Who, exactly, is out of touch with average Americans?

Obama says rich man, Mitt Romney, is out of touch with average Americans. But wait a minute, the Obamas Live like royalty! So who exactly is out of touch?

Watch this video to learn about the lavish lifestyle of Barack and Michelle Obama.

Hypocritical? We need a bigger, louder word!

I think it was just a few weeks ago that I saw the Obama Media shills falling over themselves to characterize Ann Romney as an out of touch rich woman.  They showed a photo of her wearing an expensive designer blouse. Really? Well now, that does indeed tell us all we need to know about the Romneys. Are you with me on this? Ann Romney buys expensive clothes! It’s disgusting. Outrageous. Hasn’t anyone told her that she is required to buy her clothes at Walmart or Goodwill or, you know, where we the people buy ours.

But I have a few bothersome little questions for the Obama Media shills. Wasn’t FDR a rich man? Yeah, I know he was because I’m up on this stuff and I even visited his estate in Hyde Park, NY years ago. Yes, he was a very rich man. So why didn’t that bother the media? Oh yes, then there is John F. Kennedy. The Democrats and their media refer to him as JFK. (Ever notice how they like to use initials for their big stars?) Anyway, why didn’t JFK’s millions bother the media? Then of course there is John Kerry. He’s another super rich guy. (They couldn’t use “JFK” for Kerry. It was already taken.) So why didn’t that bother the media? Come to think about it, our richest presidents were all Democrats! Oh, I get it, it doesn’t count if you are a Democrat. Stupid me.

Listen, this is about as pure as hypocrisy can get. Our very first president, George Washington, was one of the richest men in the country. Hmm, wonder where he bought his clothes? Does anyone really think that Franklin Roosevelt or John Kennedy shopped for clothes in bargain basements? Do you think that John Kerry or any other rich people do?  The Obamas certainly don’t and the Romneys should not be expected to either. Would you if you were rich? It’s ridiculous.

This is just one more bogus political trick from Barack Obama. These “rich man” charges that Obama and his henchmen keep throwing at Romney are part of a Marxist style class warfare strategy designed to divide our nation and pit Americans against Americans. It is right out of Saul Alinsky’s Rules For Radicals, which, by the way, Barack Obama used to teach. It is sad but true: Our president will say and do virtually anything to stay in power. It is not about what is best for our country, it is about Barack Obama and his plan to “transform” America into something entirely different than what has served us so well for 236 years—what has made us the greatest nation in world history.

So every time you hear him or his henchmen attack Mitt Romney for being rich, think of the video you saw here and what you read here. Remember all the rich Democrat presidents and presidential candidates. Remember how Barack and Michelle Obama live. Oh and while I’m at it, did you know that Mitt Romney gave far more to charity than Barack Obama and Joe Biden, combined? Just saying. No, I didn’t get that information from the Obama Media.

Why Does Obama Hide His Records?

It is unprecedented

The Obama school records are still sealed! So are his health records. Most if not all presidential candidates and presidents—directly or indirectly—make their school and health records available to the American people. Bush did, Kerry did, Gore did, and so on. Yet Barack Obama—a candidate and a president who has repeatedly told us how transparent he is—absolutely refuses to release his records. So the obvious question is: What Is President Obama Hiding?

Many have tried and all have failed.

Media reporters, journalists, political organizations, and more, have followed every lead and procedure in pursuit of Mr. Obama’s school and health records without success. His records are either missing entirely or they have been sealed by Obama’s lawyers. In either case, the result is the same: Our president does not want you to see them.

Let’s take a look …

Obama’s High School Records and SAT Scores

Barack Obama attended one of the best private high schools in Honolulu, Punahou School. He has refused to release a single transcript or his SAT scores to the public. Many citizens and media people have tried to get them and all have failed.

Financial aid and scholarship money

Candidate and President Obama has refused to release his financial aid and scholarship records for both Punahou School and Occidental College. His refusal has created an ongoing controversy, which suggests that Obama may have enrolled at Occidental College as a foreigner as opposed to a U.S. citizen in order to receive foreign student aid.

World Net Daily reports:

“In a legal action, handled largely by Gary Kreep of the U.S. Justice Foundation, officials at Occidental College were served with a demand to produce records concerning Barack Obama’s attendance there during the 1980s because they could document whether he was attending as a foreign national.”

When Mr. Kreep petitioned Occidental demanding the Obama records, Obama’s lawyers managed to have the petition thrown out. Hence, Obama’s Occidental College transcripts and financial records remain sealed. Then in 1991 when Obama’s literary agent published a booklet that listed Obama as having been “… born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii” the “foreign national” controversy was reignited. No wonder!

Obama’s Columbia University records plus thesis

Twenty year old Barack Obama transferred to Columbia University from Occidental College in 1981. Once again, many tried and all failed to obtain Obama’s records. As always, they were (and are) sealed. Here’s what the New York Sun had to say in September of 2008:

“The Obama campaign has refused to release his college transcript, despite an academic career that led him to Harvard Law School and, later, to a lecturing position at the University of Chicago. The shroud surrounding his experience at Columbia contrasts with that of other major party nominees since 2000, all whom have eventually released information about their college performance or seen it leaked to the public.”

• Obama’s thesis on “Soviet Nuclear Disarmament” was and remains sealed.
• Obama’s Harvard Law School Records were and remain sealed.
• Obama’s LSAT scores were and remain sealed.

Obama’s Scholarly Articles at the University of Chicago

No scholarly articles by Barack Obama have been found even though he lectured at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004.

Obama’s Medical Records

Candidate Obama—now President Obama—has refused to release his medical records. In doing so he has broken a very long standing practice of presidential candidates and presidents. It’s simple: They release their medical records—that is, until now.

Obama’s Passport

A clear, fully visible passport of Barack Obama is yet to be released. An unclear, blurry version of it was released on the White House website in 2010.

The most amazing thing of all

Of course it is remarkable on its face that our president blatantly hides these very common documents from us. But the most amazing thing of all is that he gets away with it! Millions of American citizens are so taken in by this man that they are in complete denial of the import and magnitude of his arrogance and his complete disregard for we the people. While he, essentially, says “Screw you.” – his followers say, “Oh what’s the big deal?” It is not only unprecedented, it is a sad commentary on our culture. Where are the grownups? Where is the Great Generation? We are in dangerous waters.

This story also points up the unusually high levels of political ignorance in America today. Many reliable post Election 2008 polls found that millions of Obama voters knew virtually nothing about our history, our system of government, our leaders, or current affairs in general. Of course that explains a lot. It was our first “American Idol Presidential Contest.” Now, three years and seven months later we are on the verge of economic collapse. Yet, ignorance is still alive and well. Far too many among us still don’t realize how alarming our situation is. For them, I will say this only once: Another four years of Barack Obama will most likely destroy the United States of America as we have known it for 236 years. Do you think that is hyperbole? Crazy? I wish it was but the state of our economy, debt, culture, political corruption, and lack of real leadership tells a different story. Barack Obama should never have been elected and the last four years of his presidency should convince all non-radical, informed voters that he must not be elected again.

See, “How Obama Got Elected“

Do not listen to the far left propaganda when they tell you that anyone who opposes Obama is a racist. This is not a racial issue. I have fought against bigotry in all forms my entire life! This is an ideological issue. It is between what our founders designed—what has made us the most fair and the most successful nation in world history—a constitutional, small federal government republic, versus a big central government made up of powerful politicians who think they know more than we the people. It is an old story. It is exactly what our founders fought against. It is simple: Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The more power we give our politicians, the more corrupt they will become. Believe it because history has proven it over and over again and Barack Obama is at the very least a big government politician. To think otherwise is naïve.

Final thoughts …

All Americans should demand the release of Barack Obama’s records. Whether some of you like to hear it or not, Barack Obama has a long history of deception—including his refusal to release his school and health records. You can find countless examples of it here on this website and we have not even scratched the surface. It is not hype. It is all well documented. Make no mistake, ignorance is our most dangerous enemy. I fully understand how hard it can be to accept the truth, but if we really care about our great country, we must face up to every truth about every one of our leaders and there is no better place to start than with our president.

Here is what the Washington Times had to say.

