Obama: My kids will succeed, even if USA doesn't........really...?

I wonder why he wants to be President so badly when he obviously dislikes this country so much?

"Our kids are going to be fine," Obama told supporters at a campaign event last night. "And I always tell Malia and Sasha, look, you guys, I don't worry about you . . . they’re on a path that is going to be successful, even if the country as a whole is not successful. But that’s not our vision of America. I don't want an America where my kids are living behind walls and gates, and can’t feel a part of a country that is giving everybody a shot."

It is good to be the president.

Muslim Brotherhood Takes Elections by Storm....and we're surprised?

They say the Muslim Brotherhood could take 45 percent of the seats up for grabs. The liberal Egyptian bloc coalition and the ultra-fundamentalist Nour party are competing for second place.

GM to buy back Flaming Volts.....can you say burnt "Green"....

General Motors will buy Chevrolet Volts back from any owner who is afraid the electric cars will catch fire, the company's CEO said Thursday.

Mad Mitt.......

The "REAL" Mitt is finally showing up!

Mitt Romney appeared strangely agitated in his interview with Fox News host Bret Baier on Tuesday. Romney had won praise earlier in the campaign for his calmness. But the calmness has given way under campaign pressures to open irritation. He testily brushed off Baier's blameless questions as "unusual." Baier isn't exactly Martin Bashir, yet Romney felt the need to treat him like a particularly hostile questioner. Romney hasn't been this agitated since he grabbed at Rick Perry's shoulder.

'Fast And Furious' Whistleblowers Struggle Six Months After Testifying Against ATF Program....

Six months ago, several agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives stood before Congress to testify about the details of a U.S. government program that armed Mexico's largest drug cartel with thousands of assault rifles.

FLASHBACK: Homeless Lady with 15 Kids: ‘Somebody Needs to Pay for All My Children’.....

Somebody needs to be held accountable, and they need to pay."

White House Christmas: Michelle Obama unveils holiday decorations .....

Loved the Military aspect....but if this was anyone but Obama.....we'd be hearing yells of excess.....

First dog Bo is upstaging the Christmas decorations at the White House this holiday season.

The Obamas' Portuguese water dog is in almost every room of the ground and State floors, ranging from a miniature licorice and marshmallow version to a felt design four-and-a-half feet tall.

First lady Michelle Obama welcomed military families to the first viewing of the decorations today. 'Shine, Give, Share' is the theme for the Obama family's third Christmas in the mansion.

Sander Levin & the Keystone Pipeline mess......

“Look, it’s under review but no way was that going to address the immediate jobs picture. No way. So the senators who are talking about the pipeline should now get busy and support proposals that will bring jobs right away,” Levin told TheDC at the Capitol on Wednesday.

Republican senators argued at the Capitol on Wednesday that the project would reduce America’s dependence on foreign oil and create over 20,000 jobs. The lawmakers have proposed a bill that would require the Secretary of State to grant the permit for the pipeline.

Bono says GWB kind of "Knocked it out of the park".....

Finally SOMEBODY says something nice about GWB in PUBLIC!

“We’re hoping very much that President Obama is going to follow through on what President Bush did,” Bono said. “I know that’s hard for you to accept. It was amazing. You know, people like John Kerry worked for this and Hillary Clinton, and eventually President Clinton did some extraordinary stuff renegotiating the prices of … very expensive drugs down. But George kind of knocked it out of the park. I can tell you, and I’m actually here to tell you, that America now has 5 million people being kept alive by these drugs. That’s something everybody should know.”

Barack snubs own Secret Service Agent.....

Being snubbed by the president isn’t necessarily a surprise, considering Bongino is now running for the U.S. Senate in Maryland as a Republican. It was revealed Wednesday that Obama plans to endorse incumbent Sen. Ben Cardin, a Democrat, in the contest in the very blue state.

Bongino called the endorsement “suspiciously early” in a news release.

Secret Fed Loans & Congress Unaware.....

“When you see the dollars the banks got, it’s hard to make the case these were successful institutions,” Brown said, referring to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s insistence in April 2009 that only “sound institutions” received emergency loans.

Once You Go Conservative Black, You Better Watch Your Back ....

I don't begin to know what Herman did or did not do. However the hypocrisy in the reporting is once again...breathtaking in it's bias.

White has the whole combo-platter of questionable accuser attributes: She's another financially troubled, twice-divorced, unemployed single mother, who has claimed sexual harassment in the past, declared bankruptcy once, was accused of stalking and had a libel judgment entered against her just this year. So far in 2011, she's had nine liens put on her property.

But we're supposed to ignore all of that because she's the third woman of questionable character to make an implausible allegation. Liberals say there's a pattern, but the only pattern is of their making far-fetched accusations of a sexual nature against Cain.

Upper West Side Traffic Snarled By Muslim Cabbies Stopping To Pray.....

However....Christians ( and whomever ) don't pray in an illegally parked cab during working hours. They pray in a CHURCH on Sunday on their OWN time & dime.

The Imam of the Islamic Cultural Center, Abdur Rahman, told PIX11 News, muslims must pray several times a day and that he urges his worshippers not to break any parking rules to pray. "A good muslim does not offend anybody. I wish the City, though, could give us 45 minutes on Fridays to pray, like Christians on Sunday," said Rahman.

WARNING: Do Not Try To Drive In Manhattan This Afternoon

Talk about lack of consideration for the same folks he's asking to vote for him....

Consider yourselves warned. @GridlockSam, our favorite source of New York City traffic information, calls today "the gridlock alert day of the decade."

It's going to be a traffic nightmare today as President Barack Obama is in town for three fundraisers, coinciding with the annual lighting of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree.

Former Planned Parenthood director blows whistle on ObamaCare....

Two years ago Abby Johnson, a Planned Parenthood director in Texas, was so stunned by what she saw in an ultrasound given to a young woman planning an abortion that she experienced a dramatic shift in her views on the sanctity of human life and the policies promoted by the federal government, leading to her resignation from the organization. But her own recent personal experience with a pregnancy has led Johnson to reveal some stunning facts concerning the nation's new healthcare initiative, commonly referred to as 'ObamaCare.'

New Book Exposes the Effort to Introduce Radical Political Philosophy into K-12 Classrooms...and we are surprised....WHY?!

We’ve always known that teachers unions are very political organizations, and many of their more radical members are active in left-wing causes.

That’s their right, as long as they pursue their activities after school.

But more and more American K-12 teachers are bringing their politics into the classroom, brazenly acknowledging their effort to indoctrinate and recruit a new generation of radical, anti-American students.

“The long period of self-censorship among educators regarding class and labor issues may no longer hold,” wrote radical educator Rob Linne in his book “Organizing the Curriculum.”

FLOTUS dines at Co Co. Sala.......

"Let THEM eat Cake".......

First lady Michelle Obama enjoyed a lovely evening at Co Co. Sala on F Street on Monday night. A Yeas & Nays source tells us she dined with seven friends for dinner and, of course, dessert -- which featured an edible chocolate sculpture and house-made artisanal chocolates by Chef Santosh Tiptur.

Obama Admin Seals Records of Murdered Border Patrol Agent Implicated in Fast and Furious........

MORE "Fast & Furious" cover-up. Can you imagine the screams if Bush did this? Instead...you'll hear that ever present "cricket" chirping from the drive-by media. The irresponsibility is breathtaking.

This means information will now be kept from the public as well as the media. Could this be a cover-up on the part of the “most transparent” administration in history? After all, the rifle used to kill the federal agent (Brian Terry) last December in Arizona’s Peck Canyon was part of the now infamous Operation Fast and Furious.

Georgetown students shed light on China’s tunnel system for nuclear weapons.....

