1.75 TRILLION OBAMA DEFICIT BUCKS - THE BUDGET

Barack Obama has introduced his first budget as President for the 2010 fiscal year. While telling the American people that he plans to cut the deficit in half by the end of his term, Obama's budget projections call for 1.75 trillion in 2009, more than the last FIVE Bush deficits combined, and trillion dollar deficits through budget year 2012 which is the last year of his term. So much for telling the truth.

Spending is planned to increase by 24% which includes the socialist spending bill passed two weeks ago. The National Debt , which once again is something that Obama has pledged to cut actually almost doubles in Obama land from 8.4 billion to 15.4 billion by 2019.

The lie being perpetrated that no one earning less than 250 thousand dollars will experience a tax increase is revealed in stark form as Obama's budget includes tax increases that effects every American from small business, to everyone who drives a car or uses electricity.

Obama's Universal Health Care plans get a hefty dose of Obama bucks calling for 634 billion dollars as, in Obama's own description, a "down payment," for his socializing health care in America. Also included are a 7% annual increase for Medicare and 6% for Medicaid.

After all of the Obama hoopla concerning transparency with the 700 billion dollar TARP funds passed last year, his budget includes an additional 750 billion dollars in TARP spending with absolutely no description as to how, why, where or who will receive the additional funds.

After all of Obama's rhetoric lately about boosting pay for military personnel and the cry during his address to the joint session of Congress about a large pay increase being necessary and deserved for the brave men and women who defend this Nation, Obama's budget only allows for a scant 2.9% pay raise which is the MINIMUM that the law requires.

Massive spending, record deficits, huge taxation increases, and budgetary socialization of America. So much for Obama's transparency and fiscal responsibility. How dare he continue to lecture Wall Street and the American people about responsible financial action. Barack Hussein Obama, the ,"don't do as I do, do as I say," President.

THE LIBERAL LIE CARTOON GALLERY AND YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up

Obama promised change throughout the campaign. In just over one month he has shown just what direction that change is taking us. Karl Marx would be proud, while George Washington is weeping.





YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up - VASSALBORO, Maine — Cup size has more than one meaning at a new central Maine coffeehouse. Servers are topless at the Grand View Topless Coffee Shop, which opened its doors Monday on a busy road in Vassalboro. A sign outside says, “Over 18 only.” Another says, “No cameras, no touching, cash only.”


On Tuesday, two men sipped coffee at a booth while three topless waitresses and a bare-chested waiter stood nearby. Topless waitress Susie Wiley said men, women and couples have stopped by. The coffee shop raised the ire of dozens of residents when it went before the town planning board last month. Town officials said the coffee shop met the letter of the law.

Look out Starbucks, the competition is starting to get a breast of the situation ! - YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up






In his first month in office Obama's agenda has increased spending at a rate of 36 billion dollars a day and that was BEFORE passing the 410 billion dollar Omnibus pork bill. He claims no earmarks and no pork. Pinocchio's nose grew when he lied. Have you noticed that Obama's ears are getting bigger every day ?





YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up - WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — There are so many mice in one Florida county courthouse that they've been seen falling from ceiling tiles. One judge at the Palm Beach County Courthouse calls it an infestation. Some staffers say they check their handbags for stowaways before leaving the building each day.


Court employees and lawyers say the rodents scuttle down corridors, munch legal papers and scratch behind the walls. Last week, one mouse ran around a courtroom floor for an hour during a burglary trial. The courthouse facilities manager says he's put out a few dozen traps to capture the rodents. He says he's not sure there has been an uptick in mice lately but says they're getting more press than they deserve.

Lawyer to Judge, "excuse me your honor but I don't have my brief with me because the mice ate it. " Sounds like a job for Terminix. - YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up





Ever seen a Jack Ass lay and egg ? Well that is the pile of crap laid by Democrats with the Socialist Spending Bill !





YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up - SOFIA, Bulgaria — A Bulgarian grandmaster appears to have broken the world record for the highest number of chess games played simultaneously, organizers said Monday. Kiril Georgiev played a total of 360 games simultaneously, winning 284, drawing 70 and losing six, during a marathon that lasted 14 hours and 8 minutes in Sofia's Inter Expo Center, the organizers said.


The record number of games and the winning percentage of 88 percent will allow Georgiev to apply formally for entry into the Guinness Book of World Records. His percentage total is reached by having each win count as a point and each draw as a half point. That means Georgiev scored 319 points out of a possible 360.

The Guinness Book says the current record for most simultaneous games played was set in 2005 by Susan Polgar, the Hungarian-American four-time women's world champion. Polgar played 326 games, winning 309, drawing 14 and losing only three.

I'll bet this guy is tired of saying ," check." I'm exhausted just trying to imagine it ! - YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up





Obama is burying Capitalism on his way to the destruction of America as we have known it and the Founders created it .


Ken Taylor



OBAMA SETS OUT HIS PLAN - "WE," MEANS GOVERNMENT

Government, government and more government. In an address before a joint session of Congress, Obama spelled out his plan for his first year in office. While not a true State of the Union Address since Obama has only been in office a little over one month, as with all new Presidents he used the opportunity to present the laundry list for a new administration.

Throughout the address Obama used the word, "we," which is defined simply as government. His entire plan for America depends completely on total government involvement to solve problems, meet needs and boost the sagging economy. Increased spending above and beyond the recently passed 787 billion dollar spending package permeated throughout his address.

In fact he stated that the massive package was just the beginning of the spending he planned for this country. Another theme that drifted throughout the speech was ,"universal." Universal Health Care, Universal Education and Universal Welfare in the form of bailouts for nearly every sector of the economy.

According to Obama the only way to solve any problem is to spend our way out of it through borrowed money at tax payer expense. Nowhere was found any incentive for business and investment through the private sector or incentive for Americans to better themselves thought individual action. The only action Obama spoke of was either government action or government working with Americans. In other words, " the government will do it for you."

Obama mentioned the deficit he inherited, which was approximately 500 billion dollars. Since taking office he has increased that to over 1.5 trillion and climbing. In fact Obama has increased spending by 36 billion dollars a day since January 20. Then claims in the speech that he will cut the deficit in half by the end of his term. While not once mentioning cutting any programs he is creating.

