"And they call Tea Party folks RAAAAAACISTS?" - Michelle Malkin

Chris Matthews has put his foot in his mouth before on live television, and after the State of the Union, he did it again.

I bet Nancy Pelosi started crying when she saw this, bringing back all those horrible San Francisco memories, again. Oh wait.....

Barry - Diabolical? Or Frontman?

We all know about Barry's background (well, those of us who cared to pay attention).
His beliefs. Those whom he surrounds himself with and appoints.

And as we prepare for tonights State of Confusion address (thank you, Mark Levin), and while it's easy to see what is going on, here.....when you look at Barry in a 6th grade classroom (above), with teleprompters, you have to consider all your options.

Is he lying when he says not to blame him for the backroom deals?? It seems pretty obvious that he is, but, I can't help but also consider the possibility that this man is simply a front man. Used for his American Idol persona and speaking abilities, the way he's able to morph himself into whatever the crowd he is speaking to wants to see, his race easily securing 95+% of the black voter population, and the way he just came out of nowhere....

He has no experience. He may simply just be absolutely clueless, and is simply used as a public relations President, pushing the agendas of those writing his speeches.

Think about it. I never see the man doing anything, Presidential. He's constantly running around speaking everywhere. Or taking trips overseas. Or taking vacations. But there he is, every day, on the TV, campaigning. The never-ending campaign. All he does is campaign.

And what he spews out and promises all the time, never happens. Which either means he's a constant liar, or, he really has no say or power at all.

It's either one or the other, Barry. So which is it? Are you a liar? Or are you really not calling the shots?

Maybe HE really DID think C-Span would be a great idea.



Is he just the salesman? You know the guy, the guy who shows up, who can solve all your problems, if you just agree to buy his product. He'll make all sorts of promises and tell you how great it will be, and then after you buy the product...well, you realize, hey wait a minute....where's all that stuff you promised? Then you try to contact the rep, and you can't get a hold of him. He's shuffled around the office, unreachable. The American people are starting to try to get back in touch with the sales rep, "Hey, what about all those promises?". But you all don't have it in writing, do you?

Actually, some actually doing their job in the media, do have it in writing. They have it on video. And the Administration doesn't like that. Not at all.

Then you talk to the main office, and they tell you, 'Oh well, he really didn't have the authority to promise you that stuff, that's not possible, have a nice day.' Kind of like Pelosi laughs it off. "Ha ha ha, oh that Barry! Yes, he says a lot of things, doesn't he? C-Span. Ha Ha Ha.'

Certainly we agree on his personal philosophies and agendas, and how scary they truly are, but the bottom line is some days, I honestly can't figure out if he's up to no good, or if the teleprompters are up to no good, and his job is just to spew it to his American Idol audience.

It would explain even more while bumbling bafoon Gibbs comes off as he does. I mean, it's tough to be the spokesperson for the spokesperson. What is there to say, you're doing press briefings discussing the public relations guy, who simply does speeches.

It would get irritating when you have to explain why the guy who says a bunch of stuff, with no power to do it, said what he said, and didn't deliver. Wouldn't it?

I'm not letting up one ounce of pressure on Barry, but I do pose the question again.

Which is it, Mr. Obama?

Are you a liar?

Or are you just the salesman? Are you calling the shots?

Consider all the possibilities and keep your eyes wide open, America.

Gibbs Gets Grilled @ White House Briefing

Getting a little tense. What is this, a town hall meeting? And it's not even Fox News. What's happening to the Hope & Change?

Just answer the question, Gibby.



Yesterday -

Pelosi Confirms "Hope & Change" Was A Lie?

Pelosi emerged from a meeting with her leadership team and committee chairs in the Capitol to face an aggressive throng of reporters who immediately hit her with C-SPAN’s request that she permit closed-door final talks on the bill to be televised.

A reporter reminded the San Francisco Democrat that in 2008, then-candidate Obama opined that all such negotiations be open to C-SPAN cameras.

“There are a number of things he was for on the campaign trail,” quipped Pelosi, who has no intention of making the deliberations public.

C-SPAN Challenges Congress to Open Health Care Talks to TV Coverage

NO MORE CLOSED DOORS



The head of C-SPAN has implored Congress to open up the last leg of health care reform negotiations to the public, as top Democrats lay plans to hash out the final product among themselves.

This format would seem ideal for closed-door meetings, which congressional Democrats have used many times to figure out sensitive provisions in the health care bill -- though President Obama pledged during the campaign to open up health care talks to C-SPAN's cameras.

For Their Next Trick . . .

The latest example of violating principles of transparency and accountability in the single-minded pursuit of legislative victory.

By JOHN FUND
Look for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to try to circumvent the traditional conference committee process by which the different versions of health care reform passed by each house will be reconciled. If so, it will be the latest example of violating principles of transparency and accountability in the single-minded pursuit of legislative victory.

Conferences involving members from both houses are messy things. They are usually conducted in public and often televised, and can produce a compromise version of the bill that leaves rank-and-file members tempted to vote against the final version. That could be perilous in the case of health care since it's likely to pass without a vote to spare in the Senate and the House's version passed by only five votes.

North Dakota Senator Kent Conrad, chair of the Budget Committee, has already warned that if the final bill "isn't close to the Senate bill, there will be no way to get the 60 votes here" to shut off debate and pass the final product. But many House members, led by Michigan Rep. John Conyers, are insisting on major changes in the Senate's version.

Mr. Reid and Ms. Pelosi would love to come up with a way to bash heads in private and skip any public discussion that further reveals just how incoherent and unworkable both the bills are. Luckily, there is a subterfuge readily available that wouldn't require the House to swallow the Senate's bill unchanged but also ducks the traditional give-and-take of the conference committee.

When Democrats took over Congress in 2007, they increasingly did not send bills through the regular conference process. "We have to defer to the bigger picture," explained Rep. Henry Waxman of California. So the children's health insurance bill passed by the House that year was largely dumped in favor of the Senate's version. House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel and other Democrats complained the House had been "cut off at the knees" but ultimately supported the bill. Legislation on lobbying reform and the 2007 energy bill were handled the same way -- without appointing an actual conference.

Rather than appoint members to a public conference committee, those measures were "ping-ponged" -- i.e. changes to reconcile the two versions were transmitted by messenger between the two houses as the final product was crafted behind closed doors solely by the leadership. Many Democrats grumbled at the secrecy. "We need to get back to the point where we use conference committees . . . and have serious dialogue," said Rep. Artur Davis of Alabama at the time.

But serious dialogue isn't what Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid are interested in right now. Look for the traditional conference committee to be replaced by a "ping-pong" game in which health care is finalized behind closed doors with little public scrutiny before the bill is rushed to the floor of each chamber for a final vote.

SCARY HARRY HIDES THE HEALTH BILL

‘And here’s the most outrageous part: at the end of this rush, they want us to vote on a bill that no one outside the Majority Leader’s conference room has even seen. That’s right. The final bill we’ll vote on isn’t even the one we’ve had on the floor. It’s the deal Democrat leaders have been trying to work out in private’

Passing out Prizes - The Free Lunch Award

Obama Accepts Nobel With 'Great Humility'
President acknowledges controversy as he accepts Peace Prize in time of war

These types of headlines crack me up.

I don't know about everyone else, but to me, the fact we are in 2 wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is not the controversy. Maybe to the liberals and the liberal media, who are mad at Barry for not cutting and running out of the wars. But not to me.

No, to me - the controversy is, his being awarded a Nobel Peace Prize, for doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Try again, media. Someone tell me WHY he's getting the Nobel Peace Prize. That's what I want to know.

Or do they just give these things out now? Can I have one?

The irony of all this is - the majority of his supporters (aside from the Bush-hate votes) are all free-lunchers. The something for nothing gang....

In which case........how appropriate it truly is. Isn't it?
