Barack Obama on Race, Faith and Leadership 1990-


"At times of economic scarcity, generally the politicians in this country right now want to look for scapegoats. want to organize around race as opposed to around principle and around values....I think that is a mistake."

Speech on Race  3/18/2008

It was a tough Primary, but the criteria was made clear on T Shirts and the Net by Democrats

My Conversation with Sunday Alabi

My Conversation with Sunday Alabi

Barack Obama’s campaign has knowingly used a front company, Citizen Services Inc., to steer money to a community organization with a history of political shenanigans and campaign violations, ACORN. We had the story first and have highlighted ACORN’s mischief (see here and take a look at Nancy’s piece on ACORN.) and David Brown of the Pittsburgh Tribune fleshed it out. The Obama campaign told Pittsburgh Tribune reporter, David Brown, that they made a simple mistake in labeling. That is a lie. How do I know? Because I spoke to a board member of Citizen Services in July, before any of this became public. My quest to understand why Barack Obama’s campaign spent almost $1 million dollars on Citizen Services Inc. started with a search of the public corporate records for Citizen Services. I learned that one of the Directors was a man listed as Sunday Alibi (sic). I did subsequent searches for Mr. Alibi and learned that his real name is Sunday Oladimeji Alabi. Alabi not Alibi. Here is the corporate information:

My search for Mr. “Alibi” uncovered several variations of his name:
Sunday L. Alabi
Sunday
O. Alabi
Alabi
O. Sunday
Ahagi Sunday
Sunday
Oladimeji Alabi
Thanks to the internet I finally tracked him down in Minnesota and gave him a call. Mr. Alabi answered the phone and I introduced myself using my real name. But I did tell a white lie–I said I got his name and number from Bob Shrum at the Democratic National Committee. He hesitated. When I repeated that I got his name and number from the DNC he brightened up and became quite chatty. Using the Obama FEC filing as my guide I told Mr. Alabi that I needed to hire Citizen Services to help my campaign with “Staging, Sound, and Lighting.” Without a moments hesitation Mr. Alabi told me, “we don’t do that.” He went on to identify ACORN as the organization that handles those matters and he told me to contact Marc Seiden (he gave me a cell phone number for Mr. Seiden, which is a District of Columbia cell phone).
Citizen Services is a paper organization. What does that mean? It has no employees and no office space. It does not advertise its services. And it shares a physical address in New Orleans with ACORN. It appears to be no more than a front or cut out used to move money in order to obscure the final expenditure. Let’s see the invoices Citizen Services submitted to the Obama campaign. There is no doubt the money initially went to Citizen Services. The question is, what did the money actually buy? And, who was the ultimate recipient?

"ACORN is headquartered at the same address 1024 Elysian Fields Ave, in the city of New Orleans, in the state of Louisiana as the Citizens Consulting Inc;"  ACORN is headquartered at the same address 1024 Elysian Fields Ave, in the city of New Orleans, in the state of Louisiana

ACORN and Obama redux? The MSM wont even try to connect the dots from OWS to the Whitehouse.

My investigation of Occupy Wall Street lead to a few strange places.  The Atlas Project Advisory Board

Jon Youngdahl is the Chief of Staff at SEIU. He was the union’s National Political Director, leading an aggressive effort to bolster President Obama’s campaign and pass health care reform. He has been a top political organizer for years.

  • Mary Beth Cahill co-founded The Atlas Project after running John Kerry’s presidential campaign in 2004. (For over five years, she served as Executive Director of SOROS's  EMILY's List, the nation's largest political action committee). She served in the Clinton Administration and as Chief of Staff to Congressman Barney Frank and Senator Ted Kennedy. She currently serves as Director of the Washington Office and Assistant to the President for the United Auto Workers.
  • Monica Dixon is a general consultant for Monica Dixon Consulting and is helping lead Majority PAC, a super-PAC created to aid Senate Democrats in 2012. She served as the Deputy Chief of Staff to former Vice President Al Gore.
  • Maria Echaveste served as assistant to the President and Deputy Chief of Staff for President Clinton and Director of Public Liaison at the White House. She is currently a Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress and a co-founder of the Nueva Vista Group, a policy, legislative strategy and advocacy group working with non-profit and corporate clients.
     

A few samples from the board. Soros, SEIU and the Democratic Party at Atlas Project that sells election products and services. Now examine the clients and partner list. Atlas Project Partner List

All the talk from the progressives about the ALEC, Citizen's United and the Rush Limbaugh boogeyman will garner all the MSM attention. I will follow the real power and money.  The Atlas Project, among others, has my attention.

 
Jon Youngdahl, SEIU Chief of Staff    ATLAS PROJECT

MMFA- When Democrats Play Math With Obamacare

 
 Right-Wing Media Falsely Claim Cost Of Health Care Law Has Doubled

Media Matters and their muppets come to the defense of the White House and Obamacare. They change gross cost to net cost, change all the cost and revenue assumptions and DROP MILLIONS OF PEOPLE FROM COVERAGE from the previous years estimate. Those dropped go back on Government programs like Medicare, increasing those costs. The left wing propaganda machine reports this as saving billions more. Estimated cost 900 billion. Current  "rosey" CBO guess 1.1 trillion.  Just look at the savings.  



