"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men
from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."

Obama is 'Wrong for America'

Dr. Tom Coburn (R-OK) gives the Republican address today. Watch Dr. Coburn and tell us if you don't think the Senator from Oklahoma should be running for President:





If you want to see the Obama Saturday address attacking Republicans and their budget, please follow the link. Obama's being on the campaign trail with his attack politics is already old.

Obama Assesses GOP Budget: 'Wrong for America'
Apr 16, 2011 – 9:32 AM
We have a different take on that headline from the Obama Saturday morning address to America -- Obama is 'Wrong for America' as he seeks to make sure his major donors continue to get our tax dollars while ignoring what is best for America. His speech Wednesday night offered nothing new -- tax and spend. He took a table knife to the budget he submitted and expected the American people to rave what a wonderful President he was.

Obama will never understand most of the American people are now having a hard time with the rising gas prices caused in part by this Administration's moratorium still in place in the Gulf except for one permit we heard was issued. His administration is not doing any better in issuing permits on new drilling here on land. They have essentially shut down new exploration for oil and gas in the United States.

We are now even more dependent on what happens in the Middle East that Obama helped stir up with his inept foreign policy and a Secretary of State that is out of touch with reality. Bad combination that has made the middle east worse and caused the price of a barrel of oil to rise significantly. You don't waffle like is the trademark of Obama and you certainly don't take the side of the rebels with leaders and members of Al Qaeda as a major part of their group.

None of us have to worry as we are reminded by this Administration inflation is not that bad and we have to sacrifice by paying more for gasoline. Why? Since the Government doesn't consider the price of gasoline and groceries in the inflation numbers, the inflation is going to remain lower than it actually is. Tell that to my bank account that there is no inflation. So sick and tired of the weasel wording you get from this Administration on oil and gas along with groceries as he jets around the country on our dime wasting jet fuel and throwing parties in the White House. Someone needs to tell the President that is not a king or a dictator. It is time he and his family quit abusing the perks that come with being President and realize what the average American is facing. Time for Obama rhetoric is OVER!

Obama could have said in his speech that he made a lot of mistakes with the economy when he took office as he was inexperienced and that he wasted too much of the American tax dollars on an agenda that sounded good like bailing out the banks, GM, and Chrysler but in reality it failed as the stimulus money was wasted in a lot of instances. Then he could have said that he will work across the aisle to do what is best for the American people.

Not Obama -- he has chosen the confrontational approach toward Republicans who have some very good ideas on how to get this Country back on its feet. Obama would rather play the senior citizen card that has worked in the past that Republicans want to take away social security checks. Obama is a typical politician from the far left or far right that only their agenda is correct.

Wish that our Senator, Dr. Tom Coburn (R-OK), would run for President because he truly believes that working together you can solve the problems of America. Every time he has reached out his hand to Obama, he gets it bit off which shows that Obama has no intention of working with Republicans. He would rather be in campaign mode on the attack.

Poorest example of a President we have ever experienced in this Country which is over 200 years old with Obama as the 45th President. This better teach voters a lesson that you never elect someone as President who was raised in his early years in a foreign country whose parents were not in the military but as an adopted son of an Indonesian. It doesn't look like in his life that he ever was friends with people you meet on the street every day throughout Middle America. The same people who turn out in big numbers for a spring football scrimmage and to see the alumni play flag football.

The people behind Obama pulled a coup in getting an inexperienced, far left, lazy politician elected. He has proven he didn't deserve to be President and it is now up to common sense Americans from the right, middle, and left to see that he is not reelected. Let the far extremes of both parties duke it out as we can unite to elect someone who understands you have to work together for the betterment of all Americans. The 'my way or no way' we see out of Obama/Pelosi and the far left is matched but what we are seeing out of the far right. Both groups see working across the aisle as the greatest sin you can do and go on the attack when they don't get their way.

In the weeks ahead we will start looking in-depth at some of the candidates who have announced exploratory committees and are close to making a formal announcement to run for President like former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty who learned as Governor with a full Democrat legislature that you have to work together to get things accomplished. Yet he was willing to stand his ground when he felt it was in the best interest of the people of Minnesota and tell the Democrats NO!

Then we have Donald Trump who is making all the noise. Like him or hate him, he is not afraid to say what he thinks. He is saying things a lot of people are thinking. Will he run? We have no clue but it sure is fun to watch the left squirm when he talks.

Rick Santorum surprised a lot of people by taking the straw poll in one of the SC counties. Unlike CPAC, the straw poll was not bought by the candidate busing in his people. These were activists voting.

Newt Gingrich has put out some interesting documents but we don't see his chances for the GOP nomination getting off the ground. He is more cabinet material in our opinion.

Herman Cain may be the sleeper candidate in all of this as he is slowly picking up support. We also have Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels who will decide after the legislative sessions is done if he will run for President.

My favorite, Governor Rick Perry of Texas, is making no moves to run and my second favorite, Dr. Coburn, is doing the same. That leaves a wide open field for my support and that of others although most of the people I talk with do not want anyone from the 2008 campaign which was such a disaster.

When you have former candidates that in 2010 were told they were not needed in some states to campaign for candidates, they do not need apply for 2012. The talk media needs to stay out of the primary for the most part with the horrible job they did in 2010 helping give us some bad candidates out of primaries in the Senate.

What we do know is that we need to field a strong candidate that can withstand the Obama media attacks. We don't care about Obama attacks he reads from his teleprompter and neither do most people. When you put your own Vice President to sleep with your speech, your rhetoric is wearing thin. It is the constant attacks by the Obama media as they try and get him reelected. They were a major part of his campaign strategy in 2008 by covering up his gaffes, his background, and attacking McCain at every turn. The Obama media became a part of the Obama campaign and unfortunately too many Americans fell for their spin.
