Senate Democrats still shirking their duty
Filed under: Congress, economy, Obama Economy, Our Dear Leader, Politics
Senate Democrats are poised to continue their impressive streak of budgetary negligence on Wednesday by unanimously rejecting as many as five different budgets, including the one offered by President Obama. Republicans, meanwhile, are hoping that voters will pick up on the disturbing trend.
The Democratic-led Senate has not formally proposed a federal budget resolution in more than three years, and is not expected to offer one Wednesday. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) and Budget Committee chairman Kent Conrad (D., N.D.) have made explicitly clear that they have no intention of doing so before the November election.
Not only have the congressional democrats not proposed any budgets in the past three years, they have voted against every budget proposal brought before Congress, including budgets proposed by the leader of their party, our own Dear Leader, Barack Obama.
Could it be that the congressional democrats don’t want their agenda documented in way that easily accessible by the American people?

This is according to the latest Gallup state poll numbers. Remember that we don’t have a single national election for President, we have 50 state elections held on the same day.
The media’s skewed focus
Blonde Housewife posts the following accurate assessment of the media’s level of focus on Gov. Romney and our Dear Leader.
So we know Mit Romney picked on a kid in 1965. Swell. We still have not seen President Obama’s grades, former girlfriends, medical records or anyone that was ever instructed by him while he was allegedly a law professor. And he never heard a word of what Jeremiah Wright’s radical church said for 20 years. Or hanging out with a member of the Weather Underground who attempted to bomb 1 Police Plaza in New York City.
But we know the President supports gay marriage. Marvelous, he now shares the same opinion on the matter that Dick Cheney has. How forward thinking.
So anyway, the President is going to a 40 thousand dollar a plate fund raiser tonight at George Clooney’s house. And I should point out the fact that President Obama has been to more fundraisers than the last five Presidents. Combined.
And I still have yet to see the unemployment numbers being changed mentioned in the mainstream media today. Joseph Goebbels would be proud of the amount of interference they are running for this President.
The truth behind the unemployment numbers
Arnold Ahlert points out the reality behind the employment numbers over at FrontPage Mag.
When the jobs data were released last week, it was revealed that only 115,000 new jobs were created, well below the 165,000 predicted by the media-anointed economic “experts,” and significantly below the 125,000 jobs-per-month pace required just to keep pace with the number of people entering the work force. Yet in an apparent paradox, the unemployment rate dropped from 8.2 percent to 8.1 percent. Presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney explains half of it. “There is something about that 8.1 percent figure you ought to know,” he told a crowd at a town hall-style meeting in Cleveland yesterday. “You might assume that that number came down from 10 percent to 8.1 percent because of all the jobs that were created, and that assumption would be wrong. The reason that percent came down was because of all the people that dropped out of the workforce.”

Fast and Furious: Barack Obama’s Bloodiest Scandal and the Shameless Cover-Up by Katie Pavlich
Here are the details about the blood drenched Obama policy of supplying Mexican drug lords with firearms, while at the same time working to deny Americans their Second Amendment Rights. Not only have numerous Mexicans lost their lives to the Obama policy of having the ATF supply firearms to Mexican Drug cartels, US Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed by a Mexican drug cartel member using a weapon supplied by the Obama adminstration.

“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…
Quote of the Day

“According to the worst President in American history, “you’re on your own” economics, which apparently extended from the founding of the country until the day Barack Obama took office, didn’t work. Sure, it produced the most technologically advanced nation on the planet, the world’s largest economy, and made us into a super power, but that’s “madness” compared to Obamanomics, which cost us our AAA credit rating, has produced the longest streak of above 8% unemployment since the Great Depression, and is on track to produce 13 trillion dollars of debt over the next 10 years.
Listening to Barack Obama lecture ANYONE else on economics is like getting a lecture from Jimmy Carter on the proper way to execute a hostage rescue.”
democrat spokesperson Debbie Wasserman-Schultz gets blindsided by reality once again
Reality is not just the friend of the left. Wasserman-Schultz is clearly completely out of touch with reality.
He summed it up nicely:
Every now and then a politician gets blindsided by facts about which he or she knows absolutely nothing.
That is exactly what happened to Debbie Wasserman-Schultz on California’s KABC 790 AM.
The interview was conducted by Doug McIntyre, who from the very outset expressed his surprise/laughter that the DNC had selected former Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa as the chairman for the upcoming convention in Charlotte. He also expressed the fact that this sentiment was shared by many residents of Los Angeles who had to live/suffer under Mayor Villaraigosa.
McIntyre continued: “We understand it as casting because of the outreach for the Hispanic vote but I mean really? Antonio Villaraigosa?”
Wasserman-Schultz attempted to do her best to put lipstick on that pig, but she was clearly outmatched by someone with first-hand experience about how bad it is to live in a metropolitan environment under Democratic rule.
A Heartbeat from the Oval Office
Joe Biden, our current Vice-President and the anti-Dick Cheney, has managed to prove his level of competence once again.
Yup, this guy is more of a bullet proof vest than Dan Quayle ever was.
Inserting reality into Obama’s spin on Solyndra
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, economy, energy, Obama Economy, Obamaspeak, Our Dear Leader, Politics
“It is true that “Republicans and Democrats” approved a green energy loan guarantee program. But “Republicans and Democrats” did not approve this loan guarantee program. As FactCheck.org reminds us, the program under which Solyndra was handed $500 million in taxpayer money was authorized in the Obama/Reid/Pelosi partisan “stimulus” bill of 2009. Zero House Republicans voted for that law. Also, a previous Solyndra loan application was explicitly rejected by Bush-era actuaries because of its inherent soundness problems. Some of Obama’s bookkeepers continued to warn against its approval, but they were overruled by the White House political team because the president’s allies were determined to make the company the “poster child” of his green vision. That’s also why Obama ignored internal worries and held a big presidential photo-op at Solyndra’s (now-defunct) factory. The list goes on: Obama DOE officials sat in on Solyndra board meetings. One of Solyndra’s top investors, George Kaiser — who just happened to be a major Obama campaign donor — also just happened to make a flurry of White House visits right before the doomed loan was given the thumbs-up. Kaiser and the White House claimed they didn’t discuss Solyndra during those meetings. They lied. We also know that even after Solyndra defaulted on its initial loan, Obama’s Energy Department conveniently restructured the loan terms, assuring that investors like George Kaiser would be first in line to get paid if (when) the company went belly-up. Obama owns this mess, and he knows it. But he’s obfuscating and dissembling to save his own skin.”
