Happy Anniversary Barack Obama … Two Years Ago Today Obama Celebrates Solyndra … “The true engine of economic growth will always be companies like Solyndra.” … Too Bad It’s Bankrupt

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO BARRACK OBAMA AND SOLYNDRA …

Today is the two year anniversary of President Barack Obama traveling to Freemont, CA and touting the green energy company Solyndra as a “brighter and more prosperous future”. One has to look no further as to why the US economy and job growth is in the crapper than to listen to Obama’s words of praise regarding Solyndra, ”The true engine of economic growth will always be companies like Solyndra.” Really? Obama’s shining example of “green” energy and the future did not take long to go bankrupt.

But on this day in 2010, with Solyndra already facing serious obstacles, President Obama was filled with optimism. “The true engine of economic growth will always be companies like Solyndra,” the president said.  “Less than a year ago, we were standing on what was an empty lot.  But through the Recovery Act, this company received a loan to expand its operations.  This new factory is the result of those loans.”

“We’ve placed a big emphasis on clean energy,” Obama continued.  “It’s the right thing to do for our environment, it’s the right thing to do for our national security, but it’s also the right thing to do for our economy…When it’s completed in a few months, Solyndra expects to hire a thousand workers to manufacture solar panels and sell them across America and around the world.”

Hey Barack, how is that Solyndra-greeny thing working out for you today? We have no jobs, but we got solar panel toxic waste.

It is rather comical and disingenuous that Obama and his minions attack Mitt Romney for his days at Bain Capital and failures of Bain when Obama has a laundry list of failed green energy companies on his record. Does Barack Obama really want to compare his failed “public equity” financing record versus Mitt Romney’s private equity record?

Etan Patz Murder Suspect Pedro Hernandez Arraigned on Second Degree Murder Charge … Is He Guilty or Just Another Crazy John Marc Karr Type?

KILLER OR KRAZY?

33 years after 6 year old Etan Patz went missing in 1979, 51 year old Pedro Hernandez was arraigned and charged with second degree murder. Hernandez was arraigned Friday via a video link from a hospital ward on a charge of murder.  A judge ordered Hernandez held without bail and authorized a psychological examination to see if he is fit to stand trial.

Pedro Hernandez – confessed killer

Pedro Hernandez confessed to police that he strangled to death Etan Patz in 1979. Pedro Hernandez said he lured Etan Patz, who was walking to a school bus stop by himself for the first time, into the basement of a grocery store where Hernandez worked. Hernandez then said he strangling the child and then putting his body in a bag.

So do investigators have more than a murder confession from Pedro Hernandez? The man who confessed to the murder of Etan Patz has a history of being crazy. As reported at the NY Post, Hernandez had confessed years ago to the crime, but the police deemed him too crazy.Although, the police have denied that Hernandez ever confessed to killing Patz any time before Wednesday.

Etan Patz’s alleged killer tried to confess to cops years ago that he had murdered the long-missing 6-year-old — but he was dismissed as a nutjob and detectives never followed through, the suspect’s sister told The Post yesterday.

“Every time the anniversary of that little boy came up on TV, I would say, ‘Why doesn’t he turn himself in?’ ” recalled Lucy Suarez, 43, the youngest sister of Pedro Hernandez.

“And my sister said, ‘He did, but the police let him go because they said he was too crazy,’ ” Suarez said.

Sources yesterday also revealed that five days after Etan disappeared, cops saw Hernandez at the bodega, where one of the owners explained away his presence by noting he was merely his brother-in-law. There is no record that police ever interviewed Hernandez that day about Etan.

So the question remains, is Pedro Hernandez really guilty of murdering Etan Patz or is he just a crazy lunatic? Hernandez’ court-appointed lawyer, Harvey Fishbein, stated to the judge during the arraignment that his client is bipolar, schizophrenic and has a “history of hallucinations, both visual and auditory.” So did Pedro Hernandez really commit this crime or is he another John Marc Karr? For those who have forgot, John Marc Karr confessed to killing JonBenet Ramsey. The only thing that might have been more crazy than the media circus surrounding the confessed killer was John Marc Karr himself. In the end prosecutors never charged Karr with the murder because their was not a DNA match.

