Helen Thomas: Obama worse than Nixon
As I noted before, even Helen Thomas, a devout liberal democrat, is objecting to the way our Dear Leader’s administration is, in her words, trying to control the press.
CNSNews has an update interview with long time White House Reporter Helen Thomas.
Helen Thomas told CNSNews.com that not even Richard Nixon tried to control the press the way President Obama is trying to control the press.
“Nixon didn’t try to do that,” Thomas said. “They couldn’t control (the media). They didn’t try.
“What the hell do they think we are, puppets?” Thomas said. “They’re supposed to stay out of our business. They are our public servants. We pay them.”
Our Dear Leader is trying to turn Washington, D.C., already corrupt enough, into a “Chicago on the Potomac.” What is Barack Hussein Obama trying to hide from the American People?
Schoolhouse Rock: “Tyrannosaurus Debt”
This is an actual Schoolhouse Rock episode from the 1990s. This next graph will help put just how much our Dear Leader plans on increasing our already too large debt by.
When your problem is massive federal debt, the solution is clearly not massively increasing the size of that debt. Clearly, our Dear Leader is more interested in implementing massive social chance, in a far left lurch to socialism, than he is in repairing damage done to the US economy by other liberal democrat attempts at social engineering.
White House Press corps corners Obama weasel Gibbs
By way of Say Anything Blog, members of the White House Press Corps, including Helen Thomas, are calling official White House weasel Gibbs on the complete control the the White House holds over their so-called “Town Hall” meetings. They are complete staged and scripted.
Even Helen Thomas, a devout liberal democrat, is objecting to the way our Dear Leader‘s administration is trying to control the press.
Just what is it that Barack Hussein Obama is trying to hide from the American people?
Now that is just harsh
One of the strongest factors in our Dear Leader’s election was that he was not George W. Bush. The far left really hated our former President and demonized him at every opportunity.
Many of those who voted for our Dear Leader did so in hopes that he would immediately reverse every policy of GWB and that unicorns would start pooping Skittles ™. Ya, ya. Obviously reality wasn’t their strong point, or checking up on our Dear Leader‘s history.
Well, reality has reared it’s ugly head and not only has Barack Hussein Obama not closed the Islamofascist detention center at Gitmo, he’s announced that he, like President George W. Bush, plans on holding some of them indefinitely. A policy that made BDS sufferers foam at the mouth when GWB announced it.
Add to that this bit of data. During the election, many liberals complained that President Bush was running the national debt up too high and the Communist Chinese government owned too much of that debt. A lot of fiscal conservatives agreed with them on that. After the election, the fiscal conservatives stuck by their principles and most liberals abandoned theirs as our Dear Leader raised the national debt in six months an amount that it took GWB eight years to reach, selling most of that new debt to the Communist Chinese government.
Facts like these, are causing some honest liberals to describe our Dear Leader as “Bush on Steroids” or “George W. Obama“, and they don’t mean it as a compliment.
democrat Culture of Corruption marches on
Detroit City Councilwoman Monica Conyers, a democrat and wife of democrat congressman John Conyers (more on him later), has pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit bribery according the Justice Department.
Hard left democrat Monica Conyers “had been under investigation for allegedly accepting bribes from a consultant in connection with a City Council vote to approve a $1.2 billion sludge hauling contract”, according the to the Washington Times.
You may remember Ms. Conyers. She was involved in an “open discussion on race” a few months ago.
Speakers advocating for the deal were taunted by the crowd and cut short by Council President Monica Conyers [the wife of House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers], who presided over the hearing like an angry bulldog; whites were advised by the citizens to, “Go home.”
Opponents were allowed to rant and ramble on uninterrupted about “those people” who want to steal Detroit’s assets and profit from the city’s labors.
A pitiful Teamster official who practically crawled to the table on his knees expressing profuse respect for this disrespectful body was battered by both the crowd and the council.
When he dared suggest that an improved Cobo Center would create more good-paying jobs for union workers, Conyers reminded him, “Those workers look like you; they don’t look like me.”
Desperate, he invoked President Barack Obama’s message of unity and was angrily warned, “Don’t you say his name here.”
So, not only is Monica Conyers a racist, she’s a corrupt racist. The very model of a modern democrat.
Cap & Tax update
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Environment, Politics
First off, the socialists over at Greenpeace (Hey! Don’t look at me. One of the founders quit after it was hijacked by socialists, that’s his story) oppose the democrat‘s Cap & Tax scheme. They claim it’s “not Science-Based; Benefits Polluters.” In this case, they are probably right.
Then there are 9 damned good reasons why some U.S. environmentalists should heartily oppose Waxman-Markey.
