Obama stands alone: G20 allies abandon Barackononics

Looks like Barack Obama has only two remaining allies in his theory that you can spend your way out of debt – John Maynard Keynes, who’s been dead for 64 years, and Greece, which will soon assume economic room temperature.

Looks like Barack Obama has only two remaining allies in his theory that you can spend your way out of debt – John Maynard Keynes, who’s been dead for 64 years, and Greece, which will soon assume economic room temperature.

The Financial Times reports the G20’s return to reality:

The communiqué of the meeting made it clear that the G20 no longer thought that expansionary fiscal policy was sustainable or effective in fostering an economic recovery because investors were no longer confident about some countries’ public finances. “The recent events highlight the importance of sustainable public finances and the need for our countries to put in place credible, growth-friendly measures, to deliver fiscal sustainability,” the communiqué stated.

“Those countries with serious fiscal challenges need to accelerate the pace of consolidation,” it added. “We welcome the recent announcements by some countries to reduce their deficits in 2010 and strengthen their fiscal frameworks and institutions”.

These words were in marked contrast to the G20’s previous communiqué from late April, which called for fiscal support to “be maintained until the recovery is firmly driven by the private sector and becomes more entrenched”.

Translation: It’s 2 o’clock in the morning and Barack Obama is the only drunken sailor left in the bar.

Iceland votes clowns into office. Real clowns, not amateur ones like we elect.

The surprise winners in Reykajavik, Iceland’s recent council elections not only admit they’re clowns, they boast of it. We may be down right now, but this is the United States, damn it. If Iceland can afford professional clowns, so can we.

The surprise winners in Reykajavik, Iceland’s recent council elections not only admit they’re clowns, they boast of it.

The EUObserver.com tweaks the winners’ big red noses:

Promising a polar bear for the Reykjavik zoo, free towels at all swimming pools, a Disneyland theme park at the airport and a drug-free parliament by 2020, the newly formed Besti Flokkurinn (“The Best Party”) took the political establishment by surprise when it became the biggest party in Sunday’s municipal elections in the Icelandic capital, Reykjavik, securing six out of 15 seats in the new city council.

The Best Party in Reykjavik was established just half a year ago by a core group of comedians, actors and musicians….

The new party’s slogan is “Whatever Works”. And that’s the official campaign video atop this story.

Here in the United States, we also have a party composed of clowns. And we fully expect the day to come when Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the rest of the Democrat caucus commute to work together and all 256 members of the house and all 57 senators pile out of one clown car.

We may be down right now, but this is the United States, damn it. If Iceland can afford professional clowns, so can we.

Louisiana Senator Vitter calls Obama “Joe Cool.” But it’s not a compliment

His supporters called him The Greatest President In History before he had even been inaugurated. Now the junior senator from Louisiana has revealed his slightly less complimentary nickname for Barack Obama: Joe Cool.

His supporters called him The Greatest President In History before he had even been inaugurated. Now the junior senator from Louisiana has revealed his slightly less complimentary nickname for Barack Obama: Joe Cool.

“My personal nickname for the president is Joe Cool,” David Vitter said. “But I don’t want Joe Cool, who’s always laid back and calm and collected in this crisis. I want a leader, I want somebody who’s passionate and absolutely grabs the reigns and takes the reins. The President is beginning to do that more, I’ve seen that ramp up a little bit with the last few visits to Louisiana, but we’re not still anywhere where we need to be in that regard.”

Don’t you worry, Senator Vitter. Our sources at the White House indicate that now that the Paul McCartney concert is out of the way, the President will show some real passion for your little oil spill, as soon as the NBA championships are over.

Lakers in six.

Bill Clinton finally defines sex: It’s when you pay for it

We used to think Bill Clinton was shameless. Now we’re beginning to think he’s just clueless. The former President just signed his name to a Democrat fundraising letter in which he calls Republican Louisiana Senator David Vitter an “admitted sinner.”

Hypocrites 3:16 says, "Thou shalt not lie with women who chargeth when thou can getteth an intern for free."

We used to think Bill Clinton was shameless. Now we’re beginning to think he’s just clueless.

