Obama Allies with Mexican Drug Cartels in Traitorous Fight Against America

Why have Barack Hussein Obama and his Attorney General, Eric Holder, joined legal action against Arizona’s efforts to protect American citizens from the murderous drug cartels along the America border with Mexico?   When ever has an American president allied himself with a foreign government, in this case Mexico, in court action against an American state?

Is Obama, indeed, so foreign to American culture and being that he has become the nation’s number one foreign enemy?

Obama to Fox News reporter:

 “I didn’t know you were the spokesperson for Mitt Romney”

posted  by Allahpundit   at HotAir

Via Greg Hengler, here’s O “kidding” with Ed Henry by implying that he’s a hack whose network is already in the tank for the likely nominee. Is that why Henry brought Romney up in his question — as a free plug at Obama’s expense for the guy who polls best against him head to head? Or is it maybe because Obama and his team are themselves already gratuitously injecting Romney into their political messaging and planning to start campaigning against him months before the first votes in Iowa are cast?

Mitt Romney hasn’t won anything yet, but President Barack Obama’s campaign team is confident enough that Romney is the probable — if not the presumptive — Republican nominee that they have begun aiming their fire almost exclusively at him…

“The other Republicans have sucked so bad we didn’t have any choice” but begin to target Romney months before the Iowa caucuses, said a top Obama ally, who spoke on condition of anonymity…

[T]he Obama campaign, stocked with 2008 veterans, thinks Obama’s standing in the polls is too low to allow Romney free reign to trash Obama without direct pushback. Moreover, they are thrilled to jump back in the middle of a campaign and eager to go on the attack after years on defense in the besieged West Wing.

But most importantly, targeting Romney gives Obama what he’s lacked since dispatching John McCain 23 months ago: A living, breathing, deeply flawed Republican foil who liberates the president from running only on the the hope-and-change expectations of 2008, now frayed after three difficult years.

There’s why he snapped at Henry, of course. If his job approval was at 55/40, you could shoot “Mitt Romney says” spitballs at him all day and he’d simply smile magnanimously and thank Mitt once again for his inspiration on ObamaCare. At 40/53, you get this — a sort of peevish humor. If his numbers slide any further, that last shred of mirth will disintegrate and he’ll be in full “let me be clear” glower mode. In fact, you could probably plot his mood at the mention of Romney’s name against his polling on a graph and produce a straight line. Something for Nate Silver to try whenever he has some downtime, maybe.

Two clips, one the exchange with Henry and the other, via Mediaite, of Henry’s reaction after the presser.

Being “Provincial” is not all bad……Congrats to PowerLine for reaching out, Beyond The Provincial

Posted on October 13, 2011 by Steven Hayward

A Commercial for Power Line

“I think Power Line deserves to take a bow once in a while.  After I heard a tip last week from someone just back from Japan about the Wikileaks disclosure of a cable rebuffing an Obama “Apology Tour” stop at Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 2009, I naturally Googled to see what I could find.  Although the story had appeared in a number of English language newspapers in Japan, I couldn’t find any mention of it anywhere in the American media, or in the blogosphere.  So I think it is fair to say Power Line had the story first (“The World Apology Tour Revisited”).

I think Michael Barone was the first to pick up on it in his Washington Examiner blog space (mentioning Power Line), then Investors Business Daily, then Fox News “Special Report” last night, and also Jake Tapper’s “Political Punch” blog at ABC News.  The White House has had to issue a denial that any such apology was planned.  Yeah, and they never heard of Solyndra either.  Let’s go to the tape: as Obama’s own ambassador put it, the Japanese government felt that “the idea of President Obama visiting Hiroshima to apologize for the atomic bombing during World War II is a ‘non-starter.’”  Where, oh where, would the Japanese government have got such an idea into their head?”

Another object lesson in the ability of the Internet to break the Mainstream Media monopoly.  Hat tip to Wikileaks, of course.  But as I said in the original post, anyone who thinks the damage from Wikileaks won’t affect the Left, too, isn’t paying attention.

