G.W. Bush Vs. Barrack Obama and the Media Bias

I found this on a my friend Fred’s website, Admit-One.net. It speaks volumes about the obvious media bias and the incredible level of influence the American media has on the thought processes (I guess thats what one would call the thought process of anyone stupid enough to elect a community organizer president of the United States) of the inept and stupid people of America.

Virtually every point contained in the post below were headline news when GW Bush was president. But be it Obama or any other democrat in the White House and the media almost completely ignores the obvious. That would be that President Obama and his cabinet are nothing more than Captain Courageous and his Ship of Fools. JD

If George W. Bush had doubled the national debt,
which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate,
in one year, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt
again within 10 years, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had criticized a state law that he admitted he never
even read, would you think that he is just an ignorant hot head?

If George W. Bush joined the country of Mexico and sued a state in the
United States to force that state to continue to allow illegal immigration,
would you question his patriotism and wonder who’s side he was on?

If George Bush had pronounced the Marine “Corps” like Marine “Corpse”
over and over again in a speech to the Marine Corps would you think
him an idiot?

If George W. Bush had put 87,000 workers out of work
by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling
on companies that have one of the best safety records
of any industry just because one company had an accident would you
have agreed?

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a
TelePrompTer installed to be able to get through a press conference,
would you have laughed and said this is more proof
of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled
by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars of
TAXPAYER money to take Laura Bush to a play in New York City,
would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan’s holdings
of GM stock by 90%and given the unions a majority stake in GM,
would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense
of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given England’s Prime Minister, Gordon Brown,
a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVD s,
when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful
and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England
an iPod containing videos of his speeches,
would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia,
would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the nonexistent
“Austrian language,” would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers
with people who cannot seem to keep current
on their income taxes, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had stated that there were 57 states
in the United States, would you have said that he is clueless.

If George W. Bush would have flown all the way to Denmark
to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him,
would you have thought he was a self important, conceited, egotistical jerk.

If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to “Cinco de Cuatro”
in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo),
and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?

If George W. Bush had misspelled the word “advice”
would you have hammered him for it for years
like Dan Quayle and potatoes as proof of what a dunce he is?

If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel
to go plant a single tree on Earth Day,
would you have concluded he’s a hypocrite?

If George W. Bush’s administration had okay-ed Air Force One
flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter
in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic,
would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?

If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims
throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless
than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a
major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If George W. Bush had created the position of 32 Czars
who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate
on much of what is happening in America , would you have approved.

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO
of a major corporation, even though he had
no constitutional authority to do so,
would you have approved?

If the Prime Minister of America’s strongest ally, had taken George W
Bush to task, for his irresponsible declaration that his country give up
the land, that helps ensure his nations’ security from the many
surrounding enemy nations, who seek his nation’s destruction, would
you have called him an arrogant buffoon?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant
and impressive? Can’t think of anything? Don’t worry. He did all of
this in his first 28 months—so you’ll have twenty months to come
up with an answer.

Every statement in this email is factual and
directly attributable to Barrack Hussein Obama.
Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable.

Massachusetts Senate passes crackdown on illegal immigrants

With one lawmaker citing President Lincoln’s respect for the rule of law, the Massachusetts Senate passed a far-reaching crackdown this afternoon on illegal immigrants and those who would hire them, going further, senators said, than any immigration bill proposed over the past five years.

In a surprising turn of events, the legislation replaced a narrower bill that was passed Wednesday over the objections of Republicans.

The measure, which passed on a 28-10 vote as an amendment to the budget, would bar the state from doing business with any company found to break federal laws barring illegal immigrant hiring. It would also toughen penalties for creating or using fake identification documents, and explicitly deny in-state college tuition for illegal immigrants.

The amendment would also require the state’s public health insurance program to verify residency through the Department of Homeland Security, and would require the state to give legal residents priority for subsidized housing.

The amendment will now be part of negotiations with the House as part of the entire state budget.

Supporters, especially Republicans, struck patriotic notes and spoke of the sanctity of the law as they spoke on the Senate floor.

“It was President Lincoln — and I’m going to paraphrase here — who suggested that respect for the law should be preached from every pulpit taught by every mother to every child,” said Senator Bruce Tarr, a Gloucester Republican.

But one supporter said that the measure was being passed for practical purposes and would hurt people.

Senator Frederick E. Berry, a Peabody Democrat, complained that one of the Republican sponsors acted like the “Patriots had just won the Super Bowl. … I am going to vote for it, but I don’t think we ought to rejoice.”

Democrats had resisted such a sweeping proposal, but spent last evening negotiating today’s measure, shortly after a new polled showed 84 percent of the liberal-leaning state’s voters supported tough immigration rules barring state services to illegal immigrants.

