Barack Obama Declares War on Investors, Entrepreneurs, Businesses, And … Our American Economy

And socialism took over America under the guise of “Change you can Believe In” as people naively looked on and waited for their redistribution of wealth only to realize that they were by definition, the wealthy. Obama is what we said he was … a tax and spend liberal (socialist). How many of you that voted for change thought you were voting for socialism, even though you had been warned?

As Larry Kudlow stated … Obama is declaring war on investors, entrepreneurs, small businesses, large corporations, and private-equity and venture-capital funds. As The Astute Blogger very well states, OBAMA IS ATTACKING THE VERY HEART AND SOUL OF THE ECONOMY.

Let me be very clear on the economics of President Obama’s State of the Union speech and his budget.

He is declaring war on investors, entrepreneurs, small businesses, large corporations, and private-equity and venture-capital funds.

That is the meaning of his anti-growth tax-hike proposals, which make absolutely no sense at all — either for this recession or from the standpoint of expanding our economy’s long-run potential to grow.

Reefer Madness … More Obama Change, This Time with Rules on Medical Marijuana

BARACK OBAMA REEFER MADNESS … LEGALIZED MEDICAL MARIJUANA

Stoners of America unite as here is a medical marijuana change you can believe in from the Obama Administration.  Obama said in an interview in March that it was “entirely appropriate” for a state to legalize the medical use of marijuana “with the same controls as other drugs prescribed by doctors.” It would appear as if Obama is about to make yet another change when it comes to Rules on medical marijuana.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is sending strong signals that President Obama – who as a candidate said states should be allowed to make their own rules on medical marijuana – will end raids on pot dispensaries in California.

Asked at a Washington news conference Wednesday about Drug Enforcement Administration raids in California since Obama took office last month, Holder said the administration has changed its policy.

The Dying Art of Handwriting? A Random Thought from Dugga

A recent article from the BBC asks if we’ll still be writing by hand at all 100 years from now.

“A century from now, our handwriting may only be legible to experts.”

A good question, indeed. I was trying to think of the last time I used “handwriting”. In 2nd grade, when I was taught the skill, we called it “cursive.” A few years later, as teachers would allow, my “cursive” writing gave way to “printed” letters. Now, my signature is little more than a scribble, and when pressed to do so, I admit to having trouble remembering how to form an uppercase “S” or differentiate between a lowercase “z” and “g”.

My desk at work is cluttered with chicken-scratch scribblings on yellow post it notes, but none of these amount to anything more than cheat-sheets or disposable reminders. Even in meetings when note-taking is required, I fire up my laptop and begin typing rather than grab a legal pad.

Perhaps I’m unique in that I spend 12 hours per day behind a keyboard. Spiral notebooks and fine writing utensils won’t be found among my business tools.

What are we losing by moving to a keyboard-based form of text communication? Does it even matter?

I’m interested in what you think, Monkeys.  Of course, you will need to type in your response!

Obama Continues to Spend (09 Budget) & Deficit Goes Up and 59% of Americans Believe Government is the Problem

In the end most Americans know exactly who the problem is … American wanted Change; however, this might just be change no one can live with.

Obama and the Democrats think that they are riding in with a white hat on a horse to save the day for the American people. Sadly, these delusional people think they really are the answer and Obama really believes he is The Chosen One.

However, intelligent, thinking Americans know better. In a recent Rasmussen poll (the only person who called the 2008 Presidential election correctly) 59% of Americans believe that government is not the solution, but the problem. Obama’s current wave of popularity is based on one thing, he is new and people want to believe. Wait until the economy reacts adversely to his policy when average Americans feel a direct impact.

… a Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 59% of U.S. voters agreed with Ronald Reagan that “government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.”

Since then, the stock market has fallen roughly 3,000 points, millions of jobs have been lost, nearly a trillion dollars has been spent so far to bail out the financial industry, an additional $787-billion government stimulus package has been approved, and a new president has taken office who has proposed spending billions and billions more.

Despite all that, a new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey shows that the basic views of the American people have not change: 59% of voters still agree with Reagan’s inaugural address statement. Only 28% disagree, and 14% are not sure.

Powerline asks what is our future under Obama rule, 1930’s Dust Bowl Days?

Why We Love DILBERT: Bailout Hearing … Fact Finding in Aruba … Political Hypocrites

Why DILBERT gets the bailout right:

Finally, it takes a comic strip like DILBERT to provide truth in the media. Who else finds it interesting that of all the places to travel in the world that DILBERT would equate with hypocrites, Scott Adams chooses Aruba.

DILBERT AND THE BAIL OUT HEARINGS – HYPOCRITES

A satirical comic is worth a thousand words, maybe even ten thousand words. The above DILBERT masterpiece could not have stated the political hypocrisy any better. The fact that there was an Aruba reference just adds to its greatness. The fact that Aruba’s referenced with bailout and hypocrisy is no coincidence.

The sheeple in America want to have government take care of them. Do you really, at what cost? Barak Obama believes the government is the only answer to the economic crisis and not hard working America. After trillions of dollars are spent on obvious pork barrel spending at the future tax payers expense what are we left with?

Do you as Americans really want to be help hostage and beholden to people who have actually caused the problem? I have stated this since the economic issues began. Congress, the Senate, the President all act like they care and are appalled at what corporate America has done … yet they are all the biggest hypocrites.

What Happened to Jason Holley: Missing Since January 5, 2009 … At Risk? Endangered?

Did you know that Jason Holley is missing … you do now.

As the media only focuses only on a few missing person cases that they feel provides them ratings, let us inform you about one you probably never heard of. It is the story of 22 year old missing Jason Holley from Colorado Springs, CO. He has been missing since January 5, 2009 and I would dare say with the exception of local media has never been referenced.

A note to the MSM, you can walk and chew gum at the same time, I think. There are other cases of missing people other than in Florida and they unfortunately go missing in all different genders and ages.

However, Blink on Crime has the scoop of this interesting case of a missing adult who has Klinefelter Syndrome. As in all missing adult cases law enforcement is presented with a catch 22 as to whether the individual is missing and may have met with foul play or that they willfully wanted to leave. However, one might ask them self due to the illness that Jason Holley has would that be a contributing factor in his disappearance. Jason might be an adult but he does have Klinefelter Syndrome and his mother, Jan Holley, has stated, “This is not like him. He’s never gone from home for more than 24 hours” 

Get the details of this case and future updates that will really test your sleuthing skills at Blink on Crime.
