GOP Must Push Back on Obama

by James A. Bridge

Confetti continues to fall on the "Obama Thrills and Chills" parade, and why shouldn't it? Barack Hussein Obama has only been President of the United States for a few days.

But one has to wonder how long the Bush-bashing, biased media corps will continue to offer the chief Democrat political cover.

For as sure as shootin', any "stimulus" plan for this flagging economy that includes deficit spending will drop the market like a stone. Wall Street has already sent its message to the President. In 140+ years, no incoming President has ever been greeted with a lower Wall Street posting.

As if the economy couldn't get worse, add to that the moves already afoot to "green America" and re-ban drilling for oil will send oil prices skyrocketing again.

Will the Press hold him accountable for these circumstances as they arise? We have to wonder. A little research reveals that there are somewhere around 115,000 print and broadcast media journalists in the United States. Polls of journalists reveal that 75% of them adhere to a Liberal political philosophy or are Democrats. Look back to Campaign 2008, when 75% of all stories were about Barack Hussein Obama, and all becomes clear.

We are watching, we who did not back Obama, we who know Obama wasn't "elected to unite us all." But where is the Press?

We heard a chirrup of "Obama was elected to unite us all" from several columnists, Maureen Dowd for one, who must be taking her columns directly from Rahm Emanuel's press releases. Let's not forget for a moment that 57 million people did not vote for an Obama presidency, Maureen. Yes, this election was a landslide from an electoral college point of view, but it was hardly that in the popular vote. Ten percent more voted for Obama than McCain. Did you forget, too, the 40 million or so who didn't vote? More on that in a future column.

The G.O.P. must confront the specter of Obamanomics, and stop feeling good about the chum tossed upon the ebb-tide waters of Republican political power. Retaining Robert Gates, offering up hawkish Hillary as Secretary of State, and keep General Petraeus in place, indicating General James Jones for National Security Adviser are choices that give comfort to Republicans. This is but an overt play at mollifying the defeated. As welcome as these choices might be, no Republican should be fooled. The following nominations bring some clarity through the Obama-fog: Timothy Geithner--the tax cheat and illegal alien employer; Eric Holder, who was behind the pardons of Bill Ayer's and Berandine Dohrn' s Weather Underground cronies, the F.A.L.N. terrorists, and financial crook Marc Rich--and Leon Pannetta, who all but destroyed the C.I.A. the last time he was in charge.

There are at least 34 reasons why G.O.P. must stand firm aside from all of this: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin. All of these Class III Senate seats are up for election in 2010.

So, in closing, be pleased, Hawks, with what was offered in the right hand. Studiously observe what is proffered from the left. Push back at every opportunity.

This is the American Way.

President-Elect LIAR: He's No Whistle-blower

The trail of lies of Barack Hussein Obama is so legendary that it has become almost too much to process.

Both Obama bashers and Obama supporters have been still in the almost nuclear aftermath of the Rod Blagojevich scandal. "I did not have contact with Governor Blagojevich's office,"; quoth Barack Hussein Obama. And of course, we knew with that utterance two things.

ONE: President-Elect Barack Hussein Obama is a liar. Who didn't know that immediately? It was his own Senate seat, after all. His first impulse was to LIE to us all. And why not? It has, until now, worked so well for him.
TWO: President-Elect Barack Hussein Obama is not the whistle-blower we'd hoped he would be in the Blagojevich affair. Instead, he might be a subject of the investigation.

So we usher in to American History the potentially already gored and hamstrung Presidency of a man whose past was shielded from us by an obvious promise of cover from the news "machers" at the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Tribune Corporation, from CNN, from MSNBC, from ABC, NBC, CBS and countless others.

Why the silence everywhere about it, from Right and Left?

From the Conservative side, the 56 million who saw through his fraudulent persona as "change agent"; are waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Conservatives wanted a fair examination of Obama's murky and dubious past and never got it. Because that check would have taken us to Springfield, Illinois, and to Barack Hussein Obama's role in Blagojevich's re-election campaign in 2006. If Barack Hussein Obama didn't know the extent of Blagojevich's legendary corruption at that time, then he is truly the stupidest person ever to graduate from Harvard Law.

Instead, the Bush-hating gatekeepers of our disgraced main stream media and entertainment industries threw millions at Wasilla, Alaska, to find some kind of dirt on Sara Palin. Governor Palin was the object of that thorough vetting, she who ran for office against her OWN party as a
reformer; she who blew the whistle on corruption within government through the oil industry. Obama? He wasn't the whistle-blower, Jesse Jackson Jr. was. But he should have been.

From the Liberal side there is also silence. There, where a coalition of 9 million of disaffected moderates who hated either the economic swoon, John McCain, Sara Palin, or George Bush, joined with 55 million Liberals to bring the Democratic Party to the White House once again, they are afraid to breathe. Why? Because the initial reactions from the Wall Street Journal gives us the hint that a section of the gatekeeper mafia may want the truth of the Blagojevich affair to be fully aired.

There is no avoiding this much: Tony Rezko, who gave Barack Hussein Obama his mansion for a song, will be heard from again (speaking of singing). (Wasn't it just revealed that Rezko's lawyer is actually the owner of record of the Obama mansion?)

For Barack Hussein Obama, the road to the White House should have led thousands of reporters through Blago-land and the South Side of Chicago, should have caused the Press to examine the connections of Barack Hussein Obama to anti-White racism in his and his wife's own words and deeds, along with his associations with William Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn and Reverend Wright, ACORN, and all their doings with the Annenberg Challenge Grant. The Press should have asked Barack Hussein Obama, "why did you say in your autobiography that 'white man's greed puts the world in need', Mr. Obama?"; They did not ask that. They didn't say to Barack Hussein Obama: "Mr. Obama, you corrected your own record at least four times on whether or how long you have know Bill Ayers and Bernadnine Dohrn. Why were you not able to be truthful to the American people in this matter?"

We may finally get answers to these questions now. but the appropriate time for this was during the campaign season. But truth in reporting was on holiday, then. The Press, instead of asking the hard questions, was too busy making history in a wanton abuse of its power to influence us all.

Now, we may have to face an Obama Presidency that has a built in timer of scandal and disaster. U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald is doing the work that the Tribune Corporation should have done. But he won't be asking the state of Illinois for sweetheart deals like Tribune did.
