Update on my predictions for the Obama Presidency

I’ve divided this into sections…

Prediction Fulfilled:

- His approval numbers will be below 50% before the 2012 election

- We will see the credibility of U.S. Treasury Bonds, arguably the most secured investment, questioned with historical deficits

- Strategic ground forces will exit Iraq in accordance with the signed SOFA under President Bush, but support forces will remain indefinitely

- Blue Dog Democrats will be outcasts and will have to be courted for votes on tough economic issues

Partially fulfilled or In Progress

- We will see less than 50% of Americans paying income taxes

- The top tax bracket will be +65% in Federal Income Taxes, +80% in total income

- Unemployment will hit 10% by 2011 and will not see single digits until after 2013

- The DJIA will not return to +10K before 2012

- Guantanamo Bay may close, but a replacement will be erected in its place somewhere else in the world

- Obama will attempt but will be prevented from nationalizing Healthcare

- Obama’s stimulus package will pass but little of it will be spent before 2011

- Obama and his foreign policy team will embrace a less prominent role in international relations, bowing to the U.N. and failing to counter the rise of China, India, and Russia

No Progress or not enough know at this time:

- Obama will be re-elected under the perception that he ended the war in Iraq and the economy is in recovery

- Republicans will return to the Majority in the Senate and House by 2016

- When he leaves office there will be no more diversity in the U.S. Congress than there is today

- Obama’s policies will reduce the production of coal and the number coal related jobs by 2012

- Zero legislation will be passed impacting illegal immigration

- For the first time since the French Revolution, fewer people will enjoy freedom and liberty in the world 

- Iran and at least 3 other nation states will become nuclear capable

- The U.S. will suffer a terrorist attack, likely a dirty bomb in a major city center.

Navy SEALS deserve credit not Obama

As the media lauds Obama for the rescue of Capt. Richard Phillips from the Somali pirates, I ask for a dose of reality.

First, the Navy SEALS who rescued Capt. Phillips deserve the true credit for their actions. But, from personal experience I know the often the military operators don’t get or want the glamorous accolades. We see it as just doing our job.

Second, the Maersk Alabama is one of many ships that have been attacked and continue to be attacked. There an estimated couple of hundred captives held by these pirates. Won’t Obama save them too? He and his administration are praying, wait scratch that, hoping that this pirate business goes away now that they have their proclaimed victory. It may disappear from the headlines but their activity will not.

Welcome to a new day! No longer is public protest monopolized by the radical left-wing of this country. It is time to voice your outrage with Obama and the Democrats attempts to socialize this country. Stand up!

Chrysler solution sends $6B to Italy??

President Obama’s solution for the failing Chrysler company is force a brokered deal with Fiat SpA. Upon which he will transfer $6B in U.S. tax payer money to the Italian company to make them solvent?!?

Fiat has demanded strong concessions from the U.S. autoworkers unions or they’ll walk. If they get the concessions and the bailout money it is a win-win for Fiat and lose-lose for American workers. Has any news organization questioned the great one on this? Nope, because he is the opulent job creator.
