ObamaNation surrenders America's economic independence

While the "mainstream" media would have ye socks focusing on the glamour battle between the first ladies, the true focus should have been on what their husbands were doing.

It wasn't good. Well, not if you believe in American independence.

Our illustrious new leader surrendered a significant piece of our sovereignty in London yesterday. Henceforth, the components of our economic engine (including the SEC, the Commodities Trading Commission, and the Federal Reserve Board) will now be subject to the oversight and coordination efforts of a new international junta: The Financial Stability Board.

Why isn't that making the headlines?!

Instead of self-determination, we will let other people overseas tell us what we should do. I'm sure they'll act in our best interest. At least, I hope they will. After all, the US will only have 1 vote on the board. Despite the fact that our economy is three times larger than #2 Japan, our voice will have exactly the same weight. In fact, half of the seats on the board will belong to European nations where socialism reigns supreme.

If Obama wanted to give away that much of our sovereignty to Europe, why didn't he just petition for membership in the EU?!

This is an outrage, an affront to every freedom-loving American.

And, that should be the topic du jour, not what some would-be fashionista is wearing or who she is inappropriately touching.

Michelle Obama is walking a fine line.

A fine line between cheeky and saracastic, that is.

For quite some time now, I have found her speeches on the campaign trail to be as annoying as nails on a chalk board. And, not just because I vehemently disagree with her socialist tendancies. The real problem I have with her is her smarmy speaking style. She punctuates her sentencies with absurd facial expressions, and the sort of dismissive "ughs" typical of a 13-year old who is disgusted by having to explain something to their parents.

Well, it has finally caught up with her.

In case you missed every major news outlet today, the wife of the Democratic frontrunner Barack Hussein Obama stepped in big doo-doo in an appearance up in Wisconsin on Presidents Day.

Her speech was typically Obama-esque, heavy on platitudes about hope and change but light on any real substance.

However, there was one line that ruffled a LOT of feathers: "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country."

It is simply outrageous that someone who has lived in this country for 44 years and benefited greatly as a result of her citizenship cannot recall another single moment in time when she was proud to be an American. Perhaps, she should take time away from "speechifying" and crack a history book or two to catch up with the rest of us . . .

Mrs. Obama went on to give just two reasons for her newly-discovered pride in the USA:
(1) Her husband is doing well.
(2) People are hungry for change.

Wow. Stunning. Two reasons.

I suppose it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. The power couple from the south side of Chicago have consistently shown themselves to be less than patriotic. Remember when Barack Hussein Obama refused to wear a red, white, and blue lapel pin like everyone else in the U.S. Senate, dismissing them as "a substitute for true patriotism." Remember, too, when he alone stood out among the field of Democratic candidates attending Tom Harkin's annual steak fry out in Iowa last year, because he failed to put his hand over his heart during a rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner."

The more we learn about the Obamas, the more self-centered and ignorant they appear. And, I don't use those words lightly.

Woe unto this country if either one of them takes up residence in the White House.
