When Obama’s in the House

When Obama’s in the house

we can praise the chosen one,

life will be easy; life will be grand…

don’t we all just wanna have fun?

When Obama’s in the house

a sad story becomes very true,

where most happy working people vote red

and bitter, angry liberals vote blue.

When Obama’s in the house

more money will come your way,

while successful people are punished

and their earned money is taken away.

When Obama’s in the house

the lottery will no longer be the answer,

because he won’t encourage work

while still promising happy ever after.

When Obama’s in the house

he’ll be the Robin Hood few comprehend,

where high profit is the enemy

and do-nothings are the friend.

When Obama’s in the house

so many non-workers will feel success;

project dwellers can buy flat-screened TVs

while the middle class live with less.

When Obama’s in the house

that middle class will have fallen for the lie,

but when Bush tax cuts end in 2010

to those cuts he’ll say “bye bye.”

When Obama’s in the house

one can’t help but feel at a loss;

a leader to so many needy people

but, many ask, at what high a cost?

When Obama’s in the house

voters will have never voted before;

some don’t know what’s really at stake

or what they’re truly voting for.

When Obama’s in the house

many liberals will probably remain mean,

while they tout peace and love not war

and that everything be green.

When Obama’s in the house

maybe we’ll all join hand-in-hand,

no longer with a stalwart defense plan

just ignorantly peaceful in a volatile land.

When Obama’s in the house

it will still be cool to complain,

people thinking they are owed something

while sadly becoming more and more vain.

When Obama’s in the house

you’ll need to think for yourself no more,

because he’s smarter than our Founding Fathers

throwing our Constitution out the door.

When Obama’s in the house

he will cause a major disruption,

higher taxes and oppressive government

all while voted in via ACORN’s corruption.

When Obama’s in the house

personal responsibility will be put aside,

for those who want more and more given

while they give nothing back for a free ride.

When Obama’s in the house

an embarrassment to America it will be—

an attempt to suppress our drive and goals

to be successful in this great country.

When Obama’s in the house

conservatives will no doubt be aware,

kids and people voted because he’s cool…

because he’s a celeb without gray hair.

When Obama’s in the house

we’ll have a guy with terrorist friends,

who has become our newest president

regardless of the negative vibes that did send.

When Obama’s in the house

the government will guarantee success,

for people who don’t even make the effort

to do their very best.

When Obama’s in the house

he’ll spend more taxpayer money on the poor,

when we have so many programs already

with still so many yet in store.

When Obama’s in the house

charity will no longer be personal choice;

you will give to whom the government wants

and away will be taken your voice.

When Obama’s in the house

talk radio will probably be next to go—

how sad our only conservative voices

intimidate his self-serving show.

When Obama’s in the house

we will suddenly have to refuse,

that he heard every word Reverend Wright said

while sitting for 20 years in those pews.

When Obama’s in the house

we must believe his judgment for creeps,

but as most believe very strongly

you judge a guy by the company he keeps.

When Obama’s in the house

Socialism…it’s what’s for dinner:

Obama, the shepherd leading his sheep

where every American is a winner.

When Obama’s in the house

all conservatives will know quite surely,

that this lawyer was trained to conspire and fool

looking innocent to the voting jury.

When Obama’s in the house

many smart people will soon realize,

they should have voted for the guy of truth

not the hip guy quick to connive.

When Obama’s in the house

a light will again shine down in your sleep;

the Messiah will be leading something,

he’s the shepherd leading all you sheep!

When Obama’s in the house

you can settle down for a long winter’s nap.

Why you ask my fellow Americans?

Under Obama, you need no thinking cap!

When Obama’s in the house

the fight for more handouts has been won;

you can work as little as possible

when work by others for you will be done.

When Obama’s in the house

the housing mess is blamed on the wrong guy.

It was the Democrats who wanted all, rich or poor,

to have the pie in the sky.

When Obama’s in the house

you’ll continue to see things all wrong,

for it was rash homeowners without enough money

who carried this housing atrocity along.

When Obama’s in the house

you’ll ask, “Who is this housing trouble about?!”

A:  Most responsible people are doing just fine;

The irresponsible we are bailing out.

When Obama’s in the house

your vote for him will make things go away,

while we prudent homeowners waited

to buy our house…until we could pay!

When Obama’s in the house

will you be honest in due time?

Come on people, think again…

Who buys a house without putting down a dime?!

When Obama’s in the house

those who had nothing to lose will win again,

because they had to experience no pain

in order to get such great gain.

When Obama’s in the house

government-dependents will have a thrill,

but please remember those of us

who work hard to flit the bill!

When Obama’s in the house

try to think of things this way…

he knows gullible people are out there

and on those he does prey.

When Obama’s in the house

you needn’t try to succeed and be great,

because he will suppress the American dream

taking money you worked hard to create.

Why else would the Democratic Party win

if not for the less fortunate, as they say,

but that implies things came easy to the rich

forcing others to stay in such a way.

But the rich are not more fortunate

because their lives were a piece of cake;

they worked hard to succeed and create jobs,

While others just take, take, take.

As humans we desire greatly

to be part of something bigger than ourself,

and this year, that almighty and powerful something

Is Barack Hussein Obama himself!

While some remain optimistic

knowing the man who should win this great fate,

I’m afraid the right man might lose this battle…

the historic election of 2008.

Everyone seems to have the answers

or we all seem to know the truth,

but I hope you will all put country first

To all bright and discerning tax paying Americans who have yet to vote, but who plan to vote for Obama, I certainly hope the infomercial he aired on national television last night changed your mind. Here is a man who flip flopped about the use of public campaign funding, yet in the end, produced an obtrusive television spot, the first of its kind in the history of presidential campaigns…and hopefully the last. 

This is yet another example of how America is experiencing its first “American Idol election,” and how people are voting for Obama for the wrong reasons.  My 20-something neighbors actually had a party to view this subjective masterpiece made by the one-and-only celebrity presidential candidate, in which Obama talked to people as if they don’t get it and, because of their ignorance and inabilities, will take care of everything for them. In other words, America, you need Obama because you can’t do it yourself.  And heck, don’t even try, because under his plan, you don’t need to. 

Funny…my dad always taught me that if you want something bad enough, you go out and get it; and if you need money, you go out and work.  Period. I have done just that since the age of 16. You don’t get fish if you don’t go fishing. But, if the fisherman wants to give away his fish, then it should be his personal choice not the government’s.

Obama’s infomercial was superfluous prevarication at its best.

RE:          Letter to the Editor, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Cynthia Tucker editorial

CC:         Ken Foskett, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Dear Editorial Board:

In my opinion, it was in poor taste that the AJC chose to run Cynthia Tucker’s piece “No tears for America of yesteryear” in today’s editorial section. Don’t get me wrong—I am a strong supporter of the freedom of speech, but Ms. Tucker took that liberty, provided to us by our Founding Fathers, and abused it, while at the same time, put down the very men who provided her with that right.

Her words scream out “insecure” in a piece where she calls Sadie Fields an ultra-conservative GOP activist who believes “we should all be scared witless about an Obama presidency because it will cause a liberal tsunami that abandons the vision of our Founding Fathers.” Is this editorial some kind of joke? Ms. Tucker wastes no time and fights back, comparing a true statement made about the difference between what our Founding Fathers wanted for this country and how Obama wants to destroy that very foundation and certain principles of The United States Constitution. Has Ms. Tucker forgotten the name of the newspaper for which she writes? Or, perhaps she dislikes America in the same way Michelle Obama did, does…heck, we don’t really know, do we?

Thomas Jefferson said, “A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.” Does Obama see himself as larger than life and smarter than the Founders themselves? One thing is for sure, when he wins this election, his liberal Senate will probably form a filibuster-proof majority, the very thing the Founders fought against in creating a government of limited power…the very thing we politically-aware folks call socialism.

Hey Atlanta. Is anybody else out there outraged by the fact that we cannot go see “An American Carol” in our own hometown?! Well, I am.

Libertarians and conservatives in Atlanta must already run in every direction to avoid liberalism in this city, and if that weren’t enough, we are now forced on a wild goose chase just to see a movie—the first movie of its kind written with conservative politics in mind.

