The Wrong Governor is Leaving … Alaska Governor Sarah Palin Resigning from Office

Wow, this will make cable news stop talking endlessly about Michael Jackson and his favorite color …

In a shocking move on the slow Friday news cycle before the 4th of July, Governor Sarah Palin is stepping down as Alaska’s chief executive by months end. Palin has stated that she will not seek a second term as Governor in 2010. I echo the words of Jammie Wearing Fool, “Just WOW”!

“People who know me know that besides faith and family, nothing’s more important to me than our beloved Alaska,” Palin said at an announcement from her home in Wasilla. “Serving her people is the greatest honor I could imagine.”

Palin was elected governor in 2006. She was tapped as Arizona Sen. John McCain’s vice presidential running mate last year.

Palin said she was transferring authority to Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell, who will be sworn in at the Governor’s Picnic on July 26.

Is her political career over or is this a bold move to get out of the cross hairs of the media and Democrats to run as the true Conservative, Washington, DC outsider in 2012?

 “We are not retreating, we are advancing in another direction.”

It had been speculated that Sarah Palin would not seek a second term as she had aspirations of a career on the national stage. Let us just hope that this is not a result of the ridiculous attacks from the LEFT and from the jealous McCain staffers. Lt Governor Sean Parnell will take over the reins on July 26 and hopefully give him a leg up in the 2010 elections.

Hey Obama & Democrats, 56% of Americans Say They Will Not Pay More Taxes To Fight Global Warming

Why is Barack Obama and the Democrats not doing the will of “We the People”?

Obama and his poll numbers are coming to realize that it’s not easy being green, nor is it what the majority of the people want as compared to creating jobs and reducing taxes.

Hey Barack Obama, Democrats and 8 Turncoat Republicans, here are some poll numbers you can believe in. 56% of Americans are not willing to pay higher taxes and utility costs (ie. cap and trade) to fight so-called global warming.  America is starting to get informed and have wizened up to the tax and spend liberal socialism of the Obama Administration. Is it any wonder why The One’s poll numbers continue to slide. America gave Obama the benefit of the doubt and wanted this President to succeed; however, Socialism and high taxes in the teeth of a recession is not what they bargained for.

Fifty-six percent (56%) of Americans say they are not willing to pay more in taxes and utility costs to generate cleaner energy and fight global warming.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey, taken since the climate change bill was passed on Friday, finds that 21% of Americans are willing to pay $100 more per year for cleaner energy and to counter global warming. Only 14% are willing to pay more than that amount.

Obamanomics: US Unemployment Rate Climbs to a 26 Year High at 9.5%

Obamanomics you can believe in … More Obama change you can believe in … Jobless claims higher than expected as 467,000 jobs lost in June, driving the unemployment rate up to a 26-year high of 9.5 percent. The economic carnage continues and everything that Obama has done or proposed has not helped, in fact it might have made matters worse.

The Labor Department report, released Thursday, showed that even as the recession flashes signs of easing, companies likely will want to keep a lid on costs and be wary of hiring until they feel certain the economy is on a solid ground. June’s payroll reductions were deeper than the 363,000 that economists expected.

When the Press Attacks: Obama Wearing out his Welcome with Media … Not Even Nixon Tried to Control the Media Like Obama

Wow, who would have thought within the first year of an Obama presidency that the press would compare him to Richard Nixon. OUCH, that’s going to leave a mark, The Chosen One compared to Nixon. …  There’s change you can believe in … Stay tune for Fox’s new TV show, When the LEFT ATTACKS.

The media made Obama, they have carried the water for Obama and now they appear to be fed up with Obama. Has the media finally gotten tired of Obama’s lack of transparency and stonewalling of the media’s questions? What did the media expect? They created Obama by never asking a tough question, does the press now have buyer’s remorse, literally!

When liberal Helen Thomas thinks that Obama is trying to control the press, the Obamamessiah really has a problem. Is the media going to finally expose this President and the Administration for what they really are? They claim they are for oneness and transparency, yet have done nothing but stonewall, create media infomercials, have media plants, and pre-screen Town Hall questions. As Town Hall.com states … It’s about time, called on it for once.

“Nixon didn’t try to do that,” Thomas said. “They couldn’t control (the media). They didn’t try.

“What the hell do they think we are, puppets?” Thomas said. “They’re supposed to stay out of our business. They are our public servants. We pay them.”

Obama Back Peddling on Taxes … Press Corps Laughing at the Lameness of Gibbs Response & the Process

Barack Obama … Read my lips, no new middle class taxes.

The honeymoon is over. The press laughs at Press Secretary Gibbs lame attempt to duck their questions. Has the as the Obama House of Spin is starting to unravel. Barack Obama made a campaign promise that he would not tax anyone who makes less that $250. That promise all but got him elected a it was those mean rich people who were going to pay for everything in Obama’s redistribution of wealth program.

Looks like Obama is learning that a campaign promise and a smile does not make a President.

