VIDEO: You picked a fine time to lead us, Barack

Published in April 5th, 2010

Now for something a little lighter and more entertaining. This is a well-done parody of “You Picked a Fine Time to Leave Me, Lucille” by Kenny Rogers. Written and sung by Jonathan McWhite. Guitar accompaniment by David McWhite.

Let’s not forget that humor can be a much more powerful weapon than vitriol. More messages like this about not only Obama, but Democrats in general, will do wonders to expose their incompetence and undermine their credibility come November. And a catchy tune (or witty slogan) stays on the brain better than talking points.

Arrogant Obama humiliates Israel’s Netanyahu

Though he campaigned with the inclusive-sounding slogan of “Yes we can,” Barack Obama and the Democrats seem to have taken on a new slogan: “Yes, we can… do whatever the heck we want. And we don’t need you.” This past week, they unilaterally shoved ObamaCare down the throats of the American people, despite attempts by Republicans to save the country from the Dems’ massive power grab.

Today, the Times of London is reporting that an arrogant President Obama feels he can ride roughshod over the United States’ relationship with Israel. Earlier this week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was at the White House for talks about current Middle East tensions and new Israeli settlements in east Jerusalem. When Netanyahu did not meet Obama’s demand of concessions, the President rudely walked out of the meeting with the longtime US ally. Excerpts from the story are below:

For a head of government to visit the White House and not pose for photographers is rare. For a key ally to be left to his own devices while the President withdraws to have dinner in private was, until this week, unheard of. Yet that is how Binyamin Netanyahu was treated by President Obama on Tuesday night, according to Israeli reports on a trip viewed in Jerusalem as a humiliation.

After failing to extract a written promise of concessions on settlements, Mr Obama walked out of his meeting with Mr Netanyahu but invited him to stay at the White House, consult with advisers and “let me know if there is anything new”, a US congressman, who spoke to the Prime Minister, said.

“It was awful,” the congressman said. One Israeli newspaper called the meeting “a hazing in stages”, poisoned by such mistrust that the Israeli delegation eventually left rather than risk being eavesdropped on a White House telephone line. Another said that the Prime Minister had received “the treatment reserved for the President of Equatorial Guinea”.

Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary,… did not deny claims that it amounted to a dressing down for the Prime Minister.

Make that 11 states: Virginia to sue, too

The number of states ready to sue over Obamacare continues to rise. Arguing that it is unconstitutional, the attorney general of Virginia also announced this morning that he will sue if President Obama signs the massive healthcare bill into law. Excerpts from the Reuters report are below:

Virginia’s attorney general [Kenneth Cuccinelli] said he plans to sue the federal government over the healthcare reform legislation, saying Congress lacks authority to force people to buy health insurance.

He said the bill also conflicts with a state law that says Virginians cannot be required to buy insurance.

“If a person decides not to buy health insurance, that person by definition is not engaging in commerce,” Cuccinelli said in recorded comments. “If you are not engaging in commerce, how can the federal government regulate you?”

According to Reuters, the attorneys general from Florida and at least nine other states plan to sue if President Obama signs into law the healthcare bill — dubbed by many as “Obamacare” — recently passed by the US House of Representatives. The breaking story is below:

“The health care reform legislation passed by the U.S. House of Representatives last night clearly violates the U.S. Constitution and infringes on each state’s sovereignty,” Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum, a Republican, said in a prepared statement announcing a news conference.

“On behalf of the State of Florida and of the Attorneys General from South Carolina, Nebraska, Texas, Utah, Pennsylvania, Washington, North Dakota, South Dakota and Alabama if the President signs this bill into law, we will file a lawsuit to protect the rights and the interests of American citizens.” [emphasis added]

How your Rep voted on Obamacare

Don’t give up hope! While it appears that Nancy Pelosi and the White House were able to hand out enough “bribes,” twist enough arms and fool enough others to get the Obamacare bill passed in the House, the Senate still needs to give their approval to the House’s bill tweaks. Remember, the House and the Senate must pass identical language. Challenges based on procedural grounds, constitutionality and/or legality are also floating out there. For now, here is a link to the list of Yeas and Nays on the healthcare legislation in the House on Sunday, 4/21:

Obamacare: How House members voted

If your Representative voted “no,” be sure to thank them. If they voted “yes,” be sure to tell them that you’ll “remember in November” and that they should update their resume.
