Uh Oh

Obama Faces Criticism From Left

In the view of his critics on the left, Obama--once rated the most liberal member of the Senate--is reinventing himself as a pragmatic moderate as he prepares to take office and is making what some liberals see as foolish decisions in an effort to broaden his appeal.

These critics reacted sharply when he selected a gay-marriage opponent, the Rev. Rick Warren of Saddleback Church, to give the invocation at the inauguration. One of the milder rebukes came from Kathryn Kolbert, president of the liberal group People for the American Way, who expressed "grave disappointment" over the president-elect's choice.

So what happens when Obama faces criticism from the right too?

Something tells me that the right wingers won't have a Nancy Pelosi "impeachment is off the table" problem unlike the lefty leader certainly has had.

Does Obama really know what the HELL he is doing, because I think, so farObama is looking and acting pretty stupid, particulary with the choice of choice of Rick Warren. Obama has no problem trashing MoveOn.org people but wants to court the Ralph Reed and convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff Christian groupies? I mean, WTF?

Marc Rich By Any Other Name would still be...

Oh gosh, Bush doesn't do one better that Clinton's Marc Rich pardon, it actually looks worse.

...a Brooklyn, N.Y., man, Isaac Robert Toussie, received the legal equivalent of a lump of coal.

Toussie, convicted of making false statements to the Housing and Urban Development Department and of mail fraud, was among 19 people pardoned Tuesday.

But after learning in news reports that Toussie's father had donated tens of thousands of dollars to the Republican Party a few months ago, as well as other information, the White House issued an extraordinary statement Wednesday saying the president was reversing his decision on Toussie's case.

It's like I've always said, loyality to Bush is a one-way street. Unless one happens to be a oilman, donating to the Repug party is really a dead end deal. It probably all ended up in Sarah Palin’s Neiman Marcus wardrobe anyway, which is the only store the benefited handsomely during the oil party reign this dismal Christmas season, at least for everyone else out there not evolved in big oil looting and pillaging of our national treasury.

What Bush Nearly Got for Christmas

HO, HO, HO!

Merry Shoemas, Mr. Bush!

Who Knew Chevrolet Had a Hybrid Malibu?

GM certainly didn't advertise that fact that it manufactured any hybrid vehicles, unlike the way Ford advertised it's Ford Escape hybrid, I mean, what would big oil say, if consumers knew about GM's hybrids????

The fact is GM and Chrysler very nearly bought the farm kissing big oil ass. All I ever saw on TV of late are those Hummer commercials as GM seems to be only interested in marketing to the Gilded few left among us.

From Bloomberg:

Dec. 20 (Bloomberg) -- General Motors Corp. Chief Executive Officer Richard Wagoner was in the front seat of a (hybrid) Chevrolet Malibu on Dec. 3, hungry on his way to Washington from Detroit to save his company.

And this:

While Ford Motor Co. said it doesn’t need immediate assistance, Bush had decided he wouldn’t be the president who let GM and Chrysler go bankrupt.

It was never the labor unions, nope, it's was CEO Wagoner and a bunch of Big Oil love'n Board members complete with a stupid non-working money pit called the Chevy Volt.


BTW, Bloomberg also has this tidbit:

The turning point came Dec. 10, as White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten and Vicej President Dick Cheney met with Senate Republicans over salmon and rotisserie chicken in the Capitol’s Mansfield Room to argue for approval of $14 billion in loans to GM and Chrysler set to pass the House.

Within an hour and a half of their 12:50 p.m. arrival, Corker told reporters that Cheney and Bolton’s presentation was “non-compelling.”

Oh, I see how it is, Congressmen Corker was munching on Salmon and Rotisserie, (and you bet it was at taxpayer funded expense too,) AND lets us not forget that during Dubya's Gilded reign during the last eight years, congress voted itself FOUR raises, most of which time was totally under Republican control. Boy, Congressman Corker doesn't sacrifice a thing during these hard times for US citizens, does he?

Somebody gave Dubya an Ultimatum

Because little Bush sure did change his tune in a hurry, didn't he? Dubya is no longer the huffy little ingrate sitting in the company of AEI snobs.

So thanks Obama, (I had know idea what threat Obama used but it work, so all is well that ends well).

White House to bail out GM and Chrysler - MSNBC

President Bush approved more than $17 billion in emergency loans Friday, saying he had no choice to save jobs and prevent the recession from getting worse

The Bushie Portrait

Bush whacked by shoe, (if only the shoe had found it's target), but, none the less, Bushie will be remember by how much people dislike him and have every right to dislike him. Take your good-bye kiss and go home Bushie.

Heckuva Job Bushie

Once again Bushie is on vacation.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Chrysler LLC announced late Wednesday that it is stopping all vehicle production in the United States for at least a month.

All 30 of the carmaker's plants will close after the last shift on Friday, and employees will not be asked to return to work before Jan. 19.

While Bush enjoys his taxpayer funded pay check and warm, comfy holiday season in the tax funded Whitehouse, Bushie doesn't let himself be bothered with out-of-work automakers. This Christmas, Chrysler Autoworkers will be at local state employment office by Monday, the 22nd, filing for workers compensation because Bush is simply too busy drinking his alcoholic laced eggnog and handing out the tax funded $ 700 billion bailout to his campaign contributors, but out-of-work automakers can't get the time of day from Dubya.

UPDATE: Bush is so nasty on so many levels. This is WHY Pelosi NEEDED TO IMPEACH his royal highness.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush expressed concern on Thursday that a disorderly bankruptcy in the auto industry could be "very destabilizing" and said he was looking for concessions from labor unions and others in deciding on aid to automakers.

The un-bid contract making, law breaking Blackwater loving Preznut who give like no tomorrow in his slush fund corporate campaigns spend of $ 700 billion taxpayer money, won't be happy till he fucks over the average American auto workers too. It's like those slugs that Bush gave the parents of dead military members saying "don't sell it on ebay?"

This is why I really wish the Iraq shoe throwing press member had not missed his target.
