Obama 2004 Complains Bush Rushed Legislation

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

ObamaCare Vote Without Reading

In a recently discovered audio, Obama being interviewed on MSNBC complains that the GOP is rushing legislation through Congress before one has an opportunity to read the bill.

Obama: “…When you rush these budgets that are a foot high and nobody has any idea what’s in them…”

Randi Rhodes: “14 pounds was it?”

Obama: “Yea and it gets rushed through without any clear deliberations or debate and I think that this in someways what happened to the Patriot Act…”

Rep. John Conyers, D-MI sees no point in reading 1,000 page ObamaCare, unless one has two lawyers to help interpret the bill.

Not very reassuring, does not instill a lot of confidence in the Democrat controlled Congress.

Obama: I Will Negotiate With Terrorists

Monday, July 27th, 2009

WTC Collapse
An effort is underway, to begin engaging in negotiations with Islamic Jihad Terrorist Thugs.

There was a time when B. Hussein Obama vowed that he was unwilling to negotiate with terrorists but that must have been so yesterday (actually only but a couple of months ago) the Obama Administration does not want anyone to remember that.

Obama Administration Demise Of Transparency

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

Obama Transparency

Ed Morrissey of HotAir writes at Corner NRO “The Continued Demise of Transparency”

“I seem to recall when Barack Obama promised the most open and transparent administration ever. Since his inauguration, Obama has fired one Inspector General (IG) for daring to oppose a sweetheart settlement with a political ally, allowed another to get dumped by the agency  that she oversaw and now, has publicly fueded with Barofsky.

Earlier they tried to limit his authority by claiming that Barofsky did not work independently of Treasury, which got a stern letter from Sen. Charles Grassley.

It looks like the White House has declared war on transparency and especially the IG’s, who exist to provide it.

Democrat-Socialist Censorship Block GOP Mailing

Friday, July 24th, 2009

Nancy Pelosi Socialism

Democrat-Socialists are preventing Republican House Members from sending to their constituents a mailing that is critical of the Majority’s Health Care reform plan, blocking the mailing by alleging that it is inaccurate.

House Republicans are crying foul, claiming that the Democrat-Socialists are using their Majority to prevent the GOP Members from communicating with their constituents.

The dispute centers on a chart created by Kevin Brady, R-TX and Republican staffers of the Joint Economic Committee to illustrate the organization of the Democrat-Socialist Health Care Plan.

Obama’s Traveling Medicine Goes To Ohio

Obama Snake Oil

Obama brings his Health Care hustle to Cleveland, its your lucky day Ohio—Dr. Obama’s traveling medicine show is in town.

Step right up folks, press in close around the wagon and hear the good doctor pronounce with preternatural  poise on the  prodigiously potent properties of his potion, a panacea so powerful that he predicts—nay, promises—that it will prevail, even over the laws of economics but only if you believe.

My dear people, Doctor Obama doesn’t want your money, not today, what he wants today ladies and gentlemen is your trust. What he needs today is your faith.

Democrat-Socialist Congress: Soak The Rich

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Tax the Rich

Make the Rich pay for it—For decades this has been the “modus operandi” of politicians and public figures officials who rely on unsustainable government growth and skyrocketing taxpayer debt to pad their patronage and expand their influence. It’s also the driving force behind House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel, new “health care surtax” which the New York Democrat says will raise $540 Billion Dollars over the next 10 years to pay for ObamaCare.

Who would end up paying for Rangel’s surtax? All joint filers making over $350,000—before deductions, also the surtax applies to all forms of income, including wages, dividends and capital gains.

This latest “bleed the moderately rich” scam, comes from a tried and true, big government playbook. In fact, its every bit as predictable  as the blooming of the cherry blossoms, the naming of another Government Czar or whichever beltway sex scandal is dominating the cocktail parties chatter and like countless other government schemes of its kind, it will no doubt be communicated to middle class mail boxes or television sets via slick advertisements that invoke how wealthy Americans are enjoying “faster jets or bigger swimming pools” while poor people “lay starving in the streets.”

Sound familiar?
