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.
We don't know if Piper Palin is violating any health codes, but she's definitely obeying the law of supply and demand Up in the wilds of Juneau, Alaska Sarah Palin’s eight year old daughter Piper has struck a blow against President Obama’s socialist agenda.
Since mom Sarah Palin has risen to national prominence, tour companies have begun running busses through the neighborhood where the governor’s mansion is located. Carloads of tourists are flooding the neighborhood, too.
Noticing the increased traffic through her neighborhood, the entrepreneurial eight year old set up a lemonade stand in front of the mansion and has begun selling the tart treat to tourists. The budding entrepreneur seems to understand capitalism and how the free market works than the entire Obama administration.
Piper Palin better watch out.
Next thing you know, the FDA will swoop in and tell her she’s violating health standards. The IRS will want to see her sales records. Tim Geithner will force her to take TARP funds. And President Obama will force her out of the lemonade stand she founded and turn it over to his allies in the United Lemonworkers Union.
"Good work, mi amigo. How about if I take over the healthcare industry next and you take over the media."
Please allow us to talk out loud while we try to make sense of this:
When Hugo Chavez nationalized the oil companies in Venezuela and said he was doing it for the good of the country, that’s bad. But when Barack Obama nationalized the car companies in the United States and said it was for the good of the country, that’s good.
Here’s how CNSNews.com reports events in Venezuela:
The BBC recently carried this headline: ‘Chavez seizes oil service firms.’ The article describes how the president of Venezuela “sent troops to take over companies that provide services for the oil industry.” This is the kind of stuff which used to make headlines, back in the days when it was rare for central governments to take control of private companies. But, these days it passes almost without comment. Chavez didn’t try to couch the takeover in terms of TARPs or Stimulus Packages or Stress Tests. Chavez said, “This is a revolutionary offensive.”
Oh, just imagine the laughs these two amigos will share the next time they get together.
Are we the only ones who find it odd that all members of the U.N. Human Rights Council run unopposed?
Why that Barack Obama guy is unstoppable. First he gets elected President of the United States, then he gets the United States elected to the most corrupt organization within the remarkably corrupt United Nations.
You’ll be proud to know that the United States now sits on the U.N. Human Rights Council. Right alongside such notable human rights advocates as Cuba, China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia.
We’ve boycotted the commission in the past because it served primarily as a venue to bash Israel.
Here’s how Associated Press reported this milestone achievement for President Obama:
Former President George W. Bush’s administration boycotted the council over its repeated criticism of Israel and its refusal to cite flagrant rights abuses in Sudan and elsewhere.
But the U.S. announced in late March that it would seek to join the council to help make it more effective, reflecting President Barack Obama’s desire to create a “new era of engagement” with the international community.
Even though the U.S. did not face competition in its regional group for a seat on the 47-member council, it needed to get at least 97 votes — a majority of the 192 U.N. member states — in a secret ballot. It did far better, winning 167 votes.
“We received 90 percent of the valid votes cast,” U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice pointed out after the vote. “And we’re gratified by the strong showing of encouragement for the United States to again play a meaningful leadership role in multilateral organizations including the United Nations on the very vitally important set of issues relating to human rights and democracy.”
Let’s review: We ran for this obscene council unopposed and got 90% of the vote.
On one hand, the 90% figure is so high that it sounds suspiciously like the election results announced in a country like North Korea or Cuba. On the other hand, we ran unopposed and still couldn’t get one out of ten countries to vote for us.
Don't ask retired Marine Gen. James Jones about "Don't ask, don't tell."
The guy who got elected President by convincing people he was a new kind of politician continues to demonstrate that he’s anything but.
Now he may be going back on his promise to eliminate the “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.
Here’s how CNSNews.com reports it:
“President Barack Obama’s national security advisor, retired Marine Gen. James Jones, said over the weekend that he ‘doesn’t know’ if the Obama administration is going to try to overturn the ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ policy that says homosexuality is incompatible with military service.”
George Stephanopoulos, host of This Week, asked if “Don’t ask, don’t tell” would be overturned.
“I don’t know,” Jones hemmed and hawed. “We’ll have to — the president has said that he is in favor of that. We’ll just wait — we’ll have to wait and see — as a result of the deliberations and as a result of the – in the months and weeks ahead. We have a lot on our plate right now. It has to be teed up at the right time so – to do this the right way.”
