smoke and mirrors

Look over there, a spider!

Let's go on a whirlwind tour of the past 7 days and compare what real journalists would report as headlines compared to our Socialist National Press, also known as the mainstream media.

Fact: The (most transparent ever) Obama administration ordered the sealing of Border Patrolman's Brian Terry's murder records today. Mr. Terry was the victim of A.G. Holder and President Obama's Fast and Furious program--you know, the one where an officer was shot by our own guns from a program our fearless leader approved so he could further crack down on gun ownership in the U.S. Read here .

Mainstream Media: GOP hopeful Herman Cain faces an alleged affair. He can't possibly be innocent because he is a Republican. He should just call it quits now, regardless of any evidence.

Fact: A Gallup poll released yesterday shows Obama with the lowest job approval rating of any president at this stage of their term in modern political history, including Jimmy Carter. Read here .

Mainstream Media: That dress Congressman Bachman wore at the last debate looked like a wedding gown, didn't it?

Fact: A Rasmussen report released today shows GOP Newt Gingrich polling ahead of Obama, 45-43. Read here .

Mainstream Media: Newt Gingrich cheated on his wife two decades ago. He also spent a boatload of his money on his current bride at Tiffany's. Really, that is way more extreme than Bill Clinton lying under oath about his sexual rendezvous in the White House. What are these Tea Party extremist thinking! !

Fact: President Flub A Dub called himself "Commander and Chief" in his weekly address last week and referred yesterday to the attack on the "English" embassy in Tehran. Read here and here .

Mainstream Media: Rick Perry mentioned the voting age as being 21 and he wants to be a president, are you kidding me! Seriously, is Texas A&M a real university?

Fact: A poll released today by the Kaiser Group (the folks who once loved Obamacare) shows the Act polls worst today than it did a year ago, read here .

Mainstream Media: Mitt Romney has flip-flopped on a couple key issues. He also probably likes to put kitties in his blender when he makes his protein shake.

You, the gangster loving media cartel, is at the very heart of the crisis we face today. You covered up Rezko, he is now in prison. You covered up his relationship with Blago, he now faces 15-20 years in the slammer. You covered up his relationship with Ayers and Dohrn, known terrorists. You covered up his 20 year relationship with Pastor Jeremiah "God Da** America" Wright. You covered up his association with known communist Frank Marshall Davis. You covered up his relationship with George Soros. You were indifferent to his concealment of his birth certificate. You were indifferent to his failure to disclose his college transcripts. You were indifferent to his failure to release his medical records. You were indifferent to his teachings of Saul Alinksy. You were indifferent to his cocaine use. You were indifferent to his lackluster Senate career. AND YOU LED 53% OF AMERICA TO BELIEVE HE WAS QUALIFIED?

The American Pravda who made zero effort 3+ years ago to vett President Teflon expects to be trusted now to background the Republican candidates? We are living witnesses to an incredible media double standard, whereby Republican presidential hopefuls are being torn apart, while the biggest Democratic failure in our lifetime gets a free ride.

The absolute dereliction of duty by folks who call themselves 'journalists' is the single, most contributing reason we are where we are on this last day of November 2011!

417 days of suffering remains....

Hawaii Floats to a New Continent

noreply@blogger.com (david) — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 15:19:00 +0000

Don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonometry

Don't know much...

Play the video.

He is offering up a speech in Hawaii on Tuesday and proclaims "One other thing that I want to say about this: When I meet with world leaders, what’s striking — whether it’s in Europe or here in Asia....". So now since he was born in Hawaii, Obama I guess not only became our first black President, but also our first Asian. Nice.

I know we owe China a boatload of cash, but did we give 'em Hawaii as collateral?

But just remember, Sarah Palin is dumb…no wait, Bachman is an idiot…no wait, Cain doesn’t have a brain….no wait, Rick Perry got bad grades. Where are the 3 letter networks on Obama's (daily) gaffe? **Crickets**

You add this comment to the one he made while campaigning in 2008 indicating he was visiting his 57th state and you have to wonder if he would get pass round one of the Geography category in "Do You Think You Are Smarter Than a 5th Grader"? More evidence of why Scooter never released his Harvard transcripts.

May you be reminded of the rest of his misspeaks that the mainstream media never uttered a word about..."Malia is 13" when she was 12.."twister fatalities in Kansas, 10,000 people died" when only 12 were dead..."the Austrian language", there isn’t one...Obama thought Medal of Honor winner Jared Monte was alive, when he was actually killed in action...Navy "Corpse Man", instead of corpsman...the "Intercontinental Railroad", instead of Transcontinental...“ My Muslim faith” instead of Christian…confusing Jews with Janitors..called an inhalator "a breathalyzer"...that's off the top of my 1 cup of coffee memory..

Simply, the Teleprompter-Reader-in-Chief is going to have to hire a new Teleprompter....and he will count it as a new job....

430 days left for Obama to find himself an atlas...

I am not sure about your last water-cooler conversation, but I know on my recent final day of work we were all up in arms about Christmas trees being such huge jerks over the years. But no worries, Captain Pine Beetle himself to the rescue with his new Christmas Tree Tax just in time for--- Christmas.

That's correct dear readers, President Ba-humbug's Agriculture Department today announced that it will impose a new 15-cent charge on all fresh Christmas trees to support a new Federal program to improve the image and marketing of Christmas trees. Who knows why as the Christmas Tree Association already exists to promote their cause, see link .

Millions of Americans out of work, the economy in shambles, debt threatening to destroy the country, and this guy can’t think of anything better to worry about than Christmas trees? Breathtaking. This epitomizes Obama economics--raise natural Christmas tree prices to increase sales!

Guess where the money goes and win yourself a chocolate covered Santa! Yes, ANOTHER GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACY called the Christmas Tree Promotion Board. Wait til the ACLU gets ahold of that name. It will quickly be renamed to the Holiday Tree Promotion Board. All we hear from the Left is the separation of church and state wails--where are they now? And since when can a tax originate in the Executive Branch?

Did I miss something? Was there a lack of promotion? Not sure where you reside, but hey I am surrounded by year round Christmas light hangers! Does not Target pretty much roll out their Christmas decor on about New Year's Eve nowadays?

More natural tree sales equals more house fires. More natural tree sales equals more allergy doctor visits. More natural tree sales equals smaller forests. More natural tree sales increases volume at the local landfill. More natural tree sales equals increased vet bill due to airborne cats. Yes, the party of unintended consequences strikes again.

There is always a campaign strategy with Pres. Ebenezer since that is all he knows. I can see the new slogan now in a rally to revive the floundering Jewish vote- "Christians taxed on trees, Jews get tax-free Menorah candles, vote for me 2012." As well, I surmise the Artificial Tree Manufacturer's Union just cut the Bamster a donation check.

To conclude, if I am a natural Christmas tree vendor, I put out a sign that says "15 cents-the Obama I Hate Your Religion Tax". The 15 cent Burka Tax, no where to be found.

438 days remaining....Merry Taxmas!

Update: As soon as this posted, the Pres announced implementation of the tax will be delayed. My guess as to the reasoning-- he needs to fire up the campaign bus and road test "Pass this Christmas Tree Tax Bill Now"

Someone needs a kit!

When asked this week by a Minneapolis CBS affiliate reporter whether President Obama thought Americans were better off than they were when he took office, he responded, "Well, you know, I think we are better off now than we would have been if I hadn’t taken all the steps that we took. We’ve made steady progress."

President Crystal Ball just finished his annual physical last week. Certainly, he was not subject to being tested for crack.

"We are"---that would be Barry, Moochelle and the girls. "Better off"---than what, a Cambodian tribal member? The Earth splitting in two? The Iranians accidentally launching nuclear missles? Roseann Barr being trapped inside of Country Buffet? Perhaps. "Steady progress"---toward what, a cliff? Captain Delusional is clearly showing his hand as to his new 2012 campaign slogan---"It could have been worse."

With a lie like that, I have only one piece of advice for the President--- please avoid flammable clothing! And while we are on the topic, if the Prez was at a movie theatre and yelled "fire", I believe everyone attending would say "pass the popcorn, the source of the announcement is Obama."

The only thing I could conclude he meant to say was "There are more little people receiving welfare and food stamps under my Regime than any other Regime in history and for that I am grateful."

I loved House Majority Leader John Boehner's response. Check it out in this short clip here, his facial reaction to the reporter's question is priceless.

