In 2008, the Obama Political Machine was flawless first destroying the Clinton Machine in the old Democrat Party and then finally demolishing John McCain, a weak Republican candidate. Of course, Obama had virtually no experience and no record of any kind in business, or in politics that could be used as an anvil against him. Obama did have the Reverend Wright and various other Socialist and Communist friends as baggage; but neither the left wing lame stream media, nor McCain made an issue of Obama's friends. And, further whether Obama was born in America or not, the fact is that he is not American in his thinking, which should also have been an issue in 2008; though it did not happen.
In 2008, Socialist Barack Obama was smart, had a great smile and family and he could give a good speech using a TelePrompter. Obama was disciplined and he stayed on message to win. Even though McCain had the resume, McCain was an old man, way beyond his years, trying to beat a media savvy Obama who had the solid support of the left wing lame stream media and a billion dollars to spend on the campaign. Further, there were many in America that liked the idea of the first Black, or in this case, half Black President in American history. As a former American history and government teacher, that fact was never lost on this Blogger; though I did not vote for Obama because he was and is a Socialist; plain and simple.
That was all then and this is now. In 2010, Obama took a "shellacking" at the polls losing the House of Representatives and nearly losing the Senate because of ObamaCare and other Socialists Schemes. The bloom was off the rose. The United States is a center right country. It became very clear during the President's first two years in office that he is a left wing Socialist ideologue. Actions speak louder than Obama's propaganda. Once the American people saw the real Obama, they rejected him and many Socialist members of Congress during 2010 elections at both the federal and state level.
And now, Obama has a record of failure during his first term. Smiles and great speeches aside, cards talk and numbers don't lie. Obama's borrowing and deficit spending Trillion dollar SwindleUS Plans failed to create jobs. In total, Obama will add $5 Trillion to the $16 Trillion National Debt, during his first term in office, the highest amount of any President in American history, with no end in sight.
There are 25 million Americans either unemployed, under employed working part time that want full time work, or who have just given up looking for work altogether. The number of people on Food Stamps has grown from 20 million when Obama took office to 46 million. The foreclosure rate is the highest in American history. The poverty rate has gone up under Obama. These numbers are all real and they are nothing to smile about. Nor can this data be disguised. It is what it is.
As such, all of Obama's campaign themes have fallen flat. Class Warfare, attacks on Romney's business experience and the actual word "Forward", which is Obama's new positioning for 2012 rather than "Hope and Change". Further, the notion that Obama is Black is now of no particular consequence. That ship has sailed. Instead, what Americans see is Jimmy Carter II. Obama still has a great smile and family and can give a good speech; but unfortunately for the President, his failed record is apparent like an anvil around his neck.
Mitt Romney is starting to look like the next President of the United States, while Obama is starting to look more and more like a failed one term President. As such, Obamanistas appear to be thrashing around for a theme that resonates. The reality is that putting lip stick on a pig doesn't change the fact that it is still a pig, which is why Obama is failing to resonate with the American people. Obamanistas ran a brilliant, take no prisoner campaign in 2008. 2012 is another day because Obama is now a failed President with a record.

Holder Orders Florida To Halt Voter Purge
Socialist Attorney General Eric Holder, Obama's lackey, has ordered the state of Florida to halt a purge of illegal voters. Apparently, Florida state officials have identified as many as 182,000 Florida "voters" that may not be citizens on the roles. Remember hanging chads in the 2004 election and Bush versus Gore that boiled down to the state of Florida.
If in fact there are 182,000 illegal voters in Florida, since Florida will be a battle ground state, where the election could be close, naturally Holder wants those votes counted because they are more likely to be for Obama than for Romney. Remember, Obama comes from Chicago, where the dead vote.
None of this should be any surprise, given Socialist President Obama's history as a Community Organizer and legal counsel for ACORN, the organization convicted of voter fraud. Remember, Socialists will lie, cheat or steal to stay in office to continue feeding at the trough. Holder's action is just one more indication of how far Socialists will go to rig elections. As such, Governor Rick Scott of Florida needs to go to court to get this done.
