House Resolution 36: Obama’s Banghazi-Loo?

Benghazi Liars: They knew!

On September 11, 2012, four Americans were murdered in Benghazi, Libya.  The four were: Ambassador Chris Stevens, Communications Specialist Sean Smith, and former Navy SEALS Ty Woods and Glen Doherty.

For weeks, the Obama administration insisted it was the result of Islamic anger over an amateurish anti-Muslim YouTube video.  U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, hit the Sunday news show circuit with this story, doing segments of five such shows in one day!  Hillary Clinton, the U.S. Secretary of State joined in on the cover-up, appearing with Obama in a $70,000 commercial apologizing to “our Muslim friends in Pakistan” who were rioting and tearing apart their countries because they hated America so much.  Even Obama took this “You Tube Video” lie to the United Nations, delivering a long-winded speech about how evil it was for an American citizen to exercise his right to free speech by making the “anti-Muslim” YouTube video.

Obama’s administration even imprisoned the producer of the video for so-called “probation violations.” One wonders where the producer of the video, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, is now. Obama probably whisked him off to some rendition camp in Karachi.

Despite the Obama administration’s best efforts, most of us who can think for ourselves knew the Benghazi incident was a terrorist attack.  And finally, we all “officially” learned that it was indeed a terrorist attack; but now … nobody seemed to know who originally Susan Rice, Hillary Clinton, and the President of the United States that it was all caused by a YouTube video.

And … as it turns out; Obama was informed that the al-Qaeda-linked group Ansar al-Sharia had claimed responsibility for the attack within two hours.

It also turned out from a series of hacked emails (from Bill Clinton crony Sidney Blumenthal to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton) that Ansar al-Sharia attacked the consulate and CIA annex in retaliation for the CIA’s involvement in the Libyan civil war … on Muammar Gaddafi’s side.  We also know from a Blumenthal February 16, 2013 email that the attack on the consulate was funded by our so-called allies, the Saudis.  And we now knowthat Benghazi was a hub for funneling weapons and cash to the al-Qaeda-linked Syrian rebels.

But this has only scratched the surface. There must have been something much worse going on in Benghazi for the Obama administration to so desperately want to keep a tight lid on it.  What was the Obama administration doing in Benghazi that was so top secret, that the thirty odd survivors have been kept under lock and key, prohibited from speaking to Congress, or anyone else for that matter?

Americans now know from the recently published book, Benghazi: The Definitive Report, that Obama’s chief counter terrorism officer at the time, John Brennan (now CIA chief) had been secretly involved in the Libyan civil war.

Through a secret black ops unit—operating not only outside the purview of Congress, but outside the purview of the Pentagon and the CIA, John Brennan, conducted his secret war in Libya.  And this is probably not the only secret war he was involved in!  One would wonder, now that he’s CIA chief, what he is up to now?

Obama, smooth operator that he is, naturally promised the American people that  he would get to the bottom of what happened in Benghazi and “bring the perpetrators to justice.”  However, to date, not one single person has been “brought to justice.”  The killers of an American Ambassador are still at large.  I wonder how Obama’s newly appointed replacement Ambassador, Deborah Jones, feels about that?

And the result of his “investigation”, the so-called “Benghazi Accountability Report,” released on December 17, 2012, didn’t actually find anyone accountable. This is not surprising, since the report’s chief author was Islamic apologist Thomas Pickering, who is tied to the National Iranian American Council. Pickering also hobnobs with leftist billionaire George Soros, sharing the Board of Directors table at the think tank International Crisis Group.

Congressman Frank R. Wolf is now calling for a real investigation … a “Watergate style” investigation, as outlined in House Resolution 36, sponsored by over fifty congressional members.

Further, on April 8, an open letter was sent to the House of Representatives,  signed by seven hundred Special Ops veterans demanding House Resolution 36 be acted upon. The mother of Sean Smith, the communication officer murdered on September 11, has also supported the passage of House Resolution 36.

They want answers:

  1. Why were no military assets sent to protect American lives?
  2. Why was the “stand down” order given?
  3. Why has Obama hidden the survivors?
  4. Why has Obama forbidden the survivors to speak to Congress?

All in all, they are demanding that sixteen specific questions be answered.  Of course, Obama and his cronies will not willingly answer these questions; as they have not answered questions about Fast and Furious, or taxpayer dollars lining the pockets of  bankrupt “green energy” company CEOs who just happened to be Obama campaign bundlers!

