Hump Day Report: Leftist Violence, Extremism, Corruption

ALOHA, ALL!!  If you’ve never heard of Alfonzo Rachel (“Zo”) he’s a true American treasure.  Zo is a Black conservative who does videos for Pajamas Media.  In this one, he talks about how it’s OK to spew hatred against a president if you’re a left-winger, but if you’re on the right and say anything that could be construed as violent, you get a visit from the Secret Service.  Case in point:  Ted Nugent.  Uncle Ted said something recently that was controversial.  And it did push the envelope. And the Secret Service were on him like white on rice.  But as Zo points out, what about all the horrible, violent things that were said about Bush?  *cricket sounds* Check it out:  

BREAKING NEWS!  Axelrod to be fired for inciting violence.  Well, maybe not:  GOP Controlled by Far Right “Reign of Terror”  

Jon Corzine, crook and FOB (Friend of Barry.)  Amid Scandal, Corzine Is Among Obama’s Top Bundlers  ”Corzine, the former New Jersey senator and governor, and former head of Goldman Sachs, is among 127 individuals (dubbed “volunteer fundraisers” in the parlance used by Obama’s Chicago campaign) credited with raising more than $500,000 through the first quarter of 2012.”

Looking forward to this one!  Occupy Unmasked  “It’s young, it’s spontaneous.  It’s going to be effective” Nancy Pelosi.  ”I’m so impressed by what I’m seeing here.”  Michael Moore.  Far out, idiots.

This guy would have approved of the OWS crowd, too.  Ira Einhorn, Earth Day’s Dirty Secret  ”You won’t find Ira Einhorn’s name listed in any of the Earth Day promotional literature, as the organizers have taken great pains to distance themselves from this man, at least since he became better known for composting his girlfriend in a trunk in his closet for a couple of years in the late 1970s.”

And what has environmental extremism given us?  Here’s a great video (Shaka to Scott)    Free Market America is responsible for this video.  They have an excellent site dedicated to defending the principles of economic freedom against the threat of environmental extremism.  Go HERE.  Now!

This site has been criticized for being “racist.”  Obama Isn’t Working  It was claimed the title presented a stereotype of Black men (i.e. “not working.”)  Seems like everything is “racist” these days.  Whatever.  There’s tons of good information and resources on there.  Then again, I’m a racist according to that dopey blogger in Maryland so it figures I’d like it.

And did you know it’s racist to suspend a black kid from school?  Just ask Jesse Jackson:  School Suspension is Racial Profiling, Caused Trayvon’s Death  Time for Jackson, Sharpton and their race-baiting ilk to get real jobs.

I just posted on Smart Girl Politics Action blog.  This IS War!  ”The concerted effort to bring down our free-market, Constitution-based system of government is real, and affects everyone….not just women.”  Check it out.

Glad you voted for Obama?  1 in 2 New Graduates are Jobless or Underemployed  ”Taking underemployment into consideration, the job prospects for bachelor’s degree holders fell last year to the lowest level in more than a decade.”

This is a good one - Shaka to Don!

Final Thoughts:  ”…it’s important for us to pause for a moment and make sure that we are talking with each other in a way that heals, not a way that wounds.” Barack Obama after the Tucson shooting

“…liberals only have empathy for the exact same victims — always the ones that are represented by powerful liberal interest groups.” Ann Coulter

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: Obamacare Judgment Day

Seriously? We'll see who has the power in November.

ALOHA, ALL!  It’s finally here – Obamacare gets its day(s) in court.  Here are a few links that will help sort out all the legalese.  Interesting how something that was already confusing and pedantic can become even more so.

The Obamacare Hydra | FrontPage Magazine  ”The Hydra was a mythical swamp beast whose multiple heads grew back after being severed. Obamacare is a real Washington monster whose countless hidden bureaucracies keep sprouting forth even after they’re rooted out.”  Michelle Malkin hits it out of the park again with this one!

