OBAMA’S CHOICE OF HAGEL LATEST QUESTIONABLE CABINET NOMINEE, CONSTITUENTS AFRAID TO CRITICIZE

 

In past adminsistrations someone who performed so poorly as Chuck Hagel in his hearing to take over as Secretary of Defense, would be rejected for a cabinet post. Yet, now it’s as if everyone gets a pass. With the exception of Susan rice, who smartly dropped out of the running for Secretary of State it seems like every one of Obama’s nominees now gets a rubber stamp. Obama’s pick for secretary of defense, Chuck Hagel, is a proponent of selective strikes, including drone kills, to maintain America’s edge in the war on terrorism without risking major troop deployments. He showed little knowledge of the sequestration and hardly defended his anti-Israeli stands.

 

John Kerry, who has had a strong anti-defense position in the past – rather surprising for a Secretary of State  nominee –  must have appeared as ‘jewel’ in comarioon to Hagel as he slid right through the nomination process, which is hardly a process anymore. And, now we have a possible sexual allegation against yet a third  potential cabinet member.  Yet, espite this all three are expected to succeed the ‘nomination’ process. One begins to wondre why they have a nomination process at all. Only susan rice as failed to make it and that’s only because she withdrew.

 

And, by the way,  why is it that virtually every cabinet member from the first term has quit Obama, including Hillary Clinton, after saying how well she did and how much she will miss her ‘amazing team.’ There’s  always a few turnovers during two term Presidential administratoiins but to see basciall the entire Cabinet seemsr un-Presidented.

 

Thank goodness for a few like Lindsay Graham who are not afraid to confront the obvious,
ie that Hagel is an incompetent replacement- and other issues, like Obama’s role in
Benghazi. Now that HIllary has finally spoken on Benghazi, Graham promises to hold Obama, the last man
NOT to talk, to the fire…

 

The fact of the matter is that Obama and his authoritarian administration have put fear
in , primarily, his own Democratic constituents. Even on the Republican side, only the few
Grahams and McCains are willing to risk the wrath – including that of the media,
which has gotten so behind the Obama administration its a joke. Imagine iof George W
was in the same shoes as Obama and how the media would have excorigated him.

 

 OBAMACARE – After the Fact

Now it comes out the obamacare, if we may call it that which is what most people
know it as, not only is causing layoffs around the country but will cost the average
family of five $20,000 a year – that’s $3,000 per person,
on average, or roughly $250 a month per person, which is more than many of us were/are paying
for their r own health insurance where they can ‘call their own shots,’ so to speak

 

  DRONE STRIKE REVELATIONS

 

 Seems that Obama has no problem risking other lives in his desire to kill terrorist leaders, even without full provocation,  witness the Benghazi debacle ,nd the 23 Navy Seals who, quietly, lost their lives,e tc.

22 VETS COMMIT SUICIDE DAILY, OBAMA SKEET SHOOTING, BEST SINGERS TODA

BEST OF TODAYS SINGERS

Forget Amcerican Idol, there are only a few good newer singers today. Here are a couple we like:

ALICIA KEYS – keeps vocal and other histrionics to a minimum. Has worked hard on her voice and keyboard playing to compete with best of vintage stars we don’t see alot any more… Great Star Bangled Banner at Super Bowl

JENNIFER HUDSON – Shades of Aretha. Ditto lighter on vocal histrionics 9as they do today)
– nice, clear, rich vocals…as on Ameroica the Beautiful at Super Bowl

 

OBAMA AND SKEET SHOOTING……

Did Obama run out last weekend to have picture of him made showing him skeet shooting after few believed his previous statement that he ‘always does it’? Hmmm…

22 VETERANS COMMIT SUICIDE EVERY  DAY – TIME TO ACT!

Astounding to hear latest reports that we lose 22 veterans a day to suicide?
A very troubling statistic when you figure it’s bad enough losing 1 or 2 troops
a week in Afghanistan. Seems like we should quickly get some better mental health
systems set up for our veterans. This would be a good avenue for Obama to
spend some time dealing with along with his guns issue.

<h1>HOSPITAL MAKES A</h1>
<h1>DIFFERENCE – CHOOSE BEST</h1>
<h1>HOSPITAL</h1>
&nbsp;

Many don’t consider they may have a choice of hospitals when going for  inpatient or outpatient visits, but one’s choice of hospital can make a big difference, sometimes a life altering difference.

&nbsp;

As the above chart indicates for a sampling of hospitals in the San Francisco Oakland East Bay Area, there is quite a range, from a high score of  62  at John Muir Concord to a low score of 44 at Sutter Delta medical center in antioch, for this small sampling. (Consomer Reports). There are at least two online safety score guides, ConsumerReports.org (as above) or <a href=”http://www.hospitalsafetyscore.org/”>http://www.hospitalsafetyscore.org/</a>   There are overall scores, as above, or using ‘A,B,C ‘ grading as   with http://www.hospitalsafetyscore.org/ , which are broken down specific categories where one can check the prominence of infections, frequency with which one must return to hospital following initial visit,  costs, etc. For ConsumerReports you may need to sign up with them, though it may be the easier of the two systems to follow.

&nbsp;

Surprisingly, some of the hospitals that you thought had great reputations may not be so popular with actual patients, themselves, who have spent time int he hospitals. Witness world reknown UCSF in San Francisco, which manages only a ‘B’ score (http://www.hospitalsafetyscore.org/) and John Muir Walnut Creek, which manages only a ’45’ (ConsumerReports.org)

<a href=”http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;index=books&amp;keywords=hospital&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;tag=ypc-20″ target=”_blank”>choosing a hospital</a><img style=”border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;” alt=”” src=”http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ypc-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1″ width=”1″ height=”1″ border=”0″ />

We recently had personal experience at the two John Muirs noted above.  We totally agree with the above nuimbers, finding John Muir Concord far superior, all around, as compared to John Muir Walnut Creek, surprisingly, despite the fact that the Walnut Creek has a brand new campus with the latest   surgical tools and procedures.  Of course, a major decision as to choice of hospital deals with the particular medical need, and different hospitals are also rated by medical procedure.

&nbsp;

So, next time you or your loved one must go to a hospital you may want to check one or both above reports.

WHY HEAVY ARTILERY TO EGYPT? 60 Minutes Love Fest, Death Panels

 

 

 

WHY ARE WE GIVING F-16s to EGYPT, WHOSE LEADER HATES ISRAEL?

 

Does it make any sense that we are arming new President Morrisey of Egypt with heavy duty rockets and tanks, especially when he has repeatedlyspoken out against Israel with extreme statements like the Jews descended from apes and pigs’ (taken right from the Koran and ‘The Holocaust never happened.’

And. what would Egypt even do with the guns? Shoot them at Israel?
They have no other enemies and we can’t think of what else they would
use them for. This is beyond bizarre that the Obama administration
would continue arming Egypt, even after Obama admitted that Egypt
is not a friend of ours. And, with our economy, it’s just
million dollars more in debt…

Sadly Obama administration believes that they can help democratize
Islamic nations like Egypt.  They need only look at the 60 year histroy of the ‘Brotherhood’  to  see that there never has been any indication of peace with Israel or even any one who is not a Muslim for that matter. Nice to be idealist but reality is reality. 

Asbad as Mubarik may have treated his people , Morrisey and the new
Islamic government is worse as we see by the continued civil insurrections.

And, then there are others like Senator mary Landreau of Louisiana who feel there’s no spending problem, ‘despite what Fox News says.’   Thus, the spending continues.. and when it goes for inapproriate things we wonder…  If my small business ran without budgeting I’d be in big trouble, yet the  U.S. government can continue on this way, affecting 300 million citizens!

 

 

OBAMA PROBLEM : It’s Largely in the Attitude.

As long as Obama makes everything about him
it’s going to be harder for im to get things done.
Instead of saying ‘I’m going to insist this gets done,’
as he stated to Las Vegas high schools 1-29
after flying across country in his jet just to make that speech.

