"How do you tell a Communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin." – Ronald Reagan – September 25, 1987
I didn’t watch the Super Bowl so I missed the interruption by Barack Hussein Obama to discuss healthcare, or Obamacare with Katie Couric, that perky Lefty who is taking a forced pay cut.
“I want to come back and have a large meeting, Republicans and Democrats, to go through systematically all the best ideas that are out there and move it forward,” claims Mr. Obama.
In a very weak attempt to demonstrate bi-partisanship, transparency and reconciliation with the opposing views of those radical right-wing extremists this is only a circus stunt and has nothing to do with open debate on C-Span. What does Obama hope to accomplish on February 25th with a half-day meeting at Blair House across the street from the White House?
The leader of Obama’s “state media”, the NY Times has this to say about Mr. Obama’s gesture:
“In making the gesture on Sunday, Mr. Obama is in effect calling the hand of Republicans who had chastised him for not honoring a campaign pledge to hold health care deliberations in the open, broadcast by C-Span, and for not allowing Republicans at the bargaining table.”
How many times and how fast can you say, “Snake Oil Salesman”?
The Washington Post, another loyal member of the state-run media reports that White House officials report
“…said the president will come to the health-care summit armed with a merged version of the two bills that Democrats strong-armed through the two chambers with almost no GOP backing.”
“In separate statements Sunday, Democratic leaders praised the president for calling the bipartisan summit but made clear they are not prepared to give up on the progress they made last year.”
Imagine that!
The fact is Democrats had the chance to pass Obamacare, they had the votes and call one straying Republican bi-partisanship. American’s are not easily fooled twice by Obama and his teleprompter eloquence.
Too late! Obama and his ilk have had ample time to reach out to Republicans but instead have called them obstructionists. The problem is Republicans have had a plan which has been on public display but is being obstructed by Democrats.
Obama’s infomercial was more of the same only this time the “Emperor” and his plan are exposed and American’s aren’t interested.
Barack Hussein Obama took office on January 20, 2009 and the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the U.S.
economy employed 134.6 million people and the unemployment rate stood at 7.6%.
Blaming a devastated economy Mr. Obama decided he would solve the mess “he inherited from his predecessor” (code for George W. Bush) by passing a stimulus bill, pouring billions of taxpayer dollars into the economy.
Obama “experts” promised the stimulus money would employ at least 138.6 million people. This from $862 billion of your money. If you had hope in Obama’s plan I’m sure you have little change left in your pocket.
Currently the Bureau of Labor Statistics is at it again providing real numbers that seem to suggest that Obama plan for hope and change is reflecting negatively.
BLS released its monthly jobs report for January 2010 which show the US economy shedding another net 20,000 jobs, leaving only 129.5 million jobs, almost 10 million short of that promise of hope, change and job creation.
According to Mr. Obama, as stated in his State of the Union Address, jobs are still priority number one. Attempting to divert attention from the bleak news about to appear Obama said:
“That is why jobs must be our number one focus in 2010, and that is why I am calling for a new jobs bill tonight.”
After one-year in office Mr. Obama and his brain trust suddenly decided throwing more good money after bad is a good idea for creating jobs that government can only create within its own massive conglomerate. Keep in mind, “jobs bill” is Obama code for more of that stimulus.
This is how a free market, capitalist economy works:
Lame ideas such as providing a tax credit to small business for hiring new employees does not create jobs, the above suggestions is putting the economics of job creation ahead of the need for new employees. It’s not that difficult to figure out if you’re being honest and Obama, Reid, Pelosi and the whole administration is as dishonest to the American people as one would expect from left-leaning ideologues.
Back to that job creation. This week, the Obama administration announced that the number of government employees will grow to 2.15 million this year. Growing government creates more waste, increases the deficit and does nothing to spur growth in the private sector. It’s lipstick on a pig and the pork in Washington is smoldering.
Jonathan Rauch explains:
“Economic thinkers have recognized for generations that every person has two ways to become wealthier. One is to produce more, the other is to capture more of what others produce. … Washington looks increasingly like a public-works jobs program for lawyers and lobbyists, a profit center for professionals who are in business for themselves.”
Barack Obama claims he is focused on job creation. Unfortunately, the erstwhile Obama needs his eyes tested. Indeed!
Is Eric Holder, the US Attorney General actually the Commander-in-Chief or is Barack Hussein Obama delivering his marching orders?
Mr. Holder released a letter yesterday to Minority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) defending the Obama administration’s criminal justice system approach to prosecuting the war against al-Qaeda. Defending his administration’s handling of the Flight 253 terrorist, Holder wrote:
“I made the decision to charge Mr. Abdulmutallab with federal crimes, and to seek his detention in connection with those charges, the knowledge of, and with no objection from, all other relevant departments of the government.”
In sworn testimony by Director of National Intelligence Adm. Dennis Blair answering a question by Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), Mr. Blair directly contradicts AG Holder.
Sen. Collins asked Mr. Blair if he had been consulted about how Abdulmutallab should have been interrogated. Mr. Blair responded:
“I was not consulted” and has since said his remarks have been “misconstrued.”
Retractions don’t count for much when you are contradicting previous testimony under oath.
I propose that Holder and Blair meet with Congress, together and under oath, to settle the argument so we may understand what side the Attorney General comes down on. It’s our belief, based on his actions and his work as an attorney in civilian life, that he protects the Jihadists and wishes to convey on them all rights under the US Constitution as provided a real US citizen.
In his letter to Mr. McConnell, Mr. Holder wrote:
“Neither advising Abdulmutallab of his Miranda rights nor granting him access to counsel prevents us from obtaining intelligence from him. On the contrary, history shows that the federal justice system is an extremely effective tool for gathering intelligence.” Holder appears to be arguing that reading suspects their Miranda rights is a great way to get them to talk.
We didn’t know Abdulmutallab, a citizen of Nigeria, had “rights” in the United States. Silly us!
American University law professor Kenneth Anderson notes:
“The point of offering suspects the Miranda warning and associated rights is not in order to persuade them to talk, but in order to make sure they know they don’t have to and, if they have much in the way of brains, won’t.”
Weekly Standard’s Stephen F. Hayes points to this exchange between CNN’s Paula Zahn and Holder about American Taliban John Walker Lindh from January 28, 2002.
Zahn: “How much pressure should they put on this man to get information out of him as they interrogate him?”
Holder replied: “Well, I mean, it’s hard to interrogate him at this point now that he has a lawyer and now that he is here in the United States. But to the extent that we can get information from him, I think we should.”
So Blair contradicts Holder, then himself via a retraction and Holder contradicts himself from a conversation he had in 2002.
Speaking at the Heritage Foundation, Sen. McConnell says: (Full Video below transcript)
“The fact remains that all the intelligence he possessed concerning the locations, training techniques, and communications methods of Al Qaeda in Yemen is perishable. Yemeni forces needed that information on December 25th, not six weeks later. Meanwhile, the American people are left to wonder whether, in place of interrogations, their safety depends on terrorists having families who can persuade them to talk.”
“No one denies that a balance must be struck between preserving civil liberties and protecting the homeland. No one wants to sacrifice one for the other. But in many cases, all that’s involved is a simple question of judgment. And when a judgment call has to be made, our priorities should be clear: keeping Americans safe should always win out, within the law.”
Its Barack Obama’s role to balance national security and civil liberties so we wonder: Did Obama instruct Mr. Holder to provide Miranda rights similar to his order to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan or was Mr. Holder acting alone?
Watching the Obama administration play this out we put our money on the fact that this group of political ilk has an interest in protecting enemy combatants, terrorists, al-Qaeda, Taliban and any other group by any other name with an objective to destroy America. Indeed!
Does Barack Hussein Obama ever quit looking into the camera and continue to lie to the America public?
Apparently the answer is a resounding NO!
Enter the Obama budget:
But wait, Obama is proposing a spending freeze.
Obama’s administration claims it would halt spending increases for $447 billion of their total budget, with a total of $15 billion to be saved. That amount, touted as something so significant is less than one-half of one-percent off of last year’s spending. This isn’t even an across-the-board spending freeze; it is an aggregate one.
These so-called “spending cuts” are in parts of the budget that are immediately channeled to others. Even though the federal government doesn’t need any money for the Census next year, Mr. Obama counts the $5 billion spent this year as a “spending cut” that can be immediately spent on other government programs, such as a 16% increase in Department of Education funding, a 6.8% increase in Department of Energy funding, and increases for ineffective Health and Human Services programs like Head Start and sex education.
If you call in during the next 5-minutes you will receive Stimulus II, another spending spree that will dwarf and most likely eliminate the “freeze.”
You will also receive tax hikes, including higher taxes on families earning more than $250,000 and a brand new tax on financial institutions to pay for the failed automobile union bailout, but you need to call the number on your screen now.
And as a special bonus, if you order right now, a record national debt will be sent to you “free.”
It’s a good thing Obama is forecasting the weather. The Obama administration now forecasts $5.08 trillion in debt over the next five years; that is 35% more debt than they forecast just 12 months ago. OOPS!
Now if only Congress and Obama would publicly disclose the massive unfunded obligations of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, then put those programs on long-term budgets; and enact the necessary entitlement and program reforms that can keep government within those limits. Indee!
Please, call the fire department!
