The NBC Peacock Must be so Proud … Al Sharpton, Great Moments in Journalism … He Said What?

File this one under … Great moments in NBC journalism …

Talk about must see Video and great moments in journalism all wrapped up into one. MSNBC has really outdone itself by adding the orator Al Sharpton to its stable of media giants. ARE YOU SERIOUS? What did he just say, was he reading from a teleprompter or was he having a seizure?  What on earth did Sharpton even say? I doubt whether even he knows.

How proud NBC must be of what they have been reduced to these days. Brinkley, Huntley, Chancellor and Mudd could not be reached for comment. Obviously, Barack Obama needs to teach Al the finer points of reading a teleprompter. Of course that may not even do the trick. Is this what NBC has come to? How can a news organization with such former giants as Huntley & Brinkley and Russert be reduced to this?

Obama Said There Would Be No Media & No Photos from Dover … Obama Lied … Uses Dead Seal Heroes for Political Photo Op

Commander in Chief, eh … Barack Obama, you are a pathetic, small, small man. You should be ashamed; however, one would have to have shame, in order to be ashamed.

HOW LOW AND DISGRACEFUL CAN THIS PRESIDENT GET? AFTER PROMISING THERE WOULD BE NO MEDIA AND PHOTOS TAKEN AT DOVER AIR FORCE BASE WHEN THE DECEASED HEROES RETURNED HOME … OBAMA LIES AND USES MOMENT FOR POLITICAL PHOTO OP.

Once again the Obama White House uses the theory, always take advantage of a crisis, even when President Barack Obama said there would be no pics or lasting images of the US military heroes return from the helicopter crash that killed 31 in Afghanistan. Obama said there would be no pictures, but the “small” leader just could not stop himself … they posted the pic on the White House web site as the “photo of the day”.

From the AP comes the following regarding Obama’s lie to the families of US military heroes. It would appear the AP is non too happy with Barack Obama. Neither are the families of the deceased military heroes.

A White House photographer was allowed to take and widely distribute a photo from the ceremony Tuesday for the return of the remains of 30 American troops killed in a weekend helicopter crash in Afghanistan despite the Pentagon’s claim that any public depiction of the scene would violate the wishes of bereaved families.

News media coverage of the ceremony had been banned by the Pentagon over the objections of several news organizations.

Pentagon officials had said that because 19 of 30 of the American families of the dead had objected to media coverage of the remains coming off a plane at Dover Air Force Base, no images could be taken. In addition, the Pentagon rejected media requests to take photos that showed officials at the ceremony but did not depict caskets.

The head of public affairs at the Pentagon stated that the department did not know the White House photographer was present and had no idea a photo of the event was being released until it became public. UNREAL. Even more unreal, Obama and the WH actually had the audacity to defend what they did.

“The White House routinely releases photos taken by the White House photographers in specific circumstances where it would be inappropriate to include members of the media,” Carney said. “In this case, the White House released the photo, in the interests of transparency, so that the American people could have as much insight as possible into this historic and sobering event.”

Is it any wonder why Democrats try and prevent absentee ballots from the military to not be counted? What a Commander in Chief, using dead American heroes for his political gain to make the misleader look Presidential. You never looked more un-Presidential, Barack Obama.

Jay Carney Defends Obama’s Vacation, Obama’s Trip to Martha’s Vineyard isn’t a Vacation

When is a vacation to Marth’s Vineyard  not a vacation … When you are Barack Obama of course. The excuses for the out of touch president continues.

As the American economy burns, the European faltering economies lay in the balance, jobs for Americans are no where to be found and America cannot endure any more debt, Barack Obama decides to take a vacation on the tax payers dime to “life styles of the rich and famous” destination of Martha’s Vineyard.  Doesn’t this speak volumes of Barack Obama. Yesterday, Jake Tapper of ABC News questioned White House mouth piece Jay Carney as to O’s vacation. Of course Carney had an excuse for everything.Carney said,“no such thing as a Presidential vacation”.  Really Jay, that’s not what you said when GWB was in office. As PJ Media states, the internet search engines are so unforgiving and they never forget.

Jake Tapper, ABC News: “You said the President will not rest until the joblessness and the economy are worked out, but the President is obviously going on vacation. But I was wondering, Is there any concern — I understand that it takes two to tango in Washington. We went over that the other day. You need the Congress to be in Washington. We went over that the other day about whether or not you guys should call Congress to come back. Is there any concern about the impression that the President going to Martha’s Vineyard for 9 or 10 days might leave on the American people? And also, if this is such an important issue for Speaker Boehner, for Harry Reid, for President Obama, why the R&R?”

I have to agree with the Lonely Conservative, even though it looks so bad that in a time of such economic peril for Americans and they crave a leader to step forward, Obama opts for a vacation instead. However, at least an Obama on vacation cannot do any more damage. Maybe if he shuts up and stays away from making speeches telling the US and the world that all is well with the economy that the markets will not fall another 400 points in reaction to his feeble words.

Even though the world economy is on fire, unemployment is over 9% and we are on the verge … it does not prevent Obama from the priorities in his life of golfing, vacations and fund raisers.When perception is everything in politics, how does a President just go on vacation as millions and millions of Americans not only cannot go on a vacation, but cannot go to a job either?

I am guessing that we will hear next that it is George W. Bush’s fault that Obama had to go on vacation. America, I beg you … in 2012 let’s all send Obama on a permanent vacation and run him out of office on a rail in a most decisive way.

SEE YOU IN 2012  BARACK … YOU ARE FINISHED!

Stock Markets Drop Another 500+ Points … Thanks for the Hope & Change Barack Obama .. Does Not Deter Another Obama Vacation

THANK YOU BARACK OBAMA …

Good grief, DOW falls another 519 points today. A fantastic follow up to Monday’s fall of 634 points as President Barack Obama went on TV to calm the people and the markets and made matters worse. Lets face it, he has lost all credibility and no one has any confidence in Obama. For the second time in three days the stock markets collapse.

The Dow Jones industrial average is down 519, or 4.6 percent, to 10,720. It’s the third time in the last five trading days that the Dow lost more than 500 points. The S&P 500 is down 51 points, or 4.4 percent, to 1,121. The Nasdaq is down 101, or 4.1 percent, to 2,381.

Yet another Thank you Barack, T-notes are being sold at record lows. Now we hear that Moody’s is warning state and local governments could see credit downgrades. Add that to a 9%+ unemployment rate, an 18.0% underemployment rate, a GDP of 1.8% and an economic situation getting worse not better under Obama. So what does Barack Obama do with the utter mess he has created … why go on another vacation of course.

White House press secretary Jay Carney defends President Obama’s upcoming 10 day trip to Martha’s Vineyard. Carney is asked why the President is taking such a vacation when he constantly says he “will not rest” until the jobs issue is resolved. Here is the exchange:

3 year old Breeann Rodriguez has been missing since Saturday, August 8, 2011 around 12  in the afternoon when she vanished without a from outside her home in Senath, MO.  According to police, Breeann Rodriguez went missing this morning after she was playing in front of her home on a pink bicycle.  Breeann was riding a bicycle  when her brother went into the house and came back out, she was gone.

If you have any information on the whereabouts of Breeann Rodriguez, contact the Senath Police Department at (573) 738-2818 or the Dunklin County Sheriff’s Office at (573) 888-2424

UPDATE I: Investigators find two pieces of evidence … Senath Police: Evidence is negative sign in search for missing Breeann Rodriguez. The police are not elaborating on what the evidence is and the fact that they think its a bad sign makes me think that it might be an article of clothing or shoes, etc.

While they feel this new lead is a good sign Senath Police Chief Omar Karnes believes the opposite.  He said finding this type of evidence or any evidence that can be connected back to Breeann gives him a bad feeling.

“I don’t want to find… I want to find her alive,” said Karnes.

He said finding pieces of evidence leads him to believe that someone is trying to hide something.  The area where they found the items has been searched before and they found nothing.

