So the good news, then the bad news.
The Good News:
Finally something that might be able to call "Stimulus" which is not in the magical wonderful stimulus package! It's not entirely stimulus, but it's the first evidence or piece of something that shows some shred of stimulus. In other words, it's the first little tiny bit of money which allegedly has gotten into hands of the people in this country. The other stuff called "Stimulus" in the past everyone has given up on and is slowly realizing what it really was. So, if this was real stimulus though, it would not be conditional. Many raced to car dealerships to trade in their "clunkers" or to try to apply for this program. If someone was lucky enough to qualify, could they buy any car of their choice? No. So how is that stimulus. Many families needed a car with enough seats to seat their children and families, they quickly found out that they were forced to choose a small economical car with few seats. But for the families that qualified and found a car they could be satisfied with, this was finally some money back in their pockets. For them, you can call this stimulus. If it was real stimulus, how about giving people money back or a rebate of some kind for real things such as food, clothing, things that are needed in a bad economy. And no way in hell is it over. When you see Newsweek stating that the economy is over, isn't that proof enough the state of our media and the deceit and corruption.
The Bad News:
So the federal government implemented this program Clunkers for Cash. It took only 4 days for us to find out how capable our federal government is at succeeding at anything. The biggest joke, is this was a measley chump change program, maybe a billion dollars at most. It took 4 days, and the federal government ran out of money in this program. They continually demonstrate that they don't know what they're doing, they can't get anything right. Why do the citizens of this country still believe that our federal government can get anything right? Why do they still believe that the federal government should change or touch anything? Every time the federal government has meddled in something, they have screwed it up with several consequences: Taking away our freedoms, stealing more of our money, wasting it, causing the poor people to remain poorer, causing the middle class to be in misery, never able to get ahead. Then the federal government denies responsibility for the mess, and claim they need to reform it. Look at the health industry. Kennedy implemented HMO's a long time ago, most corrupt system that didn't work. Then he said we needed to reform it, then we have had health insurance reform every year after. The housing industry was destroyed by the federal government through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, yet they deny it. The federal government is responsible for oil and increase in gas prices with their taxes on it, and regulations. They now own automotive companies, what do you think will happen. This program really was a subsidy to help their new company, Government Motors, but it backfired. Instead they are helping their competitors such as Toyota.
So the biggest clunker that is polluting our world and our lives, is the federal government of the United States. How about we trade that in for cash. I'm playing with the words here. But seriously, if the citizens would wake up and fight back, we need to seriously change the big clunker, the federal government to how it should be. If we fail to do so, the economy will continue to falter in spite of all of us trying to avert the disasters of everything the government touches.

Obama's Stamp on America
Oh, thank goodness for this great president Obama! He is really saving our economy and we are increasing in wealth and prosperity every day! NOT!
Here's his wonderful contributions so far, and it's been a short time:
(they may be out of order but frankly because it's hard to capture everything, and I might have missed some things frankly)
1. Given TARP money and bailouts to automakers
2. Given TARP money and bailuots to banks (even if they didn't want it, they were forced to sign contracts and give up things in exchange (secret things, obviously)). The government would not even let one bank repay the TARP money which they were able to do so. The reason being, that they wanted to dictate terms. They wanted to own and control the business.
3. $ 3.27 stimulus bill which was supposed to magically solve all our problems, all of which I have seen no one benefit and our economy is still worse than ever, and unemployment figures are double digit, foreclosures rising (still to this day).
4. Obama unconstitutionally gave powers to 13 or 14 czars. Noone is stopping this or questioning it. The Senate didn't even grant or weigh in on this. They just do what Obama wants and they have more power than his cabinet.
5. Obama owns some of the banks, dictating salaries of CEO's. What this means is that now the government unconstitutionally can dictate salaries of anyone if they so choose.
6. Obama unconstitutionally now owns Chrysler and GM. We should not have government in our market. Every time the government meddles in our private sector, those industries die. How do you think we got where we were? Government meddling.
