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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week in review:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The Chosen One abandons the Missile Defense Shield infuriating the few allies we have that actually back us up.  Poland newspaper proclaims: "&lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090918/ap_on_re_eu/eu_eastern_europe_missile_defense_22"&gt;Betrayal! The U.S. sold us to &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1253275832_1"&gt;Russia&lt;/span&gt; and stabbed us in the back.".&lt;/a&gt;  Good job!  What did we get from Russia for abandoning this program?  Oh, right....nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;a href="http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/sep/18/obama-ties-immigration-to-health-care-battle/print/"&gt;The New Messiah announces how he will keep his health care for all, except illegal immigrants promise.  Legalize all who are here illegally!&lt;/a&gt;  Wow, a rare glimpse of honesty from the administration!  I mean, we all knew this was the hidden agenda all along, I am just amazed he admitted it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- 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 &lt;a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2009/09/17/triple-snort-worthy-white-house-distances-itself-from-acorn/"&gt;"Barack Obama can no more disown ACORN than he could disown his own shadow. He IS ACORN. And ACORN is him."&lt;/a&gt;  This scandal has finally gotten to the point where the president's acolytes in the press cannot whitewash it any longer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2009/09/16/obama-admin-cap-and-trade-will-cost-families-1761-per-year/#"&gt;The Fresh Prince's claims that Cap and Trade legislation would only cost $175 per household per year was refuted by his own Treasury Department's estimate of nearly 10 times that!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a good weekend, everyone!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11628574-6596570166719956913?l=kcluva.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kcluva.blogspot.com/feeds/6596570166719956913/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11628574&amp;postID=6596570166719956913' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11628574/posts/default/6596570166719956913'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11628574/posts/default/6596570166719956913'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kcluva.blogspot.com/2009/09/obamorons-week-in-review.html' title='Obamoron&apos;s Week in Review'/><author><name>kcluva</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05063838901049291365</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='12565208369805405096'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XKywIoVGiys/SrP0KqmCn8I/AAAAAAAAAEk/pNVJz5phAtQ/s72-c/obama15.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11628574.post-2079947601135037058</id><published>2009-09-18T14:16:00.006-04:00</published><updated>2009-09-18T15:45:49.856-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Kill the King (ok, ok, just end his reign)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XKywIoVGiys/SrPZi8hppdI/AAAAAAAAAEc/_fx060DsZpU/s1600-h/king.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XKywIoVGiys/SrPZi8hppdI/AAAAAAAAAEc/_fx060DsZpU/s320/king.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382885174023923154" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Better than you&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/why_dems_david_can_topple_goliath_ETXcM13fuBF1lLKxPKyXWN/0"&gt;This past Wednesday was the debut of the NY Post's newest columnist, Michael Goodwin.  This is the first time I have read anything by him, but he did give me a glimmer of hope (or maybe false hope) that Mike Bloomberg can be defeated this election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;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. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;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 &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;TWICE&lt;/span&gt; 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.  &lt;a href="http://kcluva.blogspot.com/2009/06/blog-post.html"&gt;And, don't you dare question that! &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;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.    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;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.  &lt;a href="http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local-beat/A-mazing-Progress-Report-for-NYC-Schools-56911632.html"&gt;The biggest joke was the Department of Education's progress report that gave A's to 85% of NYC's schools!!!&lt;/a&gt;  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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;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!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11628574-2079947601135037058?l=kcluva.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kcluva.blogspot.com/feeds/2079947601135037058/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11628574&amp;postID=2079947601135037058' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11628574/posts/default/2079947601135037058'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11628574/posts/default/2079947601135037058'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kcluva.blogspot.com/2009/09/kill-king-ok-ok-just-end-his-reign.html' title='Kill the King (ok, ok, just end his reign)'/><author><name>kcluva</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05063838901049291365</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='12565208369805405096'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XKywIoVGiys/SrPZi8hppdI/AAAAAAAAAEc/_fx060DsZpU/s72-c/king.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11628574.post-1208288613306706567</id><published>2009-09-15T12:37:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2009-09-15T14:49:03.471-04:00</updated><title type='text'>ACORN's Demise?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XKywIoVGiys/Sq_enU8PXSI/AAAAAAAAAEM/YQQrEORGJjU/s1600-h/hannah_giles--300x300.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XKywIoVGiys/Sq_enU8PXSI/AAAAAAAAAEM/YQQrEORGJjU/s320/hannah_giles--300x300.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381764846948670754" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;American Heroes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mean, who in their right mind thinks it is a good idea to:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- 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?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Turn a 1 trillion dollar deficit into a projected 12 trillion dollar deficit to "save jobs"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Have the federal government take control over entire industries?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Take the side of dictators over populations who demand free and fair elections in Iran, then Honduras?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Posing as a pimp and hooker, O'Keefe and Giles went into three (that we know of so far) different ACORN offices in &lt;a href="http://biggovernment.com/2009/09/10/chaos-for-glory/"&gt;Maryland&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://biggovernment.com/2009/09/11/washington-dc-acorn-video-child-prostitution-investigation/"&gt;Washington DC&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://biggovernment.com/2009/09/14/acorn-video-prostitution-scandal-in-new-york-ny/"&gt;Brooklyn&lt;/a&gt; (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!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!

