If you love your children, think hard and long about this president. Long after we leave this planet, they and their children will inherit his legacy.
Another four years of this president, is surely humankind's biggest political nightmare. The inventory of mismanagement is so long, one wonders where to start and how to prioritize the list. Where does one start first? Obama the world citizen, Obama the economic leader or Obama the con artist? Another question that jumps to mind is how does somebody with no track record, zero achievement and armed with a disarming smile and a gift of the gab become president of the US? Really, has Hollywood become so much part of the US psyche that millions of Americans were duped into thinking that an amateur with no credentials could run the worlds most powerful country?
Lets begin with achievements on the foreign policy front. The arab spring immediately jumps to mind. In less time than it takes to say "Jack Robinson!"this President chose his leftist version of human rights and democracy, and threw US Ally Mubarak under the bus. The consequence of this action has left tens of thousands homeless and dead as civil wars and uprisings pepper the Middle East. We are now looking at a new Muslim Brotherhood dominated Middle east. All the beautiful prose about democracy and change on CNN has disappeared. Next "achievement"was the liberation of Libya and the death of that "monster" Gaddafi. Today Libya is a lawless no man's land controlled by groups of armed thugs. Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood controlled parliament recently passed a law allowing men to have "parting" sex with their dead wives for up to six hours. The same parliament lowered the minimum age of marriage to 14. In Syria today, besides the usual run of the mill massacres of women and kids we are witnessing the latest Islamic fashion... "rape trucks" where young women are gang raped by groups of soldiers and opposition forces.
As for national security, one would think Obama pulled the trigger on Bin Laden. The only bi-partisan survivor in US politics today is the national security apparatus. Dating back to the killing of bin Laden, the administration’s intelligence apparatus has been leaking like a sieve and always on stories that cast Obama as a kind of warrior king. Since then, the leaks on national security have been so over the top that Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., at a press conference lamenting a cascade of national security leaks: “This has to stop. When people say they don't want to work with the United States because they can't trust us to keep a secret, that's serious.” As the election gets closer, we hear details of "kill Lists" and the "Stuxnet" computer virus in Iran. Now special prosecutors have been appointed to investigate leaks that are placing loyal and brave American lives in danger. Its clear who benefits from these leaks. It's not the national security apparatus, not the Republicans and definitely not the American people.
Picture the "man of vision" Barack Obama, standing before the cameras. First he raises his head to the right. Then to the left. And then, looking down his nose like some ancient messiah, makes some wondrous philosophical statement that leaves us dumbfounded. This is followed by that marvellous white toothed smile and everybody thinks "what a nice man!" Folks, how many times can one be played by this charlatan? He and his secretary of state Clinton have spent the last 3+ years arrogantly lecturing the Russians and Chinese on human rights. Its not what they say, but how they say it. Now these folks are giving him the finger. Same story with the US congress. (For the record, The Dems had control of both the house and the senate for two full years). And one might enquire why this is all happening? Its simple. They look at the figures and understand how badly the US economy has been mismanaged.
One does not have to be a rocket scientist to understand the figures. In the US today, it takes about $105 of debt to create $100 dollars of GDP. And now this economic genius wants to create even more debt to support Wall Street and the banks (Yep! Believe it or not). Imagine a collapsing stock market in an election year. Of course he spins it by telling all that he is caring for the underdog. What BS! The figures speak for themselves. The National Debt has now increased more during President Obama's three years and five months in office than it did during 8 years of the George W. Bush presidency.
As part of his "Win the Future" program, Mr. Obama called for "taking responsibility for our deficits, by cutting wasteful, excessive spending wherever we find it." If Mr. Obama wins re-election, and his budget projections prove accurate, the National Debt will top $20 trillion in 2016, the final year of his second term. If GDP grows at an annual rate of 3%, it will take $120 of debt to create $100 dollars of GDP. (similar to Italy). More simply put, a household that earns $100,000 will need loans of $120,000 to support that income. Bottom line, the US is heading into bankruptcy and the American dream is becoming a nightmare.
And who is it that supports this president, besides the super elitist left media and the occupy stoners? His largest support base are the public sector unions. Let's take the average municipal worker in Wisconsin. These folks can retire after 25 years of service and continue to receive full salary and healthcare for the rest of their lives. Millions of parasites swarming all over the US economy and sucking the life out of hard working families and their children. Almost 50% of US citizens don't pay federal income taxes while Obama campaigns for the other 50% to pay their fair share. The Greek socialists would be proud of these figures.
