Below are thirty of Obama’s appointed Czars, listed aphabetically by title, except for the last one. Note their respective credentials to serve with the authority and responsiblity of the position to which they were appointed. Remember, these people carry more influence over our government operations than cabinet members do, according to my understanding. If you think policies and actions coming our of Washington DC are radical, it does not take a genius to see why. Even worse, Congress is turning a blind eye and allowing these people to run our government under their noses. Any one of these czars is bad news; put them altogether, and we have a nuclear powder keg hanging by a tread above our country. Does BHO feels so insecure that he has to surround himself with the likes of these? Or is this part of an accelerated plot to destroy the America we know and love? Or is he simply trying to destory all respect for government authority? The handwriting is on the wall, my friends. But I ask, are these czars legal? Is this constitutional? Can these peole be removed from the offices they are holding before 2012? Any ideas how short of revolt? Can we wait that long? These appointments certainly generate myriads of questions about our president.

Kevin Jennings -Safe School Czar – As a teacher when a 15 year said he was having sex with an older man, instead of turning in the man—the law for a teacher, he asked how it was going and suggested they use condoms. Held a conference with the MAXIMUM age of 18 to teach homosexual issues like “fisting.” Wrote the intro to the book, “Queering Elementary Education.” Has repeatedly praised and claims to be inspired by Harry Hay, early supporter of NAMBLA, (North American Man Boy Love Association).

 The decline in Barack Obama’s popularity since July has been the steepest of any president at the same stage of his first term for more than 50 years.

Gallup recorded an average daily approval rating of 53 per cent for Mr Obama for the third quarter of the year, a sharp drop from the 62 per cent he recorded from April.

His current approval rating – hovering just above the level that would make re-election an uphill struggle – is close to the bottom for newly-elected president. Mr Obama entered the White House with a soaring 78 per cent approval rating.

The bad polling news came as Mr Obama returned to the campaign trail to prevent his Democratic party losing two governorships next month in states in which he defeated Senator John McCain in last November’s election.

Jeffrey Jones of Gallup explained: “The dominant political focus for Obama in the third quarter was the push for health care reform, including his nationally televised address to Congress in early September.

“Obama hoped that Congress would vote on health care legislation before its August recess, but that goal was missed, and some members of Congress faced angry constituents at town hall meetings to discuss health care reform. Meanwhile, unemployment continued to climb near 10 per cent.”

Governor Jon Corzine of New Jersey is in severe danger of defeat while Democrats are fast losing hope that Creigh Deeds can beat his Republican opponent in Virginia. Twin Democratic losses would be a major blow to Mr Obama’s prestige.

Campaigning for Mr Corzine in Hackensack on Wednesday night, Mr Obama delivered a plea that almost seemed as much for himself as the local candidate: “I’m here today to urge you to cast aside the cynics and the sceptics, and prove to all Americans that leaders who do what’s right and who do what’s hard will be rewarded and not rejected.”

Mr Corzine, a former Goldman Sachs executive and multi-millionaire, is currently running even in New Jersey, which is normally comfortably Democratic, while Mr Deeds is trailing badly in Virginia, a swing state that was key to Mr Obama’s 2008 victory.

Mr Obama is also facing widespread criticism for his drawn-out decision-making process over what to do next in Afghanistan.

Republicans sense Mr Obama is in a vulnerable position and this week saw the return to the public stage of his perhaps most vehement opponent – Vice-President Dick Cheney.

In a blistering speech on Wednesday night, he accused Mr Obama of failing to give Americans troops on the ground a clear mission or defined goals and of being seemingly “afraid to make a decision” about Afghanistan “The White House must stop dithering while America’s armed forces are in danger,” Cheney said at the Center for Security Policy in Washington.

“Make no mistake, signals of indecision out of Washington hurt our allies and embolden our adversaries.”

He hit out at Obama aides who suggested that the Bush administration had failed to weigh up conditions in Afghanistan properly before committing troops.

“Now they seem to be pulling back and blaming others for their failure to implement the strategy they embraced. It’s time for President Obama to do what it takes to win a war he has repeatedly and rightly called a war of necessity.”

