On June 18, 2010, Arizona Republican Senator Jon Kyl told the audience at a North Tempe Tea Party town hall meeting that during a private, one-on-one meeting with President Obama in the Oval Office, the President told him, regarding securing the southern border with Mexico, “The problem is, . . . if we secure the border, then you all won’t have any reason to support ‘comprehensive immigration reform.’” [Audible gasps were heard throughout the audience.] Sen. Kyl continued, “In other words, they’re holding it hostage. They don’t want to secure the border unless and until it is combined with ‘comprehensive immigration reform.’”
If only the liberals thought the illegals would become Republicans, we'd have a border fence within a year.

Obama and Benito Mussolini
Is Obama, Mussolini?
Strong arming $20 Billion from private enterprise. Clearly un-Constitutional. Judge, jury, and executioner in one shot. He fires the GM CEO. With the help of a leftist judge, Obama ignores contract law and strong arms bondholders. Obamacare. Porkulus.
We've got one shot at saving our Republic on November 2, 2010. Otherwise the greatness America as founded, will die.
Worst President in history. First American Dictator.

Great GOP Ad
This is a great ad. Really drives home the point how much Obama sucks. This is what happens when you vote for liberals.

Where's the Leadership?
Is it just me or do we have a personal injury attorney pretending to President?
No leadership. No accountability. Just blame, threats, bigger government, and more taxes.
He flat out lied when he said we are running out of places to drill. We have plenty of land and closer to shore (non deep) drilling left untapped.
This is what happens when you elect liberals, especially those unqualified for the job.

Obama Administration Trying Game Unemployment Numbers
Obama administration is looking to game the unemployment numbers by turning the 411,000 census workers to permanent government jobs. Wonder where the private sector jobs will come from in order to support 411,000 more deadbeats?
snip - Federal hiring rules quietly eased and adjusted by the Obama Administration over the past year will further enable the administration to place those temporary workers, according to the White House source. For example, the Obama Administration has cut back the number of forms job seekers must fill out, ended the practice of a skills and knowledge essay, allowed the hiring process to take place with only the use of a résumé and writing samples, and, perhaps most important, eased hiring rules based on the "most qualified" requirement, so that less experienced prospective employees might be hired over better qualified or more experienced competitors.

Gulf Oil Spill Makes Obama Whine
Obama explains that his opponents would have fought him if he had pre-emptively cracked down on BP. From JustOneMinute:
In an interview with POLITICO, the president said: “I think it’s fair to say, if six months ago, before this spill had happened, I had gone up to Congress and I had said we need to crack down a lot harder on oil companies and we need to spend more money on technology to respond in case of a catastrophic spill, there are folks up there, who will not be named, who would have said this is classic, big-government overregulation and wasteful spending.”
Wow. Of course,others would have criticized the President for taking his eye off of the vital effort to reform healthcare. And speaking of which, if the goal of Obama's Presidency is to avoid criticism and confrontation (rather than, for example, advancing policies in which he believes), why didn't he just drop the push for healthcare reform?
The First Emoter also adopted an old Frank Rich talking point:
The president also implied that anti-big government types such as tea party activists were being hypocritical on the issue.
“Some of the same folks who have been hollering and saying ‘do something’ are the same folks who, just two or three months ago, were suggesting that government needs to stop doing so much,” Obama said. “Some of the same people who are saying the president needs to show leadership and solve this problem are some of the same folks who, just a few months ago, were saying this guy is trying to engineer a takeover of our society through the federal government that is going to restrict our freedoms.”
Let's see - BP is drilling on Federally leased site in a Gulf which borders five states and several other countries. I see an Federal role there that is a bit different from the Feds bailing out the guy down the street who over-extended himself when he bought a house, or taking over health care, but maybe that is just me.
From Red State:
Hmmmm. Notice a pattern?
Seems like our Commander-in-Chief feels that it’s not necessary to engage another being in conversation, because with his superior intellect, he’s able to discern what they’re going to say, without their having said it!
And then he blames them for what he thinks they would have said!
My Star Trek days were long ago, but even Spock had to come into physical contact with the party on the other end of the Vulcan mind-meld, if I recall correctly.
You can’t play this game, Mr. President. It’s not fair, but worse, it’s not presidential. (Imagine FDR before Yalta: “What’s the point of meeting with Stalin? I know he’s going to want Eastern Europe.”)(Imagine Ronaldus Maximus in Berlin: “I suppose I could ask Mikhail to tear down this wall, but I bet I know what he’d say!)
And your speculation deflects attention from the actions you did take with respect to the MMS, namely appointing Liz Birnbaum to head the agency: an Ivy League environmental lawyer who wouldn’t know an oil well if she were to fall bass-ackwards into one. How are you going to blame the Republicans for that boo-boo?
From Patterico:
It’s everyone’s fault except Obama’s. He even blamed the media for focusing on his lack of passion because it makes “good TV.”
Expecting government to do its job in cleaning up the BP Oil Spill is not a justification for Obama’s massive deficits; his takeover of the banks, the car industry, and healthcare; or his repeated bailouts, pork, and stimulus projects. Except to Obama.

Senate Votes Away Constitution and Gives Unchecked Power to EPA
The rogue democrat Senate voted yesterday to give an unconstitutional power grab to the EPA. Get ready for the massive jobs losses, high energy costs, and brownouts. More liberty lost. Ain't socialism/marxism wonderful?
Freedom Action urges Senators to vote Yes on Thursday on S.J. Res. 26, Senator Lisa Murkowski’s Resolution of Disapproval of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Endangerment Finding. Senate passage of the Murkowski Resolution will be the first step in stopping EPA from using the Clean Air Act to regulate the economy into stagnation. This is a key vote that will have a major impact on Americans’ future living standards.
Senators who vote No on the Murkowski Resolution are voting for a regulatory train wreck that will result in much higher energy prices, less money in consumers’ pockets to spend on other things, and lost jobs in manufacturing industries that will lose competitiveness from higher energy costs. It is therefore critically important for the Senate to pass the Murkowski Resolution on Thursday and begin the process of taking back Congress’s authority from an out-of-control EPA.
It was defeated 47-53.
The EPA is packed with Obama's unelected marxists. Now they get to make laws concerning CO2. A gas people exhale and plants use for photosynthesis. This sets up Al Gore to become a billionaire over phony science.
We are getting ever so close to the abyss, and past the point of no return. Don't you just love democrats?
The worst Republican is better that any democrat any day of the week. Our society may collapse.

Obama's $400 Million Dollar Stimulus for Terrorists
America is broke, but Obama has found a way to gives $400 million dollars in aid to Hamas. Wonder how much of it will turn into weapons? Obama is the worst President in history. Loser.
From CNN:
The United States will contribute $400 million in development aid to the Palestinian territories and work with Israel to loosen its embargo on Gaza, President Barack Obama said Wednesday.
Obama's announcement came after White House talks with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. The money will be used to build housing, schools, water and health care systems in both the Palestinian Authority-controlled West Bank and Gaza, which is ruled by the Palestinian Islamic movement Hamas.
Obama called the situation in Gaza "unsustainable," and said the United States would work with its European allies, Egypt and Israel to find a "new conceptual framework" for the Israeli blockade of Gaza.
"We agree Israelis have right to prevent arms from coming into Gaza," Obama said. But he said "new mechanisms" were needed to allow more goods to reach the territory - and he repeated that the long-term solution was a permanent deal creating "a Palestinian state side-by-side with an Israel that is secure."

Guiliani Rates Obama's Gulf Oil Response
fHere is Rudy Guiliani rating Obama's oil spill leadership. Best part is when Rudy talks about the "crimes" BP has committed according to the Obama administration. Guiliani basically says that if the BP organization has committed crimes, why is Obama letting them handle the leak? Ah, logic the domain of conservatism.

Could Blago Trial Bring Down Obama?
Dare to dream, fellow patriots. Sestak, Iran, Afghanistan, Turkey, Israel, gulf oil spill...Blago could be the final nail in the coffin. The American Spectator is already speculating that Obama could be so damaged after the 2010 elections that even Democrats will call for his resignation in 2014.
From the Politico:
The Blagojevich defense team contends the president can clear up inconsistencies in a portion of the case offered by prosecutors that deals with interactions a labor union official is reported to have had with Obama, Jarrett and Blagojevich during several days in early November 2008.
Defense lawyers say Obama sent a labor union official to make the case for Jarrett with Blagojevich. But Blagojevich himself offered the most exonerating assessment of Obama’s role, according to the prosecutors’ account.
“Blagojevich said he knows that the President-elect wants Senate Candidate 1 for the Senate seat, but ‘they’re not willing to give me anything except appreciation. F[—-] them,’” reads the juiciest passage in the original complaint against Blagojevich.
But there are at least a couple of angles that could arm Obama’s political opponents if they are explored in depth during the trial: Convicted Chicago political fixer Tony Rezko — a onetime Obama supporter — could testify, thrusting his name back into the headlines.
In addition, any holes in the White House story, as laid out in a memo developed by incoming White House Counsel Greg Craig in December 2008, could tarnish the image the president has sought to build as a proponent of transparency.

