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.

Kenya’s Muslims and Christians battling for the soul of Barack Obama’s grandmother

Seventh Day Adventist terrorists are causing trouble for President Obama's grandmother in Kenya.
Seventh Day Adventist terrorists are causing trouble for President Obama's grandmother in Kenya.

Oh, my! We have a battle going in Kenya. Muslims claim Christians are trying to convert Sarah Obama, who just happens to be the president’s grannie.

Mrs Obama, who’s been basking in her grandson’s aura since he became the most powerful man in the world, was recently stopped from going to a Seventh Day Adventist Church by local Muslims who feared she might convert to Christianity.

Not to worry, say the Seventh Day Adventists. They say she had merely been invited to attend one of their events.

“We had invited her to grace our meeting in Kisumu which was to mark the end of a three-week convention, but although she had prepared, she did not attend,” said Lewis Ondiek, a senior church figure.

Hey, Reverend Wright. Get your butt on a plane bound for Kenya. You may have lost one Obama, but it looks like there’s another one ripe for conversion.

If government officials are prosecuted for approving torture, let’s include Congress

If waterboarding won't break Pelosi, threaten to withhold her Botox.
If waterboarding won't break Pelosi, threaten to withhold her Botox.
President Obama says he’s open to prosecuting Bush officials for their anti-terror legal advice. This comes only two days after Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said no prosecutions were being considered because this is not the time for “anger and retribution”.

So much for “looking forward”.

Well, if government officials are to be prosecuted for approving “torture,” shouldn’t we include Congress? After all, Congress was fully briefed and approved of the “enhanced” interrogation tactics used by the CIA. But then, that would mean Congress would have to investigate and prosecute itself. You know, kind of like Barney Frank fixing the financial mess he helped create.

The Wall Street Journal notes in its “Presidential Poison” editorial that Bush officials won’t (or shouldn’t) be the only ones on the hot seat if this goes forward: “Congress will face questions about what the Members knew and when, especially Nancy Pelosi when she was on the House Intelligence Committee in 2002.

The Speaker now says she remembers hearing about waterboarding, though not that it would actually be used. Porter Goss, her GOP counterpart at the time, says he knew exactly what he was hearing and that, if anything, Ms. Pelosi worried the CIA wasn’t doing enough to stop another attack. By all means, put her under oath.

Here’s an idea that might help jog Pelosi’s memory as to what she actually heard and approved:

Waterboard ‘er.

Can we bankrupt the country? Yes, we can!

Obamanomics 101: Even if every citizen paid the government every cent of income, we still couldn’t cover the projected deficit for one year. But don’t worry, only the rich are paying taxes.
Obamanomics 101: Even if every citizen paid the government every cent of income, we still couldn’t cover the projected deficit for one year. But don’t worry, only the rich are paying taxes.
Forbes.com points out that even “if the government increased the top tax rate from the current rate of 35% to 100% (yes, that’s right 100%), it would only collect an extra $400 billion this year. In other words, confiscating all the income that is currently taxed at 35% would not raise enough revenue to cover any of the annual deficits projected in the next 10 years.”

If this is hope, where’s the change? Why bother trying to save any money at all? The Feds are printing new money faster than all of us together can earn it. (Though not as fast as Congress can spend it.)

We say, enjoy it now. Do what the politicians do and blow it on your own special interests. Buy a boat. Name a building after yourself. Rack up your credit cards like there’s no tomorrow. Then vote yourself a raise.

Obama to cut staggering deficit by purchasing office supplies in bulk

The Obama administration is about to begin saving money in a big, big way.
The Obama administration is about to begin saving money in a big, big way.

Good news. President Obama’s soaring, staggering, stunning deficit will soon be a mere pittance.

All because the President has announced that the Department of Homeland Security will soon begin buying office supplies in bulk.

In an effort to hurry along the process, we stopped by our local CostCo yesterday and signed up the President. So in addition to office supplies, every government agency will soon buy everything in bulk. Aircraft carriers by the dozens, dark blue FBI suits by the rackful, teleprompters by the truckload.

We have one other genius idea:

Costco gives away free food samples every day at lunch. Today we had their vegetarian lasagna, beef jerky, crab on cracker, and apple juice. They were all delicious.

Instead of giving people food stamps, give them CostCo membership cards. Then instruct them to head for CostCo at lunchtime to gorge themselves on free samples.

The savings will dwarf whatever Janet Napolitano saves on office supplies.

