The trouble is finding a lesbian blogger who isn’t a stand-up guy.

A question for Tiny Tim Geithner

Zero Hedge wonders if Tiny Tim has invented some new math:

We have a quick question for the Treasury Secretary: according to today's DTS, as of close yesterday, the Treasury had $14.274 trillion in debt subject to the ceiling of $14.294 trillion, or a $20 billion "buffer." To the best of our knowledge there were no redemptions today, and certainly none in the non-Bill pipeline this week. So, uh, how exactly did Tim Geithner auction off $32 billion today? (and plans to auction off another $40 billion tomorrow and Thursday).

Probably another Turbo Tax bug, eh Timmy? Or perhaps, it's just the way the Obama junta deals with all inconvenient laws like the national debt limit - they ignore them.

Barack Obama still too busy to visit North Carolina tornado victims

Obama the narcissistic buffoon

Even when John Heilemann tries to write an Obama puff piece at New York magazine he can't help revealing some mighty dirty laundry:

... he rarely consulted outside the tiny charmed circle surrounding him in the White House. “What you had was really three or four people running the entire government,” says the former White House strategist. “I thought they put a pretty good Cabinet together, but most of those guys might as well be in the witness-protection program.”

A funny line, no doubt, but an overstatement, surely? Well, maybe not. “I happen to know most of the Cabinet pretty well, and I get together with them individually for lunch,” says one of the most respected Democratic bigwigs in Washington. “I’ve had half a dozen Cabinet members say that in the first two years, they never had one call—not one call—from the president.”

I would suggest that the tiny charmed circle runs the government while Obama spends his time on his hobbies.

The president’s friend and adviser Valerie Jarrett sometimes pointed out that not only had he never managed an operation, he’d never really had a nine-to-five job in his life. Obama didn’t know what he didn’t know, yet his self-confidence was so stratospheric that once, in the context of thinking about Emanuel’s replacement, he remarked in all seriousness, “You know, I’d make a good chief of staff.”

Those overhearing the comment somehow managed to suppress their laughter.

Barack Obama is a legend in his own mind.

Hu Jintao does Washington - the video

This visit of Chicom honcho Hu Jintao to Washington DC is comedy gold. Only Barack Obama would think it clever to put on a big party for the bill collector. On the other hand, Hu may take pity on us if Michelle shows up in another of her thrift shop explosion dresses.

Astroturfing the Obama Massacre Pep Rally

I guess Barack Obama's handlers were afraid that they wouldn't get enough wildly cheering fans at last Wednesday's Massacre Pep Rally despite holding it in the basketball stadium on the University of Arizona campus and giving out free t-shirts.

So what better way to get their kind of crowd than by some astroturfing and arranging to bus in Obama supporters like those from Chicano Unidos Arizona? (According to Chicanos Unidos's web site the mailing address for the national organization is in Califas, Aztlan, so you know what planet they are from.)

While the Phoenix Public Library broadcast last night’s historic ‘Together We Thrive’ event, several members of Chicanos Unidos Arizona were bussed in from Phoenix to Tuscan for the event and here are the reports:

Aldemar Suarez: “Last night’s event was historic. The unity was amazing, until Jan Brewer took the stage. Then, there were people booing. But when Barack Obama spoke, the audience listened. He is a true American hero."

Hmm, mighty tasty Kool-Aid, but it begs the question of who thought to invite these clowns, how many were bused in, and who paid for it. As for why, we all know that, but here's another clue:

George Gonzales: “I was escorted from the back of the hall to the front by security, who told me there were a few empty seats that needed to be filled. I sat pretty close to Daniel Hernandez and Michelle Obama. It was an evening I will never forget.”

I wonder if George liked being used for yet another Obama diversity photo-op? 

Update: About those t-shirts - the University of Arizona says that "The school paid for the event, including $60,000 for 20,000 T-shirts bearing the words "Together We Thrive," which were handed out for free. The money will not come student tuition, fees or tax dollars." So who paid for them? Obama's campaign organization Organizing for America who had already been using the slogan?

The onerous burden of Obamacare doesn't apply to Obama's pals

Obamacare: A Uniquely Vicious Form of Corruption

If you haven't already seen it, don't miss Karl Rove's column in today's Wall Street Journal. Rove explains the vicious strategy at the heart of Obamacare: pass terrible legislation, and then collect a toll by exempting your friends--those who pay you lots of money--from that legislation, while your enemies have to live with it. We have had various forms of corruption over the years, but I don't believe we have had, within memory, anything quite this disgusting. The worst malefactor here, besides President Obama himself, is AARP...

Everyone expects the union goons to get payoffs from Obama, but it's nice to see the AARP revealed for the sleazy hustlers they actually are. The AARP is really an insurance marketing operation disguised as an old folks lobby and since they supported Obamacare, their marketing machine got exempted from a whole variety of Obamacare restrictions. Think of it as a protection racket organized by Obama and the Democrats.
