Michelle's Armani suits, or Lawsuits?

This post is not about what she wore on vacation, this is about a federal lawsuit concerning her extravagant African safari,    Judicial Watch requested several in June, 2011, information concerning cost to taxpayers of several vacations Michelle had taken.  The government let the official request EXPIRE on August 3, so Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit over the federal government’s refusal to disclose how much taxpayers spent to send Michelle Obama on a "family outing" that included a safari in Africa, and several other trips.

U.S. sued over Michelle's secretive “family outing”

“How much did the American people spend to send the first lady” on safari?

Posted: August 25, 2011 By Bob Unruh © 2011 WND

 

JUDICIAL WATCH has filed a lawsuit over the federal government's refusal to disclose how much taxpayers spent to send Michelle Obama on a "family outing" that included a safari in Africa.

The organization, which investigates and fights government corruption, earlier DOCUMENTED WHAT APPEARS TO MANY TO BETHE EXTRAVAGANT SPENDING by then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.  Records showed Pelosi cost taxpayers $101,000 for in-flight food and alcohol over a period in 2008 and 2009.  At one point she instructed the Air Force to provide chocolate-covered strawberries for a snack, since it was her birthday.  "Dark chocolate preferred" was the order.

Now Judicial Watch wants to know what taxpayers are spending for Michelle Obama's vacations.

"How much did the American people spend to send the First Lady on a family outing in Africa?  That's what we want to know," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.  "On the surface, the trip seems to have been totally unnecessary and was as much an excuse for the Obama family to go on a safari as it was a mission intended to advance the nation's business in Africa."

The organization requested information in June regarding the expenses for the trip.  The request included records for the mission taskings for the June 21-27 trip to South Africa and Botswana, the transportation costs and all passenger manifests for the trip.

The government had until Aug. 3 to respond, but did not, so Judicial Watch now has followed up with a lawsuit.

"The professed purpose of Mrs. Obama's trip was to encourage young people living in South Africa and Botswana to get involved in national affairs," the Judicial Watch report said.  "The First Lady's remarks focused on education, health and wellness issues.

"However, accompanied by her daughters Malia and Sasha, her mother, Marian Robinson, and her niece and nephew, Leslie and Avery Robinson, the trip also included such tourist events as visits to historical landmarks and museums as well as a visit with Nelson Mandela," the Judicial Watch report said.

"The trip ended with a private family safari at a South African game reserve before the group returned to Washington on June 27," Judicial Watch said.  The organization noted that the WHITE HOUSE DOSSIER, a blog by White House reporter Keith Koffer, said the cost to taxpayers for a C-32 aircraft for the trip alone was $430,000.

This cost, JW reported, was based on an estimated charge of $12,723 an hour, which is what the Department of Defense charges other federal agencies to use that airplane. If a military cargo plane was included – which is typical for Michelle Obama's trips– the transportation alone could have cost another $200,000.

Additionally, there would be costs for Secret Service protection, the care and feeding of a numerous staff members, pre-trip staff work and others categories.

Judicial Watch reported earlier that a "date night" for the Obamas – for a New York dinner and Broadway show– cost taxpayers more than $11,000 in Secret Service expenses alone.

Judicial Watch said it is investigating such costs "in the face of a ballooning federal debt and a sinking economy."

Family Vacation in Spain on Taxpayer's Dime

The announcement about the court case came just a day after THE DAILY MAIL in the United Kingdom touted the 10 million in public money Michelle Obama has spent on her "vacations."

"Branding her “disgusting” and “a vacation junkie,” [reports] say the 47-year-old mother-of-two has been indulging in five-star hotels, where she splashes out on expensive massages and alcohol," the London paper said.

The report said Michelle Obama is believed to have taken 42 days of vacation in the last year, including a respite in Spain that cost $375,000 and a $2,000-a-night ski trip to Vail, Colo.

 The family currently is on another vacation, at Blue Heron Farm on Martha's Vineyard, where the rental fees are estimated at $50,000 a week.

The paper reported the situation was aggravated because the Obamas took separate airplanes to the Massachusetts retreat – even though they traveled the same day.

Also, the report cited figures from a Hawaii Reporter investigation into the Obamas' trip to Hawaii last winter, where the costs were $63,000 to bring Michelle Obama to town ahead of the president, $38,000 for a beach property rental, $134,000 for staff members to stay in a nearby hotel and $251,000 in police overtime

THE WHITE HOUSE DOSSIER report explained South African U.S. Embassy spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau confirmed the African trip was partly personal.

"She's coming on this trip to talk about women's development and youth development, and South Africa is a leader in that, not only on the continent but globally," Trudeau said in the report.  "A visit to South Africa is important for them as a family.  She'll be visiting many struggle-era landmarks, including the Apartheid Museum (and) the Hector Pieterson Memorial."

PELOSI’S EXTRAVAGANT SPENDING HABITS first came to light through Judicial Watch efforts, revealing the $101,000 that taxpayers spent for in-flight food and alcohol for her during that time period.

It was last year Pelosi requested that STRAWBERRIES BEPROVIDED for a special treat on her Air Force transport because it was her birthday. Not just any strawberries: chocolate-covered strawberries. "Dark chocolate preferred."

Then there was a follow-up report from Judicial Watch that more taxpayer money – hundreds of thousands of dollars – were spent in the months before Pelosi handed the gavel over to Rep. John Boehner as Republicans took control of the House following the 2010 election.

Among the receipts: $130 from a Detroit store for popcorn, cheese puffs, Hershey's milk chocolate kisses, peanuts, Snickers minis, Nilla wafers, ginger snaps, mixed nuts, dry roasted peanuts, M&M peanuts, Kraft caramels and crackers.

That order apparently was connected to a congressional delegation trip to Detroit that cost some $24,000 in air travel expenses plus another $10,000 in miscellaneous expenses.

The records, which are linked on JUDICIAL WATCH’S WEBSITE, include flight manifests, expense summaries, copies of receipts and congressional correspondence for Pelosi's trips in 2010.

There's not a grand total for the expenditures because of the nature of the reporting:  Sometimes there were reimbursements listed for members of Pelosi's family traveling with her, and it was unclear whether those reimbursements were paid.

The individual files of 50 to 100 pages of details are posted online in three parts:

• PART ONE.
  
  
• PART TWO.
  
  
• PART THREE.

The details include information on a May 6-10, 2010, trip to Afghanistan and Germany "to discuss issues of mutual interest in Qatar and Afghanistan, as well as conduct oversight on women's issues (troops) in Afghanistan and to visit with US troops and meet with government officials in Germany."

Tab for the military travel?  $204,135.

And Pelosi "made a personal request that the 'maximum per diem allowance be made available at the enhanced rate of an additional $50.”  Also uncovered were "numerous" trips by Pelosi between San Francisco and Andrews Air Force Base.

"Several of these trips included members of Speaker Pelosi's family, including her husband, daughter, granddaughters and son-in-law."

The Detroit trip? Costs were $24,336 for commercial air travel and another $10,046 in "expenses."

The Pentagon also paid for military escorts for the trip, the report noted.  Earlier reports documented that PELOSI HAD SPENT $2,100,744.59 in military travel costs in a single two-year period.  That included the $101,429.14 taxpayers paid for "in-flight expenses, including food and alcohol."

"For example, purchases for one Pelosi-led congressional delegation traveling from Washington, D.C., through Tel Aviv, Israel to Baghdad, Iraq, May 15-20, 2008, included:  Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey's Irish Crème, Maker's Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewars scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniels whiskey, Corona beer and several bottles of wine," Judicial Watch reported.

Interesting post on THE POWERS THAT BE blog about the extravagant Pelosi junkets!

Obama, You Are Not Our King

RE: Our Founders Did Not Proclaim: 'No King But King Obama!'

President Obama, you have gone too far.  You are not a king.  You are not a dictator. You are not the law and you are most certainly not above the law. Enough is enough, and there has been too much already, over the last three years!

The American people have repeatedly said NO to amnesty for illegal aliens.  Yet apparently frustrated over Congress’ refusal to either sneak amnesty for illegal aliens past the American people or shove it down our throats, the Obama Administration has DECIDED to CREATE amnesty by executive decree, by announcing that you will once more, only selectively enforce the laws of our land.  You are sworn to uphold the Constitution, yet you are on the public record stating that you will NOT bypass laws by executive decree, which bypasses the exclusive legislative authority to CREATE law.   You publically stated you will NOT use “signing statements”, etc.  Yet with illegal immigrants once again, you REFUSE to follow existing law – even going so far as joining with Mexico to bring lawsuits against Arizona to bully and punish them for FOLLOWING existing law, also you again REFUSE to follow existing law by refusing to defund 4 of your 37 czars as required by existing law.  You have NO right to decide the constitutionality of federal law – only the Supreme Court and State governments have those rights of NULLIFICATION.  Why are your public statements ALWAYS at odds with your actions?

