Back To The Fifties With Harry "Jim Crow" Reid

Remember this post where I asked Would Harry Reid Try To Get Obama's Attention By Yelling "Hey Negro"?

Well apparently he would!

The top Democrat in the U.S. Senate apologized on Saturday for comments he made about Barack Obama's race during the 2008 presidential bid and are quoted in a yet-to-be-released book about the campaign.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada described in private then-Sen. Barack Obama as "light skinned" and "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." Obama is the nation's first African-American president.

And Joe Biden says "Don't forget clean, Harry! He's clean too!" Reid & Robert Byrd then broke into a rousing duet of "Old Man River" and closed with "Mammy".

Good grief, I don't know whether to laugh at them or feel sorry for them.

Nancy Pelosi Takes Swipe At President Obama's Campaign Promises

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, piqued with White House pressure to accept the Senate health reform bill, threw a rare rhetorical elbow Tuesday at President Barack Obama, questioning his commitment to his 2008 campaign promises.

A leadership aide said it was no accident.

Pelosi emerged from a meeting with her leadership team and committee chairs in the Capitol to face an aggressive throng of reporters who immediately hit her with C-SPAN’s request that she permit closed-door final talks on the bill to be televised.

A reporter reminded the San Francisco Democrat that in 2008, then-candidate Obama opined that all such negotiations be open to C-SPAN cameras.

“There are a number of things he was for on the campaign trail,” quipped Pelosi, who has no intention of making the deliberations public.

Helen Rules, Gibbs Drools...

Now I'm no fan of Helen, but I could watch her jab her pen in Gibbs eye all day long. Gibbs freakin' hates her! It's like watching a wizened old political reporter tear up a half-wit that eats play-dough. In fact it's exactly like that.

Maybe He Slipped'em A Roofie?

Lord It's Like A Hard Leftist Christmas...

White house Christmas tree decorated with Mao, Obama on Rushmore, and a transvestite

...the White House Christmas tree is decorated with bulbs sporting Mao Tse Tung, President Obama on Mount Rushmore and a transvestite. Odd choices for celebrating the birth of Christ in my opinion.

That's quite a troika. Hedda is mostly harmless... not apropos at all, but mostly harmless.

Obama on Rushmore? Well he belongs there right? He knows it, you know it.

But Mao? Oh Tannen-Mao? The man who killed 40 million people and began the persecution of the Church in China that continues to this day? The man who began the persecution of all religion in China that continues to this day? The man who began a holocaust of infanticide (abortion and the murder of little girls) that would make Herod blush? One would like to think even Mr. & Mrs. Barack Hussein Obama aren't that strident and knob-headedly unaware. But apparently one would be wrong.

This is the silly gent who designed the tree.

You'll Feel A "Pinch" When The Needle Goes In. That's Called The "Point".

Missing The Point On Health Care Reform

If health care passes, but then gets repealed, the President wins. If health care passes, and Democrat Senators don’t get reelected, the President wins. If health care passes, and the House switches to Republican, the President wins. If more Americans are without health care, the President wins.

And Barack Obama thinks that when he wins, America wins. He IS the new America. He is wrong, but don’t anyone tell him that. Not that he’s listening anyway.

This bill is as empty as the President himself. It is meaningless, at this point. Everyone hates it and not because that’s what happens when big bills get passed. Everyone hates this bill because it’s the worst sort of American politics: selling out to special interests, increasing the scope and influence of government, individual mandates, covering the wrong procedures, increasing taxes, cutting care. It’s all in there. It’s vile. And still, all these “historic” provisions are meaningless because they’re all expendable. [...]

This health care bill will be a Democratic soul-killing, empty, symbolic victory and be the perfect symbolic show for the perfect symbolic President. He can say, “I won.”

And that’s the point of this bill.

Don't worry though, when they're through draining your wallet... they'll give you a cookie and some juice. But if you need to see a doctor... unfortunately there'll be bit a of wait.

Paul Mirengoff: Why does he hate us? Barack Obama's America-effacing presidency

Obama's antipathy toward America should come as no surprise. Although he has lived a rich and varied life, there has been one constant - exposure to the left's disparaging narrative about America.

Obama grew up in a radically left-wing household, attended elite colleges where a jaundiced view of America is orthodox, and spent the remainder of his formative years as a community organizer alongside the likes of former domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and the "God damn America" ranting Jeremiah Wright. No wonder Obama is serving up a "God damn American lite" presidency.

I hate to say I told you... Wait! No I don't... I told you so before you voted for him. A lot of us did. How's that "change" working out for you?

The Jihad Circus Is Coming To Town

Holder Announces Plan to Send Alleged Sept. 11 Conspirators to New York Court

Mohammed and the four others -- Waleed bin Attash, Ramzi Binalshibh, Mustafa Ahmad al-Hawsawi and Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali -- are accused of orchestrating the attacks that killed 2,973 people on Sept. 11, 2001, and will now be tried in a courtroom down the street from the World Trade Center.

If they can beat the rap there, they can beat it anywhere! Does the administration have any idea what a farce these trials are going to be? Unfortunately they probably do. They just don't care. They're treating monsters who made war on the USA as common criminals. Why not just charge them with jaywalking, slap'em on the wrist, give'em their green cards and sign'em up for that good ol' free health care? Uh! I take that back! I don't want to give Obama any ideas.

