Video: What's wrong with CNN's Lemon

It's not news, it's about being an asshole...


A line of questioning focused on blame and "emotions", rather then the substance of the issue, while all the while being an unimaginable ass hole to a sitting Senator. It feels like it was two seconds away from Lemon exclaiming harsh insults. Well, harsher than: "I hope you’re happy with yourself, Mr. Tea Party".

O'Reily has the "Who's looking out for you/no spin" thing, Lemon has the "HEY DOUCHE-BAG, I REALLY-HATE YOU!!!!" vibe with no context or subtext.

Well - I'm not a public media person, so I'll put it as bluntly and spontaneously genuine as I can: Fuck you communist bastards, we can see through your gutter scrapping agit-prop. Don't want a default? Pass GOP plan - it's that easy.

Last note, the lefties aren't taking the American economy hostage, they have committed their suicide bombing on it already.

Obama's catastrophic economics: Keep revising, no growth, 0.4 GDP for Q1 in revision

Hey, let's raise taxes too - and print money - because if there's anything we've learned from Carter, it's how well these lefty policies work. (they work great if the intention is to wreck the country).

How's that stimulus bill working for us? Exactly as it was intended to.
Q1 CRASHED TO JUST 0.4%!(Drudge headline/CNBC article)

The U.S. economy grew less than expected in the second quarter as consumer spending barely rose, and growth braked sharply in the prior quarter, a government report showed on Friday.

Growth in gross domestic product—a measure of all goods and services produced within U.S. borders—rose at a 1.3 percent annual rate, the Commerce Department said.

First-quarter output was sharply revised down to a 0.4 percent pace from 1.9 percent.

Economists had expected the economy to expand at a 1.8 percent rate in the second quarter.

In addition, fourth-quarter growth was revised down to a 2.3 percent pace from 3.1 percent, indicating that the economy had already started slowing before the high gasoline prices and supply chain disruptions from Japan hit.

Economists had expected the economy would show signs of perking up by now with Japan supply constraints easing and gasoline prices off their high, but data has disappointed.

This and the sharp downward revisions to the prior quarters suggest a more troubling and fundamental slowdown might be underway.

There is also heightened uncertainty over the outlook because of the impasse in talks to raise the nation's borrowing limit and avoid a damaging government debt default.

The Treasury says the government will soon run out of money to pay all its bills.

Economists have warned that a debt default could push the fragile economy over the edge.

"The implications of more rancorous foot dragging would be bad for an economy already in a precarious state," said Julia Coronado, chief North America economist at BNP Paribas in New York. "Uncertainty continues to tax an already fragile recovery."

Data released on Friday showed the 2007-2009 recession was much more severe than prior measures had found, with economic output declining a cumulative of 5.1 percent instead of 4.1 percent.

The annual revisions of U.S. GDP data from the Commerce Department showed the economy contracted at an annual average rate of 0.3 percent between 2007 and 2010. Output over that stretch had previously been estimated to have been flat.

The economy needs to grow at a rate of 2.5 percent or better on a sustained basis to chip away at the nation's 9.2 percent unemployment rate.

Obama sends his SIEU drones to flood congress switchboard

So - federal employees are lobbying congress not to cut federal budget... On who's expense exactly? Is it the president's prerogative to utilize armies of socialist activists to propagate his agenda?

Flooding the switchboard

One major player who is driving calls is SEIU, whose spokesman forwards an email that went out from President Mary Kay Henry to some 400,000 activists.

"It's up to us to stop this bill. You should make an emergency call to your member of Congress RIGHT NOW and tell them to stand strong against these cuts," she writes, passing on a phone number for the union's virtual phone bank.

Full email after the jump.

xxx

Did you hear the breaking news yesterday?

The New York Times reported on a debt ceiling deal that would make deep cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security benefits without asking for an ounce of sacrifice from corporations and millionaires.

The bill would add millions to the unemployment rolls and deny medical care to the most vulnerable among us - including many of the people SEIU members care for on a daily basis.

It's up to us to stop this bill. You should make an emergency call to your member of Congress RIGHT NOW and tell them to stand strong against these cuts. Use this phone number ...

So, those drones are at their cushioned federal job desk, using federal paid phone lines to create a shadow government pressure on this country's actual government, how very SOROS of them.

