			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I set out to write an article about racism against “White American”. This issue has been eating away at me since the recent comments made public from Jeremiah Wright. In search of other opinions I kept running into one name that stood out Michelle Obama.</p>
<p>Not only did I find her tone racist, but very Anti-American. Yes, she is an accomplished professional, but a bitter one. Much of what she has to say mimic’s Reverend Wright just in a less callous way.</p>
<p>This article will now focus on the stomach turning remarks from the &#8220;Next Possible First Lady&#8221;.</p>
<p>Most of you remember the comment in Wisconsin that Mrs. Obama made</p>
<blockquote><p>“For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Everyone makes mistakes so I gave her the benefit of the doubt, <strong><font color="#cc0033">strike one</font></strong>. Maybe she just wasn&#8217;t thinking about all the wonderful accomplishment that our country has made over the years.</p>
<p>The Jeremiah Wright comments were released shortly after that. These were some of the most Anti-American remarks our country has heard and they came from the Obama&#8217;s Pastor. Hummm…Ok I will give the benefit of the doubt one more time, <strong><font color="#cc0033">strike two</font></strong>.</p>
<p>Although in the back of my mind I kept the thought…… How could someone know a person for over 20 years, ask for their advice, but not agree with at least some of their beliefs? The Obama’s gave $22,500 in one year to the church that they <em>&#8220;don&#8217;t&#8221;</em> share the views of the pastor.</p>
<p>Then I find an article about Michelle spewing garbage about how America tried to hold her back as a child. She even goes as far as saying she was <em>“set up”</em> by America to not succeed. This was due to her poor performance on standardized tests that made it hard for her to attend Princeton. Michelle did end up getting into Princeton despite her low test scores because someone in America seen the potential within her. Although, according to Michelle she did it on her own with no help from anyone.</p>
<p>Below are some comments from Michelle Obama posted in an article in <a target="_blank" href="http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/03/10/080310fa_fact_collins?currentPage=all" title="The Other Obama">The New Yorker</a>.</p>
<p>At a church in South Carolina she states:</p>
<blockquote><p>“On behalf of my church home and my pastor, Reverend Wright, I bring greetings.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Hmmmm…greetings from a person she supposedly does not agree with.</p>
<p>A comment made by Michelle to a co-worker when meeting Barrack for the first time:</p>
<blockquote><p>“I figured that they were just impressed with any black man with a suit and a job,”</p></blockquote>
<p>Another comment:</p>
<blockquote><p>“What minority communities go through still represents the challenges, the legacies, of oppression and racism. You know, when you have cultures who feel like second-class citizens at some level . . . there’s this natural feeling within the community that we’re not good enough . . . we can’t be as smart as or as prepared—and it’s that internal struggle that is always the battle.”</p></blockquote>
<p>A statement from Michelle after the Wisconsin primary:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Black voters will wake up and get it.”</p></blockquote>
<p><font color="#cc0033"><strong>Three strikes and your out Michelle Obama.</strong></font></p>
<p>I am not saying that Mrs. Obama is racist against whites….but it is hard to ignore the comments she makes and her affiliation with Jeremiah Wright.</p>
<p>So why does the black community feel the <em>“white”</em> people owe them something? As far as I know it was the <em>“white”</em> men that fought for the freedom of the slaves plus my ancestors were not in America until after the Civil War. I am not a prejudice person I do not judge black or white.</p>
<p>I understand that black Americans feel like we are holding them back, but in reality there are more programs helping Black Americans than White Americans thanks to Affirmative Action. A young black person would be considered for college or a job because they are black. Our white sons will get consideration based on their merits. Where does that leave us? Why are there <em>&#8220;special rules&#8221;</em> based on gender and race? That itself is racist.</p>
<p>Statistically the majority of black people have a harder time in life. Whether it is lower income, living in bad areas, or a higher crime rate it all statistically points to the black community. Does that mean that we should judge black people by that? <font color="#cc0033"><strong>NEVER!</strong></font> It means that they should stop blaming the white people and take pride in themselves.</p>
<p>Listen to <a target="_blank" href="http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2008/03/bill_cosby_and_the_black_commu.html" title="Bill Cosby and the black community: How his message is being received">Bill Cosby&#8217;s</a> message: &#8220;You are the only one who can change your life, do not lay the blame on someone else.&#8221;</p>
<p>The bottom line is there are white people that are prejudice, but most of us have grown up and realized that it is individuals that cause their own problems, not just black people. We should treat each other as fellow human beings because we all have to live in the same world together.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The big buzz this week is the economy, everyone is talking about the stimulus checks arriving “early” (4 days), the feds cutting rates, and the huge increase in gas prices.</p>
<p>Its all talk, the normal American family is struggling more this week than last and I am sure it will continue to get worse. The news of the stimulus arriving early has Americans anxious to get some extra money in their pockets probably to just pay their bills. On Monday Boiled Over had a large amount of traffic from people searching when they would get their check.</p>
<p>Gas is now at $3.75 a gallon and groceries went up again this week. We feel like we are working only to eat and put gas in the car to get to work. “<font color="#cc0033">Working for Nothing</font>”<img align="right" src="http://www.boiledover.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/angry1.jpg" alt="boiled over" /></p>
<p>I found this from an article on <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ajc.com/business/content/shared/news/stories/2008/04/BUSH_ECON30_PBP.html?cxntlid=inform_artr" title="Bush tells Congress to move on economic legislation">Ajc.com</a></p>
<blockquote><p>McCain and Democratic hopeful Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton have said they favor suspending the federal excise tax on gasoline through the summer driving season.</p>
<p>Clinton&#8217;s Democratic rival, Sen. Barack Obama, has said suspending the tax &#8211; 18.4 cents per gallon &#8211; would save consumers barely enough to buy half a tank of gas, belittling the idea as a band-aid approach to the larger issue of energy security.</p></blockquote>
<p>This may only be a band-aid approach, but every little bit counts at this point. We all know that something must be done about our dependence on oil, but realistically it will take many years to enact any energy plan. We need help <strong><font color="#cc0033">NOW, TODAY</font></strong>! If all you have is a band-aid, as long as its free I’ll take it!</p>
<p>As the American people take two steps back a day, the politicians are playing the blame game and getting nothing done.</p>
<p>A headline this week that about made me fall out of my chair:</p>
<blockquote><p>Bush Calls on Congress to Help the American People</p></blockquote>
<p>Yeah ok weren’t you the jerk that got us in this mess in the first place? Eight years of his administration running this country and people are loosing their homes, can’t pay for a tank of gas and now there’s talk of a possible food crisis……oh boy we’re in for the long haul.</p>
<p>So for a little humor and to put a smile on everyone’s face I am posting an email I received from a friend. I wish I knew who wrote it so I could give them the proper credit…Enjoy!<br />
<img vspace="10" align="right" src="http://www.boiledover.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/money1.jpg" hspace="10" alt="economy" /><br />
Dear Internal Revenue Service:</p>
<p>Enclosed you will find my 2008 tax return showing that I owe $3,407.00 in taxes.</p>
<p>Please note the attached article from the USA Today newspaper; dated 12 November, wherein you will see the Pentagon (Department of Defense) is paying $171.50 per hammer and NASA has paid $600.00 per toilet seat.</p>
<p>I am enclosing four (4) toilet seats (valued @ $2,400) and six (6) hammers valued @ $1,029), which I secured at Home Depot, bringing my total remittance to $3,429.00.</p>
<p>Please apply the overpayment of $22.00 to the &#8220;Presidential Election Fund,&#8221; as noted on my return.</p>
<p>You can do this inexpensively by sending them one 1.5&#8243; Phillips Head screw (see aforementioned article from USA Today newspaper detailing how H.U.D. pays $22.00 each for 1.5&#8243; Phillips Head Screws).</p>
<p>One screw is enclosed for your convenience.</p>
<p>It has been a pleasure to pay my tax bill this year, and I look forward to paying it again next year.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>A Satisfied Taxpayer</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Change, Change, Change, we all need it, but someone is promoting it without a plan or so it seems. Yes, I am speaking of Mr. Barack Hussein Obama. Oh wait I wasn’t being politically correct so let me rephrase myself Mr. Barack Obama is spouting about “Change”, “Change We Can Believe In.”</p>
<p>Please tell us, how you are going to change things in this country? I have been eagerly listening to all of the presidential candidates and I have not heard how Mr. Obama plans to “Change” our country. He talks a lot of great stuff, uniting the country, bringing us as one again….. Last time I checked the president needed the approval of the Congress and the House to invoke any “Change”. He has not shown many instances where he has gone against the grain and fought for something that he believed in. When looking for information on his bipartition efforts they were far and few between, “Thin” as many have called them.<br />
<img vspace="5" align="right" src="http://www.boiledover.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/obama1.jpg" hspace="10" alt="Barack Obama" /><br />
How can this one man be convincing so many ‘young” voters that he will be able to become Commander and Chief and “Change” America. Naivety! We Americans that have been around the block know that change is only as good as the people that want to change it. If you are looking for someone to work across party lines, John McCain or Hillary Clinton are much better qualified.</p>
<p>I admire Mr. Obama’s message and wish that it was that easy, but can we really just take his word for it, he is a politician?! Mr. Obama did work on an Illinois version of the earned-income tax credit, but he also acquired a certain reputation for skipping tough votes. For example there was a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/03/more_evidence_of_obamas_bipart.html" title="Real Clear Politics">key gun-control vote</a> that he missed in December 1999. Why? He was in Hawaii on vacation.<br />
I feel that the main stream media has been far too lenient with Mr. Obama, while they continue to smear the other “two” candidates it is obvious that all they do is promote Obama’s “Change” with empty promises.</p>
<p>What are you going to “Change” and how are you going to invoke that &#8220;Change&#8221; Mr. Obama?</p>
<p>Answer a few real questions from real Americans, not those drones you have believing that you alone can change this country. Anyone that has taken a Government class and passed knows it can not be done alone.</p>

<p><em>We do not endorse any candidate for president at this time, we enjoy picking on all of them, because they are politicians.</em></p>
