Hank Williams Jr. Sacked From MNF Over Obama-Hitler Remark … Are You Ready for Some ESPN Double Standards?

Yet another individual loses their job under Obama’s Presidency.

Yesterday morning Hank Williams Jr. remarks on FOX & Friends when he compared Obama and Boehner golfing  the equivalent of Hitler and Netanyahu. Needless to say it did not take long for ESPN to sack the voice of  the intro to Monday Night Football.

How dare any media outlet let anyone say anything against their “Chosen One, ESPN promptly sacked Hank Williams Jr., pulled his famous “Are you ready for some football” intro and gave him his pink slip. Yet another individual losing their job at the hands of Barack Obama.

Hank Williams Jr., the voice famous for asking millions of viewers if they’re ready for some football, has been pulled from Monday’s broadcast of “Monday Night Football” over a comment he made on Fox News this morning.

Williams, who sings the lead-in to the game each week, criticized the president for his golf summit with House Speaker John Boehner this summer.

“It would be like Hitler playing golf with (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu,” Williams told “Fox & Friends.”

Anchor Gretchen Carlson later said to him, “You used the name of one of the most hated people in all of the world to describe, I think, the president.” Williams replied, “Well, that is true. But I’m telling you like it is.”

USA Today, among others, picked up the quote, speculating on whether the comparison would get Williams booted from the broadcast.

ESPN released the following statement.

“While Hank Williams, Jr. is not an ESPN employee, we recognize that he is closely linked to our company through the open to Monday Night Football. We are extremely disappointed with his comments, and as a result we have decided to pull the open from tonight’s telecast.”

However, as stated by Dana Loesch at Big Government, nice double standard ESPN … would Hank Williams Jr have been safe if his comments were one’s against Sarah Palin? Let’s get the facts straight that even the neophytes at Fox & friends could not do … Williams did not call Obama Hitler. That task  is the job of the LEFT as they have continuously done it to the GOP and Tea Party. The comparison was a stretch, but he was using HYPERBOLE.

How toxic has President Barack Obama truly become. Obama is the most partisan President ever and his toxicity has now permeated sports as well. For 20 years Hank Williams Jr has been synonymous with MNF, not any more and low and behold, where there is a drastic change to Americana … Barack Obama can’t be far behind. ESPN pulls the intro.

As stated by the Lonely Conservative, ESPN is certainly free to do what ever they wish; however, having one standard fit all might be a bit appropriate. But of course that would be asking too much that some how a poorly constructed analogy of the partisanship in DC is some how a greater offense than fantasy rape of a female Republican.

What it does show … how divisive Barack Obama has made this country. Maybe ESPN can get the Dixie Chicks to do their intro now.

Real Hope & Change … A Majority of Americans Expect Obama to Lose in 2012

Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus …

A majority of Americans expect Barack Obama is be a one term President. In a recent ABC-Washington Post poll, only 37% believe that Obama will be reelected in 2012, while 55% expect “The One” to be a one termer.What is most damning in this poll is that only 36% of Independents think he will win reelection, while 54% expect a GOP candidate to win. How bad is it for Obama when only 58% of Democrats expect Obama to win in 2012?

Just 37 percent in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll say they expect Obama to win re-election in November 2012; 55 percent instead expect the eventual Republican nominee to win. ABC’s George Stephanopoulos is asking the president about that result in an interview today.

It’s a challenging finding for the president because expectations can fuel voter enthusiasm – precisely the ingredient that led the GOP to its broad success in the 2010 midterms, when charged-up conservatives turned out while dispirited Democrats stayed home.

It does not take a brain surgeon, only a nonpartisan Obama supporter, to figure out that “We the People” are not better off today than we were before Barack Obama took office.Talk about desperation, Obama is calling himself the underdog in 2012. Please, Obama has the strength of the Presidency, the White House and the liberal MSM. Talk about setting the bar low. Then again, we should be used to it from the 9.1% unemployment, record deficit, record budget and record food stamp President.

