Walking Eagle

President BARACK OBAMA was invited to address a major gathering of the American Indian Nation two weeks ago in upstate New York .


He spoke for almost an hour about his plans for increasing every Native American's present standard of living. He referred to his time as a U.S. Senator and how he had voted for every Native American issue that came to the floor of the Senate.


Although President Obama was vague about the details of his plans, he seemed most enthusiastic and spoke eloquently about his ideas for helping his "red sisters and brothers."


At the conclusion of his speech, the Tribes presented Obama with a plaque inscribed with his new Indian name, "Walking Eagle."

The proud President Obama accepted the plaque and then departed in his motorcade to a fundraiser, waving to the crowds.

A news reporter later asked the group of chiefs how they came to select the new name they had given to the President.

They explained that "Walking Eagle" is the name given to a bird so full of shit that it can no longer fly.

The Staff: Couldn't help myself

 

Obama Strikes Again

Screw the Law, Screw the Congress and Stick the Immigration Laws. From what I have read on the net tonight, it appears in the wisdom of his high ass, Obama is going to ignore the wishes of the people, Congress and allow illegals stay to in the country so long as they get good grades.To hell with the congress as they no longer matter and the people, forget them, the messiah knows better. Remember he was a Community Organizer and the "Dream Act" is coming. Now he is again bypassing the congress as this SOB knows better. After breaking the bankruptcy laws and not providing for the bonds holders but taking care of his union voters what do you expect? Follow the law, not if it gets in his way.

What I don't understand is allowing him to break the bankruptcy laws and nothing happens. This so called leader is the weakest excuse for a president I have ever seen or heard of. I always thought Jimmy carter was bad but this organizer is far worse. From my time is St Louis and listening to Chicago politics, he has brought that to the white house and turned it into a cesspool of politicians.

We have all heard of or known an "Empty Suit" at one time or another. King of the Empty Suits resides in the white house for now. He and his group of clowns have attempted to destroy our country and if they remain, it WILL happen. The 2012 election is coming and I expect it to be filled with nothing but dirt as he can not run on his record. If he was in a third world county, he would have been overthrown and removed from power.

Do any of you remember him swearing to 'Defend the Constitution"? Will, that was a lie and he is a liar as he has done everything he can to shred it and believes it is no longer valid. He needs to go and go the American Way, VOTE THE SOB OUT. We can and will vote the SOB out and restore our country to what it has always been, Exceptional.

Sorry

I wish to apologize to anyone and everyone who has read any of my comments. I have been involved with caring for my wife as she was fighting for her life from Ovarian Cancer. On June 12th she lost her battle and I lost my love.

Shortly I will once again be writing and making comments some will not like and many will. One of the first things I will go after has nothing to do with politics but why my wife's passing was preventable.

If my wife had been provided a simple blood test, she would be alive today but in the wisdom of some lame ass people (Physicians Assistant/Doctor) she was not advised about the life saving test nor offered. I point my finger directly at the Physicians Assistant. As we all know the first we thing fill out is a medical history including our extended family. After what happened, they must have used it for toilet paper as these lazy ass people did not bother to read it. If they did, than I would than believe they should be sued for medical malpractice.

My wife's medical history is very easy to understand, eight (8) aunts died from cancer, her mother died from cancer and her father had cancer at his death. Does anyone think her odds of not getting cancer were good? Most women get a screening for Breast Cancer or a Pap Smear for cervical cancer but very few get a CA-125 Blood Test for Ovarian. Far too many doctors tell their patients that the test is not accurate or not needed, yet every cancer center in this country uses it. One doctor here even told her a Pap was no longer needed at her age (64).

Dr. Rosenfeld on Fox News Sunday has EVERY FEMALE patient get the test. The National Cancer Society did a study of 34,000 women and stated they had 3,000 false positive test some of which had follow up that caused problems but found no cancer. No where did they say if anyone was found to have had ovarian and I wonder why. You can't have it both ways where every center uses it but family doctors say it is not needed.

I'm sorry, but who cares about false positives if you can save one person with a simple blood test why not do it. The symptoms for ovarian are not visible until you are usually in Stage Three and at that time your chances of survival are very low. Most women will not see another five years and yet if found in Stage 2, you have an extremely good chance of survival.