Translation: Maybe…maybe not…it’s complicated…don’t try to pin me down…Obama may…Obama may not…let’s talk about Iraq.
MSNBC host Ed Schultz preparing for another informative show
We sincerely apologize for any unpleasant images that headline may have brought to mind, but it seemed appropriate.
Within the course of one hour on Monday night, MSNBC’s Ed Schultz condemned David Feherty for joking about the death of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, then turned around and praised Wanda Sykes’ for joking about the death of Rush Limbaugh.
“My thoughts on the White House correspondents dinner,” Ed said at the top of his show, “the best jokes and why I’m so glad Wanda Sykes took it to Rush Limbaugh.”
Ed rolled tape that showed Sykes’ comments. Well, most of Sykes’ comments. “Limbaugh said he hopes this administration fails. So you said, I hope America fails. I think Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker but he was just so strung out on Oxycontin he missed his flight.
Ed conveniently edited out these offensive words: “Rush Limbaugh. ‘I hope the country fails.’ I hope his kidneys fail. How about that.”
A few minutes later, Schultz featured Feherty’s joke about killing Reid and Pelosi. He condemned Feherty and called the joke “insanity” and “sick.”
Our best guess is that Ed knows he can say any damn thing he wants, no matter how stupid or hypocritical, because he knows virtually no one is watching his show. If a tree falls in the forest and no one’s there to hear it, does it make a noise?
This is an absolutely true, personal story from the editor of IHateTheMedia.com:
I (a pronoun rarely used at IHTM) had to make a court appearance on November 6, 2008, the day after the presidential election. A group of about twenty other defendants and witnesses gathered on the benches in the courthouse hallway. One of them, a young black man, was giddy with excitement.
“I’ve never voted in my life until yesterday,” he said. “I’m not a Democrat. I’m not a Republican. I’m nothing. But I voted for Barack Obama yesterday because Obama’s going to take care of all the brothers.”
He gleefully related this story over and over to anyone who made the mistake of sitting next to him. Or even near him.
The doors finally swung open and the baliff ushered us all in and showed us to seats in the back of the courtroom.
The first case called was that of the happy young black man. The smile disappeared off his face as he approached the judge, who peered menacingly over his glasses. “You have quite a record here, son,” he said. “Possession of drugs. Drug dealing. Armed robbery. Assault. Breaking and entering.”
The young black man began fidgeting.
“But today’s your lucky day,” the judge said. “The district attorney’s office screwed up and all the charges have been dismissed.”
The young man let out an excited hoot, spun around with a huge smile on his face, looked at all of us and said, “See, I told you. Obama’s already working for the brothers.”
We all roared with laughter. Even the stern judge.
Apparently not all Obama backers are so lucky. Someone sent us this collection of mug shots that all feature one thing in common.
Are the photos funny? We plead guilty and throw ourselves on the mercy of the court.
(Note: we tried to balance this story with some McCain voters’ mug shots, but couldn’t find any. None. Turns out SmokingGun.com has been searching for them, too, but the best they’ve been able to find is one anti-Obama shirt.)
Where to find your nearest ACORN illegal alien voter registration drive. (Click for larger)
First the Democrats refuse to do anything to stop illegal aliens from flooding across the border. Now President Obama wants to kill a program that helps reimburse the states for jailing illegal aliens.
Don’t get us wrong. The funds were only to be used for jailing them for committing crimes other than crossing the border illegally.
The State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAPP) provides states with assistance to offset the costs of jailing illegal immigrants.
When he was in the senate, President Obama voted to give extra funding to SCAPP. Yet now Obama has decided to eliminate the same program he once voted for.
Obama says that killing SCAPP will save $400 million per year. In reality, it only transfers that burden to the states.
Obama may run into opposition in his own party on this one. Powerful California Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein strongly backs SCAPP. She is supported by elected officials from other states with illegal aliens problems.
Obama expects to overcome this minor inconvenience as soon as ACORN can register the 12 million illegal aliens currently living in the United States.
Irony is running rampant these days. Turns out unfunny comedienne Wanda Sykes, who insulted Rush Limbaugh at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, appeared in a recent “public service” commercial where she lectures teenage boys about how they shouldn’t use insulting language. She tells them to “Knock it off.”
After her humorless appearance at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, maybe the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network should find itself a new role model who’s not so, well, insulting.
“Christopher Hitchens…had some choice words for the evening’s headlining comedian, Wanda Sykes. ‘The president should be squirming in his seat. Not smiling,’ he said. ‘The black dyke got it wrong. No one told her the rules.'”
Yow. Even IHateTheMedia.com wouldn’t say something like that. Don’t get us wrong — we’d quote it, but we wouldn’t say it.
Debra Burlingame found out words and actions are two completely different things in the Obama administration. “We’d been had.”
That’s how Debra Burlingame sums up her meeting with the President. She was part of a group of USS Cole and 9/11 victims’ families who went to the White House to discuss Obama’s Guantanamo detainee policies.
“News reports described the meeting as a touching and powerful coming together of the president and these long-suffering families,” Burlingame wrote in the Wall Street Journal. Obama reassured them that jihadists wouldn’t be freed.
But 17 days later, the al Qaeda operative selected by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed for a post-9/11 attack with Jose Padilla was released.
The White House liaison to the families refused to answer questions.
“Given all the developments since our meeting with the president,” Burlingame said, “it is now evident that his words to us bore no relation to his intended actions on national security policy and detainee issues. But the narrative about Mr. Obama’s successful meeting with 9/11 and Cole families has been written, and the press has moved on.”
She concludes with this devastating summation, “The Obama team has established a pattern that should be plain for all to see. When controversy erupts or legitimate policy differences are presented by well-meaning people, send out the celebrity president to flatter and charm.”
Narrow-minded critics might say Obama promised Burlingame one thing, then did the opposite.
But the President prefers to say he gave her hope, then gave her change.
Our enemies seem to love President Obama’s “engagement” efforts. That can’t be a good sign.
Here’s how CNSNews.com reports it:
At a joint press conference with Syrian President Bashar Assad last Tuesday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad boasted that “those who one day called Iran and Syria part of the axis of evil now want to develop relations with Iran and Syria.”
“Circumstances are changing rapidly in our favor,” Arab media quoted him as saying. “We are on the road to victory.”
President Obama better start some of that smilin’, fist pumpin’ diplomacy in Iran. After all, it worked so well in Venezuela.
Harry Reid is apparently pissed off that people think Joe Biden is the stupidest man in Washington, DC. He wants to win the title back. So he fired off this gem.
What does this mean, Harry? They will not have paid their taxes? They employed illegal aliens. They are illegal aliens?
Hollywood hates conservatives. The press hates conservatives. And the worst conservative on earth is Rush Limbaugh. And President Obama loves all that. Put all these ingredients together and what do you get? Comedian and actress Wanda Sykes at the the White House Press Corps dinner last night saying she hope Rush Limbaugh’s kidneys fail, to the delight and laughter of our free press, and of course, our tolerant and very sensitive president.
Oh we know, she was just kidding. The press crops were just a little tipsy. And the president was just politely smiling along with the joke. Can’t we conservatives just lighten up?
Charlie Rangel and Barack Obama. Two of the three taxing amigos.
This story hits the trifecta. It has liberal hypocrisy, media bias and remarkable stupidity all rolled into one.
The liberal hypocrisy? After being introduced by tax cheat Timothy Geithner, President Obama heaped praise on Harlem congressman Charlie Rangel for helping him close overseas corporate tax loopholes.
The remarkable stupidity? Rangel is being investigated for his own overseas tax scam.
The media bias? Have you seen it on the evening news?
Here’s how the New York Post editorialized about it:
Rangel, of course, knows a thing or two about offshore tax shelters: He’d been operating one for years.
The congressman had to fork over nearly $11,000 in back taxes last year after The Post reported that he failed to disclose more than $75,000 in rental income on his Dominican Republic villa.
Plus, he’s under investigation by a House committee for allegedly helping a company preserve its offshore tax loophole — in exchange for a million-dollar gift to a school named in his honor.
Though perhaps that’s not exactly what Obama meant when he gushed that the problems with tax havens “have been highlighted” by Rangel, among others.
This is perfect. We have tax vampire Barack Obama proposing the legislation, tax cheat Charlie Rangel writing the legislation, tax cheat Timothy Geithner enforcing the legislation.
At first we thought it meant he was going to double the tax on law enforcement. We had to read the article to find out it actually meant “he wants to double the budget for the enforcement of tax laws.”
He’s raising taxes on everyone else, so our first interpretation seemed reasonable.
