Really Pissed Off!

I’ve been biding my time on this one as the Senate has continued to strip all of the “Reform” from H.R, 3962, passed on November 7, 2009. The U.S. Senate continues to obstruct any meaningful reform for the General Public, whether it is The Credit Card Holder’s Bill of Rights or the Health Reform Act of 2009. In nearly every case, 100 men and women, elected by their constituency, have blindly followed the money trail left by the Lobbyists of Corporate America to screw the American Public!

In recent weeks, President Obama has been meeting with his military and foreign affairs advisors regarding our mission in Afghanistan. General Stanley McCrystal has openly requested 40,000 more troops to “avoid failure” in Afghanistan. Why the delay in the decision? Perhaps it is a decision as to what our mission in Afghanistan is, and why Pakistan may well hold the trump card.

Aside from President Obama, no one was more surprised than I was when I heard the news that he had been awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.” It appears that he was nominated twelve days after taking Office in January, but the vote was taken recently. Therefore the Norwegian Nobel Award Committee has had nine months to ponder over their choice.

We have come to the end of the road as far as any bi-partisan Health Care Reform! First of all, there was never going to be any give by the Republicans on this issue, or for any other. For the past nine months, I’ve watched President Obama attempt to deal with not so “loyal opposition” in an attempt to reach a bi-partisan Health Care Bill.

This is the first time RPO has chosen to re-run an article that is just one year old! It was regarding an idiotic notion that then Presidential Candidate Barack Obama was not a U.S. citizen. There are now enough of these idiots to actually give them a name….The Birthers!

Over the past two weeks, President Obama has been criticized by Republicans that he has failed to respond with outrage over the Iranian Election and subsequent civil unrest, which has swept that nation. Both Sen. McCain and Sen. Graham have demanded that President Obama condemn the corrupted Iranian election and subsequent actions of the supporters of Mir Hossein Mousavi. On the other hand, Sen. Lugar presently supports the President and did not sleep through his class on American Foreign Policy, which dealt with Iran. It’s obvious that Sen. McCain and Sen. Graham, as well as others did!

Just in case you haven’t looked at your latest credit card statement or that letter in fine print from your bank regarding your credit card that you tossed away, there is a good chance that your interest rate just went up! The banks that you and I have just bailed out to the tune of nearly $200 billion taxpayer dollars are arbitrarily increasing their interest rates on nearly any account they decide is delinquent, endanger of default or in good standing!

For the past five months, the battle for the Senate seat between incumbent Norm Coleman and upstart Al Franken has made Minnesotans blurry eyed, as they’ve counted the votes five ways from Sunday! It may be one way to survive a miserable Winter in the North Country, but the Court has declared Al Franken the winner by 312 votes out of nearly 3 million votes cast.

A month has passed since our take on the Economic Crisis, and all the great minds advising President Obama have little to show for their efforts. Although we may be in uncharted territory, there is one possible solution to finding the bottom of this Depression. Unfortunately, it comes with a big price and a heavy heart for the tax payer.

After listening to the President and Congress, it is becoming apparent that everyone has missed point regarding turning the Economy around. With any patient undergoing a major trauma, you first must stop the bleeding! In this case, the bleeding is the continuing foreclosure rate increase, which is bleeding the Economy dry.
