Girlieman: Barry "Prompter Punk" Obama
Antics: Hiding from a fawning media

Messiah Barry is painfully aware that his unscripted utterances tell intellectually active rational adults how utterly unprepared, unqualified, he is for that Oval Office job. His fear of getting too real makes him take extreme measures, when faced with a question and answer session.

He has to know that every female ‘alleged’ journalist wants to bed him. He has to know that every male "alleged" journalist wants to bend over and ‘take it like a man’ from their Messiah, Presfo Barry. Despite that, as revealed by the following quote, he goes gutless and girlie during his news conferences.

A Chicago Sun-Times columnist, Carol Marin, let the cat out of the bag when she wrote:

"The press corps, most of us, don't even bother raising our hands any more to ask questions because Obama always has before him a list of correspondents who've been advised they will be called upon that day. "

Gutless to the core, Prompter Punk preselects certain trusted acolytes within the press core. After a ‘you ask me this, and I’ll answer thusly’, planning session, Prompter Punk programs his teleprompter accordingly. Stage managed press conferences? You better believe it, ‘he’s George Soros’ finger puppet’ Sparky.

Obviously, Prompter Punk doesn’t trust himself to speak freely, unscripted, when he’s surrounded by the slavishly devoted Broadcast Blowjob Brigade. What the hell will he do when he faces one of America’s sworn enemies?

We can smell the rancid stench of cowardice coming off you, Prompter Punk, and it’s not our idea of a good time. For being gutless wonder with delusions of godhood, you, Barry "Prompter Punk" Obama, are the Politically Incorrect Gazette’s Girlieman of the Week.

Steaming Load Award - Bullhead City (Arizona) buttheads snuff out the Eternal Flame.

From Politically Incorrect Gazette --

Steaming Load of the Week

Steaming Load #1: Bullhead City (Arizona) buttheads snuff out the Eternal Flame.

It’s called the Medal of Honor Memorial and it’s located at the Arizona Veterans Memorial Park, alongside the Colorado River. Paid for, and built by, American veterans, the memorial had a special meaning for any patriotic individual who wants to honor those who died defending us. That’s why the memorial includes an eternal flame, which signifies, among other things, they we remember, we honor, those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

The problems started, after the memorial was turned over to the Elected Tormentors in Bullhead City. Everything was spiffy, for these political punks, until the first gas bill for the eternal flame landed on the desk of a Bullhead City bean counter, in late December. Patriotism is one thing, but they’re not willing to spend $961 a month to prove it.

"It caught us by surprise," City Manager Tim Ernster said Thursday. "What we decided to do for the time being is to turn the flame on ... for special events, for Veterans Day, Fourth of July, Memorial Day — those types of activities." (Mohave Daily News)

The asshats snuffed out the flame on a Monday. On the following Friday, the local fishwrap published the thrilling news. By the next Monday, the blowback was so impressive that the Elected Tormentors relit the flame. Game, set, match? Not quite yet.

The Bullhead City bean counters are still whining about the gas bill, but they’re backing away from snuffing it out. Now, they want to have a ‘smaller’ flame for regular use, and reserve the bigger, more impressive, one, for those special, remember the troops occasions. The idea sucks, and you can quote me.

If Bullhead City’s bean counter can’t carve $1,000 a month out of the city’s budget to pay for this flame to salute our honored dead, then it’s time for Bullhead City’s rational adults, to flush these Elected Tormentor turds.

What in Cuyahoga County cost $407,936.83 to run in 2007?

So what’s your guess? DiMora’s lunch tab? No, its not Jimmy. The county commissioners’ chauffer service? No, it’s not the commissioners. A county judge’s or a suburban Mayor’s campaign? No, it was not a campaign. The Republican Party of Cuyahoga County?????????????? BINGO!!!!!!

Let’s take a look at some of the highlights or lowlights for 2007.

POLITICAL WORK IS A CALLING

IN-HOUSE PHONE SYSTEM
$10,192.68

PARTY PROVIDED CELL PHONES
$4,193.15 (First 6 Months)
$6,059.00 (Last 6 Months)
TOTAL: $10,252.15

IN-HOUSE PHONE SYSTEM + CELL PHONES = $20,444.83

And you get pissed at Verizon for charging you roaming minutes? Maybe someone at RPCC Headquarters should be taking that annoying phone call from AT&T about switching plans for a better rate.

