This'n'That; June Twenty-Second [Impeachment?]






"Clown Prince" obama-Impeachable Offenses?
What has he done and when did he do it?? 
What does he know and when did he know it??

Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution reads: "The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."
     "Clown Prince" obama’s chief of staff used former President Bill Clinton as an intermediary to see if Representative Joe Sestak would drop out of a Senate primary if given a prominent, but unpaid, advisory position, people briefed on the matter said Friday.  These unpaid positions still have value, or no one would take them;  no one would give up a seat in Congress or a chance for a Senate seat for nothing.  Mr. Emanuel was eager last summer to clear the way to this year’s Democratic Senate nomination for Mr. Specter, who had just left the Republican party to join the Democrats and bolster their majority in the Senate. Mr. Sestak, a retired admiral and two-term House member, was already planning a run.
    You see, it was all Rahm Emanuel’s fault, obama didn’t have a thing to do with it.  In tapping Mr. Clinton as the go-between, Mr. Emanuel picked the party’s most prominent figure other than obama and someone Mr. Sestak had worked for on the National Security Council staff in the 1990s.
Surely that was just a coincidence. It’s not like they needed to get their stories straight. After all,  obama had nothing to do with the job(s) offer.
     As chief of staff and previously as chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Mr. Emanuel has not been shy about trying to steer party nominations to those he considers the stronger candidates. The White House under Mr. Emanuel has also leaned on Gov. David Paterson of New York to drop out of this year’s gubernatorial race, which he eventually did.   Andrew Romanoff, challenging Sen. Michael Bennet in a Colorado primary, has said Mr. Emanuel’s deputy, Jim Messina, offered him a job to drop out.  All of which are probably, illegal as well. In any case, there is the appearance of wrong-doing.  So by DC tradition, we must have at least a ‘special counsel’ to investigate.

Ya think that's bad, check this shit out!!

[From the Wall Street Journal:] "Clown Prince" obama’s oil drilling moratorium will cost tens of thousands of American jobs. But, not everyone will suffer. Oil companies are planning on moving their rigs from the Gulf of Mexico to South America off the coast of Brazil where the government is more friendly to energy corporations. Brazil and primary obama 'handler' George Soros could benefit from the BP Gulf of Mexico spill as a U.S. moratorium on offshore drilling boosts available rigs for the country’s deep water oil exploration program. Even as an ecological catastrophe makes the future of U.S. offshore drilling less certain, Brazil is plowing ahead with a $220 billion five-year plan to tap oil fields even deeper than BP’s ill-fated Gulf well. With an estimated 35 rigs idled in the Gulf of Mexico, Brazil is already receiving inquiries from companies looking to move their rigs here, where vast discoveries in recent years may soon turn the country into a major crude exporter.

[From Bloomberg News:]  Billionaire investor George Soros bought an $811 million stake in Petroleo Brasileiro SA in the second quarter, making the Brazilian state-controlled oil company his investment fund's largest holding. As of June 30, the stake in Petrobras, as the Rio de Janeiro-based oil producer is known, made up 22 percent of the $3.68 billion of stocks and American depositary receipts held by Soros Fund Management LLC.


[From Gateway; Free Republic; Reuters:]
"Clown Prince" obama Underwrites Offshore Drilling. Unfortunately, the obama Administration is financing oil exploration off Brazil. The U.S. is going to lend billions of dollars to Brazil's state-owned oil company, Petrobras, to finance exploration of the huge offshore discovery in Brazil's Tupi oil field in the Santos Basin near Rio de Janeiro. Brazil's planning minister confirmed that White House National Security Adviser James Jones met this month with Brazilian officials to talk about the loan. The U.S. Export-Import Bank tells us it has issued a "preliminary commitment" letter to Petrobras in the amount of $2 billion and has discussed with Brazil the possibility of increasing that amount. Ex-Im Bank says it has not decided whether the money will come in the form of a direct loan or loan guarantees. Either way, this corporate foreign aid may strike some readers as odd, given that the U.S. Treasury seems desperate for cash and Petrobras is one of the largest corporations in the Americas.


    This screw-ball drilling moratorium from this screw-ball "Clown Prince"  will devastate the gulf coast states for years to come!!  Not only those oil workers who will be unemployed but the billions of dollars in 'collateral damage' to all the oil related businesses-Hell, to the gulf region businesses in general.

More about George Soros:

  •     In 1988, he was asked to join a takeover attempt of the French bank Société Générale. He declined to participate in the bid but later bought a number of shares in the company. French authorities began an investigation in 1989, and in 2002 a French court ruled that it was insider trading, a felony conviction as defined under French securities laws, and fined him $2.3 million, which was the amount that he made using the insider information.
  •     On Black Wednesday (September 16, 1992), Soros's fund sold short more than $10 billion worth of pounds sterling, profiting from the Bank of England's reluctance to either raise its interest rates to levels comparable to those of other European Exchange Rate Mechanism countries or to float its currency.  Finally, the Bank of England withdrew the currency from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, devaluing the pound sterling, and Soros earned an estimated $1.1 billion in the process. He was dubbed "the man who broke the Bank of England." In 1997, the UK Treasury estimated the cost of Black Wednesday at £3.4 billion.
  • Soros gave $3 million to the Center for American Progress, $5 million to MoveOn.org, and $10 million to America Coming Together. These groups work to support democrats.
  • Soros and other donors backed a new political fundraising group called Democracy Alliance which supported the goals of the democratic party.  Soros supported the McCain-Feingold Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, which many hoped would end "soft money" contributions to federal election campaigns. Soros has made soft money donations to 527 organizations that he says do not raise the same corruption issues as donations directly to the candidates or political parties.
  • Soros hired Van Jones soon after he was fired from his political pay-off job at the White House, due to Jones' support and promotion of communism.
  • Soros has lbeen considered by some conservatives to be the "Chairman of the Bored" of the group who 'handle'  "Clown Prince" obama's thoughts and actions.
