Decision Points

I'm looking forward to reading his book but below is an interview of George W. Bush about some of the decisions he had to make during his presidency.

If you live in Indiana...

...you need to vote for Don Bates Jr. I know him personally - he's a great conservative Christian man and would make a tremendous United States Senator!

Oops

What happens when the teleprompter is not working properly...

Good Grief...

After watching these videos and hearing the talking heads bemoan the fact that we "tortured" terrorists, who have no problem cutting off people's heads and want to kill as many American's as possible, I can't help but wonder how long it will be until the USA no longer exists...with people with this mentality in leadership I'm afraid it won't be much longer!

I'm not especially fond of insects myself, but I'm sorry but a caterpillar in a cell is not torture! Especially when you consider that those individuals may have information concerning the potential of the death of thousands of American's!

It's ironic how these same people, who claim that this is "horrible" torture has to stop, have no problem with the slaughter of thousands of unborn babies...that's the real torture that's going on!

Freedom One World Trade Center Tower


This just makes me wonder - how much longer are we going to be free if we can't even build and name a tower the "Freedom Tower"? It is ironic since we are abandoning freedom and headed for a one world government that they would be changing the name from "Freedom Tower" to "One World Trade Center"...

What does one TRILLION dollars look like?

From: http://www.pagetutor.com/trillion/index.html

All this talk about "stimulus packages" and "bailouts"...

A billion dollars...

A hundred billion dollars...

Eight hundred billion dollars...

One TRILLION dollars...

What does that look like? I mean, these various numbers are tossed around like so many doggie treats, so I thought I'd take Google Sketchup out for a test drive and try to get a sense of what exactly a trillion dollars looks like.

We'll start with a $100 dollar bill. Currently the largest U.S. denomination in general circulation. Most everyone has seen them, slighty fewer have owned them. Guaranteed to make friends wherever they go.

$100

A packet of one hundred $100 bills is less than 1/2" thick and contains $10,000. Fits in your pocket easily and is more than enough for week or two of shamefully decadent fun.

$10,000

Believe it or not, this next little pile is $1 million dollars (100 packets of $10,000). You could stuff that into a grocery bag and walk around with it.

$1,000,000 (one million dollars)

While a measly $1 million looked a little unimpressive, $100 million is a little more respectable. It fits neatly on a standard pallet...

$100,000,000 (one hundred million dollars)

And $1 BILLION dollars... now we're really getting somewhere...

$1,000,000,000 (one billion dollars)

Next we'll look at ONE TRILLION dollars. This is that number we've been hearing about so much. What is a trillion dollars? Well, it's a million million. It's a thousand billion. It's a one followed by 12 zeros.

You ready for this?

It's pretty surprising.

Go ahead...

Scroll down...

Ladies and gentlemen... I give you $1 trillion dollars...

$1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion dollars)

(And notice those pallets are double stacked.)

So the next time you hear someone toss around the phrase "trillion dollars"... that's what they're talking about.

Now this does make my head explode!

From LifeNews:

“The White House quietly announced on Friday that President Barack Obama is starting the process of overturning protections President Bush put in place to make sure medical staff and centers are not forced to do abortions. The move is the latest that will add to Obama's growing pro-abortion record.”

Too bad he's not our President...

I'm speaking of Mike Huckabee of course...

In this video Huckabee talks to Sean Hannity about FDR and the Great Depression.

There's a crisis all right...

As you will see in the video below President Obama is making sure that everyone knows that there is a "crisis" and he is using fear to try to accomplish his agenda. However, there is a much bigger crisis in our country right now - one that is far bigger than our economic situation. Click here and read this story and you will see just what the crisis is - all I can say is God help us and God have mercy!!

626 Words per Minute

That's how fast our "great" leaders in Washington would have had to read in order for them to actually read the 1,073 page stimulus bill that they're trying to pass.

I haven't read that fast since I was in College! :)

Imagine if Bush would have tried this...

President Obama preselected reporters to ask questions at his primetime press briefing...

It makes me wonder if he told them what questions to ask too...

Sad to see him go...

I haven't always agreed with President Bush. At times I've been very disappointed. However, I do believe he has always tried to do his best for our country. He was faced with increadible problems from the very beginning of his Presidency. September 11 is a distant memory now, but can you imagine if Al Gore would have been our President following September 11th? It's a horrible thought to think of Al Gore being our President at all - let alone following 9/11! I'll never forget the fear and uncertainty that followed 9/11, but thanks to President Bush's leadership we have not had another major attack here in our country.

Most of us are tired of Iraq by now. Mistakes were made, unfortunately many brave people lost their lives fighting there. However, I believe President Bush went it to Iraq because knowing everything he knew, he believed it was in the best interest of our nation. Now Iraq and its people are much better off than before and have a great opportunity at freedom.

President Bush has had to deal with a media who has been out to destroy him from day one. They absolutely hated the fact that he was elected (twice) and they have done everything to make him look like a complete failure his entire Presidency. Unfortunately I'm afraid they've succeeded for the most part. Even people who once were a huge fan of Bush I have heard trash him and say horrible things about him. Again, I haven't agreed with him on many issues, but I don't think that he is deserving of some of the hateful things I've heard people say about him...

Anyways, I'm sad to see him leave the Presidency. Who knows what the next few years hold for us...? I do believe that someday we will have a better understanding and appreciation of President George W. Bush. Thank you President Bush (I know your reading my blog ;-) for giving of yourself and leading our nation for the past 8 years!

Think Fast!

President Bush demonstrates some quick reflexes:
