Obama says: "I expect this tax deal to improve the economy..."
"...but the GOP had to hold the American people hostage to make me do it."

WHERE'S BRAD SHERMAN?
California Incumbent Refuses to Debate Challenger,
Blows Off Dinner Honoring Law Enforcement, Firefighters
in His Own District
Longtime Congressional incumbent Brad Sherman (D. - 27th District, CA) has been keeping a low profile this election year. Save for a couple of carefully scripted Potemkin Town Halls in front of pre-packed safe crowds of union members and government workers, he's been largely invisible in his district.
He continues to refuse to debate his Republican challenger, Mark Reed.
He has little or no visible ground game in his district.
Now he has blown off an annual event, the Woodland Hills American Legion dinner honoring the law-enforcement and fire-fighters of the year in the community, that he had committed to attend.
Mr. Sherman seems to have a problem with meeting the voters of his district this year.

COAST GUARD STOPS OIL CLEAN UP
Look, I know Coasties. I respect the hell out of them and the job they do.
But whatever deskmonkey made this decision should be personally sent down to the beach with a box of kleenex to pick up tar balls. In mess dress.

OBAMA SOLVES GULF COAST CRISIS...
"It will be the mother of all junk shots," explained Obama during a brief stop at the nineteenth hole.
When reporters suggested this plan might be a hasty and ill-conceived PR stunt, Gibbs disagreed. " I can assure you with complete accuracy that we have given this plan as much thought and effort as we gave the Tennessee flood relief effort."
Barack Obama -- Master of Disaster!
Meanwhile, as Obama "confronts oil spill's spreading damage on the Gulf Coast", let's take a look at some of the other places he's confronted the oil spill's spreading damage during the crisis...

John McCain - “Doctors Make Too Much Money” (1984)/John McCain - 'Medicare Cuts...irresponsible...a price Americans should not be asked to pay." (2009)
HT: Take Back Medicine:
"My activism, such as it is, begins with those very words, on the very day they are uttered
The year: 1984. The Reagan Administration is at the helm. I learn that the newly instituted Prospective Payment System(“DRG’s”), which pays hospitals a flat fee based on theadmitting diagnosis of a Medicare patient, irrespective of length of stay or intensity of service, is creating significant problems with respect to proper medical care. A physician tells me he fears a patient died due to these novel cost control measures. I learn of a woman who cannot walk across her hospital room because she has not been provided with the oxygen she requires.
The Maricopa County Medical Journal, Roundup, mentions John McCain, saying he is a “friend” of Medicine.
In my untutored, apolitical, naïve state, I decide to alert this man to a problem I fear he does not - could not - know exists. (After all, I still believe the Government is here to help us.) Learning that McCain will speak at an open public forum at the Scottsdale Center for the Arts, I make my first foray into the public arena. Sitting on the balcony, one of my Medicare patients at my side, I express my concerns about the deteriorating care caused by this novel rationed payment system (for hospitals - NOT doctors) known as DRG’s.
John McCain, 2009 -- “Today I introduced my amendment to address the Democrat’s drastic and dramatic cuts to the Medicare program under their so-called ‘health care reform’ legislation,” said Senator John McCain. “My amendment would send this legislation back to the Finance Committee with instructions to report the bill to the Senate without these irresponsible cuts...Simply put, these Medicare cuts will impacts senior’s access to quality care. This is a price that American’s should not be asked to pay.”
Just say anything, Johnny... we'll never notice the difference.

After I speak my piece, the first words out of McCain’s mouth are these: .
''Out of Control Medical costs are “all doctors’ fault.” ‘Medical care is chewing up a larger and larger percentage of the national budget, hampering our competitiveness as a nation.’ He says ‘we need to solve the problem.’
I rebut, telling him I agree that we have to help control costs, which is why, from my first day in practice, I have told patients who inform me of a financial problem, to “pay what they can afford” of my fee.
The red-faced McCain shrinks one foot on stage. People ask me for my card when the meeting ends. Shocked and surprised by McCain’s unexpected vitriol, I plan a speech to the hospital staff, imploring them not to join the Health Plans that are just beginning to inundate Arizona. My ‘mission’ begins." -- Joseph Scherzer, M.D.

