More Than A Dozen Shot In Chicago Overnight
7 Victims In One Attack; Total Of 15 Hurt Over Four Hours
Gun Grabbers like Obama have spoken out against the DC vs Heller case which determined that the DC ban on handguns was illegal.
Obama (who is against the Heller ruling) states, "As a general principle, I believe that the Constitution confers an individual right to bear arms. But just because you have an individual right does not mean that the state or local government can’t constrain the exercise of that right, in the same way that we have a right to private property but local governments can establish zoning ordinances that determine how you can use it."
Chicago still has an unconstitutional handgun ban in effect. "Some municipalities, most notably Chicago, require that all firearms be registered with the local police department.[72] Chicago does not allow the registration of handguns, which has the effect of outlawing their possession, unless they were grandfathered in by being registered before April 16, 1982.[73][74] The Chicago suburb of Oak Park also has banned handguns,[75] and Highland Park bars handgun possession unless the resident has obtained a permit from the police."
Gun control laws only affect the law abiding citizens. So why would strict gun control laws (to put it in Obama's words) "make sure that criminals don’t have guns in their hands."

Pissing of the Jews...
Ok... so let's continue to add to the list of people Barack has pissed off in just 6 months. How does Barack manage to continue to alienate and offend our ALLIES!
What do you think was going to happen Barack? You suck up to Iran and the Iranians mock you. You suck up to Hugo and the Venezuelans mock you. You kiss up to North Korea and they lob missiles over Japan.
In just 1 week he's pissed off the cops, white people and now the Jews... way to keep stereotyping yourself Barack.
Democrat Conyers Sees No Point in Members Reading 1,000-Page Health Care Bill
Democrat Conyers Sees No Point in Members Reading 1,000-Page Health Care Bill
(CNSNews.com) - During his speech at a National Press Club luncheon, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Democratic Congressman John Conyers (D-Mich.), questioned the point of lawmakers reading the health care bill.
“I love these members, they get up and say, ‘Read the bill,’” said Conyers.
“What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?”
Update:
911 caller says she did NOT cite race in call!
Gates 911 caller says she didn’t cite race
The woman whose report of a possible house break-in led to the arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. said she never mentioned race during her 911 call.
The woman, identified in a police report on file in Cambridge District Court as 40-year-old Lucia Whalen, saw the backs of both men and did not know their race when she called 911, said Wendy J. Murphy, a Boston lawyer from New England School of Law. Whalen phoned police, Murphy said, because she was aware of recent break-ins in the area.
In an interview at police headquarters last night, Haas said “it was very clear that she wasn’t sure’’ what the men’s race was. He also said that when the dispatcher questioned Whalen for more details, she told police she could only guess about the race of the two men. “She speculated . . . that one might be Hispanic.’’

Health care is is literally 'retard'
Do we need any further evidence that NO ONE has read Barack Obama's health care bill? It actually refers to the "MENTALLY RETARDED". That term hasn't been used in 30 years and is universally regarded as offensive.
Let's not forget that back in March Obama compared his bowling skills to the Special Olympics. What's this guy got against 'rah-tards'??
The term "mental retardation" has itself now acquired some pejorative and shameful connotations over the last few decades due to the use of "retarded" as an insult. This may in turn have contributed to its replacement with expressions such as "mentally challenged" or "intellectual disability". While "developmental disability" may be considered to subsume other disorders (see below), "developmental disability" or "developmental delay" (for children under age 18), are generally considered more acceptable terms than "mental retardation" among members of the disability community.

