Well now we see where his true loyalties lie...
These last several months have seen police officers all across America murdered, many of them by black males tied to or influenced by the #Blacklifesmatter bullshit that's currently all the rage in America's ghetto neighborhoods and on liberal college campuses and left-wing editorial sites.
Barack Obama, who has said nothing good about police officers since his early days, when he slandered them after one arrested a friend of his, has been silent on this. Many of the cop-haters out there are taking his silence as tacit approval and encouragement, and they have been doing so since he declared that thuggish Trayvon Martin, shot dead after attacking a man, could have been his son.
We all know how Obama feels about the American men and women who protect and serve. That's obvious by now.
But members of our military have been murdered too, attacked in broad daylight by muslim terrorists here in the United States. and once again, Obama says nothing.
In France, meanwhile, off-duty US military personnel subdue another muslim terrorist and prevent him from carrying out what would have been a heinous massacre on a French train. Europe goes wild for our heroes and France gives them all sorts of honors. Obama does nothing to recognize them or laud them though.
Yet in Texas, one kid gets taken to task in a school for making a clock that looks like a bomb. and what happens?
Obama rallies behind muslim boy detained for bringing clock to school.
There we go. A kid with a muslim-sounding name gets in trouble and Obama pops out of his hole and sees his shadow at last.
Mind you, Obama has never defended any white kid who was taken out of school for drawing guns, wearing NRA shirts, or even eating a pop tart into the shape of a gun. That's happened a lot under the zero-tolerance policies supported by Obama's own Department of Education, and he's never made any sort of apology for or criticism of those policies. But now it's a black kid with a muslim-sounding name getting the same treatment, and here's Barry, front and center and full of outrage. Kinda says something about who he does and does not care about, doesn't it?
And is anyone else even wondering why we're now losing to every islamic terrorist group that America had on the ropes before Obama took office? Anyone?

Obama disrespects our Marines again, "salutes" with coffee cup in his hand.
What a total ass-monkey. Seriously. Because nothing says "I respect you" like not even bothering to put your coffee cup in the other hand while returning an honor offered to you.
President Obama Gesture to Marines Dubbed ‘Latte Salute’
And typically, the media is already trying to defray outrage by downplaying it (see story above) or ignoring it. (But if Bush had done such a thing...)
No wonder the Secret Service leaves the White House doors unlocked when he's in there. Who really wants to take a bullet for this self-absorbed prat?

Obama gets punked and the military strikes.
So the last couple of days, we've been exposed to some petulance from President Prickly, aka, "Barry Thin-Skin", because people are still laughing at him for dressing like a bitch.
Sarah Palin: Barack Obama known for 'mom jeans'
Obama: ‘My jeans fit very well’
One of these things is not like the others.
Nah, they're all the same.
So do you think it's a coincidence that this morning, we hear a news report about Obama using a Navy SEAL team to take a Libyan tanker away from three Libyan rebels?
Navy SEALS board, take control of rogue Libya tanker
In past days under other administrations, such a use of our Special Forces troops would have remained classified. But this week, we have Obama, down in the polls and facing ridicule for looking weak and effeminate, especially in comparison to Russia's Vladmir Putin. So what happens? Suddenly we get a news story about Obama using our covert military personnel to do something bold and heroic, an action that his die-hard Kool-Aid-drinking followers will claim "proves" that Obama is tough and macho.
Well Obama is neither tough nor macho and never has been. But maybe someday he'll realize that you cannot make yourself look impressive by simply telling other men to go out and do something heroic while you sit in the kitchen and make fudge with your wife and daughters. Kudos to our Navy SEALS for a job well done but let's remember that they didn't volunteer to sacrifice themselves just to be Obama's personal public relations tools.

