If you are going to act like "sheep"le, You will have to look like "sheep"le!

150 doctors (useful idiots) showed up for the Obama "dilusional photo-op" in the Rose Garden at the White House. Same stuff, different day! The Obama "healthcare" ruse was meant to counter (visibly) the true majority of Physicians that oppose the bill in true "Alinsky" style just the same as when the SEIU packed townhall meetings the Democrats scheduled during the Congressional Recess to try (in vain) to show that someone really wants this legislation (other than the radical fringe left).


Some of the 150 no-so-useful idiots did not bring their "white lab coats" as instructed and delayed the Press briefing until a staffer rustled up enough coats for the photo. This is the best Obama could do to get a mere 150 in the garden to counter the 45% of all physicians who are threatening to retire, shut down their private practices or plainly just quit if the socialists get their dream.

Speaking of dream, this is what the photo actually looked like -- Obama counting "sheep"ple in his dream repleat with all the white coats. Sorry, that was baaaaad!

Obamaholics are in the “denial” phase of their addiction, “Obama confronts waning political capital!” – ABC news

In an article fresh off the printing press, Rick Klein, ABC News’ Senior Political Reporter tries to explain Obamas’ recent failures and makes it clear that he himself needs a serious “intervention”!

He writes:

“This is a time where the president needs to be spending his capital -- in the halls of Congress, and on the world stage. But when he talks, who is listening? (And does the president lose options himself the longer he chooses to keep listening?)

Testing time: "A number of factors have combined to strip him of the camouflage that he once enjoyed when it comes to health-care policy," David Broder writes in his Sunday Washington Post column. "His main leverage point is the realization among nearly all Democrats that nothing would be as costly to them, in their individual 2010 races, as the failure of this Congress, with its heavy Democratic majorities, to pass a substantive health-reform bill. That may be enough in the end for Obama to succeed. But the task of getting there will really test him -- and expose his core values."

Comment:

It appears that Klein IS aware that the “Obamacare” plan is truly Obama’s “Waterloo” but the premise of David Broder that the most costly political ramifications of the upcoming 2010 races are if the Democrats fail to deliver the bill is fantasy. Additionally, Obama has already exposed his “core values” which is why the Republicans and the majority of Americans reject him and the Democrats bill.

He writes:

“Susan Milligan reports in The Boston Globe. "He must also make difficult decisions on whether to increase troop strength and commit America to a larger, longer mission in Afghanistan. And the economy, while apparently on the road to recovery, is still not producing new jobs and continues to generate anxiety around the country."
Rep. Chris Van Hollen: "I do believe that if we are not successful in passing health care reform, it will make it much more difficult to enact other major initiatives," said Van Hollen, D-Md., the DCCC chairman.

Comment:

Denial and reality collide here. The economy is not on the road to recovery by any stretch of the imagination but the reality of mounting job losses is glossed over by changing the wording to “is still not producing new jobs” is good enough to show Obama’s pledge of saving or creating 3.5 million jobs by passing the stimulus package last year is an utter failure. Remember Biden and his comment after the election that Obama may get 30% of things wrong, time to move that percentage upward. Finally, Rep. Chris Van Hollen’s comment is true except for one major reality – all of the “major initiatives” he is speaking about are not tied to the health care bill success, they are all resoundingly being rejected along with the health care bill.

He writes:

“The White House is using its Monday to re-set the focus of the debate on health care -- again.

At 11:10 am ET in the Rose Garden, "the President will welcome doctors from across the country to an event in the Rose Garden, where he will deliver remarks on the need for health insurance reform this year." (They're coming from every state, which means plenty of local-media pick-up.)

(And Organizing for America wants letters from doctors -- and others -- to make the case: "You don't have to be a doctor or an expert to write an effective letter -- you just have to have an opinion or a personal story to share. And these letters are short, usually just a paragraph or two, but they can have a huge impact because it shows your representatives and the media what local folks are thinking in the most public way possible.")

