The mystery surrounding ‘Uncle Omar’: Obama’s relative sprung from jail – but where is he now?

Busted: Onyango Obama, a long-lost relative of the President who moved to the U.S. in the 60s, posed for a mug shot after his drunk-driving arrest

President Obama’s so-called ‘Uncle Omar’ was quietly released from jail yesterday, but the reason why, as well as his current whereabouts, are unknown.

We don’t know where ‘Uncle Omar’ is either but we’ll bet he isn’t on his way back to Kenya. That phone call to the White House must have worked.

Charles Krauthammer’s pithy summary of Obama’s jobs plan: “This isn’t a jobs plan. It’s a set-up.” And this isn’t opinion, it’s a fact.

If we’re not mistaken, President Obama wants Congress to pass this bill. Say it seventeen times, click your heels together and it will come true.

UPDATE: Solyndra Targeted In Criminal Probe. The Wall Street Journal reports Solyndra is the target of a criminal investigation into whether its executives knowingly misled the government to secure more than $500 million in loan guarantees. Meanwhile the President was sighted heading to a golf course to look for the real criminals.

Presenting the Republicans’ response to President Obama’s long-awaited job speech, Miss Peggy Lee. “The economy’s going up in flames, and we look at President Obama and say, ‘Is that all there is?’ Then let’s keep dancing, let’s bring out the booze, and let’s have a ball.”

Bad press and close polls have Nancy Pelosi fretting about a Weprin loss in NY-9.Weprin sounds like a weak candidate but this is one of those districts the Dems can run a dead dog in and win. Then again, a dead dog is probably a better candidate than Weprin. Regardless, we’ll believe he’s a loser when and if we see it on election night.

Georgia police: Woman dies after exposure to odor at McDonald’s. Upon arrival, first responders found two people unconscious in the women’s restroom and also “became stricken (by) an odor,” according to Revenew. Pooler Fire Chief Wade Simmons said crews “immediately backed out and put on their breathing apparatus,” at which point they re-entered the bathroom. Must have been one helluva dump.

The EPA believes it exists to serve leftist environmental groups, not the public.The EPA bureaucrats subvert the will of the people to impose their own desires through judicial mandates they engineered. Obama’s same old new “jobs” plan is unneeded, just defunding the economy-killing racket known as the EPA will improve things in a hurry, and save a bunch of money to boot.

Cain Responds to President Obama’s Speech on Jobs. Short, direct to the point and sweet.

Schumer: We didn’t exploit the tragedy to renew debates about the size or role of government. We confronted challenges first — and considered the politics later. Chucky longs for the the halcyon days of 2001 when we didn’t waste good crises, we just went out and spent money like there was no debt ceiling. But now, thanks to those damn Tea Party racists, voters are demanding folks like Schumer actually count how much money they’re flushing and fret about how many overpaid “assistants to the chief administrator’s assistant” are larding up government payrolls. Sorry if gubbermint’s no fun anymore pal, but your way of “confronting challenges” has created a much bigger challenge: the gargantuan bill for your miserable stewardship is coming due.

Obama wants “unity” and he wants service. And he’s not afraid of using the 10th Anniversary of the 911 attacks to get them. For unity it is easy, all the man has to do is start embracing freedom and property and we’ll gladly lend him our support. As for service, that is a bit trickier. We’ve already sacrificed enough for Dear Leader to buy votes and pay off political favors with. And with nearly three years in office we think it’s about time that this President started serving us for a change.

As America’s first black president, Obama had a unique opportunity to tackle the inner city’s chronic crime by personally connecting with people to transform a family culture of dependency. This high-profile family man could have taught by example the importance of family and security. Instead, Obama’s orgy of welfare spending has only exacerbated Detroit’s problems – further dooming a generation of black children to violence. Teaching by example? That’s blaming the victim. Besides, if there’s no checks being written, there’s no way to reward your cronies, is there?

