Pamela Geller, Big Government: Obama’s Train Wreck of a Presidency

Check out a further validation of what I warned of in my book The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America and on my blog in 2007 and 2008.

Obama’s Train Wreck of a Presidency by Pamela Geller, Big Goverment

Story continues below advertisement

The hits keep on coming from a train wreck of a presidency.

I just got my healthcare renewal form. My rates are up over 30% across the board, and that’s with a $5,700 deductible. This is the fruit of Barack Obama’s health care “reform,” to make healthcare affordable and accessible for everyone.

Obama really makes me sick — oops, I can’t afford to get sick.

I want a waiver — oops, I don’t know any crooked Democrats (is there any other kind?) who can fix it for me.

Who is the recipient of these goodies from this crooked administration? Unions, of course, and FOO (Friends of Obama).

Historian and finance analyst Kenneth Schortgen, Jr., notes in The Examiner that while Obama has given waivers for his new healthcare scheme to 111 corporations and other entities, the form to apply for a waiver is hard to find and harder to wade through, and:

“to receive a waiver it appears you must have political capital with the administration to be accepted.  For most small businesses, you will be incurring the new taxes, fees, and programs that will add thousands to your bottom line, and in more than a few cases, might cause a small business to close their doors.” 

 

Schortgen points out that “in March, AT&T reported from an internal study that the new Healthcare program will cost their company over $1 Billion in new and additional costs,” and that on the list of groups already granted waivers,

“unions are one of the largest entities given a waiver, and speaks to the political gifts given by the Administration to them.  The Obama Presidency has proven their partnership with unions since 2008 to the detriment of small business.”

Okay, but Obama’s other policies must be in better shape, right? Wrong.

This week Ahed Khalfan Ghailani became the first detainee who has been held at Guantanamo to be tried in civilian court, under Obama’s policy of treating acts of war as law enforcement issues. Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani faces charges of conspiracy and murder in jihad bombings in Africa that killed 224 people, including twelve Americans.

Today the jury was deliberating and a verdict was expected, but one of the jurors sent the judge a note asking to be replaced, because other jury members were giving her a hard time for “her opinions.” If the jury is deadlocked, it is unlikely that prosecutors could again bring together the witnesses who testified in this trial. Bringing witnesses from Kenya and Tanzania to testify would be hard, and maybe impossible, to repeat.

How about Obama’s foreign policy? Any good news there?

Obama has vowed to defeat al-Qaeda, but this week British General Sir David Richards said that a defeat of al-Qaeda was “unnecessary and would never be achieved.”

I agree with General Sir David Richards that al-Qaeda can’t be beaten, but not for the same reasons. Clearly, if we are afraid to freely discuss the ideology and motives behind this global war on the West, then we cannot beat it. If we dare not speak its name, surely we cannot defeat it. If, instead, those who speak to the religious ideology that compels war against the “non-believers” are the ones demonized, surely it will defeat us.

Rules of engagement, political correctness, and foreign aid to our assassins make it impossible to defeat this enemy. Give me The Bush Doctrine — “you are either with us or against us” — as opposed to The Obama Doctrine, “we are against us.”

Meanwhile, the Afghan Council that is trying to end the war there has recommended that Taliban prisoners be freed from Gitmo to join peace talks back home.

The very idea that we would be releasing Taliban terrorists to join “peace” negotiations is really scary. Not for the obvious reason that upon their release they will join the Muslim army and kill our soldiers, but scary because of the fact that our “leadership” would even consider such suicidal insanity.

The idea of peace to the enemy is a “pax islamica,” a world living under the horror of Islamic law. Obama’s jihad against Israel, while effectively aiding and abetting the most violent and imperialistic Islamic supremacists, is a lethal cocktail for freedom-loving peoples.

Meanwhile, Obama is strangely silent on the case of Sayed Mossa, who is awaiting trial in Afghanistan for converting to Christianity. Apostasy (conversion out of Islam) is punishable by death in Islamic law. In a similar case back in 2006, Abdul Rahman was spared the penalty of death and granted asylum in Italy after the Bush administration intervened. President Bush and others had insisted Afghanistan protect personal beliefs.

American blood and treasure in Afghanistan…for what?

Keep up your good work Pam. While Charles at LGF is too busy making childish and sexist defamation websites about you, and his pointless website sinks further into irrelevance, you are fighting the good fight. You rock. Love you!

This is why I call him Obamanition. Basically Obama + abomination. The guys a walking horror. After reading these salient points again, some thing just hit me. It came from this paragraph:
This week Ahed Khalfan Ghailani became the first detainee who has been held at Guantanamo to be tried in civilian court, under Obama’s policy of treating acts of war as law enforcement issues. Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani faces charges of conspiracy and murder in jihad bombings in Africa that killed 224 people, including twelve Americans.
We all know the Great Golfer doesn’t like the military. Is there a progressive liberal or socialist that does (you can’t count guards at their dream re-education camps either)? But, is he trying to prove that the military is just over-glorified police? I am wondering if he is trying to marginlize their efforts and abilities. An oblique angle of attack. “The civilian system handles it just fine. I will show the world we don’t need you.” Sure, I’m a bit crazy, and this might be a little too devious even for him, but can’t feel that their may be some credibility to this, even if it’s only an action carried out from a subconscious need.

What did America do to deserve first George W. the half-wit and now Obama? First George W. runs America into the financial ground, continues the destructive transfer of jobs overseas started by Clinton, and embroils America in two unwinnable wars (one of them a complete con job orchestrated by Chenney and crew). And now America doesn’t stand a chance of crawling out of the hole and regaining any place on the world stage because its got Obama as the “post-American president”. The right hand (George Bush) knocks America onto the ropes and now the left hand (Obama) keeps on jabbing.

We got George I because the liberal media and the moderate Republican establishment scream that we couldn’t have two conservatives on the ticket. Choosing a moderate was one of President Reagan’s mistakes, as to George W, he was the best of a bad bunch of candidates. What we need now is someone like Reagan, a small government person who will defend the nation. So far most of those the Republicans and the left are pushing are moderates who will go along to get along, the true conservatives are being attacked with increasingly harsher lies, and given the current state of tension and anxiety on the left I wonder if there is a probability that the attacks will become physical.

You’ve got it covered really well. My rates had a healthy hike as well. This man is a train wreck, and hopefully, we can take a few decades and fix all the damage he is doing.

We got what we the people voted for! We were so tied up with watching the people on TV, live- make believe lives, thinking they were so cool, making people rich by getting what they said we should have, running scared when some SON OF A “B” said they hated the US, we let people into our country that want to take us down. WE ARE THE ONES TO BLAME! Now our children go to school that teach them to hate the country that gave them freedom, money, a place to live, and the highest standard of living in the world. The average poor person lives in a bigger apt than a fool in France lives in. Yet we are called all kinds of foul names by other rotten nations and fools in our own country, Our children follow after people who scream we are monster and then give money to real monsters like CODE PINK ,the money they got from us! California like NY and maybe a town near you, is one of the biggest jokes going and good people who try to stand for something are made fun of, called nasty names on TV and people think thats funny! No one has power over us unless we let them, if we all stopped paying taxes what are they going to do put us all in jail, get my point! We are the ones giving our freedom away, It starts with us, they must know that we are going to act and fight to take back our country, when someone stands up for us we must all get behind that person, The left hates Palin, Geller and the like minded people because they can’t own them or us and they can’t change us no matter how hard they try. Now we must fight even harder to make sure they know that we are not Gone With the Wind like the Old South we are here to stay and we are coming after them!

Obama was made the President of the USA by the devil. All that he is doing is fulfilling the inevitable. For America to be brought to it’s knees, it first has to be crushed financially and then taken over by muslims. Who did the American people vote for, a muslim of course to be their leader. He is now doing what he was born to do and that is to tame the most powerful country in the world by growing the government and making the people dependent on him. In this way he can have complete control of the majority of the population. In other words, he will establish himself as the sole administrator and leader of the free world. This man also has his own private army, taking orders only from him. This man is also solely responsible for bringing most countries to their knees, financially.
