Obama: “NYC girlfriend” in his autobiography was composite. In Dreams From My Father, he describes her appearance, her voice, and her mannerisms in specific detail. But Obama has now told biographer David Maraniss that the “girlfriend” was actually a composite character, based on multiple girlfriends he had in NYC and Chicago. Reminds us of a movie we once saw….

Unexpected: April private-sector jobs up 119K, well below forecasts
Unexpected: April private-sector jobs up 119K, well below forecasts. Median prediction was for 175K. March was revised downward from 209K to 201K. Another Recovery Bummer. Obama needs a way to take a few more Bin Laden victory laps – maybe he’ll send a scuba team to fish OBL out of the ocean, prop him up and shoot him again. Might make a good flick – “Weekend at Barry’s!”
Homeland Security official tweets ‘Happy May Day!’
Homeland Security official tweets ‘Happy May Day!’ On Tuesday evening, Nate Snyder, the special adviser to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano for “Community Partnership and Strategic Engagement,” tweeted “Happy May Day! #solidarity.” Kinda sums up this whole administration in one tweet.
Obama’s New Nomenklatura
Obama’s New Nomenklatura. “Socialism is a rich man’s game. …what Obama promises – especially in his second term – is a socialism of permanent elites, a kind of new, very American, version of the old Soviet-style nomenklatura.” With Obama around, it’s like the USSR never collapsed, comrades.
FBI arrests anarchists in plot to blow up Cleveland bridge – at least two are Occupy organizers
FBI arrests anarchists in plot to blow up Cleveland bridge – at least two are Occupy organizers. The mostly peaceful Democrat answer to the Tea Party movement to protest greed strikes again. Guess that bridge was filled with one-percenters, eh? Someone tell Elizabeth Warren her intellectual foundation is showing again.
Elizabeth Warren’s campaign: She’s 1/32nd Cherokee
Elizabeth Warren’s campaign: She’s 1/32nd Cherokee. Warren has been under fire for allegedly claiming to be part native-American when she applied for her job at Harvard Law. Her campaign finally found what they claim is a Cherokee connection, her great-great-great-grandmother. Embrace the diversity! Affirmative action at Harvard has now jumped the shark.
Former CIA counterterror chief: Pelosi was briefed in 2002 about waterboarding and didn’t object
Former CIA counterterror chief: Pelosi was briefed in 2002 about waterboarding and didn’t object. To paraphrase Kerry, she knew about it before she didn’t know about it.
Obama has held more re-election fundraisers than previous five Presidents combined
Obama has held more re-election fundraisers than previous five Presidents combined. What’s even more pathetic is a UK media outlet is the only one that noticed. Our gallant US journolists are busy trying to answer the eternal question, “Is it better to take your head out of your butt or to curse the darkness?” We think we know their answer.
May Day: Occupy plans “global disruption”
May Day: Occupy plans “global disruption.” Expect more public pooping, rapes, robberies and murders as Occupy “helps” the common man by making it impossible for him to do business or get to work. Watch as a sycophantic, credulous media gushes over the proceedings like a bunch of star-struck teenagers fawning over a rock star. And, if public sympathy for some reason turns favorable for these idiots, expect Democrook politicians to come out of the woodwork claiming they were with them all along. Occu-puke.
Obama borrows campaign slogan from MSNBC
Obama borrows campaign slogan from MSNBC. No, needs something else… How about “Bend Forward”?
Political foot-dragging in Corzine probe?
Political foot-dragging in Corzine probe? “…the probers no doubt want to do the right thing, but the heads of the investigative agencies can hardly be described as impartial. Many are presidential appointees or at least have a vested interest in helping Obama avoid a major embarrassment.” Yeah, if only Corzine would switch parties, then these guys would be on him like Obama’s teeth marks on a pit bull.
Wind farms can cause climate change, finds new study
Wind farms can cause climate change, finds new study. The law of unintended consequences strikes again! It’s logical; windmills convert wind energy to electricity and some additional energy is lost due to mechanical friction, blade intertia, etc. Thus, windmills reduce the amount of energy available as wind – wind is one driver of weather so if you drain off enough wind energy, you change the weather. Defcon 5 Irony alert!
Obama got Osama, but lost the Middle East
Obama got Osama, but lost the Middle East. “There is almost nowhere in the Middle East that the United State is better off than it was four years ago… Yet Obama and his campaign team trot out Osama bin Laden to cure all those political ills, and as political cover for a failed presidency.” So, the candidate with a resume the size of a postage stamp has a list of accomplishments just as small as president. Who coulda predicted that…..
NPR Asks: ‘Is Slow Growth Actually Good for the Economy?’
NPR asks: “Is slow growth actually good for the economy?” Yeah, slow growth, high gas prices, 15% real unemployment and a ballooning national debt are signs of health in the economy, but only when an incompetent empty-suit Democrat president NPR wishes to re-elect is in office.
Vacation backlash: Blue collar Dems jealous, angry at Obamas
Vacation backlash: Blue collar Dems jealous, angry at Obamas. “Blue collar Dem voters, taking depressing ‘staycations’ because they can’t afford gas and hotels, are resentful of the first family’s 17 lavish vacations around the world and don’t want their tax dollars paying for the Obamas’ holidays…” Obama doesn’t have to care about the price of gas because we’re paying for his. Let’s tax presidential freebies! As someone once said, “It’s not about revenue, it’s about fairness.”
House Republicans prep Contempt of Congress charge against Eric Holder
House Republicans prep Contempt of Congress charge against Eric Holder. Holder lied, hundreds died. Another official, Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich, will be resigning his position in July. Drain the swamp!
Biden says something incredibly stupid
Biden says something incredibly stupid. Well, there’s something you don’t see every day… he often takes weekends off. Speak bigly and carry a soft stick.

