Obama can see countries like Europe from his house

We love those days when Barack Obama sounds more like Joe Biden than Abraham Lincoln and yet the crowds cheer and the media continues to tell us he is The Greatest Orator In History.

We love those days when Barack Obama sounds more like Joe Biden than Abraham Lincoln and yet the crowds cheer and the media continues to tell us he is The Greatest Orator In History.

Like the other day in Illinois when the Gaffe Machine In Chief said:

“So the challenge we have now is how do we set up a system where, yes, we’re welcoming new people to our country, which by the way makes us stronger. One of the things that is a huge advantage for America compared to countries like Europe is, actually, we’re constantly replenishing ourselves with hungry, driven people who are coming here, and they want to work, and they start a business, and our population is younger and more dynamic, and that’s a good thing!”

Sarah Palin says, “You can see Russia from Alaska” and it becomes a national joke. Barack Obama redefines Europe as a country and mapmakers begin redrawing the world.

Welcome to America in the early 21st century.

Patrick Kennedy fulfills his Kennedy legacy, gets plastered in public

Uncle Ted Kennedy had a vision for America. Sadly, that vision was usually blurred by a few too many Chivas & sodas. Now nephew Patrick Kennedy is doing everything he can to honor his uncle’s legacy.

Patrick Kennedy
Six vodka shots? We hope someone called this guy a cab.

Teddy Kennedy had a vision for America. Sadly, that vision was usually blurred by a few too many Chivas & sodas. Now Patrick Kennedy is doing everything he can to honor his dad’s legacy.

RollCall.com reviews the revelry:

Rep. Patrick Kennedy was spotted doing vodka shots last week at a Capitol Hill bar just hours after he spoke about his history of substance abuse at a charity event.

An HOH tipster and a pal were sitting at the bar at the Capitol Lounge around 11 p.m. on Tuesday when the Rhode Island Democrat walked in and took a seat between the pair.

The tipster’s friend asked the Congressman what he was drinking, and when Kennedy replied vodka, the group ordered vodka shots, the tipster tells us.

After slamming down the first round, another was ordered, then a third. Our tipster and his friend stopped doing shots, but Kennedy drank three more until the bartender cut him off, at least from obtaining any more shots, our tipster says.

Our tipster adds Kennedy was in a lively mood, joking with others at the bar and even boasting about President Barack Obama, calling him “the best president ever.”

When our tipster countered: “Wait a second. What about your uncle?” — referring, of course, to President John F. Kennedy — the younger Kennedy jovially responded, “Oh yeah! Good one,” and slapped our tipster’s back, he says.

It’s always nice to see a young man so dedicated to following his family’s cherished traditions.

Al Gore increases his carbon footprint, buys house in ritzy Santa Barbara neighborhood

Sometimes a mansion in Tennessee just isn’t enough. When you’re busy jetting around the world saving humanity from the terrors of global warming, you really need a west coast getaway. So global warming hypocrite Al Gore has now purchased a little place in California.

Al Gore
Albert H. Gore. The "H", of course, stands for Hypocrite

Sometimes a mansion in Tennessee just isn’t enough. When you’re busy jetting around the world saving humanity from the terrors of global warming, you really need a west coast getaway. So global warming hypocrite Al Gore has now purchased a little place in California.

Oh, wait. Did we say “little place”? Not exactly. It’s a huge friggin’ estate overlooking the Pacific ocean in toney Montecito, California.

The Los Angeles Times reports the hypocritical news:

Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, have added a Montecito-area property to their real estate holdings, reports the Montecito Journal.

The couple spent $8,875,000 on an ocean-view villa on 1.5 acres with a swimming pool, spa and fountains, a real estate source familiar with the deal confirms. The Italian-style house has six fireplaces, five bedrooms and nine bathrooms.

For those of you who don’t live in California, let us explain local real estate terminology.

“Peekaboo ocean view” means you can see the ocean if you stand on a chair and look out the kitchen window.

“Ocean view” means you can see a patch of blue without standing on the chair.

“Oceanfront” means there are actual waves lapping at your back door.

Some people wonder why a man as wealthy as Gore didn’t spring for an oceanfront house.

Well, the fact is that Al Gore is just plain smarter than we common folk. He knows that as the oceans rise, his new house will eventually become oceanfront.

Economic growth drops off a cliff, Obama says, “We’re heading in the right direction”

Last quarter, economic growth came in at 5.7%. This week the latest quarter’s number came in and growth was just 3.2%. The President’s response?

