I previously posted about the latest rash of scandalous photos coming out of Afghanistan showing U.S. military atrocities under Obama’s command, and wondering if the media would pick up on it the way they did when it was Bush’s army… Well, here’s a twist I wasn’t expecting: yes, one of the U.S. media, Rolling Stone, [...]
Jeffrey Goldberg, a correspondent for the Atlantic, cast a spotlight on yet another disgustingly overt example of pure bias in the mainstream media, particularly at the anti-Semitic Reuters newswire. He points to a Reuters news item which contains the following despicable sentences: Police said it was a “terrorist attack” — Israel’s term for a Palestinian [...]
In the [sparse] reporting of the Palestinians’ massacre of the Fogel family, several newspapers stand out with their distorted sense of “balance”, i.e., where they feel overwhelmingly uncomfortable describing the barbarity of the Palestinians without at least taking a swipe or two at the Israelis, no matter how patently irrelevant or disgustingly disrespectful it comes [...]
Obama Chastises: “When you rush these budgets… and nobody has read them”

Naked Emperor News has just posted a great clip on YouTube. In it (seen below, followed by an excerpted transcript), you’ll hear Obama complaining about Congress voting on bills in haste without reading them.
Of course, though, he wasn’t talking about the 111th Congress voting on his supported initiatives. Noooo, he was talking about Congress during Bush’s administration voting on Bush’s supported initiatives! As you can very well imagine, the Hypocrite-In-Chief only seems to have a problem when this happens for Bush’s agenda, but when it comes to his agenda, it goes without saying that there’s no need for Congress to actually read what they’re voting on!
As I mentioned before here, our Democrat Congressmen even go so far as to laugh at the notion of reading a bill before voting! The most recent example is described briefly here, with the Cap and Trade Energy Tax hitting 1500+ pages (300 of which were added on the morning of the vote)… a classic example of exactly what Obama is describing!
Well, I guess I won’t hold my breath waiting for a reprise of his rush-without-reading diatribe.
BARACK OBAMA: …When you rush these budgets that are a foot high and nobody has any idea what’s in them and nobody has read them.
RANDI RHODES: 14 pounds it was!
BARACK OBAMA: Yeah. And it gets rushed through without any clear deliberation or debate then these kinds of things happen. And I think that this is in some ways what happened to the Patriot Act. I mean you remember that there was no real debate about that. It was so quick after 9/11 that it was introduced that people felt very intimidated by the administration.
