Smoke & Mirrors to Protect Obama's Fantasy

10/24/2012

The November 6 election will determine what type of person we want to be the leader of America.  For those of us who have been paying attention, we know the extent of Obama’s distortions and outright lies.  

Picture
Obama & his administration are desperately trying to protect Obama's vision of himself as a great commander in chief and healer of relations in the Middle East, with al Qaeda on the run.  They are trying to keep that vision until after the election so that most voters in America won't know the truth before they vote.  After all, are you hearing the truth on the mainstream media?  They are trying just as desperately to protect the Obama image that has been portrayed during his administration.
   After all the news about Benghazi (news on Fox News that is) I think we can safely say that the Obama administration did cover up what really happened in the aftermath.  What is more important is why were those Americans who died not protected?  Obama’s policies have left Americans dangerously vulnerable, in our own country and all over the world.
·        On Feb. 14, 2012 more than 700 FBI documents and 300 presentations were considered “unusable” by subject matter experts because they were considered offensive to the Muslim community.  The ISNA, Islamic Society of North America, is dictating what the FBI and other US agencies can have in their training programs!  President of the ISNA, Mohamid Magid, sits on the US Department of Homeland Security advisory committee and works with the national security council.  This is a man who is president of a named co-conspiracy organization of terrorism.  He held a prayer at the White House and he was right at the head table with Obama.  Under the Freedom of Information Act, Congress requested a list of who was at the meeting with FBI Director Mueller to purge documents but the Department of Justice did not reply to the request.  Those convicted of the Holy Land Terrorism have access to the documents but our attorney general will NOT allow Congress to see them!

·        Our own soldiers in Afghanistan are being killed by the people they are training.  Seventy percent (70%) of the deaths in Afghanistan have been during Obama’s time in office—3 years of Obama to more than 8 years prior Obama!

·        During Obama’s speech to the UN on 9/25/12 he said:  “Let us remember that Muslims have suffered the most at the hands of extremism.”  . . .”The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.

·        It was Obama and his administration that inflamed the supposed outrage over the anti-Islam video by telling the world about it constantly—even buying airtime on Pakistani television to broadcast that apologetic message.  What about Obama’s constant reminder that he killed Osama Bin Laden.  Does he think al Qaeda thinks that is a good thing?  Instead, for 2 weeks he kept blaming Benghazi on a youtube video that, before he started talking about it, almost no one had even seen it.

·        Obama’s policy is appeasement when dealing with all things Islam:  Lies about Benghazi, deception that the Times Square bomber in 2010 was “an isolated extremist,” Fort Hood shooting was labeled workplace violence—refusing to present events as they actually are to color our views and paint himself as the great peacemaker.

·        Obama’s release of all the information on SEAL Team VI and the killing of Osama bin Laden:  Just three months after the raid by Navy SEAL Team VI, those same SEALS were killed.  On their way to a mission in Afghanistan, the helicopter they were in was shot down.  All 38 American and Afghan service members who were aboard perished, marking the largest loss of life in America’s 11 years of military operations in Afghanistan.  Twenty of the twenty-two SEALs and SEAL support were from SEAL Team VI.   Obama’s leaking of information and his constrictive “rules of engagement” intended to win the “hearts and minds” of the Afghan people directly contributed to the deaths of all those aboard the helicopter.  SEAL Billy Vaughn’s dad said:  “When the Obama administration leaked the identity of the SEALs after the bin Laden raid, a target was put on their back.  By increasing the reliance on special operators in prosecuting the war, but not giving them the top line equipment and personnel to support them, this administration bears responsibility for the events of that fateful night.  And the (Obama) rules of engagement that let my son’s killers walk away unscratched is a betrayal of our commitment to our warriors in the field.”  Did you hear about any of this on mainstream media?  And guess was the families of those SEALs received from Obama--form letters with a stamped signature!

