What Barack Obama, No Easter Greating … Then Scoffing at Media Questions

From the president who never met a Muslin holiday he did not like or did not feel the need to issue a public proclamation for comes Barack Hussein Obama’s lack of an Easter message. What is wrong with this President that he cannot seem fit to issue a public proclamation for a Christan holiday? Is this a character flaw or is there a more insidious issue?

Just when I thought the current team running the White House might have used up all its allotted mistakes comes word that President Obama failed to issue either an Easter or a Good Friday greeting to the nation.

Now, let’s forget for a moment that these greetings, which presidents issue on many holidays and commemorations of events, are largely perfunctory and symbolic gestures that nobody cares about.

Then to make matters worse, Obama’s own Presidential Press Secretary Carney laughs off  Barack Obama not giving and  Easter statement. What is wrong with this Administration? Seriously.

As reported at The Hill:

Carney also scoffed at media reports calling out the White House for not releasing a statement commemorating Easter on Sunday, explaining Obama and his family attended church services in Washington.

HAPPY 100th BIRTHDAY RONALD WILSON REAGAN … A GREAT AMERICAN

To a great American … HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRESIDENT RONALD WILSON REAGAN.

Ronald Reagan was born on February 6, 1911, he was the 33rd Governor of California from 1967–1975,  he became the 40th President of the United States from 1981 – 1989 and would go down as one of the greatest Presidents of the 20th century. Reagan was beloved by many and was a true outsider of “Inside the Beltway” politics. He was just as much an outsider to the country club Republicans as he was Democrats, which is what made him so effective and beloved.

Ronald Reagan reminded us of one important fact that has been obviously lost today by many Republicans and certainly by the current administration, “Government is not the solution to our problems, government is the problem” (VIDEO).

Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall!

May American continue to embrace the legacy of President Reagan, they just don’t make him like this any more even though we would be better off if they did. As stated in the UK telegraph, “Ronald Reagan is remembered almost universally as a man of wit, humility, warmth and optimism”. Let us also not forget patriotism.  He made us feel better about ourselves and that we could do anything, never apologizing for what we had done in the past, only that we could make things better for the future. It was not just the words, it was the way the words were communicated to the American people as if he was speaking to each and every one of us personally. There was a belief and trust in the words of Ronald Reagan that allowed the United States to emerge in the 1980′s from the depths of the misery of the 70′s. As stated by the Gateway Pundit, President Reagan knew how to deal with dictators and it was not to appease or bow down to them.

President Ronald Wilson Reagan was simply brilliant. Reagan could be serious, compelling, healing and humorous. The key fact is that he always knew when to have the correct communication tone to the American people, our allies and our enemies. How revered and respected was Ronald Reagan? During his years as President the MSM and Democrats savaged him just like they do the GOP today; however, in order for the MSM to try and rehabilitate Democrat Barack Obama’s presidency, they try to claim he is “Reaganesque”.

President Ronald Reagan – “Evil Empire” Speech”

The wit of Reagan to win the moment, “I am not going to exploit for political purposes myopponents youth and inexperience.”

Reagan diffuses the MSM with a joke that leaves them laughing and speechless …

He healed a Nation following the Space Shuttle Challenger tragedy.

From Wiki:

As president, Reagan implemented sweeping new political and economic initiatives. His supply-side economic policies, dubbed “Reaganomics,” advocated reducing tax rates to spur economic growth, controlling the money supply to reduce inflation, deregulation of the economy, and reducing government spending. In his first term he survived an assassination attempt, took a hard line against labor unions, and ordered military actions in Grenada. He was reelected in a landslide in 1984, proclaiming it was “Morning in America.” His second term was primarily marked by foreign matters, such as the ending of the Cold War, the bombing of Libya, and the revelation of the Iran-Contra affair. Publicly describing the Soviet Union as an “evil empire,”[1] he supported anti-Communist movements worldwide and spent his first term forgoing the strategy of détenteby ordering a massive military buildup in an arms race withthe USSR. Reagan negotiated withSovietGeneral Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev, culminating in the INF Treaty and the decrease of both countries’ nuclear arsenals.

Memorable Ronald Reagan quotes:

• Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall!
• The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.
• You can tell a lot about a fellow’s character by his way of eating jellybeans. 
• You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children’s children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done.
• I don’t believe in a government that protects us from ourselves.
• Freedom is one of the deepest and noblest aspirations of the human spirit.
• Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today’s world do not have.
• Government’s first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.
• My fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you I just signed legislation which outlaws Russia forever. The bombing begins in five minutes.
• One picture is worth 1,000 denials.
• Politics I supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.
• Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15.
• We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.
• Without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. PRESIDENT, TO THE GREAT COMMUNICATOR … WE MISS YOU!

• Is it true that people with prestige and public visibility get treated leniently by the court system? If so, is it fair?

Martin Luther King Jr … MLK Day 2011 … “We Should All Have the Same Dream”

We should all have not only the dream but practice that we all they will all not be judged by the color of one’s skin, but by the content of one’s character. We have come a long way since 1963 in America an it appears we still have a ways to go. However, as MLK Jr. stated, “in the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not to seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom, by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.”

And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today!
