It Only Makes Sense that Obama Fired Inspector General Gerald Walpin: After All, Obama is 'Above the Country', 'Above the World'--and ABOVE THE LAW!

Here is Rush Limbaugh's commentary on the "transparent" and "open" firing of the independent, non-partisan inspector general, Mr. Gerald Walpin, in the matter of Americorp.

Let it be a lesson to anyone who dares to enforce the rule of law on the Chicago thugocrats in Washington.

"Read My Lips: No Socialized Medicine!" Says Obama, as He and His Fellow Neo-Comms Work Feverishly to Force Americans into Socialized Medicine!

Ah, the quasi-messiah speaks in riddles, parables, double-entendres, and of course, bald-faced lies.

His misrepresentation of the massive, draconian overhaul of the healthcare system he and his handlers have been planning (for years) is the most recent example.

When he promised during the campaign to post all spending bills on the Internet for four days prior to the Congress voting on them, he forgot to mention that this didn't include any of the byzantine economic strangulus packages (which of course, have NO earmarks in them!) that he would be signing.

When he promised an "open" and "transparent" administration (like Gorbachev's glasnost and perestroika!), he failed to mention this was only a figure of speech.  In reality, the openness and transparency are in his administration's brazen and shameless expropriation of power and implementation of a radical agenda that is neo-marxist, pro-Islamic/pro-Arab, anti-American, anti-semitic and anti-Christian to the core.

Here is a brief article written about Obama's "townhall meeting" a couple of days ago in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

We have a new religion that serves as 'an opiate for the masses.' It's called Obamalomania.

Why Robert Gibbs is the Perfect White House Press Secretary for the Obama Administration: Every Cold, Ruthless Monarchy Needs a Court Jester...

Watch how Mr. Gibbs clowns his way through this exchange, fielding a sober, serious question delivered by Lester Kinsolving, reporter for World Net Daily, on the grave, constitutional matter of Barack Obama's eligibility--hearkening back to Obama's repeated campaign pledge and post-election promise of "transparency" and "openness" in his administration--by treating it as a farce.

Of course, Mr. Gibbs--or, as Cruella Michella "Buffy Lee" Larson, co-host of KFYI's (Phoenix) morning talk radio show with "the Nearly Famous Barry Young" likes to call him, 'Bobby G'--always manages to keep the tone light, goofy and non-controversial at all press conferences involving the State-Controlled Media drones and sycophants gathered to pretend they are the elite journalistic "watchdogs" of Washington, D.C. monitoring the daily activities of the puppet president, whom they idolize and adore (almost as much as Castro and Chavez), to report their "findings" to a public entitled to know and receive all the pap, propaganda and journalistic drivel they can dish out. 

This man, buffoon that he is, at least provides some comic relief from the dark, Stalinist, draconian-machiavellian prince that currently occupies the White House.

"Transparency, Openness" is the New 'Glasnost, Perestroika!' In the Obama Administration, It Means Teleprompters and Pre-Staged Press Conferences.

As I watched Obama's first presidential press conference unfold on Monday, the first thing I noticed--other than the fact that it was a thoroughly scripted, prescreened, predetermined, precalculated affair, as most media events involving a U.S. president are--was that when he called on reporters, he appeared to be reading their names from a preselected list.  

Now, this, in and of itself, to me is not a grievous offense, in the larger scheme of things.  But it does underscore the fact that the Obama presidency is all about pretention, posturing and prevaricating (and, of course, ruling by imperial dictat, wielding power and reigning through subterfuge and machiavellian means).  

It underscores the fact that, with this administration, micro-management is the watchword. No variable, however small and seemingly insignificant, is to be left uncontrolled, unchoreographed.  Everything must have prior authorization and approval from the throne. Every question from the floor must give the president ample opportunity to display his decisiveness, his eloquence, reflect his profound powers of analytical observation, intelligence and insightful utterance.  He must appear to be far superior to the journalistic drones in the room, and he must bedazzle the adoring millions/minions watching by television.

At the very least, what matters in this Obama Nation we've just created, as Rush Limbaugh so presciently observed about the Clinton administration, is "symbolism over substance."

Which is precisely what this "transparency" press conference was all about.  The proverbial dog and pony show.  It is the same show of "transparency" that every despot (and in American politics, every draconian Democrat and reprobate Republican) has used since time immemorial to bamboozle the masses and enlarge and expand the power of the federal government.

Transparency?  Yes.  We can see right through it.
