President Obama said back on May 2nd of 2006, "Eight months after Katrina, there’s no longer any emergency that justifies a no-bid contract that might have been entered into the days after Katrina." (Obama Speeches.com)

So what did we learn today?  "...the Obama administration this month awarded a $25 million federal contract for work in Afghanistan to a company owned by a Democratic campaign contributor without entertaining competitive bids,..." (James Rosen, 2009).

Now this company is going to "train the next generation of legal professionals" throughout the Afghan provinces and thereby "develop the capacity of Afghanistan's justice system to be accessible, reliable, and fair." (James Rosen, 2009)   Are they kidding? 

How long will it take for America to see this man for who he truly is - just another lying politician out to reward his cronies?

Just when you thought it could not get any better... It appears that President Obama is planning to go out to Nevada to "help" campaign for Ried, who is trailing in all the polls.

I say Great!  The "Big Cheese" riding in on his big white plan to save the day.  After all, look how well it worked in the VA Governor’s Race, the NJ Governor’s Race, Copenhagen for the Olympics, Copenhagen for the Climate Boondoggle, and just look at how much he helped Martha Coakley. This President just don't seem to get it, but I hope the people of Nevada show Harry the same "love" as the people of Massachusetts showed Martha.

To the great people of Nevada, "America is counting on you to do the right thing and send Harry to the unemployment line."

As we look to the close of Obama's first year in office, I thought it would be good to offer up some very good information presented by Judge Andrew P. Napolitano, the senior judicial analyst at Fox News.

Judge Napolitano put together five short videos (5 - 7 mins each) on the The Constitution, our Freedoms and how the three branches of Government are supposed to work.

As you watch these videos, think back on some of the outrageous things our Government has done and how they continue to grow the Federal Government.  They have taken a lot of power from the States and the people of this great nation.  This has never been more rampant then this past year with the Obama Administration.  Well, knowledge is power and the more the American people know about our rights and freedoms, the more we can do to run these crooks out of Washington.

With each passing day, we see just how reckless Obama's decision to close GITMO without a plan is turning into a bigger and bigger National Security nut roll. If he would have taken his time, developed a plan and secured the cooperation of other countries, he may have been able to close GITMO, but his inexperience and arrogant attitude has only proven why experience as community organizer does not make a Commander in Chief.

And now, according to Michael Isikoff of Newsweek, we may be looking at "Gitmo Forever".

"But the final irony is that many of the detainees may not even want to be transferred to Thomson and could conceivably even raise their own legal roadblocks to allow them to stay at Gitmo".

 You got to love it; detainees may sue to stay in GITMO. This administration is a joke!

You know I really think these idiots who get elected to Congress should have to take a test on the Constitution and other documents our Founding Fathers wrote. 

Enter Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) who thinks the Constitution gives Congress the authority to require that every American buy health insurance (Matt Cover, 2009).

Wow, did you know that?  I wonder how long it will be before they think the Constitution gives them the authority to require us to by a car from GM, since they (or I should say we the taxpayers) own the majority of the stock? 

Just so no one really thinks this is in the Constitution, here is what some others have to say;

“Nowhere in the Constitution is Congress given the power to mandate that an individual enter into a contract with a private party or purchase a good or service,” wrote  Heritage scholars Randy Barnett, Nathaniel Stewart, and Todd F. Gaziano.

This health care bill is a major disaster for America and we need to contact Congress now.

The Democrats, always living in a fantasy world, really thought the American people voted for the Socialist agenda that Obama was selling.  The fact is, as I said before here, Obama was elected because he was not Bush and to support that claim, all you have to do is look at Obama's and Democrat's poll numbers and what people think of the direction the Nation is heading.  These numbers say we do not want to continue down this Socialist road of "Big Government", Tax Hikes" and "World Appeasement".

So now, the Democrats,  "Desperate for Edge in Election Year, Dems Turn to Old Strategy" (Fox News), but they still don't get it do they.  They forget they have had control of Congress for three years and Obama has been President for close to one year.  It is well past time for these idiots to "put their big boy and big girl panties on and deal with the facts".  Blaming Bush and the Republicans for where we are now is getting old and the American people are quickly turning against all the BS they see in Washington. 

From the massive nut roll on Health Care, to the boondoggle in Copenhagen, to trying terrorists in criminal courts, this administration is completely out of touch with the majority of Americans.  Let's hope the American people continue to see through this BS and take back America in 2010.  To keep informed, check out these links:

In yet another reason to contact Congress and tell them this Health Care Bill is BS...

Forget the public option. Even without it, the health care bill presented in the Senate by Majority Leader Harry Reid (D.-Nev.) would make some middle-class American families pay what amounts to a $15,200 annual federally-mandated insurance fee, according to facts revealed in analyses published by the Congressional Budget Office.  (Terence P. Jeffrey, Editor-in-Chief)

This bill is a disaster and needs to be thrown out with the Democrats....  Be sure to contact your Senators and Representative at  Congress.org

Fearing their butts may be in hot water for supporting the disastrous health care bill, Democrats are running scared to the White House requesting the "Boy Blunder" hold off on the "Cap & Trade" bill. 

Sounds to me that these idiots may be scared the American people will put their ass out on the unemployment line for supporting anymore job killing, tax hiking, deficit increasing bills against the will of the people.  If they are smart, they will kill the health care, but then they are Democrats, so the smart thing is out of discussion...

You know I rarely agree with the slobbering liberal media.  However, I read this article on the Huffington Post by  Jane Hamsher that now has me wondering if the left is beginning to see through this arrogant & incompetent administration.  Jane's post,  "Top 10 Reasons to Kill the Senate Health Care Bill", provides some keen insight into the Senate Health Care bill.  After reading these top ten and reviewing the supporting information, it is clear that every American should be on the phone, sending emails, or faxes to their Senators.  This bill is a disaster for America, so I urge everyone to contact their Senator now, before it is too late.  THIS BILL MUST BE STOPPED!  To find out how to contact thses criminals, check out Congress.org.

Top 10 Reasons to Kill Senate Health Care Bill  (Jane Hamsher, December 2009)

1. Forces you to pay up to 8% of your income to private insurance corporations -- whether you want to or not.

2. If you refuse to buy the insurance, you'll have to pay penalties of up to 2% of your annual income to the IRS.

3. Many will be forced to buy poor-quality insurance they can't afford to use, with $11,900 in annual out-of-pocket expenses over and above their annual premiums.

4. Massive restriction on a woman's right to choose, designed to trigger a challenge to Roe v. Wade in the Supreme Court.

5. Paid for by taxes on the middle class insurance plan you have right now through your employer, causing them to cut back benefits and increase co-pays.

6. Many of the taxes to pay for the bill start now, but most Americans won't see any benefits -- like an end to discrimination against those with preexisting conditions -- until 2014 when the program begins.

7. Allows insurance companies to charge people who are older 300% more than others.

8. Grants monopolies to drug companies that will keep generic versions of expensive biotech drugs from ever coming to market.

9. No re-importation of prescription drugs, which would save consumers $100 billion over 10 years.

10. The cost of medical care will continue to rise, and insurance premiums for a family of four will rise an average of $1,000 a year -- meaning in 10 years, your family's insurance premium will be $10,000 more annually than it is right now.

Obama's chief scientist thinks a strong consensus is sufficient evidence for Global Warming, despite the fact that the data was skewed to reflect what these nut jobs wanted.

The science showing that greenhouse gas emissions from human activities are causing a dangerous warming of the world's climate is sound, President Barack Obama's top scientists said on Wednesday, despite controversial e-mails stolen from climate researchers. (Reuters)

This is just another example of the shear arrogance of this administration to do whatever they can to push their agenda.  I think that someone should tell John Holdren that the "consensus" years ago supported the Earth as being flat, but we know how that worked out.   Science is about facts; facts proven through solid tests, experimentation and data, not "consensus."
