Maybe It’s Just a Coincidence…

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

But virtually all of Obama’s pals from Chicago are “flawed,” to say the least. And now his old friend, Governor Blagojevich, has been busted for trying to sell Obama’s vacated Senate seat.

Blagojevich has been under investigation for years due to other corruption charges, and wiretaps have recorded numerous attempts to peddle the position to the highest bidder: “I’ve got this and it’s fucking golden, and I’m not giving it up for fuckin’ nothing!”

Obama claims to have had no contact with the Governor regarding the Senate position, but his senior adviser said otherwise during a news broadcast last month:

Sounds a little nervous, don’t you think?

We also know that Blagojevich has at least spoken with Obama’s advisers, and repeatedly made references to the Obama team in recordings, such as, “They’re not willing to give me anything except appreciation. Fuck them.” Some individuals are lauding Obama’s team for not getting involved, but why didn’t they report Blagojevich to the proper authorities?


Let’s examine the pattern emerging here:

Obama began his political career in the home of Bill Ayers, an unrepentant terrorist who bombed the pentagon and said he “didn’t do enough damage.”

Obama went to the Church of Reverend Wright for 20 years, whose sermons repeatedly proclaim, “God damn America!” Obama also credits this man for the title of his book, The Audacity of Hope.

Obama received more than $500,000 towards his house from Tony Rezko, and while in the state Senate Obama represented a district that included 11 of Rezko’s 30 low-income housing projects. Rezko was later indicted for soliciting kickbacks; Federal Prosecuters maintain that $10,000 of the kickbacks went to Obama’s Senate campaign.

Obama campaigned for Governor Blagojevich in 2002 and 2006, and also served as one of his top advisers in 2002. During this time, Blagojich was also involved in Tony Rezkco’s scandal.


Sure, it’s possible that Obama is completely ignorant of his surroundings. Is this any more comforting, especially when you consider what could go on while he is President of the United States?

Realistically though, he’s probably as corrupt as the gang he runs with, and now his dirty hands will be all over the White House proceedings.

We already know he’s a liar…


How Many Government Employees Does It Take to Change a Light Bulb?

Monday, December 8th, 2008

About 2.5 million, according to Obama’s economic recovery plan. And the joke is on you, the American tax payer, because you’ll be footing the bill.

OK, sure, switching to energy efficient light bulbs is a fundamentally sound idea. The problem is that Obama mentioned this as one of the top three ways that jobs will be created through his recovery plan. There just aren’t that many light bulbs to replace! Furthermore, many government facilities have already upgraded to energy efficient utilities because it’s such an obvious way to cut costs. That’s right, it’s already been done!

This aspect of the recovery plan is possibly the most short-sighted solution to unemployment ever proposed. In less than six months, light bulb changers across America will be left in the dark again, wondering why they don’t have a job. Unless of course, Obama comes up with another bright idea - perhaps they could rake leaves in our national forests.

Unfortunately, the recovery plan doesn’t get much better than this. The next component of Obama’s plan grants “use-it-or-lose-it” appropriations to states and municipalities. This means that local governments will be spending tax dollars on things that they don’t really need just so they don’t lose the “free” money. Didn’t Obama once say he wanted to cut wasteful spending? Well, now you can expect to see even more extravagant pork barrel bills go through as we pave our streets with gold.

The third component of the recovery includes putting new computers in our schools. Again, new computers would be nice but it doesn’t solve the problem at hand! How many steps are involved in setting up a computer, maybe three? And it doesn’t exactly require a computer science degree to install Math Blasters. Purchasing the computers will cost 100 times more than the labor, and most computer components are manufactured overseas. We could probably create more jobs by simply shipping boatloads of cash to Asia.

How Obama Won the Election

Friday, December 5th, 2008

Based on poll results and numerous surveys of the media, it seems apparent that uninformed voters and biased news sources won the election for Barack Obama.


First, it’s worth noting that many Obama voters were so politically uninformed it’s embarrassing:

57.4% of Obama voters could not correctly say which party controls congress, and more than half of these voters incorrectly thought Republicans control congress. Statistically, this performance is worse than random guessing!

More than a third of Obama voters didn’t know who Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid are. One democrat described Nancy Pelosi as “pretty cool,” but was unable to describe her roll in the government. The poll also indicated that substantially more republican voters were informed about Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.


Secondly, polls have revealed that many democrats knew very little about their own candidate:

88.4% could not correctly identify Obama as the candidate that said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket. Again, this is statistically worse than random guessing.

82.6% could not correctly say that Obama won his first election by getting his opponents kicked off the ballot.

56.1% of Obama voters didn’t know that Obama began his political career at the home of Bill Ayers, an unrepentant terrorist who said his bombings “didn’t do enough.”


Conversely, here’s what Obama voters knew about Sarah Palin:

94% of Obama voters correctly identified Palin as the candidate with a pregnant teenage daughter.

86% of Obama voters identified Palin as the candidate who spent $150,000 on a campaign wardrobe.

86.9 % of Obama voters thought that Palin said she could see Russia from her “house.” However, this quote actually came from Tina Fey on Saturday Night Live.


How did so many American’s gather such slanted knowledge? A study performed by a writer for the Washington Post may contain a few clues:

“[Washington Post] readers have been consistently critical of the lack of probing issues coverage and what they saw as a tilt toward Democrat Barack Obama. My surveys, which ended on Election Day, show that they are right on both counts.”

This “news” paper published 246% more laudatory opinion pieces exalting Barack Obama than the number of opinion pieces in favor of John McCain. And this only scratches the surface. The Post also had more stories dedicated to Obama, published more photos of Obama, and contained closer coverage of the Obama campaign. Simultaneously, the number of negative pieces released about McCain exceeded the number of negative Obama pieces by 181%. At least their slogan doesn’t proclaim The Post is fair and balanced.

This revolting degree of bias was exhibited by virtually every media outlet in America, according to Journalism.org:

God bless America.

Georgia, Remember to Vote!

The Senate runoff election between incumbent Saxby Chambliss and Jim Martin takes place tomorrow. Before dropping a vote for Jim Martin, consider the following:

2.) Jim Martin proposed legislation that would increase property tax by 150 percent.

3.) Jim Martin voted to eliminate mandatory minimum sentences for drug dealers, voted against making extremely violent criminals serve their entire prison sentence, and voted against making it a felony to distribute drugs within 1000 feet of a school.

4.) Jim Martin voted twice against making English the official language of Georgia.

5.) Jim Martin supports the Card Check bill, which will eliminate the secret ballot for union votes.