Oh he talked about ,"wasteful," spending in the budget and how they were attempting to identify it, but no specifics about cuts just more spending. This can only mean that to decrease the deficit without significant cuts means raising taxes. He mentioned without specifically calling them the ,"Bush tax cuts," the rolling back of these taxes and claiming that it will only effect the upper 2% of income earners.

Bush cut tax rates across the board at all income levels. To eliminate these cuts would in actuality increase taxes for every wage earner in America as payroll tax rates would increase to the level they were before the Bush rate cut. Also Obama in speaking of increasing taxes said that he would only raise taxes on those making over 250 thousand dollars.

Again this is a false statement if he fully intends to cut the deficit without cutting spending, and in fact increasing spending. The figures do not and cannot match. If he only raises taxes to the upper 2% the increase will never match the purported decrease to cut any deficit. So if he truly plans on using tax increases to cut his ballooning deficit then it will not be long and it does not take a master mathematician to realize that the tax increases will continue down the line until they affect everyone.

Socialism at it worst was the true theme of Obama's address. Increased government involvement in all aspects of American life, government spending at unprecedented levels and all at tax payer expense to provide the funding to pay for Obama's agenda.

The comparisons to FDR abound throughout the media. Comparing Obama's message to the New Deal and FDR's spending to supposedly end the great Depression. Spending which now from a historical view has proven to have only prolonged the recovery. Had it not been for WWII the Depression would have continued even longer.

In like manner Obama is not presenting a plan for recovery but a massive spending and expansion of government that dwarfs FDR. When fully implemented it to will have similar results to the failures of the New Deal. Increased government with no real affect except creating dependency which never ends.

OBAMA'S NATIONALIZING BEGINS

On a day when the Dow dropped to numbers not seen since 1997, another signal from the Obama Administration continued to create a total lack of confidence in the economic policy of Barack Obama. Last week Obama down played the nationalizing of the Nations banks yet news came of the largest banking group, Citigroup, bowing to a 40% take over by the government.

Citigroup chairman Richard Parson's was seen at The White House in the midst of leaks stating that his presence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was to discuss the government take over of Citigroup to, "save," the struggling banking giant.

My fellow Americans is this move combined with the massive socialist spending bill and the housing bailout that rewards irresponsibility the beginning of the end of the capitalist free market that has made The United States economy the strongest and largest economy in the history of man ?

In his brief 33 days in office Obama has already grown the federal government more than FDR did through the New Deal. Obama is speaking out of both sides of his mouth calling for government fiscal responsibility while creating the most irresponsible massive spending in history. Talking of shrinking the deficit, while enlarging it more than any previous administration.

Telling reporters that it is important for the Nations banks to remain privately held entities while discussing the take over of Citigroup and key members of his administration in the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve are talking about the necessity of government take over to save the Nations banks.

He has sent his Secretary of State , Hillary Clinton to China to beg the Chinese to continue buying US Bonds in order to finance the socialist spending already passed. But Hillary's plea was not for just the present. She begged the Chinese on behalf of Obama to, "continue," buying bonds which signals that the 789 billion dollar pork bill will be followed by more.

Obama now claims that while the economy will continue struggle through 2009, 2010 will begin the recovery. Yet nothing that the administration is doing will allow the growth of business or personal income which includes plans to eliminate the Bush tax cuts which will in actuality be a tax increase for every working American. This will combine with further tax increases to pay for Obama's spending.

The economic moves do not and will not promote recovery because they stifle business, hiring, individual prosperity because of lack of incentive to earn more as taxes will take the increased earnings away. Investment is dying as evidenced by the Dow loses and nothing Obama is doing or plans to do inspires investors to invest.

How then can our economy grow or recover ? That answer is that it cannot which in the final analysis is the goal of the Obama agenda . The less recovery the more entities like Citigroup that will bow to government take over through nationalization. Obama's America is not the America of our Founders nor the America described in the Constitution.

Our Constitution has been used by many countries as the example in which many have been formed, including countries whose leaders have become despot and dictators. Using the Constitution patterned after ours as only a document to dupe the masses into thinking that they like America might be free. Obama is quickly turning our own Constitution into a document that no longer represents the country he is creating. Our freedoms are dying and only a few are yelling stop !

BARACK OBAMA IGNORES WALL STREET DECLINE TO JUSTIFY TAKE OVER - THE SUNDAY COMMENTARY

The crisis began well before the collapse last Fall. The huge housing and mortgage bubble created by the escalation of bad loans and irresponsible lending practices was destined to collapse and it did just in time for the Presidential election of 2008, helping to put Barack Obama in the White House, the Democrats in almost unstoppable control in Congress and sending a ripple effect throughout the economy that brought on a recession.

The Bush administration tampered with the situation by ,"bailing out," banks and other financial related institutions and the auto makers with a 700 billion dollar package that only added money to a bad situation having little effect on the decline. A panicked reaction to a panicked situation. The old adage about level heads prevailing has yet to kick in concerning the financial decline over recent months and now the Obama administration takes panicked reaction to a new level.

789 billion dollars in pork spending socialist ,"stimulus," that promises little true stimulus to a struggling economy and 275 billion more to prop up home loans that should have never been made in the first place. Loans whose lenders knew better and whose recipients either failed to read what they signed or were in many cases irresponsible enough to jump into a situation way over their means.

200 billion of the ,"housing bailout," is going to Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac, the two government sponsored entities that began this entire debacle in the first place. So Obama is actually using borrowed tax payer money to in essence start the problem all over again.

With every announcement by Obama of more money being borrowed and funneled through the socialist Democrat agenda, Wall Street has reacted with declines that have actually dwarfed the initial crash that took place immediately following the collapse of the housing /mortgage bubble last fall.

In fact since the election of Obama the market has lost more than 18% of its value with most of that happening in the last two months as investors are selling off with almost record declines because nothing that the new administration is doing bolsters the slightest amount of confidence in any of the financial markets. And the prospects for confidence in the markets is at best slim as Obama continues to press an agenda that has no hope of confidence.

Adding to this is the fear of the nationalizing of the Nations banks. Over the past few days Obama has tried to down play this idea but many Senators including RINOS like Lindsay Graham have continued to talk of nationalizing all or part of the nations banks at least on the short term. An idea that I truly believe is dangerous and that Obama in actuality backs.

