Democrats, "The Family" of Fannie Mae

Where did it begin?

If any of you are like me, you are probably all fed up with the lines the government, the candidates, and especially the media are feeding you about the Economic Crisis. It's infuriating. You are probably asking, "How did this even happen?" I give you this video. It's long, but informative and well worth the time it takes to watch. If you are sitting on the fence about who to vote for, this video just might help you make up your mind....

Approval Ratings

I find it interesting that as the approval rating for Congress continues to decline, that Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi chooses to criticize President Bush on his "total failure" as Commander and Chief. What is even more interesting is the fact that his approval rating stayed at 28%, in comparison to Congress' approval which went from 23% last month down to 16%.

Now you tell me, who's a total failure at their job?

Why is it that Congress feels the need to do nothing? Especially on oil prices! Just days after President Bush lifted his executive ban on off-shore drilling oil prices dropped. However, the only thing our democratic run Congress is worried about is Global Warming and saving the environment from drilling, while wanting to tax oil executives (because it's their faults). Our liberal run Congress points the finger at everyone but themselves.

This cartoon sums up perfectly what I mean:

Americans are sinking in debt to these oil prices, and yet Reid, Pelosi, and Obama do nothing.

Why are gas prices so high?

Good question! It's probably one that 99% of Americans are asking.

If any of you remember the 2004 election, Democrats flocked to the polls to elect their Senators and Congressman who promised to bring the prices of gas down. Interestingly enough, gas prices have doubled since 2004 leaving most American families struggling to make ends meet. So, why don't we drill for more oil and bring the cost down? Maybe this might answer a few of your questions....

"...demand for oil isn't going to drop due to growth around the globe, the only way to bring the cost of a gallon of gas at the pump down is to increase the supply of oil. The only way to increase the supply of oil for the present is to explore for more oil and then bring it to market. That means drilling.

In the U.S. that means drilling on the outer continental shelf, more than 50 miles from the nearest coastline.

John McCain favors allowing states to do just that. Obama, Pelosi and Reid oppose it. To get the exploration underway a federal ban on such off shore drilling must be lifted, but House Democrats have blocked that move, most recently this very month. They and their presidential candidate would rather see your wallet bleed and American growth deteriorate than cross their political allies and contributors in the environmental movement. House Republicans should offer a new amendment lifting the ban on outer continental shelf drilling if the price of gas hit $6.00 a gallon. Democrats would still oppose it. Follow it with an amendment at $8.00 a galklon and then $10.00. Get the point across that the Democrats just don't care how high the price goes. They do not care about the impact on the average American family."

Who is Barack Obama?

What does he stand for?
Who does he align himself with?
Why doesn't he wear his lapel pin?
Will he keep America safe?

This video might answer a few of those questions.....

Obama's Fantasy World

I always thought that the facts Obama gave during speeches and shown on NBC and CNN were a little off, but just to prove I wasn't just hearing things, check this out. In one speech he was talking about a certain school, using a certain Afro-American curriculum which went from a 50% drop-out rate to a 100% graduations and college enrollment.

It is at best a mangled and exaggerated tall tale, at worst another in Obama's now well-documented pattern of inventing the facts and stories he needs for whatever policy position he is pushing at that moment. Whether it is the success of the Kennedy-Khrushchev Vienna summit or the idea that the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg validated the Supreme Court's decision on habeas rights for Gitmo prisoners, science fiction automobile engines just over the horizon or oil prices unrelated to oil production, Senator Obama glides along on a cushion of fantasy and made-up facts. MSM either doesn't know enough to call him on his serial absurdities or doesn't notice them because of their collective swoon.

But the pattern reflects a life lived in the world of the left where facts just don't matter much when it comes to policy. When you are just building a career for yourself out of nonsense peddled to voters who want to believe tall tales, the cost is limited.

But as president, the toll brought about by a chief executive completely given over to the idea that if enough people repeat fantasy the fantasy will come true would be enormous.

A Socialized America?

A lot of you have probably felt as much pain at the pump as I have. There are days where I feel like we are sinking, purely because we are spending over $100 a week on gas, which totals to more that $450 a month. Everything is sky-rocketing in price, and it is hitting everyone in the wallet. I find it interesting that the government is trying hard to threaten oil company executives to drop prices or to guarantee a drop in oil prices. However, read a little of what Rep. Maxine Waters (a democrat) said to John Hofmeister, the president of Shell Oil company:

During questioning, Rep. Waters asked the oil executive to “guarantee” that the price of oil will go down if oil companies are granted authority to drill off U.S. shores. When Mr. Hofmeister failed to offer such a guarantee, Representative Waters issued a threat: “And guess what this liberal would be all about? This liberal would be all about socialize…basically taking over and the government running all of your companies.”

Wow! Looks like Congress wants to run as dictators rather than a democracy. They'd rather socialize America and take over control of everything rather than give Americans the freedom to run their own businesses. Land of the free? Well, not for long.
