Another Stupid Idea from Obama!

Well, they just keep coming. Obama has now decided that in the middle of the biggest financial crisis in history, with the economy on the brink of collapse, that this would be a good time to put a huge new tax on all Americans. Yes, to stop the phantom menace global warming, Obama wants to put in place a cap and trade system, and to sell pollution 'credits' to CO2 'polluting' industries (like your local power company). Now, the power companies won't eat this huge new tax, so guess what? Your electric bills are going to skyrocket. Just what the economy needs right now! Having trouble paying the bills? Wait until Obama jacks up your utilities cost. Oh, and gasoline will be going up also. And that means all the goods transported by truck. Or rail. Or by air. All more expensive thanks to this genius. And the best part? It won't reduce CO2 emissions at all, it's just a new tax. Of course, since global warming is not real to start with, he can claim 100% success in eliminating it. Which will be a big comfort to the rest of us, sitting in our cold dark homes, hoping a stray cat comes by so we can get a nice meal for a change. Guess that's what he meant by hope and change.

Obama to push for Assault Weapon ban

After only a month in office, and with the economy sliding further into chaos, Obama's AG Eric Holder has just announced he intends to push for re-instating the 'Assault Weapons' ban, along with a ban on 'Cop killer' bullets and closing of the 'gun show loophole'. Of course, Obama said repeatedly that gun owners had nothing to fear from him, that he supported gun rights. I knew he was lying of course, and now he has made it clear that he was. The justification of this ban is to stop the violent Mexican drug cartels, who are armed with machine guns and grenades (as per the ABC news story). Of course, these have been banned for decades, so that is simply another lie. As far as 'cop killer' bullets, they never were sold to the public, they were law enforcement use only. In fact they were manufactured by a company founded by retired police. Holder expanded the media-hype term to include any bullet that can penetratebody armor, which means almost ALL rifle ammo. Just like the 'gun show loophole', which is not a loophole and has no connection to gun shows (it simply means private citizens who are not gun dealers can sell one or two guns per month to other citizens without federal dealer license or 4473 paperwork), Holder (and we must presume his puppet master) is a liar. Personally, I am shocked that Obama lied to get elected. Really, shocked.
