Am I the only one who cringes every time I hear the Democrats claim that the Republicans single-handedly plunged America into an ocean of debt and fiscal despair? If we’re going to be real, no matter where we are ideologically, we must accept the fact that both parties played a part in bringing us to this juncture. Last week, in response to House Minority Leader John Boehner’s insinuation that President Obama’s economic team step down and that the Bush tax cuts should be renewed indefinitely, Biden had plenty to say. According to CNN,
Biden echoed the Democratic message that aims to remind Americans that Republicans held power in the run-up to the recent economic downturn.
First and foremost, the Democrats must be suffering from short-term memory loss. It was in 2006 that Republicans suffered the same fate the Democrats appear poised to endure this November – midterm losses. Thus, Democrats have actually “held power” since 2006 (not 2008 as they incessantly attempt to reinforce). Unfortunately, the left’s cronies appear to be more concerned with political posturing than actually tackling the issues at hand (and I’m not saying that Republicans are perfect by any measure).
Bush and Congress overspent (though I truly liked Bush’s leadership style – and his overall demeanor). Obama (and Congress, again) are, collectively, a money spewing machine. At the end of the day, all parties are responsible, as are the American people for enabling such irresponsibility. Both parties: Take responsibly. America: Let’s make our voices heard in November. It’s time we address our financial burden – before it’s too late. For a non-partisan explanation of our nation’s fiscal woes, consult “Our Fiscal Future.”
Debbie Schlussel produced a piece you can’t miss on this ridiculously unjournalistic scandal. According to Schlussel:
Read the piece and sign the petition to make the LA Times release this tape to the public.
My Fellow Americans:
Why is the LA Times suppressing a video tape that allegedly shows Barack Obama at a party with — you guessed it — questionable attendees (i.e. Bill Ayers, Rashid Khalidi and others)? Americans want the truth. One of the most important elections of our time is only one week away and there is still so much being left unsaid. With this in mind, this petition respectfully asks the Los Angeles Times to release the aformentioned tape that may shed further light on Barack Obama’s associations. After all, if there is nothing to hide, then releasing the tape is harmless, right?
The tape in question contains footage of Barack Obama at a goodbye “bash” for “…Rashid Khalidi, an internationally known scholar, critic of Israel and advocate for Palestinian rights, who was leaving town for a job in New York…” (Peter Wallsten, LA Times).
Andrew C. McCarthy rightfully asks, “Why is the Los Angeles Times sitting on a videotape of the 2003 farewell bash in Chicago at which Barack Obama lavished praise on the guest of honor, Rashid Khalidi — former mouthpiece for master terrorist Yasser Arafat?”
According to sources, aside from praising Khalidi, Obama hinted at frequent dinner-table discussions with Khalidi and his wife, while event speakers and attendees bashed Israel. Perhaps most disturbingly, former domestic terrorist Bill Ayers (also an alleged attendee) and Rashid Khalidi are apparently best friends, which provides yet another connection in the endless chain of questionable associations.
If you want a more in-depth analysis of the situation, be sure to check out Andrew C. McCarthy’s piece entitled, “The L.A. Times Suppresses Obama’s Khalidi Bash Tape” (National Review Online).
Please sign this petition and send it to as many friends, family members and associates as you possibly can. Visit my web site, as I will be covering this story throughout the week.
