You've been duped, and it's all your fault

Published on July 21, 2009 By CharlesCS In Politics

Try as I might, I just can't bring myself to see why so many still believe Obama will save the world, or at least the US. What is it about a man who few knew anything about, who had done very little, who has hardly any experience and who the only thing he has going for him is the incredible ability to keep up with a TelePrompTer that has so many people almost worshiping him?

Well, all I can say is that if you still think Obama is the answer to all of our problems, you need to get your head exam-ed. Just to give you an idea, here are some of the things being paid by the "stimulus package" that was suppose to save our economy, jobs and our country from the "worst financial crisis since the Great Depression":

- $2.2 million to the Seneca Foods Corporation in Marion, NY for "fruit, canned;" the same company received another contract worth $196,797 also, for "fruit, canned"

- $4.8 million for "frozen, sliced ham"

- $5.3 million for "deli-style turkey breast" from the Jennie-O Turkey company

- $5.5 million in "canned fruit" from the Del Monte Corporation

- $16.8 million in "canned pork" from Lakeside Foods Inc

- $971,711.42 to "replace pond liners" at the Garrison Dam National Fish Hatchery in Cole Harbor, N.D.

- $193,077 for a "double-vault toilet building" at the Hoyer Campground in Spokane, Wash.

- $254,000 for "pre-fabricated restroom facilities" in Atlanta, Ga.

- $487,944 for "toilet buildings and vaults" in the Pike and San Isabel National Forest

- $17,110 in hotel bills at a Marriott Hotel in Arlington, Va., for the Employment Standards Administration's annual "Prevailing Wage Conference."

- $1.8 million for the "renovation of Slate Hill Barn and Hay Shed" in Front Royal, Va. According to the database the money was requested by the Smithsonian Institution.

- $326,304 for "roadside vegetation removal" in the Six Rivers National Forest in Eureka, Calif.

- $928,194.50 to nine different firms to provide an "increased level of effort for dtv [digital television] installation"

- $25.3 million for the National Institutes of Mental Health to study schizophrenia

- $65 million for NASA's James Webb telescope project

- $20 million for "sediment removal" at the EPA's Iron Mountain Mine Superfund site

- $6,066.18 to buy "three laptop computers" for the National Fish and Wildlife Service

- $4,250 for "short-term vehicle rental" from Enterprise Rent-A-Car in order to "run errands" in Kings Canyon National Park in King's Canyon, Calif.

- $840 to "disassemble" one desk and "properly reassemble and relocate" 2 other desks in Reston, Va.

I don't know about you but I'm sure glad my taxes are being so well spent. I mean I'm glad we'll have all these new toilets and restrooms at these parks. Imagine if some employees in these Enterprise rentals happen to eat to much of the deli-style turkey breast, sliced ham, canned fruit and canned pork as they were checking out the new replacement pond liner and had the need to go to the restroom and happen to be passing by these new toilets and restroom. Talk about a relief. Then after that they could finish with the roadside vegetation removal while checking out the Slate Hill Barn and Hay Shed and then disassemble" one desk and "properly reassemble and relocate" 2 other desks and once done they can go relax at their hotels and browse the Internet on their new laptops and use the new dtv installation to watch a TV show about NASA's James Webb telescope project because after all of this you just might want to make sure sufficient research is done for schizophrenia, you never know if you might need it.

I guess we can ignore the facts that Obama promised to save jobs (which he hasn't), keep unemployment at 8% (which it isn't), keep lobbyist our of his Administration (which he hasn't), make friends with Iran and N Korea thru diplomacy (which hasn't worked), close down Guantanamo Bay within a year (which does not seem likely anymore and don't even know they gonna do with those locked up in there), bring the troops home from Iraq fast (which it's obvious he already broke), not tax the poor and middle class (which no one seems know where middle class stops and rich begins or to be able to explain how he won't tax them with the cap and trade and health bills he's rushing thru Congress), or even be a transparent Administration (yea right, we haven't even see his birth certificate yet).

