51. Obama: Do as I say, not as I do – Jan. 21, 2009 – KOA Radio reports David Axelrod says Obama likes to be warm and keeps the oval office so hot you could grow tropical plants in there! Odd, considering On May 19, 2008, Obama chided Americans that it is wrong for them to keep their thermostats on 72 degrees and stated, “That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen.”
    
52. Obama Executive Orders Scandal – Jan. 22, 2009 – Obama demonstrates he’s not ready for prime time as he signs executive orders, but has to ask his attorney what they actually say! How can you, in good faith, sign an executive order when you don’t know what it says!! Greg Craig had to help the President. Remember when they said Bush was too dumb to be president and Dick Cheney was actually doing the work? Maybe President Obama is too dumb & Greg Craig is actually doing the work!
53. Obama’s Secretary of State Unconstitutional? Appointment Scandal #10 – Jan. 22, 2009 -With no objections from wimpy republicans, HIllary Rodham Clinton is sworn in as Sec. of State.  Her senate vote increasing the pay for the Sec. of State made her ineligible for the position according to Article 1 Section 6 of the US Constitution.
54. Obama Lobbyist Scandal # 1 William Lynn – Jan. 22, 2009 – A US Senate committee puts the nomination of William Lynn to be deputy defense secretary on hold. It seems he breaks the brand new Obama Administration Rules just set up the day before! Obama promised no former lobbyists would serve in his administration. That would rule Lynn out. Obama’s press team says rules are made to be broken! UPDATE: Obama administration says it’s in “the public interest” to grant Lynn a waiver!!! So all the other lobbyists hired in the past were hired against “the public interest???” UPDATE: Lynn gets approval without any trouble 2/11/9.
55. Obama Lobbyist Scandal # 2 William Corr – Again, Obama breaks his brand new no lobbyist rules! Twice in one week! This time it is with the naming of lobbyist William Corr to be Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services. So much for “higher standards” for Team Obama. “When I am president, they [lobbyists] won’t find a job in my White House.”
56. Obama Terrorist Scandal # 3 – Talk with Terror – Obama makes a big mistake in granting his first post-inauguration TV interview to Al-Arabiya (not a US network!) and says America must stop “dictating” to others.
57. NEW! Obama Appointment Scandal # 11! James Steinberg – Obama’s pick for deputy sec. of state rewrites the Constitution saying in written testimony that Americans have a free speech right to tax-payer funded abortion!  LifeNews: Steinberg claims Congress cannot constitutionally restrict taxpayer funding to perform or promote abortions. He says the Mexico City policy, which Obama rescinded “is an unnecessary restriction that, if applied to organizations based in this country, would be an unconstitutional limitation on free speech.”
58. Obama Lobbyist Scandal # 3 Mark Patterson – And Again, President B-Rock breaks his own no lobbyist rule. No big deal, rules schmules after all. This time it is with yet another waiver and the appointment of Goldman Sachs Lobbyist Mark Patterson, named to be number 2 under Tim the Tax Cheat Geithner at the Treasury. Obama again demonstrates what a lousy judge of character he is in picking a tax cheat & lobbyist with conflicts of interest to head the treasury.
59. Obama Tax Cheat Scandal # 2 (& Appointment Scandal #12) Tom Daschle – The theme to this list: Barack does a lousy job of picking friends. AP reports former US Senator Tom Daschle, picked by Obama to lead health reform, “recently filed amended tax returns to report $128,203 in back taxes and $11,964 in interest.” Hey, it was okay for Geithner, so it’s okay for Daschle. Chicago-Style Democrat Senator Dick Durbin says Daschle “lost an election ending his public career…he went out in the private sector, and now he’s found himself having made a mistake and admitted to it. He took the steps necessary to start paying the taxes, make sure they’re paid. Now, that’s the right thing to do.” I doubt Durbin would say that about a republican! UPDATE 2/20/9: I was right. Durbin kept quiet about taxes Palin owes after laws were changed to hurt her. UPDATE 2/3/9: “President Obama admitted he made a “mistake” in his handling of Daschle’s Cabinet nomination, telling FOX News he takes full responsibility for a process that ended in Daschle withdrawing. “I consider this a mistake on my part, one that I intend to fix and correct and make sure that we’re not screwing up again,” Obama said.
60. Obama Comedian Gaffe #1 – Democrat Matt Lauer tells Obama singer Jessica Simpson has replaced him on the cover of US magazine.  Obama jokes that she is “losing a weight battle, apparently.” Not very funny and not a very nice, or presidential thing to do.
61. Obama Family Scandal #4 – George Obama, the President’s half-brother who lives in a shack and earns $1 a day in Kenya, was arrested for having marijuana on Jan. 30th, 2009. This is the man Obama has done nothing to help even though he preaches (like during his acceptance speech) about caring for your brother. Interesting how the press can say this is Obama’s “HALF” brother, but they can’t say Obama is “HALF” black.
62. Obama Tax Cheat Scandal # 3 (And Appointment Scandal #13) Nancy Killefer – This is ridiculous. The USA has elected an unqualified man with incredibly poor judgment as our President. You’d think after the first two tax-cheats he wanted to hire caused so much trouble, he might learn his lesson. Nope. Fox News reports “the administration had refused to answer how its choice [Nancy Killefer] to make government workers more efficient and more responsive had bungled her household payroll taxes.” She took herself out of the running for Obama’s newly created “Chief Performance Officer” position. She failed for 18-months to pay employment taxes on household help.
