Injunction Filed to Stop Obama from Taking Presidency

The lawsuit challenging Barack's birth certificate is moving onto the next step...

From WND --

After President-elect Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee let a Dec. 1 deadline slip by without responding to Pennsylvania attorney Philip J. Berg's petition for writ of certiorari demanding Obama produce a legitimate birth certificate, the attorney is now filing a motion to stop Obama from taking office in January.

Berg has filed an emergency motion for immediate injunction, America's Right blogger and legal writer Jeff Schreiber reports. Berg is asking the court to stop state certification of electors to keep the Electoral College from meeting Dec. 15 and casting votes for Obama. He is also seeking to postpone the official vote count Jan. 6 until the court reaches a decision on his appeal. More...

Legitimate or not, this sounds more like a wild goose chase. I don't think Berg stands a snowball's chance in hell. Here is a link to the online petition being circulated by Berg & WND. Currently there are only 144,174 signatures.

State Controlling Board halts purchase of New Alcohol/Breath Testing Machines

I recently posted on how the State Controlling Board & board member Senator John Carey, a Republican from Jackson County, felt deceived and mislead by Strickland’s point man, Michael Dolan, of the Ohio Lotto and Keno gambling.

Again, Carey and the board are having issues with some of Strickland’s’ schleps.

At issue this time are the new breathalyzer machine’s to be purchased by the state. After the State Controlling board approved $6.4 million for the purchase of 700 breath testing machines, the wheels came off and the Controlling Board put the approval on hold...

"I'm not pointing fingers at anybody, but I think the process somehow got tangled and we need to get more answers," said board member Sen. John Carey, a Jackson County Republican, who asked that a final decision be delayed at least two more weeks.

The board took the unusual step of allowing more than an hour of testimony from the Ohio Department of Public Safety and the health department -- two agencies defending the out-of-state contract -- before unanimously agreeing to take up the issue again on Dec. 15.

Controlling Board President Joe Secrest said he could not recall when the board has pulled back on an item it had already approved, much less allow testimony from parties urging the board to approve an expenditure. (PD)

At issue is the company making the machines, CMI, Inc., of KY has long time ties with the official from the Ohio Public Safety & Health Dept. who wrote the criteria for the purchase. Out of 17 companies that tried for the no-bid contract – CMI, Inc. ended up being the only one qualified. Pretty much the same way Cuyahoga County did with the questionable purchase of E.S. & S. voting machines earlier this year.

Also a concern is information uncovered by the Plain Dealer showing the accuracy of the Intoxilyzer 8000 is being challenged in thousands of drunk driving cases in the states of FL, AZ & MN. The company refuses to cooperate in any of these proceedings and in some instances cases are being dismissed.

The PD points out that some other disturbing items were uncovered in this testimony...

It was also revealed Monday that the state missed a deadline earlier this year for spending the money -- a three-year federal grant awarded in 2005 -- and nearly lost it.

Joshua Engel, chief legal counsel for the public safety department, acknowledged that the state had failed to spend the money within a time frame set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Public safety Director Henry Guzman asked the NHTSA to reinstate the funds and allow the state an extension until September 2009 to spend it, which was granted. Guzman told the NHTSA that he would have the machines approved, state-sanctioned and a few purchased by May -- which means the state is again behind schedule. (emphasis added)

That Strickland selected Guzman to be Public Safety Director in the first place was just mind-boggling.

This is the same Henry Guzman who was the blind mouse in charge of over-seeing minority participation on contracts for the Hopkins Airport Runway expansion. This project was wrought with mind-blowing incompetence and corruption. The project is currently under federal investigation for a wide range of minority contract violations.

In May of this year, the selection of Guzman as Public Safety Director proved to be questionable when he had the whole Ohio State Highway Patrol in disarray...

A scandal has erupted in the Ohio State Highway Patrol and it may have a lot to do with Public Safety Director, Henry Guzman and some backroom political maneuvering. Word has it that Guzman has created complete chaos in his department. More...

And yet once again - Guzman - is in the center of another fiasco. I would say this calls for a promotion of some sort - don't you Gov. Slickland?

Mo Money, Mo Money, Mo Money - Will Obama Bailout the States?

Before he has even entered the White House, we are transforming into Barack's babies. Daddy Barack is going to take care of everyone - with our own money.

Governors will be courting Daddy Barack for his financial affection when they go to meet with him on Tuesday. Girlieman Governor of Mexfornia - Arnold - will most likely be one of the first n line to polish Barack's shoes looking to score some scratch so he can pay for all his illegal border jumpers.

From Yahoo --

The nation's governors are meeting with President-elect Barack Obama on Tuesday to press their case for at least $40 billion to help pay for health care for the poor and disabled and even more for infrastructure projects like road and bridge repair.

They're likely to get a sympathetic ear.

The meeting in Philadelphia comes as Obama and Democrats controlling Congress are fashioning economic recovery legislation that could cost $500 billion or so. The measure is virtually certain to contain help for states struggling with slumping revenues and difficult budget cuts as the recession deepens. More...

