More bad news for the worst president in modern times. Hey! I guess this poll by a left-leaning polling firm, a very prominent one as well, is showing that the statement “worst president in modern history” isn’t really that far off the mark, nor is it merely rhetoric.
In a recent poll by Public Policy Polling, going up against 4 potential GOP nominee’s in a hypothetical 2012 match-up, Obama loses in three and ties in one. And who is he tied with? This will drive the left-wing loons even more batty than they already are… Sarah Palin. It’s 46 a piece.
This post may be recycled a bit, some of you may have read similar posts but since I’ve been on vacation for almost two weeks and pretty much out of the blogging loop, I’m going ahead with it because it is still pertinent, and still a big issue.
I don’t know how else to describe Obama and his administration other than radical, tone-deaf, out of touch, with a blatant disregard of the law and constitution. Tyranny in other words.
We all know by now the DOJ led by the bigot Eric Holder filed suit against Arizona, and we all know the government is going to lose. It’s a ridiculous, frivolous lawsuit that was put in to motion purely for political reasons. That should tell you something about this administration and this president that willingly places partisan politics ahead of the safety of its own citizens. They’ve lost the white vote, they’ve lost the independent vote, they’ve lost the Jewish vote, they’ve lost some Democrats, so now they are trying to buy the Hispanics, and the roughly 20 million illegal aliens that will show their appreciation for amnesty by voting Democrat. Meantime Americans are being killed, the drug cartels are running free and Phoenix is the kidnap capital of the civilized world. Screw our own people, I want absolute power! Though he didn’t say those words, remember what I always say, “Actions speak louder than words.”
Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, the longest-serving senator in American history, died Monday at the age of 92, a spokesman for the family said.
Byrd, a Democrat who served in the U.S. Senate since 1959, had been plagued by health problems in recent years and was confined to a wheelchair. He had skipped several votes in Congress in the past months.
Jesse Jacobs, a family spokesman, said Byrd died peacefully at about 3 a.m. at Inova Hospital in Fairfax, Va.
Fired, resigned, it's the same thing. Barack Obama wanted him gone, and gone he is. But the real question is why? "Oh come on man, it's for what he said in that Rolling Stone article. What are you? Stupid?" Really? Could you be specific? "Come on man, it's in Rolling Stone, everybody knows it." I know, that's what you keep telling me. I'm asking you to be specific. "I don't know man, I didn't read it. But it's in there. Everybody says so. It's all over the news and, you know, those dudes in the government, you know, Senators and congress guys and stuff, they all say it. And the president man, he says it too."
Oh, I see. You mean when he was kind of dismissive of Joe Biden? "Yeah man." Um, that was over a year ago and McChrystal was already held accountable and reprimanded for those statements. Yesterdays news. You must be talking about the reinforcements. When it was leaked that McChrystal wanted 40,000 additional troops at the minimum and Obama sat on his hands for months before making a decision. Embarrassing the president like that wasn't a good thing, so obviously you mean that incident. "Yeah man. You don't mess with the president like that." Well, McChrystal was summoned to the White House and held accountable for that as well. Almost a year ago. Yesterdays news again. "Well I don't know man. It's in Rolling Stone." No. Actually, it isn't.
I read the article in Rolling Stone and there were no disparaging quotes about the president by Gen. Stanley McChrystal. Not one. Some of his staff said some things and even what they said weren't as bad as the phony media and talking heads of the political world claimed. The point being Stanley McChrystal did not say "those things" in that Rolling Stone article. The real question should be, who wanted McChystal out and why?
I just knew it. I didn’t know when, but I knew it was coming. For the record, I was never in favor of or supportive of Harriet Miers nomination by President Bush to the SCOTUS. But it seems some high profile Republicans that still hold office were. They cited her being an outsider without prior judicial experience as a positive, but now that Obama nominated Elena Kagan, all of a sudden judicial experience matters. Let me see if I have this right. It was okay with the Bush nominee, but not the Obama nominee. Why some people would call that hypocritical.
You see, this is why I hate politicians. You either be consistent or get the hell out of D.C. Be true to yourself and don’t back down from your principles and beliefs just because your guy does something, or the other guy does something. This is why the majority of America despises congress.
I got the idea for this post from Mike Lillis of the Washington Independent and of all places, Media Matters. Oddly enough those two sources only cite Republican inconsistencies. What those two sources don’t tell you is the very same Democrats are for Elena Kagan for the exact same reasons they opposed Harriet Miers. Hypocrisy again. Are you as fed up with this crap as I am? From both sides. We have the opportunity to stop this crap in November. I suggest we do. It’s time for fresh blood in D.C., on both sides.
