Obama and Abe Lincoln- And The Beat(ing) Goes On Part 40




So I said to him, "Barack, I know Abe Lincoln,
And you ain't Abe Lincoln ."
Obama a Democrat has made numerous attempts to quote Lincoln a Republican.

SO WHY DOESN'T OBAMA USE THIS FAMOUS LINCOLN QUOTE:

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.

... Abraham Lincoln

Sunday Music Time- Closing Thoughts on Veterans Day in Music

l


 For all the Veterans who ever served and their families. 

Veteran's Day Continued--Lest We Forget

In real leadership there is humility, expressed in actions and words.  

"There's always someone who is remembering for us. No matter what time of year it is or what time of day, there are always people who come to this cemetery, leave a flag or a flower or a little rock on a headstone. And they stop and bow their heads and communicate what they wished to communicate. They say, "Hello, Johnny," or "Hello, Bob. We still think of you. You're still with us. We never got over you, and we pray for you still, and we'll see you again. We'll all meet again." In a way, they represent us, these relatives and friends, and they speak for us as they walk among the headstones and remember. It's not so hard to summon memory, but it's hard to recapture meaning."

-- President Ronald Reagan, November 11, 1985

NEVER FORGET, My Veterans Day Memorial

The day set aside for Remembrance of our Veterans is fast approaching and I want to get this posted so that others will have time to pass it on  and/or just reflect on it. This is a special song done by the Oak Ridge Boys. Some of you may have heard it, others not but it is very suitable for this time in our history. 
Many of our older Vets from WW2 have already passed on and more die each and every day. Those who served in Korea find their ranks thinning each year. And now those of us who served in Viet Nam are finding our ranks thinning as well. They are gone but not forgotten. 

Listen to the song and if your eyes are dry at the end perhaps you need to ask yourself why. (Some say the link does not work but this one should do it)   http://silverandgoldandthee.net/V/Lil.html 


Below I have listed Family and some special friends who have served and I offer a salute to them. The list is also for those who paid the full price on that "blank check" they signed upon entering the Armed Forces of this country. 

To those who served this country, I salute you.

To my Uncle D.P.,(Deceased) North Africa campaign, Sicily, Italy Campaign, Invasion of Normandy, captured at Argonne Forest (Battle of the Bulge)  and spent the rest of the war as a POW. He was released in 1945, after the war was over. I salute you!
To my former Father in law, now deceased, Milton (Mutt) Boaz) 101st Airborne, Invasion of Normandy,  captured at the Battle of the Bulge. and was POW for over 6 months.  I salute you!

Tea Party and OWS and Liberal Predictability Index

I have read some good post on the difference between the Tea Party and the OWS but this one is probably as close to being the best as it gets.

Doug goes on with another post called the Liberal Predictability Index. 

If that one doesn't set you to laughing and agreeing then you must be in the wrong camp folks.

Sunday Music Time





ONE PAIR OF HANDS.   The words are tremendous as well as the music. 

The voice may sound familiar but it is not who you may think it is.  The artist is Carroll Roberson.

 About Carroll Roberson:

From the little town of Ripley, Mississippi, the Lord has called Carroll Roberson to minister to people all over the world.   After being saved by the Lord's grace at the age of twenty-eight and after the Lord brought him through a cancerous operation on his throat one year later, Carroll went into full-time ministry.
After serving two years as a pastor, he felt the Lord leading him into evangelism.  Since 1987, Carroll has been preaching revivals, crusades and singing his music for our wonderful Savior to millions of people.  Carroll's music has opened numerous doors over the years for him to share Jesus Christ in word and song.  His music has brought him national and international success recording over twenty-five albums and writing over one hundred songs.  His music has become one of the most listened to in Christian music today.
His clear unique style ministers to a wide range of people from young to old and even foreign countries. One of his albums, "His Hand In Mine", has sold over 100,000 copies.  Even though he has received numerous awards and dozens of hit songs, his first love is preaching God's word.

House Creates Job's Bills --But Obama Can't Wait

Over and over  for months on end we have heard Obama's new Election campaign slogan of We Can't Wait. Of course it was suppose to pertain to his so called Jobs Bill, which actually didn't exist for weeks after he announced such and then it languished on Harry (Dead on Arrival) Reid's desk because of the lack of votes to pass the NOJobs Bill in the Senate. Naturally Harry immediately blamed the Republicans for not allowing it to pass. Now it has become Obama's NONSTOP Campaign Slogan because he knows that the NOJobs Bill was a failure from day one but it sure plays well to the uninformed, ignorant voters who make up Obama's base.

