In an interview with cheerleading pump-monkey Brian William’s of NBC yesterday, Barack Obama attempted to answer the question, “is ya  a Moslem, or not?”

Williams, sitting under a tent in a rain-soaked New Orleans, where the First Family commemorated the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, asked Obama why so many people were uncertain about something so fundamental as his faith.

“I can’t spend all of my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead,” quipped Obama, who took a deep breath to gather his thoughts when asked if the poll reflected his inability to communicate with voters.

According to GM ’s books, the car company made a profit in the first quarter of this year and the second profitable quarter in a row:

GM reported net earnings of $1.3bn for the three months to June 30 – its second consecutive profitable quarter, and its best since 2004. The carmaker is preparing for an initial public offering that will allow the US and Canadian governments to begin recouping the $60bn of taxpayer aid paid since 2008.

This would be good news if it wasn’t all a load of steaming, diseased bullshit. Just look at the timing, the inital IPO is today and yesterday GM announced it made a record profit? It’s nearly TOO good to be true. And you know what they say when something is too good to be true…

What GM announced yesterday is that they are masters of money shuffling. Kind of like the way they duped the public into believing it paid back $5 billion of taxpayers money a few months ago. GM gets $60 billion from the US and Canadian gov’t’s, socks away $5 billion it didn’t give to the unions, and when it comes time to pay back the money, BAMM!!, look at us, we’re a company that keeps its word!!! Good times are here again!! We’re doing so well, LOVE ME!!!!

Here’s what GM didn’t mention yesterday: they are paying ZERO dividends on common stock that TAXPAYERS’ funded, AND they are making NO debt payments. Previous lenders to GM were raped and pillaged and all their assets STOLEN by Obama and his commie gang of thugs and liars, while the stolen cash money was distributed to GM union scum. Look at all the people (grandmothers and grandfathers, cripples, etc) who lost their life savings, all so Obama could secure the union vote.

So all that cash was *free* and didn’t have to be paid back. How could GM NOT show a profit? It would be impossible.

All this is is massive corruption on a scale we’ve never seen before. This was and is theft, plain and simple. Theft to pay off the unions and to prop up an unsustainable business model. It’s sick and people should hang from trees for what they have perpetrated.

And now we are told by those frothing lapdog scumbags of the msm that not only is this GM profit an AMAZING thing for the universe, but that the resignation of Ed Whitacre is further proof that GM is doing just swell. How is the President of a corporation resigning ONE DAY before his company’s IPO a GOOD thing? How is that even possible? It’s not. Shareholders are looking for stability, quitting a day before an IPO is insanity and usually the death knell for any company. However, in today’s black is white, up is down, Milli is Vanilli world we live in, this is a a great thing.

Let’s not kid ourselves, Whitacre is leaving because he doesn’t want to captain a sinking pirate ship. Whitacre doesn’t want his name associated with GM any longer. He looks like a hero now, but in a few years when the truth leaks out about GM and its practises, Whitacre wants to be as far away as he can be. Whitacre was part of the scam, but he couldn’t take it any longer, that’s all.

Do not buy GM. Ever. Boycott them to the day you die. Tell everyone you know the GM story, if they want to buy GM, shame and mock them. GM needs to be put down like a horse with a broken leg. Do not support these socialist dirtbags.

Sometimes, not everything is as it seems. For instance, take a good look at the debate over Arizona’s Immigration Bill SB1070. Late last week, Susan Bolton granted an injunction halting the enforcement of key provisions of the Arizona immigration enforcement law. On the surface, you would think that would be a crushing blow to those that support Bill SB1070 (it’s as if the SB part of the bill stands for *Susan Bolton* – hmmmm) and a victory for the Obama Administration. But The Mayor is telling you that is not how things are turning out.

The Obama administration threw its support in with the anti-SB1070 crowd to shore up the Latino vote. With Obama’s poll numbers going down quicker than Lindsay Lohan at a prisoner meet-and-greet, the Obamaites thought it wise to be on the side with the folks that brought him to the dance. Not a bad idea. But like all of Obama’s ideas, it is turning out to be an unmitigated disaster.

Funny thing, it turns out that Americans aren’t actually in favour of illegal immigration like the President is. At last look, about 63% of Americans are in favour of SB1070, while less than 30% support it, while the remainder of those polled cannot remember their first names or where they live.

