White House asked California paper
to take out unflattering
remark about first lady

The Daily Caller, by Mike Riggs


A small weekly paper in California claims that a White House official asked it to remove a sentence from a “benign” feature about Marine One because it reflected poorly on first lady Michelle Obama.

In an email to The Daily Caller, Gina Channell-Allen, president of the Pleasanton Weekly in Pleasanton, California, said that her paper “received a call from the White House asking us to take out part of the story because it reflected poorly on the First Lady.”

The story in question was a soft feature about Marine One titled, “Inside Marine One, President Obama’s helicopter,” that ran in the paper on April 20. Pleasanton staffer Amory Gutierrez “didn’t get to ride in ‘Marine One,’” she wrote in her story, “but I did get the VIP tour and took photographs of the otherwise unseen aircraft.”

She also wrote a sentence that the White House thought made FLOTUS look snooty.

“Basically the reporter said that the First Lady didn’t speak to the pilots but acknowledged them by making eye contact,” Allen wrote in her email.

Barack Obama’s brother accused of
fraud over charity he set up in family name

Daily Mail


The Barack H Obama Foundation, an American charity set-up and run by the U.S. President’s half-brother, has been accused of fraud. Washington watchdog group, The National Legal and Policy Center made the accusation last week in a formal complaint to the IRS and US Post Office. The group has accused the organisation of 'soliciting tax-deductible contributions from the public although it is not tax exempt,' according to the NLPC website.What the organization is said to have done – advertised that it has non-profit status when it allegedly doesn’t – may equate to fraud.

Liberal Cartoonist Can't Get Anyone To Publish His Anti-Obama Pieces
Newsbusters By Noel Sheppard


Ted Rall's cartoons and opinion pieces were all the rage when he was attacking George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and American soldiers.

But now that there's a man in the White House the press absolutely adore, the once syndicated polemicist claims he's having a hard time getting anyone to publish his work:

In the past, editorial rejections had numerous causes: low budgets, lack of space, an editor who simply preferred another creator's work over yours.

Now there' s a new cause for refusal: Too tough on the president.

I've heard that from enough "liberal" websites and print publications to consider it a significant trend.

A sample of recent rejections, each from editors at different left-of-center media outlets:

· "I am familiar with and enjoy your cartoons. However the readers of our site would not be comfortable with your (admittedly on point) criticism of Obama."

· "Don't be such a hater on O and we could use your stuff. Can't you focus more on the GOP?"

· "Our first African-American president deserves a chance to clean up Bush's mess without being attacked by us."

I have many more like that.

What's weird is that these cultish attitudes come from editors and publishers whose politics line up neatly with mine. They oppose the bailouts. They want us out of Afghanistan and Iraq. They disapprove of Obama's new war against Libya. They want Obama to renounce torture and Guantánamo.

Obama is the one they ought to be blackballing. He has been a terrible disappointment to the American left. He has forsaken liberals at every turn. Yet they continue to stand by him. Which means that, in effect, they are not liberals at all. They are militant Democrats. They are Obamabots.

Indeed they are and have been since the moment the former junior senator from Illinois tossed his name into the ring in February 2007.

The behavior of the media has been an absolute disgrace as it pertains to the current White House resident, and calling them Obamabots isn't harsh enough.

Not even close.

Those that can stand it should review NewsBusters' past articles about Rall's work. This is an America-hating radical who recently called for a violent revolution in this country.

His cartoons and articles were all the rage when Bush was in office.


Put a Democrat in the White House that's beloved by the media, and he becomes persona non grata.

Can we even pretend that we have a "free press" any more?

Network That Once Refused to Air ''Support the Troops'' Ad, Currently Running Ads from Group with Terror Links
NewsBusters, by Rusty Weiss


In December of 2007, a conservative organization known as Freedom Watch created an advertisement with a message of support and thanks to America’s troops serving around the world. They were rejected by NBC.

In April of this year, a Muslim organization known as the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) created an advertisement with a message to counter Islamophobia from the ‘conservative right’. They are currently running on NBC Universal media networks.

The alleged difference?

NBC claimed their reason for rejecting the Freedom Watch ad was because “the group insisted that the spot contain the URL address of its Web site.” However, the new ICNA ads clearly contain the groups WhyIslam.org website.