Quick review of verifiable info now vs. 2008: Unemployment-worse. National debt and deficit-worse.Household income-worse. Gas price-worse. Home values-worse. Foreclosures-worse. Food stamp enrollment-worse. Healthcare premiums-worse. Poverty rate-worse. Failed banks-worse. U.S. bond rating-worse. Relationship with Israel-worse. Taxpayer's investment in green companies-worse. Businesses desire to invest money-worse. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry's heartbeat-worse.

What is ironic, although not surprising from President Barack and Forth, is just 3 weeks ago he said Americans were not better off, see here. But I know, that is an unfair comparison, as all of Obama's statements have a 3 day expiration date.

In concluding, the President's manufacturing numbers are up--- that would be producing Bee-Ess which is delivered by the mainstream media, labeled as the truth and purchased by 52% of America.

444 days.

Bachelor's Degree in Failed Politics

noreply@blogger.com (david) — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 23:06:00 +0000

The President is in Colorado ~~coincidentally a swing state~~ today ~~campaigning~~ announcing his new ~~effort to get votes~~ school loan modification program. The only supportive population he has left, the Stupid Vote, will certainly be drooling over the Emperor who chose to, once again, side-step Congress on an issue.

Yes, these po, po students who agreed to the conditions of a loan when they began their pursuit of their diploma with a major in Bowling Industry Management and a minor in Marijuana Cultivation now whining about their school debt being forgiven due to their inability to obtain a job in their field of study. Ya think?

A President that has not taken any responsibility for his actions and administration is now teaching our youth that they do not have to take responsibility for their actions. Our future looks great.

But, as is evidenced in this recent poll, 66% of Americans are opposed to this idea of easing their loan obligations. Once again, President Contrariran code three to the rescue! A Cash for Clunkers program with a tassel, AWESOME!

The amount at risk: $1 trillion in outstanding school loans. Who is at risk of paying it back: the 53% of Americans who pay taxes. Just because Pres. Food Stamp wants to forgive your debt, does not mean the debt goes away. It simply becomes the burden of the rest of us.

The MIA mainstream media will not challenge President Candyman on a single point. What is the most obvious question that needs to be asked of him as he rants about saving them money so they can "start up their own businesses, buy a home, have children"-- how much will the average student save per month under the new guidelines? Per an analysis at this link, LESS THAN $10 per month! Instead, we have the media saying "Hey, look over there, the Michael Jackson trial!"

You mopes want free tuition-- do 8 years in the military-- problem solved.

The real issue with school debt escalation--an average annual 8% tuition inflation rate, not to mention exorbitant book fees. Why not address that Pres. Precious? Oh, that's right, academia overwhelmingly supports a Democrat's agenda. Case closed.

Who are these kids? Hey, the same ones who are rioting in Oakland and Atlanta --that's right, liberal protesters in liberal cities run by liberal local government, all being tear-gassed last night at their Occupy I Wanna Freebie movement. And, who owns these "Occupiers"--that would be Barack Hussein Obama who on October 18th stated "In some ways, they’re not that different from some of the protests that we saw coming from the Tea Party". See a video of their "just like Tea Party" behavior right here.

I want to start my own movement, #OccupyMensa, so I can complain of the intellectual gap in this country. Will you join me? Unlike Wall Street, I was thinking of Colfax Ave in Denver as a starting point.

Liberty is the right to make whatever legal choices you want - good or bad. You want to smoke? Inhale! Drink? Imbibe! Become morbidly obese? McD's drive-thru! Go to school to get a degree in a field that is not paying so well? Apply! It's your life, you're responsible for it. You - not me, not your parents, not some mythical village, not the rest of the nation. DON'T ASK ME (or whine to the government to force me) TO PAY FOR YOUR CHOICES.

In closing, I finished college with zero debt. Yes, I had to humbly deliver flowers and tutor other students, so be it. My wife had a school loan that we paid off early. My oldest son graduated debt-free and my youngest, at most, may have to borrow money for his senior year from the Hallock Foundation for Unemployed Children. Amazingly, we all chose majors in fields that we might have a chance to be employed by and none have us have ever thought of walking away from an agreement we made. Yes, our family is the new minority in America, the responsible.

451 days until the Federal government school ~~loan modificatin program~~ handouts expire.

Baby HuGey

noreply@blogger.com (david) — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 22:28:00 +0000

Notice anything slightly different about this 30 year old? Meet Binky-soothing, diaper wearing, ~~government~~ bottle-sucking Stanley Thornton.

Momma's Boy-Super Sized is the recipient of $860 per month in Social Security disability payments. His disability-- he is an adult baby. He has a self-proclaimed, irresistible urge to be bottle fed, sleep in a crib and dress in baby attire. When a Republican Congressman demanded a fraud investigation, the Social Security agency ruled this week his payments were legitimate and would not cease his funding. Uhhh--the only one who needs government assistance in this situation is the person responsible for cleaning out the 5 lb. Kentucky Browns in his Snugglies !

When Cradle to Grave Nanny Child initially learned of the investigation, he responded "If you go after my payments I am going to kill myself. Next time you see me on the news, it will be me in a body bag.” OK, let Dave do the math: Hundreds of thousands of dollars for you to suck on the government teat or $300 for an XXXL cute, baby blue body bag. I am all about cost savings. Maybe there is a place for Death Panels in Obamacare after all.

Thornton claimed "All my illnesses have had extensive testing" he wrote on his site. That's correct, "he wrote on his site"-- cause as we all know, all disabled 2 year olds have a website. Furthermore, Stan resides at his California apartment where he has built himself a giant crib, play pen and even a man-sized high chair. When I was two, I could build a mound of nothing with my Lincoln Logs. Even at age 50+, whipping out the chicken coop was a real test of my woodwork skills. It would not even qualify for the medal round in the Special Olympics of Carpentry. Seriously, I think my hens still chuckle about their housing. But Stan, he is quite the carpenter as evidenced here constructing his own high chair and crib:

Democrat Poster Boy dresses himself, heads out to Home Depot, buys what he needs off his list, pays the cashier, drives home and builds stuff----hey, we all qualify for $860 a month!

What's next- his own reality based TV show, "Crap Your Pants- Get Paid".

While Enabler-In-Chief gets escorted out The House in 457 days, an eternity remains for this dolt nursing on the Government Breast-Feeding program..

OWS (Occupy the Wrong Street)

noreply@blogger.com (david) — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 22:19:00 +0000

Anyone else been looking for the 60's offspring--done think I have found them. Every OWS picture I have seen looks like Woodstock sans the downpour.

Their stated goal was to organize themselves in the fashion of the known conservative group, The TEA Party. Well, they were close, except the name should be changed to The TEAT party.

Take some WTH meds before you consume this 2 minute video. If you have ever wanted to know what South Park looks like with humans playing the leading roles, here you go, ENJOY!

So inspiring ain't it? Seriously, what is up with repeating chants. I went to an OWS rally and a wedding vow broke out...or something. What mindless drivel.

Occupy Wall Street? Uhhh, how about Occupying the Wrong Street. Perhaps you misfits should head over to the ~~evil corporation~~ Garmin website and get yourself a GPS and figure out how to get to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Speaking of the White House, who loves them the Occupiers? Barrack Obama and Nancy Pelosi. What the mainstream media, whose articles about OWS outnumber the actual protesters, won't reveal is Obama himself has collected more money from Wall Street than any other president in the past 20 years. In addition, Queen Nan is married to Paul who is an-- d r u m r o l l-- INVESTMENT BANKER. Much of his wealth was attributed to selling ~~evil corporations~~ Apple and Cisco stock pocketing almost $3 million dollars last year. Utter hypocrisy.

Anyone else notice the timing? Just as the Solyndra scandal is getting legs as is the entire Fast and Furious debacle, seemingly out of nowhere, the Community Organizer in Chief is able to launch his Neanderthal street festivals. Coincidence? Doubtful.

I think Herman Cain, my guy (right now) for Pres. 2012 said it best, "the movement is comprised of jealous Americans who play the victim card and want to take somebody else’s Cadillac." He added "Occupy Wall Street is merely a distraction so that many people won’t focus on the failed policies of the Obama administration.” Essentially, the chant is "What do we want, we don't know".."When do we want it...NOW".

To conclude, I really don't get it. Who owns the largest insurance company in America? Who is the biggest land owner in the USA? Who runs the biggest retirement plan in America? Who bailed out those evil banks? Car companies? Who allowed the credit swaps to the behemoth mortgage companies that started the downfall ? That would be the EVIL FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

468 days left, or for this group, 10 showers.

