Dedication

This is my third book and is dedicated to my sons: Dennis, Anthony, Robert & Fred. Special thanks to Fred who has put up with my ramblings and helped me along the way. Special thanks to Anthony who has edited and changed some of the writing. My brother John has led me through the spiritual parts. Thank you reverend John Sgro. Also thanks to my son Dennis for the name, and finally, my friend Arlene Grapo who has, on a daily basis, reminded me of anything I may have missed from the news media.

Foreword

In November 2008, just after the presidential election, I released my second book: The Erosion of The American Family. I promised my readers that I would devote the next two years of my life to watching our new president and congress and all of our elected officials in Washington. I have done just that, every ounce of news, every new bill, every sound bite, and as much as I could learn about the history of our great U.S.A.

No spin, no lies, nothing held back. Know that my research is well done, and the facts are as they have transpired almost on a daily basis. I have known, as many of you have, that the assault on religion in this country has been going on for many years. Unfortunately, we have been asleep in America for some time. We simply go on with our lives. Well, now we must be awake and be aware.

We have been bilked folks and if you still don’t believe it, I invite you to read this book.

I will take you through step by step. I will show you what the real progressive agenda in this country is all about.

Satan is alive and well; many of us cannot see the truth.

•   We are a Christian nation! No matter what Obama says

•   How did Obama become president?

•   How did this great country put a man in the White House we knew so little about?

•   Black Americans are 10% of the population. 90% of them voted for Obama

•   57% of Catholics voted for Obama

•   62% of Jews voted for Obama

•   All uniformed. Shame on us!

This book will seem like a scramble of facts. And that is exactly what it is. It appears that way because it compiles what’s happening day to day & week by week. So a lot of this news will happen one day and be discussed another day as we go forward.

PART 1

November 2008 to May 2009

The following are daily reports of the confusion leading to Obama’s presidency:

The people have spoken; John McCain delivered a very nice concession speech.

I promised you I would watch and listen and read everything I can get my eyes, ears to check. I am not happy about this election, but I promise I will only print the truth and I will be as open as I can. I happen to think this is a man we do not know

And if we don’t know him, how do we trust him, do we blindly follow or do we get busy learning? I choose to watch and learn, I choose not to believe all that is said and find the truth where I can.

I welcome change. Even as a republican, I see the problems we are facing; I see the mistakes made by Bush, Clinton, and even my favorite: Ronald Reagan. I welcome change, but as Harry Truman once said, show me.

There will be four important challenges: who will Obama choose for his cabinet? Who will he choose as us attorney general? What about subcommittees? And what would his political appointments be? What kind of international and domestic policy will he have? These are very important items to watch.

Approximately 500 to 1,000 people are White House staff. The new president can ask all to leave, or keep some; that is his decision. When Bush went into office, he asked all the staff to stay, and after a time he did replace some. When Clinton entered the White House he asked them all to leave.

We are hearing a lot about how bad the economy is doing, the TARP bill, the AIG bailout, and everything looks very negative. There is a lot of talk about the other races around the country, and plenty of fraud as well. We will watch all this. The day to day coverage of Obama and all his cabinet picks. There is plenty of speculation about homeland security. Many of the Clinton people will be back, or so they say.

There is also much talk about the auto industry being government controlled. I am wondering why all this is being talked about before the new president is in office.

Why are they talking so much about the pledge of allegiance? I’m telling you folks, we are going to see changes faster than the speed of light. Before we know it, Hillary will be chosen for Secretary of State.

The talk about the inauguration is overwhelming. Never in my lifetime have I heard so much intense coverage. Some have even used the word ‘coronation.’ This is really off the wall.

Obama continues talking about raising taxes, but he won’t say how and when until he has his team in place. He has already had several press conferences. Unbelievable. I have lived to see thirteen presidents and I have never seen anything like this.

