Sunday Round Up
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Media Bias, Obama Economy, Our Dear Leader, Politics, When democrats attack
Here is collection of interesting items I put in my “blog about” file but didn’t get to.
Let’s lead off with some Blue on Blue media attacks. George Soros’ bought and paid for thugs at Media Matters attacked the uber-liberal reporters at NPR for committing an act of Journalism. Chana Joffe-Walt did a story on that covered the fraud and corruption in the federal disability program on Chicago’s Public Radio This American Life and National Public Radio’s (NPR) All Things Considered. Ms. Joffe-Walt apparently forgot about the memo that said that all news stories must praise our Dear Leader and blame Republicans.
Jon Stewart, a fairly reliable talking head for the extreme far hard left agenda, ripped in our Dear Leader for basic incompetence on his handling of the obscenely long backlog at the Veterans Administration. Gee, it’s almost as if Obama sees US military veterans as his enemy and is trying to kill them off.
Obamacare’s PR Problem: Not Just a Flesh Wound
Megan McCardle points out an annoying fact that leftists don’t like: The Aaron Sorkin Model of Political Discourse Doesn’t Actually Work
Democrat congressman Stephen Lynch on Benghazi Talking Points: ‘It Was Scrubbed … It Was False Information. There’s No Excuse For That.’ Yup, the Obama regime flat out lied the American people for the purpose of ”damage control” prior to the election. This really does call for hearings.
Chicago Law Prof on Obama: “The Professors Hated Him because he was Lazy, Unqualified & Never Attended any of the Faculty Meetings” Hmmm…doesn’t sound like his work habits changed much.
He’s not bluffing
Filed under: Barking Moonbats, Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics, Video
He’s not bluffing people. Remember what he said October 30, 2008: “…we are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”
This may not be the change you were hoping for, but it is the change a bunch of moonbats and the woefully ignorant voted for.
Let’s not forget this quote from Valerie Jarrett, the woman who tells Obama how many times he can shake his dick after he pees.
In case you missed it, what she said was, “”It is important that President-elect Obama is prepared to really take power and be ready to rule day one.”
Not govern, not lead, but rule. Welcome to the “enlightened” second term of our Dear Leader, where he will continue to avoid dealing with the economy, or congress, and implement his vision through executive orders and oppressive regulations.
SEIU taking lessons from ACORN
You remember ACORN, the vote fraud experts. With confessions and convictions of vote fraud in at least 24 states.
Well, it seems that another arm of the democrat party, the SEIU (the major public service union) has been taking lessons from ACORN.
SEIU members have been caught committing vote fraud.
An investigation by the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office has led to a subpoena of SEIU’s Washington, D.C. headquarters and has implicated the prominent labor union in a voter fraud case that threatens to lead to criminal prosecution.
Then-SEIU Senior Organizer-in-Training Clarence S. Haynes, who is no longer affiliated with the union and whose whereabouts are currently unknown, voted in the hotly contested April 2011 election for a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat despite not being a resident of Wisconsin and leaving the state shortly after voting, according to an October 19, 2012 affidavit prepared by Bruce J. Landgraf, the assistant district attorney for Milwaukee County.
It is not surprising that left fights sensible and common sense voter ID laws.
Update: democrat party officials in Maryland, NJ, NY and Massachusetts Face Prison Time for Voter Fraud
Color me completely and utterly unsurprised. Don’t expect to read this in the NY Times or hear about it on the hard far left MS-NBC propaganda arm of the DNC though.
Roundup
Filed under: Congress, Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics, When democrats attack
Today’s roundup post is by Jonah Goldberg:
A Democratic senator hired an unpaid intern who was an undocumented immigrant but a documented sex offender. Apparently Senator Menendez needed an immigrant to do sex offending that Americans won’t do.
Meanwhile, Representative Jim Moran is “embarrassed” by the revelation that his voter-fraud-orchestrating son smashed his girlfriend’s face into a garbage can and pleaded guilty to assault. The girlfriend appears to be doing what she can to make the story go away. But don’t worry, the phrase “war on women” may still only be used to describe people who don’t want to pay for someone else’s birth control. No word if anyone on the left will be expressing their gratitude for the Violence Against Women Act for this.
Over in Michigan, defenders of the union protestors who tore down an Americans for Prosperity tent are heading toward trutherism, suggesting that it was all a set up, the canvas-and-rope equivalent of the Reichstag fire. No word yet if anyone is claiming the Jews inside the tent got advance notice.
Oh, and after months — nay years — of rhetoric from the president and his proxies about how taxes are simply a sign of neighborliness and the dues we pay to live in this great country, we learn that Obama’s staff owe nearly a million dollars in back taxes.
And the Republicans are losing to these guys.
HT to Mr Reynolds, who is correct in his assessment. Just another example of how you would rarely loose money betting on Congressional Republicans to screw the pooch.
