President Obama Brings His Dog And Pony Show To Pennsylvania

President Obama is off on yet another whirlwind tour, his excuse this time is that he is traveling to “summits to create jobs.”

Barack Obama knows as much about creating jobs as I do about quantum physics.

Before saddling the taxpayers with the costs of his latest (sure to be) boondoggle, he had a meeting at the White House with such helpful advisors such as the CEO’s of Boeing, Comcast, AT&T and Disney.

I’m not holding my breath waiting to see the Walt Disney Company start employing people all across small town America.

Why doesn’t the President talk to some people who may actually be able to give him some advice about job creation?

Better yet, can one of you who supports the President explain to me how holding a question and answer session with a group of people who are not business owners at a community college in Pennsylvania is going to do anything to spur job creation?

I couldn’t begin to come close to the amount of resources available to President Obama.

Yet in ten minutes of doing research, I came across two Pennsylvania firms, both of them automotive, that the owners of would be able to tell the President what it takes to create jobs.

They are both family-owned firms, both started out with one location, one has grown to 26 locations throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania, the other has 53 locations that stretch from Northeast Pennsylvania to the Canadian border.

The owners of these firms are the people the President should meet with if he wants to learn something about creating jobs.

Instead, he uses the usual liberal ploy of presenting a lot of style and very little of substance.

Meanwhile, the country’s unemployment rate will continue to rise, adding millions of job losses to the already frightening number of Americans who are unemployed.

We are putting are hopes of job creation and an economic turnaroud in the hands of a President who, along with the chair of his Council of Economic Advisers, promised America that if Congress passed his stimulus plan, unemployment would rise no higher than 8 percent.

Yeah, that plan has worked out really well.

Wasn’t there someone who said something about doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result?

By repeating the same tactics that didn’t work before, that seems to be the President’s plan for reducing unemployment.

That and traveling around the country making speeches to crowds of unemployed people as a means of stimulating the economy.

Good luck with that one Mr. President.

Climategate Protestors Ejected, Al Gore Goes Into Hiding

Circumstances are really turning up the heat on global warming guru Al Gore.

One of America’s biggest hypocrites has just cancelled a speaking engagement at a climate change conference in Copenhagen.

Gore was supposed to be the speaker at a $1,200 per person meet and greet, but suddenly bowed out, citing a “scheduling conflict.” More details on Gore being a no-show and the event being scrubbed from the VisitCopenhagen website can be found here.

It’s just possible that Al “big carbon footprint” Gore was afraid he may have to face the same sort of questions that were posed to him at a recent book signing, as is shown in this video.
(Let it run for a minute or so, it takes a moment to get to the good part.)

He might have been worried that someone questioning his credibility might not be forcibly removed from the event, seeing as how they would have paid twelve hundred dollars to be there.

I wish the questioners has focused more on trying to get some honest answers from Gore, rather than shout out things about the “new world order”, but it is sort of a moot point; when has Gore ever been honest about this global warming farce?

Be sure to take note of the vehicle Gore makes his escape in.

That isn’t a Prius or some other earth-friendly hybrid.

Twas The Night Before An Obama Christmas

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the White House,
not a creature was stirring, not even the chief louse.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
in hopes that Pelosi would deliver healthcare.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
I hope my Czars remembered their meds.

And Michelle in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
lay wondering if global warming was all a big load of crap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I thought it must be Joe Biden, he’s mad as a hatter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,
it might be Rahm Emanuel, the man’s pretty brash.

The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow,
made me wonder how to keep Congress in tow.

When what to my wondering eyes should appear
 but Harry Reid and his  friends shouting “come down for a beer.”

With a little old driver so lively and quick,
I thought that Fox News was pulling a trick.

More rapid than eagles his cronies they came,
like the cop and the professor, it was more of the same.

“Now Rangel, now Specter, and you Barney Frank,
let’s raise taxes while the economy is still in the tank.”

