At a Democratic fundraiser in Miami, Obama expressed his amusement while touting tax cuts in the stimulus measure. According to CNN news, Obama was quoted as saying ‘So I’ve been amused in recent days by these people having rallies,” he told the crowd at the fundraiser to laughter. “I think they should be saying thank you.”
So if there was any doubt whether or not 0bama “gets” the Tea Party or not, let me be perfectly clear. No. He doesn’t.

No big surprise here. The health-care bill President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and other (dare this Presidential-Race news reporter say it?) IGNORANT politicians will be as corrupt and full of special projects as it is long. Examples:
1. A Senate-approved health measure lawmakers hope to send to Obama soon would steer $600 million over the next decade to Vermont in added federal payments for Medicaid, and;
2. nearly as much to Massachusetts.
3. Connecticut would get $100 million to build a hospital.
4. About 800,000 Florida seniors could keep certain Medicare benefits.
5. Asbestos-disease victims in tiny Libby, Mont., and some coal miners with black lung disease or their widows would get help.
6. There are various “prizes” for Louisiana, the Dakotas and more states.
In other words, damn the torpedos, the Democratic Senators in no uncertain terms will allow themselves to be compromised at ANY cost just to complete this task. Reaffirming this is the quote from the office of Democratic Senator of Nevada – Mr. Proponent of health-care reform himself – Harry Reid. “We’re going to do what we have to do to get a bill out of the House and Senate,” said James Manley, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.
Never before has the United States seen such dedication of the Senate to undermine the health and financial well-being of the citizens of the United States.
My fellow Americans. Stop this Senate abomination, by voting out the Democrat Senate “leadership” in 2010.

As written by Scott Wilson at the WashingtonPost.com, President Obama rejected in an interview Tuesday the criticism that he has compromised too much in order to secure health-care reform legislation, challenging his critics to identify any “gap” between what he campaigned on last year and what Congress is on the verge of passing.
He must have conveniently forgotten his campaign promise:

UNBELIEVEABLE! Tim Phillips – reporting for American’s For Prosperity (@ http://americansforprosperity.org/national-site) – tells his readers the unimaginable. That the Democratic Senators SHUT THEIR CELL PHONES OFF to avoid the multiple calls from constituents that are protesting the government takeover of the health-care system as they prepared for an early 1:17am vote. Sadly, these Senators are now ignoring the voice of the common people who voted them in to represent their needs of the state they represent. An abomination. TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION – history DOES repeat itself.
The deals being cut to gain solidarity of the Democratic Senators needed to pass the bill are sickening – cited examples from Mr. Phillips writings:
1. Senator Ben Nelson got an unprecedented deal to force federal taxpayers to pick up 100% of the cost of Nebraska’s Medicaid expansion–forever.
2. Connecticut’s Senator, Christopher Dodd, got a $100 million earmark for a hospital at the University of Connecticut.
3. Vermont Senators Pat Leahy and Bernie Sanders, who had been threatening to oppose the bill from the Left, got an extra $250 million in Medicaid funding.
4. In Florida, Senator Bill Nelson got three counties carved out of Medicare Advantage cuts that will happen everywhere else in the country.
5. The “Louisiana Purchase” where Reid and Obama paid $300 million of our taxpayer dollars to the pet projects of Senator Landrieu to secure her vote.
What did this deliver for voters?? Increased premiums for many Americans, higher taxes, and nearly $500 billion in cuts to the Medicare coverage many seniors rely on. It still isn’t too late to have an impact on this debate. All it will take is for ONE reasonable Democrat to vote ‘No’, to stop Harry Reid’s takeover of your health care.
All pork-barrel spending, all behind the scenes – so much for Obama’s pledge of transparency - this is anything but.
To top it off, it turns out that Obama has pulled a 180-degree change
Watch the YouTube footage – facts are facts. Impeachment appears to be the only option to force this to a stop. Call your Democratic Senators and DEMAND they withdraw their support. Find your lawmaker and tell they what you think, by starting here: http://www.congress.org/. Then, if your Senator is a Democrat, ask if they are the ONE reasonable elected official that isn’t scared to take a stand and vote ‘No’ to stop Harry Reid and Barack Obama’s takeover of your health care.
AGAINST WHAT HE STATED WHEN RUNNING FOR ELECTION TO HIS CURRENT OFFICE!!

Barack is ignorant of how the banking system and regulations work. It is that simple. Look at the facts – as cited by Seeking Alpha author Tom Brown.
In the December 16 edition of Seeking Alpha, Mr. Brown (one of the most respected Wall Street analysts of financial-services stocks in the 1980s and 1990s) goes at length on the intelligence shortfalls Barack has displayed. While the President has been soliciting CEOs of the banks to lend more (his right hand), regulators are doing all they can to ensure that banks keep their lending to a minimum (his left hand).
So the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing, and Barack has control of nothing. Interested to read of Mr. Brown’s insightful article? Copy/paste the URL to your browser address line

While Barack is not responsible for some of the mess the financial institutions and “the Fed” are in, he sure is aggravating the heck out of “the system” – making it worse with trillion-dollar stimulus spending, the minimally influential cash-for-clunkers, the banking-system bailout (TARP), a proposed government health-care take-over and an out-of-control deficit. Now the question on the global “street”? Is the dollar too big to fail?
