I, of all people, shouldn’t be surprised by anything Obama does, but watching clips of his latest performance on The View television show was a painful reminder of why he is the very personification of Erebus. We know he is dishonest, and, while acknowledging that all politicians are inherently dishonest on some level, he lowers that bar to nearly even with the floor.
His comments that JP Morgan losing $2 billion proves the need for more regulations, are a disgrace. He is the politician who famously said, “markets will go up and down.” The causal pretense of supreme erudition pursuant to a semblance of knowledge and desire for financial accountability was an appalling act. It was appalling second only to the coven gathered on the couch surrounding him.
As financial analyst and investor Charles Paine pointed out, JP Morgan lost $2 billion of their own money, which in factuality was approximately two-percent of their money. The operative words are “that it was their money.” It didn’t belong to the taxpayers. With that said, when did a private investment company, losing money on a legal and legitimate business venture, become the business of the government, much less that of Obama?
I have a few things that are Obama’s business that would be good for him to address. I want him to address why his wife was not prosecuted, or, at the very least, why she wasn’t investigated for falsely identifying her daughters as senior aids on her African trip. I may be incorrect, but I thought it was against the law to knowingly falsify information on government documents, not to mention when the information is for traveling abroad.
I want to know why he sees the need for more banking regulations because JP Morgan lost money on a legitimate business venture that was between them and their investors–yet he views himself as above such accountability. He has squandered perhaps as much as $10 billion of our hard-earned tax dollars on Solyndra and 11 other green energy companies. The money JP Morgan lost was a gamble pursuant to what they do. They are in business to take informed risks that, if successful, will make their stockholders money. Obama was not elected to pass around our money to those he determines to be worthy. That, in and of itself, is illegal. Government is constitutionally forbidden from favoring one sector and/or one business over another; it must treat all equally. Yet not only does Obama do it, but he doubles down on it. How about we demand investigations into that practice?
I say we should demand investigation into the billions of our tax dollars that Obama has handed out to failed energy companies and to unions. We should demand to know if any of those tax dollars found their way back into his campaign coffers.
I say we need an investigation in how much of our money the arrogant racialist he is married to spends on herself and her lavish vacations. We are aware that she spends $15,000 a day for the same makeup person Oprah uses, and that she spent $50,000 in one afternoon at a shop that is advertised as the most exclusive exotic lingerie shop in the world. Let’s call for congressional hearings into whether it was her money or the taxpayers‘ money. Let’s call for full investigations into whether or not she has reimbursed the American taxpayers for tens of millions she has spent on her lavish vacations, travel, and personal interests.
Obama and Congress are quick to condemn the legitimate business dealings of private industry, so why wasn’t Charles Rangel indicted for knowingly committing tax violations? Why isn’t Nancy Pelosi investigated to see if she has reimbursed the taxpayers for commandeering Air Force aircraft for personal use by her, her family, and friends? Oh, did I leave out that each trip included the best wines, liquors, and food?
Corruption in Obama’s administration is rife; it is on a level that at least parallels the most corrupt in history, and yet it continues without investigation. Obama, himself, has defied the courts who instructed him to allow the resumption of drilling in the Gulf.
Why not investigate what he is hiding that would be damaging to the point that he would have to step down and face the worst humiliation of any president? Admittedly, I am presuming that to be the case, but what other reasons could there be for his spending millions to keep his background concealed? Why would he try to buy his pastor’s silence? With the collective resolve to uncover the truth about his birth certificate, his draft card, and his social security card–shouldn’t Congress be calling for full investigations into these things? As a matter of fact, why aren’t they?
Shouldn’t Obama have demanded Eric Holder appoint a special investigator to look into the voter–intimidation charges in Philadelphia, PA? Why hasn’t Obama demanded Holder fully comply with the Congressional Committees pursuant to Fast and Furious, and to do it with all possible haste? Where is his moral outrage over the murder of Border Security Officer Brian Terry, who died because of the actions of those in his administration? Where is his moral outrage over the hundreds and possibly thousands of Mexicans who died because of Fast and Furious?
There are a lot of things that Obama should be calling for regulatory review and thorough investigations into: starting with his own office, including the role of Valerie Jarrett in former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich’s illegal machinations.
And hypocrisies of hypocrisies, former chairman of MF Global, Jon Corzine, admitted that $1.2 billion of customers’ money was mysteriously missing which led to MF Global filing for bankruptcy: the eighth-largest bankruptcy in U.S. history. And yet Corzine continues as one of Obama’s most prolific campaign bundlers, simply saying he “does not know where the money is.”
