Here are my Top 10 Reasons to Love Barack Obama:

1. He has brought Americans together.

2. He has put people back to work.

3. He has solved the debt crisis with his frugal spending on  only legitimate functions of the federal government.

4. He has delivered on his promises of an open, transparent,  and efficient bureaucracy.

5. He has enhanced relationships with America’s friends  abroad.

6. He has terrified our enemies.

7. He has elevated Muslims and put those pesky Christians that  cling to their guns and religion in their place.

8. He has strengthened the foundation of marriage.

9. He has honored our Constitution and Bill of  Rights.

10. He always tells the truth.

Do-Nothing, Vacation-Loving,   Golf-Addicted, Underemployed, Underachieving Candidate (for   Reelection)

By John Ransom

6/8/2012



Mitt Romney hauled in almost 30 percent more money in May  than  Obama did, despite frantic efforts by the White House to relegate  Obama’s job as  president to a part-time gig in favor of all fundraising,  all the  time.

“The White House insisted this week that Mr. Obama still   spends ‘the vast preponderance of his time on his official duties,’” reports  the  New York Times, “But with his schedule increasingly crowded by  fund-raisers and  speeches that could easily double as campaign rallies,  that case is getting  harder and harder to make.”

Quick: Notify the Bureau of Labor Statistics to “up” the   official number of underemployed by one (+1) for May to account for  Obama’s  part-time presidency.

Ah, but Obama did hold his 150th fundraiser of  the  campaign cycle this week according to the Washington  Post.

I wish Obama could get 150  votes  for a budget; or for the war he waged in Libya; or for amnesty for  illegal  immigrants that he keeps promising Hispanics; or for his Stimulus  Part II.  Or  even one  vote on a budget.

I guess that would presume that the president would have  to  submit a budget in something other than crayon. Or presume that he  actually  understands that the president is expected to do more than just  stick his tongue  out at congress.

So, in another sign of not just a failed  presidency,  but a failing president, Obama got his butt kicked by Mitt  Romney in the race  for campaign cash in May.

If this were, say, Patriots vs. Bears, Pats would be up  10-7  right now.

Not bad if you’re the Bears, but not a good score for a   president who has the whole weight of the federal government at his   disposal.

“Romney and the Republican National Committee said  Thursday  that they raised a combined $76.8 million in May,” reports the  WaPost, “which is  nearly as much money as the presumed nominee brought in  during the entire GOP  primary season. Obama and the Democratic National  Committee brought in $60  million, which was their best month so far but  still lagged behind their  opponent, campaign officials said.”

Gee, think the crappy economy might have something to do  with  it?

Naw.

PART 2

It’s probably just a fluke as the White House  explains  to the Post: “We’re focusing on continuing to grow our  donor  base.”

To where? Outer space? I thought the DNC already  got  the China-to-PLO-to-Egypt small dollar donations cranking in 2008?  Maybe it’s  me, but I’m thinking Chinese donors might be tapped out  this  time.

We’re used to the idea of  the  Golfer-in-Chief taking nine day, 18 hole vacations in Hawaii, Martha’s  Vineyard  and other places you and I can’t  afford.

We’ve known for time that he  was  waaaay underemployed as president.

It kind explains the whole   stubborn unemployment thing or debt debacle Obama won’t   tackle.

But at least we could count on Obama, Master  Orator;  or Obama, Greatest Fundraiser in the History of World,  Ever!



Sure, he’s a terrible a   president, liberals acknowledged, but he speaks well on TV and he can raise  a  ton of money.

But now liberals have to accept that even in these areas  where  Obama’s accomplishments were real, that, yes, Sandra, 2008 was all  just a  terrible fluke.

So let’s sum this up:

A do-nothing,  vacation-loving,  golf-addicted, underemployed, underachiever as president  has now become  do-nothing, vacation-loving, golf-addicted, underemployed,  underachiever as a  candidate.

I, for one, always knew they were the same   guy.

I’m glad now that they’ve met.

THE OBAMAS FEEL YOUR  PAIN

Most can't  afford a vacation; Obama will jet to Martha's  Vineyard WTKK-FM |  7/19/11

Per WTKK news --

56% of families that usually take a summer vacation cannot  afford to this year and will be taking "staycations" at home. Meanwhile, The  White House has announced that the Obama family will again head to Martha's  Vineyard with an entourage of over 200 people (including scurity, cooks,  butlers, staff, etc.), requiring half a dozen Air Force and Marine Corps aircraft, to stay at a $50,000/week mansion that will cost over $1,000,000/week  in your tax money all told.

Michelle  Obama will feel our pain in Spain but only at $2859 a  night

July 28, 2010

  "THE PAIN IN SPAIN FALLS MAINLY  ON THE VAIN": QUEEN OBAMA PHARAONIC TRIP TO SPAIN!!!

    And will the First  Lady feel our pain while she's staying at the $2859 a night Ritz-Carlton? Nope.  Because she's reserved 30 rooms for her friends and the Secret Service. Will she  be paying them from her personal account?

     After Obama declared in a July 27,  2010 interview with ABC's Elizabeth Leamy, “We’re not that far removed from what most  Americans are going through," we find out that Michelle Obama has booked a very  expensive vacation to Spain accompanied by "long-time family friends". The liberal media that did decide to cover it  calls it a "private" vacation, but since when have the Obama's used their own  money?

     The trip will not include Obama and  Malia. And strangely, the trip will coincide with Obama's birthday because he  will be visiting his CEO office at the auto plants he owns in Michigan and  taking a trip to Chicago to attend Trinity Church with William Ayers.

      Why has Mrs. Obama decided to  skip out on O's birthday? Is she getting back at him for not allowing her on the  stage for his winning speech? Is she harboring some anger towards him? We may  never know.

        And will the First Lady feel our pain while she's staying at the $2859 a  night Ritz-Carlton? Nope. Because she's reserved 30 rooms for her friends and  the Secret Service. Will she be paying them from her personal  account?

      Mrs. Obama chose the place  because it is one of the few in Spain that caters to children. That's  appropriate because since Obama was elected, they've all been acting like kids  in a candy store.

       And finally, will  the First Lady be treated to a tour of the disastrous solar energy grids that  have nearly bankrupted Spain and have been suspended?

  MIENTRAS EL PAIS SUFRE  CON UN DESEMPLEO SOBRE EL 20% (más del 35% entre los jóvenes) EN PARTES DEL PAIS, Y LA PEOR CRISIS ECONOMICA  DESDE LA DEPRESION DE LOS AÑOS 30 GRACIAS A LAS MEDIDAS ANTI-ECONOMICAS  MARXISTAS DE OBAMA, SU MAJESTAD MICHELLE SE CREE LA REENCARNACION DE LA REINA  MARIA ANTONIETA DILAPIDANDO LOS DINEROS DEL SUFRIDO PUEBLO TRABAJADOR Y VIAJANDO  ALREDEDOR DEL MUNDO CON SU SEQUITO REAL SICOFANTES EN UN  ALARDE DE OBSTENTACION  VERGONZANTE.

Michelle’s Big, Fat $800,000  One  Week Vacation

6,28, 2011 byJane Jamison|

Michelle has returned home from her week-long trip to  South  Africa and Botswana—a visit focused on “youth leadership, education,  health and  wellness.”  Mrs. Obama was accompanied on her travels by  her two daughters,  her mother, a niece and nephew (and a group of support  and security  staff).

While global warming is a significant concern of her  husband,  Michelle’s interests lie more towards promoting education,  healthiness, and  nutrition. And as such, the carbon dioxide released by  the approximately 18,000  flight miles logged during her trip probably  contributed more to her causes,  than to his. Here is  why.

In the table below, I step through the calculations that I  use  to derive the carbon footprint of Michelle's trip using the itinerary  as posted  by the White House, and assuming that she flew aboard a military  C-32A aircraft  (the typical plane that would be used to transport the  First Lady on an  international flight).

Total miles on military C-32   aircraft:                                          ​            18,000 miles

Fuel use of a military C-32   aircraft:                                          ​              0.4 miles/gallon

Total consumption of jet   fuel:                                              ​                   45,000 gallons

Carbon dioxide emissions per gallon of jet fuel   burned:                       21.1 lbs/gallon

Total CO2 emissions of the   trip:                                              ​               949,500 lbs CO2

Average Annual Per Capita CO2 Emissions in   U.S.:                            43,560 lbs CO2

President and First Lady are partying  like rock royalty

Obama Wastes Millions of Taxpayer  Dollars on Personal Entertainment

By Fred Dardick 

June 7, 2010     The  same hypocrite who says our energycosts must “necessarily skyrocket” to fund his  political ambition, is giving Marie Antoinette a  run for her money when it comes to spending national treasure on personal  luxuries.     While much of  the country is struggling to pay their bills, the President and First Lady are  partying like rock royalty. The collection of talent that has  made the pilgrimage to the White House to entertain Obama and friends is nothing  less than amazing: Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Tony Bennet, Paul Simon, Marc  Anthony, Herbie Hancock, Martina McBride, Queen Latifah, The Foo Fighters, Faith  Hill, and recently foot-in-mouth Paul McCartney to name a few.      This has the makings to be the greatest ongoing concert series ever to be seen  on this Earth just to entertain one man … all paid for by the American  taxpayer.      Let  Them Eat Cake How much does this  world-class entertainment cost? Assuming the artists themselves forgo appearance  fees, I highly doubt Paul Simon would perform with just a karaoke machine as  backup.     Professional  equipment needs to be brought in - sound engineers, stages, lights, etc… Even  small scale performances by these artists can be very expensive.     Add booze, food, security, invitations,  social secretaries, wait staff, and hangers on to the tab and the price for one  of these events could easily top $75K. With over 27 concerts hosted thus far,  the total cost to taxpayers is in the millions of dollars.     The executive branch does not provide  detailed information regarding entertainment expenses, however, it has been  estimated the Obamas spent at least $10 million on “drunken WhiteHouse parties” in 2009 alone.     The Audacity  of Food Stamps Considering the  country is at war and a record 40 million Americans rely on food stamps to eat,  Obama should show some class and skip the expensive  partying.       Whether it’s the world’s greatest concert series, multi-million dollar date  night in New York or taxpayer funded shopping in Europe for the First Lady, the  Obamas are exposing themselves as nothing more than greedy, self-serving  politicians.     While  the President and First Lady insist the rest of us endure economic hardship for  the greater good, they are living like a king and queen on our  dime.

Michelle’s safari  boondoggle

By The Washington Times

June 22, 2011

As a taxpayer of a nation whose national debt stands at more  than $14 trillion, I would like to know how much money Michelle Obama’s “goodwill tour” - actually, a summer vacation for her, her two daughters, her  mother, her niece and her nephew - will cost the U.S. government (”In Chelsea’s  and the Bush twins footsteps, the Obama girls travel to Africa,” Web,  Communities, June 16).

Mrs. Obama and her entourage likely will fly home from Africa  on a Boeing 757, the cost of which is $11,351 per hour of flight. Flying time  from Washington to Johannesburg is about 15 hours, and the return trip is about  17 1/2 hours.

Giving the party a little leeway and using the shorter flying  time for both trips, the round-trip cost of the journey would be  $340,530.

Add to that the cost of Secret Service protection, hotels,  meals and the “family safari,” and it amounts to a rather staggering  sum.

Mrs. Obama is not an ambassador, nor is she a public servant.  Therefore, I resent the fact that the U.S. taxpayers are footing the bill for  her family junket. This Africa trip is yet another example of the Obama  administration’s fiscal irresponsibility.

OAXACA, Mexico - The elder daughter of   U.S.  President Barack Obama is spending her spring break in the  historic  Mexican city  of Oaxaca in the company of 12 friends, a  state police  official said.

The young tourists, including 13-year-old Malia Ann  Obama,  are  staying at a downtown hotel in this city famous for its  colonial  architecture  and well-preserved native American traditions,  the official  said.

"We are here to block access to the hotel by other  people  and  escort the vehicles that are carrying the visitors to  tourism sites,"  the police  official told AFP under the condition of  anonymity.

Malia Obama and her friend are guarded by 25 U.S.  Secret   Service agents as well as Mexican police, the official  noted.

The group, which arrived in Oaxaca Saturday, has  already   visited the architectural zone of Mitla and the tree of El  Tule believed to  have  one thousand years.

The sightseeing plan also includes visits to Monte Alban   known  for its archeological research sites and Oaxaca’s famous   artisan  quarters.

Troubling Things Obama’s Spring Break  Story Reveal IBD 3/21/2012

Media: We normally wouldn’t bother writing about the  president’s daughter, but the story of Malia Obama’s spring break deserves  mention if only because it’s troubling on so many levels.

First you have to wonder about sending a 13-year-old to  drug-war-torn Mexico to frolic with her friends. It doesn’t strike us as the  wisest move, given the potential risk to her and those around her.

Then there’s President Obama’s indifference to the country’s  perilous financial situation.

With deficits topping $1 trillion, you’d think he’d set an  example by scotching a trip that required 25 very expensive Secret Service baby  sitters. Surely there were less costly places for her to go.

If Obama had been a Republican, you can bet such  profligacy would be the talk of the town. But when a newswire mentioned Malia’s  trip, the White House demanded the stories be taken down from various sites  where they had appeared, reminding them that the Obamas want their children kept  off-limits.

Fair enough. Children should not be media targets simply  because their parents are politicians.

But given the costs involved and the location of the vacation,  this was a legitimate story.

Yet rather than defend their own news judgment, editors  started deleting it. Politico even stripped out details of Malia’s trip in a  story about how the White House had pushed to have the other stories  removed.

It made no sense. The news was already out there, so deleting  the story only created more interest in it.

And awareness of Malia’s location was widespread enough that  the White House felt compelled to issue a statement after the Mexican earthquake  letting everyone know she was safe.

There’s also the double standard at play here.  Obama routinely thrusts his daughters into the limelight whenever it suits his  own political interests, as he’s doing in his campaign ads, and as he did when  he invoked their names to justify bashing Rush Limbaugh.

Obama can’t have it both ways. Either his daughters  are off-limits, or they aren’t.

Then of course there’s the blatant media bias at work. Reporters show far less deference to the children of  prominent Republican politicians. Just ask the Bush twins or any of Sarah  Palin’s kids.

In the end, this was more about an Obama power play  over the media than it was about his daughter’s safety. That the media were so  eager to give in is the most worrisome aspect of all.
