Hope & Change America: Confidence in Barack Obama to Do the Right Thing for America Falls to New Low

Hey America, how’s that “Hopey, Changey” thing working out for you? DRIP, DRIP, DRIP … How low can he go?

Obviously from the latest Washington Post/ABC News poll, not to well. The publics confidence in President Barack Hussein Obama to do the right thing for America drops to an all time low. when asked how much confidence do you have in Barack Obama to make the right decisions for the country’s future – a great deal of confidence, a good amount, just some or none at all … 57% said just some or not at all.

As the Times refers to it as the “Low Down”of Barack Obama. It is only a matter of time before the overall job approval numbers start reflecting how Americans feel about issues like the economy. Obama can no longer make teleprompter speeches to America and make promises that he has even yet to keep. The gig is up for this President and he has been found wanting. America wanted change; however they certainly did not want socialism and we are learning more and more every day, they do not want this President or his agenda.

Obama Press Sec Gibbs Says NASA Administrator Bolden Misspoken When He told Al Jazeera His Top Priorities was to Reach Out to Muslim Countries

Priceless … Obama White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters that NASA Administrator Charles Bolden must have misspoken when he told Al Jazeera last month that one of his top priorities is to reach out to Muslim countries. Really, Bolden misspoke? That’s a rather convenient and unbelievable excuse.

So Gibbs says that Muslim Outreach is not the job of NASA. Does Barack Hussin Obama know that? Maybe the “Chosen One” would like to explain why Bolden was there in the first place. He seemed to be pretty well versed for some one who was confused and misspoke.

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Monday that NASA Administrator Charles Bolden must have misspoken when he told Al Jazeera last month that one of his top priorities is to reach out to Muslim countries.

“That was not his task and that’s not the task of NASA,” Gibbs said.

NASA last week walked back Bolden’s claim that Muslim outreach was the “perhaps foremost” plank of his mission, saying that Bolden was merely talking about his “outreach” responsibilities and that space exploration is still NASA’s No. 1 job.

Before Gibbs wants to attempt and back track on Bolden’s comments and try and save face for Obama, Robert Gibbs might want to first answer the question what in the HELL is a NASA official giving an interview to  Al Jazeera? What’s the matter  Al Jazeera did not have any terrorist beheading to report on and needed filler.

Check out the VIDEO interview for yourself … does it really seem like Bolden misspoke? The very first thing that Bolten says during the interview that he is there in the region as part of the first anniversary of Obama’s Cairo Speech known as the Cairo initiative and the new beginning between  the US and the Muslim world. The very reason why the NASA Administrator was there was the Obama/Muslim initiative. Misspoke, eh? Seriously America, do you honestly think that Bolden just made this stuff up?

Bolden did not misspeak, this was Obama’s mission to Mecca. The only problem was that once again Obama miscalculated the American people’s reaction to this insane craziness that we have sadly become all to accustomed to out of the Obama Administration. The Obama Administration has such disdain for the American people that they think they can say anything and further Obama’s agenda and when caught like this, just lie their way out of it.

Beware of  getting thrown under the Obama bus

Misspoke my eye … Welcome to Obama’s Muslim agenda and NASA’s mission to Mecca. The Obama Administration was once again caught spreading their far left, progressive agenda. Now for “The One” to mislead the American people, Obama needs some one to fall on their sword and get run over by the Obama bus.

Swiss Authorities Say No to Extradition of Film Director Roman Polanski to the United States to Face Rape Charges

Well if you drug, rape and sodomize 13 year old girls, Switzerland is just the place for you. We have all heard of Swiss neutrality, but this is ridiculous.  

Roman Polanski  was arrested in September 2009 in Zurich, Switzerland and has been under house arrest and facing extradition back to the United States to stand trial for rape charges. However, thanks to the gutless Swiss … the 76 year old Oscar-winning director Roman Polanski is now a free man. The Swiss authorities have decided not to extradite the man who is alleged to have drugged and raped a 13 year old girl.

Hey Switzerland, if it was Heidi who was drugged, raped and sodomized … would you have extradited?

Just curious Switzerland, WHAT PART ABOUT THE UNDISPUTED TESTIMONY OF POLANSKI DRUGGING, RAING AND SODOMIZING A 13 YEAR OLD GIRL DON’T YOU QUITE GET? Thanks to the Swiss, this perv, scumbag escapes accountability.

White House Press Sec Gibbs Fears Republican House Take Over & Bias MSM Can’t Ask AG Holder about Black Panther Party

Obama to House Democrats … thanks for your votes on health care, but you are on your own …

This was interesting, Obama Press Secretary Robert Gibbs went on the Sunday talk shows and said “Republicans win control” and take over the US House of Representatives in the 2010 midterm elections. Is Gibbs sending out the emergency flare of what is going to happen in November or is he lowering the Obama expectation bar? With the job that Obama has done in office, could the bar get any lower?

Hat Tip: Weasel Zippers for Baghdad Robert Gibbs

“There is no doubt there are enough seats at play that could cause Republicans to gain control, there is no doubt about that,” Gibbs told NBC’s “Meet the Press” talk show when asked whether the Democrats would maintain their majority in the House.

Jesse Jackson Wrong Again & Looks to Race Bait off the LeBron James/Dan Gilbert War of Words

A foolish and emotional comment, followed by a race baiting reaction … Jesse Jackson must be near.

What, a media event and Jesse Jackson is looking to interject himself, race and slavery into the issue? What a shocker! NOT! Dear Mr. Jackson, believe it or not most of the times people say foolish things because their emotions get the best of them, not because they are slave owners.

Jesse Jackson stated that owner Dan Gilbert looked upon LeBron James as … ”a runaway slave.” WHAT!!! Could Jesse Jackson be more irrelevant and insane these days? Jackson through his incendiaryrhetoric just demeaned the memory and bravery of runaway slaves. By the way, when was the last time a run away slave made the $’s that LeBron James made?

The “LeBron-o-thon” media event is thankfully over, but not for Jesse Jackson, the man who has made a cottage industry out of race baiting and keeping the black/white divisive issue alive. Following the decision by LeBron James to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers after 7 seasons, the owner of the CAV’s, Dan Gilbert, made some ill advised and emotional comments regarding James. From ESPN, the city of Cleveland and its owner were openly upset and felt betrayed.
