What's wrong with this picture?
WASHINGTON – President-elect Barack Obama named Nancy Killefer as his administration's chief performance officer, creating a new White House position as part of an effort to eliminate government waste and improve efficiency.
So, by creating more government, we're eliminating waste and improving efficiency? Who's this clown kidding? Creating a position that will need assistants, who'll need secretaries, clerks, office space, vehicles, travel allowances...and then, when they're caught up in corruption and misuse of funds, they'll establish an OVERSIGHT Committee...who'll need Regulators....good God, when does it end? Can't the liberal masses see they're merely shooting us all in the foot ?
The only thing this does is feed the ever increasing ego of Barack Obama...it will solve nothing, and cost us all more money. Can we not impeach a president-elect?

Here's an answer to the question posed by many atheists...whining about "God," and "Jesus," being used in the Inaugeration speech/prayer......TOO BAD!
It's absolutely sickening when I here that "these words," should be removed...merely to appease some numbskulled liberals, who would on a moment's notice, be crying these same words the minute a thug busts in their door, or a terrorist strike occurs...
If you stop and think for a minute, would you go to Iran and have them change a prayer because you didn't like it? No? Why? Because they BELIEVE in their religion, way of life...call it what you want...they support it through deep faith!
That's exactly the deficit we're having in this country...we don't believe because the libs and MSM have poisoned our community well....now, with throwing Obama up there as something to believe in, the fervor is there amongt the people, however, they're supporting the wrong guy...you should re-establish your faith in God, and not some skinny, corrupt politican.
I believe enough's enough...and if Obama picked Warren because he's truly a Christian and wants it that way, good for him for finally not voting "present," and making a decision. What it appears the liberals want is to have a bland, generic, anything goes country...where no one believes in supporting anything because it will "upset," someone. That's the point when you lose your country; when it's lost it's soul.

Recently, I wrote a letter to FOX 35, and to Ron Blocker of the Orange County Public School system. I've not heard from either.
It was on Ch9 news, I believe, a week or so ago that Ron Blocker decided to send 125 Jones HS students to Washington DC for the presidential inauguration. I asked him a few questions...but no answers yet.
1. IS this paid for with our tax dollars from the budget?
2. The same Budget you want to hack $10million from ?
3. Would you have done this had John McCain won?
4. Why Jones HS where the population's predominately black?
If the trip is paid for from privately raised funds, I have no problem. I do have a problem if a BLACK Superintendent, chooses to send a group of 125 students from a predominately BLACK highschool, to watch the first BLACK president sworn in....I have a big issue since it wreaks of racism...and not to mention irresponsibility, financially speaking, when the budget's in the red. No one wants to say it, so, Fox35...get on the stick and ask Blocker these questions! At a minimum...it's wasting our desperately needed school dollars. I am vehemently against it, if he's doing it merely because Obama's black....

If one could sit back and ponder the changes that liberals have voted into office; it's simply creating a hazard for the American way of life.....
The America of now is one where Orwellian logic rules.
Forced redistribution of wealth is fairness.
Taxes are patriotic.
The free market should be a regulated market.
Big government is good for you.
Politicians know what kind of healthcare is best for you.
Choice should be limited, except when it comes to abortion.
Power comes from being powerless.
Progressive education is designed to promote progress toward socialism.
Race doesn’t count unless a person of color tells you it counts.
Higher education gets lower each year.
Those who create our problems should be asked to solve them.
Religion should be a private matter that does not inform public morality.
Liberal is radical.
Free speech is selective speech.
Courage is impetuousness.
Yes, many Americans want change. The level of dissatisfaction runs deep. But the national cri de coeur hasn’t a direction. That’s what Obama, Pelosi and the rest of the liberal cronies so dangerous. As conservatives we must remain vigilant, we must stay prepared for I foresee a day of reckoning; and we simply cannot depend on the weak leaders that have been selected to run this country.

Watching the news last night this reporter, "John," asked Obama a question about the list that he (Obama) was to provide, or has provided to the feds about who he'd like to see replace him in the senate seat.
Well, once the reporter asked the question, Obama tried to warn him to, "....Not to waste his ONE question...." Kudos to the reporter for being persistent and asking the question again; slightl reformatted. However, again, Obama's jaws tightened (signaling he's lying and uncomfortable) and warned the reporter.
My question is this...."Who works for who?" For lack of a better term, the reporter is our voice in such situations, and the president-elect is soon to be OUR employee....so, like it or not, he needs to stop dodging uncomfortable questions, and answer his employers. Aren't libs the ones who want to get in everyone's bubble about "Fairness Doctrine," and freedom of information? Transparency? And he wants to censor or stifle a reasonable question that we have? The only thing that was transparent were his attempts to use the Feds as an excuse to buy more time to tweak his "story," he will provide.
He needs to be told that he's a public servant, and not at the head of his corrupt campaign any longer. The arrogance of this guy is unbelievable...
However, on the flipside, he's on the griddle now, and even the kool-aid swilling media are nipping at his heels....Nah, he didn't like that question at all why? Because Rezko flips Gov Rod, who'll flip Emanuel...who'll flip...hmmm ?

Below is a portion of an article from Yahoo.
CHICAGO – President-elect Barack Obama said Monday a review by his own lawyer shows he had no direct contact with Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich about the appointment of a Senate replacement, and transition aides did nothing inappropriate.
Obama pledged to make the review public, but said he decided to hold off because prosecutors asked for a delay and "I don't want to interfere with an ongoing investigation." U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald released a statement confirming the request.
It again reinforces the fact that Obama's about as dishonest as they come. Initially, when Gov Rod's story broke, Obama stated he and his staff have had no contact. Now, he's claiming, because he's had other lawyers look at it (and we know how honest they are) that now, there was nothing inappropriate that took place. Again, Obama feeding the masses kool-aid...because HE says it's ok, well it must be ok...right? Oh yeah, let's not forget the the term "direct contact." That's a favorite amongst the dirty elite. Now, by using another term of "pledging," he's once again feeding his sheep the magic pellets...and gee, what a coincident..that he didn't want to interfer with an ongoing investigation. Well, he didn't mind sending cronies to violate the plumber...or to find out how much Palin spent on her clothes....Face it libs, he's the dirty one, telling you and the rest of us to trust him; that he absolutely had no contact with Rod
"....I mean, I don't think my staff did...I mean if they did, it wasn't known to me...I mean, now that my lawyers investigated it...I have determined it wasn't inappropriate...but, I don't want to tell you right now, until the investigation's over..."
What a crock! I'm amazed that there are so many ignorant fools that voted this guy in office...Well, Obama, if you did nothing wrong, why not tell us..? Show us that real birth certificate too, that way you could come clean on two fronts...if possible.

"...Gov. Rod Blagojevich and his chief of staff, John Harris, were arrested today by FBI agents for what U.S. Atty. Patrick Fitzgerald called a "staggering" level of corruption involving pay-to-play politics in Illinois' top office.
Blagojevich is accused of a wide-ranging criminal conspiracy, including alleged attempts by the governor to try to sell or trade the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by President-elect Barack Obama in exchange for financial benefits for the governor and his wife. Blagojevich also is accused of obtaining campaign contributions in exchange for other official actions...."
I wonder how long before Rod implicates Obama into this fiasco, to save his own skin. Are there no honest people in Illinois? This type of corruption is what spawned our next president?
How long before there's a connection between Obama-Rezko-Blagojevich that reminds us of why most of the country didn't want him in office, yet the corrupt liberal agend pushed it through?

Watching the 10pm news last night...well, FOX you really went over the edge. Perhaps that segment should have been called, "National Enquirer - Live!"
At around 10:30pm, some brainchild at FOX thought it would be of interest to their viewing public to air, on the "news," about 6-7 minutes, maybe more, of jailhouse chit-chat between Casey and her daddy. Good Lord, can't we report on something else? I mean the content of the conversations have been beat to death over and over again....if something new pops up, I'm sure you won't miss a beat. However, as one of your long time viewers, you're testing my loyalties! We have a world in turmoil, economy in the pooper, we're electing a babbling liberal idiot, the big 3 are scamming our tax dollars....and you're reporting the same...absolutely the same trite, overdone story of this numbskull Casey Anthony....Here's a novel idea.....REPORT SOMETHING NEW ON THE NEWS!

