Obama's Sequestration plan works to perfection

Keith Edwards

Anyone who is up in arms about Obama being the Bully-in-Chief and having their heart strings pulled because one of his White House toadies threatened a couple of liberal media types need to get your heads out of your rears!

We're talking about second term full-on hyper socialist agenda mode for team Obama. And what just took place at 12:00am this morning was the lynch pin in Obama's plan to cover up his crashing of the economy by successfully blaming sequestration and the pending economic catastrophe on the Republican Party.

With people like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity falling all over themselves to call out Barack the bully and all his toadies for doing what they've been doing for the past four years is just amazing to watch. It seems as if all the so called "leaders" of the conservative movement are just as "low information" as the 51percenters who voted Obama in for a second term.

Sequestration is nothing compared to what Obama has already set in motion for our economy. Every government accounting office and the majority of leading economists have been saying for the last several years that our economic trajectory is unsustainable and if left unchecked, America will eventually go the way of Greece. And nothing has changed!

When the Obama Administration Goes After a Journalist for Reporting the Truth

Sally Zelikovsky

Bob Woodward isn't the first journalist to be thrown under the proverbial bus by the Obama Administration. Back in April 2011, veteran San Francisco Chronicle journalist Carla Marinucci, was banned from the presidential press pool in San Francisco, a beat she'd been covering without incident for some time.

Her sin? Recording a group of leftwing hecklers who spontaneously sang a bizarre song (related to the Bradly Manning Wikileaks incident) in protest against Obama at a fundraiser in San Francisco -- a somewhat embarrassing moment for the president who was visibly caught off guard once he realized they weren't singing his praises. Carla, a veritable Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen all in one, videotaped the song and posted it on her "Shaky Hands" blog at SFGate. That video can be viewed here.

In a Pravda-like effort, the Politburo at 1600 Penn Ave sought to excise this stunt from popular view by banning Ms. Marinucci from the pool, demanding that the video not be posted and promising retaliation if its threats were made public. In a series of exchanges reminiscent of the Woodward episode, "key people" at the White House denied removing Ms. Marinucci from the press pool or threatening the Chronicle with retaliation. Inexperienced novice reporters might have been intimidated by such strong arm tactics -- further chilling the speech they supposedly covet -- but Ms. Marinucci and her editors, Phil Bronstein and Ward Bushee, were undaunted as they exposed the Administration a la Bob Woodward.
