Some lib had the bright idea to create a hashtag called “YesWeDid” to promote what they saw as successes in the Obama Administration. ::snork:: It quickly turned into a game of List Obama’s Failures. Here are some selections:
#YesWeDid
Create another hashtag for Conservatives to hijack
Watch our President wear Mom jeans
Spend $60,000 on an IRS Star Trek parody that wasn’t even funny
Call the Ft. Hood shooting ‘workplace violence’
Ignore the little people who voted for us so we could play with rich celebrities
Promise transparency then say “you have to pass it to find out what’s in the legislation”
Take away your doctor, take away your plan, and increase your deductible
Put a record number of people on food stamps
Replace virtue with hashtags and selfies
Call ISIS the “jayvee team”
Tell NASA their PRIMARY MISSION was improving MUSLIM self-esteem
Use the IRS to target political opponents so we could win elections
Take credit for others’ accomplishments
Blame everyone else for failed policies
Take a $100,000,000 taxpayer funded family vacation in Africa
Demonize people who had legitimate and scrupulously considered disagreements with us
Send a WH envoy to the funeral of an attempted cop killer thug
Send NO ONE to the funeral of a MAJOR GENERAL who was KIA
Waste hundreds of millions of taxpayer $$ on Solyndra
Drive the national debt up to $18 TRILLION
Dump thousands of illegal children in US communities w/o any notice
Postpone pain & bad news until after every election
Throw away our military sacrifices in Iraq
Make the world a much more dangerous place
Make Jimmy Carter look competent
On second thought … that list is damned depressing, so maybe I shouldn’t have laughed. ::sigh::
Scratch a Leftist and you will find not only a racist, but also a misogynist.After Rush Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke a “slut”, President Obama phoned Fluke to “send a message to his daughters and all women” that they shouldn’t be “attacked or called horrible names because they are being good citizens.” Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. That’s why he’s repeated his personal condolence calls to Conservative women who have been attacked or called horrible names. Oh wait. No, he hasn’t. Ever.
Nikki Haley is the first woman to serve as Governor of South Carolina.She is also the first non-Euro-American woman to have been elected as governor of a Southern state. At the age of 42, Haley is also the youngest current governor in the United States and one of only two of Indian ethnicity, the other being fellow Republican Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. If she weren’t a Republican, the Identity Politicians on the Left would lurve her. But you know them. Women and members of melanin-rich ethnic minorities are heroic servants of the people if they’re Democrat, but self-haters and sell-outs if they’re Republican.
May 2011: SC Democratic Chairman Dick Harpootlian called Haley “the gubernatorial equivalent of the ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey.'”
April 2012: Harpootlian complained about Haley campaigning for Romney when she should have been governing, then likened her to the Kardashians and Snooki for publishing an autobiography when she allegedly had not yet “accomplished anything significant.”
I think he could have more appropriately likened her to Barack Obama, who didn’t do his job as Senator because he was too busy campaigning in 2008, and who has spent a great deal of time since campaigning and fund-raising instead of governing. Plus, Obama published an autobiography right after graduating from college … unless Harpootlian thinks that a black man graduating from college is a significant enough accomplishment to warrant a 464 page autobiography? Cuz that wouldn’t be even a little bit racist. ::snort::
May 2012: The political director of South Carolina’s Senate Democratic Caucus labeled Nikki Haley the “Sikh Jesus” and warned heatedly that “her daddy wears a turban around Lexington and her mommy has a ruby between her head.”
September 2012: The AFL-CIO president smashed a Nikki Haley pinata and kept whacking at it, to cheers of “Smash her again!”, until the pinata was demolished. Isn’t it good to see Democrats demonstrating against violence against women using a baseball bat? ::coughcrosshairscough::
November 2012: Harpootlian likened Governor Haley to Hitler’s mistress, Eva Braun, and said Haley prefers South Carolina have bad schools, because only uneducated people would elect someone like her. [Project much, Mr. Democrat Person?]
May 2013: Harpootlian said he wished Haley would go “back to wherever the hell she came from.” That would be her hometown of Bamberg, South Carolina, but one must wonder what the Lefties would have made of a Republican saying those words about a non-white Democrat. Dog whistles anyone?
