Hump Day Report: Friday Follies
ALOHA, ALL!! It’s Friday – so let’s start off with a re-cap of the week’s news from PJTV:
Kind of puts it all into perspective doesn’t it????
In other news:
“Fair Share” rigamarole. Is The Buffett Rule an Election Year Gimmick? “For all of his rhetoric that the measure would “stabilize our debt and deficits for the next decade,” the Buffett Rule would bring in only $47 billion in revenue in ten years. To put those numbers in context, President Obama’s budget calls for adding $6.7 trillion to the national debt. So the Buffett Rule would cover just 0.007% of all of Obama’s debt and .001% of Obama’s spending.” Contrast with this: A 1% Spending Cut Is 6 Times As Effective As The Buffett Rule
I don’t think the Dems want to see this video: Ten years later, ANWR remains closed, gas prices have skyrocketed, and Obama continues to block additional energy production. Or maybe the Dems have seen it. Looks like they are defecting from their Dear Leader: Obama Faces Defeat on Keystone Pipeline
VEEP talk. Of Potential Veeps, Condoleeza Rice Has Highest Favorability Among Republicans ”Condi’s ticket-balancing credentials are obvious, she would more than hold her own in a debate, she’s been tested in the national spotlight and she has a kind of grace and gravitas that seemingly leave her unfazed by anything. She’s equally comfortable defending controversial foreign policy as she is playing classical piano for the queen. She’s certainly a compelling choice, and I can understand why she polled as well as she did.”
“Jobs” plans? New Obama Plan Would Allow Workers To Keep Unemployment Benefits After They Are Hired and DC Employees Model Congress by Collecting Unemployment While Employed ”Is it any coincidence that such a large scale corruption and theft took place in the shadows of the US Capitol Building and White House?”
Final Thought: ”…the Supreme Court had unleashed a predator that was oozing slime into the political system.” Nancy Pelosi, Congresswoman and expert on slime and political system predators
Hump Day Report: It’s The Gas Gas Gas!
ALOHA, ALL!!! Gas prices continue to rise. Here in Hawaii, gasoline has been over $4/gallon for many months and some parts of the mainland are the same. Nationwide, the average price of a gallon of gas is now $3.80/gallon (check out this nifty daily gas tracker from AAA: Daily Fuel Gauge Report) So what is Barry doing? Some say he really can’t do anything…after all, he’s just the President of the United States. He can’t enact policies that will make us energy independent or be forward-thinking. Oh wait – that didn’t quite make sense, did it? 0bama’s entire energy policy doesn’t make sense, unless you realize he doesn’t give a rip about high gas prices (even though he said he did when he was campaigning in 2008. He’s President now so all that matters is moving forward on his statist, government-supported, green agenda.) And the fawning media are all too happy to support him (shaka to Garry for the link.)
Ah….but the American people are finally catching on. Oh my: Obama’s approval rating hits new low in CBS poll « Hot Air ”Just 41 percent of Americans approve of the job Mr. Obama is doing as president, according to the poll, conducted from March 7 to 11. Another 47 percent disapprove of his performance, up from 41 percent last month. Mr. Obama’s approval rating was 50 percent last month. The average U.S. price of a gallon of gasoline has jumped 12 cents over the past two weeks.”
HAVE YOU ODERED YOURS YET? Gas Station “Stick it to Obama” Sticky Note ”Now, you can purchase a pack of 25 sticky notes with this message from Patriot Depot for only $4.95! Sticky notes are a great way to quickly spread the conservative message with no sticky residue! Buy a pack of 100 sticky notes for just $14.95!” Hubby just ordered 100 
They will be put to good use here in the People’s Republic of Hawaii – the “birthplace” of Barry!!
ALERT! CRONY SOCIALISM VOTE TODAY! American Majority Alert | American Majority ”We are asking all Senators to vote “No” on the Menendez/Burr Amendment (Amendment #1782, also known as the Pickens’ Plan and the NAT GAS Act) that has been inserted into the Senate Highway Bill.” THIS IS THE ONE THAT WOULD MAKE T.BOONE PICKENS AND GEORGE SOROS EVEN WEALTHIER.
THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE ISN’T DEAD YET. Keystone pipeline revival tucked in Senate vote this week – HUMAN EVENTS ”Senate Republicans this week will challenge for the second time in a matter of days President Barack Obama’s contentious decision to kill the Keystone XL pipeline by tying the project to a popular tax break for working families.”
Final Thought: Of course, now I can’t get this song out of my head! Even more disturbing…what are those people wearing? And why is John Lennon using sign language? Oh well…..
GOD BLESS AMERICA – PASS THIS ON – REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!!
Hump Day Report: Spinning Out of Control
Shaka to Scott for the photo
ALOHA, ALL!! Obama’s apology tour continues. This time he apologized to Afghanistan president Hamid Karzai for the “inadvertent” burning of Korans at a U.S. military base. Enough, already! Never mind that the Korans were likely being used by prisoners to communicate with one another. Never mind that we are at war. Never mind that Barry (again) is undermining our military. Meanwhile, a Christian minister will be put to death at any time in Iran and Barry doesn’t say a word. Are you ready to get this clown out of office in November??? Obama apologizes for Koran burning incident in Afghanistan « Hot Air
Wanna hear some monumental spin? Check this out: Carney: Obama Didn’t Turn Down The Keystone Pipeline | RealClearPolitics ”White House press secretary Jay Carney first says Republicans “forced” President Obama to deny the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline. Later in his press briefing, Carney says Obama didn’t turn down the pipeline.”
But here’s what really happened with the Keystone pipeline. How the Rockefeller Fund Killed Keystone | FrontPage Magazine ”Earlier this month the Canadian news channel Sun News uncovered a PowerPoint presentation by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund that lays bare its strategy of funding a host of environmental groups to thwart the Keystone XL pipeline as well as other development projects that the fund considered a “globally significant threat.”
BIG spin. Obama Speech On High Gas Prices Contained Five Major Whoppers About Energy – Investors.com ”The White House billed President Obama’s energy policy speech as a response to mounting criticism of record high gas prices. What he delivered was a grab bag of excuses and outright falsehoods.”
UPDATE on the Alaskan Island give-away: Alaskan Islands Belong to Russia? A Conversation with Joe Miller | Western Journalism.com ”The Agreement exists, signed by a U.S. Secretary of State James Baker in 1990 and ratified by Congress in June 1990, and signed by President G. H. W. Bush. Russia has not signed on, originally declaring that they would receive too little from it.” So what’s the deal with all this?? It appears that Russia can claim these islands – will 0bama let them? Stay tuned, folks!!
Here’s a great blog post from my good friend. The Story of Jim: A Modern Parable | The Lucy Emerson Blog ”A couple of months ago a dear friend of mine posted on his Facebook page his belief that a large (and growing) federal government has given us, as Americans, more freedom than the much smaller and limited one that we started with. This felt profoundly wrong to me…”
It’s Friday – we need a little humor! (Shaka to Ed):
Teacher Arrested
A public school teacher was arrested today at John F. Kennedy International airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a compass, a slide-rule and a calculator. At a morning press conference, the ever present Nancy Pelosi said she believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra movement. She did not identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.
‘Al-Gebra is a problem for us,’ Vice President Biden said. ‘They derive solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values.’ They use secret code names like ‘X’ and ‘Y’ and refer to themselves as ‘unknowns,’ but we have determined that they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, ‘There are 3 sides to every triangle.’
When asked to comment on the arrest, President Obama said, ‘If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, he would have given us more fingers and toes.’ White House aides told reporters they could not recall a more intelligent or profound statement by the President – It is believed that another Nobel Prize will follow.
Final Thought: “The error was inadvertent; I assure you that we will take the appropriate steps to avoid any recurrence, to include holding accountable those responsible.” Barack 0bama in letter to Hamid Karzai

Hump Day Report: WWWD
ALOHA, ALL!!
It’s fitting to honor George Washington, the Father of Our Country, today. He was an extraordinary individual (and my favorite President.) To realize the sacrifices and incredible leader he was, one needs to put into perspective the times in which he lived. Washington could have lived his life very comfortably under British rule. He was a wealthy man (gee….a 1 percenter??) with a beautiful home and lots of land. But his country needed him and he stepped forward. This video from Dick Morris explains how Washington was a true hero and leader, not just in ways we commonly know:
And this article from The Heritage Foundation explains why it’s ridiculous that we no longer celebrate Washington’s Birthday as a singular holiday: George Washington and the Real Meaning of Presidents Day ”George Washington, the “indispensable man” of the Revolution who was rightly extolled for being “first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen,” has now been lumped together with the likes of James Buchanan, Jimmy Carter, Franklin Pierce and John Tyler.”
God bless you, President Washington! Your beloved country is going through a rough spot right now. We’ll do our best to set it right again.
Washington would not approve. Democrat Blocks Rand Paul’s Attempt to Cut Aid to Egypt Because of Its ‘Insolence and Disregard’ | CNSNews.com ”A senior Democratic senator Thursday shot down an attempt by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) to call up an amendment cutting off all U.S. aid to Egypt unless the authorities allow Americans being detained there to leave the country.” (Hint: the “senior Democratic senator” is from CA and has the initials “B.B.” she should be added to the picture above.)
ICYMI: House votes to expand drilling, approve Keystone XL – Common American Journal ”House lawmakers on Thursday approved a plan to authorize the Keystone XL pipeline and expand drilling offshore and in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The 237-187 victory for Republican leaders…”
Connecticut?? Taxpayers Paying For Illegal Immigrants in Connecticut ”Generally when you think of illegal immigrants you tend to think of the southern states from Florida across to California. One of the last states you may think of as having a problem with illegal immigrants is Connecticut, but guess again.”
Well, well, well!! Obama Contradicted: HHS Banned Determining Whether Mandate Was ‘Cost Effective’ | CNSNews.com ”There would be no consideration of cost effectiveness. That was the explicit condition that the Department of Health and Human Services imposed on the panel of health-care experts it commissioned to develop the “preventive services” mandate that will require virtually all health-insurance plans in the United States to cover sterilizations and contraceptives—including those that cause abortions.”
Then there’s this: As Obama pushes new regulations, UK eyes privatizing its health care – Common American Journal ”Filmmaker Michael Moore glorified the United Kingdom’s National Health Service in his 2007 documentary ”Sicko,” making a cult film argument that socialized medicine works. But Prime Minister David Cameron, the Tory MP who heads a coalition government in England, is apparently not a Moore fan: He is working to partially privatize the NHS, beginning a massive outsourcing of medical services to private health care providers throughout the U.K.”
Looking forward to this one! Check out the comments from the OWS…yeah, these miscreants represent 99% of the country.
One more video in honor of President’s Day - did you know Richard Pryor played the first Black President over 30 years ago????? (Shaka to Trisha)
Final Thought: “The General hopes and trusts that every officer and man will endeavor to live and act as becomes a Christian soldier defending the dearest rights and liberties of his country” – George Washington, General Order, 9 July 1776

Hump Day Report: Brewer/Obama Smack Down!
ALOHA, ALL!! Did Governor Jan Brewer get under Barry’s skin???? Whoa – looks like she did. Obama immediately left after his SOTU snoozer for yet another campaign trek across America (see his skedz below.) When he landed in Phoenix, Governor Brewer was there to meet him and it looks like she got an earful from Barry….and she gave it right back. Apparently, 0bama didn’t think Brewer treated him “cordially” in her book. Cordially?? This guy’s skin is about as thin as his resume. YOU GO, GIRL!!!! As Sarah Palin would say, “fight like a girl.” Obama, Arizona Gov. Brewer Have Words in Phoenix
Here’s where Barry went on Wednesday: 
Let’s see – Iowa, Arizona, Nevada. Are you out there promoting your “jobs” plan, Barry???????
