Obama schooled the Republicans when he invited them to a meeting with him ostensibly designed to change the atmosphere in D.C. from rank partisanship to “Cum-Bay-Ah” time.  Get the picture…BHO standing stately on a podium elevated 3 feet above his subjects who were dutifully seated, hands folded and at attention, in front of him.  Missing were his teleprompters so he did have a degree of mental nakedness, having only his quick wit and pearly white plastic smile, modeled after Nancy Pelosi, to keep him in charge.  He made one admission, that he wasn’t quite as open as he had promised.   He quickly minimized his error by stating that almost all debate concerning the health care bill was televised on C-SPAN.  The meat of the crafting took place in Harry Reid’s office, but that fact eluded Obama’s steel trap mind.  Hard to believe isn’t it…..a disingenuous Barry Soetoro aka BHO.

BHO proceeded to either; not answer the questions posed him, answer them partially but sell his agenda in the process or make promises that history indicates he has no intention of keeping.  In general he was quintessential Barrack Hussein Obama.  But, like Br’er Rabbit of childhood story fame, he was in his element.  He looked like the winner.  So much so he has offered, almost begged the Republicans, to do it again.  Please conservatives, don’t fall for this ruse again …he’ll eat your lunch with excessive style but devoid of substance.

Bipartisanship doesn’t work.  Sensible, historically proven, well thought out strategies do.  Try them for a change.  For example:  out of control spending got us into this mess…continuation of the same will not get us out of it.  Will more liquor cure an alcoholic?

Lower tax rates increase revenue flow into the tax coffers.  It has worked for a century through republican and democratic administrations.  Democrat John F. Kennedy recognized it and it worked for him.  Higher tax rates thwarts the engine of job creation…small business.  It has been true for decades, why go against history.

Health care payment models and insurance is broken.  Fix it with a common sense strategy and commonly applied tactics not a twisted distorted Edsel like plan applied through auction and barter among those elected officials turned poker players….with our ante.

Don’t give Obama a forum where he is at his lying best.  He’s self destructing…….let him go….do your best Ole….don’t throw him in HIS brier patch!

Senator Evan Bayh (D-IN) announced on Monday that he will not be a candidate for a third six year term as Indiana Senator, a seat also held by his father, Birch Bayh, from 1963 thru 1981.  Dan Quayle held this seat after the senior Bayh’s 18 years.  He subsequently gave way to Dan Coates, a possible Republican candidate,  who served from Quyale’s departure to run as George Bush 41′s through to Evan Bayh’s election in 1998.

The reason given for Bayh’s departure is truly a dichotomy.  On one hand it seems that he is being disingenuous, given the precipitous decline in public perception of politicians in general and democrats in specific.  His seat would definitely be a hotly contested race with a great possibility that he would not be returned to D.C.  On the other hand,  his comments are spot on.  All elements of government in D.C. are in disarray with the interests of the nation being compromised by politician’s arrogant self serving focus on power and re-election.

Bayh is not the first, nor will he likely be the last who comes to the pragmatic conclusion that re-election would be improbable of not impossible and therefore drops out.  The election of Scott Brown (R-MA) to replace Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) was the 21st century “shot heard ’round the world” in national politics.  2010 will likely be a year of political upheaval……thankfully

Out of control, unfocused, drunken sailor spending…….with unintended economic consequences greater than real economic value is the focal point of the explosive anger of the voters today.   Verbiage designed to obfuscate both political intent and outcome risk, makes an understanding of our economic condition difficult.  Politicians normally get their way when this happens…..but not today.  People understand that if you out spend your earning capacity it will ultimately bite you in the butt……and the mongrels have us tightly in their pearly whites.

A couple of numbers will put this in perspective.  Our nation’s debt is about 80% of our Gross Domestic Product (G.D.P.).  This means that we owe an amount almost equal to our total annual national productive capacity.  Could a family last long under this situation.  Add to this the fact that that 50%+ of our debt is owned by foreigners.   Who is the idiot, them or us?  There is an adage that if you owe an entity$100 you are a debtor.  If, on the other hand, you owe the entity a million dollars you and the entity are partners.  This puts us in partnership with the Godless, communistic country of China, the major holder of our debt.

Politicians have played monopoly with our present and future and used our money as their own personal cookie jar.   Get out your chopsticks….apply for a rickshaw license…we could be in for a rough ride.

Lech Walesa…seems to have the same opinion as Janet and Crash!

President Obama claims he “not an ideologue”…but me thinks he doth protest too much…
Listen as our grandly opinionated hosts Janet and Crash observe the current political landscape.
Recently in Chicago, Nobel Peace Prize winner (unlike our President, he actually DESERVED his as a global symbol of the fight against communism), Lech Walesa said in a speech:
“No one has the least doubt that the United States is the economic and military leader in the world, but I have heard a lot of doubts regarding the moral and political leadership of the United States. Other nations have always rested their hopes on the United States (…) but we have lost that hope”.
Where does that leave us? Has the world lost it’s beacon of hope for freedom and democracy? Where ARE we headed?

THAT’S what all the furor was about? A warm fuzzy with a little humor thrown in to spice it up? Were they serious about protesting so loudly to CBS to drop the ad? I’d like for the NOW (National Organization for Women) ladies, as well as the Planned Parenthood folks to point out the evil intentions of the Focus On The Family Super Bowl ad. It just isn’t there in plain sight. None of us were able to fully understand the mean spiritedness of it…We need help from our left leaning organizations to ‘see’ the harmful nature of it since we are lowly, stupid, blind, Bible thumping, gun toting followers of the under-educated right wing…

Perhaps if Joy Behar had been calling the game for us, she could have taken a second to point out the hate speech contained in the Tebow ad…..Oy VEY!

Amidst all this chaos…God loves me…

Nothing is off the table in this discussion between Janet and Crash! Everything from China’s vested interest in ‘all things American’ to Tim Tebow’s pro-life Super Bowl ad. Why does the pro-choice movement insist on keeping their patients in the dark? After all, if it’s a “choice”, wouldn’t you want your patient to make an informed “choice”? Listen in as Crash boils it down to a struggle between absolute, and relative truth.