I saw an article last night on Bill O'Reilly. It referenced an incident where a church service was in progress, and a bunch of gays or gay supporters started disrupting the service and began throwing leaflets about. Many of the churchgoers were somewhat shocked and just watched....for me, that would be the snapping point...I would've opened a can o' whoopa$$ right there in church. I am fed up with gays wanting MORE than equal treatment...I 'd like to see them walk into an all black, southern baptist church and try that...haha...I know a can would've been opened. However, everyone's having to cater to these wrongly-wired individual. I thank they should count their blessings that society is tolerating them to the extent they are. They are getting too much press coverage, too much favor, and heterosexuals, hell, I'll call them NORMAL folks, are having to sit and listen and observe this garbage.
I'm not a homophob, merely nauseatingly saturated with the constant onslaught these spectacles choose to make of themselves. Get your permit, march down the street...stand in a park with your rainbow signs...that's your right...come into my church, you need to act accordingly (that means like the rest of the folks in church)
"Act a fool?" ..well, I'm inclined to becoming a very UNwelcoming Christian...and will have to ask God for forgiveness later...on the other hand, he may like it, and SHOW ME FAVOR!

John Kennedy, Princess Diana...? LOL
Second chance?
that's not a since of grace, it's a sense of entitlement....I was in a restuarant on the dreadful morning after, to hear a black waitress say, "They ought to give us black folks the day off...." What does that mean...hmm...how come whitey didn't get a day off all these years? How come whitey isn't getting restitution for contributing and funding all the failing social programs.
No, what you voted into office is a racist, inexperienced agenda that will undermine, even further our nation's economy. The only hope we have now is for some reason he cannot accept office, is impeached for incompetence (well, if Clinton didn't get it, Obama's safe) and in 4 yrs, the conservatives cannot be complacent, and really have to start voter fraud investigations by ACORN much earlier.
I guarantee you that your since of "fulfillment," will quickly change to one of "emptiness," as you see the weekly tax deductions increase from your paycheck.
As CNN put it, "...We simply don't know how he's going to fund his agenda without raising taxes on others; without sliding the scale down to, perhaps as low as $59k/yr..." Now, without running to YOUTUBE...think about it....

As I stood in line at a local Wal-Mart the other day, ( you know, the long line where no one's in a hurry to help you) This old man told me:
"I remember when someone would fill your gas tank, wearing a tie...or when the folks at McDonald's actually said, "Thank you," and were courteous and displayed respect for others as well as themselves...people cared....it was days of good customer service. Now, it appears as though the same lousy customer service you get at Wal-Mart, or McDonald's has made it to the White House."
I chuckled at first, thinking it was slightly racist, but then the man and I joked about how "connected," Obama claims to be, "only electronically of course,"....the old man also stated,
"Maybe he'll install a drivethrough window in the White House, to give yet another illusion that he wants to serve us....."
But then as the old man walked away...I saw the wisdom in his statement...Yes, we now have that same level, that very same level, of dreadful customer service that we all despise....coming to the White House. In our country of impatient, "gotta have it now," spoiled Americans...well, that attitude, elevated an incompetent to run the country...I mean, just because your 15 yr old child CAN drive the car, you wouldn't let them take it to the mall, especially when they barely qualify for a learner's permit...

"U.S. Muslim leaders denounce al Qaeda's slur toward Obama"
This is a title from a CNN article...Amazing! How it typifies how American values have slid down the tube. We have foreign radical terrrorists bickering with domestic terrorists over what one said about Obama! Of course, it's a bunch of "African," American Muslims from New York....
"As Muslims and as Americans, we will never let terrorist groups or terror leaders falsely claim to represent us or our faith," the statement said. "We once again repudiate al Qaeda's actions, rhetoric and world view and re-state our condemnation of all forms of terrorism and religious extremism." (yeah, right!)
Shortly before that quote from the article, they reference when Malcolm X was shot 16 times..by now paroled members of the Nation of Islam...
So, is this a change of heart? US Muslims supporting self-proclaimed "Christian,"
President? What happened to being the infidel?
Nah,...it's all just another dirty branch of the Obama tree.....

This article was posted by CNN's Campbell Brown...she couldn't give Obama enough "love," during the election. Now, the very media that supported him, are identifying the weaknesse that we all knew existed...
(CNN) -- I want you to hear something President-elect Barack Obama said just about a year ago:
"I am running to tell the lobbyists in Washington that their days of setting the agenda are over. They have not funded my campaign. They won't work in my White House."
Just this weekend The New York times published a list of names -- a rather long list of names of people -- who are working on Obama's transition team or who have accepted jobs in his White House who are either former lobbyists or who have close ties to lobbyists.
The Times reports that some of those people were lobbying as recently as this year. Now, (and here's the "out," for the Obama cronies,) the Obama team is quick to point out that their rules and restrictions on lobbying ties are far stricter than any previous administration.
And the Obama folks (another "out," for the Obama cronies,) concede that eliminating anyone in Washington who had ever lobbied Congress or who has a family member who lobbied Congress would be foolish.
And it's true, you could argue the reality of Washington and our government is that lobbyists are often the most informed people on a given issue.
But we certainly never heard Obama articulate it quite that way when he was candidate Obama. What he said then was:
"That's what happens when lobbyists set the agenda and that's why they won't drown out your voices anymore when I am president of the United States of America."
And that is a promise that he may already be struggling to keep.

I watched 60 Minutes last night. They interviewed the Obama's. I 've never seen her talk so much in Barack's presence. I now know that she's going to have MAJOR influence in our country's steering. That's bad because she's quite the racist in my opinion. Many times during the interview, she overtalked and shut Barack down....to silence....he would look down as if he was a whipped puppy. Now, with her background, to include racist college papers, Anti-American remarks...well, looks like Hillary all over again, however, with an Anti-white twist. She doesn't have a white momma...and doesn't ride the fence of being half white/half black.....I foresee her creating many special interests solely for minorities...at our expense. She's clever, manipulative and angry....

Since the election was not won, but handed over to Obama, the market's tanked. At the bottom of this post are the daily open/close prices of the DJIA. Some points to note:
Time frame: 5 - 14 Nov, 8 days of mkt activity.
total mkt drop: -1119.29 points, or daily avg decline of -139.91. This reflects that the market has no confidence in Obama as a leader and economic answer. He has no experience dealing with finance, and those he's selected are bumbling libs who want to spread the wealth, as long as it's not theirs (See articles about Obama giving cash, iPods, and laptops to campaign personnel...gee, I wonder if any of those homeless guys ACORN rounded up got any of that cash) anyway....
6 of 8 days were negative: The two positive days can, and have been historically contributed to fund mgrs selling off, i.e., manipulating mkts.
Now, I know a couple libs out there will want to dispute this; and say the market's been going down...etc...however, the market's seen it's worst time in Bush's administration, since the dem congress started it's manipulation 2 yrs ago. Now, since the "disaster," Obama has obtained the office, there's no miracle rebound, as many thought (the same that thought he was going to pay for their mortgage and gas in their car..) So, come Jan, the market will be worse. Once in office, he'll raise taxes, causing more hardship on businesses, who'll subsequently lose profit, and close or reduce staff....or move overseas where there's lower taxes. Corporations will not remain in this country if Obama starts taxing them heavily....how stupid can he be? More and more people will be on welfare, food stamps..unemployment....yes, libs, congratulations..you've elected a RECESSION. I'll assign fault as well to Bush and the current administration for careless spending, but it's obvious that the beginning of the end was when congress became democratically controlled and Pelosi's plastic face came on the scene. Never, in the history of this nation, or any nation, has the answer to economic plight amongst the people been to add taxation...or control to stifle new business. You definitley do not attack current businesses where folks are already working (see Obama's "let's tax the big corporations," agenda). Thanks libs, once again...pushing your illogical agenda that is founded on only God know's what....is going to hurt the entire nation. Everyone remember this...and vote Obama out of office. Let's start 21 Jan 09. The first measure to rebound the country out of debt? Stop all monetary assistance to illegals; period. Push your local government and representatives. We spend more in this country pandering and supporting illegals, than on the war in Iraq...neither of the candidates wanted to touch it, since they wanted the hispanic vote....but that's an easy start. Kick them back to Mexico, creating jobs for Americans...and saving millions in tax support...simple first step.
