Thanks (for nothing) Obama!

This next year promises to be loads of fun.  For a short time, even the people who knew that obama was a liar and a charismatic egomaniac were thinking that maybe– just maybe– he was a bright guy.  I hate to admit it, but I even suspected it for a short time right after he was elected– until I saw the trillion in ‘stimulus money’ that he wasted on pork and favors and thought to myself, ‘a smart guy would wait and make sure that the economy is coming back, before essentially using up every bit of ammunition that the country had to beef up ACORN and the teachers’ unions.  When I saw that he made no effort to follow the money at all– instead letting it go the the states so they could avoid making the proper cuts to government that are required during times of skyrocketing deficits, resulting in the loss of the stimulus money, creating the ridiculous and never-reported obama deficit of 2 TRILLION dollars this year (last year obama said that Bush’s deficit of $440 billion– less than 25% of obama’s deficit– was ‘immoral’ for the burden it placed on our children!  Anyone see a reporter anywhere??  Me neither…).  Plus, since the money was simply tossed to the states without any oversight (remember obama saying he was going to be careful with the money?  Or do you remember the web site at the ‘number’ that biden told us about, that would list all of the spending?) the states simply spent it– without any effort to reign in spending.  Many states are on the of bankruptcy.

I’m curious– since obama isn’t responsible for anything bad (and still somehow did all these good things on the days some good numbers comes out), who should the new Governor of NJ blame problems on?  Does he get to blame obama for the huge run-up in unemployment since obama took office?  It doesn’t matter actually, first because Republicans are not ‘blamers’- they understand the concept of ‘honor’– but second, even if obama himself was seen car-jacking a minivan full of jobs and driving them off a pier into the Hudson, no press would be around to mention it!

There has been a bit of fun on TV the last few days.  The new series ‘V’ shows that at least SOMEONE with a bit of creative blood understands what is going on– and the producer should get the Nobel prize for satire (if there was such a thing).  We had the elections, of course– Pelosi declared ‘we won’, making me wonder just what a ‘loss’ would look like…  But I haven’t mentioned the two most interesting stories of the past couple days.  The first is that even a couple mainstream news outlets had the guts to tell the truth about the ‘jobs created by the stimulus’.  They did what they used to do all the time– investigate the claims from the White House– and they found that the numbers were downright… silly.  So they asked the flunkie of the day to explain where the numbers came from, the flunkie explained that government workers got raises from the stimulus (how does that FEEL, by the way??), and if someone got a raise, that job was considered ‘created or saved’.  Did you hear the woman from the administration explain the logic?  I think she actually believed what she was saying!  ‘If you get a raise, then SOME of your job was created’, she said.  I wonder– did Biden come up with that one?

Then there is keith olbermann.  I get such a kick out of him and that real unattractive woman who is also on MSNBC–  rachel madow, is it?  Something like that– I know it rhymes with ‘cow’.  If you haven’t yet, go on Drudge and look at the cable numbers sometime.  What’s cool is to then turn on one of their shows– or chris matthews is another one– and their numbers are so low that you’ll see them pop up when you turn on the channel!!  Look– now it is Fox News 4 million viewers, and msnbc just went from 732 to 733 viewers!

Olbermann is the guy who would talk about the ignorance of Palin, and talk down the credentials of others while dropping the name ‘Cornell’ about his own education… never mentioning that he went to the Ag school– not the tough Ivy-league university that he wanted others to think that he attended.   Despite chatter that is much more partisan than anything on Fox, obama has yet to take them to task for claiming to be ‘news’ reporters.  Of course going by viewership he would have to go after all of the ‘waynes world’ shows coming from basements that have larger draws than MSNBC!!

