In answering a question from a student about how Pelosi was going to get Americans to cut back on their carbon emissions, the leading Democratic lawmaker said it was important to educate children on how to conserve energy and for citizens to build more environmentally friendly homes. "We have so much room for improvement," she said. <b>"Every aspect of our lives must be subjected to an inventory ... of how we are taking responsibility."</b></p>

"Account must be taken of every single article, every pound of grain, because what socialism implies above all is keeping account of everything"</p>

<blockquote>Obama's economics brains trust is still getting it wrong on the US economy: Obama's economic brains trust has a brilliant plan to rescue the US economy: print oodles of money and when prices start zooming cut off the supply. 
<p>
That this will also cause interest rates to zoom and bond prices to dive is just something Americans would have to live with once the economy was comatosed again. There is more than just one flaw in the plans of these economic descendents of Wile E. Coyote</p>

What is inherited that makes people Leftist or Rightist? There is any amount of evidence that personality traits are strongly genetically inherited so my proposal would be that hard-core Leftists are people who tend to let their emotions run away with them and who are much more in need of praise from others -- two attributes that are probably related to one another. Such Leftists may be an evolutionary leftover from a more primitive past.</blockquote>

<b>The Obama flip-flops you don't know about</b>
<p>
Since winning the election, Obama has famously <b>flip-flopped </b>on many of the major issues that he championed on the campaign trail. But did you know he’s also flip-flopped on a myriad of less publicized issues? This much everybody knows: Even before taking office, Obama broke his promise to not appoint lobbyists to his administration. Since then, he’s abandoned his promises to pay for every dollar of new government spending and bring home all combat troops from Iraq within 18 months. And in recent days, he’s outraged his political base by reversing his earlier commitments to eliminate military tribunals and release photos depicting prisoner abuse. All those well-publicized reversals have overshadowed the administration’s flip-flops on a host of additional positions. Here are just some of the biggest flip-flops that you may not have noticed:</p>

<p>
<b>Osama bin Laden:</b> During the presidential debates last year, Obama declared that capturing or killing Osama bin Laden “has to be our biggest national security priority.” In his first TV interview after winning the election, he said the terrorist leader was “not just a symbol. He’s also the operational leader of an organization that is planning attacks against U.S. targets,” and that the additional troops being sent to Afghanistan would hunt him down because “capturing or killing bin Laden is a critical aspect of stamping out Al Qaeda.” Bin Laden’s significance to Obama dissipated during the transition. By the time Obama gave another interview in early January, he said killing or capturing bin Laden was not necessary to “meet our goal of protecting America.” A few months later, when he announced his Afghanistan troop surge, he made no reference to the hunt for bin Laden.</p>

<p>
<b>On human space exploration:</b> Early in his presidential campaign, Obama had great reservations about the costs and risks of human space flight. He said he would delay NASA’s plans to send humans to the moon and, eventually, Mars and, instead, spend that money on education. But, as Florida, Ohio and Texas became more politically important, Obama began to walk back his proposed NASA cuts, promising to fund unmanned space exploration and some other scientific missions. Now that he’s in office, Obama’s reversal is complete: The White House budget, released earlier this month, provides a healthy increase in NASA funding and explicitly endorses the “goal of returning Americans to the moon and exploring other destinations.”</p>

<p>
<b>On the Armenian genocide:</b> In the U.S. Senate and on the campaign trail, Obama firmly declared that the death of 1.5 million Armenians during World War I was “genocide” — a touchy topic between Turks and Armenians and a political priority for Armenian-Americans — and promised that “as president, I will recognize the Armenian genocide. Nonetheless, during his recent trip to Turkey as president, Obama broke his promise. Instead, he tried to muddy the waters, announcing that “my views are on the record and I have not changed views” but refusing to state what those views actually are.</p>