To make matters worse, not only is Obama seen as weak on immigration, this is a topic that will stick around EVERY DAY until the November election. Every single day you will be bombarded with stories about the Arizona Law; sure, you may not see these stories on the msm, as they will be too busy covering the explosive Breitbart controversy, or the endless coverage about how racist the Tea Party is (as well as Sarah Palin) – but there will be plenty of news about Arizona’s Immigration Law. And every time something is written, another reminder of how weak Obama is will come to every single persons mind.

Had the msm been doing its job – covering up these types of topics that prove embarrassing to the President – we wouldn’t have heard things like, “Mexican’s take over parts of Arizona“, or, “Illegal aliens are killing more Americans than the Iraq war“, or even “how many illegal immigrants are there really in the US” (about 30 million – but don’t worry, they’re all contributing to the economy and America’s social fabric, dontchaknow).

But now the things we were told are not true are turning out to be deadly true. Things we might not have heard before are being screamed from the rooftops. Articles that would never have been written as little as a year ago are suddenly deemed as mainstream. Information didn’t just leak out, it poured out. It’s the way things should always have been.

Obama is feeling the heat and has responded as only he knows how – by showing up on daytime TV to explain how great he really is. Last week he was on The View (Reuter’s said it was *historic* – as in, important) to mingle with the peasants. I’m sure in between talking about the price of arugula and the needle count of his bed sheets, Obama can explain to Oprah or Maury, or whatever other chick show he’s on, how evil the Arizona Immigration Law is. He’s a really smart guy, any JournoLIST will tell ya!

The following are some of the tax increases that are scheduled to go into effect in 2011…. 

1 – The lowest bracket for the personal income tax is going to increase from 10 percent to 15 percent.

2 – The next lowest bracket for the personal income tax is going to increase from 25 percent to 28 percent.

3 – The 28 percent tax bracket is going to increase to 31 percent.

4 – The 33 percent tax bracket is going to increase to 36 percent.

5 – The 35 percent tax bracket is going to increase to 39.6 percent.

6 – In 2011, the death tax is scheduled to return.  So instead of paying zero percent, estates of $1 million or more are going to be taxed at a rate of 55 percent.

7 – The capital gains tax is going to increase from 15 percent to 20 percent.

8 – The tax on dividends is going to increase from 15 percent to 39.6 percent.

9 – The “marriage penalty” is also scheduled to be reinstated in 2011. 

It is being estimated that the total cost of these tax increases to U.S. taxpayers will be $2.6 trillion through the year 2020.

**Here is how the Obama administration is framing the looming tax increases: “This week, the administration also repeated its intention to let tax cuts for the wealthy expire in January.”

In other news, according to Barack Obama, you are now all officially rich.

Feels good, don’t it?

A new bill backed by the Obama White House would require all businesses to provide to the government data about employee pay as it relates to the sex, race and national origin of employee’s:

In an orchestrated effort that included a statement by President Barack Obama and an event at the White House featuring Vice President Joe Biden, Attorney General Eric Holder and Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, the president and his cabinet endorsed the Paycheck Fairness Act.
 
The House approved the act in 2009, but the Senate did not approve it. In the 111th Congress, both the House and the Senate have offered legislation that covers a wide range of workplace requirements and regulations, including training girls and women to become better at negotiating pay and benefits, and the establishment of a data base of U.S. workers’ pay in both the public and private sector.

The White House’s official line is that this bill is needed in order to achieve true pay equity among the sexes:

“Women make up nearly half of all workers on U.S. payrolls, and two-thirds of families with children are headed either by two working parents or by a single parent who works,” Biden said.
 
“Yet, the workplace has, for the most part, not changed to reflect these realities – and it must. Closing the gender pay gap, helping parents keep their jobs while balancing family responsibilities, and increasing workplace flexibility – these are not only women’s issues, they are issues of middle class economic security,” he said.

One thing American businesses need at this time; even more than relief from crushing taxes, a wealth destroying depression, and having zero access to any type of small business loans; even more than that, businesses need and want the government to step in and address the issue of “increasing workplace flexibility” and “helping families balance their responsibilities”.

Thank goodness for the forward-thinking Obama administration.