Today is November 28, 2008. There has been a terrorist attack in India, over 195 people are dead, and amongst them were six Americans. Many people from India are telling us they need better intelligence. I believe George Bush did a good job keeping us safe, my hope is that Obama keeps most of the good policies in place, but my fear is that he won’t.

Eric Holder was just named attorney general. Remember when Clinton pardoned mark rich and the 16 Puerto Ricans that terrorized and killed people? Well, Eric holder was part of them.

Hearings are going on in Washington. The U.A.W. is pleading congress for a $36 billion bailout. My humble opinion is that the union is so corrupt in the misuse of funds that they can’t even pay their own pensions. Is this America’s fault? No, it’s the union’s fault. I think the government should stay away from this one. Watching all this is confusing, but it’s all about politics. We must get rid of this congress. Too many career politicians. Letting the auto industry fail is what should happen; they file bankruptcy and start again. Many hardworking Americans have had to do this.

There are layoffs all over the country, and things are looking worse by the day. Big companies like 3M, DOW Chemical, Anhauser Bush are hurting and many small businesses will close their doors. Wow, this could get very ugly fast!

In early December the governor of Illinois is arrested. Rod Blagojevich. He is being accused of trying to sell Obama’s senate seat. This is just the tip of the iceberg when we talk of the corruption in Chicago. This story is about to put the public into a coma. It will be on all day and all week long, on every station.

Today is December 10, 2008 and our congress has just approved a $16 billion bailout for the big three auto makers, and now is off to the senate. But the senate has turned the bailout down. Hooray!

I think we have seen the newly elected president on TV every day since the election. Today he is calling for the resignation of the disgraced ill governor.

There is a big announcement from the White House: President Bush will allow $17 billion for the bailout. This money will come from the original $720 from the bank bailout. President Bush said, This is a painful blow to the taxpayers. GM says that they will focus on long term success. I am sick about this one; while I hate to see anyone out of work, I wonder how all of this is going to end.

Meanwhile, the prime lending rate is very low now. In fact, it hasn’t been this low since the 60’s. Just maybe this will help people, we will see. Also, many states are in trouble. Could this be another bailout?

Let’s talk about the SEC, securities and the exchange commission. They failed on the Madoff scheme; they dropped the ball on Bears Stern. So I ask, why do we have this enormous overpaid government department? Let’s face it America, no one is looking out for us. We had better wake up and start learning what we need to know about our oversized government.

Obama appears on TV again to explain his dealings with the thief governor from Chicago. Also today Hillary announced that she wants to increase her department. The last thing we need is more government employees.

The end of the year is coming to a halt, and even the talking heads are quiet. All we are hearing is Blago, Blago, Blago!

Happy New Year to all. Let’s wish 2009 brings America to a place we belong. Let’s hope after the inauguration we see good things from Washington and those who lead us. We ask for guidance from God. We ask that our troops stay safe and all come home soon. We ask that our new president fulfills his promise of hope and change.

As this new year begins, Israel and Palestine are squaring off. Tanks and weapons are moving toward Gaza. It’s looking like a full blown ground war. Hamas is starting the attack. So far over 400 Palestinians are dead, hundreds injured. The Israeli soldiers are going house to house in the Gaza Strip. Both sides are claiming that the other is wrong; the fact is that Hamas broke the cease fire. Many innocents will die. The United Nations will meet to discuss the situation. In my view the United Nations is worthless. My hope is that down the road the UN will be cut down to size by the US we fund the UN in a big way. The lame stream media NBC, MSMBC, CBS, and CNN are playing down the Israeli and Palestinian fight. Syria wants the US to intervene.

These past couple of weeks a few seats have been filled. Leon Panetta was picked to head the CIA and Bill Richardson for commerce secretary. Panetta worked for the Clinton administration, and he seems to be a good choice. However, Richardson is another Clintonite who will have to decline because he is involved in a scandal, even as we speak. Are you telling me Obama didn’t know this before he appointed him? If he really didn’t we are in for a world of hurt folks.