There should be no illegal voters on the roles in Florida, or any other state. Other Republican governors should follow Walker's lead to make sure that only legally registered American citizens are allowed to vote. Some of these state elections could be very close in 2012 and 2014. We need to make sure that our elections are not based on fraud.
We need to take back our country in 2012 and 2014 by sweeping Socialists at all levels of government, including President Obama, out of office. To do so, we must recognize that Socialists play dirty. As such, we must be vigilant in making sure that only legally registered American voters are allowed to vote. This may mean poll watching and challenging voter lists. The Socialists will scream and do everything they can to prevent purging of illegal voters; but we can't relent.
We must elect Conservatives in 2012 and 2014 to prevent the bankruptcy of our nation. Many of Obama's PEEP's, feeding at the trough, are opposed to sound government and proper fiscal management because they don't want to see the gravy train end. Too bad. We need to take back our country to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren. We can to it. We must do it in order to maintain our country as the greatest nation ever conceived in human history.

Watch The Recall Election In Wisconsin
Socialists in Wisconsin are attempting to recall Republican Governor Scott Walker in a June 5 special election. As a replay, Milwaukee Socialist Mayor Tom Barrett, who was defeated by Walker in 2010, by 5 points, is running again to replace Walker. This fight is primarily over Collective Bargaining Rights and Benefits for public union employees, which were curtailed by the Republican Governor and legislature. While Socialists gathered nearly a million signatures to get this Recall election on the ballot, it now appears that Walker is ahead in the polls and if all goes well, the Recall will fail.
It is especially interesting that 39% of other union members in the state are supporting Walker, which is horrifying to Socialists and Obamanistas. This is all probably happening because under Walker unemployment has fallen to 6.8%, well below the national average and Walker has gotten state spending under control so much so that Wisconsin may very well post a surplus. The reality is that Governor Scott Walker is doing a great job, which may be the reason one of the major liberal newspapers in Wisconsin has come out against the Recall. And, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett has made a financial mess in his city.
All eyes are on Wisconsin and this Recall Election. A win for Walker will be a major loss for public employee unions as other Conservative Governors around the country are also seeking to roll back collective bargaining and benefits for state employees to prevent the bankruptcy of their states. Further, the National Socialist Party, under the direction of Obama, has thrown tons of money at this Recall Election. If the Socialists lose, it will be an indication as to what will happen next November. While Obama carried Wisconsin by big numbers in 2008, the state is now in play. As of now, polls show that Wisconsin is a toss up at best and that perhaps Mitt Romney is even ahead. This may be the reason Obama is not spending any time in Wisconsin. Socialists see a loss coming in this Recall Election and they don't want Obama associated with the loss.
This potential loss in Wisconsin, along with losses in the Socialist primaries that President Obama suffered in Arkansas, West Virginia and Kentucky where Obama lost 40% of the vote to uncommitted and unknown candidates, one of whom is in federal prison in West Virginia, is scaring the hell out of Obamanistas. Obama would not have carried these states anyway; but for a sitting President to lose 40% of the votes from his own party in a primary election is unprecedented. It just validates Obama's falling numbers in the polls. Except for die hard radical Socialists, Obama is a very unpopular President who is looking more and more like a one termer. Obama is looking like Jimmy Carter II, particularly since the jobs report continues to get worse.
If Governor Scott Walker beats back this Recall Election, Socialists will down play their loss; but you can bet it will send shock waves through the Socialist Party. Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has already parted ways with Obama on extending the Bush Tax Cuts. That is not happening because Pelosi suddenly saw the light. It is happening because Pelosi is starting to see the writing on the wall, which includes both an Obama loss and the Republicans taking over the entire Congress. Pelosi is trying to cut a deal now, while they have any leverage because she knows that if Republicans win big in November, Socialists will have no leverage related to tax policy, or much else.
So watch Wisconsin on June 5. It will be an indicator of things to come just like the elections in 2010. We are going to take back our country in 2012 and 2014. To do so, we must sweep these Socialists, at all levels of government, including President Obama, out of office. We need to elect Conservatives, like Scott Walker to get our country back on track. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren. We must do in all states what Governor Walker has done in Wisconsin. We must roll back 100 years of Socialism to prevent the bankruptcy of the states and the United States. It will be a dirty, tough job; but the survival of our nation depends on our success.

