B.O. Can't Create Jobs, But he Sure Can Manufacture a Distraction, Can't He?

Anyone who has ever read my blog knows how I feel about Trayvon Martin. I think if he had been home, where he should have been, he would be alive today.  Instead, while on another suspension from his school, he went out for skittles and who knows what else, and chose to attack an armed man. One of my favorite lines from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade -"He chose poorly."
Before that was the stupid fake hearing that Pelosi tried to create with Sandra Fluke.  You remember her? She was the activist that they tried to pass off as just another law student.  The paid activist that went to a Catholic school and was shocked that they would not provide her birth control.  She quoted a price of about three thousand dollars for her birth control. Unfortunately for her and Ms. Pelosi's fake hearing, no one did any research and the truth that she could have purchased her pills for twelve dollars a month-or less than $150 a year was quickly made public.
Now we can add the incredibly ignorant comments from the White House Operative Hilary Rosen who said that in her opinion, Anne Romney has never worked a day in her life.  Mrs. Romney only stayed home, managing her home, raising five sons, and keeping things running while her husband was a businessman and then a politician.  No work there.  Ms. Rosen and her partner have twins. Am I to believe that neither of these woman are staying home to raise these children? Perhaps they should have just gotten a dog, as neither wants to stay home and make the sacrifices that Mrs. Romney has chosen to make.
But the worst part is that all of these things are simply distractions.  Distractions from the left, distractions from B.O.'s White House,  all attempts at smoke and mirrors to keep the collective minds from the miserable job he is doing as the CEO of our Republic.
What is the real unemployment in your area?  Not the pretend, cooked number that they release every month in D.C.,but the real number when you factor in the underemployed, the people who have run out of benefits, and the people who have lost hope.  In my area it is over 17 %.  I bet it is close to that where you are also.
Don't be distracted by the steady line of baloney that the current administration is so good at manufacturing. It is only more crises that B.O. will not let go to waste.  Keep your eye and your thoughts on the economy.  You'll thank me later.

Get Your Volt Now, Before They Are Gone....... Oh Wait......

I read yesterday with more than a little disgust that GM is not going to be producing any more of that VOLT crap until they get rid of some of what they have in stock. So that means, until the government starts buying them with the left hand and hiding it from us with the right hand, another one of B.O.'s brilliant plans is a big fat zilch.
How many does that make now?  There was Solyndra.  I recall B.O. making a big splashy news conference about the wonders of solar energy and the folks who were making it happen there.(FYI when B.O. shows up with his sleeves strategically rolled up one quarter, no tie, drops the 'g' from words, and than throws around the word 'folks', batten the hatches 'cuz he is campaignin'!) Then what happened? That's right, we wasted a half a billion dollars on a company that bought lots of cool gadgets and went belly up.
And then there was Light Squared.  They did what Solyndra did, but with half the money. I guess when you only lose a quarter of a billion tax dollars, you seem like the hero.
And now we have B.O. making another "just folks" stop by the GM Volt plant that you and I own, and he is telling us that in five years (God forbid) when he quits, he is going to buy one himself.  I guess his bunch of brown shirts was too busy goose stepping on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to give him the heads up on how crappily the Volt is selling.
I would be laughing if I hadn't already spent about $256,000 per on each of the little flame balls already produced.
And now, B.O. is trying to move a little right and say he wants an "all of the above" approach to energy policy. Poop. He has closed off most of the places where the oil is.  He has said no to the 'Keystone Pipeline'. He has said no to drilling permits for American companies, but ironically has allowed other countries to start drilling.He has said no to more refineries.  He is doubling down on his green energy myth and no amount of common sense seems to dissuade him.
B.O. stinks. Remember that in November.  You'll thank me later.

