Daschle Pick: More Proof Obama is a Hypocrite

The latest of Obama's decisions is mounting proof that he is a "do as I say, not as I do" President. It is perhaps the single greatest indicator of a poor leader; a crack in his character and one of my predictors that he is going to fail.

The decision is his pick for the health and human services secretary, Tom Daschle. Dashle just forgot to pay about $120,000 in taxes. So for one of Obama's nominees it's called a mistake, for Leona Helmsley it's called tax evasion.

Ironically it comes from the Democrats who feel they should tax Americans to save the poor, as long as someone else pays the taxes, because guys like Daschle don't have to. This is the type of unethical behavior that Obama would reel against had it not been someone he wanted to appoint.

This must be what Obama means of it's a brand new day in Washington, and how he is going to change things. Can you imagine one man single-handily destroying an already crippled America?

Another TAX Disguised as Helping Children (D)

Senator Rodney Tom (D) is proposing a $1.00 per pack cigarette tax saying he wants to make cigarettes so expensive that high school kids can't afford them.

Who is going to challenge that idea? He's saving the kids right? Another do-gooder bleeding heart liberal that thinks he is smarter than the kid's parents and government needs to step in and help these poor misguided high school students.

It's just another tax. It's just another way that the Democrats want to get their grubby hands on your money.

If Senator Tom is really serious about doing what he says, then impose a minimum price that cigarettes can be sold for and remove all taxes. So if you think High school students can't afford $7.00 per pack then pass legislation that mandates a pack of cigarettes must be sold for a minimum of $7.00 and remove your tax.

And one last word for you Senator Tom: the public does not need to be saved by you. We will do just fine when you get out of our lives. No saving needed here.

Obama Speaks, Dow Falls

President Obama has been spewing venom towards Wall Street the past few days, and now he is working to cripple business by supporting labor unions. Today he said, "Organized labor is not the problem, it is the solution."

It is the solution to get us moving towards Socialism, not the solution to rehabilitating the economy.

The market reacted. The Dow Jones closed today at about 8,000 points, a strong psychological support. I predict that we are ready for another big slide especially if Obama keeps up his current policies and rhetoric. His legacy may be single-handily destroying a crippled US economy.

Labor Gets a Boost from Obama

Today labor unions got a boost from Obama's formation of a "Middle Class Families and Organized Labor" task force. They have cited how FDR's programs created the working class movement through organized labor.

Obama appointed VP Biden to head up the task force. They are launching a website called www.strongmiddleclass.gov

Obama and Biden keep talking about how this is going to be a cornerstone of the economic recovery plan and that this is going to strengthen our economy.

From my standpoint, I don't know one business owner that wants to operate under the constraints of organized labor. If I owned a business that wanted to go union, I would close it. Look at Boeing. Why do you think that they are laying off workers and outsourcing to other countries? Labor unions break companies. Unions foster complacency not productivity.

"People want a white house that creates an environment where the middle-class share in the success of corporations." Joe Biden.

Obama Too Hot for His Suit Jacket

Staffers report that Obama has the oval office heat turned up so hot you could "grow orchids". This revelation comes on the heels of his campaign promises to be more green and that America should tun down their thermostats.

Great leaders lead by example, Obama's mantra: "Do as I say, not as I do."

WA State Gay Rights

Washington State legislators Sen. Ed Murray and Rep. Jamie Pedersen are working to re-introduce a Gay Marriage bill this session.

Everyone has their cause, and I suppose the time spent for Murray and Pedersen is better spent on Gay Marriage than working towards balancing the budget.
