What else could it be ? TROOP INCREASE DIFFICULT A further increase could be politically difficult for Obama, with members of his Democratic Party increasingly uneasy about the war and congressional elections due next year. The White House sought on Monday to pin the blame for the grave state of the war in Afghanistan on the Bush administration, which made Iraq its top military priority.

Comedy gold: In 2004 Obama insists people read the bill before voting on it...

Image
Priceless.... not only does he implore his opponents to read the bill but he plays the hero for removing single-payer language from his own health care bill in the Illinois state senate when critics called it socialized medicine.  Of course he still found time to trash the critics and insurance companies, sorta like what he's doing now; ...but that initial concern that Senator Ryder said, that original cloud continued over it, because industry, and industry lobbyists, insurance lobbyists here in Springfield had been engaging in such fear-mongering among its agents, suggesting that this was a single-payer bill that in fact a lot of concerns were raised that had nothing to do with the bill that was before the body today. And what I was, what I would strongly suggest is people take the time to look at the three-page bill that is before them as opposed to some of the mischaracterizations (of) this legislation that have been raised by others.

Oh my: 57% would replace EVERYONE in Congress

I could go for that....More cowbell news: Approval at 46% The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 30% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -11 . Twenty-nine percent (29%) are confident that Congress knows what it’s doing when it comes to the economy. If Americans could vote to keep or replace the entire Congress, 57% would throw out all the legislators and start over again . Just 25% would vote to keep the Congress. ... Overall, 46% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. That’s the lowest level of total approval yet measured for Obama . Fifty-three percent (53%) now disapprove. Eighty-one percent (81%) of Democrats approve while 83% of Republicans disapprove. As for those not affiliated with either major party, 66% disapprove . The Dem and

From Rasmussen : 57% Would Like to Replace Entire Congress Sunday, August 30, 2009 If they could vote to keep or replace the entire Congress, just 25% of voters nationwide would keep the current batch of legislators. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 57% would vote to replace the entire Congress and start all over again. Eighteen percent (18%) are not sure how they would vote. Overall, these numbers are little changed since last October. When Congress was passing the unpopular $700-billion bailout plan in the heat of a presidential campaign and a seeming financial industry meltdown, 59% wanted to throw them all out. At that time, just 17% wanted to keep them.

I hope he talked to Al Gore first...

I'd like to know exactly how he would do this ? But the fact that he wants this control is troubling; Bill would give president emergency control of Internet by Declan McCullagh Internet companies and civil liberties groups were alarmed this spring when a U.S. Senate bill proposed handing the White House the power to disconnect private-sector computers from the Internet. They're not much happier about a revised version that aides to Sen. Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat, have spent months drafting behind closed doors. CNET News has obtained a copy of the 55-page draft of S.773 (excerpt), which still appears to permit the president to seize temporary control of private-sector networks during a so-called cybersecurity emergency. The new version would allow the president to "declare a cybersecurity emergency" relating to "non-governmental" computer networks and do what's necessary to respond to the threat. Other sections of the proposal include a f

More good news: Health Care bill violates Privacy Act

Image
From CBS News : Update August 27 11 a.m: Marc Rotenberg of the Electronic Privacy Information Center says in e-mail: "We would oppose section 431(a) of the bill because it violates the intent of the Privacy Act which generally requires agencies to obtain information directly from individuals and not from other agencies." EPIC still hasn't updated their Web site to reflect this sentiment, but it's good to know that other folks have concerns too. What could possibly go wrong?

Ratings for Kennedy tributes...

After all the coverage, not what you'd expect....or maybe it was; Led by a new hour of America’s Got Talent at 9pm,  NBC won the night with adults 18-49 and total viewers, edging out ABC. At 8pm, ABC’s Wipeout led the hour with a 2.5/8 rating/share with adults 18-49 and 7.56 million viewers.   Second was a recap hour of America’s Got Talent (1.8/6, 6.93M) followed by a Bones rerun (1.2/4, 4.5M) and a Ted Kennedy tribute, Ted Kennedy: The Last Brother on CBS (0.9/3, 4.6M).  CW ran an America’s Next Top Model repeat (0.5/2, 1.25M).

Good new: ABC and NBC refuse to air anti-ObamaCare ad

Still watching The One's back, ABC and NBC will not allow an ad from the League of American Voters which is critical of Obamacare or Kennedycare as its now being called.  Now why would the network that aired the healthcare infomercial and the Nationa Barack Channel refuse to run this ad?

Rep. Pete Stark says Blue Dog Dems are just "brain dead" .  Perhaps not the best choice of words; WASHINGTON (AP) - A key House liberal suggested Thursday that party moderates who've pushed for changes in health care legislation are "brain dead" and out for insurance company campaign donations. Moderate Blue Dog Democrats "just want to cause trouble," said Rep. Pete Stark, D-Calif., who heads the health subcommittee on the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee. "They're for the most part, I hate to say, brain dead, but they're just looking to raise money from insurance companies and promote a right-wing agenda that is not really very useful in this whole process," Stark told reporters on a conference call.

Ted Kennedy will revive the Democratic Party's flagging push for health care reform. President Obama's senior advisor remembers the "Lion of the Senate." "You've heard of 'win one for the Gipper'? There is going to be an atmosphere of 'win one for Teddy,'" Ralph G. Neas, the CEO of the liberal National Coalition on Health Care, told ABC News.

Good news: Cash for Clunker is taxable!

Image
Something I predicted, not here of course but what the hell, I said it to a co-worker earlier this week; Some Surprised By 'Clunker' Tax The Cash For Clunkers program is adding to the activity at treasurers' offices all around South Dakota. First, people were asking for proof of ownership, so they could show they owned their vehicle for a full year, allowing them to cash it in. Now, they'll be returning to register their new vehicle.  And when they do, new owners need to bring every bit of paperwork provided to them by their dealer. "That means they need their title, their damage disclosure, their bill of sale and the dealers have 30 days to get that to them," Minnehaha County Treasurer Pam Nelson said. But many of those cashing in on the clunkers program are surprised when they get to the treasurer's office windows. That's because the government's rebate of up to $4500 dollars for every clunker is taxable. "They didn't realize that would

Panetta resigning over Holder investigation?

From RedState (below) and AoS : Im hearing a very credible rumor that Leon Panetta has dispatched a resignation letter to Barack Obama on vacation. Panetta is said to be extremely angry about the possible prosecution of CIA officers doing their job and has decided to resign in protest. The rumor is unconfirmed, but given the sourcing I think it is safe to treat it credibly. Update: Denied. Update 2: Or not...

AP: Gov. Mass. Ok with changing law to protect Dem seat...

Really that is the reason . What's interesting and rightly mentioned in the article is the law was changed in 2004 to also protect the Dem's Senate seat. The Mass. legislature assumed Kerry would be the next President and they did not want Republican Governor Mitt Romney selecting the next Senator. The succession law was changed in 2004, when Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., became his party's presidential nominee and Republican Mitt Romney was the state's governor. Before the change, the governor would have appointed a replacement to serve until the next general election. That would have created the opportunity for Romney to install a fellow Republican in office, a move that Democrats who control the state legislature sought to prevent. And now when that change does quite work in the Dems favor they of course will change the rules, again.  BTW, Ted Kennedy urged the change back in 2004...

It didn't take her long did it?

From Breitbart : Kennedy health reform 'dream' will be real this year: Pelosi Aug 26 09:21 AM US/Eastern US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi vowed Wednesday to push through embattled health reform legislation this year following the death of Senator Ted Kennedy, who called the effort "the cause of my life". "Ted Kennedy? s dream of quality health care for all Americans will be made real this year because of his leadership and his inspiration," Pelosi said in a statement.

2004 CBS Investigation of Rathergate: Bush volunteered for Vietnam...

Confirmed : Of course CBS knew this bit of information when Rathergate aired back in 2004 leading up to the election but chose not to inform its viewers.  You see a story about the current president trying to get out of his remaining service commitment doesn't quite jive with someone volunteering for Vietnam missions.  See Wizbang for more .  Here's the confirmation part of Goldberg's piece at his website; Who says? The outside panel CBS brought into to get to the bottom of the so-called "Rathergate" mess says. I recently re-examined the panel's report after a source, Deep Throat style, told me to "Go to page 130." When I did, here's the startling piece of information I found: Mapes had information prior to the airing of the September 8 [2004] Segment that President Bush, while in the TexANG [Texas Air National Guard] did volunteer for service in Vietnam but was turned down in favor of more experienced pilots . For example, a flight instructor w

And since Fixed News has since now migrated completely over to serving propaganda to tin foil hatters, conspiracy theorists, paranoids and racists it is not a news organization making this show the highest rated cable news program, period. And here's the proof; The O'Reilly Factor - 3,440,000 viewers Hannity - 2,937,000 viewers Glenn Beck - 2,810,000 viewers On The Record w/ Greta Van Susteren - 2,450,000 viewers Special Report with Bret Baier - 2,066,000 viewers Fox Report w/Shep Smith - 1,860,000 viewers Countdown w/ K.