Last quarter, economic growth came in at 5.7%. This week the latest quarter’s number came in and growth was just 3.2%.

The President’s response?

“The economy that was losing jobs a year ago is creating jobs today. After the single biggest economic crisis in our lifetimes, we’re heading in the right direction. We’re moving forward. Our economy is stronger — that economic heartbeat is growing stronger. But I measure progress by a different pulse.”

The economy slows down and the President says we’re making progress. Iran continues making nuclear weapons and insulting the United States and Obama says we’re making progress. The deficit continues to skyrocket and Obama says we’re making progress.

This, apparently, is what being a progressive is all about.

$35,000 per ticket to hear India Arie sing and Barack Obama talk (Arie better be one hell of a singer)

C’mon, man, no one in their right mind would pay $35,000 to hear Barack Obama speak when you can hear him speak and speak and speak for free every single friggin’ day. In fact, we know people who might pay that much to shut him up, so the performance aspect of the night obviously rested squarely on Arie’s shoulders.

We haven’t heard how the concert turned out at last week’s Los Angeles fundraiser for Barbara Boxer and the DNC, but the pressure was clearly on India Arie to deliver one hell of a performance.

We have nothing against Ms. Arie nor her music. In fact, we like her combination of soul, hip hop, jazz and gospel. But how much does the girl have to ramp it up to justify the $35,000 price tag that Dems put on her appearance with the Greatest President In History?

Of course, the real beneficiaries of this fun-filled evening were Barbara Boxer and the Democratic Party in California.

You might think that getting the Beatles back together (as hard as that might prove to be) would not be enough to save Boxer. But remember that this is California where NPR says “…unlike in other parts of the country, both Obama and Boxer could benefit from passage of the health care law. A Los Angeles Times/University of Southern California poll this month said California voters have a generally positive view of the health care bill. Forty-six percent said they would be more likely to vote for a lawmaker who supported the bill compared with 29 percent who said they would not be.”

We’ve heard of the earthquake that is supposed to separate California from the rest of the country. But it didn’t take anything nearly that drastic to separate the state from reality.

Press pissed at Obama, Gore pissed at press. Has the world gone crazy?

Sycophantic reporters are growing tired of getting the runaround from “the most transparent administration in history.” And, Al Gore is angry and says the press gives too much attention to “ridiculous claims” of global warming deniers.

barack obama
"Now...uhhh...hold on, fellas...uhhh...I'm the most...uhhh...lovable President ever."

Story Number One: Sycophantic reporters are growing tired of getting the runaround from “the most transparent administration in history.”

Politico.com has the details:

Reporters say the White House is thin-skinned, controlling, eager to go over their heads and stingy with even basic information. All White Houses try to control the message. But this White House has pledged to be more open than its predecessors – and reporters feel it doesn’t live up to that pledge in several key areas:

• Day-to-day interaction with Obama is almost non-existent, and he talks to the press corps far less often than Bill Clinton or even George W. Bush did. Clinton took questions nearly every weekday, on average. Obama barely does it once a week.

• The ferocity of pushback is intense. A routine press query can draw a string of vitriolic emails. A negative story can draw a profane high-decibel phone call – or worse. Some reporters feel like they’ve been frozen out after crossing the White House.

• Except for a few reporters, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs can be distant and difficult to reach – even though his job is to be one of the main conduits from president to press. “It’s an odd White House where it’s easier to get the White House chief of staff on the phone than the White House press secretary,” one top reporter said.

• And at the very moment many reporters feel shut out, one paper – the New York Times – enjoys a favoritism from Obama and his staff that makes competitors fume, with gift-wrapped scoops and loads of presidential face-time.

When the Goracle speaks, reporters must listen. Or else.

Story Number Two: You’d better be sitting down for this one. Al Gore is angry and says the press gives too much attention to “ridiculous claims” of global warming deniers.

Of course, you can rest assured that AlGore.com will give you a fair and balanced report:

Last week The Wall Street Journal published a ridiculous op-ed titled “Climate Science in Denial” claiming that “global warming alarmists have been discredited, but you wouldn’t know it from the rhetoric this Earth Day.” 



Marc Ambinder of The Atlantic does an exceptional job dismantling this ridiculous claim: 

“Actually, the subhead should be revised: “Global warming denialists have been re-discredited, but you wouldn’t know it from the rhetoric in today’s Wall Street Journal.” Far be it from me, a non-scientist, to dispute the scientific expertise of an MIT professor of meteorology, Richard Lindzen, but then again, Lindzen’s selective recitation of the litany of arguments against global warming practically begs a rebuttal.” 


