Reason # 745, 329 a Community Organizer shouldn't be President

Spreading around money that we don't have, President Mo' Money has pledged $124 Million for the new Caribbean Basin Security Initiative (CBSI). These funds will be used to combat illegal drug trafficking, strengthen regional defense and provide employment training & educational opportunities for the general public and at-risk youth in Caribbean states.

Even more alarming than this is that in ignoring our sky-rocketing unemployment rates, our national security & the regional defense of our one friend in the Middle East, BHO is giving $400 Million of our money that we don't have to a known terrorist group!

From the Washington Times --

Calling the situation in the Gaza Strip "unsustainable," President Obama on Wednesday said the Israeli blockade of the area should be curbed to focus only on weapons and separately announced a new $400 million aid package to help the Palestinian people there and in the West Bank.

Mr. Obama made the comments after meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in the Oval Office, where the two said they discussed how to allow more goods and services into the region, which has been the target of an airtight blockade by Israel aimed at preventing arms shipments.

Mr. Obama faulted the blockade for barring basic supplies from flowing into Gaza, though he acknowledged Israel's interest in keeping rockets out of the hands of the militant Hamas movement. He said that "there should be ways of focusing narrowly on arms shipments, rather than focusing in a blanket way on stopping everything."

Besides his presidency being consistent with a full frontal assault on our Constitution & is "unsustainable" to us keeping our rights protected within this contract, BHO is ignoring warnings from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke that his out of control spending & the ever increasing federal entitlement programs equal to $53 trillion in unfunded liabilities are also "unsustainable" and has our country barreling down the path to an unrecoverable financial ruin.

Implying Isreal's blockade has the poor residents of Gaza fighting for food scraps with rats in the street is nothing more than state-sponsored propaganda. Gazan market shelves filled with food, children's toys, Olympic sized-swimming pools and 5-star like restaurants can hardly be considered an airtight blockade.

By clicking here, you can see pictures that show this is hardly the humanitarian crisis as being portrayed by President Obama -- our Fabricator in Chief.

Even some of Obama's supporters are questioning the truthfulness of his claims and are taking issue with his giving away our money to a known terrorist group that has sworn the destruction of Israel.....

It is one thing to send aid to a country. But it's another to pledge aid to an area run by known terrorists. That is exactly what President Barack Obama has done. (Kentucky Democrat Blog)

Agreeing with Rep. Mike Pence, one has to question exactly who's side this guy is on!

Here Comes the Double Dip Recession

From Dick Morris (via New Patriot Journal) --

The drop in the stock market (now about 1,000 pts on the Dow) is a graphic indication of the stark fact that we are entering the infamous double dip of the recession, long feared and predicted.

The economy is not in a V after all (down and then up) but in a W (down, up, down again, and then, finally, up). And the cause of the second dip is not the recession itself, but the cure administered to it by President Obama and the Democratic Congress.

Consider the indications (data provided by New America Foundation, analysis by Sherle R. Schwanninger and Samuel Sherraden):

• GDP growth has only been 2.2%, 5.6%, and 3.2% for each of the last three quarters, well below the rebounds typical in past recessions.

• Total civilian employment has rebounded by only 1% since the depth of the unemployment five months ago. In 1973, at a comparable point, it had rebounded by 7%. In 1981 by 8%. In 1990 by 4%. And in 2001 by 3%. U-6, the broadest measure of unemployment stands at 17.1% and we need 12.8 million new jobs.

• Housing prices have dropped by 30% since 2006 and “many economists expect housing prices to decline at least another 10%” according to Schwanninger and Sherraden.

• While corporate profits are 30.6% higher than one year ago, wages are up by only 1.6%, less than half their rate of increase two years ago.

• Financial sector profits make up 35.7% of all domestic corporate profits. These gains are driven by trading revenue which does not reflect real economic growth. Schwanninger and Sherraden report that “In the first quarter of 2010, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Bank of America earned 72%, 45%, and 16% of their net revenue [respectively] from trading profits.”

• Personal savings dropped from a high of almost 6% to 2.7% in March, 2010 so households have cut their debt by just $300 billion since it peaked in 2008. So household debt, which rose from 60% of GDP in 1990 to almost 100% in 2008, has only dropped to 97%. It has a long, long way to go before it goes down enough to free consumers to spend more.

• Meanwhile, retail sales have averaged only a 1.7% increase over the past three quarters, half of which was merely to restock inventories. Schwanninger and Sherraden note that “in a typical recovery, the rebound is closer to 3.5%.” And most of that increase is due to expanding government cash transfer payments which now make up 18.3% of personal income. “Excluding transfer payments, personal income increased just 0.3% since the third quarter of 2009.”

