The man who promised America Hope and Change has really delivered on that promise.

Which may explain why his popularity numbers are dropping like a stone.

Victor Hanson at Pajamas Media sums it up for us:

The China Presidency

I have an heirloom china pitcher on my mantle that has dozens of glued cracks—so much so that it is now purely ornamental and will not hold water. When I was a boy I’d ask my mother when, and under what circumstances, did the china crack apart.

She would provide stories about each fissure and mend, many of the break narratives handed down to her from her own grandparents in the house. There wasn’t one single accident, but instead dozens that rendered a once useful pitcher into an non-functional art object.

Something of the same is happening with our President. He is experiencing the sharpest popularity decline in the history of first-year administrations. The problem is not just that he inherited a bad economy; Reagan did too. Or that the war in Afghanistan heats up, since it is not nearly as bad as the mess Nixon inherited in Vietnam.

Instead, after 11 months there has emerged a series of bothersome incidents that the public has come to associate with Obama, both the man and his philosophies. Some are major policy issues; others trivial acts of no cosmic importance. None in themselves matter all that much. Each gaffe or mistake was contextualized and mended, or attended to by Robert Gibbs. Some are Obama’s fault; others the work of associates. Sometimes mere chance is the culprit.

I know Bush had his own list of catastrophes; other Presidents did as well. Again, my point is not trying to adjudicate relative culpability, but rather just to remind us all how and why Obama dived over 20 points in the polls in just 11 months—and his speeches transformed from inspirational to caricatures.

In short,  taken together, after nearly a year, these fissures have nearly ruined the once pretty texture of the Obama administration, and almost rendered it incapable of effective governance.

Here is a random selection. I provide no chronology or theme. Nor do I judge the relative importance of any one incident. The point, again, is only that each was a fissure, some small, some major—all were glued over. The result is that now the public understands that its china presidency is fragile and held together by mere glue.

Here it goes:

Constant apologies abroad for everything from slavery to Hiroshima

Bows to Saudi royalty, the Japanese emperor, and Chinese autocrats

The on-again/off-again Guantanamo shut-down mess

The fight with the former CIA directors

The public show trial of Khalid Sheik Mohammed

The reach out to Ahmadinejad Castro, Chavez, and assorted thugs

The Honduras fiasco

Czars everywhere

The serial “Bush did it”/reset whine abroad

The Queen of England/I-pod fiasco

Gordon Brown gets snookered in his gift-giving

Unceremoniously shipping back the Churchill bust

The end of the special relationship with the UK

The New York on-the-town presidential splurge

Anita Dunn and her Mao worship

Timothy Geithner/Tom Daschle/Hilda Solis and their taxes

What ever happened to Gov. Richardson?

“No lobbyists” = gads of them

The Podestas’ insider influence-peddling empire

Sotomayor’s “wise Latina” chauvinism

The Special Olympics silly quip

Trashing Nancy Reagan

The Skip Gates/police acting “stupidly” mess

First it was schoolchildren being coached on signing praises to Obama.

Then it was Safe Schools Czar Kevin Jennings, a member of GLSEN, who wants our children to study gay porn.

And now the little kiddies can use their Barack Obama pencils to take notes in their Barack Obama notebooks.

A big Freedom Medium Thank You to Lou McBride for alerting us to this.

Pencils and notebooks resembling President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign ads have been sold in at least one Columbia school and other public schools, causing the company that distributes the materials to travel around the state yanking the supplies out of machines.

“Don’t be mad at us,” said Greg Jones, a sales representative with Pencil Wholesale. “It was a total accident.”

Pencil Wholesale distributes supplies to six Columbia schools: Parkade Elementary, Cedar Ridge Elementary, Paxton Keeley Elementary, Mill Creek Elementary, Smithton Middle School and Hickman High School, said Linda Quinley, the district’s chief financial officer.

At Mill Creek, at least one pencil and a notebook with designs similar to Obama campaign advertisements have been sold out of a supply machine. Two families have complained about the politically tinged materials.

Kevin Jennings, President Obama’s Safe Schools Czar, is now proposing that children as young as preschoolers read books describing perverted sex acts.

I wonder if Barack and Michelle would want this man in charge of the curriculum at the school that their daughters attend.

There are times when I run an excerpt of a story, with a link to the rest of the article, in this instance I am not going to do that as many of you may not care to read about the latest way that Obama’s man Kevin Jennings want’s to furthur the pervisions that American children are being made to study, for those of you who want the information on this outrage the link can be found here.

Bigot Czar, Mad Scientist Czar, Animal Rights Czar, Communist Czar, along with a host of others.

One appointment that flew under the radar was the picking of an “Or Else” Czar, as in you will do what you are told, or otherwise be prepared to suffer the consequences.

The first name that probably comes to mind is Rahm Emanuel, but you may be surprised to learn that it’s not him.

In addition to his other duties, President Obama has decided that Vice-President Joe Biden should be the administration’s chief legbreaker.

With a line that could have come straight out of an episode of the Sopranos, Biden made it clear that members of Congress pledging loyalty to the President have nothing to fear, while for those opposing him there will be hell to pay.

After last weeks Senate vote on health care reform, here is what Biden had to say:

“Those who voted for reform will be rewarded and those who voted against it will be held accountable.”

To me, that sounds more like the ravings of a ticked-off Mafia godfather than a rational statement from a Vice-President of the United States.

I can just imagine the after the vote conversation between the President and the Vice-President:

“OK, we’ll give Gillibrand and Schumer all the construction and longshoreman contracts on the Lower East Side, but we better bring Hatch and Bennet in for a sit-down and let them know what it means to go against the family.”

Where the hell does Joe Biden get off telling members of the United States Senate that they will have their feet held to the fire for voting with their conscience?

Has the Obama adminisrtation become so power-mad that it plans to destroy anyone who dares to stand in it’s way?

Various pundits have compared the Obama way of doing things to Chicago-style politics.

Thanks to Joe Biden, we can rest assured that Al Capone would have been proud.

And of course some liberal lunatic had to leave the following comment:

“It sounds to me like you’ve encountered people such as yourself and assumed they were liberals because their bigotry and bias was a different flavor than yours.”

When I had said at the beginning of the article that liberals were missing a few brain cells, I was being sarcastic.

Now I’m starting to think that I may be onto something.

Because for someone to call me a bigot due to the fact that I point out the hypocrisy in their belief system, they must have a mental disease.

Then, the more I thought about it, according to the sick and twisted liberal viewpoint, what I believe does make me a bigot.

Really, is this the best you people can do?

There has to be at least one liberal out there out there with the moral courage to face an issue head on.

And I’m not talking about you halfwits who’s answer to everything is “Well, George Bush did this” or “Republicans did that.”

Explain to me why I shouldn’t have anything  but disdain for global warming hypocrite Al Gore, who’s lifestyle produces a bigger carbon footprint in a month than I do in a year!
And please don’t give me any of that crap about “carbon credits, the last guy to come up with a Ponzi scheme like that was Bernie Maddoff.

Justify the actions of the ACLU, a group of legal sharks who repeatedly file lawsuits hoping to stop the Boy Scouts of America from receiving any federal funding over the fact that the BSA refuses to have admitted homosexuals as Scoutmasters.
ACORN has received millions of federal dollars more than the Scouts have, is the ACLU suing ACORN for their staffers instructing people an how to make children become child prostitutes?
No?
I didn’t think so.

A few years ago, the ACLU served pro bono as defense counsel for two pieces of human garbage who sodomized and murdered a 9 year old boy.
Guess that’s something to be proud of, huh?

Tell me again why I should support President Obama’s appointment of Kevin Jennings as “Safe Schools Czar.”
A man who turned a blind eye to the homosexual statutory rape of a 15 year old boy.

Those of you living in your liberal fantasy world may find this hard to believe, but I don’t really care how two consenting adults choose to live their lives, or pick their sexual partners.

My problem arises when America’s school system tries to teach children about moral and lifestyle choices.
That is not the job of a schoolteacher, that is the job of a parent.
We who consider ourselves conservatives don’t need you to raise our children for us, we are perfectly capable of doing it on our own.

The holiday season will soon be upon us, and this will compel those on the left to go into one of their favorite rants.

Point out to me where in the United States Constitution the phrase “Separation of Church and State” appears.

Just what is it about Christmas that scares you lefties so much?

“Peace on Earth, Good Will Towards Men” sounds like a pretty good plan to me.

And despite your contempt for any public display of them, when you come right down to it, the Ten Commandments aren’t a bad set of rules to live by.

Please explain to me how Keith Olbermann is more level-headed and fairer than Glenn Beck.
Yet you have nothing but respect for the one, and nothing but contempt for the other.

Clear up for me how many of you are outraged when people in a neighborhood will post signs pointing out that a child molestor has moved into an area.
Are liberals really so mentally sick that they are more concerned with hurting the feelings of a pervert than they are with the safety of young children?

