Why do we have a Judicial Branch ?

O’Bozo must not know:

“I’m confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically-elected Congress and I just remind conservative commentators that for years, what we’ve heard is, the biggest problem on the bench was judicial activism or a lack of judicial restraint, that an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a dually constituted and passed law.”  (The 0’s speech 4/2/2012)

Yo, Zero, a House vote of 219 for, 210 against and a Senate vote straight down party lines is not ‘a strong majority’

P.S. 

The main purpose of the judicial branch of the government is to uphold the US Constitution. The most common activities are resolving disputes and trying cases that arise under federal law and interpreting legislation.

The Judicial Branch also performs an important function in the federal government’s system of checks and balances by using judicial review to ensure laws, executive orders, policies and treaties relevant to cases before the courts are constitutional.   Too bad Obumbler never studied the Constitution while in Haaavaaarrd….isn’t it

It’s the economy stupid!

In 1980 Ronald W. Reagan asked, “Are you better off today than you were four years ago?”   

This was after the disastrous Jimmah Carter’s (soon to be known as the white Obummer) economic policies gave us stagflation and who blamed the economic mess on the American people.

He was partly right.

They elected the buffoon so I guess the American people should have taken the blame, just like the 53% who voted for Obozo share the blame in this disastrous Oboner administration.

Always talk about the economy!

5 Latest Lies from Der-Bozo

In his latest Teleprompter reading Speech, O-Bozo again had problems finding a true word to say.

‘0’ ‘s main message to struggling motorists was: It’s not my fault, so stop whining. The speech only got worse from there, recycling excuses and myths that the Dem’s have peddled for years. But there were some standout whoppers that deserve debunking. The five biggest:of his Speach Writers were:

“We’re focused on production.”

Fact: While production is up under Zer-O, this has nothing to do with his policies, but is the result of permits and private industry efforts that began long before he and Moo-Shall occupied the White House.

O-bozo has chosen almost always to limit production. He canceled leases on federal lands in Utah, suspended them in Montana, delayed them in Colorado and Utah, and canceled lease sales off the Virginia coast.

His administration also has been slow-walking permits in the Gulf of Mexico, approving far fewer while stretching out review times, according to the Greater New Orleans Gulf Permit Index. The Energy Dept. says Gulf oil output will be down 17% by the end of 2013, compared with the start of 2011. Swift Energy President Bruce Vincent is right to say Obama has “done nothing but restrict access and delay permitting.”

“The U.S. consumes more than a fifth of the world’s oil. But we only have 2% of the world’s oil reserves.”

Fact: ‘O’ constantly refers to this statistic to buttress his claim that “we can’t drill our way to lower gas prices.” The argument goes that since the U.S. supply is limited, it won’t ever make a difference to world prices.

It’s bogus. New exploration and drilling technologies have uncovered vast amounts of recoverable oil.

In fact, the U.S. has a mind-boggling 1.4 trillion barrels of oil, enough to “fuel the present needs in the U.S. for around 250 years,” according to the Institute for Energy Research. The problem is the government has put most of this supply off limits.

“Because of the investments we’ve made, the use of clean, renewable energy in this country has nearly doubled.”

Fact: Production of renewable energy — biomass, wind, solar and the like — climbed just 12% between 2008 and 2011, according to the federal Energy Information Administration.

“We need to double-down on a clean energy industry that’s never been more promising.”

Fact: Renewable energy simply won’t play an important role in the country’s energy picture anytime soon, accounting for just 13% of U.S. energy production by 2035, according to the EIA.

“There are no short-term silver bullets when it comes to gas prices.”

Fact: Barry could drive down oil prices right now simply by announcing a more aggressive effort to boost domestic supplies. When President Bush lifted a moratorium in 2008, oil prices immediately fell $9 a barrel.

O-bummer repeated what his speech writers wrote that Americans aren’t stupid. He’s right about that, which is why most are giving his energy policy a thumbs down.

What’s in a book ?

Following days of angry protests and bloody street violence in Vatican City, Bumbl-O humbly apologized to the Pope and said it was never his administration’s intention to dishonor the holy book of Catholics and that he would be implenting harsh punishments for anyone in his chain of command found responsible.

Just kidding!  As we all know, last week O-Bozo actually told the Pope, disgruntled Catholics, and supporters of Constitutional freedom of religion to take a flying leap at a rolling doughnut.