What to Expect During the Supreme Court Hearings for Obamacare  ”Six hours of oral argument will be conducted in four sessions, spread over three days. That’s what the Supreme Court has allocated for the cases challenging the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare).”  This gives a day-by-day account of what to expect.

In Pictures: The Impact of Obamacare  ”The Heritage Foundation’s re-launched version of “Obamacare in Pictures: Visualizing the Effects of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” shows through new charts and graphs Obamacare’s far-reaching negative effects on Americans.”  This is a great resource!  Shows that the so-called “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” is anything but.

Short and to the point (OK…the guy needs a stylist but you can’t arg  

The GOP has no healthcare plan?  Right.  Republicans Have A Radical Plan To Reform Health Care, But They Are Afraid To Talk About It – Investors.com  ”What makes this Republican approach so radical is that it would replace all government tax and spending subsidies for the purchase of private health insurance with a fixed-sum tax credit — essentially giving every American the same number of dollars to apply to their health insurance, regardless of where they obtain it.”  Gee, that could NEVER work now could it?!

Final Thought:  ”This is a big f—ing deal.”  Classy Joe Biden after the passage of Obamacare in May, 2010

And NEVER forget Ms. First Class herself, Nancy Nitwit!

Hump Day Report: What The Fluke?

ALOHA, ALL!  I’ve been MIA this week due to traveling and illness (there’s a nasty intestinal thing going around….I know – TMI!)  Anyhow,  I’ve been forced to watch lots of TV and have been  following all the top stories….Bibi owning Barry, Super Tuesday, Derrick Bell and more.   There’s one “story” that shouldn’t be given the air time it has –  this Sandra Fluke thing.  Are you kidding me?  A liberal, self-proclaimed women’s reproductive advocate (the co-president of Law Students for Reproductive Justice.)  Don’t think this was a set-up?  This from her Wikipedia page (which has been highly edited since  she became a house-hold name):  ”Before Fluke enrolled at Georgetown University’s law school, she researched the college’s health plans for students, and discovered that contraception was not included. As of February 2012, she has spent the past three years lobbying the school’s administration to change its policy on this issue.”  Note: BEFORE she enrolled at Georgetown.  Give me a break!  Let alone the outrageous claim of $3,000 in costs for a poor struggling law student to pay for birth control.  Or the fact that she’s 30 and still a law student…since 2008.  So here’s an interesting twist:  Fluke may be gay.  How can that be, you say?  Read this then you tell me:   Sandra Fluke — Liberal Lesbian Activist on a Secret Mission? – Yahoo! Voices – voices.yahoo.com

Yes, it’s speculation but if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck…..don’t be afraid to see what you see (President Reagan’s voice keeps ringing in my head about 50 times a day.)  Frankly, I couldn’t care less if Ms. Fluke is gay, but it’s rather disingenuous of her to be pushing for birth control pills if she is.  Unless there’s a bigger motive, as the article points out. FACT:  Nancy Pelosi was instrumental in getting Sandra Fluke to testify in front of the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee.  In fact, Representative Carolyn Maloney of NY thanked  Pelosi “for bringing Sandra (Fluke) to this hearing and for your commitment to these issues that are so important to tens of millions of women and men across our country.”  Why so chummy?  Read more about the Fluke/Pelosi connection here:  Is this why Sandra Fluke went public?

Here’s Fluke’s statement in front of the Democrats  - if you can stand it.  Bonus!  You even get a glimpse of Nancy Nitwit herself at the beginning:  

Final Thought (from thefreedictionary.com):

fluke 1 (flk) n.  1. Any of various flatfishes, especially a flounder of the genus Paralichthys.  2. See trematode.  [Middle English, from Old English flc; see plk-1 in Indo-European roots.]

fluke 2 (flk) n.  1. Nautical The triangular blade at the end of an arm of an anchor, designed to catch in the ground.  2. A barb or barbed head, as on an arrow or a harpoon.  3. Either of the two horizontally flattened divisions of the tail of a whale.  [Possibly from fluke.]

fluke 3 (flk) n.  1. A stroke of good luck.  2. A chance occurrence; an accident.  3. An accidentally good or successful stroke in billiards or pool.  [Origin unknown.]

