Obama’s bullet proof vest
The best argument against resigning before January 20, 2013 can be stated in three words.
“President Joe Biden”
Seriously, the man is a better bullet proof vest than Dan Quayle ever was.
Biden holds the distinction of being the only man in the Senate only to hold leadership posts which only have “time in office” requirements.
Literally ones that the DNC could not deny him because the only criteria was serving the required number of terms.
The DNC has carefully kept this idiot out of any position where he could cause any damage. Which makes him a perfect Vice-President in the traditional application of the office.
I have to give my brother Fred credit for coming up with the perfect summary of Joe Biden. He is the Anti-Dick Cheney.
While some leftists may be calling on Obama not to run for reelection, they would much rather the Big Zero, and his magic teleprompter, to stay in office. With our Dear Leader, the DNC can play the race card, and be secure that Obama, a product of the corrupt Chicago democrat machine, will do what he told, and stay out of too much trouble by sticking with his rigorous golf schedule.
Joe Biden in the Oval Office gives up the race card, and will cause an otherwise reliable core of black voters to stay home. Plus there is the danger that Biden will do what he is famous for Washington, D.C.; screw up royally and let the truth slip out of his mouth.
The old school democrat method to reduce the deficit
Filed under: American History, economy, History, Obama Economy, Our Dear Leader, Politics, Taxes
Let us set the Way Back Machine to 1962, when a democrat President presented his plan to create jobs and economic spur growth.
That’s right, dear readers, President Kennedy called for across the board tax cuts and tax reform in order to create jobs, grow the economy, and increase federal revenue.
Unlike our Dear Leader‘s plan of jacking taxes through the roof, President Kennedy’s plan was successful.
“Tax revenues climbed from $94 billion in 1961 to $153 billion in 1968, an increase of 62 percent (33 percent after adjusting for inflation).”

Debunking 9/11 Myths: Why Conspiracy Theories Can’t Stand Up to the Facts by David Dunbar, Brad Reagan and James B. Meiqs
Here is the day after September 11 special edition Monday Book Pick. The kryptonite of those Troofer idiots, actual facts and rational thought.
Three years of Obama “promises” on jobs
Perhaps the majority of those who have opposed our Dear Leader since he first appeared on the national scene are right, he is dangerously incompetent, and is completely lacking in any private sector experience.
AP fact checks Obama’s speech and finds it comes up short on actual facts
Filed under: economy, Obama Economy, Our Dear Leader, Politics
Here is the fact checking article in full. I’ll just list some of the highlights
Essentially, the jobs plan is an IOU from a president and lawmakers who may not even be in office down the road when the bills come due. Today’s Congress cannot bind a later one for future spending. A future Congress could simply reverse it.
THE FACTS: It’s hard to see how the program would not raise the deficit over the next year or two because most of the envisioned spending cuts and tax increases are designed to come later rather than now, when they could jeopardize the fragile recovery.
THE FACTS: Not all of the president’s major proposals are likely to yield quick job growth if adopted. One is to set up a national infrastructure bank to raise private capital for roads, rail, bridges, airports and waterways. Even supporters of such a bank doubt it could have much impact on jobs in the next two years because it takes time to set up.
Bottom line, our Dear Leader asked for more of his failed policies. More and more of the American people, especially registered voters, are seeing the truth behind his rhetoric.
FBI arrests prominent Democratic campaign Treasurer

Follow the Money! Algore edition
Yes, another installment in our Follow the Money series!
This time it’s Algore at the end of the money trail! Investors Business Daily reports:
No one has made more money from climate change hype than Gore. According to the U.K.’s Guardian newspaper, just one of the “green” companies in which Gore has invested has received over half a billion dollars in subsidies from the Energy Department.
Yup, the same Algore who made piles and piles of money selling so called “carbon credits” by telling people that the oceans were going to rise within the next few years and flood the coasts, then bought a giant, energy consuming mansion on the southern California coast line.
What did Obama know and when did he know it?
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics
By way of Ms. Malkin, comes this LA Times story that shows the Obama White House knew about the corrupt ATF “Fast & Furious” program very, very early on.
Newly obtained emails show that the White House was better informed about a failed gun-tracking operation on the border with Mexico than was previously known.
Three White House national security officials were given some details about the operation, dubbed Fast and Furious. The operation allowed firearms to be illegally purchased, with the goal of tracking them to Mexican drug cartels. But the effort went out of control after agents lost track of many of the weapons.
The supervisor of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives operation in Phoenix specifically mentioned Fast and Furious in at least one email to a White House national security official, and two other White House colleagues were briefed on reports from the supervisor, according to White House emails and a senior administration official.
Our Dear Leader‘s administration has responded to the “Fast & Furious” scandal by continuing their war on transparency. ATF Head Kenneth Melson is being shuffled out of office. It is as if the Obama administration doesn’t want him to answer any questions about the “Fast & Furious” scandal.
Even the Obama cheerleaders at CBS News are starting to use the word “coverup.”
Congressional investigators tell CBS News there’s evidence the U.S. Attorney’s office in Arizona sought to cover up a link between their controversial gunwalking operation known as “Fast and Furious” and the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
Terry was murdered in Arizona near the US border last December. Two assault rifles ATF had allegedly allowed onto the street without interdiction were found at the scene.
But the US Attorney’s office working both the Terry murder and the “Fast and Furious” operation did not immediately disclose the two had any link. Two Republicans investigating the scandal, Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) say there’s evidence that officials at ATF and the US Attorney’s office sought to hide the connection.
HT to Ace for the CBS News “coverup” story.
The New York Times recognizes the extreme far left wing bias of MSNBC
By way of Noel Sheppard at Newsbusters comes this clearly obvious bit of “news”:
“MSNBC is less a news provider than a carousel of liberal opinion…”
This is not a surprise to anyone paying attention. Really, the head of MSNBC admitted that he was going to “out Fox Fox”, but from the far extreme left. It was a business decision in order boost their ratings out of dead last in the cable new race.
Kudos to him because it worked. MSNBC is still way, way behind Fox News in the ratings, but has passed CNN.
Our out of control federal government in action
Mark Steyn points out just how out of control the federal government is:
Schylar Capo, eleven years old, of Virginia, who made the mistake of rescuing a woodpecker from the jaws of a cat and nursing him back to health for a couple of days, and for her pains, was visited by a federal Fish & Wildlife gauleiter (with accompanying state troopers) who charged her with illegal transportation of a protected species and issued her a $535 fine. If the federal child-abuser has that much time on his hands, he should have charged the cat, who was illegally transporting the protected species from his gullet to his intestine.