Patriot's Day is celebrated on the third Monday in April. It commemorates the Battle of Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts. Paul Revere rode 16 miles from Olde North Church in Boston to Lexington. The British arrived in Lexington in the early dawn of April 19, 1775. It was there that the Patriots or 'Minutemen' and British confronted each other on the green and "the shot heard round the world" was fired.
I wonder if there's any way to have a political discussion anymore. It all seems to be a game of "gotcha" and the meaning behind the gotcha phrase is sit down and shut up.
We'll use some of today's issues like spending. You bring that up and nine times out of ten you'll hear "what about Bush?" or "Bush started it." No disputing that fact, it is true, but justifying one wrong with another wrong, well... that's just wrong. Does it really matter who started it? The issue at hand is its gotten worse and unsustainable and it needs to be stopped and reversed. Pointing at the past isn't exactly living in today.
That mentality is what made the phrase "two wrongs don't make a right" popular. Or, "If you knew someone that jumped off the Empire State building, would you?" This is what we have become. A nation of people looking for the ultimate "gotcha." And while we're playing that juvenile game, our problems keep mounting with no substanative solutions, just sound bites.
Another hot button item is immigration. Speak out about illegal immigration and you're a racist. Wow! That's really small minded. I love the look on their faces when I tell them I'm an immigrant. That's right! Born in Canada, that makes me an immigrant. So I guess that also makes me racist against myself according to their logic.
Without fail the usual I'm racist towards Hispanics babble flows. I'm not the one that brings Hispanics in to the conversation, they are. So technically they are associating Hispanics in a negative stereotype. Wouldn't that make them the real racists? Of course it would.
And here we go again, around and around playing a fools game.
Ever notice how the progressives, leftists, Democrats, whatever you want to call them, they're all the same, have their own language? Their language is based on a smattering of excuses, minimalizations and explanations.
Take lie for example... as in purposely telling a falsehood. In their language its not a lie at all (unless its somebody they disagree with), it's "misspeaking" or "misspoke." What is it with the left and their dumbass made up words? A lie is a lie, it isn't "misspeaking." Can we stop with the BS already?
Health Reform? No way. It's socialized medicine. Economic Recovery Act? HA! It's just social spending, period. Immigration Reform? No, that's amnesty. Green Jobs, Green Economy, etc... Nope! It's welfare. By that I mean it's all government subsidies or mandates with regards to the "green" stuff. Climate Bill? Oh please! It's a massive energy tax.
Racist is any right of center person that is white. Tea Bagger, Astroturf and the like is anyone concerned with the constitution. A "Right" is an entitlement, and an Entitlement is a "Right." Partisan is any opposition to their authority. Bipartisan is only when the Right caves to the Left. Obstructionist is anyone from the Right that is successful in stalling or killing Leftist legislation, when the Left does it to the Right, it's called Heroic, Principled, and similar descriptives.
If anyone has any more, feel free to post them in the comments. This is what I came up with spur of the moment.
Seriously folks, she's a candidate for rubber room lock-up at the local nut hut. She's so far out there, she's unreachable. A certifiable loon. When you read this, you're either going to think to yourself, WTF? or you'll laugh your ass off. But in the end, we'll all agree. Polly is a whack job.
Polly (wanna cracker?) is a lawyer. I know what you're thinking, you've got to be pretty intelligent to be a lawyer, but on the other hand, have you seen some of the most ridiculous junk lawsuits these ambulance chasers bring before the courts? I rest my case about their intelligence quotient. A shining example of that is Polly (wanna cracker?) Higgins.
Just a wild guess. Since I'm not exactly the president's biggest fan, what are the odds that he actually read something little old me wrote? Do you think I'd be on his fecal list? I don't know about that, I'm not that influential, but I do know Barack Obama himself read some of my posts at 4:52 PM. Here, let me show you.
I have to admit, I was kind of awed, I mean its not everyday the President of the United States reads your blog, particularly when you're not exactly nice to him. That was cool, I have to admit. I just wonder how much longer my reputation is going to remain intact.
On the campaign trail Obama said he would bring 2 million new jobs to America. Since Obama’s policies took effect and this became his economy (from the stimulus bill forward), we have lost 4 million jobs. Now he only has to create the conditions for 6 million jobs within the next 2 and a half years. Good luck. Oh wait! I forgot about those 35 or 40 million jobs he “saved or created,” or is it more than that? Never mind about the unemployment rate or the record numbers that are unemployed (15 million plus), you gotta look at all those “saved and created” jobs, that’s really what counts. Just ask Barack, he’ll tell you!
Most people have been focused on the economy and job creation over the past year while Obama has been using that as cover to trample the constitution and socialize as much of the country as possible with no interest in the economy or jobs, just expanding big government. Extending unemployment benefits with the stroke of a pen, is hardly focusing on jobs. Sorry, that doesn’t count.
What was it? A couple of short weeks ago with Scott Brown’s election all of a sudden the usual suspects (Obama, Reid & Pelosi) decided that the economy and jobs really were the most important issues the country faced. How long did that last? 2, maybe 3 days, then its right back to ramming socialized medicine down our throats, and the economy has been put on the back burner. All I can say is, you get what you vote for.
AIG, RNC. What do you think these two illustrious entities have in common? How about this, extravagant vacations and parties using other people’s money!
Just last week, RNC officials touted a January fundraising haul of more than $10 million. But after hosting the sun-filled winter meeting in Hawaii, paying for the holiday party and taking care of other bills, the committee spent almost all of it. Consequently, the RNC added only $1 million to the committee’s $8.4 million in cash, the reports show…
RNC meal costs are among the categories that saw the biggest increases under Steele’s leadership. In Beverly Hills, Calif., the RNC spent $10,600 on food and lodging for a fundraiser featuring former Speaker Newt Gingrich at Spago, the flagship restaurant of the Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining Group. In total, the Wolfgang Puck enterprise has collected more than $94,000 from the RNC for catering services, compared with zero dollars in 2005.
I published this post on LML this morning. I thought it was so important, and so telling, that the word needed to be put out on every available source, so I'm cross posting it here.
“We are just five days away from fundamentally transforming America” (Barack Obama, Jan 15, 2009). Well, he didn’t lie. He told you the truth, and all throughout the campaign if you would have shed your “hate Bush” simple mindedness and listened to the guy, he told you exactly what he intended to do.
He’s a progressive. A Marxist leaning Socialist. “No he’s not, that damned Admiral is spewing neocon rightwing extremist lunacy and hatred.” Who’s got the last laugh now, huh, genius? Once again, “I told you so. I am right, and you are not, as usual.”
Scott Brown's victory was truly remarkable. A Republican taking "The Kennedy seat" even as the late Sen. Ted Kennedy's widow was campaigning on behalf of Martha Coakley. Amazing. This was indeed a referendum on Barack Obama's agenda.
Some have tried to say that this wasn't a referendum on Obama's policies, that's preposterous considering the staple of Browns campaign was, "I'm the 41st vote" (regarding health care) and the top priority of the Obama agenda is health care.
His campaign was against everything Obama. From cap and trade, to giving terrorists rights, to bailouts and bank takeovers, to swallowing up the auto industry, indeed, it very much was about the Obama agenda.
The Right successfully turned a local election national, that is the key to victory in November. Obama is now 0 for 5 (New Jersey, Virginia, Massachusetts, Copenhagen and the Olympics). Five reasons to smile.
Sure the Republicans have every right to savor and enjoy this victory, but in its wake I'm noticing something disturbing. Cockiness and gloating. Some of the right wing talking heads and a number of right wing websites and blogs are making the same mistakes the Democrats made only last year. That worries me.
The right should concentrate on getting their message out and heard, pointing out and emphasizing the clear differences with the Left, listen to and engage the people on a personal level. The gloating and cockiness will do nothing but drive the most important voting block in the country, the independents, away.
Global Cooling? Nope! That was a hoax. Can’t worry ourselves sick over that one (although I suspect it will make a comeback with the record worldwide cold over the last 4 years). Global Warming repackaged as Climate Change? Nope! Another hoax. What, oh what can we possibly have on a worldwide scale to worry about? We just have to have some crisis to keep the whacko’s happy. By jove, I’ve got it!
A star is primed to explode in a blast that could wipe out the Earth, according to American astronomers.
Wow! Now we really have to buy battery cars and build windmills, or else… doomsday!
Here we go again with the failed stimulus, big government spending spree. Remember a year ago we just had to have that stimulus passed immediately, the nation depended upon its passage or else the economy would collapse. It’s an emergency! Considering that the bulk of that 787 billion dollars has not been spent, it really says what most of us have been saying all along. There isn’t any emergency. Now this year, 2010, the bulk of that stimulus is going to be spent. Hmm… 2010. Hey! Isn’t this an election year? Wow! What a coincidence! You’re right, it’s no coincidence at all, just Democrats doing what they do best. Buying votes. Hopefully, their attempted purchase of votes will be non-existent, just like where this stimulus money went to create jobs.
Remember when the same thing happened under President Bush? The lame excuse of media in this country had that plastered on the front page for weeks, and that’s all the broadcast media led their news off with for what seemed like forever. All the Democrats and other assorted Leftists were howling about President Bush’s policies and how fuel was becoming unaffordable, and it was all Bush’s fault.
Those are just a few of the “Blame Bush” rantings of lunatics we were forced to endure over eight years. Well now the shoe is on the other foot. Over a dollar per gallon more for gas under Obama’s watch. Sorry Lefty, you can’t blame Bush on this one, although some on the twisted left most likely will try.
It might seem like ages ago that gas was $1.62 per gallon.
