“Your Papers Please!” Part 2
As in Part 1, we are not talking about the Arizona law that has wide support among Arizonian citizens.
The evil, anti-civil rights group that is demanding that these kids prove their citizenship, the Obama White House. That’s right, Barack Hussein Obama, current President of these here United States and head of the democrat party.
Our Dear Leader wants a photo op at an American high school, and plans on personally shaking the hand of every graduating senior. Before these high school kids from a “fly over state” are going to be allowed near BHO, who BTW called the recent Arizona law “misguided” and ordered the Justice Department to investigate to see whether the law violates civil rights of illegal aliens, they will have to produce for the authorities:
- Their full name
- Date of Birth
- Social Security Number
- Proof of Citizenship
The smell of the leftist hypocrisy is pretty thick on this Charlie Fox.
“Your Papers Please!”
Nope, not talking about Arizona, but what congressional Democrats and our Dear Leader want for all Americans.
A national ID card with embedded biometric information that all Americans will be required to carry and show.
Yup, this is going to truly annoy Libertarians and classic Liberals (the folks who’s party got hijacked by socialists).
When Obama said he wanted to be a “uniter”, I don’t think this is what most of the “useful idiots” who voted for him had in mind.
A damn good question
Filed under: Environment, Media Bias, Our Dear Leader, Politics
Far Left Extremist Bill Maher asks:
‘Why Isn’t Barack Obama Getting More S–t For This’ Oil Spill?
Maher used to be a stand up comic, i.e. someone who made their living by observing humanity and asking the questions other people missed. That is exactly what he is doing here. He is pointing out the obscene level of hypocrisy being shown by the MSM.
MAHER: I’ll tell you who I’m really mad at which is Barack Obama. Couple of weeks ago, the President, our President said, “It turns out the oil rigs today generally don’t cause oil spills. They are technologically very advanced.” Now if, if I was quoting George Bush, this crowd would be laughing in hysterics.
LAURA TYSON, ECONOMIST AND FORMER CLINTON ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL: Yes they would.
MAHER: So, why isn’t Barack Obama getting more shit for this? I think he should.
This oil spill is Obama’s Katrina, and if the MSM was mildly honest, that is how they would be reporting this story.
Obama White House is starting to push for a VAT tax
For those of you who don’t know what a VAT tax is, it’s a tax on everything paid by everyone.
Given the massive debts our Dear Leader and the democrat congress have run up since taking control of the government, and their plans to keep spending, they need a way to fleece even more money from the American people. The VAT tax they are talking up is certainly one way to do it, as long as you don’t care about the negative effects on the economy. Since actually working to improve the economy clearly isn’t anywhere on the agenda for the Obama administration or Congressional democrats, keep your eye out for a federal VAT tax.
Obama puts a stop to the popular off shore drilling option
Barbara Hollingsworth reports in the DC Examiner:
The Obama administration’s six-month delay in approving new offshore drilling leases in federal waters will become a new three-year ban, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar quietly told reporters last Friday. Which means that no new oil and gas leases will be approved during President Obama’s term even though two –thirds of the American public supports such activity, according to a December 2009 Rasmussen poll.
…
“Secretary Salazar has finally confirmed what had long been feared – that the Obama Administration has no intention of opening up new areas for offshore drilling during his four-years in office,” said Rep. Doc Hastings, the ranking Republican on the House Natural Resources Committee.So for the next three years and probably more, trillions of dollars in domestic energy assets will remain untouched while billions of dollars more are spent on foreign oil.
Clearly, as in the Health Care “debate”, our Dear Leader has absolutely no interest in what the American People, whom he was elected to represent, care about in a vitally important subject. The President’s ban on domestic energy sources also tells us that he has no interest in halting rising energy costs or taking any steps toward improving the economy. Opening up these resources will immediately create many “shovel ready” good paying jobs, providing a short term benefit to the economy as well as long term benefits. Why is our Dear Leader opposed to actually improving the US economy?
House Speaker Pelosi needs a few basic civics classes
San Fran Nan (a.k.a. Nancy Pelosi, democrat – San Francisco & Speaker of the US House of Representatives) has said that Congress needs to pass ObamaCare so that the public can find out what’s in the bill.
Reality to democrat Speaker of the House Pelosi: Tell the people first, and then they will tell their Representatives in Congress if they want them to vote for it. That is how the system works.
What is in that bill that you are so afraid of the American People finding out?
