Obama Said There Would Be No Media & No Photos from Dover … Obama Lied … Uses Dead Seal Heroes for Political Photo Op
Commander in Chief, eh … Barack Obama, you are a pathetic, small, small man. You should be ashamed; however, one would have to have shame, in order to be ashamed.
HOW LOW AND DISGRACEFUL CAN THIS PRESIDENT GET? AFTER PROMISING THERE WOULD BE NO MEDIA AND PHOTOS TAKEN AT DOVER AIR FORCE BASE WHEN THE DECEASED HEROES RETURNED HOME … OBAMA LIES AND USES MOMENT FOR POLITICAL PHOTO OP.
Once again the Obama White House uses the theory, always take advantage of a crisis, even when President Barack Obama said there would be no pics or lasting images of the US military heroes return from the helicopter crash that killed 31 in Afghanistan. Obama said there would be no pictures, but the “small” leader just could not stop himself … they posted the pic on the White House web site as the “photo of the day”.
From the AP comes the following regarding Obama’s lie to the families of US military heroes. It would appear the AP is non too happy with Barack Obama. Neither are the families of the deceased military heroes.
A White House photographer was allowed to take and widely distribute a photo from the ceremony Tuesday for the return of the remains of 30 American troops killed in a weekend helicopter crash in Afghanistan despite the Pentagon’s claim that any public depiction of the scene would violate the wishes of bereaved families.
News media coverage of the ceremony had been banned by the Pentagon over the objections of several news organizations.
Pentagon officials had said that because 19 of 30 of the American families of the dead had objected to media coverage of the remains coming off a plane at Dover Air Force Base, no images could be taken. In addition, the Pentagon rejected media requests to take photos that showed officials at the ceremony but did not depict caskets.
The head of public affairs at the Pentagon stated that the department did not know the White House photographer was present and had no idea a photo of the event was being released until it became public. UNREAL. Even more unreal, Obama and the WH actually had the audacity to defend what they did.
“The White House routinely releases photos taken by the White House photographers in specific circumstances where it would be inappropriate to include members of the media,” Carney said. “In this case, the White House released the photo, in the interests of transparency, so that the American people could have as much insight as possible into this historic and sobering event.”
Is it any wonder why Democrats try and prevent absentee ballots from the military to not be counted? What a Commander in Chief, using dead American heroes for his political gain to make the misleader look Presidential. You never looked more un-Presidential, Barack Obama.

Stock Markets Drop Another 500+ Points … Thanks for the Hope & Change Barack Obama .. Does Not Deter Another Obama Vacation
THANK YOU BARACK OBAMA …
Good grief, DOW falls another 519 points today. A fantastic follow up to Monday’s fall of 634 points as President Barack Obama went on TV to calm the people and the markets and made matters worse. Lets face it, he has lost all credibility and no one has any confidence in Obama. For the second time in three days the stock markets collapse.
The Dow Jones industrial average is down 519, or 4.6 percent, to 10,720. It’s the third time in the last five trading days that the Dow lost more than 500 points. The S&P 500 is down 51 points, or 4.4 percent, to 1,121. The Nasdaq is down 101, or 4.1 percent, to 2,381.
Yet another Thank you Barack, T-notes are being sold at record lows. Now we hear that Moody’s is warning state and local governments could see credit downgrades. Add that to a 9%+ unemployment rate, an 18.0% underemployment rate, a GDP of 1.8% and an economic situation getting worse not better under Obama. So what does Barack Obama do with the utter mess he has created … why go on another vacation of course.
White House press secretary Jay Carney defends President Obama’s upcoming 10 day trip to Martha’s Vineyard. Carney is asked why the President is taking such a vacation when he constantly says he “will not rest” until the jobs issue is resolved. Here is the exchange:

US Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) Says Time to Impeach Barack Obama
US Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) says impeaching President Barack Obama “needs to happen.” One can dare to dream. Obama has been an abysmal failure as President and one wonders whether he is even engaged as President. He has failed to lead and when he speaks he fails miserably as seen the other day when he spoke to calm the markets and he made things worse.
“It needs to happen, and I agree with you it would tie things up,” Burgess reportedly responded. “No question about that.”
When the Star-Telegram’s reporter asked Burgess about the comment, he said the House needs to do what it can to stop the president.
“We need to tie things up,” Burgess said. “The longer we allow the damage to continue unchecked, the worse things are going to be for us.”
As Weasel Zippers says, impeach Obama … so this is what Chris Matthews felt like with a tingly feeling up his leg.
However, no need to fret if Obama is not impeached, the 2012 President elections will add Barack to the unemployment numbers. Obama’s present job approval as seen at RCP is at 43.7% and 49.8% disapproval … a – 6.1% margin. Three polls, Gallup, Fox News and CNN all have Obama at -10 job approval. That would be a trend folks.

Thanks Barack Obama: Mexico’s Unemployment Rate 4.9% … United States 9.2%
THANKS BARACK OBAMA: MEXICO UNEMPLOYMENT RATE 4.9% – US UNEMPLOYMENT RATE 9.2% …
Well we have finally figured out Barack Obama’s master plan of Obamanomics and illegal immigration … make the United States employment and jobs situation so bad that undocumented illegal immigrants go back to Mexico. WINNING! How bad is the economy under Barack Obama, even illegals want out of the US.
What a sad state of affairs in the United States under the Obama Administration with his help from his minions Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. The unemployment situation in the US is bleak at 9.2% and the economic growth is anemic at 1.3%. But wait, that is Obama’s master plan. Make the economic situation in the US so terrible that the illegal Mexican immigrants will stay in Mexico where there are actually jobs. According to a recent Sacramento Bee article, there are less illegals in California as they are finding the “American Dream” south of the border.
There are fewer undocumented immigrants in California – and the Sacramento region – because many are now finding the American dream south of the border.
“It’s now easier to buy homes on credit, find a job and access higher education in Mexico,” Sacramento’s Mexican consul general, Carlos González Gutiérrez, said Wednesday. “We have become a middle-class country.”
Mexico’s unemployment rate is now 4.9 percent, compared with 9.4 percent joblessness in the United States.
With the job destroying policies of Obama, it would appear that he will not be happy until Americans are crossing the border illegally into Mexico to find employment. Maybe Obama should run for President in Mexico in 2012 … because America cannot afford another 4 more years of his “Hope & Change”.

Response to Obama’s Debt Limit Campaign Speech … Charles Krauthammer: “I Thought I Was Cynical Until I Heard Obama’s Speech”
The Barack Obama debt ceiling speech … At a time when leadership should have been the call of the day, instead President Obama used the prime time audience to do a political speech blaming others as the buck stops elsewhere.
So what was the reaction to Obama’s speech? It was purely partisan and meant as a campaign speech pandering to Independents with poll tested buzz words like balanced approach, compromise and even going so far as to make a comparison to Ronald Reagan. Charles Krauthammer went so far to say, I thought I was cynical until I heard that speech.” Do we really need a President who is going to make a prime time speech and just use poll tested words to pander and beg for support to a plan he does not even have?
Charles Krauthammer Nails Obama on what was a terrible, partisan speech
VIDEO Hat Tip: The Gateway Pundit
How comical and pathetic is it that Obama would say that Americans should not be made collateral damage when that is exactly what the Obama Administration has done for the last 2+ years.
Everyone, including those Independents who Obama was pandering to last night need to remember one little factoid, Obama originally wanted a clean debt limit increase with nothing attached. In other words, he wanted a blank check with no mention or caring for any decrease in the United State’s debt. That was reminded to all during Speaker Boehner’s rebuttal speech last night as he stated, “that ain’t going to happen”. The results of last nights competing speeches … BOEHNER 2 – OBAMA 0.
In the end, the debt limit debate will be decided by the American people in 2012.
