Believe it. Obama’s A Big Spender.

The Foundry  "You can see the proof for yourself in Heritage’s 2012 edition of the Federal Budget in Pictures. Of the last ten presidents, going back to John F. Kennedy, president Obama’s budget deficits as a percentage of GDP have exploded. And if you take a look at where spending is headed under President Obama’s budget, you’ll see that the country’s debt crisis just keeps getting worse. The President’s FY 2013 budget would increase the debt to 76.5 percent of GDP by 2022, despite $2 trillion in tax hikes. That’s not “fiscal restraint,” no matter how you slice it."

That's A Hot One

The Truth about President Obama’s Skyrocketing Spending  "Spending has skyrocketed under President Obama, but of late some are claiming that the opposite is true. Case in point: MarketWatch columnist Rex Nutting wrote, “Obama spending binge never happened,” andPolitifact rated this statement “mostly true.” "


Real federal deficit dwarfs official tally  "The typical American household would have paid nearly all of its income in taxes last year to balance the budget if the government used standard accounting rules to compute the deficit, a USA TODAY analysis finds." Via Boortz

CNN Fails to Refute Bogus Numbers Claiming 'Obama Spending Binge Never Happened'  "And this Investor's Business Daily piece offers another smack-down of the numbers. The editorial argues that since TARP was a loan but was included in the budget outlays, and since much of the bailout money for Fannie and Freddie was spent in 2009, spending under Bush was "exaggerated" when the TARP money was loaned out and Obama's spending hikes were blurred when the loans were paid back and the bailouts subsided.

"[W]hen you fix Nutting's mistakes, it turns out that Obama jacked up spending 12 percent in 2010, IBD argues"

Communist Party sets its hope on Obama in 2012

Communist Party USA Chair: "We Can Set In Motion Progressive Agenda Coming Out Of 2012 Election. (If It Goes Our Way)"  "Sam Web, the Communist Party USA (CPUSA ) Chairman, said to a gathering of local Communists in Arizona last year that if the 2012 election goes their way, (The re-election of President Obama) that they will have the possibility of setting the 'Progressive' Agenda. (Starts around the 2:00 Mark.)"

The Catholic Church vs the Obama administration

Last March, a letter was sent by from Archbishop Timothy Cardinal Dolan, President, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. What follows are some excerpts.
"...the White House Press Secretary, for instance, informed the nation that the mandates are a fait accompli(and, embarrassingly for him, commented that we bishops have always opposed Health Care anyway, a charge that is scurrilous and insulting, not to mention flat out wrong. Bishop Blaire did a fine job of setting the record straight.) The White House already notified Congress that the dreaded mandates are now published in the Federal Registry “without change.” "


01/31/12: Insurance decision formally declares war on religion  "Obama chose to substantially burden a religious belief, by the most intrusive means, for a less-than-compelling state purpose – a marginal increase in access to contraceptives that are easily available elsewhere."

Via Institute for Justice: Catholic dioceses, colleges sue over Obama mandate  "The lawsuits are the latest in the intensifying standoff between Roman Catholic bishops and the Obama administration during this election year."


Outrage Over 72 Hours Of Network Silence On Catholic Lawsuit Spreads To Other Christian Leaders   " Fury over the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts’ continued refusal to report the lawsuits Catholic entities have filed against the Obama administration has spread beyond the Media Research Center watchdog group and Catholic leaders to nine additional Christian leaders equally concerned about this decision to deliberately not report national news. Below are statements released by FRC’s Tony Perkins, Gary Bauer of American Values and eight more leaders."

Church of the Holy Contraception  "Perhaps the Catholic Church, which often seems to back economic "fairness" rather than market freedom, will be more sensitive to the intrusions of the state in economic choice. This episode exhibits how economic freedom is intricately tied to all other liberties. When the state creates virtual monopolies through regulatory regimes, it also gets to decide what is moral and necessary and compels everyone to act accordingly."David Harsanyi

Catholic Leaders Outraged Over Media Silence on HHS Mandate Lawsuits

More here.   And here, including this quote: 

"If there is one freedom our country has consistently cherished, it is the right to freedom of conscience: the right to act or not to act as conscience dictates. Thomas Jefferson wrote that “no provision in our Constitution ought to be dearer to man than that which protects the rights of conscience against the enterprises of civil authority.”"

Media Research Center:  Shameless Bias By Omission  "You’d think the largest legal action in American history in defense of religious liberty would be a major news story. But ABC, CBS, and NBC don’t judge news events by their inherent importance as relates to the future of our freedoms. They deliver the news according to a simple formula: Does it, or doesn’t it, advance the re-election of Barack Obama?
"If it doesn’t, it isn’t news."....

...."This is the worst example of shameless bias by omission I have seen in the quarter-century history of the Media Research Center. We recall the Chinese communists withholding from its citizenry for 20 years the news that the U.S. had landed on the moon, because it reflected poorly on their government. Never, never would the U.S. “news” media behave thusly.

Obama vote lags among Democrats in Arkansas, Kentucky primaries  "Wolfe, a Tennessee lawyer, won 42% of the vote statewide, and a majority of the vote in 36 of the 73 counties that had reported totals as of early Wednesday.

"Meanwhile, in Kentucky, just as big a percentage of Democrats voted for "Uncommitted" rather than Obama.Mitt Romney, who still faced more familiar names on the Republican ballot, won with bigger shares of the vote in both states."

Obama Campaign Organizes Blacks To Shout At And Heckle Romney As He Toured Inner-City Section Of Philadelphia…

Weasel Zippers  "Remember this the next time Obama and his surrogates argue for civility in politics."  Quoting the WaPo:  Hecklers mar Romney’s visit to inner-city charter school in Philadelphia

Seeking to broaden his appeal heading into the general election, Romney was venturing for his first time in this campaign into an impoverished black neighborhood to hear the concerns of local educators and community leaders. But here in the streets of West Philadelphia, the emotion surrounding his contest with the nation’s first black president was raw, as dozens of neighborhood residents shouted, “Get out, Romney, get out!”

Bain Capital and Godfather's Pizza; how businesses should be run

gopbriefingroom


Hermain Cain on Bain Capital: Slice to save jobs  " “When I took over Godfather’s, here’s an example — we had 725 restaurants,” Cain added. “We closed 200 to save the 525. That’s what Bain and many other companies do in order to save the business. … Sometimes you have to get smaller, then you get better, then you get bigger. It’s a principle of free enterprise.”

Cain warned that the Obama campaign’s strategy of criticizing Romney’s Bain background will not work in the long term and advised the Republican candidate to stop trying to respond to every one of President Barack Obama’s attacks regarding his time at the private-equity firm."

Genuine growth under Obama

http://deathby1000papercuts.com/2012/05/conservative-cartoon-links-may-24-2012/

Figures don't lie: Democrats do

Ann Coulter   "The theory is that a new president is stuck with the budget of his predecessor, so the entire 2009 fiscal year should be attributed to Bush. 
"But Obama didn't come in and live with the budget Bush had approved. He immediately signed off on enormous spending programs that had been specifically rejected by Bush. This included a $410 billion spending bill that Bush had refused to sign before he left office. Obama signed it on March 10, 2009. Bush had been chopping brush in Texas for two months at that point." 
....
"But all those errors pale in comparison to Nutting's counting Obama's nine-month spending binge as Bush's spending. 
"If liberals will attribute Obama's trillion-dollar stimulus bill to Bush, what won't they do?"

Time for Obama to Disavow His Campaign Workers – the Occupiers/ A video here that needs to be forwarded everywhere!

Independent Sentinel. "Reporter Wendell Goler asked an apparently very difficult question of White House Press Secretary Jay Carney yesterday: “The President has voiced support for the Occupy folks in the past. Did their actions in Chicago sour his support?" 

"He couldn’t answer it -"

"The delightful occupiers filled bottles with feces and urine to throw at people. The Black Bloc tried to rush the cops as they chanted, What do we want? Dead cops. One officer was stabbed in the leg. Mustn’t forget the domestic terrorists who threatened to firebomb [homes] including Rahm Emanuels(sic).
Also The Blaze, Chicago Sun-Times

Occupy anarcho-fascists post own video of themselves destroying SF neighborhood
"Occupy Wall Street’s mainstream defenders are trying desperately to distance themselves from the “Black Bloc” anarchists who by now have grown to become one of the largest, if not the largest, group comprising the Occupy movement. Without the anarchist Occupiers (such as the ones shown here) the movement would quickly disintegrate from lack of participants."
The video really speaks for itself.
"Send it to anyone and everyone you know who still expresses sympathy for Occupy Wall Street or who has ever accused the Tea Party of being out of the mainstream:" (Emphasis added)

Remember this from last October? Pelosi also said she supports the protesters’ message, essentially giving them Democrats’ blessing, and, seal of approval:
I believe Pelosi's words were something like "God bless the occupiers".


Also last October: The American Nazi Party released a statement in support of Occupy Wall Street movement.

UPDATED, 5/24- Hmmmm: The Illusion of Obama's Bin Laden Raid Situation Room Leadership

My first impulse was to skim this article and leave it behind because it sounded too Rosie O'Donnellish, truther-ish...birther-ish and outside the pale for most national leaders to be accused of. However Obama is not in the mold of a national leader, but rather a juvenile, narcissistic poseur who regards the presidency as a toy to play with, to break and walk away from when he outgrows it.
Before discounting this article as another silly speculation - which it may yet prove to be - consider the credentials of the author which follow the article and try to explain some of the anomalies she describes in the photos.
Following all this, I'll leave the subject to the 'truthers' who follow. TD  Via Lucianne

Via American Thinker; Mara Zebest  "Apparently, my previous article on the famous "Situation Room" photo tapped a nationwide nerve.  The response ranged from some eye-opening tips on other photos to a few perplexed criticisms as to the motivation for Photoshopping a Situation Room photo.

