.... that due to the amazing --- dare I say ASTOUNDING --- success of The Community Organizer in handling the job of our nation's chief executive, executive search firms around the country are combing the 'hoods for undiscovered community organizers! Corporations are eager to hire them to mirror the incredible success of The Chosen One!

When in trouble ... appease the people by playing into their wealth envy. Right now, the liberals are upset with Obama and the Democrats for not being liberal ENOUGH. Republicans are upset about the impending government takeover of healthcare. But if there is one issue on which the two spheres may ... and that's a big "may" ... overlap, it is the issue of wealth envy. And so it has been since the dawn of civilized man. Thousands of years ago nomadic camel herders harbored seething envy over individuals or tribes with more stuff than they had. As you know, in ObamaLand everyone should have an equal amount of stuff.

So after weeks of focusing and floundering on healthcare and global warming; and ignoring the needs of our troops in Afghanistan, suddenly we get this announcement from Washington: we are going to cut top executive pay at the biggest corporations that took bailout money. Of course many Americans are now rejoicing! "Great! These evil rich people are getting exactly what they deserve!"

Then, the very next day we see the White House pulling away from bearing any reasonability on the issue. Officials in the administration say that they didn't have much to do with the decision at all. It all came from one man: Kenneth Feinberg. The Pay Czar. This Obama appointee (without any sort of Congressional approval), single-handedly decided to cut CEO pay for these executives. Is Obama going to take responsibility for ANYTHING that comes out of his White House?

So now the question is ... how far will this go? Just the other day, Obama also announced plans to increase lending to small businesses and give them access to rescue funds. Will Kenneth Feinberg eventually have the "authority" to slash salaries of top executives at these small businesses that take bailout funds?

Let's take a closer look at this Kenneth Feinberg fellow ... how did he come to have so much "authority" that he is able to cut salaries at private corporations in this country? If you'll remember months ago, Congress decided that it wanted to crack down on millions of dollars in AIG bonuses. There was only one slight, teeny-tiny little problem - Congress does not have the Constitutional authority to do so. Maybe you've heard of a little something called the "Bill of Attainder"? This basically limits Congress from passing legislation that would single out or punish specific people or groups (or companies).

Then magically, Obama creates a new czar in his administration. This man would be a "special master on compensation." Ta-da! Now if the government wants to punish certain companies, all it has to do is call on its compensation czar.

Pretty clever, huh? And we're supposed to think that The Community Organizer is oblivious to all of this.

Let's say that you have invested a pant-load of money in some business. The business is failing. You want it to succeed. You want the best executive talent you can find to step in and save the business ... and your investment. Now just how helpful do you think it would be if you told the search committee looking for a new CEO that you were going to appoint some political hack to make sure that the new boss doesn't make too much money? Can you see that any extraordinarily qualified candidate for the job would tell you to take it and shove it where even the TSA couldn't find it?

Do you ever sit around and just wonder at the type of idiots we have running the show right now?

The day after our special master on compensation decided to slash executive pay, the Obama administration decided that it would be a good idea to clamp down on banks while we are at it. The Federal Reserve decided to curb executive pay packages "that encouraged bankers and other executives to take the kinds of reckless risks that contributed to the housing bubble."

The housing bubble came from Washington, not from bank board rooms. It was Washington that told these banks that their future growth would be halted or curtailed if they didn't make sure that pretty much anyone with a pulse that wanted a home loan could get one. It was Washington that set up these extraordinary systems whereby banks could make the loans and then pass of the liability to the American taxpayers. It was WASHINGTON, not the banks, that took the reckless risks.

Quick, can you tell me the ceiling for our national debt limit? It's okay if you can't ... the Talkmaster is here to educate you. In the economic stimulus package passed in February, the Democrats raised the national debt limit to $12.1 trillion. Just eight months later, the Democrats are already looking to increase that limit yet again ... to $13 trillion. But don't blame it all on Democrats. Republicans are very adept at raising the debt limit when they're in charge as well.

A trillion here, a trillion there .. what's the difference? Your grandchildren will one day be able to tell you that difference. But in the meantime, the only thing stopping Democrats in Congress from raising the limit are the Republicans. The Democrats have already thought about the fact that a few of you taxpayers may not be too happy to hear about this raise ... and this would be a prime issue for the GOP to embrace and attack the Democrats for their spending habits. The Democrat solution? Attach this debt increase to a bill that MUST pass - like a Defense spending bill.

Let's noodle this one through.

