A Bloody Lip

Growing up in Tennessee back in the 60s it was not uncommon to encounter others kids who were not as enlightened as I was and sometimes the only way to teach them something was to bloody their nose or lip to get their attention.  It was no big deal; a little swelling, a cold compress, a little pressure, and in a day or two they were as good as new.

But how far we have fallen in this country!  Now if our brave young Navy SEALs risk their life to capture a murdering terrorist, and he claims to have gotten a bloody lip while being captured or in captivity, then our military heroes are charged with "dereliction of performance of duty for willfully failing to safeguard a detainee, making a false official statement, and assault."

Political correctness is squeezing the life out of our spirit as a people and as a nation.  It breeds injustice for our heroes and fuels contempt from our enemies.  Many citizens do not realize just how dangerous this has become and how that one day they may be seriously injured or killed as a result of this stupidity.

So let's see how this is playing out now.....

By all rules of warfare enemy combatants (those engaged in war against us not wearing a military uniform and representing a sovereign country) can be shot on sight.  They have no legal rights to the protections of the Geneva Convention, rights to a trial of any sort, and certainly not a trial in a US court with Constitutional rights designed for American citizens who are accused of committing a crime.

But the confessed mastermind of 9/11, Kaleid Sheik Muhammed, will get a civilian trial with all the rights of a US citizen (hint: if he really does he cannot be convicted) courtesy of Barack Hussein Obama. 

However in 2009, Navy SEALs who risked their life to capture one of the most brutal terrorists in Iraq (Abed) will get a military court martial.  Let me put this another way; what will the Navy SEALs get for risking their life in the US military to defend this country against terrorists:

    Will they get a medal?  No

    Will they get a civilian trial?  No

    Will they get a military trial by court martial?  Yes

    Will their career be ruined?  Yes

    Will they serve jail time?  Perhaps

Just what did this terrorist do?

"The four Blackwater agents were transporting supplies for a catering company when they were ambushed and killed by gunfire and grenades. Insurgents burned the bodies and dragged them through the city. They hanged two of the bodies on a bridge over the Euphrates River for the world press to photograph."

"Intelligence sources identified Abed as the ringleader, but he had evaded capture until September."

But what about poor Abed... how was he brutalized when he was captured by these lawless and savage Navy SEALs?

"Ahmed Hashim Abed, whom the military code-named "Objective Amber," told investigators he was punched by his captors — and he had the bloody lip to prove it."

So there you have it.  The terrorist had a bloody lip.  This means we needed to voluntarily take our guys out of the fight and see if we can't teach them a lesson about how they must handle these terrorists in a much more gentle manner by ruining their careers and lives if possible. 

 Of course now that the terrorists are beginning to actually believe that we are a bunch of complete idiots being led by an absolute airhead, and rightly so, he may have bloodied his own lip knowing that would cause chaos in our military and destroy the lives of those who captured him.  

Bottom Line:  We now prosecute our young men who are risking their life to keep us safe if a terrorist gets a bloody lip. God help us all...

Obama Promises are Worthless

Once again let's document with direct facts that show how Obama is an incompetent airhead who either can't or won't keep even his most basic promises.

Remember his second day in office?  He promised to shut down Guantanamo prison within a year.  But now he admits that won't happen.

"WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama on Thursday moved quickly to undo a contentious Bush administration national security program, ordering the CIA to close down secret overseas prisons and the Pentagon to close down the Guantanamo prison within a year. The president also banned the harshest interrogation methods."

Imagine, this is a military matter very much under the direct control of the Commander in Chief and yet he can't even keep his word on this.  I told you when it happened the whole thing looked like a Saturday Night Live (SNL) skit because it was done in such an amateurish fashion.  See my blog piece written at the time:  Executive Order at Guantanamo Prison

I predicted additional terrorist attacks under this weak leader and now we have had one by an operative inside the military.  Result:  13 dead and many more wounded.  Look for more attacks in the future.

Was this too tough of a promise to keep for our narrow shouldered leader?  OK... let's look at another promise.  He promised to make sure bills would be posted on the internet for several days before they would be voted on by the Congress.  Well, once again he did not keep his promise.

In short, Obama's promises are worthless!  The American people need to contact their television and radio networks and let them know that anytime this liar appears on their air they will switch channels or turn off the radio or TV completely.