63. Obama Appointment Scandal # 14! David Playboy Ogden – Obama’s pick for deputy attorney general, David Ogden, gets blasted by Fidelis for his risque legal work for Playboy and others Fox News calls “purveyors of nudity.” Ogden represented Playboy and prevented a federal court from releasing a list of distributors of what some said was pornographic material. From Tax Cheats to Porn Defenders, this Obama guy has a talent for picking the winners, eh?
64. Obama Tax Cheat Scandal # 4 (And Appointment Scandal #15) Hilda Solis’ Family – Obama tells press he has “learned” you can’t have “two sets of standards.” He just learned that??!! Despite that nonsense, yet another tax scandal has popped up for the Obamanator. This guy has only been in office 16 days! Seems the husband of Obama’s nominee for US Labor Secretary, Hilda Solis, has more than ,600 in tax liens on his auto repair business. Obama spokespal says they won’t punish her for her husband’s mistakes. UPDATE: KOA Radio reports Solis made her own mistake when she lobbied for herself as a member of Congress, violating House ethics rules.
65. Obama Appointment Scandal # 16 Shauna Daly – President Obama misuses his power, appointing a 29-year old “Partisan Dirt Digger” as a White House Counsel Research Director, another new position he added despite the tough economy. The Washington Times has an exclusive story about Shauna Daly: “Though she is inside one of the most powerful legal offices, Miss Daly holds no law degree and doesn’t list any legal training on her resume. Her sole experience has been as an opposition researcher for Democratic political campaigns: She helped dig up dirt on rivals”. The move indicates an intention to use the White House Counsel’s office to keep Obama in power by digging up more dirt on Sarah Palin and any other potential threats to his 2012 campaign.
66. Obama’s RV Lie at first Press Conference – In his first prime time press conference, President Obama lied to the American people. He said, “There are people right now with good credit who can’t get loans to buy an RV.” He used the recreational vehicle example after being in Elkhart, IN where many are made. The statement is completely false. There are about 11,000 banks in the USA and 7,000-to-9,000 have no financial problems at all, and even make money. These banks have money to loan to people with good credit and a good down payment. It is a lie to say that people with good credit cannot get a loan to buy an RV and help the people in Elkhart.
67. Obama’s Broken Tax Promise # 1 -Within days of taking office, Obama breaks promise not to raise any taxes on those making less than 0,000 a year! Obama approves tax hike of 61-cents a pack on cigarettes after saying as a candidate: “I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than 0,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.” UPDATE: 2/24/9: Obama repeats the lie saying those who make less than 0,000 will not pay higher taxes, “Not one Dime!” UPDATE 3/5/9: Obama’s budget raises 45% of its revenue from energy taxes that will be paid by everyone who fills a gas tank, pays an electric bill, or buys anything that was grown, shipped, or manufactured. UPDATE 3/24/9: Neil Cavuto on Fox reported Obama’s budget raises taxes on those making above $209,000.
68. Obama Becomes 3rd Bush Term! -As we have posted, President Obama seems to be the 3rd Bush Term he warned us McCain would be! Alternet reports: “the Obama administration has now taken action, and it’s appalling. He’s backed the Bush administration claim that terror suspects held at Bagram Air Force base in Afghanistan have no constitutional rights.” And that’s what the democrats think of him!!
69. Obama Appointment Scandal # 17 Judd Gregg -The President’s 2nd choice for Commerce Secretary also drops out saying the differences he had with Obama on the Deficit Stimulus Plan and the power-grab over the Census were the things that made him change his mind. Obama calls the news “something of a surprise.” It’s one of many appointment scandals, Mr. President. How can it be a surprise?? His 5th appointment screw-up since promising not to screw up again!
70. Obama Steals The Census -As Obama tries to test the waters to see how much power he can steal in violation of the US Constitution, his trial balloon about moving the control of the census into the White House is creating yet another scandal in his first month in office. Fox News reports: “Congressional Republicans say they’ll go to court against President Obama if he doesn’t scuttle his plan to move the census into the purview of the Oval Office. But the administration says there is no such plan, even after apparently (and privately) assuring some Democratic members of Congress that there is. Statements issued by the White House have seemingly backed both points of view.” Gosh, that’s surprising (not). UPDATE 3/18/9: Obama’s ACORN community organizers will be recruiting the workers for the 2010 census! So the democrat party’s ACORN, plagued with voter fraud problems already, will run a “fair” census???
71. Obama Sneaks Money to ACORN -Republican John Boehner reveals Obama sneaks money into the Deficit Stimulus Plan for his democrat partisan pals at ACORN for neighborhood “stabilization” (creating more democrat voters makes a neighborhood more “stable” I guess)
72. Obama’s “Unprecedented Transparency” Lies: 7 Broken Promises! -Extremist Radical President Obama promises unprecedented transparency in his new administration…while at the same time hiding the contents of the Obama Debt Stimulus Plan from the public. After promising at least 48 hours for everyone to see the text of the bill, it is rammed through the House and Senate in secrecy within a few short hours. This President makes a practice of saying one thing and doing another.
