The Obamas tag team bashing of America.

OBAMA:

They get bitter. They cling to guns or religion or antipathy towards people who aren’t like them.

MICHELLE OBAMA:

Barack knows there’s a hole in our soul.

OBAMA:

I know my country has not perfected itself.

MICHELLE OBAMA:

It’s easier to hold onto your own stereotypes and misconceptions. It makes you feel justified in your ignorance. That’s America.

OBAMA:

We’re confronting the history and stain of slavery in this country. We’re confronting those scars.

MICHELLE OBAMA:

For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country.

OBAMA:

America, uh, is — is no longer, uh, what it — it could be, what it once was.

I’m thinking, “I’m hearing sort of a cleaned up version of what Jeremiah Wright thinks.”

America’s chickens are coming home to roost! Evil white people!

My friends, it has come to my attention that America’s children are facing a crisis that threatens the very foundation of their being.

Apparently, when Congress provided the stimulus checks for you, they forgot to add enough money to cover “back-to-school” expenses. With gas prices still high, and the Democrats on vacation, the effects of this oversight are just now becoming known.

Retailers are reporting that back-to-school clothing sales are lagging. Parents are instead opting to purchase things that they consider to be “necessities”, like food and gasoline.

In a recent report, an analyst with Lazard Capital Markets, Todd Slater, summed up the crisis this way:

“Most kids will be returning to school… in last year’s duds.”

This is unconscionable!

What message are we sending to our kids?

How will they handle being forced to wear clothing they already have? All the work educators have done to build up the self-esteem of these kids — even at the expense of learning — could collapse on the first day of school when humiliated kids show up in “last year’s duds”!

Especially cruel will be the kids wearing old duds having to face wealthy kids, whose parents bought them new duds. To head off this certain disaster, we need to consider a ban on all new clothing this school year.
No wonder the Obama recently told a 7-year-old girl that America had sunk from its best days.

The children — who are our future — are wearing clothes from last year.

Can it get any worse?

Insane…

Did you people hear about this?

The Obama campaign, as you know, is all upset about the Paris Hilton and Britney Spears ad.

It’s racist for having “phallic symbols” — the Victory Column and the Washington Monument — in there. They say these are women who are known to be scantily clad at times (but were not in the ad) with a black guy, and that’s a racist thing.

They also didn’t like the fact they were trying to portray Obama as a celebrity.

Well, it turns out that Obama was the first to compare himself to Paris Hilton, not McCain!

Obama did this himself.

Yes, folks, NewsBusters came up with this. They went back to their own archives.

February 24th, 2005, Washington Post article:

“There’s nothing exotic or complicated about how phenoms are made in Washington, and more to the point, how they are broken. ‘Andy Warhol said we all get our 15 minutes of fame,’

said Barack Obama.

‘Well, I’ve already had an hour and a half. I mean I’m so overexposed I’m making Paris Hilton look like a recluse.’”

So Obama has already compared himself to Paris Hilton.

McCain didn’t break any new ground there.

O.K., maybe using “amazing” in the title was a bit titillating…

Most of us who pay attention to this empty suit running for president, know already - his actions, statements and predictions are a burger and fries short of a Happy Meal. Those who don’t pay attention… should. We are talking about the presidency of the United states here, not the local YMCA.

Reference:

McCain Not First to Compare Obama to Paris Hilton

Update: Time magazine had the quote as well. From their Verbatim section

Last week, John McCain attacked the Bush Administration for wasteful spending, while Obama blamed Bush and Wall Street for economic conditions overall. Both these candidates promised vast improvement if elected.

McCain’s version included giving himself some wiggle room on his commitment not to raise taxes. Obama, hopeless as ever, merely offered to change course with some “immediate action.”

But neither candidate mentioned Congress, my friends, and as everybody who’s had Civics 101 knows, it isn’t the president who ultimately sets the budget or formulates tax policy; it is Congress. Just as important, Congress performs all kinds of social engineering — from housing to education — which greatly impacts the economy as well.

With gas prices and housing among the topmost issues for voters, we have a golden opportunity, here, for conservatives.

For decades, liberal policies from Congress — forbidding more drilling and refining of oil — have restrained energy growth. Even now, Nancy Pelosi refuses to allow drilling to be taken up by the House (because she says she has to “save the planet”).

And liberal welfare-state policy-making from Congress fueled the sub-prime debacle (not Wall Street), as well as the horrendous election-year “housing rescue” bill that just passed. In every screw-up — from education to health care — you will find the fingerprints of liberalism and Congress.

The real “change“ required to heal decades of mismanagement in government is not about changing the cast of characters in the White House or a change of skin color of a candidate.

It really does begin in Congress… after it begins with you — because you’re the one who send them there!

Jeffrey Lord in the American Spectator today calls our attention to a book review in the Los Angeles Times.

The book is liberal journalist Jane Mayer, The Dark Side:

The Inside Story of How The War on Terror Turned Into a War on American Ideals.

This is a book devoted to the chronology of the supposed torture that was ordered from the White House down.

Tim Rutten reviewed the book on July 15th in the LA Times, and I want you to read a paragraph from Tim Rutten’s review:

“Finally, in the years ahead our country must still come to grips with our national acquiescence to the politics of fear, which has led to the detention and abuse of hundreds of individuals. Among the necessary steps will be restoration of freedom to innocent detainees, accompanied by public apology and some monetary restitution for the years they lost to incarceration. Furthermore, Congress needs to accept responsibility for its complicity with the executive in laws that denied suspects rightful appeal. A national truth commission should be instituted to establish political accountability for the decisions, policies and statutes that placed suspects outside the protection of the law.”

We’re talking about prisoners of war.

We’re talking here about terrorists.

Now, this paragraph was not written by Tim Rutten. He cited this paragraph, approvingly so, from the editors of the Jesuit magazine, America, the National Catholic Weekly.

It was in the July 21st issue that the National Catholic Weekly wrote that paragraph, which essentially suggests, and of course now cited by Tim Rutten favorably, so it’s in the LA Times, citing it favorably, suggesting reparations for Al-Qaeda prisoners at Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp.

The liberal press rolls on…

Side Note: My Great Great Grandfather came to America from Poland as an indentured servant, 7 years of slavery - but we never hear the families of this group of slaves asking for anything. Of course being white, that would of course brand us as RACIST… which is the Democrat way. Now they want reparations for terrorist — I guess thats part of the Democrat “stategery” to gain more Terrorist support world wide…

< SO STUPID… >

Ok, a couple of items…

The Messiah, Barry Hussein Obama, got zero bounce in the polls from his little intern tour of Europe. Then he had to throw his buddy, the rapper Ludacris, under the bus for his offensive lyrics in a pro-Obama song.

So to get his campaign back on track, the Barry resorted to playing the race card again. Accusing McCain and Republicans -

Obama said: “What they’re going to try to do is make you scared of me. You know, he’s not patriotic enough, he’s got a funny name, you know, he doesn’t look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills.”

Barry Hussein Obama. You have accomplished nothing to make you worthy of appearing on the currency! But voters aren’t scared of what you’d look like on the dollar; they’re scared of what you’ll do to their dollars! Take even more of them to spend on programs that haven’t worked and don’t work and will never work!

The second item.

NASA has announced a startling discovery. Saturn’s moon, Titan, has large lake-like features; at least one of them contains liquid hydrocarbons — ethane. This is huge! Besides earth, Titan is the only body in our solar system known to have liquids on its surface — and hydrocarbons are a building block of crude oil.

Heads up, Democrats in Congress:

This is your new battlefront! To protect its environment and keep Saturn’s moon looking like ANWR, you better go into emergency session and craft legislation to ban all oil drilling on Titan now… or you will regret it.

• AP: Obama and McCain go Old-School in Political Jabs

Thursday story in the New York Times, that referred to the 1.9% economic growth rate as “tepid” and that the stimulus had failed.

Here’s the Washington Post headline Friday: “Economy Grows on Impact of Stimulus,” the exact opposite take.

Thursday the economy, “tepid,” and the stimulus didn’t help.

Washington Post:

“Economy Grows on Impact of Stimulus; Troubles Expected As Effect Wears Off — The [commerce] department said the economy shrank at the end of last year, revising an earlier estimate of growth. And there is evidence that the decent growth in the second quarter will come at a cost. ‘We essentially traded strong growth now for weak growth later,’ said Sung Won Sohn, an economist at California State University.”

By the way, I discount all these economists that the Media find because every month when new economic figures or job figures or whatever come out, their experts are always surprised. Whether the news is good or bad, they’re always surprised at it. The news is always unexpected.

So they’ve got this guy from Cal State, Sung Won Sohn, who says,

“As a result, this may turn out to be a longer recession than we’re used to.”

We’re not in a recession!

The Simple Truth: we are not in a recession.

Nancy Pelosi and the gang have left town. There is nothing going to be done for five weeks, not a single appropriation bill — nothing on drilling.

And it was not just four years ago when we saw John Kerry hounding President Bush to go “jawbone” with the Saudis to bring the oil price down? Now, four years later, all they want is for the price to remain high.

Anyway, what Pelosi has basically done here is shut down the House so they don’t have to talk about offshore drilling. They went out, got aboard their jets and they left town without taking any action on the president’s request to drill for oil and other things.

