Dems Accused of Exploiting Racial Tensions to Get Votes

Yes, Barack Obama and the Democrats are shamelessly using black Americans once again.

The latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll shows that Obama’s approval rating among blacks is still a generous 82 percent. The black voter turnout often drops for midterm elections, and Democrats are frightened their base may not show up.

So what are Obama and the Democrats doing to turn out the black vote? They’ve gone into their bag of tricks – exploiting racial tensions to scare brainwashed blacks to the polls.

Here’s the proof:

Despite the latest autopsy report – which shows that Michael Brown was not shot with his hands up (as initially reported) and that Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson likely acted in self-defense when he shot the thug – the Democratic Party of Georgia is distributing a flyer that shows two young, black children holding signs that say, “Don’t Shoot.” The flyer reads: “If You Want To Prevent Another Ferguson In Their Future … VOTE.”

6 Times Obama Declared Crisis, Then Did Nothing

/7 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: APLast week, President Obama finally began taking Ebola seriously – so seriously that he cancelled a campaign trip in order to hold an emergency meeting on Ebola. He then appointed a new Ebola czar, Ron Klain, whose stellar qualifications for handling a possible Ebola outbreak include flacking for Janet Reno, Al Gore, and Joe Biden. Finally, Obama held another Ebola meeting after going golfing. Klain skipped the meeting. It was the second such meeting Klain skipped.

Don’t worry. The Obama administration has top men on the job. Top. Men.

This makes the 1,297th crisis the Obama administration has initially ignored, then declared a crisis, then ignored again. Which doesn’t mean that the crises disappear – far from it. They accelerate, grow, metastasize. But since prestidigitator Obama has busily misdirected to the next pseudocrisis – Global warming! Sexual assault on college campuses! Fat kiddies shoving fast food down their drooling pieholes! – the media never return to the scene of the continuing crime.

Here are the top crises declared by the Obama administration – and the unreported-upon aftermath:

IRS Scandal. In the aftermath of the IRS admitting that it had targeted conservative non-profit applicants, President Obama said, “Americans are right to be angry about it, and I am angry about it.” He then said that there was no need for a special prosecutor – Eric Holder would clearly clean up this mess. Today, conservatives are still being targeted, and the Obama administration continues to obstruct any attempt to find the wrongdoers.

White House Covers Up Obama’s Unpaid Bills

/3 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: YouTubeThe White House is doubling down on its lame effort to hide the president’s mildly embarrassing confession that he left unpaid bills in his Chicago home when he took up residence in the White House.

The White House censored the Monday night transcript of Obama’s speech at a Chicago fundraiser to hide his confession of unpaid bills.

The pool reporter at the event, however, included a mention of the statement in her initial Monday night report, and then highlighted the censored passage in a late-night email to reporters.

But the White House pushed back Tuesday morning by issuing an edited transcript that claimed the embarrassing statement was inaudible.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest also staked his credibility on the incredible claim. “I can tell you there was a problem with the recording of the event,” he told reporters at the Oct. 21 daily press conference.

WH Lied About Releasing Illegal Immigrants Charged With Violent Crimes

/16 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: TownHallRewind the tape to February of 2013, when the Obama administration was ramping up its machinations to make the federal government run as poorly as possible in order to terrify the public about the looming (microscopic) sequester cuts — which were, we’ll remind you, President Obama’s own idea. The plan was to make the “consequences” of sequestration as unavoidable and unpalatable as possible — deliberately at the expense of responsible, priorities-oriented governance. The White House’s cynical ploy faltered, as they failed to fool most Americans, and as fact-checkers took them to task for their intentional, endless mendacity. The sequester went into effect, and the earth did not implode. But don’t say they didn’t try. Team Obama was earnestly committed to hurting as many people as possible as a means of turning voters against the concept of fiscal responsibility. One of their most reckless gambits over the course of their calculated ‘parade of horribles’ was the mass release of hundreds of illegal immigrants being detained for various reasons. The federal government couldn’t afford to hold them any longer, we were informed at the time, thanks to those “draconian” budget cuts:

Federal immigration officials have released hundreds of detainees from detention centers around the country in recent days in a highly unusual effort to save money as automatic budget cuts loom in Washington, officials said Tuesday. The government has not dropped the deportation cases against the immigrants, however. The detainees have been freed on supervised release while their cases continue in court, officials said. But the decision angered many Republicans, including Representative Robert W. Goodlatte of Virginia, who said the releases were a political gambit by the Obama administration that undermined the continuing negotiations over comprehensive immigration reform and jeopardized public safety…A spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, an arm of the Department of Homeland Security, said the detainees selected for release were “noncriminals and other low-risk offenders who do not have serious criminal histories.” Officials said the releases, which began last week and continued on Tuesday, were a response to the possibility of automatic governmentwide budget cuts, known as sequestration, which are scheduled to take effect on Friday.

We’re not endangering public safety, the administration insisted. We’re only releasing non-violent illegal immigrant detainees. And we’re doing it because of these tiny budget cuts, Congress. So take the hint, and cancel the cuts. (Lord knows there wasn’t any federal fat to trim that didn’t involve flinging open jail doors). Well, USA Today has been digging into this episode and has gathered proof that the administration lied. Surprise…

Jews Under Siege in Jerusalem Amid Obama Promise

Photo Credit: WNDDid behind-the-scenes White House support for the Palestinian position on eastern Jerusalem help embolden a violent Palestinian campaign against Israeli civilians in those areas?

