POPSEmperor Obama and the Mob Enter the mob. A Rassmussen poll now says 58% of those interviewed want Abdulmutallab waterboarded. Only 30% of respondents opposed waterboarding, and 12% can't make up their minds. Fully 71% of respondents want Abdulmutallab's case handled by the military as a terrorist act, not by civilian authorities. Hey, Obama might be entitled to ask, did everybody just forget about Khalid Sheik Mohammed? He actually killed nearly three thousand Americans! This poor isolated Nigerian burned a Dutchman's hand. What's a king -- I mean God -- to do?

POPSBowing to communism at the climategate festival Ronald Reagan was right when he said that "America is a nation that has a government - not the other way around." Apparently Mr. Obama somehow rationalizes that it works for him the polar opposite, in other words, "I the president have a nation-and I the president have a government." President Reagan also said, "Government is not the solution-it's the problem." And here's where the country gets into trouble, by allowing the president, and the government to assume complete control over the American people.

POPSObama Planning a Legal Fudge for TARP? According to Reuters, “the administration was looking at setting up a special purpose vehicle to be a conduit for money…that would get around restrictions on executive bank pay.” There’s an irony here. Didn’t “special purpose vehicles” help carry us into this credit crisis to begin with? (Answer: They did! And into the Enron debacle, too.) Besides, isn’t it unseemly for the executive to skulk around the intent of a duly passed law? If the law is flawed, shouldn’t the administration persuade Congress to change it?

POPSWake Up Before Obama Destroys The US And I’d add, as Mr. Obama destroys our economic freedom and prosperity, we will be heading toward the day when we cannot afford or maintain our national security and military systems that keep us safe. Then, on our foreign policy plight under Mr. Obama, Mr. Podhoretz writes, “In global affairs, will the United States sit mute and inactive as the world’s most dangerous regimes acquire the world’s most dangerous weapons – or will we muster the will to prevent them from doing so? Will we continue to apologize for being the greatest, the noblest, the freest, and the most selfless nation in the history of the world – or will we find the strength, yet again, to resist the temptation to blame ourselves for the slings and arrows hurled at us by those who wish us ill?”

POPSObama executive overreach climate lie "Although details have not been made available, recent statements by Special Envoy on Climate Change Todd Stern indicate that negotiators may be intending to commit the United States to a nationwide emission reduction program," Webb added. "As you well know from your time in the Senate, only specific legislation agreed upon in the Congress, or a treaty ratified by the Senate, could actually create such a commitment on behalf of our country."

POPSObama seeks to replace the American way of life These fragmented groups are ready to fight to shut down the government's grab of personal freedom, its blatant abuse of the Constitution and its attempt to replace the American way of life with socialism/communism. Sometime in the next two years, when the government does the unthinkable, they will come together. Hopefully, from the chaos that will result, we will emerge a stronger, smarter country.

POPSObama's decision to possibly make a decision, possibly.. The risible projection of Obama as a commanding military leader, while attractive to the sycophantic, navel-gazing press, contrasted mightily with his simultaneously fawned-over persona of a pensive, cerebral man of the world. It is mighty hard to imagine George S. Patton hemming and hawing as if he were lecturing at an academic symposium before issuing his decision to make a decision to increase troops and "finish the job." Further muddying the waters is Obama's self-serving pronouncement that the military strategy in Afghanistan under Bush lacked clear vision, sufficient manpower, ample resources, and was carried out "with not enough urgency." This would be more apt criticism if it were not issued by a president ostensibly gauging the number of troops to be sent based on polling rather than in accordance with the requests for additional troops from top commander in Afghanistan General Stanley McChrystal.

POPSgrowing the new branch of government 
At least the New York Times actually reported Holder's Congressional thumping. Pay ACORN, the defiant DOJ hack admonishes. Now DOJ has authority over Congress. Representatives Wolf and Smith have sent numerous requests to Holder asking for documentation of his Black Panther dismissal. Rep. Issa has demanded an explanation of Kevin Johnson's predatory sexual behaviors with underage Americorp students, not to mention his squandering of $400,000 on personal expenses like chauffeuring and dry cleaning. Jennifer Rubin's latest Weekly Standard report details the US Civil Rights Commission investigation into the Black Panther dismissal. Yup. You guessed it. No response from Holder or the DOJ. Finally, the White House czars have been reported in the alternative media, and given the obligatory nod in the msm. However, Breitbart's expose on the National Endowment for the Arts has been politely ignored. So expect to see those armies of taxpayer funded artists creating propaganda whene