In conclusion, its clear to anyone with an inkling of common sense that all this man cares about is re-election. If he is elected for four more years, extinguish the lights. The nightmare will quickly metamorphose into reality.
There is hardly any mental misery worse than that of having our own serious phrases, our own rooted beliefs, caricatured by a charlatan or a hireling - George Eliot

The Peanut Gallery
Statements, comments and forecasts that have no substance, but just might turn out to be relevant.
1. President Obama keeps talking about victory in Afghanistan. What victory? In fact he is claiming credit for the withdrawal of US forces and ending the conflict.The facts are as follows. When Obama took office there were 33000 troops in Afghanistan. He increased that threefold to over 100,000 troops and recently announced the withdrawal of 30,000 troops. PG: Is there any doubt that when US troops come home, the Taliban will claim the victory and the country. What a waste of life and money.
2.The French housing market would be the next bubble to pop if the European Central Bank increases interest rates, or if markets begin to perceive the same fundamental weaknesses in France as they currently do in Spain, analysts at Danske Bank wrote in a market note. House prices saw only a minor fall during the financial crisis, and in 2009 they started rising again, to reach new all-time highs in the third quarter of 2011 – up 121 percent since 2000, with prices in Paris rising at the fastest pace.
3.EGYPTIAN husbands will soon be legally allowed to have sex with their dead wives - for up to six hours after their death. The controversial new law is part of a raft of measures being introduced by the Islamist-dominated parliament. It will also see the minimum age of marriage lowered to 14 and the ridding of women's rights of getting education and employment. PG: This will be part of the Obama legacy. He is directly responsible for this lunacy. Mubarak knew what he was dealing with!
4.China's Watergate -- A top Chinese official is accused of wiretapping the president of China. The man who was thought to be the future president of China has been caught red-handed in a crime: wire-tapping the president of China. Along with this crime up to $180 billion is missing, and it is thought that there is a connection. China is the only dictatorship without one man (the dictator) in charge. China is ruled by a collection of dictators, and therein lies a problem -- fierce and deadly competition.
5.Five men were arrested April 30 in connection with a plot to destroy a bridge outside of Cleveland, Ohio. The men were charged with conspiracy and attempted use of explosive material to damage physical property affecting interstate commerce. The suspects are anarchists who were noticed and approached by an FBI informant during an Occupy protest in Cleveland on Oct. 21, 2011. PG: The Occupy movement has turned into a cover for anarchists and stoners. If the unemployment picture does not improve, we could be witnessing an upswing in the cycle of violence. Needless to say, we all know who these parasites will be voting for come election time!
6.Iran's ambassador to the UN has lodged a complaint against Israel at the Security Council on Friday, slamming Defense Minister Ehud Barak and other Israeli officials for remarks about a potential strike on the Islamic Republic. From Iran's official FARS news agency: Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Hassan Firouzabadi said threats and pressures cannot deter Iran from its revolutionary causes and ideals, and stressed that the Iranian nation will remain committed to the full annihilation of the Zionist regime of Israel to the end. PG: Dead silence from Barak Hussein Obama, even while it is clear that Iran has reached the required enrichment percentage.
7.Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback has signed a law aimed at keeping the state's courts or government agencies from basing decisions on Islamic or other foreign legal codes, and a national Muslim group's spokesman said Friday that a court challenge is likely. PG: Good man Brownback! Sharia law is not religion. Its a political way of life. In fact its a straightforward challenge to western freedoms.
8.U.S. job growth slowed sharply in May, a sign of a sputtering recovery that may increase pressure on the Federal Reserve to prop up the economy. The unemployment rate, ticked higher by one-tenth of a percentage point to 8.2%, the first increase since June 2011. "This is what a jobless recovery looks like," said Nomura Securities economist Jeffrey Greenberg. The U-6 rate ((more truthful) is at 14.8%. The Euro-zone unemployment is at 11%. PG: In case the left has not worked it out, business creates employment, governments create unemployment.
