News Conference 100 Days: Three Questions I Wished Were Asked

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Face Fwd Comments:

Below is the text of 12 of the 13 questions asked Obama. (one I couldn’t catch because it came from the floor) The answers don’t really matter because because we learned nothing from them. Instead read the questions and you can learn much about how easy the press is treating this president.

Here are some questions I would like to have seen asked:

Question1: Mr. President, you campaigned on getting the troops out of the middle east within the first three months of talking office, but you have not. Does that mean you were just lying to get elected? Now believe the war was just and Bush was right? Or George Soros has not pressured you enough yet?

 

Question 2: Mr. President, You criticized your opponents for calling your Spending Plan a “Spending Plan”. How much money will your daughters owe if everything you want is put into place? And will they ever see it paid off?

 

Question 3: Mr. President, Your wife made the statement that, “This is the first time I have ever been proud of America”, after you were elected. Aditionally, you recently apologized for America being an arrogant country. Which industry take over has made Michele and yourself the proudest..Banking or Automotive? And do you and her still hate the white working middle class?

 

What questions would you have liked to offered up to the president?

From the News Conference

Q1: Thank you, Mr. President. On the domestic auto industry, have you determined that bankruptcy is the only option to restructure Chrysler? And do you believe that the deep cuts in plant closings that were outlined this week by General Motors are sufficient?
Q2: Thank you, Mr. President. You’ve said in the past that waterboarding, in your opinion, is torture. Torture is a violation of international law and the Geneva Conventions. Do you believe that the previous administration sanctioned torture?
Q2: Thank you, sir. Let me follow up, if I may, on Jake’s question. Did you read the documents recently referred to by former Vice President Cheney and others saying that the use of so-called enhanced interrogation techniques not only protected the nation but saved lives? And if part of the United States were under imminent threat, could you envision yourself ever authorizing the use of those enhanced interrogation techniques?
Q3: Thank you, Mr. President. I want to move to Pakistan. Pakistan appears to be at war with the Taliban inside their own country. Can you reassure the American people that if necessary America could secure Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal and keep it from getting into the Taliban’s hands or, worst case scenario, even al-Qaida’s hands?
Q4: But in a worst-case scenario…(OFF-MIKE) military could secure this nuclear…
Q5: Thank you, Mr. President. One of the biggest changes you’ve made in the first 100 days regarding foreign policy has had to do with Iraq. But do the large-scale — there’s large-scale violence there right now. Does that affect the U.S. strategy at all for withdrawal? And could it affect the timetable that you’ve set out for troops?
Q6: Thank you, Mr. President. On Senator Specter’s switch to the Democratic Party, you said you were thrilled; I guess nobody should be surprised about that.
Q7: Is the Republican Party in the desperate straits that Arlen Specter seems to think it is?

Q8: Thank you, Mr. President. In a couple of weeks, you’re going to be giving the commencement at Notre Dame. And, as you know, this has caused a lot of controversy among Catholics who are opposed to your position on abortion.

As a candidate, you vowed that one of the very things you wanted to do was sign the Freedom of Choice Act, which, as you know, would eliminate federal, state and local restrictions on abortion. And at one point in the campaign when asked about abortion and life, you said that it was above — quote, above my pay grade. Now that you’ve been president for 100 days, obviously, your pay grade is a little higher than when you were a senator. Do you still hope that Congress quickly sends you the Freedom of Choice Act so you can sign it?
Q9: Thank you, Mr. President. During these first 100 days, what has surprised you the most about this office? Enchanted you the most from serving in this office? Humbled you the most? And troubled you the most?
OK. Lori Montenegro? Q: Thank you, Mr. President. Mr. President, when you met with the Hispanic Caucus a few weeks ago, reports came out that the White House was planning to have a forum to talk about immigration and bring it to the forefront. Going forward, my question is, what is your strategy to try to have immigration reform? And are you still on the same timetable to have it accomplished in the first year of your presidency? And, also, I’d like to know if you’re going to reach out to Sen. John McCain, who is Republican and in the past has favored immigration reform?
Q10: Thank you, Mr. President. As the entire nation tries to climb out of this deep recession, in communities of color, the circumstances are far worse. The black unemployment rate, as you know, is in the double digits. And in New York City, for example, the black unemployment rate for men is near 50 percent. My question to you tonight is given this unique and desperate circumstance, what specific policies can you point to that will target these communities and what’s the timetable for us to see tangible results?
Q1: Thank you, Mr. President. During the campaign, you criticized President Bush’s use of the state secrets privilege, but U.S. attorneys have continued to argue the Bush position in three cases in court. How exactly does your view of state secrets differ from President Bush’s? And do you believe presidents should be able to derail entire lawsuits about warrantless wiretapping or rendition if classified information is involved?
Q12: Thank you, sir. You are currently the chief shareholder of a couple of very large mortgage giants. You’re about to become the chief shareholder of a car company, probably two. And I’m wondering, what kind of shareholder are you going to be? What is the government’s role as the keeper of public — public trust and bonds in — in soon-to-be public companies again? Thank you.

