Obama not so Loved by the World

Let's face it.  The media keeps trying to tell us that the world loves Obama, but in actuality that is only evidence of a delusion that our media has been giving us and the rest of the world...in spite of any evidence to support their claims.

We do have to concede that Omar Gadafy and Hugo Chavez find much to admire in our President,but where is the proof that the "big bad United States" is profiting from this "citizen of the world"?

Abdom M. Pallasch, a political reporter for the Chicago Sun-Times, said in his recent article that 'Obama did not have time to un-do the terrible image the world has of America'. Pallasch quoted Jesse Jackson who said:  "There must be" resentment against America, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said, near the stage where he had hoped to give a victory speech in Daley Center Plaza. "The way we [refused to sign] the Kyoto Treaty, we misled the world into Iraq. The world had a very bad taste in its mouth about us. But there was such a turnaround after last November. The world now feels better about America and about Americans. That's why I thought the president's going was the deal-maker."

Obviously, no other European country has rushed to parrot us in infusing more money into their economies, and Obama has angered our allies in his refusal to blast Iran for its nuclear developments when speaking last week at the U.N. This fact was revealed by a Paris newspaper-not our own own media.  Next, the Taliban get words of encouragement from Obama when he tells the world we are not interested in "victory" in Afghanistan.

There is danger in an ego as big as the one that consumes Obama.  His narcissism is fed by the American media. Obama and our media go into denial when evidence of Obama's failures are clear to see.  The Olympics fiasco is one thing, but the lives of our soldiers and the health of our economy can not be a victim to this President who seems to be spread too thin with his perceptions of grandeur. 

It is frightening to consider what event it would take to give Obama a reality awakening before serious harm befalls this nation.  We don't deserve the failings of Obama's decisions...not even those who voted for him.

Obama Fails American Voters by Dismissing Black Panther Case

If a few skin-heads had shown up outside a voting precinct in Hattiesburg,Mississippi to intimidate black voters,do you possibly think the Obama justice system would dismiss the case?

Fox News reported:

A poll watcher who provided an affidavit to prosecutors in the case noted that Bartle Bull, who worked as a civil rights lawyer in the south in the 1960's and is a former campaign manager for Robert Kennedy, said it was the most blatant form of voter intimidation he had ever seen. In his affidavit, obtained by FOX News, Bull wrote "I watched the two uniformed men confront voters and attempt to intimidate voters. They were positioned in a location that forced every voter to pass in close proximity to them. The weapon was openly displayed and brandished in plain sight of voters.

More maddening is this reported from a Philadelphia newspaper,The Bulletin:Sources told The Bulletin that there is internal dissension in the Department of Justice (DOJ) about a voter intimidation case from last year’s presidential election. Obama appointees did not want to proceed with the case, while the career prosecutors did. The incident occurred in Philadelphia and involved the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense (NBPPSD).

This is outrageous and proves the Obama justice system is corrupt.

Eric Holder! What have you been doing lately?

Voter Intimidation

Ayn Rand Would Approve Fox not Airing Obama Press Conference

As book sales for Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" continue to go through the roof in 2009, Americans are memorizing her famous quotes as if to build a line of defense for Capitalism. The woes of Wall Street and Washington bail-outs have embattled taxpayers searching for affirmation of basic American core beliefs such as:

Government "help" to business is just as disastrous as government persecution... the only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping its hands off. 
Ayn Rand ~

CNN is reporting that Fox Network will not air Obama's upcoming press conference due to the fact that getting 13 million viewers for "Lie to Me" is preferable to the last press conference that garnered only 4 million viewers. So in the interest of making money, Fox Network will warn viewers ahead of time to catch Obama on their Fox News channel.

Networks stand to lose millions in advertising revenue when regular viewing is interrupted. So in the interest of making money and their viewers happy, there will be a small return to Rand's theory of "objectivism" or making money when the occasion allows.

Obama Appoints Anti-Military Journalist as Advisor to the Pentagon

Fox News reports that Obama has appointed former L.A. Times columnist,Rosa Brooks, to an advisory post at the Pentagon. 

There are a couple of concerns with this appointment of Rosa Brooks:

1) Brooks wrote a public proposal to help bail-out the newspapers. In a nut shell, let them be taken over by the government.  Heck, why didn't Ben Franklin think of that back in Philadelphia? Anyways, Brooks idea on the media are as follows:  "direct government support for public media" and creating licenses to govern news operations. "Years of foolish policies have left us with a choice: We can bail out journalism, using tax dollars and granting licenses in ways that encourage robust and independent reporting and commentary, or we can watch, wringing our hands, as more and more top journalists are laid off..." (makes one wonder how long it would take a Fox News reporter to get a license from the government).

2) Here is a quote from one of Brook's articles in 2007 at the LAT concerning her thoughts on the military:  "Don't fight needless wars; don't go blundering around in countries where you don't know the language, history or culture; don't underestimate the power of nationalism, ethnicity and religion to bind together -- or tear apart -- people whose interests otherwise seem to diverge or converge; and, most of all, don't imagine that military force can solve fundamentally political problems.' end quote~

In the same article, Brooks gave us this assessment of Bush and the Iraq War: "... To Bush, the tragedy of the Vietnam War is that we didn't let it drag on for another decade or so..."

This is the person whom Obama has appointed as an adviser to the Pentagon. No joke,she is a bonafide member of the Obama Administration!

The Editor at The New Media Journal had this comment: Editor's Note: Now, how in God's name, did this "journalist" and unabashed critic of the military qualify for a post in the Defense Department outside of its media department?? Her appointment is absolutely reckless and absurd.

Michelle Obama's Bees Swarm White House Bush

A new Queen Bee was hatched at the hives of Michele Obama causing the older bees to leave with the new queen to find a new home. Unfortunately the bees chose a bush next to a security gate where the press has its "stand-up" positions.

An emergency call was placed to the First Beekeeper,Charlie, and he was able to capture the Queen in a cardboard box. The other bees followed them back to the south lawn of the White House. The box will serve as a temporary hive.

Charlie the carpenter provided Michelle Obama the bees in her effort to be totally organic.  Charlie will watch over the bees, and the White House will get all the honey.

Queen Bee who caused uproar.

Obama Info Czar and the FBI Investigation

Can you imagine taking a job and one week later you go on leave of absence? That's what a White House official told CNN that Vivek Kundra is taking a leave of absence from his position at the Office of Budget Management until a search of his former office is completed by the FBI.

The Economic Times reports: Kundra went on leave after federal agents arrested an Indian-American businessman and a Washington DC government official on corruption charges Thursday and searched the offices of the capital city's chief technology officer as part of a corruption probe. 

The raid came a week after Kundra, former director of the agency responsible for overseeing the city's telecommunications infrastructure, was named as the White House chief information officer. But CNN cited a law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation as saying that Kundra is not involved in the case. end quote.

Yusuf Acar, a contracting officer for Washington's city government, and Sushil Bansal, a former city employee, are accused of swindling the city out of several million dollars by inflating purchase orders and billing the city for work by 'ghost' employees of Bansal's companies. They made initial appearances in federal court Thursday.

Acar, a 40-year-old native of Turkey, worked under Kundra. But Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs would not say whether the White House knew the investigation was under way when it named Kundra, but called the case 'a serious matter.'

Earlier last week when Obama appointed Kundra he said "As Chief Information Officer, he will play a key role in making sure our government is running in the most secure, open, and efficient way possible.”

Now you wonder if this guy paid his taxes.

"No" Ad Accuses Republicans of Following Rush Limbaugh's Cues

There's a liberal add popping up that says Republican leadership in Congress is following Rush Limbaugh.

Around noon the RNC had this response: “The Democrats are running a permanent campaign rather than doing the bipartisan work of governing," Republican National Committee spokesman Alex Conant said in an e-mail to CNN. "These ads are part of the Democrats’ larger strategy to do something, anything to try to take the focus of their massive spending binge," Conant added.

CNN reports the ad, “No,” is paid for by Americans United for Change and AFSCME, two groups that supported Obama during the general election and who are advocating for his agenda now that he’s in the Oval Office. end quote.

The ad,"No", starts with a picture of a foreclosure sign and a still of Obama signing (supposedly) the Stimulus Bill.  The goal of the ad is to frame all republicans as being against the Stimulus Bill, even the parts they entirely agree with. The viewer is suppose to come away feeling as though republicans have no good intentions and could care less if there are home foreclosures. In any event, it appears that Obama is still running for President.

Here is the lib ad, and it is insulting that they think the average citizen would believe it. Many will say 

They thought the election was over.

"No"

NAACP Needs to "Chill Out"

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Leaders of the NAACP on Saturday called for the firing of the New York Post cartoonist whose drawing lampooning the federal stimulus bill has drawn charges that it's racist and encourages violence toward President Obama. 

