We cannot vote Obama out this election, but we can neutralize him!

We cannot vote Obama out this election, but we can neutralize him!

Voting Red this November will render Obama helpless and powerless!

In remarks delivered at Northwestern University President Obama said this:

“I am not on the ballot this fall. Michelle’s pretty happy about that. But make no mistake: These policies are on the ballot. Every single one of them.” 

He said it himself. President Obama admitted that his failed policies will be on the ballot this November. Now it is up to us to make sure we spread the word: A vote for Democrats this November is a vote for Obama.

We must take over the Senate!

 We must take over the Senate!

In 2014, Michigan will likely determine who controls the US Senate. My name is Terri Lynn Land. I am the Republican nominee for United States Senate in Michigan, a campaign that I believe determines the direction of our country for the next two years.

I am running against someone who will be Barack Obama’s Senate ally in the Senate, an ultra-liberal Congressman named Gary Peters—and the latest polls have us in a dead heat. In Congress, Peters did whatever Nancy Pelosi told him to. If he gets to the Senate, he’s going to do the exact same thing—only this time, it will be whatever Harry Reid tells him to do. 

He’s a Left wing “yes man,” and that’s a big part of why we are running dead even in the polls. 

This past week, Rasmussen Polls rated our race a tossup. So did Real Clear Politics. They know that we can win this race. I served Michigan as Secretary of State for two terms—and both times, I won big victories. 

I want you to know that I’m a conservative, and I’ll gladly take on the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, the liberal media and anyone else I need to in order to do what’s best for the people of our country. 

Harry Reid is coming after me with everything he's got right now. Liberal groups are spending 1.7 million dollars of attack ads running against me this week. They have reserved another 15 million dollars in our race between now and Election Day. 

And we just found out that President Obama is planning to come here to Michigan and personally campaign against me. 

I need conservatives like you to help me push back against this. Not next week, or next month—right now. 

Will you help me? 

You need to understand—this isn’t just a Senate race. When you give to our campaign, you’re not just giving to one race—you are giving to the race that will determine control of the Senate for the next two years. 

Every hour and dollar dropped into this race doesn’t just win us this seat; it helps us fire Harry Reid as Majority Leader. 

America is in a full-blown crisis

America is in a full-blown crisis

Our leaders are failing us.

Too often Congress ignores its own laws.

And President Obama illegally legislates through executive orders and launches war without Congressional approval.

How should we respond? The answer is for Americans to embrace our values of freedom and tradition.

Freedom does not cancel out tradition.

The greatest achievement of the framers was providing a means for synthesizing freedom and tradition.

When our resolve is at its strongest, we reflect both of these values.

We should always defend the system that made us the freest, richest, and most humanitarian nation ever.

Do not buy into the propaganda coming from the Political Class in Washington.  Use your own critical thinking skills.  They have failed you as stated above, you cannot trust them.  We need to take our country back.  Register and plan to vote and urge your friends to do the same.  Never forget this nation is American, not Democrat or Republican.  Those labels are being used to divide us.  Do NOT let that happen.

No Mr. President, we are not better off

No Mr. President, we are not better off

By Michael Busler

In the fall of 1980, Ronald Reagan was running for President against incumbent Jimmy Carter. He requested that Americans ask themselves one simple question. "Are you better off then you were four years ago?" Since Americans overwhelmingly felt worse off, Reagan won the election.

Now President Obama is asking the same question. He will, however, not like the answer. Most Americans feel worse off today than we were four years ago or even six years ago when the President took office. This is true in almost every important area.

Healthcare remains a critical issue. In 2008, there were approximately 50 million un-insured Americans. Today that number is about 43 million. So perhaps a small minority of two or three percent of Americans, at the lowest income level, feel somewhat better off. But the remaining almost 300 million of us have seen our premiums increase by more than $3,000 per year. (Obama said they would fall by about $2,500 per family) while our tax dollars are being used to pay the subsidies that the president brags about. In addition, many of us at not able to keep our doctor nor are we able to keep the insurance plan we freely chose.

When the President entered office the economy was in the midst of a severe recession. At that time, the expansive monetary policy was likely enough to pull us out while keeping the public debt at a manageable level. But Obama increased government spending by passing a massive near trillion dollar stimulus package that most economists agree did little to help the economy. Then he continued to deficit spend so that he added about $6 trillion to the public debt; more than a 50% increase from the level when he entered office. And he continues to run annual deficits which are at least 40% larger than any other president.

Median annual household income has fallen by an inflation adjusted $2,100 in the past six years and wages have been stagnant (although, to be fair, wages were stagnating before he took office.) Although about 5 million jobs have been added since 2008, most of those jobs are low paying, part-time or have gone to foreign born immigrants, many here illegally.

This recovery from the worst recession since 1981, has been painfully slow. Instead of the recovery seeing annual growth rates in the 4% or 5% range which is more typical after a severe recession, his policies have resulted in a growth rate of about 2%, which barely exceeds population growth.

The energy industry has been able to expand primarily because of new technologies that allow more efficient extraction. This could have led to an energy boom and really stimulated the economy. But the President will not allow the Keystone pipeline to be built, he prohibits drilling on federally owned land and he almost destroyed the coal industry through over regulation. In addition, he uses tax payer dollars to fund alternative energy sources that are simply not economically ready to come to the market.

It is no wonder than recent polls show more than 40% of Americans strongly disapprove of Obama's handling of the economy and about two thirds of Americans think the economy is still headed in the wrong direction.

Perhaps where most Americans feel much worse off is on the issue of security. Many Americans simply do not feel as safe as they have in the past. I recall only one time in my life that I, as an American, felt a sense of insecurity. That was during the Cuban missile crisis. Other than that I always felt safe to be in the USA. Today many Americans are fearful of terrorists that the President assured us were not a problem. Al-Qaida is on the run and terrorism is not a threat, he often told us. Yet today we are at war with terrorists who have threatened to strike on American soil.

Many fear the IRS. Many fear big government is trying to control their lives. Many fear that the government has intruded on their privacy. They fear government officials who either will not tell the truth or who refuse to answer questions.

I am not better off than I was when you took office Mr. President. And hundreds of millions of other Americans share that view.

Obama In Denial

Obama In Denial

By DICK MORRIS

From admittedly underestimating the power and scope of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) to insisting on calling terror attacks like the Fort Hood massacre and the beheading of an Oklahoma woman acts of "workplace violence," President Obama is adopting a strategy of defeating terrorism by denying that it is happening.
This head-in-the-sand strategy is partly willful blindness and partly a desire to avoid a terror scare before the coming midterm elections.
But the facts are clear: ISIS copycat killers are loose in the United States and administration policy only encourages more to come.

ISIS videotaped its beheadings and broadcast them throughout the world precisely to encourage these "lone wolf" acts of terrorism. We can expect more of them.
The only way to stop them is to alert the public to be on the lookout. But Obama won't alarm voters. Eight weeks before the 2012 elections, he tried to trick us into believing that Benghazi was about a video. Now, five weeks out from the midterms, he's trying to sell us on the idea that the Oklahoma beheading was "workplace violence."

When Alton Nolen allegedly entered the front office of his company on Sept. 25, and stabbed and beheaded Colleen Hufford, 54, while shouting Islamic slogans, it was not an act of workplace violence but of Islamist terrorism.

At least the Oklahoma atrocity got national attention. The murder of 19-year-old Brendan Tevlin on June 5 in South Orange, N.J., by Ali Muhammad Brown was the suspect's fourth in recent months, following the three others in Washington state. Brown said he was avenging the deaths of Muslims killed by U.S. military action in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and Syria.
Yet, serial terrorist that he is, Brown's escapades have not attracted media attention. No need to alarm potential victims.
Nor does it end there.
Two weeks ago, Mufid Elfgeeh, a store owner in Rochester, N.Y., was indicted for offering to help send fighters to Syria to stand with ISIS. Unfortunately for Elfgeeh, the recruits turned out to be FBI agents. Elfgeeh also allegedly wired $600 to a Yemeni man who wanted to join ISIS and said in a Twitter post that the terror group "will one day rule the world with the will of Allah."
But he's no terrorist either.
Nor is Mohammad Ali Baryalei, an Australian part-time actor accused of organizing a terrorist plot in Sydney and Brisbane. He planned to behead people -- chosen at random -- on camera and send the video back to ISIS for public release.

Obama has finally admitted that he underestimated the power of ISIS and the threat it posed in the region. He overestimated the staying power of the Iraqi Army. These errors are, of course, not his fault, just like the underestimation of the security dangers in Benghazi were due to poor staff work.
But there is ample evidence that the staff did its work well. It was the president who bungled.
State Department official Brett McGurk told the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Nov. 14, 2013, that "we face a real problem" and that ISIS was "growing roots in Syria and in Iraq." On Jan. 23, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq warned of a "very precarious situation," after ISIS took Fallujah and part of Ramadi. And Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said the Pentagon predicted in early February that ISIS would "attempt to take territory in Iraq and Syria to exhibit its strength in 2014."
Obama must realize that his constant "underestimation" of the power of terrorists and their groups is an endemic flaw in his worldview. His naive rose-colored lenses do not detect evil -- except, perhaps, in the Republican Party.

His optimism is costing us billions and potentially American lives in Iraq and Syria, and is certainly costing us here at home. Will somebody please explain the facts of life to this callow and inexperienced president?
