Obama: To Hell With The People-I'll Tax & Spend All I Want

... that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Ironically, it is the president that freed the slaves that condemns the first black president with his words echoing from the grave.

... government of the people, by the people, for the people ...

Where is this sentiment in the halls of congress, in the White House and in the union halls and K Street?

The people no longer matter. There is no longer a "of", "by" or "for", just twisted raw power that tells the people that they'll be governed by government, by their betters and to the people.

Cap and Trade is now known by the people to be a lie and is really a power grab and a tax to support that grab. So, the hell with the people:

NYT SATURDAY: White House officials are searching for ways for Obama to 'use executive powers to advance energy, environmental and other policy priorities'... Developing...

People want "reform" in health care in terms of making it easier and cheaper to get, not a lousy government controlled health care that will lower quality and make it more expensive just as Medicare/Medicaid did. So, Obama and his unAmerican ideologues will just repackage the latest spin on health care "reform" and attempt to bank on Obama's charm, faux openness and truthfulness and sham marketing to try and hoodwink the people again:

Obama intends to publish on the internet a proposed Health bill in advance of Blair House televised discussions on Feb 25th... Developing...

At what point will Obama, Pelosi and Reid and the rest of their ilk understand that the American people don't want their brand of government? At what point will Obama and his fellow travelers understand that their politics of ignoring the people, whatever Obama's real goals, will destroy the greatest experiment in life and liberty ever attempted?

This is shameless on Obama's part and he and his ego should be ridiculed and laughed out of office.

Obama Not To Be Believed!

Don't blame me. I would never ever, ever, ever, say such a thing, but Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) did.

Dem Sen. Rockefeller on Obama: 'He's beginning to not be believable to me'...

When a Rockefeller doubts an Obama I would advise not fully unpacking at the White House.

The Elite Want The NAMES of Bloggers And Commenters

As part of the Soros Davos Economic Forum a personage who lists himself as chief research and strategy officer for Microsoft, Craig Mundie, wants the identities of all Internet users to be public information, especially to governments. Hey, Mundie, learned a bit in China didn't you. Maybe all that censorship and arrests of dissidents were just part of your business plan. I have to ask though, did the plan include salves for the wounds, food for the starving or a plan to get out? I mean a plan to get the dissidents out of jail not for Microsoft to exit China. That doesn't seem to fit your plan for the largest imprisoned market in the world, eh?

Control freaks want web licences to end bloggers' anonymity – be very afraid

If there is ever a one world government, Microsoft will be the sole source provider for security against those that want to be free.

Publius would be the first arrested.

Wind Power Folly

Certain esteemed members of opinion makers are make quite the hue and cry for wind power generation. That means wind power generation sites.

For over $900 million in subsidies, chump change to Obamanites, we get heavily subsidized electricity from wind. Less than 13% of our need and only in targeted areas.

People here in Ohio are hueing and crying for Strickland to do something, in fact anything not embarrassing, and have hued and cried for wind power above the 25% clean energy bill. That's 25% too much.

Generation sites that destroy the land around them, drive off wildlife and create widespread maintinence areas and roads. Forty-story wind turbines. Fan-blade shadow flicker. Red strobe lights in the night sky instead of stars. As an added bonus wind power generation sites create a constant low resonance hum that makes people crazy. We've got enough crazies.

How about the guv save a lot of jobs here in Ohio, say with clean coal or natural gas or, let's go out on a limb here, oil? How about some safe, quiet and nonpolluting nuclear power?