Congressional Black Caucus to be renamed Congressional Black Circus

Unidentified member of the Congressional Black Circus on his way to the U.N. Racism Conference
The President of the United States is a former member of the Congressional Black Caucus. Yet he has remained strangely slient regarding the group’s recent efforts to become the biggest circus this side of Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey.

First, the group made a high-profile visit to Cuba last month. Members of the Caucus embarrassed themselves by acting aged dictator Fidel Castro’s rock ‘n roll groupies.

Now they’ve taken Obama to task for doing something right — boycotting the UN racism conference, the follow-up to a 2001 confab that defined Zionism as racism. The conference was also boycotted by Israel, Canada, Italy, Sweden, the Netherlands and Australia.

The Telegraph UK describes it this way: “Only the United Nations could hold an ‘anti-racism’ conference that is actually a celebration of anti-Semitism featuring genocidal maniacs like Iranian president and holocaust denier Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. World leaders are already gathering for the Durban Review Conference in Geneva to be held from April 20-24, one of the biggest hate fests on the planet, wasting millions of dollars.”

Members of the Congressional Black Circus attended the hatefest on their own. But we suspect the American taxpayers will somehow end up footing the bill.

It’s called “World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance.”

Hey, at least they left out “Tea Parties.”

Robert Gibbs talks nonsense, reporters don’t like it

Press secretary Robert Gibbs tried to tap dance around a question yesterday, but in a major surprise, the press didn’t let him get away with it.

AP reporter Jennifer Loven and ABC’s Jake Tapper pressed Gibbs to explain why President Obama bragged about saving $100 million in his proposed budget when he had downplayed $8 billion in earmark spending several weeks ago.

It wasn’t pretty. Gibbs eventually adopted the strategy of talking and talking and talking until everyone forgot what the question was.

Obama and Chavez are now bros

hugo_chavez2 Just last month in Doha, Venezuelan President and Fidel Castro wannabe Hugo Chavez called the U.S. “the great guilty one, the great Satan.”

Chavez also called President Obama “ignorant.” Now Obama has proven Chavez’ point, smiling and giving Chavez the “bro” handshake.

Dude, where’s my country?

Joe the Plumber lays pipe on Bill Maher

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EACX65yggPQ

Six months ago Joe the Plumber was just Joe the plumber. Then Barack Obama knocked on his door, quickly followed by opportunity knocking on his door.

Love Joe or hate Joe, you have to give the guy credit. He walked into the lion’s den (otherwise known as Bill Maher’s show on HBO) and held his own.

Maher, of course, does everything he can to make Joe look like a bonehead, but Joe gave as good as he got. Not bad for a guy who was unclogging drains not too long ago.

First Family on welfare: Obamas were paid $201,913 for not working in 2008

200 grand for not working. Where do we sign up?
200 grand for not working. Where do we sign up?

No president has ever understood the welfare system better than Barack Obama. Because somehow, our new President and his missus managed to bring home $201,913 for jobs they didn’t perform.

Lest we be accused of being inaccurate, let’s admit that President Obama did spend about 12 minutes doing the actual work of a United Sates Senator in 2008. He showed up to cast a vote or two when he was campaigning somewhere near Washington, DC. For that Herculean effort, he was paid $139,204.

But Michelle, well, that’s a different story. She took home $62,709 from the University of Chicago Hospitals. To repeat, she didn’t work a lick, but still took home $62,709. That’s not bad work if you can get it.

In fact, after she resigned her position, her job was eliminated. I’m sure Michelle would say it was eliminated because she couldn’t be replaced. But it’s much more likely that the job was eliminated because it wasn’t a real job in the first place.

So on one hand, these two got paid for work they didn’t do. And on the other hand, they see nothing wrong with increasing your taxes for the work you did do.

It all starts to make sense now.

Militant Islamic spokesman says, “Sharia doesn’t permit us to lay down arms.” We ask, will American Muslims be only ones allowed to carry guns someday?

Another story the media just conveniently overlooks in its efforts to be politically correct:

Those darn moderate Taliban factions with whom President Obama wants to negotiate are already causing problems in Pakistan.

Here’s how the ANI news agency reports the story:

Pakistani’s Taliban will not lay down heir arms in a northwestern valley as part of a deal that included the introduction of Sharia law but will take their struggle’ to new areas, a militant spokesman said today.

“Sharia doesn’t permit us to lay down arms,” Muslim Khan said by telephone. “If a government, either in Pakistan or Afghanistan, continues anti-Muslim policies, it’s out of the question that Taliban lay down their arms.”

Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardari, under pressure from conservatives, signed a regulation on Monday imposing sharia law in the Swat valley to end Taliban violence.

The strategy of appeasement has alarmed US officials, while critics say the government has demonstrated a lack of capacity nd will to fight the Taliban and al Qaeda.

According to Dawn, details of the deal have not been made public but government officials backing the pact have said part of it as that militants would give up their arms.

But a Pakistani Taliban spokesman in the scenic valley, a one-time tourist destination 125 km northwest of Islamabad, said they would be keeping their guns.

He said “When we achieve our goal at one place, there are other areas where we need to struggle for it.”

Based on this, we can foresee the day when American Muslims can have guns for religious reasons, but other Americans can’t have them for legal reasons.

That, of course, will allow the IslamoFascists to help Homeland Security hunt down rightwing extremists.

To: Janeane Garofalo
From: An outraged conservative
Re: Republican racists
Date: April 17, 2009

Earlier today we published the story Angry activist, actress Janeane Garofalo announces that you’re a racist where she told Keith Olbermann that tax protesters are nothing but a bunch of racist white power wackos.

Well, Janeane, here’s one of those racist Republicans at a Tea Party in Santa Ana, California, right in the heart of whitebread Orange County.

Oh, wait. That woman appears to be black. A black woman had the nerve to tweak Barack Obama’s America-bashing overseas statements on one side of her sign, then tweak Michelle Obama’s ’08 campaign comment on the other (“For the first time in my adult life I’m proud of my country”).

Being in Orange County, she probably isn’t authentically black. But take our word for it, she is authentically outraged.

Update: For some reason our Digg It button not working in this article. You can Digg it here. That is, if you want to send Garofalo the memo.

Leading Democrat objects to Obama administration’s “right wing extremist” report

Barack Obama and Janet Napolitano think this is the Tomb of the Unknown Terrorist.
Barack Obama and Janet Napolitano think this is the Tomb of the Unknown Terrorist.

Janet Napolitano finds herself this morning standing in a big pile of something that smells very bad.

Even a leading House Democrat wants to know why the Secretary of Homeland Security chose to issue a report that targets veterans as potential terrorists.

Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said he was “dumbfounded” by the report.

“This report appears to raise significant issues involving the privacy and civil liberties of many Americans — including war veterans,” Mr. Thompson stated in the letter to Napolitano.

“As I am certain you agree, freedom of association and freedom of speech are guaranteed to all Americans — whether a person’s beliefs, whatever their political orientation, are ‘extremist’ or not.”

You know the Department of Homeland Security report is a gross distortion of the truth when someone with Thompson’s solid liberal credentials sees the danger in it.

Sacré bleu! Nicolas Sarkozy resigns from the Barack Obama Fan Club

Nicolas Sarkozy pense que Barack Obama est plein de la merde.
Nicolas Sarkozy pense que Barack Obama est plein de la merde.
Let this be a warning to all the world leaders reading IHateTheMedia.com: Do not steal the limelight from Nicolas Sarkozy.

Sarkozy is calling time out on President Obama’s attempts to reassert American leadership, calling them as unoriginal, unsubstantial and overrated.

The French president is a little pissy about the superstar treatment Obama received on his European tour a couple weeks ago.

According to the Times of London:

The American President’s call to free the world of the menace of a nuclear nightmare” was hot air, Mr Sarkozy’s diplomatic staff told him in a report. “It was rhetoric – not a speech on American security policy but an export model aimed at improving the image of the United States,” they said. Most of Mr Obama’s proposals had already been made by the Bush administration and Washington was dragging its feet on disarmament and treaties against nuclear proliferation, the leaked report said.

Personal pique and French politics are also behind the souring of Mr Sarkozy’s self-promoted honeymoon with the United States. On the personal side, the French President is needled by the adulation for an unproven US leader whose stardom has eclipsed what he sees as his established record as a world troubleshooter. “The President is annoyed by what he sees as the naivety and the herd mentality of the media,” said a journalist who is privy to Elysée thinking.

One member of IHateTheMedia.com’s Editorial Board suffered through two years of French in high school. He’s had an intense dislike of the country and its culture and its people and its food ever since. He hates French poodles, French fries, and French braids, French maids, French pastries, French accents and French perfume.

But now he says, “Vive la France! Vive Le Sarkozy!”

Obama’s presidential approval rating is slipping, watch out below

obama_chart According to Rasmussen’s daily Presidential Tracking Poll released on Sunday, President Obama has slipped to the lowest approval rating of his presidency.

