What Say You, President-Elect Obama, To That?

Interesting move and words from Russia. (With love, I'm suuuuure.)

So, O Exalted One, how are you going to deal with this?

We're expecting miracles, after all... so get to work!

Well? Don't you have anything to say, Barry? Barry?


Oh, sorry, Barry, but I'm afraid there's a bit more work for you... here, I'll just dump it on your desk... *WHOOMP!*

LONDON — Two difficult wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. A simmering nuclear crisis with Iran. Renewed rivalries with Russia and China. A global financial meltdown spawned on Wall Street. Terrorists almost certainly looking for ways to mount a fresh attack in the U.S.

Not since Franklin D. Roosevelt came to power during the Great Depression has a U.S. president faced such a daunting set of world problems.

But perhaps the biggest foreign policy challenge of all for Barack Obama is restoring America's battered world standing, damaged by global outrage over the Iraq war and by the deep crisis in the capitalist system the U.S. had come to embody.

Eight years ago, the world looked to the United States for leadership. Today, it is increasingly seen as a nation in decline, hobbled by hubris and uninspired leadership — destined, perhaps, to be overtaken by China within a generation.

Well, Barry, you DID ask for this job, and you DID imply that you were a miracle-worker of some sort, so...

Work your miracles. Wave your magic wand, chant something, O Exalted One... whatever it is you do to fix everything that's messed up in the world... go ahead.

Meanwhile, the Republicans will be cleaning house and trying to figure out what the hell they've been doing wrong lately... thanks for relieving them for awhile so they can take stock and get their shit together... hopefully!

'Must Transform' Healthcare System, Use Private Sector: Top Doc

Story here.

ht: National Newswatch

Emphasis mine.

"[Our system] has become some kind of religion," he said. "The word 'private' is taboo in Canada. I've been talking to people around the world and they don't get why it's such a big deal to talk about private care. In France, 60% of surgeries are done in private clinics but paid by the government. The point is to do what is important for the patient. [In Canada] we are thinking about the system, we're not thinking about the patient."

(...)

Like Canada, he said the United Kingdom suffered from the same wait list problems as Canada, as well as having similar problems in their emergency rooms.

One element they used to solve the problem was changing the way hospital budgets were allocated. Instead of global budgets, funds were tied to patient care. "The patient became a source of revenue for the hospital rather than an expense."

(...)

He said the result in the United Kingdom has been drastically reduced wait times, along with a requirement that no emergency room patient wait more than four hours before getting care.

Well? Let's make it so, then!

What's stopping us? Are we hairshirted self-flagellators; do we like to suffer? Do we want to wait all day (or even for YEARS) in agony just for the sake of the discredited dogma of socialism? Or do we want to get medical attention ASAP?

While we dither, and even while we shovel billions more of our tax dollars into the socialist system, things just keep getting worse; supply doesn't even come close to matching demand! Why? Because it's socialism, stupid! This is why we need capitalism! Dammit- even the Chinese Communists don't have pure communism anymore, don't have a purely communistic healthcare system, whereas WE do, and that's frigging insane as hell!

We're one of only three countries on Earth with purely socialized healthcare. The others are totalitarian, Non-Free World Communist butcherships, known as North Korea and Cuba. So is it any wonder that, the majority of time we visit a hospital, we feel like we're under a big thumb and are completely helpless, utterly at the mercy of the state apparatus and its dangerously overworked, too-few-in-number employees, who themselves are obviously under the irrationally oppressive state apparatus thumb?

In a nutshell, it's simply not working very well, this socialistic "Medicare" system in Canada. We KNOW it. It's time to quit being politically correct, snap out of our delusion and start speaking loudly the inconvenient truth, which is that our healthcare system actually sucks, precisely because it's purely socialized! And demand serious reform to make it work, for once and for all!

ENOUGH!

Let's roll!

Another Reason Not To Do Biz With Commie China

Story here. You'll have to read it for youself. It's not long.

ht: Bruce

See? We simply can't trust Communist-ruled China for doing business, simply because that's the way it is.

We ought to pull our businesses out and wait for the monstrous Communist Party to collapse, for democracy and human rights to come to China, and then return to do business with the good guys in China.

Simplistic? Sure. So? Sometimes simple is the best way. Sometimes it's all a matter of... just do it... *snap!*... it's done! Of course y'all know what I'm talking about. We've all been faced with situations in which we simply had to go right ahead and do something right now, period, no stalling, no B.S.ing around or anything.

What's more important, money, or the things that are much more important?

Besides, of course we can make stuff right here at home. Plus there's lots of deserving countries to which we can take our business anyway. Like India.

