Google Michelle Obama Princeton and just dig around on her, In my wildest dream I can not imagin her as the First Lady of our country... I would be ashamed if my Dad and his Dad were here to witness what is going on. How did we get to this point and more important how do we get ourselves back into what America is all about.
Change is needed but it is not what is going to happen if Obama is in. Here is the change that is needed... in my order of priority
1. Put God back in place
2. Close the borders and get control of who is coming into our country. This means we
have to reduce the inflow, stop the open entry unless they have a job and or we need
their expertice. We have long past needing hundreds of thousands of imagrants every
year. Inforce citizen ship rules. Speak english, read and write.
3. Deal with the illegals. Send them back and stop the free ride they are getting.
4. Get give aways programs under control. The government does not owe anyone a free
ride that is able to work. We have 10 million illegals in our country and a 5 % unemploy -
ment so send them back and put our people back to work. This is pretty simple.. Stop the
free ride program and folks will find a job. Who says my tax dollars should go to someone
is 30 years of able bodied but would rather take a hand out than work. This is not the
American way ... It is time to cut off entitlement programs.
5. Congress is out of control with their perks, retirement programs, spending allowances,
Term limits were put in place for Presidents and maybe it is time to do the same for
congressional leaders. For sure an age limit...
REVIEW & OUTLOOK
Obama on Clarence ThomasAugust 18, 2008; Page A14
Barack Obama likes to portray himself as a centrist politician who wants to unite the country, but occasionally his postpartisan mask slips. That was the case at Saturday night's Saddleback Church forum, when Mr. Obama chose to demean Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
Pastor Rick Warren asked each Presidential candidate which Justices he would not have nominated. Mr. McCain said, "with all due respect" the four most liberal sitting Justices because of his different judicial philosophy.
Mr. Obama took a lower road, replying first that "that's a good one," and then adding that "I would not have nominated Clarence Thomas. I don't think that he, I don't think that he was a strong enough jurist or legal thinker at the time for that elevation. Setting aside the fact that I profoundly disagree with his interpretation of a lot of the Constitution." The Democrat added that he also wouldn't have appointed Antonin Scalia, and perhaps not John Roberts, though he assured the audience that at least they were smart enough for the job.
So let's see. By the time he was nominated, Clarence Thomas had worked in the Missouri Attorney General's office, served as an Assistant Secretary of Education, run the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and sat for a year on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, the nation's second most prominent court. Since his "elevation" to the High Court in 1991, he has also shown himself to be a principled and scholarly jurist.
Meanwhile, as he bids to be America's Commander in Chief, Mr. Obama isn't yet four years out of the Illinois state Senate, has never held a hearing of note of his U.S. Senate subcommittee, and had an unremarkable record as both a "community organizer" and law school lecturer. Justice Thomas's judicial credentials compare favorably to Mr. Obama's Presidential résumé by any measure. And when it comes to rising from difficult circumstances, Justice Thomas's rural Georgian upbringing makes Mr. Obama's story look like easy street.
Even more troubling is what the Illinois Democrat's answer betrays about his political habits of mind. Asked a question he didn't expect at a rare unscripted event, the rookie candidate didn't merely say he disagreed with Justice Thomas. Instead, he instinctively reverted to the leftwing cliché that the Court's black conservative isn't up to the job while his white conservative colleagues are.
So much for civility in politics and bringing people together. And no wonder Mr. Obama's advisers have refused invitations for more such open forums, preferring to keep him in front of a teleprompter, where he won't let slip what he really believes.
