First your light bulbs, now your soap!

"The EPA, under pressure from Congressman Ed Markey and several environmental extremist groups, is considering banning Triclosan, a key ingredient safely used in antibacterial products since the 1950s. Triclosan is also found in products such as trash bags, toys, tennis shoes, and cosmetics to prevent bacteria growth and the spread of illness. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) itself has found Triclosan to be safe for use by humans, but that is clearly not good enough to those who make a nice living off of fear mongering."

Detroit May Have to Abandon Half of Its Schools to Pay Union Benefits
"Detroit represents the Democrat Party's Utopian endgame in microcosm. Decades of one-party rule... wealth redistribution through unchecked social engineering programs... government decisions dictated not in the interest of the taxpayers, but by the public sector union bosses instead... and incessant streaks of corruption, theft and abuse of the taxpayers."

"The modern Democrat Party spreads not wealth... but misery. And Detroit is the perfect illustration of their agenda."

The 11 Most Ludicrous Free Passes Given to The Obamas:

11. The Most Ethical and Transparent Government In History
The Light-bringer of Hope and Change promised the adoring masses that congress would not vote on any bill that hadn’t been posted, in its entirety online for five days before signing. Not only did this not happen, but Nancy Pelosi and her (now vanquished) minions in congress decided their favorite time to pass 2000-page bills no one had read was at 3 a.m. behind closed doors. [snip]
10. Lobbyists for me but not for thee
After his election, one of his first executive orders was a ceremonial show to back up these claims. He banned gifts from lobbyists, put stricter rules in place for hiring lobbyists…and then issued himself exceptions to get out of the new rules. [snip]
9. No interest in Obama’s history, plenty of interest in his “historical significance”
Short of repeating, verbatim, Obama’s two autobiographies…the Obama-loving media showed no interest in Obama’s history, Chicago connections, or experience. [snip]
8. Occidental College, Columbia College and Harvard grades…still sealed
I can only guess that Obama was a terrible student with all the effort that has gone into sealing his educational records.
7. The President’s Security Blankie
President Obama, the man they said was the greatest speaker of all time has a curious quirk. He cannot order fast food without the use of his teleprompter security blankie. [snip]
6. Michelle O No!
The press says, “Michelle and Jackie O: Twins Separated At Birth?” If the press hadn’t started this Jackie O comparison, I probably wouldn’t be writing this. But they did and the small honest child inside me is screaming, “She’s no Jackie O!” And yet, the press (even the mean-queen Joan Rivers) is silent on what can only be described (truthfully) as a hot mess. [snip]
5. Verbal Gaffes
When Obama has made gaffes…the press goes silent. Obama calls a Navy corpsman “corpse-man”…and claims to have visited 57 states. A Google News search on these gaffes produces nothing but a few articles from Fox. Everyone else ignored it. [snip]
4. Excessive Vacations
The press went wild reporting on Bush’s many “vacations.” Obama just wrapped up his 10th vacation in 2 years. What’s infuriating about his whole attitude toward spending the People’s money…is that, by his own admission, he’s presiding over the worst economy since the Great Depression. Does that not give him some responsibility to be extra careful with tax dollars?… You would think the press would notice. [snip]
3. Encouraging Racism
Far from becoming the Great Uniter between the races, Obama’s appointments and actions have only served to deepen the racial divide in America. [snip]
2. From a Tiny ACORN Grows a Giant Tree of Corruption
This might be the worst of the events linked to Obama that the networks ignored until the last possible minute. [Acorngate exposed their corruption and] the networks still refused to report it. …until they had no choice, weeks later, to join in the reporting. [snip]
1. Dismal Response Time
From the very beginning, Obama has been an absent executive. The first major terrorist attack since 9/11 happened at Ft. Hood. The president was strangely silent for hours after the attack… Then came the big BP Oil spill. It took Obama 57 days to address the public about the spill, and when he finally did, he disappointed even Keith Olbermann and the ever-aroused Chris Matthews. [snip]
No matter how you feel about Obama, I think everyone can agree he’s had a very easy ride from the media. No other president has ever been so coddled and protected by the very people who claim to speak truth to power. [snip]
