LYRICS
BARACK OBAMA
music & lyrics by David McDavitt ©2008
Rising from the heart-land of America
Barack Obama. THE CHANGE WE NEED.
A man who will represent us- the Amercian people.
NOT the interests of the lobbies.
We dont want no corrupt politicians
We dont want the status quo
America is crying out for changes
Who will answer our call- oh?
CHORUS
Barack Obama, the leader we need
Barack Obama, battle the greed
Barack Obama, fix what is wrong
Barack Obama, make America strong
Barack Obama, hes heaven-sent
Barack Obama, make him President!
McCain said taxes are not for the wealthy
Now family budgets are small & unhealthy
We need help to make taxes more fair
Wheres a politician who actually cares ?
CHORUS
Health-care insurance is heartless & cold
God help the poor, the sick, and the old
HMOs think that life is elective
Who can inject a compassion corrective?
CHORUS
Equal pay for all sexes & races
No more profiling, or hate crime cases
We dont want Kings dream to fade away
Who will defend civil rights today?
CHORUS
Many people are trapped in povertys cage
No one can live on the minimum wage
Housing & training have too high a price
Who has a plan to help poor people rise?
CHORUS
Americans demand better foreign relations
Greed & fear should not hurt other nations
No more Guantanamo, no more Iraq
Who will help other countries, instead of attack?
CHORUS
Oils too expensive, & destroys the Earth
It inspires greed & war like a curse
We need new energy, made on U.S. soil
Which leader will not be a puppet of oil !
CHORUS
With Barack Obama- no book burning
With Barack Obama- scientific learning
With Barack Obama- women have a choice
With Barack Obama- well have a voice
With Barack Obama- no lobbyist greed
With Barack Obama- get the change we
need

What Should We Make of Obamas Spending Freeze
http://www.infowars.com/what-should-we-make-of-obamas-spending-freeze/
The big news today is Obamas proposed spending freeze. Obama talks about a government spending freeze, January 25, 2010.
Fiscal liberals say this cuts spending at the exact time that we most need to increase it. See this and this.
Fiscal conservatives say this doesnt go nearly far enough. See this, this and this.
But I think theres a bigger issue that deserves some inquiry: is America being turned into a third world country?
As I wrote last June:
When the International Monetary Fund or World Bank offer to lend money to a struggling third-world country (or emerging market), they demand austerity measures.
As Wikipedia describes it:
In economics, austerity is when a national government reduces its spending in order to pay back creditors. Austerity is usually required when a governments fiscal deficit spending is felt to be unsustainable.
Development projects, welfare programs and other social spending are common areas of spending for cuts. In many countries, austerity measures have been associated with short-term standard of living declines until economic conditions improved once fiscal balance was achieved (such as in the United Kingdom under Margaret Thatcher, Canada under Jean Chrétien, and Spain under González).
Private banks, or institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF), may require that a country pursues an austerity policy if it wants to re-finance loans that are about to come due. The government may be asked to stop issuing subsidies or to otherwise reduce public spending. When the IMF requires such a policy, the terms are known as IMF conditionalities.
Wikipedia goes on to point out :
Austerity programs are frequently controversial, as they impact the poorest segments of the population and often lead to a wider separation between the rich and poor. In many situations, austerity programs are imposed on countries that were previously under dictatorial regimes, leading to criticism that populations are forced to repay the debts of their oppressors.

RACHEL MADDOW-ECONOMY THEN AND NOW BUSH OBAMA
You know Republicans up the past 8 years so bad, all they have is revisionism and scare tactics . Example, No terrorist attacks happened during the Bush years ? Obama created the deficit ? Things are not getting better ? Republicans have all the answers after a year in exile ? All of this is a desperate attempt by Republicans to gain back power so they can up this country for another 8 years . Rachel Maddow illustrates very well what Obama has done since Bush left office . She also shows why the stimulus though not perfect , did keep a recession from turning into a great depression . Though the down turns not over . I feel we need a second stimulus, only to help home owners, small business, community banks (no big banks) , states to pay down their debt, unemployed . When there is a recession you don’t have a spending freeze (Hoover economics 101) . When a bridge is broken, you place up a temporary one until the bridge is fixed again . You don’t close the bridge .

OBAMA AND THE LAST DAYS !!!
Christ’s words to his bride; John the Baptist’s words of praise to Christ, and the devout prayers he pours forth in Christ’s presence on behalf of Christians and especially for a certain knight. Through John’s prayers, the knight, with his own hands and with the helping hands of the glorious Virgin and of Peter and Paul, is armed and decorated with spiritual weapons, that is, with the virtues. Also, what each of these bodily weapons signifies, and about praying well.
Book 4 – Chapter 74 SAINT BRIDGET PATRON SAINT OF EUROPE PART IV
The good knight George had this intention, as did Maurice and many others, including the thief who hung on the cross. Without it, no one can lay a good foundation or come to his reward. The helmet should have two openings in front of the eyes to allow one to see in advance anything approaching. These openings are discernment concerning things to be done and caution concerning things to be omitted, for, without discernment and forethought, many things that seem good at the start turn out to be bad in the end.”
The Mother asked the knight again: “What do you still need, my son?” And he answered: “My hands are naked and have no armor.” The Mother said: “I will help you so that your hands will not be naked. Just as you have two bodily hands, you likewise have two spiritual ones. The right hand with which the sword is held symbolizes the work of justice. There should be five virtues like five fingers there. The first finger means that every just person must first be just to himself. This is done by guarding against anything in one’s speech, action, or example that might offend one’s neighbor so that one does not undo through one’s own disorderly behavior what one teaches to others or justly reprehends in them. The second finger means not to carry out justice or the deeds of justice for the sake of human favor or worldly greed but for the love of God alone. The third means not to show unjust fear of anyone nor to dissemble anything out of friendship nor to swerve away from justice for anyone’s sake, rich or poor, friend or foe.
The fourth means to be ready and willing to die for the sake of justice. The fifth means not only to do justice but also to love justice wisely. The result of this is that the sentence shows both mercy and justice, and the person who commits a lesser sin is corrected in one way, while the person who commits a greater is corrected in another way, and the person who sins from ignorance in one way, while the person who sins by design or malice in another way. Whoever has these five fingers should be careful not to sharpen his sword through impatience nor dull it through worldly pleasure nor drop it through imprudence or darken it through frivolity.
The left hand symbolizes godly prayer. This, too, has five fingers. The first is a firm belief in the articles of faith concerning the divine and human natures, putting it all into practice and believing all that the Holy Church, God’s bride, professes. The second is the refusal to sin deliberately against God along with the desire to make reparation for all the sins you have committed through contrition and atonement. The third is to entreat God to turn the love of the flesh into a spiritual love. The fourth is living for nothing else in the world but to give glory to God and to reduce the amount of sin. The fifth is never to rely on your own strength in any way but ever to fear God and to await death at any hour. There, my son, these are the two hands you should have. With the right hand you must brandish the sword of justice against the transgressors of justice. With the left hand of prayer you must plead for God’s help so that you never trust to your own righteousness nor become insolent toward God.”
