1. Primary 2008, Barack Obama promises, "I will have no lobbyists, or people from the media, in the White House, or my cabinet." As of today, there are over twenty lobbyists (32 Czars) and ten people from the media, in places of power, in the Obama White House. 21 people total from Chicago/with Chicago ties (from Czars who are not elected/screened/vetted by the Senate or Congress and lobbyists). This does not count czars, advisors, and the others in the cabinet.

2. Primary 2008, Barack Obama promises "I will make sure every single bill will be posted, on the White House web site, before it goes to the floor of Congress for a vote, for five days." As of today, there have been countless bills and decisions, behind closed doors, lock outs of Republicans (on bills and major decisions). Yet, there has not been any postings on the White House web site, until after the bills have become law, or were voted on. Now President Obama, has changed his policy altogether, stating, "Things will be posted on the web site, after the bill goes thru Congress and the Senate, for the public to see." Kind of odd, for a man who pounded the previous White House (saying, "They were the worst in history on transparency"), don't you think?

3. 2009, Congress (led by Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, and others) has passed thru Congress five bills, which were not read, before a vote was made. How can anyone vote on a bill, or make any kind of a decision at all, if a person has not read what they are voting on? There is no integrity, having a vote (for the people of the United States, on ANYTHING), in which there is no time to read the bill, but the vote happens anyway. The first four were bad enough, causing a $1.4 trillion deficit, 3 times more than when G W. Bush left office (and it is from the bail outs, Stimulus, Omnibus bill, and Cap and Tax, not even counting the $10 Trillion+ Health Bill.

4. May 2008, evidently, the democrats thought it would be funny to bring a speed reader, to the floor of Congress, and read (as fast as he possibly could) while the debate was happening. Once again, there is no integrity for Ms. Pelosi to pull this kind of a stunt, considering it is American business (not her own personal stand up comedy show).5. Cap & Trade Bill--- This bill will tax/raise prices for all things using any kind of energy. From the farm (gas for crops, to the drive to the market/prep house), to the Prep House to the Store (diesel gas and truck drivers will have higher rates), to the food distribution places (prices will be higher because from the bottom up, the groceries will be more expensive at wholesale prices), to the stores (where the higher prices will be passed onto the consumers). You will not be ABLE TO SELL YOUR HOUSE, until it is "retro-fitted for "Green Energy", from the light plug ins, to the windows, to how you power your house, and wiring will all have to be 100% approved by the govt., before you can sell it.). Everything from gas, ethanol, electricity, coal, will all be taxed heavily. However, this will not help the "Global Warming", as China and India will be pumping away and have already said "They will not cut any emissions at all, due to the building of their countries." This is just a quick overview of cap and trade (some call it "Cap & Tax). The main thing on this is Obama said, "I will NEVER raise taxes on anyone who makes less than $250,000, but this will effect every person in the United States. Yet, the "middle class" will not benefit from this hype global warming/"green jobs shit", as most of the jobs won't be ready to go for 6-8 years (remember in the primaries, during 2007-08, the Dems said it would take 3-5 years to get the oil off the coast, new clean coal tech. going, and nuclear energy? Well, we are on the door step of the 3-5 year period and they want 5-8 more years to revamp and change the country to going "Green". Screw the other time that went by and being independent on oil, with our own oil, now (which would have saved/helped the car companies, banks, etc...etc....), but then again, GE would not be getting a $35 Billion contract for curly light bulbs if we did that, right?

