THE RACIST IN CHIEF SPEAKS

President BO has insulted ALL Americans by thinking his words helped smooth over the disparaging remarks he made about the Cambridge Police Department's handling of the H. L. Gates arrest.

First he blatantly and specifically said the handling of the case was stupid.

Reinforcing President BO's position, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson called the arrest an outrageous act of racial profiling.

Later, President BO tried to assuage the situation by saying: "I want to make clear that in my choice of words, I think I unfortunately gave an impression that I was maligning the Cambridge Police Department and Sgt. Crowley specifically. And I could've calibrated those words differently."

Gave an impression? Gave an impression?

He did NOT "give an impression!"

He came right out and said it!

He said that Cambridge the police had "acted stupidly."

That is NOT giving an impression...that is coming right out and saying it.

Then he had the unmitigated gall to soften the blow by declaring it a "teachable moment."

Well, I hope he learned something from it...but I seriously doubt it.

The Racist in Chief has done everything necessary to make certain that the fires of racism continue to burn in the good old U S of A.

There was even a photograph of the handcuffed Gates being escorted off his porch amid three officers, two white and one black.

The Associated Press Filed this report:

BOB SALSBERG Associated Press Writer

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — A black police officer who was at Henry Louis Gates Jr.'s home when the black Harvard scholar was arrested says he fully supports how his white fellow officer handled the situation.Sgt. Leon Lashley says Gates was probably tired and surprised when Sgt. James Crowley demanded identification from him as officers investigated a report of a burglary.

Lashley says Gates' reaction to Crowley was "a little bit stranger than it should have been."

Asked if Gates should have been arrested, Lashley said supported Crowley "100 percent."

Gates is a perfect example of why race issues keep raising their ugly heads in this country.

He is so offended by being black that he has to draw attention to it and demean it every chance he gets…whether in the classroom, or breaking into a home.

That’s too bad, because it perpetuates racism in our society.

Try as hard as they might, white people cannot become color blind because people like Gates, Sharpton, Jackson and now President BO keep forcing the issue to the fore.

President BO has once again proven that he is nothing more than a thug, a vile of the highest order and a hate-filled racist who has put his monarchial nose where it does not by any stretch of any intelligent person's imagination belong.

DID HE OR DIDN'T HE?

Just for the record, let's answer a few questions.

Did President BO, or did he not make certain campaign promises and take certain ideological stances that spurred people on to vote for him, believing that the first black president would surely keep his word and do the things for them they expected him to on the very basis of those promises?

Let's see.

Did he, or did he not pledge to deliver a net cut in government spending?

Has he, or has he not overseen a net gain in government spending?

Did he, or did he not pledge that the American people would be able to read new bills before he signed them? Were or were not his words: "I will not sign any non-emergency bill without giving the American public an opportunity to review and comment on the White House website for five days."

Did he, or did he not promise the most transparent administration in history?

Did he, or did he not deny that he associated with America haters, Jeremiah Wright and William Aires?

Did he, or did he not promise to deliver us a world that stands as one?

Did he, or did he not state that we (his administration) had already identified $2 trillion in deficit reductions that would cut our deficit in half by the end of his first term?

Has he, or has he not at least quadrupled the "Bush deficit?"

Did he, or did he not list as some of those reductions as the result of NOT to continuing the surge in Iraq for ten more years, even though Bush ended the surge before President BO took office?

Did he, or did he not promise that the unemployment rate would not rise above 8.5% and would be brought down to below 8.5% very quickly?

Is the unemployment rate at, lower than, or higher than 8.5%?

Did he, or did he not state that he was not in favor of "big government," as so many had accused him of being?

Has he or has he not proposed a massive energy tax that would affect everybody, even those making less than his promised $250,000.00 per year?

Did he, or did he not promise to create a tax credit of $500 for workers equal 6.2 percent of up to $8,100 of earnings?

Did he, or did he not promise: "No political appointees in an Obama-Biden administration will be permitted to work on regulations or contracts directly and substantially related to their prior employer for two years. And no political appointee will be able to lobby the executive branch after leaving government service during the remainder of the administration."

Did he, or did he not promise that his administration: "Will reinvigorate antitrust enforcement...?"

Did he, or did he not promise to eliminate all income taxation of seniors making less than $50,000 per year?