While every Michael Moore film was practically forced down our throat and eagerly shown in Atlanta theaters, leaving an outrageous number of gullible Americans in need of a purpose bigger than themselves brainwashed into believing every biased, far left issue explored by Moore, people with more practical and stalwart views are left unable to view the one movie that comes along providing an alternative side of political issues in a lighthearted format? Preposterous…and very unfair.

Are we living in George Orwell’s novel 1984 or what? Is this a hint of what is to come with an Obama presidency? And, is it possible fear ensued…that if the left-wing public saw this movie before the November 4 election, some minds might just change? In my opinion, absolutely!

For those who keep checking the theater listings, don’t bother. It’s not playing in Atlanta…period. I continue to make calls and investigate who this “Big Brother” is. While I remain persistent, it is curious nobody has yet returned my call to give me a straight answer. In fact, one person at Vivendi, the film’s distribution company, said I was “bothering her.” Am I surprised? Not really. I believe there is something behind this and hope to find the answers.

In the meantime Atlanta, we have a voice. Those of you who wish to see the movie can join with me to examine just who is behind this madness and why somebody, somewhere is trying to make liberals out of all of us.

If you are buying this “95% of Americans will get a tax cut” rhetoric, eloquently spoken I might add, that Barack Obama is spewing out, you’re clearly not a smart shopper.  Obama knows the growing number of disciples who make up the majority of his audience and, in his leading role, plays to them impeccably.

I am a middle-income earning wife and mother, one of the two primary groups of people to whom he is speaking, but I don’t dare test his product.  Do the simple math: 95% of Americans will get a tax cut.  But, approximately 40% of Americans live off government money and pay no taxes whatsoever.  Therefore folks, we would be giving more money to almost half the people he speaks about who have done nothing to earn it.  We already have welfare and Medicaid systems in place, and any further charity should be an individual choice—not forgetting that American people are already the most charitable group around.  So, this 40% of government-loving people already receives checks provided to them via our pockets and hard work, yet you want to elect Barack Obama so they can get more…for nothing?! 

Punishing success is a crime, and giving more to people who don’t work, and in too many cases don't intend to work, is an even bigger crime, perpetuating laziness and a "do-nothing" society.  It’s like telling your dog “no,” he doesn’t listen, but you throw him the bone anyway.  Obama wants to throw an even larger bone to lazy dogs all over America and use more of our taxpayer money to do it.  Put simply, we work harder and harder for our families, and he will punish our work, making it easier for others not to work.  Imagine how our welfare checks and unemployment statistics will increase, not to mention the number of irresponsible American citizens.

Benjamin Franklin said, “I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it.”  Obama wants to encourage the very thing Americans should be discouraging.  I have lived in east Africa and know what it means to be poor…really poor.  Poor in America means you get more for nothing, and in many cases, have a flat-screened television when your neighbor, who works hard to pay his mortgage and feed his children, cannot afford one. 

In the end, under an Obama presidency, hard-working and self-reliant Americans will be penalized.  If you think Obama is telling it straight, he isn’t. He’s talking in a way Americans want and need to hear it, because otherwise, they would read between the lines.  If you are a respectable and contributing American please do the research before you vote on November 4. 

I don’t know about you, but I have always learned you throw a bone to the good dog.

Dear Editorial Board:

I find it deplorable that your newspaper chose to include an article about the cost of Sarah Palin’s makeup artist, yet didn’t run anything about the shocking and highly disregarded corruption of ACORN (The Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now) and one of its involved community organizers, Barack H. Obama.

Look…let’s face it. Obama will probably win in November. And while conservatives will be disappointed, the worst of it is that they will walk away knowing the liberal media, along with ACORN and its contributors, seriously skewed and altered the election. Atlantans, unfortunately, have only one local newspaper to read, and that newspaper, yours, should provide us with justifiable, rational and balanced political information, which includes the use of political comics, of which you choose to run only one by Mike Luckovich, a guy who does nothing but paint a negative picture of conservatives.  Readers who don’t research the issues on their own or work in local politics, such as myself, will believe what they read in your paper. The decision-makers at the AJC, such as Cynthia Tucker, know this, and along with their Obama endorsement, are literally working as an extension of the Obama campaign itself to get this guy elected president.

