10 Political and Economic Imponderables that Should Drive You Crazy
Written by THE GODFATHER Godfaherpolitics Thursday, 17 May 2012 16:26
- Only in America could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $40,000-a-plate campaign fund raising event.
- Only in America could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans when we have a black President, a black Attorney General, and a federal workforce that is roughly 18% black when the black population is only 12%.
- Only in America could we have had the two people most responsible for our tax code — Timothy Geithner, the head of the Treasury Department and Charles Rangel who once ran the Ways and Means Committee — turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.
- Only in America can we have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.
- Only in America would we make people who want to legally become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege while we discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just become American citizens.
- . Only in America could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country’s Constitution be thought of as “extremists.”
- Only in America could you need to present a driver’s license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.
- Only in America could people demand the government investigate whether oil companies are gouging the public because the price of gas went up when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. oil company (Marathon Oil) is less than half of what a company that manufactures sports shoes and apparel (Nike) makes.
- Only in America could the government collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a trillion dollars more than it has per year for total spending ($7 million PER MINUTE), and complain that it doesn’t have nearly enough money.
- Only in America could the rich people who pay 86% of all income taxes be accused of not paying their “fair share” by people who don’t pay any income taxes at all.
Domestic Oil Reserves and the Liberal Media
Last Updated on Thursday, 17 May 2012 13:20 Written by DAVID MARTIN, Executive Vice President - Media Research Center Thursday, 17 May 2012 13:07
In what should be bombshell news, CNSNews.com is reporting that an expert with the federal government testified before Congress that:
The Green River Formation, a largely vacant area of mostly federal land that covers the territory where Colorado, Utah and Wyoming come together, contains about as much recoverable oil as all the rest the world’s proven reserves combined.
In a nation with sky-high gas prices, record long-term unemployment and widespread anxiety about the economy, this should be the biggest news story of the year. But the fossil-fuel-hating liberal media are SILENT.
As drilling technology improves, many new oil and gas discoveries have taken place. Most recently a discovery in North Dakota led to an oil boom that has left that state with a nation leading 3% unemployment rate. While fossil fuels continue to power America and drive prosperity, but the liberal media continue to cheerlead for pie-in-the-sky solar, algae and wind energy federal boondoggles.
The media have a responsibility to report the facts and keep Americans informed about major policy developments. But they don’t. Instead the media push the radical agenda of leftist environmentalists and socialist politicians.
They are desperate to prevent Americans from learning the truth about the Obama Administration’s war on oil and coal industry.
CNSNews.com’s bombshell report should be on the front pages of every major newspaper. Instead, the media are covering it up.
Obama Inserts Himself in White House Bios of Past Presidents
Last Updated on Wednesday, 16 May 2012 21:09 Written by BEN SHAPIRO Breitbart.com | ObamaInHistory.tumblr.com Wednesday, 16 May 2012 13:58
The White House website has always featured biographies of past presidents. The biographies are largely designed for students, so they can research the history of the White House occupants; the text is taken from The Presidents of the United States of America, by Michael Beschloss and Hugh Sidey.
Now, however, President Obama has decided that those other presidential biographies weren’t complete without a sentence about him. Seriously. As it turns out, all past presidents are just a window into President Obama’s grand accomplishments. Here are some examples:
- President Calvin Coolidge: “On Feb. 22, 1924 Calvin Coolidge became the first president to make a public radio address to the American people. President Coolidge later helped create the Federal Radio Commission, which has now evolved to become the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). President Obama became the first president to hold virtual gatherings and town halls using Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, etc.” The creation of the FCC wasn’t even one of Coolidge’s top ten accomplishments as president. But it allows Obama to brag about how he uses Facebook, so now it’s one of Coolidge’s most important achievements.

'My Two Dads Support Obama': Campaign Sells Baby Onesies After Same-Sex Marriage Reversal
Last Updated on Monday, 14 May 2012 21:50 Written by MADELEINE MORGENSTERM The Blaze Monday, 14 May 2012 21:36
What an absolute disgrace to the office of the presidency. Obama has turned the presidency into a joke, a circus, a mockery of what used to be a highly respected and honored position. ~beez
Two days after President Barack Obama declared his support for same-sex marriage, his re-election campaign seems to be hoping to capitalize on the announcement with an “LGBT for Obama” merchandise line on its website.
Among the items available for purchase are a “My Two Dads Support Obama” baby onesie ($20), a “My Two Moms Support Obama” version, and an “I’m Out for Obama” adult T-shirt ($30).
Barack Obama: I'm the Real Small-Government President, Not Reagan
Last Updated on Thursday, 10 May 2012 14:14 Written by PJ Media Thursday, 10 May 2012 13:58
President Obama tried to make the argument today that he’s the real small-government leader, not Reagan and other Republicans.
“After there was a recession under Ronald Reagan, government employment went way up,” Obama said at a college in Albany, N.Y. “It went up after the recessions under the first George Bush and the second George Bush. So each time there was a recession with a Republican president, compensated — we compensated by making sure that government didn’t see a drastic reduction in employment.”
“The only time government employment has gone down during a recession has been under me,” he continued. “So I make that point just so you don’t buy into this whole bloated government argument that you hear.”
The purpose of the speech was for Obama to announce his “to-do list” for Congress — “just like when Michelle gives me a list, I check it off.”
“I’m going to need you to pick up the phone, write an email, tweet, remind your member of Congress we can’t afford to wait until November to get things done,” Obama said.
Wasteful Spending Spin vs Fact
Last Updated on Wednesday, 09 May 2012 21:52 Written by AMERICANS FOR PROSPERITY Wednesday, 09 May 2012 20:46
Recently Obama for America Deputy Campaign Manager Stephanie Cutter posted a video to Attack Watch responding to the new Americans for Prosperity ad, “Wasteful Spending.” This video is a desperate campaign tactic trying to divert and deflect from the truth: President Obama wasted billions in taxpayer dollars on “green energy” boondoggles in foreign countries.
This attempted rebuttal is really just a series of half-truths and outright lies in which Ms. Cutter equivocates and obfuscates Obama’s record. This video was doomed to fail by relying heavily on Washington Post “fact checker” Glenn Kessler, who wrote a piece that criticizes the ad, calling it “over-the-top.” The problem is, the Post offers zero substantive refutation of the facts used in “Wasteful Spending,” and was fully exposed as a pro-Obama puff piece.
Spin: “AFP claims the administration gave Fisker millions to build cars in Finland. Um, no.”
Fact: Um, yes! Fisker was given American taxpayer dollars to subsidize production of a luxury sports car which is assembled in Finland and costs $102,000. While some of the parts are manufactured in the U.S., that’s hardly justification to pretend Americans aren’t subsidizing jobs in Finland. By the way, these cars have been catching on fire lately, leading to hundreds of recalls.
Spin:“Fisker is employing 700 workers in California.”
Fact: It didn’t take Neil Munro of the Daily Caller long to figure out that number was off by 40%.
