The Washington Post babbled again today about Obama inheriting a huge deficit from Bush. Amazingly enough, a lot of people swallow this BULL.
So once more, a short civics lesson.
Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democratic Party.
For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budgets.If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.
If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.
In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.
When will Mr. Obama take responsibility for what he has done? When he is re-elected!!! don't let that happen.
There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on! This is your chance to make a difference. Stay Focused, Connected, Informed & Inspired.

Mr. Obama Working Hard To Reduce The Deficit
Friday, July 29, 2011
Debt Ceiling Negotiations
We have all heard the saying "the devil is in the details", well that seems to be the truth here. The Democrats and Mr. Obama are trying to make the Republicans look like the bad guys, especially those who are part of the tea party movement. The Dems in the House and Senate yesterday could be heard across Washington saying that the Tea Party Republicans were holding the people of America "hostage". Now they are calling us terrorists.
This is absolutely blasphemous. The democrats are the ones who have held the budget hostage for more than 800 days, yes, that is more than two years. Yet they berate the Republicans for trying to save this country from the continued destructive direction we are headed. We all know that Washington has a spending problem. They like to spend too much of our hard earned money and then they want more. When will they reach the point of no return? Meaning, when will it become so obvious tat there is no more money for them to spend/ You can only tax so much, are they going to confiscate 100% of the money from the "rich?" Look what has happened in the past when nations began to re=distribute the wealth. The USSR (no longer a nation) took the wealth and began to re=distribute until the people that they swore to help were in worse poverty than before.The same has happened to every socialist nation or communist nation through out history. But still, we run head first toward that very destruction. Why?
Well the answer to that is very simple. When man thinks he is more important than God and more capable of running this world than He, there is gong to be trouble. God set the standard when He said "you will have no other god's but Me." However, the elitists of this world will claim there is no God and that man has the ability to rule himself and others who are to stupid to rule themselves. Who are the stupid to these people? Those of us who believe in God! We are ridiculed and laughed at and oppressed by the tyranny of so called government. The leaders of government believe they are god and that we should all bow down to them because they will make sure we have everything we need. No need for personal responsibility the government will be responsible for you and your decisions. don't worry about anything, just give us complete control over the choices of your life and everything will be just fine. This is nothing new, it started way back when Adam and Eve decided that they wanted to be just like God.
so your kids come home from school and say we talked about creationism in science today? NO! Government schools give no room for honest debate they simply take the theory of evolution and deem It truth so they don't have to deal with God. Out of sight, out of mind.
So here we are, in a situation that has put the freedoms of this country in jeopardy. You want freedom and yet you take government handouts. I am not talking about Social Security and Medicare, but I am talking about all the socialist programs that have caused people to lose their dreams and ambitions. Where are the dreamers, the inventors, the go getter's, who built this country on hard work and opportunity? Where are the people who explore and create? Where are the winners? They are left in the dust by a society that has put God away and said that only the "well educated elite" can have anything. If you believe in God you are ignorant and incapable of moving up in this world. I think that is what is holding the people of America hostage today. We are not allowed to think anymore. We have to accept as truth whatever the government and the schools tell us. We are to stupid to know the truth.
Well I am tired of being oppressed by this government and it's left wing schools and the unions that steal from the members to fund more of the progressive agenda that continues to teach our children that the government is god and they can only survive by being followers. STAND UP AMERICA AND FIGHT BACK!!! Especially those of you who call yourselves followers of Christ. Take back what is rightfully God's and take back your dignity.

Mr. Obama's Posse
I wasn't going to post this weekend but I just heard an interview with a former Obama staff person. She said that Mr. O has bent over backwards in the debt negotiations and the Republicans have not given anything. What the heck is she talking about. Obama has not offered one single legitimate idea in this process and is demanding that the Republicans give in to his tax increases.
Personally I am sick of all these people giving Obama a free pass. He has done nothing less than add 5 trillion dollars to the debt in less than 3 years and he has the gaul to say the only way to fix this is to raise taxes, without spending cuts mind you.Republicans have passed a budget that would save medicare and social security and also cut 6.4 trillion in the next ten years. Which is better? do nothing per Obama or cut spending?
Republicans in the House have also passed Cut, and balance, which would force the government to balance its own budget and stop the increase in spending without having the money to spend. Don't you think that is more reasonable than increasing spending without thinking of the consequences?
Think about history. Herbert Hoover became President at the beginning of the Great Depression and increased spending by 50%. Franklin D Roosevelt gave us the New Deal spending more money by giving freebies to the poor and raising taxes to pay for his reform. The Great Depression did not end until after WWII and at that point we had to cut spending because there were not enough people working to pay the government debt.
Where are we today?
For all of you Obama supporters, stop giving him a free pass and look at the facts. We are doomed if we continue down this same path. We must balance our national budget just like at home. And we must get people back to work. Without those two things in the agenda we will not be a free country in the next three years.