So long as doing business under the Communist regime isn't feasible, then just don't. Take your business somewhere else.

The Communists like to lecture us on trust, but they're clearly in no position to be teaching us lessons, as they're completely hypocritical.

"Shoo-in" Obama Still Mystery, Question Mark, Riddle

Although it appears, if polls are to be taken seriously rather than pissed upon, that Barack Hussein Obama is a shoo-in to become President-elect today, still, Americans are deluded into thinking they know this guy just because they see his face and hear his velvety orator's voice on TV all the time, almost always in a flattering manner, which isn't surprising as the mainstream media itself has apparently been seduced by this mysterious, silver-tongued charmer of a stranger.

Well, they really don't know a bloody thing about this guy. Ask anyone what they do know, and their empty or terribly lacking reaction will be most telling.

Just four years ago, Obama essentially was an unknown state legislator who with the help of the Chicago political system took over a seat in the U.S. Senate. He stated then he was unqualified for national office, but within about two years launched his bid for the White House, knocking off one of the powerhouses of Democratic politics, Sen. Hillary Clinton, in the primaries.

The questions, then, abound as he's proposed giving the United Nations hundreds of billions of dollars, promised 95 percent of Americans a tax cut and pledged to pursue environmental campaigns even if coal companies go bankrupt because of that.

He's also stated the U.S. Supreme Court should have stepped beyond the Constitution and ventured into plans for wealth redistribution, he's told a plumber his goal is just to "spread the wealth," and his wife has said people will need to give up their piece of the pie so that others can have more.

Read on to find out more... chances are, if you're not already looking online regularly and shrewdly, it will scare you away from casting your vote for this gimme-a-blank-check fellow.

Below: A wise kitty asks a critical question of American voters who plan to vote Obama:

Another Look At (A Dion-esque) Obama

Rush Limbaugh brings us an interesting little tidbit regarding Barack Obama, who may end up President-elect of the United States tomorrow.

ht: SDA

(Emphasis mine)

ROSE: I don't know what Barack Obama's worldview is.

BROKAW: No, I don't, either.

(...)

RUSH: Well, we know one of his heroes is a member of the Communist Party, Frank Davis. He mentored him in Hawaii. There's a lot we know, Tom. (laughing) Does this not ice it? Does this not ice...? We know as much as can be known about Obama, far more than he wants us to know, and here are these two pillars of Drive-By journalism. "I don't know. I don't know. It's an interesting question, Charlie. It's an interesting question." (laughing) I just think this is... "That's true." Two pillars of journalism, one has an audience and one doesn't, but it doesn't matter. They're both still pillars. Hey, Tom, Charlie, I think we can help here about his view of China. This was last night on MSNBC, and he was asked this question, Obama was. "Is there a possibility you could see in your first term if elected and we need an economic stimulus, an FDR style public works program?"

OBAMA: I've actually talked about this. I think we have to rebuild our infrastructure. Look at what China's doing right now. They, uh, er, uh -- Their trains are faster than us. Their ports are better than us. They are preparing for a very competitive Twenty-First Century economy, and we're not.

RUSH: Okay, Charlie? Tom? You just heard Obama say after you're wondering where he is on China, he thinks they're better than us! And, by the way, to be grammatically correct it would be "better than we." You don't say "better than us are." You say "better than we are." The trains run on time? All this infrastructure? Look at the infrastructure that cannot handle a .0001 earthquake! Basically a giant taking a couple of steps will crap some buildings over there. But here's Barack Obama singing, once again, the praises of China, a communist country -- and what? Criticizing the United States. It was an interesting point. It was a very interesting point to an interesting question. Tom Brokaw said it was "an interesting question," What is his attitude on China, the people advising him. Here it is. He loves China, he thinks the United States sucks. Barack Obama, last night on PMSNBC.

Now, if only this Dion-esque fumble-bumble of Obama's would hit the American MSM (too bad the CTV and Mike Duffy aren't American!)...

This is the sort of thing that can sink a candidate's hopes for victory... if it gets out.

Guess it's too late, unless...

You know, it's no wonder the "Democrats" want to impose the so-called "Fairness Doctrine", or, as it's also known, the "Hush Rush" law...

What The???

I found this while looking at images of Barack Obama on Photobucket.

I don't know the context, but it might appear that this image is from some kind of publication in which certain folks indicate a book they like, or something like that. Whatever. It just stoked my interest, so I thought I'd go further...

