I feel threatened by this administration, I hope you do too. They are twisting the facts of this recession (which started here in Washington) into some sort of monster that was generated by Wall Street greed. The Obama administration is creating a Wall Street image of corruption that cries out for regulation, but it is really using this implied threat to our economy to hide the malfeasance of congressional democrats (including Obama) who were responsible for overseeing Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac, the first dominoes to fall. Congressional leaders of both parties, like Christopher Dodd, Arlen Specter and Barney Frank used strong-arm tactics and forced lending institutions to make risky loans to people who either could not repay, or never had any intention of repayment. Now the president is using this "manufactured crisis" to take over Wall Street. Perhaps he sees the writing on the wall with rising unemployment and falling house values, there will soon be large shortages of tax revenue, and he is driven to fund his socialist agenda?
Write you senators and representatives and demand a stop to this advance by government into our lives! You can send them e-mails by going to http://www.senate.gov/ and http://www.house.gov/. Look-up your congressman and post them a letter.
Here is an article on the latest odious move by the Obama adminstration in its drive to control our lives...

Bon Appetite!
After his sweeping victory last November, Mr. Obama promised all Americans he would clean house. Now his best buds, the democratic congress, specifically Rosa DeLauro, D-CT, has put forth an initiative to control our domestic food sources. Her intent: enough with foreign food contamination, we will isolate our domestic sources to see if the contamination is 'home-grown' before isolating foreign sources. Good policy. Also be sure to ignore deductive reasoning and just use inductive, that way Ms. DeLauro you'll always have someone else to blame for your mistakes.

Steal(thy) Obama!!!
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/03/15/AR2009031501350.html?wpisrc=newsletter
Is this what our Republic has come to? This is the greatest juke-job by this administration to date! Obama claimed he was going to wash DC clean from the stain of lobbyists, yet he is pushing the buttons of his 66 million lemmings to call-in and tie up the switch boards of Congress to get it to pass his $3.2 trillion (that right TRILLION!!!!!) budget. I guess Obamamama doesn't feel so safe with Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Reid as he once did. Our Constitution is in tatters!!!! And it will only get worse. This a*****e has now spent, or proposes spending $6 trillion (that right TRILLION!!!!!), of your great grandchildren children's money. He's already spent your grandkid's dough on his Porkulous package. O for the days of a runaway George Bush.
Where will Obama get these new funds? Maybe his saintly clean buddy Geithener will find a way. This schmuck! You get what you vote for, or , in the case of those republicans who didn't show up to vote, you've stuck us with one great big socialist problem. Thanks a lot!!!
You cannot get away with simply saying, "Well I didn't vote for the guy." Because if you didn't vote, it was just as much an affirmative action as if you did vote for Obama.

How fitting, 25 DVDs of Classic US Crap Movies in Exchange for a Heartfelt Gift!
While it should not generally be a question that gifts which are to be exchanged be of equal value, somehow the appropriateness of one's gift should be taken into consideration. Obama's gift to PM Gordon Brown fails to meet the appropriateness standard. But then, think about it, doesn't Pinocchio singing "When You Wish Upon a Star?" say it all about this president? Or was the singer Jimminey Cricket, I no longer care much less remember? Our presidential putz. This article was taken from today's Monday Brief - Vol. 09, No. 10 found at http://patriotpost.us/.
THE LAST WORD
"British prime minister Gordon Brown thought long and hard about what gift to bring on his visit to the White House last week. Barack Obama is the first African-American president, so the prime minister gave him an ornamental desk-pen holder hewn from the timbers of one of the Royal Navy's anti-slaving ships of the 19th century, HMS Gannet. Even more appropriate, in 1909 the Gannet was renamed HMS President. The president's guest also presented him with the framed commission for HMS Resolute, the lost British ship retrieved from the Arctic and returned by America to London, and whose timbers were used for a thank-you gift Queen Victoria sent to Rutherford Hayes: the handsome desk that now sits in the Oval Office.And, just to round things out, as a little stocking stuffer, Gordon Brown gave President Obama a first edition of Sir Martin Gilbert's seven-volume biography of Winston Churchill. In return, America's head of state gave the prime minister 25 DVDs of 'classic American movies.' Evidently, the White House gift shop was all out of 'MY GOVERNMENT DELEGATION WENT TO WASHINGTON AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY T-SHIRT' T-shirts. Still, the 'classic American movies' set is a pretty good substitute, and it can set you back as much as $38.99 at Wal-Mart." --columnist Mark Steyn

Well it has come to this: the stock market daily seems to reach a new low, Wonderboy Obamamama continutes to write checks on an overdrawn account, and we're left holding the bag.
The useful idiots who elected him were empowered by those conservatives who elected to stay home rather than vote for McCain. How do you like your government now you silly fools? In your petulance you've condemned this country to the fate of all governments who overreach their authority: the graveyard of magnificent efforts. SHAME ON YOU FOR YOUR CHILDISHNESS!!! Pray the end comes swiftly for to linger in a world of Obamamama's making is to drown slowly. Thank you so much.
I wrote the following letter to my Senator Jim Webb (Notice he couldn't even take the time to spell my name correctly, the putz!). I fear its effect will be that of tipping at windmills, well better to go down fighting than not going to vote!