A Few Other Nobel Peace Prize Winners

In all fairness to the committee, it is an odd and eclectic bunch:

Martti Ahtisaari - Hey, he brought about peace...

Muhammad Yunus - Yep... did something...

Wangari Muta Maathai - Ditto... she has some accomplishments under her turban...

Médecins Sans Frontières - No placebos here...

Yasser Arafat - Not necessarily "peaceful", but you can't say he was all talk and no action...

Mother Theresa - Did a few good things... despite being a Christian!

Martin Luther King Jr. - Did more than dream...

I have a few suggestions for other Nobel awards:

Paris Hilton: Chastity

Roman Polanski: Decency

Rachel Maddow: Femininity

Kayne: Introspection

G.W. Bush: Elocution

I Can't Quite Put My Finger On It, But There's Something Wrong With This Line Of Reasoning

Al Qaeda's Diminished Role Stirs Afghan Troop Debate

Al Qaeda has a diminished role? I thought we just lost eight American troops. I guess Al Qaeda is diminished as much as the recession.

I've never been a fan of long wars or nation building. We should have just nuked the whole of Afghanistan on September 12th. I don't mean that as hyperbole. We are at war. In a war you break and vaporize things, and kill people.

Victoria Jackson Speaks Truth To Power

Down is Up, Unfair is Fair and Ignorance is Bliss

I woke up in the middle of the night and realized the trick.

You see, evil doesn’t just show up. It disguises itself as something nice; so you’ll let it in. It tricks you.

Murdering babies is called Pro-Choice. Unfair Censorship is called The Fairness Doctrine. Outlandish Taxes and the Death of Freedom is called Cap & Trade. Sounds like Fish & Chips. You gotta figure out the trick.

Victoria, I think you're absolutely correct. Hitler was a statist. Stalin was a statist. Obama and today's leftists (masquerading as "liberal") are statists. They all place the sovereignty of "The State" over the individual. They all eschew individual liberty. If that means you or I need to do without electricity for 10 hours a day - so be it. If that means the State needs 99% of your income in order to "do good" - so be it. If that means a baby, or the sick, or the old need to die for the good of the State - so be it. They won't ever say it in such blunt terms, but that's what their "welfare" and "choices" and "compassion" boil down to.

Elecciones Por Hugo

We interrupt the death of Michael Jackson to bring you some slightly more important information.

Need to win an election by hook or by crook? Call Hugo Chavez.

Honduras Defends Its Democracy

That Mr. Zelaya acted as if he were above the law, there is no doubt. While Honduran law allows for a constitutional rewrite, the power to open that door does not lie with the president. A constituent assembly can only be called through a national referendum approved by its Congress [...]

Honduras is fighting back by strictly following the constitution. The Honduran Congress met in emergency session yesterday and designated its president as the interim executive as stipulated in Honduran law. It also said that presidential elections set for November will go forward. The Supreme Court later said that the military acted on its orders. It also said that when Mr. Zelaya realized that he was going to be prosecuted for his illegal behavior, he agreed to an offer to resign in exchange for safe passage out of the country. Mr. Zelaya denies it.

Many Hondurans are going to be celebrating Mr. Zelaya's foreign excursion. Street protests against his heavy-handed tactics had already begun last week. On Friday a large number of military reservists took their turn. "We won't go backwards," one sign said. "We want to live in peace, freedom and development." [...]

For Hondurans who still remember military dictatorship, Mr. Zelaya also has another strike against him: He keeps rotten company. Earlier this month he hosted an OAS general assembly and led the effort, along side OAS Secretary General José Miguel Insulza, to bring Cuba back into the supposedly democratic organization. [...]

The struggle against chavismo has never been about left-right politics. It is about defending the independence of institutions that keep presidents from becoming dictators. This crisis clearly delineates the problem. In failing to come to the aid of checks and balances, Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Insulza expose their true colors.

This was not a coup against Zelaya. It was the prevention of a coup by Zelaya. The military refused to help him improperly change the constitution. The Congress, Attorney General, and the Supreme Court all said the President was acting illegally. Now Congress has constitutionally appointed the next President according to the line of succession, and the next elections will not be disrupted. If anyone was attempting a "coup" it was Mr. Zelaya and his "Ballots by Hugo." Just look at who's supporting him: Chavez, Ortega, Castro, and the Obama administration.

The Kowtow In Cairo

Weak as water, President Obama's "World Mea Culpa Tour" stopped in Cairo today. There, he drew a daft moral equivalence between the self-inflicted suffering of the Palestinians and their self-styled war of genocide against Israel, and the Holocaust that was brought on the Jewish people during World War II.

Either ignorantly or intentionally, Obama failed to mention that the Palestinians could have had a nation-state of their own at any time from 1948 on but chose instead to follow terrorists - posing as leaders and friends of Jimmy Carter - thus ensuring a life of poverty and violence.

The American President did a great disservice today not only to Israel (our only real, democratic ally in the middle east), but also the Palestinians. By watering down the truth in a vain effort to "share the wealth" of blame he ensured that those who perpetrate violence won't have to take responsibility for their acts and allowed them to keep hiding beneath a burqa of feigned innocence.

Finally, Obama kicked the chair out from under his own nation by declaring that America won't be taking a firm stand against the Arab nations such as Syria and Iran and groups like Hezbollah, Fatah, and Hamas as they seek the ultimate means to destroy the very land they claim.

These are two good articles on B. Hussein Obama's speech:
