Struggling US Taxpayers Fund Obama NYC Junket

May 31, 2009 | Steven | National

obama-nyc-before Pitching his message to Oregon’s environmentally-conscious voters, Obama called on the United States to “lead by example” on global warming, and develop new technologies at home which could be exported to developing countries.

“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,” Obama said.

“That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen,” he added.

US taxpayers are struggling to get by as the massive wasteful spending of the Obama administration prevents the economy from turning around, but Barack and Michelle Obama have decided not to participate in the sacrifice he has asked of the rest of the American people.

They decided to wing themselves off to New York City in a Gulf Stream jet for a ritzy night on the town.

May 29, 2009 | Steven | National

I don’t know if actor Craig T. Nelson of Coach fame is a conservative or just pissed that his money is being taken and his wealth spread around by every level of government, but I think he reflects the feelings a lot of us are having: We are not receiving much representation in return for our taxation. Nelson is considering protesting by stopping paying taxes.

Mancow Publicist Asked For Help With Waterboarding Hoax

May 29, 2009 | Steven | National

A series of emails has called into question whether the waterboarding of fading radio personality Erich “Mancow” Mueller last week was a legitimate exercise or a carefully planned hoax.

Mancow, absent from the radio in most major markets and on little-heard AM stations in smaller markets, agreed to be waterboarded for the show. He later claimed it led to an “ideological conversion” and that – lo and behold – he now sees waterboarding as torture. Predictably, this has led to increased media exposure, most notably an appearance on MSNBC’s left wing Countdown.

May 29, 2009 | Steven | 2 Comments | Politics

Now this is strange. It seems the “ineffective,” “detrimental” Rush Limbaugh, who “only hurts the Republican cause” and “drives voters away from the big tent” because he’s “just an entertainer” and a “blowhard” has struck a nerve in the White House of the failed Obama administration.
