President Obama Abandons the American People
President Obama continues to campaign for re-election, avoiding answers to the troubling questions about the murders in Benghazi of Ambassador Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty, and Tyrone Woods on September 11th, 2012.
The legacy press and media are aiding and abetting this disgraceful cover up by avoiding this scandal completely.
President Obama has time for FEMA, but ignored Benghazi
If it were not for Fox News, Glenn Beck’s TheBlaze.com and Breitbart’s BigGovernment.com, the U.S. voter would only be hearing about Bain, Birth Control, Binders, Big Bird, Bayonets, Bullshit and not Benghazi.
Obama hopes to keep it buried until after his diminishing chances for re election, but the facts keep coming out as we slowly learn the truth. Ironically, this administration has leaked too much secure information when it came to touting the killing of Bin Laden, now suddenly they can keep a “secret”.
We already know that Reuters reportedly obtained three emails dispatched by the State Department’s Operations Center to multiple government offices, including addresses at the White House, Pentagon, intelligence community and FBI, on the afternoon of September 11.
The first email came 20-30 minutes after the attack. It carried the subject “U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi Under Attack.” That email said “approximately 20 armed people fired shots; explosions have been heard as well.”
The White House and Department of State clung to a story that this attack was the result of a “anti-Muslim video” and even arrested a U.S. citizen living in California to back up their claim.
The most disgraceful moment was on September 14, during the ceremony at Joint Base Andrews honoring the four fallen heroes, when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton attempted to hide the terrorist assault this way, “We’ve seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful internet video that we had nothing to do with. It is hard for the American people to make sense of that because it is senseless, and it is totally unacceptable.”
This is a desperate White House who have thrown the CIA, the Defense Department, the Department of State and the brave souls of four Americans under the bus.
Retired Army Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer said Saturday he has sources saying President Barack Obama was in the situation room at the White House watching the assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya unfold.
Two unarmed U.S. drones were dispatched to the consulate and recorded the final hours of the attack, which killed U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
A former Department of Defense official said Friday that if President Barack Obama really gave an order to secure U.S. personnel when the consulate in Libya came under assault, there will a paper trail to prove it.
Francis “Bing” West, who served as an assistant secretary of defense under President Ronald Reagan, told Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren that the president’s explanation about his actions when the U.S. mission in Benghazi was attacked should be easily verifiable.
On Friday, Fox News Channel’s Jennifer Griffin reported that sources on the ground in Benghazi told her “that three urgent requests from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. Consulate and subsequent attack nearly seven hours later were denied by officials in the CIA chain of command — who also told the CIA operators to ‘stand down’ rather than help the ambassador’s team when shots were heard at approximately 9:40 p.m. in Benghazi on Sept. 11.”
The day before, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said there was not enough clear information coming from Benghazi ”and as a result of not having that kind of information, the commander who was on the ground — or in that area, General Ham, General Dempsey and I felt very strongly that we could not put forces at risk in that situation.” He added, “this happened within a few hours and it was really over before, you know, we had the opportunity to really know what was happening.”
This is all in dispute according to Republican Congressman Jason Chaffetz who sits on two Homeland Security subcommittees relaying the responses from General Carter Ham heading up the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) who had direct responsibility for the situation.
General Ham told Chaffetz that the forces were available, but that no order to use them was given. Defense Secretary Panetta had claimed that the refusal to use force had come from him, General Dempsey and General Ham.
On 18 October 2012, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta participated in a “DOD News Briefing on Efforts to Enhance the Financial Health of the Force.” In his introductory remarks, Mr. Panetta said: “Today I am very pleased to announce that President Obama will nominate General David Rodriguez to succeed General Carter Ham as commander of U.S. Africa Command . . .”
So rumors are flying that General Ham has been relieved of duty for not staying under the big wheels of the White House Bus.
This disgraceful action by President Obama fits the narrative he clings to; Osama is dead and Al Qaeda is on the run. That’s why the “War on Terror” was replaced by weaker terms such as “Overseas Contingency Operations”, “Man Caused Disasters” and “Workplace Violence”.
