Ahmadinejad Flips Obama The Bird
February 7, 2010
And unless President Obama wises up really soon, the next thing this nut job will be flipping is nuclear missiles.
OOOOOOOO! Obama and the UN are imposing sanctions!!
Oh well, I’ll just enrich some more uranium.
Iran’s president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ordered his country’s atomic agency on Sunday to begin the production of higher enriched uranium, in a move that’s likely to deepen international skepticism about the country’s real intentions on the crucial issue of enriched uranium.
In comments broadcast on state television, Ahmadinejad said: “God willing, 20 percent enrichment will start” to meet Iran’s needs. He did not give a date for the start of the enrichment process.
He was speaking at a meeting attended by the head of Iran’s atomic energy agency, Ali Akbar Salehi.
Turning to Salehi, Ahmadinejad said: “Mr. Salehi, begin production of 20 percent” enriched uranium.”
From “Yes We Can” To “OK, I Get It”
January 24, 2010
President Obama’s first State Of The Union address will try and re-assure the American people that he “feels their pain” and that he is actually going to do something about it.
Good luck with that one Mr. President.
Seizing a chance to reconnect, President Barack Obama will use his first State of the Union address to try to persuade the people of a frustrated nation that he’s on their side, with a familiar sounding agenda recast to relate better to everyday struggles.
In a time of deep economic insecurity, Obama will use this stage on Wednesday to offer hope after a grueling, grinding first year of his presidency, aides say. For the many who think the United States is still on the wrong track, Obama will attempt to present a clearer sense of how everything he’s pursuing fits together to help.
And for jittery Democrats facing re-election this fall, Obama will seek to give them an agenda they can sell to voters.
Obama will propose ways to help the middle class. But any new ideas probably will play a supporting role to the plainspoken narrative he wants to tell, that his agenda works for people despite their growing doubts.
“Obviously you want to write a speech in a way that is interesting enough that people want to listen, and that leaves them feeling a sense of momentum and progress,” senior Obama adviser David Axelrod told The Associated Press. “But these are serious times. I don’t think this is a time for rhetorical flights of fancy.”
What to expect in the speech, which comes during a rocky period for Obama?
Heavy does of health care, despite the setbacks of the past week, and job creation. Obama will address the budget deficit, his bid to take on the financial industry, energy, education and immigration. All those issues, he says, fit into his plan to rebuild the economy.
Obama Already Knows Who He Will Be Running Against In 2012
November 5, 2009
This shouldn’t come as a big surprise to anyone.
It’s not like It’s a deep, dark political secret.
Actually, it should be fairly obvious to everyone.
In 2012, Barack Obama will be running against the same man he ran against in 2008.
No, not John McCain.
The man Obama ran against in 2008 is the same man he will run against in 2012, George Bush.
If the truth be told, he is still running against Bush.
As the Democrats suffered huge losses in two states that were firmly in the Obama column in last year’s Presidential race, Obama traveled to Wisconson to give a speech.
During his remarks, President Obama had this to say:
His administration faced a “financial crisis that threatened to plunge our economy into a Great Depression, the worst that we’ve seen in generations.”
“We had record deficits, two wars, frayed alliances around the world.”
In other words, it’s all George Bush’s fault.
With all due respect Mr. President, it’s time to step up to the plate.
We all know that President Obama didn’t walk into a job where he wouldn’t be facing any major problems.
On the other hand, Mr. Obama surely knew what he would be facing.
A financial crisis?
Millions of people are out of work, thousands more continue to lose their homes, the stock market is still in the tank, retirement accounts are still losing money.
Just this week, the Senate passed a bill to extend unemployment benefits.
And in their infinite wisdom, they also tacked on a provision giving a tax credit to first-time home buyers.
President Obama, how in the hell is someone going to buy a house if they don’t have a job?
Record deficits?
Between this administration’s out of control spending, not to mention the pricetag we will face if the health care reform package passes, America’s federal deficit will reach levels undreamed of by even the gloomiest economic forecaster.
Two wars?
We still have two wars, and we are not one step closer to resolving either conflict than we were the day you took office.
Yet as President Obama focuses on passage of health care reform, members of America’s military continue to die in Iraq and Afghanistan, because the President doesn’t want to come to a hasty decision about a request to send additional troops.
Again, with all due respect Mr. President, American soldiers are being killed!
America has managed to survive for over 200 years without nationalized health care, a few more weeks wouldn’t make that much of a difference.
Instead of worrying about if someone can get a free doctor’s visit, focus instead on this country’s young men and women who are giving their lives in a foreign land.
Pull all of our forces out, send more troops, don’t send more troops, but in the respect of all that is decent and honorable, make a decision!
Frayed alliances?
Does the President really think that traveling to various countries and apologizing for the so-called “mistakes” of America has made us the darlings of the world?
