Video: Donald Trump Rails Against “Inconsiderate Obama” For Planning His NYC Fund-Raiser The Same Night As The Xmas Tree Lighting at Rockefeller Center

Donald Trump is ticked off! Just saw this video on Greta Van Susteren of Trump  railing against Obama for planning to have his fundraiser near Rockefeller Center on the same night as the big Christmas Tree lighting.

He smells a rat- “This President is a much different person than most people know…”–and  he thinks it’s selfish and inconsiderate of Obama to do this: “He doesn’t govern –all he does is raise money so he can try to get reelected and put this country further in the hole.”

He concludes, “Stop with the fund-raisers and start running the country, because you are doing one hell of a lousy job!”

AWESOME.

“Gridlock Sam” of NY Daily News  is issuing a “gridlock alert” for Wednesday:

As the 2 p.m. shows let out, theatre-goers will join thousands of tree-goers at Rockefeller Center. Fifth and Sixth Aves., 48th to 51st Sts.,will close as early as 4 p.m. and remain closed past 11 p.m. Several local and express buses will be detoured. Take the 1 train to 50th St. or the N, R to 49th St.

Meanwhile, President Obama touches down at JFK Airport around 5 p.m. Wednesday. He’ll chopper to Wall St. before heading up the FDR Drive (frozen in both directions below 63rd St) and likely to the 42nd St. exit where he’ll then hit three fund-raisers. Here’s your gridlock list. Times are approximate:

n Stop 1: 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. – upper East Side residence. Freezes on Park/Madison/Fifth Aves., 59th to 79th Sts. in addition to FDR in above paragraph.

n Stop 2: 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. – Washington Square Park area between 10th and 20th Sts. (note: tree lit just before 9 p.m.)

n Stop 3: 9 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. – Heads to Sheraton Hotel, Seventh Ave. and 52nd St. Sixth/Seventh Aves. frozen up to 59th St.

n 10:30 p.m. to 11 p.m.: President Obama heads back to Wall St. Heliport for the chopper to JFK. FDR frozen below 63rd St. along with all avenues east of Seventh.

The all-clear won’t be till after 11 p.m. With many buses delayed and detoured while the President motorcades all over Manhattan, the subway will be your best option. I’m also expecting some Occupy Wall Street protesters to hit at least one of the fundraisers. I’ll be tweeting regularly at http://www.twitter.com/GridlockSam.

Sheriff Babeu: Obama and Holder Running For Cover On Fast and Furious + Holder Lashes Out At Daily Caller: “You Guys Need To Stop This”

Sheriff Babeu still outraged over the senseless murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, who he notes, served on the border with his brother, blasted Attorney General Holder and President Obama in an interview with NRA News, yesterday.

“They don’t want to take responsibility for things they’ve done that have resulted in the murder of our hero, border patrol agent, Brian Terry.”

“Who speaks for him?”, Babeu demanded. “Who stands up for his rights?”

“These people run for cover. Not the bad guys.  Eric Holder. Obama. None of them having the honor of their office to accept responsibility because they’re in charge – they have the audacity (not of hope) the audacity to say on national TV, “Let’s be careful here, we can’t necessarily connect Fast and Furious to the murder of this agent. Well, let me tell you something, two guns that were found on the scene that murdered Brian Terry were facilitated into the hands of these criminals and were found on that crime scene. That’s what we call in law enforcement, ‘evidence’.”

Meanwhile, the Attorney General, back from his taxpayer-funded Caribbean junket, is feeling quite put upon because  a certain conservative blog has been diligently tracking the number of Republicans in Congress demanding he step down:

Attorney General Eric Holder on Tuesday told a reporter with the conservative news website The Daily Caller that the news organization was ginning up calls for him to resign over ATF’s botched Operation Fast and Furious.

The reporter approached Holder after an event at the White House on the federal government’s efforts to combat counterfeit goods.

“You guys need to… you guys need to stop this,” TPM heard Holder tell the reporter. “There’s not a damn thing happening, you guys are behind this.”

