    His Terms Are Always Hostile Ones No one has good faith but Obama.
    Doesn't this get boring, even to him?


    Presidential inaugurations are rare and notable events, coming only once every four years since April 30, 1789, when George Washington raised his right hand and took the oath on the second-floor balcony of New York's Federal Hall.

    It's a big day with all its pomp and ceremony, and among its purposes is this: to encourage all who watch to let go, for a moment, of the ups and downs of the political day-to-day and think, for a moment, about the longer arc of our history. A president's inaugural address is a chance to go big and be big—to be thematic and not programmatic, to declare the meaning, as he sees it, of his leadership, to speak of where America is and ought to be. The whole day, from breakfasts to balls, is meant to be, insofar as possible within the confines of human nature, one of democratic fellowship and good feeling.

    A president approaching that day will necessarily be, in his spirit, benign, embracing—unifying.

    So here is what is utterly remarkable: President Obama has been using the days and weeks leading up to his inauguration to show the depth of his disdain for the leaders of the other major party and, by inference, that party's voters, which is to say more or less half the country. He has been spending his time alienating instead of summoning. It has left the political air more sour and estranged.

    As a presidential style this is something strange and new. That has to be said again: It is new, and does not augur well.

    What was remarkable about the president's news conference Monday is that he didn't seem to think he had to mask his partisan rancor or be large-spirited. He bristled with unashamed hostility for Republicans on the Hill. They are holding the economy "ransom," they are using the threat of "crashing the American economy" as "leverage," some are "absolutist" while others are "consumed with partisan brinkmanship." They are holding "a gun at the head of the American people." And what is "motivating and propelling" them is not a desire for debt reduction, as they claim. They are "suspicious about government's commitment . . . to make sure that seniors have decent health care as they get older. They have suspicions about Social Security. They have suspicions about whether government should make sure that kids in poverty are getting enough to eat, or whether we should be spending money on medical research."

    And yet, "when I'm over here at the congressional picnic and folks are coming up and taking pictures with their family, I promise you, Michelle and I are very nice to them."

    You're nice to them? To people who'd take food from the mouths of babes?

    Then, grimly: "But it doesn't prevent them from going onto the floor of the House and blasting me for being a big-spending socialist." Conservative media outlets "demonize" the president, he complained, and so Republican legislators fear standing near him.

    If Richard Nixon talked like that, they'd have called him paranoid and self-pitying. Oh wait . . .

    Throughout the press conference the president demanded—they'd "better choose quickly"—that Republicans extend the debt ceiling. Pressed by reporters on whether he would negotiate with them to win this outcome, he made it clear he would not. He would have "a conversation." Bloomberg's Julianna Goldman asked: "So you technically will negotiate?"

    "No, Julianna," he answered. "Either Congress pays its bills or it doesn't."

    There was a logical inconsistency to his argument. A government shutdown would be so disastrous to the economy that he won't negotiate with Republicans if that's what it takes to avert it.

    This, he said, is what will happen if the debt ceiling is not extended: "Social Security checks and veteran's benefits will be delayed. We might not be able to pay our troops, or honor our contracts with small businesses. Food inspectors, air-traffic controllers, specialists who track down loose nuclear material wouldn't get their paychecks."

    Why talk to Republicans when the stakes are so high? They must be the kind of people who like to see planes crash and bombs go off.

    Two days later, unveiling his gun-control plan at a White House event, it wasn't only Republicans in Congress who lie: "There will be pundits and politicians and special-interest lobbyists publicly warning of a tyrannical all-out assault on liberty, not because that's true but because they want to gin up fear or higher ratings or revenue for themselves. And behind the scenes, they'll do everything they can to block any common-sense reform and make sure nothing changes whatsoever."

    No one has good faith but him. No one is sincere but him. Doesn't this get boring, even to him?

    The president was criticized for surrounding himself with children during the event, but politicians use props and the props are usually people. Was it out of bounds that he used kids? No. Was it classy? No. But classiness doesn't seem to be much on his mind. Perhaps his staffers were thinking less about gun control than warming up his image—"Julia, I will try very hard"—and trying to get people to think of him, after four years, and with his graying hair, as Papa Obama, instead of Irritating Older Brother Who Got 750 On His SATs And Thinks He's Einstein Obama. Which is sort of how half the country sees him.

