Congressman Conyers, Others To Busy To Read & Do Their Job

When a person is elected, by the people, to represent the people, it bodes well for them to do the very best job they can do for everyone, not for themselves. However, being a local, state, national representative of any kind "IS A JOB!" It is not supposed to be vacations (3-6 times a year) in Nantucket, Cabo San Lucas , or wherever else their hearts desire. As a rule, most jobs do not offer people who do not work 40 hours a week, for a full year, a vacation at all. Then, after that year, they receive some kind of "full time employee package," like a weeks vacation, health care, and maybe some kind of profit sharing (while the vacation and profit sharing goes up, for a normal person, as time/years go on). Therefore, why are congressman/women, the Senate, and President of the United States balking and some outright stating, they will not be reading the health care bill (like they did with the Stimulus, Omnibus, and other bills which have been rammed thru to law, by the democrat clad House, Senate, and President)?

John Conyers, Jr. Michigan's Democratic 14th District Congressman, stated on the floor of Congress today, “I love these members, they get up and say, ‘Read the bill,’” said Conyers. What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don't have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?” This Health Care Overhaul is 20% of the U. S. economy, it is 1017 pages long (at present time), has more entitlements (33), 53 new offices/bureaus/bigger government, it uses the word "SHELL" (as in shell corporation, shell money scheme, etc..) 1683 times and it could bankrupt America (LITERALLY). This does not seem to bother Conyers, as he will be going on his first vacation (after just 6 months in office this year, in a recession, no bill done at the Presidents behest, and the American people getting more and more angry) in just a handful of days (3). Conyers just told the American people he would not be reading the most important bill, possibly in American history, because it is to long and he doesn't have two attorneys (yet he is voting yes, regardless, as he stated on the floor of Congress). Would you get fired, or laid off, if you went about your job in this way? The answer is yes, you would be fired, if you still have a job (as the unemployment rate is over 10% now, in America).

Instead of Conyers and other congressman/women, senators, and (most important) President Obama delaying their vacations, in order to get America's people back to work, have better (not government, but better) health care, and fixing the U. S. economy (not to mention Israel, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, and now China complaining about the U. S. debt). However, that is not going to happen. In fact, all will go home for a while and then will go onto vacationing hot spots (where they will be some of the only ones there, after Obama's speaking out against those going to Reno, Vegas, and other spots for conventions and business). Conyers himself is going home, in order to impose (like the democrats want in the health bill) government's standards on your life and health. His latest press release, at http://conyers.house.gov/ (if you wish to see the whole "1984" democratic plan for health care):

"No Family Left Inside: Tips on Healthy Living"
11 AM – 3 PM
Saturday, August 1, 2009



Please join Congressman Conyers this Saturday to find out about recreation activities available for people of all ages, nutrition tips from experts and other ways to keep your family healthy. Summer-theme foods will be provided. Guests: Dr. Lynn Smitherman (pediatrician and assistant professor at Wayne State) Big Lou Campbell (personal trainer), Greening of Detroit, Detroit Police Athletic League (invited) and Detroit Parks and Recreation (invited).

While Conyers and other democrats will go back to their districts and states to try and sway the American people, to vote yes on a health bill to control (almost all) facets of citizens lives, listen to what they are wanting to do. Just a handful of things in the bill and/or what the outcome will be from the bill. The government has put forth taxing video games (so kids will go play outside), snacks (to fight obesity), soda/pop, and then all of the taxes which will naturally raise from the owners/production people of all things (food, energy, and just about anything you can think of, the government will have to gain revenue). Then, the government telling Americans (by taxing) what to eat, how to live, how thin/fat to be, and generally intervening in the lives of all citizens, for its own gain. While the "elected officials, who are all individually wealthy and make over $150,000 a year (in salary alone), are not effected by any of these things. In fact, they can't even bother "without two days and two attorneys" to read bills and do their own jobs. However, I hope they all have a great vacation, since the rest of America will be struggling and killing themselves to "just make do."

Obama's Mistakes Are His Fault & Were Predictable

A complete "Cap & Trade" and "Universal Health Care Overhaul" was to have transpired and become law, by next Friday (before the "August Recess"). Instead, Obama's quest to bankrupt America has fallen short (of actual good government and short on the President's time table), all on Capital Hill and President Obama will be off on VACATION. Less than six full months on the job, Barack Obama and family, will rent a $38,000 a week (they are staying a week). Although, what is failing to be seen and figured, is the White House's personal chefs, personal cleaners and staff, the countless private security (which is needed, for the President), and finally the to and from of jet fuel. All of these things will be a vacation, for Obama and his family, totaling about $240-310 million (jet fuel alone, will be close to $100,000). In a time, in our country's history, when the economy, countless unemployed (more than 300,000 new unemployed a month, and no end in sight), and the basic man is struggling to cool their homes, buy insurance, and other problems the "upper crust" of Washington will never experience.

There have been virtually no promises, from the campaign trail, to the White House, to six months into the Presidency few things President Obama have come true, or were drastic mistakes. Going around the world, apologizing for America and the "Carbon Emissions" the country has out (when China, India, and Pakistan the three fastest growing economies refuse to change their pollution policies, which would negate America's contribution, if we were to cut out all of our emissions), spewing a police department is "stupid" (on a case he admitted, "I do not know all the facts on") in front of the country, plus the promise of "If the stimulus package is passed, then unemployment will not fall below 8.0% (when the stimulus package was rushed thru congress, not read before being voted on, and yet the unemployment rate is hovering around 9.6-10.7%, depending on the exact figures used). It seems very hard to understand how a vacation is in order, for any of these people. In fact, just these things in general, should have all of these people impeached and/or fired. After all, that is what would happen, if they were working a real job (a job 99% of Americans work at), there is no doubt they would all be gone, not on vacation.

Finally, American should pray the citizens have come to their senses, because President Obama's approval rating is below 50% (48%) for the first time. This may have a lot to do with Health Care, Cap & Tax, and then again the people of America have had enough with Barack Obama the person. Where people speculated and were sucked into the "Hope and Change" theme of President Obama's primary and early days in office (almost star struck and lacking in facts, which is what the media, pundits, democratic leverage men (like David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel), and others like Rev. Jeremiah Wright, etc...etc...). However, I was not one of these people, in past entries/articles from June to February, I documented there could not be a real agent of change (or positive change), behind Obama's eyes (by the company he kept, the way he got very high politically at a meteoric rise, and how what was said behind closed doors, didn't vet with what was coming out on the stump). Ex. See Joe "the Plumber" and Obama's "Spreading the wealth comment, "The Real Obama" (an article I wrote about what Obama's Presidency would be like, which is stunningly right on), and the countless other articles others and I have written, ahead of the date, and came out right over 95% of the time (at least on my end, articles). The twenty years in Jeremiah Wright's racist, anti-Semetic, and pro-Arab church, to the Bill Ayers and Chicago ties (lending Obama to have risen to high to fast, making things look, as if, he was vaulted to the Presidency on the backs of the media, high powered liberal players and his own choices), there are the Tony Rezco (just one of Obama's friends, for years, who is now under federal indigtment) and finally there was the "San Francisco Values Speech."

The "S. F. Values Speech" alone, where Barack Obama said, "people in the middle parts of the country (referring to Pennsylvania and more of "fly over country", not the coasts and elites) cling to their Bibles, guns, and their antipathy to those who are different colors, religions and just different than they are, make them less" making them not "elites/liberals/progressives." President Obama does not need a vacation, when he has made strong statements, saying, "Health Care" and "Cap & Tax" must be passed by the August recess. There is only one reason 100 blue dog democrats (democrats who are fiscally responsible and also are in the same vein of some republican thoughts/ideas, i.e. guns, religions, etc..) and all the republicans are not going to vote for the Health Care abomination. It is not good for the country, it will kill the job market (to the tune of 15-19%, in the next 1-2 years), and finally it could bankrupt America. Seriously, the C. B. O. (Congressional Budget Organization, an independent and bipartisan group) says the deficit will grow to the $4-10 Trillion range in the next 3-5 years, jobs will stagnate and will not come back, and finally they said there will not be any change for the better in the Health Care overhaul, but in turn, it will wreck the health care system of America. A system where everyone, who has the money, comes to get their care, have surgeries, and gets major problems solved (something the nation can't afford, in multiple ways, being as there are no Hollywood and/or Washington elites going to England for surgeries.) Barack Obama wants these last two bills jammed thru, as fast as humanly possible (even if the people elected do not read the bills), in order to get them passed, in action, and well before more Americans can learn more. Does that sound like the "Change You Can Trust In?" Does this sound like a President who wants what he wants, because he and his family will never be effected (because they are multi-millionares, like most of the people who want these things), so he wants his ideologies to prosper (whether good for the country and the people want them, or not), regardless of the consequences.

