B-Man Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Jonathan Turley: The left’s indifference to Obama’s executive power grabs is beginning to border on a cult of personality "I am astonished by the degree of passivity in Congress, particularly by Democrats.” Obama’s NewspeakThe meaning of words, and history itself, are malleable when it comes to our president and his record. by Victor Davis Hanson The nightmare societies portrayed in the George Orwell novels 1984 and Animal Farm gave us the word “Orwellian.” That adjective reflects a vast government’s efforts not just to deceive and control the people, but also to do so by reinventing the meaning of ordinary words while rewriting the past itself. America, of all places, is becoming Orwellian. The president repeatedly reminds the American people that under his leadership, the U.S. has produced a record level of new oil and natural gas. But didn’t Obama radically curtail leases for just such new energy production on federal lands? Have the edicts on the barn wall of Animal Farm been changed again, with the production of new oil and gas suddenly going from bad to good? Does anyone remember that the Affordable Care Act was sold on the premise that it would guarantee retention of existing health plans and doctors, create 4 million new jobs, and save families $2,500 a year in premiums, all while extending expanded coverage to more people at a lower cost? Only in Orwell’s world of doublespeak could raising taxes, while the costs of millions of health plans soars, be called “affordable.” Is losing your existing plan and doctor a way of retaining them? The Congressional Budget Office recently warned that Obamacare would “keep hours worked and potential output during the next 10 years lower than they would be otherwise.” That nonpartisan verdict should be bad news for workers. Not in our brave new world. The Obama administration says it is pleased that workers will now be freed from “job lock.” What is job lock — a made-up Newspeak word right out of 1984? Work fewer hours, make less money, and create fewer outputs — and be happy. About every January since 2009, the president has promised to close Guantanamo Bay. Is the detention facility now sort of virtually closed — in the manner that Syrian president Bashar Assad and his chemical weapons are now virtually gone as Obama decreed years ago, and in the manner that we are still hunting down the murderers in Benghazi who were supposedly outraged over a video? Is there an Orwellian “memory hole” where these embarrassing proclamations are disposed? In 2004, many in the media reported that George W. Bush, the demonized Emmanuel Goldstein of our era, had overseen a “jobless recovery.” Unemployment at election time in 2004 was 5.4 percent. Yet since January 2009, only two months have seen joblessness dip slightly below 7 percent. A record 90 million able-bodied Americans are not participating in the workforce. Yet the president, in Orwellian doublespeak fashion, recently claimed that the job picture is good. If 5.4 percent unemployment was once called a jobless recovery, are we now in a jobless recovery from a jobless recovery?

B-Man Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 ‘The State, It Is I’ President Obama has apparently found a strategy that will prevent Republicans from using Obamacare as a weapon against endangered Democrats in this fall’s midterm elections. He will simply make the law disappear. Earlier this week, the president once again waved his hands and said the magic words, postponing implementation of the law’s employer mandate for the second time. The law itself imposes a specific statutory deadline for businesses with 50 or more employees to provide insurance to their workers or pay a penalty, “beginning after December 31, 2013.” But the president dispensed with such legalities last fall, postponing the mandate’s effective date until January 1, 2015. Now he has changed it yet again. . Free At Last! Obama solves “Constitution-lock.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Racially Exclusive Obama The Washington Postreported earlier this week that President Obama would “launch a significant new effort Thursday to bolster the lives of young minority men.” That hasn’t happened yet, probably because of the weather rather than any second thoughts by the administration, but one can hope. As I wrote when this proposal was alluded to in the State of the Union speech, why should a program be limited only to those of a certain color? There are disadvantaged young men (and women) of all racial and ethnic groups. This is bad policy, and unconstitutional. .

3rdnlng Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I can picture the two White house dogs having a conversation that starts out like this: "What do you think Mortimer, should we have really experimented with making a community organizer President?I don't know Randolf, maybe we should have stopped with the Winthorpe, Billy Ray Valentine experiment. How can the White House even let a picture like this get out? It smacks of elitism, with a little gloating on the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Woodward: The Ball Is in Obama’s Court President Obama could work with Republicans on two of the issues he’d like to focus on, income inequality and the unemployment crisis, the Washington Post’s Bob Woodward says. Though it is an election year, the GOP’s agreement to raise the debt ceiling without any strings attached, Woodward said on Face the Nation this morning, means there’s an opening for constructive legislation — if the president takes the chance. “I think it’s possible, because of this moment, particularly the president could say, ‘Let’s work something out’” on two key economic issues, inequality and unemployment. “He could actually work some deals with the Republicans in Congress, to help those two things in a measurable way. And, as we say, the ball is in his court.” Sorry Bob, very little chance of this President showing any leadership... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 He's a spoiled brat child who's gotten his way all throughout his life and, worst for the country, in his first year as prezizzle.

OCinBuffalo Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 It's possible that Greg Gutfeld is right: Obama looks at the Presidency of the United States...as merely the part-time job that allows him to support his full-time community organizing. Obama the loser political activist, no steps removed from a OWS clown who works at Kinkos, because both use their part time job as the base of their political operations. It's entirely possible that he really hasn't changed his perspective at all. Not even this high office can modulate his view of himself as the social justice "police". Just like an OWS clown, that means that all tactics, however illegal, however classless, however bad for the people, now, are on the table, because the long-term goal of social justice(which remains as nebulous today as it has ever been) is trump. Look at the big picture: ALL the behavior follows this pattern, and show me a single deed/word that doesn't. If you really stop and think about it, Greg Gutfeld is probably right. Again, show me a better explanation for all of this, and I'll be happy to listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdnlng Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 http://washingtonexaminer.com/poll-71-of-obama-supporters-regret-voting-for-his-reelection/article/2544165 Over seven in 10 Obama voters, and 55 percent of Democrats, regret voting for President Obama's reelection in 2012, according to a newEconomist/YouGov.com poll. Conducted to test the media hype about a comeback by 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, the new poll found voters still uninspired by Romney, but also deeply dissatisfied with Obama who has so far failed to capitalize on his victory over 15 months ago. The poll asked those who voted for Obama's reelection a simple question: “Do you regret voting for Barack Obama?” — 80 percent of whites said yes, 61 percent of blacks said no and 100 percent of Hispanics said yes.— Overall, 71 percent said yes, 26 percent no.