Deportation Protest in NJ… It is Not Cheaper to Keep Her

Immigration rally to be held in Elizabeth

Saturday April 25, 2009,

Thousands were expected to attend a rally in Union County today to push for comprehensive immigration reform.

The “Family Unity” day rally is part of a national effort to end deportations and raids that immigration activists say destroy families. Among those expected to attend were several federal lawmakers, including U.S. Senator Robert Menendez and Rep. Albio Sires, both D-N.J.

A consortium of churches, national and local immigration advocates and individuals have been organizing prayer vigils, town-hall meetings and rallies in 20 U.S. cities.

The New Jersey gathering took place at the Jesus Christ is Savior Church in Elizabeth.

Destroys families? What? Are we forcing those families to separate? Do you really think that the ICE teams are forcing those families to go their separate ways. I just can’t imagine our officials telling anyone that they can’t go back to whatever country they came from with the family member is here illegally. The way I see it, if the person person being deported has Another Proud Group of Fine Citizens from South of the Borderfamily here then, that family will have a decision to make. They can stay here or go back to the appropriate country with the family member being deported.

The term used by the Illegal Alien Activist, “Destroying Families” is totally misleading. It is used to try to evoke sympathy for lawbreakers. It is from the same play book and probably the same people that stand outside of prisons protesting the executions of killers.

 

It is a problem we can no longer afford to pay for or ignor. The Democrats want the illegals to here to expand their power base but want you to pay for keeping them in power. Here are just a few of the cost you are picking up because of the illegal alien problem.

Lower Wages

Emergency Room Healthcare

Prison/Jail care

Court System

Dollars wired out of our economy

Uninsured Drivers (3 of my family members were hit by illegal aliens with no automobile insurance)

Classrooms dumb down for non-English speaking students

Additional classes/teachers for non English speaking students

Government support in the form of Food stamps, Free Lunches, and other social service paid for by our tax dollars

Unpaid Taxes lost on “Cash Economy”

Unpaid Social Security wages

Look at the cost in just three states for cost for services and missed revenue cost:

4.7 Billion or $725 or each tax payer in the state of Texas

10.7 Billion or $1,183 for each Tax Payer in California

1.3 Billion or an extra 700 or each tax payer in Arizona
These cost do not include the huge state cost for the responsibility of patrolling the border trying to stop the drug runners.
So, I say to you again. Protest deportation all you want, but you pay for it because I am sick of it

This Border Town Is Sick and Tired of Illegal Immigrants… Surprise It’s on the Mexican side of the Border

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

 A Mexican border town has “declared war” on the United States, vowing to clog the U.S. court system with illegal immigrants, because, city officials say, the U.S. Border Patrol is dumping in their town Mexican nationals caught crossing the border illegally.

"Make a Run for the Border", Never Was More TrueOfficials from Agua Prieta, a Mexican city of about 130,000, are also claiming that the U.S. government has repeatedly neglected to inform them about new waves of immigrants before they are routed there from points in the U.S. after capture.

Consequently, Agua Prieta leaders are teaching Mexican nationals how to cross into the U.S. and stay there, by instructing them to request a court hearing — a tactic sure to clog the judicial system with possibly thousands of illegal immigrants who want their day in court.