So this bill is all about pay equity, yes? Hahaha, surely you jest:

In a statement issued on Tuesday, Obama said it was discrimination in the workplace that is harming the economy and American families.
 
“Yet, even in 2010, women make only 77 cents for every dollar that men earn. The gap is even more significant for working women of color, and it affects women across all education levels,” the statement said.

You see, it’s not wealth destroying personal and business taxes that are harming American families, or even insane and ill-advised government policies – it’s not even the absolute crippling deficits that are going to be thrust upon your children and great grandchildren: it’s workplace pay discrimination that’s the problem.

How will the government “fix” this? Simple – by opening up the books of every single business in America and MANDATING them to pay the EXACT same amount to each employee, no matter if those employees that make less are stupid, slow, retarded, illegal, uneducated or disabled.

Joleelo the cashier, who is blind in one eye and can’t see in the other, and can only do 1/3 of the work that the white devil Fred can, will now make the same as Fred. Fred’s ability be damned, Joleelo has 8 kids to feed.

Employers are not allowed to ask about race, sex or national origin when hiring an employee, but now they will be forced to supply the government with that information, even though technically they are not suppose to know it. Gawd help an employer who tells the government that Steve is a Native Indian when Steve is actually from Mainland China. Hell, Steve may be a chick.

It won’t stop there, of course, it never does and literally can’t. Next the government will want to know why the Piggly Wiggly has 14 employee’s, but only two are black, only one is a lesbian and only one has a limp. That isn’t a true representation of American society. Even if that Piggly Wiggly IS in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where the last African American spotted there was back in 1983. Too bad, Wiggly, pay the fine and move along.

This bill is yet another bone thrown to the snarling mutt trial lawyers that helped that halfrican American President roll up to power a year and a half back. This will be a BOON for trial lawyers. Sue, sue, sue.

Another nail in the coffin for American business.

Media tycoon Mort Zuckerman, who recently admitted writing Barack Obama’s speeches in the past, has come out with an article, “Obama is Barely Treadiong Water“, in which Zuckerman criticizes Obama from the state of the economy, to healthcare, to everything in between. Among Zuckerman’s rants:

The hope that fired up the election of Barack Obama has flickered out, leaving a national mood of despair and disappointment. Americans are dispirited over how wrong things are and uncertain they can be made right again. Hope may have been a quick breakfast, but it has proved a poor supper. A year and a half ago Obama was walking on water. Today he is barely treading water. Then, his soaring rhetoric enraptured the nation. Today, his speeches cannot lift him past a 45 percent approval rating.

There is a widespread feeling that the government doesn’t work, that it is incapable of solving America’s problems. Americans are fed up with Washington, fed up with Wall Street, fed up with the necessary but ill-conceived stimulus program, fed up with the misdirected healthcare program, and with pretty much everything else. They are outraged and feel that the system is not a level playing field, but is tilted against them. The millions of unemployed feel abandoned by the president, by the Democratic Congress, and by the Republicans.

 

Republicans are benefiting not because they have a credible or popular program—they don’t—but because they are not Democrats. In a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC poll, nearly two thirds of those who favor Republican control of Congress say they are motivated primarily by opposition to Obama and Democratic policy. Disapproval of Congress is so widespread, a recent Gallup poll suggests, that by a margin of almost two to one, Americans would rather vote for a candidate with no experience than for an incumbent. Throw the bums out is the mood. How could this have happened so quickly?

The fundamental problem is starkly simple: jobs and the deepening fear among the public that the American dream is vanishing before their eyes. The economy’s erratic improvement has helped Wall Street but has brought little support to Main Street. Some 6.8 million people have been unemployed in the last year for six months or longer. Their valuable skills are at risk, affecting their economic productivity for years to come. Add to this despairing army the large number of those only partially employed and those who have given up their search for work, and we have cumulative totals in the tens of millions.

It is clear that the magical moment of Obama’s campaign conveyed a spell that is now broken in the context of the growing public disillusionment. Obama’s rise has been spectacular, but so too has been his fall.

There’s a lot of paragraphs I left out, but you get the general idea – Obama isn’t Zuckerman’s bff any more.