The campaign of rock-throwing and other acts of violence and intimidation has been targeting Jews in eastern sections of Jerusalem – areas the Palestinians claim as a future capital. The Palestinian claim has been bolstered by Obama administration behind-the-scenes support, as WND reported earlier this month.

A terrorist yesterday used a vehicle to plow through a crowd of Israelis at an eastern Jerusalem light rail station, killing a 3-month-old baby and injuring seven other people.

The terrorist has been identified as Abdel Rahman Al-Shaludi, a Palestinian resident of the eastern Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan.

Netanyahu blames Palestinian president

While security officials are investigating whether he was acting alone, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu squarely blamed Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas for supporting a culture of terrorism.

Obama: Let's Face It, These Vulnerable Democrats Support Me and My Agenda

/5 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: TownHallIn which the President of the United States serves up another damaging soundbyte on a platter for national Republicans. Several weeks ago, Barack Obama informed the nation that although he may not be on the ballot this fall, his policies most certainly are, in the persons of Democratic candidates. That remark birthed a flurry of GOP ads warning (accurately) that a vote for Democrats is an endorsement of an unpopular president. With two weeks remaining until election day, Obama expounded further on his political standing vis-a-vis vulnerable Democrats in an interview with Al Sharpton:

“The bottom line is, though, these are all folks who vote with me. They have supported my agenda in Congress, and they are on the right side [of issues]…these are folks who are strong allies and supporters of me.”

Obama Makes Rare Campaign Trail Appearance, People Leave Early

/2 Comments/in , /by

President Barack Obama made a rare appearance on the campaign trail on Sunday with a rally to support the Democratic candidate for governor in Maryland, but early departures of crowd members while he spoke underscored his continuing unpopularity.

With approval levels hovering around record lows, Obama has spent most of his campaign-related efforts this year raising money for struggling Democrats, who risk losing control of the U.S. Senate in the Nov. 4 midterm election.

Most candidates from his party have been wary of appearing with him during their election races because of his sagging popularity.

Not so Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown of Maryland, who is running for governor, and Governor Pat Quinn of Illinois, who is running for re-election. Obama plans to appear at an event for Quinn later in the evening.

Obama: Republicans 'Just Have Bad Ideas'

/5 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: APMarching onto the campaign trail for the first time this year, President Barack Obama cast Democrats’ success in this year’s midterm elections as a chance to further the policies he’s fought for in the White House. “Don’t give up now,” he said. “Not after we’ve made this much progress.”

Returning to the accepting embrace of his home state of Illinois, Obama told voters in Chicago that Republicans mean well, but “just have bad ideas.” He accused the GOP of recycling those ideas over and over, urging voters to take their future into their own hands by showing up Nov. 4 — and electing Democrats.

“The power to move our society, our government, it really is in your hands,” Obama said during a rally for Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn that doubled as a homecoming for the president. “You’re the reason that I had the audacity to actually run for president of the United States.”

Echoing many of the same themes as his own 2008 and 2012 campaigns, Obama said Democrats were fighting to give women equal pay, give children a good education and give all Americans access to decent health care. He contrasted that with the policies of Republicans, whom he claimed were living in the 1950s and belong “in a ‘Mad Men’ episode.”

Obama’s rallies Sunday in Chicago and Maryland marked his first major foray into the 2014 midterm elections. Obama was supposed to rally last week in Connecticut for Gov. Dannel Malloy, but postponed that visit to focus on Ebola.

Obama’s ‘Blizzard of Lies’

/7 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: Chip Somodevilla / Getty In 1996, the late, great New York Times columnist William Safire published a column, “Blizzard of lies,” in which he laid out a series of falsehoods by Hillary Rodham Clinton and declared “Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady — a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation — is a congenital liar.”

Today, Americans of all political stripes are coming to a similar, sad realization about our president. A recent Fox News poll asked Americans “How often does Barack Obama lie to the country on important matters?” Thirty-seven percent said “most of the time,” 24 percent said “some of the time,” and 20 percent said “only now and then.” Just 15% said “never.”

Think about that: 81 percent of Americans believe that Obama lies to them at least “now and then” on “important matters.”

That is simply stunning.

These Americans are right. The latest evidence came when The Post revealed that on Friday, April 20, 2012, Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan came to White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler with a specific, credible allegation of misconduct by a member of the White House advance team in Cartegena, Colombia.

Obama’s Credit Card Denied at Restaurant on New York City Trip

/8 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: White House President Obama came perilously close to having to wash some dishes on his recent trip to New York.

Mr. Obama revealed Friday that his credit card was rejected when he went to pay for his meal at a New York restaurant during the U.N. General Assembly gathering last month.

“Turns out I guess I don’t use it enough,” so the payment wouldn’t go through, Mr. Obama explained.

“Apparently they thought there was some fraud going on,” Mr. Obama joked at a meeting Friday with employees of the Consumer Financial Protection Board, adding that “even I am affected” by the difficulties of dealing with the American financial system. The remarks were picked up by the C-SPAN feed of the event.
