Winning Through Whining

It’s entirely un-Presidential to constantly complain about how the other candidates are always picking on you.  With the notable exception of Rick Santorum who has been known to grouse, correctly, about not getting enough attention at the debates.

Newt is the wort offender by far with his endless bleating.  Oooooohhh, that mean Mitt Romney is running mean, mean commercials about me.  OOOOOhhh, did you know that mean Mitt is a CAPITALIST?

Exactly what is Newt’s plan for coping with the tonnage of manure that Team O will be hurling his way should be become the Republican nominee?  Romney’s ads are going to look like love sonnets by comparison.  By the way, no disrespect meant to manure.  Unlike many politicians, manure has legitimate uses.

Brian’s Snooze Fest

What the hell was that last night?  At least I was able to skip my melatonin last night.  Somebody please fill me in on the last 30 minutes or so.

Newt was hurt the most;  he needs to play to an audience.  NBC’s wildly overpaid anchor, Brian Williams led us into near catatonia by announcing at the start of the alleged debate that the audience was to keep quiet.

If only the same rule could be invoked for tonight’s State of the Union.   We wouldn’t have to watch a bunch of idiot party hacks jumping up and down and carrying on the embarrassing tradition of Pelosirobics.

Ricochet Revenge

On the Night Newt Won South Carolina (you’ll never forget where you where when you got the news on that one), the pundits were all atwitter about the female vote.  How, after all, could women possibly vote for Newt?  Were they not paying attention to all hard work done by the mainstream media to unearth Newt’s angry and unpleasant ex wife; the one person certain to provide the unvarnished truth about the guy who dumped her?

Any woman who has dated or married a man with children knows all too well that somewhere in the package is an ex wife, often a quite angry and disgruntled ex wife who dedicates her life to getting revenge against her ex and his new love.

Turbo Timmy Still Has His Job: Still Have Yours?

He assured us in April that there was absolutely no danger that the U.S. would lose it’s triple A credit rating.  He’s still got his job.

The Obama administration is in a box on this one.  They need to be rid of Turbo Tim (whose father worked closely with Obama’s mother, by the way.  Small world, huh?).  But, getting rid of him means going through the confirmation process on his replacement; an experience Obama doesn’t need right now, what with his full time campaigning and all.

Bad Summer Rerun: Obama’s Debt Ceiling Speech

Oh wait, we’ve seen this one before.  All Bush’s fault, I’m the only reasonable one and corporate jet owners.  Whatever else was on TV last night at 9 pm Eastern was less boring.

Obama once again tried to posture himself as the lone voice of reason in the debt ceiling debate, his recent tantrums notwithstanding.  If only we could lay more taxes on those corporate jet owners–we’re practically overrun with them.  As he prepares to flit off in the grandest corporate jet in the world.

Lame Duck Squawking

At some point, even Democrats had to realize what a liability their lame duck president has become.  Friday’s embarassing performance should have driven the point home even for the dimmest of bulbs.

Thus, we have Harry Reid waving a white flag at the Republicans over the debt ceiling wars.

As was entirely predictablet to anyone outside the Beltway, the Red Diaper brat made a deal with John Boehner, then welshed on the deal and ran to the loving bosom of the mainstream media to whine about Republicans being mean to him.

Beware of Gangs

We admonish our youth to stay away from gangs; perhaps we would do well to to insist that our politicians do the same.  In Washington,  gang affiliation is seen as a good thing.  The latest being the Gang of Six (or seven) with yet another incarnation of a debt ceiling compromise.

Obama likes it, which is enough to convince me it’s bad.

As of this moment, details are still fuzzy.  It’s supposed to cut spending by $6 trillion, but it’s one of those off in the future promises that we can’t count on.

America to Obama: Quit Spending!

According to Gallup, Americans want compromise on the debt ceiling issue but they want the out of control spending binge to stop even more.

Fifty-five percent of Americans polled are worried more that any agreement won’t include plans for spending cuts.  Only 35% are more concerned about a possible economic crisis.

Obama has been getting away with presenting himself as the one who wants compromise and it’s working.  Seventy two percent of independents want a compromise, even if the plan is one they disagree with. 

At least Republicans are on terra firma demanding spending cuts.

Red Diaper Baby’s Tantrum

This is the guy we’ve been told has such a superb temperament?  He’s always just so cool, you know.  Except when he doesn’t get his own way.

Here’s a hint:  no narcissist has a good temperament.  The mere suggestion that a narcissist may be getting less than his required adoration is enough to trigger a rage response.

In Obama’s case, the possibility that the blame for the debt ceiling mess will be his alone was enough to provoke a full bore tantrum.

Obama Takes Hostages

You’ll never go too far wrong if you just assume that there is no end to the shamelessness of today’s Democrats.  It was as predictable as daylight that the President of the United States would sink to threatening to withhold social security checks to gain an advantage in the debt ceiling brawl.

Even if he were serious, as a practical matter, the president cannot simply throw a switch and shut down the social security check printing presses.  

That said, it remains unsound policy to underestimate the despicableness of this president.

Holder Lied, Agents Died

Attorney General Eric Holder told the U.S. Congress in May, 2011 that he had only recently heard about the manifestly stupid government gun running program, Fast and Furious.  However, in April, 2009, Holder boasted about his departments efforts to “break the backs” of drug cartels, citing Project Gunnrunner (aka Fast and Furious) as a shining example of his department’s outside the box thinking.   

He had a point–it takes some real creativity to think it’s a good idea to sell guns to criminals. 

Ten million dollars for Project Gunrunner was right there in Obama’s “stimulus” bill which stimulated the deaths of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and ICE Special Agent Jaime Zapata.

Reverse Stimulus

The Friday before July 4th weekend would be the ideal time to release this little tidbit.  Obama’s own, hand picked Council of Economic Advisors announced that Obama’s “stimulus” cost the tax payer $278,000 for every job allegedly “created or saved”. 

If you believe that “stimulus” created or “saved” just under 2.4 million jobs, it did so at a cost of $666 billion to the rest of us.

Fox Business Network’s Eric Bolling says another estimate put the cost at $1.4 millionper job created or “saved”.  That’s a lot of shekels for part time, temporary census workers.

Obama Speech Reassures Taliban

2012 presidential long shot Barack Obama’s foreign policy campaign speech yesterday succeeded in reassuring the Taliban that America is, indeed, on its way out of Afghanistan.  In an effort to reach out to his left wing base, candidate Obama spoke against a backdrop of conspicuously absent American flags.

His foregin policy remains as muddled as ever.  We continue to drop bombs in Libya, but are withdrawing troops in Afghanistan.  Obama set out no coherent plan nor did he lay out any benchmarks by which we can assess our progress.

Also curiously absent from Obama’s speech was any reference to Pakistan.

McCain Jr Called Obama a “Remarkable Leader”

In case it’s not bad enough that the MSM wants him to be our nominee or that he actually worked for Barack Obama.  John Huntsman wrote a letter to Obama in 2009, calling him a “remarkable leader”.

You are a remarkable leader,’Huntsman wrote in the note, which was leaked to reporters earlier this year. He underlined the word ‘remarkable.

Awwwwww.

As we head into what will be the most vicious, acrimonious re election campaign in American history, how nice that Mr. Huntsman shares his warm and fuzzy feelings for Obama.

Troops Get Kinetic Action Pay

Obama said it.  His Secretary of Defense said it to Chris Wallace–the combat actions in Libya don’t count as “hostilities” and thus, do not fall under the War Powers Resolution.  Showing off his puckish sense of humor, Gates said Libya is a “kinetic action”, not an actual war.

The Pentagon, however, disagrees.  Troops engaged in the Libyan Kinetic Military Action are receiving combat pay.

The Defense Department decided in April to pay an extra $225 a month in imminent danger pay to service members who fly planes over Libya or serve on ships within 110 nautical miles of its shores.

What Keeps Gates Up at Night

Hint:  It’s not what you think.  In his exit interview with Chris Wallace, soon to be former Defense Secretary Bob Gates told Wallace what he worries about the most.  And, no it’s not Islamic terrorism.

It’s us!

Gates bemoaned the loss of bipartisanship in DC as our biggest problem.  When asked by Wallace what he worries about as he looks to the future, the Secretary didn’t mention the two new wars that Obama has dragged America into.  He didn’t mention the rise of home grown jihadism.  Or the war in Afghanistan.  Nope, it’s not Pakistani nukes either.  Nor is it Iran’s nukes.  Our crushing debt?  No worries there, either.

WI: Activist Judge Publicly Spanked

The Wisconsin state Supreme Court smacked the liberal activist judge who tried to dictate policy to the other two branches of state government.  The state Supreme court ruled that Judge Maryann Sumi never had the right to stick her nose into state legislative business when she invalidated Wisconsin’s law which would restrict the collective bargaining “rights” of public service employees.

The court waxed quite eloquent in its public flogging of the activist judge:

The court ruled that Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi’s ruling, which had held up implementation of the collective bargaining law, was in the void ab initio, Latin for invalid from the outset.

Seven Grown Ups vs John King

It was a good night for Republicans who overcame the cringe worthy childishness of CNN’s John King and showed themselves to be a serious crop of grown ups.  King was terribly out of his depth.  A high school kid from the debate team would have been a far better choice as moderator.

King’s incessant attempts at “gotcha” questions finally drove a wearying Newt to chastise the CNN hack for pushing “catastrophic alternatives”.  Is it better to round up all of the illegal aliens and shoot them in the head or to pass immigration reform?

Actual News: Missiles to Myanmar

Taking a break from scouring Sarah Palin’s emails and finding nothing of interest and momentarily stepping away from  Weenie Watch, the AFP is reporting that that US has intercepted a North Korean ship thought to be carrying missiles to Myanmar.

The ship, registered in Belize, was intercepted south of Shanghai on May 26th.  The US destroyer McCampbell asked for permission to board four times and was denied by the North Koreans. 

Eventually, the ship turned bak on its own, tracked by our surveillance planes and satellites.  Myanmar is suspected of running a secret nuke program supported by North Korea.

Help Wanted: Congressional Pervs Need Not Apply

Anthony Weiner is now a victim of his own disastrous economic policies.  The guy can’t find a job.  He’s desperately clinging to his job in congress because, well, what else can the poor fool do?

He’s the nation’s most notorious pervert, has no business or law degree and absolutely no real world work experience.  Thus, congress is his natural habitat.

Democrats aren’t going to be rid of this freak until somebody steps up and offers him a well paying, no show job.  Unless, of course his gainfully employed wife is willing to support him.
