Obama's such a douchebag that he can't even be discreet. I know all men look but the smart ones are never this obvious. I love the way my boyfriend, Sarkozy, is amused by Obama. He's probably thinking that if he were married to Blackie-O he'd be leering the same way. Ah, Blackie-O. Now that my friends, is the silver lining in this. Yeah, I don't love that MY president goes abroad and routinely makes an ass of himself but the idea that Michelle will see this...priceless.
Just had to share the comment Reasonsjester from Point/Counterpoint made;
Everything you need to know about Obama can be surmised from this photo. Look how President Medvedev isn't looking at Obama and Obama had to leave his podium to walk over to Medvedev's to shake hands. The Russian president knows body language and is purposefully making Obama look bad. Even my sons knew, at a very young age, you look at someone while they are addressing you. If you don't, it shows an lack of respect. Hmmm, I guess no one ever bothered to teach Obama that.
Anyone can see that Obama puts himself in a position of weakness every chance he gets. What a douchebag and an embarassment.
My friend, Reasonsjester at his blog Point/Counterpoint, has written a brilliant and in-depth article that you must read! Just click here...
It is a singularly joyful and heat-warming event that I look forward to every year. Standing outside of the garage, awaiting the parade this year, I noticed my husbands motorcycle (the one I refuse to ride on until my children and grown and independent) and decided we should hop on and join the parade. My mister is nothing if not spontaneous and quickly grabbed a small American flag, taped it to the motorcycle and off we went to join the parade. We caught up with the it just as it was beginning and we made the entire loop through the neighborhood bringing up the rear of the parade, far back enough that we didn't make the children uneasy with the roar of the engine. The fourth of July is my very favorite day of the year in my neighborhood. As corny as it may be, my heart grows full at the sight of the houses decorated with flags and people dressed in red, white, and blue. Some months back, I became a member of the Republican Jewish Coalition (yes there is such a thing and we have more than three members!) and a few days ago, I helped out at a huge and wonderful event. It was a lovely summer bash at the Lowe's Hotel in Santa Monica. There were more than 300 attendees, among them David Horowitz, Senator John Thune, (who spoke on Iran, the US and our future), Evan Sayet (who did the funniest stand up I have seen in years) and John Ratzenberger, whose speech I missed. Let me just say this about my new friend, John Thune, he is ridiculously handsome, personable and smart. In that order! He was there with his brother and sister-in-law, who live in SoCal. I spoke at length with his brother and sister-in-law and I wish we could just clone the entire family. These people were brought up with the best American values and Christian morals and it shows. I suspect John Thune will at some point become a candidate and very serious contender for President and after having a brief chat with him and hearing him speak, I think he would be great for my country. And not just because he is lovely to look at. I just hope my boyfriend, Charles Krauthammer isn't the jealous type. I consider myself very lucky that my mister is not. But then, he knows I'm not going anywhere. No matter how delicious my 'boyfriends' are!
BEWARE THE OBAMA 'EVIL EYE'
Tue Jun 30 2009 07:43:56 ET
As the summer begins, White House watchers have spotted a new look by President Obama: The Evil Eye!
Staffers have joked about the menacing glance, which comes when the
president meets with world leaders who are not aligned with his
progressive view.
White House photographers have captured the "evil eye" in
recent weeks, during sessions with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and
Colombia's Alvaro Uribev.
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi got hit with the commander's malocchio last week in the Oval office.
And at least one White House reporter has been on the receiving end of the daggers during a press conference.
Developing...
(I'll bet he doesn't have the balls to look at Blackie-O that way!)
Well, the president has a knack for getting all of these big decisions wrong...
NPR's
Nina Totenberg scolded the more adversarial approach some in the White
House press corps took to President Obama during Tuesday's press
conference, but on Inside Washington this weekend columnist Charles
Krauthammer rejected the notion the media's honeymoon is “over,” as he
cracked:
The hot sex is over, they're in the cigarette stage right now. You get a question or two that's slightly obstreperous, but the adulatory coverage is still all wall-to-wall.
That's a comedic improvement over what he offered Tuesday night on FNC when he suggested “it looked as if the stupor that the press has been in for the last six months is lifting slightly,” before he quipped: “I say that as a psychiatrist who has a lot of experience in watching these things.”
National and community
service has been a cornerstone of my life, as I know it has been for
many Americans. And with the daily struggles now confronting so many
families, it's especially important for us to reach out to one another
and offer a helping hand.
I've just launched United We Serve, a national initiative to tackle our
toughest problems by working hand-in-hand in communities across the
country. We aim to make a real difference right now and bring more and
more Americans into a tradition of life-long service to make an even
greater difference down the road.
I'd like to invite you to be a part of it by joining Organizing for
America's National Health Care Day of Service this weekend. You can
join up with other local OFA supporters to help improve health care
services in your community and make a difference as we work to reform
America's health care system.
Sign up now to participate in a National Health Care Day of Service event this Saturday, June 27th.
There's an old Thomas Edison quote I've always liked: "Opportunity is
missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like
work." It's no secret that our country faces some enormous challenges
right now, and meeting them will take a lot of hard work. But in that
work lies an equally great opportunity -- a chance to serve. And I do
believe the chance to serve is a precious gift indeed.
Service has played a transformative role in my life -- bringing me
tremendous joy and helping me find the path that led to where I am
today. As a parent, I believe service is a great way to demonstrate
values and to teach our children firsthand what it means to commit to a
purpose beyond ourselves.
It should be a part of everyone's life. From the moment someone can
walk to the day they leave this planet, service should be a part of how
we give back, how we say thank you, how we express our gratitude for
the lives that we've been given.
So I'm deeply honored for this chance to support our United We Serve
initiative and Organizing for America, and I hope you'll be able to
participate this weekend. Please sign up now to volunteer at a local
event:

Thank you,
First Lady Michelle Obama
He added: "Maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller."
(And that, ladies and gentlemen, was my favorite moment of the infomercial. The moment that should have made it abundantly clear that Obamacare would mean managing the elderly's healthcare by throwing them a painkiller and letting them die. The whole informercial was a disgrace and a sham and occasionally a doctor asked a really good question that Obama never answered and merely used as an opportunity to deliver a prepared statement. But since most Americans were stupid enough to elect Obama, they will probably go along with the destruction of our healtcare system.)

AlGore is rushing to Capital Hill for a last minute pitch for the American people to buy his global warming snake-oil cure all. The House is currently considering rushing through a comprehensive energy bill that would do for the industrial economy what socialist medicine would do for our healthcare system: Put it on life support.
Just like the $800 billion dollar non-stimulus package flew through with no time for debate, let alone reading the damn thing, "Stretch" Pelosi seeks to ram through the the global warming bill, which would effectively "gore" the economy like a stuck pig. As Representative Eric Cantor put it, "There is no question that the cap and trade bill will cost millions of jobs."
And just like the "stimulus" bill, the text of the proposed legislation and the price-tag keep ballooning:
The [Sunlight Foundation] points out that while the bill, formally called the American Clean Energy and Security Act, was 946 pages long last week, it has ballooned to 1,201 pages in recent days with little explanation for how or why. The group is supporting a bill introduced last week that would require the House to post all non-emergency legislation online 72 hours before debate begins.
Here is an interesting and amusing look at the evil Zionist conspiracy to infiltrate every aspect of our lives. I found the music, in the first minute of the video, too loud and distracting but once it stops, it is well worth your time.
Sarkozy: France 'Cannot Accept' Burqas

PARIS —
President Nicolas Sarkozy said the Muslim burqa would not be welcome in
France, calling the full-body religious gown a sign of the "debasement"
of women. In the first presidential address to parliament in 136 years, Sarkozy
faced critics who fear the burqa issue could stigmatize France's
Muslims and said he supported banning the garment from being worn in
public. "In our country, we cannot accept
that women be prisoners behind a screen, cut off from all social life,
deprived of all identity," Sarkozy said to extended applause at the
Chateau of Versailles, southwest of Paris. "The
burqa is not a religious sign, it's a sign of subservience, a sign of
debasement — I want to say it solemnly," he said. "It will not be
welcome on the territory of the French Republic." Dozens
of legislators have called for creating a commission to study a
possible ban in France, where there is a small but growing trend of
wearing the full-body garment despite a 2004 law forbidding it from
being worn in public schools. France has
Western Europe's largest Muslim population, an estimated 5 million
people, and the 2004 law sparked fierce debate both at home and abroad. (Of course, according to our genius president, standing up for Muslim women is making sure they are allowed to wear a hijab in the U.S. Such courage, Obama!)
An Iranian student protester in Tehran made a passionate plea for help from the world community this morning in a phone call to CNN’s “American Morning.”
For safety reasons, CNN can only identify the student by his first name, Mohammad. He’s been a part of the protests and a target of the violence there. Below is an edited transcript of the interview.
John Roberts: What is the scene like on the streets? Are there more demonstrators out there on the streets? Or is it much quieter than it has been in recent days?
Mohammad: Hello. Actually I participated in Saturday’s demonstrations in parts of Tehran. What I saw, I saw thousands of security officers that tried to break up the crowd. They used canisters and batons and water cannons against us. They attacked us. And we also in response attacked them. We attacked them by throwing stones. And we built trenches in the streets and actually defended too.
Roberts: So there was quite a large confrontation going on there over the weekend. But can you tell us what the scene is like on the streets today?
Mohammad: Today was a long day in Tehran. And yesterday there weren’t any organized rallies in Tehran. Because we take orders from our leader Mr. Karroubi and Mr. Mir Hossein Moussavi. The connections, the communication is very difficult, more than even you can imagine in Tehran. But I myself haven’t received any orders from our leaders yet. But as soon as I get any order, I will participate in any demonstration that they tell us.
Kiran Chetry: When you say receiving orders, tell us how the protests are organized. How are you guys called to go and where?
Mohammad: Actually, I’m a regular person. I’m not behind the scenes. I cannot tell you exactly how these demonstrations are organized. But as I know, as people said, there is a council, a group of Iranian reformists who organize these demonstrations and they tell us in any way that they could and we just follow.
Chetry: Do you get it on your cell phone, text messages, are you able to use the internet?
Mohammad: Actually, they reduce the internet speed. We have severe problems with the messenger software and every software like messengers. This is arranged by making calls, messages, calls to his friends or her friends and try to gather as much to tell as he or she can.
Roberts: Mohammad, we have been talking this morning about what the students are fighting for and whether the students are fighting for something different than the older more established political candidates like Moussavi. Are the students seeking regime change? Are they looking to bring down the Ayatollah and completely change the form of government there in Iran? Or are you looking for – as has been suggested – more civil rights, more freedoms within the context of the existing regime?
Mohammad: Yes. Let me tell you something. For about three decades our nation has been humiliated and insulted by this regime. Now Iranians are united again one more time after 1979 Revolution. We are a peaceful nation. We don’t hate anybody. We want to be an active member of the international community. We don’t want to be isolated. Is this much of a demand for a country with more than 2,500 years of civilization? We don’t deny the Holocaust. We do accept Israel’s rights. And actually, we want — we want severe reform on this structure. This structure is not going to be tolerated by the majority of Iranians. We need severe reform, as much as possible.
Roberts: Interesting perspective this morning from Mohammad, a student demonstrator there in Tehran.
Mohammad: Excuse me, sir. I have a message for the international community. Would you please let me tell it?
Roberts: Yes, go ahead.
Mohammad: Americans, European Union, international community, this government is not definitely — is definitely not elected by the majority of Iranians. So it’s illegal. Do not recognize it. Stop trading with them. Impose much more sanctions against them. My message…to the international community, especially I’m addressing President Obama directly – how can a government that doesn’t recognize its people’s rights and represses them brutally and mercilessly have nuclear activities? This government is a huge threat to global peace. Will a wise man give a sharp dagger to an insane person? We need your help international community. Don’t leave us alone.
Chetry: Mohammad, what do you think the international community should do besides sanctions?
Mohammad: Actually, this regime is really dependent on importing gasoline. More than 85% of Iran’s gasoline is imported from foreign countries. I think international communities must sanction exporting gasoline to Iran and that might shut down the government.
(This young protester has more courage than President Obama could dream of having. This Iranian student is risking his very life to speak up for change, real change, while Obama takes his kids out for ice cream, risking nothing, doing nothing. Obama is a coward. German Chancellor Merkel just joined Sarkozy in expressing support for the Iranian citizens saying, “Germany sides with those Iranians who want to exercise their right to freedom of expression and assembly." Are you listening, Obama or are you off to the golf course, again?"

I wanted to remind you all that Trader Joe's across the United States are due to be raided
on Saturday by supporters of the 'Palestinians' who are seeking to
prevent Israeli products from being sold by removing them from the
shelves.
Those of you who are in the US, please go to Trader Joe's and buy as many Israeli products as you can afford and use. If you're Jewish, please do it on Friday and not on Saturday. The following are Israeli products they stock; Dorot frozen crushed garlic, chopped cilantro and chopped basil, Pastures of Eden Feta cheese, Trader Joe's Israeli Couscous, and Trader Joe's Harvest Grains Blend.
And thanks to Trader Joe's for helping the Israeli economy by carrying Israeli products. Here is a link to trader Joe's contact page where you can send them a note thanking them for not giving in to this threat.

June 17: Former President George W. Bush speaks at the Manufacturers & Business Association's 104th annual event in Erie, Pa. (AP)
Former President George W. Bush fired a salvo at President Obama on Wednesday, asserting his administration's interrogation policies were within the law, declaring the private sector, not government, will fix the economy and rejecting the nationalization of health care, the Washington Times reported.
"I know it's going to be the private sector that leads this country out of the current economic times we're in," the former president said to applause in Erie, Pa. "You can spend your money better than the government can spend your money."
Repeatedly in his hourlong speech and question-and-answer session, Bush said he would not directly criticize the new president, who has moved to take over financial institutions and several large corporations, the paper reported. Several times, however, he took direct aim at Obama policies as he defended his own during eight years in office.
Continue reading at the Washington Times
"Government does not create wealth. The major role for the government is to create an environment where people take risks to expand the job rate in the United States," the Times quoted him as saying to huge cheers.
Bush weighed in on some of the most pressing issues of the day: the election in Iran, the closing of the Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba, and his administration's interrogation policies of terrorists held there and elsewhere. The former president has not commented on Obama's decision to ban "enhanced interrogation techniques" such as waterboarding, which the current president has called "off course" and "based on fear."
"The way I decided to address the problem was twofold: One, use every technique and tool within the law to bring terrorists to justice before they strike again," the newspaper quoted him as saying, adding that the country needs to remain on offense.
"I told you I'm not going to criticize my successor," Bush said. "I'll just tell you that there are people at Gitmo that will kill American people at a drop of a hat and I don't believe that - persuasion isn't going to work. Therapy isn't going to cause terrorists to change their mind."
(Don't say that to Obama; he thinks he can charm the hate right out of them!)
For years, you've been told about how illegal aliens are doing "the Work Americans Won't Do." You've been told that if we enforce the borders and send them home, lettuce will cost $10 a head.
Well, you're already paying far more than $10 a head, and you're not even getting the lettuce.
Figures from the Department of Public Social Services show that children of illegal aliens in Los Angeles County collected more than $21 million in welfare and more than $22 million in food stamps in March 2009 -- an increase of $1 million from the previous month, according to a news release from Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich.
Annually the cost of illegal immigration to Los Angeles County taxpayers exceeds one billion dollars, which includes $220 million for public safety, $400 million for healthcare, and $500 million in welfare and food stamps allocations, according to the news release.
Twenty-four percent of the county's total allotment of welfare and food stamp benefits goes directly to the children of illegal aliens born in the United States, according to Antonovich's statement.
"Illegal immigration continues to have a devastating impact on Los Angeles County taxpayers," Antonovich said in the statement. "The total cost for illegal immigrants to county taxpayers exceeds $1 billion a year - not including the millions of dollars for education."

French President Nicolas Sarkozy on Tuesday branded Iran's election result a fraud as the international outcry over the security forces' crackdown on the opposition in Tehran intensified.
Governments from Asia to Europe voiced concern about the violence that erupted Monday during rallies protesting the hardliner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's re-election, with US President Barack Obama saying he had "deep concerns" while also not wanting to meddle in Iran's affairs.
But while some governments tried to avoid taking sides, Sarkozy said the unrest was a direct result of Ahmadinejad's failings in his first term.
"The extent of the fraud is proportional to the violent reaction," said the French leader.
"It is a tragedy, but it is not negative to have a real opinion movement that tries to break its chains," Sarkozy said.
"If Ahmadinejad has really made progress since the last election and if he really represents two thirds of the electorate... why has this violence erupted?"
(Delicious! Sarkozy is spot-on. Not sure the French deserve him!)
And from the brilliant Reasonsjester at Point/Counterpoint...
There
are a number of recent events that are exposing Obama for the socialist
thug that he is. The latest and greatest of these is the elections
fraud in Iran.
Obama has uttered narry a negative word about the Ayatollah Khameini or the crazy little Persian Prez Aquavelvajad, or the abysmal human rights situation in Iran. Apparently he is upset that some women might have to wear headscarves against their choosing. I suppose we will talk about stoning women to death and female genital mutilation in 2012.
In fact, Obama is between a rock and a hard place. He really wants to help Aquavelvajad, who heads some of the largest oil reserves in the world, to get nuclear energy. (Huh?) Apparently all that talk about erasing Jews from the memory of the earth were just sweet nothings he was whispering in the ear of the Iranian people.
-INSANITY!......

