Back to Basics

When Barack Obama was campaigning for president he promised the unions that wherever their rights to collective bargaining were being threatened, he’d be there marching with them:

Obama would insist he wasn’t a no-show, as evidenced by a tepid Tweet of support for Barrett — but that’s not exactly “walking the picket line” with the union brothers and sisters.

Here’s a map of the county-by-county results from yesterday. Red counties are Walker and the blue are Barrett:

Exit polls show Obama with a lead over Romney in Wisconsin, but this just can’t be comforting to The One.

Meanwhile, the left is reacting predictably.

Oh, and I finally found video of my favorite moment from yesterday’s election coverage. The “democracy died tonight” guy:

A lefty lamenting the end of freedom as we know it can only mean something good for America just happened.

Update: MSNBC declares that the winner of last night’s election is… Obama. Hey, nobody thought one little drubbing would be enough to yank their heads out of their asses, did they?

Idiotic assertion(s) of the day courtesy of NPR:

…on Tuesday night’s All Things Considered, Harris was followed by NPR substitute anchor Guy Raz lamenting to Obama climate negotiator Todd Stern that “we are the only major country in the world that is still debating whether or not climate change is real.” That’s apparently a serious embarrassment compromising our “leadership” role:

RAZ: Todd Stern, let me ask you about what you experience when you go to these climate conferences. Among other things, we are the only major country in the world that is still debating whether or not climate change is real. Do people ask you when you go to these conferences, you know, where is U.S. leadership on this issue?

STERN: I don’t think they ask so much where U.S. leadership is because I think people have seen President Obama in action. But I think people are quite befuddled by what they see in the U.S., in terms of the level of skepticism and even denial of basic science. Global warming is happening, humans are clearly contributing factors, and we have to act to control it. I think most people understand that.

Maybe these guys think it’s so hot and oxygen depleted because their heads are rarely seen anywhere except up their asses. According to the latest Angus/Reid survey on climate change opinions in various countries, the US does not have all the climate change deniers:

Since 2009, Angus Reid Public Opinion has conducted five three-country surveys on global warming. The latest poll outlines one of the lowest proportions of believers in man-made climate change ever recorded in Canada (52%). Still, Canadians are more likely than Americans or Britons to both believe in emissions as the primary source of global warming and to choose environmental protection over economic growth.

In the United States, despite the economic crisis, belief in man-made global warming has reached the high level that was observed before the so-called “climate-gate” controversy. In addition, the proportion of Americans who brand climate change as an unproven theory fell by five points, the biggest fluctuation observed in the past three years.

Britain has become the main source of skepticism, with the lowest proportion of believers in man-made global warming, and with a third of Britons acknowledging that they would foster economic growth even at the risk of damaging the environment—the largest proportion observed in all three countries.

As for “deniers,” not everybody is a climatologist, but most people do know how to read emails. Being able to comprehend Al Gore’s pet scam doesn’t require a science degree — just a bullshit detector.

Joe Biden gave a similar warning to Flint, Michigan, and the audio below is an even more dire warning from Pluggers — this time for the people of Philadelphia. The desperation is palpable and I think a portion of the audience even realized he’s crazy.

“Hiring more police” was just one of the reasons Sheriff Joe gave for supporting the first stimulus. Now he’s saying that since then the number of police has been dropping, so we need to pass another stimulus?

Hey Joe, people being sick and tired of getting robbed is kinda-sorta why you and your boss are going to get your asses thrown out of office next year:

Biden does give a fairly good argument for why people should exercise their 2nd Amendment rights though. Anybody whose only plan of defense is to rely on the police showing up immediately is begging to become a statistic in Joe’s next ridiculous “jobs bill” fear-mongering sales pitch.

Do you think they’re shooting their entire demagogic wad too soon? I mean, there’s over a year until the election, and they’re already at “if you’re not with us you’re going to be raped, robbed and murdered”? Not much room for escalation.

A few short hours ago, collectivist chameleon OWEbama was braying in an unusual tongue to another “special interest” group. Here the imbecility of ebonics flowed in the lumpy manner that only such gibberish can and OWEbama’s “priority” at that moment was telling the assembled to “stop complainin’” Today, OWEbama somehow found all of those mysterious “g’s” that he lost yesterday as the groups that he is meeting with today only hear that type of bastardized language from the folks who wash their cars and prepare their meals for them.. As well, they probably parked the limousine liberal’s cars and checked their coats for them as they strolled into see Othello..

The so called “priorities” of just a few hours ago, BLACK unemployment, BLACK job creation, have all been filed away until the next black powwow and OWEbama the Bolshevik beggar has taken the Left Coast stage. No more talk of minority “problems”, it’s time to lie to the “rich” who need to “pay their fair share”, right?

At his very first fascist fundraiser, OWEbama charged the assembled asses $35,800.00 per couple, no matter how that couple was comprised, male, female or “other”, for the chance to inhale OWEbama’s progressive perfume. I’ll bet that these enterprising liberal “patriots” didn’t scratch a check of an equal or greater amount to “pay their fair share” of the OBAMA debt and deficits that he has “historically” accrued..

Surrounded by liberal weasels from Micro-lib-soft, Farcebook and even with the “famous” he/she/it lady gaga at one of the collectivist collection plate parties, OWEbama had the chance to “renew the ardor of loyalists who have grown disenchanted with him”. (Fox News: Obama Attacks Republicans On West Coast Tour” 09/26/2011) This was intended to “buck up the faithful”. Yes it was, as long as the “faithful” BUCKED up themselves. If you couldn’t “buck up” to the Democratic degree required, you were left on the outside looking in as ALL Democratic underlings are left to meekly and subserviently do.. I find it humorous when OWEbama asks anyone for cash, since he personally “bucked up” the economy, who has any cash left..