BREAKING NEWS UPDATE – SANDRA FLUKE GETS HER FIRST COMMERCIAL ENDORSEMENT!  (Shaka to thelookingspoon.com)

WAKE UP AMERICA – YOU’RE BEING FLUKED (verb this time) BY A SIDE-SHOW!!!

Hump Day Report: Deja Vu

ALOHA, ALL!!!  Yes, it seems we’ve been here before.  A hostage crisis, a feckless president, a powder-keg situation.  How will it end?  While that remains to be seen, we know that the current situation is dangerous.  We know that the United Sates, under this president, has lost respect around the world.  We know that Americans in many foreign countries aren’t safe.  Heck, some are being held hostage and Barry is doing nothing….nada….zero zilch.  How will it end?  That’s up to us in November.   Jimmy Carter All Over Again | FrontPage Magazine

Since it’s Friday, how about some videos?  (No Rick Rolling – promise!)

Was it MLK Day or  0bama Day?  

I really think Nancy Nitwit has lost her mind.  

The “Anti-Nitwit” – Congresswoman Renee Elmers!  

And there’s an “Anti-Dimwit” on the horizon, too!!!  CPAC interview: Hey, who wants to fire Debbie Downer? « Hot Air  ”Yesterday at CPAC, we had a number of technical issues on Blogger Row, which almost kept me from interviewing the impressive Republican challenger to Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Karen Harrington.”

The Tipping Point is here.  Dependence on Government Highest in History  ”The Heritage Foundation’s 2012 Index of Dependence on Government shows an alarming trend under the Obama Administration of a level of dependence on our government that has never been seen before. Today, a full 70 percent of the federal government’s budget goes to pay for housing, food, income, student aid, or other assistance, with recipients ranging from college students to retirees to welfare beneficiaries.”

No surprise here.  Occupy Wall Street Now Promoting the Weather Underground – Common American Journal  ”Occupy Albany has announced an event in March called, The Weather Underground Meets Occupy Wall Street….to celebrate U.S. political prisoner David Gilbert’s new memoir, “Love and Struggle.” Gilbert is currently serving time in the Auburn Correctional Facility and is described as “an American radical leftist organizer and activist.”

Look out Dennis the Menace – here comes Joe the Plumber!  http://www.joeforcongress2012.com/  ”I am running for Congress in the 9th District of Ohio. And I’m asking you to stand with me. Enough is enough. No matter which side of the political fence you stand on, stealing is wrong.”  Good luck, Joe!  Hubby’s cousin ran against Kucinich last time and almost pulled it off.

UPDATE:  In the last HDR I wrote about the changes in combat pay.  An alert reader and military member sent me this explanation:  ”On “combat pay”: The change simply says that an individual gets paid only for the days they are in the hostile-fire zone. In Kosovo, we had people get sent down from USAREUR (U.S. ARmy in EURope) in Germany for, oh, a single day per month, and then collect hostile-fire pay for the whole month. It was not exactly a morale-builder that people could do that. All in all, it’s not a bad change.”  So if the military is OK with this, then I am too.  At least for now.  But why do I not trust a single thing this administration does?

Don’t mess around with those nuns!  (I know from experience)  TV Network Started by Cloistered Nun Sues Sebelius | CNSnews.com  ” Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN)–founded in 1981 by Mother M. Angelica, a cloistered Roman Catholic nun belonging to the Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration–has filed suit against Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and other senior officials in the Obama administration..”  She’s also suing Timothy Geitner & Hilda Solis.  Hey Mother A – why not Nancy Nitwit, too?!?  Or at least a few smacks with a ruler

BREAKING NEWS – OBAMA ANNOUNCES “ACCOMODATION.”  Obama to Announce Contraception Rule ‘Accommodation’ for Religious Organizations – ABC News  ”The move, based on state models, will almost certainly not satisfy bishops and other religious leaders since it will preserve the goal of women employees having their birth control fully covered by health insurance.”  Notice how they can’t even say the word “compromise”????  Yeah….the Great Uniter.

Final Thought:  ”Watch me closely during the campaign because I won’t be any better a president than I am a candidate.” Jimmy Carter

Hump Day Report: Kimjongilia and Other Nonsense

Aloha, All!  I know…I said I wasn’t going to post as much the next couple of weeks, but Holy Jingle Bells….so much going on!  My Mom called me a little while ago, laughing uncomfortably.  She and I have the same name (Gilia.)  Guess what?  The late Dear Leader of Korea had flowers named for him using OUR name.  That’s right….the name that I share with my mother has been desecrated.  A Japanese botanist cultivated a Gilia flower into a begonia and named it after Kim Jong Il for his 46th birthday.  Here’s the commemorative song:

The red flowers that are blossoming over our land

Are like hearts: full of love for the leader

Our hearts follow the young buds of Kimjongilia

Oh! The flower of our loyalty!

 Lovely.  Now my life is complete.  Kimjongilia – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here are some quick links of the latest news:

House Republicans Reject Payroll Tax Cut Deal – NYTimes.com (ICYMI:  House Republicans PASSED a one-year extension of the payroll tax cut last week, sent it on to the Senate where Dirty Harry worked his magic and made it a two-month extension instead.  He then had the nerve to leave town for his Christmas vacation.  Barry had the nerve to blame the GOP.  Business as usual for TOTCO – The One They Call Obama.)

Senators, Do Your Job and Get to Work  (Important points:  ”…As a reminder, this is the same President who has not met with House Republican leadership in five months and is now praising the grand accomplishment of a Senate that has failed to pass a budget for nearly 1,000 days under Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-NV) direction.”

A Special Poem for Harry Reid, from HDR reader George:

Dear Harry (Grinch) Reid,

I asked Santa for many pipeline jobs and a full year of payroll tax reductions under the Christmas Tree.

Not that I thought Rudolph would ever be able to find his way through the political fog.

Thanks to you and your evil Democrat elves, looks like Christmas will be less than it could be.

Is it true that you have Santa’s sleigh chained to a pomegranate tree somewhere in the wilds of Nevada?

Merry Christmas to you anyway.

George

Hump Day Report: “Merry Christmas” a No-No

ALOHA, ALL!!  You’d think your Representative could send you a Merry Christmas greeting.  Or even a generic “Happy Holidays.”  Ah – think again!  Anything that goes out as official mail is reviewed by the franking commission (bloated government, much?) to determine if tax dollars will pay for the postage.  All types of holiday greetings are verboten:  Congressmen can’t say ‘Merry Christmas’ in mail   With all the waste in government, we actually have franking committees who tell Congresspeople they can’t mail holiday greetings?????  What’s next, trash police who make sure you recycle?  (Oh wait – that’s already here.)  BTW, the image above comes from a new Facebook site called Obama Must Go – OMG for America.  If you’re on Facebook, be sure to check it out!

OOPS, they did it again.  Omnibus Spending Deal Comes Up Short   ”With Christmas just a week away and the new year nearly upon us, Congress came within a whisper of yet another potential government shutdown and once again demonstrated its inability to make substantive spending cuts and deliver the American people the reforms necessary to secure America’s fiscal future. Rather than produce a timely budget by way of standard operating procedure, congressional leaders again butted up against the deadline and reached a deal on a trillion-dollar “mega-omnibus” nine-bill appropriations package that sadly is yet another disappointing failure to rein in government spending.”

Looks like McCain is getting to Putin via Twitter – LOL!  McCain Tweets Putin: ‘Dear Vlad, Is It Something I Said?’ | CNSnews.com

And he’s a Constitutional expert – just ask him!  Obama Pledges to Rule, with or without Congress  ”Well, we can’t say he didn’t warn us. After the November 2010 elections when the President’s party lost control of the U.S. House, Barack Obama told America that where he can’t legislate, he will regulate. In the last year, he lived up to that pledge, and now he’s promising to do even more of it in 2012.”

Nancy Nitwit proves yet again that she’s better than everyone else.  ‘NAT GAS’ Energy Subsidies Would Enrich Pelosi  ”House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has pushed for a piece of legislation that would directly enrich her financially. Pelosi owns a major stake in a company that would likely see its share prices rise significantly if the legislation is passed.”

Seriously? This from the magazine that ignored the Tea Party movement.

And they wonder why subscriptions are down.  Time’s ‘Person of the Year’: Dishonest and Delusional | FrontPage Magazine  ”The writer of the Time story on the Person of the Year, Kurt Anderson, bends over backward to portray the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and the new Islamist government in Tunisia as “moderate.” He certainly has a curious definition of who or what is “moderate” when it comes to Islamism.”

Did you see the debate last night?  Aside from Rick Perry claiming to be the Tim Tebow of the GOP. Ron Paul provided more of his nonsensical talk.  Are you kidding me?  Listen to this guy and if he makes sense to you then all I can say is WOW.  He keeps thinking back to the 1960s….does he notice that it’s 2011?  Earth to Paul:  the MAD concept and negotiating with foes worked in the 60′s because our enemies didn’t want to die.  In the 21st century, Jihadists don’t care if they die for their cause and take us out with them!   Paul honestly thinks we can talk to jihadists who want to wipe Israel and us off the face of the earth?  He thinks they hate us because we bomb them.  They hate us because of who we are. They attacked us first (and I don’t just mean 9/11/01 – click HERE)  Watch this:  

Ah, those tricky Alinsky-trained obamabots:  Obama’s Creepy New Plot to Get Republican E-mail Addresses  ”The Obama presidential campaign is launching an effort to collect Republican email addresses by inviting its supporters to submit information about their Republican associates to the Obama 2012 website…”

Final Thought:  ”I called the commission to ask for clarification and was told no ‘Merry Christmas.’ Also told cannot say ‘Happy New Year’ but can say ‘have a happy new year’ – referencing the time period of a new year, but not the holiday.”  Anonymous Hill staffer

Hump Day Report: BOO!!

ALOHA, ALL!  I thought I’d continue the Halloween theme today since there are plenty of scary things happening around the country that don’t just end on October 31.

Nightmares on Wall Street:  ‘Occupy’ Protest loses permit due to public masturbation…and More   Click on the link to see a compilation of OWS incidents around the country….and the list is not even comprehensive, for sure.  And they are supposedly just like the Tea Party?  Right.  Trick or Treat – the OWS group is full of tricks and no treats.  And for an official list of the OWS zombie supporters, click HERE (Thanks, Cindy!)

Nancy Nitwit will scare anyone (and she doesn’t even need a costume).  She thinks the NLRB should be able to shut down private sector plants just because they aren’t unionized:  

Fast and Furious getting more furious:  Top Justice Dept. Official Admits ‘Mistake’ in Ignoring ATF’s ‘Unacceptable Tactics’  ”At first glance,” Grassley said, “the documents indicate that contrary to previous denials by the Justice Department, the criminal division has a great deal of culpability in sweeping the previous Wide Receiver strategy under the rug and then allowing the subsequent Operation Fast and Furious to continue without asking key questions.”

