Barack Obama Putting Party Before Country … Proud of Jimmy Hoffa for his War on Tea Party, Those Son’s of Bitches … Hoffa Says He Has No Regrets

Barack Obama … the Hypocrite in Chief.

President Barack Obama might want to take his own words to heart when it comes to over the top political rhetoric and partisan politics. But if he did, that would make him a leader, not a hypocrite. Barack Obama talks about how the GOP should put Country before Party. How come the same is not true of Barack Obama? Where is your apology for what happened yesterday when Obama spoke to union members in Detroit, MI?

Was it really appropriate for James Hoffa Jr to attack the GOP and the Tea Party by saying “Let’s take these son’s of bitches out”? Really Mr. President? Then you followed his rebel rousing and said nothing of your so-called request for civility? How does Obama expect to work together with “the enemy” that union labor declared war on yesterday? To make matters worse, at a separate event, VP Joe Biden said to union workers, “You are the only folks keeping the barbarians from the gates”.

Where is the apology and condemnation President Barack Obama? 3 … 2 … 1 … we are waiting. Instead, after calling for civility, Barack Obama and the WH remains silent. No double standard and hypocrisy here. However, there was a comment from Jimmy Hoffa, from the Gateway Pundit via Weasel Zippers … Hoffa stated that he had no regrets for his comments.

Teamsters union president James Hoffa would say it all again if he could, he told TPM Monday.

Hoffa riled up Fox News and the right wing Monday with a Labor Day speech in Detroit in which he called Republican members of Congress “sons of bitches” and said union workers are ready to “go to war” with the tea party next year and “take out” Republicans at the ballot box.

Hoffa said he’d say the exact same words all over again.

As pathetic as Hoffa’s comments are, at least he had the cojones to say something, unlike Obama who hides in the White House and refuses to make a comment one way or the other regarding the “taking the son’s of bitches out” comment. Mum is the word.

UPDATE I: This morning on Fox & Friends, DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz also played the role of the coward and said nothing. She refused to comment of the “son’s of bitches” comment and only wanted to talk about working together to create jobs. Debbie, do you really think any one can work together when your “Army” is ready to take out the GOP and Tea Party? Unbelievable that the head of the DNC and the White House cannot respond. Actually not unbelievable, TYPICAL!

Barack Obama’s Civility, a President of the People? Will Obama Condemn Hoffa & Biden for Calling Republicans/Tea Party Barbarians & Son’s of Bitches?

DEMOCRAT CIVILITY … CALLING THE GOP AND TEA PARTY BARBARIANS AND SONS OF BITCHES … BARACK OBAMA, THE DIVIDER IN CHIEF.

America … is this the “Hope & Change” you voted for? Just curious Barack Obama … would this be an example of You putting Party before Country?

It would appear that Barack Obama, Joe Biden nor James Hoffa Jr. could care less about 9 year old  Christina Taylor Green. For that matter, the Democrat party. Would a President of all the people allow such hostility and hate to be spewed prior to their own speech? The answer is no and thus the reason why Obama is nothing more than a partisan hack beholden to Big Labor Unions.

Just this past weekend during his Weekly Presidential Address Barack Obama called for Congress to skip the political posturing. Of course we also remember when Obama said at the Tuscan, AZ Memorial following the senseless killings of six innocent individuals including 9 year old Christina Taylor Green.

I believe we can be better. Those who died here, those who saved lives here – they help me believe. We may not be able to stop all evil in the world, but I know that how we treat one another is entirely up to us. I believe that for all our imperfections, we are full of decency and goodness, and that the forces that divide us are not as strong as those that unite us.

However, after months of Democrats calling the Tea Party and Republicans racists, Nazis, supporting racism and telling them they can go to hell … today President Barack Obama showed his true colors and why America does not consider him a leader of “We the People”.

At a Labor Day speech in Detroit, Michigan that was said by the WH not to be a political campaign speech, was nothing but.  Prior to Obama’s partisan speech to a crowd of union workers, Jimmy Hoffa Jr. riled up the union masses by saying the following,“President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let’s take these son of bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong.” Only to be followed up by Joe Biden, the VP of the United States acting in a partisan manner, “You Are The Only Folks Keeping The Barbarians From the Gates.” Nice partisan comments from Biden at an AFL-CIO event in Ohio.

This President is a joke. He tells Republicans to put country before party and then attends a pro-Union Labor Day political rally where insults are made toward the GOP. Barack Obama has no credibility. The UK Telegraph asks whether Barack Obama is going to condemn the comments made by Hoffa and Biden. Condemn? He embraced them.

