President Obama Commits Treason -- Dogcatcher

Posted by onlinebenny on Friday, April 24, 2009 1:16:19 PM
It's not enough that he hates America.  No.  It's not enough to go around apologizing wherever there is a microphone for the sins of this country -- the list of sins continues to grow bigger.  But to have an elected President releasing national security secrets is simply unconscionable.  And that is exactly what these legal opinions released by Obama are.  The feeding frenzy of the media is only a sideshow.  Only the extreme left really cares about this so-called torture and that's why the "torture" stories haven't helped increase the circulation of the NY TImes or other newspapers.

But that's a sideshow.  And the show trials coming up -- those will be sideshows too.  The sensitive national security information which this administration so cavalierly releases to the press (they don't even bother with leaking the info, they simply print it up) signals any enemy, actual or potential, that our most precious national secrets are for sale by an administration seeking nothing more than fleeting political gain in exchange for the information.  It's absolutely sickening.  Unfortunately, I don't think that a President can actually be charged and tried for treason.

Worse still, Republicans will one day be elected to clean up yet another mess of Jimmy Carter proportions.  Those Republicans will do the responsible thing and not act like current Democrats in criminalizing politics by going after former administration officials who acted in good faith.  Yet, they will get no kudos for doing the right thing and will face the same witch hunt when the next Democrat gets elected.

Enough of this Dogcatching

Posted by onlinebenny on Monday, April 20, 2009 8:49:27 PM
Am I alone in thinking that Obama is more dangerous than we give him credit for?  Going around apologizing to everyone, embracing a dictator like he's a bosom buddy, slicing up the economic pie in ever smaller pieces, rather than growing a bigger pie.  He has no problem at all revealing secret internal memos on critical intelligence and national security matters.  On the same day that Ahmedinejad runs off at the mouth, all we get is a weak "the President obviously doesn't share this view" from his press secretary.  Yet, the President will speak to this dictator.

Because our president believes in the righteousness of everyone else's anti-American causes.  I have been lying low for a few weeks (Passover and all), but also because I am in despair.

Dogcatcher Chairman MaoBama

Posted by onlinebenny on Thursday, April 02, 2009 10:21:38 AM
I came across this article from the AP:  LONDON – Juggling crises, President Barack Obama joined his South Korean counterpart Thursday in calling for a "stern, united" world response if North Korea goes ahead with a long-range rocket launch.

Does Chairman MaoBama ever say anything of substance?  Seriously, are they always platitudes?  What exactly is stern and united?  Did President Bush always speak like this.  I wonder.  Maybe I am just pretending that Bush had more substance.

Chairman MAObama -- wisdom

Posted by onlinebenny on Tuesday, March 31, 2009 2:26:27 PM
Chairman MAObama says the government is now running parts and service at General Motors.  I guess now "inefficiency is Job 1".

What a bush-league dogcatcher

Posted by onlinebenny on Friday, March 20, 2009 5:00:10 PM
I listened toObama's message to Iran; for those who thought Bush was silly for finishing reading that children's story on 9-11, just listen to the childish sound of his voice.  How can anyone take this naivete seriously.  He will be lauded for the "courageous" nature of his outreach.  As far as I'm concerned, Obama and his team are (no pun intended) bush leaguers.

Orszag: Blame the Next Two Years on Bush

Posted by onlinebenny on Wednesday, March 04, 2009 12:46:06 PM
Stuck here in Bakruptcy court in Central Islip, NY waiting for the Chapter 7 Trustee (think of that job as the Town Dogcatcher) to get through his 10:30 calendar so that he can start his 11:30 calendar 90 minutes late. What does he care, he seems hungover anyway? Might as well blog to pass the time. That dogcatcher of the budget - Peter Orszag spent much of his time on CNBC this morning pawning off all economic problems as well as the drop in the Dow since the inauguration as being something obama inherited. Hey dogcatcher, your master was elected because he sais he would fix things. He then essentially saidb that the Obama Administration should have "a year or two" to be allowed to show results. That's two full years of blaming Bush, right through the 2010 elections. Don't fall for this. Throw these dogs out right when the failure is evident. Howl at every failure. Resist e very attempt to steal our income through confiscatory tax policies.

Dog Catch of the Day -- Obama and State Secrets

Posted by onlinebenny on Tuesday, March 03, 2009 1:26:20 PM
Am I the only person outraged by what the Obama and his dogcatcher Holder have done in releasing classified memos from the Bush administration.  Where are the Republicans on this?  This is not about defending Bush; this is about defending the Prsidency.  For that matter, Democrats should be outraged too.  A lawyer asked to render a legal opinion designed to justify a position is doing a service for his client.  He is not bending the law, but looking for an interpretation of that law which covers the situation at that time.

In any event, is there any media outlet covering this for what it is:  an assault on the prerogative of the Executive Branch of government and the willful release of state secrets?  Obama is committing treason.  Arrest him, put him in jail.

Dog Catch of the Day -- Quiet Encouragement of Democracy ( A sellout by any other name would smell just the same)

Posted by onlinebenny on Monday, February 23, 2009 5:53:15 PM
How do they get the NY Times to print this stuff?  Do the reporters have no shame?  Look at this article:Quieter Approach to Spreading Democracy Abroad.  Not only does the article reveal the corruption of those advising Obama -- David Plouffe accepting money from anti-democratic forces -- it portrays the Obama sellout of fledgling democracies as a subtle, positive shift in policy.  More disgraceful still is the opinionating posing as reporting as in describing Bush's "grand, even grandiose vision" and going on to "report" that  the "shift has been met with relief in Washington and much of the world, which never grew comfortable with Mr. Bush’s missionary rhetoric, seeing it as alternately cynical or naïve."  That the article has no facts to back this up -- or seems to think that no facts are needed to back it up -- shows the purely editorializing nature of the reporting.

Dog Catch of the Day -- Tutu wants Obama to start apologizing

Posted by onlinebenny on Saturday, February 21, 2009 11:58:20 PM
One of the things I found so irritating about Bill Clinton was his incessant need to travel to foreign capitals and apologize for American military and/or intelligence actions.  Now that Desmond Tutu has urged Obama to apologize for Iraq, I think we will see the beginning of a long cycle of these apologies.  Far from making the U.S. look good, this self-flagellation only serves to make our government look ridiculous in the eyes of friends and foes alike.  What purpose does it serve?  We never apologized to Eastern Europe for Yalta; should that be next?   But we should apologize to Iraq for getting rid of Saddam?  I am sickened.  Perhaps Obama will start a new campaign:  He will apologize on behalf of the U.S, and he will conitnually urge all of the former colonial powers to issue apologies for their behavior; followed by a full-bore offfensive against Israel for its "shameful" actions against the poor Palestinians.

Dog Catch of the Day -- Obama: More Proof he is not qualified to be elected DogCatcher

Posted by onlinebenny on Friday, February 20, 2009 3:52:32 PM
President Obama said today that if he sees any wasteful spending by government agencies, he "will call them out."  Well, he can't veto the spending bill anymore.  So he will call them out.  I can't wait to see the mainstream media report this as a "good government" initiative.

On another note, listening to Lou Dobbs' show in the car, I heard a clip of Obama going ever further in ratcheting up the panic/catastrophe angle.  He will not stop until every last person in this country is paralyzed with fear.  I have seen otherwise intelligent people buying into the fear, saying things like this is the worst we've ever seen.  I'm not that old, but I remember the 1970's.  That was really dispiriting, but we muddled through.  And the beginning of Reagan's presidency saw such an uptick in unemployment and interest rates, that I was convinced that Reagan had no idea what he was doing.  Yet Reagan didn't talk down our future.  Things were bleak, but hope emanated from our leaders.  Not this leader, however:  he is Jimmy Carter redux and more (what more I'm not sure).

Hold(er) that Dogcatcher!!! Obama Gives new Meaning to "Permanent Campaign"

Posted by onlinebenny on Thursday, February 19, 2009 10:10:08 PM
If I understood Holder correctly, he wants to get into our private lives.  Perhaps Holder wants to draft some laws or issue regulations which will curtail our freedom to associate as we please.  Of course, this could not be sold as a curtailment of our freedom of association, but rather as the "full realization of that right."  I just cannot seem to get my arms around this, but I can think of no other reason why Holder would speak of how Americans act outside the workplace and on the weekends.  Can anyone help me with this?  Am I getting too paranoid?

On another note, why does Obama need to make every policy proposal a campaign rally?

Dogcatcher Update: Sitmulus -- Dog Catch of the Day

Posted by onlinebenny on Thursday, February 12, 2009 11:36:11 AM
We will never know, because the congressional dogcatchers passed the bill, but I wonder:  Would doing absolutely nothing -- and I'm not even sure what that means, because I am not even sure we needed to "save: the financial system when we created TARP -- but doing absolutely nothing other than the current level of wasteful government spending:  would the economy turn around faster, slower or not at all?  Look, I was an economics major in college, but I don't claim any special expertise.  Yet, is $800 billion enough or too much?  i know bloggers are supposed to be like pundits -- sure of everything they spout -- but I admit my ignorance and my ambivalence.

Dogcatcher Update: Geithner

Posted by onlinebenny on Wednesday, February 11, 2009 7:50:03 AM
What passes for policy in the Obama administration:  Put a person on a podium that has some meaningless phrase on it, such as "Financial Stability and Recovery."  There is no further need for discussion.  Funny, I remember a time when the seal of the U.S. or the Treasury Department would suffice for symbolism.  Thankfully,  the "Office of the President Elect" has ceased to function.  Maybe this flies right with their intended audience.  Do they think that investors and anyone else with common sense will fall for this third-rate symbolism?  I am not even sure if that is a rhetorical question.

Obama: adventures of our Dogcatcher-in-chief

Posted by onlinebenny on Tuesday, February 10, 2009 3:41:42 PM
Obama's early foreign policy -- can wanting to be liked/loved be a foreign policy or the basis of one? -- is reminiscent of the early days of JFK when he met Khruschev (in Vienna?) And was perceived to be clearly out of his depth. What's different is that Obama is seen to be out of hsi depth (Russia, Iran, Arab street, North Korea) and he has yet to meet them. When they meet him, he will be perceived to be out of his depth and naïve to a degree that they cannot even imagine. Also, JFK at least learned some lessons and toughened up -- he did serve in WWII after all. No such toughening is likely from a president barely qualified to be our dogcatcher-in-chief; watch, they will create a federal dogcatcher position. This president believes that apologies, mea culpas, self-demonizations, and good public platitudinal speaking will lead us into an era of improved security. I can only hope that we will all live to regret the election of such a clearly unqualified president. Even Jimmy Carter was more qualified to be president. Hopefully, he will be like carter and only cause us one term of American weakness and misery.