The NAACP needs to chill out. When I first heard the complaint, I thought of all the cartoons (and there are enough to paper a trail to the moon and back) of George Bush as a monkey. The one pictured above is pretty direct.  But I would say most members of the NAACP would see absolutely nothing wrong with this.

The NAACP has made strides, but now serves no purpose unless it stirs controversy.  Aren't there other groups they could help?  How about speaking up for women concerning Jon Favreau?  I thought Obama would have fired this sexist by now. Perhaps they could help out other groups with social issues in the United State? How about the high incidence of black women being battered at home?

It seems there is a concerted effort this week on the part of Eric Holder,James Clyburn, and Mr.Jealous to stir-up racial tension. Is this an attempt to quiet the furor over the Stimulus bill?  After all, threatening politicians, and newspapers with the term "racist" has worked in the past, but it just doesn't work as well with citizens who are not "cowards", and who are not in the mood to be labeled "racist" after putting up with an onslaught of name-calling for 2 years from Obama and his supporters.

In fact, the ploy of the NAACP may work on FOX and the New York Post, but the "whine" will be considered a vexation by many Americans.

Obama has New Communtiy Group: 'Organizing for America'

from Sarah Palin Tundra

Update to: CNN: Obama and Supporters Stay "WIRED"

As Obama was making his way to Washington via the rail tracks, he sent a message out to his supporters announcing his new group called: "Organizing for America."  It is Obama's tech savvy method to keep his supporters organized on a national level. His supporters will continue to receive messages to make calls etc. to their legislators for anything deemed necessary to ensure Obama's agenda is enforced. Brilliant move, and it is celebrated by Obama supporters as noted in this statement taken from an Obama blogger:

 

As you know Obama started as a community organizer but was mocked by some, but they soon found out a community organizer is someone that organizes the community to send the likes of McCain and Palin back to their community.

What Barack has simply brought street level community organizing to the net, it's very dynamic and powerful as some will find out soon. Over the course of the campaign he has reached out and assembled about 20 million or more e-mail addresses and untold millions of cell phone numbers for text messaging and by organizing on the web including his own website,  YouTube, Facebook, My Space, etc. The elected official that opposes affordable health care for all Americans and public works programs may have their phone ringing off the hook in a few days. They are going to face something they never faced before. from Gather. end Quote

 

For those who didn't vote for Obama (many democrats, republicans,and Independents as well) now is the time to organize.  Yet, we continue to see the splintering off of conservative groups who wish not to be identified with the Republican party because they are "compromising" with those who tend more towards the center.  It is understandable no one wants to compromise their beliefs, but there still has to be a unification of groups if there is any serious hope of winning against Obama in 2012.  To be goal-oriented is necessary. If the goal is to not see Obama win re-election, then people must unite for that one purpose.

To alienate well-intentioned organizations because one disagrees on some issues is not going to win any election...TRedwine

Democratic Party Changed Forever?

Perhaps the Democratic Party is fundamentally changed...and for a lifetime at least. Dionne talks about a large independent apparatus that will continue to operate from Obama's website. It is all based on "community organization."  Obama's method is old time politics mixed with community organization, and all of this is married to the internet. Obama has taken the best of old fashioned politics and has produced a town square on the web. It won't dismantle because the election is over; it is too powerful.  Republicans, Independents, and exiled Democrats are not organized. There is no real base for an opposition to operate from until someone understands these dynamics and begins to build something similar. I suppose the Gothic King Alaric attacked while the poor Romans were distracted. We are surprised, and it doesn't make sense to us...Redwine

read excerpt from The Post:

from The Washington Post....E.J. DionneJr.

Turning the Obama network into a vast national party organization could give Democrats durable advantages that the party has not enjoyed since the New Deal era, when Franklin Roosevelt built an alliance between local political machines and a growing labor movement.

But Plouffe himself has been much affected by the new way of campaigning he oversaw. His regular video reports to the troops turned him into something of a hero to the Obama faithful.

Moreover, Steve Hildebrand, Obama's deputy campaign manager, has argued that members of the network include many who are averse to traditional party politics: young people with weak party loyalties, independents and even some Republicans. He has been suggesting at Democratic gatherings that the Obama apparatus might instead constitute itself as an independent political organization -- friendly and parallel to the Democratic Party but a separate entity nonetheless. Obama supporters are also discussing how local networks could integrate into their communities through various forms of service work and activism. Obama's Web site is raising money for the victims of the Southern California fires....continue