The Buckeye brain fart - Rev. Ted - of Ohio, with shoe wax in his hand & ready to give a spit shine, will also be nudging his way to the front of line...

Gov. Ted Strickland on Monday announced a new $640 million state budget gap, the third deficit this budget cycle, and said the next two-year budget could be as much as $7.3 billion in the red. (WLWT).

It is pretty much certain that Daddy Obama will open up our check book and dole out some cash which will be used as another excuse for his proposed stimulus plan of unknown proportions. And again - Obama has no idea how he will pay for these handouts either.

Can somebody say The United Socialist States of America?

Strickland & Dolan Gamble with the Keno Facts

It looks like the PD made a mistake and wrote a good opinion piece on Rev. Ted's & the Lotto's deceitful little ways...

PD Opinion --

Gov. Ted Strickland's administration is proving thrifty -- with facts.

At issue is Controlling Board approval May 5 of an $18 million contract given GTech Holdings, the Ohio Lottery's longtime lead contractor, for Keno equipment. Some Republicans argued that Ohio law didn't allow the lottery to expand via Keno. The Controlling Board, 4-3 Republican, is checkpoint for unbid contracts.

The board's Republicans split, so it voted 5-2 to give GTech the contract. But as the Associated Press has revealed, what the board didn't know May 5, because Lottery Director Michael A. Dolan didn't announce it until May 12, was that the lottery was replacing GTech as lead lottery contractor with a rival, Intralot. That fact might have helped foes stall Keno by raising the specter of incompatible equipment, said Rep. Jay Hottinger, a Republican member of the Controlling Board.

According to a Strickland spokesman, Dolan didn't hoodwink the Controlling Board because "the question was not asked" and because, as of May 5, Intralot's contract was not a done deal. And a lottery spokeswoman has said that "virtually all the equipment will be reusable."

Republican Sen. John Carey, a Controlling Board member who voted for the Keno contract, stopped short of saying he felt deceived.

But taxpayers should ask: What's wrong with frankness? If Strickland's aides act this way when the Controlling Board is 4-3 GOP, what timed-release revelations will Ohioans see after Jan. 1, when Democrats run Ohio's House, and the board will be 4-3 Democrat?

Didn't hoodwink? OK he convienently skirted around the issue. he purposely misrepresented the facts. Facts that would have obviously caused other Controlling Board members to possibly change their vote. Knowing they were in negotiations with Intralot and NOT informing the board shows a complete breach of public trust and is lacking in any sense of duty on Dolan's part.

What they did is no differant than a parent asking their kid if they snort coke and the kid answers no. Since he only smokes crack - technically he is not lying.

Clinton's appointment to Secretary of State shows No Sign of Change

Hillary seems to have hit a road bump on her way to being named Secretary of State. The Constitution forbids it...

From WND --

The constitutional quandary arises from a clause that forbids members of the Senate from being appointed to civil office, such as the secretary of state, if the "emoluments," or salary and benefits, of the office were increased during the senator's term.

The second clause of Article 1, Section 6, of the Constitution reads, "No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office."

During Clinton's current term in the Senate, the salary for Cabinet officers was increased from $186,600 to $191,300. Since the salary is scheduled to again be raised in January 2009, not only Clinton but all sitting Senate members could be considered constitutionally ineligible to serve in Obama's Cabinet. More...

The article notes there are ways to get around this. When Tricky Dick appointed Senator William Saxbe in 1973, Nixon convinced the Senate to reduce Saxbe's salary below the amount it was when he voted to increase it 1969.

This maneuver is not strange to the Clintons - Bush #1 also did it for Bill Clinton by appointing Sen. Lloyd Bentsen to serve as his treasury secretary.

Where the hell is all this "change" from the old politics of D.C. we were promised?!?

Senator Ted "What Bridge" Kennedy being honored by Harvard

It looks like everyone is going ape shit with joy over Senator Ted "What Bridge" Kennedy lately...

From USA Today --

The Massachusetts Maritime Academy has announced it will rename its training ship The Kennedy in tribute to the Kennedy clan. Officials in Boston have unveiled a proposal to build a national institute focused on the U.S. Senate and Kennedy's legacy. Kennedy has even won honors from the governments of Mexico and Chile.

The highest-profile event was to come Monday afternoon, with Harvard University set to bestow an honorary degree....

Harvard says the honor recognizes Kennedy's "lifelong commitment to public service and his tireless efforts as a champion for a range of social issues," including health care, civil rights, labor, the environment and education. Others who have been honored with special convocations include Nelson Mandela and Winston Churchill. More...

Sure did - he denied Mary Jo Kopechne her civil rights to freedom while she labored for breath when he left her in the car he drove off the bridge, after a night of drinking, into the enviromentally friendly Poucha Pond where he then refused to get her health care.

He was educated enough to know by abandoning her - his Kennedy Klan could use their lifelong commitment to public service to whitewash the incident.

Now before any of you lug-headed asshat lefty's tell me how terrible I am for slamming Kennedy because he has cancer - BITE ME!

He left a women to die - I hope his head explodes!

Barack fills transition team with Contributors, Bundlers and Lobbyists

Well, well, it looks like President-elect Barack Ochange isn't changing much at all when it comes to doing business in DC - like he claimed he would be.

