Recently in my email I received the below Ten Commandments from the Patriot Update.  Here they are below with my commentary on the sources and other things. 

Patriot Update Exclusive:
The Ten Commandments According to Obama
© 2009 The Patriot Update

“After observing Obama on the campaign trail and during his first six months in office, we have concluded that our President lives and governs according to his own set of "Ten Commandments." They're certainly NOT the Ten Commandments you learned in Sunday school. In fact, many are the direct opposite! To prove that our conclusions are correct, you will find a link to source documentation for each commandment on the Patriot Update web site.

I Thou shalt have no God in America, except for me. For we are no longer a Christian nation and, after all, I am the chosen One. (And like God, I do not have a birth certificate.) [“Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama tells CBN news that 'America is no longer just a Christian nation' and laid out ways both religious conservatives and liberals can begin to find common ground.'  Senator Obama made that statement by email in response to questions by CBN News' Senior National Correspondent David Brody. He told Brody that liberals need to understand that Government can't fix certain problems. Instead they need to recognize the moral component.”  TNM: This is a case of avoiding a direct answer.  This country began as a Judeo-Christian society with due respect for minority beliefs.  It was built upon the ideas of freedom from government interference and the Bill of Rights.  The country should still be guided by Judeo-Christian principles, and not by hatred, wealth distribution, misogyny, socialism, and power-greed.  Our basic freedoms are granted by God {not Obama} and only guaranteed by the government.  And such a guarantee applies to every citizen.  Though sometimes called Obamessiah and given religious-like veneration from the Liberals and Media, we all know that no politician---especially Obama---has anything like the true aura.  From a recent joke:  God and Obama are similar in having no birth certificate; the difference between them is that God doesn't think he's Obama.]

II Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, unless it is my face carved on Mt. Rushmore. [TNM: With all due respect Patriot Depot, I read its source about Obama's visit to Mt Rushmore, I didn't see anything there to show hubris on his part.  When a reporter asked a question about his being on Mt Rushmore:  "I don't think my ears would fit," Obama said, laughing. "There's only so much rock up there."  No, Obama would more prefer his face on the new, inflation-ated five dollar bill and on numerous memorials around the country.]

III Thou shalt not utter my middle name in vain (or in public). Only I can say Barack Hussein Obama. [TNM: This ban seems to have been started by John McCain [he has a PC streak at times]; the source herein given [Time CNN from February 2008] has no quotes or analysis of Obama saying anything about his middle name---though his supporters and perhaps his campaign staff seem to have followed up on it.  Maybe he did direct it to be done, but there's no smoking gun that I can see.  Though for sure, Obama has pointedly kept his Muslim middle name in the background.]

IV Remember tax day, April 15th, to keep it holy. [TNM: This source is a speech by Obama on April 15, 2009.  Although he never comes out and says the day is holy, he spends most of his time reading from the teleprompters about all the great things he's doing for American workers:  he's providing tax cuts for 95% of them---though a far less percentage of them actually pay taxes; he claims he's providing tax cuts for small businesses, when in fact small businesses are closing all over the place because of his taxes and other poison pills for the economy.  If he gets his health care plan established: he'll destroy the American health care system; taxes will go up substantially as health care becomes less and less available---except for illegal aliens; taxes and government mandates [health insurance etc.] will destroy many more small business or reduce the everyday workforce.  Remember, most of the jobs in America are created by small business.  And speaking of holy:  the Obamas have taken a lot of time to pick a church to attend in Washington.  I think the difficulty was that Obama was looking for another pastor Wright and couldn't find him.] 
V Honour thy father and thy mother until they are too old and sick to care for. They will cost our public-funded health-care system too much money. [The source is an article in Red State by Todd Huston on June 25: “Obama said during the ABC Special on Wednesday night that a way to save healthcare costs is to abandon the sort of care that “evidence shows is not necessarily going to improve” the patient's health. He went on to say that he had personal familiarity with such a situation when his grandmother broke her hip after she was diagnosed with terminal cancer.  Obama offered a question on the efficacy of further care for his grandmother saying, 'and the question was, does she get hip replacement surgery, even though she was fragile enough they were not sure how long she would last?'  But who is it that will present the “evidence” that will “show” that further care is futile? Are we to believe that Obama expects individual doctors will make that decision in his bold new government controlled healthcare future? If he is trying to make that claim it is a flat out untruth and he knows it.”  TNM: It should be a great concern to we Americans that Obama thinks so little of our older folks.  I think that's a product of his socialism, messiah complex, and immaturity, and probably imbecility.  So this health care mogul is some one to fear.  We can't afford his destructive health-care system.]
VI Thou shalt not kill, unless you have an unwanted, unborn baby. For it would be an abomination to punish your daughter with a baby. [per the Catholic News Agency in April 2008:  “While addressing a campaign rally in Pennsylvania last weekend, Sen. Obama said, 'When it comes specifically to HIV/AIDS, the most important prevention is education, which should include -- which should include abstinence education and teaching the children -- teaching children, you know, that sex is not something casual," he said.  "But it should also include -- it should also include other, you know, information about contraception because, look, I've got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old,' he added. 'I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby,' Obama said.”  TNM: Firstly, this is an example of Obama speaking without a teleprompter.  Secondly, it's clear that he considers a baby---from the miracle of birth---to be a punishment.  Would that his family thought the same thing about him back in Kenya.  They could have terminated him in the womb or sold him to the local witch doctor.]