The real difference?

Freedom Watch is an organization that supports the war on terrorism. The ICNA simply supports terrorism.

According to the ICNA website, TV commercials featuring CharactersUnite.com and WhyIslam.org were broadcast for 2 weeks in April 11, 2011. The group teamed up with NBC Universal media group to show the ad 130 times on networks including A&E, AMC, Animal Planet, CNN, Planet Green, Hallmark, History, Headlines Network, MSNBC, National Geographic, Oprah Winfrey Network, Travel Channel, the Weather Channel and USA Network.

The WhyIslam campaign has controversy of its own. The group’s chair, Amir Mertaban, recently referred to Hamas terrorists as freedom fighters who have ‘done a lot of good’ in Palestine, and he refused to denounce the group.

In 2008, WhyIslam ran a series of Muslim subway ads, promoted by a Brooklyn imam whom federal officials had linked to a plot to blow up city landmarks. That Brooklyn imam is Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

And according to the Investigative Project on Terrorism, WhyIslam’s goal is not to combat Islamophobia by promoting tolerance:

Rather than promote an understanding and tolerance of Islam, however, WhyIslam tells its audience that Islam is the only way. "Islam, as a way of life, is the solution to all problems of the human race, and is the only hope for the present as well as the future," the group says in one pamphlet, "Islam Explained," that is regularly handed out from WhyIslam tables and booths across the country.

Ohio restaurant referenced by Obama is closing
The Blade


An Ohio restaurant mentioned last week by President Barack Obama as an indirect beneficiary of the government's Chrysler bailout will go out of business Sunday after a more than 70-year history. Co-owner Richard Lawrence of New Chet's Restaurant in Toledo says business has fallen victim to the economy and the workplace smoking ban approved by Ohio voters in 2006.

BREAK

Obama visited the plant on Friday and told workers that without them, who would eat at Chet's or patronize other local businesses.

It sure looks like the current administration has the press "under its thumb". You would figure media dogs, who love to stir things up, would be all over this.

What company is building the mosque? I'm sure the unions can exert enough "pressure" on them to back out. On the other hand, how many workers would refuse the work based on principle in today's economy.

If I had the choice of building the mosque or another project, I would take the other project.
If the choice were the mosque or putting food on my family's table..................

I would also hope that the NYPD and FDNY would picket the mosk. (I'm tired of typing 'que')

Napolitano: No "Logic" In Profiling Muslim Men Under The Age Of 35
Real Clear Politics


"You're not using good logic there. You've got to use actual intelligence that you received. And, so, you might -- all you've given me is a kind of status. You have not given me a technique for tactic or behavior. Something that would suggest somebody is not Muslim, but Islamic, that has actually moved into the category of violent extremists," Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said at a forum on U.S. security and preventing terrorist attacks.

Tornado-hit family denied FEMA
grant to repair home... because
of 'insufficient damage'

Daily Mail


Displaced families in tornado-ravaged Alabama are outraged after being denied federal aide to rebuild their flattened homes - due to 'insufficient damage'. Jefferson County resident Jonathan Stewart said he laughed in shock after the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) claimed the house his family lost in the deadly April 27 twister was 'not unsafe to live in'. The devastating reality is the house is now a concrete slab surrounded by rubble. Mr Stewart told AL.com a FEMA inspector saw first-hand the Pleasant Grove residence he shared with his wife, Lisa, and their two children was ripped from the ground.

maybe if these unfortunate people were looters, were welfare parasites, thugs who prey on stricken and the sick, were a total drain on society who put nothing back in, were idiots who waited for the gubb'mint to fix everything because they don't have the brains to figure it out themselves,.

if this family met these conditions they'd see the gub'mint freebie and entitlement wagons rolling in any minute now.

But there's one other condition that must be met too....but it escapes me at the moment.

anybody remember what it was that got all those people in N.O. LA all the freebies they possibly want?...some of whom are still receiving it to this very day?

chuck?

sparks?

edge?

Obama's twitter barrage loses him 37,000 followers as
approval rating hits 40 per cent

Daily Mail


President Barack Obama alienated 37,00 twitter followers last night with scores of tweets urging followers to contact their local Congressman over the debt deal.

