Michelle Obama Has 26 Paid Assistants, More Than Any First Lady In History
According to Canada Free Press, Michelle Obama has more paid assistants than any First Lady in U.S. history. The total combined salaries of her 26 assistants is $1,750,000 per year paid for by tax payers. That does not include the cost of the lavish benefits package each one also receives.
When compared to past First Ladies, Michelle Obama is so far out of the norm it’s actually stunning.
Hillary Clinton = 3 assistants
Laura Bush = 1 assistant
Jackie Kennedy = 1 assistant
Michelle Obama = 26 assistants
It sounds like Michelle is doing a hell of a lot behind the scenes that we don’t know about to need that many assistants. Congress should look into this and find out what she’s up to.
I know, I know, I’m racist for bringing this up. So be it.
Video: Rep. Pete Stark Calls Bush A Liar Twice On House Floor
Democrats in the House are planning a full dog and pony show for the American people today when they formally discipline Rep. Joe Wilson. They plan to formally pass a resolution condemning his outburst and condemning him.
Granted, the resolution means nothing and has no punishment other than a few nasty looks from Nancy “Stretch” Pelosi, but it will make for good theater.
Since democrats are acting particularly sanctimonious about Wilson and pretending they’ve never seen anyone call the president a liar before, let’s take a trip down memory lane…
Here’s big-time jerk Rep. Pete Stark calling President Bush a liar on the floor of the House not once — but twice.
Do you smell that? It’s the foul stench of hypocrisy in the air. What Joe Wilson said is laughable compared to what this scumbag said.

Why are we paying Brazil to develop their natural resources while blocking the development of our own?
Because we have nutty left-wing assholes in power, that’s why.

Media Hypocrisy On Health Care Protests Is Grotesque
The media’s reaction to the health care protests has been so hypocritical at times, I actually get light headed. The putrid stench of hypocrisy is hanging like a thick cloud over every newsroom in America — with the exception of Fox and a few others.
Besides 9/11, the first thing that comes to mind when I think about the Bush years is protests. You couldn’t turn on the TV without seeing some hippie puke bellowing about the Iraq war or calling Bush a terrorist or war criminal. In fact, I can remember violent, ugly demonstrations that went light years beyond anything we’ve seen thus far over health care.
Bill Sammon has a great piece on FoxNews.com that should help jog the memory about just how scary things actually got during the Bush years — and what the media didn’t say about it:
News outlets that are focusing on the incendiary rhetoric of conservatives outside President Obama’s town hall meeting Tuesday ignored the incendiary rhetoric — and even violence — of liberals outside an appearance by former President George W. Bush in 2002.
When Bush visited Portland, Ore., for a fundraiser, protesters stalked his motorcade, assailed his limousine and stoned a car containing his advisers. Chanting "Bush is a terrorist!", the demonstrators bullied passers-by, including gay softball players and a wheelchair-bound grandfather with multiple sclerosis.
One protester even brandished a sign that seemed to advocate Bush’s assassination. The man held a large photo of Bush that had been doctored to show a gun barrel pressed against his temple.
"BUSH: WANTED, DEAD OR ALIVE," read the placard, which had an X over the word "ALIVE."
Another poster showed Bush’s face with the words: "F— YOU, MOTHERF—ER!"
A third sign urged motorists to "HONK IF YOU HATE BUSH." A fourth declared: "CHRISTIAN FASCISM," with a swastika in place of the letter S in each word.
Although reporters from numerous national news organizations were traveling with Bush and witnessed the protest, none reported that protesters were shrieking at Republican donors epithets like "Slut!" "Whore!" and "Fascists!"
Frank Dulcich, president and CEO of Pacific Seafood Group, had a cup of liquid thrown into his face, and then was surrounded by a group of menacing protesters, including several who wore masks. Donald Tykeson, 75, who had multiple sclerosis and was confined to a wheelchair, was blocked by a thug who threatened him.
No matter how dangerous or extreme the protests got, the media either didn’t report it or downplayed it. You never read headlines about “Angry Mobs” or “Political Terrorists” or anything even remotely close. The media preferred to call them “Activists.”
We all know the mainstream media is liberal as hell and didn’t report honestly on the Bush protests because they agreed with them. I get that, it’s no surprise.
What really chaps my ass is how the media treats the public like a bunch of brain dead jerks who can’t remember from one year to the next.
It’s just so sickeningly phony for the media to feign shock and horror over a few cranky senior citizens upset over health care, when they sat back and said nothing during eight years of the most extreme protesting since the Vietnam war.
I’m not even asking for the media to change, I’m just asking for an acknowledgement of the hypocrisy.

Audio: Hypocrite Schumer Said Back 2004 That Torture Can’t Be Ruled Out
Here’s yet another example of extreme hypocrisy from democrats.
Take a listen to Sen. Charles Schumer endorsing actual torture depending on the situation…
Come on democrats, let’s get those show trials underway. What are you waiting for?
Hypocrisy: Obama Criticizes Signing Statements Under Bush, Then Issues Signing Statement
It has been less than 2 days since president Obama criticized president Bush for issuing signing statements when signing bills into law. Today, he issued one himself.
It was somehow criminal or unethical for Bush to do it, but Obama is merely carrying out his constitutional duties. What an ass clown.
Flashback: In 2006 51% Of Democrats Wanted Bush To Fail
Democrats have been carping about republicans supposedly wanting president Obama to fail based on comments from Rush Limbaugh they knowingly took out of context. But let’s take a trip down memory lane and see how democrats felt about president bush…
If you recall, democrats were quite vocal about their hopes that president Bush would fail and that the surge in Iraq would fail. In fact, they hoped the war in Iraq would fail right from the outset. The left worked towards Bush’s failure from the second he set foot into office to the time he left office. They pelted his car with eggs on inauguration day in 2000 and didn’t let up for 8 years. Hell, they haven’t let up yet and he’s out of office.
In a 2006 poll, when asked whether they wanted to see president Bush succeed or not, here’s the breakdown:
Democrats: 40%(want him to succeed) 51%(want him to fail)
Republicans: 90%(want him to succeed) 7%(want him to fail)
Independents: 63%(want him to succeed) 34%(want him to fail)
Think about this poll and the many other polls just like it next time you hear Rahm Emanuel or some liberal shocked and appalled that anyone would want to see Obama fail (even though Rush was taken out of context and never said that).
History Revisited: Inauguration Costs
Barack Obama’s inauguration will cost at least $130 million dollars making it by far the most expensive in American history. That doesn’t particularly bother me given the circumstances except for one thing — the hypocrisy of it all.
Liberals howled after Bush’s re-election in 2004. His inauguration cost was a record $55 million which is chump change compared to Barry’s. Salon.com argued that because of the unpopularity and cost of the Iraq war it was inappropriate to have such a lavish event.
I would argue that because the economy is on the brink of collapse and the country is dead broke, it seems more than a little inappropriate to spend more than $100 million dollars on a glitzy star studded inauguration.

Rapper Nas Leads Protest Of Fox News, Calls Network Racist
Rapper Nas led a rather humorous protest in front of Fox News headquarters today. TV Newser among others was there to get in on the action.
The hip-hop star joined about 50 protesters, (less than another anti-FNC protest in 2004) from two organizations: ColorofChange.org and MoveOn.org who called on the network to, “stop its racist smears against the Obamas and other Black Americans.”
The protesters stood quietly for about an hour until Nas appeared, most holding pre-made or hand-made signs. Many Fox News employees came to check out the scene, including Red Eye host Greg Gutfeld and some of the show’s staff. “This is quite possibly the most boring protest ever,” he told us.
But that was before Nas arrived. The hip-hop star emerged from an SUV to a flutter of cameras, made his way to the front of the protesters and gave a short speech, before heading back into the SUV.
Nas’s charge of racism seems oddly timed considering he’s currently promoting his new album called “Nigger.” I’m guessing he missed the irony of the album title as well as his unique fashion choices recently.