Comment:   I know little about the folks at PowerLine except that  John Hinderaker is covered with Minnesota dust……and, provincial as I am, that cannot be bad.   After all, he  is not a Liberal.   I read their entries often, and as you MN Prager fans know, I often share them with you.    I did see the acknowledgement by Michael Barone, and became excited as if  he were  writing about my neighbor.   How gopher can you get?

I have found few provinicials that are as cold, stiff, and calculating as Barack Obama.   He has a very limited education to hide and protect.  He must limit himself to his obsessions to be safe.

Why Are So Many Democrats Afraid of Voting Registration Honesty?

ANSWER:  BECAUSE THEY ARE MARXISTS.     Marxism is a religion whose disdain for God matches its disdain for honesty in its devotion to establish a dictatorship to control human activity.   Winning control is all that matters.  Follow Barack Obama’s analyses of events carefully.

Posted on October 13, 2011 by John Hinderaker in Voter Fraud

How Rare Is Voter Fraud?

Conservatives are generally concerned about voter fraud, while liberals, almost universally, are not. That in itself tells you something. Of course, liberals don’t explicitly come out in favor of voter fraud; rather, they argue that lax enforcement of election laws is no problem because voter fraud hardly exists.

The problem with this easy assurance is that we have no clear way to know how prevalent voter fraud is. By definition, those who perpetrate it seek to go undetected, and it is a circular argument to say that there is no need for better law enforcement because our current lax enforcement hasn’t caught many violators.

Here in Minnesota, a group called Minnesota Majority has done an excellent job of digging into the voter fraud issue. Today, Minnesota Majority sent out an email announcing its report on criminal convictions that have resulted from its efforts here in Minnesota. It said, in part:

The report finds that 113 individuals who voted illegally in the 2008 election have been convicted of the crime, “ineligible voter knowingly votes” under Minnesota Statute 201.014.

“As far as we can tell, this is the largest number of voter fraud convictions arising from a single election in the past 75 years,” said Minnesota Majority president Jeff Davis, “Prosecutions are still underway and so there will likely be even more convictions.”

The highest number of convictions ever recorded in the United States came from the 1936 Jackson County, Missouri elections in which 259 individuals were convicted of voter fraud. A more recent five-year probe by the United States Department of Justice identified just 53 convictions for voter fraud nationwide.

“It’s mind-boggling to me that as a tiny non-profit corporation, we netted more than double the number of convictions in one year than the US Department of Justice was able to find in five,” said Davis.

Minnesota’s recent charges and convictions stem from research initiated by Minnesota Majority. The research identified upwards of 2,800 ineligible felons believed to have unlawfully voted in Minnesota’s 2008 general election.

“These convictions are just the tip of the iceberg,” said Davis. “The actual number of illegal votes cast was in the thousands. Most unlawful voters were never charged with a crime because they simply pled ignorance. We have evidence of these people casting illegal ballots, but in Minnesota, ignorance of election law is considered to be an acceptable defense.”

At the time of this report, nearly 200 additional cases are still pending trial.

Are a few thousand illegal voters a big deal? When a U.S. Senate race can be decided by 300 votes, they certainly are. In my opinion, there is little doubt that in the famous 2008 Senate race between Norm Coleman and Al Franken, more legal votes were cast for Coleman. Yet it is Franken who now sits in the Senate, and Franken cast the vote the Democrats needed to pass Obamacare.

Minnesota Majority is doing a great job not only of uncovering the crime of voter fraud, but of deterring its future commission. I am not sure whether similar efforts are underway in other states, but if they aren’t, they should be.

Charles Krauthammer….The Occupy People Are Determined ‘to eat the Rich’

When Will American Blacks Be Free of Leftwing Tyranny of the Urban Plantation Culture?

Herman Cain to Blacks: Divorce the Democratic Party

By Larry Elder

What to do about Herman Cain?

This question goes not to the Republican Party, where “establishment” candidates like Mitt Romney privately dismiss Cain as lacking the experience, gravitas and resources to beat President Barack Obama and then to soundly govern the country.

Herman Cain is not going to be the GOP nominee.

