Sebelius Admits to Obamacare Double tap

Double TapFans of the movie Zombieland might understand the post title right away.  In the movie the lead protagonist, "Columbus" has a set of rules he always follows which he believes are the only reason he is still alive after the world is turned into Zombieland by a mutant strain of Mad Cow disease that turns almost everyone into crazed, flesh eating zombies.

Rule #1 is cardio.   You need to be able to run away from Zombies.

Rule # 31 is Check the back seat.  Always look to see if there is a Zombie in the back of the car before you drive away in it.

Rule # 3, beware of bathrooms.  Zombies seem to be able to sense when you are at your weakest.

Rule #18 Limber up.  Wouldn’t want to come up lame.

And Rule #2?  Double Tap.  It is not a waste of ammo to put another round into the head of a zombie to make sure they are down for the count.

So who stumbles into my metaphor but Obama Zombie and Health and Inhuman Services Minister Kathleen Sebelius.  Note to the left–no, I am not suggesting we double tap her, I am suggesting she and the democrats of the 111th congress–and all your lying or deluded selves included– have double-tapped the Taxpayers.  Sebelius has just admitted to a congressional committee that a huge chunk of money they claimed was going to offset the costs of Obamacare is the legislative-accounting equivalent of a double tap.

Obama and Jobs

President Obama says he is focusing on jobs.  Is that good or bad?  In 2009 and 2010 he said he would “focus like a laser” on jobs.  Yet we suffer from the longest high unemployment since the great depression with no end in sight.

Picture Of The Day 2-21-11

This one might require some context. Someone I went to High School with posted it on my Facebook Wall last night. (At midnight). No, I have no idea if drinking was involved. But I gather (guess is more correct) that the intention is to see if I will take it down. Surprise!

A Democrat’s Idea Of Tough Choices

Obama’s budget is out. It raises tax revenues by adding more taxes. It is reported that the deficit will increase by as much as 7 trillion dollars as a result. (That’s $7,000,000,000,000.00). It defends all the abusive spending of the past two budgets by ignoring the trillions in new spending and debt. It will set records for a third and forth consecutive trillion plus budget with record setting deficits.

Another Wheel Off The Bus

Usually the wheels come off the bus before it goes into the ditch. But here we go. Another wheel falls off the Obama bus. (Must be one of the Dr. Seuss buses, given all the wheels this thing is losing). Obamacare, the Patient Unaffordable and Un-accessible (all we really) Care (about is government power) Act will require another 800,000 Americans to give up their jobs. Put another way, it will cost 800,000 jobs.

So when are Shaheen, Ex-Porter (That’s ex congresspersonista Carol Shea-Porter) and Paul ‘Hot Dog’ Hodes going to come out and clear up the record?  They have all argued that the loss of jobs was some right wing fear mongering.

The same CBO the left swore was non-partisan when it claimed the bill would save money, then that it would cost money if we ended it, can’t suddenly be partisan can it?

Obama StoogesThese are democrats.  Of course they can.  So should we wait for the "Big Pharma, and Big Health care" bought the congressional Budget Office narratives?

And how will Obama’s Bureau Of Laboring Statistics every hide another 800,000 lost jobs?  Though they are doing a fine job with the millions they are hiding now–except from the people who are actually unemployed.

So many unanswered questions.

While you are waiting.  Here’s some video courtesy of Town Hall.com (On the jump) where the CBO admits there will be employment casualties in the war for universal coverage.  Which makes you wonder what would happen if Obama waged war on universal employment?

My bad. He’s already waging that war.

One more distraction before you jump. Queen, the Band? Song–“another one bites the dust;” change the lyrics to..”another wheel off the bus.” CArry that around in your head until November 2012. Ok. Go ahead. Watch the video. I’ll keep quiet. (for a minute)

Can You Smell The Campaign Fires?

After two years of extravagance on the taxpayer dime. Week after week of high priced parties with expensive food and high priced entertainment. Date nights that shut down cities. Frivolous trips (in his and her jetliners complete with entourage) to various parts of the globe. Vacation, after vacation, after vacation. And despite the glamor of a designer wardrobe, pimped by the adoring media for the past 24 months, we are now supposed to be impressed by this?

Pic-O-The Day Redux (WTF?)

Inspired by this mornings Picture of the Day the NH Tenth Amendment Center’s Dan Kanna, one of our on air guests from last Saturday, took to the digital palette and crafted a new and improved version for us.

Everything’s fine! Just fine! Fine! Fine!

Country’s in the best of hands! Hey! Did you see Obama’s State of the Union speech the other night? Great, wasn’t it? He really wowed ’em! (Meanwhile…back on planet Earth, from today’s Drudge Report, some headlines….) Jobless Claims…Rise Foreclosure activity up across metro areas…. Social Security now seen to run permanent deficits…  $45 billion in … Read more

More on the SOTUS tonite

While you are playing cards, courtesy of Steve, Boortz has a few things for you to consider:

Here is just part of the reality of Barack Obama as he prepares for the SOTU tonight.

  • He still dislikes the free markets and private enterprise
  • He still believes that the economy should be planned by a central government
  • He still believes that our nation is no more exceptional that, as he has said, Greece.
  • He still harbors an intense resentment toward America for what he believes to be it’s role in the colonization of Africa.
  • He still believes that America’s greatness comes from government, not from free people living and producing together under the protection of the Constitution.
  • He still believes that the Constitution is an inconvenient document
  • He is still a man who spent his childhood years being raised in cultures where American history was not part of the learning experience, or a footnote at best.
  • He still believes that the tax code should be used to seize one person’s property to give to another out of a sense of "fairness."
  • And … perhaps most importantly … Barack Obama is still a man who believes it is his mission to "Radically Transform The United States of America."
  • He is still, therefore, a radical. 

Obama’s poll numbers were getting crushed before Nov. 2 but are rising right now.  Ask yourself:

  • Is that due to the latest pronouncement from Obama and the rhetoric he has been using?
  • Has he changed his philosophical underpinnings that much solely for political reasons i.e., getting re-elected)?
  • Do you believe he means what he says (concentrating on jobs now) or is it more saying what he thinks you will believe (hopey changey)?
  • Or is it because simply because the Firewall (Republican tsunami on Nov 2) that are giving people a sense of relief?

In his speech tonite,  does it sound like:

===============================================

Thoughts on SOTUS (oldest first):

  • Empty seat – for Gabby Giffords – totally appropriate.
  • Robust debate?  Gee, didn’t he stifle a debate with the Republicans with a quick phrase "I Won"?
  • Common beliefs?  Not all that sure of that…
  • "Work together tomorrow" – consiliatory or a challenge?
  • Shared Responsibility – gee, does that mean he’s going to make a "shared sacrifice"
  • No sir, the stakes ARE in who wins the next election.
  • Progress – small biz guy growing his biz?  Such irony as they cut to Soldis, Sec. of Labor.  Reminder – the NLRB is cracking down on small biz that doesn’t want to unionize.
  • TMEW – Why is Biden’s mouth corners downturned?  Is he always mad?  Me – looks an awful lot like  Jeff Dunham (the ventriloquest) dummy – Walter
  • Oh, here we go with the "invest" word….
  • International competition – no, it is not the international competition that is scaring biz; it is their government and the unknown that it brings.
  • The future is ours to win.
  • Uh-oh; a fault of the free enterprise system that govt HAS to spend for.  Internet, chips, space – doesn’t he realize that those were related not to the private market but to defense (a proper role of govt)?
  • Invest in biotech, IT, clean energy – here we go with the Govt-centric economy…  
  • Yeah, solar shingles – but what happens when the subsidies run out – I saw this ALL back in the 80s when I tried to get that stuff fixed after the companies went under when the govt $$ stopped.
  • 1,000,000 electric cars by 2015?  Is he insane?  Has he looked at the latest sales figures?  Crap – he’s going to tax the oil companies.

That’s It for Me: No More Obama State-of-the-Union Speeches

I just can’t see wasting an hour or more of my time listening to this President recite a litany of statements so utterly divorced from reality as to be fairly characterized as outright B.S. The nation stands on the precipice of financial ruination, and our President is talking about all the wonderful things the federal government is … Read more

F… The President

During a review of Mr. Obama’s Republican tax compromise with the democrat caucus one democrat House member was overheard expressing his distaste for the plan with the comment… “F…the president.”
