So Obama didn’t want to criticize the murdering mullahs in Iran for fear that they’d blame the U.S. for their election problems. Of course they did that anyway to no surprise to anyone not in the White House, or with an IQ in triple digits.

But when the hard left president of Honduras gets marched out of his house and out of the country in his pajamas, Obama gets right on the record with his opposition to the “coup”.

Let’s talk about this supposed “coup” for a moment, shall we?  The Honduran president, Manuel Zelaya, was limited by their constitution to a single term.  This didn’t sit well with Zelaya who, like his close friend Hugo Chavez, wanted to be President for Life.  So he got some ballots from Chavez and decided to hold an illegal election.  The Honduras Congress and their Supreme Court opposed this, for obvious reasons, and decided to have Zelaya removed from office.

So the Congress and the Supreme Court asked them military to remove Zelaya, which they did (with no violence) and they then turned over the government to the President of the Congress.

This was hardly a military coup.  In fact, it was an act to prevent a coup by the president.

That didn’t stop Hugo Chavez from condemning it, of course.  Or Raul Castro, that other great fan of freedom and democracy.  The UN weighed in favoring the leftist Zelaya, too.  Shocking, I know.

And so did Barack Obama.  Now I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty much of the mind that if America haters like Chavez and Castro disapprove of something, it must be good.  Sadly, our president, on the other hand, decided to side with the American hating left.  Which just provides further proof that he’s a socialist douchebag.

I love this video, for all kinds of reasons…  She combines politics, Battlestar Galactica, and hotness into three minutes and thirteen seconds of awesome.

Apparently she’s trying to get a show on Fox News Channel.  I fully support this and am surprised it hasn’t happened already.  She appears to fit the Fox mould perfectly.

So GM is going through bankruptcy to come out of it as Government Motors owned 70% by the government (U.S., Canada, and Ontario), 20% by the unions, and 10% by the people who foolishly had invested in it originally.

Those investors are the first ones screwed.  They were owed millions, but were pushed to the back of the line behind Obama’s buddies in the unions.  What do you think will happen the next time GM (or Chrysler, for that matter) goes out looking for private investors?  Yeah, who is dumb enough to sign up with them now and risk getting hosed like the last guys?  Nobody will, at least not unless GM is offering a huge interest rate on their bonds, which puts them squarely, and probably permanently, into junk bond status.

And now we hear how the government, who claims not to really want to run GM but has already fired their CEO, is going to run things.  GM will produce a small subcompact car for sale in the U.S., smaller than anything they’ve sold in the past (and hey, I have an old Geo Metro and it’s tiny).  Originally it was to be produced in China, which meant it would be shitty and unsafe, but cheap.  It was unlikely to work out too well, but it had a slight chance.

But then the unions stepped in, no doubt with blessing from Obama, and declared that GM would be forced to make these pieces of crap here in the U.S.  So now they’ll be shitty, unsafe, and EXPENSIVE.  That’s hardly a winning combination! 

So that’s going to happen?  Well, it’s easy to predict.  Nobody outside a few diehard Democrat weenie supporters will buy the things.  What then?  Obama can’t have his very own car company failing miserably, so he’ll offer tax credits to anyone stupid enough to buy the cars.  And when that fails, too (and it will), you can bet right now that he will look to make it more expensive for anyone to buy anything else.

And that’s when we’re all screwed.

My guess is, we’re all going to be forced to fund this debacle which will probably kill off a lot of the car industry.  And I predict that GM is dead and gone within two years.

So the president is out there claiming to have “saved” 150,000 jobs since the creation of the so-called “stimulous” bill.  How exactly do you “save” a job?  And how do you measure that?  Turns out you don’t.  According to Max Baucus (D):

"You created a situation where you cannot be wrong," said the Montana Democrat. "If the economy loses two million jobs over the next few years, you can say yes, but it would’ve lost 5.5 million jobs. If we create a million jobs, you can say, well, it would have lost 2.5 million jobs. You’ve given yourself complete leverage where you cannot be wrong, because you can take any scenario and make yourself look correct."

Note, that this is coming from a Democrat, not a Republican.  Here’s a Republican, former Bush advisor Greg Mankiw:

"The expression ‘create or save,’ which has been used regularly by the President and his economic team, is an act of political genius," writes Mr. Mankiw. "You can measure how many jobs are created between two points in time. But there is no way to measure how many jobs are saved. Even if things get much, much worse, the President can say that there would have been 4 million fewer jobs without the stimulus."