They went from the porch to the top of the wall,
as Chris Dodd shouted ” that Sarah Palin sure is a doll.”

So up to the house-top the liberals they flew,
with the cap-and-trade bill they hoped to push through.

And then in a twinkling I heard on the roof,
David Axelrod’s footsteps, the man’s such a goof.

As I drew in my hand and was turning around,
down the chimney came John Murtha with some tax money he found.

He was covered in fur from his head to his foot,
and into his wallet the money he put.

A suitcase full of cash he had on his back,
for pork-barrel spending, the man has a knack.

Barney Frank’s eyes twinkled, he had a nose like a cherry,
and said he would fight anyone who called him a fairy.

His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
a sub-prime mortage makes his eyes all aglow.

The stump of a pipe Dodd held in his teeth,
looking pretty calm for one accused of being a thief.

Charlie Rangel stood there with a pain in his belly,
while I got on the phone and called up the deli.

Reverend Wright stood there like a jolly old elf,
that guy is sure full of himself.

With a wink of her eye and a twist of her head,
Pelosi fibbed,saying the heathcare bill she had read,

They spoke not a word, but went right to their work,
plotting for payoffs from drug giant Merck.

And laying their fingers alonside of their nose,
they made plans for the taxpayer’s next set of woes.

They sprang to their limo, and gave the driver a whistle,
while saying healthcare was more important than any Iranian nuclear missile.

But I heard them exclaim as they drove out of sight,
“we’re screwed when America learns what we do at night.”

A Very Obama Christmas

As with everything he has done so far, President Obama is going to spend a lot of our money this Christmas, and as usual the rest of America will end up with little or nothing to show for it.

The Chicago Sun-Times recently published an article that pointed out the plans of the Christmas celebrations at the Obama White House.

Most of us might think that with the recent failure of the Secret Service to prevent potential Presidential security risks such as party crashers Tareq and Michaele Salahi, the President and the First Lady might think about scaling back their holiday celebrations.

Others will make the argument that the Secret Service failing to properly carry out it’s duties should not result in the President and his family changing their holiday plans.

I am sure we will see beefed-up security at any future events taking place at the White House, which of course will result in higher costs for additional staff, overtime, etc.

I support spending whatever money it takes in order to keep the President and his family safe.

My concern is with the fact that during the month of December the Obama White House has 28 holiday gatherings planned, 17 holiday parties and 11 open-house events.

With tens of millions of Americans drastically scaling back their Christmas spending, this seems to be a real slap in the face to the average taxpayers, the ones who will ultimately get stuck with paying for these celebrations.

I have seen various news reports estimating that the recent State Department dinner at the White House may have cost as much as a half a million dollars.

That was with a guest list of approximately 320 people.

So when Michelle Omama’s communications chief, Camille Johnston, reveals that the Obama’s plan on having 50,000 guests at the White House over the next few weeks, it tends to put a damper on your Christmas spirit.

Seems just a bit over the top for the President of the United States to spend all of that money on Christmas parties while the rest of America is wondering how they can afford to buy gifts for their children.

While  millions of Americans will try to prepare some sort of Christmas dinner with whatever they can buy with food stamps, President Obama, along with his family and friends, will feast on caviar and champagne.

Merry Christmas.

Top Ten Books For The Liberals On Your Christmas Gift List

All right, it may have been a mistake to use the word “Christmas” in the title of this article, but old habits die hard.

Feel free to substitute “Holiday”, “Festival of Trees”, or “Non-Demoniational Celebration Of The Winter Solstice” if you have an undying urge to be politically correct.

Regardless, we here at the Freedom Medium are aware that many of us, in spite of our efforts to instill them with some common sense, have family members of the liberal persuasion.

We all know that liberals love taking things from other people, and so that they don’t feel left out at this time of year, we present a list of reading material they are sure to treasure.

1. The Collected Wisdom Of Al Gore
The fact that this paperback sequel to “Earth In The Balance” is made from 100% recycled paper is far from being it’s only earth friendly attribute.
With 442 blank pages, it also doesn’t use any of that eco-unfriendly ink stuff.

2. The Illustrated Janeane Garofalo
Having little if anything to say about anything other than accusing Tea Party protestors of being racists, along with having an acting biography as a Hollywood never-was, this book is still fascinating for the liberal on your Christmas list for the pretty illustrations of Janeane’s tattoos.

3. The Hillary Clinton Guide To Surviving Sniper Fire
One of the best-selling fiction books of all time, read how the fertile imagination of America’s former First Lady portrayed being under attack when a helicopter landing placed her into the middle of a combat zone.

4. How To Get A Ten Million Dollar Federal Grant For Your Family
The amazing true story (seriously, this did indeed happen) of a Congressman from a small town in Pennsylvania and how he steered a ten million dollar federal grant to Cornerstone Technologies, a company run by members of his immediate family.
Be warned, the story has a tragic ending when the corporation goes bankrupt and stores it’s remaining assets in the garage of a bowling alley.

5. How To Spot A Conservative (By Anonymous)
The author of this guide preferred to keep his or her identity a secret while revealing the tell-tale signs that someone you come in contact with may be a right-wing nut job.
It goes beyond the normal clues such as being pro-life, being in favor of limited government intrusion, watching Fox News, etc., and delves into some of the more subtle aspects, such as conservatives disguising themselves as being members of the working class, drinking beer instead of Martinis, raising decent, law-abiding children, as well as a host of other subtle clues.

6. How To Be Clueless and Still Take A Stand (By the members of Organizing For America)
This thin volume is a quick read as it outlines how the members of OFA attend town hall meetings promoting the President’s  health care reform package in spite of having no knowledge whatsoever of the details of the bill.

7. The Nancy Pelosi “Not In My Backyard” Story
A fascinating tale of how the Speaker Of The House resisted the call to transfer terrorist prisoners from Guantanamo Bay to Alcatraz, a virtually escape-proof island prison in the San Francisco Bay.
Read how the Speaker feels that housing terrorists at a site that is now under the control of the National Parks Service doesn’t mean that a prison that no one ever escaped from a better choice than some place in the heart of America.

8. Universal Health Care For Everyone….Except Us (By The Democrat Members Of The U.S. Congress)
Learn the real reasons why all of the liberal members of Congress want to impose Obamacare on all of us, penalize anyone with what they call a “Cadillac” plan, and at the same time keep the Rolls-Royce plan that covers them.

9. An Unbiased Guide To Biased Journalism (By The Mainstream Media)
A fascinating look behind the scenes at some of America’s major news orginizations. Just some of the highlights are:
Keith Olbermann explains why evertone in the world but himself is the worst person ever.
Rachel Maddow points out how our country needs to bring back the Fairness Doctrine so that Air America can go bankrupt once again, and therfore be eligible for a federal bailout.
Chris Matthews provides an explanation as to why having a tingle running up your leg is just a natural political process.
The book also has a prologue by Al Franken describing how his being part of the cast of Saturday Night Live qualifies him to be a United States Senator.

10. The David Letterman Guide To Gourmet Shoe Polish
If you are one of those folks who is always pulling off some sort of gaffe, this book is for you!
If you find yourself sticking your foot in your mouth on a regular basis, you want to taste more than regular shoe leather, don’t you?
Learn which flavors go best with a jest about Sarah Palin’s daughter, the most satisfying flavor after having sex with an intern (boy, Bill Clinton could have really used a copy of this book), and a host of other tips to keep you from tasting plain old leather as you pry your foot out of your mouth.
For those of you hoping to get your hands on the first copy of this guide, sorry, but that one has already been given to Vice-President Joe Biden.

So there you have it, a reading list sure to delight any liberal on your Christmas shopping list.

Just be sure not to call it a Christmas present.