Why?  Because they are tired of hearing his out and out lies and are simply refusing to hear them anymore.  They should learn through zero ratings not to cover his daily TelePrompTer reading sessions because what he says means nothing.

So now Obama is promising that if you let him manage your health care it will be cheaper with better service. As I've tried to teach in the past, when a liberal speaks all you need to know is that they are 180 degrees out of phase almost without fail.  So this means the government health care would actually be more expensive with worse service for the patients.

Really folks....  if he can't keep these much simpler promises are you going to rely on his promises regarding the health care for you and your family where life and death or pain and suffering could be involved?  If so may I suggest you visit a psychiatrist before you visit your family doctor.

Obama Admits Delay In Closing Guantanamo

A 25 Minute Joke

Those of us who understand guys like Obama were not surprised when General Mcchrystal, the Commander in Afghanistan who was handpicked for the job earlier this year, revealed on 60 Minutes that he has spoken to our "Commander in Chief" exactly one time in 70 days.  Others who originally thought Obama was actually a leader are now having second thoughts.

Well Obama knew he had been exposed and this revelation was damaging so what did he do today?  He invited the General to meet with him on Air Force One for...... drum roll please..... 25 minutes!

Yes our young King is a cool guy and a quick study isn't he?  Imagine, the General sent a report last month saying the war is going badly and we may lose this thing if additional troops are not sent soon.  And yet Obama is able to wait for over a month and then meet with General Mcchrystal for a mere 25 minutes to grasp the whole situation.  Pretty impressive, don't you think?

That is unless he is actually an arrogant airhead who knows absolutely nothing about leadership and is willing to let the clock tick while our young military members are being killed.... his spokesman says they are going to "study" this for a few more weeks.  Yes, I guess he didn't realize this war thing would be so important when he was running for office and apparently still doesn't.

A real leader would be meeting through teleconferences and in person with his top military staff, to include General Mcchrystal, on at least a weekly basis and probably more often than that in a situation like this until a decision is made on the General's request for more troops.

Instead we got a 25 Minute Joke from Obama today all done to blunt criticism that he is not meeting with the key military leader on a regular basis when the war is going in the tank.  And by the way, don't give me any nonsense about hiding behind the skirt of his Secretary of Defense citing "chain of command".  This is an excuse from a man who knows nothing about the military or war and is trying to avoid it even though his position description says he is in charge of the military.

General Mcchrystal I've got some advice for you.  Tell this airhead you are a busy man who is trying to keep our young soldiers from being killed and the war from being lost.  

Explain to him in no uncertain times you have no time for photo ops or other butt saving exercises on his part.  And he must understand that you are not about to take long trips out of theatre for 25 minute meetings..... or as I call it a 25 Minute Joke.

Tell him that when he is serious about being briefed on what is going on there you will be happy to give him that briefing.  If you don't consider this to be reasonable or satisfactory you need to get someone else for the position.

In fact, I would demand a minimum of one meeting a week through teleconference that is at least one hour long with both him and the Secretary of Defense present.  Tell him if he doesn't have that much time or interest in what is going on here he needs to get a replacement.

You may be fired and probably will be because arrogant people don't take criticism or frank talk very well.  But better that than to allow this to continue while our soldiers lives and the outcome of this war are in the balance.

J. Cogburn

Basketball or American Lives?

What does Obama believe is more important, a pickup game of basketball or our soldiers lives?

Well his actions tell us the answer.  Earlier this year he fired the commanding General in Afghanistan and replaced him with a General of his choice.

Almost a month ago the General provided his assessment; we need at least 40,000 more troops or we will lose this war.  In the meantime, it is a documented fact that these new Obama Rules of Engagement in Afghanistan are getting soldiers unnecessarily killed.  You see, things like giving Miranda Rights to the enemy on the battlefield is not a sane idea... it is idiotic and gets people killed.

Since "Commander in Chief" is actually the most important part of the President's duty you would guess that he has been meeting day and night with the top military Commanders and key congressional leaders to make a decision on this, correct?

No Obama has continued flying around the country day after day reading from the TelePrompTer on health care, an area that the Constitution in no way involves the President of the United States.

He gets on Letterman a month after the General provides his report and says "We need a strategy for Afghanistan".  Say what?  Well why do you not have a strategy?  And if you don't have one, why are you not working day and night to get one?  

This afternoon when he had some spare time between his laughable speech on global warming and his dangerous speeches coming this week to weaken our national defense was he meeting with the military brass on Afghanistan?  No.

