A Welcomed Flash from the Past

Seeing the news reports of the former President George Bush on the Fox Network this morning was reassuring and heartwarming. I've needed a Classy Act fix and it came across the airwaves today. I appreciate his candor and calmness in handling the insults and callous comments by President Obama and the White House staff.

President Obama displays a negative aspect to his personality to be so cruel in his attitude and words toward a previous president. As reported many times, it is a courtesy to not speak ill of a previous president, but President Obama has broken all the rules. President Obama's lack of judgement for proper protocol is a good example of lack of class and sensibility.

We have a prime example of President Obama's irresponsibility for protocol when we think about the gift he gave the Queen. If you have visited any of our President's Libraries or Museums you realize the value of the gifts that are exchanged by the heads of states of other countries. Thinking of the gifts I have seen displayed at the Eisenhower and Reagan Libraries, I certainly never saw anything as cheap as an iPod, meaning, the gifts received not only had material value beyond the cost of an iPod plus the gift was a representation of a country. I certainly don't think a recording of President Obama's speeches would be of any real value to the Queen, although, that is just my humble opinion.

I am anxious to visit George W. Bush's library when it is completed in Dallas, Texas. I will look specifically for the gifts that were given to he and Laura by the other heads of countries.

The campaign promises of change by then Senator Obama have certainly come full circle. His nomination of a Hispanic Woman to the Supreme Court is a good thing on the surface, but to note that she is regarded of a woman who is ready to continue with a practice of reverse discrimination as per her ruling with regard to the white Firemen in New Haven, Conn. With Obama's election to President, we have to content with a government ruled by hypocrites. Our country will never survive - we have worked hard to screen out those who do not believe in Inalienable Rights for all citizens and now it seems we are almost back to ground zero starting all over. Equality will be in the eye's of the beholder or those in the pockets of President Obama and his staff of contributers.

In another news report, a reporter wrote today on the Black Panther court judgement which was overturned and said if the persons involved had been the Klu Klux Klan in dress present at a voting precinct - there would be no pardons. If you were approached by an individual swinging a night stick as you were entering the voting place, wouldn't you feel intimidated or possibly be frightened - I know I would! My dear friend "A" shared her thoughts with me before the election outcome was known that she feared this stirring of modern day discrimination would happen. She was right. There are many I know who do not see the color of the skin or hear the accent in the voice, but look for kindness and generosity and ability to fulfill what they are required, nothing more than I expect from myself daily.

He's Here! President Obama is here!

Yes, marvelous isn't it - President Obama is here in Las Vegas, the entertainment center of the universe, the place he practically ruined with one stupid comment. Our Governor - Jim Gibbons - has declined the invitation to meet President Obama at the plane to shake his hand. Some say it is an opportunity to tell the President what's on his mind and he shouldn't have passed it up, but I think it was a good snub. I've been wrong and what do I know anyhow. All I know is what I feel and that is agitation. The comment our President made several months ago referring to businesses coming to Las Vegas was just another nail the the Las Vegas coffin which affected many thousands of workers and many businesses here in the valley.

I think his comments were a huge slap in the face to the culinary union who supported him big time. The majority of those union workers were either laid off or their wages cut or time cut. My son works at one of the strip hotels and his time was cut. He is lucky to work two shifts a week even on a holiday weekend. But, I am sure the union still catered to him and appeared in full support when he arrived at the airport.

There were tickets on sale to see the President. What a joke! Why would I or anyone want to PAY to see our president? It should be his honor if people show up by their own desires to want to see him, why should they pay?

His primary purpose for coming to Las Vegas is to pump up support for our Senator Harry Reid, but I'm not sure his visit is going to help. I understand Senator Reid's coffers already contain some large amount of dollars. I haven't heard how the fund raiser went last night. I do know a lot of Nevadans are not happy with Senator's Reid's holier than thou attitude and the President's appearance may be a waste of time. I noticed this morning on our CBS early morning local news the clip of Senator Reid as he walked across the stage to speak, he was limping. He and many other senators are getting old, maybe it is time to put these guys out to retirement pasture and let some fresh thinkers do the jobs. Guys like Chris Dodd and other like him are the ones who are suppose to be guarding the country's business and they are the ones with their hands in the pot.

Memorial Day

Did you hear the one about Obama and the kid's crying?

I know this may be old news to some but I just can't get it out of my mind!!! Here's a link to the story! I know the President Bush administration wouldn't be so cruel - he'd find a way regardless of the time element for the school children to see the White House. I wonder who on the White House staff dismissed the 100 kindergartner's who saved and paid their money for a tour? I haven't seen any apologies or good deed by President Obama to make up for the disappointments. I think this deed really stinks. How low can you get!!!

Where was Michelle? I wonder how they would feel if it had been the two Obama girls turned out by another administration?

Just another action by the infamous "change" administration - is it change from being friendly to being "holier than thou?"

Michelle, Michelle, How Does Your Garden Grow?