Comment:

Here, Klein is highlighting the failure of Obama to deliver Health Care multiple times with the Presidents’ “Re-set the focus” White House Rose Garden astro turf event. The first question that comes to mind when the Democrats trot out a doctor at an “astro turf” event is – “are they really doctors?” I say this for two reasons: First, during a Democrat town hall meeting a fake doctor stood to praise the need for the bill only to find out it was not a doctor but an Obama campaign worker. Second, the recent news about just how much the rank and file doctor’s support this bill is that if passed, 45% of them would consider quitting the profession.

http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/news/news/...s-hr-3200.shtml

The reason Obama needs to shuttle in doctors is because they reject the bill in spite of their own AMA’s endorsement of it. This is the typical ploy of Obama and his community organizing days at ACORN by organizing an astro turf photo op to give the impression of support where there is no support. The whole re-set the focus event and “bring a doctors note” smacks of a juveniles attempt to get out of class but the main reason for this fake doctor support is not even mentioned in this article. The reason is to give Democrats that are up for reelection in 2010 political cover of fake support to counter the 2.25 million (and counting) pink slips that real Americans have sent their leaders in the past 10 days. The true grassroots pink slip campaign has been so successful that it has completely tapped out the national supply of 8.5” X 11” pink paper.

The request sent out from “Organize for America” is proof positive of the “losing the argument, er argument!” This organization was created by the DNC and is closely tied to the Obama White house and saw their first ground incursion during Obamas’ budget battle when the DNC sent their OFA shock troops door to door to drum up support.

Obama has hitched his wagon to community organizers and attempts to use this weapon to pass his socialist agenda. The biggest problem he will face in utilizing this astro turf arrow from his quiver is the controversy and outrage over ACORN and their Democrat allies in the Senate, Congress and yes, the White House.

Once again, the democrats are in denial as the President lamely pronounced that passing the health care bill is directly tied to increasing jobs and the economy is at a time when the latest polls show that Americans top concerns are not the economy any more, it is corruption (which is directly tied to ACORN, Democrats and Community Organizers in General).

2nd Amendment is the ONLY “homeland security”, Court cases forcing the issue to solidify constitution!

Liberals have been on the offensive for years in their attempt to wrestle our personal firearms from our hands. The level of the liberal hatred for the 2nd Amendment is a “clear and present danger” to the sovereignty of our country as the federal government has failed time and time again to protect our citizens from harm through liberal ordinances at every level of our country. The “no gun zones” at our university campuses and “city handgun bans” in our nations’ capital as well as Chicago are just a few examples of the disregard to the fabric and spirit of our constitution.

The anti-gun lobby failed in their attempts in the City of San Francisco to enact these dangerous ordinances and were thwarted only when the NRA, in court, to overturned them.

This fight has been waged in every corner of this nation and with the recent election of Obama it is imperative that the courts find, once and for all, that the 2nd amendment truly means that our citizens have the right “to bear arms”.

In the DC v. Heller case, pro gun and pro 2nd amendment advocates have won an important first step in this solidification. Yet the Supreme Court has not definitively ruled to end the matter to the satisfaction of those who insist on their 2nd amendment rights.

On October 1, 2009 the State of Montana passed legislation that was meant to bring about the definitive court battle and pits the might and power by the Federal Government to step aside in the matter. The legislation intent:

“AN ACT EXEMPTING FROM FEDERAL REGULATION UNDER THE COMMERCE CLAUSE OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES A FIREARM, A FIREARM ACCESSORY, OR AMMUNITION MANUFACTURED AND RETAINED IN MONTANA; AND PROVIDING AN APPLICABILITY DATE.”

The legislation is referred to as the “Firearms Freedom Act” and is best described by WND as follows:

“The law provides guns and ammo made, sold and used in Montana would not require any federal forms; silencers made and sold in Montana would be fully legal and not registered; and there would be no firearm registration, serial numbers, criminal records check, waiting periods or paperwork required.”

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=111759

Since Montana, Tennessee has passed similar legislation and the following States are introducing legislation:

Alaska, Michigan, South Carolina, Texas, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Minnesota and Florida.

In addition, the following states are intending to introduce FFA legislation:

Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Idaho and Washington State.

Again, according to WND “David Codrea, a Gun Rights Examiner writer, noted the federal government already has started attacking the move.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, he wrote, previously had written to Federal Firearms Licensees, warning that they could be prosecuted for following the state laws in Montana and Tennessee.”