Well what was he doing?  Playing basketball!  This guy could care less about the troops and he has shown it on multiple occasions.  This one is the most striking and serious.  Impeachment proceedings should begin tomorrow!!

"A refusal by President Obama to heed an urgent call for more troops in Afghanistan has opened an increasingly bitter divide between the American military and the White House and exposed confusion in US strategy."

"Senior military officials expressed their alarm over Mr Obama’s decision to spend weeks, and maybe months, considering the opinion of General Stanley McChrystal, the US commander in Afghanistan, who said last week that the war was likely to be lost without a rapid surge of additional troops."

Mangled History

I'm still amazed even though I have pointed out in various commentaries for almost a year now that Obama is wrong on basic historical facts every time he speaks without a TelePrompTer.

What's more jaw-dropping is that he is often wrong when he speaks with a TelePrompTer..... does this man not have anyone in his staff that is capable of checking basic historical facts?  Does the fact that he can't even get simple historical facts right give you confidence the man knows what he is doing.... on anything?

During a recent TV interview, when President Obama was asked about the prospects of victory in Afghanistan, he replied that it would not be victory like in World War II, with "Hirohito coming down and signing a surrender to MacArthur." 

I think his ignorance is on display almost every time he opens his mouth.  This is simply another example of what I'm talking about and more evidence the man is an empty suit or as I say a complete and utter airhead.

Hirohito did not come down and sign a surrender to MacArthur!

So at the same time he slapped all our military men and women in the face by saying we are not seeking victory in our war against terrorists he also mangled history to boot.  Pathetic!

You Heard It Here First

Yesterday I sent out an email which said in part the following:
 
----------------------
But here is what's most interesting I think.  I've actually been pondering what Obama might do at the end of his term or more importantly if this birth certificate deal ever comes to a head.  It is a real long shot now, but it is also still not dead.  Would he willingly relinquish the Presidency if he was shown to be the fraud that he is and ordered to step down from the office?
 
One piece of evidence strongly suggests he would not.  I've observed how guys like Obama accuse the other side of doing exactly what they intend to do themselves.  I've seen it over and over again.  And some of them openly said they feared that President Bush would not give up the office when his term was over.
 
So nobody knows for sure how history will play out, but hearing them say this publicly lends credence to the idea that a guy like Obama might in fact try to stay in office through emergency powers granted to the President in times of a national crisis.  And after he did this there might indeed be a national crisis.

-----------------------
 
Today Rush Limbaugh said the following (paraphrasing):
---------------------
I don't want people to think I've gone over the edge, but I think his backing of the man who tried to ignore the Hondurus Constitution and continue in office beyond the term limits is very instructive.
 
The cult like following of Obama may mean he will try to stay on as President past 2016 either through repeal of the 22nd amendment or through some other means.  I think he may be plotting right now to ensure he is President for life or as long as he desires.
---------------------------
 
In my opinion the more likely the way he would do it is to declare a national emergency and exercise powers granted the President under such a situation.  And believe me guys like Obama can screw things up so much we will have chaos, but if necessary they have no problem in declaring an emergency or doing anything else to stay in power.
 
Keep in mind this man has already moved us swiftly toward being a banana republic where there is no rule of law (remember the bondholders at car companies and how the dealers were simply forced out of business with no reason or compensation given?) but simply a country ruled by whoever is in power at the time however he chooses to rule.
 
He also committed fraud to get into the office.  Obama knows full well he was not born in America and that is why he has refused to release his long form birth certificate.  Perhaps he can get a forgery made someday, but in the meantime he is spending huge sums of money across the country on lawyers who have been hired to fight any suit that would simply require him to show his birth certificate (not the phony certificate of birth he posted on the internet).
 
Do not put anything past this man and his thugs in the Congress.  If you don't believe this, just think about the fact that the Congress is now forcing votes on a bill, Cap and Trade, with some of the most sweeping regulation and increased taxes in American history without even allowing the members of the House, much less the American people, to read the bill.
 
They did the same thing on the so called stimulus bill which will cost the taxpayers $785,000,000,000, i.e., almost 1 trillion dollars.  Just ram it through.  People who do this type of thing will do anything to include trying to keep the airhead in office for life.
 
If you think it can't happen here you had better wake up and smell the coffee.  This type of thing is the norm in most parts of the world and will be here too when there are no longer enough people who have the knowledge and backbone to ensure the rule of law is enforced.
 
When that happens, and it is actually underway now right before our very eyes, then you can kiss freedom and prosperity goodbye.  The good news is that much of our population will no longer be overweight.  The bad news is many in America will have an appearance more like the people shown in the link below:
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starvation
 
My advice is for you to do what you can to keep the freedoms you have now because it is tough to maintain freedom, but it is a lot easier to keep it than it is to get it back after it is lost.

Tailgaiting and Foreign Policy

What does tailgating and foreign policy have in common?  Well there are actually some striking similarities so let's take a look shall we?

A person who constantly tailgates the car in front of them when driving sooner or later finds themselves in a tough situation when the car in front of them suddenly hits the brakes.

This leaves the tailgater with a hard decision; should he rear end the car in front of him or swerve into the ditch?  He will justify the decision he makes by saying it was not his fault because he had no good choices and blame the whole thing on the driver of the car he was tailgaiting.

But here is the point.  The reason he had a no-win situation on his hands was because he was tailgaiting.  In other words, had he not been tailgaiting he would not have been in this bind.

So now the world is decending into chaos within the first 6 months of Obama's administration. This turmoil has already resulted in young Iranian people being shot down in the street while North Korea has declared war on the US by saying they no longer honor the truce they agreed to in 1953, i.e., the war is on again.  In addition, they are openly threatning to nuke the US if we do anything to enforce the UN agreements they agreed to regarding nuclear proliferation.

So here is the connection....

The US began "tailgaiting" when Obama supporters elected a man whose primary resume entry was that of Community Organizer and who openly praises the enemies of  the United States while poking his finger in the eye of our allies.  He is rightly perceived by our enemies as a weak and inexperienced leader who should be tested and this test is already causing young Iranians to be shot down in the street.

The North Korean situation could result in thousands or perhaps even millions to be killed if a wrong move is made that results in a robust conventional war or even a nuclear exchange.

In short, the Mullahs and Kim Jong-il are taunting Obama and spitting in his face while they dare him to stop them from executing their plans for the destruction of Israel and yes even the United States.

But let's look at the bright side.  After 35 long years in the Senate, Joe Biden was finally right about something regarding foreign policy when he said before Obama took office that he would be tested by these rogue leaders in his first 6 months in office.  The bad news is that Joe thought he would pass the test, but so far he is failing miserably.

J. Cogburn

Fantasy Meets Reality

It was a wonderful fantasy for those who have little understanding of how life on the blue planet really works.... just elect Barack Hussein Obama, a man who has never done anything of note in the real world besides get elected to public office, and presto! he will be able to bring world peace and economic prosperity.
 
But the reality is that the economy is a disaster and being made worse by Obama's actions as measured by unemployment rates, rising interest rates, and a falling dollar.  The dollar's value has dropped almost 10% since Obama took office which means every dollar you earn and every dollar you have saved now has much less buying power since the new King took his throne.  In other words, you are poorer now than you were when Bush was in office.
 
Yes the market is up from its March low, but for the year has done little.  It is still down over 3,000 points since Obama was nominated and about 1,000 points since he was elected.  My guess is that this is still a bear market rally and that there will be another leg down later this year after this rally stalls out sometime this summer.  But only time will tell if this is correct or not; stay tuned for the correct answer.
 
He keeps blaming Bush after months in office and getting all this "stimulus" spending he asked for days after taking the oath.  It's embarrassing... Obama is more akin to a little kid who's always seeking to blame others than the type of man we need who has been hardened by many hardships and experiences in the military, civilian, and political arenas and actually knows how to take responsibility for his own decisions and actions.
 
Foreign policy on this man's narrow shoulders is even worse.  He himself said his toughest test in life was paying off his student loans... and there is quite a bit of evidence, including forms he submitted when elected to the Senate, that he didn't even have to do that.
 
He is snubbing allies while being friendly with dictators whenever he gets the chance.  And to have this do-nothing airhead at a D-Day celebration along with Sarkozy while not extending an invitation to the Queen of England, who actually lived through and served in the military during WWII, is so rude I'm sure it will not be forgotten by the Brits and is just another seed being planted that may well bear bitter fruit somewhere down the line.  I'm ashamed that our President would attend the celebration without insisting the Queen be invited too.
 
