Obama's Vacations and Your Tax Dollars
SPAIN 2010: TOTAL: AT LEAST $250,000
U.S. taxpayer paid for the First Lady’s 68 person personal security army, assistants, and of course why not use presidential jumbo jet Air Force Two.
Air Force Two was a modest $150,000 for the trip.
Personal security runs at $281 per day – totaling $100,000 for the vacation.
HAWAIIAN CHRISTMAS 2010: TOTAL: Over $1,500,000.00
$63,000 to fly in Michelle and the kids on a private jet.
$1,000,000 for Obama to come in on Air Force One.
$38,000 rent payed for the luxury ‘Winter White House’.
$16,000 to provide housing for local security including Seals & Secret Service.
$134,000 to keep staff in the local luxury hotel. Spare no expense on your staff…
$251,000 paid out to police for staying overtime.
$10,000 so that an ambulance could park outside at all times. Why not?
LUXURY SKI VAIL 2011:
Michelle and the kids stayed in a room which costs more than $2,400 per night.
Michelle & kids fly in on Air Force Two (add a couple hundred thousand).
MARTHA’S VINEYARD 2011:
The Obama’s decided that a modest hotel room that costs $2,400 wasn’t quite nice enough. This time they decided to stay at the “Blue Heron Farm estate” which goes for $50,000 per week.

Obama's Birth Certificate
I have two questions regarding his birth certificate. I'm not saying it's fake, I just don't have answers to these questions. Please enlighten me.
1. The birth certificate that the White House released lists Obama's birth as August 4, 1961. It lists Barack Hussein Obama as his father. It also shows that his father is aged 25 years old, and that Obama's father was born in "Kenya, East Africa." The question I have concerns the fact that Kenya did not even exist until 1964, three years after Obama's birth, and 27 years after his father's birth. How could Obama's father have been born in a country that did not yet exist? Until Kenya was formed in 1964, it was known as the "British East Africa Protectorate."
2. On the birth certificate released by the White House, the listed place of birth is "Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital." The problem is, the hospital(s) in question in 1961 were called "KauiKeolani Children's Hospital" and "Kapi'olani Maternity Home," respectively. The name did not change to "Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital until 1978," when these two hospitals merged. How can this particular name of the hospital be on a birth certificate dated 1961 if this name had not yet been applied to it until 1978?

Obama and the Pope
The Pope and Obama are on the same stage in Yankee Stadium in front of a huge crowd. The Pope leans towards Mr. Obama and said, "Do you know that with one little wave of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy? This joy will not be a momentary display, but will go deep into their hearts and they'll forever speak of this day and rejoice!"
Obama replied, "I seriously doubt that! With one little wave of your hand. Show me!"
So the Pope backhanded him and knocked him off the stage, and the crowd roared and roared, cheering wildly, and there was happiness throughout the land.

Obama's Jobs Plan - $250,000 Per Job
For those eager to put some math to the rhetoric coming from the White House over the president's jobs creation plan, and that should be everyone, here is a quick and dirty estimate based on the numbers being thrown around of a 2 percent GDP increase in year 1 and 1.9 million jobs created or saved...most saved, as in those you can't really quantify. Said otherwise, roughly a $300 billion increase in GDP yields 1.9 million jobs. So far so good.
Now since the president is proposing to pay for the program over 10 years, let's assume the $475 billion in direct expenses is financed for 10 years at 2.5 percent which adds roughly $120 billion to the total cost of the program. In other words, as the calculations detailed and show below elaborate, the overall AJA plan will cost $250,000 per job created (excluding the interest expense) and $312,500 per union job created (including interest). And that's how much it costs for Obama to purchase one vote...created or saved. Keynesian efficiency strikes like a Swiss watch yet again.
So that's $250,000 per job, before interest expense.

Problems with Obama's Birth Certificate
1. If the original document was in a bound volume (as reflected by the curvature of the left hand side of the certificate), how can the green patterned background of the document's safety paper be so seamless?
2. Why, if Obama was born on August 4, 1961, was the “Date Accepted by Local Reg.” four days later on August 8, 1961?
3. What is the significance of the smudges in the box containing the name of the reported attendant?
4. David A. Sinclair, the M.D. who purportedly signed the document, died nearly eight years ago at age 81. So he is conveniently unavailable to answer questions about Obama’s reported birth.
5. In the “This Birth” box there are two mysterious Xs above “Twin” and “Triplet.”
7. Supposedly a birth certificate of someone born at the same hospital a day later has a lower number.
8. There is no official seal.
9. It still says “Certificate of Live Birth.”
10. Instead of “African” under father's race, “Colored” or “Negro” would probably have been used in 1961.
11. Under hour of birth, the “M.” in “P.M.” is a different font.