I guess the US Treasury has plenty of money again
We must be flush, because B.O. is treating himself and his family to another multi-million dollar luxury vacation in Hawaii.
Sunny Christmas: First Family and Dog Bo to Leave Cold DC for $4 Million Hawaiian Vacation
Now I'm the last one to begrudge anyone some vacation time, but why does this guy keep picking these expensive places where he owns no property and where we, the working people, have to pick up the cost of security, property rentals, transportation, etc.,? I mean, this is why we have Camp David in the scenic Maryland mountains just a short drive or helicopter flight from the White House. THAT is supposed to be the get-away place for presidents who don't have anywhere else to go. The Bushes and Reagan owned their own places and had them set up to function as mini-White Houses, complete with Secret Service lodgings, so it didn't cost a fraction of an Obama trip for any of them to go home. But the First Grifters? They just use our money to rent luxury lodgings wherever they fancy to go, and they rent more lodgings nearby for all of the staff and hangers-on that accompany them. It's really a very big deal and just one of these trips cost the taxpayers more than Obama's salary for eight years will. But they seem to enjoy living large on our dime when military members and government workers are being forced to take pay cuts and when national parks are being closed (a shameless publicity stunt that actually cost more than keeping them open).
I'm sorry, but as a taxpayer, I resent the hell out of being dunned just to keep a guy and his family entertained in high style if it means less money in my pockets at the end of the month, and it's especially galling when this guy and his big-mouthed wife rarely fail to pass up an opportunity to tell me how much they hate me and everything that I believe in.
I say that if he wants to get out of the White House, he needs to do one of three things:
1. Go to Camp David and be grateful to us for funding it.
2. Pay for every single expense related to his personal travel out of his own bank account. I mean, this guy who never held a job outside of academia or government is somehow a multi-millionaire. Let him dip into his own coffers to fuel the transport aircraft and pay for his security.
3. Failing his desire for either of the above, how about a special tax just on Obama supporters? Let the dupes and gimmedats who elected him pony up to pay for his personal pleasure.
Either way, I resent the hell out of paying, and I resent his cavalier attitude when it comes to just spending the money and laughing in our faces just after telling us how broke we are. If I have to pay to fly him and his family somewhere, how about a one-way trip to his native Kenya and we call it a day?

WW II vets punk Obama and his shutdown by forcing way into "closed" memorial to them.
Barry Obama, our petulant boy president, decided to go for the dramatic this morning by ordering the Park Service to go out and fence off the national monuments in Washington DC even though they are just basically outdoor open space that people can access 24/7 without any need for Park Service staff. He did this deliberately to cause a media event that he and his media lapdogs could blame the GOP for.
Why are there barricades at the World War Two Memorial in Washington DC?
Well a group of Word War Two vets who had come to DC this morning via an Honor Flight meant to commemorate their service to this country ran up against those barricades when they went to their memorial and they did what men of that caliber would be expected to do: They kicked the barricades down and went in anyway.
‘Honor flight’ group forces entry into WWII Memorial in defiance of government shutdown
The American Spirit still lives on.
So what are you gonna do, Barry? Gonna sic Eric Holder on them now?

What a Maroon! Obama keeps confusing British Chancellor with R&B singer.
Yet we don't hear much about this in the American media at all.
President Obama calls Chancellor George Osbourne "Jeffrey" numerous times at G8 summit.
I guess it would only have been newsworthy if George Bush had done it.

