Barry Scores Early Victory, But Not With His Coins
Posted on February 14, 2009
Here’s your “impartial” MSM in action, by Obama prostitutes Michael D. Shear and Alec MacGillis
Obama Scores Early Victory of Historic Proportions
Twenty-four days into his presidency, Barack Obama recorded last night a legislative achievement of the sort that few of his predecessors achieved at any point in their tenure.
In size and scope, there is almost nothing in history to rival the economic stimulus legislation that Obama shepherded through Congress in just over three weeks. And the result — produced largely without Republican participation — was remarkably similar to the terms Obama’s team outlined even before he was inaugurated: a package of tax cuts and spending totaling about $775 billion.
You would think that after that, there would be a big “buuuuuuuut,” discussing how this historic bill does almost nothing to stimulate the economy, create jobs, and will bankrupt future generations, not to mention that none of the Congress Critters read the damned thing, and no one who is actually for it knows if it will work. Matter of fact, quite a few economists say it will fail miserably.
And you would think the writers might have mentioned the failuires with his nominees, his outsourcing the porkulus to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, who proceeded to craft the bill behind closed doors, his renegaing on his “post-partisan” promise, bringing in lobbyists after proclaiming there would be no lobbyists, and, well, you know the rest. Buuuuut, no, the kissy-face article goes on in a manner that would make one think that either Shear and MacGillis had been paid off, or, wanted to have Barry’s baby.

Jerome Polk was so impressed with the special edition Obama coins he saw television star Montel Williams hawking in an infomercial, he ordered six sets for himself and some of his grandkids.
Instead of coins engraved with Obama’s face, as Polk athought he’d orderedt $18 a pop, the Northeast Portland retailer received four actual U.S. coins — a silver dollar, half dollar and two quarters — featuring painted-on Obama images.
“This isn’t an Obama coin, it’s a 50-cent piece with a picture glued on,” says Polk, who paid the U.S Coin Network $145.78 for five four-coin and one three-coin sets, including $25.98 in shipping.
Now, we can’t really blame this on Barry, except in terms of him helping to create a messiah-like auru around himself. Just goes to show, there is a sucker born every minute. Except when liberals practice “choice.”

I’m not surprised that the coins are fake — just as fake and empty as all the ideas put forth by the left!

HR 219 THIS WILL SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY—but guess why PUBLIC hasn’t heard about it?? Because DEMS don’t want anyone to know that this bill will for DECADES to come SECURE SOCIAL SECURITY for the PUBLIC how?
1. Creates enough SURPLUS to pay all SOC SEC benefits for decades to come
2.Keeps politicians from cutting PRESENTSOC SEC benefits
3. keeps politicians from raising taxes.The lobby groups put out the info yesterday and that DEMS don’t want anyone to know because then politicians would have to stop using the SOC SEC for pork projects. introduced to Congress by RON PAUL OF TEXAS. If you want to put a stop to this worst spending you can write your congressman, Christopher Kit Bond and Claire McCaskill at the US Senate, Washington D.C. 20510 or your US Congressman Respresenting the 8th District, Jo Ann Emerson, Washington D.C., 20510.
Tell them your want to see the Social Security Preservation Act HR 219 which would require 100% of the trust fund money saved be passed. It is clear politicians will not pass the Social Security preservation Act HR 219 unless a tidal wave of support for the American public forces them too.
STIMULUS DEPRIVES CHILDRE/ADULT HEALTHCARE
stimulus is a STEALTH bill which contains an 800 page pro-Socialist written section where it
says
that the PUBLICS pratitioners are to give treatment ONLY that WHICH
is
COST EFFECTIVE to GOVERNMENT and that GOV says is appropriate NOT
what is BENEFITIAL to make PUBLIC healthy and NOT what will keep the
PUBLIC alive and NOT what will protect the PUBLIC.
iT also states that any illness lets say osteoporosis for example, if
you are x percent chances of survival—they will let you DIE. Same
thing with any illness allergies, asthma, add adhd and osteoporosis children as well.
Also, the Bill states that the PUBLIC must meet GOVERNMENT
requirements to receive care and it leaves it up to GOVERNMENT to
decide what those REQUIREMENTS ARE. (politically religious or otherwise) for GOV to make up as they go along.
In it’s present state it alloows GOV to DICTATE to PUBLIC Political, religious, and any stipulations it wants–the same as Russia and other countries.
If coupled with mislabeled “fairness doctrine” it will give a BLANK check to GOV to deny healthcare to NON-MUSLIMS.
And, for whaaat??? So that American’s can work hard to GIVE their money to GOV to satify the GOV want for pork at the expense of you and your childs health, safety.
NO WONDER Obama wanted to shove this IRRESPONSIBLE so-called stimulus
down an unsuspecting NATIONS throats, because they think Americans are
as Stupid as the ACLU and DEMS think they are.
go see for yourselves melanie malkin did a whole expose on it. we have been trying to get the word out but typing is difficult so feel free to cut paste print
this is a STEALTH bill designed to turn an unsuspecting Nation into a
SOC/GLOBALIST/COMMUNIST/MARXIST/FACIST Nation
SOC SEC AND MEDICARE CAN BE SAVED–HERE’S WHY YOU HAVEN’T HEARD ABOUT IT
HERE is LOCKBOX LAW and the fix our SENIOR COLA law which will ensure that our MEDICARE gets saved without loss of services and without raising of premiums. But the PUBLIC must be active to the lobby for it to pass. This keeps POLITICIANS from “raiding” the TRUST. This puts Congress on notice that PUBLIC WILL NOT tolerate the abuse of SOC SEC. They are also working to protect medicare. at site-Campaign to Save Social Security and Medicare site project of National Assoc for Uniformed Services. You DON’T have to be a SENIOR to help.
The DEMS would rather claim that taxes need to be raised, and that services need to be cut, and their Socialist rhetoric that American’s are so “selfish” for not wanting to pay higher taxes, rather than keep from using the funds for pet pork projects and to pay off those whom helped them get elected.
Here’s the point in 2010 or 2012 the new baby boomers are about to start retiring, people, and if this HR 219 IS NOT IN PLACE NOW to provide the surplus we need—-it will be bankrupt in 2010 or 2012. They want to do an irresponsible bailout which will bankrupt us as well, but they want to BAILOUT BUSINESSES but when it comes to doing something “good’ for WE THE PEOPLE they don’t want to do anything.
If, as Obama says, “the whole point” is to have spent a lot, then no doubt it really is, as these reporters say, an “achievement” to have spent a lot.
