Tingles For Obama
Chris Matthews: Conservatives Oppose Obama Because of 'White Supremacy'

http://freebeacon.com/matthews-white-supremacy-heart-of-opposition-to-obama/

CHRIS MATTHEWS: I would think that would be justice if it did happen. If they didn't keep saying the president was involved in this. They can say fairly and authoritatively, it is his job to fix it. I'll tell you, Reverend, one piece of this thing that we have to keep in mind as we deal with effective government, and those of us who believe in effective positive government have to be the ones to make it work. The right wing loves it when it screws up because it makes their case. The liberals, the progressives, the reasonable people will say I need the government. I need it not just to protect me, I need it to do a lot of things I want done to keep this society okay. But the problem is there are people in this country, I don't know the number maybe 10 percent, maybe 20 percent on a bad day, who want this president to have an asterisk next to his name in the history books, that he really wasn't president. You know, like a guy in baseball who used drugs. They want to be able to say you know, he really didn't have that batting average.

He really wasn't really the first African-American president. He really didn't do healthcare. He really didn't kill Bin-Laden. There's an asterisk. They've been fighting like that, people like Donald Trump, since day one, they can't stand the idea that he is president. And a piece of it is racism. Not that somebody in one racial group doesn't like somebody in another race or group, so what. It is the sense the white race must rule. That's what racism is. And they can't stand the idea that a man who is not white is president. That is real. That sense of racial superiority and rule is in the hearts of some people in this country. Not all conservatives. Not even all right wingers. But it always come through with this birther crap and the other references and somehow trying to erase Obamacare, erase his record in history and a big part of it is bought into by people like John Boehner who is not a bad guy but he knows the only way to talk to the hard right is talk their language.


AL SHARPTON: No doubt about it.

Tingles Turns On Obama

http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2013/05/chris-matthews-sours-on-obama-164095.html

(According to Tingles he's now a white supremacist...
I think I now know what's been running down his leg)

President Obama "obviously likes giving speeches more than he does running the executive branch," Chris Matthews said tonight.

Yes, you read that right: The MSNBC host who in 2008 felt a "thrill going up my leg" after hearing Obama speak has grown disenchanted. Tonight's episode of Hardball saw Matthews delivering a rare, unforgiving grilling of the president as severe as anything that might appear on Fox News.

"What part of the presidency does Obama like? He doesn't like dealing with other politicians — that means his own cabinet, that means members of the congress, either party. He doesn't particularly like the press.... He likes to write the speeches, likes to rewrite what Favreau and the others wrote for the first draft," Matthews said.

"So what part does he like? He likes going on the road, campaigning, visiting businesses like he does every couple days somewhere in Ohio or somewhere," Matthews continued. "But what part does he like? He doesn't like lobbying for the bills he cares about. He doesn't like selling to the press. He doesn't like giving orders or giving somebody the power to give orders. He doesn't seem to like being an executive."

Hey Teamters: The Tax Man Cometh

(Oh, I love this one):

Deep in the shit-list of taxes that the president's Obamacare plan will hit Americans with is a 40 percent excise tax on health plans typical union members have, especially in Midwest states, according to a new analysis.

The Obamacare tax won't take place until 2018, but when it does it will smack high cost, or so-called "Cadillac" health insurance plans, according to the group Americans for Tax Reform.

"This tax will most directly affect union families and early retirees, who are likely to be covered by such plans," said ATR in a review of upcoming tax cuts in the health reform package set to go into effect in January. It will target plans whose premiums exceed exceed $10,200 for an individual and $27,500 for a family.

White House Benghazi Emails

The White House has released 100 pages of internal e-mails that document the development of talking points used by U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice and others following the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on a U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya.

The e-mails show that the White House, State Department, FBI and the CIA all participated in shaping the talking points, which have become a flashpoint for critics of the administration's response to the attack.

Update:  You can view the e-mails here.

Hah! Jay Leno Rips Obama Again – Compares Him to Nixon (Video)

Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, May 16, 2013, 7:50 AM


Jay Leno ripped Barack Obama again last night on his show. He compared him to Richard Nixon.
"It's been a rough week for Obama. A lot of critics are comparing President Obama to President Richard Nixon. Which is unfair. Nixon's unemployment rate was only 5%."

Congressman Devin Nunes (R-CA) went on the Hugh Hewitt Show tonight and dropped this bombshell. The Holder-Obama Justice Department tapped the House of Representatives

They tapped the cloak room, too.

Via the Hugh Hewitt website, via The Green Room:

HH: The idea that this might be a Geithner-Axelrod plan, and by that, the sort of intimation, Henry II style, will no one rid me of this turbulent priest, will no one rid me of these turbulent Tea Parties, that might have just been a hint, a shift of an eyebrow, a change in the tone of voice. That's going to take a long time to get to. I don't trust the Department of Justice on this. Do you, Congressman Nunes?

