Senator Chuckie Schumer Caught Lying about GOP

"Always call them extremists!"

Washington DC, Mar 29, 2011. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-NY, was on a conference call with reporters Tuesday morning without realizing the reporters were already listening in.

Schumer thought he was on a private line with four Democratic senators who were to talk with reporters about the current budget stalemate.

But unknown to Schumer the reporters had joined the call early and were listening in.

Before the scheduled conference call with reporters Schumer began to instruct his fellow senators on how to talk to reporters about the contentious budget process, and how to slant the words to cast the GOP in an unfavorable light.

Schumer instructed the group, made up of Sens. Barbara Boxer, D-CA, Tom Carper, D-DE, Ben Cardin, D-MO, and Richard Blumenthal, D-CT, to tell reporters that:

"the GOP is refusing to negotiate."

He told the group to make sure they label the GOP spending cuts as "extreme."

Schumer told them to portray John A. Boehner of Ohio, the speaker of the House, as painted into a box by the Tea Party, and to decry the spending cuts that he wants as extreme.

"I always use extreme," Schumer said. "That is what the caucus instructed me to use this week."

This is a fairly common strategy used by the Democrats. They will always mischaracterize the GOP position, effectively creating a straw man they can denounce.

They will label any Republican position as "extreme" as they wage a nonstop public relations war to encourage much more federal spending, which will impose a huge burden on our children and grandchildren.

Here's a bit more of what he said about House Speaker John Boehner, R-OH:

"The main thrust is basically that we want to negotiate and we want to come up with a compromise but the Tea Party is pulling Boehner too far over to the right and so far over that there is no more fruitful negotiations,"

Schumer also instructed them to portray the GOP as the obstacle to a budget settlement, despite the Democrats being well known for crying bloody murder anytime the GOP suggests rational spending levels. Schumer said on the call:

"The only way we can avoid a shutdown is for Boehner to come up with a reasonable compromise and not just listen to what the Tea Party wants."

Another very common tactic is to portray the GOP as being held hostage by the Tea Party, and then to demonize the Tea Party for demanding fiscal responsibility. Of course nothing could be further from the truth, since the Tea Party has very little influence over most Republicans.

"Next time TELL ME when they are listening in!"

Actually, if Schumer was right about this, then the nation would be much better off.

We really don't have much hope as long as both parties want to push for higher and higher debt.

It's a real shame that the Tea Party doesn't yet have the clout to hold any politicians "hostage."

Very often both parties want more spending, but only differ on how much to spend.

Once Schumer was told by an aide that the reporters could hear every word he was saying he stopped speaking in mid sentence and went to his prepared speaking points.

Barack Obama Wages War..... to defend Oil For Europe

Rome, Mar 28, 2011. The Spin Cycle has received proof that there are many foreign oil companies heavily invested in Libyan oil development.

These firms are mostly Italian, French, British, Dutch, Spanish, Russian, German and Norwegian with some joint ventures that include American companies too.

Around 80% of Libyan oil exports go to European Union nations. An additional 13% goes to China and other nations in Asia.

Only 5% goes to the USA, so naturally the President feels we should spend our money and blood defending oil for France, Germany and Italy.

The president has decided to go to war to defend this oil, under the pretext of "humanitarian relief."

We didn't interfere in Rwanda when two million people were murdered. Because Rwanda has no oil. The President is not concerned about genocide in Sudan, Ivory Coast, the Congo, Somalia, Ethiopia or dozens of other African countries where it exists today. Because they have no oil.

The ironic thing about this is that while President Obama is spending money we don't have to defend the oil Europe needs, he has also outlawed drilling for oil here in the USA.

We have more oil than Saudi Arabia right here, and the President and his party adamantly refuse to drill it.

The liberal Democrats feel that it is somehow better for Mother Earth if the oil is drilled "somewhere else" and corporations from other nations reap the profits and create jobs in other countries. They feel we should depend on foreign nations to supply our oil for us.

Drilling for oil in Alaska or off our shores would create much needed jobs for the USA. But the president would rather create jobs for Europeans, South Americans, Africans and Asians instead.

President Obama is also risking the lives of our young men and women in the military, which brings to mind one of his own campaign themes in 2008, when he was running for President... "NO BLOOD FOR OIL."

Of course, according to President Barack Hussein Obama, D-Kenya, this isn't a war at all. It is merely a "Kinetic Military Operation."

According to the chart at the right, Obama is waging this "Kinetic Military Operation" to defend the investments of:

BP...................(UK)...........brown
ENI..................(Italy)..........orange
ExxonMobil....(USA)..........gray
Gazprom........(Russia)......dark orange
Repsol............(Spain)........green 
Royal Dutch....(Holland).....dark blue
RWE...............(Germany)...olive green

Waha..............(USA).........purple

Donald Trump: "Stop Hiding Your Birth Certificate"

NYC Mar 28, 2011. Real Estate developer Donald Trump has asked President Barack Hussein Obama, D-Kenya, to "show his birth certificate" just like everyone else does, including Mr. Trump himself.

Trump has been making television appearances calling for President Barack Obama to release his official birth documents, released his birth certificate exclusively on Monday.

“It took me one hour to get my birth certificate. It’s inconceivable that after four years of questioning,  the President still hasn’t produced his birth certificate."

"I’m just asking President Obama to show the public his birth certificate. Why’s he making an issue out of this?"

Trump was skeptical that so few people have stepped forward to verify Obama's birth.

Donald Trump's Birth Certificate

"I went to the best college and I was a great student, and it is inconceivable to my brain that no doctor, no nurse, nobody has stepped forward to verify the birth, other than the governor. He remembers? The governor?"

"A birth 50 years ago? Come on. He’s taking a bullet for his party."

He said other presidents have produced these documents without any hesitation.

"Ronald Reagan, George Bush have produced their birth certificates. Why doesn’t Obama?"

Trump added that the local newspaper ad announcing Obama’s birth also strikes him as odd.

“Someone takes an ad out in the paper announcing his birth days later? How many people do you know who take an ad out in the paper to announce a birth, and then won’t show anyone the birth certificate?”

Trump has been the latest voice to call for President Obama to release his birth certificate, a source of controversy to some Americans who remain unconvinced that Obama was born in the United States. The president has released a "Certificate of Live Birth" showing he was born in Hawaii, but a more detailed birth certificate has not been made public.

Trump appeared on "The View" last week and found it "insulting" that co-host Whoppi Goldberg intimated that racism was behind the birth-certificate issue. Goldberg said that no white president had ever been asked to produce a birth certificate.

“The fact is they asked John McCain for his birth certificate,” Trump told Fox today. “They’ve asked others for their birth certificate. They asked Bush for his birth certificate, by the way, I just found out over the weekend. And they would ask me for my birth certificate."

Curiously, Barack Obama's own grandmother, Sarah Obama,  has confirmed that she witnessed the birth of Obama in Kenya. 

Mrs.Obama said that Barack as well as his half-brother and half-sister, were born in Kenya, not in Hawaii 

When asked if she was present during the birth in Kenya, Mrs. Obama is understood to excitedly say “Yes! Yes! I was there when he was born!”

President Botches Foreign Policy Again

"This mess is your fault, Hillary"

Washington DC, Mar 27, 2011. President Barack Hussein Obama, D-Kenya, has thrown us into our third middle eastern war.

The President has opened a third front by committing our military to an act of aggression against Libya.

We are now giving air support and cover to the Libyan rebels, who are comprised of various Islamic radicals including elements from the Moslem Brotherhood and Al-Qaeda.

To be clear about this, Libya did not attack the USA. Libya is not a threat to the USA, and there is no vital American interest at stake here.

Even U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said on Sunday that Libya did not pose "an actual or imminent threat" to the United States."

The President is calling this a "kinetic military action" and not a war... but whenever a nation hurls a few hundred tomahawk missiles at another nation, it sure feels like a war.

The man who campaigned on this promise...

"I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank. " - Barack Obama Campaign Promise - October 27, 2007

 .. has done the exact opposite of what he promised America.

Tomahawk missle being launched

Instead, the president has continued the war in Iraq, escalated the drone strikes in Pakistan, and sent more troops to Afghanistan.

He also expanded the Patriot Act, continued warrantless wiretapping, and failed to prevent indefinite detention of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. And now he has initiated a war with a third middle eastern nation.

Does anyone even notice that he is doing the exact opposite of what he promised us he would do?

Ironically, the antiwar leftwing Democrats, led by Code Pink, Cindy Sheehan, and the then Senator Obama himself does not seem to have any problem with this. So far, the only Democrat who has spoken up is Congressman Dennis Kucinch, who has called this "clearly an impeachable offense."

Our missles striking Libyan soil

The President has also been totally irresponsible about the cost of this additional war.

At a time of budget crisis at home, soaring debt, and record deficits, he costs for the US attack on Libya continue to mount, undermining Congress's attempts to cut the budget and government spending.

With nearly $2 Trillion already expected this year in deficit spending for the Federal government, any additional programs or conflicts beyond the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq will push our government closer to bankruptcy.

This new intervention by President Obama to fire missiles and deploy aircraft into Libya will remove any and all potential savings made by Congress in projected budget cuts.  Since the start of the week long military action, the Pentagon is spending over $100 Million per day in supporting UN forces in Libya under the no-fly agreement.

This means that every 10 days we will be spending an additional $1 Billion dollars that takes away from military resources in other areas of the world, including our ongoing police actions in the Middle East.  With escalation, the costs will rise even more.

It is not our job is not to police the world. Our foreign policy should protect American interests and American security rather than intervening in every corner of the globe.

President Obama’s decision to use force in Libya is unconstitutional and illegal. Ceding American sovereignty to an international body such as the U.N. removes power from Congress and the American people. Under the Constitution, only Congress has the authority to declare war.

The decision to send the country to war should be the most important one ever made in an administration. Congress should issue a declaration of war, and the American people should know why their loved ones will be put in harm’s way.

Only real threats against Americans’ safety should be met with force. It should always be questioned whether the loss of American life is worth involvement in a conflict, regardless of how large or small.

Libyan rebels admit having links to al-Qaeda

Tripoli, Mar 26, 2011. Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi, the Libyan rebel leader, has said jihadists who fought against allied troops in Iraq are on the front lines of the battle against Muammar Gaddafi's regime.

Ironically, our own President Barack Hussein Obama, D-Kenya, has joined their ranks too, providing air support for the rebel attempt to oust Muammar Gadaffi.

Mr al-Hasidi admitted that he had recruited "around 25" men from the Derna area in eastern Libya to fight against coalition troops in Iraq. Some of them, he said, are "today are on the front lines in Adjabiya".

Mr al-Hasidi insisted his fighters "are patriots and good Muslims, not terrorists," but added that the "members of al-Qaeda are also good Muslims and are fighting against the invader".

His revelations came even as Idriss Deby Itno, Chad's president, said al-Qaeda had managed to pillage military arsenals in the Libyan rebel zone and acquired arms, "including surface-to-air missiles, which were then smuggled into their sanctuaries".

And now President Obama has joined their ranks by providing American air cover for their revolution against the Libyan strongman Gadaffi.

Mr al-Hasidi admitted he had earlier fought against "the foreign invasion" in Afghanistan, before being "captured in 2002 in Peshwar, in Pakistan".

He was later handed over to the US, and then held in Libya before being released in 2008.

US and British government sources said Mr al-Hasidi was a member of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, or LIFG, which killed dozens of Libyan troops in guerrilla attacks around Derna and Benghazi in 1995 and 1996.

 

Now that our President is assisting al-Qaeda, he has solidified his image as a strong defender of radical Islam.

Reactions were favorable after a major speech in Cairo in 2009 by President Obama that marked an attempt by the US president for reconciliation with the Muslim world. 

Terrorists said they were impressed. 

"We still hate America," said a spokesperson for Al Queda, "but this Obama guy seems alright.  In our future attacks, we will do all that we can to make sure he is not injured."

A White House spokeperson said the administration was pleased with the response and hoped that future conciliatory speeches by other senior US officials could secure similar immunity for the vice president, secretary of state and perhaps other members of the Cabinet.

Connecticut Democrats Hard at Work on Budget

A photo of two Democratic legislators playing solitaire has ignited controversy at the state Capitol and in the blogosphere.

 

The Associated Press picture has appeared in any number of venues, and it shows two lawmakers sitting in the back row of the historic Hall of the House in Hartford during the lengthy debate over the two-year, $37 billion state budget.

 

On the left is Rep. Barbara Lambert, a freshman Democrat from Milford who won her first legislative election in November 2008. She replaced longtime Milford Democrat James Amann, who ended his legislative career as the House Speaker and is now running for governor against Republican M. Jodi Rell.

 

Lambert is playing spider solitaire in the photo, while Rep. Jack F. Hennessy, a Bridgeport Democrat who has served in Hartford since 2005, is playing regular solitaire. They both voted in favor of the Democratic-written budget, while Cafero voted against it. A Boston College graduate, Hennessy is a delivery specialist for FedEx.

 

During the long debates at the state Capitol, legislators often work on their laptop computers - as seen in the photograph. Sometimes they are answering e-mails from constituents, while other times they are researching important information on pending bills. Other times, they are playing solitaire.

 

When asked Tuesday about the photo by Capitol Watch, Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell laughed and said, "I think if they'd spend less time playing computer games and more time looking for spending cuts, then we would have been out of here a lot sooner.''

Another Obamacare Proponent Wants a Waiver

Well known Obama Lapdog

NYC, Mar 23, 2011. Yet another advocate for President Barack Hussein Obama's Socialized Medicine plan wants a waiver for his own city.

Congressman Anthony Weiner said today that he was looking into how a health law waiver might work for New York City.

Weiner, who is likely to run for mayor of New York, said that because of the city’s special health care infrastructure, his office was looking into alternatives that might make more sense.

Weiner is one of the health care law’s biggest supporters; during the debate leading up to reform, he was one of the last holdouts in Congress for the public option.

“The president said, ‘If you have better ideas that can accomplish the same thing, go for it,’” said Weiner. “I’m in the process now of trying to see if we can take (President Barack Hussein Obama, D-Kenya) up on it in the city of New York, … and I’m taking a look at all of the money we spend in Medicaid and Medicare and maybe New York City can come up with a better plan.”

New York is one of two states that pass on Medicaid expenses to cities and localities, so “the city winds up having an enormous Medicaid expense,” Weiner said.

He used the waivers as way to describe how flexible the law actually is and how “this notion that the government is shoving the bill down people’s throats” is not true.

Weiner now joins a long list of Unions who also backed Obamacare to the hilt, and after it became law sought, and often were granted waivers.

It's a simple case of radical Democrats wanting to force something on  YOU, but on THEMSELVES.