• For the last ten years, our government spending has skyrocketed thanks to George Bush.
• Congress votes to increase the debt ceiling.
• Barack Obama gets into office and spends more in his first few months than all other presidents combined.
• Congress needs to increase the debt ceiling, but Democrats don't want to get blamed.
• Democrats attach the vote on the increase to a Defense spending bill to fund the troops in Afghanistan (a hot issue at the moment).
• The Democrats try to downplay the issue of increase so as to not spark public outrage.
• The Republicans say they don't want to vote for the bill because of the increase.
• The Democrats say that the Republicans don't want to support the troops.
• The Republicans end up voting for the bill anyway.
• Election time rolls around, and Democrats use the vote against Republicans saying that they voted to increase the debt limit to a whopping $13 trillion (neglecting to mention the fact that the increase was attached to a bill to fund the troops because the Democrats manipulated it that way).

Isn't this fun, folks?

Barack Obama says that he isn't losing any sleep over Fox News. I'll buy it. But I bet you dollars to doughnuts that there are a lot of Obama officials and dogwashers who lose plenty of sleep over the fact that Fox News is VERY effective at poking holes in their White House bubble. But the latest comments actually come from the president himself. Obama says that Fox News is "operating basically as talk radio."

Here's the full quote: "I think what our advisers have simply said is that we are going to take media as it comes ... And if media is operating basically as a talk radio format then that's one thing, and if it's operating as a news outlet that's another but it's not something I'm losing sleep over."

Here again we see The Community Organizer focusing on three shows: Beck, O'Reilly and Hannity. Two currently have talk shows. O'Reilly had one, but got his ass kicked in the ratings. So once again let's make this point: Obama's gripe with Fox News is with the opinion and commentary shows, not the news shows. It might be nice if someone would sit The Community Organizer down and try to explain to him the difference between news and opinion. Hey, PrezBO .. you're never too old to learn!

Nancy Pelosi had an interview yesterday with CNBC's Maria Bartiromo, and Maria actually asked a good question! She challenged Nancy Pelosi on the Bush tax cuts, suggesting to Princess Nancy that allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire would be the same thing as a tax increase.

So here's the question: "Does the expiration of the Bush tax cuts mean that there will be tax increases?"

This could have been answered in one word: Yes.

But Nancy couldn't bring herself to admit it. Instead. Here is what she had to say via The Swamp:

"That wasn't a tax increase,'' Pelosi said. "It is.. eliminating a tax decrease that was there... It was controversial to begin with. It is... a boon to those who have had it for now. But I think that you will see that happen.

"That affects, what? The upper two percent of our population. What we're trying to do is lower... taxes for the middle class, relieve burdens... on business. So that we can be competitive in job creation. And I think you'll see some interesting things emerge-- from the conversations we're having now. ''

What about allowing those tax breaks to expire at a fragile time in an economic recovery, the speaker was asked.

"I don't think many people here see, nor do the American people see those tax cuts at the high end as being job-creating,'' she said. "They don't... think that that's part of the reason we're in the fiscal, the budgetary situation that we're in, because those tax cuts cost money. And... they were... a cost to our budget, without any commensurate impact on the economy for job creation. To return money to the treasury. So, nobody sees those as a job-creator.

"Return money to the treasury?" Did you get that? Tanking earned income away from a small businessman --- and make no mistake, the vast majority of people who will suffer these tax increases are small businessmen and women --- so taking their money is "returning money to the treasury!"

If the voters of this country were (a) not government-educated; and (b) not so focused on their Hollywood celebrity news; they would run this barking moonbat out of office.

Darn this guy is good. George Will explains how Obama has established the Social Security COLA as "the capstone to the architecture of the entitlement culture that is modern liberalism's crowning achievement."

The difference between Democrats and Republicans ... according to President Obama.

The White House says that the government's economic stimulus spending has already had its biggest impact and probably won't contribute to significant growth next year. Wait, this was it????

Where does the Constitution authorize Congress to require all Americans to carry health insurance? The Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee can't answer that.

How out of touch are Republicans? This out of touch.

Haven't I been saying this for a while, folks? Healthcare is not about your health, it is about control.

The latest Gallup polls show an alarming drop in President Obama's approval ratings ... the worst drop for any president in his first year in office.

Looks like more Americans are figuring out the truth about this global warming scam.

Our Social Security system is going to come crashing down soon. Will that lead to the end of entitlement culture?

Could we be looking at a Fairness Doctrine for the Internet?

Central Florida's incompetent Representative is in trouble for bringing a poster on the House floor that could be construed as promoting his re-election campaign. He also says that Fox News and the GOP are the enemies of "America, peace and education."

Victor Davis Hanson says that the real key to being a "popular" America seems to be to empathize with non-Western totalitarians. Hence Obama's popularity.

Our Health and Human Services Secretary says she will donate swine flu vaccinations to foreign countries before meeting US demand.
