Rep. Mike Pence Has It Exactly Correct - Congress, GET YOUR FISCAL HOUSE IN ORDER!!

NOT BY SPENDING MORE!!!  DAMN IT,  the American people DO NOT WANT MORE SPENDING, how dense are you Democrats in Congress?!?!?!?  How can you even DARE to contemplate raising the debt ceiling another $1.9 TRILLION dollars at this critical time in America?  CONGRESS NEEDS TO CUT SPENDING, GET THE HELL OUT OF MY PERSONAL LIFE, LEAVE MY FREEDOMS ALONE, AND PAY OFF OUR DEBT ASAP!!!  THIS IS RIDICULOUS!

Pence: Why is new deficit commission barred from recommending spending cuts?

An Honest Assessment of President George W. Bush's Presidency

You won't find many people admitting these things, but they are all true.  It will take time for people to see just how good President Bush was for the world and for America.  What people won't remember are the childish, socialist, Marxist Democrats who constantly kicked President Bush in the shins throughout his presidency, and especially so at crucial times in world events.  But now we have President Barak Hussien Obama (one of the socialist, Marxist Democrats who constantly cheered for President bush to fail, using it to propel him to political victory) running the country...and running it into the GROUND! 

The only reason people will remember the time period after President George W. Bush will be to judge just how bad an error America made when electing a completely inexperienced and totally unqualified Senator Barak Hussien Obama to the Presidency. In the long run it will be the astounding difference between a freedom loving free-market capitalists' success versus a popular Marxist socialists' failure on a laundry list of world and domestic issues. 

George W Bush: winning the war on terror - Telegraph

On much of the world stage, President Bush has been widely reviled as one of the worst U.S. leaders of modern times, and it is hard to think of an American president who has received a worse press since Richard Nixon.

To his critics, who are legion on both sides of the Atlantic, the war in Iraq has been a monumental disaster, at a cost of more than 4,000 American lives and at least $500 billion. They see the war on terror, with the notorious Guantanamo prison camp as its symbol, as a catalyst for radicalizing tens of millions of Muslims that has made the United States a pariah in the Middle East.

The war in Afghanistan, they argue, is going badly in the face of a resurgent Taliban, the cost of Washington pouring most of its resources into Iraq. Bush, the theory goes, failed to keep his eye on the ball, weakening the fight against al-Qaeda through his supposed obsession with Iraq. He is also accused of undermining America's standing in the world, adopting a unilateralist foreign policy and refusing to work with its Allies.

Some of the criticism of Bush's foreign policy is fair. The early stages of the occupation of Iraq were poorly handled and there was a distinct lack of post-war planning. America's public diplomacy efforts have been poor or even non-existent, with little serious attempt to combat the stunning rise of anti-Americanism. More recently, Washington's failure to stand up more aggressively to Moscow after its invasion of Georgia projected weakness and indecision.

Much of the condemnation of his policies though is driven by a venomous hatred of Bush's personality and leadership style, rather than an objective assessment of his achievements. Ten or twenty years from now, historians will view Bush's actions on the world stage in a more favourable light. America's 43rd president did after all directly liberate more people (over 60 million) from tyranny than any leader since Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Widely seen as his biggest foreign policy error, the decision to invade Iraq could ultimately prove to have been a masterstroke. Today the world is witnessing the birth of the first truly democratic state in the Middle East outside of Israel. Over eight million voted in Iraq's parliamentary elections in 2005, and the region's first free Muslim society may become a reality. Iraq might not be Turkey, but it is a powerful demonstration that freedom can flourish in the embers of the most brutal and barbaric of dictatorships.

The success of the surge in Iraq will go down in history as a turning point in the war against al-Qaeda. The stunning defeat of the insurgency was a major blow both militarily and psychologically for the terror network. The West's most feared enemy suffered thousands of losses in Iraq, including many of their most senior commanders, such as Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and Abu Qaswarah. It was the most successful counter-insurgency operation anywhere in the world since the British victory in Malaya in 1960.

The broader war against Islamist terrorism has also been a success. There has not been a single terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11, and for all the global condemnation of pre-emptive strikes, Guantanamo and the use of rendition against terror suspects, the fact remains that Bush's aggressive strategy actually worked.

