The MSM Double Standard on High Gas Prices for Obama … Remember When it was a Negative for Bush?

THE MSM – OBAMA DOUBLE STANDARD CONTINUES, THEY ARE ALL IN ON OBAMA PROPAGANDA …

When Barack Obama became President of the United States gas prices were at a national average of $1.84 a gallon. Flash forward to present day and the national gas average is $3.89.  However, what was a negative news story for George W. Bush and the increasing gas prices is not even close to the same story spewed by the liberal MSM. Go figure.

Hot Air points out the continues and obvious bias media coverage of high gas prices under President Obama and former President GWB. Isn’t amazing that under GWB the media stated that the high gas prices were going to affect him and the GOP in the 2006 midterms. Guess what, they did. However, gas prices are at all time highs for this time of the year and that same bias MSM states that Obama cannot affect the gas prices and its not his fault. It gets worse, the MSM is actually portraying high gas prices as a positive. The truth of the matter is high gas prices will affect the 2012 elections for Obama and all Democrats.

Tim Graham outlined the differences between media coverage of high gas prices under George W. Bush and gas prices under Barack Obama. Bet you can guess which president received more leniency!

This really isn’t a hard or complicated issue to understand. A wide variety of factors contribute to the price of gas. The president doesn’t have control over all of them — but he does have significant control over energy policy in the United States and energy policy is one of the factors that contributes to the price of gas …

NewsBusters has the full transcript:

TIM GRAHAM: Certainly in 2006, George W. Bush got a much harsher press. It was really kind of funny because they were saying that things were going to go really badly for Bush in the midterm elections, which of course they did. But when gas prices went down in the fall of 2006, then Katie Couric did story where she basically said, “Is this an oil industry plot to drop the gas prices before the elections?” They just assume whatever spin that they can find. Yeah. The front page of New York Times this morning? “U.S. Inches Towards Goal of Energy Independence.”

Gallup Poll Shows Once Again Obama on Wrong Side of the Issue With Americans … 57% in Favor of Keystone XL Pipeline … Obama Suddenly for Pipeline Construction

The “Lying” King … Obama was for the Keystone XL pipeline, before he was against it.

The Green President is suddenly for the building of an oil pipeline as high gas prices become a major concern for Obama in 2012. Just curious, how can Obama state that he is expediting a project by rejecting it? As stated at the Heritage Foundation,  “If the president were concerned with the country’s oil supply, his State Department shouldn’t have rejected the larger pipeline project?”

It is the story of the Barack Obama Presidency … Obama once again finds himself on the wrong side of the issue with a majority of Americans. As President Barack Obama heads out on his faux energy tour trying to show Americans that he is the “Energy” President in the face of escalating gas prices … 57% of Americans are in favor of the Keystone XL Pipeline. Obama finds himself in a heap of trouble as Republicans and Independents are strongly in favor of the building of the pipeline. Even Democrats by a 44% for 38 against, are in favor of the Keystone XL Pipeline.

A solid majority of Americans think the U.S. government should approve of building the Keystone XL pipeline, while 29% think it should not. Republicans are almost twice as likely as Democrats to want the government to approve the oil pipeline. About half of independents also approve

This can explain why Obama felt the need to flat out lie to the American public and portray himself as being in favor of the building of the Keystone XL Pipeline.Obama actually had the audacity to do a photo-op  appearing before a backdrop of oil pipelines in Cushing, OK where the Obamamessiah stated that he was making the construction of the southern portion of the pipeline a priority through an executive order.

The War on Republican Women … The Double Standard in the War Against Women … Bristol Palin Asks Where Her Phone Call is Barack Obama?

Some times politicians might want to rethink their comments and pandering. Don’t ask for things they might come true …

Democrats have long been known for their attacks on Republicans and comments stating that the GOP has a war on women. Really? Thanks to Rush Limbaugh and the “slutgate” scandal that Democrat politicians, the MSM and the Far LEFT latched onto, it also exposed the hypocrisy and double standard of the LEFT. President Barack Obama called Sandra Fluke; however, Bristol Palin is still waiting for her phone call.

You don’t know my telephone number, but I hope your staff is busy trying to find it. Ever since you called Sandra Fluke after Rush Limbaugh called her a slut, I figured I might be next.  You explained to reporters you called her because you were thinking of your two daughters, Malia and Sasha.  After all, you didn’t want them to think it was okay for men to treat them that way:

“One of the things I want them to do as they get older is engage in issues they care about, even ones I may not agree with them on,” you said.  “I want them to be able to speak their mind in a civil and thoughtful way. And I don’t want them attacked or called horrible names because they’re being good citizens.”

