Presidential Pranks in Modern America
“You cannot get the water to clear up
until you get the pigs out of the creek.”;
*If any other of our presidents had doubled the
national debt (which had taken more
than two centuries to accumulate) in one year,
would you have approved?*
*If any other of our presidents had then
proposed to double the debt again
within 10 years,
would you have approved? *
*If any other of our presidents had criticized
a state law that he admitted he never even read,
would you think that he is just an
ignorant hothead? *
*If any other of our presidents joined the
country of Mexico and sued a state in
the United States to force that state
to continue to allow illegal immigration,
would you question his patriotism
and wonder whose side he was on? *
*If any other of our presidents had pronounced
the Marine Corps like Marine Corpse,
would you think him an idiot? *
*If any other of our presidents had put 87,000
workers out of work by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling
on companies that have one of the
best safety records of any industry
because one foreign company had an accident,
would you have agreed? *
*If any other of our presidents had used
a forged document
as the basis of the moratorium that would
render 87,000 American workers
unemployed would you support him? *
*If any other of our presidents had been the
first President to need a Teleprompter
installed to be able to get through
a press conference, would you have
laughed and said this is more proof of how inept
he is on his own and is really controlled
by smarter men
behind the scenes? *
*If any other of our presidents had spent
hundreds of thousands of dollars
to take his First Lady to a play in NYC,
would you have approved? *
*If any other of our presidents had reduced
your retirement plan holdings
of GM stock by 90% and given the
unions a majority stake in GM,
would you have approved? *
*If any other of our presidents had made a joke
at the expense of the Special Olympics,
would you have approved? *
*If any other of our presidents had given
Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive
and incorrectly formatted DVDs,
when Gordon Brown had given him
a thoughtful and historically significant gift,
would you have approved? *
*If any other of our presidents had given
the Queen of England
an iPod containing videos of his speeches,
would you have thought it
a proud moment for America ? *
*If any other of our presidents had
bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia
would you have approved? *
*If any other of our presidents had
visited Austria and made reference
to the nonexistent "Austrian language,"
would you have brushed it off
as a minor slip? *
*If any other of our presidents had filled his
cabinet and circle of advisers
with people who cannot seem to keep
current in their income taxes,
would you have approved? *
*If any other of our presidents had stated that
there were 57 states
in the United States , wouldn't you have
had second thoughts
about his capabilities? *
*If any other of our presidents would have
flown all the way to Denmark
to make a five minute speech about how the
Olympics would benefit him
walking out his front door in his home town,
would you not have thought he was a
self-important, conceited, egotistical jerk. *
*If any other of our presidents had been
so Spanish illiterate as to refer to
"Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador
when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo),
and continued to flub it when he tried again,
wouldn't you have winced in embarrassment? *
*If any other of our presidents had burned
9,000 gallons of jet fuel
to go plant a single tree on Earth Day,
would you have concluded
he's a hypocrite?*
*If any other of our presidents'
administrations had okay-ed
Air Force One flying low over millions
of people followed by a jet fighter
in downtown Manhattan causing
widespread panic,
would you have wondered whether they
actually get what happened on 9-11? *
*If any other of our presidents had failed to
send relief aid to flood victims
throughout the Midwest with more people killed
or made homeless than in New Orleans,
would you want it made
into a major ongoing political issue with
claims of racism and incompetence? *
*If any other of our presidents had created
the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him,
bypassing the House and Senate
on much of what is happening in America ,
would you have ever approved? *
*If any other of our presidents had
ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation,
even though he had no constitutional authority to do so,
would you have approved? *
*So, tell me again,
what is it about Obama that makes
him so brilliant and impressive? *
*Can't think of anything?
Don't worry.
He's done all this in 34 months
so you don’t have that much time to
come up with an answer.*
*Every statement and action in this email is factual
and directly attributable to
Barrack Hussein Obama.
Every bumble is a matter of record
and completely verifiable. *
Obama Gives Away Oil Rich Islands To Russia
Obama Donates 7 Alaska Islands to Putin for $0.
We don't hear about this in the news. What is going on????