DN: No, I absolutely do not, especially after this wiretapping incident, essentially, of the House of Representative. I don't think people are focusing on the right thing when they talk about going after the AP reporters. The big problem that I see is that they actually tapped right where I'm sitting right now, the Cloak Room.

HH: Wait a minute, this is news to me.

DN: The Cloak Room in the House of Representatives.

HH: I have no idea what you're talking about.

DN: So when they went after the AP reporters, right? Went after all of their phone records, they went after the phone records, including right up here in the House Gallery, right up from where I'm sitting right now. So you have a real separation of powers issue that did this really rise to the level that you would have to get phone records that would, that would most likely include members of Congress, because as you know...

HH: Wow.

The cloakrooms serve as a place for members to socialize, eat, and take naps without leaving the building. These rooms are closed to all except for Senators and Representatives, and a few of their trusted staffers, and even have their own phone numbers.

(Sick Bastards... and John McRino wants to give arms to
Syrian Islamic Rebels, who are probably Al-Qaeda)

BEIRUT: Fighters of the Al-Qaeda-linked Nusra Front in Syria executed 11 men they accused of taking part in massacres by President Bashar al-Assad's forces, a video published on Thursday showed.

A man whose face was covered in a black balaclava shot each man in the back of the head as they kneeled, blindfolded and lined up in a row in the eastern province of Deir al-Zor.

"The sharia court for the eastern region in Deir al-Zor has sentenced to death these apostate soldiers that committed massacres against our brothers and families in Syria," the executioner said on the video.

Islamist militants with black flags shouted "God is great" as each man was shot. The executioner returned to some victims, firing more bullets into them to make sure they were dead.

The video is the second in two days to show such executions by fighters who say they are from Al-Qaeda-linked groups.

Chicago reporter Michael Sneed says our first gay president, Obama is eyeing Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick to replace scandal-plagued Eric Holder.

The Sun-Times reported:
http://www.suntimes.com/news/sneed/20134635-452/obama-eyes-gov-deval-patrick-to-replace-eric-holder-at-justice.html

Sneed is told that Attorney General Eric "Fast and Furious" Holder's days are numbered.

Sneed hears President Barack Obama, who is this/close to Holder, has set his sights on Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick as a possible replacement "when the heat dies down on the latest hot-button scandals to hit the U.S. Justice Department," said a top White House source.

Last year, Holder became a hot button over a congressional probe of the sale of government guns to drug cartels.

This time it's the double whammy of an IRS scandal and the U.S. Justice Department's seizure of Associated Press reporters' phone records — which has caused a media uproar.

Grant announced today that he would retire June 3, despite being appointed as commissioner of the tax-exempt office May 8, a week ago

IRS Executive Who Led Unit Targeting Conservatives Got $103,000 In Bonuses

Sarah Hall Ingram, the IRS executive in charge of the tax exempt division in 2010 when it began targeting conservative Tea Party, evangelical and pro-Israel groups for harrassment, got more than $100,000 in bonuses between 2009 and 2012.

More recently, Ingram was promoted to serve as director of the tax agency's Obamacare program office, a position that put her in charge of the vast expansion of the IRS' regulatory power and staffing in connection with federal health care, ABC reported earlier today.

Ingram received a $7,000 bonus in 2009, according to data obtained by The Washington Examiner from the IRS, then a $34,440 bonus in 2010, $35,400 in 2011 and $26,550 last year, for a total of $103,390. Her annual salary went from $172,500 to $177,000 during the same period.

Post Office Buildings for Sale

All In The Family

The US has entered into a contract with a real estate firm to sell 56
buildings that currently house U.S. Post Offices. The government has decided
it no longer needs these buildings, many of which are located on prime land in
towns and cities across the country.

The sale of these properties will fetch billions of dollars and a handsome 6%
commission to the company handling the sales. That company belongs to a man
named Richard Blum. Who is Richard Blum you ask?

Why the husband of Senator Dianne Feinstein, that's who. What a bunch of
crooks we have running this country!

Senator Feinstein and her husband, Richard Blum, stand to make a fortune. His
firm, C.R. I., is the sole real estate company offering these properties for
sale. Of course, C.R.I. will be making a 6% commission on the sale of each and
every one of these postal properties.

All of these properties that are being sold are all fully paid for. They were
purchased with U.S. taxpayers dollars, and they are allowed free and clear by
the U.S.P.S. The only cost to keep them is the cost to actually keep the doors
open and the heat and lights on. The United States Postal Service doesn't even
have to pay property taxes on these subject properties. Would you sell your
house just because you couldn't afford to pay the electric bill?

Well, the Post Office is.

How does a powerful U.S. Senator from San Francisco manage to get away with
such a sweet deal?

A powerful United States Senator's husband is standing by, all ready to make
millions from a U.S. taxpayer funded enterprise.

No one in the mainstream media is even raising an eyebrow over his 6%
commission on the sale of hundreds of millions of dollar's worth of
quasi-public assets.

Pass this info on before it's pulled from the internet.