This time it is Capricia Penavic Marshall, the Fresh Prince's  choice as chief of protocol for the State Department.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Ed Morrissey says:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2009/06/19/shocker-new-obama-appointee-has-a-tax-problem/"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one doubts that the president who gave Region 1 DVDs to the British Prime Minister as an official gift and an iPod to the Queen with his own speeches preloaded needs a Chief of Protocol — and needs one very badly.  However, can this administration pick someone — &lt;em&gt;anyone&lt;/em&gt; — who has paid their taxes properly?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What separates this one from the others is her excuse.  2005 got put in the wrong folder and 2006 got lost in the mail!  Sheesh!  A fifth-grader could come up with better excuses.  But, then again, the Obamabots take the American public for a bunch of idiots, so this should fly!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All cabinet positions go through a vetting process.  Why are they consistently not asking "did you file and pay your taxes?" to these people?  Is it because they think that only the little people pay taxes?  Liberals exempt from taxation?  Or, is it complete incompetence?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever the reason, it is an embarrassment and insulting.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11628574-1487604791314764641?l=kcluva.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kcluva.blogspot.com/feeds/1487604791314764641/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11628574&amp;postID=1487604791314764641' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11628574/posts/default/1487604791314764641'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11628574/posts/default/1487604791314764641'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kcluva.blogspot.com/2009/06/seventh-anointed-apostle-of-new-messiah.html' title='Seventh Anointed Apostle of the New Messiah with Tax Problems'/><author><name>kcluva</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05063838901049291365</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='12565208369805405096'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11628574.post-7527525095845036719</id><published>2009-06-18T16:15:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-18T16:31:33.591-04:00</updated><title type='text'>State Run Media Tryout Passes First Test: Quiet Dissent</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XKywIoVGiys/SjqhwUgkenI/AAAAAAAAAEE/lrEhqSevjL8/s1600-h/ao.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 247px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XKywIoVGiys/SjqhwUgkenI/AAAAAAAAAEE/lrEhqSevjL8/s320/ao.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348765358966995570" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Pravda 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ABC passes the first test of their mission to become the chosen State Run Network of The Chosen One.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.drudgereport.com/flashaot1.htm"&gt;Drudge reports today that ABC is now even refusing paid ads of alternative viewpoints to the Obama Healthcare Infomercial!  &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine that?

Why?  Is it because of the Hopey-Changey rhetoric during the campaign when he promised to talk to the mullahs of Iran?  Of all the promises he's broken already, he's going to stick with this one?

