The Real Truth. If Obama’s Lips are Moving, He’s Lying

April 8, 2011

 

Well our wonderful prez has outdone himself tonight. He just came on the air and patted himself on the back for Congress kicking the can further down the road in passing a stopgap measure on the budget to keep the government running through the fiscal year. Never mind that the lightweight in chief was conspicuous by his absence throughout the whole process—but what can we expect from a man who has spent his entire political career voting present?

 

The fallen messiah tried to couch his incompetence and that of the 535 assholes in Congress in a story about schoolchildren who could now visit the nation’s capital and gaze at the Washington Monument because he and his team of white knights had saved the day and prevented a government shutdown. But the best part is when he spoke of the tax cut that he signed into law earlier this year!! Do you mean the tax cut you stuffed in the stimulus bill that was so meager that 95% of Americans polled were unaware of it, Mr. President? Or do you mean, you vile, lying pig, the tax cut you and your administration have fought tooth and nail against for your entire two years in office? The “Bush” tax cut that the Democratic-majority Congress inveighed against and swore would benefit corporations and the rich. Well perhaps you might like to explain just how it is that you can denounce said corporations when you are in bed with all of them.

 

Tell us, you filthy, lying whore, why you were the #1 recipient of campaign money from Goldman Sachs during the 2008 presidential campaign. Tell us how GE can make billions of profits and not pay a dime in taxes. Tell us why Jeffrey Immelt, the CEO of GE (you know, one of those multi-billion dollar corporations that you’re here to protect us against) was named to your Economic Recovery Board considering the company’s stock has dropped 60% percent since he took over and his company is one of the worst offenders regarding environmental pollution, another issue of such concern to you. It couldn’t be because GE owns NBC News, that pandering, morally debased outfit that helped get you elected, could it?

 

But claiming credit for a tax cut you opposed is but a piffling prevarication in your long string of deceptions and untruths.

 

Let me count the ways:

 

  • Said you would not run for president until you completed your term in the Senate—LIE!
  • Said you would take public funding for your campaign until you found out your war chest was three times larger than McCain’s and flip-flopped: LIE!
  • Said Tony Rezko, William Ayres, and Reverend Wright were just guys from the neighborhood even as you cut seedy real estate deals with Rezko, launched an early campaign from Ayres’ house, and were married by and had your children baptized by Wright: LIES!
  • Said you would run the most transparent administration in history and then stocked it with lobbyists and tax cheats: LIE!
  • Said you would have all healthcare talks aired on C-SPAN: LIE!
  • Said you would put all bills on the White House website for five days for public perusal before signing them: LIE!
  • Said you would close Guantanamo within a year of taking office: LIE!
  • Said you would cease all Guantanamo military commissions and try suspected terrorists, including Khalid Sheik Mohammed, in civilian courts: LIE!
  • Said you would stop the practice of rendition: LIE!
  • Said you would stop drone attacks in Pakistan and Afghanistan but instead have increased them dramatically: LIE!
  • Said you would pull all troops out of Iraq and stop the war within sixteen months of taking office. You were even rewarded with a Nobel Peace Prize for this bit of pablum, but instead sent 40,000 more troops to Afghanistan and started another war in Libya: LIE!
  • Said there would be no earmarks in the $787 billion stimulus: HA! HA! LIE!
  • Said you knew nothing of the voter misconduct by ACORN and had never worked for them even though you were caught on tape talking about your long and proud association with the now-discredited group: LIE!

 

 

 

I could go on and on, but I grow weary—I won’t even get into the several million dollars this charlatan has spent to cover up his past including his birth certificate, his educational transcripts, and his medical records. Do we even know his real name? Is it Obama or Soetero, Barry or Barack, Boss Tweed or just Milquetoast??

 

This man (and I use the term extremely loosely) cannot open his mouth without a lie coming out—he is the very embodiment of a sleazy politician–yet all his acolytes continue to believe he is actually different, is actually above the dirty dealings and unctuous corruption that now defines Washington. Well these people are flat-out stupid—it can no longer be said in more diplomatic terms. If you believe a word from this gutless, dissembling, makes-Clinton-look-honest manipulator then you are a moron…capital M.

Election Day Provides Forum for Americans to Display Their Stupidity…Again!

November 3, 2010

 

 

 

I should have known better. I really should have known better. I went to the polls yesterday buoyed by the thought that this might really be the day. Fed up with the entire political process, I had not voted in 26 years, my own form of protest to a rigged game orchestrated by a handful of insiders. But this election, I was convinced, would be different. Inspired by the Tea Party movement, the rallies in Washington, and widespread anger at town hall meetings across the country, I registered to vote and actually believed that this election would be the turning point. I thought this would be the moment where the American people would finally have the balls to pull a third-party lever and sweep out the entrenched life-long politicians who have run this county into the ground.

 

Alas, as is so often the case, I came away disappointed. Nothing has changed; the American people are as stupid as ever. We are, after all, talking about a country that made Friends and Cheers the most watched television shows for years on end, a country that actually pays money to go see Justin Bieber, a country that worships rapists like Kobe Bryant, and wife-beaters like Charlie Sheen and O.J., a country that goes along when “well-meaning” politicians ban cigarettes and trans fats.

 

Knowing all that, I suppose I should have suppressed my pie-in-the-sky dreams, and sat this one out as well, because in the end, my vote didn’t matter. I refused to tally a vote for a single Democrat or Republican, instead confining my research to, and voting for, the best candidate among the Independents, Libertarians, and other various contenders.

 

But I was a cry in the wilderness. In my state of California, with two races too close to call, EVERY SINGLE incumbent in the House was re-elected. 49-0…simply staggering.   This tally includes Maxine Waters, a life-long leech of the system who is now under investigation for ethics violations; Nancy Pelosi…enough said; Barbara Boxer, a career politician who has been at the helm for much of the state’s slide into bankruptcy. But it gets better…the tree-huggers of this wonderful state also put Jerry Brown back into the governor’s mansion…the same Jerry Brown who started draining state coffers as governor years ago by doling out untenable pensions to anyone who could fog a mirror. His track record of abysmal failure is astonishing, but he’s good enough for California. So much for the peasant uprising.

 

It was this way all across the country. In New York, of the 27 House races decided, 23 were won by incumbents. Charles Rangel, perhaps the most corrupt man in Congress, won with 80% of the vote. Both the state’s incumbent Senators won handily.

 

Other luminaries being sent back for more pork are the illustrious Harry Reid, the vile John McCain, and our favorite–the bloated, lisping pig from Massachusetts by the name of Barney Frank, who has run male prostitute rings out of his home, but who, more importantly, almost single-handedly caused the housing crash with his nefarious machinations at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

 

Two years ago, a fed-up American populace gave Republicans the heave-ho, but somehow they’ve become the saviors again, and in two more years, the cycle will repeat itself when the people realize the Republicans are still…well, Republicans. Nice work, America, now move along, Jersey Shore is about to come on.

Destroyed From Within

August 14, 2010

 

Ahh, the hypocrisy of the left knows no bounds. The culturally aware and broad-minded among us are beside themselves now that our Muslim president has weighed in on the New York City “community center” issue and given the project his endorsement. This is a victory for religious freedom and tolerance they cry, tickled pink that followers of the most peaceful religion on earth can now spit in the eye of the thousands of Americans who lost their lives on 9/11. The people supporting the mosque and religious freedom are the same people that foam at the mouth at the thought of allowing the phrase “under God” to be used during the pledge of allegiance, but I digress.

Just to be clear, I do believe Muslims have the right to build the edifice because unlike the dissemblers supporting the mosque in the name of the 1st amendment—you know, the very same people who would have us do away with the 2nd amendment yesterday—I do believe in the letter of the law. But it’s hard to reconcile the decision to build with the notion that Muslims are simply trying to foster unity and understanding among all religions.

Muslims are notorious for their intolerance of others:

“When you meet the unbelievers, strike off their heads; then when you have made wide slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives,” (Surah XLVII.4) it says in the Koran.

Indeed, in Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia, Christians are not allowed to openly practice their faith and are not allowed to even enter the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. The penalty for Muslims that convert to other religions is death. Toss in the virulent hatred Muslims have for women and gays, and the rosy picture is complete.

Certainly in the United States we have to hold ourselves to a higher standard in allowing opposing viewpoints, however distasteful they may be, but it’s curious that the people who decry intolerance are forever supporting the avatars of intolerance, and in our efforts to appease all, we are letting our own standards erode and slip away. The biggest floods begin with a trickle, and at what point do we stop allowing other countries’ cultures, ideas, and religions to overwhelm and supplant our own? A judge in New Jersey recently ruled that a Muslim man accused of repeatedly raping his wife was committing no crime because under the Shariah law of Islam, this behavior was permitted. The ruling was later overturned, but the thought that an American judge could make such a ruling in the first place is shocking.

