Obama: FAIL. EPIC FAIL.

The post of a Facebook friend of mine, paraphrasing and expanding on a comments from Rush Limbaugh, L. L. Brown IV:

Obama got us out of Iraq, except we’re still there. He closed GitMo, except it’s still open. He declared the war on terror over, except it isn’t. He brought transparency and ended the Cheney era of secrecy, except he didn’t. He returned accountability to government except he did the opposite and appointed more unaccountable czars than ever before. He returned us to fiscal sanity, except he has already run up more debt than every past President COMBINED. He brought the world together and used a multilateral inclusive strategy to get Europe and the global community to support our foreign policy. Except he didn’t and got less from our allies at the NATO and G-8 summits than Bush did. He ended the left-right battle and forged a centrist/ moderate path. Except he has divided the country more than ever and asked citizens to spy on each other and then e-mail him with what they find. Barack Obama lied, hope and change died.

FAIL. EPIC FAIL.

All that blaming Bush, and “failed Republican policies,” yet now that it’s his “baby” he’s seeing things for what they really are. He’s maintaining the “status quo” (a phrase he is so fond of using against the opposition) in some cases and LOSING GROUND in others.

I wonder how his efforts to quit smoking are going?

Tea Party Fort Lauderdale July 18, 2009

admin — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 20:33:26 +0000

There is a great gang of people who gather each Saturday for 1 – 3 p.m. at the corner of Oakland Park Boulevard and Federal Highway. Such comraderie there is with these Patriots. I had not been in a while, but they have faithfully been waving their signs every week.

Dottie said this week was different, though. There was a much more positive response from the passers-by than in the past. I can only hope that this means taxpayers are finally waking up to the destruction that is at our doorstep…

Here is the gang!

Tea Parties – Will the Mainstream Media Ever Get it Right?

admin — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 04:37:51 +0000

According to Joan Murray of CBS 4 Miami, ” ‘dozens’ of protesters came here to Ft. Lauderdale…”

The event was acheduled to run until 2 pm. I saw no media whatsoever until we were leaving at 1:40. Thunderstorms were rolling in, and ABC Local 10 was JUST ARRIVING. I think it is great that ”dozens” where still there when Joan Murray of CBS 4 Miami reported…after all, if she was reporting “LIVE” at 6 pm, the official party had been over for FOUR HOURS!

To be sure, I was there from 10:30 to about 1:40, and though the turnout was not as high as 4/15 there were more than “dozens” of Tea Partiers. My guess would be 1,000 – 1,300 after all was said and done.

Joan Murray of CBS 4 Miami also said “this rally is part of ‘dozens’ happening nationwide…” By all accounts from online alternative news operations, there were at least 800 going on around the nation on July 3rd, 4th and even the 5th. Some even reported upwards of 2,000.

The only thing Joan Murray of CBS 4 Miami got right is when she said: “Protestors say this really isn’t about a Democratic or Republican principle, instead it’s a non-partisan way to have their voices heard…it wasn’t the first Tea Party and it won’t be the last..” (emphasis mine)

Over to the South Florida Sun Sentinel:

Apparently their writers and editors did not watch the coverage by Joan Murray of CBS 4 Miami, otherwise they would not have printed this caption for a picture accompanying an article by Georgia East in the South Florida Sun Sentinel online article dated 5:47 PM EDT, July 4th, 2009: “This was one of many Republican-led protests against taxes, modeled after the Boston Tea Party (in spirit, anyway; there are no ships of tea to unload) demonstration against taxes keyed to the holiday.” (emphasis mine)

Really…I don’t know where these people went to journalism school, but they should demand a refund, because their money was wasted.

Have you run across similar articles/evidence of incompetence? Make sure to comment here!

Update: “JustNews.com” WPLG channel 10 states: “About 200 people gathered in Fort Lauderdale to rally against higher taxes, big government spending, and universal health care.” http://www.justnews.com/news/19950609/detail.html

Tea Party R.S.V.P. Regrets from Dignitaries and Mainstream Media

admin — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 06:09:56 +0000

Since April 15th, I have tried to digest the magnitude of what happened across the United States of America on that day. Where I was that day, it was sunny and breezy, but in other cities it was dreary, rainy, and yes – cold, sleeting and snowing (BTW, can someone tell Al Gore it is APRIL for goodness sake? Can’t some of his mad scientist friends do something about this?…but I digress…).

Oh, yeah, I was talking about April 15th. The day also known as Right-Wing-Extremist-Radical-and-dare-I-say-it-for-lack-of-political-correctness-Terrorist Tea Party Day.

THIS was no ordinary Tea Party. IF you were on the “Special Guest” list and had been invited by Fox News, and IF you had known the secret 5 digit code plus the Power Ball **Phrase that Pays**, you too could have been transported into the parallel universe in which all us conservatives came bearing AK-47′s, pipe bombs, grenade launchers, and baby bottles. The moms got the pipe bombs – they fit tidily into their diaper bags and strollers. All the men-in-black got the long guns. But you could only see the men in black if you knew the codes; the moms with diaper bags, well - we were counting on no bomb-sniffing dogs.