POPSSo, how low will this President go? These bows are not according to protocol, they are excessive and unbecoming to our nation's leader. When he engages in such inappropriate behavior, he embarasses himself and his nation. However, don’t take my word for it, listen to the analysis of diplomatic etiquette expert Lyudmila Bloch: “When President Obama recently greeted Japanese Emperor Akihito with a deep bow (at almost 90 degrees), and a handshake at the same time, those gestures were over the top and spoke loudly of diplomatic inexperience and poor briefing by his aides.” “Two individuals of equal rank greet each other in the same way. Did you see the Emperor bowing from his waist down and stretching to reach Obama’s hand? No. The keywords are appropriate and subtle. The bow must demonstrate a delicate balance between respect, proper protocol, and appreciation for the Japanese tradition concerning age and rank.” “Submissive, excessive, emotional, or dramatic gestures like President Obama’s may be interpreted as naïve,

POPSShut Up or We'll Shut You Down No longer able to sit idly by while the President and his chief minion in the House amateurishly try to revamp one-sixth of the U.S. economy, the health insurance industry released a study they commissioned that analyzes the costs of the Obama-Pelosi plan. The results are quite sobering. The study shows that "between 2010 and 2019 the cumulative increases in the cost of a typical family policy under this reform proposal will be approximately $20,700 more than it would be under the current system." (Emphasis mine.)

POPS'Nobody Questions That'? Thus, by virtue of his election to the presidency nearly one year ago, he believes he has the authority to establish a new paradigm to "fundamentally transform" our nation by creating "a new foundation." However, if we are a nation of laws with a national government limited by our Constitution, and, indeed, we are, then Obama has no legal authority to "transform" our government. Those who laid our constitutional foundation were very clear about its limits on government. Our Constitution's principle author, James Madison, wrote, "The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation and foreign commerce."

POPSObama and Marxism: A Legitimate Question Obama’s defenders characterize the above charges as mere “guilt by association.” They contend that his connections with known Marxists do not necessarily imply that he shares their views. They claim we can draw no legitimate conclusions about Obama’s own beliefs from the above facts concerning his associations. In so doing, they are in effect charging his detractors with committing a reasoning error logicians call a “Circumstantial Ad Hominem Argument.” They thus gainsay his opponents’ claims that because of his own special circumstances—in this case that Obama has had ongoing relationships with many known Marxists—he must share certain specific views (namely, Marxist). They argue that these relationships are, in fact, utterly irrelevant to his actual beliefs and should not be cited as evidence of them.

POPSObama wins the Heisman Trophy! Obama wins the Heisman Trophy after watching a college football game !!! His name was submitted for the award by George Soros just moments before Obama actually watched part of a game on television aboard Air Force One. Obama learned about the Heisman while travelling to accept an Academy Award for his appearances in post-election campaign ads. Obama said: "I will accept the Heisman trophy in the name of all the minority players who are being denied the opportunity to play college football simply because of their grades, lack of ability or incarceration ".

POPSDeath Book for Veterans If President Obama is sincere in stating that he is not trying to cut costs by pressuring the disabled to forgo critical care, one good way to show that commitment is to walk two blocks from the Oval Office and pull the plug on "Your Life, Your Choices." He should make sure in the future that VA decisions are guided by values that treat the lives of our veterans as gifts, not burdens. Mr. Towey, president of Saint Vincent College, was director of the White House Office of Faith-Based Initiatives (2002-2006) and founder of the nonprofit Aging with Dignity.

POPSI Am Finally Scared of a WH Administration Emanuel writes about rationing health care for older Americans that "allocation (of medical care) by age is not invidious discrimination." (The Lancet, January 2009) He calls this form of rationing — which is fundamental to Obamacare goals — "the complete lives system." You see, at 65 or older, you've had more life years than a 25-year-old. As such, the latter can be more deserving of cost-efficient health care than older folks. **Our government will undertake, he says, a "very difficult democratic conversation" about how "the chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health care" costs.** - 'Obama'.

