Chapter X Obama brings Chicago politics to Washington

Chicago has been called the home of "gangster government." How bad is it?
Consider the following facts about the city from which President Obama rose through the ranks of American public life, from community organizer and local lawyer to the Illinois state legislature to the U.S. Senate and finally the Oval Office:

Eight of the 10 states getting the most contracts were heavily Democratic, with highly unionized state and local government workforces, according to stimulus award data at recovery.gov.

Mother of Murdered Navy SEAL Would Like Some Answers


   Tyrone Snowden Woods

The mother of Tyrone Woods, one of the Navy SEALs murdered in Benghazi, would like some answers.

Hey Obama, Sgt. Friday called. He’s on to your Clapper Caper.

Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, has apparently been assigned to take the fall for Benghazigate; you know - the trumped-up scandal about your government lying to you about terrorism, al Queda and hateful movie trailers?
I’m not positive butt I think this debriefing may lead to Clapper’s downfall :

41 Million Tea Party Supporters Set to Vote

The Tea Party is regularly ridiculed and declared "dead" by the mainstream press and their elitist allies in Washington and Hollywood. Not surprisingly, when Tea Partiers show up and rally by the thousands, they get all but ignored, while 30 Occupy Wall Street crazies in masks will always get wall-to-wall coverage and admiration. TV shows and movies take cheap shots at Tea Party conservatives,

POLLING PROPAGANDISTS: The Walter Shapiro, Taegan Goddard and Doug Mataconis Edition

 The polls completely missed the 2010 landslide. And the polls have no freaking clue just how pissed off the American people are.

Some hack named Walter Shapiro, using the time-tested approach of quoting "anonymous" GOP operatives, suggests that the Romney-Ryan campaign is losing Ohio and doing so in spectacular fashion. Check out this bit of nonsense, the rock-hard kernel of stupidity at the heart of the story.

1 million Ohioans using free phone program Fees on phone bills pay for $1.5 billion national Lifeline program

A program that provides subsidized phone service to low-income individuals has nearly doubled in size in Ohio in the past year — now covering more than a million people. At the same time, federal officials say they’re reining in waste, fraud and abuse in the program.
The Federal Communications Commission announced recently that reforms have saved $43 million since January and are expected to save $200 million by year’s end. In Ohio, savings are expected to be $2.9 million a year.
The savings were realized in part because the government gave out fewer cellphones to ineligible people and took steps to avoid issuing duplicate phones.
But the size of the program in the state — and profits to the increasing number of cellphone companies involved — has exploded in recent months,

Obama Phone Website Undergoes Radical Redesign

Surely this is all just a coincidence. After the video of the Obama crackhead went viral yesterday, we discovered the Obama Phone website, which showed the Empty Chair in all his glory:



Now if you pay a visit the site looks drastically different. Pretty much like one of those websites you stumble upon if you entered the wrong URL. No longer are you treated to the Dear Leader, instead a stock image rotating whenever you visit. This is the most recent image we grabbed. In fact, much of the site now look entirely generic, the ubiquitous Obama presence barely visible.



Hmm. You don’t think they’re embarrassed by their own supporters, are they?

Homer Bailey Delivers a No-Hitter for the Republican Cause

 Do you think a congratulatory call from the Whjte House is forth-coming? NOT!

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Homer Bailey tossed a no-hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates last night. It was a much-needed victory for the Reds as they're battling the Washington Nationals for the best record in the National League heading into the post-season.

Lee forwards a note pointing out that Bailey's not only an ace on the mound, he's also a top gun when it comes to protecting the Republic:


You just never know who may show up at the Republican Victory Center in Kenwood [a northern suburb of Cincinnati].

Reds Pitcher Homer Bailey showed up last Saturday to encourage the volunteers to keep up the great efforts for the Republican Party. We still need volunteers and we are going to WIN this election!


Don’t pay attention to the polls which are aligned to the media. They want you to believe that the race is over. We need our voters to come out and vote. So let’s do everything possible to do just that and we WILL WIN!

Chapter IX: The Arab-American network behind Obama

President Obama's controversial relationships with radical figures like Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi have been well-publicized in recent years.
Prior to his academic career in the United States, Khalidi worked for Yasser Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization when it was classified by the State Department as a terrorist group.

President Obama, maybe in light of his horrendous interview appearances on Univision and “60 Minutes,” is now planning three days of debate prep. However, I sort of doubt there are aides who will ask the president the sort of questions that might come up in the debate.

Fast and Furious back in headlines as Univision reportedly finds more victims

Spanish-language television network Univision plans to air a television special that it said reveals more violence than previously known, as well as the stories of how many more Operation Fast and Furious victims were killed, the network announced in a Friday release.

“The consequences of the controversial ‘Fast and Furious’ undercover operation put in place by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in 2009 have been deadlier than what has been made public to date,” the network said. “The exclusive, in-depth investigation by Univision News’ award-winning Investigative Unit — Univision Investiga — has found that the guns that crossed the border as part of Operation Fast and Furious caused dozens of deaths inside Mexico.”

Chapter VIII: Obama's state pension scheme

State Sen. Barack Obama and members of an Illinois lobbying group representing politically connected minority-owned businesses launched a campaign in 2000 to pressure state pension funds to help their friends and donors.
Obama and his cohorts targeted state officials in charge of pension funds for teachers, police and firemen, and regular government employees.

Obama's Libya Lies Collapse: Senate Democrats Demand Answers

The wheels appear to be coming off a two week attempt by the Obama Administration to cover up its fatal security failures at our consulate in Libya and to cover up the very fact that this was a successful pre-planned terrorist attack that cost four American lives, including that of our Libyan Ambassador, Christopher Stevens.

Obama’s Libya Myth Continues To Decay: A review the sequence of events helpfully compiled by the Washington Post in a rare occurrence of random journalism against the interests of the Obama administration.

In what may very well be a first in American history, it is now clear that the Obama Administration deliberately sent out a senior official, UN Ambassador Susan Rice, to lie to the American people about what transpired in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012.
We addressed this briefly a week ago but in the meantime more information has come to light which shows that Rice was not merely misinformed, she was lying to set a narrative that would protect the administration from the effects of its own epic, if not criminal, incompetence.
Let’s review the sequence of events helpfully compiled by the Washington Post in a rare occurrence of random journalism against the interests of the Obama administration. Take your time, the post picks up at the end of the chronology.

Samuel L. Jackson elevates political discourse in America, motherf***er

Earlier this year, Jackson told Ebony magazine: “I voted for Barack because he was black. ‘Cuz that’s why other folks vote for other people — because they look like them… That’s American politics, pure and simple. [Obama's] message didn’t mean [bleep] to me. In the end, he’s a politician. I just hoped he would do some of what he said he was gonna do. I know politicians say [bleep]; they lie. ‘Cuz they want to get elected.”


‘Twas six weeks till election, and all through the Web
Obama’s sad voters could feel their strength ebb.

Economic Patriotism = Give Us More Money

In Obama’s new ad which you can watch below, he talks about economic patriotism.
In the lead to her post on the subject, Erika Johnsen asks what does that even mean?
I can answer that question. It means Obama thinks that giving more of your money to the government is patriotic.
But don’t take my word for it. Let’s look at what Joe Biden said in 2008…

Mitt Romney to 'fact check' Obama in debate

Mitt Romney plans to turn himself into a one-man truth squad during the first presidential debate next week, casting President Barack Obama as someone who can’t be trusted to stick to the facts or keep his promises.
Top Republicans are telegraphing Romney’s hard-line strategy for his faceoff with Obama,
according to Mike Allen’s Playbook in POLITICO on Thursday. The debate plan comes during a presidential cycle where media fact-checkers have held a high profile and where an earlier effort by Democrats to cast GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan as untrustworthy got results.

 Romney himself was the first to signal the strategy. “I think he’s going to say a lot of things that aren’t accurate,”

Chapter VII: The myth of Obama as state Senate reformer

Shortly after Barack Obama won the 2008 presidential election, Prairie State Blue, a liberal blog, attributed his victory to the fact that Illinois' deeply entrenched government corruption had forced "political reformers" in the state legislature like Obama "to network outside the traditional political circles."

The claim illustrated Obama's success throughout his career at presenting himself as an outsider and reformer even as he became a skillful operator inside one of the nation's most corrupt political systems.

Former Obama Adviser Steven Rattner Called for Death Panels in NYT Op-Ed


Glenn Beck spotted an op-ed written by former adviser Steven Rattner that appeared in The New York Times a few days ago. It’s amazing that this hasn’t gotten more attention. (Thanks to Jan R. for the tip.)
An op/ed that ran in the New York Times earlier this month has made a startling declaration: “We need death panels.” The claim comes from a former Obama advisor, Steven Rattner, who claims that too many Medicare resources are wasted on the elderly in their last year of life. While the Obama campaign is trying to paint the Romney campaign as enemies of the elderly for wanting to reform Medicare and Medicaid, should they be paying closer attention to the people Obama ahas surrounded himself with?
Rattner writes:



The New Racial Justice System

President Obama issues an executive order calling for equal outcomes in school discipline policies.
What is the basis for such an exercise of presidential power? Where in the Constitution does it say that the executive branch of the federal government can impose itself on educational issues?
In fact, where in the Constitution does it say that the federal government can impose itself on any part of the educational function, which I thought was a state function? Is it because the federal government gives federal taxpayer funds to schools? How does that justify federal interference in school discipline?
This alone is so outrageous and illegal.

