Americans Want Obama Pal Tim Geithner Gone

More trials and tribulations from the utter FAIL that is the Obama administration:

Adding to lawmaker criticism of U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's performance is a new survey released on Friday showing 42 percent of Americans say he has done a "poor job" handling the credit crisis and federal bailout programs.

The survey by Rasmussen Reports, a polling and electronic publishing firm, found that 20 percent rated Geithner's performance in these areas as "good" or "excellent", while 16 percent were not sure how he was performing. Twenty-two percent rated his performance as "fair".

Rasmussen said these findings were largely unchanged from a survey done in March just after the passage of the Obama administration's $787 billion stimulus plan and disclosure that American International Group would pay out $165 million in bonuses despite a massive government bailout.

Investors polled has stronger opinions: 47 percent said Geithner was doing a poor job , while 24 percent said his handling of crisis was good or excellent.

Oprah Winfrey Calling It Quits

Oh please, like 25 years isn't enough? Listen, Oprah Winfrey came out of poverty to become one of the world's most richest and influential women--that alone is an inspiration for young, black girls around the world. But she did it through naive, white soccer moms, narcissism, liberal propaganda, hatred against black men, faux-religious views, and doing shows on subjects (health, politics, etc.) that she literally knew little about. Respect her hustle, but not the way she got there. Now maybe she'll retire, go away for a little while and become Barry's VP pick in 2012.

Liberals Protest Al Gore In Portland, Oregon: "Al Gore Is A Liar!"

LiveLeak.com:

Weeks before announcing a $300-million, three-year advertising campaign to raise awareness about global warming, Al Gore was conducting a slide show for a group of investors in Monterey, Calif., touting companies such as Bloom Energy, Amryis , Mascoma and other firms that are not household names -- yet.

These bio-fuel and green technology firms could be poised to take off, Gore told his audienc More..e.

"Here are just a few of the investments I personally think make sense," he said during the March 1 presentation. "I have a stake in these so I'll have a disclaimer there." (See Video)

Gore's admitted stake in those companies comes from his partnership in the venture capital firm, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers (KPCB). Gore joined the firm last November, forging a partnership between KPCB and the London-based Generation Investment Management, a firm Gore chairs, and which steers investments in green and "sustainable" companies.

This month, KPCB announced it has invested $500 million into start-up "green growth" companies, and another $700 million into more established greentech, information technology and life science ventures.

So while ManBearPig continues to get rich off his global warming (or "climate change", have your pick) scheme, folks in uber-liberal Protland, Oregon of all places, tired of Mr. Gore lies, let their feelings known:

Lindsey Graham Takes Down Eric Holder

The irony here is that most on the Far-Right consider Senator Graham to be a RINO, the kind that the Limbaugh Right claims that it doesn't want. Show me a Republican who'd rather win none of the time over some of the time and I'll show you an idiot.

Barack Obama's Approval Ratings Dip Below 50%

NYDailyNews.com:

Quinnipiac is out with a new poll that shows President Obama's job approval is under 50% for the first time, at 48%.

Obama is still on the positive side, with just 42% thinking he is doing a poor job. But it is not good news for a President trying to push through a tough set of initiatives, with health care and revamping the Afghanistan war at the forefront.

"Although President Obama's job approval rating is below 50% for the first time nationally, it is not statistically different from his 50% approval rating in October. Nevertheless, in politics symbols matter and this is not a good symbol for the White House," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

Change they're no longer believing in.

9/11 Mother Confronts Attorney General Eric Holder

This is powerful stuff. Holder tries to use some "Blame Bush" memes, but this woman came prepared and is clearly concerned about the liberal, soft-on-terrorists administration that she has to deal with in order to get justice done. Good for her. By a way, a recent poll found that 40% of New Yorkers think that having the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York puts the city at risk.

Amazing. Why do people have to explain why they like Sarah Palin any more than why they like Barack Obama (and it's already been proven that most Obama stans can't by the way). This is nothing but a smear job by that noted bully Norah O'Donnell and MSNBC, any wonder why their ratings continue to tank?

Sarah Palin Photographer Breached Contract With Sale To Newsweek

DailyFinance.com:

What on earth was Sarah Palin thinking when she posed in a pair of teeny-tiny gym shorts for a photograph that ended up on the cover of Newsweek -- a cover she has called "sexist"? Perhaps she was thinking that her image would only appear in the magazine she was posing for, Runner's World, and nowhere else, at least not for months and months. If so, she had good reason -- since, as DailyFinance has learned, the photographer who shot the picture violated his contract by reselling them to Newsweek. That photographer, Brian Adams, could not immediately be reached, and his agent, Kelly Price, declined to comment, saying, "I keep all of my clients' business private."

But a spokeswoman for Runner's World confirms that Adams's contract contained a clause stipulating that his photos of Palin would be under embargo for a period of one year following publication -- meaning until August 2010. "Runner's World did not provide Newsweek with its cover image," the spokeswoman said. "It was provided to Newsweek by the photographer's stock agency, without Runner's World's knowledge or permission." The spokeswoman declined to say whether Runner's World intends to respond to Adams's breach of contract with legal action.

But while Newsweek's use of the photo violated the embargo, it's not clear to what extent Adams is at fault. A source with knowledge of the situation says multiple outlets, including Time, approached Runner's World after the photos first appeared on its website in July to inquire about obtaining the reuse rights. Those who inquired were forwarded to Adams. Editors at the magazine were aware of negotiations to resell the pictures, and were primarily concerned to see that Runner's World received prominent credit, says the source. In the event, Newsweek credited Runner's World right on its cover. Another source says there is some disagreement over whether the exclusivity clause in Adams's contract is meant to cover all magazines or only titles that compete with Runner's World. Meanwhile, a post on Adams's blog seems to suggest he didn't know about the resale to Newsweek until after Price concluded it.

Figures that a leftist rag like TIME would attempt to smear Palin by trying to purchase that photo too. I hope the photographer and Newsweek get their asses sued.

Racist Democrat Senator Robert Byrd 'Honored' For Capturing Longevity Record

FOXNews.com:

The Senate paid tribute Wednesday to the longest serving lawmaker in U.S. congressional history, a milestone marked with tributes and a special resolution.

"I look forward to serving you for the next 56 years and 320 days," Sen. Robert Byrd said in a statement marking the occasion. His only regret, Byrd said, was that his late wife, Erma, was not there with him.

"I know that she is looking down from the heavens smiling at me and saying congratulations, my dear Robert -- but don't let it go to your head," Byrd said.

It was unclear whether Byrd would be able to attend Wednesday's session.

Setting records is old news to the white-maned Democratic lawmaker, whose career in Washington began in 1952 with his election to the House from the state of West Virginia and his elevation six years later to the Senate.

Since June 12, 2006, Byrd has been the longest-serving senator and later that year he was elected to an unprecedented ninth term. His colleagues have elected him to more leadership positions than any senator in history. He has cast more than 18,000 votes and, despite fragile health that has kept him from the Senate floor during much of this year, has a nearly 98 percent attendance record over the course of his career.

Which, by Byrd's count, has spanned 20,774 days. On Tuesday, Byrd's service tied the record set by Carl Hayden, a Democrat who served in the House, then the Senate, from 1912 to 1969.

"I am willing to risk predicting that many of the records set by Sen. Robert Byrd will never be passed," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat, in the first of a series of floor tributes Wednesday.

The arc of Byrd's story is more complex than the numbers would suggest. It has been long enough for him to rescind positions that he once trumpeted, such as his opposition to the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Lengthy enough to voice his regret, over and over, about joining the Ku Klux Klan a lifetime ago.

Good to note that Byrd's "only regret" is that his wife couldn't be here for this "honor"--forget that KKK stint. Unbelievable. Of course, Byrd's a Democrat so not only can the former head Klansmen can get away with being re-elected over and over again, but even uttering the n-word just a few years ago. Double-standard much? Robert Byrd is a disgrace and so is this Congress.

A woman who was in a coma after a liposuction procedure at a Weston spa has died. The Broward County medical examiner's office confirmed Tuesday the death of 37-year-old Rohie Kah-Orukotan. Authorities were waiting for test results to determine a cause of death. That could take several weeks.

Nidal Hasan Is Definitely A Terrorist

Slate.com:

The admonition not to rush to judgment or jump to conclusions might sound fair and prudent enough, perhaps even statesmanlike when uttered by the president, as long it's borne in mind that such advice is itself a judgment that is more than halfway to a conclusion. What it plainly implies in the present case is that the actions of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan should not be assumed in any meaningful way to be related to his Muslim faith.

Perfect subjective knowledge of the major's possibly disordered mind is not available to me, but nor is it available to the host of damage-control commentators and FBI drones who have had things mostly their own way so far. In order to demonstrate the absence of a connection, however, the following facts would have to be regarded as relatively random or secondary:

1) Hasan had been in direct correspondence with a notorious preacher of violence, Anwar al-Awlaki, whose enthusiasm for the teachings and actions of al-Qaida has long been well-known to researchers and intelligence agencies.

2) He bought weapons for himself well in advance of a murderous assault on unarmed soldiers awaiting treatment at a clinic—people to whom, in addition to his responsibilities as a human being, he also owed, as a physician, a sworn duty of care.

3) As he unleashed his volleys, he yelled the universal cry of jihad, "Allahu akbar!" or "God is great!" (The eyewitnesses on this point, originally doubted, are especially convincing since some of them didn't understand the meaning of the words and only sought to reproduce them phonetically.) On his business card, he described himself described as "SOA" or "slave," or possibly, "soldier of Allah." Neither would be especially reassuring in this context.

4) He had attracted considerable attention by repeatedly using his postgraduate classes at the Uniformed Service University in Bethesda, Md., for the purpose of Islamic proselytizing, for a version of Islam that, to say the least, did not overemphasize it as a "religion of peace."

5) He had, in spoken and written communications, demonstrated a fascination with the love of death and the concept of suicide martyrdom (better described as suicide murder) that is the central concept of Bin Ladenism.

Dick Cheney warned us several times that the worst thing that could happen to Barry's presidency is another terrorist attack. And even my favorite dyke journalist, Rachel Maddow, backed up (albeit begrudgingly) Cheney comments recently by noting that painting Hasan as a "terrorist" would make Obama look like he's soft on terror. What with Barry losing independents by the truckload these days, more reason the White House is trying to ward off Congressman looking to get in on the Hasan probe.

Sarah Palin Admits Annoyance In 2008 Interview With Katie Couric, 'The Perky One'

I just watched the interview Sarah Palin did on "Oprah" and must say that it was pretty fair and engaging. There were times that Palin did look a little on edge, like she thought Oprah was going to attack with some partisan schuckery, but Oprah's far too experienced at the interview game to let something like that happen. My favorite part was towards the beginning when Sarah unintentionally, intentionally put the Queen's ego in check by alluding that Oprah's "snub" (not interviewing Palin during last year's presidential campaign) of her was the last thing on her mind at the time she was prepping to be VP. Overall, Sarah did a good job here.

MSNBC Apologizes For Using Sexist Photoshopped Images Of Sarah Palin

Newsbusters.org:

MSNBC’s Dylan Ratigan apologized on Monday for using photoshopped images of Sarah Palin firing a gun while wearing a bikini. The pictures, which were first brought to light on NewsBusters, appeared during a December 13 segment on the former governor and also included a doctored photo of the Republican in a black mini-skirt.

Ratigan explained, "I want to apologize to Governor Palin and all of our viewers. On Friday, in a very misguided attempt to have some fun in advance of Sarah Palin's upcoming book Going Rogue, our staff mistakenly used some clearly photoshopped images of Ms. Palin without any acknowledgment."

Calling the use of such faked images "unacceptable," Ratigan continued: "We should have never used those photos in the first place and you can rest assured we spent the weekend and Friday afternoon taking measures to make sure it will never happen again. I apologize."

"Yawn"....Newsweek Retreads The Leftwing Hate For Sarah Palin

AssociatedContent.com:

The Sarah Palin Newsweek cover shows the former Governor of Alaska is in very nice dark shorts and a tight, red top with nice hair, a nice smile, and an American flag nearby. The Sarah Palin Newsweek cover is a declaration of war.

Mind, the original photo ran on the cover of Runners World and contains a small flag with a blue star, representing Sarah Palin's son who is now serving his country in the Middle East. The blue star flag is obscured by the caption: "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Sarah?"

The accompanying articles are what one might expect. Sarah Palin is both an air head and a crazed demagogue who will surely sink the GOP is nominated and the country if elected. But the "problem" in this case is not the one stated, but the one deeply felt in newsrooms and political salons across the country.

First, let's look at the choice of the Sarah Palin Newsweek cover. The message is pretty clear. No one who aspires to be a world leader has any business looking like that. Women world leaders need to be old and dowdy, like Golda Meir, Indira Gandhi, or Angela Merkel. The simply cannot look as stunning as Sarah Palin, so stunning that she seems to drive people like David Letterman and Chris Matthews quite mad.

The idea that Sarah Palin is just too good looking to be President has more to do with the sexual insecurities of liberals than it does with Sarah Palin.

Mind, male politicians can get away with being good looking. People swooned over JFK's good looks and there are women who dream of being rogered six ways from Sunday by Barack Obama or Bill Clinton. Even the most liberal women, while hating George W. Bush, acknowledged that he looks like the Marlboro Man.

Rampant sexism in the liberal media? As Governor Palin would say, you betcha.

What's funny is how liberals still don't get how continuing to insult and smear Sarah Palin not only legitimizes her, but makes her even more popular. Her new book will become a best-seller and she owes plenty of thanks to liberals for making that happen. Whether it's Maureen Dowd at the Times, the left-wing Huffington Post and the majority of left-wing bloggers, liberals just can't stop talking about Sarah Palin--a woman whose popularity has been diminished greatly within the her own party thanks in part to her shenanigans of late: quitting the governorship of Alaska midway and now all the slams being hurled at the John McCain camp in lieu of last year's presidential campaign. Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney and Tim Romney are the current front-runners for the GOP nomination for President in 2012, Sarah Palin is 4th in most polls. But who cares? Thanks to liberal obsession with everything Citizen Sarah says and does, regardless if Palin never even runs for President, she'll still never have to worry being irrelevant anytime soon.