9.While the world is sitting on an economic powder keg, President Obama and his Hollywood advisors are campaigning for Gay rights and free contraception. This guy is so out of his depth, its frightening. Even more frightening is that about 45% of the US still support him.
10.TOKYO – It must have been a wild ride. Japanese media say a Harley-Davidson motorcycle lost in last year's tsunami has washed up on a Canadian island about 4,000 miles away. "This is unmistakably mine. It's miraculous," Yokoyama told Nippon TV when shown photos of the motorcycle. Yokoyama lost three members of his family in the March 11, 2011, tsunami, and is now living in temporary housing in Miyagi prefecture (state).

The Peanut Gallery
Statements, comments and forecasts that have no substance, but just might turn out to be relevant.
1.Islamic radicals in Germany have launched an unprecedented nationwide campaign to distribute 25 million copies of the Koran, translated into the German language, with the goal of placing one Koran into every household in Germany, free of charge. The mass proselytization campaign -- called Project "Read!" -- is being organized by dozens of Islamic Salafist groups located in cities and towns throughout Germany, as well as in Austria and in Switzerland.
Salafism is a branch of radical Islam, practiced in Saudi Arabia, that seeks to establish an Islamic empire (Caliphate) across the Middle East, North Africa and Europe -- and eventually the entire world. The Caliphate would be governed exclusively by Islamic Sharia law, which would apply both to Muslims and to non-Muslims. PG: And so the decline begins....It begins by appeasing a crocodile.
2.Relations between Iran and its northern neighbour Azerbaijan have also become strained, with each accusing the other of preparing “terrorist” actions. For example, last month Azerbaijan’s national security ministry said 22 Azerbaijani citizens had been arrested on suspicion of cooperating with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards “to commit terrorist acts against the US, Israeli and other Western states’ embassies and the embassies’ employees.” Tehran is also unhappy over Baku’s ties to Israel, and its purchase of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Israeli military weapons and equipment. ($1.6 Billion).
3.The Supreme Court signaled Wednesday that it might uphold a key element of Arizona's immigration law, as justices across the board suggested the state has a serious problem on its hands and should have some level of sovereignty to address illegal immigration. The justices strongly suggested Wednesday they are not buying the Obama administration's argument that the state exceeded its authority, with Chief Justice John Roberts at one point saying he doesn't think the federal government even wants to know how many illegal immigrants are in the country. PG: More supreme court trouble for Obama?
4.In November, California voters will have the chance to vote for or against capital punishment. Two months ago the state of Connecticut became the 17th state to abolish capital punishment. Since 1973, 46,586 murders have been committed in Connecticut. Of these only 66 have led to conviction. And only nine of the convicted have received the death penalty. PG: Why bother with any form of punishment?
5.The Palestinian Authority TV children's program The Best Home featured a child reciting a poem promoting Pan-Arabism. The poem, by an Egyptian writer, included the following words:
"Our enemy, Zion, is Satan with a tail." PG: Two State solution? Speak to the hand.
6.Former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh said the 2011 Arab Spring uprisings brought destruction to the nations in which they occurred and that Yemen's own revolt cost the country billions of dollars in lost revenues, AP reported April 22. PG: From the horses mouth.
7.With little public attention, dozens of universities and law-enforcement agencies have been given approval by federal aviation regulators to use unmanned aircraft known as drones, according to documents obtained via Freedom of Information Act requests by an advocacy group. The more than 50 institutions that received approvals to operate remotely piloted aircraft are more varied than many outsiders and privacy experts previously knew. They include not only agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security but also smaller ones such as the police departments in North Little Rock, Ark., and Ogden, Utah, as well the University of North Dakota and Nicholls State University in Louisiana. PG: Big Brother....
8.A new company backed by two Google Inc. billionaires, film director James Cameron and other space exploration proponents is aiming high in the hunt for natural resources—with mining asteroids the possible target. The venture, called Planetary Resources Inc., revealed little in a press release this week except to say that it would "overlay two critical sectors—space exploration and natural resources—to add trillions of dollars to the global GDP" and "help ensure humanity's prosperity." The company is formally unveiling its plans at an event Tuesday in Seattle. PG: There were snickers when Newt Gingrich suggested something similar. Looks like he is not alone...
9.An infant born with six legs in Pakistan had four of his extra limbs successfully removed by doctors, the International Business Times reported. Baby boy Umar Farooq had been born with a rare genetic disorder called polymelia – a condition that affects only one in a million babies.
