MO's Mojo Delights Indian Children: Obama's Bomb-Proof Tunnel Astounds India

Michelle Obama's magical mojo delights some "disadvantaged" children in India shortly after Air Force One landed in Mumbai. She danced and played a game of "vocabulary-building hopscotch, telling the kids she loves to dance. The president did his own amazing, with the construction of an above-ground, bomb-proof tunnel to take him to a museum.

Michelle Obama's Mojo!

Michelle's mojo extended to decorator pillows being sold in bazaars with her very slender image perched on a swing, with the words "First Lady Fabulous," and "We Love Her." Just like the cover of Oprah's O mag, Oprah looks nothing like herself, Michelle looks nothing like the beautiful, swinging lady in pearls.

POTUS' mojo includes the first ever over-ground, 12' X 12' bomb-proof tunnel, with closed circuit cameras and air conditioning, to allow the President and his "cavalcade" to travel safely to "Mani Bhavan - the Gandhi museum - on Saturday." Once the entourage passes through, the U.S. military will dismantle (or perhaps after the "cavalcade" returns) the tunnel in about one hour's time. The tunnel is the answer to a skyscraper which loomed nearby with a clear view of Obama route to the museum.

Coconut trees were robbed of their coconuts. The reason for doing so was not given. Must assume that falling coconuts are lethal.

The cost of this grand tour is reported to cost taxpayers $200 million a day. The White House says that figure is "wildly overflated," but there has been no attempt to correct the reports, or disclose the actual cost.

Breaking: Voters On Obama's ....

You want to know this, you need to know this: Breaking at Social Sense.

Chris Matthews: Obama Guilty of Elitist Charge - Failed to Explain Economics

Chris Matthews takes a tough stance on Obama's failures, and it's a little jaw-dropping until he remembers how he earns his salary...oh yeah! I'm a Democrat shill...and remembers the current  administration talking points that voter's are unhappy because the president has not explained the complexities of his economic policy, and oh yes, Obama is an elitist, yes he is. See the video below.

Explaining Obama Economics

Matthews is confounded that Obama has not explained his progressive brand of economic, and says every Grad school student learns that a large deficit in a recession is necessary. Obama does not have a degree in economics, and perhaps he failed the undergraduate work. We wouldn't know. All his records are sealed. He has no life experience with economics. His economic policies, and the policies of his economic team, have flown in the face of sound fiscal policy. So what is there for Obama to "explain" without being laughed off the world stage.

Matthews is also disgruntled that Obama was so very patriotic during the 2008 elections, and he believed in America's exceptionalism...so very much, but then...there were the teleprompters, and Obama talked at us, not with us, and he didn't listen.

Precious few of the claims of Obama's campaign patriotism or the belief that America is exceptional were anywhere in the 2008 election. He was caught on camera not saluting the flag. Appalling. He wanted to redistribute our wealth. His father and his mentor were both communists. Showing just how out of touch with the framework of America, he thought America had 57 states, and he had visited them all. Oh, you say...he just misspoke? Surely he knew how many states in America? Apparently not. That's as absurd as saying he didn't know he should be saluting the flag.

 In a speech at the home of Harry Truman in the summer of 2008, he gave a speech to prove his patriotism, because so many believed there was so little. In that speech, I was not comforted that he spoke of his "growing awareness of our nation's imperfections" as a younger adult. Those of us who were honest knew Obama's fondness for Islam would tip the scales to less protection for Israel. Why does that matter? It matters because Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. If we cannot stand for true democracy around the world, how do we defend our own republic?

Maybe Matthews' is looking for a way to save his journalistic life as this train wreck descends from the heady heights Liberals think he ascended.

Chris Matthews - Obama is Guilty of Elitist Charge

Partial transcript:

MATTHEWS: When he was a campaigner, he did nothing but talk about what a great country this is, what an exceptional country this is because a guy like me an make it here and only in a country like this could I have made it. He was very patriotic, very inclusive and he was very interactive in an interesting way. Ever since he has been president he has been elitist and he has come with his teleprompter, and he has given his speech. He hasn't listened, he has talked at us, rather than with us...

MITCHELL: At least that's what he has projected.

MATTHEWS: No, he actually does bring the teleprompter with him and he actually does know what he wants to say.

MITCHELL: No I don't mean that. I mean...you don't think that he's interactive even thought he's had these townhall meetings, you don't think he's given the sense...of...

