Open Message to President Barack Obama: About your daughters

I have noticed this as of late, First the Christmas tree thing, and this:

President Obama and his daughters went shopping at an independent bookstore in Arlington on “Small Business Saturday,” the annual marketing event for promoting mom-and-pop shops across the country.

According to press reports, the president picked up 15 children’s books in about 20 minutes – he reportedly had his shopping list on a Blackberry – at One More Page Books, owned by Eileen McGervey.

The president later tweeted the following: “My family & I started our holiday shopping at a local bookstore on #SmallBizSat. I hope you’ll join & shop small this holiday season. -bo.”

The president signs his Twitter messages “-bo.”

via President, daughters note ‘Small Business Saturday’ – Washington Times.

A little piece of advice for President Obama: You say that your wife and children are off-limits? Well, here is some advice for you Mr. President; keep them in the White House where they really belong. You do not want your kids being offered up for scorn, you believe they are off-limits? Then keep them out of the public eye, otherwise they are fair game to we bloggers, who disagree with you and your polices.

I mean, there is a ton that I could say about them, especially the older one. However, because I, like you, believe that children of political persons are off-limits and because of that, I have not written anything critical about your children. You did this very well during your first term; you kept them out of the public spotlight as much as possible, and because of that, your daughters have been so far spared.

I will admit, that some of the writers and bloggers on the right, have not been so kind to you sir and your wife and children. I cannot control what they do. However, I find your children being paraded around like this to be highly offensive. Let your kids be kids, and do not overuse them for political or White House events, please? I mean, Bush did that, Clinton did that, Carter did that and it was sick and disgusting.

Mr President, you sir are the President of the United States of America; Malia and Sasha are not — neither is Michelle — use them in public events very sparingly. When the girls are much older, they will thank you for sparing them the humiliation that comes with being shoved into the spotlight as kids later on.

Please note this, Mr President: I wrote this not as a mean old Republican, which I am not or as a mean old grassroots Conservative, which I happen to be. But rather as a proud American, who feels about you being President; as the late great John Wayne said, “I didn’t vote for him, but he’s my President and I hope he does a good job.” What I am trying to say, Mr. President, is that I actually care. I do not agree one percent with everything that you have done and continue to do — but I still respect the office of the President of the United States and because of that, I wrote this blog entry to you.

I am sending a link to this blog entry to the White House via the official website. I will let everyone know, if I get a reply back.

 

This is why I dislike Bill Kristol very much

(Via Time — H/T to Politico)

The Story via JTA’s Capital J Blog:

(UPDATED with ECI comment and J Street cartoon, below)

My synagogue listserve in northern Virginia is abuzz with a Robocall campaign, by the Emergency Committee for Israel.

The caller ID is that of William Kristol, who founded the group.

Robocalls are not known for straight-up accounts of the issues. Still, the deceptions in this one are a little stunning.

The call is in the form of a "debate" between President Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu.

There has never been any such debate, of course, and it’s immediately clear to me that it’s a mock-up, with "answers" spliced in from different appearances. But I’m steeped in this. I don’t know how clear it would be though to someone who doesn’t follow this day to day.

More substantively, the quote grabs have almost nothing to do with one another, although this is not evident in the calls. A more accurate presentation of the Netanyahu quote that is used would suggest that the two leaders are actually more in agreement on nuclear Iran — the issue of the "debate" — than not.

Obama’s "opening remark", in which he "respects" Iran’s sovereignty, is from a press conference in 2009, in which he rejected Iranian claims of U.S. involvement in post-election protests — and also decried Iranian repression of the protesters. It had nothing to do with Iran’s nuclear capability.

Netanyahu’s "response" is from his speech to AIPAC this year (three years later!)

What is Kristol’s response to this?:

*UPDATE: Kristol emails:

ECI exists to provide opportunities for faux liberal outrage.

I will just say it; Bill Kristol is a NEO-CON piece of shit, he always has been and always will be! Between Him and John Podhoretz; if the Republican Party loses this election, it will be because of Kristol and  Podhoretz. We have a good chance to stop this socialist from destroying this Country and what does this schmuck do? This sort of idiotic crap.

Also too, yes, I know JStreet is a liberal Jewish organization; I get that, alright? But, this sort of stuff, a week before the election is just damned uncalled for. Maybe, just maybe Kristol is doing this to sabotage Romney’s prospects, seeing that Kristol and his ilk are making a killing being Obama’s kneecapper, maybe he is protecting his interests.

I’m just saying.  

Movie: The Hope and The Change

ACTION ALERT!

First, Please, Watch this Movie:

The Hope and The Change may also be purchased on DVD HERE.

Now, if you are a blogger, please, go to this link, and embed this video on to your blog.

If you are not a blogger and you are reader of this blog or even if you have came in via search engine; and you like this video, you need to get the word out. You can do this be e-mailing ALL of your friends, especially, if they voted for Obama and are now feeling the pinch. We must get this done by November 6, 2012. You see, I myself, am not a Republican. However, my friends, lets just be honest; Obama has failed to deliver the goods to the people. Because of this, he has to go and lets give Mitt Romney a chance to fix things.

Do I believe that Mitt Romney is perfect? No. But, I tend to believe Mitt Romney will be a better President. Not because Obama is black and Romney is white! That is so stupid and that “Race-Card” stuff is played out and I mean badly. It is because Mitt Romney is a businessman, and there is no bigger business than the United States! Mitt Romney will run the business and run it the way it is supposed to be run.