Harry pulled the "nuclear" in order to stop any motions on the Bill or it's attachments, of which there were many, in order to stop and up or down vote on any or all of the attachments. It cut all discussion and all calls for votes but that was OK with Harry. He chose to stop the embarrassment for the Democrats caused by such votes and once again attempted to rammed through another piece of legislation that could not stand up to scrutiny. 

The broken and battered pieces, chosen very carefully by Obama, knowing they have no chance to pass, are now being presented in the Senate and used as his talking points on the campaign trail. Seems these are faring as well as the whole bill , in other words , going no where and again the Republicans, who are in the minority. take the blame. No mention of the Democrats who won't touch that piece of rotten legislation with a ten foot pole however by the LSM.

Over in the House it seems that the NO Jobs Bill has languished for weeks with only one sponsor ( John Larson D-CT).  Of course the Bill calls for tax hikes and promises to public unions but does nothing to create jobs and continues to add to the deficit.  It appears to be a repeat of Obama's other failed jobs stumbulus. If $862 billion couldn't reduce unemployment as promised then how can $447 billion be expected to do any better.  With the ninety new sponsors it would appear that it is nothing more than a pre-election payoff for Obama's base of public unions. 

Meanwhile the Republicans in the House are being criticized for not passing his NOJobs Bill by Obama, even at the G-20 Summit meeting in France to discuss the European Unions financial debacle. He needs to stay at home, stop campaigning and work on the DEBT and JOBS problem here rather than handing it off to Reid and Pelosi, union thugistas, OWS morons and the like.

Of course no one ever hears of the bills being presented and PASSED in the House in a BIPARTISIAN manner. While the Democrats in the Senate failed again this week on two separate votes to pass anything related to Obama's NOJobs Bill the Republican's and a handful of Democrats were hard at work in the House.
The Republican House has passed some 17 bills related to job creation.

Here are some of them: March 31 they passed H.R. 872, The Reducing Regulatory Burdens Act, joined by 57 Democrats; May 5 they passed H.R. 1230, the Restating American Offshore Leasing Now Act, with 33 Democrats; May 11 they passed H.R. 1229, the Putting the Gulf of Mexico Back to Work Act, supported by 28 Democrats; May 12 they passed H.R. 1231, the Reversing President Obama's Offshore Moratorium Act, along with 21 Democrats; June 22 they passed H.R. 2021, The Jobs and Energy Permitting Act, and 23 Democrats voted for it; July 26 they passed H.R. 1938, The North American Made Energy Security Act, with 47 Democrat votes; October 6 they passed H.R. 2681, The Cement Sector Regulatory Relief Act, joined by 25 Democrats; October 13 they passed H.R. 2250, The EPA Regulatory Relief Act, H.R. 2250, with 41 Democrats; and finally, October 14 they passed H.R. 2273, The Coal Residuals Reuse and Management Act, H.R. 2273, along with 37 Democrats.

In other words, Senate Lead- Prevaricator Harry Reid (D-NV) is lying, and so is Obama when they blame Republicans. But then, what's new about that. 





Thanks goes to the Patriot Post for the list of Bills submitted by the Republican House .

And The Beat(ing) Goes On. Obama- The Hands On POTUS!



 

"What [Obama] spoke about [last week] was tweaking the student loan program, which he now controls. ... [I]t turns out what he is offering the students is between $4.50 and $7.70 a month of relief. ... If his audience had known how minuscule is the benefit, he would have been laughed out of that auditorium." --columnist Charles Krauthammer

"President Obama made new rules to lower student loan payments which don't apply to delinquent borrowers. The program is only open to people who are current on their payments. Helping people who aren't in financial trouble is what he accused Bush of doing." --comedian Argus Hamilton

These are important steps that will help more homeowners refinance at lower rates, save consumers money and help get folks spending again,” the President said in remarks to the press in Las Vegas.
WHAT HE DIDN'T SAY: Your ability to take advantage of HARP will depend on payment history and other factors including credit score, the structure of the current home financing and specific lender guidelines.



“This is an appropriate balancing of risk that’s being borne by Fannie and Freddie, and hence the American taxpayer. (Yep, we're still paying. SEE ABOVE PICTURE) This will make HARP more available.”(FHFA’s acting director, Edward DeMarco, )  Wonder if he is one of those who got a million dollar bonus for "trying". 


Redistribution of wealth:(SEE ABOVE PICTURE FOR EXAMPLE) "The middle class and those who aspire to it have been sacrificing for the better part of 30 years right now and have seen their income go down and the share of taxes that they pay has been significant and so I think that right now what we need to create fairness [and] ask those who have benefited so much from things that we have all paid for -- for roads and the education of their workers and all the things that we all pay for -- I think it's time for them to pay their fair share. This isn't about revenge. This isn't about punishment. This is just about fairness." --Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL)