Sonia Chang-Diaz, a Boston Democrat who opposed the amendment, said the measure had not been properly vetted and would add undue obligations to businesses and state government when they could ill afford it. She said it would cost the state money, while programs for children and public safety are being cut and people in her city are being shot at.

“I just don’t think this is an appropriate time to be enforcing an additional cost burden on the state, doing things that are not our job,” Chang-Diaz said.

The measure would also close what supporters say is a loophole that allows businesses to register cars under a company name, without identifying the owner by Social Security number and federal tax identification number. It would also crate a toll-free hot line for anonymous reporting of companies that employ illegal immigrants.

The measure comes weeks after immigration measures failed in the House, and amid heightened debate over illegal immigration fueled by the state’s election season and Arizona’s passage in April of the toughest immigration law in the nation.

Recent polls have found that, while voters supported blocking illegal immigrants’ access to public benefits, they were split over whether the Bay State should have a law such as Arizona’s.

Thursday’s Senate amendment would also authorize the state attorney general’s office to broker an agreement with federal authorities to help enforce immigration law. That would be a stark departure for Attorney General Martha Coakley, who has increased outreach to immigrants, encouraging them to file employment complaints, regardless of their legal status. Scores of immigrants whose bosses allegedly failed to pay their wages have turned to her for help in recent years.

The legislation also would increase penalties for driving without a license, one of the main problems facing illegal immigrants in Massachusetts. In November, a panel commissioned by Governor Deval Patrick urged him to push to grant driver’s licenses and in-state tuition for illegal immigrants, among many other recommendations. Patrick sent the recommendations to his cabinet for study and pledged to return with a proposal in 90 days, but the results have not been made public.

Most immigrants in Massachusetts are here legally, but an estimated 190,000, or 20 percent, are here illegally, according to the census.

John Paul Stevens, Now a Doddering Old Fool to Retire From Supreme Court

The timing of the news is a surprise: Stevens, 89, was expected to wait until after the Supreme Court’s oral arguments conclude this month. He will leave when the court’s term ends in June or July.

Justice John Paul Stevens, a Republican-appointed justice who emerged as a leader of the Supreme Court’s liberal wing over his 34-year tenure, announced his retirement Friday.

Stevens sent a letter to President Obama on Friday, which read: “Having concluded that it would be in the best interests of the Court to have my successor appointed and confirmed well in advance of the commencement of the Court’s next term, I shall retire from active service.”

The announcement was not a surprise, but the timing was. Stevens, 89, was widely expected to wait until after the high court’s oral arguments concluded at the end of the month. He will step down when the court’s term ends in June or July.

The White House has been preparing to fill Stevens’ vacancy for months and, according to reports, appears to be focused on three candidates: Washington, D.C.-based federal appeals court Judge Merrick Garland, 57; Solicitor General Elena Kagan, 49; and Chicago federal appeals court Judge Diane Wood, 59.

The president may have to tread more cautiously with this nomination than he did last summer, when he chose federal appeals court Judge Sonia Sotomayor for the court, because Republicans, with 41 votes in the Senate, now have the power to filibuster a controversial choice.

Obama’s New Health Care Reform Makes Doctors Medi-Care Fraud Investigators

King Xerxes Obama leader of America Funny Obama

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Monday President Obama will soon propose a health care bill that will be “much smaller” than the House bill but “big enough” to put the country on a “path” toward health care reform.

A senior administration official told Fox Obama’s proposal will be introduced Wednesday.

“In a matter of days, we will have a proposal,” Pelosi said, pointing to Obama’s forthcoming bill. “It will be a much smaller proposal than we had in the House bill, because that’s where we can gain consensus. But it will be big enough to put us on a path of affordable, quality health care for all Americans that holds insurance companies accountable.”

Melody Barnes, a top Obama domestic policy adviser, did not dispute Pelosi’s characterization of the new plan as smaller in scope – and quite possibly in cost – than either the House or Senate health care bills.

“It’s going to be matter of drawing on these different ideas and coming up with the right proposal,” Barnes said in an exclusive interview with Fox. “That’s what my colleagues are working on. That’s what they’re talking with Congress about. We’ll see what it looks like when the proposal is sent forward.”

Asked how White House staff is putting the new proposal together, Barnes said they are “borrowing” from conversations at Thursday’s health care summit.

“We’re going to be borrowing from those conversations…to come up with a bill that we hope can receive bipartisan support,” Barnes said.

When asked if White House staff, as Press Secretary Robert Gibbs indicated Friday, would work on GOP ideas for health reform over the weekend, Barnes identified two: tort reform and allowing insurers to sell policies across state lines.