Shot Meet Foot

noreply@blogger.com (david) — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 20:46:00 +0000

Take a march to the right-hand side of my blog where I have the quotes...see the "Liberalism" bleat...yeah, that's where I am going...

As of October 1st, all Bank of America customers (and soon to be many others) will see a new $5.00 per month fee for using their debit card, simply from here on out to be known as The Dick Fee, courtesy of the author of the legislation Senator Dick Durbin, a Democratic Senator from Illinois. While fondly known to most of us as Richard, his girlfriends called him Dick, for short. Don't confuse the Senator though with his boss who has the same name which I blogged about here.

Now, let's take a walk inside of Mr. Durbin's cavernous head. Essentially, here is his creation-- "I pity the retailers who are being screwged by their banks. These evil institutions have imposed a 44 cent fee per debit card transaction on the stores and my law caps the fee at 24 cents per purchase. Isn't this awesome cause now this will save these businesses annually $6 billion and next campaign session retailers will vote for me all while I simultaneously mount my Banks are Evil horse. Additionally, with this new "saving" for the store, indeed they will drop their retail prices for the consumer and the banks will play along nicely. I am so smart."

Uh, no.

You see readers, Dick has ZERO private sector experience. Who do you think is going to pay for the $6 billion in LESS revenue to banks his legislation created--THE CONSUMER, hence Bank of America's new $5 per month fee.

Dick, clearly you are afflicted by Career Politician Syndrome, so a few fundamentals on how retail businesses work:

While retailers could have griped about bank fees, the reality is they had already priced the 44 cent fee into their product when they established the sales prices of their goods.
If you think we are now going to see "All merchandise 20 cents off", think again-- show us the evidence.
Research shows stores who accept debit cards increase their revenue by 33% versus restricting to cash or checks, so retailers were readily on board. Consumers enjoy ease and convenience.
Debit cards are preferred by these stores over checks as plastic doesn't bounce as much as paper. As an offset to dealing with the hazards of accepting checks, retailers were willing to absorb the cost as there was an intrinsic benefit.

I viewed an evening news report on this story Friday night when competing banks were interviewed and as a whole when asked about them establishing a debit card fee the answer was "not YET". Of course, they are going to hold out in hopes of hordes of consumers dumping BofA for their bank. But this is a classic last man standing scenario with XYZ Bank, who held out the longest, saying "we had no other choice, we had to establish a debit card fee. But please still love us as we were last."

The more savvy consumers will do what I do Dick, use a credit union, which your legislation did not impact. Or, they will use their credit card in lieu of the debit card and pay it in full when the bill comes due. Perhaps they will dump their debit card for the check or cash option. The loss of revenue to banks will far exceed $6 billion dollars and then they will be forced to look at other income sources (or reduce expenses, ie, fire employees), further impacting all bank clientele. Or maybe they will simply fail knowing your minions will come to their rescue and bail them out. Yes, government intervention which was never needed.

As to Dick's reaction when told of Bank America's new debit card fee, he stated "Bank of America is trying to find new ways to pad their profits by sticking it to its customers.” You Dick reduced their revenue and don't expect them to adjust? Laughable, as this time next year you will see the majority of banks imposing a similar fee.

In conclusion, all Dick has done is rearranged the collection agency-- out with the store, in with the bank, all with "good intentions", but as usual, BLIND to the (obvious) unintended consequences. The retailers will not lower their prices and bank customers now have a $60 annual debit card fee. Who will have trouble handling the fee-- THE POOR, the very ones Dick's party claims to protect. Brilliant.

Smoke meet mirrors. Gunshot meet foot.

"Protection" of the consumer and the poor ends in 474 days.

Just like my wife....

What's a mother to do? Apparently, none of Moochelle's 24 assistants were available, so she had to haul herself to Target to pick up a few things. Of course, she also had to drag the 5 armor-coated SUVs and a couple of dozen special agents cause nothing says "cost savings" like being escorted by your full compliment of Federal agents with you to Target!

Imagine the conversation that preceded this visit. "Well Michelle, you have really come off as a pompous, arrogant biatch so we need to arrange something to enhance your image as a commoner." Her response "Well, Nieman Marcus has a clearance rack."

Oh, and what are the odds of an Associated Press photographer coincidentally arriving at the same time?. Somewhere between slim and none. But what skills he has staging this photo op-- Ms. Michelle O'thrifty, those bags you are carrying---uhh, they go in the cart. I know sweetheart, it's been awhile. And speaking of, as the Queen of Green, why are you in possession of those plastic bags? And does Barry know you are in a non-union store?

What would have been hilarious would be the store pulling its security video and seeing all of the dark suit personnel with their ear pieces scurrying around the aisles dodging all of the real, thrifty moms and their strollers as Michelle wandered aimlessly pretending she was highly focused on Target merchandise. Rumor has it this photo here was on the video feed.

Yes folks, they are just like us. Well, except when she is wearing $42,000 of jewelry at a fundraiser...or when she is wearing her Recession Wear $540 sneakers at a soup kitchen...or when she is taking an $80,000 per day vacation..yes, Michelle, the queen of coupon clippers!

What is more disheartening than the staged photo op is the belief Michelle thinks she is fooling us. All staged, all a fraud, all a facade. But, who can blame her realizing she fooled 52% of America 3 years ago.

477 days....Bullseye!

Flush!

noreply@blogger.com (david) — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 23:53:00 +0000

Any HOPE for reelection is circling the drain. Let's visit the recent deceit and scandals of the Obama administration of the past 10 days. And, as you read each one, precede it by thinking "What if George Bush would have done this?" ...

1) Solyndra- The Bush administration effectively says "no way" to the application from this solar fiasco. Along comes the Obama thugocracy who agree to a below industry loan rate and hands out a half-billion dollars of taxpayer money, AGAINST the desires of their own evaluation team. One model shows bankruptcy forecasted for Sept 2011--take one guess when they went paws up? Guess what executives are pleading the 5th amendment at the upcoming Congressional hearings? Timeline here .

2) Fast and Furious- The one scandal that should absolutely lead to impeachment. In my best Larry the Cable Guy voice, "I have an idea'er. Let's allow gun dealers along the Mexican borders to sell automatic weapons to illegals and to the hood. We will tell Americans we are tracking them to eventually prove how evil guns are so we progressives can institute tighter gun laws. What could go wrong?" Only one MINOR problem, the administration was unable to follow the weapons. RESULTS: 200 innocent victims dead in Mexico along with one U.S. Border Patrolman at the hands of these weapons. Excellent summary here .

3) Lightsquared- A four starred general has indicated the White House tried to pressure him to change his testimony involving a pet project of the Obama administration. Essentially, General William Shelton was asked to reword his opinion involving bandwidth interference being caused by Lightsquared, a satellite broadband company and, of course, A LARGE OBAMA DONOR. Ya see, Lightsquare's signal has a high probability of disrupting the less powerful GPS beams which might be a weeney-teeney problem when the Boeing 767 is on final approach on a foggy night and his guidance system goes kappoey. Just a lil problem the General was trying to relay to President I Don't Care. Scandal here .

4) (Save My) Jobs Bill- It turned out to be exactly as was suspected--an attempt to present a dead on arrival bill to make the GOP appear as obstructionists. One unexpected issue, the Democrats in the Senate won't pass it either as it is written. A backfire bigger than Hillary's ankles and Moochelle's rumpus combined! Obama wanted bi-partisan agreement and got it--the House and Senate both dislike it.

5) Millionaires Blah Blah- "Middle class families shouldn't pay higher taxes than millionaires and billionaires", Obama said Monday. Even the Obama loving Associated Press called out President Class Warfare on this boldface lie. Once again, those pesky things called facts-- IRS statistics in 2009 showed 98% of all millionaires paid more income tax than the lower income bracket folks.Details here and here . And if you really need a stat to share with your libtard friends, how about this-The Top .1%, yes Point One Percent, pay in more than the bottom 80%, view here . Once again, another pure rant from King Strawman.

6) "Confidence Men"- The book outlining the abuse former Obama female staffers received in the White House was released this week by Pulitzer winning author Ron Suskind. Before you rush to conclude Ron is probably Rush Limbaugh's brother-in-law, he is not. As a matter of fact, Mr. Suskind also authored some not so kind memoirs of George W. Bush.

7) Chicago Tribune- When your homey town newspaper says it's time for you to hit the links full time, perhaps it is. It's just too bad the press is 3.5 years late to the party. Read here .

