Air America......D..E..A..D A..I..R .

WELL WELL...It looks as if my week is turning into the best week EVAH!!

Air America is...no more. :

""The company, founded in 2004 and based in New York, strove to provide left-leaning commentary and call-in programs as an alternative to such popular conservative radio talkers as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Michael Savage.

It was troubled almost from the start. The company had difficulty lining up affiliates and attracting a sizable audience. It filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy-court protection just 30 months after its inception and was resold to an investor group in early 2007 for $4.25 million.

Charlie Kireker, one of Air America’s principal owners and its chairman, said in a memo to employees Thursday that the company was done in by “a perfect storm” of plunging ad revenues, intense competition, high debt and poor prospects for new financing. A search for new investors, he said, has been fruitless. The company declined further comment.""

Now while a part of me is in a sort of gloat mode, A part of me wishes that they hadn't gone under. Why? Because the more things out there the better. The better for people being employed!
The problem "air america" has is the same problem that the liberal mindset had in Massachusetts and really across the country. And that is a revulsion to that liberal mindset. A revulsion to liberal philosophy. To liberal 'values' across the board !
In short "Air America" failed for the same reason liberal philosophy fails.....It just plain sucks.

Union votes for Brown! Well..the MEMBERS do anyway !

YUMMY!!



By: Michael Whitney Friday January 22, 2010 11:34 am

""A post-election poll by the AFL-CIO shows that more Massachusetts union members voted for Republican Scott Brown than Democrat Martha Coakley in what the labor federation dubs a “working class revolt.” Union voters, concluded the AFL-CIO, are dissatisfied at the slow pace of change and perceive Obama and Congress as doing too little to help the middle class.

Republican Scott Brown’s victory in the Massachusetts Senate race was lifted by strong support from union households, in a sign of trouble for President Barack Obama and Democrats who are counting on union support in the 2010 midterm elections.

A poll conducted on behalf of the AFL-CIO found that 49% of Massachusetts union households supported Mr. Brown in Tuesday’s voting, while 46% supported Democrat Martha Coakley. The poll conducted by Hart Research Associates surveyed 810 voters.""


:D

A caveat....

When I say in my last post:

"RIP OBAMACARE"....That assumes that democrats are wise and finally hear what the people are saying.

Thats a big "IF". Democrats are anything but wise. If they find someway to cram it through..which is doubtful, But if they do....Look out. Thats when you'll see a huge uprising of disgust and anger.
The dummies find themselves in a very very tuff spot.

And ole' Handel is a'luvin it.

Comin soon..."The politix of FACEBOOK."

obama...exactly one year in.

Well.....here we be. One year in. Lets take a looksie at where we 'the people' are.
It was just one year to the day that obama, (also known as "the one", "the Messiah", or "the black JFK")...stood and took his oath of office. Inauguration day.
Throngs were present to welcome in the new president. The one that they placed all their hopes on. Enchanted by the message of "hope". Beguiled by the notion of "change". Hypnotized by the phrase "yes we can".
Enchanted and Giddy at their own obvious sophistication of voting for the 'first black president'....

One problem.

None..NONE of those things mean a damn thing.
Because when you come down to it, They are nothing more than slogans, and being black doesn't mean ones escapes being an incompetent. (just ask jesse!)
In short...people voted for a nothing BASED on NOTHING.
Thus is the danger of voting with little more than emotion and absolutely no intellect.

But lets not get too far ahead of ourselves. Lets look back at the year that was, shall we?
Here are just a few tidbits:

-In Feb 2009, Obama and the dems passed an 800 BILLION "stimulus" bill. NO republicans supported it and voted against it.
The dems said that "It MUST be passed. It will stave off unemployment at 8%!! To NOT pass it would be a catastrophe"
The republicans said that 'the bill is NOT a stimulus, and that there is nothing in it to stimulate the economy. In fact that it was so pork laden that it would have the opposite effect'.

The result: (of course) a 800 billion pork bill loaded with massive spending resulting in a spike of unemployment to 10.2%
10.2%..........
The dems now claim that it "worked". (wow..)

- A dangerous childlike view of the world that was insistent in coddling up to evil, to the extent of throwing out (in a very public way) the term "terrorist", "terrorism", and "war on terror" and replacing them with "suspected terrorist", and "man made disaster" in a misguided want to make nicey nice with them.
Therefore emboldening terrorists and despots like Chavez and Irans Ahmadinejad, and North Korea's Kim Jong-il, and Russia's Putin. Sending a clear signal to them that we are not to be taken seriously.
The result: Iran, and North Korea are rapidly progressing to having nuclear weapons and Putin and China's power is growing...while we are shrinking.

- Many supported the prez idea in the campaign that terrorists ( sorry..I mean "suspected terrorists") be given all the rights of a U.S citizen in U.S. courts..
The result?: A total collapse of interrogation, replaced by political correctness and a fear by our intelligence that they will be brought up on charges if they do any thing at all.
IN FACT...Due to our safeguards being totally lowered (or rather, non existent) A terrorist that should have been detected was allowed onto a flight and was close to detonating a bomb. The only thing that stopped the plane from exploding in mid air was the bombers incompetence. That's it.
Upon being taken into custody, the bomber was talking freely and giving information....until someone said "he needs a lawyer". Upon getting a lawyer...he stopped talking.
Robo? Isn't this what you and I were arguing about? Our NEW brilliant policy now is that we now have to give them Miranda rights. Congratulations on this absolutely brilliant concept.
Other tidbits of obama brilliance:

- KSM to be tried in US courts, giving Al Qaeda a huge propaganda platform, and also a very real possibility of getting off due to technicalities.
- Charges dropped against the USS Cole bomber.
- obama waits three months to make a decision to listen to his Generals and send needed troops.
- takeover of auto companies
- The democrats and the AIG bonuses.
- The ACORN Scandals
- The never ending stream of Extremists appointments like Van Jones and Cass R. Sunstein, Carol Browner and Anita Dunn (to name a few).
- A health care bill that no one wants due it bankrupting the country.
- A crippling deficit that continues to mount due to irresponsible spending and giveaways.
- An over reaching cram down of his idiotic policies by dem congress that the people DON'T want.
- The bribing of congress members, and back room deals with special interests.
- The closed door dealings with dem members when "TRANSPARENCY" was promised.

