Clearly, integrity is not a word one would associate with Obama. We have seen his background, and heard his disengenuous promisses and witnessed his failed Presidency. Hope and Change were just another slogan for BS.

How to Choose a President
It would be foolish to assume that any person can be an expert in all areas of being the President of the USA. As a Political Science graduate and avid reader I feel that I have a good feel for the Major Issues. However, when I look at the Candidates the very first thing that I want to understand is their Integrity. This year that's pretty easy. We have an incumbent who was educated for some time in a Muslim school and who's early mentors like his Grandfather and Frank Marshall Davis were Communists. Who had absolutely no experience other than being a Community Organizer but told us he knew how to fix the Economy. A man who had associations with Marxists like Bill Ayers, Wade Rathke, Carl Davidson and Saul Alinsky. A man who as a State Senator in Illinois voted present 129 times. And a cruel individual who tried 3 times to prevent the State Senate from passing a law that would make Infanticide illegal. He thought it would be unfair to make the doctor come back to ensure that the babies were safe. A man who surrounds himself with Czars that are committed Socialists like: Ed Montgomery - Auto recovery Czar Black radical anti-business activist. Affirmative Action and Job Preference for blacks. University of Maryland Business School Dean teaches US business has caused world poverty. ACORN board member, Communist and DuBois Club member. And, Carol Browner Energy and Environment Czar Political Radical Former head of EPA – known for anti-business activism. Browner was implicated in a federal court decision against EPA for destroying official computer files. And Van Jones Green Jobs Czar (since resigned). Black activist Member of American communist Party and San Francisco Communist Party who said Geo Bush caused the 911 attack and wanted Bush investigated by the World Court for war crimes. He is a Black activist with strong anti-white views. And Cass Sunstein Regulatory Czar Liberal activist judge who believes free speech needs to be limited for the “common good”. He is essentially against the1st amendment. Rules against personal freedoms many times -like private gun ownership and right to free speech. A man whose first priority as President was to take a world tour and Apologize for Americas' past actions. A man who has driven our economy to ruin and holds a record high for Spending and Unemployment. Etc. etc.
Clearly, integrity is not a word one would associate with Obama. We have seen his background, and heard his disengenuous promisses and witnessed his failed Presidency. Hope and Change were just another slogan for BS.

Is Obama an Amateur?
In his best-selling novel “The Amateur”, Ed Kline interviewed over 200 people and through his analysis of their interviews Mr. Kline has determined the reason that Barack Obama has been a failure as President is that he is callous and an Amateur in real politics. However, this conclusion assumes that Obama was trying to turn around the economy and restore the U.S. to its position as a World Leader.
Another view can be developed if you dig in to his background and his real goal. In his early years he was influenced by his mother who was by accounts of friends a firebrand socialist. After depositing him with his grandparents their reign of influence began with both of them being Communists. It was his grandfather who introduced him to the famous black communist Frank Marshall Davis who became Barry Sotero’s mentor. In addition to being a leader in the Black Communist movement in Hawaii, Davis was an admitted sexual deviate. In Chicago, Obama hooked up with Bill Ayers (Weather Underground leader who bombed the Pentagon), Wade Rathke (Acorn) and Carl Davidson (Student Leader of the “New Left”, VP of SDS (Ayers, Rathke), national co-chair of “The Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism”. Obama then became an organizer for Acorn and eventually the head of Project Vote where he received training from the Saul Alinsky organization. Obama is said to have attended Columbia University where a pair of professors named Cloward and Piven had taken the Alinsky (Rules for Radicals) philosophy and turned in to an action oriented strategy to implement their radical ideas. In their program their stated goal was to “Hasten the Fall of Capitalism by Overloading the Government’s Bureaucracy with IMPOSSIBLE DEMANDS – Thus Creating Economic, Political and Social Chaos”. If you look at Obama’s actions as president they fall right in line with the Cloward and Piven Strategy. Not enforcing illegal immigration thus adding millions to walk in to our country. Reducing permits for oil drilling and holding up the Keystone Pipeline. Creating tremendous uncertainty for job creators about taxes and regulations and attacking the job creators he has created such uncertainty that Entrepreneurs and Business are afraid to invest their capital thus preventing the creation of jobs and keeping the unemployment rate at record levels.
