Previewing Obama's "State Of The Economy" Speech

My Fellow American's:

We are a strong nation, and our future is bright if you each are willing to give up your dreams of today for those that will follow in your footsteps. Boomers...I want each of you tonight to grab your collective ankles, bend over naked, and perpare to be FUCKED UP THE ASS like you have never before BEEN FUCKED.

1. If you have health care, you are not going to like what I'm going to do to your benefits. Your days of having first class Medical Coverage are coming to an end.

2. If your are 50 years old or older and planning on retirement any time soon forget about it. To save Social Security we are going to push the age of retirement BACK significantly. Fact is, we just cannot afford all you Boomers! We can save Social Security, but only if we screw you guys, and I MEAN ROYALLY! If we keep you working, keep you contributing into the system until you are 72, I think we can Save Social Security for those of us under 50...sorry you old DIRT BAGS, but like I said, you are SO FUCKED.

3. Medicare/Medicaid needs reformed, and again it is all you OLD FUCKERS that are ruining it for the rest of us. You are old, so who gives a rats ass if you lose everything trying to stay alive. We are going to CUT YOUR BENEFITS, and make you pay more money up front for the benefits that stay in place. OH...another thing. We have decided those over 72 are only going to be entitled to nuture care, but no life saving treatments...simply stated, WE ARE GOING TO LET YOU DIE WITH DIGNITY.

Left, Right, Center...Obama's War To Redefine and Own Middle Ground

Lets be clear folks...Politics makes strange bed fellows, and Obama has DECLARED WAR on both the Far Left and Far Right, is trying to own the middle by redefining it, creating if you will a new Hybrid Centrist Politician. The question then becomes, WHO WILL BE THE VICTIMS of Obama's GREAT GAMBLE?

The first victims will be those that sit on the far right, or the far left of the political spectrum...in some ways, in his dream to create an almost Socialistic Democracy, Obama wants to destroy the gate keepers that have kept America anchored. By redefining the middle, and what that middle is, he is trying to portray those on the far left and far right as being so extreme in their politics as to be considered heretics.

A perfect example is the War In Iraq...remember the promise made in the election? Look at how much Obama's message and position on Iraq and making war has suddenly changed. Now his message is all about GETTING IT RIGHT (open ended commitments). How much of the right can he pull into the center with that new message that is much closer to theirs than a sixteen month deadline? Is it enough to give a heave ho to those far left folks that HELPED Obama GET ELECTED...could be, and he seems to think so, distances himself from his promises where the Pentagon is concerned on a daily basis. For those thinking it is the Daily Briefing Reports and reality on the ground...horse shit, look at who his Right Hand Man in the Pentagon is...no more than George W. Bush's own hand picked man, Mr. Gates. Don't think that was not deliberate.

To get health care through, he is trying to do two things...get Universal Coverage through (which the left wants) while presenting it as being fiscally responsible, the right thing to do if we are going to solve the business community's biggest problem in being competitive moving forward. So who pays the price for this new Hybrid Plan. First, a major segment of the Boomers stand to take a Blood Bath with Obama's proposal...IE, my wife as a part of her Union Benefits is guaranteed Quality Health Care for life once she has hit 55. It is the prize if you will for actually being at the SAME PLACE now for 30 plus years.

OBama's plan would take that away from her even after SHE HAS EARNED IT. He will try to force us to accept this price by promising us our pain here saves us our Social Security Benefits...FOLKS, HE IS LYING. Sadly, he will not care. If he can pull this off, he pulls into his New Middle Wagon some of the Political Left, and some of the Conservative Money Wonks that are all about fiscal responsibility...promises and honor debt be damned. To get Health Care Reform through, he is going to rely upon George Bush's politics of FEAR...THE SKY IS FALLING, THE SKY IS FALLING, and couple it with what can only be called the new Hurry Up Offense of politics.

RAM THE FUCKER THROUGH BEFORE WE GET CAUGHT! Don't worry about COLLATERAL DAMAGE, if I can get this new Right, Left, Center New Centrist Boat out to sea before the Far Left and Far Right Unify to FIGHT US, we will have changed politics forever! We will have created a New Socialist Democratic Nation here in America. If you have health coverage, if you are guaranteed health coverage in your retirement, you are about too get screwed at the Altar of Health Care Reform and Comprehensive Coverage as Obama gives a little bit of coverage to EVERYONE including up to 25 million Illegal Aliens and their 4.5 Million Anchor Babies in the name of his NEW DEAL.

Can hear the banshees howling in the wind...Go ahead, call me a lunatic if you will, but look at the new so called PROGRESSIVE AGENDA being shoved down the throats of Main Street Americans...watch as the New Young Yuppie Progressives shape their vision of a New America where the NEW UBER SOMEWHAT WEALTHY put themselves in control, replacing a UBER RICH dynasty with an almost rich, little bit more liberal one! The backroom Scotch Drinking Cigar Smokers replaced with the Brie and Merlot sailboat millionaires and billionaires that want the huddled, starving masses to have health care while continuing to work for Slave Wages...can someone throw a PRAISE JESUS into the mix to win us over a few Christians as we build this boat?

Second Amendment Right to bear ARMS...lets neuter it as many of the middle left and middle right never liked guns anyway, and we can throw a BIG BONE to the far left in the hopes of pulling some of them into the boat. INSURANCE, a million dollar policy on EVERY GUN you own...OH YEAH, that one will do it, a sin tax if you will on owning guns that will bring on board our new boat the INSURANCE FOLKS and their STRONG LOBBY. We are giving them a WHOLE NEW PRODUCT LINE TO SELL, creating new jobs here in America for insurance salesman while taking away Second Amendment Rights for...well, the poor and middle class, but it is FOR THEIR OWN GOOD. We cannot have the disaffected masses carrying around guns now can we? If you are upwardly mobile or RICH, this gun liability insurance isn't going to stop YOU from owning a gun now is it...come on board, get in the boat with us...let's be careful on this one boys, we don't want to get burnt if it backfires. How about getting these bills started ON A STATE LEVEL so we have some cover.

Nationalize the BANKS...no, wouldn't be PRUDENT...instead, lets just make sure we own such a LARGE CHUNK of their stocks that we basically do own them, basically Nationalize the banking industry without doing so, and make the LITTLE PEOPLE on Main Street pay. When the time is right, we'll resell all the Federal Reserve stock to those of us in the know at a REALLY GOOD PRICE. Those of us in the know have already bailed out of banking industry stocks, so we are only hurting those with 401 K's, and they cannot get out if they wanted to.

GOD, it was DEVIOUSLY BRILLIANT to put that TEN PERCENT PENALTY CLAUSE in when we created those 401 K Retirement accounts so long ago! Let them think they are rich, but tie up all their assets so they cannot get to them when the waters get turbulent...love watching Main Street TAKING A BLOOD BATH...who cares if the poor bastards have to work till they are in their 70's? Don't they understand this is the only way we can save Social Security for ourselves...FUCK THOSE BABY BOOMERS, who were they to think they could retire at 60-64 any way? This was all planned...when we were ready, and just before the Boomers start retiring in MASS CRUSH the 401 K and pension plans INTO WORTHLESSNESS by deliberately crashing the market. It redistributes wealth to the UBER RICH Where it belongs, forces and keeps Boomers working for an extra ten years, thus keeping us from having to repay all that money we stole from the Social Security accounts over the past 40 years! BRILLIANT!

All the politicians and Corporate America got left to do now, is make all those under 50 happy by passing through AMNESTY, and freeing up lending so that those under 40 can come in after the real estate Blood Bath we Boomers took, and buy up our now worthless homes at Bargain Basement PRICES! Who cares...they are OLD PEOPLE anyway...why don't they hurry up and DIE.

Go ahead Main Street and Baby Boomers, sit quietly by wringing your hands in worry as your government rapes you...OR, you could ORGANIZE, you could take to the streets, you COULD MAKE SOME NOISE...hell, it works for the Illegal Aliens, did it ever occur it could work for you?

Attention Boomers...Obama and Congress Want to FAST TRACK Stealing Your Social Security

Calling all 75 Million BOOMERS TO ACTION. For decades our Federal Government has stolen our funds from the Social Security System. If you do the math, there should be plenty of money there for us, as we have put it there...problem is, Obama and Congress do not want to make good on the Federal Governments IOU's sitting there in place of OUR MONEY.

If you listen closely, the power brokers are getting ready to STEAL WHAT IS OURS. Twice today during the White House Fiscal Health of The Nation Summit Press Conference the early rumblings of a FAST TRACK WAY to make the Social Security (unfunded liability) problem go away was brought up. In short, Obama and Congress want to FUCK 75 Million Boomers. This means one of two things...a significant cut in the amount of Social Security benefits we HAVE ALREADY EARNED/PAID FOR that we will recieve. The talk on the street is a cut back of up to 50 percent in our BOOMER Social Security Payments. The other option is to FORCE US TO WORK LONGER by pushing our age to start collecting Social Security back to the age of 72. Either way, Obama has decided we ARE THE LAMBS OF SACRIFICE! Are you ready to work for EIGHT MORE YEARS...should you be FORCED to work eight more years? Face it, Obama wants to ENSLAVE BOOMERS, turned us into FORCED LABOR in the name of Saving Social Security for FUTURE GENERATIONS.

First, to Obama...you are a smart Harvard Graduate, so do some basic math. If an American puts in say $5,000 a year(on average) from the age of 16 until they are 64, that is a total contribution into the system of $240,000. If you double that to accurately reflect the matching contribution from our employer(s), and in REAL DOLLARS we have contributed $480,000 over the course of our working carreers. Assuming NO GROWTH in the 48 years that government had our money, and assumming a five percent rate of return in our retirement years, without touching principle we would get a yearly check of $24,000...that is MORE MONEY that we will get under the current plan. So, where do you and Congress get off at in saying you want to address the UNFUNDED LIABILITY OF SOCIAL SECURITY? A good piece of advice....it would be in America's best interest NOT TO FUCK WITH SOMETHING WE HAVE EARNED...the fact that Government FUCKED UP, SPENT OUR MONEY STUPIDLY does not mean we have not funded for our Golden Years, and I would venture to say you will see MASS REVOLT if you think you are going to ROB US BLIND under the guise of FAST TRACKING Entitlement Reform to address unfunded liability.

To the BOOMERS...all 75 Million of us. Washington DC wants to make US THE ECONOMIC SCAPEGOATS, wants us to be the generation to DIE IN POVERTY for the GOOD OF A NATION and FOR THE GOOD OF THOSE THAT WILL FOLLOW IN OUR FOOTSTEPS (including up to 25 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS AND THEIR CHILDREN). We need to organize IMMEDIATELY, and HIT THE OFFICES WITH A EMAIL PHONE FIST BLITZ like they have NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

1. Demand your right to have your Social Security protected,and FULLY FUNDED.

2. Demand E Verify be made mandatory, and that all Illegal Aliens be deported, and inelligible to collect Social Security benefits of any kind.

Post Thanksgiving Updates

Greetings Readers:

Do apologize for the absense, but Thanksgiving is one of my/our favorite holidays, and as upsetting as the terrorists attacks in India were, was not about to intrude on family time to blog about it. My approach to terrorists and terrorism is (to quote Mr. Natural) plain and to the point...I hold moderate Muslims accountable, believe they are failing to police their own, so I would bomb a Mosque every time Radical Islamic Muslim terrorists strike anywhere in the world...call it TOUGH LOVE, but I believe it would not take long for the supposed moderates to bring their own radical fringe into line.
As to Obama and his transition efforts...WHERE IS THE CHANGE? Further, am more than a bit upset with his Pro-BIG BUSINESS, Pro Illegal Alien, Anti American Middle Class Cabinet that he is putting together...if he thinks Main Street Americans will take AMNESTY for Illegal Aliens, he is sadly mistaken.
On the Chambliss win...WHO CARES? The pundits are acting as if America has now sent Obama a message to govern from the center...HORSE FUCKING SHIT...Georgia, a redneck, rabid right wing Southern Red state did what they usually do...send a Republican to the Senate. That is not a message from America for Obama to govern from the center.
The up, down and sideways stockmarket...screw the day traders and money whores, and jump in while the bargains abound...in five years you will be glad you did, as the market over the long haul is ALWAYS a winner...to those Boomers who were right on the verge on retiring...WHOOPS, you got caught by the short hairs. To those in the 65 and over AARP group that are whining...get over it, it was/is your GREED that kept us from salvaging Social Security affordably because you were unwilling to share equally in the bailout...I have no sympathy for any of you, only anger and resentment that you have been spending MY GENERATIONS payments into the fund.

What Will Tomorrow Bring? A Boomer Calls For Fairness

It's Sunday evening, November 2nd and we as a nation are rapidly approaching the end of what has been a far to long Presidential Campaign. If the rest of America is like I am, they are tired, exhausted, ready to have it all over with. No more pundits telling us what to think, no more maps, no more polls, no more senseless attack ads as our phones signal yet another Robo Call coming in. Bruce Springsteen (the Boss) sings about change as the Obama family takes the stage in Cleveland, Ohio. Most agree, most are anticipating a Barack win on Tuesday, are expecting Obama to be our President Elect come November 5th.

One thing is certain...we are on the precipice of change. The question is, what kind of a change are we about to see, and is it possible to get enough Americans on the same game page to make that change a positive experience for American families, a coming together of America as a nation as we move into even greater days ahead, or will those changes tear apart our nation at the seams as our divisions pull us even further apart. Red verse blue states, conservative verse liberal, lower and middle class against both the elite and illegals, the boomers declaring war on everyone that expects us once again to sacrifice in the name of everybody else.

Leave no doubt, America is a divided nation, a nation that has been infected by some horrid diseases such as greed, corruption, and even illegal immigration. No matter who is elected, one thing is certain...both Presidential candidates are expecting those who live on Main Street to make great sacrifices for a better tomorrow, and it is those sacrifices, how they are crafted, how they are presented that will unite us as a nation, or tear us apart.

I can only speak for myself, can only give voice to my own heart, can only address Barack Obama as one Boomer, but it is my belief that many across this once great land share my sentiments, my passions, and my angers. As one of 75 Million Boomers, as one person in what is the largest voting block America has even known, I am tired of being treated as a second class citizen who is always being the one doing the sacrificing, always being told it's not our turn. No longer am I willing to SACRIFICE so that the next generation, or illegal aliens, or people of color can have their opportunity...I want my turn, and more importantly, I want just what is due me, nothing more and nothing less. I don't want to pay for a Wall Street Bailout when Wall Street Trashed my 401K, and I don't want to Sacrifice my Social Security income to say Social Security for my children, and their children...I don't even have children, so why should I starve to save something for those I do not even know?

Let me try to put this seeming selfishness into proper perspective.

I was four years old when John F. Kennedy was elected president, I shook his hand in Louisville Kentucky. I grew up as a child with Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Desegregation, LBJ, Robert Kennedy, the Vietnam War, and the Civil Rights Movement that brought with it Affirmative Action. These eyes have seen and lived a lot of history, watched assassinations of our leaders, watched protests as blacks demanded equal rights, watched protests as Americans demanded the end of a wrong war, and watched as my parents and their parents adjusted to a different world where words like nigger were no longer appropriate, a world where their children (me)went to school and shared classrooms with people of a different color.

In the 70's, and for part of the 80's I can remember first hand applying for jobs, being told they could not hire me because affirmative action required that good union jobs were being given to minorities...I was a young man, I'd had nothing to do with the sins of the past, but I and others like me were asked to pay the price to level the playing field. Not asking for a medal, but am asking for some honesty...many of us in the Boomer generation paid the tab for Affirmative Action, are in some ways still paying that bill.

In the 80's, we watched as Illegal Aliens swelled our ranks, lowered our wages, and stole our jobs. We listened to, and believed Ronald Reagan when he called for us to accept an Amnesty, took him and our Federal Government at their word when they promised us it would be the last such Amnesty. We accepted the cost of absorbing millions of illegals, then as now, many of them from various Latin countries.

We played by the rules, accepted without question the sacrifices we were asked to make in the name of a better America. We paid the price for Affirmative Action, we paid the price to absorb millions of illegal aliens into our economy, and we did as our elders and our leaders asked. We paid into the Social Security System, accepted a huge increase in what we had to pay into that system. We embraced the concept of 401K's and Individual Retirement Accounts, and faithfully invested our income into these vehicles as we invested in America while putting away for our own Golden Years.

The second tsunami of illegal aliens started in the Clinton years, and instead of protecting us, the American Worker, our government sided with Big Business, embraced the concept of a One World Economy, embraced the concept that cheap wages were a good thing for bottom line profits, and therefore good for America...they were and are wrong. Loans were made to people who could not afford them, and a recipe for disaster was mixed, and once again the crisis we as a nation now face, the cost of fixing it has to be born, and it is obvious that both McCain and Obama think we Boomers should once again tighten our belts, pull up our boots and suck it in for the good of the nation.

To quote OBama, "Not this time!" We are not willing to have our Federal Government force us to continue working for an extra three, four, even five years in the name of saving Social Security...HELL NO, it is time that our Federal Government PAY BACK THOSE IOU's in the Social Security cookie jar. If you can force taxpayers to pick up a one trillion dollar bill for the bailout of Wall Street, then you can repay what you as a government have stolen from us Baby Boomers.

