Obama Making up Facts, Creates “Climate Refugees!” 9/23/9 Dinocrat Catches this one with great humor! “That sinking feeling! From the President’s speech at the UN we learn that “rising sea levels threaten every coastline,” apparently causing islands to shrink and people to flee their homes as climate refugees:(Obama quote) “On shrinking islands, families are already being forced to flee their homes as climate refugees.” What islands is Obama talking about? Tuvalu, which has seen a negligible 3cm rise in sea level over the last quarter century? Or perhaps dreary Kivalina, which has indeed been shrinking, though not because of global warming. Apparently sea level increased by an average of 1.8mm a year over the last century. So if you were on an island like Tuvalu, which is 4.5m above sea level, you would be forced to “flee your home as a climate refugee” by the year 3000 or so. Better start running!” — Jonas Brothers: “You see I’ve been to the year 3000. Not Much has changed but they live underwater.”
Public School Kids Indoctrinated with Praise Obama Song! 9/24/9 A nation where public school kids are taught to sing the praises of a current president (of either party) is not the American I know and love! Is it your America? Liberals ran column after column about how silly all the conservatives were for screaming indoctrination about the White House-written lesson plans sent to public schools. You remember them…the one’s the White Hosue was forced to throw out! Well, how’s this for indoctrination…it comes from B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington, New Jersey…Here’s the video of them being taught to sing the Barack Hussein Obama Song (they apparently didn’t know you’re not supposed to use his middle name because it makes him sound Muslim)…
Can’t wait to here the Socialists explain away this one. Will any reporter have the guts to ask Obama himself if he thinks this is appropriate? Is this His America? The school should be temporarily shut down. The principal should be immediately fired. The teacher apparently retired last year, but steps should be taken to see if she can be disciplined through her pension benefits. Special non-union instructors and counselors should be brought in to teach these kids about brainwashing and help them to understand that what happened to them was wrong. Parents should shut this school down until these issues are addressed! Democrats, Liberals, Republicans, Independents, Libertarians, Conservatives…all should be outraged over this one. We need more Tea Parties! We need to take our America back from the Socialists elected in 2008! Enough is Enough! UPDATE 9/29/9 More indoctrination from other schools. Here’s the video of the kids singing at a PTO meeting:
Meanwhile, the Alex Jones Show has another video to add to the collection:
Earlier Obama Arts Scandal Uncovered! 9/24/9 Fox News: “The White House convened a meeting of 60 artists to help push the president’s domestic agenda in May, months before a controversial conference call with artists in August led to the reassignment and, on Thursday, the resignation of the communications director of the National Endowment for the Arts. In what some critics are calling a “troubling” early effort by the Obama administration to politicize the NEA, rappers, dancers, writers and other activists from around the country were invited to a May 12 session next door to the White House, where they were “challenged to come up with promising and attractive ideas about how artists can work for the administration’s agenda,” according to a report written by organizers of the meeting. An NEA official in charge of grants for performing artists was in attendance, as was the organization’s former chief spokesman, Yosi Sergant, who was reassigned last month after he led a similar conference call with 75 artists and urged them to promote Obama’s policies…One participant in the May 12 session “suggested the people in the room equaled a think tank to serve the administration’s aims and asked how in practical terms we could connect to the administration’s work,” the report says. Government watchdogs said the meeting at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building was a problematic and partisan use of the NEA, which is supposed to be politically neutral…Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington…said it was “troubling” that the government-funded NEA was suggesting to artists who rely on it for aid that they make a push for the administration. “There’s got to be a certain amount of pressure [the artists] are feeling.”…According to the meeting report, the NEA’s director of presenting, Mario Garcia Durham, spoke of the “recent increase in the NEA’s budget” — what he called a “break in the clouds” — that would allow more artists to get government funding.” — ConservativeAmerican.org adds this: Yes, more government funding IF YOU SUPPORT OBAMA!
Krauthammer’s “Obama Human Rights Scandal” 9/24/9 From Fox News: “(BRET) BAIER: Charles, last word here quickly. You’ve said of other speeches by President Obama around the world that they are very apologetic in nature. Is that your sense in this one as well? KRAUTHAMMER: This one was worse. When he (inaudible) about how he had reversed the course of America and how those who doubt our character aught look at our actions, among the actions he cited was our joining the U.N. Human Rights Council, which is led by the worst human rights violators on the planet. It is an Orwellian, farcical organization. The idea that we should be on it is regrettable, but the idea that we should be boasting about it as an American achievement is a scandal.
VP Joe Biden Threatens His Own Life! 9/24/9 A threat on the Vice President’s life came from…the Vice President himself! Politico reports that during a conference call with the states, Missouri Democrat Gov. Jay Nixon thanked Biden for his interest in the stimulus. Biden then replied, “‘Pure self interest, Jay. If it fails, I’m dead.’”

Obama Abandons Afghanistan Promises! 9/25/9 – From Kori Schake writing in the Wall Street Journal: “When Mr. Obama announced his current Afghanistan policy in March, he said it was “a stronger, smarter, more comprehensive strategy” that would build schools, hospitals, roads, and enterprise zones, addressing issues like energy and trade. Where are those efforts? He said “to advance security, opportunity and justice—not just in Kabul, but from the bottom up in the provinces—we need agricultural specialists and educators; engineers and lawyers.” Where are those specialists? The president said “I am ordering a substantial increase in our civilians on the ground.” He directed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to develop a diplomatic plan to parallel Gen. McChrystal’s military plan. Where is that plan? The administration has done virtually nothing in these areas.” Ms. Schake is a fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution and an associate professor at the United States Military Academy.
Obama Giving Stimulus Money to Libyan Charities run by the Gadhafi Family! 9/25/9 Gateway Pundit: “Obama plans on giving $400,000 to a Libyan Charity run by the Gaddafi family. CBS2 Chicago reported: The Obama Administration plans to give $400,000 in funding to a Libyan charity run by the Gadhafi family, and U.S. Rep. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) wants the grant withdrawn. The money would be divided between two foundations run by the family of Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi. A $200,000 share is set to go to the Gadhafi Development Foundation, which is run by Gadhafi’s son, Saif, and another $200,000 are to go to Wa Attassimou, an organization run by Muammar Gadhafi’s daughter, Aisha.” ConservativeAmerican.org asks, Why are your tax dollars being given away as a charitable gift to foreign charities? Since when can the federal government tax us so they have money to give away to foreign charities?
Obama Breaks Promise to Close Guantanamo Bay by January 9/27/9 The Miami Herald reports: “The White House acknowledged for the first time Friday that it might not be able to close the U.S. military prison at Guantánamo Bay by January as President Barack Obama has promised. Senior administration officials told The Associated Press that difficulties in completing the lengthy review of detainee files and resolving thorny legal and logistical questions mean the president’s self-imposed January deadline may slip.”
Obama Breaks No Earmarks Pledge – Again 9/27/9 From Carol Marin at the Chicago Sun Times: “The story that stood out was by David D. Kirkpatrick of the New York Times. It was headlined, “Health Bill Could Hold Reward for 4 Cancer Centers.” His report should make our national blood boil enough to tell Barack Obama that all his compromising on health-care reform isn’t reforming Washington one iota. His story line was simple. In exchange for supporting aspects of the Obama health initiative, some members of Congress, including the leadership of the president’s own party, want pork. And so, imbedded in the fine print of the 1,000-page-plus legislation, are sweeteners for certain senators who intend to bring home some bacon in exchange for their vote. The worst example cited was none other than Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. He wants to ensure that the Nevada Cancer Institute, a cancer treatment center with no particular national reputation, reaps “a big gain in federal reimbursements as part of the health-care overhaul.” Functionally, it’s an “earmark,” which Obama railed against during the campaign. Kirkpatrick found a number of them tucked in this so-called reform package, written in a wily way to slip by us taxpayers unnoticed, proposals that “would provide more favorable Medicare payment rates to just a handful of specific medical facilities.” I’d call it a scandal but sadly, it’s not. “It’s just business as usual.”
Obama Priorities Screwed Up – Has Only Spoken to General in Charge in Afghanistan Once in 70 days! 9/28/9 C-BS (C for Couric and BS for what she does) “60 Minutes” interviewed Gen. Stanley McChrystal yesterday who acknowledged he has only spoken to President Obama once in 70 days. While Obama continues to have time for the artificial priority of socialist health care, he doesn’t even have time to talk to the man in charge of the U.S. war in Afghanistan! This is a disgrace. Rush Limbaugh highlights the issue on his radio show today. McChrystal wants more troops. Still no response from Obama. UPDATE 9/30/9: It makes news on Fox today that the President will actually meet soon with the general in charge of the Afghan War! As for critics like us that say he needs to respond to the general’s request for more troops, White House Spinster Robert “Brothers” Gibbs says, “The American people deserve an assessment that’s beyond game playing.”
Obama’s Other Story was a Lie Too!! 9/29/9 – The President of the United States used two FAKE examples to push his ObamaCare Nightmare when addressing congress! We told you about the first one in a scandal dated 9/9/9, “Obama Lies to Congress # 8 -Obama Lied About Insurance Case!” Now, Fox News says the other story was a lie too!! “(The) President said a Texas woman about to have breast cancer surgery lost her health insurance because she didn’t disclose a case of acne to the insurer. That’s not what happened. One of President Barack Obama’s health care “horror stories” is about a woman who, he says, lost her health insurance on the verge of breast cancer surgery…Robin Lynn Beaton, 59, of Waxahachie, Texas, indeed had her insurance suspended and then terminated when she needed it the most. Hers is a cautionary tale about how an insurance company can act in a seemingly arbitrary manner to revoke coverage for lifesaving treatment. But not for the reasons Obama cites. She “was about to get a double mastectomy when her insurance company canceled her policy because she forgot to declare a case of acne,” he said in one telling. Beaton…lost it (insurance) because, when enrolling in the plan, she had not reported a previous heart condition and did not list her weight accurately…Beaton’s case is just one cited by Obama that mixes fact with fiction…Rep. Joe Barton, Beaton’s Republican congressman in Texas, fought the insurer until it restored her coverage, enabling her to get the surgery 10 weeks after it was postponed. She told The Associated Press she owes Barton and his aides her life. But somewhere along the way, Beaton’s case became a White House tale of an insurer canceling coverage because she forgot to report acne…But five days after (the policy) was finally canceled, (it was Republican) Barton (who) called the company president directly, said the lawmaker’s spokesman, Sean Brown. Among the points raised: The possibility of a news conference drawing attention to the case. Barton also said he might name a bill after Robin Beaton. Four hours later, Barton said, he got a call saying her insurance would be reinstated. Barton is a Conservative (American) who is no fan of Obama’s health care plans. UPDATE 9/30/9:Jake Tapper has more on this story!

Obama Flip Flops on Darfur & Sudan! – Disagrees with His Own U.N. Ambassador! 9/29/9 In an EXCLUSIVE story at ConservativeAmerican.org, we report that
Susan Rice on Darfur & Sudan
Barack Obama’s new policy on dealing with Darfur and the Sudan is in direct conflict with the views of his U.N. Ambassador, the self-described “cussing and spitting” Susan Rice. Rice wants Congress to authorize the use of force to end genocide in Darfur, including strikes against Sudanese military locations. To make that clear, she wants US military troops to be ready to attack forces taking part in genocide. She also is asking Obama to use the US Air Force to enforce a no fly zone over Darfur. Rice also wants NATO’s rapid response team and rapid deployment of UN Military Batallions! Meanwhile, The Washington Post reports today that President Obama has a new challenge: reconciling what he has said about Sudan and the situation in Darfur, with what he is actually doing about it!…becoming a test of how President Obama will reconcile a policy of engagement with earlier statements blasting a government he said had “offended the standards of our common humanity.”…U.S. diplomacy has remained mostly in the hands of Obama’s special envoy to Sudan, retired Air Force Maj. Gen. J. Scott Gration, who is pushing toward normalized relations with the only country in the world led by a president indicted on war-crimes charges” –ConservativeAmerican.org notes: I thought you lefties that were against the Iraq war wanted us to get in Darfur right away! Well, where are your liberal friends now?! Not in the White House!
