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.

Oh, for God’s sake: Now it’s the Obama paper doll book

obama_paper_doll

The all-Obama, all-the-time train continues to roll down the track.

St. Martin’s Press is publishing an Obama paper doll book. This is what the fawning press release says:

The historic journey of Barack and Michelle Obama to the White House is memorialized in this fun yet fashionable paper doll book featuring the Obamas.

For the millions who can’t get enough of this remarkable first family, here’s a book containing perforated press-out dolls of Barack and Michelle and over 30 mix-and-match coordinated outfits and accessories featuring the Obamas:


· On vacation in Hawaii
· Golfing at Camp David
· On election night
· At the extraordinary inauguration and Inaugural Ball
· Traveling the world on foreign affairs trip

· Rolling up their sleeves for a day of service
· Plus much more!

We’re thinking of doing our own version of the Obama Paper Doll book. It will have twenty mix-and-match outfits featuring the Obamas:

  • bowing to the Saudi king
  • Hugging Hugo Chavez
  • Selling out Israel
  • Apologizing to everyone and his brother
  • Speaking of his brother, it will have him ignoring his brother in the Kenya slum
  • Bathing suit so he can swim in the debt he’s created
  • A full range of colorful burkahs for Michelle
  • Plus much more!

We’ll let you know when it’s available.

OBAMA SUCKS!
(Sorry, I’ve just never been good at rhyming)

Sneak preview of the first car developed by Obama Motors (formerly General Motors)

(Originally published three weeks ago, we felt today would be an appropriate day to rerun it)

It’s sleek. Powerful. And comes with a remarkably fuel efficient ethanol engine. It’s the 2010 Czar Car from Obama Motors.

obama_motorsDesigned by well-known automotive designer Barack Obama, the Czar Car simultaneously protects the environment and the President’s union constituents.

The Czar Car runs on ethanol and gets a million miles per gallon. Once a decade when your gas tank gets low, just pull into the cornfield in your neighborhood and say, “Fill ‘er up.”

The 2010 Czar Car is currently just a prototype, but you’ll soon see if being driven by members of ACORN as they travel around the country performing census duties and counting people who don’t exist in Democratic districts.

Best of all, the Czar Car comes with a lifetime guarantee supplied by the government of the United States of America.

And since it comes from the same people who brought you the Post Office and the Department of Motor Vehicles, we suggest you keep that warranty handy at all times.

What happens when you attempt to tell the president that you’re against gay marriage?

screaming_reporter

There was quite a scene at LAX yesterday. Brenda Lee, a reporter for the Macon, Georgia Informer wanted to give the President a letter urging him “to take a stand for traditional marriage.”

Two officers picked her up and carried her away – kicking and screaming — because they were afraid she’d attempt to give the letter to the president.

The One is not one to be trifled with.

Shocker: Maddow thinks Obama is worse than Bush

It’s too bad no one watches MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow anymore. She just plain went off on President Barack Obama Thursday night. If it weren’t so painful watching Maddow’s tortured delivery, we would say it was a joy to watch.

Believe it or not, she actually finds President Bush’s terrorist detention policy preferable to President Obama’s. In fact, she’s absolutely appalled by Obama’s plan.

“How can a president speak with the kind of poetry that President Obama does about the rule of law and call for the power to indefinitely preventatively imprison people because they might commit crimes in the future? How can those two things co-exist in the same man? Even in the same speech?

She concluded:

“…You could get arrested today and locked up without a trial, without being convicted, without being sentenced for, say, ten years, until the threat of your future criminal behavior passes. Prolonged detention he’s calling it. This was a beautiful speech from President Obama today. Patriotic, moving, even poetic language about the rule of law and the Constitution. And one of the most radical proposals for defying the Constitution that we have ever heard made to the American people.”

Relax, Rachel. This plan is much more likely to be used against Janet Napolitano’s right wing extremists than any actual terrorists. Which means readers of IHateTheMedia.com have a lot more to worry about than Abu Hussein Abu bin-Abu al-Abu does.

President flies to Nevada to tout “100 Days, 100 Projects.” Uhhh…nevermind.