Lets see he either wasn't sure, didn't know or forgot to disclose $500,000 in assets...

Oh, he must have forgot these extras ; “House Ways and Means Chairman Charles B. Rangel, already beset by a series of ethics investigations, has disclosed more than $500,000 in previously unreported assets. Among the new items on Rangel’s amended 2007 financial disclosure report were an account at the Congressional Federal Credit Union worth at least $250,000, an investment account with at least $250,000, land in southern New Jersey and stock in PepsiCo and fast food conglomerate Yum! Brands. None of those investments appeared on the original report, which was filled out by hand and filed in May 2008.”

Says Damage Caused by WSJ Op-Ed Shows Mackey is a 'Liability' WASHINGTON, Aug. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- The CtW Investment Group called on the Whole Foods Market (NYSE:WFMI) board to remove CEO John Mackey as Chairman and to begin the process of naming a new CEO in a letter to Whole Foods' lead independent director, Dr. John Elstrott, yesterday afternoon. Citing the risk to Whole Foods' brand reputation caused by Mr. Mackey's editorial opposing President Obama's proposed healthcare reform, CtW urged the board to take immediate action to prevent continued damage in the face of a quickly-growing boycott by Whole Foods' progressive customer base. "Mr. Mackey attempted to capitalize on the brand reputation of Whole Foods to champion his perso

Oh my...

NY Times is comparing Afghanistan to Vietnam and calling it Obama's war : In this summer of discontent for Mr. Obama, as the heady early days give way to the grinding battle for elusive goals, he looks ahead to an uncertain future not only for his legislative agenda but for what has indisputably become his war. Last week’s elections in Afghanistan played out at the same time as the debate over health care heated up in Washington, producing one of those split-screen moments that could not help but remind some of Mr. Johnson’s struggles to build a Great Society while fighting in Vietnam.

They keep using the "we were too stupid to know" excuse...

I thought these guys were elected because they told us they knew how to fix everything but they constantly use the "hey we didn't know" excuse every time bad news is worse than they said it would be.  Imagine if Bush said that; WASHINGTON (AP) -- The federal government faces exploding deficits and mounting debt over the next decade, White House officials predicted Tuesday in a fiscal assessment far bleaker than what the Obama administration had estimated just a few months ago. Figures released by the White House budget office foresee a cumulative $9 trillion deficit from 2010-2019, $2 trillion more than the administration estimated in May. Moreover, the figures show the public debt doubling by 2019 and reaching three-quarters the size of the entire national economy. Obama economic adviser Christina Romer predicted unemployment could reach 10 percent this year and begin a slow decline next year. Still, she said, the average unemployment will be 9.3 in 2009 and 9.8 percent

Outing CIA agents, where's the outrage?

Remember when the left went berserk over the outing of Agent 99 , better known as Valerie Plame? The left could not contain its outrage over the Bush administration alleged actions of blowing the cover of one of its undercover agents in retaliation for her husbands op-ed in the NY Times criticizing the Bush administration for lying us into the Iraq war. Well it turns out she wasn't so undercover and he was the liar . Now fast-forward to Friday's news that lawyers for AQ detainees had shown their clients photographs of CIA agents, outing their identities, I am wondering where is the outrage? The media has been largely silent. Wonder why? If ever there was a violation of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982 this surely would be it, right? So I am waiting patiently for someone in the WH press corp, anyone other than Major Garret or Jake Tapper, to ask a question about this.  Will it happen?  I think not...

Hmm,,,

Strangley familiar .... From his bible, Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals (dedicated to "the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history... the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer”), we learn this: "The first step in community organization is community disorganization. The disruption of the present organization is the first step toward community organization. Present arrangements must be disorganized if they are  to be displace by new patterns.... All change means disorganization of the old and organization of the new." p.116 And this: ""An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent."

More oversight, what a relief!

