Obama Lemonade

Paraphrasing Forrest Gump...

Life is like a basket of fruit. Sometimes you're handed a lemon.

Now it's time to make lemonade!

Obamanomics... Wealth Redistribution A First Grader Can Understand!

What does Obama mean when he says big government must tax and redistribute "your" wealth! Ask your child...


Tell your child they must study, work hard in school, get good grades, and excel -- skipping play and television until they have completed all their homework, and done it well.

Then tell your child that, even though they did a great job and fully deserve A's on their homework, the teacher must give them C's instead because there are other "deserving" students who played and watched television, who did not study, and who must be given part of other children's grades so they too can pass.

Tell your child they must share and "redistribute their wealth" -- their hard work, studying, and good grades -- to other children who did not study or do their homework, because that's the caring and "fair" thing to do.

It won't take long for your child to figure out that they aren't being rewarded for their hard work. It won't take them long to figure out that they too can loaf, play, and watch television, get by with mediocre performance, and depend on other students to do the work for them, and share their grades!

That's Obamanomics... even a first grader can understand!


Tell your child they must work and earn their allowance. Tell them there will be no playing or watching television until they have completed their chores and done them well... and if they don't do their chores, they will not get an allowance.

Then, when it's time to give your child their allowance for their hard work, tell them they can not have the full amount. Tell them that you must take part of what they earned and give it to the child next door who played, watched television, and did not do their chores. Tell them that's the caring, human, and "fair" thing to do.

Ask if your child understands why that is the "fair" and right thing to do with the money they worked so hard and diligently to earn.

It won't take long for your child to figure out that there's no need for them to work and do their chores. They too can sit and watch television and wait for their "share" of other children's wealth -- their hard work and allowances -- to be "redistributed down to them".

That's Obamanomics... even a first grader can understand!

Obama: Pork, Pigs, and Lipstick...

Was it sexism, inexperience, or just poor judgment on the part of Obama?

Was Obama referring to Sarah Palin when he said: “You can put lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig.”

According to news reports, Obama's audience clearly believed his comment was directed at Sarah Palin:

" ...Many in the Obama crowd leaped to their feet in delight - apparently taking the 'pig' comment as a direct slam at Palin." (New York Post)

" ...The audience, which had a particularly strong reaction whenever Obama mentioned Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, appeared to enjoy the 'lipstick' comment the most." (Reuters)

" ...Many in the audience in Lebanon laughed uproariously when Mr Obama made his lipstick remark, clearly taking it to be a reference to the first female Republican on a presidential ticket..." (Telegraph.co.uk)

Obama said nothing to his audience to change their perceptions, obviously happy with their reaction.

Obama now wants to "change" his story, saying he didn't mean what he said, or say what he meant.

Perhaps Obama just failed to comprehend and understand the meaning of his statements.

Perhaps Obama's thoughts were clouded by the vision of "pork and earmarks" dancing through his head... while dreaming of spending your tax dollars on all his pet Liberal projects... thinking of paybacks to all his Liberal supporters... and imposing his Liberal agenda on all Americans!

Uh, uh, um, uh ahhh, uh, um, ah, er... as much as Obama would like to "change" the facts, one thing we do know is that Obama called someone a pig.


Perhaps it's just another case of Obama's POOR JUDGMENT!!!

High Oil, Gas, and Energy Prices... Thank The Democrats ! ! !

Angry over those high gas prices? Are skyrocketting gasoline prices taking a real bite out of your wallet?

Blame the Democrats and environmentalists!!! ...Don't blame President Bush.

Democrats (Liberals) and environmentalists are responsible for much of America's dependence on foreign oil, for high gasoline prices, high heating oil prices, high natural gas prices, high energy costs, and for the TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS that have gone and are going to other countries.

TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS in oil related spending and revenue could have and should have gone to American petroleum suppliers, to American businesses, to American workers, to American families, and for American taxes -- taxes that could have gone to America's education system and to increase American's incomes!

Democrats and environmentalists have blocked efforts to drill for more of America's oil and natural gas! Democrats and environmentalists have blocked efforts to build more refineries, to develop coal liquification and gasification, to develop America's oil shale, to expand the use of nuclear power, and more.

Democrats and environmentalists continue to block drilling in the Artic National Wildlife Reserve (ANWR) which some estimates predict could produce 30 billion barrels of oil. At $75 per barrel, that's 2.25 TRILLION DOLLARS that could and should remain in America. Even more oil and natural gas could be produced from along our coasts and in other areas within the United States.

And what about all the jobs associated with American oil and gas? Some projections estimate ANWR alone could produce as many as 735,000 jobs and multiple billions of dollars in revenue to the state and federal government. A study by the National Defense Council Foundation projects that ANWR could produce 1,000,000 new jobs for Americans in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Where are these jobs going now -- along with those TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS in oil revenue, salaries, taxes, and American dollars? Those jobs are going to Iran, Venezuela, and other nations to support their economies and to fund their military... to Iran to help develop nuclear weapons and missiles to possibly destroy Israeli and American cities.

It takes time to locate, drill, produce, build new refineries, and distribute oil and gasoline. That oil, gas, and gasoline would be available NOW -- IF -- Democrats and environmentalists had not blocked past efforts. Those TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS could have remained in America and held down our balance of payments -- IF -- Democrats and environmentalists had not blocked past efforts.

America must work to produce new, plentiful, cheap, and renewable fuels and energy, but that will take time. In the mean time, we will continue to rely on petroleum -- AMERICAN oil, gasoline, and natural gas. As we work to develop and produce those new energy sources, we must start drilling in ANWR, along our coasts, and other areas for the oil we need now!

As for those caribou that were supposed to be driven to extinction by the Alaska pipeline... just more of the usual liberal scare tactics.

The caribou are thriving! The Central Arctic caribou herd which numbered around 6,000 in 1977 when the Alaska pipeline begun delivering oil has grown to more than 27,000 by 2006!

DEMOCRATS...

Stop blocking access to American's oil and gas!

Stop blocking efforts to reduce the price of oil and gas!
