Well, the point is, it turned out they didn’t, but everyone in the world thought he had them.
The weapons inspectors said he had them. He catalogued—they catalogued them. This was not some, some Cheney, you know, pipe dream. This was, in fact, catalogued. They looked at them and catalogued. What he did with them, who knows? The real mystery is, if he, if he didn’t have any of them left, why didn’t he say so? Well, a lot of people say if he had said that, he would’ve, you know, emboldened Iran and so on and so forth.

Obama is ‘beginning to not be believable to me.’
“He says ‘I’m for clean coal,’ and then he says it in his speeches, but he doesn’t say it in here. And he doesn’t say it in the minds of my own people. And he’s beginning to not be believable to me.” ” Sen. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia. RealClearPolitics.com

President Obama says “corpse man” instead of corpsman several times during a speech, February 4, 2010. Video is here:
You know, I forgot he was black tonight for an hour. Racist Chris Matthews
“You know, I forgot he was black tonight for an hour.” Chris Matthews
Racist Chris Matthews admits he thinks of President Obama as black almost all the time. Chris Matthews just can’t stop thinking about the color of people’s skin. What an admission, even for a racist like Matthews! Who cares what color his skin is? My heavens, get over it, no one cares about his skin color, we care about policies and their impact on liberty, the Constitution and the Country.
“I was trying to think about who he was tonight. It’s interesting: he is post-racial, by all appearances. I forgot he was black tonight for an hour. You know, he’s gone a long way to become a leader of this country, and past so much history, in just a year or two. I mean, it’s something we don’t even think about. I was watching, I said, wait a minute, he’s an African American guy in front of a bunch of other white people. And here he is president of the United States and we’ve completely forgotten that tonight — completely forgotten it. I think it was in the scope of his discussion. It was so broad-ranging, so in tune with so many problems, of aspects, and aspects of American life that you don’t think in terms of the old tribalism, the old ethnicity. It was astounding in that regard. A very subtle fact. It’s so hard to talk about. Maybe I shouldn’t talk about it, but I am. I thought it was profound that way.” Chris Matthews
To Chris Matthews: Just because you are focused on the color of someone’s skin, does NOT mean the rest of us are. Get over the entire skin color thing. Try this: “For a minute there, I forgot he had brown eyes.” Doesn’t that just sound stupid and ignorant? What do you expect from MSNBC and Chris Matthews.
We certainly don’t need to go back to the moon.- Obama administration official
A contrast in vision:
“We certainly don’t need to go back to the moon,” Obama administration official.
“We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.” President Kennedy
And more from President Kennedy:
Those who came before us made certain that this country rode the first waves of the industrial revolution, the first waves of modern invention, and the first wave of nuclear power, and this generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of the coming age of space. We mean to be a part of it–we mean to lead it. For the eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets beyond, and we have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace. We have vowed that we shall not Continue reading We certainly don’t need to go back to the moon.- Obama administration official
Obama Campaigned Against Spending Freeze
Great video from Real Clear Politics showing Obama Campaigned against a spending freeze at least four times during the campaign. And yet The Washington Post reports that President Obama will propose a spending freeze in his 2010 State of the Union Address.
Judge by the content of their character not the color of their skin…
Today I resolve to only listen to those who by their words and actions only judge people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin, religion, or gender, racists and sexists, in short.
- I will no longer hear people who worry about whether someone is a “light skinned Negro” without a “dialect.” Senator Harry Reid (D, Nevada). Racist!
- I will no longer hear people who call their grandmother a “typical white person.” Barack Obama (D-Illinois). Racist!
- I will no longer hear people who state “a wise Latina woman … would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male.” Justice Sotomayor (D). Sexist and Racist!
- I will no longer hear people who refer to people as “mongrels,” were members of the Continue reading Judge by the content of their character not the color of their skin…
Health Insurance penalties
In the health care bill passed last Tuesday (10/13/2009) by the Senate Finance Committee, adults who do not purchase health insurance would face an excise-tax penalty of $200 a year starting in 2014 and rising gradually to $750 in 2017.
Let’s analyze this. You can pay whatever you are paying per month now for insurance or you can forgo buying insurance and pay an annual penalty knowing that you can buy insurance later when you need it. Simple trade-off there. Pay $500/month for health insurance now or pay $200/year penalty and only pay the $500 when you need it.
If even a percentage of people wait until they are sick to get coverage, costs will go up on the people who do not try to cheat the system.
The Federal government has one method of making a “universal coverage” mandate viable: huge taxes that everyone has to pay followed by jail if they don’t. Every other method can, and will, be gamed. Look at all the other government programs that people cheat on: from military purchases, to food stamps being, to Social Security (relatives of the dead still collecting), to Medicare, to Medicaid (dump your assets so you qualify) to taxes. Government socialized health care will be no different.
Even ignoring the Constitutionality of it, do we really want jail time for not having health insurance in what is supposed to be free country?
Obama a socialist – Andy Williams
I think he wants to create a socialist country. The people he associates with are very Left-wing. One is registered as a Communist. Obama is following Marxist theory. He’s taken over the banks and the car industry. He wants the country to fail.
