I guess it’s not a great idea to donate large amounts of money to a political opponent of the President. Frank VanderSloot earned a place on the Obama campaign’s, “enemy list,” after donating $1,000,000 to Mitt Romney’s campaign. What happened after that was the pure, left wing thuggery that we have come to expect from the POTUS and his goons. Gateway Pundit has more… Romney donor Frank VanderSloot was one of the eight Republicans placed on Barack Obama’s enemies list in 2012. The Idaho businessman was singled out by the Obama campaign for giving $1 million in support of Mitt [...]

Reporter That Challenged Obama Claims Being Harassed by the IRS
In another twist in the IRS targeting political opponents story, a reporter, Larry Conners, reports being harassed by the IRS. Weasel Zippers has more… Via Dana Loesch: St. Louis Reporter Larry Conners revealed via Facebook yesterday that he has been “hammered” by the IRS since his much-discussed interview with President Obama. Conners, a veteran reporter, asked tough, but fair question during the interview which was slammed by progressives in media. Conners says: Shortly after I did my April 2012 interview with President Obama, my wife, friends and some viewers suggested that I might need to watch out for the IRS. I [...]
Obama Admits He Is Not Big On Ethics
While scanning the stories a BadBlue this morning, I found this quote at Weasel Zippers. (CNSNews.com) — President Barack Obama told an audience of high school students in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday that he was “not always the very best student” and that ethics “would not have made it on the list” of his favorite subjects. “I was not always the very best student that I could be when I was in high school, and certainly not when I was in middle school,” Obama said, speaking at Benjamin Banneker Academic High School. “I did not love every class I took. I wasn’t always paying [...]
Obama Blames Bush for Inaction on Syria?
Please note that I don’t actually think we should be doing anything in Syria, but the post does show the hoe Obama loves to follow the proud leftist tradition of blaming others. Here is the video, via Gateway Pundit… So, at the very least, he’s using the Syria situation, and demands that he do something, to attack a man that hasn’t been POTUS for five years? Keep it classy, Obama, keep it classy.

David Axelrod States the Obama Thinks That Boston Marathon Bombing Related to “Tax Day”
And the liberal lie smear game just keeps on coming. Former Clinton adviser and current Obama minion, David Axlerod, is suggesting that the President himself thinks that “tax day” is the motivation for the Boston Marathon bombing. As you can see, this was another Alinsky type attack. It was a bit more subtle. It was like saying, we really don’t know, but it was tax day, wink-wink, nudge-nudge, and David Axelrod is an expert at it. Welcome to the post reality world!

Obama Encouraging Banks to Make Easy Loans to People With Poor Credit to Destroy America?
We all agree that the Great Recession of 2008 that is turning into the Obama Depression was caused by poor lending practices by the government run corporations Fannie May and Freddie Mac. There easy loan programs to people with poor credit histories predictability led to problems when these people with a history of not paying back their loans did not in fact pay back their loans and the banks were left holding more and more toxic debt. These losses, caused by government policies and encouraged by government bureaucrats, led to a lot of people losing their jobs and losing their [...]
Obama Eliminates the Possibility of North Korean Nuclear Attack
That’s right, ladies and gentle Obamaphone users! Dear Leader has eliminated any chance of North Korean nuclear attack. By deploying the great and mighty nuclear defence shield, the great Obama has protected us all from harm, contrary to what the racist tea baggers would tell you. Here is a clear, yet simple informational graphic. These simple signs tell the North Koreans that we don’t want mushrooms clouds enveloping our cities and incinerating our undocumented. Just like in Chicago, we banned guns, and there are most definitely no murders there at all! And, as we all know, if we lay down [...]
Call it ObamaTown! Underground Towns for Homeless Found Under Kansas City
If you recall the 80′s, you’ll recall all of the media attention paid to homelessness. And, of course, it was Reagan’s fault. They conveniently left out of their reports that many of those homeless people were mentally ill and thrown out of their psychiatric facilities due to liberal policies. Now, with the number of homeless sky rocketing with Obama in office IN SPITE of the porkulus and other big spending bills, the media is, shall we say, a bit negligent on covering that particular phenomena. However. Gateway Pundit (who, by the way, has YET to link the CH 2.0) has [...]
Fisker Motors Lays Off Most of American Workforce: Government, Mainstream Media Silent
Fisker Motors was one of the more touted “green” projects funded by our government under the guise of “stimulus.” They reportedly received $200,000,000 in taxpayer money. And, by the way, moved production to Finland… Now, we have yet another example of what happens with Porkulus funding. Apparently, an electric car maker got over a half a billion dollars-to build them in Finland. In a stunningly wasteful move, apparently made with no research, the Obama administration approved a loan to Fisker Karma, makers of sporty electric vehicles… that can’t even be produced in the US. Vice President Joseph Biden heralded [...]
Is Obama “Constrained…by a System Our Founders Put in Place?”
Obama made a rather interesting and well crafted statement regarding gun control and the Constitution. Althouse has the comments and some interpretation… Context: “You hear some of these quotes: ‘I need a gun to protect myself from the government.’ ‘We can’t do background checks because the government is going to come take my guns away,’ Obama said. “Well, the government is us. These officials are elected by you. They are elected by you. I am elected by you. I am constrained, as they are constrained, by a system that our Founders put in place. It’s a government of and by [...]
“I Promise!!” Barack Obama’s Great Deception on Obamacare Premiums
Remember way back to the 2008 Presidential campaign? Then Senator Obama made a promise, one he repeated over and over for the next few years. Here’s a reminder of what he said: “If you’ve got insurance through your employer, you can keep your insurance. We estimate we can cut the average family’s premium by about $2,500 per year. If you don’t have health insurance, then we’re going to provide you the option of buying into the same kind of federal pool that both Sen. McCain and I enjoy as federal employees. We’re going to make sure insurance companies can’t discriminate [...]
The Sequester Lies: Where Are the Republicans?
Are you fed up with the lies told by our President, his Cabinet members, and other high level Democrats about the imaginary disastrous effects of the Sequester? There was no cut from anybody’s or any department’s budget in what remains of fiscal 2013 or any other year. The graph below shows the truth about federal government spending with and without the Sequester. (Source) So, without sequester federal spending would have increased over the next ten years $1.80 trillion. With the sequester federal spending for the same period will increase $1.65 trillion. THERE WERE NO CUTS! The President knows this. His [...]
Obama Puts Agenda 21 On Steroids
President Obama mentioned recently that he is preparing to tell all federal agencies for the first time that they should consider the impact on climate change before approving major projects, from pipelines to highways. It should have. I highly doubt he will implement his plan via a bill that congress must approve. He is much more like to do it through an executive order. Stanley Kurtz at National Review Online tells about Obama’s next steps toward stacking you and packing you in high density urban centers (Agenda 21). Last Friday’s headlines focused on President Obama’s address at Argonne National Laboratory, where [...]
Was Cyprus a Test Case for the Government Takeover of our Private Retirement Accounts
There be GOLD in them thar 401k’s, said the statists! There have been rumblings about government wanting our private retirement accounts since the earliest days of the Obama presidency. It’s been floated again and again, but hasn’t gotten traction, or does it even need to have political support at all? As we have seen, Obama and his cohorts are more than willing to subvert the Constitution to do as they please. And no one seems interested in stopping them. Wyblog, who aptly quote my Post on the Great Bank Robbery in Cyprus, draws the inevitable relationship between the Great Bank [...]
Reject the Ideas of Madmen in Authority Who Serve Defunct Economists
The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist. Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back. I am sure that the power of vested interests is vastly exaggerated compared with the gradual encroachment of ideas. -John Maynard Keynes, from The General [...]
Battle Lines Drawn
Mr. Paul’s filibuster was a big deal for reasons other than the obvious. Sure, it’s great that he forced the Attorney General to admit that what they had previously condoned was actually illegal. It’s excellent that he got some face time for a very important issue that otherwise wouldn’t have been talked about. I’m happy that it has garnered support from the left and the right (that’s the first bit of bipartisanship I’ve seen in ages). Still, that’s not what is most important to me. What has me excited is that two GOP senators, who were eating with the President at the [...]
Team Obama Finally Admits That They Created Sequester
It’s increasingly amazing just how much this administration is willing to lie to smear their opponents. That, and its even more amazing that they are getting away with it. Take, for example, the sequester. Obama and the leftists have been blaming the GOP for the sequester, even though it was their idea. At any rate, here is the video evidence… Then, as shown at the Weekly Standard, an Obama official, Gene Sperling, admitted that they created the thing. After all, Obama threatened to veto any agreement that did not include the sequester. In other words, Obama and team created the [...]
Bob Woodward Threatened by Obama Administration: Best not Break Narrative
Bob Woodward is learning that in the current age of media/government relation, you best stay on the reservation, and never go against the narrative. Right Scoop has video… Ace also has a bit more… More: Sexton traces this to the dispute over who came up with the sequester — first the White House was intent on claiming Republicans proposed it, but then, when Woodward pointed out it had come straight from the White House, suddenly the media began claiming, in unison, it just didn’t matter who’d come up with it. Lesson, tow the party line, or we’ll (literally or otherwise) [...]

