Please don’t forget to attend a tea party in your area today

Sandra Rose April 15, 2009

Hopefully most of you are aware of the massive anti-tax and anti-bailout “tea parties” planned for today all over America. The biggest tea parties will take place in Atlanta, New York and D.C. Please attend a tea party in your area and send a message to your legislators, Congress and to the Obama administration that you are tired of being over-taxed to pay for their overspending.

Congress just approved over $3 billion in wasteful spending for Obama. Don’t sit on your hands and let others do the hard work for you while you reap the benefits. Imagine the oppression we would still be living under if our grandparents didn’t get out there and march during the civil rights era.

March for your rights NOW to avoid paying for Obama’s overspending later on. Your children and their children will thank you!

YES WE CAN!

Does that figure include the TRUE amount that we have and will continue to spend in Iraq. The other side is fine with SPENDING as long as it’s for a war! They got richer over the last 8yrs so I am ok with the richest 2% paying more taxes. The more you make the more taxes you pay it’s been that way FOREVER!!! This is nothing new under the sun!

Are they going to have any real tea? I love hot tea!

WHERE WAS THE TEA PARTY WHEN BUSH WAS IN OFFICE?

@ BLACKBARBIE404:

In less than two months Obama has managed to spend more money than Bush spent on the entire Iraqi war in 5 years!

I’m all for a good protest but what will this achieve? Awareness? Okay and then what? Shit’s going to happen regardless. But hey, that’s just me.

Sandra, will we see YOU at the tea party since you’re encouraging everyone. Oh and pls invite racist and bigot fox news, Hannity, Rush, and all the rest of the republicans so we can get a GREAT turnout!!!!!

Man, where is the biggest atl one. I would love to go donned in a suit (repubs/conservs “respect” corporate authority) and take pictures and flip videos of the hatred that will fly.

Oh, just like Janet’s fat suit, I feel very late in recognizing that Obama Themed Posts = Sandra’s Bread and Butter = More ad revenue, etc. Notice how we can magically comment on these now?

but I can’t knock the hustle though.

Seperately, what’s good w/ the phantom ads when you accidentally click in a black (no text) area to the L and R of the posts? That’s kind of shady, and a tad CL-ish, if you know what I mean.

I got stuck in pop up hell today from the phantom ads.

Thanks auntie!

Down with Obama! (right?) Bush was the shyt!!
anti-PC

Thank you for the reminder, Auntie.

I am going to attend one which starts at seven this evening.

We need to let Obama and his puppeteers, Reid and Pelosi, know that our government is not a charity and it’s citizens are not blank checks.

where ws the tea party when bush was spending there money on wasteful wars for our freedom( which we ALREADY had)? oh thats right they were throwing all their money and their children money behind bush. but now they have a problem. give me a break
intown51

Oh, atl news, the J Hud R Thicke show last night was really good. Wasn’t 1 person in there under I’d say 27, which was very interesting.

Lesbian couples were up in there deeeeeeep though! What is it about me that makes the studs wanna mad dog/ice grill me when I walk by. I don’t want your chick that got tired of men hurting her and has now sworn off dyck. Not even. Plus I got my wife here with me, so you straight.

Scurry on, tough girl.

Back to the show, R Thicke seemed high, but he put on a good show. He has a lot of midlevel hits you may or may not remember. J Hud has great chops, but no real known songs other than Spotlight and Dreamgirls songs. We figured she was the headliner based on her Oscar, and the support people have for b/c of her family tragedy. Poor thing though, a perennial big gurl with no tatas nor booty. Too bad Paula Patton didn’t grace the stage (Thicke’s wife)
luvly1957

That’s well PC,

But did you feel the same way when Bush was sending all that money for WMD’s. Did you feel that way when he was giving the oil ppl tax breaks and now he sits on all his land in TX and where are you? I love ho skeptics and those who think that after 8 yrs the world is suppose to clear up with the click of a button in Nov and by January everythging is suppose to be a new yr!!!!!
carmelita79

just like when your house completely crumbles, it take a hell of a lot more money and time to put in the repairs. bush DESTROYED the global economy and worse his own country. so please all these protesters get over it.

Wow we are really riding hard on Obama who is trying to help but we didn’t say a damn thing with bush.. the real person that started, knew, and didn’t TRY to do a damn thing about the economy, katrina, iraq.. need I go on?!!?

Seriously Sandra, you should have gotten some more mileage out of that BowWow/Tranny feature. When Obama really f**ks up, you are going to look like the boy who cried wolf.
Daisy

In less than two months Obama has managed to spend more money than Bush spent on the entire Iraqi war in 5 years!

The above has NOT been proving true because we dont know the TRUE amount of $$ that has been spent in Iraq. Either way like I said the OTHER side is FINE with spending money as long as its for a WAR! They were not worried about the future paying that debt off no matter how much money Obama does or doesnt spend the war in Iraq still must be PAID! I will be the 1st to admit I did not support the stimulus plan but I did feel something had to be done to help turn the economy around. No matter what was or wasnt done either way it was/is going to take TIME to see any real improvements. I still support my President at the end of the day. He is still ok with me!

Don’t make assumptions. I am NO Bush fan. Bush was no conservative because he was the one that started these socialistic bailouts. And yes, his VERY unncessary war
has disgusted me as well. But Bush is gone, Obama is in.

He promised change, but all he did was continue the failed policies of his predecessor.

If you are broke, you don’t spend loads of more money and claim you are ‘spending your way out of debt’. It boggles my mind how many people fall for that idiotic logic.

Passing a hundred billion dollar stimulus bill without even READING it should outrage EVERYONE. I would like to know why many approve of this massive spending when many of the bucks are going to pet pork projects for Democrats AND Republicans.

Imalover

Sandra are you referring to Bush’s “war on terror” that he fraudulently entered by intentionally influencing post 911 shell shock americans with his manipulative style of fear politics? You’re really defending a war criminal, who’s responsible for the bloodshed of countless innocent lives?

Amen! My ultimate motivation for attending the tea party is the simple fact that I have a one year old nephew who will be paying for Obama disastrous economic policies as an adult.

It’s easy to fall back on the same tired ‘blame Bush’ or ‘what about Bush’ rhetoric when the current POTUS is just as disastrous, if not moreso.

Fenix6376

Ummmm.. I think the TEA (Taxed Enought Already) parties would be more effective if they waited until when/if taxes actually rose.

Just my thoughts.. Right now they seem to be overexaggerating.. Especially since nothing is going to change. Ms. Sandra you say protests bring awareness… Who isn’t aware of the stimulus plan and tax proposals of the Obama adminstrartion? those who are’t have their head in the sand and will continue to have their head in the sand.. So what awareness is this bringing?

How is he helping by spending us into oblivion? Clearly he is not experienced at running anything and the American people are waking up to that fact. No one wants their children to pay for the mess Obama is putting this country in. He needs to leave health care alone and just be happy being president since that title is all he wanted anyway.

**********************************************

He can start by Stop making the recession worse with overspending!! Don’t you understand that all this spending he is doing will lead to more taxes for you and me? At least Bush gave the wealthy tax cuts so they could continue to hire people and stay in business. Obama is the doing the exact opposite by propping up failing businesses and taxing the little guy. That’s why you are seeing double digit unemployment.
Imalover

Sooo, presenting the facts and pointing out Bush’s gross misuse of power is considered whining? You seem like one of those forgetful people who easily loses focus and quickly forgive their unrepentant oppressors.
Lala11_7

You’ll excuse me…

But the reason why Obama HAS to spend all of this money is because for DECADES NOBODY SPENT MONEY ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF THIS COUNTRY!!!

Do ANYONE realize that most of us that live in urban cities are getting water out of pipes that are almost 100 years old? Our children are sitting in public schools that are filled to the brim with hazardous materials that were built back when FDR was President? We’re using electrical grids that were built when Adam and Eve walked the earth…we have a internet structure in this country that is a complete JOKE compared to Korea and China…not to mention antiquated hospitals…public buildings, etc. and last but not least…BREAK OUT DEPENDENCY OFF OF FOREIGN OIL!!!

THAT’S WHAT OBAMA IS SPENDING THAT MONEY ON…to benefit EVERYONE…NOT JUST THE 1% (who are ironically the ones BEHIND these asinine “tea bag parties”)

I wouldn’t care if my children’s, children’s, children were in debt if it meant that they breathed cleaner air…didn’t pimp the Saudis…and got the same QUALITYpublic education that Suzy Snowflake gets…

And just like I was at a tea party to help raise awareness about the overspending of this administration, I will be at a kick-off fundraiser tonight to raise awareness for ovarian cancer.

As far as I know, neither taxes or cancer are particular about what race you are.
SunnyPA

No I don’t have cancer … but why wait until I get it to do something.

Same thing with protesting.

I Love these Obama post. They are so imformative. Please keep them open.

@ Lala I love everything you siad. & I voted for Obama because I thought those were the type of changes he would be enforcing. Hate to say I’m disappointed because he is not. Since he has been in office he has bailed out big companies. I know its only been a few months but at the track record he is setting, I’m not feeling him like I use to.

I thought he would do something about health insurance, high tutions things that effect the Middle class families. I have yet to see it.

So if I follow your logic, AIG and other failed businesses like GM are “infrastructure”? Because he’s only throwing millions at infrastructure. But he’s thrown BILLIONS at GM and AIG. So please tell me how that’s helping us when those companies are going to fail anyway and take our tax dollars with them? He needs to let them go into bankruptcy. That’s what bankruptcy is for. In the meantime, we will be paying higher taxes to bail them out!

They did use that money to hire and that’s why you had a job for the last 8 years. I don’t recall my friends being laid off until Obama took office. Now more than half of my friends have been laid off.
kcicero

Iscream I was watching CNN the other day and Ali Velshi talked about the new tax plan. Middle Class families with a school age child and another in college (i think making 100G) will go from paying 22,000 in taxes to 15,000. There was also a bill passed that created a new grant that people can get depending on what their major/field is.

I’m not the biggest Obama fan but I do think that those issues that you just mentioned will take time but Howard Dean was just talking about getting Health Care taken care of soon.

NOW AS FOR YOU SANDRA YOU KNOW YOU WRONG ABOUT THE RICH HIRING AMERICANS IF THEY GET TAX BREAKS!!!!!! LMBAO!!!!

YOU’RE RIGHT THE RICH COMPANIES DO HIRE MORE…..OVERSEAS…BUSH CUT TAXES FOR THE WEALTHY AND THEY IN TURN OUTSOURCE TO INDIA AND JAPAN. NOW WHEN THE PRESIDENT SAYS NO WAY AM I GOING TO CONTINUE THIS THEY GET SOME SINCE AND START HIRING AT HOME AGAIN.

I JUST HEARD ON CNN THAT SALLIE MAE IS RELOCATING ITS OVERSEAS DEPARTMENTS BACK IN AMERICA CREATING THOUSANDS OF JOBS. BUT OF COURSE FAUX NEWS WILL NOT TALK ABOUT THAT.

BUT I UNDERSTAND YOU BE THE SOLE DISSENTING VOICE IN THE BLACK BLOGOSPEHERE YOU GET ATTENTION AND HITS SO GOODJOB!
missnee

LOL

I wonder if any of the people at these protests understand what the boston tea party was about.

It just makes me so sad that the education in our country is so lacking that these assholes don’t seem to understand NO ONE has had their taxes go up, and when the Bush Tax Cuts expire, the rich will be taxed at the rate they were under the Clinton boom times.

More than that, that the Bush tax cuts were meant to stimulate the economy, AND THEY FAILED SPECTACULARLY–except as a proof that trickle-down is a fantasy.

Where were these people when Cheney and Halliburton were ransacking the treasury with no-bid , unaudited contracts that they never had to fulfill? Obama put the war in the budget, instead of off budget like W, but deficit spending is what Republicans do.

Don’t get me started on the idiots holding up signs that say “No taxation without representation”.

America complains too much for me, maybe that is why I turned off my tv it is crazy!What does race have to do with this?It just makes the claim irrelevant.But since race is always being brought up, blacks been paying for other people’s mistake for years.

Sandra YES people were being LAID OFF WAY before Jan 2009 again your “facts” are not correct. The economy was in the tank way before then. I know plenty of people who were unemployed way before Jan 20th!

@Ice its ONLY been 4mths good grief give the man time. He is working on healthcare as well. nothing was going to happen overnight and like any other candidate running for office they run on what they WANT to do but sadly we dont always get what we want. Again I have not agreed with everything he has done but McCain wasnt going to do any better. He said the economy was sound-SMH

@ Daisy

Why even bother…….

well i’ll say this before i turn in … when i lost my job in feb .. my healthcare went with it .. i got my COBRA package info .. and the total cost for just MY benefits were 589.00 A MONTH … now .. if u are uneployed .. where are u going to get that money from .. since the stimulus package was passed .. i got my new COBRA package .. and it will now cost me appox 178.00 a month .. even working from home making 48% less .. i can afford that … Thank You President Obama

and middle fanga to the rest of his haters ..!..

since the stimulus package was passed .. i got my new COBRA package .. and it will now cost me appox 178.00 a month

Half the folks out their tonight taxes WONT be affected they just mad the President DOES NOT look like him so now that they feel they have a real reason to stone him they are having at it and I think its funny.lol Welcome to my world for the last 8yrs!

I heard a guest on Rev Al breakdown why AIG/GM and other companies had to be bailed out. Now I did not support the bailout but had they gone belly up and everybodys pension and everything else went down the tubes as well Obama would have been BLAMED for not doing anything so he can’t win for losing bless his heart
pointhimout

#36, sweetie, can’t you just move to a place with newer pipes?

#42, the lemon white chocolate cake sounds yummy. bake that and tell us how it turned out.

#43, I too am disappointed, however, it’s only been a few months since he took office. I’d like to know what type of resolution or change were the American people expecting to see so suddenly. He promised change; we’re getting it. It’s almost like hoping someone will do the right thing. In actuality, that’s too vague because my idea and ur idea of doing the right thing are most likely two completely different things. What Obama envisions as change and what the American people thought, obviously, are proving to be two completely different things. sorry, ur kids will suffer beyond their years.

#47, hmmm, IDK Sandra. They were probably on the brink of being laid off anyways. I believe some of what Obama has inheritied was about to come to pass anways. Had Bush, well the republicans taken office, I dont think much would’ve have been different. Unfortunately, Obama will be blamed for it all. In four years, the republicans will look like robinhood to even the poorest of the poor. Oh yeah, 4 years. OBAMA WILL NOT BE BACK. Trust me. You people take it all in while you can.
Kat

lol @ some of these comments! i just want to know WHAT TYPE OF CHANGE DO YA’LL EXPECT OBAMA TO MAKE IN 3 MONTHS? SERIOUSLY….3 MONTHS? is this man really supposed to get us out of this MESS that BUSH created in 3 months? i didn’t know that obama was supposed to be GOD.

Both sides of the argument make no SENSE. WHY? Plain and simple you people have been brainwashed into believing there are two sides DEMO and REPUB. When in FACT it is not. These people are ALL friends, rich, powerful and SET on keeping you constantly on EDGE. Their is no FOX- CNN- MSNBC, when 1 company owns all 3 channels. WAKE UP!!!! WE are all being PLAYED BY A FEW. Obama is a puppet to BANKERS/THE FED as well as many other presidents we have HAD! Tea parties anit gonna do sh^% cause guess what happened after the tea party….everyone went home and continued on with their life. We are to stuck on the internet, phone, tv, video games and drugs to realy do anything about what’s happening in AMERICA!
flyqtnva

I would be proud of the first black PRESIDENT if he destroyed the FED…WE WILL ALWAYS BE IN DEBT..because we have our money being created with interest added on(with debt). This doesnt make since. WHY CANT WE PRODUCE OUR OWN MONEY IN THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH???
Like I said previously the people on TOP in GOVERNMENT only care about themselves.

@sandra…

you might as well give it up….I totally agree with you though.
miamore73

Kymestry thank you for that info!!!

That’s a wonderful thing. I’ve never understood what the hell was the point of COBRA. They’ve always known darn well that if someone is unemployed (unless they’re already rich)they couldn’t afford to spend $1000 a month to insure a family of 4. I think the insurance companies have counted on this. 4 less people for them to worry about covering.

TEAM OBAMA!!!

Please don’t forget to attend a tea party in your area today
