With a smug grin on his face, President Obama walked up to the podium at the Tribal Nations Conference to address the nation about the massacre at Fort Hood. He opened with a lighthearted “shout out” to Joe Medicine Crow. After using almost three minutes to talk about how he is working to improve conditions for Native Americans, he finally mentions Fort Hood.
Obama giving a shout-out before Fort Hood speech
Talk about a real class act. He spent so much time paying lip service to a slice of his electorate that many viewers thought the wrong clip was playing. Where’s Michael Moore and his stopwatch now?
Even NBC described Obama’s behavior as a display of “frightening insensitivity.” When the President finally did begin to address the Fort Hood tragedy, he still had to read his comments. Seemingly no heartfelt emotions; only the disingenuous teleprompter.
If you disagree with anything Obama does, you are obviously racist.
And according to Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano you are probably a terrorist, too. In her “Extremism Report” she described conservatives as “the most dangerous domestic terrorism threat in the United States.” In the report, she defined extremists as those “in opposition to abortion or immigration.” Napolitano also explained that our veterans are particularly dangerous because many of them are “disillusioned.” Frankly, I’m shocked we still let these people roam the streets.
Yesterday, these conservative racist terrorists rallied at Tea Parties from coast to coast to further their radical anti-socialist agenda. But I’d like to echo the message of ACORN spokesman Brian Kettenring that these are merely “small get-togethers by fringe conservative” extremists. In Atlanta, only 15,000 to 20,000 extremists showed up for the Tea Party. I hope the authorities got all their license plate numbers.
On CNN, Jeff Johnson said, “When you can be in a church, and if you just say Jesus, the people will shout. Now, if you just say Obama, people will shout.”
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution wrote, “At Oakhurst Presbyterian in Decatur, 40 Obama worshippers gathered Thursday evening to reflect upon Obama’s victory.”
On NBC’s Tonight Show, Chris Matthews said, “If you’re in [a room] with Obama, you feel the spirit. Moving.”
Rev. Lawrence Carter of MLK International Chapel at Morehouse College said, “It is powerful and significant on a spiritual level that there is the emergence of Barack Obama… No one saw him coming, and Christians believe God comes at us from strange angles and places we don’t expect, like Jesus being born in a manger.”
In Time Magazine, Nancy Gibbs wrote, “Some princes are born in palaces. Some are born in mangers. But a few are born in the imagination, out of scraps of history and hope.”
LA Times writer, Joel Stein said, “Maybe it’s a religious revelation. I’ve never had one of those… The messiah would make an excellent president. That’s half the job, making people feel saved. And Obama does that. If you make people feel like you can save them, half of them are already saved.”
Jesse Jackson, Jr. said, “What Barack Obama has accomplished is the single most extraordinary event that has occurred in the 232 years of the nation’s political history. … The event itself is so extraordinary that another chapter could be added to the Bible to chronicle its significance.”
CNBC’s Rick Santelli said that Obama’s bailout plan is promoting “bad behavior” and correctly pointed out the American people do not support foreclosure bailouts. He even called for a “Chicago Tea Party,” since our elected officials clearly aren’t representing us.
CNBC did a poll and 90% of the 63,000 Americans surveyed said they agree: they don’t like Obama’s plan.
Politicians are not representing their constituents anymore; they are representing the lobbyists and special interest groups that keep them in power.
Even the high school students Obama visited this week realize his plan is a bad idea:
“The spending bill he just passed is just progressing the Democratic agenda rather than addressing the economic issues in the country.” said senior Maaike Albach.
“This puts us more into debt,” said Daudfar, 18. “It’s a horrible situation we’re in.”
“I think it’s cool he’s here,” said Miller, 18. “I just don’t believe all the things he’s telling us.”
Facebook staff has displayed an appalling lack of ethics this week.
An Ad from Facebook
It should be pretty obvious that the “Get Your Obama Check” ad campaign is a total scam. Basically you give them five bucks and they send you a pamphlet so that you can get a “$12,000 bailout.” Then after stealing your money they probably sell your email address to a spam advertising company.
Why is Facebook hosting a scam campaign? All ads are hand-picked by Facebook (I know because I’m applying to advertise another project), so why would they pick a company that wants to steal your money? Since Facebook has a vested interest in the success of the scam campaign to maintain their client base, Facebook is essentially trying to scam you. They’re trying to take advantage of people who believe in our President.
Mark deserves a swift kick in the nuts for this. Send the creator of Facebook a message to express your displeasure (he’s the one with no “add as friend” link). He already knows about this campaign because I’ve sent him multiple messages about it.
By the way, you won’t be getting a $12,000 bailout. Obama has consistently fought against putting tax cuts in the stimulus package. Likewise, he has fought against grants for small business to stimulate the economy. As a matter of fact, the only funding he has pushed will give the government (and himself) more power.
Nearly 60 people have died in Kentucky due to the recent ice storm, and most of them slowly froze to death while trapped in their own homes. Hundreds more could be dead; the local governments simply don’t have the man power or the equipment to cover the widespread disaster area.
Despite Obama’s campaign promise, there has been a shocking lack of support from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Kentucky’s Emergency Management Director Randell Smith said the 25 local National Guardsmen who have responded “have no chain saws to clear fallen trees.”
“Some areas we haven’t even visited yet,” Smith said. “We don’t even know that they’re alive.”
Where has Obama been during this emergency? Well, Monday he took off work to read to second graders. “We were just tired of being in the White House,” he explained. He hadn’t even been there for two weeks yet! And still nothing has been done about this emergency.
Of course the media won’t question him, but people are dying while Obama’s busy with publicity stunts. Without showing signs of remorse, he loosens his tie and cranks up the heat in the White House.
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.
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:
