Getting Schooled

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama’s socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama’s plan”. All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A…. (substituting grades for dollars – something closer to home and more readily understood by all).

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.

The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F. As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. It could not be any simpler than that.
Remember, there IS a test coming up. The 2012 elections.

These are possibly the 5 best sentences you’ll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:

1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

New Stamp

NOW THIS IS FUNNY – I DON’T CARE WHO YOU ARE.

The Postal Services created a stamp with a picture of President Obama on it.
The Postal Service noticed that the stamp was not sticking to envelopes.
This enraged the President, who demanded a full investigation.
After a month of testing and $1.73 million in congressional spending, a special
Presidential commission presented the following findings:
1.The stamp is in perfect order.
2. There is nothing wrong with the glue.
3. People are spitting on the wrong side

A good one!

THANK YOU AMERICA !

Dear American Taxpayer

For only the second time in my adult life, I am not

ashamed of my country. I want to thank the hard

working American people for paying $242 thousand

dollars for my vacation in Spain .My daughter Sasha, several long-time family friends,

my personal staff and various guests had a wonderful time.Honestly, you just haven’t lived until you have stayed

in a $2,500.00 per night private 3-story villa at a 5-Star luxury hotel.Thank you also for the use of Air Force Two
and the 70 Secret Service personnel who tagged

along to be sure we were safe and cared for at all times.

By the way, if you happen to be visiting the Costa del Sol ,

I highly recommend the Buenaventura Plaza restaurant

in Marbella ; great lobster with rice and oysters!

I’m ashamed to admit the lobsters we ate in Martha’s Vineyard were not quite as tasty,
but what can you do if you’re not in Europe , you have to just grin and bear it?Air Force Two (which costs $11,351 per hour to operate
according to Government Accounting Office reports)

only used 47,500 gallons of jet fuel for this trip

and carbon emissions were a mere 1,031 tons of CO2.These are only rough estimates, but they are close.

That’s quite a carbon footprint as my good friend

Al Gore would say, so we must ask the American

citizens to drive smaller, more fuel efficient cars and

drive less too, so we can lessen our combined

carbon footprint.I know times are hard and millions of you are struggling

to put food on the table and trying to make ends meet.

So I do appreciate your sacrifices and do hope you

find work soon.I was really exhausted after Barack took our family

on a luxury vacation in Maine a few weeks ago.

I just had to get away for a few days.Cordially,
Michelle (Moochelle) Obama

P.S. Thank you as well for the $2 BILLION dollar trip

to India from which we just returned! P.SS. Thank you, too, for that vacation trip to

Martha’s Vineyard; it was fabulous.And thanks for that second smaller jet that took our

dog Bo to Martha’s Vineyard so we and the children

could have him with us while we were away from the

White House for eleven days. After all, we couldn’t

take him on Air Force One because he might pee

on some wires or something.P.SSS. Oh, I almost forgot to say thanks also for

our two-week trip to Hawaii at Christmas. That 7,000

square foot house was great!

P.SSSs don’t forget my ski trip to Vail this winter

and now the girls and I are in Africa with my mom.

All this while Barack golf’s and campaigns to

keep my trips coming for the next 4 years !

Love ya!Remember, we all have to share the pain of these

economic times equally!

Love to -redistribute- share- the wealth.

Early release of NoBama’s SUA transcript

Transcript of President Obama’s State of Union Address

“Thank you, thank you please be seated. You are all starting to look like the liberal media with all this idolatry. Ok, I am going to keep this short tonight. Tee off is 6:30am in Pebble Beach and I need enough time to get to the west coast. (turn head and ask “Does Nancy still have the jet? That would help a lot”). Before we start I would like to thank Senate majority leader Harry Reid for helping me to stall a lot of legislation in the Senate. Thank you to Vice President Biden for his gaffes which allows Fox News to focus on him for a while. And a special “thank you” to Speaker Boehner for single handedly solving the worlds’ water problems with all those tears (wait for laughter to die down).