So does the prosecution have more evidence than is presently known? Has Hernandez confessed to things and provided details of the murder than have never been disclosed and only the killer would know? That remains to be seen. There are many challenges ahead to convict Pedro Hernandez.

Miller says that now prosecutors have to build their case with police to defend Hernandez’s confession, which the defense lawyer has already started attacking with claims of hallucinations and bipolar disease.

“I think that that is Defense 101,” Miller said. “You have a guy that gives a clear, compelling, detailed confession, you going to have to either say that he was tricked into doing it or that he was making it up, and I think they’re beginning to forge that path.”

Miller said that, despite the confession, prosecutors will need more.

UPDATE I: From the NY Times comes, the police have their man and a confession to a 33 year old crime, now they must prove that Pedro Hernandez did what he claimed he did. Ann Althouse asks the question that many have since the confession of Pedro Hernandez, “People want to believe that at long last, we have the answer and a man to punish, but do we really know?”

It should be a detective’s dream come true. The police have their man, their investigation sewn up with a tidy bow of his own damning words.

Far from it, for now the police must try to prove that he did what he said he did. And in the case of the suspect, Pedro Hernandez, and the boy, Etan Patz, that is not going to be easy. In many ways, this confession is a worst-case scenario of corroboration, starting with the body.

With no DNA evidence, no real crime scene and no body what are they to do?

Detectives have most likely returned to Mr. Hernandez’s story.

“You always go back for more detail, more detail, more detail,” Mr. Geberth said. “The confession is usually devoid of a lot of facts. They just want to get it out. Once it’s out, the barrier has been crossed.” The need to confess behind him, the suspect may relax. “Get him something to eat, something to drink. ‘By the way, did you speak to anybody? Did you go to work the next day, or take the day off?’ Important things.”

More Records for Obama & Obamanomics: Record Low for High School Student Jobs and Record High for Those Working Past Age 65

Hey America, Three plus years into the Obama Presidency, How’s that “Hopey-Changey” thing working out for ya? More records for Obama and jobs … 

Parents, are you finding it difficult for your high school kids to get summer jobs? You are not alone. Thanks to the Barack Obama job recovery we can add two more records to his list of accomplishments, the young workers are getting squeezed out of the market because positions are being filled by older workers. Making matters worse, the elderly cannot afford to retire. As reported at the Washington Times, according to the National Center for Education Statistics the high school job market has hit its lowest level in 20 years. The jobs once held by young high school kids are now being taken by those older than them who have been forced to take lesser positions thanks to the so-called Obama job recovery. A meager 16% of high school age kids are now employed as opposed to 32% in 1990.

The American job market is no place for students as the number of employed high schoolers has hit its lowest level in more than 20 years, according to new figures from the National Center for Education Statistics.

In 1990, 32 percent of high school students held jobs, versus just 16 percent now. Blame their elders.

Sectors that traditionally have offered teens their first paying gig — fast-food chains, movie theaters, malls and big-box retailers — have now become the last resorts for out-of-work college graduates or older Americans forced back into the labor force out of sheer financial necessity. The resulting squeeze has left students on the outside looking in.

John Edwards Campaign Finance Case: Female Alternate Juror Flirts With The Breck Girl, John Edwards

This heel was that close to being President … John Edwards trying to out Clinton, Bill Clinton. John Edwards, facing as much as 30 years in prison and fined as much as $1.5 million, uses the court room as a pick up joint. The term “smarmy” comes to mind.

Alternate worlds: What is wrong with some woman? Note to female jurors, I think you can find a better catch than a man who would cheat on his wife and have a baby out of wedlock with his mistress as his wife Elizabeth Edwards was dying of cancer. Add to the mix, John Edwards has obviously learned much from his days of getting caught cheating on his wife.

