Obama gave another hateful speech eariler this afternoon...in this one he basicly bashed Congress for the problems with the economy. I am sorry... I do realize that Congress played a role but, I just keep drawing focus to that damn failed Bail-out plan, the housing market crash along with a couple other misguided programs all of which Obama pushed for. The ripple effect of all of this has in turn crashed the stock market, lowered our Credit rating and caused a Global Panic.
Obama likes to brag
I seem to recall Obama boasting how good it was and how hard he worked to make it happen and all the good it would do this great nation ...Which for some reason everytime anything good occurs-Obama just loves to boast and brag about himself . Yet when something fails or goes wrong Obama never seems to take any of the blame...
I might need to dig thru the few books without pictures that I have read over the years, but if I recall properly it was 'Freedom: Credos from the Road' by Ralph Hubert "Sonny" Barger. I wish I could quote it word for word, but the drift was -If you made a mistake - tell your friends you did make that mistake. They will respect you alot more than if you act like a know it all! Maybe Mr. Barger will be kind enough to send Obama an autographed copy of that book!
Obama's thinks your an idiot
After watching Obama's speech today I have come to realize that he thinks the american people are just total idiots.
First off I have Nothing against Ford products. Anyone that knows me - knows I have owned my fair share of Ford trucks over the years. A few Ford Muscle cars and well, my first car was a nasty green two door 1969 Ford Falcon!
Obama made an odd comment about how the Koren people need to be driving Fords. Most foriegn cars that we are driving here are not as foriegn as one might be lead to believe. and-Most American cars are NOT as american as most might think!
Here is why I made that statement; I used to drive an 18 wheeler, during that time on the road I hauled alot of car parts across this nation. I would be sent down to the Mexican Border to snag axles for a Ford plant, those axles were made in Mexico and then hauled across the border. Other times I would pick up engines and transmission from Cali. that I then would take to a GM plant up north and sometimes I would pick up engines/transmissions for Dodge plants.
My point is while their name sake is American, most of the parts that make up these "American" cars are coming from across our nations borders. So we are a global market. Obama should NOT be bashing the Global market place, but instead be should helping to correct the problems here in our nation.
Alabama the Great!
Here in Alabama - we have hard working men and women gainfully employed at what Obama is calling a foriegn car plant. These Car Assembly Plants are located in Alabama... Last I checked the Civil war is over! So, Mr. Obama ,Alabama is no longer a Foriegn Country, we are part of the good old USA once again and have been so for many years.
Here is the thing. I have hauled parts for Honda in Licoln,Al picked up their supplies in KY, I also hauled freight for the Mercedes plant in Vance, Al. Did you know at that time their bumpers were being make in Huntsville, Al..(Dont know if they still are-they were talking about moving closer to Vance).
From what I have seen, some of these so called Foriegn cars are more american than any of the ones we are currently calling American Cars. An American car to me is one built in America with mostly parts made in the Good old USA!
Yea-Yea, I do realize the "owners" are based in a foriegn country but lets be real. We need decent paying job and good affordable automobiles, that provide all the things we want and need in a New car. Since I live in Alabama I am more focused on the automobile assembly plants that are employing my Alabama neighbors, than the Car Plants up north or across the ocean.
Dont get me wrong. I am all for buying American, but what is more American. A car with 70% of the parts/labor built in America but has Foriegn car name or a car with an American name but only has 40% of the parts/labor done by American workers. Our Society seems to be a bit fuzzy on what really is made in America. Hell maybe I need to rethink some of my views on this subject.
We don't need extra taxes!
Once again Obama is trying to rally the American people with his speech today. He is trying to con us into getting our Congress people to slap some extra taxes to big business.
I wish everyone would take a second to think about that-I mean really think. Any extra taxes tagged onto the cost of doing business will be directly carried over to the consumer by that business. So this tax idea needs to be stopped dead in its tracks. Unless you want to pay more at the store for products you currently buy.
Hey Obama! We dont need extra taxes. We don't need your forced Healthcare plan your so proud of. What America needs is Jobs! What can we build that the Gobal market will want and be willing to buy? Right now we are to much of a retail nation.
When did we toss the idea of an honest days pay for an honest days work to the side?