Trayvon Martin:Newest Poster Child for the Left

I don't know all the facts surrounding the shooting of Trayvon Martin.  Unfortunately, the MSM is more than happy to try and tell me what I should think about it, though.  I have heard countless calls for the arrest of Mr. Zimmerman, if this weren't an election year with B.O. desperately trying to maintain his cushy digs, I have no doubt that he would be calling for Eric Holder to stop transferring witnesses in his Fast and Furious debacle, and have them take a politically necessary look into what appears to be self defense.
While I have no idea what drives Mr. Zimmerman to follow people that he deems suspicious, I was more curious when I found out that the drive by media was neglecting to mention the wounds that Mr. Zimmerman received.  If the guy he was following didn't give him those wounds, who did?  If he did give him those wounds, why?
 I saw a liberal posing with a hooded sweatshirt in solidarity with the boy who was killed.  If it turns out that he was shot in self defense, will they beat someone up in solidarity as well?  Maybe, B.O. will also begin sporting a hooded sweatshirt.  I know that he cares, he took the time to mention this child over the weekend, saying that if he had a son, he might look like Trayvon Martin.  In my opinion, if B.O. had another child, it too would look the Yeti that he calls his wife.
Before I go into a rant about the bone deep lack of attractiveness in the Soetero/Obama family, let me draw a parallel.  Does anyone remember Rodney King?  He was the drugged up loser that attacked over six policemen when they pulled him over.  Now the msm went to great pains to edit the tape of the confrontation between Mr. King and the police.  They removed the entire part of him choking, hitting and kicking the police.  This is the tape that they released to the general public.  Of course, the jury saw the entire unedited version and found the police not guilty.  The people in Los Angelos lost their minds.  Their righteous indignation over this theoretical injustice compelled many of them to leave their homes and go steal a new television and other valuables. It also drove them to hurt completely innocent people and set their own neighborhoods on fire.  How smart is that?
So before you get your panties in a bunch, consider that the msm has a history of lying if they think that it will give them a nice juicy ratings bump.  They are no longer happy reporting the news, they also want to create and dictate the conversation.  Don't trust the media or their agenda.  You'll thank me later.  

Dear Mr. Obama Here are Some Small Business Frustrations

Dear Mr. Obama,
I would like to hire someone to work part time in my store. I would like to take a whole day off during the week, but I would be happy to take a half day off.  The way it is now, I work somewhere between 65 and 80 hours a week.  I'm not hiring anyone right now, though. I'll keep working 14 hours a day because I don't know what will happen regarding Obamacare.
If I hire someone to give me a break, what will I have to do about their insurance?  Will I have to provide it?  Will I have to provide other things like birth control if I do?  Also, what happens if I expand my store?  Not having mastered being in two places at one time, I would have to hire people full time, and then what is my Obamacare liability?
I want to expand, I think that I could do well in some of the small towns that are close by.  But.......
But I don't know what kind of insurance that would cause me to buy.
But I don't know if it will cost me more than I would make with another store because of that.
But I don't know if it will be worth the aggravation and the extra paper work.
I just don't think that the aggravation would be worth it. I would like to expand, giving myself and others a better life. The biggest reason that I am not doing that is sitting there like a 500 lb guerrilla in the room.
Is it any wonder that real unemployment is sitting at 26%?? I am talking about the people who are out of unemployment after two  years, out of options and working anything they can to keep their families in their homes with food to eat and the lights on.
I don't want more tax credits and flim flam, Mr. Obama. I want to be able to hire one person, maybe two and have a whole day off.  Can you think about that while you and the fam are enjoying the next vacation?  You'll thank me later.