Obama wants to continue to appease the radical Muslims still believing the premise of his Cairo speech of 2009 and his support of the Muslim Brotherhood in the “Arab Spring”. In his speech before the U.N. General Assembly of September 25th, Obama said, “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”
To me the future must not belong to those who kill U.S. citizens in cold blood!
It is easy to point all the blame at President Obama who has shown a huge weakness in protecting our interests and defending these United States at home and abroad, made even worse on the anniversary of September 11th.
Whenever we learn the awful truth behind this catastrophic foreign intelligence failure and the reasons that four brave citizens serving our country died, we might be able to charge the guilty and punish the murderers.
In the meantime, our President has refused to take any responsibility for this tragedy and deserves to be booted out of office on November 6th.
I have great hope that a majority in this nation believe as I do; Barack Obama — You’re Fired!

Third Debate Recap: Romney has Policy, Obama is Foreign
So it’s over, three debates and I’m exhausted. I believe that Mitt Romney played it safe – he’s ahead in the polls and all Obama could do was defend and deflect.
I do not think this will move the dials at all. The questions and answers were too wonkish for the average voter. The American voter only cares about jobs and the economy. They only perked up when they both brought it back to jobs.
I know the pundits will score it once again for Obama, but on content it was all Romney. Obama looked confident, because he could repeat his stump speeches, which has always been lots of rhetoric, little on fact and more on bluster.
Mitt Romney appeared nervous at first, but then his confidence level went up. Romney did not try to attack or go out on a limb. He was told to be calm and not go off tangent, be a leader.
President Obama did attack and try to demean once again, but this backfired badly. Mitt Romney kept telling Obama that personal attacks do not define policy. This then allowed Romney to outline his overall views.
We already know what Obama has done and not done. The nation is well aware of what Barack promised four years ago and failed to achieve. Obama has a failed record, while Romney is saying, just give me the shot and the nation will win.
My prediction is based on my feelings only; Romney will continue to rise in the national and swing state polls, while Obama will reach total desperation. In the last week Obama will unleash poisonous attack after poisonous attack, only to turn off the electorate.
Mitt Romney will become the 45th President of the United States and good times are ahead!

Second Debate Recap; Romney Goes to Town, While Obama Goes to Hell
The State Owned Media, Obama surrogates and most pundits all agree that Barack Obama won handily over Mitt Romney in last night’s second debate. However undecided voters in focus groups on MSNBC and Fox News had it much differently, declaring Romney the winner?
Even worse, the CNN flash poll had even more proof that Romney won;
“Who would do a better job on the economy?” 58% Romney 40% Obama (CBS had it at 65% Romney 34% Obama)
“Who would do a better job on health care?” 49% Romney 46% Obama
“Who would better handle Taxes?” 51% Romney 44% Obama
“Who would better handle the deficit?” 59% Romney 36% Obama
Despite those overwhelming numbers for Mitt Romney, CNN’s Headline read that Obama won this debate 46% to 39% for Romney. I call this Journalistic Malpractice.
It is also the result of really lousy polling as they only canvassed 457 Registered Voters. But considering the number of viewers CNN has, that probably reflects their entire viewing audience!
The true “winner” of this debate could be CNN’s Candy Crowley, who injected her own analysis of what she believed President Obama said in his Rose Garden speech of September 12th. Crowley stepped in way over her pay grade and was suddenly the Referee stopping a touchdown, passing judgement on what the President did or didn’t say. (Watch the video and ignore the caption)
This interruption stopped Romney’s response and he may have been ready to pounce on the fact that Obama, Hillary Clinton and Susan Rice kept touting a never seen YouTube video as the reason for their claim of a “spontaneous protest”. A cover, that President Obama stated two weeks later at the United Nations, blaming the video 6 times and the murders via terrorism 0.
Candy Crowley showed even more institutional bias by interrupting Mitt Romney 28 times to Barack Obama’s 9. Why the RNC keeps agreeing to these Liberal moderators is beyond me. Why not a Brit Hume, Mike Wallace or even Megyn Kelly for at least one of the three presidential debates?
