Obama is doing exactly what he should be doing,he will not be campaigning if Washington will allow him to do the things that he promised to do during his actual campaign. In fact I am tired of the politicians whose goals are mainly that of opposition, they are all hypocrites who had no problem running up trillions of dollars during the last eight years and suddenly they care about the deficit.

Obama should be given equall time to see how he performs. The war was important to Bush and he had his war approved so let Obama do the things that he feels are important which is his budget. I like seeing him reach out to main street, no other president cared much about the middle class.

Is Obama's media blitz working? About as well as all the other marketing to which we are exposed - with just a few more purchaes I'll be able to increase the size of my penis, grow hair on my bald spot,and solve all of my debt problems. I'm really looking forward to switching soda brands and atracting beautiful women.

Obama depreciates his political capital every time he opens his mouth now seeking the fawning public of entitlement-seekers. He won the bloody election and it is time to quit campaigning and spending money as if there is no tomorrow and get on with the job of governing. He IS scaring the American People. But the media is still in his pocket. Why don't we see any of the protests that are starting to happen around the country in response to his actions? How come we don't hear anything about the TEA PARTIES that are being planned? Fair and balanced news coverage does not seem to be the order of the day with this administration!!!!!

I find that when I hear President Obama talk it's as if he is still campaigning. He is still flying around doing town meetings, appearances on television programs, etc. I think its time for him to take office and run the country and I'm getting the feeling he is still flying around because he likes the attention, and doesn't want to be stuck in an office with no one gushing over him. I think his ego is really out there. I'm willing to make a prediction right now that when his term is up, he will move to Los Angeles and join the Hollywood crowd.

Debunking the Global Warming Myths

First let’s list a few facts:

1.Hundreds of scientists have signed on to say mankind is not causing global warming.

2. Global warming is being blamed for every thing from beetle kill to asthma.

3. Some global warmers are saying that 1/3 of Florida and New Orleans will be underwater.

4. We have had global warming since the last ice age. Is it any surprise that it is continuing? During the peak of the last ice age the ice came clear down to the center of Kansas.

Imagine that I am at a blackboard and I say ladies and gentleman this black board represents the total surface of the earth. I measure over 30 %from the left and draw a line saying this represents the land mass of the earths surface. Then I go to the right side and measure over 10% saying this represents the polar ice caps and mountain tops. In the center we have an area of 60% representing the oceans of the world. The oceans evaporate and the evaporation is blown over the land mass by trade winds and precipitates as rain or snow. So we have 60% of the earth supplying moisture to the 30% land mass. A ratio of two to one.

Now let see what happens when we have global warming. I erase the black board and come over 20% from the left. The global warmers say 1/3 of Florida and other areas will be under water so the land mass is reduced. There is no ice cap on the right side because the global warmers say the ice cap is going to melt. Now we have 80 % of the world covered with water evaporating moisture to be precipitated on 20% of the world which is land. That is a ratio of 4 to 1 which was a ratio of 2 to 1. Twice as much. The earth is a sealed and complicated system. This means twice as much moisture evaporated, twice as many clouds, twice as much rain and snow. Twice as many clouds means cooler days. You can argue with the amount of change which I just used but the principle is the same. Reductions in land mass or reductions in the ice cap will both increase global rainfall!

The Mississippi River Valley will eventually be a rain forest. The arid land of Texas, Arizona and New Mexico will be farmable.

I have heard from some global warmers that we will have famine, drought and cannibalism. I have been looking around to see whom I might like to eat. Some of them look blubbery and the rest look tough and stringy!

Some times global warming and energy independence are mentioned together but the connection is only coincidental. Some projects will apply to both.

Every time this man speaks, I've come to see him as a spoiled little college brat with no idea of how to make it the real world. He talks of reducing the deficit while out-spending any other president in history, he still blames Bush for the plummet of the economy since he got elected and refuses to "let go" of his Socialist reformation of America even though we clearly can't afford it or want it. Thank god some of the Democratic Congress members are beginning to see the light. The Obamanist is unable to "adapt" to circumstances or reality and continues forward with his "Yes I Can, Cause I'm President now" Agenda. Facts and logic seem to have no bearing, the simple fact is that the numbers don't add up. I am truely fearfull of what will happen if the US faces another attack or series of natural disasters. Obama can't handle the truth.

The more I hear him the less I think about him.

He made no sense in his "press conference" and he never answered any of the questions, it was all talking points.

Blaming his 3.6 deficit spending on Bush's 1.3 deficit????

I sense the press is getting a little tired of his long winded non-answers, I know I am.
