Oh well, just another slip of the tongue and we're sure use to that in the year 2008. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What about this fabulous economic stimulous plan of Obama's - where will the money come from to implement this plan?  What doesn't Mr. Obama understand about budgeting - he needs to show Americans how he is going to downsize the government, cut out earmarks, punish those who misused our money.  In other words, show us the money Mr. Obama!  We're not even interested in playing this Economic Recession Game anymore. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The government (Republicans and Democrats) just keep donating our good money to the bad guys – we can’t buy our way out of the mess we’re in…   We need to stop the bleeding now before it’s too late – think about your children and their children; it is criminal to allow our government to abuse us in this manner. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our first donation wasn’t spent for homeowners – nope it was spent on failed lending institutions to help them pay their delinquent bills and do a little investing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the next thing we’d better brace for is the Obama Economic Recovery package – he’s already softening us up for a blow of our lifetime by saying he’s just not sure how much it may cost us.  Why should this be costing us anything??????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This, along with several other critical issues are just the beginning of red flags, Americans.   What Mr. Obama lacks in leadership ability and foreign affairs is already starting to raise it’s ugly head and he hasn’t even gone through the inauguration ceremonies. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ladies and gentlemen, you’ve just been conned by a con-man.  Stupid, President Obama isn’t – many Americans have just been sucked into the vicious world of socialism.  Right in front of our eyes, we’re about to see our government, which is already oversized growing and growing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your new leaders told you that their new economic recovery plan will take care of our recession; if you’re in the 18 to 25 year old group you may fall for that malarkey. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many of us who are parents and grandparents know exactly what will happen – we’ll have to work harder, many work extra hours or get second jobs and ruthlessly cut our family budget.  We, the people, will be the ones to pay for and back this economic recovery plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sounds like lots of you want the “rich” people as President Obama says to get the tax gouge – now that in its self is a little more than interesting.  The middleclass and poor will be the last ones on the “totem pole” and you got it – we’ll be paying for the tax increase that the “pres” has in store for investors and the businesses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here’s exactly what will happen and our new “pres” knows how it works, but remember he’s into Socialism and he’s spreading the wealth!  In fact he’s about to spread the wealth while increasing the size of our government – we’re not supposed to be working for the government!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Example: Once the “pres” get this tax increase in place consumers will be the ones taking the beating, especially the middle class.  So someone out there better speak up for Americans, because the Democrats are leading us to the slaughter of our lifetime – bail out needs to stop, like yesterday, our money is not in safe hands in case you haven’t noticed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;700 billion bail out just jumped to 2.8 trillion and I believe Americans will be responsible for 7 trillion plus if someone doesn’t stop this runaway government.  Bottom line is “they” meaning our government representatives don’t know what to do so as a last resort, they decide to chase their tails by spending more of our money. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It appears the middleclass are getting all excited thinking they’re one of the 95% getting a tax break.  The class right under the middleclass are ecstatic too, but they’re about to be gouged one more time, hope they don’t spend their 1,000 or 1200 dollar tax credit, because it’s done been gobbled up way before it reaches their back door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just remember if it sounds too good to be true – then it probably isn’t true.  Welcome to the new world of “socialism.”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans shut their ears when they heard about the 800,000 dollar donation from President Elect Obama to Acorn to buy him some votes.  It’s true and the rest of the story is true also.  The “Pres” and friends as we speak are out buying votes in Georgia with his sophisticated questionable “get out the vote machine.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I say – no more bail outs, ruthlessly downsize the government, get some honest knowledgeable people who places country first, create jobs, disallow all of the earmarks sneaked thru in the first part of our bail out money and get a qualified leader to help us through this mess.  A man with no past, no track record and no real employment history isn’t exactly what I call qualified. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You’re right, I am more than a little mad that the liberal news media, illegal campaign contributions and an obscene amount of money elected our new President. Unlike what Barack and Michelle Obama have insinuated, this election wasn’t about race, color, creed or any of the above…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A man that could walk away from such devious campaign tactics smiling isn’t a leader but a control Geek who’s totally out of control.  Any man with such a messianic sense of self and his intense desire to degrade all who voice a different opinion can’t qualify for a world leader in anyone’s book. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here’s a newsflash for Americans, God is still alive and well and no, Mr. Obama isn’t the anointed one because he’s anti white, anti business and anti freedom of speech and his anti list just keeps growing and growing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America needed a man or women with a good track record, expertise in foreign affairs and someone who could lead our country in the right direction during this economic fiasco that our dear Democrats ignited during their incompetent reign. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey, American this isn’t a game, a college debate or fashion show – “May God Bless Each and Everyone of You” who have lost your jobs, homes and hope. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is just the tip of the “iceberg” – many more of us will follow you shortly if Americans don’t regain their voice and restore our Nation to its once strong foundation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“May God Bless America.”   See you @ &lt;a href="http://www.yourannie.com/"&gt;http://www.yourannie.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Always Annie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-4777431301460809709?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/4777431301460809709/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=4777431301460809709' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/4777431301460809709'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/4777431301460809709'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/11/obama-not-our-savior.html' title='Obama - Not Our Savior'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-2362664866086351293</id><published>2008-11-21T12:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-21T12:35:45.481-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='political newsletter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nancy Pelosi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dodd'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Paulson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Barack Hussein Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Government'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Americans'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reid'/><title type='text'>Attn: Pelosi, Paulson, Dodd and Reid</title><content type='html'>It has been brought to our attention that you have spent half of the “bail out’ money.   Please quit holding your hand out – we’re tired of bailing you out.  It’s time to put your best foot forward, if you have a best foot and give us an actual accounting of the 350 billion dollars you’ve spent thus far.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There’s plenty of reason to believe it wasn’t used for the homeowners or the middle class.  It seems to me, you’ve once again put Americans at risk!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dodd, Pelosi, Reed and  Paulson, you are employed by us (American people) and it appears that we need to place you on a 30 day plan or possibly can you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paulson, you’ve got your nerve playing around with our money!   It’s time to step down from your cushy position as Treasury Secretary and let some one who is honest, qualified and places their country first take the reins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You’re a disaster that’s already happened and we need to investigate your various money activities before you go. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pelosi you’re so far left of center that you probably suffer from migranes  and amnesia.  To have you in charge of our government and money is more than a little bit scary.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Every time you open your mouth, I cover my ears, because what you say and do are entirely different.   Maybe you’ve worn out your welcome at the White House and it’s quite possible you should look for a new employer!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And dear Mr. Dodd, you are definitely joined at the hip with Freddie and Fannie – actually you and Mr. Obama have that claim to fame.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overnight, you created two alien funds, which are actually pretty bogas, (1)  the Housing Trust Fund, and (2) the Capital Magnet  Fund.  Tell us Mr. Dodd, who is the recipient of these two funds?  Is it Mr. Obama and his community organizers?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hate to bring it up Paulson, Pelosi, Dodd and Reid, but this AIG resurrection is a farse too – that will backfire on the taxpayers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let’s see, correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe AIG received an 85 billion installments from us in September and than another installment for 37.8 billion the first part of October.    &lt;br /&gt;So outside of the AIG’s freeze of 600 million dollars to their executives, how have they used the remainder of our monies?   We can’t hear you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Didn’t AIG take their team to a special hideaway in Arizona spending over 343,000 of our bail out money to conduct a seminar for their financial planners?  Hey get a grip, pitch a tent, rent a room at Pizza Hut, but quit spending tax payer’s dollars for their personal Tea Parties! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Within months, they’ll be knocking at our door, looking for more free handouts; hopefully you’ll tell AIG we want our money back ASAP.   Why would anyone think they’re capable of restructuring and becoming a reputable institution again?  Have you called for an audit, or a new business plan or an insight into their daily business affairs?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you have any binding agreement with the institutions that you’ve loaned our money to – did you insist on a new feasible business plan?  What rate of interest are they paying us? &lt;br /&gt;What happens in case of default?  In other words, was all this 650 billion handed out as gifts or is each recipient paying us back in the near future?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To all of those companies who have lined up at the White House asking for a fuel injection - get rid of their jets and other amenities, cut out the ridiculous corporate salaries and perks, restructure your  business, quit paying your ridiculous corporate salaries  and get a life, we’re tired of being the guinea pigs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday, our government representatives were fighting over saving the Big 3 – what’s there to think about…  They have mismanaged their money for years, in need of a critical restructuring and they have the guts to fly to Washington in their own little personal jets for a pow-wow. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here’s what I think – let those who have mismanaged their businesses hitchhike, ride the bus or walk from now on.  When they stick their grubby hands out for more, just say “no.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pelosi, Paulson, Dodd and Reid, if by chance you remain in the White House after this scandal is over, remember America is getting its voice back and we’re watching every move you make.   You’ve had your chance and you blew it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America can’t restore its once strong foundation or recover from this economic crisis with the likes of you messing around in our government. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“May God Bless Each and Everyone.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See you @ &lt;a href="http://www.yourannie.com/"&gt;http://www.yourannie.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Always, Annie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-2362664866086351293?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/2362664866086351293/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=2362664866086351293' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/2362664866086351293'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/2362664866086351293'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/11/attn-pelosi-paulson-dodd-and-reid.html' title='Attn: Pelosi, Paulson, Dodd and Reid'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-5831240245394257538</id><published>2008-11-18T15:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-18T15:34:46.365-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nancy Pelosi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dodd'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Paulson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bail out'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TARP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='poltical newsletter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reid'/><title type='text'>Paulson - the Other Humpty Dumpty</title><content type='html'>In other editorials, you’ve heard me mention freezing our bailout money.  Bringing in a team of high powered economists who would initiate a stimulus plan that would do more than a little jump start here and there…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I mentioned repeatedly that Paulson, Pelosi, Dodd and Reid are not qualified to take control of our money or make wise decisions. Here is the proof of that statement!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paulson (Treasury Secretary) has egg on his face once again.  Our bail out money, now referred to as TARP was not used for the original purpose to buy out toxic assets.  Paulsen said the money wasn’t earmarked for stimulating the economy, but for stabilizing the financial system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That’s a hard pill to swallow, because nothing has been mentioned about oversight, government transparency or regulations.  Americans must know the lending insititutions receiving our money, what rate of interest they are being charged and what occurs in the event of default.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paulsen says he’s working on programs to assist homeowners by avoiding more foreclosures.  It appears that once again Democrats played “Poker” behind our backs and the middleclass will be the ones to take the hit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is still some TARP money in the kitty – contact your federal representatives and request a freeze on our money until a team of qualified economists are hired.&lt;br /&gt;When everything is over but the shouting – the Democrats will point 10 fingers at the Republicans and blame them for misusing the “bail out” money. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here’s two sites to check out if you have any doubts about misuse of your money.  Homeowners and the middleclass are last on the list to receive help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Money News. Paulson:  Must Preserve Bail Out Funds  or&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Money News.

A grandmother discusses the moral erosion in America starting back in the 'baby boomer" era. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Together let’s investigate the social changes that parents, grandparents and caregivers have experienced first-hand.  This “new era” started many, many years ago and the changes were subtle at first and seemingly rather insignificant. So don’t surmise that our younger generation caused the decline of human worth and values. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, the sad fact is our young people will be the ones who clean up our mess, if we don’t step forward and help.  Take a walk with me back to the time that our government was a respected authority – they were supportive and proud of their nation under, “God.” &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our leaders prayed together and didn’t hide in the closet fearing that public prayer would offend someone.  This was a time when morality and spirituality was the adhesive that kept our country strong.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Child abuse, teen pregnancy and drugs were a rarity and marriage was a sacred institution. Divorce wasn’t condoned; in fact it wasn’t a viable alternative. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mothers held a most honorable position in the family – they didn’t drink, curse or play around.  Children respected, loved and cherished their mothers, because they were great role models and the glue that held family units together. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fathers were dependable, hardworking men, loyal to their employer and the shepherds who watched over their flock.  Yes, fathers were qualified to be the head of the household;  they were an accountable, honorable group of men, who accepted their role of husband and father with pride. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fathers and mothers instilled human values in their children that would help them succeed as young mature adults.  Children had parameters along with love, mentoring and discipline;  they learned to respect themselves and others.   At this time parenthood was touted as the “in thing.”   So what happened to change parenthood so drastically? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, the baby boomers arrived on the scene in the early 40’s – they were the groovers and movers who defied reality, morality and spirituality.   It was like letting a bunch of kittens make a sand box out of the flowerbed;  the boomers played around until all the sand and dirt was gone.&lt;br /&gt;They were the dreamers, schemers and the ones who fantasized about life in general.   I was one of those boomers, so this isn’t here-say or conjecture about what was happening during that period of time. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We flew by the seat of our pants without short or long-term goals.  Our generation was somewhat like a fairytale without a happy ending.  We flatly refused to conform to the code of morals and ethics that had sustained our Nation for years;  we jumped on the express to nowhere and morals took a big hit and so did our kids. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was about the time that some of our children started suffering from that complex pain mentioned in earlier chapters.  Along with the boomers, came the birth of a new child psychology, which advocated allowing children to be free (whatever that means.) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This new child philosophy changed parenthood and in my mind was the beginning or birth of “role reversal” between parent and child, which we’ll visit at a later time.  So for the next several generations the “good parent and good child syndrome” plodded along with a few raving reviews from the meddlers and peddlers. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ironic thing about this era is this – Dr. Spock changed his mind years later and decided that parents were naturally equipped to mentor, discipline and raise their children without meddling fingers and all the sophisticated psychological intervention.   For some strange reason very few parents heard this message from Spock – it was “too little, too late.” &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So within a few short years America had received a double whammy created by the boomers and some off the wall child psychology.  Yep, we let our children run free with few restrictions – this was the time when our old standby “No” became a forbidden household word.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now we go to the third drastic change, which was the women’s movement. This movement wasn’t toddling anymore;  it was running at top speed in search of power, fame and that bloody fortune, we keep hearing about. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many women were forfeiting their awesome profession of “motherhood” in exchange for a few piddly dollars.  Here we’re talking about a trade off that definitely should have been addressed in a different manner. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No doubt, women needed more education and men needed to share the wealth so to speak, but something was wrong with this movement because our children took the hit and to this day are still suffering from this movement. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our Nation in their usual fashion supported and encouraged women on their power trek;  we knew in our hearts it was the right thing to do.  But, in many respects this was a poor judgment call because, our concentration was on women and their rights with total disregard to our children’s rights! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our children were discarded and kicked out of the equation or at least placed way down the list of priorities.  I certainly don’t have all of the answers; I’m just telling the story the way I see it!  In 2008, our young girls are still being groomed for the professional work force and egged on by what I refer to as the “equality struggle of the genders.” &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this time, the US Department of Education estimates that approximately 57% of college enrollees are female.  It seems Motherhood has been devaluated and is considered a somewhat antiquated profession that needs to be relegated to the ancient history shelf. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brainwashed and spit out again – Motherhood is a “God” given gift and is still and will always be the ultimate profession.  My bet is the children who are young adults now that experienced 18 years under the vigilance of non-parental caregivers and the meddlers, while mom was out making a few bucks would give their right arm if mothers would resume their position as Mother, friend and role model once again. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Due to the weakening moral codes created by the boomers, modern psychology and the women’s movement, our Nation reeks with child abuse, teen pregnancies, addictions, murder and high school dropouts. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marriage isn’t exactly considered a sacred institution anymore – it resembles a withered piece of fruit on a spindly old tree that falls apart if a storm or hard wind hits it.&lt;br /&gt;Many just pass on marriage and opt for shacking up together. “Shacking Up” eliminates the moral and spiritual pressures, but once again the children are the ones who suffer. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Shacking up is somewhat like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole – nothing about this relationship has a good fit and sooner or later time seems to take its toll and the children take the hit.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Divorce in 2008 is a household name, as common and casual as taking a walk in the park. Like the latest fashions – our attitude is “tired of the old clothes, just trade them in for some new.”  But,what about the children?  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After studying some divorce statistics in the US, it has been discovered that there are two common factors; (1) Infidelity, and (2) family stress account for approximately 50% of our divorces. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several studies suggest that women are usually the ones to initiate divorce proceedings.  Why should that be a surprised, we’re the heavy weights at the Presidential Polls in 2008!   Another fairly new fad is single mothers (by choice); they select a sperm donor or choose a life of cohabitation and this is perceived to be the norm. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not in by book, these groups of women have tossed morality out the window and as we speak are participating in a dangerous and lonely game.   Than again, I’m just an ole fashioned grandmother!   This lifestyle actually places many women in a state of limbo, swaying back and forth between mother hood and their profession, without a place to call home. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These women are trying to fit into a pair of parental shoes that will probably result in two things: (1) Non parental caregivers will raise their child, and (2) The child born in this unatural environment will have many challenges in their young adulthood. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many mothers will some day have to take a long hard look at their precarious position in the family, because they do drink, curse and play around. Unfortunately, it’s the children who will have a lifetime of suffering, because these ladies couldn’t give up their promiscuous ways.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Fathers will have to revisit their lifestyles and once again resume the honorable position as head of the household.   Fathers must fight for their “rights” and become strong role models for their children and assume the awesome responsibility of parenthood.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Dads can’t sit back anymore and watch the rest of the crazy world go by – their children need them, now.   It’s sort of like Winston Churchill said many years ago, “You can always count on Americans to do the right thing – after they’ve tried everything else.”  It’s time to do the right thing for our children and our country. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s not about you, nor is it about me – it’s about our children. Let’s work together and leave our children a legacy to be proud of that will ring the bells of history and not be relegated to the ancient history shelf as a “flop.”   &lt;a href="http://www.yourannie.com/"&gt;http://www.yourannie.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Always, Annie&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-150002278572792463?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/150002278572792463/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=150002278572792463' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/150002278572792463'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/150002278572792463'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/11/decline-of-morality.html' title='Decline of Morality'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-7673364822027310638</id><published>2008-11-16T13:34:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-16T22:24:17.532-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Barack Hussein Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='invocation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='article'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reverend Wright'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Political editorial'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='David Axelrod'/><title type='text'>Obama and Reverend Wright - They're Back</title><content type='html'>Traveling back in time to 1995, we hear Mr. Obama raving over his pastor Mr. Wright followed with a statement that’s rather hard to believe or stomach. Obama said Mr. Wright was a wonderful man and the best that the black church had to offer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where does that leave all of the awesome black ministers who don’t damn America, don’t condone killing babies in the third trimester, nor do they condone socialism?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next few years were blissfully quiet and nice for Mr. Obama and Mr. Wright – Obama listened and Wright preached. During these years the teacher shaped the student leading him down the wrong trail, but never the less leading him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Obama’s defense for his pastor was rather feeble when saying he couldn’t disown his preacher friend anymore than he could disown his white grandmother, who raised him. So what we have here is a racial slur in reverse comparing black to white or something like that…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In March 2008, Barack Obama was placed on the hot seat by the news media and he found it necessary to disown his mentor, counselor and pastor of 20 years; Obama stated that he vehemently disagrees and condemns Reverend Wright’s statements about God _ _ _ _ America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a separation between two men that would appear to be final and America was proud of Obama for being so forthright, honest and sincere. But Wright didn’t go away and Mr. Obama was faced with a real dilemma. Trinity United Church was busy correcting their black value system online, hoping that would put their members back in good standing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Obama in his attorney two step said 20 years under the same roof with Reverend Wright was merely a coincidence. In other words, he attended the Trinity United Church but didn’t pay any attention to the racial slurs of Reverend Wright or his message of hate about Americans. Hard to believe that Reverend Wright and Mr. Obama were two strangers just meeting in the dark occasionally for a little chit chat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans were a little confused about the Obama/Wright association, but within a few weeks the Presidential superstar was off and running again minus Mr. Wright. So the hat “guilty by association” is one that Obama refused to own…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama pleaded his relationship with Reverend Wright as poor judgment on his part and vowed to change Churches ASAP. One must question a man who is preparing to lead our country about his character and reputation for he’s been known to have tea parties with terrorists and chit chats behind closed doors with foreign countries. A man who lacks good judgment probably isn’t what America needs as a leader.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fast forward to November 2008, approximately eight months have passed since Obama disowned Reverend Wright and now there is a possibility that Obama is thumbing his nose at America announcing that Wright will offer his swearing in invocation on January 20, 2009. Obama says this will begin the healing process of the racial differences in America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama’s new Chief of Staff ( Rahm Emmanuel) offers a blunt message that the divorce between Wright/Obama has been called off and the two honey mooners are holding hands once again.&lt;br /&gt;Rahm Emmanuel shoots us a newsflash stating this is “an indication of how President-elect Obama will rule our country. Sounds like we need to listen to the Chief of Staff, “when in Rome do as the Romans do.