Obama’s “Order” for Transparency Falling on Deaf Ears in Government 9/30/9 – Fox News & the Associated Press: “Obama’s first public act in office was to order more government transparency. He revoked Bush’s November 2001 executive order allowing past presidents to exert executive privilege to keep some of their White House papers private. Obama also instructed federal agencies to be more responsive to FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests…(Hopwever,) the Federal Aviation Administration, for example, tried to hide its database of bird strikes on airplanes from AP reporters probing the Hudson River landing of a plane crippled by a flock of geese, (AP CEO) Curley said. The agency “stalled the reporters while it looked for a way to put all the information beyond the reach of FOIA by imposing a special regulation.” Among the FAA’s concerns, he said, was that the reporting of bird strikes was unreliable and that any comparison of one airport with another would be unfair. Officials cited an exemption that allows the FAA to withhold safety and security information voluntarily submitted to aviation regulators. The information was “of deep and obvious interest to air travelers,” Curley told the committee.” While public pressure eventually led to the release of the information, clearly the FAA did not get the Obama memo to be more transparent!

President’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board Member in Trouble 9/30/9 Billionaire Penny Pritzker is on the Economic Recovery Advisory Board. She’s also on the board at Hyatt Hotels which just fired a bunch of housekeepers out East! David Whitford at Fortune Magazine writes: “Pritzker, whose cousin, Tom Pritzker, is chairman, and whose family controls most of the company’s stock…(Penny Pritzker) was national finance chair for the Obama campaign. Once a candidate for Commerce secretary, she settled for a seat on the President’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board…Here’s what Hyatt did: At 3 o’clock on a Monday afternoon, Aug. 31, managers at two Hyatt-owned hotels in Boston and one Hyatt-managed hotel in Cambridge, in a coordinated effort, summoned their entire housekeeping staffs, fired everybody on the spot, and immediately outsourced the jobs to a staffing company based in Atlanta…most of the 98 fired housekeepers were immigrant women; that some of them had been working for Hyatt for more than 20 years…Sounds like something the President’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board might want to look into.” – The Chicago Tribune noted, “The 2001 collapse of Hinsdale, Ill.-based Superior Bank, which her family co-owned, could be a potential source of controversy for Pritzker in confirmation hearings for any Cabinet nomination. The bank failed amid charges of fraud and mismanagement as it pursued a national business in subprime mortgage lending.”
Author says Bill Ayers helped with Obama’s Book 9/30/9 Breitbart.tv reports that author Christopher Andersen writes in his new book that Ayers helped with the Obama book, Dreams from my Father. “These oral histories, along with a partial manuscript and a truckload of notes, were given to Ayers. “Everyone knew they were friends and that they worked on various projects together,” another Hyde Park neighbor pointed out. “It was no secret. Why would it be? People liked them both.” In the end, Ayers’s contribution to Barack’s Dreams From My Father would be significant–so much so that the book’s language, oddly specific references, literary devices, and themes would bear a jarring similarity to Ayers’s own writing…thanks to help from the veteran writer Ayers, Barack would be able to submit a manuscript to his editors at Times Books.” — ConservativeAmerican.org comments: So much for Ayers just being a guy in Obama’s neighborhood! UPDATE 10/6/9: Ayers quips with Conservative blogger Anne Leary that he wrote the book…Says he’ll split the royalties with Leary if she can prove it.
Obama Appointment Scandal # 81 (& Lobbyist Scandal # 9) – Patrick Gaspard 9/30/9 Obama’s latest scandal is the naming of an SEIU Lobbyist who used to work for ACORN to work in the White House!! The American Spectator: “…longtime ACORN operative Patrick Gaspard…holds the title of White House political affairs director…Evidence shows that years before he joined the Obama administration, Gaspard was ACORN boss Bertha Lewis’s political director in New York…Gaspard registered as a federal lobbyist for SEIU on Oct. 22, 2007…Erick Erickson of the website RedState…reported that Gaspard figures prominently in Lewis’s rolodex, which Erickson has in his possession.” UPDATE 10/2/9 The Liberal Leaning so-called “Politifact” website (which the libs like to point out won a Pulitzer Prize) says Gaspard was NOT tied to ACORN. They also claim to have a list of Obama’s broken promises and lies. They miss so many of them, the site is a joke. Our site gets criticized for listing too many. However, we challenge you to find one that isn’t true. We back up our information with names, dates, sources, links, data and information.
New Obama Book Coming March 2010!
Obama’s War Money for Earmarks Scandal 10/1/9 – While Obama promised to get rid of pork and “earmarks” for special projects, he allows 59 pork projects from money that is meant to be used to help our troops! In the middle of two wars, he is diverting troop money to special projects in the districts of republicans and democrats. From CNN
Obama Apology Tour # 10 – Bashes American in Speech to IOC! 10/2/9 Respected Liberal Juan Williams on Fox News last night reported that President Obama bashed American and previous administrations in his speech to try to convince the International Olympic Committee that the U.S.A. is okay again, now that HE is the President! Watch it from YouTube!
Karl Rove said Obama made the Chicago bid for the Olympics all about HIMSELF instead of about Chicago and the U.S.A.! Michelle Obama also made the speech all about HER. Her bizarre behavior in delivering a speech about the death of her father as a way to help get the Olympics to come to Chicago (??!!), may have cost the U.S. the 2016 games!
Michelle Obama Makes up Her “Best Childhood Memories!” 10/2/9 I’m not sure the Obama’s have the ability to tell the truth. I don’t think it is in them. Michelle Obama said one of her best childhood memories was sitting on her Daddy’s lap and watching Carl Lewis win in the Olympics….She was 20 at the time and Rush Limbaugh says her father was already infirm by then. Watch for yourself…
Obama Increases Health Care Costs for the Military!! 10/4/9 The Biloxi-Gulfport, Mississippi Sun Herald reports: “Defense health officials didn’t do the Obama administration any favor Wednesday when they announced a “small” increase in the daily fee that military retirees under 65, their families and covered survivors must pay for inpatient care in civilian hospitals under Tricare Standard starting Oct. 1. The jump, in fact, for working age retirees and their families is $110 per day, a 20.6 percent increase. Tricare Standard is the military’s fee-for-service insurance option…Families of active duty members who use Standard for civilian hospital stays will see a more modest increase in their daily charge, from $15.65 a day to $16.30, or $25 per admission, whichever is greater. The increase for retirees stunned and angered at least one service association.“This shocking announcement is extremely disappointing, given your public assurances earlier this year that the Defense Department would not be proposing any Tricare fee increases for [fiscal] 2010,” retired Navy Vice Adm. Norbert R. Ryan Jr., president of the Military Officers Association of America told Defense Secretary Robert Gates. Ryan’s protest letter was sent hours after Tricare officials unveiled their new inpatient fees for Standard.