On the night of June 24, the media and government become one, when ABC turns its programming over to President Obama and White House officials to push government run health care -- a move that has ignited an ethical firestorm.
Highlights on the agenda:
ABCNEWS anchor Charlie Gibson will deliver WORLD NEWS from the Blue Room of the White House.
The network plans a primetime special -- 'Prescription for America' -- originating from the East Room, exclude opposing voices on the debate.
Late Monday night, Republican National Committee Chief of Staff Ken McKay fired off a complaint to the head of ABCNEWS:
Dear Mr. Westin:
As the national debate on health care reform intensifies, I am deeply concerned and disappointed with ABC's astonishing decision to exclude opposing voices on this critical issue on June 24, 2009.Next Wednesday, ABC News will air a primetime health care reform “town hall” at the White House with President Barack Obama. In addition, according to an ABC News report, GOOD MORNING AMERICA, WORLD NEWS, NIGHTLINE and ABC’s web news “will all feature special programming on the president’s health care agenda.” This does not include the promotion, over the next 9 days, the president’s health care agenda will receive on ABC News programming.
Today, the Republican National Committee requested an opportunity to add our Party's views to those of the President's to ensure that all sides of the health care reform debate are presented. Our request was rejected. I believe that the President should have the ability to speak directly to the America people. However, I find it outrageous that ABC would prohibit our Party's opposing thoughts and ideas from this national debate, which affects millions of ABC viewers.
In the absence of opposition, I am concerned this event will become a glorified infomercial to promote the Democrat agenda. If that is the case, this primetime infomercial should be paid for out of the DNC coffers. President Obama does not hold a monopoly on health care reform ideas or on free airtime. The President has stated time and time again that he wants a bipartisan debate. Therefore, the Republican Party should be included in this primetime event, or the DNC should pay for your airtime.

Last year, millions of Americans came together for a great purpose.
Folks like you assembled a grassroots movement that shocked the
political establishment and changed the course of our nation. When
Washington insiders counted us out, we put it all on the line and
changed our democracy from the bottom up. But that's not why we did it.
The pundits told us it was impossible -- that the donations working
people could afford and the hours volunteers could give would never
loosen the vise grip of big money and powerful special interests. We
proved them wrong. But as important as that was, that's not why we did
it.
Today, spiraling health care costs are pushing our families and
businesses to the brink of ruin, while millions of Americans go without
the care they desperately need. Fixing this broken system will be
enormously difficult. But we can succeed. The chance to make
fundamental change like this in people's daily lives -- that is why we did it.
The campaign to pass real health care reform in 2009 is the biggest
test of our movement since the election. Once again, victory is far
from certain. Our opposition will be fierce, and they have been down
this road before. To prevail, we must once more build a coast-to-coast
operation ready to knock on doors, deploy volunteers, get out the
facts, and show the world how real change happens in America.
And just like before, I cannot do it without your support.
So I'm asking you to remember all that you gave over the last two years
to get us here -- all the time, resources, and faith you invested as a
down payment to earn us our place at this crossroads in history. All
that you've done has led up to this -- and whether or not our country
takes the next crucial step depends on what you do right now.
Please donate whatever you can afford to support the campaign for real health care reform in 2009.
It doesn't matter how much you can give, as long as you give what you
can. Millions of families on the brink are counting on us to do just
that. I know we can deliver.
Thank you, so much, for getting us this far. And thank you for standing up once again to take us the rest of the way.
Sincerely,
President Barack Obama

June 14: Los Angeles Lakers fans break the windshield and try to flip a police car while celebrating their team's victory in the NBA Finals.
LOS ANGELES — Hundreds celebrated in the streets outside Staples Center after the Los Angeles Lakers' NBA title win Sunday night, with some revelers damaging police cruisers, throwing rocks and bottles at officers and setting bonfires in the street, authorities said.
About 25 people were arrested, most part of a rowdy crowd that split off on to surrounding streets after police declared the gathering an unlawful assembly, officer Karen Rayner said.
Several police cruisers were damaged and reinforcement officers were called in from throughout the city to help disperse the crowd, Rayner said.
Los Angeles police said five officers were hit by debris and had minor injuries.
Aerial television footage showed people jumping on a police car, rocking vehicles attempting to pass through the crowd, setting small trees on fire and throwing fireworks and flares set up by police. No injuries were reported.
A gas station was looted and several cars, buses and a news van were vandalized, police said.
Chief William Bratton commended officers for showing restraint despite "a lot of provocation from a number of knuckleheads," he told KTTV-TV.
"It's not easy to stand there when cowards in the middle of the crowd are throwing rocks and bottles at them," Bratton said.
Police department strike teams pushed people from the immediate area around the Staples Center into surrounding neighborhoods, breaking the crowds into progressively smaller clusters, police spokeswoman Mary Grady said.
The department declared a citywide tactical alert, meaning all officers on duty were to remain on the job until the crowds dispersed, she said.
Unable to arm themselves…the citizens of Chicago are at the mercy of violent criminals
Violent crime in Chicago has rendered life in that city untenable. In 2008 alone, there were more than 500 murders in the city. 80 percent of those murders were committed with handguns, this despite the fact that Chicago has the most stringent gun control laws in the country. Of course, laws only apply to the law-abiding.
A tragic consequence of the free-fire zone which now exists in Chicago is murdered children. To date, 36 children aged 16 or younger have been murdered in that city during 2009 alone. In 2008, 35 Chicago children were slain, including 14 who were aged 9 or younger.
During a July 2008 bill signing
ceremony (which enacted another gun law), then Illinois Gov. Rod
Blagojevich reminded reporters of the sad fact that there had been a
child shot to death in Chicago, almost every day since June 26 (2008).
In fact, the streets of the Windy City had become so deadly that
Blagojevich considered sending in the Illinois National Guard, and
asking retired police officers to return to duty.
Blagojevich
said of his plans to use the National Guard: "It might be able to free
up some resources that the Chicago police uses for capital needs, to be
able, to maybe to, hire more police officers, or possibly ask some to
come out of retirement, to put them into these violent zones, hot
zones, where clearly, I think, part of the challenge is that gang
bangers outnumber police officers five to one."
The state of
Illinois has placed many obstacles between citizens and their
Constitutional right "to keep and bear arms." Illinois is one of only
two states in the country which does not allow concealed carry.
Incredibly, open carry of firearms is also illegal throughout the
state.
Illinois also requires residents to obtain a Firearm
Owner´s Identification card, in order to purchase ammunition as well as
a firearm.
Chicago municipal law dictates that all guns be
registered with the police. However, the city does not permit handguns
to be registered, which places a ban on handguns for lawful Chicago
residents. Additionally, the Chicago suburbs of Evanston, Highland
Park, Morton Grove, Oak Park, Wilmette, and Winnetka have all outlawed
the ownership of handguns.
Despite such harsh gun restrictions, there were 510 murders in Chicago during 2008. Since 1990, an astonishing 13, 961 people have been murdered in Chicago.
According to the annual crime report released by the Chicago Police Department, 167,427 major crimes were committed in the city last year (16, 427 robberies; 1,569 sexual assaults; 26, 036 burglaries; 3,930 weapons violations).
The unarmed citizens of Chicago are truly at the mercy of violent thugs. If allowed their Constitutional right to keep and bear arms, those horrendous aforementioned statistics would undoubtedly be much lower.
| David Gibson asks Why did the press ignore the firebombing of Sarah Palin’s church? in his Examiner (read the whole article here) column; then offers some possibilities. |
|
A quick internet search on the church fire will
yield some coverage on a few obscure websites, but beyond Fox News’
Greta Van Susteren’s coverage which lasted only a few days, there was
no major media attention given to the crime. So why would the press ignore the story? In my opinion, the following could be a few of the reasons: 2) Gov. Sarah Palin and her family have been the target of vile attacks from the mainstream media. Gov. Palin has been demonized by the press, and every attempt has been made to discredit her and humiliate her children. CBS‘s ‘Late Show’ host David Letterman recently went so far as to describe Gov. Palin as a “slutty flight attendant,” and even suggested that her 14-year-old daughter had been “knocked-up by Alex Rodriguez” during a Yankees game. 3) Perhaps, the most important reason why the press has chosen not to cover the story is that during the months after Palin was chosen as John McCain’s running mate, teams of Democratic Party operatives swarmed the Wasilla area in an attempt to uncover any dirt that could be used against the Governor. Could it be that a few of the more zealous Democrat operatives stayed-on and took their devotion to party a step further, and actually set the blaze?…Such a discovery would be disastrous to the left. Faced with this possibility the mainstream media may have decided not to explore the crime too deeply. |
If we are to believe the establishment media's packaging job, the Marxist community activist who tucks his shirt in to play basketball is not only qualified to lead the country, but is as able and cool as James Bond. But his MSM enablers forgot to accompany The Anointed One on this trip to the golf course: (Watch the whole thing; you're gonna love the ending!)
America is being dismantled by a dork.

