Breitbart News has obtained and released a promotional booklet from Barack Obama’s then-literary agency, Acton & Dystel. The 1991 booklet states that Obama was “born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii” (emphasis added).
Breitbart News believes that Obama was born in Hawaii, but they present this booklet as evidence of how Obama’s public persona has been presented differently at different times.
More details on the booklet at Breitbart.com.
Edited to add: The spin begins: Literary agent says 1991 booklet was a mistake (fact-checking error).
The vote would have been 100-0 except Republican Senator Mark Kirk is recovering from a stroke and could not vote.
WASHINGTON – President Obama’s budget suffered a second embarrassing defeat Wednesday, when senators voted 99-0 to reject it. Coupled with the House’s rejection in March, 414-0, that means Mr. Obama’s budget has failed to win a single vote in support this year.
Republicans forced the vote by offering the president’s plan on the Senate floor. (more…)
On the radio today Rush Limbaugh discusses the institutional media and their complicit attachment to the false Trayvon Martin narrative.
It is good to see highly visible people like Limbaugh pushing back against the legacy media and challenging people to recognize the real enemy in the psyche of the citizenry, the insufferable media.
Why the Left Dropped the Trayvon Story – RUSH LIMBAUGH: Developments in the Trayvon Martin case, and you’d be hard-pressed to find these developments out there. There have been two dramatic developments in the Trayvon Martin shooting case. According to ABC News, George Zimmerman’s family doctor saw him the morning after the shooting of Trayvon Martin. Here’s what George Zimmerman’s doctor found: A broken nose, two black eyes, bruises on his face and lip, two cuts on the back of his head, and a back injury.
The NBC affiliate in Florida is reporting that the medical director who performed the autopsy on Trayvon Martin found only two injuries on his body: the gunshot wound and broken skin on his knuckles. Welcome to the Duke lacrosse case all over again.
Everything Zimmerman said about what happened to him turns out to be true after the media trying to cast him along with the civil rights coalitions of this country, the race-baiters, as abject lies. (interruption) What do you mean, not rush to judgment? It’s been two months. I’m not speculating. I’m telling you what the doctor said. There’s no speculation going on. The doctor is not speculating. The doctor did the exam the day after the incident happened. It’s all been suppressed. Nobody’s reported it. That’s the point. And there wasn’t even any media curiosity about it.
It’s been several weeks since we focused on foreign events, and no singular event is more reflective of the total failure of this administration regarding foreign policy, than current day Syria.
Despite the media selling “Foreign Policy” as President Obama’s strength, it is actually his second greatest failure -ALL.OF.IT- second only to economic ineptitude. In Syria Obama has painted the West into a corner. The “rebels” fighting against the Assad regime are now primarily al-Qaeda elements under the auspices of The Al-Nusra Front. Yet you see the idiots in DC, well, some of them anyway (like McCain and Lieberman and Ketchup Boy) openly requesting that we arm the rebels.
What are the options left by the action, and inaction, once again of this leading from behind strategy. a) support the rebels in defeating Assad, and create a new terroristic and radical Syria in the model of Yemen. Or, b) support Assad in defeating the rebellion, spinning 180 degrees from prior WEST position, and consequently aiding Syria’s #1 ally Iran. (more…)
You can tell when President Obama is polling poorly because the headlines swoon him.
Weary warriors favor Obama – According to article the military support Obama over Romney…. Or, at least that’s what Reuters wants to convince you.
There is a substantive and real disconnect between the media and the electorate. The distance between the opposing ideological poles is the same measure of disconnect between President Obama and the center-right majority.
The institutional legacy media, in all its forms, and President Obama are in complete alignment both ideologically and emotionally. So too are they dependent upon each other for reinforcement and support.
At no time is this more evidenced than when Obama is in polling trouble. When President Obama stakes a position, well, actually it’s more apropos to say ‘reveals a position’, that is in direct contradiction to the heart of electorate values, the media circles the wagon.
The media goal is deflection, distraction and more importantly to sell a false message. The message they sell has one goal; make it look like you are in the minority if you disagree with them. Period.
Supported by their elitist alignment with liberally indoctrinated cohorts the media will do and say anything to maintain the guise. This is not some massive conspiracy theory, although to protect themselves -and ridicule you- they will tell you it is; No, this is the heart of progressive social engineering under various adjectives.

If there is any singular faux-reporter best described as the absolute personification of walking progressive bile it would be Andrew Sullivan. The guy is significantly below pondwater scum on the scale of decency, and has remained in this position since his “Trig Truther” anti-Palin fascination. This ringing love affair of Obama, by Sullivan, is well deserved and well matched.
YahooNews – It won’t be nearly as controversial as Time magazine’s breastfeeding cover, but Newsweek’s May 21 issue declares Barack Obama the country’s “first gay president.”
The accompanying cover story was written by Andrew Sullivan, the popular–and openly gay–political blogger. The magazine even gives the commander-in-chief a rainbow halo.
Obama, Sullivan writes, “had to discover his black identity and then reconcile it with his white family, just as gays discover their homosexual identity and then have to reconcile it with their heterosexual family.” (more…)
Just wanted to let you know – today I received my 2012 Social Security Stimulus Package.
It contained: two tomato seeds, a bag of cornbread mix, a prayer rug, a machine to blow smoke up my ass, 10 discount coupons to KFC and an “Obama Hope & Change” bumper sticker. The directions were in Spanish. Hope you get yours soon.
For anyone following this story/legal case you know what the local ground players in/around Orlando have been doing. They have been systematically and methodically distancing themselves from the “George Zimmerman is Racist” narrative. The retreat is now going mainstream. Quickly.
The retreat began with the Media Consultant, Ryan Julison, who sold the initial racist narrative as part of the “media strategy“, his sales pitch, or in pitchman lingo “the hook”. Immediately after following our site and looking at the research Julison took down his company website; then he scrubbed his company facebook page where he was bragging about “working with” the various reporters in framing their story, and sharing the specific stories he worked on with them.
Those stories were filled with false statements about George Zimmerman being a 247lb “white” male. Or, in the New York Times example, he helped create the new ethnicity “White-Hispanic“.
We outlined how Julison also used the Orlando Sentinel, and one reporter specifically named Jeff Weiner, to frame the false narrative and sell the Julison-Jackson version of events. Those Weiner articles were picked up and used by other media outlets and sold in their markets across the US.
We also shared how this is the norm for how Natalie Jackson and Ryan Julison work, they are quite proficient with using this approach. Apparently, the quid-pro-quo works well.
The latest retreats are from ABC and CNN. We start with CNN and a CNN National Legal Contributor/Analyst who we have outlined is connected to the Orlando machine, Mark Nejame. Mr Nejame appeared on CNN’s Piers Morgan show last night to share the following mea culpa. Listen carefully to exactly what words and phrases he uses:
(BREITBART.com) Today’s unconscionable Washington Post story, which implied without evidence that Mitt Romney was a homophobic bully to one John Lauber back in his high school days five decades ago, has totally imploded.
Timed to drop the day after President Obama’s announced embrace of same-sex marriage, the story set the political world atwitter. But earlier today, Breitbart News reported that the Post had inflated witness testimony. The original Washington Post piece stated the following:
“I always enjoyed his pranks,” said Stu White, a popular friend of Romney’s who went on to a career as a public school teacher and has long been bothered by the Lauber incident. [emphasis added]
Yet in an interview with ABC News today, White disowned that characterization: (more…)