Give me a credible reason why we should think that the government is capable of competently running the health care industry when they foul up almost everything else they put their hands to>
Are we really supposed to believe that our medical records will remain private when a teenage kid can hack into computers at the Pentagon?

I could keep going on with this, but here is the bottom line:

I think that anyone who lives a life of wretched excess while telling me that I have to completelychange my lifestyle because “the earth is in the balance” is nothing more than a money-grubbing hypocrite that is beneath contempt.

I have nothing but disdain for any group of attorneys, no matter what fancy title they choose to give themselves, who defend admitted child molesters and murderers.

If a man wants to have sex with a man, a woman with a woman, or any combination thereof, I don’t care.
But I don’t want the state teaching moral values to my children, that’s a job for myself and my wife.
And if my idea of morality doesn’t mesh with yours, that’s too damn bad.

I fail to see how a Nativity scene on a courthouse lawn will bring about the end of civilization.
Any more than any other religious symbol would.

Please don’t expect me to be delusional enough to believe that pindits such as Sean Hannitty or Michelle Malkin are rabid mad-dog conservatives while in the same breath you try and convince me that Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews sall them right down the middle.

Not only don’t I want a sexual predator living in my neighborhood, Iwould go out of my way to make things so uncomfortable for such an individual that they would move.
And I would urge the folks in the area that this person moved to to do the same thing.
Would I be violating this persons rights?
Too damn bad.
Because unlike you liberals, I feel that the right of a child to be safe from a molester, or a woman from a rapist, far exceed the rights of a pervert.

I don’t feel that the government has any right whatsoever to dictate the terms of my medical coverage.
A while back I put forth the proposal that anyone who wants to sign on to the President’s health care proposals should be allowed to do so.
And that the feds should leave those of us who are happy with the coverage we have now the hell alone.

All of these things are a part of my belief system.

And if that makes me a bigot, then so be it.

The Treasury Department attempted to make Feinberg available to all of that day’s participants in the pool except Fox News.

That scheme failed when the Washington bureau chiefs of the other five television networks taking part came to the conclusion that if Fox News was not included, none of them would conduct an interview with Feinberg.

The interview took place, with Fox participating, in spite of the fact that the White House did not want to invite them.

This is the sort of behavior one expects to see at a day-care center, not in our nation’s Capitol.

It appears that despite the White House urging the other major networks to boycott Fox News and not to treat them as a legitimate news organization, some members of the media still understand the meaning behind the words “a free and unfettered press.

Showing his usual disdain for a subject he does not want to be held accountable for, President Obama had this to say about his administration’s portrayal of Fox news as illegitimate:

“I think that what our advisers simply said is, 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, then that’s another. But it’s not something I’m losing a lot of sleep over.”

So rather than be kept awake at night by the questions raised by such Fox News commentators as Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck, our President would rather be lulled to sleep by the praises of such unbiased reporters as Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow.

Funny, but any time that I think of those three passing themselves off as legitimate journalists, it tends to keep me awake at night!

However, Fox News isn’t the only thing that President Obama is refusing to allow to interrupt his nap time.

Another is Congress.

The White House has told Congress it will reject calls for many of President Obama’s policy czars to testify before Congress.

The fact that Congress has a Constitutional mandate to investigate the actions of any Presidential administration is something else that the President is not loosing any sleep over.

In spite of the fact that not one of the multitude of “Czars” that President Obama has appointed has gone through any sort of Senate confirmation process, White House counsel Greg Craig told members of congress this week that none of the Czars would be made available.

Mr. Craig did explain that the White House is not attempting to circumvent Congress.

“We recognize that it is theoretically possible that a president could create new positions that inhibit transparency or undermine congressional oversight. That is simply not the case, however, in the current administration,”

In other words Congress, take our word for it.

Otherwise we may be forced to pull a Fox News on you.

If the feds decide that it is in the best interest of the government that you become an organ donor, an organ donor you will be.

They won’t need your permission.

They won’t need the permission of your family or loved ones.

And if your prognosis is not very good, they will make that decision for you.

Sounds like this guy would have fit right in at Auschwitz, doesn’t it?

He couldn’t be any more out of touch with the rest of America than that, could he?

That’s what you think.

Watch:

A horse or a dog is more rational than a newborn?

By who’s criteria?

If we taught toddlers to fetch a frisbee, would that even things up?

Hang on, it gets better:

“Morally akin to slavery and the mass extermination of human beings.”

Is this loonytoon seriously comparing what he perceives as animal cruelty to slavery?

Leaving a cat outside in the cold is the same as owning another human being?

This country fought the bloodiest war in it’s history to out an end to such an inhuman, barbaric practice.

Having a dog put to sleep is as morally wrong as the Holocaust?

What the hell do these people put into the Kool-Aid that they drink?

And before you folks from PETA decide to lash out, allow me to explain a few things.

I am a gun owner, but not a hunter.
There is no wildlife I would care to eat, therefore I see no sense in shooting it.

I think Michael Vick should have been sentenced to life in prison.
Preferably with a rabid dog for a cellmate.

I respect dogs more than I do a lot of human beings. (Especially Czars)

My wife and I currently share our home with a lovable, if somewhat psychotic, cat.

But there is a line between animal lover and lunatic.

And Cass Sunstein is over the line.

Not only does he hold animals in higher regard than he does people, he believes animals should be granted the same rights as people!
Or, in actuality, perhaps more rights.

Remember, this is the same man who doesn’t think that the government needs your permission (or even wait for you to die) before making the decision that you will be an organ donor.

Animals, on the other hand, according to Sunstein, should be give the right to sue humans!

In a 2004 book he co-wrote, Sunstein spelled out his plan to allow animals to file a lawsuit:

“Animals should be permitted to bring suit, with human beings as their representatives, to prevent violations of current law … Any animals that are entitled to bring suit would be represented by human counsel, who would owe guardian like obligations and make decisions, subject to those obligations, on their clients’ behalf.”

Does that statement sound like the words of someone who is living on the same planet as the rest of us?

I’ll leave it up to those of you who may agree with Sunstein to explain how a horse obtains legal counsel, how to find someone to interpret the testimony of a polar bear, etc.

Which leads us back to a recurring question:

Where in the hell does Obama find these people?

We had Van Jones, the communist/9-11 conspiracy wackjob Green Jobs Czar.

Then Obama added Kevin Jennings, the homosexual statutory rape advocating Safe Schools Czar.

Then we met Science Czar John Holdren, who favors government-decreed abortions and mandatory sterilization.

Today we are going to take our first look at Obama’s Regulatory Czar, the wildest one so far, Cass Sunstein.

We say first look because this guy is so far out of touch with what most sane and rational people think that we simply couldn’t cover him in one single article.

So in this report we are going to take a look at Cass Sunstein’s bid to replace Ezekiel Emanuel as the Angel Of Death of the Obama administration.

On second thought, perhaps they are working together.

Emanuel wants to withhold medical treatment from “non-productive” members of society.

And Sunstein doesn’t feel it’s necessary to wait for someone to die before deciding to remove their organs.

Sounds like something out of an old movie about Nazi concentration camps doesn’t it?

If only that were the case.

In his 2008 book “Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health,Wealth And Happiness”, Sunstein had this to say regarding the issue of organ donation:

“The state owns the rights to body parts of people who are dead or in certain hopeless conditions, and it can remove their organs without asking anyone’s permission.”
“Though it may sound grotesque, routine removal is not impossible to defend.”
“In theory, it would save lives, and it would do so without intruding on anyone who has any prospect for life.”

So if top members of the Obama administration have their way, if I have a loved one who is terminally ill, not only will they be denied treatment, but the decision to harvest their organs, while they are still alive, can be made without my permission?

If that is the case, I would strongly suggest an additional provision to Obama’s health care reform bill.

And that would be to make sure that I am handcuffed to a chair with a gun held to my head before you try it.

Thanks to Barack Obama, that battle is about to enter a new phase.

With the appointment of John Holdren as Science Czar, the President has added a entirely new dimension to the question of a woman’s right to choose vs. the rights of the unborn.

If Holdren has his way, these decisions will no longer be made by pregnant women, instead they will be made by the government.

Take a look at some direct quotes from a book Holdren co-authored entitled Ecoscience:

Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.

In other words, if the government decides that it is in the best interests of society that you have an abortion, then you will, by law, be requires to have one.

Howver, not if you can’t become pregnant:

Adding a sterilant to drinking water or staple foods is a suggestion that seems to horrify people more than most proposals for involuntary fertility control.
Indeed, this would pose some very difficult political, legal, and social questions, to say nothing of the technical problems.
No such sterilant exists today, nor does one appear to be under development.
To be acceptable, such a substance would have to meet some rather stiff requirements: it must be uniformly effective, despite widely varying doses received by individuals, and despite varying degrees of fertility and sensitivity among individuals; it must be free of dangerous or unpleasant side effects; and it must have no effect on members of the opposite sex, children, old people, pets, or livestock.