Twenty-five members of the House Republican caucus nevertheless stayed behind and continued to make speeches and discuss — on the floor of the House – the need to drill here and drill now. But Pelosi ordered the cameras from C-SPAN turned off, she ordered the microphones turned off, and she ordered the press gallery cleared.

When the speaker of the House, who controls all this, orders the cameras turned off, the lights turned off, and the microphones turned off…

You know, this is reminiscent of what happened back in the eighties with Newt Gingrich and his boys leading the special orders at night. Tip O’Neill finally got fed up with it and ordered the House closed.

… They’re just in there making speeches to an empty body — but as long as somebody is speaking C-SPAN contractually had to carry it. So the House Republicans, 25 or 30 of them, are just continuing to hammer away, and they’re demanding that the Democrats come back and debate them and talk about this and take action on this thing that the American people care so adamantly about, and that’s the supply of oil and providing it for ourselves to make us less dependent on foreign oil.

This is not going to be good for the Democrats, folks. They claim to be for the little guy, they claim to be for the great unwashed and the downtrodden, the homeless, the hungry, and the thirsty, but they’ve abandoned them — and they’ve abandoned them with four-dollar-a-gallon gasoline.

They want the price to stay high. The American people are starting to figure this out. The only people making noise about taking market action that would lower price is Republicans.

And Obama is in big trouble on this. To sit there and take no action whatsoever and then to say, as he did today, he wants another stimulus check to every American, a thousand dollars paid for by oil company profits… The American people don’t want the oil companies paying more taxes. The federal government gets 50% of all the profits that the oil companies report anyway, so this is a winning issue, and I suspect the president and the Republicans are content to have the Democrats out of town and showing that they care nothing at all about the American people. All the Democrats care about is their own reelections and their upcoming convention.

Now, Representative Mike Pence, Republican, Indiana is one of the organizers of this session that is taking place in the House of Representatives today. He says that up to 40 Republican members are prepared to keep the proceedings going. He is quoted as saying, “I’m prepared to stay here as long as we can.” He added that before the Democrat motion to adjourn was adopted, a hundred Republicans, 100, had signed up to speak for five minutes each about gas prices, but the adjournment vote precluded that. Bu the Democrats skipped town, got in their own private jets, making their own carbon footprint and flew away. These kinds of tactics, folks, are exactly what is called for.

This is worthy of your support.

If you can somehow find a way to let these guys — the Republicans — know that you are appreciative of what they’re doing, that they’re finally standing up and that they are fighting the Democrat majority on this and taking it to them on an issue that matters greatly to a vast majority of the American people, do it.

I want to congratulate them and encourage them to keep up these kinds of legislative tactics. They’ve been absent for way too long. This is gutsy and it’s courageous, and I will stand with these honorable guys.

It will inspire their voters, it will inspire them, and you can inspire them by letting them know you appreciate what they are doing.

Well, Congress is in recess. (Normally, good news.) They’ll be gone for the rest of the summer. As we approach the fall elections, we should take stock of the enormous benefits that electing a Democrat Congress have brought us.

Their single biggest achievement of the Democrat Congress has been that huge increase in the minimum wage… 30 or 40 cents an hour? A pizza a week? Whatever.

Those extra dimes, no doubt, have saved us all from economic collapse. Now, I know unemployment is edging up as a result of this, but the Democrats can take pride in the fact that fewer people will be driving to work.

Speaking of high energy prices, this Democrat Congress has done what Democrats do, historically: stand in opposition to producing more energy. Rather than debate the merits of drilling for our own oil, Democrats shut down the legislative process — turned off the lights — and then took off on vacation.

They want gas prices to remain high, and they’ve succeeded; so they are to be congratulated.

Democrats also stand firmly in opposition in the area of national security. Nancy Pelosi’s Democrats have given lip service to supporting the troops… while, of course, doing everything in their power to thwart the No. 1 mission — and that’s victory in Iraq.

Yes, our military is thoroughly succeeding despite Democrat obstruction, but Pelosi, Reid & Co. must take credit for their accomplishment: they’ve made every step so much more difficult.

In war and in peace, Democrats are Democrats. The bad news is: this recess is so short — they’ll be back before you know it.

YIPPPEEEEEE!!!!!

• The Politico: House Dems Turn Out the Lights but GOP Keeps Talking

You parents who have sent your kids or whose kids are at present in Ivy League schools, you might want to think about the education they’re getting just by listening to BARRY HUSSEIN OBAMA, because he is a walking, talking example of the kind of education you come out of Harvard or any of these Ivy League schools.

This is Obama yesterday at a campaign event in Springfield, Missouri.

