The Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations

In 2005, the Bush Administration was pilloried by the Media for its (mis)handling of the Hurricane Katrina disaster.  The Media-generated perception was that Bush was refusing to press the “magic button” that the Blame Stream Media “knew” that Bush had in the Oval Office to stop the hurricane.  Never mind that the twin towers of incompetence—Louisiana Governor “Blank Brain” Blanco and New Orleans Mayor “No Noggin’” Nagin sat on their hands and let Bush take the entire blame for this natural disaster.  The Media’s role for the next three years was to advance the political agenda of the Democrats by demonizing Bush and Republicans.  It worked.  We got a Democrat Congress in 2006 and a Democrat President in 2008.

Now the shoe is on the other foot, the current President of the United States is the one sitting on his hands.  Louisiana, Mississippi (and other Gulf states) will take another economic and environmental hit.  It took him nearly two weeks to react to the explosion of the Gulf coast oil rig.  It was as if perhaps he were hoping that this crisis could be used to advance a political agenda, e.g., the demonization of big oil or by driving a stake into the heart of off-shore oil drilling.  But this is what happens when politicians are asked to solve problems. They come up with solutions that serve their petty political ends and not the people’s needs.

But where is the Blame Stream Media in all this mess?  The truth is that as closeted Liberal-Fascist bigots, they don’t expect much from Obama, and therein lays the problem.  The Media is not generating the needed public outrage to get the Federal government in gear.  In the past politicians reacted to public outrage.  Not this politician, he didn’t care about the public’s opposition to single payer health care.  He didn’t care about Islamo-Fascist Army Major Hasan shooting up a military base.  When pressed by talk radio, he reacted several days later with a mealy mouthed response that did nothing to assuage public concern over the public's safety from Islamo-Fascist terrorism.

Obama doesn’t give a hang about traditional notions of leadership and protocol.  This Memorial Day, he’s not going to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.  Vice-President Joe Biden will do the honors.  Biden will look presidential in doing so.  Meanwhile, Obama is going to a Memorial Day ceremony in Illinois.  But nearly everything about this “historic” presidency is unprecedented including the continual scapegoating, the colossal arrogance, and gross incompetence.  Why should we expect strong leadership from anyone like this?  Perhaps such low expectations of Obama might make one a bigot.  There are a growing number of bigots out there in the Gulf and elsewhere.

NERO FIDDLES WHILE THE GULF DROWNS...

One Big Ass Mistake America.  As the Gulf drowns in oil, as North Korea threatens South Korea, as Turkey and Brazil cut deals with Iran for a nuclear swap, Obama fiddles around.  He was a guest of Charles Barkley on the NBA playoff show.  You can't escape this guy.   Instead of Big Bumbler watching you; you're forced to watch this incompetent ninny on TV pontificating about anything but his job.  Where's the leadership?  Maybe it's too much to expect a guy whose biggest accomplishment in life was tacking up pamphlets on telephone poles to competently lead the greatest nation on Earth.

But why is Obama's incompetence so surprising?  Or is it incompetence?  Obama hates America. Yeah, you read that right.  His patron/puppet master George Soros hates America, therefore Obama hates America.  Why else would Obama allow immigration hypocrite Felipe Calderón to trash an American state over exercising its right to protect its citizens?  Calderón is the puppet of the indolent wealthy class in Mexico.  They won't deal with their poverty problem because as elitists, they like having someone's back to piss on. 

And because he is an immature little boy, Obama will never take responsibility or ownership of anything.  Every problem or crisis is Bush's fault, BP's fault, the Republican's fault, Wall Street's fault, or anybody else's but his fault.  Obama is content to sit back, eat $100 a pound beef, and act like "It's not my job man."  It is your job man.  Why did you take the job anyway?  Oh yeah, he likes to live large on someone else's dime.  Impeachment looks really good right now, even if Joe Biden ends up as President.  Damn, how bad has it gotten when Dumbo Joe begins to look good.  Yup, it is One Big Ass Mistake America.

GOVERNMENT EXTORTION AND OTHER INSTITUTIONAL CRIMES

Like clockwork, cash-strapped governments everywhere practice their unique form of extortion during budget crunches.  In Cahleeforneeah, (California), Governor Arnold Strudelmaker and the neo-Marxist Democrook legislature are planning to release prisoners pursuant to legislation that they passed as a trailer bill to last year's state budget.  According to one political consultant quoted by the Sacramento Bee,  

"The legislation was based on a lie that the prisons are filled with low-level offenders who pose no real threat to public safety, and that is absolutely not true," said Ray McNally, a political consultant whose client list includes the California Correctional Peace Officers Association and Crime Victims United of California, which is partially funded by the guards' union. "When you release dangerous people, other people get hurt."

