Obama Lying About Iran Nuclear Accord?

According to Iranian officials, Barack Obama is lying about the much-ballyhooed (and booed!) nuclear accord reached in Geneva last Sunday morning.

The issue involves Iran’s claim that is has an inalienable “right to enrich” and that that right was affirmed in the interim accord.

Specifically, as reported:

Iranian officials say that the White House is misleading the public about the details of an interim nuclear agreement reached over the weekend in Geneva.

Iran and Western nations including the United States came to an agreement on the framework for an interim deal late Saturday night in Geneva. The deal has yet to be implemented

The White House released a multi-page fact sheet containing details of the draft agreement shortly after the deal was announced.

However, an Iranian foreign ministry official on Tuesday rejected the White House’s version of the deal as “invalid” and accused Washington of releasing a factually inaccurate primer that misleads the American public.”

The big question: Did Obama promise Iran, “You can keep your centrifuges” and then renege on that promise in order to sell the deal to the American people? 

Has Barack Obama reached the point where he cannot be believed on ANYTHING?

food+stamps.jpg



By John W. Lillpop

As the worst and dullest in our nation fast on behalf of amnesty for invading criminals, an unintended consequence has resulted:

An unprecedented glut in the supply of food stamps has bureaucrats in the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) in a panic over what to do with all those unused food stamps.

A USDA spokesman reports that the glut is so severe that agency broadcasts (in Spanish) into Mexico to promote food stamps has been scaled back to just two shifts, leaving the graveyard shift and tens of millions of illegal alien wannabes in Mexico grossly underrepresented.

Domestically, food stamp gluts have become pandemic in California, Texas, and Georgia where millions of illegal aliens have joined the fast to protest the lack of respect for Mexican culture and tradition.

Highlighting the “Fast for Families” scam, Vice President Joe Biden made a surprise visit to the D.C. Mall and passed along his great wisdom with these words:

“As my father would say, come hell or high water, we’re going to win this,” Biden said.”

Those who know the VP have observed that the last time he was this giddy was at the signing ceremony for Obamacare when the VP hugged Barack Obama and gushed joyfully, “This is a big f****** deal!

And so it is that the American people wait to see if the US Congress will repeat the insanity of Obamacare by making legal 11-40 million invading criminals.

If so, this well be an even bigger “f****** deal!”

JFK.jpg
By John W. Lillpop


Today we remember the life, death and legacy of John F. Kennedy, 35th President of the United States. Fondly remembered by many Americans as “Camelot.”

One of the more remarkable quotes from the brief JFK presidency was delivered during his inaugural speech on January 20, 1961, when he said:

"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”



Fifty years later, those inspiring words seem to have been lost on the American people as scores of millions, citizens and non-citizens alike, now rely on government for many of the basic needs of living.

Indeed, as indicated at the reference, 49.2 percent of Americans now receive benefits from one or more government programs:


In the fourth quarter of 2011, 49.2 percent of Americans received benefits from one or more government programs, according to data released Tuesday by the Census Bureau.

In total, the Census Bureau estimated, 151,014,000 Americans out of a population then estimated to be 306,804,000 received benefits from one or more government programs during the last three months of 2011. Those 151,014,000 beneficiaries equaled 49.2 percent of the population.

This included 82,457,000 people--or 26.9 percent of the population--who lived in households in which one or more people received Medicaid benefits.

Also among the 151,014,000 who received benefits from one or more government programs during that period: 49,901,000 who collected Social Security; 49,073,000 who got food stamps; 46,440,000 on Medicare; 23,228,000 in the Women, Infants and Children program, 20,223,000 getting Supplemental Security Income;13,433,000 who lived in public or subsidized rental housing; 5,098,000 who got unemployment; 3,178,000 who got veterans' benefits; and 364,000 who got railroad retirement benefits.”

Today, politicians vigorously encourage an entitlement mentality as a means for securing and retaining political power. All too often, Americans are brainwashed to believe that government perks (paid for by others), are guaranteed by the US Constitution and are, therefore, inalienable.

This sort of government insanity even extends beyond the US borders. 

For example, the United States Department of Agriculture(USDA) broadcasts information, in Spanish, about the availability of food stamps into Mexico, either as a service to the illegal alien population living in the US and/ or as a lure to attract even more invaders. 

Again, the perks are advertised with no mention of whom pays the bills. 

And we wonder why the economy is in shambles and the national debt is completely out of control?

America would be greatly served by a return to the Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For You…” ideal in the Oval office and in the halls of Congress!

When it comes to immigration policy, the US objective should be to reward the “best and brightest” of those seeking to come to America with the most coveted citizenship in the entire world.

Indeed, the objective should be to recruit those who will make America stronger and better, rather than pandering to no- account louses and losers whom have ignored our borders and laws and whom can add nothing to the greatest nation on earth.

Tragically, most politicians in the Democrat Party and certain Rinos in the GOP are willing to forgo American sovereignty, Exceptionalism, and the rule of law in order to play political nicety with unworthy invaders from south of our border.

Why? What in the hell is wrong with politicians who no longer care about the well-being of American citizens, and whom favor miscreant invaders who should not even be here, much less endowed with US citizenship?

America is not well. We have a $17 trillion federal deficit, trillions more in future obligations for which there is not funding, savagely- tenacious unemployment and underemployment, and racial tensions at the boiling point.

Given what is going on in America today, how does it make sense to deliberately import tens of millions of uneducated, illiterate, non-English speaking, low-skill peasants with a history of ignoring the rule of law, including tax evasion?

Just what do 11-30 million invaders bring to the table, other than poverty, illiteracy, ignorance, and disease?

America simply does not need and, cannot afford, 11-30 million invaders and the problems they bring.

The era of America being the dumping grounds for undesirables from third-world failed states like Mexico must 
end. NOW!

Guess Who Is Itching to Delay Obamacare Now?



By John W. Lillpop


After two completely unnecessary weeks of government shutdown precipitated by the ego-maniacal refusal of Barack Obama and Democrat goons in Congress to even talk with Republicans, much less negotiate, the pendulum is starting to swing in favor of common sense and against progressives and their political albatross, the ungodly, unlovable, unfathomable, unaffordable, unwieldy, and unworkable Marxist scheme, known with universal scorn and disaffection as Obamacare.

Indeed, the operative phrase in Washington, D.C. these days seems to be, “Move over, Ted Cruz!” as anxious Democrats scheduled to face voters for re-election in 2014 are echoing the words of the embattled freshman Senator from Texas with calls to put the brakes on the “Train wreck” before professional health care is obliterated entirely from America.


As reported at the reference:

Sen. Joe Manchin on Wednesday said he plans to back Republican legislation that would delay ObamaCare’s individual mandate to have insurance.

The West Virginia Democrat is set to announce during Wednesday night’s “The O'Reilly Factor” that he's joining forces with Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) on legislation that would delay the penalty by a year.

The host of the Fox show, Bill O’Reilly, on Tuesday encouraged Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) to recruit Manchin to sponsor the legislation, which would postpone the requirement until users can consistently access the ObamaCare website.

"Well, we're going to give everybody a chance to be on the right side of this," Rubio said. "Eventually they're going to have to do something about it. Because it's going to take more than a few months to fix these websites, and it's going to be unfair to go after people for not buying health insurance when the ability to buy it is not being made available."

Manchin has long voiced his opposition to the mandate, which would require uninsured individuals to either purchase health coverage or pay a fine. 

Supporters of ObamaCare say its necessary to offset the costs involved with benefits now available under the program, such as making sure people with preexisting conditions could purchase coverage.

Manchin's move comes as Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) said Wednesday the Obama administration should extend the enrollment period for those looking to purchase healthcare due to the problems with the federal enrollment site. He joins Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), who on Tuesday became the first Senate Democrat to join Republicans in asking for an extension.

"I believe, given the technical issues, it makes sense to extend the time for people to sign up," Pryor said in a statement. "In addition, the Administration should state clearly how the enforcement mechanism will work if people can’t sign up in time. We all want to see the law work, and I hope the Administration will take a hard look at this reasonable suggestion."

White House press secretary Jay Carney on Wednesday sidestepped a question about whether the administration would consider a delay in the law's individual mandate, although the spokesman did hint that the administration did not view that move as warranted.”

Bottom Line: With 17 percent of the national economy and their cushy, high-pay jobs at risk, some Democrats are finally able to see beyond the snake-oil proffered by their fallen Messiah, Barack Obama. 

All of which is making “Cruz Cadets” out of Democrats who just days ago were “celebrating” their victory in the deadly game of chicken waged against the American people.

Take heart, Ted Cruz: You were dead right, and your vindication is nigh!

As every one knows,  Barack Hussein Obama has a full plate, and then some.  And because his better half is  an unhinged food hypocrite with brass knuckles and a cold, black heart,  the community organizer’s plate is always  loaded with carrots, celery, cottage cheese, plain lettuce, fat-free yogurt and other non-savory bulk that most school children would refuse to eat.
 
Thus, the only spice in Barack’s bleak existence comes from making life miserable for the greatest  number of  Americans.
 
 
At the very  top of Obama’s Misery to Inflict to do list is  dumping the best health-care system on the planet into the Potomac,  in favor of a Marxist health-care system that the majority of Americans, including labor unions and young people, simply detest.
 
The One’s plate is also crowded with plans for a war against Syria which, much like Obamacare, nobody but he much favors;  a wretched economy which continues to evade recovery and good jobs because of the prez’s job-killing policies; a nearly $17 trillion dollar deficit which, when half that amount in 2006, prompted then- Senator Obama to attack the Bush administration as ‘irresponsible’ and ‘unpatriotic’ for proposing to raise the debt ceiling; and of course, The One  works non-stop to keep the government in shutdown with a keen eye on the 2014 elections and his dream of returning Nancy Pelosi  as Speaker of the House, from where she can complete the transformation of America into a third-world, Marxist hell hole. 
 
With all of that, plus several “phony scandals” to manage, The One barely has enough time to work on creating the daily lies needed to BS the American people about his ill-conceived Obama Care.
 
Still, whenever BHO finds a spare moment, or two, free from proliferating the vile rhetoric which he uses when his poll numbers  erode, he always manages to weigh in on an issue sure to whet the sinister appetites of low information dupes, commonly known as OmabaMites. 
 