Polymelia is a condition in which an embryo starts as conjoined twins in the womb. One of the twins eventually disintegrates, leaving behind extra limbs that get attached to the remaining fetus.
10.Kulula Airlines, based in Johannesburg, is offering a free ticket for a man's fourth wife if the entire family flies together between the city and Cape Town. The ad reads, "Not only will you get a great deal on kulula.com flights for your first three wives, but your fourth wife will fly free, mahala, on the house." The stunt, which runs until April 30, coincides with South African president Jacob Zuma's marriage to his fourth wife over the weekend. Zuma has been married six times in total, but one of his wives committed suicide in 2000, and he divorced his second in 1998. PG: What a world we live in....

Preposterous Predictions
This blog is for fun. If 7 out of 10 predictions turn out to be correct, credit will go to the Peanut Gallery who constantly make unscientific forecasts.
1.Employment stats in the US will not improve this year. Obama will be a one term president, to be replaced by default. The Peanut Gallery predicts that whoever opposes Obama will be the next president.
2.Europe will slide into recession as their debt bubble grows. The continent is unable to compete with the emerging economies, and will struggle to prevent the Islamic influence from spreading. Expect economic unrest as the masses take to the streets. The beginning of the end for the European experiment in social democracy. Sorry folks, but socialism only works in good times and only for limited periods of time.
3.The Arab Spring (who remembers them?) will be confirmed as another non-event created by the western media. We will witness the birth of the Muslim Brotherhood as the dominant political force in the Middle East with the salafists snapping at their heels. Democracy takes generations and education to develop into a force. Neither of these is a priority in the Arab world.
4.Word for word what the Peanut Gallery wrote exactly a year ago "The Egyptian Military have no intention of relinquishing control of Egypt, with or without elections. They own 40% of the economic assets in Egypt, and it would be comparable to Obama announcing he won't be running for a second term." We stand by this analysis. We further stand by the analysis that the removal of Mubarak was a military coup, compounded by the ineptness of an American president's belief that Egyptians were Americans wearing different clothing.
5.The Iran - Israel crisis is a smokescreen for a much larger confrontation developing between Sunni and Shiite Muslims. The US and Europe supporting the Sunni side while Russia backs the Shiites. The main battleground between the two sides will be in Syria. Regardless of how many cease-fires the UN arranges, the fighting will continue as Islam, in these regions, does not know or understand the word "compromise".
6.Oil will become just another commodity as natural gas and other alternatives replaces it as the major source of energy. Natural gas infrastructure enabling the easy transport and storage of LNG will dictate the economic priorities of most nations as fracking and other hi-tech methods of gas production develop. Their will be a massive over-supply of natural gas undermining the importance of oil. Consequently, political winds of change will sweep the planet.
7.Climate change is and will continue to play a part, creating unrest, shortages and trickle of refugees. This trickle will eventually become a river and then a flood as humanity in these areas look for alternatives. The water line is sinking in Yemen, Bahrein, Qatar, Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and The Sudan amongst others. The countries that have oil can buy their water. The others all appear to be involved in civil wars....
8. An intended consequence of the above, is that American forces will slowly abandon the Middle East and concentrate on Asia and South America, the countries where the next economic upswing is still in its infancy. The protection of trade routes is the top priority for the US economic establishment. More than 90% of commercial goods between continents do so by container ship. Fifty percent of these traverse the South China Sea. Expect to hear more about this area.
9.The forgotten people, who once assumed they were the centre of the universe, The Palestinians arabs, will continue to be forgotten, just as Israel will continue to grow in strength. The arabs of Judea and Samaria will cast their eyes in the direction of Jordan as an alternative. The rest of the world, sick and tired of the deceit and lies, will turn to the real problems of survival.
10. And finally, the greatest country to live, on the planet, Canada, will continue to prosper. Only 35 million inhabitants, enough food, water, land and raw materials for all and then some, are the envy of the planet. They will be partnered by well positioned Australia.

1.Employment stats in the US will not improve this year. Obama will be a one term president, to be replaced by default. The Peanut Gallery predicts that whoever opposes Obama will be the next president.
