The High Cost Of Presidential Travel

The last two days I have posted suggestions for which non-essential services to cut during the government shut-down. Cousin Sharon from the great socialist state of California sent a video that adds credence to my argument. Unfortunately for Sharon, she is the very last Republican in California. Watch this short film to learn some interesting facts about the high cost of the presidency.

The High Cost of Presidential Travel

A Ray of Hope?

For once something sensible has come from socialist California. Perhaps there is a ray of hope for those poor people who live there.

Wouldn’t you like to take your family on vacations in this style? Most of us would simply like to afford a vacation, any way we could get it.

Shouldn’t our leaders, especially the main man in charge show us some good example and compassion by keeping a low profile during tough times?

 

To Beast or Bike, That is the Question

Beast or Bike?

A few days ago I made a proposal for an energy policy (Where Does it Leave Us?). Today, I read an article about Secretary of Energy Steven Chu spilling the beans that his plan is to push oil prices up to eight dollars a gallon. He wants us to become like Europe. Okay, let’s increase per-capita car ownership to Luxembourg levels. Let’s surround the country with nuclear power plants like the French, lets encourage more muslims to come and add to our diversity, let’s go back in time to build railroads, lets arm every citizen like the Swiss, lets decriminalize drug use like Portugal, lets remove references to the holocaust to avoid offending the muslims, lets allow schools to decide the career path your kid will go down in fourth grade like the Germans, let’s live with twenty-one percent unemployment like the Greeks, in general let’s go along with these new and exciting ideas for transforming America into a third world country.

It makes sense now why Obama kills all new drilling, he wants to put oil into short supply so the price goes up. Then he will blame those terrible big oil companies for lining their pockets with profits. Keeping us dependent on foreign oil also lets him funnel money (redistribute the wealth) to the Saudis. Hmm? Saudi Kings spend money in the USA. Very good for the economy right? Wrong. The Saudi vision is a mosque on every corner in the USA staffed by a radical muslim imam spewing hatred to his followers protected by the First Amendment. Second, they fund American Universities to set up departments to spread Arab-American relations. Don’t you wonder why we suddenly see home-grown jihadists willing to blow themselves up for Allah. Many American colleges have departments and courses to study Arab culture, sharia law, and promote a lack of tolerance for non-muslims. Universities brainwash students under the guise they need a better understanding of Arabs so they can become informed political scientists and bureaucrats. Yep, eight dollar a gallon gas going to the mid-east makes perfect sense to me.

Meanwhile our good King Obama promotes raising gas prices as a way to incentivize new forms of energy. At the rate we are going, there will be no need for new forms of energy because all of us will be living in a mud hut with a solar bottle for light. Who will be able to afford to drive a car at eight dollar gas? Which company will be able to ship food to the stores at eight dollar gas? Who will be able to move to jobs within walking distance of their homes? Who will feed the Beast and Air Force One for the pleasure of the King?

So Steven Chu let the cat out of the bag, the US Energy Policy is to raise gas prices to European levels or eight dollars a gallon.

I’m scared folks because this scenario sounds like Ayne Rands story “Atlas Shrugged” more and more. Get ready for the day when the Elite-Haves take from the Have-Nots to keep the Elite-Haves telling the Have-Nots what is good for them, because Elite-Haves are smarter and know what is good for you Mr. Have-Not.

Trillion Dollar Joy Ride

      My fellow citizens voted for Change thinking that the new guy would perform miracles and overhaul Washington game playing. What they got is a change for the worse. The administration is using tried and true tactics known to the players in Washington for decades. If the president needs a vote, he buys it. Why not? It has been done over and over and over again with great success in major democratic cities like Chicago, Boston, and New York.

     What gets me upset is the price that he pays for a vote. In one case he made a deal with the Senator from Nebraska that will cost billions. Another vote bought  in Louisiana cost a hundred million. The real corker though is the price he paid for the vote of Dennis Kucinich from Ohio. I consider Dennis to have the character of a tape worm. That’s a worm that grows in your intestine, and lives off anything that comes through the canal. Anyway, we now know that Dennis can be had with a simple ride in Air Force One.

What really troubles me is that Dennis seemed to be very convinced that he would vote “no” on the health care bill. He was very committed to having a public option. Somehow, he changed his mind on that ride with POTUS. Could it be that POTUS put a bug in his ear, that a public option is not far away because it’s buried in the 2700+ page bill?

Presidential Terror Attack

Any one who still believes the threat of terror in our country is not real, has not seen the videos of  New Yorkers running out of their buildings after seeing the Presidential Airplane flying low toward Manhattan.  They weren’t taking chances. Who wants to stay in a building that has an airplane headed toward it?

Our president is responsible for inflicting terror upon the people of Manhattan.  For what ever reason, his airplane was being used to “take pictures” using the Statue of  Liberty as a backdrop. Or maybe he was testing the people to see if they are alert to another attack. It is clear that whatever the reason, people are still afraid that a terrorist attack can happen again.

Our country has a mind set to not believe that we were kept safe by the Bush administration. There is true skepticism, after all nothing happened. The liberal logic tries to make us believe that nothing happened because there was never any threat of a terrorist attack in the USA.  If we truly believed that to be true, why were the people of New York running?

During the cold war, we called propaganda efforts such as “no threat exists”  a communist front. What do we call it today?

This is my interpretation of what actually took place:
