One down, 36 to go

 

Van Jones bit the dust. Officially, he “retired” (at about 40) from federal service. He did not retire; he was pushed out by the Obama administration. He and they did not want their finger prints on the event, so the thought up this story to cover the actual truth.

Who is responsible for Van Jones taking a long hike? World Net Daily first broke the story when Van Jones was appointed. But, they were not able to generate a lot of heat to get Van Jones to quit or even get the Obama administration to blink. Glen Beck has been raking Van Jones over the coals for about the last 10 days. The amount of heat Glen Beck generated would have to be what caused Van Jones to quit. Sean Hannity started to do stories on Van Jones this past week. To sum up the credit, World Net Daily has to be given partial credit for breaking the story. Glen Beck has to be given credit for actually getting Van Jones to quit because he was generating a lot of heat. Other talk show hosts were playing off of what Glen Beck had uncovered. Glen Beck’s research team is second to none. They make absolutely certain that Glen is protected when he stands in front of a camera or a microphone and tells it like it is. Part of the credit also has to be given to the Obama team that fumbled the ball at every opportunity. They would have to be likened to the “Keystone Kops” of old movie fame.

The question that has to be asked now is: Who is the next target on the Obama team? There are a lot of shady characters as Czars on the Obama team. Some have already been exposed during the Van Jones exposure as being communist or part of communist groups.

The remaining question about Van Jones is: how did this man get so close to the President? With the background he had there is no way he could have been vetted by the FBI. He must have been vetted by the White House. That says a lot about the White House and their lack of ability to get things done. Either they did not know who Van Jones was, which makes them incompetent. Or they knew who Van Jones was which makes them part of the problem. If they knew who Van Jones was and still approved him, how did these people get approved? Keep walking backwards until you get to the person or persons who are responsible for all these communists and socialist sympathizers getting high level access to the President of the United States. I don’t know about you, but I get real nervous whenever any President gets near a communist. But I am especially worried when THIS president gets near a communist. Barack Obama always seems to have a lot of communists around him. That is probably just a coincidence.

 The next Czar to fall will most likely be the Science Czar, John Holdren. John Holdren advocates forced sterilization of women. That position and many other controversial positions will put John Holdren in the cross hairs of Glen Beck and other conservative talk shows. Now that one Czar has fallen because of an investigation into the background of Van Jones, it is fair game to investigate the background of any Czar. Any Czar with a shaky background will find himself/herself on the hot seat real fast. Since the Obama administration is particularly thin skinned, being on the hot seat is another way of saying that they are on the way out. If I was an Obama Czar with a shady past or thin resume, I would look for better pastures real fast. That is before the hammer falls from an external investigation. The Obama administration would do well to clean house before another investigation shoots another one down. Of course, I do enjoy the show of one investigation after another turning up dirt on some new Czar. The question is will Obama do the right thing or try and hide other incompetent person, only time will tell.

Good News on the Obama front!

 

The wheels are definitely coming off of the Obama Express. In November, 2008, he seemed unstoppable. He had a Democrat Congress to work with and the news media in his back pocket. Then, on inauguration day he seemed to step in it a bit with his speech. Still, with a fawning press, what could go wrong?

Today, seven months into the Obama Presidency, the wheels have come completely off the bus. His healthcare proposal is facing opposition from the public and even members of his own party. There are polls out today that show that for the first time in a very long time, more Americans consider themselves conservative than liberal in every state in the country.

Also 57% of the public does not believe that the stimulus bill has done anything to stimulate the economy. Only 19% think that the stimulus bill has actually stimulated the economy. Looking to the future, 60% of the public does not think that the stimulus bill will do anything to stimulate the economy. These are not the kind of numbers that help keep Democrats warm at night. They are the kind of numbers that give Democrats nightmares of election debacles. They appear to be staring at one in 2010.

There is a report out that Senator Barbara Boxer is likely to face stiff competition for her seat in the Senate. She is likely to face a Republican that will have enough money to at least match her dollar for dollar, if not outspend her. Also, the potential Republican challenger is articulate and obviously intelligent. She has run major businesses in the past. Barbara Boxer is widely known to be one of the Senate’s least intelligent Senators. This would be a major pick-up of a seat in the blue state of California.

Other Democrats across the country are looking at potential challengers and are seeing people that are well-funded and articulate. Democrats are known for walking in lock step with the Democrat leadership, which makes them vulnerable to quick thinking challengers in areas that are not solidly Democrat blue. In marginal districts or districts that generally vote Republican, Democrat Congressmen and Senators will face opposition that could easily dislodge them from their cushy digs.

I also read an article on World Net Daily by Hilmar von Campe. He grew up in Germany during the 1930’s and saw the rise of Hitler. He has written a book about his experience called, “Defeating the Totalitarian Lie”. His parents were forced to enroll him in the Hitler Youth at age 10 and the army at age 18. According to Mr. von Campe, the steps Hitler took in the 1930’s and the steps Barack Obama is taking today are remarkably similar. He is particularly worried about the euthanasia program that Hitler endorsed and implemented and the one that Obama has written into the healthcare legislation. Neither was called euthanasia by their authors. Once Hitler got his plan approved, he started with making the Jews non-people. Obama hasn’t had his plan approved, but he has talked about needing to reduce the cost of medical care for seniors. The easiest way is to deny services to those deemed too old to be useful to the country. That would make the healthcare plan delivery unequal.

We can only hope that the Democrats cling to this failing health care proposal for a while longer. The more they talk about implementing government healthcare, the lower their polls go. Pretty soon, we might even hear about Democrats in the Northeast being worried about their seats. That would be a good thing. Fear of losing your seat makes you a better Senator or Congressman. You suddenly take an interested look at what the people in your district (state) are telling you.

I always thought the wheels would come off for Obama. I just never thought they would come off so fast. The fact they have come off so fast gives us some clear shots at cleaning up the current mess. It also minimizes the amount of mess that he could create. Those are good things.