First Lady requires more than twenty attendants By Dr. Paul L. Williams

Update: First Lady Now Requires 26 Servants

No, Michele Obama does not get paid to serve as the First Lady and she doesn’t perform any official duties. But this hasn’t deterred her from hiring an unprecedented number of staffers to cater to her every whim and to satisfy her every request in the midst of the Great Recession. Just think Mary Lincoln was taken to task for purchasing china for the White House during the Civil War. And Mamie Eisenhower had to shell out the salary for her personal secretary.

How things have changed! If you’re one of the tens of millions of Americans facing certain destitution, earning less than subsistence wages stocking the shelves at Wal-Mart or serving up McDonald cheeseburgers, prepare to scream and then come to realize that the benefit package for these servants of Miz Michele are the same as members of the national security and defense departments and the bill for these assorted lackeys is paid by John Q.

Fox News Locked Out

by A.W.R. Hawkins (more by this author)

Posted 10/15/2009 ET

On September 20, 2009, Obama appeared on five Sunday morning news shows in one day — Fox News Sunday was not included. Two weeks later, following what the New York Times referred to as a “Fox Summit” between Roger Ailes, chairman of Fox News, and David Axelrod, senior adviser to President Obama, Fox News was told they wouldn’t get to conduct any Obama interviews in the foreseeable future and all members of the administration, from the top down, were ordered to stay off Fox News.

To put it bluntly: Obama doesn’t like the fact that Fox News personalities like Glenn Beck point out dichotomies between what the President says and what he does, between what he promises and what he delivers. Obama and his administration actually equate such critical journalism with warfare.

Of course Obama, ever the victim, wants to paint this as a war someone else started. This much was clear from the words his point person, Anita Dunn, used when she popped up on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” over the weekend: “[Fox News is] undertaking a war against Barack Obama and the White House.” i.e., “Fox News started this, we didn’t.”

There’s only one word for President Obama — “crybaby.” (RLS-I would also add “tyrant” because Obama knows what he is doing!)

Why President Obama Was Awarded the Nobel Prize

by Dennis Prager

The Nobel Peace Prize, already devalued, has sunk to a new low. This assessment has nothing to do with one’s estimation of this year’s recipient, President Barack Obama. Most of those on the left, with a few predictable exceptions such as the New York Times, regard giving the president the award as belittling him and the prize.

The Oslo committee’s view is, tragically, true. Thanks to Barack Obama, America is for the first time is aligning its values with those of “the majority of the world’s population.” If you think the world’s population has had better values than America, that it has made societies that are more open, free, and tolerant than American society, and that it has fought for others’ liberty more than America has, you should be delighted.

Can you believe Obama’s ”America Sucks 09″ tour & speeches?

A few observations on racism –

Firstly, for any of the uninformed, or those who have accepted the self-serving screeds as decried by black militants and the apologists in the government controlled media, let’s accurately define racism. Racism as defined by Websters is as follows; “A belief that race is the primary determinent of human traits and capacities , a racial prejudice or descrimination.”

Please note that nowhere in the definition is there any mention, implicitly or explicitly, of Blacks .– Although many  have unfortunately accepted the belief that only Whites can perpetrate racism, and only Blacks can be the victims of it, this is a viewpoint that is often borne out of ignorance and / or guilt.

While Blacks may have been most often the victims of racism, it is certainly not exclusive to them. When my forefathers came to this country from Italy at the turn of the 20th Century, they encountered siginificant racism / discrimination. Many nationalities could say the same thing. Like it or not , fair or not, that’s life. They moved on and overcame.

The current over-use / mis-use of racism, has now trivialized it to the point of being of little consequence / siginificance. The Left and many Black Leaders and media types have cried wolf many ,many, times more than once too often. It’s not going to work any longer. And , on balance, I view this as a good thing. It has effectively put the racism based extorsion enterprises of the likes of Jackson and Sharpton out of business. And I believe that it has awakened  many Whites’ who heretofore were uncomfortable or intimidated with the prospect of being labeled as racist. They are now willing to stand up to these accusations. In other words, they are not going to take it any longer.

This Nation is on the precipice of being divided in such a way as we have not seen since the Civil War. And Obama has accomplished all of this in 7plus short months. He has set race relations back more decades than I even care to speculate.

