Obama must be allergic to Israel

Israel’s worst friend...

Our President and his administration are a danger to Israel and the world.  We citizens need to hold them very accountable for their actions and inactions.  In review, Obama is the worst President we ever had and the American people should be ashamed that we, as a nation, continue to follow his incorrigible foreign policy.

Israel is our only true ally in the ME and we are failing to support it unconditionally, which we must do.  I’m not sure if the President is simply inept or consciously promoting an “Islamic superiority” throughout the world while endangering our very existence.  It is becoming more apparent that Obama is an enemy of the American people and certainly of Israel.  It’s a shame that we have another year of Obama rule.

Congress must find a way to bypass the President and provide the support Israel needs and deserves.

FOREIGN POLICY

 

RUSSIA AND IRAN ARE THE ENEMY

 

President Obama and his advisers are saying that Putin isn't a worry in the Middle East because he has a coalition of only 3 and we have the rest of the world.

 

A coalition of 3?  No problem???

 

Well, a coalition of 2, Nazi Germany and Italy, almost conquered the world.

 

We almost waited too long to defeat the Nazis.   We shouldn't forget history and we should learn from our mistakes.

 

 

the luxury to retrospect...

I have such a different view now of the Obama’s than I did in 2008.  I am so sorry I voted for him the first time, but I know I did so because of the poor alternatives.

 

The world we have created has evolved into a dangerous one on so many levels and I honestly don’t know what can be done about it.  My hope for for the inherent good of most humans will surface and may overthrow the devils who are in charge.  It is harder these days for me to be very optimistic, as I once was in my early youth.

 

I worry every day for our children and grandchildren.  I hope they find a niche they may be in and feel comfortable in.  It is getting harder to find that kind of niche.  I have been very lucky for the niche I have created for myself and the one the world has let me live in, up until now.  All that can change in a few seconds.

President Obama not seeing clearly...

President needs better vision

Maybe the president needs to clean the White House windows to get a better view of middle America. Twenty million Americans are out of work, while thousands have lost their homes to foreclosure.

Hundreds of jobs are being outsourced to cheaper labor overseas or to illegal immigrants here.  Our children’s education has taken a back seat to the net profits of the corporate sector.  Most Americans lack affordable health care and too many are in debt for over-using credit cards to pay for their daily living expenses.

But we’re fighting expensive wars overseas that we can’t win.   American soldiers continue to die daily in Iraq, Afghanistan and other god-forsaken places throughout the world, while the needs and care of our veterans are not being met.

Never has an American president appeared so disassociated from the reality of the American people.

Why the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a.k.a., Obamacare bites the big one!

The ACA was rammed through Congress like poop through a duck!

Many people think they like it.  Many are liberals who think it's the greatest deal in the world for poor people, so they can afford to buy health care.

I'm here to tell you that the Affordable Care Act STINKS!!!

Because:

We were told the premiums would be significantly lower and they are NOT.

We were NOT told that out-of-pocket expenses would increase dramatically.

We were NOT told that yearly deductibles would escalate absurdly from where they were around $250 per year way up to a high of $15,000 per year, depending on what sort of coverage you want and what premium you want.

We were NOT told about all the hidden costs we would have to pay for services and that we wouldn't know about them until we are billed by doctors, hospitals, et. al.

The AFA is a terrible concept and it is failing Americans on most levels.

If you want to pay a small premium for poor coverage, it is possible to get a slight deal.

We were told that insurance companies must cover preexisting conditions; however, many people are finding that their preexisting conditions are either NOT covered or they must PAY MUCH MORE to have it covered.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IS THAT ENOUGH FOR YOU AS TO WHY THE ACA STINKS FOR MOST AMERICANS???

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Furthermore, health care providers are playing end-around games with patients and charging more for their goods and services, plus, the costs are rising every 6 months!

If Obama and Congress wanted to provide everyone with cheaper insurance they should have extended Medicare for all Americans.

