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.

Obama stabs union in the back, crosses picket line to tape Tonight Show

obama lenoIt wasn’t an official strike, just a protest. But 100 or so members of the Screen Actors Guild picketed NBC’s Tonight Show in Burbank last night. And President Obama’s limo sped past them faster than Joe Biden putting his foot in his mouth.

Here’s how Variety explains it:

The protest was organized in hopes of bringing the issue of SAG’s contract stalemate to Obama’s attention. The Membership First faction of SAG has been urging members to vote down whatever deal’s sent out for ratification due to its perceived shortcomings in new media.

“I told the president’s office that there would be demonstrators outside NBC to alert him to the fact that many of our members won’t be able to make any living if this deal’s shoved down our throats,” said Scott Wilson, who organized the event.

SAG national board members Frances Fisher and Nancy Sinatra attended along with former board members Michael Bell and Susan Savage.

What a great story. It has Hollywood. It has unions. It has a floundering socialist president screwing Hollywood unions.

It has everything except someone to sympathize with.

Obama gets newspaper publishers award, closes ceremony to the press

Not only is the ceremony closed to the press, but the NNPA is closed to whites (NNPA ad)
Not only is the ceremony closed to the press, but the NNPA is closed to whites (NNPA ad)

This one is nutty even in the twisted world of Washington, DC.

The LA Times reports that our Fearless Leader set to receive the “Newsmaker of the Year” award this afternoon from the National Newspaper Publishers Association, a group of black publishers from across the nation. They’ll all get together at the White House, shake hands, and pose for all the photographers.

Oh, wait. They won’t pose for the photographers because the event has been closed to the press.

That’s right, the guy who claimed he was going to head up the most transparent administration in history is shutting the press out of the ceremony in which he’s being honored by the press.

The teleprompter must have called in sick today.

Are Obama’s primetime TV appearances designed to damage Fox?

"Have you...uh...seen my teleprompter, Dave...uh...Jay?"
"Have you...uh...seen my teleprompter, Dave...uh...Jay?"

President Obama is wearing out his welcome with America’s television networks. Especially at Fox, home of his harshest critics.

The economy is struggling, advertising sales are dropping, ratings are sagging, and all the networks lose revenue every time Obama interrupts their regular primetime programming. But none are impacted as severly as Fox.

Obama always requests primetime coverage on Tuesday, the one night of the week that does the most damage to Fox.

Fox “owns” Tuesday nights thanks to its two-hour American Idol programming block. Next week the network will be forced to shift its line-up, pushing each of the regular “Idol” broadcasts back a day.

“At a time when we’re struggling not only financially but to build audiences, this doesn’t help on either front,” one network executive said. “These repeated interruptions — and the rumor of even more to come — really make it difficult to build audience flow and loyalty. We will all lose one or two million dollars for this.”

“I believe in the president and his policies, and as broadcasters we have a responsibility to provide the airtime,” said another network insider. “But these frequent primetime requests are wreaking serious havoc with our schedule and our advertisers. Ratings are down everywhere and the airtime is costing us all significant dollars when we can least afford it.”

So much for the “stimulus” plan.

But let’s get to the more important issues. Adam Lambert. Did you love his version of “Ring of Fire?” Or did you hate it?

Brazilian leader’s name too hard to spell. No proofreader in the White House?

Enough already with the mistakes Mr. Obama, enough!
Enough already with the mistakes Mr. Obama, enough!

Britain’s Prime Minister got a set of DVDs and the bum’s rush. The Russian Foreign Minister got a button that said, “Reset” or “Overcharged” or something. And now to complete the diplomatic trifecta, the President of Brazil got his meeting bumped and his name misspelled.

According to an AP report, aides to Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said the Obama administration pushed his trip forward from Tuesday because of St. Patrick’s Day. (Apparently, the Commander-In-Chief is actually Irish and his name was originally spelled O’Bama.)

Then the printed White House announcement misspelled his name as “Luis Ignacio” instead of “Luis Inacio” and put Lula – a nickname that became a legal part of the Brazilian leader’s name decades ago – in quotes.