The real effect of Obama's sequester on America
The other day, when I was at the airport, I happened to talk to the guys at the repair shop about the effects that Barry Obama's sequester stunt is having on them. Now mind you, they aren't government employees and have no government contracts. still, they're hurting right now because a lot of their regular customers DO work for the government and are now husbanding their money instead of spending it on aircraft repair work.
Likewise, over at the FBO, they report that charters are down, fuel purchases and down and students are suspending instruction. A lot of these people also have government jobs, and Obama's decision to let the sequester hit and deny them all at least 5% of their pay for the year is really being felt by the businesses that cater to them. And actually, they're all getting cut 10% of what they'll make for the rest of this fiscal year, since the cuts came in half way through the year, so the impact is really hard-hitting on a lot of people.
Same thing over at a nearby restaurant that I like to hit whenever I fly. They've seen their business slow, and the part-time waitresses (part-time thanks to Obamacare) are now getting less hours because there's just not enough business to keep them working.
None of these people are government workers, but thanks to Obama's ham-fisted mishandling of our economy, they're all getting hurt just like the employees whose checks he actually is cutting. And this is just a micro-version of what's happening all across America in any business that offers goods or services to people who do work for the government. So the next time that you're tempted to dismiss the sequester as just affecting a few over-paid and under-worked bureaucrats, remember that it also hits every member of the armed services and every small business owner or employee of businesses that rely on these people as customers.
And come 2014, don't ever let anyone tell you that anyone is responsible for this other than Barack Obama and the House and Senate Democrats who could have averted it by accepting a few reasonable budget cuts to their pet programs but chose not to do so. Obama's chickens need to come home to roost in 2014, and we know that we can't count on the media to make that happen so it'll be up to you and me.
Spread the word and spread it widely and frequently.

A clear picture of Obama's personal politics revealed
Baroness Margaret Thatcher was laid to rest yesterday. While there were Americans present, including Henry Kissenger, Newt Gingrich and Michele Bachmann, there was no official delegation from the Obama Administration. Barry Obama refused to send one despite Thatcher's long history of support for and cooperation with America and American foreign policy actions, both as Britain's Prime Minister from 1979 to 1990 and beyond, in her private life. No foreign leader stood as close to America as she did during that time, and she deserved but did not get an official "thank you" in the form of a delegation sent by the Obama Administration.
However, Obama did send long-time America-hating dictator Hugo Chavez an official delegation a little over a month ago. He sent ex-Representatives Gregory Meek and William Delahunt to Venezuela to express his sadness and to offer his respects.
A Communist America-hater gets an official delegation at his funeral but one of the most prominent post-war leaders of the free world and reliable America-backers does not? If anyone ever had a reason to question Obama's marxist leanings or his contempt for our country, this should settle the matter.
Impeachment's too good for B.O.. I'm thinking tar and feathers and a rail to ride out of town is more fitting.

I guess we're not worried about sequester any more, eh?
I mean, if there's enough money in the treasury for the Obamas to have exclusive "His-n-Hers" vacations, where we spend a million bucks to fly him down to Florida to golf with Tiger Woods, and probably close to that amount extra to fly Moochelle, some of her friends, and the girls out to Aspen, Colorado so that they could take over a ski resort for a few days, then obviously we shouldn't have to worry about forced furloughs of government employees and layoffs at defense contractor plants, right? Because Obama always calls on us to sacrifice to overcome tough times, so he surely wouldn't indulge himself and the First Wookie at our expense if we were in any sort of trouble, right?

Look, gun people! I'm just like you!
So sayeth Steve Urkel as he poses for this staged propoganda shot with a *Gasp!* GUN!
Looks like somebody is feeling the need to show us all that he's really a man, too. However, all I see is someone who isn't very comfortable or familiar with a firearm but who is caving in to peer pressure and pretending, just like he did on this bicycle shot a couple years ago:
Cue the clown music again.