One thing I do know is, any people who want freedom for their own country need not come asking for help from The Chosen One.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11628574-2005444330840088328?l=kcluva.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kcluva.blogspot.com/feeds/2005444330840088328/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11628574&amp;postID=2005444330840088328' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11628574/posts/default/2005444330840088328'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11628574/posts/default/2005444330840088328'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kcluva.blogspot.com/2009/06/dictator-in-training-sides-with-expert.html' title='Dictator in Training sides with Expert Dictators'/><author><name>kcluva</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05063838901049291365</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='12565208369805405096'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XKywIoVGiys/SjfnwoeLQ2I/AAAAAAAAAD8/oADMI_XjD68/s72-c/Iranprotesters.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11628574.post-7642623159890569068</id><published>2009-06-16T09:06:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-16T09:22:49.922-04:00</updated><title type='text'>State Run Media Gets a Tryout</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XKywIoVGiys/SjecoOelcnI/AAAAAAAAAD0/vocuoJEc3jw/s1600-h/ao.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 247px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XKywIoVGiys/SjecoOelcnI/AAAAAAAAAD0/vocuoJEc3jw/s320/ao.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347915297420833394" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Drudge:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not to be outdone by the leading pro-Obama network NBC and its leading newsman who bows to The Chosen One, &lt;a href="http://drudgereport.com/flashaot.htm"&gt;ABC announced it will turn over programming to the President and his staff for a Socialized Medicine informercial.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's right, primetime news is dedicated to allowing the Fresh Prince pitch trillions of dollars in socialized healthcare spending without a minute devoted to any opposing views.

After 9/11, Rudy Giuliani would have been a landslide shoo-in for a third term as mayor.  However, the law was the law and he could not run again.  The people had spoken twice in voter referendums for term limits in New York City.  There was even a trial balloon floated that maybe Giuliani should stick around for an extra few months to continue his leadership after the terrorist attacks.  It was shot down very quickly, the public would not stand for breaking the terms limit law it was said at the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, we have a financial crisis at hand.  The economy is a disaster everywhere.  New York, especially, is in financial shambles.  It was this current crisis that Mike Bloomberg uses as a reason why we need him back for a third term.    Apparently, a financial crisis is more devastating to New York than the worst attack against Americans on US Soil.  Thank goodness we have a billionaire in office then!  He knows about money!  He'll fix things!  So, Mayor Megalomaniac turned to his buddies on the City Council to overturn the will of the people and rescind the term limits law so he can continue to feed his ego and stay on as mayor.  Not a bad deal, huh? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Picture it going down like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mayor: "Hey, you guys get to stay in power if I do and I'll make sure to throw tons of money into your campaign coffers!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Council Speaker: "Sounds like a win-win!  We all win!  We want to stay in power too!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voting Public: "Hey, wait a minute...there's a law against that, you know.  We voted for it twice!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mayor and Council Speaker: "SHUT UP!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mayor: "You people don't know what's best for you.  Remember, you used to smoke in bars and eat transfats?  I mean, if I didn't save you from yourselves, you'd all be dead now!  I know this because my health enforcer...er, commissioner said that 8 million NYC residents die of second hand smoke every week!  Silly subjects."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Council Speaker: "All those in favor of keeping their cushy jobs say 'Aye'."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Council Members: "AYE!!!!!!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, now the spoiled billionaire gets his way and is running for a third term, you know, to help us out of this financial morass we find ourselves in.  No mention of the fact that he had 8 years to propose reforms to prevent, or lessen, the impact of this crisis.  No, none of that.  He's here to save us! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This clip below is from a news conference where the Mayor tries to convince the public that things may not be as bad as it seems and we're making progress towards a recovery.  That leads to a reporter to dare ask him perhaps maybe the reason for running for a third term is not warranted after all!  The reporter soon learns that it is not prudent to question his ruler's reasoning and gets called a "disgrace" for his efforts.  Disgusting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry, Mayor Mike, you are the disgrace here!