Obama Legacy

War and Peace

One of the things that has made me the most angry during the past 8+ years is the way Obama and the media have treated our troops.

During the 2008 campaign, they paraded dead soldiers’ photos, publicly consoled Gold Star moms, elevated Cindy Sheehan to saint status, and castigated President Bush for being a blood-thirsty cowboy who sent our troops into harm’s way to line his own pockets.

When was the last time you saw any Democrat weeping crocodile tears over dead soldiers?  Trust me … it’s NOT because Obama ended war like he swore he would do.  It’s because Democrat wars are A-OK with the Left.  Peace and soldiers’ lives only matter when they can be used as clubs to beat up Republicans.

Disturbingly Unqualified

Word is out that P-E Trump will nominate Dr. Ben Carson for the cabinet position of Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.

The ever watchful Nancy Pelosi honked:  “Our country deserves a HUD Secretary with the relevant experience. Dr. Carson is a disturbingly unqualified choice. Dec 5, 2016″

Where was Fancy Nancy when Obama nominated San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro for HUDSEC?

According to Politico, HUD awarded San Antonio $8.6 million in 2008 as part of the national Neighborhood Stabilization Program.  On Mayor Castro’s watch, San Antonio failed to properly spend funds.

• Two and a half million in renovation contracts were awarded without a competitive bidding, a typical scam politicians use to line the pockets of their campaign contributors and cronies.
• Another $1.1 million was used to acquire and fix up properties that, oopsies, never went toward housing lower-income families as required by HUD.

Oh well.  As one tweeter noted, “Corruption is a resume enhancer for Democrats.”

It seems that honesty, integrity, brilliance, and a good work ethic are detractors for Republicans.  Plus, you know,

Dictator-Sympathizing QB Colin Kaepernick Finishes Game With More Sacks Than Passing Yards
On a snowy, windy day at Chicago’s Soldier Field, the America-hating racist punk Colin Kaepernik had a real bad, no-good, totally icky day thanks to the Bears Defense, led by nose tackle Eddie Goldman,(6’4′ and 325#) and defensive end Akiem Hicks (6’7″ and 340#) who knocked him on his ass 5 times.
Big Labor threw tons of cash at Democrats, but workers voted red
Big Labor pumped $530 million of workers’ dues into mostly Democratic Party groups and liberal causes over a four-year period — with dismal results, according to a new analysis.
A total of $260.4 million went to 45 different party or Democratic leaning groups, including the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, Democratic Attorneys General Association, the Working Families Party, the Center for American Progress and Planned Parenthood.
More than $21.5 million went to left-leaning civil rights groups including Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow PUSH Coalition, National Council of La Raza and the NAACP.

Pelosi: Dems don’t want ‘new direction’

House minority leader Nancy Pelosi downplayed problems with the Democratic Party, saying that the party’s values “unify us.”
“I don’t think that people want a new direction,” Pelosi said on CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday. “Our values are supporting working families. What we want is a better connection of our message to working families.”


Keith Ellison: Perfect for the DNC
His Muslim Brotherhood ties and venomous anti-Israel stance make him the living embodiment of today’s Democratic Party.
THEY.JUST.DON’T.GET.IT.
Hosting the event at his Virginia home was Esam Omeish, a former leader of the Muslim American Society (MAS). (Ellison has ties to MAS also: in 2008, he accepted $13,350 from MAS to go on a pilgrimage to Mecca. The Muslim American Society is a Muslim Brotherhood organization

Trump Could Appoint Someone Totally Unexpected To Head EPA
Pick me… I’m available.
First, roll EPA standards back to 1990.
Open new areas for energy exploration,including ANWAR.
Cut off subsidies to solar and windmill businesses.Either they make it on their own or they don’t.
Approve the XL pipeline.
Do away with cafe standards, special fuel blends, and for Heaven’s sake, get rid of ethanol.

While media reports indicate the president-elect has narrowed the field down to two candidates, a new name is on the lips of some on Trump’s transition team: Dr. Donald van der Vaart.
Van der Vaart is a PhD chemical engineer who currently heads the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality. If appointed and approved by Congress, Van der Vaart would be the first PhD scientist to head EPA. He also holds a law degree.

Dick Cheney To CNN Reporter: Trump Took Us To Point Where We Don’t Need You Guys Anymore
Vice President Dick Cheney landed a major zinger on a CNN reporter this weekend. He was at an event with Obama’s former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. They were talking with CNN reporter Barbara Starr about national security and foreign policy.
Cheney had a few really funny lines but the one about the press was hysterical.
think one of the reasons people get so concerned about the tweets is it is sort of a way around the press. He doesn’t have to rely upon, uh, rely upon — this is the modern era, modern technology. He’s at the point where we don’t need you guys anymore.

Obama Jokes With The Eagles At Kennedy Center Honors Reception

Clinging to the tattered remains of his pathetic legacy, Ol’ Barry had to insert himself into the Kennedy Center Honors reception last night to hobknob with Al Pacino, James Taylor, and the surviving members of The Eagles, who sold more albums in the 20th century than anybody. The best of The Eagles (c’mon,you know you had it) went platinum 37 times over. Singer/drummer Don Henly, bassist Timothy B. Schmitt, and guitarist Joe Walsh attended last night. Fellow Detroit native Bob Seger paid tribute to the late Glenn Frey, who died suddenly earlier this year.