I am sure the left is just thrilled! U.S. Says Rendition to Continue, but With More Oversight By DAVID JOHNSTON Published: August 24, 2009 WASHINGTON — The Obama administration will continue the Bush administration’s practice of sending terrorism suspects to third countries for detention and interrogation , but pledges to closely monitor their treatment to ensure that they are not tortured, administration officials said Monday. Just like they were assured the Lockerbie bomber would not receive a heroes welcome like the one he received. How'd that work out?

From The Weekly Standard ; President Obama said on Saturday: "Some are also saying that coverage for abortions would be mandated under reform. Also false. When it comes to the current ban on using tax dollars for abortions, nothing will change under reform. " FactCheck.org reported on Friday: "As for the House bill as it stands now, it’s a matter of fact that it would allow both a "public plan" and newly subsidized private plans to cover all abortions.

LA Times: Jackass=Keith Olbermann

Newspaper corrects 'Jackass'-Keith Olbermann mix-up August 21, 2009 |  3:54 am Thank goodness The Times is the forthright, ethical institution that it is. And when a mistake happens, it rushes to set the journalistic record straight with an honest repair. Here is an actual correction from Page A4 of today's print edition: FOR THE RECORD  TV listings: The Prime-Time TV grid in Thursday's Calendar section mistakenly listed MTV's "Jackass" show on the MSNBC cable schedule at 7 and 10 p.m. where instead MSNBC's "Countdown With Keith Olbermann" should have been listed. It's not the Worst Mistake in the World. But without this kind of correction, online too, a few thousand people might have tuned into MSNBC, the Obama administration's favorite cable channel, expecting to see a "Jackass" show, and instead they'd have found Olbermann. Worse, what if nobody noticed the difference? -- Andrew Malcolm

LA Times: Faith In Obama fading...

Even thought their approval rating has him a 57% thats probably due to their poll being of "adults" which is the least accurate measure used. Zogby came out with 45% approval based on "likely voters." The rest of his numbers are in a free-fall; Americans' faith in Obama fading: Poll August 20, 2009 |  8:48 pm Time for vacation, even for a presidential Democrat named Barack Obama . As he prepares for a week off with his family, leaving right after lunch, the president will read in Friday's Washington Post results of a new poll that shows his numbers sharply down. It almost seems like the harder he's worked to sell his healthcare reform program all summer, the more they've seen him speaking earnestly and well in town hall after town hall, the less confidence Americans have developed in the president. The new Post/ABC New s poll of 1,001 Americans between Aug. 13-17 shows that only 49% now believe Obama will make the right decisions for the country

He's whining about those pesky Republicans who just don't seem to want government take over of, well, everything... While continuing to argue he wants a bipartisan bill, President Obama today for first time publicly blamed Congressional Republican leaders for seeing health care reform in only political terms. And for the first time he acknowledged Democrats might go it alone. Before a crowd of loyal Democrats this afternoon, President Obama said his party would pass health care reform with or without Republicans… Earlier, in a radio interview, the President for the first time publicly accused Republican leaders of trying to kill health care reform for political reasons “I think early on, a decision was made by the Republican leadership that said, ‘Look, let’s not give them a victory. maybe we can have a replay of 1993-94 when Clinton came in. He failed on health care and the we won on the midterm elections. and we got the majority.’ And I think there are some folks who are

Zogby says The One is down to just 45% approval...oh and what about those independents? Asked whether they approve or disapprove of the president’s job performance, just 45.3 percent of likely voters say they approve. That compares with 50.5 percent who disapprove of the job Obama is doing. The results are a strong indication that contentious national debate over healthcare reform has taken a major toll on the president’s popularity… Of greatest concern to Obama may well be his decline among all-important independent voters. Just 37.5 percent of self-identified independents say they approve of how Obama is handling the presidency. That compares with 59.2 percent of independents who disapprove… Continued evidence of declining popularity there will ratchet up the pressure on congressional blue dogs and other conservative Democrats to go their own way on controversial proposals such as public-option healthcare and energy cap-and-trade, knowing they can’t rely on presidential coattail

Oh those death panels...

From the WSJ : If President Obama wants to better understand why America's discomfort with end-of-life discussions threatens to derail his health-care reform, he might begin with his own Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). He will quickly discover how government bureaucrats are greasing the slippery slope that can start with cost containment but quickly become a systematic denial of care. Last year, bureaucrats at the VA's National Center for Ethics in Health Care advocated a 52-page end-of-life planning document, " Your Life, Your Choices." (pdf) It was first published in 1997 and later promoted as the VA's preferred living will throughout its vast network of hospitals and nursing homes. After the Bush White House took a look at how this document was treating complex health and moral issues, the VA suspended its use. Unfortunately, under President Obama, the VA has now resuscitated "Your Life, Your Choices." Who is the primary author of this workbook?

