Obama Is Above The Rules

Is Obama the King of America? Are the laws and rules meant for all others?

Public Law 107-155  It shall be unlawful for any person to solicit or receive a donation of money or other thing of value in connection with a Federal, State, or local election from a person who is located in a room or building occupied in the discharge of official duties by an officer or employee of the United States. It shall be unlawful for an individual who is an officer or employee of the Federal Government, including the President, Vice President, and Members of Congress, to solicit a donation of money or other thing of value in connection with a Federal, State, or local election, while in any room or building occupied in the discharge of official duties by an officer or employee of the United States, from any person.

Below is a link to video evidence that clearly shows Obama breaking this rule since there is another video showing Obama in this same room of the White House conducting Presidential business.

Personally this would not bother me and I would call him a cheater but when you address the rules in your previous campaign and then break the rules it really says that you think you are above the rules!

Can A Business Owner Own A Business?

I read a story yesterday related to a lawsuit filed by a young woman whom was fired for refusing to remove her religion related headscarf (hijab) while on the job. My thoughts related to this make me wonder if a company truly has the right to run their company the way they would like. I sympathize with the woman but at the same time I believe there is more at stake here than ones religious beliefs. When one creates a company many things are considered and often these are related to a company image. Logos, business cards, commercials, dress codes (uniforms), jingles/slogans, and location are just a few of the things that are considered and cost big dollars by the business owner in creating a company image. These things also relate to the consumers the business might want to appeal to. If a company cannot run a business without a lawsuit related to the image that they wish to portray then is it really I privately owned company? I just don't get it because in America we do have choices and I am convinced that employment could have been found to accommodate her religious beliefs. If this lawsuit is they way it goes then maybe business owners do not truly own the controlling interest in their companies.

Why Obama Announces Troop Withdrawals

Why would Obama announce troop withdrawals from Afghanistan? He can't send an email with our war itinerary to the Taliban running all over the country, duh! At least while announcing this on television during the good shows (The Voice and So You Think You Can Dance) he can give the Taliban our war schedule while keeping a promise he made at the end of 2009.

Michelle Obama Wants More Time

Talking to ABC News Michelle Obama says, she wants more time to continue her work. "I love the job, I do. I love people and I like having a positive impact." She wants more time for her job, what does that mean? I am aware that she has a few issues that she has taken on during her stay at the White House and I am sure she is passionate about them but to need four more years says alot about her motivation. I fail to see how four more years in Washington will help her causes. I think anything she does for any issue can be done anywhere if the issue is her motivation. From the outside looking in I would think that being out of the White House would allow her more time and freedom to commit to these issues on a larger basis. She is a celebrity and this is the most valuable tool for any issue or charity so to say that she needs four more years in the White House for her issues is blowing smoke. Don't tell me a story to make it sound better, I'd love jet-setting on someone elses dollar too!

Unemployment & Unions Problem Solved

In America there is an unemployment problem and many think these numbers will continue to rise. I decided tonight I would put some thought to this issue and see if I could come up with a simple solution. While considering the issue of unemployment I had to consider unions in my thoughts and very quickly a light bulb went off in my head! Unions have served a purpose in America but their time has expired, I think that this is where we could look to solve some unemployment problems.
Businesses that employ union workers should let the contracts run out and tell these employees to buzz off, sorry about your luck! These employers could then hire from the unemployment pool (reducing unemployment) and get some good workers that appreciate jobs. Not that the union workers didn't but they did take advantage of their employment. Most would say that this would create more unemployment but I disagree because when employers can pay a reasonable wage then more workers would be hired. Any business that is not being strong-armed by the employees and unions can afford to hire more. Problem solved!

Is It The Pledge of Allegiance?

When I was young the pledge of allegiance was said in school every morning before class. When I think back on it now, the words were probably the least important part of the practice. This was more than a pledge of words it was for a few short moments everyday, an opportunity for me and my classmates to unite as one, Americans. The class would rise, cover their hearts and pledge together as a group. The meaning of the moment is much stronger in my mind than the words. If a network that airs programs for Americans in America feels the need to edit out a portion of many peoples American experience because of the words,"one nation under god", then maybe the network should edit their bank account that holds all the money with the phrase,"in god we trust"! I'm sure there is more than a few Americans that would gladly help take that off their hands and wouldn't be afraid of a few words that only represent one part of what makes America great!

A. Weiner Goes Down

A. Weiner told lies and was unable to focus on the job he was elected to do, he resisted going down and this is probably the norm in Washington. The act was not as troubling as the lies and his inability to focus and perform but finally an issue in Washington is resolved. A. Weiner goes down after being beaten by the press and meeting with his wife. Finally, something I can relate to coming out of Washington.

Obama Got Jokes

  Obama's job is to represent all Americans as President of the United States, Comander in Chief and his job does not include laughing at or making fun of situations that involve Americans who are affected by his actions and words. His stimulus plan may have included shovel ready jobs but the joke was truly on us and we should have been shovel ready for all the bullsh*t we have been given to shovel.Why would Americans be offended by a comedian telling jokes that may or may not be funny? It really doesn't matter and who cares when his job is to be offensive. I'm just thinking maybe it's time that we are offended by the issues that really matter!

Rehab For Only One Washington Weiner?

  Weiner feels the need to go to rehab for sending dirty pictures and messages on his phone but not the need to resign from his position in Washington. This seems a bit strange to me and it proves that he lacks the comprehension to represent any logical and sane Americans in Washington. Electronic flirty relationships go on all the time and some say it is the new norm (estimates as high as 1 in 5 relationships begin this way) but as far as I'm concerned this makes him a horrible husband and I could care less. My problem is his abilty to lie and present this as a crime against him. If I were to report a crime as a crime that did not happen in order to protect my image or or reputation I could and would be subject to criminal charges. Does he not understand what he did on the phone made him a lousy husband but what he did on the tv at the podium made him a lousy representative. I was thinking if they had rehab for lousy politicians then Washington would probably be pretty empty!

Parties In Washingon, D.C.

  Just a thought but when I think of a party I think of heavy drinking and loud music. Is this whats going on with the parties in Washington? How come were all working hard and they're partying? Knowing that election time is coming up I have these sorts of thoughts and I have come to the conclusion that anyone's neighbor in America is more like me and someone I'd rather elect than the these hung-over party fools!

Washington D.C. White House Landlords

  If Americans elect the President and put him in the White House, doesn't that make us landlords or property owners? As property owners it is in ones best interest to protect such a large investment and in many cases what would be our largest asset. If this were the reality and our tenant were not protecting our property (United States) we would be fools not to evict the tenant. Just a thought!