The President flew to Nevada on Wednesday. While he was there, he gave a rousing speech highlighting a new report on his “stimulus” bill entitled “100 Days, 100 Projects.”

It was a fine speech. Some called it poetic. Others called it an empty promise.

Because, unfortunately, not one of those 100 projects happens to be in Nevada.

Oopsie.

Obama thinks the Constitution was written 20 centuries ago. Or the Bible was written two centuries ago. Or something.

“Of the many responsibilities granted to a president by our Constitution, few are more serious or more consequential than selecting a Supreme Court justice. The members of our highest court are granted life tenure, often serving long after the presidents who appointed them. And they are charged with the vital task of applying principles put to paper more than 20 centuries ago to some of the most difficult questions of our time.”

HotAir.com hypothesizes that he was actually referring to the bible instead of the Constitution. Maybe so, because if Bush had said this, the press would have crucified him.

Biden latest blunder: He agrees with Cheney – not Obama – on Gitmo

Joe Biden looking confused when confronted with the fact that he agrees with former Vice President Dick Cheney, not Barack Obama
Joe Biden looking confused when confronted with the fact that he agrees with former Vice President Dick Cheney, not Barack Obama

When President Obama hears about Joe Biden’s latest statement, you can bet the phone lines will burn up between Washington, DC and Kosovo.

That’s where Biden tossed his boss under the bus and this is how the Telegraph UK reported it:

It seems that all a reporter has to do to find out about the pickle Barack Obama’s is really in over his promise to close the Guantanamo Bay prison is to ask the veep…

So will Obama fulfill his vow – announced amid great fanfare in an executive order on day two of his presidency – to close the facility by January 2010? “I think so,” Biden responded, according to Newsweek’s Holly Bailey.

So perhaps he will. Or perhaps not. We’ll see.

Biden continued: “But, look, what the president said is that this is going to be hard. It’s like opening Pandora’s Box. We don’t know what’s inside the box.”

He also said that “to the best of my knowledge” the number of prisoners “who are a real danger who are not able to returned or tried” has “not been established” by the Obama administration.

So he basically just confirmed his predecessor Dick Cheney’s analysis that the decision was taken “with little deliberation, and no plan”.

So Biden says closing Gitmo is like opening Pandora’s box.

That’s either zen-like in its wisdom or just a really bad simile. We vote for the really bad simile.

Thanks, President Obama: Cap-and Trade means a new $4300 per family energy tax

Save your pennies. Cap-and-Trade is coming.
Save your pennies. Cap-and-Trade is coming.

The Democrats’ Cap-and-Trade bill passed out of committee this week on a party line vote.

They passed it despite the fact that Cap-and-Trade has been a corruption-plagued failure in Europe. They passed it despite the fact that logic says you can’t pile billions of dollars of expenses on the economy without increasing costs. They passed it despite all logic and reason.

Heritage.org did an analysis that shows this preposterous program will cost the average American family $4,300 per year.

They predict that the direct impact on household energy bills will average $1500 per year. That includes the increases the increased costs of electricity, natural gas, home heating oil, and gasoline for your car.

“But the direct tax on household energy use is just the beginning,” Heritage reported. “The energy tax also hits producers. As the higher production costs ripple through the economy the household pocketbooks get hit again and again. When all the tax impacts have been added up, the average per-family-of-four costs rise by $4,300 per year.”

Heritge.org continued: “As President Obama warned us on his campaign trail, electricity prices will ‘necessarily skyrocket.’ So will everything else, except for our income and standard of living.”

After President Obama has finished his ‘Round the World Apology Tour 2009, perhaps he can come home and apologize to the American people for this Obamanation abomination.

Obama birth certificate controversy outed in billboard campaign

billboard_birth_certificate650

We’re not big believers in the Barack Obama birth certificate issue. That being said, the controversy refuses to go away.

World Net Daily is erecting outdoor boards across the country “to raise awareness of questions surrounding the constitutional eligibility of Barack Obama to serve as president.”

The message on the boards is simple: “Where’s the birth certificate?”

The first board has already been posted in Louisiana and additional boards are planned in Los Angeles and in Pennsylvania.