Governments always threaten dire consequences during budget crises unless they can raise taxes.  They will claim that old people will be thrown out in the street; children will starve because the schools where they can get a free breakfast (and sometimes lunch) will be closed; we'll be overwhelmed with dirty air and water, we need more money to fight climate change né global warming, there's going to be roving bands of violent "utes" preying on law abiding citizens because there are no more cops, blah, blah, and more blah.
 

On the local level, the "pol cats" are threatening to layoff cops, firefighters, and school teachers unless you pay more taxes.  At the state level they're going to release hardcore criminals onto the street unless you pay more taxes.  At the Federal level, MODO (Master of Disaster, Obama) says the never ending recession could have been worse if he hadn't thrown trillions of dollars at it.  And you will have to pay more taxes. 

That old Democrap War Horse, the threat of another Great Depression, has been released from the barn.  But the old Boogey Man, Herbert Hoover has been replaced by George W. Bush.  MODO's failures have been masked by his childish tendency to blame others, especially Bush, for his failures and his naïveté.  And yes the Obama Stimulus has been an unqualified failure.

Odumbo and Odumber (Joe Biden) have gone on media rampage claiming that their Stimulus package has been a suck-cess! MODO and Vice President Joe Biden are basically jawboning that the Stimulus has been a success on the one-year anniversary of a plan that was shoved down the throat of US taxpayers by the US Congress via Democratic majorities. 

But the American people seem to be waking up.  One poll shows that almost half of the American people believe that the Stimulus will never create a job.  CNN, ever the Leftist Propaganda Shills allowed the DNC Chair Tim Kaine to extol the virtues of the Stimulus virtually unchallenged.  But anybody with a shot at a three digit IQ believes Kaine.  Even retiring Democrat moderate [sic] Senator Evan Bayh has a take on the suck-cess of MODO's Stimulus package.

Call it what you will--the Big Lie or disinformation (in Russian terminology dezinformatsiya or dezinformatsia), MODO is trying to sell it like the good Afro-Leninist that he is.  A CBS News/New York Times poll last week found that only 6 percent of Americans believed the package had created jobs. Another poll by CNN/Opinion Research Corporation showed a majority opposed the Stimulus program.  But does MODO care about what average Americans think?  Absolutely not.  What Marxist does?   That is unless the individual is big contributor to his or her campaign fund or can deliver votes.

When I worked for a California county several years ago, County employees went for five years without a cost of living raise.  Meanwhile, the County Supervisors and their staffs all got raises every year of the austerity period.  I'm shocked! Shocked that politicians would engage in self dealing!  But politicians always misspend public monies.  Part of the County's financial problems came about because like the morons that they are, they fell into the trap of wanting to run government like a business.  They played venture capitalists by investing in a recycling plant that was a money loser.  They ended up having to sell the plant and the landfills to private industry.  The stupid part of the "business" transction was that the County retained complete legal liability for any hazardous conditions caused by the landfills.  That says a lot about the quality of their lawyers and risk managers along with their business acumen.  In 1999, I wrote some $2 million in purchase orders for computer patches to protect the County's COBOL driven computer system from the Y2K computer bug.  The County "Stupervisors" had ample warning of the problem but they failed to act as they always do and paid a premium for the software patches purchased at the last minute.

We see everything falling apart in this country.  Yet there are some people walking the streets free as birds that are responsible in part for this mess.  Not only that, their ill gotten gains might be  recoverable funds. 

Question: How could a crooked CEO be free after looting a government sponsored enterprise for $90 million dollars through cooked books?

Answer: Be a Liberal Democrat and know that the court system, the media, and the Justice Department legal hack Eric Holder are in the pockets of your fellow leftist crooks. 

The former CEO of Fannie Mae, Franklin Raines walks the street a free man with $90 million dollars in bonuses “earned” from cooked books at Fannie Mae.  Fannie Mae as you may recall is at the crux of the mortgage and credit crisis due in large part to the crypto-criminal activities of Barney "Mush Mouth" Frank and Christopher "Countrywide Sweetheart Home Loan" Dodd among other Democrooks. Dumbocrat Congresswoman, Maxine Waters, (D-Imbecile) is featured below telling the world of the “outstanding job” that "Frank" Raines is doing at Fannie Mae.