The Constitution is very clear. The legislative branch MAKES the laws and the executive branch ENFORCES the laws.  Your decision to effectively make law by cherry-picking which laws will be enforced and which laws will not, is a clear abuse of power and a clear and present threat to our Constitution and our nation.  It is exactly the same as the recent trend of the liberal Supreme Court CREATING NEW law instead of upholding the Constitution by simply “interpreting”  law, not creating it.  The responsibilities of a modern president must still be handled within the framework established by an eighteenth-century document, the Constitution that created not a PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM of government but a system of SEPARATED INSTITUTIONS sharing the powers of government between three “balanced” branches.  It was intentionally designed this way to prevent the unlawful implementation of TYRANNY on the people of the United States of America.

Legislators, you must send President Obama a clear message.  Take the crown off of his head and stop his amnesty power grab dead in its tracks.  You can start by passing Congressman Lamar Smith's HALT Act (H.R.2497).  Immigration is fine – ILLEGAL immigration is NOT fine!  Make it a priority.  Make it the first item on your agenda and make it happen now.  No excuses will be tolerated!  We the people are watching.

Then, Legislators you MUST insure that President Obama follows all existing law without cherry-picking around his agenda.  The public is becoming more and more aware of his administration’s “agenda”, but awareness is not enough, we must hold him responsible to the legislated, authorized duties of POTUS.  This ground-swell of public scrutiny brought about by President Obama’s attempts to “hijack” OUR federal government, may provide us relief in November 2012, but we must stop his rough-shod trampling of the laws he is sworn to uphold – NOW, AND RESTRICT HIM TO ONLY THE AREAS OF HIS CONSTITUTIONAL RESPONSIBILITY!  We the people are watching.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

Union Bluff Called - WE ALL WIN - not just Wisconsin!

Union Bluff Called and All of Wisconsin Wins

This Wisconsin Union Racket's Bluff Called and the results are in!

Remember the violent and disgusting demonstrations over Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker doing away with the collective bargaining for teacher's unions, several months ago?

Remember the physical blows and threats to GOP legislators when they left the Capitol building?

Remember the Union activist’s threats of teachers losing their jobs?

Remember the foul language?

Remember the physical damage to the Wisconsin Capitol building?

Remember the criminal break-in into the Capitol building?

Remember the filth left on the ground everywhere the Union mobs gathered?

Remember the Democrats abandoning their jobs and leaving the state to avoid a vote on the bill?  Hey I have an idea for a new bill – Any legislator  who abandons his/her job in order to avoid doing what they were hired to do – VOTE THEIR CONSTITUENT’S VIEWS ON A LAW, should lose their job/benefits just like I or any other patriot would lose our jobs if we did the same!

The results are in NOW!  Teachers and all the citizens of Wisconsin benefitted from Gov. Walker’s courageous neutering of the Unions.

Some Wisconsin school districts went from a $400,000 deficit to a $1,500,000 surplus as a result.  Why? 

It seems that the insurance company that provided all the "so-called" benefits to the teachers, was an insurance company owned and operated by the teacher's union.  Since they were guaranteed to get the insurance business from the teachers and the State had to pay for it, and not the teachers, they were increasing the annual costs every single year to become the most expensive insurance company in the state.  Then the illegal insurance company was donating millions and millions of dollars of “paybacks”to their favorite democrat politicians, who when they got elected, guaranteed to keep funding the unions outrageous costs. 

In other words, the insurance company was a "pass through" for Wisconsin taxpayer money directly to the democrat politicians – the same way that other criminals launder their illegal money.

Nice Union racket and this is the racket that is going on in every single State that allows collective bargaining.  No wonder the States are taking it away.  Now that the State of Wisconsin is free to put the insurance contract out for bid, and lo and behold, they have saved so much money it has turned deficits into surplus amounts. As a result, none of the teachers had to be laid off, everyone got a raise, etc., etc., and the taxpayers of Wisconsin don't have to pay more taxes to fund the union's political ambitions.

This doesn’t even acknowledge the Union graft and embezzlement savings to Wisconsin.

If you weren't aware of the reasons why Gov. Walker was fighting to take away collective bargaining, it gives you an idea of the problem the Republican Party has.  Outside of one or two, none of them know how to speak up and explain properly what the problem was.  No one was able to make it clear to observers exactly what is happening.  This vacumn is usually quickly filled by Unions and other liberals who don’t even have to spend time to figure out what is happening – they just fill the vacumn quickly with obvious lies and bullying tactics.

