OBAMA'S COMMERCE PICK IS MAJOR MEDIA MATTERS FUNDER

Presidential campaign bundler chaired failed bank seized by feds
- Aaron Klein

President Obama is close to choosing Chicago businesswoman Penny Pritzker, the finance chair of his 2008 presidential campaign, as his next commerce secretary, according to multiple news media accounts.

WND first exposed that Pritzker is a primary funder of the radical Media Matters for America activist group.

Other questions may be raised about Pritzker’s financial history, primarily her family’s ownership of a bank that was seized and shut down by the feds in 2001 after it was accused of unsound financial activities and predatory lending practices.

Pritzker herself served as chairman of the failed bank, Superior Bank, from 1991-1994.

Last year, Media Matters found itself in hot water after the Daily Caller exposed the group’s purported illicit tactics, including compiling a de facto enemies list; announcing an all-out campaign of “guerrilla warfare and sabotage” aimed at the Fox News Channel; and reportedly seeking to investigate the personal lives of reporters and news personalities.

The information came amid reports White House staffers held regular meetings and even a weekly conference call with Media Matters

MICHELLE MALKIN TEARS INTO CELEBRITIES: OBAMA AIN’T YOUR DADDY, BOYFRIEND OR GOD

- Jason Howerton

Conservative columnist and Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin, like many Americans, were shocked when actor Chris Rock referred to President Barack Obama as “our boss” and the “dad of the country” on Wednesday. In reality, the president of the United States is an elected official who represents the American people — so they are actually the president’s boss.

“That was a bizarre little appearance there,” Malkin said. “It looked like a hostage video to me.”

She went on: “Maybe it’s dawning on him in some sector of his brain that this is not good for his career…I don’t know a dad who wears mom jeans. So America’s dad wears mom jeans.” Malkin was referring to Obama’s fashion sense, which conservatives have sometimes mocked.

Al Gore's Attempt at Creating Propaganda by Calling Fox News Propaganda

AL GORE, THE MAN WHO CREATED CURRENT TV, CALLS FOX NEWS PROPAGANDA

 

ROSE: Why do you think [Obama] was cautious in the first four years?

GORE: Because...

ROSE: ... he is a cautious man?

GORE: I think it has been a pretty hostile environment for progressive ideas.

ROSE: And why is that? That you're saying it's a very hostile environment for progressive ideas because of the importance of money in corporations or...

GORE: And Fox News and the right-wing talk radio. And yeah I mean, it's not that complicated. In Tennessee there's an old saying if you see a turtle on a fence post you can be pretty sure it didn’t get there by itself. And the fact that we have 24/7 propaganda masquerading as news, it does have an impact.

Gun control supporters urge Obama to bypass Congress on new measures

- Shannon Bream, Fox News

As Congress debates various gun control measures, President Obama is publicly putting the heat on Capitol Hill.

"The only way that we're going to be able to do everything that needs to be done is with the cooperation of Congress," he said Monday while hosting law enforcement officials from around the country.

But Supporters of tougher gun controls are growing increasingly worried lawmakers won't pass any substantial measures and have begun to focus their efforts elsewhere. A number of Obama allies across the country have called on public employee pension funds to divest of any holdings linked to the gun industry.

"City of Los Angeles pension funds should not go to profit companies that produce weapons designed to maximize carnage and death," Mayor Antonia Villaraigosa vowed.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a former Obama White House chief of staff, has made the same commitment and gone a step further. Emanuel has authored letters to Bank of America and TD Bank because they maintain multimillion-dollar lines of credit for major gun manufacturers. In the letters, Emanuel urges the banks to use their influence to "push" the manufacturers to go along with the president's tough new gun controls.

FOX NEWS TO SHUT DOWN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE MONDAY MORNING AT 11:30

- Andy Borowitz

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—Fox News Channel announced today that it would shut down for what it called “routine maintenance” Monday morning at 11:30 E.T.

Fox News president Roger Ailes explained the timing of the shutdown, which will be the first in the history of the network: “We wanted to pick a time when we were positive nothing would be happening that our viewers would want to see.”


Mr. Ailes said that Fox had considered shutting down only once before, exactly four years earlier on January 20, 2009, and later regretted the decision to continue broadcasting that day: “It turned out that no Fox viewers wanted to watch TV that day. And I mean none.”

AWESOME: Mark Levin blasts Obama as imperial president while on with Megyn Kelly

Posted by The Right Scoop

Mark Levin isn’t known for sugar coating his words or pulling punches when it comes to defending this country, and he doesn’t do it while on with Megyn Kelly either.

I’m not into imperial presidents who act imperial and speak imperial and Obama forgets there’s a Constitution. Yeah he keeps telling us he won reelection. Congratulations. But guess what, the Constitution wasn’t up for election. It’s not up for a plebiscite or a referendum. He has to comply with it too. He was sent back to Washington but he’s got a strict list of rules that he has to follow as president.

So when he gets up there and he starts saying ‘if Congress doesn’t do this, I’m gonna do this unilaterally’, it violates separation of powers a lot of the times. And this is a man who’s been pushing the edge of the envelope as far as I’m concerned whether it’s the appointment clause, whether it’s his unilateral action on immigration, whether it’s his trashing the commerce clause and the tax clauses on Obamacare. Now they’re talking about executive orders on the 2nd amendment, they’ve issued regulations on the first amendment attacking religious liberty – this notion that he might be able to lift the debt ceiling unilaterally under the 14th amendment – what the hell is this? He was elected president, congratulations. This guy makes Richard Nixon look like a man who followed the law all the time.

I think we have an imperial president. He sounds imperial, he’s arrogant as hell. And so I’m furious about this and I’m gonna tell you why.

We are a magnificent country. We don’t need to be turned upside down, we don’t need to run from crisis to crisis to crisis. He’s bankrupting this country.

He says we’ve had a discussion about the debt. When did we have a discussion about the debt? We’ve had a debate about taxes. The man’s never around to have a discussion about anything. So yes, he causes me to be furious when I watch him and listen to him!

And that’s just the beginning. He goes on to talk about the ‘big lie’ and more.
