There are two reasons for this being my final post to Countervailing Truths. First, I feel that the truth is out about Barack Obama. His agenda has been so radical that the vast majority of Americans now know that they made a mistake in electing him. His profligate spending, radical socialist agenda for healthcare and energy, and the certainty that he lied to us about tax increases have contributed to his drop in popularity, and he will be stopped.
The second reason for suspending Countervailing Truths is the amount of time it takes for me to research and publish posts. I have a new job that starts on August 7th, and I want to focus 100% on my new career.
From time to time, however, I will continue to forward emails I receive that are worthy of forwarding.
I am proud to be an American conservative and even prouder of the way we have come together to stop Obama & Co. in their tracks. While we haven't officially stopped him yet, I'm convinced that our collective behind the scenes activities have delivered the truth to millions of Americans, and they will finish the job.
I predict that the U.S. House of Representatives, and maybe even the U.S. Senate, will flip back to the Republicans next November, and that Barack Obama will be run out of town on a rail in November of 2012.
Perhaps this time the Republicans will keep their noses clean and start representing the American people for a change.

The Truth About America's Financial Condition
- The United States is now the most indebted civilization in the history of the world and ground zero for the financial crisis.
- The United States government's national debt has now hit $11.5 TRILLION and is growing at the rate of about $3.88 billion a day. That's $2.7 million per minute, and $44,000 per second!
- The federal budget deficit is exploding higher, now at $1.84 trillion ... equal to almost 13 percent of GDP — hocking our children and grandchildren's lives to an insurmountable mountain of debt that would require more than 80 percent of the world's surplus savings to finance.
- The Federal Reserve, the steward of the nation's dollar, is in hock up to its eyeballs, its balance sheet having ballooned from $860 billion in liabilities in September 2008 to more than $2 trillion today, and likely to rocket even higher as the Fed continues to print money out of thin air like there's no tomorrow.
- Then there are the unfunded government IOUs coming due for Social Security, Medicare, and Federal pension payments — totaling an estimated $104 TRILLION.
When will the Obamamaniacs wake up?

New Immigration Law
This 2-minute video should be mandatory viewing for every US citizen. It's an immigration law passed by your US House of Representatives. It is so egregious that Minority Leader Boehner called the law "sh*t"...
Politics, Chicago Style
In the January 24th issue of the New York Post was a short column entitled "Replacing Michelle". Here it is, word for word...
"Some employees are simply irreplaceable. Take Michelle Obama: The University of Chicago Medical center hired her in 2002 to run "programs for community relations, neighborhood outreach, volunteer recruitment, staff diversity and minority contracting". In 2005 , the hospital raised her salary from $120,000 to $317,000 -- nearly twice what her husband made as a Senator.
Oh, did we mention that her husband had just become a US Senator? He sure had. Requested a $1 million earmark for the UC Medical Center, in fact. Way to network Michelle! But now that Mrs. Obama has resigned, the hospital says her position will remain unfilled. How can that be, if the work she did was vital enough to be worth $317,000?
We can think of only one explanation: Senator Roland Burris's wife wasn't interested. Let me add that Michelle's position was a half time, 20 hour a week job. And to think they were critical of Blagoyovich's wife for taking $100,000 in fuzzy real estate commission!"
So let me review that for you:
1. While her husband was an Illinois state senator, Michelle Obama was hired for a 20-hour a week job at UC Medical Center for which she was paid $120,000 a year.
2. Her husband became a US Senator and her salary at the UC Medical Center was raised to $317,000.
3. Shortly after becoming a US Senator, her husband got Michelle's employers (UC Medical Center) a $1 Million earmark grant.
4. When her husband became President of the United States, and Michelle moved on to the White House, her position at the hospital was eliminated.
See any connection?

Change the Subject!
Do you actually think, Mssrs. Holder & Obama, that we don't know what you're doing? Obama's popularity is sinking like The Titanic and you need to change the subject...and what better subject than "Blame Bush?
Independent’s Day
Obama doesn't want to look back, but Attorney General Eric Holder may probe Bush-era torture anyway.

It's the morning after Independence Day, and Eric Holder Jr. is feeling the weight of history. The night before, he'd stood on the roof of the White House alongside the president of the United States, leaning over a railing to watch fireworks burst over the Mall, the monuments to Lincoln and Washington aglow at either end. "I was so struck by the fact that for the first time in history an African-American was presiding over this celebration of what our nation is all about," he says. Now, sitting at his kitchen table in jeans and a gray polo shirt, as his 11-year-old son, Buddy, dashes in and out of the room, Holder is reflecting on his own role. He doesn't dwell on the fact that he's the country's first black attorney general. He is focused instead on the tension that the best of his predecessors have confronted: how does one faithfully serve both the law and the president?
Alone among cabinet officers, attorneys general are partisan appointees expected to rise above partisanship. All struggle to find a happy medium between loyalty and independence. Few succeed. At one extreme looms Alberto Gonzales, who allowed the Justice Department to be run like Tammany Hall. At the other is Janet Reno, whose righteousness and folksy eccentricities marginalized her within the Clinton administration. Lean too far one way and you corrupt the office, too far the other way and you render yourself impotent. Mindful of history, Holder is trying to get the balance right. "You have the responsibility of enforcing the nation's laws, and you have to be seen as neutral, detached, and nonpartisan in that effort," Holder says. "But the reality of being A.G. is that I'm also part of the president's team. I want the president to succeed; I campaigned for him. I share his world view and values."
These are not just the philosophical musings of a new attorney general. Holder, 58, may be on the verge of asserting his independence in a profound way. Four knowledgeable sources tell NEWSWEEK that he is now leaning toward appointing a prosecutor to investigate the Bush administration's brutal interrogation practices, something the president has been reluctant to do.
While no final decision has been made, an announcement could come in a matter of weeks, say these sources, who decline to be identified discussing a sensitive law-enforcement matter. Such a decision would roil the country, would likely plunge Washington into a new round of partisan warfare, and could even imperil Obama's domestic priorities, including health care and energy reform. Holder knows all this, and he has been wrestling with the question for months. "I hope that whatever decision I make would not have a negative impact on the president's agenda," he says. "But that can't be a part of my decision."

The Second Revolution
This guy's video on YouTube has been so popular that Obama called him personally. He said that he was very disturbed with the video and invited him to the White House. Obama also said he wanted the White House to handle the press and not to talk about the video or the White House visit. Watch it now to find out why. This may be the best six minutes you will ever invest in your future and the future of America...