7. Obama unconstitutionally fired the CEO's of Chrysler and GM.
8. Obama unconstitutionally robbed the stockholders of GM and Chrysler and took what they owned (the company) and gave it to the unions. (their special interest buddies)
9. Obama closed 15 plants in GM and closed 1 out of every 4 plants for Chrysler. The automakers so bankrupt even after all the bailouts and even after all of this money, lots of job losses. None of the closings of the dealerships were based on revenue or productivity. It is speculative that it is based on some political or fund-raising reason.
10. Caterpillar was promised lots of money in construction from the stimulus but obviously that didn't happen. They have laid off so many people.
11. Obama imposes higher fuel efficiency standards. How is this supposed to help? Our automakers are now bankrupt, this will increase cost for them? It doesn't help us Americans either in this depression - it makes things cost more and it doesn't put money in anyone's pocket? It appeases "special interests" that's it.
12. ACORN, the scandalous group trying to defend themselves for voter fraud among other charges, was awarded and selected by Obama to manage the Census. What a crock? They should use a reputable firm or why not use the US Post Office, maybe divert that money to them and help them not be bankrupt
13. US Post Office officially bankrupt
14. Obama trying to silence free speech (under the table). Originally called the "Fairness Doctrine", then he changed the name to something else
15. Obama and the media telling businessmen, not to fly corporate jets anywhere, yet Obama flies a jet (with calvary of secret service) for a date with his wife. This is just crap. This has led to killing other industries in catering and jets.
16. Obama telling businesses they cannot give people bonuses. Both Congress and Obama knew that AIG had contracts to give bonuses to their people. Yet, after the fact, they deny this and the media reports this irresponsively, leading to death threats on small employees at AIG. They were forced to surrender their bonuses. Yet, both the government employees awarded themselves billions in bonuses this quarter, and both the government and media didn't say anything when Goldman Sachs (who were awarded TARP money), just gave their employees bonuses.
17. Obama told businesses not to have meetings or conventions in Las Vegas. What is the result? Hurting the economy, and tanking the economy especially in Las Vegas. Now the tourism industry there is suffering. And does it stop there? No, because our economy is global and ripples everywhere.
18. The stock market tanked when Obama was elected even more than it was and it has steadily declined every day he is in office. 1/3 of the world's wealth has been lost, and many of our retirement and personal money is lost in the stock markets. This money is money used by us as retirement, but it is money / capital used by our companies. When this is lost, it is the wealth of our country, it is not the "big business" as media likes to portray as evil. Frankly, all of this affects all of us. It is naive to not understand capitalism and how business operates in the world.
19. Obama is responsible for the largest single year increase in spending since World War II. Ths spending and budget is larger than all the federal budgets combined for the last decades.
20. Obama also owns CBSD news. He had his sole show on health care at the White House. Wow! what we have come to in our country
21. Obama is closing Gitmo, Guantamano Bay. Hmmm. It shouldn't be a problem to release terrorists altogether, or in the United States. This was a resort for crying out loud. They complain about this. It was a perfect place to harbor terrrorists. They are not prisoners, they are terrorists. Does no one care about our security anymore ?
22. Obama administration trying to ram Card Check legislation through. Do you know what this is? It is trying to force unions on every single industry and not only that but to have public votes so that people can be ramrodded, and intimidated if they don't vote for the union. Every industry that is failing, you will see either 1, 2 or both of these factors: government meddling and unions. Unions do not help anyone, except themselves. Look at the facts. Unions have a lot in common with democrat liberals. They are one in the same. They want power and they want money.
23. Obama wanted to have a person voted on the Supreme Court with "empathy", and so he found Ms. Sotomayor. Yes, she is full of empathy. But you know what it is unconstitutional and against the oath you must make when you become a Supreme Court judge. Ms. Sotomayor even publicly stated that she does not believe what she will need to state in her oath to become a Supreme Court Judge. So basically Obama wants someone in the Supreme Court to do what he is doing, go against the Constitution.
