Obama...the next Reagan? WTF!?!

Posted by Too Tall in Texas on Thursday, November 06, 2008 11:05:12 AM
   I just got done reading an article from this complete idiot on MSN's Money page.  I don't normally read the financial advice pages, but the headline caught my eye.  If you haven't seen it yet - check it out - it is "Why Obama is the next Reagan".  I just about had blood shooting out of my eyes!  The idiot in question is a so-called expert named Jon Markman.  The article is found at the following link. 

http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Investing/SuperModels/why-obama-is-the-new-reagan.aspx‏

Here's some of what this guy wrote (Warning: Not suitable for Conservatives, Reagan Democrats, and those that know a thing or two about anything):  

Investors worldwide have prepared for a new chief executive of the most important country on Earth for months by shedding assets and shivering with dread -- and on Tuesday they got their man.  The new boss of the U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve, armed forces and dollar, the new director of global trade flows, the new captain of the capitalist system, will be a 47-year-old attorney who grew up about as far from the dark center of power as can be imagined -- in sun-baked Honolulu.

Barack Obama now stands in broad daylight, where skeptical investors in Tokyo, Singapore, Beijing and London can assess the real man instead of the political animal running for election.  I think they will find his intelligence, his oratory, his dedication to public service, his ease at gathering smart advisers, his ability to inspire confidence and his tight management of a brilliant political campaign are all the real deal. As a result, despite his incredibly thin résumé, investors will come to believe he is ready to take on this august job.
 
Did this guy just fall off the turnip wagon?  "Smart advisers"?!?!  Weren't his 2 leading economic advisers the guys that drove Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into the ground?  "The new captain of the capitalist system"?  Are you kidding me?  Mr. "Spread the wealth around"?  The same guy who lamented the fact that the judicial system wasn't able to dole out economic justice during the 50's and 60's civil rights movement?  I'm not that confident - are you?!? 

Wait it gets better...  
It's a mess, to be sure, and in many ways, the next two months may represent the apex of the world's hopes for Obama's success at setting everything straight. The next half-dozen U.S. economic problems that arise will be attributed to his predecessor, after all.  
 
Oh really?  I thought it just might be the fact that there was a liberal congress that rammed so much crap through that President Bush had no choice despite his vetoes.
 
But the next dozen after that will be laid at his feet. The way he and his team deal with them will determine our success as investors and citizens over the next four to eight years, and the shape of the world in which my children, now 13 and 16, will emerge as adults.
 
Obama faces a domestic economy ravaged by falling home prices, rising unemployment and thinning industrial production. He faces a banking system savaged by epic greed. He faces a public that's more cynical than ever about its leaders. And he faces two wars.  

Right... these are the possible "world crises" that Joe Biden warned us about.  Ooooh, scary!  Here comes Mr. Markman's sage advice for those of you who might want to invest....

It's almost impossible to say with certainty how Obama will govern as these difficulties arise, for there is nothing in his background that will help us judge. We can only pray that he approaches issues in a holistic way -- not reactively but with a grand plan into which each fresh nuance is thoughtfully fit -- much as he conquered the intricacies of the long presidential race.
 
I don't know about you... but I'd want a financial guru to give me better advice than to "Hope and Pray" that things will be okay.  I would rather have someone that has a handle on what is going on and give sound advice. 

There is a link buried in the column on the right side that allows you to email your comments on this column to the folks at MSN.  If you can't find it, the email address is: investor@microsoft.com  I urge all of you who remember Ronald Reagan, admired him, or even heard about him to email these clowns and tell them that they need to either fire Jon Markman or take off their blinders and see the world through eyes that aren't blinded by devotion to liberal ideologies.

Post 1 of a Couple posts today

Posted by Too Tall in Texas on Thursday, October 23, 2008 9:53:12 AM
   Oh boy, I have to get in on the Biden bashing today.  I've been mum too long on his latest flub.  Can you actually believe the absolute NONSENSE this guy was spewing?  "A world crisis...to test Obama...will happen in six months."  WTF!?!  Did "Joe the VP candidate" whip out his crystal ball and come up with this?  Or maybe he's psychic?  No, I think he's more PSYCHOTIC than psychic.  I used to respect Biden because he once had a few good ideas about Iraq and the conduct of the war there.  Now I've come to the realization the man is a certifiable idiot! 

Let's review, shall we?  
   1. "We should do our patriotic duty and pay taxes" in order to support the Socialist - I mean - "Democratic" agendae when they get in office.  Ouch, let go of my checkbook!  
   2. "The real issue comes down to just 3 letters...J..O..B..S."  You say potatoe we say potato, you spell jobs with 3 letters we spell it with 4.  Yeah, whatever Einstein! 
   3. "There will be a world crisis...mark my words...in 6 months...to test Obama...and we may make a few decisions that may seem wrong...but we'll need for you to stand beside us (and keep spreading the propaganda that the "Dear Leader" is in control)".  That makes me all "warm and fuzzy" - oh wait that's that tingle up my leg.