"Hey, Rahm, now that our attorneys are done threatening Wall Street, tell them to threaten that Rasmussen guy next."
What’s that? These polls come from the impartial, highly-respected Rasmussen Reports polling organization? Impossible. They must be right wing extremists, too.
Generic Ballot: Republicans 40% Democrats 39%
Only 18% Say UAW, Government Will Do Good Job Running GM, Chrysler
42% Say Obama’s Supreme Court Pick Will Be Too Liberal, 41% Say About Right
75% Oppose Release of Guantanamo Inmates in the United States
The trend is not the President's friend according to Rasmussen Reports' latest poll.Two separate polls conducted by Rasmussen Reports seem to indicate trouble for President Obama.
The first poll says, “The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 33% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-two percent (32%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of +1.”
The second poll says, “The number of people who consider themselves Republicans declined slightly in April while the number of Democrats held steady.”
A margin of +1 is the lowest approval margin Obama’s had in his 100+ days. That, in itself, is bad enough. But it gets worse.
If the percentage of Americans identifying themselves as Democrats is up, yet Obama’s approval margin is down, that’s a bad combination for the President.
We see a simple way for President Obama to reverse this trend. Now that the government already owns Chrysler and General Motors, all the President needs to do is nationalize Foster Farms. Then he can deliver on Herbert Hoover’s promise of “A chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.”
And it can all be done at the expense of the dozen people who still pay taxes.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sk1FoPJc0IWe’re living in historic times and there was another historic first for the Obama administration yesterday: an admitted tax cheat introduced a tax reform program.
Yes, the Obama administration announced a plan to reduce tax evasion by companies with overseas operations. And the plan was introduced by none other than Treasury Secretary “Turbo Tax” Timothy Geithner.
Media bias being what it is, we didn’t notice any of the mainstream media outlets actually reporting it this way. But the irony is so rich that you really have to wonder how they could have ignored it.
Here’s how Geithner introduced his Fearless Leader:
Mr. President, when you took office, you promised to reform our tax code so that it would be more simple and more fair for hard-working Americans. And you promised to ensure that our tax dollars would be used to strengthen the American economy, and American competitiveness. Today, we are taking another important step towards those goals by ending indefensible tax-breaks and loopholes which allow some companies and some well-off citizens to evade the rules that the rest of America lives by. We believe in a level playing field…the Internal Revenue Service, under the strong and able leadership of Commissioner Doug Schulman, are making an unprecedented effort to upgrade and strengthen enforcement capacity. The President’s budget will add up to 800 full-time IRS employees devoted to detecting and bringing to justice those who unlawfully hide assets and income.
Hypocrisy, thy name is Geithner.
Why pick on companies with overseas operations? Hell, Obama could probably balance this bloated pig of a budget if he merely got all the Democrats to pay their back taxes.
Just to prove he’s a man of the people, President Obama took Joe Biden to a burger joint called Ray’s Hell Burgers yesterday. Unfortunately, the President wasn’t quite up to the task of acting ordinary.
Obama seemed lost. Didn’t know what to order. Didn’t know how to order. He did his best shuck and jive with the kid behind the counter, but was lost when it came to ordering.
Joe Biden, the Cheap Veep, quickly realized the lunch was a freebie, so he jumped right in front of Obama and ordered. “Swiss cheese burger, jalapeno peppers. Will you put ketchup on it or do we do that ourselves? And a root beer.”
When Obama finally ordered, he looked like he should have taken his teleprompter to lunch instead of Biden. “Alright…(PAUSE)…I’m gonna have a basic cheddar cheese burger…(PAUSE)…medium well…(PAUSE)…uh…(PAUSE)…I just want mustard. No ketchup…(PAUSE)…You got a spicy mustard or something like that? A Dijon mustard or something like that?”
Who the hell goes into a place called Ray’s Hell Burgers in a limousine and asks for Dijon mustard? It was very reminiscent of the intentionally elitist Grey Poupon commercials.
And guess what. When MSNBC and CNN showed tape of the President’s day at Ray’s Hell Burgers, they both snipped out the Dijon question. After all, neither network could allow the President’s elitist reality to conflict with his man-of-the-people image.
Here’s CNN’s version of the Elitist’s trip to Ray’s Hell Burgers. Hold the Dijon.
“Obama seems terribly uncomfortable hanging out with the little people. Maybe he should have invited his teleprompter instead of Joe Biden.
Damn, we feel a little guilty making fun of Tony Bennett. We want to forgive the guy for these stupid comments based on the fact that he’s 82 and possibly senile. But he’s never shown any evidence of senility until this video clip. So what the hell – he’s fair game.
Let’s just make this short and sweet. He wants you to support President Obama in anything he wants to do. Period.
President Obama wants to destroy capitalism? Tony Bennett’s behind him all the way.
President Obama wants to take over the banks? Tony Bennett says, “Right on.”
President Obama wants the government to warranty your new car? Tony Bennett says, “Gobama!”
President Obama wants to make Michelle Queen of New Jersey? Tony Bennett says, “When do I curtsy?”
Kent Brockman, apparent role model for most of the empty-headed reporters in America.
Oh, how we wish reporters would just do their jobs and report actual news. We’d much rather blog about surfing or Miss California or something more fun than the mendacious misadventures of Barney Frank.
Why do Americans have to go to other countries to find any serious reporting about the Obama administration?
In this case, it’s an obscure paper in Nova Scotia, Canada that had the gumption to print the 12 thought-provoking points below. Points ignored by the U.S. lamestream media amidst the fawning over Obama’s First 100 Days.
So while CNN blathers on about the First Family’s Portugese Waterdog and the Puffington Host analyzes The One’s table manners, we herewith reprint this “news on the most powerful man on Earth which has been deemed unfit to print” as found in Andrew Smith’s column “The Things You Don’t Read About Barack Obama.
Obama’s first two major bills alone, the “stimulus” and “omnibus,” cost nearly twice as much as was spent on Iraq over six years – $1.2 trillion vs. $650 billion.
Obama abandoned his campaign promise of “a net spending cut,” his first annual deficit – not counting bailouts – being three times the worst deficit under President George W. Bush.
Obama’s objective in his first G20 summit – commitments to spend our way to prosperity with massive stimulus boondoggles across the G20 – was rejected out of hand.
Obama’s objective in his first NATO summit – commitments to combat troops for Afghanistan from “our European allies,” which Obama and his party imagined were ready and willing to fight if only someone “enlightened” like him were running things – was predictably refused, with some more European non-combat contingents offered as a token.
Obama’s Defense Department announced cuts of $1.4 billion to missile defense, the day after North Korea test-fired its long-range, multi-stage ballistic missile.
Obama’s economics were criticized by Warren Buffet, whose endorsement had been candidate Obama’s highest economic credential.
Obama reversed the free trade Bush policy that had allowed about 100 Mexican tractor-trailers into the United States, which the Mexican government immediately used as an excuse to levy tariffs on 90 American goods amounting to $2.4 billion in U.S. exports.
Obama’s “tax cuts for 95 per cent” turned out to mean $13 a week from June to December, to be clawed back to $8 a week in January – as compared with President Bush’s 2008 tax rebates of $600 to $1,200 plus $300 per child, which were notably scoffed at during the election campaign by Michelle Obama.
Obama’s campaign promise of a $3,000-per-employee tax credit for businesses that hired new workers – repeated ad nauseam for weeks before the election – was discreetly retired even before inauguration day.
Obama abandoned his campaign promise that “lobbyists won’t work in my White House,” waiving his no-lobbyist executive order or conveniently re-defining his appointees’ past lobbying work to allow 30 lobbyists into his administration.
Obama abandoned his campaign promise to reform earmarks, signing the omnibus bill which contained 8,816 of them.
Obama took more money from AIG than any other politician in 2008 – over $100,000 – and signed into law the provision guaranteeing the AIG bonuses which later had him in front of the cameras “shaking with outrage” and siccing the pitchfork crowd on law-abiding citizens who had fulfilled their end of a contract and had their payment upheld by Obama’s own legislation.
The Chronicle Herald concludes with this thought: “The people need a Fourth Estate, not yet another adulator of Barack Obama, yet another smearer of Sarah Palin, yet another patrician editor to keep out anything disagreeable to progressive sensibilities, yet another laptop-and-latte journalism-schooler to spit on everything pre-dating 1968. And they wonder why the news business has come on hard times.”
You heard the man, all you ink-stained wretches. Inquiring minds want to know what the President’s really up to. Because what he says is not matching up with what he’s actually doing.