VII Thou shalt not commit adultery if you are conservative or a Republican. Liberals and Democrats are hereby forgiven for all of their infidelity and immorality, but the careers of conservatives will be forever destroyed. [TNM: The source is an article by Chad Groening on the Patriot Update, but much of the same information is available in other media outlets.  Gov Stanford of South Carolina is getting skewered for his activities with the unfairer sex.  The only reason he hasn't been more in the news is the death of Michael Jackson.  Inordinate and disgusting coverages of Jackson have been helpful to Stanford.  However in the past, any indiscretion by a Conservative or Republican has led to a long term repetition and expansion from the media.  But those of Democrats and Liberals have been glossed over.  At this modern date, it's common knowledge about extra-marital sex romps of Ted {the Swimmer} Kennedy [now RIP], Chris Dodd, and other Democrats.  One was caught romping in a Washington fountain with his mistress.  Barney Frank's companion ran a male prostitution ring in Frank's basement.  Robert Byrd is a former KKK big shot; then there are the Democrat apologists for Bill Clinton.  Teddy the Swimmer left a woman to drown at Chappaquiddick Bay while he swam home to set up an alibi.  The list goes on.  Conservatives and Republicans get fried in the press; Democrats and Liberals get minor coverage. {I'm sorry Ted Kennedy is dead, but that does nothing to alleviate his culpability for murderous and frightening actions during his term as Senator.}]

VIII Thou shalt not steal, until you've been elected to public office. Only then is it acceptable to take money from hard-working, successful citizens and give it to those who do not work, illegal immigrants, or those who do not have the motivation to better their own lives. [TNM: The source here is an article from American Vision by Gary DeMar.  Although written during the campaign, it discusses the ways Obamanomics planned to steal from the rich and corporations {thus ultimately you and me} to pay for his socialist dreams.  Congress in general and Democrat Congresses in particular, have been doing this for decades.  {The American Dream is near extinction thanks to Liberals and Democrats.} No matter what they claim, they do in effect 'steal' from the average taxpayer to pay for their socialist dreams.  We have little or no input into such grandiose plans.  Witness, for one example the travesty of the War on Poverty:  Trillions spent, and we're pretty much right where we were when it started---if not in worse shape from some points of view.  And of course, who can forget all the PAC money, campaign 'contributions', fund raisers, under-the-table payments, influence peddling, pork projects, and other intrigue from the boys and girls in the House.  And don't forget that many of the 45 million uninsured for health purposes are illegal aliens, and they're the ones to receive free health care from the wallets of you and me.]

IX Thou shalt not discriminate against thy neighbor unless they are conservative, Caucasian, or Christian. [TNM: The source is an article in American Conservative Daily by John Lilipop.  While tongue-in-cheek, it presents numerous examples of the left wing view, and it refers to recent pronouncement from Janet Napolitano and Homeland Security about extremism.  It seems that the various tea parties {Peopled mostly by Christians, Jews, and Protestants of all denominations---you know: average Americans against the socialistic government} against the unconscionable taxes and socialist-ing by the Obama administration are considered radical and extremist.  Black race riots are not.  Abortion is not.  But anything two or more Conservatives do together is probably extremist.  Remember the call from Hillary about the 'vast right wing conspiracy.'  Don't disagree with a Liberal---especially Obama; it would make you an extremist and radical to be beaten down.]

