‘Not Fit To Lead’: GOP Rep. Rails Against Obama’s ‘Vengefulness And Lack Of Moral Compass’

Mediaite  "On the House floor on Monday, Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-OK) spoke only for a minute but squeezed in some harsh criticism of both President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden — whom he deemed “unfit” to lead. Decrying Obama’s incompetence and “lack of moral compass,” Bridenstine lamented that Biden was even worse.
"Bridenstine began with specific criticisms, many aimed at the current scandals involving the IRS and the Justice Department — as well as a nod to other controversies, such as Benghazi. In addition to Obama and Biden, he called out Attorney General Eric Holder and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius."

On Samantha Power's appointment by Obama

Samantha Power, Obama's pick as America's Ambassador to the UN, will fit right in   "Power writes of her willingness to impose solutions on the Israelis and Palestinians and that she would be willing to:

"alienat[e] a domestic constituency of tremendous political and financial import; it may more crucially mean sacrificing...billions of dollars, not in servicing Israel's military, but actually investing in the state of Palestine."

...."Ms. Power also derided concerns about Iran's nuclear weapons program in a Time magazine column, stating that it was a figment of the imagination conjured up and promoted by George Bush to gin up pressure on Iran . She counseled, what else, outreach and engagement not further pressure. She will be great at the United Nations: great for Iran, great for Hezb'llah, great for Hamas."

Loyalty Rewarded: Susan Rice and Samantha Power  "Power has what one might call a western European sensibility and attitude toward the U.S. That outlook is hardly limited to Europe, of course; it’s one that is also rampant among most of the American left. What’s more, it seems to be shared by Obama himself — although for political reasons he has rarely articulated it quite as fully and clearly as Power — the conviction that the U.S. has blood on its hands and that we, like the Germans after WWII, must go on bended knee in order to achieve a similar catharsis."

The Power Doctrine

Breaking – Strong advocate of “mea culpa” foreign policy to be nominated for U.N. Ambassador  

In 2003, Power advocated "instituting a doctrine of the mea culpa" as U.S. foreign policy. Keith Urbahn tweet 

Samantha Power, hater of Israel   "If you want to take money away from Israel and give it to Palestinians, whose charter (whether Fatah or Hamas) calls for the destruction of Israel, you clearly are anti-Israel.
"But Power didn’t just argue for a massive shift in resources from Israel to Palestinian interests. She also favored American military intervention to create a Palestinian state:"....

Samantha Power’s Five Worst Statements She gets credit for Obama's apology tour of the world.

"Power recommended that United States officials should apologize to the world for its past failures in order to enhance credibility with foreign countries."

 

Benghazi… New Source Claims Ambassador Stevens Died From Lethal Injection

DC Clothesline  "In a shocking claim, Abdallah Dhu-al-Bajadin, who has been identified by U.S. officials as a known weapons expert for al-Qaeda, said in a recent online posting that U.S. Ambassador
Chris Stevens was killed by lethal injection after a botched plan to kidnap him in Benghazi failed on September 11, 2012.

The Washington Free Beacon reports:
“…according to the March 14 posting on an al Qaeda-linked website, Abdallah Dhu-al-Bajadin, the al Qaeda weapons expert, stated that Stevens was given a lethal injection and that the injection was overlooked during the medical autopsy.
According to Dhu-al-Bajadin, “the plan was based on abduction and exchange of high-level prisoners.”
“However, the operation took another turn, for a reason God only knows, when one of the members of the jihadist cell improvised and followed Plan B,” he wrote on the prominent jihadist web forum Ansar al-Mujahideen Network.

Tips for Right-Wingers on the IRS Scandal

Doesn't this make you even just a teeeensy bit mad?

 Ann Coulter   "The IRS leaked the donor list of The National Organization for Marriage to their political opponents, the pro-gay-marriage Human Rights Campaign. This is not idle speculation: The documents had an internal IRS stamp on them. The list of names was then published on a number of liberal websites and NOM's donors were harassed.

"The IRS demanded that all members of the Coalition for Life of Iowa swear under penalty of perjury that they wouldn't pray, picket or protest outside of Planned Parenthood. They were also asked to provide details of their prayer meetings."

Audience Cheers at Ryan’s Rebuttal to McDermott

Washington Free Beacon   'I am going to deviate from my original question in response to what I just heard' 

 

"Applause rang out as Rep. Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) slammed Rep. Jim McDermott’s (D., Wash.) implication that the Tea Party and conservative organizations were responsible for their own targeting by the IRS Tuesday in the Ways & Means Committee hearing:"

IRS Agent to Pro-Life Group: ‘Please Explain in Detail the Activities at [Your] Prayer Meetings’

Yes, when I pray to our Lord, I usually check in with my local IRS office to ensure I’m not transgressing their authority by appealing to Him.  We are The Bureaucracy, and thou shalt have no other God before us.