Obama’s Broken Timeline Promises 10/5/9 Caroline Myss writing at the ultra-liberal Huffington Post says President obama has broken timeline promises more than once. “he has made the mistake more than once — the foolish mistake — of promising to complete projects by certain dates, like closing Gitmo by January 2010 and signing off on the Health Care Reform Bill by the summer break. (Now the date is moved to Thanksgiving.) All those broken promises do is give the Republicans yet another failure they can use in the next presidential election. And he has yet to show that he has the capacity to lead with fire in his gut.” – Ouch. Pretty tough words from his friends!
Obama Regulating Bloggers 10/5/9 – President Obama is having the Federal Trade Commission regulate bloggers. It’s a small move, but the first foot in the door of controlling blog content…and that’s a bad thing. Fox News says the new rules will require: “writers on the Web to clearly disclose any freebies or payments they get from companies for reviewing their products. The FTC said Monday its commissioners voted 4-0 to approve the final Web guidelines, which had been expected. Violating the rules, which take effect Dec. 1, could bring fines up to $11,000 per violation. Bloggers or advertisers also could face injunctions and be ordered to reimburse consumers for financial losses stemming from inappropriate product reviews.”
Obama: The White Coats are Coming! The White Coats are Coming! 10/5/9 CBS News reports that Obama staged a White House rally today with doctors who were all given white coats to wear so they’d look more like…well, doctors! “The White House said the group “Doctors for America,” which advocates health care reform, distributed the labs coats to the doctors…Republican National Committee emailed reporters a Wall Street Journal editorial from three former presidents of the American Medical Association in which they complained that by inviting only supporters to the event Mr. Obama “missed an opportunity to learn more about the real issues facing patients and doctors and to formulate a plan that truly puts patients in control with doctors as trusted advisers. One easy reform would be to enable individuals to buy policies offered in any state, not just where they live,” they write. “This will enhance competition. But more government-run health insurance will only lead to disaster.”
Obama Telling Seven Companies How Much they Can Pay Executives! 10/6/9 In a grotesque overstepping of authority, the socialist Obama administration is planning to tell seven companies how much they can pay top executives and how they can be paid! What happened to our America?! Fox News reports on Obama’s Pay Czar, Kenneth Feinberg: “Feinberg is expected to issue by mid-October his determination on compensation packages for 175 of the most-highly compensated executives and employees at the seven firms he oversees. The companies are: American International Group Inc., Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc., General Motors Co., GMAC Financial Services Inc., Chrysler LLC and Chrysler Financial.The move will further reshape pay at those firms and could complicate efforts by some of those seven companies to attract top executives and employees.The issue could be particularly acute for Bank of America, which is searching for a successor to Kenneth Lewis, who announced plans to resign as chief executive of the company last week.” ConservativeAmerican.org notes: This is an outrageous attack on capitalism from the White House! UPDATE 10/21/9:Fox News reports, “The Obama administration plans to order companies that received the most money from the $700 billion Wall Street bailout to slash pay to top executives, a government source told Fox Business Network. Under the plan, the seven companies that received the most government aid will have to cut annual salaries by about 90 percent from last year for the 25 highest-paid executives.
Obama Appointment Scandal # 82 -Susan Crawford 10/6/9 – Interenet Czar Susan Crawford is yet another Obama appointment with ties to the scandal-plaqued ACORN group! Phil Kerpen writes at Fox News, “As Bill Collier of Freedomist has reported, Crawford has known ties to ACORN, which is one of the participating organizations of her “OneWebDay” project. Crawford self-consciously modeled OneWebDay on Earth Day and the radical environmental agenda that it propelled forward. As Crawford explained her mission to The Wall Street Journal in April: “We should do a better job as a nation of making sure fast, affordable broadband is as ubiquitous as electricity, water, snail mail, or any other public utility.” In other words, the agenda of her organization is to transform access to the Internet into a government entitlement project, with all the necessary government intrusion and control in order guarantee it to everyone—in the world. Not surprisingly, listed alongside on the OneWebDay participating organizations list is a group called Free Press, which is the biggest advocacy organization pushing the Obama administration to adopt sweeping regulations of the Internet. Free Press was founded by Robert McChesney, an avowed Marxist who is Washington’s leading advocate of so-called network neutrality regulations who recently argued—on a Web site called SocialistProject.ca—that this type of Internet regulation is a prerequisite for a socialist revolution: “Instead of waiting for the revolution to happen, we learned that unless you make significant changes in the media, it will be vastly more difficult to have a revolution.” Crawford and McChesney apparently have the full support of the Obama administration and an FCC that is determined to move toward transforming the Internet into a Washington-controlled utility as quickly as possible. The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Julius Genachowski, recently announced his pursuit of precisely the regulations they want.
Obama Appointment Scandal # 83 -Richard Holbrooke 10/6/9 Obama’s Afghanistan Czar is Richard Holbrooke, a former Hillary Clinton campaign adviser and previously served as an Assistant Secretary of State and a U.N. Ambassador. According to Portfolio.com, he’s also one of those to get a special real estate deal from Countrywide! “(Holbrooke) received loans from Countrywide Financial through a little-known program that waived points, lender fees, and company borrowing rules for prominent people…known in company documents and emails as “F.O.A.’s”—Friends of Angelo, a reference to Countrywide chief executive Angelo Mozilo.” UPDATE 10/24/9: “Caving to months of pressure from congressional Republicans, the chairman of the House oversight committee agreed Friday to subpoena documents from Countrywide Financial Corporation about its VIP loan program that offered special mortgages to members of Congress and other influential figures. Sens. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., and Kent Conrad, D-N.D., both received loans from the so-called “Friends of Angelo” program, a reference to the company’s former CEO Angelo Mozilo, now charged with insider trading and securities fraud by the SEC.”
