2010 - The year may be a year to forget except for good news in November.
Let's review.
Cold weather. Snow up to my a...! More snow.
Lousy politics in DC (nothing new there). Unneeded and unwanted federal government take over of the American Health Care System.
High unemployment. Obama said in 2009 jobs was in his mind and he was focusing his laser on jobs. Few jobs were created as more folks lost jobs.
Obama said in early 2010 he was focusing on jobs. Did he mean killing jobs or creating jobs? No one could tell because the nation kept losing jobs and the unemployment lines grew and grew. When Obama took office unemployment was 8 percent. It reached 10 percent despite "stimulus" bills passed by the Democrat controlled Congress.
Oil spill in the Gulf. Bad news because Obama quickly outlawed drilling/pumping oil/gas from existing wells.
Hence, higher gas prices. The politicians made the spill worse by polluting the air waves with their senseless talk. The best solution would have been to allow Nature to fix the spill which it always does in due time.
November brought good news as the voters revolted against the Democrats. The Dems lost the House by a large margin and lost 6 or 7 seats in the Senate.
The Tea Party is responsible in large part for the taxpayers revolt against out of control politicians who cannot do their job (creating a federal budget on time, protecting our borders, and spending taxpayer money as if it were their own). No, the DC crowd wants to spend more and more to buy votes and feed their pet special interests groups.
There is more work to do to clean up DC.
2012 is coming. Get ready.

Tea Party
Let's have a Tea Party.
Harken back to the 1770s but instead of dumping the Taxed Tea into the harbour, let's dump the Taxing Politicians !!
How about it?
2012 is coming!
And 2012 offers a great opportunity to dump more wasteful, corrupt, out of touch, arrogant, elite, and unAmerican politicians from political office.
I have all of them in my eye.

California......
... can float off into the Pacific Ocean any time it wants.
I am sick of California.
California: America's Greece.
California: The land of fruits and political nuts.
California: Perhaps a nice place to visit, but I do not want to live there.
California: Home of 33 million movie stars.
California: Proof there is no known cure for insanity.

A New Congress....
...will come to DC in January 2011.
What is its mission?
Why did the voters remove 60+ liberal Democrats from office?
Why did the GOP gain numerous state houses, governerships, and control of many state legislatures?
Was the Obama shift to the Left the reason? Obama did not campaign as a socialist but he has governed as a socialist. Obama knew the voters would not elect him if he promised socialistic policies. Yet that is what the nation got during Obama's first two years.
The new Congress must repeal, at least make the attempt since Obama will veto it, the Health Care takeover law.
And the new Congress must stop any more moves to the political left and reverse some of the policies of the past two years.
The new Congress must balance the budget. To do this it must cut spending. It can start by outlawing earmarks and cut pork and numerous subsidies to special interest groups.
Start by stopping federal funding to NPR and PBS.
Gotta start somewhere.

Does Obama Get It?
It started in 2009. Elections in Virginia and New Jersey led the way. A special election to fill the vacant US Senate seat of the late Teddy Kennedy was held in early 2010.
Scott Brown, a Republican, won the special . This was a shock to many liberals and lefties. Was nothing political sacred?? How could it happen?
There were other warning signs to the politicians in DC. The Tea Party movement sprang up overnight and attracted many Americans turned off by the excessive and reckless federal spending, by the constant move to the political left, by the unwanted and unnecessay Health Care monstrosity, and by the deafness of many of our elected officials.
Yet despite the election results and numerous polls showing a majority of Americans fed up with the federal government - its spending habits, its inability to control the budget, its waste of taxpayer money, the bailouts of banks, auto makers, and unions - President Obama insisted the American people did not understand. The problem, Obama and others said, was the message was not clear or delivered properly.
Huh?
I think the American people understand exactly what is going on in Washington. That is why the Nov 2 election results brought real change. The people know. And they do not care for the shift to the Left. That is not the change most Americans wanted.
Even after the Democrats lost 60+ seats and control of the US House Obama still does not get it. The Democrats lost 6 or more seats in the US Senate and have 23 Senate seats up in 2012.
Maybe Obama will get it after the next election.

Obamanomics
... is what we get when the people of this country elect a socialist as its leader.
Let's review:
When Obama took office the unemployment rate was just under 8 percent. Obama pushed a stimulus bill through Congress to prevent the unemployment rate from going higher than 8 percent. It went to 10 percent and is hovering around that number now. The real rate is closer to 15-18 percent since many folks have given up on finding a job.
Businesses are scared of the risks associated with Obama's economic plan -such as it is. There are too many unknowns for business owners to stick their necks out. Taxes will go up in January 2011. The Bush tax cuts expire so no one is hiring. And the large black cloud lurking overhead is the so-called Health Care Reform - a misnomer, for sure, which has most sensible people worried about its nasty ramifications and unintended consequences.
But November is coming.
Real hope remains alive, albeit on a machine.
My hope is for repeal of the unconstitutional federal power grab call health care reform.
November is coming.
