Weekend Edition: Obama Has Delcared War on Our Veterans

tnp eagleThis is Memorial Day weekend, a time when we pause to pay our respects to veterans who gave their all, made the ultimate sacrifice, laying down their lives in the service of our nation whether standing guard over our freedom or striving to liberate others.

We salute them with our hands and with our hearts but what of those who gave their best? The veterans who DID make it home?

Yes, we have Veterans Day but couldn’t we do better than that?

SHOULDN’T we do better than that?

This weekend, amid the parades and picnics, between the salutes and fly overs, our living veterans are suffering needlessly at the hand of those who promised them they would be taken care of and it is beneath contempt.

The VA scandal is the ultimate insult to those who have given so very much. They fought for us, they watched their friends, brothers and sisters in uniform die for us and many, too many, came back scared. Some of those scars are visible, some make people look away and some, some scars, neither you nor I can see but they ARE there and regardless the nature of the injury, those veterans deserve far, FAR better than they are getting today.

At the end of the last administration, backlogs began at veterans hospitals. Too many coming home too quickly. Too many in need from two theaters of war. They had been promised the help they would need for the scars we can see and from those we can’t but…they had our nation’s word that they WOULD be taken care of.

Obama, during the 2008 campaign was aware of the problem and he vowed, promised and campaigned on making it right.

He appointed Eric Shinseki to the post. To direct the VA and to make whatever was wrong, right again and since then, over nearly 6 years, what happened?

How Low Will Obama Go for Fundamental Transformation?

On January 28th, 2014, his highness the king, will deliver his State of the Union speech.

After being named as the deliverer of the 2013 lie of the year, a lie repeated by him some 3 dozen times over the past 3 years, Obama’s SOTU for 2014 should be one for the ages.

Obama will, no doubt, blame republicans for last fall’s 17% government shutdown as well as for a myriad of other things republicans had nothing with which to do.

But…If he chooses to duck and run from Obamacare on January 28th 2014 as he did in the 2012 SOTU, the omission will speak louder than his droning words as Americans, by the tens of millions, from both sides of the political aisle, are being screwed BY Obamacare daily.

How will he handle the topic?

The initial prognostication of most conservatives is that Obama will turn it into yet another festival of fibs. A desperate delivering of deception.

Another litany of lies.

The American public are watching their lives be turned upside down by Obamacare and their bank accounts being drained by it. Businesses are seeing their American Dream become America’s worst nightmare and, liberals up for election in November of 2014 are heading for the deep weeds because of Obamacare.

As his poll numbers continue to decline and more and more Americans deem him unworthy of trust, even the pathological liar knows the jig is up.

So, if one takes lying out of the teleprompter, what other options does the liar have?

Obamacare: A Thief in the Night

A REALITY FOR MORE AND MORE Americans these days is the fact that they must live from paycheck to paycheck.

As more and more Americans see their jobs disappear or cut to part-time hours because of Obamacare, they struggle to make ends meet and do something very foreign to the government that rules over them.

They budget.

TIGHTLY.

Americans don’t have the luxury of simply raising their debt limit every time the wind blows. What they bring in is all they have and, they must…THEY MUST…make it to the next paycheck on that amount.

Now, we have word that Obamacare, after screwing Americans, upon the lies told by Obama, out of the insurance they had, liked and COULD afford, for HIGHER insurance premiums and HIGHER deductibles, has started screwing them once again.

For the past 2 ½ months, we have all been regaled by glowing anecdotes from this lying administration regarding how the STATE exchanges ARE working and working so much better than the federal Obamacare website.

Ask the Bruner’s in the state of Washington how well their Washington Healthplanfinder is working for THEM.

In October, the Bruner’s, in the midst of starting their own business, logged on to Washington Healthplanfinder, selected a plan and, as the website allowed, chose their payment date.

They chose December 24th but…

The Obamacare Café – Eat What You’re TOLD to Eat

America was promised that the Obamacare website would be fixed, up and running by November 30th, 2013.

Kathleen Sebelius TOLD congress that it WOULD be fixed. She TOLD them it would be DONE…By November 30th, 2013.

THAT, of course, was before Kathleen Sebelius told America that the Obamacare website would be running at 80% by November 30th, 2013.

80%…According to Sebelius and the Obama administration was their definition of…SUCCESS.

So…80% by November 30th but…THAT was before Sebelius told America that users OF the website would have a much better experience on December 1st on that Obamacare website  than they had when it rolled out on October 1st, 2013.