Michelle Obama Created a Chicago Health Plan to REDUCE Service to “Poor, Black, Medicare and Medicaid Patients!!!” 10/7/9 GetLiberty.org has a very interesting story up about the first lady getting involved in creating a new
Michelle Obama's Plan to Avoid Serving the Poor!!!
health care plan. No, it’s not Hillary Clinton this time…it’s Michelle Obama. From writers Richard McCarthy and Carter Clews: “Several years ago a wealthy, well-respected Chicago hospital realized that it had a problem: Too many poor, black, Medicare and Medicaid patients were “seeping” into the hospital’s emergency room. Since it has been illegal for two decades to just drop indigent patients off at competitors’ hospitals, what could the University of Chicago Medical Center do? Enter Michelle Obama. To solve this problem, Susan Sher, Vice President for Legal and Government Affairs, hired her friend Michelle Obama in 2002. Mrs. Obama was hired as Executive Director for Community Affairs. Michelle Obama immediately understood the problem. She declared, “The world is seeping in, and our salvation will be the success of our partners” (i.e., alternative, less hoity-toity medical facilities). To deal with the “seepage” problem, Mrs. Obama helped create the so-called…“Urban Health Initiative”. This program aimed to reduce the number of non-paying patients utilizing UCMC’s emergency room. And it did so by instituting a highly selective program that redirects poor patients to other medical facilities with decidedly less advanced technology – not to mention, less prestigious clientele — than UCMC…Upon entrance to the UCMC emergency room, patients are now greeted by a “patient advocate” whose job it is to convince them to seep over to some other, less exclusive medical facility. Free short-bus shuttles are even provided to haul the willing off. To add insult to injury, this program was started with a grant from the Department of Health and Human Services. Which means the working poor are helping to finance their own neglect.” You have to read the rest of their story! No wonder she has never been proud of her country!
Obama Gives A Million Bucks to ACORN through Homeland Security! 10/7/9 The Rush Limbaugh Show reports, “Washington Times. I wasn’t making it up. “Nearly $1 million in Homeland Security funding typically earmarked for fire departments has been awarded to ACORN, despite a clear signal from Congress that it intends to cut off federal funding to [ACORN]. The grant to ACORN’s Louisiana office became public [five days ago], less than three weeks after the House and Senate voted to cut off ACORN funding after employees were caught on video advising a fake prostitute and pimp on scams.”
Obama Nobel Peace Prize Scandal 10/9/9 The outrageously liberal Nobel Prize Committee gives the Peace Prize to Obama for 12 days as President and zero accomplishments!!! Obama said he doesn’t deserve the prize. He also asked when he gets the check that goes with the prize! “I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many transformative figures that have been honored by this prize,” he said.Obama will go to Oslo in December to accept the honor, which includes a $1.4 million award. — ConservativeAmerican.org notes: BTW, if Sarah Palin as Governor of Alaska had won, she would not have been able to accept the prize money because of strong ethical standards. Can Obama accept this prize money?!
Obama Backs Down on Promise to Respect and Protect Freedom of Conscience on Abortion! 10/9/9 Ed Morrissey at Michelle Malkin’s Hot Air website, and the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty report that the promise Obama made during his commencement talk at Notre Dame is already being broken. “The president of a small Catholic college in North Carolina is in a standoff with the Obama administration’s Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) over demands that the school must offer contraception coverage in its employee health insurance. Belmont Abbey College President William K. Thierfelder says he will shut down his school before doing so, citing the Catholic Church’s prohibition on contraception and First Amendment religious liberty rights. On September 10, the college retained the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty to appeal an August 5 ruling by the EEOC, charging the school with discrimination. In a letter to Thierfelder, the EEOC stated the college “is discriminating based on gender because only females take oral prescription contraceptives. By denying coverage, men are not affected, only women.” Thierfelder objected with a letter posted on the school’s website, saying: “Belmont Abbey College rejects the notion that by following the moral teachings of the Catholic Church we are discriminating against anyone.… We are simply and honestly exercising the freedom of religion that is protected by the Constitution.” – - The Gateway Pundit story on forcing abortion on Catholics is here.

Obama’s Press Spinster Lies about Abortion Coverage in the ObamaCare Nightmare! 10/10/9 Kathryn Lopez catches another White House distortion: “A reporter referred to a letter from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, addressed to lawmakers: “So far the health reform bills considered in the committee, including the new Senate Finance Committee bill, have not met the president’s challenge of barring the use of federal dollars for abortion.” The reporter asked: “Is that statement wrong?” Gibbs responded: “Well, I don’t want to get me in trouble at church, but I would mention there’s a law that precludes the use of federal funds for abortion. That isn’t going to be changed in these health care bills.” The reporter pressed: “There have been, though, several amendments that would explicitly bar abortions, that would therefore reject it …” Gibbs insisted: “Again, there’s a fairly well documented federal law that prevents it.” Gibbs was being dishonest. He was clearly talking about the Hyde Amendment, a 1976 provision that bans federal funding of abortions for Medicaid recipients; it was attached as a rider on a Medicaid allocation bill. The reporter and the bishops, of course, were not talking about appropriations bills. They were focused on the health-care reform revolution upon which President Obama has set so much of his reputation…If the so-called “public option” plan or “affordability credits,” which are premium subsidies, come to pass, abortion funding will be very much on the table, and possibly part of the law. In fact, in an amendment added to the predominant House bill, federal funding for abortion is explicitly required in the credits scenario.”
Harry Reid Says Obama is Lying About the Cost of Health Care Reform! 10/15/9 – Democart Harry Reid goofed up recently admitting the cost of the ObamaCare Nightmare is a full $2-Trillion dollars! If that’s true, it means that President Obama lied when Reason.com reports he said, “Add it all up, and the plan I’m proposing will cost around $900 billion over ten years,” he said, trying hard to sound like those numbers weren’t pulled out of Joe Biden’s pants, and won’t be dwarfed by actual costs within a year or two.”
Is Obama Misleading Americans about How Many Troops are in Afghanistan? 10/16/9 – Lorne Gunter at the National Post reports, “Obama has sent 13,000 more troops to Afghanistan than he has admitted. In addition to the 21,000 extra combat troops the White House has announced since the inauguration, 13,000 engineers, doctors, medics, nurses, intelligence experts and military police have also been deployed at Mr. Obama’s command. Since soldiers cannot fight without roads and bridges, hospitals and battlefield surgeons and up-to-the-minute knowledge of the enemy’s position, it is useless to claim–as the White House has — that these “support personnel” should not be counted. Of course they should, just as cooks and clerks and mechanics are…imagine if former president Bush had been caught sending thousands of extra troops without admitting he was doing so. The hue and cry would have been deafening. “Bush lied, people died,” screamed a bumper sticker popular among Democrats during the Iraq war. Well, President Obama has now been caught in a lie that will lead to deaths, but instead of outrage, he gets one of the world’s most prestigious prizes –for making peace…giving it to the commander-in-chief of an army that is misleading its citizenry about the size of its deployment into a war zone to prevent negative political fallout.”
Obama Angers Democrats with Broken New Orleans Promise 10/16/9 – Liberal columnist Eugene Robinson notes in the Washington Post, “President Obama’s brief display of drive-by compassion Thursday in New Orleans was, for me, by far the worst outing of his presidency thus far — and the biggest disappointment. I covered Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath…I had trouble sleeping. I couldn’t forget the scenes I’d witnessed or the stories I’d heard. More than a year later, I covered a Senate subcommittee hearing in New Orleans on the lagging reconstruction effort. I watched as a young senator who was thought to be considering a presidential run — that would be Barack Obama — used his Harvard Law skills to eviscerate Bush-era officials for not doing enough to rebuild and revive the Gulf Coast region. So it was strange and disheartening that Obama would wait nine months to make his first visit to New Orleans as president. It was stunning that he would spend only a few hours on the ground and that he wouldn’t set foot in Mississippi or Alabama at all. But worst of all was the way he seemed to dismiss the idea that his administration could and should be doing much more.” ConservativeAmerican.org: Ouch! And that’s all from a democrat!
Obama Pretends to be for Nuclear Power and Drilling for Oil! Actions Speak Louder than Words. 10/16/9 From the Green Hell Blog: “President Obama…“What I think we need to do is increase our domestic energy
Sage Grouse from VoiceForTheWild.org
production,” Obama said in response to a question about environmental policy from an audience member. “I’m in favor of finding environmentally sound ways to tap our oil and our natural gas.” Obama also mentioned his support for nuclear energy, one of two key points of possible Senate compromise as lawmakers look to pass a comprehensive energy and global warming bill…”There’s no reason why technologically we can’t employ nuclear energy in a safe and effective way,” Obama said. “Japan does it and France does it and it doesn’t have greenhouse gas emissions, so it would be stupid for us not to do that in a much more effective way.” Actions, however, tell the tale. The New York Times reported last week that: The Department of the Interior has frozen oil and gas development on 60 of 77 contested drilling sites in Utah…alleging…the process of leasing the land was rushed and badly flawed… including possible damage to the habitat of sage grouse, which is being considered for endangered species protection, and to avoid the dust and noise pollution associated with drilling operations. Sounds pretty lame to us…With respect to nuclear, President Pinocchio’s friends in the environmental movement…sent this letter…asking them to reject streamlining the licensing process for nuclear plants. Apparently, they like the status quo — no new nuke plants have been built in more than 30 years. While President Pinocchio postures by saying that he is for drilling and nukes, he knows his administration minions and political allies will kill both. “
Obama’s Outrageous Spending to Save One Job for One Year: $533,000! 10/16/9 CourciBS News & ProPublica report: “Let’s start with the 30,000 jobs themselves. The federal contracts in question represented $16 billion in stimulus spending. Assuming the number of created or saved jobs reported by each contract recipient was accurate—which, as we’ve reported before, is still an open question—that breaks down to $533,000 for each job. That’s more than five times the projection of the president’s own Council of Economic Advisers , which estimated in May that every $92,136 in government spending would create one job for one year…but wait: The data released this week covers only the jobs directly created by federal stimulus money so far. It doesn’t cover indirect jobs — the people who make the materials that contractors need to complete their project, or make the sandwich when a construction worker buys lunch from the proverbial roadside diner. So, if the $16 billion in federal stimulus contracts generated 30,383 direct jobs, how many indirect jobs were created or saved? We asked the White House, which told us they believe that for each direct job created or saved, there is one indirect job. Assuming that’s right, that $16 billion created or saved some 60,000 jobs — which still clocks in at $267,000 per person..”
Obama Administration Bad Mouths Union Leader for Speaking Up!!- 10/18/9 – From ultra-liberal FireDogLake: “Gerry McEntee is president of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME). He leads one of the largest unions in America and has been one of the most vocal advocates for progressive health care reform. He is one of the few establishment figures willing to openly challenge Obama for repeatedly breaking his word in regards to health care reform… “We have had just about enough of his gratuitous slaps,” said a senior White House official Friday, calling the politically charged language “outrageous and unacceptable” from an ally — even from one that had, the official noted, devoted substantial resources to health care efforts. “He’s doing his members a real disservice,” said the official, who said that while all other labor leaders had been careful to keep their opposition to elements of health care proposals modulated and largely inside the tent, McEntee was “beyond the pale.” That’s interesting because the progressive community thinks Obama’s broken promises and secret deals are the real gratuitous slaps. Having a top progressive reform priority, allowing Medicare to save billions by directly negotiating drug prices, sacrificed in a backroom deal for campaign ads from PhRMA is beyond the pale. The question is who is gratuitously slapping whom? Is it the Obama administration, which with repeated broken promises stabbed labor unions in the back? Or is it McEntee for simply calling bull**** when he sees it?”
Obama Administration Failing To Make
Obama and Sebelius Can Smooch - But Can't Get You the Flu Shot!
Sure Those Who Want Flu Shot Can Get One! 10/18/9 – We’ve been warned for many months about this flu season and especially the H1N1 Swine Flu outbreak. So, why didn’t Obama’s Health & Abortion Services Director, Kathleen Sebelius, make sure there were enough flu shots for those who wanted them? If this had been Bush in the White House, the media would be all over it calling it a “failure” of his administration. Since their own guy is in power, however, the manufacturers are quietly blamed. Even for the normal flue, vaccination clinics are being canceled and doctors are telling patients to call back. There isn’t enough vaccine available! For H1N1, more kids have already died from that this early in the flu season than normally die in an entire year…and Sebelius doesn’t have any shots available to the general public yet. The earliest doses are being handed out to health care workers in a few locations. Most simply can’t get the shot yet. Obama and Sebelius have known about this for months, but did not do enough to prepare and make sure Americans that wanted shots were protected with vaccines. It is a scandal, but you won’t hear much about it.
Obama Appointment Scandal # 84 – Anita Dunn, Another Communist Lover Working for the White House! 10/19/9 Van Jones wasn’t the only commie lover working for Obama! It turns out his Anti-Fox News Czar Anita Dunn always looks to Chairman Mao of China for inspiration!