As Memorial Day weekend is upon us, the jurors deliberating in the John Edwards campaign finance case where Edwards is accused of using nearly $1 million in campaign donations to hide his affair with his mistress Rielle Hunter, have been sent home. However, not without some controversy. The judge cleared the court room to discuss what was described as a juror issue. I would appear that a female alternate juror has been flirting with Edwards. Making matters even more sleazy, Edwards has reciprocated the flirtation.  It is rather amazing, no make that disgusting, that a man who could not keep it in his pants and is facing felony charges because of it still is such a schmuck that he would think flirting with a juror at his own trial is acceptable behavior.

Since the alternates were identified last Thursday, it has been impossible to ignore the dynamic between Edwards and one of the female alternates, an attractive young woman with jet-black hair, who seems to have been flirting with Edwards for days.

The juror clearly instigated the exchanges. She smiles at him.   He smiles  politely back at her. She giggles.  He blushes.

Good grief, what is the issue … send the idiot home for good as this is hardly conduct that should be allowed by an impartial jurist.

Gallup Poll: Joe Biden’s Favorability Rating Sinks as Low as His Recent Incoherant Attacks

Uncle Joe underwater with favorability/unfavoribility with “We the People”.

What are the odds that there is a correlation between Vice President Joe Biden’s sudden “unfavoribility” and his incoherent rants and attacks on Mitt Romney and Bain Capital at the bequest of the Obama reelect campaign? According to a recent Gallup poll,  Biden suddenly finds himself with a all time low of 42% and a 45% unfavoribility. Most glaring in the Gallup poll is that Independents have a 37/47 favorability of Biden.

Americans are about equally likely to have a favorable (42%) as an unfavorable (45%) view of Joe Biden, which has been the case for most of his tenure as U.S. vice president. Americans were much more positive than negative toward Biden from the time he was chosen as Barack Obama’s running mate through the first several months of the Obama administration.

The May 10-13 USA Today/Gallup poll marks the first time opinions of Biden have tilted negative since he became Obama’s vice presidential pick, but they are not materially different from the closely divided but still net positive ratings of Biden from October 2009-March 2011.

As The Weekly Standard asks, how does a negative favorability help Obama in 2012? However, the reason why Biden has an underwater “favorability rating” is because of Obama and his scorched earth 2012 reelect theme.  The more Obama and Biden attack capitalism and what made America great, the more people are really beginning to question what these two are all about. Both Obama and attack dog Biden are coming off as angry as all they can do is divide and rant about others as they certainly cannot run on their record.

Making matters even worse, Biden not popular in swing states either. Much buzz has been made that Biden should be replaced and Hillary Clinton added to the Obama 2012 Presidential ticket. Never going to happen. Barack Obama would never admit that his image could be dragged down by Biden and would certainly never admit he needed Bill & Hillary’s help for reelection. Obama is all in with Biden.

In the 12 swing states likely to determine the outcome of the presidential election, only 40% of registered voters view Biden favorably, while 54% view him unfavorably. These numbers are worse than President Obama’s who is seen favorably by 50% of registered voters in those same states and unfavorably by 49%.

The 12 swing states in the poll are Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. These states are all considered too close to call for the November election.

And the Hits Keep on Coming … Barack Obama Appeared at 1996 Event Hosted By Socialist Group in Chicago

Question: Why would someone appear at an event hosted by a Socialist group if one was not one themselves?

File this story under if it walks like a socialist and talks like a socialist and has an ad for a socialist event … it must be a socialist. As reported at the Buzz Feed and the Gateway Pundit, Barack Obama headlined a Democrat Socialists of America town hall meeting in Chicago in 1996. I can only imagine how Obama and his minions will spin this.

Obama was listed on a panel sponsored by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), University of Chicago Democrats, and University of Chicago DSA. He also supported gay marriage back then.

Things that make you go hmm … I guess it was just an oversight by the MSM that they never came across this flier when Barack Obama should have been vetted in 2008. The Gateway Pundit opines, “So, really… Can we call him a socialist now?”  More from Weasel Zippers, “And all this time we’ve been lectured up and down by pundits on both the right and left how it’s wrong to call Obama a Socialist”.

Was Missing 20th Century Fox Executive Gavin Smith Reported Spotted this Month at a Morro Bay, CA Restaurant?

MISSING?

