Watch for Gregory to help Emmanuel wiggle out of any Solyndra questions. Right now Drudge has an article that shows Emmanuel knew about problems with Solyndra going back to 2009.....
Of course, Gregory would let Rahm take the fall if it meant Obama isn’t implicated.
I like how there’s loads of pre-printed signs (thanks, SIEU!) but that Obama/Lenin poster? In all honesty, I wonder if that was simply re-used from a TEA Party protest, because it would serve the exact same purpose: Identifying the tiger by his stripes.
These protesters look suspiciously like the “celebrants” who “spontaneously” showed up outside the White House to hoot and hollar the night bin Laden was killed.
But that’s the problem with Astro Turf. No contours.
The Wall St protestors will be thankful that you are providng tax dollars by working so they can protest and keep up to date on their Iphones.
No Linda Graham, either!
Issa says people at the top of Justice knew what was going on.
Holder invited back to lie some more. (Wallace shows heavily redacted memos)
Issa "Will take him at his word"...BUT, (trust but verify) If Lanny Brewer knew, why didn't Holder know?
Holder was quoting a story they he planted.
Morning AB, All....
First, bless me God. For this weekend my mother-in-law, the liberal from Massachusetts, is visiting.
Most times, really, she’s a very nice and sweet person. But there are times that come out of nowhere, when she grows horns and becomes evil. I shall give such an example but the most important in terms of this thread below.
Before, thank you AB, for doing this thread, for your steady but fair hand, for your dependability. I shall be signing off after this post as I am singing this morning, then pick up MIL from her hotel, then coming home to entertain her. I’ll try to sign back on.
Politics is one delicate subject around MIL as she was an avid Obama supporter and you can thank her as one amongst many who voted him, who thought he was a very nice, well-spoken black man, who considered his children precious, whose white guilt had her pulling the lever for a communist. There were many arguments those years ago and I avoid any political discussion out of, well respect really. Dear Lord she means well, she mostly doesn’t take her vote for granted, she listens to the news, she watches MSNBC and loves Rachel Maddow. You should smile.
My husband, HER SON, doesn’t show such niceties during his mother’s visit and he will grump about Obama and the Democrats (MIL is NOT a Democrat, she is one of your precious Independents who decide elections, you should sob). For all my political vitriol I just don’t go there around her; husband does not obey any such rule.
For a day and a half I’ve avoid politics save a mention of my duties in the local GOP, a local sheriff issue and such....skirting around the communist in the WH and how I’d like to slap her silly and ask her...HOW’S THAT HOPE AND CHANGE WORKING FOR YA?
“They’ll never pass that health care bill,” she told me back during the debates on that piece of legislation that an 82 year old woman like herself should be listening to. Her son warned her they would be going directly after her but she pooh-poohed it. Since that crap has been jammed down our throats we’ve not discussed it. But I know she had to be upset about it and, turns out, it was.
So we’re riding along, I’m showing her Sussex county landmarks if there are such things. I sigh and tell her how this is just a wonderful place to live. She says it does seem like a nice area.
“I caution,” I said, “Sussex county’s not for everybody. We’re very conservative.” Then I added, softly and just to make a point, not to cause an argument...as I giggled...”We’re not likely to vote for Obama is what I’m saying here.”
“Well I’m not either,” she said from the back sear, firmly, with a hint of anger.
Hey, I got class. I didn’t say I told you so. I didn’t smirk and ask how the hope and change that once so enthralled her failed her.
To my surprise, she bought up the list of republican candidates and asked my opinion. And guess who she really likes?
HERMAN CAIN!!!!!!!
Maybe it’s that white guilt, you should smile.
She likes Romney as well, hey, she’s from Massachusetts. She can’t stand Christie as she thinks he’s nasty. She said she knew we probably didn’t like Huntsman but she kind of liked him.
“Never. He worked for Obama.”
I shushhed my husband who said the above, telling him he was just the ambassador to China. “I don’t want anything to do with anybody who worked for Obama,” curmudgeon husband said. His mother nervously laffed as I artfully steered the discussion back to the Republican slot.
I know it’s only one person folks, but if I had a bunch of money I’d bet it all that the transformation of my MIL is very indicative of the precious independents across the country.
And they’re definitely trending conservative. My MIL is going republican, full throttle.
gotta go, talk at you later.
Well, I say that to be sure people don’t give me credit for those words, rather than Bray. I only want Bray to get the credit. Very often people post or FReepmail back to me about what a great essay I wrote...
Holder’s argument is now that Issa didn’t know either! And Wallace is flogging Issa with it. This is one of the oldest Soviet disinformation tricks—accuse the accuser.
So very KGB!
So yer sayin’...Emanuel is a maggot?
Govt: IMF to toughen Egypt's loan conditions
The last IMF loan was supposed to have beenfor $3.2 billion. The article says the Egyptians turned down the loan. But I'll bet there's an interesting backstory here....
Undoubtedly SEIU dirtbags all!!
Good job Pat! I’m seeing similar words from some Left-leaning “Independents” I know, too.
[(A video from the Congressional hearing)
Tyrant's AG Holder: Heard (only) of FAST and
FURIOUS in last few weeks."]
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif.:
People want to know how could it happen
A lot of weapons had been let 'walk'.
(Correcting Wallace): They were not tracked.
Issa begins to explain and is interrupted by Wallace
want to know about the subpoena for Obama/Holder.
Wallace attempts to list possible subpoena issues,
and Issa just plows through.
Issa: What did he know?
Wallace actually acts as Holder's lawyer going through
his comments, explaining, and helping Holder's "push back".
Wallace quotes Holder exactly saying
"I didnt know guns walk".
Issa correcting the RomneyBOT: That is disingenuous on its face.
Months before he said he knew ..
Is he competent? ... Why didn't he know?
Wallace detours from Issa's reasonable complaints
and has slides ready to 'trial balloon' for Holder.
Incredible number. Detailed.
Wallace now deposes Issa.
Issa demurs, points out the bias,
and then answers clearly.
Wallace gets nervous and interrupts and says the opposite.
Wallace: (interrupting) "I have to point out ..."
[Wallace appears possibly deeply knowledgeable
into FAST and FURIOUS, himself]
Wallace continues his deposition of Issa instead
of discussing the obvious impropriety
of Obama/Holder investigating .. HIMSELF!
Yes, but I believe it has already been shown that he publicly spoke of it years ago.
Funny how lying liars forget about "Memorex".
I thought Issa did a really good job calmly presenting his case and staying within what they can prove at this point in time. Like all coverups, the worst is yet to come out, there is no point in hyping it at this point. The truth IMO will be far more devastating when it is filtered through the attempts at keeping it from coming out.
One of the things I have always DESPISED about these Sunday morning shows are the pandering commercials run by oil companies in which “thoughtful” citizens mourn about the future of the “planet” but are pacified by the front lady voiceover from X Company telling them not to worry, the oil giant is REALLY WORRIED TOO and is in fact working on “alternatives,” a code word for NOTHING THAT REALLY EXISTS but I digress.
I would prefer oil company ads that show smokestacks spewing black bilge into the air and a voiceover that says, “You are only able to drive to work today because of our product. Deal with it.”
Issa was good but the Soviet-style strategy to villify him and thus distract from the operation will persist. It worked with Joseph McCarthy and has ever since.
Santorum is saying he wants no corporate taxes on manufacturing. IMO he is playing the favorites game. Lower corporate taxes on all companies, not just one sector.
Yes. I think that’s something we can all agree about.