8) Marist Poll- Or as I prefer, the Marxist Poll, has revealed Marxism is extremely unpopular.His lowest rating ever shows him at a 39% favorability rating. It looks like his Jobs Bill gave him a dead armadillo bounce in the polls. Poll here .

9) Nevada Obama Stench- An insider with the Nevada Democratic Party gave this campaign advice this week: "DO NOT get your picture taken with President Obama.". Read here .

As is evidenced by the past ten days, the Teflon has began to peel. The Slow Learners Union of America (those who voted for Obama) has abandoned the ship.The mainstream media has filed for divorce. The world stage has discovered the clothes have no emperor.

Effectively, you Mr. President quit on us. You now resort only to divisive rhetoric and recycled, failed plans. Any chance that you would ever negotiate, compromise and unite this country ended months after you were inaugurated when you boasted "I won!". Obamacare, Stimulus, Libya--ZERO consultation with Republicans, yet you continue to expect their participation? You chose to ignore decades of economic evidence and forged your own disastrous, but yet predictable, path. Your self-serving, narcissistic personality has convinced you that you could sell a ketchup Popsicle to a bride in her gown. You alone own the stain on the American economy.

It's time for President Barack Hussein Obama to do something unimaginable-- ANNOUNCE HE WILL NOT BE RUNNING FOR REELECTION!

Obama's "SAVE MY JOB" bill

noreply@blogger.com (david) — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 22:57:00 +0000

Obama trying to solve our unemployment crisis is like being stuck in a dark room on a moonless night trying to find a black cat, IT AIN'T HAPPENIN' FOLKS! The consequence of placing someone in charge of the USA who has ZERO business experience continues to reveal itself. As I have pointed out before in a previous post, surrounding yourself with a Cabinet who has a grand total of 8% of its members having any private sector experience results in abysmal proposals such as the recent American Jobs Act, also known as Son of (Failed) Stimulus, a bastard child.

This is nothing more than Cash for Clunkers and the Homebuyers Tax Credit with a different mask whose only intent is to create a large volume of results in a short period of time with ZERO LONG TERM IMPACT costing us BILLION$ we do not have. Let's look specifically at the ludicrous proposal of offering up a $4,000 tax credit for businesses who hire someone who has been unemployed for a minimum of six months from the perspective of the business owner.

First, I don't hire based upon a measly incentive, I add an employee because my business needs the new employee as my sales/services are in demand. Improving a flailing economy is about creating an environment that stirs up new or repeat customers, not about adding a payroll member who comes to work to learn he has nothing to do. I am going to hire regardless if the net effect on my bottom line is positive. Only in Obama's math classroom does $4,000 look bigger than the $40,000 it takes in salary, benefits and training expenses it costs to bring on a new employee. Absurd.

Next, another example of what this administration is all about--picking winners and losers! You have been unemployed for 5 months, the tax credit does not apply so you look less attractive to the hirer. Move along, continue cashing your Obama unemployment check, we don't need your application. Any legal implications? It has a little of that Affirmative Action stench to me.

Third, what prevents me the business owner from not manipulating the credit offer? I have been looking for a reason to toss out Pooky the burger flipeer so I fire him. Out with Pooky, in with Cuz Eddie, the post-6 month unemployed dog washer. There is a net gain of ZERO in terms of unemployment numbers as one just replaced the other, but I now have a $4000 tax offset-- SWEET deal for me, BAD for the gubmint, HORRENDOUS for us the taxpayer.

Let's get real, the American business owner is not going to hire anyone for 3 simple reasons:

The albatross known as Obamacare and all of its ramifications
The uncertainty of the tax direction of this administration. As it is, this job's bill is funded by increased taxes on those who make over $200K, many who are the very owner of these businesses President What's-A-Lemonade Stand is trying to stimulate.
Strangulation by regulation. During its first 26 months, the Obama administration imposed 75 new major regulations with reported costs to the private sector exceeding $40 billion.Business owners are now having to direct monies for compliant officers rather than focusing on growth.

This whole plan has nothing to do with jobs. The motivation is simply to develop a bill without considering any GOP input and then turn around and blame the GOP for nixing what is nothing more than a failure we have already seen, better known as The Stimulus Boondoggle of 2009. Unfortunately, the only one who remains unaware of the Obama chicanery is Obama himself.

Even a blind man in a dark room petting a black cat should be able to see the stupidity of the tax gimmickry....496 days remaining for the Party of Unintended Consequences...

Is there anything this Badministration bothers to take time out to research? Wiki? Bueller? McFly? Anyone? First, we have their ~~oversight~~ intentional deceitfulness on display when they schedule the Joint Session before Congress Jobs Plan on TV the same night the GOP debate which has been scheduled for over six months-- now we have this:

First, watch the 2 minute video of U.S. ~~Labor Secretary~~ Union Fondler, Hilda "Illegals Have A Right To Fair Wages" Solis, as she boldly exclaims the pride and joy of supporting her American workers by purchasing a new Chevrolet Equinox.

Note her money line: “What better example could I set if I encouraged my staff to go and purchase and seek how we could acquire a vehicle that would for me would send a signal that we’re for supporting our American workers, American-made products, fuel efficient as well." She then goes on to yammer about the blah-blah Obama economy, blah-blah ~~Detroit~~ liberal cesspool, blah-blah female workers, etc.

The one iddy-biddy problem with her enthusiastic drivel-- ya ready-- THE CROSSOVER SUV IS BUILT AND ASSEMBLED IN CANADA FROM PARTS ALSO MADE IN CANADA. Well, except the transmission, which is made in--drum roll-- MEXICO (see here).

There you go, GM, Government Motors, now has an international division-- woot! With Obama's two new ~~job-touting~~ campaign buses that were manufactured in Canada and now this, you have got to wonder--......is Obama President of Canada- (oh God, make it true!).

Perhaps the scariest observation over the past 3 years is the thought Joe Biden might be the brightest puppy in the Obama litter...

Five-hundred and seven sunsets to go...

Nosedive...

noreply@blogger.com (david) — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 20:39:00 +0000

Falling faster than a Roseanne Barr swan dive from an Acapulco cliff is yours truly, Barack Hussein Obama!

The Gallup poll released Sunday has President Obama at an abysmal 39% approval rating and that is with Osama Bin Laden's head resting on Obama's mantle. If you factor out the 13% U.S. Black population which marches lock-step with the President, his actual rating is upper-twenties. If you go one step further and remove the adoring, fondling, drooling and rose-colored lens wearing main stream media from the equation and replace them with the forever gone integrity-filled, fair and balanced journalists, he would probably poll at about 20%.

For the "But Bush" crowd, at the exact same point in his first term, Gallup had Bush at 60% approval. Yes, the George W. Bush without the unanimous support of the Black population, but with the constant pounding and insulting by the 3-letter networks, was at majority-plus favorability.

No worries though. The “Big Ol’ Hunk of Nothing on Two Thick Slices of Nada” Obama job-~~promoting~~ killing bus tour hits the road today to boast of their 9.2% unemployment rate. The 3 ~~battleground, but this is not a campaign tour~~ states, Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois, will visit have lost almost 200, 000 jobs since Erkel took office, now that is a success story that must be told. Of course, his 1st stop in Minnesota, has a 6.9% unemployment rate. One way to avoid the aerial 'maters is to select a TripTek route that avoids high unemployment cities, pretty convenient huh?

They are soft-selling this as a Listening Tour, cause you know, he listened so well over Obamacare, Stimulus, TARP, the Libyan War and the Debt Ceiling debate. Seriously, Beltone can't even offer a hearing solution for this man so I had to go on the Web to find a hearing aid that might assist. I do believe it will be a perfect fit.

In the heartland of America, I can imagine how many One Finger waves he is gonna receive--does Obamacare cover Single-Digit Carpel Tunnel Syndrome? Traffic Engineering in Peosta, Iowa, in the interest of Single-Digit Carpel Tunnel prevention, has reprogrammed their crosswalk lights in anticipation of the arrival of Debt-Man Walking..

The ~~Give me liberty or give me death~~ Give me socialism and Give me debt tour "will be run by the White House, not Obama’s re-election campaign", a White House official said. Like they are two different entities? Since this is nothing more than a campaign tour funded by the taxpayers, I have from inside sources what 2012 campaign sticker is appearing on the bumper of the Dead End Bus Tour:

To conclude, just more evidence of the complete disconnect of this badministration. Yet another tour, all be it this one by bus, with no concrete plans in place that will impact our job growth numbers. Regardless of any attempt to spin his economic record, 61% of America knows THE TRUTH!

524 days of insanity remain...