Worst Case Scenario of Sequester is Far Better Than the Porkulus
Ah the infamous sequester-those automatic spending cuts that kick in if the Republicans don’t compromise give in to every single demand or whim Obama makes. Estimates from the screaming left claim that 750,000 jobs will be lost due to the sequester (which Obama protected, under threat of veto). However, those same leftists don’t seem to be all that concerned with all the people that are losing their jobs due to ObamaCare, but I digress. However, even if the 750,000jobs lost figure is correct, it’s still a drop in the bucket compared to all the job losses after the stimulus Porkulus [...]
Congressional Testimony Reveals Obama Lazy, Dishonest, Incompetent
It is important to not forget that when our nation faced a crisis on September 11, 2012, that the President of the United States did not discharge his duties to his greatest abilities and as a direct result of that several Americans died, including an Ambassador who was murdered on American territory. Of course I am referring to the attack on our country in Benghazi last year, where more details are coming to light after the Presidential election. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s testimony was fairly useless- she used the opportunity to testify in front of our elected officials about [...]
After Over a Century in Business, Oberdorfer Killed by Obama Economy
It seems that the Obama economy and ObamaCare did in Oberdorfer, a Dewitt, NY foundry, that two world wars, the Great Depression, organized labor, and event he Carter presidency. It could not, however, survive a second term of Barak Obama. The Lonely Conservative has the details. The “2008 recession” is the recession that never ends. The unit which started its operation in late 19th century had been a major producer of cylinder heads and other vital military items. Oberdorfer was the specialized manufacturer of complicated aluminium castings for airplane engines. The company which survived many recessions in its long run, [...]
The State of the Union? It Sucks!
Nancy Pelosi recently said “It is almost a false argument to say that we have a spending problem.” She went on to say that what we have is a deficit problem. Conservatives have given Ms. Pelosi a lot of flack over her statement and maybe we have been too hard on the less than brilliant Congressman from San Francisco. After all she did use a qualifier; “almost”, which can mean “not quite”. And, she was spot on when she said the US has a deficit problem. Who could argue with that? By saying that we have a deficit problem instead [...]

Let’s Cut Our Way to Prosperity- Again
Obama said in his weekly address to the nation that “We all agree that it’s critical to cut unnecessary spending,” Obama said. “But we can’t just cut our way to prosperity. It hasn’t worked in the past, and it won’t work today.” President Obama is wrong, and this incorrect logic and ignorance of history is leading him to make wrong policy decisions today. We can cut our way to prosperity and it has worked in the past- in fact, it has worked a lot better than efforts in the past to spend our way to prosperity as Obama is suggesting [...]
Obama Goes Shooting: The PhotoShop Edition
The other day, the White House released a picture of President Obama shooting a shotgun. And, they apparently forbade that the image be photoshopped. Of course, people didn’t listen.

