Obama Fiddles While Texas Burns.

While President Obama was taping the Oprah Winfrey show, attending fundraisers to collect money for his re-election campaign and other affairs of state so critical to America's well being....... A runaway natural disaster is turning one of our states into cinders.

Texas has been burning up by wildfires that have destroyed over two million acres, obliterated over 900 buildings and so far killed two firefighters. But the federal government has turned a deaf ear to its pleas to turn Texas into a federal disaster area. If this isn't an environmental and social disaster just what is?

Texas Governor Rick Perry asked President Obama for help two weeks ago, in fighting the biggest fires in Texas history, so far Obama has not responded. FEMA is still trying to reply to the request for help from Texas. The problem, according to federal officials is no money.

But when another natural disaster occurred in Alabama caused by tornadoes, it was instantly jumped on by Obama when he took a short trip from Cape Kennedy to Alabama for photo ops. Amidst the rubble of Alabama and the flashes of hundreds of cameras and recorders, Obama could look presidential in declaring Alabama a federal disaster area and unleash millions in assistance to that state.

In the meantime Texas is still burning and has not received the much needed declaration from president Obama to say it a disaster and open it up to millions in federal assistance.

Is there some bad political blood between Governor Rick Perry of Texas and President Obama that is causing the citizens of the state of Texas to suffer? The Republican Governor of the red state has been a vocal critic of Obamas policies in the past.

The reason for a national government is to provide assistance to individual states that are facing catastrophes beyond their ability to fight alone.

Would the bluest states, the most indebted, highly unionized, most democrat receive the same response Texas is getting? Just think about it if Illinois, Connecticut, Delaware, California, or New Jersey were burning up for over two weeks would their letters for help get lost in the mail?

Unless our President wants to be saddled with the same lasting impression as Nero fiddling while Rome burned. He better act Presidential and help Texas.

Editors update today May 3: Texas U.S. Senators, Cornyn and Hutchinson have both requested the that the Obama administration declare Texas a disaster area due to over 7,000 out of control wildfires burning the state up.

Editors update today May 6: Texas still has no emergency declaration from the Obama administration. However President Declares Emergency for Louisiana, Feds Mobilize for flood response ( The state of Sen. Mary Landreau, whose vote for Obamacare was key to its passage.)

Donald Trump Says Obama is Protected by the Media

Donald Trump has many detractors, but most especially those in the liberal dominated media. They criticize his hair, his past marriages, a few of his failed business ventures, his successful reality show called "The Apprentice" and his brash style. But deep down, their criticism stems from his success and his honest bluntness when he speaks the truth.

In the liberal media world, it is bad to be successful in the business private sector, unless of course you are a far left billionaire who funds far left "media" organizations. In that case there are no boundaries to the leeway and protection they will afford you..

Of course there are "untouchable" elephants in the living room which are to be ignored in the liberal media world, including Obamas sealed off past, his many gaffes and the deplorable condition of our country under his leadership.

Listening to the cacophony of the mostly liberal media who try to denigrate Donald Trump and quell his message, you would think that a major victory was scored by Obama just because he presented a copy of certificate of live birth.

A question that is being overlooked, is why did it take Obama so long to unveil this piece of information?

Of course Obama said he needed to get past this annoyance of the birth certificate nonsense and get to the hard work of solving Americas problems at his press conference.

From the press conference he and Michele boarded Air Force One for an appointment with Oprah to do a show with her in Chicago. After that taping, a flight to New York where he attended 3 democrat fund raisers for the rest of the day and evening to schmooze and vacuum up campaign contributions......These are his highest priorities for our country?

I am assuming most of you reading this column didn't know that the President spent the entire day after his birth certificate news conference, doing an Oprah show and schmoozing with his fundraisers for his re-election.....Did you you read it in your local paper, see it on television, hear it on the radio?

While at a news conference yesterday, Trump fielded many questions from the assembled milieu of reporters, he took credit for Obama finally showing his birth certificate. But the most salient comment Trump made, which received little comment, was when he said the the media protects Obama.

Donald Trump speaks from his gut. He speaks for millions of Americans who are very concerned about the direction this country is heading under the present administrations leadership. He has the courage to take the heat from those in the media and the professional politicians who would like to silence him.

From getting ripped off by China, getting gouged by OPEC, being in 3 wars, "protecting" countries with our military and not being reimbursed, to sealed secrets of our Presidents past...Donald trumps direct style and message resonates with the American public.

How can we pull together when Obama pulls us apart?

When Obama ran for President the first time, he was the fresh face promising hope and change. He didn't have a record of accomplishment to match his flowery speeches. Many overlooked the vacuum of Obamas past qualifications & executive experience in their eagerness to elect the well spoken, but little known freshman Senator from Chicago.

This time is different, he will have to explain and defend his record as President of the United States....and he has a lot of explaining and defending to do. Blaming Bush for everything is not going to work anymore.

President Obama is in re-election mode and the rhetoric is getting ratcheted up. It is plain the President and his political advisers know he can't win by running on his record. So their default battle plan will be negative. The tactics will be classic divide and conquer. Use class warfare to split up the populace, pit one segment against the other, fracture the citizens and try to win the election.

We got a dose of those tactics when the latest budget was put forth. Immediately, the claim was made that old people would starve, children would be denied health care and people would be thrown out on the streets, yada yada yada, yawn....Obama himself was leading the charge and all of this in response to an attempt to balance the budget.

In a time when the citizens of the U.S. should be pulling together, they are being pulled apart for political manipulation. The "haves, ie: the "lucky" and the have nots" will be center stage. The entitlement classes are drawing their battle lines and Obama will take advantage of this.

The best leaders know that you appeal to the higher character of the people, inspire them to greatness. As President Kennedy said in his most inspirational speech: "Ask not, what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country". Now that's the way to galvanize the people.

President Obama, the country needs an inspirational leader. Be a uniter, not a divider.

The Left Has no Respect for Traditional Values

During this most holy of times for Christianity, when many are thoughtful and reverent of the true meaning of Easter, the left seems bent on insulting Christians all over the world with utter disrespect for their beliefs.

The not so subtle assault on traditions can be seen by the use of "Spring Spheres" in lieu of Easter Eggs, to Lady Gagas just released song titled "Judas", to "hunky Jesus" contests.

Gagas song is filled with lyrics that would make it repugnant to anyone of Christian belief. But doubly offensive when it is released at this most holy time of year.

Some excerpts from her song:

"I'm just a holy fool, oh baby he's so cruel / But I'm still in love with Judas, baby." "Jesus is my virtue," but "Judas is the demon that I cling to." "In the most biblical sense, I am beyond repentance / Fame hooker, prostitute wench, vomits her mind."

Lady Gaga's spokesmen said a video for the "Judas" song will be released on Easter Sunday. For maximum effect, she will be posing as Mary Magdalene. She is quoted as saying: "I feel like honestly that God sent me those lyrics and that melody...There's no way for something that pure to be wrong."

According to Brent Bozell of Media research center: "The Borgias," the new Showtime miniseries that dwells playfully on an adulterous, murderous pope" can be shown. Yet by contrast, Showtime had too much reverence for the Kennedy family, the darlings of the left, to accept the miniseries "The Kennedys." New York Times TV critic Alessandra Stanley joked, "Fortunately for Showtime, there don't seem to be any thin-skinned Borgia descendants with powerful friends who can lobby network executives."

From Lady Gaga, to Hollywood, to San Francisco, where the drag queens known as "Sisters of Perpetual Motion" will hold a "Hunky Jesus" contest on Easter, there is an assault on family/Christian values going on.

Interesting though that these "avante garde" artists, can mock Christianity without fear of repercussion. We have yet to see a movie,video, song, or contest from any of them that mocks the Muslim religion during one of their holiest of holy events. Will we be seeing a "Hunky Mohammed" contest around Ramadan time? I doubt it.