The Mayor isn’t actually sure what Zuckerman is complaining about. Zuckerman wasn’t lied to by Obama years ago when he was writing his speeches, Zuckerman was one of the media entities that actually created Obama and his lies. It was filth like Zuckerman that wrote the lies that Obama spoke in his leg-tingling speeches. Zuckerman knew what the American public wanted to hear, and even though he knew NOTHING about Obama (or perhaps he did, which makes it 1000x worse for Zuckerman), he had no trouble bald-face lying to the American public through his puppet Obama.

Obama isn’t a liar, he’s actually been rather truthful for a politician. Obama is a socialist and governs as a socialist. The Mayor knew Obama was a socialist (although The Mayor actually thinks Obama is a communist) before he was elected, you knew Obama was a socialist before he was elected, EVERYONE with a pulse knew Obama was a socialist. YET, Zuckerman wrote those speeches that made Obama seem like a moderate. Is that Obama’s fault or Zuckerman’s? Or both. More importantly, if you were to hang Obama or Zuckerman for treason, which one do you think should swing first? Decisions, decisions.

I’m not sure why Zuckerman is upset at Obama’s health care “reform”, liberals like Zuckerman have been fighting for this exact “reform” for decades upon decades. Now he has it, so what’s the problem? Zuckerman is upset about the stimulus but agrees with the nature of stimulus, quoting, “Americans are fed up with Washington, fed up with Wall Street, fed up with the necessary but ill-conceived stimulus program”. Zuckerman admits the massive, pork-laden slush-fund stimulus was necessary, but doesn’t agree with how it was administered. That’s semantics.

Zuckerman knew well in advance that Obama attended a church where the bigot Wright was Minister. That didn’t bother Zuckerman. Zuckerman knew that Obama’s wife hated America and openly said as much. That didn’t bother Zuckerman. Zuckerman knew Obama was influenced by commies like Alinsky, hung around terrorists like Bill Ayers, and the convicted felon Antoin Rezko. That didn’t bother Zuckerman.

But now that Obama’s poll numbers have completely tanked and the Demonrats are going to get their collective asses served to them on a platter come November, NOW Zuckerman is upset?

Fuck you, Zuckerman. YOU’RE the problem.

YOU created this mess, it’s YOUR head that should roll. You can’t play both sides of a coin, and that’s what this little puke is trying to do. He tried to con America into believing his lies, and now that things have gone sideways the douchebag is trying to cover his ass.

Nun uh.

Zuckerman has NO solutions to any of the problems HE created and now he’s trying to blame Obama. It won’t work. The day of reckoning is coming near, and Zuckerman knows it. When the day finally comes, I hope to hell there is no mercy for pieces of shit like this guy.

From Gizmodo:

Estimates of how much of BP’s oil is gushing into the gulf each day range from 25,000 to 40,000 barrels’ worth a day. Here’s what the low end of that looks like stacked to the heavens.

The animation was made using the Unreal Development Kit, and simulates 25,000 barrels stacked 15,000 feet into the air, then collapsing group by group.

All of that. Full of oil. Every day.

Yup, the oil leak still continues, and Obama still can’t find whose ass to kick over this. He couldn’t find the ass to kick at his 10 minute, $1 million speach in Ohio yesterday, and he couldn’t find it at the Nationals game he attended last night after being flown back specifically for it by Air Force 1 ($100,000 an hour).

Lots of asses, none worthy enough to be kicked. Oh, Tony Hayward handed over operations to someone else, so maybe Tony’s ass has Obama’s girlie footprint on it. Who really knows.

Maybe Obama will kick some ass playing hoops tomorrow, or he might find some derrier on the links tomorrow afternoon. Perhaps the star-studded gala in his honour tomorropw night might have a few choice bums.

Time will tell, and it seems we have an endless amount of time to find out.

Meanwhile in the Gulf…

Drill, Baby, drill!

It seems that every other day, The Mayor reads something in the newspaper that says how “angry” and “furious” Oilbama is about something or other to do with the BP spill. Yesterday I saw a video where Oibama said he wanted to know “whose ass to kick”. Yesterday was day 49 since the oil spill – 52 million gallons leaked and counting – and Oilbama still doesn’t know whose ass to kick.

I’m sure Oilbama’s faux bravado inspires his insane leftie base, and also sends chills and thrills up the various body parts of the msm, but when all is said and done, would you rather have a  President who is so overheated with anger that he wants to “kick someones ass”, or a President who is calm and collected, someone who is reasonable enough to work with BP to find solutions to the biggest environmental disaster America has ever seen?

