Obama State of the Union Address

We have a lot of work to do! Don't be fooled, the fight over Obamacare, the threat of higher taxes and big government has NOT been shelved.

"Did you hear the President say what we heard him say about his future proposals?

• Complete Refusal to back down on health care legislation and plans to work in a bi-partisan manner until a comprehensive overhaul of health care is passed
• Eager to advance comprehensive climate and energy bill, which will further place a tax burden on American tax payers
• Uninsured Americans to choose health care plans within a competitive environment, however this does not line up with current bills on the table
• Close credibility gap by conducting work openly even though the administration is known for closed door meetings and lack of transparency
• Pledges to work in a bipartisan manner and stands ready to hear alternative health care solutions, even though throughout the entire bill drafting process not one republican healthcare proposal made it into the current bill

Obama’s Stimulus Jobs

"Dan Karner, the chief of an Arizona company that received $99 million from the stimulus bill, which helped him create at least 50 permanent clean energy jobs and saved others." Fifty whole jobs? What a bargain. This is an outrage.

That works out to about 1.9 million dollars per job created.

Obama’s Phony Freeze

Fiscal Policy: The latest idea for reining in the federal government's runaway spending is to "freeze" nondefense discretionary outlays for three years. That may sound good, but it's just another gimmick.

We try not to be too cynical about politics, but the White House's proposed freeze will do nothing to address America's budget problems.

Last year alone, the U.S. deficit hit $1.4 trillion on record spending of $3.7 trillion. The freeze will apply only to $447 billion in spending — just 12% of the total. Next year, if the freeze goes into effect, it will save just $15 billion — and $250 billion over 10 years.

Compared with the $9 trillion in new debt and $43 trillion in spending expected over the next decade, it's a pittance — not even a down payment on our gaping shortfalls.

U.S. News Media and Obama

PRINCETON, NJ -- Most Americans appear unimpressed by the media's performance as government watchdog in the first year of the Obama administration. A third say the media have done an "excellent" or "good" job of filling this important role of a free press, 37% say their performance has been "fair," and 27% rate it "poor."

Evil America

This evil country with those evil corporations and evil rich people have raised over 500 million dollars to aid Haiti in it’s time of need.

In the course of one day, giving and pledges jumped from $471 million Monday to $517.5 million Tuesday. The number compares favorably to previous disaster-relief efforts, even though Americans currently find themselves mired in an economic recession

Greta’s Interview with Sarah Palin

Palin on Mass. Senate Shocker: 'The Status Quo is Not Acceptable'

Wednesday, January 20, 2010

This is a rush transcript from "On the Record," January 19, 2010. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: Right now, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin joins us by phone. She's the author of the mega-best seller "Going Rogue" and a Fox News political contributor.

Governor Palin, nice to hear from you. And Governor, as you listened to the concession stand (ph) of the attorney general here in Massachusetts, what'd you think?

SARAH PALIN, FORMER GOVERNOR OF ALASKA, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR (Via telephone): Oh, this is -- this is huge. You just witnessed a wicked political pivot across our country, and I think this victory of Brown's can't be overstated -- not just Brown, too, but look at the recent developments in New Jersey and Virginia, now Massachusetts. This is a tidal wave that's sweeping the country that's telling politicians in D.C. the status quo is not acceptable.

VAN SUSTEREN: From a purely strategic point of view, why do you think this happened? What -- did she have a misstep? Or what happened?

Watch Greta's interview with Palin

PALIN: I don't think it was a misstep on her part and one that you can pinpoint, but it was this overall message of (INAUDIBLE) arrogance this go-around wasn't going to win. Common sense victory is what was going to be seen coming from Scott Brown's candidacy, and that's what you saw. It was going to be independence and common sense (INAUDIBLE) And I think it was quite evident there at the end of the day, when you look at the way that Scott ran his campaign, it was quite simple and it was shoe leather and it was that tough work ethic that a lot of Massachusetts residents are known for. That's what he employed, versus calling on the big guns from D.C. and bringing in the elite to do the speaking for him. It was sort of (INAUDIBLE) American (INAUDIBLE) He represented that.

VAN SUSTEREN: You know, in some ways, I sort of think -- I look at it a little differently. I think she got torpedoed. On December 19th, she was up 20 points. Right after December 19th, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid bought that Nebraska vote for $300 million, which enraged everyone. Then about a week ago, the unfortunate thing for Martha Coakley was the deal with the union, the special treatment. So those two sort of cataclysmic events I think brought her down those 20 points very fast because those two events made a lot of people very unhappy.

 

PALIN: This is a referendum on all those things that President Obama has been standing for, though. This victory tonight of Scott's is a referendum on his and the left's policy agenda. And what this message is that's being sent to Washington is that the status quo is not acceptable. But the people are opposing government takeover of health care. They're opposing increasing American debt. And they're opposing the left's agenda of increased intrusion in our lives, especially our small businesses.

So yes, it was many different factors all coming together at once. And thank God for that, I think a lot of the people will say, because this is a step towards taking our country back.

VAN SUSTEREN: Did you endorse Scott Brown? And if not, why not?