The leaders and citizens of most of those countries are laughing behind the President’s back, while North Korea and Iran, two nations run by certifiable nut cases, continue to work towards building a nuclear arsenal.
Yes, President Obama did inherit some serious issues.
However, he asked for the job.
America gave it to him.
It’s time that he stop blaming the guy who had the job before him for everything that he has failed to fix.
And before all of you who will send a comment saying “Well, give the man a chance, he’s only been in office for a year” respond to this article, do us this favor.
Point out where the unemployment rate has dropped, where the stock market has rebounded, where federal spending on dubious programs has been cut back, or where President Obama has made any significant progress towards getting America back on it’s feet.
Those of you who call Iraq and Afghanistan “George Bush’s wars’s” point out where we are any closer to seeing the end of the carnage.
Show us where the threat of a terrorist attack has been significantly reduced.
And when you have failed to do so, it will be time for all of you who apologize for President Obama, as well as the President himself, to face one cold hard fact.
George Bush isn’t President anymore.
The Nobel Prize Committee Could Be Racists
October 12, 2009
What the heck were the nitwits in Norway thinking?
Don’t they realize how much they have disrespected the President Of The United States?
There has been a worldwide backlash against this, and it is the Committee’s own fault.
They pulled a massive blunder, and they gave Obama the wrong prize!
Was there an element of racism involved here?
After all, millions of Americans have been labeled as racists simply because they disagree with the President’s policies.
And they tend to ignore, or take him to task, for his accomplishments.
So what does the Nobel Prize Committee do?
They do pretty much the same thing, ignoring his accomplishments, yet they give Obama an award!
But they didn’t give him the right award.
They gave President Barack Obama the Nobel Peace Prize.
When by all rights he should have been awarded the Nobel Prize for Economics.
Let’s take a look at what Obama has done to earn the award he was given.
He has talked about how he will reach out to America’s enemies.
He has talked about how Iran must halt it’s nuclear program.
He has talked about the U.S. role in Afghanistan.
He has talked about getting tough with North Korea over their missile program.
He has talked about a ban on nuclear weapons.
Yes, the President has talked about a lot of things.
He hasn’t gotten any of them done, but that’s another story.
However, when it comes to economics, he has accomplished quite a bit.
A 787 billion dollar “stimulus” package.
(Just because it has failed to stimulate the economy, well, only you Tea Party people would hold that against him.)
He hasn’t called for the resignation of the man in charge of America’s income tax code, Charles Rangel.
(By letting a tax cheat keep his job, he is helping to keep the revenue pouring into the IRS.)
He has, for all intents and purposes, taken over control of the American financial system.
(It’s better to have government bureaucrats in charge than to let free market economics decide things.)
He is hard at work, not talking about, but working on, the largest tax increase in world history.
(Cap And Trade may bankrupt many Americans, but bankruptcy is an economic theory, right?)
He siezed control of General Motors and Chrysler.
(And when that didn’t seem to do the trick, he instituted Cash For Clunkers, which was great for the Asian economy.)
He continues to promote his call for health care reform.
(Turning over one-sixth of the U.S. economy to the sort of people that work at the DMV should be prize-worthy.)
So how do the numbskulls from Norway explain this?
They recognize Obama for things that he hasn’t done.
And they totally ignored his accomplishments.
What in the world were they thinking?

France Is Disgusted With The United States. And With Good Reason
October 2, 2009
Those are words I would never have thought I would write.
In my wildest dreams, I never would have imagined a time when I would have more respect for the leader of France than I did for the leader of my own country.
That time has arrived.
At a recent meeting of the United Nations Security Council. Barack Obama made the following statement:
“We must never stop until we see the day when nuclear arms have been banished from the face of the earth.”
On the face of it, this is a wonderful idea.
It’s never going to happen.
But it is a nice idea.
It is truly an affirmation of the dreamworld our President lives in when he elicits this response from French President Nicolas Sarkozy:
“President Obama dreams of a world without weapons…but right in front of us two countries are doing the exact opposite.”
“Iran since 2005 has flouted five Security Council resolutions.”
“North Korea has been defying Council resolutions since 1993.”
“What good has proposals for dialogue brought the international community?”
“More uranium enrichment and declarations by the leaders of Iran to wipe out a UN member state off the map.”
How about that?
The President of France, yes France, taking a stronger stand against evil than does the President of the United States!
Of course, President Obama still labors under the misconception that, if the people who are hell-bent on turning what they perceive to be their enemies into sub-atomic particles would just sit down and have milk and cookies with him, all would be well.
The trouble is, the nutcases in North Korea and Iran must not like cookies.
At the G8 meeting in July, President Obama set a strict deadline of September 10th for Iran to hold diplomatic negotiations regarding their nuclear ambitions.