SORRY, Kid- No more movies for me. Sundance, Soros and Robert Redford’s Double Life “Redford opened the 2012 Sundance Festival with a speech reeking rancor and self-righteousness. He faithfully condemned Republicans, Mitt Romney, and the United States. He lauded the Third World and its European leaders. It’s classic Redford—malcontent, contumacious, and ever anti-American. It is religion to him.” Did you know Soros is involved in Redford’s so-called film festival?
Wake up, Buckeyes! Ohio State Students Mobilize Against Freedom Center Ad ”Outraged students at the Ohio State University have mobilized after The Lantern, the campus’s official student-run newspaper, published what they say is a discriminatory advertisement linking the Muslim Student Association to international terrorism.”
Is this the real Buffett rule? At least somebody benefited from Obama’s ‘no’ on Keystone XL ”Guess who owns the rail line that handles 75 percent of North Dakotan oil shipping? Ah, yes! The Oracle of Omaha! Warren Buffett himself!” Another story: Warren Buffet Cleans Up After Keystone XL – HUMAN EVENTS ”Oil that would have moved by the Keystone XL is now going to shift to rail transportation….As it happens, 75 percent of the oil currently shipped by rail out of North Dakota is handled by Burlington Northern Santa Fe LLC… which just happens to be a unit of Warren Buffett’s company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc. What a coincidence!”
No wonder he’s singing – are you ready for this????? Apparently it’s some kind of greeting for Chinese New Year:
0bama’s Union cronyism. Obama Excuses Over 500,000 Union Members From Obamacare ”…now we learn that Obama has given waivers to some 550,000 union members so that they don’t have to suffer under Obamacare.”

Hump Day Report: State of Disunion
ALOHA, ALL!! Are you planning to watch the campaign OOPS! I mean State of the Union speech tonight? I haven’t decided – I may go bang my head against a wall instead. At least I know the pain will end in the foreseeable future. And I won’t have to listen to more of the same old shabai from Barry. Let’s see…..he’ll say “fair share” about 50 times and blame the Republicans for all the country’s woes. He’ll claim that Congress is “do-nothing.” Really, Barry? Watch this to see who is “do-nothing”:
Wanna get real-time fact checks of Barry’s SOTU speech? Go HERE at 9:00 pm eastern.
State of the Union Drinking Game!!!! Click HERE
Some inconvenient truths: In the last 1,000 days since the Senate passed a budget, the federal government has spent $9.4 trillion, added $4.1 trillion in debt, and left America with a total public debt of more than $15 trillion. Oh yeah – all these little things were accomplished in 1000 days or less.
Barry plans to thumb his nose at the law – again. Ryan: Disappointment with President’s “Abdication of Leadership” on Budget ”The 1974 Budget Act requires the President to submit a budget request to Congress the first Monday in February every year. In 2009 and 2011, the President failed to meet this deadline. Earlier today, the Office of Management and Budget announced it will again fail to meet its deadline.”
The “Fleebaggers” are at it – again. Indiana Democrats Fleebagging Again, Abandoning Their Jobs ”Because they don’t have enough votes in the Indiana Statehouse, Hoosier Democrats are abandoning their rightful duties and fleeing the Capitol over Indiana’s right-to-work bill currently under consideration in Indianapolis.”
China must LOVE Barry. Keystone fallout: Canada to offer oil to China – Common American Journal ”Prime Minister Stephen Harper, in a telephone call [Wednesday], told Obama “Canada will continue to work to diversify its energy exports,” according to details provided by Harper’s office.”
How about some good news? After Katrina, how charter schools helped recast New Orleans education ”New Orleans has become a laboratory for education reform since hurricane Katrina. Charter schools, which are free to experiment, make up the majority of the city’s schools.” (Shaka to hubby for the link.)
