Anyone who knows me or has read some of my work knows that I disagree with almost everything Obama does or says. There is a reason he was deemed the most liberal lawmaker in his short Senatorial career. That’s the most liberal of all 100 Senators! Americans are finding that out now. The honeymoon is over and the socialism is coming through.
There is one thing, however, that even I must give him credit for, and that’s controlling his talking points throughout his team.
No matter what the subject may be, when his team is in front of the press they repeat his message over and over, almost verbatim of how the President himself would state it.
Whether it is healthcare, bailouts, or gay rights, they hear and repeat his message without straying of topic. In fact, it’s hard to get them to talk about anything else.
For example, the other day I saw two of his Cabinet members, and the Sec of State Hillary Clinton all condemn the unconstitutionality of Arizona’s new immigration law.
They all took their marching orders and repeated them in separate interviews and they almost repeated each other perfectly. The fact that they were both making things up and outright lying about the bill is beside the point. They all made up the same stuff and uttered the same lies. Amazing!
Past Presidents as well as W have all had staff leaks or whistle blowers come out during their tenures, and could not control the occasional disgruntled x-aide. Obama, on the other hand has not in his year and a half Presidency.
I firmly believe that if the White House declared the earth was flat, his whole staff would be repeating it to all who would listen. And the warning would probably be “don’t stray too close to the edge”!

Anchorage made a little progress yesterday in moving the progressive grip on the City Assembly back to at least even, maybe a slight edge towards conservatism. We voted out one incumbent liberal-progressive, voted in one non-partisan, and the third seat is too close to call. Anchorage also retained two seats held by conservative incumbents. So the liberal/conservative split which was 6 to 5 may now swing to 5-6 or possibly 4-7, back in favor of conservative level headed thinking.
Now maybe our conservative and fiscally responsible Mayor can get some of his vision for the city to take root.
On another note, we got two inches of snow last night. You read that right. God I’m tired of snow!

Don’t worry, the Government will take care of you! Or will they? This is our new liberal big brother.

New York – Roberta Hanson of North Haven, Conn., had been searching for work for 22 months when she landed a part-time job weekend afternoons and nights for a nearby municipal parks and recreation department.

But now Ms. Hanson rues the day she took that work. Why? The Connecticut Department of Labor used her negligible earnings in her part-time job as the new baseline for Hanson’s unemployment benefits. She went from receiving $483 a week to getting nothing.

“Afterwards, unofficially, they said I shouldn’t have taken the job,” Hanson says…..(more)

Dennis Kicinich from Ohio voted against Obama-care last time around, but after four visits from the Commander in Chief, he has changed his mind and now says he’ll vote for it. I’d sure like to know what deals or promises the Pres. made in those visits to buy his vote. Don’t even try to tell me otherwise, that is simply absurd. Of course something was arraigned in exchange for his support.

It’s really ironic that Kicinich voted against it ever, because he is one of the most liberal peopl in DC. So really I’m not that surprised that he switched, I’d just like to know for what?

It’s just another huge lie from our so called President in a long line of others.