OBAMA: We could save all the oil that they’re talking about getting off drilling, if everybody was just inflating their tires and — and — and getting regular tune-ups, you can actually save just as much.

This is unbelievable. My friends, it’s laughable.

But it’s stupid! It is stupid.

How many of you remember the seventies when we had these shortages, all through the Jimmy Carter years? We had all these tips, all these tips on how to save gasoline. Avoid jackrabbit starts, keep your tires properly inflated, and all that. There’s a list about ten or 12 of these things.

Ridiculous.

This is a presidential candidate, and he’s talking about keeping your tires inflated and get’n regular tune-ups? That would save as much oil as drilling would produce?

This guy is the Democrat presidential nominee. Who has filled his head with this stuff?

As you know, ladies and gentlemen, the whole tone of the Obama campaign has changed, and it is amazing to see some of the manifestations of this. In Lebanon, Missouri, before getting on his campaign bus, outside a restaurant. He said this to a bunch of reporters.

OBAMA: I don’t pay attention to what John McCain says, although I do notice that he doesn’t have anything very positive to say about himself, does he? He doesn’t — he — he seems to only be talking about me. You need to ask John McCain what he’s for, not just what he’s against.

Whoa, they’re getting testy out there on the Obama campaign! They really are. They’re getting testy. They’re getting defensive out there on all of this — and it’s about time.

This is a specious, vacant campaign. There is no substance in the Obama campaign whatsoever. This is like a campaign totally built on a foundation of celebrity. That McCain ad that that has Britney Spears and Paris Hilton in it, to equate the audience in Germany at the Victory Column to nothing more than American pop culture celebrities, was dead-on right. The Obama cult is nothing more than a celebrity cult, a pop culture celebrity cult based on him being presented as a celebrity, and what does he do? He furthers the notion by having the E! Entertainment people or whoever did it, come by, and do a television interview with Michelle and the kids and then he grants People magazine access.

He’s on the cover. He’s following the route exactly blazed by people like Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. And he’s upset by this. He’s upset that McCain’s called him on this. And this referendum stuff on Obama up or down, the thin skin is starting to show here. And that stupid, stupid, stupid comment, four-dollar-a-gallon gasoline, the Democrats are shooting themselves in the foot (and they may be aiming a little higher) by opposing drilling for oil anywhere new — and Obama tells people to inflate their tires and get tune-ups!

It’s insulting; it is weak. It blows me away, it’s so stupid. It’s so out of touch. For The Messiah to tell people to get their tires inflated so that we don’t have to drill for oil?

You know, the thing that’s happening out there, folks, reality is killing the Democrats.

The race card is a fiction; it’s a distraction from reality. What’s the reality? Obama goes on this summer intern tour, when he goes to Germany, speaking to 200,000 Europeans, he trashes his own country. He canceled a scheduled visit with wounded American soldiers. He hinted to minority journalists that reparations may be needed to make the US a more perfect union. He has carried himself around as an arrogant, elite, out-of-touch politician who looked down his nose at voters and told them to put air in their tires to deal with four-dollar-a-gallon gasoline.

Of course he gotta throw down the race card. He’s having a very bad few weeks here, folks. He’s supposed to be burying McCain. Instead, McCain is picking up ground, in some polls leading, and in Florida and Ohio the race is pulled even, according to polling data. So he throws the race card.

By the way, contrast something. President Bush at a recent press conference, a reporter, stood up,

“Mr. President, Mr. President, are you going to advise the people to drive their cars less and to get smaller cars?”

BUSH: “No, I’m not going to do that, they’re adults. They know what to do to save money. They know what to do to deal with this. I’m not going to tell people how to live their lives, they’re adults.”

Contrast that with Obama.

Obama: “Put the right amount of air in your tires and get tune-ups, and we will not have to drill for oil.”

Black and white difference, ladies and gentlemen, between the Democrats and the Republicans, and that’s not a racist comment when I say black and white difference.

The Drive-Bys know that there’s trouble in paradise.

Obama, somewhere, making a campaign appearance, and the Democrats are back to blaming Big Oil. They just last week, it was the spectators, now they’re back to blaming Big Oil. They are fit to be tied, fit to be tied over Exxon’s profits, $11.7 billion, whatever it was. They’re mad as hell.

Obama’s sitting there saying,

“We don’t need to give them any more tax breaks! We’re through giving them tax breaks! We gotta stop! We gotta stop having an energy policy that works for Big Oil. We need an energy policy that works for you.”

Please, please, remind them how to deal with these Exxon profits: proper inflated tires! Please, Obama, tell your audience to inflate their tires and get tune-ups.

Hahahahahahaha… ROFL…

He’s a comedian not a candidate…