SO!! What and where does this leave us? Whats the result of these many many missteps and foul ups?

A drop for his poll numbers quicker than any other president in history. Across the board for him AND HIS POLICIES. (Health care, Economy, Terrorism, foreign policy, Etc Etc Etc!)
Dragging not only Him down but also the other democrats. Spurring on a rush of democrat resignations and leading him to go and stump for democrats like Corzine (jersy) Deeds (Virginia).....who ended up LOSING their seats to republicans. By no small margins.

Bringing us to last Tuesday..

The democrats went into utter chaos when it found itself in an actual horse race of a special election. Finding itself in danger of losing their filibuster proof 60 votes in the senate which enabled them to cram down 'obama care' and the rest of their agenda . UNCONTESTED.
HERE'S the yummy part.
The seat in question is none other than the seat that was held for many a year by .....TED KENNEDY.

MASSACHUSETTS !

Kennedy..The very guy who said that universal health care was his 'lifelong bottle'(woops I mean 'battle') , his 'life cause'!
A 'life cause' Now in jeopardy of being torpedoed by the loss of the seat...TO A REPUBLICAN!!
HOW DELISH IS THAT?!

The very notion was silly to lefty commentators, and laughed at roundly. But it got soo close that obama himself was sent to stump for the dem candidate.
So surely that would put her over the top...right?
Or would it be the same embarrassing (and losing) outcome of his stumping for the dem candidates in Jersey and Virginia?

OUTCOME and RESULT:
Meet the NEW Senator from Massachusetts: Republican Scott Brown.
RIP: 'Obama-care', 'Cap and Trade', etc.
"Teddy's seat" was lost. "Camelot" officially dead. And a 'blue state' went...BROWN. By five points!!

I said..on Inauguration day, January 20,2009-- one year to the day:

""Hold onto your hats folks! It's going to be a bumpy ride!! A wonderful, glorious bumpy ride...
Its astonishing how idiotic things have gotten. Now don't get me wrong. I say this with a big ole smile on my face. What we have here is..
After you strip away the branding.
After you take away the bling bling..
After you take away the facade...
After the illusion....

What you have is...Jimmy Carter.
Its my hope that obama would turn away from some of his silliness. Turn away from his carter influences..and would do great things.
Yet I doubt that he will. Dems are notorious for doing the same dumb things over and over and over again. My hope is that the country wont bleed itself too much due to this self inflicted wound.

As for me...I almost feel a little bad for obama. He has been put on such a pedestal, (partially of his own doing), that when the crash happens...which it almost certainly will (cuz no man can be ALL things to all men)...
The crash will be.....SPECTACULAR.""

http://countrstrike.blogspot.com/2009/01/happy-inauguaration-day.html

To all who voted for obama...To all who I fought and did battle with..
(Countsy? Robo?)
You may now bow to my brilliance. And you know what?
We're not even to the truly 'spectacular' part yet. But the loss of Massachusetts at the very end of his first year WAS pretty sweet.

>:)

Hey...'Countsy'?.. 'Robo'? ..'Scrblles' ?......

E........P........I........C

Even MORE POLLS

Quinnipiac Poll:

Obama OVERALL Approval :-------45%
Approval on Healthcare:------------ 35%

By a 47 – 40 percent margin, independent voters rate Obama’s first year in office as mainly a failure;

CBS POLL:
Obama approval -------46%

approval on Economy :-41%

Appoval on Healthcare:-36%
Dissaproval :--------------54%



Do you hear that large sucking sound? That would be obama.

Jack Cafferty on pelosi: "what a horrible woman."

Cafferty on pelosi's massive coppenhagen spending.
It's so juicy. But really...I kinda think that he's also pissed that he looks like such a jackass for thinking a democratic takeover of washington has proven to be what it is...A disaster. An appalling disaster.

AND NOW...For something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!

Time for some polls kids!

CNN POLL:



Approve: 47%
Disapprove: 48%

"Forty-eight percent of people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Tuesday say Obama’s presidency has been a failure so far, with 47 percent saying Obama has been a success. The poll’s January 12 release comes just 8 days before Obama marks one year in the White House."

• Economy – 44/54, his biggest deficit of the year
• Terrorism – 50/49, down a bit from 52/45 in August and not asked in October
• Health care – 40/59, by far the worst showing of his presidency
• Taxes – 44/53, down from 49/50 in October and 52/43 in September
• Federal budget deficit – 36/62

Unemployment: 45/54


Thud!!

And here's the kicker...we're not even to the bottom yet.

By The Numbers......So suck it!

LEADING DEMS ATTACKED BUSH WHEN MILLIONS OF JOBS WERE BEING CREATED …

In 2003, Over 87,000 Jobs Were Created. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/6/10)

• But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) Criticized 2003 Job Creation As “Far From Enough.” “The slight increase in jobs last month is wonderful news for 57,000 Americans. But the 2.1 million Americans who have been actively looking for work for more than two years … know that it is far from enough …” (Rep. Nancy Pelosi, “Pelosi: ‘Slight Jobs Increase Far From Enough -- We Must Do More to Create Jobs and Growth,’” Press Release, 10/3/03)

In 2004, Over 2 Million Jobs Were Created. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/6/10)

• But In 2004, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) Claimed Bush “Created A Climate … Where The Number of Jobs Is Not Growing.” “This President has created a climate in this country where the number of jobs is not growing. It did not have to be that way.” (Sen. Dick Durbin, Congressional Record, 10/08/04, p. S10764)

