Quote Of The Half-Decade @TedNugent

by Smitty

Bad Ted; bad (emphasis mine):

“I do apologize – not necessarily to the President – but on behalf of much better men than myself, like the best governor in America, Gov. Rick Perry, [and] the best attorney general in America, Greg Abbott [of Texas],” Nugent said.

“I apologize for using the street fighter terminology, like ‘subhuman mongrel,’ instead of just using more understandable language such as ‘violator of his oath to the Constitution,’” Nugent continued. “I apologize for using the term. I will try to elevate my vernacular to the level of those great men that I’m learning from in the world of politics.”

The #OccupyResoluteDesk School Of Leadership & Management

by Smitty

It is slightly redundant to point and laugh at the useless tool, I know. However, we can be reasonably confident that he’ll never be held accountable for the damage he’s done here under the sun, so laughter is as good as it gets. We’re certainly paying for it.

As much as I love #OccupyResoluteDesk, it is starting to get a bit dated. The instantly classic “I can do whatever I want” does bring a certain South Park character to mind. Should we refer to BHO as ‘Jimmy Cartman’? Tying our previously worst president with a cartoon character seems to capture Obama about right. Thoughts?

‘L’Etat, C’est Moi’

President Obama is a law unto himself:

“ObamaCare” is useful shorthand for the Affordable Care Act not least because the law increasingly means whatever President Obama says it does on any given day.

He has once again delayed the employer mandate. The timetable for implementation of the law — which was written into the law — turns out to have been meaningless, and our latter-day Sun King has granted so many exemptions to the law that it has no meaning beyond his royal will. Everybody made fun of Nancy Pelosi for saying that Congress had to pass the bill (which neither she nor any other Democrat member of Congress had read in its entirety) so we would know what was in it.

Now we see her point, however: It didn’t really matter what was in the law, because Democrats don’t believe in the Rule of Law, and ObamaCare was essentially carte blanche: “That’s the good thing about being president, I can do whatever I want.”

 

Can You Make #ObamaCare Other Than History’s Most Expensive Pile Of Bollocks?

by Smitty

This petulant assertion would come close to funny, if it didn’t come from a guy so mired in thuggish scandals. The GOP should get the audio and run that in a fundraising loop. This November isn’t an election; it’s a pre-impeachment vote.

Failure Is Not a Public-Relations Problem: The Brutal Economics of ObamaCare

“Obama: Anatomy of a World Leader,” by Alex Gray (detail)

The Congressional Budget Office report about the economic impact of ObamaCare is out, and it paints an ugly picture. The Hill:

The new healthcare law will slow economic growth over the next decade, costing the nation about 2.5 million jobs and contributing to a $1 trillion increase in projected deficits, the Congressional Budget Office said in a report released Tuesday.

The Washington Post:

The Affordable Care Act will reduce the number of full-time workers by more than 2 million in coming years, congressional budget analysts said Tuesday in the most detailed analysis of the law’s impact on jobs.

ObamaCare is a disaster in pretty much exactly the same ways that Republican opponents of the bill predicted four years ago, although it’s also been a disaster in ways that even its harshest opponents did not predict. The problem for Obama, Democrats and their media allies is that they have treated the failure of ObamaCare as a matter of public-relations, as if the reality of failure could be concealed by a P.R. blitz claiming that it was actually a success. But the laws of economics can’t be changed by wishful thinking or political spin, and the failure of ObamaCare is a matter of basic economics.

 

 


Could Jamie Casino Find ‘A Smidgen’ Of Corruption At The IRS?

by Smitty

Via Brietbart and Instapundit, we may have found just the guy who can help our poor, beleaguered, yet supremely self-assured Rodeo Clown-in-Chief. Clearly, #OccupyResoluteDesk needs help to track down that non-existent smidgen of corruption so dreadful in its purely fanciful form that it caused Lois Lerner to take the 5th.

This blog sees a Chief Executive in a jam, and raises the call to get that man some assistance sorting all this. Say, an electoral tsunami on the first Tuesday in November.

 

Obama: ‘What IRS Scandal?’

The big news out of Bill O’Reilly’s Sunday interview with President Obama was the latter’s claim that there wasn’t “a smidgen of corruption” in the IRS scandal. Just a bunch of inept bureaucrats accidentally targeting the president’s political enemies:

Rather, he said, IRS officials were confused about how to implement the law governing those kinds of tax-exempt groups.
“There were some bone-headed decisions,” Obama conceded.
But when asked whether corruption, or mass corruption, was at play, he responded: “Not even mass corruption — not even a smidgen of corruption.”
He acknowledged that then-IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman had been to the White House more than 100 times but said he couldn’t recall speaking to him on any of those occasions.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

 

#OccupyResoluteDesk Gives O’Reilly 10 Mins Of Variations On ‘Shut Up, Peasant’

by Smitty

Breitbart embeds the video. Bill (love him or not) gives BHO the hardest 10 minutes of interviewing he’s had in 5 years of the running cock-up he calls his administration. Highly recommended.

Barack: you’re a no-talent rodeo clown. Hats off to your slick efforts to sell a pile of crap as competence. Nobody who’s sober, and has two brain cells, believes anything you say, irrespective of topic.