Dunn lied to Fox News in a statement issued today saying she was trying to use “irony” when saying she loved Mao and Mother Theresa! Yeah, right. What a liar! It all goes back to Scandal # 3 on this list, where we quote His Majesty King Barack, “I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and the Structural Feminists.” The entire Obama Presidency is a lie. He lied to the American people about who he was and what he believed in order to get elected. Now he is trying to destroy what makes our nation great by elevating socialist-democrats, marxists and racists to positions of high authority! President Obama’s madness must be defeated. That must be done legally, at the ballot box. Dunn also bragged about Controlling the Press during the 2008 Presidential Campaign. Her credibility is shot…
UPDATE 11/10/9: Washington Post: “White House communications director Anita Dunn will step down from her post at the end of the month and Dan Pfeiffer, her deputy, will take over, according to sources familiar with the move.”
VP Biden Announces we are in a Depression! 10/19/9 Remember the news stories last week about “Joe Biden is Back?” He certainly is back! Listen to what he said now from ABC News’ Karen Travers:
ABC's Karen Travers
“In recent weeks, Vice President Joe Biden has said that the U.S. economy has been in what he calls “a great recession” and has stressed that it is not a depression, echoing the general consensus of the nation’s economists. But today the vice president took some liberty with the economic terms to illustrate the continuing struggles of the unemployed in the United States. For the millions of Americans without a job, “it’s a depression,” Biden said. “My grandpop used to say — there was a suburb of Scranton called Minooka. He said, ‘When the guy in Minooka’s out of work, it’s an economic slowdown. When your brother- in-law’s out of work, it’s a recession. When you’re out of work, it’s a depression,’” Biden said. “Well, it’s a depression — it’s a depression for millions of Americans, through no fault of their own,” he said.
Obama Administration Involved in Bank of America Scandal! 10/20/9 The Washington Independent: “Bush administration officials have been under fire for effectively forcing a merger last December between Bank of America and Merrill Lynch without informing BoA shareholders of the financial dire straights Merrill was in at the time. But yesterday the Obama administration was pulled more deeply into the scandal as well, after newly unveiled BoA documents suggested that both incoming Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and incoming senior economic adviser Larry Summers had endorsed the merger as well. From The Washington Post: Bank of America chief executive Kenneth D. Lewis told the company’s board that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told him “that Geithner and, in addition, Larry Summers, were both on board with the transaction,” according to Dec. 22 talking points prepared for a conference call. Both the White House and the Treasury Department have denied that Geithner and Summers were influential in pushing the merger, even if they knew about it, the Post reported. But their involvement at any level might explain why the Obama administration’s Securities Exchange Commission was so light in penalizing BoA for a failure to tell its shareholders about $3.6 billion in bonuses Merrill was poised to pay its employees around the time of the merger. The $33 million SEC fine — which effectively charged company shareholders for the alleged crimes of company executives — was thrown out by a federal judge last month.”
Obama’s Own Defense Secretary says the President Needs to Make up His Mind! 10/20/9 The time to make a decision on Afghan troop levels has come and can’t wait for Afghan elections to be straightened out. The President sent Rahm Emanuel and John Kerry out last weekend to say he would not make a decision (it would be “foolish”) on troop levels until after the Afghan elections. That trial balloon apparently crashed. Defense Secretary Robert Gates now says the administration can’t “sit on our hands” and do nothing and should not wait for the election to decide on troop levels.
Senator: Obama Administration uses Taxpayer Funded Website to Push Socialist ObamaCare Nightmare!! 10/21/9 National Review Online: “Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is raising concerns that a Department of Health and Human Services Web site that urges visitors to send an e-mail to President Barack Obama praising his health care reform plan may violate rules against government-funded propaganda. The Web page is accessed through a “state your support” button featured prominently on the HHS Web site and carries a disclaimer that the Web site is maintained by HHS. In a letter sent to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius Tuesday, Grassley warned that “any possible misuse of appropriated funds by the executive branch to engage in publicity or propaganda in support of an Administration priority is a matter that must be investigated and taken seriously,” noting that in 2005 Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) argued that “the use of official funds for similar activities were ‘underhanded tactics’ and that these tactics ‘are not worthy of our great democracy.’”

Senator: Obama Administration Using Nixon-style Enemies list! 10/21/9 U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander “accused the Obama White House on Wednesday of using Nixon-style tactics to vilify political opponents and members of the media, suggesting the administration is on the brink of compiling its own “enemies list.”…(Alexander) urged President Obama and his aides to dial back their attacks on White House critics…joined by Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., cited a litany of instances where he said Obama was inappropriately targeting groups — from the Chamber of Commerce to Fox News — just as President Nixon did four decades ago. “I have an uneasy feeling only 10 months into this new administration that we’re beginning to see the symptoms of this same kind of animus developing in the Obama administration,” Alexander said. Gregg also expressed concerns and suggested Obama was “Nixifying” the White House. Alexander, chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, pointed to the administration’s public criticism of the health insurance industry, Republicans in Congress, the Chamber of Commerce and Fox News.
Obama’s Empty ObamaCare Promise! – Turns out 73-Million May Not Be Covered! 10/21/9 Google News and the Associated Press: “Despite promises by President Barack Obama, more than 70 million Americans who have
Democrat Rockefeller
health insurance through their jobs could be open to higher costs or denials of some coverage under a leading overhaul plan making its way through Congress. That’s because large employers that directly assume the cost and risk of health coverage for their workers — including Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Caterpillar Inc. and Xerox — wouldn’t be subject to the same rules and restrictions that would be imposed on health insurers in the measure approved this month by the Senate Finance Committee…”I want to make very clear that we cannot promise the American people that the insurance reforms they have been hearing so much about will benefit everyone, when the reality is that this bill leaves out” up to 55 percent, or 73 million people covered by such arrangements, said Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W. Va.”
