There goes the neighborhood

What have been the biggest financial disasters in recent history? One would be hard to find two bigger problems than the Mortgage Crisis and the apparent failure of Detroit's "Big Three."

If ya wanna expose the cause of just about ANYTHING in American politics, what better way to do so than to just FOLLOW THE MONEY?

1)The Mortgage Crisis
Only one person, Sen. Chris Dodd, received more money from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae than Barack Obama. Why would they be giving money to Obama? The ONLY reason ANYONE gives money to a candidate is because that candidate has pledged support for policies that help THAT ENTITY, period. It isn't benevolance or good will. And now we know, at least YOU SHOULD know, that these entities were pressured by ACORN(who Barack Obama has had an extensive relationship with up to the present) to give loans to people who simply could not afford them. And so Fannie, Freddie, AIG, Leyman Brothers, they all too a fall. And who picked up the check? You. It is puzzling how Obama's close affiliation with ACORN , and his direct FINANCIAL LINK to Fannie and Freddie were not better exposed, but who was listening anyway? The media wasn't interested, and you apparently weren't either. So get out your checkbook.

2)The "Big Three"
Chrysler, GM, and Ford are the only three automakers in this country who can't seem to be profitable. They also, coincidentally, are the only three that have been strongarmed by the UAW. Honda, Toyota, Nissan, BMW, Volkswagen . . . all make cars in the U.S. and none of them are in financial trouble. And guess what? None of them have the UAW in their pocket. The "Big Three" make good cars, and they sell them competitively . . . but make FAR LESS PER VEHICLE than the others, and are therefore less prepared to endure a storm such as we find ourselves in because of the unbelieveable burden the UAW has become. The Big Three LOSES $47,000 per employee. The NON-UAW companies average a profit of $33,000 per employee. that's a difference of $80,000 per employee. How are these companies to compete with the forces of greed and corruption eating them up like a cancer?

So what candidate does the UAW support? How'd you guess! Damn you're good. It's President Elect Barack Obama! Obama has already promised to implement "The Employee Free Choice Act" which is designed to do one thing and one thing only: make unionization easier. So before ya know it, Honda, Toyota, BMW, Nissan, Volkswagen, they'll all be shaken down by Obama and the UAW, and it won't be long before cars can't be manufactured profitably in this country and all the cars in the world will be made in Mexico and China. i guess we'll blame THAT on George Bush also.

So what is the "Employee Free Choice Act?" Choice sounds good, doesn't it? Well, ask yourself this. Why would ANYONE support taking away an employee's RIGHT to a SECRET BALLOT about whether or not he wishes to be represented by a union? The answer is easy. If the secrecy of your vote is taken away it makes it far easier to intimidate people into voting the union in.

Hello to inflation, higher unemployment, and yes . . . chaos.

Unions are the #1 reason why we continue to lose manufacturing jobs to other countries such as China and Mexico. In China the minimum wage is between $43 and $60/month. And we wonder why a company would close its doors in the U.S. and relocate to China. The pensions and benefit packages extorted from the Big Three by the UAW are unconscionable and unsustainable. And this "bailout" will be eaten up by the end of January and we are just goingt o THROW more money at them . . . . WHY? Because the UAW knows the alternative is Bankruptcy COurt where the companies will be FREED from the UAW contracts that are killing them. The UAW owns the Democratic Party, and the Dems are in control. And when it fails, the Dems are to blame. Bankruptcy Court or legislation that pairs down the UAW contracts will stop the inevitable. Either that or the UAW moving in on the foreign automakers who manufacture in this country. But then that just means the will ALL close down.

We are driving companies away in droves. And Obama thinks that increasing the size and power of unions is the answer to the problem? President Bush was blamed for jobs lost, but who can list ONE THING, ONE POLICY that Bush has implemented that encouraged this?

And while I am on the subject . . . Obama promised to end the war in Iraq. And YOU fell for it. He campaigned on the mistakes made in Iraq and he is going to do nothing but INCREASE our presence in Afghanistan, move into Pakistan, and stay in Iraq where we SHOULD BE. But he apparently found LOTS OF MORONS to believe he was for "change," and well . . .