“I wish such a campaign were not absolutely necessary,” Farah commented. “I wish there were checks and balances in our political and electoral systems to ensure that constitutional eligibility of presidential candidates was established before politicians could assume the highest office in the land. I wish my colleagues in the news media believed the Constitution really means what it says and pressed this issue as hard as we have pressed it at WND. I wish radio talk-show hosts were bold enough to ask this question. But wishing is not enough. It’s time to raise the visibility of this issue vital to the rule of law in America. I ask everyone to pitch in and help WND make a simple yet profound statement: The Constitution still matters.”

Only one flaw in Farah’s reasoning – it’s becoming more and more obvious that the Constitution really doesn’t matter here in ObamaLand.

Obama creates his own TV network, peeves other TV networks


“Tonight on Obama TV. Women’s basketball like you’ve never seen it before.”

If you thought our Supreme Leader was content owning his own car company, think again. Now he has his own TV network.

ABC’s Jake Tapper reports that after President Obama greeted the UConn Lady Huskies, winners of the NCAA women’s basketball championship, at the White House on April 27, he took the team to the White House basketball court to show off his “mad skills.”

This is where the story went south for the White House Press Corps. Obama didn’t allow the press to view the happenings and they protested their baffling exclusion.

Turns out the White House produced its own professionally-produced TV report on the team’s visit.

“It’s perfectly fine, of course, for the White House to put out its own version of events — but is it right to do so by preventing actual reporters from covering something? (Even something like a pickup basketball game),” Tapper asked on his ABC News blog.

”Do Obama White House officials think their media coverage isn’t flattering enough?” he continued.

“Is the goal to ultimately replace the pesky photographers who film what they want to and not what they’re told to (not to mention the annoying reporters who ask uncomfortable questions about, say, detainee policy and bank bailouts)?”

“Do you want your OTV? (I’ll bet there are a few takers out there.)”

One thing we know for sure: the Fairness Doctrine won’t apply to the Obama Television Network.

Helping the Obama administration practice obfuscation reality enhancement

The Obama administration speaks fluent obfuscation
The Obama administration speaks fluent obfuscation

When President Obama promised “change,” no one knew he wanted to change the names of things that are clearly understood to names that are…well…clearly not understood.

“Global War on Terror” became “overseas contingency operation.” “Terrorism” became “man-caused disaster.” Now the Treasury wants “toxic assets” to be called “legacy assets” name and the CDC wants “swine flu” to be called “H1N1.”

Unfortunately, no one’s buying these names. Not even the biased liberal media. When was the last time you heard Katie Couric report an overseas contingency operation?

Eric Swartz, the San Francisco-based TaglineGuru, wants to help. So he came up with some ideas to help the Obama administration rebrand other policy terms. Some of his suggestions:

Detainees: Custodial informants
Terrorists: Improvised ideologues
Deficit: Long shortfall (or inverted surplus)
One trillion dollars: Nth power financing
Border violence: Territorial imperative
Torture: Non-verbal questioning
Taxes: Income tweaks

We like it. Or as they might say in the Obama administration, it’s favorability enhanced.

Shocking: Obama’s government spending follows same pattern as his personal spending

Conservatives often look at government spending, shake their heads and say, “They wouldn’t spend their own money like that.”

Turns out if you’re Barack Obama, you would. A new financial analysis indicates that he’s always spent far more than he made.

Here’s how The New York Daily News reports it:

In the words of Pink Floyd, "Money, money, money, money...money."
In the words of Pink Floyd, "Money, money, money, money...money."

A close examination of their finances shows that the Obamas were living off lines of credit along with other income for several years until 2005, when Obama’s book royalties came through and Michelle received her 260% pay raise at the University of Chicago. This was also the year Obama started serving in the U.S. Senate…

In April 1999, they purchased a Chicago condo and obtained a mortgage for $159,250. In May 1999, they took out a line of credit for $20,750. Then, in 2002, they refinanced the condo with a $210,000 mortgage, which means they took out about $50,000 in equity. Finally, in 2004, they took out another line of credit for $100,000 on top of the mortgage.

Tax returns for 2004 reveal $14,395 in mortgage deductions. If we assume an effective interest rate of 6%, then they owed about $240,000 on a home they purchased for about $159,250.

This means they spent perhaps $80,000 beyond their income from 1999 to 2004.

We have to admit that this information frightens us. Based on his past experience, we fear the President thinks he can pay off the nation’s skyrocketing debt by writing another best selling autobiography and getting Michelle another dubious, but highly-paid job.

Genius.

President refuses to meet with governor, governor calls him a hypocrite

Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons is not happy with President Obama
Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons is not happy with President Obama

Earlier this year, the President Obama told an Elkhart, Indiana audience, “You can’t get corporate jets. You can’t go take a trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayer’s dime.”

Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons fired back on Tuesday after Obama declined an invitation to meet with Gibbons and the state’s business leaders.

“I am disappointed at the hypocrisy shown by this Administration,” Gibbons said. “President Obama is coming to Las Vegas later this month for a political fundraiser, but he will not help the struggling families in Las Vegas and Nevada who are out of work because of his reckless comments.”

“President Obama is coming to Las Vegas to raise campaign cash for Senator Harry Reid, apparently our money is good enough for the President, but our tourism, jobs, and economic future are not.” Gibbons added, “This is politics, pure and simple, President Obama stood for change, but all he has done is brought negative economic change to Nevada.”


Since Obama’s comments, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority has lost more than 400 conventions and meetings, costing Vegas in excess of $100 million.

We say keep President Obama out of Las Vegas. The way he’s been going, he’d might be tempted to head for the roulette tables and put all the stimulus money on red.

What the hell, his odds of success are probably higher than the way he’s gambling it all away now.

Obama faith-based advisor wants us to move beyond “heteronormative” fatherhood

C'mon, give daddy sugar. It's Non-Heteronormative Father's Day
C'mon, give daddy sugar. It's Non-Heteronormative Father's Day

Harry Knox, a member of President Obama’s Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, says that promoting responsible fatherhood should include moving away from the “heteronormative view of fatherhood.”

Don’t you love words like “heteronormative?”

What it means is that traditional fatherhood is passe. Now gays should be fathers. Lesbians should be fathers. Trans-sexuals should be fathers. Amoebas should be fathers. Lamp posts should be fathers. Everyone and everything should be fathers.

The White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships divvies up the big pot of federal money among religious non-profit and charitable groups.

Don’t forget. Father’s Day is June 21. We’re not sure when Non-Heteronormative Father’s Day is.

FBI investigates former North Carolina governor,
AP takes eight paragraphs to mention he’s a Democrat

Awkward moment between Democrat Governor Mike Easley and Democrat President Barack Obama (See how easy that was, AP?)
Awkward moment between Democrat Governor Mike Easley and Democrat President Barack Obama (See how easy that was, AP?)

Here’s a rule of thumb: If a newspaper story doesn’t mention the party of a politician who’s in trouble, bet your house it’s a Democrat.

AP proved the wisdom of that betting strategy again on Friday when it took eight paragraphs to identify the party of former North Carolina Governor Mike Easley.

Here’s how Associated Press framed the story:

Federal authorities revealed Friday that they are looking into who paid for flights former North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley and his family took on privately owned aircraft while he was in office.

The FBI subpoenaed the state Highway Patrol and a trooper who was the head of the governor’s personal security detail, seeking information about the travel, documents involving payments and any communication the agency had with the Easleys about those private flights.

The subpoenas also ask for public inquiries of the flights and the patrol’s policies on keeping records related to the Easleys’ trips.

Where do they mention the former governor’s party affiliation? Not for five more paragraphs.

Easley, a Democrat, didn’t immediately return a phone call at his law office in Raleigh.

If he’d been a Republican, the headline would have said, “Republican investigated by FBI.” Maybe even “Evil Racist Republican investigated by the FBI.” Possibly even “Evil Racist, Gun-Loving, Misogynist Republican investigated by the FBI. Dems demand immediate resignation.”

Sigh.

What are the odds: Chrysler closes 789 dealerships, but all three networks interview same dealer

Cheer up, Chrysler dealers. Be happy that you survived this 1965 model.
Cheer up, Chrysler dealers. Be happy that you survived this 1965 model.

Jim Anderer is the first guy in the last two years to get more face time than Barack Obama on the network news.

