Cop not Obama helps disabled Prof. Gates
Cop not Obama helps disabled Prof. Gates

This picture was an official picture released by the Obama White House.

Results of the Beer Meeting: Priesident Obama did not apologize for his remark calling the police “stupid”. Professor Gates demanded and not get an apology from Sgt. Crowley.

from The American Thinker blog:


“I am stunned that the official White House Blog published this picture and that it is in the public domain. The body language is most revealing.

Sergeant Crowley, the sole class act in this trio, helps the handicapped Professor Gates down the stairs, while Barack Obama, heedless of the infirmities of his friend and fellow victim of self-defined racial profiling, strides ahead on his own. So who is compassionate? And who is so self-involved and arrogant that he is oblivious?

In my own dealings with the wealthy and powerful, I have always found that the way to quickly capture the moral essence of a person is to watch how they treat those who are less powerful. Do they understand that the others are also human beings with feelings? Especially when they think nobody is looking.

Update from Thomas Lifson:

I think this photo constitutes another major Obama blunder.

As some AT commentators point out, this picture becomes a metaphor for ObamaCare. The elderly are left in the back, with only the kindness of the Crowleys of the world, the stand up guys, to depend on. The government has other priorities.

One of the major subtexts of the health care debate involves the public’s fear of indifferent, powerful bureaucrats ruling their lives. It is one thing to wait in line at the DMV to find out which other line you should wait in, in order to begin the process of waiting for multiple bureaucrats to go through the motions of processing your request. I have spent entire afternoons going through this process.

But when we get to health care, waiting often means enduring pain and dysfunction longer than necessary, sometimes a worsening of the condition, and sometimes death.

That’s why I think this image will have genuine resonance. It captures something that older Americans in particular can relate to. The President presses ahead with a program that will tell them to take painkillers instead of getting that artificial hip.

At every stage of the entire Gates affair, Obama has provided a revealing tell. The “acted stupidly” blunder revealed that he automatically blames the police and thinks they really are stupid to begin with. It didn’t trigger a single alarm bell in his mind as he figured out what to say.

Then, the non-apology apology revealed an arrogant man who cannot do what honest people do: admit it when they make a mistake.

Now at stage three, the beer photo op looked OK. It didn’t turn into a disaster.

But then in a small moment that nobody in the White House had the brains to understand, Obama goes and send a body language message like this.

I think he is going to get deeper and deeper into trouble. He is no longer repeating the familiar scripts dreamed up for the campaign. He was a master performer.

But when he goes improv, as a president must do, he lets his true character show. This helps widen the level of doubt that Obama is the same guy a majority voted for. Those doubts can only grow.

Andrew McCarthy has assembled an overwhelming case that Obama has lied about who he is. I predict that more and more Americans will become open to the argument that they have been had by a sophisticated and ruthless effort to foist a phony on America.

Obama state-run Govt GM cars coming soon! Get on board! www.freedomOK.net/wordpress

Obama state-run Govt GM cars?

Based on facts from GM’s Tax Shelter story in the Wall Street Journal, July 31, 2009, A16 and comments from a recent Rush Limbaugh show. Written by Cameron Jackson cameronjacks@gmail.com

Obama has the state-run press in his hip pocket. And now he has a state-owned car company to run. General Motors should be called state-run Govt GM. What’s a President to do once he has a state-run car company to manage?

As a result of the car bailout, the Obama government owns General Motors 61% and the other 39% is owned by United Auto Workers retirement health care trust. Obama and his car czar gave Govt. GM a sweet deal — the company can claim a tax benefit from some $16 billion of net operating losses. This will allow Obama’s Govt. GM to not pay taxes for years to come. Wow. No taxes for Obama’s state-run car company!

Obama state -run Govt. GM has a huge tax break that no other company has. Obama’s car company is not operating on a level playing field with other car companies. The field is tilted to benefit Govt GM. For years to come, the state-run Govt GM will be able to sell cars and make a profit because of lower overhead.

Now that Obama has a car business what’s he going to do with it? Per Rush Limbaugh, Obama’s overall strategy is clear — weaken the private sector and grow the public sector. Obama’s strategy is to return the country to its rightful owners — the oppressed masses that have been exploited all these years.

What will the state-run Obama Govt. GM cars look like? They will be white because white cars stay much cooler. Also, white is not a threatening color as the color black can be. So no black Obama Govt GM cars. Some shades off white will be ok as well. If Obama Govt GM offers another color it will be substantially higher in price so that the customer pays for their “carbon footprint” at the time of purchase.

And the Obama Govt GM cars will be quite small. And streamlined so as to maximize fuel efficiency. Probably on the order of half the size of a VW beetle. Probably shaped like a beetle too — as that was aerodynamic for its time. On the other hand, there are all sorts of “smart” shapes out there for Obama to choose.

And who will buy the state-run Govt GM cars? When the price of gas goes above $5+ a gallon and Obama expands its Swap Your Clunker for a New Car program — that’s when lots of Americans will buy state-run OBama Govt GM cars. At least, so Obama dreams.

Remember all those those people who bought huge SUVs with no payment down and years to pay? That was back when gas was cheap. Now those people cannot afford those SUVs. And, especially for those who have lost their jobs or only work part-time, it really hurts their pocket book to drive vehicles that get 12 gal. to the mile.

This is why it is important news discussed by Rush Limbaugh today that Obama seeks bipartisan support for the Turn in Your Clunker Plan. Obama has big plans for how to run the country. And how to get Americans to drive a certain kind of car. Coming soon! Watch for them! Thousands of small, white beetles with head and tail lights shaped in an Obama Smile.

In his book, Dreams of My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, Obama discusses a tactic that he used dealing with white people: Just smile, be courteous and be very well mannered. Likewise, the Obama state-run Govt GM cars will be white, smile with their chrome headlights, and they will be courteous and well mannered (as they cannot accelerate fast). Dream on Obama! Dream on.

Reasons why a CA psychologist opposes Obama’s health care “reform” plan: One Party control and …www.freedomOK.net/wordpress

Obama Health Plan "Reform"?

To: Congressman Sam Farr (for Monterey and Santa Cruz County, CA)
From: Dr. Cameron Jackson, licensed psychologist

I am opposed to the current the Health Care Reform bill which Speaker Pelosi and the Democratic leadership offer Americans. I am worried and concerned how you, Mr. Farr, may vote because per your web site statistics you vote the Democratic Party line 98% of the time.

Now is the time that you, Mr. Farr, need to show independence from the Democratic Party line. Right now America is under one party rule by the Democratic Party. That is not healthy. The basic Robert’s Rules of Order that protect the minority Republican and Independent positions are not respected by Congress. Nancy Pelosi, the Rules Committee and members of Congress need to read or re-read Democracy in America by DeTocqueville. Protect the rights of the minority to speak! Have real debate! And please Mr. Farr don’t push bills down the throats of Americans just because of One Party Rule.

One question every American should pose and which I ask you: do you plan to give up your private health care coverage which all members of Congress get and use the same health care plan that the Democrats offer? If your answer Mr. Farr is No, that you plan to keep your private insurance plan — then the health care plan proposed by Obama and the Democrats is not good enough for We the People whom you represent.

I strongly oppose governmental interference in the health care decisions that people now make with their doctors. Of note in the current bill: The bill requires that medical doctors must have end of life and end of care discussions every 5 years.

I strongly oppose the government – at one swoop — taking over a fifth of the economy. The health care sector amounts to about 20 percent of the economy. The government does not have a good record for keeping down costs nor running anything efficiently.

New business need to grow on shoe-string budgets. This plan will drive small business out of business and prevent new ones from starting. With all the unemployed who have enormous talents and capabilities we need to do everything we can to encourage new business. Saddling on small businesses required costs for medical care is simply dumb.

Each person is a unique person with a unique medical history. Deciding whether to have surgery or not – whether to have chemo or not — is best done without government interference. Do we want the “compassion” of the IRS and the Department of Motor Vehicles affecting important medical decisions? No, we want the compassion and clinical judgment of our doctors without government interference.