It was Enron quality corruption for sure. But unlike Raines, CEO and Bush buddy, "Kenny Boy" Lay was later convicted of looting Enron using cooked books. The answer as to why there might be unequal treatment between a Republican crook and a Democrat crook remains unsaid by the Goebbels-like lame stream media.  Let's euphemistically call it "professional courtesy."  For you conspiracy theorists (reluctant or otherwise) there's a lot of Google results claiming that Ken Lay faked his death to avoid jail and then disappeared.  According to Wired Magazine's Evan Ratliff it's tough to disappear.  Ratliff had a $5,000 contest to see if he could disappear but he was "caught" within 30 days.

The extortion racket as practiced by the Mafia and known as La Mano Nera has nothing on these new American corporate-government gangsters.  But you ain't seen nuttin' yet folks!  Just wait until MODO ladles out that Stimulus money to ACORN, SEIU, and his other cronies to either get out or manufacture the vote this fall.  Your tax dollars are at work.  It's called "shovel ready" bullsh*t.

The Gang that Couldn't (or Wouldn't ) Shoot Straight or Don't they have people to research these things?

In a speech to the Polish people, former US president Jimmy Carter attempted to express his affection for the Polish people in the Polish language.  Unfortunately, for Carter he said instead that he "lusted after" them.  This was not the only time Carter expressed his lusty inner thoughts.  As you might recall, there was the infamous Playboy interview in which Carter, in an off the cuff remark (but not off the record), admitted to two Playboy freelance writers that he had "looked on a lot of women with lust" and had "committed adultery in my heart many times."  It makes you wonder if these guys have competent people to research this stuff and advise the President or the Presidential candidate as to how to handle a sticky situation?

Gaffes are an integral part of political life.  But how the gaffe is portrayed by the Lame Stream Media and others in media often depends upon the political persuation of the gaffer.  Sometimes stuff happens that one may not have any control over.  Remember when George H.W. Bush threw-up on the Japanese Prime Minister?  This was parodied on Saturday Night Live and was the subject of comedians everywhere.  Bush's son, "W" was treated by the media as the King of Gaffes, e.g., the New York Times asked in a snarky way how George W. Bush would handle a State Dinner with the Queen of England. 

Of course the Lame Stream Media, e.g., Time Magazine, protects Lefties. Time was full of excuses when Michelle "Antoinette" Obama touched the Queen of England, which is verboten under royal protocol.  Well sorry, Time, but there is no excuse for the FLOTUS's familiarity with the Queen because it's the Queen's House and it's her rules.  You always respect someone else's house rules.  And no, Michelle Antoinette, you are not at liberty to make up your own rules of conduct in someone else's house.

In a related article, Time in cataloging Obama's gaffes also made very sure to to do some damage control.  For example, when Obama cracked a joke at the expense of Special Olympians about his bowling game with Jay Leno on national television, Time, made sure to cover Obama's posterior:

Obama called Special Olympics Chair Tim Shriver from Air Force One before his Leno interview even aired to apologize for the off-color joke. Shriver told ABC's Good Morning America the following day that the president "expressed his disappointment and he apologized, in a way that was very moving."

(Wow, just thank about it Doofus, you cain say the meanest gawldurn thangs, but if ya apologize real purty, all is fergivin.)  Tim Shriver, by the way, is the son of Sargent Shriver, 1972 Democrat candidate for Vice-President.  So I would expect a good (sic) Democrat like Shriver in that circumstance to cover Obama's backside.

The rest of Obama's gaffes that are cataloged by Time are mostly described in terms that either minimize them or are simply ad hominem attacks on people like "Joe the Plumber" to draw attention away from Obama's ineptitude.  Another example is the cheesy DVD collection given to British PM Gordon Brown that was recast by Time to state that "Obama allegedly gave Brown a 'special collector's box' of 25 classic American DVDs... " [Emphasis added.]  Allegedly gave?  Bolshevik!  Obama probably sent Joe Biden to the local DC Walmart to pick up a gift.  Obama mistakenly thought that not even Biden could screw-up this simple errand.  But it could have been worse, Obama could have ended giving PM Brown an Obama Chia Pet and a case of those little car deodorant trees for the PM's Rolls Royce Limo.

The recent flap over Obama bow and handshake with Japanese Emperor Akihito has also brought some controversy.  Acording to one New York Times blogger the real breach of protocol was to shake hands and bow at the same time (i.e., he should have picked one or the other actions to do).  The blogger, David Sanger, also pointed that George Bush 41 bowed before the casket of the deceased Japanese Emperor and was criticized by some pundits for doing so.  It was the correct thing for Bush 41 to have done.  On the other hand, Obama didn't know what to do.  This begs the question as to whether Obama has anybody competent enough to research this stuff?  Probably no more than he has anyone to competently advise him on the economy, health care, or trying terrorists in the United States.
