Air Force One - arrogance rules
This is from Mark Knoller of CBS. The pilots and crew of Air Force One are flying more hours than a rookie on a beer run. They are tired of it too, and are adding more crew to Air Force-1, - I know this for a fact because I'm one of the instructors that trains the crews. Our company (Atlas Air) has had the Air Force-1 and E-4 contract for over two years and I've been doing it for about 8 months now.
Last year (2010) Obama flew in Air Force One 172 times, almost every other day.
White House officials have been telling reporters in recent days that the Democrat doesn't intend to hang around the White House quite so much in 2011. They explain he wants to get out more around the country because, as everyone knows, that midterm election shellacking on Nov. 2 had nothing to do with his health care bill, over-spending or other policies, and everything to do with Obama's not adequately explaining himself to his countrymen and women.
And with only 673 days remaining in Obama's never ending presidential campaign, the incumbent's travel pace will not likely slacken.
At an Air Force-estimated cost of $181,757 per flight HOUR (not to mention the additional travel costs of Marine One, Secret Service, logistics and local police overtime), that's a lot of frequent flier dollars going into Obama's carbon footprint.
We are privy to some of these numbers thanks to CBS' Mark Knoller, a bearded national treasure trove of presidential stats. According to Knoller's copious notes, during the last year, Obama made 65 domestic trips over 104 days, and six trips to eight countries over 22 days. Not counting six vacation trips over 32 days.
He took 196 helicopter trips, signed 203 pieces of legislation and squeezed in 29 rounds of left-handed golf.
Obama last year gave 491 speeches, remarks or statements. That's more talking than goes on in some entire families, at least from fatherly mouths.
In fact, even including the 24 days of 2010 that we never saw Obama in public, his speaking works out to about one official utterance every 11 waking hours. Aides indicate the "Real Good Talker" believes we need more.
Related: Obama spends nearly half his presidency outside Washington , plans to travel more
Related: Vacationer-in-Chief Spends $1.75 Million to Visit Hawaiian Chums
Obama has spent over $100 million taxpayer dollars flying around in Air Force One, and probably another $100 million on his entourage. Obama is just another tin-pot dictator living lavishly at the expense of his subjects.
And we seniors have to "tighten our belts" because we aren't getting a COLA again this year... and none last year!
THANKS TO ALL WHO HELPED PUT THIS GREEDY WINDBAG IN OFFICE!!
BE MORE CAREFUL NEXT TIME!!

- No nude women!?!
- No football?
- No pork chops?
- No hot dogs?
- No burgers?
- No beer!?!
- No bacon?
- Rags for clothes?
- Towels for hats?
- Constant wailing from some idiot in a tower?
- More than one wife?
- More than one mother in law!?!
- You can't shave?
- Your wife can't shave?
- You can't wash off the smell of donkey?
- You wipe your butt with your hand?
- You cook over burning camel shit?
- Your wife is picked by someone else for you?
- and your wife smells worse than your donkey??
Then they tell you that "when you die, it all gets better"??
Well no shit Sherlock!.... It's not like it could get much worse…

Ludwig's SSN for o Thanks Dan Baird!
And The Plot Thickens …………………..
An intensive investigation has revealed the identity of the man whose Social Security number (SSN) is being used by President Obama: Jean Paul Ludwig, who was born in France in 1890, emigrated to the United States in 1924, and was assigned SSN 042-68-4425 (Obama's current SSN) in or about March 1977.
Ludwig lived most of his adult life in Connecticut . Because of that, his SSN begins with the digits 042, which are among only a select few reserved for Connecticut residents.
Obama never lived or worked in that state! Therefore, there is no reason on earth for his SSN to start with the digits 042. None whatsoever!
Now comes the best part! Ludwig spent the final months of his life in Hawaii, where he died.
Conveniently, Obama's grandmother, Madelyn Payne Dunham, worked part-time in the Probate Office in the Honolulu Hawaii Courthouse, and therefore had access to the SSNs of deceased individuals.
The Social Security Administration was never informed of Ludwig's death, and because he never received Social Security benefits there were no benefits to stop and therefore, no questions were ever raised.
The suspicion, of course, is that Dunham, knowing her grandson was not a U.S. citizen, either because he was born in Kenya or became a citizen of Indonesiaupon his adoption by Lolo Soetoro simply scoured the probate records until she found someone who died who was not receiving Social Security benefits, and selected Mr. Ludwigs Connecticut SSN for Obama.
Just wait until Trump gets past the birth certificate and onto the issue of Barry O's use of a stolen SSN. You will see leftist heads exploding, because they will have no way of defending Obama.
Although many Americans do not understand the meaning of the term "natural born" there are few who do not understand that if you are using someone else's SSN it is a clear indication of fraud.

