One of the 20 finalists in health care video contest run by Barack Obama’s campaign arm features a mural of an America flag splattered with health care graffiti until it’s covered completely by black paint.

According to the Organizing for American Web site, the 20 finalists in the “Health Reform Video Challenge” were chosen by a panel of “qualified” Democratic National Committee “employee judges.”

Translation: America Haters

Now that Obama is in office, desecrating the American flag is once again nouveau.

This time, it’s $92,500 to “study” the use of biogas, hydropower and solar power. The city paid them in June for $95,000 so now we’ve spent close to $200K just to get opinions.

Who the hell are they kidding? This isn’t California folks, and the city can only lay claim to approximately 36,000 customers, if they have a claim at all. We currently receive $1.7 million per year from I&M, renegotiate the friggin lease and get it over with.

Henry and his minions are forgetting that I&M employs 352 employees with an annual payroll of $27 million. They pay $2.5 million in annual property taxes and donate $500,000 a year to local nonprofit groups. Last year they spent $12 million in the aftermath of the ice storm, bringing in over 1500 workers to restore power.

Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.

“Global warming creates volatility. I feel it when I’m flying. The storms are more volatile. We are paying the price in more hurricanes and tornadoes.”

Flying? Oh save me. That’s just patently stupid. For starters, Michigan had its coldest July recorded this year EVER. And on top of that..

From the Globe and Mail

Nationwide, there were 826 tornadoes this year through June 30, compared with an average of 934 for the same period during the previous three years, according to the National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman, Okla. Most twisters strike in Tornado Alley, which generally extends from Texas and Oklahoma to Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota.

During a remarkable 17-day lull from mid-May through early June, there were no tornado watches issued anywhere in the United States. And that is typically the height of the season in Tornado Alley.

And on the hurricane front from earlier this week:

Two quiet months during the hurricane season have prompted the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to downgrade its forecast for 2009. Although weather observers say it only takes one major storm to wreak immeasurable damage, there has yet to be a named storm this year. NOAA’s updated prediction calls for up to 11 named storms.

Who’s voting these idiots into office?

Reason #17 Why I am Glad I Voted for Obama

When he says something that, let’s face it, didn’t exactly contribute to positive national discourse (and who among us hasn’t said something that they would just as soon retract), he talks to the guy he said it about and then tells the nation what he did and why he thinks his choice of words was poor.

They guy stuck his foot in his mouth and took this right out of the Billy Clinton political playbook. The only reason he did the aforementioned is the press had a field day with him. He called the cops stupid. Now what he’s saying is this, (Fluhr translation):

“I’m sorry that some of you people were too stupid to understand what I stupidly said about the Cambridge police acting ‘stupidly.”

Now he’s trying to turn it into a media event by inviting Gates and and Sergeant Crowley to the White House while stating “I continue to believe that there was an overreaction in pulling professor Gates out of his home and to the station.” The guy can talk out of both sides of his mouth, and his innocent ignorant lambs sheeple believe every word, as if he’s the prince of peace.

Kiss my ass, that’s not an apology.

Stupid is as stupid does! Where’s Jesse?

Dear Congressman Ellsworth,

I’m a resident of the state of Indiana would like to know your your position regarding President Obama’s recent statement where he claimed the Cambridge, MA police department
“Acted Stupidly.”

As a holder of a master’s degree in criminology from Indiana State University, and former Vanderburgh County Sheriff, your opinion would be important to me.

Obama’s states the U.S. government will be more qualified to make these decisions “for you.” Not your doctor, the government. Just give the kid a damn pill and send him home. We don’t really care that he has strep throat, (streptococcal pharyngitis), that may lead to scarlet fever, or septic shock and multi-organ failure. Let’s wait and see what happens after they take this little red or blue pill.

The fact is, while not considered an emergency procedure, tonsillectomies are a proven method of curing recurring strep throat. According to the Mayo Clinic, “If a child has recurring strep throat — six or more positive strep cultures in one year — tonsillectomy may be considered.”

A 2006 Mayo Clinic study looked at the benefit of tonsillectomy in 290 children with recurring strep throat. Researchers reported that children who still had their tonsils were more than three times as likely to develop subsequent episodes of strep throat as were children who’d had their tonsils removed.

I know what I’m talking about. I got strep several time a year as a young child, and it was a painful experience. I sure as hell would not want the government deciding if I needed the operation. And can you imagine the months it would take to get a decision?

Obama:

“Right now, doctors a lot of times are forced to make decisions based on the fee payment schedule that’s out there. … The doctor may look at the reimbursement system and say to himself, ‘You know what? I make a lot more money if I take this kid’s tonsils out,’” Obama told a prime-time news conference. The president added: “Now, that may be the right thing to do, but I’d rather have that doctor making those decisions just based on whether you really need your kid’s tonsils out or whether it might make more sense just to change; maybe they have allergies. Maybe they have something else that would make a difference.”

This guy talks out his rear-end and thankfully, the American public is starting to recognize that.

Strep throat is caused by group A streptococcal bacteria, Streptococcus pyogenes. The organisms are transmitted from one infected person to another. In the laboratory, these bacteria are grown on blood agar where they cause a clear halo around the colonies due to the damage to the red blood cells.

Sorry Obama, strep is the major reason for performing a tonsillectomy, and it doesn’t have anything to do with allergies.

He was an AWOL as an Illinois Senator with NO experience, and now he’s acting like the surgeon general.

What a joke.

Health care quandary

Q. The nation’s best course of action on the Obama health care plan is:

A. Take advantage of the momentum and President Obama’s political good will – still riding high from the election – and adopt the plan as soon as possible.

B. Kill the Obama plan. It is too much, too soon and goes too far toward socialized medicine.

C. Let the political system take its course. Already, some moderate Democrats are seeking modifications. Even though Democrats control the presidency and both houses of Congress, negotiations and compromise will lead to an acceptable – if imperfect – plan.

D. How should I know? I am too busy trying to make ends meet and keep my family healthy to study the nuances of a plan I have no control over.

Most Americans, we suspect, would honestly answer “D.” The enormity of the Obama plan is almost overwhelming for an average citizen.

It’s called the internet, stupid. The JG fails to provide any real information because the majority of the liberal mainstream media refuse to publish it.

[...]

But the simple reality is that Obama has a specific plan with a method of financing, while the alternative is … well, there is no other single, specific plan to consider. And with the health care system’s inefficiencies and high costs that still leave tens of millions of uninsured Americans – the two sides even fight over how many – something must be done.

[...]

So “Obamacare” – the term conservative critics use to deride the president’s plan – is the only game in town, and that is the fault of the Republican opposition, which has utterly failed to address an issue important to the vast majority of the nation.

Critics have focused much of their message on trying to slow down the process.

Slow down the process? Obama took 6 months to pick out a dog, and he’s trying to cram his ridiculous program down our throats in two week? Most legislators haven’t even had time to read the 1,000+ page proposal.

More importantly, candidate Obama had clear proposals on health care, an issue that was one of the few he and Hillary Rodham Clinton debated in intricate detail during the primaries. Americans knew Obama’s health care agenda when they elected him – by a convincing margin. His plan largely coincides with his campaign platform.

Big effn deal. Just because he campaigned on healthcare reform, doesn’t mean it’s the right reform package. The JG has proven that they’re either to lazy, too stupid, or just so in the sack over Obama that all they can offer is a partisan opinion without offering anything substantive to back it up. Let’s take a look at some of the facts surrounding Obama’s proposed healthcare overhaul, courtesy of Little Green Footballs.

There you have it folks. Biased news reporting sans any facts from the bleeding hearts at the JG. At least now you have some facts.

“Tonight, President Obama is taking to the airwaves to try to convince us it’s more important to get his health care legislation done quickly than to get done it right. The fact of the matter is there is not enough time in the next week to ensure that this 1,000 page bill does not increase the cost of healthcare, does not increase taxes on businesses or individuals, does not decrease our quality of care, and does not limit the accessibility or availability of private insurance.”

“I fail to understand how the President, as smart as he is, can convince himself that it’s appropriate to attempt to reform this huge part of our economy inside an arbitrary and dangerously condensed time frame. His original goal was three weeks; it’s not unusual for a family to take longer than that to purchase a house. Yet, despite calls from members of his own party to slow the pace, he continues to push a reckless timetable for his risky health care experiment.”