MATTHEWS: No and I think he hasn't explained himself. Lincoln had to explain the Civil War, darn it.  Roosevelt had to explain everything about the Great Depression. You have to take people along with you. I think he is guilty of that elitest charge. If you are going to spend a $1.6 Trillion deficit in one year you better explain to the American people why you did it. He never explained economics the way he was taught it. We were all taught in graduate school you had to run a big deficit during a grand recession. How about explaining that. Everybody didn't go to graduate school.

Obama Urges Latinos to "Punish Our Enemies:" John Boehner Counters 'Our Enemies' The Patriots

Obama tries to rally Latino voters, telling them if they do not vote to "punish our enemies...
"it's going to be harder," (assumed to mean keeping Democrats in office). I don't know if this is the first time a president has referred to American voters with a differing political philosophy,  as 'our enemy,' but we must understand, Barack Obama, has no respect for our constitutional right to vote him and his marxist bunch out of office. His Department of Justice has no respect for the sanctity of our right to vote - at all, and in fact has refused to protect us at the polls. See the video below.

John Boehner

OBAMA: “If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We’re gonna punish our enemies, and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us’ — if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election — then I think it’s going to be harder. And that’s why I think it’s so important that people focus on voting on November 2nd.” Source.

Congressman John Boehner plans to address "our enemies" tonight at a rally. His remarks will reportedly include this:

When Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush used the word ‘enemy,’ they reserved it for global terrorists and foreign dictators — enemies of the United States. Enemies of freedom. Enemies of our country...

Today, sadly, we have president who uses the word ‘enemy’ for fellow Americans — fellow citizens. He uses it for people who disagree with his agenda of bigger government — people speaking out for a smaller, more accountable government that respects freedom and allows small businesses to create jobs. Mr. President, there's a word for people who have the audacity to speak up in defense of freedom, the Constitution, and the values of limited government that made our country great. We don't call them ‘enemies.’ We call them ‘patriots.’” 

This rhetoric is not new. Obama infamously said, if they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun." That quote is from a speech in Philadelphia June 2008. Obama brought more than a gun to the fight for U.S. presidency, he brought the corrupt ACORN and their rampant voter fraud. This election of 2010, ACORN and SEIU have already brought the big guns to the fight.

The goal of Tuesday's election day is to disarm Barack Obama, do it without a gun...do it with the will of the people.

Yes We Can. Germany Did. German Unemployment at 18 Year Low

Remember German Chancellor Angela Merkel getting in Obama's face at the G20 and refusing to try to "spend their way out of the economic crises?" Whatever she is doing, it's working. Unemployment in Germany has not been lower since 1992. Consumer confidence is high. Make no mistake, this is humiliating for Barack Obama. Take a look at the headlines below and think about what Europe thinks about this "elegant, articulate and clean" President, now that Merkel is proven right. Our President casts a long, dark shadow over the White House.

At the time of G20, Merkel's position was called "Merkel's austerity."  At the same time, the head of the European Central Bank said: "...the idea that austerity measures could trigger stagnation is incorrect," and Germany's Finance Minister Wolfgang Schauble said: "Governments should not become addicted to borrowing as a quick fix to stimulate demand...." So, yes we can bring back jobs and confidence. Germany did.

Headlines earlier this year reveal Obama's folly:

Pres. Obama Rejected at G-20 

U.S. isolated on spending at G-20 

G-20 Leaders ignore Obama's advice, pledge to cut deficits 

Europe spurns Obama's Plea for More Spending

From CNBC:

German unemployment fell slightly in October, dropping to its lowest level in 18 years as the impact of persistently strong growth in Europe's top economy continued to filter through to the jobs market.

The number of jobless fell by 3,000 to a seasonally adjusted 3.153 million, figures from the Labor Office showed on Thursday, while the headline level dipped to 2.945 million, confirming figures announced a day earlier.

The headline reading fell below the 3 million mark — a key political threshold — for the first time since November 2008, to its lowest point since October 1992.

Data on Europe's biggest economy over the past week has been bullish, signalling its unexpectedly strong recovery could hold up in the face of signs of fragility in the global economy.

Yes, we can do it also. Germany did. November 2nd is the day we begin bringing jobs and confidence back to the U.S.

Keith Ablow: Americans in Denial About Obama

Dr. Keith Ablow says Americans are in Denial about Barack Obama. "The mind and the soul are fitted with shock absorbers triggered only by the biggest bumps in the road." Well America, if we haven't had a bump in the road the size of the Grand Canyon, we've at least plunged into a sink hole the size of Guatemala's world record holder.