24. Obama wants to socialize healthcare. Frankly this will lead to all the failures of all the other social health care programs around the world. Everyone in the past has come here for our superior health care. That will stop. Now there will be nowhere to go. We already had our own national healthcare tried before - look at veteran health care, look at military healthcare, and I believe there is one other which I do not recall now. All of them are failures and don't work.
25. Unemployment is in double digits, economy is worse than ever, the stock market is pathetic
26. Obama asking Senate to grant Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, extra power to seize non-bank financial companies, investment firms and hedge funds.
27. Biggest tax hike on tobacco, everyone is complaining. This really helps the economy doesn't it? When you see people smoking you should thank them for helping to pay for many of our taxes.
28. House and Senate approve $3.5 trillion budgets. Money is no object for our government
29. Federal government gives themselves $1.3 billion more in bonuses, yet AIG insurance was not allowed to do so
30. The Los Angeles Unified School district pays 160 union members roughly $10 million a year to do nothing
31. Obama hindering CIA's ability to prevent terror attacks by allowing them to be sued and preventing them from using the tools necessary to keep us safe
32. Obama called military veterans a threat, lumping them with terrorists.
33. China won't buy our debt, which tyhey and Japan own most of it. In fact, they're seeking a foreign currency because they know the value of our dollar is plummeting or will do so with all the destructive things Obama is doing
34. H.R. 2454 - The Cap & Trade Tax. This is a bill they just signed about pollution and global warming, all of which is a hoax. How is this going to help our economy? It will not in the least. It taxes carbon dioxide including things like soda. It also dictates that home owners and builders must live up to basically California codes which will cost more money anytime you change something in your house or change owners or purchase a new house or try to sell property. Our economy is bad, and our housing market is bad, yet hey let's throw on a bunch of meaningless regulations that will cost more money and make people's current property lose value. So basically another way to screw us and destroy the economy further all in the name of special interests.
35. Obama is possibly considering reverting the 22nd amendment to allow a President to serve more than 2 terms.
Wonderful stuff isn't it. So far, I have not seen a positive thing help my fellow citizens. I have not seen anyone, low class, middle class or upper class benefit from any of this. We are equally hit hard by more taxes, less money and losing freedoms every day. Foreign countries laugh and see clearly what is going on, while our media and citizens blindly live their lives, oblivious to what is happening to our great country.
Here's his wonderful contributions so far, and it's been a short time:
(they may be out of order but frankly because it's hard to capture everything, and I might have missed some things frankly)

Truth about Obama's Stimulus Package 20099
Oh how wonderful this stimulus package is! Oh how wonderful, the impact it has had on our economy. Our economy just skyrocketed by this! NOT! Please use some common sense here.
Obama keeps promising transparency and that we can hold him accountable for what he says. But every single time he opens his mouth it's a lie. His words don't match his actions. But his loving, and worshipping media fans report whatever he says as truth without questioning any of it. That's the hypocrisy of the media. While the entire world watches the destruction of our country and the stupidity of us and fear for how it will impact them, we, the citizens and media blindly believe whatever is reported on national media. Not once, has Obama mentioned any of the details truthfully of his stimulus package. I'm not going to mention all of them, but I will list a few and you tell me how it has put money in the hands of those who need it, and you tell me how this has "stimulated" our economy.
* Clean, efficient energy. How is any amount of money spent on clean and efficient energy going to help anyone get a job or put money in anyone's hand. It will not and has not. In fact, this is just one of the democrat parties biggest special interests
* Roads and construction. How is any amount of money spent on this going to lead to jobs and putting money in anyone's pocket. Well it probably is more likely to do so than the other items on this list. But think about it for a minute. How many people work on roads and construction ? Not many. Another factor, most of these are already budgeted into state and local governments. It just might mean there are more projects. Also, who are the types of people that work on roads and construction? Usually illegals and people of lower class who already have jobs. There is always demand for these jobs. So does this really put money in people's hands? no. In fact, Obama promised a construction company on national TV, named Caterpillar that they would have to hire so many new people. Well he talked to the CEO, the CEO was later reporting and people from Caterpillar sharing stories on the news that they in fact did not see that money, and actually had to lay people off. How is that for you ?
* Money to states. Well that's great, it will help some states get more out of debt. The democrat led states like California, New York are bankrupt and can't manage their money. So they got a bunch of cash. But they still remain in the red. But great, give them money. Does the money come to us ? NO. Has anyone benefited from this? NO
* Tax Cuts. Now look closely at this. It has been a long time now. Out of the trillions or billions of dollars, less than 10% of it resulted in tax cuts. So guess what this resulted in, allegedly was $7 per week of tax cuts to certain individuals (allegedly everyone). But even still, it wasn't a tax cut, because whoever got this (which I still have not met anyone who got it), has to give it back when they pay taxes in April. So it's a slap in the face. Trillions of dollars are wasted, and Obama can't even give a lousy $7 to people. This is the thing that might "Stimulate" the economy. When President Bush implemented "real tax cuts" we all got a check in the mail, and could use it right away. The stock market skyrocketed just at the mentioning of "tax cuts". With the stimulus the stock market is still sinking because people are smart and don't believe this crap. Also, the economy has not improved at all, it is getting worse, because not even these tax cuts were implemented. The only thing I can suspect is that maybe illegals got this tax cut, because I still have not seen it.
* Healthcare. Billions of dollars are thrown at steps to nationalize healthcare. How is this going to help anyone? It won't and hasn't. It doesn't put money in anyone's pocket
* Federal buildings. Billions of dollars are thrown at refurbishing, improving or changing federal buildings or government property. How is this going to put money in people's hands. It hasn't and won't. In fact, they already have a huge budget for things like this. They're trying to steal a crisis, to waste money on more government crap.
* Federal jobs. There might be a few more federal jobs created with this stimulus package. Will this result in anything positive? It might provide a few people with temporary jobs for the government. But honestly who wants to work for the government? And you know what this means? it means the government is getting bigger and we will have to pay for these people to have jobs? Why not, instead do something which might stimulate the economy the proper way, people can have jobs in the real market, so that we don't have to pay their salary. Otherwise we will perpetuate the debt and bad economy we already have. No common sense here at all.
* Energy research, other research. How in the world is doing "research" going to put money in people's pockets or stimulate the economy. It won't and hasn't. In fact, why the hell does the government need to do research. They already spend billions on research. This is just a sham where they are diverting money to special interests. The role of government is not "research" and they should look at history. Conservative policies work every time they're tried; Unfortunately they are not tried very often; Liberal policies have failed every time and we have a long record of those, do not repeat those, yet they still do.
* Federal fleet (vehicles). There already is a budget to replace and maintain vehicles and their fleets. No point adding this crap again
* Most of the money won't be spent until 2010 or even later. How is this stimulus ?
* As you can see, Obama said we were desperate to get this signed right away. Members of Congress were not even given 12 hours to read it. Every member of Congress signed this without even reading it. What a scam? What do you think about your Congressmen, they signed something before reading it? Obama promised, that nothing would be signed until it had been fully disclosed on a website for the public to read for 7 days, he further said Congress would have time to read everything. None of that happened.
* If Obama really wanted to stimulate the economy, he would have followed the success of Ronald Reagan and President Bush. He, instead, rammed a long list of "special interest" agenda's through and called it "stimulus". The market has responded so well hasn't it? Do you feel stimulated ?
Obama keeps promising transparency and that we can hold him accountable for what he says. But every single time he opens his mouth it's a lie. His words don't match his actions. But his loving, and worshipping media fans report whatever he says as truth without questioning any of it. That's the hypocrisy of the media.

Obama promised, that nothing would be signed until it had been fully disclosed on a website for the public to read for 7 days, he further said Congress would have time to read everything. None of that happened.
