Looking the other way and dismissing the crisis: Hope and change the Obama way

We already know some of the answers to what went on with Sestak, Clinton, Obama and his continuing to use lies, deception and subversion. To bring about the 'hope and change' he promised during his run for the White House in 2008, Obama has no choice as he knows no other way.


"Considering the president’s history, it’s completely feasible to assume that that he’s using a Supreme Court appointment to assure that a trusted political ally Elena Kagan is in place to protect his healthcare legislation when it comes before the High Court, according to Judicial Watch."


Speaking of Kagan. she will be there to protect more than just Obamacare. She will use the SCOTUS to legislate from the bench and ignore the law of the land, our Constituion.

Lawmakers demand investigation of Obama White House
Jim Kouri

Examiner.com: "We’re looking to fundamentally change the status quo in Washington. It’s a status quo that extends beyond any particular party, and right now that status quo is fighting back with everything it’s got, with the same old tactics that divide and distract us from solving the problems people face…we’re up against the idea that it’s acceptable to say anything and do anything to win an election.” – Candidate Barack Obama, Night of the South Carolina Democrat Primary

Rep.Darrell Issa (R-CA) claims that an offer of a judgeship was made and that Obama's Press Secretary [Robert] Gibbs corroborated that such an offer had been made. Issa, the top Republican on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has called for a full investigation of the Obama White House's role in what he believes is a serious violation of federal law.

Lawmakers are asking the following questions regarding a job offer made to Rep. Joe Sestak of Pennsylvania if he would drop out of his primary race against Senator Arlen Specter. According to Rep. Darrell Issa, some questions submitted to White House counsel Robert Bauer included:
* Who on the White House staff discussed the 2010 Senate race with Sestak?

* Who communicated the job offer to Sestak?

* Have the allegations ever been investigated?

* Will the U.S. Department of Justice be directed to conduct a full investigation?

On the heels of President Obama’s alleged effort to bribe a Pennsylvania congressman with a government job, a Washington insider reveals that the commander-in-chief unscrupulously tried using a federal judgeship to resolve an internal White House political problem, according to Judicial Watch, a public-interest group that investigates political corruption

According to Judicial Watch, in the hopes of avoiding an impending scandal, Obama offered his first White House counsel, Gregory Craig, a federal judgeship in exchange for his resignation. An Ivy League graduate who worked for Ted Kennedy and represented Bill Clinton during his MonicaGate impeachment trial, Craig declined the offer and was subsequently ousted from his White House position.

Craig's removal was due in large part to Obama's dissatisfaction over his handling of Guantanamo policy, according to published reports, and he was replaced by President Obama's personal attorney Robert Bauer.

Craig's firing made national headlines and caused an uproar among the administration’s crucial far-left base, which accused Obama of dumping Craig "for doing his job too well."

However, just like the Black Panther election scandal case, where the guilt was undeniable, this Administration will look the other way and dismiss the case. There will be no special prosecutor, no trial,and no investigation. As is common in the past, the elite media will assist Obama by burying the story or actually aiding in a political cover up.

The behind-the-scenes narrative of Obama’s first year in office points the finger at Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel for getting rid of Craig, who the president called a “close friend and trusted advisor.” Emanuel is famous for his statement, "Never let a good crisis go to waste," and his "Chicago-style" politics.

Eventually, the beleaguered Wall Street bank Goldman Sacks hired Craig — now in private practice at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom

Earlier this year Obama tried swaying a popular Pennsylvania congressman, Joe Sestak, to drop out of the U.S. Senate race so the incumbent, Arlen Specter, wouldn’t be challenged in the state’s Democratic primary today.

In a television interview Sestak revealed that the Obama White House offered him a top federal job to help secure Specter’s Democrat Party nomination. Specter switched political parties -- leaving the GOP -- and has lost last Tuesday to the leftist Democrat Rep. Sestak.

A five-term incumbent, Specter switched last spring after giving Obama the critical vote for his disastrous and fraud-infested $787 billion stimulus program. Before Specter bailed on Republicans Obama assured the contentious lawmaker he’d do everything in his power to help him win reelection if he switched parties.

Considering the president’s history, it’s completely feasible to assume that that he’s using a Supreme Court appointment to assure that a trusted political ally Elena Kagan is in place to protect his healthcare legislation when it comes before the High Court, according to Judicial Watch.

Rep.Darrell Issa (R-CA) claims that an offer of a judgeship was made and that Obama's Press Secretary Gibbs corroborated that such an offer had been made.

Party Crasher picture of the day!

I have purposely avoided coverage

of the Party Crashgate issue, and now

BIG problem for the White House.It

has been very well covered by other

sites and media. BUT, I could not

resist posting this picture here for

your enjoyment. Obama is now in

damage control and will circumvent

this crisis illegally. Just like he has

circumvented the Constitution since

he entered office almost one year ago.

So where is that darn Birth Certificate,

Mullah Obamaham?

Thanks to the Snooper Report which is an excellent blog. Please check it out!

Patriot Post: Alexander's Essay. On Obama's BIGGEST LIE. The liar and thief in the White House just keeps on getting better and better.

What an excellent read! Obama
has the nerve to insult the
American people, again about
increasing our national debt.
Who is really responsible for this
massive increase in debt? You know
the answer and if you do not, then
please, read on. Debt, bankrolled by
massive loans from the Chinese. No
wonder they were laughing at Obama
on his visit to China. Maybe Obama
should look here for better luck before

his next visit abroad.

Alexander's Essay – November 19, 2009




The BIGGEST LIE Yet

"It is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth -- and listen to the song of that siren, till she transforms us into beasts. ... For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it might cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it." --Patrick Henry

Sometimes the biggest lies come under cover of a truth.

What Obama does best!

Such was the case this week, when Barack Hussein Obama proffered this observation about deficits: "I think it is important, though, to recognize if we keep on adding to the debt, even in the midst of this recovery, that at some point, people could lose confidence in the U.S. economy in a way that could actually lead to a double-dip recession."

"Keep on adding to the debt"? From this, one might conclude that Obama has never suggested such a thing, and is truly concerned about deficits.

His revelation came amid discussion of tax reductions engineered to increase employment, as if our Constitution has a provision for that, anymore than for Obama's other proposals.

Obama is feigning concern about deficits now that there is discussion of tax cuts, which he concludes would increase deficits.

"At some point, people could lose confidence in the U.S. economy"? Like the Red Chinese, who hold more U.S. government debt than any other nation ($800 billion), and upon whom we are depending to fund more of our debt. No coincidence that Obama's remarks were made while on his most recent appeasement tour in Beijing.

"Even in the midst of this recovery"? What recovery?

Do we want freedom as laid down

by the Founding Fathers and the Constitution

OR socialism, led by Obama and the

demosocialistacrats?

Oh, the one that his $787 billion "hope-n-change" big-government payout package was supposed to ensure?

At the time of that proposal, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office offered this summary: "In the longer run, the [Obama] legislation would result in a slight decrease in gross domestic product compared with CBO's baseline economic forecast." Put another way, the CBO static scoring projected that Obama's big government pork giveaway would hinder economic recovery. Dynamic scoring by economists shows a much worse destiny.

But Obama warned, "If nothing is done, this recession might linger for years. Unemployment will approach double digits. Our nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, we may not be able to reverse."

Now, after a quick assessment of the Obama Recovery through October, one is stuck with the conclusion that his spending spree has resulted in 10.2 percent unemployment -- except, of course, in such places as Washington, DC, where government jobs are immune to recession.

That would be double-digit unemployment -- so now you know why Obama cleverly framed his recovery program in terms of jobs "created or saved." His administration announced that through October, the American Recovery Act had "created" or "saved" 640,329 jobs. However, a growing number of skeptics, even among his once-adoring media, found some very questionable accounting methods used to come up with that figure.

Asked about some of the discrepancies, Obama's Recovery Czar, Ed Pound, responded, "Who knows, man, who really knows?"

Recovery reality check: Remember when Obama claimed, "This is our moment, this is our time to turn the page on the policies of the past, to offer a new direction"?

That is a reference to Obama's v Reagan's policies, big government solutions v. free enterprise solutions.

Ronald Reagan's economic policies unleashed an unprecedented period of growth, which continued right up until the financial sector collapse in '08, a calamity resulting from policies implemented during the Clinton years, which undermined the values of derivatives used as collateral due. Those policies, as we now know, gave license for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to back high-risk loans to unqualified buyers, thereby setting the stage for the subprime mortgage meltdown and the crash of 2008.

Recall that in 2005, Sen. John McCain sponsored the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act, saying, "For years I have been concerned about the regulatory structure that governs Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ... and the sheer magnitude of these companies and the role they play in the housing market. ... If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole."

McCain noted that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac regulators concluded that profits were "illusions deliberately and systematically created by the company's senior management."

McCain was right, but Democrats, including Barney Frank, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, ensured that nothing would be done to alter current practices at Fannie and Freddie. "These two entities ... are not facing any kind of financial crisis," Frank said at the time.

The net result of the derivative dilution was a crisis of confidence in the U.S. economy, second only to that which led to the Great Depression.

Remember when Obama claimed, "We are fundamentally transforming the United States of America"? Well, we're in mid-transformation, and how are things looking now?

Obama also said, "Generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was our time."

Indeed, his time to saddle them and their children with unprecedented debt, not only from his "stimulus" folly, but next up, ObamaCare, and then his job-killing cap-and-tax scheme.

If you think you can count on the administration's estimates of the true cost of ObamaCare, think again. The Washington Times recently reminded us of the estimated cost of Medicare shortly after Democrats implemented it in 1965. Then, it was predicted to cost $12 billion by 1990. In actuality, it cost $98 billion, which is to say the original estimate was short by more than a factor of seven.

In my home state of Tennessee, we've already been there and done that. Our state's version of ObamaCare, known as TennCare, implemented by Democrats in 1994 ostensibly to contain healthcare expenses, has quickly grown to consume more than a third of state revenues.

The CBO now says that the $1 trillion estimated cost of ObamaCare is "subject to substantial uncertainty." How's that for qualifying understatement?

As for the big picture, U.S. National Debt topped the $12 trillion mark this week, or approximately $39,000 for every man, woman and child in America, and the federal deficit that Obama now pretends to be concerned about hit a record high $1.42 trillion for fiscal year 2009.

Obama's administration projects that the national debt will top $14 trillion by this time next year, and my sense is that they're being modest. At the current pace, within 10 years our national debt will exceed our Gross Domestic Product.

Of these staggering debt figures, Obama now claims, "I intend to take serious steps to reduce America's long-term deficit because debt-driven growth cannot fuel America's long-term prosperity."

But, what's his real endgame?

We can be certain that Obama's solution to deficits will not be less government. Instead, it will be unprecedented tax increases, a.k.a., socialist redistribution of wealth, a.k.a., "the fundamental transformation of America."

The Tax Foundation now estimates that to offset deficits, "Federal income tax rates would have to be nearly tripled across the income spectrum," with the lowest bracket at 27 percent and the highest at 95. Even the CBO estimates that rates would have to exceed 80 percent, and that's before state and local taxes.

Comrades!

Do you get the picture, folks?

Obama will succeed in his effort to socialize the U.S. economy, using the tax code as his hammer and sickle, unless growing ranks of Americans object to the fact that he has no constitutional authority to do so.


In the meantime, Patriots, keep your powder dry.

This is a CNN article. Most Americans believ Iran wnats nuclear weapons, Duh!

Most Americans think Iran wants nuclear weapons, poll says - CNN.com

We should have wasted Iran a long time ago. At the very least,
the nuclear facilities before they were secured inside mountains
and buried deeply underground.