Barack Obama’s Labor Day … Pandering to Unions in Detroit … What a Partisan, Political Hack … Hoffa Says to Obama, “Let’s Take These Son Of Bitches Out”

Barack Obama’s Labor Day … nothing more than a partisan, political campaign speech. NICE LABOR DAY CIVILITY BARACK.

Define Irony … Barack Obama having the nerve top make a speech on labor day when 14 million Americans are out of work.

Today President Barack Obama spoke on Labor Day, not to Americans, but to Labor Unions and workers. Wasn’t it just the other day that this partisan hack said that Washington, DC needed to have  less political posturing? This is why Obama is a total and complete failure, he is not a leader of the people … he only cares for a select few. Barack Obama sees America as the United States of Unions, not the United Sates of America.  Michelle Malkin reminds us of Obama’s Unions Top 10 Thug moments of the Year.

Remember in 2008 when Barack Obama said that this is not about red states, its not about blue states, its about the United States. Really? Sorry Barack … you are only about your political ideology, not about Americans. I wonder how non-union Americans feel about this beholden union President? Wait, more union thuggery for Michelle Malkin occurred today … this might go to the head of the list.

This is just unbelievable if you think about it. It was Barack Obama who called for civility, yet at an Obama event today in Detroit, MI Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa said that Watch the unreal VIDEO at Real Clear Politics. Get a good glimpse America of the name calling and viciousness that is going to come from Team Obama for the 2012 Presidential campaign. Obama cannot run on his record of job growth, spending, lowering unemployment or Obamacare. When a President has failed on every objective … all they have is name calling and mud slinging.

We got to keep an eye on the battle that we face: The war on workers. And you see it everywhere, it is the Tea Party. And you know, there is only one way to beat and win that war. The one thing about working people is we like a good fight. And you know what? They’ve got a war, they got a war with us and there’s only going to be one winner. It’s going to be the workers of Michigan, and America. We’re going to win that war,” Jimmy Hoffa Jr. said to a heavily union crowd.

“President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let’s take these son of bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong,” Hoffa added.

WHERE IS THE CIVILITY THAT OBAMA HAS ASKED FOR?

So Barack Obama has no problem with this kind of speech? Hoffa was the opening act to Obama today. How divisive could an American President possibly be? Hoffa called for a war on Republicans for jobs. Really sir, because you boy Barack Obama has done what exactly for job growth in America? A note to Hoffa, union workers ain’t the only workers in America. Those Tea Party folks that you are so quick to call names work as well. As a matter of fact, more individual in America are non-Union than union workers.

How pathetic is Jimmy Hoffa and the unions. What America really thinks its the Tea Party’s fault why 14 million Americans are out of work, there is 9.1% unemployment and there was ZERO job growth in August 2011? It is President Barack Obama, the first elected black President, who resides over the worst black unemployment rate in 27 years.

BARACK OBAMA HAS BEEN AN EPIC FAILURE AND THE 2012 CAMPAIGN FROM THIS WH IS GOING TO BE UGLY.

Rick Perry Leads in Iowa: Perry 29%, Bachmann 18%, Romney 17%, Paul 14%

Texas Governor Rick Perry is in the cat birds seat when it comes to polling in the first three GOP primary states. According to a recent Rasmussen poll, Perry leads in Iowa 29% with a double digit lead over US rep. Michele Bachmann (18%),  former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (17%) and Ron Paul (14%).  If Perry wins Iowa, he will take 2 of the 3 first primary states.

Confirming a surge seen in polling across the nation, Texas Governor Rick Perry has moved into first place among Republican voters in Iowa, host state to the first-in-the-nation caucus early next year.

A Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of those likely to participate in the Iowa GOP Caucus shows that Perry is the first choice for 29%. Essentially tied for second are Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann at 18% and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney at 17%. Texas Congressman Ron Paul picks up 14% of the vote, and nobody else currently reaches the five percent (5%) mark. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Nationally, Rick perry has a near double digit lead over his GOP Presidential primary challengers; however, in the primaries its all about how candidates do in New Hampshire, Iowa and South Carolina. Obviously, Romney leads in NH, he better. If you are the former governor of a sister New England state, if Romney do not win NH, he is finished. However, what if Perry comes in second in the Granite state primaries, wins Iowa as he leads in to the above poll and runs away with the South Carolina primary …  Perry is in a great spot at this point. Let’s see how he does in this weeks GOP Presidential Primary debate.

Is the US Postal Service Near an End … Another Casualty of Unions

“Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds” … but federal bureaucracy and Unions could certainly put an end to the US Postal Service.