See the rest of this great article at:  http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=15378     Article by Jon E. Dougherty is a Missouri-based writer and the author of “Illegals: The Imminent Threat Posed by Our Unsecured U.S.-Mexico Border.”

Part of me finds this article pretty funny in that a Mexican town doesn’t want the illegals in their town just dropped off there either.  I don’t blame them.  If I were a government official there, I would not want the crime and the overwhelmed city/state services these illegals bring with them either.  However, the problem is not that we are dumping the illegals on this city…. The problem is that Mexico is not doing anything to help us stop the flow of their country’s poor and discriminated against into our country.  By the way, flip through Spanish televisor next chance you get and see if any of the people on television look like the people crossing the border. You’ll understand the discriminated comment.  The people coming across the border are not the same people we see on Mexican television or as they are often touted as the norm for political reasons.  The people swimming rivers to get here are those citizens of Mexico with little or no European heritage…. the poor and discriminated against.

We still believe that the greatest economic crisis is not the banking or the manufacturing industry problems.  We can figure that out given enough time.  The biggest financial problem facing America right now is the millions of Illegals that have come into this country from south of the border.  If our government officials have their way and grant amnesty we will never recover and our “American Way” will be lost forever. 

The small Mexican town of Agua Prieta is a microcosm of what we face permanently if we are not careful.  The people coming into this country illegally over the Mexico border are not here to give, they are here to take.  Not only are our hospitals, schools and jails being drug (no pun) down with people at the expense of our families and tax dollars, countless millions of dollars from our economy are leaving this country via wire transfer weekly. 

How do we handle it?  Remember that wall?….Build it now, build it deep and build it long.  We have laws now.  That is why these people that are illegally crossing our borders are called illegals.  They are breaking the law.  It seems to me that the costly option is to hunt them down after they are here.  Wouldn’t it be cheaper to stop them before they get here?  Oh and how about stopping wire transfers to Mexico?

You aren’t Nothing but a Carbon Footprint, Baby

There is a huge effort in pace to make our kids feel guilty for their life in another attempt to control the population. If the power elite can get everyone else to use less resources there will be more or them. It’s like hearing Gore speak on global warming then seeing that he flies in a private jet and has a huge power bill each month just to light up his trees outside

No sane person want pollution. However, there is a huge difference between real pollution and what is being touted as pollution today.  i.e. carbon footprint.  Our children are being force fed a constant diet of warming earth propaganda.  If you don’t believe it, I defy you to sit down and watch a couple hours of children’s programming. You will see how many PSA there are for “Staying Green”. Or “Climate Change” AKA global warming  In addition there are an uncountable number of websites being pushed that are primed at indoctrinating your kids in “climate change” propaganda.

It is especially true with the Viacom family of media products.  Holy freaking cow!  While I am horrified at what they are doing I have to applaud them at what they have been able to accomplish. Imagine this; you have a child that starts watching Nickelodeon. OK not too bad.  (Unless you saw any of the coverage of the election which was so pro Obama it was ridiculous) Your kid grows up, matures and as the stars of today’s kids shows become music stars they move from Nick to MTV with them.

At Nick, they were bombarded with huge liberal doses from Linda Ellerbee and PSA’s that are nothing short of left wing evangelism. At MTV they get the idea that elections are popularity contest from the “Rock the Vote” campaign. The reality shows feature young men a women in sexually charged situations which are productions made to denounce traditional family values. These shows will make fun of everything that made this country great but will deliver a strong message of ecological worship. If allowed, our kids will be given 10-12 years of indoctrination that will form their moral, political and spiritual values for the rest of their lives.

What to do? We have blocked all music channels in our house and while it pains me (I like Spongebob), we are considering blocking Nickelodeon well. The Comedy Chanel is no better it’s just that no one in our house finds any humor in it or ever watches it.

The decision is yours. You can allow your kids grow up and be raised by George Soros and Viacom or you can take control. Oh, and by the way parents….if you ever want grandkids be prepared to pay for their carbon footprint. Because, your kids will be too busy paying for the debt our current administration just ran up. Do you think that could be part of the plan too? No one has children because they can’t afford them? Just a thought!