Did he, or did he not promise: "During 2009 and 2010, existing businesses will receive a $3,000 refundable tax credit for each additional full-time employee hired?"

Did he, or did he not promise legislation that would allow withdrawals of 15% up to $10,000 from retirement accounts without penalty?

Did he or did he not promise: "I'm going to have all the negotiations around a big table. We'll have doctors and nurses and hospital administrators. Insurance companies, drug companies -- they'll get a seat at the table, they just won't be able to buy every chair. But what we will do is, we'll have the negotiations televised on C-SPAN, so that people can see who is making arguments on behalf of their constituents, and who are making arguments on behalf of the drug companies or the insurance companies?"

I seem to remember a president who was not re-elected on the basis of a SINGLE broken campaign promise: "Read my lips! NO NEW TAXES!" (George H. W. Bush)

So, what might be the appropriate action to take regarding someone who breaks a dozen or more direct, emphatic campaign promises?

TOO MANY THINGS TO THINK!

There are far too many thoughts running about in my head to get them all down in this blog.

Deciding what to write about has become such a chore!

Should I write about the lies President BO told in his press conference? (1-he would ask people only to “give up paying for things that don’t make you healthier.” 2-he would not sign a bill that increased the federal deficit or failed to cut health care costs. 3-declaring that his health care plan was an essential part of cutting that deficit.)

Maybe I should write about young people being forced to participate in mandatory national service programs in order to get student loans. (Is it my imagination, or does that sound Hitleresque?)

How about President BO chiming in on the arrest of a guy caught seemingly breaking into a house, who happened to be black and thus should not have even been questioned about it, let alone detained? Should I write about how NO president has ANY business weighing in on local police matters that are not of national concern?

Or I could write about Press Secretary Gibb's explanation of President BO's involvement in this issue, calling the arresting officer, "stupid": "He was not calling the officer stupid, okay?"

And my favorite Gibbsism on the subject: "I think there's a point where it becomes clear that the situation, as it was originally called in, is not the current situation..." (That's like me saying I wouldn't be as old as I am if I were just a bit younger than I am at the moment.)

Maybe I should write about how in a free society government should not be involved in the day-to-day functions of peoples' lives.

Should I write about the fact that the only jobs created so far by President BO's mighty plan have been government jobs, and most of them temporary? (I'm sure they are appreciated by those who have them, but it's a far, far cry from what His Majesty promised. Oh, wait, we still have four more years for millions of new jobs to appear.)

If I were a doctor I would be seething over President BO's statement: "Right now, doctors a lot of times are forced to make decisions based on the fee payment schedule that's out there. ... The doctor may look at the reimbursement system and say to himself, 'You know what? I make a lot more money if I take this kid's tonsils out,'" Obama told a prime-time news conference. The president added: "Now, that may be the right thing to do, but I'd rather have that doctor making those decisions just based on whether you really need your kid's tonsils out or whether it might make more sense just to change; maybe they have allergies. Maybe they have something else that would make a difference." I could write about that.

Lest you think I'm too hung up on President BO (why would you ever think that?), maybe I should point out how insufferably stupid Barbara Boxer has appeared lately...what with condescending to a black leader, poor handling of her chairmanship of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee and so on.

Well, with so many topics to garner my attention, I think the best course of action would be to just not post about anything at all.

So I will (won't).

I think.


PS: you really need to read this: GeeeeeZ today.

WILL YOU FOLLOW?

A certain man wanted to be the leader of his country.

He was a fairly articulate man, able to make his thoughts known in language the people could understand.

Although people did not know a lot about this guy, his infectious smile, expressions of concern and smooth way of getting his point across became legendary.

Economic times were tough. People were losing jobs, businesses were struggling and there was a feeling of malaise growing among the population.

But this man seemed so earnest in his desire to help them, and so persuasive with his rhetoric that many, many people considered him to be the one who would save their country from economic, political and morale collapse.

His ideas about how to help the nation learn, establish and propagate his plans were appealing.

He suggested some really intriguing policies and established some really "high" sounding bureaucracies, agencies and activities for the people.

This ambitious man had a plan to make his philosophy of government a reality, and he set about putting his plan into action.

He encouraged the formation of a youth movement to help young people feel a part of the process.

He made promises of jobs for people who had lost their jobs, security for those who had jobs, money for those who had no money and rewards for those who went along with his great plans.

Being concerned for the safety of the citizens, he instigated gun control and took weapons from the average citizen, so they would not attack and possible harm each other.

He spearheaded the destruction of pre-born life and advocated the use of embryos, fetuses and failed pregnancies, especially those of certain ethnic groups, for biological research.

His desire to have a healthy citizenry led him to promise a first rate health care system that would take care of everybody who did not exceed the government recognized viable life-span.

This ambitious man promised that all would have a living wage as long as they supported him and his political agenda.

He promised to restore respect for the nation at home and around the world, admitting the follies of the past and reaching out even to despots...in fact, embracing them.

The media helped him accomplish his goals by emphasizing how helpful they would be and by writing disparagingly about those who opposed him.

He said that he sought hope and change for the nation.

Little by little he seized control of government power, department by department, bureaucracy by bureaucracy.

The country was the most educated, the most cultured country in history. It was full of original music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities.

What sort of leader was this man?

Who was he?

His name was Adolf Hitler.

In a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency, less than six years, he was rounding up citizens, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors.

In the end, he was killing citizens who opposed him.

Aren't you glad that The United States of America has no one like that in leadership?

JUST A DISTRACTION

A great deal is being reported on our local news about the distraction caused by using a cell phone while driving.

Now, it seems, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), has issued a previously "secret" report that says even "hands-off" cell phones are a distraction and they're thinking about banning their use completely.

Check it out here

Is that so?

I wonder what else might distract drivers.

How about reaching down to press the cigarette lighter...is that distracting?

Let's ban it!


What about tuning the radio?

Let's ban it!

Makeup!

Makeup while driving has to go. Let's ban it!

Think about eating while driving.

Let's ban it!

If using a "hands-off" cell phone is distracting, what about talking to the person in the passenger seat?

Let's ban people from the passenger seat.

Kids in the back seat...now there's a distraction if there ever was one.

Ban kids from riding in the car.

Aren't pets a distraction while driving (you driving...not the pets...hopefully)?

Let's ban them!

My wife had a good idea: require every car to pull a trailer for passengers, kids and pets.

Only for most people, pulling a trailer would be distracting.

Gotta ban 'em.

You know those tiny little one-seater electric cars?

Let's ban all vehicles from the roads except them...then there won't be any distractions.

There may be a few more flattened vehicles on the road...flattened by those large simi tractor trailers that abound.

But what's a few flattened single seaters compared to all of those other distractions?

The government knows a whole lot more about what's good for us than we do.

That's for sure!

Right?

I THOUGHT HE WAS AMBITIOUS, BUT WOW!

This from Light to Israel's "Holy Land Report:

The Obama Administration has ordered Israel to halt construction of a new Jewish-owned hotel on the eastern side of Jerusalem, Israel's major radio stations reported on Sunday morning.

According to the reports, Israeli Ambassador to the U.S., Michael Oren, was summoned to the State Department on Friday, where he was told that the president wants Israel to halt construction of the Shepherd Hotel being built next to the Israel Police Headquarters on the eastern side of [Highway 1] the main road that runs north from Jerusalem's Old City.

Two other Israeli luxury hotels already stand near the site.

The direct American pressure came following complaints by Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas that the hotel was being built on land claimed by his own regime as part of its future capital.

Israeli officials responded by telling radio interviewers that the land is privately owned, and that the Israeli government is not about to start interfering in private business affairs as a result of diplomatic pressure. Nor will Israel give up its right to build wherever its sees fit in Jerusalem.
"Israel has built in Jerusalem and will continue to build in Jerusalem," said one official.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu personally weighed in on the matter at Sunday's cabinet meeting, insisting that under his government, Israel will never comply with demands that Jews stop buying land and building wherever they please in Jerusalem.

In what realm of imagination does President BO get off demanding that Israel cease construction on anything?

How did he get jurisdiction over ANY foreign country, let alone Israel?

Could it be that the Photoshopped images of President BO wearing a crown were predicting that he not only wants to be king of the United States of America, but of the entire world?

Such gall! Such bile!

Megalomania does not even come close to describing this guy's sense of self and his willingness to be in complete control of the universe.

Watch it, boys and girls.

He really is dangerous.

Please wake up.

This is no dream. Your personal future is at stake.