This just in from the Huffungton Post: Andres Serrano's Controversial Photograph 'Piss Christ' has been destroyed by "vandals" while on display in France. The controversial artist and hero of the left wasn't available for comment

Dick Morris Travels to Ireland: Is it more than just a vacation?

The brilliant Conservative strategist, Dick Morris and his Irish American wife Eileen, are visiting our Ireland for a vacation.

His Tweet before he left said:

"Off to Ireland with Eileen on vacation. Will tweet from that beautiful country now ruled by the right after the left screwed up its finances".

In Dick Morris style he has encapsulated the situation going on in Ireland with one sentence.

Since his trip started he has sent notes back extolling the beauty of the country, the food and wonderful people he has encountered.

But interspersed with the sightseeing notes, are deep political insights into the inner political goings on in America and what a precarious situation the world finds itself in, with the left in charge in Washington.

Dick Morris was Bill and Hillary Clintons confidante and main political strategist. Dick Morris with his strategic insights won the Whitehouse for Clinton and helped Clinton navigate through the political minefields of Washington DC. He honed the tactic of political triangulation.

But something happened to Morris while serving with the Clintons, disenchanted, he had an epiphany of sorts and resigned from their administration. He soon became a conservative fighting against Bill Clinton and later against Hillary with a zeal of almost religious convicition.

Dick Morris knows all of the intimate details of the Clintons and is wise in the ways of politics nationally and internationally. He is considered one of the most brilliant political strategists in the world and has traveled to democratic countries to work for political change...successfully.

Knowing how Mr. Morris is, raised my political antennae and made me ponder if there was more to his trip than just a sightseeing expedition. Did he have anything to do with last years stunning win by the "right" in Ireland? Is he laying the groundwork for another campaign?

Sometimes things aren't as simple as they appear.

Sean Hannity doesn't back down from liberals

Hugely popular Irish American journalist, Sean Hannity, keeps hammering away at what he sees the left is doing to America. From out of control spending, to directionless foreign policy, to dubious vetting of the President, the pugnacious Mr. Hannity doesn't back down.

He proclaimed that American journalism died during the 08 election, which saw Barack Obama win the Presidency. Hannity has claimed that Obama received a free ride from the rest of the media when it came to many of his past relationships with dubious individuals. He has brought to light a questionable business deal with Obamas long time associate, slum landlord and convicted felon, Syrian financier Tony Rezko.

On the Hannity show last night, Donald Trump claimed he has done hundreds of business deals in which he has and will will receive massive scrutiny from the media, especially if he runs for President. But he says the one real estate deal Obama did with Rezko, had many strange and puzzling aspects about it and should have been investigated by the media, but never was.

Never one to back down from his beliefs, Sean Hannity again brought up Obamas close association with Reverend Wright in which he was a member of Wrights Black Liberation Church for 20 years. Some of Wrights incendiary remarks included " Godd**n Amerikkka" soon after 911 occurred.

Sean Hannity was also instrumental in bringing up the fact that Obama had a close relationship with Bill Ayers, the convicted terrorist who set bombs off all over America. Those bombs caused damage to institutions, terror to the American public and some claim, his bombs caused death. Trump said during the interview, he is almost certain Bill Ayers was the ghost writer for Obamas first popular book, "Dreams From My Father".

http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/10/who_wrote_dreams_from_my_fathe_1.html

Mr. Hannity revealed that his network and bosses received strong pressure on them to rein him in during the Presidential elections. His network rejected the pressure and Sean continues on with his role as spearhead of the new 4th Estate, doing what the media is supposed to do, expose corruption and question the leaders.

Spring Spheres....The final insult.

Just when you think the secular progressives have gone as far as they can with the political correct gobbledygook, they come up with a new pretzel like way to separate our country from its foundation.

A Seattle public school no longer believes it is proper to call Easter Eggs, Easter Eggs...They are now officially "Spring Spheres".

Excuse me while I clutch my gun and my religion...but isn't this going a bit far?

No longer is it Easter Vacation, it is "Spring Break". "All Saints Day" aka "Demon Night" in some parts of the country is called Halloween. The "Christ" has been taken out of Christmas, just refer to it as Xmas from now on. The push is on to rename Columbus Day to "Indigenous Peoples Day", or "Dia de la Raza".

Two of our greatest Presidents birthdays Lincoln and Washington, have been lumped into one holiday called Presidents Day......An effort is being made to eradicate American values.

It seems American traditions are evil and must be obliterated in the secular progressive mentality, they are at the root of all that is wrong with society. Anyone that doesn't agree with that line of thinking is sub par intelligent and a red neck gun clinger, ahem.

How far does the left want to go to extinguish every little bit of connection we have with our heritage in order to appease other cultures? There is no limit, but a wise man (person) once said:

"If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything".

America has traditions and values that the majority of its citizens believe in, but it is being hijacked by a tyranny of the minority.

From the Right: It's version of "Thank You" Mr. President

The perspective of "From the Right" on our current President and his administration:

His personal appeal:

He makes great speeches.

He is the 2nd black President in American history, Bill Clinton was the 1st.

Has a nice family.

Has a great smile.

Has personal charisma

Won the Nobel Peace Prize.


Foreign policy:

Our friends don't trust us and our enemies don't fear us.

Incoherent policy that is pulling the rug out from under our allies feet.

Syrias brutal dictator deploys tanks to quell citizen unrest. But unless he uses warplanes, he's still a reformer. In the meantime we bomb Libya and it's brutal dictator

State Department appointees who are amateurs and leftist ideologues. (Biden, Clinton, Powers)

We are in three shooting wars.

NASA's new main directive is Muslim outreach rather than space exploration.

GITMO is still open and terrorists will be tried there.


Domestic energy policy

Our energy policy is based on the hoax/unproven "science/theology of man caused" global warming.(See John Holdren)

Oil is now 112.00 per barrel and rising, the highest sustained price ever.

The U.S. has backed loan guarantees of 2 billion for Brazil to drill of their coast, but won't issue drilling permits for the USA coasts and many other sections of US land.

Continues to throw tax billions at unproven, uneconomical "green energy"whose reason for being is man caused global warming.

Food is at record prices due to corn being used for fuel.


Political appointees:

More czars, with more unconstitutional power than any other president

Most appointees are left and far left ideologues:(Van Jones, Cass Sunstein, John Holdren, etc.)

Almost all of his economic leftist czars/experts who pushed us to debt limits never experienced, have resigned.

An Attorney General who wanted to try foreign terrorists in domestic courts, giving them Miranda rights. The mentality of this means all terrorists captured on the battlefield will have to be read their "rights".


His leadership style:

With the promise of "Hope and Change" it is politics as usual. Direct from the streets of Chicago, Rahm Emmanuel is gone, but the style remains.

"The president isn't leading, he didn't lead on last year's budget, and he clearly is not leading on this year's budget."

Inappropriately inserts his partisan politics into states matters by interfering in Wisconsins internal matters and sends his "Organizing For America" to sway outcome of a states elections.

Inappropriately plays golf and vacations while Japan has catastrophic disaster.

He orders military operations where people are being killed, while on a family vacation.


The Result

Gold is over 1,400 per ounce due to the staggering debt

America is on the road to economic ruin largest debt and deficit in history

America is a debtor nation

"Pigford" lawsuits paying 50K of government money to any black "who attempted to farm".

Americas borders are a sieve for illegal aliens to enter and get government services

America awakened to the far left direction Obama pointed the country and resoundingly defeated his party in the last elections by record margins.

The Tea Party was created

America is poised for a sea change, the whole conversation regarding Americas direction and future has been re-directed as America sees what leftist leadership does.

Even the main stream media has started to question the politics and policies of this administration.

The Nobel Peace Prize has been politicized

So thank you President Obama for reawakening America to the fact that it is still right of center and its' citizens are ready to take their country back.