I Won't Vote for Romney, and You Can't Make Me

I don't care for the giant push to make Mitt Romney the nominee for President of the United States of America. I don't care if he thinks it is his turn, or if the establishment in the Republican National Committee thinks it is his turn.  I don't care that he has been running for office for the last five years, I don't want Romney on the ticket.  Mitt Romney on the ticket guarantees four more years of B.O.  The msm who is soooo in love with Mitt right now, will turn on him like rabid pitbulls toward a guy in a meat suit.  The very media that tells me he is the most electable-for now- will run expose after expose on him. They will talk about the dog in a crate on his roof. They will talk about the illegals he had working on his property. They will highlight the ten thousand dollar bet he so casually made with Rick Perry. He cannot win.
Mitt Romney depresses the base, the core constituents who do the grunt work. These are the people who ring the doorbells. These are the people who put the signs in their yards. These are the people who make or break your efforts.  You cannot just count on the conservative base to blindly follow where they are lead. We did that before with Dole and McCain. We are tired of being taken for granted, only feted when you need some grunt work or a donation.
I like Speaker Gingrich, even forgiving him for that idiot piece he did with Nancy Pelosi about global warming. He said he was wrong, he was, so I can move on.  I don't care if Fox News or any of the others tell me that Romney has it sewn up. I don't like him.He is a distinction without a difference from the lousy piece of work we have in there now.
I really respect Barbara Bush.  She is an amazing lady, and by far, one of the best-if not the best first lady we have had in the last thirty years. She endorsed Romney.  In fact, the list of those endorsing Romney grows every day, usually those who would like the process to stop, and Romney crowned the winner. I don't think I am the only one.  When I speak with other conservatives, I hear the same irritation in their voices.  If I could give one message to the RNC it would be this: stop taking conservatives for granted.  We will do the grunt work, but we want to be recognized and valued.  We are tired of holding our nose and voting for whoever it is that you think we should accept.  Those days are over, if you aren't careful, there could be a third party before you know it.  The tea Party isn't going away, get used to us.  You'll thank me later.

Nobel Peace Prize = Not Worth Diddly Squat

When the man who sat on a committee who decided to appropriate funds to create a network that would help the military stay in contact with each other took credit for inventing the internet, I laughed at him. I kept laughing as his defenders tried to walk back the statement and say he never in fact, used those words.  I saw him say it. Twice.
Then I watched this same piece of work fuss at me about "global warming."  He flew in on his private jet to fuss at me.  He lived in a home that consumed more energy that most small towns, but I had to buy a toilet that takes three flushes to do the job.  Global warming is about as real as "carbon credits."  Read an excellent book: Global Warming and Other Eco Myths. In plain language it debunks every craptacular theory that the control freaks from the green movement have tried to throw at you.
Also, I cannot say the phrase 'crazed sex poodle' without giggling my head off.  Seems that he was taking notes while his boss was diddling the help and suborning perjury.  Figures.
Finally, I skimmed his movie/ propaganda piece.  I shook my head when he was awarded a Nobel Prize.  I figured that it was more of the Left trying to tell me what I should be doing, while they had no intention of following those rules for themselves.  More of that 'do as I say, not as I do' stuff for which they are so famous .
But today I have been reading about an amazing woman. Her name was Irena Sendler. During World War II this amazing lady joined forces with 20 plus other people and while working as a plumber/helper she would hide babies in the bottom of her tool box and smuggle them out to freedom. She would drug older children and put them in bags with trash to get them out of the concentration camps.
These children were then passed on to others in the resistance movement and to safety.  She kept meticulous records of these children hidden in jars and buried in the yard.  Even though the Nazis found out and beat her so severely that her arms and legs were all broken and she suffered two concussions-when she was able, she continued saving the lives of these children.
Her name was Irena Sendler and she helped to reunite the children with the parents that survived the gas chambers.  This amazing woman, quite possible the bravest soul I have ever read about brings tears to my eyes as I try to imagine the courage that she must have had.  This living saint was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and lost to a man who gave a slide show about pseudo science that is now being investigated for fraud, as most of the "research" used to fabricate these lies was fraudulent.  Ask yourself if a Nobel Prize is anything more than a glorified gold star that is awarded to the most liberal idiot that can be found to spout their agenda.  You'll thank me later.

Napolitano is that French for Useless?