But here’s why I’m a little surprised my phone hasn’t rung.  Your $1,000,000 donor Bill Maher has said reprehensible things about my family.  He’s made fun of my brother because of his Down’s Syndrome. He’s said I was “f—-d so hard a baby fell out.”  (In a classy move, he did this while his producers put up the cover of my book, which tells about the forgiveness and redemption I’ve found in God after my past – very public — mistakes.) (Read the full letter here)

The RNC has released the VIDEO below that is reminding voters of the Obama administration’s track record when it comes to women. Of course the MSM would never really press Obama or his minions on it.

The Lonely Conservative asks whether the Democrats really want to pursue this topic of a war on woman? Not when there are so many examples of Democrat men behaving badly. Also, the glaring double standard that there is an open season on Republican and Conservative woman, but anyone who agrees with Obama is off limits.

Honestly, how can President Barack Obama actually make comments about his daughter Sasha and Malia. Obama has never lead by example and would not know a “teachable” moment if it bit him in the butt. Sorry, but how does a President with two daughters that he is supposed to be setting an example for take money from an individual who makes a living off of a “war on certain woman”? So Obama’s message to his daughters and the female population of America is, I will defend you only if you agree with me. NICE.

WOMEN OF AMERICA, TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT OBAMA LEADING BY EXAMPLE

The Daily Caller answers the question as to why Palin will continue to wait for the phone to ring … “Well, that was different, because he [Obama] didn’t see any short-term political advantage in it.

Obama’s Folks Feeling the Hypocrisy Backlash … David Axelrod Bails on Bill Maher & HBO ‘Real Time” Appearance

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA FINDS HIMSELF WITH A DOUBLE STANDARD AND HYPOCRISY PROBLEM …

Looks like the Obama Administration is feeling the backlash of their going overboard and inconsistent approach when it comes to males making disgusting comments toward woman. In the wake of the Rush Limbaugh-Sandra Fluke controversy, the bringing to light the reprehensible and disgusting things that Leftist Bill Maher said about Sarah Palin and other women and the fact that Maher gave $1 million to Barack Obama’s SuperPAC … David Axelrod bails on Bill Maher and cancels his appearance on HBO’s ‘Real Time’.

Hard to take the high moral ground when you accept $1 million from the likes of this …

David Axelrod will not be appearing as a guest on “Real Time with Bill Maher,” despite reports last week that he was scheduled to do the show in the next few weeks.

“He’s not scheduled to go on at this time,” said Ben LaBolt, the press secretary for President Obama’s reelection campaign.

Maher, who donated $1 million to the pro-Obama super PAC Priorities USA, has increasingly become a target of right-wing attacks over the last week in response to the left’s attacks on Rush Limbaugh. Maher has come under fire for calling Sarah Palin a “c**t” during his stand-up act and a “dumb tw**t” on his HBO show, among other sexist comments.

Obviously the pressure is mounting on Barack Obama and the hypocrisy of his campaign in his selective outrage when it comes to defending woman. President Obama called fellow liberal Demcorat Sandra Fluke after she was called a “slut”. However, not only was there no call to Sarah Palin from Obama when she was called a “C” and “T” word by Maher … Barack Obama’s Super PAC accepted $1 million from Maher and has refused to return it. Now we see one of Obama’s loudest mouth pieces running from Maher with his hair on fire.  The Obama campaign just blinked. As stated at Jammie Wearing Fool, it looks like Axelrod is having second thoughts about appearing with Maher. Think other politicians might be doing the same in the future? Look to see more pressure brought to bare against Obama and the “dirty money” his Super PAC accepted. This story is now going to go away.

Former Florida Democrat US Rep. Alan Grayson Runs Red Light in his Benz, Hits Bus and Injures Two on Way to Fund Raiser

Alan Grayson wants to injure public transportation passengers quickly …

Former Democrat Florida US Representative Alan Grayson was involved in a MVA when the Mercedes he was driving in downtown Orlando, FL ran a red light, hit a Lynx bus and injured two passengers. I wonder if the roles were reversed whether Grayson would have said that the GOP was trying to run over the poor quickly? Just saying.

Investigators said Grayson was driving a Mercedes, when he ran a red light and hit the bus.

Police and a campaign representative said Grayson and his passenger were not hurt. Two people aboard the bus claimed they suffered minor injuries and were taken to a hospital.

Authorities said the crash is under investigation, and it’s not known yet what type of citation or charges may be filed.

Wow, check out the damage to Grayson’s Benz.