He is a masterful politician and has yet to stop campaigning as is evidenced by his activity and his campaign type rhetoric daily. The polls show that Americans detest the idea of nationalizing banks so Obama down plays it so that when Congress moves on it and he signs off on it he thinks he comes off looking like he was a reluctant participant.

During the initial stages of the collapse last Fall, the media was constantly following every moment of the Wall Street reaction like a play by play during a sporting event. Every news channel was running a ticker on the screen showing real time market numbers. Bush administration officials were questioned at every turn about market activity and expressed real concern about the decline.

As the declined continued in greater numbers since Obama took office, the media has followed the situation with much less scrutiny and the administration has had almost no reaction to the markets volatility. In fact Obama has not expressed concern at any time of the market declines and the reaction of investors to his agenda.

I believe there are two reason why Obama has had no concern about the huge declines in the market. First much of the decline is due largely, as I mentioned earlier, to the lack of confidence in the socialist style economic agenda that Obama is pursuing. Second, Obama is not concerned about the declines because the more the market falls and the banking industry declines the better he can justify government take over of business and banking which is his ultimate goal.

Obama does not believe in the free market. He believes that only government and government control of the market and the banks can solve the struggling economy. So he pushes an agenda that bolsters no investor confidence, the market and the banks continue to decline and he steps in as the socialist government messiah to save the day.

Bingo, we have nationalized banks, complete regulatory and managing control of struggling companies by an all encompassing Obama administration and government and with the stroke of his pen Obama has instituted total economic socialism in The United States. He justifies it by telling the American people that only he and the government can solve the problem. It will only be temporary but necessary to restore confidence in the economy. But in truth like any government entity it will not end, it will only get worse.

If those who bought his bill of goods during the campaign had actually listened or taken the slightest interest in investigating anything about his past and those whose teachings he followed then this socialistic approach to governing would have been well known BEFORE he was ever elected and we likely would not be facing this take over at the hands of Barack Obama.

But 52 million Americans did not listen and only fell for the messianic hype. The media who was equally worshipping and to a certain extent still are, refused to investigate anything about Obama and now we face the largest take over by government in our history and what has happened in the last month is only the beginning of the Obama agenda and the Obama take over.

OBAMA'S PLAN AND THE REAL REACTION FROM AMERICANS

The above video surprisingly on CNBC reveals an honest and truly irritated reaction to Obama's housing solution rewarding people who signed mortgages that were clearly more than they could afford.

The Obama flair is wearing off and slowly but surely Americans are realizing who and what is now in The White House. Are Americans beginning to rebel against Obama Marxist/Socialism ? It looks like it may be happening as the above video calls for a new Tea Party !

We the people can and must fight for our liberties even if it means fighting the President of The United States. He works for us and it is our Constitutional responsibility as citizens to fight him when he is wrong and to demand an end to the path to Obama socialism.

THE LIBERAL LIE CARTOON GALLERY AND YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up

According to Obama the socialist stimulus has no pork. Just like a hog farm has no hogs !



YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up - LONDON — Stop smooching. That's the message of a new sign that went up outside a train station in northern England on Monday. The goal is to stop departing passengers from pulling up in their cars at a crowded drop-off point and pausing to kiss each other farewell.


Virgin Rail says it installed the sign while refurbishing the station after a local business networking group said the place had to become more efficient. But profit margins may have been a factor, too. Virgin Rail says that if passengers want to share an embrace before they part company, they should pay to park their cars nearby where they can kiss all they want.

Parking garage prices - overnight 1 British pound, weekly 10 British pounds, kissing 50 British pounds. Is this the Brits idea of spreading the wealth ? - YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up




The media said it was the best cabinet in history. Well they may be right. No one stays around long enough to start any trouble. You would think that Obama would ask at least one or two questions before he nominates someone.



YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up - AMSTERDAM — Officials in the Dutch city of Leeuwarden say the municipal pornography archive is missing and they fear it may be lost for good or stolen.

Spokesman Erik Krikke of the city’s historical center says the archive — which contained photos, drawings and erotic texts with a connection to the city — may have been taken home by an employee or visitor.

“We’re hoping that someone will say ‘Hey, I have that in my attic’ and bring it back,” he said Thursday. “No questions asked.” Krikke said the collection was small enough to have fit in a moving box.

And this is one of the countries that Obama calls an example to the US ? Give the collection a couple of weeks and the Dutch can view it on the web. -YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up





Washington, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Jefferson and Ronald Reagan are rolling over in their graves as Obama pushes through his socialist agenda !



YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up - BRADENTON, Fla. — Police in southwest Florida arrested a man they say let his 8-year-old son drive a van. Police in Bradenton arrested 34-year-old Mark A. Belanger just before midnight Sunday on charges of child abuse and permitting an unlicensed driver to drive.


A police report says the boy hit two trees and nearly hit two people in a parking lot. Belanger told police he’d taken Xanax, used to treat anxiety and panic attacks, and was “feeling woozy and didn’t want to drive.” He said he thought letting his son drive would be a “bonding moment.” The boy told police his father took “liquid medicine” to feel better, pointing to an empty whiskey bottle in the vehicle.

Now the only bonding moment this guy is having is if someone posts bail ! - YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up

OBAMA SIGNS STIMULUS TO THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE ENDING AMERICA AS WE KNOW IT

"So this is how democracy dies, with thunderous applause." Senator Amidala, from Star Wars II Attack of the Clones.

America as we have known it and loved it came to an end in Denver, Colorado as Barack Obama signed the single largest transfer of power to the federal government that he calls, "The Economic Recovery Package." Obama socialism in The United States has begun and it began with, "thunderous applause."

The 787 billion dollar socialist spending bill, rushed through Congress without a single Senator, Representative or citizen having the first opportunity to read or review this massive transfer of power to the government shakes the very foundation of our Nation as the end of Constitutional individual freedom and responsibility is being replaced by government control and socialist programs designed to create dependency rather than freedom.

The rush to pass without review was intentional in order to get a Presidential signature before Americans had an opportunity to protest this government take over at the hands of Obama and the Democrats. In their tingling leg worship of Barack Obama the media refused to vet this take over and the American people were denied an opportunity to find out what this President and the Democrat Congress are forcing down our throats.