But Obama sat on the set of the television show The View and spun lies knowing that the media would not hold him accountable, and that many people would just accept his lies. I always thought we were smarter than that. If investigations and sanctions are necessary into JP Morgan, then they must be demanded for his administration. JP Morgan lost its own money; Obama is purposely losing ours. And losing it at an unsustainable rate. JP Morgan had the approval of its shareholders; Obama doesn’t have the approval of we the taxpayers to look down on us and do with our money as he pleases.

Obama’s criticism of JP Morgan is a smokescreen. On one hand, he calls for investigation and on the other he states that Jamie Dimon is the smartest banker in the country. There’s power in creating illusions — just like the illusion he created of himself in campaigning in 2008. Here’s the illusion, he’s down on Wall Street and wants investigations, Dimon criticizes the need for more financial regulations and on Meet the Press states that while a Democract he will not vote for O this year. Well, here’s what I think is going to happen. Dimon is from Chicago, has been known as a big Democrat backer, has made his millions, and is “probably” ready to “retire” (that is said tongue-in-cheek). Geithner has basically announced he will not stay for Obama’s second term. OK — Jamie Dimon will be our next Secretary of Treasure. He can be part of the Washington, DC Chicago machine. His investments will continue to bring in millions, and he will help to fill the pockets of Obama and his loyals. And they criticize that Romney makes millions off his investments. Hypocrisy!!!! I’d rather see a multi-million in the WH who knows how to run business, handle debt, and is not looking at the Presidency as a way to become a multi-millionaire! Obama and many of the Democrats look at politics as their way to wealth — instead of earning it through their business abilities.
nee43: there has never been a man I find more repulsive than obama…
How about we all quit ranting on computers, put obama masks on & hold a sign in 1 hand & bucket in the other off major highway ramps and public places with sign saying “fired from job, need to get back to kenya asap, please donate”. I bet we the American people can come up with more money to oust obama than the Hollywood idiots come up with to help him stay.
diane: what a marvelous idea…I love…we should get a send him back to kenya day as you describe…pack up his entire family to go will him…including the dog…people in kenya gotta eat too…
Bill Sr. almost has it right. But how about something like this …
What if the Tea Party (or, say, Glenn Beck who is really good at putting these things together) organized a “demonstration” the next time Holder gets called before Issa’s committee.
Can’t you just see it now? Tens of thousands of people sitting on the steps of Congress, all of them saying nothing … and all of them carrying signs that say, “If I had a son, he would look like Brian Terry.”
Even the brain-dead Democrats (but then I’m repeating myself, aren’t I?) like Chucky Schumer, Nancy “Insider-trading Maven” Pelosi, Harry “No legislation gets by me” Reid, and Debbie “I’m not just ugly; I’m also stupid” Wasserman Shultz might get it. Then again, maybe not.
Just make sure that Rep. Clyburn isn’t passing by … or we’ll get another round of, “They spit on me and called me the N-word” … whatever that means. (Just remember … “Nincompoop” is also an “N-word”.)
brian: so is nasty and narcissistic…and both fit…
This massive, criminal fraud against America goes on and on, seeming to gather momentum with each passing day. But here is a spot of good news: The House just stripped DOJ funds for pursuing lawsuits against the several states that have had the nerve to pass their own laws to deal with the illegal immigration that is so devastating to them. Now we will see how obozo and holder maneuver to get around that and continue to find ways to harass these little pipsqueak states that have dared to try to secure their citizens against the blatant federal open border and gun running policies that have directly contributed to the murder of at least hundreds south of the border and some of our own north of the border, including BP Agent Brian Terry. Or will they just arrogantly ignore those pesky House legislators and somehow illegally pull funds through other agencies? Who knows but what we do know is they pay no attention to any laws or restrictions that hinder the furtherance of their treasonous objective of destroying the infrastructure of this nation. And speaking of ‘infrastructure’ obama has seen to it that multi-billion dollar contracts for repair or construction of bridges, etc., have been given to Chinese companies and that those companies may and will bring workers and Chinese manufactured materials from China to do the construction. Supposedly justified according to a government spokesman, because the Chinese can complete the projects faster and do better work than American companies because we are short of welders! Anyone that can be so blind as to believe his lies about creating and protecting American jobs does NOT deserve to live in this country so let them go elsewhere. What a bunch of bovine scat as Rush would say! Again, the arrogance of this administration in ignoring laws and regulations that are inconvenient to their agenda, i.e., to use American contractors and materials for such projects, is appalling. Yet he is allowed to plow us under because for some reason(s) I cannot fathom, everyone that could and should do something about it seems to be afraid of him and his goons. Is life so dear to them they would live in servitude rather than stand up for freedom?
I must say I totally agree with the premise of J. McClain’s last paragraph. I do not have a large enough lawn to hold all the DOJ so would limit the invitation the top curs, then let them try to arrest me and I guarantee I will not submit to arrest nor will I leave alone for I too swore an oath to fight all enemies, including the domestic ones and that oath had no definite expiration date.
“ …. Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, …. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne! …. Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” Patrick Henry, 23 March 1775, excerpts.
wakinyan: there’s plenty that can be done that hasn’t been done yet…
You are spot on Mychal. Obama and his minions get all the press and their message is class warfare and trying to demonize Mitt Romney and ANYONE who disagrees with them. Let’s hope the American people can see through all this in November – my final prayer of each day is, “Please, Lord, do not let Obama be relected!” I agree with Darryl that congress needs to get some cohones and stand up to Obama, Schumer, Pelosi, Reid and OMG Debbie Wasserman Schultz! Oh yes, and Michele should be called out for all she does like those things you mention, but anyone who did would be called a racist or worse. I actually think she may be more evil than her husband.
karon: therein lies the part of the problem…we must stop caring what they call us…
I too am often frustrated by the lack of media attention to these things, but given their overwhelmingly liberal bias, I don’t wonder why.
What I DO wonder – and this is a question, so I’m open to answers – is what ever happened to the system of checks and balances in our government? Where is the outrage in the Congress at the way Obama marginalizes, ignores, and holds them in contempt?
WHY WON’T CONGRESS DO ANYTHING ABOUT HIM??????
Sorry…had to get that out. Oh, and, if anyone wonders, I have written to my reps in Congress, and gotten NO response. Not so much as a brush-off letter.
darryl roberts: congress does nothing because boehner mcconnell et al have serious case of intrauterine torsion…and in this instance it is shutting off blood supply to the brain as well…
Thanks, Mychal. Big Government needs to stay out of other’s business. Proven time and time again. I was thrilled when Ford said, hands-OFF. Chase will recover quite nicely if Obama will stay the h…out of it. Dictators are like that, though. They never know when to stop usurping. They can’t stop or they lose control that they must have; need lots of slaves for the communist/marxist dictator. OK, so we know Obama is a fraud. His past is coming up to kick him in the zook. Soros $$$$ forgot to hide a few things about Obama’s past. Bilderbergs weren’t doing their job. Obama’s bucks couldn’t cover all of his past because he forgot what all to cover. Can the States form a posse and take gathered, proven information to the Supreme Court to get this jackass out of the Oval Office? It not, looks like The People will have to do it and that won’t be pretty.
marilyn: people initiated the eligibility cases against him…
What Mr. Massie is not saying is the fact that every aspect of his question, the whole column truly being one large question, goes back to a matter of incompetence, or deliberate mafeseance, with the full intent to “fundementally transform our Nation” into a communist form, with totalitarian government, with the purpose being to bury the truth of our Nation’s heritage, as our founding documents, our Declaration of Independence defining how we find natural rights, by self evident truths, the statement All Men are endowed by Their Creator with certain Un-alienable rights, and men institute governments solely for the purpose of protecting those rights.
This, parallel with our Constitution, which demonstrates the means of “constituting a government” on a fixed set of laws, established by representatives of “Sovereign Citizens” whose consent is the only authority any government can ever legitimately have.
The world must get rid of our form, so no one is reminded of our statements, which can be removed from most public places, and those who remember and speak out, will be a minority who may just be executed out of hand, for speaking against government.
Mychal cannot state this as a fact, because he must be able to prove in an enemy court, any assertions of the sort. I, on the other hand, only need to keep and bear arms, as I will never submit my statement is sufficient for indictment, and I will deny any “probable cause” as existing, and if I am to be arrested, let it be by the whole of the Justice Department, each and every member, I have plenty of lawn for all of them to gather on. They are invited, although I won’t say welcome, they are invited because they are a domestic enemy I remain sworn to fight, and I would look forward to such a thing.

john mcclain: I may not be able to say it but I will not stand by and allow passively allow my country to be further taken over by marxists…
WE ALL HAVE HEARD ENOUGH . WE KNOW WHAT HE IS & WHAT HE IS DOING TO THE COUNTRY . WE HAVE CURES FOR ALMOST EVERYTHING BUT YOU CAN’T CURE STUPID .THE PROBLEM IS THERE ARE TOO MANY STUPID PEOPLE THAT JUST DON’T OR DO NOT WANT TO GET IT.UNTIL WE COME UP WITH A CURE WE ARE DOOMED !!
ed: I agree w/ you only to the extent that those early patriots who gathered on the steps of the old north church knew they were doing so in spite of the sentiment that many of those they were prepared to die for didn’t agree w/ what they were doing…
It’s simple for Nobama, “Do as I say, not as I do”. Where are the people in power with the courage to do the right thing? If he wins again, I may check into flights to Singapore – I’ve heard it’s nice there.
dlb: we should ship him and his ilk to some third world country…not have us be forced out…
I read the article on Breitbart. It confirms what many of us suspected already. The Great IMPOSTER is just that. He should be run out of office immediately…no allowing to run for office again. Unfortunately our Congress is largely useless in matters of this sort. Both Republicans and Democrats are enabling him to continue with his master plan to destroy this country. I also do not understand why Michelle can spend inordinate amounts of money on personal things (make up artist, fancy lingerie, trips to whereever she has a yen to go)…all on taxpayers dime. Mychal, PLEASE keep up the good work. At least your readers have a clue on the situation. Thanks!!!
darlene: he is the most contemptible and offensive human to ever occupy public office…he surpasses schumer pelosi reid wasserman boehner mccain the congressional black congress and the rest of those like him…and by no means leave out that commie bovine he calls wife…
As Rush says: “Right on, right on”! Mr. Arrogant with his nose up in the air looking down at us “poor folk”!!
WHO IS BARACK OBAMA??? Put this up everywhere you can (posters, emails, facebook, notes, letters, bumper stickers)
We want answers to WHO IS BARACK OBAMA???
nancibelle: I’ll settle for to just be in jail…35 yrs to life no parole…
all of this is a ruse to steal money from the people. he should be impeached already.
dave buls: there are stiffer penalties for treason…
Alas this is yet more proof that Obama feels that ALL of our money is rightfully his. JP didn’t lose THEIR money, they lost Obama’s money. Goes right with Obama’s “spending through the tax code” idea. Don’t you get it yet? The only reason we have any money at all is because the government “lets us keep it.” Slavery is back!
j-m: slavery never left…it was just disguised…
Rant on Mychal… Thank Goodness someone has the fortitude to tell it like it is… God bless you Mychal.
t. snyder: not fortitude my friend…it is willingness…
Congress has not been rendered speechless by this administration. It’s just a casual observation you understand but with their preoccupation of searching in vein for their spines, they just have a full plate. One sees where pity might come into play as Amereica watches. Perhaps this is just a newer definition of, “usefull idiots”.
thom’s thumb: can’t say that I disagree w/ you…
How about investigating his birth background? When and where was he born? Who was his real biological father (if he has one)? Since he was once held British/Kenyan and Indonesian citizenships, when did he legally become an American citizen?
bordercollieman: we should fight him and investigate him from every possible including shining flashlights from the bottom up and throat down…
Once again, I have posted Mychal’s Rant to my Facebook page.
swamprat: thk you much…
It just blows me away that the liberal media refuses to call this racist crook out. I DVR’ed that View episode. But after hearing and reading what BO said, I have yet been able to bring myself to watch it. More curisously I am looking forward to Elizabeth’s reactions.
Thank you Mr. Massie for your excellence in journalism. I thouroughly enjoy your daily rants. Someone has to keep us informed. Even Fox News is begining to let us down.
bill mason: fox news has made a fatal miscalculation that they can produce news we are forced to watch…
“Where is his moral outrage over the murder of Border Security Officer Brian Terry, who died because of the actions of those in his administration? Where is his moral outrage over the hundreds and possibly thousands of Mexicans who died because of Fast and Furious?”
All of those calling for Holder and Obama to come clean on Fast and Furious as well as the rest of us shoud be shouting “If I had a son he would look like Brian Terry” in Obama’s face.
bill sr: Katie Pavlich who has written the definitive book about fast and furious and obama’s involvement will be my guest on june 5 at 3pm eastern for full hour to discuss fast and furious…we will have free teleconference and take questions time allowing…
Todays rant just points out Comrade Obama is a fraud and has no leadership skills. Comrade complains and barks at JP yet he accepts Jamie Dimon’s donations to his campaighn fund. Additionally Obumber keeps a very healthy checking account at JP. The man speaks out of both sides of his mouth and neither side shows any qualities
doug: he does that even though jon corzine is lauded as one of his chief bundlers…corzine claims to have misplaced $1.2 billion of client money…nothing happens…under jaime dimon jp morgan loses $2 billion on a legitimate investment venture consistent with what they do…it was their money no client money loss…but the dogs go after dimon…need I paint more of the picture…
And to add one more “item” to your list, Mychal….I am posting the following link with the hopes that everyone will read it. It appears that the spirit of Andrew Breitbart is alive and well:

Born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii? Really? Really? So what are we going to do about this?
rvd: oh c’mon…you know that’s nothing more than a typo…and it must be true…he and his people say it…