Obama The Job Killer
The jobs report in May shows unemployment going back up to 8.2% as American companies only added 69,000 jobs for the month. Prior months have also been adjusted to show less job growth than previously believed. The reality is that real national unemployment is around 15% or higher when all are counted, the unemployed, the under employed working part time that want full time work and those that have just given up looking for work altogether. After Obama borrowing and deficit spending nearly $5 Trillion added to our $16 Trillion National Debt in his first term, the highest level in American history, Obama has failed to stimulate economic development, or create jobs in our country. Obama is after all a job killer.
None of this will change as long as Obamanistas remain in office, which is the reason we must sweep Socialists, at all levels of government, including President Obama out of office in 2012 and 2014. Once done, in order to get our economy back on track, a newly elected President Romney will need to do the following:
1. Repeal ObamaCare if it is not struck down by the Supreme Court. Business is terrified of this new entitlement and is pushing more jobs overseas to avoid it.
2. Make the Bush Tax Cuts Permanent, while real tax reform is developed to bring some certainty back into the markets. Corporate Income taxes should be cut to no more than 20% to be competitive with other countries.
3. Wipe away the 11,000 Obama job killing regulations that were added by Executive Order.
4. Begin to cut the size of government by imposing a hiring freeze to eliminate 500,000 federal government civilian employees, out of the current 2.65 million, in the next five years through normal attrition. Bring federal spending down to no more than 18% of GDP from Obama's 25%.
5. Re-purpose the Environmental Protection Agency as the Environmental Solutions Agency run by managers committed to economic growth and job creation, not job killers.
6. Implement a 50 year all of the above Energy Plan designed to make the United States energy independent. The Plan must include oil, oil and gas shale, nuclear, clean coal, geo thermal and other renewables as they become more economically feasible.
7. Roll back the powers of the National Labor Relations Board to make it harder to unionize industries.
8. Eliminate Collective Bargaining for Public Sector Employees and bring their total compensation in line with the private sector to cut costs.
9. Eliminate Dodd Frank Regulations and or scale them back considerably.
10. Eliminate Sarbanes Oaxley, or scale it back considerably because compliance is costing billions of dollars each year.
11. Put in place a responsible plan to end deficit spending, balance our federal budget and pay down the National Debt. This includes eliminating many redundant federal programs, commissions, agencies and departments.
12. Reform Entitlements to make sure that Social Security and Medicare are financially sound instead of headed toward bankruptcy.
13. Fix our failing public schools to insure that learning is taking place not Socialist indoctrination.
American business, demonized by Obama, is sitting on $2 Trillion in cash that is not being invested in the United States as long as Obamanistas remain in power. Obama's proposals for higher spending, higher taxes and more regulations are job killers. Obama has to go in order to unleash the American growth machine.
We have to take back our country in 2012 and 2014 to prevent the bankruptcy of the United States. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren. So when you see the jobs report in the news, just understand that Obama is a job killer. We must make Obama a one term President and elect more Tea Party Conservatives to Congress to get our country back on track.
None of this will change as long as Obamanistas remain in office, which is the reason we must sweep Socialists, at all levels of government, including President Obama out of office in 2012 and 2014.

Planned Parenthood Attacks Mitt Romney
Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion mill, has come out swinging in attacks on Mitt Romney. Planned Parenthood implemented a $1.4 million ad buy in the states of Iowa and Florida targeting Mitt Romney because he is Pro Life. It really should be no surprise since Planned Parenthood is in business to provide about 350,000 abortions a year, as a primary money maker. This is blood money and they are using it to attack Mitt Romney because he is Pro Life.
And, it should be no surprise that Planned Parenthood has endorsed Socialist President Obama because he supports unlimited access to abortion, including partial birth abortion and for minors without parental consent. This is the radical Socialist position. The good news is that polls now show that 50% of Americans are Pro Life, while about 40% are now Pro Abortion. Hearts and minds are changing because the technology is showing that life begins at conception. It is time to go on Mitt Romney's website and give to support his candidacy and human life. The choice is real.