More than 32 new government programs are included in this debacle. Programs designed to eliminate self reliance and force government dependency. All without the first opportunity to find out what is being forced upon us nor the details of this deconstruction of our Constitution and our Republic.

And because of blind worship of an inept President the bill was signed to, "thunderous applause." Using 10 pens which cost the American people 78.7 billion dollars per pen Obama with a air of arrogance signed a portion of his name with each pen and then proclaimed with the satisfaction that his American socialism had begun, "it's done."

Yes my fellow Americans, "it's done." The beginning of the end of our freedom. "It's done, " the beginning of the end of Constitutional principles that have sustained our Nation since 1788. "It's done," the beginning of a European style socialism created by Obama for Obama and because of Obama. "It's done, " and it was done with ,"thunderous applause."

OBAMA TO SIGN SOCIALIST STIMULUS IN DENVER

The bill was passed Friday. We have been told as a means of instilling fear to get the bill passed that the dire state of the economy is so severe that this pork filled bill had to be rushed through in order to get the economy moving. So why then is there a four day delay in signing ?

Is it because Obama, as he promised would post the entire billion on the White House website so that the American people could review it before he signs ? After all this was one of his many promises of transparency. Well once again yet another promise broken because this massive socialist bill is NOT posted on the White House site. In fact the bill has yet to be available for total public review anywhere including for those who voted on the bill in BOTH chambers of Congress.

So transparency is not the delay. But putting on a big show for the Obama official socialist bill ending free market capitalism is the true reason for the delay. Notice that in the interim, the economy which was fear mongered by Obama as on the verge of collapse if ANY delay took place, is still running and still functioning.

The show for the signing is the same location used for the great Obama descending from the heavens before the Greek columns to accept the nomination from the Democrats. Denver, Colorado is the location of the signing of the beginning of Obama socialism.

So while whining of the pending doom of our economy, Obama is climbing aboard Air Force One, which will be followed by the back up plane. Preceded by the C 130 cargo planes carrying two Marine One helicopters and the Presidential fleet of limos and SUV's for the Secret Service. All at tax payer expense spending millions of dollars for the Obama show to sign a bill that could be signed easily in Washington DC .

But then again spending our money means nothing to Democrats especially Obama. He just returned from a date weekend with Michelle in Chicago at tax payer expense. So traveling to Denver just to sign a spending bill is no big deal for Obama. As many pages as the bill contains it will likely need it OWN transport plane!

Obama promised hope and change and that is exactly what he is bringing. Slowly but surely Americans are hoping that he will not destroy our country with his appeasement and socialist agenda. And Obama is changing the Presidency from a revered and powerful American institution into The Barack Obama Circus and Revival for the worship of the arrogant liberals messiah.

THE BARACK OBAMA LIE THAT JUST KEEPS ON GIVING - THE SUNDAY COMMENTARY

This Tuesday marks four weeks since Barack Obama took the oath of office for the Presidency. I have talked to several people who like me feel like it has been much longer but alas it has only been four weeks into a four year term. During this relatively short tenure Obama has taken many drastic measures.

From the orders to close Gitmo and drop the charges of the admitted planner of the USS Cole bombing and having to replace flawed and failed nominees to using his clout as President to pass that massive socialist stimulus bill that is now waiting his signature. He has also been caught breaking many promises and in several lies.

Breaking a campaign promise is not unusual for a President since many of those promises are made from the urgency to get votes and also from a stand point of not seeing either intelligence or other information that is not available to a candidate running for President but once taking office this privileged information changes many circumstances promised during a campaign.

Obama though made promises that had little to do with this information and broke the promise for political expediency. The appointment of two lobbyists to powerful posts after promising it would never happen and then stating that it did not matter with the two because they were needed in those posts is a weak defense at best. Also his move on the first day concerning transparency and ethics that has not applied to anything he has done are both obvious lies to the American people in which Obama has received a pass for the most part.

There have been several extremely questionable moves that also have Constitutional ramifications not the least of which is the politicizing of the 2010 Census by moving it from the oversight of the Commerce Department to the White House in order to have tighter control over the taking of the Census and also possible using estimates rather than exact counting which is a direct violation of the Constitution.

But there is one lie that is very much related to the Constitution that Obama has made that as the title of this post states is the ,"lie that keeps on giving." Every President in our history has taken the same Oath of Office as he entered the Presidency. It is written verbatim in the Constitution and since James Madison included it as part of Article II which outlines the Executive Branch all of our leaders have under oath promised to, "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution."

That oath is sacred and does not leave room for interpretation. Preserving, protecting and defending the Constitution as it is written adhering to its timeless and steadfast principles. Many President's have through certain actions while in office broken that oath at one time or another. But Obama through his agenda and the way in which he is already implementing it never truly planned to keep that oath from day one.

Oh he believes that the actions he is taking and the agenda he is using is Constitutional and as such in keeping with his oath. But in actuality is it and does Obama really believe in the Constitution ? If not then was his Oath of Office actually a lie that will be repeated throughout his Presidency ?

To answer this I am going to step back a few years and quote from an interview that Obama gave to the local Chicago NPR which broached the question of redistribution of wealth, a topic that was introduced during the campaign and the now infamous, "Joe the Plumber," incident but never truly vetted by the media as they chose rather to augment their love affair with Obama rather than question who he was and what he believed.

In this interview two very distinct Constitutional beliefs are revealed about Obama and are already showing up in his Presidency. When asked what he thought the failure of the Civil Rights movement of the sixties was he stated that the Supreme Court in it rulings failed to address redistribution of wealth because the court, "didn't break free from the ESSENTIAL CONSTRAINTS that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution."

He went on to state that the Constitution is flawed because, "the Constitution is a document of negative liberties [that] says what the states can't do to you, says what the federal government can't do to you but it doesn't say what the federal government or state government MUST DO ON YOUR BEHALF."

These two statements by Obama outlined in 2005 are unfortunately the basis of his governing principles and his idea of what as President he believes is his responsibility. A responsibility that he sees as changing the fundamentals of a flawed Constitution rather than truly preserving, protecting and defending the Constitution as it is written.