In 2005, Over 2.5 Million Jobs Were Created. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/6/10)

• But Pelosi Called 2005 Job Creation Numbers “Anemic.” “Today’s anemic jobs numbers confirm that President Bush has still failed to create a single new private-sector job since he became President.” (Rep. Nancy Pelosi, “Pelosi: ‘Today’s Anemic Jobs Numbers Confirm the Administration Has Failed to Create a Single New Private-Sector Job,’” Press Release, 6/3/05)

In 2006, Over 2.1 Million Jobs Were Created. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/6/10)

• But Pelosi Claimed Bush Policies “Favored The Privileged Few At The Expense Of America’s Working Families.” (Rep. Nancy Pelosi, “Democrats Will Restore the Economic Security of America’s Working Families,” Press Release, 9/22/06)

By 2007, 5.7 Million Jobs Had Been Created Under Bush. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/6/10)

• But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) Claimed Bush Had “Shameful History Of Losing American Jobs.” (Sen. Harry Reid, “Reid: As Unemployment Reaches Two-year High, American Jobs Are The Latest Casualty Of Bush’s Failed Economic Policies,” Press Release, 1/4/08)

THEN PROMISED THEIR $787 BILLION STIMULUS WOULD CREATE MILLIONS OF JOBS

In February, Obama Signed $787 Billion Stimulus Bill, Claiming It Would “Fix The Economy.” “President Obama on Tuesday signed the $787 billion stimulus package ... ‘We have begun the essential work of keeping the American dream alive in our time,’ Obama said, calling the legislation ‘the beginning of the end’ of what needed to be done to fix the economy.” (Michael A. Fletcher, “Obama Leaves D.C. To Sign Stimulus Bill,” The Washington Post, 2/18/09)

And Obama Pledged That Stimulus Would Create 3.5 Million Jobs By End Of 2010. “[W]hat makes this recovery plan so important is not just that it will create or save 3.5 million jobs over the next two years ...” (President Barack Obama, Remarks At The Signing Of The American Recovery And Reinvestment Act, Denver, CO, 2/17/09)

SO DEMS NEED TO CREATE 6.3 MILLION JOBS IN 2010 TO MEET THEIR OWN STANDARD, A LEVEL OF JOB GROWTH THAT HAS NEVER BEEN ACHIEVED

2.8 MILLION Jobs Lost Since Obama’s Signed His $787 Billion Stimulus In February 2009. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 12/10/09)

• Including 85,000 More Jobs Lost Last Month. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/8/09)

In Addition To 3.5 MILLION Jobs Obama Promised Would Be Created By His $787 Billion Stimulus By December 2010. (President Barack Obama, Remarks At The Signing Of The American Recovery And Reinvestment Act, Denver, CO, 2/17/09)

That Equals 6.3 MILLION Jobs Dems Need To Create This Year Alone To Declare Economic Success, A Level Of Job Growth That Has Never Been Achieved in American History. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/6/10)

CSPANS Brian Lamb.

Brian Lamb, on obamas cspan lies.
Are we really shocked.


I mean really?

Cafferty getting snippy about obamas 'cspan' lies.

Folks...when leftist nutter butters like cafferty are upset by this...you just gotta throw your hands up in the air....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

...And oh it WILL be. Starting with a take over of congress. Now THATS change I can believe in!

Happy NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Well helllo there!

Lets face it..I haven't been around all that much for the past few months.
Ahhh the holidays!
But really...has there been all that much to really talk about? I mean besides the overall disintegration of a great country?
There has been almost more than I could write about..the level of incompetency has been so staggering and so abundant that it's been almost impossible to keep up.

The latest coming from the oh so close Christmas disaster of the 'pantie bomber'...
The only thing stopping this guy was his own incompetency. Not only was it chilling to know how close this plane filled with people came to blowing up, but also chilling to hear obama's people (with obama signing off to the statements) saying that the 'system worked'.

Folks....we are in for some very dark days...because obama....well, he's not dropping the ball. He's forfeited the game.

I'll be back with many posts ..POSTS galore, in the new year.
(including being 'unfriended' on facebook by an old school mate. Over what? Having a different veiwpoint than his delicate and 'openminded' liberal mindset. Its a goody and I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Till then...HAPPY NEW YEAR! Celebrate it by smoking a stogey and eating a vegan!

MERRY CHRISTMAS !

Luke 2:8-14

“And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."

Palins book...blockbuster.

Sending the lefty nuts crazy no doubt.

Palins book sold 300,000 on the first day and by its first week is on its way to being a million seller. Already at 700,000.

Congrats to the lady!

Sometimes an article says it JUST perfectly..

Where Has the Thrill Gone?

The Harder They Fall?

"Who appointed over 40 ambassadors on the sole basis of campaign contributions, or has as many lobbyists in government as did any President in memory? And who releases touchy news—whether increased unemployment or trying Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in civil courts—on Friday nights, or wants his Democratically-controlled Congress to debate unpopular legislation on Saturday nights?

You see where this is going. Prophets fall harder than normal politicians. When you claim that seas recede and planets cool before your presence, and that Latin mottos, new presidential candidate seals, neo-classical victory trophies, and faux-Greek temple sets are the appropriate backdrops for Your speeches, then you raise the bar a bit high. Obama is not necessarily any more partisan than a Nixon or Reagan or Bush, only just as partisan—but when he claimed something quite different.

Add in the hope/change mantra, and a cadre of lackeys talking about tingling legs, his majesty Caesar, and apotheosis into a “god”, and our young Icarus was simply soaring too near the sun for his own fragile wax-feather wings. The problem is not just that Obama is proving Clinton-like in his Chicago hardball partisanship (cf. the trash-talk of Rahm Emanuel, Mao-admirer Anita Dunn, or the Truther Van Jones), but that his entire persona was fabricated on a touchy-feely “there is no red state, no blue state America.”

Despite Obama’s vows to restore science to its rightful place in government (I think that was his dig at George Bush’s opposition to human embryo, stem-cell research), we get superstition. Instead of the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ non-partisan, depressing unemployment figures, we are instead to rely on a new unproven notion of jobs “saved” and “created”, and in nonexistent, made-up congressional districts, listed, no less, on a government recovery.gov official website. War against reason?

Remember the “reset” button promises abroad? Do we have a safer, saner relationship with Putin? Is Iran closer to disarmament? North Korea quieter? Did George Mitchell transform the Middle East? Is the “good” war still good, the “bad” one still bad? Do the Brits feel the special relationship is stronger? Maybe Sarkozy is more impressed now with America, or are the Poles and Czechs?

And do Chavez, Castro, Ortega, Morales, Zelaya, and others in Latin America feel more pressure to be democratic or less? Is one third of the planet in India and China more comfortable with the messiah Obama or with the hated Bush?

At Home

And the future? Will the country look eagerly forward to cap-and-trade taxes? The new income tax rates? Will small businesses like the caps off FICA taxable income, and health care surcharges? Perhaps the people can get behind impending “comprehensive immigration reform” (in the way we are now for “comprehensive health care”), which will de-emphasize enforcement and emphasize amnesty?

As Obama’s popularity falls, expect his own partisanship to increase, and the Chicago brass knuckles to be more evident. Obama knows that he can hope and change only until he hits 35-40% approval ratings, and is rendered shouting to half-empty audience halls and a triangulating congress.

Full Steam Ahead

A final prognosis—or why Obama is in deep, deep trouble, since he won’t quit in his dream to transmogrify American into something like Belgium at best and Brazil at worse.

Millions of independents and swing voters went for Obama for five reasons: (1) they believed the media hype that Bush was the “worst” (fill in the blanks); (2) the sudden financial panic of September 2008 and the anger at Wall Street banditry and bail-outs; (3) Obama’s youth, charm, and oratory; (4) the feel-good novelty of voting in our first African-American president; (5) Obama’s centrist campaign message of paying down debt, working with allies, drilling, being tough against Al Qaeda, and being bipartisan.

It’s taken almost 11 months, but voters now know that propositions 1-5 are now refuted or irrelevant:

1) Bush is history. Like Truman, in time he will begin to look better not worse. More importantly, Bush’s sins that bothered voters— too much big government and big deficits—were simply trumped by Obama’s gargantuan deficits and federalization of health care, banking, and the auto industry. “Bush did it” doesn’t work any more. “Obama did it even more” is the new worry.

2) The panic that we would lose all our 401(k’s) and home equity has passed. What we are left with in its wake is a sinking feeling that badgering small business and the Chamber of Commerce, as if they are Goldman Sachs grandees, isn’t working. Raising income, payroll, and surcharge taxes at a time state, local, and sales taxes are surging, is, well, a good way to turn a recession into a depression—or at least a stagflating, weak recovery. Sometime around next March, “Bush’s did it” will transmogrify into Obama’s recession. Obama can’t run against the economy, but must fix it—or take the blame. His best hope is that the Republicans don’t run a demagogic figure such as he himself acted in 2007-8.

3) Obama’s smoothness is getting old. All of us can almost write the next Obama speech: a) “some” say/do, but “I” say/do… The bad straw man is set up, followed by the contrast of the annointed “I” and “me” ad nauseum. b) then comes the apology for the sins of the rest of us—mitigated somewhat by the election of , yes, Barack Obama, the first black President; c) third is the impossible: spending more on health care saves more; cap and trade massive taxes will result in economies; no more lobbyists means gads of them, Bush shredded the Constitution equates into I’m copying his anti-terror protocols; d) an end with hope and change ruffles and flourishes. Bottom line: the oratory is old and trite, given the lack of commensurate accomplishments.

4) On the matter of racial landmarks, some of the voters think, rightly or wrongly, that they did their thing, proving America is not racist by the fact of Obama’s election. Now? A lot of independents, however, won’t seem obligated to vote in 2010 or 2012, motivated by the same sense of liberal assuagement of guilt. This been there/done that feeling will be accentuated should Obama’s supporters continue to play the race card as his popularity dips as a result of a statist and neo-socialist agenda.

5) We know now that the campaign was a centrist deception. Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright make logical the presence of the Truther Van Jones and Anita Dunn (cf. her encomium to Mao). His most partisan Senate record presages his near suicidal effort to ram through statist health care, tax hikes, and partisan appointments, in addition to polarizing rhetoric. His campaign promises to meet with Ahmadinejad were not only met, but again trumped by serial apologies, selling out the Poles and Czechs and outreach to Chavez and Castro. In other words, the so-called right-wing nuts who tried to scare the hell out of voters are proving to be Nostradamuses of sorts.

All sorts of things can happen. Printing and borrowing can give us a brief, though unsustainable recovery around 2010. A war could break out. We could get hit big-time again as in 9/11.

That said, I think not merely the thrill is gone, but a righteous anger about an Obama trifecta— of serial apologies and bows abroad, massive borrowing and deficit spending, and government-take overs of private spheres of life—is swelling up in the electorate. I haven’t seen in my lifetime anything quite like it. And this furor of being had has the potential not just to take Obama down, but also his ideology and supporters along with him for a generation."

Obama's Asia field trip..a complete FAILURE.

In the midst of dithering on the wars and sending the troops needed and wanted by his commanders, as well as while the economy continues to crumble and unemployment continues to skyrocket...Obama decided to take a lil trip to Asia. Not entirelly sure of fwhat the reason was for the trip. Perhaps he was just getting tired of his NUMEROUS golf outings.

The concencus on the trip by world press....a complete waste of time, and acomplishing nothing other than to be a submissive bitch while bowing ( yes bowing again... ) to emporer Akihito.