Foreign leaders are laughing at this guy and US enemies are actively engaged in increasingly provacative acts that can only lead to a confrontation or capitulation.  North Korea is itching for a fight now that the US has a lightweight as Commander in Chief.  We shall see if Obama begins to blockade North Korea with US Navy ships and if so what North Korea's response will be.
 
But I know he would prefer not to do this since a real war with North Korea, which started under his watch, might mean he has to work in the Oval Office instead of flying somewhere to read from his teleprompter.  But don't count on it; I assure you he is not interested in doing any real work where he has to take responsibility for tough decisions.  If possible he would continue to blame the Bush administration for the war....yes that's it, he inherited this North Korean war from Bush!
 
Obama gave Iran the green light to continue with production of nuclear materials which of course they will use to develop a nuclear weapon.  And all his actions and many of his words have now told Israel they are on their own.  Given that Ahmadinejad, the President of Iran, has repeatedly said they plan to build nuclear weapons and wipe Israel off the map, Israel will now feel more and more like a cornered animal and a cornered animal is a dangerous animal that can lash out at any minute.
 
In his last speech he told us all that no nation should tell other nations what to do or elevate themselves above others.  Then he proceeded to tell Israel to stop building houses in areas that the arabs lost while attacking Israel in past battles.  This guy talks out of both sides of his mouth on every issue and most of the time he does it even in the same speech!
 
It is amazing that he does it, but even more amazing that even the Obama Kool Aid Drinkers haven't all seen it yet because it is obvious to anyone who pays attention to what this man says and does.

How Long Does It Take?

After a clueless lightweight is elevated to the Oval Office, whose primary skill is reading the same tired speech day after day from a teleprompter with only minor variatons, how long does it take for the bad actors of this world to dare him to do something about their provocative and illegal behavior?

Before we answer this question let's consider how the world actually works.  Those of you who have cable or satellite TV should watch the series call "Planet Earth".  It is very instructive about the realities of our world.  What are these realities?

One reality is that weakness invites attack and death.  The other night in scene after scene the animal hunters looked for the weak target; the young, the injured, the slow, and the foolish.  Weakness invited attack.  They avoided attacking the strong whenever possible.

A pride of hungry lions wanted to attack a herd of elephants but didn't do it.  Why?  Because the lions were no match for the strength and might of mature elephants when they were banded together and on alert.

So what did they do?  They waited until a small elephant came along that had foolishly or unfortunately been separated from the herd and instead of attacking with one or two lions all 30 of them attacked.  In other words, they were emboldened by weakness.  When they saw it they attacked.

Now let's consider what has happened in the last 4 months since King Obama took the throne. He told us while campaigning that all you had to do is talk nice to these bad eggs around the world, show them how nice we really are, and presto! everything would be fine.  These conflicts around the world are all just a big misunderstanding you see.

But what has actually happened with this diplomatic genius in office? 

Well a couple of months into office he took a trip overseas to visit with the Europeans among others. He asked them to take some of the Gitmo prisoners and they laughed.  He asked them to provide some combat troops for Afghanistan and they told him to take a hike.  And just as he was about to make a historic speech about peace, if his teleprompter would cooperate, a long range missile test was conducted by Iran at the precise time necessary to make it clear they are spitting in the face of Obama.

Now you have North Korea launching missiles at will and detonating nuclear bombs against all the UN treaties  All you UN lovers, did the resolutions stop North Korea from doing whatever they wanted to do?  No.

But here is the dangerous part.  Weakness invites aggression.  They correctly perceive Obama to be an arrogant man who has accomplished nothing of substance beside being elected to office and knows little without his teleprompter... translation; he is a weak target and this weakness should be exploited.

So North Korea has now said they are denouncing the cease fire reached in 1953 and anyone who tries to stop their ships will be attacked.  Now they may or may not try to back up their threats.  But if they do this could lead to a major war.  We are dealing with a madman in North Korea who has been emboldened by Obama taking office and is now determined to show aggression at least through illegal testing activities.  Any miscalculation or accident could lead to more people being killed in a few days than have been killed in Iraq in 6 years.

Biden was right for once in the last 35 years when he said that Obama would be tested in his first 6 months in office. So far he is dealing with it by continuing to fly around the country to read from the teleprompter by day and by attending parties at night.  Recently he threw in some fundraising for Senator Harry Reid.