You want to overhaul the health care system, want to have health care for all...NOT if you are intending on using our tax dollars to provide health insurance for those who are here in American Illegally. Half of those uninsured are illegal aliens and their children...WE WILL NOT SACRIFICE to give them benefits they do not deserve. Hell no, not this time!

World Class educations...where is OUR WORLD CLASS EDUCATION? Give us that same opportunity, let us teach in our Golden Years in exchange for that World Class Education we never had a shot at. Don't ask us to pay for something we ourselves are not going to be given access too! How many blacks and other minorities got a chance at a world class education thanks to Affirmative Action? How many whites were denied that same opportunity because (lets be honest) we were the wrong color, even though our family finances were no better. Many of us BOOMERS paid that price for affirmative action, and now we want OUR EQUAL RIGHTS, WANT OUR EQUAL OPPORTUNITY. We are not going to stand still while Big Business and our Federal Government once again steal our dream, this time giving it to illegal aliens...Hell no, NOT THIS TIME.

You speak of GOOD PAYING JOBS...what good are those jobs if you allow corporate America to SHIP IN WORKERS through A) the H1 Visa program, and B) through unchecked illegal immigration coupled with rampant hiring of illegal aliens. We are not willing to accept AMNESTY (a pathway to citizenship), are not willing to see our Federal Government provide AMNESTY for 12-25 million illegal alien criminals. The gravy train is over, and if we are going to accept the sacrifices you need us to accept in the name of saving our economy, and our nation, it is going to come with a cost and the first DEMAND WE HAVE, is the DEPORTATION OF ILLEGAL ALIENS, the imprisonment of all those who hire them, imprisonment of those who aid and abet them in remaining in America, such as the Catholic Church. If you want a NEW DEAL with Main Street Americans, then we get to be FIRST IN LINE, rather than always being the ones to sacrifice in the name of some other interest group.

Affirmative Action...NO MORE, that slate needs to be wiped clean, it is time to end reverse racism, time for all citizens of America to have equal opportunity, regardless of race, creed or color...Affirmative Action is a wrong sighted, racist system that must come to an end. Martin Luther King's dream is realized with Obama's presidency, and it is unfair to continue penalizing White's for the color of our skin. We want A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD, and that reality can only be realized with the elimination of Affirmative Action.

Change is coming, and that change can be good or it can be bad. Good change will see America rise to new heights as we lead the world through the 21st century. Choose wrongly, continue to oppress and depress the middle class, continue to kowtow to illegal aliens, and you will see revolt in the streets, a civil war fought with modern days weapons in the streets of America as tens of millions are slaughtered on the altar of CHEAP WAGES and Corporate Profits. The time has come that we have a government that takes care of WE THE PEOPLE, the people being those people who are LEGAL CITIZENS AND IMMIGRANTS OF AMERICA. We the people means we put a moratorium on all immigration for a period of five-ten years while we retrain and re-employ our own citizens. If our government continues in its efforts to bankrupt and eliminate the middle class, we will see war here in America as brother kills brother and Main Street burns to the ground.

Under One Hour Till Debate...Questions I Would Like To See Answered

1. Wall Street and Washington DC corruption have all but crippled our economy, special interest lobbying and greed having almost destroying the Middle Class. As President, are you willing on your first day in office to close down K Street, and chase the special interest/corporate lobbyists out of town? If yes, how would you go about it, and if not, you have just lost my vote.

2. The National Chamber of Commerce in the name of corporate profits have been protecting illegal aliens for decades in the name of cheap wages. As President, are you willing in your first 100 days ready to A) Close and secure our Southern Border with Mexico, our airports and other entry points, B) Criminalize the hiring and/or aiding and abetting of illegal aliens working in America with a mandatory prison sentence, C)authorize raids at both homes and work places to deport those working here illegally, and D) put a five year moratorium on work visas for people from foreign countries seeking work in America? If you are prepared to take these steps, how would you go about implementing them? If you are not willing to implement these steps, you have just lost my vote.

3. For decades the Federal Government has stolen our Social Security funds, leaving a worthless IOU in their place. Are you willing to take IMMEDIATE measures to repay those funds with interest to SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY for us 75 million Baby Boomers who have been paying into the system now for 30-40 years so that our retirement years are protected?