So…

We went from the greatest thing since sliced cheese before the October roll out to…”We’ll have it fixed” by November 30th, 2013 soon AFTER the October 1st roll out to…”We’ll have it running at 80% by November 30th and THAT will be a SUCCESS to…”WELL…You’ll have a better experience with the Obamacare website on December 1st than you did on October 1st.”

Here we are…Today is December 2nd, 2013 and how’s that Obamacare website doing?

In FACT…It’s working at 0% right now and this obtuse administration is claiming some element of success for that.

No…I did NOT miss a keystroke. I typed in 0% and I MEANT…

Obamacare – House of Cards on a Foundation of Lies

If lying were considered to be an art form…Barack Hussein Obama would be its Monet.

First, allow me to apologize to Monet for the comparison.

Now then…Obamacare…The lie that will enslave Americans and, subject them to the whims of government…

That’s really what it is but, how did we arrive AT this enslavement?

Liberals created a 2700 page monstrosity of a bill and then demanded it be passed before anyone could be given the opportunity to read it.

Liberals, some of them literally bribed by Obama, agreed to do just that and not one single elected republican voted for it.

Not one.

The vote was held in the dark of night and the bill, all 2700 pages of it, was rammed down the throats of the American people.

Shortly thereafter, came the stack of regulations that would make the bill itself seem puny by comparison.

18,000 regulations attached to the bill.

Along with all of that came 159 new government agencies and committees to “oversee” the 2700 page bill with its 18,000 regulations.

There would need to be thousands…TENS of THOUSANDS of new government workers employed to handle the 2700 pages of the Obamacare bll, its 18,000 new regulations and its enforcement.

A website would be needed and, in true government fashion, $93 million dollars was allocated for it but the government spent $634 MILLION DOLLARS ON IT, spent 3 years building it and…Within ONE MINUTE of it going live on October 1st, 2013…IT CRASHED!!!

The Obamacare website is only an expected symptom.

The PROBLEM isn’t the website…The PROBLEM is…

Obamacare- Socialism in the Hands of a Dictator

Are you getting sick and tired of listening to liberals and. Specifically, Obama, tell you that they won’t negotiate with a gun to their heads?

Yeah.

I’ll bet.

Obama, just yesterday, said he was willing to negotiate…as long as he gets everything he wants and, what he wants, is Obamacare.

Socialism.

Try to dicker with the early onset of socialism and Obama won’t talk to you. Not even a little bit and, he’s willing to continue his campaign against our military veterans, travelers, and anyone who wants their tax returns in order to make sure socialism takes hold uninterrupted.

Obamacare.

That’s what this is all about.

Obamacare.

An obtuse bill that he had to bribe those in his own party to pass before anyone was given the opportunity to read it.

Let’s bypass all the bald-faced lies Obama has told about Obamacare over the years. I’ve covered those ad nauseam and frankly…

He’ll Talk To Iranians but NOT to Republicans

As the annual convention of thugs, despots and thieves takes place in NY city, our Dictator’s meltdown is on full display.

Obama’s foreign policy doctrine has handed center stage to a former KGB hit man, the al Qaeda he said one year ago was decimated and on the run is running amok IN Syria, North Africa and throughout the Middle East while no answers and no action has been taken regarding their attacks in Benghazi that resulted in the deaths of 4 Americans.

Now, as the sock puppet of the Mullahs strides into the U.N. building, Obama is considering a meeting with the new Iranian “president,” Hassan Rouhani.

This, just 1 week after signing an executive order waiving the restrictions on arming al Qaeda as al Qaeda storms a mall in Kenya, killing non Muslims.

Did I say our Dictator, Obama, was having a MELTDOWN???

Why, yes I did and, as proof, I offer this quote FROM the Dictator.

“They’re messin’ with me.”

Who?

Who’s messin’ with the Dictator??

Putin?

Assad?

Al Qaeda????

Nope….

Long Term Solutions to a 1 Term Problem

Yesterday, in our article, “Obama’s Tax Plan Unicorn” we pointed out the extreme short term thinking of the Emperor and its negative effects on small businesses. We also promised a long term solution.

To understand the long term solutions we must look back a little.

While Obama’s excuse for the economic disaster has always been, and continues to be George W. Bush, it is clearly a false notion.

Congress switched hands in the midterm election of 2006 with liberals taking control in January of 2007. Obama ran on false promises of fixing the economy and from the time he took office until the midterm 2010 election, HIS party controlled both the House and the Senate but, rather than working on the economy, Obama took advantage of his party’s control of congress to ram through Obamacare.

The following chart shows employment statistics from 2004 to the present.
