I Have More Than Enough To Do
Obama has now blamed his socialist policies on the former president,
Bush.
The background: a reporter asked Obama today if he was a
socialist. Obama initially gave a flip answer but after thinking
about it, later called reporters back from the Oval Office.
"It
was hard for me to believe that you were entirely serious about that
socialist question," Obama said.
Then Obama said, in effect,
don’t blame me. Blame Bush.
"It wasn’t under me that we
started buying a bunch of shares of banks. It wasn’t on my watch.
And it wasn’t on my watch that we passed a massive new entitlement -–
the prescription drug plan -- without a source of funding…. We’ve
actually been operating in a way that has been entirely consistent with
free-market principles and that some of the same folks who are throwing
the word 'socialist' around can’t say the same."
And at 1:40,
Obama makes this unbelievable statement -- "You know, I have more than
enough to do without having to worry about the financial system."
Who Vet Obama?
Even though the main stream media ignores the Obama birth
controversy it still rages on the internet in articles and blogs. Is it
extraneous nonsense, conspiracy claptrap and internet hype? Not by
a long shot -- here's a
snippet
from RenewAmerica.us.
Because of the Supreme Court's refusal to
hear the cases put before them after conferencing them the speculation
about Obama's missing documents including his signed birth certificate
from the state of Hawaii, the mystery grows, the intrigue is compelling
and the arguments have become the most volatile on the web.
In
the absence of judicial intervention all the questioners and petitioners
have only one avenue of recourse and that is to keep plugging away.
With new cases arising and old cases still pending the latest thrust is
to approach legislators with the question.
Often overlooked is
the simple wisdom used in the logic of both the main stream media and
the naysayers in general. In fact the very premise the naysayers
are basing their argument on should be turned on them to be most
effective.
It was not the Supreme Court that vetted Obama, not
the state courts, not the election commissions, not the attorneys
general, not the legislature, not the DNC and not the Hawaii Office of
Vital Statistics.
Just exactly who vet Obama? You
guessed it -- a few carefully placed bloggers!
And how did they
do it?
By sticking some questionable digital images on the
Internet -- and they misrepresented what the images were --
FactCheck.org
still refers to Obama's Certification of Live Birth as a "birth
certificate" -- it's not, and FactCheck.org knows it.
Obama's
bloggers released his questionable digital documents using the
World-Wide Web, and anyone who questions their questionable version of
things gets labeled a "Birther" and relegated to the "fringe."
Well, KMA!
A million dollars worth of legal is suspicious as hell
-- teams of lawyers in a dozen states -- lawyers for colleges huddling
with Obama's lawyers-- and the DNC has their lawyers in there too.
And for what -- to hide Obama's birth, travel and college records
from the public.
Hiding one's most basic information is
suspicious as hell and only makes me wonder, what could possibly be on
-- or missing from -- that birth certificate, and those college records,
that makes this a fight worth fighting?
Aren't you curious?
The Movement
On the web page, "The
Movement" it says that Obama has...
...been organizing the
cadre of his personal, civilian national security force -- his "shadow
army" -- at fifteen fully-staffed and populated indoctrination centers
since 1992.
Public Allies, modeled after Alinsky's "people’s
organizations," is operating under the watchful eye of Michelle Obama
and it has a ton of money -- more than $75 million per year -- and an
impressive list of donors. Naturally, it also receives grants from
federal, state and municipal sources. Its mission has been, and
is, to produce "community organizers" -- baby Obamas -- and its process
is replicable and repeatable -- continually producing more apparatchiks
in "the community," where these people are perceived of as leaders.
They answer to only one person -- Obama.
These community
organizers have constituencies that can be mobilized, at the touch of a
button, into political actions -- mobs in the streets -- to influence
public opinion and the political process -- real visual stuff that
Obama's water-carriers in the media will broadcast 24/7.
In
addition to these shock troops, Obama has a reserve of 13 million-plus
in his personal database that he is actively expanding. This pool
of Internet-savvy people can be used to promote or attack any issue.
Obama can direct tens of thousands of emotional emails, phone calls and
letters on any target.
Now, Breitbart
reports in, "Obama musters campaign army for economic fight," that
Obama is out to do just that -- to muster his powerful people's army,
calling on his millions of supporters to write letters, make phone calls
and send emails to lobby on behalf of his budget and economic plan.
The appeal to back the president was made in an email and video sent
out by "Organizing for America," the organization which morphed out of
Obama's campaign machinery to push his agenda when he entered the White
House.
In the video, Mitch Stewart, the director of "Organizing
for America," urged the president's supporters to take part in the
"Organizing for America Pledge Project."
"By pledging and
building support you will be taking the first steps towards establishing
a nationwide grassroots network, neighborhood by neighborhood, standing
side by side with President Obama as we bring about our agenda for
change."
David Plouffe says that "Organizing for America" is not
aimed at twisting the arms of members of Congress but meant to keep
activists engaged on issues such as health care, energy and the economy.
When Obama's people control health care, energy and the economy, they
pretty much have you by the shorts.
Good little Maoists swim with the fishes. Change is
implemented bottom-up. Alinsky says so
If need be, you can
expect to see the demonstrations, led by Obama's trained and ready-to-go
community organizers --and ACORN will have its part to play.
Their "actions" will be all over TV,
dramatically described by "independent journalists" like David Gregory
and Chris Matthews.
China Challenges Obama
"Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world
tests Barack Obama." -- Vice-presidential candidate Joe Biden, Oct. 19,
2008.
"Analysts say this could be a test of the new
administration, and the Chinese will be focusing less on words than on
what American ships actually do at sea." -- Chris Lawrence, CNN Pentagon
correspondent, March 9, 2009
Joe Biden made it with months to
spare. An international power has
challenged Obama. It came yesterday at the hand of China.
As CNN’s Lawrence described it on today’s Situation Room:
"Sunday in the South China Sea, five Chinese boats
aggressively blocked the American ship Impeccable [an unarmed
submarine-intelligence gatherer]. One closed to within 25 feet and
ordered the Navy ship to leave. When the Impeccable asked for a
safe path out of the area, two boats cut it off and forced an emergency
stop. And the Navy says Chinese sailors dropped pieces of wood in
the Impeccable’s path."
Added Lawrence: "The Pentagon calls
it 'one of the most aggressive actions we’ve seen in some time.'"
Asked about the incident at today’s press conference, WH press
secretary Robert Gibbs responded: "we’re going to continue to operate in
those international waters, and we expect the Chinese to observe
international law around it."
CNN aired a clip from a Heritage
Foundation expert:
"If we back off on the right of navigation, if
we give in to bullying, the Chinese will interpret that as a real signal
of weakness."
China has thrown down a wooden gauntlet. The
world will be watching how Obama handles it . . .
300,000 Jobs to Illegals
An estimated 300,000 construction jobs paid for by the stimulus
plan will go to illegal workers after leading Democrats removed a
provision requiring verification of citizenship.
The House
version of the $787 billion stimulus bill required verification of the
legal residency of anyone put to work by its spending. But that
provision was removed from the bill before members of Congress met to
reconcile the House and Senate versions of the bill.
Steven
Camarota, director of research for the Center for Immigration Studies
(CIS), tells
Newsmax the verification provision was deleted by Democratic leaders
even before the bill reached the conference committee, where differences
between House and Senate legislation are normally ironed out.
"When it got to conference, the top people -- not just the conference
members, but the top people: Reid, Pelosi, and Obama -- chose to
kill the provision and not include it," Camarota says. "This was a
purposeful decision."
The provision would have required that
workers’ names to be vetted through the Internet-based E-Verify system.
E-Verify, a joint project of the Department of Homeland Security and the
Social Security Administration, gives employers a quick means of
verifying employee eligibility.
"E-Verify is our most effective
tool for preventing illegal immigrants from getting jobs, and they chose
not to use it," says Camarota.
The estimate of 300,000
construction jobs is based on U.S. Census and other studies showing that
approximately 15 percent of U.S. construction workers are illegal
immigrants.
"In general construction jobs are reasonably good
paying jobs for working class people, and we’re talking about perhaps
300,000 of them going to people who aren’t supposed to be even in the
country,"
Camarota says. "And this is money coming from
taxpayers. The whole point of the stimulus is to put Americans
back to work. And by not including E-Verify, it’s a terrible slap in the
face to U.S. construction workers, who are currently experiencing a 10
percent, sometimes even 15 percent unemployment rate."
Operation Rushbo
Last week, Politico
reported
that the White House had quarterbacked "Operation Rushbo" as a means of
demonizing Republicans, exactly the kind of political character
assassination Barack Obama had campaigned against for the past two
years. Today, the
International Herald-Tribune and the
New York Times confirm this, albeit inadvertently, in a profile of
Obama’s closest political adviser.
David Axelrod gave the
order to launch the attack machine.
The recent back-and-forth
with Rush Limbaugh, for example, was explicitly authorized by Axelrod,
who told aides that it was not a moment to sit quietly after Limbaugh
said he hoped that Obama would "fail."
The White House has ginned
up an
attack machine to pillory Rush Limbaugh, but meanwhile dozens of
high-level appointments have yet to be made at Treasury. They’re
too overwhelmed to figure out correct protocol for Gordon Brown’s visit
(and too busy to offer decent gifts), but they have the time to
coordinate attacks on a radio-show host.