Namely, racial politics.
 
BHO’s latest racial canard involves the earth-shattering question of whether or not the Washington football team should be allowed to call themselves “Redskins,” as they have done for the past 80 years.
As reported at in the media, BHO comes down on the side of finding racial abuse and discrimination wherever it can be found, or, if need be, fabricated: 
 
Meanwhile, as BHO ponders the imponderable impact of the Redskins moniker on the fragile psyches of millions of ultra-sensitive government dependents, the nation continues to fall into the abyss of third-world dysfunction and decline.
 
Just to cool the environment a bit, perhaps Redskins should be re-named to match Obama’s unique sensitivity and heightened concern for others?
 
How about the “Washington Special Olympians,” sir?

Although she has been driven from her position with the IRS and is supposedly no longer involved with that dysfunctional, and perhaps at times criminal, wing of the Democrat Party, the spirit of Lois Lerner appears to be alive and well as the agency continues it shameless abuse of authority against Americans for political purposes.

The latest victim of the ongoing “Phony scandal” waged by the IRS against Barack Obama’s enemies looks to be Dr. Ben Carson, as reported at the reference:



Tea party groups, Franklin Graham, Christine O'Donnell, a pro-marriage group. And now Dr. Ben Carson.

The list of conservatives targeted by the Internal Revenue Service for audits, tax-exempt reviews or tax privacy breaches keeps growing, raising fresh questions in Washington about whether a scandal the Obama administration has blamed on bureaucratic incompetence and coincidence may in fact involve something more nefarious.

The latest revelation came Thursday from Dr. Carson, the renowned neurosurgeon who told The Washington Times that he was targeted for an audit just months after he gave a speech in front of President Obama that challenged America’s leadership. The agency requested to review his real estate holdings and then conducted a full audit.

In the end, the IRS found no wrongdoing, Dr. Carson said, but it raised his suspicions about being singled out for his speech.

“I guess it could be a coincidence, but I never had been audited before and never really had any encounters with the IRS,” Dr. Carson said in an interview. “But it certainly would make one suspicious because we know now the IRS has been used for political purposes and therefore actions like this come under suspicion.”

Melanie Sloan, head of the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) and a former Justice Department prosecutor during the Clinton years, said she had not been that concerned about the IRS reviews of the growing number of tea party groups but the story of Dr. Carson’s audit raised red flags.

“I have not been particularly persuaded in the past with the IRS targeting of the tea party groups. But this one seems a little odd. This certainly raises questions that I assume someone will begin to investigate,” she said.”


Assuming that an investigation will be convened is but a silly fairy tale, at least in the US Senate, given the work load and agenda of Majority Leader Harry Reid and his supporting cast of liberal goons who spend all of their time and energy keeping the US government shut down. 

Remember that it was the cheeky Reid who just last week chided a reporter for suggesting that the Democrats might abandon their shutdown strategy long enough to address the life and death needs of a young girl afflicted with cancer. 

‘Why would we want to do that?'
 replied Reid in a cold and ruthless moment of unintended transparency that exposed liberal compassion as one of the greatest frauds in modern political history.

Investigate the IRS for using “Nixonian” tactics and abuse against an American who is vocal in opposing the tyranny of Barack Obama?

One can almost hear Harry Reid whispering his reply, “Why would we want to do that?”

Recent reports suggest that the reported death of amnesty in the US House may have been a bit premature.

Indeed, it appears that some Republicans, all of whom should know better, are favorably disposed toward a sweeping “Get out of Jail” card for tens of millions of invading criminals who have ignored US borders and immigration laws, and who all too often avail themselves of public services to which they are not entitled. 

American sovereignty, the rule of law, and fundamental fairness seem to be out of vogue in the scrambled minds of some otherwise good Republicans.

There is a word of caution that must be delivered to any and all wobbly Republicans considering the unseemly surrender of superior American values and culture to third-world parasites from south of our borders:

Namely, the insidious disaster known as ObamaCare cannot survive without enrolling tens of millions of uneducated peasants currently known as illegal aliens!

Which is why Marxist pin heads like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have pushed amnesty so vigorously. Progressives must import impoverished, non- English speaking criminals in order to make a go of the newly minted entitlement needed to put the finishing touches on the demise of the greatest society in human history.

Thus, to good Republicans who oppose ObamaCare, remember: A vote for amnesty is a vote for ObamaCare!

Satire by John W. Lillpop


Shutting down the United States government is very serious business, not to be taken lightly or flippantly. Our government is, after all, a huge coalition of incompetent bureaucrats engaged in entirely meaningless activities resulting in wasteful spending on grand scale, not seen elsewhere in our universe, and perhaps even beyond.

Imagine the vast vacuum that will be created when hundreds of thousands of otherwise unemployable loons like Lois Lerner are not clogging the highways and byways of our nation’s capitol, and not spending your great, great grandchildren into abject poverty. 

Consider, too, the possible return of sanity to our decaying republic if the Oval Office is shuttered and boarded leaving The One with nothing to do but golf and work on his ESPN basketball picks for the 2014 Spring Madness debacle just six months hence!

Furloughing Barack Obama may be the only thing that can save America from the dual vices of bankruptcy and Sharia law!

