ATTENTION SPORTS FANS: THE STIMULUS AT WORK

THE STIMULUS AT WORK! Some have said that the stimulus hasn't saved any jobs, but here is a case  where at least one job was saved.Take for instance Oregon State University Athletic Director Bob De Carolis. Mr. DeCarolis was considering firing their Basketball Coach.......Craig Robinson   after an 8 -11 start (2-5) in the Pac 10 conference). When word reached Washington , Undersecretary of Education Martha Kanter was dispatched to Corvallis with $17 million in stimulus money for the university. Thankfully, Craig Robinson's job is safe for another year Now comes the interesting part of our story.... For those of you unfamiliar with Coach Robinson, he just so happens to be the brother in law of none other than our country's beloved President, NOW YOUR CATCHING ON...... that's right he is the brother of Michelle Obama! But hey, can't we all come to the conclusion that Coach Robinson's job security was all just a coincidence? I'm sure of it .... Aren't You? Thank Goodness For The Stimulus!!! But $17 million for one job? I wonder what mine is worth? If this doesn't anger you, nothing will... remember to vote this fall !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .....

FOUR MORE YEARS: And No More America!

Is the United States heading toward a redistribution of wealth? Where would the resources and money come from for a sustainable economy? Or, as it appears to a lot of us, is the Obama administration advancing more deeply toward socialism? The answer is yes! The idea or theory looks good on paper or in some bureaucrat's mind, but it has been unsuccessful throughout all of history.  We cannot have this form of government or a president that promotes such! Obama is taking this nation there as fast as he can. Another four years of him and we will be calling each other comrades, all driving the same kind of cars, wearing the same clothes, looking for the government for everything. No one will be able to strive to make their self better because the government will control every aspect of our lives. We do not need this and we do not need Comrade Obama!

Lately, Obama can't seem to read a single sentence off his teleprompter without uttering the word "jobs." It's odd, now that the country is gearing up for a presidential election, that his focus is, suddenly, on job creation; the issue must have magically appeared overnight since he all but ignored it for nearly three years (because he wanted to ignore it) as he focused on taking over car companies, promoting uneconomical green nonsense, nationalizing health care, and running all over the world apologizing to people who hate our guts. This is not a American leader! He needs to go back being a community organizer because as a president of this great nation he is not much! It is my opinion he knows exactly what he is doing. He wants this country to fail. When a leader tries to divide people, instead of bring them together, there is something out of place and wrong.  What is that old saying: “Divide and conquer”.  Obama is doing a good job of just that!
Approval for Obama as well as Congress and the federal government are at or near historical low points. Citizens (the taxpayers who pay their salary) are protesting their greed and civic inequality during the dissatisfaction of our so-called "American Autumn," which is now spreading from Wall Street nationwide. This is exactly what Obama wants, division in this country.  Many people, like me, have given up on our national leaders, and on those elected or appointed to serve us, as self-focused, overly-political, greedy and willing to do anything to keep their jobs. So that I’m not politically correct with my wording. We see this in all the give aways at the tax payer’s expense, The do nothing actions to our unsecured borders, the illegal alien problem, the Islamic terrorist problem that grows every day and he has yet to promote a jobs plan to get the economy moving again. All he is promoting is the same old thing, raise taxes and penalizing the people who are hard workers and have made their self what they are.  
I said all that but I would remind my fellow Americans that there are many exceptions where American citizens serve selflessly in the public interest, often for no money or far less money than they could earn elsewhere. These are many people who devote their lives to public service, who are committed to the public good and march to a higher calling than the one that is being put out by Obama and his cronies.
In my opinion we have a liar in the White house. We know not where he was born, what his true calling is. Is he a communist, Christian or a Muslim. What is he? I do not care what a man or his philosophy is but I sure do not want anyone in the White House that has views such as his, because they go against what this country was founded on.

INTERESTING STATS: A NEED TO READ

There are actually two messages here.   The 1st is very interesting, but the 2nd is absolutely astounding – and explains a lot. A recent “Investor’s Business Daily” article provided very interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International Health Organization Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years after diagnosis:
U.S.              65%
England        46%
Canada         42%
Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received treatment within six months:
U.S.              93%
England       15%
Canada        43%
Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received it within six months:
U.S.              90%
England       15%
Canada        43%

Percentage referred to a medical specialist who see one within one month:
U.S.              77%
England       40%

Check this last set of statistics!!

The percentage of each past president’s cabinet who had worked in the

private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.  You know what the private business sector is…

a real-life business, not a government job.

Here are the percentages.

T. Roosevelt………..38%
Taft……………………..40%
Wilson ………………..52%
Harding……………….49%
Coolidge…………….. 48%
Hoover ……………….42%
F. Roosevelt………..50%
Truman……………….50%
Eisenhower…………57%
Kennedy……………..30%
Johnson……………..47%
Nixon………………….53%
Ford……………………42%
Carter…………………32%
Reagan………………56%
GH Bush……………51%
Clinton   ……………39%
GW Bush…………..55%

And the winner is:
Obama…………… 8%

This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration: only 8% of them have ever worked in private business!

That’s right!  Only eight percent—the least, by far, of the last 19 presidents!  And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business?  They know what’s best for GM, Chrysler, Wall Street, and you and me?
How can the president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he’s never worked for one?  Or about jobs when he has never really had one?  And when it’s the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers?  They’ve spent most of their time in academia, government and/or non-profit jobs or as “community organizers.” They should have been in an employment line. So..do you now think we need a change?  I’ll bet I know what your answer will be.