Just days before the inauguration, we are seeing the future. We have a horrific spending program with the stimulus package. I’m no accountant, but it looks to me like waste and fraud waiting to happen. So far, all the Obama picks for his cabinet are former Clinton people, several with tarnished reputations. And some of the choices for new senate seats (such as Al Franken) are big disappointments. The hour of hope and change is about to begin.

Obama finally said something today about the Israel and Palestine outbreak: I am very concerned about the loss of innocent lives, in reference to Palestine, while not mentioning even once that the initial gunfire came from Palestine. Sometimes we must listen to what is not being said.

In another news conference today Obama said, we have a trillion dollar deficit, we will have to jump start our economy by spending a lot of money, and barring earmarks

Obama said that the bill will be totally transparent, and he continued by adding, Americans can go on line to see where our money is being spent. Wow, that really sounds great. Obama continue, I will demonstrate my seriousness to the American people ‘no earmarks’ in this new recovery bill. Wow! We need to restore the faith in Washington, I will scour the budget line by line, This is yet another incredible statement.

In another news conference, Obama said today that he is prepared to act immediately on foreign policy. Again, I will say I have never ever seen so much exposure by the media of any one man on a daily basis as this man. Somehow that gives me pause, we all know you and we are all looking ahead to you entering office. Why must you jam all this at us so fast and furious? I feel this is a warning. Why all the ‘fear mongering?’ if you listen to all he has to say it’s almost scary. Obama said something in one of his many appearances (the specific one escapes me at the moment), using the phrase only government. What does that mean? He uses those words time and again; they are normally used in the context of helping the masses. Now to me, that is wrong, and as you read this book I will show you why.

No matter what lies ahead, my feeling at this point of time is that government cannot solve the problems in this country; government can, in fact, make all things worse.

This is some event folks, history being made today. The first black president, look how far we have come. Millions lined the streets of Washington to welcome our 44th president of the United States. The entire day was an extravaganza. It has been said this inauguration is costing over $100 million. I have no knowledge of the cost in the past, but I feel this should not be allowed to happen; not now, not ever. What a waste of money!

The inaugural speech was good, not great. Did I feel good? Yes I did. I felt hopeful and positive.

When I awoke the next morning I saw all of the speech all the hoopla and all the gushing by the lame stream media. All I could think about was, get a grip on things, get to work and show us what you have.

The conflict in Israel continues, Lebanon is now taking part in it. As of today, over 800 Palestinians have been killed. A big argument begins on the hill, what to do with the extra 300 million will be used that GW released to congress. It seems there is very little oversight. This will be interesting. Remember folks, the White House, the House, and the Senate are all led by Democrats.

There will also be hearings today to confirm Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, Tim Geithner as Treasury Secretary and the most important confirmation of all: Eric holder as Attorney General. As chief law enforcer, this is the person who will represent We the people.

A few days before his inauguration, he has stated that Gitmo will be one of his first duties as president. His intention is to close Gitmo.

Also the TARP program will be finalized. The TARP was begun with George Bush and will be carried out by this new administration. He promised us the American people he would rid Washington of business as usual and much, much more. Was this just another politician? Fifty two percent of us said No; he is the one who will bring us hope and change.

The last administration spent like Al Capone, so I was not too happy of being a Republican. That’s why I now call myself a conservative. Every single bill George Bush signed was loaded with all kinds of pork spending. I was discouraged to say the least.

Obama promised he would veto line by line any needless spending. TARP went into effect almost immediately and then only three weeks later we are looking at a stimulus bill being pushed on the American people filled with bad spending and lots of special interests. Folks, that is a ton of pork. Shortly after, we are hearing card check, another word for union voting. The union heads want open voting; the workers want closed ballots.

A few days later the president wants a cap set on what executives on Wall Street can earn. Obama is working really fast.

The SEC (Security Exchange Commission) has reported a whistle blower, and had warned the powers that be about Bernie Madoff as far back as 2003. Please don’t tell me that
