Obama, Perry, and Presidential Speech
The Obama White House is absolutely aghast, appalled, and chagrined but not over the president’s record low approval numbers or the unemployment rate. Instead, trashing about for something to distract the electorate from his monumental failures, Obama and his brain trust were all exercised ove their latest target, Texas governor and GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry and his ”inflammatory rhetoric” regarding Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.
Perry had the temerity to suggest that if the Obama-Bernanke Fed prints more inflated greenbacks over the next year or so, prior to the general election, it would almost be “treasonous.”
Speaking in Iowa while President Obama was traversing the same region on what Mitt Romney called his “magical misery bus tour,” his taxpayer-funded, non-campaign trip in a million dollar, black-shrouded, Canadian-manufactured vehicle on his quest of votes next year, Perry said of Bernanke, “If this guy prints more money between now and the election, I don’t know what y’all will do to him in Iowa, but we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas.”
Gasp!
Those statements were interpreted by Obama’s primary, global news mass media supporter, Reuters, and by the White House as “threatening.” Not incidentally, the London-based, leftist-oriented Reuters has rarely printed a negative word or article about Obama although it verily overflowed with George W. Bush invective.
Also, to clarify, the Washington-based Federal Reserve System doesn’t print money, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing does. However, the 12 Federal Reserve banks serve as America’s central banking system and the Fed is responsible for destroying currency deemed unfit for circulation, a destructive task it has lately been accomplishing in more ways than one.
Newly-announced presidential candidate Perry was speaking extemporaneously in Iowa, absent an Obamian requisite teleprompter prop, when he issued his “threat,” which is far less threatening than a teleprompter malfunction would be to the president.
No doubt, Bernanke, re-appointed as Fed chairman by Obama, would be greeted in the Lone Star State for what he is, a shill for the administration and a “one-worlder” who has little fear of inflation or deflation and has vowed not to repeat past errors of the Federal Reserve which resulted in the Great Depression even as his monetary policies are heading us in the same direction, or worse.
No reasonable observer thinks Perry was seriously suggesting Bernanke would be physically assaulted in Texas and White House Press Hack Jay Carney was engaging in typically over-reactive, hyperbolic campaign rhetoric when he chastised the governor by saying, “I certainly think threatening the Fed chairman is not a good idea. . ."

The Perils of Rick Perry
The Perils of Rick Perry
What do former President James Earl “Jimmy” Carter and current Texas Governor James Richard “Rick” Perry have in common?
Well, they’re both Protestants although Carter is a Baptist and Perry a Methodist. They’re both from the South, although Carter was a Deep Souther and Perry is a Southwesterner. They both served in the military, Carter in the Navy as a lieutenant, Perry in the Air Force as a captain. They have both been married to the same woman for a gazillion years.
As for their differences, Carter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and was a failed president and is a bigger failure in his quest for a decent legacy in his post-presidency. Carter is an unreconstructed liberal and Perry a committed conservative. Perry has been a wildly popular, successful three term governor, and he terrifies Barack Hussein Obama and the Democrats because he represents everything Obama isn’t and threatens everything they have wrought for the past 31 months.
They needn’t fear Perry since, as of now, he hasn’t declared for the Republican nomination for the presidency in 2012.
Nevertheless, true to form and recent tradition, Perry has already been the object of pre-emptive attacks by Obama’s hatchet men (and women) in the mainstream media on virtually every issue he has supported and for every value to which he subscribes.
A pro-life, fiscal and social conservative Christian, Perry opposes same-sex marriage, all of which positions would be considered more than sufficient reasons to arouse the ire of America’s pro-abortion, pro-taxation, pro-atheistic, anti-Christian Left. He compounds that ire by supporting the State of Israel, a policy anathema to liberals who favor Palestinian rights and all things Muslim.
Demonstrating an amazing hypocrisy, the Left has gone so far as to ridicule Perry based on his less than stellar undergraduate grades at Texas A&M. His transcripts were somehow obtained by one of Obama’s staunchest lackeys, the HuffingtonPost.com via an unnamed source and reputedly show he had a number of “C” and “D” grades, in addition to a few “A’s.”
HuffPo made no reference in its story on Perry’s grades to Obama’s refusal to disclose his Columbia University transcripts but did find space to print a conveniently-unsubstantiated comment by another–or the same?–source who allegedly said of Perry, “This was not the brightest guy around. We always kind of laughed. He was always kind of a joke.” (http://huff.to/qXGesb)
Perry has also been criticized for switching political parties. He was originally a Democrat and switched to Republican apparently for the same reason Ronald Reagan did. As Reagan once said, he didn’t leave the Democrat Party, it left him. That puts Rick Perry in excellent company.
However, what sticks in the liberal craw most and will no doubt be their prime future focus should he choose to run next year are not his political, social, or fiscal views, his previous party affiliation or grades. Rather, his adamantly-Christian religious views which he proudly wears on his sleeve and publicly professes from the podium will be used in an attempt to disqualify him. . .