Guatamala Bump in the Road

Cutting to the chase, it IS about race. Many cannot bear to believe that a Black man could so severely destruct the American dream. Well, Obama the Black Man has done that, and his agenda-engine is still speeding down the track. American Democrats must begin to recognize the numerous brilliant Blacks who just happen to be conservative...not necessarily Republican, but conservative with a great love for this Nation and a profound knowledge of what made America great: economists Dr. Thomas Sowell, Dr. Walter Williams, and Herman Cain a successful business man with vast experience in creating profitable businesses nationwide, to mention a few Liberals could not keep out of the public eye.

 

Ablow, a psychiatrist, best-selling author and contributor at Fox News notes what you and I have known before The Time of Obama began:

...the Obamas are profoundly ambivalent about whether America and Americans have historically been a force for good or ill in the world. This is why the president has repeatedly apologized for America’s behavior, in a way that not only signals other nations that our leader is at best uncertain about our moral character, but may plant self-doubt about our decency in own population.

It is why the president would remain in a church where the pastor has been quoted as saying, “God damn, America!” and would bring his children to that church to listen and learn.

Whether Black, White, Hispanic or Asian, Americans want a president who values Liberty above his own life, and will do whatever is necessary to guard and defend our Constitution, rather than believing it to be a document with "deep flaws".  It is not about the color of skin. It IS about the vision for an even greater American through limited government practicing fiscal accountability and fostering an environment for personable responsibility. Community organizers are in direct opposition of those ideals.

Ablow is right. Many who voted for Obama - those who still want a share of his stash, voted for him because they believed he would right the wrongs of racism. Instead, he has made it painfully obvious that the Blacks still following him are the racists. In the name of Social Justice, Obama has brought an extreme racist to the Department of Justice, allowing the Nation to descend to a lawlessness never thought possible in this country - and his followers have cheered that their man is "putting it to the Whites."

Flash forward to today, those Obama voters thinking their White-guilt would slide would slide from their shoulders if they only cast a vote for him, find being Black, and considered eloquent, articulate and "clean," - a Harvard graduate,  who is laughingly considered an expert on the U.S. Constitution, realize that his background and belief in Socialism, Marxism and Communism really does matter. Ablow ends with:

If we were deprived of denial, if we were willing to really listen and really be shocked, if we were willing to be wrong and wronged, we would have to admit that we elected a man to lead our country who just doesn't express much lover for it - or us.

Still so much to be said...

Obama Taints FEC: Violated Election Laws Ride...for SEIU Unions

The long shadow of the Obama administration taints much that is near sacred in the U.S., including election laws. The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has ruled in favor of SEIU's (Service Employees International Union) demand that local unions MUST send $25,000 to the SEIU Political PAC, or be fined $37,500. This is a clear violation of FEC law. The video below tells the story.

Obama Taints the White House

Had enough? I certainly have. We have a creeping lawlessness in America and it isn't roaming the streets of the Nation, it's lurking in the hallways of the White House, the Justice Department, Congress and all the president's cabinet offices.

From Warner Todd Huston of Publius Forum:

As it happens, the Federal Election Commission expressly forbids organizations from fining members for not contributing to political action committees (PACs). Because of this proscription, the folks at NRTW [National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation] filed a complaint with the FEC about the SEIU’s practice.

Fox News states the FEC's own general counsel found that SEIU violated election law - YET, the FEC quietly voted to overrule their own attorney, and allow the mammoth organization to march toward a $9 million war chest (...and if you have a loved one in a nursing home, an SEIU worker is likely caring for them). Pay attention to the following. I believe this statement was not made lightly:

"To us it was a prima facie case for coercion," Mix said [NRTW]. "Plus, it looked like a money laundering scheme as well, because locals would pay the penalties from their general funds into the political action committee. General union treasury funds are not allowed to be used for political purposes," he said.

Karen at The Lonely Conservative is as angry as I.

Steve King Immigration Video: King's I.D.E.A. Act Introduced

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) in this video says he has been in the business of trying embarrass the Bush and Obama administrations into enforcing immigration for a long time. Think Republicans have no ideas? Listen to King as he explains the I.D.E.A Act (Illegal Deduction Employee Act). I.D.E.A will deny a tax deduction to employers for wages paid to illegals. This is the change we've been waiting for. Rumors are that Obama is stroking his veto pen after the close of business, far into the night. See a related video linked below.

