My fellow Amnericans...

The speech he should give.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/editorials/2011-01-24-editorial24_ST_N.htm

Tax changes...1/4 of the long-term deficit...controlling spending the other 3/4.
The real crisis-exploding growth in benefits.
In 20 years we could ELIMINATE THE ENTIRE FEDERAL GOV-EXCEPT FOR THOSE PARTS THAT PAY BENEFITS AND SERVICE DEBT-AND STILL HAVE A DEFICIT!

This doesn't impress anybody?

Sell out Britain?

This can't be accurate. Makes Obama look like a push-over and not a man that can drive a hard bargain.

Obama-Hire more people

Posted By Mel Maki

Obama told business leaders to hire more people. You know they could. Also, they have to share the wealth.

I won't be surprised if this proves to be true.

Undermining British Nuclear Deterrent

A Brit would be sentenced up to 60 years for this. When Obama does it for short-term political gain, it is called statesmanship.

Did his father share some misconceptions about the British Empire's record in Kenya? Returning the Churchil bust, talk of putting BP under his "boot," calling Sarkozy's France "our closest and best ally," and giving cds of his speeches as gifts isn't reassuring.

Incompetence

Posted By Mel Maki

During a hearing yesterday Intelligence Director James Clapper sounded like an aging hippie with rose colored glasses and completely misread the situation with the Muslim Brotherhood. The White House quickly corrected him. A few weeks ago in a tv interview with other top security people he was completely unaware of a major set of terror arrests that made headlines the day before. The WH said he had not yet been briefed about the sweep and said he was "the consummate DNI." Did his politics or his ability get him this job? It is proof this position isn't needed.

recall madness

Posted By Mel Maki

Our gov was determined to save us from that corporation Toyota. Even got the execs and took turns dragging them through the mud. Stop driving those cars. Bring them in for repairs. The best engineers found nothing. It was all BS.

Drill Everywhere

Posted By Mel Maki

The rising oil prices will kill our economy. $120 will hurt us badly and it looks like it won't stop there. Now is the time for a smart president to drill, drill, everywhere. It doesn't require taxpayer dollars. The good jobs are desperately needed. Does Obama really believe green energy will spur the economy now? Oil, oil, natural gas, natural gas. This could be one of the biggest decisions in his presidency. Certainly a huge decision for our economy. If he sticks with his belief that gas should cost 5 and 6 dollars a gallon he shouldn't be anywhere near the oval office.
