Hey Joe, why do you ~ suppose ~ that factory was moved overseas in the first place?

   Could it be that they want to DUMP Obama?

Many of them must already be thinking about special prosecutors, grand juries, and sworn statements?  Is Joe suddenly looking like the weakest link in a chain of corruption, high crimes, and high misdemeanors?

  Is “Lovable Joe” suddenly the Achilles heel of the Obama Cartel?

Joe Biden was never the sharpest tack in the box.  A B- student at best, the sometime athlete and full-time party boy got through high school, college, and later law school by cramming.  Ethics seems to have been a lifelong problem – he flunked a law school exam when he plagiarized a law review article.

During the Vietnam War he received five draft deferments until the told he draft board that ‘he had childhood asthma’.

Biden has benefited politically from personal tragedy.  His first wife was killed in a traffic accident along with his infant daughter just weeks after he was first elected to the US Senate.  While the sympathy vote and Delaware corporate headquarters money kept him in the Senate through six re-elections, – he has almost no legislative record.

Instead he has a reputation as a gaffe-prone fool – a classic example of a fool with a foot in his mouth.  Even by the election campaign of 2008 – his second run for the White House – he didn’t know the difference between Sunni and Shi’a Muslims.  He probably still doesn’t.

So why did Obama select him as a running mate?

Life insurance!  Obama’s handlers calculated that if a right-wing extremist would be tempted to assassinate Obama, the specter of the Village Idiot becoming President would be enough to thwart the attempt.  So far it’s worked like a charm.

To the 50% of American voters who blithely pay little or no attention to their government on a week in – week out basis [i.e. - the very ones who voted for Obama],  Joe’s white hair and age seemed to balance Obama’s brashness and lack of a résumé.

In reality it was a case of combining an empty résumé with a blank résumé. 

So now Obama is deep into a clearly failed presidency.  Democrats have been losing even ‘sure’ races since Scott Brown dethroned the Kennedy dynasty.  2012 looms like a mass extinction.

The Democratic Party insiders would settle on ~ almost ~ anything to remove Obama from the limelight now.  But Obama – who needs limelight like you need oxygen – is unlikely to agree to a single term.

Desperate, the Dems ~ might even go along ~ with an impeachment.  There is plenty of justification; – Fast & Furious, Solyndra, and shooting wars in Libya and Yemen are all high crimes serious enough to warrant impeachment proceedings.

BUT, – they’d be left with the Village Idiot as our lame-duck president, – and he would quickly make the rest of the Democratic Party look like a breeding farm for idiots.

This would NOT give Hillary the jump-start she needs to overcome the scandals in her background – Whitewater, the Rose Law Firm over-billing records, her affair with Vince Foster, the forty-plus Arkancides, Travelgate, and the Lewinsky scandal.

So Biden matters because what looked like a ‘clever campaign tactic‘ in August 2008 – now sits as a nearly immovable obstacle to Hillary’s 2012 presidential campaign.

Yes People,  at every level of business and politics, the #2 matters!  Think back to Lyndon Johnson if you’re old enough.  Or, … look at Joe Biden.

For Democrat insiders today – looking at Joe Biden must be a sickening cringe-worthy experience.  And Joe grins back at them.

America’s #2 Public Humiliation – Vice President Joe Biden – flew to China to reassure them that ~ somehow ~ we’ll tax enough billionaires to ~ someday ~ pay back all the money they’ve lent us.

The Chinese used this willing fool to full advantage.  He gave a mind-numbing speech at Sichuan University in which he:

  -  praised China’s help in ‘containing North Korea’s nuclear program’ – totally disregarding their proliferation of small arms and high-tech weaponry to trouble spots and goons around the world – most noticeably to Iran and Pakistan.

  -  took delight in bragging how Obama had ‘totally reformed our export control system’ [translation – allowed damn near anything with military value to be sold to the Chinese.]

  -  uttered gibberish and double talk about human rights and China’s one-child policy – -

A]s I was talking to some of your leaders, you share a similar concern here in China. You have no safety net. Your policy has been one which I fully understand — I’m not second-guessing — of one child per family. The result being that you’re in a position where one wage earner will be taking care of four retired people. Not sustainable.

So, hopefully we can act in a way on a problem that’s much less severe than yours, and maybe we can learn together from how we can do that.

Can Biden really not know about the 40-70 million people who were either killed or who starved as Mao siezed and consolidated power?