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lets dissect this news, Obama disowned and denounced Reverend Wright in March 2008. David Axelrod served as the hatchet man for Obama; he told Wright to get lost until November 5th, 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My guess is David Axelrod talked Wright into an 8 month paid leave of absence, if he would hide in a closet and keep his mouth shut until November 5th 2009. Like the good little boy, he’s not, Wright took his jammies, lolly pop and stowed away as asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So there you have it folks, Obama and Wright are back! “May God Bless America.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Always, Annie&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stop in and visit @ &lt;a href="http://wwwyourannie.com/"&gt;http://wwwyourannie.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-7673364822027310638?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/7673364822027310638/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=7673364822027310638' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/7673364822027310638'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/7673364822027310638'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/11/obama-and-reverend-wright-theyre-back.html' title='Obama and Reverend Wright - They&apos;re Back'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-4969275304819513502</id><published>2008-11-14T16:35:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-14T16:38:54.618-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='political newsletter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nancy Pelosi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Don Young'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Chuck Norris'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brit Hume'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='socialism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CNN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FOX'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reid'/><title type='text'>Our Money - Their Mistakes</title><content type='html'>Americans have met “the battle of the bulge” and it isn't any fun!  The “fat cats” in Washington just love to play monopoly with our tax dollars and we’re the ones who end up in jail without a free card.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our government remains in the same robotic mode of same ole, same ole!  We are shaking in our shoes and totally confused; should we remove what’s left of our savings and bury our money in the back yard or should we change our portfolio before Washington makes another blunder?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don Young (R – from Alaska) voted “NO” on the bailout bill calling it a mere slippery slope to Socialism.  Keep your eye on Don, he’s the kind of man we need leading our country.  Here’s another Maverick who isn’t afraid to stand toe to toe with either party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chuck Norris reminded us that the House of Representatives and Senate don’t have a clue what’s in the 500 page bailout bill and mentions that Republicans and Democrats fell for the bull  - - - -  of the bad boys and girls, Pelosi, Paulsen, Frank and Dodd. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let’s remember McCain and Obama gave the bill a big “Yes” as they merrily went on their way campaigning.  Neither one objected loudly or with any real sincerity! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to get this bill passed by the majority, Pelosi and gang tossed more than their share of carrots into the bill.  Here’s but a few of the earmarks that are snuggled deep within the confines of this bill: (1) $192 million in tax breaks for rum producers in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, $128 million in tax breaks for the manufacturers of car-racing tracks, $148 million in tax breaks for wool-producing companies. and these almighty carrots just keep growing.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;They just don’t get it – we want a government without their hands in the “Piggy Bank.”  Government isn’t changing, even though they’ve jeopardize our country and our families!  Pelosi remains the same stoic Speaker and every time she dips in our till – she has someone else to blame. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently Nancy and Reid appointed an Oversight Panel to report to them, the panel will deliver a report January 20th, 2009 after she’s spent all of our bail out money.  Technically, she’s covering her  - - - so neither Republicans or Democrats can accuse her of negligence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look at the free market and ask yourself why the taxpayers’ were voted responsible for the bailout Freddie and Fannie.  Why are we the ones to pick up the slack for a government that has acted irresponsibly; no one seems to be held accountable at this time!?   It’s like letting a bunch of lions loose at a smorgasbord – they come with a ravenous appetite and just keep gorging and gorging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jay Leno as usual gives us a dose of truth embellished by his uncanny wit; when talking about the bail out, he said our economic crisis has now affected our children.  Jay said,  “Like, when kids play monopoly, the dumbest kid can be the banker.” He expresses his concern about our predicament via a dash of humor.  Jay Leno, New York Times, September 30, 2008, 12:08 pm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here’s several sites that offer up to the minute news on the bailout discussing the repercussions and hardships placed on Americans.  The first one is &lt;a href="http://loudobbs.tv.cnn.com/"&gt;http://loudobbs.tv.cnn.com/&lt;/a&gt;   Lou Dobs, although from CNN speaks honestly about the lack of oversight by our government and Paulson (Treasury Secretary.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lou doesn’t waste words, nor will he take up much of your time; he’s a bottom line man and irate that two trillion dollars of our bail out money has been disbursed without proper supervision or restrictions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another informative man is &lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/specialreport/"&gt;Brit Hume  Special Report - FOXNews.com&lt;/a&gt; – Brits has the highest rated political program on cable TV.  Brit doesn’t pull any punches and brings up all sides of the story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FOX is yet another that site keeps up to date and unlike many news media, FOX tries to present all of the facts.  &lt;a href="http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0geu9wY9x1JfgQBBW9XNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTBzaDVoc25xBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMTEEY29sbwNhYzIEdnRpZAM-/SIG=12eadvjjd/EXP=1226786968/**http%3a/blogs.abcnews.com/theworldnewser/2008/11/index.html"&gt;The World Newser: November 2008&lt;/a&gt; or try FOX.com. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The latest rumors around town whisper that several trillion dollars of our money has disappeared without any real oversight or restrictions.  Consequently some of the lending institutions are doing a little personal investing with our money and have plumb forgotten that we, the consumer are sitting here with legs crossed waiting for some credit lines to be freed up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“May God Bless America.”  If you’re mad – call or email your government representatives.  Get your voice back, America; it’s your money and your dime so have your say!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Always, Annie                 Catch me @ &lt;a href="http://www.yourannie.com/"&gt;http://www.yourannie.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-4969275304819513502?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/4969275304819513502/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=4969275304819513502' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/4969275304819513502'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/4969275304819513502'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/11/our-money-their-mistakes.html' title='Our Money - Their Mistakes'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-6189037347481301993</id><published>2008-11-08T07:25:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-08T07:28:06.354-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='parents'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='News Media'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Government'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='editorial'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='grandparents'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lobbyists'/><title type='text'>Our Nation</title><content type='html'>We didn't arrive here yesterday, nor was it just the past 8 years that placed our Nation on a shaky foundation - it has been a slow erosion for many, many years caused by the meddlers (special interest groups &amp;amp; lobbyists), the peddlers (news media) and the gov that has created a shaky economy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We've plodded through the many changes over the past 60 plus years and after pointing fingers at the meddlers, peddlers and gov – it’s time to make the necessary changes to restore the once strong foundation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I only included meddlers, peddlers &amp;amp; gov because they are a part of our history in the USA.  They have been responsible for shaping much of our Nation!  Do I have a bunch of answers, cures or band aids to offer parents, grandparents and concerned citizens?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not really, but looking back in history it is apparent that our ancestors came from all walks of life and yet they unanimously agreed on two thins: (1) The solid foundation for America must be “One Nation Under God, and (2) Liberty and justice for all would be the cement that would keep the United States alive and well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we look back over the past 60 plus years, it’s important to realize that nothing was really broken and we didn’t ask anyone to fix it, but “they” did.  So now we’re faced with a weak government, too many special interest groups with their fingers in our pot, and once again parents are being controlled – no in control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parents and grandparents have been left with a mess, that’s for sure and we have to assume some responsibility for creating the mess.  Each one of us as individuals can make the conscious decision that we want our country back on it’s once strong foundation – with “God” guiding us all things are possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yep, we can even move mountains!  “Decisions” should be determined by what is in the best interest for families and children.  Our children should always be our priority and we need prayer in the schools, the Ten Commandments visible for all (they’re really a roadmap for men, women and children.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember, we’re not going to make anyone pray, nor will they be forced to read the Ten Commandments, but the flipside is this - prayer, the Ten Commandments and One Nation Under God is the legacy left to us by a forefathers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No man, woman or child has a right to tamper with this legacy!  Discipline must be returned to parents, schools and all of our society.  Immorality should be addressed as a Nation and our leaders must be honest, men and women who realize that it’s not about them, but about our children and country…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“They” can continue tooting the same old horn and playing the same old tune about keeping religion and politics separate. So keep them separate, but don’t meddle with our beautiful America that thrived and prospered for years as “One Nation Under God.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s a tried and true concept that works for all – and frankly for those who don’t like the concept, it’s probably time for them to take a hike, go out to sea or find another country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We need to take care of our troops, their families and let them know daily how proud we are of them and their patriotism. You better believe they’re in Iraq because they want us to be safe!&lt;br /&gt;These are the young men and women who can and will help us restore our country; they will give others outside of our country a chance to experience a better life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In closing, some very dangerous red flags are showing their evil eyes in our Nation.  Self-centered, prideful, pleasure seeking and materialistic nation become divided and eventually crumble.  Pride goes before destruction and haughtiness before a fall. Proverbs 16:18&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;History shows that nations without codes of conduct or real human values become extinct.  The Roman Empire, the Soviet Union and other Nations fell due to a decline in morals, values and a corrupt group of leaders kindled by inflation. The wealthy citizens of Rome were prideful, materialistic and pretty much what I call pleasure seekers!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a letter to ponder from Charles Carroll to James McHenry, written around November 4th, 1800. What this letter discusses isn’t news, but its reliable information you can take to the bank.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion whose morality is so sublime and pure…are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments.” Bernard C. Steiner, “The Life and Correspondence of James McHenry,” (Cleveland: The Burrows Brothers, 1907). P.475  Visits me @ http:www.yourannie.com&lt;br /&gt; “God Bless Each and Everyone”&lt;br /&gt;As Always, Annie&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS   It’s time America to gets back to the basics of love and restore our country as “One Nation Under God With Liberty and Justice for All."  It really boils down to the hard raw basics – it’s not about you and it darn sure isn’t about me;  it’s about our children and their children.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-6189037347481301993?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/6189037347481301993/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=6189037347481301993' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/6189037347481301993'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/6189037347481301993'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/11/our-nation.html' title='Our Nation'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-3163607024688421813</id><published>2008-11-07T10:11:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-07T10:16:10.097-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ABC'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='resume'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Government'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Americans'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='President Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hillary Clinton'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dodd'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Barack Hussein Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pelois'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Barney Frank'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CBS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CNN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FOX'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reid'/><title type='text'>No Resume - No Vetting - No Good</title><content type='html'>Resume is a document that describes an applicant’s experience and skills along with an educational background.   A person’s background or past is crucial – you don’t hire a rapist or ex con to run a reputable business.    Resumes are very important tools for employee and employers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who work for us in the government are our employees – we’re supposed to be their employer.  We (Americans) not only deserve, but need to know all pertinent information regarding our federal representatives.   We must know the character, reputation and background of those representing us!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like I’ve mentioned many times during the presidential campaign, if only Hillary Clinton would step forward and speak to all of America and by golly she did just minutes after Obama won the election.  Hillary realizes from past experience with this man that our country needs more than a smooth talking lawyer – we need real leadership.   Why didn’t the Democratic Camp vet this man or even look at a resume or CV.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;When a large company like Chase, Kodak, Koch Industries or Ernst and Young hire a COO or CEO for their  company; the first thing required is a cover letter including a resume.  Why a resume, because that gives them some vital facts about this person. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After they choose several candidates for this position, they have several more face to face interviews.   Do you think any reputable well established company would hire a leader without a background check, an employment history or a proven track record – absolutely not?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The resume gives a snap shot of this person that tells them about the applicant’s work history showing former employment (who they’ve worked for) – how long they were employed with the company, salaries and lists accomplishments and position held while in the employment of the company. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Duties – this is very important and a good resume includes in detail this person’s responsibilities and capabilities.   It will mention the number of employees under their supervision and describes their abilities as a supervisor or executive manager.  It includes any extra schooling, achievements and promotions received and defines their leadership qualifications. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what happened to Mr. Obama’s resume – why has he insisted on hiding it from us?&lt;br /&gt;He forgot his resume – a man without a past, no employment history and consequently nothing to verify his leadership ability, his experience in foreign affairs.   His speeches are political rhetoric, although eloquent and flowery promising us everything, but the moon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here’s an example of his promises that remain without any substance; they’re just idle words.  How many times were we told that 95% of us would receive a tax break or even a 1000 or 1200 dollar check?  40% plus Americans do not pay taxes!!!   He promises to tax the wealthy, only – America you’re in for a big shock if you think that’s a viable solution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His 60 billion dollar economic stimulus plan – hey people did you just forget that we’ve already committed ourselves for the big 700 billion plus Bail Out.”  Just where does anyone think the money for this economic revitalization will come from – did you just raise your hand or did you stick your foot in your mouth?   Unless some American’s have an “inside scoop” that no one else knows about, we’re in deep trouble.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t buy into the tax the rich verb age that Mr. Obama is using.  Tax the larger companies all you want to because they aren’t the ones who pay the tax increase – we do.  Just go study Reagonomics and you’ll understand why the last thing in the world we need at this time is to raise anyone’s taxes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The investors don’t have to leave their money in the US – there are many, many other countries that would love their money.  When businesses are taxed, they just increase the cost of service or product, so guess who pays the piper?   Stop our country from bleeding anymore – dig in your heels, yell, scream, get mad and then do something about it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We need a freeze on our “Bail Out” money until they get the top world economists in as advisors – Pelosi, Frank, Reid and Dodd don’t have a clue what to do with our money!  You can bet that before the New Year arrives, they will spend every dime!   Read what the top economists say about the misuse of our “Bail Out” money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contact CNN, FOX, ABC, NBC and all other news stations – insist that they help us get Obama’s resume.  We must know where he’s been the past 20 years, who he’s worked for and where all our money from his many government grants went – it’s my believe that it went to many fake organizations and then was funneled on down to Acorn, The Weathermen and other radical organizations.  Hope I’m wrong, but logic says that I’m not…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t settle for anymore Obama sidesteps – he already is in it up to his elbows because he wants us to believe he is just a next door neighbor of Rezko (wrong.)  He sat with Wright his mentor and confidant for 20 years, but he didn’t listen to what Mr. Wright was saying (Wrong.)  He sort of remembers serving on the Wood org. with Ayers (who’s kidding who?) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Doesn’t remember what happened to his records in the Illinois Senate (thinks he may have thrown them away or shredded them.)   Didn’t have time to lead our country during his US Senate interim – that in itself should be your answer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just get online and see the fits he’s giving FEC – his campaign funds are so messed up, many millions came from outside our US and the FEC know that a lot of donations were from dummies like doodad and Mr. Goodwill etc..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, we need to insist on the truth about his citizenship, his land deal with Rezko and his various associations with notorious radicals.  It’s most important to get this started before Obama is sworn into office.  As American citizens we have the “right to know” all of the above before we finish our final interview with Mr. Obama.  Don’t even raise your hand and say there’s nothing we can do – what's done can be and should be undone!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please parents, grandparents and young people, stand up and let Washington hear your voice.  Call your US government 1-800-333-4636; send an email to all the elected officials including your governor, President, Representatives, Senators and state legislatures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go to USA.gov for the email addresses.  Shoot an email to this lady – she still has time to help us out of this mess:    &lt;a href="http://clinton.senate.gov/contact"&gt;clinton.senate.gov/contact&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Get President Bush involved – he owes us one!    &lt;a href="mailto:comments@whitehouse.gov"&gt;comments@whitehouse.gov&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stand up for your country, your children and your freedom – don’t sit back, shrug your shoulders and become complacent once again.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“May God Bless America.”      &lt;a href="http://www.yourannie.com/"&gt;http://www.yourannie.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As always, Annie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-3163607024688421813?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/3163607024688421813/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=3163607024688421813' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/3163607024688421813'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/3163607024688421813'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/11/no-resume-no-vetting-no-good.html' title='No Resume - No Vetting - No Good'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-7839156106325850787</id><published>2008-11-06T06:28:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-06T06:29:52.916-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tax break'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='socialism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Americans'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='taxes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='President Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='political blog'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Political editorial'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><title type='text'>So You're in the 95% Tax Break Group</title><content type='html'>Just asking this question, because since I know there’s over 40 % of our American population that doesn’t pay taxes, it remains a mystery to me just who the 95% is that President Obama keeps talking about that’s going to get this awesome tax break he’s promised in all of his campaign speeches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ladies and gentlemen, you’ve just been conned by a con-man.  Stupid, President Obama isn’t – many Americans have just been sucked into the vicious world of socialism.  Your new leaders are going to tell you that their new economic recovery plan will take care of our recession; if you’re in the 18 to 25  group you may fall for that malarkey. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many of us who are parents and grandparents know exactly what will happen – we’ll have to work harder, many work extra hours or get second jobs or ruthlessly cut our family budget.  We, the people, will be the ones to pay for and back this economic recovery plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sounds like lots of you want the “rich” people as President Obama says to get the tax gouge – now that in its self is a little more than interesting.  The middleclass and poor will be the last ones on the “totem pole” and you got it – we’ll be paying for the tax increase that the “pres” has in store for investors and the businesses. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Say your next door neighbor owns auto dealership and of course you’re sitting there thinking that he will be the one to pay higher taxes and spread the wealth.  Nope, gotcha again – he’ll have to raise the price of his product, which means the consumer will be the one paying for the tax increase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let’s think about that, especially the next time you need an automobile.  Yep, your neighbor isn’t paying more taxes – its little ole you that will kick in your extra share.                                                                  Here’s exactly what will happen and our new “pres” knows how it works, but remember he’s into Socialism and he’s spreading the wealth! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Example: Once the “pres” get this tax increase in place, the car manufacturer and car dealership are both hit with higher taxes plus the steel corporations, tire manufacturers etc…  So now that little economy car that should cost 17,500 has plummeted to 18,300.  Who pays the taxes ladies and gentlemen – not the manufacturer or car dealership?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It appears the middleclass are getting all excited thinking they’re one of the 95% getting a tax break.  The class right under the middleclass are ecstatic too, but they’re about to be gouged one more time, hope they don’t spend their 1,000 or 1200 dollar tax credit, because it’s done been gobbled up way before it reaches their back door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, once the investors and business making 200,000 or 250,000 are taxed at a higher rate, the trickle down affect kicks into action overnight.  You – the consumer will cough up the tax increase for the “pres” and his cabinet and they’ll be laughing all the way to the bank. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just remember if it sounds too good to be true – then it probably isn’t true.  Welcome to the new world of “socialism.”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans shut their ears when they heard about the 800,000 dollar donation from President Elect Obama to Acorn.  It’s true and the rest of the story is true also.  The “Pres” and friends have helped themselves to millions and millions of dollars over the past 20 years via government grants and contractors. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone needs to check this out some day, because after the money goes from Hope, to Charity and Faith or whatever it ends up in the hands of the “Radicals.”   Did you really think it was a slip of the pocketbook when 800,000 went from Obama to Acorn?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“May God Bless America.”   See you @ &lt;a href="http://www.yourannie.com/"&gt;http://www.yourannie.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Always Annie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-7839156106325850787?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/7839156106325850787/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=7839156106325850787' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/7839156106325850787'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/7839156106325850787'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/11/so-youre-in-95-tax-break-group.html' title='So You&apos;re in the 95% Tax Break Group'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-3076751465290580615</id><published>2008-11-05T15:41:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-05T15:44:47.164-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nancy Pelosi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dodd'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Barney Frank'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Americans'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Political editorial'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lou Dobbs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reid'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Economists'/><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Thanks to Lou Dobbs, you’re only a mouse click away from finding out the truth about the “Bail Out.” Don’t become complacent, throw up your arms and walk away, because the next time the Democrats play around with our money – we may well go into a “Depression.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Could all of these men and women be wrong about the bail out plan?  They know that at this very minute Pelosi, Frank, Dodd and Reid are preparing special bills to continue with the bail out.  Funny thing is, they don’t even bother to ask the American people – they cockily go about their merry business covering up their previous tracks that caused this recession.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans need to contact their federal representatives and insist on seeing any bill drawn up by Pelosi and crew before it is passed.  All of these economists sent a letter to Washington noting 3 major concerns about the bailout: (1) The fairness, (2) The ambiguity, and (3) This one is terrifying – Long term effects. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America, this is your country, your dollars and your future welfare we’re talking about – have any of you read the letter written by these professional men and women?  If not go to http://loudobbs.tv.cnn.com/ then surf to the right until you reach “Bailout” and click on the letter. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the Obama philosophy – remember “Spread the Wealth, but First Cover Your Butt.”  Get on you computer, phone or go to Washington and stop America’s bleeding – band aids are no longer in style.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The list below are economists who place country first – why not let them form a group to represent us at the White House.  Put a freeze on the “Bail Out” until people who are qualified to make these economic decisions are in place.  Please, don’t let America goe through round 2 and than round 3 with Pelosi, Frank, Dodd and Reid. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If nothing else, email Lou and have him help us – he’s an honest man and very, very knowledgeable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Signed (updated at 9/27/2008 6:00PM CT)&lt;br /&gt;Acemoglu Daron (Massachussets Institute of Technology)Ackerberg Daniel (UCLA)Adler Michael (Columbia University)Admati Anat R.