Here was OWEbama surrounded by his “most liberal and deep-pocketed supporters..” They may have “deep pockets” but as liberals they certainly have shallow minds that are easily programmed to process piffle..

Now the OWEbama “attack” has “shifted from focusing on compromise with Republicans” to identifying them as “obstructionists” because they refuse to allow OWEbama the same wide berth that he had and abused when there were not nearly enough Republicans in Washington. This idiotic gamble makes as much sense as 2010’s mid term Democratic debacle of Republicans “turning back the clock” along with Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi calling Americans “un-American” and “terrorists” for having the temerity to disagree with the totalitarians of the left.. Where is Rodham and her “right to disagree with government” screed when we need her?

As OWEbama wails and moans and calls the opposition “obstructionists” he is “demanding their help in passing his $447 billion jobs bill”.. The liberals LOVE to name their Bolshevik bills attractive fibs like “jobs” bills or “debt reduction” bills or “stimulus” when in practical application, they are ANYTHING but.. Here we have a liberal “jobs” bill that focuses on unemployment “benefits” and “public works spending”..

Once upon an election, we entrusted the Republican leadership with guiding our nation away from the yawning abyss that Barack Obama has built. I’ve been watching the incredible circus which has characterized the debt ceiling and ‘spending cut’ negotiations so far. It’s incredible to watch all of these RINO sellouts fall all over themselves to give ObaMao and his lackeys everything they want.

What is astonishing to me is that this is after all the smoke and mirrors are peeled away, and America gets to see just what an immense rip-off of our children’s futures is being crafted, as usual, mostly behind closed doors.

Equally astonishing is that these respective lawmakers are purposefully making themselves deaf to the absolute cacophony of very pointed protest coming from the now over 75 per cent of the American people who don’t want an increase in the debt ceiling.

It seems that the RINOs of the Republican leadership have all shown us their true colors, which from where I’m sitting seem to be various shades of yellow.

Mark Levin came out yesterday and said we should primary their asses. Whoops, that won’t fly on some of my affiliates so we’ll say something safely generic like ‘butts’.

If these scheming, treacherous snakes think they’re going to make lame agreements with not a prayer of them ever being honored, while the country is sold out again… being primaried will be the least of your worries. We’ll run conservatives against you and you will lose. We’ll turn the full power of the Tea Party Patriots to seeing that you’re run out of office.

I noted the growing brouhaha over TSA’s new, invasive security procedures at the airport compared to the agency’s lackadaisical treatment of illegal alien pilots:

Hands-off for law-breakers, hands-all-over for everyone else.

The old joke about TSA used to be that it stood for “Thousands standing around.”

Now TSA stands for “Touching sensitive areas.”

Or, to put it more bluntly: “Thousands squeezing asses.”

Reader Wes sent me a link to a few new wardrobe items he’s offering to discourage the homeland security gropers.

Check ‘em out:

Everything Obama and the Democrats have done has failed epic-style, so now the president is prepping to blame the suckers who voted for Hope & Change the first time for not being properly motivated to be suckers yet again:

WASHINGTON – Admonishing his own party, President Barack Obama says it would be “inexcusable” and “irresponsible” for unenthusiastic Democratic voters to sit out the midterm elections, warning that the consequences could be a squandered agenda for years.

“People need to shake off this lethargy. People need to buck up,” Obama told Rolling Stone in an interview to be published Friday. The president told Democrats that making change happen is hard and “if people now want to take their ball and go home, that tells me folks weren’t serious in the first place.”

“Maybe if I throw all of your thankless asses under the Hope bus a month before the election you’ll really be motivated, you unappreciative bastards!”

It’s no secret that I disagree with James Carville politically on almost every issue, but there’s been nobody more vocal in pointing out the abject failure that is the federal response to the BP oil spill as well as the job-killing, moronic drilling moratorium.

On these things, Carville “gets it” on fronts both economically and environmentally. Here’s his latest rant against the government’s response from an appearance on CNN. Transcript via HotAirPundit (video here):

“The people here have been so let down, the levees, the Federal government let us down, the MMS colossally let everybody down, now the government after they let us down with MMS failed to regulate these clowns. Now they come in and say just blanket stop everything out there… The people at the Interior Department that issued these things don’t have the foggiest idea about life here, don’t have the foggiest idea about what’s going on… They have got to do something about this because the Federal government is about to kill us…”

My question is this: Why won’t Obama put Carville in charge of operations in the Gulf? And I mean of everything, from deciding if the situation warrants a drilling moratorium on down. He’s a local resident, so he’d be locally accountable as opposed to people who are pulling the strings from a cell phone at a golf course in Maryland, and he understands what makes the Gulf economy tick.

Obama has already enlisted Bill Clinton to try and help save the Democrats’ asses in the upcoming election — why not enlist the guy who helped get Clinton elected to get the operation in the Gulf straightened out before it’s politically fatal, if it’s not already?

It would make too much sense, and therefore would be a very un-Obama-like thing to do. I think Carville’s a stone’s throw from accusing the administration of dragging their heels intentionally instead of due to sheer incompetence and the inevitable snail’s pace of bureaucracy — and I hope he does end up saying that. All the more reason Obama should enlist his help in an official capacity before he totally goes off.
