As long as we're on the subject: Thanks, Suckers

"A 48-year-old California trial lawyer has some words of wisdom for the millenials who voted for Obama at Townhall.com.  I’ll let Kurt Schlichter convey his message in his own words.

What did you get? The chance to be forced to buy health insurance you don’t want at inflated rates so my rates can be lower. You get to pay more out of your monthly barista take – liberalism ensured that the tanked job market foreclosed a real career – so that I get to pay less out of my lawyer checks. Thanks, suckers.

Obama's Latest Whopper, "Once Amnesty Passes, We Will Secure Border!" He says "trust me!"

Voice of Lillpop   "So what if amnesty ruins the American economy, the concept of rule of law, and the rich heritage of American culture and language?

"Of paramount concern to Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Dick Durbin and like moon bats is preservation of their power and Marxist agenda—and to hell with American culture and language!

"To those still considering the merits of amnesty for 11-30 million foreign invaders, remember Obama’s whopper about health care: If you like your plan, you can keep it! PERIOD!' ”

'If you like your vowels...' Pat Sajak pokes fun at Obamacare

89 WLS

 

"Move over, political pundits. Even game show hosts are stepping out to poke fun at Obamacare.
"Chicago's Pat Sajak, famed host of "Wheel of Fortune," finds the confusion regarding the Obamacare law both maddening and hilarious. After Kathleen Sebelius testified before Congress yesterday, Sajak took to his Twitter account to have some fun, cleverly relating it all to a new method of buying vowels on his show."

Pat Sajak        ✔ @patsajak      

Considering rule change for Wheel: If you like your vowels, you can keep your vowels.

 

 

Pat Sajak        ✔ @patsajak      

A lot of confusion regarding new vowel policy. Guidelines are being written and will be posted online by November 31.

Obama Secret Service Agent: “It’s Worse Than People Know… and I’m Not Trying to Scare You Either”

shtfplan  (Pictured: Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino with President Obama)

Infowars  "Dan Bongino has protected numerous Presidents over his career, including President Obama. He has been within ear-shot of many a discussion in the Oval Office, but up until this administration has stayed out of the lime light. Apparently, however, the activities of this administration are so abhorrent that he could no longer keep quiet." 

WND posts this:  "Starting his career in law enforcement with the NYPD in 1995, Bongino joined the ranks of the Secret Service in 1999 as a special agent where he was assigned to investigate financial crimes. In 2006, he entered into duty with the elite Presidential Protective Division in the administration of President George W. Bush and remained on protective duty during the change in administration to that of President Barack Obama. He resigned from the Secret Service in 2011 to run for a U.S. Senate seat in Maryland."
 

From Opposing Views: Dan Bongino Slams Obama for NSA Spying, but Not Bush   "For reasons unknown, Bongino did not mention why he didn't step forward for eight years during the Bush administration, which began the NSA spying on Americans."
Opposing views cites this open letter from Bongino"

Mr. President,
In one of your famous #Obamacare speeches you stated, “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.”

Well, as evidenced by the below letter, which my wife and I just received, you lied.
We did “like our plan” and were informed in this letter that our plan will no longer exist and we will be forced to purchase a new plan, from a website which doesn’t work, for a higher monthly premium, for services we don’t want.
 
Now, I know I am not one of your connected cronies and insiders, who were all given waivers from this disastrous piece of legislation. I was just one of the Secret Service agents who put my ass on the line for you every day, but I was still praying that given our middle-class existence, operating a small-business, that your “fundamental transformation” of America would have stayed out of our home. Apparently that is not the case as my public battle against your disastrous presidency has just become personal.

Regards,
Dan

Media Bistro; Secret Service Agent Saw White House Staff Dancing Like Seinfeld’s Elaine Umm...ok.  "When asked if there are any journalists out there who do their jobs well and don’t display the kind of biases he’s talking about, he quickly rattles off the usual suspects conservatives can compliment without frothing at the mouth: CBS’ Sharyl Attkisson, CNN’s Jake Tapper and Fox News’ Bret Baier."

AP: Obama Relies On 'Staged Propaganda Photos'; Ya Think?