“First, he mentions “Climate Gate” — those e-mails from the Climate Research Unit from the University of East Anglia. He suggests that the e-mails show “unambiguous evidence of the unethical suppression of information and opposing viewpoints, and even data manipulation.”” 


“The e-mails were actually quite ambiguous and contained evidence of churlishness and defensiveness from scientists whose data had long been under attack from climate denialists.” 



Much of the media has done a particularly bad job covering the climate crisis. Instead of informing the public about the facts, they have treated the issue as if the same political divisions they exuberantly cover also exist in the scientific community. They don’t.

Our advice? Ignore both stories. Disagreements between the media and Democrats mean about as much as spats between middle school spats between BFFs.

How did all those man-made artifacts end up in places that have “always” been covered in ice?

The world was once (and, undoubtedly, more than once) far warmer than it is today. Far from being a first, the ice has now merely retreated back to where it once was thousands of years ago. And the only thing unprecedented about global warming is the claim that it’s unprecedented.

Oetzi the Ice man
Oetzi, the Alpine Ice Man, says, "Al Gore is a liar."

When LiveScience.com asks the fascinating question, “Who Froze the Tools?” they were not referring to Al Gore and Michael Mann. Tools though they may be, the ones LiveScience was referring to were Neolithic hunting tools left behind by man in places man was never supposed to have existed.

“Warming temperatures are melting patches of ice that have been in place for thousands of years in the mountains of the Canadian High Arctic and in turn revealing a treasure trove of ancient hunting tools.”

LiveScience.com provides the specifics:

In 1997, sheep hunters discovered a 4,300-year-old dart shaft in caribou dung that had become exposed as the ice receded. . . . [Archaeologist Tom] Andrews and his team (including members of the indigenous Shutaot’ine or Mountain Dene) have found 2,400-year-old spear throwing tools, a 1000-year-old ground squirrel snare, and bows and arrows dating back 850 years.

This is similar to the Neolithic silver mine – complete with tools – that was found not long ago in the Alps as the ice retreated. And what about the infamous Ice Man who was discovered in 1991 after being frozen for thousands of years.

Whether it’s Canada Arctic or the Alps or anywhere else in the world, the fraud of global warming is exposed every time the retreating ice exposes more of these artifacts. For if global warming is, indeed, unprecedented, how could these artifacts possibly be found in areas that have supposedly always been covered with ice?

The only logical answer is that the world was once (and, undoubtedly, more than once) far warmer than it is today. Far from being a first, the ice has now merely retreated back to where it once was thousands of years ago.

And the only thing unprecedented about global warming is the claim that it’s unprecedented.

Andrea Mitchell admits that Harry Reid is a dead man walking

Ottumwa, Iowa: Obama stacks another town hall meeting with supporters

The Ottumwa, Iowa town hall was stacked with Obama supporters, including the guy who’s wearing a T-shirt that says “Community organizer,”

Last week President Obama gave a speech to NASA employees. Except that no NASA employees were actually admitted to the speech. Instead, the hall was packed with carefully selected Obama supporters.

As if to prove that wasn’t just a fluke, Obama traveled to Ottumwa, Iowa Monday to brag about his outstanding economic record.

This town hall was also stacked with Obama supporters, including the guy just over Obama’s right shoulder who’s wearing a T-shirt that says “Community organizer” and an expression that says, “I love you, Barry.”

Navy F-18 passes biofuel test, fails logic test

The Navy just conducted a test that proved two seemingly contradictory concepts. First, it proved that an F-18 can fly using biofuel. And second, it proved that biofuel is an idea that’ll never get off the ground.

Navy F18
The same people who pay $67.50 for biofuel say they can cut medical costs.

The Navy just conducted a test that proved two seemingly contradictory concepts. First, it proved that an F-18 can fly using biofuel. And second, it proved that biofuel is an idea that’ll never get off the ground.

National Review’s Planet Gore makes sense of it all:

I was there when the Green Hornet flew today, and the 50-50 biofuel mix burned superbly. Thanks to the excellent work of our fuel-certification engineers, there was no doubt that it would. They checked it thoroughly for spec and pronounced it functionally equivalent to JP-5. But even though SECNAV maintains that the Navy “will continue to be an early adopter of alternative energy sources,” he might take a closer look at the price tag. 