2.Europe will slide into recession as their debt bubble grows. The continent is unable to compete with the emerging economies, and will struggle to prevent the Islamic influence from spreading. Expect economic unrest as the masses take to the streets. The beginning of the end for the European experiment in social democracy. Sorry folks, but socialism only works in good times and only for limited periods of time.
3.The Arab Spring (who remembers them?) will be confirmed as another non-event created by the western media. We will witness the birth of the Muslim Brotherhood as the dominant political force in the Middle East with the salafists snapping at their heels. Democracy takes generations and education to develop into a force. Neither of these is a priority in the Arab world.

The Peanut Gallery
Statements, comments and forecasts that have no substance, but just might turn out to be relevant.
1.Germany is not making any dramatic shifts in its relationships, but is searching for alternative relationships. The most important alternative is Russia, which supplies energy to Germany. Russia also needs German technology and can use German entrepreneurial energy. Germany, with a declining population and a growing aversion to immigration, is looking for low labor cost locations for factories. Russia’s population is also declining, but even so has surplus labor that is unemployed or more often underemployed. Theirs is not a potential relationship, but an existing and intensifying one. Its ties with Russia may not replace Germany’s bond with the European Union, but a cornerstone relationship could develop between Russia and Berlin.
2. Saudi Arabia appears to be caught between a rock and a hard place. In the eastern provinces of this monarchy, the shiites continue their protests, supported by covert Iranian influences . But now in the Sunni south (forgive the pun) unrelated demonstrations are taking place by forces tiring of Salafist Islamic extremism. Women's groups demanding more privileges and younger generation students pushing for more political influence have taken to the streets. Add to that, the monarchists visible discomfort created by the continued political emergence of the Muslim Brotherhood as a political force. PG: Its raining. Lets see how the gulf monarchies avoid getting wet.
3.Russia and India will begin trading in domestic currencies in three years, Vladimir Dimitriev, the chairman of Russia's VEB bank, said March 29, Reuters reported. Dimitriev said Russia is considering trading in domestic currencies with BRIC partners. PG: this is an economic development of revolutionary proportions. What they are doing is taking the US Dollar out of the equation. Today all International transactions are transacted in USD and this is where dollar strength is centred. The party will begin when the debt comes due.
4.In the next five years, a total of $5.9 trillion in US debt will come due. The average rate of interest on the US debt is 2.2%. The average maturity on the Treasury's marketable debt is 62.8 months. The interest expense on US publicly held debt is $454 billion. The US is compounding themselves into eternity. What happens if or when interest rates rise, which they will? PG: And all Obama cares about, is his re-election. Anybody who deludes themselves otherwise, deserves what they get if he is re-elected.
5.The Indian Ocean is the world's energy interstate, across which passes crude oil and natural gas from the Arabian Peninsula and Iranian Plateau to the burgeoning, middle-class urban networks of East Asia. Though we live in a jet and information age, 90 percent of all commercial goods that travel from one continent to another do so by container ship, and half of those goods in terms of global tonnage -- and one-third in terms of monetary value -- traverse the South China Sea, which connects the Indian Ocean with the Western Pacific. Moreover, the supposedly energy-rich South China Sea is the economic hub of world commerce, where international sea routes coalesce. And it is the U.S. Navy and Air Force, more than any other institutions, that have kept those sea lines of communication secure, thus allowing for post-Cold War globalization in the first place. This is the real public good that the United States provides the world. PG: This is what makes the world go round. Not Trayvon Martin or whether contraception is paid for by government.
6.Today, for a Jewish person to buy a home or property in Judea, Samaria or Jerusalem, from an Arab, is a very complicated procedure. Under the Palestinian Authority, capital punishment is the accepted policy for those who sell property to Jews. Before the deal can become public, the Arab seller needs to relocate to another country, where he will be safe from assassins from his own community. PG: In any other non-arab country this would be a normal, unnoticed deal. The left wing media are outraged...that a Jew would have the audacity of buying from an Arab....
7. New York City police were Sunday investigating an "Occupy Wall Street" protester who made threats on Twitter about killing police as hundreds clashed the previous day with cops at Zuccotti Park. "We won't make a difference if we don't kill a cop or 2," Twitter user "Smackema1" posted about 11:40pm. PG: The truth is that these occupiers don't represent 99% or anybody else.