X Thou shalt not covet because it is simply unnecessary. I will place such a heavy tax burden on those that have achieved the American Dream that, by the end of my term as President, nobody will have any wealth or material goods left for you to covet. [TNM: From Lee Cary of the American Thinker back in April of 2008, we see in detail some of the calculations based on Obama speeches and claims.  According to his claims, corporate CEOs earn anywhere from $400-$500 million per year!  That's right.  That's what he claims.  You only have to do the math for his claims.  So naturally, Obama wants to confiscate most of that to pay for his socialist plans and wish to 'redistribute the wealth'---though how remains to be seen. {Time for another Congressional pay raise.}  I used to own a small business.  At its acme, I had two full time and two part time employees.  When the end of the year arrived, and I checked my books, the two full time employees were making more than me.  With health care, unemployment insurance, large rent, and state and local taxes, I couldn't make it a go on a longtime basis.  My clients wouldn't pay higher fees.  If I hadn't sold the business, I'd have been driven into bankruptcy.  And that is what will soon be happening to millions of small business under the Obama blanket.  But the welfare recipients will be fine.]
To which I might add XI:  Thou shalt run for high office and hide thy foreign birth certificate.  [TNM: The question of Obama's birth certificate is an important one, and one which demands an answer.  Unfortunately, Obama won't give us one.  Doesn't it seem strange that for the highest political office in the land we don't insist that candidates meet the minimum requirements as set forth in the Constitution?  The refusal of Obama to meet such a reasonable demand casts a shadow over his Presidency and our oversight of the Presidential race.  Carl Andrews in the American Conservative Daily notes:  “On January 21st, 2009, his very first day in office, Barack Obama implemented and signed into law Executive Order 13489.  For those of you who can't take the time to read it. here is the section that applies:  “Sec.2-Notice of Intent to Disclose Presidential Records:  When the Archivist provides notice to the incumbent and former Presidents of his intent to disclose Presidential records pursuant to section 1270.46 of the NARA regulations, the Archivist, using any guidelines provided by the incumbent and former Presidents, shall identify any specific materials, the disclosure of which he believes may raise a substantial question of executive privilege.” Now for all of you who commented on our previous articles that we were no more that right-wing nut jobs, that this thing about Obama's birth certificate was a non-issue, and those of you who tried to shift the focus of the stories, doesn't this strike you as just a little odd?  That the first order of business Obama took care of on day one of his Presidency was to sign off on an Executive Order that states that only the records he chooses to be made public will be released?”  TNM: It's quite easy in Hawaii to get a certificate of live birth {if you're there to apply for it you must be alive!}---but a real birth certificate?  Even an Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine, and Coast guard wannabe has to provide his birth certificate to be accepted.  So do the children wanting to enter first grade.  But for President Messiah?  Heavens no.]

Some more random thoughts from me and various news sources---especially in case you missed them the first time around.  The socialist takeover of our Country seems destined to continue unabated unless we all wake up and do something.

I think if Obama were President during WWII, he'd have declared victory at the first sinking of a Japanese ship, and turned to other pursuits.  Of course, he'd have lost the war and opened up our country to disaster, but why care?  His march to socialism would have been more important to his administration [in its dying days.]

Per WTOP Radio: "An employee of the D.C. Office of the Chief Technology Officer and a private contractor were charged with corruption Thursday after an FBI raid at the former office of one of President Obama's appointees.”

'Annette Nazareth, a former senior staffer and commissioner with the Securities and Exchange Commission, made "a personal decision" to withdraw from the process, according to a person familiar with her decision. …The decision followed more than a month of intense scrutiny of her taxes and multiple interviews. No tax problems or other issues arose during Nazareth's vetting, said the person, who requested anonymity because Geithner's choice of Nazareth was never announced officially.'

"Charles W Freeman Jr withdrew his Chairman of the National Intelligence Council (NIC) appointment acceptance after a barrage of criticism from Jewish groups and liberal senators."

'The U.S. is no longer waging a 'global war on terror,' according to an official memo. But it's not that the terror threat has ended. In a memo e-mailed to Pentagon staff members, the Defense Department's office of security review stated that 'this administration prefers to avoid using the term 'Long War' or 'Global War on Terror' [GWOT]. Please use 'Overseas Contingency Operation.''

Per Washington Times: "The Obama administration is taking steps quietly to shut down the program that qualifies commercial airline pilots to carry firearms in jetliner cockpits in order to ward off another 9/11-type attack. *The administration recently diverted $2 million from a program to train and certify pilots to carry firearms safely while on duty. Instead, it is using the money to hire additional field inspectors to help discipline pilots who step out of line, according to a report in Tuesday's Washington Times.