So what really happened with jobs last month, then?  Well, in truth, unemployment rose to 9.4%.  That’s about 1.6 million jobs lost.  Hardly the same as “saving” 150,000, no?

But Perry, I hear you saying, there is no way our national media would let the president get away with such a stupid and easily disprovable lie!  Really?  Not only is the corrupt media not calling Obama out on it, they’re parroting the fake statistic themselves as if it were a fact.  Some are now referring to the corrupt media as the “state run media”.  They might as well be.  If Obama were in direct control of them, their behavior wouldn’t be any different.

So, Miss California-USA, the majority of voters of California (and of Florida) and Barack Obama all oppose gay marriage.  On the other hand, former Vice President Dick Cheney and I are both fine with it.  Says the Vice President:

"People ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish, any kind of arrangement they wish,” said the laconic former veep, whose daughter Mary is lesbian, and has a son, Sam, with her partner Heather Poe. "I think that freedom means freedom for everyone."

Cheney said “I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish. Any kind of arrangement they wish. The question of whether or not there ought to be a federal statute to protect this, I don’t support. I do believe that the historically the way marriage has been regulated is at the state level. It has always been a state issue and I think that is the way it ought to be handled, on a state-by-state basis. … But I don’t have any problem with that. People ought to get a shot at that."

It has been a theme of lefties that we conservatives should not complain about Obama’s out of control spending because we didn’t complain about Bush’s spending.  That’s not at all true as most of us have been complaining all along, but even if it were, it’s still not a valid argument, as this video shows.  Bush (and every president before him) was a rank amateur at spending, compared to Barry:

This is the kind of thing which just makes you sick.  The proposed 9/11 memorial in Pennsylvania, which is supposed to honor the lives of the passengers on Flight 93, who fought the terrorists to save lives on the ground, has turned into a fascist government land grab.

Eminent domain has been invoked to secure some 500 acres of in Somerset Country, Pa., from seven owners, for a memorial to United Airlines Flight 93, a Boeing 757 that crashed there September 11, 2001, after passengers heeded the call "Let’s roll" and attempted to retake the flight from its hijackers. The memorial for the 40 passengers and crew will encompass 1,400 acres, and the Department of Justice has a paperwork deadline at the end of the month. Flight 93 Federal Advisory Commission members, Somerset County Commissioner Pamela Tokar-Ickes and Stonycreek Township Supervisor Gregory Walker, have stepped down in protest of the land grab. Replacements are being sought from a pool of area residents. The National Park Service, which will own the land and could have negotiated for its purchase, was defended by the U.S. Department of Interior. Associate director Steve Whitesell told a local news station "we’re at the deadline. We need to start proceeding with construction" to make an opening date of September 11, 2011. Vocal property owners are stating that they were willing to make a less forceful transfer of ownership, but were never engaged in negotiations for the land.

Lest you think it’s just taking a bit of land from some rich people who don’t deserve need it, think again:

Among those who will lose property is a man whose father had purchased land there during the great depression and a pastor who owns a cottage there where he planned to retire. Landowner Randall Musser told the Associated Press he served on the committee that helped establish the memorial’s boundaries and said that back in 2002 landowners were promised that eminent domain wouldn’t be used. A spokesman for the park service said of the latest plans, "It’s just fitting and right that we get this done in time for the 10th anniversary." Eminent domain eliminates the potential for title challenges, liens and other claims that could delay the project.

Nice.  The National Park Service adds insult to injury, forever marring what should have been an honest memorial.  And typical of this administration that the homeowners weren’t ever even engaged to sell their land, it was simply taken by force.  What Obama wants, Obama gets, and God help you if you get in his way.

What do you want to bet that the memorial won’t even mention words like “Muslim” or “terrorists”?

This is horrific news.

TENNIS babe Simona Halep is to undergo surgery - to shrink her 34DD bouncers.

 

The 17-year-old claims they are a disadvantage and has vowed to have a reduction later this year.

 

She declared: "The breasts make me uncomfortable when I play.

 

"It’s the weight that troubles me - my ability to react quickly."

 

Fans of the 5ft 5in Romanian - ranked 317th in the world and hoping to play at Wimbledon - last night flocked to sign an online petition: Save Simona Halep Boobs.

 

One stormed: "It will be a crime against nature."

I agree.  Even though she may end up a better tennis player, she’ll blow the chance for millions in endorsement and sponsorship deals.  Those boobs are worth $$$!  In case you’re still not certain, please take a look at another photo and a video of the boobs – er, I mean Halep – in action.

It’s simple, really.  I would hope that a wise white male with the richness of his experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a Latina woman who hasn’t lived that life.