57 year old 20th Century Fox executive Gavin Smith has been missing since May 1, 2012 in Los Angeles, CA county. Smith was last seen between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. Tuesday leaving a friend’s house in Oak Park, CA. According to the LA Times, a man says he saw the missing Gavin Smith this month at a restaurant in Morro Bay. On the night of May 7th, Gavin Smith was said to have been seen at the Taco Temple with a woman.

A man says he spotted missing 20th Century Fox executive Gavin Smith this month at a Morro Bay restaurant.

David Bill, a Madison, Wis., native who frequently travels to the central California coast on business, told NBC4 he’s “almost certain” he saw a man May 7 matching Smith’s description with a woman at Taco Temple on Pacific Coast Highway.

“The next morning in the office, I noticed on the Yahoo main page that there was a news link to a missing Hollywood executive,” he told the TV station. “I happened to click on the link, saw the photo and said, ‘Oh boy, that’s the guy I saw in the restaurant the previous night.’ “

Hmm, maybe Gavin Smith is not missing, but just does not want to be found.

Investigators ask anyone with information to call (323) 890-5500 or Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS.

Obama DOJ Forces University of Arkansas- Fort Smith to Allow 38 Year Old Male Jennifer Braly To Access Women’s Restrooms

WHAT THE HELL HAS THIS COUNTRY COME TO UNDER BARACK OBAMA? BARACK OBAMA’S WAR ON REAL WOMAN … HE’S A MAN, BABY. WELCOME TO CIVIL RIGHTS UNDER OBAMA.

The Eric Holder/Barack Obama DOJ can’t seem to find it in themselves to prosecute the New Black Panther Party for obvious voter intimidation, yet they have no issue with forcing the University of Arkansas – Fort Smith to allow a 38 year old student access the the woman’s restroom. WTF!!! This Administration allows the extreme to be normal and the normal to be persecuted.

Just curious, when did a man peeing standing up and wearing a dress become a Civil Rights issue? That is what the Obama-Holder DOJ finds important.

A letter from the Department of Justice (DOJ) caused the University of Arkansas at Ft. Smith (UAFS) early this month to reverse policy and allow a 38-year old anatomically male-student permanent use of women’s bathrooms on campus despite opposition from female students.

The university made the reversal on “advice of counsel” after receiving a letter the DOJ sent in response to a complaint that a single, self proclaimed “transgender” student filed with the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division.

“Because of the stance we took, the individual filed a complaint with the Office of Civil Rights in the Department of Justice,” Mark Horn who is the vice president of university relations explained in an interview with Campus Reform on Tuesday.

Jennifer Braly, the student who filed the complaint, calls himself “transgender” with a “gender identity disorder.” Braly, however, remains anatomically a man and is currently raising money online for Sex Reassignment Surgery (SRS).

This is what America has become under Obama in Wonderland. If you are a man, dress up like a woman and say that you think you are a woman, that allows you access to the woman’s restroom. How sick and perverted has this country become under Obama? So any perv that claims this gets access. Nice precedent idiots. The university even went so far as to offer to convert more current bathrooms into gender-neutral restrooms. That was not good enough for Jennifer Braly.

From The Daily Caller:

“I am frustrated and highly depressed about all of these unfair restrictions,” Braly explained in an online appeal for sex-change surgery donations. “I live as a woman full time and have been for a year and a half now. I have natural breast development bigger than some normal girls from the hormone treatment. The only thing restricting me is what’s between my legs. Everyone is so concerned with what’s between my legs. I am just as much woman as anyone else.”

Sorry, but until this “IT” has the operation … IT is still a man and should be considered so. You do not get to claim you are a transgender women if you still got a man’s plumbing. Not under this freak show Obama administration. Let’s embarrass real woman at the hands of a dude who thinks he is a girl.

Who just can’t wait to flush Barack Obama and the rest of the BS out of the White House? They cannot leave soon enough. Everything these people do is an abomination.

Unreal Even for Bill Clinton, Slick Willie Poses for Pic with Porn Stars Brooklyn Lee & Tasha Reign … AVN’s “Best New Starlets” Diane Kruger, Joshua Jackson in Monaco (Update: Clinton Called Them Over)

Once again it all depends what is, is … or who is a porn star is. 