If Obama tried saying ‘WE would like to work together
to get things done.’ That’s how legislation works. There’s
an old expression ‘ You woo with honey ‘

Obama’s big problem in getting the Republicans to
go along with things is his ATTITUDE. As good a
politician he may be as far as wooing voters (rightly
or wrongly) he makes everything about ‘ME’when it comes
to his constituents, including some Democrats lately.

Just try it President. A very simply thing.

 

 

60 Minutes Love Fest

It appears a carefully scripted interview featuring outgoing Secretary fo State Hillary Clinton with President Obama took place sunday night January 31 to help position Clinton in a better light for a likely run for President in 2016.

 Following what most objective viewsers must consider a meltdown by her in the recent Benghazi Congressional hearing, Clinton needed to go out on a positive note and Obama and liberal leaning 60 MInutes helped accommodate her,

 

Clinton spoke about how proud she is of how she performed as Secretary and the
position in which she left the country. One could easily ask whY and how?
Under Clintoon the U.S. lost two at least two long-time pro-american administrations
in Egypty in Libya. while they may have been dictatorships, at least the the
governemtns of Mubaric and Kadafi remained pro-Israel and helped keep their
geographical neighborhoods non-violent over the past few decades. Their ‘Muslim
Brotherhood’ replacements have already resulted in considerable bloodshed
including the loss of our Libyan ambassador Stevens and three other americans –
another black mark against
Clinton as it appears she and her fellow administrators might have been able
to prevent the deaths had they paid better attnetion to security reports.

 

Her admission to not liking to appear on Sunday morning talk shows and that ‘ it didn’t
matter’ what she did or didn’t do during the Benghazi affair hardly speaks well
for her. Even the one real notch in her belt, the killing of Bin Laden has come
into question as to whether it was the Bush administration that really set up
the intelligence that took Bin Laden, and some are now questioning the possible
torturous methods used in gaining information. Finally, under Clinton, the U.S.
lost more Navy Seals that in all prevous years coombined including 23 in one
incident along with over 1,000 military troops in Irag and Afghanistan,
where war and American deaths continue to mount.

 

Yes, Clinton travelled thousands of miles around the world during her tenure,
but what was really accomplished to make the world a safer place? It would
appear the U.S. has more enemies today than ever before while she leaves
with Israel in a precarious state, without a true friendly nation in its midst.
Meanwhile, the U.S. continues giving f-16 jets to Egypt and other weapons to our
enemies, which could likely be used against Israel -who else would they be
used against?. Meanwhile, our rather inept Congress praises Clintons – at least
with an outward display of words upon her exit as Secretary of State. And, if
things went so well and she wants to run for President, while is she leaving
her post?

 

In any case the 60 MInute ‘lovefest’ was no doubt an attempt by the left leaning
media – and Obama – to help clearthe ‘bad taste’of Clinton’s k Benghazi
testimony and position her for no less than a better legacy and possibleh Presidential
positioning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SARAH PALIN WAS RIGHT ABOUT DEATH PANELS

 

Prior tot he Obamacare debate, former Republican Vice Presidential nominee
Sarah Palin and others were widely critisized for stating that Obamacare
would result in older citizens being ‘sacrificed’ before their time.

 

Now , after the fact, now that Obama is well ensconsed in his second term
Presidency and the Democrats are in control they are all but admitting
this is one of the ways that Obamacare will have to be paid for, by letting
older population die as they get closer to their time

 

former secretary of state Robert Reich came out recently saying this in
so many words. The President can’t deny it. Taxking the rich can only cover so much
like 8 days out of a year. Something will have to be paid form other sources.

During the hour interview, Clinton managed NOT to answer the question if she felt guilty over Benghazi. Obama, long a rival of Hillary’s, looked odd suddenly playing up to Clinton, giving short, programmed answers like ‘Hillary was one of of the best Secretaries of State,’ ‘Hilllary is a strong friend.’ etc. It obviously was so staged to make the HIllary and Obama and Democrats look clean in front of their press friends and nation on Clinton’s exit. If things were such ,again, why is Hillary leaving the cabinet, as we will ask again and again.