Who is Jim Anderer? He’s owns Island Jeep in Lindenhurst, New York. Island Jeep was one of the 789 dealerships across the nation that Chrysler announced that it was going to eliminate on Thursday.

Yet, with 789 dealerships to choose from ABC, CBS and NBC News all somehow ended up talking to Anderer.

If someone had wanted to buy a car at Island Jeep on Thursday, they couldn’t have. Not the way network TV news crews were mobbing the place.

As NewsBusters said, “…only Anderer, who must have had a busy day in front of film crews from the national and local media, earned the triple play on the broadcast networks. Following a piece from Chris Bury in Chicago, ABC’s World News ran a ‘1st Person’ segment with Anderer railing against Chrysler. The CBS Evening News put two bites from Anderer in a piece narrated from Atlanta by Mark Strassmann and NBC slid a clip of Anderer into a Nightly News story from Lee Cowan in Los Angeles.”

In the old Soviet Union, every store carried the same poor quality products. Not unlike the network news in 2009.

Holder says administration will “do its best” not to release dangerous prisoners from Gitmo

Don't miss the Jihad booth at the Wednesday night Farmer's Market in Fairfax County.

The President’s going to do his best to make sure dangerous terrorists aren’t released in the United States.

Of course, this is the same guy whose best choice for Vice President was Joe Biden and whose best choice for Treasury Secretary was Timothy Geithner and whose best choice for Health & Human Services Secretary was Tom Daschle and whose best choice of a gift for Queen Elizabeth was an iPod.

CNSNews.com reports:

Attorney General Eric Holder told the House Judiciary Committee that his department will “do its best” to make sure that Guantanamo Bay detainees who pose a threat to the United States are kept imprisoned after President Barack Obama’s order to close down Gitmo is carried out.

The story continues:

Suspected al-Qaeda terrorists aren’t the only ones being detained at Gitmo. Holder was asked about 17 Chinese Muslim detainees at Guantanamo known as Uighurs (WEE-gurs).

“In terms of release [of Uighurs], we don’t have a choice, they have to be released,” said Holder during the testimony. “Unless (you’re asking) us to defy an order from the United States court.”

The Uighurs were cleared of suspected terrorism, but have been held at Gitmo because they cannot be returned to China.

Obama’s current plan is to release the Uighurs in Fairfax County, Virginia. But rest assured that the administration will do its best to keep them from slaughtering too many innocent Americans.

Headline of the Day
“Obama admits current spending is unsustainable”

“We can’t keep on just borrowing from China,” Obama said at a town-hall meeting in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, outside Albuquerque. “We have to pay interest on that debt, and that means we are mortgaging our children’s future with more and more debt.”

Oddly enough, it sounds as if he’s not aware that he’s the one doing all the spending.

The Wanda Sykes’ Obama Roast:
the way it should have been

But host Wanda Sykes could not hide her liberal leanings and after a few polite Obama jokes, tore into the Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and others on the Obama Enemy List instead. This video shows us what the “roast” would have been like in an alternate universe, one where the media treats all sides fairly.

Obamanomics: Elevating the circle jerk to an art form

obamanomics, copyright IHateTheMedia.com

Bad news for American workers and taxpayers. That auto bailout isn’t quite working the way they hoped it would.

According to a leaked document, GM plans to sell Chinese-manufactured cars to American consumers as soon as 2011.

Here’s how Fox News reports it:

General Motors is currently the best-selling foreign automaker in China, and Buick is number one brand overall, part of the reason that the nameplate was saved during a recent round of cuts that included the elimination of Pontiac. As an example of the growing influence of that marketplace on the company, the interior of the upcoming replacement for the Buick LaCrosse sedan was designed at a GM studio in Shanghai.

According to the report, GM plans to sell nearly 18,000 Chinese-made vehicles in the US in 2011, with that number rising to over 50,000 by 2014.

The chart above shows exactly what a circle jerk this is.

China buys US government debt. The US government uses that money to bailout General Motors. General Motors manufactures cars in China which it then sells in the United States. Americans buy those cars which gives GM the money to pay back the government which then pays back China.

The end result: The Chinese get the jobs. The Chinese get the money. And the only thing Americans get is the shaft.