It’s not his job to arrest illegal aliens. Obama’s Border Patrol chief blasted by agents – Common American Journal “Someone needs to take a very serious look at what happened to some of the high-ranking folks [CBP Chief] David Aguilar promoted. Why did they suddenly “retire” and why was one fired? Were they worthy of positions of high public trust?” said members of the National Border Patrol Patrol Council.”
This is interesting….
Hmmmm…..do you see a pattern of falsifying identities here? Former Obama staffer arrested in false ID scheme | Campaign 2012 | Washington Examiner ”You will recall that ACORN and other Democratic satelites organized a campaign a couple of years back to install their allies in Secretary of State offices in as many key states as possible. Such officials are responsible for enforcing – or not enforcing – state election laws.”
Final Thoughts: ”What frustrates the American people is a Washington where every day is Election Day.”
“Starting in 2011, we are prepared to freeze government spending for three years. Spending related to our national security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security will not be affected, but all other discretionary government programs will.”
“We will double our exports over the next five years, an increase that will support 2 million jobs in America.”

Hump Day Report: Obama Plays Keystone Kop
"Don't worry...Barry's in the driver's seat!"
ALOHA, ALL!! By now you’ve heard that 0bama rejected the Keystone Pipeline project, showing once again that for him, politics trumps what’s best for America. This obvious move to appease his enviro-leftist supporters is an outrage. Here are some facts you need to know (shaka to Ericka at The Heritage Foundation):
1) Obama’s “Forced” Keystone Decision Rejects Jobs, Energy, and Logic
- Obama’s decision to reject Keystone sent a clear message that special interest demands are of more importance than more energy and much-needed job creation.
- Building the pipeline would bring over 700,000 barrels of oil per day and directly create 20,000 truly shovel-ready jobs.
- The Canadian Energy Research Institute estimates that current pipeline operations and the addition of the Keystone XL pipeline would create 179,000 American jobs by 2035.
- Keystone XL also met 57 specific pipeline safety standard requirements created by DOS and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA).
- Senators Max Baucus (D–MT), Jon Tester (D–MT), Joe Manchin (D–WV), Ben Nelson (D–NE), Mark Begich (D–AK), and Mary Landrieu (D–LA) have all expressed support for the pipeline.
- The President’s own jobs council underscored the need for not only more oil, natural gas, and coal but also energy infrastructure project
2) Under Obama, Oil and Gas Production on Federal Lands Is Down 40%.
- The vast majority of America’s oil and gas production is happening on private lands in states like North Dakota, Alaska and Texas.
- Oil and natural gas production on federal lands is down by more than 40 percent compared to 10 years ago.
- Under the Obama administration, 2010 had the lowest number of onshore leases issued since 1984
- The Obama administration held only one offshore lease sale in 2011.
Hump Day Report: What Happens In Ohio…
ALOHA, ALL!! There’s a big issue on Ohio’s ballot next Tuesday. Voters will decide if they want to keep Governor John Kasich’s sweeping reforms on big labor or if they want to continue to be shackled by unions. And the unions have spent millions to defeat Senate Bill 5 by using emotional pleas from EMTs, firefighters, cops and grandmas. Yep. One commercial (paid for by We Are Ohio – a union front group) has a tearful grandma wondering if her little granddaughter would be saved from a fire if SB 5 stands. Proponents of SB 5 shot back, using grandma’s words in an ad of their own. Of course, that ad was called “illegal” by the union supporters. Funny thing – they don’t like it when their own Alinsky tactics are used against them:
Some facts are in order:
- SB 5 does NOT repeal collective bargaining by state workers. They can still bargain for wages and hours, but some of the terms and conditions of their employment will be more strictly defined. In other words, expensive perks and fringe benefits – payed for by taxpayers – will be more delineated.
- SB 5 does NOT cut salaries and benefits for state workers. It merely asks them to pay a modest share towards their healthcare costs (15%) and pension plans (10%.)