With his approval rating sitting at an all-time low of 40 per cent amidst the debt crisis, tens of thousands of Americans unfollwed the President to avoid the deulge.

The president’s staff sent a total of 118 tweets asking his followers to write their Republican lawmakers to demand a compromise on debt legislation.

The first tweet read: 'The time for putting party first is over. If you want to see a bipartisan #compromise, let Congress know. Call. Email. Tweet.'

The president's campaign then sent out dozens more, calling out Republicans by state and urging followers to ask for a debt compromise.

But what followed was a mass exodus, as frustrated followers 'unfollowed' Mr Obama - by the thousands.

By the time @BarackObama sent its last tweet on the subject of debt, he was nearly 37,000 followers light.

One Twitter account holder, who posts as @giiiiina wrote: '@BarackObama why are you blowing up twitter?!'

The National Journal reported his loss may have been Republicans’ gain, as GOP senators added about 6,500 new followers Friday

Incivility at the Tea Party
American Spectator, by George Neumayr


In 2009, the Obama administration dropped the phrase "the war on terror," revealing a reluctance on its part to call terrorists "terrorists." The liberal establishment shows no such reluctance when describing Tea Partiers. "[T]hese Tea Party guys are, like, strapped with dynamite," said former Obama administration official Steven Rattner​. New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman calls them the "Hezbollah faction" of the GOP.

Others described them as muggers, carjackers, jihadists, suicide bombers, and hostage takers. The only pause in this stream of invective came when these critics of the Tea Party welcomed Gabby Giffords​ back to the House of Representatives. The inimitable Joe Biden​, who had agreed with these descriptions of the Tea Party earlier in the day, reminded Giffords of his "two craniotomies" and declared them "both members of the cracked head club." Perhaps Biden offered other thoughtful words of comfort to Giffords but those weren't recorded.

No sooner had the pleasantries with Giffords ended than liberals resumed their attacks on the Tea Party. The ferocity of the criticism, were it directed toward any other group, would probably lead liberals to call for a new hate crime category. Just last week, the Eugene Robinsons of the press were blaming the Norway shootings in part on what they see as the intemperate rhetoric of the right about militant Islam.

They saw no irony in savaging the Tea Party, amidst misty-eyed tributes to Giffords, because civility for them is not a moral concept but an ideological one.

WaMu execs won't face criminal charges, Justice Department says
Seattle Times, by Drew DeSilver


The executives who led Washington Mutual to ruin won't face any federal criminal charges for their actions leading up to the thrift's failure nearly three years ago. U.S. Attorney Jenny Durkan's office issued a statement Friday afternoon that it was closing its investigation into WaMu's collapse, the largest bank failure in the nation's history. "Based upon its investigation, the Department of Justice has concluded that the evidence does not meet the exacting standards for criminal charges in connection with the bank's failure," Durkan said in the statement.

Who 'made $10bn on 10/1 bet that
U.S. credit rating would be downgraded'?

Daily Mail, by Mark Duell


A mystery investor or hedge fund reportedly made a bet of almost $1billion at odds of 10/1 last month that the U.S. would lose its AAA credit rating. Now questions are being asked of whether the trader had inside information before placing the $850million bet in the futures market, or if the bet happened at all. There were mounting rumours that investor George Soros, 80, famously known as ‘the man who broke the Bank of England’, could be involved. He made more than $1billion on currency speculation when the British pound left the Exchange Rate Mechanism on Black Wednesday in 1992.

Moody’s Zandi: Next Recession to Feel More Like Depression
Thursday, August 11, 2011 07:30 AM
By: Michelle Smith


Economists may debate whether the United States is headed for another recession, but there is a general consensus about one thing: if it happens, Recession 2.0 would be worse than the last and very difficult to escape.

If the economy double dips, Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, told CNN Money that "it won't feel like a new recession. It would likely feel like a depression."

The problem, according to The New York Times, is that “most major measures of economic health — including jobs, incomes, output and industrial production — are worse today than they were in 2007. And growth has been so weak that almost no ground has been recouped.”

“When the last downturn hit, the credit bubble left Americans with lots of fat to cut, but a new one would force families to cut from the bone,” the Times reported.