The former President just signed his name to a Democrat fundraising letter in which he calls Republican Louisiana Senator David Vitter an “admitted sinner.”

The NY Post reports the hypocritical hilarity:

Former President Clinton has sent out a fundraising letter on behalf of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee under his own name warning that Republicans are trying to “derail’ President Obama’s agenda.

Not much unexpected there.

But along with the letter, Clinton has included a flyer from the DSCC that’s bound to raise eyebrows.

“DSCC funds go towards efforts to unseat far-right Republican senators like admitted sinner David Vitter…” the flyer says, referring to the Louisiana senator who admitted patronizing a prostitution service when he was in the House.

Vitter has been a Clinton foe for a long time, calling on President Clinton to step down in 1998 because of his affair with Monica Lewinsky.

So what makes Vitter a sinner in the eyes of serial womanizer Bill Clinton?

Is it the fact that Vitter paid for sex, but Clinton got it for free? Or that Vitter “admitted” it, but Clinton didn’t?

This will rub a lot of people the wrong way: Millions of stimulus dollars going to massage schools

Maybe it’s a good idea to give all our tax dollars to massage schools. Because at the rate we’re going, we’re all going to need a nice, relaxing massage.

Maybe it’s a good idea to give all our tax dollars to massage schools. Because at the rate we’re going, we’re all going to need a nice, relaxing massage.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has the deep tissue details:

Massage and beauty schools, online universities and other for-profit colleges in Georgia and across the nation are cashing in on federal stimulus spending, collecting $2.2 billion in tuition grants for low-income students, public records show.

That represents nearly a quarter of the stimulus money spent on these grants to date.

In Georgia alone, millions of dollars are going to massage schools and beauty schools. Lord only knows how much is being spread around the rest of the country.

Because of how the government is tracking the stimulus spending, it’s impossible to break it down precisely by state. But the records show profit-making schools that have campuses or corporate headquarters in Georgia have received more than $550 million of these stimulus funds.

Among them are University of Phoenix, American InterContinental University, Royal Beauty Careers and Atlanta School of Massage. Beauty and massage schools with ties to Georgia have received $3.3 million through the stimulus program alone.

There may be stimulus involved, but this will not be a happy ending massage.

Throws like a girl. Wears mom pants. Looks like a geek on a bike. Shows subservience to every foreign leader. Puts up curtains while working on a Habitat for Humanity house. Can’t bowl. Strikes effeminate poses. Drinks his beer like he’s at a tea party. Eats hotdogs with a little too much gusto (if you know what we mean). Gives man hugs a little too freely.

“I was down there a month ago,” the Hard Ass in Chief said, “before most of these talkin’ heads were even paying attention to the Gulf. A month ago I was meetin’ with fishermen down there, standin’ in the rain talkin’ about what a potential crisis this could be, and I don’t sit around just talkin’ to experts because this is a college seminar. We talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers, so I know whose ass to kick.”

Another anti-Obama billboard. This one’s in Arizona

Anti-Obama billboards are spreading even faster than the White House can spread bullshit. And they’re all being paid for by individuals who dig deep into their own pockets to express their opinions.

arizona anti obama billboard

Anti-Obama billboards are spreading even faster than the White House can spread bullshit. And they’re all being paid for by individuals who dig deep into their own pockets to express their opinions.

CNS News has the details on the latest one:

Thanks to an advertiser who wishes to remain anonymous, cars and trucks on Arizona Highway 260 in East Central Arizona are driving by a billboard advertisement that recently went up, bearing President Obama’s face on what appears to be a mock U.S. $100,000,000,000,000 (One-Hundred Trillion Dollar) bill.

The billboard’s caption: “But Who Will Pay the Piper?”

Chuck Perrine of Jones Outdoor advertising in Tucson, Ariz., confirmed to CNSNews.com that his company created the 10 ft- by-40 ft. billboard, which he said “went up within the last month.”

You can see the billboard for yourself by driving to Linden, Arizona, a wide spot in the road about 170 miles northeast of Phoenix.

We suspect that this billboard might be the only reason you’d want to visit Linden.