And what if the shutdown included the State Department where boss man John Kerry, who once threw his military medals over the fence in the front of the White House to protest the Vietnam war, is forced to while away the hours on his sail boat instead of working 24/7 to toss the 2nd Amendment to wolves at the United Nations?

A shutdown may give We the People a chance to “Swift boat” Kerry once again. 

And how might we all benefit if Ben Bernanke’s printing press was moth balled for a while, bringing an abrupt pause to the Quantitative Easing madness which will be unnecessary once the Obama spending addiction is treated?

What if coal-hating buzzards at the EPA were sent home, putting a hold on the evil plan to eliminate a private American industry via government fiat? How many jobs could be salvaged in the coal producing states?

And what if dedicated anarchists at Treasury who send monthly foreign aid checks to Mexico, Egypt, and other dysfunctional third-world nations were unable to send those checks starting October 1?

Imagine walking through an airport without being mauled by sexual predators posing as TSA agents!

Best of all, a shutdown could mean that the IRS would be unable to spend tax dollars to willfully promote the Democrat Party, and that those 16,000 heads which were to be hired for Obamacare can instead seek more suitable work as loan sharks and street prostitutes. 

On and on the list goes. 

A government shutdown could be the equivalent of every American citizen sharing in a multi-trillion-dollar power ball jackpot, without even buying a ticket.

Government shutdown good for America? Hell yes, in fact it may be our only hope for survival!

With his daring, unrelenting search for truth in the US Senate last week, Ted Cruz has established himself as the anti-establishment rebel America needs to thwart the malicious Marxism of Harry Reid and Barack Obama.
 
Sick of Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, John McCain and other RINO abominations? Of course, we all are.
 
Good news may be just around the corner as 2014 elections near.  
 
When the GOP takes the Senate from the tired, old corrupt hands of Harry Reid in 2014, Ted Cruz will be the most logical choice to serve as Majority Leader!
 
Imagine that: Ted Cruz, Senate Majority Leader!
 
Some will resist, knowing that Cruz could be the GOP’s best chance to end the harmful career of Hillary Clinton in 2016.
 
That may be, but he can do both! What better stage than the US Senate to lead the nation out of the Marxist morass of Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid?
 
As Senate Majority Leader, Ted Cruz can show his talents in advance of 2016 and avoid another spectacular failure of the sort that voting for a Marxist community organizer dumped on America.
 
Ted Cruz could use the Senate to begin the de-Obamaization of the world’s greatest Democracy while setting the tables for an all-conservative government in 2016!
 
Conservatives  can fundamentally re-transform America to the greatness of the pre-Obama era!  We need Ted Cruz to lead the way!

Most sane people, occasionally including President Barack Obama, other leading Democrats, as well as the incoming director of the IRS, all agree that the ongoing targeting scandal involving the IRS vendetta against conservative organizations was an unmitigated outrage, perhaps unconstitutional and or illegal, definitely un-American, and in need of urgent remedial action to assure there is no repeat.

Mind you, the operative words are SANE people

On the other hand, you have the likes of Rep. Jim McDermott, far- left loon from Washington state, who has dedicated his miserable life to lowering the bar on expectations for ethics and fairness from government agencies.

At a House Committee hearing on IRS misconduct, Rep. McDermott used his bullying mouth in a failed attempt to shift the blame for the IRS crimes to the victims, those conservative organizations with the audacity to use terms like “Patriot” and “Tea Party” in their applications for tax exempt status.

McDermott’s pitiful slobbering on behalf of the fund-raising wing of the DNC—the IRS—was an embarrassment, not only to the good people of Washington, but to each and every American who has been in the clutches of uncontrolled tyranny such as that practiced by an out-of-control IRS.

As reported at the reference, McDermott chased common sense and intellectual honesty from the Hill with inane comments like this:


“Each of your groups is highly political,” the congressman said. “From opposing the President’s healthcare reform, to abortion restrictions, to gay marriage, you’re all entrenched in some of the most controversial political issues in this country – and with your applications you are asking the American public to pay for that work. Many of you host and endorse candidates. The line between permitted political activity and non-permitted political activity can be very fine, and it’s important that tax payers know which side you fall on.”

The obvious rejoinder is to ask the bloated Representative how in the hell it was that a Barack Obama family member was able to apply for, and receive, tax-free status within 30 days? Or how it was that the Lois Lerner gangsters did not target liberal organizations “entrenched in controversial political issues”?

Luck of the draw, Representative McDermott?

With any luck at all, the good people of Washington state will come to their collective senses in November 2014, Representative, and send you to retire in much deserved misery!

To date, Barack Obama has enjoyed an overwhelming advantage among women in his reelection bid. Part of this unfair advantage is attributable to Obama’s entitlement gifts for lady voters, especially tax- payer funded abortions and contraception.

Even though Obama’s entitlement bribery could cost taxpayers billions and add unnecesarily to the deficit, to a failed president seeking reelection such expenses are seen as worthwhile “investments” in America’s future.

Indeed, in their zeal to secure the female vote, Obama-bats may have crossed the line of prudence and decency (AGAIN)! with their ill-conceived ad which asks women to vote with their “Lady Parts.”

