Mortgage Madness

&= nbsp; We must confess that our Orne= ry Obama Observer is a little, okay a lot, steamed after watching the latest presidential spectacle in Ari= zona. What did we just hear Obama say? Now the home mortgage mess is “a cri= sis unlike any we have ever known?” Didn’t he just say that was the reason to pass his Trillion Dollar and Change Porkulus Boongoggle? So, we a= re going to add another $75,000,000,000 to that total? Because tax-cheating Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner says the original proposed amount of $50,000,000 “just wasn’t enough?” Did Turbo-Tax tell him that? And, what about the auto industry bailout? Well, the “good̶= 1; news is that Obama is considering another stimulus package for this summer.=

&= nbsp; Our media watchdog Harry the Cable guy reports that the MEDIA MANCRUSH continues in some quarters. The shameless sycophant, lap-dancing Washington Po= st editorial writer, Eugene Rob= inson now says the Obama Administration is the “Presidency on Steroids.R= 21; Why, signing executive orders to turn terrorists at GITMO loose and to allow over-taxed payer funding for abortions in foreign lands is astonishing enou= gh, but, also passing Obama’s Trillion Dollars and Change Porkulus Boondo= ggle in such a short time through a completely DemocRAT-controlled Congress is .= . . well, nothing short of incredible. It was really difficult convincing Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and the rest of the D-RATS on Capitol Hill to pass a bi= ll that with one stroke of Obama’s mighty pen wastes more money on social engineering programs than we have spent on the entire Iraq War . . . and pu= ts our great, great grandchildren in debt up to their eyebrows. Robinson now gushes that Obama must turn his attention to “carving up the private sector.” You go, Eugene<= /st1:place>! Obama would be so proud.

And in Politico, Michael Calderone is explaining why nobody’s surprised that in three months since Election Day, at least a half-dozen prominent journalists have taken jobs working for the federal government.

On the other hand, Sam Donaldson, retiring from ABC afte= r 41 years, predicts the Media will soon be ending Obama’s “Kid Glov= es Treatment,” according to a story by Ron Kessler. Sure, Sam, just as soon as you’l= l be seen without that God-awful toupee you paste on whenever you’re in fr= ont of a TV camera.

On his advice for Obama, Sam says: "I want to hear ruffles and flourishes and 'Hail to the Chief' when you walk in. One of Reagan's strengths was as a performer. When he entered a room, the presiden= t of the United States was there. We don't want the guy next door." Donaldson adds that Obama= 's early missteps are "beginning to erode that halo, which always happens= to presidents, of infallibility or greatness."

Political pundit William F. Wisniewski is big on putting things into their proper perspective. During the Great Depression of the 1930’s, unemployment pushed past 20%. The banking system totally collapsed. Manufacturing ground to a complete halt. There was virtually no social safety net in place to help seniors, the young, the sick and those aforementioned displaced workers. Other nations experiencing the same troub= les as ours surrendered their freedoms to fear and turned to totalitarian governments to save them. And talk about climate change, the Dust Bowl in <= st1:country-region w:st=3D"on">America= ’s breadbasket wreaked havoc on this nation’s food supply. If Obama is correct that we are currently on the brink of catastrophe, we went several hundred miles past that during the Great Depression. Newly-elected Presiden= t Franklin Delano Roosevelt offered the New Deal as a possible soluti= on. He put together what were considered the best minds of the time and carefully worked the programs through Congress building bi-partisan consensus. Huge programs like the Tenness= ee Valley Authority an= d the Works Progress Administration strove to put people back to work. Social Security was enacted to provide some basic protections for the elderly. Gre= at works like the Hoover Dam and locally part= s of the Cincinnati Zoo and Union Terminal were constructed through these programs. =

Wisniewski reminds us that the total price tag for the N= ew Deal, adjusted to today’s dollars, was HALF – YES, HALF, THE CO= ST OF PRESIDENT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA’S TRILLON DOLLARS AND CHANGE PORKUL= US BOONDOGGLE THAT WAS RAMMED THROUGH CONGRESS IN JUST A FEW DAYS. Heaven help= us. Actually, some people at the signing didn’t seem to agree.