Recently, Planned Parenthood was outed as one of their Counselors was filmed advising a woman to get an abortion to deal with sex selection. The woman was pregnant with a girl and she wanted a boy. This happens all the time in countries like China and India; but should not be happening in the US. Matter of fact, the House of Representatives is considering legislation to ban abortion for purposes of sex selection. Members of Congress should add to the list abortion a ban on abortion for the sole purpose of after sex birth control.
While abortion may be tolerable if the mother's life is really in danger, or in cases of rape or incest, let there by no doubt that in all cases it is still infanticide. Abortion is the murder of an innocent baby since human life begins at conception. Planned Parenthood receives about $500 million in federal tax payer dollars each year. Mitt Romney opposes federal funding of Planned Parenthood because this money is indirectly used to support abortion murder. No tax payer money should be used to support abortion under any circumstances. Mitt Romney is right on this issue. If Planned Parenthood is to remain in business, radical left wing Socialists will give their money to support this organization so our tax payer money is not needed.
This is all part of the culture war going on in America. We have to take back our country to restore moral values, common sense and decency. We have to take back our country to protect the unborn and preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren. We can do it. We must do it to protect the sanctity of life. Go on Mitt Romney's website and give money to support his candidacy. It is a matter of life and death.

It Is About Education - Stupid
In the last thirty years with the rise of teacher unions, we have seen the high school drop out rate sky rocket in the United States. While nationally about 70% of kids graduate from high school, there are many school districts and some states where more than 50% of young kids never graduate from high school even though we spend more on education than any other country in the world. These under educated Americans, who lack job skills of any kind, end up in the unemployment mix. They are becoming part of what is termed structural unemployment because they just can't compete with their counterparts around the world that are better educated and or willing to work harder.
President Obama and all his Socialist pals always complain about growing income inequality in the United States. They are right in that there are Have's and Have Not's; but this has occurred because some Americans are well educated and or have marketable job skills, while others are poorly educated, or have no marketable job skills. And, the problem will only get worse unless we fix public education and that means radical change, not just tinkering around the edges.
First, we have to end collective bargaining for public school teachers and other government employees that is bankrupting many states and our country. There is no reason that teachers and other government workers should be paid 40% more in total compensation and benefits than is common in the private sector. Why should government workers earn more than the taxpayers supporting them. That is ridiculous. Next, we must end teacher tenure that protects the incompetent and union intervention that often makes it impossible to fire an incompetent teacher. This is not about teacher rights; but rather student's and parent's rights to a quality education. Teachers that can't teach should not be in the classroom doing damage to children.
Children in under performing, or failing schools, should have the option of School Choice to allow them to escape those schools; just the same way the rich and our elected officials, including the Obama's, send their kids to private schools. It is downright criminal that poor and lower middle class children are stuck in these failing schools just to provide an income to public school teachers and union dues to teacher unions. Again, this is about making sure that every child gets a good education, not providing a good pension for an incompetent teacher. Great teachers should receive merit pay, at the discretion of management, based on student performance. The notion that poor, or mediocre teachers, that do not teach, make the same money as great teachers is absurd.
Most important, we must revolutionize the whole idea of education related to job training. Not all kids are destined to go to university. For those that are not book learners, we should create a more practical, hands on education in vocational studies. If a kid is not university bound, then that kid should be taught a marketable job skill using work/apprentice programs during high school. The notion of a high school diploma should be broadened so that it is not just a question of standard classes taken and passed; but rather a grading of practical accomplishments.
It makes no sense to teach a kid Shakespeare, or the symbolism of a rose, when based on aptitude that kid needs to learn to be a computer technician, plumber, or electrician and this is coming from a former public school teacher who taught inner city kids Shakespeare, which upon reflection, was a complete waste of time, when they could not even read at grade level.
We desperately need Educational Reform in the United States because in many instances, our public schools fail to educate children, instead using valuable school time to indoctrinate kids in Socialist ideology, or politically correct thinking. Reform will never happen as long as Socialists, owned by teacher unions, remain in office, which is one more reason we must sweep them all out of office in 2012 and 2014. One of the first things Socialist President Obama did, once elected to office, was end the School Voucher Program in Washington DC, which allowed poor Black kids to escape horrible public schools. Obama did it as a pay back to teacher unions even though poor Black parents were opposed to his decision.