Check out Gibbs run in with the media and that campaign promise that Obama made.

“President on the campaign said that he made a flat pledge that he would not raise taxes on anybody making  over $250. So is that pledge still active?”

“Hypothetical? He Made a pledge. He said  I am not going to raise any taxes on anyone making under $250. Is that pledge still active?”

Gibbs responds, “We are going to let the process work its way through.”

Consumer Confidence Takes Unexpected Slide on Obama’s Watch … Drunken Sailor Spending and Taxes is Economies Undoing

Confidence in Obama dealing with the economy is becoming an issue. Stimulus plan was not only pork, it was a turkey. The honeymoon is over.

Consumer confidence falls unexpectedly in June. Unexpectedly? With all the deficit spending, with all the socialistic government control of banks and the car industry, with all the stimulus money borrowed against our grand children’s future. Should it really be unexpected when even the President’s approval ratings are going down? On top of it all, unemployment continues to rise, even though Obama’s admin said it would not go over 10%.

It is a pretty sad state of affairs when Obama pal, George Soros, says that borrowing costs pose a threat to economic recovery.

The consumer confidence index fell to 49.3 in June from 54.8 in May. Economists polled by Reuters had expected a healthier reading of 55.0 for the month.

Billionaire investor George Soros added to the cautionary tone, saying that rising borrowing costs posed a threat to any eventual economic recovery.

42% of Americans Say “Cap & Trade” Bill will Hurt the Economy … Thanks Obama

A special thanks to Barack Obama and the House Democrats and 8 Turncoat Republicans, taxing people in a recession for a scientific myth. There goes the economy.

42% of Americans believe that the recently passed Democratic tax known as “Cap & Trade” will hurt the US economy according to a recent Rasmussen poll. The 24% who are unsure probably have no idea what “cap & trade” really is or the damage that it will cause. Once they are informed the 42% will go even higher.

Americans have mixed feelings about the historic climate change bill that passed the House on Friday, but 42% say it will hurt the U.S. economy.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that just 19% believe the climate change bill passed by the House on Friday will help the economy. Fifteen percent (15%) say it will have no impact, and 24% are not sure.

The Weekly Standard makes a great point in that once Americans hear that Democrats and elitist liberals call those in opposition and simply stating their opinion as treasonous to the planet, the numbers will grow.

And this gets to the crux of why cap and trade may end up being such a tremendous boon to Republicans. Not only do the American people oppose it by a healthy margin, but they are having it foisted on them by elites who smugly deride their opposition as treason to planet earth.

FYI to the uninformed regarding “Cap and Trade,” according to a study by the Heritage Foundation, the legislation would cost the average family nearly $3,000 per household per year.

Obama’s Kumbaya Foreign Policy Yet Another Disaster … Ahmadinejad Accuses Obama of Interference When Barack has Done Nothing

Priceless: Ahmadinejad accuses Obama of interference in Iran when “The One” has not even lifted a finger in any meaningful manner to help the Iranian protestors. BTW, Obama gets no points for the lack of support to freedom. Just more useless words as Iranians are gunned down in the streets wanting liberty and freedom. Obama, enemies of the United States hate America no matter who the President is.

Remember during the 2008 Presidential campaign when Barack Obama stated that we needed a change in how we dealt with Iran? Obama stated  that he would meet with any foreign dictator who was an enemy of the United States without preconditions. John McCain called such foreign policy dangerous and naive. The Obamamessiah actually believed he could improve relations with Iran just by talking nicely. Guess what, John McCain was correct. Unbelievable.

It was a kindler, gentler and weaker American foreign policy that would make the US the laughing stock of the world and serve no useful purpose. Never was that more evident than with Obama’s “hot dog” foreign policy where even Obama was finally shamed into stopping the slap in the face July 4th Iranian diplomat invitation.

Republican Minority Leader Boehner: Climate bill a ‘pile of s–t’ … If the Crap Fits … Cap & Trade

What does Republican Minority House Leader John Boehner  think of “Cap & Trade” … or is it crap & trade? John Boehner called the climate “cap & trade” bill “a pile of $hit”.  Boehner know his crap, that is for certain. Weasel Zippers reminds us that Boehner is the same individual who called the stimulus bill what it really is, a “crap sandwich”….. He was correct once before.

Weird Science or Global Waring Junk Science … Same doodoo

Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) had a few choice words about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) landmark climate-change bill after its passage Friday.

When asked why he read portions of the cap-and-trade bill on the floor Friday night, Boehner told The Hill, “Hey, people deserve to know what’s in this pile of s–t.”

Here is a reminder of the 8 Republican turncoats who need to be voted out of office in 2010.

It is not just Republicans that are calling “cap & trade” a tax, interestingly enough, Barack Obama supporter Warren Buffet says it is nothing more than a HUGE tax.  Warren Buffet states that a tax on energy will be passed through to the customer. “It’s a tax like anything else” and will be passed on through to the customer … hint, that would be to “We the People”.