Obama's Watergate
What was Joe Sestak offered and when was it offered by the White House? This will not go away. If true, its a felony and if not true then Sestak, a former Navy officer, is lying. Congressman Darrell Issa, is pushing for an investigation. Attorney General Eric Holder and the White House have been stonewalling. Sestak must come clean.

Obama's Redistribution of Wealth
From Hot Air:
Paychecks from private business shrank to their smallest share of personal income in U.S. history during the first quarter of this year, a USA TODAY analysis of government data finds.
At the same time, government-provided benefits — from Social Security, unemployment insurance, food stamps and other programs — rose to a record high during the first three months of 2010.
Those records reflect a long-term trend accelerated by the recession and the federal stimulus program to counteract the downturn. The result is a major shift in the source of personal income from private wages to government programs.
The trend is not sustainable, says University of Michigan economist Donald Grimes. Reason: The federal government depends on private wages to generate income taxes to pay for its ever-more-expensive programs. Government-generated income is taxed at lower rates or not at all, he says. “This is really important,” Grimes says.
This comes before the federal health-insurance subsidies hit in 2014, too. That program provides federal welfare payments to families making less than $88,000 a year who buy their health insurance through the state-run individual exchanges. As more employers dump health-insurance coverage (and they will), more Americans will move into the dependent class despite making as much as 400% above the poverty level and better household income than 60% of their fellow Americans.
It’s more than just unsustainable. We were already on an unsustainable path before Barack Obama got elected President, with pending entitlement disasters in Medicare and Social Security threatening financial oblivion. In the past sixteen months, we’ve doubled down on disaster, and the accelerated redistribution of wealth through entitlements has us careening towards it at breakneck speed.

Terrorists Also Cross Arizona/Mexico Border
Terrorists from Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, etc., are learning Spanish and crossing the Arizona/Mexican border. Muslim prayer rugs, jihadist uniform patches are being found on the ground in Arizona. It is not just an illegal immigration issue, but a national security issue as well. Watch this video.

Republican Charles Djou Wins Congressional Seat in Obama's Hometown
Charles Djou, a Republican, won the Congressional seat in Chairman Obama's hometown in Hawaii. First time in 20 years a Republican holds the seat. Beating his two Democrat opponents by 8.6% and 11.6%.
From FOX News:
Republican Charles Djou topped Democrats Colleen Hanabusa and former Rep. Ed Case (D-HI) to succeed retired Rep. Neil Abercrombie (D-HI) in Congress. Before Djou’s victory, Democrats had won 11 consecutive special elections. The stretch included a win last Tuesday by Rep. Mark Critz (D-PA) to succeed the late-Rep. Jack Murtha (D-PA). Many political handicappers expected Republican Tim Burns to win that contest and viewed the race as a barometer for how the political winds may blow this fall.
Djou secured 39.5 percent of the vote. Meantime, the two Democratic candidates, Hanabusa and Case combined to score nearly 60 percent of the vote. But that splintered the Democratic impact and allowed Djou to squeak through.
“Eighteen months ago, President Obama carried this district with seventy percent of the vote,” said Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX), the head of the National Republican Congressional Campaign Committee (NRCC). “Charles Djou’s victory not only changes the makeup of the House of Representatives, but it helps Republicans move one step closer toward winning back the majority in November.”

State Run Media Ignores Truth in RNC Criticism of Elena Kagan
Justice Thurgood Marshall gave a speech during the year that marked the bicentennial of the Constitution. He claimed that the Constitution, as originally drafted and conceived, was "defective"; only after 200 years had the nation "attain[ed] the system of constitutional government, and its respect for... individual freedoms and human rights, we hold as fundamental today."
Elena Kagan used the same phrase "as originally drafted and conceived, was defective", in a college thesis.
Marshall was referring to slavery. And as an activist judge, was wrong about the Constitution being defective.
Northerners favored eliminating slavery, but realized we had no hope of defeating the British without the South. The South wanted to count slaves as population to increase Southern representation in the new American government. The North wanted slaves not be counted, since the slaves would not be represented in the new government.
The compromise of 3/5ths of a man was actually a first step in eliminating slavery. Secondly, the amendment process allowed for changes like the 14th amendment. Had the Democrats not fought against the rights of blacks up through the mid-60's, more changes would have happened sooner.
Therefore, Marshall was wrong. Had he actually understood history, he's have realized that the Constitution was well drafted and conceived. It was crafted with the knowledge that the founders did not know everything and could be amended. Further, it made one step toward actually eliminating slavery.
This is what the RNC means, and they are right. Unfortunately, liberals and the state run media refuse to get it. They also refuse to explore the truth. Perhaps, because our educational system doesn't teach it.
Obama described Kagan as a woman who will represent “everyday people” and “ordinary citizens.” Kagan repeated the meme in her brief comments. Lock step Alinskyites.
She's a lightweight. She's a leftist. She's a "living and breathing" type. There's no way on God's green earth she's anywhere close to a moderate. She'll endorse Obama's leftist agenda. This is why she was nominated. Stevens was a schmuck. She'll be the same should she be nominated.
I have only one question for her confirmation hearing: Is Obamacare Constitutional? For those of you slow on the uptake, the answer is no. There are so many reasons as to why.
If she ducks or says yes, dump her.

