We Are A Nation of Laws And The Jury Has Spoken
President Obama has made the following statement concerning the "NOT GUILTY" verdict in the murder trial of George Zimmerman:
The death of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy. Not just for his family, or for any one community, but for America. I know this case has elicited strong passions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher. But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken. I now ask every American to respect the call for calm reflection from two parents who lost their young son. And as we do, we should ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to widen the circle of compassion and understanding in our own communities. We should ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to stem the tide of gun violence that claims too many lives across this country on a daily basis. We should ask ourselves, as individuals and as a society, how we can prevent future tragedies like this. As citizens, that’s a job for all of us. That’s the way to honor Trayvon Martin.
I am so glad that Obama is concerned about gun violence and preventing tragedies that he addressed the 1.5 murders a day that occur in Chicago. It is estimated that about 80% of the homicides in Chicago are gang related.
It broke my heart when Obama talked about the tragic death of Jonylah Watkins who was only six-months old. She died when Koman Willis tried to shoot her father Jonathan Watkins. Don't wait for Al Sharpton, et all to tell you that the alleged motive for this shooting was that Willis believed that Watkins had stolen a video game system and drugs from him.
Surely you remember the protest marches with people chanting "No justice. No peace." You don't? Well maybe you remember how there was a bounty put out on Willis. You're right, that didn't happen either. Surely you remember when the President said, "If I had another daughter, she would look just like Jonylah Watkins." I didn't hear that either.
I also NEVER heard Obama express concern about the violence that occurs on a daily basis in his adopted hometown of Chicago using the public platform that is afforded a President.
Last night, defense attorney Mark O'Mara was asked if George Zimmerman had been black and Trayvon had been white how would the case have been different. I was kind of surprised when he articulated what many people suspect.
Mr. O'Mara said, "I think that things would have been different if George Zimmerman was black for this reason. He never would have been charged with a crime."
O'Mara also acknowledged the racial elements of the case and blamed the media and civil rights group attention on this case for twisting the course of justice.
Now today, the President of the United States speaks out about this case asking people to honor the decision of the court. This may be laudable until one realizes that the Attorney General Eric Holder continue this circus by bringing forth civil rights charges against Zimmerman.
I for one would NOT be surprised in the least since we already know that the Department of Justice under the direction of Eric Holder joined the NAACP, Al Sharpton, and others in creating pressure to prosecute Zimerman despite the fact that the investigating officers did not feel they had the evidence to go forward in the case.
We have also been assured by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) that this isn't over and he has asked the Justice Department to prosecute George Zimmerman.
This despite the fact that the Justice Department has already conducted an exhaustive investigation to determine whether Zimmerman killed Martin out of racial animus Yes I said NO EVIDENCE.
But don't worry, Obama has assured us that we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken.

Those Three Little Words That Mean So Much
No, not those beautiful and pulse-racing words whispered between two lovers. Obama has three different words for you; "Made in the USA". I know what you're saying, hey that's more than three words, but how can we possibly argue with the smartest President ever to occupy the White House. You know, the guy who said he'd been to all "57 states". Yea that one.
He first uttered these words while rallying supporters in Kissimmee, Fla., Saturday, which of course could just be chalked up as a simple mistake. That is of course unless Sara Palin were to have uttered the same words and then it would have been proof positive that she's so dumb she can't count to three.
Funny thing happend in Melbourne, Florida when he once again assured the the party faithful that he wants the world to see products stamped with three proud words: Made in the USA. That’s what we’re fighting for. That’s the future we want,”
To be honest, I don’t care that Obama made this mistake, it is a non-issue. I do care that he is spending us into bankruptcy. Mr. Obama I absolutely remember that you said, “As president I will reduce the National Debt by half in three years I'll be a one-term President."
If you mean what you said and said what you meant, then bye-bye baby bye-bye.

Tatiana Limanova Is Fired Over One Finger Salute
Russian news anchor shows Obama the middle finger - November 21, 2011 Vidéo mirrorthis2010 sélectionnée dans Actualité
Russian anchor, Tatiana Limanova, was fired over her one finger salute to U.S. President Barack Obama.
It's certainly not as if our President would ever lower himself to make such a crass gesture. Obviously when Obama scratched his face with middle finger during the April 17, 2008 speech he made in Raleigh, NC. I mean EVERYONE scratches their face with their middle finger don't they? The crowd certainly caught on though because you can hear them cheering the gesture.
Then again it wasn't like he was the President or anything. Certainly this was a juvenile trick, not worthy of someone who at the time was the front runner for the nomination.
It is obvious that "if" this had been deliberate, it was a remarkably childish thing to do, completely unworthy of anyone running for the presidency.
Obviously it is inappropriate to flip off a world leader just as it would be inappropriate to play the song "Lyin' Ass Bitch" by Fishbone when a female candidate for President appears on television.
Certainly our media would treat people better than that. Unless of course that female candidate was Michlle Bachmann. Don't worry though because that's all been taken care of because the Jimmy Fallon show's band was "severely reprimanded."
Kudos to New York Democrat Nita Lowey, who said the song was "...insulting and inappropriate. I do not share Michele Bachmann's politics, but she deserves to be treated with respect."

Obama Heckled By Occupy Wall Street
President Obama was heckled today by members of the Occupy Wall Street Movement in front a crowd packed into a Manchester, N.H., high school gym,
Occupy Wall Streeters could be heard chanting, "Over 4,000 peaceful protesters have been arrested while 'banksters' continue to destroy the American economy."
Just curious, when people from the Occupy movement heckle Obama, are they racist? I seem to remember that this was the charge leveled against tea party members when they spoke out against Obama.
President Obama bailed out everyone except the 99% that these Occupy people claim to be members. Maybe Occupy protesters didn't get the memo.
The longer the Occupy protests go on the more I am reminded of the 1968 Democratic National Convention. Thousands of young activists from around the nation gathered in the city to protest the Vietnam War. In a clash which was covered on live television, Americans were shocked to see Chicago police brutally beating antiwar protesters in the streets of Chicago. While the protesters chanted "The whole world's watching," the police used clubs and tear gas to beat back the protesters, leaving many of them bloody and dazed.
Obama and some of the Democrats may feel that the Occupy Movement can be a power harnessed to re-elect the Democrats but they obviously failed to take a good hard look at how that actually worked for the Democrats back in '68.
The tragedy of the antiwar riots crippled Humphrey's campaign from the start, and it never fully recovered. If you don't believe that pepper-spraying student protestors isn't hurting the President, you might just want to watch the video once again and listen to what is being said.

Russian Journalist Shows Obama Some Love
Russian news anchor shows Obama the middle finger - November 21, 2011 Vidéo mirrorthis2010 sélectionnée dans Actualité
Not that I speak Russian or anything, but I'm thinking that whole middle finger salute thing might not be a sign of enduring love or respect for our President.
It appears that Obama's heart-warming outreach to other countries after the "cowboy diplomacy" of the Bush years is certainly having an affect. Perhaps not the affect that Obama's supporters thought it would but an affect all the same.
Ah the bad old days when EVIL George Bush was in charge. We were told time and time again that George W. Bush’s foreign policy was alienating our allies, enraging our enemies, and making America less safe.
Thank goodness Obama's been able to bring the world together with his community organizer skills. It certainly looks like he's winning the hearts and minds of the world doesn't it?

After The Thrill Has Gone
It appears the thrill is one, or at least Chris no longer feels a tingle up his leg at the mere thought of Obama.
To hear Chris describe Obama as just an empty suit living in a virtual world comes as a surprise to those of us who remember the Chris' coverage of Obama's inauguration. How "racist" of you Chris to say that Obama is not the deity you once thought he was. I mean it would be racist if someone on the right said it but gee golly I'm sure YOU didn't mean it to be "racist".
By the way was that a Freudian slip when Chris said "...we are waiting for our marching orders..." I thought you were a journalist Chris not a mouthpiece for the Obama administration. Then again, I do remember that you still felt that as a journalist, it is your job to help Obama succeed.” By the way, how's that going for you Chris?
Actually this clip sound a bit more like a woman scorned and you know what they say about them don't you? Maybe you should just sit by the phone and wait for it to ring.
Que song by Player:
Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong, and I just can't live without you