President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva may represent the world’s fifth most populous nation and ninth largest economy, but his name is just too long for the Obama administration’s short attention span:

But it’s not all bad news. There is job opening for a proofreader at the White House (as long as your taxes are paid up).

The White House is on, but nobody’s home

white_house_darkOutsourcing must be hitting the news media hard. Because you have to go overseas to get any critical or even objective reporting on the Obama administration.

The Daily Mail’s Don Surber is anything but chuffed with The One’s work habits: “Barack Obama is too busy posing for magazine covers to actually do the job to which he was elected.

“There is a price to be paid when a president throws a party every other night, weekends in Chicago or Camp David and poses for magazine cover after magazine cover.

“After 51 days in office, Barack Obama has appointed only 73 people to 1,200 jobs that require Senate confirmation.”

The London Independent reported: “Last week, it was all smiles and handshakes as Gordon Brown and President Barack Obama put on a show of unity in Washington.

“But yesterday, Sir Gus O’Donnell, Britain’s most senior civil servant, exposed transatlantic tension when he protested that Downing Street was finding it ‘unbelievably difficult’ to plan for next month’s G20 summit in London because of problems tracking down senior figures in the US administration. ‘There is nobody there. You cannot believe how difficult it is,’ the Cabinet Secretary told a civil service conference in Gateshead.”

Since the White House seems to be having so much trouble finding enough people to answer the phones, maybe Michelle Obama could invite over some of those homeless people from the soup kitchen. They already know how to work cell phones pretty well.

Networks celebrate Obama’s “whirlwind of activity.” Others take to the storm cellars.

<b>"Change is coming! Hope is coming! Run for your life!"</b>
"Change is coming! Hope is coming! Run for your life!"

NBC and ABC on Tuesday marked President Obama’s first 50 days in office this week. Sadly, they celebrated it.

“The President’s first seven weeks have been a whirlwind with often dramatic movement in all directions, on all fronts,” NBC’s Brian Williams intoned.

“Seven weeks ago,”ABC’s Jake Tapper commented, “just minutes after taking the oath of office, President Obama formally nominated his cabinet. He’s been a whirling dervish of activity ever since.”

For some reason, neither network mentioned Obama’s many failed nominations, his dithering over the the “stimulus” bill, Wall Street’s negative reaction every time he opens his mouth, his foreign policy gaffes, his the race toward socialism and destruction of capitalism, his aura of negativity, nor the astounding increase in debt he’s proposed.

Instead, the networks lovingly referred to the President as a “whirlwind” and a “whirling dervish of activity.”

In middle America, they don’t call it a whirling dervish. They call a hurricane. And they race down to their storm cellars until it’s safe to come out again.

Obama introduces Alinsky Rule #13: Create successes that cannot be measured

rules for radicals 13Remember the movie “Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark?” Indy found an ancient artifact that had been lost for thousands of years.

Well, slap a snappy fedora on the president and call him Indiana Obama, because he’s discovered socialist Saul Alinsky’s long-lost 13th Rule for Radicals. It is “Create successes that cannot be measured or disproved.”

Presidents used to say, “My plan will create X jobs?” Our new president says, “My plan will create or save X jobs.”

Every time he says it, the compliant media nod enthusiastically, scribble down that day’s number, and hope like hell reporters are among the ones that are saved.

For God’s sake, people, would someone please ask this guy how to measure this new statistical category he’s invented called “Jobs Saved.”

Thanks to this magical new “Jobs Saved” category, Obama can make up any number he damn well pleases. Even if jobs don’t budge an inch in the next four years, he’ll happily announce, “Due to our policies, we have saved 4 million jobs.”

To complete the analogy, Indiana Jones was afraid of snakes. So are we. Especially when they’re in the White House.

Obama’s economic philosophy traced to childhood readings

Social scientists have long questioned the origin of President Obama’s most deeply-held economic philosophy.

Is it, they wondered, rooted in the mixed up mélange of cultures in which he was raised? Did it spring, as others suggested, from some genetic link to his father’s exotic homeland? Or does it arise, as some have proposed, from the spiritual awakening of his college years?

Now the truth can been discovered and can finally be revealed.

Barack Obama’s most treasured economic philosophies can been traced back to his extensive childhood reading of the works of Brant Parker and Johnnie Hart, two highly-regarded 20th century artists and political scientists.

A whopping 95% of the Taliban we are fighting in Afghanistan are not “incorrigible.” In an update to our story Tuesday, Obama may reach out to “moderate” Taliban, we have a clip of Joe Biden clarifiying what Obama meant by “moderate Taliban.” We think his boss is, once again, not thanking ol’ Joe for his help.

Terrorist informant links Ayers and wife to murder of policeman

Terrorist Bill Ayers standing on the American flag
Terrorist Bill Ayers standing on the American flag

More bad news for unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers and his equally-unrepentant wife Bernadette Dorhn.

Larry Grathwohl was an FBI informant who infiltrated Ayer’s Weather Underground terrorist group in the 1970s. He’s holding a press conference in San Francisco today to talk about things Ayers and Dohrn would rather keep buried in the past.

Here’s part of Grathwohl’s pre-released opening statement:

“The San Francisco Police Department Park Station bombing occurred on February 16, 1970, when a pipe bomb filled with shrapnel detonated on the ledge of a window at the San Francisco Police Department’s Golden Gate Park station. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, “Investigators in the early ’70s said the bombing likely was the work of the Weather Underground, and not the Black Liberation Army,” but the crime was never solved. Brian V. McDonnell, a police sergeant, was fatally wounded in its blast; Robert Fogarty, another police officer, was severely wounded in his face and legs and was partially blinded.”

“No one was ever charged with the crime although six years the FBI was close to indicting Ayers wife and fellow terrorist Bernardine Dohrn around six years ago.”

“I was in the Weather Underground as an informant/infiltrator for the FBI. I have testified, spoken, and written about the involvement of Weather Underground terrorist leaders Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn in that bombing…There is no statute of limitations on murder.”

Attorney General Eric Holder is probably working on those pardon papers already.

That thud you just heard was Warren Buffett throwing Obama under the bus

Warren Buffet has hopped off the Hope’n’change Express and thrown its driver under the wheels.

The tycoon, who lent Obama his economic credibility, told CNBC that he’s having second thoughts about his choice for president. Maybe even third ones.

A sizeable portion of Buffet’s wealth has evaporated since Election Day. So the world’s second-richest man had a few choice words about Obama’s handling of the economy and the administration’s cynical new mantra about a crisis being a terrible thing to waste. Naturally, the CNBC interview was promptly ignored by the rest of the dinosaur media.

Before launching into his criticism, Buffet made sure to offer a qualifying disclaimer. “I strongly support him,” Buffet said, “and I think he’s the right guy.” For some reason, Buffet couldn’t explain exactly why he still supports Obama. But never mind.

Then came Warren’s big BUT:

“…Job one is to win the war, the economic war. Job two is to win the economic war. And job three. And you can’t expect people to unite behind you if you’re trying to jam a whole bunch of things down their throat. So I would, I would absolutely say for the, for the interim, till we get this one solved, I would not be pushing a lot of things that are, you know, are contentious. And I also, I also would do no finger-pointing whatsoever.”

Note: the above quote begins at minute 15:45 in video.

We think he said “finger pointing” but it might have been “finger painting.” Because we’d all be a lot better off if Obama did more of the latter and less of the former.

Big Sky Democrat says Obama’s statistics are blue sky

max baucusBuried deep in the Associated Press’ excellent analysis of the president’s economic “stimulus” program was this little gem that most of the media has chosen to ignore.

Senator Max Baucus, a Montana Democrat, challenged Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner last week.

“You created a situation where you cannot be wrong,” the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee said.

“If the economy loses 2 million jobs over the next few years, you can say yes, but it would’ve lost 5.5 million jobs,” Baucus contined. “If we create a million jobs, you can say, well, it would have lost 2.5 million jobs. You’ve given yourself complete leverage where you cannot be wrong, because you can take any scenario and make yourself look correct.”

