President of the United States or Pitchman of the United States...

So, does the President of the United States really feel compelled to be on television all the time? This guy gets more coverage than anyone I have ever seen. Is he more interested in being a celebrity or running this country. Also, when did the President become the main "pitch man" of the United States...I mean Billy Mays has been dead less than a month and the President is trying to take his spot. Seriously, I can see Barack selling health care right now on late night television..."act now and not only do you get billions of stimulus but you get 1 trillion...that's right 1 trillion in healthcare costs...but act now this offer only lasts until August!"

This stuff is bordering on lunacy. When have we changed the fundamental direction and idea of our country in less than 6 months...not only is that dangerous...it is wrong. It is time that we all stand firm and tell our elected officials that it is time to slow this President down.

Duh...It's a Job's Bill...

So, now the Cap and Trade scheme is not an environmental protection piece of legislation...now it is a "job's bill". Can someone please tell me how increasing the price of everything creates jobs? I think this flies directly in the face of conventional economic theory. If you increase the price of goods, consumers (that would be us) buy less. When consumers buy less, producers produce less...which means they need less employees. Thus, unemployment increases. This is not rocket science...this is fundamental economics.

I have really had enough of all of this. First, the Economic Stimulus legislation was going to save the economy and keep unemployment from increasing. Remember all the scary figures President Obama threw out? If the legislation was not passed unemployment could approach double digits. Interestingly enough...the legislation was passed and guess what...unemployment is approaching double digits (9.5%). Vice-President Biden laid it out clearly..."we guessed wrong". Beautiful...our elected leaders are "guessing".

Now, we are trying to pass health care...climate change legislation...and a whole slice of the liberal agenda. Seriously, do we really want the government to control health care? Look at the great success of the government managing your retirement funds (Social Security)...it is almost bankrupt. Or we can look at the wonderful job the government does with Medicare. Medicare is so bad that most doctor's won't even touch it.

Let's be honest...what do you expect to get when you have a bunch of elected officials passing legislation that they have not even read...much less researched. This is egregious stuff folks. Passing legislation without reading it is tantamount to complete and absolute failure to perform their basic job functions. I am absolutely ashamed of our elected "officials" right now. We need to throw all of these fools out of office as quickly as possible before they bankrupt and destroy our nation. We need elected officials that understand the foundations of our democracy and understand that they are servants of the people.
