Burt Bacharach Sings Obama Blues

I had to laugh when I picked up the Wall Street Journal today and read 'What the Songwriting World Needs Now', an opinion article by songwriter Burt Bacharach. Apparently, Burt is incensed that antiquated 1941 federal licensing laws governing vinyl records still prevail over the current world of ubiquitous headphones that can access 30 million tracks through any mobile device. Under federal consent decree only two groups, Ascap and BMI, can negotiate and collect fees for songwriters from businesses.  If the parties disagree,  the Federal Judges are the arbiters that set the value of songwriters' work--instead of the open free marketplace. Hmmn... sounds like Burt is a little too greedy here? The Hollywood liberals sure scream when government regulations affect their pocketbooks. How do liberals think that is any different with private insurance companies setting their values through government regulations with Obamacare? 

At an annual Grammy Awards Show Burt Bacharach said, "I've never seen times like we've got right now. I'm really upset. This is the future I'm leaving behind for these [my] kids, and I'm concerned. I think we've really made a mess of it. If the president had just gotten up and said, 'I made a mistake. I take full blame for it. There are no weapons of mass destruction; our information was wrong. Bear with me and we'll get through this together.' But to be stonewalled--" Bacharach shook his head. "I never like to be lied to by a girlfriend or an agent. And certainly not the president of the United States."

The Liberal Daily Kos blog then commented: "More importantly, I think Burt gave us a nice sound byte/meme to spread: "We don't like it when they are lied to by friends and family. And we certainly don't like it when we're lied to by the President."--Lather, rinse and repeat as necessary." [It deserves saying over and over again]

Those comments, by the way, were at the 2006 Grammy Awards Show during the Bush presidency--I wonder why Burt or the Daily Kos, at the least, hasn't addressed our current President Obama about his multitude of lies when he met President Obama at an awards dinner at the White House on May 9, 2012 he should have sung a medley of his song titles to get his ideas out. 

The medley might have sounded like: Barack always "Promises, Promises" that "Any day now" while Barack is "Always something there to Remind me" that he "Knows when to leave" as Burt swears "I'll never fall in love again" after the 2016 election when "The house is empty now" thinking "I'll say a little prayer" for "What the world needs now" is a new President in the White House.

Obamacare Dumbing Down Details - KISS

Does it ever feel like you are swimming upstream against the flow?--after all, going downstream is so mainstream.

As one senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his cell phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Herman, I just heard on the news that there''s a car going the wrong way on Route 280. Please be careful!" -- "It's not just one car," said Herman, "It's hundreds of them!"

Now depending on how one looks at that senior citizen's dilemma he is in trouble going either way. Why? Because the politically liberal left-wing electorate is the majority which is going in their direction leading to socioeconomic ruin while conservatives risk life and limb to circumvent the massive liberal stampede to evade ultimate ruination through unbridled Federal government largess. Simply put, we are running up debt and more taxes with no budget anywhere to be seen, but both parties want to raise the debt ceiling so we don't have a shutdown.  Why can't we shut down and let those Washington politicians take heat for a change? Anyway, it's going to be a real mess in fiscal 2014-15 as the Obamacare rolls out more taxes with high insurance premiums too.

So, what can conservatives do?--noisily honk their horns and frantically wave out theirFamily text and don't talk anymore. car windows at the parade of wrong-way cars passing by? It may get their initial attention, but they do not stop long enough to listen. It is symptomatic of a state or mindset created by all the social-entertainment media that allows people to react like Pavlovian dogs salivating for food at the signal of a bell ringing. Those damn hand-held PDA are to blame, for all of the buzz-word challenged that is 'personal digital assistants.' For example, your Girl Friday, 'Siri', on the Apple iPhones offers a range of help from telling you where you are, where you want go, why you want go and when you want go; and 'Siri' can even verbally instruct you on how you want to go to get there too.

Obama, while keeping a low profile, meanwhile is implementing 'KISS Rules--Keep It Simple Stupid' as he dribbles out more information on Obamacare - 'his legacy.' Obama simultaneously and dramatically increased social media activities promoting Obamacare on Linkedin, digg, tumblr., Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Yelp*, ad infinitum and the White House website. Hopefully, Republicans are learning how to implement this powerful social, mass-media, content manipulation, it works!

Hmmn... and this is a breathing, educated electorate that knows how to think for themselves when they vote?--"Houston, we have a problem!"