Significantly, there have been no successful terrorist attacks in Europe since the July 2005 London bombings, in large part due to the cooperation between U.S., British and other Western intelligence agencies. American intelligence has proved vital in helping prevent an array of planned terror attacks in the UK, a striking demonstration of the value to Britain of its close ties to Washington.

President Bush, in contrast to both his father, George H.W. Bush, and Bill Clinton before him, had a crystal clear, instinctive understanding of the importance of the Anglo-American Special Relationship. Tony Blair may well have been labeled Bush's "poodle" over his support for the war in Iraq, but his partnership with George W. Bush marked the high point of the Anglo-American alliance since the heady days of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan.

The decision by Bush, with Blair's support, to sweep the Taliban out of Afghanistan was a brilliant move, one that not all U.S. presidents would have taken. A weaker leader would have gone to the United Nations Security Council and sought a negotiated settlement with Kabul. It was a risky gambit that was vindicated by a stunning military victory in the space of a month, with a small number of U.S. ground forces involved.

Bush also made a firm commitment to defending the fledgling Afghan government, and succeeded in building a 41-nation NATO-led coalition. The notion that the resurgence of the Taliban is America's failure is nonsense. The U.S. has more than 30,000 troops in the country under U.S. or NATO command, making up over half of all Allied forces there. Continental European allies have simply failed to step up to the plate with more troops, with almost the entire war-fighting burden placed on the U.S., UK and other English-speaking countries. Afghanistan is not a failure of American leadership, it is a damning indictment of an increasingly pacifist Europe that simply will not fight.

President Bush also recognized the importance of re-shaping the NATO alliance for the 21st Century, backing an ambitious program of NATO expansion, culminating in the addition of seven new members in 2004. He also had the foresight to support the development of a missile defence system in Europe, successfully negotiating deals with both Poland and the Czech Republic. Bush was right to back the eventual inclusion of Georgia and Ukraine in NATO, and both would be well on their way to membership today were it not for the feckless decision of France and Germany to side with Russia in blocking their path to entry.

Bush began his presidency primarily as a domestic leader. He ends it as a war leader who has left a huge imprint internationally. His greatest legacy, the global war against Islamist terror, has left the world a safer place, and his decision to project global power and military might against America's enemies has made it harder for Islamist terrorists to strike against London, Paris or Berlin.

Bush's decision to remove Saddam Hussein from power will make it less likely that rogue regimes, Iran and North Korea included, will seek to militarily challenge American power. The memory of the invasion of Iraq and the unequivocal message that sent is by far the most effective deterrent to Tehran developing a nuclear weapon.

If superpowers do not demonstrate an ability and a willingness to wield power (as Britain did on numerous occasions at the height of the Empire) their hegemony will be increasingly challenged. President Bush exercised U.S. military power to stunning effect in both Iraq and Afghanistan, an important reminder that America was still a force to be reckoned with after the 1990s humiliation of Somalia and the half-hearted missile strikes against Bin Laden in Sudan. In an age of growing threats and challenges, the projection of hard power matters, and America's next president would be wise to take heed.

Couldn't Have Said It Any Better Myself - Why Obama is FAILING as President of the U.S.A

He's Done Everything Wrong - The Daily Beast

Obama punted on the economy and reversed the fortunes of the Democrats in 365 days.

He’s misjudged the character of the country in his whole approach. There’s the saying, “It’s the economy, stupid.” He didn’t get it. He was determined somehow or other to adopt a whole new agenda. He didn’t address the main issue.

This health-care plan is going to be a fiscal disaster for the country. Most of the country wanted to deal with costs, not expansion of coverage. This is going to raise costs dramatically.

In the campaign, he said he would change politics as usual. He did change them. It’s now worse than it was. I’ve now seen the kind of buying off of politicians that I’ve never seen before. It’s politically corrupt and it’s starting at the top. It’s revolting.

This article was excellent.  It laid bare the issues people are having with the Obama Administration.  This administration is so radical and sooooo left wing, sooo socialist, soo Marxist, it is everything Americans HATE about the rest of the world.  Yet here we are with a Socialist, Marxist, radical spending, deficit exploding baffoon for a President, all at a time of great exceptional importance to the American economy and American foreign policy. 

