$5.97 million from Stimulus paid to Hillary Clinton pollster Mark Penn’s two firms saving a total of 3 jobs
JammieWearingFool breaks this story. Nearly $6 million in stimulus money aka, your tax dollars was paid to two firms run by Mark Penn who just happened to be Hillary Clinton’s pollster in 2008. Federal records show that $5.97 million from the $787 billion stimulus helped preserve three jobs at Burson-Marsteller, the global public-relations and communications firm headed by Penn. Burson-Marsteller won the contract to work on a public-relations campaign to advertise the national switch from analog to digital television. Nearly $2.8 million of the contract was issued to Penn’s polling firm, Penn, Schoen & Berland Associates, according to federal records. So that does this mean? We the tax payers paid $6 million to create or “save” 3 total jobs. What a great deal! Only $2 million per job!
Harry Reid announces “secret” health care deal – is it the end of the government run option?
Harry Reid was so excited he had to come out and announced a new “broad agreement” on health care. It’s so good, that Reid wouldn’t reveal the details of the detail. The AP reports however, that the government run option may be toast (at least for now).

According to the CBO – 10 million Could Lose Employer Coverage Under Senate Health Bill
The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that up to 10 million people could lose their employer-based insurance coverage under the Senate’s health care reform bill. According to Fox News in new figures out Monday, the CBO said the net loss would add up to about 5 million — the anticipated loss of employer coverage on one end would be offset in part by the expectation that a new mandate would drive other employers to cover millions more workers who are not currently covered.

Senate rejects Ben Nelson’s anti-abortion amendment 54-45
Now we will see if the so called “moderate” Democrat Ben Nelson really meant what he says. By a vote of 54-45, the Senate “put aside” Nelson’s amendment that would ban any insurance plan getting taxpayer dollars from offering abortion coverage. The restrictions mirrored provisions in the House-passed health care bill. This vote could cause problems for the passage of the Senate version of ObamaCARE, if these so called “moderate Democrats” actually do what they say and not support any sort of health care bill with government funded abortion. Don’t hold your breathe on that though either. Fox News has more:

Old washed up pervert David Letterman jokes about Tiger Woods
Think what you will about Tiger Woods and his current situation, but you would think one of the last piles of, well you know the word i’m looking for would be the last one to touch the subject. Well, I was wrong. The old, washed up pervert himself David Letterman dived right into material about Tiger Woods on the “Late Show” on Monday, joking that he wishes the golfer would stop calling him to ask for advice. CBS:
Even though the CBS late night host is only weeks removed from his own scandal, he kicked off his monologue with the subject of Woods, who has been hounded by claims from several women that they had affairs with him.
“Boy, it looks like that Tiger Woods is having some trouble, huh?” began Letterman, puffing his cheeks out.
He joked that if Woods’ situation had happened three months ago, he’d “have material for a year.” He still got plenty of mileage out of it Monday, on his first new show after a week of repeats.
“President Obama is sending troops to Afghanistan,” Letterman said. “Hell, he ought to be sending them to Tiger Woods’ house.”
Woods, the world’s No. 1 golfer, crashed his luxury SUV outside his Florida mansion on Thanksgiving weekend, and his wife told police she used a golf club to smash its back windows to help him out. The Florida Highway Patrol cited Woods for careless driving and fined him $164.
The accident and Woods’ refusal to answer questions about it fueled speculation about a possible dispute between the golfer and his wife.
Obama calls John Conyers directly to whine – Stop Demeaning me!
Many of you might have heard last month than while John Conyers was doing a telephone interview with Bill Press, he mentioned how we was “tired of saving Obama’s can”. Conyers of course is a far left Congressman from Michigan, and hasn’t been too happy with Obama’s “leadership” on the ObamaCARE monster, or his decision to send more troops to Afghanistan. Today, in an interview with the Hill, Conyers reveals that after his interview on the Bill Press show, the crybaby Obama actually phoned Conyers directly to whine about Conyers “demeaning” him.

Obama – we must spend our way out of this recession
Don’t say you weren’t warned about Porkulus 2.0. Today Obama outlined major new government stimulus and jobs proposals, saying the nation must continue to “spend our way out of this recession.” I’m sure this is music to the ears of countries like China. As usual, Obama wouldn’t provide any details, or a price tag. Instead, Obama proposed a package of new spending for highway, bridge, and other infrastructure projects; deeper tax breaks for small businesses; and tax incentives to encourage people to make their homes more energy efficient.

Obama’s 47% on Gallup is the lowest approval of any president at this point in their presidency
Yesterday we mentioned that Obama is now only a +1 on the latest Gallup daily tracking poll. He sits at 47% job approval rating and 46% job DISAPPROVAL rating in the latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking update. This represents not only his lowest job approval rating to date, but also his highest job disapproval rating to date. What I didn’t know until today is that Obama’s job approval rating has fallen to 47 percent in the latest Gallup poll, is the lowest ever recorded for any president at this point in their term! The worst White House Press Secretary in history Robert Gibbs said he doesn’t “put a lot of stock” in the survey by Gallup, which has conducted presidential approval polls since 1938, longer than any other organization.

Obama wanted “non-religious Christmas” at the White House
One would tend to think that Social Secretary Desiree Rogers is in enough trouble as it is with the White House “party crasher gate” with the Salahi Muslims. But apparently, she doesn’t have anything to worry about. Rogers reportedly told a gathering of former social secretaries that the Obamas did not intend on putting the Nativity scene on display – a longtime East Room tradition in the White House. Maybe Rev. Wright didn’t approve of the display, thinking it was racist or something. Todd Starnes of Fox News Radio got a e-mail response from Mrs. America Hater Michelle Obama’s “office” with this response:

Left wing nut job Jeremy Olson throws tomatoes at Sarah Palin in Minnesota, misses and hits cop instead!
From the only state in 1984 to vote for Walter Mondale, to voting for Senator named Al Franken, and who once elected an ex pro-wrestler as its governor, Minnesota can add yet another proud accomplishment to its list of left wing lunacy. Jeremy Olson, “allegedly” threw two tomatoes from the second balcony at the Bloomington Mall of America aiming for Sarah Palin. Problem is with this left wing nut job, he throws like Obama did at the baseball all star game. Jeremy Olson didn’t even come close to hitting Palin during her book signing. Instead, Olson nailed a cop named Mark Stehlik. According to My Fox Twincities:
Safe Schools Czar Kevin Jennings and GLSEN promoted “fisting” to 14 year olds in 2000!
As if this “man” Kevin Jenning, Obama’s Safe School Czar couldn’t get any more disgusting. Lets check out a summary of what Jennings has on his resume. A 15 year old boy tells him he is having an affair with a much older man, and Jennings tells the kid to wear a condom, and doesn’t report pedophila. Kevin Jennings comes out and proclaims his support for NAMBLA (the North America Man Boy Love Association), and Harry Hay. This past weekend, Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit exposed Kevin Jennings and GLSEN promoting book after book after book that contained stories and anecdotes that weren’t merely X-rated and pornographic, but which featured explicit descriptions of sex acts between pre-schoolers; stories that seemed to promote and recommend child-adult sexual relationships; stories of public masturbation, anal sex in restrooms, affairs between students and teachers, five-year-olds playing sex games, semen flying through the air. Today, Hoft posted over at Big Goverment that in the year 2000, Jennings and his group GLSEN promoted ‘fisting’ to 14 year old kids! The following audio/video clip is from a lecture by Scott Whiteman from Mass Resistance. Scott attended the GLSEN conference on March 25, 2000 undercover. He recorded this clip at the GLSEN Conference.

CNN Poll: Palin’s popularity on the rise
While Obama sits at 48% approval rating with all the media slurping, Sarah Palin’s favorable rating on a liberal biased poll like CNN‘s is now approaching his level. Palin’s favorable/unfavorable rating now sits at 46% on both ends, only 2% off Obama’s approval, and up 7% since the summer when Palin’s favorability rating tanked with all the media slurs.

New Obama TWAP posters popping up around Los Angeles
No, its not Barney Frank speak, it’s a brand new poster, in the spirit of the Obama Joker socialism that swept the nation weeks is spreading across Los Angeles, and other parts of the country. This new poster of Obama in a joker/jester head “dress” has his face with the word TWAP under it. TWAP standing for – The Worst American President! ARRA News Service was the first site I’ve seen to mention this. It hasn’t (as of this post) made it to the various other blogs or news pages yet.
Obama now at 47% approval and 46% disapproval on Gallup!
Slip slidin’ away! Obama is now only a +1 on the latest Gallup daily tracking poll. He sits at 47% job approval rating and 46% job DISAPPROVAL rating in the latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking update. This represents not only his lowest job approval rating to date, but also his highest job disapproval rating to date. This Gallup poll also represents the smallest margin between approval and dispproval yet. I guess the little “speech” from West Point didn’t help much in the polls did it? Obama actually polls higher in today’s Rasmussen poll (you know the one liberals call the right wing biased one)? In that poll, he sits at 49% approval.

Harry Reid compares those opposed to ObamaCARE to slavery supporters
Isn’t it ironic when a member of the political party that was the party of slavery, the party of the assassin of Harvey Milk, and the party who has a 90 year old Senator from West Virginia who was a KKK member plays the slavery card? Democrats were the biggest supporters of slavery. All you have to do is look to Robert Byrd to see the true face of the KKK. The good news is, Reid is probably toast in 2010. Anyway, after Obama’s little “pep” talk to the Democrats ONLY this past weekend, Harry Reid decided to compare health care reform to slavery.

NPR’s Mara Liasson pressured over appearances on ‘Fox allstars panel’
Looks like NPR signed up for Obama’s “war” on Fox News that backfired in his face. According to Politico, executives at National Public Radio recently asked the network’s top political correspondent, Mara Liasson, to reconsider her regular appearances on Fox News because of what they perceived as the network’s political bias, two sources familiar with the effort said.
Siberian hackers linked to Climategate!
Can you feel the irony? An investigation by The UK Mail on Sunday has discovered that the explosive hacked emails from the University of East Anglia were leaked via a small web server in the formerly closed city of Tomsk in Siberia! The leaks scandal has left the so called “scientific community” in disarray after its been revealed how the key climate change data was manipulated in the run-up to the climate change summit of world leaders. Barbara Boxer of course calles this “E-mail theft Gate”. According to this Times Online article, UN officials are whining about the Russians being paid to be hackers.
Obama gives DEMOCRAT Senators “pep talk” behind closed doors, locks out Republicans
Well I guess this could be considered “not just democrats”, since this “pep talk” included the two liberal “independent” Senators Joe Lieberman and Bernie Sanders too. The most “transparent” adminstration ever decided pop off for a rare weekend meeting on Capitol Hill on Sunday. According to USA today, Obama reminded Democratic senators of the economic crisis facing the nation and implored them to press on with their 10-year, $848 billion health care bill. Yet Obama claims their was no “negotations”, just simply that was was a “pep talk”.
“That wasn’t a negotiation, it was a pep talk,” the president told reporters as he emerged from the meeting, which lasted about 30 minutes. “They’re doing great,” he said, predicting that lawmakers are “going to get it done.”
RINO John McCain wasn’t too happy about this secret, closed door “pep talk” or whatever you want to call it either.
Saturday Night Live does Obama with the White House Party Crashers (Tareq Salahi And Michaele Salahi)
Saturday Night Live is getting better at mocking Obama. When you watch the following video, notice how the character playing Obama is finally starting to bobble his head reading a teleprompter, just like Obama. But that was not the main theme of this video, it was to mock the so called White House party crashers Tareq Salahi And Michaele Salahi. It’s actually quite well done, in fact it may delay a CNN fact check it was so good.
Copenhagen climate summit: 1,200 limos, 140 private planes and caviar wedges
You want to talk about a carbon footprint? Lets take for instance, Majken Friss Jorgensen, managing director of Copenhagen’s biggest limousine company. She says her firm normally has twelve vehicles on the road during any random day. During the “summit to save the world”, which opens in Denmark on Monday, she will have 200. Jorgensen says that between her and her rivals the total number of limos in Copenhagen next week has already broken the 1,200 barrier. The French alone rang up on Thursday and ordered another 42!
“We haven’t got enough limos in the country to fulfil the demand,” she says. “We’re having to drive them in hundreds of miles from Germany and Sweden.”
According to the UK Telegraph, the Copenhagen airport says it is expecting up to 140 extra private jets during the peak period alone, so far over its capacity that the planes will have to fly off to regional airports – or to Sweden – to park, returning to Copenhagen to pick up their VIP passengers.’