There was a recent episode in Dearborn, Michigan—where a huge concentration of Muslims reside—in which four Christians were arrested for distributing Christian literature outside a Muslim festival. The men arrested were on public property at the time, but they were trucked off to jail anyway. Such is the way of the insidious and slippery slope, but in the name of political correctness, we continue to back down. Ask Europe how backing down to the Muslims is working out for them…ask Salman Rushdie if he thinks Muslims are tolerant—or for that matter, ask a Danish cartoonist.

During the 2008 presidential campaign, the American public’s detestation of George Bush gave a free pass to Obama, who has moved in the shadows his whole life, consorting with the “Hate America” crowd and refusing to disclose college transcripts, medical records, and birth certificates. It’s a popular notion that America will be destroyed from within…it’s happening as we speak…and our president is the most glaring manifestation.

A Black Eye for the Dems

August 8, 2010

 

Will wonders never cease? It appears Democrats have found a moral compass at long last, making a statement condemning Senate nominee Alvin Greene, the surprise winner of the South Carolina Democratic primary, who was indicted Friday on obscenity charges. The state’s Democratic Party Chair Carol Fowler issued a statement urging Greene to reconsider his candidacy.

“In June, I asked Mr. Greene to withdraw his candidacy because of the charges against him. Following today’s indictments, I repeat that request,” Fowler said.

“It will be impossible for Mr. Greene to address his legal issues and run a statewide campaign. The indictment renews concerns that Mr. Greene cannot represent the values of the Democratic Party or South Carolina voters.”

It’s a real shame that the Democrats can’t find the same antipathy toward career criminals Charles Rangel and Maxine Waters who are allowed to continue in Congress despite the gaggle of legal issues mounting against them. “Innocent until proven guilty” and “Let the system work” are the mantras. Apparently the standards are different if you’re a barely literate life-long failure, but more importantly, one with little chance to win in November.

I, frankly, can’t see what the problem is. I seem to recall a politician who faced similar allegations some years ago, and not only did the Democratic party stand by him, but he was, and still is, the face of the party and a hero to the left. His name was Bill Clinton. God, I hope Greene wins!!

Voters!! We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Voters!!

 

 

August 7, 2010

 

It’s rather alarming how the will of the American people is continually being subverted by arrogant judges and bloated politicians who think their conscience (or rather the interests of those who have bought them) should trump the democratic process. U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker ruled this week that Proposition 8, California’s ban on same-sex marriage, is unconstitutional, and so same-sex marriages should be allowed. This is all fine and dandy—I don’t care who marries whom—but there’s one burr under the saddle in this whole drama…the people of California VOTED IN FAVOR of the proposition.

Now you can point out the hypocrisy of the “enlightened” and “tolerant” California voter who decides that he’s liberal until there’s something he doesn’t want to tolerate, but at the end of the day, shouldn’t the peoples’ vote count for something? There’s a very troubling mentality in this country that extends from local government all the way to the White House…that voters simply don’t matter and that a core of pompous elites should decide what’s right for the rest of us. Note the terrifying rationale of California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger when remarking on Judge Walker’s ruling: “The Administration believes the public interest is best served by permitting the Court’s judgment to go into effect, thereby restoring the right of same-sex couples to marry in California.” In other words, the public interest is best served by ignoring the public interest—their votes.

Jerry Brown, former governor, and current Democratic nominee in the 2010 governor’s race had this to say, “As this Court has concluded that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional, the public interest weighs against its continued enforcement.” Again with the public interest. George Orwell must feel as if his tomb is a swing head centrifuge.

Where is this all going to end? Well certainly not at the federal level with the chosen one running roughshod over the voters’ wishes. Over two-thirds of Americans didn’t want Obama’s health care plan to pass, so the leader of the most transparent administration in history cut a bunch of backroom deals to ensure its passage. Voters in Arizona, who are being overrun by illegal infestation, decided to take matters in their own hands and approved SB 1070, and now they have to endure a costly lawsuit filed by Barack and his henchmen who somehow feel it’s proper to sue to overturn a legal vote, but can’t seem to find the time to prosecute thugs with billy clubs who intimidated voters during the presidential election.

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” Indeed. Rest well, George.

Only McCain Can Make Me Thank the Lord for Obama

August 3, 2010

 

 

I was watching John McCain blather last night during an interview with Greta Van Susteren and had to marvel at a particular distinction that the automaton holds that no other does…he is the ONLY person I would less rather see in the White House than the current disaster now occupying that residence. He drones and drones without providing any illumination beyond the bromides he’s heard from others and which he parrots in stultifying fashion. A bigger problem still is that he lies through his teeth, hardly maverick behavior in a Senatorial body shot through with liars.

 

McCain would have people believe that he has favored sealing Arizona’s borders all along, when in fact, during his presidential campaign, he pandered to Latino voters with promises of “comprehensive immigration reform”—code for allowing illegals to gain citizenship. He was opposed to building fences or fortifying the borders then, but now as public sentiment grows for SB 1070, he is castigating Obama for not doing enough to protect the borders.

 

McCain misses no opportunity to bash the chosen one on his economic policies as well, forever talking about how the president is “mortgaging our children’s futures” with the seemingly endless series of stimulus bills that have failed miserably. McCain is now trying to wash his hands of his massive role in the original TARP bill which propped up failing Wall Street crooks, and for which McCain famously interrupted his presidential campaign to support. At the time he proclaimed that he was returning to Washington to do the peoples’ work. What a tool!!

 

But his nattering about “mortgaging our children’s futures” does raise an interesting thought. Why should we care about our children’s futures? We’re talking about a generation of kids whose interest in the world doesn’t extend beyond Lindsay Lohan and Lady Gaga, and frankly they’re getting what they deserve. It was largely this generation of knuckleheads that put Obama and his attendant socialist policies in office because they thought it would be hip to have a black president. Now they’re the same ones marching on California college campuses, protesting tuition hikes because the well has run dry after years and years of policies not unlike Obama’s. As Reverend Wright would say, “The chickens have come home to roost.”

Mosque of the Red Death

August 2, 2010

 

 

It would appear that the erection of a mosque—excuse me, a “community center”—near Ground Zero is all but a done deal, and don’t we all feel warm and fuzzy about how tolerant we are?? I understand the slippery slope in denying someone’s rights based on their religion, but I have to wonder when the United States is going to start playing to win. When a fundamental precept of your religion is to subjugate women and kill infidels—that is anyone who doesn’t agree with you—I’m not so sure you deserve protection under the law. And yes, I think all religions are for hypocrites and the feeble-minded, but why is it the United States that has to bend over backwards and capitulate EVERY time? It’s always we that have to demonstrate tolerance and sensitivity, while Muslims and their apologists aren’t expected to show any sensitivity to the families of the dead.

 

In the days after 9/11, there was a bunch of puffery about building a skyscraper 1776 feet in height to demonstrate that we wouldn’t let the terrorists win. Nine years later a mosque is to be built at the site where Muslim extremists killed thousands of Americans. This country is on the verge of politically correcting itself right out of existence; common sense has all but vanished. In another generation, we’ll all be speaking Arabic and Spanish, because let’s face it…immigrants no longer come to America to embrace us, but to exploit us.

The Good Ship Obama

 

 

March 21, 2009

 

As if his scattershot and wholly ineffective handling of the economy wasn’t bad enough, the Messiah is being dealt some cold reality in international relations as well these days.

In a video directed to Iranian leaders, distributed to Iranian news outlets, and posted on the White House website, President Chamberlain….err…President Obama declared, “My administration is now committed to diplomacy that addresses the full range of issues before us.” On the Good Ship Obama, everything can be settled with chummy talk and a game of hoops.

 

But Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei responded with a hearty middle-finger salute during a speech in Mashhad while the crowd chanted, “Death to America.” It turns out Obama’s Muslim brethren aren’t so reasonable and misunderstood after all.

 

“He (Obama) insulted the Islamic Republic of Iran from the first day. If you are right that change has come, where is that change? What is the sign of that change? Make it clear for us what has changed,” Khameini said as he called for the United States to give up “unconditional support” for Israel and quit making claims that Iran is developing nuclear arms.

 

This presidential brush-off comes on the heels of Obama’s announcement that the U.S. hasn’t done a good job deciding who should be released from Guantanamo, the base our celebrity president vowed to close within one year with the explanation that it has been an “advertisement for anti-American sentiment.” Obama admitted that some of the prisoners released from the holding center have rejoined terrorist groups. With Russian President Vladimir Putin rattling his sabers as well, Obama is going to have a lot on his plate, and now we’ll see if he can handle things any better than his predecessor whom everyone so reviled.

 

George Bush was a detestable, crooked, and absolutely horrible president, but I always had to laugh at the presumption that his being president is why the world hated us. The world hates us because they can’t be us, and Obama and his pie-in-the-sky followers have still to learn that no amount of sweet talk is going to change that.