The natives are restless. The Indians are jumping the reservation. There’s trouble in River City. And AP analyzed it correctly for once.

Obama may reach out to “moderate” Taliban

talibanHere’s the formula: Conservative gives an interview and the media picks every answer to pieces. Liberal gives an interview and even the most ludicrous statement goes unquestioned.

Take, for example, last weekend’s interview with President Obama in the New York Times. Here’s how Reuter’s adoringly reported it:

“U.S. President Barack Obama is open to the idea of reaching out to moderate elements of the Taliban.”

“Obama said that some of the U.S. success in Iraq involved reaching out to Islamic fundamentalists who had been alienated by the tactics of al Qaeda in Iraq.”

We’re still trying to figure out what a moderate Taliban is and wonder why neither the Times nor Reuters asked the question.

Are the moderates the ones in the General Department for the Preservation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (Amr-bil Maroof Wa Nahi Anil Munkar) who search houses and destroy television sets, radios, cassettes, and photographs?

Or the ones who roam the streets beating those they deem to be violators of Sharia law? The ones behind gender apartheid who force women to wear burqas and ban girls from attending school? The ones who control the opium trade? The ones who perform mass executions in Kabul’s soccer stadium? The ones who destroyed ancient Buddhist statues because they were “blasphemous?”

Moderate Taliban. That’s what’s known as an oxymoron. Like “jumbo shrimp” and “Senate Intelligence Committee.”

AP dispenses healthy, but unexpected dose of reality: Obama plan faltering

associated press logoA just-released Associated Press analysis is a dramatic departure from the liberal claptrap we’ve come to expect from the wire service.

“President Barack Obama offered his domestic-policy proposals as a ‘break from a troubled past.’ But the economic outlook now is more troubled than it was even in January, despite Obama’s bold rhetoric and commitment of more trillions of dollars.”

“And while his personal popularity remains high, some economists and lawmakers are beginning to question whether Obama’s agenda of increased government activism is helping, or hurting, by sowing uncertainty among businesses, investors and consumers that could prolong the recession.”

“Although the administration likes to say it “inherited” the recession and trillion-dollar deficits, the economic wreckage has worsened on Obama’s still-young watch.”

“Every day, the economy is becoming more and more an Obama economy.”

Read the entire analysis. It’s actually honest enough to quote doubting Democrats who are buying neither Obama’s line of reasoning nor line of bull.

President’s “Middle Class Task Force” packed with highly-paid elitists, no middle class

<b>Typical transportation for members of President Obama's Middle Class Task Force</b>
Typical transportation for members of President Obama's Middle Class Task Force

The press trumpets President Obama’s Middle Class Task Force. But they never mention that it’s made up of highly-paid Veep Joe Biden and seven other White House elitists.

Maybe it should be renamed “President Obama’s Vision of What the Middle Class Looks Like Task Force.” Because no one who’s actually a member of the middle class is a member of the Middle Class Task Force.

Middle class is generally defined as anyone earning between $30,000 and $100,000 a year. Yet every member of the Task Force makes at least $150,000, putting them in the top 5% of American wage earners.

For example, Vice President Biden makes $227,000 per year. Council of Economic Advisors chair Christina Romer pulls down $172,000. And Energy Secretary Steven Chu takes home $191,000. And that’s just from their government gigs. Who knows how much they make from other sources.

In order to research the problems of the middle class, perhaps Task Force members can roll down the privacy windows in their limos and speak to their drivers. That’s about as close to middle class as these guys are likely to get.

American media ignores bungling Obama, British media irate

President Obama bungled meetings this week with America’s most important ally. The British are irate about it.

First, Obama unceremoniously returned a bust of Winston Chuchill the Brits had given to President Bush right after 9-11. Then, he snubbed Prime Minister Gordon Brown by deciding he wasn’t important enough to merit a joint press conference. Finally, after Brown was thoughtful enough to present Obama with a beautiful pen holder hand-carved from a plank from a former anti-slavery ship, Obama reciprocated by giving Brown a collection of DVDs.