 

Remember those death panels Democrats scoffed at? Watch them in action as we speak

HHS Secretary Sebelius Will Let 10-year old Die 

...."Look to Sarah Murnaghan for our future. Sebelius made the heartless decision to let her die.
"Sebelius ordered a review but the review will take a year and Sarah has weeks to live.
"Sebelius has an opportunity to make an exception in the lung transplant case of this 10-year old child who is weeks from death but Sebelius has declined to intervene.
"She said someone lives and someone dies:

“I would suggest, sir, that, again, this is an incredibly agonizing situation where someone lives and someone dies,” Sebelius replied. “The medical evidence and the transplant doctors who are making the rule — and have had the rule in place since 2005 making a delineation between pediatric and adult lungs, because lungs are different that other organs — that it’s based on the survivability [chances].”

"In other words, the rules of the unbending government bureaucracy take precedence. Some live, some die…"
It is indeed a hard decision that requires hard choices when the government runs healthcare. In non-government health care, family of this girl have more voice in her future.
....
"The government rules say that a child must be 12 to be placed at the top of the list to receive adult lungs and Sarah is just shy of her 11th birthday. The age is an arbitrary cutoff because younger children can receive adult lungs. The lungs would work in her case according to her doctors.

"There are far more adult lungs available than children’s lungs."
 

Did IRS Target Homebuilders on Behalf of Laborers Union?

National Legal and Policy Center  Quoting this article from Townhall: 

 Did IRS Target Homebuilders on Behalf of Mobbed-Up Union? 

Ray LaHood

“In a letter [from the Labor Department] cited by The [Wall Street] Journal,” wrote Crain’s Detroit at the time “homebuilders were asked to immediately turn over the names, addresses, Social Security numbers, pay rates and hours worked for all employees over the past two years. The letter from the Labor Department asked for the names of all contractors hired in the past year. The letter didn’t allege any specific violations of law. “
No. It was just the usual harassment that the Obama administration gives anyone when they have a disagreement with a key Obama constituency. The constituency in this case was unions that are all mobbed up. Re-write the rules, send investigators in, bury them in document discovery and government lawyers until they cave.
....
So now we have the Obama administration hooking up the Department of Labor with the IRS to join together union muscle to shakedown homebuilders, mafia style.

Supporting a Traitor: Hollywood Creates ‘I Am Bradley Manning’ Video

Newsbusters "With the start of the Bradley Manning court martial, a number of famous and not-so famous Hollywood liberals have created a video in support of their hero.
"It includes the likes of Oliver Stone, Russell Brand, Peter Sarsgaard, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Moby, Tom Morello, Wallace Shawn, and the perilously liberal so-called journalists Matt Taibbi, Phil Donahue, and Chris Hedges (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):"

.....

The video ended with Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello saying, “If you know nothing about Bradley Manning, you should find out, and then you should help me bust him out of jail.”

"Yes, let's bust a traitor out of jail, shall we?"

Judicial nomination remarks show Obama is more isolated than ever

Washington Post  "When I heard that President Obama was going to publicly announce his nominees for the D.C. Circuit Court today, I thought he would take the opportunity to show poise and make an effort to bolster his slipping presidency. I thought he would try to break out from the hand-to-hand combat in Washington and stem the growing malaise within his administration. So I was surprised that, instead, the president adopted a whiny, defensive pout. Obama would rather air his grievances with Republicans than present himself as an effective, engaged president. And no one in the White House can talk him out of it. That’s a bad sign for the president."
The writer twists the knife some more with this to which I've added emphasis:
"Recently, former President Bill Clinton was credited with — or blamed for, depending on your point of view — saying that, “Obama doesn’t know how to be president.” Today was the clearest example I’ve seen in a while that the presidency just doesn’t suit Obama."

Karma! IRS Can’t Locate Its Receipts

Washington Free Beacon  Neener neener neener!

"The IRS spent over 4 million taxpayer dollars on a conference in 2010, CNN reported Tuesday evening. The actual amount wasted is unknown because the IRS was not required to keep its receipts, something that they require taxpayers to do.
"CNN correspondent Dana Bash discussed the excesses of the agency in a report on 360, including gifts, video spoofs and upscale hotel rooms for agency higher-ups, but the cost of those and the conference itself was unclear because the IRS had engaged in poor record-keeping:"....

The Hollow Core of Obamaism

Jonah Goldberg  "One of the reasons Obama elicits so much cynicism outside his cult of personality is that many of us suspect that his rhetoric is just so much marketing for protecting the perks and expanding prerogatives of a bloated administrative state.   Real wartime governments are prone to bloat and inefficiency too, but there is at least an ethos that says there is a priority higher than protecting the interests of bureaucrats. When you see a government acting as if taxpayer concerns are a joke and a devotion to limited government is cast as something between illegitimate dissent and paranoid dementia, hearing the head of that government exhort the citizenry to shut up and fall in line is nothing short of infuriating."

Sharpton and MSNBC - perfect for each other

American Thinker  "Sharpton has a long history of racism and anti-Semitism that trails him wherever he goes, though this has been neatly excised by MSNBC, Bill Clinton and others who have found it politically useful to rub elbows with Sharpton. This has been a shameful practice - the likes of Sharpton have done harm not only to fellow African-Americans but to the nation as a whole.