People could have been charged the same amounts Medicare recipients are paying for the same Medicare benefits and affordable deductibles.

It's all a fight to pull-in the mighty dollar!

But, the health providers would throw a major fit.  They couldn't charge high premiums and deductibles; they couldn't charge elevated costs for medications; they would have to take in less profit under a Medicare for All program.

Medicare works well for most people on it; it is a proven system and they had it right in front of Obama's nose!!!

Health care was much better BEFORE Obama sold our nation a bill of goods.  It was cheaper and more affordable.

Both President Obama and his Obamacare have been a HUGE disappointment.  Interestingly, many people still don’t know it, but in time they will.

my response to Speaker Boehner...

Dear Speaker Boehner:

 

You said, “Instead of working together to fix our broken immigration system, the president says he’s acting on his own.  That’s just not how our democracy works.   The president has said before that ‘he’s not king’ and he’s ‘not an emperor,’ but he’s sure acting like one.  And he’s doing it a time when the American people want nothing more than for us to work together.”

 

While I agree with your statement, I also need to remind you that upon Obama's inauguration the Republicans publicly proclaimed that it would NOT approve anything Obama wanted and the GOP also promised that it would NOT cooperate nor compromise with Obama.

 

So, the GOP first decided to become renegades and now the President is determined to be a renegade.

 

Neither party has worked in the best interests of American citizens and the President acts in the same absurd way.  There is a reason that Congress has a 14 percent approval rating.

 

Neither party is innocent during the past 2 decades.  Neither party has offered to compromise and meet in the middle on various issues.  Consequently, both parties have failed American citizens and continue to do so.

 

Change your tactics and work together.  Stop blaming each other.  You are both at fault.

Illegal Immigration...

It is finally time the U.S. deals expediently and intelligently with illegal immigration and the many issues surrounding it. 

Some of the issues have become physically chaotic and financially detrimental to our way of life. The main issue with illegal immigrants is that “illegal” means illegal. It is against the law that immigrants arrive, work and live in the U.S. without first observing the laws governing immigration. Those who do not follow the laws and rules, who live and work here, are doing so illegally and it is the responsibility of our Federal Government and the various state governments to work together in resolving the various problems. American employers must stop hiring illegals because it is against the law to do so.

It is estimated that the illegal immigrant population in the U.S. totals approximately 40 million even though the government stats cite 20 million. Many illegals are hired illegally by U.S. companies and individual citizens. It is done to hire employees more cheaply or because the jobs available are not the type desired by Americans. In addition, illegals do not receive typical job and health benefits. Illegal immigrants arrive here from many different countries, including India, China, Japan, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Cuba, South and Central America, Africa, Vietnam and from many other areas of the world.

Since Mexico borders the U.S. for many miles, and because the Mexican government does not treat citizens humanely and does not provide them with jobs, most of the illegals come into the U.S. from this country. We have permitted illegals in our nation for many decades and have diverted our attention from this issue. Now, we are paying a big price.

There is a political and financial upheaval in Mexico with continuing violence near the border. The illegal drug trafficking and gang-related activity has reached an all time high. The violence has rocked many towns on both sides of the border. Some border towns, e.g., Nuevo Laredo and Juarez, have observed blatant fighting and murders between rivals gangs or cartels, which also have killed Mexican officials as well as American citizens. The once boom town of Juarez is rapidly becoming a ghost town due to the ongoing gang violence. It is estimated that 116,000 homes have been evacuated as homeowners have fled further south or into the U.S. to avoid the bloodshed. The estimate leads to the realization that almost 460,000 residents have fled the town.