The Honorable Senator Webb:
I am disappointed in your response. But since you asked me to continue to contact you in order that you may better serve me in the Senate, I offer the following rebuttal:
To call the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act a "bi-partisan" effort "to swiftly drive money into our struggling economy" is simply not true. The majority of the spending associated with this bill will not reach the people until 2010 and after. The economy may well right itself of its own accord long before then. And to say this bill was designed to help struggling families is a gross mistatement of fact. This morning it was reported that the president's plan will help out 9 million families, but will leave those most in need of assistance without any aid. For those who have seen their house value decline over 5% of their purchase price will not be eligible to recieve funds. http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-general/20090304/Obama.Housing/
Yes, sir, this is definitely change I can believe in.
By the way, Senator, did you ever read and understand Dicken's "Great Expectations?" The book not the screen play.
The intentions of this administration are written on the wall for all citizens of the United States to plainly see, if they still have eyes to see and the ability to read. The silver-tongued orator that the majority of voters elected last November cares not about the most desperate individuals in our society. He cares about his marxist enablers and special interest supporters. How could you vote in good conscience for that bill when so much money goes to an organization that is steeped in accusations of voter fraud and charges of intimidation? ACORN is a leftist organization, of a type that I would have thought your service to our country would have prevented you from funding.
I had higher expectations of you, sir. But I now see you have drunk from Mr. Obama's kool-aid.
I will continue to pray for you in the hopes that the wool be lifted from your eyes and you can once again walk the path of true statesmanship, and forgo the partisan government into which you have sunk. Ours is still a government that has, up until this time, allowed for reasoned debate on the issues. Your colleagues in the Senate and the House closed off debate and ramrodded this spending bill down our throats. Collins, Snowe, and Spector do not represent "bi-partisanship", sir, and I question your use of such language to color the betrayal they have perpetrated upon the people of this country.
Shame on you, sir. Shame.
Thank you,
Joseph O'Donnell
Arlington, Virginia
P.S. I also note that you didn't even take the time to check the correct spelling of my name.

Dear Mr. O'donnell:
Thank you for contacting my office regarding the ongoing economic crisis and the federal government's response. I appreciate your taking the time to share your concerns with me.
The United States is facing an economic crisis that is causing American families to fall behind. Communities are being hard hit by home foreclosures, failing businesses, and job losses that are almost unprecedented in recent history. As your U.S. Senator, I am committed to supporting policies that will help end the economic crisis and will help restore basic fairness for all Americans.
It is for this reason that I supported the bi-partisan American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (H.R. 1). This economic recovery package is designed to swiftly drive money into our struggling economy. With help for struggling families, meaningful tax cuts and concentrated funding on key infrastructure programs, I am hopeful that this responsibly-crafted legislation will create millions of new jobs and begin immediately to restore America's economic strength.
As one of those who were concerned with many aspects of the original proposal, I was pleased to work with colleagues from both sides of the aisle to put this plan into place within a set of targeted parameters for economic renewal. My Senate colleagues and I focused on programs to help families struggling under today's serious economic downturn, on shovel-ready infrastructure and public works projects, and on addressing the housing crisis. I am pleased that we were able to remove almost $100 billion in spending from the original proposal.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act also contains tax cuts for families and businesses, provisions to help unemployed Americans keep their health care and find new employment, and provides aid to help the most vulnerable. While this legislation is an important step, other measures must be adopted to restore the health of our economy. These include appropriate reforms of our banking and financial systems, tax fairness, and measures to place the nation on a long-term path to fiscal responsibility.
I appreciate hearing from my constituents. Your correspondence helps me serve you better in the Senate. I hope that you will continue to share your views with me and my staff in the years ahead.
I would also invite you to visit my website at http://www.webb.senate.gov/ for regular updates about my activities and positions on matters that are important to Virginia and our nation.
Thank you once again for contacting my office.
Sincerely, Jim Webb