So if you believe that his goal is in line with the Cloward and Piven Strategy he is no amateur but in fact a very successful Radical who is destroying the U.S. by creating Political, Social and Economic Chaos.

Obama's Ignorance about the Economy
Here is a great article from the American Thinker:
Barak Obama, in 2008, won the presidency on the platform that (among other things) he understood the country's economic problems and, more importantly, knew how to solve them. Three-plus years later, the administration is now telling us that "The economy turns out to have been far worse ... than we knew at the time," "we are moving in the right direction," and that he now "needs more time to fix the economy."
"The economy turns out to have been far worse ... than we knew at the time" simply tells us that Mr. Obama never understood the problems to begin with.
"Moving in the right direction"? Despite more than three years and some $2 trillion spent on bailouts, handouts, and so-called stimulus, there are approximately three million fewer people employed today than were employed in 2008. Approximately three quarters of a million fewer women are employed today than were employed in 2008. Several million others have given up looking for employment entirely, gone into retirement, taken permanent disability, or taken jobs in the underground economy. Few if any of these people will ever again contribute to our tax base.
Despite the failure of this administration's policies, Mr. Obama now claims to "need more time." Having no plan in hand while simultaneously claiming that we are moving in the right direction, Mr. Obama is clearly telling us that if he is re-elected, we can expect more deficit spending to pay for the same failed policies over the next four years.
If these three statements tell us anything, they tell us that Mr. Obama campaigned in 2008 with no understanding of the problem, has chosen the old liberal solution of throwing money at the problem while hoping things improve, and worse yet, cannot come up with a new plan because to do so would not only admit failure, but concede that he never had a clue to begin with.
Only in the liberal Democratic world is failure proof of success. We see it not only in the White House, but in Congress, at our universities, and in increases in compensation for fewer hours and less productivity demanded by our municipal unions.
Bob Dylan told us that "There is no success like failure," but in fact, Mr. Obama has learned nothing from his failures during more than three years of on-the-job training. And failure is no success at all.

Obama's Failed Promises
There are so many Failed Promises made by Obama that it would be confusing to list them all. Here are the Top 10 per the GOP National Committee plus a few others from our staff.
- One-Term Proposition
- In 2009, Obama promised that if he didn't have the economy fixed in three years then his presidency "was going to be a one-term proposition". He has failed on the Economy, Jobs and deficit and America's debt rating was lowered by S&P.
- The 8 Percent Promise
- He promised that his $831 BILLION stimulus would keep unemployment below 8 percent. However, unemployment has remained above 8 percent for a post-WW2 record amount of time.
- Green Jobs
- He promised that his BETS on green energy would create thousands of jobs, but he gave a $535 Million tax payer funded loan to Solyndra, a company whose largest investor was a MAJOR Obama campaign donor. The company went bankrupt and the taxpayers lost all of the money it had given to Solyndra.
- Cut the Deficit in Half
- Obama promised he would cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. Because of his reckless spending, he will have amassed a record Trillion Dollar Deficits every year in office and increased the national debt by more that $5 Trillion.
- Unpatriotic Debt
- In 2008, Obama said it was "unpatriotic" to add $4 trillion to the national debt but as president , he has increased the national debt by over $5 Trillion to over $15Trillion.
- Housing Program Failure
- He promised that his housing programs would save up to 9 million families from foreclosure, but his housing programs combined with the economy and jobs failures have only helped two million homeowners and currently there are more than 6 million properties that are delinquent or in foreclosure.
- Failed to Change Washington
- Obama promised to "fundamentally change how Washington works." But he has failed to promote and increase bi-partisanship in the nations capital. And he has failed to end special interest access to the White House as he promised. He even broke his promise and let lobbyists work in his administration.
