Barack Obama's 2012 New Year's Resolution(s) GOP Fundraiser | Photo 06
uploaded by Edmund Jenks
This morning, the Republican Party announced a fundraiser that had it’s tongue planted in it’s political cheek!
Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus appeared on Fox News Channel soon after live video of the New Year’s fireworks display from the bridge that spans across Sydney Harbor in Australia that signaled in 2012. Reince directed everyone to go to their computers and send a New Year’s Resolution card from a GOP website … but there was a catch, the resolution that one would be sending would be a proposed resolution that Barack Obama made with himself.

RNC Releases New Year’s Resolution Cards
27 December 2011 – Posted by: Johanna Persing
The Republican National Committee (RNC) launched www.ObamaResolutions.com with New Year’s Resolution cards featuring President Obama and his liberal buddies:
“As Americans celebrate the holidays with their friends and families, they will have a chance to reflect on 2011 — most notably the failed leadership and reckless economic policies under President Obama and his Democrat friends,” said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus.
“So, we’ve launched www.ObamaResolutions.com with New Year’s Resolution cards that you can send to your friends and family reminding them of ways that Democrats could improve in 2012.
“We thought the president could work on a few things like his campaign slogan(s), the infamous ‘shovel ready projects’ and fulfilling the promises he made to the American people. For Senate Majority Leader Reid, we were hoping he could lead the Democrat Senate to pass a budget for the first time in nearly 1000 days. And, we hope President Obama’s own ‘Wall Street guy’ Jon Corzine can find the $1.2 billion dollars of clients’ money he gambled away.
“As we enter 2012, Republicans stand ready to tackle the enormous challenges this country faces. Americans can only hope President Obama and the Democrats will be ready to do the same.”
[Reference Here]
The Priebus premise, Barack sitting there pondering on what he could do better as President, is pretty good … but the way the folks at the RNC put this together, frankly, could have been a little stronger and possibly a bit more humorous.
EXAMPLE:
“I resolve to play only twenty-four rounds of Golf (2 per month) in 2012 as opposed to my 30 rounds per year average (90 rounds to date … last one, yesterday in Hawaii) since taking office.”
Surfing the GOP.com website, one comes up with great fodder for proposed resolutions that not only have the sting of truth, but can play to the humor of ineptness this 44th Presidency has reined down on the American people.
For another example, a posting titled “The Big Fail – Obama By The Numbers” contained information that if developed in this way would make a great resolution for a Barack Obama card:
“I resolve to only ask that the debt ceiling be raised another 1.2 Trillion dollars for fiscal year 2012″
After reading most of what is contained in the “By The Numbers” posting (example excerpted below) … THAT would be a laugh.
$15.1 Trillion:Current National Debt ($15,073,380,701,589.57). (U.S. Treasury Department, Accessed 12/6/11)
$9.1 Trillion:Amount Obama’s FY2012 Budget Would Add To The Debt Through FY2021. (OMB, 9/1/11)
$5.2 Trillion:Total Interest Payments On The National Debt Due To Obama’s Proposed Budget, FY2012-2021. (OMB, 9/1/11)
$4.4 Trillion:Added To The National Debt Since Obama Took Office. (U.S. Treasury Department, Accessed 12/6/11)
$2.6 Trillion:True Cost Of ObamaCare Once Fully Implemented. (Office Of The Speaker Of The U.S. House Of Representatives, Report, 1/6/11)
$1.75 Trillion:Annual Cost Of Federal Regulations. (Small Business Administration, September 2010)
Sadly, John Boehner, the Republican leader in the House of Representatives, would give in to this 2012 New Year’s Resolution for an increased debt ceiling from the President and Barack Obama would be the only one laughing here in the last year (hopefully) of Carter’s Second Term.
Happy New Year!

WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) today wrote to National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) member and former Service Employees International Union (SEIU) official Craig Becker to inquire about his involvement in union intimidation efforts. The letter sent to Becker comes after the SEIU’s “Contract Campaign Manual” was made public. The handbook tells union members to purposefully try to damage their employers’ reputations by coming up with allegations against their employers and managers and to even break the law to gain leverage in contract negotiations.
In the letter, Hatch writes that, “the manual explicitly advises union members to engage in tactics designed to attack the reputation of an employer as well as its managers and to purposefully damage an employer’s relationship with vendors and customers. In addition, it advises employees to uncover “dirt” on management officials and publicize the information in order to obtain leverage in contract negotiations. The manual even goes so far as to encourage union members to disobey certain laws when it serves the union’s purposes.”
Once Obama gets his union leaders their political appointments this becomes the law of the land. The NLRB continued attacks on the union free workforce and their most recent overturn of the 42 day petition prior to any union election. That now stands at 17 days from petition to election and the NLRB ruling goes into effect Apr. 30, 2012.
As I travel around the country speaking to those I deal with there is a growing consensus that employment creators will simply not be growing their businesses. They are intentionally keeping them small, independent and free from union take over. I have talked with many an employer who dearly wanted to expand but didn't want to loose his business to a union so refused to accept all new demands for product delivery that couldn't be met with his current work force.
Knowing this I don't see the unemployment stats getting any better as fast as they could.

All perfectly spot-on! The one thing I'd add is that members of the SEIU wrote about the creation of what has become known as the "Occupy Movement" - the next phase for this progressive advocacy effort in support of an entitlement society is to agitate ... that is all they have, AGITATION ... this is not a serious American political movement and it will come back to bite the Democrat Political Party in the 2012 elections.