The Bus That Makes Left Turns Only...

noreply@blogger.com (david) — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 20:45:00 +0000

DJIA plummeting a 1,000 points in a week...Debt Deal = Raw Deal..400,000 unemployment claims today...Double-Dip recession around the bend..9.2% unemployment..G.D.P. revised downward to .4, yes that is a POINT..eluding to Tea Party as "terrorists"...add $4 trillion to the debt in 2 years--HEY I HAVE AN IDEA, LET'S GO ON A MIDWEST CAMPAIGN BUS TOUR AND TELL THE CORNHUSKERS HOW SWELLINGLY SWELL WE ARE!

The White House confirmed Rollin' Blunder is at taxpayer's expense. Let's see-- heading to the 2012 battleground states-- they claim "it is an official event as part of the new focus on jobs". NEW JOB FOCUS? He has now claimed 15 verifiable times he is pivoting to concentrate on jobs. The guy who couldn't manage a garage sale now has the issue solved, can't wait to hear something new from the human echo chamber. I will concede this-- he will create one new job: BUS DRIVER!

Fueled by kitchen grease from Moochelle's kitchen, Greyhound One is on the roll for 3 days.Wouldn't it be hilarious if a conservative flash mob all showed up and crawled underneath the bus displaying Americans Under The Bus Tour signs?

Is The One really gonna slum it down to hop on a bus? I am laying out coins The Cash for Clunkers, Shovel Ready, Leading from Behind Pimp Tour bus is swinging by every major airport enroute to scoop him up under cover using the Casey Anthony Hide-N-Ride plan.

The Magical Misery Index Tour. See it Live…Bring your Unemployed friends…and don’t forget your TEA Party signs!

You know how this plays out in Dave's fantasy land? Rick Perry buys him a Texas diesel pusher naming it The Stalker Tour and pulls into every Midwest town square bailing out of the Captain's chair with his Stetson on and launches himself out of the bus and greets everyone with a "Howdy Ya'll, let's get this party started!" Who do you think would have the bigger fan base? Is there any doubt..

If the country survives, 535 days...

McNanny State

noreply@blogger.com (david) — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 22:12:00 +0000

Aren't we all excited that First Dietitian Michelle Obama is enthralled with the revamping of the McDonald's Happy Meal. French fries' portions are reduced. Out with the apple caramel dip and in with fresh apples. Why- because the ~~consumers~~ government decided it would be best. McMoochelle added "McDonald’s has continued to evolve its menu, and I look forward to hearing about the progress of today’s commitments, as well as efforts in the years to come.” Years to come? Banana split with no ice cream? Out with fruit juice boxes, in with wheat grass? McTofu Burger?

Did I miss a phone call from Dr. Spock ? Last I recall, my Happy Meal aged kids never placed a single order. They were too busy launching themselves off the slide into the germ-filled ball pit while I let Sally know what I wanted. The government must think as parents we approach the counter and inquire, "Sally, can you help me out, I am a bit retarded with my pubic education and all. I am looking for a healthy choice--would you recommend to me the Sausage McCellulite or the bowl of Cheerios with a carton of milk?"

Let me be clear, I am a proponent of good eating choices. My wife can vouch that I don’t bring a shovel to the dinner table. She focuses our diet on REAL foods. We have two garden areas. My Colorado family will attest to my Healthy Choice dinners. I am aware of my height/weight proportions. It takes discipline, not governance.

What I am against is the spending of umpteen dollars by the destitute Federal

government to influence and educate on us on areas we should have grasped as 2nd graders. I trust allocated funding by our States as well as our local school systems will be directed toward making wise decisions. There are passionate folks out there, ala Jamie Oliver and even a high school friend of mine who are committed to the cause. We do not need legislation mandating salt removal from restaurant tables, mandatory posting of nutrition content on drive-thru menu boards and a hypocritical First Lady trying to impose her ways on the fast food industry.

We get it---sugar-bad, salt-bad, fat- bad, couch potato-bad. We don’t need a 51^st state- McNanny. Can we get a compromise-- fried apple pie please.

More ridiculous waste. The USDA recently spent $2 million dollars (from the spare change drawer) to create this new food chart, also known as the Michelle Hierarchy of Feeds. Seriously, is this not ground-breaking? Let's create a PIE chart for healthy eating.Who would have known this without a $2 million dollar commitment! You could have offered that challenge up to a 2nd grader and offered a Ding Dong as a reward.

Government intervention in obesity prevention efforts has been an abysmal failure. Their biggest undertaking was the Nutrition Education and Label Act of 1990. Yes, nutrition labels began 21 years ago. America now ranks 9th amongst the Fattest Countries list with 74.1% of citizens over 15 years old being overweight. Wow- Americans don't read fine print--who would of thunk? I am a proud statistic, one too many Happy Meals growing up is where I place my blame.But let me guess, this will be the rhetorical response from the Left: "But Dave, if not for these efforts, we would probably ranked even higher". Yes, the same mentality that brought us the "jobs saved or created" figure Obama loves to boast about.

In closing and breaking off the wire, we have the first reaction of the new McDonald's change. Heart-breaking for Lil Johnny man.

Oh well, with the debt crisis about to bankrupt us as the two parties form their plans of deception, I am sure Happy Meals will be off limits to the family budget regardless.

noreply@blogger.com (david) — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 16:51:00 +0000

When you know you have no solution and you know your economy continues its nosedive, who do you call-- CBS News. Yes, the Covering up Barack's Screwups network quickly accommodated his request to run cover for him, as per usual.

Yesterday, during the interview, President Barack Insane Obama stated the following: "Well this is not just a matter of Social Security checks, these are veterans checks, these are folks on disability, their checks. There are about 70 million checks that go out --I can not guarantee those checks go out on August 3rd if we haven't resolved this issue because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it".

Translation: "Nice Social Security check you have there, it would be a shame if something happened to it".

When all else fails, let's play the "scare" card. Let's pick winners and losers. Let's take hostages. Let's have class wars. Sound familiar? Can you say "Stimulus", "Obamacare" or "Bailout". When you are a Magna Cum Laude graduate of the Chicago School of Thuggery, that is all you have left to play. Your arrogance King Obama will be your undoing.

Here is a simple look at the Treasury's forecasted revenue for August:
Income- $172 billion.
Expenses- $307 billion.

Monthly Line Items-
Medicare/caid- $50 billion
Social Security- $49 billion
Military Troop Pay- $3 billion
(Remaining obligations)- $205 billion (Yes, a whole different blog post, but let's move on).

$102 billion for those 3 line items with $172 billion forecasted revenue. ANY DECISION TO NOT PAY THESE FOLKS RESTS AT THE HANDS OF ONE BARACK INSANE OBAMA!

And while you are busy with your scare-a-thon, stop food stamps and welfare checks. Let the parasite class the Liberal agenda has been cultivating know the harsh reality of a bankrupt government for a few months and then ask them if they now favor working out solutions.

I know personally of two blog commenters and my airport shuttle driver who got frantic calls from their parents as they heard this come out of the President's orifice. Even today, at a Senate Hearing, to alleviate concerns from the masses, the head of the Treasury Dept. had to state "Unless the President is making this a political decision, there will be money on Aug. 3rd to pay entitlements".

Just this morning, a Gallup poll confirmed: 42% of American OPPOSE RAISING THE DEBT CEILING while 19% favor raising it--so of course, President Contrarian supports what the people oppose (see Obamacare). As to the other 1/3 polled, they had no opinion-- they were probably too busy looking for their next meal to focus on such trivial issues.

No surprise today also from a Rasmussen poll , Election 2012- Generic Republican 48%, Obama 43%. That's right, a ticket of SpongeBob Squarepants/Moldy Loaf of Bread boots out Comrade Obama.

Maybe after yesterday's quote, Americans will finally wake up. Your Social Security and Medicaire payments that you so diligently paid into the system never went to the lock box. Your military contract has no value. If that doesn't concern you, maybe losing your tax-free/deferred status of your 401s, 403, IRA's will-- that is the final pot of gold the Kleptocrat Party will be after next, MARK MY WORDS!

When Twit-in-Chief had his self-promoting, staged Twitter Town Hall, he commented the following:

"We froze federal pay for federal workers for two years. Now, that wasn’t real popular, as you might imagine, among federal workers. On the other hand, we were able to do that precisely because we wanted to prevent layoffs and we wanted to make sure that we sent a signal that everybody is going to have to make some sacrifices, including federal workers. By the way, people who work in the White House, they’ve had their pay frozen since I came in, our high-wage folks. So they haven’t had a raise in two and a half years".

Fact Numero Uno: Across the board Federal pay freezes went into effect January 2011, Obama began office January 2009. See link. Raises banned in 2009 were only for those making $100, 000 or more, not for everyone, as Obama cites.

Fact Numero Dos: 75% of all White House staffers got raises in the 2009-2010 time frame.See link.

Fact Numero Tres: 54% of all White House staffers enjoyed raises from 2010-2011. See link here and here.

There you go, The Obama Lie-fecta!

How about this year? Oh yeah, Obama's "zero" has been rounded up to 1.4 million. PATHETIC.

When the White House was asked by a conservative blogger to respond to their own statistical data which is available to the public (and was contrary to what Obama said), they stated "Pay increases were given for a variety of reasons, ranging from promotions to additional responsibilities". So once again, Pres. Obamaurkel deprives us of the facts. A more credible response would have been "no one at the White House received a pay increases, unless they deserved it, or sometimes even when they didn’t, or because we changed their job title or because we gave them a few more tasks. Otherwise, absolutely no one got a raise".

I remember when the media assured us that everything the President (Bush) said was a lie, even when it wasn’t, and explained to us that this was because he was so stupid. But now they assure us that everything the President (Obama) says is the truth, even when it isn’t, and explain to us that it is because he is so brilliant. Once again, the mainstream media nowhere to be found. Well, excuse me, they have been beside themselves with the one thing that they believe matters most to Americans-- THEY FOUND CASEY INNOCENT!

The fact is since Obama bamboozled 52% of the American populace. White House employees have averaged an 8% annual raise where the private sector has suffered at less than 3%.

I am demanding an Obama pay-freeze from my employer this year!

Journalist Suspended for Telling the Truth

noreply@blogger.com (david) — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 17:52:00 +0000

Let me set the stage. Lovers of Obama in priority order:

1) Moochelle, his wife

2) His 2 daughters

3) The black voter

4) Tie- NY Times and MSNBC News

Mark Halperin, Senior Political Analyst with MSNBC, sums up the Obama press conference yesterday quite eloquently. In case you missed it, it was Obama's usual complete ideological, petulant, condescending, divisive, dismissive and finger-pointing self.

He blamed Republicans for delaying the budget process when, in fact, Democrats had absolute majorities in Congress for 600 days and failed to pass one. Obama's own budget proposal was defeated 97-0 by the Senate in January, yes Obama's Democratic controlled senate. Obama proposed it was time to begin taxing corporate jet owners even though Obama's Stimu-less program had tax incentives for corporate jet owners. The man who has played 17 rounds of golf this year, hosted 33 fund raisers and is headed to Marxist Vineyard in a month told Congress it was time to "get back to work". Any pattern?

Amidst all of his demonizing of his usual enemies, he forgot the correct ages of his daughters-- twice. But, since the pressitutes are way too busy concerning themselves with Michelle Bachman failing to know the correct birth city of John Wayne, you won't hear about that faux-pas.

Now, sit back, and discover Urkel Sr.'s new name.

Of course, MSNBC suspended Mark indefinitely and he has been sent to time-out with Anthony Weiner. He must also complete the Libtard Re-education Boot Camp.

Let's get this right-- MSNBC employees can call conservative author Laura Ingram a c**t and keep their job. MSNBC can call Bush a "murderer", "idiot" and "buffoon" and no one gets axed. MSNBC can continuously use the sexual derogatory "Teabagger" term and everyone stays employed. BUT OH NO, THE DICK-TATOR GETS SLAMMED BY MSNBC AND THEY IMMEDIATELY FIRE THEIR REPORTER. No liberal media bias, right? RIGHT? RIGHT?

To conclude, MSNBC has apologized for the involuntary release of the facts.

When you don't feel like writing, then cheat, and steal someone elses work. Here is a 3 minute video on the destruction of the United States over the past 30 months.

Thanks goes out to the 52% of the 2008 voting public along with our nation's ~~journalists~~ propagandists who thought it was a brilliant idea to install a ~~leader~~ puppet of (once) the most powerful country in the world who had zero business experience, zero leadership experience and zero military experience all to exonerate their white guilt. Yes, the same 52% who are now shocked over the zero results, but feel 100% better because they voted for a man of color.

And no, I am not being a racist. I am a huge fan of Alan West and Herman Cain. I asbolutely could support either them as a GOP 2012 nominee. Cain/West 2012.

What is astonishing is after seeing that video he still polls at 50% for "Personal Favorability". Translated, seems like a good guy to grab a cold one with, but rest assured he will stick you with the tab.

To conclude, with the continuous down spiral since he took office, I have only 2 hypotheses left:

Obama is incompetent.
Obama knows what he is doing and is deliberately destroying the country.

Pick your evil.

Welcome To Our Business Genius!

noreply@blogger.com (david) — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 00:12:00 +0000

"President Obama explained to NBC News that the reason companies aren’t hiring are not because of his policies, it’s because the economy is so automated. . . . “There are some structural issues with our economy where a lot of businesses have learned to become much more efficient with a lot fewer workers. You see it when you go to a bank and you use an ATM, you don’t go to a bank teller, or you go to the airport and you’re using a kiosk instead of checking in at the gate. So all these things have created changes. . . .”

I had to replace my computer keyboard when I hurled my morning java onto it. Our 9.1% unemployment rate is now tied to our ATM industry? Once again, the consequence of electing a mere, career Community Organizer who perpetuated the issue by selecting a badministration comprised of 8% who had any private sector business experience. Economic illiterate. Seriously, if this President had a second brain, it would die of loneliness.

Let's look at the many angles of absolute lunacy from the self-proclaimed and media endorsed "smartest president evah"!

The ATM came on line in 1960. Average unemployment from it's launch until President O'boxofrox took office was 5%. Since he took office, unemployment has almost doubled that so, of course, it has to be all those unemployed tellers. Who knew--ATM's were created by angels, delivered by storks, installed by goblins and repaired by martians-- no jobs there, right? The reality is the internet and technology revolution has created 2.6 jobs for every 1 lost.

My Lone Star state has led the nation with creating 38% of the nation's jobs since mid-2009, all of course due to a zero tolerance policy on ATM machines. Happy for the jobs, but boy it is a pain in the arse saddling up the horse, trotting down to the bank and securing Trigger to the hitching post. The reality in Texas-- it is us taxpayers who are Obama's ATM!

"Time is money", ever heard of that Scooter? Oh I so yearn for the days that I had to wait in line for 20 minutes to get a $20 bill from my friendly teller. I hanker for the mornings where I had my face smashed against the lobby doors awaiting their 9am opening hours. Oh the fun of spending a half-hour twisting through the airline counter rope-a-dope lugging 80 pounds luggage just to say my howdies to the ticket agent, where have you gone? On-line shopping apparently has killed off sales clerks, shame on you QVC robots. Barry weeps over the invention of the backhoe-- we lost 500 shovel diggers which was preceded by1,000 folks with spoons. Oh please President Mensa, launch me back to the Sixties.

So how does the CEO of the USA justify his solar power strategies? Just think of the number of jobs he just killed, all those folks that were hopping on treadmills to bring power into your home. How about his teleprompter-- how does he sleep at night burdened by the number of cue-card holders' lives he destroyed?

Credit though to Obama as at my age of 52 and looking to re-wire rather than retire, he has significantly helped narrow down my job focus. My finalists-- candle-maker or cobbler. I will have to check my Encyclopedia Brittanica to see what looks most promising.

To conclude, the Obama economic theory on employment is private businesses are too efficient and, as a result, destroys jobs. So, he opts to create a bloated, inefficient government to reduce unemployment. Brilliant, can't wait for the 2012 campaign slogan--"Vote Barack Flintstone--Taking You Back To Kerosene Lanterns, One Day At A Time".

We all know now why his college transcripts were sealed.

Altitude Sickness

noreply@blogger.com (david) — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 00:32:00 +0000

Just like the government, I am here to help. A brief hiatus from the political blog while I serve you up some helpful travel advice to help prevent you from becoming sick of flying.

Twenty-one months, 158 flights, 120,000 flight miles and approximately 10 hours per week in airports and planes have given me some excellent insight. Sense and courtesy have one thing in common—they are both uncommon. “Really?” and “Seriously?” are emblazoned in my frontal lobe as a result of this commuter lifestyle.

So, here you go-- one tip per month of airline travel. Sit back, relax and enjoy the write.