Anyway, my final comment was just a chuckle over olbermann, a guy who has nothing– and I mean NOTHING– to offer.  He reminds me of the black comics of the 80′s when Richard Pryor had some truly funny things to say, with a number of ‘f’ words thrown in… then along came Eddie Murphy and other comics who had the f word and nothing else.  For a few years any black comic could just swear in a more graphic manner than the previous guy, and people would laugh… then all of a sudden it wasn’t funny.  Olbermann rode the anti-Bush derangement syndrome as far as he could, getting applause just for saying ‘bush stinks’.  But now he doesn’t have that easy ride, and he has to think of something interesting to say… and both he and that big-boned woman are at a loss for words.  At least matthews keeps trying, getting one liberal congressman after another to ‘go on the record’ (ooohh– good stuff chris!  Pretty daring!).  So now olbermann is trying desperately to ride the coattails of Fox News, who long ago forgot who the guy even IS– and surely don’t watch his show anymore!  Olbermann made some news because he has a list of America’s worst people, and he usually has some Fox people and usually has some Bush relative, or Bush himself, or Cheney… truly!  Check it out!  Olbermann made headlines for telling Beck to ‘go to hell’, to which Beck, a Fox News host who has been drawing huge numbers of viewers, said– Olbermann?  Who’s Olbermann?

Hank in there, keith– things HAVE to get better!  I mean, how much lower can your ratings go before they pull the plug, just for the sake of dignity?

I myself don’t watch TV much;  I like to read newspapers.  I do read the NYT, but not for the news–  I think the best way to gauge the true sentiment for obama is to see how deeply the NYT will cover for him.  If papers like the New York Times ever start telling the truth about obama, he is cooked.  They never will– and not just because they agree with his policies.  They know that if people really knew just what has happened– that the American people were taken in by a young, ignorant, radical black man who hates white, mainstream America (spend 10 minute listening to his hero, Rev Wright, and tell me this is not true!), that the people would turn into crazed masses capable of almost anything.  They MUST keep the American people ignorant, or there will be chaos.

Those of you who enjoy watching a true believer of the left catch himself in false logic and one lie after another, be sure to check out the page I found tonight called ‘Olbermann Watch’.  Good stuff– and it mostly is just olbermann speaking without anything extra added on!  It doesn’t even need an ‘f-word’ to make it funny!

Wow– talk about ESP!  Who just said to read the foreign news?!

TEL AVIV – President Obama’s presidential campaign focused on “making” the news media cover certain issues while rarely communicating anything to the press unless it was “controlled,” White House Communications Director Anita Dunn disclosed to the Dominican government at a videotaped conference.

“Very rarely did we communicate through the press anything that we didn’t absolutely control,” said Dunn.

“One of the reasons we did so many of the David Plouffe videos was not just for our supporters, but also because it was a way for us to get our message out without having to actually talk to reporters,” said Dunn, referring to Plouffe, who was Obama’s chief campaign manager.

“We just put that out there and made them write what Plouffe had said as opposed to Plouffe doing an interview with a reporter. So it was very much we controlled it as opposed to the press controlled it,” Dunn said.

Continued Dunn: “Whether it was a David Plouffe video or an Obama speech, a huge part of our press strategy was focused on making the media cover what Obama was actually saying as opposed to why the campaign was saying it, what the tactic was. … Making the press cover what we were saying.”

Dunn was speaking at a Jan. 12, 2009, event focusing on Obama’s media tactics and hosted by the Global Foundation for Democracy and Development, which seeks to promote collaboration between the U.S. and the Dominican Republic. The event was held in Santo Domingo and was attended by the country’s president.

Dunn has been facing some criticism since she led a White House campaign last week against Fox News, slamming the top-rated network as an “arm of the Republican Party” and “opinion journalism masquerading as news.”

Fox hit back this past Friday, releasing a video of Dunn speaking to high school last June in which she lists her two “favorite political philosophers,” including Communist Chinese leader Mao Tse-tung, whose draconian policies are blamed for the deaths of tens of millions of people.

This woman is either an idiot or she is giving a glimpse into a level of hubris that should be frightening to us all. Too hard to believe?  Then watch it yourself:
