BOTUS Does a Rose Mary Woods Stretch on Sestak Job-gate

Who alive and more or less sentient at the time can forget the hilarious implausibility of Ms. Woods demonstration on how she accidentally erased 18.5 minutes from a White House tape.

Rose Mary Woods s t r e t c h e s to demonstrate how she "inadvertently"
caused an 18.5 minute gap on a White House tape

Well, Ms. Woods' laughable explanatory demonstration has finally been outdone by Mr. Transparency himself.

The Wall Street Journal has a great piece up questioning the plausibility of Robert Bauer's Memo released by the White House Office of Cover-Ups (f/k/a Office of White House Counsel): Rahm to Bill to Joe

WHAT THE F*CK IS HAPPENING TO MY COUNTRY?!?!? We keep importing this 7th century bullshit, no wonder they see us as weak.

Click here to see why. Its genuinely shameful that any doctor, never mind the leading association of PEDIATRICIANS in the United States, would participate in such an outrageous cave on such a barbaric ritual.

Barack Obama - Man of the Elites; Let the Rabble Eat Cake

So much for B'Oz's "Man of the People" image. After this fancy spread was laid out for the Uber Rich Elite of Californiabroke he's looking ever more aloof and disconnected from reality on the ground in America where 10% unemployment means there are millions of real people who CAN'T PUT FOOD ON THEIR TABLES let alone pay $17.6K/Person to help Barbara Boxer get re-elected so she can help Barry SCREW them over for another 6 years. The Audacity of Hope indeed.

It all brings to mind a certain French queen who reportedly said "Let them eat cake" as the peasants starved. Pop History Quiz: How did she die BTW?

What to Eat on a $17,600 Date With the President

President Obama hosts a star studded dinner at the Getty mansion with a menu to match

So what does $92,000 an hour buy you in food? If you're President Barack Obama it gets you a plate full of hors d'oeuvres, a salad and ribs.

Mr. Obama's 19-hour whirlwind Bay Area fundraising trip filled Sen. Barbara Boxer's wallet with $1.75 million and he used a $17,600 a person dinner at the Getty Mansion in San Francisco to bring in the big bucks.

The president's 80 dinner guests were treated to an elaborate meal prepared by chef Jennifer Johnson, according to SF Gate, who got the scoop on the menu.

Diners were treated to quail egg with caviar and salmon ceviche with jicama and avocado on a tortilla chip as their starting hors d'oeuvres. Next they were served a spring onion-asparagus tartlet with Meyer lemon vinaigrette-dressed frisee salad.

The main course was braised Kobe beef short ribs with potato puree and a salsa verde-topped spring vegetable ragout. And the evening was topped off with buckwheat crepes with roasted cherries and almond ice cream.

Of course guests were given the opportunity to smile and take a picture with their favorite fundraising president. Worth the $17,600 price tag? You tell us.

Rasmussen Reports: B'Oz Hits All New Low of -22 Approval Index - Graveyard Spiral?

Barack Obama's dream of creating a permanent Obamaphate may well be in what pilots call a graveyard spiral.

BOTUS' mounting problems with his formerly fawning press lapdogs on his administration's dilatory and incompetent handling of the BP Gulf spill and his refusal to hold any Pressers; a very serious allegation by Democrat PA Senate Candidate Joe Sestak that an as yet unidentified person in the White House (widely speculated to be Rahm Emanuel) offered him a job in exchange for dropping out of the primary race against Arlen Specter which if true, and Obama knew of the offer, would almost certainly constitute an impeachable offense; and finally, reports of his apparent demeanor and conduct in a business luncheon meeting with Congressional Republicans all seem to be coming to a head. Today, Rasmussen reports that the public's enthrallment appears to have been broken.

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll

Wednesday, May 26, 2010

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 23% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-five percent (45%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -22. That’s the lowest Approval Index rating yet measured for this president (see trends).

Enthusiasm for the president among Democrats, which bounced following passage of the health care law, has faded again. Just 48% of those in the president’s party now Strongly Approve of Obama’s performance. That’s down from 65% earlier.

...

Overall, 43% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president's performance. Fifty-five percent (56%) disapprove.

Senate Democrats Pass Bill Allowing Govt to Collect Addresses, ATM Records of Bank Customers

(CNSNews.com)

Senate Democrats united to pass a financial regulatory bill that allows the government to collect data on any person operating in financial markets at any level, including the collection of personal transaction records from local banks that list customers’ addresses and ATM receipts.

The Senate voted 59-39 on Thursday to pass the bill, the chief aim of which is to more-heavily regulate the financial industry. The bill now goes to a conference committee in the House of Representatives, where differences between the House and Senate versions will be ironed out.

The bill, if it becomes law, would create the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection and empower it to “gather information and activities of persons operating in consumer financial markets,” including the names and addresses of account holders, ATM and other transaction records, and the amount of money kept in each customer’s account.

The new bureaucracy is then allowed to “use the data on branches and [individual and personal] deposit accounts … for any purpose” and may keep all records on file for at least three years and these can be made publicly available upon request.

Cross Post from For What its Worth - Two Barneys in One!

The post that follows is my entirely shameless (but credited) theft of content from my blogging friend Christopher Fountain who writes "For What its Worth"

We’re in the best of hands

From Best of the Web, this:

Two Barneys in One!

• “We have, I think, an excessive degree of concern right now about homeownership and its role in the economy. Obviously, speculation is never a good thing. But those who argue that housing prices are now at the point of a bubble seem to me to be missing a very important point. Unlike previous examples we have had, where substantial excessive inflation of prices later caused some problems, we are talking here about an entity–homeownership, homes–where there is not the degree of leverage that we’ve seen elsewhere. This is not the dot-com situation. We had problems with people having invested in business plans for which there was no reality, people building fiberoptic cable for which there was no need. Homes that are occupied may see an ebb and flow in the price at a certain percentage level, but you’re not going to see the collapse that you see when people talk about a bubble. And so those of us on our committee in particular will continue to push for homeownership.“–Rep. Barney Frank,June 27, 2005
  
  
  
• “One of my biggest differences with the Bush administration, and even with the Clinton administration, was that they overdid that. I have always been critical of this effort to equate a decent home with homeownership. I think we should have been doing more to provide rental housing. My efforts have been to try and get affordable rental housing. I was very much in disagreement with this push into home ownership, and I think the federal government should not be artificially doing that.”–Rep. Barney Frank, “Power Lunch,” CNBC, May 21, 2010