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="340" height="303"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://eplayer.clipsyndicate.com/cs_api/get_swf/2/&amp;csEnv=p&amp;wpid=0&amp;va_id=965534"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name='allowscriptaccess' value='always'&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://eplayer.clipsyndicate.com/cs_api/get_swf/2/&amp;csEnv=p&amp;wpid=0&amp;va_id=965534" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="303"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11628574-7574142496471642421?l=kcluva.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kcluva.blogspot.com/feeds/7574142496471642421/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11628574&amp;postID=7574142496471642421' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11628574/posts/default/7574142496471642421'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11628574/posts/default/7574142496471642421'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kcluva.blogspot.com/2009/06/blog-post.html' title='Mayor Megalomaniac Loses Reason for Third Term, His Temper'/><author><name>kcluva</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05063838901049291365</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='12565208369805405096'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11628574.post-3906763590426412448</id><published>2009-05-14T17:24:00.012-04:00</published><updated>2009-05-14T17:51:16.649-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Sasha and Malia's Principal Says Their Father is Selfish</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/05142009/news/nationalnews/prez_kids_principal_vouches_for_aid_169197.htm"&gt;Via the NY Post:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;"WASHINGTON -- The headmaster of the private school where President Obama sends his children pleaded with lawmakers yesterday to continue the government program that allows underprivileged students in the city to attend the exclusive school. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; "There is little question that society benefits immensely when opportunities are offered to all, not simply to some," Bruce Stewart, head of Sidwell Friends School, said yesterday during a Senate committee hearing on the decision by Obama and Democrats in Congress to kill the voucher program that has helped 1,700 DC students get into private schools. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; This puts Stewart and others testifying yesterday at stark odds with the father of Sidwell Friends' two most famous students, Sasha and Malia Obama. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; Their father decided earlier this month to allow students enrolled in the Opportunity Scholarship Program to continue with their private schooling, but to kill the program for others. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;  Stewart said he has not discussed the matter with Obama and said his school strives to avoid partisan politics. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; Asked generally what he thinks of those who would send their children to a private school but deny vouchers for those less fortunate, Stewart said, "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;It's selfish&lt;/span&gt;.

He's only covering his ass because if word got out that kids who were succeeding in the Voucher Program were being shipped back to awful DC public schools, people would see it for what it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Teacher Union Money is way more important to Democrats than poor minority kids' education.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11628574-8273673559020786669?l=kcluva.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kcluva.blogspot.com/feeds/8273673559020786669/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11628574&amp;postID=8273673559020786669' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11628574/posts/default/8273673559020786669'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11628574/posts/default/8273673559020786669'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kcluva.blogspot.com/2009/05/minority-kids-denied-same-education.html' title='Minority Kids Denied Same Education Opportunity as Sasha and Malia'/><author><name>kcluva</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05063838901049291365</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='12565208369805405096'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11628574.post-3520339798208935292</id><published>2009-05-13T15:21:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2009-05-13T15:49:31.319-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Why I Hate the Government</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XKywIoVGiys/SgskAim-mpI/AAAAAAAAADc/n1ZWf3NhhlQ/s1600-h/Bud.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 246px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XKywIoVGiys/SgskAim-mpI/AAAAAAAAADc/n1ZWf3NhhlQ/s320/Bud.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335397775259376274" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;It would be Un-American to raise taxes on this&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0509/22444.html"&gt;If you make big bucks — or enjoy alcohol, cigarettes and Coke — the government &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0509/22444.html"&gt;might hit you up to pay for fixing the nation’s health care system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Tuesday, the Senate Finance Committee peeked into vending machines and liquor stores, company payrolls and health savings accounts, looking for a mix of tax increases and spending cuts as a way to pay for a health overhaul — which could cost more than $1.5 trillion over 10 years.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, the government decides to spend enormous, unaffordable amounts on socialized health care first, then tries to come up with ways to pay for it after.  Doesn't this sound like the cause for this financial crisis?  Irresponsible people buying things first, then worrying about ways to pay for it after?

Unfortunately, there is something even more silly right behind it.  If I can keep up, I will make this a weekly post. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week's is either laughable or vomit inducing.  It is almost something you'd read in the Onion as pure satire.  But, sadly, it is not.  The author knows no shame.  I would like to think Michelle herself, would find this embarrassing, but we've seen just how much the first family enjoys their press.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, without further adieu....this week's suckup award goes to Sally Quinn of the Washington Post for her essay, &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/05/07/AR2009050704538.html?wprss=rss_print/style"&gt;The Nation's Embracing, and Embraceable Arms&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some choice quotes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Michelle Obama's arms, we determined, were transformational. Her arms are representative of a new kind of woman: young, strong, vigorous, intelligent, accomplished, sexual, powerful, embracing and, most of all, loving."&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Good Lord, have we missed anything else in the thesaurus?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Today is Mother's Day. Today we should celebrate Michelle Obama's arms as the arms of a mother."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;- &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Happy Michelle's Arms day, Mom!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Nothing could be more empowering than to see a woman with all of the attributes of Michelle Obama embrace her children the way she does."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;- No other mother can embrace her kids because they don't have Michelle's arms.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Michelle Obama happens to be physically beautiful. She is tall, regal, elegant and statuesque, and her power has been enhanced by that attractiveness." &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Yeah, maybe to liberal suckups and fellow Wookies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11628574-7168765034661541079?l=kcluva.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kcluva.blogspot.com/feeds/7168765034661541079/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11628574&amp;postID=7168765034661541079' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11628574/posts/default/7168765034661541079'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11628574/posts/default/7168765034661541079'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kcluva.blogspot.com/2009/05/biggest-suckup-of-week.html' title='Biggest Suckup of the Week'/><author><name>kcluva</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05063838901049291365</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='12565208369805405096'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XKywIoVGiys/SgsWl_QcX-I/AAAAAAAAADU/NBHz_IRx310/s72-c/wookie_arms.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11628574.post-5506294390878798799</id><published>2009-05-13T13:04:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2009-05-14T16:16:50.476-04:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Surprise Quizzes - 5 Fs</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XKywIoVGiys/SgsLPEzFh0I/AAAAAAAAADM/vzHuGU_RU4A/s1600-h/Ftest.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XKywIoVGiys/SgsLPEzFh0I/AAAAAAAAADM/vzHuGU_RU4A/s320/Ftest.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335370537164441410" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Have you seen junior's grades?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Joe Biden is not right too often, &lt;a href="http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/10/biden-to-suppor.html"&gt;but he sure was right on the money when he said the world would test our new President with the least amount of experience since John F.

Four times since the initial confrontation that was reported here in the US.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;China seems to enjoy sending fishing boats to harass unarmed US Navy surveillance ships in international waters.  Why not?  They suffer no repercussions whatsoever.  After the first incident, the US response was, “We will be developing a way forward to deal with this  diplomatically.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sheesh...is there anything these guys &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;don't&lt;/span&gt; want to have a diplomatic discussion about?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, you didn't hear about this?

You see, free speech and open debate gets in the way when you have a leftist agenda to force down our throats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess Al Gore really meant what he said when he declared the "debate is over" on Global Warming, but who know he meant that he would refuse to debate anyone over the merits of the tonic he's selling?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11628574-4252008888800089726?l=kcluva.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kcluva.blogspot.com/feeds/4252008888800089726/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11628574&amp;postID=4252008888800089726' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11628574/posts/default/4252008888800089726'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11628574/posts/default/4252008888800089726'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kcluva.blogspot.com/2009/04/clima-cryte-scam-artist-runs-and-hides.html' title='Clima-cryte Scam Artist runs and hides from debate....again'/><author><name>kcluva</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05063838901049291365</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='12565208369805405096'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XKywIoVGiys/SfIVqRg4ADI/AAAAAAAAAC8/C1YycimXK1U/s72-c/GoreBreatingFire2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11628574.post-8965657679408697373</id><published>2009-04-01T16:23:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-04-01T16:54:53.175-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Next time get her a Wii!</title><content type='html'>Other than a bottle of wine, probably the most re-gifted present at Christmas time is the iPod.  Don't get me wrong, an iPod is a great product and a thoughtful gift from a relative or boyfriend/girlfriend.  Its just that everyone already has one.  Even that old bag Queen of England has one for crying out loud!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, whoever gave the iPod to Barry, just had that passed on to the Queen of England.  I wonder who gets it for Christmas.  Will it be Will?  Harry?  Or, maybe PC (not the PC guy in the Mac commercials, Prince Charles!).  &lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1145127/The-Prince-hypocrites-Charles-embarks-16-000-mile-green-crusade--aboard-private-jet.html"&gt;He can listen to it on his private jet when he flies around the world on his Global Warming Crusade!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mandrake/5011941/Gordon-Brown-is-frustrated-by-Psycho-in-No-10.html"&gt;At least he didn't give her a box of DVDs that don't work in England!
