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.

Reggae song supports Barack Obama. Or does it?

“Barack Obama” by Blakk Rasta, a reggae song was palyed over and over in Accra, Ghana Africa. Is it pro-Obama or ant-Obama?

One song was played over and over when President Obama arrived in Accra, Ghana last week. It was a reggae hit called “Barack Obama” by Blakk Rasta.

We’re not big reggae fans. Sorry. We like it, but it’s just waaaaay to repetitive. It all sounds the same to us. Maybe we just have tin ears.

The Obama fans at the New York Times seem to think the song is a paean to The Greatest President In History. They called it a proud celebration of the first African-American president. And at first listen, it seems to be.

But as one HuffingtonPost.com comment said, “It a rebuke and a plea for action. It suggests that a black man as president is a sign that we’re in the end times. It’s critical of Obama’s views on social issues and America’s use of bombs. He calls Obama ‘idiot bwoy’ for using the words, ‘God bless America,’ and warns him that there are two-faced people ready to destroy him. It urges him to use his power to lift Africa out of poverty instead of joining with the people with the ‘fake’ smiles.”

Thought we also heard a line condemning Obama for “legalizing unnecessary abortions in America.”

We actually Googled the lyrics, but we’re just not fluent enough in rasta patois to comprehend them any better in written form than in audio form.

Listen to it. What do you think? Is the message pro-Obama? Anti-Obama?

Inappropriate title: Obama’s “Green Jobs Czar” is admitted communist

One would think it newsworthy if the President of the United States Barack Obama appointed Van Jones, an admitted communist, to a key position as Green Jobs Czar in his administration. Wouldn’t one?

Van Jones Communist Green Jobs Czar
Is Van Jones is a watermelon: green on the outside, red on the inside

One would think it newsworthy if the President of the United States appointed an admitted communist to a key position in his administration. Wouldn’t one?

Then how can it be explained that the media has given virtually no attention to the political beliefs of Van Jones, the man President Obama has named “Green Jobs Czar”?

Jones is William Ayers without the bombs. He’s the ultimate watermelon: green on the outside, red on the inside.

Here’s how the East Bay Express described the Van Jones’ background:

[Van] Jones had planned to move to Washington, DC, and had already landed a job and an apartment there. But in jail, he said, “I met all these young radical people of color — I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, ‘This is what I need to be a part of.'” Although he already had a plane ticket, he decided to stay in San Francisco. “I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary.” In the months that followed, he let go of any lingering thoughts that he might fit in with the status quo. “I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th,” he said. “By August, I was a communist.”

And Van Jones is a member in good standing of the Obama administration, one of “czars” appointed by Obama who reports only to Obama and who, therefore, never had to withstand the rigors of a senate confirmation process.

Roosevelt gave you the New Deal, Obama gives you the raw deal

Time Magazine compared Barack Obama to Franklin Roosevelt, complete with cigarette holder and massive federal intervention. Is it an accurate comparison?

time-obama-rooseveltTime Magazine compared Barack Obama to Franklin Roosevelt, complete with cigarette holder and massive federal intervention.

Is it an accurate comparison?

If you believe Lee Ohanian and Harold Cole it may be true, but not in the happy talk, cheerleady way that Time intended.

The two UCLA economists contend that Roosevelt’s interventionist policies actually made the Great Depression even more…well…depressing.

Just like some critics say that Obama’s “stimulus” is making the recession even more…uhhh…recessional.

Palau blackmailing Obama, wants more money

The tiny island nation of Palau is “asking” the United States, its longtime sugar daddy, to ante up “aid” money for another 35 years.

Strange, foreign terrorists. An exotic island paradise. Blackmail. It has the makings of a great movie.
Strange, foreign terrorists. An exotic island paradise. Blackmail. It has the makings of a great movie.

We’ve watched Law & Order enough times to know that you should never make the mistake of paying a blackmailer. Pay them once, the police always say, and they’ll keep coming back for more.

In a real world example of the same principle, the tiny island nation of Palau is “asking” the United States, its longtime sugar daddy, to ante up “aid” money for another 35 years.

Obama made the mistake of bribing Palau $200 million to take 13 Gitmo detainees. Now Palau is coming back for more water from the same well.

They’re proposing a 30-year extension to the Compact of Free Association between the two nations. That means they want the gravy train (or in this case, the gravy boat) to continue for a couple more generations.

Palauan negotiator Joshua Koshiba said Palau’s “offer” to take the Uighur terrorists was “a positive for the negotiation.”

“I can point my finger at them now and say, ‘See, we are helping you too, without asking for help only,”‘ he said.

Koshiba said Palau will weigh its options if Uncle Sugar Daddy won’t pay up.

“When you have a friend, if they don’t want to be your friend anymore, what do you do? Don’t you look for another friend?” Koshiba waxed philosophically.

