Here's the thanks

I'll start this post out by saying to the people of Honduras...yes, our President is this stupid, all I can say is that I didn't vote for the guy, understand that we're stuck with this stupid bastard for four years, and then we'll try and rebuild from there.

Investor's Business Daily asked yesterday in their editorial, "Where's the Thanks?"  regarding Honduras' extradition of Jamal Yousef to the US, even after their shitty treatment by the Administration and US State Department.  Yousef is a shady arms supplier from Syria, who supplies small arms for criminal enterprises and terrorist organizations. 

So, how are they being rewarded today?  The State Department has begun the process to cut off formal aid to Honduras.  Let's remember, this all came about because the former President of Honduras basically tried to run roughshod over the nation's constitution, which imposes term limits for presidents.  The president had served the full term, and had to be forcefeully removed because he would not leave office. 

The amazing thing is you know that the same leftists who spent eight years feeding this paranoid fear that Teh Bushitler would cancel the elections and declare himself Chimperor 4 Lyfe are watching this situation and what the Obama administration is doing and nodding approvingly.

He always sides with the tyrant.

7 months in and he's sided with the tyrant, or budding tyrant, every single chance he's had.
Sure, messing with Honduras is helping a budding commie dictator, but it's not just a commie thing either, it's every single time.

WTF? You know? WTFF?

Let's start a pool.

Jonathan Adler, at the Corner, notices that
Let's see now.  Deficit projections are once again on the rise as Obama's approval rating falls.  Health care reform is faltering, climate change legislation is stalled, and David Axlerod is under fire for his conflicts of interest.  Seems like a good time to change the subject.

He left out the illegality of using my money to send out socialized medicine advertisements.

He then talks about the attack on the CIA's harsh interrogations but also notes that's not taking effect.
He finishes with
If I were a betting man, I'd expect something else to drop Monday or Tuesday.

I figure it'll have to do with Bush.
Obama has to be sick of Dick Cheney and Sarah Palin beating his ass whenever they mention him.

Bush doesn't fight back so he's a safe target for Obama.

God help us when he goes the Slick Willie route and starts bombing countries so Minitru can get his latest screw-up off the front pages.

More Timely Info

File this under "Stuff America should have known about last year"

It's kind of long, but velly intellesting, in talking about at lest one of Tony Rezko's building not having heat for a month during a -30degree cold snap, DirectorBlue mention some other of his properties, where they are and how he got some Chicago city projects.

Quote
Rezmar’s properties turned out to be catastrophic failures: 17 buildings ended up in foreclosure, 6 are boarded up, hundreds of apartments are vacant and require repair… and taxpayers were stuck with millions in unpaid loans.

All of these buildings were in — or just blocks away from — a single state senator’s district. A district belonging to a young, up-and-coming politician named Barack Obama.

You know, if the media had been even marginally not in the tank, we might have heard about this stuff a year ago when it would have done some good.

Someone finally gave me a reason to shop at Whole Paycheck

The funny thing is, the source giving me the reason seems to be upset over the CEO of Whole Foods referring to Obamacare as socialism.  It's probably a good thing she's not planning on shopping at Whole Foods anymore, I don't know how anyone's going to afford their prices when taxes go up on the expiration of Bush's tax cuts.  I'm not sure if anyone making less than $250K a year shops there anyway.

Lying liar and the lies he tells

Via Mike at Cold Fury, we find Director Blue apparently scored the biggest guest blogger of all: President Obama! And he's correcting the 10 worst lies.
Number 10
According to the Congressional Budget Office, under the House bill, in the year 2015 about 8 million uninsured Americans would remain uninsured and pay higher taxes. This would violate my pledge not to raise taxes on anyone earning less than $250,000 per year. Conclusion: The CBO is lying.

Birther Nonsense And Stupid Polls

I'm so fucking tired of the left spouting on and on about the birthers and how stupid they are and how many there are when the mote in their fucking eye is a redwood.

St. Andrew (no link due to established DPUD policy) quotes this poll:

According to Public Policy Polling (PPP), a North Carolina polling firm, only 24% of self-identified Republican voters in the state believe Barack Obama was born in the United States. 47% do not believe that Obama is American born, and 29% of Republicans aren’t sure. One part of PPP’s data might reassure sentient readers somewhat: 7% of those who voted for John McCain do not believe Hawaii to be a part of the United States. Now perhaps this is just another irrational expression of Obama hatred. But, it may also be older voters who never quite absorbed the news that our 50th state is indeed our 50th state.

He claims that is AMAZING! Hey, I agree that it is pretty depressing that 7% of any group doesn't know Hawaii is a state but I'd like to see a similar poll done of NC Obama voters about 9/11 Truth beliefs and some generic geography question. I'm sure the numbers would iron out almost EXACTLY the same with probably a greater ignorance of geography.

Oh, and before you can say it. RACISSTT!!!!!!

Sauce for the Goose

Outrageous! Fucking outrageous.

How dare anyone bring a politician's family into the issue. And CHILDREN? FUCKING MONSTERS.