- SB 5 does NOT cut teacher pay. It simply puts into place a merit-based system for pay raises instead of automatically giving raises based on longevity. In fact, President Obama included performance as a basis for teacher salary increases in his 2009 education policy.
- “We Are Ohio” is a union-organized group that is using Ohioans’ own tax dollars for their multi-million dollar ad campaign against SB 5.
- SB 5 won’t cause little girls to die in fires.
The union-backed emotional campaign against SB 5 is working. 57% of Ohio voters support repealing it. But if SB 5 is repealed, odds are there WILL be layoffs of workers, like EMTs and firemen, because the state is going broke paying for their pensions & perks. That means fewer firefighters to save little girls. So if you have friends or relatives in Ohio, tell them to vote “yes” on Issue 2….to keep SB 5. Because what happens in Ohio – good or bad – is a bellwether for the rest of the country.
The BRILLIANT mind of Ann Coulter – love her! Why Our Blacks Are Better Than Their Blacks – HUMAN EVENTS ”By spending the last three decades leveling accusations of “racism” every 10 seconds, liberals have made it virtually impossible for Americans to recognize real racism — for example, the racism constantly spewed at black conservatives.”
It really does pay to be an FOB (Friend of Barry.) Obama’s ‘great friend’ and ‘ally’ gets a golden parachute – Common American Journal ”Former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine is out of a job now that the Wall Street firm he headed, MF Global, has gone bankrupt, but don’t worry. He’ll be just fine…he’s expected to receive a $12.1 million severance package — the kind of things that critics of Wall Street excess, like Obama, often call “golden parachutes.”
How about some good news? House Votes to Reaffirm ‘In God We Trust’ as National Motto – HUMAN EVENTS ”Rep. J. Randy Forbes (R.-Va.), chairman of the Congressional Prayer Caucus and sponsor of the measure, said the resolution serves to clear up confusion over a speech President Obama gave last year in Jakarta, Indonesia, in which he stated that the motto was instead “E Pluribus Unum,” Latin for “Out of many, one.”
No. More. Cuts. Speaker of the House Boehner Says No More Defense Cuts ”The U.S. military has already contributed more to debt and deficit reduction than any other federal agency. Speaker of the House John Boehner (R–OH), recently sent a clear message to the congressional “super committee” charged with producing additional debt reduction plans: The defense budget has already coughed up enough.”
But watch out for those grandmas in wheelchairs! Officials From Terror-Sponsoring State ‘Exempted From Enhanced Screening’ by TSA ”…Sudan, upset that its citizens traveling to the United States would be subjected to increased scrutiny–as were those from 13 other countries–threatened to subject U.S. passengers traveling to Sudan to the same stepped-up body pat-downs, bag checks and other security measures.” Which begs the question: how many Americans go to Sudan????? And another thought: if you go to Sudan, I would think airport screening would be the least of your concerns.
Hey Barry – here’s the answer to your question: Why we can’t do big things anymore | The Daily Caller ”The Keystone XL pipeline would create thousands of new construction and manufacturing jobs in the middle of the country, significantly reduce our dependence on Middle Eastern oil and generate billions of dollars in new tax revenue. Environmental analyses show that it will be the safest pipeline ever constructed, a significant accomplishment in a country with over 160,000 miles of pipelines transporting oil products. Yet Keystone XL has remained stalled for three years, with federal bureaucrats constantly thinking twice and requiring new and redundant analyses that always generate the same conclusions.”

HDR 158: Raise The Roof Over The Debt Ceiling!
ALOHA, ALL! So the measure to raise the debt ceiling failed in the House yesterday. This is just the beginning of a long battle between those who want to cut spending and those who want to spend us into oblivion. Meanwhile, Dear Leader Barry continues to meet behind the scenes with leaders of both parties. Our illustrious Treasury Secretary, Tim “TurboTax” Geithner direly predicts that if the debt ceiling isn’t raised by August 2, our government will default, a depression will result, and chaos will ensue. Really? It seems to me it would enable us to prioritize what we really need to spend money on and maybe even get rid of non-essential, frivolous waste. Frankly, I don’t see any other way we will rein in this out-of-control monster government. Get real, DC….the American people are demanding you be serious with OUR money! House Rejects Bill to Raise Debt Limit – FoxNews.com
Oh yeah, who said this? “The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.” (*Answer below..but I’m sure you already know.)
