Obama's Planned Thursday Chat With Main Street Americans...My Questions To Him and Some Commentary.

If you visit the White House Propaganda Site you will find President Obama is suppsoedly giving us NORMAL Main Street Americans a chance to have him answer our question...can any one say CHERRY PICKING? Some interesting points about what he is doing...noticably absent from the subjects we could ask questions about were A) Illegal Aliens and Immigration, B) Homeland Security (specifically our Southern Border with Mexico) and C) the Iraq War. Anyway, below are ten of the questions I submitted, as well as some of my own thoughts on his bullshit Q&A with reporters this evening.

My Questions to the President:

"Your supposed Green Jobs initiative seems more like Green Washing what with your wrongful support of Nuclear Energy, funding of USEC's dangerous fuel processing plant. What steps will you take to create REAL GREEN JOBS?" Cosmic Rabbit, Peekskill, NY - Green Jobs and Energy View responses

"Medicare/Social Security (Entitlements) and us 75 Million Boomers. We have paid our dues. This year with employer matching contribution, we paid in $14,000 to these two programs. Why are you stealing our benefits? Why your Boomer Genocide Agenda?" Cosmic Rabbit, Peekskill, NY - Health Care Reform View responses

My Comments on Presidents' Q&A

First, who comes up with these questions the press asks the President? How about asking him why it is ok for 7.5 million Illegal Alien Criminals to have jobs while 12.5 million Americans are out of work?

What too do….I give the Illegal Aliens and those that support them credit for ONE THING…they know how to mobilize, are willing to do whatever it takes to organize and hold MASSIVE RALLIES…meanwhile those of us who are citizens, those of us with rights stand around like sheep waiting to be abused by government and the National Chamber of Commerce.

Where is that DRIVE, THAT DESIRE on the part of Americans, on the part of 75 Million Boomers…seriously, we the Boomers are being set up for a HUGE RAPE….how many listened CAREFULLY to this evenings speech?

Here is the skinny…right, wrong, or confused, OBama (and most of those that support him) have their VISION set on some tomorrow over the horizon, one that 75 Million Boomers cannot see, and will not live to see. They freely admit to get there MEANS GREAT SACRIFICE, and GETTING THERE MEANS NOT SADDLING THEM WITH OUR DEBT….can you read between the lines folks?

Obama’s BIGGEST TARGET is what?

ENTITLEMENTS…Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security…he’s not publicly said it yet, but do some snooping and you will find that Obama wants to push back WHEN we can collect our Social Security….64 will become 68 and the 67 of today is going to be 72! Obama feels this is a FAIR PRICE FOR BOOMERS to pay for his AMERICA OF TOMORROW where Blacks, Browns and White people (notice where white people are in this equation?)are all one big happy multinational Socialist America.

Rationing our SENIOR CARE in Obama’s mind is a fair price for we Boomers to pay for his better tomorrow, his health care for all, better schools and blah, blah, blah….
Here is the problem…why should we BOOMERS give up our Golden Years for a better tomorrow? Why should we die undignified deaths, why should we be forced to eat catfood in our waning years, why should we see our health care reduced to comfort care as Obama pushes us to an early grave in the name of personal sacrifice for a GREATER CAUSE THAN OURSELVES, for HIS VISION OF THE AMREICA OF TOMORROW he wants to leave to his daughters?

Yes, I have some problems with hsi plans.

First, entitlements…WE BOOMERS HAVE ALRADY PAID FOR THEM…the fact that the government stole our money, desparately wants to escape the fact that THEY OWE US is not our problem, and we must not let OBama make it our problem. WE BOOMERS NEED TO GET REAL LOUD REAL QUICK.

I did our taxes today. IF I look at Social Security and factor in our employers matching share, we put $12,648.00 into the system this year. If we retire at 64, we will have paid into the system for 48 years….start doing some quick math, and you quicly realize that THE YOUNGER GENERATION IS NOT GIVING ME/US ANYTHING I/WE HAVE NOT ALREADY PAID FOR! Stop acting like us BOOMERS are the albatross around the necks of those under 35 who are WANTING THEIR TURN YESTERDAY, who feel they OWE US NOTHING but a kick into the coffin.

Medicaid/Medicare…PAY FORWARD…that was the original intent…we put into the system today, and the money properly invested will be there waiting for us in our Senior Years. Again today I paid my taxes….$1546 given over to Medicare/Medicaid that I have not used yet, will not use for at least another 11 years if God’s willing and the creek don’t rise. Like it or not, WE PAID OUR DUES.

In short, Entitlements ARE OUT OF HAND because the government has mismanaged the funds, the government has WRONGFULLY given benefits to those that do not deserve them (IE, Illegal aliens and 4.5 million anchor babies).

I know, jump up and down and scream and yell about me being a racist, but LOOK AT THE FACTS! Medicare/Medicaid was NEVER INTENDED for those people (US OR THEM), but it has been used for THOSE PEOPLE, and now that the system is on the verge of insolvency, the younger generation wants to make us BOOMERS THOSE PEOPLE, wants to paint us out as the SELFISH ORGERS standing in the way of Obama’s Utopian Tomorrow.
What bothers me, is much like the Jews in Hitler’s Germany we Boomers seem to be meekly accepting our fate, wrongfully believing that the government and the youth will WAKE UP TO OUR PLIGHT, will DO RIGHT BY US, will not march us off to internment camps (nursing homes) to die. Don’t kid yourselves folks…look at the writing on the wall, take a GOOD LOOK AROUND and you know i AM RIGHT….IN THE NAME OF OBAMA’s DREAM, in the name of a better tomorrow, in the name of giving those under 35 what they need in the way of health care, better schools, access to college, so forth and so on, WE BOOMERS WILL BE WAREHOUSED in cinder block prisons as the youth impatiently WAIT FOR US TO DIE.

Green Jobs That Pay A Living Wage

This post is compliments of my newest Blogging Effort, Green White House, where OBama's promise of a new Green Economy is graded, discussed and written about. He said in Elkhart Indiana today that Americans need a Living Wage...well, what is a living wage, and once you know what a living wage is, where is Congress in MANDATING IT? Green White House has thrown out some food for thought on this subject, and it is my hope that some of you will add to the discussion in the comments section here or over there.

Defining Living Wage Is Key To a Green Economy

In Saturday's post it was pointed out to Mr, Obama that Green Jobs are not exactly at the top of the pay scale, are not the kind of jobs people are going to want to fill...low pay and few if any benefits are not the model for a paradigm shift in the American Work Force to a Green Economy, which is what is needed to fully address Global Warming. If Obama is going to create 3-4 million GREEN JOBS, shouldn't we first define what a living wage should be?

We do not need three to four million poor paying McDonanld's type jobs with poor benefits, we need three to four million jobs that a person can support a family with...where is our Federal Government in their efforts too SAVE OUR ECONOMY, in doing the necessary homework to make sure they are creating the right kind of jobs, rather than simply throwing money at companies and hoping they will do the right thing by Ameriuca's work force.

Doing some thinking on the subject, and based on both adults in the family working full time, I would suggest the following components as part of a living wage:

1. Sick Leave-one day acrued for each month of employment, with a maximum cap of 120 days of accrued sick leave. (These days can be used because the employee is sick, or a member of their family is sick and needs personal care.)

2. Paid Holidays-Christmas, New Year's Day, 4th of July, Memorial Day, Labor Day,Thanksgiving to be combined with four personal holidays for a total of ten days per year.

3. Paid major medical coverage that includes dental, eye care and a reduced prescription plan.

4. Minimum of two weeks paid vacation per year with a guaranteed climb to four weeks paid vacation with five years of seniority with the company.

5. Looking at the various costs incurred by a AVERAGE FAMILY of four including utilities, mortgage and even our taxes at all levels of government, the average family needs to earn $60,000 a year to live a relatively comfortable lifestyle and cover their bases. That comes out to a gross income of $30,000 per year per adult in the family. To make a long storty short, a Minimum Wage on a National Basis of $11.50 per hour could attain this goal of a living wage with a bit of a cushion to spare.

The Federal Government, our elected members of Congress could make this goal a reality passing a Living Wage Bill, a new workers Bill of Rights. The time has come to do right by America's MAjority, the backbone that has built this nation from the ground up, the true creators of all that wealth selfishly held by the UBER RICH.

Prime Time Obama...Here We Go!

In Six Days, Many of Us Are Still Broke, In Six Days Many of Us Are Still Going To Be Unemployed Because Illegal Aliens Hold Our Jobs, Have Depressed Our Wages! IN SIX DAYS WE WILL STILL BE BROKE BECAUSE OF WALL STREET GREED, AND GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION...WHERE IS OUR BAILOUT?

The desk setting is a bit OVER KILL! The chair a tacky one.

Bit hard to have sympathy for someone that seems incapable of keeping the size of her family down where she and her husband can afford it. Sorry, but if you have 6, 8, or more kids, don't bitch about your ECONOMIC PROBLEMS. Get your tubes tied! It is unfair to make the rest of American Society contribute to your LARGE FAMILY.

So now the tax break is only for those earning under $200K. Putting a 90 day stop on foreclosures IS NO HELP AT ALL to those losing their homes. Let's be honest.

Living wage, finding a job...we COULD FIND JOBS THAT PAY LIVING WAGES if we deport all those here illegally. Be HONEST OBAMA, illegal aliens are hurting the very people you claim you want to help! Yet in Colorado this week, you touted what amounts to AMNESTY when you said you would provide illegal aliens a pathway to citizenship.

On medical bills...be honest Obama...at least half of those who do not have medical coverage are illegal aliens! I want to know, does your Comprehensive/Universal Health Care give coverage to Illegal Aliens?

Tax credits for fuel efficient cars amounts to a GIVE AWAY to the rich and elite...most lower and middle class Americans cannot afford to buy new cars, but instead buy used ones.

Moral Obligation to give every child a world class education...curious here Barack Obama...what about those children that are now adults who are held back because that promise was never kept...are we included in your plan to provide that world class education, or are we once again being left out, being asked to sacrifice for those who follow in our footsteps?

This is our moment...tell me Obama...tell this Boomer how this is our moment. The equity in my home is GONE, our retirement account has lost $160,000 in the past eight months, and illegal aliens brought a pricing structure to the landscaping industry that saw me close my business and give up my license. Tell me Obama, how is this OUR MOMENT? All I have heard from both you and John McCain are empty promises, and expectations about what I should give up for those who will follow in my footsteps. Curious...does OUR TURN ever come? As a White 53 year old Boomer, I lost jobs for Affirmative Action. In 1986, people like me grinned and boar it when Reagan granted Amnesty. For the past eight years under Bush I watched Illegal Aliens lowering wages, stealing American jobs, and now you want me to vote for you so that you can grant 12-25 million illegal aliens AMNESTY? Is that what you call involving me and others like me in our government? Sacrifice so that others can own, have and steal MY AMERICAN DREAM? Sacrifice for those that follow behind me...no offense, but many of us have been SACRIFICING NOW OUR WHOLE LIFE for one group or another...WHEN IS IT OUR TURN, and speaking of turns, WHERE IS THE SOCIAL SECURITY WE PAID FOR?