Obviously, Obama did not care about his PEEP's, traditional poor Black voters in this case because teacher unions contribute big dollars to Obama's campaign and these poor Black parents had little to give. Whose bread you eat whose song you sing. And, Obama sings like a canary in support of teacher unions. As a result, for the sake of millions of kids stuck in failing schools, we must make Obama a one term President. Educational Reform will not happen as long as Socialists and their teacher union supporters remain in power, feeding at the trough. So, they all have to go and the sooner the better. Our nation depends on it.

One of the first things Socialist President Obama did, once elected to office, was end the School Voucher Program in Washington DC, which allowed poor Black kids to escape horrible public schools. Obama did it as a pay back to teacher unions even though poor Black parents were opposed to his decision.
Obviously, Obama did not care about his PEEP's, traditional poor Black voters in this case because teacher unions contribute big dollars to Obama's campaign and these poor Black parents had little to give. Whose bread you eat whose song you sing. And, Obama sings like a canary in support of teacher unions. As a result, for the sake of millions of kids stuck in failing schools, we must make Obama a one term President. Educational Reform will not happen as long as Socialists and their teacher union supporters remain in power, feeding at the trough. So, they all have to go and the sooner the better. Our nation depends on it.

Making The Desert Bloom - A Big Idea
Instead of wasting billions of dollars on high speed trains to nowhere in California that we really don't need, this Blogger proposes that we build a pipeline from the Pacific Northwest to California and Nevada to bring water to the Southwest to make the desert bloom. Think about it. It rains about nine months a year in the Pacific Northwest and most of that water just drains to the sea. Instead, we could build a massive pipeline system from the Pacific Northwest to the Sacramento River Delta, which ultimately would get that water into the California Aqueduct system that brings water from Northern California to Southern California.
Once in Southern California, we could build additional pipelines to transport water from California to Arizona and New Mexico. In addition, as part of this project, it would be possible to follow the railroad line over the Sierra Nevada Mountains to get water to the Truckee River, which drains to Lake Pyramid. Once there, water could be transported both to Las Vegas and to Salt Lake City. Just imagine the potential if the barren desert, along the way on all these routes had access to water from the Pacific Northwest to support agriculture, ranching, manufacturing and homes. Yes, this is big idea; but big ideas made our country the most prosperous in human history.
This project, funded by the private sector, not government spending would create millions of jobs and for years to come. It might be, that as happened when the railroads were built, the government could grant Bureau of Land Management land along the pipeline in the desert to the entities investing in the project. That land could later be sold, or developed to pay for the project the same as occurred with the building of the transcontinental railroad. And, or all of this could be paid for with private equity financing, you know the kind that is demonized by Socialist President Obama.
But wait a minute, I forgot about Obama's Gestapo, the Environmental Protection Agency and all the radical Environmentalists in the US that would sue to stop this project from ever happening because they hate logical big ideas. These radicals complained that oil might be leaked from the Keystone Pipeline as a basis for stopping that project. In this case, since it is water that would be transported, the leak argument would be moot. Who cares if water is leaked. Instead, they would claim that animals and natural habitat would be harmed. Maybe so, for a short period of time; but trees grow back and animals reproduce as a natural instinct.
Bringing water from the Pacific Northwest to the Southwest makes perfect sense. To do so, would require government action as we re-purpose the EPA into an Environmental Solutions Agency run by managers in place to foster economic growth and create jobs rather than destroy both. We can make this big idea project happen; but to do so we must first sweep Socialists at all levels of government, including President Obama, out of office in 2012 and 2014, along with their radical Environmental supporters that are all job killers.
We must take back our country to foster economic growth and create jobs once again in America. We can make big ideas happen once we send the job killers packing. Our prosperity depends on it. We can do it. We must do it to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren. We can make the desert bloom; but only after we drain the swamp in Washington DC and many state capitals. It is time for big ideas, not small minds harming our country.
