In his weekly radio address propaganda diatribe, the President of the United States and Hypocrite in Chief Barack Hussein Obama pointed his bony finger of hypocritical indignation at the Republican Party regarding the First Amendment Death Knell Campaign Finance bill now stalled in the U.S Senate.

In his address, Obama whines:

Now, the special interests want to take Congress back, and return to the days when lobbyists wrote the laws. And a partisan minority in Congress is hoping their defense of these special interests and the status quo will be rewarded with a flood of negative ads against their opponents. It’s a power grab, pure and simple. They’re hoping they can ride this wave of unchecked influence all the way to victory.

What is clear is that Congress has a responsibility to act. But the truth is, any law will come too late to prevent the damage that has already been done this election season. That is why, any time you see an attack ad by one of these shadowy groups, you should ask yourself, who is paying for this ad? Is it the health insurance lobby? The oil industry? The credit card companies?

Conspicuously missing from the oh-so-pure-as-the-wind-driven-snow President’s laundry list of bogeymen are his own merry band of corruptive contributors.

SEIU, anyone? George Soros , anyone?

Excuse me, Barack- do you have any modicum of intellectual honesty and/or decency in any sector of your corrupt psyche? Must every word that comes out of your mouth be one of prevarication and blatant hypocrisy?

But then again, how could a sorry sot like yourself have gotten elected in the first place.

My bad-I should have surmised.

Sorry to interrupt, Mr. President.

Please carry on with your golf game.

He’s calling in big guns to held fend off an energetic challenger:

U.S. Rep. Barney Frank – suddenly the target of an energized GOP and a hard-charging young opponent – has called in Bill Clinton for a Bubba Bailout in an apparent sign that one of the Bay State’s safest congressional seats may not be immune from voters’ throw-the-bums-out rage.

Both Democratic and Republican observers acknowledge Frank might need big guns in this dreaded turnover year, but the 30-year veteran congressman insisted it’s just politics as usual…

Will Frank win? More than likely – given his cash on hand, universal name recognition and the make-up of his district, the chances of even the best possible Republican who runs the best campaign would only be about 1 in 10. But that is a far cry from the normal – which is usually Frank being effectively un-opposed (he had a GOP challenger in 2008 – the first in a while – and that challenger got 24% of the vote). This is a race which should be an absolute, sure-thing for Frank. In 2010, it simply isn’t.

The plain fact of the matter is that any Democrat who draws a challenger who is in any way active and aggressive is a vulnerable Democrat, at least to a certain degree. The only absolutely safe Democrats are those running un-opposed (and if there are any that is a glaring failure of the GOP…we should run in all 435 House districts, every election). Had Democrats not ignored the TEA Party and actually thought about it, then there would be a lot of Democrats challenging long-term GOP officeholders on an “outsider vs insider” campaign. This would not have worked as well against the GOP, but it would have probably resulted in some incumbent GOPers being defeated. Democrats preferred to hold to the belief that there had been a liberal re-alignment in 2008 – now they are going to pay the price for that miscalculation.

If you’d like to help shock the political world, then go here and support Frank’s opponent, Sean Bielat.

Sorry boys and girls, just got too tired on Friday night to put something out for you. I’ll get something up a little later.

The Ruling Class doesn’t want to give up power:

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (I-AK) will run for re-election as a write-in candidate after losing her bid for renomination, according to sources briefed on Murkowski’s decision.

Murkowski’s decision will set up a 3-way battle between the incumbent, Miller and Sitka Mayor Scott McAdams (D), potentially turning the race on its head. Private 3-way polling has shown Miller leading, but by a narrow margin…

She needs to be immediately stripped of her committee assignments and forbidden to caucus with the GOP. This is a complete betrayal of all Republicans, everywhere – seeing Alaska as the merest means of getting herself in to elite circles in DC, she can’t get over the fact that the party is over, the people have rejected her. And now she’s unmasked herself as a self-absorbed, establishment back-stabber.

Democrats, if you want her, you can have her…but I’d warn that once she knifes one side in the back, she’s likely to do it to anyone foolish enough to befriend her.

UPDATE: The best answer we Republicans can give to this is to support Joe Miller. Whatever you can give or do.

UPDATE II: From Professor Jacobson:

We were right.

Charlie Crist, Mike Castle, now Lisa Murkowski.

We have proven our point.

All of those who said that we should back the RINO because its good politics – this is your answer: its not a surprise that these people have betrayed us. That is what RINOs do – they live for their chance to buddy up to their fellows in the Ruling Class at the expense of the people. The events of the 2010 primary season have just made this fact unmistakable.

Poor, little Olympia Snowe – she’s feeling a bit put out by Mike Castle’s defeat:

…The reality is that being part of a shrinking wing of her party is not new for Snowe. She used to be one of many moderate New England Republicans, but the group has dwindled over the past decade after being defeated by Democrats, never mind conservative Republicans.

“I’ve always been on the outside looking in, in the world I live in. When you’re a minority, moderate, New England, woman, Republican woman, you don’t get more outside than that. Do you? I’m a minority within a minority,” Snowe said laughing, “I’ve been fighting my whole life.”

Yeah, those Republican women are surely a put-upon minority. I mean, except for Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman, Sharron Angle, Carly Fiorina, Meg Whitman, Christine O’Donnell, Nikki Haley, Kelley Ayotte and the literal hundreds of other women who are running as Republicans in 2010, there is simply no place for women in the GOP. Hopefully, Ms. Snowe will manage to keep the torch burning until such time as the GOP becomes more welcoming to women…

Memo to Senator Snowe and all other RINOs: we don’t mind you staking out some liberal opinions. Everyone is entitled to their own views and it is your constituents who will decide if you’re going to be returned to office. There are only two things we insist up:

1. That the establishment not try to dictate to the rank and file who the nominee will be. You, Ms. Snowe, might draw a primary challenger in your next outing…we expect you to accept that with good grace, run a spirited but respectful campaign and then abide by the will of the people.

2. Once you have taken our sweat and treasure to help get elected or re-elected, we expect that on the crucial issues, you’ll stick with us. The crucial issues can vary over time, but for 2010 let’s just say they are definitely: no tax increases, spending must be cut. If you can’t go along with a few minimal requirements, then perhaps it is time to think of moving on.

No, I’m not kidding:

…Visiting the state’s wealthiest town for the first time as president, Obama hauled in $1 million at a $30,400-a-plate fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee at the Conyers Farm estate of real estate prospector Richard Richman and his wife Ellen Schapps Richman…

Nothing like a little party with Richie Richman, I guess. Or is he known as “Dick” among his fellow fat cats? Given the name of the place, I wonder if the after-dinner conversation turned on Mrs. Conyers going to jail?

You can’t parody these people any more – they do it, themselves.

From HuffPo:

…DPW has received $70.65 million and created or retained 45.46 jobs, though they are expected to create 238 jobs overall (the fraction of a job created or retained correlates to the number of actual hours works). LADOT has been awarded $40.8 million and created or retained 9 jobs, though they are expected to create 26 jobs overall. Overall, the Departments have received $111 million in federal stimulus funds out of the $594 million the City has been awarded so far and created or retained 54.46 jobs…

Government cannot actually create jobs, it can only spend money. Jobs are created when wealth is created – when a new factory comes on line, a mine opens up, or a field is plowed. If you’re not doing one of those three things, or at least supporting directly those actions, then all you’re doing is expending wealth with no return. The “jobs” for $111 million just represent a net reduction of national wealth.

It is worthwhile to remember that aside from a few who have absorbed the teachings of Hayek, the people who run our economy and government have all been taught that it was government spending and regulation which got us out of the Great Depression, and will work like magic any time the economy slumps. They are not taught this as a debatable idea: they go through primary school, college and graduate school with this concept being related as if it is a scientific fact.

The reality is that the New Deal not only didn’t cure the Depression, but made it worse. To get a clear picture, one must actually take a step back from the New Deal – two steps, actually, because you have to go back before Hoover. Hoover was just FDR-lite. He taxed and spent like mad to try and cure the economic slump signaled by the stock market crash of 1929. FDR just doubled (or, more accurately, tripled) down and spent and taxed even more.

The underlying basis of the acceptance of these moves was a conviction that the crash and slump were the result of a fundamental flaw in free market economics. That the real cause of the crash was a simply lack of demand brought about by the world missing 20 million people who would have been in their peak consumption and production years entirely escaped contemporary observers (the crash happened just shy of 11 years after the end of WWI, which took 10 million lives, and the “Spanish ‘flu” which took another 10 and perhaps as many as 20 million lives…the lives lost in these disasters were primarily younger people). A simple adjustment was necessary – and it was happening, a bit brutally, in an economic slide…which would have ended in a couple years once equilibrium was established, and then growth could have resumed. Around the world, government intervention was instigated, and everything simply went all to heck (getting out of the Depression was not caused by WWII – it was caused by the massive post-war population boom which stimulated global demand to such a point that even an over-taxed and regulated economy could prosper…until the population boom wore off towards the end of the 1960’s).

Because we are locked in to what amounts to an economic lie, we see things like this astounding $111 million for 54 “jobs”. The Powers That Be are doing what they have been instructed to do – they can do no other, because they don’t even suspect there is a different way. Only a complete sweep of the dead economics of the past 80 years will allow us to get out of this. A return to sound money, balanced budgets and low taxes is the cure for what ails us..and its just a tragedy that it will have to wait, at least, until Obama is out of office before we can even start the ball rolling in a meaningful way.

Global warming? Waaaay too yesterday – from Fox News:

From the administration that brought you “man-caused disaster” and “overseas contingency operation,” another terminology change is in the pipeline.

The White House wants the public to start using the term “global climate disruption” in place of “global warming” — fearing the latter term oversimplifies the problem and makes it sound less dangerous than it really is…

It is a very typical thing among liberals – terminology changes as a means of ever confusing issues to make it hard to attack them. Global warming is falling in to disrepute as the lies used to bolster it are exposed…so, rather than just admit error, our liberals will simply pour the old wine in to a new bottle.

Is is just me, or are these people just getting more and more ridiculous by the day?

Wow, Obama and the Democrat Congress are really helping out the little guy.

The ranks of the working-age poor climbed to the highest level since the 1960s as the recession threw millions of people out of work last year, leaving one in seven Americans in poverty.

The overall poverty rate climbed to 14.3 percent, or 43.6 million people, the Census Bureau said Thursday in its annual report on the economic well-being of U.S. households. The report covers 2009, President Barack Obama’s first year in office.

The poverty rate increased from 13.2 percent, or 39.8 million people, in 2008.

The share of Americans without health coverage rose from 15.4 percent to 16.7 percent — or 50.7 million people — mostly because of the loss of employer-provided health insurance during the recession. Congress passed a health overhaul this year to address the rising numbers of uninsured people, but its main provisions will not take effect until 2014.