RENT: AND YOU DON’T EVEN GET SNAPPY SHOW TUNES

RENT AND UTILITIES
$19,729.67 (First 6 Months)
$20,179.29 (Last 6 Months)
TOTAL: $39,908.96

Well you know downtown D.C. rent is just astronomical. Oh, wait we are in downtown Cleveland, not D.C. A downtown that can not fill office space to save its life. You would think with the mortgage crisis the media keeps going on about we could get a sweet deal and buy a place. When you buy it, you don’t have to pay rent. Hmmm… At least it has ample parking, oh wait…

PARK IT!

PARKING PASSES
$3,450.00 (First 6 Months)
$3,725.00 (Last 6 Months)
TOTAL: $7,175.00

There is ample downtown parking. Or at least that’s what they tell the ward leaders when they have to trek down their for a meeting. Costs range from $.25/hr for a meter to $25 for a parking ticket and everything in between. Hopefully there is a Cavs or Indians game too. It is so ample that we pay for it. Funny thing is they work right next to tower city which has a rapid stop and a set of bus stops right in front of the building. Let’s see $75 per monthly pass X 12 months X 3 people = $2,700. A savings of almost $5,000. I bet if we tell them this they would gladly save the party that money, heck they may even offer to pay for their own parking, if they’re not so inclined to take the bus, saving us even more!

DA DA DA DA DA DA - - - - CHARGE!

PARTY CREDIT CARD CHARGES
$7,620.00 (First 6 Months)
$7,300.00 (Last 6 Months)
TOTAL: $14,920.00

You thought your teenager was bad? Yes, while it is wise to keep little Susie away from Legacy Village with pa pa’s American Express, you may want to keep your RPCC children under just as tight of a leash.

WORKIN’ 9 TO 5

SALARIES (Frost, Backiel, Cizmadia/Luketic)
$99, 849.75 (First 6 months)
$99, 935.44 (Last 6 months)
TOTAL: $199,785.19

Now you say, wait they work incredibly long hours, especially during campaign season. Never forget Confucius say, one man’s “work” is another man’s web surfing time.” Although they do put in long hours, what exactly is accomplished by them, what about down time when they are not directly in the midst of a campaign's height?

FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF $407,936.83

So we return to where we started. What is this money buying? This number is a most fruitful point of discussion. The point is, are you getting what you pay for? Or better yet, who is paying for this and why are they? What are they getting for it?

See my fellow members of King's court, a good blog post poses more questions than it answers. Champaign wishes and caviar dreams!

Team Obama Throws Richardson Under the Bus

Again making excuses for Obama's poor judgment of a persons character....

Sources tell ABC News that officials on the Obama Transition Team feel that before he was formally offered the job of commerce secretary, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson was not forthcoming with them about the federal investigation that is looking into whether the governor steered a state contract towards a major financial contributor.

Once the investigation became more widely known through national media reports last month, sources tell ABC News, the Obama Transition Team realized the FBI would not be able to give Richardson a clean political bill of health before the new administration is ready to send his nomination up to the Senate for confirmation.

The Richardson camp says the governor was forthcoming, with sources close to the governor noting that there had been reports about the controversy in local media such as the Albuquerque Journal as far back as August 2008. The governor discussed the investigation with the Obama team, they say, and believes that he and his administration have done nothing wrong.

From 2004 to 2005, CDR Financial Products, a Beverly Hills, Calif.-based company founded and run by David Rubin, received nearly $1.5 million through the New Mexico Finance Authority for advising the state in a complex highway funding project pushed by Richardson. In roughly that same time period, CDR and Rubin gave approximately $100,000 to political organizations run by Richardson, including one that paid for his and his staff's expenses at the 2004 Democratic convention. Neither the grand jury nor the FBI has interviewed Richardson.

President-elect Obama did not ask Richardson to withdraw his name from consideration, sources from both camps say, but the fact that the confirmation seemed untenable in the short term was apparent to everyone involved.

Franken Wins Minnesota Senate Race

How's this for a kick in the conservative cookies! Beaten by a washed-up SNL comedian turned liberal talk show host!

