Oh goodie - witch hunts!

Remember, it's not sufficient to defeat your enemy - you must discredit and destroy them as well.

President Barack Obama said Tuesday the United States lost "our moral bearings" with gruesome terror-suspect interrogations and he left the door open to prosecuting Bush administration officials who vouched for their legality.

Oh, and a nice bit of editorializing from Jennifer "Kneepads" Loven there.  Gruesome, Jennifer?

I can't wait to see how The Dark Lord handles this latest softball from Obambi.  Seriously.

Mr. Post-Partisan strikes again

Here's a great idea - let's dump highly confidential memos from the previous Administration out on the White House lawn.  What could possibly go wrong?

Sweet Jeebus - is there anything the teleprompter messiah and his asshole minions won't politicize?

Patriotic Dissent - sooooooo last administration.

DHS - the new brownshirts.

Rightwing extremists are harnessing this historical election as a recruitment tool. Many rightwing extremists are antagonistic toward the new presidential administration and its perceived stance on a range of issues, including immigration and citizenship, the expansion of social programs to minorities, and restrictions on firearms ownership and use. Rightwing extremists are increasingly galvanized by these concerns and leverage them as drivers for recruitment. From the 2008 election timeframe to the present, rightwing extremists have capitalized on related racial and political prejudices in expanded propaganda campaigns, thereby reaching out to a wider audience of potential sympathizers.

Well I must admit, that description pretty much fits me to a "T".

More from Gabe Malor and MM.

Dissent - it's just not for Patriots anymore.

Well, we now understand why Obama kept-on SecDef Gates.

So that when the Ayers-worshiper went about dismantling the US Armed Forces he could put a nominally Republican FaceTM on the process.

Gates announced a broad range of cuts Monday to weapons spending, saying he plans to cut programs ranging from a new helicopter for the president to ending production of the $140 billion F-22 fighter jet. The Army's modernization program would be scaled back, while a new satellite system and a search-and-rescue helicopter would be cut.

Sure, because Heaven Forbid we modernize the Army in a time of asymmetrical warfare.

What could possibly go wrong?

The good news?  These cuts will all bring howls of protest from Congress and are not likely to see the light of day.

The bad news?  That they would be proposed in the first place, of course.

The Chicago Way

The President of the United States as Don Corleone...

“My administration,” the president added, “is the only thing between you (the CEO's of big banking companies) and the pitchforks.”

Yep, the pitchfork wielding mob that you, Community Organizer in Chief, set-up, nursed, have now fed billions of our tax dollars of our money, and who's Perpetual OutrageTM you go out of your way to stoke daily.

It's the Chicago Way, of course.

Fuck you, Mr. President.  The only thing standing between you and the pitchforks is apathy among the electorate - and that can change on a dime, bucko.

I ask again, is there anyone - anyone - still alive and breathing at RNC headquarters these days?

A message for the Society of the Perpetually Outraged...

Hey leftards!  Any time y'all who got your frilly pink panties into such a wad over Dubya's perceived shredding of the Constitution want to, you know, show some outrage over President Zero's actual shredding of self-same Constitution would be fine with me.

Any time...

The question that is begged.

I have no love lost for former GM CEO Rick Wagoner, but given the Epic Fail! job Team Zero has done putting their own staff together do you really think it's a good idea letting these people decide who should be running General Motors?

Just asking.

Another unpublished feature of Obamnomics.

All those "Green Jobs" El Presidente is talking about?  Turns out they are great stimulators of unemployment.

If Spain's experience is any guide, there are serious job losses from green stimulus measures like the ones contemplated in Obama's plans. According to a study from King Juan Carlos University in Madrid, For every new job sustained by subsidized renewable energy at least 2.2 are lost in other industries.

Awesome.

H/T: GP.

Good thing there's noting important for the President to do.

True to form, the President is acting like it's his first real job.

Well, it's working so well in Ugo's Paradise.

And, of course, everything here in Obamerica is going according to plan...

So why not give Turbo Tax Timmy the power to seize non-banking financial institutions as well as banks?

The Obama administration is considering asking Congress to give the Treasury secretary unprecedented powers to initiate the seizure of non-bank financial companies, such as large insurers, investment firms and hedge funds, whose collapse would damage the broader economy, according to an administration document. ...

Giving the Treasury secretary authority over a broader range of companies would mark a significant shift from the existing model of financial regulation, which relies on independent agencies that are shielded from the political process.

What could possibly go wrong?

And speaking of Greg Mankiw...

The Professor today is kind enough to provide a very brief overview into just how wildly, ludicrously, idiotically optimistic are Zero's assumptions of future economic growth.

H/T: AoSHQ, who suggested Zero's assumptions were "bordering on delusional".  I respectfully disagree - Zero and Comrades know precisely that they are full of shit, but expect Oprah Nation to go along with the smoke and mirrors long enough to implement the bulk (if not the entirety) of their Free Lunch Someone Else Pays ForTM agenda.

Well, this is shocking.

Uh, not at all, actually.

President Barack Obama's budget would generate deficits averaging almost $1 trillion a year over the next decade, according to the latest congressional estimates, significantly worse than predicted by the White House just last month.

Translation - The Unicorn King was lying his fucking ass off in putting forward his budget, evidently written by that noted faux economist Rosy Scenario.

The awesomeness never ends.

Expect this news to get shoved down a memory hole as fast as the MSM can recycle an AIG OUTRAGETM story.

You know, maybe we won't charge vets for their care after all.

The Obama Administration - scary smart.

Well, good - glad they got this one right.  I mean, this was a dopey-to-the-n-power idea that never had a chance of seeing the light of day, much less becoming law - but still, glad to see the expiration date on this one come sooner rather than later.

So, another unforced error by the messiah.  Pretty soon people are going to start questioning his competence.

You know, Rummy killed weapons programs too.

What could possibly go wrong?

Gates readies big cuts in weapons

Now, as the only Bush Cabinet member to remain under President Obama, (SecDef Robert) Gates is preparing the most far-reaching changes in the Pentagon's weapons portfolio since the end of the Cold War, according to aides.

Sure, because killing programs that employ actual Americans and provides our soldiers, sailors and airmen with the best equipment possible in a time of global instibility and economic collapse is a brilliant fucking idea.

I'm sure someone believes this horseshit.

No really, the Obama Administration isn't really, seriously, ginormously increasing the size and scope of Government.  After all, Tim "Tax Cheat" Geithner said so.

Now, again, if you take out interest costs, and you take out the modest increase forced by aging of the baby boom, this is a change in priorities for the country, but it's not a significant growth in the overall size of the government to GDP.

So I suppose this means that so long as you ignore all the spending then there's not really all that much spending going on.

Seriously, this was the only guy for the job?  My 13-year old daughter pulls this sort of BS on me - I expect better from the guy I was told was the super-smartest mega-genius in the history of History.

Hey, this sounds like a swell idea.

I know, let's balance the budget on the backs of wounded vets.

The leader of the nation's largest veterans organization says he is "deeply disappointed and concerned" after a meeting with President Obama today to discuss a proposal to force private insurance companies to pay for the treatment of military veterans who have suffered service-connected disabilities and injuries. ...

"It became apparent during our discussion today that the President intends to move forward with this unreasonable plan," said Commander David K. Rehbein of The American Legion.

Gee, a liberal Democrat sticking it to the military.  Color me shocked.

Phew! We really dodged a bullet with that Palin chick.

Joe Biden - the gift that keeps on giving.

5 percent of the Taliban is incorrigible, not susceptible to anything other than being defeated.  Another 25 percent or so are not quite sure, in my view, the intensity of their commitment to the insurgency.  And roughly 70 percent are involved because of the money, because of them being -- getting paid.

"In my view"?  You mean, not in the view of all this "Tough. Smart." intel your Administration promised us?

So, you're just kinda sorta making it up as you go.  Right?

Poor baby.

Aww - poor Zero was too fucking tired to show proper respect to the elected leader of our oldest and most reliable ally.

Sources close to the White House say Mr Obama and his staff have been "overwhelmed" by the economic meltdown and have voiced concerns that the new president is not getting enough rest.

Not only are we obviously a Nation of Crybaby Pussies but we evidently now have a President who personifies it.  Awesome.

Worst. Administration. Ever.

The level of Craptacular in Porkulus simply knows no bounds.

Who didn't see this coming?

Tens of thousands of jobs created by the economic stimulus law could end up filled by illegal immigrants, particularly in big states such as California where undocumented workers are heavily represented in construction, experts on both sides of the issue say.

So, who's up for your kids' future earnings being used to provide "stimulus" money - after the recession is projected to be, ahem, over - for people who have no legal business being in the US?  Anyone?