When Iran totally ignored this demand, Obama moved the deadline forward to the end of December.
And being the type of man that he is, President Obama wasn’t about to let the members of the UN Security Council and the rest of the world think he was fooling around.
At the G8 summit in Pittsburgh, President Obama declared once again:
“Iran has been put on notice.”
And this time, Iran didn’t ignore him.
They promptly test-fired two missiles capable of carrying a nuclear warhead more than a thousand miles.
Yep, looks like Obama really has them worried now.
“You Sound Really Stupid When You Don’t Bother To Get Basic Facts Right”
June 19, 2009
In response to one of our recent articles, George Bush Was The Worst President Ever!, the title being a play on words to point out that, despite media bias to the contrary, Bush was much more effective than some of his predecessors, a reader left the following comment:
Jack Black on June 17th, 2009 3:12 PM:
“You might read your history to see that Reagan’s election team paid Iran not to release the hostages while Carter was President- so Carter would not have the boost of freeing the hostages help him win the election. Carter also sent men to extract the hostages but they were all killed.
You sound really stupid when you don’t bother to get basic facts right.”
I wanted to clear things up for Mr. Black, but my response proved to be a bit long for a standard comment, so I decided to respond in this manner:
Jack:
So you claim I don’t have my basic facts right.
How about you?
The Obama Administration’s Next Step In Dealing With Terrorism
May 29, 2009
I disagree with just about every policy or proposal put forth by the Obama adminsitration.
However, I still consider myself a patriotic American, and therfore want to humbly offer President Obama my advice.
Among the methods I have heard projected for dealing with terrorist harboring rogue nations such as Iran seem to me to simply be a continuation of some of the methods tried by the Bush administration.
Among them are:
United Nations resolutions
Negotiation
Diplomacy
Face-to-face dialogues
Economic sanctions
And I am sure there are many that I am leaving out.
However, as in any area of life, it is always a good idea to have a backup plan in place and ready to go, just in case your plans fail to achieve the results you are hoping for.
So with ending the threat of terrorism against the United States such a vital issue to the security, the safety, and the future of America and all of her citizens, you may want to consider the method outlined in the video below:
What Do Folks In Iran Do After Church?
February 12, 2009
Well, technically, people in Iran don’t attend Church. At least not as we think of it.
But they still have their little get-togethers.
Right off of the bat, I would like to see you provide myself and our Freedom Medium readers with PROOF, not an opinion piece, not innuendo, not supposition, but PROOF, actual evidence that the payoff you claim actually occurred.
What actually happened was that after Reagan’s election, but before his inauguration, he and his team, with the help of Algerian diplomats, began negotations with Iran.
On the day of Reagan’s inauguration, the United States released Iranian assets that had been seized by the U.S. government and the hostages were freed.
It had been made very clear to the ruling powers in Iran that if the hostages were not freed, as soon as Reagan became President his first orders would be to begin military actions against Iran, and they would not be the pathetic effort that Carter put forth.
Now, as to Carter.
The hostages were seized in November of 1979 (take note Jack, a YEAR before the election.
In April of 1980 (another tidbit Jack, it took Carter six months to get around to doing something besides trying to talk to people who weren’t listening) the U.S attempted a rescue attempt.
Contrary to your implication that Reagan paid off the Iranian government in order to help his election chances, Carter, well aware that he was slipping in the polls, pressured his military commanders to hastily put together one of the poorest planned, poorly executed operations in military history.
Using helicopters that were not properly outfitted for desert operations, a team of U.S. commandos attempted a rescue of the hostages.
Three of the helicopters crashed in the desert, and eight members of the rescue team were killed.
Carter tried to pull this off in spite of advice to the contrary from some of his highest-level advisors, and the rescue mission proved to be such a debacle that afterwards, Carter’s Secretary of State, Cyrus Vance, resigned in disgust.
Are those facts basic enough for you Jack?
Or was the premise of the article beyond your level of comprehension?
It seems fairly obvious that you are more interested in name calling than you are in having a rational discussion regarding a point of view that may not agree with your own.
And don’t worry, your name calling didn’t hurt my feelings, such a response is typical of people like you.
The truth is, 52 American citizens were held hostage for 444 days while Carter, the second-most pathetic excuse this country has ever had for a President did nothing, except manage to be a cause of the deaths of the soldiers who were sent on a rescue mission without the proper planning or equipment, all in the name of political gain.
Reagan, on the other hand, before he even took office, began negotiations that led to the hostage’s release.
And you may not think it’s right, but that’s a fact Jack!
P.S. If you need some additional “basic facts” as to what an incompetent boob that Carter was, do some research as to how Ross Perot hired a former Green Beret to (successfully) rescue employees of his firm that were taken hostage in the same time period.