Why Putin Wants Obama to Win

The 2012 U.S. presidential election presents a contrast to the 2008 election in terms of their perceptions by the Russian elite.
In 2008, then-President Dmitry Medvedev expressed a desire to work with a "modern" U.S. leader rather than one "whose eyes are turned back to the past." He was referring to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. But influential Russian elites voiced their support for the Republican candidate, John McCain, despite McCain calling President Vladimir Putin a KGB spy who has no soul and calling to expel Russia from the Group of Eight leading industrial nations.
Even though McCain was more critical of the Kremlin,

Hilarious: Obama Lowers Debate Expectations ‘Because of the Demands of His Office’

I could see this as being plausible if the guy ever actually worked. Seriously, the guy has been in campaign mode for three years, has time to chat with the washed-up Letterman, the idiots from The View, talk football, basketball, play golf, and hang out with Jay-Z and Beyonce, among assorted other celebutards. So, um, when does he actually work?
Now we’re to believe he’s too busy to prepare for debates?
Child, please.

Republicans: DHS ‘attempting to conceal information from the American people’ about immigrant welfare policies

Four powerful Republican senators are demanding answers to questions they posited to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano in early August regarding the apparent watering down of immigration regulations which prohibit those seeking residency or citizenship from being primarily reliant on welfare, or a public charge.
The Department of Homeland Security missed the Aug. 20 deadline and has yet to respond.

Taxpayers spent $1.4 billion on Obama family last year, perks questioned in new book

Taxpayers spent $1.4 billion dollars on everything from staffing, housing, flying and entertaining President Obama and his family last year, according to the author of a new book on taxpayer-funded presidential perks.
In comparison, British taxpayers spent just $57.8 million on the royal family.
Author Robert Keith Gray writes in “Presidential Perks Gone Royal” that Obama isn’t the only president to have taken advantage of the expensive trappings of his office. But the amount of money spent on the first family, he argues, has risen tremendously under the Obama administration and needs to be reined in.
Gray told The Daily Caller that the $1.4 billion spent on

Benghazi terrorists slew, Obama knew

Way to go, White House. Good job, State Department. Eli Lake at the Daily Beast reports:
Within 24 hours of the 9-11 anniversary attack on the United States consulate in Benghazi, U.S. intelligence agencies had strong indications al Qaeda–affiliated operatives were behind the attack,

State Dept. switches from lying about Benghazi to lying about having lied about it

You know things are getting bad for the Obama administration when they have to give in and acknowledge consensus reality. NYT:
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton indicated for the first time on Wednesday that there was an explicit link between the Qaeda franchise in North Africa and the attack at the American diplomatic mission in Libya that killed four Americans, including the ambassador, J. Christopher Stevens…
“Now, with a larger safe haven and increased freedom to maneuver, terrorists are seeking to extend their reach and their networks in multiple directions,” Mrs. Clinton told world leaders assembled at the United Nations meeting. “And they are working with other violent extremists to undermine the democratic transitions under way in North Africa, as we tragically saw in Benghazi…”
Mrs. Clinton’s remarks appeared to go beyond comments made last week by Matthew Olsen, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, who said intelligence analysts were investigating ties between local Libyan militias and Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, but had not yet come to any conclusions…
Mr. Olsen said the assault on the American mission and a nearby annex in Benghazi was a “terrorist attack,” the first time the administration had ascribed the attack to terrorists. The next day, Jay Carney, the White House press secretary, said on Air Force One, “It is self-evident that what happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack.” He added, “Our embassy was attacked violently, and the result was four deaths of American officials.”
“Self-evident.”
Wait. So it wasn’t because of a YouTube video mocking Islam? It wasn’t because of the “slander” of Mohammed, as the Greatest President Ever put it just yesterday?
The wonderful thing about doublethink is that it can be both. Politico reports:
Though he has so far declined to use the word, the White House confirmed that President Obama does believe the attack against four Americans in Libya was an act of terrorism.
“It is the president’s view that it was a terrorist attack,” White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters en route to Ohio on Wednesday.
Oh, okay. I’m sure that’s a great consolation to the guy they’ve scapegoated, who’s now in hiding for fear of his life. Hey, he should’ve thought about that before he exercised his right to free speech in America, right?
You might be wondering why Obama and Clinton and Carney and the rest of them insisted it wasn’t a terrorist attack, even though they knew it was within 24 hours. Even though it was obvious from the start. Why did they continue to lie about it for two straight weeks?
The answer is simple:
Shut up.