Even "Gun show therapy" can't improve my mood this week-end.
So I've been working downtown Washington DC this week, and I've had the occasion to encounter a number of out of town visitors who have come in for the inauguration. Now I missed the last one--the coronation of Barackus Immaculus--but I was here for the second Bush inuaguration and I can see a major difference in the crowds in that eight years ago, the visitors, when queried on what brought them to DC, would simply say matter-of-factly: "I'm here for the inauguration". I met many people who came from all over the country back then, and that was pretty much their response when asked.
Fast-forward to this week. Now it's as if everyone has to make sure that I and everyone else knows that they are here for "the Barack Obama inauguration".
Always the emphasis on the name with these people, like just saying it is some sort of magical incantation that is supposed to wow and impress me and bend me to their will.
Me: "Hi there. You may not have noticed all those signs but can't park your car here."
Them: "But we're here for the Barack Obama inauguration!"
or:
Them: "Excuse me! I'm here for the Barack Obama inauguration and I'm lost!"
Me (under my breath): "You certainly are..."
Them: "What'd you say?"
Me: "Uh, I said 'Nice car'."
Them: "Oh, thank you. I rented it special for the Barack Obama inauguration!"
It's a blatant display of the Cult of Personality instead of just an event. In other words, it's all about "The One" personally and nothing else matters.
My eyes actually hurt from all of the constant rolling, and my tongue...oh, it is so bitten. But so far I've managed to avoid getting in trouble at work due to my rumored inability to keep my opinions to myself on such matters as the fate of my beloved country and the spectre of four more years under the Steve Urkel administration. I'm actually quite pleased with myself, and a few professional acquaintances who know me are impressed. But there's still Monday to come.
So to take my mind off all of the portents of doom for America that are so evident in DC right now, I accepted an invitation to join a few friends at a local gun show that's new to the area. What I got instead was a stark reminder of the fact that elections have consequences.
The show was small, at less than a hundred tables, including the obligatory jerky sellers and peddlers of crappy Chinese and Pakistani knives that no gun show would be a gun show without. (It'd be like a dog without fleas.) There were maybe three AR-15's in the place, all for over $2K each and none of them anything special. I saw only one SKS there, a stock Norinco, and when I asked what the seller wanted for it, he actually said "eight hundred dollars" with a straight face. Likewise, a fairly beat Smith and Wesson Model 66 .357 Magnum revolver that caught my eye was also $800 firm, per the obese seller slouched in a chair behind the table. Not sure if that was better or worse than the the old Universal totally non-mil-spec M-1 carbine that he was flogging for six hundred bucks right next to it.
One seller had PMag AR Magazines for sale at $49.95 each, limit two per customer, and after accepting a hundred bucks from one of my friends, I bought two of them at his request on behalf of a co-worker of his who was not with us.
Yes, I "straw-purchased" PMags. And just remembering it makes me want to go take another shower. Ugh.
Oh, and those PMags were all sold in the first twenty minutes of the show.
I needed reloading gear. There was none to be found save one battered and incomplete Lee progressive press for $115, a bunch of overpriced brass, and three cans of powder, none of which I could use for anything I load. One of my party went home happy though after snagging a couple of boxes of .308 ammo for $25.00 each, and another guy there bought the only factory Ruger Mini-14 mag in the place--a rusty 20-rounder--for $30.00.
I had ny eye out the whole show for a decent .38 Special revover for a nice young lady that many of you probably know, but alas, no joy. There wasn't one worth a damn to be had at a reasonable price.
We were in and out in well under an hour, me with a tear in me eye as I wept silently for my country.
On a brighter (I hope) note: The Chantilly, VA gun show is coming up Feb. 8th through the 10th. Maybe--just maybe--there will be a bit more normalcy there. Saturday morning, anyone?

It just keeps getting worse for America.
Just when I thought that Obama could not show any more disdain and disrespect for patriotic Americans, especially veterans and current members of our military, he nominates Lurch for Secretary of State.
Yep. The man who sold out our troops and our country years ago, who then came home and made his fortune by marrying the rich widows of men who actually earned their money, and who was rejected by America when he ran for President due basically to his integrity issues and character flaws is now supposed to be America's spokesman to the world.
Give me an effing break.
And call me cynical for being one of the first to say that this is more about positioning Lurch for another run at the White House in 2016 than it is for doing anything positive for America, but I suspect that you'll have to call me correct as well.
Any senator who votes to confirm Lurch and who thereby votes to expunge his treasonous past needs to be impeached and then tarred and feathered publicly.
Axis of Evil, 2012 edition.
Thanks, Obama voters and those of you on the right who sat the election out. The rest of us are now getting the government that you deserve.

