As the bodies in Staten Island Homes lay rotting amid the rubble waiting to be discovered, and FEMA has yet to step foot on the Island, the *more important* work, the ideological priority work, pumping out tunnels continues….  ain’t this typical Governmental priority?  “yeah, we’ll get around to the dead people sooner or later, but first we need to clear the way to the Starbucks”…..   I digress….    This, all of this, is about a concious “looking away”…   Doesn’t matter if it’s pumping out a Tunnel and ignoring the dead bodies in the houses – or – Talking about an election and ignoring the dead bodies from Benghazi…..  FUBAR ! 

Jake Tapper, trapped inside the most brutally, and obviously, and insufferably, biased of all faux journalistic enterprises, ABC, squeaks out a politically correct and filtered query of sorts.   Pushing the envelope just about as far as the ABC ‘betters’ will allow him to go:

(Jake Tapper)  As he left his Marine One helicopter Wednesday evening and walked to the residence of the White House, President Obama did not respond to a question shouted out by ABC News’s Mary Bruce about when he would begin to provide answers to the numerous questions building up about what exactly what went wrong in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11, 2012.

The president smiled and continued walking. (more…)

THE ANGER GAMES

WISCONSIN – Speaking in Green Bay, Wisconsin this afternoon, President Obama reminded voters that if Mitt Romney was president, he would “rubberstamp the Tea Party’s agenda.” […]

“Ruling out compromise by pledging to rubberstamp the Tea Party’s agenda as President -– that’s definitely not change,” Obama said. “In fact, that’s exactly the attitude in Washington that needs to go.”  (more)

The progs are proclaiming the gift of Dear Leader responding appropriately to the continuing disaster of Hurricane/Superstorm Sandy.   Indeed, yes, it appears that President Obama has actually engaged himself in a Regional Weather Disaster and a Regional emergency response.

Yeah, he’s doing his job.   But, *ahem* I hate to be all captain obvious but that is HIS job.  The number one job of ANY President is the safety and security of it’s citizenry.   So, yeah, he deserves the recognition that he is actually doing his job.

Sad, however, that we have lowered the bar of expectation to such a level we now congratulate the leadership of our nation for doing ‘what they are expected to do’,  No?  Have “we” lowered the expectation, or did an inept Presidency lower the expectation? (more…)

For any other President, with any other media, at any other time in our nation, this story alone would lead to impeachment…..   Congressional Oversight Committee has specific fact-based proof that President Obama collaborated with the Dept. Of Energy to steer green energy/stimulus funding money into Nevada to support Harry Reid’s 2010 election.   They openly admit as such.

WASHINGTON – President Obama claims that political considerations did not influence the Energy Department’s green energy loan program, but newly-released internal emails show that his administration subsidized Nevada companies in order to help Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., win his 2010 reelection campaign.

“And these are decisions, by the way, that are made by the Department of Energy, they have nothing to do with politics,” Obama said last week when asked about the green companies that have gone bankrupt despite receiving taxpayer support. (more…)

Mayor Slurpee McDonut does not want the visible admission that his city is looting central.    (Daily Mail)   Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz has begged for the National Guard to be called in and put a halt to an outbreak of looting after the superstorm.

SMASH AND GRAB: A woman appears to be making off with “kicks” at Mello Magic Sneakers on Rockaway Beach Boulevard yesterday.  (New York Post)

‘New York Governor Cuomo also acted quickly by activating the National Guard prior to the storm, and I urge him to allocate as many troops as possible to Brooklyn—troops from New York or any other states that can spare them,’ Mr Markowitz said in a statement.’ (more…)

WEST PALM BITCH – A group of sign-waving campaign ralliers comprised of both Democrat and Republican supporters outside an Aventura, Florida polling location witnessed Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz get involved in a heated altercation with an Aventura policeman after she apparently took issue with his request to not engage in campaign activities in the street which would hold up oncoming traffic.

She listened to the police officer’s respectful and reasonable request, but Wasserman Schultz continued to argue with the police officer, according to several people who witnessed the incident. (more…)

… but if you happen to be the Personal Representative of The United States President; and you happen to be under attack by terrorists in Libya for over 7 hours, well then – Obama:  “deal with it, you’re on your own”……

Speaking at a photo opportunity at the American Red Cross on Tuesday, President Obama stated that in America, “we leave nobody behind.” This remark is seen as clumsy and perhaps insensitive considering the revelations that requests to assist two Navy SEALs trapped on the roof of the American consulate in Benghazi were denied, thus abandoning the heroic Americans to die at the hands of Al Qaeda.

What…, no “bumps in the ‘Sandy‘ road”?….   You mean,  No, “non optimal” ‘Sandy‘ deaths? (more…)

Progs and the media prog story sellers are looking for any opportunity to disparage Mitt Romney….  Hence they attack Romney for messaging and raising support for Sandy victims.   Progs are hateful jerks.

(WaPo) Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern on Tuesday accused Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney of politicizing Hurricane Sandy with a Dayton event that was billed as storm relief but also had characteristics of a campaign rally.

Romney spoke only briefly at the event, to encourage donations to storm victims, and volunteers collected canned goods to send to those suffering in New Jersey. But Romney’s biographical video, routinely played at campaign rallies, was used to introduce the event, as was his routine rally music.

“I think Gov. Romney ought to be focused on things he could do and say on behalf of the victims, rather than going to Dayton Ohio — the most important swing state in the country — and taking advantage of a tragedy,” Redfern said. (more…)

Seriously?   That’s the plan, or, well, the latest version, of, um, well, the newest plan?  A “Secretary of Business”.

THE HILL – President Obama says he would like to establish a “secretary of Business” if he wins a second term.   In an interview with MSNBC, the president said he wants to consolidate a number of business and trade-related agencies, creating a “one-stop shop” for oversight.  (more)

Yeah, right.   Because, well, the Energy Dept has done such a great job of making us “energy independent”; and the Education Department has done such a great job of raising education standards and controlling costs;   and the “Commerce Department” has done such a great job of eliminating market barriers and trade restrictions;  and the “Regulatory Czar” (Cass Sunstein) has done such a great job of eliminating burdensome regulatory restrictions and red-tape.

[See:  squiggley lightbulbs that don’t light, washing machines that don’t wash, electric cars that catch fire, and perhaps worst of all  toilets that don’t flush, etc]

Really, that’s what you’ve got.   Another plan for MORE and BIGGER government.? (more…)

Oh the wind is lashing lustily
And the trees are thrashing thrustily
And the leaves are rustling gustily
So it’s rather safe to say…
That it seems it may turn out to be
It feels that it will undoubtedly
It looks like a rather blustery day, today
It sounds that it may turn out to be
Feels that it will undoubtedly
Looks like a rather blustery day today

[Re-Elect Obama] Last night, the Obama campaign was sending email requests into Annapolis, Maryland, for help with phone-banking.   The time? 5:30 pm, right when Sandy is supposed to be at its worst there. (more…)
