Ozone Layer Shoved "Under Bus" by Panicked Obama

By John W. Lillpop




In a stunning, yet only partial, incorporation of common sense into his resume, President Obama shoved the entire ozone layer AND the EPA under his 2012 campaign bus.

As reported at the reference, in part:

Facing fierce resistance from congressional Republicans, industry and some local officials, President Obama abruptly pulled back proposed smog standards Friday that would have compelled states and communities nationwide to reduce local air pollution or face federal penalties.

Key GOP lawmakers including House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) had identified the Environmental Protection Agency’s restrictions for ground-level ozone, along with other air pollution regulations they described as “job-destroying,” as targets for a regulatory rollback this fall.

Members of the business community had launched an all-out public relations blitz against the rules, saying that they should be delayed in light of the economic downturn.

Obama’s decision was announced shortly after disheartening employment numbers were released Friday morning. It drew harsh reaction from environmentalists and their allies — including a statement from MoveOn.org questioning why its members should work for the president’s reelection — highlighting the dangers the White House faces as it seeks middle ground among competing interests.

In a statement, Obama praised EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson’s effort to improve the nation’s air quality but said he had asked her to withdraw the draft standards because they were scheduled to be reconsidered two years from now anyway.

“I have continued to underscore the importance of reducing regulatory burdens and regulatory uncertainty, particularly as our economy continues to recover,” Obama said.”

Economy continues to recover, Mr. President?

Time to shove your speech writer under that bus!

Obama’s ‘Robin Hood’ Approach to Government

By John W. Lillpop


While campaigning in 2008, President Obama promised to deliver a ‘Post-racism’ era in America, an era that would fulfill the Dream of Dr. Martin Luther King when King said, in part:

“I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

Unfortunately, Barack Obama seems intent on implementing policies that fly directly in the face of the King speech.

Rather than working to eradicate the issue of skin color from public discourse, Obama has exacerbated the issue with his ‘Robin Hood’ approach to life in America.

In Obama’s mind and in the minds of Maxine Waters and others in the Congressional Black Caucus, the federal government exists largely for the purpose of transferring wealth from white Americans to people of color, be they brown, black, red, or yellow.

Its called “leveling the playing field” and is seen as atonement for slavery, Jim Crow laws, discrimination in employment, education and housing, issues long since rectified by white people.

The ‘Robin Hood’ swagger is notorious for spawning un-American sentiments like those of Rep. Carson who illuminated the halls of Congress with this uncontrolled outburst of belligerence and racism:

Rep. Andre Carson (D-Ind.), the CBC whip, told attendees at the CBC's Job Tour visit to Miami that the Tea Party is actively taking steps to keep down the black community and other vulnerable populations.

"This is the effort that we're seeing of Jim Crow," Carson said. "Some of these folks in Congress right now would love to see us as second-class citizens."

"Some of them in Congress right now of this Tea Party movement would love to see you and me ... hanging on a tree."

To date, Obama has not stepped forward to demand that Carson and others “tone down the rhetoric;” perhaps because the president agrees with Carson’s hate speech, but is constrained from saying so openly by virtue of his high office.

Once again, this president ‘leads from behind’ on an important issue. The result is a brewing storm of discontent that has lead to increased racial tensions, without any sign whatsoever of ‘leveling the playing field.’

Mr. Obama and the Democrat Party must stop the insane class warfare and politics of race before the nation is splintered to the point of no return.

Drop your ‘Robin Hood’ act, Mr. President, and strive instead to be a healer!

Weeping for America

By John W. Lillpop

To be perfectly clear, I am not a fan of Barack Obama. In my view, he lacks the experience and requisite love of America to serve as our president.

From economic policy to war making, to enforcing the rule of law, President Obama seems to be at odds with the history and culture of America.

After nearly three tragic years under this president, we the people now understand that his lofty goal of "fundamentally transforming America," involves waging war against free enterprise business and traditional family values in favor of growing government and implementing socialist programs like ObamaCare and redistribution of wealth.

Still, aside from Obama’s wrong-headed ideological bent,the greatest damage from his tenure is the humiliating downsizing of the American presidency, its image and stature.

Once accepted as the most powerful position in the world, under Obama the U.S. presidency has been weakened so much that the president is now forced to grovel and crawl in order to present his jobs plan to a joint session of Congress.

What the has hell happened to our great nation when the incumbent president is so distracted and out-of-focus that he schedules an important national address at the same time as a political debate on the schedule for months?

Incredibly, Obama’s latest gaffe forced him to retreat to a time slot which infringes on the start of the pro-football season.

That is both unacceptable and humiliating, not only to Obama, but to all Americans.

We used to be better than that.

As a result of Obama’s failed stewardship, the American presidency, at one time a great and formidable institution, is now pathetically weak and impotent.

Which means it is time to weep for America, including even Barack Obama!

Congressional Black Caucus Plays Racial War Games: Whither Obama “Civility Czar”?

By John W. Lillpop

By design or by virtue of just more bad luck, the intense battle over the federal deficit, out-of-control spending, and the future of America has turned ugly.

Ugly, indeed, as reported at the reference, in part:

A leading voice in the Congressional Black Caucus told supporters last week that Tea Party-affiliated lawmakers are devastating the black community economically and would be happy to see black people "hanging on a tree."

Rep. Andre Carson (D-Ind.), the CBC whip, told attendees at the CBC's Job Tour visit to Miami that the Tea Party is actively taking steps to keep down the black community and other vulnerable populations.
"This is the effort that we're seeing of Jim Crow," Carson said. "Some of these folks in Congress right now would love to see us as second-class citizens."

"Some of them in Congress right now of this Tea Party movement would love to see you and me ... hanging on a tree."
A spokesman for Carson, later in the article, actually defended his boss' "strong language," saying:

"A child without basic nutrition, secure housing, and quality education has no real chance at a meaningful and productive life. So, yes, the Congressman used strong language because the Tea Party agenda jeopardizes our most vulnerable and leaves them without the ability to improve their economic standing."

Being without the ability to improve one's economic standing is indeed a dire situation. But it is not the same thing as being strung up by an angry mob from the nearest tree. It just isn't.

The accusation that the Tea Party harbors racism or racist elements has been around since soon after the Tea Party appeared on the American political scene. It is a subject for intense debate. Strong language is often used in this debate. But Congressman Carson's remarks have taken this language to an entirely different level -- a level where he really shouldn't have gone.”

Given Barack Obama’s persistent call for “dialing down the rhetoric” and demand for more civility, one must ask: Where is Barack? Why has the president failed to use his bully pulpit to demand that the CBC refrain from such vile, intemperate public discourse?

Perhaps we need a “civility czar,” one with the temerity and integrity to tell Maxine Waters to, “Shut up and go straight to hell yourself!” and to tell Rep. Andre Carson, “The only advocate for second-class citizenship for African-Americans is folks like you!”

Or are loose canons like Waters and Carson saying things that Obama agrees with but cannot say in public?

When It Comes to Raw Arrogance, Obama Without Equal!

By John W. Lillpop












One of Barack Obama’s more objectionable mannerisms is his maddening arrogance. From his body language to his spoken words, Obama seems to be saying, “I am better than you! So shut up while I explain everything.”

Perhaps that analysis is founded on an inability to accept the fact that a man of color speaks so eloquently?

The “R” word in action, right?

Hmmm.

How, then, does one explain the following comments from the Reverend Jesse Jackson in July of 2008 as detailed in the reference:

“In July 2008, FOX network aired a video in which Jackson leans over and whispers, "See, Barack been, um, talking down to black people on this faith based ... I want cut his n**s off ... Barack ... he's talking down to black people."

For emphasis, Jackson appeared to make a stabbing or cutting motion with his hand.”

Talking down to black people, of all things! The audacity is palpable.

Since then, Obama has become more inclusive and he now talks down to all races, faiths, IQ brackets, nationalities, and social classes.

Barack has truly grown into an equal opportunity offender!

If fact, it can be said without fear of contradiction that were arrogance a commodity like gold, Obama would be able to eliminate the entirety of the federal deficit with just the sweat from his brow AND still remain obscenely rich!

In the early days of Obama’s presidency, there was a tendency to dismiss his arrogance because, after all, he was soooooooo very intelligent and gifted.

However, after nearly three years of stimulus failures, raging unemployment, double-dip recessions and a trail of foreign and domestic policy failures that would gag a maggot, Obama no longer deserve any “slack” for that signature smirk.

The man is a failure and as such needs to reign in his over-pampered ego to match his lousy performance!