Remember when former Florida Democrat House Representative Alan Grayson said that Republicans wanted old people to “die quickly?” Grayson may want to comment about the health care of the passengers of the bus he injured.  Who wants to injure people Mr. Grayson? Michelle Malkin reminds us of the hypocrisy of Alan “I support the Occupy protesters” Grayson. The fact can’t be lost that Grayson was diving one of those 1%’ers Mercedes Benz and was rushing off to a fundraiser to mingle amongst the 1%’ers.  Of course the irony of Grayson hitting a public bus with a Mercedes Benz is not lost here either.

Grayson’s campaign event stated it was scheduled from noon until 1:30 p.m. at the penthouse of some local Democrats in The Vue, a high-rise condominium near Lake Eola.

Green Energy Hypocrisy: Barack Obama Leaves Event Promoting Clean Energy in Motorcade of 22 Fossil Fuel Gas Hogs

Green Energy Hypocrisy: Barack Obama Leaves Event Promoting Clean Energy in Motorcade of 22 Fossil Fuel Gas Hogs

Classic from the Hypocrite in Chief … From the files of you just can’t make this stuff up comes the hypocrisy of Obama and the LEFT promoting “green”, clean energy while driving around in fossil fuel gas hogs leaving the carbon foot print the size of Sasquatch.

Hat Tip: Gateway Pundit

On January 26, 2012, President Obama visited a Las Vegas UPS plant. Stimulus subsidy for said UPS plant to purchase natural-gas-powered trucks: 5.6 million dollars. Stimulus subsidy for North Las Vegas green energy plant that laid off 200 workers yesterday: 5.9 million dollars. Using taxpayer dollars to leave an event promoting clean-energy vehicles in a motorcade of twenty-two fossil-fueled vehicles: Priceless.

Every wonder why there is no market for clean energy and these government subsidized green energy companies, because those promoting it do not even believe in it. Why is it that the very people, whether they be Obama or those in the private sector who cry “green” energy are the very ones who are the most wasteful. have multiple homes and fly private jets? Hmm?

What’s Another $1.2 Trillion … Obama Makes Official Request that Congress Raise the Debt Ceiling to more than $16 Trillion

And the Barack Obama spending keeps on coming … UNPATRIOTIC!

It’s official, President Barack Obama asks for the debt ceiling to be raised by another $1.2 trillion. Good grief, will the spending never stop? where is the fiscal discipline from this President, where is the leadership to take on the ridiculous National Debt and go after entitlement programs and wasteful DC spending that are bankrupting America?

The Gateway Pundit reminds us of when Barack Obama called raising the national debt irresponsible and unpatriotic when GWB raised the debt by $4 trillion in 8 years. What does Obama say about the $8 trillion he has increased it by in less than 4 years? Hmm? Talk about your Obama hypocrisy.

President Obama on Thursday made an official request that Congress raise the debt ceiling by $1.2 trillion over the objections of several House Republicans.

Obama’s formal notification gives both chambers 15 days to vote on whether to approve the hike. The House plans to vote on this request on Jan. 18, a spokeswoman for House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said.

The United States reached the $15.194 trillion debt limit on Jan. 4, according to Treasury statements. Since that time, Treasury has employed the “extraordinary measure” of tapping into its Exchange Stabilization Fund to avoid exceeding the limit.

The White House agreed not to make an official request to raise the debt ceiling until now so that Congress could vote on the matter.

The United States cannot afford another 4 years of Barack Obama … the 2012 cannot come fast enough.

Good Grief …Pay $45,000 Tuition at Columbia University to Get 99% Occupy Protest Classes (Occupy 101)

WHAT A JOKE: File this one under bed wetting, liberal guilt hypocrisy …

Columbia University offer Occupy protest 101 classes.That is correct, the Ivy League school where the tuition is $45,000 + is offering courses in Occupy 101. Talk about the height of hypocrisy. Does one get to major in “Occupy” pretesting or is it just a minor? Will there be graduate courses? Because I am sure every MBA Columbia offers needs to have business electives in how not to know how to use a bar of soap, have complete contempt of the law, use drugs, assault others and sexually abuse class mates.

Columbia University is offering a new course on Occupy Wall Street next semester — sending upperclassmen and grad students into the field for full course credit.

The class is taught by Dr. Hannah Appel, who boasts about her nights camped out in Zuccotti Park.

As many as 30 students will be expected to get involved in ongoing OWS projects outside the classroom, the syllabus says.

The class will be in the anthropology department and called “Occupy the Field: Global Finance, Inequality, Social Movement.” It will be divided between seminars at the Morningside Heights campus and fieldwork.