This past week, Democrat SC State Senator Vincent Sheheen said of his opponent Republican SC Governor Nikki Haley, “We’re going to escort whore out the door.” Then he corrected himself and said, “We’re going to escort her out the door.” His campaign said it was his accent and/or he just misspoke and see how he corrected himself? Yes, I did. I also saw how he and his audience snickered and how he then said, “You gotta tell the truth.”
This reminds me of all those times Obama was “just scratching an itch”when he raised his middle finger while mentioning an opponent in a speech. His audiences laughed and he snickered and mugged too. So maybe Sheheen planned to call Haley a “whore” or maybe it really was a Freudian slip. Still … once he had done it and gotten a laugh, he seemed delighted to go along with it. Watch the video and see.
Michelle Malkin said she was sorry Rush called Fluke a “slut”, but noted that “‘slut’ is one of the nicer things I’ve been called over 20 years of public life. In college during the late 1980s, it was ‘race traitor’, ‘coconut’ (brown on the outside white on the inside) and ‘white man’s puppet’. After my first book, ‘Invasion’, came out in 2001, it was ‘immigrant-hater’, the ‘Radical Right’s Asian Pitbull’, ‘Tokyo Rose’ and ‘Aunt Tomasina’. In my third book, 2005′s ‘Unhinged’, I published entire chapters of hate mail rife with degrading, unprintable sexual epithets and mockery of my Filipino heritage.”
If you can stand to see more examples of the Democrat’s War on Conservative Women … here are some compiled by Lori Ziganto:
“What about saying she’s a wh*re?” – Jerry Brown and aide in reference to Meg Whitman
“You have to lift their skirts to find out if they are women. You sure can’t find out by how they vote!” – Democrat Congresswoman State Rep. Janis Sontany (D-TN)
“She works the pole” (as in stripper pole) – Joe Scarborough about Jerri Thompson
“She performed [redacted sexual act] on all the talk show hosts in Milwaukee” – John Sylvester, WDTY about Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch
“She’s a balloon head” – Chris Matthews, MSNBC in reference to Congresswoman Michele Bachmann
“Christian Stepford wife in a ‘sexy librarian’ costume” — “hardcore pornographic centerfold spread.” – Salon, about Sarah Palin
“Vote for only ‘authentic’ female candidates” – Patricia Ireland of N.O.W.
“Sarah Palin is Pat Buchanan in drag” – Eleanor Clift, in Newsweek
“Her greatest hypocrisy is in her pretense that she is a woman.” – Wendy Doniger, The Washington Post
“Do you cheer if the (glass) ceiling is crashed by two conservative businesswomen?” – Slate
“I feels as if all these women winning are kind of a blow to feminism.” – Tina Brown, Daily Beast on Good Morning America
“Sarah Palin’s Mama Grizzlies are merely the latest incarnation of the anti-women’s movement — a movement to oppose real solutions for women, dressed up in a skirt and lipstick, as if to legitimize their efforts to block progress.” – Alternet
“She may be a lady, but she ain’t no woman” – Salon, in reference to Sarah Palin
None of this should be surprisingcoming from the party that removed any mention of God from their platform, cheered more for abortion than for national security, compared Republican VP candidate Paul Ryan to Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels, and declared loudly that all our rights are granted to us by the government, not the other way around as the Declaration and Constitution clearly state.
Just when you thought Wendy Davis had hit the bottom rung, another Democrat comes along to lower the bar even further.
Check out the ad Dave Domina just released. Following the footage of a coma patient wearing a Domina t-shirt, the ad brags that Domina “shows up,” “stands up,” and “makes a difference.” Oy. Remember when liberals claimed that Julie Boonstra, Holly Fisher, and others voicing their opposition to Obamacare were just “Republican props”? At least they were conscious and capable of giving consent.