HERE WE ARE. Nobama in 2012.

I TOLD YOU SO

First, let me say this: This "Obama guy" is so incredibly full of himself, what is this with the "Office of the President Elect?" There IS no such office, period. But does that matter? Apparently not. This guy just lives in a fantasy world. Nothing he says matters, nothing he does matters, he just lives in the fantasy world that 96% of blacks and 53% of Americans encouraged him to create. So now we have the "Office" of President Elect. What a joke.

Did you REALLY think that Obama came up so fast through the "Chicago Machine" without being as dirty as all the rest? Do you think his affiliations with Rev. Wright, Rev. Phleger, William Ayers, and Tony Rezko were just coincidental? So what's in TODAY'S NEWS?

Illinois' governor, Rod Blagojevich has been taken into custody on federal charges stemming from his attempt to SELL Obama's vacant seat in the senate to the highest bidder. You might recall, Illinois' LAST governor is sitting in the penitentiary as we speak and THIS guy, Blagojevich, promised to "change" the way things are done in Illinois, in Chicago, but it looks like more of the same to me.

Heard in court-authorized wiretaps trying to extort financial gain for himself, Blagojevich allegedly discussed the possibility of receiving a substantial salary working for a non-profit foundation or labour union and a cabinet post or ambassadorship for himself in return for apointing Obama's replacement, the affidavit says.

Stop right there for a second. Labor Union? gee, I wonder who could make THAT happen? Oh, don't be cynical! I am sure the hundreds of millions the labor unions gave to Obama's campaign had ANYTHING to do with this! How could you even THINK of such a thing??? But what is more puzzling is the mention of "a cabinet post" or "ambassadorship." Those are two things that are in the exclusive province of the PRESIDENT. So there WERE talks.

And you heard it HERE first: during the campaign, what Obama Said PUBLICLY regarding who would fill his vacant seat if he were to be elected, he PROPERLY RESPONDED that it was none of his concern, that it was the duty of the governor to make the appointment.

Aha! But now we KNOW, not THINK, not SPECULATE, but KNOW due to wiretapped conversations, that a high-ranking member of Obama's transition team was bartering with the governor, offering to name the governor's WIFE to paid positions on various corporate boards in exchange for OBAMA selecting the successor.

I'm sorry, but if ANYONE thinks that this doesn't smell to the high heavens, I don't know how you sleep at night, and I can CERTAINLY understand why you cared so little about the man's character as he was campaigning. He SAID it was none of his concern, because it wasn't. But behind closed doors he was sure trying to BUY that senate seat for one of his own, using labor unions, cabinet posts, ambassadorships, influence with corporate donors, ANYTHING to get what he wants.

This makes the FOURTH Illinois governor in forty years to be arrested. Maybe he and the former governor can be cell mates. But here's a little tidbit for ya. Remember Tony Rezko? He's awaiting sentencing on HIS corruption and bribery charges. Guess who he raised money for? You guessed it. Blagojevich and Obama. Oh, but I am sure Rezko's involvement with helping Obama was all on the up-and-up! Right? I am sure he was just corrupt when helping Blagejevich! Yeah, Obama is above all that stuff for sure!! Just keep believing that. And when are ya going to come look at that bridge in Louisiana I am trying to sell? I just know you are going to love it!

And lastly, why would I be surprised that this is the way President Obama will operate? That's how he got elected, BUYING votes by promising programs and benefits to people who saw nothing else. Who cares if it will bankrupt the country, right? "Just promise me a check and I'll vote for ya." That's our new motto. Now that "Chicago Politics" has taken over the country.

What is this? We have such a thirst for impeachment proceedings we have to elect a Democrat every once in a while to remind ourselves of how much fun SCANDAL and CORRUPTION can be? Or is this a secret strategy to revive America's newspapers, which will no doubt be filled with scandal until the day we oust this dirtbag from the Whitehouse, in turn driving up sales and advertising of countless bankrupt newspapers(I use that term very loosely)? I can't figure it out.

But what do I know? I'm just one of the last standing PATRIOTS whose vote isn't for sale.

GOD BLESS AMERICA ANYWAY!