Yet again another victim...

Posted by Too Tall in Texas on Saturday, October 18, 2008 9:14:11 AM
   Yet again, Obama's stooges have been mobilized to dig up whatever skeletons, misdeeds, or dirty laundry they could find.  We saw these stooges invade Anchorage, and Wasilla, AK in their satellite news trucks and shiny black Lincoln Navigators loaded with vermin.  These operatives of Obama are none other than the media and so-called "campaign workers".  Again I was appalled at the speed these sub-humans began to devour a target of Obama and his Terminator-like political machine.  Don't tell me that the underworld of Chicago mafia and radical extremists aren't behind this either.  With his ties to these groups, Obama can easily target anyone - even you or me - for instant public humiliation, scrutiny, and scorn.  
   The stooges descended on small-town Ohio this week to rein in the insubordinate Joe "the plumber" Wurzelbacher.  What scares me most is that it happened to a private citizen who simply asked a question that put the "Dear Leader" in a bad light.   "How dare he challenge the Great and Powerful Obama?!?" - they shouted. "He, he's not even registered to vote!"  "How dare he ask abot taxes when he doesn't do his patriotic duty and pay his!?" "His union says he's not even a plumber!"  "Why, he's even a sodomizing, child-porn loving, satan worshipper!"  "I bet the CIA planted him there just to attack our Beloved Leader!"   The interviews and comments made about Mr. Wurzelbacher in the following days after the incident were shameful and should be a huge opportunity for John McCain to capitalize on the liberal elitist mentality of the Obama-Biden ticket and the Democratic Party.  
   Even the "Dear Leader" himself put Joe the Plumber up for scorn.  In a speech at one of his rallies, Obama pokes fun at John McCain for sending a plumber to do his work.  The mesmerized crowd laughs on cue, and it makes a great sound bite for NBC's Nightly News.  Dianne "I'm too old for Primetime" Sawyer interviews the poor guy on ABC (Always Be Condescending) for Good Morning America.  Just like Charlie Gibson - Sawyer tries to trip him up by asking him if he is registered to vote. 
    "Yes, yes I am.", he replies.  "Oh, (SHOCKED) oh, I just wanted to clear that up.", Sawyer comes back.  When she asks him about his views on the Obama tax plan, she spews VERBATIM the Obama talking points in reply.  How much more in the tank can you be without working for MSNBC!?  
   I feel bad for Joe.  But, you know that there are millions of other "Joes" and "Janes" in this country.  John McCain MUST stand up with them and fight for them.  We are tired of do-nothing politicians that take our money and stuff it in their own pockets and in the pockets of their friends and contributors.  We need you John McCain!  Stand up and fight for us John!  Don't forget about us!

Anyone Out There?

Posted by Too Tall in Texas on Monday, October 06, 2008 5:09:33 AM
   Wow, has it been nearly a month since I last posted?  A lot has happened in the past 3 weeks and I have been missing out on putting in "my two cents".  Is anyone even reading me anymore?  Give me a shout out if you are getting these!  I want to hear from you.

   1. What in the heck is goin' on with OUR government!?  Bailouts, earmarks for wooden arrows and race car tracks?  WTF!?!?  I have a really good video on YouTube that all of you should watch.  It explains how the monetary system we currently have came to be.  Warning: it is a bit "wonkish", but it explains things pretty simply.  Also, the Ron Paul types would go for some of the proposals at the end - but still a good primer on the economy and how it really works. The link is: Money as Debt - A 45 minute primer on the Economy .  
   
   2. The VP debate.  Sarah did well and did attack BHO and Joe - some.  Joey "Motormouth" Biden spouted off a bunch of incorrect "facts" about the middle east, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Syria - but not a single word was mentioned in the media about it.  Johnny Mac better go into Tues. night's debate and kick Mr. Empty Suit's rear-end - or we may be looking at the "United Socialist States of America".  The U.S.S.A. is not a place I want to live in.  Bread lines, Pelosi's politburo, statues of Obama looking down his nose at the commoners - you get the idea.  
   
   3. Sarah Palin is NOT STUPID!!!  The liberal "mainstream" media has been all over this poor lady and has grilled her more than a freakin' bratwurst.  Katie Couric is NOT a journalist!  Charlie Gibson is SEXIST and ELITIST!  Who do these punks think they are!?  They're NOT Walter Freakin' Cronkite that's for sure.  I got word that some Hollywood actress (don't remember her name - and frankly I don't give a rat's @$$) was coming to town.  It was not a big shock to find out that she was campaigning for - you guessed it - Barack Hussein Obama.  The media is a god-awful joke and should stay the hell out of politics.  
   
