Headlines June 19, 2009

The headlines scream, yet again.

Obama has fired 2 IGs in 2 weeks, leashed another at Hot Air.  Throw caution and following the rule of law to the wind.  Get rid of those independent governmental officials whose jobs were specifically created to be watchdogs to weed out government abuse and corruption.  When they start investigating your friends who gave you large political campaign donations.  That is exactly what Barack Obama has done.  Even Democratic senator questions AmeriCorps firing.  Democrat Claire McCaskill noted the failure of the president to follow the law when it comes down to dismissal of IG’s.   Rightfully,  Republicans Not Satisfied With White House Explanation for Walpin Firing at Fox.

“The POBAMA.  Pocket President.  Catch the Infomercial on ABC.  Ron Pobama, Huckster.”

Likewise, ABC TURNS PROGRAMMING OVER TO OBAMA; NEWS TO BE ANCHORED FROM INSIDE WHITE HOUSE at Drudge.  No surprise ABC is now doing the bidding for the White House considering $hocking: ABC Employees’ Donations Went to Obama by a 33-to-1 Ratio, and Not a Single Journalist Gave to Palin/McCain at Ace of Spades.  By becoming embedded in the White House, ABC confirms the perception of its lack of journalistic objectivity.

White House Stands by Obama’s Claim That Single-Payer Health Care Works In Other Countries–It’s Just Not Sure Which Countries Obama Meant at CNS News.  Watch the RCP video here.  Gee, sounds like the President needs to get his facts straight, because the sales talk is showing severe cracks.

Bush takes swipes at Obama policies at the Washington Times.   Give the man credit that he stayed quiet for this long.  Capitalism rocks.

“I know it’s going to be the private sector that leads this country out of the current economic times we’re in,” the former president said to applause from members of a local business group. “You can spend your money better than the government can spend your money.”

Japan warns that North Korea may fire missile at U.S. on Independence Day.  Because Kim Jong-Il has nothing better to do except wave his rocket around in his platform shoes and polyester suit. 

Obama Clueless on Iran.  Alas, Charles Krauthammer calls the spade, the spade.  The meek  Obama on Iran: I cannot be silent, even though I was silent for three days  at Hot Air effectively sealed that reputation.   Finally, Obama and Biden’s take on the bludgeoning and killing of Iran Citizens who demand freedom at UW.

CIA Recruiting Laid-Off Bankers in NYCat Newsmax.  Because when one door closes, another one opens.

With great fanfare, Widow of Murdered Fly Seeks White House Apology, Shit at Iowahawk.  Natural result of PETA wishes Obama hadn’t swatted that fly at MSNBC.  The amount of detritus being propped up by the White House these days as worthy ways of fixing America’s ills, leaves no doubt the etiology of the flies.