• And stimulus spending, which has failed to generate private sector growth, is now winding down. Only 43% of the tax benefits and entitlement spending remain to be doled out as does 63% of the contracts, grants and loans in the stimulus package.

• The strengthening of the dollar due to the collapse of the Euro will dry upp US export trade. Exports to EU nations account for 21% of American and 20% of Chinese exports. Schwanninger and Sherraden note that “A European slowdown will reduce demand for the two primary engines of world economic growth.”

But this second downturn in the economy will be accompanied by inflation, making it worse than the first recession. With interest rates set to rise (because the fed is no longer massively purchasing securities to keep them down), taxes set to go up (because of Obama’s ideology), and global energy use about to increase sending prices higher (because the rest of the world is recovering), prices have to go up. But with no growth in real personal income and household credit close to all time highs, there is not enough demand to pay the higher prices, so a deeper slump will ensue.

The solution? Cut – don’t raise – taxes. And bring down the deficit through massive spending cuts. Reduce our borrowing needs by slashing our spending. Free up capital to feed job growth.

It should be evident to all that Obamanomics is a disaster. It reminds one of nothing so much as the Medieval practice of bleeding the patient to make him well by expelling the evil spirits that dwelt within. When the patient did not recover, they just bled him more and, when he died, they just said that the spirits killed him. The practice of spending, borrowing, and then taxing to fuel job growth is the modern analogy.

No Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants; Contact Senator George Voinovich TODAY!

Patriots,

The Grassroots Rally Team of Ohio is asking everyone join us in calling and faxing Senator Voinovich's Columbus office on Thursday June 10th at 3:00 P.M. We need to let him know there are Ohioans that oppose amnesty. We need the phones ringing while Reform Immigration For America is in his office demanding amnesty.

Senator George Voinovich
Phone Number: 614-469-6697
Fax Number: 614-469-7733

Below is the event being planned by Reform Immigration for America --

We can all agree that our current immigration system is broken. Families and communities are being torn apart by raids, fear, and hatred.

The longer Senator Voinovich and others wait to act on immigration reform, the more people suffer and the more the American dream is deferred for millions of people.

This Thursday is your chance to tell Senator Voinovich that the time to end the suffering is now. Supporters will rally by High Street at the Ohio Statehouse at 3 PM this Thursday. Then we’ll march to Senator George Voinovich’s office to demand his support for real immigration reform.

If you are unable to call Senator Voinovich's office today at 3pm, please make sure to contact his office sometime through the day and let him know you oppose any Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants. Remind Senator Voinovich Immigration Reform is not needed -- we already have laws to become a U.S. citizen.

Constitution now comes with a Disclaimer!

Keep Out Kagan Day

From Medina Tea Party Patriots --

Principles to consider when evaluating a Supreme Court nominee

1. As the Supreme Court nomination of Elena Kagan is upon us, Tea Party Patriots has adopted the following set of principles to consider when evaluating any Supreme Court nominee. We invite you to encourage the Senate to use these principles as they are making decisions regarding the current and future Supreme Court nominees.

2. Judges must interpret the Constitution of the United States as written and not attempt to modify it, either by inventing new rights or by ignoring or diluting rights already there. The Constitution already provides an amendment process that gives that power to the people and their elected officials.

3. Judges must not use their positions to replace the text of the law and Constitution of the United States with their own personal feelings or agenda or "life experiences." Nor should they allow empathy, political favor, or political identification to affect their legal decisions. To do so is to engage in judicial activism.

4. Judges must understand that the Federal government has no power if the Constitution does not explicitly provide it. The Founders did this to maximize personal and economic liberty. The Constitution reserves all other rights to the states and to the people.

5. Judges must respect the delicate checks and balances and the separation of powers among the branches of government, refusing to become a tool of either the Legislative or Executive branches, and they must be prepared to invalidate efforts of either branch to overstep its constitutionally delegated powers.
   
   The Constitution is an American document, and declares that it shall be "the supreme Law of the Land." Foreign law has no place as precedent or authority in the interpretation of the Constitution.

“Keep out Kagan” day

Based on the principles created by the Tea Party Patriots listed above, we are joining various organizations including Eagle Forum and the Young Conservatives Coalition in asking concerned citizens to participate in the "Keep out Kagan" call campaign.

As the Senate decides whether to confirm Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court, we want to send a clear message to Senators Voinovich and Brown that we deserve an experienced judge who believes in free speech and capitalism.

On Tuesday, June 8th, Please take the time to call the Congressional switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and tell our Senators to “Keep out Kagan.”

Happy Memorial Day 2010

The Cleveland Tea Party Patriots salute all our veterans & soldiers. Please take time today & remember our fallen warriors & those currently serving...

Without their sacrifice - we would have no Nation for God to Bless!
