Thanks (for nothing) Obama!

This morning I watched tired old Meredith on the Today Show talk about the amazing turn-out at the TEA parties across our great country yesterday.  The look on her face was classic.  Was she talking about people coming out to protest Obama’s incredibly irresponsible spending, or were her hemmorrhoids acting up?

Today Clinton (man-Clinton, that is) took a couple shots at anti-government rhetoric as he spoke to commemorate the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing.   Funny, isn’t it, how the left spent eight years calling Bush II the worst things imaginable…. but when a couple middle-aged women carry placards, people REALLY get scared! 

It is telling to step back and look at the history of the left’s reaction to the TEA Party movement.  At first they tried to ignore it.  Then they tried to marginalize it– with network anchors, the Speaker of the House, and even the President of the US (sorry– it is spelled president with a small p for the next few years!), all taking shots at American citizens!  Apparently grass roots politics is only cool if the stand is against religion, against businesses, against the people who pay to support this country! 

Now that the TEA movement has become huge and the writing is on the wall, the left are in a complete tizzy.  This does not compute for them–  ordinary Americans rising up with common sense reactions to the hateful policies of our idiot in chief.  What to do?! 

One final comment…that big-boned woman from CNBC– Madcow Maddow– has been appearing everywhere lately.  I first saw her when she spoke on NBC after Palin’s speech at the Republican convention– her first National speech, when she hit it out of the park… Madcow stunned the other commentators by stuttering out a negative review.  I had never seen Madcow Maddow before then and so I didn’t know what an idiot she was, and as I listened to her I remember thinking ‘wow– what a partisan hack!’  So when I saw her on the Today show last week, I figured that her show must be on the verge of cancellation.  Why else would NBC risk looking even MORE stupid, by putting HER on the show?  Then she was on with one of those comedians- Stewart, maybe?– who have nothing funny to say now that Bush is gone…. (to clarify, they never had anything funny to say, but they could always get by with an F-bomb or an anti-Bush comment– but now they need to be funny and smart, and they are not either).   The ratings for Maddow have been pathetic for a long time, and hopefully the appearances are the beginning of the end– one last gasp at getting a few liberals to tune into her stale anti-American rambling.

All I want for Christmas in 2010 is a Republican Congress, and the retirement of Maddow.  Too much to ask for?

I only have a moment this morning but I had to share this clip…  this is a representative from the TEA party movement named Mark Williams being interviewed by a rabid nut at MSNBC.  I have a hard time understanding how anyone can sit through any of the commentary on MSNBC these days.   I can never remember the names of the hosts– I’m sure my mind is making the decision to avoid wasting energy on that task– but Rachel-something-or-other, that ‘olbermann’ dude, oh– and chris matthews.  I do remember his name, although I get him mixed up with Shepp from the 3 (or 4 or 5) stooges.

The clip speaks for itself– you decide who was listening and who was ranting:

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!
