Shera, most people eat meat, fish, chicken and turkey.       Your point?      

S A, c lawre and Donna H, all of you are welcome to your personal opinions regarding Sarah Palin.   However, you cannot dispute the facts especially as it relates to the differences in what both parties believe to be right for America.   The core differences between these two parties is what divides our country.   Our independents are clearly supporting republican values.

To S A, anyone who is well versed in history knows that George W. Bush cannot take the entire blame for the mess that was handed to Barack Obama.   It goes way back to Jimmy Carter and his affirmative action belief that every minority should own a home.   He went to the banks and made it happen.   Bill Clinton enhanced it and John McCain tried to stop it but the democratic congress wasn’t buying the fact that the economy was in serious trouble due to SUBPRIME LOANS.   The war in Iraq is what George W. Bush is blamed for, a war, by the way, that Barack Obama acknowledged as having been a necessary war and made a difference in the lives of the Iraqi people.   So, if you have a problem with the Iraq war, take your issues to Barack Obama.

To c lawre, your comments emotional and cananot be supported.   Many people in this country believe in hunting animals.   In fact, killing animals for food started long before we were born.    People were divided on this topic of killing animals long before Sarah Palin came into the picture.

And, to Donna H, both you and c lawre are judging Sarah Palin’s book without reading it so you’ve placed yourself in a position of not being credible to discussing it’s contents.

What this country knows now is that Barack Obama hasn’t grown into t presidential material  after one year.  He is still campaigning instead of leading and making the tough decisions in Afghanistan.   I’ve tried to make a list of what he has accomplished in his first year and it’s difficult.   All I can come up with are failed attempts to turn our economy around and create the jobs that are desperately needed in our country.   Nothing he has done so far has worked and he will soon be telling the American people that we need another stimulus because the first one didn’t work.   Obama and his administration are clearly experimenting with our hard earned tax dollars and the American people are not happy with this.     The price tag of $15 trillion and pulsing in his first year in office and nothing to show for it is remarkable.

Obama is creating the perfect storm for a republican to win in 2012.  Today, I read where another state will go red…..Iowa.    New Jersey and Virginia elected republican governors….and the trend suggests that more will follow.   

Obama was too inexperienced to be POTUS.   It shows.   It will cost him re-election and open the door to a moderate republican leader.    

Frannie Em, I thought you might find this information interesting.    

Stimulus Spent Over $617k in Non-Existent Missouri District 2009 November 16 by DanaLoesch

Oh, and saved a whopping total of five, count ‘em, F-I-V-E  jobs:

Looky at the bottom.

Even if this were some sort of mistake and the congressional district numbered incorrectly, this means that $617,848 was spent on only five jobs. That’s almost as much as was spent in the 4th district, where over 12,000 jobs were “saved.” A hefty $254,822 was spent on absolutely zero jobs being saved.

What on earth kind of fuzzy math is this? Where is this money going?

You’ll find the chart here:

Sarah Palin presented herself well on Oprah’s show yesterday.   She was straightforward and honest about herself and her experiences.   Oprah, after endorsing Barack Obama last year, has experienced a drop in her ratings so having Palin on was definitely a shot in the arm for her.

After a year of Obama as President, the enormous debt he has brought this country and his failed attempts at bringing socialism to our great country, I don’t believe Sarah Palin would’ve be any worse as President.  In fact, in many ways I believe she would’ve been better.   She believes in our small businesses, small government and balancing a budget.   Although we have no way of knowing how well she would’ve been this year what we do know is that she would not have been any worse than our sitting far left leaning president.

I’m beginning to understand the fear of the democrats when Sarah Palin’s name is mentioned.   Fear is demonstrated in many ways.   In her case, this fear is demonstrated through hate, ridicule and jokes.   However, that in itself is not unusual but what is unusual is her fierce determination and love for her country.   When McCain called her a maverick he hit the nail on the head.   She is a very different kind of politician and would bring something new and refreshing to the White House.