Five best sentences... Thanks Luis Flores!
the 5 best sentences you'll ever read....
These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read:
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by
legislating the wealth 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.
Can you think of a reason for not sharing this?
Neither could I......

The wicker basket... Thanks Sarah Rapp!
The story is told of an old man who lived on a farm in the mountains of
eastern Kentucky with his young grandson.
Each morning, Grandpa was up
early sitting at the kitchen table reading from his old worn-out Bible. His
grandson who wanted to be just like him tried to imitate him in any way he
could.
One day the grandson asked, 'Papa, I try to read the Bible just like you
but I don't understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I
close the book. What good does reading the Bible do?' The Grandfather
quietly
turned from putting coal in the stove and said, 'Take this old wicker
coal basket down to the river and bring back a basket of water.'
The boy did as he was told, even though all the water leaked out before
he could get back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, 'You will
have to move a little faster next time,' and sent him back to the river
with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the
old
wicker basket was empty before he returned home. Out of breath, he told
his grandfather that it was 'impossible to carry water in a basket,' and he
went to get a bucket instead. The old man said, 'I don't want a bucket of
water. I want a basket of water. You can do this. You're just not trying
hard
enough,' and he went out the door to watch the boy try again.
At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his
grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would
leak out before he got far at all. The boy scooped the water and ran hard,
but when he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty. Out of
breath, he said, 'See Papa, it's useless!'
'So you think it is useless?' The old man said, 'Look at the basket.'
The boy looked at the basket and for t! he first time he realized that the
basket looked different. Instead of a dirty old wicker coal basket, it
was clean.
'Son, that's what happens when you read the Bible. You might not
understand or remember everything, but when you read it, it will change you
from
the inside out.'
Moral of the wicker basket story: Take time to read a portion of God's
word each day; it will affect you for good even if you don't retain a word.
Thought for Today: God's Love is like the ocean, you can see its
beginnings but not its end.
I really like this story because I don't remember things like I used
to....but then I think God isn't concerned about my brain anyway, He's
more concerned about my heart .
The word of God it's written that he isn't worried about our success at
perfection, but more
interested in our unending attempt toward it, as long as we're trying, in
His eyes we're never failing.
"Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves
and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear
from heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land." 2 Ch 7:14
"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee."

What the hell is wrong? Thanks Ray Springer!
Subject: Fwd: Fw: What the hell is wrong
We take care of the world, while our own country needs help in the worst way.
Someone please tell me what the HELL's wrong with
all the people that run this country!!!!!! Both
republicians
&
Democrats
We're "broke" & can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.,???????????
In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti , Chile , Pakistan, Lybia, Egypt and Turkey . And now Japan
Literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!!
Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income' receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while our government and religious organizations pour
Hundreds of Billions of $$$$$$'s and Tons of Food to Foreign Countries!
We have hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans.
AMERICA: a country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed hungry, elderly going without 'needed' meds, and mentally ill without treatment -etc,etc.
YET....................
They have a 'Benefit' for the people of Haiti on 12 TV stations, ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents clothes, bedding, doctors and medical supplies.
Imagine if the *GOVERNMENT* gave 'US' the same support they give to other countries.
Sad isn't it?
99% of people won't have the guts to forward this.
I'm one of the 1% -- I Just Did

*****************************
The next time you feel like GOD can't use you, just remember...
Noah was a drunk
Abraham was too old
Isaac was a daydreamer
Jacob was a liar
Leah was ugly
Joseph was abused
Moses had a stuttering problem
Gideon was afraid
Samson had long hair and was a womanizer
Rahab was a prostitute
Jeremiah and Timothy were too young
David had an affair and was a murderer
Elijah was suicidal
Isaiah preached naked
Jonah ran from God
Naomi was a widow
Job went bankrupt
Peter denied Christ
The Disciples fell asleep while praying
Martha worried about everything
The Samaritan woman was divorced, more than once
Zaccheus was too small
Paul was too religious
Timothy had an ulcer... AND
Lazarus was dead!
Now! No more excuses!
God can use you to your full potential. Besides you aren't the message, you are just the messenger.
And one more thing... share this with a friend or two... In the Circle of God's love, God's waiting to use your full potential.
1. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.
2. Dear God, I have a problem, it's Me.
3. Growing old is inevitable... growing UP is optional.
4. There is no key to happiness. The door is always open.
5. Silence is often misinterpreted but never misquoted.
6. Do the math... count your blessings.
7. Faith is the ability to not panic.
8. Laugh every day, it's like inner jogging.
9. If you worry, you didn't pray. If you pray, don't worry.
10. As a child of God, prayer is kind of like calling home everyday.
11. Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape.
12. The most important things in your house are the people.
13. When we get tangled up in our problems, be still. God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot.
14. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry.
15. He who dies with the most toys is still dead.
Have a great day!!! The SON is shining and he can certainly use you!