Obama, the Next Jimmy Carter
Obama is proving to be as great a leader as Jimmy Carter. Afghanistan is turning into a steamy pile of horse crap. Obama may or may not have been in cahoots with Blago, which could prove an impeachable offense, though in my humble opinion, that won't happen. But either way, Blago has confirmed what I suspected for so long, Obama doesn't wear the pants in the family (or in any relationship really). As you might expect, all of these problems have led to a waning confidence in our Commander in Chief.
In other news, it appears that Al Gore is a horny school boy. So much so in fact, that it has caused him legal problems in the past.
Sir Paul McCartney says you and I are as bad as genocidal Nazis, because we don't believe in global warming. Fine, you've guilted me into it, global warming is real...
And if that doesn't make you want to toss your cookies, a school district in Massachusetts is making condoms available to all students, even those in elementary school. Those crazy kindergartners and their sex parties, right? Wrong.
Tea-Bagger
Though he aspires to promote civility, evidence has surfaced that President Obama has added "tea-bagger" to his public lexicon, though it's considered a cheap and tawdry insult by "tea party" activists. Watchdogs at Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) barked when they saw the proof, tucked in a sneak peak of Newsweek columnist Jonathan Alter's new book, "The Promise: President Obama, Year One," to be released May 18. Indeed, it appears the president joined certain partisan critics and the liberal media, and took the tea-bag plunge.
Mr. Alter wrote, "Obama said that the unanimous House vote against the Recovery Act 'set the tenor for the whole year': 'That helped to create the tea-baggers and empowered that whole wing of the Republican Party to where it now controls the agenda for the Republicans.'"

Obama Should Return Wall Street Contributions
The Washington Examiner:
President Obama took his case for vastly increasing federal power over financial institutions to Wall Street yesterday, but he forgot something while packing for the trip. He should have taken with him all those bags of dirty money he received on the campaign trail in 2008 from Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street firms whose greedy ways he claims led the nation’s economy into the Great Recession. Since Obama received nearly a million dollars in contributions from Goldman Sachs executives in 2007 and 2008, maybe all those bags of filthy Wall Street lucre wouldn’t fit on Air Force One. More likely, the dirty money stayed in the White House because Obama and his fellow Democrats want to keep having it both ways on Wall Street.

Obama's Financial Plan - A Mess
If President Obama's financial regulations are adopted, there will be fewer loans, credit will be more costly, and individuals will face more risk. Obama argues today that his reforms are necessary to prevent "a second Great Depression" from occurring, but he does nothing to fix what the government did. Nothing is done to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, despite their problems with fraud and costing taxpayers $400 billion in bailouts. Nothing is done to change government regulations that force banks to make risky mortgages.
The powers that would be given to the president and the Federal Reserve are unprecedented. The bill gives the government the power to regulate the capital, liquidity and permissible activities for a long list of firms, including securities firms, insurance companies, bank holding companies, hedge funds, finance companies as well as others. The government will be also able to limit the size of these companies.
The president claims today that he "believe(s) in the power of the free market." Yet, he is constantly demonizing companies. Even liberal New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg warned: The bashing of Wall Street is something that should worry everybody. According to Obama, there is "an ethic of greed, corner cutting, insider dealing, things that have always threatened the long-term stability of our economic system." In contrast, for government, Obama identifies its only failure as not doing enough regulation, not doing enough to control companies.

Obama Snubs Japana's Prime Minister
This makes no sense to me.
When Japan’s prime minister visited Washington this month, Japanese officials lobbied intensely to get him a one-on-one with Barack Obama. In the end, Yukio Hatoyama had to settle for just 10 minutes, and even that during a banquet when the US president was presumably more interested in the appetisers and wine. These things matter in Japan. One senior politician called the put-down – as it was inevitably viewed in Tokyo – “humiliating”. He even noted that the Japanese prime minister was shunted to the edge of a group photo, the diplomatic equivalent of banishment to Siberia.
It would be wrong to read too much into these titbits of protocol (though it is always fun trying). But behind the snub lies something real. The US-Japan alliance, the cornerstone of security in east Asia since 1945, has not looked so rocky in years.

Arizona House - Show us Your Birth Certificate
Those that question Obama's birth certificate, and qualification to be president are often labeled as extremists, birthers, nut jobs or conspiracy theorists. But, it looks like the idea has become more mainstream, as the Arizona State House voted to require that Obama show his birth certificate if he wants to run for reelection in their state. Seems like common sense to me. Candidates should be required to prove their eligibility if they want to be on state ballots.
The Arizona House on Monday voted for a provision that would require President Barack Obama to show his birth certificate if he hopes to be on the state's ballot when he runs for reelection.
The House voted 31-22 to add the provision to a separate bill. The measure still faces a formal vote.
It would require U.S. presidential candidates who want to appear on the ballot in Arizona to submit documents proving they meet the constitutional requirements to be president.

Obama Amused by Tea Party Protests
"I've been a little amused over the last couple of days where people have been having these rallies about taxes," the president said, noting the numerous tax cuts pushed by his administration. "You would think they'd be saying thank you."Thank you? First, the tax cuts are a joke. Your spending monstrosities mean higher taxes, now or later, the people will pay. Second, if you'd drop the smug SOB act for a moment, you'd see that the Tea Party movement is about more than just taxes. The movement is also about big government and big spending, particularly TARP, the stimulus package and Obamacare.
No sir, we won't thank you until there is real tax reform, real spending reform and real government reform.

Obama Throws First Pitch - Gets Jeered
Listen to how loudly he is booed, and look at his expression, it's like he likes it. He reminds me of a "pro" wrestler. As far as I can tell, one guy laughs when he puts on his White Sox hat, and after his fairy princess pitch, he gets a little golf clap.