The Brits are up in arms. Editorial after editorial and article after article has ripped Obama’s trashing of the “special relationship” the two countries share. But the story has been ignored by the adoring American media. For example, a Google News search for “Obama, “British,” and “25 DVDs” turns up a mere 21 stories, including reprints in various publications.

We can’t even say it’s a case of conservative-liberal bias, because a search for “Hillary,” “Europe,” and “reset” turns up 249,000 stories and her gaffe only happened on Friday. No, this is strictly a case of the media protecting its investment in Barack Obama.

But perhaps we shouldn’t really blame the American media. They had plenty of other important stories that needed covering this week. Like Octomom. Has she had anymore kids yet? And Michelle. Is she wearing sleeves today?

Gordon Brown may be rethinking his earlier comments in this video.

Wikipedia censors Obama entry, removes scandals and controversies

wikipedia logoSo much for Wikipedia’s credibility. According to WorldNetDaily, the online entry for Barack Obama is quickly and continuously censored to make sure the president appears to be scandal-free.

Obama’s current Wikipedia entry paints a remarkably positive picture of the president. The most controversial parts of his life, including Rev. Jeremiah Wright and terrorist pal Bill Ayers aren’t even mentioned. The controversy regarding Obama’s eligibility to serve as president is also ignored.

To make matters even worse, Wikipedia administrators have quickly deleted any negative comments and suspended those who had the temerity to write them.

How ’bout they just quit beating around the bush and put the fully-censored Obama listing under “F” for “Fearless Leader.”

Two Three more people bail out of the bail-out team

Team Obama just can’t seem to set its starting line-up. Nominees, potential nominees, and rumored nominees continue to drop like flies.

Annette Nazareth, a former commissioner with the SEC, made “a personal decision” and pulled her name from consideration to be Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner’s top aide.

Then, in a huge blow to TV viewers around the world, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN’s chief medical correspondent, said he no longer wanted to be considered for the Surgeon General job because of “personal reasons.”

Seems to us that “personal reasons” has now become Liberalese for “I haven’t paid my taxes for the last seven years?”

UPDATE: Now a third potential member of Obama’s team has bailed. Caroline Atkinson, nominee for undersecretary of international affairs, has also withdrawn from consideration.

Obama can’t adlib, takes teleprompter everywhere

Say what? Turns out President Obama, a man whose soaring oratory won him an election, is hapless and helpless without his Teleprompter. He refuses to give a speech without one (see accompanying video to see why).

The ol’ teleprompter broke down a few times on the campaign trail last summer and Obama responded by delivering some “less than ordinary” speeches.

Presidential historians admit no other president has ever been so dependent on the device. “It’s just something presidents haven’t done,” Martha Joynt Kumar said. “It’s jarring to the eye. In a way, it stands in the middle between the audience and the president because his eye is on the teleprompter.”

Fine. Let Obama have his Teleprompter. But please don’t buy one for Joe Biden.

IHateTheMedia.com depends on the vice president’s ad libs as much as Obama depends on his Teleprompter.

Chavez to Obama: Be my socialist homeboy

<b>We don't need no stinkin' constitution bigger than this!</b>
We don't need no stinkin' constitution bigger than this! Either do you America.

President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela has just called upon President Obama to help lead the world out of the global recession by joining the project of “21st century socialism” of which Chavez is the self-proclaimed leader.

Speaking to a group of workers in the Venezuelan state of Bolivar, their Dear leader directed this comment to our Dear Leader: “Come with us, align yourself, come with us on the road to socialism. This is the only path. Imagine a socialist revolution in the United States/”

Far-fetched? Not to Chavez: “Nothing is impossible. Who would have thought in the 1980s that the Soviet Union would disappear? Nothing is impossible. Who would have thought in the 1980s that the Soviet Union would disappear? No one,” he said. “That murderous, genocidal empire has to end, and some day there has to come a leader … who interprets the best of a people who also include human beings who suffer, endure, weep and laugh.”

