We chose “Dr. Liar” because Obama keeps telling people how good his medicine will be for American’s but the devil (not Rahm Emanuel) are in the details and who is really voting yes, no and what health care bill really exists.
Obama is once again traveling around the country speaking to packed auditoriums with planted crowds who applaud and cheer telling us all he would like to have is an up or down vote for the health care proposals but Mr. Obama doesn’t have the votes in the House and only one piece of legislation actually exists and that is the Senate bill.
Mr. Obama is telling his fan base and indirectly the American people the fixes are all in for problems of cost cutting but that just isn’t true. Everything in the Obamacare bill either raise spending or reduces revenue and that combination only increases debt. Without House legislation the Congressional Budget Office has nothing to score so Obama simply goes off reading from his teleprompter to cheers of union plants and other drones including students who aren’t really paying attention but are in awe of “The One.”
Rep. Stupak (D-MI) is against abortion payments in any health care reform proposal and he’s not even close to agreeing with the language from the Senate.
WJRT reports: “[Stupak]’s confident a bill will pass sometime this year” while the AP is reporting “Rep. Bart Stupak said he expects to resume talks with House leaders this week…” Does that sound like Obama is speaking the truth when he says a vote is near? Abortion can’t be fixed in reconciliation, the House doesn’t have the votes to pass the Senate bill and avoid reconciliation.
Mr. Stupak’s position is a total rejection of the White House’s current plan to have the House pass the Senate bill now on the promise that the Senate might come back and try and fix it sometime in the future. Rep. Stupak clearly wants “one piece of legislation,” and the only way to accomplish that is to scrap the current Senate bill and start over. That is more like the Republican option but once again they are locked out of the process.
Each day passes and more “yes” votes are turning to “no” votes.
Reps. Michael Arcuri (D-NY), Dan Maffei (D-NY), Bill Owens (D-NY) and Dan Lipinski (D-IL) all confirmed they were either now undecided or would vote no. Rep. Artur Davis (D-AL), who voted no the first time, said he would suspend his campaign for Governor just so he could come back to Washington to vote against Obamacare again.
Obama and his ilk can spin this any way they want but the facts are the votes for Obamacare and quick celebration in the Rose Garden are fleeting. Indeed!

“While American politicians and intellectuals have not reached the depths of tyrants such as Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Hitler, they share a common vision. Tyrants denounce free markets and voluntary exchange. They are the chief supporters of reduced private property rights, reduced rights to profits, and they are anti-competition and pro-monopoly. They are pro-control and coercion, by the state. These Americans who run Washington, and their intellectual supporters, believe they have superior wisdom and greater intelligence than the masses. They believe they have been ordained to forcibly impose that wisdom on the rest of us. Like any other tyrant, they have what they consider good reasons for restricting the freedom of others. A tyrant’s primary agenda calls for the elimination or attenuation of the market. Why? Markets imply voluntary exchange and tyrants do not trust that people behaving voluntarily will do what the tyrant thinks they should do. Therefore, they seek to replace the market with economic planning and regulation, which is little more than the forcible superseding of other people’s plans by the powerful elite. We Americans have forgotten founder Thomas Paine’s warning that ‘Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.’” –George Mason University economics professor Walter E. Williams
“Obviously there is no need of fighting to overcome this single tyrant, for he is automatically defeated if the country refuses consent to its own enslavement: it is not necessary to deprive him of anything, but simply to give him nothing; there is no need that the country make an effort to do anything for itself provided it does nothing against itself. It is therefore the inhabitants themselves who permit, or, rather, bring about, their own subjection, since by ceasing to submit they would put an end to their servitude. A people enslaves itself, cuts its own throat, when, having a choice between being vassals and being free men, it deserts its liberties and takes on the yoke, gives consent to its own misery, or, rather, apparently welcomes it.” –French judge, writer, political philosopher Etienne de la Boetie (1530-1563)
“The abuse of federal political power to intervene in areas such as Americans’ private health care could exist only in a nation that no longer holds its leaders accountable to its constitution and that has governmental leadership that regards itself as above its people and its constitution. Sadly, I was listening to an interview the other day in which President Barack Obama described the U.S. Constitution as ‘an imperfect document … a document that reflects some deep flaws … (and) an enormous blind spot.’ He also said, ‘The Framers had that same blind spot.’ In so doing, the president established a rationale and justification for disregarding the Constitution. Even worse, he placed himself above the Constitution and those ‘blind Framers,’ who just couldn’t see the big picture as he does today. After all, he’s the constitutional scholar, and the Framers were just, well, the creators of the document!” –columnist Chuck Norris

Wake up America, write, call your representative in Washington D.C. If you think your voice doesn’t count, you’re wrong. Don’t be too wrong, your freedom may depend on it. Indeed!
Now the title in this little story is altogether true. The government has “created” about 600,000 jobs in the government sector so we should be very worried as they fill the “Failure Factory” with more bureaucracy and the largest government working behind the scenes to control our life.
Why would we believe a pathological liar like Obama. He has a plan and it’s up to the American people to ensure he doesn’t fully implement that plan.
Yesterday I quoted Edward S. “Eddie” Lampert, chairman of Sears Holdings and his concern about government and how they are holding up the creation of jobs in the private sector by creating uncertainty for business owners and manager so they can’t realistically move forward on business plans to expand and eventually hire more employees.