Without a serious star-power staff, a ground game, chits to be called in by the candidate or the candidate’s influential network of friends of influence, the “fat cats” sit on their checkbooks until and unless they believe their horse can win. A serious presidential candidate is not one who, like Cain, breaks from campaigning for a book tour timed to coincide with his unlikely quest for the White House.

No, Cain is a clear and present danger to the Democratic Party — and their invaluable near-monolithic black vote. Cain says things like: “African-Americans have been brainwashed” into voting for the Democratic Party; “If you (Wall Street protestors) don’t have a job or you’re not rich, blame yourself”; “People sometimes hold themselves back because they want to use racism as an excuse for them not being able to achieve what they want to achieve”; and “I don’t believe racism in this country today holds anybody back in a big way.”

How do some influential left-wing blacks react? Not well:

Cornell West, professor of black studies at Princeton: Cain needs to “get off the symbolic crack pipe.”

Harry Belafonte, entertainer, civil rights activist: “He’s a bad apple, and people should look at his whole card. He’s not what he says he is.”

Tavis Smiley, PBS host and NPR broadcaster, simply writes off Cain’s comments as “ridiculous or crazy.”

But Cain threatens to change the race-card game in ways that even those who voted against Barack Obama hoped he would do: Put the stake through the heart of the nonsense that white racism still holds people back. Instead, Obama sides with a black Harvard professor who badly mistreats a white Cambridge cop who was just doing his job. Obama tells an author that racism fuels the opposition to ObamaCare. Obama says nothing when comrades ranging from former President Jimmy Carter to Jesse Jackson Jr. to Morgan Freeman defend Obama by blaming racism.

Now comes Cain.

He calls his economic program 9-9-9. But Cain’s real number is 95. That is the percentage of the black vote captured in 2008 by Obama. What if someway, somehow, the Republicans captured over 35 percent of black presidential vote, as the GOP did as recently as 1956?

Cain asks this question: Why do blacks, in 2011, vote Democratic? Answer: because a) they falsely believe racism remains a serious threat and b) that Republicans are bad people who wish them ill. Neither of which, says Cain, is true. Blacks are more anti-abortion, more pro-traditional marriage and more pro-vouchers for inner-city parents than the typical non-black Democrat. A bad economy, made worse by Obama’s tax-spend-regulate, welfare-state mentality, means blacks suffer disproportionately.

This argument makes Cain a walking refutation to the black victicrat “leaders” who speak about the “plight” of the “black underclass,” and who attribute legitimate policy differences to “racism.”

Cain represents a hardworking, up-from-the-bootstraps, financially successful, plainspoken Republican Southern black man who believes America in 2011 and America in 1960 are two different worlds. Worse for the grievance crowd, Cain calls out the Democratic Party for fostering a victicrat mentality and creating a sense of entitlement.

Cain’s straight talk makes him stand out in debates. He is now close to cracking the “top tier” of candidates. Clearly, lots of people have begun to listen. What if blacks start listening?

Cain believes what former slave Booker T. Washington wrote a mere 35 years after slavery ended:

“When a Negro girl learns to cook, to wash dishes, to sew, to write a book, or a Negro boy learns to groom horses, or to grow sweet potatoes, or to produce butter, or to build a house, or to be able to practise medicine, as well or better than some one else, they will be rewarded regardless of race or colour. In the long run, the world is going to have the best, and any difference in race, religion, or previous history will not long keep the world from what it wants.

“I think that the whole future of my race hinges on the question as to whether or not it can make itself of such indispensable value that the people in the town and the state where we reside will feel that our presence is necessary to the happiness and well-being of the community. No man who continues to add something to the material, intellectual, and moral well-being of the place in which he lives is long left without proper reward. This is a great human law which cannot be permanently nullified.”

Or, as Cain puts it, “I left the Democrat plantation a long time ago.” 

Rich Lefties Rich Enough to Give Obama MILLIONS to Advance MARXISM

Obama/DNC Raised $70 Million in Third Quarter

 

 by Devin Dwyer   at Political Punch

“The Obama Campaign and Democratic National Committee raised a combined nearly $70 million for the 2012 campaign from July through September, the groups reported today in an email to supporters.

Obama for America brought in $42.8 million, while the DNC banked $23.7 million, a campaign official told ABC News.  The figures include transfers from the Obama Victory Fund, a joint account that funnels money to both groups.

All 17 fundraisers Obama attended during the quarter supported the fund, with the first $5,000 of an individual’s contribution going to the Obama Campaign and the rest, up to $30,800, going to the DNC.

Obama’s robust total, surpassing the campaign’s $55 million goal, reflects the continued effectiveness of his campaign money machine, and the advantages of incumbency to help turn out cash, all despite months of sagging poll numbers and flaring economic frustration.

While Obama did not best George W. Bush’s record $50.1 million raised in the same period in 2003, he demonstrated that he retains a solid and growing base of grassroots financial support.

More than 606,000 people donated to Obama in the third quarter, including 257,000 first-time donors.  The campaign has now received contributions from nearly 1 million Americans so far this year.

“Getting to a million grassroots donors isn’t just a huge accomplishment this early in the campaign,” Obama campaign manager Jim Messina said in the email to supporters. “It’s our answer to our opponents, the press, and anyone who wants to know whether the President’s supporters have his back.”

Many of those are small donors, giving $250 or less, according to numbers provided by the Obama Campaign.  Of the 766,000 donations received in July, August and September combined, 98 percent were $250 or less, officials said.  The average donation was $56.

Obama’s $42.8 million puts him well ahead of some of his Republican rivals, who are forced to compete for cash among field of GOP donors with divided loyalties. Texas Gov. Rick Perry reported raising $17 million in the third quarter, while Texas Rep. Ron Paul raised $8 million. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has not yet released his total.”

The Big Three, Herman Cain, Mitt Romney, and Rick Perry …..Who Will Save America from Barack Hussein and His Marxists?

LAST NIGHT’S ‘DEBATE’ MEANS NOTHING – PERRY’S PLUSES ARE STILL UNDENIABLE

by Kyle Anne Shiver   at   Pajamas Media

“Can we even call what went down at Dartmouth last night a debate? Not in my book. But even so, the word is out that Governor Rick Perry is dead in the water after last night’s “debate” and the reason is that he is a rotten “debater” and can’t translate the Texas economic miracle into greater American lingo-ese.

Perry couldn’t win American Idol, that’s for sure.

But I still think writing off the governor of the most successful state in the union is a mistake Americans might not be able to afford at this point.

I’m old school when it comes to judging a candidate for president. Oh, I find myself getting all emotional and weak at the knees occasionally when I hear a booming speech or a tidbit of soaring, heartfelt oratory. I am, after all, female. But when it comes down to punching that ballot, I’m a real pragmatist looking for a proven track record in a sizable government of a state I admire.

And the more I read these days, Perry’s pluses are still undeniable – in spite of his falling poll numbers. Even if I take two points off Perry’s score for that Texas swagger and another five points for the debates and another ten for the sum of things he’s done against the perfectly conservative creed, that man still comes off looking like a president.

I’m forced to add in a bonus score for Perry due to the fact that by now Americans in the other 49 states are downright desperate for some Texas-brand prosperity.

And no matter how one chooses to slice, dice, or puree Perry’s record, one does not become the longest-serving governor of the second largest and most populous state in the union by happenstance. Perry isn’t the only Texan responsible for the Texas economic “miracle,” but to deny him a large chunk of the credit for such exemplary success in such extraordinarily bad times seems quite stupid.

The evidence of Perry’s economic prowess is clearly on display every time another analyst compares the liberal-utopian state, California, to the conservative-crown-jewel, Texas. California, once the ubiquitously acknowledged “Golden State,” has become the most tarnished bit of junk metal in the entire country. Meanwhile, Texas creates more economic gold for all her citizens every time the conservative legislature and their polished-cowboy governor put their heads together.

At this precipitous moment in history, California’s Marxist-utopia sinks daily into the sandpit of fiddle-playing frivolity, while Texans try to figure out how to expand their ever-growing largess and protect their success from the strong-arm of the insatiable federal government.

Mark Hemingway, writing for the Washington Times earlier this year, did a five-part series comparing and contrasting the two largest state economies in the U.S.: California and Texas. Hemingway contends – and anyone with an ounce of Econ 101 common sense would agree – that California and Texas cogently demonstrate the devastating economic results of over-regulation and public-purse profligacy vs. the prosperity of the low-tax, more minimally regulating, frugal small government.

Noting that in most of the salient particulars — diverse economies, large urban areas, a border with Mexico, and similar demographic make-up, with Hispanics a third of the population – California and Texas are almost identical, Hemingway then goes to meticulous analysis of the vast differences in terms of quality of life, economic opportunity, and prosperity between the two.

California is facing budget shortfalls in excess of $20 billion each year for the next five years, and acquires $25 million in new debt each day. “We’ve been living in fantasy land. It is much worse than I thought. I’m shocked,” then California Gov.-elect Jerry Brown, D, told the Los Angeles Times.

By contrast, when Perry, R-Texas, campaigned successfully for a third term this year, he ran ads touting the fact that his state has billions in surplus. In fact, Texas was one of only six states that did not run a budget deficit in 2009.

Businessman and former presidential contender Steve Forbes seems to think the way I do about Perry. Forbes appeared on the Daily Ticker September 20 and was asked to handicap the race. “I think at the end of the day, Perry will win the nomination. And I think he’ll win the election,” Forbes said. At that time, Perry was leading the field and enthusiasm for his candidacy was running high, but many columns had already been written attacking Perry’s Christian faith, his short-lived HPV vaccine mandate, and his maneuvers to get businesses to bring their jobs to Texas. Perry had yet to bomb a debate performance with his extreme stage anxiety. Nor had he badly expounded upon the Texan way of dealing with the feds’ refusal to enforce immigration law at border-state expense.

Nevertheless, Forbes is no economic rookie without a clue as to a candidate’s performance record and Perry’s record was the focus of Forbes’ support:

Interviewer:  Perry obviously appeals to the far-right. There’s a lot of religion and everything else involved with that. Will he get enough independent voters to get elected?

Forbes:  I think so. Partly because of his record as governor which was a very pragmatic but pro-growth record, real TORT reform that sent all the trial lawyers into Okalhoma with the reforms he put in, avoided tax increases and things like that…Perry’s criticism of the Federal Reserve is right on. He’s for tax simplification and certainly no blowout on spending. So, in terms of the issues that matter most to people, he’s going to be a winner.

There’s no word that I can find today of Forbes formally endorsing Perry, but in spite of poor “debate” performances and vicious attacks on his phrasing by other candidates, nothing in the governor’s record has changed one iota since the day Forbes issues these remarks.

Texas is more than an economic laboratory for the nation; it’s also a racial diversity laboratory. The state of Texas 2010 census data show that non-Hispanic whites make up only 45.3% of the Texas population and that Hispanics of any race make up 37.6%, with blacks at 11.8%. The largest reported ancestry group in Texas is Mexican, with 25.3% of citizens claiming Mexico as their family-tree root.

It simply cannot be denied that the United States is in a state of racial demographics change that will have a far-reaching electoral impact. The Republican Party has lagged in its appeal to Hispanic voters, but Rick Perry has no such problem. Writing in this month’s Newsmax magazine, author John Fund reported that Perry “has a track record of successfully appealing to Hispanics.” In fact, according to Fund, exit polls in the 2010 Texas governor’s race showed that Perry won 38% of the Hispanic vote. Don’t Republicans want a candidate with cross-cultural appeal?

Perry did not accomplish this feat by being soft on illegal immigration, as has been charged by other Republican candidates and conservative pundits.

Yes, pragmatic Texans, under Perry’s leadership, have allowed the children of illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition at public universities in order to help educate, rather than punish, those children whose parents broke the law to get here. But, as Fund notes, Perry “opposed creating any easier path to citizenship for such children.” That “easier path to citizenship” would make it a “dream act,” but it’s no such thing. And it’s intellectually dishonest and opportunistic for rival candidates to tar Perry with that easy-on-illegals brush.

Perry has also taken a valiant stand to ban sanctuary cities, where local officials refuse to enforce federal immigration laws. I, for one, applaud Perry and the state of Texas for their pragmatic approach to the nemesis of border control in a fashion that does not completely alienate more than a third of its citizenry.

All in all, perhaps Perry’s candidacy cannot recover from what everybody who is anybody has deemed his horrible “debate” performances. But if that’s the case, then America may be a lost cause. If civics has so completely succumbed to sound-bite gotcha fests that the only thing that matters in elections is how one does in American Idol politicking, then there’s no point in establishing a real record of governance or in business or anything else for that matter.

It seems to me that this over-reliance on podium-speak and media-blitz and branding claptrap is what got us our President Obama.

A man’s record ought to speak louder than words. The only question now with Rick Perry’s candidacy is, will his record speak up for him? Or not? 

Comment:  I also do not count Governor Perry dead in this battle.   I have had my super favorite…..Chris Christie decline…..My intellectual favorite……Paul Ryan decline, leaving Herman Cain and Mitt Romney leading in the race for the Republican nomination.

The primary American task should be to dethrone Marxist Barack Hussein Obama with a solid conservative who can articulate and persuade America of our nation’s superior values both in practice and in the ideal and help us return the nation  to health,  fiscal, spiritual, ethical, and mental. 

Mr. Obama is a skilled spokesman for the untrue and a graduate of 22 years of hate America religion preached by Jeremiah “Hate America” Wright in Chicago.   No president in American history has been more anti-American than Barack Hussein Obama,  with the possible exception of Jefferson Davis in some folks’ thinking.   In Bill Clintonese, it depends upon what one means by “America”.

Last month I was impressed with the ten year record of Rick Perry as Governor of Texas.   I understood that he had poor debate skills, but was well liked and loaded with charm.   I have been strongly critical of these circuses of the past several weeks pitting bulldog against bulldog for thirty second bites to see who is most  qualify  for the American presidency, but with Perry’s weakening in the polls, I have changed my mind.    They may be good training to battle the disingenuous Obama.

I don’t think Mr. Perry can out-verb Obama “the glib and deceiver” in one on one  television events of shallow examinations.  I think Obama shrewd, but undereducated and easily distracted by a much better prepared AMERICAN…..someone who can tell an AMERICAN story by someone with an authentic AMERICAN story to tell and can tell it honestly with warmth.  

Mr. Perry is a good man with a true rags to riches American background.  He seems personally warm and friendly.

Mr. Obama has no warmth.  On the contrary, he is unfriendly and cold.    He has no love for America.   There is absolutely nothing Christian about him.  He has no story to tell that is personally admirable…..pitiable, perhaps, but not admirable.   He has no friends….no honest record…..no accomplishments……but he wears clothes well, pronounces proper English in front of white crowds, and pumps gas into the engines of black racism,  feminists, gays and any other victimhood populations the Marxist Democrats can concoct.

He has been a man of the shadows.   It is the ignorance of America upon which he relies…..and so he feeds the frenzy of the ignorant.

I actually think the BEST AMERICAN to defeat this Obama is Herman Cain.   He loves his country and can tell why.  He is bright and very likeable.  

 I do not wish to short change Mitt Romney suggesting he isn’t a conservative or real Ameircan…..He is a Mormon-American from a blue blood background…..Nice looking, sharp, quick minded, but seems rehearsed……and rehearsed by advisors whom I did not like by their apparent advice in 2008 and I have not liked yet this round of Romney’s political life.   

I happen to think Mr. Romney is  a very fine man…….and a calculating one, if not by nature, by advisor.  I seldom favor such folks.  I, and many Americans don’t trust their conservative devotions and fear Romney  won’t articulate them to the country once he is elected.  But I think he knows full well our America is in trouble.   He is probably the best qualified man for the presidency.   The office  may be a perfect fit for Mr. Romney.

 He is bright and quick thinking……and perhaps clever in calculating what Obama is up to  in the most important election in our American history……November,2012.

Marxist Obama, the disuniter, the racist  antiAmerican must be defeated if America is to remain a nation based on liberty, honorable achievement in the pursuit of happiness, and a trust in God.