- Rising Health Care Costs
- In 2008, Obama promised that his health care plan would bring down premiums "by $2,500 for the typical family." However, health care premiums for families rose by 9 percent last year, at a time when middle class families can least afford it.
- Record College Costs
- Under Barack Hussein Obama , college tuition and average student loan debt are both at all-time highs.
- What Energy Policy
- In 2008, Obama said he would "work to solve this energy crisis once and for all." But in 2011, he called his own energy policy "just a hodgepodge" and said "we're not where we need to be."
- "I will develop a plan for Comprehensive Immigration Reform".
- This was his response in spring of 2010 when he and his Justice Department declared war on the State of Arizona for trying to enforce immigration laws. It's now the summer of 2012 and he has not revealed a comprehensive plan yet.
- "In my 2012 Budget I am reducing Spending as a % of GDP.
- This was his comment in June of 2012. This % involves a calculation involving Spending which has increased dramatically and GDP. When you fudge the GDP number than you can make this % anything you want it to be. Actually, he does this often.
- "The Economy is Fine".
- This statement in June was obviously a lie. And he calls Romney out of touch. On the other hand we should look at this from his perspective. When you are following the Alinsky and Cloward and Piven doctrine to overload the entitlement system and create Political, Social and Economic chaos then the economy is fine. (More on the Cloward and Piven Doctrine in another post.)

Broken Promises in Obamacare
The Following article is from the The Heritage Foundation. They have called this "Broken Promises". However, this whole Bill was based on Lies. Recently the Supreme Court decided that Obamacare was legal as a Tax. Of course during the Bill's selling process the President of the United States of America stated many times that this was NOT a tax. They then claimed it was legal as part of the Commerce Law. Now, despite the Supreme Court's decision that it is a tax the Administration and their cohorts in Congress are referring to it as a Penalty. You just can't believe anything that they say.
Morning Bell: Too Many Broken Promises in Obamacare
Yesterday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) almost called Obamacare’s individual mandate a tax, stopping mid-word to call it a “penalty”. White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew and other spokespersons echoed this talking point. This is in spite of last week’s Supreme Court ruling that deemed the mandate unconstitutional under both the Commerce Clause and the Necessary and Proper Clause, but ruled that it could stand as part of Congress’s authority to “lay and collect taxes.”
Dubbing the individual mandate a tax saved the President’s health care law, but it’s a concept that President Obama himself has strongly denied. In a 2009 interview, President Obama argued that his individual mandate was not a tax increase, stating, “I absolutely reject that notion.”But after last week, President Obama must now admit it’s a tax or admit the mandate is unconstitutional. It’s can only be one or the other.
The mandate is in fact a tax, and it’s just one of many new taxes that hit the middle class in Obamacare. Lo and behold, another broken promise. President Obama claims that the mandate is holding people responsible, keeping with that spirit, here’s a reminder of the other promises the President and his health care law are responsible for breaking:
Promise #1: “Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase.”
Reality: The individual mandate is far from alone on Heritage’s lengthy list of Obamacare’s new taxes and penalties, many of which will heavily impact the middle class. Altogether, Obamacare’s taxes and penalties will accumulate an additional $500 billion in new revenue over a 10-year period. Yesterday, a senior economist for The Wall Street Journal revealed that 75 percent of Obamacare’s new taxes will be paid for by American families making under $120,000 a year. Among the taxes that will hit the middle class are the individual mandate, a 2.3 percent excise tax on medical devices, a 10 percent excise tax on indoor tanning, and an increase of the floor on medical deductions from 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income to 10 percent.
Promise #2: “If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan, period.”
Reality: Research continues to show that as many as 30 percent of employers will dump their employees from their existing health care coverage. The Administration itself has admitted that “as a practical matter, a majority of group health plans will lose their grandfather status by 2013.”
Promise #3: “I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits—either now or in the future.”
Reality: As Heritage analysts explain, “A close examination of what [the Congressional Budget Office] said, as well as other evidence, makes it clear that the deficit reduction associated with [Obamacare] is based on budget gimmicks, sleights of hand, accounting tricks, and completely implausible assumptions. A more honest accounting reveals the new law as a trillion-dollar budget buster.”
