They Lie … Obama Administration Defends Obama Bow to Japanese Emperor with Protocol Fallacy

Obama senior officials fabricate protocol to justify Obama’s bow.

This is priceless … Obama Administration is trying to tell us that Barack Hussein Obama bowed to the Emperor of Japan because The One was simply observing protocol. WHAT PROTOCOL? Or better yet, whose protocol? Unnamed senior Obama officials now see fit to flat out lie to the American public that is it US protocol to for a US President to bow to a foreign leader or monarch. Maybe they would like to cite that protocol?

A senior administration official said President Barack Obama was simply observing protocol when he bowed to Japanese Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko upon arriving at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo on Saturday.

“I think that those who try to politicize those things are just way, way, way off base,” the official said. “He observes protocol. But I don’t think anybody who was in Japan – who saw his speech and the reaction to it, certainly those who witnesses his bilateral meetings there – would say anything other than that he enhanced both the position and the status of the U.S., relative to Japan. It was a good, positive visit at an important time, because there’s a lot going on in Japan.”

As the Weekly Standard states, “Why won’t that “senior administration official” come out from behind the curtain and make that assertion in his own name? Because it’s nonsense.”

However, until Barack Hussein Obama no President had ever bowed down before another leader. Protocol, Hardly! Barack Obama’s greatest bows:

Michael Goldfarb from the Weekly Standard called the bow “a violation of more than two centuries of tradition and protocol holding that American presidents never bow before royalty.”

Clarence Feldman, in commentary for American Thinker, wrote “I am quite certain that this is not the protocol, and is most unbecoming a president of the United States.”

Check out how the rest of the world greeted the Emperor of Japan. Not a bow to be found.

Anthony Sowell: More Gruesome Finds as 4 More Bodies & a Skull Discovered on Convicted Rapist Property

Just when you thought it could not get any worse. The house of horrors continues at the Cleveland, OH home of convicted rapist Anthony Sowell. The number of bodies found is at 10 and counting … Make it 11.

Anthony Sowell, Rapist, Murderer … Hiding in Plain Sight

If the previous grim finds were not bad enough, as investigators have found four more bodies from Sowell’s back yard and a skull from his basement. The skull was actually found in a bucket in the basement.  Anthony Sowell has now been charged with 5 counts of aggravated murder. 50 year old Anthony Sowell was also charged Tuesday with rape, felonious assault and kidnapping.

The gruesome new discovery comes after 6 bodies were found last week in the Sowell’s house, bringing the totaly number of bodies found to 10. Authorities do not know whether the skull belongs to an 11th victim.

Sowell will be arraigned Wednesday.

Cadaver dogs unsuccessfully searched Sowell’s backyard throughout the day, but found the remains while using a backhoe to dig up portions of the yard, Cleveland Police Chief Michael McGrath said Tuesday night.

“It appears that this man had an insatiable appetite that he had to fill,” McGrath said.

 Time gap in investigation of rape complaint against Anthony Sowell questioned

Democrat Alan Grayson Calls Female Officials “Whores” … Obama Praises Him … Now the Unapology

Looks like Democrat Rep Alan Grayson does not want the “Whore” vote.

How ironic is it that a politician call anyone a whore? This might as well been the joke of the week.

Democrat Neanderthal Alan Grayson is at it again. First he said that Republicans wanted Americans to die quickly. Now it would appear that Grayson is calling female officials “whores”. The individual that Grayson is referring to is Linda Robertson, an adviser to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, a “K Street whore” in a month-old radio interview that circulated on Capitol Hill Monday night.

Listen to the comments HERE.

This K Street whore is trying to teach me about economic

But wait, it gets better. As the Gateway Pundit points out, even after Grayson made such comments that Republicans wanted Americans to die quickly, with regards to the GOP, “They probably wish that there was a Nobel Prize for fear, a Nobel prize for hatred, a Nobel prize for racism” and compared the GOP health care plan to the Holocaust and 9-11. Hot Air has Obama’s outstanding US Rep as well.

After all this, and with the “whore” comment to boot … President Barack Obama praises Alan Grayson. How many Presidents do you know have done this? I am sensing a 2012 President campaign ad in the making.

In the end Grayson stands by his comments and has his spokesperson parse words stating that the attack of on her professionally, not personally. Oh, Mr. Neanderthal like that makes a difference. One could say the same when Joe Wilson said that Obama lied. He was not attacking him personally, he was attacking the Obamacare policy.

61% of Americans Believe Obama Did not Deserve Nobel Peace Prize … How About the Heisman?

