Please keep Gibbs around...
This was probably one of the best replies this man has ever given to a question in the briefing room. No "umm,umm,umm" thoughout the entire 1.5 minutes. Why? Because it was all about nonsense and not a reply that required much thought. This man cannot articulate anything. President Obama has to be embarrassed by now. I am sure there have been discussions to replace him. Because after all they told us when he was hired that he was going to be the most articulate White House Press Secretary we had ever seen. Tony Snow would run circles around this guy. Mr. President please keep him around. It shows how you and the rest of your crowd is not up to the task. It shows how incompetent this entire administration is. He could have been a great tap dancer. No one can ever get a straight answer from this guy or anything that makes any sense. There are a lot of empty suits in this administration starting with the President himself...stay tuned...

What hypocrisy from Charles Rangel...
This was posted on Politico yesterday by Glenn Thrush. It is unbelievable. This man is the Chairman of the House and Means Committee. They write tax laws. He is a tax cheat himself and if the House Democrats had any morals they would actually ask for his resignation. Yet he is sponsoring a Bill of this nature. These are the same Democrats who approved another tax cheat Timothy Geithner as our Treasury Secretary.
Rangel introduces offshore tax-cheat bill
Every tax bill introduced by House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel (D-NY) is getting the once-over from the GOP, so it's no surprise they took note of a bill, introduced by Rangel and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) cracking down on offshore tax cheats.
The “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act of 2009” -- introduced by Baucus and Rangel in conjunction with the Obama administration -- would mandate Individuals with offshore accounts provide details and list them on tax returns. Rules governing trusts would be "significantly strengthened" to prevent the true beneficiaries from hiding front entities.
“This bill offers foreign banks a simple choice – if you wish to access our capital markets, you have to report on U.S. account holders,” said Rangel, in a statement posted on the committee's homepage. “I am confident that most banks will do the right thing and help to make bank secrecy practices a thing of the past.”
Rangel has never been accused of committing any of the tax shelter shenanigans the bill targets, but he has admitted to underreporting assets on his House financial disclosure forms and reportedly failed to document income from a condo he owns in the Dominican Republic.
And that prompted this response from a National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Tory Mazzola: “Is tax-cheat Charlie Rangel really the best watchdog?... Maybe it’s because he knows where the loopholes are. He’s taken ‘do as I say not as I do’ to an embarrassing new low.”
Here is from an article on March 3rd, 2009...
The pot has issued the kettle an ultimatum: tax dodgers beware.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, who was forced to fork up $34,000 in unpaid back taxes, told the House Ways and Means Committee Tuesday that the Obama administration will be going after people who avoid and evade taxes.
How about starting with his own administration first.

Still no troops...
It is close to 60 days and our President is still playing politics with our men and women in harms way. He is still thinking about whether to send additional troops to Afghanistan or not. Just like it took him months to decide what kind of dog to get for the White House. This is much more serious than that but his hands are tied by the kooks on the left. I heard rumors last night that he may send half of the troops (20,000) requested by General McChrystal. He appointed this General himself relieving the General that was in charge before. He said McChrystal would bring a new strategy. He has but Obama is not listening because of the upcoming elections on Nov.3rd where there are close races in NJ and Virginia. Two pivotal states he must carry in 2012. Some of you of the opposing view will say, " Some is better than nothing, you Republicans are never satisfied." That is a moronic statement to make. Your experts on the ground advice you they need an additional 40,000 troops. That is what they are there for, to lead and make those decisions. Yet our president who has never run a candy store wants to dictate to our experts there how to manage this war. My friends if we are in this war we are there to win. Squash the enemy with full force and then get our troops home. So far this month of October we have lost 55 of our brave men and women. Our President does not care. If he did he would take the advice of our Generals. Our men and women are dying and this man has no strategy and when one is proposed by the experts he plays politics with their lives. He is not even communicating with his field Generals on an ongoing basis. If he cared he would be on the phone periodically with these men. How can a CEO of a corporation successfully manage his business if he does not hold meetings with his staff on a regular basis? He cannot, and that is what our Commander in Chief is doing, stay tuned...

NJ Gubernatorial Race-Nov. 3rd
Guys this race along with the race in Virginia are very important if we want to hold on to our liberties. It is very close because there is an Independent (Chris Daggett) playing the spoiler role and taking votes from the GOP candidate Chris Christie. John Corzine the incumbent is getting lots of money from the DNC. He had a visit from Obama the other day to help give him a boost. We need to get the vote out in these two races if we want to hold on to our freedoms.

Funny but true...
COWS
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
THE
CONSTITUTION
They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq .... Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for
over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE
10 COMMANDMENTS
The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse or Congress is this -- you cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians .... it creates a hostile work environment.
Also, think about this ... if you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone --
YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM! It is time for America to speak up!

Old news but worth seeing again...
This man is totally classless. In this interview he does what Democrats do best, name calling. He also made me crack up when he said that James Carville has principles. Listen to it...Even Democrats are appalled.

Just a smoke screen...
The Obama administration has picked a fight with Fox News for the last few months. They have sent out their top guns Rahm Emmanuel and David Axelrod the other day to do some of his dirty work. They both claimed that Fox News was not a legitimate news organization. Obama himself has constantly whined about the coverage he gets from Fox News. You see the state run media has fallen in line like nice little boys and Obama can do no wrong. Not the case at Fox News. Fox is the bad one here for presenting both sides of the story. But Fox does this only during their opinion based programming. They always bring someone of the opposing view which is more than I can say about the other networks. But you see when reporting the news there are not two sides to a story. News networks are supposed to report the story as it is and we the viewers decide. That is why Fox's motto is "WE REPORT, YOU DECIDE." Their job is not to give us their perspective on the story. Their job is to report the news. That is why there was little coverage on Van Jones, Acorn and the other damaging stories out there. If they report on these things it looks really bad for this administration. So they have stayed away from pieces that would hurt Obama. Fox News has not and have reported on these scandals because it is their job to inform the public on any developing story. They do not decide for us what we should and should not hear about this administration. My friends the Acorn story was a big one yet the state run media did not report on it. This is very dangerous. We cannot let any administration control the Press. Our liberties/freedom are eroding right before our eyes and some Americans just don't care. They are too busy listening to shows like Jerry Springer and American Idol. Now why would an administration pick a fight with a major news network? That does not make sense and is a losing battle every single time. Fox News has more listeners than the rest combined. Yet who is advising Obama to continue this nonsense? Why does he insult the viewers of Fox News when he is the President of all Americans not just of those that agree with him. There are many independent voters with no party affiliation who listen to Fox. My take is that this is all a SMOKE SCREEN to pass his HEALTHCARE bill. The lights have been turned off and his advisers want him to continue wasting all this positive energy on something that is actually helping Fox News. Their ratings have sky rocketed. Why do they continue to do this? Because when the lights are turned back on this Government run Healthcare Bill will have passed. This is his most important piece of legislation and he has promised over and over again that before the end of the year we will have a Government run Healthcare program. He has placed all his eggs in one basket and there is no turning back. Our freedom to choose which healthcare package is good for our families will have been taken from us. And we all know that the Government cannot run anything yet some Bubbas Americans are letting this happen. We are losing our freedoms and if he is there for two terms America will not look the same. Our men and women have fought wars throughout the years to preserve our freedom. We cannot let one man steal these from us. It is our choice to act or pay the consequences later, Stay tuned...