Biden: "I know George Bush, and he's no Barack Obama."

Oh my Lord!  From The Daily Beast : The Daily Beast has learned that shortly after his electrifying June 24 disclosure, Panetta spoke personally with each of his three predecessorsGeorge Tenet, Porter Goss, and Michael Haydenand only then realized the mistake hed made about the program. An innocent mistake, but the consequences of his gaffe, which hes unable to admit without damaging his own reputation further, will likely subject U.S. intelligence capabilities to unnecessary and intrusive oversight for years to come. But once Panetta had spoken with Tenet, Goss, and Hayden, he learned that this secret program wasnt much more than a PowerPoint presentation and a task force assigned to think it through. Sensitive information had been collected in a single foreign country, my sources tell me. Thats about it. It wasnt really a coherent program at all so much as a collection of schemes, each attempting to achieve the same objective: to kill terrorists. This was one of perhaps dozens of ide

Woman that Barney Frank compared to furniture is a LaRouche Democrat

This woman claimed that the real unemployment figure is 30%, she had an Obama=Hitler poster ( or compared Obama to Hitler ) and CNN failed to identify her as such .  She clearly mentions LaRouche by name during her statement/question . In fact its clear that a lot of these people carrying Obama=Hitler posters are NOT Republicans.  Notice the African American man sitting to the La Rouche woman's left, he is clearly booing her and not in support of anything she says.  But yet he holds up a Obama=Hitler sign several times during her rant.  These people know that the media is so in the tank for Obama that they will show these clips on TV to imply that theses are all conservatives when in fact they are not.

This is too good.  Nancy Pelosi is complaining about the NBC poll that shows 47% oppose Dear Leader's health care reform destruction plan.... From NBC's Chuck Todd and Mark Murray Liberals and progressives -- including Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office and the group Health Care for America Now -- have raised questions why our poll measured whether Americans supported the "choice" of a public/government option in June, while in July and this month it removed "choice" and simply asked whether Americans favor or oppose the option. "One can only wonder why the NBC/Wall Street Journal poll removed the concept of choice of a public option after 76% of Americans say they want that choice," said HCAN national campaign manager Richard Kirsch in a statement. "By dropping what the president proposes and what the public strongly supports - giving people a choice - from their list of questions, the NBC/Wall Street Journal pollsters misrepresent reform an

CBS News has learned that up to 60,000 people have cancelled their AARP memberships since July 1, angered over the group’s position on health care. … “I think that probably the seniors are most upset with cuts in Medicare,” said ASA President Stuart Barton. The American Seniors Association is flat-out against President Obama’s plan, which calls for $313 billion dollars in Medicare cuts over ten years. The AARP is widely viewed as supporting the President.

I have seen the eyes of people who were being spat upon.” “This is all about activity trying to deny the establishment of a civil right.

See it all here at a blog at the very paper that printed the original story and now has quietly altered certain facts about their screw up.  You'd think they'd be all over this clear astro-turfing by an Obama delegate and works for Organizing For America the former campaign arm for Obama. See Patterico who was on the case at the start and Lone Star Times also has lots of good info.

Obama as Hitler poster a Dem plant, of course...

Image
See here for details but what appears to be the first appearance of the Obama as Hitler poster was at a Dingell Townhall and the man holding it is an Obama/Dingell supporter because he was later seen handing out pro-health care reform flyers... Now why in the world would an Obama supporter do such a thing?

Note the concern on Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee's face...

Harry "astro-turf" Reid and Nancy "swastikas" Pelosi stupidly accused the "angry mob" of being an astro-turf campaign. Well this email from Organizing for America, reported by Jake Tapper of ABC News , would be the correct definition of astro-turfing; Painting Protestors as "Partisan Mobs with Lies About Health Reform," Democrats Rally Their Own Activists to Visit Members of Congress at Town Halls, District Offices August 09, 2009 3:51 PM Supporters of President Obama formerly signed up as members of "Obama for America" received an email today from Mitch Stewart, the director of the group's current incarnation, Organizing for America, to show up at town halls and congressional offices as a counter to the protestors against the president's health care reform push. Painting the protestors as "Insurance companies and partisan attack groups...stirring up fear with false rumors about the President's plan," Stewart'
