OBAMA: We had a yearlong debate, Ed. I mean, go back and look at your stories. The one thing we can’t say is that we did not have a lengthy debate about health care in the United States of America or that it was not adequately covered. I mean, I would just advise all of… every press outlet here, go back and pull up every clip, every story, and I think it’ll — it’s fair to say that there was not a — a provision in the health care law that was not extensively debated, and was fully transparent.

Pelosi’s was out there saying, “You’ve got pass the bill to find out what’s in it.”  Nothing about this bill was transparent. Everything about the bill was hidden. The people that wrote the bill didn’t know what it said. It was 2,000 or 2,200 pages.

“I didn’t know about this! I just heard about this! I’m as mad about this as you are. I’m gonna get to the bottom of this,”

… blah, blah.

EXAMPLES:   March 2009 through November 2014.

OBAMA, GRUBER, 11/17/14: Uhhh, I just heard about this… [S]ome advisor who never worked on our staff, uhh, expressed an opinion that, uhh, I completely disagree with …

OBAMA, IRS SCANDAL, 05/13/13: I first learned about it from the same news reports that I think most people learned about this.

OBAMA, IRS SCANDAL, 05/15/13: Americans are right to be angry about it, and I am angry about it.

OBAMA, OBAMACARE ROLLOUT, 10/21/13: Nobody’s madder than me!

OBAMA, FAST & FURIOUS, 10/14/11: I heard on the news about this.

OBAMA, FAST & FURIOUS, 10/18/11: It’s very upsetting to me, that somebody showed such bad judgment.

OBAMA, SECRET SERVICE SCANDAL, 04/15/12: If it turns out some of the allegations that have been made in the press are confirmed, then of course I’ll be angry.

OBAMA, IRS SCANDAL, 05/13/13: I’ve got no patience with it! I will not tolerate it!

OBAMA BP GULF OIL DISASTER, 06/03/10: I am furious at this entire situation.

OBAMA IRS SCANDAL, 05/15/13: We’re going to hold the responsible parties accountable.

OBAMA, IRS SCANDAL, 05/16/13:I certainly did not know anything about the IG Report before the IG Report had been leaked through the press.

OBAMA, IRS SCANDAL, 05/16/13:  The minute I found out about it, then my main focus is making sure that we get the thing fixed.

OBAMA, WALL STREET BONUSES, 03/18/09:People are right to be angry. I’m angry!

OBAMA, AIR FORCE ONE BUZZING MANHATTAN, 04/28/09: It was something, we found out, about along with all of you.

OBAMA, VA SCANDAL, 05/21/2014: I will not stand for it, not as commander-in-chief! None of us should. It is dishonorable, it is disgraceful, and I will not tolerate it. Period.

All of those, Obama claimed he knew nothing about until you knew.

Gruber, MIT Professor, in all of the sound bites, is telling everybody else how to do this. He is teaching here! He’s not bragging how he did it, or not just bragging. That he is instructing. He’s telling other people how they can get this done in their own walks of life. So he is encouraging this kind of thing for everybody else, and using it as a teachable moment for like-minded people.

Progressive Liberal Education Mindset Exposed… if your shocked, you haven’t been paying attention.

Gallon of gas, $3.70

Royal Dutch/Shell oil exploration costs,  $1.5 Billion.

The actual truth from a Democrat, PRICELESS.

Just a reminder… nothing has changed.

FEMA 2010 Federal Disaster Declarations

Daily Reveille > News
Oil spill: worst environmental disaster in US history

Black blobs washing on sandy beaches, brown pelicans grounded with oil-covered feathers and fishermen looking for work have become common sights in national media since the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded off the Louisiana coast 50 days ago, spewing millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.

That’s right, 50 days and no mention of the Gulf oil spill.

Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida… soon the East Coast, the American economy, the current administration, where are these?? They all rank up there with the worst disasters in American history.

Simple, factual, and the glaring truth of the matter;

June, 8 2010, Obama Presidency – declared a NATIONAL DISASTER.

God, help us all…

“Is there to this point, thought of whether the government can do more, can it push BP out of the way like Salazar said if it feels like the company’s not doing their job? What’s your response to that?”

ALLEN:

Well, to push BP out of the way would raise the question, “To replace them with what?”

REPORTER:

Do you think that this government right now is doing the best it can?

ALLEN:

I’ve been involved with the technical decisions made, especially in relation to the deal with the leak, and they are pressing ahead, we’re overseeing them, they are exhausting every technical means possible to deal with that leak.

So Salazar said if they don’t get it done we’ll just push ’em out of the way and we’ll bring in people with the appropriate action to get it done. Coast Guard says, “Replace them with what?”

He obviously was not aware of what Salazar had said at BP headquarters in Houston.  Last weekend, Bob Schieffer talked to Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary:

“Do you think this could be your administration’s Katrina?”

GIBBS:

Well, I think if you look back at what happened in Katrina, the government wasn’t there to respond to what was happening. That, quite frankly, was the problem, even tracking the hurricane for days and knowing fairly precisely where it was going to hit. I think the difference in this case is we were there immediately, we have been there ever since.

That is a LIE. They’re still not there.

The government did get there in the case of Katrina. They did get there as quickly as they could and the local officials told them to get out. Blanco said get outta here, I don’t want you guys getting credit for this, I’m a Democrat governor, I’ll take care of this. While School Bus Nagin was running around just beside himself here trying to explain why the buses weren’t used.

“The difference here is we were there immediately.”

They were not there immediately. And when they were there they sent Salazar and Carol Browner to survey the problem. The head guy, Tom Strickland – responsible for coordinating the federal response, was vacationing in the Grand Canyon and didn’t think it was serious enough to cut his trip short.

Obama is going on vacation for the second time since the oil spill happened and is reluctantly going to visit there on his way to vacation for the Memorial Day weekend and to check out the growing disaster.

Douglas Brinkley, on CNN with Anderson Cooper says,

“You have the secretary of the interior, Ken Salazar, saying we’re putting the boot on BP’s neck. It doesn’t seem like there’s much pressure being applied to that boot if there’s any at all.”

BRINKLEY:

We haven’t had a bullhorn moment from President Obama, we haven’t heard the passion, and you know he’s sickened by all this. It’s a time we don’t need the cool collected Obama, we need the orator and the leader who’s emotive.

Who is famous for using the bullhorn?

Yeah, it’s Bush. George Bush at Ground Zero, 9/11, the bullhorn moment. The idiot, the dunce, the cowboy, all of those insulting things that were said about Bush.

How do you know that?  Does he act sickened by it? Or does he see an opportunity here to blame Big Oil, to stop offshore drilling, and to once again point the fingers at capitalism for being greedy and unkind, selfish, etc.

Is he really sickened by it? We need a bullhorn moment? We need a leader who’s emotive? You know Obama’s got it in him, we just know he’s got it in him, why doesn’t he show up?

Maybe that’s not who he is.

COOPER:

“It’s sort of fascinating, David, for a president who watched Katrina and saw the failures of the Bush administration, failures at the state and local level, for a president who saw that and was very critical of it, to now find himself in a situation in which he’s being criticized for the lack of response or lack of coordination is kind of stunning.”

GERGEN:

The critics who are saying this is sort of a coming Katrina in slow motion have a point. I’m very sympathetic with what the administration has — this is tough, it’s very tough. And President Obama clearly cares and we have to appreciate that. But it’s not enough simply to care; you’ve gotta take charge. And we’ve reached that moment in this crisis when I think he has to take charge.

He doesn’t act like he’s caring about it much. He doesn’t act like he’s sickened. If anything, he sounds angry that he is being distracted by this. As president, you sit there and say, how is this gonna get fixed? He wants it fixed so he can move on with the rest of his destructive domestic agenda.

This is all politically inconvenient and we’ve reached the moment in crisis, gotta take charge. He’s not a take-charge guy. He’s an organizer and a Chicago thug.

He’s not a leader.

I probably should have named this “My WTF list” but, being a family friendly site, I will just leave it as is.

Due to site technical issues, and missing the past month of events, I would like to extend the confusing and deteriorating accomplishments of the current administration.

Original Post: Feb. 13  Obama accomplishments shine… like a dim bulb.

In no particular order…

• The stimulus, slush fund has failed.
  How’s that “Hope and Change” working out for ya?
• Obamacare has been rejected by a large majority of Americans.
  The silent majority has spoken.
• Obama embarrassed himself twice in Copenhagen (Olympics and the Global Warming Hoax Conference ).
  Take a bow for those, Obama.
• The deficit and unemployment are destroying the Obama fiction, and the country’s identified Obama’s policies as the problem.
• Democrat candidates were humiliated in New Jersey, Virginia, and Massachusetts, and guess what? Patrick Kennedy has said he’s not running for reelection in Rhode Island. He’s got a 62% disapproval…
  Can’t wait till the 2010 elections.
• Generic polls favor Republicans by huge margins.
• Sarah Palin is getting write-ups now in the Mindless Media that Barack Obama would kill for. Joe Klein and David Broder, the same day, wrote 90% lauding favorable pieces of Sarah Palin.
  You go, girl!
• Of course, then there’s Robert Gibbs. We have to feel sorry for Obama because of Baghdad Bob Gibbs –“We’ve seen in survey after survey that Americans want to see Republicans and Democrats stand together on health care.”
  …stand together AGAINST health care.
• Guantanamo Bay is still open.
  God Bless the U.S. Military.
• Obama will not drop the idea of trying Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York City.
  I don’t think we’ve heard the end of this from the Big Apple.
• Michelle Obama has told the world that her daughters are fatties.
• ClimateGate, a total hoax, has been exposed. Record cold temperatures worldwide over the past year, mind-numbing blizzards and Algore nowhere to be found.
  If it doesn’t snow, it’s a sign of global warming… If it snows to much, it’s a sign of global warming… Am I missing something here? Really, that’s what it comes down to? What has happened to common since?
  Oh, right, we’re all just idiots…
• Obama embraces bank bonuses after trashing them for a year.
  Sounds a bits schizophrenic.
• Obama prematurely and awkwardly gives away the lie of not taxing the hell out of the middle class.
  Shocking, eh?
• Joe Biden has, in effect, said mission accomplished to Bush and Cheney for their brilliant policy in Iraq by claiming it’s one of the greatest achievements of the Obama administration.
  We’ve moved from schizophrenic to delusional.
• The tea parties are working.
  Thank God.
• There’s this story from The Politico: “Family Feud: Pelosi at Odds with Obama.”
  “House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s increasingly public disagreements with President Barack Obama are a reflection of something deeper: the seething resentment some Democrats feel over what they see as cavalier treatment from a wounded White House.”
  Modern day ‘three stooges’ — Obama, Pelosi and Reed.
• And then of course Dingy Harry has pulled the jobs bill. He’s reducing it from $85 billion to $15 billion.
  The only ‘jobs’ this administration understands – Union and Government Bureaucracy employment.
• The deadly shooting attack by Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad on a military recruiting center in Little Rock, Arkansas in May 2009 that killed a US soldier and injured another.
  Lets not assume he’s Muslim.  That would be acting “Stupidly“.  Terrorist 1, Obama 0.
• Obama takes three days to respond to the Christmas underwear Bomber… three days! If not for luck, the attack would have claimed the lives of at least 300 people, not to mention those who might have died on the ground.
  I do not believe our security should rely on luck… do you? Terrorist 2, Obama 0.
• Obama Refuses to Call Ft. Hood Massacre an Act of Terror.
  A shooting that killed 13 and wounded scores of others, preceded by a SHOUT OUT… Priorities, anyone? Terrorist 3, Obama 0. Feeling safe yet??

