There seems to be representation or perhaps, misrepresentation of President Obama and the majority Democrats on Capitol Hill and their political philosophy and values, or lack thereof, based on our Constitutional values.
Here is what Thomas Jefferson said, “A government big enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take everything you have.”
Now, may I present to President Obama and the liberal majority Democrat Party members on Capitol Hill a Cato quote by John Trenchard and Thomas Gordon. It exemplifies a short lesson on life, liberty, and common sense economics?
Cato Quote: "By Liberty I understand the Power which every Man has over his own Actions, and his Right to enjoy the Fruits of his Labour, Art, and Industry, as far as by it he hurts not the Society, or any Members of it, by taking from any Member, or by hindering him from enjoying what he himself enjoys. The Fruits of a Man's honest Industry are the just Rewards of it, ascertained to him by natural and eternal Equity, as is his Title to use them in the Manner which he thinks fit: And thus, with the above Limitations, every Man is sole Lord and Arbitrer of his own private Actions and Property."
By: John Trenchard (1662-1723) & Thomas Gordon (169?-1750)
Source: Letter 62 (1722) of Cato's Letters (1720-1723), quoted by Ronald Hamowy, "Cato's Letters, John Locke, and the Republican Paradigm", in Edward J. Harpham (Ed.), John Locke's Two Treatises of Government: New Interpretations (Lawrence: University Press of Kansas, 1992), p. 157. http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/Cato.Quote.5EED
In summary, is it that President Obama and the majority Democrat Party members on Capitol Hill just do not know, do not care, or are they just ignoring our American History and our founding fathers?
Life, liberty, and common sense economics is what America, Judeo-Christian values, and our Constitution is all about.

Baby Barry and his Unions, with no responsibility for a failing economy
By Oscar Y. Harward
Wake up President Obama. While you may be blinded by your own political viewpoints, Americans are aware of your uncertainties. America is in a recession; however, Obama is in the campaign cycle rather than governing to create and/or expand new jobs. On each political stop, Obama continues to blame President GW Bush for today’s economic problem. Obama appears to have no tried and proven effective remedies. Obama fails to give Bush any credit for his success in the past.
There is much evidence of wasteful spending under the President Obama and majority Democrat Party plan on Capitol Hill of Americans’ taxpayers’ fund on the $870 Billion ‘stimulus’ and other so-called bailouts and jobs’ bills. Included in the $870 Billion stimulus, the Obama administration spent some funds to purchase and install signs noting a project as part of the ‘stimulus’. Americans needs jobs, not signs.
Obama is now proposing an additional $50 Billion in infrastructure; on 150,000 of new roads. Please, Mr. President, if my memory serves me correctly, you and your majority Democrats on Capitol Hill told us a majority of the $870 Billion was for infrastructure. Again, please Mr. President, show us where the earlier infrastructure funds went paying for new roads. How much debt are you Mr. President, and the Democrat Party, willing to place on the American taxpayers, their children, and their children?
Obama’s concern is to make sure these projects go to the Unions, at taxpayers’ expense. Obama’s proposed jobs are temporary; America needs new and expanding permanent jobs.
Based on a report from LubbockOnline.com “Much of the $1 trillion in stimulus money that has been spent has gone to unions and union jobs. Obama is keeping more than half of the original stimulus money in reserve to buy votes for himself and other Democrats in 2012.”
Tax cuts and/or other incentives in the private sector for businesses could/would create new and expanding jobs.
American taxpayers may create a new committee, “Democrats Stop Unions’ Career Killing” (Democrats SUCK), against Obama and the most radical liberal spending majority Democrat Party ever on Capitol Hill.
Has America reached a point when we should refer to President Obama as “Baby Barry”? Obama’s most interest is to fuel the Unions with taxpayers’ funding, as he continues to accept no responsibility for his failing economy decision making process.

Labor Day 2010: Obama and Democrats spending like a child in a candy store
By Oscar Y. Harward
Labor Day 2010 is here. Labor Day is a federal holiday observed on the first Monday in September of each year. Labor Day is usually celebrated as the end of summer for working men and women. This year may be different with much higher than normal unemployed Americans.
This year, President Obama and the majority Democrat Party on Capitol Hill passed ObamaCare, although Americans said ‘NO’ to this legislation. President Obama and the majority Democrat Party merely decided to dispel all political polls and “cram ObamaCare down (y)our throats”. Many issues which Americans challenged the Democrat Party with on ObamaCare legislation, but denied by Democrat Party leaders, are now determined to be incorporated within this law.
Last year, President Obama and the majority Capitol Hill Democrat Party wrote and passed an $870 Billion “Stimulus” bill to “save or create jobs”; reversing unemployment. The results are that unemployment went up and many of the recipients were Labor Unions and/or many undefined fraudulent job creations. Under Obama and the Democrat Party plans as legislated, Labor Unions win while the taxpayers lose. Now, America is in deeper financial despair with no promising economic improvements to our national wealth.
Unemployment numbers of American rose to 9.6% in August 2010 as there is more labor availability than jobs’. Over the last four (4) decades, organized labor has been demanding and receiving higher wages and more benefits. These expansions of rising demands have reached a point in time where many American employers have become unable to compete in the world market economy. With the more and increasing demands, employers have been required to relocate to other areas across America, or perhaps another country, where less demands are required. In lieu of these transfers, employers have been forced to close the businesses, leaving the employees without a job. Manufacturing jobs are evaporating from our economy and it appears labor union leaders do not even care.
As Thomas Jefferson said,"[A] wise and frugal government ... shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."

President Obama, Democrat Party moving America to New World Order
In June 2009, Honduran President Zelaya was ousted after defying a Supreme Court order to drop plans to change their Constitution. The resulting coup had the support of the Honduran Supreme Court, Congress, and the majority of its citizens.
President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton rejected the decision to depose President Zelaya. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/07/AR2009070702174.htm
As Honduras was protecting its Democracy, President Zelaya surrounded himself with some of his OAS friends like Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Daniel Ortego, and of course Hillary Clinton.
In a new election on Nov. 29, 2009, Porfirio Lobo was elected new President of Honduras overwhelmingly over the election of candidate and previously ousted President Zelaya.
A UN group concluded that the removal of President Manuel Zelaya, "was constitutional” under the laws of their country.
I correlate this issue to illustrate how President Obama and Hillary Clinton are so erroneous in their decision making process.
Arizona’s newly enacted SB1070 is to stop and/or control the illegal immigration and the criminal activity associated within. President Obama and AG Holder filed a lawsuit challenging the new law. US District Judge Susan Bolton, in a somewhat split decision, upheld part of the law and threw out part of the law. Arizona appealed Judge Bolton’s decision to throw out portions of the law.
President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton referred/appealed the legislation to the United Nations U.N. Human Rights Council for ‘review’. Where is the main stream on this issue?
President Obama and Hillary Clinton must understand that America is under the US Constitution and US Code, both of which the Obama administration needs to learn and follow themselves. Additionally, Arizona’s newly enacted law SB1070 is in compliance with Article X of the Constitution. President Obama and Hillary Clinton must further understand that Americans overwhelmingly support our Constitution and rejects any United Nations’ New World Order.
Where is the leadership of the Democrat Party on Capitol Hill and/or anywhere else in America? Does the silence of the Democrat Party indicate their support of President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as they move our nation toward a UN New World Order?