Why Cain’s “sexual harassment” charge shows the media are vampires.  Herman Cain Makes Sexual Harassment Taboo Again  ”If randy sexual behavior is OK for Democrats, why is the accusation against Cain a legitimate news item? Oh, that’s right — he’s a Republican who’s gaining popularity and poses an election threat to the media’s current darling. Suddenly sexual aberrance is wrong again.”

RIP to another “Green” company.  Government Backed Beacon Power Corp Files for Bankruptcy  ”When the government-backed Solyndra filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, policymakers supportive of the loan-guarantee program said variations of the following: “If this were a venture capital firm and only one out of 10 projects failed, they would be a great success.” That would be fine if it were private money, not taxpayer money. But now a second company is going under.”

And to protect yourself from all those ghosts and goblins:    This guy’s been called every kind of nasty name you can imagine because of this radio ad.  Frankly, I think he’s exercising his right to free speech.  It’s his training program and he can train whomever he wants!!!!  (Wonder if Pelosi will step in and make him unionize.  Thanks to Scott for the link.)

Ah, but just wait til those skeletons come out of the closet!  Jonathan Alter: Obama has miraculously remained free of scandal « Hot Air  ”In a fawning opinion piece for Bloomberg, author and columnist Jonathan Alter writes glowingly of “The Obama Miracle” — the supposed lack of scandal in the White House under Obama’s purportedly upstanding leadership.”

BREAKING NEWS!  Terrorist Recruiter Anwar Al-Awlaki Killed in Yemen by U.S. Drones and Hellfire Missiles | CNSnews.com  ”The U.S. airstrike that rained Hellfire missiles on al-Awlaki was run by the U.S. military’s elite counterterrorism unit, the Joint Special Operations Command, the same unit that got bin Laden, the AP reported. Friday’s successful kill was the result of counterterrorism cooperation between Yemen and the U.S. that has dramatically increased in recent weeks, even as Yemen has plunged deeper into turmoil as protesters try to oust President Ali Abdullah Saleh, U.S. officials said.”

You Think This Will Be On MSNBC?  Black Pastor Sues Obama & Democratic Party for Racism – Common American Journal  ”Reverend Wayne Perryman began the lawsuit (case C11-1503) along with journalist Robert Parks because he was fed up with all the rhetoric coming from the left, blaming all of Obama’s failures on race. Perryman and Parks began researching the Democrat Party and became enraged when they noticed the Democrat Party—via their website–was whitewashing their own history.”

What Part of “Stupid” Don’t They Understand?  Energy Department approves $1 billion in solar energy loan guarantees – Common American Journal  ”The Energy Department announced Wednesday that is has finalized more than $1 billion in loan guarantees for two separate solar energy projects.  The decision comes several weeks after Solyndra, a California-based solar manufacturer that received a $535 million loan guarantee from the Obama administration in 2009, filed for bankruptcy and laid off 1,100 workers, setting off a firestorm in Washington.”

Stuck on Stupid.  Crony Capitalism: $737 Million Green Jobs Loan Given to Nancy Pelosi’s Brother-In-Law | The Weekly Standard  ”The Energy Department announced Wednesday that is has finalized more than $1 billion in loan guarantees for two separate solar energy projects. The decision comes several weeks after Solyndra, a California-based solar manufacturer that received a $535 million loan guarantee from the Obama administration in 2009, filed for bankruptcy and laid off 1,100 workers, setting off a firestorm in Washington…PCG’s number two is none other than “Ronald Pelosi, a San Francisco political insider and financial industry polymath who happens to be the brother-in-law of Nancy Pelosi.”

Time To “Unlike” Facebook?? FreedomTorch.com – Facebook Forms Political Action Committee  ”The Wall Street Journal reported today that on Sunday, Facebook Chief Operations Officer, Sheryl Sandberg, held a star-studded fundraiser for Barack Obama that raised $2.5 million in one night. In his talk President Obama said to the audience gathered at the Facebook COO’s mansion, “all of you have a commitment to a particular vision of what America should be.” He elaborated on that vision saying they held in common, “the values of shared prosperity, being good stewards of the environment, making sure that we are investing in our kids, making sure that everybody has a shot.”  (Thanks to Cindy for the link.)

Must Be the Early Bird Special.  Michelle Obama: ‘Just relax’ with my husband – Maggie Haberman – POLITICO.com  ”The emails from the Barack Obama reelect about winning a dinner with the president as a randomized reward for contributing to the campaign have gotten a bit more intense as time goes on, and the latest one, from the first lady, emphasizes that the winner of such a prize shouldn’t freak out about it.”  Note:  all you have to donate is THREE DOLLARS to be entered to win.  THREE DOLLARS????  LOL!  (Thanks to Opa for the link.)

Who Wouldn’t Want to Dine With Jimmy 0bama?    WOW….Barry’s truly channeling Jimmy! Let’s hope he shares Jimmy’s fate as well.

ICYMI:  RAISING CAIN at DickMorris.com  ”If you could feel the Earth move under your feet today or last night, it’s not an earthquake. It’s the new Fox News poll which shows Herman Cain vaulting into a third place finish, only 6 points from the lead in the GOP nomination race.”  Some Cain facts (thanks, Susie!):

• Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics.
• Master’s degree in Computer Science.
• Mathematician for the Navy, where he worked on missile ballistics (making him a rocket scientist).
• Computer systems analyst for Coca-Cola.
• VP of Corporate Data Systems and Services for Pillsbury (this is the top of the ladder in the computer world, being in charge of information systems for a major corporation).
• All achieved before reaching the age of 35. Since he reached the top of the information systems world, he changed careers.
• Business Manager. Took charge of Pillsbury’s 400 Burger King restaurants in the Philadelphia area, which were the company’s poorest performers in the country. Spent the first nine months learning the business from the ground up, cooking hamburger and yes, cleaning toilets. After three years he had turned them into the company’s best performers.
• Godfather’s Pizza CEO. Was asked by Pillsbury to take charge of their Godfather’s Pizza chain (which was on the verge of bankruptcy). He made it profitable in 14 months.
• In 1988 he led a buyout of the Godfather’s Pizza chain from Pillsbury. He was now the owner of a restaurant chain. Again he reached the top of the ladder of another industry.
• He was also chairman of the National Restaurant Association during this time. This is a group that interacts with government on behalf of the restaurant industry, and it gave him political experience from the non-politician side.
• Having reached the top of a second industry, he changed careers again
• Adviser to the Federal Reserve System. Herman Cain went to work for the Federal Reserve Banking System advising them on how monetary policy changes would affect American businesses.
• Chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank. He worked his way up to the chairmanship of a regional Federal Reserve bank. This is only one step below the chairmanship of the entire Federal Reserve System (the top banking position in the country). This position allowed him to see how monetary policy is made from the inside, and understand the political forces that impact the monetary system.
• After reaching the top of the banking industry, he changed careers for a fourth time.
• Writer and public speaker. He then started to write and speak on leadership. His books include Speak as a Leader, CEO of Self, Leadership is Common Sense, and They Think You’re Stupid.
• Radio Host. Around 2007—after a remarkable 40 year career—he started hosting a radio show on WSB in Atlanta (the largest talk radio station in the country).
• He did all this starting from rock bottom (his father was a chauffeur and his mother was a maid). When you add up his accomplishments in his life—including reaching the top of three unrelated industries: information systems, business management, and banking—Herman Cain may have the most impressive resume of anyone that has run for the presidency in the last half century.  Oh yeah – he also battled and beat Stage IV colon & liver cancer.  But even though he’s Black, he must be a racist because he’s a Republican and supports the Tea Party movement.  Oh wait!  Some drone on O’Reilly named Jehmu claimed that Cain proves “nerds can be bigoted, too!” Nice one, flunkie.