Former President Bill Clinton just can’t help himself. Clinton, who embarrassed himself and disgraced the office of the US Presidency with his “I did not have sexual relations with that woman” Monica Lewinsky sex scandal might have just raised the bar. TMZ is reporting that the former President posed for pics in Monaco with two babes. One might say, OK, that seems rather benign for Bill Clinton. However, not so fast … the two woman that Bill Clinton took the picture with were porn stars,  AVN’s “Best New Starlets” Diane Kruger, Joshua Jackson.

It’s good to be a former President …

Clinton’s in a Monte Carlo casino right now for a special “Nights in Monaco” gala event — and several celebrities are in attendance … including Diane Kruger, Joshua Jackson … and a BUNCH OF PORN STARS.

The two porn stars on Bill’s arms are Tasha Reign (left) and Brooklyn Lee — AVN’s “Best New Starlet” in porn.

Brooklyn — who just posted the pic on her Twitter account — also just won the award for “Best Sex Scene” in “Mission Asspossible.” As for Tasha’s film credits … those include “Baby Got Boobs 8″ and “Farm Girls Gone Bad.”

The best line of all reporting on this story comes from the Daily Caller … “Almost fifteen years later, Bill still doesn’t know how to steer clear of a woman in a blue dress.” Classic!

Check out TMZ for the pic. GOOD GRIEF … what are the odds that there would be porn stars at an event that Bill Clinton was attending. Go figure.

Why am I thinking I should have just made this a caption content?

UPDATE I: TMZ interviews the two adult porn stars … He called us over. Nah, cuz Bill Clinton would never do anything like that, not one time, never.  Porn star Tasha Reign went on to say,“We feel sympathetic for Bill and I hope this doesn’t hurt his reelection or whatever he’s trying to run for.” Um, his reelection chances? Obviously the two porn stars were at the Monaco fundraiser for their current event skills.

He kind of was looking over at us every once in awhile. And we’re huge, psycho fans of Bill. We just think he’s really cute,” porn star Brooklyn Lee said. “So we end up wandering by. And we were going to approach him to take a picture and his Secret Service sort of brushed us away. And as we were walking away, Bill actually had the Secret Service guy call us back, to come hang out.”

A leopard never changes its spots.

ABC News goes on to report that the porn stars stated that Clinton never asked them their profession, but then again Clinton knows all about plausible deniability and ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’.

The two were uncertain, but hopeful, that Clinton knew who they were–or at least their occupation.

“I kind of feel like he knows,” Lee said. “We hope he likes us and we hope he likes to watch our movies.” Reign concurred: “I have a feeling that everyone watches adult entertainment.”

Another Obama Record … Under Barack Obama, 30 Worst Months of Employment in the Past 25 Years

OBAMANOMICS: WOW, yet another record for President Barack Obama to be proud of …

From The Weekly Standard comes Barack Obama’s dismal record on employment and job recover … Obama has 30 of the worst employment months in the past 25 years. Ever wonder why Obama wants to distract from his terrible record over the past 4 years? Look no further than the fact that the 30, or 32, including ties, worst months for employment in the past 25 years have all come after the most recent recession ended, in June 2009 in the time during the Obama “recovery.”

The federal government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes monthly tallies for the employment-population ratio.  That stat shows something rather straightforward:  Among those who are living in America and are free to pursue employment, what percentage are employed?  (The bureau excludes those who are under 16 years old, are active-duty military, or are — in the bureau’s own words — “inmates of institutions (for example, penal and mental facilities, homes for the aged),” from its tallies.)

Over the past quarter of a century (a total of 300 months), dating back to May 1987 and the Reagan administration, here are the 30 worst months (that is, the bottom 10 percent) for the employment-population ratio, along with the president who happened to be in office at that particular time (scroll down to the see the list):

A record number of Americans are no longer in the workforce under Obama, another record to be proud of.

Really America … do you honestly think that Obama deserves reelection? He cannot blame this one on Bush, these disastrous employment months came during the Obama job recovery period.