 

“Speak softly and carry a big stick,” Theodore Roosevelt once said. Let’s hope that message gets through to the Messiah and his Kumbaya-singing acolytes.

Senator from Connecticut is Microcosm of Congress–DODDering Old Fools

March 18, 2009

 

 

The ink was barely dry on my posting from this morning when the silver-haired old whore from Connecticut I had taken to task retreated from his sanctimonious position about AIG bonuses, and did a 180 degree turnabout. After spending all day Tuesday blustering feigned outrage at AIG, Christopher Dodd reversed course today and admitted that he not only was complicit in the bonus shenanigans, but was actually responsible for the language attached to the federal stimulus bill which allowed the incompetents at AIG to gorge at the public trough.

 

I honestly don’t understand where these vipers get the stones to show their faces. They have absolutely NO SHAME!!! Most people when caught in a lie at least have a smattering of contrition and the good sense to lay low for a while. But Dodd has been lying, cheating, and stealing for so long, he simply doesn’t possess any mechanism within him for turning off the switch.

 

My question is…when are we going to tell the pious members of our beloved Congress that they shouldn’t be accepting their salaries for their mind-blowing ineptitude? It’s one thing to be useless, we expect that from those self-serving clowns. But at the very least our Congressmen should heed the basic tenet of medicine that says, “First, do no harm.”

Sadly, that ship has already sailed, and only the rich and privileged have life jackets.

Obama is Too Big To Fail

 

 

March 19, 2009

 

Is the honeymoon over yet? Can we all finally admit that a mere two months into his term, Barack’s administration is every bit as conniving, irresponsible, deceitful, shameless, arrogant, greedy, devious, carnivorous, treacherous, and calculating as George Bush’s ever was?

 

The entire country is crumbling from within, and Obama’s team members are busy covering their tails about the ever-growing AIG scandal as they’ve all been exposed as liars, even as they continue to dole out our money to select pork projects and friends on Wall Street. If the phrase hadn’t been outlawed, we could have them labeled as “enemy combatants”?

 

So much for change.

 

We are on the verge of real revolution here, folks. People are furious, and sweeping reforms need to be made, and where is the Messiah through all this chaos? He’s filling out his NCAA hoops bracket on ESPN and cracking wise with Jay Leno on the Tonight Show. This man is a serious egomaniac and all you Obama voters were had. His ascendancy to the presidency was built on an everyman’s appeal that soon morphed into hero worship, and was sped along by a fawning media that refused to ask the tough questions and failed to understand that a lawyer raised in Chicago politics could in no possible way be honest.

 

But what is alarming is how much this guy loves himself. Watching him on Leno was terrifying. I firmly believe his only desire for the presidency was rooted in self-gratification and his need for attention and adulation. He has no interest in the people beyond how much they’ll genuflect at his feet. Not that this is unusual for politicians, but it’s telling that whenever someone asks him what it’s like to be president, he immediately mentions the perks. On Leno, he talked about how cool it was to wear his jacket with the presidential logo on Air Force One. Virtually every time I see him speak, he mentions the Secret Service, so we all know how important he is. We are, after all, talking about a man so impressed with himself that he wrote two autobiographies by the age of forty-five when no one had heard of him save the handful of politically aware Americans that watched his keynote address at the 2004 Democratic convention.

 

This guy would be an empty suit if it weren’t for his puffed chest, but everyone is still enthralled. The media is his biggest enabler. Last night on the Hannity show, Phil Donahue gushed that, “His smile could save us all.” Even Obama’s wife is getting in on the act. Two weeks ago CNN’s Jack Cafferty wrote on the CNN website, “I think I am developing a crush on America’s First Lady. Michelle Obama is more compelling than her husband. He’s good, but she’s utterly fascinating.” And, of course, we all remember Chris Matthews’ man-crush on the Messiah when upon hearing an Obama speech he spurted, “I felt this thrill going up my leg.”

 

Well it’s time for the pretty boy to roll up his sleeves and get to work instead of gallivanting across the countryside having his ass kissed. Taxpayer money is flying out of the vault while Congress berates Wall Street executives for legislation that Congress passed, and Barack is turning a blind eye to all the corruption among his crew. Remember when bills were going to be put online for five days before being voted on, so the American people could have a look at them? That promise, like all the others, went the way of the horse and buggy once the Messiah secured his fiefdom.

 

This man is dangerous, but the American media won’t take him to task. They have too much invested. And Obama is too big to fail.