I’m sure that there are probably more, and feel free to post them in the comment section, if needed. At any rate, I don’t get why they would say not to photoshop it. Frankly, the image has exploitable written all over it. Related posts: [...]
Elections have Consequences: Health Insurance Premiums to Hit $20,000?
A reliable axiom would be that government intervention makes thing far more expensive. Cars, gasoline, and pretty much anything that the government controls or regulates become more expensive. And with the re-election of Barak Obama, a lot of democrat voters just priced themselves out of the health insurance market. CNS News has why… Under Obamacare, Americans will be required to buy health insurance or pay a penalty to the IRS. The IRS’s assumption that the cheapest plan for a family will cost $20,000 per year is found in examples the IRS gives to help people understand how to calculate the [...]
More Signs That Obama is Jimmy Carter 2.0
Those of us old enough might remember the following speech from Jimmy Carter… Well, it appears that Obama is becoming the Jimmy Carter 2.0, and Newsmax can explain why. Americans’ optimism about their country is at its lowest since when Jimmy Carter was president in 1979, a new Gallup poll has found. The survey of 1,011 adults conducted Jan. 7-10 found that only 39 percent — or fewer than four in 10 Americans — rated the country positively on a 1-to-10 scale, Gallup reports. While the number is about the same as in 2010, it is at its lowest since [...]
Liberal to English Translation
I know many liberals and have asked them all the same question, “You detested that Bush spent so much money and raised our national debt, yet Obama is quadrupling this debt and has, in fact amassed more deficit spending than all other Presidents combined.

The Lincoln Liar
The ever-worshipful sycophants of the 44th president of the United States rarely miss an opportunity to liken their clay-footed hero to the 16th, an apt comparison only if you judge both chief executives by their habitual disregard for the American Constitution and the rule of law — a custom increasingly popular, especially among the haughty left-wing elitists that masquerade as our intelligentsia. But while Dishonest Abe’s extra-legal actions were taken under the exigencies of war, Barry Obama’s are the direct result of a lifelong allegiance to a fundamentally alien ideology. The old Republican prairie lawyer who preserved the Union must [...]
Happy New Year, Here are Your New Taxes!
Curtis Dubay at Heritage has an article on all of our new taxes, courtesy of the Obama administration. New Year’s Day was tough for taxpayers. Thirteen tax increases kicked in.

Those hikes combined with six tax increases from Obamacare that also began on New Year’s Day. 13 Tax Increases That Started January 1, 2013 Tax increases the fiscal cliff deal allowed: 1.

Americans Wake with Lower Pay Checks: Obama to Blame
Elections have consequences kids, and one of them is apparently a lower pay check. For all of Obama’s promises to never raise taxes on the middle class, something went wrong.

Here’s the explanation from ADP: The reduced 4.2% rate for employee Social Security taxes that was in effect for 2011 and 2012 has expired. The employee Social Security tax rate will return to 6.2% for 2013 wages up to the taxable [...]
Obama Quotes Bible in Sandy Hook Speech: Misses Irony Completely
In last night’s speech to honor the dead in the Sandy Hook shooting, President Obama quoted the Bible as follows… Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Holy Bible Matthew 19:14 There is one little problem with that, Mr. President. These children are in public school, they cannot come to Jesus-they aren’t allowed. Because, Mr. President, the SCOTUS decided that there is something in the Constitution that isn’t actually there, but it matched the regressive agenda. So, God isn’t allowed in schools. And, come to think of it, [...]

Let it Burn: Should the GOP Allow Obama to Raise Taxes?
An idea has been mentioned that perhaps the GOP should simply vote “present” for any “fiscal cliff” vote, and allow Obama to raise all the taxes they want. Then, as the thinking goes, Obama and the Democrats will take the blame for the job losses and such that result. The Trifecta panel, via PJ Media, discusses this… While the panel only lightly discussed the media’s role in any scenario I think it’s important. Because, even if the GOP gives Obama exactly what he wants, it will never be Obama’s fault. Even if the exact tax increases that Obama requests are found to be [...]

More and more people are losing their jobs, and it doesn’t appear to be slowing. The question is, how long before the media covers it, and what spin will they use to cover for the Obama Administration? NOTE: The tweets shown above are as is, I can make no claim to their veracity. It is, after all, the internet. However, I see little benefit to lying about these things. Related posts: Leftist Meme for Layoff Bomb, Anything [...]
Leftist Meme for Layoff Bomb, Anything but Obama’s Policies!
As the layoff bomb continues, it might be a good idea to take a look at the probable reaction from the left. For this one, I think it will rather simple. It’s all going to be variations on the leftist classic… It’s ALWAYS something or someone else’s fault. Remember that no matter what happened in Obama’s first term, it was Bush’s fault? Or maybe even a tsunami? Or perhaps ATM machines? It doesn’t matter how bad the liberals fail, the fault always lies elsewhere. This is not new. The communists made an art form out of it. Remember this from [...]
Anti-Semitism Alert: Obama Supporters Call for Israel’s Destruction

Also, it is tragic to see some of the complete naivete of these followers of the POTUS. And, of course, it will be someone else’s fault when their beautiful messiah fails miserably. NOTE: [...]
Election 2012: Communist Party Thrilled That Obama Won

Election 2012: What Went Wrong?
So President Barack Obama won Election 2012. What went wrong? Some people will go small and point towards factors such as the Chris Christie and Colin Powell’s backstabbing, a chance hurricane, a weak third debate from Romney, Romney’s unforced Jeep mistake, or the power of the ground game. But I think the what went wrong is something much bigger than this. In my post Has America Passed the Point of No Return (ie, 50.1%+ Dependency on Government)? I quotes an article by John Hinderaker over at Powerline blog calledWhy Is This Election Close?: …On paper, given Obama’s record, this election should be a [...]
Obama Wins Second Term: Some Quick Reactions
Well, I was terribly wrong. Barak Obama has won a second term as POTUS. While I think myself, and many of my fellow bloggers were correct about polls and enthusiasm, the Obama Campaign apparently were able to reach voters that were “under the radar,” and get them to the polls. While fraud was also likely a factor, solid evidence won’t likely come until well after the matter was decided. Also, the MSM had a role, as it had the entire first term. Especially when it came to the cover-up of the Benghazi massacre and FEMA’s failure in the aftermath of [...]
The Benghazi Fiasco. Why? Why? WHY?!!!
Nearly eight weeks after the Benghazi fiasco on September 11, 2912 and we have no answers. All we have are questions. WHY? The answer obviously is this administration, this President, this Commander-in-Chief refuses to tell us what happened and why. And, apart from Fox News, the rest of the media has treated the Benghazi attack the killed an US ambassador for the first time in thirty years and three other Americans as a non-event. WHY? We are left to surmise that President Obama wanted to keep a lid on things until after the election when supposedly he could be more flexible. And, of [...]
Enthusiasm Gap? Obama Campaign Ends How it Started, In a Half-Empty Ohio Arena
When we say that Obama has an enthusiasm problem, we mean it. In May, President Obama kicked off his campaign in a half-empty arena.

A photoposted to twitter by Mitt Romney’s campaign spokesman Ryan Williams reveals sparse attendance. The above image, according to Williams, was taken during the President’s first official campaign speech. According to the Toledo Blade, the venue for Obama’s rally seats 20,000 but “there were a lot of empty seats.” Comparatively, Obama drew a crowd of 35,000 at Ohio [...]

Once again, going with the Democrat’s dearth of enthusiasm, Catholics for Obama held a rally, and only 45 showed up. It seems that the Obama camp can’t even attract apostates! The Gateway Pundit has the details… Catholic News Agency reported, via FOX Nation: “Their original intent was to have more of a rally element to it,” said Paul Alexander, director of Regis University’s Institute for the Common Good, which hosted the event. “We just felt we couldn’t do a rally, but we felt a healthy dialogue among Catholics was important.” About 45 people attended the Oct. 25 dialogue and small group discussion with Catholics for [...]
AFL-CIO Threatens Voters? “Your Voting Record is a Matter of Public Record”
In a rather interesting mailer sent to Oregon Residents, the ALF-CIO seems to indicate that they know how people voted in previous elections. Union Label has more… A mailer sent to Oregon voters by the AFL-CIO warns that their voting history is a matter of public record, Breitbart.com reported Wednesday. “Your voting history is a matter of public record,” the mailer declares, implying that the union can determine how people vote. “The reverse cover of the pamphlet features an historic photograph of a union strike, in which the worker in front is carrying a poster that reads: ‘DO NOT CROSS [...]
Voting Machines in Kansas and Ohio Change Romney Votes to Obama Votes
Early voting seems to have a purpose after all-to discover that voting machines are changing Romney votes into Obama votes. As if by magic, of course. the Lonely Conservative has more… Has anyone heard of any instances of voting machines erring on the side of Mitt Romney? I haven’t. Everything I’ve heard is about voting machines changing votes for Romney into votes for Obama. It’s still going on. According to the Marion Star, early voter Joan Stevens tried to cast her ballot for Mitt Romney, but the machine kept defaulting to Barack Obama. “Upon selecting ‘Mitt Romney’ on the electronic touch screen, [...]
Did Our President and Others Commit Treason In Benghazi?
In spite of all the reasons I have to not like this President, Barack Obama, it is with a heavy heart that I approach the question in today’s title. I have had strong differences with most of the presidents in my life time, however, I have never questioned a president’s loyalty to country or to the men and women who serve our country. Yet the bizarre handling by this president and his surrogates of the attacks on our diplomatic mission in Libya and the events leading up to the attacks, compels me to ask if Barack Obama and his senior [...]
Attention Ohio Voters: President Obama Killed 200,000 Jobs in Your State
While the President wants Ohioans to vote for him, Obama killed 200,000 jobs for those same citizens… First, it was 20,000 jobs the Obama Administration delayed by punting a decision to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, which would bring 700,000 barrels of oil per day from Canada into the United States. Multiply that number by 10 and you have the amount of jobs the President is putting on hold by delaying a mineral lease sale in Ohio’s Wayne National Forest for oil and gas drilling. This decision kills jobs and denies Americans access to affordable energy. The Washington Examiner reports that Wayne National Forest already has [...]
Are African Americans Starting to Abandon Obama
Breitbart had this video up the other day, and I thought it might be good to share it here. Apparently, there are some African Americans that have awakened, and are questioning the Democratic hegemony, as well as Obama. Does this mean that the African American vote is going to swing to the side of freedom? Probably not, but the fact that more and more seem to be waking up is an encouraging sign. Hopefully, over time, more and more will embrace freedom, and their own personal power. And once they do, their lives will improve, and as a result, America will improve. [...]