I know thats not an answer to our problems, so here is an idea that some of you may be interested in... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lets set up a website for all concerned citizens that place country first.  Set up a non-profit organization that can go to the White House and stand toe to toe with anyone who is taking our "rights" from us.  If all of us only contributed $ 5.00 a month to our fund, it would grow to unbelievable proportions allowing us to send representatives from the people of the US to Washington.  I will be most happy to work 24/7 on achieving this, if you think it's probable. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At 68 years of age, I'm still a believer in honesty, trust, reliability and responsibility - that character is the person.  So give me a shout and lets get going on something positive today - I'm over my rush of feeling helpless and whipped! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't know how to reach some great Americans like Larry King, Chuck Norris, the Fox Team, John McCain's Camp etc., but possibly some of you do - lets agree to disagree some, but do what is right for our country and families.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night when I watched the polls, I realized there are thousands out in Americaland who believe in their country.  They can't be purchased for pennies on the dollar and they are ready to stand up for America. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So before I get all gushy over my latest soapbox blog - I'm signing off&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-8584724900528316828?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/8584724900528316828/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=8584724900528316828' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/8584724900528316828'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/8584724900528316828'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/11/americans-who-put-country-first.html' title='Americans - Who Put Country First'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-2979528898886287711</id><published>2008-11-05T06:14:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-05T06:16:28.103-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='political blogt'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nancy Pelosi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dodd'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='John McCain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='political editorical'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Barney Frank'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sarah Palin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='President Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reid'/><title type='text'>A Dark Day in History - President Obama</title><content type='html'>Many, many Americans sold their country, children and grandchildren for pennies on the dollar.  They put a price on their heads!  Never in our Nation’s history have we allowed so many things to be swept under the rug.  Americans have allowed CNN and other liberal news media to elect their president. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What were you thinking or were you thinking when President Obama’s past was not disclosed.  Character is the man and not one of you knows anything about the man.  None of us know if he’s a citizen of our country, what his real past is or where he’s been hiding for 20 years.  But, there’s one thing for sure as the story unravels and it will unravel, you will learn the truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans have been sold down the river by one of the most powerful groups of people in our United States (radicals) and we’re too busy to do our homework.  Hillary Clinton was taken down by this group of people and suppressed – she knows the truth and why she didn’t step forward an expose President Obama is beyond me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My prayer for America this morning is for the ones who will suffer from this new regime – our military, our children, the middleclass, and the investors who keep our country vibrant.  I pray that John McCain and Sarah Palin will once again stand up for our country and fight for all of us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before President Obama takes the oath in January, here’s a need to know list that must be completed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Total exposure by the FEC on his campaign monies&lt;br /&gt;Names of his community organizations that he so willingly handed out tax payers money via grants, contractors etc…&lt;br /&gt;Total disclosure on the purchase of his home – the sale and purchase information is vital at this time. &lt;br /&gt;Expose all Democrats involved in the Freddie and Fannie ruckus and let them serve their time behind bars.&lt;br /&gt;Freeze the remaining money for the bail out until a group of the world’s top economists are selected to direct the use of our money – expose the reasons that the bailout money was necessary to the American people.&lt;br /&gt;Americans must know each bill presented by President Obama, including the earmarks before it is passed – we need a voice in all government operations at this time.&lt;br /&gt;Investigation into Pelosi, Dodd, Barney Frank and Reid’s activities regarding our monies spent before and after the bailout – they need to go!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The news media was a major player in the Presidential Campaign and now they should help get us out of this mess before any new business is initiated in the White House.  They stepped out of the arena of “journalism” and became an evil political machine – every man and woman who has been a part of this “cover up” should not just be reprimanded, but fired. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many Americans like myself who do place country first at all times – we’ve been the first to open our arms to all races, all nationalities and help them realize the “American Dream.”  But, this Presidential Election has been one of the most disgraceful, ugly events in all of our history.  &lt;a href="http://www.yourannie.com/"&gt;http://www.yourannie.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“May God Bless America.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Always, Annie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-2979528898886287711?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/2979528898886287711/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=2979528898886287711' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/2979528898886287711'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/2979528898886287711'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/11/dark-day-in-history-president-obama.html' title='A Dark Day in History - President Obama'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-5625970328961732384</id><published>2008-11-03T11:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-03T14:19:14.749-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='John McCain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Barack Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='election'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Government'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama God'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Michelle Obama'/><title type='text'>To Barack &amp; Michelle Obama</title><content type='html'>Barack and Michell Obama, you're the ones who are trying desperately to make this Presidential Election a race around "ethnicity." We Whitey's ( as Michelle calls us) are the ones who have opened our arms to all races, all countries and and all religions. We're not sitting here on our soap box trying derail Barack Obama due to race!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We believe in "One Nation Under God With Liberty and Justice for All." We believe that the leader of our beautiful Nation must have a great track record in leadership, Barack does not have any track record in leadership.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We believe that our leader must place our country and children first - Barack wishes to place special interest groups, radicals and government first. We believe that a man's color has nothing to do with his ability to lead our country during this economic recession, or affect his ability to keep our country and military safe during this threatening times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We believe that parents are the ones to raise their children and decide what community projects they wish to support - we want a government of the people not a government controlling the people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We Whitey's want a leader who will stand to toe in a bipartisan manner with our corrupt government leaders, regardless of their party. We want a leader who will do away with all the extra baggage in our government at this time, a man who will ruthlessly prioritize and always place his country first. We believe in John McCain, not because of color, but because of character and reputation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michelle, we "Whitey's" have always loved our country and Barack our Nation is not an unjust Nation as you claim. We the people still believe in the legacy our forfathers gave us, "One Nation Under God With Liberty and Justice for All"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Always, Annie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-5625970328961732384?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/5625970328961732384/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=5625970328961732384' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/5625970328961732384'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/5625970328961732384'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/11/to-barack-michelle-obama.html' title='To Barack &amp; Michelle Obama'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-7491504662702778760</id><published>2008-11-02T10:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-02T10:59:34.901-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Senator McCain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mr. Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='election'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Governor Palin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Americans'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sarah Palin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Senator Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='political blog'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Political editorial'/><title type='text'>Mr. Obama - Can You Hear the Two "Joes"</title><content type='html'>Mr. Obama, as a grandmother of seven there are many concerns in my heart about your leadership ability, your character and reputation – you’ve had several years to bring this pertinent information forward for the American people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For whatever reasons, you opted to hide your real past, your Illinois Senate information (I guess you lost it, shredded it or whatever.)&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The community projects you keep telling us about aren’t a reality, because you don’t give us names of your former employers, nor do you give us specifics about the many government grants, contractors and tax dollars you used to spread the wealth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your campaign funds have turned into American’s night mare – we don’t want foreign countries, fake citizens or terrorists feeding your funds or messing with our country. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact that you ignore FEC, the news media and the people of our country refusing to acknowledge your actual backers and supporters makes one feel that you’re hiding your head in shame.  David Axelrod and your immediate Democratic camp can’t hide forever – it’s much better to take your hit now than wait for future repercussions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning I realized nothing that this grandmother says at this time will get America’s attention, but there are two drummers marching to the same tune that need to be heard.&lt;br /&gt;Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher from Toledo, Ohio is worried about your tax plan, which is very difficult to understand, (1)  You keep changing it, and (2) There’s no way 95% of the people will receive a tax break.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over 40% of Americans don’t pay taxes, Mr. Obama.  So thanks to “Joe,” he had nerve enough to stand up and speak for many small businesses in America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Obama, Joe Wurzelbacher, like Sarah Palin is one of us – he was our voice for a brief six minutes.  You probably didn’t hear him, Mr. Obama because you march to a different drummer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Obama did you stop to listen to Joe Cook, one of America’s brave who fights for our freedom and the freedom of other.  Joe said, “Freedom is always worth the price and you Mr. Obama show disrespect for our servicemen and their sacrifice for our country.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go to You Tube and search for Joe Cook.  America, the two Joes said it all – are you marching to their drummer?  John McCain and Sarah hear the two "Joes!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“May God Bless America.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Always, Annie&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.yourannie.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-7491504662702778760?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/7491504662702778760/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=7491504662702778760' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/7491504662702778760'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/7491504662702778760'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/11/mr-obama-can-you-hear-two-joes.html' title='Mr. Obama - Can You Hear the Two &quot;Joes&quot;'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-2175334700742029015</id><published>2008-11-01T15:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-11-01T15:31:13.119-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='John McCain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Radicals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Barack Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='election'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ayers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sarah Palin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Wheels of Radicalism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Michelle Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='David Axelrod'/><title type='text'>Obama's Radical Machine</title><content type='html'>Americans are being devoured by a evil “Radical Machine” starting back in the 1930’s with Saul Alinsky  - by the time we hit the 60’s the government was not only conditioned and living the rules of Radicals, they were contributing billions of dollars to various community organizations via tax payers money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shortly thereafter gigantic social service organizations had been formed and the “Wheel of Radicalism” was well under way.  Do your homework, study your government history and see how Obama and gang have been skimming monies from the government via grants and contractors since “Hector was a Pup.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Presidential Election isn’t about Obama V. McCain – it’s about the Radicals v. McCain.  Obama is just a pre programmed robot, a creation by Ayers, Wright, Acorn, Rezko, the Weathermen, Annenberg, Woods foundation and the list continues on and on….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Want to know what Mr. and Mrs. Obama have been doing recently starting back in 1993 – talk with the Cook County register, Gene Moore.  Start investigating the Chicago Gang with Richard Daley and Daley’s personal strategist David Axelrod, who by the way is Obama’s chief strategist.   Axelrod is one of the strong arms behind the “Radical Wheel” and he’s not about to let Obama’s murky past mess up the Democratic Presidential campaign.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama and gang are professionals at skimming monies from the government via grants, earmarks, contractors  and other questionable foreign sources.  Illinois took one hit after another as Obama treated himself to taxpayer’s money.   Obama made sure that Michelle’s cousin in charge of the Blue Gargole group was taken care of with government money. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama and gang will direct and control your children’s education, your taxes will sky rocket and your voice will no longer exist.   Individual choice will be kicked to the curb and government will control.  Once again I state this Presidential Race isn’t between two men – it’s between a group of powerful radicals throughout our country and Senator McCain and Sarah Palin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palin threw a damper into Daley, Axelrod and Wrights plans – they were scared beyond words that one women, “the all American women” could thwart their plans of 50 plus years.  Why do you think Biden was selected and not Hillary Clinton?   Obama and gang couldn’t control Hillary and they need a scape goat to fill the shoes of Vice President.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If some Americans are willing to throw their voice, their freedoms, the “American Dream” and their children under the bus for the new “Radical” life, there’s not much the rest of us can do about it, but support Senator McCain &amp;amp; Sarah on November 4, 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama is only a convenient fixture, a name piece for this “Radical Wheel.”   Obama may think he’s going to be able to control the all powerful, but it will never happen because Pelosi, Reid and Dodd are the ones at the helm in our government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was a disaster during his time in Chicago until he stepped over into the Chicago Politics in the mid 1990’s and there he’s lived happily ever after, and Chicago remains corrupt and controlled by the Radicals This is without a doubt the most critical time in America’s history and Americans need to once again become the “Voice of America.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The “Wheel of Radicalism” has been in the making for 70 plus years and its spokes include terrorists, lobbyists, and special interest groups all over the World.  So now, folks you know where the unlimited funds for Barack Hussein Obama comes from – and the ironic thing is our tax money has now returned to haunt us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“God Bless America”&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.yourannie.com/"&gt;http://www.yourannie.com&lt;/a&gt;                 As Always, Annie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-2175334700742029015?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/2175334700742029015/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=2175334700742029015' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/2175334700742029015'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/2175334700742029015'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/11/obamas-radical-machine.html' title='Obama&apos;s Radical Machine'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-455216514029223779</id><published>2008-10-31T11:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-31T11:41:20.522-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Barack Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='plitical editorial'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='election'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='editorial'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hillary Clinton'/><title type='text'>Obama and Humpty Dumpty</title><content type='html'>The famous infomercial did two things: (1) It reminded us of the Ross Perot days, and (2) There was a distinct connection between it and the old court room trials in the 30’s.  Obama like Ross talks a lot, but has trouble connecting the dots.  Ross was a billionaire, and like Obama had an intense desire to control, to possess and manipulate all things to suit himself and his immediate needs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Picture Barack in his jammies talking with David Axelrod (Obama’s chief strategist) – David let me talk, let America see my face again, I’m smarter than the jury (Americans) – I’ll slam dunk them once again with my soft shoe shuffle.  By now Barack is jumping on the back of the couch like Tom Cruise coaxing David to make a 30 minute infomercial happen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;David knows who’s paying his bills and reluctantly agrees to the infomercial.  David is tired of trying to patch, put band aids on Barack’s past and present history – he’s tired of making up stories to FEC about the campaign funds.  He hates the fact that Walter Fauntroy gives hard evidence that Kenya was Barack’s birthplace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;David and the Democratic Camp scramble in one of the biggest cover-ups in all of America’s history.  They didn’t vet Obama, which was their first big mistake; little did they know that his track record was covered with one smudge after another.  They’re tired of hiding Michelle Obama from the press and literally shake in their shoes when she opens her mouth to talk. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Democrats have used and abused Hillary and Bill Clinton many times during his Presidential campaign. The “Triplets” Pelosi, Dodd &amp;amp; Reid continue to misuse and abuse our government, country and most of all our families.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; It would be best to bury our money than allow the terrible three to get their hands on the “Bailout money.”  But the worst is yet to come for the Democratic Camp, because Obama, just like “Humpty Dumpty” seems to be falling apart at the seams.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;When the infomercial was aired, the first thing that ran thru my mind was the children’s nursery rhyme “Humpty Dumpty.”  It went something like this, “Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall – Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.”  “All the king’s horses and all the king’s men, couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty back together again.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much like the nursery rhyme, the Obama Dumpty is falling apart and the Democrats are down to 4 days and counting.  Their Obama Dumpty is basically a fairytale without a beginning or ending – his past a mystery, his college days a blur, his community service activities are questionable, because of the company he kept.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; His track record in the Illinois and US senate is weak, full of no shows and the inability to lead or make wise decisions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Dumpty met behind closed doors in Iraq and tried to pull the wool over the Iraqi’s eyes, the Democrats just cringed.  During his debate with John McCain about foreign affairs, they cringed again as he suggested having a tea party with the terrorists without any pre conditions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His connection with infanticide goes way back to his Harvard days and if you check, the one and only article written under the name Barack Obama makes no sense at all. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His infomercial was a three ring circus, orchestrated by Humpty Dumpty himself and actually had nothing to do with anything.  No real plan – but he believes the jury (Americans) will be impressed by the money, the smooth talk and eloquent nonsensical speech.  But, Dumpty was wrong, again! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So fellow Americans if you’re into “R” rated fairytales without a happy ending – than Obama’s your man!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“May God Bless America.”  Visit with me @http://www.yourannie.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Always, Annie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-455216514029223779?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/455216514029223779/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=455216514029223779' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/455216514029223779'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/455216514029223779'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/10/obama-and-humpty-dumpty.html' title='Obama and Humpty Dumpty'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-9093555630419667143</id><published>2008-10-29T22:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-29T22:44:36.330-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Barack Hussein Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Woods Foundation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='election'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ayers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Zebari'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hillary Clinton'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rezko'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><title type='text'>Knowledge Equal Power</title><content type='html'>“Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governor must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.”  James Madison&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Americans take time out before the Presidential Election and arm yourself with knowledge, if you in fact want to once again become “The Voice of America.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some interesting little tidbits that you can check out for yourselves – don’t take my word for anything.  Do some soul searching and decide if this man has the qualifications to lead your country and keep your children safe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iraqi’s foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari has shared some interesting news – Obama sneaked behind our country’s back and tried to do a lot of politicking according to Mr. Zebari.   Mr. Zebari makes no pretense about Obama’s indiscretions when discussing withdrawing US  forces from Iraq. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama has repeatedly done his attorney two step when trying to explain what he said and what he did last July 2008 when meeting with the Iraqi’s.   All of the Iraqis recall exactly what he said and in their eyes, he’s one more person they must worry about during their struggle for Democracy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What’s that he said about Reverend Wright, his mentor, closest friend and colleague for 20 years - its better not to repeat it, but it sure wasn’t a compliment.  When Obama realized that his close association with Reverend Wright was hurting his public image – Obama dumped Wright. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ayers, oh yes everyone know the comment that Obama made about vaguely knowing him when he was but a wee boy – funny how he forgets who started him on his Presidential Race.  Think Ayers had a little tea party and “get to know” my boy Obama coming out party. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, then Obama’s not famous for remembering things like that…  Barack forgot to mention that he and Ayers served on two different boards together: (1) One founded by Walter Annenberg, and (2) The Woods Foundation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What about his fake “Birth Certificate” – why didn’t the Democrats vet him before they nominated him? Now they don’t know what to do about their man, Obama and they’re not even sure what his real name is or his age, let alone his whereabouts for the past 20 some years. &lt;br /&gt;That’s the Democrats for you – never thinking before they jump! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who does Obama think he’s kidding when he went from Columbia University with a low “C” average and miraculously ended up in Harvard.  Go figure – some money passed hands to get that feat accomplished.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What about Rezko, the one Obama describes as living somewhere in his neighborhood – they played “tootsie” in a couple of land deals, and after passing some big bucks from hand to hand, Barack arranged an internship for John Aramanda, son of one of Rezko’s business partners.  &lt;br /&gt;But, that was just a thank you for some of the money that was swirling around like snowflakes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In his first race for public office (the Illinois Senate) he just did his little “Attorney Shuffle” applied a full-nelson by applying “Chicago” rules and ran his three opponents plumb out of town.  One of these opponents was Alice Palmer (longtime Chicago Activist and Obama friend.)  But, as Obama would say, “All is fair in love and war.”&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;He sideswiped Hillary over the seating of Florida and Michigan delegation at the August Convention – the DNC was between a rock and hard place, but Obama did his attorney thing and Hillary was the one who got spanked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There’s a picture that’s just been painted for you – like the Mona Lisa, it’s not what it appears to be on the surface.  Look again and you’ll see a man who has been groomed, mentored by the best radicals and special interest groups in our Nation – they have planned every step of this man’s life starting with the Harvard Review and coming forward to October 29, 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barack Hussein Obama has a past, a very poor record in the Illinois Senate and the US Senate. His business partners and associates have been Radicals, the Chicago gang and special interest groups.  Obama doesn’t place his country first, nor does he care about the middleclass, the seniors, the small businesses or infants. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama believes in redistribution, government control and spreading the wealth and if you’ve been listening closely and doing your homework you know this editorial is not biased, not propaganda and has nothing to do with ethnicity.   We’re talking about a man’s character, reputation and morals. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“May God Bless America.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Always, Annie&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.yourannie.com/"&gt;http://www.yourannie.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-9093555630419667143?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/9093555630419667143/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=9093555630419667143' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/9093555630419667143'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/9093555630419667143'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/10/knowledge-equal-power.html' title='Knowledge Equal Power'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-6204976052552819460</id><published>2008-10-28T14:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-28T14:33:56.858-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='John McCain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='parents'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='election'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Children'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Americans'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sarah Palin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Senator Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='grandparents'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><title type='text'>Remember the American Dream</title><content type='html'>&lt;meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

 &lt;/span&gt;It was a story written by a 68 year old grandmother that was written for two basic reasons, (1) Bring Parenthood back into style, and (2) Expose the meddlers (special interest groups, lobbyists and pork barrel pigs), the peddlers (Liberal news media) and the Government.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;So today 7days before the Presidential Election, I took it off my old history shelf and thought I’d share one small chapter with &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;As you’re reading this, remember the American Dream – don’t sell the dream for a few idle promises and the Obama philosophy.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;One question that keeps running through my mind is, “what were we doing and thinking while &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;they &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;(I’m using this term ambiguously) started chiseling away at our Nation’s foundation.”  Excuse the english pun, but none of us know for sure who "they" really are...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;Their intent was to destroy the once strong family unit and they haven’t succeeded – in fact they’ve bitten the “hand that feeds them.”  They forgot that those playing with fire will sooner or later get burned – &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;’s parents are resilient and frankly have had enough. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;Families have been put threw the ringer the past 60 years as we experienced and practiced the new child psychology theory, the women’s movement and the unrestricted world that the “baby boomers” advocated, which included materialism. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;Our country went from  “One Nation Under God” to a Heinz mix that advocated and condoned materialism and freedom of “self.”  Yes, we bought into this newfound freedom and enjoyed a few years of unrestricted, undisciplined living, but now we’re at the crossroads and parents are down to two choices; (1) Restore our Nation morally and spiritually or, (2) Let the meddlers and peddlers take over ownership of our Nation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;Obama and gang are just waiting to pounce on Americans, their children and their country.  We're on the verge of going from a Democracy to Obamanism.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;Blame isn’t the answer and won’t solve our problems! Parents can consider taking the first giant step of restoration by choosing the right leaders for our country.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;Before the election, our Presidential Elects needs to step forward with “real solutions for real problems.”  In plain english, we want to know in detail how they plan on solving &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;'s dilema.  This time patches, quick fixes and band aids aren't feasible solutions.  John McCain and Sarah Palin aren't the "home health aid" squad - nope they're the surgeons that don't believe in "quick fixes." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;The American people don’t need more taxation and false promises – parents, grandparents and concerned citizens want a strong honest government that can actually correct the run away problems of oil, health insurance, education and a weak economy that went south a long time ago. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;We've got our work cut out for us because during the past 60 years many of us have turned our heads and been content to blame our government, the meddlers and peddlers.  It's unfair to expect John and Sarah to fix everything via the government - we the people must promise to do our part.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;Individually we can take back our rights, roles and responsibilities and build strong family units again!  We can't continue being passive and blame someone for our children’s promiscuous way.  Glenn Beck on CNN has absolutely hit the nail on the head - as individuals we must step forward and make a conscious decision of what road we wish to take during the next 4 years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;We need to make a moral and spiritual stand for our children and our country.  All citizens should consider returning to an old fashioned idea of budgeting – our uncontrolled spending via plastic needs to stop immediately. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;We can’t restore our Nation or our families at this time, because we want what we want, when we want it.  Just getting a handle on the spending frenzy will be the beginning of a great new era for each and every family! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;The peddlers (news media) need to join hands with us and help us build a strong nation again – citizens are tired of the “trickle down news” that is laced with propaganda and a large dose of bias tossed in...  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;We’re capable of making good decisions and tired of being treated like a bunch of preprogrammed robots.  For now let’s revisit where &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; has been tramping around the past 60 plus years. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;Let’s trek back to the 40’s when teachers were faced with minor disciplinary problems such as talking loudly during class, chewing gum, running in the hallways etc. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;Now teachers must cope with rape, robbery, assault, drug and alcohol abuse and at times murder.   So what happened between than and now?   Why have teachers and school administrators been a helpless target without any real support from our Nation? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;I say this because our US children’s education ranks quite low compared to some other countries.   We talk a good talk, but that’s all it is – just idle gossip.   Our public schools are in a world of hurt and we’re ignoring their cries for help and parental support. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;It’s almost like our public schools have turned into baby sitting institutions where we expect teachers to teach if they have time, but lord forbid if they should discipline our kids. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;Here’s a news alert, many awesome and dedicated  teachers have received our message and many have stepped down from their teaching positions and others (not qualified to teach) have stepped in as replacements! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;Remember when it was decided that teachers should be the ones to teach our kids sex education and at the same time the elementary schools were telling our kids that, “It’s alright for Johnnie to have two daddies or mommies – my little grandson came home from school one day and discussed this new philosophy. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;So, grandma tell me why Johnnie has to have two daddies, where’d his Mommy go?   Boy, grandma couldn't come up with any good explanations for that question - so I told my grandson what I believed in my heart and why I believed certain things to be true! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;Along the way, many Americans have adopted the attitude that anything goes in our country because we’re in the land of the free.   So it’s easy to understand why morality and spirituality has taken one hit after the other. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;We try so hard not to offend anyone and in the meantime our true identity is being lost in the modern mix.   It’s difficult to admit that our complacency and busy life styles kept us totally off guard, but whatever the reason – we certainly were too preoccupied in our own little world! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;Although, parents didn’t always agree with the changes taking place in our schools and society;  they didn’t disagree with enough intensity to stop the meddlers.   Was prayer really removed from schools because of a few over zealous teachers and parents or was it's removal spawned by those special interest groups that I refer to as the meddlers? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;At the same time we experienced  hoop la about the Ten Commandments and we were told that they needed to go too!   So gradually with the help of a handful of bored cantankerous people, parents are the ones controlled – not the ones in control. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;Over a span of many years we have experienced numerous alterations in our society, especially our social environment.   Some of the changes are good, but others aren’t morally or spiritually acceptable.   Progress isn’t progress in the &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;USA&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; – when the family unit is weakened.   It’s regression! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;Due to our materialistic binge and newborn freedom of "self," we've treaded into no man's land and we're stuck in the mire!.   As I mentioned earlier our credit card debt alone is enough to confirm that many have lost their ability to budget, let alone save any of their hard earned money. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;Materialism is ruthlessly devouring our children and our country;  it has become the dominant stimuli that keeps everyone scrambling and out of balance.   If materialism is the status symbol of a man or woman’s true worth, than our accumulation of “things” must represent who we really are… &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;When our worth is monitored in dollars and cents, or the degree of fame and fortune achieved – we’ve truly bounced right off the Richter scale.   So my question is, “why are we wasting our time collecting treasures that we can’t take with us at the end of life? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;Many have tread the narrow materialistic path only to find out in the last few hours here on “Mother Earth,” that they wasted a lifetime spinning their wheels in the search for peace of mind and happiness. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;This is just an observation that I’ve made from my hospice experiences;  believe me in those last final hours the one making his or her final journey isn’t sitting there counting their worldly possessions one by one! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;The materialistic struggle is dangerous because its one of compromise – in order to be a participant we must sacrifice “self.”   No doubt materialism boosts the weak ego and serves as a powerful message for those in search of false “Gods.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;But what about our heart and soul – do we really think being a worshipper of materiality is going to bring us eternal peace of mind and happiness?   How did we arrive in this precarious position - could the reason be our desire to give our children a better life?  The question here is what is "a better life?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;Many of us chose a lifestyle that forced us to jump on the fast track in search of a better life for ourselves and our children.   We had a burning fear of being left behind! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;While we spent years trying to keep up with the “Joneses” - our children were sort of raising themselves and about the same time, we started hashing around the problems that our ‘latch key” kids were experiencing. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;Shortly thereafter we were hearing about teen pregnancies and serious problems in our schools, but few of us really took the time to figure out where we’d gone astray.  It was much easier to place all the blame on "they!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;Don’t assume that I’m pointing my finger in a better than thou attitude – nope, I was one of the baby boomers and I’ve been there and done all of the above!  I’m hoping that as a Nation, we can address some of these problems and restore our countries’ foundation and I'm here to help all of you. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-size:11;" &gt;Our children don’t need more gifts – they need us minding the home front and keeping our families safe.   To all of the meddlers and peddlers – get a life, do something constructive or just flat “Get Out Of Dodge.”   Our Country needs the two mavericks.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;/span&gt;Mikulski said that the checklist "is a way to show that whether you were for Hillary or whether you were for Barack, that we've come together on this checklist for change" (&lt;cite&gt;The Hill&lt;/cite&gt;, 6/17).&lt;span style=""&gt;

 &lt;/span&gt;These ladies that backed Hillary know exactly the difference between Hillary and Obama and it isn’t sex! &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;Arizona Republic Endorses Senator John McCain&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;

Nobody in the country knows the Republican presidential candidate better than we do. And no one is better placed to judge whether he would serve honorably and admirably as president of the &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;United States&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;." -- The &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:placename st="on"&gt;Arizona&lt;/st1:placename&gt; &lt;st1:placetype st="on"&gt;Republic&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal;font-family:Arial;font-size:10;"  &gt;The &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:placename st="on"&gt;Arizona&lt;/st1:placename&gt; &lt;st1:placetype st="on"&gt;Republic&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; has spoken – they have observed this Arizonan literally every day during his Senate service and they are qualified to make this statement because his country and fellow Americans have always been his “Priority.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This is one time in our political history, we can’t afford to try a new fad man with radical ideas.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Our country can’t allow a newbee, that none of us really know to play house with the terrorists, communists and illegal aliens.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Our country needs an experienced leader, one who will reach across the table, a man who will protect us from the terrorists, lobbyists and special interest groups.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;John McCain has made a wise choice when selecting Sarah, he knows her strengths and realizes she is a maverick too – a lady who will fight shoulder to shoulder with him to restore our Nation.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;So the movement behind the scenes is the middleclass, the seniors, the &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Clinton&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; supporters and many, many minority groups, because they realize it will take a tough honest man to work through the many problems existing in our economy.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It will take a “Man” to do the job and John McCain is that man.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;There’s no doubt that Obama is losing the battle with the people, they’re losing confidence in his ability as a leader, they resent the fact that he has hidden his past, his real birth certificate.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;When it comes to the finish line, &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; doesn’t want to risk their country and children’s lives on a “dark horse” without a record.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This Presidential race will be decided on experience, character and reputation – &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; will not decide this election on ethnicity, show n’ go and a weak economic plan or a man with extremely limited experience in leadership or maybe no experience.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Our country doesn’t have the luxury or time to try a new fad that could in fact lead to a “Depression.”&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Bill and Hillary Clinton have a chance to step forward for their country and make the right choice.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The young Democrats have a chance, actually the first time in history to give “the people back their voice.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;John McCain will put the man or woman who is best qualified to lead our Nation out of this recession, regardless of party.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;John knows Americans have lost confidence in both parties and a bi-partisan government will be the change.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Funny thing about the powerful Democratic leaders – they think you’re all too dumb to know that they are the ones who sent us down the rain spout in less than two years.&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;One must wonder what Pelosi and her gang is doing with our “bailout” money – it won’t be used for the citizens of the &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;US&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;, that’s for sure.

No. 1234; To save American taxpayers up to $24 billion in the 10 years after passage of this Act, by preventing the earned income tax credit, which is, according to the Congressional Research Service, the largest anti-poverty entitlement program of the Federal Government, from being claimed by Y temporary workers or illegal aliens given status by this Act until they adjust to legal permanent resident status.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Now, do you believe he’s interested in protecting you, your money and children?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Yep, he was one of 14 Democrats that voted against protecting our military and sending them additional funding in &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Afghanistan&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;In the same bill, Obama voted against:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Seventeen billion dollars in the package is for domestic spending. Out of this funding, $6.4 billion is for Gulf Coast hurricane relief efforts, $3 billion in emergency aid for farmers, $1 billion to upgrade port and mass transit security, $3 billion towards converting closing U.S. military bases to other uses, and $650 million to increase funding for children’s health care. A Congressional Research Service summary states that the “other domestic beneficiaries include state HIV grant programs, mine safety research, youth violence prevention activities, and pandemic flu protection.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Now is this a man who really cares about those on the &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:placetype st="on"&gt;Gulf&lt;/st1:placetype&gt; &lt;st1:placetype st="on"&gt;Coast&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; who need extra relief?&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;What about our farmers – well the Obama God really doesn’t care much for small businesses or farmers.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Isn’t this the same man who talked out the other side of his mouth about a better health care plan – so what about our children Obama?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Same man was against getting a handle on the “Piggy bank” and controlling earmarks.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Remember all the gibberish about tax breaks for 95 % of the people under the $250,000 income bracket.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Well, first of all keep in mind the over 40% of our population don’t pay income tax.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Anyway, here’s another big “No” on the bill to protect us from a tax increase.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;3/23/07 &lt;a href="http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/110/senate/1/votes/107/"&gt;Vote 107: S CON RES 21&lt;/a&gt;: Graham Amdt.

He will stand toe to toe with the politicians (their earmarks), the lobbyists, the special interest groups and shysters who continue misusing and abusing our tax dollars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John and Sarah will shake up the government and their way of doing business. The government, meddlers(special interest groups &amp;amp; lobbyists) and peddlers (the liberal news media) have led us on a merry chase of lies, political propaganda and daily thumb their nose at us showing an extreme bias.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America should once again become the "voice," and restore our Nation to it's once strong foundation. Parents, grandparents and concerned citizens need to know what our Government Representatives are doing at all times, who is spending our money and why - someone needs to get a handle on the "Supreme Court" and their outlandish shannigans must be stopped.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, we need to address the Berg versus Obama lawsuit, which is going to be a noose around America's neck, if Obama does in fact win the Presidential Election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The very dangerous times for us will be from November 4th until Inauguration. You know the "Obama First Act" is getting long and boring; the fact that he is ashamed or scared of his past makes one believe that his last 20 years are in fact misrepresented.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He's the only one in history, who serves 8 years in the Illinois Senate and says," there aren't any records, I wasn't a very good secretary or may they're lost."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Probably one of a very few who went from a low "C" at Coumbia and magically ended up in Harvard Law School.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He's the one who pretends the middle class and poor are his priorities, when in fact his voting record shows his disdane for small businesses, college students, women, babies, farmers and the list keeps compiling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He's ashamed of his employers and refuses to disclose his employment records with anyone.&lt;br /&gt;His US Senate voting record stinks and full of "no shows" and present. When he did vote, it pretty much was against cleaning up the government or helping the 'Private Sector."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So thank goodness for people like Mr. Berg who are willing to address important issues - "How can parents, grandparents, senior citizens and college students elect a man to lead our country, if they don't know who the man really is...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far as anyone knows, he hasn't any leadership ability, his campaign funds shows many ficticious and foreign contributors (FEC will verify this - just go to their website.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama is the only Presidential Elect in the history of our United States who places himself above our laws and refuses to work under the dictates of our US government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My question is this - why would anyone vote for this man without questioning his whereabouts and past? Why would anyone intentionally allow a stranger in our midst to lead our country?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He could be a terrorist, working with Bin Laden or a communist - none of us know anything about this man!