The press release says that the Defense Energy Support Center, which buys fuel for the military, paid $2.7 million for 40,000 gallons of the biofuel. That works out to $67.50 a gallon, although the official Navy fact sheet says the cost was only $33 a gallon. Still, next to the $1.40 a gallon cost of petroleum-derived JP-5, it’s not exactly a bargain — worse even than buying gas in Europe. 

Maybe we can cut back on body armor to pay for it . . .

$67.50 per gallon? Fill ‘er up, dude. Sounds like cap-and-trade has already been implemented in the military.

Democrat Senators Tom Harkin and Robert Byrd probably consider this the pinnacle of their long, distinguished careers. Or maybe not.

CNSnews.com reports on the Democrats’ egregious egos:

Harkin and Byrd jointly won the “Narcissist Award” for 2010 – a little-coveted award given to those members of Congress who request taxpayer money to fund projects named after themselves.

Harkin asked for $7,287,000 to continue what he calls the “Harkin Grant” program for renovating Iowa public schools.

Byrd similarly asked that $7 million in taxpayer funds be directed to the Robert C. Byrd Institute of Advanced Flexible Manufacturing Systems, which provides workforce training in technical manufacturing skills.

We have a suggestion for Citizens Against Government Waste. If anyone wins the award two years in a row, it should be renamed in their honor.

Or dishonor, as the case may be.

In the near future sportscasters may run down a players stats like this:

“Ed Shlumpy at bat. He’s hitting .311 this year, bats right, throws right and leans right with a pro-life advocacy rating of 93.0%”

It may sounds strange to you, but not to Huffington Post readers who are used to left wing nonsense like the article entitled “No one is Illegal: Boycott the Arizona Diamondbacks”

The article says, “This will be the last column I write about the Arizona Diamondbacks in the foreseeable future. For me, they do not exist. They will continue to not exist in my mind as long as the horribly named ‘Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act’ remains law in Arizona. This law has brought echoes of apartheid to the state.”

It goes on to state that “This is not merely because they happen to be the team from Arizona. The D-backs organization is a primary funder of the state Republican Party, which has been driving the measure through the legislature.”

The article ends by saying “If the owners of the Diamondbacks want to underwrite an ugly edge of bigotry, we should raise our collective sporting fists against them. A boycott is also an expression of solidarity with Diamondback players such as Juan Guitterez, Gerardo Parra, and Rodrigo Lopez. They shouldn’t be put in a position where they’re cheered on the playing field and then asked for their papers when the uniform comes off.”

The same could supposedly be said of Phoenix police officers, 25% of whom are of Hispanic descent. Except that no one cheers them, on duty or off, especially when they – unlike the federal government – actually attempt to enforce the law.

“Oh! You mean that Blagojevich. Now I remember.”

“Oh, you mean that Blagojevich. Rod Blagojevich. Now I remember.” That’s how we recommend President Obama answer the judge’s questions about his conversations with embattled former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich should the proposed subpoenas of Obama & Friends actually be issued.

According to the NY Post, “Sections of court papers filed by scandal-scarred former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich that were mistakenly made public show a deeper involvement by President Obama in picking his Senate successor and call into question the president’s public statements on the case.

According to passages in the papers filed Thursday by Blagojevich’s lawyers – which were blacked out under a judge’s order but made visible by a computer glitch – Obama, then president-elect, spoke directly to the disgraced governor on Dec. 1, 2008.

But just one week later, on indictment day for Blagojevich, Obama told reporters, “I had no contact with the governor or his office, and so we were not, I was not aware of what was happening.”

Well, sure, Mr. President, you were probably confused what with just being elected and all. That’s probably why you forgot about talking to Blago, but what about the fact that “Also contained in the unredacted papers is a claim that, contrary to his denials, Obama did push longtime friend and adviser Valerie Jarrett for his old Senate seat using a union official as a go-between with Blagojevich.”

Face it, Mr. President, we all would like to forget about Valerie Jarrett.

The mainstream media is all over this story. Just kidding.

Most of the response from the media other than Fox News and NY Post conveniently have omitted any mention of any potential misdeeds by Team Obama and focus rather on the fact that Blagojevich’s attorney’s would dare subpoena the Most Honest President In History.