Mother & Daughter
I wouldn’t have had a problem with the mother talking about her daughter, maybe with a photo of her before the accident or something. But having the girl in the ad AND wearing a campaign t-shirt was just beyond the pale. It reminds me of that time when Obama bragged about a cancer patient who asked to be buried in an Obama t-shirt. He didn’t remember her name, but boy howdy, wasn’t it swell that she lurved him so much? Ick.
Earlier this month, Democratic Nebraska Senate candidate Dave Domina was forced to defend his decision to defend Nazi war criminal Ivan Kalymon in 2006. Domina stood by his work, saying that “Mr. Kalymon lived an honorable life in the U.S.” Plus, you know, Domina is “person without biases against other people” and his “own beloved grandchildren are Jewish people.”
I wonder how his pet “Jewish people” felt about his decision?
Fortunately, Domina’s opponent is WAY ahead in the polls.
“Whether intended or not, the lasting legacy of the Obama administration will be one of stunning dereliction of duty. Yesterday’s news of a confirmed case of Ebola in New York City, combined with still developing reports of another possible Ebola case in Nashville, points to a White House and a federal government that is repeatedly lying to the American public, putting politics over safety, and being led by perhaps the most divisive and incompetent presidential administration in generations. Reader, this is the message that must be repeated to everyone you know as the country prepares for the November elections.” Ulsterman @ http://ulstermanbooks.com/dereliction-duty-obama-white-house-legacy/
October 13, 2014: The Democrat’s candidate for Kentucky’s 2014 U.S. Senate seat, Alison Lundergan-Grimes, had no problem in the past saying that she voted for HRC in the 2008 primary. Now, though, she has decided her presidential votes in 2008 and 2012 are too “sacred” to reveal. Or something.
October 14, 2014: The Democrat’s candidate for Georgia’s 2014 U.S. Senate seat, Michelle Nunn, has likewise refused to answer whether she voted for Obama in 2008 and/or 2012.
October 17, 2014:The Democrat’s candidate for West Virginia’s 2014 U.S. Senate seat, Natalie Tennant, would not mention President Obama by name when asked, answering that she had voted “for the Democratic party” before changing the subject.
October 19, 2014: Shortly after Obama began speaking at a campaign rally, a “noticeable and noisy” number of people in the audience got up and walked out.
2005 VIDEO: Senator Obama rips Bush for being unprepared for avian flu epidemic.The avian flu could only be contracted directly from infected birds, not passed human to human, but the threat of it mutating into a highly infectious flu strain scared the bejeebers out of disease experts. However, as of today, the majority of human cases have resulted from direct contact with infected poultry and there has not been a single case reported in the U.S.
TIMELINE:
2005: A sudden spike in cases of the H5N1 (avian or bird flu) virus (98 cases/43 deaths) led the WHO to warn of a possible global pandemic. As the New York Times reported (link below), then-Senator Barack Obama signed a protest letter with 30 Democrats expressing grave concern that the nation was “dangerously unprepared” and personally scolded the Bush administration from the Senate floor. In a New York Times op-ed, he specifically mentioned the dangers to the American public posed by international air travel.
2008:The CDC informed the incoming Obama administration it had less than one-third the resources necessary to properly protect the nation from an outbreak of deadly diseases like avian flu and Ebola.
2009: In the face of a possible epidemic of swine flu, the Obama administration quietly dusted off federal quarantine regulations that had been proposed by the Bush administration in 2005. Civil liberties people were appalled; health official were generally supportive.
2010:The Obama administration quietly scrapped the quarantine plans it had been developing in case Americans needed to be protected from travelers carrying dangerous diseases.
2014: September 9– WHO says public transportation is “a hot source of potential virus transmission.”
2014: October 3 – Three weeks after declaring the Ebola outbreak a “national security priority”, Obama continued to refuse to ban travel into the U.S. for people who have been in affected West African countries. He has the legal power to impose such an emergency measure.
2014: October 9– Obama released a video saying, “You cannot get [Ebola] sitting next to someone on a bus.” Virus researchers said Ebola could be spread through the air and from infected people exhibiting no symptoms.
2014: October 10– President Obama said in a video message that Ebola cannot be contracted through casual contact “like sitting next to someone on a bus.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advised Americans with symptoms of the disease traveling in or arriving home from Ebola-stricken nations to “avoid public transportation.”
2014: October 15 – President Obama says he personally hugged and kissed two nurses treating Ebola patients and he didn’t get the disease, but since a second Ebola nurse has now contracted the virus, his administration will respond in a “much more aggressive way” to cases of Ebola in the United States.
2014: October 17– The World Health Organization (WHO) announced 9,216 known cases and 4,555 deaths in the Ebola outbreak that began in west Africa in March. Obama’s Secretary of State, John Kerry, called on world leaders to provide cash, helicopters and treatment centers to help fight Ebola. “If we don’t adequately address this current outbreak now, then Ebola has the potential to become a scourge like HIV or polio, that we will end up fighting, all of us, for decades. And we shouldn’t kid ourselves. Winning this fight is going to be costly, it is going to take all of our efforts, and it is not risk-free.”
2014: October 18 – President Obama said no to those demanding a travel ban on planes from West Africa and urged Americans not to give into hysteria about the deadly virus, because we’ve only had three cases.
Obama 2005: The Avian Flu Is Very Dangerous and It’s Only A Matter of Time Before It Comes to America
By Ace of Spades – October 2, 2014 http://ace.mu.nu/archives/352220.php
To be clear, Stage 1 does not occur until some time after the morning news shows “break” the story that dominated the previous day’s social network feeds.
Glenn talks to rebel artist SABO (Interesting to see SABO is black)
SABO made headlines again last week with his Gwyneth Paltrow “Obama Drone” poster.
He’s baaaaaaaack!!
From his web-site:
“Bush the Younger was elected President and the claws came out in Hollywood. I lost my friends along with a great deal of peace. It was not a good time to be a Republican in Hollywood. There was no place I could go where I wasn’t punched in the face by some sort of art defining who I was for being a Republican. Evil, Bigotted, Homophobic, Out of Touch, Rich, Greedy, on and on. And then I snapped. Why was the Left allowed to define me and where are the dissenting voices from the Right setting the record straight? Creatively speaking, no one.
“I believe the Right has a great message, sadly the only people telling it are those on the Left and they do a damn fine job making us look like ass holes and what do Republicans do about it, NOT A DAMN THING!!! Fuck it! I guess it’s just going to have to be me, I thought. My aim as an artist is to be as dirty, ground level, and mean as any Liberal artist out there, more so if I can. Use their tactics, their methods, appeal to their audience, the young, urban , street urchins with a message they never hear in a style they own. My name is SABO, I’m an UNSAVORYAGENT.”
He isn’t kidding about going “dirty, ground level, and mean.” It’s not my style, but it’s also not like he started it. Tampon earrings, anyone?
Andrew Klavan: Helping the Pro-Obama Media Learn From the Past [3:41]
“The progressive pajama boy era is over. … Now instead of pivoting from Global Warming to a minimum wage to some offensive thing that some local Republican somewhere said, the media is stuck in an Ebola-ISIS cycle that reminds Americans on a daily basis that everything really is out of control. … Obama is already receding into the imagination of liberals as the youthful folly of a political Age of Aquarius when millennials tried to levitate the Pentagon by electing a brash inexperienced community organizer to fix the world.”
As Obama-appointed U.S. health officials reassure (lie to) us about Ebola, disease experts say the science isn’t settled.
It seems scientists know very little about the strain now in circulation, apart from the fact that it is particularly virulent.
But no fear! The Obama CDC is sticking with the official narrative that you can keep your health if you want to! Aren’t you reassured?
Obama’s actions appear to be designed to ensure the spread of the disease as soon as possible. For example, the CDC claims that security screening at West African airports is working just fine, even though that is how the first U.S. case arrived here.
While Obama refuses to bar air travel from infected countries to the United States, Sierra Leone ended their outbreak with one and only one case. The infected person arrived from Liberia and the government locked down the nation. There has been no spread of the disease and the infected person even recovered.
Personally, I think that as long as Obamacrats do not personally lose their fortunes or their health, they are perfectly happy to see war, plague, famine and death spread from sea to shining sea.