·        Benghazi:  Former CIA covert operations officer said the question is not so much who knew and when they knew, but why were they left so vulnerable.  There were more than 230 security incidents in Libya between June 2011 and July 2012.  Of those attacks, 48 took place in Benghazi, two at the US diplomatic compound & scene of the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attacks.  The UK and the Red Cross closed their facilities in Benghazi in June due to the rise in violence.  Common sense would tell anyone to prepare for an attack on Sept. 11!  Yet our State Dept. took out 30 personnel from Libya in the 6 months prior to the attack.  The facility that Ambassador Stevens was in wasn’t properly protected.  The “safe haven” was a closet!  The February 17 Brigade that was supposed to provide security support was a “bunch of poorly trained, unvetted young Libyans used as our primary security element at that point. … Why this tragedy occurred in the first place is the screwup.”  Also, we now know, after emails to the White House, State Dept., and the Pentagon were uncovered, that the 2 Navy SEALs fought for 7 hours before they were killed.  Where was the help from America?  Obama’s administration is now saying they had to get permission from Libya to cross the border! 

·        Obama and his administration have told so many lies that it is impossible to report them all.  Your responsibility is to tell everyone you know about the truth and to vote for Romney on November 6.

By Any Means

   All across the country, assisted by Obama's administration, there is a push to prevent checking on voter fraud (especially in the swing states) .  Wonder why they want noncitizens and dead people to vote?  Almost all of those noncitizens and dead people registered to vote are registered as Democrat or unaffiliated voters.  I guess their thinking is that the only way they can stay in office and keep destroying America is to cheat!
   The latest news this morning is that Colorado found 300 more noncitizens on voter rolls.  Colorado started the process in 2011 but only recently was granted access to the Homeland Security list to verify citizenship of people who are voting.  I thought Homeland Security was supposed to protect America???  Why is the Obama administration doing everything they can to allow voter fraud? 
   Attempts by states to protect their rights have cost those states tremendously in terms of money and time.  When states challenge the feds,  the Obama administration says:  "Try it and we'll sue."  Just in Texas alone, the attorney general's office has filed 24 lawsuits against the federal government since Obama took office.  Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said the litigation is "a fight against the unprecedented ideology coming from the Obama administration."  Nine attorneys general declared that the "Obama administration is riding roughshod over the law, and is using its regulatory powers to impose huge costs on the states."  South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson said:  "You're seeing now a federal government that's doing everything in its power to circumvent the Bill of Rights."  Washington is waging an "across the board regulatory assault" on state governments.  Virginia's AG said: this "administration repeatedly shows disdain for the law . . . the states, and the Constitution.  It is absolutely unprecedented."
   Obama & his administration need to respect our Constitution.   The US Constitution is an effort to have a federal government while limiting the power of that government so that states can remain truly sovereign. States, not the federal government, gave us our liberties.  Obama seems to have that all wrong and is trying real hard to totally change the way this country is supposed to work.  In doing that he is wasting precious resources the states cannot afford.
   Please vote on Nov. 6 and vote to get honesty and integrity back in the White House and Congress.

Another of Obama's sarcastic, demeaning insults is false:  "I think Gov. Romney maybe hasn’t spent enough time looking at how our military works,” Obama said about Romney’s complaint that there will be fewer ships in the Navy than in 1916.  “Well, governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets because the nature of our military’s changed. We have these things called aircraft carriers, where planes land on them,” Obama said. “We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines. And so the question is not a game of Battleship, where we’re counting ships. It’s what are our capabilities.”
   Maybe if Obama attended some of his intelligence briefings he might have some knowledge about what is going on with the military.  Just 3 days before he made the above comment in the debate, a horse/soldier monument was dedicated at ground zero.  This monument was to honor the first soldiers sent to Afghanistan in response to the 9/11 attack.  Guess what?  They had to go in on horses and they had bayonets!  In fact, a British soldier was recently honored for leading a bayonet charge against the Taliban in 2011 in Afghanistan.
   “The bayonet is still very much a useful tool," former U.S. Marine Doug Miller, of Hiawatha, Kan., told FoxNews.com. "That was kind of a dumb thing for him to say."
   Miller, 64, a Vietnam veteran who served in the 3rd Battalion, 11th Marines Division, said the bayonet is indispensable for Marines in urban warfare, where they may have to go room to room in search of insurgents.