Which is why it seems such a startling contrast to see the president making multiple apologies to screaming, violent Islamists for an incident in which military personnel in Afghanistan mistakenly burned a few copies of the Koran. Suddenly, this guy is Mister Religious Sensitivity.

And while there’s nothing wrong with an initial apology, what is with the fact that Oh-Oh is continuing to make apologies even after multiple people, including two US service members, have been killed in brutal anti-American violence.

Analysts fear that his continuing apologies are actually serving to make the violence worse by reaffirming that the incident was a big deal, while simultaneously showing his weakness instead of resolve when our troops are attacked and murdered.

But of course, even though “0” is still sending out his emissaries to attack the Catholic Church (including that fine upstanding Catholic herself, Nancy Pelosi, who is telling Catholics to ignore the Pope and instead pray for Obamacare), we never really expected him to stand up to radical Islamists.

After all, if he considers the Islamic call to prayer to be one of the prettiest sounds on Earth, he probably also enjoys the sweet sound of anti-American riots.

What would the Democratic Propaganda MachineMain Stream Media report if any of these were not uttered by the ‘smartest president ever’?

Is It Time To Break Out the Artic Underware

Way back in 2009, Bumbl-O declared that his administration, unlike that of George “Everything Is His Fault” Bush, would be about “ensuring that scientific data is never distorted or concealed to serve a political agenda — and that we make scientific decisions based on facts, not ideology.”

Which should make for some pretty interesting non-political decision making now that climate scientists have declared that there has been no global warming in the past 15 years, and we seem to possibly be entering a new mini-Ice Age owing to a downturn in solar activity. Some scientists believe that we’re in for colder temperatures, shorter growing seasons, and harsher winters for the next half-century or more.

Fortunately, the entirely non-ideological man-boy in the Whitehouse has been busily making science-based decisions to help Americans cope with the extreme cold wave heading our way. Not by allowing more fossil fuels to be mined or drilled, of course. Nor by allowing additional exploration for such fuels. And of course, he’s against pipelines which might bring much-needed oil to our refineries.

Instead he continues to dump large quantities of taxpayer money into “green” technologies which will keep us all toasty and warm…if any of them can be made to work before we freeze to death.

Oh sure, the president’s huge gamble with Solyndra went belly up in a hurry, but fortunately he’d also had the foresight to invest our tax money in Evergreen Energy - which remained robustly healthy until they’d finished spending our cash and went out of business last week.

But knowing that a “Plan A” and a “Plan B” can both fail, Mr. Obama had also funneled our money into “Plan C” - a company called Ener1 which made batteries for electric cars like the Government Motors Exploding Chevy Volt…until they declared bankruptcy last week.

In fairness, the president’s high-tech green energy investments haven’t all gone bankrupt. Amonix Inc - yet another maker of solar panels - announced that thanks to $5.9 million in stimulus funds, they were able to keep their doors open for a full seven months before laying off two thirds of their workforce last week.

With all of these shutdowns and breakdowns in the last seven days, you’d think the president would have said something in his State of the Union speech about green energy. And in fact, he did - recommitting himself to dumping billions more of our tax dollars into wind, solar, and other esoteric technologies in order to create energy sources which will definitely not cause the Earth to warm.

No matter how much we’ll wish they could.

What do you do when only Idiots are listening to you ???

You lower your speech to their level.

Or in Oblamebushforeverything’s case, get it as low as possible without saying “see Dick run.  Run, Dick, run.”

12 other Presidents over 67 years (that’s FDR till now) average a reading level of grade 10.7 for the State of the Union Address.

Obozo, the smartest president ever remember, comes out at a whopping grade 8.4.

This is the lowest score recorded, quite a drop from Chimpy’s 10.4.  It’s even lower than that other wizard (with a zipper), Slick Willie, who scored 9.5. 

I feel so enlightened.

Even his Teleprompter is getting tired of this travesty.

I guess with the State our Union is in, this should be expected.

How to tell when Congress is in Session.

Background information:

In November, 2007, the Democrats controlling the Senate were fed up with George W. Bush’s recess appointments.  Majority Leader Reid, feigning great sadness over the sorry state of our republic, resorted to the extraordinary tactic of keeping the Senate in pro-forma session so as to prevent the imperial Bush-hitler from doing an end-run around the confirmation process.

The move was celebrated by liberal commentators as a brave and necessary assertion of congressional power and was supported by the junior senator from Illinois, B. Hussein Obama.

Fast-forward to this week.

The Senate has once again been in pro-forma session in order to keep President Obama from making recess appointments.  Reid agreed to the tactic as part of negotiations with Republicans last year.

Arguing that the maneuver is nothing more than a gimmick, Obozo ignored the Senate’s authority and appointed Robert Cordray to the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which was created by the Dodd-Frank legislation allegedly to prevent the excesses that led to the financial crisis.  If it wasn’t clear enough that the appointment was nakedly political, O-zero made the announcement at a campaign rally in the swing state of Ohio, Cordray’s home state.

With the alacrity one normally associates with court jesters and royal spittoon cleaners, Reid immediately endorsed the president’s decision.

But the spectacle is so much more sordid than that.  The CFPB is a constitutional affront, the crowning achievement of this White House’s mantra of never letting a crisis go to waste.

The agency has the power to regulate any practices it deems “unfair” — primarily the practices of institutions and businesses that had nothing whatsoever to do with the financial crisis.

Indeed, it has blank-check power to write the rules it wants to enforce.  Worse, it cannot be reined in by Congress, because Dodd-Frank gave it a self-funding mechanism.  It can simply take up to 12 percent of the Federal Reserve’s operating expenses to do whatever it wants. The power of Congress is ultimately the power of the purse. But in their finite wisdom, Democratic lawmakers gelded themselves.  They also insulated the rogue agency from the courts, requiring that judges defer to the CFPB’s legal theories.

So let’s once again remind ourselves;

Republicans must follow all rules and be blamed for all problems.

Democrats do not have any rules except lie and cheat until you   win.

P.S. in case you did not know…. Senate in pro-forma sessions are legal, are binding and do actually make Senate in Session.  Therefore Obumbler did tell Congress, the Constitution and the USA to “F-off” and Dingy Harry said “Okey-Dokey” to the ‘light-skinned black with no Negro dialect, unless he wants to have one’.

Who is responsible ?

The number of officers killed in the line of duty jumped 13 percent in 2011 compared with the year before — and U.S. Attorney General  Eric Holder condemned the increase as “a devastating and unacceptable trend” that he blamed on illegal firearms.

The number of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty rose to 173 this year, from 153 in 2010, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund announced Wednesday. This year’s figure is 23 percent higher than 122 killed in the line of duty in 2009.

Holder said “too many guns have fallen into the hands of those who are not legally permitted to possess them,” in explaining the increase.

I have an idea, how about we should track down the suppliers of those guns. Let’s start with everyone connected to the Fast and Furious gun walking program.

Just shows that when you’ve gotten away with ignoring voter intimidation, and calling the US a nation of cowards, you feel like you’ll get away with anything.

Don’t fire him Obozo.  This is a ?man? you need to be closely identified with.

When will the media stop campaining and start reporting?

When three women accused Herman Cain of wrongdoing, the lame stream media immediately pronounced his candidacy dead and buried (which it was, due to their actions) without doing further digging to see if the accusations could be substantiated.

But why should they be? After all, women never lie about sex!

Except for that sleazy chick who recently claimed to be carrying Justin Bieber’s baby.

And the prostitute who claimed she was raped by the Duke lacrosse team.

And Al Sharpton’s beloved Tawana Brawley who lied about being raped by white police officers.

And of course, Juanita Broaddrick must have been lying about being raped by Bill Clinton, as were the other people who backed up her story.

But except in those isolated cases, women are incapable of lying about being violated.?.?. or was Herman Cain the victim of a media lynching?

With that in mind, it seems awfully odd that three elderly women have recently charged that they felt violated, degraded, and almost raped by TSA inspectors at JFK airport and Janet Incomp-itano has essentially said: “they’re all lying.”

Considering the presumed truthfulness of women, Napolitano’s statement seems pretty harsh - but then again the TSA is already accusing these senior citizens of looking like dangerous, radical “suicide grannies” which is a heckuva lot worse than being called a liar.

In these scary times, we’re told to look the other way when it comes to unpleasant security issues - whether it’s conducting strip searches on children or having TSA agents wave through those angry young Middle Eastern men most statistically likely to be terrorists to avoid accusations of profiling. And we’re additionally told that all this is necessary, no matter how “violating” the experience is, because we just can’t allow women (even old ones) to bring down an aircraft.

Too bad our media still makes it so easy for them to bring down a conservative presidential candidate.