What did Collin really say and would it have been a better option to just remain in the sidelines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Colin didn’t know on the 15th of October which man he would endorse and the Nation knows that Colin and John McCain were not just passing politicians, but good friends.  So someone in John’s camp upset Collin Powell and in a childlike manner he changed canoes in midstream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who from the Obama camp nabbed Colin and wrote his speech for him – what he said during his endorsement is not what he has stood for all of his mature life.  The scary thing is this – whatever tactics were used to sway Colin are being used as we speak on some other unsuspecting human being.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do I know there’s something “fishy” in Denmark, because Colin said several things which absolutely were not true – Collin Powell is either getting senile or was hood winked. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First Colin let us know that his endorsement for Obama had nothing to do with ethics – it had everything to do with ethnicity, because the rest of the speech was totally confusing and irrelevant to America’s real issues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said his endorsement for Obama was due to who he is????  Also, the fact that he likes Obama’s style – does that mean an eloquent speaker and well dressed man qualifies as a leader of our Nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He mentioned John McCain changing – that’s an untruth.  John McCain is still John McCain and his country comes first, end of conversation.  On the other hand Senator Barack Obama has had more changes on taxation, fuel, economy that “carters got pills.”  Such as:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t drill – well, maybe yes drill&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t tax 95% of the Americans – well gosh, 40 % of the American population don’t pay taxes.  Collin knows this to be a truth – he’s not stupid!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, Obama admits that his platform is based on one thing:  Spreading the Wealth.  Hey, Mr. Obama isn’t God and he doesn’t have to play Robin Hood for any of us.  His idea of “Wealth Spreading” will land us into a depression, not a recession. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondly – the fact that Colin states he knows Obama well signifies that either Collin doesn’t care about this man’s past or his endorsement is entirely about race.  Colin mentions Obama’s knowledge, but doesn’t have anything to back up that statement. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As mentioned earlier someone provoked Colin Powell and its payback time.  Isn’t it a shame that Colin would stoop this low to put our Nation and children in danger?  But, maybe he had a reason, because he also stated he wouldn’t campaign for Obama – read between the lines America. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Colin Powell a retired U.S. Army general and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff just played the Obama card to help John McCain out. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Colin knows which man can protect us from terrorists, lobbyists and radicals – it isn’t Obama.  Colin knows exactly what Obama’s voting record and status is in the US Senate – he just slam dunked Obama big time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama’s next slam dunk occurred Berg versus Obama and that might friends is one lawsuit that will make National headlines in the near future. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The suit has real meat and potatoes to it and not only alleges that Obama isn’t qualified to be president, but the DNC admits the Democratic National Committee has been promoting Barack Hussein Obama’s Presidential election knowing he was ineligible to serve as President of the United States.  Follow this information and see the final outcome, just paste Berg v. Obama into your browser.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One more recent Slam Dunk is one Obama would like to hide from William Weld’s endorsement, but Weld much like the energizer bunny just won’t go away.  Weld is somewhat in the same category of friends as Ayers, Wright and Acorn and I do believe they’re attached to Senator Obama’s hip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama can’t expect a “pitty party” for his devious actions and many lies – no one is interested in his petty excuses and anyone who turns on their friends at the last minute isn’t exactly the kind of man I had in mind to run our country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here’s a quote that is for all of us and it is the one way we can help John McCain and Sarah Palin restore our Nation’s once strong foundation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must put the family in order;to put the family in order, we must cultivate our personal life; and to cultivate our personal life, we must first set our hearts right.~ Confucius ~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stop in for a visit @ &lt;a href="http://www.yourannie.com/"&gt;http://www.yourannie.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Always, Annie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-7836229493988244302?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/7836229493988244302/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=7836229493988244302' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/7836229493988244302'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/7836229493988244302'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/10/obama-slam-dunked-by-three.html' title='Obama - Slam Dunked by Three'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-7662216513208243461</id><published>2008-10-22T13:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-22T13:46:07.470-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='John McCain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Weathermen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Radicals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='election'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ayers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Americans'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sarah Palin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CNN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Senator Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama God'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hillary Clinton'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><title type='text'>The Obama God</title><content type='html'>America, you have a voice, but you’ve allowed your ears and eyes to be the only “voice” during this Presidential Elections.   Families, grandparents and concerned citizens were once ‘the voice of America” and now they’ve been blindsided by an “Obama God.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you were told, your son or daughter was running with a gang involved in drugs, your first reaction would be denial.  But, then after taking a deep breath, you realize your child has been hanging out with a tough crowd and his or her choice of friends are truly questionable. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, your child is picked up by authorities telling you they did a drug bust and although no drugs were found on your child – he or she was in the vehicle and seen entering the crack house.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you search the child’s room, find diaries, books and letters with the drug lords name, address and telephone number  and thousands of dollars hid in an ole shoe box – next you check the  computer email and find that your child is actually connected to a gang who’s reputation includes possible murder, rape and other heinous crimes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now parents, you have the evidence what would you do about this situation, you have the evidence, you’ ve heard the police report and you’ve read the letters, emails and disgusting communication between your child and the gang members – it’s your call. Would you shut your eyes and stay in a state of denial or would you open your eyes, listen and take time to find out the “real truth” before making a final decision.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, here you are in 2008 and many are letting the liberal news media , Obama and his camp sell you a pack of lies.  Why are you content to believe others without validating the information?  Is it too much work to get online and go to the Illinois Senate, the US government, and do a complete background check on this man they call “Obama.”&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Some of America just sits back and says, “We’ll stick with the Obama God, even if he is wrong and endangering our families and children.”  “We don’t care who he really is – we just like is style, his eloquent speeches, his money and most of all his “God Like” presence.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;So for those who are happy sleeping with the pigs and mucking around with the gophers, go for it, but remember that  “What goes around, comes around” and your children and children’s children will be the ones to clean up the mess created by this man and his radical followers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you were not content to just wallow around in the media propaganda along with listening to the trashy Obama ads, you would be doing your homework, reading books and learning the ”real truth.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two men running for president are totally opposites – one is a leader and the other a programmed robot owned by Acorn, the Weathermen, Unions, Special Interest Groups and the extreme radicals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One knows how to protect our country from the terrorists, dictators and bad guys.  The other just wants to sit down and have a tea party with those who threaten our freedom and our Nation.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;One is against further taxation – the other spouts off about 95% of Americans receiving a tax break – never telling you that over 40% of our population doesn’t even pay taxes at this time.  So the 95% is just another stinking piece of propaganda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One wants to stand toe to toe with our government, cut out the “piggy bank,” remove government programs that are stealing our tax dollars and he knows how to create jobs by eliminating our dependence on foreign countries for fuel.  This man knows that one more jab against the investors, small business and the middleclass in America will ultimately create a “depression.”&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;The other is hallucinating and promising a “world class education,” a solution to our health insurance problem and a promise to spread the wealth.  The only way all of these things are possible is simply by digging into your pockets and taking your hard-earned money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t forget the Obama God has every intention of putting your kids and your college kids to work – in other words, the government will replace Democracy for a Dictatorship.  What’s that about secret ballots and infanticide?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a few people who could assist us on the quest for truth – Hillary &amp;amp; Bill Clinton, CNN and other liberal news media  along with 93 other young Democratic leaders that are still wet behind the ears.  All of these people could step forward and make a stand for their country – for their children and for our Nation.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully some of these people can put “politics” on hold and replace it with the truth – our country is confused, angry and agitated and we deserve the “whole truth.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bill &amp;amp; Hillary are afraid to ruffle the feathers of the Democratic camp, because Hilllary is itching for the Presidential nomination in 2012.  Hillary knows more about Obama, then his grandmother, his wife Michelle or his hair dresser does, because she has been exposed to his illegal shannanigans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CNN and their buds could expose this President Elect by telling the whole truth and returning to the basics of good journalism.  CNN has a few great men who are on the verge of making the right move before November 4th.   Hey  guys, we’re not asking for lies or editied and re-edited news for our listening pleasure – we’re talking about things like truth, honesty, character and reputation.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The 93 young Democrats may just surprise all of us, because they’re not comfortable with the Democratic party at this time.  Hopefully, they’ll step forward and place their country first!  May “God Bless Each and Everyone.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Catch you @ http:www.yourannie.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Always, Annie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-7662216513208243461?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/7662216513208243461/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=7662216513208243461' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/7662216513208243461'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/7662216513208243461'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/10/obama-god.html' title='The Obama God'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-5865614497461900302</id><published>2008-10-21T22:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-21T22:06:31.029-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Senator McCain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Senator Biden'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='election'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ayers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Governor Palin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='editorial'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Senator Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bill Clinton'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reverend Wright'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><title type='text'>Obama Philosophy - 101 Socialism</title><content type='html'>First there was Frank, Bill, Jeremiah, Bernadine, Alice and then came Obama – the spitting image of Frank.  Oops, at least the ears are the same!   Frank was the guy that took little Obama by the hand and started the brain wash job during Barack’s teenage years.   “In Dreams of My Father.” Obama tells the world that Frank was the strong influence and the man who helped Obama find his lost identity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frank and friends had lived in Chicago for some 20 plus years and knew it was ripe for a young Obama to move in and start his “Chess game.”  Ripe, because Chicago was notorious for its violence and corruption – all Obama needed to do was light the flame and keep agitating the people until a bon fire erupted. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chicago was where Obama went from a toddler wrapped in liberalistic paraphernalia to a marathon runner equipped with tools of the extreme liberalist and radicals.  Frank, Ayers and Wright, along with a few women served as Obama’s mentors and prepared their student well – Obama jumped into community activities, analyzed the hot spots of the various communities and strategically started the fires.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama didn’t exactly lead anyone or anything, but he mastered the art of using tax payer’s money to fund his radical channels.   If there’s one thing this man can do adeptly, its raising tons of money, note I didn’t say honest money – I just said money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stage left, in comes Mayor Harold Washington and his communist buddies who helped Obama makes his way to the Illinois Senate.  Washington was pretty much a “shoo in” when he ran for the office of mayor, because his campaign was backed by the Unions, many churches and special interest groups and getting Obama into the Illinois Senate was a pretty easy task for Washington and his Chicago gang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember, truth is not relevant literally non-existent during the radical’s feeding frenzy on the less fortunate.  Knowing how to control the masses is the secret – Obama knows that power comes from convincing those who “have not” that they can take power away from those who “have.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Obama’s job during this Presidential Race is to fuel the fire, create discontent, anger and confusion in the “have nots.”   The “have nots” are much like a flock of geese and their only job is to follow the leader.   Obama keeps the “have nots” hungry, wanting more, dreaming of what may be and he constantly changes the game plan or tactics so the troops don’t experience boredom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The Obama philosophy is “power in numbers,” never letting the right hand know what the left is doing and tearing down the opponent’s defense.   He loves to hit below the belt as we saw with Governor Sarah Palin and Biden was chosen over Hillary for one reason only. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama couldn’t control Hillary and frankly was afraid of her, but Biden was somewhat like the stray out on the streets that would sit up and bark or shake hands for a few pats and a pot full of earmarks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, Senator Obama with the help of Acorn, Project Vote and all his “pet” radical groups are showing Americans their uncanny control over our voting system.  The officials at the polls are overwhelmed, over worked and totally confused, which is exactly what Obama and friends have counted on with their devious tactics.  Obama plays stupid and Acorn just laughs all the way to the bank with their $ 800,000 dollars. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So America if you want an honest man, a real leader and one who places country first and foremost on his agenda – vote for senator McCain. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want a deceitful, smooth talking attorney with lots of money who places radicals first, poor next and completely ignores the “middle class,” then Obama’s your man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, if you’re interested in Frank – just start surfing for Frank Marshall Davis: he was a great friend of Obama’s grandfather and a mentor to Barack Obama. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See you later @ &lt;a href="http://www.yourannie.com/"&gt;http://www.yourannie.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Always, Annie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-5865614497461900302?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/5865614497461900302/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=5865614497461900302' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/5865614497461900302'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/5865614497461900302'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/10/obama-philosophy-101-socialism.html' title='Obama Philosophy - 101 Socialism'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-9046175249248701818</id><published>2008-10-21T07:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-21T07:47:25.740-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Senator McCain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DPC'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='voting record'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Presidential Election'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='election'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Annenberg Challenge'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sentor Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Americans'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><title type='text'>Big Daddy Obama</title><content type='html'>Evidently many Americans don’t  realize they’re being sold down the river – and they’re  not concerned with all of the illegal money Obama is plopping into his campaign funds?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It will take years for FEC to straighten out this “Obama Mess.” The Presidential Election isn’t a lottery or game show – it’s our one chance to select a “real leader” who will place country first. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John McCain will ruthlessly cut out fictitious government programs, control the earmark frenzy, gradually restore our broken economy and create thousands of jobs as we become fuel independent for the first time in our history.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you know:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.      2005 the Senate Banking Committee under Republican control set forth a bill that would have prevented much of our economic crisis, because Fannie, Freddie and any other buyers of Subprime and Alt – A mortgages would have been monitored thus preventing their underhand and undercover practices. &lt;br /&gt;Guess what, the bill never passed due to the Democrats – should that surprise anyone?  It does and the scuttlebutt produced by (the liberal news media) of course snowed Americans again by blaming the Republicans.  Here’s some important facts etched in stone.  Paste these addresses into your browser and find out the “real truth.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/09/20080919-15.html"&gt;Just the Facts: The Administration's Unheeded Warnings About the Systemic Risk Posed by the GSEs&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or    &lt;a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/09/20080919-15.html"&gt;www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/09/20080919-15.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.      $ 800,000 to Acorn for some campaign assistance – now Obama (the two-stepping lawyer) attempts to reword the projects that Acorn accomplished for the Senator Obama’s campaign.  Instead of major events programming, polling, advanced work – he is doing his lawyer shuffle and telling FEC that he made one more little mistake; he says a new amendment must be created and re-worded. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new amendment Obama’s creating will state that Acorn was immersed in “get out the votes” projects – will any of us forget the Roman Cathedral created at the Democratic Convention or the recent problems officials are having at the Polls created by Acorn &amp;amp; friends. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.       Obama says his contributions to CSI of 63,000 and 75,000 from his campaign funds were for advanced work (whatever that means.)  Advanced work is just another way of saying, “ it’s none of our business.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FEC should not accept any revision from Obama concerning this gift he gave to Acorn – instead they need to pin his butt to the wall for a jillion other illegal errors in his campaign funds.  He has accepted foreign monies, illegal contributions from Mr. Goodwill and DooDad or whatever and their blatant reluctance to return the illegal monies is totally disgusting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.      America is of the opinion that Obama’s friends and business associates aren’t important – in other words the years he spent handing out money to special interest groups and radical groups aren’t significant or relevant.  It’s obvious than that a man’s character and reputation doesn’t equate to the man! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.      What if much of the money funneled to these groups came out of your pocket – would that get your attention?  Get online and do a little research!  You’ll be shocked how Obama dragged your tax money in the back door and literally threw it out the front to his “buddies.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.      Lobbyists are a dime a dozen and around 1968, there were 60 plus lobbyists at the White House and in 2008 we can round that figure off at approximately 34,000 – they control the government, dictate the wording on new laws before they’re passed and you’d better believe the lobbyists have total control over the three branches of government at this time.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama and Axelrod say they detest lobbyists or do they?  I think they doth protest too much! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7.      Obama’s community service projects and organization like the DPC, Annenberg Challenge, Gamaliel Foundation and many other supposedly religions organizations  remain indebted to you and your tax dollars.  But, Obama will do the magic hat trick and say these community organizations had money trees! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Obama gets his way, all charitable organizations will be under government control and your children will become “little Obama Girl &amp;amp; Boy Scouts” doing their community service just to please “Big Daddy.” &lt;br /&gt;Then the new Obama education for all children will kick in along with a  disgusting bunch of extreme liberal and radical teachers who will execute the Obama philosophy in our schools, which I say is bordering on brainwashing!&lt;br /&gt;Show me a man who’s only weapon is money and radical backing.   Show me a man who hates the middle class more than the “elite.”   Show me a man without a past, no real employment history, show me a low C student who was ushered to Harvard by the “gang” and show me a man who was a lousy Illinois and US Senator and I’ll point to Senator Baracka Hussein Obama, jr.&lt;br /&gt;Americans, why can’t you regain your once strong voice and stand up for your children and country?  Why are you placing your children in danger’s way?  Why are you letting the liberal news media choose the next President of the United States? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“May God Bless America.”          &lt;a href="http://www.yourannie.com/"&gt;http://www.yourannie.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Always, Annie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-9046175249248701818?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/9046175249248701818/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=9046175249248701818' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/9046175249248701818'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/9046175249248701818'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/10/big-daddy-obama.html' title='Big Daddy Obama'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-359791492386091411</id><published>2008-10-20T15:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-20T15:21:09.730-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blog'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Barack Hussein Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='election'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Children'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Americans'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='editorial'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Senator Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><title type='text'>Our Children - Our Country - Our Destiny</title><content type='html'>What will it take to get America’s attention – when will they see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Why are they jumping on the bandwagon of radicals and terrorists? &lt;br /&gt;Americans have once again become complacent, the controlled – not the ones in control.  Why are they allowing others to think for them, to endanger their children and families? &lt;br /&gt;Why have they allowed themselves to be thrown into the backseat of the bus?  What do they really care about and why have they allowed “materialism and self” to be the issues in this Presidential Race? &lt;br /&gt;Americans are undergoing major surgery in 2008; recovery depends entirely on their ability to perceive the real truth along with their decision to pick the right leaders.  The United States has reached a cross road in history and the wrong turn will eventually lead to our Nation’s demise. &lt;br /&gt;Much like the Romans our materialistic, selfish and immoral ways will allow our country to crumble – we’ve been in the midst of political corruption for many years, many moons before President Bush took office. &lt;br /&gt;Our economic crisis goes beyond government and actually started in our own backyards.  Americans have chosen other “gods” in the search for happiness and during that interim our children have taken the hit.  Parents and children wallow in a false sense of entitlement, which reverts back to a worship of “self.”&lt;br /&gt;Our children have been exposed and trained in the “rules of self.”  They have been wired since infancy to expect more and want more.  Parents have been blindsided by all the special interest groups (meddlers), peddlers (news media) and the government; parents and grandparents have been thrown into a “fish bowl.”  &lt;br /&gt;Parenthood took its major hits during three specific eras in our history, (1) The baby boomers, (2) The women’s movement, and (3) The new child psychology invented by Dr. Spock and colleagues.  During these eras, the special interest groups, Supreme Court and liberalists made their moves. &lt;br /&gt;Our children’s education started to be tainted, teachers and schools became the controlled – not the ones in control. &lt;br /&gt;Prayer was pitched, because we were told it was infringing on other’s rights.  The Ten Commandments were removed from courthouses and along with all of this morals took one hit after the other.  Shacking up, unwed parents, gay marriages etc. are just a few of the things that parents were forced to endure.&lt;br /&gt;Morality and spirituality have been tossed to the wind by the extreme liberalists and radicals – we’re literally in a state of limbo. &lt;br /&gt;Children are the dominant ones and control the families every move.  Parents are the workabees who scramble 24/7 in an attempt to keep up with our fast moving high tech society. &lt;br /&gt;We do have rights, no one is going to make a child pray in school – he can twiddle his thumbs, take a walk or shut his ears, but our children have rights too, you know.&lt;br /&gt;No one is going to make anyone read the Ten Commandments, but our forefathers were smart enough to realize that the commandments were important to all – they represented all things related to morality and spirituality and served as a guideline for parents and families whether they believe in god or not…&lt;br /&gt;Now is the time to change the “wheels to nowhere” and as individuals help restore our weak Nation.  There are several key issues to consider and American parents and grandparents must take the time to empower themselves with knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;1.      Do you want to live under the “rules of radicals” by Alinsky?  Go to &lt;a href="http://www.geocities.com/WallStreet/8925/alinsky.htm"&gt;www.geocities.com/WallStreet/8925/alinsky.htm&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.     Do you really believe that Obama’s going to reduce taxes for 95% of our population - remember approximately 40% of the American population don’t pay taxes to start with and out of the goodness of your heart you’ll pay for the little bonus check he sends to those not paying taxes (that’s called spreading the wealth.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.     Do you know anything about Senator Obama’s past – study his Illinois Senate record(nothing to brag about) – go online and check out his voting record in the US Senate (mainly no-shows and present) and when he did vote it surely wasn’t for the middle class sector, college students or infants!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.     Do you realize Obama handed out your hard earned money for years to radical groups or don’t you care?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It all boils down to this – would you hire the “Maytag Man” to remodel your house?  Of course you wouldn’t, then why would you even consider hiring a man who pals around with crooks, plays around with your money, supports Radical Groups (Obama just gave $ 800,000 to Acorn) and one who believes in “infanticide to be your leader?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans are putting a price on their children and family’s heads – by voting for Obama you’re endangering your families and children.  Just the fact that many Americans are admitting that a man’s past, his character, reputation and track record are irrelevant verifies the price they’re willing to pay for the Obama philosophy.   “May God Bless Each and Everyone”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stop in at &lt;a href="http://yourannie.com/"&gt;http://yourannie.com&lt;/a&gt;  for more political commentaries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Always, Annie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-359791492386091411?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/359791492386091411/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=359791492386091411' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/359791492386091411'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/359791492386091411'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/10/our-children-our-country-our-destiny.html' title='Our Children - Our Country - Our Destiny'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-6905889418373140916</id><published>2008-10-18T10:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-18T10:26:35.750-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pelosi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='John McCain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Barack Hussein Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Washington'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='election'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='democrats'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='editorial'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='America'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><title type='text'>John McCain is the Solution - Obama &amp; Gang the Problem</title><content type='html'>It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to choose the right man for President of our United States – he must be courageous, qualified to lead and committed to his country and people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He must have previous leadership experience and be able to pass a stringent background check, because a man’s true “character” should be the deciding factor for this race. America must have a man who believes in the principals set forth by our founding forefathers, “One Nation Under God With Liberty and Justice for All.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you were looking for a guide to lead you out of the jungle; you’d hire one who had previous experience and was adept at fighting off the lions, tigers and bears.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you hired someone to run your household or your business; you would do a background check on this person and verify their track record.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are looking for someone to watch over your children; you wouldn’t want a baby killer or a predator that preyed on your children’s mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So electing our next President must be based on priorities; (1) Your children’s safety, (2) Your families security, (2) Your countries safety, and most importantly, (3) A man who places his country first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Change” seems to be a keyword in this Presidential Race, but are you prepared for higher taxes, less freedom and a dictator that wants to share your hard earned dollars and spread the wealth (whatever that may mean.) Just how much “change” are you prepared to endure?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Obama change or philosophy is based on the “Rules of Radicals” – is America ready for this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John McCain refers to “Change” as restoration – restoring our country so families may once again live the American Dream, keeping us safe from terrorists, removing the special interest groups and lobbyists and giving us back our “voice.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John is prepared to stand toe to toe with the bad guys and fight for our freedom – he’s not following a radical agenda. Nope, he’s one of us and places America at the top of his priority list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The big differences in these two men are change, character and reputation; Americans can opt for a power monger or a man who will restore our once strong Nation. Senator McCain is a man of entitlement and believes that America should be placed back in the hands of the people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For we are entitled to know what your government is doing with your money at all times! We’re tired of the leaders who pass our money out the back door to the shysters, lobbyists and special interest groups.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We’re tired of the horrific surprises and lack of accountability in Washington and at this time “we’re on a need to know basis” and as we speak, Pelosi, Obama and “Buds” aren’t on the same page with America. They are busy creating another cover up to protect their backsides and going to try a slam dunk on America &amp;amp; the Republicans” once again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t sit back and allow this to happen, send emails to Washington, contact your Senators – jump, yell, scream or do whatever it takes to stop their political scams. During this bail out or rescue plan, no money should pass their hands without the consent of Americans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do I know all of the answers, absolutely not, but I do know the Democrats haven’t acted in a responsible manner and aren’t qualified to handle our hard earned money. They aren’t leaders – they’re scam artists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, when all is said and done – do you want a man with “real solutions for our real problems” or do you want a man who is the “problem without real solutions.

