Just glanced at the budget proposal put out by Obama today. Holy Sh*t. The man locks the spending amount in at 2011 levels and calls it fiscally prudent. Of course, he raised spending by 20% in 2010 & 2011. Locking spending in at this level and calling it responsible is like Charlie Sheen saying, "I will limit my cocaine intake to only one briefcase a day."

Barack OLiar
Obama the liar:
"When they expire in two years, I will fight to end them," Obama said. "Just as I suspect the Republican Party may fight to end the middle-class tax cuts that I've championed and that they've opposed."
There is not one Republican ANYWHERE that is on the record as wanting an increase in income taxes for the middle class. Not one. And everyone knows it. But no one calls him out on it.
Lower taxes is a core principal of the Republican party, much like racial preferences is for the Democrats.
Imagine if a Republican President said: "I will fight for affirmative action for minorities, which the Democratic Party has actively opposed."
The press would say, what the fu*k are you talking about, the Dems are ALWAYS in favor of affirmative action."
The same thing applies to taxes.
But the press are slient mice on this one.

From A Mother To A Son
Forget about 9/11, Iraq, Katrina or anything else in George W. Bush's memoir. The craziest shit that is in there is this:
In the weirdest news item of the day, the New York Post reveals that when George W. Bush was a teenager, his mother, Barbara, showed him her miscarried fetus in a jar. "There's no question that affected me, a philosophy that we should respect life," he tells Matt Lauer in an interview.
His mother showed him her miscarried fetus in a jar? No wonder why the guy drank himself into Ted Kennedy-like oblivion.
What is nuttier: that she did it, or that he writes about it?

More Power...
From the NYT's a few minutes ago:
WASHINGTON — President Obama for the first time will address the nation about the ongoing oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday night and outline his plans to legally force BP executives to create an escrow account reserving billions of dollars to compensate businesses and individuals if the company does not do so on its own, a senior administration official said on Sunday.
The president will use his legal authority to compel them,” said Robert Gibbs, the White House spokesman.
What legal authority would that be? Every time the President or the Congress does something, the first question has to be WHERE DO THEY GET THE AUTHORITY TO DO SO?
The powers they have are enumerated.
How can the president legally order BP to put a dime into escrow for victims? He ask ask them to do so, yell at them, threaten them-but by what authority can he order them?
Any person/entity that has suffered damages from the oil spill has the right to bring BP to court to address their claims.
How can the President circumvent this process?
The fact that the spill is monumental, historic and tragic does not mean that the powers of the executive branch are extended to compel companies to set aside billions of dollars by presidential proclamation.
Apparently, the Obama cabal/regime wants to model the fund on the 9/11 victims fund. But there is a huge difference. The 9/11 fund was mostly government funded, and its primary purpose was to compensate victims & to preserve the airline industry.
In the BP matter, it's just the opposite, they are not looking to preserve an industry-they want to destroy it.
Let's see Obama's rationalization.... which will be nationalization.

Day 50
Matt Lauer to Obama: Have you spoken to BP President Tony Hayward?
"I have not spoken to him directly," he told Lauer. "Here's the reason. Because my experience is, when you talk to a guy like a BP CEO, he's gonna say all the right things to me. I'm not interested in words. I'm interested in actions."
This was today-day 50 of the biggest environmental disaster in U.S. history. And the president of the United States still has not picked up the phone and talked to the BP CEO?
First, Lauer dropped the ball by stating Hayard's name in his question. If he asked him who the BP CEO was, Obama would have stammered like Ralph Kramden on the $99,000 Question trying to come up with the composer of "Swanee River". And that would have been that.
Next, what does Obama mean when he says "my experience is...."? This oil spill is an off the charts disaster. There is no similar experience in American history. So what does he mean that he knows through his experience that talking to the head of the COMPANY THAT CAUSED the disaster would not be helpful?
His experience in environmental cleanup consists of: (1) using paper towels to clean up after someone spilled a drink in Bill Ayers house; and (2) removing "Green" Czar Van Jones from the White House payroll.
Don't you think that Obama should have called Hayward to at least say: "Thanks for the $4 million you donated to my campaign, and oh yeah, if anyone asks, we can honestly say that we have talked since the spill."
Now to be fair, Obama has been a busy man since the poison was unleashed on the Gulf 50 days ago. Here is a partial list of people he has spoken in the last 50 days:
Derek Jeter
Marv Albert
Paul McCartney
Bono
He spoke to Jeter when he had the Yankees at the White House to celebrate their World Series win. To be fair, Obama asked Jeter his thoughts on BP, and Jeter said that batting practice is very important.
Bono told Obama that he knows how to stop the oil from spilling, but he will only provide the solution if the spill threatens Africa.
Obama was too busy giving McCartney an award for Bush-bashing to bring up BP , and his talk with Marv-WHILE THE OIL GUSHED-was about where the president wanted Lebron James to play next year. When Marv said that Lebron & Delonte West get along like oil & water nowadays, Obama said he did not want to talk about BP.
Clearly by now a pattern has emerged. The Obama presidency just can't stop anything or anybody. They can't stop the oil from gushing. They can't stop the flow of illegal aliens. And they can't stop the out of control deficit spending.
Asking Obama to stop any of the above would be like Doc Rivers asking Brian Scalabrine to stop Kobe.
By the way, we all know that if a Republican was President, by day 50 we already would have had Spike Lee-Michael Moore & Oliver Stone movies in the theaters and each would receive Oscar nominations.
Lee's movie: Bush purposely killed black people with Katrina, and next Republican President created the oil spill because he wanted black fishermen who survived Katrina to lose their livelihoods.
Moore's movie: He replaces the word "Haliburton" with "British Petroleum" from his previous movies and releases it as a sequel.
Stones movie: This never would have happened if Hugo Chavez was the U.S. President-and BP was involved in the JFK assassination.
There is one sure way to get Obama to get to use every available resource to stop this well from gushing-tell him the only copy of the health care bill is at the bottom of the ocean.
The man would move heaven & earth to save it.

He's A Divider
From the Volokh Conspiracy website:
UPDATE: Relatedly, I haven’t heard any prominent “tea partier” make anything remotely resembling this blatant appeal to racial demography, courtesy of President Obama, in which he told activists that “it will be up to you to make sure that the young people, African-Americans, Latinos, and women who powered our victory in 2008 stand together once again.”

Listen to how about 2 minutes in when Obama starts his roll call of ethnic/racial groups he throws on the fake Spanish accent when he says: "Latinos".
There's no room on the Stoop for politicians who appeal to voters based on race, gender or ethnicity.

Ass Wednesday
Dennis Miller says the ashes Joe Biden has on his forehead today have nothing to do with Ash Wednesday, instead it just reflects the agreement they have where Obama can snuff out his cigarettes on Biden's forehead whenever he wants.