Final final thoughts …

People hide information about themselves because they don’t want others to know it. The reasons for their secrecy cannot be known for certain without having access to the information. If the reputation and character of the secretive person is important to other people, the mere fact of the secrecy becomes important. Moreover, the perceived significance of the hidden information grows the longer the information remains hidden. People then assume that the hidden information must be damaging or else it would be released.

During the 2004 presidential campaign, Senator John Kerry, the Democrat nominee, refused to release his college transcripts. His reasons for the secrecy became clear six months after he lost the election when, under continuing pressure, he finally released them.

Here’s the story:

The media and the Kerry campaign created a narrative that portrayed Kerry as a smart intellectual and his opponent, George W. Bush, as someone less than that—even dumb. It was an old Liberal, Saul Alinsky strategy: Attack the competency or character of your opponent instead of debating the issues. They had, unsuccessfully, used the same strategy against Ronald Reagan. It would fail against Bush as well. Even worse for Kerry, when his transcripts were made public six months after the election, they revealed that the “brilliant” John Kerry received four D’s in his freshman year alone, including (of all things) in his political science course! Yet Bush had received just one D during his four years at Yale and it was in Astronomy. Kerry’s response to inquiring reporters was, “I always told my Dad that D stood for distinction.” Right.

Yet, amazingly, Al Gore used the same strategy when he ran against Bush and, once again, it backfired. When Gore’s transcripts were released, it became painfully apparent to the Liberal intelligentsia that Bush had also outscored Gore! What did my mother used to say? Oh, yeah, “Some people never learn.”

NOTE: Obama supporters like to point out that, technically, the school records are not “sealed.” Apparently no court of law has officially sealed them. Of course this does not change the fact that the records are still confidential and unavailable to the public. Also, according to one source Mr. Obama did release a summary of his medical records in which his personal physician “… pronounced him to be in “excellent health …”

ANOTHER NOTE: I said earlier that George W. Bush had released his college records but according to reliable sources Mr. Bush did not release them; instead someone from within Yale University leaked them.

You decide

The Democrats fell over themselves to find any excuse to call President George W. Bush dumb. Like nasty little kids, they jumped at any and every perceived misstep and when they couldn’t find any, they simply made them up.

The really interesting thing is that when it comes to Barack Obama, “the smartest president ever”, there is no need to look hard for missteps or to make anything up. He does it all by himself and it’s all real. So I wonder: Is President Obama smart?

To Democrats: I know it’s really hard for you, but do try to be honest and objective; you might actually learn something valuable. So why not give it try? Here’s a fair “Bush versus Obama” little dumb contest.

Some things to consider …

• If George W. Bush had said he had visited 57 states and he had one more to go, would you have wondered if he was a U.S. Citizen? Would you have brushed it off as something irrelevant? Really? The man wanted to be our president! What could Obama have been thinking? Did he mean 47 states and one to go? Nope, that wouldn’t work either. Then what?
• If George W. Bush had pronounced the word “corpsman” three separate times in a speech to military corpsman the way it is written instead of [kawr-muhn ] – the correct pronunciation – would you have continued to insist that Harvard graduate, Barack Obama, was “the smartest president ever?”
• If George W. Bush had given Prime Minister of Great Britain, Gordon Brown, a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?
• If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, wouldn’t you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?
• If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia , would you have approved? No, no, no, don’t even try to spin it. Our president, Barack Obama, did bow to the King of Saudi Arabia.
• If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent “Austrian language,” would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?
• If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes, would you have approved?
• If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to Cinco de Cuatro in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the fourth of May (Cuatro de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, wouldn’t you have winced in embarrassment? Should I mention that Bush speaks Spanish fluently? Now I can hear you Democrats saying, “Too bad he can’t speak English fluently.” But of course he did and he does. He just chooses to not sound like a condescending, effete academic.
• If George W. Bush had misspelled the word “advice” (after being Harvard educated) wouldn’t you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and ‘potatoe’ as proof of what a dunce he is?
• If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, wouldn’t you have concluded he’s a hypocrite?
• If George W. Bush’s administration had approved a flight of Air Force One to fly low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, wouldn’t you have wondered whether he actually got what happened on 9-11?
• If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed so he could get through a press conference, wouldn’t you have laughed and said this is more proof of how incapable he is on his own—and perhaps controlled by smarter people behind the scenes? But it gets worse: Obama actually used a teleprompter in front of a class of elementary students! Okay kids, if you want to look smart, this is how to do it.
• If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans wouldn’t you want it made into a major ongoing
  political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?
• If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?
• If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt in one year, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, would that have been OK with you?
• If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have applauded his knowledge of economics?
• If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan holdings of GM stock by 90% in order to give the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have thought that was a good idea? Wouldn’t you have cried “crony capitalism?” Wouldn’t you have called him corrupt?
• If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have thought that was romantic and charming?