Per D Morris: "Since he has taken office, the president has: 1 Announced closure of Guantanamo; 2 Declined to prosecute the mastermind behind the USS Cole bombing; 3 Closed all overseas CIA interrogation centers; 4 Appointed an Attorney General and Justice Department officials on record as opposed to the use of "enhanced" interrogation techniques in terror investigations; 5  Granted Al Arabia television his first news organization interview and called Fatah Party leader and PA President Mahmoud Abbass in his first phone contact with any foreign leader; 6 *Now, with no strings attached, the president has allocated $20.3 million in "post-conflict humanitarian aid" to "Palestinian refugees and conflict victims in Gaza.  The additional funds bring to $60 million U.S. aid commitments in Gaza." [There's a lot more, but there isn't room on the Internet to write it all.]

Per Jonathan Martin and David S. Cloud:  Just hours after North Korea launched a long-range rocket, President Barack Obama called for "a world without nuclear weapons" and said the United States has a “moral responsibility ” to lead the way, as the only nation ever to use them."  [I guess in our cultural, the police should be shedding their weapons and try to talk kindly to criminals.]

Per Fox News: "Two House Judiciary subcommittees convened Thursday to examine allegations of unconstitutional immigration enforcement tactics -- and took target practice at Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona, whose controversial methods have been called racist by activists and Democratic lawmakers. *But Arpaio didn't defend himself on Capitol Hill. He did not testify to the committee and he did not attend the joint hearing. That's because the Maricopa County, Ariz., law enforcement chief wasn't invited, said House Judiciary Committee sources."  [By the way, Sheriff Arpaio is simply enforcing existing laws---but when did that matter to members of Congress.]

Per William Welch: "Studies by two conservative think tanks estimate immigrants in the United States illegally could take 300,000 construction jobs---or 15% of the 2 million jobs that new taxpayer-financed projects are predicted to create." [Most of the others will go to state and federal agencies.]

Per Carol Lee:  "President Barack Obama doesn't go anywhere without his Teleprompter. *The textbook-sized panes of glass holding the president's prepared remarks follow him wherever he speaks. … Obama's reliance on the Teleprompter is unusual – not only because he is famous for his oratory, but because no other president has used one so consistently and at so many events, large and small."  [I might add that in his news conferences, he has replaced the Teleprompters with a big video screen behind the reporters so the system isn't so obvious.]

Per NewsMax: "The Environmental Protection Agency put hundreds of mountaintop coal-mining permits on hold Tuesday, saying it wants to evaluate the projects' impact on streams and wetlands."  [Never mind the effect on jobs or energy.]

Per NewsMax: "The White House [ha]s alloc[ated] tickets for the...Easter Egg Roll to gay and lesbian families as part of the Obama administration's outreach to diverse communities. *Families say the gesture shows that the new Democratic administration values them as equal to other families. And for many, being included in the annual tradition --- dating to 1878 --- renews hope that they will have more support in their quest for equal rights in matters such as marriage and adoption than under the previous administration."  [All Americans already have equal rights.  What the gay activists want are 'special' rights to justify their perverted 'lifestyles.']

Per Janet M. LaRue: "During his 2004 run for the Senate, Obama said 'I think that the Second Amendment means something. I think that if the government were to confiscate everybody's guns unilaterally that I think that would be subject to constitutional challenge.'”

Per Lee Ross: "'At some point, [the Defense of Marriage Act] is going to have to go to the United States Supreme Court,' the congressman, a Democrat, said. 'I wouldn't want it to go to the United States Supreme Court now because that homophobe Antonin Scalia has got too many votes on this current court.'  [So would he be happy now that we have a sexist and racist on the court?]

Per Judson Berger: "Global War on Terror is out -- 'overseas contingency operation' is in. *Terrorist attack is out -- 'man-caused disaster' is in."

Quality of Cabinet Choices:
    
1   Secy of State Clinton tells the World that a Palestine state is inevitable and sides with the Palestinians against Israel
2  Obama picks 6 former Congress members for cabinet; so much for change
3  Obama picks numerous Clintonista's such as Hillary, Leon Panetta for cabinet and CIA. 
4  Commerce - Bill Richardson withdrew because of federal investigation; Judd Gregg withdrew due to irreconcilable differences
          5  HHS - Tom Daschle - didn't pay $100,000 in taxes
          6  Health Czar - Nancy-Ann Parle from Clinton administration
7  Treasury - Tim Geithner - didn't pay about $34,000 in taxes but Democrats gave him a pass
8  Secretary of State - Hillary Clinton - well known baggage and home of nonsense.
9  CIA - Leon Panetta - Clinton administration - no experience to run anything, let alone the CIA
         10 US Trade Rep - Ron Kirk - c$10.000 in back taxes
11 Chief Fed Government Performance - Nancy Killefer - undetermined unemployment taxes re household employee
          12 Labor - Hilda Soli - husband owes c$6,000 back taxes

