democrats place partisan politics over National Security
Former Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and democrat Clintonite Leon Panetta both agree on something.
San Francisco democrat Nancy Pelosi is a lying bitch.
That Pelosi knew about the waterboarding is clear. She also knew about it long before it became a political issue.
What is clear is that Pelosi, the leader of the democrat party in the House, is putting politics over National Security, and unless the party forces her to resign, the DNC is clearly supporting her choice of priorities.
The Obama administration doesn’t meet the standards of breakfast foods
Michelle Malkin has a very informative article detailing how our Dear Leader‘s administration fails to meet the standards they want a breakfast cereal to meet.
Here are some of the highlights:
The White House claims 150,000 jobs have been “created or saved.” But since February, the nation has lost more than 1.3 million jobs. The current 8.9 percent unemployment rate in the wake of stimulus passage is worse than the 8.8 percent unemployment figure Obama’s economists darkly predicted if Congress didn’t immediately adopt their recovery plan. (See Innocent Bystanders.)
…
Washington told us the “stimulus” projects were “shovel-ready” and would provide immediate relief. They’re not. The New York Times notes that the program “has paid out less than 6 percent of the money, largely in the form of social service payments to states.”Democrat leaders baldly claimed that “There are no earmarks” in the bill. But untold tens of millions of dollars are headed to pet projects such as skateboard parks, tennis and basketball court renovation, the National Zoo, the $11 million Bridge to Microsoft, and Pennsylvania King of Pork Rep. John Murtha’s ghost airport to nowhere.
…
How about “Social Security?” There’s nothing secure about it. While Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid scoffed during the Bush years that “the so-called Security crisis exists in only one place – the minds of the Republicans,” the insolvency problem festered. Now, the Obama administration reports that both Social (In)security and Medicare are hurtling toward bankruptcy far sooner than previously estimated. The “trust funds” exist only in the minds of the deluded.
Yup, that’s right, democrat Senator Harry Reid lied to the American people. Instead of telling the truth, he used Social Security as a political tool to attack his enemies rather than do what is best for America. Nobody paying attention should be surprised by this.
The headline the MSM will never run
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics, Taxes, Tea Party
President Obama says, “The Tea Party protesters were right!”
That is the headline the MSM won’t run. The only part of it that isn’t true, is that our Dear Leader didn’t have the testicular fortitude to come out and say it.
What he did say is exactly what the tea party protesters were complaining about:
President Barack Obama, calling current deficit spending “unsustainable,” warned of skyrocketing interest rates for consumers if the U.S. continues to finance government by borrowing from other countries.
“We can’t keep on just borrowing from China,” Obama said at a town-hall meeting in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, outside Albuquerque. “We have to pay interest on that debt, and that means we are mortgaging our children’s future with more and more debt.”Holders of U.S. debt will eventually “get tired” of buying it, causing interest rates on everything from auto loans to home mortgages to increase, Obama said. “It will have a dampening effect on our economy.”
Kim Priestap points out the extreme hypocrisy of BHO’s behavior.
What a joke. Obama sends our deficit and debt levels into the stratosphere, and he has the nerve to actually lecture us about how dangerous that is. That is what the tea parties were all about. Hundreds of thousands of Americans took to the streets on April 15 to protest the outrageous spending the government has been doing under his watch, and what was his reaction? He ridiculed them. Then a few weeks later he goes to New Mexico and delivers a lecture about how irresponsible it is to spend money we don’t have. The gall.
Now that he has put us into the untenable position of having to borrow so much from China, he turns around and says we have to shore up health care. That means the government will spend even more money we don’t have to meddle in our lives.
That’s right kids, the Community Organizer in Chief is going to use this as an excuse to nationalize a large chunk of the National Economy. The same inefficient government hacks who run the Post Office
are going to be telling you what you can have for health care.
America elected a man with absolutely no executive experience what so ever and had never held a real job in his life. If you are surprised by his behavior, you haven’t been paying attention.

“Cap and Trade” means “Cap and Tax” in English.
“Hope and Change” means “Dope and Fail” in English.
And remember kids, “We have always been at war with Eastasia.”
Quote of the Day
Jim Treacher nails it concerning our Dear Leader.
“Voting for Obama because you don’t like politics is like eating 3 cheesecakes a day because you don’t like being fat.”
Monday Morning News
A group of college students said they are lucky to be alive and they’re thanking the quick-thinking of one of their own. Police said a fellow student shot and killed one of two masked men who burst into an apartment.
HT to Stephen Kruiser. I searched for this story on CNN and couldn’t find it. If the criminals had carried out their plan of robbery, rape and murder, the story would have been at the top of the news cycle.
Next, is this AP story that show that the early “stimulus” funds for road repair isn’t going where it is needed most.
Counties suffering the most from job losses stand to receive the least help from President Barack Obama’s plan to spend billions of stimulus dollars on roads and bridges, an Associated Press analysis has found.
In the really bad news front, prices for coffee and sugar ‘could “explode” due to supply shortages,’ according to the Financial Times.
Not surprising is the news that Team Lightbringer is planning another $60 Billion in new taxes.
On the WTF front, Fannie Mae is hitting the government up for more taxpayer money after losing $23.2 Billion dollars. Why did the executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac get millions in bonuses? What it because they are supported by democrat members of Congress?
ACORN insiders speak out

Why aren’t we seeing this on CNN?
So much for Transparency
Our Dear Leader clearly doesn’t want the American public informed on his planned changes to the 2010 Census.
Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke came to Denver on Wednesday to meet with the group charged with raising public awareness about the upcoming census and closed the session to the public and media.
I can see why he doesn’t want any more news about the far left extremist group ACORN, already charged with massive voter fraud, being hired to “count” citizens for the census.
The Silence of the Left
Dissenting Justice points out that our Dear Leader has adopted many of President George W. Bush’s policies that he and the far left attacked GWB for.
The silence from the left concerning our Dear Leader enacting the same policies is deafening and very, very predictable.
A good sign of were Obama’s loyalities lie
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics
By way of Michelle Malkin, Philip Klein at the American Spectator points out a very telling item in the very small number of actual budget cuts our Dear Leader has made.
…buried in the budget documents released by the White House today is a 9 percent cut in the unit of the Department of Labor that is in charge of regulating unions.
Under the leadership of Elaine Chao during the Bush administration, the Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards took its job of policing unions seriously. Its actions led to 929 convictions of corrupt union officials and to the recovery of more than $93 million on behalf of union members. Yet the Obama administration has proposed slashing its budget from $45 million in 2009 to $41 million in 2010, citing an insufficient “workload” for the office.
Instead of using the money to make sure unions play by the rules, the Obama administration proposes shifting resources to the department’s Wage and Hour Division, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration — all areas of the agency focused on regulating businesses.
What’s clear here is that this is another political payback for massive campaign donations to the democrat party and BHO.
Given more tax payer money for “regulation” of business by the federal government is just another anti-economy bonus for Team Lightbringer.