Gatlinburg Tennessee
Hi to all who read my blog. I have been spending the last week in the beautiful Gatlinburg area. The Westgate Smokey Mountain Resort is absolutely wonderful. If you ever want to visit simply email me at kenfr3230@gmail.com and I will help you get a special rate.
It has been hot here but that is not an issue. We have been to the Smith Family Theater and saw the Smith Brothers. It was a good show, I would rate it 8 out of 10. A definte must see if you are in town.
Hiking in the mountains is a great experience. We went to Cades Cove and saw some of the old homes and churches. Then we hike back to Abrams Falls, 2.5 miles in and 2.5 miles back out. I thought I would die, but I made it, bad heart and all. If you do the hike make sure you take more than one water bottle and a good pair of hiking shoes.
It is always busy here but the only place we had to wait a long time was Wendy's. The Apple Barn is worth the trip and the food at the Applewood restaurant is wonderful.
Just a six hour drive from Dayton, Ohio and well worth the trip.
I know this is not why you read this blog and next week I will be back to my regular writings, but I thought a review of our vacation would be good.

Mr. Obama's Rhetoric
Today Mr. Obama gave another speech, the media called it unprecedented to have two press conferences in the same week. However, all he is doing is saying the same things over and over again, getting more press coverage for his weak ideas while the Republicans get very little press.
Me. Obama once again, said he would be willing to make spending cuts if the Republicans will allow for tax increases. But he never says what he will cut. Smoke and mirrors. He says what people want to hear and then foes not follow through. Why should we trust his word. Remember the bailout? Where did that money go, the money that was to stimulate the economy? It went to Big Car business and Big Banks. O and yes to many unions so they could keep their employees working and paying union dues so they could turn around and give large donations to the Democratic party. For those of you who continue to be unemployed and to the newly unemployed, where is your bailout? O that's right, 96 weeks of benefits. Has that made you rich or even kept your head above water?
Our country is drowning in a mountain of debt and all the President can say is raise taxes on the rich. How does that work? Let's use a little common sense here. Let's say we do raise the taxes on the rich, for example big oil. they currently have an 8% profit margin and that goes to the stock holders, some of which are middle class Americans. but we are going to raise their taxes anyway. What happens? Gas prices go up! Common sense, they are not going to let their stock holders hold the bag because they will lose invested money that is used to explore and develop oil or new sources of energy. Who gets hurt? Middle and Poor Americans. When gas hits $4.00 a gallon many of us cannot afford to do any of the extras. We eat out less. we buy only what is necessary and many other people are affected by the drop in consumer spending. Another example, Farms. When their costs go up do they eat that extra expense or do they pass that on to the consumer? Common Sense, Farmers are in business to make a profit so the can feed their families and have some of the nicer things in life. By The Way, many Farmers are in the rich class because their farms produce more than $250,000 dollars a year, so they are going to have a tax increase. Example 3, Walmart. They are going to have to pay more taxes so what do they do to maintain the profit margin that they need to keep open stores and distribution centers? Common Sense, They will have to cut employees and you know how you have to wait in line now. So you can see that we have a vicious cycle here, taxes go up, prices go up, more people lose their jobs and then we have even less going to the government to pay for all the pet projects.
Our Government is currently bringing in about 203 billion dollars a month and spending about 327 billion. We definitely have a problem. But if we raised the taxes on all people making more than $250,000 to 100% we could not make up the 130 billion short fall each month. We must create jobs so that more people are paying taxes. Not Minimum wage jobs, but real jobs with future and the government cannot and will not do that. We must get government out of the way of the job creating free market and see what happens. It will take some time but if we reduce the size and scope of government, we would be able to reduce the deficit to a reasonable level within 10 years. Doesn't that sound like common sense?
Mr. Obama your rhetoric is no longer needed or wanted, get out of the way of real progress.

Taxes On Small Business
Can you believe the nerve of the Obama administration telling us that tax increases on small business will add to the revenue and create jobs. Also, They want us to believe that taxes are necessary so that govenment doesn't have to shrink. This is the Truth "Democrats want to destroy this great nation, not build it."
WAKE UP AMERICA!