A Watergate-style series of hearings may begin to unravel these Benghazi  lies and cover-ups … so Americans can finally find out what exactly the Obama administration was doing in Benghazi on September 11, 2012 … that Obama feels must be hidden at all costs?

Maybe we should pay some attention to the man behind the green curtain and see just what underhandedness Barack Hussein Obama was involved in.

Quote of the Decade

This is way too good not to share!

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, ‘the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”

~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006

Obama Lied About Cutting Medicare? Really? I can’t believe it!!
English: President Barack Obama's signature on...
English: President Barack Obama’s signature on the health insurance reform bill at the White House, March 23, 2010. The President signed the bill with 22 different pens. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

OMG!  Say it isn’t so!

Obama, the Anointed One, would be incapable of lying … wouldn’t he?

How about it Uncle Joe?  Could it be true?

But, alas, it seems he does … again and again and again … ad nauseam!

Remember how, during the 2012 election campaign, Democrats denied that ObamaCare made $716 billion in cuts to Medicare in order to provide funding toward $1.9 trillion in new entitlement spending over the next ten years.

Well, guess what? It has begun and the truth will set you free!  On Friday, the Obama administration revealed that it would significantly reduce funding for Medicare, a move that one health insurance analyst said “would turn almost every plan in the industry unprofitable.”

You would think some Cool Aid drinkers would begin to see the light … but they won’t!  They are too damn stupid!

Health insurance stocks crashed following the announcement that a large part of the Medicare cuts would come from the successful Medicare Advantage program, a market-oriented system in which participants can choose coverage by a private company that contracts with Medicare to provide all Part A and Part B benefits.  This should actually come as no surprise, it is merely the Obama way … tax those things (people, programs, and things)  that do work to pay for those things that will not work!

According to health care analyst Carl McDonald, the new rates proposed by the Obama administration will have the net effect of reducing payments to Medicare Advantage plans by seven to eight percent in 2014. McDonald projects:

If implemented, these rates and the program changes CMS [Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services] is suggesting would be enormously disruptive to Medicare Advantage, likely forcing a number of smaller plans out of the business and creating disarray for many seniors.

According to Richard Foster, former chief actuary to the Medicare program, ObamaCare’s cuts to Medicare Advantage will likely force half of its current participants back into the old Medicare program, originated in 1965. It is estimated that this change will cost Medicare enrollees an average of $3,714 in 2017 alone.

Democrats have long been unfriendly toward the Medicare Advantage plan, which was passed as part of the Balanced Budget Amendment of 1997 and has seen tremendous growth over the past 10 years. Today, more than 25 percent of seniors receive their health benefits through Medicare Advantage.

Responding to the announced cuts, America’s Health Insurance Plans’ (AHIP) president Karen Ignagni said, “Washington cannot tax and cut Medicare Advantage this much and not expect seniors to be harmed.”

Last year it was revealed that, while AHIP was openly supporting ObamaCare and working on a deal with the White House, it was also secretly funneling over $100 million to the Chamber of Commerce to be spent on advertising designed to convince Americans that the new legislation should be defeated.

Sometimes, being able to say, “I told you so,” just isn’t enough!

Obama’s Actions May Bring About A 2nd American Revolution
"Americans will always fight for liberty&...
“Americans will always fight for liberty” – NARA – 513806 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

What can true Americans do? What is left to them when the current administration ignores the law of the Land and willfully circumvents the U.S. Constitution?  What can be done when Obama ignores Congress and rules by executive order; thus negating the principles of separate, but co-equal branches of government as part of a system of checks and balances? What can American’s do when a left-wing dictator wannabe manages, through the support of some wealthy left-wing agitators and a corrupt Chicago-style political machine, to gain the Presidency and then proceeds to dismantle the very fabric of what makes this country such an exceptional and successful nation?What do you do when your current government administration gets caught red-handed running guns to Mexican drug cartels, an action resulting in the deaths of two American Border Patrol Agents, to carry out a scheme to quash the 2nd Amendment and ban/confiscate legal, law-abiding American gun owner’s property; and when confronted; can simply hide behind “Executive Privilege?

What do you do when your dictator-in-chief politicized a tragic event to further weaken American’s 2nd Amendment Rights; while ignoring the real causes of the problem such as mental illness, the over-prescribing of brain-altering drugs in young Americans, and the unwillingness of too many parents and public schools to teach the much-needed life-lessons of resiliency and personal responsibility?