Can Biden really not know about the  13,000,000 forced abortions PER YEAR being done in China under their one-child policy?  

Could he possibly not know about the selective abortion of girls,  infanticide of girl babies,  and abandonment of girl babies – to the extent that some 25 million Chinese men will never marry – because there are no brides available?

How could an American vice president – just a heartbeat away from the Oval Office – and supposedly a Catholic – be so ignorant and so insensitive about such major issues?

Is he really this stupid?  Is he just a slap-happy political pawn for Obama?

Res ipso loquitor:  the thing speaks for itself!

 Elizabeth Alexander, Biden’s spokeswoman, said Tuesday there’s no do-over in the works. “We’ve checked with the Senate parliamentarian, and he’s told us that whether Senator Kirk held up his left or right hand is of no consequence and has no bearing on his status as a sitting senator,” she said.

No do-over?  Really?  Explain this:

Folks, there’s no nice way of saying this.  

Joe Biden was not chosen by BHO Jr for what he might possibly add to the 2008 ticket to win votes, or for how he might lend wisdom and experience in running the country.

He was chosen as a life insurance policy for Obama.  

Simply put, even the most ardent Obama-hater is compelled to think twice before trying to pull an Oswald, a Fromme or a Hinckley,  because we’d be stuck with President Joe Idiot.  

What were those average Democrat voters thinking back in 2008?  Do you think they’ve learned anything since?  Maybe the 10% who are still out of work?  Nah, it’s still all Bush’s fault.

Crash at Smolensk

Tragedy begets tragedy.

This story has it roots 71 years ago – the secret part of the “non-aggression pact” between Hitler and Stalin signed 25 August 1939.  The secret parts included the deal to divide Poland between them.  

Blitzkrieg Worked

Seven days later Hitler invaded Poland.  Casual history students consider this the beginning of WWII.  Most don’t realize that simultaneously, Russia also invaded, forcing the unready Poles to fight on two fronts. 

Stalin’s Russia ended up with an enormous amount of Polish prisoners, who were taken deep into Russia.  They were dead men walking. In March 1940 upon the recommendation of his chief of secret police, Stalin ordered them all shot.  The deed took weeks – as trainloads were taken from the camps under the guise of being taken home.  Instead they were taken to the Katyn woods and systematically executed.  The intellectual and leadership cream of Poland was exterminated within a month.  The murder of 22,000 Poles was a trivial matter to Stalin, who had already murdered 20,000,000 of his own people.

Hitler was probably unaware at the moment.  By June 4^th 1940 he had pushed the British army off the beach at Dunkirk.  On 22 June 1941, he invaded Russia.  A disbelieving Stalin stayed drunk for a week. 

In April 1943 German units discovered the mass graves in Katyn, and called in the Swiss Red Cross to document what they thought would be a propaganda victory.  But Stalin managed to lie his way out of the deed, and convinced the British and Americans that it had been Nazi units who’d killed the Poles.  The see-saw blame game would continue for decades, until the fall of the USSR in 1989. 

President Kaczynski – Final Words

So yesterday Polish President Lech Kaczynski flew to Smolensk to observe the 70^th anniversary of the massacre.  But his Soviet-built plane crashed on landing in the fog, killing all aboard.  Poland is today without it’s top leaders. 

And thus the lesson for American voters is be damned careful who your future presidential candidates take as their VP running mates! 

We all know that Obama picked the Village Idiot solely as life insurance,  figuring no matter how badly some wacko snipers might want to cap him, they’d not risk having Biden in exchange.  But airplanes and helicopters crash all the time.  It was the shoot-down of Rwanda President Juvénal Habyarimana and Burundi President Cyprien Ntaryamira in 1994 which started the Hutu-Tutsi genocide.

Feb 2009

Your pResident has had an awful week Americans. His plan to shove us into the brave new world of Socialism has been derailed by the election of a single senator from Massachusetts. His boss and mentor – George Soros – must be throwing fits. After all, he’s invested so much money in this Manchurian candidate.  So tonight the Puppet is going to put on his bravest face,   and walk into the well of the House, and lie to you. We can’t stop his lies, but we can be prepared for them,  and enjoy the theater.

Suddenly ObamaCare and Cap&Tax are dead in the water.  So is another “Stimulus” bill.  Democrats are dropping from his coat tails like flies, deciding not to seek re-election or actually standing up to him on issues like bringing KSM to trial in NYC.   And just Tuesday evening a Zogby poll revealed that if held today Scott Brown could beat Obama!  Now that has got to hurt a lifelong narcissist.