Everyone who thinks…….

Everyone who thinks ‘0’bama should get a second term raise your hand

Remembering 9/11 — Libtard style

Only days ago, the Whitehouse issued “talking points” instructing politicians how to characterize the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on our country. According to that document, Americans are to be told that “we will also draw on the spirit of unity that prevailed in the immediate aftermath of the attacks.”

And just how are “The 0” and his fellow liberals demonstrating their commitment to this ideal?  By savaging and maligning their political opponents in the most partisan attacks in political memory.

Within just the past few days, Democrat Maxine Waters declared that the Tea Party can “go straight to Hell,” and Democrat congressman Andre Carson shrieked that the fiscally conservative Tea Party wants black people “hanging from a tree.”

Labor leader Jimmy Hoffa, sharing a stage with B. O., declared war on the Tea party and said that the union members were Obama’s army which will “take out the sons of bitches” opposing the president and “take” America and give it to whomever Mr. Hoffa sees fit. Apparently, part of Mr. Obama’s upcoming jobs plan will involve the unionization of leg-breakers.

The president then jutted his chin and declared that his upcoming jobs speech is actually a test to see if there are any Republicans who are “straight shooters” (“And hey, I’d like to make a special shout out to Gabby Giffords!”) who will “put country before party.” On the same day, Joe Biden addressed the AFL-CIO and declared that body to be the only ones “keeping the barbarians from the gate.”

And all of this falls hard on the heels of the multiple Democrats who labeled Republicans “terrorists” and “hostage takers” for asking for budget cuts before raising the Debt Ceiling.

So it’s really no mystery what happened to that “spirit of unity” which once, very briefly, brought Americans together in the aftermath of a terrible tragedy.

It’s been attacked savagely and repeatedly from the Left, has been engulfed in flames, and finally collapsed to the ground while the jubilant perpetrators in Washington dance and cheer.

This should not be the legacy of 9/11.

But it is the legacy that Barack Hussein Obama and his fellow travelers have chosen for all of us.

Who is responsible ….  ?

There was no end to self-adulation of Barack Obama following the raid in which Osama Bin Laden was killed. In the revelry, the brainiac that is the Vice President opened his mouth and identified those who carried out the Bin Laden raid.

“He can tell you more about and understands the incredible, the phenomenal, the just almost unbelievable capacity of his Navy SEALs and what they did last Sunday.”

Following the Biden outing, SecDef Gates made clear that increased security was necessary to protect the SEALS and their families. He also noted that the Obama administration could not shut the hell up.

“Frankly, a week ago Sunday, in the Situation Room, we all agreed that we would not release any operational details from the effort to take out bin Laden. That all fell apart on Monday, the next day.”

Gates turned out to be prophetic:

“There is an awareness that the threat of retaliation is increased because of the attacks – because of the action against bin Laden,”

Obozo then let everyone know where the SEAL Team was.

(Reuters) – President Barack Obama, basking in U.S. public approval for the killing of Osama bin Laden, flew to a military base in Kentucky on Friday to thank special forces who carried out the deadly raid and led a rally filled with cheering troops.

By the end of May, the Taliban was promising revenge.

Nicholas Schmidle wrote a highly detailed play by play of the raid. He’ll probably get a Pulitzer Prize for it. He also helped the Taliban devise a trap.

“One option entailed flying helicopters to a spot outside Abbottabad and letting the team sneak into the city on foot. The risk of detection was high, however, and the SEALS would be tired by a long run to the compound. The planners had contemplated tunneling in — or at least, the possibility that bin Laden might tunnel out…Eventually, the planners agreed that it made the most sense to fly directly into the compound. ‘Special operations is about doing what’s not expected, and probably the least expected thing here was that a helicopter would come in, drop guys on the roof, and land in the yard,’ the special operations officer said.”

“Forty-five minutes after the Black Hawks departed, four MH-47 Chinooks launched from the same runway in Jalalabad. Two of them flew to the border, staying on the Afghan side; the other two proceeded into Pakistan. Deploying four Chinooks was a last-minute decision made after President Barack Obama said he wanted to feel assured that the Americans could “fight their way out of Pakistan.” Twenty-five additional SEALs from DEVGRU, pulled from a squadron stationed in Afghanistan, sat in the Chinooks that remained at the border; this “quick-reaction force” would be called into action only if the mission went seriously wrong. The third and fourth Chinooks were each outfitted with a pair of M134 Miniguns. They followed the Black Hawks’ initial flight path but landed at a predetermined point on a dry riverbed in a wide, unpopulated valley in northwest Pakistan. The nearest house was half a mile away. On the ground, the copters’ rotors were kept whirring while operatives monitored the surrounding hills for encroaching Pakistani helicopters or fighter jets. One of the Chinooks was carrying fuel bladders, in case the other aircraft needed to refill their tanks.