Madonna Booed for Supporting Obama?
Could it be that even celebrities, like Madonna, aren’t above being booed for being moonbats? Well, if you consider this, from The Blaze, the answer is clear… Madonna was booed and had several concertgoers walk out after she told a New Orleans crowd to vote for President Barack Obama, the Associated Press reported. “Who’s registered to vote?” Madonna asked during Saturday night’s performance of her “MDNA” tour. “I don’t care who you vote for as long as you vote for Obama.” Drawing jeers from the crowd, she added: “Seriously, I don’t care who you vote for … Do not take [...]
Lena Dunham “Your First Time” Campaign ad Ripped from Putin?
In the event you haven’t seen the “Your First Time” ad, here it is-in all of it’s creepy and pervy glory. So, dowdy, chunky women with short hair equate their “first time” with voting for Obama? Apparently, they have suffered great disappointment as a result. Perhaps they should have chosen a man that wasn’t full of empty promises? At any rate, it appears that the Obama camp wasn’t exactly creative in the process of making this ad. It seems that team Putin did this first… And, you can make the obvious comparisons regarding the “stars” of these videos. I wonder why Lena [...]
Voting Machines in North Carolina Register Romney Votes for Obama
What happens when you go to vote for Romney, but your vote get’s registered for Obama? Well, it has happened in North Carolina, and Lonely Conservative has the background… In Guilford County, NC some voters have complained that when they chose Mitt Romney for president on electronic voting machines the votes came up for President Obama. One woman tried three times and it kept happening. Election officials say it was just a glitch that’s been corrected, but if you vote on this sort of machine I’d be sure to double check that your vote is counted properly. The presidential election is [...]
Passive Romney Misses Chance to Seize Victory in Third Debate? My Notes and Observations
Approaching this third and final Presidential Debate in 2012, I am led to believe that the challenger Mitt Romney needs to score a victory in this debate and appear to voters as more competent and Presidential and a better Commander-in-Chief than President Obama. The media is in the bag on this one and will score a tie or even an Obama loss as an ‘Obama win’, and President Obama has the advantage of being able to tout over and over that ‘he killed bin Laden’, so Romney faces some formidable challenges. The President has access to information and can use [...]
Benghazi Update: What Did President Obama do from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM on September 11, 2012, An Analysis of the Timeline and Administration Responses
The buck stops at the top on this one. Via memeorandum I saw this CBS News storyCould U.S. military have helped during Libya attack?: …Some lawmakers are asking why U.S. military help from outside Libya didn’t arrive as terrorists battered more than 30 Americans over the course of more than seven hours. The assault was launched by an armed mob of dozens that torched buildings and used rocket propelled grenades, mortars and AK-47 rifles. CBS News has been told that, hours after the attack began, an unmanned Predator drone was sent over the U.S. mission in Benghazi, and that the drone and [...]
‘My son is NOT very optimal… he is very dead’ Mother of Slain Diplomat Reacts to Obama ‘Optimal’ Comment
What does it tell us about a man’s view of the life of an individual when an individual’s death is “less than optimal?” That is Barak Obama’s comment to John Stewart regarding the deaths of the four US Diplomats in Libya. One of the deceased diplomat’s parents, however, had a rather public and poignant reaction. The Daily Mail has more… The mother of an American diplomat killed during a terrorist raid on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi has hit out at Barack Obama for describing the attack as ‘not optimal’, saying: ‘My son is not very optimal – he is also very dead.’ During an interview shown on Comedy Central, Obama [...]
An Exclusive Look at Obama’s Debate Notepad
Those who watched last night’s debate between President Obama and Republican Challenger Mitt Romney may have noticed both candidates frequently writing notes on a slip of paper. You may have wondered, “What are they writing?” After the debate was over I was lucky enough to slip past security (apparently more security was requested but turned down) and take Obama’s debate notepad. Now many may be saying that I have no right to publish it. But like the Pentagon Papers, this notepad is simply too important to not see the light of day. I now present President Obama’s debate notepad [...]
And Then There Was One …Debate That Is. What Will Obama’s Strategy Be?
The Romney campaign team are rightfully feeling good about their chances of winning now that the first two presidential debate and the VP debate are behind them. The polls are very favorable. So, going into next Monday’s debate on foreign affairs, Romney would appear to be in the driver’s seat. All indications are that only a very serious misstep could stop Romney from a victory on November 6, only three weeks away. Being a foreign affairs debate, and considering the fiasco of the events leading up to the terrorist attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya (inadequate security) and the [...]
Is the President Suggesting That Planned Parenthood is Breaking the Law?
Apparently, President Barak Obama has suggested the Planned Parenthood, when not following it’s mission to exterminate the black race, is breaking the law by providing mammograms-a service for which they are not licensed. CNS News has more… (CNSNews.com) – During Tuesday’s second presidential debate, President Barack Obama said that women “rely” on Planned Parenthood for mammograms, but, according to the Food and Drug Administration, no Planned Parenthood facility in the United States is licensed to do mammograms. During Tuesday night’s debate against his Republican challenger Mitt Romney, Obama said, “When Gov. Romney says that we should eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood, there [...]
Romney Recommends the Small Business Owners Warn Employees of Obama Second Term: Liberals Upset
What happens when Mitt Romney recommends that business owners talk to their employees about the consequences of a second Obama term? Upset liberals! Here is the “leaked” video… And, here is commentary from Working in These Times… In the June call, Romney went on to reassure his audience that it is perfectly legal for them to talk to their employees about how to vote: Nothing illegal about you talking to your employees about what you believe is best for the business, because I think that will figure into their election decision, their voting decision and of course doing that with your family and [...]
Obama Voters Publicly Apologize!
When Obama voters apologize they really ought to consider their safety. But, before I get to that, here is he story… A full-page Mitt Romney campaign ad in today’s Cedar Rapids Gazette takes the form of an open letter from 13 Iowans who say they voted for President Barack Obama in 2008 but regret their choice and won’t do so again in 2012. The letter is phrased as an apology, and lays out a case for why Romney, the Republican nominee is a better choice this time around. “Mitt Romney will deliver the real recovery that President Obama has failed to bring, [...]