This lack of testing has nothing to do with Obamacare but will only get worse under his plan. It is bad enough now that mostly male doctors treat women different and it isn't always males that do. I think it is the lack of caring, reading the family history and being proactive when treating patients.

What I have learned is this, Take care of yourself, search the net for information and always get a second opinion. Learn what testing is out there if you have a family history of cancer or some other disease. If your doctor won't provide the testing with something as simple as a blood test that may save your life, fire the SOB and find a doctor who will work with you. Be sure the doctor is aware of any family history that could follow you as their staff may not look at what you wrote, meaning nurses or physicians assistant.

My wife is gone because a physicians assistant didn't do her job and was not proactive. Marie had a physical about 5 or 6 months before Stage Three appeared and it would have been found at Stage 1 or 2 if the CA-125 had been done with her other blood work. I blame myself for not finding out about test and the physicians assistant for not LOOKING at the family history as it was in Marie's file and discussed (I was present) at times with Donna. As she is no longer with the medical firm where this happened I don't know if it would be fair to mention them.

What I will do now is call that firm and ask if they do the test yet. Well, no one answered and appears they are closed. Their answering service link has been disconnected. The name of the firm was "Total Health" in Boone North Carolina. The branch my wife was treated at was in Newland, NC.

I am glad they are gone given the level of care but the lady who did not look at the family history nor provide the testing she should have is still in the area. Can't do anything about that but she has to live knowing that IF she had ordered the blood work at Marie's physical based on family history, my love would be here now.

Editor: I am sorry for some spelling as it was very hard to write this through the tears. I hope I have corrected all now and remember the test, CA-125 could save your wife or you.

SCARY

Watch for this AFTER November elections; remember this...BEFORE you VOTE...in case you think Obama's "looking out for your best interest." 1% tax on all bank transactions HR 4646 This government just cannot think of enough ways to hurt the American people!This Bill must die     FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!                   1% tax on all bank transactions HR 4646 - ANOTHER NEW OBAMA TAX SLIPPED IN WHILE WE WERE ASLEEP. Checked this on snopes, it's true! Check out HR 4646.  (see below...copied from Snopes) President Obama's finance team is recommending a one percent (1%) transaction fee (TAX). Obama's plan is to sneak it in after the November elections to keep it under the radar. This is a 1% tax on all transactions at any financial institution - banks, credit unions, savings and loans, etc. Any deposit you make, or even a transfer within your account, will have a 1% tax charged. If your paycheck or your social security or whatever is direct deposit, it will get a 1% tax charged for the transaction. If your paycheck is $1000, then you will pay Obama $10 just for the privilege of depositing your paycheck in your bank. Even if you hand carry your paycheck or any check into your bank for a deposit, 1% tax will be charged.   You receive a $5,000 stock dividend from your broker...Obama takes $50, just to allow you to deposit that check in the bank!.   If you take $1,000 cash to deposit at your bank, 1% tax will be charged. Mind you, this is from the man who promised that, if you make under $250,000 per year, you will not see one penny of new tax. Keep your eyes and ears open, you will be amazed at what you learn about this guy's under-the-table moves to increase the number of ways you are taxed. Oh, and by the way, you receive a refund from the IRS next year and you have it direct deposited or you walk in to deposit that check, you guessed it. You will pay a 1% charge of that money...just for putting it in your bank. Remember, any money, cash, check or whatever, no matter where it came from, you will pay a 1% fee if you put it in the bank.                         Some will say, oh well, it's just 1%. Are you kidding me? It's a 1% tax increase across the board. Remember, once the tax is there, they can also raise it at will. And if anyone protests, they will just say, "oh,that's not really a tax, it's a user fee"! Think this is no big deal? Go back and look at the transactions you made from last year's banking statements. Then add the total of all those transactions and deduct 1%.  Still think it's no big deal??? snopes.com:  Debt Free America Act Is the U.S. government proposing a 1% tax on debit card usage and/or banking transactions? It is true. The bill is HR-4646 introduced by US Rep Peter deFazio (D-Oregon) and US Senator Tom Harkin (D-Iowa). Their plan is to sneak it in. To submit the Debt Free America Act (H.R. 4646) , a bill calling for the implementation of a scheme to pay down the...[2010] by Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-Pa.).