Once again, a member of the Obama administration proves to be a visionary.
Who needs to worry about abortions if a woman is unable to become pregnant in the first place?
As far as pets, if there are too many cats, we’ll let the SPCA worry about that.

Of course, some of you radicals may object to such drastic measures.
If that is the case, Holdren proposed an alternative plan:

A program of sterilizing women after their second or third child, despite the relatively greater difficulty of the operation than vasectomy, might be easier to implement than trying to sterilize men. 
The development of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin and removed when pregnancy is desired opens additional possibilities for coercive fertility control. The capsule could be implanted at puberty and might be removable, with official permission, for a limited number of births.

See how simple that is?
If you want to have a baby, all you have to do is get permission from the government!

Of course, as with everything the government does, there will be some conditions:

If some individuals contribute to general social deterioration by overproducing children, and if the need is compelling, they can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility—just as they can be required to exercise responsibility in their resource-consumption patterns—providing they are not denied equal protection.

So if there is something about you or your family background that some government bureacrat deems undesirable, maybe you can get a voucher for a free puppy.
Rememer, Holdren doesn’t want to sterilize pets, only people.

Let’s say that, despite Holdrens’ apparent wishes, you do manage to procreate.
What happens when your offspring reaches school age?

Don’t worry about it.
The Obama administration has you covered.
Keep in mind that he has appointed Kevin Jennings as “Safe Schools” Czar, a top position in our nation’s educational system.

Again, some of you real radicals may have a problem with a school’s cirriculum being overseen by a man who ignored the homosexual statutory rape of a fifteen year old boy.

Just quit your complaining, after all, the government gave you permission to have a child, what more do you want?

Earlier this week we reported on the possible racist leanings of “Diversity Czar” Mark Lloyd.
Someone in charge of “diversity” at the FCC who stated:
“We’re in a position where you have to say who is going to step down so that someone else can have power.”

You can draw your own conclusions about that one.

Today we have Kevin Jennings, founder of GLSEN (Gay,Lesbian, Straight Education Network), Obama’s appointment for “Safe Schools” Czar.

A man who not only failed to report to authorities a case of homsexual statutory rape, he actually encouraged the young victim on how to participate!

From an editorial in the Washington Times:

In this one case in which Mr. Jennings had a real chance to protect a young boy from a sexual predator, he not only failed to do what the law required but actually encouraged the relationship.

According to Mr. Jennings’ own description in a new audiotape discovered by Fox News, the 15-year-old boy met the “older man” in a “bus station bathroom” and was taken to the older man’s home that night.
When some details about the case became public, Mr. Jennings threatened to sue another teacher who called his failure to report the statutory rape “unethical.”
Mr. Jennings’ defenders asserted that there was no evidence that he was aware the student had sex with the older man.

However, the new audiotape contradicts this claim.
In 2000, Mr. Jennings gave a talk to the Iowa chapter of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, an advocacy group that promotes homosexuality in schools.
On the tape, Mr. Jennings recollected that he told the student to make sure “to use a condom” when he was with the older man. That he actively encouraged the relationship is reinforced by Mr. Jennings’ own description in his 1994 book, “One Teacher in 10.”
In that account, the teacher boasts how he allayed the student’s concerns about the relationship to such a degree that the 15-year-old “left my office with a smile on his face that I would see every time I saw him on the campus for the next two years, until he graduated.”

Promoting gay rights is one thing.
Failing to take action when a sexual predator takes advantage of a 15 year old boy is an entirely different matter.

However, that is only part of the story of Kevin Jennings.

President Obama appointing Jennings to be Safe Schools Czar may be a way of thanking Jennings for his work on the Obama campaign.
He was the co-chair of fundraising for the Obama campaign in the “lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered” (LGBT) community, as was reported last year on World Net Daily.

It also happens that Jennings has an association of sorts with another of Obama’s old friends.

I have to warn you that if you click on the link at the end of this sentence, some of the content is pretty graphic, but if you can handle it, read about the connection between Kevin Jennings and Obama’s old crony William Ayers.

If you are still with us, click here to read an excellent article on GLSEN and it’s influence on children.

All of that aside, Mr. Jennings himself has stated that he handled the situation with the 15 year old boy who was being preyed upon, “poorly.”

It is even within the realm of possibility (though it’s not very likely) that President Obama wasn’t aware of Jenning’s encouragement of a sexual relationship between a child and an older man when he appointed Jennings as “Safe Schools” Czar.

However, now that it has come to light, as well as the fact that Jennings should have been charged with a felony for failing to report this atrocity to members of law-enforcement, why hasn’t President Obama demanded Jennings’ resignation?
