Obama’s First Year – How Has He Done?

Posted on 21. Dec, 2009 by Josh Ray.

President Obama is coming up on his one year mark and I have noticed a lot of comments lately in the blogosphere that go something like this “Obama has done more in his first year than most presidents do in their entire term.”  I started thinking about that and questioning how much change he has [...]

Posted on 15. Dec, 2009 by Josh Ray.

Last night I bought a candy bar from a vending machine and the quarter I got back as change was a New Hampshire quarter.  On the back of the quarter was written the motto “Live Free Or Die” and as I read it I thought about the recent health care debates.  How many times have [...]

Posted on 17. Sep, 2009 by Josh Ray.

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus presented his new health care bill on Wednesday without the support of one Republican.  While his bill did do away with the government option that has caused so much controversy it still was just too much for the conservatives and many liberals think it doesn’t do enough.  In an [...]

Angry Mobs or Outraged Citizens

Posted on 01. Sep, 2009 by Josh Ray.

I KNOW what the caged bird feels, alas!
When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;
When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,
And the river flows like a stream of glass;
When the first bird sings and the first bud opes,
And the faint perfume from its chalice steals —
I know what the caged bird feels!

Wall Street Finishes Up As ObamaCare Takes A Dive

Posted on 21. Aug, 2009 by Josh Ray.

I like to look at the market and see how it reacts to political events and this week the market has done fairly well.  I don’t think that it is a coincidence that the market is heading up as support for ObamaCare heads the opposite direction either.  Many liberals will try to tell you that [...]

UPS, FedEx & The Post Office – More Evidence That The Government Sucks At Everything

Posted on 20. Aug, 2009 by Josh Ray.

President Obama was at a meeting this week and in an attempt to put down the fears of those of us who believe that a public option will drive private companies out of business he had this to say:

Hail to the Chief, And Then Get Outta His Way (Video)

Posted on 10. Aug, 2009 by Josh Ray.

In an unprecedented move President Barack Obama has just made an executive change that will surely set the stage for the bipartisan progress he has planned for this country.  Starting today when the President enters a room you will no longer hear Hail to the Chief instead you will hear this classic Ludacris song (unedited so [...]

This is a big topic today so I thought I’d link to the video in case you haven’t had a chance to see or hear it yet.  Rush mentioned this on his show and the conservatives on Twitter have been talking about it non-stop.  Obama said during his campaign that he is a proponent of [...]

Obama’s Health Care Speech 7/21/2009 (Video)

Posted on 23. Jul, 2009 by Josh Ray.

Here is the video of President Obama’s speech on health care from last night.
 

What does the race relations question have to do with health care?  Why would the President of the United States of America call any police officer stupid after admitting that he didn’t know the details of the story?  I’m not saying that [...]

Kansas Governor Given Chance to Bankrupt U.S. Health Care System

Posted on 02. Mar, 2009 by Josh Ray.

If at first you don’t succeed try, try again.  That seems to be the theme as Obama appoints people to his cabinets.  I’ve been wondering lately if he just isn’t vetting the possible candidates well enough or if there just isn’t a liberal politician out there with a clean record.  I’m leaning more towards the [...]

Reuters just released a story containing some info on Obama’s 2010 budget plans.  A small part of his budget is $634 Billion that he has allocated to health care reform.  He is wasting no time at all spending as much money as possible and enslaving future generations of Americans with the shackles of national debt and [...]
