“Socialism” is the Answer,” says Rep. Maxine Waters
Sometimes we don’t have to wonder what the liberals are up to. They come right out and tell us. This is California Democrat Congresswoman Maxine Waters at the recent Capital Hill Dog and Pony Show grilling oil executives over the price of oil and gas and threatening to have the government take over their companies.
Wake up and smell the coffee, Maxine. Ever heard of supply and demand? You want $2.00 gasoline then go find some $60.00 a barrel oil. It’s that simple.
Nukes and Box Cutters
Last Sunday in Pendleton, Oregon, Barack Obama, still trying to defend a defenseless position of appeasement, said,
“Iran, Cuba, Venezuela – these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don’t pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us. And yet we were willing to talk to the Soviet Union at the time when they were saying, `We’re going to wipe you off the planet.’”
“Let me be absolutely clear: Iran is a grave threat. But the Soviet Union posed an added threat. The Soviet Union had thousands of nuclear weapons, and Iran doesn’t have a single one.”
I have a question? How much do 19 box cutters cost?
Barack Obama – Change We Can Believe In?
During the CNN/YouTube Democratic Debate last July, Barack Obama was asked, “…would you be willing to meet separately, without precondition, during the first year of your administration, in Washington or anywhere else, with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea…?”
“I would”, responded Obama, “And the reason is this, that the notion that somehow not talking to countries is punishment to them — which has been the guiding diplomatic principle of this administration — is ridiculous.”
Apparently it is not so “ridiculous” today.
According to the New York Times yesterday, Susan Rice, a foreign policy advisor for the candidate said, “Mr. Obama believes that engagement at the presidential level, at the appropriate time and with the appropriate preparation, can be used to leverage the change we need.”
Forgetting Barack Obama’s boldly spoken words last year, Dr. Rice said. “But nobody said he would initiate contacts at the presidential level; that requires due preparation and advance work.”
Sounds to me like Obama was all for talking to Ahmadinejad before he was all against it.
Chicago, USA – Another U.N. Refugee Camp?
Michelle Obama’s view of Chicago sounds a lot like a disease-ridden, third-world festering slum. No wonder she wants to move to Washington, DC. Last Friday at an Obama rally in North Carolina, Michele Obama had these words to say:
“Well, what did Barack do? He became a community organizer working in some of the toughest neighborhoods on the south side of Chicago, worked for years in neighborhoods where people had a reason to give up hope, because their jobs had been lost, steel mills shut down, living in brown fields left by those closed steel plants, unsafe streets, schools deteriorating, grandparents raising grandkids. Barack spent years working with churches, busing single mothers down to City Hall to help them find their voice, building the kind of operations on the ground, just like he’s doing in this race, block by block, person by person. Now you tell me whether there’s anybody in this race who can claim to have made the same choice with their lives. You tell me. But I think that Barack Obama is the only person that can claim that kind of choice…so trust me, we’ve seen it all. Barack has seen it all.”
Mark Steyn says Chicago doesn’t sound like part of America. He suggests we need to fly in some U.N. Relief Agency. Maybe they should pull out of Burma and fly into these derelict parts of Chicago.