This is what our beloved president Obama has done in 2012 for America so far this year. This got very little press to keep it unknown from the American public. Why is he getting away with all of this?
Is there a "REST OF THE STORY"?
This Feb. 16, 2012 article appears in very few places. Apparently, mainstream media consider Obama giving away islands belonging to Alaska as no big deal. Obama is giving these islands to Russia for free, no cost, $0 money or any other consideration. Guess what? The state legislature in Alaska (still one of our 50 states) voted several times in opposition to THE GIVEAWAY! The islands have billions of barrels of OIL and Obama could let oil companies lease parts of the islands and start drilling for MORE OIL!! Should you suspect Obama was trying to sneak this by........? Why?
WorldNetDaily.com <http://worldnetdaily.com//>;. Obama's State Department is giving away seven strategic, resource-laden Alaskan islands to the Russians. Yes, to the Putin regime in the Kremlin. The seven islands in the Arctic Ocean and Bering Sea include one the size of Rhode Island and Delaware combined. The Russians are also to get the tens of thousands of square miles of oil-rich seabed's surrounding the islands. The Department of Interior estimates billions of barrels of oil are at stake.
The State Department has undertaken the giveaway in the guise of a maritime boundary agreement between Alaska and Siberia. Astoundingly, our federal government itself drew the line to put these seven Alaskan islands on the Russian side. But as an executive agreement, it could be reversed with the stroke of a pen by President Obama or Secretary Clinton. The agreement was negotiated in total secrecy. The state of Alaska was not allowed to participate in the negotiations, nor was the public given any opportunity for comment. This is despite the fact the Alaska Legislature has passed resolutions of opposition - but the State Department doesn't seem to care.
The imperiled Arctic Ocean islands include Wrangel, Bennett, Jeannette and Henrietta. Wrangel became American in 1881 with the landing of the U.S. Revenue Marine ship Thomas Corwin. The landing party included the famed naturalist John Muir. It is 3,000 square miles in size.
Northwest of Wrangel are the DeLong Islands, named for George Washington DeLong, the captain of USS Jeannette. Also in 1881, he discovered and claimed these three islands for the United States. He named them for the voyage co-sponsor, New York City newspaper publisher James Gordon Bennett. The ship's crew received a hero's welcome back in Washington, and Congress awarded them gold medals.
In the Bering Sea at the far west end of the Aleutian chain are Copper Island, Sea Lion Rock and Sea Otter Rock. They were ceded to the U.S. in Seward's 1867 treaty with Russia.
Now is the time for the Obama administration to stand up for U.S. and Alaskan rights and invaluable resources. The State Department's maritime agreement is a loser - it gives us nothing in return for giving up Alaska's sovereign territory and invaluable resources. We won the Cold War and should start acting like it. Also see Link 1,2 below

An America Lost The Demise of Demoracy
In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the
University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of
the
Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior: "A democracy
is always
temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent
form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up
until
the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves
generous
gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the
majority
always votes for the candidates who promise the most
benefits from
the public treasury, with the result that every democracy
will finally
collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always
followed by a
dictatorship."
"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations
from the
beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those
200
years, these nations always progressed through the following
sequence:
From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage."
The Obituary follows:
Born 1776, Died 2012
It doesn't hurt to read this several times.
Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law
in
St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts
concerning
the last Presidential election:
Number of States won by: Obama: 19 McCain: 29
Square miles of land won by: Obama: 580,000 McCain:
2,427,000
Population of counties won by: Obama: 127 million McCain:
143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama:
13.2 McCain: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the
territory
McCain won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying
citizens
of the country.
Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in
low
income tenements and living off various forms of government
welfare..."
Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between
the
"complacency and apathy" phase of Professor
Tyler's definition of
democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's
population
already having reached the "governmental
dependency" phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million
criminal invaders called illegal's - and they vote - then we
can say
goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.
Could 2012 be America's Last Presidential Election?
By Michael Savage
I've asked this question to a number of people and most of them respond as if I were crazy. They tell me that this is America, land of the free, and that there will always be elections. I tell them that we are no longer the land of the free and that if Obama gets
Re-elected in 2012 that this just may be America's last election.
