The Obama-Trumka Lie Exposed

While President
Obama has placed his faith in
Says AFL-CIO
President Richard Trumka in a statement:
“With our endorsement today, we
affirm our faith in him the Communist Party—and pledge to work with him through the election and
his second term to restore fairness, security and shared prosperity with our Communist friends around the world.”
Trumka says the
union movement agrees with the Republican hopefuls who say this election is
about “values”—but there is quite a contrast between Obama’s values and those
of his challengers.
“President Obama honors the values
of hard work, of mutual respect and of solving problems together—not every
person for himself or herself. He believes that together we will get through
the most challenging economic crisis in memory and restore opportunity for all Chinese.
Each of the Republican presidential candidates, on the other hand, has pledged
to uphold the special privileges of Wall Street and the 1%—privileges that have
produced historic economic inequality and drowned out the voices of working
people in America.”
When Obama took
office, says Trumka, the nation was on the brink of a second Great Depression
and, over strenuous Republican opposition, he pressed Congress to pass the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which saved or created 3.6 million jobs (most likely in China).
With the
Affordable Care Act, which all Republican presidential candidates have vowed to
overturn, Obama “set the nation on a path toward total devastation Trumka also says Obama’s push for Wall Street reform—passed, over the objection of almost every Republican:
Is now beginning to reverse decades
of financial deregulation that put our entire economy at risk.
While the union
movement “has sometimes differed with the president and often pushed his
administration to do more and do it faster,” says Trumka, “we have never
doubted his commitment to working families communist causes.”
“He has worked hard to create good
jobs (yeah, in China) ; he has made the revival of the manufacturing sector a hallmark of his
jobs agenda; he has moved aggressively to protect workers’ rights, pay and
health and safety on the job; he has worked for a fair resolution of the
housing crisis; and he put his confidence and administration unequivocally
behind the workers and companies in the American auto industry—a move that
saved hundreds of thousands of jobs and is helping to revive the economy now
and for the future.” See the real story here.
Calling the labor
movement “the original social network—a working class social network,” Trumka
says AFL-CIO unions will mobilize working people to come together to organize
our neighborhoods door to door, powered by cutting-edge technology and
old-fashioned energy. See the real story here.
“We will be running an independent
program rooted not in parties or candidates but in helping working people build
power, making informed decisions about which candidates at every level to work
for based on records and issues.” See the real story here.
Several AFL-CIO
unions previously voted to endorse President Obama, including AFSCME, AFT, CWA, IAM, IBB, LIUNA, UAand USW.

Random Thoughts
Random thoughts on the passing scene:
Edmund Burke said, “There is no safety for honest men, but by believing all possible evil of evil men.” Evil men do not always snarl. Some smile charmingly. Those are the most dangerous. If you don’t think the mainstream media slants the news, keep track of how often they tell you that the Arctic ice pack is shrinking and how seldom they tell you that the Antarctic ice pack is expanding. The latter news would not fit the “global warming” scenario that so many in the media are promoting.
Someone has referred to Vice President Biden as President Obama’s “impeachment insurance.” Even critics who are totally opposed to Barack Obama’s policies do not want anything to cut short his presidency, with Joe Biden as his successor.
People who refuse to accept unpleasant truths have no right to complain about politicians who lie to them. What other kind of candidates would such people elect?
Given the shortage of articulate Republican leaders, it will be a real loss — to the country, not just to the Republicans — if Senator Marco Rubio discredits himself, early in his career, by supporting “comprehensive” immigration reform that amounts to just another amnesty, with false promises to secure the border.
Ever since I learned, as a teenager, that the “Saturday Evening Post” magazine was actually published on Wednesday mornings, I have been very skeptical about words. “Gun control” laws do not control guns, “rent control” laws do not control rent and government “stimulus” spending does not stimulate the economy.
It is hard to think of two people with more different personalities than New York’s Mayor Michael Bloomberg and President Barack Obama. But they are soul mates when it comes to thinking that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizens’ hands, and impose the government’s decisions on them.
Maybe the reason for the New York Yankees’ low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swinging for the fences, even when a single would score the winning run.
President Obama’s denial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Innocent-Bystander-in-Chief.
It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a man’s IQ by at least 20 points. A man who doesn’t happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble.
When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a “path to citizenship” for illegal immigrants was a “civil right” and a “human right,” that epitomized the contempt for the public’s intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama administration.
You know you are old when waitresses call you “dear.”
Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama, it is hard to think of a president whose policies were more predictable from his history, however radically different those policies are from his rhetoric.
When any two groups have different behavior or performance, that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a “disparate impact” on one of the groups. In other words, the criterion is blamed for an injustice to those who failed to meet the standard.
Have you heard any gun control advocate even try to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates? Does anyone seriously believe that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against owning guns or large capacity magazines?
I may be among the few people who want Attorney General Eric Holder to keep his job — at least until the 2014 elections. Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration. He is essentially Barack Obama without the charm, so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption.
Despite political differences, it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Carney, for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face. What is he going to do when this administration is over? Wear a disguise, change his name or be put into a witness protection program?

