Crony 2012
The cronies have become too powerful. Liberals show them favoritism at every turn in order to get their financial support, and to have their union friends protest and picket in front of the cameras. Even though the unions represent a small sliver of American workers, their power over Obama is tremendous:
- Unions worked out back room deals for ObamaCare carve outs and exemptions
- Union bosses get rich off of hundreds of thousands of dollars in salaries by forcing middle class workers to pay monthly dues
- Union bosses meet and talk with the White House every day in secret
Memorial Day visit interrupted for a photo op...
Today is Memorial Day and I went to the Vietnam Memorial and something happened there that upset me greatly and I want to pass it on.
For over 15 years I had been going with my dear Marine buddy, Larry Cullen. Since he passed away last year and was interned at Arlington Cemetery, I went this year accompanied by my grandson, Cameron. I had my list of Recon Marines, school classmates, and Larry's fallen buddies to visit but, as we got close to the area of the National Mall where the Wall is located, we saw huge white tents. We also saw barricades all along Constitution Ave and for a couple blocks in each direction from the Wall. They even closed down all of Constitution Av from the Lincoln Memorial all the way to the WW-II Memorial and there was a virtual army of uniformed and plain-clothes security everywhere.
The biggest tent was right at the west end of the Wall entrance and there was a covered walkway leading right up to The Wall. It was so close, you couldn't get to the Wall on that side so, my grandson and I went all the way around to the eastern entrance to the Wall and walked down along the Wall to the first of my names and I began telling my grandson about my buddies and how each one died. In short order, a guy in a dark suit and earpiece in his ear told us we had to leave as it was 0730 and they were closing Memorial until at least 1400 so the President could drop by. I asked if he was serious and he assured me he was. We and all the other veterans and families were forced to leave and it was locked down.
The Vietnam Memorial is the most visited site on the entire National Mall. Memorial Day has more visitors to the Vietnam Memorial than almost any other day. Even at the rather early hour Cameron and I were there, there were a lot of veterans and family members down there. In the midst of all that, Obama decides to close it for over seven hours just so he can roll by for 30 minutes in the afternoon for a campaign appearance with Democrats, supporters, and campaign donors? This is an incredulously arrogant, egotistical, and inconsiderate thing to do. What in hell was Obama thinking?
Hey President Obama: Since you ran me (and all the other veterans and family members) out of the Memorial before we finished our business there, how about doing me a favor. If you can take a short break from all the grippin', grinnin', posin' and pontificatin', how about taking a minute or two to stop by and say hello to my fellow Recon Marines and other classmates on the Wall. I suspect you'll be too busy with photo ops, campaigning, and stroking donors to be troubled with a couple minutes doing what the Memorial was built for but, just in case, here's a list so you can have your man find them and point them out to you. Hope you have a Meaningful Memorial Day.

The #VRWC Report, internet taxes come to New Jersey and Joe Biden dances for his dinner
If RINOs are Republicans in Name Only, what do we call Conservatives in Name Only? Because we need a new moniker for Chris "Conservative Rock Star" Christie. Real Conservatives don't impose new taxes, and they damn sure don't tax the internet. Shame on him.
What is proper role of taxation? It's an argument which has been brewing since the dawn of our Republic. And it's one of the few instances where the Founding Fathers may have entrusted too much power to the state.
One day people of Polish descent will look back on Obama's death camps gaffe and laugh. Today is not that day.
Which doesn't stop Joe Biden from practicing Smart Diplomacy as only he can.

America at Risk: Tom Shanahan on the Navy's Readiness Crisis
The year was 1979. America's military had emerged from the Vietnam War earlier in the decade and was now facing sizable and significant budget cuts.
Capt. Tom Shanahan, commanding officer of the USS Canisteo, had just returned from the Mediterranean Sea and was now leading an overhaul of his fleet supply ship. Over the course of 10 months, the crew assigned to the Canisteo gradually disappeared, relocated by the Navy to other assignments. Those personnel cuts eventually left Shanahan with so few men that he couldn't take his ship to sea.
More than 30 years later, the U.S. Navy is facing another readiness crisis. Shanahan's story illustrates how budget cuts after Vietnam left the military unprepared. Cuts today are creating a new set of challenges.

Obama Hope and Change video titled "The rhetoric and the reality!"...from Mike Haltman at TPC
Obama: Leads through rhetoric while the American people suffer through the reality of his actions!
The beauty of running for president with no real record to speak of is that rhetoric becomes king.
For Barack Obama in particular, back in 2007 there was little of any substance to look back on and what was there got completely ignored by the media.
"Hope and Change" therefore became a great campaign slogan.
Fast forward to 2012! The problem for Obama in the 2012 election is that he will now be judged worthy or not worthy for a second-term in office based on the actual results of his administration.
Not by rhetoric, not by ceding responsibility for failure to his predecessor and not through the use of catchy campaign slogans.
For Obama, his downfall in the 2012 election will be that instead of "Hope and Change" the American people will judge him on a little thing called "Policies and Results".
For this politician, even with the help of his MSM bench, the facts will be his worst nightmare come November!