As reported at reference 1, the Lady Parts spiel was not universally accepted as witty and clever:

Turns out a number of women are a tad uncomfortable with the President of the United States making reference to their "lady parts." After the Obama campaign posted an e-card today featuring a flapper-style lady with the words, "Vote like your lady parts depend on it," viral controversy broke out and officials deleted it within hours. Although some found the message cute or empowering, others were offended.”


As reported at reference 2, offended ladies caused the tasteless ad to be yanked from the Obama pitch
"In an election season where nearly every misstep and gaffe that makes the news has been coming out of the Romney campaign, it would appear that team Obama has finally slipped up in an unforgivable way. That's right, the Obama campaign liked a someecard. After the above user-generated yourecard was reblogged on (and hastily removed from) the official Obama campaign tumblr, a slew of conservative bloggers, their grasps wrapped firmly around some straws, unleashed a firestorm of criticism against the campaign, accusing them of reducing women to their reproductive organs.”


Hmmm. Sounds like an evil war on women, but wars on women are waged only by the GOP, right?

In any event, the Obama-Bats have removed the offensive ad and have thus taken “Lady Parts” out of the cross-hairs of desperate Obama campaigners!

On the Dave Letterman show Tuesday night, President Barack Obama stated that the occupant of the Oval Office must "work for everyone, not just for some," a pathetic response to Mitt Romney’s “secret” video.

However, Obama’s record over the past four years indicates that there are several groups of Americans whom the president does not care about, or work for.

Those Obama does not appear to work for include, but are not limited to:


( )Those who earn more than $250,000 a year;
( )Those involved in the coal industry;
( )Religious institutions denied First Amendment rights as a result of ObamaCare mandates:
( )US Border patrol agents and their families;
( )Male Caucasians;
( )Pro-life activists;
( )Stay- at- home moms;
( )Tea Party members;
( )Evangelicals;
( )The City and people of Las Vegas;
( )Gun rights advocates;
( )Opponents of same-sex marriage;
( )Supply-side economists;
( )Balanced budget advocates;
( )Pro-Israel activists;
( )FOX News;
( )Americans for legal immigration:
( )US Chamber of Commerce;
( )People and businesses that pay taxes;
( )Rush Limbaugh, Donald Trump, and Clint Eastwood, and
( )Governors of Red States.

The big question: Does the number of voters in the above categories exceed the 47 percent in the tank for our failed president?

Pray to God that the answer is a resounding YES!

As much of the Middle-East and parts of Northern Africa burn as a result of violent protests against America, it has been revealed that the America’s CICINO (Commander-in-Chief In Name Only),  has attended but 43.8 percent of the Presidential Daily Briefings since January 20, 2009.

As reported at the Reference:

According to a study by the Government Accountability Institute, based on the publicly available White House calendar, Obama failed to attend a single Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) in the week leading up to 9/11 and the chaos that erupted in the Arab world. The mere fact that we were approaching 9/11 was itself a crucial reason for attending not one but all of the briefings. Obama attended none.

Worse, this is apparently nothing new. Obama attended only 43.8 percent of his Presidential Daily Briefs in the first 1,225 days of his administration; that's less than a majority.

Again, this is shocking, and there's no excuse for it.

Marc Thiessen, who worked for President George W. Bush, pressed NSC spokesman Tommy Vietor for an explanation. Thiessen reported:
Vietor did not dispute the numbers, but said the fact that the president, during a time of war, does not attend his daily intelligence meeting on a daily basis is "not particularly interesting or useful." He says that the president reads his PDB every day, and he disagreed with the suggestion that there is any difference whatsoever between simply reading the briefing book and having an interactive discussion of its contents with top national security and intelligence officials where the president can probe assumptions and ask questions. "I actually don't agree at all," Vietor told me in an e-mail. "The president gets the information he needs from the intelligence community each day."

Thiessen continued: "Vietor also directed me to a [Washington] Post story written this year in which Obama officials discuss the importance of the intelligence meeting and extol how brilliantly the president runs it. 'Obama reads the PDB ahead of time and comes to the morning meeting with questions,' The Post reported. 'One regular participant in the roughly 500 Oval Office sessions during Obama's presidency said the meetings show a president consistently participating in an exploration of foreign policy and intelligence issues.'"

Yeah, right. More nonsense from a scandalously biased media that refuses to do real reporting on Barack Obama.”

Of course, the truth is quite another matter.

 Two possible conservative explanations fit Obama’s humungous ego and anti-military political bias to a tee, and are most likely spot on:

Genius Mind Needs No Briefing

Because Obama is so very intelligent, so they say, the notion that he would benefit from any “Intelligence” briefing conducted by mere mortals burdened with just normal intelligence borders on blasphemy and impertinence of the crassest kind.

True, bureaucrat mortals might benefit from exposure to Obama’s vast wisdom and brilliance; however, The One is fully occupied with fund raisers, campaign stops, and interviews where soft-ball questions are lobbed at him for hours.

And do not forget his commitment to golf!

The War on Terror Has Been Won by The One

The most credible argument in support of Obama NOT attending intelligence briefings is the fact that, according to the DNC and The One, Obama has won the war on terror!

In other words, ignore the burning embassies and dead bodies from Libya: Thanks to Obama, there is no war on terrorism and attending an unnecessary intelligence briefing might give Al-Quaeda and the Taliban heathen the false impression that America still cares!

And so it is. Obama’s failure to attend meetings on intelligence is similar to his refusal to attend his Job council meetings at a time when unemployment runs rampant.

Bottom line: Golf and fund raising have replaced world peace and jobs in Obama’s feckless, progressive world!

Obama’s “Green” Volt Spews Red Ink!

 

By John W. Lillpop



President Obama delights in boasting (endlessly) about the success of the government seizure of General Motors. He unashamedly points to the GM “success” as evidence of what government can do, when allowed to interfere in the affairs of private business people.

What Obama conveniently overlooks are the real facts behind the government interference and the actual bottom-line results. As with Solyndra and other “Obama Business” follies, when objectivity and net profit considerations are applied, the myth of government business acumen vanishes in a heart beat.

Like the fabled trillion-dollar “Stimulus,” the disastrous ObamaCare nightmare, and just about every other program that Obama has sullied with his Marxist hands, the Volt is proof positive that it is impossible to convert a non-productive community organizer into a business man just by giving said man an Oval Office and access to the national treasury.

Being “clean and articulate” may be enough for moon bat Democrats looking for an object to worship; however, honest profit and loss measurements are far more demanding and disciplined.

As reported at Reference 1, the Volt experiment is not going well, despite all the crowing and braggadocio spewing from deluded Democrats at the DNC last week:

At their convention, Democrats swore that GM is “thriving,” but the market doesn’t think so: GM shares have lost half their value since January 2011. And while the passing of the Great Recession has meant growing sales for all auto makers, GM is seriously lagging behind its competitors: Its sales are up 10 percent, a fraction of the increases at Kia, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Porsche. With its sales weak, its share price crashing, and its business model still a mess, some analysts already are predicting that GM will return to bankruptcy — but not until after the election.

The Obama administration talks up all of the “jobs” it saved at GM — but jobs doing what? Manufacturing automobiles that are not competitive without a demand. Propping up an economically non-viable enterprise just long enough to get Barack Obama reelected? As much as it will pain the hardworking men and women of GM to hear it, it is not worthwhile to save jobs at enterprises that cannot compete on their own merits. So long as the federal government is massively subsidizing the operation, a job at GM is a welfare program with a fairly robust work requirement. (And we all know how the Obama administration feels about work requirements.)

We have bankruptcy laws and bankruptcy courts for a reason. It may make sense to expedite the proceedings for very large firms such as GM in order to prevent disruptions in the supply chain that would, as Ford’s executives argued, harm other, healthier firms. But bankrupt is what GM was, and bankrupt is what GM is, a fact that will become blisteringly apparent should the government ever attempt to sell off the shares it owns in the company.

The GM bailout was a bad deal for GM’s creditors, for U.S. taxpayers, and, in the long run, for the U.S. automobile industry and our overall national competitiveness. No wonder the Democrats are campaigning on a fictionalized account of it.”

UGLY MATH details about the disaster at GM are provided at reference 2:
General Motors Co sold a record number of Chevrolet Volt sedans in August — but that probably isn't a good thing for the auto maker's bottom line.

Nearly two years after the introduction of the path-breaking plug-in hybrid, GM is still losing as much as $49,000 on each Volt it builds, according to estimates provided to Reuters by industry analysts and manufacturing experts.

Cheap Volt lease offers meant to drive more customers to Chevy showrooms this summer may have pushed that loss even higher. There are some Americans paying just $5,050 to drive around for two years in a vehicle that cost as much as $89,000 to produce.

And while the loss per vehicle will shrink as more are built and sold, GM is still years away from making money on the Volt, which will soon face new competitors from Ford, Honda and others.

GM's basic problem is that "the Volt is over-engineered and over-priced," said Dennis Virag, president of the Michigan-based Automotive Consulting Group.”

There is a glimmer of good news for General Motors and taxpayers in all this:

On November 6, the American people will have a chance to fire the misguided, clueless , profit-hating executive responsible for this Marxist scheme.

Let’s hope we the people are wise enough to do so!

To people like AG Eric Holder, Harry Reid and most liberals, perpetuating the Barack Obama failed presidency is more important than protecting the integrity of the vote.

To Mr. Holder and all the other Democrats in denial, or worse, the case of one Wendy Rosen of Maryland should be required reading.

As reported at Reference 1:

Wendy Rosen, the Democratic challenger to Rep. Andy Harris in Maryland's First Congressional District, which includes the Eastern Shore, has withdrawn from the race.

The Maryland Democratic Party said it demanded Rosen's withdrawal after discovering Rosen has been registered to vote in both Maryland and Florida since 2006 and has voted in both states in two elections.

In a statement, Yvette Lewis, chairman of the Maryland Democratic Party, said, “Today, the Maryland Democratic Party took immediate and decisive action and demanded the withdrawal of Wendy Rosen as nominee for U.S. Representative in the 1st Congressional District after allegations of electoral law violations were brought to our attention.

“In addition, at my direction, the Maryland Democratic Party submitted a letter to the Attorney General and State Prosecutor outlining all information regarding the alleged violations.