From Yahoo News --

Democrat Al Franken will be declared the winner of the tight U.S. Senate contest in Minnesota, emerging from a ballot recount with a slim margin over Republican Norm Coleman, state officials said on Sunday.

But Coleman, the incumbent, has asked Minnesota's supreme court to require that a few hundred additional absentee ballots be included in the recount -- and he could then ask the court to investigate the contest all over again.

"At the moment, Franken has a 225-vote lead," after the weekend counting of what were deemed the last uncounted absentee ballots, said Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie, a Democrat who oversaw the process.

Senate Republicans have pledged not to seat Franken provisionally while the race is still in doubt. Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer of New York urged that Franken be seated, which would expand the party's majority to 58 of the 100 members. More...

Please no comments how Franken stole the election from Coleman because of a Democrat was Secretary of State. Coleman should be ashamed that Franken even made it a race!

Iranian AIDS doctors tried in secret in Iran's Islamic dungeon

And people complain about our justice system!

From Persian Journal --

Dr. Kamiar Alaei, an internationally recognized AIDS physician who is a doctoral student in the University at Albany's School of Public Health, was tried in a secret army trial Wednesday in Iran along with his brother, Dr. Arash Alaei. A verdict is expected Wednesday.

The highly irregular one-day trial of the brothers, who operated AIDS clinics in their home country of Iran for years with tacit government approval, involved secret charges along with public indictments that the brothers conspired to overthrow the Iranian government.

The prosecution cited the brothers' participation at international AIDS conferences as part of their scheme to foment a so-called "velvet revolution" against Tehran, according to the Physicians for Human Rights.

Their court appearance followed a six-month detention in Tehran's notorious Evin prison. If convicted, it's unclear what the severity of the sentence might be since some of the charges have not been revealed. More...

With the love the Iranian government shows for gay's - These guy's obviously don't stand a chance of getting a fair trial.

The usual punishment in Iran for being a pansy-fied Persian is the death penalty. That these guys were giving medical care to gay guys - forget about it - they too will be swinging from a rope.

Richardson withdraws as Obama's Secretary of Commerce

Barack Obama's Cabinet is falling apart before he even put the doors on!

H/T for Bill at Keane Observation for this keen observation...

Under investigation for "pay-to-play" allegations, New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson has withdrawn his name as a nominee for secretary of the commerce. That didn't take long. Change we can believe in is looking a lot like the last Democratic administration with their myriad ethical lapses.

It's a darn shame he had to withdraw from the confirmation process. It would have been good theater considering Sen. Byrd's declaration that Richardson would never get confirmed for another government job based on how he screwed up as Energy Secretary.

Oh well, if we can't have Richardson giving up a governor seat maybe Obama can find another senator to appoint to the commerce job. At the current rate the Dems will have close to 30 seats to defend in 2010. More seats they have to defend the easier it will be to pick off the low hanging fruit (like Harry Reid).

I swear I heard Richardson singing praise about Obama's integrity during the election, and Obama the same for Richardson.

So what does that say about Obama? It says a crook thinks he has integrity?!?! That's great!

But more importantly what does it say about Obama? What was the one flaw about him, continually pointed out on here? His proven track record of making poor character judgements (Rev. Wright, William Ayers, Tony Rezco, etc...).

We can only hope any other poor character judgements on Obama's part are exposed before his Cabinet appoinments are confirmed.

Harry "The Racist" Reid wanted to fill Obama's Seat

This is why I just love Blago! Even though it appears he is a crook - he has no problem challenging and exposing the other Democrat crooks!

From Yahoo News --

Illinois' embattled governor complained through his spokesman Saturday that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is guilty of a conflict of interest in that Reid telephoned him in early December to discuss the seat being vacated by President-elect Barack Obama.

Lucio Guerrero, spokesman for Gov. Rod Blagojevich, said he didn't know firsthand which candidates the Nevada Democrat supported during the call, but said he knows Reid's candidates did not include Roland Burris, the man the governor recently picked for Obama's seat.

"I think the governor believes there is a conflict of interest — that Reid showed he has a horse in the race and Roland Burris wasn't one of them," Guerrero said.

From what I can see, for a Democrat, Burris appears to be a good selection. Other than being appointed by Blago, I see no reason why his appointment shouldn't be confirmed.

It appears that, Harry "The Racist" Reid, doesn't agree. I guess Reid feels since they have gotten their "token" elected president - they have enough black democrats for now...

Reid reportedly opposed the appointments of Democratic Reps. Jesse Jackson Jr. and Danny Davis because the Democratic leader feared they would lose the seat to a Republican in the 2010 general election. Reid also allegedly opposed Emil Jones, the powerful black leader of the Illinois Senate, on the same grounds.

"What is clear to me is that every candidate that was African-American was denied and every other candidate was acceptable," said Wright, adding, "I'm not going to read too much into that."

How do Democrats deal with the overt racism in their party - they ignore it by not reading too much in to it!

U.S. Blocks Gaza Cease-Fire

Initially calling for a cease-fire in Gaza, it appears Bush has changed his mind. This makes absolutely no sense!

From Fox News --

Libyan Ambassador Giadalla Ettalhi said the United States during the discussions objected to "any outcome" on the proposed statement. He said efforts were made to compromise on a weaker press statement but there was no consensus.

Several other council members, speaking on condition of anonymity because negotiations were closed, also said the U.S. was responsible for the council's failure to issue a statement.

The U.S., Israel's closest ally, has designated Hamas a terrorist organization. U.S. deputy ambassador Alejandro Wolff said the United States saw no prospect of Hamas abiding by last week's council call for an immediate end to the violence. Therefore, he said, a new statement "would not be adhered to and would have no underpinning for success, (and) would not do credit to the council." More...

While Israel has every right to defend their borders and protect their residents from terrorist rocket attacks - continuing the the violence will only worsen the situation. I am not sticking up for either side - as both claim they are right. And yes, I, the scorched earth fighting/kill all terrorists type of guy, believe Israel should put a halt on furthering the ground attack.

This is a very complicated situation. First, in my opinion, Bush should NOT have pushed for elections that Hamas was sure to win - but he did.

Unfortunately, in this case and unlike Iraq, a regime change will not work. Israel is fighting an ideology - a movement - from a sub-set of world wide radical Islam - not a country. Even the son of Hamas leader, who has converted to Christianity & denounced the group, agrees...

JONATHAN HUNT: Do you believe that Israel can ever strike a peace deal with Hamas?

MOSAB HASSAN YOUSEF: There is no chance. Is there any chance for fire to co-exist with the water? There is no chance. Hamas can play politics for 10 years, 15 years; but ask any one of Hamas’ leaders, ‘Okay, what’s going to happen after that? Are you just going to live and co-exist with Israel forever?’ The answer is going to be no … unless they want to do something against the Koran. But it’s their ideology and they can’t just say ‘We’re not going to do it.’ So there is no chance. It’s not about Israel, it’s not about Hamas: it’s about both ideologies. There is no chance. (H/T Conservative Culture)

Continuing the ground attack only plays into the hands of the Hamas terrorists and gives other Islamic regimes and terrorists groups a rallying cause. Instead of responsibly inserting ourselves, calling for a cease-fire and playing 'good guys', the U.S. only adds fuel to the "kill the apostates" fire by blocking the cease-fire demand.

Don't get me wrong, Hamas is a terrorist group and must be stopped. But it cannot be done by Israel, for that matter, it cannot be done by any country imposing their will. It must be done from within by the Palestinians living in Gaza and the West Bank.

Reason # 947, 320 for the Death Penalty

I became so angry after reading this story - I punched the wall! What an F'ing animal this guy is...

From Fox News --

A man who initially told police gunmen kidnapped his 2 1/2-year-old son was arrested Saturday, accused of committing an "extremely hideous" murder because he was ordered to pay child support, Police Superintendent Warren Riley said.

Danny Platt confessed, told police where to find the child's body and will be booked with first-degree murder of Ja' Shawn Powell, Riley said at a news conference.

"He had said he would kill either his wife or his child before he paid child support," which he recently had been ordered to do, Riley said.

Riley said Platt eventually confessed and told officers where to find the body.

Rarely am I at a loss for words... this is one of those times. May God bless this childs soul and send his father to burn in HELL!
