Obama on Leadership
The goal of a great leader is to help people think more highly of themselves.”
-John Maxwell
A man is known by his actions
Proverbs 21:8 TLB
Thank you President Bush for your leadership.
Robin Hood gets a middle man
The Obama administration would like nothing better than to have you and I quietly sit back, say nothing and let him dismantle our current system while he builds, creates and raises from the almost dead his brand of political governing.
Some call is socialism others go so far as to say communistic. I really don’t know what the name of his final creation will be but for now let’s call it Sherwood Forestism.
It reminds me of the old story of Robin Hood a local hero to peasants everywhere in Nottinghamshire. His lore grew fast and wide as he and his merry men (other outlaws) would rob from the rich to give to the poor. Fighting tyranny and injustice this Robbing Hood was adored by the poor who were eager to take his ill gotten gains.
The story was originally set in an age where the heavy hand of hostile takeovers and monopoly loomed over governments and businesses. For Robin, it was the same, although what he experienced was the actual restriction of human rights to live. There was no positive clarification but we believe he attended Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago as well.
So the scene is today, with AIG, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae very similar to that of ‘the hoods’. Our Robin has burst onto the stage and looks to repeat many of the same techniques in hopes that the masses will love him.
Obama has several advantages however that Rob didn’t have. Instead of a sword or a bow staff Barack has his mighty pen and the ability to deceive. While the citizens expressed outrage on the AIG executive’s bonuses, the fed under this president’s watch was busy printing one trillion dollars to pump into the economy. As the dollar plummets gold has risen sharply. Of note, the peasants don’t pay for bread with gold; they’ll be reduced to using more and more dollars for their daily meals. But this new Hood is their hero and so far all is well.
Obama also uses ‘banded outlaws’ to help him in his crusades. It is with their help such crafty legislation and sleight of hand can be carried out all the while disregarding the rule of law and no one is saying a word.
One other difference is that Barak Hood is not content to just take from the rich. His roadway robberies are being extended to those in the middle class as well. When the jobs shrink even further and the money is worth less and less it will be this unintended class that will be his casualties of war and no one else’s. Sir George has left the building.
Meanwhile our Knight in shining armor rides off on his trusty steed to an affair of drink and fine dining at the castle.
The U.S. of Nottinghamshire hasn’t always been a place of deceit and corruption. When King George reigned life was a fairer thing and those who worked hard didn’t have to worry about the sting of the rulers decree. Everyone had the same opportunity and it was up to them to improve their lot in life. The peasants used pitch forks to harvest their hay, not long from now when they realize the goodness of Sir George is missed and the new corrupt Hood is in town, they may find other uses for them.
Obama’s Red Herring
In the mid 1800′s British fugitives on the run would rub a red herring across their trail in an attempt to throw off the pursuing bloodhounds.
We find this philosophy is still greatly used in todays politics. As many of us are still unaware the Fed just paid itself 1 Trillion dollars. How might you ask? They printed it!
Glenn Beck explains it best.
In situations like this I wonder what W would have done? I’m sure he would have made the decision that was best for our country in the long-term not just looking for a short-term fix.
Thank you George Bush
If I could be like Mike
Several years ago there was a great TV jingle, “If I could be like Mike.” It struck a chord with our culture because everyone knew and admired Mike and I venture to say most everyone I knew ‘did’ want to be like him.
Today apparently there is at least one of us who wants to be like someone but alas it’s not a high flying super hero on the court, no it’s more like a communist nation and Obama would love nothing better than ‘to be like China.’
Before his election Obama espoused this desire on the campaign trail when he compared America to China and said they were vastly superior. He touts their ports, airports and overall infrastructure as being so far ahead of ours. Even today in his weekly radio address Obama again pines to be like this utopia he’d love to call home.
Second, this budget must renew our nation’s commitment to a complete and competitive education for every American child. In this global economy, we know the countries that out-educate us today will out-compete us tomorrow, and we know that our students are already falling behind their counterparts in places like China.
Come to think of it, Obama is right on two points; First China does have a vastly superior cave system and for this there is no denial. Over 40 million Chinese live in caves, perhaps it’s because there is no mortgage associated with a cave, it seems that .25 cents per hour doesn’t go too far these days. 
