Bogus Claims on the Obama Resume

July 1st, 2010 | Add a Comment

Out of all the presidents, we know the least about Obama; we can’t seem to find or SEE his birth certificate, nor can we even know what his grades were in Kindergarden. Other presidents didn’t have this luxury that Obama enjoys. Or at least enjoys for now. People talk. Things get leaked out… Like this Article from The Examiner: Obama has made sure that all of his records are sealed tight.  And apart from the courageous souls at the various educational institutions who dared to speak the truth, the schools Obama claimed to attend unanimously refuse to release transcripts, records, or other bits of evidence concerning Obama’s presence in their institutions. In what is being called ‘the biggest hustle in human history,’ a special investigation has discovered numerous … Read entire article »

Obama’s Bid Rejected

Obama’s Bid Rejected

According to David Axelrod, “politics” played a key role in the International Olympic Committee’s decision to reject President Obama’s appeal in support of Chicago’s bid to host the 2016 Olympics. Interesting, Axelrod didn’t choose “racism” as the reason, because here at home, if Obama’s policies or plans are rejected – “racism” is the only reason that administration can come up with. However, using “politics” as the reason the bid failed is also interesting and in my opinion,  … Read entire article »

Vagabond

I remember growing up seeing a guitar about the house and even strumming on it a few times. My mom always told me it was my dad’s, but I never saw him play it. It was a different guitar with pictures on it. Back then it seemed a rarity to me. Some years later, my son Enric found it, and his last stay here became interested in taking it home and having a friend look into … Read entire article »

Proof – Government IS the Problem

February 24th, 2009 | Add a Comment

Northern Trust, a Chicago based bank, a bank that received $1.6 billion in bailout money, was caught by TMZ, recently spending a fortune hosting a series of lavish parties and concerts to go along with a Golf Tournament. We’re told Northern Trust paid millions to sponsor the PGA event which ended Sunday, but what happened off the golf course is even more shocking. Northern Trust flew hundreds of clients and employees to L.A. and put many of them up at some of the fanciest and priciest hotels in the city. We’re told more than a hundred people were put up at the Beverly Wilshire in Bev Hills, and another hundred stayed at the Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel. Still more stayed at the Ritz Carlton in Marina Del Rey and others at … Read entire article »

Obama Victory Bash Owes City $1.74 mil

February 21st, 2009 | 1 Comment

From the Chicago Sun Times: Chicago has yet to recoup the $1.74 million cost of President Obama’s victory celebration in Grant Park — despite a burgeoning $50.5 million budget shortfall that threatens more layoffs and union concessions. “The Democratic National Committee has not yet paid us,” Peter Scales …”This is not a presidential visit. . . . This is a political event, and they’ve agreed to pay for all those services — all the expenses of that. … It’s costly, but they raised quite a bit of money. There’s no [shortage] of money in that campaign.” More HERE … Read entire article »

Get Me to the Church on Time (part 1)

June 29th, 2005 | 1 Comment

Get Me to the Church on Time (part 1)

This date loomed before us with happiness and part dread. We had to be 800 plus miles to Wisconsin from Maryland overnight and back the next day to get the children back to Maryland, 800 plus miles more, in time for the vans leaving for camp. When it was planned out months ago, it seemed like a total impossiblity. Yet, it had to be done. Made worse by not having any sleep two nights prior to heading … Read entire article »