What do Americans do when their government, either through incompetence or willful neglect, cause the death of its own U.S. Ambassador to Libya along with several other Americans, hides behind a ridiculous “lets blame the video” lie, fires the appropriate “scapegoats,” and then never pursues the killers? What do you do when this same administration ignores Americans being killed by Al Qaeda in Algeria because they have already announced that Al Qaeda is defeated, on-the-run, and no longer a threat?

What do Americans do when the so-called “Free Press” is owned lock, stock, and barrel by that same administration, and serves as its official nation-wide propaganda machine? What do you do when the liberal, drive-by media spoon-feeds the “Obama is our Savior” swill to entitlement-addicted Cool Aid drinkers who cannot think critically, or will do nothing out of the fear of losing their cushy life-style supplied by the ever-dwindling numbers of over-taxed hard-working Americans; and vote only to keep their ever-increasing entitlements?

In the past, the American Spirit was one of Liberty … not entitlement.  We were only entitled the three things … Three God-given Rights … Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness! This great ideal has since been fundamentally transformed!  Currently this is being interpreted to mean the right of some to help themselves to other people’s money and property … simply  because they do not want to work for it themselves … or are much too busy enjoying a hedonistic, drug-fueled, or other-wise irresponsible life-style!

When America was great … the primary ideal was personal liberty!  People came here seeking the liberty to work hard, to change their stars,  and to have a real chance at creating a better life for themselves … not simply the  guarantee of a mediocre life on the public dole!

Obama plays the fear card over and over and over again!  How many times have you heard: conservatives want to push Granny over a cliff … guns are evil … Republicans want you to drink dirty water …  Paul Ryan will steal your social security checks … Romney is a horse-owning job outsourcer!  Parents are now too stupid to fix their own kids school lunches.  Women are too stupid to get their own birth control!  Entrepeneurs are too stupid to build their own businesses?  Americans are too stupid to keep their own incomes!  Why does he do this?  Because fear is the “passion” of slaves!  Wealthy progressives want their stupid peasant class.  Ans the Cool Aid drinks will willingly give it to them …  in exchange for their public housing, food stamps, ObamaCare, welfare checks, free condoms, and un-employment checks!  For the Cool Aid drinkers, these entitlements are worth their price … chains and slavery … they will stay on the progressive plantation!

What is then left to the rest of us?  Are we to go quietly into the night?  Are we to simply sit back and watch American be destroyed by an enemy, one that is not foreign … but domestic?  History shows us all where the path Obama has us on will lead to.  The “lamp of experience” shine a very clear light on where we are headed.  Are we going to allow ourselves as a nation to be relegated to such a level of degradation and abasement that we cannot be allowed to think for ourselves, cannot be trusted with guns for our own defense, and will not be allowed to exercise our own person sovereignty?

Is our legacy to our children and grandchildren destined to be one of debt, mediocrity, and simply another failed socialist, nanny-state?  Or, … can it still yet be that of  a great nation; a shining Beacon of Light, a powerful, respectful nation of hardworking, honest and compassionate people?   Not the much-politicized progressive false-passion of the liberal propaganda machine, but the true passion that comes from the heart of an honest, caring, and strong individual … an American!

The actions of a few ideologically driven radical left-wingers, like Obama and his cronies, that have somehow managed to manipulate the system to gain political power are going to back America into a corner … a corner there may be no peaceful way out of.  Much like the infamous Dredd-Scott Decision, where a Democratically controlled Supreme Court almost guaranteed the U.S. Civil War by rendering a decision that eliminated any possibility for a peaceful resolution to the slavery issue … the Obama administration‘s ideology-driven executive orders, his constant circumventing of the U.S. Constitution, and his war on what makes Americans Americans … may well be the tinder that serves to ignite a 2nd American revolution!

If this is Treason, then make the most of it …

You Just Can’t Fix Stupid!

WillieWonkaNew York: In New York State, where they already have lots of gun control laws and law-abiding citizens are already effectively rendered defenseless; it seems criminals actually do get guns … dare I say it … ILLEGALLY!  And then, they actually commit crimes with them!  And … worse yet … they shoot police officers (like the 3 officers shot in two separate shooting incidents last night) with them!  So progressives want to create even MORE defenseless law-abiding citizens … by passing still more laws for criminals to ignore?