In a recent development, the US Supreme Court has docketed the “Chicago handgun ban” case known as McDonald v. Chicago. Per WND the case “challenges a 7th Circuit court ruling that said the Second Amendment applies only to federal regulation of an individual's right to guns and not in cases of restrictions by states and municipalities like Chicago and Oak Park, Ill.”

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=111521

Finally, this battle cry or “call to arms” has accelerated because of the Obama administration position that “advocated for a treaty that would require a federal license for hunters to reload their ammunition, has expressed a desire to ban "assault" weapons, has seen a plan to require handgun owners to submit to mental health evaluations and sparked a rush on ammunition purchases with his history of anti-gun positions.”

What has Obama accomplished?, Other than blaming the Bush Whitehouse – still!

Stimulus:
Obama promised a “quick turnaround” in the economy if Congress passed his bill. Obama claimed that if we did nothing, then unemployment would run up to 8.5%. Obama claimed if we passed his bill, then 7% unemployment and that the cash infusion would arrest the economic fall.

What we have now realized is that unemployment has hit 9.8% and Joe Biden admitting that “we all got it wrong” when assessing the true nature of the economic mess. Problem is that we he said we all got it wrong he can only mean the Democrats because the entire Republican party voted no (except for Arlen Specter who fled to the Democrat ranks shortly thereafter and the two Maine Senators who should be labeled Democrats anyway).

Bailouts:
The bank bailouts were intended, per Obama, to infuse those banks and thrifts with toxic waste on their balance sheets to free up credit and allow those who are nearing or in foreclosure to get relief.

What we have now realized is that those who banks took the money and continued to freeze credit and those who “reworked their mortgages” are still defaulting under the new terms (just 60 after doing so) and are again nearing foreclosure.

The auto bailout of GM and Chrystler were done because Obama, using his favorite phrase, were too big to fail. The American public overwhelming cried NO, yet Congress and the President did so anyway. Then after the big cash infusion we were treated to the “cash for clunkers” program (which was very successful).

What we have now realized is that the cash for clunkers program participants (dealers) are still awaiting reimbursement from the feds. The program was also rife with corruption as Hummers and large pickups were being sold through the program. The latest “retail consumer confidence report for August” was released that proclaimed a surge in consumer confidence (which was a direct result of the program) so the surge cannot be accurately called “confidence” as the program was temporary and has since sunset.

The period after the sunset shows that the American consumers have taken out their anger on the two giant automakers that took taxpayer money as GM reported their “same store sales over last year” (September) are down 45% (which was worse than they were reporting leading up to the proposed bankruptcy) and Chrysler “same store sales over last year” (September) are down 42%. Ford, which decided to “go it alone” and not seek taxpayer money saw their “same store sales over last year” (September) was only down 5%.

Finally, when is the MSM going to start hammering the failed economic policies that Obama has steered us into as they did during good economic times under Bush?

Graduates of Columbia Univ, Harvard, etc., plan to murder 25 million people in US

The man who wrote Barrack Obama's book and introduced him to the world of politics, from his home in Chicago as well as his professor at Occidental College planned the murders of 25 million Americans.

Fool me once, shame on you!, Fool me twice, shame on me!

While the Midas President was off to Copenhagen to touch the International Olympic Committee with his “rock star status” and his fashionista wife giving her impassioned “my father had MS” speech another one of those pesky unemployment reports came out. This is another area that Mr. Mida’s touched in early February telling the rubes that we needed to act quickly in order to pass the “not so Stimulus bill” in order to curtail the unemployment figures to a mere 7% (if passed) or we would face 8.5% if we do nothing.

The report that was just released while the Obama’s were enduring great personal sacrifices traveling abroad (per Michelle Obama) the national unemployment rate was topping 9.8%.

Getting back to the “Midas” touch Obama assured the American workers that the stimulus would in fact create or save 3.5 million jobs, yet since this proclamation we have seen an average of 500,000 jobs per month decline.

Mr. Midas has moved on to the “Health Care” crisis (after all a crisis is too good to waste) and has told us the system is broke and millions will die as a result if we do not pass this reform bill. The American public is now wary of Mr. Midas. We, the American public, like our health care just as it is thank you Mr. Midas. In fact, during the last decade up to and including today it is the only sector of our economy that is showing a continued growth in jobs and profitability so we are asking ourselves just where the “crisis” is?