This is precisely why Obama poses such a danger to our Nation as President. While campaigning his belief that the Constitution was flawed meant nothing but now after taking the Oath of Office, that belief in a flawed Constitution becomes policy and actions that threaten the very fabric of our society and the sound Constitutional principles that have made our Nation great and envied by the rest of the world because those principles provide freedom and liberties that are found ONLY in The United States.

Obama does not believe that the Courts should act in accordance to the Constitution but should rule according to the whims of the time and the ,"needs," of the moment rather than those principles instilled by our Founders. He believes that governments responsibility is to provide for the people rather than serve at the will of the people, thus his idea that the Constitution is a series of, "negative liberties, " which do not state what the government, "must do."

Our Founders believed that government was not the solution or the fix and that the people should have the right and ability to achieve without government intervention. When this Nation was founded we fought a Revolution to escape the tyranny of European Socialism as governed by the British Monarchy and Parliament and as such when the Founders framed the laws of this land in the Constitution they declared the limited powers of the government as allowed by the people which prevent the tyrannical involvement of the government in the rights of each citizen breaking free from the Socialistic practices that had been forced on the Colonies by the British.

Either Obama is ignorant as to what the Constitution actually means or he does not believe in it. It is obvious that Obama is an intelligent man. That is why I truly believe that he just does not believe in the Constitution which constitutes a lie in his oath. If he does not believe in the Constitution as written then how can he truly protect it as President.

The Framers intentionally left out Constitutional provisions for government involvement in the lives of the people, or as Obama put it what the," government must do on your behalf." Yet Obama's very actions since taking office and especially in the pork filled socialist stimulus bill are intended to move government directly into the lives of Americans and as such force what he believes is the correction of the flaw in the Constitution providing what ,"government must do," on our behalf.

This does not preserve or protect the Constitution but rather stamps on the very principle of individual responsibility and the freedom or personal achievement without government constraints or intervention which is a corner stone of our Nation and the basis of freedom in our country.

When the Constitution speaks of ,"promoting the common welfare, " it means that an atmosphere of freedom defined within the Constitution is available so that the well being of all Americans is protected by law enabling everyone to have the same opportunity of success and achievement.

Obama believes that promoting the common welfare means the government must provide the means for Americans to survive thus gaining governmental control over our lives and our prosperity providing everyone with like income and like means of living. In other words communistic Socialism. Or as Karl Marx put it, "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need."

This philosophy which Obama embraces is not Constitutional nor does it fulfill his oath to preserve that same Constitution. But rather if he continues on the path he has already started, he will not only change the fabric of our society but the Constitutional principles that have sustained this Nation for more than 200 years will become just high sounding words in a document held in a museum.

OBAMA LOSES YET ANOTHER NOMINEE

Bill Richardson, Tom Daschel, Nancy Killefer and now Judd Gregg. Barack Obama can't seem to hold on to his appointees. They either quit because they won't pay taxes or are being investigated for ethics. Or as is the case with Gregg, the appointee just can't abide by the Obama agenda.

In trying to save some egg on the face, an Obama spokesman stated that Gregg had approached Obama about the post which is not that case because when it was announced that Gregg, a Republican was being considered for Commerce, the media and the Obama people were singing the praises of the messiah and how by, "picking," Gregg for Commerce, Obama was showing how diversified and bipartisan his administration would be.

But now that Gregg has seen the light and realized that he cannot be in the cabinet and support Obama's agenda and that Obama was stealing the census from Commerce, to try and cover Obama's liberal tail, they spin that Gregg asked Obama for the post rather than the other way around. Yep, real transparency here !

This once again emphasises the total incompetency and inexperience of Obama as President. He is not only neglecting to vet his appointees as with Daschel and Killefer over an obvious problem like tax evasion, but he did not even talk with Gregg enough to know that there were fundamental differences between Gregg and Obama on policy and especially the way that the census should be handled.

A matter that Obama, in moving the census to the White House is violating the Constitutional principle that the census is above politics. Thankfully the GOP is making moves to take Obama to court over this, which should result in making the census legal once again by taking it away from Obama and returning it to the people.

Obama stated after Daschel quit, that he carried the responsibility and , "screwed up." with the appointment. If Obama holds true to this statement then he needs to get on television every day and talk about his, "screw ups," which continue mounting everyday !

I have never heard pundit discussion after only just under a month in office making reference to an already failed Presidency. Even Carter was not considered as failed until at least one year or more into his truly failed Presidency. Obama by most accounts has already made the record as the quickest failure in history !

Today, February 12, 2009 marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln the sixteenth President of The United States. This is the final photograph taken of President Lincoln and one of the few in which he smiled. A true American icon and hero who led this nation through its darkest hours. A great man and a true leader for our nation.

YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up - BARNSTABLE, Mass. — A Massachusetts man who walked into a police station and asked for help removing a pair of handcuffs dangling from one wrist ended up wearing another pair instead. Barnstable, Mass., police Sgt. Sean Sweeney said 21-year-old Allahmanamjad Barbel showed up Tuesday claiming he couldn't get off the cuffs his sister slipped on him at a child's birthday party.

Police ran Barbel's name through the state warrant system and discovered he had outstanding warrants on charges of driving with a suspended license, leaving the scene of an accident, threatening to commit a crime and making annoying phone calls. Sweeney said police removed the cuffs — then slipped on a new pair to arrest him.

Billions of tax payer dollars borrowed for Obama's pork spending bill supposedly to lend to the people to stimulate jobs so people can make money and be taxed again to pay for the nearly one trillion dollar spending package paid for by borrowed money. And they think this is going to work ?



YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up - ROSSFORD, Ohio — Workers at an Ohio pet shop are used to worried pet owners bringing their animals in to be treated in the store’s clinic. But an unaccompanied visit Saturday by a deer to the PetSmart in Rossfield was a first for the store. Manager Trudi Urie says the wounded doe was hanging out behind the store and then ran through an open door into a stockroom.

Staff members made sure the animal couldn’t enter the shop area and called police and a veterinarian. Agustin Cuesta had the deer brought into the clinic and closed a wound on its hind leg with dissolvable stitches as assistants held it down.