The result of their effort? The largest body of public knowledge about thousands of miles of tunnels dug by the Second Artillery Corps, a secretive branch of the Chinese military in charge of protecting and deploying its ballistic missiles and nuclear warheads.

Let's Kill Cain's Campaign.....and they did.....

From the breaking news, one might think that with a woman who claims she had a 13-year affair with presidential candidate Herman Cain, someone is being seriously exposed as a hypocrite. That would be the press. The media can't deny they continue to display a lousy double standard. For Republican candidates, scandalous news is instant. For Democrats, it's eventual, if at all!

Alec Baldwin Bashes Mark Levin, Dick Cheney and George W. Bush on Twitter.....Twit...........

Once again, that pesky little missive on "civil discourse" got overklooked AGAIN!.....

Some celebrities Tweet about the organic oats they eat for breakfast — others about their latest romantic trysts and break-ups. But, for longtime actor Alec Baldwin, Tweets are reserved for, among other things, viciously bashing conservatives.

House to Vote on Blocking NLRB's Pro-Unionization Efforts

Unfortunately....Unions are at the epicenter of our economic woes.
Now, we can't entirely blame Unions...in a sense. If the Municipalities were going to give away the store...who wouldn't take it?
However, if they - the Unions; were actually doing what they say they are doing...they too would have seen the folly of their granted requests. They certainly knew the piper would come calling.
Now that it has....they still don't want to stop. WE must stand firm and take back our Country...and battling unreasonable Union requests has to be on the Front Line!

That was a lesson that unions refused to learn in the case of American Airlines, which yesterday announced that it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, making it the last large U.S. full-fare airline to seek court protection from creditors. American was forced to take that action when the airline pilots union refused to budge on its demands for massive signing bonuses and wage increases. The airline’s competitors are flying high in profits after restructuring union contracts in their own bankruptcy proceedings.

The Dangers of Democracy .....and the Muslim Brotherhood

The parliamentary elections that have begun in Egypt will impress only the most starry-eyed of democracy champions. These are the people who, like Senator Joe Lieberman​, think that the “Arab Spring” is all about people “demanding lives of democracy, dignity, economic opportunity, and involvement in the modern world.” What we’ve seen so far instead is the growing success of Islamist parties demanding a greater role for Islam and shari’a law in running their countries. Our failure of imagination that has reduced events in the Middle East to our own historical paradigms and ideals continues to compromise our foreign policy in that region, and endanger our national interests.

Blaze Editor Captures Another Failed EAS Test ....FAILED is the keyword here...

Can't WAIT for them to take over our medical care!

Like the first test nationwide test of the EAS system by the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Emergency Management Association on Nov. 9, this one appeared to be unsuccessful as well, with several technical errors. Currently, it is unconfirmed whether the test was scheduled or a fluke. Neither the FCC or DirecTV had returned messages from The Blaze before the time of this posting.

Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee Chooses ‘Holiday’ Tree Title Over ‘Christmas’.....

The battle over holiday versus Christmas trees continues to rage on. First, an epic battle was underway in Wisconsin. Now, Rhode Island is the new epicenter, with the state’s governor deciding that “Christmas” isn’t an inclusive enough title.

Convicted Felon and Democrat Strategist Robert Creamer Visits White House Five Times in August–Tie to #Occupy?....Jeez...another shock.......Right....

Very interesting read.....would LOVE to have seen the spin if this were happening under the Bush Administration, ey?

Michelle Malkin reports today, based on the Obama administration’s latest document dump of visitor logs, that convicted fraudster and community organizer Robert Creamer has visited the White House sixty times since January 2009–five times in August 2011 alone.

Obama administration rejects Republican states' health law waiver requests ...what a shock, ey?

Noooooo Obamacare isn't driven by petty politics and intimidation....Nooooooo, it's there for the "People"....of course, the right KIND of people.....
The Obama administration on Monday rejected two states’ requests for waivers from the healthcare reform law.