A letter Porter Stansberry wrote to Obama and he says it VERY well !!!!!!

In honor of our national Tax Day, I've written the following letter to Mr. Barack Hussein Obama. Please feel free to pass this around if you like it…

Dear Mr. President,

Welcome to the ashbin of history.

With the speech you gave this week, you have firmly and permanently put yourself in the same garbage bag as all the other communists and socialists of the 20th century.

Your speech sounded like the faint echo of a speech Lenin gave in an icy square in Moscow 100 years ago.

The promises you made, Mr. President, about the government giving people things they can't provide for themselves – a better income, reliable health care, an advanced education, cheaper mortgages, a "shiny, happy" life – have been made time and time again… sometimes by speakers even better than you.

And they have always been lies.

While the government can demand obedience (and taxes), it can't mandate dedication, creativity, or innovation. The fact is, the government itself is nothing more (or less) than the organized ambitions of the people. Promising something to the people that they don't already have is a logical absurdity. And therein lies the timeless flaw of all collectivist theory: Governments cannot deliver benefits to the people that the people cannot deliver to themselves.

To demonstrate this truth, consider this example… Governments cannot simply mandate higher tax revenue. Any substantial increase to tax rates will reduce total collections, an economic phenomenon known as the Laffer Curve. This has been proven countless times in our country and many others. Any sensible person will immediately understand why. Taxes are a disincentive. The higher the marginal rate of tax, the more powerful its impact.

That's why, over many decades (and many different tax structures), U.S. tax revenues have been remarkably stable at around 20% of GDP. That's why, as you surely know, Mr. President, changing the tax code will not result in increased tax revenue. Taxing only the rich simply doesn't work. It never has. And it never will. To increase the government's revenues, we must first increase the size of the economy. The government cannot tax what the economy doesn't produce.

In another time, most Americans might have simply ignored your speech as the ignorant remarks of yet another handsome, Ivy League-educated, dilettante president. But at this point in our history, my bet is people are going to take you far more seriously than you expect. In fact, I think you're going to get what you deserve – the trash heap. Why will Americans turn on you so rapidly and so completely?

Two things have changed – forever – about American politics.

The first is the media and access to critical information. It's no longer possible for a president's administration to control what people read, see, and think by simply managing the evening news broadcasts.

Thus, all your lies, are now exposed almost instantly and broadcast to millions of people via websites and services like the Drudge Report, Twitter, and Facebook. Socialism cannot possibly survive over any long period of time in a society with a free media – because socialism is based on a lie. Facebook means the "half-life" of socialism is now weeks instead of years. Even mainstream publications like the Wall Street Journal have called you a liar this week. They have no choice. Your lies were broadcast to the entire world long before their op-ed pieces appeared.

Your advisors told you none of these "bloggers" mattered. All you had to do was promise more benefits to more voters and then force fewer voters to pay for it all. I'm sure you did the political calculus… You believed your power to bribe and bamboozle the poor and the ignorant was stronger than the resentment you'd engender among the "rich." And I must admit… since at least World War II, that's been a safe bet in American politics.

But you forgot one critical factor: We simply can't afford this nonsense anymore…

Immediately after your speech, the price of silver went from $39 to a new high above $42. Gold went up, too.

These are signs, Mr. President, that the world is losing confidence in our currency. If our foreign creditors were to call in our debts, America would suffer an economic cataclysm unlike anything we've ever seen in our entire history. Americans now owe a total of $56 trillion. Without the Fed's money-printing, it's unlikely we could afford even the interest on these existing debts… much less the $1.5 trillion or more in debt you continue to rack up year after year by promising benefits we haven't earned.

Sooner or later, our foreign creditors are going to decide our money-printing amounts to a default, and they will stop buying our bonds. On that day, everyone who trusts you, everyone who believes in your lies, will be wiped out.

But that won't be as many people as you expect.