Despite this, Mitt Romney got to defend his position on the GM bailout, his 5 point tax plan and how he is nothing like George Bush. Romney provided detailed answers of his policies and how he views America very differently from Barack Obama.
President Obama stuck to his stump boiler plate and rhetorical answers to the questions. His biggest gaffe was on oil prices, claiming that the reason they were $1.84 a gallon in 2008 was because the economy was in bad shape. So by that equation, $4.50 a gallon today means the economy is booming?
Read Hugh Hewitt’s take; So Let’s Talk About Libya, Fast & Furious, Gas Prices and Jeremy’s Job: Romney Wins Again and GOP Is 3-0
This debate will not stop Obama’s poll numbers from declining and it has reinforced those undecideds that Barack Obama promises nothing new if he gets another four years. They have only one choice, fire Obama and elect Mitt Romney as President to re energize our economy, jobs and make the United States the best place on earth, once again.

President Race Baiter Debates “Rich White Guy”
After endless months of campaigning, days worth of talking head surrogates and idiot pundits, President Obama and Mitt Romney held the first of their three debates. Hallelujah!
Jim Leher’s opening was almost bungled, but what do you expect from a very old rich liberal white guy.
Round 1, 2, 3, 4 and on – all on the Economy, so why did they need segments or Leher for that matter?
Obama started off with his boiler plate stump speech on the “worst economy” and the jobs lost and then his faux jobs created, the auto industry is “roaring back”. Then Obama’s left slant on spending, spending, spending. He could only talk about the standard Liberal philosophy of the lat 50 years, ‘investing more in education”, closing loop holes for companies “shipping jobs overseas”. Then on to his energy boiler plate about wind, solar and bio-fuels. He kept that up the entire night and kept looking to Jim Leher for help, hardly looking at Romney, while speaking.
Romney was very well prepared and came off very presidential with great experience as a former Governor and a savvy business man. He landed the right punches and countered Obama’s terrible record every chance he could. Mitt Romney attacked the agenda and failures of Obama; the deficit, the increased cost of healthcare, the rise of welfare, unemployment and the $90 billion into failed green energy programs.
Obama continually resorted to his standard stump speeches and leftist agenda that has only been warmly accepted by his supporters. At the debate he had to defend his failures for the first time because he was challenged by Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney was on the offensive all evening and attacked smartly with memorable lines like, “trickle down Government” and (Obama’s) “path is unsuccessful”, “$90 billion to failed green energy”, “you pick losers”.
The left is screaming mad, CNN has given the debate victory to Romney and MSNBC is calling all of Romney’s facts ‘lies”.
We got ’em buzzing and this is a great momentum changer and boost for Mitt Romney.
The Vice Presidential debate on the 11th will continue the success as Paul Ryan will take Joe Biden apart.
CNN/ORC Poll among registered voters; 67% Romney, 25% Obama!

President Obama Pretends Killing of Libyan Ambassador is Workplace Violence
President Obama cannot use the word, “terrorism”, when al Queda launched a planned attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, killing Ambassador Chris Stephens and three other U.S. personnel on September 11th, 2012. Is this “Workplace Violence” or an “Overseas Contingency Operation”?
Obama campaigning in Las Vegas on Wednesday
Obama and the White House want us to believe that the murders are a result of a spontaneous demonstration over a never seen YouTube video that ridicules the Islamic Prophet Muhammed, similar to the invasion of our Embassy in Cairo the same day.
Message to President Obama: your “unclenched fist” towards Muslim states is NOT working. Your lofty speech in Cairo in 2009 was all posturing with no backbone.
The fecklessness began hours before “protesters” arrived at the Cairo embassy, with this statement;
“September 11, 2012
The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.”
This well orchestrated invasion of our sovereign territory was backed by the Muslim Brotherhood and President Mohamed Morsi. Let us not forget that President Obama and the rest of his dickheads in the administration backed the rise and election of the Brotherhood in Egypt.
While the President remained silent and totally focused like a “laser beam” on his re-election bid, a heinous attack was committed on our Libyan mission in Benghazi and four U.S. citizens were murdered.
Early on Wednesday morning Obama made his formal statement in the Rose Garden, referring to the slaughter as an act of violence and never attempted to call it a planned act of terrorism.
“There is absolutely no justification for this type of senseless violence. None. The world must stand together to unequivocally reject these brutal acts.”
Why was there no enhanced security at our Benghazi or Cairo missions on September 11th? Where is the State Department in this debacle? Perhaps Barack Obama’s lack of attention to the Daily Intelligence Briefings has demonstrated his laziness and ego in campaigning more than concentrating on U.S. security?
Marc Thiessen said, “President Obama is touting his foreign policy experience on the campaign trail, but startling new statistics suggest that national security has not necessarily been the personal priority the president makes it out to be. It turns out that more than half the time, the commander in chief does not attend his daily intelligence meeting.”
Twelve and a half hours later, President Obama could barely utter the word “terrorism” at a campaign stop in Las Vegas. “I assure you we are going to bring their criminals to justice,” “And we want to send the message around the world that no act of terror will dim the light of the values that we proudly shine on the rest of the world.”
That’s it, then on to his standard campaign boiler plate; “We are not going back, we are going forward, we are going forward,” “We are going forward Nevada, and that’s why I’m running for a second term.”
“We don’t believe in an economy that flows from the top down, we believe in an economy that flows from the middle out and from the bottom up,” Obama said. “We believe in an economy that gives everyone a chance.”
The entire day, Obama, his surrogates and the press were in a non stop critique of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his statement condemning the White House, the State Department and Obama on the handling of the Cairo Embassy invasion and these senseless murders in Libya.
Mitt Romney:
“America will not tolerate attacks against our citizens and against our embassies. We will defend also our constitutional rights of speech and assembly and religion. We have confidence in our cause in America. We respect our Constitution. We stand for the principles our Constitution protects. We encourage other nations to understand and respect the principles of our Constitution because we recognize that these principles are the ultimate source of freedom for individuals around the world.
“I also believe the Administration was wrong to stand by a statement sympathizing with those who had breached our embassy in Egypt instead of condemning their actions. It’s never too early for the United States Government to condemn attacks on Americans, and to defend our values. The White House distanced itself last night from the statement, saying it wasn’t ‘cleared by Washington.’ That reflects the mixed signals they’re sending to the world.
“The attacks in Libya and Egypt underscore that the world remains a dangerous place and that American leadership is still sorely needed. In the face of this violence, America cannot shrink from the responsibility to lead.”
More than twenty four hours after the “mob” invaded the Cairo Embassy, tore down the Stars & Stripes, ripped it and then burned it, replacing it with the black flag of al Queda, violent crowds are still massed outside our embassy.
This is a reminder that we elected a man as president, who only speaks of appeasement with Muslim nations, while casting aside our most trusted democratic ally, Israel, to genuflect to Mecca.
President Obama has a worse record than Jimmy Carter, but his weakness reminds me of November 4th, 1979, when our U.S. mission in Tehran was invaded and 52 Americans were held hostage for 444 days.
The similarities between Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama are frightening.
God help us to elect Mitt Romney as the 45 U.S. President and send Barack Obama to the ash heap of history!

The DNC and Obama is the Party of Backwardness
So I’m watching Sandra Fluke, speaking before the Democratic National Convention, preaching a pack of lies and misinformation on birth control. What makes this recent graduate of Georgetown Law School an expert on politics, birth control or preventive medicine. Absolutely nothing!
This is the crux of the rise of Barack Obama and Sandra Fluke, two people with no expertise, talent or real world experience trying to tell us how we should live.
If Sandra Fluke can be elevated into a position of an expert and a spokesperson for woman’s rights, then that gives credence to Barack Obama being portrayed as a “constitutional expert” and Commander in Chief.
