Conservative Rumblings

Nice. Obama and his cronies wanted to make sure they had some nice softball questions to field. It wouldn’t look so good if the Messiah had to take a hard question and stuttered and stammered his way through it now would it?

But while the online question portion of the White House town hall was open to any member of the public with an Internet connection, the five fully identified questioners called on randomly by the president in the East Room were anything but a diverse lot. They included: a member of the pro-Obama Service Employees International Union, a member of the Democratic National Committee who campaigned for Obama among Hispanics during the primary; a former Democratic candidate for Virginia state delegate who endorsed Obama last fall in an op-ed in the Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star; and a Virginia businessman who was a donor to Obama’s campaign in 2008.

(emphasis added)

Change We Can Believe In? Sure it is: we’re combining the media and the government into one horrid, multi-tentacled freedom-sapping beast.

We already know that Obama has made A LOT of mistakes. Now, Don Surber, a columnist with the Charleston Daily Mail, has helpfully put them together in a spectacularly handy list of them for us!

64 mistakes in 60 days…pretty amazing for someone who was supposed to be the “savior of America.”

See the full list here.

Some of my favorites:

15. Using the word “crisis” 25 times in a speech, then later complaining that people are too negative about the economy.
16. Letting Nancy Pelosi write the $787 billion “stimulus’ plan.
17. Relying on Tim Geithner to explain it.
18. Putting Joe Biden in charge of making sure the stimulus money is not — wink, wink, nudge, nudge — misspent.
34. Ticking off Switzerland by having his tax cheat go after the tax cheats in Switzerland. Cognitive dissonance.
45. Sending a “reset” button to Russia, presumably to diss the last 70 years of America standing up to communism.
49. Telling Caroline Kennedy she would, you know, make, um a good, you know, senator.
52. Telling reporters privately: “President Obama has accomplished more in 30 days than any president in modern history.”
55. Signing earmarks while denouncing them.
56. Adding signing statements while denouncing them.
57. Quadrupling the deficits, while denouncing them.
64. Banning the press from covering his acceptance of a press association award.

How long is it going to take for people to realize this man has no business being the Commander In Chief?

Good call, Dear Leader. Let’s decide that we’re no longer at “war” with terrorists, let our guard down, and then disarm our pilots. I’m sure that’s going to be really successful. Unfortunately, that’s successful for the terrorists, not for us.

After the September 11 attacks, commercial airline pilots were allowed to carry guns if they completed a federal-safety program. No longer would unarmed pilots be defenseless as remorseless hijackers seized control of aircraft and rammed them into buildings.

Now President Obama is quietly ending the federal firearms program, risking public safety on airlines in the name of an anti-gun ideology.

As the article states, Obama is catering to an extremely small segment of society (the radical anti-gun crowd) at the expense of the protection of the America public.

I’m not normally one to blog personal stories sans a news tie-in, but this was perhaps the most ridiculous scene I have witnessed in recent days by a cadre of Obamaniacs.

The setting: I’m in the McDonalds drive-thru to get my daily dose of artery-clogging goodness (fast metabolism, no worries), when suddenly a commotion erupts from the car behind me.

I turn off my music to see what’s going on, the first thing I hear is “Palin is a b—-! Who votes for that —-!” Use your imagination to fill in the blanks.

Forgot one part: I’m driving my good old 97 Chevy Tahoe…with a McCain/Palin sticker on the bumper, which apparently set off these two lunatics. They continue to scream, hurling invectives that don’t even bear repeating, but most of them revolved around McCain being a child molester and Palin being a b—-. Quality examples of the human race, these two; the sheer vileness of their chatter was enough for me to be disgusted that people like them would even be involved in choosing our president.

As I pulled up to the window, they pulled up behind me, turned up some absurd ghetto beat music really loud, EXITED THEIR CAR and started DANCING in the lane while SCREAMING “OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA!”

I couldn’t do anything but laugh hysterically at this point. Here I had two absolute frigging maniacal representatives of Obama’s ruling caste of voters, dancing in the parking lot while screaming the name of their savior, all set off by a McCain/Palin bumper sticker that affected them like a bell affected Pavlov’s dogs.

It was at the same time grotesquely entertaining and completely and utterly pathetic.

This is just one of the 250 million reasons why electing a community organizer with no foreign policy experience as president is a horrendously bad idea.

Obama, exercising his “diplomatic muscles,” has tucked his tail between his legs and offered to meekly destroy our plans for a missile defense shield in Europe since Russia is offended by it.

