Losers of the Week

 
Barack Obama for saying that the Cambridge police "acted stupidly" in the recent incident with some professor from Harvard.  Obama took a decidely racist stance, which was criticized immediately, which led to him saying, "I think I unfortunately gave an impression that I was maligning the Cambridge Police Department . . . I could've calibrated those words differently". 
 
It's absolutely beyond me how the Cambridge Police Department could have gotten the impression that they were being maligned.  Calibrated. Schmalibrated.  The word "stupidly" should never have crossed his lips. 
 
Being President of the United States is more than saying "I won" and flying all around the world apologizing for the country that made you Leader of the Free World.  And on our dime, no less. 
 
Far from being the partisan uniter he claimed to be, Obama is fanning the flames of partisanship and racism. 
 
Madeleine Albright for claiming that Americans no longer have to be ashamed of their country.  When they travel abroad, they no longer "have to say they're from Canada" . .  We are on a better glide path to restoring our reputation and our leadership than we were for the previous eight years". 
 
Really.  Obama hasn't been able to get a single one of our allies to help us with anything.  Even after bowing to the muslim dictator of Saudi Arabia and dissing Israel - our only real ally in the mid-East - he hasn't raised his standing in the muslim world at all.  North Korea threatened to launch missiles our way on Independence Day.  Canada is furious not only with our "Buy American" statement, but with the fact that they will have nowhere to go when Obama socializes our health care. 
 
The truth of the matter is, these nations had better hope that Obama's agenda - socialized medicine, govenment take over of business, ever more and higher taxes, cap and tax - fails.  It's our capitalism that's paying for their socialism.  If we fall, they fall. 
 
John Danforth who said, "I think the popularity of Barack Obama and the increased popularity of the United States are a function of a less assertive and more passive approach, particularly in dealing with terror". 
 
Great, just great.  Doing less to protect ourselves and, therefore, the world makes us more popular. 
 
Talk about acting stupidly.

The Little Boy Who Cried Wolf

 
We all know the story.  The little boy who kept crying wolf just to get attention.  By the time the real wolf came, nobody was listening to him anymore. 

Such could be the fate of Barack Obama, who has cried wolf yet again. 

The first time was way back when he wanted the stimulus to go through.  He had no idea what was in it.  He had had no part in preparing it.  While he partied at the White House, in between apology tours to various countries, he told congress to do something.  And boy did they ever, loading up what should have been a stimulus bill with mountains of pork that will most likely only stimulate the perpetual campaign coffers of these DC deadweights. 

He told us at the time:  "A failure to act, and act now, will turn crisis into a catastrophe and guarantee a longer recession, a less robust recovery, and a more uncertain future".   Wolf.

Contrary to what he said, his stimulus has done nothing as promised and now the operative story is that it was never designed to work right away.  We're all supposed to wait two years for it to really kick in.

Obama is crying wolf again, now, with regard to health care.  At one time or another, he has been heard to say that reforming health care is essential to getting the economy back on track.  Wolf.

Nothing like adding to his already mounting pile of deficits.  After all, it's his vice-president who said that we've got to keep spending money or we'll go broke. 

Last night, he had his fourth primetime press conference in six months (Bush had four in eight years).  Comfortable in his well-insulated arrogance, he probably thinks the matter is resolved, despite the fact that not a single bill can get out of committee in the House, and Senate #2 "Inappropriate Language" Durbin said ain't nothing gonna happen until the fall.   

Too busy looking at the man in the mirror, he's already off to his next cry:  "We've got to pass regulatory reform".  Wolf.

Crystal Clear

 
First Case:  In an "election" in Iran, the ruling thugs retained their hold on power.  When the people took to the streets to say that they wanted real democracy, they were slaughtered.  Obama said and did nothing because Iran was a sovereign nation, and America shouldn't interfere.
 
Second Case:  When Honduran president Zelaya tried to take a page out of the Hugo Chavez playbook and extend his presidency indefinitely, he was thrown out.  Despite the fact that Honduras is also a sovereign nation, Obama didn't hesitate to demand that the man who tried to become the law rather than obey the law be returned to power.
 
Third Case:  Despite the fact that Israel is also a sovereign nation - a nuclear sovereign nation - the Obama State Department told the Israeli ambassador to warn Prime Minister Netanyahu not to permit the building of a 20-apartment complex on privately-owned land in Jerusalem. 
 
It is becoming crystal clear exactly what kind of man Obama is.  Dictators and muslims, and muslim dictators, are preferred.  Jews and the will of the people are not.

Socialism Explained

 
An economics professor once had a class which insisted that Obama's socialism would work.  These students believed that a society where everyone was "equal" would be perfect.  Knowing that these students had no idea how the real world worked, he announced an experiment. 

All grades would be averaged, and every student would get the same grade.  No one would get an A.   No one would fail.  Everyone would be equal.

After the first test, everyone got a B.  The students who had studied hard and gotten A's were unhappy.  The students who hadn't studied hard and gotten C's were happy.  What a great system! 

After the second test, everyone got a D.  Those who had studied hard the first time didn't study as hard this time.  Those who had studied little the first time, studied even less this time.  After the second test, no one was happy. 

After the third test, when everyone got an F, the name-calling and bickering began.  Those who didn't study thought that those who did would just keep on studying hard, regardless of their ultimate grade.  Therefore, they could just coast.  Those who studied hard no longer saw the point in it because they were going to get the same grade as those who didn't study at all. 

That's socialism.  Those sitting around with their hands out don't understand that people who work hard only to see it taken away and given to those sitting around with their hands out will eventually stop working so hard. 

Socialism isn't about everyone working together for the common good.  It's about one class of people taking from another, better class of people. 

Because too many people are too stupid to understand that you can't keep taking away from the doers to give to the takers without creating a smaller class of doers and a larger class of takers is the reason Obama is in the White House.

Losers of the Week

 
1.  Joseph Biden (D-Dufusville) for saying, "We're going to go bankrupt as a nation . .  You're telling me we have to spend money to keep from going bankrupt?  The answer us 'yes'." 
 
Isn't there a saying about when you're in a hole, you should stop digging?
 
2.  Steny Hoyer (D-Stupidville) for saying that since most small businesses don't even make $280,000 a year, they won't be bothered by new taxes to fund health care. 
 
Exactly the point, Mr. Hoyer.  Not only are small businenesses taking a beating because of what congressional democrats did to wreck the economy, they have no incentive to make any more because the said same thieves will just take it away from them in higher taxes. 
 
3.  Barbara Boxer (D-Blithely Ignorantville) for attempting to put the leader of the National Black Chamber of Commerce in his place by insinuating that he should adopt the same position as the NAACP with regard to that monumental hoax known as anthropogenic global warming. 
 
We all know that liberals have nothing but disdain for blacks and other minorities in the first place, and that they save their undisguised contempt for those blacks and other minorities who don't toe the liberal line. 
 
4.  Dianne Feinstein (D-Traitorville) for revealing that our Predator drone bases are in Pakistan.  Way to go, Di!  Nothing like inciting the people who already want to kill us.  Nothing like blabbing our national security secrets to the world.  Nothing like putting in danger the lives of those who are fighting to protect your absolute right to be a complete and utter idiot. 
 
Isn't there a word for people who do this?

Why California's Such A Mess

 
A dimocrat assemblyman - what a shock - has introduced legislation to make marijuana legal in California and estimates that it will bring in $1.4 billion a year in income.  Happy days are here again!
 
Let's say that an ounce of marijuana costs $20 on the street.  (I know nothing about these things, but $20 is a nice round number.)  If, however, I decide to buy legal marijuana, that same ounce is going to cost me $20, plus another $1.50 in sales tax, plus another $50 just because, for a total of $71.50. 
 
So I ask you:  Am I going to pay $20 for my marijuana or $71.50? 
 
It really is quite sad that the caliber of our elected leaders has descended to such a level of complete and utter stupidity and incompetence.

Blood in the Water

 
Rasmussen has been reporting that Obama's Approval Index numbers are in negative territory.  This figure is arrived at by taking those who "strongly approve" and those who "strongly disapprove" and subtracting the lower number from the higher.  The "strongly disapprove" stands at 36%, the "strongly approve" stands at 28%, leaving Obama with a -8.  A review of Rasmussen's numbers show a steady decline since last month. 

Public opinion has turned against Obama's economic policies and has now turned against his health care plans.  There is also strong sentiment against a second stimulus, considering the first hasn't worked as he promised.  People are not buying the current explanation that the stimulus was "always" a 2-year plan, even though the promise was for immediate job creation.  I also don't think that people are buying the current excuse offered by the administration that it "misread" the economy.  After all, it was Obama himself who said that if congress didn't approve his stimulus immediately, America would tumble into the economic abyss. 

The administration said that our country was on the verge of catastrophe and that only the stimulus could save it.  Things are worse now.  If we were on the verge of catastrophe then, where are we now? 

A headline at Politico.com states:  Obama's Rosy Scenario Turns Thorny.  Economists of all stripes are saying that his economic forecasts are too optimistic.  The word "fantasy" was heard.  His Council of Economic Advisers - spouting the official party line of "OMG, who knew it was this bad" - are now saying that the White House will be "updating" the official forecasts. 

