Obama
sows seeds of demise 4/29/2009 When the Obama administration crashes and burns, with approval ratings that fall through the floor, political scientists can trace its demise to its first hundred days. While Americans are careful not to consign a presidency they desperately need to succeed to the dustbin of history, the fact is that this president has moved ' on issue after issue ' in precisely the opposite direction of what the people want him to do. Right now, Obama's ratings must be pleasing to his eye. Voters like him and his wife immensely and approve of his activism in the face of the economic crisis. While polls show big doubts about what he is doing, the overwhelming sense is to let him have his way and pray that it works. The most recent Rasmussen Poll asked voters if they wanted an economic system of complete free enterprise or preferred more government involvement in managing the economy. By 77-19, they voted against a government role, up seven points from last month. http://thehill.com/dick-morris/obama-sows-seeds-of-demise-2009-04-28.html |

FACT CHECK:
Obama disowns deficit he helped shape 4/29/2009 "That wasn't me," President Barack Obama said on his 100th day in office, disclaiming responsibility for the huge budget deficit waiting for him on Day One. It actually was him - and the other Democrats controlling Congress the previous two years - who shaped a budget so out of balance. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20090429/D97SCPI00.html |

100 days:
$564 billion in new debt 4/29/2009 GOP's Price: Left unfamiliar with simple economic law Debt Day marks the day the federal government's spending exceeds its revenues for the fiscal year. This year, the government began spending money it doesn't have on April 26. "This is the earliest Debt Day that we have seen since people started recording this and three to four months earlier than in the past couple of years," says Georgia Rep. Tom Price, chairman of the Republican Study Committee. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=96398 |

| Obama, on
100th Day, Says He Is 'Remaking America' 4/29/2009 As Obama marked his 100th day, the Commerce Department said the U.S. economy capped its worst six-month slump in more than 50 years, with gross domestic product dropping at a 6.1 percent annual pace during the first quarter of 2009. GDP contracted at a 6.3 percent rate during the last three months of 2008. The latest decline reflected a record slide in inventories and further declines in housing. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aEOXy3xJPVoU&refer=worldwide NOTE: I wonder if it ever occurred to him that maybe I not only don't want America remade and for sure NOT into a socialist nanny state dictated by Liberals |

Biden: Stay Off
Subways During Swine Flu Panic 4/30/2009 NOTE: Good old "foot-in-the-mouth" Joe does it again, I'm sure the airlines etc. love this one. So, they run out yoyo Gibbs to explain what Joe "actually meant" - he really meant that if you have flu symptoms don't fly - but that's NOT what he said. What a pathetic excuse for a VP, absolutely pathetic. Guess we need to assign Gibbs to tag along with old Joe full time to translate everything he says. http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/us_world/Swine-Flu-0428.html FED JOB OPENING JOB TITLE: Full Time Translator Description: A high paying position working at the very highest levels of the Fed Government. Must be quick on your feet, able to do the Teaberry Shuffle with a stone face, must be fluent in "spin" and able to make the most obvious spoken statement seem what it is not. Requires working full time with a high Gov exec and you will be expected to be at his elbow at all times to perform you duties. Not a dangerous job, just humiliating. Assignment: Translate what VP Joe Biden says to "what he actually said or meant" (hey, it sucks but someone has to do it) Example: Joe says "don't fly" - you quickly jump in front of a microphone and say "what he really meant was - - - " with a stone face like you really mean it. Fringe Benefits: A local priest has agreed to give a blanket dispensation for all the lies you are forced to tell in public while in this position. Other: JOB MUST BE FILLED IMMEDIATELY - REPEAT IMMEDIATELY |

The Obama
Doctrine: The Castrated States of America 5/3/2009 In just 100 days Obama has moved us from a war footing to a wuss footing. Yes sir, from a foreign policy/national defense standpoint, Barack is making Jimmy Carter look like a full-on badass. The President is dead set on taking off our rowdy body armor and replacing it with a petite glittered bustier; he's insisting that our General Pattons become generally passive. A one-eyed, myopic circus freak can see this. Yeah, what I've deduced from Obama's teleprompter is this: The Obama Doctrine is, essentially, that America sucks. Everything is our fault. And to go forward, we must castrate everything that has kept us secure, because, y'know, we wouldn't want to continue to be safe and strong anymore, right? http://townhall.com/columnists/DougGiles/2009/05/02/the_obama_doctrine_the_castrated_states_of_america?page=full&comments=true

