Well GOP, It looks like we have our nominee. He is just a lighter version of Obama or Obamney as I like to call him. He was able to win the New Hampshire race with 39% of the votes.
“President Obama wants to put free enterprise on trial, and the last few days we’ve seen some desperate Republicans join forces with him,” Romney said at his victory party in Manchester. “This is such a mistake for our party.”
I do agree with line that this is such a mistake. Obamney is a mistake for America.
In an interview with CBS This Morning the first lady said she was tired of being called the “angry black woman”. In response to a new book written about the Obamas called “The Obamas”.

Rush is taking heat for saying that Obama is “lawless” and acting outside the Constitution. Rush quoted Obama’s speech below:
“When Congress refuses to act — and as a result, hurts our economy and puts our people at risk — then I have an obligation as president to do what I can without them. I have an obligation to act on behalf of the American people. I’m not going to stand by while a minority in the Senate puts party ideology ahead of the people that we elected to serve. Not with so much at stake, not at this make-or-break moment for middle class Americans. We’re not gonna let that happen.”- Obama
Glenn Beck talks about Obama’s speech today and Pat from his show even said that Obama is now the King. Is Obama throwing our governemt to the side and running the country his way? Obama said “I refuse to take no for an answer” See Glenn’s show below http://www.glennbeck.com/2012/01/05/hail-to-the-king-obamas-latest-power-grab/

President Obama talked about his “American Jobs Act” at Fire Station #9 this Wednesday on his bus tour. The President offered his solution for job growth by saying “A fair shot for everybody; a fair share from everybody. That’s the principle that built America.” He managed a few cheers and claps. He then went on to say “You can go ahead and clap, Go ahead, nothing wrong with it.” I guess the luster is beginning to wear or maybe the firefighters understand that Obama really doesn’t want a “fair share” he wants it all.
— All hail King Obama.
Vice President Joe Biden is now denying that he made a reference
to rape when he made allegations that if Obama’s job’s bill did not pass rape
would go up. When he was asked if he would like to retract his statement he
became very agitated and said “I didn’t use, no no no ….Let’s get it straight
guy. Don’t Screw around with me,” Biden then confirmed that he said those
comments about rape. “Murder will continue to rise, rape will continue to rise,
all crimes will continue to rise” if the Democrats bill is not passed he said. See complete video below.

President Obama still has a series of campaign events this weekend ahead of Tuesday’s Election Day, but it’s his appearances off the campaign trail that has Washington watchers wondering whether he’s trying to shed his coattails before an expected Democratic drubbing at the polls.
The choice of non-political events the president has selected this campaign season doesn’t appear to be doing hopeful Democrats any favors. And with the House expected to lose anywhere from 45-60 Democratic seats to Republicans and the Senate likely to turn a handful or more seats to the GOP, according to the latest polling prognosticators, the president already is setting the bar low for the next two years.
“I’m president and not king,” Obama said Wednesday night in a meeting with bloggers meant to shore up what’s left of his support. “And so I’ve got to get a majority in the House and I’ve got to get 60 votes in the Senate to move any legislative initiative forward.” Full Story
I am going to talk of controversial things. I make no apology for this.
It’s time we asked ourselves if we still know the freedoms intended for us by the Founding Fathers. James Madison said, “We base all our experiments on the capacity of mankind for self government.”
This idea? that government was beholden to the people, that it had no other source of power is still the newest, most unique idea in all the long history of man’s relation to man. This is the issue of this election: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.
You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to man’s age-old dream-the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. Regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would sacrifice freedom for security have embarked on this downward path. Plutarch warned, “The real destroyer of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations and benefits.”
The Founding Fathers knew a government can’t control the economy without controlling people. And they knew when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. So we have come to a time for choosing.
Public servants say, always with the best of intentions, “What greater service we could render if only we had a little more money and a little more power.” But the truth is that outside of its legitimate function, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector.
Yet any time you and I question the schemes of the do-gooders, we’re denounced as being opposed to their humanitarian goals. It seems impossible to legitimately debate their solutions with the assumption that all of us share the desire to help the less fortunate. They tell us we’re always “against,” never “for” anything.
We are for a provision that destitution should not follow unemployment by reason of old age, and to that end we have accepted Social Security as a step toward meeting the problem. However, we are against those entrusted with this program when they practice deception regarding its fiscal shortcomings, when they charge that any criticism of the program means that we want to end payments….
We are for aiding our allies by sharing our material blessings with nations which share our fundamental beliefs, but we are against doling out money government to government, creating bureaucracy, if not socialism, all over the world.
We need true tax reform that will at least make a start toward I restoring for our children the American Dream that wealth is denied to no one, that each individual has the right to fly as high as his strength and ability will take him…. But we can not have such reform while our tax policy is engineered by people who view the tax as a means of achieving changes in our social structure….
Have we the courage and the will to face up to the immorality and discrimination of the progressive tax, and demand a return to traditional proportionate taxation? . . . Today in our country the tax collector’s share is 37 cents of -very dollar earned. Freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp.
Are you willing to spend time studying the issues, making yourself aware, and then conveying that information to family and friends? Will you resist the temptation to get a government handout for your community?Realize that the doctor’s fight against socialized medicine is your fight. We can’t socialize the doctors without socializing the patients. Recognize that government invasion of public power is eventually an assault upon your own business. If some among you fear taking a stand because you are afraid of reprisals from customers, clients, or even government, recognize that you are just feeding the crocodile hoping he’ll eat you last.
If all of this seems like a great deal of trouble, think what’s at stake. We are faced with the most evil enemy mankind has known in his long climb from the swamp to the stars. There can be no security anywhere in the free world if there is no fiscal and economic stability within the United States. Those who ask us to trade our freedom for the soup kitchen of the welfare state are architects of a policy of accommodation.
They say the world has become too complex for simple answers. They are wrong. There are no easy answers, but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right. Winston Churchill said that “the destiny of man is not measured by material computation. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we are spirits-not animals.” And he said, “There is something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.”
You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children’s children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done.
Greenpeace does not like the power source that runs all those servers at Facebook. According to Greenpeace Mark should have powered Facebook using a “wind farm” instead of dirty old coal.
A “New Governing Agenda” for the Republicans promises the following:
Permanent bush tax cuts
Repealing Health Care Law
Freezing Federal Hiring
Eliminating the Stimulus
I’m asking why do we need a “New Governing Agenda” shouldn’t the party that stands for fiscal responsibility already have these ideas? It’s like this is some kind of new revelation that the people want all the spending in Washington to stop, they want their own money back and they want the government to stop bailing out all the corrupt business.