POPSObama to health care critics: end `phony claims' And we are supposed to believe this lying POS? Come dumbass - you are the one who keeps lying to everyone and now like before - when you do not get your way - you blame it on others. I would not normally speak of a president in this manner, however this jerk is no president - he holds the title but he's no president! He lies his ass off and is incapable of telling the truth.

POPSMost Americans expect higher taxes More than one-third of all surveyed say they expect their taxes to be "a lot higher'' despite the president's assertion that 95 percent of all Americans are getting tax relief under his economic stimulus program and health-care plans for the future. "Most Americans remain skeptical that the administration can pay for healthcare reform and its other programs without raising their taxes,'' Gallup's Jeffrey Jones reports today. Higher taxes are on the way. You can not pay for all the projects Obama is trying to implement without incurring massive debt. Simply printing more ‘useless’ money is not the answer, that will only result in the devaluation of the dollar until it becomes worthless. However do not hold your breath expecting old honest Abe (Obama) to tell you the truth - why would he start now.

POPSSwat Team for Change Upon hearing the disturbing news, America's ''Swat Team for Change"--President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid--immediately convened an emergency meeting in the basement of the White House to discuss this new economic catastrophe and to develop an effective counter strategy. A ''War room" was set up to meet the challenge that could destroy the Obama presidency. Speaker Pelosi was quoted as saying, "Living to be 78 is un-American! Old people are doing this because they are racists who hate our black president!" Harry Reid was a tad more optimistic when he said, "This war is NOT lost. America needs a surge in the mortality rate among people aged 55-78, and we intend to implement such a surge in bill 3200." President Obama was shooting hoops and not available for comment.

POPSControl-freaks: It Must Be in Their Genes At the heart of Obama's action plan to deal with every problem is the principle of government control over individual action. Consider the first problem: the economy. Obama's first action was to infuse failing financial institutions with borrowed money, with government strings attached. In exchange for the money, government gained veto power over the management of private corporations. Had the people in power not been infected with the "control" gene, financial institutions that had made bad business decisions would have paid the consequences, and the self-correcting free-market financial system would, ultimately, have been stronger. But alas, the poisoned tentacles of government now permeate the financial system.

POPSThank God! Oops, I mean, thank Obama This is by far the largest drop in the number of people who consider themselves in the labor force during the last year--almost twice the 358,000 increase in the people who left the labor force during June." Using Lott's calculations, our actual unemployment rate stands at 16.3%, not the trumpeted 9.4%. Obama would have us believe this is good news. Our president would also have us believe his claim that the $1.2 trillion health care reform proposal is just the ticket to jump-start the economy. (Hey, didn''t he just say he already jump-started the economy?) I digress...

POPSPresident and Congressional Democrats - Do not like Democracy in Action NBC holds back nothing in their support for Obama's position. In an article under the header "News/Politics" they ran this column, which calls the folks speaking at town hall meetings "fake" "angry" and "comical." That was just the first paragraph. The column later calls them "infamous" "yokels" and "astro-turfing wing-nuts." Again, this is under the heading "news." MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell has in interesting way of supporting Obama. While not directly questioning the sincerity of protesting Americans as does the President, Mitchell claims they "just don't know what's good for them." Not that Andrea's an elitist or anything.

POPSObama predicts 'sensible' health care win "We have a broken immigration system. Nobody denies it," Obama said. But politically and legislatively, the matter stands behind health care, energy legislation and an overhaul of financial regulatory rules on Obama's first-term agenda. "It's very important for us to sequence these big initiatives in a way where they don't all just crash at the same time," he said. We do not have a broken immigration system - what we do have is a bunch of weak-ass morons who haven't the guts to enforce our immigration laws - including when GWB was in office.

POPSObama grossly overplaying his hand With the Obama administration, a similar unraveling is well underway and gathering momentum. Voters are increasingly restive. The country is souring on Obama’s gargantuan policy ambitions. The sense is growing that he has grossly overplayed his hand. Like Carter, Obama looks increasingly like a president out of step with the times. Like Carter, there is a large gap between what voters expected based on the measured and moderate tone of his campaign and what began unfolding after his inauguration. Obama ran as a centrist, but he is governing from the left.

POPSObama's long six months Obama sold the country a false prospectus of easy, obvious, and almost painless change. The usual six honeymoon months have elapsed, and the country is nearly through rejoicing at the consolation that they have a president whom foreigners are unlikely to throw shoes at, and who speaks in sentences. But his own Environmental Protection Agency director acknowledges that his cap-and-trade bill will have no effect on the climate, and it will neither raise revenue nor reduce carbon use. It must be replaced with a straight carbon tax of bearable impact coupled with sensible conservation, and alternate-energy-source and oil-exploration incentives. The bill that limped through the House of Representatives was a Rube Goldberg contraption of Al Gore myths and Congressional vote-buying boondoggles. Its adoption would be a disaster. The president’s claim of putting millions of Americans to work making wind-mills and solar panels is a fable that extends the frontiers of quixotry.

POPSKnow-Nothing-in-Chief A good example of Obama's economic shallowness is his unrelenting defense of the $787 billion "stimulus." Enacted in February, it has had minimal impact on the economy. Yet Obama has no second thoughts. He says he wouldn't change a thing about the stimulus. It has "already saved jobs and created new ones," he said at the press conference, neglecting to note that 2 million jobs--a net 2 million--have been lost since it was passed.

POPSGreat hopes for Obama fade to reality Perhaps most troubling for Obama may be where he is losing ground. His approval rating was down 9 points among Americans overall but 20 percent among independents. Similarly, the increase in those who think the country is headed in the wrong direction came mostly from independents and Democrats. Dissatisfaction among independents grew disproportionately on Obama's handling of a range of issues, including the economy, taxes, unemployment, the environment and more. Independents are "the ones to watch," according to Professor Robert Shapiro, a Columbia University expert on public opinion. "The Republicans were more pessimistic from the outset. The Democrats are going to be more resistant to negative information."

POPSDeadline isn't being set by me (Obama)," he said. "It's being set by the American people. What a lying hypocrite! He's the one pushing for congress to speed the bill through so doubters have no chance to see what is costs as well as its pros & cons. Remember TARP? Same thing, hurry it though and the dupe the public once again. His smoke & mirror campaigns are getting tiresome, he's simply lying his ass off, again!. The people aren't pushing it down our throats - actually polls show the opposite - but that does not fit his lying agenda!

POPSThe Balloon Deflates But did it? Maybe we're now experiencing a liberal interlude, not a liberal inflection point. After all, only six months into the new administration, even a talented hot air blower like President Obama, assisted by friendly gusts of wind from the media, is having trouble keeping the liberal blimp afloat. The stimulus hasn't worked. Cap-and-trade and health care reform are in trouble. The can't-we-all-get-along foreign policy isn't leading to a more peaceful world. And the administration seems to have no idea what to do about Guantánamo. Congressional Democrats are nervous. Even Obama's media base is concerned. At the end of last week, three leading Obamaphiles offered their lamentations. "The fact is, Obama may be blowing a major opportunity for reform," worried Joe Klein. "There's now a real risk that President Obama will find himself caught in a political-economic trap," warned Paul Krugman. "Failure. Overwhelming, amazing failure," was David Brooks's take on the administration

POPSProject Vote sues former worker Nearly one-third of the cards that ACORN and Project Vote organizers turned in were held to be invalid. Like I said - where there is smoke - generally, there is a fire - however, where there is billowing plumes of smoke - generally you have an out of control major wildfire on your hands! I'm sure someone else probably clipped this earlier but I'm on a rant about ACORN right now and with the thought of these hacks screwing up the census, it is nauseating to think of what they will do. (with Obama's blessings)

POPSUnderstanding the Age of Obama 3. The Private Sector. Nationalizing much of the auto and financial industries, while regulating executive compensation, is an indication of our new government's repeatedly stated reluctance to interfere in the private sector. 4. Race and Gender. Not what is said but who says it and about whom reveals racism and sexism. For example, an Hispanic female judge isn't being offensive if she states that Latinas are inherently better judges than white males. 5. Random violence. Some assassinations represent larger American pathologies, but others do not. When a crazed lone gunman murders someone outside the Holocaust Museum or shoots an abortion doctor, we should worry about growing right-wing and Christian extremism. But when an African-American Muslim convert brags about his murder of a military recruitment officer or an Islamic group plots to kill Jews and blow up a military jet, these are largely isolated incidents without larger relevance.