Although the illegal child workforce does put out a lot of production it still must not be enough to put them into a nice 2bdrm. 2bth ranch style home. Or maybe it’s to escape the bacteria laden water that over 1/2 of the available h2o is infected with. Not to worry however the Chinese gov’t is got that handled, they’re getting outside help. Quite a departure from the staunch isolationist position they’ve held for years.
The second point is their idea on a stimulus plan. Instead of massive spending, borrowing and printing, China much in the way George Bush did, cut taxes. Yes they actually cut sales tax on automobiles and guess what. Sales shot through the roof. For the first time ever China sold more cars in a month than America and it looks as if the trend will continue. China is implementing a stimulus plan of more than 586 billion dollars which was announced last year. The two major differences are that they have the money (our money if need be) and that they are cutting taxes.
If Obama wants to be like China then perhaps he should take up residence in a cave for awhile and see how it’s working for them. Maybe he’d be better to just do what George Bush did and cut taxes and let the free market system blossom the way it always has.
He even has an out on this one so he doesn’t have to admit George was right which would look to much like Bush appreciation, can’t have that.
He can simply write a new jingle and go on Leno’s show to promote it.
“Like Hu Jintao,if I could be like Hu Jintao, I wanna be I wanna be….”
Ok it needs some work
Obama has created life
Its official, Obama has created life. Not a protozoa or single cell amoeba, no this thing talks, thinks, plays practical jokes, has his own web site and even travels the country giving speeches to the masses.
The messiah is truly amazing and is worthy of all praise.
I think I’d rather Thank George Bush.
Obama in the St. Patty’s day spirit
In order to celebrate St. Patty’s day President Obama has dyed the fountains outside of the white house green. Where might he get such an idea or the materials to do so?
The U.S Treasury of course! Due to the high volume of money coming off the press the treasury had a little extra green dye to send to President Obama in celebration of St. Patty’s day!
President Bush, we miss you.
The difference between a goose and a gander
We’ve all heard the saying, “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.” Now I’m not much of a farmer but I have been through Iowa a few times. Seems to me this quote refers to what is bad for McCain is good for Obama, or is it what’s good for Obama is bad for George Bush? Maybe it’s what’s good for Obama means the rest of us suffer? I’m not real sure but I do recognize one common theme. It’s all good for Barrack Hussein Obama!
It wasn’t that long ago (5 months) that the Obama machine ‘blasted’ Senator McCain for saying the economy is fundamentally strong. This week his economic advisor Christine Romer said the exact same thing on NBC’s “Meet the press”. Simply amazing, does he think the American people are so stupid?
Apparently so, because at the same time he proposes spending hikes that coupled with interest exceed 3 trillion dollars over the next decade he boasts a goal of cutting the deficit in 1/2 by the end of his first term. Lets pray to God that is all the time he gets.
While the double speak continues and Obama spends like a drunken sailor he and his loose cannon cabinet have created a convenient escape line. It’s not their deficit, its President Bush’s fault, it’s not their problems in Iraq it is Bush again. With every major decision they face, instead of taking it head on as Bush did and look for a solution they ‘claim they have to take drastic actions’ because it’s a problem, they inherited.
While this kind of approach works in school yard politics, it’s a cowardly response from the leader of the free world. Nothing is Obama’s fault and disaster looms for everyone according to the man who flies the world in his new found luxury liner and dines and dances every Wednesday night at his ‘open parties’ while so many of us suffer.
What’s the difference between a goose and a gander? The goose in this case is golden and it’s the gander that gets cooked.
Bush and nicknames
It is widely known that President Bush has an affinity for giving out nicknames. Some are probably earned by the recipient and others may fit instantly by mere appearance. While critics see this penchant of Bush in the negative as a way of demeaning or controlling the newly named, most see it for a light hearted gesture of endearment.
The art of nicknaming has been around forever and President Bush seems to by quite good at it. No one is immune to receiving a nickname. From staffers to the press, even Vladimir Putin, current Prime Minister and former President of Russia has a new moniker placed on him, he is nicknamed ‘pootie poot’.
Perhaps ‘W’ uses nicknames as a way of remembering people without having to think of their names, maybe it’s something of a gesture of endearment. Not out of the realm of possibilities is a unflattering name to someone who is a thorn in the Presidents side. One such instance may be for The Cobra – Maureen Dowd a prominent member of the press and harsh critic of the administration. Regardless how they get them, the nicknames seem to fit quite well and some have stuck even past his time in office.