President Obama offered to consider scrapping plans for a missile defense shield in Europe if Russia helps rein in Iran’s nuclear program, the Russian newspaper Kommersant reported.

The article said Obama wrote to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to tell him Russia’s aid in resolving the threat from Iran would make the missile shield plans unnecessary, according to an account from Russian news agency RIA Novosti.

A senior administration official told FOX News that Obama sent a letter to Medvedev but “we won’t comment on the specifics.”

Obama inherited plans to build the system in Poland and the Czech Republic from the Bush administration, but the new administration has equivocated over the project. Though the plans were put in place to deter nations like Iran and North Korea from launching attacks and developing nuclear weapons, Russia has interpreted the planned installation as a threat.

Russia’s “help” on Iran? What is Russia going to do to “help?” Make greeting cards? Send baskets of vodka? Teach small children how to talk angrily? I mean, honestly, what do we gain from this? Nothing. What do we lose? One of our best chances to create a shield to protect ourselves and our allies from ballistic nuclear attacks.

The missile shield isn’t just for North Korea and Iran. This shield would protect us from the increasingly antagonistic Russia that looks like it’s trying to start Soviet Union 2.0, which is why they are offended by this.

Us accepting “help” from Russia in exchange for us sacrificing our national defense and the defense of our allies is like a farmer telling the fox he’ll take the fence away from the chicken house if the fox helps him kill a few squirrels. At the end of the day, the fox is still inside your fence.

The Obamessiah, early on in his administration, found a way around those pesky Senate confirmation hearings (which can be so annoying when you have a tax cheat like Turbo Tax Tim up there). His solution? “Czars,” appointees that he designated outside of any sort of formal structure. These individuals were supposed to accomplish certain tasks (for example, a “climate czar,” who turned out to be a socialist, among other things) and would answer only to him (and presumably the REAL President of the country, Rahm Emanuel).

The whole thing reeked of totalitarian consolidation of power. Obama doesn’t want to share his throne with anyone. Obviously people on the right have been pretty disturbed by this.

Now we’re joined by people in Obama’s own party.

Robert Byrd, the longest serving senator in history, criticized President Obama’s appointment of numerous White House advisors, also called “czars,” saying the presence of the czars gives the president too much power.

These czars report directly to Mr. Obama and have the power to shape national policy on their subject area. So far, Mr. Obama has recruited czars on health reform, urban affairs policy, and energy and climate change. Unlike Cabinet secretaries, they do not have to be approved by Congress.

In a letter to Obama on Wednesday, Byrd, a Democrat, said that the czar system “can threaten the Constitutional system of checks and balances,” Politico reported. Byrd added that oversight of federal agencies is the responsibility of officials approved by the Senate.

“As presidential assistants and advisers, these White House staffers are not accountable for their actions to the Congress, to cabinet officials, or to virtually anyone but the president,” Byrd wrote. “They rarely testify before congressional committees, and often shield the information and decision-making process behind the assertion of executive privilege. In too many instances, White House staff have been allowed to inhibit openness and transparency, and reduce accountability.”

Now obviously part of this is Byrd seeing his influence waning, but I really don’t care as to WHY he’s mad about it, only that he’s bringing it up. Obama’s czars have been grossly underestimated as a threat to the continued survival of the Constitution and freedom in America.

When even Robert Byrd, the longest serving Senator in Congress who is a staunch liberal, comes after you and you’re in the same party, you know there’s something frightening going on.

I played with your votes
Got lost in my fame
Oh, Daschle; Daschle.
Oops!
…You think I’m the savior
That I’m sent from above…
I’m just a Chicago po-li-tic-i-an

Sorry…couldn’t resist that one. They are both lousy entertainers. Now I just want to see Obama stumble out to a press conference and go, “That’s Barack, b—-!”

The Obamessiah is trying to salvage his ill-fated attempt to drag partisan universal healthcare wack-job Tom Daschle into his cabinet…but Daschle, like, oh, about every other one of Obama’s appointees, has some tax issues.

So now we have Geithner on tax issues, Killefer on tax issues, Daschle on tax issues…for the party of tax and spend, the Democrats sure have some problems paying their own, don’t they?

I don’t know why he thinks we should be happy that he readily admits he “screwed up.” What, that makes it ok? No, it doesn’t. He is an inexperienced, arrogant and crooked Chicago politician, and he’s only sorry that he got caught, not that he did it. This is only the tip of the iceberg.

We’re have this many issues with crooked and cheating NOMINEES! Just wait until his administration is actually DOING stuff. Good Lord.
