In Decorah Iowa last week President
Obama told a woman:
Democracy is always a messy business in a big
country like this,” Obama responded. “When you listen to what the federalists
said about the anti-federalists … those guys were tough. Lincoln, they
used to talk about him almost as bad as they talk about me.”
If you stand the heat, get the hell out of the
kitchen.
The stock market was
reacting poorly to Standard and Poors downgrade of the Country’s credit rating. They didn’t seem at all reassured when he
told them and the nation it was a political move by S&P. The pundunt’s had even acted like him ordering
the Department
of Justice investigate Standard and Poors might be an act of Political
revenge on his part.
His bus trip didn’t
go as planned. Even though the White
House had carefully explained the trip was a fact finding tour, the TEA Party
people were complaining about it costing millions of dollars a day of taxpayer
money for him to campaign. Some of the
questions were unexpected. This isn’t a
good thing for someone used to using a teleprompter.
Rural Americans are
growing concerned about they see as an attempt by executive order to implement the United
Nation’s Agenda 21. He thought
he’d easily explained away one question by a farmer who was concerned about
government interference.
He was promptly made a liar by a Politico Reporter, M.J. Lee, and his own Department of Agriculture when the reporter took his advice, and called the USDA and asked the question, after having been given the run around for several days Lee concludes the report this way:.
Finally, I call the USDA’s main media relations department, based here in Washington, where I explain to a spokesperson about my failed attempts to obtain an answer to the Illinois farmer’s question.
This was their response, via email:
“Secretary Vilsack continues to work closely with members of the Cabinet to help them engage with the agricultural community to ensure that we are separating fact from fiction on regulations because the administration is committed to providing greater certainty for farmers and ranchers. Because the question that was posed did not fall within USDA jurisdiction, it does not provide a fair representation of USDA’s robust efforts to get the right information to our producers throughout the country.”
When I quoted Lee I
skipped over the details of the run around the reporter got, but they, and the
comments at the end of the story make “Obama’s
unhelpful advise” worth spending
a few minutes reading.. Even on a major publication like Politico, any time an
article gets 500 comments. It’s worth the read.
If you’ve ever had a
little kid in the candy aisle of a store, you’ll you can understand Barack
Obama. The child will ask if they can
have something, when you tell them no, they’ll grab something else and ask
again, this time the No is a little stronger.
The Third time you tell them NO with a stronger explanation then before,
they might seem to accept it or they might throw a temper tantrum. Either way,
if you don’t discover it first, when you go to check out, you’ll find something
in the basket you weren’t expecting
The Homeland
Security announcement last week that would allow most of
300,000 illegal alien infiltrators already facing deportation to remain
here didn’t go over to well. Many if not
most Americans see it as another example of the Obama Administration’s contempt
for the Constitution, Congress and the will of the American People. The Administrations logic is exactly the same
as the kids logic. Congress refused to
pass my immigration agenda, so I’ll try sneaking it into the shopping cart..
and if they don’t see it, or if they don’t get to mad, I’ll get my way..
Americans are also
beginning to figure out Arne Duncan at the Department of Education is trying to
sneak Obama’s Education Agenda into the cart as well. Except
for the people who make money of it, no sane person believes No Child
Left Behind is working. Congress has
declined so far to either reaffirm NCLB or replace it with Obama’s scheme to
centralize control of education at the Federal level. Since Congress hasn’t specifically said no..
(and if they did Obama wouldn’t sign it anyway) Duncan is trying to sneak
Obama’s version of Education Reform into the basket. Existing law allows the Sec of Ed to grant
Special Case Waiver’s from the law’s requirements.
Since the law was unrealistic to begin with, most states can’t meet the law’s requirements. Duncan’s solution: Legislation by extortion. Sign on to Obama’s agenda, of face the consequences under existing law. Very much like the child telling the parent, let me have it or I’ll cause a scene and you’ll be in trouble.

Then there were more
revelations about Operation
Fast and Furious, I believe the only reason Eric Holder hasn’t already
been removed from office is several key members of the Senate, starting with
the majority leader, put political party over the well being of the
country. I don’t know if in the end,
that will be enough to prevent his removal after the American People finally
get all the details, last week’s events bordered on sickening.
The Justice
Department decided that the families of Border Agent, Brian
Terry were not the victims of a crime. Terry was killed by a weapon the
US Government illegally sold to a gun runner, knowing that it would end up in
the hands of the Mexican Drug Cartels.
We found out
that three of the men who supervised the operation had been promoted. A couple days later the Justice Department tried to take back the story. TI guess were surprised at the way Americans
reacted. That’s not surprising considering how disconnected this Administration
from the way normal Americans think..
Shades of Big
Brother; Stalin, Hitler and Mao all in one.
There’s another serious story coming to light. If the story is accurate the Obama
Administration illegally spent millions of taxpayer dollars diverting people
trying to research Obamacare on the Internet to government propaganda sites. It seems Obama wants Americans to “think”
they’re making informed decisions, after they’ve intentionally been spoon fed
misinformation. That's Obama’s vision for America,
I’m sure I missed a
few, it was a long week. The last one I’ll
mention involves the President and the Muslim Brotherhood. Most American’s, like myself up until a little
while ago, are not aware the Muslim Brotherhood is not on the US Terror List. Don’t
ask me why, I don’t know. After all this administration considers Christians and
veterans potential lone wolf terrorists.
Last week we found out Obama is appointing members of the Brotherhood to key positions in his Administration believe it or not this was reported months ago but generally over looked by the Media. Maggie has one of the best reports on the affair I’ve seen anywhere on the Internet during the past week post on her website Maggie’s Note Book. The report includes a video of a speech made by Tarek Fatah, a self described Liberal Marxist who actively supported Obama during his 2008 campaign for President, his opinion of Barack Obama has changed considerably:

Instead of bringing victory over the fascist forces of the Muslim Brotherhood, we now recognize that their infiltration is right up to the American White House, but we can’t say that.”
“Today we are fighting another idea of Islamo-fascism that has shut our mouths and we can’t speak because we’re too scared that someone may turn around and call us a racist. And mind you, everyday as I speak, a few dozen Muslims would have been killed by now by these Jihadi’s.
Why the President
would appoint people who are part of an organization that hates America, and
the American way of life is beyond me, and I think it’s beyond most people. While we try and figure it out, the President,
who is undoubtedly exhausted from three grueling days of having to talk to
ordinary Americans, is recovering at Martha’s Vineyard. (at taxpayer expense).
So at least for the
moment he’s out of the kitchen. I read a
blog yesterday that suggested as he reflects over the events of the past week
he may decide that being President is more trouble than it’s worth and resign.
We should be so
lucky..
