The Outsourced Presidency

Yesterday President Obama commented on Anthony Weiner’s 3 weeks of stunning moral depravity and offered this remarkable piece of leading-from-behind:  "if it was me, I'd resign".  But of course it’s not him, so he has effectively abdicated any leadership role and left it up to Mr. Weiner to decide his own fate.

So in Obama we have a president who has outsourced healthcare policy to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. He has outsourced financial policy to Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. He has outsourced foreign policy to the UN and the Arab League. He has outsourced the deficit to Joe Biden. He has outsourced military intelligence to the Muslim countries. He has outsourced his economic policy to the Unions and the EPA. He has outsourced our jobs to the Chinese. He has outsourced our energy policy to OPEC. He has even tried to outsource his dismal record to his predecessor.

And now he has outsourced his moral standards to Rep. Anthony Weiner. This leaves plenty of time for golf, vacations, parties, and fund raising of course.

Obama is Right!

President Obama commented on the weak economy this week and said;  "We didn't get into this mess overnight."  He ought to know, he's been working on this for almost 20 years.

Obama's work began in earnest as a Community Organizer and affiliate of ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) when he was fighting alongside them and eventually helped win the Clinton era basket of reforms which led directly to the Subprime Crash and Financial Meltdown of 2008.  ACORN and their affiliates were in the forefront of the fight to force banks to make bad loans to politically favored constituents who were otherwise unqualified to obtain mortgages.  Obama was there in the 90s agitating with ACORN against these bank lending standards and then for the taxpayers to essentially assume all the risks under a huge fraud called "Fannie Mae".

But his work was not done, not by a longshot.   How many realize that as a US Senator, Barack Obama sucked up tainted Fannie Mae money at a staggering rate which dwarfed any other politician?  How many voters realize that Obama was referred to as the "Senator from Fannie Mae"?  How many realize that the fraud known as Fannie Mae was virtually a monsterous slush fund for the Democrat Party?

Yes, Obama is right, it took years to create this mess.  He ought to know, he's been there since the beginning working hard at it. 

Weinergate In A Nutshell

Wall Street Should Read This!

"Wall Street Baffled by Slowing Economy" ?   Maybe they should read this: The Irony of Keynes!
*This headline should have read, "Sycophantic Media Blindsided by Bad Economic Policies Blames Wall Street Myopia"! 

Proof that God Exists, and Loves Glenn Beck!

Up until now I’ve been devoutly agnostic and somewhat skeptical of Glenn Beck’s public displays of faith, but that just changed! God clearly exists and loves Glenn Beck, for he has given us WEINERGATE!

For those not familiar with the Beck/Weiner Connection, Rep. Weiner (D-NY) aggressively harrassed a major Beck sponsor, GoldLine, in a very public, disingenuous over-reach for an elected official which was likely coordinated along with a boycott of Beck sponsors being run by close Obama operatives in the White House. This couldn’t be more delicious!

The Ryan Mistake

Paul Ryan’s mistake was in trying to have an adult conversation with children. It reminds me of what it would be like for Israel to negotiate with Hamas – ain’t gonna happen when one party seeks the annihilation of the other. The Alinsky Democrats don’t give a hoot about making good policy. They have one goal in mind and that is the destruction of their enemy, who is anyone to the right of them.

So what to do?  In Ryan’s case, there actually are adults in the room and they are the people.  The challenge is communicating directly with the adults in the face of overwhelming negativity from AcadeMediaWood.  These adults might just understand that a voucher to buy some insurance is preferable to an empty promise from a bankrupt country.  (edited 6/22)

Finally, a Leader in Washington

For the first time in almost two and a half years, I am proud of a national leader in Washington.   Today, he went before congress and spoke with clarity about liberty, peace, security, and founding principles.   He was forceful, graceful, and articulate.  His reason was sound and his positions well thought out.  Too bad President Obama was out of town and missed Netanyahu's excellent speech.   

The Myth of Partisan Markets

Now that an election cycle is revving up you will no doubt be fed this nonsense by AcadeMediaWood - The Myth of Partisan Markets.  Bon appetit!

Unrelated update:  With NASA and the space shuttle in the news today, along with Obama's renewed outreach to the muslim world, I could not resist re-posting this Modest Proposal.   

Thank you "W"!

Today's good news is brought to you by the letter "W".   Waterboarding, Wiretapping, and War-on-Terror.   
The tip came from KSM who was famously Waterboarded, the courier he named was then Wiretapped, and the Seals brought the War to the Terrorist and killed him.  Thank you "W"! 

Comatose (w/ bin Laden update)

Hey, it's great that we finally got bin Laden!  I guess continuing Bush's War on Terror was not so bad after all!