 

IT WAS AL QAEDA: Clinton Suggests Link to Qaeda Offshoot in Deadly Libya Attack

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Wednesday suggested there was a link between the Qaeda franchise in North Africa and the attack at the American diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, that killed the American ambassador and three others. She was the highest-ranking Obama administration official to publicly make the connection, and her comments intensified what is becoming a fiercely partisan fight over whether the attack could have been prevented.


55 percent of small business owners would not start company today, blame Obama

Fifty-five percent of small business owners and manufacturers would not have started their businesses in today’s economy, according to a new poll that also reports 69 percent say President Obama’s regulatory policies have hurt their businesses.

Don’t Believe the MSM’s Pro-Obama Polls

Don’t you think it’s strange that a new poll from the New York Times and CBS News shows Obama widening his swing state lead in the wake of a full blown foreign policy disaster and 40+ straight months of historically high unemployment? It defies common sense and there’s a reason for that. They’re lying to you.
As John Nolte of Breitbart.com points out, today’s poll leaves out a critical piece of information – they’re relying on unrealistically high Dem turnout, even higher than 2008.
Jim Geraghty of National Review reports the same thing.
 Who do these MSM pollsters think they’re kidding? You.

Chapter VI: The poor people Obama left behind

Four years after Barack Obama's historic election as president, little seems to have changed for the African-American communities on Chicago's South Side.
The lack of change -- or the sense that these neighborhoods are getting worse -- is eroding the president's standing among African-Americans in his hometown.

White House: Bad Call in Football Game a ‘Pressing Matter’ and ‘Very Distressing’


obama12
They’re more upset by this than Chris Stevens being raped, murdered and dragged through the streets of Benghazi.
Carney … was eager to weigh in on an issue he called a “pressing matter,” “astounding” and “very distressing” — the end of the Packers-Seahawks game.
Carney said he had talked to the president this morning about it. Carney noted that the president had discussed the issue last week in an interview with a Cleveland radio station and “as a sports fan he thought it was time to get back to the regular refs. This morning I talked to him about the end of the Packers-Seahawks game and he said that what happened in that game is a perfect example of why both sides need to come together, resolve their differences so that the regular refs can get back on the field and we can start focusing on a game that so many of us love rather than debating whether of not a game is won or lost because of a bad call.
Know what else is very distressing and should be a pressing matter? The economy. Iranian nukes. The mideast in flames. We find it  “astounding”  Obama has time for football and The View and not world leaders.

Pope sends his regrets over the replacement referee call in Seattle

 If the Leader of the Free World feels this is important, why not the Pope?
VATICAN CITY:  Fans of American football the world over have voiced their views over the game- PopeBenedictclinching call at the end of the Green Bay – Seattle game held last night in the Seahawks’ CenturyLink Field.  After the debacle on the Hail Mary play on Monday Night Football, Pope Benedict XVI was reported to be visibly upset.  Jesuit Fr. Federico Lombardi (no relation to the legendary Packer coach) of the Vatican press office, noted that he hadn’t seen His Holiness this livid since he’d learned of the attempted ordination of several women on a riverboat in Austria in 2002.
The Pontiff wasted no time in tweeting his disgust with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell:  @BennyXVI “As a matter of justice, we must condemn this fiasco in the strongest possible terms.  It is an offense against all that is true, good, and beautiful.”  The Commissioner was not available for comment, but was expected to address the Holy Father’s remarks in a press conference later today.
Packer Head Coach Mike McCarthy, a Catholic, was grateful for Pope Benedict’s support, remarking that “the pain of this loss is mitigated somewhat, knowing that we have the prayers and concern of His Holiness.  He has been a Packer fan all the way back to the ‘Glory Years’, and the team has been studying some of his most recent encyclicals.  Spe Salvi, in particular, gives us hope that this nasty officiating business will be resolved very soon.”
It is not known yet whether the Church will impose any canonical sanctions on the NFL, considering the gravity of the offense, and the public nature of the scandal.  “It is well known that recent popes have graciously given a pass to the copyright infringement by the NFL using the term ‘Hail Mary’, but this is really pushing the envelope,” remarked Lombardi.  “If nothing else, however, it does demonstrate the power of Our Lady’s intercession, and the eternal truth spoken to her by the Angel Gabriel that ‘nothing is impossible with God.’”
I'm sure there is other more important business the Pope needs to be tending to.