“They (the summit participants) talked about medical malpractice reform and found possible areas of common ground there and so that’s something they (White House staff) will be looking at,” Barnes said. “They (summit participants) talked about purchasing insurance across state lines doing that, though, in a way to make sure people are treated fairly. So, I think we’ll look towards those issues and we will be drawing upon that. The conversation that took place at Blair House was important to us, because we wanted to hear what the leadership in Congress had to say.”

Pelosi’s remarks came during an event to highlight stimulus spending in Broomfield, Colorado, a suburb of Denver. When asked how Democrats could push health care through this year, Pelosi said the following:

“Freeze the design on the bill. See what the Senate can do; it’s essential for us to know what the Senate can do,” Pelosi said. “And then we will take up the bill on the House side.”

As for the results of Thursday’s health care summit, Pelosi said:

“People said it’s theater. Theater is about 2 and half 3 hours. Seven hours is about a commitment a dedicated commitment to get a job done. I heard a few good suggestions that we may be able to work into a bill. The American people can’t wait any longer. Now we’ll see what we can incorporate into the bill.”

White House and Democratic sources hasten to add late today that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi did not mean to suggest the new plan would constitute a retreat from comprehensive health care reform.

Pelosi spokesman Nadeam Elshami said the speaker was trying to say the new Obama health care proposal would take its policy cues from the Senate health bill and the ideas Obama posted online a week ago.

Elshami did not deny Pelosi’s comments about a “much smaller” bill could fairly be interpreted as suggesting a step back from the Senate bill. Instead, Pelosi has come to regard the Senate bill itself as “much smaller” than the House bill, Elshami said.

White House officials also said Obama’s not dramatically scaling back his proposal. No one was prepared to discuss a price tag, but it appears the ballpark 10-year figure of $1 trillion remains.

The revisions, it appears, will focus on adding GOP ideas on tort reform and selling insurance across state lines. White House Domestic Policy Adviser Melody Barnes spoke extensively to Fox today about White House staff dealing with these two issues over the weekend (see post below).

Democrats described inclusion of medical malpractice and selling insurance across state lines as a last-ditch effort to win Republican support. Already, White House officials and Democrats have begun to argue that bipartisanship can be defined as legislation including Republican ideas, even if Republicans unanimously vote against it.

“How Republicans vote on their ideas is up to them,” White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Monday. “Bipartisanship can’t simply be none of your ideas and all of our ideas. That’s not bipartisanship.”

Obamunists Still Willing to Push Obamacare Through Senate

Obama the clown idiot socialistIts an interesting time in politics. Americans, frustrated with the current Jimmy Carter like malaise in Washington, are lashing out like never before against the political tyranny of the Obama administration and the seemingly deaf ear that the democrats are turning toward the very people that put them in office.

All across America, the people are showing their frustration with the democrats and Obama by voting for republicans in an attempt to slow the spread of Obamunism.

Meanwhile, Obama and Nancy Pelosi continue to push health care reform, even though it is incredibly unpopular with the people. The people have been against this from the start, but the media, desperate to prop up their golden boy, kept trying to convince the people that socialized medicine was a good idea and good for Americans.

It was during the summer break in Congress when the congressmen had to go face their constituents, that the truth was learned. The people came out in droves to town hall meetings to tell their elected officials what they thought about health care reform.

The media again tried to keep Obamacare alive by first ignoring the town hall meeting melees, then ridiculing the “Tea Party” protesters by calling them “Tea Baggers” a sexual reference, claiming that these people were in the minority and their protests were “racially motivated.” Oh how quickly we forget.

Only after all of this did the American people turn out to show the democrats how angry they really were by voting out any incumbent or democrat they could.

Still, with all of the resistance from the people, Obama and Pelosi are still trying to push health care reform. As early as this morning, Obama showed his disdain of the people by saying, “We are going to move forward with or without republican support and pass this thing.”

Obama continued “If the people don’t like it, (pause for stuttering) well that’s what elections are for.” The level of arrogance displayed by Obama is what really pisses the American voter off. The guy just doesn’t get it.

This is not the Obama the people voted for. If you subtract the blacks who voted for Obama simply because he is half black, it was largely white America that elected Obama. They did so because Obama seemed like a regular Joe. Like a real person interested in the people of America.

Instead what they got the day after the election was an arrogant, pompous asshole hell bent on turning America into France.

Today as I type this, Obama and the left wing of the democratic party are planing to subjugate the American people and make an end run around the U.S. Constitution by using reconciliation to ram health care reform through the senate.

This is the same reconciliation process that the democrats in Washington today derided when the republicans under G.W. Bush were going to use it to pass their legislation back in 2005.

The hypocrisy continues to drive the democrats further into the political cellar. I am sure there is more to come. JD
