I have a question and I need a damn answer from the Obama administration. Who the hell is Leon Panetta and why the hell does he get to head the CIA? You’d think that in a time of global unrest Obama would use those elephant ears of his and listen to the war drums over in Russia, Iran, Palestine and choose someone who carries at least a little intelligence experience.
I commend him on keeping Gates as defense secretary and while his first pick for the head of the CIA was not perfect it was still a lot better than this idiot who we’re gonna have to trust. Its funny that everyone blamed Bush for not finding WMD’s (when they were obviously moved from Iraq to Syria) and while other things are to blame the major blame goes to faulty evidence by the CIA. You’d think Obama would take heed and make sure he gets someone who can at least read a classified document and know how to shut up his mouth and when to open it.
Well I’m not sorry for the morons who voted this joker in office. Your pay day has come.

In just another case of how brazen Blagojevich is, he has gone through with appointing General Roland Burris to take Barack Obama’s seat in the senate. Just how far will this man go? And I expected better General Roland Burris. I don’t see what the hell is wrong with the politics in my home state.
I would say more but I’ll let the General himself explain why he has accepted the seat even though the guy who has appointed him is under federal investigation for corruption charges.

Why does it matter what Peter Yarrow thinks? Well mainly because he and “Puff” Lenny Lipton were the ones who wrote the original “masterpiece” that was spoofed by Paul Shanklin. Here are the words of Peter Yarrow on the ultra liberal blog the “Huffington Post.”
The sending of a Christmas greeting by Chip Saltsman to the members of the Republican National Committee that includes a recording of the so-called parody, “Barack the Magic Negro” is not only offensive, it is shocking and saddening in the extreme. It flies in the face of America’s deeply held hope for a new era in which common ground and mutual respect characterize the exchanges between our national leaders.
I and my co-writer of “Puff,” Lenny Lipton, have been eagerly awaiting an end to the mean-spiritedness, outright disrespect and bigotry that was commonplace prior to this last presidential election. What might have been wearily accepted as “the way it was” in the campaign, is now unacceptable. Obama is not a candidate. He is the President-Elect, and this song insults the office of the Presidency, the people who voted for him, as well as those who did not — and taking a children’s song and twisting it in such vulgar, mean-spirited way, is a slur to our entire country and our common agreement to move beyond racism.
It is almost unimaginable to me that Chip Saltzman who sent the CD, would seriously be considered for the top post of the Republican National Committee. Puff, himself, if asked, would certainly agree.
Well guess what Peter? I don’t give a damn and neither does the Republican party. And out of total contempt for this mans idiotic statement I shall once again give you the video to watch.

In case you’re wondering exactly why I was so against the original $700 billion bailout package let me just inform you now that the government has extracted over $7 trillion from tax payers to keep the auto companies in business and all the other pork barrel spending projects. Not only that but all the environmental whackjobs are asking Barack the magic Negroto set aside $10 billion to install solar panels on government buildings and install some type of alternative energy system in two government buildings.
To make matters worse every state ruled by liberal politicians are asking for billions of dollars to bail them out except for Florida (which is Republican), California (thanks to the Govornator) and New York (NYC) who has decided to raise the taxes on its families $4,000.
I knew this was coming, and that’s why I have recently come to the philosophy that unless we revolt against our corrupt politicians we will never be the same.

Take offense, call me racist, frankly I don’t give a damn. This world is too up tight. Had this video been done about Condi or Powell half those who are making a fuss about it now would have kept quiet. So say what you will its useless.
BTW you can view the video below.
UPADTE: The original video was deleted by YouTube so I found another version. Song is identical but the pictures are different.

This has probably been one of the most memorable years in political history. Not because of all the corruption charges and super wins but mainly because many of them were not expected. So after following this year’s election and political news I have compiled a list of five of the smartest and five of the dumbest politicians of 2008. Mind I remind you this has nothing to do with their performance as a politician but rather how they were able to convince voters to either vote or not vote for them.

Obama may leave office as being one of the greatest President’s of all time (I’m hoping that will be the case) but there is one thing people need to get straight; Obama is not, and I repeat, NOT Abraham Lincoln.
When Lincoln came to Washington he was an outsider and many claim Obama is an outsider also. The reason why this cannot be true is within the year or so that his name has shot up to fame Obama has chosen some of the most corrupt people in Washington to be his aides and advisors.
Most importantly just because he is a lawyer and Lincoln was does not make them equal. May I remind you that Clinton was a lawyer before he moved into the White House (need I say more). More importantly Lincoln was driven by a moral compass, there is nothing moral about having connections to terrorists or those who preach hate from their church pulpits or worse a wife who hates the US.
I’m not saying Obama is an exception to Washington politics. All I’m saying is that he cannot be compaired to Abraham Lincoln.

Say what you will but I already warned you that I really don’t have anything nice to say about any politician. So my following words should be no surprise. Obama is form the Chicago machine and although the days of Al Capone are long gone the system still runs the same way. From Blagojevich all the way down, sad to say but my home state is pretty darn corrupt in the area of politics.
Yet Obama sees teh need to go back there for all his job postings. Please tell me why Arne Duncan is so good for education? Why not pick someone like Michelle Rhee? I’m telling you, for a candidate who is all about change, Obama is sure not shacking things up when it comes to his cabinet. Almost every single person in his cabinet has questionable associations or connections.

Its obvious that the Democrats get into just as much scandals as the Republican’s but its quite odd when you hear that the scandal involves a state governor and president-elect. Worse of all it involves the guy who is supposed to bring “change” to America. He sure has brought change alright, first president-elect to be involved in more scandals than most President’s are in their lifetime (unless you’re Clinton for that matter) Nixon did way less and was almost empeached and Reagon had a one minor mishap and that was blown up.
I’m sure you guys have all heard what happened to Rod Blagojevich. But I bet you haven’t heard about the Obama connection (special thanks goes to the media for this one). Obama has said in no uncertain terms that he has no connection with him and the scandal laden governor. Yet papers and transcripts say other wise.
Obama endorsed Blagojevich in 2002
Blagojevich returned the favor in 2004
But what is most incriminating is the words from Obama’s senior administration adviser on David Axelrod on November 23.
I know he’s talked to the governor and there are a whole range of names many of which have surfaced, and I think he has a fondness for a lot of them.
I’m not saying Obama has done anything wrong here but I’d like to see what those talks were that he and Blagojevich carried on behind closed doors (or secure phone lines).

You might have remembered that two days ago I had blogged about how this dude from Philadelphia City Paper said that Obama owns a Zune. Well a spokesman from the Obama campaign has swiftly rebuffed the allegation and has said in no uncertain terms that the “The President-elect uses an iPod.”
My only contention with the fact is that the dude never said he does not own one. All the spokesman said is that he uses an iPod which means there is a good possibility that he does own a Zune. And that is exactly what the writer who originally reported the story is saying.
I vividly remember Obama pulling out an MP3 player with his left hand while exercising on the machine. It had a dark case protecting it and from what I saw, he was using a Zune.
I’ve seen a Zune in action. I know what it looks like.
But you know how politicians worse their spokespersons are. Always lying.