At a time when he already has a negative approval rating, due in no small part to his explosion of the deficit, and his plans to tax and tax and tax the American people, all the while driving up their energy costs, this update could have epic repercussions, not only for Obama but for all those on the Left who seem content to do his bidding. 

And, just look at this:

 
or this:
  
 
Is it any wonder, then, that another headline at Politico.com was: Clinton Plans To Reassert Herself.  Apparently, Madame Secretary plans to start articulating her own policy agenda.  According to Politico.com, she "appears increasingly comfortable expressing her views . . . that she's been a hawkish internal voice, pushing Obama toward more confrontational stances toward adversaries from Iran to Cuba.  And she has shown a new willingness in recent days to throw the occasional mild elbow in public - even one directed at the White House".  (Emphasis mine)  It is believed that she will use an upcoming speech to the Council on Foreign Relations to remind everyone of her own resume.
 
If I can smell the blood in the water, it's a sure bet that the great white shark can, too.

Who's Really "Rooting" Against America?

 
Henry Waxman (D-CA) was a Loser of the Week last week because of his statement that those who voted against his cap-and-trade legislation were "rooting against the country".  Really. 
 
According to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), Waxman's cap-and-tax legislation will give manufacturers in certain industries - chemicals, primary metals, paper, non-metallic minerals - in China an advantage over their U.S. competitors and put U.S. jobs at risk. 
 
Without some kind of agreement placing caps on China's emissions, which China has stated it is not going to do, nearly 1/4 - or $1.2 trillion - of total U.S. manufacturing output would suffer. 
 
What this means is that jobs would go overseas where it's okay to pollute, increasing unemployment here.  Worse yet, nothing is really being accomplished because lower emissions here are only being offset by higher emissions in those countries not stupid enough to ruin their own economies.
 
So, it's really Mr. Waxman and his desire for legislative immortality who is not only rooting against America, but actively participating in its destruction. 
 
All in the name of a hoax.

People Say the Darndest Things

 
Arlen Specter is facing a serious challenger in Rep. Joe Sestak (D) for his senate seat in 2010.  Specter, one of those career politicians who thinks he has a right to his job for as long as he wants it, is unhappy about this.  His campaign is seeking to question Sestak's democrat bona fides by pointing out that Sestak registered as an Independent in 1971 and didn't officially register as a democrat until 2006.
 
This from the man who has been a democrat for about 5 minutes, prior to which he was a Republican, prior to which he was a democrat. 
 
Meanwhile, over at the Supreme Court, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (the one who always wears a bib) gave some insight into the mind of a liberal when she said:  "I thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of.  So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion."
 
So that's what was on the mind of the 5 justices who gave us Roe v. Wade, i.e., controlling the population of the undesirables, those lesser beings that "we don't want to have too many of".  By all means, let's make sure that they have access to abortion.
 
For those who believe that this statement was taken out of context, what would be the proper context?

Losers of the Week

 
Andrew Malcolm, for saying in his blog at the Los Angeles Times:  "A majority of young people still approve of Obama's job performance, but a majority of seniors over 64 now don't (54%).  Maybe they'll die before the next election." 
 
Henry Waxman (D-CA) for saying, "It appears that the Republican Party leadership in the Congress has made a decision that they want to deny President Obama success, which means, in my mind, they are rooting against the country, as well."  He was referencing the vote on his bill to fix the climate.  
 
Let 's recap.  It's patriotic to root against your country while it is at war, but it's not patriotic to be against something that's the biggest fraud in the history of mankind?  Now you understand the Left. 
 
Steny Hoyer (D-MD) who actually laughed when asked if he was going to read the health care bill before voting for it.  "If every member pledged to not vote for it if they hadn't read it in its entirety, I think we would have very few votes".  
 
What a quaint notion, reading something before inflicting it on the people he was elected to represent. 
 
Mr. Hoyer, and others like him who lost contact with reality a long time ago, actually think that they will be unaffected by this.  You see, they plan on exempting themselves from it.  While we'll be herded into government-run plans, they will still have the choice of their private plans. 
 
What they don't seem to understand, which is why I say they have lost contact with reality, is that people have to pay premiums to keep those private plans going.  People aren't going to continue to be able to pay for those private plans, and they will go bankrupt.  Then, congress will have no choice but to mix with us little people. 
 
Of course, Mr. Hoyer plans on being long gone before that happens.  His children and grandchildren are of no concern to him. 
 
Assistant Attorney General David Kris who testified at a senate hearing and said that administering Miranda warnings to terrorists captured on the battlefield is "appropriate".  When John McCain asked, "Does than infer that these individals have constitutional rights?", Mr. Kris answered, "Ah, yes." 
 
You see the Obama Justice Department wants to prosecute these people in US federal courts and, therefore, they must be given rights that they really don't have.  

Jeh C. Johnson
, general counsel for the Department of Defense, explained it thus:  "When you're dealing with terrorists whose, and I'm going to say this on behalf of the adminstration, one of their fundamental aims is to kill innocent civilians, and so it is the administration's view that direct violence on innocent civilians, let's say in the continental United States, it might be appropriate that that person be brought to justice in a civilian public forum in the continental United States". 
 
Let me tell you what, and I mean what, not who, this adminstration has just given constitutional rights to:  It has been reported and confirmed that the head of the Pakistani taliban has been buying children for use as suicide bombers, paying in the range of $7,000 to $14,000 a head. 
 
Not surprising when you consider that the head of this administration thinks of babies as punishment.

It's CYA Time in DC

 
Faced with growing unrest and the plummeting ratings of the imposter in the White House, those who voted for his stimulus package are spreading out to tout how wonderful it is. 
 
Sherrod Brown (D-OH) says that the stimulus is not a failure, it just needs to be spent faster, preferably lots of it in his state of 10% unemployment and an Obama approval rating below 50%.  How much longer before "I think it's beginning to work" just won't cut it any more.
 
Roland Burris (D-IL) said "The stimulus is not failing.  As a matter of fact, we're doing very good.  We're doing very well, and it's going to kick in more into the next fiscal year".  And this man isn't running for re-election next year. 
 
Susan Collins (R-ME) said "The stimulus was never intended to be a cure-all.  I do believe that its impact is being slowly felt and that it has kept unemployment from being higher than it otherwise would be."   Unemployment is 1.5% higher than Obama said it would be without the stimulus. 
 
By the way, $16 million of these precious stimulus dollars is being spent to protect the salt marsh harvest mouse.  I wasn't aware that salt marsh harvest mice were even looking for jobs.
 
John Boehner (R-OH) said it well when he said:  "No wonder the American people think we're nuts".

Thought for the Day

 
Why is Bernie Madoff going to prison? 
 
He did on a small scale what congress does on a large scale.  Since congress is the highest body of lawmakers in the country, what they do must be legal. 
 
Therefore, why is Bernie Madoff going to prison?

The Emerging Dictator, Part I

 
Obama is moving very fast to accomplish what he wants to accomplish:  his dictatorship of America. 
 
1.  Is it any coincidence that in January, a couple of weeks before the man who said he was planning on being around for the next "8 to 10 years" was inaugurated, that a democrat congressman from New York introduced legislation to repeal the 22nd Amendment? 
 
The dems in congress are every bit as hungry for power as Obama and wouldn't mind in the least if those pesky little things known as elections could be done away with. 
 
Given the current majorities the dems have in both houses (a so-called supermajority in the senate now that Al Franken (D-SNL) was declared the winner in Minnesota), don't think for one second that such a measure couldn't pass if they saw in it an opportunity for their own lifetime place in the new scheme of things. 
 
2.  With the help of ACORN and such secretaries of state as helped Franken win, with funding from George Soros, of course, such a measue could be passed by the requisite number of states in short order.  From there, it won't be long until our elections are like those in Iraq when Saddam was alive.  I always found it nothing short of amazing that Saddam was always re-elected with 100% of the vote. 
 
3.  While all that is taking place, Obama has been working overtime to destroy the economy, aided and abetted at all times by his minions in congress.  Nationalization of banks, nationalization of the auto industry, the coming nationalization of health care, cap and trade, etc., etc., etc.   
 
4.  When will the round up of our guns begin?  Now that the White House has seized control of the census, I'm fully expecting a question about how many guns I have.  Those who answer truthfully can expect a visit from ACORN or the Civilian National Security Force, perhaps in the dead of night. 
 
5.  Speaking of Obama's Civilian National Security Force, he had better get it up and running soon.  All of his despotic plans depend on it.  That's where Zelaya (former president of Honduras) slipped up.  He had nothing in place to counteract the military.  Perhaps Obama's plan is that continued economic deterioration will start to cause riots, which will create the need for a strong law-and-order presence on our streets, what with the National Guard being tied down in Afghanistan and Iraq.  Who could argue against a little more peace and quiet in our neighborhoods? 
 
Right now, We the People are being run over roughshod by the very people we elected to look out for us, people who are now only in it for themselves.  Our will - and our guns - are all that stand between us and the failure of the experiment known as the United States of America.  We have plenty of the latter.  Do we have enough of the former?
