Driving through President Obama’s South Side

Driving through President Obama’s South Side.

I was driving through Chicago’s notorious south side recently, looking at the devastation and wondering, “ Where’s the Hope?” The statistical chances of violent death for a young black man are higher for south side young men then they are for young black men in combat in Iraq. These are the people who actually believe that Obama can change things for their good.

Let’s look at the failed Chicago schools. Everybody who can, including the Obama’s, William Airs, and every Alderman and Congressman and Assemblyman sends their children to private school. That’s because the public schools are failing, dangerous, subpar academically and melting pots for crime and functional illiteracy. Yet, President Obama appointed the head of this disgrace of a school district to the United States Department of Education.  That makes me hopeful.

Sadly, the south side of Chicago is no better off because of Barrack Obama then it was before he got there. Since he’s been in Chicago, the crime is worse on the south side, there’s fewer jobs, the projects are closing down and illiteracy, illegitimate births and disease have sky rocked amongst the south side youth. Where’s the hope in that?

I pray that President Obama can’t reproduce the great success he’s had on the south side elsewhere.

Republican Senators - Masters of Lameness

Republican Senators - Masters of Lameness

Some lame Republican United States Senators are whining about becoming a Permanente fixture of losers. A minority party in perpetuity.

My response is thus-if you don’t like being a conservative go join the democrats.

Gentlemen, get a spine that’s not made out of Jell-O. You’re acting like General Macarthur when he abandoned his troops in the Philippines in 1942. If you have no stomach for war, go home. If you don’t want to win, go home. If you can’t take a fight, run away like Macarthur did.

General Macarthur snuck away in the middle of the night, leaving his troops to face untold horrors, alone. He ran so he could live in pretty white mansions, drinking cocktails and dining on super fine food while his men marched a death march without him; then when the ground troops secured everything he had the testicles to stroll ashore and say;” I have returned.”

If you don’t want to fight, go home.

If you’re too old, or too frightened, or too lame, go home

Republicans show a little backbone.

Republicans show a little backbone

Was it me or did those arthritic elephants in the elephant party stiffen their back bone and vote no on the bailout in the House of Representatives?

What is this? Could it be that there might be an intact bone in that gelatinous mass the Republicans call their spinal column?

I read the bail out bill; I’m frightened.

I read the bail out bill; I’m frightened.

The best and brightest have brought us disaster.

I still find it amazing how in this world with all of its data mining, data analysis, and data forecasting-modeling the banking system and Wall Street tanked. Really, really supposedly smart and formerly really, really rich people have lost trillions of dollars of wealth in the last months.

People and institutions have lost confidence in financial promises and over inflated commitments.

Yet, the bail out bill-all nearly seven hundred pages of it-is frightening. There has been no thought to its effectiveness. It reads like every mad liberal got together in a room and put every imagined pork barrel fantasy on paper and got the democrat majority in congress to suspend the laws of good sense in order to try to get the people to believe in and economy that failed.

The commitments and promises in the bail out bill will not save the American economy.

Essentially, the bail out bill admits that the U.S. government is a sub, sub prime borrower; then gives them another line of credit that they can not afford and will never be able to repay on the hope that they will somehow turn their mess around.

I have no confidence in the bail out bill. Unfounded promises and undeserved confidence are no longer acceptable to me.

Perhaps it’s a sign of my age but I have confidence in people and institutions that do what they say; say what they do; and that keep their promises. The president and congress of the United States no longer fit in that category.

No confidence in the President or Congress.

No confidence in the President or Congress.

I have no confidence in the new President of the United States and no confidence in the Congress.

The Republican leadership has lain down in submission and is whining like a wounded puppy.

Years ago I worked in a special investigations unit. I helped put many people in jail who committed far less serious crimes then the new Treasury Secretary did. Those folks are still feeling and dealing with the consequences of their crimes; yet Tim Geitner gets confirmed as head of the IRS with congress having the full knowledge of what he did. The rich and powerful and liberal seem to get an exemption from criminal activity.

I have no confidence in the Republican Party. I have every confidence that the Democrat Party is utterly depraved.

I have lost confidence in the Capitalist system. Today’s big market capitalist seem to be utterly clueless and without a speck of wisdom. When the best and brightest people from the best and brightest business schools drive the economy into ruin, I wonder if they really ever were the best and brightest.

Today’s big business people are looking more like Paris Hilton then MBA graduates from the Ivy league. Perhaps we should rename the Ivy League the Paris Hilton League.

Will Detroit build an American Trabant just for Obama?

Will Detroit build an American Trabant just for Obama?

President Obama wants to regulate Detroit into making cars that sell. He’s eyeing the former East German Trabant and soviet Lada as blueprints for success. For those of you who don’t remember the Trabant and Lada were the pinnacle of Soviet socialist automotive design and success.

Today, people are waging bidding wars at auctions to snap up the highly prized Trabants and Ladas in the hopes of making fortunes by restoring and customizing them.

Goodbye Cadillac, hello Lada. President Obama is hoping they will name the newest model the Mobamamobile.

Will Obama or Al-Qaida kill more innocent in four years?

Will Obama or Al-Qaida kill more innocent in four years?

That answer is simple.

With the stroke of a pen, President Obama doomed millions of unborn children to horrid deaths for at least the next four years. The U.S tax payer will finance those deaths.

These children will die because a fresh flood of American dollars will build and operate an international system of death clinics to murder the young around the world.

The blood of the innocent will be upon the hands of President Obama, the taste of their snuffed out life flowing from the fangs of the Devils demons and vampires in congress and the new administration.

Innocent blood calls out from the grave for justice.

How does it feel, President Obama, to sign the death warrant for millions of babies? This is change I don’t believe in.

The blood of these children will also be on the hands of those Christians who voted for Obama and the other death camp advocates in the democrat and republican parties.