73. Sweetness & Light reports along with the failure to make government transparent six other promises were broken: …first, he said it would be “impossible” for congressmen to slip in pork projects,
74. …said meetings where laws are written will be more open to the public,
75. …said there would be no more secrecy (republicans didn’t even get to see the bill!),UPDATE: 2/25/9: Obama’s staff requires secrecy oaths on defense budget team.
76. …promised public would have 5 days to look at the bill,
77. …assured us “you’ll know what’s in it,”
78. …and “we will put every pork-barrel project online. You can watch him make the 7 promises:
     

79. The Obama Corporate Jet Hypocrisy -Socialist President Obama spends the week spewing the evils of corporate jets used by overpaid execs, only to arrange a special jet ride for one US Senator to vote on his Porkulus bill! The Obama Administration learned Ohio Democrat Senator Sherrod Brown could not make it back to D.C. to vote because there were no seats available on commercial airlines.  While execs can’t use those evil corporate Cessna Jets because they are on the public dollar, seems it’s okay for Obama The Hypocrite to arrange special plane rides for his pals ALSO on the public dollar. This president is a joke. UPDATE: 2/10/9 Fox reports Obama’s head of the National Economic Council, Larry Summers, flew on Citigroup’s corporate jet from the Democratic National Convention in Denver back to New York last year. UPDATE: 2/24/9 Repeats his promise to kill the evil corporate jet. UPDATE: 3/10/9 Judicial Watch says Nancy Pelosi is abusing her private military jet and using the Air force as a private airline. Fox reported more democrat hypocrisy saying Pelosi aide Kay King emailed the air force to complain about the types of planes they were allowing her to use: “It is my understanding there are NO G5s available for the House during the Memorial Day recess. This is totally unacceptable … The Speaker will want to know where the planes are.”
80. Obama’s Chief of Staff an Illegal Renter! –Gawker.com reports Rahm Emanuel is renting a basement from congresswoman Rosa DeLauro.  A zoning administrator says the house is listed as “single family” and can’t be rented out.
81. Obama’s Free House Scandal -At a Socialist Town Hall, Obama takes a question from Henrietta Hughes who say she is homeless and needs a house. Big Hollywood reports, “The next day the media was full of reports Hughes had a house. Another miracle by Saint Barack! See, it’s working! Now if you greedy, nasty conservatives would just get on board, the singing of “We Are the World” could begin! But wait, it wasn’t Saint Barack or even the Blessed Michelle who got the house for Ms. Hughes. It wasn’t the government bureaucrat or stimulus package that found the house for these poor folks, either. No, it was a nice lady named Chene Thompson, and who is Chene Thompson? Is she a “progressive” who cares about her fellow Americans? Is she a Hollywood celebrity? Is she even a Democrat? No. Mrs. Thompson is the wife of a Republican State Representative.” The press left that part of the story out so the Obamanator could part the seas.
82. Obama’s Troop Surge Hypocrisy -Candidate Barack Obama was very vocal about how awful troop surges were. He stood firm in demanding the Bush surge was a mistake and only admitted to Katie Couric that surges actually worked after a good deal of badgering by her. Now, that he isn’t playing politics on TV anymore and actually has the job (wonder if he realizes that yet?), he has suddenly changed his tune! The Obama Troop Surge in Afghanistan suddenly is a good idea! The MSM aren’t even talking about this. UPDATE 2/20/9: Fox News followed our lead and did start talking about it!
83. Obama’s Mileage Tax Super Fast Flip Flop -On Feb. 20, 2009 Obama transportation secretary Ray LaHood suggests motorists be taxed based on how many miles they drive. Fox news reports that mere moments later, his own spokeswoman Lori Irving shot the idea out of the sky. “The policy of taxing motorists based on how many miles they have traveled is not and will not be Obama administration policy.” Who is running this show? Obama, LaHood or Irving? You’re still not safe to drive though as some states are considering this tax!
84. Obama’s “Distractions” Lie – Obama has denounced “distractions that keep everyone from focusing on significant issues.” The Weekly Standard says Obama orders distractions for his own political gain: “but his White House aides cause a huge controversy by calling Rush Limbaugh the leader of the Republican party.”
85. Obama Broken Promise on Iraq War # 2 – Team Obama says it will remove troops from the battlefields in Iraq by August of 2010, 3 months later than his promised 16-month withdrawal of all troops.  That broken promise could cost 100 lives.  The new Obama word is that we won’t leave completely until 2011 sometime.  That’s two to three years later than his promised “get out now” by the end of 2008 campaign talk. “The days of our open-ended commitment must come to a close,” he told the Senate, according to a Jan. 31, 2007, Washington Post article.
86. Obama Energy Lie # 1 – Barack tells a joint session of congress “we will double this nation’s supply of renewable energy” in 3 years so 16.8% of our energy comes from hydro, solar and wind by 2012. Fox reports: “Under the status quo, the Energy Department says, it will take more than two decades to boost that figure to [just] 12.5 percent.”
87. Obama Energy Lie # 2 -B. Hugo Obama says “we import more oil today than ever before.” Fox says that isn’t true: “Oil imports peaked in 2005 at just over 5 billion barrels, and have been declining slightly since. The figure in 2007 was 4.9 billion barrels, or about 58 percent of total consumption. The nation is on pace this year to import 4.7 billion barrels, and government projections are for imports to hold steady or decrease a bit over the next two decades.” & Tell your friends we get most of our oil from Canada (it’s true!).
88. Obama Energy Lie # 3 -President Obama: “We have known for decades that our survival depends on finding new sources of energy.”  Really?  Our entire survival depends on this one thing?  Are you sure? And we have known this for decades?  Maybe we should drill here, drill now.
89. Obama Questionable History – Obama promises to save the United Auto Workers Union, “the nation that invented the automobile cannot walk away from it.”  Many question that version of history saying Karl Benz of Germany invented the automobile in roughly 1885.
90. Obama’s Broken Tax Promise # 2 – Obama told congress he lived up to his promise to give a tax cut to 95% of all Americans.  That’s a lie and a broken promise and he knows it. 40% of all Americans don’t make enough money to pay any federal income tax at all.  That means even a tax cut for everyone else would only be a tax cut for 60% of Americans.  What he actually did was use your tax dollars to provide a welfare check to the 40% by giving them $13 a week in their paycheck starting in April.  If his math is right, another 55% of Americans actually will get that whopping $13 tax cut and the rest of us are screwed.
91. Obama’s Big Government Lie – “Not because I believe in bigger government — I don’t.” (2/24/09) The next day he proposed a budget with the biggest increase in the size of government ever!
92. Obama’s Wall Street Executive Lie KOA Radio reports along with energy, tax and big government lies, he had other false statements like,…claiming he would never help “a single Wall Street executive” even though his bailouts did precisely that,
93. Obama’s Healthcare Spending Lie …and in a bizarre statement, he claimed using tax dollars to create a socialist medicine program would reduce the deficit (he made no attempt to explain that).
94. Obama’s 3rd Pick for Commerce Broke Campaign Finance Laws (Appointment Scandal #18) -Gary Locke was “fined a maximum ,500 by state regulators after it admitted breaking campaign finance laws during two out-of-state fundraisers in 1996.” Even Obama jokes about his appointments: “I’m sure it’s not lost on anyone that we’ve tried this a couple of times.” Locke was breifly implicated in the ‘96 Clinton Chinese fundraising scandal, returned some checks, and was cleared of wrong-doing.
95. Democrat Warns Obama about Constitutional Violations -2/25/9 America’s Watchtower: Democrat senator Robert Byrd, sent a letter to President Obama warning him that he is pushing the constitution’s limits in regards to Obama’s appointment of all of these “czars” to oversee issues (health reform, energy, climate change, urban issues) that are supposed to be handled by the legislative branch of the government.
96. Obama Appointment Scandal #19- Late-term abortion proponent put in charge of Health?! – In yet another poor character judgment, Obama names Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius  to be in charge of health and human services.  She’s only interested in keeping SOME Americans healthy, not all. Reports say this abortion extremist once had a reception attended by a late-term abortion provider who now faces criminal charges. She’s also the Governor who threatened not to send out state tax refunds owed to citizens.
97. Obama’s Urban Czar Pay for Play Scandal (Appointment Scandal #20) – 3/1/9  The NY Daily News I-Team reports Adolfo Carrion, Jr., the man who is President Obama’s newly minted urban czar, “pocketed thousands of dollars in campaign cash from city developers whose projects he approved or funded with taxpayers’ money.” Amazing how most of these big appointment scandals go unreported as the national press tries to help its new President.
98. Obama’s Broken Earmark Pledge – 3/1/9 No big surprise here…Peter Orszag says Obama will “sign the $410 billion spending bill despite a campaign pledge that he would reject tailored budget requests that let lawmakers send money to their home states. Orszag said Obama would move ahead and overlook the time-tested tradition that lets officials divert millions at a time to pet projects.” From Rush Limbaugh: “He declared war on earmarks in a bill that’s got 9,000 of them! (laughing)… And he said this without bursting out laughing, too.  He’s got to know when he says this, that it’s just BS.  The only difference in his words and a bag of manure…was the bag. And he knows it.” UPDATE 3/8/9: Orszag repeats promise to approve the pork and earmarks. UPDATE 3/11/9: Promise-breaker-in-Chief Obama signs the bill changing positions to say he has to be flexible on earmarks and pork!
99. Obama’s War Savings Lie – He says he’ll save .5-Trillion in 10 years by cutting back the war in Iraq (and building up the war in Afghanistan??).  For that to be true, the plan would have to have been to spend $150-billion a year through 2019…even though prior to Obama we agreed to get out of Iraq by 2011.  It’s liberal ‘new math.’
100. The Obama Lavish Corporate Parties Scandal – Team Obama and Bowney Fwank criticize lavish, evil corporate parties put on by overpaid execs, while having weekly Wednesday White House parties with rock stars and Hollywood celebs! So, while execs of bailed-out companies can’t have these evil corporate bashes in fancy hotels with Sheryl Crow because they are on the public dollar, seems it’s okay for Obama The Hypocrite to have lavish parties with Stevie Wonder for his pals ALSO on the public dollar. We foot the bill for “0/ounce wagyu steak!“

101. Obama Tax Cheat Scandal # 5 (And Appointment Scandal #21) Ron Kirk – nominated as U.S. Trade Rep, the latest Obama tax cheater owes an estimated $10,000 in back taxes from earlier in the decade. Fox says he has agreed to make his payments now so he can get the job. The trouble surrounds his claiming sports tickets as deductions and donating speaking fees while not counting the fees as income.
102. Obama Stocks Stumble – 3/3/9 “What you’re now seeing is a profit and earnings ratios get to the point that buying stocks is a good thing if you have a long-term perspective on it,” said President Obama. It is PRICE to (future) Earnings ratio, not profit to earnings. Hopefully he knows that and this was just a gaffe. After the Dow hit its lowest level in a dozen years, Obama said he is not measuring policies against “the day-to-day gyrations of the stock market.”
103. Obama Intel Guy Violates Iran Policy (Appointment Scandal #22) – World Net Daily reports: “President Obama’s nominee for a top intelligence post sits on the board of a major oil company owned by the Chinese government that is in the midst of a multibillion dollar deal with Iran which may violate U.S. sanctions.” He is Charles “Chas” Freeman, Obama’s pick for the National Intelligence (we have a shortage of that lately) Council. (Thanks to Conservative American Steve for this idea!) UPDATE 3/10/9: After also getting blasted for comments he made about Israel & Iraq, Freeman takes himself out of the running.
104. Obama Bankruptcy Lie – ABCDEmocrat News: Obama kicks off his health care reform 3/5/9  with a mischaracterization of data. “The cost of health care now causes a bankruptcy in America every thirty seconds.” Simply unsupportable. The figure comes from a 2005 Harvard study saying that 54 percent of bankruptcies in 2001 were caused by health expenses. ABCDEmocrat News reviewed it and knocked it down. A more recent study, indicates in 2007 about eight-tenths of one percent of Americans lived in families that filed for bankruptcy as a result of medical costs. That rings a little less loudly than “one every 30 seconds.”
105. Obama Appointment Scandal #24 – Dr. Gupta – 3/5/9 Apparently worried about being forever tied to creating socialist healthcare in American, CNN’s Democrat Celebri-Doc, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, withdraws from consideration for Surgeon General.  Another embarrassment for Team Obama.
106. Obama Tax Cheat Scandal # 6 (And Appointment Scandal #23) Caroline Atkinson – nominated for Undersecretary for International Affairs, Atkinson is told to withdraw because of a “tax problem.” ABCDEmocrat News’ George Step-in-a-lot-of-it tries to spin the Obama failures to pick good people into a positive by saying, “dozens of candidates…have been forced to pull out because they couldn’t meet…Obama’s ethics standards!” That’s because he doesn’t have any!
107. Hillary Doesn’t Understand 2-Party System – 3/6/9 Reuters reports Obama’s Sec. of State told the European Union: “I have never understood multiparty democracy. It is hard enough with two parties to come to any resolution, and I say this very respectfully, because I feel the same way about our own democracy, which has been around a lot longer than European democracy.” With Bush, the Reuters story would have been that he was stupid to say this.  With Clinton however, Reuters says she was just “tired!”
108. Obama Breaks $3,000 Promise – The St. Petersburg Times says Obama promised a ,000 tax credit for businesses that add an employee. His stimulus bill did not include the idea and it appears to be dead. It never got support in Congress, even from Democrats. Lawmakers were concerned the credit wasn’t enough of an incentive. Tax policy analysts said the credit would be an administrative nightmare.
109. Obama Lobbyist Scandal # 5 Jocelyn Frye – And Again a lobbyist for the no-lobbyists Team Obama.  Jocelyn Frye got a waiver to be a “senior official” to First Lady, Michaelle Obama.
110. Obama Lobbyist Scandal # 6 Cecilia Munoz – Another Lobbyist for the still-no-lobbyists Obama Administration. Cecilia Munoz got a waiver to be director of governmental affairs.  And with how many affairs these politicians have, she likely will be busy. (Oh, C’mon….that was too funny!).
111. Obama Appointment Scandal #24 Annette Nazareth – ABCDEmocrat News reports about 3/5/9 that Obama’s pick for Deputy Treasury Secretary is forced to withdraw after “senators made it clear she would face tough questioning over her time at the Securities and Exchange Commission — tenure that overlapped with the agency’s failure to catch Bernie Madoff.“
112. Obama Transparency Lie on Bank Bailouts – Another lie from Barack Obama.  Remember the bit about being transparent?  Tim the Tax Cheat Geithner and Ben the Fed Reserve Chair Bernanke both refuse to tell the American people which banks got bailout money and how much was paid for assets.  They say that would be too hard!  Melanie Sloan from Citizens for Responsibility & Ethics in Washington told Fox News: “It’s taxpayer dollars, and we as taxpayers then have a right to know where that money is going,” she said. “And I just can’t understand why there should be any secrecy about that.”
113. Obama School Voucher Flip Flop – “Let’s see if the [school voucher] experiment works,” Obama said. “And if it does, whatever my preconception, you do what’s best for kids.” Yet by signing the $410-billion omnibus porkulus bill, 1,700 low-income D.C. youth who currently receive up to $7,500 a year for education that is working at private schools will have to enroll in a public school in 2010.  Most of the poor kids Obama kicks out, even though the vouchers are working, are black Americans.
114. Obama’s Line by Line Lie – White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs admitted President Obama lied.  Gibbs told reporters the President did not go through the omnibus spending bill line by line.  During the campaign, Obama promised to review every bill “page by page, line by line!” to get rid of pork.
115. Obama’s Homeland Security Chief Gets it Wrong – American Chronicle: Incredibly, Janet Napolitano downplayed the danger the drug cartels pose to the United States. She told legislators that the violence perpetrated by the cartels in Mexico has yet to make its way into this country.
116. Obama’s Biggest Lie Yet: The Economy Lie -His Lie: “I’ve never bought into these Malthusian, woe, Chicken Little, the earth is falling. I tend to be pretty optimistic.”
     This from the guy who said “economic catastrophe,” “might not ever recover,” “unable to reverse,” “create a negative spiral,” “Could become dramatically worse,” “Economic crisis could linger for years,” and on and on.  We have been Leading the way Right on this story.
117. Obama’s “Fundamentally Sound” Economy Flip-flop -After making fun of John McCain for saying the fundamentals of the economy were sound during the campaign, and now that the economy is much worse, the Obama Pancake House now says the fundamentals are strong!  As Obama said in his own TV ad, how can this guy lead when he doesn’t even know there is a problem?
118. Obama Appointment Scandal #25 John Deutch – Ronald Kessler at Newsmax: Deutch is on an advisory panel on spy satellites, violating Obama’s pledge to hold everyone in his administration to the highest ethical standards. Deutch ran the CIA for a short time & agreed in 2001 to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents. President Clinton pardoned him as he left office. “Deutch essentially walked away from what is one of the most egregious cases of mishandling of classified information that I have ever seen, short of espionage,” Sen. Richard C. Shelby, R-Ala.
119. Obama Appointment Scandal #26 H. Rodgin Cohen – ABCDEmocrat News reports 3/12/9 H. Rodgin Cohen, a NY Lawyer, was removed from consideration for Deputy Treasury Secretary after “issues arose” in the final stages of the vetting process. You mean they actually have a vetting process?!
120. Obama’s Foreign Car Drivers Blunder – Obama appoints a bunch of people to a Car Czar committee and 16 of the 18 don’t even drive American cars!
121. Obama’s VP Mixed up with Financial Fraud Scheme – A firm controlled by rogue financier Allen Stanford, marketed a fund managed by Vice-president Joe Biden’s sons, Hunter and James. The million fund was jointly branded between the Bidens’ Paradigm Global Advisors and a Stanford Financial Group entity, mixed up in an -billion fraud case.
122. Obama Broken AIG Executive Pay Pledge – In February, the President promised to crack down on executive pay for companies that take “exceptional” amounts of socialist bailout money.  AIG has taken $170-billion and has another $30-billion on the way from Team Obama.  Yet the President broke his pledge and did nothing to stop 73 AIG execs from taking home bonuses of between $1-and-$6.4-million bucks each!
123. Obama’s Health Tax Flip Flop -3/14/9 Candidate Obama on a televised debate: “For the first time in American history, he wants to tax your health benefits. Apparently, Senator McCain doesn’t think it’s enough that your health premiums have doubled. He thinks you should have to pay taxes on them too.” NY Times 3/14/9: “The Obama administration is signaling to Congress that the president could support taxing some employee health benefits.”
124. Obama Thanks Himself Stumble – John Romano at Big Hollywood: Video of the event with Obama and Brian Cowen has not been released…(it) shows Obama oftentimes has no idea what is on that teleprompter before he reads it and therefore, as he did on St. Patrick’s Day, ends up doing things like thanking himself for inviting everyone to the White House!  An endearing gaffe between two national leaders? Or President Obama sincerely thanking President Obama for inviting everyone to the White House?  The fact that the video has been suppressed may be very telling.
125. Obama Appointment Scandal #28 – David Hamilton – Obama’s first judicial appointment to the 7th circuit US Court of Appeals, (a former ACORN volunteer) Hamilton In 2003 struck down part of an Indiana law requiring abortion clinics to give women information about alternatives to abortion in the presence of a physician or nurse. God forbid! What kind of society would give them “alternatives?!” The information had to be given to women 18 hours before the procedure, requiring them to make two visits to the doctor’s office to obtain the procedure. The Hamilton Pro-Abortion decision was  overturned on appeal. In 2005, the former ACLU Board member ruled the daily invocation at the Indiana House too often referred to Jesus Christ and a Christian god, in violation of the Constitution, which forbids the government to show preference for any religious denomination. That Hamilton decision also was overturned on appeal. Obama said next time (it’s always next time with him), he will talk with republicans first because he wants to “put the confirmation wars behind us.”  The ‘wars’ are the ones Obama took part in when he voted against John Roberts and Samuel Alito.
126. Obama Appointment Scandal #29 – Vivek Kundra – Business Insider: America’s CIO Vivek Kundra, “a man we [Buinsess Insider] called on to resign this morning, is back on the job.”  Vivek is part of an ongoing FBI investigation into financial kickbacks at his old offices.” FBI arrests two of Kundra’s co-workers.
127. Obama Comedian Gaffe # 2: Makes Fun of Special Olympians – Obama tells Jay Leno on the Tonight Show that he bowled a low 129 and laughed “It was like the Special Olympics or something.” Not funny to special olympians who work hard, train hard and compete to the best of their abilities.  The distasteful joke is the latest blunder for the President who can’t speak without his teleprompter.  Fox reports on what Tim Shriver, Chairman of Special Olympics said: “I think it’s important to see that words hurt and words do matter. And these words that in some respect can be seem as humiliating or a put down to people with special needs do cause pain and they do result in stereotypes.”
128. Obama Lobbyist Scandal #7 Richard Verma – Jen Demascio of the Politico reports: Obama’s pledge to prevent lobbyists from his administration from working on issues they had advocated for, is being tested again. His no lobbyist-administration says the pick for assistant secretary of state for legislative affairs, Richard Verma, would not need a waiver because he had not lobbied the State Department.  Senate records, however, indicate that Verma had lobbied the State Department.  Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor said those records were wrong and were “corrected” to exclude the State Department on Jan. 23 – two days after Obama announced his new no-lobbyist rules! Convenient.
129. Obama & Geithner’s AIG Lie – Tim the Tax Cheat Geithner and President Obama say the 2 were unaware of the extent of the AIG bonuses until March 10th, a lie. Fox Business reports emails prove the US Treasury knew about the AIG bonuses last November.  Rush Limbaugh says (see video here) a democrat congressmen asked Geithner about the bonuses on March 3rd!  So Geithner and Team Obama’s street gang knew about this at least one week earlier than they say. UPDATE 3/18/9 Obama says about AIG bonuses “I’ll take responsibility, I’m the President.” UPDATE 3/24/9: Geithner repeats his March 10th lie in front of congress, despite the video.
130. Obama Terrorist Scandal # 4 -Release them in the States! – Fox reports: Obama’s AG. Eric Let Em Go Holder says for “people who can be released there are a variety of options that we have and among them is the possibility is that we would release them into this country.” Pure lunacy.
131. Obama Terrorist Scandal # 5 -Moderate Taliban – Even the Taliban agree with our 3/8/9 post saying Obama is off his rocker for thinking there are moderate Taliban he can negotiate with. A terrorist spokesman (this is indeed a strange world) said, “I do not know why they are talking about moderate Taliban and what it means. If it means those who are not fighting and are sitting in their homes, then talking to them is meaningless. This really is surprising the Taliban.”
132. NEW! Obama Administration Seeks Unprecedented Powers over Private Industry – 3/19/9 The Charlotte Observer says Obama wants: “new powers to seize troubled companies such as AIG – and take ownership of their toxic assets – if their collapse would threaten the financial system.  His administration will propose…a “resolution authority” that would have powers similar to those of the FDIC, which can seize control of banks, take over bad assets and sell good ones.” No details (of course) on how they would pay for such a plan.
133. Team Obama Says Terror is Nothing to Fear! KOA Radio’s Gunny Bob reports “In a March 2009 interview in Der Spiegel magazine, Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano stated that in her view the appropriate term for acts of terror is not terrorism, but rather “man-caused disasters,” as the latter term “move(s) away from the politics of fear.” You see, terror isn’t really something to fear. (?)
134. Obama’s False Gas Mileage Claim -3/21/9 Obama claims: ‘The 1908 Model T — think about this — the 1908 Model T earned better gas mileage than the typical SUV in 2008… Think about that: 100 years later, and we’re getting worse gas mileage, not better, on SUVs.’ Ford says Model T’s got as low as 13 mpg while most SUV’s get 18+.
135. Obama Scandal – Selected To Give Commencement Address at Notre Dame – 3/21/9 The Cardinal Newman Society says, “It is an outrage and a scandal that ‘Our Lady’s University,’ one of the premier Catholic universities in the United States, would bestow such an honor on President Obama given his clear support for policies and laws that directly contradict fundamental Catholic teachings on life and marriage.”
136. Obama Comedian Gaffe #3: Joker-in-Chief on Economy– The President is full of laughs lately.  This time he joked and laughed during a 3/22/9 60-minutes interview with Steve Kroft about how bad the economy is!…Yeah, that’s really funny…not.  See the video of Obama laughing like a school girl here.
137. Obama Confused About Who Runs Italy -3/22/9 Pajamas Media: Obama “sent a letter to Italian President Giorgio Napolitano (a member of the now defunct Communist Party), expressing confidence that the US & Italy would work together “to overcome the current global political & economic hardships & build a safer world.”  The only problem was that the Italian president does not make policy; that power resides with the prime minister & his cabinet…instead of addressing himself to Prime Minister Silvio (Obama has a nice even Tan) Berlusconi, Obama wrote to a man who holds an almost entirely ceremonial position.
138. Obama Plays Both Sides of Economy– He says it could take a long time for the economy to improve and told the press on 3/24/9 that patience was needed. At the same time, Obama’s own budget forecasts the recession will continue through this year but with a relatively shallow 1.2 percent decline in the gross domestic product. It predicts solid growth of more than 3% each year after that.
139. Obama Pessimism and Optimism: Same Thing– 3/24/9 One moment he claims “even under the most pessimistic estimates” he will cut the budget deficit in half in 10 years and Fox Reports the next minute explaining the differences between his $2.3-Trillion predicted budget deficit projections and CBO’s $9.3-Trillion figure, Obama said his administration projects a higher growth rate.”
140. Obama’s Blue Chip Lie– 3/24/9 The president claims his optimistic budget assumptions are “perfectly consistent with what blue chip forecasters out there are saying.”  Fox News says that’s not true: “1.9% vs 1.2%. Then…growth of only 2.1% next year, instead of 3.2%, and less than 3% in each of the next 3 years, when the administration’s forecasts are for 4% or better.”
141. Obama Plans to Help Irresponsible Homeowners– The Prez claims his housing bailout helps “responsible homeowners” stay in their homes.  His team disagrees. Fed Chair Bernanke says “it means assistance will go to some who should have known better than to get in over their heads.” THe FDIC chair says its impractical to think they could examine every delinquent loan and weed out those taken by people who overstated their income or assets to get a mortgage they couldn’t afford.
142. Obama Appointment Scandal # 30 – Christopher Hill – Washington Times: “nominee for ambassador to Iraq, is a disconcerting choice…the current assistant sec. of state for East Asian & Pacific affairs, he presided over negotiations with N. Korea that deliberately minimized focus on the bleak human rights record…ignored its nuclear proliferation, & had the practical effect of affirming its nuclear weapons capability. Hill also has a troubling hotdog tendency to play by his own rules.  A letter signed by Sen. Brownback & 4 other senators notes Hill’s “evasive & unprofessional activities” including “sidelining key officials” & “breaking commitments” to Congress…in July 2005…he violated U.S. policy and express orders from superiors by meeting with N. Korean Vice Minister Kim Kye-gwan in Berlin to revive the 6-Party talks….Japanese magazine Shukan Gendai [reported]…Pyongyang is conducting back-channel diplomacy directly to the Obama White House, courtesy of Hill…worth examining…” Us: Could it be Bill Clinton? Times: “Hill, as portrayed in David Sanger’s book The Inheritance, gripes about the Bush administration…”these [expletives] don’t know how to negotiate.” He said that hard-line demarches favored by “neocons” were worse than the terms offered at Appomattox. But the inescapable fact is that N. Korea…in 2006…tested its first atom bomb. Hill’s crowning achievement was having N. Korea taken off the list of terrorist states….We [Times] wonder if Hill will speak firmly to Iran regarding Iranian weapons, training & intelligence support being used to destabilize Iraq & kill Americans, or dismiss those matters as impediments to reaching a “grand bargain” with Iran.”
143. Obama Gun Rights Flip Flop # 2 – Candidate Obama: ‘I have no intention of taking away folks’ guns.’ 2/25/9 ABC reports President Obama now says through his Attorney General Eric Let Em Go Holder, “there are just a few gun-related changes that we would like to make, and among them would be to reinstitute the ban on the sale of assault weapons”
144. Obama Appointment Scandal # 31: Joseph Cannon – 3/25/9 Obama’s pick for number two at the EPA, Joe Cannon, takes himself out of the running after reports surface that the grants made by the “America’s Clean Water Foundation,” where he was a board member, were under “scrutiny” and funds had been embezzled.
145. Obama Funds Company to Profit From Green Energy Agenda -3/25/9 Fox: Obama served as a Chicago-based Joyce Foundation board member and voted to fund a carbon trading exchange that “is likely to fill a critical role in the controversial cap-and-trade carbon reduction scheme that Obama is now trying to push rapidly through Congress” (to the dismay of 28 senators). The grants helped develop & launch the privately-owned Chicago Climate Exchange, which now calls itself “North America’s only cap and trade system for all six greenhouse gases.” So, Like Gore before him, Obama pushes green to make green. Then Joyce Foundation Prez, Paula DiPerna, now is conveniently exec. VP of the Climate Exchange.
146. Obama’s Chief of Staff Helped Ruin Economy! -3/26/9 Bankrupt Chicago Tribune: “Before its portfolio of bad loans helped trigger the current housing crisis, mortgage giant Freddie Mac was the focus of a major accounting scandal that led to a management shake-up, huge fines and scalding condemnation of passive directors by a top federal regulator. One of those allegedly asleep-at-the-switch board members was Chicago’s Rahm Emanuel —now chief of staff to (Obama) —who made at least $320,000 for a 14-month stint at Freddie Mac that required little effort. Emanuel now plays a critical role in addressing the nation’s mortgage woes.”
147. Obama’s Pakistan Lie – 3/29/9 During the campaign, Sen. Obama repeatedly said he would attack terrorists in Pakistan with or without permission from the Pakistani government. He reiterated this policy in a debate in October 2008.  On CBS’ Face the Democrat Press Nation, he now utters this lie: “I haven’t changed my approach” but goes on to say he would only go into Pakistan “after consulting with Pakistan.” A huge flip flop that Obama 2012 staffer Bob Schieffer doesn’t even ask him about.  Click here for the video and fast forward to about 2:14.
148. Obama’s GM Lie #1 – 3/30/9 President Obama: “Let me be clear. The United States government has no interest in running GM. We have no intention of running GM.” While out of the other side of his mouth he fires the GM CEO and has his own team creating a new business plan for GM.  Sounds like running the company to us!
149. Obama’s GM Lie #2 – 3/30/9 President Obama said firing the GM CEO was not a “condemnation” of Rick Wagoner.  While out of the other side of his mouth he says, “we cannot continue to excuse poor decisions,” fires the CEO, and says GM needs a new vision and direction (not Wagoner’s) to create the GM (Rush Limbaugh calls it Government Motors) of the future.
150. Obama Steals Power from Congress – 3/30/9 President Obama today took the power of the congress to decide on spending by simply announcing the government will back the warranties of both GM & Chrysler, a huge new expense.  He did so without any legislative approval, again attacking the US Constitution.