According to this political convention the Democratic party is the party of abortion, birth control, welfare, government healthcare, food stamps and an ever growing government. It’s a party that celebrates men like Ted Kennedy and Bill Clinton. Two philanderers; not great models of how you treat woman with respect and dignity.
Later, it’s that part Cherokee white lady, Elizabeth Warren, lecturing us about our “fair share”, hating Wall Street and “protecting” the little guy.
I call all this BULLSHIT and I’m so tired of the phoney failures telling me that you build the country from the bottom up. These elitists of the political class no nothing about the real world and speak to me like I’m in Russia in 1912.
Scary stuff.
Come November, it is an easy decision; do you want Government control of your lives, huge debt, higher taxes, no jobs, an economy like Greece and woman at the whim and will of Washington? Or do you want freedom and a country with limited government and prosperity.
The choice is so easy, unless you are a moron.

Obama’s 2012 Campaign Mired in 1976 and 1992
It is ironic that President Obama and all his surrogates keep saying that the Romney-Ryan ticket offers no new ideas and will bring us back to the Bush era. Yet, without any record of achievement to speak of, the Democratic National Convention will reach back 36 years to President Jimmy Carter’s failed presidency and then hope for inspiration from President Bill Clinton.
That’s looking “Forward” isn’t it?
Let’s not forget that there will be appearances from John Kerry, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel; where there is an average of 20 murders a day, Birth Control specialist Sandra Fluke, Congressman Barney Frank, President of NARAL Pro-Choice America Nancy Keenan, Caroline Kennedy, Lilly Ledbetter, billed as a Women’s rights activist (the Supreme Court, denied her claim because no allegedly discriminatory pay-setting act had occurred within the 180 days provided by the statute of limitations before Ledbetter filed suit), Campaign Co-Chair Eva Longoria, President of Planned Parenthood Action Fund Cecile Richards, Los Angeles Mayor, Democratic Convention Chair Antonio Villaraigosa, Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren (representing Native Americans?) as well as DNC Chair Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida.
It will be a Leftist’s Romp and tribute to Karl Marx and everything that is wrong with this President and America.
The New York Times revealed on Sunday, that it is Valerie Jarrett who is THE power behind Barack Obama and is one of only two people he trusts and listens to. This is why both Rahm Emanuel and William M. Daley left their posts of White House Chief of Staff, as they were emasculated every day by “VJ”.
Today, President Obama dismissed criticism he doesn’t spend enough time developing relationships with Washington deal-makers who can help push his agenda forward because he prioritizes time at home with his children. He forgot to mention 104 times on the golf course.
Over the next 4 nights and up to election day you will hear this mantra as espoused by Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. Let’s not forget that Mayor Villar (his real name) is a serial philanderer and failed the Californian bar four times. Intelligence is not a criteria to be a member of the Democrat party. So Villar repeated the talking point that the Republican platform “looks like the platform of 1812”. Not to be out done by Barack Obama, “They want to take us back to the policies more suited to the 1950s than the 21st century.”
What you will not hear this week are these facts.
- Unemployment on Inauguration 2009, 7.8% – Today, 8.3% and we have had 43 consecutive months above 8%
- Participation in the Labor Force on Inauguration 2009, 65.5% – Today 63.7%, coming close to Jimmy Carter territory.
- Median Annual Income, June 2009 $53,518 – June 2012 $50,964, a drop of 4.9%
- Fuel Price average on Inauguration 2009, $1.85/gallon – Today $3.83 a 207% increase!
Barack Obama will undoubtedly give a rousing speech making all sorts of specious claims of phony “achievements” on Thursday night and blame everybody he can for his failed agenda. The truth is in the numbers and most specifically the over 23 million unemployed, the massive increase in the poor and those on welfare.
Barack Obama has been an epic failure and a huge disaster for this nation. We cannot forget that on July 13th, in a campaign speech in Roanoke, Virginia our Chicago Professor said,
“If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.”
Let’s boot him out of office in November by electing Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan and start our road to recovery and prosperity.
Our future as a people and a nation depends on it.

President Obama’s Latest “Gutsy” Decision
You would think that when state-owned NBC News interrupted regular programming today with Brian Williams, that President Obama found a cure for cancer? No such luck, it was only to tell us that President Obama flip-flopped once again and now believes that, “I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married,”
What a President, what a fearless, “gutsy” leader Barack Obama has proven to be. He gave a carefully couched statement on an issue that is so below the average American’s radar that it barely shows up in polling.
I’ve already stated this; that Obama can only discuss wedge issues in his re-election bid, because his achievements and leadership is way less than zero.
In Gallup’s polling on Americans’ List of Top Problems, “Gay Rights Issues” comes in at 41st out of a total list of 54.
What do you think are the top five issues for American voters?
1 Economy in General 26%
2 Unemployment/Jobs 22%
3 Poor Healthcare/hospitals; high cost of healthcare 15%
4 Government/Congress/Politicians; poor leadership; corruption; abuse of power 12%
5 Immigration/Illegal Aliens 10%
Gay Rights has an asterisk, because it barely registers among voters.
Today’s statement by Barack Obama, symbolizes how ineffective he has been as President and Commander-in-Chief.
I said it way back in 2008, before the election, that Obama was an “empty suit”.
Obama’s sit down interview announcement today was no accident. David Axelrod, who carefully steers every appearance and word Obama utters, has orchestrated his statement today. Joe Biden was told to talk about Gay Marriage on NBC’s “Meet the Press.’’
On Tuesday, North Carolina voters outlawed gay marriage by a 61%-39% margin. They were the 31st state to have voted in favor of constitutional amendments that seek to defend traditional definitions of marriage as a heterosexual union. Eight out of ten key “Swing States” that Obama needs to win in November have voted to ban same sex marriage.
They are; North Carolina, Colorado, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Nevada and Wisconsin, which represents 120 Electoral College votes out of a total of 270, needed to win. In other words, those states represent 44% of the possible Electoral College votes to win the Presidency.
Not only is Obama dividing the nation by classes, religious beliefs, gender and income. He now seeks to divide Americans on State’s Rights. Marriage laws are strictly defined by the individual states as outlined in the U.S. Constitution.
The Obama campaign, re branded with the slogan “Forward”, can only talk about Gay Marriage, or Birth Control or your “fair share”.
U.S. voters are really hoping that our president might approve the Keystone pipeline, or open up Federal lands to oil and gas exploration. Approve off shore drilling, repeal Obamacare, rescind the thousand of pages of EPA regulations. Improve the economy and unemployment.
Not President Obama, he’s busy pointing in the opposite direction and changing the subject. The real change will have to wait for Mitt Romney, when he becomes the 45th President of the United States in January 2013. Meanwhile, we’re stuck with “gutsy”.

President Obama’s War on Americans
A distraction a day is the only weapon that Barack Obama and his re-election campaign operatives have in their arsenal. President Obama, having no achievements to tout in his failed three years in office, makes every speech an attack.
Pick the topic; contraception, Wall Street, the wealthy, racism, religion, the Supreme Court, the environment, energy, health care, the Ryan Budget, the Republicans, Mitt Romney and the “war on woman”.
Obama meeting with female staffers to air their complaints, November 5th, 2009.
I have never seen a more divisive and nastier president than Barack Obama, who is truly waging a war on every good citizen in America.
The Democrat operatives and Obama himself can spew all they want on their latest phony issue, the “Republican War on Woman”. But the truth is that Barack Obama has one of the worst records when it comes the treatment of woman, even in the White House.
In the book, “Confidence Men: Wall Street, Washington, and the Education of a President,” by journalist Ron Suskind, women have occupied many of the West Wing’s senior positions but felt outgunned and outmaneuvered by male colleagues.
At a dinner in November 2009, several senior female aides complained directly to the president that men enjoyed greater access to him and often muscled them out of key policy discussions.
“This place would be in court for a hostile workplace,” former White House communications director Anita Dunn is quoted as saying. “Because it actually fit all of the classic legal requirements for a genuinely hostile workplace to women.”
“I felt like a piece of meat,” Christina Romer, former head of the Council of Economic Advisers, said of one meeting in which Suskind writes she was “boxed out” by Summers.
Female employees in the Obama White House make considerably less than their male colleagues, records show.
According to the 2011 annual report on White House staff, female employees earned a median annual salary of $60,000, which was about 18 percent less than the median salary for male employees ($71,000).
Ironically, on Wednesday the Obama campaign attacked Mitt Romney for not endorsing the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act, that made it easier to file discrimination lawsuits by increasing the law’s statute of limitations.
That evening on CNN, Democrat campaign strategist, Hilary Rosen, attacked Mitt Romney by insulting his wife, Ann Romney, saying, “Guess what? His wife has actually never worked a day in her life.” “she has never really dealt with the kinds of economic issues that a majority of the women in this country are facing, in terms of how do we feed our kids, how do we send them to school, and why do we worry about their future.”
Yes, the War on Woman, especially Conservative Woman — sounds familiar doesn’t it. It’s a Democrat theme, whether it’s Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Ann Coulter, Nikki Haley, Jan Brewer, Michelle Malkin. Any woman that defies the statist view of how woman should live their lives as espoused by Barack Obama and the entire Democratic party.
Standing up and being outspoken to this administration means you have to expect a withering attack on your beliefs and person. It’s entirely un-American and designed to force you to surrender to the state and be dependent on government, forever.
We are not Russia, or Cuba or any Islamic state. This is the United States of America. In order to keep it safe from the most destructive and left-wing president this nation has ever elected, we must be a force for justice and turn out in the greatest numbers ever to throw Barack Obama out of office.
We can end this war on all American by voting for every Republican candidate running for office in November.

President Obama Runs His Mouth Off Again
Our media-vaunted “Constitutional Law Professor”, President Barack Obama, attacked the U.S. Supreme Court and the Constitution in one off the cuff response, at a joint press conference with President Calderon of Mexico and Canadian Prime Minister Harper, in the White House Rose Garden, today.
In Obama’s now standard un-presidential manner, he threatened the Justices on their consideration of the constitutionality of “ObamaCare”.
“We are confident that this will be upheld because it should be upheld,” “It’s constitutional.” “I’m confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress,” “I’d just remind conservative commentators that for years what we’ve heard is the biggest problem on the bench is judicial activism or a lack of judicial restraint.”
“That an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law. Well, here’s a good example. And I’m pretty confident that this court will recognize that, and not take that step,”
You don’t say. Barack Obama is a thug and very worried that his only piece of legislation will go down in flames and ruin his re-election chances. While pretending to care about the lives of the American people he is really just caring about himself.
This is the second time Obama has ridiculed the Supreme Court. In his SOTU speech in January of 2010, Barack said, “Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests — including foreign corporations — to spend without limit in our elections,” “Well I don’t think American elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests, or worse, by foreign entities. They should be decided by the American people, and that’s why I’m urging Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps to right this wrong.”
The condemnation of President Obama’s remark was swift and best expressed by Bradley A. Smith, chairman of the Center for Competitive Politics. “The President’s swipe at the Supreme Court was a breach of decorum, and represents the worst of Washington politics — scapegoating ‘special interest’ bogeymen for all that ails Washington in attempt to silence the diverse range of speakers in our democracy,”
It’s not unusual for Presidents to disagree with the Supreme Court, when it rules against them. This is usually done through a statement after the court has rendered a decision.
President Obama believes that he can publicly criticize the court while adjudicating, showing the world that he knows squat about the U.S. Constitution and the job of U.S. President.
I only hope that Obama’s public denunciations will strengthen the Supreme Court Justices to slap Barack really hard for his big fat stupid mouth and rule that the mandate is un-constitutional!
The founders knew what they were doing when they created three distinct and co-equal branches of government. The Supreme Court is upholding it’s Constitutional authority and doing exactly what it is supposed to do; deciding on whether this crap sandwich massive piece of legislation is legal or not.
President Obama just can’t stop being the idiot he has always been.

An Angeleno's View of the World