<p>
<b>On business tax cuts:</b> Even though he unapologetically promised to raise taxes on entrepreneurs (and everybody else) making more than $250,000 per year, Obama offered small businesses some solace by promising several specific tax cuts. One, which became a cornerstone of his campaign’s jobs plan, would eliminate capital gains taxes for small businesses. Another, which he proposed as the economy crashed in the waning days of the campaign, would offer businesses a $3,000 tax credit for every employee they hired. The economy has not improved since Obama’s election, but he nevertheless shelved both proposals: His budget puts off the capital gains tax cut until after his term in office ends and makes no mention of his new-job tax credit.</p>

<p>
These four examples only scratch the surface of Obama’s reversals since taking office. Other flip-flops include everything from federally funding needle-exchange programs (which he supported in the campaign but his budget does not), allowing five days of public review before bill signings (he broke the promise with his first bill signing) and ordering the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.</p>

<p>
Obama’s senior adviser, David Axelrod, recently told POLITICO that “Obama’s governing is completely consistent with the way he campaigned.” A cursory comparison between his campaign promises and administration policies shows that’s not true.</p>

<b>Could Obama’s Left Wing Flap him to Death?</b>
<p>
Naturally from our vantage point, Barack Obama is a left-wing terror as president. To name just a few things, he is turning our system from one of capitalism to one of socialism, he is attempting to undermine the Constitution by placing an activist on the Supreme Court, he is weakening our national security by frittering away the gains of the previous administration and by bending over backwards for our enemies while constantly flipping off our allies, he is looking to destroy our national healthcare system by introducing a disastrous single payer system, and he is attempting to give anti-business unions the power to destroy what is left of the business community that he himself hasn’t gotten around to crushing as of yet. We on the right are alarmed by his trip down the ruinous road that Europe has already well traveled to rueful results.</p>

<p>
One would think that the American left (or the anti-American left as the case may be) would be thrilled that their most fantasized about social, political, and economic sledgehammers were being wielded by their Obammessiah. But, one might be surprised to see that the extremists on the left are beginning to rumble in seething anger over the fact that, to date, Obama hasn’t gone fast enough or far enough to the extreme left to suit them. One of these wild-eyed, bomb-throwers has even just called for his resignation.</p>

<p>
So, are we beginning to see waning the far left’s love affair with The One? Might this disappointment turn into the sort of lefty outrage that it did with Lyndon Baines Johnson? Will Barack Obama’s left wing flap him to death?</p>

<p>
It is too early to tell, of course, but there are rumblings that seem to be revealing a great disappointment in Barack Franklin Fitzgerald Abraham Hussein Obama.</p>

<p>
farmers will be the only thing that keeps this country afloat one way or another,</p>

<p>
when printing money, as before in history, gov. control of energy and incredible national debt</p>

<p>
fuels runaway inflation - worthless money.</p>

<p>
  Then, as he explained it, social and economic chaos will result. </p>

<p>
But he figures freedom and American ingenuity would prevail, farmers</p>

<p>
would be valued for feeding the country, and America would pull out of the </p>

<p>
hard times... said to be worse than the depression.</p>

<p>
  He was explaining that prices aren't pegged on supply and demand anymore....</p>

<p>
for example, the gov sets milk prices, and across the road, at a dairy farm,</p>

<p>
the farmer works more than twice as hard has he used to, for about half of what</p>

<p>
he used to make.</p>

<p>
 He said, when the gov keeps  spending too much printed money, and the futures</p>

<p>
markets and gov intervention and control on energy drive prices out of control,</p>

<p>
dairy farmers lose their profit completely, and probably should just pour their milk</p>

<p>
down the drain.</p>

<p>
   But, he said, we'll all be okay after those devastating hard times...</p>

<p>
because Americans always kick back against hard times, take control of their lives again,</p>

<p>
kick in that American ingenuity and survival instinct.</p>

<p>
   Yes, we are in for some very, very bad times ahead, I also figure.</p>

<p>
   But, with THIS pres admin, we're a ship that will hit an iceberg and sink</p>

<p>
before the passengers and crew realized we went the wrong way on the voyage.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/74898</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/74898</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[calfoxwc]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 May 2009 06:08:04 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