~You can’t fix stupid!

Nearly 30,000 New Laws in 2012:  It seems that the American Sheeple are in desperate need of regulation!  With the popular re-election of President Barack Obama, the Democratic Party has been able to harness the feverish desires of the American Sheeple for even greater implementation of Progressive doctrine. In the first year of his Presidency, Obama’s administration enacted 40,697 laws, not counting the thousands of helpful and necessary regulations enacted through his Czars and various administrative organs of the State.

These regulations and laws serve to free the American Sheeple from having to worry about making bad decisions that might actually have consequences. By blindly following the regulations set forth by the Obama administration, American Sheeple will not have to be concerned about making any decisions that prove to be inconvenient … or prevent them from receiving their fair share of other people’s money.

More regulation means safety and security, and security is the only real kind of prosperity that is worth having. The Obama government guarantees prosperity for all its citizens through the equitable redistribution of the hard-working man’s earned wealth to those who simply prefer to go on the public dole.

With so many new laws, 2013 is bound to be a year of great prosperity!  President Barack Obama is so confident in his new prosperity plan that he has returned to his estate in Hawaii for the second time in a month, signaling his confidence that America is blindly marching forward towards Socialism without any real impediment or opposition.

Obama Administration’s Incompetence Knows No Bounds!
Obama-Biden Transition
Obama, Holder and Clinton … An Axis of Incompetence?

Despite the best efforts of Obama’s administration and his liberal lap-dog media to keep things covered up, the facts surrounding the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi are slowly coming out.  Only two conclusions can be logically drawn from the facts slowly coming to light:  Either Obama is completely incompetent or he is guilty of serious criminal neglect in his duties as President.  He and his administration are directly responsible for the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens and the three other Americans killed in the terrorist attack on 9/11.  Maybe he should have attended a few more security briefings than fund raisers?

Issa, R-Calif., and Chaffetz, R- Utah, state that they have information from an individuals “with direct knowledge of events in Libya.”  These individuals state that U.S. diplomats in Libya made repeated requests for increased security for the consulate in Benghazi and were repeatedly turned down by officials in Washington.

While Obama and his cronies still try to spin the story that this well-orchestrated attack was simply a spontaneous popular protest to a YouTube video clip, the facts point to a very different conclusion.  This attack was actually the latest in a series of attacks, about 13 separate incidents since April according to experts, on Western diplomats in Libya over the last several months.  Here are just a few examples:

  • In April, a gun battle erupted about 2 miles from the consulate between an unidentified armed group and forces loyal to the transitional government.
  • On April 6, two Libyans who were fired by a security contractor threw a bomb over the consulate wall.
  • On June 6, a bomb blast blew a in the security perimeter big enough for 40 men to get through.
  • Just weeks before the attack, the unarmed Libyan guards at the consulate, employed by the British contactor, Blue Mountain Group, were warned by family members to quit their jobs because there were rumors of an impending attack.

Of course Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, an Obama administration expert on “man-caused disasters” and what the proper U.S. response to “overseas contingencies” should be … when asked about the security measure in Libya on September 11th, stated; “Let me assure you that our security in Benghazi included a unit of host government security forces, as well as a local guard force of the kind that we rely on in many places around the world.”

I am sorry … but that is frightening!  So where were they?  This laughable level of security is typical world-wide?  I would think a “reduction in the security profile doesn’t seem consistent with the threat on the ground.”  Unless … maybe it was to try and persuade American voters that Muslims love us now because Obama is President.

And where was Obama … at a fund raiser in Las Vegas?

Couple this ridiculous, incompetent security fiasco in Libya and its resulting American deaths and Obama administration coverup … with the recent facts coming out  the Obama administration lies surrounding Fast and Furious … and it gets even scarier!

Now we hear about another 57-odd American guns … walked across the Mexican border  by the ATF with no means of tracking them.  And … that it was not just Arizona’s border … but also involved Texas and Florida!  And that some of these guns were used in a brutal massacre by  a Mexican drug cartel … resulting in the deaths of 16 high school students and 12 more being injured!  The truth is … we were never supposed to know about these guns.  And … we would not have … except that they screwed up badly and a Border Patrol Agent got killed.  Those guns were snuck across the border by Obama’s administration so that when one was eventually used in a crime … Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, and Eric Holder could point to it and say, “See … we need to register, confiscate, and ban private ownership of guns in America!”