We would also like to wax philosophically in response:

Screw you and the Uighurs you rode in on, Palau.

Buyer’s remorse: Voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on most key issues

Barack Obama, the Greatest President in History, is plummeting in the polls and taking the rest of the Democrats along for the ride.

barack-obama-whoops-buyers-remorse

The Greatest President in History is plummeting in the polls and taking the rest of the Democrats along for the ride.

According to Rasmussen Reports’ latest poll:

Voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on eight out of 10 key electoral issues, including, for the second straight month, the top issue of the economy. They’ve also narrowed the gap on the remaining two issues, the traditionally Democratic strong suits of health care and education.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that voters trust the GOP more on economic issues 46% to 41%, showing little change from the six-point lead the party held last month. This is just the second time in over two years of polling the GOP has held the advantage on economic issues. The parties were close on the issue in May, with the Democrats holding a one-point lead.

We’re surprised to learn that 41% of the American people live in dark caves with no access to the outside world.

John Lennon’s “Imagine” rewritten for “The One”

This parody of John Lennon’s “imagine” song was posted on YouTube right after Barack Obama fooled the majority into voting for him.

This parody of John Lennon’s “imagine” song was posted to YouTube just after Barack Obama had successfully fooled the majority into voting for him. We have a feeling those middle of the road Republicans who supported Obama as a “transformative figure” and “conservative democrat,” now, only eight months later, have come to understand the sentiments expressed in this video.

Obama nuclear arms reduction policy was developed by know-it-all college student

Researchers have come across a magazine article written 26 years ago by Columbia student Barack Obama. Full transcript here. It was the height of the Cold War and Obama came up with a plan for the two super powers to “dial down the danger humanity faces.” In short, nuclear disarmament.

Barack Obama Breaking the War Mentailty, 1983 Columbia Magazine article page 1 of 3

Would you feel safer knowing that your nation’s nuclear policy was dreamed up by a naïve college student? We hope your answer was “yes,” because that’s exactly where you find yourself today.

The President is in Russia to work out a deal on nuclear arms reduction. It’s part of his long time vision of a nuclear-free world – the same vision he’s had since he was smoking dope and getting high in college.

Researchers have come across a magazine article written 26 years ago by Columbia student Barack Obama. It was the height of the Cold War and Obama came up with a plan for the two super powers to “dial down the danger humanity faces.” In short, nuclear disarmament.

One would hope that our leaders would become more sophisticated in their thinking as the years roll on and they gain maturity. But no such luck with Obama.

We don’t mind if the President wants to live in the past as long as it doesn’t interfere with us living in the future.

Following is the entire magazine article, typed out from a poster at the Free Republic:

The Lord Obama giveth and the Lord Obama taketh away

The Obama administration made a big show out of announcing an agreement in which the nation’s hospitals agreed to sacrifice $155 billion (with a “b”) in future Medicare and Medicaid expenses.

The Obama Shell Game™, coming soon to an industry near you
The Obama Shell Game™, coming soon to an industry near you

The Obama administration made a big show out of announcing an agreement in which the nation’s hospitals agreed to sacrifice $155 billion (with a “b”) in future Medicare and Medicaid expenses.

This was supposed to be one of the lynchpins of Obama’s healthcare plan, clear evidence that this bloated fiasco could be paid for with cost cuts rather than tax increases.

Except for one thing: It’s all smoke and mirrors. Here’s how the Associated Press reported it:

Of the $155 billion in projected savings from hospitals, about $40 billion to $50 billion would come from reducing federal payments hospitals receive for providing care to uninsured and low-income patients, according to lobbyists. Those payments are now made through the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The Medicaid cuts would be apportioned by state, as 10 percent annual reductions beginning around 2015.

About $100 billion more would come from reductions in planned Medicare payments to hospitals. A small amount of savings would come from trimming the money hospitals get for preventing patients from being readmitted for additional care.

Hospitals would also get something out of the deal. They won an agreement that if the Finance Committee’s legislation includes a public health insurance plan, it would reimburse hospitals at above the rates Medicare and Medicaid pay, which hospitals have long complained are insufficient.

Got that? The nation’s hospitals have agreed to cut payments from the government in exchange for increased payments from the government.

Everybody sing along: “There’s no business like show business, if you tell me it’s so…”

The truth about Obama’s G8 global warming pact: It’s non-binding, India and China won’t sign it, Russia ignores it

President Obama’s G8 Global Warming Pact is non-binding. Got that? It’s non-binding. So non-binding, in fact, that Russia, which actually signed the treaty, has already said it has no intention of abiding by it.

Attendees at the recent G8 meetings in L'Aquila, Italy dined on polar bear tartare

This week, the global warming circus raised its tent at the G8 meetings in L’Aquila, Italy. According to the media, the world’s wisest leaders have saved the world by signing a new global warming pact.

Luckily, ABC News’ Jake Tapper cut through the crap and revealed a side of the story that’s absent from most reports and buried in others:

“The climate change provision sets a non-binding goal for a 50% reduction in greenhouse gases by 2050, using 1990 levels or later years as a base, with a goal for developed countries of 80%. The document pledges cooperation to limit the rise in global temperatures to no more than 2 degrees Celsius or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit.”

“But achieving this is far more difficult than writing it on a piece of paper as a pledge, particularly with developing nations balking at the goal and complaining that the industrialized world hasn’t followed through with aid and technology to help them reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”

Got that? It’s non-binding. So non-binding, in fact, that Russia, which actually signed the treaty, has already said it has no intention of abiding by it.

Arkady Dvorkovich, the top economic advisor to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said, “For us the 80 per cent figure is unacceptable and likely unattainable. We won’t sacrifice economic growth for the sake of emission reduction.”

He might as well have been speaking for India and China who aren’t G8 members and who have already said, “Thanks, but no thanks. We’re with Russia on this one.”

So on one hand, the solution to global warming was all smoke and mirrors. On the other hand, the leaders of the G8 did manage to have some very nice dinners and treated their bloated staffs to very nice Italian vacations.

Thirty-eight percent (38%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of –8. The President’s Approval Index rating has fallen six points since release of a disappointing jobs report last week.

Thirty-nine percent (39%) now give the President good or excellent marks for handling the economy while 43% say he is doing a poor job. Those are by far his lowest ratings yet on the economy Premium Members can see crosstabs, trends, and Scott Rasmussen’s Daily Briefing.

Sharpton calls for postage stamp honoring accused child molester

Reverend Al showed up at South L.A.’s First A.M.E. Church on Sunday and demanded a U.S. postage stamp honoring Michael Jackson. And while he was on a roll, he demanded a national day of mourning, too.

michael-jackson-postage-stamps

Here’s a mathematical formula that’s as accurate as Pythagorean Theorem: Black person in news + TV cameras = Al Sharpton must be around here somewhere

Which brings us directly to the recently departed accused child molester Michael Jackson.

Reverend Al showed up at South L.A.’s First A.M.E. Church on Sunday and demanded a U.S. postage stamp honoring Michael Jackson. And while he was on a roll, he demanded a national day of mourning, too.

This one will be harder to pull of than Tawana Brawley’s bra, because the U.S. Postal Service says commemorative stamps can’t even be considered until five years after the subject passes on to their greater reward.

There is one exception, but that won’t help the accused child molester. Deceased U.S. Presidents have traditionally been honored with a stamp released on their birthdays following the date of their deaths.

Prior to issuing the Elvis Presley stamp back in the early 90s, the US Postal Service held a nationwide vote to determine if the public wanted the stamp to show the fat Elvis or the skinny Elvis.

They’ll probably hold a similar competition with the Jackson stamp, but it will be far more complex. Do you want the black Michael or the white Michael? Curly hair or straight hair? With chimpanzee or little boy?

Obama lies about where he met his wife. Why?

Barack Obama lied to the graduating class at the New Economic School in Moscow, when he told them he meet Michelle at Hardvard Law. They met at law firm Sidney & Austin.

Barack Obama lied to the graduating class at the New Economic School in Moscow yesterday when he said:

"Pssst, Michelle. If anyone asks, remember to say we met at Harvard."
"Pssst, Michelle. If anyone asks, remember to say we met at Harvard."

“Congratulations to the entire class of 2009. Congratulations to you. I don’t know if anybody else will meet their future wife or husband in class like I did, but I’m sure you’ll all going to have wonderful careers.”

What’s the lie?

He didn’t meet the future Mrs. Obama at Harvard Law School. In fact, they weren’t even at Harvard Law School at the same time. She graduated in 1988, but he didn’t graduated until 1991.

Where did they really meet?

A thousand miles from Harvard. In The Audacity of Hope, Obama’s best-selling memoir, he says, “I met Michelle in the summer of 1988, while we were both working at Sidley & Austin, a large corporate law firm based in Chicago. Although she is three years younger than me, Michelle was already a practicing lawyer, having attended Harvard Law straight out of college. I had just finished my first year at law school and had been hired as a summer associate.”

Why would the President lie about where they met?

Guilt by association. According to Wikipedia.com, “From 1984 to 1988, (unrepentant terrorist Bernadine) Dohrn was employed by the prestigious Chicago law firm Sidley Austin. She was hired by Howard Trienens, the head of the firm at that time, who knew Thomas G. Ayers, the father of Dohrn’s husband. “We often hire friends,” Trienens told a reporter for the Chicago Tribune. However, Dohrn had not been admitted to the New York or Illinois bar. She passed the New York bar exam but had not submitted an application to the New York Supreme Court’s Committee on Character and Fitness. She also passed the Illinois bar, but was turned down by the Illinois ethics committee because of her criminal record.”

Our theory: Obama never thought anyone would connect the dots between unrepentant terrorists Bill Ayers and his equally unrepentant wife Bernadine Dohrn. In fact, it’s likely that he never thought they’d become a campaign issue.

So even though Obama’s memoirs tell the truth about where he met his wife, he now sees a need to re-write history. His own history, that is.

Obama wants to send two Gitmo detainees to Germany, Germany doesn’t want them

Angela Merkel is playing President Obama like a fiddle. Germany has said, “Sure, we’ll take Gitmo detainees, but only if they have some ‘connection’ to Germany.”

So in an effort to get Germany to play along, the Obama administration has come up with almost laughable “connections” for two of the detainees. No, we take that back. They are laughable.

One of the detainees is a Tunisian who applied for asylum in Germany after entering the country illegally in 1996. He lived in Frankfurt and was known to the local police as a drug-dealer and petty criminal. He left Germany for Pakistan in 1999 just as German authorities were ready to give him the boot.

The second detainee is a Syrian who appeared in an al-Qaeda video in 2001 and announced that he was a candidate for “martyrdom.” No one outside the Obama administration can quite figure out what this model citizen’s connection to Germany might be other than the his own statement that he once sought asylum at the German Embassy in the United Arab Emirates.

C’mon, President Obama, you can do better than that. Surely, these guys have eaten at Wienerschnitzel. Or celebrated Octoberfest. Or chugged a Heineken. Or watched Patton. Or spent a wild weekend wearing leather lederhosen.

Hell, any of those would be closer connections to Germany than you guys conjured up.

Even al Jazeera criticizes Obama’s tepid support for Iranian democracy

You know there’s a problem when al Jazeera runs an opinion piece that criticizes President Obama’s weak-kneed support for Iranian democracy.

You know the world has gone insane when al Jazeera shows more support for democracy than the President of the United States does.
You know the world has gone insane when al Jazeera shows more support for democracy than the President of the United States does.

You know there’s a problem when al Jazeera runs an opinion piece that criticizes President Obama’s weak-kneed support for Iranian democracy.

Here are a few of the Arabic news service’s pithier comments:

Zinger #1: “It took two weeks of intensified government repression against protesters in Iran before Barack Obama, the US president, moved from cautious commentary to describing the crackdown as ‘violent and unjust.’”

Zinger #2: “Obama is acutely aware of the real reason why he cannot be too forceful in supporting the millions of Iranians demanding to have their votes counted. The problem is not with US administrations long past, but with the policies of the current administration.”

Zinger #3: “The substance of Obama’s foreign policies in the Middle East and North Africa remain in many key areas strikingly similar to, and are in some cases more aggressive than, those of George Bush, his predecessor.”

Zinger #4: “Does Obama really not understand that Mubarak’s interest is not in peace, but rather in an unending peace process that ensures his continued relevance and billions of dollars in no-strings-attached American aid?”

Zinger #5: “Ultimately, it is the reality of the Obama administration’s support for a discredited status quo across the region, and not the actions of the Eisenhower administration half a century ago, that makes it impossible for the US to play a forceful role advocating for democracy in Iran at this crucial moment in the history of the Islamic Republic, and ours as well.”

Obama uses California as “energy example for the nation.” Wrong!

President Obama called California’s “energy-efficiency policies” an example for the rest of the nation. Not a good example actually.

The President says California has a brilliant energy policy that should be emulated by the rest of the country.
The President says California has a brilliant energy policy that should be emulated by the rest of the country.

President Obama must be a Michael Jackson fan. Because when he talks about California’s energy policy, he’s definitely in Neverland.

Yesterday the President called California’s “energy-efficiency policies” an example for the rest of the nation and noted that “Californians consume 40 percent less energy per person than the national average.”

Harvard’s Edward Glaeser logically points out that California’s temperate climate has far more impact on the state’s low energy consumption than the state’s draconian energy policies.

“January temperature does a terrific job of explaining carbon emissions from home heating and July temperature does almost as well at explaining electricity usage,” Glaeser noted. “California has the most temperate climate in the country and as a result, homes use less heat in the winter and less electricity in the summer. In hot, humid Houston or frigid Minneapolis, people use plenty of energy to artificially recreate what California has naturally.”

According to the President’s illogical spin, California’s lack of power plants is another sign of its success. But in reality, California uses 20% more electricity than it generates and is forced to import power from neighboring states that aren’t crippled by California’s overly-strict environmental regulations.

The President may have been completely wrong about California, but at least he’s consistent. He’s wrong about the other 56 states, too.