The US Postal Service is near default and bankruptcy and because of decades of contractual promises made to unionized workers, including no-layoff clauses that  are increasing the post office’s costs. Who runs a business like this? The Postal Service has been a colossal disaster for years.  Add to this the fact that Postal workers receive better benefits than other federal workers. Why? The US Postal Service should not be bailed out by Congress unless they are made to do many cost containing measures like reducing services, laying off unnecessary workers, and closing locations.

The United States Postal Service has long lived on the financial edge, but it has never been as close to the precipice as it is today: the agency is so low on cash that it will not be able to make a $5.5 billion payment due this month and may have to shut down entirely this winter unless Congress takes emergency action to stabilize its finances.

“Our situation is extremely serious,” the postmaster general, Patrick R. Donahoe, said in an interview. “If Congress doesn’t act, we will default.”

In recent weeks, Mr. Donahoe has been pushing a series of painful cost-cutting measures to erase the agency’s deficit, which will reach $9.2 billion this fiscal year. They include eliminating Saturday mail delivery, closing up to 3,700 postal locations and laying off 120,000 workers — nearly one-fifth of the agency’s work force — despite a no-layoffs clause in the unions’ contracts.

Has Mareen Dowd Abandoned Barack Obama and Concluded He’s One and Done?

The rats are fleeing the ship … Obama is a One term “One”der in 2012.

Even the New York Times liberal Barack Obama cheerleader Maureen Dowd is abandoning the SS Obama. Her OPED piece references continued miscalculations and mistakes by Barack Obama along with many excuses. Dowd realizes that Obama is a mere shell of what he was in 2008 and Americans are tired of talk and speeches … they want action. How bad is it for Obama when Dowd dumps you?

The leader who was once a luminescent, inspirational force is now just a guy in a really bad spot.

His Republican rivals for 2012 have gone to town on the Labor Day weekend news of zero job growth, using the same line of attack Hillary used in 2008: Enough with the big speeches! What about some action?

Polls show that most Americans still like and trust the president; but they may no longer have faith that he’s a smarty-pants who can fix the economy.

Dowd provides more examples of a clueless Obama shooting himself in the foot. Even for liberals Obama’s actions have to have them embarrassed and pondering what the future has in store. Many on the LEFT whether they will admit it or not are frustrated with Obama and Newsbusters states, “Maybe Obama was not even the person he was waiting for”.

Obama’s re-election chances depend on painting the Republicans as disrespectful. So why would the White House act disrespectful by scheduling a speech to a joint session of Congress at the exact time when the Republicans already had a debate planned?

And why is the White House so cocky about Obama as a TV draw against quick-draw Rick Perry? As James Carville acerbically noted, given a choice between watching an Obama speech and a G.O.P. debate, “I’d watch the debate, and I’m not even a Republican.”

What will it take for all Democrats to abandoned Obama? Could it be a failed jobs speech in almost prime time?  I have long thought that when Democrats mentioned that Obama needed to be primary challenged there was only one person with the liberalism,  progressivism and clout to do so, the scream machine, Howard Dean. The Astute Blogger asks the appropriate question, can a Dean candidacy be far away?

Only 33% of Americans Took Summer Vacations … What Say You Barack Obama?

Is this the image people want of a President when Americans can’t take vacations … One Term is right around the corner Mr. President.

Why the optics of Barack Obama on vacation in Martha’s Vineyard were so damning to the “Vacationer” in Chief. As Americans struggle financially, find themselves out of work, no jobs in sight, on food stamps and believe that the country is headed in the wrong direction, their fearless leader can be seen vacationing, golfing and riding bicycles. But instead of feeling your pain, he promises Americans another jobs speech. Hasn’t he had 2+ years to make speeches and fix the economy? The natives are growing restless … needless to say.

Only 33% of Americans took vacation this year, down significantly from 41% last year in 2010 and 37% in 2009. It is too bad that President Barack Obama and the first family could not also be apart of the 33% “nocationers” as a result of the Presidents policies. As 8 in 10 Americans believe we are in a recession, individuals remain jobless, spending is out of control,  there is ZERO job recovery and unemployment remains over 9%, Barack Obama hasn’t a care in the word as he thinks nothing of it to be seen vacationing while 2/3′s of America does not. Talk about a man of the people.

Fewer adults took a summer vacation this year, and half of those that did had to cut back for economic reasons.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of American Adults shows that just 33% took a summer vacation this year. That’s down from 41% last year and 37% in 2009. Sixty-five percent (65%) of adults say they did not take go on summer vacation. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

In a poll taken prior to the summer season, 38% of American Adults planned to take a summer vacation this year, while 54% did not.

