Certainly in different aspects, I believe there has been some policy uncertainty. The president’s position from going back to 2007 was, at a time when we don’t have money, it doesn’t make sense to give up trillions of dollars to keep high income tax rates the lowest they’ve been in 65 years. One argument you could say is, well, that adds uncertainty.

Ya think?

Michelle Obama in Tug of War at White House
Besides throwing the First Lady out there to improve that “likeability” thing, do you think they’re also trying to tell us something?

Barack Obama whined about PACs unduly influencing our electoral process, yet when his donors are turning their collective backs on him, he does what he criticized others for and campaigned on putting an end to.

Obama has been an outspoken critic of current campaign financing laws, in particular a Supreme Court ruling that allowed the creation of super PACs. But in the wake of the group’s anemic fundraising, made public last week, the campaign decided to change its position….

Probably the one thing that irks most about the president is his consistent habit of talking down to and scolding the American people like children and later doing the same thing he chided us all for. Come election day, people don’t forget these kind of things.

Hee hee hee…

‘She’s on the verge of a complete nervous breakdown’: Game Change trailer shows Julianne Moore’s Sarah Palin on the edge
History-revision repeated

Despite the efforts of the Democrat Party to defeat the Voting Rights Act of 1965, today they openly brag about protecting the rights of all people to vote for the candidate of their choice. However, it’s also quite clear that blacks are the only people in America who are publicly ridiculed should they not vote for candidates Democrats so authorize.

Just ask Congressional candidate Charlotte Bergmann after her appearance on Memphis’ Thaddeus Matthews radio program….

Note: This YouTube video was clearly created by someone not friendly to the Tea Party or black Republicans.

As Democrats have held almost all elected offices in the black community for more than 50 years, poverty, crime, and hopelessness has only gotten worse, can Mr. Matthews honestly say what liberals have done for black folk? Might it be just a tad disingenuous for him to blame Republicans for the plight of the Democratically-represented minority community?

No, that would take guts and Thaddeus Matthews would have to face the same small-minded humiliation he gave Ms. Bergmann.

As the days go by, the profile of the Occupier as a spoiled, narcissistic brat is continually verified in their own words….

Upsetting the Super Bowl — I couldn’t care less. This is about my life and my family. Maybe it will make some people notice.
— Lou Feldman, Occupy protester

The more they talk, the more Americans tune them out.

On what many thought would be the day that Occupy DC got evicted from McPherson Square, protesters harassed police and the Occupiers erected a “Tent of Dreams” to show their opposition to the Park Service’s expected crackdown.

Last night/tonight Oakland Police Department violently and brutally arrested peaceful protesters just trying to occupy a building for their operations. This is not okay with us.

There is so much wrong with this narcissistic thinking. They really are a joke. I had to leave some responses just to fuck with ‘em…

Yup, they finally burned the flag
The Tea Party waves the flag, the Occupiers burn it. Enough of the comparisons

In yet another ongoing attempt to divert attention to the real issue, President Obama blames Republicans and the “Do-nothing Congress” for the numerous continuing resolutions needed to avert government shutdowns. The problem is the Harry Reid-Democrat-led Senate hasn’t done their job in years.

Uh oh. They’re going “tactical”…

Tactical Briefing #25
And if they don’t listen … if they ignore us and put our demands on the back burner like they’ve done so many times before … then, with Gandhian ferocity, we’ll flashmob the streets, shut down stock exchanges, campuses, corporate headquarters and cities across the globe … we’ll make the price of doing business as usual too much to bear.

It looks like the AdBusters-Occupy brats are pleading for relevance and the police have been warned (threatened)  in advance. Should be a fun May, the Chicago way.

Over the years I’ve documented many cases of Democrats behaving badly while news accounts of their indiscretions neglected to identify their party affiliation as vigorously as they would had that person been a Republican, if at all. Kyle Keady is the latest and most glaring of examples….

The former Town Administrator for the Town of Shirley pleaded guilty to charges that he illegally recorded conversations and secretly photographed and videotaped his fellow town employees.

It gets worse from here.

The investigation revealed that on over a hundred occasions, the defendant illegally recorded conversations and secretly took video recordings of other town employees by using recording devices that included video cameras and a baby monitor. These devices were hidden in pens and a plant in various offices and rooms in Town Hall. Authorities also discovered that the defendant had taken a pen that contained a video camera and hid it in the ceiling directly above a bathroom stall in the women’s bathroom in Town Hall where he recorded numerous women. The investigation also revealed that on four occasions, he had broken into the home of one of the town employees.

The media wants to know why their subscription and ratings are down? Look into the selective non-disclosure of party affiliation in their reporting and you’ll see why. While I’ve been unable to verify Keady’s party affiliation, based on past experience, had he been a Republican (or even an independent), we’d have heard about it long ago and nationally.

High School Teacher Refuses To Accept MLK Award From Paul Ryan
Calling into question the concept of the “tolerant”, “inclusive” liberal

TSN’s Dave Hodge tried to imply Boston Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas was a “KKK” racist because he declined to participate in the White House ceremony with his Stanley Cup-winning teammates…

But when called on it, Dave Hodge did what most liberals do when caught with their foot in mouth: say they were joking and we were just too stupid to get the punchline.

January 24, 2012 — Saturday was the first-in-the-South primary for the Republican presidential hopefuls with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich coming out on top with 40.4 percent of the vote. Mitt Romney finished second with 27.8 percent and Rick Santorum received 17 percent. The race is down to the final four with the crucial state of Florida being the site of the next primary. Glenn McCall, national committeeman for the South Carolina GOP, and Bob Parks, creator of BlackandRight.com and formerly a key figure in the Massachusetts Republican Party, discuss the latest in the Republican race.

Regardless of his very irritating cable news pundit persona, Michael’s a very nice guy.

President Obama’s 2012 State of the Union address again rated at an 8th grade comprehension level on the Flesch-Kincaid readability test — the third lowest score of any State of the Union address since 1934.

Now the question should be if the Address was dumbed down so the American people could understand it or Obama could approve it?
