Obama's "Investments"

  Obama invested another $5 billion of our money to achieve his goal of having 1 million electric cars on U.S. roads by 2015. It makes me feel so good, warm and fuzzy all over to think that he cares so much about our environment. The first requirement of a good leader is that he shows us that he cares.

        Do you think he might know where we get the electricity to run the cars?   From burning coal!  From burning petroleum! From nuclear power plants!  I expect he does, but his friends like Al Gore have invested their fortunes in alternative energy industry, so he’s obliged to pay them off by throwing our tax dollars at them, indenturing our grandchildren to his grand legacy.

       He destroys the jobs of the coal miners, puts the kibosh on pipe lines and oil drilling, adds 1.5 trillion in new debt every year of his presidency, and we, we exult him, “our Lord and Savior, Obama.” We are such idiots to fall for such schmaltzy, emotionally driven policy.

           But, you’ve gotta praise him for stopping the military from waterboarding terrorists.  That was so inhumane.  It’s so much more humane to kill them with drones, and if a few non-militants of the population happen to be taken out as well, well, you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet.

          He’s ratcheting up the attacks in Pakistan, six already this year.  I wonder.  What is the psychological impact of the terrifying American death machines flying into your neighborhood and taking out your neighbors? Would the general population be more easily co-opted into anti-Western extremist groups? Do you think the Nobel committee might regret their hasty decision to give him the Peace Prize so early into his presidency?  Nope.  Norwegians have mush for brains, too.

Gerrymandering Gone Giddy

Had President Obama really been interested in immigration reform, he would have pushed it through during the first two years of his administration when he had control of both houses.  The Democratic Party owes way too much to the unions to threaten their financial support.  They cannot afford real immigration reform.    

Had President Obama really wanted to do something about gun control, he would have moved decisively right after the Newtown massacre when 60 per cent of the American public was enraged and sympathetic.  He didn’t do it because it would be politically imprudent, threatening Democratic control of the senate.
So why is he wasting hot air on the issues now?  Perhaps there was something going on behind the scenes that he preferred we not notice.  On the Thursday before Easter weekend, he signed an executive order establishing a commission to crack down on electoral problems across the country. The commission would, among other things, establish the number of polling places, manage the training a recruitment of poll workers, the voter machine technology, and the distribution of provisional and absentee ballots.
This executive order is a preposterous violation of the decentralized electoral process established by the constitution.  The framers did not want to give the central government the power to manipulate elections to insure they stay in power.  
What is telling is that the president did not appoint anyone to the commission who had actual experience in the electoral process.  He appointed two campaign finance lawyers. What is even more telling is that this administration has shown no interest in preventing or prosecuting voter fraud.  Think Black Panther intimidation, no problem,  Melouise Richardson who bragged about voting six times and insisted that it was her duty, not problem.   This administration actually sued states for trying to remove non-citizens from the voter rolls and states who passed voter identification laws.  It’s interesting to note that not one state with voter identification laws went for President Obama. 
The real irony of the situation is that the party of the president, the party famous for systematic voter fraud, is crying wolf.  No one denies that the JFK election was rife with fraud in both Illinois and Texas.  LBJ’s shenanigans are famous. Dead people voting has for years insured Chicago’s Democratic majorities.  Anomalies in the last election are glaring, precincts voting unanimously for President Obama, precincts where more people voted than were registered, a 116 per cent voter turnout rate when most precincts are lucky to get 32.
Election gerrymandering is a serious threat to our freedoms, and this is gerrymandering gone giddy.  Can it be stopped?
