Our Pathetic, War-Mongering White House
The Obama White House may go down as the most corrupt administration since another Democrat, Lyndon Baines Johnson, sat in the Oval Office, setting all-time records for grasping, manipulative, overreaching conduct, actions which are matched by its tackiness.
Regarding the tacky, and disregarding Rep. Anthony Tweeterman Weiner in that category, the president exhibited his roots this week by raffling himself off for five bucks a chance. More specifically, by participating in a presidential sweepstakes, four lucky winners could win a dinner with the Chief Executive of the United States of America, time and locale to be determined.
Obama made the unique, limited time, offer in a campaign email to his millions of minions in which he appealed for financial assistance toward his re-election saying, in part, “We rely on everyday Americans giving whatever they can afford–and I want to spend time with a few of you. So if you make a donation today, you’ll be automatically entered for a chance to be one of the four supporters to sit down with me for dinner. Please donate $5 or more today.”
Winners will also receive free air fare and accommodations for the “casual meal among friends” and they aren’t even required to contribute, although that detail was hidden where all scammers hide their scam, in the fine print. (http://bit.ly/lFs5Mi)
The heart quickens at the prospect, the stomach churns at the vulgar tastelessness, not of the meal necessarily but of the lack of dignity and class.
Were lack of taste and class the only Obamian flaws, they could be overlooked, if not forgiven. Lord knows Americans are well acquainted with this crew’s crudeness by now.
We could even overlook the report on Politico.com that Google.com has granted “special access” to Obama’s re-election campaign, denied to Republicans, which would provide information on Googlers for the edification of Obama’s campaigners. Google claimed to Politico that it was simply an experimental program and definitely not a “special deal” accorded to Obama. (http://politi.co/iD7HK6)
Heaven forbid that Google would favor the Obamians! It’s surely just an experiment, that will be concluded on or about November 6, 2012.
However, again, as with a tacky presidential lottery, Americans can overlook Google’s anti-GOP bias since we’re so used to it. What we can’t and should never become accustomed to is this president’s usurpation of power. . .

Google This!
Google This!
“Barney Google,” the long popular comic strip, has been deceased for about 50 years or so. Some feel Google, Inc., the fabulously successful and wealthy internet search engine, should follow suit posthaste.
The reason? Strong rumors have long been afoot that Google is about as objective and unbiased as Wikipedia and regularly directs its millions of information-seekers in the direction it wants them seeking, often to politically correct, liberal-slanted search results.
Google was previously caught with its objectivity and algorithms down in searches dealing with Islam and Christianity.
When you typed in “Christianity is” on a Google search the first results included websites headed ”Christianity is bullsh*t . . . a lie” and “Christianity is absurd and stupid.” When you typed “Islam is,” the returns were historical and informational sites on that religion.
Whether Google was programmed to avoid negative references to the faith of 1.2 billion Muslims out of fear of retaliation, (remember Salman Rushdie?), is unclear but it sure seemed that way, but why would “Christianity seekers” first see derogatory websites pop up?
Also, anyone who employed Google for research on controversial subjects knows that Google recently was big into censorship of what it deemed “hate speech.” It would either re-direct the researcher to more PC websites or posted notices indicating that the sites turned up were biased.
Now Google is under renewed scrutiny in Europe. . .