CBO deals new blow to health plan
For the second time this month, congressional budget analysts have dealt a blow to the Democrat's health reform efforts, this time by saying a plan touted by the WhiteHouseas crucial to paying for the bill would actually save almost no money over 10 years.
The Congressional Budget Officesaid the proposal to give an independent panel the power to keep Medicare spending in check would only save about $2 billion over 10 years- a drop in the bucket compared to the bill's $1 trillion price tag.
------ Awesome, spend a trillion save $2billion! ----- -
"The President said that rising health care costs are an imminent threat to our economy and that any reform must reduce these long-term costs. But CBO has made clear once again that the Democrats' bills in Congress aren't reducing costs and in fact could just make the problem worse," said Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell.
Saturday's CBO analysis caps a tough week of blown deadlines, partisan bickering and fierce intra-party fighting among Democrats. On Friday, the tension between the Blue Dogs and Waxman exploded when Waxman threatened to bypass his committee and bring the reform bill straight to the House floor without a vote. The move infuriated Blue Dogs who have used their crucial committee votes to leverage changes to the bill.

BLACK POLICEMAN: I WAS THERE, GATES ACTED STRANGELY, SUPPORTS ARREST '100%'...
BLACK POLICEMAN: I WAS THERE, GATES ACTED STRANGELY, SUPPORTS ARREST '100%'...
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — A black police officer who was at Henry Louis Gates Jr.'s home when the black Harvard scholar was arrested says he fully supports how his white fellow officer handled the situation.
Sgt. Leon Lashley says Gates was probably tired and surprised when Sgt. James Crowley demanded identification from him as officers investigated a report of a burglary. Lashley says Gates' reaction to Crowley was "a little bit stranger than it should have been."
Asked if Gates should have been arrested, Lashley said supported Crowley "100 percent."

Commentary: Obama's rush to judgment on police
And a semi-apology from Obama:
PresidentBarack Obama said on Friday he should have chosen his words more carefully when he said police "acted stupidly" in arresting a prominent black Harvard scholar, touching off a debate over race.
Obama made his comments after talking on the telephone to Sgt. James Crowley, the Cambridge, Massachusetts, police officer who made the arrest, and discussing inviting Crowley and Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates to the White House for a beer.
"Because this has been ratcheting up and I obviously helped to contribute ratcheting it up, I wanted to make clear in my choice of words I think I unfortunately gave an impression that I was maligning the Cambridge Police Department or Sgt. Crowley specifically," Obama said. "And I could have calibrated those words differently."
Racial Pimpin'
I couldn't have said this any better myself.
Amen for DesireG.
Prof Gates is straight up 'racial pimmpin'.
6 months wasted...

What Obama should have said...
What Obama DID say: "I don't know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played in that. I think it's fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry; number two, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home, and, number three, what I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there's a long history in this country of African Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately."
What he should have said: "This was an unfortunate incident that happened to a friend of mine, I do not have all the facts and I cannot comment on this at this time... next question."
Obama prefaced his comments by saying he wasn't there and didn't have the facts.... and then listed 3 points on why the police were 'stupid', Gates had a right to be angry, and finally he chastises the entire country.
This is fvcking bvllshit. He is not uniting anyone, he is divisive.
All he did was give minorities a reason to cry racism for any negative thing that happens to them.
Update: The Cambridge and area police unions voiced their support Friday for Sgt. James Crowley and demanded an apology from President Obama for saying officers "acted stupidly" for arresting black Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. at his home.
"His remarks were obviously misdirected but made it worse yet by suggesting somehow this case should remind us of a history of racial abuse by law enforcement," Dennis O'Connor, president of the Cambridge Police Superior Officers Association, said at a news conference.
"Whatever may be the history, we deeply resent the implications and reject any suggestion that in this case or any other case that they've allowed a person's race to direct their activities. However we hope they will reflect upon their past comments and apologize to the men and women of the Cambridge Police Department."
Obama's remarks sparked outrage among many police officers who say the criticism could make it harder for police to work with people of color and set back the progress of race relations that helped Obama become the nation's first black president.

We gotcha Barack, loud and clear, people acting stupidly are not in fact stupid. So eloquent, so retard.
At least when Bush said something stupid you knew he meant it.
Update: Obama: "I have to say I am surprised by the controversy surrounding my statement,because I think it was a pretty straightforward commentary that you probably don't need to handcuff a guy, a middle-aged man who uses a cane, who's in his own home," Obama said.

The reality... James Crowley's official police report
OBAMA SAYS COPS ACTED 'STUPIDLY'
I think Barack needs to get his facts straight before condemning the police
James Crowley's police report:
...When I arrived at Ware Street I radioed ECC and asked that they have the caller meet me at the front door to this residence. I was told that the caller was already outside. As I was getting this information, I climbed the porch stairs toward the front door. As [reached the door, a female voice called out to me. I looked in the direction of the voice and observed a white female, later identified {} who was standing on the sidewalk in front of the residence, held a wireless telephone in her hand arid told me that it was she who called. She went on to tell me that she observed what appeared to be two black males with backpacks on the porch of• Ware Street. She told me that her suspicions were aroused when she observed one of the men wedging his shoulder into the door as if he was trying to force entry. Since I was the only police officer on location and had my back to the front door as I spoke with her, I asked that she wait for other responding officers while I investigated further.
As I turned and faced the door, I could see an older black male standing in the foyer of {} Ware Street. I made this observation through the glass paned front door. As I stood in plain view of this man, later identified as Gates, I asked if he would step out onto the porch and speak with me. He replied “no I will not”. He then demanded to know who I was. I told him that I was “Sgt. Crowley from the Cambridge Police” and that I was “investigating a report of a break in progress” at the residence. While I was making this statement, Gates opened the front door and exclaimed “why, because I’m a black man in America?”. I then asked Gates if there was anyone else in the residence. While yelling, he told me that it was none of my business and accused me of being a racist police officer. I assured Gates that I was responding to a citizen’s call to the Cambridge Police and that the caller was outside as we spoke. Gates seemed to ignore me and picked up a cordless telephone and dialed an unknown telephone number. As he did so, I radioed on channel I that I was off in the residence with someone who appeared to be a resident but very uncooperative. I then overheard Gates asking the person on the other end of his telephone call to “get the chief’ and “whats the chiefs name?’. Gates was telling the person on the other end of the call that he was dealing with a racist police officer in his home. Gates then turned to me and told me that I had no idea who I was “messing” with and that I had not heard the last of it. While I was led to believe that Gates was lawfully in the residence, I was quite surprised and confused with the behavior he exhibited toward me. I asked Gates to provide me with photo identification so that I could verify that he resided at Ware Street and so that I could radio my findings to ECC. Gates initially refused, demanding that I show him identification but then did supply me with a Harvard University identification card. Upon learning that Gates was affiliated with Harvard, I radioed and requested the presence of the Harvard University Police.
With the Harvard University identification in hand, I radioed my findings to ECC on channel two and prepared to leave. Gates again asked for my name which I began to provide. Gates began to yell over my spoken words by accusing me of being a racist police officer and leveling threats that he wasn’t someone to mess with. At some point during this exchange, I became aware that Off. Carlos Figueroa was standing behind me. When Gates asked a third time for my name, I explained to him that I had provided it at his request two separate times. Gates continued to yell at me. I told Gates that I was leaving his residence and that if he had any other questions regarding the matter, I would speak with him outside of the residence.
As I began walking through the foyer toward the front door, I could hear Gates agai,n demanding my name. I again told Gates that I would speak with him outside. My reason for wanting to leave the residence was that Gates was yelling very loud and the acoustics of the kitchen and foyer were making it difficult for me to transmit pertinent information to ECC or other responding units. His reply was “ya, I’ll speak with your mama outside”. When I left the residence, I noted that there were several Cambridge and Harvard University police officers assembled on the sidewalk in front of the residence. Additionally, the caller, md at least seven unidentified passers-by were looking in the direction of Gates, who had followed me outside of the residence.
As I descended the stairs to the sidewalk, Gates continued to yell at me, accusing me of racial bias and continued to tell me that I had not heard the last of him. Due to the tumultuous manner Gates had exhibited in his residence as well as his continued tumultuous behavior outside the residence, in view of the public, I warned Gates that he was becoming disorderly. Gates ignored my warning and continued to yell, which drew the attention of both the police officers and citizens, who appeared surprised and alarmed by Gates’s outburst. For a second time I warned Gates to calm down while I withdrew my department issued handcuffs from their carrying case. Gates again ignored my warning and continued to yell at me. It was at this time that I informed Gates that he was under arrest. I then stepped up the stairs, onto the porch and attempted to place handcuffs on Gates. Gates initially resisted my attempt to handcuff him, yelling that he was “disabled” and would fall without his cane. After the handcuffs were property applied, Gates complained that they were too tight. I ordered Off. Ivey, who was among the responding officers, to handcuff Gates with his arms in front of him for his comfort while I secured a cane for Gates from within the residence. I then asked Gates if he would like an officer to take possession of his house key and secure his front door, which he left wide open. Gates told me that the door was un securable due to a previous break attempt at the residence. Shortly thereafter, a Harvard University maintenance person arrived on scene and appeared familiar with Gates. I asked Gates if he was comfortable with this Harvard University maintenance person securing his residence. He told me that he was.

Holy Race Card
http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/07/22/gates.arrest.reaction/index.html
Gates was arrested last Thursday in broad daylight at his Cambridge, Massachusetts, home for disorderly conduct -- what the arresting officer described as "loud and tumultuous behavior in a public space." The charge was dropped Tuesday on the recommendation of police, and the city of Cambridge issued a statement calling the incident "regrettable and unfortunate."
Gates had just returned from a trip to China when a police officer responded to a call about a potential break-in at his home that was phoned in by a white woman. According to the police report, Gates was in the foyer when the officer arrived.
The officer asked Gates to "step out onto the porch and speak with me," the report says. "[Gates] replied, 'No, I will not.' He then demanded to know who I was. I told him that I was 'Sgt. Crowley from the Cambridge Police' and that I was 'investigating a report of a break in progress' at the residence.
"While I was making this statement, Gates opened the front door and exclaimed, 'Why, because I'm a black man in America?' "
According to the report, Gates initially refused to show the officer his identification, instead asking for the officer's ID. But Gates eventually did show the officer his identification that included his home address.
I don't care what color you are. If the cops want to see your ID. Show them your ID! You should be glad that they're responding to a call for your house. Usually they have better things to do.
I've gotten out of so many speeding tickets by being respectful to the cops.
This works: "I'm sorry officer. I didn't realize that I was speeding."
This does not work: "Speeding!? What!? Because I'm an Asian driver!? Oh no you didn't!"
Bizaaro Barack

"A Democrat congressman last week told me after a conversation with the president that the president had trouble in the House of Representatives, and it wasn't going to pass if there weren't some changes made ... and the president says, 'You're going to destroy my presidency.' "

"We saved the economy" - Rahm
White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel told The New York Times Obama intends to use the news conference as a "six-month report card," to talk about "how we rescued the economy from the worst recession" and the legislative agenda moving forward, including health care and energy legislation
Wow, hubris anyone? Hyperbole?
Last I checked this is the worst recession since the Great Depression and unemployment is continuing to go up and the housing market is still in the crapper.
Even if things were getting bettter (which they are not), but even if they were do you honestly expect people to believe that you saved the economy in less than 6 months on the job?? hahaha nice one Rahm!

Pot calling the kettle black
With his own Democrats divided and Republicans determined to kill off legislation before the congressional recess next month, Mr Obama said the country could not afford to continue with a healthcare system that everyone agreed was not working. “But I also think that it’s very easy to scare people that it’s going to get even worse,” he told NBC’s Today show.
Is Barack telling people that he has scared that they are playing scare tactics?

Obama says F-22 vote "would have been an inexcusable waste of money"
The Senate voted Tuesday to block expansion of one of the country's most controversial and expensive defense programs, the F-22 fighter jet program.
The vote, which stripped $1.75 billion for an additional seven F-22s from the fiscal year 2010 budget, was a reversal of an earlier Senate committee decision to include money for the program.
1,750,000,000 / 1,840,000,000,000 = 0.000951086957
1 - 0.000951086957 = .999
Now we only need to make up the other 99.9% of this year's deficit.
I'm so glad that our government is against inexcusably wasting money.
What is he hiding?
Caught off-guard by the severity of the economic situation it inherited, the administration has badly underestimated how much unemployment would rise even with its $787 billion economic stimulus plan in place. Those missed projections have led some critics to question the credibility of the administration's economic forecasts and given pause to legislators considering sweeping proposals such as health care reform and cap-and-trade legislation that Obama calls essential to future economic growth and stability.
Monday, July 20, 2009
The reality...
The reality does not match the promises. The predictions do not add up based on the current reality. The stimulus has not lived up to its billing and the economy is worse than predicted, therefore you cannot continue to bend the numbers to support the spending.
"The administration has projected that the annual deficit for the current budget year will hit $1.84 trillion, four times the size of last year's deficit of $455 billion. Private forecasters suggest that shortfall may actually top $2 trillion"
4 times larger than Bush and his egregious Iraq spending.

Sotomayor supports the second amendment?
From the Commie News Network: "...she supports the Second Amendment right to bear arms."
"I have friends who hunt" and "understand fully" the Second Amendment right identified in the ruling District of Columbia v. Heller, she said. The recent 5-4 Supreme Court ruling concluded that a sweeping handgun ban in the nation's capital violated Americans' constitutional right to "keep and bear arms."
Liar!
From USNews:
This year, Sotomayor concurred with a ruling in a case, Maloney v. Cuomo, brought by a New York man who said that a ban on a martial arts weapon constituted an infringement on his right to keep and bear arms. Sotomayor disagreed, noting that states have the authority to regulate weapons under federal law, despite an earlier ruling from the Supreme Court that struck down a handgun ban in the District of Columbia.
You can't say that you support the second amendment, when you believe that the states can override our second amendment rights.
There are worse gun rights judges out there, but she's definitely not good. I haven't heard about any NRA rating for her yet. We'll have to see what they say.

I just read the whole article in the print addition, pretty much sums everything I've been saying about California.
Kia comes to Georgia
From CNN:
2 things to note:
- Town hits economic jackpot to become 'Kia-ville' - I love how they call it a "jack pot", as if it just happened by chance. I suppose it has nothing to do with labor laws, tax policy, tax incentive, real-estate costs.... oh yeah, it was a "jack pot" that we "hit". Come on CNN, give Georgia a little credit here.
- No mention of Obama - Can some one tell me why $800billion dollars in Obama-stimulus was not needed to create 20,000 jobs??
NEWSWEEK: Why Barack Obama represents American Catholics better than the pope does...
NEWSWEEK: Why Barack Obama represents American Catholics better than the pope does...
Really?!? This piece of propaganda is the worst type of pseudo-journalism I've read in a while.
When Obama meets the pope tomorrow, they'll politely disagree about reproductive freedoms and homosexuality, but Catholics back home won't care, because they know Obama's on their side. In fact, Obama's agenda is closer to their views than even the pope's.
Chairman Obama is on YOUR side fighting for you! The leader is better than the pope, neh he IS the Pope!
Honestly this article is comparing Obama to the Pope. I guess since we've all heard him compared to Jesus so much that we might as well compare him to the Pope. That has got to be insulting to Catholics. Some journalist speaking on behalf of all American Catholics making the assumption that the are better represented by Obama than the leader of their faith who speaks to God. Wow.
This whole article is based on the premise that because the Catholic church doesnt support homosexuality and is pro-life that Obama somehow better represents Catholics because Catholics in America are marginally pro-life and pro-gay.
This article is making grand assumptions based on a few percentage points on 2 issues.
Grandstanding? Sensationalism? Yellow journalism? Fox News? .... nope Newsweek! In the tank for Obama, duh.
Finally what does an article like this hope to achieve? Geee you know I was loyal to the Pope, but now I feel ike Obama better represents me, I'm going to worship Obama! O-ba-ma, Oh-ba-ma!!
And people wonder why opponents of Barack say there is a cult of personality or a Messiah complex around him.
