Biden On $4 Gas: ‘Our Energy Policy Is The Best It’s Ever Been’
Want to know how the republicans can get the mommy vote? Get all those women who say they will or may vote for Obama? Simple to me, just run constant commercials of Joe Biden running his mouth! Like this one. Say something like: soccer mom, are you happy paying these high gas prices? Still going to vote for the party that loves high gas prices? Listen to your vice president. Bam! Those women will switch over in a heartbeat!
“Here’s the problem: We can’t take—we’re glad to have it—we can’t take responsibility for the Arab Spring and all the dislocation that it’s caused. We’re not taking responsibility for the saber-rattling going on in Iran—that is driving up the futures market for oil, that is driving up prices. That is why we’ve got to do everything, including alternative energy and instead of spending $4 billion subsidizing the oil companies, we should putting that into alternative energy.”

Toledo: 78-Year-Old Man Pummeled By Six Youths Screaming “This Is For Trayvon” — “Kill That White Man”…
This is what America gets in exchange for Obama’s racebaiting for votes and for donations:
(Toledo Blade) — It was six against one.
Six juveniles — the youngest 11, and the oldest 17 — nearly boxed in Dallas Watts, a 78-year-old man from East Toledo.
Mr. Watts was on his way home from the nearby Gas Express Mart at Starr Avenue and White Street about 4:45 p.m. Saturday when the boys approached him.
One pointed at Mr. Watts and said, “take him down,” the victim recounted in an interview Monday.
Mr. Watts, carrying home two small bags of pork rinds to dole out as treats to his three dachshunds, looked at the youth and said, “Why you picking on me?” Mr. Watts recalled. “Remember Trayvon. Why you picking on me?”
The boy, again, allegedly told his friends to “take him down.”
Toledo police charged two children — the 11-year-old and a 17-year-old — with robbery, Sgt. Roy Kennedy said.
The boys on Monday were ordered held in detention at the Lucas County Juvenile Justice Center, prosecutor Lori Olender said.
At one point, the victim recalled being lifted from the ground so one of the boys could “drop-kick” him in the chest.
One boy, he said, put his foot on the back of the victim’s neck, with another shouting, “Kill him.”
While Mr. Watts was down the boys kicked him, over and over, shouting, “[Get] that white [man]. This is for Trayvon. . . Trayvon lives, white [man]. Kill that white [man],” according to a police report.
“The only reason I mentioned Trayvon, that was my defense,” Mr. Watts said. “Don’t pick on me. I am not your enemy.”
(of course, our president will not say that if he had a white grandfather, it would be this man. or sharpton and jackson out organizing lynch mobs to get these 6 black kids killed.)

Why is Obama so rattled? Another speaking gaffe sets off a federal appeals court judge…
Little did Dana Lydia Kaersvang know when she arose Tuesday to go to work as a Justice Department lawyer that by day’s end she would become the center of a major constitutional imbroglio between a panel of U.S. Appeals Court judges and the president of the United States.
Here’s how it started. On Monday President Obama, during a news conference with Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Mexico’s President Felipe Calderon, was asked about last week’s Obamacare arguments before the Supreme Court that did not appear to go well for Obama’s side.
In response, Obama launched into a long explication about the benefits of his healthcare plan, the ones in effect and the many others still to come involving millions of seniors and children, among others. He added, “So there’s not only an economic element to this, and a legal element to this, but there’s a human element to this. And I hope that’s not forgotten in this political debate.”
The president continued:
“Ultimately, I’m confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress.
“And I’d just remind conservative commentators that for years what we’ve heard is, the biggest problem on the bench was judicial activism or a lack of judicial restraint — that an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law. Well, this is a good example. And I’m pretty confident that this Court will recognize that and not take that step.”

Fast and Furious: Ongoing DOJ Internal Investigation Not Really Ongoing

But not one word about their fellow blacks beating up or killing whites being racist! Ah, such freaking ass hypocrites!
(Politico) — Several Congressional Black Caucus members have introduced a resolution that memorializes 17-year-old Trayvon Martin and calls for the repeal of controversial gun laws that allow shooters to claim self-defense.
The resolution states that the February shooting of Martin “sets a horrific precedent of vigilante justice and compromises the integrity of the legal system.” It also says assailant George Zimmerman’s “unfounded assumptions and racial bias led to the use of deadly force.”
Zimmerman’s family and lawyer have refuted claims that he shot Martin because he was black.
“As the Department of Justice continues its thorough investigation into Trayvon Martin’s untimely death, it is time for us as legislators to look at the troubling ‘Stand Your Ground’ law, which has enabled George Zimmerman to remain free,” CBC Chairman Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) said in a statement.
The four-page resolution, sponsored by Cleaver, has three other co-sponsors: Democratic Reps. Corrine Brown, Alcee Hastings and Frederica Wilson – all of Florida, where the shooting occurred.

Geesh, this woman should really look into a mirror and ask just how much shit can she really believe in.
“Congress has always been a mockery,” Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) declared in an interview on “The Charlie Rose Show” Monday night.
Commenting on the public’s current low opinion of Congress, Pelosi said “Congress has always been a mockery since the beginning of our country”:
“Congress has always — let’s put this in perspective — Congress has always been a mockery since the beginning of our country and if you looked at the history of it, they’ve always been fighting over one thing or another. When Speaker Polk, one of the only speakers, I think, to become President of the United States. . .”
“He — he — he said “This place is so out of order then I`m not going to recognize anybody.”
Pelosi then said that shunning “civility” in Congressional debate is “a tactic by obstructionists”:
“But, the fact is, is that if you can get civility back — and that’s why the public has to be part of the solution. They have to demand and insist on the stability because it’s a tactic by obstructionists. If you want to obstruct, you make it so unpleasant that no one wants to pay attention.”

Some where, some village is missing an idiot and should reclaim him soon.
QUESTION: The president’s remarks about the healthcare case in the Supreme Court has been interpreted as challenging or putting pressure on the Court ahead of their decision. Can you speak to that and why not just allow the Court to reach a decision?
JAY CARNEY: First of all, the president was asked a question and then responded to it. Secondly, as I just said, he made an observation about why he believes that — well, first of all, he believes the Affordable Care Act is constitutional. Why he believes it is constitutional and why he believes that the Supreme Court will, in keeping with 80+ years of judicial precedent and Supreme Court precedent, will defer to Congress on its authority to pass regulation on issues of national economic importance like our healthcare system.
It’s the reverse of intimidation. He’s simply making an observation about precedent and the fact that he expects the Court to adhere to that precedent. It’s obviously, as he made clear yesterday, up to the Court to make its determination and we will wait and see what the Court does.

Then this crazy ass woman!
Wasserman Schultz: Ryan Budget A “Path To Poverty”
“President Obama rightly is making sure that the American people understand that there is a dramatic difference in the two visions they will have to choose from in this country come November. And that is a vision that he has laid out and is moving us toward to make sure that everyone in America has a fair shot, that everybody gets a fair shake and everybody play business the same set of rules. And the middle class and working class families have a chance of success, and it’s not just wealthy people and the most fortunate who can have the wind at their backs. That’s what Mitt Romney is about and this is a dramatic contrast. And i n addition to that the unbelievable budget cuts and cutting our way to deficit reduction that really is not a path to prosperity, it’s a path to poverty, is something that the American people need to know,” DNC Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) said on MSNBC this morning.

Obama overheard grumbling about those “damn facts” always screwing him over.
Via Washington Examiner:
Pressed about President Obama’s claim that “a strong majority” passed Obamacare, his spokesman retreated.
“A majority passed [the health care law], Ed,” said visibly-frustrated White House Press Secretary Jay Carney. Fox News’ Ed Henry was grilling Carney after the press secretary said “no,” the Ryan budget — which passed the House with nine more votes than Obamacare received — did not have “a strong majority” of support.
The Ryan budget passed this year by a 228-191 margin. Obamacare passed the House by a 219-212 margin.

NCAS Report on Frank Gehry’s Eisenhower Memorial
Raining nice outside. Been raining at a nice steady pace since early this morning. Did this rain stop us from going to the gym? Heck no! We went at our regular time, and did our workout, then came home at our regular time. Though I at the time had a bad crick or pinched nerve or something on my left shoulder. The workout seemed to have taken care of that though. I am feeling good! Tomorrow though, no gym time! Dammit. Not really dammit, it is our weekly trip to Des Moines to visit with our Aunt Louise. Then stop somewhere to get more some more work out clothes. And lunch, got to have lunch!
Funny wife I have! Yesterday I said real sweetly “honey, want to go somewhere for dinner? pick a place, any place. And you can pay using some of your winnings from the casino the other day”. Geesh! You would of thought I poked her with a cattle prod! She looked at me (and if looks could kill?) and said no way! You won more than me, so you pay! We did not go out for dinner…hahahahhahaa

The Gehry Towers Over Eisenhower:
The National Civic Art Society Report on Frank Gehry’s Eisenhower Memorial
By Justin Shubow
Executive Summary
- The Eisenhower family opposes Frank Gehry’s design for the Memorial. The president’s grandson, the family’s sole representative on the Memorial Commission, has resigned from the Commission.
- The Memorial competition was secretive, exclusive, elitist, and undemocratic—if it was a true competition at all. Only 44 entries were solicited. This is hundreds fewer than the number of entries submitted in previous national memorial competitions, which were open to all.
- An unknown, unconnected designer could not have won, let alone even entered, the competition. It was thanks to America’s openness to talent that Eisenhower was able to rise to the presidency from a humble background. The Memorial competition should have been equally open.
- The Memorial’s only statue of Eisenhower depicts him as a life-size barefoot young boy, a shrinky-dink tikey Ikey. It is a travesty that cuts a great man down to size. Giving Eisenhower the boy treatment would be unthinkable were Eisenhower around to defend himself.
- The design of the boy Eisenhower statue is being advised by Charles Ray, an artist whose work sexualizes children and is obscene.
- The statue of Ike as a Kansas farmer-boy is sentimental kitsch. This Happy McMonument does not befit a statesman who defeated the Nazis and who preserved America’s peace and prosperity. Leadership is not child’s play.
- The Memorial design has contained benches spelling out “IXXI,” the Roman numerals for 9 and 11. Whether this reference to the 9/11 attacks was intentional or negligent, the Memorial’s architect, Frank Gehry, can no longer be trusted with its design.
- In 2003, Gehry refused to help design a replacement for the Twin Towers since he was not offered enough money. That alone makes Gehry unworthy of Eisenhower, who exemplified selfless public service.
- The void at the heart of the Memorial makes it a temple to nothingness. It is a hollow temple, not a hallowed one.
- The Memorial’s crooked-appearing “columns” and tangled “tapestries” do not befit Eisenhower’s upright virtue.
- The Memorial’s titanic “columns” tower over the puny Ike statute. The result is a Leviathan Memorial swallowing a small-fry Eisenhower. The behemoth commemorates Gehry’s ego, not Eisenhower’s greatness and humility.
- Eisenhower would be disgusted at the planning and design of his Memorial. As he lamented in 1962, “What has happened to our concept of beauty and decency and morality?”

(NY Daily News) — This Occupy Wall Street protester is definitely not among the 1% — of brightest Americans.
John Scott DeKuyper arrived for a Wednesday court hearing at the wrong building while carrying a Colt .45 pistol in his leather backpack, police and court officials said.
DeKuyper, 53, was also toting cartridges for the unloaded handgun in his bag when he was handcuffed at the weapon screening area inside 100 Centre St. around 11:30 a.m.
The Lewes, Del., resident said he was licensed to carry the weapon in another state before adding this was “the stupidest thing he’d ever done,” said Lt. Pete Dolan.
Or maybe it was in the top two.
DeKuyper was first arrested last Oct. 15 while trying to yank the badge off the shirt of NYPD Chief of Department Joseph Esposito during a Times Square rally, according to a criminal complaint.
DeKuyper was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and attempted grand larceny. He was supposed to be at 346 Broadway for that hearing.
He was held on $50,000 cash bail Wednesday on the gun charge.

The Mayor of a major US City has an army at his disposal (his words), which includes the ability to bring down a suspect airliner (the words of his police chief).
This Mayor has fielded an Intelligence apparatus that probably rivals the capabilities of most nation-states.
This Mayor is hostile toward most of the ideals embodied in the DoI, Constitution and Bill of Rights. He gives them lip service, but his actions reveal the Tyrant.
Very little was made of recent reports about this Mayor using the intelligence capability of his army beyond the borders of his city, indeed, beyond his State. MSM made little of it. The Right made even less of it. And our own community didn’t choose to address it much.
Of course I am talking about Mayor Bloomberg of New York City.
Do you think, for a moment, that his Intel gathering is limited to Muslims? Do you think the point-man for MAIG probably has already GPS’d the homes of every gun owner, Republican and Patriot in the same region?

KABUL (BHN) Thousand of Muslims in Afghanistan continue to riot after Afghan laborers found charred copies of the Koran while collecting rubbish at Bagram Airbase.
In an effort to prevent this type of situation from happening again, non-Muslims are asked to observe the following Islamic rules for proper Koran disposal:
- Never burn the Koran on the ground – this is considered an insult to the Islamic faith. Always burn the Koran on a plate or in a receptacle.
- Always burn the Koran by itself or with the Hadith – never with other rubbish.
- When disposing of the Koran in a toilet be careful to not defecate on the sacred book as it is forbidden. Urinating on the Koran is acceptable, but only if you have not been drinking alcohol.
- When using a discarded Koran as an absorbent in a cat box, the above rules don’t apply, as the sacred text has no meaning for cats, and they have little control over where they poop.

Just our PATHETIC president kissing islamic ass yet again!
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – The Afghan president’s office says it has received a letter from President Obama formally apologizing for the burning of Qurans at a U.S. military base in Afghanistan.
The statement from President Hamid Karzai’s office says the U.S. ambassador delivered the letter on Thursday.
In the letter, which is quoted in the statement, Obama expresses his “deep regret for the reported incident” and offers his “sincere apologies.”
According to the statement, Obama wrote: “The error was inadvertent; I assure you that we will take the appropriate steps to avoid any recurrence, to include holding accountable those responsible.”

But will WE get an apology from the afghan president?
(CBS News) — Two U.S. troops have been shot to death and four more wounded by an Afghan solider who turned his gun on his allies in apparent anger over the burning of Qurans at a U.S. military base in Afghanistan, an Afghan official tells CBS News.
A statement from the International Security Assistance Force – Afghanistan, the international coalition in the country, confirmed that two troops were killed in Eastern Afghanistan on Thursday by “an individual wearing an Afghan National Army uniform.”
ISAF does not typically give the nationality of casualties until family members have been notified, but the CBS News source in the Afghan government said those killed and injured in the attack in the Khogyani district of the eastern Ningarhar province along the border with Pakistan were Americans.
The source also said the shooting appeared to be motivated by the burning of Qurans at the sprawling U.S. Bagram air base, north of Kabul, but he did not provide additional details as to what led him to that conclusion.

(CBS News) — Prosecutors recently sentenced a Texas man, Manuel Barba, for trafficking a weapon connected to the murder of Immigration and Customs (ICE) Agent Jaime Zapata. Nobody was more astonished to learn of the case than Zapata’s parents, who didn’t know that Barba had been arrested or linked to their son’s murder.
“The family was obviously surprised to learn that there was a case involving a weapon linked to the Zapata incident,” attorney Trey Martinez told CBS News. Martinez represents Zapata’s parents and the surviving ICE agent in the assault, Victor Avila. “They were surprised they had never been contacted in the capacity as victims so they could give a response or some kind of reaction at the time of sentencing.”
Barba was sentenced to 100 months in prison on January 30th. When we asked why the Zapatas weren’t contacted, prosecutors in Houston told CBS News they only handled the weapons charges: conspiracy, false statements and exportation/receipt of firearms. Zapata’s actual murder “is being handled by another US Attorney’s office and… is separate and apart from the firearms case that was handled by our district,” said a spokeswoman. She added the firearms offenses “are crimes that do not involve victims in the legal sense of the word and therefore, notifications are not part of the legal process.”
In a related development, CBS News has obtained documents showing that Barba was under ATF surveillance for at least six months before a rifle he trafficked was used in Zapata’s murder. Zapata’s government vehicle was ambushed by suspected cartel thugs in Mexico Feb. 15, 2011.
Documents indicate ATF opened its case against Barba, entitled “Baytown Crew,” in June of 2010. During the investigation, court records state Barba recruited straw purchasers and “facilitated the purchase and exportation of at least 44 firearms” including assault rifles. On August 20, 2010 Barba took delivery of the WASR-10 semi-automatic rifle later used in Zapata’s murder, obliterated its serial number, and sent it to Mexico with nine others just like it. Nearly two months later, on Oct. 8, 2010, ATF agents recorded a phone call in which Barba “spoke about the final disposition of … firearms to Mexico and also about the obliterating of the serial numbers before they were trafficked.” Barba told straw purchasers the guns were destined for the Zeta drug cartel.