 
MMFA MATH, GROSS COMPARED TO NET


CBO: Obamacare Twice As Expensive As Projected  CBO: Obamacare Twice As Expensive As Projected   as reported at Breitbart.


GROSS VERSUS NET COST
"By reducing the estimated net 2012-2021 costs to $1.083 trillion from $1.131 trillion a year ago, the CBO report could help Democrats blunt some of the criticism over the high costs of extending coverage to some 47 million uninsured Americans, as they try to tout savings elsewhere in the law.
These cost reductions are largely due to lower estimates for subsidies and tax credits associated with the law's planned insurance exchanges for individual coverage.
They also include higher revenues from penalties and the tax effects of higher taxable income, as private employers drop health insurance plans in favor of extra compensation for employees to buy insurance via the exchanges.
But the analysis also projected that some 4 million fewer people will obtain insurance through employers or through the insurance exchanges promoted by the healthcare law by 2016 than estimated a year ago.
Many of those people will need to be covered by government-run Medicaid program for the poor, causing higher Medicaid costs to eat into savings elsewhere." 
"Before the revenue and tax effects, the gross cost for that period hits a new high: $1.762 trillion, and Republicans wasted little time in pouncing on it and the lower coverage estimate."


DOUBLECOUNT
 "During a hearing on Capitol Hill Thursday, the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) admitted to double-counting in the Obamacare budget.
In her first appearance before the House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee since the health-care law passed, Kathleen Sebelius responded to a line of questioning by Republican Rep. John Shimkus of Illinois about whether $500 billion in Medicare cuts were used to sustain the program or pay for the law.
“There is an issue here on the budget because your own actuary has said you can’t double-count,” said Shimkus. “You can’t count — they’re attacking Medicare on the CR when their bill, your law, cut $500 billion from Medicare.”
He continued: “Then you’re also using the same $500 billion to what? Say your funding health care. Your own actuary says you can’t do both. […] What’s the $500 billion in cuts for? Preserving Medicare or funding the health-care law?
Sebelius’ reply? “Both.' "  HHS Secretary Sebelius admits to double-counting in Obamacare budget 

RAIDING TRUST FUNDS
"CBO estimates that the Hospital Insurance (HI) Trust Fund, which pays for care provided at hospitals and post-acute care services will have a zero balance in 2022.  In 2012, the balance in this fund was $246 billion.  Balances in this fund are projected to drop quickly in the coming years with a balance of CBO Reduces Estimate of Increase in Medicare Spending by $69 Billion Over 10 Years 
  • $221 billion at the end of 2012;
  • $185 billion at the end of 2013;
  • $148 billion at the end of 2014;
  • $120 billion at the end of 2015;
  • $93 billion at the end of 2016;
  • $73 billion at the end of 2017;
  • $59 billion at the end of 2018;
  • $42 billion at the end of 2019;
  • $25 billion at the end of 2020; and
  • $6 billion at the end of 2021.  
 Raid a Trust Fund?


Media Matters and the usual suspects on the left continue to lie about the costs of Obamacare. Their FRAUD of an argument changes gross to net and drops millions of patients from coverage, as well as reductions in costs and increased revenues.  The rest of Obamacare IS BASED ON THE MODEL OF 'THE CLASS ACT'. Where do these patient's cost go?

Another attempt by the left to pretend that the ACA (Obamacare) is good for the country and the citizens. The Democrats dont believe in real math, honest debate or budgets.

The White House and Obama are trying every trick in the book to get the unconstitutional mandate passed.  Obama shifts healthcare defense 


#mediamatters #obamacare #mmfa #ACA #classact #obama2012 #grossversusnet

If it costs a dollar and I pay a quarter that I have and borrow 75 cents to buy it. It still costs at least a dollar.Now about that interest on the money and the costs that EXCEED the current 1.8 trillion dollar estimate.

Occupy, the Coverage has been Comical

The Media's guide to protestors 
Times person of the year.

 Without recycling cliche' and writing about the coverage of occupy Wall Street and the propaganda machine behind it, I thought it was time for a "comic" look at occupy and the left.












Times Person of the Year. Teaparty didnt make the list in 2010











 I wonder what the press would find if they bothered to report on the occupy movement















What is going to happen when they run out of scapegoats on the right?
 Hollywood, the music industry, the schools push the same agenda.
 Occupy, Many messages hide the hate.
 Anarchy and Class War-
 You cite the wealthy have increased their wealth 270 percent in the last 30 years. Education has gone up over 300 percent. Protest Academia.
 Glad you hate capitalism and freedom. Your alliance with Islamafacism and the Arab Spring wasn't that surprising. They hate America too.








.
Amazing what the press covers. High Unemployment, No Budget
 If you really had a clue Occupiers, you would have been in the streets when the teaparty sprang into action. Proving again that Occupy is a fraud.
The Anon hacker meme will make you legit. Get the Flock out of here.






















We watch this movie clip from 1970 about a "direct action" at a college university. We hear the arguments rehashed by Occupy today. Just a bit rescripted  by the likes of Joseph Stiglitz Occupy Wall Street - Scripted by Global Banking Interests 


If just requires a few bad actors from the new left.


Occupy, get the picture?  The Attack on Scott Olsen @ Occupy Oakland - Propaganda or MORE?