1. What is it about men and airport restrooms? I am not impressed when you are standing at the urinal with your cell phone in one hand and your New York libtard politician in your right. (So much for the hiatus). What emergency cannot wait until you depress the flush handle? Furthermore, just because I am standing next to you, I really don’t feel the need to engage in conversation, so now you have two things to zip up.

2. Parents flying with young uns, walk in FRONT of them as you board. It is no fun retrieving them sprinting to Row 31 when you are assigned to Row 8. Failure to comply will result in you learning the definition of ‘airplane salmon’.

3. If you are a 35 year old male, please do not take a detour into the cockpit to ask the Captain for your plastic “wings”, this should have been done 3 decades ago.

4. Unless you are on Southwest, you have a seat assignment. The flight attendant does not know your seat number anymore than the movie usher knows where your spouse is sitting.

5. Ladies, as you march toward your seat along the narrow path of the regional jet aircraft, to minimize eye injuries and cheek chafing to us passengers sitting in aisle seats, please tuck your boobs inward.

6. "To expedite the boarding process, please enter your seat row and then place your item into the overhead bin” does not mean for you to stand with your big keester in the aisle way while you search for your Kindle buried below your box of Zingers in one of your 3 carry-on, army-sized duffle bags.

7. Walking aboard the aircraft 5 minutes late saying “Sorry my fellow passengers, my kids really wanted Jamba Juice” will not make any new friends for you during the flight.

8. When the flight attendant says “The aircraft door has been secured, it is now time to turn off your cell phones”, there is no 10 minute grace period. Disconnect good grief; you just spoke to them from the restroom.

9. Sorry fellow flight attendants, I probably won’t pay close attention to the life vest segment when I know the largest body of water on my flight route rests in the plane's rear lavatory.

10. Dudes, remove your sunglasses. It is 11pm and you are in an aluminum tube, not really a dating mecca.

11. Do NOT lean your seat backs when you note a 6ft2 215 lb man behind you— your dandruff and my laptop do not mix well.

12. Unless you see Mohammed launching a flame-thrower, screaming on the plane is not really necessary.

13. There is a difference between a reading light and the attendant call button—clue, one has light bulb graphic on it—note the difference.

14. Passengers do not appreciate when “Snooky” farts in her carry-on kennel.

15. I am not a medical doctor, but my research reveals “Folks, the Captain has illuminated the seat belt sign” frequently causes “sudden onset” urinary tract infection and diarrhea.

16. When you hear “For our beverage service, we have Coke products” does not mean the possibility exists that a flight attendant brought aboard a Dr. Pepper just for you. Get over yourself.

17. While at 36,000 feet cruising altitude, why are you asking the flight attendant “Can you tell me how much longer?” If the answer is longer than you thought, then what—you going to see if the pilot can take a short cut? You gonna call someone from your turned-off cell phone?

18. If sitting in the exit row where your assistance may be required, your fellow passengers appreciate you not cashing in your 7 free drink coupons on the same flight.

19. If your baby is sound asleep in your arms, let it be. This is not the time to reach down into your purse tucked below the seat to grab your Glamour magazine resulting in your baby performing its first cartwheel. Similarly, if your child screams for more than 10 consecutive minutes, DO SOMETHING. Your passengers just want to see an itsy-bitsy effort. —“Punkin, it’s going to be OK” solves nothing.

20. When you begin to deplane, the time to remove your items from the overhead compartment is when the plane is awaiting the jet-way to pull up, not when the person in front of you is already kissing their family member at baggage claim. It’s like sitting at the ‘protected green arrow’, why can’t there be some flow and sequencing to this process!

21. Take a look at the baggage carousel—see all of those black suitcases, they are all not yours.

There you go. Pack your common sense and courtesy and pray that I am not on your flight judging your every move!

And Obama is still incompetent...

Ya know, I leave a few of my conservative allies in charge while I grab a quick trip to Cancun, and you mess it up for us. I vacationed in a 3^rd world country and I returned to one—cool, no culture shock and strikingly similar weather. Obama was so on the brink of saving us from a depression until the following happened while my feet were buried in the cool white sands of Mexico.

·         Dow average had its longest weekly slump since 2004.
·         US housing prices fell now beating the slide of the Great Depression
·

China

has dropped 97 percent of its holdings in U.S. Treasury bills, decreasing its ownership of the short-term U.S. government securities from a peak of $210.4 billion in May 2009 to $5.69 billion in March 2011
·         Democrat Congressman Weiner exposed his wiener. Lies, blames, cover up..followed by cry and confess..resign-heck no, he is the party that represents no values, morals or ethics--why should he..
·         John Edwards, a two-time candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, was indicted on charges of conspiracy and false statements.
·         The latest survey out reveals Americans are growing increasingly doubtful about direction of the US economy. Some 61 percent, say they don't expect to return to their respective pre-recession lifestyles until the spring of 2014, if ever.
·         The mainstream paparazzi whined about Sarah Palin bus tour bemoaning “they are speeding, running red lights, blah, blah”. You know, the same buffoons who despise her now complain because they can’t keep up with her.
·         9.1% funemployment! Where is Nancy Pelosi now, you know, the same witch that screeched in 2006 when George Bush unemployment skyrocketed to 4.4%
·         In May, the private sector added 54,000 jobs. One year ago, Sheriff Joe Biden assured us 500,000 jobs this summer—guess the V.P. struggled with where he placed his ‘zeroes’ on his abacus back in his school day.
·         The Dems lambasted Rep. Ryan’s Medicare plan, but of course, have nothing to offer as an alternative. Come to think of it, with a failed Stimu-less, failed Quantitative Easing, failed Middle East policy, failed Obamacare, NO PLAN IS THEIR BEST PLAN.
·         The Democrat-controlled leadership has now gone 767 consecutive days without passing a budget. Because ya know when you are carrying $14 trillion in debt, WHO NEEDS A BUDGET!
·         Last summer, Obama promised we’d get all the money back from the GM bailout, and last week he celebrated we only lost $14 billion. Hooray! The company that taxpayers bailed out, then turned around and filed bankruptcy, then deserted their bondholders while simultaneously filling up their union coffers, Obama now chants MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
·         Mazda said adios to their

· The Commander in Chief played golf on Memorial Day, absolutely DESPICABLE behavior!
· The “days, not weeks” Libyan G.I. Joe Summer adventure continued. The House passed a resolution rebuking Scooter for not seeking Congressional approval authorizing war.

With a wreckcovery like this, who needs a depression—OBAMA is fantastically awesome. Thank you 52%ers!

(Oil) Slick Lies!

noreply@blogger.com (david) — Mon, 16 May 2011 22:01:00 +0000

On my drive to the Austin airport, my wife quipped "what are you thinking about?" It's a game you start after your 20th anniversary when you think the conversation tank has dried up. My response "ahh, just trying to calculate gas mileage in my head". To which she replied, "what is it going to take to get the price to come down?"

Here is what is going to take-- JOURNALISM! The media that needs to call out the President on his deception and lies. Anyone else sick of the headline recently "Big Oil Companies' Profits at Record Highs"? If news reporting had any sense of integrity, these would be the questions they would present to President OILbama:

Obama: "I am directing my administration to ramp up U.S. oil production by extending existing leases in the Gulf of Mexico and off Alaska’s coast and holding more frequent lease sales in a federal petroleum reserve in Alaska".

Reporter with a backbone: "Is this new change in attitude tied to the fact your "I Assassinated Bin Laden Victory Tour" is now over as has been demonstrated by your approval ratings dipping back below 50%? In reality Mr. President, you are only extending existing leases instead of approving new areas to drill, hardly an accomplishment that will result in lower gas prices".

Obama: "We now have all time high number of oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico".

Reporter with a backbone: "Mr. Pres, your statement is partially correct, but very deceiving. What you did not reveal is the number of PRODUCING oil rigs. Four days prior to the Deepwater Horizon explosion, we had 55 working rotary rigs, we now have 25 working rigs in the Gulf."

Obama: "Oil production from federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico reached an all-time high.”

Reporter with a backbone: "According to the Energy Information Agency, domestic offshore oil production will fall 13 percent in 2011, a loss of about 220,000 barrels/day, mainly due to the continued lack of permits for the Gulf of Mexico. Do you really think fuel prices would be at near record highs if our supply was also at record highs? Do you routinely struggle with logic Mr. President?"

Obama: “We can’t escape the fact that we control only 2% of the world’s oil.”