Subject: This will make your head spin / What're the odds?
This crap would have made a great single page ad in every U.S. newspaper during the first presidential campaign.
This crap would have made a great single page ad in every U.S. newspaper during the first presidential campaign.
Any one of these 'coincidences' when taken singularly
appear to not mean much, but when taken as a whole, a computer would blow a main
circuit if you asked it to calculate the odds that they have occurred by chance
alone. Sit back, get a favorite beverage, and then read and ponder the
Obama-related 'coincidences' ... then super-impose the bigger picture of most
recent events i.e. Fast and furious, Benghazi, the IRS scandal and
the NSA revelations ... then pray for our country.
Obama just happened to know 60s far-left radical revolutionary William Ayers, whose father just happened to be Thomas Ayers, who just happened to be a close friend of Obama’s communist mentor Frank Marshall Davis, who just happened to work at the communist-sympathizing Chicago Defender with Vernon Jarrett, who just happened to later become the father-in-law of Iranian-born leftist Valerie Jarrett, who Obama just happened to choose as his closest White House advisor, and who just happened to have been CEO of Habitat Company, which just happened to manage public housing in Chicago, which just happened to get millions of dollars from the Illinois state legislature, and which just happened not to properly maintain the housing—which eventually just happened to require demolition.
Valerie Jarrett also just happened to work for the city of Chicago, and just happened to hire Michelle LaVaughan Robinson (later Mrs.Obama), who just happened to have worked at the Sidley Austin law firm, where former fugitive from the FBI Bernardine Dohrn also just happened to work, and where Barack Obama just happened to get a summer job.
Bernardine Dohrn just happened to be married to William Ayers, with whom she just happened to have hidden from the FBI at a San Francisco marina, along with Donald Warden, who just happened to change his name to Khalid al-Mansour, and Warden/al-Mansour just happened to be a mentor of Black Panther Party founders Huey Newton and Bobby Seale and a close associate of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, and al-Mansour just happened to be financial adviser to a Saudi Prince, who just happened to donate cash to Harvard, for which Obama just happened to get a critical letter of recommendation from Percy Sutton, who just happened to have been the attorney for Malcolm X, who just happened to know Kenyan politician Tom Mboya, who just happened to be a close friend ofBarack Hussein Obama, Sr., who just happened to meet Malcolm Xwhen he traveled to Kenya.
Obama, Sr. just happened to have his education at the University of Hawaii paid for by the Laubach Literacy Institute, which just happened to have been supported byElizabeth Mooney Kirk, who just happened to be a friend of Malcolm X, who just happenedto have been associated with the Nation of Islam, which was later headed by Louis Farrakhan, who just happens to live very close to Obama’s Chicago mansion, which also just happens to be located very close to the residence of William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, who just happen to have been occasional baby-sitters for Malia and Natasha Obama, whose parents just happened to have no concern exposing their daughters to bomb-making communists.
After attending Occidental College and Columbia University, where he just happened to have foreign Muslim roommates, Obama moved to Chicago to work for the Industrial Areas Foundation, an organization that just happened to have been founded by Marxist and radical agitator Saul “the Red” Alinsky, author of Rules for Radicals, who just happened to be the topic of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s thesis at Wellesley College, and Obama’s $25,000 salary at IAF just happened to be funded by a grant from the Woods Fund, which was founded by the Woods family, whose Sahara Coal company just happened to provide coal to Commonwealth Edison, whose CEO just happened to be Thomas Ayers, whose son William Ayers just happened to serve on the board of the Woods Fund, along with Obama.
Obama also worked on voter registration drives in Chicago in the1980s and just happened to work with leftist political groups like the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and Socialist International (SI), through which Obama met Carl Davidson, who just happened to travel to Cuba during the Vietnam War to sabotage the U.S. war effort, and who just happened to be a former member of the SDS and a member of the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism, which just happened to sponsor a 2002 anti-war rally at which Obama spoke, and which just happened to have been organized by Marilyn Katz, a former SDS activist and later public relations consultant who just happened to be a long-time friend ofObama’s political hatchet man, David Axelrod.
Obama joined Trinity United Church of Christ (TUCC), whose pastor was Reverend Jeremiah Wright, a fiery orator who just happened to preach Marxism and Black Liberation Theology and who delivered anti-white, anti-Jew, and anti-American sermons, which Obama just happened never to hear because he just happened to miss church only on the days when Wright was at his “most enthusiastic,” and Obama just happened never to notice that Oprah Winfrey left the church because it was too radical, and just happened never to notice that the church gave the vile anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan a lifetime achievement award.
