Hump Day Report: How Can Obama Possibly Win? It’s Easy.
ALOHA, ALL!! This election should be a piece of chocolate cake with strawberries on top. But it won’t be. The media are in the tank for Obama, so scratch any semblance of balanced journalism from them. Big labor is in the tank for Obama, so they will use whatever thug tactics they can to get him re-elected. Big name celebrities are in the tank for Obama, so they will use their visibility to bring in big bucks. It seems Barry has the female vote in key swing states, because they’ve bought into the whole war on women crap (see this HDR: Dumbing Down the Women’s Vote.) But here’s the big reason Obama could win: voter fraud. James O’Keefe (Remember him? He did the videos exposing ACORN) has an explosive video showing how easy it is to get a ballot – someone else’s ballot – by simply walking in to a polling place. But the biggest shocker of all….he even pretend to be the Attorney General of the United States, Eric Holder, and pulled off this scam. (Um…doesn’t say much for the poll workers knowledge of government officials, does it? But that’s another problem.) Check this out:
That’s right, folks…he walked right into Eric Holder’s voting precinct, claimed to be Holder and was welcomed with open arms. We don’t need no stinkin’ ID!
And look who’s counting the votes: Bias in new vote-counting system? National security concerns also raised « Klein Online ”The Drudge Report yesterday ran a feature entitled, “Foreign company buys U.S. election results reporting firm.” The article documented that SCYTL, based in Barcelona, acquired 100% of SOE Software, the leading software provider of election management solutions in the United States.”
Obama’s team has already been working on his re-election for a year . The Guardian on Facebook ”For the past nine months a crack team of some of America’s top data wonks has occupied an entire floor of the Prudential building in Chicago devising a digital campaign from the bottom up. The team draws much of its style and inspiration from the corporate sector, with its driving ambition to create a vote-garnering machine that is smooth, unobtrusive and ruthlessly efficient.” (Sidenote: It’s no secret that the Facebook founder is in the tank for Obama, too.)
There was fraud in 2008, they’ll do it again (Shaka to Terri for the link.) Wikileaks reveals Democrat 2008 election crimes ”The latest activity by Wikileaks dumped some 5 million emails and documents hacked from the database of Stratfor Intelligence. The emails reveal Democrats’ effort to steal the 2008 election.”
Are we trying to emulate Egypt? Egyptian Cleric: It’s an ‘Obligation to Cheat at Elections’ | FrontPage Magazine ”Over and over, evidence emerges from Islamic nations that democracy and voting are instrumental means to an intrinsic end: the establishment of a decidedly undemocratic but draconian form of law—Islamic law, or Sharia.” In the case of the United States, it’s ObamaLaw.
They stuffed ballot boxes….paid off Jesse Jackson….took Russian money. This year will make all these actions seem like kid’s stuff! Putin agrees.
In Other News:
Nearly $500K to send Michelle, family to Africa Yes, this was last year. But just in case you forgot how “special” the Obamas are: “How much does it cost taxpayers to fly First Lady Michelle Obama, her two daughters and her mother, a niece and a nephew, a hairstylist and makeup artists to South Africa and Botswana to give a few speeches, meet Nelson Mandela, and enjoy a safari on a private game preserve? The Obama daughters were listed on the manifest as “senior staff.” (Shaka to Jan for the link.) Oh yeah, don’t forget Malia’s recent excellent Mexican adventure over Spring Break – with 11 of her BFFs and 25 Secret Service agents.
Former Obama Student: Obama’s Ignorance of Constitution Embarrassing Seriously? Someone actually went to a class Obama taught?? ”Oddly enough, Prof. Obama didn’t seem too concerned about “an unelected group of people” overturning a “duly constituted and passed law” when we were discussing all those famous Fourteenth Amendment cases – Roe v. Wade, Griswold v. Connecticut, Romer v. Evans, etc.)”
Obama administration diverts $500M to IRS to implement healthcare reform law – The Hill’s Healthwatch Obama is moving full steam ahead even though the monstrosity could be ruled null and void by SCOTUS. ”The Obama administration is quietly diverting roughly $500 million to the IRS to help implement the president’s healthcare law. The money is only part of the IRS’s total implementation spending, and it is being provided outside the normal appropriations process. The tax agency is responsible for several key provisions of the new law, including the unpopular individual mandate.”

Hump Day Report: Obamacare Judgment Day
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

HDR 200: 200? Wow!

Shout Out To Antonio Branco (Freedom's Battle) on this 200th HDR For Letting Me Use His Great Art!!!
ALOHA, ALL!!! Today’s HDR is a milestone – number 200! It seems like just yesterday that I started penning my thoughts, first in an email blast and now a blog. Hmm…I wonder how many times I’ve been turned into 0bama’s AttackWatch goons? Yet y’all keep on reading!!! Thanks to all of you for your continued support. We have a common goal: to turn this country around so we’re facing in the right direction again.
Not surprising, I’m traveling (again) today so this edition will be a series of “Quick Links” starting off with one of my faves…Dirty Harry Reid.
How Harry Reid Manufactured a Crisis Over Disaster Aid ”Listening to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) or reading The New York Times yesterday gave the impression that disaster relief victims were suffering from a lack of government aid. “Without additional funding,” Reid warned, “thousands of people who have lost literally everything they owned will be forced to go without food and shelter….So the agenda of the tax-and-spend crowd is now clear. President Obama created the problem by overusing FEMA on disasters a record 222 times so far this year where federal aid was not essential. Then liberals manufactured a crisis and exploited disaster relief victims in order to keep expanding the size of government. What’s worse is that the some members of the media played along with it.”
Why the DOJ Gave Up Its Delaying Tactics in the Obamacare Litigation ”It’s certainly possible that the Administration really believes its troubling legal theory that Congress can regulate practically anything, as long as some chaos-theory connection can be found between the desired government regulation and something in commerce—which means everything. But there are several other factors that made further government delay untenable.”
GOP lawmaker demands independent probe into Solyndra – The Hill’s E2-Wire ”A Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee is calling on the White House to appoint an independent investigator to examine the administration’s decision to approve a $535 million loan guarantee for a now-bankrupt solar company. Rep. Michael Burgess (R-Texas) said the Obama administration should have quickly appointed a special investigator to look into Solyndra, the failed California-based solar-panel manufacturer, after the company announced late last month it would file for bankruptcy and lay off 1,100 workers.”
‘Obama money’: Thought it couldn’t get any worse than Solyndra? – Common American Journal ”President Obama’s nominee for Commerce secretary served as chairman of the board of a solar energy company that recently received a $1.37 billion federal loan guarantee – the largest the Department of Energy has ever given for a solar power project. Now that company, BrightSource Energy, is to build the world’s largest solar power plant amid concerns such ventures may be too risky an investment for the federal government. In June, BrightSource Chairman John Bryson was nominated by Obama to head the Commerce Department.”
Solyndra’s Creditors Include California Democratic Party | Fox News ”Among the roughly 5,000 creditors named by Solyndra, a bankrupt solar energy company that is under investigation for losing a half billion dollars in federal loans, is the California Democratic Party, which says it doesn’t know why.”
Congress to Investigate Planned Parenthood Abortion Business | LifeNews.com ”A Congressional committee has taken the first steps in investigating the Planned Parenthood abortion business over abuses ranging from financial disparities to its compliance with federal regulations on taxpayer funding to concerns that it is covering up cases of sex trafficking.”
How About A Little Humor? (From The Patriot Post):
Obama at the Bank
Barack Obama walks into the bank to cash a check. “Good morning, Ma’am,” he greets the cashier, “could you please cash this check for me?”
“It would be my pleasure, sir. Could you please show me your ID?”
“Truthfully, I did not bring my ID with me as I didn’t think there was any need to. I am President Barack Obama, the president of the United States of America!”
“Yes, sir, I know who you are, but with all the regulations, monitoring of the banks because of impostors and forgers, etc, I must insist on seeing ID.”
“Just ask anyone here at the bank who I am and they will tell you. Everybody knows who I am.”
“I am sorry Mr. President but these are the bank rules and I must follow them.”
“I am urging you please to cash this check.”
“Ok, this is what we can do Mr. President: One day Tiger Woods came into the bank without ID. To prove he was Tiger Woods he pulled out his putting iron and made a beautiful shot across the bank into a cup. With that shot we knew him to be Tiger Woods and cashed his check. Another time, Andre Agassi came in without ID. He pulled out his tennis racquet and made a fabulous shot, making the tennis ball land in my cup. With that spectacular shot we cashed his check. So, Mr. President, what can you do to prove that it is you, and only you, as the president of the United States?”
Obama stands there thinking and finally says, “Honestly, there is nothing that comes to my mind. I can’t think of a single thing I’m good at.”
“Will that be large or small bills, Mr. President?”

ALOHA, ALL!! The media are all abuzz today with the Republican win in NY9. But some are trying to downplay it…calling it a local issue and insisting that it’s not a harbinger of things to come for Barack Obama in 2012. Really? That’s OK – keep your heads buried in the sand. But the most ridiculous spin came from my new favorite nitwit, Debbie Wasserman Schultz: Ridiculous NY-09 spin: “It’s a very difficult district for Democrats” « Hot Air Are you kidding me?????? A Republican has not held that seat since 1923. This is the district that spawned Gerladien Ferraro, Chuckie Schumer and of course, Anthony Weiner. Debbie, I’m so glad you’re Chair of the DNC – your outrageous and extremist thinking assure a GOP sweep in 2012.

Emails: Obama White House Monitored Huge Loan to ‘Connected’ Firm – ABC News ”As federal authorities examine whether Solyndra misled the government about its true financial state, the Obama White House is fielding fresh questions over why it pushed so hard for Solyndra.” NOTE – THIS IS FROM ABC NEWS!!!
Say What???? The internet is abuzz with this clip of Queen Michelle – can you read her lips? What did she say? I’m not a lip reader, but some think she’s saying “All that for folding a flag?” Then Barry nods in agreement. I’ve had it with these elitist poseurs!
Another Court Strikes Down Obamacare. Another Loss for Obamacare ”This afternoon, the District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania became the latest court to strike down the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act’s (Obamacare) individual mandate, holding that “[t]he power to regulate interstate commerce does not subsume the power to dictate a lifetime financial commitment to health insurance coverage.”
This Guy Must Be a Racist. BACON: Good intentions bring terrible results – Washington Times ”The do-gooders have all the best of intentions, of course. They just don’t pay attention to results. In the name of compassion, they keep blacks hooked on initiative-sapping welfare dependency. In the name of building the American dream, they promote homeownership for people who lack the financial wherewithal to keep up payments. In the name of equal opportunity, they dispense college loans to people who will never graduate. Lord, deliver us from those who would save us.” (Thanks to hubby for the link.)

HDR 182: Barack Obama’s Broken Record
ALOHA, ALL! Yes, you can take that title two ways: his record is broken AND he sounds like a broken record. Barry/Barack repeated the same old tired rhetoric Monday night in his prime-time speech. In fact, not a minute into the speech, he blamed Bush. Good grief, Barry! Don’t you know that trite meme isn’t working anymore, even with your peeps? (See below.) Who is writing your speeches, anyway? Some think there shouldn’t even be a debt-ceiling limit. What’s the purpose if all they keep doing is raising it anyhow? It’s an arbitrary number they seem to come up with and then increase when they need more money. It’s meaningless. Thomas Sowell agrees (thanks to Scott for the link): Debt-Ceiling Chicken. “Regardless of what it is supposed to do, what the national debt-ceiling actually does is enable any administration to get all the political benefits of runaway spending for the benefit of their favorite constituencies — and then invite the opposition party to share the blame, by either raising the national debt ceiling, or by voting for unpopular cutbacks in spending or increases in taxes.” Yep.
Then there’s this: Downgrade Could Come As Early As Friday “…the debt ceiling is actually a secondary condition to the ratings agencies. The problem, as they see it, is not that America can’t pay its debts next month, but that America has grown its debt to such a degree that we can’t pay them in the long run without serious restructuring of the federal government — and this administration refuses to consider it…” Yep.
Here’s an EXCELLENT analysis from The Heritage Foundation: Recovery Stalled After Obamacare Passed “Private-sector job creation initially recovered from the recession at a normal rate, leading to predictions last year of a “Recovery Summer.” Since April 2010, however, net private-sector job creation has stalled. Within two months of the passage of Obamacare, the job market stopped improving. This suggests that businesses are not exaggerating when they tell pollsters that the new health care law is holding back hiring.”
Survey says: 0bama Losing His Base “President Barack Obama is losing support from his base, according to a new Washington Post/ABC News poll released on Tuesday that finds his backing from liberals and African-Americans has plummeted. The percentage of liberal Democrats who strongly support the president’s job policies has dropped in the past year, from 53 percent to 31 percent, the poll shows. The falloff among blacks is even more stark: From 77 percent supporting his record on the economy last year to just over 50 percent in 2011.”
Those racist Tea Partiers! Black Tea Party Members to Protest NAACP “The black-led South Central L.A. Tea Party (whose motto is “Power to the People”) is reportedly planning a protest against the NAACP at the organization’s 102nd annual convention in Los Angeles on July 24….“The NAACP is a tool of the Obama administration,” Peterson said. He added, “For decades this group has supported left-wing policies which have created dependency, destroyed black families and hurt race relations.” OOPS!!!
This should make your blood boil! Texas Court Clerk Faces Jail Time Over Pledge of Allegiance, Prayer “Last week, Natalie Nichols, a County Clerk in Bowie, stood up to a judge and refused to erase the pledge and prayer from the official minutes of the county commissioner’s meeting. For standing on principle, she could end up paying a fine, or even go to jail.” The picture is me and Natalie at last year’s Smart Girl Summit in Washington DC. I had met Natalie before at a meeting in Dallas. I can tell you from personal experience that she is an intelligent, dedicated, determined individual whose sense of “right and wrong” is spot-on. Just watch the video in the above link of her appearance on Fox News. “If I need to go to jail for standing up this country and for God, I will do so,” she told Fox News in an interview Monday morning. “A lot of people bled and died for this country, I’m risking a little bit of jail time. I’m okay with that.” If you’re so inclined, here’s Natalie’s website: Natalie Nichols Go there and tell her you support her!
Another one bites the dust. Congressman in Sex Scandal Resigns “Representative David Wu, a Democrat from Oregon, has announced that he is resigning in the wake of allegations that he had engaged in unwanted sexual activity with a teenage daughter of a donor.” What is it with these guys?????
The Patriot Post voted this Barack 0bama’s best speech ever. I agree!
Ah yes….look what Democrat policies have done. Government Welfare Widens the Wealth Gap “Starting in 1964, when President Johnson launched the War on Poverty, a well-intentioned crusade to end poverty, the U.S. has spent an estimated $16 trillion trying to help the less well-off. LBJ and other well-meaning Democratic politicians at the time also hoped that the burgeoning welfare state would make people more self-sufficient, a noble goal. It didn’t work.”
A shameless plug: Check out the July issue of Smart Girl Nation. Some great articles in there and you may recognize the editor
I’m privileged to be participating in another blogger call today. This time, it’s with Darrell Issa (CA) and Blake Farenthold (TX), along with Cathy McMorris Rodgers. I’ll get the scoop on the “Fast & Furious” investigation and report in the next issue of the HDR.