In the past three years, the Obama administration has been very carefully crafting the nation for a political take over by his Marxist regime and this isn't just my opinion.
Popular radio talk show host (of the Savage Nation on the Talk Radio Network), Michael Savage, is the son of Russian immigrants and is very familiar with Soviet and European history. Savage warned his listeners this week saying, "I have to tell you that if this man, God forbid, is the next president of the United States, we're going to be living in something along the lines of - people say - Europe. I don't believe it's going to be like Europe - I think it will be closer to Chavez's South American dictatorship.
"This is the most corrupt, incompetent, dangerous tyrannical administration in American history. It's not politics as usual. It's not just Democrats versus Republicans. Obama has a long history of being at odds with American values and with America itself and the core principles of this country. They don't want government-sponsored opinions. They only want government-sponsored 'Pravda.' That's exactly what the government-media complex tells you on a daily basis - nothing but the government-media complex party line. Pay attention! Your freedom may be at stake!
Former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum told a small group of people in an Iowa coffee house that "Barack Obama is not incompetent, ladies and gentleman. He knows exactly what he's doing and why he's doing it. He sees America differently than you see America."
[Obama] has gone out of his way to divide this country in a way I haven't seen since the Great Depression when Franklin Roosevelt went around to divide his country. That's his hero. What makes America great [in Obama's mind] is that the government takes money from somebody and gives it to somebody else. No, that's what makes America, France."With his control over the Executive and Judicial branches of the government, the stage is set for a complete takeover of the government. Think about it! Since taking office, instead of helping the economy, Obama has purposely escalated the economic crisis by plunging the country into unprecedented debt. He has a number of programs that are designed to go into effect in January 2013, just in time for his second term of office. The economic burden and increased taxes on everyone will be enough to cause the final economic collapse of the country. As soon as that happens, Obama declares Martial Law and assumes dictatorial control of the nation.
The Department of Justice has already been subverting federal laws to strip us of a number of freedoms. The Supreme Court and many of the other federal courts have been seeded with socialistic liberal judges that will rule in Obama's favor on virtually anything, thus ending constitutional rule and law.
He's already changing the face of America's military. Allowing homosexuals to openly serve along with changing the retirement program is causing many conservative military leaders to resign commissions and leave the military. Some Pentagon officials are also noting that an increase in the enlistment of radical Muslims into the US military where they get all the training they need on weapons and defense systems. We have no idea how many of them there are in the armed forces or in what positions they may hold.
Obama has been wielding executive powers this past year as if he were already a dictator. When Congress is not doing his bidding, he simply bypasses them and uses an executive order to accomplish it anyway. This has set the stage for his disbandment of Congress. He would not be the first world leader to take control of a nation and disband the legislative branch of government.
He has been effectively using the media to anesthetize the public to the dangers he poses. Like a patient being prepped for surgery, people are numb to the changes and won't have a clue what took place until they wake up in recovery and realize that free America has been removed and replaced with a regime that may parallel those of Stalin, Lenin, Mussolini, Hitler, Chavez and Castro.
For the sake of our children and grandchildren, I earnestly pray that we are spared from what seems a certain future.
General Electric Takes its Money and Jobs to China
Keeping in mind that GE OWNS NBC, CNBC AND MSNBC
General Electric is planning to move its 115-year-old X-ray
division from Waukesha, Wis. to Beijing. In addition to moving the
headquarters, the company will invest $2 billion in China and train more than
65 engineers and create six research centers. This is the same GE that made
$5.1 billion in the United States last year,but paid no taxes ... the same
company that employs more people overseas than it does in the United States.
So let me get this straight. President Obama appointed GE
Chairman Jeff Immelt to head his commission on job creation (job czar). Immelt
is supposed to help create jobs. I guess the President forgot to tell him in
which country he was supposed to be creating those jobs. If this doesn't show you
the total lack of leadership of this President, I don't know what does. Please
pass this information to others and think about it before you buy a GE product.
THIS IS WHATS REALLY GOING ON in GOVERNMENT!!