Providing a $1,000 tax credit to hire someone for no other reason and then receiving the credit if that person stays on the job for one-year is one of the more ridiculous government schemes to entice businesses to hire. This only demonstrates that people in the government are clueless when it comes to operating a business. It’s another reason to have term limits on this ilk so they can’t grow into their jobs and steal money from the real earner’s.
Job losses went down in the last count and Obama is telling us his “stimulus” is working. Why are fewer jobs appearing to be lost? Answer: Job Creation!
And now a word from real entrepreneurs and others in the know, not politicians and former community organizers.
Fred Lampropoulos told The New York Times that businesses were uncertain about investment because:
“there’s such an aggressive legislative agenda that businesspeople don’t really know what they ought to do.” That uncertainty, he added, “is really what’s holding back the jobs.”
Dan DiMicco, CEO of steelmaker Nucor Corp, told the Wall Street Journal:
“Companies large and small are saying, ‘I am not going to do anything until these things — health care, climate legislation — go away or are resolved.’”
Porta-King CEO Steve Schulte told USA Today his company is not investing because:
“proposals in Congress to tackle climate change and overhaul health care would raise costs.”
The New York Post’s Charles Gasparino reported on the 600 companies stock analyst Peter Sidoti covers:
“‘There hasn’t been one bankruptcy,’ he tells me. How did they survive the recession? By cutting costs and hoarding cash, not expanding their business and hiring more people, even as the economy now is starting to recover. During other recoveries, Sidoti says, firms like these would be hiring workers in droves as demand picks up for goods and services. This time around, they’re not — because ‘they don’t know what their costs are going to be.’”
National Federation of Independent Business chief economist Bill Dunkelberg writes:
“The horizon is filled with cost unknowns, from healthcare to cap and trade to yawning deficits and the need to come to grips with them, from paid family and medical leave to card check, from expiration of the Bush tax cuts to state decisions about their finances. Washington cannot expect small business owners, facing difficult economic circumstances anyway, to commit themselves to investing in new employees or equipment and vehicles without acknowledging and revealing the policy-inspired costs that will be imposed on them. It is all about uncertainty and confidence.”
Many like to use the term “tone deaf” when describing the political class and all the messages being sent. Obama and his ilk aren’t necessarily “tone deaf” they don’t care.
The agenda is destruction of the private sector, destruction of Capitalism, destruction of Democracy in America and a take over of our freedoms and liberties.
It’s called an ideology based on Marx, Lenin, and Saul Alinsky. What’s good for the Obama agenda is bad for the rest of us. We call it Communism, Indeed!
During the 1900s, Sears became a symbol of America, known for the quality and quantity of the items offered. Sears always promised that a customer did not have to pay for an item until it was delivered and the customer was satisfied with it. That is why Sears adopted the motto “Send No Money.”
This week as 36,000 more jobs were reported lost in February, Harry Reid (D-NV) declared:
“Today is a big day in America. Only 36,000 people lost their jobs today, which is really good.”
Some economists say the good news is that when the snow melts, the pace of hiring will resume smartly. Of course, Barack Obama jumped on this and proclaimed the recent blizzards were the main cause for lack of job creation and continued to insist the “stimulus” money, much of which has not been spent, is working.
Remember, our offer for cheap swampland in Arizona still stands.
In a letter to his shareholders, Edward S. “Eddie” Lampert, chairman of Sears Holdings, summed up how Washington’s political obstacles may impede a robust recovery:
“Sears Holdings shares the stated goal of many public officials of creating jobs. But, we don’t believe that we need large government programs to generate these jobs. Public officials often fail to recognize the obstacles they place in the way of job creation. For example, over the past year proposal after proposal has been put forward to reform health care, reform the financial system, increase taxes, and add regulations, all with the intention of making the United States a better and stronger country.
“Yet, as a business, trying to understand which of these proposals might become law, what their impact might be on business prospects and competition, and what additional costs they might impose creates a great deal of uncertainty. It has led our management team and board (and I am sure those managements and boards of other companies) to spend inordinate time trying to determine which investments we should make, defer, or cancel and which jobs to create, maintain, or eliminate. The removal of this uncertainty and the constant drumbeat of new threats against various businesses would go a long way to allowing American entrepreneurial energy to be unleashed.”
I repeat, the government does not create private sector jobs. This is a fact. It’s nice to know I have company from higher places on the subject.
Send no money, Indeed!
Wall Street Journal editorial page writer Joseph Rago writing yesterday in the Journal’s Political Diary newsletter:
Democrats seem prepared to hustle their health care plan through Congress on straight partisan power politics, though the roll of opponents to that strategy has now grown to include one key liberal ally—namely, Warren Buffett.
In a three-hour interview on CNBC yesterday, the Oracle of Omaha said Congress should toss out the current plan and start over with a tight bead on health care inflation.
“We’re just going to focus on costs,” he recommended, “and we’re not going to dream up 2,000 pages of other things. . . . Get rid of the nonsense.”
Health-care costs are:
“Like a tapeworm eating, you know, at our economic body,” Buffett continued.
“Unfortunately, we came up with a bill that really doesn’t attack the cost situation that much. And we have to have a fundamental change. We have to have something that will end the constant increase in medical costs as a percentage of GDP.”
A Communist Tapeworm, indeed!