Since I have been elected President in 2008 I have been hard at work for you, the American people. In fact, sleep is at a premium these days because I have been working tirelessly pandering to union bosses to make sure my campaign donations don’t dry up. In three short years as your Commander in Chief we have accomplished many things for the citizens of this once great nation and most particularly for the middle class.

Our debt and deficits are at dangerous levels…they are too low. How can we possibly look to restrain the size of government intervention in your lives if we continue to have people demanding for government to live within its means. That’s why we haven’t passed a budget in 1,000 days….to give overpaid bureaucrats the much needed freedom to continue spending on their favorite pet projects like teaching shrimp to run on a treadmill or counting the number of male prostitutes in Vietnam or putting poems in zoos. These are the things that put Americans back to work. These are the spending projects that the middle class is demanding.

We have killed the Keystone XL Pipeline which would have brought oil from Canada to our refineries in Texas and Louisiana. We did this for two major reasons: one, strategically we wanted China to get this oil so they can continue to import cheap products to the U.S. so the Chinese will have the money to loan us, and, two, as your President I want oil prices to stay high so traveling for you would be too expensive. Middle class families would then be forced to stay home and cook dinner and watch T.V. This is all part of Michelle’s “Keeping The Family Together Energy Dependence Plan”. It will work. Just give it some time and it will show the same fruits as our stimulus plan. Who do the Canadian’s think they are anyway? It’s not like they are a staunch ally of ours like my good friend Hugo Chavez in Venezuela.

And finally we will continue to focus on education. Tonight I am rolling out my new “Occupy The Classroom” initiative. This will allow students to go to college under a special grant that never has to be re-paid as long as you tell us in good faith that you are trying to find work after you obtain your degree. If you cannot find work within 10 years, the federal government will erase the debt.

When I took office I said this would be the most transparent administration in history and I have kept that promise. During my campaign I told everyone that would listen what I would do when President. Did you really expect for me to govern from the center? So, in closing, I will say this…and let me be clear…class warfare benefits everyone…redistribution of wealth benefits everyone…reckless government spending benefits everyone. Let’s continue to prey on the uninformed and together, we will finish our transition to a bankrupt European nation.

God bless you and God bless the United Socialist States of America! (slowly back away and don’t trip over teleprompter)

The New Medicare Program

You’re a sick senior citizen and the government says there is no nursing home available for you. So what do you do?

Our plan gives anyone 65 years or older a gun and 4 bullets. You are allowed to shoot four Politicians.

Of course, this means you will be sent to prison where you will get three meals a day, a roof over your head, central heating, air conditioning and all the health care you need!

Need new teeth? No problem. Need glasses? That’s great. Need a new hip, knees, kidney, lungs or heart? They’re all covered.

As an added bonus, your kids can come and visit you as often as they do now.
And who will be paying for all of this? It’s the same government that just told you that you they cannot afford for you to go into a home.

Plus, and because you are a prisoner, you don’t have to pay any income taxes anymore.

Is this a great country or what?

Make it simple stupid.

Heidi is the proprietor of a bar in Detroit.

She realizes that virtually all of her customers are unemployed  alcoholics and, as such, can no longer afford to patronize her bar.

To solve this problem, she comes up with a new marketing plan that  allows her customers to drink now, but pay later.

Heidi keeps track of the drinks consumed on a ledger (thereby granting the customers’ loans).

Word gets around about Heidi’s “drink now, pay later”  marketing strategy and, as a result, increasing numbers of customers flood  into Heidi’s bar. Soon she has the largest sales volume for any bar in Detroit.

By providing her customers freedom from immediate payment demands, Heidi gets no resistance when, at regular intervals, she substantially increases her prices for wine and beer, the most consumed beverages.

Consequently, Heidi’s gross sales volume increases  massively.

A young and dynamic vice-president at the local bank  recognizes that these customer debts constitute valuable future assets and increases Heidi’s borrowing limit.