Poser in Chief
Every news channel today is showing pictures and video of Barack Obama campaigning in a military-style flight jacket, complete with an "Air Force One" patch and a military name tag on it, this despite the fact that Obama never served in the military or even supported our troops during his four years at the helm.
To be frank: you need to take that off, Barry. You can dress like America's heroes all day long if it makes you feel like a man, but thousands of homeless scammers do this every day, pretending to be vets to get cash from sympathetic suckers. The only difference between them pretending to be vets and you dressing yourself up like one is that you want votes and power over us all and they just want a few bucks for booze.
Take that jacket off, Mr. President. You didn't earn that.
Take that jacket off, Mr. President. You didn't earn that.

Here we go. Obama offers corrupt bargain to hispanics
"You give me and my people four more years in power, and I'll give you and all of your illegal friends and relatives the keys to this country!"
That's what Obama was basically saying in comments that he made to pet journalists in a "off the record" moment recently. After winning a lion's share of the Latino vote four years ago by promising virtual amnesty to every illegal alien here if he was elected, he turned his back on the Latinos and yanked that promise away like Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown after pledging to hold it still for him to kick. He had two years of unchecked power courtesy of majorities on both the House and Senate and he could have--and did--pass everything that he wanted during that time. He also failed to even mention the citizenship-for-illegals promises that he'd made to the Latinos who'd put him there.
Well now here we are again, with Obama fighting for his political life. He was counting on the unions to storm-troop him back into the White House, but they've backed away due to his failure to repay their efforts last time around. He was counting on American college students and young voters, but they're not impressed and polls suggest that they won't be turning out for him either. Same for the Hollywood set and the environmentalists. Four years ago, Barry the Pretender made extravagant promises to all of these widely-divergent special-interest groups, apparently not realizing that if he honored any of them, he'd have to betray one group for every other group that he mollified. He's spent the last four years trying to use all of his power to make each of his donor groups happy, but it almost always came at the expense of other heavily-invested groups and the American people at large. Now nobody's really happy with him, at least to the extent where they're willing to go to the mat campaigning for him or giving him money, and he's falling behind his challenger.
Cue the Hispanics.
"Hey, Jose! Maria! You know I didn't really blow you all off last term," Obama is saying in his fake spanish accent. "What I meant was that I plan to make you all Americans and let you get on welfare and compete against our unemployed citizens for scarce jobs this time around, but you've got to re-elect me first. I'll take care of you this time, I promise! You've just got to trust me!"
Are the Latino voters really that stupid?

American murdered in Libya identified as former Navy SEAL.
Another one of the dead Americans in Libya has a name now: Glen Doherty.
Doherty, originally from Massachusetts, was working as a private security contractor when he was murdered along with our Ambassador. Before that, he'd been a Navy SEAL for seven years. He died trying to protect Ambassador Christopher Stevens and foreign service information officer Sean Smith. Their whereabouts were unknown for twelve hours as Obama campaigned in Las Vegas.
I'd love to see Obama show some remorse or anger over this death of an American who served honorably and subsequently dies in the service of our country, but according to his schedule, he's too busy campaigning in Colorado to be bothered.
Today, on 9/13/2012, America badly needs a President and Commander in Chief. But alas, all we apparently have is a partisan money-raiser and perpetual job-seeker.

Another Day, Another Attack on America
This morning we awaken to find news of muslim mobs "spontaneously" attacking the US Embassy in Yemen, invading our compound and destroying our flag.
The one thing that I have been looking for in the news reports that doesn't seem to be there: reports of the US Marines attached to the embassy firing into the crowd of invaders and stacking their bodies up like sandbags. I mean, that's why our Marines have rifles and that's why our embassies have Marine details.
In another day and another time, this sort of invasion of sovereign US territory would have been tantamount to a declaration of war, and the Marines would have acted to protect US lives and property. But apparently they've been told to stand down and allow the attackers access to US soil, just like they were in 1979 in Tehran.
It's morning in America, my friends. However it's looking like the morning of November 4th, 1979 again. James Barack Carter Obama had better wake the hell up and tell his muslim pals that this stuff's either going to stop or be stopped by force. And I'm thinking that these muslims need to be reminded what happened the last time that they started chopping down American Embassy flagpoles back in 1801. Hell, Barbary Coast muslims are the reason President Jefferson and Congress created our Navy. I just wish that we had a President with the balls to send it back over there again and use it as the instrument of American policy abroad that it was intended to reinforce.
Heck, who am I kidding? Obama won't even cut short his campaigning and fundraising when American officials are being murdered and dragged through the streets. As America heads towards war Barry is heads to Las Vegas. That tells us all where his priorities lie.