Kind of sheds a bit of light on … and makes sense of … Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama’s stubborn support of the U.N. arms control treaty efforts … doesn’t it!

And … just a comment about Obama’s liberal lap-dog press/campaign publicity team.  The liberal media has truly become an enemy to America … and a free Democracy.

The Founding Fathers wanted and created a free press … to serve as a watch dog on the government and to protect the people from government excesses.  I remember when it did not matter whether you were a Republican or a Democrat … the press was on your ass … they were truly government watchdogs.  Now they are simply another one of  Obama’s publicity tools!

It is bad enough when the liberal media works tirelessly to shield their Messiah from any negative press (despite its truth or accuracy); while savagely attacking any challenger with innuendo, half-truths, and out-right lies.  But when the press begins to decides which, or what, “truth” the American people should hear … then they are no longer a free press!  They are simply the willing tool of a dictatorship.  And … they have become the enemy of a free people!

A Few Thoughts on Obamanipulation!
Tax
Tax (Photo credit: 401K 2012)

Do you like being manipulated by Obama?

Obama was on the road again … giving his cool-aid-laced campaign speeches and, as usual, they are dripping with deceit, half-truths, and out-right lies.

Obama goes on about job creation and how his administration will focus on that area of the economy now.  He mentions we need more teachers, police, and firefighters … his patented buzzwords.  Why is it always teachers, police, and firefighters?

Obama always mentions teachers, police, and firefighters … because those are buzz words that invoke an emotional response.  What parent does not want good teachers for their children?  How can you not feel a twinge after  hearing a plug for police and firefighters  … especially after 9/11.  Everyone wants to feel safe … right!  But let’s be honest here … shall we?  Don’t we also need engineers, construction workers, oil rig hands, lineman, computer technicians, data analysts, electricians, and machinists, etc.

And, just how many teacher, police, and firefighters will Obama actually hire.  These are actually municipal jobs. The vast majority of teachers, police, and firefighters are hired by municipalities …. and funded by tax dollars.  This means higher taxes.  I am all for good teachers …. and more police and firefighters (IF THEY ARE ACTUALLY NEEDED)!  But should this be the central focus of a federal jobs creation program?  I really don’t think so!  For Obama … who will actually hire NO teachers, police, or firefighters … these are simply code words for more federal bureaucracy!

Can I ask you a question and get an honest answer?  What do we really have to show for that $1 trillion stimulus package Obama bragged about … at  least until it failed?  You know … all those shovel ready jobs he talked about.  Where are they?  We spent almost $1 trillion ($870 billion) in tax payer dollars … what exactly did we get?  Show me … point to some real jobs!  Can you?  Are you better off? A few of Obama’s bundler buddies got very rich by embezzling tax payer dollars, in the form of government guaranteed loans …  via their “green energy company” scams!

Actually, here is where some additional Obama “stimulus” money went:

The Agriculture Department’s Rural Housing Service likely loaned hundreds of millions of dollars to ineligible borrowers as part of President Obama’s stimulus package, a report by federal watchdogs has revealed.

The stimulus earmarked more than $1 billion for RHS home loans in rural communities. According to the Ag Department’s Inspector General, up to $292.3 million of those loans may have financed ineligible projects, or gone to borrowers that did not meet the loan program’s requirements due to their potential inability to repay the loans.

The IG examined a sample of 100 RHS stimulus loans, and found that 17 had been extended to borrowers who “(1) had no history of stable and dependable income, (2) had a credit history that did not indicate the ability and willingness to repay a loan, or (3) did not meet repayment ability guidelines.”

Six loans in the report’s sample financed properties that did not meet the program’s eligibility requirements. Some “lacked sufficient documentation that the homes were decent, safe, and sanitary,” according to the report.

The IG extrapolated with 95% certainty that between 1,111 and 2,433 loans totaling between $124.3 million and $292.3 were made to ineligible borrowers or projects. The report faulted RHS personnel for the oversight.

Just more vote buying by the Obama administration.  Saying one thing … doing another …. while the liberal media covers for them; or ignores the facts and just spreads the manure being shovelled out by the White House Press Secretary.  It is just more Obamanipulation!