Seriously, a tuition that costs $45K + is offering courses for the so-called 99%? How exactly do the students at Columbia think they got there? Do these people not understand … THEY ARE THE 1% THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR! Why would Columbia lower themselves by allowing this? I am sure there are many alumni that are questioning their diploma and what it is now worth. More from Michelle Malkin and the hypocrisy of offering such classes yet charging an unbelievable tuition where only a small number of students could ever afford.

Maybe they can show the following VIDEOS as the A/V part of the course. There are many videos for Occupy 101 to be so proud of.

Warning: Language

This is what a $45K education can get you … peaceful protest?

The actual syllabus can be seen HERE; however. other courses on the syllabus for Occupy 101 suggestions are as follows:

• How to burn American flags
• How to sexually assault minors
• How to target & stalk school children to further your cause
• How rape girls over the age of 18 – follow up, extra credit on how to rape female protesters
• How to cost the 99% tax payers $13M and counting for useless protest – Make that $20 million.
• How to get arrested for not following the law and ordinances
• How to die at an Occupy protest encampment
• How to be arrested for child porn
• How to pimp out 16 year old girls for profit at Occupy camps
• How to overdose on drugs at OWS
• How to push the elderly down cement steps
• How to walk into a pole while protesting
• How to assault animals and punch horses
• How to beat each other up and choke and beat to death fellow protesters
• How to threaten to bomb Macy’s and burn the city [NYC] to the F’n ground [editors note: Isn't Columbia in NYC?]
• Hypocrisy & the OWS … How to stay in $700 a night hotels and claim you are the 99%
• How to contract head & body lice, TB and STD’s & HIV while protesting
• How to publicly masturbate
  

Actually Weasel Zippers, its not extra credit, in order to graduate Occupy 101 one must successfully complete and demonstrate that the can defecate on a police car.

Michael Moore Says … “Wall Street Has Their Man And His Name Is Barack Obama”

Barack “Wall Street” Obama … Even a broken clock tells the correct time twice a day, Michael Moore calls Obama, Wall Street’s man … “Wall Street Has Their Man And His Name Is Barack Obama”

How bad is it for President Barack Obama? Even far Left lib Michael Moore is stating that Obama is in the pocket of Wall Street. So what to the Occupy Wall Street crowd think when the very individual they should be protesting is their candidate in the White House. How do the so-called 99%’ers justify the fact that Obama is part of the 1% and takes money from the 1%?

From RCP: (VIDEO)

MICHAEL MOORE, ON CNN: Well, “The Washington post” three weeks ago had this investigation and they said that President Obama has now raised more money from Wall Street and the banks for this election cycle than all — than all eight Republicans combined. I don’t want to say that, because if that’s the truth, that Wall Street already has their man and his name is Barack Obama, then we’ve got a much bigger problem.

But I think President Obama, if he were here in the room, the question I would ask him is why are they your number one contributors? Why are you taking this money?

Interesting, even Moore is having an issue trying to justify support for Obama and The One’s actions.

The Astro-turf OWS Protest: Occupy Wall Street Protesters Stay at $700 a Night Hotel … OCCUPY LUXURY HOTELS

OCCUPY $700 A NIGHT LUXURY HOTELS …

#OWS … We don’t need no stinkin’ tents, especially when you can stay in a NYC $700 a night hotel room. Well what do you know, isn’t this what Nancy Pelosi would call “astro-turf”? I wonder how the 99% OWS protesters feel about the privileged 1% wannabe’s in their midst? Who would want to stay with the riff-raff and be among the unwashed, when they can use their privilege of the 1% and stay at the W Hotel Downtown.  How absolutely typical is this of Libs? While the unwashed, brainwashed minions live in the filth, disease, urine and crime of the Occupy camps, the organizers are living la vita loca in luxury and life styles of the “Rich and Famous”.

Hell no, we won’t go — unless we get goose down pillows.

A key Occupy Wall Street leader and another protester who leads a double life as a businessman ditched fetid tents and church basements for rooms at a luxurious hotel that promises guests can “unleash [their] inner Gordon Gekko,” The Post has learned.

Guest room at the W Hotel Downtown

The $700-per-night W Hotel Downtown last week hosted both Peter Dutro, one of a select few OWS members on the powerful finance committee, and Brad Spitzer, a California-based analyst who not only secretly took part in protests during a week-long business trip but offered shelter to protesters in his swanky platinum-card room.

Shocker, the OWS protesters are hypocrites. Does it really get any more pathetically hypocritical than this? Seriously. You claim to be a part of a movement where you say you represent the 99%, yet you stay in the very entity that you say you are against. As states at Michelle Malkin.com, the W chain is owned by Starwood Hotels, which closed on Wall Street at 49.08 on Friday.

I am guess that these guys will not be showing up for their free Turkey Day vittels and fixings.