Economy in Shambles and Michelle Obama Takes Secret Vacation

LET THEM EAT CAKE … SACRIFICE!

First lady Michelle Obama showing that she has skin in the game, NOT,  slipped out of DC on a vacation under the cloak of darkness, or at least from the notice of the MSM. America is glad to see that a US credit downgrade, an anemic GDP, a 9.1% unemployment rate and a mountain of US debt does not deter Michelle Obama from altering her lifestyle … you go girl.

Mrs. Obama reportedly jetted into the Eugene Airport, landing at about 11 am PDT. She and family members then headed out in a 11 vehicle motorcade for the ride to Corvallis.

The White House has so far said little about the trip, which was unannounced. It’s unclear how long the vacation will last.

Mrs. Obama and family members flew on a Boeing C-40B, the military version of a 737 that serves as Air Force 2.

Mrs. Obama has in the past incurred criticism for her travels, including an early departure for her most recent Hawaiian vacation and a luxurious 2010 trip to Spain. Most of the costs of her travel are borne by taxpayers.

Tea Party & Republicans Win in Wisconsin Recall Election, Maintain Majority 17-16

ON WISCONSIN … Once again as Meatloaf sings, two out of three ain’t bad … especially when it means that GOP wins recall election in Wisconsin.

The Wisconsin Recall Election, part 1 is over and the Republicans win a huge victory in a “BLUE” state. Republicans won 4 of 6 elections and retained power by a 17-16 margin, GOP holds Districts 2, 10, 14 & 8 and Retain Senate! It is an even bigger win for the Tea Party and a colossal loss for Democrats and unions.It was billed by Democrats as a referendum on Gov. Scott Walkers efforts to reduce union

Democrats won two state Senate seats in Tuesday’s historic recall elections, but failed to capture a third seat that would have given them control of the chamber.

By keeping a majority in the Senate, Republicans retained their monopoly on state government because they also hold the Assembly and governor’s office. Tuesday’s elections narrowed their majority – at least for now – from 19-14 to a razor-thin 17-16.

Republicans may be able to gain back some of the losses next week, when two Democrats face recall elections.

Democrats had hoped to block the Republican agenda by taking control of the Senate in the recall elections, but the GOP should be able to continue to advance its agenda.

How big a loser were unions, as pointed out by the Gateway Pundit, they spent ten’s of millions of dollars in the recall effort that went up in smoke.

What a huge victory for the GOP in a Blue, Blue state and a massive loss for Democrats. In many districts voting was on par with a presidential election. So what does this tell us … Wisconsin is now a battle ground state for the 2012 election from what was once sure Democrat win. The once birthplace of Progressivism, is not a battle ground state with a huge Tea Party victory. Who needs polls, the people have voted and Obama is in deep trouble in 2012.

As stated at the LA Times, the Cheese head voters gave the GOP a mandate in the 2010 election and just reinforced that mandate last night in the GOP recall vote. Sorry Democrats, as your misleader Obama has stated in the past, elections have consequences.

US Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) Says Time to Impeach Barack Obama

US Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) says impeaching President Barack Obama “needs to happen.” One can dare to dream. Obama has been an abysmal failure as President and one wonders whether he is even engaged as President. He has failed to lead and when he speaks he fails miserably as seen the other day when he spoke to calm the markets and he made things worse.

“It needs to happen, and I agree with you it would tie things up,” Burgess reportedly responded. “No question about that.”

When the Star-Telegram’s reporter asked Burgess about the comment, he said the House needs to do what it can to stop the president.

“We need to tie things up,” Burgess said. “The longer we allow the damage to continue unchecked, the worse things are going to be for us.”

As Weasel Zippers says, impeach Obama … so this is what Chris Matthews felt like with a tingly feeling up his leg.

However, no need to fret if Obama is not impeached, the 2012 President elections will add Barack to the unemployment numbers. Obama’s present job approval as seen at RCP is at 43.7% and 49.8% disapproval … a – 6.1% margin. Three polls, Gallup, Fox News and CNN all have Obama at -10 job approval. That would be a trend folks.