What we do know about Sarah Palin is that you won’t find radical affiliations in her background.    You won’t find drug use or sealed records about her education.   You will find a determined young woman who kept plugging away to get her education and a strong desire to make a difference in the lives of the American people.   She wouldn’t bring an ivy league education to the White House and we all know now that an ivy league education doesn’t necessarily  translate into knowing the best course of action or even basic economics.   We’ve all seen how that hasn’t worked out for our country.     She will bring common sense and a love for her country and no apologies to the world for America.    She is, in essence, a direct opposite of Obama….the anti-Obama.  That will appeal to the majority of Americans as Obama’s ratings continue to decline.    Obama has created a serious trust issue in his first year in office because he campaigned one way and has led our country in a much different direction.   

No one really knows if she will run in 2012.    No one knows who else the republican party will groom to run in 2012.   But this we do know….and that is Obama is creating "the perfect storm" for a republican to win in 2012.  

  

S J, thanks for posting this valuable information.   What this says to me is if the "Universal" healthcare bill passes and becomes an economic burden this administration would cut back on the healthcare to keep costs down.

phyllis, I believe the last paragraph I posted sums it up.   We really have no idea how Obama is doing in foreign relations because nothing has changed thus far.   As these other countries look at what Obama has done to our country in just one year I cannot think for a second that they hold him in high regard.    phyllis, Obama hasn’t accomplished one thing that is good for Americans.   We aren’t the only country that recognizes that.

True, the problem with Obama,  in my personal opinion, is  that he cares more about himself, his socialist path for our country and completing his agenda to that end that he hasn’t room in his heart for strong convictions and commitments.   In other words, he wasn’t raised with the loyalty to America.   He was raised to believe that America was all wrong.   He was raised believing in the Muslim religion.   He was mentored by Davies, Ayers and Al Mansour.   Who are these people?   They are radical communist believing communists.   It makes sense to me that he would not hold Israel in high esteem.

Obama is scary.

Looks like Bill Clinton has been called to Jerusalem to clean up after Obama and Hillary….honestly….

"Bill Clinton is in Jerusalem trying to clean up behind President Obama and Hillary, whose strident anti-settlement policy has blown up in their face. Clinton’s comments are significant only because they show what a shambles the administration’s Middle East policy has become. Obama and his Secretary of State have managed to alienate the Israeli government by virtue of their initial hard line on settlements, and to place the leader of the Palestinian Authority in an untenable position by virtue of their retreat from that initial hard line. So now, it is left to an ex-president to play statesman and try to patch things up.

As to Clinton’s comments themselves, they are largely inane. To the Palestinians, Clinton argued that, although America wanted Israel to freeze settlement activity, Israel’s refusal to comply should not stop the two sides from talking. But the Palestinians depend on the U.S. to beat up the Israelis until they make concessions; this is their understanding of the "peace process." The fact that, this time, the Israelis were able to beat up Obama until he changed his position has persuaded the Palestinians that the "peace process" isn’t proceeding to their satisfaction. Thus, they are acting reasonably in refusing to participate. Indeed, the PA would lose all credibility if it shrugged its shoulders at Obama’s defeat on the settlement issue, as Clinton is urging it to do.

Clinton also told the Palestinians that by refusing to talk with Israel, they risk irking the international community, which might then blame them for the stalled peace process. But the international community is never irked by the Palestinians for long. And it’s not in the international community’s DNA to blame the Palestinians for problems with the "peace process." If you’re the "victim," you’re the victim for all purposes.

To the Israelis, Clinton warned that It is only a matter of time before Hamas is capable of putting a GPS system on the rockets it continues to launch from Gaza against Israel’s southern border. Given this "trajectory of technology," Clinton said that Israel needs to make peace and has the "partners" it needs to get this done. But Hamas is not one of those partners, and it’s the group that may soon be putting the GPS system on the rockets.

Clinton also instructed the Israelis "not [to] think that President Obama is your enemy." He explained that "no American president can serve in good conscience and not be committed to the security of Israel." But an American president might well believe, in good conscience or not, that Israel should "take risks for peace." And Israelis might reasonably conclude that such a president is not sufficiently committed to the security of Israel, especially if they believe that there is no peace to be had."

There’s more here….

Congratulations ladies….you were the funniest by far!!

Really?  In the left or right side of my nose?

S J, and here’s another one of Obama’s blunders.   You just can’t make this stuff up….

He has 2.6 million followers.
ReadWriteWeb reported:

Barack Obama spoke to a group of Chinese students tonight at a town hall in Shanghai. The meeting was streamed live, worldwide on the Whitehouse website and on the Whitehouse’s Facebook page. He was asked a limited number of questions by the audience and one was about Twitter, which has been blocked in China since July.

Got that? The President went to China, was asked about Twitter and it was streamed live on his Facebook page. How the world has changed.

Obama was asked by a student, “Do you know about the great firewall and should we be able to use Twitter?” His reply: “I have never used Twitter but I’m an advocate of technology and not restricting internet access.” (via Breaking News Online)

He’s never used Twitter! Shocking, given that his account with 2.6 million followers has even been “verified” by Twitter headquarters! (Update: As a reader points out in comments below, the Twitter website says that verification is given to accounts representing organizations and public figures, but doesn’t verify who’s actually Tweeting the Twittle.)

 He has 2.6 million followers.

Thanks, S J, he’s a class act isn’t he?

Leigh, it’s just unbelievable that Obama’s handpicked czars have such seedy backgrounds.   Chicago really does occupy the White House!  

Green Tears, a "gift from God?"   LOL!   I vote to call him "Stang" from now on….

Leigh get a load of this….Taxes 101 by Rahm Emanuel….Obama has surrounded himself with some doozies!

Property Taxes - interesting… Can We All Do This?                       
                                                                           
"Another good reason why Obama and the democrats don’t mind raising taxes. 
They don’t pay them to begin with!                                        
Why doesn’t Rahm Emanuel pay property taxes???                            
  (Embedded image moved to file: pic11635.jpg)                             
                                                                           
  According to the Cook County Assessor’s website, the Chicago home of     
  four-term Democrat Congressman and new White House Chief of Staff, Rahm  
  Emanuel, DOESN’T EXIST.                                                  
   While the address of 4228 North Hermitage is listed as Emanuel’s        
  residence on the Illinois State Board of Elections’ website, there seems 
  to be no public record of Emanuel ever paying property taxes on this     
  home..                                                                   
  The Cook County Assessor’s and Cook County Treasurer’s online records    
  indicate that Emanuel’s Chicago neighbors pay between $3,500 and $7,000  
  annually.                                                                
  However,  Illinois Review has been unable to locate any evidence that the
  former Clinton advisor and investment banker is paying his share of Cook 
  County ‘s notoriously high REAL ESTATE tax burden!                       
  (Embedded image moved to file: pic10067.jpg)                             
                                                                           
  Why wouldn’t 4228 North Hermitage property owners,  Rahm Emanuel and wife
  Amy Rule,  pay property taxes?                                           
  One reason may be because Emanuel and Rule declared their 4228 North     
  Hermitage home as the office location                                    
  for their personal non-profit foundation called the "Rahm Emanuel and Amy
  Rule Charitable Foundation."                                             
  As the "non-profit foundation’s" headquarters, their home IS exempt from 
  paying property taxes???!                                                
  Get a load of this …                                                 
  (Embedded image moved to file: pic22848.jpg)                             
                                                                           
   In January 2007, " USA Today" reported on Emanuel’s foundation:         
                                                                           
  The "Rahm Emanuel and Amy Rule Charitable Trust" was formed in 2002, when
  the Chicago lawmaker was first elected."
