Mah Buddy Barry aka Barack (Part One)

Mah Buddy Barry aka Barack (Part One)

Ah ain’t used to writin much but ah tries and dats da main thing right? Ah gots lotsa help with dis so don’t complane bout my speling, ok? I jest wanna share mah o-pinions an complaints about our most awesomest president.


Most people call him Barack Obama or mebbe include his middle name, Hussein, but dat just be too Muslim, if yo catch mah drift. Anyways, to me he’s just plain ol’ “Barry,” the name he used fo years befo he got uppity and went to Columbia and Hahvard with a little help from his friends and learnt about his roots like Kunta Kinte.

I can call him Barry since him, Mishelle, and his honky veep an his dago campaign manager adress me by the name mah momma gave me when they email me once or twicet a week.

Ah signed up to be on Barry’s emailing list years ago and, since den ah be most proud to say I been invited to the White House a buncha times. Well, dey wasn’t invitations, dey was “opportunitys” to be invited if ah sent him money but ah consider them pretty real, specially dose extra-special invites to Barry’s and Mishelles birthday blasts.

Ah didn’t go because ah couldnt buy presents after we spend all our food stamps on some goodies, Ha, Ha, ya know wut ah mean. Ahm a responsibble person. Ah needed what was left to feed all my kids.

Yep, ahm what dey call a forty-seven percenter cuz 47% of Amerika is on food stamps and Barry is da food stamp prez and whats wrong with dat? They ain’t stamps no more, anyway. Now dey give us a credit card thing that makes us look like we’re acshully payin for our food!

Now, I can unnerstand the prez’s Wall Street friends like Goodman Sax are pissed at him for calling dem ”fat cats” but, c’mon, dey are fat, but why is it all about the green alla time, man? The Obama emails always go back to money like when ah was sorta invited to a party jest yesterday by some beatch, Ann Marie Habershaw.

She was nice tho and she gave me some good advise. She told me to ”Choose your guest wisely” when ah send her three my bucks–which i didn’t–to enter a raffle “to go to a party for the President at George Clooney’s house.” He’s dat actor that everyone thinks is gay but ah think he’s a lyin’ hypocrit for tryin to say he’s a ninety-nine percenter and we all know he’s a stinkin zillionire!

Just today, ah gots anudder emails what sez dey will pays mah aeroplane fair, dat is if ah coughs up dat tree bucks an ah wins da contest. Ahm not gonna tho. Ah jest don’t think no grate man like Barry shoud be rafflin hisself off like dat for 3 lousy bucks!

They all seem to have this thing about dat three number. My buddy hisself sent me an email last week. He sez, “The other side thinks they can win by trashing me” and axed me to give him three to help stop that damn trashing.

Ah couldn’t figger whose been trashing . . .

Glenn Beck and "Social Justice"

Glenn Beck and "Social Justice"

Poor Glenn Beck is in hot water again and it is really Beck and not that frog he didn’t really boil a few weeks ago.

This time the Fox News commentator who, as great a conservative/libertarian/anti-progressive as he is, once again ran his mouth before fully engaging his brain on the issue of social justice and churches.

Beck touched on the problem of social justice which is not an issue involving justice for everyone in society. Beck viewed the term as a buzzword for priests, ministers, rabbis who want to effect a Communist or Nazi version of social justice.

That’s way over the top but, in Beck’s defense, it really involves misinterpreted definitions.

Take the words separately.

“Social” refers to society and everyone in that society. That would include the rich, poor, and everyone in between. “Justice” refers to fairmindedness, equity.

Combined, however, the term “social justice” takes on a whole new meaning in contemporary jargon, a meaning many on the Left interpret as sharing the wealth, as Obama said during the campaign, or wholesale re-distribution of America’s wealth, taking from the rich to share with the poor.

Obama’s favorite community activist organization, the almost-defunct ACORN, . . .

Predictable News

Predictable News

Some news items fall into the category of fully-anticipated reports passed off as if they’re real news instead of events and statements that a well-educated high school student–if there are any–could have predicted.

Examples:

A Brooklyn, N.Y. Office of ACORN Has Been Given a Pass: New York, New York, it’s a wonderful town, especially for pimps employed by Barack Obama’s favorite community organizer, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, acronym ACORN.

The videotaped sting operation conducted by conservative activists Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe last summer helped effect the decline and fall of ACORN which is now on the ropes with little government funding coming its way.

