Image you go into a store to decide whether to buy solar panels for your home. You look at all the models available, listen to the salesman's pitch and decide not to buy one. But before you leave you must pay the store a tax for not buying one. Crazy? Rediculous? Insane? Preposterous? Outrageous? Well, welcome to the ObamaNation.

After 2014, if you do not purchase qualifying health insurance, you will be forced to pay a "penalty," which the Obama administration is now arguing before the courts that this is actually a "tax" and since Congress has the constitutional authority to levy taxes as it chooses under the commerce clause, the tax is completely constitutional. Okay democrats, you may think you have the constitutional power to tax us not to buy something, but we do have the power to kick you sons-of-bitches out of office in November and make sure you idiots stay out of power until your great grand-children grow up. Then we'll let your great grand-children decide whether or not to let you and your destructive liberal policies back in power.

Government Motors just went subprime. That's right. They are about to spend 3.5 billion dollars of our money to purchase subprime lender AmeriCredit Corp. How wonderful.

"This helps GM finance less-than-perfect-credit buyers and God knows there’s plenty of them today with economic conditions as they are..." No kidding. Just when you thought the subprime lending was all over, as Ronald Reagan once described the Democrats, "well, there they go again." :S

"Adding AmeriCredit to our team will improve our competitiveness in auto financing offerings," Whitacre said in a statement. (For those of you who don't remember, Whitacre is GM's chief executive idiot that said in a TV commercial that GM paid back all of the money it owed the government.)

Unfortunately, there is as of this date no vaccine available for Obamacare. However, the Brits have discovered what looks like a very promising cure:
"Practical details of the plan are still sketchy. But its aim is clear: to shift control of England’s $160 billion annual health budget from a centralized bureaucracy to doctors at the local level...The plan would also shrink the bureaucratic apparatus..." The Brits have admitted: "The current architecture of the health system has developed piecemeal, involves duplication and is unwieldy. Liberating [i.e. diminishing] the N.H.S., and putting power in the hands of patients and clinicians, means we will be able to effect a radical simplification, and remove layers of management." Hmmm, letting doctors and patients control their own health care. What a novel idea!

I know, they are a dime a dozen. Liberals never want to do with their own money what they demand of others, others who often own or make far less than they do. Another case-in-point: Senator John Kerry, who has voted to raise taxes every chance he got, and then took advantage to avoid paying taxes whenever he could:

But the real teaching moment of this story is this: you pass a confiscatory tax on your own people, they will often vote with their feet. That includes big businesses, which the Demcrats are trying real hard to tax corporations to the point where they will simply take their business overseas, along with their jobs.

From an Australian news release, President Hussein Obama told Scotland that a compassionate release of Abdel Baset al-Megrahi (the Lockerbee Bomber) was preferable to a Libyan jail. "Compassionate release?" Just how much compassion did this Abdel Baset al-Megrahi have in his heart when he blew that passenger airliner to smitherines and all its passengers with it?

"The document, acquired by a well-placed US source, threatens to undermine US President Barack Obama's claim last week that all Americans were "surprised, disappointed and angry" to learn of Megrahi's release...The note added: "Nevertheless, if Scottish authorities come to the conclusion that Megrahi must be released from Scottish custody, the US position is that conditional release on compassionate grounds would be a far preferable alternative to prisoner transfer, which we strongly oppose." "

Nice to know we have such a compassionate president. He feels our pain. :S

...during the Obama administration, turns out he was funneling billions of our tax dollars overseas. The "Sachs" hit the fan last Friday. No wonder Timmy "Tax Cheat" Geithner didn't want to disclose where our TARP money was going to!
"Goldman Sachs sent $4.3 billion in federal tax money to 32 entities, including many overseas banks, hedge funds and pensions, according to information made public Friday night."

It will be interesting to learn what countries these pensions are in that we so knowingly and willingly out of the goodness of our unemployed hearts gave money to.

Senator Chuck Grassley, R-Ia: "We thought originally we were bailing out AIG. Then later on ... we learned that the money flowed through AIG to a few big banks, and now we know that the money went from these few big banks to dozens of financial institutions all around the world."

Just in case these dozens of financial institutions around the world don't say "Thank you, Obama," I'll say it for you. Thank you Obama. :S

"AIG received the bailout of $85 billion at the discretion of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which was led at the time by Timothy Geithner. He now is U.S. treasury secretary." Wow! So Timmy the Tax Cheat runs AIG below the ground, then Obama gives him $85 Bil of our money and puts him in charge of it! Now that's what I call political incest!

"An attempt to reach Geithner Friday night through the White House public information office was unsuccessful." NO KIDDING!

Barak Hussein Obama talks about Mongrel-Americans on an ABC morning talk show.
Obama said of African-Americans: "We are sort of a mongrel people...I mean we're all kinds of mixed up," Obama said.

Awfull lot of Mongrel-Americans in professional basketball.

President Barak H Obama used Leslie Macko as a prop during his speech on unemployment extension July 19th:
"We need to extend unemployment compensation benefits for women like Leslie Macko, who lost her job at a fitness center last year, and has been looking for work ever since. Because she's eligible for only a few more weeks of unemployment, she's doing what she never thought she'd have to do. Not at this point, anyway. She's turning to her father for financial support," Obama said in his speech.

There's only one problem. Minor details, actually. In June of 2007, Macko was charged with grand larceny. The charge was reduced in court to petit larceny, and she was sentenced to two years probation.... and ... in April 2009, a month after being found guilty of prescription drug fraud, she lost her job as an aesthetician in the spa at ACAC."

Now, does anyone here believe that the Secret Service didn't know, that this woman wasn't vetted for her appearance next to the president of the US? If so I got some lottery tickets I'd like to sell you. Million dollar winners, guaranteed! Yeah, I'd say Leslie Macko fits right in with the kind of distinguished, hard working down-on-their-luck American that Obama likes to help with someone else's money. 8O

From the Dailymail UK

The Obama administration faced an embarrassing diplomatic blunder today after it was forced to pull a warning about racism in Spain...Staff at [Obama's] U.S. State Department removed the contentious advice to travellers, which included the [racist] phrase 'racist prejudices could lead to the arrest of Afro-Americans who travel to Spain,' on Monday.
