Liar, Liar, Pants On Fire!

http://bobmccarty.com/2010/01/07/barack-obamas-promise-of-transparency-mia/

Here is just another example of the lack of transparency in the Obama administration. A San Francisco Chronicle reporter, Carla Marinucci, videoed protesters at the Democratic National Convention singing their request of "We paid our dues, where's our Change?", after which the White House communications office threatened retaliation and subsequently lied about the threat. Per the Chronicle: "White House communications office who told us they would remove our reporter, then threatened retaliation to Chronicle and Hearst reporters if we reported on the ban, and then recanted to say our reporter might not be removed after all."

I didn't realize transparency was only supposed to be used when it suited the President. Where's Joe Wilson when we need him?

Holy Thursday and Obama Traffic



 Holy Thursday is the day that Christ celebrated the Last Supper with His disciples, four days after His triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.

What better way to celebrate this day than to be stuck in another traffic jam caused by Obama's need for political donations. So what if traffic is so backed up you can't get to your place of worship. Obama needs re-election funds. Don't be offended though, Christians, lest you be called racists.

Obama Gridlocks Los Angeles for Fundraiser

President Obama brought Los Angeles to a stand still yesterday and today. Was there an emergency?

Was the State of the Union in danger? No, the Democratic party needed money so our tax dollars were used to fly and protect Obama on a fundraising junket to Los Angeles. Parents could not get home to their children, employees could not get to their jobs, all in the name of Democratic fundraising. See the following You Tube videos. Obama L.A. Gridlock P.1 Obama L.A. Gridlock P.2 Obama L.A. Gridlock P.3 

Streets remained blocked for hours -- even when Obama was inside TV producer John Wells' Hancock Park home at a fund-raiser. Here is a link to someone's blog who was trapped for 3 hours.

Just another example of a president who is out of touch with real people.

Obama says: "It Could Be Worse!"

Frankly, I can't figure out why our economy is not booming right now. I'm sure nothing gives the country a bigger warm fuzzy than hearing President Obama's dulcet tones telling voters every chance he gets that things would be a lot worse if not for the stimulus bill and other steps he took. At least the recession never became a depression, the president says. There are no better words that instill a feeling of confidence than "It could be worse!" Although, blaming the media for an Obama administration gaff is also a confidence builder. Let's just hope the media doesn't have access to the nuclear button. It will be a real pain for Obama to have to blame them for an errant nuclear strike from a bunker located deep underground.

Nobel "Consolation" Prize

I'm sure it is just a coincidence, but what better timing to soothe Obama's loss of his bid for the Olympics than receiving the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE!!!!! We really must be the laughing stock of the world. He takes office two weeks before the Feb. 1 deadline and he is nominated. Really people? Really?

As if the proof wasn't in the pudding when Gore won it, now it's proven. The Nobel Peace Prize is just a political tool. And in Gore and Obama's case, given to political tools. This is NOT a proud day for America.

Van Jones: Communist

I had just barely heard of Van Jones and now he is gone. What I had heard I couldn't believe until I heard him say it in his own words. But he is only a symptom of the bigger problem we face. What was President Obama thinking? There are a lot of us who believe Obama is leading this country closer and closer to socialism with every increase in government control. And placing a self-avowed communist in his administration only gives that belief more power. Some will poo-poo the fact that Van Jones was really just helping bring his people up from underneath the foot of whitey and not really a communist. And some will ask why we are prejudiced against communists.
I would tell you to ask all of those who gave their lives throughout the years fighting communism.

It's Not About His Blackness, People!

"Bias" and "prejudice" toward Obama is why people are against Obamacare according to Rep. Charles Rangel(D-Manhattan). That would be the same Rep. Charles Rangel who is a repeat offender tax cheat. You've got a lot of nerve Rep. Rangel. Those of us who are against Obamacare and Obama is not because of his race, you dim-wit. It is because of corrupt politicians in our government. Bush's Administration was accused of being full of crooks. Yet the TRANSPARENT Mr. Hope and Change filled or tried to fill his administration with his own set of crooks (Geithner, Killefer, Daschle, Kirk, Solis...). So there is no CHANGE, except in the names. I can only HOPE he doesn't finish the job that Bush started and bring our country completely to its knees.

Quality Adjusted Life Years and Sen. Kennedy

If Senator Ted Kennedy was under a health plan that Obama's Health-Rationer-in-Chief helped design, (I know, fat chance, right?) it is highly unlikely he would have received the "costly operation and painful follow-up treatments in the face of his own terminal diagnosis." Dr. Rahm Emanuel contributes to an article titled Principals for Allocation of Scarce Medical Interventions in the January 31, 2009 edition of The Lancet which states: "When implemented, the complete lives system produces a priority curve on which individuals aged between roughly 15 and 40 years get the most substantial chance, whereas the youngest and oldest people get chances that are attenuated." See the nice graph on this on p. 5 of the article. This allocation system is based on Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALY) which is also addressed in the article. Don't think this is ageism because it further states: "Unlike allocation by sex or race, allocation by age is not invidious discrimination; every person lives through different life stages rather than being a single age. Even if 25-year-olds receive priority over 65-year-olds, everyone who is 65 years now was previously 25 years."

While you are at it, check out this article in the New York Times titled Why We Must Ration Healthcare by Peter Singer, professor of Bioethics at Princeton University. Looks like Ted Kennedy would not have fared well with this fellow either.

So , all you old people, don't complain if you get less care, you apparently got yours when you were 25.

New FDA Chief Ex-Monsanto V.P.

Another excellent appointment by President Obama. You've got a Secretary of the Treasury who can't manage to pay his own taxes and a science czar who advocates extreme totalitarian measures to control the population including forced abortions and mass sterilization. So why not have someone in charge of the FDA with the sordid background of Michael Taylor. "Former Monsanto vice president Michael Taylor may be responsible for more food-related illness and death than anyone in history. Yet he has recently been appointed by Obama to be the U.S. food safety czar. It looks like we have yet another case of the fox guarding the hen house." states the Los Angeles Examiner.

Genetically Modified Food is a real danger to our health if you don't already know this. Watch this great video titled The Future of Food to get you started then check out the summary of Jeffrey M. Smith's book Seeds of Destruction for more information. You owe it to yourself and your family.

Yellow Journalism & Race Baiting at MSNBC

I believe if everyone carried guns, we would have a more polite society. I am pro-2nd ammendment. However, I would be the first one to say that carrying a gun like some folks are doing legally at the Arizona Townhall meetings is not the best of ideas. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should do it in certain circumstances. That doesn't excuse the biased hand-wringing in the MSNBC story. It was pure yellow journalism at best and race baiting at worst. Take a look at the video linked in Robert S. Siegel's post titled "MSNBC cries wolf on assault weapon racism" on his MindYourOwnDamnBusinessPolitics blog.

Before I even got a look at this bastardized video that MSNBC calls news, I saw plenty of pictures, full pictures showing a well-dress black man in shirt sleeves with an AK-15 slung over his shoulder . But look at their video, how they have zoomed in to just show the gun, then in another scene shots of white people. Contessa Brewer says how she is concerned about "racial overtones" in the fact that "here you have a man of color in the presidency and white people showing up with guns strapped to their waists or to their legs." Totally leaving out the fact that the man with the guns shown in THEIR video was BLACK! She should have said she was concerned to have a "man of color" in the presidency and a "man of color" showing up with a gun slung over his shoulder and one on his waist. Read this unbelievable post from page nine blogger Alan Korwin, The Uninvited Ombudsman, titled Special Report: Black Man with Gun Harms No One. The dirty truth comes out when he says "I mentioned to the local NBC-TV affiliate that the media seemed to be avoiding the fact that Chris, the well-known local libertarian with the rifle (and a sidearm), was black. “Well, we’re not supposed to mention race if it’s not a key part of the story.” My eyebrows shot up. “You have a black man with a gun! At a rally for the black president! That’s not relevant?” So she sheepishly admitted, with a chuckle, “Well, that would take away the whole redneck right-wing extremist thing.” This is known in “news” circles as objective reporting. There you have it folks. Inexcusable, untruthful, inflammatory broadcasting. Yellow journalism at it’s best. Thanks MSNBC.

The Reason for Uncivility at Town Hall Meetings

Open Letter to Congress:

Perhaps if the American people felt they were being listened to, unlike at this townhall meeting with Rep. Sheila Jackson who took a PHONE CALL while a woman told her story about her cancer treatment, we could have "calm debate" about the healthcare bill.

Perhaps if the American people didn't feel they were being lied to by an Obama delagate posing as a doctor in the audience like at this townhall meeting, we could have "calm debate" about the healthcare bill.

Americans are having townhall meetings like this because "calm debate" has gotten us nothing but a trillion dollar deficit, an un-stimulating stimulus, and a 1000+ page unread healthcare bill.

Inconvenient Debt

Watch Inconvenient Debt. This will blow your socks off folks and compel you to do some reading on the Federal Reserve.
Glenn Beck graphs out how much money is being printed, put in circulation and devaluing our money. Eye opening. Then watch the video I have listed over on the left regarding the Federal Reserve not being Federal or being a Reserve. It is no wonder we are in the situation we are in and it started way before Obama. Nixon took us off the gold standard and all the presidents since then have continued the scheme.

Happy Birthday, Mr. President

It's kind of ironic that those "birthers" have come up with another version of your birth certificate right before your birthday, isn't it? I'm sure it is a nuisance. My question is why put up with this irritation. You have been to Iraq for which you would/should have been issued a Diplomatic Passport which requires the following: "For applicants born in the United States, a certified birth certificate from the state vital statistics office in the state in which you were born is required. Hospital-issued certificates will not be accepted. We can not accept photocopies of a birth certificate that have been notarized or certified as a true copy unless this was performed by the State vital records office." That means you would have to have a certified birth certificate. Why not put that in the public record? I'll tell you why, oh crafty one. As your main man Rahm Emanuel said about not wasting a serious crisis, you have decided not to waste a distraction. Could this plan really discredit the entire Republican party because a few birthers meltdown in frustration? I guess we shall see.

The Joker or The Dunce?

"According to KTLA News, Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable President Earl Ofari Hutchinson is calling the depiction politically mean-spirited and dangerous."
Guess which one of these depictions he is talking about?

Earl Ofari Hutchinson is just the first of the many wailing cries to come from a group that thinks ridiculing George Bush by depicting him as a dunce is just peachy keen, but put a jokers smile on Barack Obama, well, now you've gone too far!

Look, neither one of these men, nor any other Democrat or Republican was the right choice for our Presidency.

Unfortunately, I did not "get" Ron Paul at first. What a waste that I didn't cast my vote for him. I came late to the party and didn't understand that Bush was not his own man but beholden to the bankers who, thanks to the Federal Reserve, are able to run this country into the ground for their own purposes. Now Obama has continued the trend.
