.... Would you please sit down and shut up you old fool!

Yup. Think about this one for a moment. You're a young black man or woman, you're finishing up your education and hope to have a career in politics. Along comes Barack Obama and you're just elated! The barrier has been broken and a black man is now President of the United States! Your path is clear!

But wait! In the early months of Obama's presidency his inexperience starts to show. He fails on several big fronts: Health care, cap-and-trade and the union card-check bill. He tries to convince the American people that he can provide health care to 30+ million Americans who are now uninsured ... and that he can do it with fewer doctors and nurses while spending less than we're spending right now ... and all this without every denying anyone the health care they may need. The American people don't buy it.

Let's see .. what else. Where do we start? He negotiates an automobile bailout plan that favors unions at the expense of secured investors. He appoints a serial tax cheat to run the Treasury Department. He starts a trade war with China. He tells our European allies that they're on their own when it comes to defense against incoming ballistic missiles .. and on and on and on.

So .. as Obama's incompetence becomes more evident; as his anti-capitalistic philosophy fleshes out before our eyes; and his lies see the light of day ... the criticisms start coming in. How do the liberals respond! Predictably, that's how. Everyone who criticizes the president is simply a racist! They just don't like a black man in the white house!

Now .. just how does this hurt future political aspirants? How does it hurt you? You already understand, don't you? The majority of voters out there are still white ... and unless you're going to be content being a mayor or city councilman in a city or district with a majority black voting base, you're going to need some votes from the white side. You know that many white voters are feeling a little shell shocked right now. Many of them voted for Obama. They thought the time had come when our country was going to move beyond race! Wouldn't that have been wonderful? But in light of recent events they think that they might have made a mistake. They did what they thought was right and certainly politically correct, and suddenly they're racists because they have voiced some disagreements with Obama policies?

So .. what happens when you try to run for office? The voters out there looking at you may have no personal problem with you at all. But there's this lingering fear ... a fear born of the likes of Jimmy Carter, James Clyburn, Maureen Dowd, Howard Dean, Newsweek Magazine, The New York Times and others ... the fear that if these voters ever find it necessary to question or to object to something you do in office, they're going to be branded racists. Who, after all, is going to want to put you in office if your skin color makes you politically bulletproof? So .. they plan to play it safe from now on. Vote for whites. At least when they screw up you can go after them without putting on a white robe and cone hat.

The race baiters aren't doing you any favors. But you knew that, didn't you?

Yesterday Max Baucus released details of his healthcare bill. The summary alone was 223 pages. I'll bet that Jamie Dupree got very little sleep last night, combing through the sucker. But to give you a quick overview, here's how the Congressional Budget Office summaries the bill:

Among other things, the Chairman's proposal would establish a mandate for most legal residents of the United States to obtain health insurance; set up insurance "exchanges" through which certain individuals and families could receive federal subsidies to substantially reduce the cost of purchasing that coverage; significantly expand eligibility for Medicaid; substantially reduce the growth of Medicare's payment rates for most services (relative to the growth rates projected under current law); impose an excise tax on insurance plans with relatively high premiums; and make various other changes to the Medicaid and Medicare programs and the federal tax code.

The Wall Street Journal has some more details on this $856 billion healthcare boondoggle.

The people of California should be spanked for continuing to re-elect Maxine Waters to the Congress. This woman is truly a reflection of what I like to call the dumb masses. She's a notorious race pimp, so this whole uproar about racism probably sends tingles up her leg. She is just itching to jump into the conversation.

So here's what she had to add to this countries dialogue on race.

Maxine Waters believes that the media should investigate the racial views of conservative activists, like people who attend tea party rallies. She believes that it is not enough for African-Americans ... or as us non politically correct people like to say, "blacks" ... it is not enough for blacks to cry racism against these people. What we really need to do is use the media to expose their racist bias.

Here is how it went in her own words: "I want those people talked to; I want them interviewed ... I want journalists to be all over those rallies and the marches with the birthers and the teabaggers ... I think it's not enough for African-Americans to say what they think, what they suspect ... I think that if you put the microphones in front of them, if you do the interviews, they'll tell you what they believe, what they think."

