Washington lobbied London in 2009 for permission to supply Moscow with detailed data about the performance of UK missiles. The UK refused, but the US agreed to hand over the serial numbers of Trident missiles it transfers to Britain.
Obama has done it, this time without reason
To give British secrets to Russia is treason.
He is but a fraud
Yet people applaud.
So issue subpoenas; it’s us that he pees on.
Corruption shows a familiar ring:
Immelt has friends in the White House wing
Re: Power consumption.
He got his exemption.
It helps to be friend of the King.
Obama issues global warming rules in January, gives GE an exemption in February
By: Timothey P.Carney, Washington Examiner 02/02/11 4:50 PM
Jan 2011, the Obama EPA began enforcing new rules regulating the greenhouse gas emissions from any new or expanded power plants.
A week later the EPA issued its first exemption, Environment & Energy News reports:
The Obama administration will spare a stalled power plant project in California from the newest federal limits on greenhouse gases and conventional air pollution, U.S. EPA says in a new court filing that marks a policy shift in the face of industry groups and Republicans accusing the agency of holding up construction of large industrial facilities. According to a declaration by air chief Gina McCarthy, officials reviewed EPA policies and decided it was appropriate to “grandfather” projects such as the Avenal Power Center, a proposed 600-megawatt power plant in the San Joaquin Valley, so they are exempted from rules such as new air quality standards for smog-forming nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
There’s something interesting about the Avenal Power Center The proposed Avenal Energy project will be a combined-cycle generating plant consisting of two natural gas-fired General Electric 7FA Gas Turbines with Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG) and one General Electric Steam Turbine.
Maybe GE CEO Jeff Immelt’s closeness to President Obama, and his broad support for Obama’s agenda, had nothing to do with this exemption. But we have no way of knowing that, and given the administration’s record of regularly misleading Americans regarding lobbyists, frankly, I wouldn’t trust the White House if they told me there was no connection. On the upside, at least Job Czar Immelt is creating jobs!
Obama, our President gets us in trouble.
The debt to our children is poised for a double.
“Together we thrive”,
it just does not jive.
Obama’s accomplishments? Wood, hay and stubble*.
*Quote from the King James Bible 1 Corinthians 3:11-13 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
Some thoughts on the memorial service for the victims of the Arizona tragedy Jan 2011.
Now what do you think? Does Obama have taste?
A memorial service is no time to waste.
The start of the campaign
Let’s bring out the champagne
and t-shirts, applause signs prepared in all haste.
Obama names GE CEO as head of new economic board From Michael O’Brien – 01/21/11 The
top executive at one of America’s largest corporations is taking over as head of President Obama’s outside economic advisory council.
Obama named Jeffery Immelt, the chief executive officer of General Electric (GE), as chairman of the new Council on Jobs and Competitiveness. The president announced the appointment during a Friday trip to Schenectady, N.Y., where he visited the birthplace of GE, the fourth-largest U.S. company, according to Fortune magazine. Immelt replaces Paul Volcker, the former chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, who will step down from his post as head of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, an outside panel recommending solutions on how best to boost the economy. Immelt had previously served as a member of the board, which includes prominent business and labor leaders.
Appoint Jeffrey Immelt, Barry’s old protegé.
He will do to this land what he did for GE
Run it into the ground
No new jobs to be found
But promoting this President, that’s his forté.
It’s all made in China, I know it is tough,
for they got our money and we got their stuff,
We are deeply in debt,
no trade secrets kept.
We lost our freedom to act. – Had enough?
From the Honolulu Star Advertiser: Jan 18 2011.
Interviewer: You stirred up quite a controversy with your comments regarding Birthers and your plans to release more information regarding President Barack Obama’s birth certificate. How is that coming? Gov. Neil Abercrombie: I got a letter from someone the other day who was genuinely concerned about it; it is not all just political agenda. They were talking on Olelo last night about this; it has a political implication for 2012 that we simply cannot have. (Abercrombie said there is a recording of the birth in the State Archives and he wants to use that.) It was actually written I am told, this is what our investigation is showing, it actually exists in the archives, written down … …What I can do, and all I have ever said, is that I am going to see to it as governor that I can verify to anyone who is honest about it that this is the case. If there is a political agenda then there is nothing I can do about that, nor can the president.
The long form certificate: not to be found.
The Birthers are standing on less shaky ground.
They can’t find the truth.
Now that is uncouth.
Assurances ring with a shreaking, shrill sound.
Chairman Hu came to town for a dinner of State
to check on the money we borrowed of late.
In his smile you can see
our own greenback passé.
Through the power of Yuan he will now clean our plate.
Dinner of State Jan 2011.
In a campaign speech Jun 2 2008, in all humility candidate Obama said this:
The journey will be difficult. The road will be long. I face this challenge with profound humility, and knowledge of my own limitations. But I also face it with limitless faith in the capacity of the American people. Because if we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on earth. This was the moment—this was the time—when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves and our highest ideals. Thank you, God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.
Well, what do you know? The sea levels are beginning to drop in 2010.
(1) Thank you Obama that the global temperatures are beginning to drop.
(2) Thank you Obama that the excessive heat caused by human activity are beginning to rain out in Australia and Brazil, central Europe and many other places. Thank you Obama for delaying and diminishing Solar Cycle 24, allowing record amounts of Cosmic radiation to reach the earth, giving us more clouds, rain and snow, thereby cooling the planet.
(3) Thank you Obama for protecting our land from all further development, so that our standard of living can be more in line with third world countries.
(4) Thank you Obama for your tireless efforts to usher in Global Governance through Article 21, Cap and trade legislation, giving us mercury lightbulbs that splat mercury all over the nursery when they break, working to sign the Children’s protection act, The Law of the Sea Treaty and everything else coming from the wise leadership of the United Nations.
Thank you Obama for your tireless efforts to protect a woman’s right to choose by denying Federal Funding to doctors and hospitals that have moral qualms about aborting the lives of yet to be born babies, and providing federal funding for abortions.
Again, where would we be, and what could we do without you? Could a return to abiding by constitutional principles change anything? Could reining in a multitude of czars, putting them under congressional oversight rather than giving them carte blance to implement regulation of laws that have not been read before passed prevent some of this? By doing nothing, will all this go away?
But yet, there is hope. As God says through the Prophet Jeremiah in Lamentations 3:21-23 (King James Version) 21This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. 22It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. And again, a call to action: 2 Chronicles 7:14 (King James Version) 14If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
President Obama the Most “Arrogant” Man He Ever Met
You may recall that during President Obama’s vacation at Martha’s Vineyard, on August 27 2010 he took in a round of golf at the Vineyard Golf Club in Edgartown, playing golf with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg; Democratic lawyer, business man and éminence grise Vernon Jordan; and White House trip director (and former golf pro) Marvin Nicholson. The pool report at the time said that “We are told Bloomberg and Obama talked in the clubhouse for about 15 mins about the economy. They then went to the driving range.”
Apparently – at least from a second-hand report – the Obama-Bloomberg convo could have gone better.
In an interview with The Australian Financial Review, conservative media magnate Rupert Murdoch says ”Bloomberg said it was a pleasant day. In conversation he put a few ideas … He said it was like verbal ping pong.” Bloomberg, according to Murdoch, “came back and said ‘I never met in my life such an arrogant man’.”
The Limerick:
“The most arrogant man I have ever met
is Obama” said Bloomberg and showed no regret.
For they chatted a while
without breaking a smile.
“T’was like the proverbial ping-pong set.”