In the detailed description, there is more prophecy

One month before the 2008 Presidential election, Obama, then a senator from Illinois, squared off in a debate against John McCain in an arena at Belmont University, in Nashville. A woman in the audience asked Obama if he would be willing to pursue Al Qaeda leaders inside Pakistan, even if that meant invading an ally nation. He replied, “If we have Osama bin Laden in our sights and the Pakistani government is unable, or unwilling, to take them out, then I think that we have to act and we will take them out. We will kill bin Laden. We will crush Al Qaeda. That has to be our biggest national-security priority.”

McCain, who often criticized Obama for his naïveté on foreign-policy matters, characterized the promise as foolish, saying, “I’m not going to telegraph my punches.”

Obama did. So did Biden. And so did Schmidle.

They offered the Taliban an outline of how high value target raids are conducted. And it was another high value target they were after.

KABUL—U.S. Special Operations troops were closing in on a clandestine Taliban meeting thought to include a high-value commander in Afghanistan’s rugged Tangi Valley when they ran into an insurgent patrol that pinned them down.

Rangers just happened to “run into” an insurgent patrol that just happened to be there in a position to pin them down??

Bin Laden’s remains were necessary to provide DNA evidence of his death. The alleged “target(s)” of this disastrous raid must also have been very high value as the raid bears a striking similarity to the Bin Laden raid. This time they knew the SEALS were coming and they were prepared for them.

Bin Laden was located from threads of intelligence gathered over four years, and it all derived from a phone call.

So now thanks to the eager press the Taliban knew how Bin Laden was found, they knew who participated in the raid and they knew how it went down. All they needed to do was set bait that someone at the top could not refuse.

The Taliban could leak information about a high value target- it had to be someone high on the food chain, someone else whose DNA would be be required for a positive ID- someone like Ayman Al-Zawahiri. Then they could pin down the first team looking for the high value target and hold out for reinforcements.  

And they came.  

The Taliban KNEW SEAL Team 6 comes after high value targets and could well be involved.

They KNEW the equipment that would be used.
They KNEW pretty much how it would be done.

They KNEW how to furnish the fake intel.

The Taliban got its revenge by playing the game and I cannot help but wonder who made the decision to send in Special Ops and then the SEALs instead of using a drone.

That decision probably came from the top.

Perhaps someone was looking for another trophy-

someone who needs a boost at the polls.

How’s our credit now ?

To the surprise of nobody except the entire Obama adminstration, the credit rating of the United States was downgraded yesterday for the first time in history.

Standard & Poor’s issued a harshly worded criticism of Washington politics, saying that our (ahem) leaders are “less stable, less effective, and less predictable” than at any time in the past. Moreover, after months of watching Barack Obama and Harry Reid swear to veto anything which actually reduced our debts, Standard & Poors opined that they don’t think the current Washington establishment is likely to achieve more savings in the future. To put it mildly.

Obozo is already trying to pin the blame on others (including, especially, the American people) but it’s hard to imagine how he can make it stick. During the two years the Democrats enjoyed a supermajority, they not only didn’t address deficit-reduction, they completely ignored writing budgets and went on an astronomical spending spree.

Subsequently, Republican fiscal plans were offered which would have prevented the downgrade - including the Ryan plan, and “Cut, Cap, and Balance.” But Obama and his happy little band of socialists made sure that those plans never had a chance to get voted on.

So Obumbler drove through a money-borrowing “deal” which added another $7 trillion to the deficit and guaranteed that our credit rating would get trashed…and then excused himself for two huge fundraisers in Chicago, and a gala Whitehouse birthday.

Now the stock market is in the toilet, the United States is in dangerous and uncharted financial waters, and every dollar we borrow (and we borrow a LOT) is going to cost us more because our leaders have been proven irresponsible and untrustworthy. We have met the enemy…and it is the Obamaconomy.

So, Birthday Boy - how’s that Hope and Changed credit rating working out for you…?