“…in spite of the disappointment of not having entertainment, compelling speakers and well-loved right-wing politicians in all but a few of the hundreds of locations, I would say that all 600,000+ of us had a great time.”

Just so you know how well connected we are as Extremist Radicals, we will share with you some R.S.V.P. regrets of dignitaries that were invited:

Bill Ayers: “So sorry. Bernadine and I cannot attend the soiree, because in all truth, we have not read up on bomb-making in the last several…well, you know what I mean.”
Reverend Jeremiah Wright: “H–L NO! G-d D–n tax protesters! How can I tell my flock they have hope as victims if taxpayers are onto our scam? You can be sure I will be calling Al Sharpton about this!”
Al Sharpton – Well, actually, he found out about the party from Rev. Wiright. We did not invite him because we thought his hair would make the entire crowd look TOO crazy. Here’s what he had to say: “You just waaaait… untiiiil… the maaaainstreeeeam media heeeeears… abooouuut this-ahhh! I’m calling-ahh… the ACLU-ahhh… and-ahh that-ahh Garafolohhhh…woman…whileImatit!”
Roland Burris: “Thank you for the invitation, but I cannot attend unless you folks help me get past the $1,000 mark in my campaign… Heh”
Rod Blagoyabitch: ” I think it totally disrespectful that you mis-spelled my name on the invitation, so no. I have my radio audience and my hair to attend to that day.”
Hugo Chavez: “You would be humbled by my presence, I am sure, but I am anticipating my meeting with Barry, then I have to prepare for a secret whistle stop tour of the U.S. to promote H.J. Resolution 5. You know, Barry and I – we are true soul mates.”
Margaret Sanger - In this case we got a note back from her descendents: “Thank you for the invitation, but you may not have known that Miss Margaret has passed. You will be happy to know that her legacy – Planned Parenthood - continues to weed the garden. Just ask Hillary Clinton. Our latest goal is to surpass McDonald’s in numbers served. That is why we have made a strong push toward franchising in other countries under the wings of Barack Obama.” (editors note: we will pray for Miss Margaret’s soul…oops…too late.)
Rahm “Toes” Emanuel: “F–k you! I gotta pick up my paycheck!”
Timothy “TATUS” Geithner: ” Sh-t. I am tied up with H&R Block all day the 15th. You know I had no luck with that Turbo Tax”

And of course, we truly did want to be inclusive as far as the media was concerned, but we got similar responses from CNN and CNBC:

“Sorry, all of our anchors will be heartily fulfilling their obligations to the Obama administration. After all “teabagging” is their specialty. You are on your own Fox.”

But in spite of the complete lack of the aforementioned dignitaries/luminaries/prestidigitators, and the disappointment of not having entertainment, compelling speakers and well-loved right-wing politicians in all but a few of the hundreds of locations, I would say that all 600,000+ of us had a great time.

What is next?

Well, after so many citizens missed out on the April 15th Tax Day Tea Parties because the mainstream media could not break from their fellatious activities to cover the upcoming event, I think citizens will be turning to Fox News for news and commentary about that which truly impacts their lives…oh, wait, they already have…

Other resources for upcoming events you might consider are:

The way I see it, if European Socialism is coming to us, we may as well enjoy the tea for as long as we can afford it!

Why The Tea Parties?»

Why the Tea Parties?

It does not take an MBA to look at the numbers, just simple addition and division, to know that we, as a nation are in debt up to our eyeballs, and the spending just continues. But don’t take my word for it, I think these guys have an even higher degree:

“March 31 (Bloomberg) — The U.S. government and the Federal Reserve have spent, lent or committed $12.8 trillion, an amount that approaches the value of everything produced in the country last year, to stem the longest recession since the 1930s.
New pledges from the Fed, the Treasury Department and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. include $1 trillion for the Public-Private Investment Program, designed to help investors buy distressed loans and other assets from U.S. banks. The money works out to $42,105 for every man, woman and child in the U.S. and 14 times the $899.8 billion of currency in circulation. The nation’s gross domestic product was $14.2 trillion in 2008. ”

And then there’s these figures:

“What’s your Obama debt number when you add up how much you will have to pay on interest over the course of your working career for President Obama’s 2010 budget?
Our estimates find that if you are 20 years old that plans to retire when you are 70, you will owe to President Obama $114,280.72 for the interest payments on his budget. ”

And it’s not just about citizens being directly taxed.

Other policies being considered within Obama’s $3.6 TRILLION budget for just 2010 will affect the cost of doing business for the energy sector, which costs are sure to be passed to all who purchase anything and everything. There is not a single thing you an I buy, that is not dependent on energy. Ergo, Obama’s “Cap and Tax” policy will cost us all more. This is a hidden consumer tax that many don’t consider.