Media Matters, not to be confused with any legitimate media outlet, under a heading amusingly titled “Research”, has an article headlined “Fox Nation falsely claims ‘new dirt’ from Blagojevich trial ‘implicates Team Obama.’” The article says “Fox Nation used the baseless headline ‘Blago Moves to Subpoena resident: New Dirt Implicates Team Obama’” in linking to a Mediaite story about the trial of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D-IL). However, as ABC’s Jake Tapper noted, Blagojevich “alleges no criminal wrongdoing by the president or his team” and is of “disputable credibility.”

Well, given their ironclad record of getting things right, it’s hard to argue with ABC News or Media Matters.

Just kidding again.

How Obama intends to cut healthcare premiums by 3000%: More regulations

It was just a few weeks ago that the President proudly announced that ObamaCare could cut medical premiums by a mathematically-impossible 3000%. Well, mathematically-impossible or not, they’re going to give it a try by giving state regulators new, broader powers to reject premium increases they don’t like.

Well, mathematically-impossible or not, they’re going to give it a try by giving state regulators new, broader powers to reject premium increases they don’t like.

The Wall Street Journal reports:

When President Obama signed his health-care reform last month, he declared it will “lower costs for families and for businesses and for the federal government.”

So why, barely a month later, are Democrats scrambling to pass a new bill that would impose price controls on insurance?

In now-they-tell-us hearings on Tuesday, the Senate health committee debated a bill that would give states the power to reject premium increases that state regulators determine are “unreasonable.” The White House proposed this just before the final Obama-Care scramble, but it couldn’t be included because it violated the procedural rules that Democrats abused to pass the bill.

Looks like Nancy Pelosi was right – they had to pass the bill to find out what was in it.

And the more we find out, the less we like it.

Just what America needs: The anatomically-correct naked Obama action figure

Several months ago, we covered the vast array of Obama products available on eBay. Well, all that crappola pales in comparison to the new naked Obama action figure.

And as any of America's enemies can tell you, the naked Obama action figure is anatomically correct

Several months ago, we covered the vast array of Obama merchandise available on eBay. Well, all that crappola pales in comparison to the new naked Obama action figure.

Random-Good-Stuff.com breathlessly reveals the details:

“…this awesome Action figure of President Obama from Hot Toys (known for their Movie Masterpiece series)! At 1/6th the scale, the figure has over 38 points of articulation that allows you to pose Obama as you wish. Suitable for fabric costumes at the 1/6th scale and comes with 2 pairs of hands, 2 heads and fantastic details on his facial expression. Measures 30 cm (11.8 inches) in height.”

By “fantastic details on his facial expression”, we assume they’re saying it perfectly captures the egomaniacal upward tilt of the President’s chin and the condescending sneer he gives non-socialists.

And if you ask any of America’s enemies, they can confirm that the naked Obama action figure is anatomically-correct because it has no balls.

How one Democrat solves the lack of diversity at his rallies: PhotoShop

Romanoff’s crack tech team merged at least three photos – Romanoff amidst a group of people, a separate crowd shot and a separate photo of a black woman – to create a website banner worthy of the Rainbow Coalition.

Andrew Romanoff, a Colorado Democrat who’s waging a primary campaig against incumbent United States Senator Michael Bennet, has figured out a simple way to assure diversity at his rallies. It’s called PhotoShop.

Take one photo of Romanoff with a lily white crowd...

Romanoff’s crack tech team merged at least three photos – Romanoff amidst a group of people, a separate crowd shot and a separate photo of a black woman – to create a website banner worthy of the Rainbow Coalition.

The Denver Post has the story:

A photo montage on Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff’s website was manipulated to make it appear as though an African-American supporter was standing directly at his side in the shot.

...add an unrelated black woman and Voila! You have the website banner shown above

The woman, former Denver School Board candidate Andrea Mosby, was at his campaign kickoff at Washington Park last September. But she was not standing directly next to Romanoff when that particular picture was taken.

Mosby said Wednesday she has no problem with what happened, and Romanoff’s campaign said it did nothing wrong in putting together a series of photos that appear to be one.“We’re not putting in someone who wasn’t at the rally. We do nothing that suggests the rally is bigger than it was,” said campaign spokesman Roy Teicher.

“The practice of using Photoshop is absolutely accepted under these circumstances.”

Really? What if, oh, say, the organizers of a Tea Party had done something like this.

And if it is, in fact, absolutely acceptable, why has Romanoff now removed the PhotoShopped image from his website?

Tsk, tsk, tsk.