   4. What the hell is wrong with the Chicago Cubs!?!  Best team in baseball during the season and they get swept!?!  Guess that priest blessing the Cubs' dugout and pouring holy water on it did a whole lot for them.  The only way they will get to the World Series is if they sell their souls to the Devil and tear down Wrigley Field to play in a domed stadium on real Astroturf  (not that new fake grass - the kind of stuff you put on your patio). 

WHAT DO YOU THINK!?

The Latest Nonsense

Posted by Too Tall in Texas on Friday, September 19, 2008 11:57:27 PM
   You have to love the Libs.  Joe Biden putting his foot in his over-active mouth, and the Obama machine spreading lies and more disinformation.  They talked about what a gift McCain gave them when he said (truthfully) that the basic tenets of the economy were strong.  The machine tried to spin that so McCain looked like Bush and had no clue about the economy and how out of touch he was.  Riiiiiiiight, and they're not taking their economic plans from the Communist Manifesto.  Ooops!  Did I say that!?  Nope - that would be Joe "I've got a mouth with a mind of its own" Biden.  He spilt the beans and says that they actually want to TAKE money from us and spread it out "for the common good" - read government - because that is the "patriotic" thing to do.  HAH!  They neglected to realize that the soviet socialist economic policies FAILED!!!  They also neglected the fact that the economy GREW over the past few months.
   The Libs plan to grow the government an even larger size - to control us even further, and get even more in the way of progress.  When has the government ever done anything well!?!?  Do you really want to have some dorky bureaucrat telling you how high you can turn up your thermostat, or when you can see a doctor, or how often you can drive your car?  
   They also plan to tax the s*it out of businesses, the folks that run these businesses, and the incentives that these folks had to stay in business.  So when all these businesses pass on the cost of these taxes in higher prices, firing the workers, and eventually closing their doors - should we be suprised that Obama and his sleazy friends will find a way to blame everyone else but themselves?     
   Then the libs want to put us even further behind in the world economy by closing our doors to foreign trade, not taking the steps to get us out of debt, and not taking the steps to truly get us free from the strangle-hold that OPEC has on us.  How can we regain that respect in the world if we refused to trade fairly with other countries, and welch out on our debts?  What we need is someone who will push for proven conservative economic policies, and have the courage to have the cajones to say that we're serious about drilling for our own oil.  Leadership is lacking in getting the budget squared away.  It is NOT a good thing to be "owned" by the Chinese.  It is no wonder why we didn't take a harder stance on their poor human rights record during the Olympics.  We want to keep our "sugar daddy".  
   Speaking of sugar daddies, what is up with the Fed (a non-constitutional entity) bailing out AIG!?!?  I thought that only the Congress could spend our tax dollars.  Don't we get a say in how our money is spent?!?!  I think that if the IRS sent an invoice for all the programs and earmarks that my share of our tax dollars went to every month - I should get to pick which ones I want to pay for and don't put my money toward the ones I don't want to pay for.  Its obvious that Congress and the Fed don't listen to my opinion anyway.  What do you think?

"Get me a young priest and an old priest..."

Posted by Too Tall in Texas on Monday, August 25, 2008 1:30:14 PM
   Y'all remember that line from "The Exorcist"?  Well, seems the DNC did too.  They got an "old priest" to go along with their "young priest" to try and "exorcise" our hold on the White House.  I'd say that this should be a slam dunk for the McCain team.  The Dems can't bring up age, or the tired line "more of the same" anymore since they've got one of the most senior senators running along with The One.  The Dems realized just how weak he really is and are trying to shore up his lack of experience by getting Biden. 
   Biden is an interesting character.  Yes, he's very smart when it comes to foreign policy.  He's one of the few on Capitol Hill that I've heard that had any kind of a plan for a post-Saddam Iraq.  Having served over there, I was hopeful that Biden might be able to have some sway with the Defense dept. in getting us out safely with a win.  He did say - before the surge - that we needed to provide a secure environment for the Iraqi government to grow and demonstrate to the people that they are capable of holding power.  As you now know, Iraq is just about ready for us to let their military and police handle the security part and have us there as a backup.  I'm not saying that I'm "going over to the dark side" because of Biden.  I just think he's another stunt by the Dems to help polish The One's image as a leader.  This whole week is going to be nauseating to watch with all the lies, and the omissions of fact about The One and Number Two.  
   Remember folks, these guys have some of the slimiest weasels working for them - so don't let your friends and family get suckered in.  Keep speaking out and spreading the truth about the lies about Obama and Biden.  We all know what they are - no plans to fix the energy crisis, more taxes to "redistribute the wealth", and no spines when dealing with Russia, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela, the Saudis, Hamas......


THROW THE DEMOCRATS OUT OF CONGRESS AND KEEP THEM OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE!!!