Next we have our Dear Leader‘s political appointees at the EPA suppressing real scientific research and studies that don’t agree with the left’s political agenda
The dems are trying to shove this through after blocking hundreds of Republican amendments and then adding a 300+ page amendment of their own under the cover of darkness last night. What are they hiding from the American people?
ACORN thugs attack members of the NY Senate
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Politics, When democrats attack
NewsDay reports that
Protesters closely aligned with Democrats nearly knocked a Republican senator to the floor and are accused of spitting in the face of his chief of staff.
Sen. James Alesi, of Monroe County, walked out of the chamber later Thursday, not seriously harmed. He said he was disturbed by the crowd of at least 150 people, including those from Citizen Action the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN.
Keep in mind that violence from the left nothing new.
Morning Roundup
Let’s start with crude oil prices continuing their climb to rise above $71 a barrel. Remember what happened last summer with a sharp spike in oil prices? That’s right kids, a companion sharp spike in inflation! Pretty much everything you buy had to be shipped in, at least part of the way, by truck. A spike in inflation, especially in food prices, is a tax on everyone, with the poor the hardest hit. What is our Dear Leader going to do about it? The answer to that question is, not a damn thing. Remember that he thinks gas prices up around $4 or $5 a galleon is a “good thing.” He’s doesn’t have to drive the kids around or commute to work, so why should he care if it affects you?
According to Industry Week, the democrat‘s Cap and Tax scheme is a really bad idea for the American economy.
John at Powerline points out that “The days when “whistle blowers” were popular on the left are gone”. The moonbat view is that anyone who dares to “investigate an Obama crony” deserves whatever they get.
While on the topic of our Dear Leader‘s illegal firing of Gerald Walpin, the inspector general of AmeriCorps, Byron York has some advice on how to see that truth gets out.
Michelle Malkin has a story on ObamaCare that our Dear Leader and his cronies don’t want you to read.
According to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, the democrats’ $1 Trillion Health Care Plan will Cost 23 Million Americans their Private Insurance.
Some leftist homosexuals are starting to figure out that our Dear Leader and the DNC have used them as “useful idiots”. Dudes (and dudettes, and whatever sexual identity you may have), it was clearly obvious to anyone not blinded by an overdose of BDS that you were going to get thrown under the bus by BHO! If you are finally getting serious, not only do you need to stop supporting the democrats, but start firmly supporting the Libertarian Party. It’s the only party that truly doesn’t care what consenting adults do or with each other and strongly believes that it’s none of the government’s business either. Until you do that, the DNC is just going to keep screwing you over in ways you don’t like!
A pattern of abuse and denial at the Obama White House
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics
Another update in our Dear Leader‘s blatantly political firing of an Investigator General for doing his job by finding corruption by BHO’s political appointees.
First Byron York writes in the Washington Examiner about how the Obama White House Special Counsel to the President for Ethics and Government Reform refuses to answer direct questions from a Senate investigation on matter of the firing of IG Walpin.
What is the Obama administration hiding? My bet is that is the actual truth of the matter is the last thing Team Lightbringer wants to see the light of day.
Next is a Chicago Tribune story, by way of Hot Air, that points out that the Obama White House has a pattern of firing IG’s that don’t toe their strictly political line, instead of doing their job and protecting the taxpayers.
This IG, Neil Barofsky, pointed out that there were “insufficient safeguards on Porkulus spending.”
What is clear is that Barack Hussein Obama and his administration will not stand for anyone questioning their actions, especially government employees who’s job is to undercover fraud and waste and government spending. This is the “transparency” of Team Lightbringer.
Whining is not leadership
Bob at Black & Right points out that our Dear Leader is complaining that the entire news media is not acting as the propaganda arm of his administration. BHO expressed his dismay on CNBC.
I’ve got one television station that is entirely devoted to attacking my administration…. That’s a pretty big megaphone. You’d be hard pressed if you watched the entire day to find a positive story about me on that front.
What a whiny crybaby. He has one single cable news network that isn’t proclaiming him “a God”, or stating that their job is promote his administration, and he complains about it on national TV.
Bob nailed the utter hypocrisy of our Dear Leader‘s childish rant.
If memory serves ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, MSNBC, CNBC, CNN, PBS, HBO, Hollywood, the New York Times, Washington Post, Daily Kos, Democratic Underground, Democracy Now!, and hundreds of other newspapers, websites, radio programs, etc. were “devoted to attacking” the very Bush Administration the new president blames for everything at every opportunity.
President Pantywaist sounds just about right.
The joke back in the 2008 primaries was that if Hillary Rodham Clinton gave Barack Hussein Obama one of her balls, then they would both have a pair.
Lot of truth to that joke. HRC is much more than twice the man Barry will ever be.
At least she complained about a “vast right wing conspiracy” that was against her and aggressively fought back. BHO is crying because a single cable news organization isn’t bowing down and genuflecting to him.