What we did see at the debate last night was a eloquent speaker with a glib tongue embellished with a few theatrics. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senator McCain is correct in showing his concern about Ayers, Acorn and the entire radical conglomeration – Obama’s relationships are crucial, because they still exist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here’s Obama’s  answer when the press asked him about his relationship with the Acorn group.  Obama replied: "first of all, my relationship to ACORN is pretty straightforward.  It's probably 13 years ago when I was still practicing law, I represented ACORN and my partner in that in that representation was the US Justice Department in having Illinois implement what was called the 'Motor Voter' law,  to make sure that people could go to DMV’s and drivers’ license facilities to get registered.. It wasn’t being implemented. That was my relationship and is my relationship to ACORN.   &lt;a href="http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/story?id=127673&amp;amp;page=1"&gt;Jake Tapper&lt;/a&gt; is ABC News' Senior National Correspondent based in the network's Washington bureau.  Oct.14, 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the famous Obama sidestep again - any Presidential Elect who hands $800,000 from his campaign funds over to Acorn has signed his reputation in blood.   Let’s look at Acorn’s history and be prepared for a shock – it’s graphic, disgusting and scary. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Connect the dots starting with Obama, Acorn, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ayers and the Chicago Annenberg-Challenge and other radical groups – Obama’s last 20 years hasn’t been spent trying to improve your children’s education.  That’s only a ploy to derive millions of from the taxpayers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, if you want to make a little money under the table, sign up with Acorn and do some voter sign up – did I forget to mention it doesn’t matter how you get voters to sign up, or if they have a true identity, just use your imagination and write down 5 names, any ole names and you’ll get paid with some of Obama’s 800,000 that he donated to the Obama/Acorn funds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There’s over 200,000 paying members connected to Acorn and 85 plus chapters – they’re the busy little beavers who screw up polls, take over city governments like New Your City.   New York doesn’t really need a governor, because their governor has been ruthlessly stripped of power and the Acorns (mostly Democrats) are at the helm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acorn is against honest cops, want to increase regulation, raise corporate taxes, and pretty much give all Unions a free get out of jail pass.  Lord forbid if a Corporation tries to leave NY without an “Exit Visa.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2004, Acorn and sister Project Vote once again was caught messing with voter registration, during that time thousands o f voter registration forms lost, convicted felons were registered to vote in states where they were ineligible to vote. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again in 2006, Acorn turned in over 20,000 questionable voting forms in Missouri, same situations occurred in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Colorado.  In 2007, Acorn had a repeat performance in Washington State – this isn’t here say, the Acorn hoaxers pleaded guilty and were sentenced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In March 2008, Acorn politely raised their hand announcing they were going to help Obama via voter registration and getting out the voter  drives and you see what their underhanded tactics are doing at the polling venues.  Remember, it was Obama who gave Acorn $ 800,000 of his campaign money asking for Acorn’s help. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Due to the short amount of time before the Presidential Election – polling officials will not be able to correct this problem at the polls and this can lead to disaster, as we all know. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama knows about the underhanded deals of Acorn in cities throughout the country, in fact Obama  was the one handing out our money to different radical groups, so he know the rules of Acorn and willingly plays the game called “Rules of Radicals.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CNN should be thrown into the radical mix, like Obama and his gang; truth is non - existent or irrelevant – CNN doles out information to the US that is prejudice, biased and some kind of sophisticated propaganda.  If they were interested in running a reputable media service, they would start with the truth and tell us the whole story, not bits and pieces that they’ve edited to get a programmed response from us. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someday, America will tie all the missing pieces of the puzzle together and the results will make front page headlines.   Acorn and many of their sister, cousin and great uncle groups receive unlimited monies from the department of housing and urban development our money again being spent by a bunch of radical groups.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, if you’re wondering whose playing around with some of your money – just ask Senator Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Ayers and of course the “Acorn Group.&lt;br /&gt;Acorn’s Housing Corporation spends its time and our money on mortgages for illegal aliens, 10 year interest only loans and you can bet your bottom dollar, they’re connected with Fannie &amp;amp; Freddie at the hip. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We the people are the ones paying for Acorn’s many devious deals – they want your money, not you and if we’re dumb enough to think that Obama is not one of them – then we deserve whatever we get from this man they call “Baracka Hussein Obama, Jr.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regardless of CNN’s analysis on the debate last night – John McCain was awesome and explained how he would lead us out of this economic crisis, that is if Nancy Pelosi, Obama, and the Democrats don’t misuse the  “Bail Out” money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this time, we should place a freeze on our government and ship 10 to 12 of the best economists world – wide in to help us in the distribution of our money.  Americans should know where their money is going, who the beneficiaries are and why we’re bailing them out.  We need to know the interest rate being charged, penalty for default and the true assets of these companies we’re bailing out. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Democrats have shown us in a short 2 years how quickly they can put our country in a severe economic crisis and if anyone is listening the Republicans are once again trying to warn us of some major problems in the White House. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“May God Bless Each and Everyone.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Always, Annie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-8092485136115631072?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/8092485136115631072/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=8092485136115631072' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/8092485136115631072'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/8092485136115631072'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/10/shame-on-obama-800000-to-acorn.html' title='Shame on Obama - $ 800,000 to Acorn'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-4713554411905506830</id><published>2008-10-15T22:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-15T22:18:35.841-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Liberalists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Senator McCain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Radicals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='election'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ayers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Senator Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reverend Wright'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><title type='text'>A Real Man or Obama</title><content type='html'>Give America a real man, one who has the courage to stand toe to toe with the Republicans, Democrats, lobbyists and special interest groups.  A man who places “country first” and admires his fellow Americans for their resiliency, creativity and strong family values. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Maxwell has a perfect description for a good leader, “The first step to leadership is servanthood. and unlike Obama, John Mccain has been a servant for the people and their country.  He will reach across the table and work with others.  John has proven to Republicans and Democrats that he places country first!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Like Old Henry Ford said, “you can’t build a reputation on what you’re going to do.”  Obama is a “Gonna Do” man without any history of doing or being. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It takes more than a “glib tongue” and a “gonna do” philosophy to lead a country.  Why should anyone believe he can step forward and lead parents, grandparents and citizens of the US through our economic crisis?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Show America a man without a past and history – Senator Obama, please step forward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Show us a man with a despicable Senate voting record – all fingers will point to Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Show my fellow citizens a man who “changes his mind” more than his underwear – 93 Democrats and many Americans will point to Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Show the world a man who buddies around with radicals and terrorist – Obama just raised his hand as he sits huddled with his Acorn camp. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Show the United States a man whose campaign funds have been running amuck – FEC just stepped forward and they aren’t smiling!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ask the kids against Obama who refuses to call a third trimester infant a human being – yep, once again Mr. Obama has raised both hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Show us a President Elect who gave “Acorn” a special 800,000 gift to screw up the polls – all poll officials will point their fingers at Obama &amp;amp; Acorn..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ask the entrepreneurs and small businesses a man who’s trying to get his hands in their wallet to spread the wealth – they’ll point to Obama and talk about socialism, radicalism and terrorist tactics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Show me a man, who can’t connect the dots from childhood to maturity and I’ll show you a liar. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Show me a man whose buddies include Reverend Wright, Raines, Jim Johnson, Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko and the list goes on and I’ll point to Senator Obama who uses our money to fund radical groups.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America, it’s your call – you are responsible for making one of the most crucial decisions of your lifetime for your children and your country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; “May God Bless America Today and Always.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Always, Annie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-4713554411905506830?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/4713554411905506830/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=4713554411905506830' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/4713554411905506830'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/4713554411905506830'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/10/real-man-or-obama.html' title='A Real Man or Obama'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-2796247759864101762</id><published>2008-10-14T19:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-14T19:21:00.360-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Liberalists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nancy Pelosi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Radicals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rules of Radicals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='democrats'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CNN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Senator Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rats'/><title type='text'>The Bobbsey Twins - Obama &amp; Pelosi</title><content type='html'>Meet the “Bobbsey Twins” Senator Baracka Hussein Obama, Jr. and Nancy Pelosi.  The Bobbsey twins refers to two identical individuals without their own personality – they pretend to be like another person and that is exactly what America has in their “Icebox” at this time (two radical who have lost their identity.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a definition to ponder: One who betrays: &lt;a href="http://www.answers.com/topic/betrayer" target="_top"&gt;betrayer&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.answers.com/topic/double-crosser" target="_top"&gt;double-crosser&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.answers.com/topic/judas" target="_top"&gt;Judas&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.answers.com/topic/traitor" target="_top"&gt;traitor&lt;/a&gt;, which in layman’s terms is better know as a rat.  If the shoe fits, let them wear it not as a fellow American, but as an outsider who creates turmoil, confusion, anger and resentment while painting a mirage of what is and what may be…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pelosi and Obama are dangerous partners and they both live by the “Rules of Radicals.” Truth is non existent and irrelevant to them and neither one is capable of thinking on their own – they have been devoured by “Alinsky’s” radical philosophy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below you will see a few of the major bills that Pelosi much like her twin voted “No” on – is this a public servant or a “rat in your ice box.?”  Can you truly call this person one of us, an American who places country first?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“No” on requiring photo ID for federal elections&lt;br /&gt;“No” on protecting the pledge of Alligiance&lt;br /&gt;“No” on amendment to prohibit flag desecration&lt;br /&gt;“No” on restricting frivolous lawsuits&lt;br /&gt;“No” on small businesses buying health insurance&lt;br /&gt;“No” on tax exempt medical savings accounts&lt;br /&gt;“No” &lt;a name="Candidates"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;on federalizing rules for driver licenses to hinder terrorists&lt;br /&gt;“No” on reporting illegal aliens who receive hospital treatment&lt;br /&gt;“No” on reducing tax payments on Social Security benefits&lt;br /&gt;“No” on providing tax relief and simplification.&lt;br /&gt;“No” on $46 billion in tax cuts for small business&lt;br /&gt;“No” on making the Bush tax cuts permanent&lt;br /&gt;“No” on making permanent an increase in the child tax credit&lt;br /&gt;“No” on banning Internet gambling by credit card.&lt;br /&gt;“No” on treating religious organizations equally for tax breaks&lt;br /&gt;“Yes” on providing $70 million for Section 8 Housing vouchers – Fannie &amp;amp; Freddie just got goose bumps when they heard that -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bash Bush if you want someone to bash, but remember here are some of the bills Nancy voted “No” on and yet she and her twin (Obama) keep saying they worry about the middle class.  I don’t think so!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here’s a glimpse at yet one more “No” to pass a bill that would permanently extend the cuts in last year's $1.35 trillion tax reduction package, many of which are set to expire in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would extend relief of the marriage penalty, reductions in income tax rates, doubling of the child tax credit, elimination of the estate tax, and the expansion of pension and education provisions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America, don’t lie down and play dead, quit listening to the propaganda spewed out by the twins and the far left News Media.  Find the truth for yourself and make a wise decision for your children and country, select the man and woman who place country first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bobbsie Twins don’t care about the middle class, college students, small businesses and whether you want to believe it or not – their voting records are etched in stone.  Just take “Ye Ole Mouse” and find out for yourself. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although, Obama pretends that he won’t raise your taxes – he and his twin already have insured that you’ll be taxed at a higher rate and there are other problems in Washington as we speak with Pelosi at the “helm.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is trouble on the hill, which may easily shift us from a recession to a depression and yes, we’re being blind sided once again by the Democrats! &lt;br /&gt;WASHINGTON (CNN) -- House Republicans on Monday objected to new spending measures that congressional Democrats are considering as they draft a $150 billion economic stimulus package.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Ohio Rep. John Boehner, the top Republican in the House, called the proposed spending "an irresponsible, business-as-usual approach that has earned this Congress the lowest approval ratings ever recorded."  The entire article can be found at CNN Politics.com dated the 13th of October, 2008.  Updated 5:20 PM, EDT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here’s one more example of radicalism when Nancy Pelosi gave her US Inaugural Speech to the House.  What she says is entirely different from what she believes!  It’s just a flowery speech written by a ghost writer written for the moment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“In this House, we may belong to different parties, but we serve one country. We stand united in our pride and prayers for our men and women in the armed forces. They are working together to protect America, and we, in this House, must also work together to build a future worthy of their sacrifice.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Here she acknowledges our armed forces, but her voting record discredits her idle gossip about our troops – it appears Nancy actually tried to set our troops up for defeat.  Nancy and her twin (Obama) keep chiseling away at the truth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many of our leaders are realizing they’ve been slam dunked by two extreme liberalists and the GOP is starting to make a stand for America.  Here’s yet another “blip” from her Inaugural speech.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“A new America with a vibrant and strengthened middle class for whom college is affordable, health care is accessible, and retirement reliable. A new America that declares our energy independence, promotes domestic sources of renewable energy, and combats climate change.”  Look at her voting record a total contradiction to her speech!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America needs to remove the “ Bobbsey“ twins from our government – we have many honest, credible politicians who are more than capable of leading this Nation.  First, we must get rid of the “Rats.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May “God Bless America” and give us the wisdom and courage to restore our once strong foundation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Always, Annie&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stop in for a visit @http://www.yourannie.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-2796247759864101762?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/2796247759864101762/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=2796247759864101762' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/2796247759864101762'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/2796247759864101762'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/10/bobbsey-twins-obama-pelosi.html' title='The Bobbsey Twins - Obama &amp; Pelosi'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-4882033139198982616</id><published>2008-10-13T17:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-13T17:16:11.354-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='voting record'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='election'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Governor Palin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='editorial'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Senator Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Presidential campaign'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jr.'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Senator Baracka Hussein Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><title type='text'>Will the Real Senator Obama Please Stand Up</title><content type='html'>Will The Real Senator Obama Please Stand Up&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;a href="http://thinkexist.com/quotation/if_once_the_people_become_inattentive_to_the/144522.html"&gt;If once the people become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, Judges and Governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature, in spite of individual exceptions.&lt;/a&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;Quote by Thomas Jefferson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a wise man and so very perceptive – he realized that our government would become vultures due to our lack of attention and personal involvement.  For years we’ve complained, criticized and grumbled about our government, but none of us exerted ourselves to stop or correct the problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The “voice of America” has been lost in the shuffle of politics and our leaders did become wolves which Thomas refers to as our general nature.  In other words, our society has assumed a position of complacency and inattention, not just in government affairs but in our schools, homes and workplace. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have been programmed to accept changes, good or bad, without voicing our opinions – now as the economy is headed south, we’re alert, attentive and angry, but we’re a day short and a dollar late. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why are we content to listen to the extreme liberal news media, while they give us “trickle down information” that has been edited, re-edited and enhanced in order to extract a specific response from us?  We’re allowing the News Media to play politics by giving us biased (one sided information) and propaganda.  Where’s our voice and where’s the good ole boys and girls who would face the devil himself? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We should be ashamed of ourselves to allow the media to make fun of a young daughter, wife and mother.  Why are we so “hell” bent on destroying a person that loves her country and family? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it her gender or is it a sadistic example of our freedom to speak?  Sarah’s personal laundry has been flaunted across the Nation – she has a special needs infant, an unmarried pregnant teenager and a sister that experienced a very nasty, cruel divorce. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Correct me if I’m wrong, but I belief that makes her one of us – she actually is walking in our shoes and knows how we feel.  Why has CNN and the late night shows used her as the “laughing stock?” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why aren’t America citizens concerned with the Democratic President’s past history?  Why don’t they care about his character, reputation and close associates? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Business men and women will be the first to say that character, history and reputation are crucial elements during the hiring process.  The screening and interviewing process sifts through the applicants based on past history, work record and qualifications. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This allows an employer to verify past work history, do a background check and compare qualifications with other applicants.  Senator Obama’s camp keeps slam dunking us by insinuating that we’re acting inappropriately when we ask for Obama’s work history, past employers, work record and qualifications.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perfectly example was when we questioned Senator Obama about his affiliation with Ayers and he down played it by saying he was just a little boy, around 8 years old when he met Ayers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What about his relationship with Ayers in his 30’s and 40’s?  Oops, he plumb forgot about that or had a convenient lapse of memory – whatever Mr. Obama, you’re proving to be less than credible in your answers when asked about Ayers, Reverend Wright, Rick Warren, T.D. Jakes, Wallis and Tony Campolo?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would you hire a man or women to run your family affairs without a complete background check, employment history and personal history?  Nope, you’d be the first to turn down anyone who can’t provide their past history, because they may endanger you and your family! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why are people willing to put their country and children’s lives in dangers way?  Who is this man that calls himself Baracka Hussein Obama?  Who were his employers during his so-called community service?  How did a low C student land in Harvard and who bribed who and paid his way? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why would we want a man who refuses to admit that a living breathing fetus isn’t a human being?  What would make you think that this man has any real leadership abilities?  Why doesn’t his voting record in the Senate disturb you? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We’re discussing a man that has major problems with his campaign contributions and his fellow Acorns are creating havoc in the Polls and FEC can’t keep up with his shenanigans.  This Senator Obama is a character alright and if you quit turning a deaf ear, you’ll learn that his campaign is based on “The Rules of Radicals.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His theatrical hoop la at the Democratic Convention is a core element of the extremists – that wasn’t Caesar standing between the columns, now was it “King Obama.”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senator Obama can hip hop from fence post to fence post on fuel, economic relief, world class education and taxes without batting an eye, because “truth” is irrelevant and nonexistent with the radical crowd. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Character will become the most important element of this Presidential Campaign and past history, work record, voting record and personal history are all the character building ingredients.  So will the “Real Senator Obama” please stand up?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May God Bless America! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Always, Annie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-4882033139198982616?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/4882033139198982616/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=4882033139198982616' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/4882033139198982616'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/4882033139198982616'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/10/will-real-senator-obama-please-stand-up.html' title='Will the Real Senator Obama Please Stand Up'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-1753899411069129586</id><published>2008-10-12T21:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-12T21:44:54.161-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bridge to Nowhere'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Governor Palin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sarah Palin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='editorial'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><title type='text'>Sarah Said "Thanks But No Thanks"</title><content type='html'>There’s one way to find out about “The Bridge to Nowhere.”  Get online and get the facts from the CCAGW (Counsel for Citizens Against Government Waste about this little old bridge. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sarah Palin certainly wasn’t the one to have her fingers in the pig pot for this bridge and during her campaign for governor of Alaska she questioned the validity of this project - the horrific cost of the “Bridge to Nowhere” was a grave concern and she expressed this publicly.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, the funding for this bridge was back in 2005 way before Sarah’s took over the Governor’s reins.  For those who wanted to blog, create politic scandal and merrily make fun of the Alaskan Governor, you will be amazed that the 2006 bill had provisions written into the bill allowing Akaka to make the decision to move forward on this project or stop it!  Sarah stopped it! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sarah Palin’s budget January 2007 didn’t include the “Bridge to Nowhere.”  