Five Phrases You Shouldn't Use On Social Networks
Gather round my tin foil hatters, I have a story to tell you it's sad but true.
Do you remember when the dawning of the Age of Obama arrived and all his acolytes proclaimed that his lordship would usher in a reign of transparency such as we have never seen before.
Sadly like so much of Obama's hopey-changey thing, what he said is not necessarily what his administration is doing.
You see, the Obama/Holder Justice Department is attempting to re-write the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), empowering or even compelling government agencies to deny the very existence of records they know to exist if they believe they are legitimately exempted from disclosure.
In plain English the Obama/Holder Justice Department would then be the sole arbiters as to what information they choose to share and what information is classified as a "State Secret" and therefore exempt from disclosure.
So much for Change You Can Believe In!!!!
By the way, you may just want to be careful about the words you post on social websites. That's because the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), says DHS could track certain words and that information could be stored for up to five years and shared with other agencies.
Hmmmm. This whole things sounds vaguely familiar doesn't it? Let's see I seem to remember reading about a world with pervasive government surveillance, and incessant public mind control, accomplished with a political system ruled by cult of personality of Big Brother. Oh yeah, now I remember, I read it in the book 1984!
Guess it's time to re-read the book.

Is Obama Thin Skinned? Liberal Maureen Dowd Thinks So
This is another example of a liberal pointing something out about the President that would be interpreted as "racist" had Sarah Palin said the same thing.
DOWD: Oh, he doesn't- He's- he's very unlike- You know, it's funny and I cut him a lot of slack here, because many presidents like JFK and W have rich daddies. And so, they have a lot of confidence. But he's had to develop a lot of shields. He's come up, you know, basically, as Michelle says, he was raised by wolves. So, you know, he has a lot of shields. So, he's thin-skinned. And when you're thin-skinned, you like to control the image. And he doesn't often like the image that the media has of him.
Wow, wolves? Who were the wolves? Were they his white Grandparents that raised him most of his life? Is white mother who came and went through his life? Was it his father who abandoned him when he was a young boy? Who exactly were the wolves? Just curious.
By the way, I was also interested how a "feminist" would label certain traits as being male or female.
You see in this same interview she tells Stephanopoulos that people like Hillary and Sarah Palin have traditional male traits, which is alpha, "my way or the highway."
Obama on the other hand has female management traits. Consensus, compromise, and listening to everyone.
I may just have to get my feminist handbook out, but I really believe that we were taught that men and women were the same. There were no differences. Well of course the body part difference but other than that we were all just plain old human. What about that Maureen?

Where Is The Love?

As Bob Dylan once sang, “The Times They Are A Changing.” Not long ago parents had their kids singing about how Obama was gonna spread happinesss and it honestly seemed as though the love fest would never end. His sycophants were virtually praising his every move.
But I forgot the refrain from another 60’s song that said “What goes up, must come down” and Obama’s stock seems to be falling.
It was one thing to watch John Stewart begin to point out that Obama was not all that he was cracked up to be. John’s a comedian and it’s his job to poke fun at politicians. Sadly he forgot that and spent his time letting us know that he believes that Sarah Palin is the dumbest person ever. Lately though he’s been pointing out Obama’s short comings and gasp….he’s not the only one.
Last week we saw Keith Olbermann leaving the Daily Kos because he was attacked there for mildly criticizing Barack Obama. Actually Keith was a little taken aback by the attack.
Now comes another left leaning site has begun tombstoning posters who do not follow a lengthy set of rules for posting on the site cautioning members not to tell people to shut up. This is because of a current wave of dissent from who are expressing dissatisfaction with Obama's poor performance as president.
They are disappointed because they see Obama as a president who ran on a message of change, hope and frankness is looking more and more like just another goddamn politician faking the appearance of mastery.
Name-calling against prominent Democrats. Calling Barack Obama "Barry" or some other name. I suppose calling him Barak Hussein Obama would be just over the top.
You can Broadly suggesting that there is no difference between Barack Obama and George W. Bush, or that there is no difference between Democrats and Republicans. You are not allowed to suggest that President Obama has perpetrated a "con job" or "fraud," or similarly over-the-top assertions of bad faith.
I hear another song coming on, que Earth, Wind, and Fire.
“And oh After the love is gone.
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around
Oh Oh Oh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that’s lost be found."

Garofalo: Obama’s Use of Prayer ‘Anti-Intellectual’
or maybe Garofalo just "hates a black man" in the White House because he mentions prayer and says that he is a Christian. I mean he did say he was a Christian didn't he? Does that make him stupid Ms. Garofalo? Perhaps he's just a liar and someone who panders to stupid people. Which is it?
Meanwhile, what did the White House have to ssay about Obama's fun filled weekend?
It appears that when asked about Obama's day Saturday, in particular his four hour golf game at a course near Washington, Burton said the president had the right to decompress a bit after a hard week.
"I don't think that there's a person in this country that doesn't think that their president ought to have a little time to clear his mind," Burton said.
"I think that a little time to himself on Father's Day weekend probably does us all good as American citizens," he said.
Wonder if the same would have been said had this been a Republican President?
On the other hand I'm just certain that Obama is focused like a laser beam on the oil spill in the Gulf.

Meanwhile Back At The Oil Spill

While the residents of the Gulf Coast deal with the spill in the Gulf, BP CEO Tony Hayward, decided to go sailing. It's so nice to have "your life back" isn't it Tony? Since you love to sail, perhaps you could head on over to the Gulf, and stop the flow of oil. The "small people" sure could use your help.
Another person who seems to have his life back is Obama. Obama attended the Washington Nationals game Friday night wearing a cap for his hometown Chicago White Sox. Sources told the pool reporter that Obama sang “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” and left in the ninth inning, before the White Sox edged out the Nationals 2-1 in the 11th.
Does that mean you plugged the hole daddy?
The White House pool report noted that Obama left at about 1 p.m. for the course at Andrews Air Force base, and his golfing partners included White House Trip Director Marvin Nicholson and David Katz, the energy efficiency campaign manager at the Department of Energy.
Obama left the course shortly before 6 p.m.
Maybe he left early so he could clean up the Gulf.
Do you have the audacity to HOPE that Obama could lay off the golf, the baseball and the FANCY DANCY parties?

I'm Glad Obama Was Able To Clear His Calendar
Obama says he was there from Day One. Don't you find it interesting that the Dems are not saying that the information in this video is wrong? Instead they are speaking about how wrong it was to politicize this tragedy.
I'm sorry, does anyone remember Katrina? I mean is Spike Lee going to come out with a new movie saying Obama doesn't like pelicans? Where is Al Gore? Can he get out of your mistress' bed and save the world from global warming?
Oh and by the way where are those troops you promised to send to the border President Obama? I realize it's been a month now and you are awful busy.
This Is Obama's Oil Spill
Did you hear that? After over 30 days of this incompetence a liberal actually lets Obama know this is "HIS Oil Spill".
Of course it was Bush's Hurricane from day one. It didn't matter that the city of New Orleans refused to make evacuation mandatory. It didn't matter that the city refused to use buses to help evacuate the city as the hurricane headed their way. It didn't matter that the city's OWN plan was to head on over to the Louisiana Superdome was the city's refuge of last resort for 14,000 unable to evacuate New Orleans until Sunday 9:30AM. That's actually because it was New Orleans plan (1998) A for what to do in an emergency. Did make mistakes? ABSOLUTELY and we heard it over and over and over again.
It took 51 days before there was a hint of dissension on the left towards Obama.
Al Gore where are you? What about the polar bears Al?

"I Don't Sense Executive Command..."
Is the thrill gone Chris? Are you no longer feeling it run up your leg? What is that Chris, you're tired of hearing about the Nobel Peace Prize winner on the commission? Are you tired of hearing it's George Bush's fault too?
Remember when Chris Matthews said on air after Obama won the election that "I see my job as a journalist as doing everything I can to make the Obama presidency a success". You're not doing your job as a journalist are you Chris. I mean look how you worked endlessly to make Bush's presidency a success and now..,sorry my bad your job is only to make OBAMA's presidency a success. Well work harder man!!!!
Perhaps, to turn a phrase from Janeane Garofalo, this is about hating the black man in the White House. This is racism straight up and is nothing but a bunch of teabagging rednecks. There is no way around that." Their synapses are misfiring. ... It is a neurological problem we are dealing with,"
I doubt that we will be hearing that from Ms. Garofalo when it comes to commenting about Chris Matthews.
