Obama’s Tour of Denial and Blame

Heritage  "Fortunately, the President's way is not the only way. Rather than going back to the Keynesian well and relying on the hand of government, the President and Congress should restrain government and allow entrepreneurs to thrive. That doesn't require a listening tour and placing blame. That requires being a leader and recognizing that the policies of the past two and a half years have not worked—that it's time for a new way, and a new speech."

KTVI Fox 2 Covers Black Conservative Conference

Credit Where It’s Due: KTVI Fox 2 Covers Black Conservative Conference  " MoveOnUp.org, the conference for the much persecuted black conservative, did not receive much press in its local media market of St. Louis. In fact, the organizers were attacked by the alterna-weekly right before the conference by writers who I’m told did not bother to contact the conference’s organizers for response or show up to the event to interview the people about whom they were writing."  Note the word "Fox".

KTVI Fox2 :  Move-On-Up.org Conference In St. Louis  "The first African American chairman of the St. Charles County Republican Party, Eugene Dokes credited Move-On-Up with encouraging his interest in politics and challenging him to improve his education. A Navy veteran, Dokes now runs his own real estate agency and is working on his PHD in business. He said the convention showed participants “you’re not a bad African American for being a conservative." "

Court Orders Obama Justice Department to Justify Some of Its Withholdings on Black Panther Scandal

 Judicial Watch 

 "“The Obama Justice Department is going to extraordinary lengths to make sure no more details emerge regarding the Black Panther scandal,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “We already know the Obama administration’s claim that political appointees were not involved in this decision is patently false. And now Justice Department officials continue to fight tooth and nail to stonewall the release of additional information. What else do they have to hide? This new court ruling means we may pry loose some additional information on this voter intimidation scandal.” "   Court opinion pdf

Racism at Holder Justice?  "Of course, one of the major discoveries emerging from this scandal is the Obama DOJ’s racist and preferential application of civil rights laws. And if you’d like to know more about this problem, then please read on."

Obama Justice: Will Not Investigate Radical Hispanic Group That Attacked Civil Rights Activist

What If the President Liked Businesspeople?

Victor Davis Hanson  "Such share-the-wealth tirades were matched with redistributive vendettas. Vast new financial regulations and red tape followed. A new trillion-dollar health-care entitlement was imposed on employers. The National Labor Relations Board is attempting to shut down a new Boeing aircraft plant. The federal government took over private businesses — and on occasion reversed the order of payment to private creditors. New environmental regulations have curbed energy and agricultural production. Lifelong academics and government functionaries, not businesspeople, staff the Obama Cabinet and head the administration’s agencies."

Hurricane Obama Touches Down on the Economy



The Bus Tour hits some Bumps in the Road

Bodies "Shoved Under Bus" to Stall Obama's Campaign Junket?   "Translated into honest English, the White House statement reads, “The president will advise Americans to abandon the old-school ‘Hope and Change’ loose talk from 2008, and accept reality. Its called ‘Get Used to It’ and involves coming to terms with 9% or greater unemployment forever, ungodly deficits that will take generations to retire, and a credit rating which proves that American Exceptionalism is a relic from the past.”

“The president will also advise the electorate to blame the putrid economy and lack of jobs on Republicans, S&P, and most especially, Tea Party terrorists.”

Obama's Bus tour; on the road again

Boortz: Wealth envy rhetoric continues on Presbo's Blunderbuss tour   "Remember also, while Obama talks about “millionaires and billionaires,” his proposals are to raise the taxes on every individual making over $200,000 in this country, a vast number of which are small businessmen."

Obama Tries to Spin Out of Responsibility

“What I figure is they need to spend more time out here listening to you and hearing how fed up you are. That’s why I’m here.’”

Obama On Debt: I Had A Deal That 'Would Have Solved This Problem'  Demagoguery exemplified:  "Obama continued, “I put a deal before the Speaker of the House John Boehner that would have solved this problem and he walked away because his belief was we can’t ask anything of millionaires and billionaires and big corporations in order to close our deficit.” "

On a previous outing in America: Obama Scolds Car Makers in Iowa Speech: “You Can’t Just Make Money on SUV’s and Trucks”  " In April of this year as gas prices were rising, Barack Obama told an audience that the solution was to start thinking about a trade-in. Then he was completely embarassed when he confronted a man with 8 kids."  Video.

Obama on tour: ‘I make no apologies for being reasonable’ "“You’ve got to be willing to compromise to move the country forward,” the president said later in the day as he delivered the same message at a town hall in Decorah, Iowa."

Obama: I reversed recession until 'bad luck' hit   Of course the Barney Frank housing collapse and the attacks of 9-11 were no excuse for President Bush.

Obama clashes with Tea Party member 

"Ryan Rhodes, a group leader in the Hawkeye State, stood up and shouted a question during a town hall, asking the president how he can call for more civility when "your vice president is calling people like me, a Tea Party member, a 'terrorist.'" "  “He just denied it," Rhodes told Fox News Channel's Ed Henry."

