in Wisconsin, Ohio and elsewhere. Unions felt that Obama wasn’t doing enough to defend their tactics.

Giving Obama His Due Respect!!

Never has such an anticipated speech by a President been so completely forgettable before it’s even been presented. Obama will deliver his great jobs speech before a joint session of congress and while liberals will no doubt stand and applaud at every little thing and will cheer each at every spending measure Obama announces, the response will be silent and that silence will be deafening!!

Republicans expect so little from this ballyhooed speech that they have already decided not to even offer a rebuttal.

Nancy Pelosi, deposed from the speaker’s chair last November is not happy about it either. Nancy has her former speaker’s panties all wadded up as she has let it be known that such a non rebuttal is an affront to the President.

Oh my.

Presidents speak before a joint session of congress for the State of the Union or if they want to wage war. Outside of that, such a speech is rarely given especially on matters of domestic economics.

Obama Takes Another Swing

So, Obama has finally set the time and place for his big economic plan speech and wouldn’t ya know it, was going to be on the same night and at the same time as a republican candidate’s debate. Oh, he said it was just a coincidence of scheduling and certainly not, as some in the media and around the blogesphere believed, a direct sign of disrespect and a transparent political move.

Of course it wasn’t – but  Boehner said no way, due to “security” reasons, and now it’s been reset for Thursday evening September 8th where it will compete against the opening night of the NFL.

Now, those in the media and on various blogs are all talking about how Obama blinked and the republicans got their way and they are comparing this upcoming speech to his speech to rally support for Obamacare because THAT speech ALSO took place before a joint session of congress.

They’re missing the true point of this whole thing.