* If Obama really wanted to stimulate the economy, he would have followed the success of Ronald Reagan and President Bush. He, instead, rammed a long list of "special interest" agenda's through and called it "stimulus". The market has responded so well hasn't it? Do you feel stimulated ?

Oil - Soooo misunderstood
It is so amazing that "OIL" is so political and the cause of so much debate.
Oil, is a huge and significant, beneficial part of our world. Why does it get blamed for so many problems?
First of all, there is talk about decreasing our dependency on foreign countries for oil. This is obviously a good thing to do. Doing so would actually decrease the cost (more than it is now). Doing so would allow us to be self-reliant and not deal with others. We have plenty of oil in our country, yet the hypocrisy is that one party will not authorize drilling or pursuing this endeavor. That same party politicizes and lies to the country about oil and who profits from it severely. One party at one point blamed a war's incentive for oil, which is entirely insane. I will not speak further about this. One must only look at the facts and use common sense.
When oil came about, it had several advantages. Frankly, there are a lot of issues to produce electricity and energy. We use electricity in homes for air conditioners, appliances, etc. and we use energy in automobiles, planes, military, etc. Oil is the key to all of this. There are many complicated issues to deal with energy: storage, distribution, production, etc. Oil was the cheapest to produce, there was a viable means to store it and distribute it. Simply in all facets, oil is the cheapest.
There are alternatives to oil, such as wind and nuclear. Frankly, nuclear is the 2nd best to oil, but we were never permitted to pursue it. Obama is fine with Iran using nuclear energy (allegedly that's what they're using it for), however, we can't use it ourselves. Other sources though, such as wind, there are too many issues with it. Wind doesn't exist all the time, you can't store wind, it just doesn't work, and it is extremely costly.
You know, oil frankly works very well. The reason why oil ends up being expensive to us as customers is not because of the guys who make oil. Frankly oil / gas hasn't increased in price as much as most other things such as milk and other stuff. But since the guys in Washington make this a political issue for their own gain, then they try to make the public afraid of oil, trying to inflate issues where they are not there. Simply the reason why gas ends up being expensive is for other reasons.
So why is gas expensive ? Because first of all, there are so many taxes? there are federal taxes, state taxes of several kinds. Never, when the public is outraged at high prices of gas, does the government lower those taxes or remove them? No, they in fact keep it hidden that taxes are in the cost of gas. Also, the other reason why gas is expensive is that the government requires that different formulas and types of gas are produced. So they ration what is produced out of different mixes and octanes of gasolines for different regions of the country and for different vehicles. Like all other industries the government tries to regulate, those either stifle business or they increase the price of the product being regulated so we Americans have to pay more money for the product.
So every time the government talks about this, they have their "special interests" screwing us every time and they continue to be able to fly by under the radar not being blamed for the high prices of gas.
Now the government is trying to force us to buy hybrids. Frankly, hybrids are not what Americans want. If they wanted them, they would be buying them in droves. They are slow, if any performance or power is to be found in them, then they have to have an engine that consumes gas alongside the battery power. And frankly, how are they going to recharge the hybrid (at least earlier models - had to plug in to electricity in the home, which uses what? ) - oil. So it is so hypocritical. We are wasting time and money as government always does. We have something that works well, if they would just leave it alone, we would have our freedoms and not pay through the roof.
Has anyone talked to their electric provider about alternative sources of energy? I have, we all could elect to use alternative energy for our homes power. But did you then look at the price tag? So much more. And who is doing it? None of us. Frankly, it is the good old oil, which works the best for all of us. It has so many good qualities and is easy to meet all our needs.

Healthcare
It is amazing that there are so many examples of bad healthcare, and yet our federal government is heading toward enacting exactly what has failed so many times before. Let me provide some examples and explanation please.
The federal government already has different forms of healthcare all-of which are ineffective and corrupt. Many who have tried them, are not happy. We already have Medicare, we already have an entire healthcare system for veterans, an entire healthcare system for our military. Have any of those been successful? NO. Yet, we want to try a new universal healthcare system nationwide ? hmm.