Emails Show Close Coordination Between “Justice” Department and Left-Wing Agitprop Organization Media Matters
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics
HT to Ace for this one. Color me not surprised The Obama regime has been anything but “open and transparent” in their actions, legal and illegal.
Internal Department of Justice emails obtained by The Daily Caller show Attorney General Eric Holder’s communications staff has collaborated with the left-wing advocacy group Media Matters for America in an attempt to quell news stories about scandals plaguing Holder and America’s top law enforcement agency.
Let us review the Obama Economy once more
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, economy, Obama Economy, Our Dear Leader, Politics
We’ve take a couple of health checks of the economy under the Obama regime, and they haven’t looked good.
Let’s add this data point: the Obama administration projects $1.2T 2012 budget deficit.
Didn’t our Dear Leader promise to cut the deficit in half? Instead he is taking it to new record highs.
Here is another example of fiscal mismanagement by the Obama regime: GM (Government Motors) ramps Up Risky Subprime Auto Loans To Drive Sales.
Let’s review recent history, it was the federal government policy of forcing record numbers of subprime housing loans that lead to the last fiscal crisis. A policy formed by the so-called “Community Reinvestment Act” that was put in place and defended by the far left wing of the democrat party.
Can anyone see the subprime auto loan market turning out any better than the subprime home loan market?
A clear example of the left letting their hate override any rational thought

Redstate nails it:
Meet Bainers, the New Birthers
The geniuses at Team Obama are showing their complete ignorance of private enterprise, the law, and the one well vetted part of Mitt Romney’s career — his tenure at Bain Capital.
It is well established that Mitt Romney left Bain to go salvage the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics. It is also well established that his name remained on some SEC documents. This stems from winding down his partnership interest in Bain Capital. It is a quirk in the law. It has been well vetted. Even FactCheck.org and the Washington Post are unpersuaded by Team Obama’s hyperbole.
Really? A felon? Hey! Let’s accuse Barack Obama of being a foreign born Muslim! There’s about the same validity to both. Meet the Bainers — they are the members of Team Obama demanding proof from Mitt Romney that he is a liar or a felon. Next they’ll ask when he stopped beating his wife.
The Bainers will not take any answer that does not show Romney to be a liar or felon…
To make it worse, this “Bainerism” is being driven by the Obama Campaign, with the consent of our Dear Leader, President Barack Hussein Obama. It highlights the fundamental dishonesty of the Obama regime, as well as their sheer desperation at this point. Why does the Obama campaign feel the need to repeatedly lie about Gov. Romney instead of running on the President’s own record?
Quote of the Day
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics
“…if you think Bush using his Constitutional authority to replace U.S. Attorneys is a giant scandal, but shrug your shoulders at the federal government sending guns to Mexico, where drug cartels use them to kill a U.S. Border Patrol agent, then you are a hopeless partisan hack who is literally willing to overlook murder to advance your political agenda.”
– Jim Geraghty, Morning Jolt, June 25, 2012
Quote of the Day
“Obama thinks you’re stupid. And if you voted for him, he’s right.”
Let us go to the video record to remind you of how right Mr. Treacher is…
Follow the Money
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics
Lots of money to follow.
Let’s start with a lot of money people wish they could follow.
$1.2 Billion missing from MF Global. You remember MF Global, run by Obama crony Jon Corzine, former democrat Senator and former Governor of New Jersey. The guy who spent New Jersey dry and then ran up a huge debt to keep government spending at economy wreaking levels. He left government service (i.e. he lost an election that his Republican opponent won in a landslide), and proceeded to continue his ways at MF Global. The result was summed up nicely by Ann Barnhardt.
A firm, led by a crony of the Obama regime, stole all of the non-margined cash held by customers of his firm. Let’s not sugar-coat this or make this crime seem “complex” and “abstract” by drowning ourselves in six-dollar words and uber-technical jargon. Jon Corzine STOLE the customer cash at MF Global.
While we discussing friends of our Dear Leader, here a double header of money that deserves to be followed.
Second, Obama’s Half-Billion-Dollar Crony Drug Deal. Yup, a big democrat donor gets a no-bid “sweetheart” government handout. More of the tax payers funding our Dear Leader‘s campaign payoffs.
Moving the so-called “Occupy” criminal trespass groups, it is very clear that Orwell got it right, and some pigs are more equal than others. No tents for the “leaders”, but $700 a night hotels. Paid for by the rank and file who sleep in tents. Yup, Lenin was right as well, when he called them “useful idiots.”
Let’s move to the world of bought and paid for “science”, and its poster child, James Hansen.
As Mr. Hinderaker points out, “…James Hansen, one of the two or three most prominent global warming alarmists on whose work the IPCC reports rest, “forgot” to report $1.6 million in outside income, as required by his government contracts. ”
Finally, let’s not forget the source of the ever so useful phrase, “Follow the Money.”