Presidential Election Countdown: 1085 Days To Go

So, how do you cook frogs? -- Put them in water of a frying pan, heat up slowly ...and before they know it ...they're cooked!

What's up for 2014?

Obama and Democrat progressives will move further left to shove the United States people into socialism like the European nations. We are sinking more into the financial abyss created by more government programs. Our national debt will be $20 Trillion and climbing after the debt ceiling is raised again in the upcoming session of Congress -- and that's just for starters as the 2014 economy heads downward raising unemployment, interest rates, inflation and housing foreclosures. -- These issues all conveniently stick out like a sore thumb after the 2014 midterm elections, so really focus on those important races for Governors and state legislators turning over into Red states, we need more Republican politicians at your state levels to make a real difference where people live, it's not just about Washington DC politics.

The major provisions of Obamacare are in effect now. What can we now expect?More people will wake up from their sleep and find that they are expected to do as the federal law mandates: You MUST buy insurance or pay a fine.  As of March 1 it is $95 or 1% gross income; 2015 it is $325 or 1% gross income; or 2016 it is $695 or 1% gross income -- whichever is higher.

The secret surprise is the final insurance premium cost if too few people join Obamacare during the 2014 open enrollment period -- or too few healthy people -- insurers may choose to drop out of the marketplace. Ring! Ring! -- Hello? ...Reality check calling! In Obama's program, it was ingenious to put on the backs of young people the burden to pay the most to cover the least for them and in reality give benefits mostly to the costly older patients. This formula makes it cheap, therefore affordable and available to a larger group of patients, but it is still not sustainable long-term. Then, why have it?

The obvious answer to that and another key question whether young people will buy it at all is a foregone conclusion from the beginning -- of course not! They will initially balk at the expensive plans with poor coverage, insurers will drop out and the whole program will fall apart. It leaves only one option left to choose which is Obama's whole end of game plan all along. It was to somehow force on the backs of taxpayers a government "single payer" or "socialized medicine" program for a wealth redistribution scheme. Is it going to work?

Obama has succeeded by passing his Affordable Care Act in the senate and obtained Supreme Court sanctions. Obamacare has exploded and destroyed the private healthcare insurance system and by October 2014 insurers cannot offer any "non-compliant" insurance plans so deemed by the government, thereby eliminating competition in all individual private plan choices. So next, Obamacare will implode and destroy itself due to low plan participation which creates a massive vacuum. Since Americans have no private health plans then, the only immediate political fix is a Federal Healthcare Single Payer System -- Socialized Medicine. See who in Congress tries to rush Single Payer System bills on both sides - Vote those bums out! 

 Welcome to strict guidelines of limited doctors, hospitals, treatments, medicines and out-patient services - Socialized Single Payer Medicine.

Obama Riding Ass Backward on a Camel Hump

It is really ironic that in today's world the United States is precipitously falling further behind other world cultures.  As a leading nation founded upon Judeo-Christian values, many citizens have elected not to embrace any of these core national religious beliefs under the guise to maintain a ubiquitous religious freedom for all. As we proceed further towards attaining this noble utopian ideal we are losing the essence of our own national identity which is especially critical now if we are to survive past the twenty-first century. In looking down road for the guideposts ahead pointing to our future there are signposts that come up that take other nations in divergent directions. Which way is best?  Or, which way is better?  

On December 16, 2013 Saudi Prince Turkl al-Faisal criticized the Obama interim six-month moratorium accord introduced at the World Policy Conference in Monaco that attempts to ensure Tehran won't develop atomic bombs. The Prince further accused the Obama White House of blindsiding Riyadh with its overtures to Iran, Saudia Arabia's primary adversary, by not notifying them about 'secret talks' since last March, 2013 in neighboring Oman. And so now, why did I mention in the beginning about our U.S. Judeo-Christian founding values? It is because they are tremendously significant to our country's core identity around the world which transcends any domestic secular denials of their practice in our governance due to the separation of church and state. By itself, it is the reason there is so much dissention in the middle East now. 

