Obama said what? - Fed workers to be urged to commute, travel less

HE, who uses Air Force One like a private jet telling the underlings they must cut their travel?

Yet here he is, hopping here for this 5 minute speech, and there for that 10 minute speech, twice to Copenhagen in the same month!

Trips many would argue were BOTH personal trips, since the federal government had nothing to do with the Olympics coming to Chicago, which is why he was there the second time, lobbying for his homies and killing some quality time flying on this special plane.

All that for about 2 piddly hours on the ground which came to 17 hours in the air round trip twice in the same 2 week stretch, all the way to Copenhagen and back at $70,000 an hour, you do the math.

It came to about 6 million dollars total.

An afternoon in Ohio a couple weeks ago for a 10 minute speech literally cost us all a half million dollars!!

Here's yet another GREAT moment in 'Obama White House travel history':

Remember his Memorial Day trip back here to Chicago where he jotted down to the Gulf and back to make a 'fly by' appearance on the beach there, while back here he was partying with Loopy Louis Farrakhan, who's 45 bodyguards got into a verbal altercation with the Secret Service over the grass at the Nation of Islam party?

All which he chose to partake in rather than spending the holiday in the appropriate setting in DC to honor our vets at Arlington, instead sending 'Sackless' Scranton Joe in his place, who I must admit actually turned in a better performance than Obama could have.. The best part of the day for me and others was when GOD rained on Obama's last second 'I care about the troops' run down the street from his house to a South Side cemetery for some more "Lincoln' imagery.

That little trip cost Americans 240,000 for the weekend.

And most of all, who could forget the Air Force One Fly by in NY that scared the shit out of most of the city all for a BS photo that I and thousands of others could have and did photoshop for hundreds of thousands of the cost as you can see above.

Not to even mention that 50 trips on that thing entail the involvement of a contingent that could run a small country, in addition to the tons and tons of armored vehicles and the literal 'stoppage of time' that occurs when this man parades through a crowded city for a lousy ice cream and a damn Big Mac is preposterous.

All because of his monstrous ego and self centeredness that's not even satisfied with all the gushing we have to suffer through as he wanders through the moronic class for affirmation more than the Real Fake Stuart Smalley character. Not the asshole who played him on SNL

So, once AGAIN WITH THE LEFT AND OBAMA THE MOTTO IS:

"DO AS WE SAY, NOT AS WE DO"

AND

"WHAT IS FOR ME IS NOT FOR THEE."

My Way News - Fed workers to be urged to commute, travel less: "WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama wants federal workers to cut down on business travel and commuting by car as he seeks to reduce heat-trapping emissions produced by the federal government.

The White House was announcing Tuesday that the government will aim to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions from indirect sources like employee driving by 13 percent in 2020, compared with 2008 levels.

Earlier this year Obama directed agencies to reduce pollution from direct sources, such as buildings and government fleets, by 28 percent in the next decade.

The federal government is the largest energy consumer in the U.S. economy, and the combined reductions would be the equivalent of removing emissions from 235 million barrels of oil, the White House said.

Employee travel and commuting account for the biggest category of what the White House calls indirect sources of pollution, so the main way to limit them will be encouraging employees to travel less for business and to use mass transit for their commutes. Other sources of indirect pollution are waste disposal and energy that is lost through inefficient electricity transmission.

The announcement allows Obama to show some forward movement on cutting greenhouse gases even as the Senate prepares to take up energy legislation without the broad, economy-wide greenhouse gas emission caps Obama hoped for.

In a statement, Obama noted that the government is the biggest energy user. 'The government has a responsibility to use that energy wisely, to reduce consumption, improve efficiency, use renewable energy, like wind and solar, and cut costs,' he said.

Speaking of which:

Oh I guess this means they'll also be demanding that San Fran Nan give up the use of the Gulfsteam and Air Force Jets that she's now taking cross country on a 'whenever the hell she feels like it' basis?

She's cost us over 3 million dollars so far in her time as Speaker of House, and that includes the giant hammer she carries around with her.

Make her go back to her piddly private Cessna or fly first class like the rest of the "we're better than you' segment of America. Don't hold your breath on that one.

Rangel stepping down from tax-writing chairmanship - Too Little Way Too Late

This is a freaking joke..leave of absence, gimme a break!!!!  Talk about abuses of power.. the WSJ has a piece titled just that which is a good read and is focused on "dems and reconciliation". Check it out after this one.(lol).

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

How long did this take? And he's still stomping around DC like he owns the place, when he should be removed from office entirely just for the things we know about, and for every one we do there's probably 20 we don't.

This House and Means chairmanship stripping is a big deal, but not big enough for this taxpayer. We'd be in jail if we pulled this and so should he.

This shouldn't stop here, he should now be charged and removed from office upon any convictions that arise, although at his age, (70) any man not entirely absorbed with the high living at "we the people's expense" down there on the "Gold Brick Road" of Washington would do the honorable thing and retire.  But democrats don't do the honorable thing and hang on for dear life when scandal erupts.....The problem with that is we're paying for all three options either way.

So he gets us coming and going and is laughing all the way to the Bahama's and back about this kid glove treatment I'm sure, I would be. Apparently he offered to resign and San Fran Nan wouldn't accept it, so there's another reason to kick her ass to the curb as well.

I've been ragging about this man on this blog since 2007 as you can see in this Rangel search of the blog, so much I've got about 10 different photoshops of the man and here's the best couple I think at least.....

That was a pic from the New York Post that I obviously added a few things to although it was funny enough it's native state when they first broke this scandal about 3 years ago!!!!!

Here's Rangel and how he treats "we pee-ons" out here in the real world who he happens to work for, like this Hot Air Reporter from a post I did 2 years ago on this fat, corrupt  f**k.

 And then finally this one which is what I hope someday Club Gitmo will look like when this administration and crooked as a creek 111th congress is finally removed from office, as I've always been for keeping it open just for this reason, just so our politicians who go astray of the law could all be sent there for their retirements.

At least it's in the tropics and we all know now that Rangel loves it down there. And Obama would love it too since he too was supposedly born in Hawaii.

A Year To The Day Nearly Obama Bashes Vegas, (Video)

February 9th 2009 was the last time when he came out and bashed corporations who head to Vegas for their parties and Conventions, and now he's done it again and the Mayor is pissed off big time, Oscar Goodman.

“I want the president to straighten this out. If not, he’s not welcome in my city, as far as I’m concerned."  And he's supposed to be there on the 18th campaigning, or giving the Obama kiss of death to Dingy Harry Reid who's seemingly (God willing) finally on HIS way out of the senate this year.

Obama foot in mouth disease seems to be increasing as the pressure grows.....

Judd Gregg and Peter Orszag TARP Confrontation

This is great and should be played over and over as liberals in congress try using the repayed TARP monies as a SuperDemSlush Fund to use as they please for their pet piggy bank.

This one is from Greta's Tuesday Show where Gregg goes on the record about his lashing of the misguided dem.

Gropenhagen / Dopenhagen Carbon Waste Unbelievable, If It Wasn't A Dem Led Congress Who Did It (video)

What a freaking dump right in the faces of Americans on both sides of the ideological spectrum who work for a living. Only problem is the liberal constituency will remain silent and by doing so thus sending the message they don't care. Well we do.

Bill O'Reilly and John Stossell talked about this report shown below that mostly surprises me most because it's the media doing for once what they're supposed to do.