This is one deer who really proved the name of the store......Pet Smart! - YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up

Joachim, a Sri Lanka native who lives in Toronto, watched three seasons of the drama series 24 featuring Kiefer Sutherland, said Swedish TV4 spokeswoman Janina Witkowski.

OBAMA LIES AGAIN - NO PORK IN STIMULUS A LOAD OF OBAMABULL

Throughout the process of whining to get his massive socialist spending bill he calls a stimulus package passed, Barack Obama has continually claimed that the bill contained absolutely no pork. He repeated this lie once again on Monday night during his press conference.

Not only is the bill over run with pork, but Obama obviously is trying to clarify his understanding of what pork is when his spokesman announced that Obama sees pork ONLY as earmarks added AFTER a bill is passed and not when the bill is originally written. This is a load of Obamabull.

Below is a list of pork projects in the bill. Not one will create a new job or stimulate the economy in any way. Each are just liberal pet projects that have long been on the Democrat wish list.


$2 billion earmark for FutureGen near zero emissions power plant in Mattoon, IL
$39 billion slush fund for “state fiscal stabilization” bailout
$5.5 billion for making federal buildings “green” (including $448 million for DHS HQ)
$200 million for workplace safety in USDA facilities
$275 million for flood prevention
$65 million for watershed rehabilitation
$200 million for public computer centers at community colleges and libraries
$650 million for the DTV transition coupon program
$307 million for constructing NIST office buildings
$1 billion for administrative costs and construction of NOAA office buildings
$100 million for constructing U.S. Marshalls office buildings
$300 million for constructing FBI office buildings
$800 million for constructing Federal Prison System buildings and facilities
$10 million to fight Mexican gunrunners
$1.3 billion for NASA (including $450 million for “science” at NASA)
$100 million to clean up sites used in early U.S. atomic energy program
$10 million for urban canals
$2 billion for manufacturing advanced batteries for hybrid cars
$1.5 billion for carbon capture projects under sec. 703 of P.L. 110-140 (though section only authorizes $1 billion for five years)
$300 million for hybrid and electric cars for federal employees
$198 million to design and furnish the DHS headquarters
$255 million for “priority procurements” at Coast Guard (polar ice breaker)
$500 million for State and local fire stations
$180 million for construction of Bureau of Land Management facilities
$500 million for wild land fire management
$110 million for construction for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
$522 million for construction for the Bureau of Indian Affairs
$650 million for abandoned mine sites
$75 million for the Smithsonian Institution
$1.2 billion for summer jobs for youth
$412 million for CDC headquarters
$500 million earmark for NIH facilities in Bethesda, MD
$160 million for “volunteers” at the Corp. for National and Community Service
$750 earmark for the National Computer Center in MD
$224 million for International Boundary and Water Commission – U.S. and Mexico
$850 million for Amtrak
$100 million for lead paint hazard reduction

Obamabull and Obamasocialism at its worst. The truth is not in this man and the worshipping press and messiah supporters still see no wrong in anything he does. When this package fails, and it will, the only silver lining is that now that Obama has touted this debacle as his recovery package and taken the credit for it as well as putting the weight of the Presidency behind it, when it fails it will insure a one term Presidency.

OBAMA PRESS CONFERENCE UNIMPRESSIVE HAND PICKED SOFTBALLS

Hitting the airways during prime time Barack Obama held his first news conference to supposedly use the opportunity as an avenue to get the American people behind the 838 billion dollar spending bill he calls a stimulus package. His first outing with the press before a prime television audience was unimpressive at best.

All President's have a prepared statement before the conference but Obama is the first I can remember who used a TelePrompter to deliver the statement. Considering how much of a failure he is without one, I was not surprised that he used the TelePrompter. He is well on his way to going down in history as the most scripted President.

His scripted beginning was not the only scripted moment in the press conference. It is becoming extremely obvious that he and his handlers are not willing to take tough questions and that every move Obama makes is designed to make him look good in front of the cameras in order to try and keep the messiah worship alive.

Rather than opening the floor to questions and choosing reporters by the traditional method of hand raising and the President calling on questioners, Obama had prepared a hand picked few whose questions had been screened before hand and deemed softball enough for Obama to answer. Also by choosing prior to the press conference Obama had opportunity to prepare an answer rather than risk stumbling and bumbling like he does off the cuff.

If this pre-prepared pattern continues we have a President who will never receive tough questions and who is not answerable to the American people in any manner. Even his ,"town hall," meetings held during the day prior to the press conference were scripted. As people were ushered into the venues they were screened not just for security reasons but in order to provide Obama with a crowd that was favorable and not risk the chance of a challenging question.

One did slip through in Elkhart, Indiana and she was booed by the crowd while Obama skirted around answering her question. Obama is more interested in image than substance. His appeal rather than in serving the people. Dodging hard questions as opposed to the transparency he so quickly boasts of. A transparency that thus far has not existed.

His first prime time press conference was nothing more than a scripted campaign stump for his agenda and his view of recovery. He is not the bipartisan guru that he claims but a President who obviously believes that his way and his way alone is the only option that can, "save," the country. Even though history shows that his option for economic recovery has failed many times and has never been successful.

His press conference was nothing more than the usual Obama platitudes, empty rhetoric and socialist views. A mirror of his campaign except that now as President it becomes policy and not just campaign promises and high sounding talk. Forcing policy down the throats of the American people is not leadership but dictatorship.

I truly believe that Obama has no desire to serve the people but rather force upon us what he thinks is best for us whether we like it or not. In his mind he knows what we need and he will force it down our throats for our own good regardless of the consequences. This is not the Presidency that our Founders created nor what our free country is about. But does, "the one, " care ? No because the messiah knows best and we had better get used to it. God help us all!

BARACK OBAMA, SCARING AMERICA INTO SOCIALISM - THE SUNDAY COMMENTARY

The House version will cost 820 billion dollars. The Senate version, 827 billion dollars. After the bill is sent to committee the final bill will have a price tag well over 800 billion dollars to be sent to the President for his signature. Resulting in Barack Obama having his victory to begin the march to socialism in America.

Whether it is called ,"The Economic Stimulus Package," or, "The Economic Recovery Package, " this bill which will be passed by the Senate on Tuesday and sent to Obama's desk soon after is the greatest transfer of power to the federal government in the history of The United States. Little of this debacle has any chance of creating a job or stimulating any aspect of the economy.