“The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 34% 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 +2, his lowest total to date.”

For God’s sake, man, this guy just got a puppy and he named it Bo. And the media reported it with more enthusiasm than when he named his Secretary of State. The damn dog will probably give him a bounce in tomorrow’s poll.

Military commanders met with resistance when they tried to get the troops to meet with Obama

We all saw the photos. We all saw the new clips. President Obama went to Iraq and the troops greeted him warmly.

“Army officers had intended to have at least 1,500 troops from Camp Victory and nearby Camp Liberty,” The Wall Street Journal reported, “but the secret trip happened faster than expected, beating most of the troops by a couple of hours. Only 600 made it.”

Are the cameras all the same? We can't tell. But that what one report suggests.
Are the cameras all the same? We can't tell. But that what one report suggests.

But was the enthusiasm real or was it staged? Here’s how one sergeant who was on the ground in Iraq reports it.

“We were pre-screened, asked by officials “Who voted for Obama?” And then those who raised their hands were shuffled to the front of the receiving line. They even handed out digital cameras and asked them to hold them up.”

GatewayPundit notes that all the soldiers in the AP photo are using the same model camera, which seems to validate the sergeant’s claim.

C’mon, they were enhancing the moment, like when Hillary stuffs her face with Botox. And with the same result. A much better photo op.

Chavez wants Obama to apologize to Japan. And every other country while he’s at it.

Hugo Chavez urging all Venezuelan men over the age of 50 to get annual prostate exams.
President Obama thought the world would love him if he simply apologized to the Europeans and Turks for Iraq.

So much for that theory. Now it turns out that everybody and their brother wants an apology. Hugo Chavez evens wants us to apologize to the Japanese.

“It is very encouraging that the president of the United States called for the end of and the destruction of nuclear arms in the world,” Hugo Chavez told reporters in Tokyo, where he signed an investment deal with Japan.

The United States is “the planet’s number one nuclear power. It is also the only country in the world that dropped the atomic bomb,” Chavez stated. “At any rate, I think America should apologize to Japan.”

This, of course, is back to back to back with Fidel Castro demanding an apology and Iran lining up for one, too.

Let’s just apologize now. Japan, we’re sorry you attacked us and we kicked your asses in World War II. Venezuela, we’re sorry you were stupid enough to “elect” this megalomaniac. Iran, we’re sorry you’re governed by a group of 13th century lunatics. Cuba, we’re sorry Fidel Castro is still alive. And as an added bonus, United Nations, we’re sorry we ever rented you space in New York city.

Anyone else want an apology? Get in line.

Another Obama brother discovered, accused of sexual assault in the U.K.

Samson Obama, alleged sexual predator. Sounds more like he should be Bill Clinton's brother.
Samson Obama, alleged sexual predator. Sounds more like he should be Bill Clinton's brother.

You need a scorecard to keep track of the wacky characters in President Obama’s family. Now we find out he has yet another half brother, this one named Samson Obama, and he’s been accused of sexual assault in England.

Britain’s The News of the World says Samson was busted in January as he attempted to enter the country on his way from his home in Kenya to bubba’s inauguration in Washington, DC.

Using a high tech database, immigration officers discovered he had been arrested by British police the previous November after he allegedly tried to sexually assault a 13-year old girl.

“He supplied officers with his mother’s address in Bracknell but gave them a false ID, claiming to be Henry Aloo, a genuine asylum seeker,” News of the World said.

This is almost too crazy to believe. We have an illegal alien aunt living in Boston. We have one brother busted for pot while living in a hut in Nairobi. We have another brother living in China and running an illegal internet business. We have the militant Muslim brother living in Kenya. And now we have an alleged sexual predator using false ID in England.

That leaves about half a dozen more Obama brothers and sisters who have checked in with neither us nor their parole officers. The fun has just begun.

Video of the Day
Carters blow off Clintons

We may have understated it. This may be the video of the week. Maybe the month.

It’s always been rumored that there’s no love lost between Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. You can just imagine how “het up” the sanctimonious Carter get over the mere thought of the things Clinton did in the Oval Office.

This clip exposes that lack of respect in all its glory. Bill Clinton is doing his best meet-and-greet at some reception. When Carter approaches, Bill looks away while the peanut farmer and the little lady walk right past and completely ignore him. Clinton looks away and pretends he didn’t see the snub. And best of all, Hillary completely freezes in the background. The look on her face is priceless.