The things
you don't read about Barack Obama 5/3/2009 Will Rogers famously pleaded that all he knew was what he read in the papers. If all a person knew of Barack Obama's first 100 days as president was what they read of them in this newspaper, it would seem to be a very charmed young presidency. Here is a small selection of news on the most powerful man on Earth which has been deemed unfit to print: *Obama's first two major bills alone, the "stimulus" and "omnibus," cost nearly twice as much as was spent on Iraq over six years $1.2 trillion vs. $650 billion. *Obama abandoned his campaign promise of "a net spending cut," his first annual deficit ' not counting bailouts ' being three times the worst deficit under President George W. Bush. *Obama*s objective in his first G20 summit * commitments to spend our way to prosperity with massive stimulus boondoggles across the G20 * was rejected out of hand. *Obama's objective in his first NATO summit ' commitments to combat troops for Afghanistan from "our European allies," which Obama and his party imagined were ready and willing to fight if only someone "enlightened" like him were running things ' was predictably refused, with some more European non-combat contingents offered as a token. *Obama's Defence Department announced cuts of $1.4 billion to missile defence, the day after North Korea test-fired its long-range, multi-stage ballistic missile. *Obama's economics were criticized by Warren Buffet, whose endorsement had been candidate Obama's highest economic credential. *Obama reversed the free trade Bush policy that had allowed about 100 Mexican tractor-trailers into the United States, which the Mexican government immediately used as an excuse to levy tariffs on 90 American goods amounting to $2.4 billion in U.S. exports. *Obama's "tax cuts for 95 per cent" turned out to mean $13 a week from June to December, to be clawed back to $8 a week in January ' as compared with President Bush's 2008 tax rebates of $600 to $1,200 plus $300 per child, which were notably scoffed at during the election campaign by Michelle Obama. *Obama's campaign promise of a $3,000-per-employee tax credit for businesses that hired new workers ' repeated ad nauseam for weeks before the election ' was discreetly retired even before inauguration day. *Obama abandoned his campaign promise that "lobbyists won't work in my White House," waiving his no-lobbyist executive order or conveniently re-defining his appointees' past lobbying work to allow 30 lobbyists into his administration. *Obama abandoned his campaign promise to reform earmarks, signing the omnibus bill which contained 8,816 of them. *Obama took more money from AIG than any other politician in 2008 ' over $100,000 ' and signed into law the provision guaranteeing the AIG bonuses which later had him in front of the cameras "shaking with outrage" and siccing the pitchfork crowd on law-abiding citizens who had fulfilled their end of a contract and had their payment upheld by Obama's own legislation. The people need a Fourth Estate, not yet another adulator of Barack Obama, yet another smearer of Sarah Palin, yet another patrician editor to keep out anything disagreeable to progressive sensibilities, yet another laptop-and-latte journalism-schooler to spit on everything pre-dating 1968. And they wonder why the news business has come on hard times. http://thechronicleherald.ca/Opinion/1119680.html |

Presidents Don't
Prosecute Their Predecessors 5/3/2009 In the span of 220 years there have been 43 changes of presidents, and always this rule, never written but never broken, has prevailed: Presidents let their predecessors be judged by the merciless jury of history, not by the temporal verdicts of courts. The greatest wisdom on this subject comes from an honorary American. "If the present tries to sit in judgment of the past," Winston Churchill wrote, "it will lose the future." http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2009/05/03/look_to_the_future_not_the_past_96313.html |

Barack
Obama's rich supporters fear his tax plans show he's a class warrior
5/10/2009 Some of Barack Obama's richest supporters fear they have elected a "class warrior" to the White House, who will turn America's freewheeling capitalism into a more regulated European system. A top Obama fundraiser and hedge fund manager said: "I'm appalled at the anti-Wall Street rhetoric. It was OK on the campaign but now it's the real world. I'm surprised that Obama is turning out to be so left-wing. He's a real class warrior." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/barackobama/5301078/Barack-Obamas-rich-supporters-fear-his-tax-plans-show-hes-a-class-warrior.html NOTE: Don't you just love fools with buyers remorse that we'll be stuck with for another 4 years? - Be very careful what you wish for, you just might get the whole thing. |

'Smoking gun' leaves holes in CO2 debate
5/14/2009 EPA criticized for findings based on politics, not science A White House memo has created a firestorm after it criticized the Environmental Protection Agency's classification of greenhouse gas as a public health threat and warned that regulation of CO2 will result in "serious economic consequences" for businesses and the economy. He read from the memo. "There is a concern that the EPA is making a finding based on harm from substances that have no demonstrated direct health effects, such as respiratory or toxic effects," it stated. On multiple occasions, the document questions the EPA's judgment in determining that greenhouse gases endanger public health. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=98036 NOTE: Finally we have the proof that this has ALWAYS been political not scientific in the White House's own "handwriting" |