American press and Conservatives; treat 'em like suspects (Updated)

Gregory Scolds Bachmann for Listening to Public Opinion on Debt Ceiling   "On top of this, Gregory is certainly no one to point fingers about knowing the "true financial impact" of not raising the debt ceiling as he completely negected to determine that for his viewers when he interviewed treasury secretary Timothy Geithner in July.

"Maybe if the "Meet the Press" host had grilled Geithner with the same intensity he did Bachmann, the nation would have been far better informed of the "true financial impact" of such a move:"...

Naturally this from CNN: Could a black man win the GOP nomination?  "Certainly Cain has already thought about and to a small degree talked about what it means to be a black Republican running against a Democrat who also happens to be the country's first black president."

Chris Matthews: News Organizations Are 'Going to Spend Every Nickel They Have' Investigating Rick Perry   "Instead, having completely abdicated their journalistic responsibilities in order to assist the inexperienced junior senator from Illinois attain the highest office in the land, media members are now going to bring all forces to bear to discredit any serious challengers to ensure his reelection."

Newsweek's Queen of Sleaze: Tina Brown Assaults 'Crazy' Conservatives   ""The truth of the matter is that [Comedy Central's Daily Show host] Jon Stewart, at this point, is the only trusted branch of government. You know, I mean, in the end, Stewart and Colbert, really are like the Huntley and Brinkley of today, in the sense that people really, really trust them.""

-Brown on ABC's Good Morning America, October 27, 2010.

ABC, CBS and NBC Cast GOP as Debt Ceiling Villains

"...Then what happens?” The conservative author confidently predicted: “Well, the media will blame the Republicans.”

"And that’s precisely what has occurred."

 

These shows still play, so know this: 'Law and Order' Pushes Anti-Conservative Agenda  " Protestors outside the lecture hall chanted "One. two, three, four. Barlow is a right-wing whore." That's actually slightly more creative than the chants liberals usually shout. (A word that rhymes with "Hitler" is hard to find.) The lecture was disrupted when liberals in the audience started shouting over Barlow."

"Brothers [and] Sisters":  Gay man refers to Republicans as, wait for it....Neanderthals.

  "Somaiya kept to his benighted left-wing theme throughout his early coverage, even though the looters stole not basics like food but luxury items like smart phones and televisions, looting that was itself organized over social media via smart phone technology."

NY Times Reporter Suggests 'Cuts in Spending and Services' by Conservatives Led to London Riots

The NY Times says: Administration officials, frustrated by the intransigence of House Republicans, have increasingly concluded that the best thing Mr. Obama can do for the economy may be winning a second term  Hat tip: Weasel Zip

Mark Steyn on the Riots in London

Town Hall Patriots  with comment from Elephant Under Glass

"Mark, you had me at “Marinated children of dependency…”

"It’s a dirty little secret but someone had to spell it out and Mark Steyn certainly did just that. Steyn won this EUG over during his talk with Neil Cavuto this past Saturday while discussing the riots in London and the failed and wicked socialist state.

"Not sure, but I think a shiver may have just gone up my leg. (ewww!!) "

The Ames Straw Poll

Ames Straw Poll: A Little Perspective  "Michele Bachmann is a top tier candidate and popular with both evangelicals and the tea party voters. Ron Paul has a hard core group of followers who specialize in micro events because it gives them an excuse to get out of mommy's basement. Tim Pawlenty has a charisma deficit and has dropped out.

"The Ames straw poll told us all of that. But then again, we already knew all of that. So I ask again: 16 thousand folks -- what's the big deal? Or more importantly, should it really be that big of a deal, or are we just calling it a big deal because others are calling it a big deal?"

about.com

Rick Moran: Pawlenty withdraws;  "There was a time when Pawlenty was seen as the major alternative to Romney. But two lackluster debate performances and an inability to generate much enthusiasm for his candidacy in Iowa pretty much quashed that notion.

"Rick Santorum is also mulling an exit and we may hear from him later today."

Where Pawlenty went wrong   "With that said, if Pawlenty did want to be a conservative alternative to Romney, it was imperative for him to explain why Romney was insufficiently conservative."

On flash mobs and rioters

American Thinker: The Idle Poor and Sturdy Rogues   "If the riots prove anything, they prove that the failure to come to grips with the need to draw the distinction, no matter difficult that may be, between those who deserve compassion and assistance and those who do not, has proven disastrous -- a disaster the United States may see sooner rather than later."

"More than 20 young people simultaneously entered the convenience store at around 1:30 a.m., leaving with snack items such as candy, soda pop and chips, said Germantown 5th district Cmd. Luther Reynolds."

Ever wonder how flash mobs learn where to gather? I don't care to make this known, but this was found on a search of "flash mobs". And this.

How Feminism Became a Joke

Forbes  "Feminism was always based on the idea that women have it harder than men. These days, people just aren’t buying it. The stock market has gone haywire, unemployment is endemic, and some women are beginning to see that feminism’s segregationist, mollycoddling politics have done more harm than good."