While ACORN continues to destroy and distort this election and Obama continues to get “the pass” on everything from Reverend Wright to his “a light will shine down” comment, to finally this atrocity of the ACORN scandal, the AJC continues to protect its readers from such critical and dangerous information. Imagine they knew the whole truth?

As I have written before: How can any conscientious and self-reliant American voter support such nonsense?! And, as my friend would say, It’s an “Obamanation!”

The Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now (ACORN) is as corrupt as its outreach program is wide, preying on potential voters in America who know nothing about each presidential candidate’s values, issues, etc. The group is making peculiar and outlandish efforts to find every possible Obama voter…deep into the hills, the hollers, locations miles from civilization, places where some people don’t even know how to read and certainly don’t have the knowledge as to whether or not to vote for Obama, places where people will simply listen to a helpful hand and vote for whom ACORN feels should be the next president. In other words, scam! This drive makes efforts and spends money to go to such people who would have never made the effort on their own (personal responsibility….reminder to those who don’t get it) to register to vote as upstanding and responsible U.S. citizens do regularly.  Even when politically correct Americans move, as I have done many time, one of the first things they do is re-register to vote in a new district or state. 

Acorn’s efforts in this respect are ridiculous, intolerable and drastic—efforts that will dangerously skew this election. The standard system, where we, as loyal Americans, no matter the party, register to vote (and do vote) is somehow not acceptable in this particular election? Interesting, isn’t it? ACORN states our current system “was designed to disenfranchise voters.”  What??!!  Have we really come to this?  Where we need an organization, funded by other organizations and needy followers, etc., to go out and achieve and execute such a thing for people who would otherwise not do it for themselves?  We are not talking about delivering somebody’s groceries or helping a person cross the street—we are talking about adults leading other adults along as if they were children and unable to do for themselves, yet somehow giving them the will and the way to vote for Obama. Think of it this way: Your child has a homework project due the next morning. It’s the night before, and your child doesn’t want to do it. You do your best as a parent to be firm with him or her, but bottom line…he or she must do it or suffer the consequences, which, by the way, are well learned lessons in life. Do you let your child suffer those consequences and go into school the next morning without a finished project? Or, do you complete the project for him or her, thus, teaching your child no personal responsibility lesson whatsoever? One would hope most parents would do the first option, for the second is equivalent to what ACORN is doing; they are doing the homework (and the leg work) for these people…people who should otherwise not vote if they don’t make the effort themselves.

ACORN, as Bill Clinton did in the 90s via the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), also works to mandate that the government sell homes to people who are otherwise not able to buy one—in other words, people who have no income close to affording a home.  Well, that’s life. I was 40 years old with two children when I could finally buy a home, and that was just fine with me. These people shouldn’t have purchased homes, bottom line. And, because Bill Clinton pushed the CRA, this problem has now escalated, and Bush is being blamed for it.  Bush is handling the problem folks; he isn’t the reason for it. This started over a decade ago and is the reason why Charles Krauthammer, famously, calls Bill Clinton a “parenthesis” in the presidential chronology. Things were set in place for him by Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, but he, in turn, set in place what would become part of a monumental screw up for those to follow, in our case, George W. Bush as part of the cleanup crew, and the American people as the private, yet innocent, public investors. Interestingly enough, regulatory changes during the Clinton years allowed community groups better access to CRA information, enabling them to increase their activities. But, at the same time, economists believed the CRA would lower bank profitability…and were they right.

Simply put, it looks better in America if all people—blacks, whites, Asians, Hispanics and any other minority, no matter what they can afford—own homes.  What a mammoth mistake has been made!  The Community Reinvestment Act is real, is not being talked about in mainstream America and has caused much of the momentum for what is happening today, but people are afraid to talk about it.  It, along with its instigators, are protected, as is Obama (which is why we can’t talk about Rezko, Bill Ayers, etc.).

We have all heard the phrase “responsible voter” for most of our adult lives. Let these people get out and register and vote themselves, with the exception of physical disability, handicap or the like, of course. Otherwise, people shouldn’t vote if they don’t make the grown-up effort to take steps in order to do so, just like our kids should do their own homework. Voters are responsible citizens. That is what makes this America…what makes us American. How could any conscientious and self-reliant American support this nonsense?!