The Arab Spring has sprung...on Obama
So let's see....
Egypt's government fell to the Muslim Brotherhood this past year, and the Obama Administration supported them. Yesterday they returned the favor by attacking our Embassy, invading our compound, and burning our nation's flag.
Libya also underwent a regime change, and without even bothering to ask Congress as our Constitution requires. Obama deployed military air assets and sent in advisors on the ground to help the insurgents win. And how did they show their gratitude? By coordinating with the other muslim extremists above and attacking our consulate, killing our Ambassador and three other Americans.
You see, Barry? This is why you need to ask others with more experience (Congress, for example) before making unilateral decisions about things that you don't understand and then patting yourself on the back for "going it alone". But the benefit of your decision to keep Congress out of your foreign policy military moves is that you personally own this one 100%, and now that it's all pear-shaped, you have no one else to share the blame with.
But in true Barry Obama/Hillary Clinton fashion, our government has responded quickly, issuing APOLOGIES to the muslims for offending them, even though we did absolutely nothing to incite these attacks.
Let me recap that: Two sovereign American compounds were attacked. Americans were murdered and our national Honor was insulted. And Obama responded with APOLOGIES!
There should have been a response from the American government all right, but it should have involved naval gunfire, airstrikes, and perhaps even a couple of Marine Divisions on the ground marching into a couple of capitol cities. You sand fleas want to get all big and bad? Fine. Let's see how you do with a large chunk of your nation's power grids and port facilities knocked out by our cruise missiles and stealth aircraft and a naval blockade of your coastlines until you remember who you're messing with here.
Sigh. The reality is that they know exactly who they are messing with. They know that Barry Obama, for all of his willingness to use the power of the US Government against us citizens here to make us live as he deems proper, would sooner sell his wife and daughters in the Sudanese slave markets than risk making the world muslim community angrier at him personally. And that last bit is important. Obama doesn't care if the world hates America as a nation; he has gone on record plenty of times hating it, too. Obama doesn't want the world hating him personally. It's always been all about him in his mind and that's how American foreign policy has been conducted since he took office. That's how we got to this point today and why it's only going to get worse for America until he's gone.
Not that I see anything particularly Reaganesque about Mitt Romney, but I do believe that he'll at least try to do what's right for our country instead of trying to protect his own reputation and legacy in the eyes of those abroad who hate us for who we are. November 6th cannot get here fast enough, and on that day, we send a message to the world about what kind of country we're going to be. On November seventh, the wold world will know that we've either rejected Obama's national self-loathing or affirmed it for all time. And if we affirm it, God help us, because we'll have just given the green light to every mud-hut-dweller with an AK-47 or bomb to come at us and attack our citizens without fear.