So he’ll try to sell you some smoke and mirrors. He’ll call for a “spending freeze” as the first step in stabilizing the economy, and restarting the jobs market.  And he’ll attack those “fat cats” on Wall Street and at the big banks. He wants to tax the profits that last year he wanted them to start making [they dared to pay bonuses].

You’re expected to swallow the bait – that a $30 Billion “freeze” is a good thing.  You’re not supposed to see the CBO report today which said unemployment would remain above 10% for all of 2020 and well into 2011. You’re supposed to be unaware of the $14 Trillion debt we owe, and the money we’re printing to try covering the interest.  And you’re supposed to forget about drilling for our own oil.

So play a little Buzz-Word Bingo!   You can score extra points for things the actors do:

The Botox Bounce  [Pelosi bouncing up to cheer – her first 10 don’t count.]

The Dufus Point  [The Village Idiot flashing his ivorys and pointing at old drinking buddies "Hey, can you believe it,  I'm the VP!"]

Giving O The Clap  [When the Dems stand and fake applause while the Republicans remain seated.]

And if you have kids – oh say 12 years old and older, - they should watch with you.  Explain that despite the pomp and ceremony,  this may be one of the lowest points in the history of our government.  But that Mr. Obama has been caught in many of his lies, Americans are waking up, and things should start getting better.

Because come this November, we’re going to sweep a whole lot of those liars and traitors out of there!

Up in Maine, – which is pretty liberal, – their Gay Marriage question was defeated, – making it 31 for 31 in every state which had the courage to trust their voters.

In the NY 23rd – with final numbers still not in,  Democrat Owens appears to have won a narrow victory over Conservative Hoffman, – and he can thank Ditsy RiNO Dede, who in a show of pique betrayed the GOP.

We can thank Dede Scuzzybag too, – for making it crystal clear that RiNOs are really Liberals first,  and “Republican” only out of situational convenience at best.   Just as Obama wrote that ‘he will side with the Muslims’, –  these RiNOs will side with George Soros.

I can hardly wait for the White House Spinmongers to step forth and try to convince their ever dwindling audience that somehow “Tuesday’s votes didn’t really matter“.  I wonder how the Blue Dog Democrats in the House are feeling this morning?  I bet Nancy Pelosi will be going for more Botox shots soon.

Rep Bachmann (R)MN

Meanwhile over the weekend rising Republican star Rep. Michele Bachmann from Minnesota’s 6th District has called a “Town Hall Meeting” on the steps of the Capitol for high noon Thursday.  Once again the 9/12ers and the TEA Party Patriots are answering the call.  They’re going by the busload!  It should be quite a show.  Maybe since it will be a work day, – just ~ maybe ~ the MSM will cover it?  You think?

I’m thinking that Ms. Bachman is looking like a real ass-kicker, and I wouldn’t mind seeing her on the 2012 ticket.

Oh,  if you haven’t been paying attention,  or you think Obama’s efforts to devalue our US$ and bankrupt the country are going unnoticed around the world just because our MSM and newspapers are ignoring the story, – think again!  Yesterday India swapped 6.7 BILLION US$ for 200 tons of gold – driving the price up to $1,090.90 per troy ounce, up 2.6% for the day.  Their finance minister said simply, “we have the reserves of dollars,  and the US picture isn’t looking too good”.   If Obama & Crooks are allowed to continue, the day will be upon us when other nations will refuse US$ in trade.   Obama is playing to a world audience which gleefully awaits the day when our nation is broke, bankrupt, and unable to influence world events – or even our own destiny.

So the 2010 Mid-Term Election Season began last night even as the votes were being counted. A massive sea-change next November is the ONLY thing which can save our Young Republic from the destruction being wrought by our domestic enemies – the ones in the White House and Congress.  Republicans, these next twelve months are our Valley Forge, our Saratoga, and our Yorktown. We must win these battles, – or live out our days under socialist rule.

Back on August 23^rd, when The Messiah used a midnight text message to announce his pick of the Senate’s Village Idiot – Senator Joe “Lyin’ Lips” Biden – as his running mate,  I knew exactly what was happening. 

First, the puppet masters wanted an old white guy – with white hair – to reassure any remaining white voters.  Among liberals, Biden was viewed as a foreign policy expert, despite decades of being totally wrong on issue after issue.  See, appearances matter far more to liberals than do facts. 

Second, – they wanted essentially an empty vessel, – someone who would bring no issues, agendas, causes, or crusades of their own.  They could not have found an emptier vessel had they gone to the Delaware Psychiatric Center (DPC) at New Castle.  By taking “Go-along Joe”, they would lose no real Democratic clout in the Senate, and they’d have an almost totally malleable fool.  And a disposable / expendable one at that!

To those who follow the news, – it was instantly clear that OBummer and his puppet-masters hadn’t burnt any calories fretting over what kind of president their pick might make in the event he suddenly might need to be sworn in.  Biden has always been considered such a flyweight that the press generally ignores him.  The OBummer campaign undoubtedly considered that a big plus.

The real power in Delaware – the many big corporations which claim it as home – had always known Biden as an extremely affordable servant, who for only nominal coin would do their legislative bidding.

Adding Biden to the ticket brought a small unexpected bonus.  Joe had been repeatedly escaped close scrutiny and been re-elected to the Senate largely on the sympathy vote.  His first wife Neilia and infant daughter Naomi were killed in a traffic accident in December 1972, and Joe has skated through thirty-six years of political blunders and financial shenanigans by constantly evoking the memory of his dead family.  In the final months of the 2008 campaign it now served to deflect close scrutiny from Obama’s past.

And so it came to pass that Joe fulfilled his first critical assignment, – that of lending a mainstream American veneer to the Kenyan Usurper.  Central Casting couldn’t have come up with a more perfectly coifed and costumed buffoon.

But since being sworn in, “Lovable Joe” has committed one goof after another.  Yesterday he was brazen enough to actually ridicule OBummer’s need for teleprompters.  So there just aren’t enough isolated Third World countries to send Joe to – to keep him away from TV cameras and microphones.  Somehow he’ll have to be neutered or silenced.  But how?

There are three time-honored ways to eliminate a political liability.  They can die.  Clinton fundraiser and Commerce Secretary Ron Brown was being investigated when his plane crashed in Bosnia.  So many Clinton cronies died that it was called Arkancide.  They can resign for health reasons.  They get a dinner and a plaque, and they go home to recover, – and to never write their memoirs.  Or they can have tax and ethics scandals, and resign “so as not to distract from the noble work of this administration”, – as did VP Spiro Agnew in 1973. 

So pick a method, and just toss “Lovable Joe” under the OBummer bus.  Easy, right?

Err, – not so fast.  Unlike Agnew, “Lovable Joe” won’t go easily, – and certainly not quietly!  That’s precisely why he’s in trouble in the first place. So two of the elimination methods are fraught with risk.  Once Joe starts talking, the press is sure to pick up the thread.  Plane crash?  Gee, – two Democrat administrations in a row?  What are the odds? 

Of course the real conundrum is the replacement VP issue.  We can well imagine that OBummer would prefer to operate minus the inconvenient baggage of a vice president tagging along demanding to be included in meetings and secrets.  After all, who to pick that would not distract from HIS personal glory?  I can easily imagine Hillary and Pelosi and even Kerry going at each other’s throats for the spot.  [Aah, let me enjoy that image for a moment!]  But very few would be comfortable with Pelosi suddenly second in line.  Shudder!  Across Washington the jousting and elbowing for position would make a British soccer stadium look like an art gallery.

After watching OBummer burn through trillions of dollars in just weeks, – a Veep vacancy would be just the thing for the GOP to use to slow our slide into Socialism.  The Republicans in the Senate would bring everything to a grinding halt – with the filibuster of course – until The Messiah named a replacement Veep, – and they would insist on a conservative Democrat.  That is a very short list anymore.

Meanwhile, – whatever happens to eliminate Biden, – you can be sure that the once co-conspiratorial press will suddenly awaken from its journalistic coma and come alive.  Hordes of reporters wearing rediscovered journalistic righteousness will scurry across the land from Virginia to the Delaware Memorial Bridge to dig up all those carefully buried Biden-Obama stories.  Their quest will be for the scoop, the Pulitzer, and the movie script.  And all too soon, the return of the Special Prosecutor!  Hey, newspapers might start selling again. 

So OBummer’s Conundrum is to either keep putting up with Motor-Mouth Joe, – or find a way to silence and eliminate him without providing the very thread which will unravel his presidency.  Given OBummer’s noted successes thus far with the Taliban, Iran, Pakistan, North Korea, Russia, and Venezuela, this should be a relatively easy one.  Stay tuned!