And this is what I found when I found and searched within the Ayers book, "A Kind and Just Parent" at Amazon.com:

1-1 of 1 page with references to barack obama:

Return to book

1.	on Page 82:
	"... Our neighbors include Muhammad Ali, former mayor Eugene Sawyer, poets Gwendolyn Brooks and Elizabeth Alexander, and writer Barack Obama. Minister Louis Farrakhan lives a block from our home and adds, we think, a unique dimension to the idea of ..."

Return to book

Hmm... look at that... Barack Obama used to live, according to, apparently, William Ayers, a known domestic left-wing terrorist and sometime associate of Obama, just a block from the racist, anti-Semitic, Islamofascist leader of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan.

Hmm... Obama... Ayers... Farrakhan...

Now, of what potential consequence is that circumstantial fact?

Well, we all know that Obama went to a church for twenty years, a church pastored by the infamous, racist, America-hating Jeremiah Wright.

Well, "Reverend" Wright has praised "Reverend" Louis Farrakhan.

So?

Well, it's just more information added to a whole, massive, disturbing, particularly when taken altogether, pile of information we already have seen about the sinister characters associating with and/or surrounding the mysterious Barack Hussein Obama, who appears poised to become President of the United States of America tomorrow...

What does it matter that Obama has so many questionable, disturbing associations and connections, a staggering amount, actually, when one thinks of it?

Well, it matters to the reasonable American voter who doesn't want to vote for a candidate who looks too risky in a dangerous way, even though there may not be a "smoking gun" proving for once and for all that the candidate is a dangerous lunatic who mustn't be allowed anywhere near the levers of absolute power in America...

Just passing on my findings.

Why Did Obama Stay in Pakistan for 3 Weeks?

Story here.

We don't know. He didn't say. What is he hiding? Who is this guy, really?

Obama stayed in Karachi with the family of a college friend, Muhammed Hasan Chandoo. Now a financial consultant in Armonk, N.Y., and an Obama fundraiser, Chandoo on Sunday declined to comment. He confirmed he was Obama’s “friend” and former “roommate,” but said, “I decided at the beginning of the campaign that I’d stay out of this whole game.”

According to published reports in Pakistan, Obama in 1981 also stayed at the home of a prominent politician, Ahmad Mian Soomro, in an upscale Karachi suburb, and went on a traditional partridge hunting trip north of Karachi. Soomro’s son, Muhammad Mian Soomro, is a senior politician who served as acting president before the appointment of President Asif Ali Zardari last September.

Obama's mysterious, questionable visit is strange in light of the following facts:

Two years earlier, the Soviet Union invaded neighboring Afghanistan; the Islamic revolution toppled the Shah in Iran; a frenzied mob attacked the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, setting it on fire and killing a U.S. Marine and two Pakistanis; and military ruler Gen. Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq hanged former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto – Benazir Bhutto’s father – whose government he had ousted in a 1977 coup.

Pakistan in 1981 was under martial law, with opposition politicians incarcerated, judges sacked, media censorship enforced and anti-government strikes underway.

(...)

Raman continued, “As I read about Obama’s visit to Pakistan in the 1980s, I could not help thinking of dozens of things. Of the Afghan jihad against communism. Of the fascination of many Afro-Americans for the jihad. Of the visits of a stream of Afro-Americans to Pakistan to feel the greatness of the jihad. Of their fascination for Abdullah Azzam …”

Read the whole thing. There's plenty of disturbing information surrounding Obama's strange, inexplicable visit.

For a Republican Presidential candidate, such an unexplained, shocking revelation and the questions certain to stem therefrom... would be fatal to his campaign.

At least we know what John McCain was doing at the time he was taken as a prisoner of war by the enemy. Fighting the enemy. We know that. Obama? No evidence that he was fighting our enemies when he was in their territory. He went there by his own free will, his choice.


In other news... here.

Obama's place of birth still in doubt despite Hawaii's claim about his "birth certificate".

The governor's communication with WND also left ambiguous whether the Obama birth certificate on file with the Department of Health was originally generated by a Hawaii doctor after giving birth to Obama in Hawaii, or generated in Kenya and subsequently registered by the Obama family in Hawaii.

(...)

WND had scheduled a second telephone interview for April 25 with Auma Obama, Sen. Barack Obama's sister in Kenya, but Auma canceled the interview and apologized to WND after Sen. Obama's campaign forbade her or any other of the Obama family to conduct any further interviews with WND, following the interview with Sayid Obama.

The issue of the authenticity of Obama's original birth certificate is further muddied by communications from Sen. Obama's half-sister, Maya Soetoro, who has claimed Obama was born in two different Hawaii hospitals.

(...)

Last week in Hawaii, WND retained a top private investigator with extensive FBI training and tasked with visiting both the Queens Medical Center and the Kaliolani Medical Center to investigate claims that Obama birth certificates existed at either hospital.

But the private investigator reported that on Thursday and Friday of last week, sheriff's deputies were stationed at both hospitals to fend off press inquiries about Obama's birth certificate.

Curiouser and curiouser... Barack Hussein Obama.

Why the police presence to prevent legitimate, important inquiries for proof regarding Obama's place of birth?

Why?

Clearly, the reasonable person understands that Obama has NOT proven he's American-born, and that he never intends to do so, very obviously.

Clearly, Obama is constitutionally ineligible to run for President.

Yet, here he is, running ahead in the polls, with voting day tomorrow...

Ominous, isn't it?

Obama Says He Would 'Bankrupt' Coal Industry

Barack Hussein ObaMugabe: Plans to destroy American coal industry. He said so!

Shocking story here. ht: Drudge Report

"If somebody wants to build a coal power plant they can, it's just that it will bankrupt them because they are going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted," Barack Obama said to the San Francisco Chronicle in January.

The Leftist propaganda spinners can spin this statement howsoever they please, but it's clear as to Obama's intentions. This radically extreme Liberal Fascist President-likely-to-be clearly intends to make 'em pay so much that it'll be financially impossible to continue to survive at all...

We didn't make this up.

Barack Hussein ObaMugabe has openly declared his agenda to destroy at least one American industry.

Is this acceptable (this question isn't directed at the brainless ObaMugabe worshippers who will accept anything and everything their false messiah will say and do, no matter what)?

Choose your America! Reject Barack Hussein ObaMugabe! He plans to destroy America's economy, one industry at a time!

Obama's A Scrawny Wimp, His Ideas Have No Muscle: Schwarzenegger

Arnold, above, and some skinny, scrawny geek with no meat on his ideas, below, called "Obama". Arnold, whom we actually know, endorses the tough-as-nails McCain-Palin, and not the pussyfooted, pencilnecky Obama bin Biden comedy duo.

Yes, yes, yes... Above: I know that, while admittedly Arnie's not a conservative, I'd still rather see him (or those he endorses, McCain-Palin) as President than Obama, for so, so many reasons. At least Arnold will still kill bad guys instead of kiss their asses like Obama would.

Story here.

"Every year in March I come here to organize the Arnold Classic, which is all about building the body and pumping," Schwarzenegger said.

"That's why I want to invite Senator Obama because he needs to do something about those skinny legs. I'm going to make him do some squats.

"And then we're going to make him do some biceps curls to beef up those scrawny little arms. But if he could only do something about putting some meat on his ideas.

"Senator McCain on the other hand is built like a rock. His character and his views are solid."

Obama Swings Iron Fist at Inconvenient Media

"I am Obama. I am The One!"

Obama reacts to inconvenient, non-submissive media...

Obama is not pleased...

Barack Obama will not tolerate those who don't agree with him, who don't submit to him.

Story here.

The Washington Times, N.Y. Post and Dallas Morning News -- three newspapers that recently endorsed John McCain -- have been kicked off Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's plane in the final days of his campaign.

The Obama campaign informed The Washington Times Thursday evening of its decision, which came two days after The Times editorial page endorsed Senator John McCain over Mr. Obama. The Times editorial page runs independently of the news department. "This feels like the journalistic equivalent of redistributing the wealth. We spent hundreds of thousands of dollars covering Senator Obama's campaign, traveling on his plane, and taking our turn in the reporters' pool, only to have our seat given away to someone else in the last days of the campaign," said Washington Times Executive Editor John Solomon.

Also, Mary T. in the comments reacts:

O has banned any journalist from his plane whose paper endorsed McCain. He has threatend many TV stations if they run negative stories about him. If he is getting away with this as a candidate, what will he do as POTUS.

Could it be the end of the so called free press in the USA. A lot of those in the tank for O might get shock when they discover they have been used and are about to be abused or censored big time.

Plus...

Obama gets unhinged, loses his temper, becomes suddenly intolerant towards so-called "paparazzi" media following him. Hey, but isn't this the guy who wants attention in the first place?

Interesting... all of a sudden. Perhaps he has limited patience?

Obama, usually cool in public during a campaign that has turned him into the frontrunner for the White House, did not disguise his irritation when his surprise walk caused news photographers and camera crews to scramble for position on the sidewalk.

What would Obama do if he becomes President? With the election campaign over, will his behavior change?

How far will he go to silence his critics and others he considers "inconvenient"?