Thank John Boehner! Thank Speaker Boehner for Blocking Obama Recess Appointments | RedState ”On Friday, the Examiner reported that Speaker Boehner did not pass a resolution giving the Senate permission to adjourn. Therefore, as he did in 2007, Harry Reid will convene pro-forma sessions today, on Tuesday May 31, and on Friday June 3rd, in order to block his own President from doing recess appointments.” Frankly, I’m fed up with all the Boehner bashing on the right. Rome wasn’t built in a day!
The brilliance of Thomas Sowell. Seductive Beliefs – Page 1 – Thomas Sowell – Townhall Conservative ”Despite a carefully choreographed image of affability and cool, Barack Obama’s decisions and appointments as President betray an alienation from the values and the people of this country that are too disturbing to be answered by showing his birth certificate.” LOVE that!

On the immigration front: 61% Favor A State Law That Would Shut Down Repeat Offenders Who Hire Illegal Immigrants – Rasmussen Reports™ ”61% of Likely U.S. Voters favor a law in their state that would shut down companies that knowingly and repeatedly hire illegal immigrants. Just 21% oppose such a law.” Earth to Republicans…you wanna win in 2012? Go after immigration!!!
On the energy front: API: Keystone XL Pipeline bill will create hundreds of thousands of new American jobs ”The bipartisan, North American-Made Energy Act, that would approve the Keystone XL Pipeline by November 1, is an important driver of U.S. economic growth and job creation, according to API.” But wait! The State Department (aka Hillary) is holding up the pipeline. a construction project that would transport crude oil from Alberta, Canada to Oklahoma and Texas oil refiners. Not only would the Keystone pipeline secure vital resources from a trusted ally, it would provide an economic boon for struggling Midwestern states. Americans for Tax Reform has a petition: Americans for Tax Reform :: Tell the State Department to Approve the Keystone XL Pipeline
I think I just heard a loud expletive coming from the White House. “The book that caused such a sensation even before its official launch that the White House felt pressured to preemptively release the president’s purported birth certificate – Jerome Corsi’s “Where’s the Birth Certificate? The Case That Barack Obama Is Not Eligible To Be President” – is now officially a New York Times best-seller. It debuts today on the Times nonfiction list at No. 6 – joining virtually all the other top bestseller lists this week, including USA Today, the Wall Street Journal and Publisher’s Weekly.” ‘Birther’ book soars – CNN Political Ticker – CNN.com Blogs
Another loud expletive…from Queen Michelle this time. Why Do People Keep Leaving the Employ of HRH Michelle Antoinette? | UNCOVERAGE.net ”Michelle haughtily denies it’s her unpleasant personality that’s driving people away by the boatloads; instead, she insists it’s because she sets such a ‘high bar’ of standards for them.” LOL!!
UPDATE: WeinerGate. Newser causes more trouble for Rep. Anthony Weiner | Byron York | Beltway Confidential | Washington Examiner ”After retaining legal counsel in a case in which a lewd photo was sent from his Twitter account to a 21 year-old female college student, New York Rep. Anthony Weiner says he will no longer answer questions about the matter. The matter has become a “distraction,” the outspoken Democrat told reporters Tuesday.” So he’s just not going to talk about it anymore? This will make it go away? Then again, NADA in the lamesteam media about this – can you imagine if it was a conservative? BREAKING NEWS: Just saw O’Reilly report on this.
Must-see video of Barry’s gal pal, terrorist Bernadine Dohrn (aka Mrs. Bill Ayers.) Remember – Barry launched his political career in their home. The former Weather Underground punk is still spewing venom – she needs to be thrown in jail for her crimes:
