While the Rest of the Country Suffers… Obama Gives Joe Biden and Congress a Raise

"Happy Freaking New Year. He won’t even try to hide his contempt for us over the next four years". MC

President Obama just issued an executive order to thaw out the rather over-hyped “pay freeze” on various federal employees, “in effect giving some federal workers a raise,” as the Weekly Standard reports. This probably wasn’t the best moment for the freeze to end, from an “optics” standpoint.  Then again, why not?  What are you going to do about it?

Under Obama the median US household income has dropped $4,520 a year but that didn’t stop him from giving Joe Biden and Congress a raise.

WTF is Jesse Jackson Talking About??

"For the life of me I can’t understand a fu**ing thing he is saying. This race baitor uses the same lines for every question. 
“Reverend Jackson, why would gun laws work elsewhere if they don’t work in Chicago?”
“Well, you know, civil rights, voting rights, racial justice, equal opportunity, access to capital, atmosphere of hostility, 800 inmates, education, immigrant rights, Martin Luther King.”
“Reverend, how’s the weather in Chicago right now?”
“Well, uh, civil rights, voting rights, racial justice, equal opportunity…”
He dances around the question better than Sammy Davis Jr. Went to a prison and asked, "How mana of ya are victim of the gunshah". Brilliant. He went to a prison and discovered nearly all the inmates had shot someone. Who knew? Is there a version of this video with English subtitles? Seriously, does he have a speech impediment? I made it to 45 seconds before my brain started to hurt! Reminds me of a movie from awhile back:

Alas, we need sub titles for Jesse". MC

Michelle’s Yellow Toes

"Okay, that dress is distracting me. Who in Gods name lets her out in public dressed like that? Why do they have to make it a point to dress like it’s laundry day. Or is she trying to tell us something about Barry with a dress that is half black and half white. It looks like she took a table

The Obama Green Energy Scam You May Have Missed

"CORRUPTION ABOUNDS in Barry's Administration. Are you surprised? If anyone out here in the real world tried this sort of business they'd be in prison. It's called money laundering. Or bribery. Take your pick. This is just one of the many slush funds being administered by the criminal enterprise in the White House. These are deals in which tax payer money is traded for campaign donations. It is illegal and an impeachable offense. It is exactly why Obama's dear friend, Blogo, is in jail. It is also much like what Demonrats do with public/private unions, "We'll give you massive amounts of campaign cash and strong arm our members to vote for you and we get laws and labor decisions that fatten our wallets." All this at the expense of the American Tax-payer. Oh and don't forget GE. Moving jobs to China and paying no taxes, and getting a $6 billion rebate check. It must be nice to have friends in high places. If there was anyone but a communist in the White House the press would have exposed this years ago, with people going to prison. This administration is working against us and we keep putting up with it. Nice job voting, America! When are you going to wake up"? MC

Have you seen the latest development in President Obama's waste-ridden, clean energy program that's now under federal investigation at the U.S. Treasury Department?

Three of the country's biggest residential solar panel installers -- SolarCity, SunRun and Sungevity -- have been subpoenaed by Treasury's Office of Inspector General for their financial records to determine if they had inflated the market value of their costs when they applied for federal reimbursement.

The firms have reportedly received more than $500 million in federal grants and tax credits. Officials in two of them, Solar-City and SunRun, have been among some of Obama's most generous campaign donors.
The money these companies tapped into flowed from a $13 billion investment fund in Treasury that came from the president's economic stimulus program which has poured huge sums of money into clean energy programs across the country.

Obama has sunk billions of tax dollars into a scandal-ridden swamp of other energy deals that were crafted and promoted by administration business cronies who also were among his biggest fundraisers.
After an exhaustive analysis of thousands of memos, company records and internal e-mails about Obama's green-technology spending program, the Washington Post concluded that it was "infused with politics" at every level of the decision-making process. Political considerations dominated the White House's deal-making and all too often overruled warnings that billions of tax dollars would be lost on shaky energy projects that should never have been approved.

Take, for example, Sanjay Wagle, a venture capitalist and one of Obama's fundraisers in 2008. He left his firm in California to work in Obama's Energy Department on a $40 billion spending program to stimulate the economy by investing in clean technology companies.

It's questionable just how much "stimulus" much of this money provided to the economy when unemployment

Thanks Barack… US Holiday Sales Worst Since 2008