Shifting his “midas” touch, Obama is now attempting to link the passage of his “healthcare bill” to creating new jobs. Say what?

http://townhall.com/news/politics-election...h_care_proposal

According to the above article:
“If aspiring entrepreneurs believe they can stay insured while switching jobs, Obama said, they will start new businesses and hire workers.
“Obama said he has met people "who've got a good idea and the expertise and determination to build it into a thriving business. But many can't take that leap because they can't afford to lose the health insurance they have at their current job."
Small businesses create many of the nation's jobs, Obama said, and some have the potential to become big companies.”

The first "fatal flaw" to this reasoning is an academic one as more people are losing their jobs coupled with the "downsizing" of major companies -- those who have jobs are HOLDING ONTO THEM and have little or no chance of, or thinking about, switching jobs in this economy!

So let us take a look at some big companies that Mr. Midas indicates have the potential to become. The lists of companies I have listed below have reported to the “financial street” the number of stores that have closed and will close in fiscal year 2009:
Rite Aid – 117
Jo-Anne Fabrics – 30
Ritz Cameras – 300
Gottschalks (Department Stores) – 58
Snyders Drugs – 17
Chico’s – 25
New York & Co. – 50
Filene’s Basement – 11
Bruno’s – 10
Jimmy’z – 11
ZGallerie – 25
Bassett Furniture – 8-10
Sam’s Club (Canada) – 6
Gap – 100
Bealls – 12
Kira Plastinina – 12
Claires – 119
Famous Footware – 30-35
S&K Famous Brands – 30
Oneida – 20
World Market – 26
Sweetbay Supermarkets – 8
Goody’s Family Clothing – 282
Cub Foods - 50
Yankee Candle – 28
Calvin Klein, Van Heusen, Izod – 175
Iredesse (Tiffany’s) – 16
Sportsman Wearhouse – 23
Ruby Tuesday – 70
American Greetings – 60
Circuit City – Entire chain
Home Depot Expo Design Centers – 34
Macy’s – 11
Ann Taylor – 163
Starbucks – 600
Pier 1 Imports – 60
Chrysler – 1 in 4 nationwide
General Motors – 1000
Boaters World – 129
Ruehl Stores – 29
Advance America Advance Cash Centers – 60
Jones Apparel – 225
J Jill - 75
Zales – 191
Samsonite – 85
Kmart – 22
Sears – 6
PacSun – 40
Bank of America – 610
Smith & Hawken – 56
Blockbuster Video – 810-960
Payless Shoe Source – 17

The total retailer stores that are shuttering in 2009 are 6109! When you think about a single small retailer footprint (square foot) like starbucks, who averages are around 700sf per store, they employ roughly 5-6 store level employees. When you look at an “Anchor” store like Macy’s, Rite Aid, General Motors, etc., the number of store level employees can reach upward of 100.

Note: The list is only a sampling of “national or regional” retailers who have made announcements so the number of retailers who are “downsizing” is potentially much larger.

The job losses that result in a store closing do not stop at the store level. For instance, using Starbucks as the example again, they announced over 600 stores to close and at the corporate level there will be support staff (accounting, payroll, security, regional sales managers, etc) that will also lose their jobs as the company’s stores regional maps change to reflect the closings. Regional sales managers at national retailers have an average of 10-15 stores that they are directly responsible for, so when starbucks announces 600 stores closings, the net result of regional sales manager job losses are roughly 60. Then, if you lose 60 regional sales managers, then you will also lose those Regional Vice Presidents that supervise them, etc, etc.

Like the title of this article is “Fool me once, shame on you” indicates, we will not be fooled by the shifting arguments of Mr. Midas when the previous arguments failed to advance his job killing plans for us all.

Senators and Congressmen receiving their "pink slips", over 2 million sent to each in just 7 days

Individuals, more than 2 million have spent the time and money to fed-x each and every member of the Senate and Congress pink slips that tell them if they vote yes on the following, they will lose their jobs:

government health care

cap and trade

"hate crimes"

any more spending

The grassroots effort has a stated goal of 5 million, but at this point the trend will greatly surpass that. How is that for a stimulus achievement!

Tea party protests, 9/12 march on DC and now this. Obama obviously ducked out of DC to say he did not see the masses, but our other politicians that are trying to move the four items forward cannot escape their "inboxes".