Gov. Rick Perry, Next Leftist Target
Gov. Rick Perry, Next Leftist Target
Jay Leno and Dave Letterman either haven’t received the DNC memo with their instructions on their Rick Perry ridiculing/talking points or the Democrats haven’t yet decided how and when to draw their long knives to begin the deconstruction of the Texas governor.
Leno and Letterman barely hit the stage every night before they go on the attack against one or more of the announced and un-announced Republican candidates for president. Letterman is vacationing this week but his arch-enemy Leno is taking up the slack. On Wednesday, The Chin managed to get in no less than five “jokes” about the Republicans, two of them on Michelle Bachmann.
All the yuks are intended in good fun. of course. They joke about Obama, as well–pointing out the imbecilities of Joe Biden, who probably won’t even be on the Obama ticket next year, as if those funnies offer a cloak of even-handedness.
What a joke!
Governor Perry is so far relatively immune from the hilarity, which is surprising.
Other Obama media are taking potshots at the conservative Perry, the Huffington Post among them. For example, HuffPo calls him “Bush Two,” tipping the leftist hand’s anticipated approach to a Perry candidacy, linking him with the much-reviled former president in an obvious intent of tarring and feathering Perry with GWB’s tar and feathers.
That tactic may backfire since many polls indicate Bush 43 is now more popular than Obama One.
In an article on HumanEvents.com titled, “Gov. Rick Perry: The Candidate Obama Would Fear the Most,” Dr. Merrill Matthews, resident scholar with the Institute for Policy Innovation, speculates that, “Perry is the only one who can devastate virtually any Obama claim . . .

What To Do With an Annoying Neighbor
What To Do With an Annoying Neighbor
What do you do with an annoying neighbor? Ignore them, of course, insofar as you can.
But, what do you do with a neighbor who isn’t just annoying but who climbs over your fence? Well, ignore them the first time and after that speak sternly to them.
Yeah, fine, but what do you do if they persistently climb over your fence and poison your dog, steal your garden tools, threaten your family, and generally wreak havoc in the neighborhood? Well, short of shooting them on the spot, you could call the cops and you might consider visiting the neighbor and laying down the law.
Republican Texas Governor Rick Perry has one of those havoc-wreaking neighbors. We all do. The neighbor is Mexico where the government has demonstrated that not only can it not control its criminal elements but actually encourages its citizens to continue trespassing on our turf but provides maps, sustenance, and tips for those millions of invaders on how to evade capture by those gringos to its north.
Governor Perry wants to pay neighboring Mexico a visit–via the United States’ militar, although he couches his suggestion in politician-ese, saying on MSNBC, “I think we have to use every aspect of law enforcement that we have, including the military. I think you have the same situation as you had in Colombia.”
Then comes the politician-ese, “Obviously, Mexico has to approve any type of assistance that we can give them” and offers his rationale: “But the fact of the matter is, these are people who are highly motivated with money. They are vicious. They are armed to the teeth. I want to see them defeated. And any means that we can to run these people off our border and to save Americans’ lives we need to be engaged in.”