For Conservative Americans, he‘s the gift that keeps on giving and I don’t expect him to abate anytime soon. After all, this is who he is.

Wake up and pay attention America.

Best Regards,

Dave

 Barack Obama and the CIA: Why does President Pantywaist hate America so badly?

Obama and ‘Redistributive Change’
Forget the recession and the “uninsured.” Obama has bigger fish to fry.

The first seven months of the Obama administration seemingly make no sense. Why squander public approval by running up astronomical deficits in a time of pre-existing staggering national debt?

So we move at breakneck speed in order not to miss this rare opportunity when the radical leadership of the Congress and the White House for a brief moment clinch the reins of power. By the time a shell-shocked public wakes up and realizes that the prescribed chemotherapy is far worse than the existing illness, it should be too late to revive the old-style American patient.

Democrats never wanted a real debate over health care 

by: Jonah Goldberg

To listen to the White House and its supporters in and out of the media, you would think that opposition to “ObamaCare” is the hobgoblin of a few small minds on the right. Racists, fascists, Neanderthals, the whole “Star Wars,’ cantina of boogeymen and cranks stand opposed to much-needed reform.
 

Left out of this fairly naked effort to demonize many with the actions of a few is the simple fact that ObamaCare – however defined – has been tanking in the polls for weeks. President Obama’s handling of health care is unpopular with a majority of Americans and a majority of self-proclaimed independents.
 

Focusing on the town halls has its merits, but if you actually wanted ObamaCare to pass, casting a majority of Americans as the stooges of racist goons may not be the best way to go.
 

Imagine if George W. Bush, in his effort to partially privatize Social Security, had insisted that the “time for talking is over.” Picture, if you will, the Bush White House asking Americans to turn in their e-mails in the pursuit of “fishy” dissent. Conjure a scenario under which then-Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott derided critics as “evil-mongers” the way Harry Reid recently described town hall protesters. Or if then-House Speaker Dennis Hastert and then-Majority Whip Tom DeLay had called critics “un-American” the way Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer did last week, or if White House strategist Karl Rove had been Sir Spam-a-lot instead of David Axelrod.
 

Now, I’m not asking you, dear reader, to do this so that you might be able to see through the glare of Obama’s halo or the outlines of the media’s staggering double standard when it comes to covering this White House. Rather, it is to grasp that the Obama administration has been astoundingly incompetent.
 

Lashing out at the town hall protesters, playing the race card, whining about angry white men and whispering ominously about right-wing militias is almost always a sign of liberalism’s weakness – a failure of the imagination.
 

The left, broadly speaking, has been attacking conservative talk radio and all it allegedly represents for the better part of 20 years now. When Bill Clinton needed a convenient villain, he attacked Rush Limbaugh. When Bush emerged victorious from the Florida recount, liberals concluded that what they really needed was their own version of Limbaugh. In March, at the first sign of resistance from congressional Republicans, Obama complained that the GOP was Limbaugh’s lap dog, and both the White House and much of the press corps went into anti-Limbaugh mode.
 

It’s funny how these supposed champions of the Enlightenment can’t grasp that people can disagree with them for honest reasons. Instead, we simply must be Limbaugh’s automatons, which is to say racist, fascist thugs.
 

In addition to the slander, such complaints are monumentally, incandescently lame coming from a party that controls Washington. According to liberals themselves, these evil-mongers are a tiny minority. So why not ignore them?
 

Well, because they can’t. One of the reasons the term “ObamaCare” has become a journalistic convention is that there is no bill. You can’t talk about Obama’s actual health care plan because there isn’t one. There are a bunch of competing bills, proposals, ideas swirling around the halls of Congress like flotsam in a sewer. As even Robert Reich, Clinton‘s Labor secretary recently conceded, the failure to put forward a concrete proposal allows opponents to pick from a menu of scary ideas and possibly ties, all of which can be labeled ObamaCare.
 

Suspicion of bad motives is reinforced by Obama’s determination to steamroll to victory. Indeed, Democrat dudgeon that the town hall protesters don’t want civil debate is hysterical, given that Obama wanted this over before the August recess. No wonder the president who thought the time for talk was over long ago now doesn’t like the talk he’s getting.