“Any effort to corrupt or misuse the electoral process is reprehensible, wrong and must not be tolerated,” Lewis said.

In the letter to Attorney General Doug Gansler and State Prosecutor Emmet C. Davitt, Lewis said the Maryland Democratic State Central Committee had learned "Rosen has been registered to vote in both Florida and Maryland since at least 2006; that she in fact voted in the 2006 general election both in Florida and Maryland; and that she voted in the presidential preference primaries held in both Florida and Maryland in 2008. This information is based on an examination of the voter files from both states.

"We believe that this is a clear violation of Maryland law and urge the appropriate office to conduct a full
investigation," Lewis wrote.”


Well, good for you Ms. Lewis! But why the hell did it take six years to uncover this fraud?

Voter fraud by candidates has not been seen as a factor until now, but since Rosen is a Democrat, anything is possible!

You do recall the voter fraud orchestrated by Democrat Antonio Villaraigosa at the DNC last week right? The one in which Villaraigosa pretended that a revision to the party platform, which deleted God and references to Jerusalem as capital of Israel, was approved by voice vote, although the NAYS appeared to win the day?

What the Rosen debacle points out is the urgent need for a federal law requiring Voter ID everywhere!

Especially for Democrat politicians!

Of course, since Rosen is a Democrat, her fraud may not arouse much concern from the likes of Eric Holder!

Following Monday’s string of published polls that showed Barack Obama in a position to inflict four more years of choreographed ruin on America and the 300 million or so of We the People looking for restoration of the American Dream and a return to sanity, just the thought of four more years of Obama had caused sales of valium and guns to soar from coast-to-coast.

In Red states run by Republican governors, state bosses tried to ease widespread panic and head-off mass suicides plotted by frightened patriot groups. Red Cross and National Guard resources were put on full alert and told to expect the worse.

In Blue states run by communists and near communists, leftist bosses welcomed the warnings as signs of better days to come.

However, when dawn arrived this morning, it had all slowed down and the Obama “bounce” was corrected to portray the Obama gain as it really was:

A swell of support from illegal aliens, felons, sleeper cells, welfare and food-stamp frauds, and people long since dead and buried. In other words, the typical gang of dim-wits and anti-American losers who always come out in huge numbers for anyone will a D next to their name!

It’s known by clinicians and objective political scientists as the ENTITLEMENT BIAS and it is very popular among mainstream reporters and editors who use it to make Polls reflect their tattered values.

After the poll numbers were revised to reflect “Likely voters” and remove the ENTITLEMENT BIAS factor, R and O were essentially even!

As reported at the Reference:


Today, ABC News/Washington Post released a poll showing a virtual dead heat between Obama and Romney. The survey was conducted September 7-9 among adults with sub-samples of registered and likely voters.
Obama does show a convention bounce gain among registered voters, with a 6% advantage over Romney. In other words, Obama has more support among voters who are probably not going to vote. A more accurate assessment of likely voters have the candidates tied with no bounce: Obama registers with 49% of the vote and Romney at 48%.

The ABC/WaPo likely voter numbers stand in direct contrast to the rather bizarre poll released by CNN yesterday. In that survey, CNN showed Obama up over Romney at 52% to 46% among likely voters. But with a sample of likely voters that included only 4% independent voters, the results are highly suspect.”


Whew! That was what I would term a scary near-death experience!

Evidence of the veracity of the revised poll was confirmed by pharmacists and gun shop owners who report a plunge in the sales of valium and guns!

Now its on to November 6, and VICTORY for America, and to hell with illegal aliens, felons, sleeper cells, and people long since dead and buried.

Let’s go, Mitt! Its all up to you!

Are You STUPID Enough to Be a Liberal?

To those undecided between committing suicide and becoming a liberal,
please consider the inconsistency and irrational thinking needed
to embrace the liberal agenda:

 

* Execution of a convicted killer is cruel, unusual and barbaric;
whereas a woman’s right to abort the life of an innocent child
is inalienable’

 

* Starving an innocent victim like Terri Schaivo to death is
acceptable; using lethal injection to end the life of a brutal killer is
cruel and unusual;

 
* Burning Old Glory is acceptable free speech, whereas
conservatives like Rush Limbaugh routinely engage in
unacceptable “hate speech,” when discussing budget cuts and fiscal responsibility;”

* Skyrocketing gasoline prices devastate working American
families,but ending America’s addiction to automobiles is a greater
priority.

 

* Large profits are obscenely un-American, except when enjoyed
by Barack Obama, George Soros, Oprah Winfrey, the Clintons,and other
liberals.

 

* Conservatives working to preserve American culture are bigoted
hate mongers, but the “cultural heritage” of new illegal immigrants must
be protected and celebrated at all costs.

 

* Discrimination based on race or gender is wrong. Except when
it is waged against Caucasian men, in which case it is mandated
by law and called Affirmative Action.

 

* Invading a foreign nation is wrong, except when illegal aliens
from Mexico invade America.

 

* Those who believe English should be the official American
language are “racist,” whereas Hispanics who prefer Spanish to
English are perfectly justified because “diversity is our
greatest strength.”

 

* The earning power of American citizens is in sharp decline;
still, the U.S. should grant amnesty to millions of illegal
aliens who will work for lower wages and without benefits.

