Voters by a large margin have said for months they don't want the health-care overhaul he's pushing, so he pushes harder. They want less spending and debt, so he doubles down on pork, bailouts, handouts and taxes.
They thought he would deliver bipartisanship, and he gives his hard-left allies the keys to the kingdom.
They worry about terrorism, so he wants to close Gitmo and move the worst of the worst to the homeland. With Ground Zero still a mess, he gives the 9/11 plotters civilian trials in New York.
His approval ratings are speeding downhill and some 60 percent say the country is on the wrong track. He responds by giving himself a "good solid B-plus" for his first year.
Funny how the Times has to reach back years to come up with a scoop when they miss out on so much today....like...hmm...off the top of my head here.... ACORN, Global Warming Scam, Bowing to Kings, Siding with Dictators, 12 Trillion Dollar Deficit, the 11 month decision on what to do in Afghanistan, etc. None of these stories are "fit to print" apparently.
Sometime back before Dear Leader was elected, I posted this sickening video of public educators indoctrinating impressionable young kids with a song of praise for their Chosen One.
Apparently, outing such despicable, Nazi-like behavior does nothing to stop our public schools from continuing the brainwashing of young minds.
I mentioned a couple days ago that one of my reasons for giving up the blog for most of the summer was that the news was too infuriating. Another reason was this guy gives you too much material! I know, I know, this should be a gold mine for any critic, but he screws up so much that I cannot possibly keep up with it all! One day, if I get to do this for a living, then I will bemoan the fact that The Chosen One isn't around anymore, but until that day comes, I will try to keep it a weekly feature. A quick summary every week of what this guy is doing to screw this country.
This week in review:
- The Chosen One abandons the Missile Defense Shield infuriating the few allies we have that actually back us up. Poland newspaper proclaims: "Betrayal! The U.S. sold us to Russia and stabbed us in the back.". Good job! What did we get from Russia for abandoning this program? Oh, right....nothing.
- ACORN - I cannot leave this out. Yes, I know, the Community Organizer in Chief isn't responsible for the reprehensible actions of his favorite organization. However, this is where our guy earned the bulk of his "experience" and despite its non-partisan tax-funded existence, committed rampant election fraud to get their favorite son in office. Robert Gibbs tried to distance the White House from ACORN this week, but "Barack Obama can no more disown ACORN than he could disown his own shadow. He IS ACORN. And ACORN is him." This scandal has finally gotten to the point where the president's acolytes in the press cannot whitewash it any longer.
He bases it on 3 different factors that I wholeheartedly agree with him on. Some of which made me move out of Manhattan years ago.
The first one, which was one of his major reasons for enforcing term limits on The Greatest Mayor Ever, Rudy Giuliani, was Mayor Mike's business acumen. His campaign reasoned the financial hole created by 9/11 proved the need for such a savvy businessman to save the city. However, he did nothing extraordinary. Any liberal politician would have taken the same, easy way out that he did. As Goodwin explains:
Much of the pain is driven by City Hall, with spending under Bloomberg about 25 percent above inflation. Real-estate taxes are climbing even as market values fall, and virtually every levy and fee has gone up sharply since 2002, and still it’s not enough to satisfy the government beast. The businessman mayor, who promised to guard the buck, has been too quick to spend it.
The second reason is one that give me the headaches that plague me when I am beyond furious and helpless to prevent the reason. This arrogant "I know what's better for you than you do" attitude was on full display in his shameless display of self-aggrandization in overturning term limits. This was voted on TWICE by the citizens of New York. The fact that it came up a second time was a feckless attempt by those in power to overturn the will of their constituents. Yet, the man who would not have been elected in the first place without term limits managed to keep them for himself. And, don't you dare question that!
The second factor in Thompson’s favor is Bloomberg’s cheesy maneuver to eliminate term limits. He was for them until they hit home, so POOF, he made them vanish. Doing the dirty deed with a scandal-scarred City Council further tarnished the mayor’s reputation.
Lastly, the one thing the Mayor touts as his most significant accomplishment actually falls short of a real, quantifiable success. The Education Mayor, the one who the schools would be accountable to has a pretty questionable record. The biggest joke was the Department of Education's progress report that gave A's to 85% of NYC's schools!!! Are you kidding me??? What standard is that based on? That they are still standing? They have running water and electricity? 85%??? Only in Mayor Mike's world, I tell ya!
Compelling evidence shows many of the gains Bloomberg touts are suspect because tests and standards were dumbed down. He has doubled education spending to $22 billion a year, but with 74 percent of city grads who enroll at City University community colleges still needing remediation, the smell of a scam is in the air.
All that and his Nanny Statism on smoking, trans fats and proposed soda taxes are the icing on the cake for me with this guy. Obviously, the man has such a high self-regard that he cannot even allow FREE AMERICANS to make their own decisions for their own lives! No, his reasoning to continue his rule is he-is-smarter-than-you-peasant-and-knows-what's-best-for-you, so don't you get in the way of his ego-feeding!
Part of the reason for my summer hiatus from this blog was the fact that I've become so disillusioned with the state of affairs in this country. Every day, I would read about something this administration, congress and their acolytes in the press was jamming down our throats and it would literally give me headaches because it made me so angry.
I mean, who in their right mind thinks it is a good idea to:
- Give terrorists the same rights as criminals in the United States? They are not even entitled to Geneva Convention Rights, but we're now giving them Miranda Rights?
- Turn a 1 trillion dollar deficit into a projected 12 trillion dollar deficit to "save jobs"?
- Have the federal government take control over entire industries?
- Take the side of dictators over populations who demand free and fair elections in Iran, then Honduras?
I could go on, but the headache is coming. Crazy stuff, huh? It's the American version of Bizarro World, right is wrong, wrong is right, etc. The Orwellian Age is upon us.
So, I return because I have had a little bit of faith restored by two young Americans who have put themselves at risk in order to expose one of the most corrupt organizations we have in this county. ACORN, the federally funded former employer of The Chosen One, rigger of elections, and tax fraud enablers got nailed by two twenty-somethings that care enough about this country to do something about it!
James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles are true American heroes! For those of you who don't know what these young patriots have done for this country, here's a quick synopsis:
Posing as a pimp and hooker, O'Keefe and Giles went into three (that we know of so far) different ACORN offices in Maryland, Washington DC and Brooklyn (click the links to see the videos) seeking advice how obtain mortgages to set up a brothel and import a dozen underage El Salvadorean girls to work there. Not only did the ACORN employees not call the cops, or warn of the dangers of prostitution, they gave advice on how to launder their earnings, how to obtain the mortgages and commit welfare fraud! That's right, a federally funded "community activist" organization is giving advice how to skirt taxes, obtain a house and import child sex slaves!!!
This is the same organization that employed our current president and was promised by The Chosen One would help shape his agenda once he was elected! See below:
James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles have given me hope that not all is lost and inevitable to the Left-Wing Takeover of this great nation!
Joke