Reporter with a backbone: "Your 2% figure comes from the oil fields where we currently have authorization to drill. You fail to mention the 10 billion barrels available in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the 86 billion barrels available offshore in the Outer Continental Shelf and the 800 billion barrels of oil we have locked in shale in Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado. Barry, if we released those fields to production which total 3x the size of Saudi Arabian reserves, do you not think it would have a drastic impact on reducing our fuel costs?"

Obama: "We are going to loan Brazil $2 billion to explore and drill off their shores and then we are going to be one of their biggest customers."

Reporter with a backbone: "Let me understand this, you oppose drilling from our resources due to environmental, lefty whacky-doodle concerns, but yet encourage another country to do it by loaning them money we are going to have to borrow from China and then telling we will buy from them. Mr. President, are you routinely this hypocritical?"

Obama: "I think the $4 billion we provide to oil companies in forms of a subsidy should stop immediately and should be directed toward green energy research."

Reporter with a backbone: "Mr President, do you understand oil companies DO NOT receive any special subsidies, they are merely complying with a tax code that is uniform to all corporations--you know, just like G.E.! So if we cut subsidies immediately (translated-change the tax code), do you not think the producer would pass on that financial loss in the form of a price increase to consumers at the gas pump and worsen our situation ? Barry, did you study any courses involving economics in your college days or were you just busy experimenting with cocaine?

Obama: "When oil companies are making huge profits and you’re struggling at the pump, and we’re scouring the federal budget for spending we can afford to do without...”

Reporter with a backbone: Research consistently shows oil companies net profit per gallon is 8.5 cents. On the other hand, the Federal tax collects 59 cents per gallon. AND IT IS OIL COMPANIES YOU WANT TO ATTACK? In 2008, the average net profit margin for the S&P Energy sector in 2008 was 9.7% while Google reported a net profit margin of 25% in that same quarter AND ITS OIL COMPANIES YOU WANT TO ATTACK? Oil companies have profits of $35 billion in one quarter but the Fed. govt has a national debt of $14.3 trillion dollars AND IT IS OIL COMPANIES YOU WANT TO ATTACK?

And where is the gas price the highest at $6.03 per gallon--H A W A I I-- you know, the state that may have given birth to this clown and voted him into office in 2008 by large margins. Umm--umm-umm, "waiter, can you super-size my heaping bowl of Karma soup!"

To conclude, yet one more example of a President who is in office to pick winners and losers and a shotgun-riding media who straps on their knee pads each day to bow down to the Boy King. These energy policies are making it hard on the very people the Libtards say they are out to protect, the low and middle class-- more karma. The bottom line-- the only thing this President drills for are for votes.

Here is a great 1 minute video the opposition needs to run starting today:

President Flip-Flop Takes Credit for Capture!

noreply@blogger.com (david) — Mon, 02 May 2011 22:52:00 +0000

Disclaimer: Hat tip to Pres. Obama for authorizing the mission to enter the Pakistani compound and use deadly force without advising the Pakistani government of our intentions. I salute you for that decision! You are also recognized for your phone call to Pres. GW Bush to celebrate the great news, although it was despicable of you not to mention him in your speech, other than one, inconsequential remark. However, the absolute credit goes to our military supremacy, specifically our Navy Seals, and the execution of their plan.

A brief synopsis of what we know now from the military officials. The primary tip originated from a courier being detained in GITMO where effective interrogating techniques began with this subject back in 2007. Let me repeat—the road to this capture began at GITMO under Pres. Bush.

Let’s take a quick glance at the collective group of the war on terrorism legislation that played a role in the capture of Bin Laden and the positions of Bush and Obama:

Warrantless wiretapping— concerns surveillance of persons within the United States during the collection of foreign intelligence as part of the war on terror. Initiated by/supported by Bush. Obama vehemently campaigned against it, but entered office and flip-flopped in April 2009 and embraced it.

GITMO- Detention facility opened up under Pres Bush in 2002 in Guantanamo Bay to hold war on terror prisoners. Obama campaigned to close it and wanted to transition military tribunals to civilian courts in U.S. cities. He then flip-flopped this year conceding it was best to leave military detention ‘as is’.

Water boarding/Interrogating Techniques- Interrogation technique which water is poured over the face of an immobilized captive, causing the individual to experience the sensation of drowning. Used since 1976 and supported by Bush. Opposed by Obama as a form of torture. But no worries here folks, the Lefties are ecstatic about the 2 bullets in Bin Laden's skull, but dousing one's face with a lil H20 is horrendous!

Signing statements- A so-called “work around” to redefine legislation. Used by Bush, campaigned against by Obama, and then flip-flopped and began using the process.

Indefinite detention- The incarceration of an arrested person by a national government or law enforcement agency without a trial. Supported by Bush for war terrorists, campaigned against by Obama, and then flip-flopped on March 7, 2011 and now approves.

The Patriot Act- was signed into law by Pres. Bush on October 26, 2001. Provided appropriate tools required to intercept and obstruct terrorism. Then-Senatorial candidate Obama in 2003 branded the Patriot Act "shoddy and dangerous" and pledged to dump it. He then flip-flopped as President and extended the Act in 2009.

The Protect America Act- Signed in 2007 by Bush. It removed the warrant requirement for government surveillance of foreign intelligence targets "reasonably believed" to be outside of the United States. As a Senator, voted against by now President Obama.

Military Commissions Act- Authorized trial by military commission for violations of the law of war, and for other purposes, signed by Bush in 2006. In 2009, under Obama, Act was amended to “improve protections for defendants charge with war crimes”.

My (few) Lib friends were right in 2008 when they said "Dave, if you vote for McCain, you will get a continuation of Bush’s wartime policies." I DID---THEY WERE RIGHT!

Facts are facts. The White House was a passenger on a train engineered by President Bush. At very best, President Obama has been a very reluctant Commander in Chief. His taking credit for the operation that led to OBL's non-stop ticket to Hell is nauseating. The game was won, we inserted Obama in to pitch the 9th inning, now the Left wants to name him the winner in the box score!

A great day for freedom, a great day for America and a great day for liberal hypocrisy!

Don't Mess With Texas....

noreply@blogger.com (david) — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 22:50:00 +0000

Well looky what happens to Pres. Thin Skin when the interviewer is not Kaite Couric from SeeBS news. How do you say "agitated" in Kenyan? This is the poster interview for the consequence of political correctness. For his entire life, he has been part of the coddled class--"born of a mixed marriage", "a black child", "abandoned by his dad", blah, blah, blah. Dare to question him on his failures and deceit and he lashes back.

"Let me finish" the President demands. YOU NEVER FINISH, America is tired of your eternal bloviating, hence the interruption. Reporters ask you a 3 minute question and you offer up 10 minute non-answer. Props to WFAA, from Dallas, TX for sending a reporter with a backbone to see how Commander in Chief Crankypants reacts when his best friend, Mr. Teleprompter, is a no show. There goes his 'likability' rating, the only area left in positive territory.

What you may find more interesting is the number of uninformed responses (politically correct for 'lies') he rolls out in the 2 plus-minute clip.

"Texas is a Republican state for historic reasons". Pres. I Flunked History has his facts wrong (insert surprise look), as Texas has had 39 Democrat governors, 6 Republicans. IMAGINE IF PALIN WOULD HAVE FLUBBED THAT STAT? But Sir Special Needs Child is granted his eternal pass from being fact-checked.
“Gov. Perry helped balance his budget with about $6 billion worth of federal help — which he happily took — and then started blaming the members of Congress who had offered that help". Does that not sound like Barry cut Texas a personal check? Once again SO OUT OF TOUCH with the reality it was our money he was doling out, NOT HIS.
" I lost Texas by a few points". Yes, in addition to history, math is hard for this guy. You won the country by 4%, you lost Texas by 10%-- a 14% swing! Pathetic.
"Politics is changing in Texas". Last November the Texas House came within 1 vote of reaching Super Majority status sending 22 incumbent Democrats packing. It is a changing, but NOT in your direction..
"Hey, I love Texas." Yes, you adore the Lone Star state so much that you closed down drilling in the Gulf, ignored Gov. Perry when he authored a letter on responding to immigration issues and ignored Houston's request for NASA shuttle funding. What would be the consequences if he hated us?

If this is what a reporter can do to shake him, what will happen if he has to debate a real conservative? You will hear over the intercom "We need a wet mop on the stage, Obama's tears are pooling on the floor" after he has been annihilated by the likes of a Herman Cain, Allen West or Chris Christie.

And for all of you whom ever wondered what happens to you when YOU MESS WITH TEXAS, you just saw the results. Keep your socialist agenda north of the Red River!