Obama: We Trail China's Infrastructure..again

This week Obama told us that he has asked Congress for an "initial" $50 billion to begin a six-year-plan to restore and and upgrade our infrastructure. Necessary, he said to keep pace with China, who is far wiser than the U.S. - wise enough to "invest today for tomorrow." He said it once in August, and again on October 11th. Don't you love being compared to a Communist country?

We Trail China's Infrastructure?

Obama quoted in the Hawaii Reporter via Voice of America:

“Right now China is building hundreds of thousands of miles of new roads. Over the next 10 years it plans to build dozens of new airports. Over the next 20 it could build as many as 170 new mass transit systems. Everywhere else they are thinking big, they are creating jobs today, but they are also planning to win tomorrow,” said President Obama.

Never mind, Mr. President, that of China's 751,000+ miles of highway, only 168,586 are paved, including highways. By contrast, the U.S. has 2,615,870 miles of paved roads, including highways, and another 1,401,791 miles of unpaved roads. If we are going to worry about China, comparing roads...humiliating for you and China. Don't compare our water systems either. Embarrassingly for you, Beijing and most of China has comparatively none.

Adding to the folly of Obama's feint to China, the country has a population of 1,338,612,968 with a land area size of 5,963,275 square miles. The U.S. population is 307,212,123 with a land area of 5,692,982 square miles. Far fewer people with almost identical land mass. Source: CIA World Fact Book

I'm not ignoring the fact that China has come far, and traveled fast. Most of their roadways were started in the 1990's. Their trains are many and efficient, because even if their roadways had been superb, few have owned automobiles until recent years, but there is no doubt ownership is skyrocketing. 

Fifteen years ago, the roads were empty, save for the constant stream of bicycles.

Today they are jammed from morning to night with close to three million private cars.

A thousand new cars hit the city's streets every day. By 2020 China will have 140 million private cars, more even than the United States.

If those stats are accurate, by 2020 China will have more cars, as well as many, many more people - maybe a billion more than the U.S. The video below says China has built more roads in the last five years than in the last fifty. Ka-ching, Ka-ching. If China is paving and laying, our corporate tax rates have helped to build a dynamic new kind of communist government with socialist/capitalist policies, and a work ethic that doesn't expect four weeks vacation. Read about Chinese worker's vacations and transportation here.

Long before you, Mr. President, were a glint in the eye of your Communist daddy, Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower was commissioning our Interstate Highway system. I suggest you not hold us up to the standards of China or any Communist country. It just doesn't look good. Can you name one Communist country with a superior highway system? Maybe Cuba, North Korea, Laos, Vietnam? No? I didn't think so. Where there are few autos, few roads are needed.

Ron Butlers Obama Still Smokin' Video A Modern U.S. President

Love this! Oh yeah! He nailed it.

Obama Still Smokin' with Ron Butler (video)

Rashid Khalidi Columbia University adds Palestine Studies Center

Rashid Khalidi is the co-director of the new Columbia University Palestine Studies Center where he is the Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies. Columbia has had a Middle East Institute for over 50 years, but the new "center" for Palestine Studies is considered "the first of its kind."

Rashid Khalidi

You'll remember Khalidi:

1) recently raising funds for a Free Palestine/Support Hamas terror flotilla, named The Audacity of Hope, (named after Obama's book) in waters where Israel has the right to blockade any movement of weapons into Gaza,

2) has a friendship with White House gatecrasher Tareq Salahi (see the pic of Obama with with Salahi's long before the gatecrashing, and most infamously,

3) celebrated Palestine and the audacity of Israel at a farewell party with Barack Obama and Bill Ayers for Khalidi. There were unconfirmed talks of a "toast" to something considered inappropriate regarding Israel with Obama present. Speculation was that the toast was perhaps to the "toasting"(as in "destruction") of Israel. The Los Angeles Times has the video, and refuses to release it.

 Khalidi is a former advisor to, and spokesman for, Yassar Arafat and a former professor at the University of Chicago. Khalidi's wife Mona was the English language editor for the PLO press agency.

In 1985, Mr. Khalidi published an adulatory book on the PLO in which he personally thanked Yasser Arafat: "Permission to utilize the P.L.O. archives ... was generously given by the Chairman of the P.L.O. Executive Committee, Yasir Arafat. To him and to the dedicated individuals working in the office of the Chairman, the P.L.O. archive and the Palestine News Agency (WAFA), who extended every possible assistance to me on three trips to Tunis, I owe deep thanks."

Today, however, Mr. Khalidi distances himself from his past.