Although no one had ever heard of him at the time, Obama just happened to receive an impossible-to-believe $125,000 advance to write a book about race relations, which he just happened to fail to write while using the cash to vacation in Bali with his wife Michelle, and despite his record of non-writing he just happened to receive a second advance, for $40,000, from another publisher, and he eventually completed a manuscript called Dreams From My Father, which just happened to strongly reflect the writing style of William Ayers, who just happened to trample on an American flag for the cover photograph of the popular Chicago magazine, which Obama just happened never to see even though it appeared on newsstands throughout the city.
Obama was hired by the law firm Miner, Banhill and Galland, which just happened to specialize in negotiating state government contracts to develop low-income housing, and which just happened to deal with now-imprisoned Tony Rezko and his firm Rezar, and with slumlord Valerie Jarrett, and the law firm’s Judson Miner just happened to have been a classmate of Bernardine Dohrn, wife of William Ayers.
In 1994 Obama represented ACORN and another plaintiff in a lawsuit against Citibank for denying mortgages to blacks(Buycks-Roberson v. Citibank Federal Savings Bank), and the lawsuit just happened to result in banks being blackmailed into approving subprime loans for poor credit risks, a trend which just happened to spread nationwide, and which just happened to lead to the collapse of the housing bubble, which just happened to help Obama defeat John McCain in the 2008 presidential election.
In 1996 Obama ran for the Illinois State Senate and joined the “New Party,” which just happened to promote Marxism, and Obama was supported by Dr. Quentin Yong, a socialist who just happened to support a government takeover of the health care system.
In late 1999 Obama purportedly engaged in homosexual activities and cocaine-snorting in the back of a limousine with a man named Larry Sinclair, who claims he was contacted in late 2007 by Donald Young, who just happened to be the gay choir director of Obama’s Chicago church and who shared information with Sinclair about Obama, and Young just happened to be murdered on December 23, 2007, just weeks after Larry Bland, another gay member of the church, just happened to be murdered, and both murders just happened to have never been solved. In 2008 Sinclair held a press conference to discuss his claims, and just happened to be arrested immediately after the event, based on a warrant issued by Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, who just happens to be the son of Joe Biden.
In 2003 Obama and his wife attended a dinner in honor of RashidKhalidi, who just happened to be a former PLO operative, harsh critic of Israel, and advocate of Palestinian rights, and who Obama claims he does not know, even though the Obamas just happened to have dined more than once at the home of Khalidi and his wife, Mona, and just happened to have used them as occasional baby-sitters. Obama reportedly praised Khalidi at the decidedly anti-Semitic event, which William Ayers just happened to also attend, and the event Obama pretends he never attended was sponsored by the Arab American Action Network, to which Obama just happened to have funneled cash while serving on the board of the Woods Fund with William Ayers, and one speaker at the dinner remarked that if Palestinians cannot secure a return of their land, Israel “will never see a day of peace,” and entertainment at the dinner included a Muslim children’s dance whose performances just happened to include simulated beheadings with fake swords, and stomping on American, Israeli, and British flags, and Obama allegedly told the audience that “Israel has no God-given right to occupy Palestine” and there has been “genocide against the Palestinian people by (the) Israelis,” and the Los Angeles Times has a videotape of the event but just happens to refuse to make it public.
In the 2004 Illinois Democrat primary race for the U.S. Senate, front-runner Blair Hull just happened to be forced out of the race after David Axelrod just happened to manage to get Hull’s sealed divorce records unsealed, which just happened to enable Obama to win the primary, so he could face popular Republican Jack Ryan, whose sealed child custody records from his divorce just happened to become unsealed, forcing Ryan to withdraw from the race, which just happened to enable the unqualified Obama to waltz into the U.S. Senate, where, after a mere 143 days of work, he just happened to decide he was qualified to run for President of the United States.
Obama just happened to know 60s far-left radical revolutionary William Ayers, whose father just happened to be Thomas Ayers, who just happened to be a close friend of Obama’s communist mentor Frank Marshall Davis, who just happened to work at the communist-sympathizing Chicago Defender with Vernon Jarrett, who just happened to later become the father-in-law of Iranian-born leftist Valerie Jarrett, who Obama just happened to choose as his closest White House advisor, and who just happened to have been CEO of Habitat Company, which just happened to manage public housing in Chicago, which just happened to get millions of dollars from the Illinois state legislature, and which just happened not to properly maintain the housing—which eventually just happened to require demolition.