Election - November 6, 2012

Obama and his supporters will do anything to win, including intimidation and lawsuits:

·       DOJ sues states over photo ID laws.  We have seen the lawsuits against states who are trying to prevent voter fraud.  In their usual tactic to completely switch it around to make it seem as if states are trying to prevent minority votes, Obama’s DOJ is bringing lawsuits against those states .  We need photo ID to take tests, to play on a soccer team, to fly, to see your doctor, to apply for a job, to substitute teach, and even to get into the Massachusetts Democrat Party Convention (even to get into the convention floor), and hard to believe but true, photo ID was required to hear the person who is suing states for trying to require photo ID.  In July, Attorney General Eric Holder addressed the NAACP National Convention. What did media need in order to attend? That's right, government issued photo identification (and a second form of identification too!), something both Holder and the NAACP stand firmly against when it comes to voting.  

·       Attempts to keep Republicans home on Election Day.  The number of counties keeps increasing but as of 4 pm today, registered Republicans from 23 counties in Florida have received official-looking letters questioning their citizenship and stating if they voted without clearing it up, they could be facing a felony and jail time.  Of course, Florida is one of those states that both Governor Romney and Obama need on Nov. 6.  It is quite amazing what those liberals will come up with in order to win.

·       Required signs that state penalty for voter fraud be removed.  Anti-voter fraud billboards in Ohio and Wisconsin (140 total) are in the process of being removed due to complaints about voter suppression.  Ohio and Wisconsin are also crucial on-the-fence states.  Looks as if the Dems are encouraging voter fraud.  How else could they win?

Vodka for votes.  It was part of a scheme to steal an election in eastern Arkansas that included absentee ballot fraud and buying votes with money, food and even alcohol.
"I guess I always knew all along it was wrong, but I really didn't think it was that big a deal," explained former Democratic state Rep. Hudson Hallum. "I always heard ... that's what everybody did."

And we still have two weeks to go.  What else will they come up with?

Economy

10/22/2012

Obama has continued to blame President Bush for "an economic mess he inherited."  However, that is not true.  The day the Democrats took over was not Janiuary 22, 2009.  The democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate on January 3, 2007.  On that day:
  • Dow Jones closed at $12,621.77
  • GDP for previous quarter was 3.5%
  • Unemployment rate was 4.6%
  • George Bush's economic policies set a record of 52 straight months of job growth!

On Jan. 3, 2007 Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.  The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in BANKING & FINANCIAL SERVICES!
President Bush asked Congress 17 times to stop Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac (starting in 2001) because it was financially risky for the US economy.  

Who fought against reform of Fannie & Freddie?  OBAMA & THE DEMOCRAT CONGRESS.  Also, Obama took the third HIGHEST pay-off from Fannie & Freddie.

The Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 through 2012.  In 2008 Pelosi & Reid bypassed George Bush entirely and passed continuing resolutions to keep government running until Obama could take office.  At that time they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budgets.  Obama was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as president to complete 2009.

Any deficit the Democrats inherited was the 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets.  That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending!  After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending and that includes Obama who voted for the budgets.

Obama's Dismal Record:
  • 23 million unemployed or underemployed
  • 47 million on food stamps 
  • 5.5 million homes in crisis/foreclosure
  • $4,500 drop in annual household income
  • $5.5 trillion of new national debt
  • $716 billion in medicare cuts
  • $2.6 trillion for Obamacare
  • $1.9 trillion in new taxes in Obama's budget
  • 100% increase in gas prices

And remember Obama's promise to have the most transparent administration ever, with discussions on CSPAN?  Never happened!  As soon as the Democrats took control, they held meetings behind closed doors and would not consider any Rebublican input.  Once Republicans took control of the House in 2010, the Democrat-controlled Senate would not take up bills the House passed.  It is not the Republicans who are holding up work in Congress; it is the Democrats and Obama.  Allow me to put a quote in here:  For a moment, the lie becomes truth. ~ F. Dostoevsky.  I'm hoping & praying these lies are just for a time and on November 6 we can begin to straighten out this mess, a mess Obama & the Democrats keep distorting.

How do we explain the total incompetence of Obama's administration?  How can the president of a major nation and society talk about business when he's never worked for one?  Or about jobs when he has never really had one?  The same is true 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."  It's time to get a competent leader in the White House!

    After being brainwashed in college (especially during my Columbia University years), I went out into the real world and discovered the truth.  Over the years I have seen the way liberals ridicule and distort how conservatives & defenders of our Constitution view important issues in our country and the world.  I'm writing this blog to help present the truth on political issues.
