Back on June 7, 2008, law professor Glenn Reynolds (better known as Instapundit) posted the following:
I can think of no better reason to vote against Obama than the prospect of an administration where any criticism of the President is treated as racism.
Well folks, as it has been shown before, he was bloody well right.
The extremist far left has their spokeskook, Garofalo, on MSNBC with Olbermann spouting their nonsense.
The rational thought content in her rant is stuck at zero. This is pure leftism, no logic, no facts, just raw hate.

As a public service, I’m providing translations for some of our Dear Leader‘s “code words” into English.
“Overseas Contingency Operations” is Obamaspeak for the Global War on Islamofascism.
“Man-caused disasters” is Obamaspeak for Islamic Terrorism.
“Secretary of the Treasury” is Obamaspeak for Tax Cheat.
“Rightwing Extremist” is Obamaspeak for Veterans of the United States Military

It seems that tolerance, as well as diversity, is not included in the set of “Hope & Change.”
Since Arizona State University made the rational and well thought out decision not grant our Dear Leader an honorary degree because of his overall lack of experience in just about anything, the radical extremist far left that makes up the most rabid of Team Lightbringer’s supporters have reacted true to form.
ASU dared to defy their leftist deity, so they want the heretics burned. I’m not kidding. There have been actual death threats from the “open minded and tolerant” left.
Laurie Chassin co-chairs the ASU Honorary Degree Committee along with Christine Wilkinson, but she is on sabbatical this year and is not involved in this year’s evaluations. According to a source within the administration, she reportedly received death threats after this story hit national news on Thursday. An ASU spokesperson said they started receiving hate-email within minutes after the story was published on Huffington Post.
The President’s friend and advisor, the terrorist William Ayers should be proud.

The Washington Times reports that the Vatican has “rejected at least three of President Obama’s candidates to serve as U.S. ambassador to the Holy See” because of their pro-abortion stances.
If our Dear Leader hopes to meet Pope Benedict XVI in July, he should have a ambassador in place first. I’m sure the White House would never dream of sending a staunch anti-Communist to meet with the Communist Dictators of Cuba, so this must be some sort of logistical issue. It is likely that in the highly diverse and tolerant liberal democrat administration, there isn’t one person of significant rank (and for an ambassador, that includes anyone who donated a big pile of money during the campaign) who supports the Pro-Life agenda.
HT to The Other McCain
Update: Team Obama continues its foreign policy record of Epic Fail by attempting to make one of his campaign supporters, who is also strongly pro-abortion, to the post of Ambassador to the Vatican. In this case, it’s Princess Caroline of the democrat political Kennedy dynasty. Does the President also plan on attempting to give the Pope a wedgie when they meet?
Of course, the Vatican has rejected this attempt as well. Bill Clinton was experienced and smart enough not to drop the ball on a simple diplomatic appointment like this one. He picked the former Mayor of Boston, democrat and a more observant Roman Catholic than Princess Caroline, whom the Vatican had no problems accepting as the Ambassador of the United States of America.
It seems that a simple task of finding a Pro-Life democrat to appoint to this post is beyond the skill set of Team Lightbringer. The other explanation I put forward may be true. It’s not a simple task, because the “highly diverse and tolerant liberal democrat administration” of our Dear Leader doesn’t include a single democrat who supports a Pro-Life agenda and nobody in their circle of friends/co-workers is a democrat who supports a Pro-Life agenda.
So much for that “big tent” diversity thing. It appears that this simple level of diversity is not part of “Hope & Change.”

Our Dear Leader did bring us “Hope & Change.” I’m hoping for a return to sanity in the 2010 elections and in two months, Americans are now more divided politically than ever.
That’s change we can believe in!

As Stuart Varney points out in this Wall Street Journal article, control of the banks is clearly the goal of our Dear Leader‘s administration.
The government wants to control the banks, just as it now controls GM and Chrysler, and will surely control the health industry in the not-too-distant future. Keeping them TARP-stuffed is the key to control. And for this intensely political president, mere influence is not enough. The White House wants to tell ’em what to do. Control. Direct. Command.
…
If the banks are forced to keep TARP cash — which was often forced on them in the first place — the Obama team can work its will on the financial system to unprecedented degree. That’s what’s happening right now.
…
Fast forward to today, and that same bank is begging to give the money back. The chairman offers to write a check, now, with interest. He’s been sitting on the cash for months and has felt the dead hand of government threatening to run his business and dictate pay scales. He sees the writing on the wall and he wants out. But the Obama team says no, since unlike the smaller banks that gave their TARP money back, this bank is far more prominent. The bank has also been threatened with “adverse” consequences if its chairman persists. That’s politics talking, not economics.
The clear goal here is not economic recovery, it is to use the power of the federal executive branch to bully private business to rewarding the President’s friends and punish his political enemies.
Welcome to the Third World folks.

First, yet another Obama nominee who has a problem paying taxes. This time it’s Health and Human Services nominee Kathleen Sebelius, who owed more than $7,000 in back taxes. Our Dear Leader is barking up the wrong tree by raising taxes on the “rich” (which with today’s $0.70 hike in cigarette taxes includes everybody). He should just get democrats to pay their taxes.
Next, following up on his embarrassingly stupid gift to the British PM, our “oh so smart” President gives the Queen of England an iPod.
Then BHO’s “top notch” media team screws the pooch on scheduling with the US media.
Didn’t the democrats tell us he was the “smart one?”
HRC may be evil, but she was at least competent.

Quote of the Day:
“Remember: The guy who’s trying to nationalize industry and start his own youth corps isn’t the fascist. That was the previous occupant.” — Jim Treacher

Our Dear Leader‘s so-called “Cap and Trade” program is really a “Cap and Tax” program that is going to suck more money from the paychecks of every American.
This energy tax is going to hit the poorest the hardest, since they pay the largest percentage of their income on energy costs (electricity, heating and transportation).
White House sources have admitted that this will be an average increase of $1,800 per family!
President Obama’s energy tax plan — a version of the failed European “cap and trade” global warming fiasco — may cost families $1,800 yearly in higher utility bills, far exceeding his promised $800 a year tax cut for 95% of Americans.
While campaigning, Obama admitted that his energy plan would cause electric bills to “skyrocket.” President Obama’s energy tax plan — a version of the failed European “cap and trade” global warming fiasco — may cost families $1,800 yearly in higher utility bills, far exceeding his promised $800 a year tax cut for 95% of Americans.
While campaigning, Obama admitted that his energy plan would cause electric bills to “skyrocket.”
So when Candidate Obama said that Americans making less than $250,000 a year would not see any new taxes, he was lying! Get used to it folks. It’s a long way until January 20, 2013.