So is Obama smart? Tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can’t think of anything? Don’t worry. He did all this in 9 months. Now, almost three more years have gone by and when I get a chance, I’ll update this fabulous record of our brilliant president. The good news is that I don’t have to even make this stuff up. Not that I would anyway—like some people I know.

No-common-sense, naive, uninformed voters put this man in office. Let’s hope they wake up before our country is completely destroyed. So much for empty “Hope and Change” slogans.

We really, honestly cannot afford to reelect Barack Obama!

After just 3 years and 7 months of Obamanomics we are on the verge of economic collapse. That’s not hyperbole my friends; it is the unavoidable truth. Forget about what he inherited. Reagan inherited a similar situation and he turned it into the longest peace-time continuous period of economic growth in U.S. history. Obamanomics has failed on a scale reminiscent of the 1930’s and if we don’t grow up, face the facts, and make some seriously mature decisions, America may never recover. (See Obama Economic Record)

I think it instructive to read the following. It was written as a cautionary tale during the 2008 Presidential Election.

Originally posted during the 2008 election campaign.

A worrisome opinion on our Presidential Election 2008:

So America, are we really going to do something incredibly self-destructive, like elect a radical politician from Chicago who is probably the least qualified presidential candidate ever?

Please forgive me for being just a tiny little bit concerned and for thinking that this would be the most irresponsible thing we could possibly do. In fact, it concerns me so much that I asked as many Barack Obama supporters as I could find to tell me why they would vote for him. Here is what they told me:

• “He has a good voice.” Someone actually told me that!
• “He’s a great speaker.” He almost always uses a teleprompter to deliver carefully constructed speeches.
• “He is a good debater.” So why don’t we just have an “American Idol Debater Contest” and the winner gets to be Commander-In-Chief of the most powerful military force in the history of the world? Forget about silly things like experience and other foolish qualifications.
• “I like what he says.” Since he has no record of significant accomplishment, why should we believe he will or can keep any promises he makes? (See: Obama’s Broken Promises. Now there is a record.)
• “He’s black and it would be really good to have a black president.” Yes, it would be great, but how about a black president who is actually qualified to be president? There are many such men and women in our country right now, but Barack Obama is not one of them.

Look, I want to know as much about the candidates as I can. Yet, what every Obama supporter I spoke with left out was, “He is the most qualified candidate.” No one even mentioned it! So I asked some more questions:

• Does it matter that he has not even finished his first term in the senate? (Answer: No.)
• Does it matter that he has missed 306 votes and has spent most of his time in the senate running for president? (Answer: No.)
• Do you care about his very real history of radical associations? (Answer: No.)
• Does it matter that both Hillary Clinton and his running mate, Joe Biden, said that he is not qualified to be the President of the United States? (Answer: No.)

You get the idea. So what is going on here? Well, apparently, we have become an “American Idol” nation. (See: How Obama Got Elected.) Too many of us are acting like characters in a Hollywood movie instead of responsible citizens of the most precious nation in world history.

This is not complicated, folks. One candidate is eminently qualified to be president and the other is seriously unqualified. One candidate has spent most of his life fighting for political reform. The other candidate has no such record and has spent most of his short time in the senate making grandiose speeches full of promises in order to persuade you to make him the most powerful man in the world.

Come on America, we are not in a Hollywood movie and this is not an “American Idol” contest. Let’s get serious. Are we really going to do something incredibly self-destructive in presidential election 2008, like elect the least qualified presidential candidate ever?

That was then. Let’s get it right this time!
