I HATE THE MEDIA ™

The Obama administration restructured a half-billion dollar federal loan to a troubled solar energy company in such a way that private investors — including a fundraiser for President Barack Obama — moved ahead of taxpayers for repayment in case of a default, government records show. Yep, we plan on keeping a spot light on Solargate. One that is, unfortunately for the President, not powered by Solyndra tech.

Obama Administration Officials Buying Up Copies Of Unflattering Book. Hope and change is turning into crash and burn. Speaking of burn, we wonder if the White House will have the fire department burn the books ala Fahrenheit 451?

Sweet revenge! Poll reveals Hillary Clinton is more popular than Obama – and is now America’s favourite politician. Not only is Obama now underwater in the polls, Hillary is now more popular than he is. It must suck to be Obama these days. Soon, even Casey Anthony will be more popular.

New poll says for the first time, Obama’s personal favorability rating is underwater. Just 39 percent of Americans have a favorable opinion of Obama, while 42 percent view him unfavorably. That’s down from 40/34 in January. This may be the straw poll that broke the donkey’s back. Captain, we can’t re-arrange the deck chairs again, they’re… (glub!) What was the old Monkees’ tune… “Take the last bullet train to Carterville.” The new hit of the fall TV season will Steven Urkel in “Welcome Back, Carter!” We’ve got a trillion of ’em….

NASA Admits Solar Activity Causes Global Warming “NASA spokeswoman Beth Dickey confirmed with SPACE.com earlier today that the reason [satellite] UARS is expected to fall early in its re-entry window is because of the sharp uptick in solar activity. Solar effects from the sun can create an extra drag on satellites in space because they can heat the Earth’s atmosphere…” Oops. I don’t know if this little Dickey is going to have a job tomorrow.

Mayor Thug (Rahm Emanuel) has decided to use health care as a method of controlling the off time lives of city workers. But we can imagine an era in the not so distant future when just such a mechanism is used against all citizens. Such is the almost inevitable result of a health care system that exists solely to buy the votes of the tax eaters with the labor of the tax slaves.

GE refutes charges of crony capitalism: “We are not receiving special treatment…” Tim Carney of the Washington Examiner responds:“GE, again, spends more on lobbying than any other company. Its lobbyists include Linda Daschle, whose husband Tom was the Senate Majority Leader and today is a confidant of Obama.” Since GE’s not getting any special treatment, we surmise they’re paying Linda because she’s such fun at the annual picnic. BTW, on the same website is an article “GE, Partner Announce 300 Megawatt Deal for Two Wind Farms in Illinois.” Yep, we gotta admit, wind and solar energy are two business lines absolutely devoid of rent-seeking and crony capitalism. Pardon us.

World Bank warns of ‘failing’ international carbon market. Report shows collapse in market with just $1.5bn of credits traded internationally last year. Poor Al Gore may have to sell his ocean-side mansion in Montecito to cover his losses. So much for that scam.

Fraud Watch – Twitter Censors Opposition to Obama from ‘Trending’ Reports: #AttackWatch. While laughing at President Obama’s AttackWatch.com epoch fail on Twitter via the hash tag #attackwatch the site suddenly crashed for about an hour.  Twitter is not known for reliability, but what followed deserves a massive outcry. When the site returned, #attackwatch was hidden from the trending topics.

NPR compares Obama’s “if you love me, help me pass this bill” convo to Bible verse. Sounds like NPR has a messianic complex about their “messiah.” Remember the first commandment? And God spake all these words, saying, I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. (Exodus 20:1-3) So, if you  get hit in the ass by a lightning bolt don’t blame us.

In a memo to “Sunday Show Producers”, Axelrod complained “Members of the media have focused on the President’s approval ratings as if they existed in a black box.” Yeah, they never acted that way when his ratings were in the 70% range (BTW, shouldn’t that line read “box of color”?) Reading Axelrod’s memo, you’d think if the election were tomorrow, President Bozo would sweep all 57 states. Wonder why ole Serpent Head is advising “PANIC!”, then?

The UK wants to know: “Can a garden hose to the stratosphere really keep the planet cool?” The experiment… is meant as a test of a proposed geoengineering technique for offsetting the warming effects of greenhouse gases. If the balloon and hose can handle the water’s weight and pressure, similar pipes rising 20 kilometers could pump tons of reflective aerosols into the stratosphere. Why don’t they just give Al Gore an enema, feed him a bunch of tacos and point his butt skyward? We would also point out that it may be a lot easier to cool the planet than it will be to warm it back up when they finally figure out this AGW stuff is all Gore-sh*t.