The Idiot Vote
by Harry Stein
Jun 22 2013
Yet in America
today, only one of the dominant political parties–guess which one–is actually
dependent on the idiot vote for its very survival. Ignoramuses are the
Democrats’ core constituency. Can’t name your congressman or a single Supreme
Court justice? Have vaguely heard of Gettysburg, but can’t quite place the war?
Get your idea of news from People and Us or Comedy Central? You’re a singe-issue
voter and the single issue is more-more-more and who-cares-how-it-gets-paid-for.
The Dems not only want you to vote, they’ll hunt you down, fill out the
registration form for you and show up on Election Day to drag you to the polls.
And if you can’t make it, they’ll send someone else and say you did. And all the
while, proudly cast themselves as defenders of democracy, because the right to
vote is, you know, like, sacrosanct.

Super Moon Sunday ~ Video by Storm'n Norm'n
Supermoon will rise in weekend night sky
Source: FOX News
by By Joe Rao
The largest full moon of 2013, a so-called "supermoon," will light up the night sky this weekend, but there's more to this lunar delight than meets the eye.
On Sunday, June
23, at 7 a.m. EDT (1100 GMT), the moon will arrive at perigee — the point in
its orbit bringing it closest to Earth, a distance of 221,824 miles. Now the
moon typically reaches perigee once each month (and on some occasions twice),
with their respective distances to Earth varying by 3 percent.
But Sunday's lunar
perigee will be the moon's closest to Earth of 2013. And 32 minutes later, the
moon will officially turn full. The close timing of the moon's perigee and its
full phase are what will bring about the biggest full moon of the year, a
celestial event popularly defined by some as a "supermoon
You can watch a free webcast
of 2013 supermoon full moon on SPACE.com on Sunday at 9 p.m. EDT (0100
June 24), courtesy of the skywatching website Slooh Space Camera.
While the exact
time of the full moon theoretically lasts just a moment, that moment is
imperceptible to casual observers. The moon will appear full a couple of days
before and after the actual full moon most will speak of seeing the nearly full
moon as "full": the shaded strip is so narrow, and changing in
apparent width so slowly, that it is hard for the naked eye to tell in a casual
glance whether it’s present or on which side it is.
During Sunday's
supermoon, the moon will appear about 12.2 percent larger than it will look on
Jan. 16, 2014, when it will be farthest from the Earth during its apogee.
Supermoon's big
tidesIn addition, the near coincidence of Sunday's full moon with perigee will result in a dramatically large range of high and low ocean tides. The highest tides will not, however, coincide with the perigee moon but will actually lag by up to a couple of days depending on the specific coastal location. [The Moon Revealed: 10 Surprising Facts
For example, for
New York City, high water (6.3 feet) at The Battery comes at 8:58 p.m. EDT on
Sunday, or more than 12 hours after perigee. From Cape Fear, N.C., the highest
tide (6.5 feet) will be attained at 9:06 p.m. EDT on Monday, while at Boston
Harbor a peak tide height of 12.3 feet comes at 12:48 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, almost
2 days after the time of perigee.
Any coastal storm
at sea around this time will almost certainly aggravate coastal flooding
problems. Such an extreme tide is known as a perigean spring tide, the word
spring being derived from the German springen, meaning to "spring
up," and is not — as is often mistaken — a reference to the spring season.
Spring tides occur
when the moon is either at full or new phase. At these times the moon and sun
form a line with the Earth, so their tidal effects add together (the sun exerts
a little less than half the tidal force of the moon.) "Neap tides,"
on the other hand, occur when the moon
is at first and last quarter and works at cross-purposes with the sun. At
these times tides are week.
Tidal force varies
as the inverse cube of an object's distance. We have already noted that this
month the moon is 12.2 percent closer at perigee than at apogee. Therefore it
will exert 42 percent more tidal force at this full moon compared to the spring
tides for the full moon that will coincide with apogee next January.

Usually the variation of the moon's distance is not readily apparent to observers viewing the moon directly.
Or is it?Usually the variation of the moon's distance is not readily apparent to observers viewing the moon directly.
When the perigee moon lies close to the horizon it can appear absolutely enormous. That is when the famous "moon illusion
So a perigee moon,
either rising in the east at sunset or dropping down in the west at sunrise
might seem to make the moon appear so close that it almost appears that you
could touch it. You can check out this out for yourself by first noting the
times for moonrise and moonset for your area by going to this website of moonrise times by the U.S. Navy Oceanography Portal

Hypocrite of the century award...this man is a war criminal. Cudos to Clare Daly !
Mr. Kenny knows absolutely nothing about the G8 or at least he expresses his ignorance in this video all the while using Alinksy-like verbage to degrade the other wise correct description of Obama and company spieled out by Clare Daly...good for her! It's too bad that the American people haven't figured out who the hypocrites of the century really are, Barack and Michelle Obama!