Mandate … 61% of Americans believe that President Barack Obama did not deserve to win the Nobel Peace Prize. 34% of those poll said Obama dreamed of doing something deserving at some point in his life, while 6% had no opinion and were watching reruns of The Bachelor.

It was predictable how Republicans would side in this matter; however, look at Independents. By a 66% to 27% margin, middle of the roaders said Obama in no way deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. More interesting was that only 59% of Democrats said that Obama deserved the award. Hmm.

Obama_nobel_gallup

The Norwegian Nobel Committee’s Oct. 9 announcement that President Obama had received the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize caught the world by surprise. One Associated Press report on the day of the announcement was headlined, “Gasps as Obama Awarded Peace Prize.” Those startled by the announcement apparently included Obama himself, who said he was “surprised and deeply humbled” by the award.

They say Americans are can-do people. But “can” and “do” are not one and the same. 

Americans seem to understandably believe that he has not “done” it, at least not yet. That he can, sure. But Americans believe, sometimes desperately, in meritocracy. And most Americans don’t believe the president merits this honor.

How many believe that Obama should win the Heisman? How about the MVP of the Baseball World Series? The libs at the Nobel Peace Prize org did Obama no favors in further pointing out to the American people that Barack is provided favoritism for doing nothing.

Obamacare Would Add an Extra $1700 a Year to Family Insured’s Premiums

Who couldn’t see this coming? Splitsville between Insurance carriers and the Obama Administration.

And the truth shall set you free … According to a newly released study, Obamacare and nationalized health care bill will cost American families $1,700 a year. What, a government run health care plan costs more than a private one to run, say it isn’t so.

Late Sunday, the industry trade group America’s Health Insurance Plans sent its member companies a new accounting firm study that projects the legislation would add $1,700 a year to the cost of family coverage in 2013, when most of the major provisions in the bill would be in effect.

Premiums for a single person would go up by $600 more than would be the case without the legislation, the PricewaterhouseCoopers analysis concluded in the study commissioned by the insurance group.

It appears that Insurance carriers are sick and tired of being demonized by Barack Obama and Democrats. Initially Obama worked behind the scenes to get the carriers on board with Obamacare. That was until “We the People” stated that we liked our healthcare and that there was nothing wrong with it. Obama then needed a new strategy and went after health care insurance. It looks like there is extreme trouble in paradise as Ruby Red Slippers states, “Uh oh, looks like the insurance industry is about to claim irreconcilable differences in their ill-fated union with the Democrats and Obama administration.” Check out this analysis:

What Economy is Obama & Biden Spinning … Jobless Total Tops 15 million

The Obama policy of spinning the economy. Note to Obama and Biden, you cannot spin a rosy picture to those out of work with an unemployment rate of 9.8% exists. Just like how the media salivated when a death toll in Iraq reached 1000 because that would look bad upon the Bush Administration, wait, just wait until unemployment reached 10% in the US and see Obama’s poll numbers drop faster than Chicago off the 2016 Olympic list.

As the grim news came out on Friday that the nation’s payrolls declines by yet another 263,000 jobs in September and unemployment inched up to 9.8%.  According to the Department of Labor, (full stats HEREthe number of unemployed people topped 15 million. Every single major business sector showed continued declines, with the exception of education and health services, which added a mere 3,000 jobs.

If there is any stimulus money going into infrastructure and green construction, it is not evident from the numbers, because construction lost 64,000 jobs - more than the perennial loser, manufacturing. Even heavy and civil engineering construction, the group that would be building roads and bridges, saw a decline of 11,900 jobs.

Mandate Against Obamacare: Health Plan Hits New Low as only 41% Approve … A Resounding 56% Disapprove

If Obama claimed a Presidential mandate after he beat John Mc Cain in the 2008 Presidential Obama_care3election 53% to 46% … what does Obama call it when his Obamcare plan is opposed by the American voters 56 to 41%?

After all the Obama speeches to the American people and to joint sessions of Congress, the verdict is in and “We the People” in a mandate categorically disapprove of Obamacare 56% to 41%. The Obama healthcare blitz accomplished nothing. In fact, the poll numbers are worse today than prior to Obama Sunday Talk show-palooza.

41% represents the lowest approval rating yet for Obamacare and it is sinking. It is obvious to all that Obama cannot sell this government takeover of healthcare to the people as he fails to come up with specifics and details. If he did, even less people would support the plan.

Just 41% of voters nationwide now favor the health care reform proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s down two points from a week ago and the lowest level of support yet measured.

How much trouble is Obamacare in? Check out some of the numbers behind the numbers. If a Democrat Congress ever tried to push this bill through without Republican support it would be the end of Democrat control in the House and Senate. It would also make The One, a one and done term President.