Harry Reid:Obamacare, Stimulus, Finance-Reform great legislation, Cut, Cap, Balance - 'worst in US History'

I'm beginning to believe Harry Reid is one of the worst people in U.S. history.

Harry Reid Won’t ‘Waste the Senate’s Time’ on ‘Worst Legislation’ in U.S. History

Without a hint of bipartisanship, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Thursday proclaimed the Republican deficit-reduction plan – the “Cut, Cap, and Balance Act” – as a waste of the Senate’s time.

“I think this piece of legislation is about as weak and senseless as anything that has ever come on this Senate floor. And I’m not going to waste the Senate’s time day after day on this piece of legislation, which I think is an anathema to what our country is all about,” Reid said on the Senate floor.

“So everyone, understand. We’re going to have a vote tomorrow (Friday)…I’m not going to wait until Saturday. We’re going to have a vote tomorrow, and I feel confident this legislation will be disposed of one way or the other.

“The American people should understand that this is a bad piece of legislation – perhaps, some of the worst legislation in the history of this country.”

Obama's mercenary Army in Iraq to remain without oversight

This is the guy and the party maligning Bush for war in Iraq and anything which did or didn't go wrong there, now started a senseless war in Libya and prevent oversight over hired guns in Iraq.

U.S. Blocks Oversight of Its Mercenary Army in Iraq

By January 2012, the State Department will do something it’s never done before: command a mercenary army the size of a heavy combat brigade. That’s the plan to provide security for its diplomats in Iraq once the U.S. military withdraws. And no one outside State knows anything more, as the department has gone to war with its independent government watchdog to keep its plan a secret.

Stuart Bowen, the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR), is essentially in the dark about one of the most complex and dangerous endeavors the State Department has ever undertaken, one with huge implications for the future of the United States in Iraq. “Our audit of the program is making no progress,” Bowen tells Danger Room.

...

To be clear, these aren't mercenaries, and Obama didn't start this, but this is the type of rhetoric the other side would use to smear a Republican in office.

The daily-caller reports: New O’Keefe investigation uncovers Medicaid fraud

Conservative filmmaker James O’Keefe released the first installment in a new video investigation Monday morning, this one focused on Medicaid fraud. The first video in the series shows government employees in Ohio assisting two men who have described themselves as Russian drug smugglers with applications for Medicaid.

In the video, the men explain to Ohio Medicaid workers that they are Russian immigrants who sell illegal drugs, drive a modified McLaren F1 sports car with a gold-coated engine, and use their underage sisters to perform sexual favors in exchange for drugs.

In response, Ohio employees tasked with disbursing federal Medicaid dollars are shown coaching the men through the process of applying for benefits. “If it’s not something registered here, maybe I just wouldn’t mention it,” a Franklin County Medicaid officer named Traci Daniels tells the men, when asked whether they should mention owning a vehicle that retails for nearly $1 million, as they apply for government aid designed to help poor people. “Not that I can say that. You didn’t hear that from me. But, that would right there, that would throw him off. He would be immediately not qualified.”

Daniels also tells the men to describe their occupation as babysitting, though she apparently believes they are drug dealers.

The two men also ask the Medicaid workers about whether the government health plan covers abortions for their underage sisters, who they say get pregnant often because they’re performing sexual favors for their clients. Daniels recommends they go to Planned Parenthood. One of the ersatz Russians then made a follow-up call to a woman named Jeanette, also in Franklin County, Ohio’s Medicaid Office. She also directed him to Planned Parenthood.

SEIU manual uncovered, goal is to cause harm to government and businesses

Enemy from within.

Report: SEIU ‘Intimidation Manual’ Uncovered Detailing Union’s Dirty Tactics

According to Vincent Vernuccio in the Washington Times, it’s over 70 pages and details how “outside pressure can involve jeopardizing relationships between the employer and lenders, investors, stockholders, customers, clients, patients, tenants, politicians, or others on whom the employer depends for funds.”

“It” is a new intimidation manual uncovered during a lawsuit against the SEIU, one of the nation’s largest unions. In it, Vernuccio says, the SEIU’s dirty tactics are explained, including bullying employers by targeting them economically and advocating for breaking the law.