Yea, who cares that the Obama Administration has screwed up and lied more in 6 months than Bush did in 8 years and will cause far more damage that Bush could ever. $23 trillion, that's how much some out there estimate Obama will put our debt at. Sounds a bit exaggerated, personally I would put it somewhere around 5 to 10 trillion and that my friends is still a number most people never knew existed or understand or could even say how many 0s there are in it. As one Senator put it, if you spend $1 million every day from here to Christ birth it would not even come to 1 trillion.

I don't know about you but I never believed Obama from day one and if at this point you still think he can fix our problems, that he can make things better, that his policies are what this country needs to succeed; then maybe you will also benefit from the "$25.3 million for the National Institutes of Mental Health to study schizophrenia", cause you are either crazy or stupid, and that is my personal opinion, and probably the opinion of those on this poll:

Trust is suppose to be earned not given and from what I can see Obama is losing the trust that was given to him because in my opinion, he did not earn it.

We need to un-ban Col Gene & turn him loose on BO. I suspect even Gene would be missing Bush about now.

LOL, I would love to see him come back. I would love to see him explain Obama's actions. That way I can go back to his own articles and point out everything Bush did that he said was wrong, ilegal or down right inhumane.

People like him still blame Bush. They keep saying it's not Obama's fault. Obama is the one who pushed this so-called stimulus farce, and he's the one with the huge budgets.

I wonder what all the canned food is for... it almost sounds as if certain government run groups are preparing for some long term disaster. Yes, it's my personal assumption, but it's something I am curious about.

Did you notice how angry he sounded today? Very very angry as if he feels he's being crossed. This is going to be interesting.

Now that he has demonstrably shown just how inept, corrupt, hyperpartisan and full of crap he is, its no wonder his popularity is crashing to earth like a meteor...at least everyone is starting to wake up to what us "right wing nutjobs" have suspected all along... Oh yeah what ever became of that Col. Gene specimen, he was a laugh riot.

I'm going to e-mail these to my Representative today, and see what he has to say about them. He was against the stimulus.

I'd really like to hear what a liberal has to say about Obama now.

I'd be the first to say i don't like calling people names when debating something, it's a very childish thing to do. But I am at a point that I am willing to call them idiots right off the back because they cried so much during Bush's 8 years and here they are in all their hypocritical glory giving Obama a pass for doing the same things or worse.

Obama promised changed but all he has done is act just like another politician. The irony of it is that when Clinton and Bush tried passing stupid policies that would be expensive or freedom robbing, our country was financially stable, Obama does not have that luxury yet he is trying to spend more than both the Presidents put together at a time when we should be trying to save ourselves first.

Sometimes I suspect that what Obama really wants is to bring the USA to its knees. What if Obama honestly isn't trying to help the country at all? What if his real motive is to destroy it?

while nobody knows another's motivation, I believe his actions seem to be taking us down the path of destruction. When he's done with us, America will not be the same. We are heading right into a one world order...and fast. Look at the whole picture...

He was conceived by a Muslim leftist radical and an American mother with no known Christian beliefs as many of our past Presidents were. During his youth, he was influenced by radical leftists who hated America and who were trying to overturn our government (or change it) to establish a Socialist regime. As an adult he went to one of the most radical churches in the nation for 20 years where he claims to have received Christ yet listened to the anti-America message of hate where the pastor of that church called on God to "damn America" instead of bless her. His start in politics was as a community organizer in one of the most corrupt and liberal districts in America and then elected to the Senate, where in just two years he proved his philosophy by producing the most liberal voting record in the Senate.

He knows exactly what he's doing. And that's what scares the people who are really paying attention.

My opinion is that he actually believes the BS he is trying to sell to us. What's sad is that he probably thought he had this country in the palm of his hand when he won the election and saw he had a majority in both houses and now his own people are the ones getting in the way of his policies.

Funny, I don't find that to be sad at all.
