Barack Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, 44th president of the United States — socialist, radical, and enemy of Americans who believe in the constitution. Here are hundreds of articles on this man.
The White House is all smiles, the citizenry is mostly placated, and the media are ignoring our real problems. But, underneath all that, the survival of America as we know it is at stake. People paying attention are seeing the decline of America’s power, and see the fall coming on more quickly than most of us would expect.

One such thinker is David Murrin, CIO of Emergent Asset Management and author of Breaking the Code of History, who outlined the currently unfolding scenario to CNBC’s Squawk Box Europe. He contends that the course Obama has put America on with Obamacare reminds him of the dismantling of the British empire after World War II, when the nation created their National Health Service, which ensures universal health coverage in Britain. But the Obama Administration is not only setting us on this path with his social policy, he is also appeasing our enemies around the world.

“Let me remind you this [Americans allegedly dying because of lack of universal health care] has been going on for years. We are bringing it to a halt. The harsh fact of the matter is when you’re going to pass legislation that will cover 300 [million] American people in different ways it takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps that have to be taken to put the legislation together to control the people.”
You’ve probably heard that the Democrats went out and celebrated their ObamaCare victory until the wee hours of the morning. Here’s an exclusive look at what that party looked like.

The Israelis lay blame the recent violence in Jerusalem directly at the feet of Barack Obama. C’mon, these guys are smart enough to know that Joe Biden was reading from Obama’s script. Maybe even his teleprompter.
Can someone please explain the Palestinians rock-throwing proclivity to us?
The Israelis lay blame the recent violence in Jerusalem directly at the feet of Barack Obama. C’mon, these guys are smart enough to know that Joe Biden was reading from Obama’s script. Maybe even his teleprompter.
Israel National News has more intifada info:
Close to 200 people converged on the Gush Etzion intersection on Saturday night to protest what they called the “Obama Intifada.” The ongoing Arab violence, which has seen a sharp increase in rock-throwings and even live-fire attacks on Israeli vehicles over the past week, continued Sunday morning with riots near Tekoa and an attempted stabbing east of Shechem.
The Gush Etzion demonstrators held signs reading, “Crush the Obama intifada! No more rock-throwing! Stop the building freeze against the Jews.”
Among the public figures who arrived and spoke at the Saturday night protest were Rabbis Dov Lior, Gideon Perl, Yosef Tzvi Rimon, and Yaron Durani; Rabbi Avi Weiss from New York, columnist Dr. Amiel Ungar, Atty. Elyakim Haetzni, Efrat Mayor Oded Revivi, and Kiryat Arba Mayor Malachi Levinger.
Joe Biden got very excited about the news. “That’s great,” he said, “I love Obama’s frittatas.”
Unf–ingbelievable. The day liberals have been waiting for, what Obama spent his entire first year on, the bill that’s been “100 years in the making.” And what does Joe Biden have to say about it? He whispers to President Obama, with millions watching–and listening–“this is a big f–king deal!”

The Obama administration: Fascist. Dishonest. Vulgar.
Our president has a bit of a problem with telling the truth. No, let’s be more clear, he’s a pathological liar. Today, we see that he’s about to break the promise he so sternly made back on the campaign trail, when he said the “public will have five days to look at every bill that lands on my desk” before he signs it into law. It looks like Obamacare won’t even make it two days.