President Obama said he will “absolutely” be the underdog in the 2012 election and admitted Americans are “not better off” than they were four years ago in an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Tuesday.

“I think what we’ve seen is we’ve made steady progress to help the economy,” the president said, but the unemployment rate, currently at over 9 percent, remains “way too high.” He said his American Jobs Act will give “more consumers more confidence” and lead to much-needed economic growth.

As Weasil Zippers stated, who know that we could get a tingly feeling running up our leg, but the words Obama and one term in the same senstence certainly make that a reality.

Underdog? With all due respect Mr. President, you are not an underdog … you are a President who the American people have rejected soundly. Your economic policies have made matters worse, not better. Your big government, over regulations and green jobs efforts have failed miserably. You stated that you would reach across the aisle and have done nothing of the sort. At this point, even Democrats at looking to distance themselves from you.

Forget the Rhetoric & Class Warfare … Take a Look at Obama By the Numbers

America, how’s that “Hopey, Changey” stuff working out for you?

Forget the Obama rhetoric, forget the Obama class warfare, forget the constant name calling and blame that Obama and his minions target the GOP and Tea Party with … From the Ace of Spades, just take a good look at Barack Obama through the numbers.  We all the that the present state of affairs of the economy is terrible and Obama has been an epic failure as president; however, when you just take a good look at the actual numbers under Barack Obama … its worse than you even imagined.

Check out the numbers that include poverty rate, unemployment, inflation, health insurance premiums, food stamp usage, average housing prices, national debt, deficit, etc. Are you better off under President Barack Obama? The numbers do not lie, although he might. Remember the numbers in 2012!

American Student Amanda Knox Makes Tearful Plea for Acquittal of Murdering her British Roommate in Italy (UPDATE: Knox Freed, Appeals Court Jury Acquitts)

American student Amanda Knox made a tearful plea for acquittal today in an Italian court in the murder of her British roommate. Fighting back the tear, Amanda Knox made her final pleas of innocence  to  influence the appeals panel. The appeals verdict is expected later today, Monday evening.

American student Amanda Knox made a tearful plea on Monday to be acquitted of murdering her British roommate during a brutal erotic game, saying she was paying with her life for a crime she did not commit.

“I am the same person I was four years ago,” said Knox, visibly shaking and fighting to hold back tears. “I am not what they say I am,” she said, seeking to rebut prosecution suggestions that she was a manipulative, sex-mad “she-devil.”

“I lost a friend, in the most brutal and inexplicable way possible. My absolute faith in the police authorities was betrayed, I’ve had to face absolutely unfair … and baseless accusations. I am paying with my life for things I did not commit.”

Stay tune later for updates on the verdict …

UPDATE I: Its official … Amanda Knox freed by Appeals Court Jury.

24 year old Amanda Knox is a free woman as she was acquitted by an appeals court jury today. American student Amanda Knox had been convicted by an Italian court for the 2007 murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher.  Knox collapsed in tears following ther verdict. Knox’s ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito was also acquitted of murder charges.

The jury had two options to acquit: determining there wasn’t enough evidence to uphold the conviction or that the pair simply didn’t commit the crime. The jury determined the latter, clearing Knox and Sollecito completely.

After briefly returning to prison for a formal discharge, Knox was seen being driven away in a convoy. Rocco Girlanda, an Italian lawmaker who is close to the Knox family, said she planned to leave Italy on Tuesday.

In court, the Kercher family looked on grimly as the verdict was read out by the judge after 11 hours of deliberations by the eight-member jury.

Priceless … Even Warren Buffett Does not Support Obama’s “Buffett” Rule

IT WOULD APPEAR THAT OBAMA AND BUFFETT HAVE A DIFFERENT DEFINITION AS TO WHO IS CONSIDERED RICH AND WHO SHOULD BE PAYING MORE TAXES.

How disingenuous is President Barack Obama on jobs and the economy? Even billionaire Warren Buffett does not endorse Obama’s “Buffett Rule”. Buffett was not referring to individuals making $50 millions, he was referring to ultra-rich. As Buffett said, he was only referring to about 50,000 people … not Americans who make $250 K a year.  Heck, Buffett does not even think those that make $50 million a year are rich.

From Real Clear Politics:

CNBC: “Are you happy that the way it is being described. Is the program that the White House has presented a million dollars and over your program? ”

Warren Buffett: “Well, the precise program which will — I don’t know what their program will be. My program would be on the very high incomes that are taxed very low. Not just high incomes. Somebody making $50 million a year playing baseball, his taxes won’t change. Make $50 million a year appearing on television, his income won’t change. But, if they make a lot of money and pay a very low tax rate, like me, it would be changed by a minimum tax that would only bring them up to what other people pay.”

CNBC: “Does that mean you disagree with the president’s new jobs proposal which would be paid for by raising taxes on households with incomes of over $250,000.”

Buffett: “That’s another program that I won’t be discussing. My program is to have a tax on ultra-rich people who are very tax rates. Not just all rich people.

However, in typical fashion, Barack Obama has taken a plan form someone and “bastardized” it.  Because I always get $250,000 and $500,000,000 confused all of the time.  Buffett never intended to tax millionaires more, he was referring to a select group of ultra, ultra rich … but Obama never met a tax increase he didn’t like and looks to put indivuals who make $250 K in the same class as the uber-rich.

UPDATE I: This post was done after the Buffett fundraiser that is referenced in the above VIDEO. Needless to say the fundraiser was a bust and described as a disappointment.

More Leftist Insanity … Roseanne Barr Wants to Behead Bankers & Rich Who Won’t Give Up Wealth

Not only are liberals like Roseanne Barr insane … its appears she is also viscous and murderous.  How foolish is Roseanne Barr, she wants to show children proper morals be not letting the guilty rich get away with murder, by, you guessed it … murdering them. Watch Barr’s insane rant at Real Clear Politics. Hollywood leftists moonbats trying to teach our children about morals, priceless.

“Part of my platform is, of course, the guilty must be punished and that we no longer let our children see their guilty leaders getting away with murder. Because it teaches children, you know, that they don’t have to have any morals as long as they have guns and are bullies and I don’t think that’s a good message,” Barr told Russia Today (RT).

“I do say that I am in favor of the return of the guillotine and that is for the worst of the worst of the guilty.

“I first would allow the guilty bankers to pay, you know, the ability to pay back anything over $100 million [of] personal wealth because I believe in a maximum wage of $100 million. And if they are unable to live on that amount of that amount then they should, you know, go to the reeducation camps and if that doesn’t help, then being beheaded,” Barr said with a straight face.

More at Strata-Sphere and the prediction that this is just the beginning of the libs losing their minds knowing the pending political losses they face in the not too distant future.

SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE, … They Just Can’t Help It, Democrats Push for Tax Hikes First in Deficit Talks

As reported by Reuters,Democrats on the deficit reduction “super-committee” want to talk tax hikes first. Does this really come as a shock to anyone and just proves what a stupid idea this was in the first place. What a surprise, Democrats want to discuss raising taxes. is there ever a time that Democrats don’t want to raise taxes on Americans?

Democrats want tax hikes to be the first item negotiated in “super committee” deficit-reduction talks, trying to force Republicans to confront an issue at the heart of this year’s budget fights, sources told Reuters.

The tough stance by Democratic members of the powerful 12-member congressional panel reflects the party’s wariness that Republicans might try to sideline the issue of revenue increases in the negotiations.

“They’ve raised the idea of doing taxes first,” a Republican aide involved in the discussions said on Friday on condition of anonymity.

As stated at the American Thinker, there is so much out of control spending by the US government, raising taxes is not the answer … there have to be reductions in spending at all levels. The question is who has the guts to do it?

Consider: Over the next 10 years the federal government will spend over $40 trillion. The idea that there is not $1.2 trillion out of that mind boggling sum to cut without raising taxes a dime is beyond belief. There is probably 5 times that amount that could be cut without raising taxes – if we had a congress and political parties with the spine to do it.