Barack Obama, The Road We Really Traveled
Barack Obama, The Road We Really Traveled. Andrew Klavan and Bill Whittle skewer and parody Barack Obama’s “Road We Traveled” campaign video. No dogs were injured (or consumed) in the making of this film.

CIA memo reveals Admiral McRaven, not Obama, controlled Bin Laden mission
CIA memo reveals Admiral McRaven, not Obama, controlled Bin Laden mission. “The memo puts all control in the hands of Admiral McRaven… the notion that Obama and his team were walking through every stage of the operation is incorrect. The hero here was McRaven, not Obama. And had the mission gone wrong, McRaven surely would have been thrown under the bus.” Well, only if they couldn’t pin it on George Bush.
Michelle Obama: “Fantasy” Is To Walk Out WH “And Just Keep Walking”
Michelle Obama: “Fantasy” Is To Walk Out WH “And Just Keep Walking.” She’s unhappy because “It is hard to sneak around and do what you want” with all those Secret Service types keeping tabs on her, ya know. Well, we feel your pain, Ms. Obama, we really do… and we’re gonna do our best to help you realize your dream (and ours) come January 2013.
Atheists vs. Islamists in Melbourne, Australia
Atheists vs. Islamists in Melbourne, Australia. “It could be that this scene is more than just a humorous bagatelle, but is instead a preview of the coming global conflict — not between Muslims and Christians, as everyone has long assumed, but between Muslims and secularists.” Well, the ideal would be a laissez faire world which lets everyone believe (or not) as they wished, but some people are peculiarly uninterested in adopting that approach.
Sen. Tom Carper (D-DE): Save the US Postal Service with wind farms
Sen. Tom Carper (D-DE): Save the US Postal Service with wind farms. Yeah, this guy wants “to harvest the electricity that windmill farms produce in order to power a new fleet of battery-operated postal delivery vehicles, replacing the previous ’25 to 30 years old’ ‘dilapidated’ vehicles.” Ummm, just how is spending a bunch of money to buy battery-powered trucks gonna save the USPS when the problem is there are fewer and fewer customers for their services? Politicians not only do not have the answers, they don’t even understand the damn questions.
Supreme Court casts doubt on Obama’s immigration law claim
Supreme Court casts doubt on Obama’s immigration law claim. “Supreme Court justices took a dim view of the Obama administration’s claim that it can stop Arizona from enforcing immigration laws, telling government lawyers during oral argument Wednesday that the state appears to want to push federal officials, not conflict with them.” Damn, first it was the do-nothing congress, now it’s the stop-everything court that’s thwarting Obama’s hopenchange thingy. Why can’t we have a get-stuff-done gubbermint like North Korea, right Mr. Friedman?
Dogeater: The Music Video
Dogeater: The Music Video. Keith Oh-they-fired-me-again now denounces the dog-eared subject he originally brought up as “absurd” (very much like the loudmouth himself) which is more than enough reason to post this. Party on! Nobama 2012!
GE CEO defends tax rate after protesters disrupt speech
GE CEO defends tax rate after protesters disrupt speech. So, did these sock puppets not get the memo to the effect that Immelt is a crony of the crony-capitalist in chief? Or maybe Obama’s class-warfare kabuki is blowing up in both of his faces….