PALIN: I would have, had he requested it. But I so respected that he didn't call in a whole lot of outsiders asking them to come do the bidding for him. He did this himself. And that again was kind of that underdog status of his that is so respected. Usually, a candidate like Scott is reliant upon and strengthened by their own grass roots effort. It was good for him to do it the way that he did, to run this campaign.

So I wasn't asked to be a part of it. I think I twittered a couple of times my support for him at the last minute there, but all along, I was rooting for him.

VAN SUSTEREN: Do you have any sort of thoughts for Martha Coakley? I mean, it must be sort of bruising to take a beating like that and you got to wake up the next day and sort of get going again. You've won some elections, you've lost some elections. You got any advice for her, for tomorrow?

PALIN: Yes, I think she can share the news with her colleagues, other Democrats, others on the left, to say, Hey, this is what democracy looks like, Democrats. You listen to the people or Democrats are going to hear our voices even louder in November. I think she can share that lesson. And then, you know, let's hope that everybody works together there in Massachusetts, especially on the challenges facing that state. Hopefully, she'll help contribute some positive ideas for Mr. Brown as he goes to Washington. And he's going to Washington in a pick-up truck, no less!

VAN SUSTEREN: You know, if I thought that the tea party movement was sort of a threat to the Republican Party, tonight now it may look like the people who support the tea party may be moving back or might have an opportunity to move back to the Republican Party. What's your thought of the tea party movement versus the Republican Party tonight?

PALIN: I don't look at it as two opposing forces. I think the tea party movement is so much a part of the Republican and independents who believe in smaller, smarter government and strong national security. I think the tea party movement has been another voice out there, and it would do our country well for all these different voices who believe in the common sense solutions to start working even closer together.

The tea party movement represents that message that political power is inherent in the people -- the people, and that government (INAUDIBLE) directed with the people. It's sort of people's will. That's what the tea party movement (INAUDIBLE) and that's what independents so often believe in, certainly what the planks in the Republican platform are supposed to be representing.

VAN SUSTEREN: All right, now, there are a lot of options with health care right now. The Democrats can try to do something so that they don't have to go to a full 60-vote -- maybe they can do a reconciliation. You can do all sorts of things. Or maybe health care has got to go back to the beginning and start all over. What do you think is going to happen now with health care? Not what do you want, but what do you think is going to happen?

PALIN: Oh, that's a good way to put it because what I want is for them to scrap it and start working with conservatives on common sense, market-driven, patient-oriented solutions. But instead, we need to watch for the Democrats to try to ram through this health care takeover, despite this very loud, this clear statement tonight from the people.

I think right now, Rahm Emanuel, Obama supporters there at the White House, they're thinking of every trick in the book to get around this -- Pelosi and Reid. So the people have to be ever vigilant and hold these politicians accountable.

VAN SUSTEREN: Do you think it's -- I mean, there have been a lot of sort of nasty, derogatory remarks coming out of Washington about the way Martha Coakley ran her campaign. I mean, obviously, I have a little different thought since she came down 20 points after some very important events happened in Washington. What about that sniping, or at least what we hear of the sniping about her from Washington, from Democrats in Washington?

PALIN: Yes, they need to get over that real quickly. I've been there, too, where a candidate has been -- blame laid on a candidate for a campaign not being victorious at the end of the day. It just wastes time. It wastes human effort and resources. Democrats should get over that. Just get (ph) that chapter of the book and just start trying to work together, everybody there in Washington, to get some solutions to the challenges facing this country, health care being one of the big ones.

VAN SUSTEREN: Governor, thank you very much for joining us.

Scott Brown

From Laura Ingrahams E-Blast

Hope & Change... in the People's Victory
Don't let anyone convince you that Scott Brown's victory in Mass. isn't anything but monumental. This is a body blow to Obamelosimanuel agenda and a repudiation of the course on which the President has put our nation. At the same time, beware those Republicans who claim this victory as theirs. Until a few weeks ago the RNC wasn't even really dialed into what was happening in Massachusetts. It wasn't so long ago when certain GOP elites were quietly turning their noses up at the raw raucous energy of the tea parties. Make no mistake about it--were it not for talk radio and the tea party/townhall events of last summer, healthcare would have passed long ago and you probably would have never heard of Scott Brown. He saw an opportunity, respected the will of the people and ran a great campaign--a classic American success story. Now it's time to roll up our sleeves and take back our power from the other political frauds who are destroying what we love about America. Congressmen Barney Frank, John Murtha, Luis Gutierrez, Jim McDermott, Sheila Jackson Lee (just to name a few) should all be forced to find new work in this glorious Obama economy. Congrats to Sen. Scott and to all of you across the country who helped him.

Obama – Foreign Relations

• Foreign Relations – Obama promised a better international image. Well, the Swedes and Norwegians sure like us better, but he has clearly antagonized our closest allies (Britain and Israel) and pandered to dictators in North Korea, Iran, and Venezuela. He almost let a small friend (Honduras) be taken over by a Chavez front man and has left Colombia hanging out to dry to appease his union friends. China and Russia love him because they know that we have a weak President and they can act with impunity.