But hey …. the Obama’s are really very good at that.  Michelle Obama had a great job in Chicago making $375,000 per year doing hospital outreach work. Actually, it was a non-job … Michelle Obama rarely ever had to show up!  And can you guess what she did for them … she supported and implemented policies that made sure indigents and people who could not afford their medical care … got pushed off to other hospitals.  Now that’s compassion for you!

Do you remember how President Obama promised the American people, “If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what.” Surprise, Surprise: the Obama Administration now admits that this isn’t actually the case!  Now it seems that, for all practical purposes, a majority of group health plans will lose their grandfather status by 2013.   Over time, as more Americans lose their existing health insurance, any new plan would naturally be subject to Obamacare’s overreaching regulations, mandates, and violations of religious liberty.  This is just one more example of Obama’s endless stream of broken promises.

You know … Obama was so quick to condemn Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin case …  before anyone even knew the facts.  Now, that is real leadership for you!  You would think, then, that he would be equally quick to condemn horrible acts of violence perpetrated against the other people he is also the  so-called “president” of.  Yet he seems strangely silent over:

  • an 18-year-old Chicago boy named Alton L. Hayes III, who, along with a younger accomplice, viciously attacked a 19-year-old boy with a tree branch simply because he was white. Hayes, who is black, said he was upset over the Trayvon Martin case.
  • an angry, race-fueled mob who beat a man by the name of Matthew Owens.  Owens is now in critical condition while the suspects still remain at large. Reports say that twenty people, all black Americans, attacked Matthew Owen on his front porch with “brass buckles, paint cans and anything they could get their hands on.”  One of the attackers was overheard saying: ”Now that’s justice for Trayvon.”
  • And lastly, there is the horrible story of a white, 13-year-old boy who was walking home from school when he was accosted by two black teens. They chased the boy to his house but barred him from entering.  According to reports, one of the suspect’s grabbed a red gasoline can saying: “This is what you deserve. You get what you deserve white boy,” dousing the boy with gasoline and setting him ablaze.

Were is the outcry from President Obama, Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson?!  Why so silent?  I guess maybe they are all busy at  strategy meetings with the New Black Panthers.   Maybe it is just more Obamanipulation … and Obama really is playing his version of “the race card.”

Yet Another Obama Fantasy

Despite statements put out by the Obama administration and the liberal media‘s info-chicks, the economy is not recovering. A recent gallop poll show unemployment rose to 9%. The rate for the under-employed (those working part-time but want full-time employment) is 10%.

Combining the two rates gives us a realistic unemployment rate of 19%.  This is the number that would have been reported until Obama changed how the government counts unemployment to make his numbers appear better than they are.

Hmmmm!  And … how about those who’s unemployment benefits have run out and have simply given up on finding a job?  They aren’t counted anymore either!

Obama And His Minions Just Simply Do Not Get It!
Image representing Solyndra as depicted in Cru...
Image via CrunchBase

Just when you thought you had heard it all, Obama reaches to disgusting new levels of “buck passing.”   Obama paused on his re-election campaign disguised as an effort to promote his “revenue enhancement” program disguised as the American Jobs Act; long enough to blame George W. Bush for the $535 million Solyndra scandal.  This is the lowest of the low.  While those involved are called to testify before Congress and desperately point fingers at each other, two thoughts come to my mind:

  1. If this administration (and yes, other past administrations) spent half as much time trying to be good stewards of the tax dollars they get from the American people as they do buying votes and furthering personal political careers, there would be no need to raise taxes or cut spending.  This mess we find ourselves in is clearly the fault of career politicians seeking power and personal gain by rewarding “friends” and punishing “dissenters.”  We need to return to the idea of “citizen-legislators” and good stewardship.  Can you say “term limits?”
  2. American tax payers want their $535 million back and those implicated in this “green power” scam brought up on charges. It has become clear that even before the government “stimulus” loan was made to Solyndra,  officials at Solyndra knew their company was going belly up.  In fact, they sent false “glowing progress reports” to the Obama administration even as they were keeping close tabs on their press coverage to block any bad publicity. 

As House Republicans begin to investigate Solyndra’s stimulus loan scandal, theyhave looked at emails between the White House and Solyndra officials.   WHile Obama had touted Solyndra as a “green jobs” success story thanks to a $535 million loan guarantee funded through the 2009 economic stimulus law, the emails show a different story.  They show a clear interaction between Solyndra officials and the Obama administration surrounding Obama’s visit to the Bay Area,  These emails  included “corporate gig” job offers as well as efforts to limit press coverage to friendly media outlets and reporters in an  attempt to generate positive press while squelching any possible negative press.  It is also clear theat the OMB warned Obama to wait until they checked Solyndra out … due diligence!  Obama would not wait … these were his cronies after all!  Looks like Obama was also warned by the OMB That Solyndra would go belly up … the OMB even got the month and year right … September 2011!  Obama, in typical Chicago-thug style politics ignored the OMB and pressured them into approving the loan.