To appreciate the regional dynamics one must understand some basics. Saudi Arabia and other Sunni Gulf nations are supporting the Sunni-dominated rebels in ANTI-JESUS IS NO GOD BANNER hangs over the 2nd Station of the Cross, Via Dolorosa - Old Jerusalem, Israel.Syria, while Shiite Iran is supporting the Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Syrian regime of President Bashar al-Assad, which is dominated by Alawites, an offshoot of Shiite Islam. Furthermore, in 1978 Saudia Arabia executed militant Alawite attackers trying to overthrow the House of Saud and take over the Holy City of Mecca and then deported the rest to Europe and elsewhere - no love lost today either. [statistically, 1.6 Bil. Muslims are 80% Sunni and 20% Shiite] All Muslims view the U.S. as an interloper and infidel nation of Christian non-believers to be conquered - the 'big Satan'. With some of these 'ground rules' under your belt now you can go further on in understanding this tangled conundrum of religious Islamic zealotry.         

I believe it is best to look at what is better within sovereign boundaries. A good fence makes good neighbors really applies in this spiritual debate. Why? Because in my analysis of the middle East countries, the twentieth century opened to WW1 retribution with European colonial plots and American interests deciding over permanent postwar territorial divisions without regard to indigenous tribal and religious factions considerations to form territorial borders. It created all the anguish and turmoil we see today in that whole region.

The truth now is that we still painfully have not learned from our mistakes. Past history proves to the Obama administration and others on how bad Progressive Democrat, President Woodrow Wilson botched it all at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference. Wilson's odd proclivity of enumerating problems such as his "the fourteen points," apparently being a lofty Princeton College President and Professor, it was his scholastic collegiate approach to framing problems and it was considered way too simplistic by many. It was backroom joke fodder bantered about, then, by Washington politician insiders.

"Woodrow Wilson's grand vision of a new world order rested on a bedrock of profound ignorance. Wilson surrounded himself with 'a staff of advisors,' experts on European economics, geography and ethnicity that included a specialist in Latin American studies, an American Indian historian, a scholar on the Crusades and two Persian linguistics professors." [it was noted, no experts were familiar with the middle East region since the U.S. hadn't gone to war with Turkey] "Despite his staff's size and unquestioned expertise, [albeit, not impressive if 'understanding territorial aspirations', which country wants whose land is an important consideration] Wilson’s selection of the membership of the delegation had assured further future criticism and turmoil since a failure to include any senators or current Republican leaders in the group clearly undercut support for the venture. His thinking on this matter is hard to fathom, especially in light of the outcome of the congressional elections in November 1918. The Republicans had gained a narrow majority in the Senate and Wilson would need the support of his political opponents in order to achieve the necessary two-thirds vote of that body for ratification of a treaty". [looks eerily like the Obama play-book 100 years later]

 And you want to wonder why our Diplomatic Relations are so screwed up?

Can You Stand to Hear the Truth about Obama Lies?

In January, 2005, Obama was sworn into office as the junior United States Senator for Illinois (D). Shortly after Obama's swearing in, his beatification begins when Time magazine names Obama one of "The World's Most Influential People." He is listed among other leaders and revolutionaries. This same year, the British journal New Statesman names Obama one of "10 People Who Could Change the World."

Since Barack Obama's sudden appearance out of nowhere onto the national stage, it has been absolutely astonishing to witness his image morphing over the past five years. He has been depicted as Lincoln, the emancipator; FDR, the progressive during a financial crisis; JFK, very cool and stylish with a wife and two young children; and Reagan, transforming the country for the better. Contrary to those narratives conjured up by his handlers, he is none of those Presidents. He stands apart from those greater men because he stands alone; his shallow credentials, weak character and unremarkable policies have finally worn thin through his charisma and worse, it has politically met its fate, "the people" finally know he has failed too--that his word is not his bond, but a lie! 

Barack Obama has been an enigma, a puzzle and a riddle. He arriving inexplicably Is Obama like President Reagan?from really nowhere, with no traceable past due to court ordered sealed records about his birth certificate forward through early schooling and onto college transcripts or even any employment records with any tangible discernable career path achievements along the way--and forget about any people along the way that were friends or acquaintances, no one has stepped forward in any large group to even admit knowing the guy.

With very little, or no experience as a practicing attorney, Obama decides to run for state senate. He is hand-picked by then state senator, Alice Palmer, D - Ill., to succeed her as she runs for the U.S. congress. Palmer wrote for the Communist Party newspaper, "People's Daily World" and had appeared in the Soviet Union to attend the 27th congress of the Communist Party in 1986. In June, 2004, George Soros, a billionaire left-wing socialist, and his family personally chipped in $60,000 for the Obama Senate Campaign. Other generous shadow campaign donations poured in to finance his election bid too. So in November, 2004, Obama was elected to the United States Senate. During a meeting with reporters at his Illinois campaign headquarters after his election to the U.S. Senate, he ridiculed as "a silly question" whether he would run for president or vice president before his term ended in 2011. "I’ve never worked in Washington," he said. "I can unequivocally say I will not be running for national office in four years, and my entire focus is making sure that I’m the best possible senator on behalf of the people of Illinois." It seemed like a 'silly question' as Obama logically answered, "I’ve never worked in Washington," which would naturally attribute understandably to inexperience and his thinness of a legislative policy record. Obama later on missed 80% of his senate votes in his first term. I guess he just simply forgot both promises: about being the best senator until 2011 and not running for president! ...Oh silly me, LOL, I was taking Obama at his word again!

Asked on ABC’s “Good Morning America”, in January 2007, if his lack of foreign policy experience would hurt him in his White House bid, Obama replied: “My experience in foreign policy is probably more diverse than most others in the field. I mean, I'm somebody who has actually lived overseas, somebody who has studied overseas. You know, I majored in international relations.” Is he kidding? Other 'flawed' campaign facts appears here: Apparently, President Obama believed that living in Indonesia with Mommy while going to elementary school from age six to ten while saying in the same breath he 'majored in international relations' made him more qualified than any other candidate--only one problem, he enrolled in U.S. at Columbia University as an 'International Relations' major years later. His theory, stated over and over, was that understanding "the people" was the single most important factor in successful foreign affairs. The bloody results of his foreign policy judgment would seem to indicate this theory was dangerously wrong. ...And Obama thought his 'made-up' weak laundry list as a 'foreign student', which mislead voters to assume that it was college level studies while 'living overseas', but living with his mommy as an elementary school boy fills up a 'Presidential" resume needed to lead the biggest nation on earth?--no wonder our foreign policy is so screwed up!

More troubling, however, was that Obama provided a wealth of targets by  personal recollections in his book, 'Dreams from my Father,' which detailed past drug use, dates of events and conversations in the storyline that could not even be documented. A little-noticed disclaimer at the front of his 442-page memoir of his youth, “Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance,” says: “For the sake of compression, some of the characters that appear are composites of people that I’ve known, and some events appear out of precise chronology. With the exception of my family and a handful of public figures, the names of most characters have been changed for the sake of their privacy.”  He had also espoused a frank liberalism in a time when the Democrat party needed centrist voters, so it was suggested that he tone down that rhetoric.

This charismatic Illinois senator has enjoyed a lifetime of hagiography, like a book idolizing saints or venerated persons, starting with an 800-word story in The New York Times the day after his election in February, 1990 as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review. Obama was elected after a lengthy, apparently contentious meeting lasting from Saturday into the early morning Sunday hours of the Law Review's 80 editors. Historically, editors were picked on the basis of the highest grades, the president of the Law Review was the student with the highest academic rank. In the 1970's, a dispute began as the academic ratings were replaced by a program favoring minorities in which about half the editors now are chosen for their grades and the other half are chosen by fellow students after a special writing competition. Also, Harvard no longer academically ranks its law students for any purpose including a guide to recruiters so as to not discriminate against minorities. Does that say something for the 'best' academically speaking? Will they know the difference between a 'tort,' a 'tart' or a 'fart?' LOL!

This certainly besmirches some of Barack Obama's crowning accomplishments as:

  • The President of the Harvard Law Review as not as prestigious as first presented. This opinion follows some reports that he was not that active nor that involved with the Law Review's week to week activities.
  •  It was also mentioned that he taught law at the University of Chicago which has also been debunked as a case of braggadocio, more like a lie.

Obama was not a 'constitutional law professor,' but was a 'guest lecturer,' an enormous difference at the University of Chicago as many of his supporters dishonestly tout.

Teaches Saul Alinsky Rules for Radicals on blackboard.The best evidence indicates that after a University of Chicago minority students protest, a settlement to avoid further disruptions was ordered to 'find Mr. Obama office space and to give him a class to teach'.  In real academia, 'professor' is the highest academic rank, normally awarded only to tenured teachers after many years of experience and many successful publications. Mr. Obama has none of these qualifications, and never went through the necessary process of being awarded professor rank. Obama is actually writing down and diagramming the principles from Saul Alinsky's book, 'Rules for Radicals'. That is hardly 'Constitutional Law' since it breeds anarchy against capitalism with the fall of democracy.