Obama Didn’t Hear Hoffa, Just Like He Never Heard Reverend Wright. With ears like his we’d think that Obama wouldn’t need hearing aids. We suggest he immediately head over to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for a hearing test as there must be a problem. Perhaps they’re just clogged with BS?

Trumka To Obama: “Go To The Mat” For Labor Tonight. Trumka says if we stop giving the jobless their unemployment insurance (U.I.), or unemployment benefits, then his unemployed union thugs may attack him it will hurt the economy. In the Godfather the Mafia dudes said they “were going to the mattresses” when they were at war. Considering Jimmy Hoffa’s recent comments it seems like a fitting comparison to us.

Three reasons Rick Perry is wrong about Social Security being a Ponzi scheme. Here’s one: participation in Ponzi schemes is voluntary. Not so with Social Security. If Charles Ponzi were alive today, he might call his cons “non-compulsory government schemes.” Then again, if Ponzi were alive today he’d be a national Democrat and get praised for his schemes instead of prosecuted. Friedman was right about SS not being a Ponzi scheme, but he’s still an idiot.

A devious blogger has obtained the list of questions the media will be asking at the first 2012 presidential debate. A sample: To President Obama: Who is your favorite Beatle? To Republican: Why don’t you go jump off a bridge? A big one.? Unexpectedly, the Republican candidate’s answers will be disrupted by a guy with a mustache making farting noises off stage. Pity, that.

Dear nudists: Please cover up, the seat at least. Supervisor Scott Wiener introduced legislation Tuesday that would require nudists to put something under their bottoms if they take a seat in public and to cover up when they’re in a restaurant. You can’t make this stuff up.

Smackdown: Rick Santelli tells Thomas Friedman he’s idiotic. Just what you need to get your morning started off right – Rick Santelli gets into it with Thomas Friedman because he refuses to answer a simple question.

FBI agents executing search warrant at Solyndra. Sounds like the Obama administration isn’t so enamored with Solyndra since they filed for bankruptcy. The sun isn’t going to shine on them anymore.

The number of Americans filing new claims for jobless benefits rose unexpectedly last week, further evidence of a weak labor market just hours before President Barack Obama unveils a plan on job creation in a major address to Congress. The word “unexpectedly” returns unexpectedly just hours before President Barack Obama unveils a plan on job creation that is not expected to do crap. What the world really wants to know is if the sun also rises “unexpectedly” in Reuters’ worldview.

Obama fancies 2012 being a rerun of Truman’s 1948 comeback but there are important differnces: for instance, Truman didn’t force a health care plan the public hated down their throats. Sure, Obama may have fancied himself as Lincoln, FDR, Reagan and now Truman, but the reality on the ground keeps pointing to Carter. As Yogi Berra might say, it could be deja-lose all over again.

Keith Olbermann has had it up to here with Barack Obama. Yes, Olbermann’s still on the air over at Al Gore’s Current TV, the network no one watches. And he’s very unhappy that President Obama ran from his own stricter smog standards like a little girl from a bug.

ACLU Plans Lawsuit Over Florida’s Welfare Drug Tests. “The spokesman says Florida’s drug testing law is unconstitutional, saying it violates the Fourth Amendment’s search and seizure protections.” Next step? Florida needs to begin drug testing people who bring lawsuits.

Gallup: Obama’s now bleeding blacks and Hispanics. “During the month, Gallup interviewed 1,183 Hispanics and 48 percent of them said they approved of the job Obama was doing as president. Gallup also interviewed 1,137 blacks during August and 84 percent said they approved of the job Obama was doing.” Only 84% among blacks? Consider it official: President Obama’s approval rating is now uglier than Maxine Waters.

Liberal hypocrisy alert: Bob Beckel says Bobby Jindal “reminded me of a call center ad in Mumbai”. Had a conservative said something like this the liberal wailing and caterwauling would have gone on for weeks, cries of racism would be heard on every newscast, and Jesse Jackson would suddenly find great compassion for his sub-continental brothers. Especially if there was a TV camera nearby.