Media recognize Obama's failure to support
dollar 5/16/2009 Report concludes: 'Demise may be only a matter of time' In a clear sign the dollar collapse is so imminent that the mainstream media can no longer cover up the inept way the Obama administration has managed international economics, the New York Times finally published on Thursday an editorial declaring the end of the U.S. dollar is at hand. "We can't keep on just borrowing from China," Obama told the Rio Rancho audience. "We have to pay interest on that debt, and that means we are mortgaging our children's future with more and more debt." The only surprise here was that the Rio Rancho town hall meeting may have been the first time these realizations occurred to President Obama. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=98210 |

White
House: Closing Gitmo a 'Hasty Decision' 5/21/2009 White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said closing the detention center at Guant?amo Bay, Cuba, was a ?hasty decision,? in his daily press briefing with reporters. But he later backtracked in the briefing and clarified that he was referring to decisions made under George W. Bush. So either the White House spokesman misspoke or said too much. That?s for the public to decide. To some critics, Gibbs comment might evoke Michael Kinsley's famous political adage. Kinsley defined a gaffe in Washington as a moment when someone tells the truth. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2009/05/20/white_house_closing_gitmo_a_hasty_decision_96593.html NOTE: The "truth" seems exceptionally illusive in this administration it seems |

Obama's Credit Card Reform Is a Fraud 5/23/2009 In our book "Fleeced," we explain how credit card interest was subject to usury limits of the various states until 1979. But the Supreme Court emasculated these limits by ruling that the state of the lender, not of the borrower, had the sole power to legislate interest rate limits. South Dakota swiftly jumped into the void the court created, eliminating any usury limits. All the credit card companies moved there and took advantage of the regulatory vacuum to hike their rates to unconscionable levels. http://www.newsmax.com/morris/obama_credit_card_reform/2009/05/22/217360.html |

| Obama
gets schooled on terror: Cheney bests him in speech duel ? by sticking
to the facts 5/24/2009 It was a tale of two speeches. One was clear, direct and powerful. Barack Obama gave the other speech. It would have been heresy to write those words any other time, so commanding has President Obama been with the spoken word. But the real Mission Impossible was to imagine that wheezy old Dick Cheney would be the speaker to best Obama. Yet that happened last week, and I predict it won't be a fluke. From here on out, results will increasingly trump the sensation of Obama's high-toned lectures every time. Especially if they are as dreary as last Thursday's, which was so disingenuous and self-reverential as to be one of the low moments of his presidency. Besides not being able to clearly lay out his plan for Guantanamo detainees, Obama never mentioned what will happen to others we capture in Iraq and Afghanistan. Perhaps we will take no more prisoners? "To the very end of our administration, we kept Al Qaeda terrorists busy with other problems," Cheney said. "We focused on getting their secrets, instead of sharing ours with them. And on our watch, they never hit this country again. After the most lethal and devastating terrorist attack ever, seven and a half years without a repeat is not a record to be rebuked and scorned, much less criminalized. It is a record to be continued until the danger has passed." For his part, Obama sounded like a put-upon plaintiff arguing a Supreme Court case. The heavy symbolism of his setting, the National Archives in front of an original copy of the Constitution, added to the worrisome impression he is lost in the legal and political weeds. http://www.nydailynews.com/opinions/2009/05/24/2009-05-24_obama_gets_schooled_on_terror_cheney_bests_him_in_speech_duel__by_sticking_to_th.html |

American capitalism gone
with a whimper 5/30/2009 It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people. The proud American will go down into his slavery without a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker. http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/107459-0/ NOTE: And this from the Russians? You notice they say "decent" - NOT "ascent" into Marxism |

It's
increasingly evident that Obama should resign 5/20/2009 We expected broken promises. But the gap between the soaring expectations that accompanied Barack Obama's inauguration and his wretched performance is the broadest such chasm in recent historical memory. This guy makes Bill Clinton look like a paragon of integrity and follow-through. From health care to torture to the economy to war, Obama has reneged on pledges real and implied. So timid and so owned is he that he trembles in fear of offending, of all things, the government of Turkey. Obama has officially reneged on his campaign promise to acknowledge the Armenian genocide. When a president doesn't have the nerve to annoy the Turks, why does he bother to show up for work in the morning? http://www.sj-r.com/opinions/x124603932/Ted-Rall-It-s-increasingly-evident-that-Obama-should-resign |

Barack Obama's 10 mistakes in Cairo There's been lots of breathless commentary today about the "historic" moment and the power of Obama's oratory. In time, however, the speech will probably be remembered, at best, for its high-flown aspirations rather than the achievements it laid the foundations for. Or, at worst, for the naive and flawed approach it foretold. http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/toby_harnden/blog/2009/06/04/barack_obamas_10_mistakes_in_cairo |