For example, Vernuccio explains the manual openly calls for disregarding the law, using Martin Luther King, Jr. and Ghandi as justification: “Union members sometimes must act in the tradition of Dr. Martin Luther King and Mohatma [sic] Gandhi and disobey laws which are used to enforce injustice against working people.”

But that’s just the beginning. In addition, Vernuccio points out, it also advocates economic hit jobs.

“It may be a violation of blackmail and extortion laws to threaten management officials with release of ‘dirt’ about them if they don’t settle a contract,” the manual allegedly says. “But there is no law against union members who are angry at their employer deciding to uncover and publicize factual information about individual managers.”

What kind of “dirt?”

How about “[l]eafleting outside meetings where [targeted managers] are speaking, their homes, or events sponsored by community organizations they are tied to are some ways to make sure their friends, neighbors, and associates are aware of the controversy.”

In essence, it seems, nothing is off limits.

Vernuccio explains the tactics in part by saying the union looks “to push businesses to the edge of bankruptcy, with little regard for the welfare of employer and employee.”

That's when the Obama administration says the government would begin defaulting if no agreement is reached to raise the borrowing limit. Leaders of both parties and the business world have said that a default would be catastrophic.

No yelling at Obama today

A long-running tiff between the White House press corps and the West Wing over presidential access flared anew today when press secretary Jay Carney faced off with reporters over the right to shout questions at the president during debt talks.

Obama chafes at the time-honored practice of answering questions shouted at him during pooled, non-press conference events — and his staff has often opted for “stills sprays,” excluding print reporters or TV cameras who might capture Obama in the less than flattering non-act of snubbing a query.

When asked today why TV crews and print reporters were barred from the pool covering the White House meeting with congressional leaders on the deficit, Carney responded by pointing out that the administration has held two press conferences in the past two weeks and allowed TV cameras into the spray earlier this week.

"People shouted questions at him," Carney added.

The White House Correspondents’ Association has protested exclusion of print and TV from pools — and several reporters in the briefing room took Carney’s comment as an annoyed expression of presidential displeasure with shouted questions.

“It's an absurd reason to say that because we asked questions you're not going to allow cameras in there. He's capable of ignoring our questions. He does it all the time,” said Chip Reid of CBS.

Carney, a former Time magazine White House reporter, shot back with, “I appreciate your opinion.”

It didn’t end there. “Can I ask you to clarify — there's no reporters allowed in today's meeting because reporters misbehaved?” asked another scribe. “Earlier it sounded like you were punishing us.”

Carney said he meant no such thing. “Look, as you know, we have had — different meetings have different levels of access, and we do it on a case-by-case basis. We have had — the president has taken questions quite a lot lately, as you know, and so he's not taking questions today. He may tomorrow. Or he may later, you know, but today, we're just doing a still spread, which is not unprecedented. We have done them in a lot of meetings.”’

"I used to be where you are, and I used to ask questions," the former journalist reminded his press corps.

At least 13 people were killed and 81 others injured Wednesday in explosions that rocked congested areas of India's financial capital, Mumbai, according to Prithviraj Chavan, the chief minister of the state of Maharashtra.

Police said the explosions occurred within minutes of one another in the Dadar, Opera House and Zaveri Bazaar areas, all busy commercial areas that were certainly teeming with people in the evening rush hour.

"The sound was absolutely deafening," said Hemant Mehta, who was in the Opera House area, near Mumbai's diamond market, a small epicenter of the city's economy.

Everyone looked up, he said. At first, some thought that heavy rains had caused a building to collapse. He told CNN-IBN that he was sure the sheer panic would cause a stampede.

A man reportedly trying to show students how to make explosives was killed by a homemade bomb inside an Islamic boarding school in Indonesia, police said Tuesday.

School officials and students have prevented police from entering the building since Monday's explosion, local police spokesman Lt. Col. Sukarman Husen said. [...]

Husen said the bombing victim was a treasurer at the school, but media reports alleged he was a former bomb trainee in the Philippine region of Mindanao. According to TVOne, he was killed in an unintentional explosion while training students about bomb-making.

Police are still persuading the school officials to let them enter the compound, Husen said.

National Police Spokesman Maj. Gen. Anton Bachrul Alam said the explosion was suspected to be from a homemade bomb being prepared to attack the police.