In July of 2007, Sarah stated that a 300 plus billion dollar bridge wasn’t the answer.  No, Congress wasn’t concerned with Alaska’s bridge problem and they didn’t veto it, but Sarah Palin said, “No Thanks.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you’re wanting the truth, than write a letter to Council For Citizens Against Government Waste, 1301 Connecticut Ave., NW. Suite 400, Washington DC 20036 or call them at 202-467-5300 or better yet go to:  &lt;a title="E-mail lpaige@cagw.org" href="mailto:lpaige@cagw.org"&gt;lpaige@cagw.org&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or better yet, call your congressman and ask him or her to send you all of the history on the “Bridge to Nowhere.”  In the meantime ask three questions:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When was the bridge funded – get an exact date and the particulars on the funding.&lt;br /&gt;Was Sarah Palin Governor when the work on the Bridge to Nowhere was initiated?&lt;br /&gt;Was it Congress or Sarah Palin that vetoed the bridge?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nest time little buddies, try getting your ducks in a row before you write fantasy stories or maybe your genre is fiction, if so let Americans know that you’re just writing an editorial or blog for entertainment purpose only. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Always,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Annie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-1753899411069129586?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/1753899411069129586/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=1753899411069129586' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/1753899411069129586'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/1753899411069129586'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/10/sarah-said-thanks-but-no-thanks.html' title='Sarah Said &quot;Thanks But No Thanks&quot;'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-581345720497872480</id><published>2008-10-09T07:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-09T07:51:32.855-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Berg Versus Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Anderson Cooper'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='election'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='democrats'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CNN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Senator Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Joe Lieberman'/><title type='text'>Democrats - Please Stand Up for Your Country</title><content type='html'>Who is This Man They Call Obama&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will the real Democrats please step forward, America needs you now – many of you have been placed between a rock and a hard place.  There’s no doubt you want a Democrat President, but the question is what price will you pay?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Few of you are waking up in the morning, looking in the mirror and saying, “that man they call Barack Hussein Obama is an awesome man, a man of integrity, a man who personifies honesty and the man to lead America and insure our children’s safety. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since America is in a history making mode in 2008, consider stepping forward by placing your country and children first on your list of priorities!  A few Democrats obviously know the man we call “Obama,” because he’s the Democratic President Elect, but I don’t believe the majority of Democrats know anymore about this man than we Americans know…. There's 93 Democrats who aren't going to be led to water!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America has a history of complacency and for a short time after 911, we woke up, participated in protecting our country, cared for those in need and showed the love that has made our United States beautiful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now we’re placed at the mercy of a bunch of radical politicians who are about to devour us like an appetizer.  Bets are on that Osama Bin Laden is celebrating every minute of your Democratic campaign and is making sure that the man called “Obama” has an obscene amount of money for his campaign.  FEC is just about to verify the above statement – hopefully before the Presidential Election on November 4, 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the Democrats that are honest, men and women of integrity – follow Joe Lieberman in his attempt to do the right thing for America.  Give Anderson Cooper @ CNN a big hand for following awesome journalism ethics – go to Anderson’s website and read the segment “Obama’s Lying About William Ayers.” Anderson Cooper had the strength and wisdom to expose one of Obama’s many lies – way to go Anderson! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are Democrats going to do about Berg Versus Obama?  Surely, they aren’t going to allow Obama to sweep Berg’s complaint under the rug as is Obama’s way of handling business as usual?  Hey, Anderson we need you and Glenn Beck to take this piece of news and run with it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t sit back and let a few shaky Democrats endanger our country – most of you have already commented that John McCain is honest and a proven leader who works with both parties.  Forget the “Political Rhetoric” and make a stand for Americans and their children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why would anyone allow this man they call “Obama” win the most important election in our history on here say and false information?  He follows the “Rules of Radicals,” listen to his campaign. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; As Always, Annie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-581345720497872480?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/581345720497872480/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=581345720497872480' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/581345720497872480'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/581345720497872480'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/10/democrats-please-stand-up-for-your.html' title='Democrats - Please Stand Up for Your Country'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-5554614545086402346</id><published>2008-10-09T07:44:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-09T07:46:44.507-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Women&apos;s Rights'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Unite'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Katie Couric'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='election'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Governor Palin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sarah Palin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CNN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Condoleezza Rice'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Women'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Saturday Night Live'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><title type='text'>Women Join Sarah - Lets Unite for family and Country</title><content type='html'>Women Join Sarah – Lets Unite for Family and Country&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She’s a daughter, a wife, a mother and friend to many – she’s one of us and yet there are those who enjoy making her the laughing stock of America.  You tube is a perfect example of raw humor at this young governor’s expense. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturday Night Live continues to poke fun of the Alaskan Governor and frankly they do it because of ratings and money – to them she’s a hot commodity that is bringing them to life again.  That’s what Saturday Night thrives on – is laughs at someone else’s expense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Madonna comes out of her closet to rip the governor apart and Madonna of all people shouldn’t throw stones or even marshmallows!  CNN just lowered their standards another notch as they try desperately to degrade the Republican VP, so their buddy Joe Biden can live happily ever after.  There again CNN is all about money and one-sided stories – what happened to old fashioned unbiased journalism?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thousands of Obama Bloggers have had a hay day with their off color puns and derogatory remarks about this young women and mother – they even sunk so low as to make fun of Sarah and Todd’s precious little “Special Needs’ baby.  Baraka Hussein Obama, Jr spent much more energy and time trying to belittle Sarah Palin than on his duties as Senator.  Now there’s someone with their priorities on straight! Ha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What could American women be thinking at this time to sit by and allow this atrocity?  Maybe you forgot who fought for woman suffrage or the first woman to vote in the US after the 19th amendment was passed – like Sarah they were proud to be an American and wanted to make our country a better place.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton formed the National Woman Suffrage Association around May of 1869.  Lucy Stone fought valiantly to get voting rights for women.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1896, the National Association of Colored Women was formed by Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin, Mary Church Terrell and Anna Julia Cooper.  Brave women who believed in their country and fought for their freedoms. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me refresh your memory, 5 days after the 19th Amendment was signed in Hannibal, a small town in Missouri, Mrs. Marie Ruoff Byrum cast her ballot.  She was the first female to vote in our US and the year was 1920. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have Hillary Clinton, Dr. Condeezza Rice, Katie Couric, Barbara Walters and the list goes on and on – like Sarah all of these women fought for equal rights for women.  Women are still fighting for equal pay in the workplace with hopes in the near future that this dream may come true. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are talking about daughters, wives and mothers who have withstood the forces against womanhood; women that have contributed unselfishly to make our country a safer and better place.  And yet, we are sitting back at Sarah’s expense and exploiting her womanhood in front of God and the World – shame on us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s obvious that we’re out of tune or not marching to the same drummer that these courageous women marched to – our agenda and priorities have become a maize of confusion.  We’d rather spend our time belittling a brave young woman, who has accepted the position of Republican VP Elect than to reach out our arms and give her support.  Shame on us for such ugly, inexcusable behavior! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn’t it funny how CNN and other liberalist news media find this young woman so intriguing – is it her gender or is it jealousy, maybe money?  Our country is literally on their knees, in a recession, slipping daily towards a depression and we’re just experiencing the traumatic affect that the “Bail Out or Rescue Plan” is creating. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To all American women, regardless of race, color, religion, sexual preference or marital status – she is one of us and she is our sister.  Lets put our energy into something positive that will benefit our country and families.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans need to start doing their homework, reviewing our President and VP Elect’s records, remembering that even our laws support “Guilty by Association.”  If you are driving the get away car for a bank robbery yet didn’t actually rob the back you can bet the long arm of the law will put you away, yes guilty by association. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It should matter who Baraka Hussein Obama, Jr. has associated himself with throughout his life.  Reverend Wright spews hatred weekly that is anti-American and he is proud of it.  William Ayers is a confirmed terrorist, claiming responsibility for several bombing here in the United States without one thought or word of remorse, regret or acknowledgement that his hate for American, the place he calls home is completely criminal!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, who the Candidates associate with and their past history is crucial, because it defines their character and certainly speaks to their judgment.   Past performance is a great predictor of future performance.  Sarah has one of the highest approval ratings as governor in our history –Alaskans are proud of her and knows her as “Sarah.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you taken time to really get to know Sarah – or are you still sitting back enjoying the dirty jokes, lies and puns?   Sarah is a daughter, a wife and mother – yes she’s a maverick and no she’s not an insider, nor does she run with the “Elite” crowd. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Country comes first to Sarah and she wants to leave her children and yours a legacy that they can be proud of and get their arms around.  As Sarah would say, “Good Night and May God Bless America.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Always,&lt;br /&gt;Annie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-5554614545086402346?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/5554614545086402346/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=5554614545086402346' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/5554614545086402346'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/5554614545086402346'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/10/women-join-sarah-lets-unite-for-family.html' title='Women Join Sarah - Lets Unite for family and Country'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-6437474024509871184</id><published>2008-10-07T13:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-07T13:14:14.595-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pork barrel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Acorn'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Barack Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='election'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='News Media'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pig'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Senator Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='extremists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='President'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Barack Hussein Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Weathermen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Radicals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='democrats'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><title type='text'>Fellow Americans - It's Our Call</title><content type='html'>It’s Our Call&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fellow Americans, we’re down to the wire on making a wise decision about our next President of the United States.  We have exactly two options left at this time: (1) Bury our head in the sand, keep sweeping crap under the rug and let the extreme “Liberal” News Media choose our next leader, or (2) We can do our homework and equip ourselves with the “truth” before we go to the Polls on November 4th, 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans certainly are known for their complacency and inability to make wise decisions – we’re a Nation who has willingly leaned towards materialism and concentrated on “self.”   We’ve allowed special interest groups to chip away at our rights and we’ve been so beaten up by these groups that we’ve assumed a very precarious passive attitude. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We’re so afraid of stepping on someone’s toes that we say, “Let everyone do whatever they want to do even though it’s harming our families and children.”  Prayer has been removed from schools, the Ten Commandments chucked out of the Courthouses, our teachers have been stripped of any authority, our morals stink and now we’re blaming the Government for our present dilemma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In answer to the above, put prayer back in schools for those who do not wish to pray can twiddle their thumbs or take a potty break.  Put the Ten Commandments back into our Courthouses, no one is going to twist someone’s arm and make them read the Commandments.  Give our teachers back the control they should be endowed with so they may teach, mentor and discipline our children.  For Pete’s sake, lets get a Supreme Court that makes wise and honest decisions for our country – there is a majority of hard working citizens that need to be considered, before the court just arbitrarily hands down another stupid decision.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The subject of morals is a touchy one, but when you think of a society that advocates shacking up, treats divorce like it’s a fashion show – tired of the old outfit, just trade it in for a new model and allows the kids to run the family household, we’ve got more than a little problem.  Excuse the ramblings on of a 68 year old grandmother of seven, but I love my children, their children and my fellow Americans!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We want what we want, when we want it regardless of consequences or affect our actions have on our families and country.  Look at our plastic debt at this time due to our uncontrolled frenzied spending – the excessive credit card debt is one of the biggest factors leading to “bankruptcy” in the US.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey Mr. Biden and son, did you know that credit card companies are responsible for one of the biggest scams in our country – the crafty credit companies slipped in families back doors offering some of the lowest interest rates in history.  We took the low interest bate and are in debt up to and including our armpits. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although Mr. Obama participated in some not so great lobbying adventures for Biden – he still talks out of the other side of his mouth, saying he’s going to attack these special interest groups with all four feet!  Here’s another of the famous so called “changes” Mr. Obama is talking about to Americans – only problem is, its after the fact!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s human nature to put our screw ups on someone else’s shoulders. We have the nerve to blame our government, the leaders and everyone except ourselves – many statistics by consumer credit counselors show the magic number (14) as the number of credit cards per family. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If there’s any doubt in your mind about our frenzied credit card buying, just copy “The Nilson Report” into your browser and check our uncontrolled buying spree compared to other countries.  Now, with a housing crisis we’re in deep “doo doo” because America just forgot to assume parental and consumer responsibilities via of a budget.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We’re faced with a horrific government “bail out” for the shysters who gave unsecured loans to families and these same companies invested in risky stocks, because there wasn’t any security measures in place.  So a large part of the financial burden that we will all have to share can be traced directly back to parents, grandparents and all other American citizens, not just the fair haired government leaders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So choosing a leader to clean up our foolish spending and buying beyond our means is more than a little tricky – it’s like a teenager asking Dad and Mom to lie about their activities and keep than out of jail.  The “Dad” we select to lead this country must be able to grasp the big picture and insist that we get a handle on our artificial Gods (Materialism and Self.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a look at Obama – he’s darn sure about change, but is it the change America needs?  He voted against against the Amendment for the Foreign Intelligence Security Act, wasn’t exactly interested in protecting his country against terrorists and the “bad guys.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voted for a 60 billion increase for the Child’s Health Insurance program and neither Senator Obama or the Democrats had a clue how Americans would pay for this bill.  This mind set by the Democrats is what I call “Look good for America.”  Obama’s philosophy about watching out for America’s pocketbooks just doesn’t exist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our government can’t keep voting for more spending when unless they know where the money is coming from and it darn sure better not be American families – we’ve got our own problems to correct. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Obama didn’t want to extend the Bush tax cuts for the “Middle Class” and he has nerve enough to say he’s worried about the “Middle Class.”  Why should he worry, our taxes are going go up, up, up and he’ll laugh all the way to the bank.&lt;br /&gt;So according to the government online sites, Obama has missed voting over 46 % of the time – is this the man who should be our leader?  If he can’t handle his job as Senator, why would one think that he has any real leadership potential at this time? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then one must check about his ability to budget during his Senate interim – you’ll find Barack is in a run away mode when it comes to budget.  Get online and check out his house deal in 2005 and while you’re at it see who his buddy was when he purchased this grandiose “Mansion.”   Don’t forget to see what Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden really think about the “piggy pot.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember, Obama’s Jumbo Home Loan in 2005 for 1.3 some million and all of the scuttlebutt about his preferential treatment by his little buddy Northern Trust.  Believe the FEC and US Senate Ethics Committee had to be called in on this small purchase by Barack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember the “change” Obama talks about in all of his campaign speeches, he has decided in 2009 he’d get a handle on his pork barrel requests. During 2006 and 2008 he requested over 860 ml. in pork barrel and that folks is a leader, who is responsible and cares about country.  Check out VP Elect Biden’s wee pig requests amounting to the tune of over a quarter-billion in fiscal 2009. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America, this Presidential isn’t a beauty contest, nor a lottery – it’s one of the most important decisions you will make for your children and country.  Do you want a leader or do you want a follower?  One places country first and one spends all of his waking moments sweeping his garbage under the rug. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Democrats and liberal News Media are armed with brooms, shovels and propaganda – they are afraid to address the real issues honestly, why are they afraid to bring Mr. Barack Hussein Obama’s political shenanigans to the forefront? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Doesn’t it occur to anyone how strange it is that all of these people Obama was associated are conveniently relegated to the ancient history shelf.  Don’t you want to know more about Acorn, Weathermen Underground and a host of other radical groups who are attached with Senator Obama at the hip? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s time to get over the “he said – she said” malarkey – do your homework and see who has the ability to lead our country during this horrible recession.  What man has proven leadership abilities?  What man has fought for his country and stood toe to toe with Republicans and Democrats?  What man places country first?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Words are so cheap, you know and it’s time for Americans to take on the awesome job of restoring our Nation back on its once solid foundation.  Our Forefathers gave us an awesome legacy and one of the strongest foundations in all history – “One Nation Under God With Liberty and Justice For All.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those are our rights, don’t sit back and let anyone continue to chisel away at our foundation – it’s time to get rid of the “Meddlers (special interest groups), Peddlers (Biased News Media) and the crooks in the Government.  It won’t be easy, but it’s worth it for your children and their children!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Always, Annie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-6437474024509871184?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/6437474024509871184/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=6437474024509871184' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/6437474024509871184'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/6437474024509871184'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/10/fellow-americans-its-our-call.html' title='Fellow Americans - It&apos;s Our Call'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-5795913068604222515</id><published>2008-10-05T21:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-05T21:23:20.160-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Radicals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Barack Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Acorn'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Weathermen underground'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FOX News'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reverend Wright'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FOX'/><title type='text'>Congrats to FOX - America's Voice</title><content type='html'>Tonight was a first for Americans, FOX steps forward with information that has been withheld for years from the public.  We should join FOX and keep concentrating on this man who “flip flops” at every street corner. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Change is his middle name as he’s proven time and time again.  His political platform changes more often than most people change their underwear.  He’s dangerous and more than a little scary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How could Americans honestly vote for a man whose history is so questionable – no real leadership record, radical philosophies, refuses to provide pertinent information as Illinois Senator and won’t discuss who is employers were during his so-call community service. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senator Obama will not release his college information, refuses to tell America how a low "C" student made it to Harvard.  His campaign contributions remain a mystery to all and his wife is being kept under lock and key for a reason.  Remember, she's finally proud of America!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barack denounces his radical friends, employers and backers to America and expects us to believe that his association with the “radicals” is just a casual relationship.  Does he think working hand and hand with Acorn and the Weathermen underground is casual?   It appears that the “radicals” own Mr. Barack Obama and control his every word and move!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Barack stated, Reverend Wright was like family (like a grandmother, wow) and they’ve been attached at the hip for 20 plus years.  Wright was his pastor, mentor and idol for all of those years and Obama dumps him when the “kitchen gets too hot!”  Mr. Barack Obama has been groomed for this Presidential position by the “bad guys” for years and Americans better wake up before it’s too late.  He didn't just accidently arrive on the scene - he was strategically placed in the Democratic Camp by a group of "radicals."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Possibly Reverend Jeremiah Wright is on the verge of exposing Obama and needs some help from bloggers and the news media – hey, Fox give him an interview.  Wright is prepared to talk and wants all of America to hear what he has to say and is looking for a way to pay Obama back for his blatant denial about their relationship. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Wright were asked, who really groomed and mentored Obama – he’ll raise his hand, if he’s asked how long they were attached at the hip (he’d love to answer.)  Wright needs a little boost and with our help, he’ll be Obama’s worst nightmare. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FOX, keep up the good work - America needs you 24/7.   From a 68 year old grandmother of seven, who loves her country, children and grandchildren.  Thanks again for what you do…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As always, Annie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-5795913068604222515?