Hypocrisy, Look Who Has Investments in Companies like Apple, GE & IBM that Outsource Jobs Overseas … Barack Obama of Course

HYPOCRISY ALERT …

For all his bad mouthing, for all his condemnation of Mitt Romney, Bain Capital and the misrepresentations and lies of outsourcing of jobs overseas, guess who has investments in some of the biggest US companies that outsource jobs overseas? Why that would the the “Carnival Barker” in Chief Barack Obama of course. Obama has accused Mitt Romney of profiting from companies that shipped jobs overseas, yet our dear leader has done the exact same thing. More than 30% of his income comes from overseas.

As reported at the Washington Examiner, Barack Obama has profited greatly from companies that have shipped jobs overseas. What’s your response to this Barack, cat got your tongue? There is actually nothing wrong with investing in the Vanguard 500 Index Fund that contains outsourcing companies, the problem is you do not get to be two-faced and accuse another of something that you are doing yourself.

But Obama’s own portfolio shows a willingness to invest in American corporations that have shifted employment overseas.

In his most recent financial disclosure from 2011, Obama and his wife reported having between $200,000 and $450,000 in the Vanguard 500 Index Fund, which invests in the largest U.S. corporations. According to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as of Sept. 30, 2011, the fund’s biggest holding was 8,272,039 shares of Apple Inc., then valued at $3.2 billion.

The mutual fund that the Obamas have invested in also held 94,582,281 million shares of General Electric, valued at $1.4 billion, as of the SEC filing. The multinational conglomorate has a long history of outsourcing – according to a new book  cited by the New York Times, in 1989, “G.E. became the first U.S. company to outsource software work to India.” Obama also has close ties to GE’s CEO, Jeffrey Immelt, who was appointed as chairman of his outside panel of economic advisers last year.

In addition to Apple and GE, the Obamas’ fund listed 10,655,961 shares of International Business Machines, valued at $1.9 billion. As the Wall Street Journal reported in 2009, “The technology giant has been steadily building its work force in India and other locations while reducing the number of workers based in the U.S. Foreign workers accounted for 71% of Big Blue’s nearly 400,000 employees.

Barack Obama Slams Romney about Bain Capital and Outsourcing, Then Outsources his Campaign with Fundraisers in Switzerland, Sweden, Paris and Communist China

Barack Obama, the Outsourcer in Chief is at it again.

So what does an incumbent, hypocrite President do who is in trouble on the domestic front with the economy, jobs and debt, and who continuously  ans falsely attacks his opponent Mitt Romney on outsourcing do … why Obama outsources his campaign with fundraisers in Switzerland, Sweden, Paris and Communist China of course.

Check out the Gateway Pundit for all the specifics and details for Obama’s fund raising in Switzerland, Sweden, Paris and Communist China. Who finsd it just a wee-bit ironic and laughable that Obama, whose campaign has attacked Romney for Swiss bank accounts, is having a fund raiser in Switzerland? I wonder how many of those Obama donors have Swiss bank accounts themselves?

Just curious, with the advent of the Internet, Paypal, and on-line donations, why would a campaign really have to go to foreign countries to to get campaign funds from Americans living abroad? There still is International mail with those “par avion” letters that individuals can send a check, right? Better yet, as stated at I’m 41, begging for donations in Red China, really? Check out the link to the Shanghai beg from the official Elect Barack Obama/Biden web page. Of course all of the donations funds come from Americans living abroad, wink, wink, nod, nod.

OBAMA TURNS OVERSEAS FOR CAMPAIGN CASH …

If both candidates hold fundraisers overseas as we are told, one has to answer two following questions, one, why is there a huge difference in donations and two, if outsourcing is so bad, why is Obama going after monies from Americans living and working abroad?

Hypocrisy Alert: AG Eric Holder Requires Journalists Show Photo ID to Attend His NAACP Speech on Evils of Photo ID Laws

File this one under truth is stranger than fiction, hypocrisy and you just can’t make this stuff up …

Attorney General Eric Holder gave a speech today to the NAACP conference in Houston, TX on the evils of photo ID laws; however, in order for the media to get in and cover the event, wait for it, wait for it … they needed to show photo ID.

Holder described photo ID laws as racist and a poll tax.  What a sad, pathetic man. Worse yet, what a sad and pathetic Presidential administration that was voted into office. If they are not doing class warfare, they are playing the race card. Just curious, how does anyone conduct any form of business or travel in today’s society without a photo ID?

“Many of those without IDs would have to travel great distances to get them and some would struggle to pay for the documents they might need to obtain them,” Holder said in a speech to the NAACP on Tuesday, referring specifically to a law being implemented in Texas. “We call those poll taxes.”

Check out the media advisory that was handed out to have the media show photo ID’s to hear a race-bating and divisive speech in the evils of photo ID laws. Hmm, wasn’t it the Michelle Obama book signing that also required that individuals show photo ID as well?

 As correctly stated at Powerline, “liberals require identification to get access to anything they think is important. Where they part company with us is that they don’t think preventing voter fraud is important.”

