Cash for Ambassadorship vs Senate seat – I’m confused


Jake Tapper has a great article on how many big donors got rewarded with Ambassordships from Barry for contributing LARGE sum of money to his election campaign.   Here’s the link.

Can someone tell me the different when Barry get’s large campaign cash and gives these folks an Ambassadorship and then when Blago try’s the same thing with Burris and Jessie Jr…Blago get’s impeached and possible prison time?  Are not these the same…PAYGO!!!


It’s another Sunday did Obama find his church or his golf course?


It’s clear to me that after 6 months in office that Barry hasn’t had time to find a church that he and Michelle could worship in.  I’m thinking maybe the golf games might be getting in his way.  Searching the web sites I can only fine one occurence of him attending a Sunday Service and that was on Easter Sundy.  I did find plenty of references to the President playing golf.  Now, I’ve got nothing against golf but I do place at a higher priority, especially if it’s a Sunday morning.

I keep thinking back to his speech in Turkey that America is not a Christian country and I wonder why would he say that, especially since 76% of Americans believe in God.  I’m finally come to the conclusion that he can say that because HE truly believes that.  Of course, he does not speak for the vast majority of us.  He might be POTUS but he has no right speaking for 76% of us who believe in a higher authority.

I can only assume that 20 yrs sitting in the pews listening to Rev Wright one can get that impression.  But that is between God and POTUS.  One thing is for sure, President Obama at some point in time, will have to answer to the All Mighty.  If if still feels that way when his time on this earth is over “May God have mercy on his soul”.


This should not be ignored – Power+money=Blackmail


For for the RS readers who have not read Newsbuster transcript of the WJR’s Frank Beckman and Tom Lauria, attorney for most of (at the moment) Chrysler’s non-TARP creditors this is chilling and should be spread across the US.  If Mr Lauria’s account is accurate then the Executive Branch has committed a “high crime”.  Here’s a small portion of the interview that I found compelling.

I can tell you for sure that I represent one less investor today than I represented yesterday. One of my clients was directly threatened by the White House, and in essence compelled to withdraw its opposition to the deal under threat that the full force of the White House press corps would destroy its reputation if it continued to fight. That’s how hard it is to stand on this side of the fence.

Beckman: Was that Perella Weinberg?

Lauria: That was Perella Weinberg.

Yesterday the AP had this story on Ms. Weinberg.

Perella Weinberg Partners today issued the following statement regarding its
Xerion Fund and Xerion`s Senior Secured investment in Chrysler: 

"The Perella Weinberg Partners` Xerion Fund has today agreed to the Chrysler
settlement offer extended yesterday to the Secured Lender Group. We believe that
this is in the best interests of all Chrysler stakeholders, and our own
investors and partners. We are working with other non-TARP Lenders to encourage
broad participation in the settlement." 

The firm has no further comment. 

If you follow the money and the power struggles then you will find the crime.
It's human nature.  

If this is true and can be proving then the "I" word needs to be introduced?