It was all unfair, I tell you, screamed ACORNers, just because they offered instructions on establishing a child prostitution ring and tax avoidance.

The Brooklyn D.A.’s office seems to agree since it has just decided to forego prosecution of those involved since Giles and O’Keefe “edited the tape to meet their agenda,” according to a D.A. source: http://bit.ly/9YUL5a

That means that the Congress of the United States somehow missed that editing and was wrong in cutting the funding and causing the virtual dissolution of the entire ACORN organization.

Don’t Believe Your Lying Eyes on the Upcoming Jobless Figures: They will be released on Friday and to cushion the bad news White House economic advisor Larry Summers has already pinned the blame on Mother Nature. . .

President ACORN's Memory Lapse

President ACORN’s Memory Lapse

The Looney Tune cartoon character Foghorn Leghorn’s favorite catch phrase, ”That’s a joke. . . I say, that’s a joke, son,” helped make him an amusing and endearing comic figure that the former Senator ACORN should consider emulating.

In case anyone has forgotten the identity of Senator ACORN, Van Helsing of Moonbattery.com has excavated from recent archives a brief video clip in which Senator Barack Hussein Obama proudly expounds on his close relationship with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, aka ACORN.

He accompanies it with a short clip in which President Barack Hussein Obama now claims in a flat out lie that he was never in bed with ACORN and only helped in its push for “Motor Voter” legislation: http://bit.ly/ajjFAT

Make no mistake, ACORN may have crawled back into the woodwork after being exposed as a fraud which facilitates prostitution and pedophilia and after finally being subjected to congressional scrutiny but it’s really tough to kill vermin.

They also still have President ACORN, the most influential political and financial supporter of their seditious organization, in their corner.

Van Helsing quotes from Gatewaypundit.com: . . .

Clarifications

Clarifications: Obamacare, ACORN, Adam Lambert

When you’re wrong, you’re wrong. That’s why they put erasers at one end of pencils and why newspapers feature “corrections,” admissions that they screwed up somehow.

I’m man enough to fess up to having made a few errors in the thousand or so posts on this blog and I hereby seek to rectify them, cast myself on the mercy of the reader, and beg forgiveness.

Mea maxima culpa for these gross inaccuracies on Obamacare, ACORN, and Adam Lambert:

. Obamacare: I had more than intimated in any number of articles that Obamacare would lead to rationing of health care, abuses of power, and even something akin to what Sarah Palin dubbed “Death Panels.”

Well, I was wrong and I admit it.

Foolishly, I had assumed that when Obamacare was fully implemented, (which implementation wouldn’t happen until after the 2012 election), Americans would be denied health care if D.C. bureaucrats deemed their treatment unnecessary or if they were just too damned old or sick to waste precious resources on.

I was wrong.

I wasn’t wrong in that future Obamacare assessment since the future is yet to be. I was wrong in not anticipating that America’s medical Mengeles would jump the gun and begin health rationing, power abusing, and death panelling even before Obamacare was visited upon us like the Black Plague.

As Obamacare warm ups in the wings, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has re-evaluated the recommendations of the US Preventive Services Task Force on annual breast cancer screenings via mammograms and vaginal cancer detection via pap smears.

That task force is an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, HHS.

The HHS guidelines said not to even bother with self-exams, that mammograms could wait until women are aged 50 and pap smears every two years instead of annually will be just fine and dandy. Women over 65 can skip the smears entirely in most cases: http://bit.ly/eM7qm

In the event women are already dead from breast or cervical cancer, those guidelines would be moot and our pre-Obamacare health system will have shown it’s very adept at rationing and saving tons of money.

HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius pooh-poohed the new recommendations of her own agency after it looked as if concerned women nationwide would march on Washington and string her up.

Don’t you worry your pretty, little heads about any of the above, ladies, Sebelius said in effect, and just disregard anything you’ve heard. Disregard, that is, until Obamacare mandates all those guidelines.

Another brilliant medical grinch has decreed that 74 year old George Anter, Korean vet, heart-transplant recipient, victim and survivor of various cancer attacks, is just too old and sick to receive a scarce H1N1 vaccination: http://bit.ly/7vrhJf

Why waste the precious vaccine on a sick elder? Just let him kick the ol’ bucket and delete his useless carbon footprint on the planet. He won’t know the difference between being dead or alive anyway.

. ACORN: Another instance in which I was in grievous error was thinking that ACORN, our president’s virtual arm into the bowels of poor, mostly black, disenfranchised communities, would be cast out into the wilderness after revelations that it endorsed prostitution and was engaged in multiple criminal enterprises.

I was wrong again. . . .

The Peter Principle in Action: Roland Burris

The Peter Principle in Action: Roland Burris

Deposed Illinois Governor, Hot Rod Blagojevich, may be more flamboyant than his pick to fill Barack Obama’s seat in the United States Senate but Roland Burris is almost as tainted.

Unlike Blago, Burris hasn’t been caught. Yet.

What Burris has going for him is principally the color of his skin and certainly not the content of his character.

As with Charlie Rangel in the House, his new Senate colleagues dare not mess with him unless his moral turpitude exceeds the average corruption norm, as it may finally have with Old Charlie.

Burris is a party hack, plain and simple, one of those guys who line up as per instructions from Chicago’s Daley Machine and vote early and often on election days.

He, like Al Franken, is a walking, talking exemplar of the time-proven axiom that people tend to rise to the level of their incompetence, aka, the Peter Principle.

Clearly demonstrating how out of touch with reality the guy is, Burris was one of just seven senators–all Democrats–who voted against defunding ACORN after a number of that slew of hoods was filmed giving aid and comfort to a “pimp” and a “prostitute.”

Those exposés were the icing on the ACORN malfeasants’ cake which has been overflowing for years with multiple tales of, and convictions for, voter fraud and other criminal activities as well as by ACORN’s complicity in the sub-prime mortgage scandals.

(See “Who Really Brought Freddie and Fannie Down,” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=1251)

Undismayed, Burris supported the group, along with fellow . . .

Obama's ACORN III

Obama’s ACORN III

Parts I and II of “Obama’s ACORN” dealt with our president’s pre-presidency, unseemly associations with the smarmy Association for Community Organizations for Reform Now and the group’s excursion into tax evasion, cop evasion, pimping, prostitution, and Latina pedophilia.

There’s more on ACORN’s rap sheet, much more, including its involvement in the sub-prime mortgage debacle and subsequent implosion of the banking industry.

As the waters roil around ACORN–being dumped as 2010 Census volunteers, the Senate voting 83-7 to defund the organization, and a fourth ”pimp video” surfacing, http://bit.ly/1uADKY– there’s a glimmer of hope that, finally, a full-scale congressional investigation will be launched to look into just how corrupt ACORN is.

It’s only a glimmer given Obama’s long association with the group and given the fact ACORN serves as a virtual sub-section of the ruling Democratic Party, but hope springs eternal.

One area of the group’s activities has been overshadowed by recent developments even though its involvement has cost the American taxpayer hundreds of billions of dollars.

Among its various other enterprises, ACORN maintains its own mortgage company, AHC, which touts its affiliations with the largest banks in the country. It was thanks to those affiliations, and pressures exerted on those banks that AHC contributed mightily to the collapse of the mortgage industry. . . .

Obama's ACORN II

Obama’s ACORN II
(Please see “Obama’s ACORN, the Early Days,” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=1215, which reviewed the history of the president’s involvement with that extremist, revolutionary, anti-American organization and ACORN’s inspirations, smarmy affiliations, and misuse of millions of taxpayer dollars.)

The most recent scandal surrounding ACORN represents profound testimony to the group’s hypocrisy and utter contempt for law.

By now most people have heard of its advice and instructions to two Fox News Channel investigative reporters posing as a pimp and his girlfriend/prostitute.

In brief, the poseurs, James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles, went to two ACORN offices where they were given helpful advice on avoiding taxes, evading the cops and, most reprehensibly, instructed on how to get away with trafficking in Latina child slavery.

(See videos below.)

ACORN’s “chief organizer,” Bertha Lewis, elected the best-defense-is-a-good-offense strategy and Ms. Lewis was very offensive indeed, accusing Fox of “relentless attacks,” perpetrating a “scam” and even charging the investigators with what “our lawyers believe a felony–and we will be taking legal action against Fox and their co-conspirators.”

The only attacks have been ACORN’s assaults on truth and honesty; the only scam has been ACORN’s pretense of being committed to empowerment whereas its actual purpose has been to undermine law and societal values; the chief crime has been ACORN’s very existence.

Ms. Lewis went on in her statement to comically and indignantly write, “I am appalled and angry; I cannot and I will not defend the actions of the workers depicted in the video, who have since been terminated. But it is clear that the videos are doctored, edited, and in no way the result of the fabricated story being portrayed:” http://bit.ly/YyiCb.

If I correctly follow her argument, the whole mess is a scam, the videos in question are fraudulent, yet innocent ACORN victims were nevertheless fired? . . .

Obama's ACORN, the Early Years

Obama’s ACORN: The Early Days
Mighty oaks naturally grow from tiny acorns and mighty empires can grow from little acorns as well. Those oaks may be mighty and those little acorns can foretell the disintegration of the empires they supplant.

The empire in immediate question is the Obamian Empire which was largely founded on the group known as ACORN, the Association for Community Organizations for Reform Now. ACORN’s pretentious name is actually a euphemism for an organization dedicated to destroying the American way of life as we have long known it.

Hyperbole? Read on.

Its website grandiosly declares its reputed aims: “The Real ACORN [as opposed to the false ACORN?] is a showcase for ACORN’s consistent presence as a voice for working families since 1970. It is a hub for ACORN members, leaders, and the general public to learn more about the dynamic work the organization is undertaking to win victories on issues like living wage jobs, affordable housing, health care, education, and confronting the global financial crisis.”

Grand, indeed. Showcase, indeed. Dynamic, indeed. Those adjectives only apply if one considers sedition, lies, fraud, and other criminal activities to be grand, dynamic, showcases.

Whoever wrote that ACORN blurb had either a great sense of humor or possessed a diabolic ability to malign and distort the truth.

It’s how ACORN has gone about achieving those aims that has repeatedly gotten the group into the hot waters of election fraud and voter misrepresentations, and into various criminal and civil courts in some 13 states.

In brief, ACORN stops at nothing to effect the changes in America that candidate Obama preached in very general, vague terminology. ACORN was and is Obama’s primary instrument of specificity, a specificity that reveals more about our president than he has ever revealed about himself.

Obama has had a virtual love affair with ACORN literally for decades. His reward for his romantic efforts in that affair was the presidency of the United States. Miss ACORN’s reward has been awards of Spitzer-like payments of hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer funding over the course of the liaison.

The only ones really screwed in the Obama-ACORN relationship have been those self-same taxpayers unless, that is, they were direct financial beneficiaries of the liaison in a sick sort of menage a trois with Obama and Miss ACORN.

Beneficiaries of ACORN, i.e. of taxpayer monies, include this sampling: AARP, to finance more abortion efforts; the National Urban League, to agitate for Obamacare; La Raza, to aid Mexicans in re-claiming American lands; Chicago’s Project Vote, organized by Obama to sway elections; and ACORN’s own mortgage company, to allow it to work to bring down the banking industry by pressuring banks to lend to unqualified, sub-prime mortgagors: http://bit.ly/xcktQ

After graduating from Columbia, Obama fished around for a venue in which he would be accepted and which would afford him the opportunity to properly exercise and execute his father’s Marxist precepts he had learned from his mother and which had been certified by his Columbia professors.

Voila! In 1984, he settled where else but in Chicago where corrupt politicians were notorious and where dead and non-existent people had miraculously been known to vote. . .

What's It All About, Barryyy?

What’s It All About, Barryyy?

“Curiouser and curiouser,” said Alice concerning what she was witnessing in her Wonderland. Taking Alice’s linguistic lead, I would have to say I’m “confuseder and confuseder” over what’s going on in Obamaland, formerly America.

Perhaps it’s my naïveté or just my ignorance showing but I really can’t believe all that’s gone on in five short months.

Granted, I didn’t vote for the guy and I dislike his demeanor, his personality, and his arrogant obamatude, even as he bows and scrapes and apologizes for America to foreigners. I’ve had to try to re-think my feelings about my ongoing impressions of President Obama and what he’s doing to make sure I’m not reacting personally and that I’m at least trying to be objective.

After all, I didn’t vote for Carter or Clinton, either, but I never felt this gut fury that I feel toward Obama. (For the edification of the FBI, I’m not the violent type so please don’t come knocking at my door with guns blazing. I’ll probably be sleeping.)

Clinton was just a disturbed, prevaricating overachiever and Carter was patently and dangerously inept so maybe I just cut them some slack. The current guy isn’t just a disturbed, lying overachiever nor merely dangerously inept. He’s all of the above. Combined, that makes him a singular instance in the history of the presidency, and downright frightening.

Obama was already on record as The Man Who Will Go Down as the Multi-Trillion Dollar Deficit President who spread his tentacles throughout the land to socialize American industries and nationalize the banking sector unto himself.