That was TPM, by the way, so naturally they use the “botched” descriptor – it was all one big oopsie!  Ryan J. Reilly is also careful to note at the end of his piece that ‘problems with “gun walking” in ATF’s Phoenix office predate the Obama administration.’ Of course. It was Bush’s fault.

Except the operation  in 2006 was much smaller (and was ended as soon as guns were lost), worked with the Mexican Government, and  the ATF actually made an effort to track the guns. Key differences that don’t ever seem to get mentioned by the equivocators. Holder himself knew better than to equivocate the two operations  in his own testimony on Capitol Hill.  

UPDATE:

Now The Daily Caller has their story up – with audio: Holder lashes out at The Daily Caller while refusing to address growing calls for his resignation:

What was actually said:

The reporter asked him for a response to the growing chorus of federal legislators demanding his resignation.

Holder stepped towards the exit, then turned around, stepped back toward the reporter, and sternly said, “You guys need to — you need to stop this. It’s not an organic thing that’s just happening. You guys are behind it.”

Holder then walked offstage without answering TheDC’s request for comment about calls for his resignation.

Dave Workman, Gun Rights Examiner: Does Grassley’s latest barrage signal bad moon rising for Holder?

Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley’s two new blistering commentaries on Operation Fast and Furious and Attorney General Eric Holder’s curious lack of knowledge about that operation’s direct link to the slaying of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry last year may signal what awaits Holder next week when he is scheduled to appear before the House Judiciary Committee.   Grassley threw a left jab at Holder Monday and followed it up today with a right hook that – if this were a boxing match – might have left the embattled attorney general on the mat. All of this is fascinating Pacific Northwest gun owners, who have been following this story for months here and here, and on other gun rights forums as well.

Uncovered Video: Obama Reminisces About His Dear Old Pastor Jeremiah Wright

Back in 2006, Obama just couldn’t find enough good things to say about his beloved pastor at Trinity United Church of Christ.

Kudos to The Daily Caller for finding this little gem of a video, which Republicans will use in 2012 if they have any sense at all, (so don’t count on it)..

Video obtained exclusively by The Daily Caller shows Illinois Senator Barack Obama, then campaigning for Democrats before the 2006 midterm elections, praising Reverend Jeremiah Wright and telling an audience that he “stole” the title of his book “The Audacity of Hope” from Wright’s sermon of the same name, which he “loved.” Obama also referred to Wright as “my pastor.”

Of course he referred to Wright as “his Pastor”. He was Obama’s Pastor until the Spring of 2008 when the nation was recoiling in horror at videos revealing all the unholy and outrageous things that had come out of the man’s mouth while Obama was *definitely* not sitting in the pews. Wright was among  the first of many of Obama’s radical pals who ended up under the bus. 

As the Caller notes:

In April 2008, Obama said of Wright, “When he states and then amplifies such ridiculous propositions as the U.S. government somehow being involved in AIDS; when he suggests that Minister Farrakhan somehow represents one of the greatest voices of the 20th and 21st century; when he equates the United States’s wartime efforts with terrorism, then there are no excuses. They offend me, they rightly offend all Americans, and they should be denounced. And that’s what I’m doing very clearly and unequivocally here today.”

After witnessing 31/2 years of his economy crushing policies,  can America really still believe that Obama’s rejection of Wright’s  anti-Americanism was sincere?

Another blast from the past: Obama calling Wright “a wonderful man” in a 1995 interview:

A video compilation of Obama’s wonderful Pastor in action:

Does any of this matter, given that the Obama campaign seems to be favoring a demographic that excludes working class white voters, anyway?

All pretense of trying to win a majority of the white working class has been effectively jettisoned in favor of cementing a center-left coalition made up, on the one hand, of voters who have gotten ahead on the basis of educational attainment — professors, artists, designers, editors, human resources managers, lawyers, librarians, social workers, teachers and therapists — and a second, substantial constituency of lower-income voters who are disproportionately African-American and Hispanic.

A recent Gallup Poll has Obama’s Approval Rating Among Independent Voters at 30%…

We need to keep chipping away at that. Why would any Independents still be supporting him at this point?
