Is it too early...

Here are some interesting quotes from President-Elect Obama during his first interview since being elected:

ON A BAILOUT FOR AUTOMAKERS:
"We need to provide assistance to the auto industry. But I think that it can't be a blank check. So my hope is that, over the course of the next week, between the White House and Congress, the discussions are shaped around providing assistance, but making sure that that assistance is conditioned on labor, management, suppliers, lenders, all the stakeholders coming together with a plan -- what does a sustainable U.S. auto industry look like? -- so that we are creating a bridge loan to somewhere, as opposed to a bridge loan to nowhere."

Huh? We need to give them money why? A bridge loan to nowhere? Our next President has the ability to talk without saying anything. After we give money to the Big 3, who will NEED the money next? Obama doesn't know, but he will keep handing out money. Hmmm, continuing to give money will only add to the $5 trillion debt. Isn't that a problem, Mr. Obama?

BUDGET DEFICITS
"We shouldn't worry about the deficit next year, or even the year after that. Short term, the most important thing is that we avoid a deepening recession."

Of course you only care about the "Short Term". Liberals/Idiots have the "buy it now, pay for it later" mentality. The problem here is that America won't be there to foot the bill. True, America can operate with a substantial deficit (look at the Reagan years). America, however, needs the government, as stated by the Constitution, to maintain a balance of power and allow the people to control the market.

ON THE FORECLOSURE CRISIS:
"We have not focused on foreclosures and what's happening to homeowners as much as I would like. We have the tools to do it. We've got to set up a negotiation between banks and borrowers, so that people can stay in their homes. That is going to have an impact on the economy as a whole."

Are you going to allow borrowers to keep their cars that they can't afford too? Is that part of the Bailout? If people bought things they can't pay for, why should they be allowed to keep it? I can't afford to buy a lot of things I want. SO I DON'T! If you can't afford it, don't buy it. Keeping things you didn't pay for is called stealing. It's called STEALING!!!

GUANTANAMO BAY
"I have said repeatedly that I intend to close Guantanamo, and I will follow through on that. I have said repeatedly that America doesn't torture, and I'm going to make sure that we don't torture."

Our troops should do whatever is necessary to keep us safe. Let me say that again.
Our troops should do whatever is necessary to keep us safe.
Example:
Four guys were shooting at Americans. Instead of just being killed, they're lined up side by side. "Who sent you to kill us."
Wait 30 seconds.
If the men are silent, shoot the first one in the knee. The men are still silent...except the first guy is screaming in pain.
"Who sent you to kill us."
Wait 30 seconds. If the men are silent, shoot the first man in the head. All is quiet again.
Repeat until all are dead. If they answer the question, a shot to the head is just punishment. You shoot at an American, you die.

By the way, the Geneva Conventions for already made it illegal to torture prisoners of war, but Mr. President-elect doesn't understand that Guantanamo is a detainment camp for militant combatants...not POWs.

Declaration of Independence:
When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.


Is it too early to Impeach Obama?

(I honestly believe that a Recall Election would be more appropriate, but you can't have them for federal positions so I'll take the next option. )

Yes. It is too early to impeach the best president we will ever have. Sorry.


(by the way...I just discovered your blog. Well written...but obviously I can't disagree more.) :)

The best President we will ever have? It's possible he'll do well. He may even "bring the change America needs." Unlikely, but with my eyes and ears covered I have the audacity of hope to believe that. Speaking of Blind & Deaf, saying "Obama is the best President we will EVER have" may be putting a little too much faith in 44.

Thank you for reading my blog. I value your input. Yes, your name is on a very short list.
