The Chamber of Commerce is only the latest target of the Chicago Gang in the White House.
Wall Street Journal ^ | October 22, 2009 | KIMBERLEY A. STRASSE

When Barack Obama promised to deliver "a new kind of politics" to Washington, most folk didn't picture Rahm Emanuel with a baseball bat...What is a little novel is the public and bare-knuckle way in which the Obama team is waging these campaigns...In recent weeks the Windy City gang added a new name to their list of societal offenders: the Chamber of Commerce. For the cheek of disagreeing with Democrats on climate and financial regulation, it was reported the Oval Office will neuter the business lobby. Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett warned CEOs they'd be wise to seek better protection.

That was after the president accused the business lobby of false advertising. And that recent black eye for the Chamber (when several companies, all with Democratic ties, quit)—think that happened on its own? ("Somebody messes with me, I'm gonna mess with him! Somebody steals from me, I'm gonna say you stole. Not talk to him for spitting on the sidewalk. Understand!?")

The Chamber can at least take comfort in crowds. Who isn't on the business end of the White House's sawed-off shotgun? First up were Chrysler bondholders who—upon balking at a deal that rewarded only unions—were privately threatened and publicly excoriated by the president.

Next, every pharmaceutical, hospital and insurance executive in the nation...And that was their reward for cooperating. When Humana warned customers about cuts to Medicare under "reform," the White House didn't bother to complain. They went straight for the gag order. When the insurance industry criticized the Baucus health bill, the response was this week's bill to strip them of their federal antitrust immunity. ("I want you to find this nancy-boy . . . I want him dead! I want his family dead! I want his house burned to the ground!")...

Based on Wikipedia, Rahm’s dad was a member of the Zionist terrorist organization Idrun (sp?) that committed violent acts during the British Mandate period. Like father like son.

CNN interviews the hoaxter, a naked liar, and gives full unchallenged voice to his global warming hysterics.

He says that all scientists are onboard that man IS causing global climate change.

So which of his lies are we to believe and why should he get access to a stage or microphone just because he successfully scammed the media on an earlier occasion?

Gee, I can’t imagine why the economy isn’t coming back strong?

Rahm himself served in the Israeli Defense Forces. That is one of the reasons why I don’t understand how he, as a Jew, can assist in the selling out and betrayal of Israel by the BO administration.

Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans

The media doesn’t care when liberals lie to the cameras. Fake but accurate news still allows them to trot out the daily DNC talking points.

It’s right out of Stalin’s playbook. American Pravda in our lifetime.

Frustrating, isn’t it? We know what needs to be done to bring the economy back, and we’ve done it before. It is not a secret formula. But the Obamoids and Congress are taking us in exactly the opposite direction. It’s like they are living in a bubble where any information about recent history has been excluded.

Perhaps being second in command of the new world government is more important to him.

Way back in 1990 I had lunch with a lady friend who had fled Iran. I asked her how it had happened that the Khomeini crowd had taken over. Her answer:

“Because the intellectuals didn’t believe that he would turn on them”

I hope the so-called press may be starting to see that they are not going to be safe from the Chicago thugs either.

“I don’t understand how he, as a Jew, can assist in the selling out and betrayal of Israel by the BO administration.”

And I’ll bet you can’t understand why the jews vote for Anti-Israeli Demonrats.

Sad fact, they are liberals first and Jews second. Sounds backassward to me, but truth is #1.

It would be like me voting for someone who campaigns on a platform of destroying the Vatican.