Almost every American knows in his heart what made this country great for the 200 years between 1776 and 1976. It wasn't the lies of our presidents. It wasn't our ability to print money and rip off our Chinese creditors. It wasn't the modern crybaby mentality of our school system or our unions. It wasn't the baby boomer's dream of a 40-year retirement with free prescription drugs. And it sure as hell wasn't a suave, made-for-TV version of Karl Marx promising everything to everyone, but with no way to pay for it.

No. What built America was her people's unwavering faith that they were free to enjoy the rewards of their accomplishments.

As our country tumbles into bankruptcy and crisis, the people are going to want their prosperity back, Mr. President. And deep down, they all know… even your most fervent supporters know… you don't have the goods. You don't have the foggiest idea of how to deliver prosperity to America because, really, you don't know anything of what America is all about.

Regards,

Porter Stansberry

Poverty Immigrating to America’s Welfare State

The article does not say this but our current unemployment problem is in the segment of the population with less than a highschool education. Our immigration policies only make it worse. As an example, PhD's  have an unemployment rate of 2.5% which indicates a shortage. Over half the PhD's granted in the United States go to foreigners and it is near impossible for them to get a green card to stay here. Go figure. 

Welfare spending is projected to skyrocket over the next 10 years, costing taxpayers $10.3 trillion and driving the United States toward bankruptcy.  To make matters worse,  a new report shows that the United States is seeing large percentage of its immigrant population exacting a costly toll on the welfare roles. According to Steven A. Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies:

In 2009 (based on data collected in 2010), 57 percent of households headed by an immigrant (legal and illegal) with children (under 18) used at least one welfare program, compared to 39 percent for native households with children.

Camarota also notes that low education among immigrant-headed households is part of the problem:

Of households headed by an immigrant who has not graduated high school, 80 percent access the welfare system, compared to 25 percent for those headed by an immigrant who has at least a bachelor’s degree.

With means-tested welfare spending approaching $1 trillion per year and 15 percent ($100 billion per year) of total spending going to households headed by immigrants with high school degrees or less, limiting low-skill immigration is one way to tackle the problem. The Heritage Foundation’s Katherine Bradley and Robert Rector write:

Government policy should limit future immigration to those who will be net fiscal contributors, paying more in taxes than they receive in benefits. The legal immigration system should not encourage immigration of low-skill immigrants who would increase poverty in the nation and impose vast new costs on already overburdened taxpayers.

In addition, the government should not provide amnesty or “earned citizenship” to illegal immigrants, which would provide illegal immigrants with full access to the U.S. welfare system. Of the 11 million to 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S., at least 50 percent lack a high school degree. Giving this population amnesty and access to welfare would lead to a staggering increase in future welfare costs.

Growth in welfare spending is already on an untenable path;  importing poverty, failing to reform the system, and allowing for the unlimited growth of welfare entitlements is a recipe for failure.

Obama's classmate speaks out.

This needs to be emailed to everyone in the USA . BTW, FWIW, Snopes says, in substance, the following is correct; some minor facts wrong.   OBAMA'S COLLEGE CLASSMATE SPEAKS OUT  By Wayne Allyn Root, June 6th, 2010   Barack Hussien Obama is no fool.  He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.   Barack Hussien Obama was my college classmate (Columbia University, class of '83). He is a devout Muslim; do not be fooled. Look at his Czars...anti-business..anti- american. As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Barack Hussein Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University. They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands.   Add up the clues below.    Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government.   Why not?   They have no responsibility to pay for it.   Universal health care... The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government.  Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?   Cap and trade...  Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democrat Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around."   Make Puerto Rico a state. Why?    Who's asking for a 51st state? Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression?  Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Barack Hussein Obama's plan all along.  His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.   Legalize 12 million illegal Mexican immigrants... Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America. But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security .   Stimulus and bailouts...   Where did all that money go?  It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions).  A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues).   All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America. The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful. Their ends justify their means.   Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute their income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition.   With the acts outlined above, Barack Hussien Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.   Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme -- all devised by my Columbia University college classmate Barack Hussien Obama using the Cloward and Piven Plan.   True per snopes! http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/overwhelm.asp