Wait. Weren't they on stage with him at the convention? Oh, that means its okay to make rape jokes about them on national television. Didn't the White House get the memo?

Besides, what does a differing set of rules for the elite have to do with the debate about nationalizing health care? Surely our health care will be separate but EQUAL.

Disagree? You're a fucking racist.

Update: Until I get my links fixed, here is the quote about what they put in an advertisement opposed different standards of education for elites:

The posters went up last week, 14 in Union Station. On each of the large displays, a thought bubble rises up from a picture of a beautiful 8-year-old: "President Obama's daughters get healthy school lunches. Why don't I?"

Update:Here is a link. Note that I don't necessarily agree with expanding school lunches. I'm just pointing out the obvious double standard and remarkable think-skinnedness of the Obama Administration.

Or, um, should we listen to Candidate Barack?

But I Thought Obamacare Was Going To Help EVerybody, And That I Would Get A Pet Unicorn

Well, it appears, not so much.

Spending on health care this year is projected to reach $2.5 trillion, or 17.6 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation analysis of Medicare and Medicaid data. That's up from 7.2 percent in 1970, and by 2018 it could swell to one-fifth of the GDP, which is a measure of all goods and services produced in the United States.

Meanwhile, a worsening shortage of primary-care providers and rising demand for certain specialists will continue to strain the system, perhaps creating long waits for appointments.

The existing health-care delivery system cannot seamlessly respond to a surge in demand for services, said Jeffrey Bauer, a medical economist.

This is "one of the Achilles heels of reform," said Bauer, management consulting partner at Affiliated Computer Services Inc. and leader of the health futures practice at ACS Healthcare Solutions in Chicago.

"People are already strapped to get a doctor," Bauer said. "As more people have insurance, they will try to get appointments with more doctors, and that will lead to dramatic increases in the time it takes to get an appointment."

Depending on the coverage people have, where they live and whether they have an existing relationship with a physician, some Americans could encounter long delays in getting in to see a doctor.

Gee. Color me shocked that Obamacare will only fuck things up the ass with a cactus even more. And expect British style rationing stories such as this to pop up, provided the MSM did its job.

The surgery was first scheduled for April 2, but was postponed because of last-minute emergency cases coming in.

It was re-arranged for four days later but again the operation was cancelled for the same reason.

A third date was organised for April 20 and last Thursday she went to the children's hospital for pre-operative tests.

But on Saturday morning her parents received another call from the hospital, explaining her operation would have to be cancelled yet again.

Michele Narey, manager of the Women's and Children's division at the University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust, said: 'The decision to cancel any patient for any procedure is taken extremely seriously but is sometimes unavoidable because of the need to effectively manage emergency patients requiring beds on a day-to-day basis.

'We know that cancelling procedures can cause additional stress for patients so we will always seek to avoid this wherever possible.

'We are continually reviewing our procedures to improve the management of emergency patients through our hospitals to avoid cancellations.

'We cannot discuss individual cases because of our duty of confidentiality to patients and their families.

While I do not wish ill on a child, I hope that one of those SEIU thugs who go around beating up people to advance Obamacare have to endure the rationing hell that will come down the pike.

Thanks to Sockless Joe for the tips

Sonia Sotomayor confirmed.

68-31.

Consider this post a ginormous FUCK YOU to each and every one of you who sat out to teach John McCain a lesson.  Elections have consequences, fucktards.  Justice-designate Sotomayor is 55, there's a chance she's going to be on the bench for twenty years or more.

Clinton Gets Lucky

Over at IMAO, FrnakJ gave some excellent ideas for who or what we should send to North Korea instead of Clinton.

As I wrote, I didn't think he was putting enough thought into it and I stuck up for Obama.
And....
I was right! (via Drudge,duh)

Who else would you send to pick up two chicks anywhere?

Obama can't even pick beers right

So much for Red, Light, and Blue. Which were obviously chosen solely to create that stupid-ass fucking tagline.

Among rival brewers, the news fell flat. "We would hope they would pick a family-owned, American beer to lubricate the conversation," said Bill Manley, a spokesman for the Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., a California-based brewer that happens to be family-owned.

Jim Koch, founder of Boston Beer Co., which brews Samuel Adams, decried "the foreign domination of something so basic and important to our culture as beer."

Richard Neal, a Massachusetts Congressman who has also written the White House amid the beer ferment, also hopes the meeting will promote beer-drinking nationalism. In a not-so-subtle dig at Bud, he said he knew he and the president "both share a common interest in fostering the success of American-headquartered companies."

More outraged American brewers at the link.

Princess Fuknut

To mangle a phrase from the Queen of Demure.  Princess Fuknut just seems so much more apropos.

I don't think my Fancy Nancy Pirate Princess can even do such an effeminate drink hold, even when inspired by fine china at a tea party.  I think next we'll find out that's not really beer he's pretending to quaff.

Obama: Who You Gonna Believe, Me Or Your Lying Wallet?

Yup. The One tells us he has not raised taxes.

Q 'A lot of business leaders consider you to be anti-business. I was struck when I attended the Aspen Institute Ideas Festival. ... These are wealthy, fairly progressive older people who had tended to support you, but they seemed very upset about corporate taxes, individual taxes, card-check, all sorts of things you're doing that they perceived as not helpful to them. What can you say to those people?'

OBAMA: 'Let's look at the record. I've been in office six months. So far my only tax policy has been to cut taxes for 95 percent of working people. I haven't signed a bill that's raised taxes yet.

Man. Too bad my job doesn't allow me to take the hallucinogenic drugs he's taking, because I could really come up with some crazy shit as well.

Shockingly, Capitalism And Common Sense Intervenes In The Treasury Auctions

You mean to tell me that an ass fuck load of national debt might, just might, damper demand for U.S. Treasury Sales?

Get. The. Fuck. Out.

Under the weight of the ballooning deficit, the government has raised auction volumes and analysts now wonder whether the strain on the market is showing.

"Obviously everyone is inferring that tomorrow's won't be good either," said James Combias, head of government bond trading at Mizuho Securities USA in New York. "Maybe you will see more interest tomorrow but I think the increase in the auctions and the size of them may be starting to have an effect. These are very large auctions."

Demand for the five-year notes was below average, measured by the bid-to-cover ratio of 1.92, the lowest in almost a year.

No fucking shit, Triple Word Score of Cockholsters. When the Treasury prints money as if it's toilet paper, you bet your fucking ass that nobody will fucking pay top dollar for something that may be worthless by the time the ink dries on the Treasury Notes.

But I am sure Obama and his team have a plan. Right?

Right?

Obama To Boot Non-Marxist Honduran Officials?

Well, it looks like it.

State Department spokesman Ian Kelly did not identify the Hondurans whose visas were yanked, but he indicated that other officials also could have their visas revoked. He said U.S. authorities were reviewing the visas of all members of the current government and their dependents.

The move came two weeks after the start of negotiations aimed at defusing the crisis and helping ousted president Manuel Zelaya return. Costa Rican President Oscar Arias, who is leading the negotiations, has presented a plan that would allow Zelaya back into office, with curtailed powers, until his term expires in January. The proposal was initially rejected by officials in the de facto government, but they have shown signs in recent days that they are softening their position, Honduran and U.S. officials said.

"We're trying to do everything that we can to support this -- this process that was begun by Costa Rican President Arias and the negotiation efforts," Kelly told reporters. "These actions that we're taking are consistent with our policy of the non-recognition" of the de facto government.

The Honduran military detained Zelaya on June 28 and flew him out of the country. Zelaya is an ally of Venezuela's leftist president, Hugo Chávez, and many Latin Americans see the Honduran's ouster as a test of the Obama administration's commitment to democracy in the region.

Officials of the current Honduran government say the arrest was legal, noting that Zelaya had defied the Supreme Court in calling a referendum that could have led to overturning the constitution's ban on a second presidential term. But his ouster has been roundly condemned internationally as a coup.

The Honduran imbroglio has spilled over into U.S. politics, with some Republicans charging that the Obama administration is being too soft on Zelaya. On Tuesday, in a sign of protest, four Republicans on the 19-member Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted against the confirmations of two Obama nominees -- Arturo Valenzuela as assistant secretary of state for Western Hemisphere affairs and Thomas A. Shannon Jr. as ambassador to Brazil. Both were still approved.

Zelaya has lashed out at the U.S. government in recent days, saying it is not doing enough to help him. But on Tuesday, he praised the State Department announcement.

"This is a coup that has been dead from the start, so they will have to abandon their position of intransigence in the coming hours," he told reporters in the Nicaraguan town of Ocotal near the Honduran border, where he has camped out in recent days with hundreds of supporters.

The interim president, Roberto Micheletti, played down the importance of the U.S. announcement. He said that although he hadn't been targeted, "it wouldn't bother me if the ambassador revoked my visa. He has no justification for doing it," according to the Associated Press.

Yeah, and anybody who thinks Obama hasn't picked sides is mistaken.

Hmmmmmm...

I wonder how they could have possibly got their grubby little hands on something like that...

Swedish-made anti-tank rocket launchers sold to Venezuela years ago were obtained by Colombia's main rebel group, and Sweden said Monday it was demanding an explanation.

Colombia said its military found the weapons in a captured rebel arms cache and that Sweden had recently confirmed they originally were sold to Venezuela's military.

The confirmation strengthens Colombian allegations that Hugo Chavez's government has aided the leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC.

Wait, you mean to imply that Hugo Chavez would get involved with something like that? The hell, you say!

Venezuela's justice minister, Tareck El Aissami, on Monday dismissed the report of the missiles, denying that "our government or institutions have ever collaborated with any type of criminal or terrorist organizations."

Well, that's certainly reassuring.

Related: Colombian Special Forces troops, trained by the Green Berets and highly successful in counter-insurgency operations in their own country, are headed to Afghanistan to fight alongside our guys. WIN!