"The answer to that latter question can be summed up in one simple thought: To hide the truth.  Obama was out golfing while the OBL mission was unfolding, and the administration needed the Situation Room photo op for public perception -- to give the illusion that he's presidential." 

....

"Not only is the photo's legitimacy in question, but so is the narrative illusion behind it.  Obama knew of OBL's location for a year and refused to act.".... 
...."At first glance, the image overwhelms the viewer with a massive backside of Obama's jacket -- oddly oversized shoulders and arms supporting another small-head redux. Any more photos like this, and one might start speculating that Jeebs is the inspiration."....

Yet just who is standing in this spot if not Obama?

...."Conversely, if the floating hand does not match the reflected man's hand, then where in the room is the reflected man (whose hand is near the chin)?  Not to mention that the body for the floating hand has still not been accounted for...." 

Mara Zebest is a graphic artist and co-author for a number of Adobe product books, including the Inside Photoshop series, which typically exceeded 1,000 pages, published in at least ten different languages around the world.  She is also tech editor for numerous books for both Adobe and Microsoft products and has worked closely with the Cold Case Posse (CCP) for Maricopa County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) in providing evidence on Obama's forged birth certificate. (Hence her impartiality may be in doubt, wouldn't you say?)



Update:  Media Matters Unhappy with AT Report on Situation Room Photo  "The Soros-funded website run by the eccentric David Brock featured American Thinker's article yesterday on the illusion of presidential leadership in the Bin Laden raid.  Unable to actually engage the detailed analysis offered in the article, Media Matters chose to highlight an anomaly the article considered and explained was not likely to be significant. Accusing AT of making an accusation we didn't actually make. That's par for the course with this propaganda exercise which pays lavish six figure salaries to its senior staff, including Brock, who reportedly has bodyguards provided by his employer."

For Obama, Bain in the main has been a pain with no gain

Obama speaks in Marxist tongue, but majority of Americans not buying it  "Below are excerpts from actual White House transcript of President Obama’s remarks:

" “Hans Nichols. Where is Hans?” (Mr. Nichols is a reporter for Bloomberg–and this was obviously an Obama reelection campaign “planted” question.) Read the dialog here.

.... "Contrary to a few well chosen words, President Barack Obama is totally illiterate when it comes to anything having to do with “capitalism” or a “free market economy,” because he doesn’t understand the risk/return economic model or the nature of man.

"The idea of “[absolute] equality,” with “everybody in the country [having] a fair shot,” and “everybody [having equal] success,” is an impossible condition to create and sustain–because people may be equal in terms of DNA and having a soul, but that is where the equality ends.

"The free will and individualism of people, most of whom are not motivated or willing to invest, sacrifice and then usually lose, stand in the way of them taking the “shot” at “[big monetary] success.” "

Reince Priebus: Obama's Two-Front Attack on Free Enterprise  "Even Democrats recognize Obama’s distortions and have defended the Romney record."

• · Newark Mayor Cory Booker: “If you look at the totality of Bain Capital’s record, they’ve done a lot to support business, to grow businesses.”
• · Virginia Senator Mark Warner: “Bain Capital was a very successful business.”
• · Former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell: “I think [the attacks] are very disappointing.”
• · Former Obama Advisor and Car Czar Steven Rattner: “I don’t think there’s anything Bain Capital did that they need to be embarrassed about.”
• · Former Congressman Harold Ford, Jr.: “Private equity is a good thing in many, many instances.”

 Ron Radosh: How Cory Booker Deflated the Obama Team’s Main Campaign Issue
"Also left out of the picture: that one of Obama’s main bundlers is a vice-president of none other than Bain Capital who is supporting the president for re-election. Knowing this, voters should easily be able to ask the president, “Why is it OK for you to get support and money from a current executive at Bain Capital, while it was wrong for Romney to have been with the firm years earlier?” "   More here from Lucianne: How Cory Booker won:  

But, Obama is not the most popular politician in the country these days so being seen as an Obama clone is not as politically beneficial as it once was. And, Booker undoubtedly wants to make his own way — whatever race he chooses next — rather than being seen as simply following Obama’s well-trod path.

BAIN ATTACKS SPLIT PARTY, EXPOSE OBAMA'S INCOMPETENCE "Today at Politico, the left-wing site does a fairly good job of covering the blowback the Obama campaign is facing in its own party over attacks on Bain Capital, a venture capitalist firm once successfully run by Mitt Romney. After the Cory Booker fiasco on "Meet the Press," followed by the Newark Mayor's widely ridiculed "hostage video"(that was selectively-edited by Team Obama) the central issue of the Obama re-election strategy is also splitting the party writ large:"....

Thomas Lifson: More Dems dump on Obama's Bain attack  "The signs are out there for all who care to see. Don't count on ties to Obama paying big dividends next year and beyond."