Some pickings from assorted news writings:

TIMES OF LONDON:

"The real problem may be Obama’s friends — or rather, those among his formerly most enthusiastic supporters who are now having second thoughts.

The doubters are suddenly stretching across a broad section of the Democratic party’s natural constituency. They include black congressional leaders upset by the sluggish economy; women and Hispanics appalled by concessions made to Republicans on healthcare; anti-war liberals depressed by the debate over troops for Afghanistan; and growing numbers of blue-collar workers who are continuing to lose their jobs and homes.

Obama’s Asian adventure perceptibly increased the murmurings of dissent when he returned to Washington last week, having failed to wring any public concessions from China on any major issue."

NEW YORK TIMES:

"We were especially disappointed that China made no discernible move to join with the United States and other major powers in threatening tougher sanctions if Iran fails to make progress on curbing its nuclear weapons program. President Obama should have made clear in his private talks that the United States and Europe will act anyway if Beijing and Moscow block United Nations Security Council action.

It was also dispiriting that Mr. Obama agreed to allow China to limit his public appearances so markedly. Questions were not permitted at the so-called press conference with Mr. Hu, and his town hall meeting with future Chinese leaders in Shanghai not only had a Potemkin air, it was not even broadcast live in China. It’s obvious that the last thing Mr. Hu wanted was to get questions about issues like his brutal repression in Tibet and Xinjiang. That doesn’t explain Mr. Obama’s acquiescence in such restrictions.

Mr. Obama did not meet with Chinese liberals. In Shanghai, he spoke of the need for an uncensored Internet and universal rights for all people, including Chinese, and at the press conference he called for dialogue between Beijing and the Dalai Lama. He delayed a meeting with the Dalai Lama until after the China summit and should schedule it soon.

President Obama was elected in part because he promised a more cooperative and pragmatic leadership in world affairs. We support that. The measure of the success (or failure) of his approach won’t be known for months, and we hope it bears fruit. But the American president must always be willing to stand up to Beijing in defense of core American interests and values."

DER SPIEGEL:

"When he entered office, US President Barack Obama promised to inject US foreign policy with a new tone of respect and diplomacy. His recent trip to Asia, however, showed that it’s not working. A shift to Bush-style bluntness may be coming. …

Upon taking office, Obama said that he wanted to listen to the world, promising respect instead of arrogance. But Obama’s currency isn’t as strong as he had believed. Everyone wants respect, but hardly anyone is willing to pay for it. Interests, not emotions, dominate the world of realpolitik. The Asia trip revealed the limits of Washington’s new foreign policy: Although Obama did not lose face in China and Japan, he did appear to have lost some of his initial stature.

In Tokyo, the new center-left government even pulled out of its participation in a mission which saw the Japanese navy refueling US warships in the Indian Ocean as part of the Afghanistan campaign. In Beijing, Obama failed to achieve any important concessions whatsoever. There will be no binding commitments from China to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A revaluation of the Chinese currency, which is kept artificially weak, has been postponed. Sanctions against Iran? Not a chance. Nuclear disarmament? Not an issue for the Chinese.

The White House did not even stand up for itself when it came to the question of human rights in China. The president, who had said only a few days earlier that freedom of expression is a universal right, was coerced into attending a joint press conference with Chinese President Hu Jintao, at which questions were forbidden. Former US President George W. Bush had always managed to avoid such press conferences."

DAILY BEAST:

"President Obama’s nine-day trip to Asia is worth a look back to fix two potent problems, past and future. First, the trip’s limited value per day of presidential effort suggests a disturbing amateurishness in managing America’s power. On top of the inexcusably clumsy review of Afghan policy and the fumbling of Mideast negotiations, the message for Mr. Obama should be clear: He should stare hard at the skills of his foreign-policy team and, more so, at his own dominant role in decision-making. Something is awry somewhere, and he’s got to fix it. …

It was not good optics for Obama to bow to Japan’s emperor. He seems to do this stuff spontaneously and inexplicably, as with his bow to the Saudi King some months ago. And it was truly unfortunate that Obama and his aides didn’t flatly insist that he be allowed to address the Chinese people directly on television and meet with non-stacked Chinese groups—as has been the case during previous presidential visits. Beijing’s leaders obviously didn’t feel confident enough of their own standing at home to give the popular Mr. Obama such access. But he and his team should have made it a precondition of the visit. Its absence left an unhappy taste.

The White House might try to blame the State Department (such an easy and delicious target) for the missteps. But State’s role in the conceptual planning of the trip was not central, and the department’s senior Asia hand, Kurt Campbell, surely knew better. It’s also hard to tar the National Security Council’s own senior Asia expert, Jeff Bader, another pro like Campbell. Perhaps even higher officials at the NSC dropped the ball. Perhaps Mr. Obama might take responsibility himself, as President Kennedy did after the Bay of Pigs fiasco in 1961. Now, that would truly clear the air—and open the door to some obvious and necessary changes in the administration’s decision-making machinery. Every decision, large and small, is shaped and made by the president himself and enforced by Denis McDonough, a deputy NSC adviser and the administration’s Lord High Executioner. Does Obama get enough pushback? Is he hearing a range of views? Can he see that his powerful intellect might profit from bowing to the voices of experience? If Mr. Obama reflects on the Asia journey and other mishaps, he might loosen the reins and bring in additional policy and diplomatic pros as inside counselors or outside advisers."

But boy howdy! I hope he enjoyed the pic of himself at the great wall...I really do, since we all paid for it .

Rasmussen: ObamaCare approval new low 38%

with support for obamacare at a new low of 38%....days after Reid jammed down a party line vote to push it through for debate....We are looking at the democrats pretty much handing over congress and the white house.

What we have here is classic liberalism. The very essence of "you the typical american are a bunch of rubes who don't know whats good for you. WE will show you how to live your lives and make all the decisions for you. Whether you like it or not. Despite how much you scream about it."

Classic elitism. DESPITE the fact that none, NONE of their plan makes sense! But just the sheer want for their ridiculous world view to actually succeed (for once) even though absolutely NONE of it works on paper. Therefore they stoop to the very methods of the very wall street hucksters that they despise to calculate their numbers.

HOPING that its enough to get it by and after its a done deal...that is when they try to somehow make a square peg fit in a round hole. And the American Public that gets hurt (for generations) be damned .

With the 2010 elections not too far down the road, we have the beginnings to correct this 'feel good' experiment that so many of you were dumb enough to fall for. (robo, countsy, etc etc).
But it will come at a price I'm afraid. With unemployment at a 10.2% rise....(amazing).
and continuing pain and hardship for countless Americans....the midterms seem far far away. But they will be here, and when they do come....Don't make the same mistake you made the last time.
In other words...try thinking this time.


Rasmussen:

"Just 38% of voters now favor the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s the lowest level of support measured for the plan in nearly two dozen tracking polls conducted since June. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 56% now oppose the plan. Half the survey was conducted before the Senate voted late Saturday to begin debate on its version of the legislation. Support for the plan was slightly lower in the half of the survey conducted after the Senate vote.

Prior to this, support for the plan had never fallen below 41%. Last week, support for the plan was at 47%. Two weeks ago, the effort was supported by 45% of voters."

I can't tell which is more interesting to me.

Quinnipiac poll: OBAMA UNDER 50%

QUINNIPIAC


"President Barack Obama’s approval rating has fallen below 50 percent for the first time in polling by Quinnipiac University as U.S. voter discontent grows over the war in Afghanistan.

Obama’s job approval rating fell to 48 percent in the Nov. 9-16 survey of registered voters nationwide by the Hamden, Connecticut-based university, with 42 percent polled saying they disapproved of the job he is doing.

“In politics, symbols matter, and this is not a good symbol for the White House,” Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, said in a statement."

VETERANS DAY.

As we mourn for the 14 lost lives at Fort Hood, at the hands of a muslim extremest monster...we also celebrate their service....and thank God for them.

And pray for comfort for the ones they left behind.

And of course....for Justice.

AND NOW....for something completely different!

doesn't get any closer than this......SHEESH!

California smert people....

Now I ask you...being that this is in Calif...just who do you think the majority of these geniuses voted for? Hmmmmm I wonderrrrrrrr.

:D

UNEMPLOYMENT HITS 10.2 % !!!

For the first time...in 26 years, unemployment hit a double digit figure. More than 558,000 jobs lost in Oct. The rate jumping from 9.8 to a stunning 10.2%!!
via: "U.S. Dept of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics"

"The unemployment rate rose from 9.8 to 10.2 percent in October, and nonfarm payroll employment continued to decline (-190,000), the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The largest job losses over the month were in construction, manufacturing, and retail trade.

In October, the number of unemployed persons increased by 558,000 to 15.7 million. The unemployment rate rose by 0.4 percentage point to 10.2 percent, the highest rate since April 1983. Since the start of the recession in December 2007, the number of unemployed persons has risen by 8.2 million, and the unemployment rate has grown by 5.3 percentage points. "

http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm

VIA AP:
"But the loss of jobs last month exceeded economists’ estimates. It’s the 22nd straight month the U.S. economy has shed jobs, the longest on records dating back 70 years. Counting those who have settled for part-time jobs or stopped looking for work, the unemployment rate would be 17.5 percent, the highest on records dating from 1994."

Now remember my lovely little wankers..the mighty barack obama stimulus..you know..the one that was so pork laden? The one that was supposed to stave off unemployment at 8.0%. The one that unless passed IMMEDIATLY without delay, there would be disaster?
The same stimulus bill that no, NO republican voted for because they said it would neither help stave off job loss NOR help the economy due to its wasteful spending..

Well.....10 months after that was put into effect...we are now at 10.2% unemployment.

Now even with the elections of last tuesday where the people sent a clear message to all dems including webster prez...they stand ready to shove this obama care healthcare bill through.

If you go back and look at my posts..you'll see I was right all the way through. Hey Robo and countsy? You out there? (of course you are)

The dems are going to shoot themselves right in the big fat fanny...
That is IF the American public continue to wake up. And judging from the approval ratings for obama care....
It looks like that will be the case.

OOO BABY!

OK! Here we go-

Well there was an election the other day. Perhaps you've heard. Virginia DOWN THE LINE. Down the friggin line!
The governorship by a whopping 59 percent and democrat Deeds had paltry 41 percent.
18 points. That's called a blowout my friends.
Not only did they lose the Gov'shp, but they also lost five (possibly six) Virginia seats.
As well as:
Republican Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling also won a second term Tuesday, defeating Democrat Jody Wagner. And Republican state Sen. Ken Cuccinelli was the winner of the race for state attorney general, beating Democratic state Del. Steve Shannon.

SWEEEEEP!

In Jersey..that's NEW JERSEY..A place so blue that one would think impossible for a Repub to win there. A state that SO overwhelmingly voted for obama ,now...has turned over and voted for Republican Christie .

With a turning of the independents by OVERWHELMINGLY huge margins in Virginia AND jersey.
So what does that tell us?...It tells us that people by and large are so FREAKED by the exploding (and dangerously irresponsible) spending by the dems, that they are feeling the classic case of buyers remorse.
And are now feeling thier senses being RATTLED back! In JUST 11 MONTHS!!!

The dems..of course are trying their best to dismiss this as nothing more than 'local politics and local matters'.

That of course is laughable.
Either, the dems are total morons and really are ignorant to what has just happened and truely believe that it really is nothing at all....

OR......

the dems know full well what a dire thing this is and what it foretells and they are scared
$&#$T 'less.
amp;#$T 'less.
amp;#$T 'less.
amp;#$T 'less.

Either way, I love it! If they are so dumb as to believe this is nothing....then they will barrel forward and screw themselves.
If they DO know what has just happened.....then they are totally spooked, and the blue dogs are even MORESO, therefore leaving them utterly between a rock and a really really hardplace.