So to sum up, the foreign policy of this administration so far is to:

    a.  ask Israel to commit suicide by allowing Iran to get nuclear weapons even though their President has said on many occasions they plan to wipe Israel off the map.

    b.  Get little or no support from the allies even when directly requested by the King himself.

    c.  Embolden the madmen of this world to begin full scale testing of weapons systems without fear of consequence.  As an example, when Iran launched their missile during Obama's speech he came out and said there would be serious consequences.

Well, what were the consequences to Iran?  There were none.  He couldn't even get the UN to issue a statement condemning the illegal act.  So he shoots off his ignorant mouth, but doesn't have what it takes to back it up.  These guys must be belly laughing day and night at this airhead.

Only time will tell how all this plays out, but if you believe weakness and inexperience are the keys to peace then you are probably a modern day liberal as they almost always are 180 degrees out of phase with reality on the blue planet.

Photos Reveal Empty Skull

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.  In this case photos confirm that Obama is an absolute airhead that should have never been allowed anywhere near the oval office.  Let's examine why this is true.

"WASHINGTON – In a reversal, President Barack Obama is fighting the release of dozens of new photos showing U.S. personnel allegedly abusing prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan, a White House official said Wednesday.

Not long ago King Obama released classified information regarding our very mild and limited techniques used to obtain information from enemy combatants captured on the battlefield since 9/11.  Liberal minded folks call these techniques, such as putting a harmless caterpillar in the room with the prisoner, torture.

But these same folks protest vigorously to have innocent and healthy Americans in their early stages of life die a horrible death at the hands of their mother, to include partial birth abortion which entails punching a hole in the skull of an innocent human being and sucking out its brains before removing him or her from the mother's womb and throwing them in the trash.

In other words, they will stand in the rain to protest and stop a capital punishment sentence being carried out for a serial killer and will stand in the rain to protest making the captured terrorists uncomfortable in any way for any reason.

But these same people will also stand in the rain to support abortion on demand for healthy and innocent human beings who are not a threat to anyone.  That's just one reason why true liberalism as defined in modern times is accurately described as a mental disease.

This is a clear sign of another observation I've seen over the years regrading the truly liberal mind; they can't distinquish between the guilty and the innocent and how the rules should apply differently to them.  Like almost everything else they get the correct answer exactly backwards without fail.  It's uncanny how they are able to do this so consistently.

Now back to the photos.  You see Obama rushed into releasing the classified information regarding our interrogation techniques without thinking the whole thing through and what the consequences might be for this action.  Then without thinking some more he said they would release the photos too.  But now he is suddenly realizing this could be a big mistake and could put those who are trying to protect us in danger plus have very negative long term consequences too.

So he is trying now to stop the release of the photos. But you see this is exactly how an airhead operates.  They don't think things through.... or as the saying goes they don't think 6 inches in front of their nose.

Another example of this was when he signed an executive order on his second day in office to close Guantanamo.  This was without doing the planning to determine where the prisoners would go. Now the other countries say they don't want them and so they don't really know what to do with them; it's been a total embarrassment.

Eventually they may end up in our neighborhood because the airhead makes executive decisions without thinking them through as to what all the implications of those decisions are.  But what should you expect from a person who had never been an executive before in his life who suddenly finds himself in the highest executive position in the land.

Now he is pushing the idea that a government run health care system will save us all money!  This despite the fact that medicare is costing way more than budget projections and is literally threatning to bankrupt the country through trillions in unfunded liability for the taxpayers.

His little speech today makes it sound like government health care is simply free to businesses and individuals.  If that were true I would be for it.  But what he leaves out is that we will all pay for it through higher taxes of various types.  That is why he is pushing taxes on cigarettes, sodas, utilities through Cap and Trade, and every other thing they can think of as a way to raise your taxes.

Facts like these simply bounce off the liberal mind.  In other words, they have clearly demonstrated through this limited government health care program that the costs will be much higher for a given amount of care and doctors will hate it because of the bureacracy of government programs.  But what is their conclusion?  Let's have more of this, it's great!

Bottom Line:  These airhead actions and ideas will totally transform the United States in the coming years.  Look for higher taxes, higher interest rates, higher inflation especially for basic costs of living, and a lower standard of living.  Also look for many of the promises that have been made regarding social security and health care to be broken.

You will not be able to draw social security as early as promised and when it comes to that expensive medical procedure you need after you get old... forget about it!  Uncle Sam will simply not be able to afford it and you won't either.
