Let's just call it what it is. Obama was elected the first time because many Americans wanted to proudly say, "I voted for the first black president." (He's only half black, by the way.) And even after this half-black man does nothing in four years to improve America but instead focuses on our destruction, the same stupid Americans elected him again. About 90% of voting black Americans pulled Obama's lever or marked Obama's box on their ballot just because he has the same color skin that they have. They don't know or care anything about the issues, 16 trillion in debt and rising, the unemployment rate, rising energy bills, rising food prices, Fast & Furious, Benghazi, the fiscal cliff, or the ever increasing government debt. They only care that their guy is black. We've all thought it, we've all believed it. Of course, if we all say it we are labeled racists. Well, here's a black man who calls it like it is. He tells the truth finally. But because a black man is saying it, he won't be called a racist. Ah, the fairness of it all.

GOING APE, TAX REVENUE GOES UP IN SMOKE
According to 2009 figures released by the IRS, the average tax return paid $5847 in revenue. Using that number and the National Institutes of Health figures for grant money given to drug test Rhesus Monkeys, it costs 621.6 Americans $5847 each year.
Folks, there’s “a monkey on the back of every American,” thanks to the government.
NIH has spent $3,634,807 over the past decade funding research that forced monkeys to smoke and inject drugs. As specified in the grant, the ill-fated primates were forced to use “PCP, METH, heroin, cocaine, ethanol, and methadone.”
Once the monkeys were suitably smashed their behavior was studied, including during different phases of the female monkeys’ menstrual cycles and sexual activity of the drugged subjects.
The study also uses “interventions” as “treatment models” for monkeys who have been taught to use drugs. So we pay to addict them and then pay to treat them, oh, what a great program we fund.
In another federally funded study of drugged monkeys, the druggies were sometimes given a “trail mix” after their daily experimentation sessions, their reward for being obedient and submissive and not going ape during the sessions.
Another NIH project in 2001 gave $328,364 to a project called “A Primate Model of Drug Abuse.” The lead investigator was Dr. Marilyn Carroll, a professor at the University of Minnesota. A description of the grant as published by NIH: “Goals of the research are to use a rhesus monkey model of drug abuse to study factors affecting vulnerability to drug abuse and to evaluate behavioral and pharmacological treatment interventions. Routes of administration will include oral drug self-administration and smoking.” Yeah, you read it correctly.
The U of M study has been ongoing since 1990, costing 621.6 Americans $5847 each and every year.
The latest giftarama to Ms. Carroll of the U or M was on March 31, 2011, when she received her current award, $386,907 in tax dollars.
What have been the results of forcing monkeys to take drugs and get addicted? After studying them for decades and after huge expenditures of tax dollars, Ms. Carroll has determined that testing “revealed dilated pupils and slightly agitated hyperactive behavior.”
The result of the “studies” as reported by Ms. Carroll? “These findings indicate that smoked cocaine-base caused physiological effects similar to those reported in studies of human subjects.” What? It’s taken millions of tax dollars to determine what anyone with an ounce of common sense should know?
NIH has been giving away your money for years, under many administrations, for thousands of dubious so-called research projects, adding millions of dollars to the ballooning national debt, now approaching $15 trillion. Remember, 40 cents of each debt dollar we have is borrowed from China.
And right now, today? Obama wants to soak the “rich” for more money to fund more monkey tomfoolery. I’d say to him, Mr. Obama, the Census Bureau says the median household income in the U.S. is $52,000. How would you explain to America’s moms and dads who make $52,000 per year that the entire tax payment from 621.6 taxpayers went entirely to pay for meaningless monkey shenanigans?
How can you justify continuing to vilify the “rich,” demanding more tax money from them, when you have failed in your campaign promise to root out fraud, waste and abuse from the federal budget?
You, Mr. Obama, said you’d fix this, but you’ve done nothing to put a stop to this type of worthless monkey business, while at the same time spending us into bankruptcy and demanding more, more, more for you to spend. It will be my greatest pleasure to bid you farewell in 2012.
And here's a message for all you Obama Backers who have fallen into his "tax the rich" pit. We do not have a TAX problem, we have a SPENDING problem as evidenced by the drug-the-monkeys-program. Use your head. Think for yourself.

Stimulus Slush Fund
The Stimulus Bill was $862 billion. It was guaranteed to "create or save" a million jobs and keep unemployment below 8%. Those were Obama's "selling points." Actually, I consider his words political propaganda, Obama spin, falsehoods, misleading, and outright lies. Even top economists have said "create or save" means nothing because it is virtually impossible to measure how many jobs are "saved." It's all smoke and mirrors from Obama and crew.
Unemployment is at 9.7% and the economy continues to shed jobs rapidly. And where is all of the Stimulus money being spent to "create or save" jobs? Let me give you just a few examples of the hundreds of egregious examples of horrific government waste of OUR MONEY:
$90,000 to build a sidewalk leading to a ditch that leads to nowhere
$5,000 per person subsidy to purchase electric golf carts
$150,000 for a water park
$200,00 to help Siberian communities lobby Russia
$5 million to create a geothermal energy system at a shopping mall in Tennessee that "has been losing tenants for years and is mostly empty"
$500,000 to Arizona State University to study the genetic makeup of ants
$145,000 to Wake Forest University for a project to see how monkeys react under the influence of cocaine
$1.2 million to convert an abandoned train station in New Jersey into a museum
$233,000 to the University of California at San Diego to study why Africans don't vote. This created 12 jobs, and 7 of them are Africans in Africa
$762,372 for a Georgia Tech assistant professor to "study improvised music" and "hopefully also create satisfying works of art"
$390,000 to the State University of New York at Buffalo to study young adults who drink malt liquor and smoke marijuana
$554,76 to replace windows at a visitor center at Mt. St. Helen in Washington State that has been closed since 2007. The US Forest Service has no plans to reopen it
$210,000 to the University of Hawaii to study the learning patterns of honey bees
Several million dollars to create and install thousands of signs nationwide touting the stimulus project
and the most appropriate one?
$700,000 to develop a joke machine
Most appropriate because THE JOKE'S ON EVERYONE WHO VOTED FOR THIS OBAMANATION!
These are just some of the 100 most wasteful, reckless stimulus spending "projects" as reported by Senator Coburn and Senator McCain. (Google this and check it out)
So VP Biden hits the road and is currently travelling between states trying to convince us that this is the "Recovery Summer."
Washington thinks we are so stupid we will accept everything they do, like sheep to the slaughter.
Let's show 'em in November. VOTE THESE PEOPLE OUT! Democrat, Republican, Independent, I don't care who it is. If their voting record shows they have supported the Obama/Pelosi/Reid big-spending agenda, then they have to go. And if the new crew that gets voted in doesn't do what we want, let's Vote Them Out also. Short of an all out revolution it's the only power we have, the ballot box. Voting is a privilege, it's a right, and it's our duty. SO LET'S DO IT.
