BUSH'S CRITICIZES THE MESSIAH ????

... And the entire Democrat part goes ballistic. Why even Hillary Clinton came to the defense of Barack Obama. Yesterday Bush was in Israel speaking on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Israel. During that speech he called out Barack Obama for saying that he would negotiate with terrorists and radicals. Now there's no argument here. That is exactly what Obama said.. he would go have some nice talks with the leaders of terrorist supporting nations, including Iran. Now Obama is predictably calling this a "false political attack."

But what has really ruffled Democrat feathers is Bush's analogy of negotiating with Hitler. Bush said. "As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American Senator declared: 'Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.' We have an obligation to call this what it is -- the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history." Oh how the liberals are whining. Some leftist idiots have even said that Bush has essentially compared Barack Obama to Adolph Hitler. Not so. Bush compared Obama to some Senator who thought it would have been a good idea to negotiate with Hitler... but this is too fine a difference for some leftists to understand. Nancy Pelosi is all upset because she believes Bush's comments were "beneath the dignity of the office of the president and unworthy of our representation."

But perhaps the most telling reaction came from Senator Joe Biden. He essentially called the comment horsesqueeze. But then he goes on to blame Bush for single-handedly causing the war against Islamic radicals: "He's the guy who's weakened us. He's the guy that's increased the number of terrorists in the world. His policies have produced this vulnerability the United States has." Wow. And I thought the United States was vulnerable when it was attacked on 9/11 ... since which point, it has been President Bush that has prevented another attack from occurring and steadfastly fought a war against those out to destroy our country and our Western culture.

As soon as Barack Obama is inaugurated he is going to legitimize these terrorist nations by engaging them in discussions. The only people who will benefit will be the terrorist leaders.

FOLLOW THE MONEY

Barack Obama has recently been bragging about the millions of dollars he got black-owned businesses in Illinois. Back in 2001, Barack Obama helped black owned investment firms in Chicago get a larger share of business with Illinois
state pension funds. It may not surprise you to find out that an owner of one of the investment firms is now a principal campaign fund raiser for the Obama campaign. John Rogers of Ariel Capital in an Illinois finance co-chair for Obama's presidential campaign. He's raised more than $200,000. The employees at his firm, that Obama once helped get state business. have now contributed $70,000 to his campaign. And that is just one firm. The other investment firms that Obama once helped have now raised $765,000 for his campaign. Let's also point out that Obama used to use their private jets at the time when it was still legal in a campaign to do so.

While Obama was doing all this bragging he somehow forget to mention that two of the firms he helped have since been dismissed for "underperformance."

You want to see some underperformance? Wait until you see Barack in action in the White House.

IS THE IMMIGRATION ISSUE BACK?

Senators Dianne Feinstein and Larry Craig are sponsors of an agricultural job amendment that essentially paves a wav for illegal aliens to gain amnesty. Yesterday the Senate Appropriations Committee added the provision to an Iraq spending bill. The bill would allow illegal aliens working in the agriculture industry to win legal status in the US.

Feinstein is complaining that 80,000 workers may soon have to go back home to Mexico... and she is upset about this? These people are criminals. They came here illegally, they stay here illegally, and they work her illegally. So let's do something nice for them .. .right?

Chairman Robert Byrd says that no matter how you characterize it, this amendment still amounts to amnesty. He says that these immigration issues should be addressed through regular order. No kidding. But Dianne and the other amnesty bed-wetters want policies like this to fly under the radar,.. what the American people don't know, they can't oppose. That's how ignorant they believe you to be - the majority of Americans opposed the amnesty bill last summer. but politicians will still find a sneaky way to make it happen.

THE PEOPLE VS. EXXON

Matt Lauer, in all his journalistic brilliance, interviewed the CEO of ExxonMobil Rex Tillerson. Lauer displays not only his ignorance but the ignorance of Americans like "Elaine from Pennsylvania." Elaine sent an email into the show, which asked Mr. Tillerson. "'How can you justify the record profits you're making when people can't afford to put gas in their cars to go to work?'" First off, what does this question imply? It implies wealth envy. Elaine insinuates that oil companies have to justify their earnings in a free market society and that they are evil for making money when others are "suffering." So Tillerson's response is exactly what you would expect and what I have been saying day in and day out ... profits are not large because of high profit margins. but because of high volume. Clearly Elaine (and possible Matt Lauer) does not have a basic understanding of profit margins. But Tillerson really puts things into perspective. He says. "[W]hen you take our profit of $40 billion [in 2007]. that's 1 0 cents on every dollar of revenue that we generate... That puts us about in the middle of most Fortune 500 companies, so we're not at the top in terms of profit per revenue; we're not at the bottom." Do you hear that, folks? For all of you whining and complaining about oil companies, in terms of profit per revenue, these companies are about in the middle of most Fortune 500 companies.

Leave it to NBC to feature an email from some economic dolt who couldn't write a cohesive sentence on the difference between a profit and a profit margin.

Matt Lauer then had another brainless point. Apparently the oil companies are expected to be held to different standards than other Fortune 500 companies because "a lot of Fortune 500 companies. Mr. Tillerson, don't so directly impact people's ability to go to work, do their jobs, feed their families and that sort of thing, and that's where the problem comes in," So now the industry must not rely on supply and demand (like other companies would), but must also make businesses decisions based on how Billy is going to get to his job at MacDonald's.

What we're seeing in Lauer's comments is the new liberal dogma that it is only OK to make profits so long as you're making that profit on something that people don't really need.

One last thing. Lauer suggests that Exxon isn't investing enough of its profits in finding ways to bring down prices. Well Tillerson throws that right back in his face saying that they would do more if they could gain access to more areas to apply their technology. Are any of you environmentalists listening? When do you want to start becoming a part of the solution rather than the problem?
