Update: Charles Woods

The story of Charles Woods seems to be blowing up all the sudden....good.  Every American should know about this telling event.  

It seems to have originally come from an interview on the Lars Larson show.  The audio in there if you want to hear it.

Im sure the mainstream media will try and bury this story but we have been going over and around them all campaign season anyway.

Forward it to every voter you know.

Our national disgrace....first hand

When America loses one of its brave soldiers, we sometimes forget that after the moment of silence, or the parade, or the 21 gun salute, there are families that must get up every day and feel the tragedy of that loss again, and again.  Mothers and Fathers who must go on having out lived their child, Wives and Husbands who must continue their life without their best friend and partner, Sons and Daughters who will grow up with half their family.

If i was President, any time i spent with those who have lost someone in the defense of our country, would be treated as sacred.  My full respect and attention is the least I could offer someone who has given so much to the cause of freedom.  I would feel honored to know these Americans and they would know the appreciation of a grateful nation in every way i could possibly express it.

Why the focus on fallen heroes today?

Well, it seems another glaring flaw in Barack Obama and his administration is their treatment of these special families.

Forget the bad economy, or the questionable foreign policy, do you want a President who treats the Father of a lost Navy Seal like he doesnt care?  Add to it, the disrespect shown by his highest level representatives, and it sickens me exponentially more than any of his petty campaign lies.

The man i am speaking about is named Charles Woods.  His son Tyrone was killed while serving during the  terrorist attack in Libya.

This is his story.  I hope you read it because it says so much more about the current occupant of the White House than any campaign season, blogger rant, ever could.

America deserves better.

Hat Tip to The Blaze and The Weekly Standard

The difference between Presidents

You want to know why we liked George W. Bush even though he made some major mistakes and didnt seem to understand capitalism at times.

He was a leader and good man. He personally wrote to every single family that lost a soldier in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Sat down and spent time with a pen and paper to express his thanks to people who had paid the ultimate price for defending freedom.

That is how our side rolls.

It was never made public, never used to make Bush look good, and I guarantee that was by his orders.

You want to know how Obama handles this difficult job.

Form letter.

Yep, he just skips it. Not even a personal signature.

That is a disgrace and reason enough for him to lose in November.

Unfortunately for him, its reason #2974......still counting.

This one is a biggie for me.

Time for 120 rounds of golf, more fundraisers than any President ever, a vacation every other month, but not a minute for our fallen heros.

America is better than this man.

UPDATE:  Turns out it wasnt a time issue for Obama, but a priority one.  Seems that he had plenty of time to write a personal condolence letter to a rapper's family after his death.  Nothing against Heavy D, he occupies some cool memories from my college years, and the note was a nice gesture BUT-- If you cant be bothered to write to the families of our American heroes after they lose their life carrying out your orders, dont be passing them out to celebrities willy nilly.  It shows an immeasurable lack of judgment and a disturbing dearth of appreciation for whats important.

Our soldiers deserve better.

Mexico's President taking suck lessons from Obama

What kind of douche tool do you have to be to come to another country and bash its laws....especially when those laws are meant to clean up the mess you are creating.

Mexican President Felipe Calderon is an incompetent ass who's country is such a mess that he must come here and crawl up Obama's taint and beg for help every couple months. Mexico is a giant slum with a couple of American college student sponsored resort towns scattered throughout.

The Mexican people lost their ability to have a great country when then embraced socialist government so now they want to come here and vote socialists into power. I dont get it.

STFU Calderon or im digging up Reagan to come down to Mexico and tell them what a worthless piece of clueless ass baggery you are.

Did i mention the Democrats gave him a standing ovation while he bashed Arizona? A foreign leader criticizes America and Democrats applaud?

F'ing disgusting on so many levels.

Get it together GOP

Proof that the Republicans have some house cleaning to do themselves.

Why couldnt this fool have quit a couple weeks ago, before the primary? Way to go jerk store. Can we just get a couple of honorable people in our government please?

Could this guy be a bigger embarrassment?

Yeah....i guess he could be this guy....whose story just keeps getting uglier.

Nancy Pelosi says "its ok to be a bum now, someone else will pay for your health care"

Its this kind of liberal sleight of hand bullcrap that fires me up. Nancy Pelosi knows for damn well that she isnt paying for a thing. Its those few Americans that are actually still able to succeed in Obama's nation that will be footing the bill. Democrats will just take the credit as their cancerous methods destroy prosperity.


PS. Im a professional musician who lived without health care for a long time....voluntarily...in my 20's, beer and parties were my chosen expenses. Having some working stiff pay for my health care would have been a travesty. To have the Democrats take credit for it would have been a disgusting ruse of sinister proportions.

Pelosi: Hey, quit your job – we’ll pay for your health coverage!

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines “entrepreneur” as “one who organizes, manages, and assumes the risks of a business or enterprise.” Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats defines entrepreneurial somewhat differently, as this clip from Nicholas Ballasy at CNS News demonstrates. Pelosi tells an audience in DC that ObamaCare is an “entrepreneurial bill,” because it will let people quit being productive and allow them to leech off of … entrepreneurs:

We see it as an entrepreneurial bill, a bill that says to someone, if you want to be creative and be a musician or whatever, you can leave your work, focus on your talent, your skill, your passion, your aspirations because you will have health care.

In other words, we should all just join the circus and let Mom and Dad pick up the bill. That’s not entrepreneurial; it’s a welfare state.

No class

I never thought id live to see the day that an American President embarrassed the office of the Presidency more than Bill Clinton, but Obama has done it.

He is now using the term "teabagger" to describe anyone who disagrees with his failed policies.

What a no class jerk store.

Breaking News

The Obama administration is thin skinned, treats the press badly, and plays favorites for positive coverage....i just cant believe it.

The only news here is that the press is finally wondering out loud why this White House full of inexperienced nobodies are treating everyone like they are the royal family.

The whole Hot Air piece is HERE, and well worth your time.

Reporters surprised to find White House is thin-skinned and controlling

It’s a long piece, but don’t be daunted. This is the most fun you’ll have all day. If you can’t spare time for all of it, at least read the section on “Getting mad.” Oh, and the part in the Gibbs section where Gibbsy sets up a big dinner with the press corps during a trip to Prague and then just flakes out. The nutshell:

Reporters say the White House is thin-skinned, controlling, eager to go over their heads and stingy with even basic information. All White Houses try to control the message. But this White House has pledged to be more open than its predecessors, and reporters feel it doesn’t live up to that pledge in several key areas:

— The ferocity of pushback is intense. A routine press query can draw a string of vitriolic e-mails. A negative story can draw a profane high-decibel phone call or worse. Some reporters feel like they’ve been frozen out after crossing the White House.