To recap, in that campaign speech candidate Obama manages to tell seven, count ’em, seven lies in only two minutes.
Make government ppen and transparent
Make it “impossible” for congressmen to slip in pork barrel projects
Meetings where laws are written will be more open to the public
No more secrecy
Public will have 5 days to look at a bill before signing
The President, Vice President, cabinet members and top White House staff are all exempt from ObamaCare. And Republican Senator Chuck Grassley wants to change that.
You're a dreamer, Chuck Grassley, a dreamer
The President, Vice President, cabinet members and top White House staff are all exempt from ObamaCare. And Republican Senator Chuck Grassley wants to change that.
“It’s pretty unbelievable that the President and his closest advisors remain untouched by the reforms they pushed for the rest of the country. In other words, President Obama’s health care reform won’t apply to President Obama,” Grassley said. “Last December, the effort to apply any new law to administration political leaders was rejected by the Senate Majority Leader. But there’s no justification for the double standard, and I’ll continue to work to establish fairness.”
The Senate legislation passed…by the House of Representatives includes an amendment Grassley sponsored and got adopted by the Finance Committee last fall to have members of Congress and their staffs get their health insurance through the same health insurance exchanges where health plans for the general public would be available. During the closed-door negotiations on the bill late last year, the Senate Majority Leader carved out Senate committee and leadership staff from this requirement.
Subsequently, Grassley and Senator Tom Coburn attempted to offer another amendment to restore the requirement during Senate debate on the health care bill, but the Senate Majority Leader would not let their amendment to fix this loophole even come up for a vote. In addition to Senate committee and leadership staff, the amendment Grassley and Coburn filed during the Senate debate would have made the President, the Vice President, top White House staff and cabinet members all get their health insurance through the newly created exchanges. It would not have applied to federal employees in the civil service.
Grassley said, “It’s only fair and logical that top administration officials, who fought so hard for passage of this overhaul of America’s health care system, experience it themselves. If it’s as good as promised, they’ll know it first-hand. If there are problems, they’ll be able to really understand them, as they should.”
Grassley said the motivation for his amendments is simple: public officials who make the laws or lead efforts to have laws changed should live under those laws.
Let’s reverse this, Senator Grassley, and demand that the kind of healthcare the top Democrats receive.
Hairplugs like Joe Biden’s for everyone! Botox like Nancy Pelosi’s for everyone. Dull pills like Harry Reid’s for everyone!
Workers of the world unite. In song, that is. Now that ObamaCare has passed and America is officially a socialist nation, you might as well begin learning The Internationale, the anthem of socialists around the world.

OK, go ahead and say it. “You guys at IHateTheMedia.com have some strange reading habits.”
That being said, Graham Ford writes in his laugh-filled article “The Ancient Art of Bloodletting” that “The practice of bloodletting seemed logical when the foundation of all medical treatment was based on the four body humors: blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. Health was thought to be restored by purging, starving, vomiting or bloodletting.”
Democrat bleeding a taxpayer dry.

Admittedly this is all horrible sounding stuff. Bloodletting, vomiting, starving, purging, Botox (OK, we stuck that last one in there) are all ancient remedies that no one in their right mind would ever recommend. No one.
But given the Democrats’ proclivity for re-doing things that have been tried before and then using the “Hey, if it was good enough for them, it’s good enough for us” defense, we wouldn’t be surprised if all of these practices may soon be coming your way again.
Think of it this way. If these ancient treatments are once again utilized, ObamaCare will, in fact, reduce healthcare costs. Unfortunately, that will occur only as a nasty side effect of shrinking the population.
Speaking of bloodletting, how much longer until November?
One, when did Barack Obama ever take a tough vote? Instead of leading in the Illinois Senate, he consistently voted “Present”. Two, the quote he attributes to Lincoln probably wasn’t said by Lincoln.
The Greatest President In History was out there inspiring Democrats prior to the ObamaCare vote by saying:
“I’ve been in your shoes. I know what it’s like to take a tough vote. But what did Lincoln say? ‘I am not bound to win, but I’m bound to be true.’”
Two things about this.
One, when did Barack Obama ever take a tough vote? Instead of leading in the Illinois Senate, he consistently voted “Present”. Two, the quote he attributes to Lincoln probably wasn’t said by Lincoln.
The clip above is an edited version of Obama’s complete comment, which was, “I have the great pleasure of having a really nice library at the White House. And I was tooling through some of the writings of some previous Presidents and I came upon this quote by Abraham Lincoln: ‘I am not bound to win, but I’m bound to be true. I’m not bound to succeed, but I’m bound to live up to what light I have.’”
As John J. Pitney, Jr. noted in National Review’s The Corner, “The book he was consulting may have been They Never Said It, by Paul F. Boller and John George. If so, he missed what they said about the Lincoln passage: ‘This sounds like Honest Abe, but honesty compels admirers of Lincoln to admit that there is no documentary evidence for the statement.’”
It’s only fitting, wouldn’t you agree, that Barack Obama inspires phony confidence with a phony quote.

