Back in March, I discussed Obama's nominee, Harold Koh for State Department's legal adviser.  This was the guy who sees no "reason why sharia law would not be applied to govern a case in the United States"

Now, Obama has added another radical to his administration.  Enter, Rashad Hussain.

"Sami al-Arian is the former Florida professor who turned out to be a leader of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and who waged an immensely successful propaganda campaign charging that his prosecution was a manifestation of "Islamophobia" -- until he pled guilty, that is. And Rashad Hussain was part of that campaign, although someone has tried to cover up that fact." "Obama's New OIC Envoy Defended Activist Who Aided Terrorist Group," by Patrick Goodenough for CNS News, February 15: (Jihadwatch)

So we now have one guy who supports "Sharia Law" and another radical who supports the leader of Palestinian Islamic Jihad.  Something here is just not making any sense.  At what point will the American people and the MSM start asking the hard questions about where this President is taking this nation?

With each passing day, we see just how reckless Obama's decision to close GITMO without a plan is turning into a bigger and bigger National Security nut roll. If he would have taken his time, developed a plan and secured the cooperation of other countries, he may have been able to close GITMO, but his inexperience and arrogant attitude has only proven why experience as community organizer does not make a Commander in Chief.

And now, according to Michael Isikoff of Newsweek, we may be looking at "Gitmo Forever".

"But the final irony is that many of the detainees may not even want to be transferred to Thomson and could conceivably even raise their own legal roadblocks to allow them to stay at Gitmo".

 You got to love it; detainees may sue to stay in GITMO. This administration is a joke!

You know I really think these idiots who get elected to Congress should have to take a test on the Constitution and other documents our Founding Fathers wrote. 

Enter Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) who thinks the Constitution gives Congress the authority to require that every American buy health insurance (Matt Cover, 2009).

Wow, did you know that?  I wonder how long it will be before they think the Constitution gives them the authority to require us to by a car from GM, since they (or I should say we the taxpayers) own the majority of the stock? 

Just so no one really thinks this is in the Constitution, here is what some others have to say;

“Nowhere in the Constitution is Congress given the power to mandate that an individual enter into a contract with a private party or purchase a good or service,” wrote  Heritage scholars Randy Barnett, Nathaniel Stewart, and Todd F. Gaziano.

This health care bill is a major disaster for America and we need to contact Congress now.

Fearing their butts may be in hot water for supporting the disastrous health care bill, Democrats are running scared to the White House requesting the "Boy Blunder" hold off on the "Cap & Trade" bill. 

Sounds to me that these idiots may be scared the American people will put their ass out on the unemployment line for supporting anymore job killing, tax hiking, deficit increasing bills against the will of the people.  If they are smart, they will kill the health care, but then they are Democrats, so the smart thing is out of discussion...

You know I rarely agree with the slobbering liberal media.  However, I read this article on the Huffington Post by  Jane Hamsher that now has me wondering if the left is beginning to see through this arrogant & incompetent administration.  Jane's post,  "Top 10 Reasons to Kill the Senate Health Care Bill", provides some keen insight into the Senate Health Care bill.  After reading these top ten and reviewing the supporting information, it is clear that every American should be on the phone, sending emails, or faxes to their Senators.  This bill is a disaster for America, so I urge everyone to contact their Senator now, before it is too late.  THIS BILL MUST BE STOPPED!  To find out how to contact thses criminals, check out Congress.org.

Top 10 Reasons to Kill Senate Health Care Bill  (Jane Hamsher, December 2009)

1. Forces you to pay up to 8% of your income to private insurance corporations -- whether you want to or not.

2. If you refuse to buy the insurance, you'll have to pay penalties of up to 2% of your annual income to the IRS.

3. Many will be forced to buy poor-quality insurance they can't afford to use, with $11,900 in annual out-of-pocket expenses over and above their annual premiums.

4. Massive restriction on a woman's right to choose, designed to trigger a challenge to Roe v. Wade in the Supreme Court.

5. Paid for by taxes on the middle class insurance plan you have right now through your employer, causing them to cut back benefits and increase co-pays.

6. Many of the taxes to pay for the bill start now, but most Americans won't see any benefits -- like an end to discrimination against those with preexisting conditions -- until 2014 when the program begins.

7. Allows insurance companies to charge people who are older 300% more than others.

8. Grants monopolies to drug companies that will keep generic versions of expensive biotech drugs from ever coming to market.

9. No re-importation of prescription drugs, which would save consumers $100 billion over 10 years.

10. The cost of medical care will continue to rise, and insurance premiums for a family of four will rise an average of $1,000 a year -- meaning in 10 years, your family's insurance premium will be $10,000 more annually than it is right now.

Sometime tonight, the Senate will vote to move their version of health care forward for debate.  This bill, similar to the House's bill will drive up taxes significantly on all Americans, increase our national debt by trillions and destroy the quality of health care Americans have today.

Although Congress is far from delivering any kind of meaningful health care reform, the road these incompetent idiots are traveling is setting up our country for economic disaster.

"President Barack Obama took office promising to lead from the center and solve big problems. He has exerted enormous political energy attempting to reform the nation's health-care system. But the biggest economic problem facing the nation is not health care. It's the deficit. Recently, the White House signaled that it will get serious about reducing the deficit next year—after it locks into place massive new health-care entitlements. This is a recipe for disaster, as it will create a new appetite for increased spending and yet another powerful interest group to oppose deficit-reduction measures." (DOUGLAS HOLTZ-EAKIN, Nov 2009)

How far will we allow this disastrous spending of the Obama administration to go before we reach the stage of "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."  America understands Obama inherited an economic mess from the Bush administration, but at some point Obama and his administration must be held accountable for their current and planned spending that will destroy our economy.

Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to bring KSM and his sidekicks to New York is one of the most incompetent and dangerous decision the Obama administration has made so far.  In what has become the most arrogant administrations of our time, Holder confidently says:

"We looked at a variety of things -- about the questions of admissibility of evidence ... what problems we might have with regard to any witnesses," Holder said. "I mean the whole variety of things that we considered in making those judgments."   Holder said he's confident the cases will be "successful."  (Fox News)

Really?  No pre-trial prejudice?  What is success to this administration?  Releasing terrorists to make a point about the Bush administration? Releasing national security secrets to the world?  Giving KSM a stage to play them like a fiddle?

As I mentioned earlier, this case will be a circus and the past administration will be on trial more than KSM and his murdering sidekicks.  Perhaps that is the true underlying purpose of this trial. 

Folks we need to hit the phones, email, and the streets on this one, or KSM may be looking for a new house where you live. (Think O.J. Simpson)

Obama swept into office on the promise of change and most Democrats felt that was really why he was elected, but like I have said before, he was elected because he was not Bush and was not a Republican. 

For most of America, the beer goggles are slowly coming off and they are beginning to think they may have to "chew off their arm".   All of those who voted for him are beginning to realize what a flipping mess our country is in now and he is not doing anything to make it better. 

According to a new Gallop poll, the majority of Americans "described their political ideology as conservative".  This means the Majority of Americans are right of center, Obama, Reid, Pelosi and the majority of the Democratic party are far left of center.  In addition, the country also has significant differences in priorities compared to the Obama administration.

For example, look at some data

Gallup has found that independents are more likely to oppose than support healthcare reform, and to express concerns about increased government spending and the expansion of government power. Thus, the drop in Democratic support is partly a response to concerns about the policies Obama and the Democratic Congress are pursuing.

Voters Trust Republicans More On 10 Top Issues

Forty-nine percent (49%) of voters nationwide say that passing no health care reform bill this year would be better than passing the plan currently working its way through Congress (Rassmussen).

Thirty-eight percent (38%) of voters say cutting the federal budget deficit in half in the next four years should be the Obama administration's top priority, while 23% say health care reform is most important (Rassmussen).

The arrogance of this administration is amazing.  They are going against the American people on just about every important issue.   Our only hope is that it will not be too late when they are handed their pink slips and we can begin to repair all the damage these idiots have caused.

In a follow-up segment to the "Lies and Distortions to Distract" post I wrote earlier, it appears more information has come to light with regard to our "Communist Friend" Van Jones.  According to Cliff Kincaid:

"It is now abundantly clear that he was pushed out because the scandal threatened to implicate Obama friend and White House adviser Valerie Jarrett in the scandal that gave him a critical White House position without proper vetting."

"Proper Vetting", some how it does not surprise me they would distort the story like this.  The truth is, this has nothing to do with "Proper Vetting" and everything to do with trying to slip radicals into a radical administration hell bent on destroying our country.  This administration is a threat to America and the sooner the American people understand this, the faster we can start taking back our great country.