Henry Waxman (D-Weekly World News) Grovels Before Corporate Robber Barons, Cancels Health Care Show Trials!
Speculation on the Hill is that his crack team of Democratic Congressional staffers reminded the Democratic Congressman that he voted for the bill requiring the publication of said notices following the criminal collapse of major Demnocrat donor Enron.
More informed speculation centered around Waxman's fear that the CEO's would bring dog whistles whose high pitched notes would disorient the congressman, causing him to fly erratically and bump into walls in front of the C-SPAN cameras...
Obama's Secretary of the Navy to Name New Warship for Lying, Thieving, Corrupt, Slanderous Congressional Hack...
HT: Commander Salamander
Oh Hell No...
"The Navy’s 10th San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock will be named for Rep. John Murtha, the long-serving Pennsylvania Democrat who chaired the powerful House appropriations defense subcommittee before he died in February.
"According to a Navy memorandum obtained by Navy Times, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus notified Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gary Roughead that he had selected “John P. Murtha” for the previously unnamed LPD 26. It’s the latest example of the Navy breaking a convention for naming its warships; the previous ships in the San Antonio class have been named for American cities."
Thanks!

For those of you with short memories...
Yeah, Marines won't mind serving aboard this ship...

Are we still bigoted assholes, you old fool?
2008: "...The first [quote] is where McCain said that those who oppose amnesty for illegal aliens are "going to destroy the fucking party”.
"The second [quote] is in a call with Senator Lindsey Graham where McCain said in frustration at the rebuke he was getting, "Listen to these people ... Why would I want to be the leader of a party of such assholes?". Graham too called those opposed to amnesty bigots."
KICKBACK JACK MURTHA KICKS BUCKET
The notoriously corrupt, racebaiting Democratic Congressman from Pennsylvania at the center of the ABSCAM and PMA corruption scandals, who spearheaded the bogus prosecution of the Haditha Marines...-
Funy, he didn't look a day over 90. Guess wallowing in all that moral and political corruption takes a lot out of a man.
Better people than I am will be trotting out the speak-no-ill-of-the-dead-meme. Even Ace of AOS says he won't dance on Murtha's grave.
I will. I say we tamp that SOB down good, just to be safe...
No, Congressman, they didn't...
is dead at 77.

Barack Obama: "George Bush has been sneaking back into Washington...
...and adding stuff to the laws'n'stuff while the decent folk were sleeping." Take for example this passage from his "discussion" with the GOP congressmembers that somehow didn't get a lot of press...
"If you look at the package that we've presented -- and there's some stray cats and dogs that got in there that we were eliminating, we were in the process of eliminating. For example, we said from the start that it was going to be important for us to be consistent in saying to people if you can have your -- if you want to keep the health insurance you got, you can keep it, that you're not going to have anybody getting in between you and your doctor in your decision making. And I think that some of the provisions that got snuck in might have violated that pledge."
Now on earth could that have happened if EEEEEVILE GEORGE BUSH hadn't been sneaking back into the Congressmen's offices by night and adding stuff when nobody was looking? Surely the Democrats of the most open and transparent Administration EVER would NEVER have been going behind the back of Barack Obama to undercut his agenda! Why, he's the President!
"Look harder, everyone! George Bush could be anywhere!"
And don't tell me George Bush wouldn't pull a stunt like that. Look at all the other things he's done when Barack Obama wasn't looking:George Bush pimped Barney Frank to the head of Fannie Mae and forced that poor misunderstood gay man to hawk his garbage, unrecoverable mortgages to the banks.
He threatened to kill Chris Dodd's kitten unless he took that Countrywide mortgage.
George Bush hacked the .doc file to the Stimulus Bill and changed the words 'DON'T spend' to 'spend'...every time.
He broke into the Nancy Pelosi's office on Christmas Eve and stole the real vote tallies on the Health Care Bill. The truth is, NO Democrat voted for it ('C'mon, guys, we haven't even read this turkey!'), but George Bush is just that evil.
When Barack Obama was pondering the future of a peaceful Afghanistan, George Bush locked him out in the Rose Garden and used his bootleg Presidential seal to send 35,000 more troops to Afghanistan. (He would have sent the whole 40,000 but Dick Cheney convinced him fiddling with the number would piss off the left AND the right).
"Dammit, Bush, you put those Marines down right this minute!"
When Obama visited Japan, Bush told him to bend over and pretend to barf on the Emperor's shoes.
"They really love that kind of down-home humoratin'!"
The man's like a freaking Texas Ninja! There's just no keeping him out! Plainly, George Bush should never be allowed anywhere near Washington DC or the Obama White House again. Those folks are just too damned naive and impressionable...