Now let's also look at other examples of universal healthcare tried - in Canada, Europe, Russia, other countries. All of them failed. There is rationing and the government gets the luxury of deciding who gets care and who does not. All the decisions come down to money? Since when have we been happy with anything our government has done for us? Now, who wants to leave decisions in the hands of the government.
There are so many angles that we look at this, and none of them are good.
* Who wants the federal government to have their personal information. If this is enacted, the federal government will know every thing about all of us. Talk about fear of big government?
* Party lines. Who might be worried about voting for a certain party, based on who is seated in government. Someone who needs a transplant of some kind might fear voting a certain path for being denied healthcare. Might this be another concern ?
* The government hasn't gotten anything right, except the Constitution. Social Security failed, welfare hasn't diminished homeless or unemployment, the money never gets to the right places, the US Post Office is bankrupt. Fannie Mae and Freddi Mac fiasco cause the depression we are in now. Look at all the failures.
* Look at the last time you've gone to the DMV to get a license. How is that? Look at your experience at getting a passport ? What is your experience going through airport security? Now, this is how government does business. Is this how you want your healthcare run ?
* How do you like your healthcare insurance now? Well do you think it's going to be better when there is one source and you deal with the government ? The reason why healthcare is screwed up now, is because of government involvement. The healthcare insurance has evolved over these years according to government policies and regulations. So the reason why it sucks is because of them. Why does the government keep getting a free pass and not held accountable for it's failures ?
* Why are the unions getting an exemption from the health care tax? Yes, all of us are going to be taxed for healthcare now. Our paychecks will be smaller because now we will be taxed full amount of our income and will not get a deduction for paying premiums of our health care. But unions don't have to pay this? Why ? because of the hypocrisy of Democrats. If you don't understand Unions - they are the failure for capitalism and business everywhere also. Every industry that is failing now and through time, you will find a union and/or government meddling forcing regulations that are uncalled for and none of their damn business.
* Finally, if this passes, quality doctors will be forced out. No competition will exist and we will have one choice - the federal government and that is it. Oh and one more, this will give free healthcare to illegals and we have to foot the bill while diminishing our freedom and ability to have high quality healthcare. No more will people come to the US for our healthcare like they do today, we will have to try to find another country to get high quality healthcare, and where will that be ?

I keep seeing this guy on TV all day long every day
Who is this guy who is on TV all day long, every day? Do you know who I'm talking about? I think this guy is obsessed with himself, he can not go for any length of time without being in front of the TV. Guess who? President Obama. I can't think of another President who has been on TV more than President Obama.
I think if Jay Leno did the reality stunts of "Jay Walk" where we find all the ignorant people in the country, I don't think it's possible to find one anymore who would not know and recognize President Obama. Maybe that was his objective, he did appear on the Night Show right?

Constitution of the United States
There is a beautiful document which unfortunately most people in our country have never read, do not understand and are now questioning it's value. I am extremely saddened to discover this reality. We allegedly have several years of education that every citizen had the opportunity to learn and understand our Constitution of the United States.
If you have not read it, please do now: http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution.html
It is truly what sets United States as the best country in the world. It founded this country from many men and women sacrificing their lives and all they had to provide for the benefit of all the people. They learned from the corruption of many governments in foreign lands, they established this great document which I am failing to give justice. Please read it over and over again to realize the majesty of what this means for our country. It has provided us with freedoms to live our lives happily and prosperous. We are the richest country in the world with more freedoms than all. It (if enforced), prevents corruption in government - there are so many checks and balances, there are basic freedoms people in the past could only dream. Why have people flocked to the United States? because of the freedoms and the beautiful country we live in made possible by the Constitution of the United States.
If people only understood the Constitution, would they understand the role of government and appreciate the significance of it in their lives. The Constitution is under threat today because people don't understand it and the people if they turn on the Constitution or try to change it will lead to a government full of corruption and tyranny which the founders of this country tried to prevent by signing this Constitution into law.
