Mr. President...You still Don't Get It

In an interview discussing the huge Democratic losses in the recent mid term elections President Obama said that it was the mishandling of politics and not his policies that saw fellow Dems suffer huge losses nationwide.
He then vowed to make his policies better understood to all Americans.
Um..with all due respect Mr. President the vast majority of Americans understood your policies and that's why they voted the way they did a week and a half ago.
They understood when you jammed a huge spending package down their throats just a few short months into your presidency, they understood your taking over General Motors and the auto industry,they understood when you villified the banking industry and blamed them and them alone for our financial meltdown.
Mr. President they even understood and came out strongly against you and your Democratic cronies in Congress taking over our Healthcare system and in typical liberal arrogance you did it anyway!
The American people are not stupid Mr. President...they understand you policies. They just don't agree with them!
The majority of Americans not only understand your policies but spoke loudly and clearly against them less than two weeks ago.
Winds of change are blowing in America Mr. President and they won't stop blowing until you are blown out of the White House in 2012. Hope and Change...that's what shim sez...

Thank A Veteran

Just a reminder that tomorrow is Veteran's Day. Veterans who served this great country are the reason we have the many freedoms we have today. While we no doubt have our problems we still live in the greatest country in the world. We have veterans to thank for it.
We still have a scant few remaining from WWI and the numbers are rapidly dwindling that risked their lives in the European and Pacific theaters of WWII.
Those along with the proud veterans of Korea, Viet Nam and right up through Iraq and Afghanistan deserve our deepest thanks and praise.
Many of us cross paths with veterans in our daily lives. Whether with a phone call or a friendly wave take time to say thanks tomorrow. They deserve it.
Thank a veteran.....that's what shim sez...

The Job is Not Finished

While the Republican Congressional landslide of this past week is certainly something to cheer and get excited about now is not the time to sit back and bask in the glow of victory. Yes we've taken back the House and closed the gap in the Senate and yes Republican Governors won their share of races this past week but there is still some very important unfinished business to take care of.
While all of the above are certainly reason to celebrate it's now time to focus on 2012. The job of taking our country back will not be complete until we have voted the most liberal, inexperienced, unqualified President in history out of the White House!
Let's make sure 2012 is the year that Barack Obama gets voted out and is allowed to work the talk show circuit on a full time basis. Come to think of it...I'm kinda liking this hope and change thing! Yes...We...Can...And that's what shim sez.

Big F_ _ _ing Deal

Earlier this week just after introducing President Obama to talk about the administrations latest money grab, the healthcare scam, Vice President Joe Biden could be heard "whispering" in the Presidents ear "this is a big f_ _ _ing deal."
It should be no surprise that the mainstream liberal media, virtual shills for Obama and company have reported very little about the incident. Apparently it isn't a big f_ _ _ing deal when a democratic vice president makes a ridiculous vulgar comment within earshot of a live microphone. Guess they are all writing it off as just "Joe being Joe."
Can you imagine the outrage and coverage this would have received if Dick Cheney or some other prominent republican would have been overheard uttering a comment like that?
It would have appeared prominently in every major newspaper in the country. Liberal hacks like Keith Olberman and Chris Mathews would have been crying foul and demanding an apology!
The arrogance of this administration, congressional democrats and all that support them is unbelievable! To all of you I say enjoy it now. Mid term elections are just seven months away. What happens then Mr. Vice President will be a REALLY BIG F_ _ _ing deal I assure you! And that's what shim sez...

He Put WHO In Charge??

With all of the attention that has been paid recently to President Obama and Congressional Dems latest money grab otherwise known as healthcare reform something happened that kind of flew under the radar. The President recently appointed liberal crony Senator Chris Dodd to head up the restructuring of federal financial regulations that would give the government the power to break up any firm that they deem a threat to the economy. Many have called it the biggest federal financial overhaul since the New Deal of Franklin Roosevelt.
Chris Dodd. The same Chris Dodd that stood as the head of the Senate Banking Committee in 2008 when banks were collapsing all around us helping to cause the biggest financial meltdown in decades! The same Chris Dodd that admitted to adding language to the $787 billion dollar spending plan that would allow AIG executives to keep their bonuses 24 hours after admitting he had nothing to do with adding the language! The same Chris Dodd who repeatedly refused to consider Bush administration requests to regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac after questions began to surface about their mortgage deals in 2005 and 2006.
Little wonder Dodd refused to act. It was later revealed that he along with Senator John Kerry and then Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were the biggest collectors of campaign contributions from Freddie and Fannie in the last 20 years!
Chris Dodd... facing increasingly tough odds in Connecticut he's done the smart thing and announced he will not seek re election in the upcoming mid terms. Hopefully other incumbent Dems like Harry Reid and others will do the same thing or be booted out via the ballot box in November.Yes....WE....CAN.....and that's what shim sez..