It is loaded with liberal pet projects and massive government spending all of which is designed to give control through spending to the government. Arguments against it are called un-American. Proposals that cost less by removing the pork are not even considered. Proposals that actually put money back into the pockets of the American people through legitimate tax rate cuts are called old and failed ideas.

As the bill began receiving stiff opposition from House and Senate Republicans and especially as the American people started seeing through the garbage and realizing that this bill was nothing more than a liberal wish list of spending and government programs, poll numbers began drastically dropping and the bill was quickly losing favor with the people.

Obama reacted with frustration and anger similar to a child who was not getting his way. The only thing missing was the stomping of feet and tears because we heard the whining and the small tantrums as he spoke to House Democrats during their 100 thousand dollar retreat in Williamsburg, Virginia.

In his press conferences, radio addresses, speeches at various functions Obama has used every opportunity to insight fear in the American people in order to get his way and force this bill down our throats though its passage. His attitude has been, "whether you like it or not we are facing Armageddon and only I can save the day with my bill."

Using phrases like, "the worst economy since the Great Depression, " which it is not, and ,"total economic collapse," also words like, "catastrophe," and , "Armageddon," if the bill is not passed Obama has created an atmosphere of fear. He is using this fear as a tool to get the bill passed and is literally scaring the country into accepting socialism.

In the final analysis that is exactly what this bill is. The beginning of a complete and likely irreversible march to socialism in The United States and Obama is using fear to get his way. He does not care what it costs, he does not care what the ramifications will be, he does not care that this total socialist spending bill is contrary to everything that our Constitution stands for.

He does not care that the bill does almost nothing to stimulate the economy. He only cares about changing the very fabric and foundation of our country from a free Republic of and by the people to a government controlled socialism with Barack Obama as its leader and author. This is what he meant when he campaigned on the mantra of change and the change from freedom to socialism is what he is getting with the passage of this bill.

In 1981 when Ronald Reagan took office he faced an economy that had 21% inflation, interest rates in the high teens which made purchasing a home and affording the payments nearly impossibly but also not very desirable. The country because of Carter embargoes and windfall profit taxes faced a fuel shortage that had Americans waiting in line sometimes hours to get what little gas was available.

Reagan's response to a far worse economy than we are facing today was to encourage Americans not scare them. He reminded us of who we are as a free people. Spoke of America as, "the shining city on a hill," and the best hope for the world. He encouraged Americans to stand in our freedoms and told us that are best days were before us.

He talked of his faith in the ability of Americans to revive the economy and backed these words up with action as he dropped tax rates for individuals and business returning money to the people from the government knowing that true stimulus comes from the people and not the government.

Reagan never promoted fear but created optimism. He never talked of weakness but stood fast through strength. He encouraged Americans and believed in America. He gave real hope and not fear mongering platitudes. And Americans responded. The economy soon turned around and America experienced the greatest peace time economic growth in our Nations history.

Reagan displayed true leadership and the people responded. Obama does not lead he creates fear. He does not provide an example to follow but uses scare tactics to get his way. While the economy is suffering because of the recent down turn, much of the problem lies in the fear that Obama and others like him are creating through their gloom and doom approach that has Americans afraid to spend and business afraid to hire.

All of this creates a climate of economic failure, job loses and a general atmosphere of gloom throughout the country and the world. I am not saying that optimistic words alone can change the current atmosphere, but continually discouraging Americans does not create an atmosphere of recovery either.

Reagan trusted the American people to promote and finally make the economic recovery of the eighties. He understood the necessity of letting the people control their money and their future. Obama trusts the government and complete social control of the people and every aspect of American life.

And he is succeeding through fear in creating the American socialism he wants. This bill is just the beginning. We are witnessing at the hand of a completely incompetent President the total change of our foundational principles and the creation of a new form of American government. A government of Obama, by Obama and for Obama.

RONALD REAGAN'S 98TH BIRTHDAY

Today is the 98th anniversary of the birth of President Ronald Reagan. The above video is taken from his farewell address on January 11, 1989. A message whose call is timeless and a message that the current administration should listen to and follow today.

Happy birthday Mr. President ! He is surely missed.

OBAMA CALL FOR COMPROMISE ON STIMULUS A LIE

Speaking to House Democrats at a luxury resort in Williamsburg, Virginia, Barack Obama not only never spoke of compromise or bipartisanship concerning the," stimulus," package but condemned those who oppose it and praised House Democrats for putting together this now 920 billion dollar spending bill.

All of this at a retreat for House Democrats that is costing the American taxpayer more than 100 thousand dollars to allow Dems to golf , party and partake in gourmet food for a weekend retreat at our expense.

In reference to cries about the massive pork spending included in the bill, Obama said what legislation does not have ,"earmarks," in it. Thus giving his approval to the excessive and ridiculous spending Democrats have included in the bill.

Obama has been praised by Democrats and the press for ,"reaching out," to Republicans during this process to try and pass this socialist style bill. Yet not once has he consulted with conservatives in order to consider thier ideas.

The Republicans he has talked with concerning possible compromises are selected RINO's like Susan Collins of Maine and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania. All who have a history of siding with Democrtas on many issues.

Listen to the above clip carefully and you will hear a man who does not seek compromise, does not care about bipartisanship, and only wants to spend this country into greater debt and a weaker economy.

His goal is to pass this socialist bill regardless of what the American people think who in recent polls overwhelmingly are opposed to this pork filled, non-stimulating socialist spending package that will only deepen the problem and rob the people of hard earned income!

THE LIBERAL LIE CARTOON GALLERY AND YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up

Tax evasion to Dems has a new politically correct term. They now call it a, "simple mistake." That is if it is one of their own. But when it comes to the American people the politically correct Dems phrase is, " we will share your wealth."



YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up - SEOUL, South Korea — A woman in South Korea who has taken the written exam required for a driver's license nearly every day since 2005 has failed again — but is hoping attempt No. 772 will be the charm. The aspiring driver took her first test in April 2005, according to Choi Young-chul, an official at the North Jeolla Province driver's license agency in Jeonju, 150 miles (240 kilometers) south of Seoul.