Final Thought:  ”Take off your bedroom slippers. Put on your marching shoes. Shake it off. Stop complainin’. Stop grumblin’. Stop cryin’. We are going to press on.

ALOHA, ALL!!  The “Cut, Cap and Balance” vote is set for tomorrow (Tuesday.)  While Barry calls this just a political move by the GOP that has no teeth, in reality it sends a strong message:  we’re tired of out-of-control government spending.  We’re also tired of  no leadership from 0bama or the Democrats on how to cut spending and decrease the debt.  Barry thinks we don’t need a balanced budget amendment….of course not!  He wants to keep spending like a kid with his parent’s credit card:    Obama: ‘We Don’t Need a Balanced Budget Amendment’ | CNSnews.com  House Speaker John Boehner said it best:  “We’re in the fourth quarter here. Time and again Republicans have offered serious proposals to cut spending and address these issues, and I think it’s time for the Democrats to get serious as well.”  Here’s a good overview of what Cut Cap and Balance is all about:    Cut, Cap and Balance – By Andrew Stiles – The Corner – National Review Online  Call your Congressional representative and tell him or her to vote “yes” on Cut, Cap and Balance.  It’s easy – just go here:  URGENT: Tell your Congressman to vote YES on the ‘Cut Cap Balance’ Act | FreedomWorks  Meanwhile, Barry, you’re at the bat…unless you’d rather golf again.

It’s all yours, Barry.  Obama Owns the Debt-Ceiling Fiasco – Common American Journal  ”The president has made a bipartisan agreement even more difficult by declaring certain spending off-limits to cuts. Mr. Obama’s “untouchable” list includes his $1 trillion health-care reform, $128 billion in unspent stimulus funds, education and training outlays, his $53 billion high-speed rail proposal, spending on “green” jobs and student loans, and virtually any structural changes to entitlements except further squeezing payments to doctors, hospitals and health-care professionals.”

EXCELLENT overview!!!!!  A Brief History of President Obama’s Fiscal Record | Committee On The Budget  ”Despite newfound concern with the debt overhang stifling economic growth, President Obama’s record falls far short of his rhetoric. Let’s review the decisions made by President Obama and Congressional Democrats over the past couple of years, and the disappointing results of their policy choices…”

This is one of my favorite political videos…very clever and entertaining.  It’a also very pertinent to what’s happening now – will obama strike out?  

Barry’s cousin is at it again.  WOLF: ‘German Miracle’ Barack Obama doesn’t see – Washington Times  ”Mr. Obama cannot see the obvious lessons of the German Miracle: Unleash the free market, unshackle entrepreneurs and workers from big-government controls and we, the free people of the United States, can rescue our economy and create our own 21st century American Miracle.”  Wanna bet this guy doesn’t get invited to Thanksgiving dinner at the White House?????  (Thanks to hubby for the link.)

She’s just SO DARN busy now!!!  Pelosi Says She’s ‘Almost Too Busy’ to Continue Listening to Debt Talks | CNSnews.com  ”The only thing I hope he doesn’t ask us to do is go to Camp David. That goes beyond the pale. Driving down the street for these meetings is one thing…”  Aw, poor Nancy Nitwit – how dare anyone ask her to drive into the Maryland woods!

ICYMI:  Court: ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ will stay in place – Yahoo! News  ”The military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy is back in place for the time being, with one major caveat: the government is not allowed to investigate, penalize or discharge anyone who is openly gay.”

More good news.  Chavez Imperiled | FrontPage Magazine  ”Despite weeks of deception and affectation of good health, Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez is in Cuba for chemotherapy, heightening speculation about whether he’ll still run for re-election in 2012 and how the regime will survive after him.”

Just who are the special interests?  Watch this and you’ll see.  Hint:  it’s not those nasty corporate jet owners (thanks to Ruth for the link):

GOD BLESS AMERICA – PASS THIS ON – REMEMBER IN 2012!!
