Obama Worship Goes Into Overdrive as 100-Day Mark Approaches
“The Truth” is stranger than fiction. This is not a spoof picture from The Onion or any other satirical website. The image you see to the right (larger version below the fold) is a painting by artist Michael D’Antuono called “The Truth” that will be officially unveiled at Union Square in New York City on April 29 to mark President Barack Obama’s hundreth day in office. Here are the details from the official press release:
Can You Handle ‘The Truth’?
NEW YORK, April 24 /PRNewswire/ — Michael D’Antuono may raise more questions than answers when he unveils his highly controversial new painting, “The Truth” on the South Plaza of NYC’s Union Square on the 100th day of Barack Obama’s presidency. The artist’s politically-, religiously- and socially-charged statement on our nation’s current political climate and deep partisan divide has been privately raising eyebrows (and voices) since its creation. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/p-j-gladnick/2009/04/25/obama-worship-goes-overdrive-100-day-mark-approaches
Just so far over the top as to leave you speechless…after you puke.
Janeane clears up who the protesters are and what motivates them…no it is not having all their tax dollars being given to rich fat cats that bankrupted their companies and, in part, created the economic crisis. Nor is it the fact that their children and grandchildren will be overtaxed to pay for these bailouts. It isn’t even the that Obama and his $12 TRILLION dollar debt is great than the national debt from George Washington to George W Bush COMBINED.
The Townshend Acts were a series of acts passed beginning in 1767 by the Parliament of Great Britain relating to the British colonies in North America.
The Townshend Acts met with resistance in the colonies, prompting the occupation of Boston by British troops in 1768, which eventually resulted in the Boston Massacre of 1770.
The British government continued in its attempt to tax the colonists without their consent, however, which led to the Boston Tea Party and the American Revolution.

In October 2008 the House passes $700 billion Bankster Bailout Bill. President Bush immediately signs it into law. The Executive Branch now has unrestricted control over who gets what for bailouts.
In March 2009 President Barack Obama’s $787 billion economic stimulus package has been passed by Congress. Without even being read by our elected ‘representatives’. Giving millions in bonuses to AIG executives, and BILLIONS to foreign banks.
On April 2nd 2009 Congressional Democrats embraced President Obama’s ambitious and expensive agenda for the nation endorsed a $3.5-trillion spending plan.
On April 15th 2009 in every state of the union Americans of all political stripes protested the the wasteful spending of their tax dollars by BOTH administrations and the Congress that does not listen to their constituents any better than they read before voting to spend OUR money.
The Boston Tea Party of 1773 was triggered by a 3 cent tax increase…
The original Boston Tea Party, an event which energized the drive for American independence, was triggered by a three penny per pound increase in the price of tea. According to Jane Cook, writing at Townhall.com, this today would be like being forced to shell out $9.98 for a pound of Starbuck’s Pike Place Roast instead of $9.95.

The Tea Party’s of 2009 were triggered by Trillions of tax dollars being wasted.
Obama Wants to Control the Banks
There’s a reason he refuses to accept repayment of TARP money.
I must be naive. I really thought the administration would welcome the return of bank bailout money. Some $340 million in TARP cash flowed back this week from four small banks in Louisiana, New York, Indiana and California. This isn’t much when we routinely talk in trillions, but clearly that money has not been wasted or otherwise sunk down Wall Street’s black hole. So why no cheering as the cash comes back?
My answer: The government wants to control the banks, just as it now controls GM and Chrysler, and will surely control the health industry in the not-too-distant future. Keeping them TARP-stuffed is the key to control. And for this intensely political president, mere influence is not enough. The White House wants to tell ‘em what to do. Control. Direct. Command.
…
Here’s a true story first reported by my Fox News colleague Andrew Napolitano (with the names and some details obscured to prevent retaliation). Under the Bush team a prominent and profitable bank, under threat of a damaging public audit, was forced to accept less than $1 billion of TARP money. The government insisted on buying a new class of preferred stock which gave it a tiny, minority position. The money flowed to the bank. Arguably, back then, the Bush administration was acting for purely economic reasons. It wanted to recapitalize the banks to halt a financial panic.
Fast forward to today, and that same bank is begging to give the money back. The chairman offers to write a check, now, with interest. He’s been sitting on the cash for months and has felt the dead hand of government threatening to run his business and dictate pay scales. He sees the writing on the wall and he wants out. But the Obama team says no, since unlike the smaller banks that gave their TARP money back, this bank is far more prominent. The bank has also been threatened with “adverse” consequences if its chairman persists. That’s politics talking, not economics.

Obama is going to take over control of the financial system in this country and will control this country for his political allies…forget about voting him out in 2012…if at all.