Actual Actuary Tino Delgato says, “The national de= bt -- the sum of money owed by all levels off government -- stands at $10.7 trillion, or about $36,000 for every man, woman and child in the U.S. Inter= est payments alone on the national debt will near $500 billion this year. It's already the fourth-largest federal expenditure, after Medicare-Medicaid, So= cial Security and defense. Can’t we just default on this and let China a= nd the Oil Sheiks bail us out. Go Figure!!!”

            So while That Lying Plagiarizing Meddling Overblown Tax-and-Spend RINO Bitch-in-a-Ditch <= /span>Mean Jean Schmidt was off junketing somewhere, the Gayvenor and Steve Driehaus came to Cincinnati for a Porkulus Photo Op. The meeting was advertised as “Open to the Public,” but several peo= ple were turned away and told it was by “invitation only.” No wonder those protesters holding signs that said “Driehaus is a Disgrace̶= 1; had to stay outside. And the only person who was lucky enough to get into t= he event stuck up for Driehaus. He said, “Driehaus isn’t a disgrac= e, he’s a fraud.”

            On Late Night TV, Jay Leno said, “Monday was Presidents’ Day. Congress commemorated George Washington’s thro= wing a dollar across the Potomac by throwing = $780 billion down a rat hole.”

            WLW Radio’s Mike McConnell says, "If the Feds build Hamilton County a new jail, use local labor and maintain it for the next 20 years, we'll ta= ke the terrorists from Guantanamo= ! Build it on the Banks with a Super Max in the basement and the jail on top. "Think outside the box"!

            We all know about skunks like Richardson, Daschle, Killi= fer, and Geithner. But, you may not know that a recent story puts Obama’s trusted Chief-of-Staff Rahm Emanuel right in the middle of an ethical probl= em of his own. Reports indicate that Emanuel lived rent-free in the home of fo= rmer Clinton pollster Stan Greenberg for more than five years. Congressional ethics rules required that Emanuel report that very generous gift that would be valued at approximately $100,000. But you know what? Mr. Emanuel neglected to report = it. It gets worse. While chairing the Democratic Congressional Committee and li= ving rent-free, Emanuel steered more than $500,000 in sweetheart polling contrac= ts to Greenberg. Is this the same Candidate Barack Hussein Obama that campaign= ed in part on a platform of cleaning up the mess in Washington, DC?

     = ;       Now we have today’s Racial Healing Item from Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane and Buckwheat Blackwell (finali= sts for Ebony and Ivory Racial Healing Award during Black History Month, now ca= lled Half-Black History Month in honor Obama). Commenting on Wednesday’s incredible performance of Sen= ator Roland Burris, Obama’s black replacement in the seat, they ask: ̶= 0;So why is only OK for black politicians to lie under oath?” Maybe nobody ever expected a black political hack to tell the truth anyhow, no matter how high he raises his hand.

More Fiscal Irresponsibility

     = ;       Yesterday, Whistleblower Business Editor Merrill Forbes discussed the fiasco of the City of Cincinnati giving a private developer, Pauline Van der Haer, $300,000 from city funds, allegedly for "roof repair," wink wink. Editor Forbes yeste= rday discussed several property irregularities concerning Van der Haer. To= day we bring up the fact she bought another property at 2311 Inwood Place in Mt. Auburn in July of 2006 for $61,000. The previous owners bought the property = four months earlier for $135,000. So Van der Haer got the property for $74= ,000 less after just four months time. What a deal! Additionally, as soon as she got title, she filed a tax appeal on it and won. Forbes is wondering what special qualities Pauline Van der Haer possesses to get such advantageous monetary treatment. Why did city clown-cil member Cecil Thomas gallop in on his white horse to give this damsel $300,000 of city money? Aren't there other property owners in Cincinnati who'd like the city to give = them $300,000 for a new roof—and who in hell pays $300,000 for a roof anyhow?

            Pauline Van der Haer, who was previously employed as a furniture salesperson, has backed out of city-subsidized real estate projec= ts before, after receiving piles of city money. In 2000, a holding compa= ny led by her walked out on an $11 million dollar project in Over-the-Rhine wh= en the city didn't give more public money to her project as fast as she wanted. And after receiving more than $500,000 for a project called Dorsey Mews, also in Mt.<= /st1:PlaceType> Auburn, Van der Haer quickly asked the city for $200,000 more, a sum the city director called "indefensibly high." City clown-cil member Pat DeWhine at t= he time called her constant requests for city money "absolutely outrageous." And Van der Haer is still absolutely outrageous, always r= eady to take big chunks of city and other money.

            Meanwhile, Hamilt= on County’s Disingenuous DemocR= AT County Auditor (who= was permitted to run unopposed by the RINOs at 700 Walnut Street) is off getting a= medal from attorneys maki= ng a killing handing all his Board of Revision cases.  &nb= sp;

   = ;         And “Just Wondering in ClevesR= 21; says, “When I was a kid in the Mt. Auburn, Glencoe Place and LeRoy Court= were considered dumps. If they haven’t been concerned about the condition of those supposed historic buildings since the 1950s, why are they caring about those buildings after 50 more years of neglect?”<= /b>

   = ;         Another Cin= cinnati firefighter, Eric Baker, 34, of Mt. Washington was arrested (and quickly released) after being charged with stealing city property and giving it to a girlfriend to sell on E-bay. Baker's arrest follows that of another Cincinnati firefighter, Thomas Mason, last week who had warrants issued for= his arrest after he failed to appear in court on theft and drug-related charges. What is crack city manager Milton Doheny going to do about t= his continuing embarrassing city firefighter crime spree? For that matter= , is Cincinnati fire chief Robert Wright ever going to get off his fat butt and clean out his corrupt fire department?

&nb= sp;
            And was that Cincinnati’s Dainty DemocRAT Mayor Mallory on Channel 9 Tuesday night discussing Obama’s Trillion Dollar and Change Porkulus Boondoggle? Perhaps Dainty should’ve been interviewed somewhere else besides the corner of 7th a= nd Race Streets with a closed Payless in the background?

            In Columbus= , Buckeye Bureau Chief Gerry Manders wonders if Kevin DeWussie got a spine implant. Commenting on news that Dishonest DemocRATS Lt. Govenor Lee Fisher= and Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner were running against GOP Loser Lobbyist= Rob “Fighting for the Whistleblower’s Endorsement” Portman for RINOvich’s US Senate Seat, the Ohio RINO Party Boss said, "I can= 't think of two more unimpressive candidates than Lee Fisher and Jennifer Brunner. Mr. Fisher brings to the table a dismal record of accomplish= ment as Ohio's lieutenant governor. He was hired with the sole responsibility of creating jobs and helping to turn around Ohio's economy, yet in two short y= ears he's managed to preside over the state's largest economic downturn in a generation, and that even includes Boob Taft’s string of eight years = we can’t forget soon enough.

            “Jennifer Brunner offers nothing more than a widely criticized record= of rabid partisanship and poor judgment. She represents the kind of poli= tics that her own party's standard bearer promised to change in Washington. It's fitting that she wants to go to Capitol Hill just as her DemocRAT colleagues are preparing to shower millions of taxpayer dollars on her election fraud cronies at ACORN. Brunner's excessive waste of over-taxed payer dollars to fund = the radical agenda and far-left band of election conspiracy theorists should fit right in with a Senate that knows no excess.”

            And you wonder why our Kneepad Liberals in the Press didn’t put that on the front page.<= /p>

            Hurley the Historian says on this date in 1847, the Donn= er Party was rescued after having been stranded in the snow in the Sierra Neva= da Mountains, and for a time, cannibalism in <= st1:place w:st=3D"on">America was OK and alfresco d= ining hasn’t been the same since.    =

   = ;         The Forrest Gump $chool District is bac= k for more money while they continue to waste the over-taxed payers’ hard-e= arned cash. Our Angry Andersonian has driven by Anderson High Schoo= l quite a bit recently. He noticed that they were lighting the football field almost every night in January and February. It must cost quite a bit of mon= ey to light that field. But why were they turned on? Who was using the football field in the winter? Each time Angry noticed the lights on, he pulled into = the empty parking lot to investigate. No one was ever on the field! No one was = ever in the stadium, yet the lights were shining brightly. Your over-taxed dolla= rs at work.

            Patsy Crowley is reporting on his blog that the Boone County DemocRAT Party is offering any teenager who is interested in becoming a Democrat a chance to win a $250 college scholarship.

And Ken said, “Hell at the rate these teachers are bitching, by 2010 a bottle of booze will probably cost $ 250.”

   = ;         Ken CamBoo says = Gateway Community C= ollege is now offering a printing class.
