Obama’s Health Care Lies
Good reading from Forbes on Obama’s health care plan and the lies he’s been telling us.
You can’t trust the government to run anything well. Name one thing, besides ripping us off, that they do well? It takes them forever to fix a road, then they dig it up again a week later to lay some cable. They can’t administer anything without going over budget. They are insanely in debt. Obama said we’re out of money. Medicare will run out of money in 8 years, yet he wants to stick us with a new entitlement that will cost over a trillion dollars?
I’m really tired of complaining about Obama, but he’s the worst president I have seen by far. I remember all the way back to JFK.
Bad News of the Day
Al Franken just won the legal case in Minn. which means he be sworn in an senator giving the Dems a filibuster proof majority needed to pass any law they want. Norm Coleman is not fighting any further.
That means all the insane bills that are being written by this out of control government may go through. Including the new Cap and Trade bill.
Let’s hope there are enough sane Democrats who will defect on these monsters.
U.N. Me
Climate change is the new “the devil made me do it” excuse for everything now. It shows what a bogus scam it is.
Different Response
I hadn’t seen this one before. It shows how the troops react to Bush and Obama.
The Iranian Revolution
Enough with Michael Jackson, MSM. People are dying in Iran.
The Fix is In
The EPA supressed dissenting views on climate change in the weeks leading up to the cap and trade bill. What a surprise.
The Environmental Protection Agency may have suppressed an internal report that was skeptical of claims about global warming, including whether carbon dioxide must be strictly regulated by the federal government, according to a series of newly disclosed e-mail messages.
Less than two weeks before the agency formally submitted its pro-regulation recommendation to the White House, an EPA center director quashed a 98-page report that warned against making hasty “decisions based on a scientific hypothesis that does not appear to explain most of the available data.”
Remember how NASA crank alleged-scientist James Hansen took out 100 press conferences to say his pro-AGW views were being suppressed by the Bush administration. The above exam0ple is what real suppression looks like in the Obama administration.
RIP Billy Mays
The TV pitchman checked out last night. Some are suggesting it may be because of a bump on the head he recieved on a flight yesterday.
He was only 50.

The Biggest Liar Around
This president reneges on deals worse than Michael Jackson and he’s trying to put this country under some kind of a federal politburo worse than the Soviet Union. Of course, he tries to spin it.
Hours after the House passed landmark legislation meant to curb greenhouse gas emissions and create an energy-efficient economy, President Barack Obama on Saturday urged senators to show courage and follow suit.
The sharply debated bill’s fate is unclear in the Senate, and Obama used his weekly radio and Internet address to ratchet up pressure on the 100-seat chamber.
“My call to every senator, as well as to every American, is this,” he said. “We cannot be afraid of the future. And we must not be prisoners of the past. Don’t believe the misinformation out there that suggests there is somehow a contradiction between investing in clean energy and economic growth.”
Cap and Trade is the administrations attempt to put energy companies under its thumb like it di ith Banks and Auto. And is trying to do with Medical and Insurance industries with its health care plans. This administration is trying to socialize every aspect of America and destroy free trade.
You can’t believe anything Obama says. Here are two examples of his mendacity:
1. Obama claimed with the Rod Blagojevich scandal that: “I only saw Rod Blagojevich one time … and that was in the stands and from a distance at a Chicago Bears Football Game.”
Here’s evidence of his lie. There are a lot more pictures than these out there.
Since so many people have whined about this not being sourced (tell it to Sarah Palin, people) you can substitute this recent lie Obama has told. One of many. And this one is on video.
2. Remember when he said has transparency on bills and no more bills would have things slipped in them. He would allow people five days to review them? He broke that one. He also claimed people will know what corporations benefit. He’s broke that one too.
3. He said the stimulus had to be rushed through because we had shovel ready projects that would provide jobs. Almost none of that stimulus money has been spent since that bill was rushed through. It was another scam.
Now look what he is doing to the dollar while he’s trying to nationalize every sector of the economy.
We need to fire all of these creeps from government while we still have voting rights. We’re going to end up like Iran with crazed ideologues running the country. And no one will have any rights. It’s happening before our eyes.