IJReview  "Editors of The Associated Press have condemned the White House’s refusal to give photojournalists access to Barack Obama, who prefers, instead, to release pictures taken by his own photographers.
     "Incredibly, the AP has only been permitted to photograph Obama in the Oval Office on two occasions. Both were during his first term. All other pictures of Obama in his office were taken by paid White House photographers and distributed to the press. Here are a few of them for your viewing pleasure:
     "Many of Obama’s staged photos are meant to show us what a normal, compassionate guy he is:"...

 

Sometimes, however, an unauthorized photo gets published:

"By the way, here’s a picture of the Leader of the Free World speaking to a sixth-grade class that didn’t make the Staged Propaganda Photos cut:"

Afterthoughts on the New Jersey/ Virginia elections

Republicans mull 'what ifs' in Cuccinelli race 
"Ken Cuccinelli's suprisingly close race for Virginia governor has Tea Party Republicans steaming about a lack of support from the national party. Few Republicans in Washington gave Cuccinelli a chance in the race and most big money men kept their checkbooks closed."

 

Michael Barone; Some reflections on the Virginia and New Jersey elections
Excerpts of the full article included with each point.
1. The Obamacare rollout fiasco and Obama's lies hurt Democrats

Did Obamacare hurt? Well, the exit poll showed Virginia voters opposed rather than favored it by a 53 percent to 45 percent margin.

 2. The government shutdown didn’t much hurt Republicans.

Considering that individuals almost always poll better than groups of people—particularly Republicans (or, for that matter, Democrats) in Congress, this is a devastating result for Obama.

 3. Millennials are souring on Democrats. 

But it also suggests that McAuliffe's last-minute campaigners Hillary Clinton (born 1947), Bill Clinton (born 1946) and (the not very technologically savvy) Obama (born 1961) don't necessarily strike a resonant chord with the younger segment of Millennials (born between 1984 and 1995).

 4. Hispanics and Asians didn't rush out for Democrats. 

The New Jersey exit poll showed Christie carrying Hispanics 51 percent to 45 percent and losing heavily Hispanic (and historically hugely Democratic) Hudson County by only 55 percent to 44 percent. This is a great achievement that national Republicans need to study.

 5. Private-sector unions.

Democrat and union operatives helped Christie "rein in the outsized benefits and privileges of greedy and self-righteous public-sector unions in the state on the sensible theory that their hard-pressed members were paying for benefits far more lavish than they were getting themselves."

Ken Cuccinelli’s near miss sparks recriminations   "After Cuccinelli’s closer-than-expected loss, the defiant candidate and his supporters said the election results were only a blip on the radar of the larger conservative struggle as they blamed the defeat on Obamacare and a deluge of Democratic attack ads. Some Cuccinelli backers privately steamed that the national party did not do more to shore up Cuccinelli against Democrat Terry McAuliffe and his enormous war chest."  Jonah Goldberg agrees

The Betrayal of Ken Cuccinelli   "They said he was “unelectable.” The RNC put only $3 million into this race."

Can Christie make it on the national level?  "For all his notoriety and political acumen, neither his political nor his policy victories are directly translatable to the national stage."

 

Hitler reacts to...wait for it...the Obamacare rollout!

Western Free Press   "Love the bit about “Sandra” and the Ford Pinto!"

The Obama – Clinton Media Axis

Western Free Press  "Saving the Administration and Gearing up for 2016"

"The cozy relationship between the Democratic Party and the mainstream media made news Monday when Bill Daley, President Obama’s former Chief of Staff, signed on as a commentator with CBS News.
"Along with his fellow left-leaning media pundits, Daley has his work cut out for him. The immediate task is saving the Obama administration from the Obamacare disaster. Then he will move on with the others to pave the way for Hillary Clinton in 2016."
....
"Daley’s position at CBS is only the latest example of the revolving door that spins for Democrats. Journalists leave prominent media jobs for senior government positions; political operatives with government experience join the media."

NYT: Obama 'Misspoke' When He Lied About Keeping Your Insurance
..."Then the Times said that the fib was totally justified, since Americans had to be convinced to give up their insurance for better insurance plans under Obamacare – as though the free market does not allow people to do that already."   More here.
