Never Admit Responsibility - The Democratic Party Way

It is a pity that the Democratic Party has been tagged with this but we cannot avoid the truth. We cause big problems and blame everyone else but ourselves. Shameful. The President leds the way.

FACT CHECK: Obama disowns deficit he helped shape
Apr 29, By CALVIN WOODWARD


WASHINGTON (AP) - "That wasn't me," President Barack Obama said on his 100th day in office, disclaiming responsibility for the huge budget deficit waiting for him on Day One.
It actually was him - and the other Democrats controlling Congress the previous two years - who shaped a budget so out of balance.
And as a presidential candidate and president-elect, he backed the twilight Bush-era stimulus plan that made the deficit deeper, all before he took over and promoted spending plans that have made it much deeper still.

Ahead of the Teleprompter

Obama speaks well with a telepromtter but babbles without. This video show him telling the prompter to speed up.

An Air Force One lookalike, the backup plane for the one regularly used by the president, flew low over parts of New York and New Jersey on Monday morning, accompanied by two F-16 fighters, so Air Force photographers could take pictures high above the New York harbor.

Earth Day Fiasco

As always - piss-poor leadership. Preach to the people not to do something but it is OK for you to do it. That is the democratic party way.

Obama Earth Day Flights Burned More Than 9,000 Gallons Of Fuel
by Mark Knoller April 22, 2009 5:09 PM

It happens every time a president leaves town to make an Earth Day speech. Reporters scramble to point out how much fuel was expended so the President could talk about conserving energy and using alternative fuels.

Biden less popular than Cheney

Duh. Biden is a bum and has been since he stole Kinnick's speech back in the 80s.

Another Broken Promise..... To Black Farmers

Aren't people so stupid? They latch on to candidate Obama's promise and either two things happen. He doesn't plan on keeping it or he is just stupid on the issue. You judge.

PROMISES, PROMISES: Obama and black farmers
By BEN EVANS

WASHINGTON (AP) — As a senator, Barack Obama led the charge last year to pass a bill allowing black farmers to seek new discrimination claims against the Agriculture Department. Now he is president, and his administration so far is acting like it wants the potentially budget-busting lawsuits to go away.
The change isn't sitting well with black farmers who thought they'd get a friendlier reception from Obama after years of resistance from President George W. Bush.
"You can't blame it on the Bush administration anymore," said John Boyd, head of the National Black Farmers Association, which has organized the lawsuits. "I can't figure out for the life of me why the president wouldn't want to implement a bill that he fought for as a U.S. senator." See the above question for the answer.

France Thinks Obama is Weak?

Apparently they feel what the rest of us have known for a long time. A blow-hard that is all air and no substance. A rockstar image with no leadership or vision.

World Agenda: Nicolas Sarkozy puts Barack Obama in the doghouse
Why the master of America's new First Mutt is no longer in good odour with President Sarkozy
Charles Bremner

France has been cooing along with everyone else over the arrival of Bo Obama at the White House, but the master of America's new First Dog is no longer in good odour with President Sarkozy.
Mr Sarkozy is pouring cold water on President Obama's efforts to recast American leadership on the world stage, depicting them as unoriginal, unsubstantial and overrated. Behind leaks and briefings from the Elysée Palace lies Mr Sarkozy's irritation at the rock-star welcome that Europe gave Mr Obama on his Europan tour earlier this month.
The American President's call "to free the world of the menace of a nuclear nightmare" was hot air, Mr Sarkozy's diplomatic staff told him in a report. "It was rhetoric – not a speech on American security policy but an export model aimed at improving the image of the United States," they said. Most of Mr Obama's proposals had already been made by the Bush administration and Washington was dragging its feet on disarmament and treaties against nuclear proliferation, the leaked report said.

Isn't That So Democrat?

Obama promised a rescue dog from a shelter. Now he has a dog that the first owner rejected. It has never been to a shelter, etc. We are splitting hairs here. He BROKE his promise. But, it is so democratic party to say one thing and do another. Another typical political lie.

PROMISES, PROMISES: Is Obama dog a rescue or not?
Apr 13 04:23 PM US/EasternBy SHARON THEIMERAssociated Press Writer


WASHINGTON (AP) - Is Bo a rescued dog or not? Did President Obama keep or break a campaign promise in picking the purebred as the family's new pet?
The twists and turns of the Portuguese water dog's route to the White House make for the kind of intrigue that political junkies and the highly opinionated dog world delight in.
Bo arrives officially on Tuesday—though the administration released a photo on Monday of the new pet romping with the president at the White House.

Barack Obama and his wife Michelle said during the presidential campaign that they had promised their two girls a dog after the election.
The Obamas repeatedly said they wanted it to be a rescued dog such as one from a shelter. Their search was complicated by daughter Malia's allergies, which would rule out many of the "mutts" the president has said he would prefer.
Enter Bo, a 6-month-old puppy given up by his first owner and matched with the Obamas through his breeders. Because he was given up by his first owner as a poor fit and is now with his second owners, the Obamas, but never spent time in a shelter or with a rescue group, Bo is a "quasi-rescue dog," says Wayne Pacelle, chief executive of The Humane Society of the United States.