All of a sudden Democrats are singing the praises of the Congressional Budget Office.
But quick, who were the three biggest critics of the CBO back in July of 2009? If you said Pelosi, Dodd and Obama, you win.
President Obama is now singing the praises of the CBO
All of a sudden Democrats are singing the praises of the Congressional Budget Office.
But quick, who were the three biggest critics of the CBO back in July of 2009? If you said Pelosi, Dodd and Obama, you win.
It seems that back when the CBO was asking if Congress was smoking crack, or words to that effect, Nancy Pelosi and company didn’t think the CBO was so “wonderful” and “precise.”
Back then, the Queen of Congress said, “..it’s always been a source of, yes, I will say frustration, for many of us in Congress that the CBO will always give you the worst case scenario on one initiative and never … any credit for anything that happens if you have early intervention, health care. If you have prevention, if you have wellness … you name any positive investment that we make, that we know reduces cost, brings money to the Treasury in the case of education but never scored positively by the CBO. Yes, it is frustrating.”
Chris Dodd also bitched about how unfair the CBO was saying “One of the things that’s disappointing about CBO — and frustrating — is all the work…done on prevention” that the CBO doesn’t factor in.”
But no one was less in love with the CBO than The Greatest President In History, who said during one of those White-House-Goes-to-a-Townhall episodes “…the CBO, which sort of polices what all various programs cost, they’re not willing to credit us with those savings. They say, ‘That may be nice, that may save a lot of money, but we can’t be certain.’ So we expect that not only are we going to pay for health care reform in a deficit-neutral way, but that’s it also going to achieve big savings across the system — including in the private sector where the Congressional Budget Office never gives us any credit — but if hospitals and doctors are starting to operate in a smarter way, that’s going to help you even if you’re not involved in a government system.”
But now everything is wonderful with the CBO, Congress and, of course, President Obama.
So what changed? Well, it could have been the unprecedented calling of the head of the CBO Douglas Elmendorf to the White House, where he was personally educated by the Greatest Professor In History on numbers, health care and stuff.
As one wit said, think of it as baseball umpires visiting the owner’s box.
Through outright bribery and/or threats to reveal photos of recalcitrant Democrats in compromising positions with farm animals, Obama is on the verge of having enough votes to cram this bloated pig of a bill down he throats of an unwilling electorate.
Earth to Obama: the American people don’t want your stinkin’ healthcare plan.
Ahhh, who do we think we’re kidding. This president doesn’t give a good god damn what the American people want.
Here’s how Rasmussen describes the situation:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 23% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-four percent (44%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21. That matches the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President.
Each time the President leads a big push for his health care plan, his job approval ratings suffer. While some portions of the plan are popular, others are not. Most voters oppose the proposed Medicare savings and the taxes involved. As a result, most voters continue to oppose the legislation. Just 20% of voters believe that most Members of Congress will understand the proposed health care bill before they vote on it. From a political perspective, 50% are less likely to vote for a Member of Congress who supports the health care reform plan proposed by the President and Congressional Democrats.
Nevertheless, through outright bribery and/or threats to reveal photos of recalcitrant Democrats in compromising positions with farm animals, Obama is on the verge of having enough votes to cram this bloated pig of a bill down he throats of an unwilling electorate.
Consider this the Democrats version of democracy in action.
Chris Matthews is upset – very upset – that Bret Baier had the temerity to repeatedly interrupt the Greatest President In History during his Fox News interview.
Hilarious. Absolutely hilarious. Funniest thing ever on MSNBC.
Chris Matthews is upset – very upset – that Bret Baier had the temerity to repeatedly interrupt the Greatest President In History during his Fox News interview.
At least Matthews is consistent. After all, this is a guy who never allows his guests to interrupt his questions with answers.
Yeah, that Chris Matthews.
But Matthews’ comments pale in comparison to the plums that come out of the mouths of guests Joan Walsh and Cynthia Tucker. Listen to the whole segment.
We’ve been out of town for a couple days and apparently missed the story about that horrible Hawaiian earthquake.
President Obama told Fox News’ Bret Baier that he supports “The Louisiana Purchase” in Obamacare because it will cover natural disasters like the recent Hawaiian earthquake.

Obama: It also affects Hawaii, which went through an earthquake. So that’s not just a Louisiana provision. That is a provision that affects every state that is going through a natural catastrophe.
Of course, there’s been no devastating Hawaiian earthquake. Did he mean Haiti? Or Chile? Or has he given up cigarettes and returned to the wacky tabacky?
Make MSNBC’s Chris Matthews the latest liberal to jump on the Slaughter Strategy dog pile.
It’s not like Matthews thinks Deem and Pass is unethical or even unconstitutional. No, not at all. He’s merely worried that this convoluted Parliamentary procedure will cost the Democrats dearly in 2010 and 2012.