Putting this in personal terms from me to you; allow me to share a short story. I really should have been in this video. In 2004, I was $18.500 in debt, credit cards, cellphone, new 2000 Chevy s-10 pickup truck that I bought new. I was working for a pallet company in southwest Detroit, when I got this truck; everything was wonderful, until one day, the job ended — no warnings, no offers to go elsewhere — nothing. Here I was $18.500 in the hole and no offers of employment. I was on unemployment for a while and finally, that ran out. My parents helped as long as they could. Finally, in 2004, I could not put it off, I filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy. (Total Liquidation! I reaffirmed NOTHING!)  No, I do not blame Bush for my problems. I blame the economy in Michigan, which predated the huge crash in 2008. I also blame Democrats and their idiotic stupidity in Michigan too.

Here is a fun fact: No one bailed me out of my debt and prevented me from going under. Nobody offered me any hope and change. In defense of the auto companies, they were caught in the crossfire and the credit crisis. However, I still felt that they could have done a managed bankruptcy and protected the union workers, like my Dad. But to be fair, my dad lost much of his niceties in his health insurance. Me, on the other hand — I have no health insurance at all. I am grateful that I have my parents to fallback on, because some people do not have that. I can relate to the guy in this video, living with his Mother-in-Law. I live with my parents and I would love to live on my own, in my own house or apartment. But, in this economy; I just cannot afford, I never really could, being in so much debt. Now, I am debt free, I just would like a job or for my business to take off. But in this economy?  Good luck!

In fact, Obama basically tossed your “General Laborer” workers under the bus! Obama said that he wanted the “High Tech” jobs to come back here. What about those of us, who are not really high tech workers? Confused There are more unskilled laborers in this Country, than skilled ones. Does Obama care about them too? It is to wonder.

Anyhow, again, send this video to your Democratic Party friends and have them come here and read my story and watch the video. Maybe, just maybe we can win this election and get the United States out of the hands of this idiot that is trying to be President.

Thanks for reading,

-Patrick

It Begins: Obama’s brown shirts vandalize cars

Including one, of an unemployed Obama supporter!

Check the video:

The Story via CBS 2 in LA:

ALTA LOMA (CBS) — A case of campaign vandalism is under investigation Friday in Alta Loma. Someone keyed the word “Obama” into two cars and slashed seats in another outside a residence that had Mitt Romney campaign signs. CBS2 and KCAL9 reporter Rob Schmitt spoke to Ken Slown, owner of one of the keyed vehicles. Slown actually supports President Obama! He explained to Schmitt that he and his wife — both currently unemployed — are staying with her parents and it’s her parents who support Romney. “I don’t know if they were trying to get a point across, to vote for Obama,” said Slown, “but to do something like this is not going to get the point across.” He estimates the damage to both of his vehicles at about $3,400. In addition to both cars being keyed, his wife’s vehicle had her seats slashed, as well. Said Slown, “They pretty much cut the backs of all of the seats.” A neighbor, who also has a Romney/Ryan sign in their front yard, were also hit. “Obama” keyed in the hood and on the black gate of an SUV. A GPS unit was stolen from a Dodge Ram nearby. The truck, however, was not vandalized.

I reported this sort of stuff happening back in 2008, on my old blog; it happened then, and now it is happening again. These thugs will stop at nothing to support thier hero and that includes beating people up. They know no limits, nothing is off-limits; we must remember this come election day and vote different.

This also might explain why Romney is now leading Obama Nationally and in most states. Because of stuff like this. Here is hoping that now Ken Slown will support Romney, seeing that Obama’s Brownshirts targeted his car. It is an absolute pity that the once honorable Democratic Party, has become the communist-light party and has stooped to carrying out such tactics. Sigh Frustrated

Another good reason this President has to go

This guy lived like king, while people like me, suffered.

For the record, I do not blame this President for my issues. My issues pre-dated him in the White House. But, it’s the optics of the whole thing. The story is good, however. Go read.

That’s okay, I doubt this President will get reelected; you don’t kick your base to the curb repeatedly and mock the Netroots and get elected.

The Democratic Party’s resident useful idiot, Colin Powell, endorses Obama….again

This is not a not a big shocker, really.

Via CBS:

Colin Powell, Staying true to his roots

With 12 days to go before the presidential election, Powell publicly endorsed President Obama for re-election on “CBS This Morning” Thursday

“I voted for him in 2008 and I plan to stick with him in 2012 and I’ll be voting for he and for Vice President Joe Biden next month.”

Powell explained his choice to Charlie Rose and Norah O’Donnell:

When he took over, the country was in very very difficult straits. We were in the one of the worst recessions we had seen in recent times, close to a depression. The fiscal system was collapsing. Wall Street was in chaos, we had 800,000 jobs lost in that first month of the Obama administration and unemployment peaked a few months later at 10 percent. So we were in real trouble. The auto industry was collapsing, the housing was start[ing] to collapse and we were in very difficult straits. And I saw over the next several years, stabilization come back in the financial community, housing is now starting to pick up after four years, it’s starting to pick up. Consumer confidence is rising.”

Summarizing the past four years under Obama, Powell said “Generally we’ve come out of the dive and we’re starting to gain altitude.” He acknowledged that problems remain, saying “The unemployment rate is too high, people are still hurting in housing but I see that we’re starting to rise up.”

Turning to foreign policy, Powell said he saw “the president get us of one war, start to get us out of a second war and did not get us into any new wars. And finally I think that the actions he has taken with respect to protecting us from terrorism have been very very solid. And so, I think we ought to keep on the track that we are on.”

He goes on in this story to bash Mitt Romney and his policies. What gets me, is that the man just cannot be honest and say that he support President Obama because he is black. What is so hard about just saying, “He’s a black brother and I support him.”? It just does not make sense.

Of course, if a White man like me says this; then the left likes to yell, RAAAAACIST! Which is what they are truly good for anymore. Just ask Chris Matthews.