May 5, 2010 : Revised additions

• Pelosi: “But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.”
  This is how Liberals legislate. Be afraid… very afraid.
• Obamacare becomes law.
  Democrats ignore overwhelming public opposition to ObamaCare and pass it anyway, and Obama continues to ‘Sell’ his plan to no avail.
• Obama takes over ALL Student Loans, under the cover of Obamacare, hidden in 2400 pages of socialist transformation.
  Did you even know the name of the bill? Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010
• Obama snubbed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
  Not a problem meeting with Cuba or Iran, with friends like that, who needs allies?
• Obama refuses to call Massacre at Ft. Hood an Act of Terrorism. President hides behind irrational political correctness again.
  How can we fight terrorism, when the Commander in Chief won’t even acknowledge it.
• War on Terror renamed by Obama Administration.
  No such thing as ‘Islamist terrorism’ in ObamaWorld.  Man Made Disaster? Overseas Contigency Operation?
• Obama excludes private and Catholic school children from the Easter egg roll ticket giveaway.
  A Uniter, Not A Divider? Respect for religion? Really?
• Obama announces that he will approve oil and gas exploration.
  If you believe this one, I have some swampland in Florida to sell you.
• Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev sign the latest Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START)
  Damn… I feel more secure already.  Love those Communist…Ya know they don’t lie.
• “NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden said Tuesday that President Barack Obama has asked him to ‘find ways to reach out to dominantly Muslim countries’ as the White House pushes the space agency to become a tool of international diplomacy.”
  Hu?? WTF… When did NASA become a Public Relations Department?
• Obama hasn’t held a formal press conference in almost a year.
  Where is the Media? Do dictators have to answer questions? Guess not.
• Obama administration continued ‘War’ on Tea Party Patriots. Racist, bigoted, violent, ignorant, hate-filled, intolerant…
  Why does the administration and it’s subordinates continue to defame the most patriotic, God-loving, law abiding, compassionate citizens I’ve ever met?
• Army Disinvites Franklin Graham from National Day of Prayer Event.
  Obama:”…we have a very large Christian population — we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation…”
  USA ranks #1 in National Christian Population.  225 Million / 85% of the Population. Maybe he wants to transform America to a Muslim Nation??
• Obama’s Katrina – Despite plan, not a single fire boom on hand on Gulf Coast at time of oil spill.
  A crisis is a terrible thing to waste, when you can blame it on BIG OIL.
• Governor Jan Brewer signed an immigration law that launched a national debate. Obama called the effort “misguided” and directed the Justice Department to monitor its implementation, warning that it could violate citizens’ civil rights.
  Obama and his regime govern against the will of the people. CBS Poll: 60 percent of Americans say Arizona’s tough new immigration law is “about right” or “doesn’t go far enough.” Are you listening, Washington?
• Times Square attempted car bombing, once again, lucky the bomb didn’t go off.  Obama spent about 50 seconds reassuring us that nothing had happened and nothing will happen, everything’s okay in New York, now back to the economy…
  Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk? …  Terrorist 4, Obama 0.
  

May 13, 2010 : addition

• Holder said at a House Judiciary Committee hearing when asked had he read the state law cracking down on illegal immigrants. — Fox News: May 13, 2010
  Wondering if anyone in Washington actually reads anything…

Unfortunately I see no end to this post and the troubling issues it exposes.