Republicans roll over and play dead.

Republicans roll over and play dead.

The Republicans in congress are whelping like beaten puppies.

I’ve always been a firm believer in the notion that you shouldn’t yolk yourself with folks or ideas you don’t believe in; why call yourself a Christian or Buddhist if you don’t believe in the foundations of Christianity or Buddhism?

I’m not longer sure what Republicans believe in anymore. Republican leaders have lost their fight, their vision and their way.

The gelatinous, spineless, men and women who call themselves leaders in the supposedly conservative party should beware. I’m ready to bolt the shrinking elephants pen. How do you support a foundationless movement?

Good by George Bush.

Good by George Bush.

I will miss you.

 I wish you had been more honest about your real relationship with Jesus and didn’t keep your feelings about the bible hidden for all these years.

Thank you for keeping the bad guys at bay for all these years. Thank you for not letting an avalanche of abortion overtake the federal government.

I wish you had been a fiscal conservative.

I regret you used Karl Rove. He is a snake and in the end hurt you. He used all of us.

I wish you had been as good at defending yourself as you were at defending the nation.

I hope you enjoy your retirement.

I hope you get to enjoy many happy grandchildren.

Michelle Obama’s weaknesses

Michelle Obama’s weaknesses

It’s sad, but true, Michelle Obama is now a big fat target.  The wolves and sooner or later the comics will notice that she isn’t the most attractive woman in the world, has a big butt, struggles with humility and isn’t terribly patriotic.

She is more then likely to stick the big foot and most of that huge leg in that big fat mouth she has. Middle America isn’t likely to take being lectured by an angry mad black woman well.

My question will be: “How long until she gets so mad that she explodes upon the media?” When she blows, she’ll blow like Krakatoa. Let’s hope she doesn’t spew such volcanic ash around the world that a new ice age begins.

Will Obama ever move back to Chicago?

Will Obama ever move back to Chicago?

Probably not.

You see, the big lights and big money of New York will call him after his presidency. He never really was a native Illinois son; just somebody passing through.

Many people are flying high today. They’re intoxicated with Obama fever. Men and women will cry tears of joy today. Bush is gone and America has elected it’s first unqualified African American to the Presidency.

I’ll cry tears of horror today. I expect economic depression and the war on terror to be lost under Obama’s watch. He’ll probably fight Al Qaeda like LBJ fought Vietnam; not to win, but to loose.

Obama did virtually nothing as United States Senator; nothing as Illinois State Senator; nothing as an attorney; and nothing as legal lecturer at the University of Chicago.

Maybe he’ll pleasantly surprise us as President. I hope so, but he really reminds me of those political operatives who are just passing through, trying to line their pockets as they go so when they retire to pontificate they can be comfortable blowhards.

Love Fest Obama

Love Fest Obama

The main street media is having journalistic orgasms over President Elect Obama. If you watch the media with an unseasoned eye you’d think only good and love can come out of the hope fest on the Washington mall.

Things are bad, very bad. And, they’re not likely to get better soon.

We need a lot more then just hope. Hope is good, but hope based upon denial is a recipe for tragedy.

I view Obama’s incoming administration as the 2nd half of Jimmy Carter’s administration. The press loved Carter and still covers up his reckless and arrogance term as President.

If a huge technological breakthrough occurs-say fusion energy-and the economy turns around; or if Christ returns; or something equally profound; Obama may have a very successful term. If not, I see war and economic depression keeping the country bound.

Obama’s south side of Chicago

Obama’s south side of Chicago

When I drive through President Elect Obama’s south side of Chicago and look at the devastation 60 years of Democrat machine politics hath wrought, I can’t help but wonder about the obvious disconnect between Obama’s oratory and the reality of what his posse of party members has accomplished.

The Children of Bad Leroy Brown run roughshod in South Chicago with guns, drugs, murder and mayhem.

One of the few places safe enough to live on the south side is Hyde Park. The Chicago Police department do not patrol Hyde Park. The University of Chicago Police do. That is the only reason Obama could live there without getting murdered or killed.

You never hear the national press report the true stories  about how the south side gangs  violently take over the University of Chicago Hospital, very near Obama’s mansion, shooting up the place and killing innocent bystanders. Such violence is common of Chicago’s south side and with the exception of Hyde Park and one or two other enclaves, the place is a war zone. It’s more like Mexico City then most other places in the United States.

I hope Obama is successful, but I doubt he will be able to. He’s good at talking, but there is darn little to show for all of his alleged efforts to help the people of Illinois.

Who will Bush Pardon?

Who will Bush Pardon?

Everybody, if he’s smart.

That would include everybody in his administration, the military, the justice department, the state department and anywhere men and women took action at his direction or on his authority, or with even his tacit approval.

Will it make the lefties mad? Yes. Will it send Nancy Pelosi through the roof? Yes.

I plan on being very mad when Obama and his crew drop the Bush security umbrella and a nut case lights off a weapon of mass destruction in Chicago. Are the democrats stupid enough to let that happen? Yes.

61 former GITMO Jihadist fight on.

61 former GITMO Jihadist fight on.

When prisoners of war are taken into custody, they usually stay in custody until the end of the war. Thanks to nut cases on the left, 61 former Gitmo prisoners have been released and returned to a life of terrorism and are actively attacking American and western interests.

The war on terror isn’t over and we let the bad guys out to attack us again. When president Obama closes Gitmo, more hardened terrorists-well rested and fed-will be available to blow up innocent Americans for their Jihad.

I only hope that when these guys next kill Americans that it’s the loved ones and family members of the folks who helped put them out of Gitmo who get killed first. Actually, I really don’t believe that; I don’t want anybody to get killed; I just want to emphasize my frustration with people in la la land.