He’s improved America’s image in the world. He absolutely did. But you have to translate that into something. Let me tell you what a major leader said to me recently. “We are convinced,” he said, “that he is not strong enough to confront his enemy. We are concerned,” he said “that he is not strong to support his friends.”

The political leadership of the world is very, very dismayed. He better turn it around. The Democrats are going to get killed in this election. Jesus, looks what’s happening in Massachusetts.

It’s really interesting because he had brilliant, brilliant political instincts during the campaign. I don’t know what has happened to them. His appointments present somebody who has a lot to learn about how government works. He better get some very talented businesspeople who know how to implement things. It’s unbelievable. Everybody says so. You can’t believe how dismayed people are. That’s why he’s plunging in the polls.

I could quote that entire article as a display of everything wrong with the Obama Administration, but you'll just have to read it here at the Daily Beast.

The Democrats’ Job Standard

Posted by: Research
After
Attacking Bush During Periods Of Job Growth, And Pledging Their
Stimulus Would Create Millions Of Jobs, Where’s The Dems’ Outrage?

RNC
CHAIRMAN MICHAEL STEELE: “For close to a full year the American people
have been forced to watch and in many cases bear the burden of our ever
increasing national unemployment rate which unfortunately remained in
the double digits throughout the month of December. More than 85,000
Americans lost their jobs in the month of December, meaning more than
2.8 million Americans have lost their jobs since the stimulus passed,
and the national unemployment rate remains at 10 percent. The American
economy is a powerful and amazingly resilient system that will always
naturally return to balance because of the determination and unique
ingenuity of the American worker. But President Obama’s singular focus
on enacting his government-run liberal policies are single handily
preventing this return. It’s time for President Obama to heed the
recent words of Democrat Senator Ben Nelson and finally do what he
should have been doing over the past year – put his full and undivided
attention on fixing our economy.”

LEADING DEMS ATTACKED BUSH WHEN MILLIONS OF JOBS WERE BEING CREATED …

In 2003, Over 87,000 Jobs Were Created. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/6/10)


* But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) Criticized 2003 Job Creation As
“Far From Enough.” “The slight increase in jobs last month is wonderful
news for 57,000 Americans. But the 2.1 million Americans who have been
actively looking for work for more than two years … know that it is far
from enough …” (Rep. Nancy Pelosi, “Pelosi: ‘Slight Jobs Increase Far
From Enough -- We Must Do More to Create Jobs and Growth,’” Press
Release, 10/3/03)

In 2004, Over 2 Million Jobs Were Created. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/6/10)


* But In 2004, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) Claimed Bush “Created A Climate
… Where The Number of Jobs Is Not Growing.” “This President has created
a climate in this country where the number of jobs is not growing. It
did not have to be that way.” (Sen. Dick Durbin, Congressional Record,
10/08/04, p. S10764)

In 2005, Over 2.5 Million Jobs Were Created. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/6/10)


* But Pelosi Called 2005 Job Creation Numbers “Anemic.” “Today’s anemic
jobs numbers confirm that President Bush has still failed to create a
single new private-sector job since he became President.” (Rep. Nancy
Pelosi, “Pelosi: ‘Today’s Anemic Jobs Numbers Confirm the
Administration Has Failed to Create a Single New Private-Sector Job,’”
Press Release, 6/3/05)

In 2006, Over 2.1 Million Jobs Were Created. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/6/10)


* But Pelosi Claimed Bush Policies “Favored The Privileged Few At The
Expense Of America’s Working Families.” (Rep. Nancy Pelosi, “Democrats
Will Restore the Economic Security of America’s Working Families,”
Press Release, 9/22/06)

By 2007, 5.7 Million Jobs Had Been Created Under Bush. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/6/10)


* But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) Claimed Bush Had
“Shameful History Of Losing American Jobs.” (Sen. Harry Reid, “Reid: As
Unemployment Reaches Two-year High, American Jobs Are The Latest
Casualty Of Bush’s Failed Economic Policies,” Press Release, 1/4/08)