Napolitano adds adviser with ties to terror backers
Swears in leader of Arab group that hailed jihadists as 'heroes'
Posted: June 07, 2009

JERUSALEM – Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano swore in to her official advisory council the head of an Arab American organization whose officials have labeled deadly anti-U.S. jihadists as "heroes" and opposed referring to Hamas as a terrorist organization.
The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, or ADC, also has close ties to anti-Israel professor Rashid Khalidi, whose association with President Obama – first exposed by WND – stirred controversy during last year's presidential campaign.
The ADC also leads the opposition to domestic anti-terrorism measures taken after the 9-11 attacks, such as watch lists, background check delays for visas and an initiative meant to more comprehensively screen visitors from select Mideast countries or specific individuals labeled as possible national security threats.
Last week, Napolitano swore in Damascus-born Kareem Shora, the ADC's national executive director, to a position on the Homeland Security Advisory Council, an outside-the-department group of national security experts that advises the secretary. Shora is the first Arab rights advocate on the panel.
At the ceremony in Albequrque, Shora reportedly recounted how he watched with his immigrant father Obama's address last week to the Muslim world. Shora said his father cried when he heard Obama's message of reconciliation. (Yeah, and I feel like crying every time I read what the Anti-Semite-in -Chief is doing to my beloved country)
Obama worked with terrorist
Senator helped fund organization that rejects 'racist' Israel's existence

 Sen. Barack Obama |
JERUSALEM – The board of a nonprofit organization on which
Sen. Barack Obama served as a paid director alongside a confessed
domestic terrorist granted funding to a controversial Arab group that
mourns the establishment of Israel as a "catastrophe" and supports
intense immigration reform, including providing drivers licenses and
education to illegal aliens.
The co-founder of the Arab group in question, Columbia University professor
Rashid Khalidi, also has held a fundraiser for Obama. Khalidi is a
harsh critic of Israel, has made statements supportive of Palestinian
terror and reportedly has worked on behalf of the Palestine Liberation
Organization while it was involved in anti-Western terrorism and was
labeled by the State Department as a terror group.
In 2001, the Woods
Fund, a Chicago-based nonprofit that describes itself as a group
helping the disadvantaged, provided a $40,000 grant to the Arab
American Action Network, or AAAN, for which Khalidi's wife, Mona, serves as president. The Fund provided a second grant to the AAAN for $35,000 in 2002.
Obama was a director of the Woods Fund board from 1999 to Dec. 11, 2002, according to the Fund's website. According to tax filings, Obama received compensation of $6,000 per year for his service in 1999 and 2000.
Obama
served on the Wood's Fund board alongside William C. Ayers, a member of
the Weathermen terrorist group which sought to overthrow of the U.S. government and took responsibility for bombing the U.S. Capitol in 1971.
Ayers,
who still serves on the Woods Fund board, contributed $200 to Obama's
senatorial campaign fund and has served on panels with Obama at
numerous public speaking engagements. Ayers admitted to involvement in
the bombings of U.S. governmental buildings in the 1970s. He is a
professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
The $40,000
grant from Obama's Woods Fund to the AAAN constituted about a fifth of
the Arab group's reported grants for 2001, according to tax filings
obtained by WND. The $35,000 Woods Fund grant in 2002 also constituted
about one-fifth of AAAN's reported grants for that year.
The
AAAN, headquartered in the heart of Chicago's Palestinian immigrant
community, describes itself as working to "empower Chicago-area Arab
immigrants and Arab Americans through the combined strategies of
community organizing, advocacy, education and social services,
leadership development, and forging productive relationships with other communities."
It
reportedly has worked on projects with the Illinois Coalition for
Immigrant and Refugee Rights, which supports open boarders and
education for illegal aliens.