Another "Historic" Event

Yes...despite the wishes of the majority of the American people President Obama and Congressional Democrats participated in another "historic" event last night with the ram rodding...er.. passing of legislation to overhaul the American healthcare system.
After much eleventh hour wheeling and dealing to even get members of his own party to participate in his latest money grab and attack on business and wealth in this country the President and congressional Dems are celebrating their latest victory. The celebration is sure to be short lived however as mid term elections are just a little over seven months away....and that's what shim sez....

Finding New Targets

Since Scott Brown's stunning upset in Massachusetts ten days ago forced President Obama and liberal Democrats in Congress to put their version of Healthcare reform on the back burner they had to go out and find new targets for their liberal anti business, punish achievers, penalize wealth agenda.
They obviously found two to focus their wrath on as Dems in Congress attempted to cast doubt on Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's reappointment while the President stepped up his attack on the banking industry.
While the attempt to derail Bernancke's appointment failed it was coupled with the President's announcement to overhaul banking regulations. Those two stories managed to help send the stock market to a 658 point plunge since it's 15 month high of 10,725 on January 19...ironically the day of Brown's stunning upset.
While there were other factors that added to the plunge it's painfully obvious that Obama and liberal Dems just aren't happy unless they are attacking business and punishing the income earners in this country. However fear not....there is Hope and Change in the air! Mid term elections are just 10 months away.....And that's what shim sez...

The Wind is Picking Up

An unfriendly weather report to all Democrats and liberals across the country....that slight breeze that was reported here on November 4th after Republican gubernatorial victories in Virginia and New Jersey has been upgraded to a high wind warning....as in winds of change that is!
Republican Scott Brown's stunning victory in Massachusetts last night sent a clear message to liberals everywhere and to Washington in particular...America has stopped buying the garbage you are selling!
Brown's clear cut victory was a crushing blow to the latest Obama/Congress money and power grab..Healthcare reform. We can only hope that it's a sign of more changes to come.
With the three aforementioned elections combined with the forced retirement of Chris Dodd and Harry Reid's growing unpopularity in Nevada we can only hope that the likes of Obama, Pelosi, Barney Frank and company fall victims to the next strong winds that blow through Washington...mid term elections coming up in November. Now that's what I call "Hope and Change"...and that's what shim sez.

How The Mighty Have Fallen

Just one short year ago shouts of "Yes We Can" and "Hope and Change" rang across America. Our bright new President was in charge, Democrats held an overwhelming majority in Congress, George Bush was being blamed for anything and everything that went wrong, and liberal pundits were declaring the Republican party dead and bankrupt of ideas.
Early on in the Obama presidency a $787 billion dollar spending plan was ram rodded through Congress.."No time to think about it, we need to get this done to save America" was the theme.
Obama and Congress took over the auto industry, villified the financial industry and set out to over take the healthcare industry.....then a funny thing happened.
Rather than swoon at his every word and marvel at his numerous talk show appearances Americans actually started LISTENING to what he was saying...and they stopped buying it!
The results have been astounding. Healthcare reform is going much slower than planned (perhaps it's because all polls show the vast majority of Americans were against an overhaul of our healthcare system to begin with.)
Obama also embarrassed himself in the Coppenhagen Olympic debacle taking some of the shine off of his celebrity reputation. In addition Democrats lost two key governors races in New Jersey and Virginia, and liberal Senate supporters Harry Reid and Chris Dodd are in big trouble in Nevada and Connecticut, (with Dodd having announced his retirement) putting those seats up for grabs for the first time in years. When you add to the mix that his wishy/washy "surge with a timetable" game plan for Afghanistan angered both liberals and conservatives alike it's easy to see why the President is heading into his second term with only a 46% approval rating..the lowest rating for a President at that juncture since they started tracking it!
On top of all of this healthcare reform will suffer it's biggest blow yet in a few days when the previously unthinkable happens and Republican Scott Brown wins the special election for Ted Kennedy's seat in Massachusetts..a seat Democrats have held for 60 years and more importantly taking away the Dems magic 60th vote in the Senate.
Wow! All of this and mid term elections are still 10 months away..."YES...WE...CAN!"...and that's what shim sez...