Obama minion and DNC Chair, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, recently confirmed my long-held belief that progressive-liberals live in a make-believe world of denial and fairy tales.  Her asinine comment that the congressional seat held since 1923 (almost a century) by democrats is in “a very difficult district for Democrats,” should earn her the “dumb-ass” of the century award.  Bob Turner’s victory is simply a solid rebuke to Obama, his leftist policies, and his sycophantic cronies.  But progressive-liberals cannot see this fact, because they live in a socialist “dream” land where they are so much smarter than the rest of us and therefore, must take care of us.  It looks like the democrats, in typical underhanded fashion, will now simply try use gerrymandering to “re-district” Bob Turner’s  seat out of existence.

It does, however, look like the Republican party must be doing something right!  Left-wing pundit, Keith Olbermann recently stated that the Republican party is now the leading terrorist organization in the Unites States!  Yep!  That’s right …. surpassing even law-abiding gun owners, military veterans, Bible-clutchers, and yes … even the Tea Party!   Personally, I do not think I could find better company!!  Al Qaeda and Hamas need to get busy … if they want progressive-liberal democrats to elevate their respective organizations from “trusted allies” back to “terrorist” status.

In other news, Michele Obama has taken it upon herself to teach us poor dumb Americans what to eat … while she, of course, dines on only the finest in tax payer provided cuisine.  Michele Obama is certainly not doing “weight watchers!”  While I agree that it is sad so many Americans are overweight  … that is a matter of choice and personal responsibility and should not be another area of government intrusion into our lives.  I actually have seen more and more of my neighbors out swimming, walking, and riding bikes … and they are doing it because they want to be healthier … not because of some government mandate.

Surprise, surprise! Obama has resurrected his “internet Snitch brigade.” Do you remember when Obama came under fire for encouraging his supporters to collect and report any “fishy” information on his White House web site link flag@whitehouse.gov.  After widespread public outrage over his Administrations use of “useful idiot” minions to spy on their fellow Americans (a trick communist Russian dictators perfected), the White House quickly removed the e-snitch link from their Web site.  It seems, however, that Obama’s creepy monitoring program (on his new campaign Web site www.AttackWatch.com) is back … just in time for his 2012 re-election campaign.

It is so sad it is almost funny.  Obama insults, and pulls the rug out from under America’s greatest ally in the Middle East, Israel (the only stable democracy in the area); and supports Israel’s mortal enemies … terrorist groups like Hamas or the Muslim Brotherhood (who if they did not  have the Jews to try to kill, would be trying to kill us or each other).  Then on his AttackWatch site, claims Glenn Beck “twists the facts on Israel:”

Conservative pundit Glenn Beck added his voice to a growing collection of false allegations about the President’s record on Israel. “We’re talking a lot about Israel,” said Beck. “The President of the United States, I believe, has betrayed our last strong ally.”

Glenn Beck is simply stating his belief … a freedom we are all supposed to have under the U.S. Constitution!  Most Americans seem to agree with the assessment.  Look at the Jewish support for Bob Turner’s victory in last Tuesday’s special Congressional seat election in New York!

And where does the Obama camp get its “dirt” on Glenn Beck?  From clear-thinking, fair and balanced George-Soros-funded progressive-liberal media outlets like MoveOn.org, Media Matters, and ThinkProgress.org!  Hmmm!  Who would have thunk it?

Zero Net Jobs Added in August!

American employers stopped hiring in August. According to CNBC reports, this is the first time since World War II that our economy has had a net zero jobs created during a month. The weak economy situation was underscored Thursday by the Obama administration, which estimated that unemployment will average about 9 percent for the next year, when Obama will run for re-election. The unemployment rate was 7.8 percent when Obama took office.

And it just keeps getting better ….

Next week, Obama will deliver a much anticipated presidential address to a joint session of Congress, introducing his plan for creating jobs and boosting economic growth. That is, if Congress will just get focused, and give him his plan by then!