"If we don't get it done this year, we're not going to get it done."
That's how President Obama -- briefing leading Organizing for America volunteers in our health care effort -- described our fight to pass real health care reform in 2009.
Then, yesterday, the President took the next step by writing congressional leaders to re-emphasize his principles for real health care reform, including his commitment to creating a public insurance option available to all.
Now it's up to us to show massive public support for the President's call -- and we have to move quickly. Can you add your name today?
Declare your support for the President's health care reform principles.
You can also listen to the President's call with leading Organizing for America volunteers. It was an incredible moment, and I'd like you to be a part of it.
This signature drive is so urgent because Congress is working as we speak to hammer out the details for health care reform.
What comes out of this process will make or break our one shot at real reform.
Washington (and the Obama administration) is swarming with insider lobbyists, and we have to show that regular people in every state and every district are paying attention.
So please add your name to show you support President Obama's call that any final reform plan must reduce costs, guarantee choice -- including the choice of a public insurance option -- and ensure quality health care for every American.
http://my.barackobama.com/
President Obama put it best on the call: "This is our big chance," he said, "to prove that the movement that started during the campaign isn't over -- we're just getting started." (Yeah, our big chance to do to health care what Obama's already done to the economy, our reputation, and our military; trash it!)
And that's exactly what we're going to do. (not if we can help it, douchebag!)
Thank you for standing with us again,
David Plouffe
Organizing for America
P.S. -- Please forward this note around to friends and family who want to listen to the President's briefing from Air Force One and then add their voice to our campaign. This is going to take all of us.
Hey Obama, this is how it's done...
Courtesy of the lovely Nuggen...
First, the good bits in Obama’s speech in Cairo.
He told the Palestinians unequivocally that violence was wrong.
He said that there was an unbreakable bond between America and Israel.
He told the Arab states firmly:
The Arab-Israeli conflict should no longer be used to distract the people of Arab nations from other problems. Instead, it must be a cause for action to help the Palestinian people develop the institutions that will sustain their state; to recognize Israel’s legitimacy; and to choose progress over a self-defeating focus on the past.
He condemned the persecution of non-Muslims in the Islamic world and urged equal rights for Muslim women.
He referred to Iran’s role since 1979 in acts of hostage-taking and violence against U.S. troops and civilians.
Now the bad bits – and they were really bad.
He revealed gross ignorance of the Jews’ unique claim to the land of Israel. He said that America’s unbreakable bond with Israel was based upon
the recognition that the aspiration for a Jewish homeland is rooted in a tragic history that cannot be denied. Around the world, the Jewish people were persecuted for centuries, and anti-Semitism in Europe culminated in an unprecedented Holocaust...
The Jews’ aspiration for their homeland does not derive from the Holocaust, nor their overall tragic history. It derives from Judaism itself, which is composed of the inseparable elements of the religion, the people and the land. Their unique claim upon the land rests upon the fact that the Jews are the only people for whom Israel was ever their nation, which it was for hundreds of years – centuries before the Arabs and Muslims came on the scene. As for antisemitism, he made no mention of the alliance between the Palestinians and the Nazis during the 1930s, and the fact that Nazi-style Jew-hatred continues to pour out of the Arab and Muslim world to this day.
Worse, Obama appeared to draw a subliminal equivalence between the Holocaust extermination camps and the Palestinian 'refugee' camps:
Tomorrow, I will visit Buchenwald, which was part of a network of camps where Jews were enslaved, tortured, shot and gassed to death by the Third Reich. Six million Jews were killed - more than the entire Jewish population of Israel today. Denying that fact is baseless, ignorant, and hateful. Threatening Israel with destruction - or repeating vile stereotypes about Jews - is deeply wrong, and only serves to evoke in the minds of Israelis this most painful of memories while preventing the peace that the people of this region deserve.
On the other hand, it is also undeniable that the Palestinian people - Muslims and Christians - have suffered in pursuit of a homeland. For more than 60 years they have endured the pain of dislocation. Many wait in refugee camps in the West Bank, Gaza, and neighboring lands for a life of peace and security that they have never been able to lead.
And with this awful and revealing linkage, he duly segued seamlessly into the distorted Arab and Muslim narrative of Israel's history. It is not undeniable that the Palestinians 'have suffered in pursuit of a homeland' because it is untrue. The Palestinians have been offered a homeland repeatedly – in 1936, 1947, 2000 and last year. They have repeatedly turned it down. The Arabs could have created it between 1948 and 1967, when the West Bank and Gaza were occupied by Jordan and Egypt. They chose not to do so. They could have created it after 1967, when Israel offered the land to them in return for peace with Israel. They refused the offer. The Palestinians have suffered because they have tried for six decades to destroy the Jews’ homeland.
For more than sixty years they have endured the pain of dislocation.
The ‘pain of dislocation’ was caused by the fact that six decades ago they went to war against the newly recreated Israel to destroy it, and were subsequently deliberately kept in ‘refugee’ camps by the Arab world. What other aggressors in the world are described as suffering ‘the pain of dislocation’ caused by their own aggression -- which has continued for sixty years without remission and shows no sign of ending?
Many wait in refugee camps in the West Bank, Gaza, and neighboring lands for a life of peace and security that they have never been able to lead.
There is one reason for that and one reason alone – the Palestinians have ensured that Israel has never lived in peace or security, because they have continued to attack it and murder its citizens. And Gaza? Doesn’t Obama realise the Israelis no longer occupy Gaza? It is run by Hamas, which shows its commitment to the peace and security of its inhabitants by throwing them off the tops of tall buildings.
Here's more from his apology speech:“I am a Christian, but my father came from a Kenyan family that includes generations of Muslims,” he said. “As a boy, I spent several years in Indonesia and heard the call of the azaan at the break of dawn and the fall of dusk. As a young man, I worked in Chicago communities where many found dignity and peace in their Muslim faith.”
The comments in what he called “the timeless city of Cairo” are by far the most extensive he has made about his Muslim roots. Obama added another personal note as he insisted on greater religious freedom throughout the world: “I saw it firsthand as a child in Indonesia, where devout Christians worshiped freely in an overwhelmingly Muslim country. That is the spirit we need today.”
Israel Matsav has the photo of the day.In a gesture to the Islamic world, Obama conceded at the beginning of his remarks that tension "has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims, and a Cold War in which Muslim-majority countries were often treated as proxies without regard to their own aspirations."
"And I consider it part of my responsibility as president of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear," said the president, who recalled hearing prayer calls of "azaan" at dawn and dusk while living in Indonesia as a boy.
Health-Care, Arab Style
The Middle East Media Research Institute describes the latest shocking depravity from the Arab World:
According to the Yemeni news website www.yemenportal.net, a library and conference hall named after Palestinian suicide bomber Wafa Idris have been inaugurated at a children's hospital in the province of Ibb in southern Yemen. The inauguration ceremony was attended by Yemeni officials, and launched by Samir Al-Kuntar, of the Palestinian Liberation Front, who carried out a deadly attack in Nahariyya in 1974, and was recently released from Israeli prison.
At the ceremony, speakers extolled the resistance and the perpetrators of suicide bombings, and little girls read out texts and poems.
Samir Al-Kuntar murdered two little girls and their father in 1979. Their mother, Smadar Haran Kaiser, survived, and Kuntar's name should never be mentioned without quoting Kaiser's description of the attack:
It had been a peaceful Sabbath day. My husband, Danny, and I had picnicked with our little girls, Einat, 4, and Yael, 2, on the beach not far from our home in Nahariya, a city on the northern coast of Israel, about six miles south of the Lebanese border.
Around midnight, we were asleep in our apartment when four terrorists, sent by Abu Abbas from Lebanon, landed in a rubber boat on the beach two blocks away. Gunfire and exploding grenades awakened us as the terrorists burst into our building. They had already killed a police officer.
As they charged up to the floor above ours, I opened the door to our apartment. In the moment before the hall light went off, they turned and saw me. As they moved on, our neighbor from the upper floor came running down the stairs. I grabbed her and pushed her inside our apartment and slammed the door.
Outside, we could hear the men storming about. Desperately, we sought to hide. Danny helped our neighbor climb into a crawl space above our bedroom; I went in behind her with Yael in my arms. Then Danny grabbed Einat and was dashing out the front door to take refuge in an underground shelter when the terrorists came crashing into our flat.
They held Danny and Einat while they searched for me and Yael, knowing there were more people in the apartment. I will never forget the joy and the hatred in their voices as they swaggered about hunting for us, firing their guns and throwing grenades. I knew that if Yael cried out, the terrorists would toss a grenade into the crawl space and we would be killed. So I kept my hand over her mouth, hoping she could breathe. As I lay there, I remembered my mother telling me how she had hidden from the Nazis during the Holocaust. "This is just like what happened to my mother," I thought.
As police began to arrive, the terrorists took Danny and Einat down to the beach. There, according to eyewitnesses, one of them shot Danny in front of Einat so that his death would be the last sight she would ever see. Then he smashed my little girl's skull in against a rock with his rifle butt. That terrorist was Samir Kuntar.
By the time we were rescued from the crawl space, hours later, Yael, too, was dead. In trying to save all our lives, I had smothered her.
Wafa Idris, as we noted in 2002, was a Palestinian Arab paramedic who entered Israel in an ambulance to carry out her attack. If this is the Arab world's approach to health care, perhaps it is fitting that Kuntar would turn up at the dedication for a "children's hospital."
(According to our president, we need to be accepting and understanding of these people. Obama is risking our entire existence with his naivete and recklessness. And most American Jews just yawn because they are getting their news from CNN, PMSNBC and The New York Times and have no idea the evil that awaits.)
In his first official visit to China since becoming Treasury Secretary, Mr Geithner told politicians and academics in Beijing that he still supports a strong US dollar, and insisted that the trillions of dollars of Chinese investments would not be unduly damaged by the economic crisis. Speaking at Peking University, Mr Geithner said: "Chinese assets are very safe."
The comment provoked loud laughter from the audience of students.
(LOUD laughter from the Chinese, nothing but yawns from American left.)
BUT THERE IS A LA RAZA LAW JOURNAL AT BERKELEY.
- Posted by Reliapundit
Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas on Saturday told reporters in Cairo that he is convinced that US President Barack Obama is firmly committed to finally ejecting the Jews from Judea and Samaria.
Abbas spoke to the press after briefing Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on his visit to the White House late last week, during which Obama apparently agreed with his guest that existing Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria must not even be allowed to experience “natural growth.”
“When the American administration talks about Israel's duty to stop the settlements - including natural growth - it is a very important step,” noted Abbas.
Following their meeting last Thursday, Obama said that he also told Abbas to make a bit more of an effort to halt what he described as isolated and sporadic anti-Jewish incitement in Palestinian schools, mosques and media. (WTF?!? Make a bit more of an effort? Wow! Such strong language! I do hope it didn't take too much out of Obama to be so harsh with this scumbag!) Documentation by Israeli and international watchdog groups shows that the incitement is far from isolated or sporadic.
Meanwhile, Israeli officials cited by Ha’aretzdecried the Obama Administration’s stiff demands that no more houses be built for Jews beyond the pre-1967 borders.
They noted that under former President George W. Bush, Israel reached understandings that the natural growth of existing towns would not subject to Israel’s commitments to halt settlement activity (commitments many Israelis see as null and void anyway since the Palestinians have failed to honor their reciprocal obligations).