They are holding onto NY-23 as thier sole reason for living.
San fran nan is saying that due to that..that the dems look at the night as a "Dems win".
Well....it should be noted as that the last minute repub candidate for that seat was indeed a no name person who ran and he only lost by JUST a smidge!
IN NEW YORK!!!!
A no name!!! A last minute NO NAME! HAHAAAAA!

Oh folks...what we have here, is what you call the choppy waters right before the Niagra Falls drop.
If you don't believe me.....all you have to do is go back and check out 1994.

The dems are making their own noose...and their making it really really tight.
The least we can do is supply the ladder.

NOVEMBER 3, 2009.

And so it begins.......

>:D

You know our valiant president obama? He's kind of a little bitch isnt he?

Our fearless webster president to no ones surprise has turned out to be a bit of a little bitch. It's true.

"The problem with obama has never been the color of his skin, but the thickness of it."

That's the crit on obama and he's proving his critics right over and over and over again.
The recent much publicized war with Fox News because he doesn't like that they aren't rolling over like every other 'news' network to his every word, has shown lil webster to be a very petty and small little puss of a man.

Getting himself an 'enemies list' on anyone that does not have that 'tingle running down his leg', such as Fox News who has the 'audacity' to (GASP) actually REPORT on news stories such as his EXTREME 'czar' appointments such as Van Jones, ACCORN scandals, his string of broken promises, his lack of transparency, his massive deficits that he's racking up. His EXTREME spending. The 10% unemployment (which was to have been curbed at 8% with his ridiculous pork laden 800 billion+ 'stimulous' program of which every republican RIGHTLY declined to vote for)...the list goes on and on.

Part of the reason that he has warned other networks to "not follow Fox's lead" is because he (and he admits this) wants to 'marginalize his critics'.
He needs to really do this because he has something coming up which he doesn't want people to remember. Which is his "I wont raise taxes".
Which he will most definitely HAVE TO. And he wants no one to remember this and most of all, no one to REPORT IT.

Obama isn't used to people not climbing into his anus. It hurts his feelings, and he pouts and stomps his foot about it.
The problem is...by warning in the most condescending way...the other networks to not follow foxs lead, puts the others which ARE ALL TRAILING fox in ratings-- in a very bad position.
It in some ways does what the nobel prize does..it UNDERLINES the very incompetence of obama AND the media.
"Do what I say. Do what I tell you to do media. Report what I deem reportable."

So they (the media) are now in a spot where they either have to look like they are lap dogs for obama (which they are). OR they will feel like they now HAVE to actually do some (GASP AGAIN) actual reporting.

The latest embarrassment came this past week as the obama admin tried to leave Fox News out of the pool interview of the pay czar. The other networks voted to not interview him at all if Fox was left out. The white house, with tail tucked between its Ba-gina.... relented.

As if they ever had a choice in the matter.

Obama, is coming off as what he is. With a decline steeper and faster than any president in history....He is showing what he is.

A spoiled little sissy. An efeminite elitist little bitch, with his own mean girl 'enemies list'.

>:)

(and I love it. Bring on 2010.)

Prelude to obamacare.

In Oakland County, Michigan, the vaccination wait was 5-7 hours. Prelude to what we should expect from obamacare. Laughable.

From the people who brought us the swine flu vaccine shortage - Government-run health care! UPDATED

By: Mark Tapscott
Editorial Page Editor
10/24/09 12:25 PM EDT

President Obama's late-night declaration of a nationwide public health emergency last night shouldn't be allowed to obscure the most important lesson of the developing swine flu crisis - The same government that only weeks ago promised abundant supplies of swine flu vaccine by mid-October will be running your health care system under Obamacare.

On Sept. 13, Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services, told ABC's This Week program that the government was on schedule to deliver an "ample supply" of swine flu vaccine by mid-October:

"We're on track to have an ample supply rolling by the middle of October. But we may have some early vaccine as early as the first full week in October. We'll get the vaccine out the door as fast as it rolls off the production line."

But here we are five weeks later and news reports are coming in from across the nation of long waiting lines of people wanting the shot, but being turned away because of grossly inadequate supplies. The typical explanation from public health offiials is that the swine flu vaccine requires more time to be cultivated than seasonal flu vaccine.

That's no doubt true, but did federal public health officials just discover that fact? These are the same government officials who will be in charge of your health care under the government-run health care system being sought by Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress.

And the president's declaration contains this statement that is rich with irony in the context of the debate on health care reform: "The foundation of our national approach to the H1N1 flu has been preparedness at all levels -- personal, business, and government -- and this proclamation helps that effort by advancing our overall response capability," according to Fox News.

The declaration will allow waiving of federal regulations on a case-by-case basis. But how will we waive an entire government-run health care system?

Here's something else to think about: How will Obama and congressional Democrats seek to take advantage of this public health crisis? This is, after all, the administration that never lets a good crisis go to waste, right?

obama administration...The Gang that couldn't shoot straight.

And is it any wonder why?

:D

Doin' a bang up job there 'Webster-obama'

Fox News Poll: 43% would vote to reelect Obama.

Harris Poll: obama approval 45%
(losing support across the board in all age groups)

Rasmussen Poll: Obama-care- 42% in favor 54% are opposed

And now...for something completely different. Godly Panties !

:D

Too good. And too true. HAH! (lyrics included)

LYRICS:

I heard it today, Barack got a prize
Seams theyre dishin peace, prizes left and right
If you wanna prize, you can do it to
Theres just a few things, that you gotta do

Im mowing the lawn
You get a peace prize
Doing the laundry
Thats a peace prize
Im grooming my dog
Peace prize
He seems to like it
Thats a peace prize
You, get a peace prize
He, gets a peace prize
I, get a peace prize
Everybody, gets a peace prize


They gave a peace prize, to our president
Hed only been prez, for two weeks by then
The same time he takes, to dust his smokes
Some people call this, nobel prize a joke
But remember yall, Big O gives us hope
More hope for all man, even for the pope
This award aint for, anything he did
But for things he promises that he will
The first man to win, a peace prize for hope
Bankrupt America, The man is dope
Obama wants change, see it in his eyes
If you do to, youve earned yourself a prize


Im in the hot tub
Peace prize
Im doing some dips
Peace prize
Showing potential
Peace prize
Being a black guy
Gets a peace prize
Im making a sandwich
Thats a peace prize
Shes eating the sandwich
Peace prize
Its delicious
Heres a peace prize
Uh, yeah peace prize


The Nobel prize, aint given to fools
The whole committee, Went to greater schools
They thought Barack, Was Nobel worthy
they decided to, look at his story
He was voted to, be our president
Then they closed the books, The man is in
His namell go down, with other cool cats
Al Gore, Carter, Yasser Araffat
The prize aint always given to the best
Its got to be, politically correct
Thats why its not, everybody wins
For what not to do, Take a look at him


Liberate Iraq
You get no peace prize
Curb AIDS in Africa
No peace prize
Your last name is Bush
You get no peace prize
Ha, no peace prize
Obama, gets a peace prize
Automatic, Peace Prize
Huh, peace prize
Everybody, peace prize

Reich argues for the public option against.... himself.

The second clip (below) is audio with Reich being more honest when speaking to an audience at UC Berkeley.

Ahhhhh the left. Intellectually dishonest, morally bankrupt, and overall void of any soul.

He says at the end of the first clip to send your friends a copy of that video. I say send both of these and let the viewer decide for themselves...WHICH is the truth.

Prepare for High tax and low quality..

IF this goes through.....
The next question will be how long will it take for the Republicans to undo the damage?
With dunces like 'robo' and 'countsy' out there clutching there 'blankies' and suckin they're thumbs with they're silly (yet sweet) childish ways of thinking...it's no wonder we find our selves in the mess that we are in.

It is true that elections have consequences. And its the people of this country that will have to pay those consequences.

Democrat leadership...flatline.

More olympic yumminess..

CNN anchor freaks with disbelief as he realizes that obama is not a god.

Enjoy the freak out. I know I did.

"THE EGO HAS LANDED"

..And landed HARD with an excruciating (and delicious) THUD!

Yesterday, I wrote: "Does anyone else out there think that this ISN'T in the bag.
Of course it is. It's nothing but a PR stunt to make it look as if this pansy ass still has clout.
BUT........
IF it ISN'T already in the bag...and the olympics aren't coming to chicago....then that would make obama one of the dumbest people to ever hold the office."....

The reason I said this, is that It just doesn't make sense for him to go to this and lobby for it if it weren't already in the bag. Why risk so much of your credibility, so much for so little??
Why risk going and pandering and then stand the chance of getting egg all over your face and looking weak as you come back to America looking WEAK to THIS country and every other country???

WHY go and look like an utter fool by : In the midst of an economic recession, when joblessness have ticked up to 9.8% WASTED TAX PAYERS MONEY by taking TWO jets, filled with a presidential entourage and secret service (and using extra gas to cart the tonage known as 'oprah and michele'),
In a time when the economy is very shaky, and his universal health care is running into all kinds of trouble with the PEOPLE of this country...When IRAN is testing missles and new facilities to create nuclear weapons...

..why do this? Unless you actually had it in the bag and were looking for an easy PR win?

Again..the fact that he DIDN'T have it in the bag, and put everything up for nothing...means he is more about arrogance and less on intellect.
He is...despite the whole "HAAAW-VAAAHD" thing...He is not, a very bright person.

Sorry...he just isn't.

The press was STUNNED! As was the crowd gathered at an outdoor event in chicago..STUNNED that chicago got wiped out.
And not just wiped out, BUT IT WASN'T EVEN CLOSE!
Chicago got layed out! IN THE FIRST ROUND!!

If this were an olympic sprts 'event', they wouldn't have even got the bronze! They (chicago and obama) were in FOURTH! A distant FOURTH!!

(scuse me a sec..)

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAA
AAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAAA!!!!

Oh man...that's just too delici-oh-so-yummy!

The crowd was in shock, the obama media was beside themselves. And the reason once again...is that they couldn't believe that it WASN'T IN THE BAG!
WHY WOULD HE GO AND RISK IT ALL IF IT WEREN'T IN THE BAG!?!?

The spin was wonderful. In order to try and do damage controll. But there was just no way around it. Damage was done.

An interesting thing that came out..was that it appears that the committee was just not all that impressed with obama and crew. The feel from his speech was that it was all about HIM.
ARROGANT little pantywaist.


Great job champ! Your doin a SWELL job!

>: D

"O"-lympics....

Well, obama has decided that there is no better time than now (what economy problems? What joblessness problems? What Iran Problems?)...to head on out to Copenhagen to try and get the olympics (worthless) to be held in (worthless) chicago.

Now lets be clear....Who DOESN'T think that this isn't already in the bag?
Of course it is. It's nothing but a PR stunt to make it look as if this pansy ass still has clout.
BUT........
IF it ISN'T already in the bag...and the olympics aren't coming to chicago....then that would make obama one of the dumbest people to ever hold the office.

The interesting thing about this, is that in the midst of all of the gangland killings and violence in the great city of chicago....it's interesting that even chicago itself doesn't even want this stupid thing known as the 'olympics' to be held in their city.
Maybe bacause they sense what would really happen if it does come.

They...Chicago....will LOSE money. LOSE money in a state and city where they already have mas unemployment and mass violence. A city that is by all accounts in the toilet due to democratic rule.

Now if even they know this, then one has to hold out hope that even dems in that city might have at least a SMALL amount of common sense.

Or perhaps it falls in the realm of: "Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while."