It was crafted with the knowledge that the founders did not know everything and could be amended. Further, it made one step toward actually eliminating slavery.
This is what the RNC means, and they are right. Unfortunately, liberals and the state run media refuse to get it. They also refuse to explore the truth. Perhaps, because our educational system doesn't teach it.
Obama described Kagan as a woman who will represent “everyday people” and “ordinary citizens.” Kagan repeated the meme in her brief comments. Lock step Alinskyites.
She's a lightweight. She's a leftist. She's a "living and breathing" type. There's no way on God's green earth she's anywhere close to a moderate. She'll endorse Obama's leftist agenda. This is why she was nominated. Stevens was a schmuck. She'll be the same should she be nominated.
I have only one question for her confirmation hearing: Is Obamacare Constitutional? For those of you slow on the uptake, the answer is no. There are so many reasons as to why.
If she ducks or says yes, dump her.

Supreme Court Nominee Kagan and Obama Cut from Same Socialist Cloth
Obama and supreme court nominee Elena Kagan, are tied together in socialist ideology and the Chicago machine.
From NBC Chicago:
The current Solicitor General and soon-to-be Supreme Court Justice tried her best to woo Obama to a life in academia when the two worked at the University of Chicago, according to MSNBC's First Read.
Kagan joined the staff there in 1991 and won tenure in 1995. Obama was a part-time lecturer there between 1992 and 2004, when he was elected to the U.S. Senate, but according to reports she tried to convince him to pursue a tenure track.
Obama and Kagan share a deep Chicago connection. They both learned the ropes on the South Side, and rumor is they're both rabid White Sox fans, according to the Sun-Times.
Kagan clerked for legendary Chicago federal Appellate Judge Abner Mikva, who is one of Obama’s political mentors. She went on to have a brilliant scholarly career.
Kagan laid the groundwork for many of her political beliefs while at the University of Chicago, and perhaps provided fodder for Republicans to interrogate her.
Before winning tenure at the University of Chicago she published Confirmation Messes, Old and New a review of a book about the judicial confirmation process.
Kagan lamented the lack of "seriousness and substance" in confirmation hearings for Stephen Breyer and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. "When the Senate ceases to engage nominees in meaningful discussion of legal issues, the confirmation process takes on an air of vacuity and farce," she wrote in the University of Chicago Law Review in 1995.
Her college thesis suggest a socialist's in sheep's clothing:

Her college thesis suggest a socialist's in sheep's clothing:
Kagan spent her senior year conducting research for her thesis on the history of the socialist movement, which was titled “To the Final Conflict: Socialism in New York City, 1900–1933.” Her thesis has been criticized by her opponents for revealing sympathies with the Socialist Party and became a source of controversy when she was a potential nominee for Associate Justice David Souter’s seat on the Supreme Court last spring — a position which instead went to Sonia Sotomayor ’76 — and when she was nominated for her current position of solicitor general in January 2009.Sounds a lot like our community organizer in chief. Eh?
“Americans are more likely to speak of a golden past than of a golden future, of capitalism’s glories than of socialism’s greatness,” she wrote in her thesis. “Conformity overrides dissent; the desire to conserve has overwhelmed the urge to alter. Such a state of affairs cries out for explanation.”
She called the story of the socialist movement’s demise “a sad but also a chastening one for those who, more than half a century after socialism’s decline, still wish to change America … In unity lies their only hope.”

Bamster Gives $568 Million Dollar No-Bid to Halliberton (KBR)
Well, well, well the Democrats' military service corporate whipping boy Halliburton's former subsidiary KBR just got a $568 million dollar no-bid contract. None of this bothers us. Clinton gave 'em no-bids too back in the 1990's. In spite of a few problems with KBR, the company is very good at what it does. We've never met the perfect company or the perfect individual, see Obama for example, but Obama is giving no-bids to KBR too.
Democrats. Full of shit again.
From Bloomburg:
KBR Inc. was selected for a no-bid contract worth as much as $568 million through 2011 for military support services in Iraq, the Army said.