On Sept17, US Day of Rage has peaceable assemblies of people planned in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and Portland. “We call on the rest of the nation to join us and occupy Wall Street.” The whole nation will fit in downtown Manhattan? And what are their “demands”? Stuff like We demand satisfaction for the wrongs done to our nation and its people” and “One citizen. One dollar. One vote.” We’d like to throw in a demand for some non-gibberish if we might…

Super MariObama 2! This should be sent to the kiddies at Attack Watch so they get en effing clue what kind of president they’re supporting.

Hollywood’s enthusiasm for Obama wanes: “even devoted Democrats are approaching his re-election campaign with all the enthusiasm of a studio contractually obligated to finance a dubious sequel.” What’s da problem, dahlings? “Too much compromise,” say the country’s leading chiselers and corner-cutters. The irony is that under the type of control-freak totalitarian regime they seem to desire, history suggests they’d be the first ones sent to the gulags… or worse.

Ruh-roh: Obama WH clearing space under the bus for Chief of Staff Daley. “Is there a level of unhappiness with Bill around the White House? Yeah,” said a person close to Obama who spoke on condition of anonymity, like almost all other insiders interviewed for this story. Yup, it’s as predictable as a federally-subsidized green energy company going bankrupt: Bush, Arabs, earthquakes, tsunamis, The Tea Party and now Bill Daley. Obama would be a success if it weren’t for… well, almost everybody.

Blackface Obama billboard sparks outrage. “This is 2011 and not 1950,” he said. “I find it racist through and through.” Yes, there is a theme… Oh and you might like this story about Obama Chicken Fingers.

Consumer Hope for Future Hits Lowest Level Since 1980. “Even without a downturn, consumer spending will not be strong enough to enable the rapid job growth that is needed to offset reduced long-term expectations.” Another time travel story. We’re in need of Reagan 2.0!

NYC nanny Mayor Bloomberg predicts riots in the streets if economy doesn’t create more jobs. Just call ’em the “Obamacare riots,” Nanny.

Steyn on ‘Attack Watch’: ‘It’s real pansy-boy stuff.’ “I think this … there’s nothing that comes of this. They don’t even have the guts, by the way — and this is why you know it’s real pansy-boy stuff — they don’t even have the guts to link to your original ‘smear’.” What do you expect from a president who wears mom jeans?

CONGRESSMAN ON SOLYNDRA: ‘AN ILLEGAL ACT.’ In Rep. Cliff Stearn’s opinion, the DOE ensuring hedge funds receive payoffs from their investments before tax payers is an “illegal act.” No wonder everyone’s calling it solargate.

Obama admin ignored warnings about Solyndra. Here’s one e-mail that shows us that the government knew Solyndra was soon going down the tubes. “The optics of a Solyndra default will be bad,” an official from the Office of Management and Budget wrote in a Jan. 31 email to a senior OMB official. “The timing will likely coincide with the 2012 campaign season heating up.” Meanwhile, everyone else was claiming things financial at Solyndra were stellar. Crooks!

President Peter Principle hasn’t been briefed on the Solyndra scandal. Because, well, because Press Secretary Jay Carney says there’s no reason for him to be briefed. I’ve always believed that your course in life is strongly influenced by the name you’re either burdened by or blessed with. Case in point: When a guy’s name is Carney he has no hope of ever being more than a sniveling, conniving liar.

President Peter Principle wants to bypass Congress. “As I mentioned when I was at La Raza a few weeks back, I wish I had a magic wand and could make this all happen on my own,” President Obama told the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute. “There are times where — until Nancy Pelosi is speaker again — I’d like to work my way around Congress.” His Teleprompter must have been on the blink because Obama certainly didn’t mean he wanted a magic wand. No, we’re pretty sure he meant an orb and scepter and, perhaps, a magnificent bejeweled crown set upon his head at a jaunty angle.

Rand Paul mocks Obama, says “Pass this bill now.” In this short clip, Senator Rand Paul demands that Congress pass the Republicans NLRB bill. Seems to us that a president’s political career has officially gone on life support when members of the opposition feel free to openly mock him. No?