Obama forces our troops to attend his photo op, gets punked.
So what do you get when you alternatively disrespect, ignore and suppress a group of people and then force a bunch of them to stand behind you and sit in an audience in front of you while the cameras roll?
Well our Kenyan Pretender got just what you'd expect yesterday at Ft. Bliss when he flew down for a "pro-military" photo op/campaign stunt. As he spoke at a room full of troops and family members, he was met only with scant applause or outright silence as he practically begged for a demonstration of enthusiasm.
Obama Speech Before Troops Met With Silence.
His praise for the soldiers — and for his own national-security policies — won cheers from only a small proportion of the soldiers and families in the cavernous aircraft-hanger.
The audience remains quiet even when the commander-in-chief thanked the soldiers’ families, and cited the 198 deaths of their comrades in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The audience’s reaction was so flat that the president tried twice to elicit a reaction from the crowd.
“Hey, I hear you,” he said amid silence.
The selected soldiers who were arrayed behind the president sat quietly throughout the speech.
CNN and MSNBC ended their coverage of the speech before it was half-over.
He tried to praise them, he tried to tout his accomplishments, he even tried to invoke their own unit nicknames. All of it failed, and it was so embarrassing that even his own two pet media outlets cut off coverage to spare him the humiliation.
But what could he possibly have expected? In just three and a half years, Obama has supported prosecution of our troops for any slight or injury to enemy combatants or captured terror suspects. He's leaked the details of military operations and compromised operational tactics by letting our enemies know how our forces operate. He's taken credit for the things that they've done and even claimed that they fight for him, not for America. He's forced the radical homosexual agenda down our troops' throats, blocked their efforts to vote from overseas via absentee ballots, and now he's even suing the state of Ohio for giving our troops extra time to vote. He's raised their tri-care costs, laid many of them or their peers off, and denied countless career servicemembers advancement opportunities. In short, he's been an unmitigated disaster for our men and women in uniform and given them no reason at all to support him or trust him.
Then he does something stupid like show up on their base and arrange for hundreds of them to be forced to sit in on his photo op.
It just goes to show that you can force our troops to show up, and their code of honor will even compel them to show you basic respect, but, as Obama just found out, you can't force them to pretend to like you.
How embarrassing. What a complete and utter PR failure. And it's a travesty that the media conspired to ignore this and keep it from the rest of America.

Half a Million Stimulus Dollars Used to Buy Radio Ads on Obama Attack Dog Shows
Blatant corruption, anyone?
As reported by the Washington Times, half a million taxpayer dollars were used by Barry Obama not to create "shovel ready" jobs, but to run campaign ads on MSNBC's shows, specifically the shows of two of his most strident water-carrying sycophants.
Labor Department spends stimulus funds for ads during Olbermann, Maddow shows
Ever since Obama grabbed the nation's checkbook and started handing out stimulus cash, we're heard and seen how it's been channeled to Obama donors and supporters instead of being used to create public works like roads or bridges as we were promised when the Democrat-run Congress passed the spending bill. But this is just over the top, even for the First Kenyan. How does it create jobs to run Obama ads on two shows that pretty much no one but the Obama faithful even listen to? It should be clear to the whole country by now that the only jobs Barry cares about creating or saving are jobs for his cronies and suck-ups, and his own, of course. He couldn't care less about the rest of us and it's probably giving him a great deal of pleasure to keep rewarding his lapdogs and living the lavish life on our dime while unemployment continues to rise, gas prices climb, and foreign threats continue to grow.
I would suggest that when President Romney takes office in January, that an investigation of the whole corruption-plagued stimulus program be undertaken just as soon as we can get the GAO's office cleaned up and purged of Obama appointees and that every mis-spent dollar be reclaimed from the companies and individuals that it was awarded to, at least those that haven't already gone bankrupt. (Those need to be referred to the Attorney General's office for fraud investigation and criminal trials.) If Romney is any kind of man, he'll have MSNBC writing a check back to the Treasury Department for every penny that Obama gave them, and failing that, I seriously think that the government ought to look at seizing Obama's personal assets as well as those of then House and Senate leaders Reid and Pelosi, who colluded with Obama by rubber-stamping his agenda and refusing to allow any checks and balances or assuming any oversight on how the money was wasted. They were either criminally complicit or grossly negligent and they all need to be held to account if only to serve as an example and a warning to the next bunch who consider abrogating their responsibilities as "public servants" as outlined in the US Constitution. This crap needs to stop and people need to be punished for what was already done.
Sigh...but who am I kidding? We can't even get the mainstream media to report on any of this because they're on board with Obama and the Democrat Party too.
Off to the ammo store to buy another case.