Obama Says, "Stimulus Worked," While Jobs Still Tanking

"When we pass this stimulus bill, unemployment will not go above 9%," Barack Obama promised, in the first month of his Presidency. The Congress shot the stimulus package thru, faster than they could read it. However, today's unemployment has gone from 8.3% to 9.5%, in just five months. America has lost over 1.5 million jobs, since the "stimulus bill" was passed. For the month of June (alone), 200-300,000 more jobs have been lost (not counting the number of people who are not reporting, trying to collect unemployment, or are just down and out) and the unemployment rate is 9.6-10.1%.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, if Barack Obama is a good President, doing a good job, but there is no debating a concrete set of statistics. Yet, on Wednesday, President Obama came out and said, "the stimulus package is a complete success." However, there was little reported on the quote, the problem with Barack Obama's outlook on the economy, and the overall hemorrhage of jobs in the country. There is also a problem with the "Cap and Trade" policy, for Barack Obama. The "Al Gore global warming mantra" (which progressives/liberals, at a 76% rate, see as undebatable) took a hit, as emails/reports from the E. P. A. were buried (by the administration, or it's minions) and several top scientists (who think global warming is not man made, or there is no global warming at all) are banned from the upcoming scientific conference, in Russia (coming in two weeks). "Cap and Trade" and global warming are not getting accurately reported, or not reported on at all (by the mainstream and other media outlets), because of the blind obsession for Obama, the amount of control and money it is making the government, and "liberal/progressive" control (they yearn for, regardless of outcome). Longing for "huge government" and more liberties taken away, leading America farther down the Socialist Road, there is no oversight and the media is M. I. A..

President Obama is killing democracy and capitalism, one idea/bill at a time. People have to start calling Congressmen, Senators, the White House, write blogs, letters, and go above the "regular day's duties," in order to stop this madness. Coupled with the above information and countless undertow of big government, closed door decisions, America is slowly becoming a government state, not a democracy. America is going down a road, in which it may never be able to come back. Electing "Saturday Night Live" comedians to the Senate (Al Franken), no debating over anything the Obama White House does not deem necessary, and watching the media covering Michael Jackson's death five-six-seven days in a row (while Iran, N. Korea, the Iraqi pull out, and other things are not covered at all), show just how America is being taken apart like a set of "Lincoln Logs." It is up to you, because the government is on it's way to damage people, at every level of their lives. The government wants the power to say whether, or not, you can sell your house the way it is (with "Cap & Trade" a person will have to retro-fit your house, to be "Green"), how you can sell your car (then what kind of car you can buy after, and if you do not buy that car, you will be taxed at a higher rate), breaking countless promises and not being held accountable ("I will not tax anyone, who makes under $250,000, ever," is what Obama said in the primaries, but "Cap & Trade" will tax every person in the country, from the food they eat, to how they live) to the kind of foods and medicines (over the counter, Tylenol, and prescription medications, Vicodin) a person can take. Is this the way Americans want to live? Are Americans able to make the choice, or not, on what medicines they want to buy (over the counter)? What their kids learn at school, or not?

If you didn't like George W. Bush's way of leading the country (listening to phone calls and the other things, which did not infringe on daily life, but were more towards protecting the country), then you will be utterly flabbergasted, after two years of Barack Obama's Presidency. His "change" has no "Hope", it is just changing your life, to be under more and more governmental control. It seems like every big screen movie has a faux life of about five to seven years. After the five to seven years, the movies are becoming part of the American (possibly the world's) landscape. "V for Vendetta" came out just four years ago, but now it doesn't look so fictional anymore (as the government wants to tell you what to do and control you more and more). Don't believe me, go watch that movie, then think about what America would be like if "Cap & Trade", another "Stimulus Bill", and the "Obama-Care/Universal Health Care" is all passed. Why do you think Barack Obama wanted all of these things passed in his first year? He wants it all done, in order to have it in place and law, so it will not be able to be challenged (hence, passing bills in Congress without reading them, four times, in six months). Think about it!