Politicians nicknames:
Pedro – Peter King, Republican Congressman from New York
Hogan – John McCain, Republican Senator, Arizona
Big George – George Miller, Democratic Congressman, California
Freddy Boy, Freddo – Fred Upton, Republican Congressman from Michigan
Congressman Kickass – John Sweeney, Republican Congressman, New York
Speak – Dennis Hastert, Republican Congressman from Illinois and former Speaker of the United States House of Representatives
Big O – Olympia Snowe, Republican Senator, Maine
Hobbsy – Dave Hobson, Republican Representative, Ohio
Benator – Ben Nelson, Democratic Senator, Nebraska
Ellis – Chuck Schumer, Democratic Senator, New York
Bama, Rock – Barack Obama, former Democratic Senator, Illinois and the current President
Corndog – John Cornyn, Republican Senator, Texas
Maxie – Max Baucus, Democratic Senator, Montana

World leaders

Man of Steel – John Howard, Prime Minister of Australia
Funny how all these people seem to fit the alias they’ve been given but the one I still like the best is the one given to the namer himself. This designation also fits like a hand in glove in that George Bush is a direct man with a sense of humor able not only to laugh at himself but to also see the good in others and bring it out in a unique and endearing way. Known worldwide by a single letter is this man who helped shape and improve the lives of countless people. For that we are all thankful for the one we all know simply as
“W”.
Stuttering through the Presidency
It’s amazing to me that the media branded George W. Bush as a stumbling buffoon and what’s more the American people bought into it. The constant ridicule, demeaning comments and blatant vicious attacks were a never ending theme for his 8 years as President.
The liberal left’s hatred grew with every gaff or ‘Bushism’ as they seethed with rage and envy every time he accomplished the impossible in spite of them. They wanted his power and spotlight for themselves and couldn’t believe ‘this cowboy’ who wouldn’t know the difference between Beluga or Iranian Caviar would be so loved by America’s citizens. George Bush was and is a dunce and must be destroyed and the hierarchy of the Democrat party must be reestablished at all costs.
Mission Failed
While true we are now graced with the leadership of the most liberal socialist leaning politician in recent memory. (Excluding the likes of Chavez or Castro mind you) We did not get the renaissance of dignity and the intellectual bulwark they had hoped for. Instead we got bumbling stumbling Barack who looks like a deer in head lights without his ‘life giving’ teleprompter. If you thought the world saw us as fools with George Bush, what do you think they are saying now?
Watch the video and let us know what you think. Are we going to far or do you agree and Thank God for George W. Bush.
Break out the shovels
Shovel ready
Not on my watch
Transparency
Change
That day is here
I’m sure if you checked Obama’s web site you’d find that all these ‘tags’ were in his site optimization pack. You Google change, you get pages filled with Obama, type transparency and surprise, the same.
The problem is that this is all these words are, just tags and slogans that we are all suppose to associate with Barack Hussein Obama. They have no meaning and they certainly have not been adhered to.
Obama wants better schools and today we find the democratic controlled senate cut the highly successful voucher program for more than 1000 of the poorest minority kids in the area. Obama is silent on the subject and his veto pen is tucked nicely in his pocket.
Obama tells us we all get to view legislation 5 days on line before he signs anything. He has violated that rule already 3 times.
In three cases, Obama signed legislation well within that window — with a fair-pay law, an expansion of health insurance for children and the $787 billion economic stimulus package.
www.foxnews.com
Today the President signed the omnibus spending package against his promise to you and I of no more earmarks. My head is spinning so fast I’m not even sure if he gave this one the promised 5 days.
My favorite is “shovel ready”. We were told that the ‘stimulus’ money was for projects that were ready to go and this would ‘stimulate our failing economy. Another con job because most of the projects targeted are a year or more away.
Well I know some of us are ready with our shovels, perhaps you can throw in a few folks who have pitch forks in hand as well. We won’t be building any highways or bridges however with these implements, no we’ll need them just to dig out from under all the crap Obama and the elitist left is throwing at us. Not to worry though, one little known earmark in Obama’s new bill is “shovels for everybody”. He’s even handing them out himself to show how much he cares.