Promise #4: “I will protect Medicare.”
Reality: A Heritage Factsheet shows the various ways Obamacare ends Medicare as we know it, including severe physician reimbursement cuts that threaten seniors’ access to care and putting an unelected board of bureaucrats in charge of meeting Medicare’s new spending cap.
Promise #5: “I will sign a universal health care bill into law by the end of my first term as president that will cover every American and cut the cost of a typical family’s premium by up to $2,500 a year.”
Reality: Obamacare does not accomplish universal coverage; it leaves 26 million Americans without insurance. Moreover, Heritage research outlines 12 ways that Obamacare will increase premiums instead of reducing health care costs. Requirements that plans allow young adults to stay on their parents’ coverage and offer preventive services with no cost sharing are already leading to higher growth in premiums.
When polled, 70 percent of Americans held an unfavorable view of the individual mandate. It’s doubtful that calling it a “tax” will dramatically change their opinion. Now that Obamacare and its broken promises remain the law of the land, it’s up to the American people to see to it that the law is ultimately repealed by Congress. Then, they can move forward with real reform that puts patients’ needs first.

BHB Call to Action
Greetings to my Conservative
Friends:
Are you as "Fed UP" as I am??? About a year ago
the PEOPLE of California voted to make it illegal for the State to authorize
marriages between people of the same sex. However, a District Judge invalidated
their referendum under the grounds that the PEOPLE lacked the knowledge to make
this decision. Now the Supremes have decided that the largest TAX INCREASE in
history is VALID as a TAX. But wait, when this was rushed through Congress they
and the AMERICAN PEOPLE were told in no uncertain terms by the President of the
US and his RAMRODS in Congress that this was DEFINITLY NOT A TAX.
So ... how the heck can this be a legitimate bill when THEY
LIED? Actually, Justice Roberts in
essence told US that it was our fault for electing this President and
Congressional Representative. So I ask again, are you as "FED" Up as
I am? Are you willing to take up Roberts message help me organize a series of
"Letters to the Editor" in order to educate our fellow citizens so
that they can become as "Fed Up" as we are?
Most newspapers only allow ONE Letter per month from any
individual so I can't be as effective if I'm the only one submitting letters.
My thought is that I will develop a list of article headlines (so you can see the
whole process). I will then create letter contents which if you agree to submit
you can alter as You see fit. Based on your input I will create a mailing list
so those of you who agree to submit can post us when your article is published
and then WE ALL can log in and add supporting comments. Obviously, this will be
as effective as the number of people who agree to submit a letter and the
number of cohorts who will agree to submit comments. This does not require you
to be in the Chicago area. It would be great if those of you who live in other
States would participate as well. This is the glory of the Internet World. As a
first step, this letter is going to folks from Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota,
California, Colorado, Virginia and of course several from Florida. (Note:
please pass this along to your friends and ask them to participate as well). It
would be great to have more States represented.
So, here are the next steps:
1. If you don’t have the time or interest. Reply to this
message and just say “no thanks”, I understand that many on this list are quite
busy.
2. If
you’re willing to "post" a letter in your name please email me the
paper that you will submit to.
3. If
you’re willing to "Comment" send me an email.
4. Please
give me an email by July 11th so I can get an idea as to the level of
participation and scope of States we will cover. When I get your responses, I
will then publish our mailing list. Actually, I have a Blog site that I haven't
used lately where we can post the letters, mailing list and publish dates. All
you would need to do is to "Subscribe" to the blog site and then you
will be notified of only "new" posts.
5. Meanwhile
I will get out the list of topics by July 9th.
6. And
then the BATTLE WILL START!
Also, following is a link to an article from the
"American Thinker" that discusses the failure of the Executive,
Judicial and Congressional branches of our Government and highlights the need
for us to elect Representatives who agree on the principles of Fiscal
Responsibility, Limited Government, Fair Market Trading and INDIVIDUAL
RESPONSIBILITY. This is an excellent article and the Video that it links to is
terrific as well. http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/06/war.html