Obama’s Administration, brought to you by Goldman Sachs 10/21/9 American Banking News is asking why so many Goldman Sachs people are high up in Team Obama. “…Yet another executive from Goldman Sachs was installed in a major financial regulatory position of the Obama administration raised even more red flags on the growing and apparently disturbing relationship directly between the administration and Goldman Sachs. Adam Storch, vice president in Goldman Sachs’ Business Intelligence Group, is the latest to be added to the Obama financial team, picked to be the COO of the enforcement division of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), a new position at the SEC…Other high level financial positions held in the Obama administration by former Goldman Sachs executives are Neel Kashkari, heading the TARP bailout; Mark Patterson, Chief of Staff for Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner; Gary Gensler, top executive at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission; and finally Goldman has its top lobbyist, Michael Paese, (as) Rep. Barney Frank’s top aide, (Frank)…is the chair of the House Financial Services Committee…The conflicts of interest here are so obvious that it must be concluded the administration thinks it can get away with doing whatever they want, as well as the executives of Goldman Sachs which now has a spiderweb of entangling alliances with the upper echelons of the government. I can’t see that in any way being a good thing.” – Bloomberg.com reports on other Goldman Sachs execs working for Obama and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. “The advisers include Gene Sperling, who last year took in $887,727 from Goldman Sachs and $158,000 for speeches mostly to financial companies, including the firm run by accused Ponzi scheme mastermind R. Allen Stanford…Even Geithner’s chief of staff Patterson, who was a full-time lobbyist at the firm, did not make as much as Sperling did on a part-time basis. Patterson reported earning $637,492 from Goldman Sachs last year…The Wall Street ties are troubling to some advocates for investors. “Where is the transparency this administration promised?” asked Lynn Turner, a former chief accountant at the SEC. “You just wonder, who is representing middle Americans?” UPDATE 10/22/9: Allison Kilkenny at True/Slant reports, “Responding to the furor over executive pay at companies bailed out with taxpayer money, the Obama administration will order the firms that received the most aid to slash compensation to their highest-paid employees…[The plan] would have no direct impact on firms that did not receive government bailouts or that have already repaid loans they received from Washington…One of those firms that has repaid their loans is Goldman Sachs, the group of suit-wearing pirates who received $12.9 billion of taxpayer money courtesy of former Goldman Sachs CEO and former Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson, during the AIG bailout. During the bailouts, the firm had access to enormous amounts of cheap money from the government because they converted to a bank holding company, which made them eligible for $28 billion in federally backed loans, so their cost of capital was/is very low. Additionally, Goldman made private equity investments in nonfinancial firms like its deal with Geely Automotive Holdings in China. Goldman took their cheap money and lent it back to the economy at higher rates, making a profit on the spread. The sweetest part of the deal was that the firm’s main competitors, Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, no longer exist so Goldman completely dominates the market. Cheap Money Courtesy Of Taxpayers + Foreign Investments + No Competition = Cha-Ching! It’s no wonder Goldman was able to pay back its loans so quickly, while making a very handsome profit in the process. This was all done under the pageant of “What Is Good For Goldman Is Good For America,” but that of course isn’t true. All Goldman did was take the money and turn it into bonuses.”
White House Lie: Claims President Obama Didn’t Know Pay Czar Would be Cutting Pay! 10/22/9 – As we told you in Scandal # 735, pay Czar Kenneth Feinberg plans to slash pay at 7 huge firms that took government bailouts…by as much as 90%! Now, the White House Claims Obama had no idea! “One official told Fox News that Feinberg from the start had the independent authority to work with companies and make such a call. Obama was never required to sign off before final decisions were made.” Obama hired this man to slash corporate exec salaries. There’s no way he can claim now that he did not know this was going to happen! Slashing executive pay at companies that took taxpayer funded bailouts seems to make us feel good, however we have to remember that we are in new uncharted territory here. Government dictating pay does not happen in a capitalist society. It does not happen in free market capitalism. It is not permitted in the United States Constitution! No where does it give the President the authority to have czars or to limit the pay businesses offer. This kind of thing only happens with fascist dictators and socialist or marxist governments. This is what happens when the media fails to properly vett a Presidential candidate. This is what happens when Conservative American voices are not heard or believed. The majority of voting Americans chose Barack Hussein Obama (mmmm, mmmm, mmmm) as the nation’s first socialist president. His plans, his actions, his unconstitutional abuses of power must be stopped.
Obama’s Fox News Gaffe – Gives Even More Bad Examples! 10/22/9 President Obama told an NBC News reporter that “The American people are a lot more interested in what we’re doing to create jobs, or how we’re handling the situation in Afghanistan.” Ha! What he’s doing to “create jobs??!!” 49 of 50 states have lost jobs since his Obama Stimulus Plan. So what is he doing to create jobs? Nothing! How he’s “handling” the situation in Afghanistan??!! You mean by ignoring it? Two months now since his general requested 40,000 more troops and still no answer. So what is he doing to handle Afghanistan? Nothing! Pretty bad examples there, Mr. President.
Chicago Style Rahm Emanuel Lies about Bush-Cheney and Afghanistan 10/22/9 Former Vice President Dick Cheney has pointed out a lie he says was told by White House Chief of Street Gang Staff, Rahm Emanuel. Fox News reports, “Cheney said the Bush administration handed Obama’s transition team a policy review of the Afghan war conducted last fall to meet the new challenges posed by the Taliban. “They asked us not to announce our findings publicly, and we agreed, giving them the benefit of our work and the benefit of the doubt,” Cheney said. Cheney’s comments countered a recent claim by White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel that the Obama administration had to form an Afghan war strategy from scratch because the Bush administration hadn’t asked any key questions about the war and left it “adrift.”
Obama Appointment Scandal # 85 – Craig Becker 10/22/9 Rino Johny MaverDick McCain placed a hold on Obama’s pick for the National Labor Relations Board, Craig Becker. Fox News reports McCain is “saying Craig Becker’s controversial writings and legal advocacy work have outraged critics who say he supports unions at the expense of employer free speech and American businesses…the NLRB (is) a five-member independent government agency that supervises union organization campaigns and investigates and remedies unfair labor practices…Becker, who currently serves as associate general counsel to the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), a labor union representing about 1.8 million workers, was approved by a 15-8 vote Wednesday in the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. But McCain and a slew of business groups are raising questions over articles and academic journals written by Becker on the very labor law he would work to interpret if confirmed to the board. Critics say Becker’s writings reflect views that support restricting employers’ free speech rights and limiting the ability of employers to converse with their employees during union representation campaigns. “Mr. Becker is on the record supporting suppression of employer free speech,” McCain spokeswoman Brook Buchanan said.” – ConservativeAmerican.org’s take: Yet another Obama pal from the democrat party’s SEIU! The fact Obama continues to make controversial appointments even after scandals involving Van Jones and numerous other appointments shows he simply doesn’t care. He wants his radical extremist friends in positions of power. UPDATE 2/11/10: Obama is considering a recess appointment to put Becker on the NLRB despite objections from many in the U.S. Senate.