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/5795913068604222515/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=5795913068604222515' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/5795913068604222515'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/5795913068604222515'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/10/congrats-to-fox-americas-voice.html' title='Congrats to FOX - America&apos;s Voice'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-3584640690188462212</id><published>2008-10-04T00:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-04T00:24:30.846-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='GLenn Beck'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='David Freddoso'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Acorn'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='election'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CNN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Senator Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><title type='text'>Mr. Acorn or Mr. Obama</title><content type='html'>Americans, we’ve just been slam dunked with a “rescue” or “bail out” or whatever – and are we going to roll over and play dead, bury our head in the sand or are we going to put a stop to a “wayward” government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parents, grandparents and concerned citizens are you going to let the news media , special interest groups, lobbyists and foreigners select our next president? Tell "Chicken Little" the acorns are falling - how many thousands for acorns?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what’s done is done but two slam dunks (Bail Out &amp;amp; Obama) in one month will be more than a plateful ! For those who are planning to vote for Senator Obama, step back and rethink your decision.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you really prepared to vote for a leader, whos past and present actions get conveniently relegated to the ancient history shelves? For your children and country do your homework.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let the Democratic leaders honestly and with integrity supply the missing pieces that Mr. Obama has refused to let America see. You know there are 93 Democratic leaders out there, who are starting to worry about their Presidential Elect and obviously they are more concerned with their country than Mr. Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A good question to ask the Democratic camp is how in the world they found Mr.Obama, why would they choose a leader without a good senate track record in Illinois or Washington?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Didn’t they find it strange that this man exaggerates and hallucinates about his leadership abilities, that he has changed his position more than most people change their underwear in his campaign against Hillary Clinton and John McCain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why did the Democratic party allow this person to run for the Democratic Presidency? Probably his financial backing from the outsiders (whoever they are) influenced some of the “Elite,” but there are many Democrats who aren’t enthusiastic about his platform and the way he’s handled his campaigns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are four inquiries to ask your senators or members of the Democratic party:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.Why is FEC having problems with Mr. Obama about his campaign monies – if there’s nothing to hide than give the FEC the correct information and clear his name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.Who came first “the Acorns or Mr. Obama?” Why is Mr. Obama attached at the him with the "Acorns?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.Where is Mr. Obama’s Illinois Senate record, his employee record during his “Community Service” years (who were his clients, what organizations did he support and represent in the court of law?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.What about his past and recent history showing obvious connections to Reverend Wright, the bobbsie twins (Gazan Brothers), Tony Rezko and their business relationship, Madeleine Talbot, Rashid Khalidi, William C. Ayers, Robert Malley and the list goes on…. Ask FEC for specifics on their recent inquiries into Obama’s campaign monies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.Challenge the Democratic Camp – ask them for specifics on his past history starting with Columbia University, Senate voting history, his Illinois Senate history, his associations and connections with some pretty questionable people in foreign countries. What is the "Born Alive Infants Protection Act?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get straight answers and verification - don't settle for political propaganda and don't forget to ask about his association with the "Acorn Group."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who want to conveniently sweep Senator Obama’s political history under the rug, Mr. Acorn, excuse me Senator Obama can run, but not hide his past from America for long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check out David Freddoso’s book “The Case Against Barack Obama” just take a few minutes to read the part “Born Alive Infants Protection Act.” Study the Clinton/Obama campaign – check out what Hillary and her supporters had to say about Barack Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to get an accurate and quick update on Barack – go to Glenn Beck @ CNN.com and ask Glenn for the real scoop on this man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who want to conveniently sweep Senator Obama’s political history under the rug, please remember your children and your country. If you’re content to accept him with a “what you see is what you get “ attitude – then hold onto your hat, money and freedom because the next four years will be the ride of your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Always, Annie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-3584640690188462212?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/3584640690188462212/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=3584640690188462212' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/3584640690188462212'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/3584640690188462212'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/10/mr-acorn-or-mr-obama.html' title='Mr. Acorn or Mr. Obama'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-2270137661940836863</id><published>2008-10-01T12:13:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-01T12:15:13.953-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Senator McCain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama&apos;s friends'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='election'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sarah Palin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CNN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='change'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Senator Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politics'/><title type='text'>Change Change Change Mr. Obama</title><content type='html'>It appears that there’s definitely a “rat” in America’s Icebox or should I redefine that to “rats” in the icebox.  America has once again slumped into a mode of complacency by letting the News Media, special interest groups, lobbyists and “bad guys” make one of the most important decisions of their lives. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans are using their lack of time, as a reason for bad decisions or no decisions.  We can be sure if we continue in this mode the cookie will not only crumble, but disintegrate at their feet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just remember when you’re watching news, “what you see – isn’t necessarily what you get!”  The Presidential Campaign shouldn’t be categorized as a lottery – don’t play the numbers this time or dream or fantasize. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sitting back doing nothing isn’t a feasible answer, it's time to do our homework, quit buying gossip, and relentlessly find the real fact and the real story.  Speaking of stories, this grandmother has one to tell!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Presidential Elections are being controlled by a select group of people, whose priorities have gone south – the News Media should not just be ashamed of their activities, they should realize that their inability to tell the “real story” will harm the American populace. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If they want to be true leaders and be an intricate part of working America, than they need to get over their political, power driven activities.  The media needs to relinquish their bashing pedestals and spend their time telling us where Senator Obama came from, who’s financing him, who is really grooming him and programming him for the position of America’s leader. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get off the adrenalin kick that McCain and Palin are naïve, unintelligent people who can’t go to the potty without assistance.  Get over the jealous Palin and McCain rage – take time to get to know these two candidates, really know them.  Chuck the political gossip out the door and help America make one of the biggest and most important decisions of their lifetime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is CNN haphazardly trying to cram Obama down our throats – it isn’t conviction or honesty on their part, it has to do with money once again and America has had their fill of everyone’s political escapade.  Theatrics isn’t in for 2008!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talk to us about Senator Obama and address the many crucial issues that he and his camp keep throwing under the rugs.  Where did this supposedly “lowly” man from a poverty stricken family gain his wealth during his hazy tour as a community leader?  When, where and how did he acquire an astronomical amount of monies?  He doesn’t exactly live in a shack, you know! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why did he spend years under the guidance and influence of Rick Warren, T.D. Jakes and Rev. Wright and than make a feeble, last minute attempt to ditch them when he realized America was starting to question his activities.  Why wouldn’t America have questions when he seemed to be attached at the hip with activists like Wallis and Tony Campolo?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How did a poor boy that was barely known at Columbia University make the awesome jump to “Harvard?”  Where did he really go and who was lining his pockets with gold when he kissed Harvard good bye? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe he actually lived the American dream and accumulated his wealth from hard work – I don’t think so, because he’s shoved the real story under the rug again.  If he has nothing to hide than why does he keep trying to sell us all a pot full of garbage? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who were his bosses during his community service?  Who paid his way to Harvard?  Who groomed him for his wantiby President of the US – in other words will the real Obama please stand up?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When his records got lost from the State Senate – he tried to pawn this off to America due to his inability to keep books and files.  Hey, this is an attorney, a Harvard graduate and he wants us to swallow this story? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama’s got one thing right – that is his uncanny ability to “change.”  He flips flops around from issue to issue and the News Media gives us one more overdose of propaganda and biased information.  Where has your professionalism and sense of allegiance to your country gone?  Think about this…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did Mr. Obama have another lapse in memory?  When Hillary and many others questioned his record, he weaseled out of the predicament by suggesting a lowly state senator doesn’t really have a schedule and that’s why all of his great works can’t be found. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Than, his temper overtook him and we hear a trite remark that he wasn’t planning on creating the Barack Obama State Senate Library.  “Those are pretty incriminating by a man who keeps referring to his past record.”  Obama has his little State Senate Library stashed somewhere – you can fool the people some of the time Mr. Obama, but not all of the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His next strategy was to insist that Hillary come forward with her records, but Mr. Obama not only refused to let America see his records – he mumbled something about them being lost, or does he mean shredded – considering his absenteeism during his tour in the Illinois Senate, one must wonder when the leadership abilities and strengths kicked in….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Nope it wasn’t during his tour in the US SENATE either – he continued trying to snow everyone by resting on his laurels and abilities to deliver eloquent speeches plum full of rhetoric. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was usually a no-show in the senate or he just loved the “present” system which basically said, I’m here, but to save my fanny I can’t make a decision and vote.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So he did the usual – just straddled the fence in an attempt to keep his record “lily white.”  That didn’t work very well – check his record while he served in the US SENATE. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, Hillary Clinton has a huge file stored at the National archives – of course Hillary would have more, but can you really believe that Senator Obama wouldn’t have any after serving all those years in the Illinois Senate?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now we’ve progressed to a point in this story that shows that one thing in his campaign is true “CHANGE.”  No one in history during a Presidential Campaign has “Changed” so erratically. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who is this man touting leadership abilities, pretending to care about Americans, the lower class, the American Indian, the Hispanic etc. – please refer to his voting record during his interim as Illinois Senator and US Senator.  This man has left an obvious paper trail, if you’ll but follow it! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One more trail he’s swept under the rug one again is his campaign money – his buddies mastered the Internet system and there have been many discrepancies in his record keeping here too!  If some intelligent Americans take time out before the election to investigate this situation – I predict America will be in for one more “Obama Shock Wave!”  Change, Change, Change Senator Obama…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Change in alliance to friends, actually sits on the fence waiting to see the outcome of the “Bail Out,” changes his position on abortion, changes his ideas on foreign policy, changes his idea on taxes and probably will want Hillary and Bill to bail him out after the VP Debate.  But, what’s one more change among friends?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You’d better bet in a few days, you’re going to see Obama make some more drastic changes.  93 Democrats didn’t jump on Obama, Pelosi and Dean bandwagon – that tells us the whole story about Obama politics in Washington.  Many of our fellow American men and women holding office are starting to live John McCain’s mission statement – “COUNTRY COMES FIRST.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Give me a real man or woman who can admit if a mistake has been made, places “Country” first and does whatever it takes to restore America to a solid foundation even if it jeopardizes his or her campaign. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who have spent all of their time bashing Sarah Palin need to look take a long hard look at Joe Bidden – now there’s a man of many words and very few positive actions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you really think Joe places country first?  Sarah is one of us and has shown the world that she cares about America – quit buying the media crap and see what Sarah accomplished as Governor of Alaska.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In closing, America can sit back on their haunches, bury their heads in the sand or be responsible enough to search out the truth, the whole story about our President and VP Elects. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are responsible for many of the problems – it’s not just our government.  Our inability to budget, our credit card frenzy, debt and concentration on materialism has to be considered too!   As a country, we can change and restore our Nation – one individual at a time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Always,&lt;br /&gt;Annie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-2270137661940836863?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/2270137661940836863/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=2270137661940836863' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/2270137661940836863'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/2270137661940836863'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/10/change-change-change-mr-obama.html' title='Change Change Change Mr. Obama'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-5985868015664011134</id><published>2008-09-30T13:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-30T13:59:46.612-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Senator McCain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Senator Bidden'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jack Cafferty'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='V P Debates'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sarah Palin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Senator Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vice Pres'/><title type='text'>Cafferty Can't Stand the Heat</title><content type='html'>Cafferty is on his soapbox again jabbing and jeering at Sarah, hey Jack Sarah wants all the things that Americans want out here in the real world.  Basically she said the “bail out” must benefit Americans and must include tax relief, trade opportunities, improve health care, shore up the economy; she flat doesn’t agree that the shysters should live happily ever after.  Guess you don’t like her glasses, outstanding personality or is it the feminine part you hate? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you said, Jack you a 65 year man who likes to hear himself talk; surely you have something better to give your country than a woman bashing on National TV.  Mr. Cafferty doesn’t like Sarah and he’s not really worried about her becoming President – he’s afraid that the Thursday night debate with our VP Elects will expose the Democrats weak platform, because Biden may just let the cat out of the bag.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe he should get a life, return to old fashioned journalism, quit politicking and get back to the basics – just give America the real story without bias, prejudice or propaganda.  An intelligent man like yourself could quit playing politics and return to the “real story,” the truth would be nice for a change, Jack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sarah Palin looks forward to the debate Thursday night with Senator Bidden. Before you jump on your couch to listen to one of the “biggest” debates in our history,  check Sarah’s political record out for yourself. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The “Bridge to Nowhere” was passed in 2005 and Biden and Obama voted for it – Sarah wasn’t even running for Governor yet.  Sarah did make an executive decision and said, “No thank you” on the Bridge to Nowhere. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you’re wanting the truth, than write a letter to Council For Citizens Against Government Waste, 1301 Connecticut Ave., NW. Suite 400, Washington DC 20036 or call them at 202-467-5300 and better yet go to:  &lt;a title="E-mail lpaige@cagw.org" href="mailto:lpaige@cagw.org"&gt;lpaige@cagw.org&lt;/a&gt;.  request a copy of the entire history on the bridge. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Monegan – she appointed him and had the right to dismiss him; he was unable to work within a reasonable budget (liked the good life to much), so he sneaked behind his superior’s back and asked Washington for more money. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey, this is very much a parallel to the Obama Camp – they didn’t exactly go behind closed doors to remove Hillary; they just smacked her hands and gave her a new job description.  Oh well, it’s okay if Obama makes a smart political move or was it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She does have a pregnant teen age daughter, so does 750,000 other families; Sarah and Todd will continue loving and supporting this young teenage girl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let’s put all the “crap’ to rest about her lack of experience – go to&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://dwb.adn.com/news/alaska/story/9090623p-9006670c.html"&gt;adn.com  alaska : Palin cuts $231 million from capital budget&lt;/a&gt;  and you’ll find out that this Alaskan Governor understand the importance of working for Americans and her country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steve Quinn from The Associated Press covered Sarah Palin’s press conference when she unveiled the new budget.  She cut 231 million from the Capital Budget – looks like the “Mavericks” can clean up Washington.  Because a good leader has to have a great track record!&lt;br /&gt;Palin said at a news conference in her Anchorage office that the cuts should send a message to lawmakers for next year's budget considerations. "We need to live within our means,"&lt;br /&gt; Palin said. "Even though we have a surplus, that doesn't warrant a spending spree on an unlimited credit card. Now is the time to save for the future."  Reported by: Steve Quinn, The Associated Press, Published June 29, 2007.  Modified June 30, 2007.&lt;br /&gt;For weeks the Democratic have dropped bombs on the Presidential VP elect and now Mr. Axelrod (Obama’s Chief Strategist) is one of the first to say that Sarah Palin is very capable and a skilled politician.  Mr. Wade (Biden spokesperson) called Sarah a”leviathan of forensics” and included that she has a history of being unbeaten in debates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Axelrod, although attached at the hip with Senator Obama approaches Sarah Palin as one who is a tough adversary.  He knows she won her Governship of Alaska against mighty opponents - his strategy is to treat Sarah with the respect she deserves. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two of Senator Obama’s strongest allies have their work cut out for them and they know it.  Sarah isn’t going to go away and she will be anxiously awaiting her debate with Joe Biden.  In fact they’ve taken Senator Biden far far away to be prepped – wonder if that includes tape?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn’t it funny that with all the bashing, ugly humor and cut throat tactics used against Sarah Obama that the Democratic Camp are shaking in their shoes about the VP debate this week.  Mr. Axelrod and Mr.Wade realize that “playing politics” isn’t going to cut it in the last hour with Sarah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senator McCain would be wise if he quit trying to teach Sarah the art of politics – she isn’t a politician, doesn’t want that job and is happy not being an insider in Washington.  America needs real people like Sarah to step in and clean up the special interest groups, lobbyists and the “bad guys.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She’s real, authentic and an awesome asset to McCain’s camp and she doesn’t need to be pre programmed – she loves her country, her family and has the executive expertise that our government needs at this time.  Way to go Sarah – see you Thursday night at the VP Debate. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Always, Annie&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-5985868015664011134?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/5985868015664011134/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=5985868015664011134' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/5985868015664011134'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/5985868015664011134'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/09/cafferty-cant-stand-heat.html' title='Cafferty Can&apos;t Stand the Heat'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927232849501941603.post-7564971671147395507</id><published>2008-09-29T10:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-29T10:28:09.004-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='VP debate'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='democrats'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bill Clinton'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rothchild'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hillary Clinton'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Palin'/><title type='text'>McCain Leads - Obama Changes</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did Senator Biden throw too many grenades during his campaign speeches?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;General Colin Powell, A great man and leader defined a leader in this way…."Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate, and doubt to offer a solution everybody can understand."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senator Obama doesn’t fit this mold because his ability to simplify doesn’t exist and his solutions are dependent on the American people to pull a rabbit out of the hat. He believes we’ve been slouching, need to work harder and share more of our money and time. Mr. Obama, you just don’t get it – there isn’t a rabbit and we’re struggling 24/7 to keep afloat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Latest on the rumor mill . . . Democrats may just show Americans one more change – this isn’t etched in stone, but it’s evident that something new is a brew in the Democratic Camp. Stay tuned to all the major news stations because this may make headlines, if in fact it occurs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Biden is in over his head with his campaign speeches and some very prominent Democrats along with professional women, single mothers and concerned citizens are quietly pitching their tent in Senator McCain’s Camp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even Mr. Axelrod and Mr. Wade are more than a little concerned about the VP debate – they see Sarah Palin as a skilled opponent and strategist. Both of these men feel Sarah has saved the best to last and they’re warning Senator Biden that his plate is on overload at this time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a very powerful lady has transitioned from the Democratic camp to support Senator McCain. Lynn was one of the most powerful Hillary Rodham Clinton fundraisers and left her party due to the “Big Three,” Obama, Pelosi and Dean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will Senator Obama make one more change as he pounds the campaign trail? Will Hillary step into Biden’s shoes after the VP debate October 2, 2008? It’s becoming very apparent that Senator Obama’s camp is struggling with the VP choice – will they force Senator Obama’s hand?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this occurs, we must accept this “political move” at face value. It would appear that Senator Clinton, like Senator Obama are still struggling with the Republican VP nominee (Sarah Palin.) Hillary and Bill will do whatever is necessary to insure that Hillary will run for President once again in 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Change” is the keyword in the Democratic Camp and their idea of change doesn’t have anything to do with their country and Americans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senator Obama can’t get his Democratic Platform stabilized, because someone forgot the rails and they keep jumping from one track to the other in their campaign speeches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Professional women, stay at home mothers and many who were undecided are leaning heavily toward the two “mavericks.” Americans are becoming uneasy with a party that changes their position as often as they change their underwear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senator Obama smeared Hillary Clinton in his campaign for Democratic Presidential Candidate and now in a last ditch effort to “win” and I’m using that term loosely, he is begging Hillary and Bill to save his fanny!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will they use Hillary Rodham Clinton one more time until Election day rolls around?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The VP debate this week is crucial and the outcome will determine the next moves of each party. What heads will the Democrats roll? Will the big three keep Biden under wraps or replace him? What is Bill and Hillary’s next move? Did Sarah just sit back and quietly play chess with the News Media, Democrats and cut throats?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We’ll know all of these answers on the 5th of September.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As always, Annie&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6927232849501941603-7564971671147395507?l=annie-anniespad.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/feeds/7564971671147395507/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6927232849501941603&amp;postID=7564971671147395507' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/7564971671147395507'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6927232849501941603/posts/default/7564971671147395507'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://annie-anniespad.blogspot.com/2008/09/mccain-leads-obama-changes.html' title='McCain Leads - Obama Changes'/><author><name>Annie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17908500222155443018</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