THEN PROMISED THEIR $787 BILLION STIMULUS WOULD CREATE MILLIONS OF JOBS

In
February, Obama Signed $787 Billion Stimulus Bill, Claiming It Would
“Fix The Economy.” “President Obama on Tuesday signed the $787 billion
stimulus package ... ‘We have begun the essential work of keeping the
American dream alive in our time,’ Obama said, calling the legislation
‘the beginning of the end’ of what needed to be done to fix the
economy.” (Michael A. Fletcher, “Obama Leaves D.C. To Sign Stimulus
Bill,” The Washington Post, 2/18/09)

And Obama Pledged That
Stimulus Would Create 3.5 Million Jobs By End Of 2010. “[W]hat makes
this recovery plan so important is not just that it will create or save
3.5 million jobs over the next two years ...” (President Barack Obama,
Remarks At The Signing Of The American Recovery And Reinvestment Act,
Denver, CO, 2/17/09)

SO DEMS NEED TO CREATE 6.3 MILLION JOBS IN 2010 TO MEET THEIR OWN STANDARD, A LEVEL OF JOB GROWTH THAT HAS NEVER BEEN ACHIEVED

2.8
MILLION Jobs Lost Since Obama’s Signed His $787 Billion Stimulus In
February 2009. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed
12/10/09)

* Including 85,000 More Jobs Lost Last Month. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/8/09)

In
Addition To 3.5 MILLION Jobs Obama Promised Would Be Created By His
$787 Billion Stimulus By December 2010. (President Barack Obama,
Remarks At The Signing Of The American Recovery And Reinvestment Act,
Denver, CO, 2/17/09)

That Equals 6.3 MILLION Jobs Dems Need To
Create This Year Alone To Declare Economic Success, A Level Of Job
Growth That Has Never Been Achieved in American History. (U.S. Bureau
of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/6/10)

* Because In
1946, 4.3 MILLION Jobs Were Created, Largest Job In A Single Calendar
Year In American History. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics,
www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/6/10)

KNOWING AMERICANS WILL JUDGE THEM ON JOB CREATION, AT LEAST ONE DEM IS OUTRAGED OVER SQUANDERED 2009

Obama
Says “The Yardstick Should Be … Am I Creating These Jobs?” (Sam Stein,
“Obama: Judge Me On The Jobs I Create,” The Huffington Post, 12/15/08)


* Pelosi: “Jobs, Jobs, Jobs … We Will Measure Our Success In That Way;
And Hopefully The American People Will, Too, In The Next Election.”
(Greg Sargent, “Pelosi: Judge Dems’ Success On Whether We Create ‘Jobs,
Jobs, Jobs,’” “The Plum Line” Blog, 12/3/09)

DGA Chairman, Gov.
Jack Markell (D-DE), Says “Burden Of Proof” On Dems To Show That
They’re Creating Jobs. “When you've got as many people unemployed in
the country as you do, it's understandable that folks will be looking
to their leaders to do everything possible to create jobs. As
Democrats, there's a burden of proof here.” (Peter Wallsten and Naftali
Bendavid, “Departures Shake Democrats,” The Wall Street Journal, 1/7/09)


* But Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) Says Obama Made A Mistake In Pushing
Health Care, And Should Have Focused On Jobs. “I think it was a mistake
to take health care on as opposed to continuing to spend the time on
the economy… I would have preferred not to be dealing with health care
in the midst of everything else, and I think working on the economy
would have been a wiser move …” (Chris Zavadil, “Nelson: We Should Have
Waited On Health Care,” The Fremont Tribune, 1/6/10)
* And Obama’s
Liberal Agenda Preventing Small Businesses From Creating Jobs, “Could
Impede An Economic Recovery.” “But a health-care overhaul grinding
through Congress could bring unknown new obligations to insure
employees. Bush-era tax cuts are set to end next year, and their fate
is unclear. Legislation aimed at tackling climate change might raise
businesses’ energy costs. … Many companies say they have responded by
freezing hiring, cutting benefits and delaying expansion plans. With at
least 60% of job growth historically coming out of the small-business
sector, according to the government’s Small Business Administration,
that kind of inertia could impede an economic recovery.” (Gary Fields,
“Political Uncertainty Puts Freeze on Small Businesses,” The Wall
Street Journal, 10/28/09)