She has taken the test a record 771 times, most recently on Monday, but has yet to pass. She said she plans to take the test again but did not say when, he said today. The 68-year-old has spent 4 million won ($3,000) on fees for the test, he said. Applicants must score at least 60 on the written exam before they can get behind the wheel for a driving test. Choi says she's scored as high as 50.

"I feel sorry every time I see Cha fail. When she passes, I'll make a memorial tablet myself and give it to her," Park Jung-seok, a traffic police officer at the agency, told the Korea Times newspaper.

Either this lady is the most persistent person in the world or she just can't take the hint, " ride the bus and forget the drivers test! " - YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up





Finally the GOP has found a back bone ! Obama was so arrogantly sure that everyone would just bow to his messiahship and pass this ridiculous spending bill. But GOP House members and it looks like GOP Senators are telling Obama where he can put this bill !




YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up - SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — A 23-foot, 130-pound python can run but it can't hide. The orange reticulated python, the world's longest snake species, and a second python escaped from a terrarium inside their owner's home in San Luis Obispo on Sunday night. Police quickly warned residents that the snakes, though domesticated, were large enough to make meals of young children or pets.

But both were captured in the neighborhood by Monday afternoon. The smaller python, a 12-footer, was spotted under the owner's porch. The 23-footer was found basking in the sun in a backyard several blocks away. No injuries were reported. Police says the snakes' owner will not be cited. Says police Sgt. Kurt Hixenbaugh: "There is no leash law for snakes."

How can you have a leash law for a pet that is shaped like the leash ? Talk about your REAL snake in the grass ! - YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up







900 billion and climbing. Obama's plan is to only stimulate fellow liberals by granting their long wished for spending programs and pet projects by taking trillions from our pockets! So much for change !

A San Antonio family called police Sunday to report that a male relative might have been working on a bomb. Authorities described the man as being depressed recently.
But when police arrived, no explosives were found — just an oven the man had been tinkering with before kickoff. “The man had just bought some wings for the Super Bowl,” San Antonio police Lt. Scott Bell told the San Antonio-Express News. “These are not the actions of man about to do something harmful.”
The explosion came AFTER he ate the wings. - YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up


We are watching the reality of the most inept President the Nation has ever had. Unfortunately, we the people will be paying for his bumbles for the next four years and beyond. I just hope the price is not more that we can bare !

BARACK OBAMA, IN WAY OVER HIS HEAD AND IT SHOWS

During the 2008 Presidential campaign there were considerable questions concerning the lack of experience of Barack Obama. After all he was only three years into his only term as a United States Senator and had spent most of that time campaigning for the Presidency. His State legislature career was also rather short and very uneventful.

Experience was not his forte' and many tried to warn the American people about this potential problem, but the press all but worshipped him and a large number of voters backed him only because he looked and sounded good never listening to what he said nor questioning whether inexperience could handle the largest and toughest job in the world.

Now he holds that job and the inexperience that was brushed over during the campaign is a painful reality that shows more with each passing day. He was praised for a, "smooth," transition. When in reality was smooth more because of the out going Bush administration than the incoming Obama administration. Problems began showing their face throughout the transition, mistake being made by Obama and his staffers but the press was so caught up in their messiah worship that they, as in the campaign, brushed over the problems.

Now even the press is starting to catch on that the inexperience that was brushed over before is becoming a major problem in the administrative abilities of Barack Obama and a dangerous problem now that he is President of the United States where every blunder has major ramifications for this Nation and the world.

His Cabinet picks which were touted as the best ever during the transition are showing the lack of experience in selecting nominees as tax problems, ethical problems and major conflicts of interest problems have plagued nearly every nomination. The only reason that most have been confirmed, including Hillary Clinton is that Democrats have an almost unstoppable majority in the Senate.

His first days in office were riddled with Executive Orders like a kid in a candy shop setting an ethical bar that anyone with even a slight amount of experience would have known would cause problems because of who Obama hired for his administration. Obviously he never looked at the back ground nor the status of any of his appointees or his transparency and ethical orders made on that first day would never have been issued proving to be an embarrassment and a lie to the American people.

His orders to close Gitmo and reverse the ban on government funded abortions over seas have little or no backing by the American people and any seasoned politician will tell you that making unpopular moves even before the dust settles is a bad start especially when it angers most Americans and threatens, by Obama's own admission in an NBC interview, the Nations security as closing Gitmo does.

The , "stimulus," package proposed, defended and fought for by Obama is proving that not only is his inexperience causing a back lash within the Congress but with each passing day as more is revealed about this huge spending package, the American people are growing angrier and troubled by an administration that is blind to the reality of the problem and possible solutions.

Obama hits the airways with the same rhetoric every day about how necessary this package is and his press Secretary speaking on his behalf looks like a buffoon who stumbles over every question and never gives any resemblance of a straight answer.

Obama daily calls different people to The White House to ask their opinion and in the process it becomes more and more obvious he does not know what he is doing nor how to get out of the hole he has quickly dug for his Presidency.

Our enemies are seeing this inexperience and translating it into weakness. A weakness that they will soon begin taking advantage of in ways that may very well be devastating to the country and her citizens. Obama is so clouded and lost in trying to gain any control over the stimulus debacle that he cannot respond and frankly does not seem to know what is happening outside of the confines of The White House both here and abroad.

After whining from day one about the, "failures," of the Bush administration concerning Hurricane Katrina, Obama faces a disaster in Kentucky and Arkansas that has claimed dozens of lives. A disaster that he seems completely oblivious to. No disaster declaration, no FEMA and not even an acknowledgment from the President that Americans are dying every day from exposure to extreme icing and cold.

Barack Obama is in way over his head and the dangerous fact that accompanies this problem is that he holds the largest and toughest job in the world which demands sound judgement, hard decisions, total focus and a strength of character that few possess. The job has no time for inexperience, on the job training or waiting for someone to step in and help because the President is lost !

The Presidency demands someone who can and will step up when it counts and has a constant grasp of every situation at home and abroad. A demand that Barack Obama thus far has failed to meet and if his first two weeks are any indication may NEVER be able to meet before the job that currently overwhelms him becomes out of control and a danger to the Nation and the people.