Can you identify this gentleman? No? His name was Benjamin Cardozo. Ring a bell?
It was a home run because in her three-decade career as a prosecutor,
judge, private litigator and law professor, she has time and again
earned bipartisan praise as one of America's finest legal minds. And it
was the right choice because Judge Sotomayor -- herself born and raised
in a South Bronx housing project -- has summed up the American dream in
her own incredible story and never once forgotten how the law affects
our daily lives.
Now her historic nomination goes to the Senate. I know that process
well, and I can tell you that the debate of the coming weeks and months
will be shaped by the public response in the next few hours and days.
It's critical that the Senate and the public clearly see where the
American people stand.
Will
you add your name to the growing list of Americans who are pledging to
"Stand with Sotomayor" today? Your name and comments will become part
of a public display of support at this crucial time.
I've followed Judge Sotomayor's remarkable journey for years. I voted
for her when President George H.W. Bush nominated her for the District
Court in 1992, and I was proud to vote for her again when President
Bill Clinton nominated her for the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in
1998.
Born to a Puerto Rican family, Sotomayor grew up in a public housing
project in the South Bronx. She was an avid reader from an early age,
and was first inspired to pursue a legal career by the Nancy Drew
mystery novels. Driven by her mother's belief in the power of education
and her own relentless work ethic, she excelled in school. She won a
scholarship to Princeton University, graduated summa cum laude, and then went on to attend Yale Law School where she served as an editor of the prestigious Yale Law Journal.
Like President Obama, Sotomayor passed up many more lucrative
opportunities after law school to put her degree to work for the public
good. She served as an Assistant District Attorney in New York,
tackling some of the hardest cases facing the city, including
robberies, assaults, murders, police brutality, and child pornography.
Her growing reputation for fearlessness and legal brilliance prompted
her first nomination to the federal bench, and she's only continued to
soar.
If confirmed, she would start with more federal judicial experience
than any Justice in a century, more overall judicial experience than
any Justice in 70 years, and replace David Souter as the only Justice
with firsthand experience as a trial judge. She has participated in
over 3,000 panel decisions and authored roughly 400 opinions, expertly
handling difficult issues of constitutional law, complicated procedural
matters, and lawsuits involving complex business organizations.
In her years on the bench, Judge Sotomayor has earned acclaim from
legal scholars and experts from both sides of the aisle for her
intellectual toughness, her probing oral questioning, and her ability
to issue decisions that hold both factual details and legal doctrines
in equal measure. And she's never failed to apply a steady,
common-sense analysis of how the law touches our daily lives.
Her story is incredible. Her qualifications are undeniable. And
her judgment will serve us all well on the highest court in the land.
Please join me in becoming a part of this historic moment for the Court
and our country. Add your name now to publicly show that you, too,
"Stand with Sotomayor." In these crucial early hours, let us leave no
doubt about the people's support for this extraordinary nominee.