Obama goes gangsta, threatens to break out a can o’ whup ass

Now hold on us a gol’ danged minute. We thought this President was cool, calm and collected. We thought he was a Harvard-educated intellectual, the smartest man who’s ever occupied the Oval Office. We thought he was going to resolve conflict by extending his hand in peace and listening to his adversaries.

Now hold on just a gol’ danged minute. We thought this President was cool, calm and collected. We thought he was a Harvard-educated intellectual, the smartest man who’s ever occupied the Oval Office. We thought he was going to resolve conflict by extending his hand in peace and listening to his adversaries.

Nah, that was last week before the polls started to slip. Now that he’s catching flak for his dazed and confused response to the Gusher in the Gulf, he’s turned tough guy. Kind of like that episode of Star Trek where Kirk turned gangster to deal with a planet run by gangsters.

“I was down there a month ago,” the Hard Ass in Chief said, “before most of these talkin’ heads were even paying attention to the gulf. A month ago I was meetin’ with fishermen down there, standin’ in the rain talking about what a potential crisis this could be. and I don’t sit around just talkin’ to experts because this is a college seminar. We talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers, so I know whose ass to kick.”

An ass kickin’?

There’s nothing sadder than a Democrat tryin’ to sound like one of those average Americans. Remember John Kerry, that other noted intellectual, sayin’, “Can I get me a huntin’ license here?”

Don’t look now, Mr. President, but the polls are slippin’ again. And phony tough guy talk won’t solve your problem as easily as it solved Captain Kirk’s.

Here’s something you don’t see every day of the week: Obama singing, “Hey, Jude.”

Here’s something you don’t see every day of the week. Obama singing, “Hey, Jude.”

“Daddy, did you plug the hole yet?”

“Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Nah, nah, nah, nah.”

Wish we could have been there back in the day. You know, back when Obama was out in the streets, keepin’ it real, impressin’ all the other brothers with his ability to sing Beatles’ songs.

Mickey Kaus lists three bribes Obama can offer to make him drop out against Barbara Boxer

Mickey Kaus, seeming a bit insulted that Obama hasn’t yet offered him a Joe Sestak-like bribe, he listed the three jobs with which the President could induce him to drop out of the race.

mickey-kaus-three-bribes
Mickey Kaus is a lot funnier than Barbara Boxer. But then, so is herpes.

Damn, we love Mickey Kaus, the guy who’s running against Barbara Boxer in California’s Democrat primary on Tuesday.

First, he proudly announced that he was most qualified for Boxer’s job because he hadn’t been endorsed by the L.A. Times. Then he ran one of the cleverest political commercials we’ve ever seen.

Now, seeming a bit insulted that Obama hasn’t yet offered him a Joe Sestak-like bribe, he listed the three jobs with which the President could induce him to drop out of the race.

The Los Angeles Times reveals what they are:

  • Head of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement to push for an actual physical fence on the Mexico border to stop illegal immigrants and to end the “anointed incumbent…Boxer’s obsessive talk of amnesty, sorry, ‘a path to citizenship'” that actually acts as a powerful lure for even more illegal immigrants.
  • Second, Kaus kindly offers, Obama could put him on the National Labor Relations Board so he could thwart “Big Labor’s attempt to add to their dwindling memberships by avoiding secret ballots in union organizing drives.”
  • Finally, Kaus offered to accept an administration job offer to the Department of Education to write “a scathing report” on California teachers’ unions and their deleterious impact on the state.

Unfortunately, the odds of California Democrats voting for a guy who makes this much sense are slim and who are you kidding?

Ed Schultz reports the truth, almost chokes on it

Poor Ed Schultz. He’s dumbfounded, astounded, horrified that the liberal media hasn’t been able to stir up more opposition to the Arizona illegal immigration law. Guest John Feehery is forced to slap Schultz’ face and try to bring him back to reality.

Every poll shows that an overwhelming majority of the American people approve of Arizona’s new illegal alien law. And a new Qunnipiac University poll found 48% of registered voters nationwide want similar laws passed in their states.