It was just announced that the President Obama’s trip has been canceled. Expect celebrations to break out in Jakarta.
Indonesians demonstrating their love for President Obama
UPDATE: It was just announced that the President’s trip has been canceled. Expect celebrations to break out in Jakarta.
To go or not to go, that is the question.
Should President Obama delay his Indonesian trip to satisfy House Democrats? Or should he cancel is completely to satisfy protesting Indonesians?
Politico reports on the House Democrats:
Last week, the president pushed back his planned Friday departure three days after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats groused he was leaving at a critical time.
“For the first time in eight months, the president is finally getting his hands dirty, and now he’s going to hop on the plane? Please,” said a Democratic congressman, requesting anonymity.
“These deadlines are sort of silly,” the member added. “Remember the first one? March 18th? That was sort of like putting a calendar on [White House chief of staff] Rahm’s [Emanuel’s] back and inviting members to throw darts at him.”
Another Democrat told POLITICO bluntly, “This trip is really getting in the way of things.”
Ahhh, but if the Democrats think they’re pissed off about Obama’s Indonesian trip, they should talk to some Indonesians.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports the other end of the story:
Thousands of Indonesian Muslims have staged peaceful rallies in cities across the country to protest US President Barack Obama’s visit later this month.
Around 2,000 protesters from the hardline Muslim group Hizbut Tahrir, which aims to establish a Muslim caliphate, shouted “Islam united… will not be defeated. Reject Obama” and tore printouts of the American flag as they marched around the South Sulawesi capital of Makassar on Sunday.
In Central Java’s Solo city, another 500 of the group’s supporters carried posters saying “Expel Obama.. leader of coloniser” and “America.. The Real Terrorists”.
“There are two types of visitors, good and bad. Obama is bad. He might be of a different skin colour from George Bush, but he still oppressed the Muslims,” the group’s spokesman Nur Alam said, referring to former US president George W. Bush.
Hey, wait just a second. Didn’t Obama apologize to the Muslim world? We thought they love us now.
There’s only one way to solve this problem, President Obama. Go over there to Indonesia and give them another speech. Because that approach has worked sooooo well for you on ObamaCare.
Let’s just give you the highlights of Jack Cafferty’s attack on Nancy Pelosi and the whole damn reconciliation process
Let’s just give you the highlights of Jack Cafferty’s attack on Nancy Pelosi and the whole damn reconciliation process:
Just when you think you’ve seen it all in Washington, along comes something like this… Politically speaking, this is beyond sleazy… In Nancy Pelosi’s world, accountability is a dirty word… Republicans are jumping all over this, rightfully so. They’re painting it as a way for Democrats to avoid taking responsibility, which is exactly what it is… We’re learning a lot more about lack of political guts… This reeks!
Uh-oh. No matter whether the bill goes up or down, Obama and the Democrats are going down.
Cindy Sheehan is about to start another anti-war camp. This one will be in Washington, and it could conceivably last for months.
Famed war protester and fashion icon Cindy Sheehan
Poor Cindy Sheehan. She was the liberal media darling when she protested all of George Bush’s supposed misdeeds. But now that she’s protesting Barack Obama’s war machine, the daft old dear is finding reporters and news cameras in very short supply.
Cindy Sheehan is about to start another anti-war camp. This one will be in Washington, and it could conceivably last for months. The problem?
“I’m kind of over the whole camping thing,” she admits.
It’s a fair enough statement for Sheehan, who gained international attention in 2005 for “Camp Casey,” a five-week protest outside of then-President George W. Bush’s Crawford, Texas, ranch during which she demanded a meeting with the commander in chief to hear an explanation for her son Casey’s death in Iraq. She spent most of that time in a ditch on the side of a road leading to the president’s grounds.
Five years and a new president later, however, Sheehan will be sleeping under the stars again, and for the same cause. Her new coalition, Peace of the Action, is launching the Camp OUT NOW! tent city at the base of the Washington Monument next week in an effort to get President Barack Obama to pull troops out of Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan immediately. (Sheehan concedes that this time around, she will rent a bedroom in which to store her belongings, take showers and occasionally sleep.)
She’s protesting Barack Obama? We’ll watch for all those engrossing Cindy Sheehan updates that are sure to air on the nightly news.
In all the hullabaloo about Obama’s 3000% comment, everyone missed this little gem from the same speech: “And she upped her deductible last year to the minimum [sic], the highest possible deductible.”
ObamaCare will raise federal tax rates to 50-60%, says Jim Cramer. So what’s your point, Cramer? Isn’t that exactly what this whole exercise is all about?