The decision could rekindle the controversy over the waiver process, as the two states that were turned down, Indiana and Louisiana, have Republican governors. GOP leaders at the state level have been extremely critical of the healthcare law and the requirements that it imposes on states.

Trading One Year of Tax Breaks for Permanent Tax Hikes

With just a month left before the one-year payroll tax break expires, Senate Democrats are trying to get Republicans to agree to extending it, to be paid for with a 3.5 percentage point surtax on income above $1 million. The catch is that the surtax would be permanent.

Back to the 1930s....swell.....

In any case, the Occupiers' form of extra-political violence isn't likely to reach true 1930s levels until it abandons the relative safety of urban parks and college campuses and goes out to Iowa, where they are promising to "Occupy the Iowa Republican Caucuses." At that point things are likely to get nasty. While the relatively tame urban police forces have learned their lessons from the 1960s on how to deal with protesters, inexperienced folks out in the Midwest are not likely to be as tolerant of political thuggery.

Rich #Occupy Leftists Drink Chardonnay in First Class While Toying With the Lives of Young “Revolutionaries”......

And Andrew wondered aloud how someone who flies coach, as he travels multiple times a week, gets attacked as a rich and uncaring capitalist, while someone like Jodie Evans can fly first class and still relish her undying support from lefties.

Sadly, I both comprehend the answer and have experienced such moments of clear contradiction–with Jodie Evans herself.

Another blow for warmist fraud: Canada pulling out of Kyoto Protocols

Canada is reported to be planning tom announce it is leaving the Kyoto Protocols, intended to reduce CO2 emissions in the hope of halting global warming, which hasn't occurred in the last decade, according to theories which lack actual scientific proof. The private Canadian CTV television network reports:

Canada will announce next month that it will formally withdraw from the Kyoto Protocol, CTV News has learned.

FATCA: A Ticking Time Bomb for the Economy

Let's suppose that a foreign investor trades stocks on a U.S. exchange, but his broker is FATCA non-compliant. One day he buys 10,000 shares of XYZ at $25 per share, and the next day, he takes advantage of a nice uptick of $1.00 in XYZ and sells at $26 per share. He makes a tidy profit of $10,000. But because his broker is non-compliant, the IRS now withholds 30% -- not of the profit, but of the gross proceeds of the sale! So the client now receives the sum of $260,000 minus 30%. The foreign investor is unhappy because his $250,000 investment has become $182,000. If he wants his money back, he must file a U.S. tax return.

No investor would accept such conditions. Hence, an FFI must either comply with the invasive regulations of FATCA or simply abandon the U.S. markets.

Iranian protesters storm UK embassy.....

Dozens of young Iranian men have entered buildings inside the British embassy compound in Tehran, throwing rocks, petrol bombs and burning documents looted from the offices.

The semi-official Fars news agency said security forces were trying to eject the protesters, who were a minority from a larger group staging an anti-UK demonstration outside the compound.

The agency referred to the protesters as students who were chanting "Death to America", "Death to England" and "Death to Israel" among other slogans.

Christie Asks Obama ‘What the Hell Are We Paying You For?’....

Exactly....

Chris Christie is well-known for his viral, tell-it-like-it-is clips. It’s part of the reason so many conservatives love him. And if they loved him before, they will likely fawn all over him again when they see his latest gem. During a press conference yesterday the New Jersey Gov. lashed out at Obama over the failure of the debt supercommittee: “What the hell are we paying you for?”

Yard Sign Associated With Glenn Beck Sparks $7200 Fine.....

Last week, The Blaze covered the story of Clara and Johnnie Russell and the massive fine ($7,200) levied against them for posting this sign on their property:

City audits Tea Party while letting "Occupy"...well, Occupy scot free....

City Audit Letter Notification

Senate Moves To Allow Military To Intern Americans Without Trial......

The Senate is set to vote on a bill today that would define the whole of the United States as a “battlefield” and allow the U.S. Military to arrest American citizens in their own back yard without charge or trial.