We could sure use a Ronald Reagan now, someone who could explain things for people to understand, since we know that people don't like to read or pay attention anymore.

Chicago Style

Subject: The Rules in Chicago Lies, Lies, and more Lies

“But President Obama, if you only saw Rod Blagojevich once and from a great distance, how do you know it was him?”

Remember the Rules In Chicago are  Now the Rules In the White House

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for a few good men to do nothing"

Rod Blagojevich is the former Illinois Governor who tried to sell Obama's seat in Congress.  Obama was asked by the press if he had ever met Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

Barack Obama: "I only saw Rod Blagojevich one time.  And that was in the stands & from a distance at a Chicago Bears football Game."  Rod Blagojevich, Barack Obama, and Richard Daley during a rally in Chicago , April 16, 2007. (Photo Reuters)

To understand the next 4 yrs, you have to understand "the world according to Chicago.  While Chicago is a city in Illinois, it is almost a completely different country when it comes to politics, with a whole different set of morals & language.  There are only three rules & a Prime Directive which anybody can understand.  You don't even need an attorney to understand them -- and if you need an attorney.  Well, you know too much.  So look out for Rule #3!

RULE #1.  No matter what you see, hear, or do -- you don't know anybody & you don't know nothing! 

RULE #2.  If you capture something on tape or camera -- it doesn't reveal nothing!
RULE #3.  If you know what everybody knows in Chicago -- well, you still don't know nothing. 

The PRIME DIRECTIVE in CHICAGO.  No matter what the vote, Democrats win the election. 

Now pay close attention!

It's very simple - we'll illustrate.  Remember, you know nothing.  These two? They don't know each other!  They said they didn't.  The fellas in this picture, they never actually met face to face.  What fellas?  We don't see nothing! 

The guy on the left?  For all you know he's Santa Claus.  And the guy on the right.  Well, he's the Easter Bunny!  That's all you need to know.  Make an appointment with your eye doctor.  Your eyes are lying to you!

Remember Jimmy Hoffa?  He knew too much & now.  Well, now no one knows where he is.

Is the big picture clear?  Not these pictures!  Remember, you've already forgotten them.   Now, ain't that simple?  They don't know each other & they never met!  How is that possible?  “CAUSE THEY SAID SO”!  And don't forget it!

P.S. If you pass this on to your friends, don't forget, you know nothing & they will know nothing.

So how's that whole "Hope & Change" thing working out for ya?  I would love to know.  Also, you may wish to share this.

SO MUCH FOR CHICAGO STYLE CHARACTER, INTEGRITY, TRANSPARENCY,  & SUNSHINE

Obama's Alias Vanishing From Web

Abracadabra!

“Obama's alias” vanishing quickly from Web

Analyst confirms “Harrison J. Bounel” identity getting scrubbed from databases.

Posted by Jerome R. Corsi, August 22, 2011 on WND

WASHINGTON – "Harrison J. Bounel," an alias identified for Barack Obama by debt-collection and skip-trace expert Albert Hendershot, is currently being scrubbed from professional databases, the investigator reports.

"I believe Obama supporters are trying to eliminate any and all evidence of Obama's shady past from all public databases," Hendershot told WND.  "It's the only explanation for why the alias 'Harrison J. Bounel' has dropped from sight in database searches on public records done for Obama's Social Security number and home address in Chicago."

As seen in Exhibit 1 below, Hendershot has put together a chart that documents how he first found the Harrison J. Bounel name appearing in databases he was using to search properties in Chicago.  He has worked with WND to make a series of previously unknown disclosures about the Obama home in Chicago's upscale Kenwood neighborhood at 5046 S. Greenwood Avenue.

As Exhibit 1 below points out, following the discovery last March that the alias "Harrison J. Bounel" is associated with Barack Obama's Social Security number and with his Hyde Park mansion, Hendershot published his research in May ON HIS INTERNET WEBSITE.

Exhibit 2 documents that a Henderson database search from public records conducted March 11 resulted in two different records for Barack Obama's Social Security number:  one for a "Bounel Harrison J" and the other for Barack H. Obama, identified with several variations of "Barack H. Obama" that appeared in the database.

As seen in Exhibit 3, Hendershot was able to duplicate the results utilizing a second public database that again showed both Harrison J. Bounel and Barack H. Obama using the same Social Security number and living at the same address.

