HALF-FULL REPORT 04/20/12

While I was in the deepest bowels of Africa recently – an apt metaphor, by the way, as days after I was in Guinea-Bissau there was a violent military coup – Jack Kelly reported in the HFR of March 30 that Zero was having his worst week ever.  

Then the following week, in the HFR of April 06, I had to conclude was even worse for Zero than the previous. And last week, in the HFR of April 13, we reveled in the "no-good, lousy, really bad week Zero and the Dems had" – enjoyably worse than the last two.

This run of three straight worst-weeks-ever for Zero sure isn’t going to be broken this week.  This just keeps getting better and better.  We’re going to have so much fun with this HFR you may not be able to stand it.  We’ll start with Mrs. Zero’s latest dietary advice:  "Dog:  It’s what’s for dinner!"

Hitler was devastated over this:

As you recover from your laughing spasm, reflect on what millions of Americans laughing at him does to a narcissist.

This picture of Teddy Roosevelt is a family heirloom. The reason is that the man standing in front of TR is the Chief of the Secret Service Presidential Bodyguard – my grandfather Lucien C. Wheeler. For 20 years (1902-1922), Lucien guarded the lives of four presidents: TR, Taft, Wilson, and Harding.

I have such fond memories of Papa as a young boy.  He spoke with reverence about the Secret Service and its sacred duty to guard the President.  I can only imagine the contempt and disgust he would feel over what Zero has done to it.  I know what he would say:  "The fish rots from the head."

Which is why agents cavorting with Columbian hookers is far more serious than turning the Secret Service into a laughingstock.  As Sarah Palin said last night (4/19), "It’s a symptom of government run amok."

(Sarah had me in stitches when she said of the one agent who’s been fired so far, David Chaney, "I hope his wife sends him to the doghouse. As long as he’s not eating the dog, along with his former boss.")

The Secret Service Prostitute Scandal broke last Saturday morning (4/14).  That amped up the focus on another burgeoning Zero White House scandal:  the $823,000 taxpayer-paid party in Vegas for 300 government employees of the General Services Administration (GSA).

On Monday (4/16), the House Oversight Committee held hearings on the GSA Scandal, at which the GSA official who organized the Vegas party, Jeff Neely took the Fifth.  So many of Zero’s people have taken the Fifth now that the Republican National Committee has come out with a YouTube entitled Obama’s Favorite Amendment:

 
  
Sarah is so spot on with her "government run amok" meme that even the lib media, like the San Francisco Chronicle today (4/20), are condemning the "culture of waste" in Zero’s Washington.

Zero’s week kept right on getting better with Democrat Governor of Montana Brian Schweitzer’s interview yesterday (4/19) in the hyper-lib Daily Beast.  The IQ-challenged Gov claimed Romney will have trouble with Hispanic and women voters because his father was born in a Mormon commune in Mexico that practiced polygamy (even though Romney’s parents were monogamous).  Count the number of times he says the P-word:

"…his family came from a polygamy commune in Mexico, but then he’d have to talk about his family coming from a polygamy commune in Mexico, given the gender discrepancy… Women are not great fans of polygamy, 86 percent were not great fans of polygamy. I am not alleging by any stretch that Romney is a polygamist and approves of [the] polygamy lifestyle, but his father was born into [a] polygamy commune in Mexico."

Brilliant, Brian.  Immediately, the entire conservative blogosphere gleefully seized the opportunity to point out the tradition of polygamy in Zero’s ancestry.  In his hagiography of Zero, Barack Obama: The Story, Washington Post editor David Maraniss discloses that Zero’s "great-grandfather, Obama Opiyo, had five wives, including two who were sisters. His grandfather, Hussein Onyango, had at least four wives, one of whom, Akumu, gave birth to the president’s father."

And of course, we all know that Obama Sr. was a polygamist as well, as he was married to a Luo girl back in Kenya with whom he had two children, when he married Ann Dunham in Hawaii. 

Anthropologists have long reported that "polygamy and wife inheritance are accepted customary practices among the Luo."  The Luo Council of Elders continues to this day to advocate polygamy, claiming, for example that "polygamy is one of the best ways to fight AIDS."  (The Luo Elders’ IQs are evidently on a par with Brian Schweitzer’s.)

So now the Dem geniuses trying to punch out Romney on how he treated his dog and the polygamy of his great-grandfather have managed to make their boss a joke on both counts.  What a week.