Poor Ed Schultz. He’s dumbfounded, astounded, horrified that the liberal media hasn’t been able to stir up more opposition to the law. Guest John Feehery is forced to slap Schultz’ face and try to bring him back to reality.

Schultz: The numbers are out right now. It’s pretty amazing, as much discussion and negativity that has been out there, the majority of Americans think the immigration law that’s passed in Arizona is good…and also a majority of Americans want to see their states pass something similar.

Feehery: Hey Ed, this is a surprise to nobody except maybe you, and maybe the administration.

The political class (and its MSNBC apologists) are out of step with the American people. Of course, Schultz would say it’s not just out of step, but out of goose step.

‘Cause, you know, we’re all Nazis. Or something.

Obama could learn a few things from Republican women. Including how to throw a baseball.

Jane Norton, Colorado’s Republican Lieutenant Governor and candidate for the U.S. Senate, could teach President Obama a few things about how to throw a baseball.

Jane Norton, Colorado’s Republican Lieutenant Governor and candidate for the U.S. Senate, tossed out the ceremonial first pitch of the National Junior College World Series – an 81 mile an hour heater right down the middle of the plate. In contrast, President Obama’s opening day pitches have always looked like something daughter Sasha might throw.

But in Obama’s defense, they probably didn’t play baseball in Kenya or Indonesia or wherever he grew up.

Don’t just play the race card, give one.

Far be it from us to make generalizations, but based on the latest actions of the NAACP, one can only conclude that black skin is also very thin skin. The organization has forced Hallmark to pull of those talking graduation cards. They claimed it was racist.

Far be it from us to make generalizations, but based on the latest actions of the NAACP, one can only conclude that black skin is also very thin skin.

The organization has forced Hallmark to pull of those talking graduation cards. They claimed it was raaaaacist.

Hallmark was baffled by the complaint. They said the card’s theme was the solar system and was meant to emphasize the graduates’s ability to take on the universe, even something as powerful as black holes.

“The intent here is to say that this graduate is not afraid of anything,” explained Hallmark spokesman Steve Doyal.

“And you black holes, you are so ominous,” the speaking card said. “Watch your back.”

“That was very demeaning to African American women,” intoned Leon Jenkins, a spokesman for the Los Angeles NAACP. “When it made reference to African American women as whores and at the end, it says ‘watch your back,’”.

“You hear the ‘r’ in there. ‘Whores,’ not, ‘holes.’ The ‘r’ is in there,” said Minnie Hatley, another Los Angeles NAACP rep.

“It sounds like a group of children laughing and joking about blackness, again,” said yet another paranoid NAACP member.

Naturally, Hallmark gave in and is pulling the card from all its stores.

Is it just us or is this vaguely reminiscent of the incident a few years ago when a school official got in trouble for using the world niggardly and the incident more recently when black groups complained that the day after <s>Christmas</s> Thanksgiving was referred to as Black Friday.

Do you support Arizona’s tough new law on illegal immigration?

In July, Arizona will begin enforcing a new law that requires law enforcement officers to check someone’s immigration status if they have reason to suspect that he or she is in the country illegally. Do you think this is a good idea?

At the time this story was written almost 600,000 votes have already been cast and the tally was “Yes” 95.6%, “No” 4.4%

Why do all Democrat women look like Chaz Bono? No offense intended, Chaz.

The San Gabriel Valley Tribune reports Sanchez’ ill-advised comment:

“There’s a concerted effort behind promoting these kinds of laws on a state-by-state basis by people who have ties to white supremacy groups,” said the lawmaker, who is of Mexican descent. “It’s been documented. It’s not mainstream politics.”

Based on that comment, would it be wrong of us if we demanded to see Linda Sanchez’ documents? The ones that tie the Arizona law to white supremacist groups, that is.

And while we’re in a demanding kind of mood, there’s one other thing we’d like to demand. Take a look in your own back yard, Linda, and speak to the family of Jamiel Shaw.

The innocent teen was killed in Los Angeles in 2008 by an illegal alien gang member who had been recently released from jail. Jamiel’s family supports the Arizona law.

And we think they might have some serious trouble joining a white supremacist group.