Thank you,
Vice President Joe Biden

| Guess |
 |
| A Freeper, smith5460, decided to check the names of Chrysler dealerships being axed [not asked, axed] by Obama Motors, against campaign contributions, and you'll never ever guess in a million nanoseconds ... |
| Here
are a few examples of the campaign donations made by some of the
dealers who will close their doors shortly. I'm not anywhere close to
going through the entire list yet. The figures are only from the 2004,
2006, and 2008 Election cycles: (1) Michael E. Maroone Mr. Maroone has 6 dealerships in Fort Lauderdale, FL that will close. Since 2003, he has donated $12,700 to the RNC, $10,000 to the Florida Republican party, and $2,300 to Mitt Romney's Presidential campaign. (2) Vernon Buchanan Vernon Buchanan is a member of the U.S. House from Florida since 2007. One of his dealerships in Venice, FL will close. In the past 3 election cycles, Mr. Buchanan has given $50,000 to the RNC, $20,000 to the Florida Republican party, $4,000 to President Bush's campaign, and numerous amounts of money to other Republican candidates for Congress. (3) Larry Crain Mr. Crain's dealership in Little Rock will close. He has given $1,000 to President Bush, $1,000 to Marvin Parks (U.S. House cndidate in Arkansas), $2,300 to Mike Huckabee's Presidential campaign, and $2,300 to John McCain's Presidential run. (4) Thomas Ganley Mr. Ganley has 3 dealership that will close in Lakewood, Ohio. He has given $1,250 to Sen. Voinovich, $200 to Sen. Dewine, $7,750 to the National Auto Dealers Association, and $250 to Steven Latourette. (5) Ray Huffines Mr. Huffines will have a dealership in Denton, TX lose. He and his family are huge donors to the GOP. He has gave at least $1,000 each to Sen. Brownback ... and on and on ... |

Update!!!
More Hope and Change...
** Earlier it was reported that the Obama Administration may have targeted GOP donors in deciding which Chrysler dealerships would have to close their doors.
** Last night it was discovered that a Big Dem Donor Group was allowed to keep all 6 Chrysler dealerships open.... And, their local competitors were eliminated.
** The Auto Task Force, which includes Obama cabinet members, is reportedly calling the shots on which dealerships will close and stay open.
** The closings also tend to be in "Red" Counties where Obama lost.
** Even Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla) lost his Chrysler dealership in Florida and found out from a colleague on the House floor.
** Lithia Motor Group's owners gave $15,000 to two Democrat candidates and support nationalized healthcare. They will likely lose just two of 29 dealerships and gain 5 more.
** One report claims the odds that these Chrysler closings occurred without partisan bias are less than 1%.
Now this...
Automotive News is reporting that Chrysler is already looking to open new franchises after closing 789 dealerships.
Chrysler did more last week than thin the dealer ranks in clogged metro markets. Chrysler also took out some underperforming dealers, leaving some good smaller markets without any Chrysler stores.
Chrysler President Jim Press said the company will be back in those markets.
Chrysler has been managing its dealer count downward in overdealered metro markets, a program called Project Genesis.
Of course, several of the dealerships that were closed had owners who happened to donate to Republicans and a number of these businesses were profitable "5 Star" dealerships.
By the way... Here is a look at a few of the players on the Obama Auto Task Force who are calling the shots on the Chrysler dealership closings:
The task force, headed by investment banker Steven Rattner, is comprised of Cabinet members and Obama administration officials who have extensive backgrounds in finance. They include Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, Energy Secretary Steven Chu, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, Office of Management and Budget Director Peter Orszag and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson.
No wonder they're closing the GOP-linked dealerships.
Billionaire to New York: Screw you
Billionaire Tom Golisano, founder of Paychex, is leaving high-taxing, entrepreneur-undermining New York for Florida. He penned a kiss-off in the NYPost today:
Politicians like to talk about incentives — for businesses to relocate, for example, or to get folks to buy local. After reviewing the new budget, I have identified the most compelling incentive of all: a major tax break immediately available to all New Yorkers. To be eligible, you need do only one thing: move out of New York state.
Last week I spent 90 minutes doing a couple of simple things — registering to vote, changing my driver’s license, filling out a domicile certificate and signing a homestead certificate — in Florida. Combined with spending 184 days a year outside New York, these simple procedures will save me over $5 million in New York taxes annually.
By moving to Florida, I can spend that $5 million on worthy causes, like better hospitals, improving education or the Clinton Global Initiative. Or maybe I’ll continue to invest it in fighting the status quo in Albany. One thing’s certain: That money won’t continue to fund Albany’s bloated bureaucracy, corrupt politicians and regular special-interest handouts.
How did the state get to this point? By spending, spending and spending some more.
Going, going, going Galt. Who’s next?