He sees no reason for any undue concern, since he has the debts of the unemployed alcoholics as collateral!!!

At the bank’s corporate headquarters, expert traders figure a way to make huge commissions, and transform these customer loans into DRINK BONDS.

These “securities” then are bundled and traded on international securities markets.

Naive investors don’t really understand that the securities being sold to them as “AAA Secured Bonds” really are debts of unemployed alcoholics. Nevertheless, the bond prices  continuously climb and the securities soon become the  hottest-selling items for some of the nation’s leading brokerage houses.

One day, even though the bond prices still are climbing, a  risk manager at the original local bank decides that the time has come to demand payment on the debts incurred by the drinkers at Heidi’s bar.   He so informs Heidi.

Heidi then demands payment from her alcoholic patrons, but being unemployed alcoholics they cannot pay back their  drinking debts.

Since Heidi cannot fulfil her loan obligations, she is forced into bankruptcy. The bar closes and Heidi’s 11 employees  lose their jobs.

Overnight, DRINK BOND prices drop by 90%.

The collapsed bond asset value destroys the bank’s liquidity and prevents it from issuing new loans, thus freezing credit and economic activity in the community.

The suppliers of Heidi’s bar had granted her generous payment extensions and had invested their firms’ pension funds in the BOND securities.

They find they are now faced with having to write off her bad debt and with losing over 90% of the presumed value of the bonds.

Her wine supplier also claims bankruptcy, closing the doors on a family business that had endured for three generations; her beer supplier is taken over by a competitor, who  immediately closes the local plant and lays off 150 workers.

Fortunately though, the bank, the brokerage houses and their  respective executives are saved and bailed out by a multibillion dollar  no-strings attached cash infusion from the government.

The funds required for this bailout are obtained by new taxes levied on employed, middle-class, non-drinkers who have never been in Heidi’s bar.

Now do you understand?

Here’s your change!

After two years of Obama … Here’s your change!

THE PRESIDENCY

SOME WILL APPRECIATE THIS AND SOME WILL NOT.

HOWEVER,  ALL OF IT IS TRUE.

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive?  Can’t think of anything?  Don’t worry.  He’s done all this in 24 months — so you’ll have one year and ten months [5 mos. as of early June] to come up with an answer.

Every statement in this email is factual and directly attributable to Barrack Hussein Obama.   Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable.

Stuff

I have never heard this said as plain or as well. 
Class war at its best. 
 
The folks who are getting the free stuff, don't like the folks who are paying for the free stuff,
Because the folks who are paying for the free stuff,
Can no longer afford to pay for both the free stuff and their own stuff,
 
And,
The folks who are paying for the free stuff,
Want the free stuff to stop.
and the the folks who are getting the free stuff,
Want even more free stuff on top of the free stuff they are already getting!
 
Now...
The people who are forcing the people who Pay for the free stuff, 
Have told the people who are RECEIVING the free stuff,
That the people who are PAYING for the free stuff,
Are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.
 
So...
the people who are GETTING the free stuff, 
Have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the free stuff,
By the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff,
And giving them the free stuff in the first place.
 
We have let the free stuff giving go on for so long that there are
Now more people getting free stuff than paying for the free stuff.
 
Now understand this. All great democracies have committed financial suicide
somewhere between 200 and 250 years after being founded. The reason
The voters figured out they could vote themselves money from the treasury by electing
people who promised to give them money from the treasury in exchange for electing them.
 
The United States officially became a Republic in 1776, 231 years ago. The number of people now
getting free stuff outnumbers the people paying for the free stuff. We have one chance to change that
in 2012.
Failure to change that spells the end of the United States as we know it. 
 
 
 
 
ELECTION 2012 IS COMING 
 
A Nation of Sheep Breeds a Government of Wolves! 
 
I'M 100% for PASSING THIS ON!!! 
 
Let’s Take a Stand!!!