Next, as seen in Exhibit 4, Hendershot did a "relatives" search on "Bounel Harrison J" and found that Michelle Obama came up as a result, again with an address history that included the Obama mansion at 5046 S. Greenwood Avenue.

A second database search, as seen in Exhibit 5, demonstrates that Michelle Obama shows up as a relative of Harrison J. Bounel, further confirming that "Bounel Harrison J." is an alias for Barack H. Obama.

Finally, as seen in Exhibit 6, a search completed Aug. 19 of the same database seen above in Exhibit 2 shows no record of the Harrison J. Bounel alias.

Hendershot, who has been studying for the past six months the Obama mansion purchase, has assisted WND in two previous published reports:

1.     WND has previously reported THAT AT LEAST THREE PEOPLE ARE LISTED AS CURRENT OWNERS AND TAXPAYERS on the Obama mansion:  William Miceli, a Tony Rezko attorney and fundraiser who practices law at the Miner, Barnhill & Galland, the firm that employed Obama when he did legal work for Rezko;  Chicago Probate Judge Jane L. Stuart; and Obama accountant Harvey Wineberg.

2.   WND reported the “buffer zone” parcel at the Obama family mansion at 5046 S. Greenwood Avenue purchased by the wife of convicted felon Tony Rezko, was transferred to Barack and Michelle Obama without ever being assessed or taxed, in apparent violation of Illinois law.

WND has also reported THAT TWO PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS WORKING INDEPENDENTLY have asked why President Obama is using a Social Security number set aside for applicants in Connecticut while there is no record he ever had a mailing address in the state.

Hendershot is president and owner of Innovative Portfolio Recovery, Inc, a debt collection and skip tracing company based in Birmingham, Ala.

Senator Snowe's Planned Parenthood Payoff

Senator Snowe,

Since my retirement Jan 2011, I have become much more active politically, and am working hard to turn this country around, in opposition to the Obama socialist/Marxist agenda.  I have created quite a few fax lists, and I think you may have received faxes from me through my “US Senate Conservatives” list.  Because we, the people are paying more attention now, and because you are privileged to hold your employment because of your constituents, I am moving your info to my “US Senate GOP RINOs” fax list.  You may be under the false impression that because I live in Texas, that you can ignore me with no consequences?  I have a strategy that seems to correct that misconception.

I created a strategy that has worked well on Democrats that make the mistake of thinking that since I am a Texan and can’t vote for them in their state, they don’t need to worry about my views.  WRONG!  I send them an e-mail letting them know I have Googled their next election date, have Googled their opponents or expected opponents, and two months before the election date I start making contributions to their most Conservative opponent.  Right now, approximately 15% of my total political contributions are for this purpose. 

This strategy served me well in Wisconsin  against the cowardly DEMs who fled the state to avoid doing the job that they were elected to do, in order to protect  the Union mobs!  Hey, I have a suggestion for a new bill – any congressman/woman who intentionally deserts their job in order to avoid a vote, which is their job description, loses their job along with benefits, just like I or any other American patriot would?  There are honorable candidates to replace deserters.  As you know, my strategy worked well in Wisconsin!

I have 4000+ FaceBook friends, a large Twitter following, a blog I started in April this year and now averages 150 views a day (4500 a month) from all over the world, I fax POTUS, conservative and liberal legislators, conservative and liberal media outlets EVERY WEEK, and document everything on my blog.

Because I am paying more attention now, it has come to my attention that you, while I was knee-deep in the battle to DEFUND Planned Parenthood, became a Republican saboteur, and are secretly raking in campaign kickbacks from that very organization.  I think that could be criminal activity?  I don’t expect dishonor from women often, so when I discover it I am ESPECIALLY offended.  

I see you are in the one third of the Senate that is up for re-election November 6, 2012.  I am DEMANDING you, and all Congressman and Senators that wish my support, co-sponsor and seek roll-call votes on the Life at Conception Act (H.R. 374/S. 91) to finally END abortion in America.  I haven’t followed Maine politics too closely in the past, so I don’t know your PUBLIC position on abortion, but now I know your TRUE position on abortion, and assure you that I will stand against your position.  Life is more precious than money to me.

The Life at Conception Act is up to 80 co-sponsors in the House and 16 in the Senate.  Once forced to vote, we the people will find out exactly which members of Congress are just mouthing pro-life rhetoric - and which patriots will truly FIGHT to end abortion-on-demand.  No Congressman or Senator will be able to hide beneath their party labels any longer.  EVERY Republican wolf-in-sheep's clothing in both houses of Congress will finally find themselves exposed.  And we'll find out once and for all, if there really is such a thing as a "pro-life” Democrat.

The members of Congress from BOTH parties who choose to vote to DEFEAT our Life at Conception Act will pay the political price at the ballot box in 2012.  And I will do everything in my power to assure that real justice does prevail!  I am watching now!  We are watching now!

GOD BLESS AMERICA

It's All Bush's Fault - NOT!

Obama is a Victim of Bush's Failed Promises

Post by Chuck Green February, 2010, in the Denver Post Aurora Sentinel

Here's an opinion piece by Chuck Green who writes "Greener Pastures"
for the Denver Post Aurora Sentinel, one of the more liberal papers in the country.  Additionally, Mr. Green is a lifelong Democrat, so this is rather a unexpected, stunning piece!

Barack Obama is setting a record-setting number of records during his first year in office:

Largest budget ever.

Largest deficit ever.

Largest number of broken promises ever.

Most self-serving speeches ever.

Largest number of agenda-setting failures ever.

Fastest dive in popularity ever.

Wow. Talk about change.

Just one year ago, fresh from his inauguration celebrations, President Obama was flying high.  After one of the nation’s most inspiring political campaigns, the election of America’s first black president had captured the hopes and dreams of millions.  To his devout followers, it was inconceivable that a year later his administration would be gripped in self-imposed crisis.

Of course, they don’t see it as self imposed.  It’s all George Bush’s fault.  George Bush, who doesn’t have a vote in Congress and who no longer occupies the White House, is to blame for it all.

He broke Obama’s promise to put all bills on the White House web site for five days before signing them.

He broke Obama’s promise to have the congressional health care negotiations broadcast live on C-SPAN.

He broke Obama’s promise to end all earmarks.

He broke Obama’s promise to keep unemployment from rising above 8 percent.

He broke Obama’s promise to close the detention center at Guantanamo in the first year.

He broke Obama’s promise to make peace with direct, no pre-condition talks with America’s most hate-filled enemies during his first year in office, ushering in a new era of global cooperation.

He broke Obama’s promise to end the hiring of former lobbyists into high White House jobs.

He broke Obama’s promise to end “no-compete” contracts with the government.

He broke Obama’s promise to disclose the names of all attendees at closed White House meetings.

He broke Obama’s promise for a new era of bipartisan cooperation in all matters.

He broke Obama’s promise to have chosen a home church to attend Sunday services with his family by Easter of last year.

Yes, it’s all George Bush’s fault.  President Obama is nothing more than a victim of the never-ending, failed Bush administration.

If only George Bush wasn’t still in charge, all of President Obama’s problems would be solved.  His promises would have been kept, the economy would be back on track, Iran would have stopped its work on developing a nuclear bomb and would be negotiating a peace treaty with Israel, North Korea would have ended its tyrannical regime, and integrity would have been restored to the federal government.

Oh, and did I mention what it would be like if the Democrats, under the leadership of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, didn’t have the heavy yoke of George Bush around their necks.  There would be no earmarks, no closed-door drafting of bills, no increase in deficit spending, no special-interest influence (unions), no vote buying (Nebraska, Louisiana).

 If only George Bush wasn’t still in charge, we’d have real change by now.  All the broken promises, all the failed legislation and delay (health care reform, immigration reform) is not President Obama’s fault or the fault of the Democrat-controlled Congress.  It’s all George Bush’s fault.

Take for example the decision of Eric Holder, the president’s attorney general, to hold terrorists’ trials in New York City.  Or his decision to try the Christmas Day underpants bomber as a civilian.

Two disastrous decisions.

Certainly those were bad judgments based on poor advice from George Bush.

Need more proof?

You might recall that when Scott Brown won January, 2010 election to the U.S. Senate from Massachusetts, capturing “the Ted Kennedy seat,”  President Obama said that Brown’s victory was the result of the same voter anger that propelled Obama into office in 2008.  People were still angry about George Bush and the policies of the past 10 years, and they wanted change.

Yes, according to the president, the voter rebellion in Massachusetts was George Bush’s fault.

Therefore, in retaliation, they elected a Republican to the Ted Kennedy seat, ending a half-century of domination by Democrats.

It is all George Bush’s fault.

Will the failed administration of George Bush ever end, and the time for “hope and change” ever arrive?

 

This post was written NINTEEN months ago – It was Obama poppy cock then and it is continuing Obama poppy cock still!

Will President Obama ever accept responsibility for something — anything?