Open Secrets is in the process of reviewing Barack's transistion team and to date they have uncovered some very disturbing trends for a man that ran on the mantra of change. Below is the article and some of their findings - along with a link for the data bases they are creating.

From Open Secrets --

Members of Barack Obama's transition team weren't necessarily selected solely on their résumés and expertise--some may have scored positions over similarly qualified individuals because they supported the president-elect by bundling money for his presidential campaign or opening their own wallets to him. And although Obama prohibits registered lobbyists from making financial contributions to his transition, influence peddlers past and present are showing up on the team that's building the foundation for the next administration.

The Obama transition office recently announced nearly 400 individuals who have been dispatched to review the workings of federal agencies. Our researchers here at the Center for Responsive Politics are working to match these individuals to our databases of contributors, bundlers and lobbyists.

Check out the full list of names, along with tallies of their campaign contributions and links to their profiles in our Lobbying, Revolving Door and Bundler databases here. Here's a summary of what we've found:

$824,155: Minimum total that transition team members contributed to Obama's campaign and to joint fundraising committees formed to support his election. Like figures below, this amount may well be higher. Lacking more than just a name for many team members, CRP has not been able to match everyone to our databases.

$3,869.27: Average contribution to Obama and joint fundraising committees from those on the transition team who contributed to the president-elect this election cycle. Supporters were limited to giving $4,600 directly to Obama since the start of 2007 but could give additional money to the Democratic party.

56: Percent of all announced transition team members who contributed to Obama or a joint fundraising committee supporting his candidacy.

$2 million: Total amount that donating transition team members gave to Democratic candidates and committees this cycle.

$7,977.04: Average contribution that donating transition team members gave to all federal candidates, parties and committees this election cycle. Any individual could give up to $108,200 this election cycle. The percentage of Americans who give even $200 to federal politics is less than one-half of 1 percent.

6: Number of team members who, apparently, didn't give money to any Democratic party committee or candidate, including Obama, but contributed to Republicans or other parties.

23: Number of transition team leaders who are, or have been since 1998, federally registered lobbyists. Seven of them were registered lobbyists as of the start of this year. Obama has prohibited currently registered lobbyists from working on his transition team in fields of policy on which they've tried to influence Congress in the last year. They're also required to stop all lobbying activity during their transition
work.

14: Number of transition team members who raised at least $50,000 for Obama's campaign. Every one of these bundlers also gave at least $2,300 to Obama out of his or her own pocket.

$2.8 million: Minimum total amount bundled by members of the transition team.

As we continue to match names, please check our new Transition Team Tracker for
updates.

"Bipartisan Barack" doesn't look so bipartisan either - only 6 Republicans?!?

Girlieman of the Week - District Supt. David Cash

From Politically Incorrect Gazette --

Girliemen of the Week
Date Awarded: November 28, 2008

Girlieman: District Supt. David Cash
Antics: Craven cowardice, knee-jerk Korrectness

For decades, the snot-gobblers attending two Southern Mexifornia elementary schools honored Thanksgiving day, with the same ritual:

‘...[K]indergartners at Condit and Mountain View elementary schools take annual turns dressing up and visiting the other school for a Thanksgiving feast. This year, the Mountain View children would have dressed as Native Americans and walked to Condit, whose students would have dressed as Pilgrims...’ (L.A. Times)

It was strictly no harm, no foul, since it gave the tykes a chance to exercise their creative skills, while making, and decorating, Pilgrim hats and/or feathers out of that tyke staple, construction paper. Class projects, a hint of history mixed in with American myth? What’s not to like? Everything, according to a Siberian-American Korrectnik Egghead (she's an English Professor at a notoriously Korrect Ivory Tower, Univ. of California, Riverside), Michelle Raheja:

‘..."It's demeaning," Michelle Raheja, the mother of a kindergartner at Condit Elementary School, wrote to her daughter's teacher. "I'm sure you can appreciate the inappropriateness of asking children to dress up like slaves (and kind slave masters), or Jews (and friendly Nazis), or members of any other racial minority group who has struggled in our nation's history...There is nothing to be served by dressing up as a racist stereotype."...’ (L.A. Times)

In a rational world, a school administrator would tell this caterwauling Korrectnik cunt where to stick it. Unhappily, this government cess-schools' district supervisor is a gutless, cringing, wonder named David Cash, an alleged man in name only. Little Davie cowered in his corner, ignored the outrage blasting at this Raheja bitch from district parents, then pulled the plug on this four decades old, kid-friendly tradition.

Davie gutted the festivities, because he hasn’t got the nads to tell this raving Siberian-American, lunatic bitch to shut the hell up and sit down. Instead, he banned the costumes which, invariably delighted the tykes, making a mockery of the festivities which would proceed without the construction paper costumes.

For letting this Korrectnik cunt dictate district policy...for surrendering to a blatant politically correct agenda without a fight...for spinelessly destroying a favorite moment in the tyke school year, Little Davie Cash is the Politically Incorrect Gazette’s Girlieman of the Week.