In truth, Mr. Khalidi is still spinning for the Palestinian leadership. For example, although the Palestinian Authority (PA) is ruled at the whim of a despotic Yasser Arafat, Mr. Khalidi argues the PA has an "elected leader." He asserts that Israel's government "refused to negotiate" with the PA when, in reality, Israel has formally negotiated with the PA since 1993.

Moreover, Mr. Khalidi would like us to believe that Israel has "violated every one of the seven agreements it signed with the PLO since that time." This is, of course, a transparent inversion of the truth. Source: Campus Watch

 As Khalidi departed UC to takeover Columbia's Middle East studies, Obama's attendance at a 2003 farewell party, along with Bill Ayers and wife, Bernardine Dorn, and a crowd of mostly Palestinian-Americans is well-documented. According to Los Angeles Times writer Peter Wallsten claimed that the LA Times had a copy of the video. From the National Review:

At Khalidi’s 2003 farewell party, for example, a young Palestinian American recited a poem accusing the Israeli government of terrorism in its treatment of Palestinians and sharply criticizing U.S. support of Israel. If Palestinians cannot secure their own land, she said, “then you will never see a day of peace.”

One speaker likened “Zionist settlers on the West Bank” to Osama bin Laden, saying both had been “blinded by ideology.”

The same article says that state Senator Obama took a more measured response, suggesting that we just all get along.

As Columbia University begins the new study center, there is little said about the connection to Barack Obama or Bill Ayers or Obama's emotional commitment to the Islamic Palestine. Nevertheless, the L.A. Times article referenced above speaking of the farewell party for Khalidi, makes this argument:

But his presence at such events, as he worked to build a political base in Chicago, has led some Palestinian leaders to believe that he might deal differently with the Middle East than either of his opponents for the White House.

"I am confident that Barack Obama is more sympathetic to the position of ending the occupation than either of the other candidates," said Hussein Ibish, a senior fellow for the American Task Force on Palestine, referring to the Israeli presence in the West Bank and Gaza Strip that began after the 1967 war. More than his rivals for the White House, Ibish said, Obama sees a "moral imperative" in resolving the conflict and is most likely to apply pressure to both sides to make concessions.

Rashid Khalidi often speaks of the revisionist history that lends support to Israel. Speaking of revisionist history - we haven't seen anything yet, as our college students traverse through the one-way street of Khalidi's Palestinian studies.

Obama Health Care Mandate Upheld in Federal Court

A Michigan federal judge has ruled that Congress can make us buy his health insurance. Because we "pay" for the insurance, the judge says that action is "plainly economic."

Obama's Department of Justice argued that if the Commerce Clause does not allow the mandate, then the mandate is simply a tax, levied through the legal powers of Congress. Attorney Rob Muise of the Thomas More Center said the decision will be appealed.

“The trouble, if you think about it, is if Congress has authority to regulate nonactivity then it has the ability to regulate anything,” Muise said. Congress can “tell you to exercise three times a week, to take certain vitamins, to refrain from eating certain foods because, at some point, costs are going to be incurred to the health care market. I find that very troubling when we have a federal government that’s supposed to be of limited, enumerated powers,” he said. 

This is just one lawsuit, in just one state. It is far from over, but it deserves worrying about every step on the way to repeal.

July Food Stamp Recipients at All-Time High: Fiscal Year Food Stamps Soar

July 2010 food stamp recipients climbed to 41.8 million. October 2010 marks the beginning of a new fiscal year in the U.S. Beginning this month, "more than an eighth of the U.S. population will get food stamps" each and every month in the coming year - that's an average of 43.3 million people on food stamps every month - an 18% jump from the previous year beginning October 2009.

Obama's Aunt Zeituni Qualifies as Asylee? Why? Zeituni: US Obligated to Grant Citizenship and Aid (Video)

Barack Obama's Aunt Zetuni has lived in the Boston area illegally for years. She recently received "asylum" and is still in Boston living in public housing, receiving $700 monthly, courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer. Aunti has told a Boston TV station, the U.S. has an "obligation" to grant her citizenship. I'm asking how, EXACTLY, this woman qualifies for asylum and status as an "asylee." See the video below, where Zeituni Onyango complains that she has been treated badly here.

Zeituni Onyango

So we must ask why Zeituni Onyango was granted "asylum" in this country. Was she persecuted in her home country of Kenya? Did she consider herself a refugee when she arrived in this country (but according to her planned to return to her home)? Was her life in danger? The answer appears to be "no" each.

According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, you must meet the definition of "refugee" to be given "asylee" status:

Refugee status or asylum may be granted to people who have been persecuted or fear they will be persecuted on account of race, religion, nationality, , and/or membership in a particular social group or political opinion.

I don't think the "social group" or "political opinion" stretches to voting Democrat or having a nephew controlling the Oval Office. How did this happen?

I found the answer and Aunti is here courtesy of another activist judge:

A judge who granted asylum to President Barack Obama's African aunt ruled she deserved to stay in the United States because a federal government official leaked her status to a news organization, making her a potential target for persecution in her native Kenya.

Can we seriously think Barack Obama's auntie would be targeted for "persecution" in Kenya? Eric Holder must have been behind this one.

In the video below from WBZ-TV, the interviewer mentions that Onyango's very "wealthy" relatives, living in the White House, have done nothing to relive the taxpayer's burden of her presence in America.

Mitch McConnell to Obama - No Compromise on Tax Hikes

This is interesting. President Alinsky Obama officially made House Minority Leader John Boehner his target in this campaign season. He wants the voters to fear the man with the tan. John Boehner then came out and said he'd be willing to go along with a bill raising taxes on the rich, while leaving tax cuts for the middle class in place, if that what his only option.



Senator Mitch McConnell, the Senate Minority Leader, has thrown a monkey wrench into matters. McConnell is hardly an ultra conservative, but in this case, he's indicating there will be no compromise.

Reuters: In a political gambit, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell proposed a freeze on all tax brackets, insisting that cuts for wealthier Americans, as well as for the middle class,must be kept in place.

"I'm introducing legislation today that ensures that no one in this country will pay higher income taxes next year than they are right now," McConnell said on the Senate floor.

With control of the Senate, Democrats should be able to dictate whether there is a vote on the tax question ahead of the election but it is far from clear if they have enough party unity on the issue. McConnell may be hoping for enough defectors to bring his measure to the floor.

If Congress fails to take any action on the tax cuts enacted for all Americans under George W. Bush, Obama's

Republican predecessor, then they will expire at the end of this year.

Positions are so deeply entrenched and the risks so high for both sides that lawmakers may opt to put the issue on hold until after the election.

What's Obama to do now? He's chosen his target, honed in on it, and now this? Will he have two targets? Won't that be less effective? I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the White House right now.

This is a risky move on the part of McConnell, and he's never struck me as one to take big risks. I think it's worth it, though. There are at least a few Democrats who are well aware that raising taxes on anybody during a recession will hurt an already fragile economy.

Let's just hope this gamble pays off for Senator McConnell, the economy and the American people.

Hey, whoever said politics was boring?

Thin-Skinned, Bratish President Treated Like a Dog

Obama speaking in Milwaukee today explained how he will stimulate the economy, yet again, for a bargain basement price of $50,000,000,000 taxpayers dollars.  But this juvenile thumb-sucking president denigrated and insulted dogs everywhere by whining that Republicans "talk about me like a dog." No examples were offered. New video added.

Treated Like a Dog - Get it at Zazzle

Democrats must know if they vote for this thing, their career as a public extortioner is over.

But then Ed Morrissey at Hot Air differs:

Don’t be too sure it won’t pass Congress before November.  Transportation bills like this give Capitol Hill denizens plenty of opportunity to get pork for their home districts and states.  In this election cycle, pork may be all Democrats can use as an argument for re-election.  They certainly larded the first stimulus bill with plenty of home-town pork, and with $50 billion more in borrowed cash, don’t expect them to be shy the second time around.

However, don’t expect it to work, either.  The original Porkulus had $105 billion in so-called “infrastructure investments,” and none of it produced any economic growth.  Transportation accounted for $48 billion; energy infrastructure and R&D got the same amount of money.  Housing got $10 billion.  Front loaded or not, the money got allocated and borrowed, and we’re back to flatlining economic growth just eighteen months later — only now we have a lot more debt on top of the other problems we had. 

From the Green Room, Doctor Zero:

President Obama “unveiled” his new “stimulus” plan in Wisconsin today.  It was a lot like watching an alcoholic unveil his new plan to get sober by switching to lite beer

But Daily Kos writer Joan McCarter, believes this is excellent news - "a solid, job-creating policy," she says, and even provides a White House "fact sheet" for us.  Republicans will have a tough time talking this one down according to McCarter.

I'm keeping my money on this expenditure failing, and I call on Obama to apologize to dogs everywhere. By the way, Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold (D) was a no-show for the Obama speech. He wanted none of it. Remember when O referred to himself as 'Mutt?'  Source
