Obama Gives Away Limosines

Margaret Thatcher, in a television interview for Thames TV This Week on February 5, 1976, said, "…Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They [socialists] always run out of other people's money. It's quite a characteristic of them." Of course, until they run out of other people’s money, they spend freely. They don’t seem to have a problem watching you and I toil for our earnings, then taking those earnings away from us via taxes and spending that money frivolously to live a lavish lifestyle. Don’t believe me? For you Obama koolaide drinkers that still think he has your best interests at heart, I give you limousines….lots of limousines. Unlike the former Bush administration that did not grant limo privileges to its staff, Obama, under the direction of his Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, has given limos and military chauffeurs to most of his team of advisers. Every day, they are picked up at home and all day long they are driven around town where ever they choose. Sounds nice, huh? Well, Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod, both advisers to the president, have been given limos for their use. So why are they so important that they need limos with military or police escorts?

Stalin did the same thing. His "friends" were well rewarded for their loyalty.

I guess my response has to be so what else is new? I read somewhere that when traveling to some international meeting recently he took 500 or so of his best friends, cooks, drivers and secret service with him. I'd say that was just a little extravagant!

When Obama went to Copenhagen for the failed Olympic bid, Obama used two US govt planes, scores of govt personnel, and other govt resources.

Most egregiously, Obama made a personal appeal to the IOC, to benefit the personal interests of Jarett, Axelrod, and the rest of the Chi/mob.

=====================================

OBAMA AND HIS CRONIES LINED-UP TO PROFIT FROM THE OLYMPICS This needs to be investigated (but don't hold your breath).

David Axelrod's Chicago PR firm did all the upfront work to prepare Chicago’s losing Olympic bid presentation to the IOC (Axelrod is a top WH aide).

Four of the five co-chairs of Obama’sinaugural committee continue to have unpaid leadership roles in Chicago Olympics 2016: Pat Ryan, the chairman and CEO of Chicago 2016; John Rodgers, treasurer and director of Chicago 2016 (once married to WH social secy Desiree Rodgers who was ousted over the Sahali incident); Bill Daley, former Clinton administration commerce secretary and brother of the Chicago mayor; and Penny Pritzker, the Chicago businesswoman and Hyatt hotel heiress who led Obama’s meteoric presidential campaign fundraising.

Pritzker’s family also owns or manages other hotels named by Chicago 2016 as the accommodations for Olympic workers, press and family members.

Ryan and Priztker each contributed $100,000 or more to Chicago Olympics 2016. As did WH Social Secretary Desiree Rogers, an Obama family friend, who also served on the Chicago committee. It still counts Obama confidant and vacation companion Eric Whitaker among its members.

The Obama insider in the WH, Valerie Jarrett, a Chicago slumlord, owns Chicago property she apparently planned to turn into Olympic Villages (she flew to Copenhagen for the losing effort). Jarrett was replaced as Chicago Olympics 2016 vice-chair by Martin Nesbitt, treasurer of Obama’s campaign, and another Obama family insider.

ASK Public Strategies, the Chicago-based corporate public relations company founded by Obama political guru David Axelrod and owned and run by some of Obama’s top presidential campaign consultants, was paid “in the tens of thousands” of dollars by Chicago Olympics 2016 to do “communication management [and] planning,” said former Axelrod partner Eric Sedler, who did not work for Obama's campaign, but was in Copenhagen, along with Pritzker and Jarrett.

“ASK Public Strategies worked on the bid for three years and for 2/3 of that time our work was pro bono,” said Sedler, who would not speculate on whether the company would be in line for more Olympic work if the IOC picked Chicago (duh).

===================================

Obama's cronies have too much influence over the office of the President of the United States. They can literally compel him to expend millions of tax-payer dollars on their care and confort. Speaks of a terrible, systemic corruption in the Obama WH.

Terrible corruption in the WH but is totally in line with beltway corruption. I read Ron Brown’s Body last year. If you need another picture of corruption in DC read it. It’s enough to gag a maggot.

You can see through Communists. Everything will be justified Alinsky style.

After constantly attacking and demeaning the Tea Partiers by labeling them Nazis and domestic terrorists, the regime is quite “justified” in protecting the government to “serve the people!”

Very recent buzzwords: distractions ———> anti-government.

Communist escalation is in progress, setting the country up for ANY Reichstag Fire, foreign (terrorist attack) or domestic (communist sabotage.) Martial law will be invoked, no assembly; therefore, no elections.

See, it’s all very simple.

Just more of “we won”.
Not surprising considering that they are all limosine liberals. Just living up to their names.

The life style of the Obamas begining with his inauguration then the trip to the UK with his entourage of 500 has been nothing but extravagant showing little regard for OM (our money) during a time of national financial crisis. It has yet to come under scrutiny. Which it should.
Bush would never get away with what Obama is doing. It is also an indication of a mind set he (and socialists in general) have toward government.

Amen, just bought my twelfth (or more) copy since I keep giving ‘RON BROWN’S BODY” away to friends. Your phrase: “It is enough to gag a Maggot!” is right on target. Dr. Cashill did one fantastic amount of research and writing on this book! Its a darn shame the Publisher is NOT doing a second printing on this great book, since it is even more timely and believable under this maggot infested Administration.

That's a good way to get the word out for sure. I have been going to Barnes & Noble's website and clicking on the used book area. You can get books for a pittance there from multiple sellers.

The last book I bought was printed in 2004. I got it for 1.99. S&H was more than the book but the whole cost was under 6.00.