Per Pam Meister, Family Security Matters: "...One would think Obama couldn't top his cheesy gift of American DVD classics that [British Prime Minister] Brown wasn't interested in watching, let alone being able to play on his Euro-made DVD player, but never underestimate The Power of The One™. Upon meeting Queen Elizabeth II, the Obamas presented Her Majesty with an iPod, loaded with video of the Queen's trip to America in 2007. No, it wasn't loaded with photos of Obama relaxing in the Oval Office with his jacket off. It gets better: In addition to the Queen's visit video, it was loaded with photos of Obama's inauguration PLUS audio of the inauguration and audio from his 2004 Democrat Convention speech when he was a mere senator."

'The Obama administration's decision to raise fuel economy standards in cars to an average 35.5 miles per gallon by 2016 is casting a new light on auto safety. As USA TODAY points out in its story today, smaller cars generally fare worse in crash tests -- especially against larger vehicles.'  [The cash-for-clunkers policy [heavily flawed as it is for car dealers] is simply creating a better market for foreign compact cars.]

Per Burt Prelutsky, Townhall: "...Take the stimulus package, or, in the words of Joe Biden, “the so-called stimulus package.” Obama goes on TV and tells us that it's the only thing that will keep us from winding up in Hoovervilles, selling apples on the street and becoming a nation of hobos. Furthermore, this messenger of hope tells us, with a straight face, no less, that there isn't a single earmark to be found in it. That's like pointing at an enormous hog and saying there isn't a single link sausage or slice of bacon in it. There's no need for earmarks when the whole damn thing is nothing but pork! Obama didn't even have to stay up late to put the package together. That was done by Pelosi and Reid, Washington's answer to Hormel and Oscar Meyer. Obama was simply the snake oil salesman who was sent out on the road to sell it to the rubes."

Per Dennis Prager on Townhall: "...It [Obama Stimulus Package 1] is, as Robert Rector---identified by the Times of London as one of the architects of Clinton's 1996 reform bill--- [said] a welfare spendathon that would amount to the largest one-year increase in government handouts in American history. *It [Obama Stimulus Package 1] is the reason the Obama-supporting Newsweek headlined on its cover page 'We are all socialists now.' *It [Obama Stimulus Package 1] is why, in the words of The Times of London, Republicans are not alone in fearing that Obama's hastily concocted package is the first step towards the creation of a quasi-socialist welfare state."  We can only guess about and fear a Stimulus 2.

The Obama administration---with the aid of Al Gore, most Liberal tree huggers and band wagon users, and Liberal scientists on a mission---is bent on destroying more than just our culture.  The entire Global Warming hysteria is Liberal made.  They find it easy to take natural occurrences and blame everything on man and culture so they can take control and screw thing up.  Warming and cooling is natural and to be expected.  If the Liberals were in charge millions of years ago, the dinosaurs would have been taxed nearly out of existence for their methane production; and then the comet or asteroid would have destroyed the Liberals and made it all moot?  Besides, recent figures indicate a steady global cooling.

We have the energy sources to be self sufficient, but the Obama and the Democrats won't let us use them.  They won't let us build safe nuclear plants and clean coal and oil plants, and they won't let us search for and recover our own oil.  I'll bet when the Muslims take over that'll change.  They'll drill everywhere and anywhere to find oil to sell to the World.

To steal a phrase from a popular song, “And the beat goes on.”  It does go on and on and on.  The Obama administration is giving us change alright.  It's systematically destroying our country, our finances, our prestige, our culture, and our freedoms.  Among other things, Obama wants to take the best medical system in the world and bring it down to European standards.

Obama's government takeover of private businesses is blatant socialism meant to destroy the free marketing system.  He's taxing everything that moves, running our debt up by the trillions, and claims he's 'saving' the Country from the Bush Administration.  Hogwash!  If the Democrats hadn't been leading the charge in Congressional over-spending, handouts, and socialist leanings for the past 50 or 60 years, we might not be in this mess.

And I resent Obama's claim of 47 million uninsured for health purposes.  In that made-up figure are about 12 million illegal aliens; about 18 million who can afford it but don't want it; about 9 million who are between jobs and only temporarily uninsured; about 3 million low income persons who simply haven't been using current government assistance; about 8 million young adults who still have their childhood 'I'm indestructible' attitude towards health insurance; and finally about 8 million children who are covered by their parent's insurance policies but don't have their own. [??]

Those figures add up to more than 47 million because of double counts.  Now, do you really want to enact Obama's Healthcare Deform and ruin the World's best health care system just to cover illegal aliens?