The BP spill occurred in federal waters. It is the federal government that is responsible for this spill (I also understand the role each individual state has), but it is up to the Feds to come up with solutions to fix that damn hole. All the amount of posturing, screaming, faux anger and delicious soundbites to the state-controlled media is not going to help one bit. All Oilbama’s anger and posturing tells The Mayor is that Oilbama doesn’t have control of the situation, he lacks clarity and is projecting his weakness by lashing out at anyone who is in front of him. And that’s bloody sad. That’s not what the world needs right now. I say “world”, because now this is a world problem.

Day 44

46 million gallons of oil spilled to date.

Why aren’t there images of washed up dolphins and marine life littering my TV screen like there was after the Exxon Valdez spill?

As of today, BP/Oilbama’s spill is four times bigger than the Exxon Valdez spill, is it not?

This is the biggest environmental disaster in American history, isn’t it?

Why did it take Oilbama 37 days before he called a press conference to discuss the biggest environmental disaster in US history?

Oilbama could have declared the BP spill a national emergency back in April, but didn’t. Why?

Why does Oilbama hate the environment so much?

Day 37 of the BP oil gusher, 40 million gallons of oil spilled to date (conservative estimate), and what was Obama up to last night? That’s the $17,600 question:

Those dining with Obama were treated to quail egg with caviar and salmon ceviche with jicama and avocado on a tortilla chip as their starting hors d’oeuvres. Next they were served a spring onion-asparagus tartlet with Meyer lemon vinaigrette-dressed frisee salad. The main course was braised Kobe beef short ribs with potato puree and a salsa verde-topped spring vegetable ragout. And the evening was topped off with buckwheat crepes with roasted cherries and almond ice cream.

That is the equivalent of fiddling while Rome burned.

Obama is scheduled to make an appearance in the Gulf tomorrow, the second time there since the BP disaster occurred 37 days ago. To date, I haven’t heard if Sean Penn has made an appearance there, or whether Hollywood will be throwing a *Gulf Get Better* concert any time soon. Animal rights activists seem to be pretty quiet, and the left, sans James Carville and a few Senators and congresscritters up for election come November, seem to be rather quiet, too. No word on what Kanye West has to say.

Obama is “angry and frustrated” over the whole ordeal, and is blowing off steam by shooting hoops, playing golf and eating $17,600 meals with Barbara Boxer. The spill has even caused concern with Obama’s daughter:

Even his daughter, Malia, prods him on the matter, he said, recounting her popping her head into the bathroom while he was shaving in the morning to ask: “Did you plug the hole yet, Daddy?”

Barack had to tell his daughter that no, the hole hasn’t been plugged yet. Keep in mind, he thought she was talking about the hole in the border between Mexico and Arizona.

No one expects Obama to put on a pair of gloves and get down to the Gulf and start cleaning seagulls, as a matter of fact, I’m not even sure there is much he can do about any of this. But it’s the optics that are a real bitch. Instead of meeting with the families of the dead rig workers and giving them his heartfelt condolences, Obama’s shooting hoops and chuckling it up. Instead of getting down to the Gulf ASAP to see the damage and get first-hand accounts of the mess, he took 10 days to get down there. He had just his SECOND press conference in a year today, the first one since this disaster happened. Imagine, this is the biggest environmental disaster in America’s history, and Obama took 37 days to call a news conference to explain what’s going on.

Shifting blame to GWB and blaming BP every day is not helping either. Obama has had 15 months to correct any policy flaws GW and company had, to retro blame a guy who hasn’t been in office for a year and a half, well, that’s just poor and looks terrible. Also keep in mind that the Obama Administration signed off on the permit that said it was safe for BP to drill for oil in the gulf and that everything was up to inspection. Blaming BP on a daily basis is sad, too. Instead of “putting your foot on their necks”, the administration should be working with BP; finding solutions, and trying to minimize the damage as best they can.

This whole bloody disaster has turned into another blame big oil game. An opportunity for the socialists in power to come down hard on “big oil”. To impose new taxes. To appease the fanatic left and put a halt to offshore drilling. To preach the “alternative energy” doctrine.

Never allow a crisis to go to waste.

And we’re always in crisis.
