WASHINGTON – The number of people in the U.S. who are in poverty is on track for a record increase on President Barack Obama's watch, with the ranks of working-age poor approaching 1960s levels that led to the national war on poverty.

Before and after!
Andrew in the middle of the Orange Line... on defense, quarterback is ready for snap... notice size of front three players, Andrew is down and ready too....
Grandma and I headed to OKC and then to Edmond last night to watch Andrew and the (Stillwater) Oklahoma Cowboys play football in the Edmond Football League.
Short version here... They WON, again... 19-6!
And guess what... with plays like this... is it any wonder? Andrew is in stance in middle of defense line and in the next photo he has the quarterback on his back, after blowing by not one, not two... but three of the defense's biggest players...
and this was the first series of plays!!! With young men playing like this, this team will be unbeatable!
Needless to say, his level of playing improved with each down and by the end of the game, their opponents were tripping clipping and doing about everything to stop him, and could not do it. I watched as this gentle giant ... came alive, and as the punches were thrown, his elbow found it's way to a player's chin who had actually punched him in the play before, and he fell accidentally on the biggest player holding him to the ground by accident...
In the end ... Andrew Blankinship was the star and my photos prove it, not my words!
PS.. Andrew, this is why you don't want the ball.... they will all try to do what you did so great last night... You were the big monster in the barn... and played great!
This is how it's done!
and he blew by their big 3 and booooooom! have a dirt sandwich Mr. QB!
Uncle Jake will be proud to see this photo.. having gone to the OU and Dallas Cowboys football camps... when he played with the Perkins-Tryon Demons... He could do this too..
Andrew, you ruled. It takes a team to win, and in a very short amount of time, the Oklahoma Cowboys have become just that. I saw them pull off plays one might expect from high school boys - with ease, passing and running.
Last night, in Edmond, it was Blankinship on Defense and Gundy on Offense that "led" their team to victory!

We remember.... and we pray....
On September 11, 2001, Americans awoke to evil on our shores. On this solemn day of remembrance, we hold the victims and their families in our thoughts andprayers. We recall the many acts of heroism on that day, and we honor those who work tirelessly to prevent another attack. May God bless our great country and those who defend her.
Obubba... in every way the opposite of all our past great leaders... never tells the truth, done nothing honorable, and has done not one thing that would make you hold him up as a man of honor for your children to be 'like'... a human zero, you cannot add to or take away from...
Everyone should read this from an Obama classmate at Columbia.
WAYNE ALLYN ROOT: Overwhelm the system
Barack Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.
Barack Obama is my college classmate (Columbia University, class of '83). As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University. They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government. Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.
-- Universal health care. The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?
-- Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around."
-- Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state? Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Obama's plan all along. His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.
-- Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America. But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security.
-- Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues). All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America. The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means.
-- Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition.
With the acts outlined above, Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.
Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme -- all devised by my Columbia University college classmate Barack Obama using the Cloward and Piven Plan.

usdebtclock.org
clock online is live, can not use iPhone as it is flash... contact adobe.. haha.. yeah right!
Anyho... it was 11+ Trillion when obubba took office, check it out now..
this was posted at 9:36AM on 9/9/2010 (this am). Go and watch and wonder where the money is being spent.. it is truly amazing to watch. Remember, right now each month we have to find a BILLION dollars interest for each Trillion dollars we have spent. This amount of debt means we need 13.5 Billion for just interest each month!
The clock shows what each person in the USA owes as part of the national debt.
(It takes 34,000 years spending one dollar a second to spend ONE Trillion dollars and we are in debt 13.5!)
Isabella Ann, at two - now owes as part of her birthright of being born a US citizen, $52,298 and climbing!
This is the amount of the national debt each of us has on our back... this is what we are leaving behind if we don't stop the spending NOW!
We need new ideas in Washington. Anyone who has been there over two terms needs to go. If we cannot get things done in hour meetings, or in two years of trying, then replacement is in order! Enough of this crazy merrygoround ... Obubba is now running around saying he is for conservative values, and pushing Health care,Climate care, Car care, Appliance care, etc care, and all the progressive liberal policies on the citizens! ( He wants more dollars for the unions calling it jobs care instead of a political payoff; it is what it is... haha.. we need a brain fix if we keep "caring"... )
The Republicans may have started the train running away... but even they did not ask for 9/11 to happen and this wonderful huge country to come to stand still.... and the war that followed to protect us and make us stronger, so it took a lot to get things going again...
So what did Democrat Obubba do, he took over by offering us change. We were not going broke fast enough, so he threw open the throttle, and we now have a runaway train... with him in the cabin sticking his head out hollering " not my deal"... I don't know what happened, it all started before me... instead of throwing on the brakes, stopping, fixing and then start moving again...
and in Washington, they believe we average Americans are the dumbest folks alive and won't figure it out.
I am not sure how many of us might be close to bankruptcy, but imagine being dead broke and spending a 10000 dollars a day and going to your banker and asking for a loan... and telling him your business has no workers and no plans to have workers, as working is not important since you make no goods, you have no costs, just need to spend 10000 a day. (Well, I do know mine might have me committed before he laughed and said not NO but Heck NO!)
We have no jobs in this country since we produce nothing here. We are a nation of consumers. Everything we buy is made overseas.
I think we need a don't buy it if its not built in the USA mentality. The way Wal mart was when they rose to fame in their early years touting "Made in America"... before they became china mart... It might cost more, since no one buys much of it, but as we all would go to buying, the cost would come down.. To heck with the world, let's save the USA!
your thoughts...???
Take it for what it is...
A guy was traveling through Mexico on vacation when, low and behold,he lost his wallet and all identification. Cutting his trip short,he attempted to make his way home, but was stopped by a MexicanCustoms Agent at the Tijuana border."May I see your identification, por favor, señor?" asked the agent."I'm sorry, but I lost my wallet," replied the guy."Si, amigo, I hear that every day. No ID, no crossing the border,"said the agent."But I can prove that I'm an American!" he exclaimed. "I have apicture of Bill Clinton tattooed on one butt cheek and a picture ofHillary Clinton tattooed on the other.""This I must see," replied the agent. With that, the Americandropped his pants and bent over in front of the agent."Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, you're right!" exclaimed the agent. "Have a safe trip back to Chicago, Senor.""Thanks!" he said. "But why do you think I'm from Chicago ?"The agent replied, "I recognized Barack Obama in the middle!