6. Health Care--- The health care bill was originally supposed to cost (as Obama stated in the Primaries and in the first three months of his office) a total of $650 billion. However, the C.B.O. (Congressional Budget Office), which is a "NON-PARTISAN" (no affiliation office, which is very conservative in estimating the different budget items) said it would cost between $1.7 to $2.6 trillion, originally. However, the new Health Care bill will cost (in the first year alone) $2.5-3.6 trillion, as of new figures. There are three main points with the health care bill: 1. The price tag, for the first year above, but the $26 trillion it will cost Americans, over the first 15-18 years it is in place (quadrupling the deficit, from $3 trillion, as it stand now, to around $12-15 Trillion, in three years, Obama said, in the primaries "he would pay as we go, and would cut the deficit in half, in the first two years in office). 2. "Preventive Care"--example You will not be able to buy candies, sweets, all things which are deemed "unhealthy" (including GUNS!) will be raised in prices, over a 4-6 year period (including fast food and other foods THE GOVERNMENT DEEMS bad). Also, if a person is older (example 87 year old man has cancer, and he breaks his hip, the GOVT DEEMS, he will not get the hip replacement (as the money to be spent, should go to someone who will live longer. Same thing with liver, lung, heart and other transplant patients. If you are to old, you do not get care, or are put on a huge waiting list, like in Canada, France, Europe). 3. The GOVERNMENT will decide on who gets health care, by the GOVT. becoming a "carrier of health care", but if the health care bill passes, it will raise the total cost per person $2500-2750, whether you are under the "govt. health care bill", or not. Plus, the govt wants everyone to be covered, but this bill will leave/people will get dropped by their health care provider, 35-45 million people without care. Therefore care will be "rationed," to those who the GOVT. DEEMS. In addition, people who do not have health care (or businesses who do not cover people, like HyVee and part timers) will be fined for not having health care. (THIS IS JUST A SMALL AND QUICK SHOT AT SOME OF THE PROBLEMS, I wrote a whole blog about Kathleen Subelious and Health Care explaining more). None of this even counts with the best case scenario there will still be 25 million people still uninsured, if the govt. does the health care plan (now there are 40-45. SO, for 15-20 million people there will be a complete overhaul of our way of life (taxes on soda/pop, candy, sugar, anything the govt. deems unhealthy. This bill is in the house now, on the pop/chips/sugar bill, now, they are not waiting.), putting us between $15 and $20 trillion, over the next 12-15 years.

7. For the last thirty years, the bipartisan support has been overflowing, for the infidelity of the politicians of Washington. Congressman Barney Frank having homosexual prostitution relations and a business (out of his own basement), Senator Ted Kennedy's affair (ending in a woman being killed), President Bill Clinton's two indiscretions (Paula Jones and Monica "blue dress" Lewinski, plus their are countless others), N. Y. Gov. Elliot Spitzer busted with prostitutes, Rep. Congressman Mark Foley soliciting/emailing "pages"/assistants of the same sex (on sexual topics), and the latest is S. C. Republican Gov. Mark Sanford left the country, going to Argentina, to continue his affair with an exotic T. V. reporter. Of course the overall problem is a Republican and Dem. problem. WHICH IS WHY THEY HAVE A 21-23% APPROVAL RATING. The lowest in history. Do we not have anyone else better to lead us?

8. Lastly, the Obama Govt. is pushing thru Health Care, Cap & Trade, Stimulus, Omni-bus Bill, Banking bill, Housing bill, and 2 other smaller bills thru in the first year of Obama's term. Barack Obama has spent more money in 5 months, than any other human in the history of the world, more than WWI, WWII, Vietnam, Korea, Gulf War I, Iraq War (we are in now) and Afghanistan put together, with $4-6.5 TRILLION left over to spend. The GOVT. IS GOING FOR THE BIGGEST POWER/MONEY/TAKE AWAY THE CONSTITUTION GRAB IN AMERICAN HISTORY. They want this all to go thru, behind closed doors (every single bill that has been passed and/or is in the Congress/Senate now, has been drawn up by OBAMA, PELOSI, SEN. CHRIS DODD, & BARNEY FRANK, with the rest of the liberal democrats, BEHIND CLOSED DOORS WHERE NO REPUBLICANS CAN EVEN SEE THE BILL/HAVE INPUT/BE A PART OF IT AT ALL, UNTIL 2-4 HOURS BEFORE THE VOTE). This is all being done as fast as possible, because IF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE KNEW WHAT WAS ACTUALLY GOING ON AND BEING PASSED, THEY WOULD NEVER GO FOR IT. The government is taking away the American people's choices/liberties, as if people can't choose what to do for themselves, what to eat, what to buy (Guns, health care policies) and they are destroying Capitalism as we know it.

    @JoeNBC @Badar1 Dems tell me this is why they prefer the opt out option. Once the plan is in place, no governor will take the benefit away.
