The Bloom is Off The Rose

The latest Washington Post/ABC poll numbers show that only 49% of Americans polled now believe that President Obama will make the right decisions for our country. That's down from 60% when the poll was taken at the 100 day mark of Obama's presidency.
You see elections have consequences and these are some of the consequences we are faced with for electing a president as grossly inexperienced and unqualified as Barack Obama. But none of that seemed to matter when all people were concerned about was making history and feeling good about themselves because they were electing our country's first black president, qualifications be damned!
The man barely served time in the Senate and accomplished virtually nothing before beginning his run for the presidency. Everyone loved how he spoke without ever listening to the words he was saying. He looked good, sounded good and it was chic to be an Obama supporter and at the time that's all that really mattered. By God he was all about "hope and change!" Well how's all that "hope and change" working out for everyone now?
The chickens have begun to come home to roost.
His inexperience showed early when several of his newest appointees were a disaster due to income tax issues. He then (along with his liberal cronies in Congress) forced a $787 billion dollar spending package down our throats before anyone knew what was happening and now we are going to be paying off the debt for decades to come. He made a total fool out of himself by saying Cambridge police "acted stupidly" in the Gates affair without knowing all of the facts. Not to mention his apologizing and cozying up to petty anti American dictators around the world in an attempt to heal old wounds.
On top of all of that he is now trying to jam a healthcare reform package down everyone's throat that virtually every poll taken shows the vast majority of Americans simply don't want!
Yes it appears the bloom is off the rose. Most Americans are now finding out what some of us knew all along. The man is an empty suit, a far left leaning liberal woefully unqualified to be President of the United States....and that's what shim sez....

What....No Beers at The White House?

An intersting story came to light this past weekend when it was revealed that eccentric rocker Bob Dylan was picked up and briefly detained by police in Long Branch New Jersey after they received a call that a strange looking man was wandering around the neighborhood in the rain. When the 24 year old police officer arrived and asked for ID he claimed that he had none but told her he was Bob Dylan. Since the officer obviously did not recognize him she told him to get in the car and she drove him to his hotel where ID was presented and he was released.
Interesting...rather than scream and make a scene he did what the officer told him and the situation was quickly resolved. The police were not foolishly accused of acting "stupidly" by the President, this wasn't put forth as a "teachable" moment for America and nobody got invited to the White House for a few beers. Nothing more than a 68 year old former legend being treated like a complete unknown....like a rolling stone....and that's what shim sez...

Does Healthcare Really Need A Major Overhaul?

As the healthcare debate rages on and President Obama and Congress plot on yet another way to take even more of our money, a few things are starting to become pretty clear. First of all just about every poll conducted shows that most Americans are AGAINST a major overhaul of the entire healthcare system.
Consider this. U.S. Census reports and a poll conducted by the Kaiser Foundation find that approximately 87% of Americans have some form of healthcare and the vast majority of them (89%) are happy with what they have. Of the 13% of the population that have no healthcare almost half of them claim that they CHOOSE not to have healthcare and pay out of pocket when illnesses or injury occur! That leaves approximately 6-7% of our population that wishes to have healthcare but do not. Now I ask you ..while the system isn't perfect and I'm sure some adjustments can (and should) be made, do we really need a massive multi billion dollar government run overhaul of the entire healthcare system to satisfy 6-7% of the population?
Let's look at this whole healthcare charade by Obama and Congressional Democrats and call it what it really is...more class warfare, and yet another multi billion dollar attempted money grab on the achievers, higher income earners and business owners in this country as they try to get them to foot the bill for a small percentage of people ...most of whom have never lifted a finger to help themselves or anyone else...and that's what shim sez.

"Not One Thin Dime"

Just as predicted right here the day after his address to the nation on February 24th (Good Speech...but Questions Remain) President Obama is about to have his "read my lips" moment. He guaranteed nobody earning less than $250,000 would have to pay a dime in new taxes to fund any of his programs. While intelligent people everywhere knew that wasn't possible because quite simply there aren't enough "rich" people out there to pay for all of this administrations wild spending... he emphasized the point by saying "not one thin dime."
This, along with the fallout from his idiotic statement about the Gates arrest and opposition to his healthcare plan should have him reeling a bit...that is unless the mainstream liberal media cover for him...Should be fun to watch...and that's what shim sez...