 

* Illegal aliens should be licensed to drive– to avoid breaking
the law by driving illegally.

 

* Freedom of speech must never be repressed, except when
“hurtful” to any constituency of the Democrat party, in which
case it becomes hate speech.

 

* Tax cuts are wrong when money is returned to people
who actually paid taxes, but perfectly fine when sent to those
who paid none.

 

* All symbols of Christianity must be quashed so as to offend no
one, whereas all things Islamic must be heavily promoted in the
name of religious awareness, diversity and tolerance.

 

* Businesses are oppressive, fascist institutions and must not
be allowed to become too large. On the other hand government,
when run by Democrats, creates wealth and happiness and should be
expanded as much as possible.

 

* Military force must never be used, except when needed to
advance interests not vital to the United States, or to obscure
a Democrat president’s sexual misconduct in the Oval Office.

Think about it– Are you mindless enough to be a liberal?

As We the People prepare to vote in what may be the most vital election in our history, it is well that we be reminded of the huge stakes involved, and, most importantly, what we CAN DO by acting responsibly in the privacy of the voting booth.

To assist in the deliberative process, the following ideas are offered:


Imagine, a president who has a passionate love for the history, tradition, and values of America, including blemishes and frailties, and is completely dedicated to preservation of our culture and values.

Imagine, a president who respects the rule of law, the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the separation of powers under our form of self- rule.

Imagine, a president loathe to apologize for American values, religion, or leaders while on foreign soil.

Imagine, a president who really believes in the Exceptionalism of America’s people, Constitution, and culture.

Imagine a president NOT so arrogant and delusional as to believe that he is capable of, and should, “fundamentally transform” the greatest nation in human history.

Imagine, a president who respects the fact that we are a nation of laws, including those which significantly limit his powers and ability to act unilaterally.

Imagine, a president who believes in free-market capitalism, private enterprise, and the capabilities of individual Americans, when free from excessive government regulations, bureaucrats, and tax burdens.

Imagine, a president who understands that only private enterprise creates and sustains good-paying jobs, and then only when government is kept at bay.

Imagine, a president who believes that, “You CAN Build That!”

Imagine, a president who believes that responsible governance includes the obligation to “live within our means” and who understands the inevitable ruin that ensures when that is not heeded.

Imagine, a president loathe to use the power of government to “bankrupt” energy alternatives with which he differs ideologically.

Imagine, a president who would never use the tax code to divide American citizens and to punish Americans for over achieving.

Imagine, a president who believes that individual initiative, ability, and accomplishments should be allowed to determine success, and who utterly rejects the notion that wealth should be doled out based on some bureaucrat’s vision of “fairness.”

Imagine, a president who understands the American drive to succeed and profit and who is committed to implementing policies which encourage success and profit!

Imagine, a president who respects the First Amendment to the US Constitution and the freedom of religion expressed therein.

Imagine, a president who understands and respects the concept of American sovereignty, secure borders, and full enforcement of existing immigration laws.

Imagine a president who understands that the “war on terror” is not over.

Imagine, a president who sincerely wants the best for the nation and all citizens.


Lastly,

Imagine a president who is all American and who is “One of us.”

Imagine a nation reunited with the principles and ideals upon which America was formed.

Imagine America restored—and vote accordingly on November 6!

As the days leading to the 2012 elections grow fewer, Americans need to face the fact that Barack Obama is not the candidate in whom voters should entrust the future of our children and grandchildren, nor the very future of our nation.

Over the past three plus years, Obama has demonstrated over and over again that he:

* Holds deep, impassioned resentments against the American way of life including capitalism, dominance of the Christian faith, desire to reflect Exceptionalism, and culture. Obama even resents the fact that America is mostly an English-speaking nation will little or no desire for foreign languages to interlope into our education, law, and daily lives.

* Has very little respect, or none, for American history and the principles on which this nation was founded, including those which have made America the most successful society in human history, and which have enabled he and his family to prosper so richly.

* Is scornful of established laws and traditions including those which concern American sovereignty, states’ rights, religious freedom, and immigration.

* Uses class, race, income, education and other ways in which people differ to pit Americans against each other, all to promote his own selfish political ambitions.

* Is naïve and ill-informed when it comes to the urgent need for a strong national defense, a prejudice which is particularly dangerous given the hostile world in which we live. Foolishly adheres to the Progressive myth which holds that “talking” with our enemies (Iran) can solve problems, when the opposite is generally true.

* Foolishly refuses to admit that there are genuinely “bad” people and nations who want to kill Americans and America.

* Does not grasp the inherent danger in reckless spending and irresponsible accumulation of federal debt. Despite the downgrade of America’s credit and warnings of further damage, has refused to take responsible action to address entitlements and other out-of-control spending.

* Believes that America should be fundamentally transformed to reflect his socialist agenda, despite the fact that most Americans disagree strongly. ObamaCare is but one example.

As if Obama’s warped vision were not bad enough, he is a man of enormous ego who believes that he is the smartest, wisest man in the room, an attitude which results in arrogance fueled by ignorance that causes him to discount and reject opposing views.

All in all, Barack Obama is simply not the man for the presidency.

America deserves better! Much better.