    His gun-control recommendations themselves seemed, on balance, reasonable and moderate. I don't remember that the Second Amendment died when Bill Clinton banned assault rifles; it seemed to thrive, and good, too. That ban shouldn't have been allowed to expire in 2004.

    What was offensive about the president's recommendations is what they excluded. He had nothing to say about America's culture of violence—its movies, TV shows and videogames. Excuse me, there will be a study of videogames; they are going to do "research" on whether seeing 10,000 heads explode on video screens every day might lead unstable young men to think about making heads explode. You'll need a real genius to figure that out.

    The president at one point asked congressmen in traditionally gun-supporting districts to take a chance, do the right thing and support some limits. But when it comes to challenging Hollywood—where he traditionally gets support, and from which he has taken great amounts of money for past campaigns and no doubt will for future libraries—he doesn't seem to think he has to do the right thing. He doesn't even have to talk about it. It wouldn't be good to have Steven Spielberg or Quentin Tarantino running around shouting "First Amendment, slippery slope!" or have various powerful and admired actors worrying their brows, to the extent their brows can be worried.

    On cultural issues, this Democratic president could have done a Nixon to China—the bold move that only he could make without inspiring fierce dissent, the move that could break through.

    Instead he did a Nixon to the Orange County GOP.

    Maybe the president doesn't operate with as much good faith as he thinks, and maybe the other side isn't as bad as he pretends. As I watched his news conference and his gun-control remarks, I thought, for the first time in a while, that the Republicans are finally getting a break.

    He is overplaying his hand.

    He does that. He's doing it again.

    comments

    e minutes:

    Jim Baker, NRA-ILA's Director of Federal Affairs, represented NRA at the meeting. As detailed in a recent Daily Caller article, Mr. Baker was given five minutes to present NRA's concerns and the approach NRA saw as being the most effective way to safeguard our children. During those five minutes, Baker mentioned the need to vigorously prosecute existing gun laws. He further noted the low number of prosecutions for falsifying information on Form 4473s, and the low felony prosecution rate for gun crimes in general.

    In response to Mr. Baker's comments, Vice-President Biden said, "And to your point, Mr. Baker, regarding the lack of prosecutions on lying on Form 4473s, we simply don't have the time or manpower to prosecute everybody who lies on a form, that checks a wrong box, that answers a question inaccurately."

    That's right: Biden said the administration just doesn't have time to prosecute crimes (felonies punishable by up to a 10-year prison sentence) under existing laws, but is proposing a host of sweeping new laws.

    Five minutes.

    Obama & Co. want more laws, when they won't and don't enforce the current laws.

    I don't think so.

    ...

    President Obama started a new Bureaucracy called the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). It already has over 950 employees, 60% of which make $100,000 a year. That is $57,000,000 in salary alone for a little more than half of its employees.

    What do they do?

    Payday Lenders lend money at 15% per 14-day period and tell their clients that the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) on those loans is 391.07%. That is a violation of the Federal Truth in Lending Act. 15% per 14-day period and 391.07% per annum are two DIFFERENT growth rates. Which one is applicable?

    If anybody can show me how something, a payday loan or a kumquat, can grow at 15% per 14-day period and simultaneously at 391.07% per annum, I will give that person $50,000.

    I have submitted this to the CFPB and also to the South Carolina Attorney General’s office.

    The Audacity of Fluff: A Critical Reading of Obama's Inaugural Address
    By Conor Friedersdor ~ Jan 22 2013, 6:01 AM ET107

    The president's words elided inconvenient realities and too often lacked rigor.

    SARGE: What I Heard Obama Say
    Posted by: Sarge on Tuesday, January 22, 2013, 10:34

    (A more realistic transcript interpretation of Beaurat Obama’s Inauguration Speech)

    http://thehayride.com/2013/01/sarge-...ard-obama-say/

    ice President Biden, Mr. Chief Justice, Members of the United States Congress, distinguished guests and all you other people choking on my inauguration:

    Each time we gather to immortalize and deify me we bear witness to the shredding of our Constitution. We subvert the promise of democracy. We recall what binds this nation together is not the fact I’m confused in my birthright but that I’m confusing you as to yours. What will make us exceptional as Americans – is your allegiance to any cockamamie idea I declare has merit.

    “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”

    Today we continue a never-ending journey, to twist the meaning of those words with the realities of my ideological agenda. History tells us while these truths may be self-evident, they have never been self-executing; that while freedom is a gift from God, it can be wrested from people here on Earth. The patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king, they set in motion the chance a poor intellectually challenged person such as I could lie, cheat and bamboozle my way to the highest elected office in the land. They gave to us a Republic, a government of, and by, and for the people originally, but steadily being subverted by yahoos like me.

    Through blood drawn by lash and blood drawn by well-chosen words, we learned no union founded on the principles of liberty and equality could survive under my influence.

    Together, we determined a modern economy requires railroads and highways to speed travel and commerce must be regulated to death by government; schools and colleges should be fiscally out of reach of the common workers.

    Together, we discovered a free market dies when there are rules to ensure competition and fair play are legislated and enforced by fascist governmental agencies. But, enough about the IRS. Together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from themselves.

    We relinquished our skepticism of central authority, we succumbed to the fiction that all society’s ills can be cured through government alone. Our celebration of initiative and enterprise; our insistence on hard work and personal responsibility, have been replaced by never-ending unemployment numbers above 7.8%; and rewarding any and all willing to milk the system dry.

    We’ve always understood with time we can force fundamental changes. Fidelity to Marx’s principles requires hackneyed responses to new challenges. Ultimately collective action is required to displace individual freedoms. The American people can no more meet the demands of today’s world by acting alone than American soldiers could have met the forces of fascism or communism with muskets and militias; though we will test this theory with across the board Defense cuts. Now, more than ever, we must do these things together, as one Progressive Socialist nation, and one Marxist people.

    Americans are tested by crises stealing our resolve and taxing our resilience. America’s possibilities are being limited for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands and we should supply them with: youth, drive, diversity, openness and endless risk-taking with American’s taxes.

    We understand our country cannot succeed when we remove a few people’s shrinking profits and give those profits to a growing many barely make it. We believe America’s prosperity must be wrest from the broad shoulders of a rising middle class. We know America thrives when every person sacrifices their independence and pride in their work; when increasing taxes on honest labor crowd families past the brink of hardship. We’re true to our creed when a little girl knows that if she’s not been aborted, she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else as long as she keeps dodging bullets in her gun-controlled neighborhood.

    We understand outworn programs are inadequate to the needs of our time. We must remake our government, ignore an over-bearing, indecipherable tax code, demolish more reform schools, and empower citizens with the skills in completing welfare and food stamp paperwork already harder to complete than it need be. The middle class must work harder, pay more, and pray to their higher power ‘cause help ain’t coming from the Left. While the means will change, our Socialist dream endures: a nation rewarding the indifference to personal effort and determination of every single American. That’s what this moment requires. That’s what will give real meaning to my creed.

    We, the people, still believe every citizen deserves to feel insecure and undignified. We must suffer the hard choices to reduce health care and the increase the size of our deficit. We reject that Americans must care for the generation built this country. We must invest in the generation that will build our Corporatist future. We remember the lessons of our past, when twilight years were spent in poverty, and parents of a child with a disability had nowhere to turn. We endorse this. We believe in this country, freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few seeing it my way. We recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives, any one of us, at any time, may face a job loss, or a sudden illness, or a home swept away in a terrible storm. We recognize government will promise much and deliver little in their times of jeopardy. The commitments we make to each other – through Medicare, and Medicaid, and Social Security – these things don’t sap our initiative; but ignoring them strengthens me and my people. They make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country great like: Solyndra, Evergreen Solar and Johnson Controls.

    We believe that our obligations are just to ourselves, and not your posterity. We will respond to the threat of climate change, because Al Gore says he needs more money. His hot air can cause the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought, and more powerful storms. The path towards sustainable energy sources will be long and difficult. But Americans who resist this transition will be vilified and demonized. We cannot cede the technology that will power new jobs and new industries – we must promote outsourcing as much as possible. That’s how we’ll promote economic sterility.

    We still believe enduring security and lasting peace don’t require warriors. Our brave men and women in uniform know too well the price that’s paid for liberty. The knowledge of their sacrifice will keep us forever vigilant against those who would arm them properly. We’re heirs to those who won the peace and not the war against internal enemies of that outdated and flawed Constitution some still hold dear.

    We will defend our people somehow after using the rule of law to disarm our citizens. We’ll show the courage to resolve our differences with other nations peacefully – not because we’re naïve about the dangers we face, (we are) but because we fear we’ll be thought badly of. America will renew those institutions that extend our capacity to mismanage crisis abroad. We’ll support democracy from Asia to Africa; from the Americas to the Middle East, unless it runs contrary to Sharia Law. Our interests and our conscience compel us to act on behalf of those who long for freedom by not interfering in those countries’ internal affairs. And we must be a source of hope to the poor, the sick, the marginalized, the victims of prejudice – not out of mere charity, but because it makes my administration look good.

    We, declare today that the most evident of truths – that all of us politicians are created equal – is the star guiding politicians still.

    It’s now our generation’s task to carry on what those Marxist pioneers began. Our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers, and daughters can earn as little as men do. Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are abused like everyone else under the law. Our journey is not complete until no citizen, no matter what country they are a citizen of, is forced to wait for hours to exercise the right to vote in America. Our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome and grant unlimited amnesty and access to Democratic Party Voter Rolls, the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity; until undocumented, bright young students and engineers are enlisted in our workforce displacing native born citizens of a chance to get a slice of the pie I’m giving illegal immigrants, rather than expelling them from our country.

    That’s our generation’s task – to make these words, these rights, these values – of Life, and Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness – real for every undocumented alien to enter America. Being true to our founding documents does not require us to agree on every contour of life; we’ve proven we can bypass anything by Executive Order; it mean we’ll all define liberty in exactly the same revisionist and revolutionary way. Progress doesn’t compel us to settle centuries-long debates about the role of government for all time – but it does require us to act in our self-interest at all times.

    We cannot mistake governmental absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate. We must act as I alone command, knowing that our work and I will be perfect. We must act, knowing today’s victories will be up to those who stand here in four years, and forty years, and four hundred years hence to advance the timeless spirit once conferred to us in a spare Philadelphia hall and in the European Parlors Marx and Engels prognosticated, bloviated and pontificated within.

    My fellow Americans, the oath I have sworn before you today, like the one recited by others who serve in this Capitol, was an oath to party, faction and empty ideology– and we must faithfully execute that pledge during the duration of our service. The words I spoke today are so different from the oath taken each time a soldier signs up for duty. My oath is so different from the pledge we all make to the flag that waves above and that fills our hearts with pride.

    They are the words represent my greatest hope. I have the power to set this country’s course.

    I have the obligation to shape the debates of our time – not with the votes you cast, but with the voices we lift in controversy to our most ancient values and enduring ideals. Let each of us now embrace, with solemn duty and awesome joy, what is our lasting birthright. With common effort and common purpose, with passion and dedication, let us deny the call of history, and carry into an uncertain future my precious hope for the Unified Socialist States of America.

    Thank you, God Bless you, and may He forever bless me and my ideals more than yours.

    Thanks for listening.

    Two lines that sum up Obama’s presidency

    January 21, 2013 | 1:55 pm | Modified: January 21, 2013 at 2:10 pm

    President Obama’s Second Inaugural Address was devoid of memorable lines, but for me, two of them jumped out: “We must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit. But we reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future.”

    Throughout his presidency, Obama has rhetorically wanted to establish himself as a transformational leader who was willing to tackle the nation’s tough problems, but when push came to shove, he has dodged them. This has been especially true than when it comes to dealing with the nation’s debt burden.

    In his first inaugural speech four years ago, Obama condemned “our collective failure to make hard choices…” On February 23, 2009, just days after passing his $800 billion economic stimulus law, Obama hosted a “fiscal responsibility summit” at the White House in which he pledged, “to cut the deficit we inherited by half by the end of my first term in office.” He said, “this will not be easy. It will require us to make difficult decisions and face challenges we’ve long neglected. But I refuse to leave our children with a debt that they cannot repay, and that means taken responsibility right now, in this administration, for getting our spending under control.” He also emphasized, “In the coming years, we’ll be forced to make more tough choices, and do much more to address our long-term challenges.”

    Yet the reality was much different. During his first term, Obama did little to restrain spending or make any sort of “tough choices” on deficits. His health care law did raise taxes and cut Medicare, but to finance a new entitlement slated to cost $1.7 trillion over the next decade. In 2010, Obama appointed a deficit reduction commission that was touted as a step toward dealing with the long-term debt problem, but in reality was merely a way of deflecting questions about deficits. For instance, at a July 2010 press availability, Obama declared, “We have put forward a fiscal commission that is then going to examine how do we deal with these broader structural deficits. So this isn’t just an empty promise. We’ve already started taking steps to deal with it, and we’re going to be very aggressive in how we deal with it.” Yet when the commission delivered its recommendations at the end of the year, Obama took the “aggressive” step of ignoring them. The only actual spending cuts Obama did agree to in his first term were in response to so-called Republican hostage-taking, but even then, he declined to address the long-term challenge of reforming the nation’s broken entitlement system and attacked Republican proposals that did so.

    The end result is that when Obama first took the oath of office, the nation’s total outstanding debt was $10.6 trillion. When he was sworn in Monday, it stood at $16.4 trillion – and the Congressional Budget Office sees additional deficits ranging from $6.9 trillion to $9.2 trillion over the next decade, depending on the baseline used. Obama didn’t come close to meeting his pledge to cut annual deficits in half by the end of his first term and still hasn’t offered a plan to reform the nation’s broken entitlement system. He has talked of making “modest adjustments” to entitlement programs while raising taxes only on the very rich, when any serious budget analysis shows that getting the debt under control will require either massive cuts to entitlement spending, huge tax increases on the middle class, or some combination of both.

    This brings us to the two lines in Monday’s speech. He declared that, “We must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit.” This is Barack Obama, bold leader speaking (with an extra twist of irony given that the signature legislative accomplishment of his first term was supposedly aimed at containing the growth of health care costs). Then, he said, “But we reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future.” Translation: he isn’t going to do anything to seriously reform Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid, and wants more economic stimulus spending, too. So, within a breath of calling for hard choices, he rejected the need for them. I can think of no more fitting summation of Obama’s presidency.

    Obama’s First Four Years – A Retrospective

    Written on Wednesday, January 23, 2013 by Robert Owen

    I did not vote for Barack Obama in his first presidential election. To my somewhat devious mind anyone that says that he wants to basically change America, a country that most of us love, without giving details of how and why, scares the living bleep out of me. Unfortunately there were many people that thought that a fine plan.

    The Republicans put up, possibly, the worst candidate they could find. John McCain is a good man and a patriot. He should be honored and respected. But he was not a winnable presidential candidate. Sarah Palin is a great lady and a powerful and competent woman. She would a fine person to have as a friend. But the two, McCain/ Palin, is probably the worst ticket that the Republicans could assemble. With a press corps (for Barack that is pronounced core not corpse) that was dedicated to an Obama win, those two sacrificial lambs had no chance.

    That, having been said, when the results came in and it was obvious that Obama won, many were kind of proud of their country. We had taken a bunch of lumps over slavery even though that was long in the past. The Jim Crow laws of the South’s past were very ugly. Also our country took a lot of abuse about racism from European countries that love to hate us and are so ethnocentric something like this would be impossible in their little part of the world. Most wished Mr. Obama well and prayed that he would be a good and fair President of our beloved nation.

    Mr. Obama campaigned on being the post racial President. He announced that he was the President for all Americans. He claimed he would bring us all together, bring back jobs, and restore the economy. So, my friends, here we sit, four years later. And isn’t it a mess.

    The two big issues were the economy and jobs. His campaign premise was that George Bush had destroyed the economy and that Obama had the knowledge and skill to turn it around. Once elected he forgot about the economy and focused on health care. For two straight years it was all about health care as the economy worsened.

    When questioned as to why things were not improving, we were told that the economy was far worse than he had imagined. Now, Obama was a Senator and as President elect, he and his transitional staff were thoroughly briefed by the White House. Any questions they had were answered in full. How could he not have known.??

    The next two years were lost in a heightened campaign mode and constant infighting with the House of Representatives. The House, due to their short terms, are considered to be the body closest to the electorate. They are expected to be the primary body of checks and balances to prevent presidential excess. Obama and his minions in the press found that intolerable. So they excoriated the House Republicans because they did not just give the President everything he wished for. Ultimately very little was accomplished by those that were elected.

    Those that were appointed, on the other hand, did a lot. All those government agencies produced regulation after regulation. They drained money out of the economy through fines and fees. They caused increased unemployment by shutting down coal mines and the electric generating plants that relied on that coal. They placed oil fields off limits.

    Meanwhile, business people that wanted to expand their business and hire more employees sat on their cash and did nothing. They feared the regulators. They feared increased health care costs. They feared tax increases. So business stagnated and continues to stagnate today.

    After four years, here we sit. Certainly no better off. Possibly worse off. Still worrying about jobs and the economy. The President has said that he will focus on gun control, climate change, immigration, and painting the Republicans as the enemy rather than the loyal opposition for his second term. Thinking about the last four years, I am not hopeful looking forward to the next four.

    Don't forget the raid on Gibson Guitars. They were told they would be better off making guitars overseas.

    Also Peter Schiff of Europacific Capital was fined for hiring too many people.

    Who knows how many similar incidents there have been that have not been reported.

    Here is a quote from Mr Schiff;
    "In my own business, securities regulations have prohibited me from hiring brokers for more than three years. I was even fined fifteen thousand dollar expressly for hiring too many brokers in 2008. In the process I incurred more than $500,000 in legal bills to mitigate a more severe regulatory outcome as a result of hiring too many workers. I have also been prohibited from opening up additional offices. I had a major expansion plan that would have resulted in my creating hundreds of additional jobs. Regulations have forced me to put those jobs on hold."
    Does this really sound like an administration that cares about jobs. Just the opposite I believe.

    Exposed: Ozombies Making Stuff Up About Obama
    01/22/13

    Jimmy Kimmell ran a prank where he asked people on the street what they thought of Obama's inauguration which hadn't even happened yet.

    What did you think of President Obama’s second inauguration? If you answered “It doesn’t happen until Monday,” then you weren’t on Jimmy Kimmel Live! this week.

    Kimmel’s latest prank involves the second inauguration of President Barack Obama, which happens on Monday. But people’s opinions of it so far regarded the ceremony as “awesome,” “moving” and “you know, part of history.”

    But they’re a little early. The second inauguration doesn’t actually happen for a few more days. But we heard Joe Biden cried, it was so momentous.

    “It was awesome,” one woman said. “It was, you know, part of history. It was really nice to see him up there, getting his second term. Proud of him.”

    Her favorite part was Obama’s speech, during which he was “talking about what he’s going to do for us, not what he’s going to do for the other countries, what he’s going to do for America.”

    The $2 million ‘immigration reform’ speech:
    Obama flying from DC to Las Vegas for address at a high school, then flying back to DC


    By Doug Powers • January 29, 2013 11:52 AM

    Green light: It’s okay to blow a bunch of cash on Vegas again. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...Las-Vegas.html Well, taxpayer cash anyway: http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/...on_698171.html

    President Barack Obama will fly over 9 hours tomorrow, round-trip from Washington, D.C. to Las Vegas, Nevada, just to deliver a speech on immigration, according to the president’s White House schedule. With Air Force One estimated to cost $182,000 per hour in flight, Obama’s trip — that is, only his travel to and from Vegas — will cost taxpayers over $1.6 million.

    Obama has no other public events scheduled in Las Vegas but his immigration speech.
    A round trip, 5,000 mile AF-1 flight burning somewhere in the neighborhood of 25,000 gallons of fuel for one address at a high school will also be the perfect set-up for Obama’s next speech on global warming. Add in motorcade, helicopter, security, teleprompter support staff, etc., and this might amount to over a $2 million speech. That’s enough to pay off Anna Wintour’s boyfriend’s back taxes with some left to spare.

    Last October Valerie Jarrett promised that if Obama were re-elected he’d travel the country more, and so far that’s holding true.

    Flying in the wake of Air Force One en route to Vegas are a bunch of Big Labor bosses. Union membership is down and this might be just what the Obamacare doctor ordered.

    Here’s today’s schedule. The president’s not even going to stay in the Vegas area long enough for some skeet shooting and a cowboy poetry reading with Harry Reid: http://www.whitehouse.gov/schedule/president



    **Written by Doug Powers http://michellemalkin.com/2013/01/29...ng-dc-address/

    The president will fly all that way, speak a whole lot of tear jerking BS, surrounded by the Hispanic children of foreigners.

    How does a flood of illegal behavior trump our laws or the will of the people, for decades?

    He will spend more time flying to and from Vegas than he will in Vegas.