Three days after the U.S. Department of Labor reported that the national unemployment rate had ticked up from 9.1 percent in May to 9.2 percent in June, President Barack Obama said that the loss of jobs in the public sector is “evidence” that his $830-billion economic stimulus legislation worked.

“Now, without relitigating the past, I’m absolutely convinced, and the vast majority of economists are convinced, that the steps we took in the Recovery Act saved millions of people their jobs or created a whole bunch of jobs,” Obama said at his Monday press conference.

Car Czar: ‘I Did it All for the Unions’?(The Blaze)

A Congressional oversight committee has asked Ron Bloom, White House advisor and former ‘car czar,’ to clarify his response to a question during a recent hearing. Bloom was asked whether he made the statement “I did it all for the unions” back in 2009 in the middle of the auto bailout controversy. He vehemently denied saying it.

The problem is, Bloom’s denial contradicts two otherwise credible sources, including a book written by his car czar predecessor, Steve Rattner, and a published account in the Detroit News. Both claim that Bloom did in fact make the comment in question, though both accounts also agreed that it was made in jest.

Dismal jobs report shows unemployment rising to 9.2%(LA Times)

The U.S. employment picture went from bad to ugly last month as employers added almost no new net jobs and the unemployment rate edged up for the third straight month, to 9.2%.

The report Friday from the Labor Department is sure to be a huge disappointment and will raise fresh questions about the sustainability of the recovery, now technically starting its third year.

Analysts had raised their job-growth forecasts for June to 100,000 or more in recent days, hopeful of a rebound after surprisingly few job gains in May, which many attributed to temporary factors such as Japan's earthquake and the spike in oil prices.

But, in fact, the growth of 54,000 jobs previously reported for May was revised down Friday to just 25,000. And the nation's payrolls followed that with a barely perceptible 18,000 new net jobs last month.

From February to April, employers have added an average of 215,000 jobs per month.

The unemployment rate, meanwhile, ticked up to 9.2 from 9.1% in the previous month and this year’s low of 8.8% in March. Many thousands of people in June dropped out of the labor force, some presumably because of the discouraging outlook.

Friday’s jobs report was remarkable in that there was nothing positive in it. Manufacturing, instead of bouncing back up as many had expected, added a meager 6,000 jobs. Hiring in construction remained dismal. The once-fast-growing temporary-help industry shed jobs for the third month in a row. And budget-strapped government offices eliminated an additional 39,000 jobs from their payrolls. Services remained weak.

Yet another summer of wreck-overy.

Obama mirandise Somali terrorist abroad, avoids interrogation at Gitmo, civilian trial in NY

Hope and change! No interrogations what-so-ever! Kill first ask no-questions later. And the one time Obama holds on to a terrorist abroad and doesn't free him on the spot - he gives him miranda rights and brings him to a civilian court.

Because this is what America wanted under the foggy banner of "hope and change". Yep, and let's hope that this time around the public is smarter to vet the candidate and not vote for vague teleprompter empty rhetoric with a charming smile.

Obama sneaks Somali terrorist into U.S. over July 4 weekend for civilian trial (Creeping Sharia)

Gitmo - the right place for Jihadi scum of any international creed.

Why are Obama and Holder granting Islamic terrorists all the rights of an American citizen? With the ACLU already on the case, is it possible a sympathetic jury or a technicality – say Obama detaining and interrogating Warsame on a Navy ship for two months - could set this jihadist free? In the U.S.?

NEW YORK/WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A Somali man suspected of assisting al Qaeda was held abroad on a U.S. Navy ship for questioning for over two months without being advised of any legal rights, an administration official said.

The man, identified as Ahmed Abdulkadir Warsame, was brought to New York City on July 4 to face charges in a U.S. criminal court.

He appeared in a New York court on Tuesday morning and pleaded not guilty to providing material support to al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and the Somali group Al Shabaab, prosecutors in Manhattan said on Tuesday.

Words team Obama would try to avoid ahead of 2012: Stimulus, Obama Care, Taxes, Depression, Failure

Words the American public should be wary of: FOUR MORE YEARS!

Democrats, revel in your creation.

How Effective Was The 2009 Stimulus Program?(Forbes)

So the stimulus — the so-called American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 or ARRA — is starting to wind down. What are the results?