By the way, do you think it is fair to lump birthers and tea party protesters in the same category? Because that seems to be the norm for Democrats lately. I would hope there would be a giant difference between people who are fed up with the size of our imperial federal government and the moonbats who believe that Barack Obama was born in Kenya.

Okay, the GOP seems to be in a tizzy over the number of czars in the Obama administration. Six Republicans have written a letter to the White House saying, "The creation of 'czars,' particularly within the Executive Office of the President, circumvents the constitutionally established process of 'advise and consent,' [and] greatly diminishes the ability of Congress to conduct oversight and hold officials accountable." The letter asks for information about their authority, qualifications and transparency. It also asked that the Obama administration stop from creating any new czar positions.

So the White House is on the offensive. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said that the GOP "silence was deafening" on the issue of czars during the Bush administration. Well ... maybe because when Bush appointed a czar, he didn't really consider him to be a czar in the "Czar Nicholas" sense.

This is the favorite tactic of the left. When in doubt, just say "Well Bush did it!"

Bush, did in fact have czars during his administration. In fact, the whole concept of czars goes back to Ronald Reagan with the Drug Czar. President Clinton had 3 czars during his administration. George W. Bush had 4 czars. But Barack Obama has how many ... 16 ... 18 czars .. and counting?

Assuming that the healthcare debate would overshadow this piece of news, the Obama administration came to a startling conclusion about its cap-and-trade plan. It has concluded that this cap-and-tax scheme ... which has NOTHING to do with global warming ... would cost taxpayers $200 billion a year.

Read that again: this bill would cost you, the taxpayers, $200 billion a year.

That breaks down to an additional cost per American household of $1,761 a year.

That is the equivalent of raising personal income taxes by 15% (for the producers who actually pay income taxes).


Are you prepared to shoulder the burden to pay for this ponzi scheme?

Or, at least this one is.

The White House addressed Jimmy Carter's remarks directly, saying that the president does not believe his opposition is based on skin color.

Oh ... you just gotta read this National Review editorial about Jimmy Peanut. You'll find words like "banal," and "cynical," and the wonderful phrase "incessant moral preening."

The Baucus plan? The Wall Street Journal says it's just "public option lite"

The White House is also getting involved in Massachusetts politics ... urging constituents to demand that the laws be changed so that the governor can appoint a replacement for Ted Kennedy.

Here's some information that would show you the stimulus plan just didn't work. The ObamaBots will surely tell you otherwise.

If the Democrats get their government healthcare, 45% of doctors say they would consider quitting.

I mentioned this during the Government Outrage portion of the program yesterday ... the Heritage Foundation estimates that Obama's policies would spend $10.3 trillion on welfare programs over the next decade.

The government has officially raised fuel efficiency standards to 35.5 mpg by 2016.

Another government entitlement program that may become permanent?

A union is considered to be "one of the pillars of the ACORN family." Doesn't surprise me one bit.

What is this? An Obama lava lamp?

Oh, you're just going to love this. States with more conservative religious beliefs have higher rates of teen pregnancy. As Fark says, "Oh God, Oh God, Oh God"

Card Check dead? Perhaps not. It may be back, and worse than ever.

Speaking of ACORN .. it says that it is going to reform. Are you buying that?

Here's a little reminder: ACORN was a creation of the Community Reinvestment Act. In other words .. the government.

The White House is really having to strategize as to how to handle the current conservative criticisms.

Where do we stand on our housing situation in this country? I'll tell you one thing ... more government is now in the picture.

The House is considering spending more of your tax dollars on expanding government-led research into how to make cars more fuel-efficient.

Michelle Malkin points out Obama's new euphemism for his "czars" ...

The White House is apparently collecting and storing comments and videos placed on its social-networking.

First the polar bear was placed on the endangered species list because of global warming. Now we must protect the Arctic Reindeer!