I've been under the weather for a while and can't quite get my mind around all the stuff in the news with our President, so today I'll just take it easy. Ok, just a change - a tiny bit, while you all take on Obama, I'd like to say a few words about another member of the Obama family. Nothing earth shattering, but just a case of down right curiosity. I'd really like to get a gander at Michelle's garden. The last time I saw anything written about Michelle was when she wore the same dress she wore a couple of months ago to some shinding. Gee! I wouldn't have noticed if the press, who was that by the way that brought the "same dress wearing" to our attention. A fashion mortal sin to wear the same garb in such a close time frame. It was a bright flowery thing which would draw attention anyhow, no wonder they remembered what it looked like.

I am waiting for Michelle to appear at the garden's edge to plant something - it's time you know. I think the last frost has passed in D. C. so time to get those tomato plants, peppers, lettuce, etc, in the ground, and so those seeds. I wonder which part of the yard they dug up for Michelle's garden? Will there be a tour to the area to see Michelle's garden grow? I want to see her and the girls out there tending the soil and pulling the weeds like committed garden growers do. I've pulled a few weeds and canned a few fresh vegetables in my days. Hhmmmm, ain't nothing better than fresh from the garden lima beans and tomatoes. Yummy!

Let Fredom Ring - National Day of Prayer

"I want my country back"

A dear friend wrote that to me in an email this afternoon. I had sent her an article another friend had sent me and this is what was in the article:

Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2009 08:28:26 -0500
Whether you are an Obama fan, or not, EVERYONE IN THE U. S. needs to know....
Something happened... H.R. 1388 was passed yesterday, behind our backs. You may want to read about it. It wasn't mentioned on the news... just went by on the ticker tape at the bottom of the CNN screen.
Obama funds $20M in tax payer dollars to immigrate Hamas Refugees to the USA . This is the news that didn't make the headlines...
By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered the expenditure of $20.3 million in "migration assistance" to the Palestinian refugees and "conflict victims" in Gaza .
The "presidential determination", which allows hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the United States , was signed on January 27 and appeared in the Federal Register on February 4.
Few on Capitol Hill, or in the media, took note that the order provides a free ticket replete with housing and food allowances to individuals who have displayed their overwhelming support to the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January 2006.
Let's review...itemized list of some of Barack Obama's most recent actions since his inauguration:
His first call to any head of state, as president, was to Mahmoud Abbas, leader of Fatah party in the Palestinian territory.
His first one-on-one television interview with any news organization was with Al Arabia television.
His first executive order was to fund/facilitate abortion(s) not just here within the U. S. , but within the world, using U. S. tax payer funds.
He ordered Guantanamo Bay closed and all military trials of detainees halted.
He ordered overseas CIA interrogation centers closed.
He withdrew all charges against the masterminds behind the USS Cole and the "terror attack" on 9/11.
Now we learn that he is allowing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refuges to move to, and live in, the US at American taxpayer expense.
These important, and insightful, issues are being "lost" in the blinding bail-outs and "stimulation" packages."

The article was followed up by documentation from the Federal Register, and you can read it here

Unfortunately, I do not know the author of the article, but the report from the Federal Register substantiates the charges in the article.

Before the Obama administration leaves office, I worry how much of our freedom we will leave and what our country will represent. He was voted into office because he offered Change and he is living up to that promise in a big way. The Obama voters, I believe, were naive to say the leave.

Jeb Bush - will he lead us in the future?

There is an interesting article in the Washington Times this morning, you can read it here. Jeb Bush points out our need to move beyond the Ronald Reagan era of thinking. He also mentions adopting some of the strategies of the Obama policies for winning. I am inclined to agree with the moving on idea. We have to point our policies to what the younger voters would be dealing with as they grow older. It is a techie world and the population of this era have no clue what it was like to grow up during World War Two or even before that of the depression. The depression to the younger voters is a news clip on the CNN network as it relates to the way the Dems blame the Bush administration for the Recession.

We've been marching down the same lane for several years now. Obama and his family are young and vibrant. The girls look so normal and active which every middle class family can relate to. Michelle is out talking the talk and touching families, especially military families, and this brings in the votes. I know that talking is good, but when will the talking relate to the doing and something getting done. And, that's the rest of the story, but the people aren't looking at that, they are an impatient group and what they see is what they think they're going to get.

Take the iPod, mini computers, instant messaging, twittering - that's the group we need to fit into. Yes, I know, conservatives twit too - I am a progressive older person and I have all those techie toys, but I know in my wisdom Jeb Bush is right. We have to direct our talk to another degree. Using an old cliche - we have to think out of the box.

I love Laura Bush, Barbara Bush, and even Lady Bird Johnson - their reign as first ladies went beyond the time they spent in the White House, but I'll bet you the youngers don't even know what Lady Bird Johnson accomplished, and probably don't care unless their Texans. So in retrospect, the Republicans need to heed Jeb Bush's advice and get off their duffs and get planning.

I am having a very difficult time dealing with the news every morning of some Obama administration employee making an ass out of the United States. This morning it was Eric Holder. Yuck! he sends creepy shivers up my spine. He's another story.

How bad can the economy get?

Couldn't resist posting this today when I am at a loss for words. I'm sure you've received this in an email but the image is worth mentioning our need for serious prayer at this time to help us through it all!

Would also like to mention the loss of a great Republican - Jack Kemp. I was shocked when I read the report on my network news link early this morning. The reports state Mr. Kemp just found the cancer in January. Our prayers go out to his wife and children.