Depends on whom you ask, of course. Conservatives will say unemployment is near double-digits and growth is slow, so clearly it didn’t work. Liberals will say yes, unemployment is too high but that’s just a sign the stimulus wasn’t big enough. It worked when you think about how much higher unemployment would have been without it. And, come to think of it, we need more stimulus. Each side can find facts and models to fit its worldview.

...

Sure, let's have a debate about it - every day, until election day. Because like it or not, unemployment is high, the economy is in a long term depression and Obama had his way with us and the country feels physically abused.

Despite White House Protests, Stimulus Still Cost Taxpayers $278,000 Per Job

Why does the White House have a problem with basic math?

On Sunday, I noted that an estimate from President Obama’s own economists shows that the economic “stimulus” has cost taxpayers $278,000 per job and that, without the “stimulus,” 288,000 additional jobs would have been added or saved over the past six months. Yesterday, the White House fired back. But its response further confirms that a large portion of “stimulus” spending has done nothing whatsoever to create jobs — and that the “stimulus” is now working in reverse, causing the economy to shed jobs.

The Obama dust ball

It's the 30-s all over again, and yes - I'm cynically linking this to Obama's Idiocracy policies.


Dust storm hits Phoenix

PS. How much did the Casey Anthony trial remind you of the law system in the movie Idiocracy?!

Enough to have lawyers behaving this badly:

Nixon quit for far less than what Obama is doing to obstruct investigation of Guns-to-Mexico

And the lefty-media-complex is barely reporting on this international scandal. Mexicans are furious, Democrats are using this as a fundraiser tool against guns rights. Meanwhile, the dead are still very much dead.

Nope, Obama isn't Dick. Richard Nixon is a saint compared to crook in chief.

DOJ 'Distorted Truth and Obstructed Our Investigation' in Guns-to-Mexico Probe, Lawmakers Say

Members of Congress investigating the ATF's botched gun-tracking operation say it now appears that the Justice Department "obstructed" their attempts to find out what happened. They also expressed deep concern about the possibility that the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Agency already knew about -- and may even have been working with -- the people who were smuggling weapons to Mexican drug cartels.

False rumors: Cuomo won't replace Biden, but other options are still open...

Awww.. Cuomo says no-no. We'll have Biden for laughs for a few more years months.

So, who would be a better choice of a VP, two heart beats away from presidency? I'd bet any of the following:






The candidates. We all know this WH would have preferred the following though:

Obama trying to prevent Texas from executing a Mexican who raped and murdered a 16 yr old girl

Who's side is this president on? In this case, on the side of a murderer and a rapist and against the state of Texas.

Obama is an ongoing despicable disaster.
Obama tries to stop execution in Texas of Mexican killer

US president warns Texan authorities that execution would put America in breach of international legal obligations

...

Except that the treaty was not ratified by congress, and will not pass unless Democrats were in control of both houses - they're not. And if it were to pass - it would breach state's rights. How far left is Obama? Far enough to side with the filth of the earth against own citizens.

Casey Anthony, not guilty of murdering her child?

What a distortion of justice, OJ syndrome.

Casey Anthony not guilty of murder

Jury finds Casey Anthony not guilty of murder, manslaughter, aggravated child abuse; guilty of providing false information to law enforcement.

Unfricken believable. What mom does not report on her missing child for a month? Not even guilty of child neglect? Why was the tiny corpse with a tape on it's mouth?! Why did her car trunk stink of death? This is astonishing.

Obama's peace through diplomacy: US embassy in Pakistan provokes locals with gay rights celebrations

It was the lefty media complex which lampooned Bush as an international embarrassment who by merely being a republican in office is provoking the world to hate America. Well, what do you know? Obama's playing with fire in the name of what could very well be the very last shred of his "base", the gays. While Bush went on the offense to protect the rights of gays and women world-wide, Obama is lighting the fuse to an atomic bomb. Genius! Who's up for 4 more years of this ass-hattery?!

Smart Power… Pakistani Radicals Call For Holy War After Team Obama Holds Gay Rights Event at Embassy(Gateway Pundint)

(image from an anti Obama gay crowd regarding his still "evolving" gay marriage stance, which we all know is bullshit)

This must be more of that smart power we heard so much about…
They’re still pooping in buckets but Obama thinks they’re ready to celebrate gay rights.

Pakistani radicals called for a holy war after the US Embassy held its first ever gay rights celebration.
