Comrade Obama

[JT]

Want to take a guess at how many people(%) in the presidents cabinet have ACTUALLY held a job in the private sector and not only a government job? you know, like a job and work experience in the REAL world. Compared to past Presidents Cabinets should scare the dog **** out of you.

Someone ought to post a poll.

[R C]

Probably not many,......just wish he'd appoint people who actually paid income taxes.

[ccundieff]

If I remember correctly about 8%. I think that I saw this on Glen Beck.

[Robalo]

I don't think Cheetah ever had a real job (see "Tarzan" post), and since BHO was an ACORN person, that means he aint either. As far as rest, I bet 8% is about right, so 92% of "his" appointments to the Cabinet are gummint workers.

We all know that the Postal Workers and IRS workers are some of the finest in Business, which is evidenced by the fact the USPS cannot make a dime and as far as IRS, gee, my ex-wife was no "genious" by any means and it was very scary to go to an IRS xmas party and listen to the R.O.s (Revenue Officers) while drunk talking about how they wish they could shoot a taxpayer someday-yes, those "nice" folks that are ROs and come to your house for an audit are packing.

It seems to me that those folks that were drunk on BHO Kool-aid should hand in their voter registration and be too ashamed to ever vote again.

--this is a cut and paste(potlick) that I thought was along those same lines..sorry so long, but informative.

Just as true today as it was when his book first came out.

He was, and still is, a brilliant businessman! Often we need to be reminded of Iococca's words. Remember Lee Iacocca, the man who rescued Chrysler Corporation from its death throes? He's now 82 years old and has a new book, 'Where Have All The Leaders Gone?'.

Lee Iacocca Says:

'Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage with this so called president? We should be screaming bloody murder! We've got a gang of tax cheating clueless leftists trying to steer our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even run a ridiculous cash-for-clunkers program without losing $26 billion of the taxpayers' money, much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, 'trust me the economy is getting better..'

Better? You've got to be kidding. This is America, not the damned, 'Titanic'. I'll give you a sound bite: 'Throw all the Democrats out along with Obama!'

You might think I'm getting senile, that I've gone off my rocker, and maybe I have. But someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize this country anymore..

The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in handcuffs.. While we're fiddling in Afghanistan, Iran is completing their nuclear bombs and missiles and nobody seems to know what to do. And the liberal press is waving 'pom-poms' instead of asking hard questions. That's not the promise of the 'America' my parents and yours traveled across the ocean for. I've had enough. How about you?

I'll go a step further. You can't call yourself a patriot if you're not outraged. This is a fight I'm ready and willing to have. The Biggest 'C' is Crisis! (Iacocca elaborates on nine C's of leadership, with crisis being the first.)

Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is forged in times of crisis. It's easy to sit there with thumb up your butt and talk theory. Or send someone else's kids off to war when you've never seen a battlefield yourself. It's another thing to lead when your world comes tumbling down.

On September 11, 2001, we needed a strong leader more than any other time in our history. We needed a steady hand to guide us out of the ashes. A hell of a mess, so here's where we stand.

We're immersed in a bloody war now with no plan for winning and no plan for leaving. But our soldiers are dying daily.

We're running the biggest deficit in the history of the world, and it's getting worse every day!

We've lost the manufacturing edge to Asia, while our once-great companies are getting slaughtered by health care costs.

Gas prices are going to skyrock again, and nobody in power has a lucid plan to open drilling to solve the problem. This country has the largest oil reserves in the WORLD, and we cannot drill for it because the politicians have been bought by the flea-hugging environmentalists.
Our schools are in a complete disaster because of the teachers union.

Our borders are like sieves and they want to give all illegals amnesty and free healthcare.

The middle class is being squeezed to death every day.

These are times that cry out for leadership.

But when you look around, you've got to ask: 'Where have all the leaders gone?' Where are the curious, creative communicators? Where are the people of character, courage, conviction, omnipotence, and common sense? I may be a sucker for alliteration, but I think you get the point.

Name me a leader who has a better idea for homeland security than making us take off our shoes in airports and throw away our shampoo?

We've spent billions of dollars building a huge new bureaucracy, and all we know how to do is react to things that have already happened.

Everyone's hunkering down, fingers crossed, hoping the government will make it better for them. Now, that's just crazy.. Deal with life.

Name me an industry leader who is thinking creatively about how we can restore our competitive edge in manufacturing. Who would have believed that there could ever be a time when 'The Big Three' referred to Japanese car companies? How did this happen, and more important, look what Obama did about it!
Name me a government leader who can articulate a plan for paying down the debit, or solving the energy crisis, or managing the health care problem. The silence is deafening. But these are the crises that are eating away at our country and milking the middle class dry.

I have news for the Chicago gangsters in Congress. We didn't elect you to turn this country into a losing European Socialist state. What is everybody so afraid of? That some bonehead on NBC or CNN news will call them a name? Give me a break. Why don't you guys show some spine for a change?

Had Enough? Hey, I'm not trying to be the voice of gloom and doom here. I'm trying to light a fire. I'm speaking out because I have hope - I believe in America . In my lifetime, I've had the privilege of living through some of America 's greatest moments. I've also experienced some of our worst crises: The 'Great Depression,' 'World War II,' the 'Korean War,' the 'Kennedy Assassination,' the 'Vietnam War,' the 1970's oil crisis, and the struggles of recent years since 9/11.

Make your own contribution by sending this to everyone you know and care about. It's our country, folks, and it's our future. Our future is at stake!!

[shutout]

I've been passive and quiet about Obama since the election, just kinda hoping he would not turn out as bad as I feared he would. He has turned out worse. We can moan and groan on the net till hell freezes over, but if we don't get out and vote, then we miss the best opportunity we have to stop this guy. Go out and vote and don't vote for any Democrat or looney novelty third party candidate. Vote Republican!!! In the primaries, use your head, vote for the Republican that has the best chance of winning in November, not for some protest or lesser candidate. The people of New Jersey, Virginia and, of all places, Massachusetts have gotten the ball rolling in the right direction. Any Texan who doesn't get out and vote this year does just about as much damage as those misguided ones who voted for the guy in the first place.

[Txrex]

March 2nd will be your first chance to listen to your queasy gizzard and vote against the existing corruption and tax-and-spender's right here in Texas. Go vote in the primary elections! It is the only way that you are going to get someone on the ticket worth voting for in November. Regardless of which party you have voted for in the past, take a look at the people who are running, not their party. If they have been part of the "wham-bam flim-flam" that we have been getting for so many years, vote for the other guy, or gal, in the primary. If they are not on the ticket in November, they can't get re-elected........

[reeltime]

texas is one of the few states that still has money in the coffins...name a few more ........i think business as usual is better than hope and change.

[shutout]

Good point reeltime. I think Texas is in pretty good shape right now. I still can't figure out what Huchinson's motivation was for leaving the Senate and trying to unseat a fairly successful, sitting Republican Governor

[plugger]

Don't get me started !! He is a communist egotist doofiss , and congress has a bunch of self serving , lying , jerks. Impeach him and vote congress out !! If you don't vote, don't gripe.. get out and do your part to try to save the country. Signed, ROBALO II.....

Dang Right to all the above.