Every time I look at that Janet Napolitano I am amazed that someone who is so incredibly dumb has been able to get as far in the world as she has.  It's kind of like watching a real life, walking, talking Forrest Gump. I watched her on the Mexican border, trying to look like she gives a happy rat's butt about the illegal aliens that are flooding our country.
She rode around on a boat and looked at the places where the illegal aliens swim,walk, run across the border to steal jobs and drop anchor babies to continue leeching from us. Here's a crazy thought: DON'T GIVE AUTOMATIC CITIZENSHIP TO ANYONE BORN HERE!!! Most countries don't.
For that matter, make it a felony to hire an illegal alien. Make it a felony to rent to an illegal alien. Make it a felony to give benefits to an illegal alien.
Go to Juarez and try to get free housing, free food and free money.  Better yet, try doing that without one single paper giving you permission to be there, or the ability to speak Spanish.  Let me know how that works out for you, and I'll try to bribe a guard so that you can bathe once a week.
Do you know what happens if you are caught sneaking into Mexico from another country? Two words: bad things.  You go to jail. You go to a crap box jail that will make you appreciate the slums in our inner cities. Why does B.O. and his pals allow them to come here? Why isn't he worried about our rights, our culture, our way of life?
Is there anyone in B.O.'s administration who is capable of doing a good job? From the top down, I don't see it. Anyone who has read more than two paragraphs that I have written know how I feel about him, and the Marxists, socialists,incompetents,tax cheats and enablers that he chooses to surround himself with. You can tell a lot about a person by who they decide to surround themselves with.  This is a continuation of the go to bed with dogs, wake up with fleas theory.
The country better wake up soon. We don't have good choices running for the GOP nomination, other than Speaker Gingrich, I don't much care for the field, but anything we have will be better than what is there right now.  B.O. stinks.
Pay attention to what is going on with our government, it is getting too big, too controlling, too intrusive.  Stand up for your rights, or you'll bow to your new master.  You can thank me later.

Bad Tenants or Why I would Never Hire Sniders Painting LLC

I am new to the world of rental properties. I'll admit that straight away, I suffer from thinking that most people are basically as honest as I am.  Live and learn, I suppose.  I recently had an eye opening experience with a couple of people. They are a young couple, with a small child.  When they contacted me last year, they needed a place to live very quickly.  The place they were in supposedly had a mold problem that the owner would not fix.  Having been younger,once, I agreed to let them rent from me with a few caveats.
Now, not 8 months later, I am wiser by far.  I had to practically evict the brother that was only supposed to be there for three months.  Hint number one: never trust someone who always has an excuse for not keeping their word.
Second, I told them that I would be replacing some of the carpet over time.  The stairs I would be doing sooner, the upstairs landing as I got to it.  If this was a problem, I told them keep looking.  I ended up replacing the stairs carpet and they took it upon themselves to remove the upstairs carpet themselves. I guess their dogs crapping all over it was a motivator.The brand new carpet that I installed in the dining room will be replaced again, it is frayed and ruined in six short months.
Thirdly, I will be painting the walls, as the turd green paint that they put up, while I okay-ed the color with the understanding that it would go back to white before they left, is put on so poorly that it doesn't even go all the way up to the ceiling in places.
I had contacted the BBB in my area to complain about the job that was done on my walls, as the tenant assured me he was a professional, he worked for Snyder Painting LLC. Long story short, the BBB closed the case because Snyder Paint LLC said that their son wasn't working for them when he did this. He just used their truck. He used their paint. He used their equipment. He used their other employees. But he didn't work for them. Right. So the BBB closed the case because he said that. I'll be linking pictures of the job that this guy who only used their equipment, paint, truck and employees-but doesn't work for them in this blog.

