Did you realize that President Obama probably signed his stimulus package at the same desk where President Clinton got his package stimulated?

“Who will help me plant my wheat?” asked the little red hen.

“Not  I,” said the cow.

“Not I,” said the duck.

“Not I,” said the pig.

“Not  I,” said the goose.

“Then I will do it by  myself,” She planted her crop, and the wheat grew and  ripened.

“Who will help me reap my wheat?” asked  the little red hen.

“Not I,” said the  duck..

“Out of my classification,” said the pig.

“I’d lose my seniority,” said the cow.

“I’d lose my unemployment compensation,” said the  goose.

“Then I will do it by myself,” said the  little red hen, and so she did.

“Who will help me bake the bread?” asked the little red hen.

“That would be overtime for me,” said the cow.

“I’d lose my welfare benefits,” said the duck.

“I’m a dropout and never learned how,”  said the pig.

“If I’m to be the only  helper, that’s discrimination,” said the goose.

“Then I will do it by myself,” said the little red hen.

She baked five loaves and held them up for all of her neighbors to see. They wanted some and, in fact, demanded a share. But the little red hen said, “No,  I shall eat all five loaves.”

“Excess  profits!” cried the cow. (Nancy Pelosi)

“Capitalist leech!” screamed the duck. (Barbara Boxer)

“I demand equal rights!” yelled the goose.  (Jesse Jackson)

The pig just grunted in  disdain. (Ted Kennedy)

And they all painted ’Unfair!’ picket signs and marched around and around the  little red hen, shouting obscenities.

Then the farmer (Obama) came. He said to the little red hen, “You must not be so greedy.”

“But I earned the bread,” said the little red hen.

“Exactly,” said Barack the farmer. “That is what makes our  free enterprise system so wonderful. Anyone in the  barnyard can earn as much as he wants. But under our modern government regulations, the productive workers must divide the fruits of their labor with those who are lazy and idle.”

And they all lived happily ever after, including the little red hen, who smiled and clucked, “I am grateful, for now I truly understand.”

But her neighbors became quite disappointed in  her. She never again baked bread because she joined the ‘party’ and got her bread free. And all the Democrats smiled. ‘Fairness’ had been established.

Individual initiative had died, but nobody noticed;  perhaps no one cared…so long as there was free bread  that ‘the rich’ were paying for.

EPILOGUE
Bill Clinton is getting $12 million for  his memoirs.
Hillary got $8 million for hers.
That’s $20 million for the memories from two  people, who for eight years repeatedly testified, under  oath, that they couldn’t remember anything.

One of the goals put forth by B. Hussein was to utilize the internet to communicate to the American People. We saw the unprecedented website of “The Office of the President Elect” , and a revamped White House website.  And since inauguration, it seems as though more and more .gov websites popping up out of nowhere.

And while I think it’s great to have government transparency in the form of information for the whole country to see, if that information is false, it does more much more harm than good. Such information in previous years would be call “propaganda”.

Well, Recovery.gov is one of those new websites, and The Heritage Foundation has a piece on their blog showing that the data is “completely made up” And in an Orwellian twist, the administration has “corrected” job numbers so that there is no discrepancy.  What next-the “Thought Police”?

I just saw this on an internet forum:

There are two kinds of people in the Electorate:

1. People who remember how horrible the Jimmy Carter years were.

2. People who are about to find out.

I would normally put this under Humor, but it’s anything but. It’s reality.

Meanwhile, “nobody’s perfect”:

BOHICA

Well, here we are. As of January 20, 2009, the Democrats will have a comfortable majority in both chambers of Congress, and they will have an occupant at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. What will they do?

It’s easy to sit around all gloomy and doomy and fret about the coming dictatorship or about the arrival of Marxism to our shores, but let’s be a little realistic here. Given the current economic crisis, there isn’t going to be a whole lot of money to throw around without really tacking a lot more onto the budget defecit and the national debt. The current occupant of the White House has done a bang-up job of making sure that those two items are out of control. Although I’m sure there will be lots of additional spending, I don’t think it will be as bad as some are predicting.

Let’s consider this – now that the Democrats control both the White House and Congress, isn’t one of their primary goals going to be to make sure they stay in control for as long as possible? And aren’t they going to have to be a little judicious in how much money they throw around, lest the American Taxpayers boot them out of office, like we did to congressional Republicans two years ago?

So, what items on their agenda can they implement that would not be a big upfront burden on the taxpayers? Well, I’ve thought quite a bit about that one over the last week, and my primary suspect is the “Employee Free Choice Act”, otherwise known as Union Card Check. Kind of a cute name, don’t you think? “Employee Free Choice Act”. What they should really call it is the “Coerce and Harass Employees into Unionizing Act”.  In case you’re not familiar with this legislation, it would  allow union representatives to organize a group of employees simply by having a majority of said employees sign a card stating their intention to unionize.  In other words, no secret ballots.

So, how would this have a negative impact on the taxpayers?  Well, it wouldn’t, at least not in respect to our role as taxpayers.  It would, however, negatively impact us as consumers.  Let’s say that, come January, this legislation passes, and President Obama signs it.  Now let’s say one of the big unions decide to make a run at unionizing retail service employees.  Let’s say, just as an example, that they choose Wal-Mart employees.  Now let’s say that a majority of Wal-Mart employees exercise their “free choice”, and sign the union cards.  Let’s say the new union can’t come to terms with Wal-Mart, and the case goes before a federal arbitrator.  Let’s say the arbitrator rules in favor of the union.  Now, Wal-Mart employees are unionized.  Now what happens?

The union starts demanding better wages, more break times, better benefits, etc.  How will Wal-Mart respond?  Well, one way would be to raise prices to cover the increased payroll costs.  Another way would be to install more automated self-checkout lanes to cut back on the number of employees needed per store.  The result – higher prices at the retail level and higher unemployment rates.   How wonderful!!

This is one of the most likely things to happen in the next year.  Maybe not Wal-Mart, but Card Check is definitely coming in some form.  In relative terms, considering we have a three-trillion-dollar plus budget and an over ten-trillion-dollar national debt, this won’t be expensive for the government to do, and it will give a BIG payoff to the unions, whose leaders have been so loyal to the Democrats over the years.  Get ready, because here it comes.

Just a quick post about what I think will now happen.

I predict that 2009-2013 will be a repeat of 1977-1981. Two words: JIMMY CARTER.  Hold on tight; we’re in for a rough ride.

On the upside, we’ve been circling the Socialism drain for a while now, and it was bound to happen. Maybe having a Democrat controlled Congress and a very Liberal  President will, in the long term, give us relief. Give ‘em enough rope and they’ll hang themselves.

Hopefully, there is another Ronald Reagan out there that will emerge and be inaugurated in 2013.

This is what happens when you go off your meds:

This should go over big in the coal states:
