Watch and see the truth blow up in Steve Rattner's face.



On ABC’s This Week, former Obama economic adviser Steve Rattner denied comparing the Tea Party to suicide bombers, but video of his appearance on MSNBC days earlier shows that he clearly did.

What's Going On

Enlarge this FDR era cartoon, read carefully ...

Stalin was well established in power by 1934, and the figure in the lower left-hand corner appears to be Leon Trotsky. Harold Ickes (pictured center) served as Secretary of the Interior under FDR starting in 1933. Rexford Tugwell (the guy on the horse) was a Columbia academic and key advisor. Henry Wallace served in FDR’s cabinet and later as vice president as a candidate of the Progressive Party is seen holding a shovel. And Donald Richberg was general counsel and executive director of FDR’s National Recovery Administration.

The artist was Pulitzer Prize winner Carey Orr who drew political cartoons for the Tribune at the time.

As The Obama Lies Pile Up, Are The Wheels Coming Off

CNN Notices How Out-of-Touch Obama Is ....

Has the media begun to notice the wheels coming off at the White House? First, Politico notices that Barack Obama still hasn’t offered any solutions despite the late hour of the fiscal crisis at hand. Last night, CNN’s Gloria Borger noticed that Obama seems out of the loop on the actual proposals floating around the Beltway, too. Obama tried to pump up support for tax increases, which makes him a chorus of … one:

Where's Obama's Plan? Reporters Clash With WH Press Secretary Jay Carney

Jake Tapper says to Carney: "It was not a plan, it was details of a plan" You also hear Chuck Todd at the beginning. Carney tells him that "we've shown a lot of leg on what we were proposing"



Lamestream wakes up, finds self on trash pile.

Coalition of the lamestream has the whiny Jay Carney calling "Republican talking points" on the idea the President should have a plan.

It's pretty interesting-- the press room moans in displeasure when Carney suggests they skipped out of town early on Friday, when he claims the President clearly outlined his "principles."

His "principles." Still not his "plan."

As the CBO said, "We can't score speeches."

Really worth viewing. It's interesting that media is finally starting to chafe under Obama's arrogant reign. Really, really worth watching. The press (particularly Todd and Jake Tapper) will not ease up on Carney over the administration's utter failure to produce a plan.

The fact is, for all of Obama’s attacks on Republicans, he has no plan on paper for the debt ceiling or the budget.

Little Boy Walks Out On Meeting

OBAMA WALKS OUT OF DEBT TALKS- Demands His Tax Hikes

Barack Obama walked out "abruptly" today on the debt talks with Congressional leaders. The President wants to raise taxes and Republicans won't let him.



Apparently the Obama Social Security lies didn't last until the weekend.

Who Decides?

Don’t you just love how calm and cheerful he is, as he hammers away at the truth? Even Stephen Goss, the chief actuary of the Social Security Administration, couldn’t help but smile as Huelskamp asked for his help getting to the bottom of why Social Security checks might not go out Aug. 3, when the nation clearly has enough money — even under a debt limit budget — to cover the interest on its debt, Social Security and more (Huelskamp even had the chart to prove it!).

Goss confirmed the decision to send out Social Security checks (or not) would, indeed, be a Treasury Department (a.k.a. the administration’s) decision.




During a July 13, 2011 Budget Committee hearing Congressman Huelskamp asked Stephen Goss, Chief Actuary for Social Security, for additional information about President Obama's statement the day before that he cannot guarantee that Social Security checks would be mailed August 3. Mr. Goss indicated that the Social Security Administration anticipates issuing checks, but that it will be a decision of the Obama administration as to whether or not the checks are mailed. 

The Administration, a.k.a. Obama would decide to withhold sending out the checks.

Sebelius Cracks! Admits the Obamacare Books Were Cooked

Shocked I assume, that the lamestream didn't say a word to the public.

The House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee invited Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to swing by and have a little chin wag about the budgetary implications of ObamaCare. Representative John Shimkus (R-IL) noticed that the rather large sum of $500 billion was dedicated to both sustaining Medicare and funding ObamaCare. When he asked Sebelius which destiny awaited those five hundred billion clams, she replied, "Both."

That's right, folks: another part of the ObamaCare fraud involved double-counting half a trillion dollars. Shimkus said he was "shocked" to learn this. "We knew the health care law's actual cost was much greater than originally told to the public," he declared. "And now, the truth is slowly coming out in administration reports and testimony." In other news, Shimkus was equally "shocked" to discover there was gambling going on at Rick's Café.

Obama -- Signing Statement Lies

This is the misunderstanding ...



Now making laws for himself ...

Jay Carney: Obama Was Never Opposed To Signing Statements

Jay Carney says President Obama was never against signing statements, just when President Bush "abused" them. Watch what then-Senator Obama said in 2008 while running for president and decide for yourself.

"His concern was with what he saw as an abuse of the signing statement by the previous administration. So that the positions he took in signing statements on the budget bill entirely consistent with that position, you need to retain the right to, as president, to be able to issue those signing statements, but obviously they should not be abused," White House press secretary Jay Carney told the press on Monday.

Carney, not a very good liar, he just assumes the media won't bother.

EPA Admits Jobs Don't Matter

Here is how bureaucrats lie.



During an Environment and the Economy Subcommittee hearing, EPA Assistant Administrator Mathy Stanislaus admits to U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner that the EPA does not account for jobs when they issue regulations.

Santelli Slams CNBC Panelists for Spinning Jobs Report

Let's face it, the lies from the government are all about trying to reelect Obama ... It's a fact no president has been reelected with a jobs number of unemployment over 8% --- CNBC's floor reporter criticizes 'kool-aid drinkers' for trying to find good news in the 'disappointing.'

Enjoy ...





CNBC's Rick Santelli even lashed out at some of the CNBC "Squawk Box" panel that were discussing the latest jobs report.

"[W]e have overwhelming evidence the jobs market is disappointing, and all of you are trying to look for that one half of spaghetti in a 50 lb. spaghetti bowl. This is not great data," Santelli claimed. "We know that the U6 probably gives you a better indication of the true unemployment rate …"

CNBC's Steve Liesman interjected: "It went down, Rick. It went down - "

"Yeah, what is it?" asked Santelli.

"It went down Rick, to 16.1 [percent]," Liesman said.

"Oh boy, guys! 16.1 [percent] is probably the unemployment rate. That's cause celebre," Rick sarcastically shouted on the trading floor of the Chicago mercantile exchange.

"But it fell from 16.7," Liesman insisted.

Santelli continued to criticize the spin: "You know what Steve? You and I both know that the unemployment rate, the labor force moving in and out, those giving up, is really probably your best statistical reason for the drop to 9.0 (percent). And in terms of jobs, you, Mr. Steve Liesman, said if you work just one day. If you stay home but you get paid you're counted in the data …"

"Right - it shouldn't be weather," Liesman acknowledged. Some of the panelists including Moody's economist Mark Zandi had blamed weather for drops in construction and other sectors.

"So this is probably less distorted," Santelli concluded.

But the fact that the two different economic surveys conducted by the BLS were moving in different directions was baffling to many. Even the liberal Economic Policy Institute noted on its blog that the picture was "muddled."

What Happens When The President Cuts off 20% of USA Oil Production?

Higher pump prices coming your way this spring -- Unexpectedly. I wonder, why isn't the media talking about this the way they did when Bush was president. In the good old Bush days, it was the nightly lead story on the networks. Now, no mention.

When Obama took office average pomp prices were 1.80 a gallon. Quite and achievement, why not tell people?

Pump prices have risen nearly 9 percent since Dec. 1 and topped $3.10 a gallon this week. That's the highest level since October 2008. The price may rise or fall a little over the next few months, but analysts expect it to range between $3.20 and $3.75 gallon by March and April ahead of the summer driving season.

One of the many mysteries of the leftist media.

And wait until you get your heating bills, with all the global warming we are having ...