Reporters and anchors in the newsrooms of America must be bewildered. On the one hand, it is music to their ears to hear the call to socialism here in America, coming on so strong and so soon after they collectively installed their president. On the other hand, there aren’t a lot of reporters reporting in Venezuela, now are there?

Economy in the sh*tter,
Obama gets advice from Twitter

Here’s the oddest news item of the day.

Evan Williams, CEO of Twitter, is winging his way to Washington, DC today. President Obama has asked him to sit on a panel of “young business leaders” charged with coming up with ideas to solve the economic crisis.

Even Williams understands how silly this is. As he put it in a Twitter message, “Going to the White House tomorrow for a meeting about the economy (which must mean they’re *really* out of ideas). What should I tell them?”

Don’t get us wrong. We love Twitter. We tweet all the time. It’s a great way to keep in touch with friends and like-thinkers. But a lot of people don’t and its economic model is…well…a mystery.

For example, Jon Stewart offered his take on Twitter during a recent “Old Man Stewart Shakes His Fist at …” segment. “I have no idea,” Steward said, “how it works or why it is.”

That being said, we fear Obama is asking Williams for advice because Twitter is built on the same economic model that led to Obama’s “stimulus” plan:

Both have millions of people dependent on them, both are growing at astronomical rates, and neither care how much money they lose.

WSJ article says “Obama’s Radicalism Is Killing the Dow”

dow after obama chart to 03-05-09

Note to White House: don’t let the president see today’s issue of the Wall Street Journal.

Tell him the dog chewed it up. Tell him the delivery boy threw it on the roof. Tell him they’re still drying it out because it got rained on. Come up with any excuse you want, but don’t let him see the paper.

“It’s hard,” Stanford economics professor Michael J. Boskin said, “not to see the continued sell-off on Wall Street and the growing fear on Main Street as a product, at least in part, of the realization that our new president’s policies are designed to radically re-engineer the market-based U.S. economy, not just mitigate the recession and financial crisis.

“The illusion that Barack Obama will lead from the economic center,” the article continued, “has quickly come to an end. Instead of combining the best policies of past Democratic presidents — John Kennedy on taxes, Bill Clinton on welfare reform and a balanced budget, for instance — President Obama is returning to Jimmy Carter’s higher taxes and Mr. Clinton’s draconian defense drawdown.”

Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. One who lusted in his heart. One who lusted in the Oval Office. And one who lusted to destroy capitalism.

British newspaper rips Obama again, compares him to “flawed” LBJ

<b>President Obama was excited when he heard he was going to meet the queen, disappointed when he found out it wasn't Elton John.</b>
President Obama was excited when he heard he was going to meet the queen, disappointed when he found out it wasn't Elton John.

Looks like newspapers on the other side of the Atlantic didn’t get that “laudatory coverage only” memo from the White House. The President and everyone around him have been sliced and diced by The Telegraph this week.

The paper’s latest article starts off by reviewing all the president’s gaffes – his poorly thought out choice of gifts, his insulting return of the Churchill bust, his hastily-prepared joint press conference with Gordon Brown. Then things got really nasty:

“Something, suddenly, seems to have made the Obama White House perk up and start to take an interest in the Brits. The Queen has invited the President to tea when he’s here for the G20 in April. And he’s in through the front door of Buckingham Palace faster than a Harley Davidson roaring along Route 66.”

“Note how the coolness of Team Obama disappears when a bit of regal glamour is introduced into the equation. He might not like the Brits, but he can recognise a global superstar when he encounters one. He wants to be associated with her. He’s shameless.”

“If Obama, or someone in his inner circle, had spent two minutes thinking about what present to get Brown then they could easily have come up with something appropriate. He likes books. He loves American history. Get him a signed first edition of a good Robert Dallek book such as the brilliant Flawed Giant on LBJ. Come to think of it, Obama should read it too, if he hasn’t yet, as it reveals a great deal about how a Presidency can go so wrong.”

We’re surprised Obama didn’t schedule tea and crumpets with Prince Charles since they have so much in common:

They both have two kids. Both believe in global warming, yet whip around the world in private jets. And both have domineering wives who make them jump through hoops like trained chihuahuas.