Joey Chestnut Still Top Dog as he Devours 68 Hot Dogs to Win 6th Consecutive Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest at Coney Island … NYC Mayor Bloomberg Wins Hypocrite of the Week Award

If its the 4th of July, it means the annual Nathan’s Hotdog Eating Contest from Coney Island, NY … it was gagtacular!

Once again Joey “Jaws” Chestnut was the victor in Jordonesque fashion as Chestnut won his 6th consecutive Nathans hotdog eating contest. Chestnut overwhelmed the competition and consumed 68 hotdogs and buns in 10 minutes. OMG, can you say Pepito-Bismal? Chestnut walked away once again with the mustard yellow belt winning by 14 hot dogs. Second place went to Tim Janus of New York with a distant 52 hot dogs scarfed down. Chestnut was proud of his accomplishment, although he stated he had wanted to break his record. Joey stated that next year he plans on going for 70. YIKES!!!

 

More than 40,000 spectators, some dressed as hot dogs, ketchup and mustard bottles, watched Chestnut out-eat his competition by almost 16 hot dogs to take home his sixth straight Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog-Eating title on the U.S. Independence Day holiday.

“I came here hoping I could do 70 (hot dogs), but I am happy with 68. It is a world record after all and I will be back next year to see if I can go one better,” said the 28-year-old Chestnut from San Jose, California.

I wonder if Michelle Obama watched the nitrate devouring contest?

However, Chestnut might have been over-shadowed by the “golden H” belt and the hypocrite of the week award given hands down to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The food “Nazi”  Mayor who has banned large sodas in NYC actually had the audacity to attend the weigh in of the 29 competitive eating contestants in Tuesday. Some how inhaling hotdogs is different than large sodas. The “hypocrite” Bloomberg actually tried to justify his hypocrisy by saying eating in moderation was the key.

Having it (a hot dog) occasionally is fine,” he said. “If you want to eat 65 hot dogs in 10 minutes, that’s even fine. Just don’t do it more than once a year and you won’t have a problem.”

Dude wanna bet? What part about COMPETITIVE EATING IS IN MODERATION!!! Bloomberg has to be either the biggest fool or the most uninformed individual ever. The no salt, no trans-fats, no large soda Mayor seemed to have no issue with hot dogs, even though some physicians have compared them to cigarettes. Bloomberg seems to have no issue with calorie overload.  Um, just curious Mr. Mayor … do you not understand that there is an IFOCE? That stands for Major League Eating & International Federation of Competitive Eating.  They eat more than just hot dogs and more than once a year you idiot, hypocrite, moderation Mayor. Personally, I could care less whether these folks gorge themselves and regular folks have a large soda. Then again, I am not a hypocrite like Mayor Bloomberg.

There was Mr. No Salt, No Transfats and Limited Soda reeling off pun after pun about a food reportedly so bad for you the Physicians’ Committee for Responsible Medicine put up a billboard last year comparing hot dogs to cigarettes.

At one point the mayor wondered if the reigning champs would win “or if one of their dogged pursuers will finally ‘ketchup,’ cut the mustard and be pronounced wiener. No question it’s going to be a dog fight.”

Obama Administration Incapable of Telling the Truth, White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew Lied Through his teath about Obamacare Tax

How do you know if the Obama Administration is lying to “We the People” … their lips are moving. These folks have taken lying to a whole new low.

White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew appeared on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace and out-right lied about everything and anything he was confronted with. First he was asked whether Barack Obama had broken his promise regarding raising taxes on families making less than $250,00. His response, a rambling statement that we have cut taxes for these people rather than answering whteher Obamacare tax is going to tax the middle class.

Lew them lied about the Obamacare mandate being a tax and the decision handed down by the US Supreme Court. It was simply shameless and dishonest even for Obama’s minions. To Chris Wallace’s credit, he kept interrupting the continued lies from Lew, but that did not stop Obama’s Chief of Staff from continuing to lie.

This is how shameful, pathetic and dishonest the Obama regime is. They lied to the American people and told us that Obamacare was not a tax. Then Obama sent his solicitor general to the SCOTUS and argued that Obamacare was a tax. Then when the Supreme Court declared this terrible healthcare bill Constitutional as a tax, Obama, democrats and Obama’s paid liars go out on the shows and not spin the facts, but flat out lie. Even when Jack Lew is presented with the very audio of Obama’s attorneys calling Obamacare a tax to the SCOTUS, he still continued to spew lies. The Lonely  Conservative wonders whether Lew has a Burger King franchise, because he can certainly serve up some Whoppers. However, I am thinking that they might work for Disney, because there are no better “Lying Kings” than these folks.

Video Hat Tip - I Own the World

Good grief, this lying sack of garbage even went on CNN and lied as well with regards to the executive privilege invoked by President Barack Obama regarding the Fast and Furious requested documents. When presented with past video of Obama questioning GWB invoking privilege, Lew acted as if it had never occurred. The White House Chief of Staff actually had the audacity to say that the Obama Administration has been the most transparent ever. You know what America, if you have to constantly say you are the most anything … you are not.

Its rather comical that the White House is urging Democrats to go on the offensive after the Supreme Court upheld the Obamacare and embrace Obama’s signature piece of legislation all the while they continue to lie and misrepresent the facts of the Obamacare tax and what the SCOTUS actually ruled.