The Culture of Corruption Marches On…
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics
We still have the ongoing saga of tax cheat and democrat congressman from New York, Charles Rangel.
Now we have our Dear Leader handing out federal judgeships in an attempt to buy votes in his own party for his massively unpopular Obamacare Charlie Fox. As Ms. Malkin says, it looks like a quid pro quo, smells like a quid pro quo, and quacks like a quid pro quo.
This is either a clear case of flat out corruption or the Obama administration is so dangerously incompetent that they didn’t see the connection between this key vote and an federal judgeship appointment. Either way, it’s not good for America.
Joe Biden: The anti-Dick Cheney
I have to give my brother credit for this one. He came up with the phrase a couple of weeks ago, before the current Sunday talk show shots by the former VP and the twit who currently holds the office.
First off, let us review some history. How did Dick Cheney become Vice-President of the United States of America? Well, while George W. Bush was cleaning up in the GOP primaries for the 2000 Presidential election, his team started thinking about a VP pick. First they looked at the man at the top of the ticket. A popular governor of one the largest and most populous states, a successful business career in the private sector, a former fighter pilot (flying an all weather interceptor, with a reputation for being tricky to fly, in the Gulf of Mexico during the Cold War), and was the son of former Vice-President and President, George H.W. Bush. Given all that, the thought was that he could be stronger in foreign policy, so the decision was made to shore that up with the VP pick. That leads us to Dick Cheney, with a very impressive foreign policy resume, including serving as Secretary of Defense.
Ok, now let us skip ahead about eight years. The democrats are about to turn the conventional wisdom on its ear and nominate, not Hillary Rodham Clinton, but some unknown first term Senator from a fly over state, as their Presidential candidate. Let’s review the resume of Barack Hussein Obama. Harvard Law, pretty good there, but what did he do with it? Well, he never held a private sector job. He was elected to the Illinois state senate after getting his two opponents in the primary removed on a technicality at the last minute. Once in the state senate, his most common vote by far was “present.” Then he was elected to the US Senate after the sealed divorce records of his opponent were “somehow” obtained and leaked to a pro-Obama journalist. Once in the Senate, he immediately started his run for the President’s office, spending less than 200 days actually performing his $175,000 a year job as a US Senator. The democrats had a candidate with a painfully thin resume, and absolutely zero foreign policy experience. So who did they pick for his running mate? Yup, Joey Biden. The Senator who was washed out of the primaries as soon as the first batch of voters got to express their views on the subject. The same Senator Biden whose last run for the President’s office was derailed when his history of plagiarism was exposed. Joe Biden, the one US Senator who only served in the leadership roles he could not be denied because of his time in office.
Joe Biden, who has singular reputation in Washington, D.C. for embarrassing himself, and his party, pretty much every time he opens his mouth (although the teleprompter adlib at the Air Force Academy was pretty good). Joe Biden, who as a long and spectacular career of being flat out wrong on just about anything he opens his mouth about.
So what did Joe Biden add to the ticket? The only thing that makes sense is that Barack Hussein Obama was secure in knowing that Joey Biden would never, ever upstage him. Obama is a more than a bit like the fictional character, Zaphod Beeblebrox, who said,” If there’s anything around here more important than my ego, I want it caught and shot now!” Where Dick Cheney was selected as Vice-President for his experience and gravitas, Joe Biden was selected for his lack of experience and lack of gravitas. He is the Anti-Dick Cheney.
Imagine the media outcry if G.W. Bush had made this mistake.
By way of Resist Tyranny comes this video:
As RT notes:
The teleprompter apparently displayed the word speled correctly: c-o-r-p-s-m-a-n. But he pronounced it “corpse-man.” Twice. Conclusion? Barack Hussein Obama is militarily illiterate.
This is just another example of how deep our Dear Leader‘s lack of experience runs, and how bad his teleprompter addiction is.
Update: Hot Air makes the probably spot on Ron Burgundy comparison.
Obama “Budget”: $1.1 Trillion in new taxes
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics, Taxes
BOHICA America! Our Dear Leader is proposing $1.1 Trillion in new taxes. Kiss any idea of an economic recovery anytime soon goodbye!
Before you Fiscal Conservatives start complaining, remember that democrat House “leader” Nancy Pelosi needs your money so her family can fly on Air Force jets to avoid dealing with rabble like you.
Update: To go with that $1.1 Trillion in new taxes is $1.6 Trillion in new debt! Is this the Change you were Hoping for? Probably not.