It is not that Obama cannot take a vacation, the questions is should he? What incumbent President with a job approval barely in the low 40′s, an economy spirally out of control and a reelection in 2012 would take a vacation when a majority of Americans cannot? Who would promise an important jobs speech, but not before he takes the perks of a Presidential vacation? Not taking one plane to Martha’s Vineyard, but two.

Obama disapproval rating is at a record high and it is well deserved. Most American people are asking, what has he done to deserve a vacation? Wasn’t it Obama Democrats and their minions that questioned Big Business and the Auto industry as to why they deserve private jets and bonuses? Can’t and shouldn’t the same question be asked of President Obama? What has he done to deserve a vacation on the tax payers dime? Is ist the continual +9% unemployment, the revised GDP of the 2nd qtr down to 1%, or because of the out of control US debt? Obama has shown no sign of leadership or setting an example for Americans, instead has acted like a frat boy winning the class presidency and instead of taking the job seriously, takes advantage of the perks instead.

It is as if Obama just doesn’t understand his job as President, or he is unwilling to do it. Blaming others is not a policy. A note to Barack Obama, America wants a leader not a President who’s image in golfing, riding a bike and licking an ice cream cone.

Barack Obama – President Zero: Charles Krauthammer Say on FOX News that “Obama Is President Zero – zero economic expansion, zero jobs, zero ideas on how to cure the economy.”

“He doesn’t understand that his administration has stopped the recovery in its tracks.”

We at Scared Monkeys have called Obama President Zero for quite some time, its nice to see those in the media, even at FOX News saying the same. Charles Krauthammer said on FOX News that Obama is the reason for the poor economy, not the GOP, the Tea Party. It has been Obama’s partisan  ideology, policies and politics.

Obama, not a Super Hero, but a Super Zero

Obama’s economic policies have been nothing more than an Epic Failure. Last summer Obama promised a “Summer of Recovery”. Hell, Americans are still waiting for the job recovery this summer. Americans are fed up with Obama’s promises, speeches and excuses. There is a reason why 8 in 10 Americans think we are in a recession, the Obama recession, economic growth is diminishing, job growth is nonexistent and that only 19% of Americans think the country is headed in the right direction.

Watch the VIDEO at the Gateway Pundit.

VIDEO transcript from Newsbusters.

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER, SYNDICATED COLUMNIST: That assumes the speech he thinks will turn the economy around. This is not that speech. This is to frame the debate for his reelection. This is not a serious jobs proposal. It will include things he knows Republicans will reject. And thus he sets up the premise, because his own White House has now said we are going to be nine percent up employment next year as well. The premise will be we are at nine percent on election date because the obstinate Republicans who care only about reelection and not about the country have rejected the great ideas he is proposing.

A Tale of Two Murders: Joran Van der Sloot Charged with Murder of Stephany Flores … Beth Holloway Says, “God bless the Peru authorities for handling this thoroughly and professionally”

Call it a tale of two crimes and the tale of how two countries handled the same crime in complete contrast manners. One country lets a sociopath loose on the rest if society to kill again, the other one rightfully charges him with murder and cages the criminal protecting society.

“It was the best of times (Peru), it was the worst of times (Aruba), it was the age of wisdom (Peru), it was the age of foolishness (Aruba), it was the epoch of belief (Peru), it was the epoch of incredulity (Aruba), it was the season of Light (Peru), it was the season of Darkness (Aruba), it was the spring of hope (Peru), it was the winter of despair (Aruba), we had everything before us (Peru), we had nothing before us (Aruba), we were all going direct to Heaven (Peru), we were all going direct the other way (Aruba) –in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good (Peru) or for evil (Aruba), in the superlative degree of comparison only.”

What Aruba could not, would not and never intended to do, Peru saw fit to accomplish at all cost. In Aruba they death with the death and disappearance of an American tourist Natalee Holloway where one of the suspects was a “little Dutch boy” of privilege. In Peru they dealt with the death of a 21 year old local from a prominent family. The common denominator … Joran Van der Sloot. Aruba has never charged Joran Van der Sloot with murder. Conversely, Peru has properly pursued Van der Sloot and charged the “Sporter” with murder. Sadly, had Aruba done their job, charged and convicted Joran Van der Sloot instead of enabling him,  Joran would never have been able to travel to Peru and kill again.

In a People magazine interview, Beth Holloway, the mother of Natalee Holloway, who has dealt with endless frustration, cronyism and corruption in Aruba said about the murder charges against Van der  Sloot by Peru authorities, “God bless the Peru authorities for handling this thoroughly and professionally.”

With no justice yet for her own daughter, Beth Holloway cautiously cheered yesterday’s decision by authorities in Peru to bring murder charges against Joran van der Sloot – long suspected in Natalee Holloway’s disappearance – for the murder last year of a young woman in Peru.
