Let him, um, be clear

Just don’t expect transparency when it comes to his, ahem, justice department shipping automatic rifles and grenades to Mexican drug gangs.

Behind Uncle Barry’s warning to the Supremes

“The president and his followers want to be able to labor on our behalf, and to make all of our important decisions.  Many of them, like their European counterparts, firmly believe this is the best way to achieve the common good.

“Others are driven by disgust with contemporary America and the American people, and see themselves acting to save the world from our own worst instincts and impulses.  Still others are elitists who despise the common people, who are so plainly unworthy of respect.

“Whatever the motivation, the ‘solution’ is to restrict the freedom of Americans in order that the superior beings who currently control the executive branch can dictate policy.”

Fortunately, it’s the job of the Supremes to approve or disapprove executive branch policy. Whatever Uncle Barry thinks about it.

Indeed, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans got a little riled.

Obamalot’s dwindling approval

Fifty-seven percent of Independents now disapprove of what he’s doing. And their votes are likely to determine the election. They certainly have a lot to be concerned about, as Sarah (yes, that Sarah) outlines:

“…a debt crisis that has us hurtling towards a Greek-style collapse, entitlement programs going bankrupt, a credit downgrade for the first time in our history, a government takeover of the health care industry that makes care more expensive and puts a rationing panel of faceless bureaucrats between you and your doctor (aka a “death panel”), $4 and $5 gas at the pump exacerbated by an anti-drilling agenda that rejects good paying energy sector jobs and makes us more dependent on dangerous foreign regimes,

“a war in Afghanistan that seems unfocused and unending, a global presidential apology tour that’s made us look feeble and ridiculous, a housing market in the tank, the longest streak of high unemployment since World War II, private-sector job creators and industry strangled by burdensome regulations and an out-of-control Obama EPA, an attack on the Constitutional protection of religious liberty,

“an attack on private industry in right-to-work states, crony capitalism run amok in an administration in bed with their favored cronies to the detriment of genuine free market capitalism, green energy pay-to-play kickbacks to Obama campaign donors, and a Justice Department still stonewalling on a bungled operation that armed violent Mexican drug lords and led to the deaths of hundreds of innocent people.”

If only that 57 percent holds until November. Probably won’t, though. I figure most of them voted for him to begin with because of the novelty, i.e., his skin color. They certainly didn’t know much about his radical preferences because big media hid it from them. And none of that has changed.

Plus big media (his court media, after all) will be banging their tin drums for him and against the Republicans just like they did in ’08. Have the Independents figured out yet what shills they are? Gad, I hope so.

The latest edict from our federal overlords

Texas has long required presentation of a driver’s license, or other photo i.d., in order to vote. Prove you’re a citizen with a right to the privilege. What could be more sensible?

Not to Obamalot’s “justice” department. You know, the guys who shipped automatic rifles and hand grenades to Mexican drug lords and are still lying about it? They claim voter i.d. discriminates—presumably against felons and illegal immigrants.

Texas pols will complain and threaten not to comply, but the feds will threaten to take away highway construction money from the second largest state and that will be that. Land of the fee, home of the slave.

The economy’s problems are just bad luck

Well, we knew it couldn’t be Obozo’s fault. He’s still blaming Bush for everything bad that happens.

And when that doesn’t work, he just flat-out lies about it. Including his new corporate tax break. He’ll match that by quietly tripling taxes on stock dividends which will ultimately hurt every retiree drawing income from a 401K. Yeah, that’ll fix consumer spending.

Had enough hope and change yet? Me, too.

Wanting the rich less rich

I won’t bother to see the Meryl Streep portrayal of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. It can’t be accurate or fair given the political predilections of Hollywood.

Obozo, meanwhile, with his unprecedented practice of class warfare, clearly wants the rich to be less rich—at least the ones who aren’t his cronies. But, as the real Thatcher so eloquently puts it here, that’s only a surefire prescription for making the poor poorer.