To top it off, we need to note how Mrs. Zero went Full Messiah on Tuesday (4/17) in Nashville, comparing President Lead From Behind to Jesus Christ.

Last week, we had a choice.  Not this week, as nobody comes close to Ted Nugent for HFR Hero of the Week.

On Sunday (4/15), at the NRA convention in St. Louis, The Nuge let loose with a rant heard ‘round the world, denouncing Zero for leading a "vile, evil, America-hating administration," led by "a president, attorney general, vice-president, and secretary of state Hillary Clinton who are criminals."  Here it is (note: bad language alert):

The entire Commiecrat Moonbat Universe exploded in ersatz fury.  Nugent loved it.  Here’s his response, written yesterday (4/19), The NRA Party Rocked.  And of course, he had no problem at all with the Secret Service guys.

Rock on, Ted.  Keep shoving the truth into Dem faces.  Here is the greatest rock guitarist ever playing the Star Spangled Banner at Glenn Beck’s Alamo Tea Party:

Yet all of the above is simply the frosting on this week’s cake of Real Bad News for Zero – that the economy keeps heading into a deeper tank with jobless claims up and home sales down, as the Labor Department reported yesterday (4/19).  There is no way Zero can finesse this, no matter what distractions he may attempt to deploy.

On Wednesday(4/18), Zero gave a phoned-in boring speech at the Lorain Community College in Ohio.  300 people showed up.  The very next day (yesterday, 4/19), Romney also gave a speech in Lorain, Ohio – in an empty factory. 

The National Gypsum Company shut its factory down in 2008.  Zero gave a campaign speech there, condemning the Bush presidency for not creating jobs that would keep the plant open, and promising that, as president, he would create the jobs the Republicans couldn’t.

The factory remains shuttered today, and in its emptiness, with a huge banner above declaring "OBAMA ISN’T WORKING!", Romney pointed out how Zero had not kept his promise of 2008:

"This president has failed by his own measure. This is a president who’d like to run on rhetoric. We instead are going to insist that he will run on record, and that record is a record of failure."

Not only is this irrefutable, it is seriously smart campaigning.  Romney is getting good at this.

When will this string of increasingly bad weeks for Zero end?  Not next week – and one big reason is France.  Sick of Sarkozy’s grandiosity, the French seem poised this Sunday (4/22) to leap straight off Suicide Cliff – and all in the name of Fascist Fairness.

A dyed-in-the-Marxist-wool member of France’s Caviar Left, Francois Hollande, is so unexciting his nickname is Flanby, a gooey caramel pudding.  His former girlfriend, mother of his four children, and Socialist Party candidate defeated by Sarkozy in 2007, Ségolène Royal, asks: "Can the French people name a single thing he has achieved in 30 years in politics?"

Yet he is the runaway favorite to kick Sarko’s derrière on Sunday – because the French are so desperate for their government to take care of them.

Hollande’s main campaign slogan is: "A Return To Fairness."  His "worst enemy" is "the world of finance."  He’s famous for saying, "Je n’aime pas les riches" – I don’t like rich people.  Sound familiar?

His campaign promises are: raising taxes for big corporations and banks, soaking the wealthy with a 75% tax on their earnings, creating 60,000 teaching jobs, bringing the official retirement age back down to 60 from 62, creating subsidized jobs for the young, vastly increasing government spending, and granting marriage and adoption rights to same-sex couples. 

What’s important about this is not just that Hollande and Zero promise the same things, but that the French economy is going to collapse into Hell as a consequence – and in time for it to be a sobering reminder to anyone actually thinking about voting for a Zero second term.

A recent national poll in France showed that 73% of all young people from 15 to 30 want to work for the government.  France is a Moocher Nation.  Americans will have a chance to see what that looks like with Hollande.  It will be very educational.

If you can stand any more good news, try this:  a number of psephologists said yesterday (4/19) that Poll Numbers Point To Disaster for Obama. The key problem, they say, is the huge drop in support from independent voters.

Couple this with a recent poll showing a collapse in support for Zero among young voters.  In 2008, Zero garnered 66% of the under 30 vote. The 2012 Millennial Values Survey shows that he has only 48% support now – and that their sky-high 2008 enthusiasm has evaporated.

America is coming to its senses, folks.  The best news of all is after inflicting this nightmare upon themselves and realizing what they have done, Americans are never going to make the mistake of electing a Marxist-Fascist Commiecrat Anti-American race hustling empty suit con man ever again.  Not in our lifetime, or our children’s or grandchildren’s.  Count on it.