He is the president who announced his intent to dictate pay levels for employees of American corporations and render them supplicants of Barney Frank and the tender mercies of the federal bureaucracy.

He is the president who is crusading to deprive Americans of their right to keep and bear ammunition, thereby make their constitutional right to keep and bear arms farcical.

He is the president who is in process of anointing ACORN and its Obama-worshippers/vote-fixers as American equivalents of Oliver Cromwell who will repress White American dissidents as brutally as Cromwell destroyed the Irish.

Consider a few of his most recent statements and actions and those of his minions who are nothing more than his functionaries. All are engaged in unprecedented, national power-grabbing, transparent efforts to alter our system of government and our national defense. Some things have to be transparent with this increasingly-opaque regime.

As President Obama said to his Hollywood lackeys, “You ain’t seen nothin’, yet.” I fear we haven’t.

The IG Capers: All chief executives are entitled to appoint their own people for significant and insignificant positions in their administrations.

However, Obama has gone beyond simply appointing tax cheats and other disreputables. He tipped his repressive hand by removing all semblance of checks and balances on the executive branch by firing anyone who dares to show some courage by exposing corruption. You may stay on the payroll, was the intimation, as long as you don’t out me and my comrades.

First was Gerald Walpin, the highly regarded and eminently qualified Inspector General with purview over AmeriCorps, who was dismissed for what Obama called being “confused” and “disoriented.” Coincidentally, this followed Walpin’s investigation and allegations of improprieties against an Obama supporter, Kevin Johnson: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-tc-nw-inspectors-0617-0618jun18,0,5718990.story.

Not content with firing Walpin, Obama, acting in defiance of the law mandating 30 days notice of such firings, engaged in character assassination with his comments, which made no reference to Lady MacBeth’s Michelle’s interest and involvement with AmeriCorps: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/06/16/obama-accuses-fired-inspector-general-americorps-confused-disoriented/.

If nothing smelled rotten in the State of Obama at that point, subsequent developments did. The acting IG of the International Trade Commission, Judith Gwynne, was sent packing as was the vaunted watchdog of the trillion dollar bank bailout, Neil Barofsky, when he too got too nosey.

Curiouser and confuseder.

The ABC Caper: The American Broadcasting Network earlier this week announced it will be relocating on June 24th to the friendly confines of the Obama White House to stage a one-sided “news” presentation of Obama’s health plan. Better labelled the Obama News Network, it followed up that announcement, after protests that dissenting opinions were being crushed by the OBN, by obstinately refusing to air even a paid 60 second opposition viewpoint.

The group Conservatives for Patients Rights request for a one-minute spot to was rejected by ONN.

In a statement objecting to ONN’s decision, Rick Scott, chairman of the aptly acronymed CPR, said, “Health care is an issue that touches every American and all potential pieces of legislation have carried a pricetag in excess of $1 trillion of taxpayers’ money. The American people deserve a healthy, robust debate on this issue: “http://drudgereport.com/flashaot1.htm.

There shalt not be any robust debate, in fact no debate at all. The CPR request sounded very reasonable to me but when you’re hell-bent on forcing another unpalatable trillion dollar bill down America’s throat, apparently censorship takes precedence over reasonable.

Harry and Louise, we need you to help stop this Thelma and Louise suicidal ride off a cliff with the mad hatter at the wheel! . . .

STORIES THAT TICKLED MY FANCY

Nice work if you can get it: The Los Angeles Unified School District is hurting for money and is laying off teachers yet pays some 160 “employed” teachers to do nothing because of union agreements. Awaiting disposition of various misconduct charges ranging from “sexual contact with students, harassment, theft or drug possession . . . they collect about $10 million in salaries per year — even as the district is contemplating widespread layoffs of teachers because of a financial shortfall.” Two million dollars has already been expended in salary and legal fees on a single teacher.

Mahmoud and Bashar and Barack: Iranian President Ahmadinejad and Syrian President Assad had a little conference after which “Ahmadinejad boasted that ‘those who one day called Iran and Syria part of the axis of evil now want to develop relations with Iran and Syria. Circumstances are changing rapidly in our favor. . . We are on the road to victory.’ ” I do believe Mahmoud was referring to George W. Bush and his administration as “those.” I also believe congratulations should immediately be extended to Barack Obama for dissolving that axis of evil after barely 100 days in office.