Several years ago, a long-time American rancher was murdered by a Mexican [drug cartel] gang member. Many believe that Cochise County rancher Rob Krentz was shot and killed on his ranch some time Saturday, presumably by a drug smuggler. The death, which is being investigated as a homicide, occurred in the San Bernardino Valley, part of the Malpais region. The Krenz family has operated the ranch for 100 years. After this incident and years of violence and burglaries perpetrated by Mexican intruders, U.S. residents living near the Mexican border are banding together to maintain a collective presence that will turn away further intrusive behavior and activity by illegals entering the U.S. They are gathering collectively because the U.S. Government and various state governments are NOT resolving the illegal immigration issue and also are permitting the illegal drug trafficking because many “entities” are benefitting from these acts.

So far, superficial “Band-Aids” are being placed on the deep wounds of illegal immigration and drug trafficking. President Obama wants to provide amnesty to all illegal immigrants now living and working in the U.S. unconditionally. While the Mexican government wants the U.S. to care for the illegal population, Mexico has strict laws prohibiting illegal immigrants to reside and work in its country. The Mexican government enjoys the economic enhancement it receives from illegal immigrants working and living in the U.S. who send large sums of their earning back home to their families who in turn used the money to purchase goods and services in Mexico. The money sent home is Mexico’s No. 2 source of foreign income after oil exports — totaled $21.2 billion in 2009, compared with $25.1 billion in 2008. Possibly the most money sent to a foreign home outside the U.S. is from illegals originally from India.

There are some states that provide illegals with identification cards and special driver’s licenses even though they do not have a social security number.  New Mexico, Hawaii, Washington state and Maryland do not check the immigration status of drivers when they apply for a license. An additional problem from this situation is that additional illegal practices and scams have occurred.  These states have enabled criminals and illegals to develop identities and have increased fraudulent activities.  Maryland has been trying to approve a 2-license system of which one is to provide illegals with a permit to drive rather than using the license as a document for legal identification purposes.

It is time U.S. employers stop paying low wages to illegals by enforcing the immigration laws currently on the books, which includes jail time and fines to those who employ them.   Congress must stop doing what it does best, pushing away difficult problems to future generations. While the Mexican government sends its envoys to the U.S. to demand better treatment of illegal Mexicans living and working in the U.S., our nation does not object to the Mexican government’s treatment of Mexico’s population. If the Mexican government would treat its citizens humanely with respect and to provide them with jobs, these people would not be endangering their lives by high-tailing it to the U.S.  We need to make some demands on Mexican leaders and not let them tell us that we need to keep and employ their refugees who came here illegally.

The same situation occurs with other countries and the immigrants who arrive here illegally.  Illegal immigration is a difficult problem that is made worse every day that we do not deal with it. We can no longer ignore the problems inherent in permitting illegal immigrants to live and work here in the U.S. since the issues will continue to worsen politically, socially and economically.  We need to be fair, but legally and enforcement firm.

Obama, Democrats push for new immigration reform...

The big news in D.C. is that Democrats are vying for a better foothold for the 2016 national elections and pushing for new immigration reform would get them mega votes that they need to win.

Do we really need immigration reform?  or, do we need to enforce the immigration laws we have.

This is an emotional issue even more than a social and political one.  We Americans should really consider how during the past several decades immigration has affected our nation and really think what any type of new immigration reform will do in our future.

No doubt Obama is trying to leave a legacy.  He tried to do so with the Affordable Care Act, a.k.a. Obamacare, but the new health care law has been creating havoc throughout the nation, even before the law takes effect on January 1, 2014.

As for new immigration reform:

During the past 50 years we have been lax to enforce our immigration laws.  The reasons for this are varied, including political, economic and humanitarian issues.

However, the U.S. doesn't need immigration reform.  We need better enforcement of our current immigration laws, the ones our parents, grandparents, great grandparents and great-great grandparents had to abide by.  Why should illegals get a free ride being here illegally?  Our ancestors didn't get any free passes.  They came here legally, followed the laws, learned to speak English and assimilated to American culture.  They didn't try to get Americans to assimilate to theirs.

At least that's what I believe.  How do you feel about the immigration issue?
