Obama is an A$$

The A$$hole-in chief recently made a speech claiming that people who started their own business did not do it on their own.  This is the typical attitude of a person that has not done anything on their own their entire life.

Obama is an academic.  He has not had a real job since he was scooping ice cream at Baskin Robbins when he was 15.  I am willing to bet he didn't last at that job more that 2 months - because it was real work.

Sorry Obama - I started my own business on my own.  I received no assistance from the government.  Not from any level - the Federal, state, nor local government did not assist me in any form or fashion.  To be real - the government only made it more difficult to start a business.  They do not help people starting businesses.

As a business owner, I pay more taxes than people who do not own a business.  I have more regulations as to what I can and cannot do.

Only an IDIOT would claim that I did not do this on my own.

Mr. Obama - you have totally offended me - I expect an apology.  After all, I have created real life jobs (not government jobs that take 20-50 people to support by their taxes) .  That is something you cannot claim you have done.

Still, as pissed off as I am about the idiot-in-chief's comments,

Stay safe!

Obama May Not Make the Ohio Ballot

There has been a lawsuit filed in Ohio, claiming that Obama does not qualify for the presidential election ballot in 2012.  Before you groan and say something about birthers - his birth has nothing to do with it.  As a matter of fact, a lot of the evidence used to prove that Obama was born in Hawaii actually helps the case filed against him.

According to the complaint filed in Geauga County Ohio, Obama has been using a Social Security number that could not have possibly been legitimately issued to him.  The SSN 042-68-4425 was issued in the State of Connecticut between 1977-1979  (specifically March of 1977).  During this time Obama was never in Connecticut.  There is a mountain of evidence that shows the number was issued there during that time.  This is the same number used by Obama on his 2009 tax return.

Using this fraudulent number is enough to disqualify him from being on the ballot under Ohio Law.

I have no idea the merits of the case, or how it will be handled.  But people should be asking how a kid in Hawaii gets issued a Social Security number from Connecticut without being there.

Stay Safe!

Promises Fall Short

I remember when Obama promised my healthcare costs would be cut by $2500/year.  That didn't happen.  Personally, my health insurance is about 28% higher now than when Obama took office.  Most of it is thanks to the crap they have to do to comply with the new healthcare law.  The Federal government really has no business regulating health insurance companies, the states do that and did that just fine.  All they did was drive up costs.

In a span of 6 weeks, my health insurance company mailed me 7 different "notices" that they were required to send to me, even though only 3 applied to me and my policy.  They had to send them out, because idiot bureaucrats say so.

I do have a question.  What exactly is healthcare coverage.  I have read the law as it was passed, 3 times.  I never saw how coverage was defined.  Oh, there are bits and pieces about annual checkups and whatnot (which there is no empirical evidence that annual checkups reduce health care costs), but there is no definition of what being "covered" by health insurance means.  I suppose this mystery panel of bureaucrats makes that decision. Which brings a second question: how can they make me pay a penalty for not having something that is not defined by law?

I will admit that my policy is pretty crappy, but I cannot afford more - as a matter of fact, maybe I should just pay the fine, because that is a lot less than insurance coverage.

Oh well, more questions than answers - but stay safe!
