This is interesting reading, a pamplet touting a new author, Barrack Obama, born in Kenya, educated in Indonesia and Hawaii....hmm. Obama the Convenient Liar
It's also interesting that Obama offered his former pastor a $150,000 bribe to stay quiet. That's a felony. If any of this stuff turns out to be true, the Democratic Party will have a lot to answer for...
PRICELESS: National Co-Chair for Obama’s Reelection Campaign Is a Private Equity Manager Whose Firm Closed Factories and Terminated Hundreds of Workers Federico Peña, vulture capitalist (The Daily Caller) — One of President Barack Obama’s top campaign spokesmen is a private equity manager whose firm has shut down several factories and laid off hundreds of people amid a stalled economy. Federico Pena’s role at Vestar Capital Partners has emerged as Obama’s aides and deputies continue their effort to portray former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s investment career as ruthless, job-destroying, profit-maximizing “vulture capitalism.” Pena has been a partner at Vestar since 2000. Pena is a former mayor of Denver in swing-state Colorado, a former cabinet member for President Bill Clinton and one of 35 “national co-chairs” of the president’s 2012 campaign. . . . Pena has already contributed $5,000 to Obama’s campaign, even though Vestar laid off 1,000 workers from Del Monte this month, closed three factories and laid off 540 people at Solo Cup Co., and fired another 500 workers at BirdsEye food-processor in 2006, according to the report. The Pena revelation follows reports highlighting the venture capital careers of two people on the president’s jobs council. Richard Parsons, chairman of Citigroup, is a senior adviser at Providence Equity Partners, and Mark Gallogly is a co-founder of Centerbridge Partners. . . .
And the lies and hypocrisy continue to pile up. Yet the polls continue to show this guy ahead, very close but ahead. Go figure.
Two Years Ago Today: Obama Celebrates Solyndra: “The Future Is Here”… Via Byron York: Two years ago today, May 26, 2010, President Obama traveled to Fremont, California to showcase a “brighter and more prosperous future” promised by the green-energy company Solyndra. The solar panel maker went bankrupt last year, taking with it $535 million in taxpayer-funded loan guarantees. More than 1,000 people lost their jobs. The Obama administration had cut corners to rush money to Solyndra, with some of the beneficiaries being top Obama fundraisers. Even as Solyndra failed, the administration considered giving it another $469 million. But on this day in 2010, with Solyndra already facing serious obstacles, President Obama was filled with optimism. “The true engine of economic growth will always be companies like Solyndra,” the president said. “Less than a year ago, we were standing on what was an empty lot. But through the Recovery Act, this company received a loan to expand its operations. This new factory is the result of those loans.” “We’ve placed a big emphasis on clean energy,” Obama continued. “It’s the right thing to do for our environment, it’s the right thing to do for our national security, but it’s also the right thing to do for our economy…When it’s completed in a few months, Solyndra expects to hire a thousand workers to manufacture solar panels and sell them across America and around the world.” “It’s happening right now. The future is here,” Obama said. “It’s here that companies like Solyndra are leading the way toward a brighter and more prosperous future.” Fifteen months later, Solyndra was bankrupt, and that taxpayers’ money was lost.

NYT: Nobel Peace Prize Winning President Personally Oversees ‘Kill List’ Home - by Cardigan - May 30, 2012 - 09:08 America/New_York - 12 Comments Peacenik lefties, is this the Hope and Change you were looking for? Barack Obama has insisted on personally approving a ‘kill list’ of Al Qaeda terrorists who should be hunted down and executed, according to reports. The U.S. president requests that his advisers draw up ‘baseball cards’ with pictures and biographies that he pores over to see who should live and who should die. As part of the bizarre ‘nomination’ process he then retires for personal reflection to work out whether or not to order a drone strike to take them out. No president in history has taken such a singular role in deciding such matters, The New York Times reported. Wait… waterboarding terror suspects is a crime against humanity, but personally selecting them to be blown into a thousand pieces based on info from a bubble gum card is acceptable?
Obama Completely Oblivious To Reality, Plans To Attack Romney Over Broken Promises… No lobbyists in the White House, close Gitmo, a “post-racial” America, cut the deficit in half, you can keep your healthcare plan if you like it, win the war in Afghanistan, are just a few of Obama’s slew of broken promises. Via National Review: It’s a lot easier to run a slashing, negative campaign when you’re completely, totally, unbelievably oblivious to your own faults: The Obama campaign is opening a new front in its war against GOP rival Mitt Romney, ABC News has learned, with planned attacks to begin this week on Romney’s record as governor of Massachusetts and the campaign promises Democrats say he left unfulfilled. Team Obama will point to Romney’s rhetoric on job creation, size of government, education, deficits and taxes during the 2002 gubernatorial campaign and draw parallels with his presidential stump speeches of 2012. The goal is to illustrate that Romney has made the same promises before with unimpressive results, officials say. Ah, charges of unfulfilled promises from President Barack “If I don’t have this done in three years, then this is going to be a one-term proposition” Obama, the man who pledged who cut the deficit in half in his first term, the man who criticized Hillary Clinton’s proposal for a mandate requiring Americans to purchase health insurance, is going to hit his opponent on broken promises
What is so incredible is the acceptance by Democratis voters of broken promises. They know that their candidate has to lie to get elected. The accept that the end justifies the means. Their candidates will say anything to con the independents to vote for them and then completely disregard thier promises once that they're elected. Compare that with for instance George Bush senior who made the memorable promise "read my lips, no new taxes." He then signed a tax increase bill and found himself out on his ass as a one term president. It's no wonder Dems like Clinton can go in front of a camera at baldly lie about having sex with Lewinski. They do it over and over again and usually get away with it.
Makers v. Takers. Just released news story claims that 49. 1% of households are on some form of public assistance. That is Obama building his constituency up for the election. I believe at this time the race is about even too. We are borrowing money to pay entitlements! How could anyone vote for this clown? To vote for Obama shows an alarming lack of self-worth.
We are borrowing money from the CHINESE to pay these entitlements. If the Red Chinese ever attack Taiwan, we will have the choice of financing BOTH sides of that war or betraying our allies in favor of our Red creditors...

Remember the Keystone XL Segment Pres. Obama “Fast-Tracked”? Home - by Cardigan - June 2, 2012 - 14:00 America/New_York - 6 Comments RedState EPA has concerns for pipeline near coast HOUSTON — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is concerned that permitting for the southern segment of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline could be insufficient and has asked for a more extensive review. An official in the EPA’s region that oversees Texas [*] wrote a letter to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers saying 61 water crossings near Galveston are too large for the broad permits being pursued. The official wants an environmental review that includes a public comment period. The letter, written in November, was released today.[**] The corps says it’s reviewing TransCanada’s permit request.
U.S. Taxpayers Still Down $16 Billion On GM Bailout… The fact that the MSM allows Obama to tout this as an accomplishment without questioning him is a testament to their bias. Washington — Republican Mitt Romney believes President Barack Obama is holding on to the government’s stake in General Motors to avoid an embarrassing financial loss before the election, and says he’d sell the stock quickly if he wins the White House. In a wide-ranging half-hour interview with The Detroit News, the presumptive GOP nominee also said he’d review pending rules that will require automakers to almost double fuel efficiency requirements by 2025, and believes Detroit may need a leadership change in order to fix its nagging financial problems. As part of the government’s GM bailout, the U.S. Treasury still holds a 26 percent stake in the Detroit automaker, and has been sitting on that share for 35 months. “There is no reason for the government to continue to hold (its GM stake),” Romney, a Detroit native and son of an auto executive, said Friday. “The president is delaying the sale of the shares to try and avoid the story that the taxpayer took another loss. I would get the company independent from government and run for the interests of the consumer and the enterprise and its workers — not for the political considerations of government officials.” At GM’s Monday closing price of $21.11 a share, the government would lose $16 billion on its $49.5 billion bailout.
Obama Campaign Uses The Two Non-White Interns At Chicago HQ In New Video To Try And Mask Overwhelmingly White Staff… Via Daily Caller: Barack Obama’s Chicago campaign has released a new video that showcases the arrival of a few non-white interns at its overwhelmingly white-staffed campaign office. The video comes after the campaign released a damaging April photograph that showed just two non-white staff in a sea of nearly 100 Caucasian staffers, despite Obama’s reliance on African-American voters to bolster his Democratic base. The April photograph prompted not-for-attribution complaints from some of Obama’s African-American supporters, who decried the gap between the campaign’s quiet hiring of a white campaign staff and Obama’s declared advocacy for African-Americans. The photo also highlighted the gap between Obama’s personal policies and his well-publicized enforcement of controversial race-conscious hiring rules covering corporations and non-profit organizations. The new video, “Being an intern at Obama for American — Apply Today,” focuses on a few non-white interns, ignoring the vast majority of the whites who are seen in “wide” shots, staffing the office.
New Documents Show Obama Once Belonged To Socialist “New Party”… Shockingly not shocking. Via Stanley Kurtz, NRO: On the evening of January 11, 1996, while Mitt Romney was in the final years of his run as the head of Bain Capital, Barack Obama formally joined the New Party, which was deeply hostile to the mainstream of the Democratic party and even to American capitalism. In 2008, candidate Obama deceived the American public about his potentially damaging tie to this third party. The issue remains as fresh as today’s headlines, as Romney argues that Obama is trying to move the United States toward European-style social democracy, which was precisely the New Party’s goal. In late October 2008, when I wrote here at National Review Online that Obama had been a member of the New Party, his campaign sharply denied it, calling my claim a “crackpot smear.” Fight the Smears, an official Obama-campaign website, staunchly maintained that “Barack has been a member of only one political party, the Democratic Party.” I rebutted this, but the debate was never taken up by the mainstream press. Recently obtained evidence from the updated records of Illinois ACORN at the Wisconsin Historical Society now definitively establishes that Obama was a member of the New Party. He also signed a “contract” promising to publicly support and associate himself with the New Party while in office. Minutes of the meeting on January 11, 1996, of the New Party’s Chicago chapter read as follows: Barack Obama, candidate for State Senate in the 13th Legislative District, gave a statement to the membership and answered questions. He signed the New Party “Candidate Contract” and requested an endorsement from the New Party. He also joined the New Party. Consistent with this, a roster of the Chicago chapter of the New Party from early 1997 lists Obama as a member, with January 11, 1996, indicated as the date he joined.
Obama and his minions claim to have created "millions of green jobs." Since nobody in the Golden State has ever seen any of these, California Congressman Darrell Issa decided to ask Obama's people exactly what their definition of a "green job" is... <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hVhKulJRZZw?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0"></iframe>
Flashback: Obama Wants Credit For Supposedly Slimming Government Workforce… Going all the way back to . . .May 8th. <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_ej4ALLyL5I?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0"></iframe> So in the space of one month Obama has gone from patting himself on the back for firing government workers to claiming the economy is still in the tank because Congress won’t let him hire more government workers.
