From Obscurity to Nothing

Read this article sent to me by Chuck, a co-worker of mine:

Remember Obama
Where Obama is concerned, it just gets curiouser and curiouser.

Subject: Fw: No Classmates Remember Obama

This is truly interesting....

Looking for evidence of Obama's past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there, but none remembered him.

Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama, a political science major at Columbia who also graduated in 1983. In 2008, Root says of Obama, "I don't know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all know me.

I don't have a classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia . Ever! Nobody recalls him. I'm not exaggerating, I'm not kidding."

Root adds that he was also, like Obama, "Class of '83 political science, pre-law" and says, "You don't get more exact or closer than that. Never met him in my life, don't know anyone who ever met him. At the class reunion, our 20th reunion five years ago, who was asked to be the speaker of the class? Me.

No one ever heard of Barack! And five years ago, nobody even knew who he was. The guy who writes the class notes, who's kind of the, as we say in New York , the macha who knows everybody, has yet to find a person, a human who ever met him. Is that not strange?

It's very strange." Obama's photograph does not appear in the school's yearbook and Obama consistently declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia , provide school records, or provide the name of any former classmates or friends while at Columbia .

NOTE: Root graduated as Valedictorian from his high school, Thornton-Donovan School , then graduated from Columbia University in 1983 as a Political Science major (in the same class as President Barack Obama WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN IN).

MORE TAX, MORE TAX, MORE TAX!!!

Why is "More Tax" always the liberal answer to raising money? Now they are considering a 'War Tax' to extend the war in Afghanistan. LIBERALS, take a page from history: almost 68 years ago war bonds were introduced as a way to support the war against the Japanese. Why don't you rely on the willingness of Americans to support something instead of always forcing them to pay for it? Are you so afraid that there is no support?

BE WORRIED: your support has already begun to wane and will continue in 2010 and 2012. I have already started my countdown to 'Hope & Change' with the removal of 'OTO', that's 'One-Term Obama'. 1151 days and counting!!!!!!!!!!!

Help Pay Off The National Debt!!

Hey, Obama...here's my contribution to paying off the national debt that you have HEAVILY CONTRIBUTED TO!!! Don't spend it all in one place.

This is an excellent Zinfandel. Available at Total Wine in Delaware and only $7.99. I like 'cheap'.

The Zinfandels from Lodi are always very good.

Jet-Setter Pelosi

This Jet is the USAF C-32, Boeing 757, that MADAME PELOSI uses.
And the Democrats want to talk about Sarah's dress??? Conservatives! Are you out there?
Madame Pelosi wasn't happy with the small jet USAF C-20B, Gulfstream III, that comes with the Speaker's job...no, Madame Pelosi was aggravated that this little jet had to stop to refuel, so she ordered a Big Fat 200-seat USAF C-32, Boeing 757 jet that could get her back to California without stopping!
Many, many legislators walked by and grinned with glee with the information that Nancy 's Big Fat Jet costs us, the hard working American tax payers, thousands of gallons of fuel every week. Since she only works 3 days a week, this gas guzzling jet gets fueled and she flies home to California, cost to the taxpayers of about $60,000, one way! As someone put it, 'Unfortunately we have to pay to bring her back on Monday night.' Cost to us... another $60,000.
Folks, that is $480,000 per month and that is an annual cost to the taxpayers of $5,760,000. No wonder she complains about the cost of this war...it might cramp her style, and she is styling, on my back and yours. I think of the military families in this country doing without and this woman, who heads up the most do-nothing Congress in the history of this country keeps fueling that jet while doing nothing.
Madame Pelosi wants you and me to conserve our carbon footprint. She wants us to buy smaller cars and Obama wants us to get a bicycle pump and air up our tires. These people are nuts.
If you think this is outrageous, forward it to all those on your email list! Keep in mind the figures above do NOT include cost of plane or crew, just fuel!
One wonders what her total package cost us? And she wants to tax our IRA's & 401K's!

Dear Nancy

Open letter to Nancy Pelosi:

You propose, in your version of the health care demolition and reconstruction, that coverage will be mandatory and those who do not participate will be fined and/or jailed. So then the government will be spending approximately $50,000 to prosecute each case; along with the losses involved in non-participation you will be adding the $50K court costs, throw them in jail and end up paying for their health care while they are in prison (probably another $20,000 per year). Now we're up to $70,000+, which I'm sure you will happily pass along to the other suckers who are forced to be in some version of your plan.

In the unlikely event this pile of crap passes successfully in the Senate, and a member of your Health Gestapo shows up to 'entice' me into voluntarily joining this economy-busting socialist program, you'll probably be greeted by two of my best friends-in-residence: Horace Smith and Daniel Wesson. They will be happy to explain why I don't plan on attending your party and escort you from the premises.

This Seems Fair, Right?

• OK. I THINK I GET IT
  Let me see if I understand all this....
  
  IF YOU CROSS THE NORTH KOREAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET 12 YEARS HARD LABOR.
  
  IF YOU CROSS THE IRANIAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU ARE DETAINED INDEFINITELY.
  
  IF YOU CROSS THE AFGHAN BORDER, YOU GET SHOT.
  
  IF YOU CROSS THE TURKISH BORDER ILLEGALLY, YOU SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE IN PRISON!
  
  BUT, IF YOU CROSS THE U.S. BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET:
  
  
• A DRIVERS LICENSE,
• A SOCIAL SECURITY CARD,
• WELFARE
• FOOD STAMPS
• FREE HEALTH CARE?
  
  Oh well sure. That makes perfect sense!

Thanks, Larry!

Bend Over, Here It Comes!

Never mind that the majority of the country does not want massive, national health care reform...the Liberals think you do and are willing to shove it down your throat and put your country deeper in debt. This is not a plan that will last the term of any one President; once it's in, no matter how bad it gets, it's there to stay. As long as you are working you will be paying ever-increasing taxes. If you support this ugly plan never, never complain about it. If you are around friends of differing political views and you overhear these complaints, make it a point to challenge them and ask why they thought this was a good idea in the first place.

Take a look at the picture on the left: it's exaggerated, but true. YOU WILL GET SCREWED UNDER ANY OF THE DEMOCRAT-ENDORSED PLANS.