UPDATE: Many people seem to have an issue with that quote in #1 since it’s unsourced. Yet no one has debunked it at this date. We can call it a draw on that one. However, here is another lie he told that is related that will one day be revealed. Chicago politicians are known for their corruption and the fact is these kind of deal are S.O.P. there. Look at the illegal bankruptcy dealings on the two auto companies the administration rammed through giving the unions unprecedented power and shared ahead of the other creditors. That alone should have Obama impeached.
My Michael Jackson Experience
I met Michael Jackson just once back in 1993. It was only months before the story broke that he was accused of sexually molesting the then 13 year old Jordy Chandler.
Like a lot of people before that scandal, I was an admirer of his music. I grew up listening to the Jackson Five and later Michael Jackson’s solo efforts. I wasn’t a huge fan, but I bought most of his CDs.
Coincidentally, I was living in Encino, California in 1993. The Jackson family lived not far from me. I would see Joe Jackson at the supermarket or Randy at the car wash. But I never expected to meet Michael.
About once a week I would go over the hill to Golden Apple Comics on Melrose. It was owned by a friend, the late Bill Liebowitz, and I also had a bunch of friends who worked there. They told me Michael was a frequent customer. He would go there with a group of kids and buy them whatever they wanted. He would often spend thousands on those days, so he was a favorite customer.
I asked one of my friends there if Michael bought any comics for himself. He said sure. So I said what kind of books does he read? He said “Anything with kids in them.” I remember thinking: “Brrr!” at the time.
Sure, that could be innocent and all, but there were all those stories even then of Michael having kids with him all the time. Which is kind of odd for a grown man, but Michael Jackson was never known for being normal.
Everyone I know who knew him personally said he was a very nice guy, kind of quiet and he did a lot with charity. No one had a bad thing to say about him. But I did detect a certain cautious vibe when discussing Michael with my friends at the store. They didn’t say why, but they felt he was weird. And this is from people who worked at a store on Melrose in L.A.
So one day I came in the store and one of my friends told me Jackson was in the store. And there he was, over by the comics rack. He had his arm around someone like he was on a date. That someone was Jordy Chandler.
I walked over to the long racks and pretended not to notice them. Jackson has his people with him including his driver. That driver was to later be a witness against Jackson in his trial.
Jackson was whispering in Jordy’s ear and they were acting totally like people on a date. It was not the kind of behavior a couple of straight guys do together. Then they went back in the store in the employee area and disappeared. They were gone for a half hour. I stuck around and talked to my friends, just shooting the breeze. I assumed Jackson left by the back door to avoid people. But Bill the owner asked me if I wanted to meet Michael Jackson, and I said, sure.
Jackson reappeared, and left the store. I went out there with Bill and he introduced me. Jordy had detached from Michael and went to the car which was a black SUV. I didn’t shake hands with Jackson, I only got to exchange pleasantries. But I noticed something, when I tried to look him in the eyes, he had this very evasive, almost crazed look.
Now, I have met a lot of celebrities so I don’t really see them as anything other than people who work in the entertainment business. No celeb has ever awed me and Jackson was no different. I know he wasn’t acting weird because of me. I got the sense something was going on. Either he was nuts or on something at the time. Because that was a weird look in his eyes.
After they took off, I went back in the store to buy some comics and I asked one of my friends what they were doing in the back room for so long. He said Michael and Jordy were in the bathroom for a half hour.
Yeah.
I said, huh? He said that’s not unusual for him.
Now, I don’t know what they did in there, but it was a small one person bathroom. And I can only think of a couple reasons two people would go into a small bathroom together. One of the nice reasons is they were helping the other with their costume. He wasn’t wearing anything hat out of the ordinary. So that leaves the other two reasons, since we can assume Jordy is potty trained at 13. Sex or drugs.
When the story about the molestation broke a few months later, that pretty much made up my mind which reason it was.
A lot of people say Michael Jackson did not molest kids. Maybe not. But I have a hard time believing it.
Everyone I know, who worked with Michael had great things to say about him, so I suppose he wasn’t a bad person. But if you have followed his story closely, he was no saint either. He actively worked to insure his brothers would never succeed. He reneged on deals constantly and didn’t pay people he owed money to.
There will be a lot of stories coming out about him and his defenders will work hard to try to canonize him. But the truth is a lot more complex.
UPDATE: Now Chandler is claiming nothing happened. I think he is embarrassed by teh while thing now that he’s an adult. He cold have come out while MJ was alive, but no.
I stand by my story.