Lastly, the same understanding was in place for the pepto bismol nuclear pink that they put upstairs.  Needless to say, the walls still glow. He was an employee for Snider Painting in Auburn, IN.  If he is any indication of the work they do, check for another company. Contact me if you want pictures of the nuclear pink mess they made upstairs.
Jon Snider painted this. He used the truck, paint, equipment and employees of Snider Paint LLC, but he wasn't their employee. Don't bother with the Better Business Bureau. They mediate as well as Snider Paint LLC paints.  You'll thank me later.

Women are Abusers, Too or Get Out Now Before She Ruins Your Life!!

I have many brothers and sisters, so no surprise I have many many nieces and nephews.  I love them all, even the ones that I don't like.  One in particular is causing me a great deal of concern, he seems to have lost his mind and married a controlling idiot.
This particular nephew- let's just call him Idiot Boy, is eighteen years old.  He reminds me of something that my dad, used  to say "Go out in the world now, while you know everything." Idiot Boy married a dandy.  I have seen pictures, and while I try not to judge based on a person's physical appearance, I don't think she had many choices when Idiot Boy came along.  She is a very domineering female, physically. She must outweigh him by about one hundred pounds.  She is older than he is by about five years.  Yes, you read that right. A 23 year old behemoth was dating my underage nephew until he was old enough to marry her without parental consent.  Now here is where it breaks my heart.  Within a week of being married, she is joined at the hip with him in every part of his life. He has no separate email, no separate phone, no separate life.  This plus sized wonder is in every facet of his business-personal and private.
I understand that you get that when you are married, but I also know that when someone comes on that strong, wanting to dominate that much of your life, you are looking at trouble. So because this foul piece of trailer trash has systematically cut off all contact he has with his family, I decided to post the warning signs of an abuser.  I hope that the nephew sees these and recognizes that he needs help.  I also hope that he knows I have a spare bedroom if he needs to get away quickly, and that his Mother would do anything for him.  The signs to look out for came from Ann Silvers and her website.  Get out now while you can, Idiot Boy, you'll thank me later.

Apologizing to the Wrong People

In the month of February, 2012, 24 people have died in Afghanistan, helping to ensure that these people have the freedoms that we enjoy.  There was an unfortunate incident where U.S. personnel burned the Muslim Holy Book, the Qua'rn.  They didn't know what it was, I guess they were too busy dodging bullets as they fought for the freedom of the Afghans  to learn the language.
In true B.O. fashion, he apologized to the Muslims who were so offended that they rioted.  This is standard procedure for our Apologist in Chief. I can only hope that he was bowing as he did it.  That seems to be his preferred posture for the United States of America.
I don't expect the brave soldiers over there to know the language.  They have too many more important things to do, like keeping themselves safe and out of harm's way.  They were given the task of burning these books that terrorists were using to communicate with each other.  They were burning these books that were dangerous to our mission over there.  They were doing what they have to do to keep themselves, and through them-us-safe.
The books that they were burning were in fact already desecrated as these terrorists were honoring this book by sending each other coded messages in them. So if I have this straight, burning defaced Qua'rns is bad, defacing those same holy books, meh. Maybe they should worry more about the terrorists who are marking these books up.
Luckily, the MSM which cannot cover the March for Life even after all these years, found a little ink to fan the flames of rioting in the Religion of Peace.  You guessed it, these people found the energy to be offended by an accident and so killed, burned and looted. Makes you yearn for the days of the Rodney King Riots when people found a chance to get some free stuff.
But did B.O. stand by our troops who volunteered to put themselves in harm's way for us?  Silly rabbit-that would be patriotic, and if there is one word that describes him, it isn't patriotic.  Nope.  Instead B.O. went into standard form and apologized. Again.
If he's going to be doing that, how about he apologize to the families of the 24 brave individuals who have given their lives this month alone so that this moron, this jackass, this totally unfit to run a lemonade stand-much less the greatest country on God's Green Earth can send his family on another multi milllion dollar vacation?
He is so out of touch, he makes me sick.  He doesn't get it, and he never will.  Remember this in November, you'll thank me later.
