Now, he is over in Europe at the G20 Summit trying to convince every European nation to spend out of control just as he has done. The Europeans are grumbling, though. Where he was once a rock star, he is now a faded star.

The French President is threatening to walk out of the summit.  More regulation and commitment to the global financial stimulus packages is not winning support from many of the countries.  France, as well as some other European nations, are demanding much tougher financial regulation, while the U.S. and Britain want nations to boost spending to help spark an economic recovery.  French President Nicolas Sarkozy said Monday he will not accept a summit that produces nothing more than what he called “false success.”

Since we have spent ourselves into bankruptcy, I guess misery would love company and so now Obama is trying to push his brilliant spending ideas on the Summit and they are not buying it. Good for them!

Here is a what the Congress and Obama have been doing with all that borrowed money from China:

The G20 members are Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union.

Someone please tell me when this madness is going to end….

U.S. Capitol

With all of the turmoil swirling around the Legislature since January of this year, it seems to me that this country is getting nowhere fast.

There are a lot of distractions going on with AIG, bailouts, etc. But, what has Congress and Obama done for this country other than spend money? I am in total agreement with Glenn Beck on this one: if the soldiers who are in the field must be evaluated upon their return, why not evaluate the politicians?

Taking Glenn’s 6 basic values as they relate to an evaluation for a soldier in the field, I have reworked them as they should apply to our illustrious politicians:

1) Loyalty~someone who bears true faith and allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, the United States and thier constituents.

2) Respect~a politician who treats people as they should or want to be treated

3) Selfless Service~someone who puts the welfare of the nation and their constituents before their own needs

4) Honor~a politician who lives up to, and actually has some, moral values

5) Integrity~a politician who does what is right legally and morally and not just because it is “re-election” time.

6) Personal Courage~a politician who faces fear or adversity and does the right thing in spite of whether he wins or loses the next election.

What? Are we not allowed to ask members of Congress questions about their use of Federal money? What is this country coming to?

Charlie Rangel’s message for Jason – and for all you bothersome taxpayers wondering about his shady rental property deals, publicly-subsidized Cadillac, and unpaid taxes:

“Why don’t you mind your goddamned business?”

Last time I checked, you worked for us Mr. Rangel and your corrupt “Speaker of the House” Nancy Pelosi.

When change comes in the next few years, these people are going to get swept away with the polluted air that brought them to Congress and placed them in their current seats…..
