Those Crazy, Crazy Democrats

[Warph]

"Remember that great scene from the Oscar-robbed classic 'The Blues Brothers'? Jake and Elwood (John Belushi and Dan Akroyd) are finally cornered by Jake's former fiancée (Carrie Fisher). Jake left her at the altar with 300 guests and the best Romanian caterers in the state waiting. 'You betrayed me!' she exclaims. 'No I didn't. Honest,' Jake explains. 'I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!' This is pretty much how Democrats sound these days. None of their problems are their fault. ... Coming soon: A terrible flood! Locusts! Anything and everything to avoid admitting their problems are their own fault." --columnist Jonah Goldberg


The definition of chutzpah: "After a decade of profligacy, the American people are tired of politicians who talk the talk but don't walk the walk when it comes to fiscal responsibility. It's easy to get up in front of the cameras and rant against exploding deficits. What's hard is actually getting deficits under control. But that's what we must do. Like families across the country, we have to take responsibility for every dollar we spend." --Barack Obama

Taxes are going up: "Everything's on the table. That's how this thing is going to work." --Barack Obama... after creating a deficit commission on whether he would raise taxes on families earning less than $250,000 a year

Shut up, he explained: "They should stop crying about reconciliation as if it's never been done before." --Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) (It's never been done on a bill of this magnitude before.)

"So I do believe that there is more fertile soil today than when we first took this up." --House Democrat Whip James Clyburn, of South Carolina, weighing in not on all those "shovel ready" supposed job-starting projects of the "stimulus" but on the Demo plan for the government takeover of U.S. medical care.

You don't say: "Health care has been knocking me around pretty good." --Barack Obama.... who still hasn't learned his lesson

Speaking of being knocked around: "Men, when they're out of work, tend to become abusive." --Harry Reid ("Many observers have speculated that Reid is likely to lose his job at the end of the current term. ... Is something going to happen to Mrs. Reid if Nevadans don't re-elect this senator?")

Non sequitur: "We have countries like China, which don't have to go through the democratic processes that we do, that order factories to move to deal with their air pollution." --Sen. Tom Udall (D-NM), urging his fellow senators to pass cap-n-tax

Ax not what your country can do for you... "[A]s a condition of receiving access to Title I funds we will ax all states to put in place a plan to adopt and certify standards that are college and career ready in reading and math." --the eloquent orator Barack Obama, emphasis added, because yes, he did say "ax" -- see the video: (I guess Harry Reid was right.)

....and those Village Idiots:

On health care: "My hope is that the country understands that we need to do this." --First Lady Michelle Obama (And we all know what "we" means when spoken by an Obama -- government.  Government "needs" to expand its power.)

RINO lecture: "I would caution my Republican friends that [Obama has] three years to go, and in that three years the American people are going to want to see some progress and not just claims that this guy is out of office and we're going to do everything to destroy him or that somehow he is a 'socialist' taking over the country. Have we so lost our faith in this country that we think one person, one man can be can suddenly change our entire system? That's kind of absurd." --retired Gen. Colin Powell

Disdain: "The Tea Baggers, they're not a movement, they're a cult.... Cults tend to populate from within, encouraging members to have huge broods of children and to give them strange names, like Moonbeam, and Trig." --HBO's Bill Maher, who probably will support Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown for California governor and who ignores the Obama-worship cult to which he bends his knee

Talk about crazy.... Obama is about to screw it up again with this following nut case, Rashad Hussain, Obama's special Islam envoy!  How many more stupid blunders does Obama have in his sorry-ass bag to offer the american people

The Obama Administration lied to cover up that its special Islam envoy has close ties to radical extremist groups and that he condemns the U.S. government's prosecutions of renowned terrorists as "politically motivated persecutions."

In his ongoing effort to repair relations with the Islamic world, Obama assigned a White House deputy counsel (Rashad Hussain) with known ties to individuals and groups that support jihad as the nation's envoy to Islam. The Ivy-league educated attorney has a documented history of participating in and supporting events connected with the terrorism-sponsoring Muslim Brotherhood and advocating for the admitted head of a Palestinian jihad organization.

A few years ago Hussain publicly defended a Florida college professor (Sami al-Arian) who pleaded guilty to aiding terrorists as the U.S. leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, referring to his prosecution as a "politically motivated persecution" designed "to squash dissent." Hussain also claimed that Al-Arian's prosecution was a sad commentary on our legal system that involved significant abuses.

When certain media outlets revealed the abhorrent comments, Hussain denied ever making them and so did the White House. But a political news organization subsequently dug up a recording of Hussain's inspirational 2004 speech at a Muslim Students Association conference and he has since admitted making what he now refers to as "ill-conceived or not well-formulated" comments.

To cover up the controversy, Hussain even ordered the website of a magazine that covers Middle East issues from the Arab and Muslim perspectives to remove the incriminating comments from its story of the Chicago event. He admits contacting the publication in an effort to avoid a "misimpression" but claims editors modified the article "of their own accord."

Its bad enough that the country's special Islam envoy serves on an Islamic despot support group called the Organization of Islamic Conference, which claims to promote Muslim unity. In reality, it seeks to impose Islam on the world and undermine the sovereignty of free nations like the U.S. One news report refers to it as the thuggish international organization that aims to intimidate Western governments into adopting hate speech codes that quash criticism of Islam and jihad violence.

Cozying up to such groups is part of Obama's effort to befriend radical Muslims who hate the U.S. and want to murder Americans. The plan has featured secret national security meetings with a group of extremist Arab, Muslim and Sikh organizations, a special State Department order allowing the reentry of radical Islamic academics whose terrorist ties have long banned them from the U.S. and the National Aeronautic and Space Administration's (NASA) new focus on Muslim outreach and diplomacy.

Obama about to scew up again.... how STUPID is Obama... or should I say, CORRUPT?

Obama Nominee Under Fire for Political Connections, Lack of Experience
FOXNews.com

President Obama is facing sharp criticism for his decision to nominate Tim Purdon as U.S. attorney in North Dakota , a nominee who critics say lacks sufficient experience and owes the nod -- over more-qualified candidates -- to his political connections.

President Obama is facing sharp criticism for his decision to nominate Tim Purdon as U.S. attorney in North Dakota , a nominee who critics say lacks sufficient experience and owes the nod -- over more-qualified candidates -- to his political connections.

Critics are also pointing to the nomination as evidence of Democratic hypocrisy for accusing the Bush administration, specifically his attorney general, Alberto Gonzalez, of politicizing the Justice Department in the firing of several attorneys.

"When President Obama said he wanted to restore the independence and dignity of the U.S. attorney's office, in light of the Alberto Gonzalez fiasco, then appoints a political activist and party fundraiser, it seems a little to me like 'politics as usual' than 'change we can believe in,'" Bill Brudvik, a candidate for the post, told the Fargo Forum.

Brudvik declined to comment further when reached by FoxNews.com.

"I've said way too much," he said.

Purdon declined to respond to the criticism of his nomination.

"Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to comment on my nomination until my confirmation is complete," Purdon told FoxNews.com

Purdon, a lawyer since 1995 who lacks any prosecutorial experience, has donated more than $12,000 to Democratic causes since 2000, including $2,300 to Obama's 2008 presidential campaign.

He was also state chairman for John Edwards' failed presidential bid.
