So now we have the left pushing for possible probing and prosecution of Bush Administration lawyers and officials of interrogation methods against the enemies of this country including the plotters of the September 11 attacks. President Obama left the door open statements he made today concerning the issue. He did brush off responsibility though saying that it would be up to the Attorney General to decide on the best course. He stated that he thinks that this could be politicized if they proceeded. What else could it be? Let me break down simply.

This country was attacked on September 11, 2001 when Islamic Terrorists, yes Obama, I said Islamic Terrorists, hijacked 4 commercial airliners and slamming 3 of them into the various targets. We know what happened, so I am not going to go into details. This attack exposed serious holes in our intelligence community. Following that time, President Bush and his administration worked to beef up our intelligence community.

Following that time, we were at war and we are still at war. These goones declared war on this country long ago and we finally took the fight back to them. At the same time our enemies were continuing to plot future attacks against us and our allies. As we were catching these animals we had to do what was necessary to find out about future plans and prevent any new attacks from happening.

With our military and intelligence doing there best protect this country by getting information out of these people, we have the left with a big push from moveon.org trying to now get special prosecutors assigned and investigations started against President Bush and his administration. This is absolutely unprecedented and a pathetic thing to watch. We are in the middle of a war that we did not start and new administration is looking to politicize the war once more by going after the Administration that did nearly everything they could to keep us from getting hit again.

It is the President’s responsibility to do what is necessary to protect and defend the people of this nation. President Bush and his administration did what was necessary and this country was not attacked again since 9/11. It was attempted again, remember the Fort Dix Six, but the right intelligence and doing what was necessary to save American lives is what our former President understood. Our enemies do ten times worse when they capture our people, so don’t expect me to feel bad because some Islamic radical had water poured over his face. 

Former VP Dick Cheney has called for all of the CIA documents on these interrogations to be released so that the American people can see just what kind of information was attained from the interrogations and how close we came to being attacked if not for getting the information from these enemy combatants. If Obama and his joke of an administration want to go through with this, then I think VP Cheney is right and the people should see the truth to see just what kind of dangers we faced since 9/11.

It’s become a political witch hunt by the left pushed by Soros and the moveon.org crowd. No matter what, they want to see President Bush punished. Doesn’t matter if he did his job to protect this country. It only matters that they can destroy his legacy.

It’s more of the same garbage people. This President is nothing but a partisan radical and I think he had plans from the beginning to push for this at some point even though he is pushing the plan to the Attorney General, Eric Holder. He wants to portray himself as some moderate who wants bipartisan unity when he has proven himself to be anything but day after day. It is all politics. I’ll probably catch hell for saying this, but even Bill Clinton looks good right about now compared to this guy. We’re just 3 months into this folks.

I’ve had a lot going through my mind over the last 15-16 hours since Obama’s press conference last night. I’ve had so much to say on it, but just not sure where to start. First let me say, what a joke. The President of the United States has 3 weeks into his presidency has now told a bold faced lie directly to the American people. I’m not going to dance around it. He is a liar. What was the lie some you may ask? He sat there on prime time national television and said that there were NO EARMARKS in this so called stimulus bill that is about to be passed by the Senate.

This bill is filled to the brim with earmarks, pork, or whatever you want to call it. What do you call $1.5 billion for homeless prevention activities, $200 million for government facility modernization, or $100 Million for National School Lunch program? These are pork projects or earmarks and the list goes on and on. The dems are trying to change the definition of earmarks by saying that everything in this bill is for stimulus.   I'm sorry, but there is hardly a thing in this bill that will stimulate this economy in any way. It may create some jobs temporary jobs, but nothing permanent.

Last night, Obama continued his press to scare the hell out of every American by telling us we are headed for a disaster if we do not act now. He already said last week that the time for talk is over. He is doing everything possible to stop the debate of this bill and just shove down the throats of the American people whether we like it or not. Public support for this bill has been plummeting has people have begun to find out more and more just what is in this bill. It is nothing but a Trillion dollar government growth bill that will only grow our government more and build our national debt to the point where they will raise or taxes just to cover that cost.

It is amazing. I’ve never heard a President, the leader of the free “for now” world, stand up and try to scare Americans to death. Reagan came into office with the economy in worse shape than it is now despite what Obama tells you. He did not stand there and tell us that we are headed for disaster. He stood there and spoke of the hope of how great this country would be and how we would get there. He did not say, do what I say to do or else we’re headed for disaster. I find it absolutely absurd that we have a president that speaks to the American people this way.

This guy wants to talk about bi-partisanship and reaching across the isle and so on. He does nothing of the kind. He talks that game to the cameras, but he and the democrats have done everything possible to keep the republicans out of the debate because they know the more they are allowed into debate, the more it exposes what the democrats are really doing and that is massively growing the size and scope of the government through spending. It sad now that we have 3 republicans that are now voting for this bill out of political expediency. They are trying to save their re-elections in their home states, but I think they will see a political backlash for it as will everyone else who pushed this bill.

You know, from day one, I held on to some little bit of hope that maybe, the President would do the right thing for this country. He would want to see all avenues of possible recovery. Now I truly see that he has had an agenda from day one. His chief of staff said we should not let a good crisis go to waste and they’re certainly holding true to that. He is seizing the opportunity to push forward his agenda. To make you and me more dependent on government than ever before. He is going to tax the daylights out of us as the spending of this bill truly takes effect over the next couple of years. He said last night that only government can get us out of this crisis and only government has the resources to jolt the economy. That right there shows that he is a man that truly believes that government is the answer to any and everything in this country.

Folks we are starting to see the death of Capitalism emerge in this country. With the passing of this bill, we are going to take another giant step toward European style socialism. We are going to see the private sector, the businesses of this country decline. We are going to start seeing rising unemployment as businesses will have to cut staff to meet the cost of their soon to be rising taxes. This is exactly what happened with Carter, Johnson, and FDR. They all wanted to spend and spend and grow government and they did not stimulate the economy one bit. Socialism fails wherever it is tried here and over seas. Look at the British government. They are on the verge of bankruptcy because of their socialist policies.

I pray that for the sake of our children and grandchildren that the people of this country wake up to what is going on today. We are having the wool pulled over our eyes people. I want this country to succeed and government is not our solution. Obama is dead wrong in this fact. You unleash our private sector and you will see growth like you would not believe. It happened under Reagan, Kennedy, and yes even under Bush. You lower those tax rates and you will see that the private sector will never let any of us down. 

Government has been a part of the problem from day one. It is government regulation and interference that helped kick off the recession we are in now. Government needs to get out of the way and let the American people and the private sector do what they do best. I believe this can still happen, but we have to act and keep things from getting worse than it will when this bill passes today.
