“An educated scoundrel is still a scoundrel.”

Who’s there?

Yes, the woman who bragged about recruiting Marxist rabble-rouser Van Jones is lambasting conservatives for spurning radical leftist ACORN/Big Labor embracer Dede Scozzafava:
White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that the rise of a Conservative Party challenger in a closely watched upstate New York House election shows that the Republican [...]

There’s a new website dedicated to exposing White House senior adviser/Chicago consigliere/real estate mogul Valerie Jarrett.
Call her out.
Policing Obama’s culture of corruption takes eternal vigilance.

Speaking truth to power.

Here’s the First Lady’s latest video pitch for Obamacare aimed at women:

Nope, still no mention of the mother of Dontae Adams, one of the minority patients on Chicago’s southside shipped out of the University of Chicago Medical Center under the patient-dumping program spearheaded by Mrs. Obama, Valerie Jarrett, and David Axelrod.
FLOTUS skates again.

Last night, it was Michelle Obama shunning the hostile and dangerous territory of South Carolina.
Today, Bookworm Room notes this San Francisco Chronicle column item reporting that President Obama is hiding from the leftists in San Francisco:
The White House’s fear of protests from Code Pink and other left-wingers has put the brakes on President Obama making [...]

First, the White House goes to war with Fox News.
Now, if Democrat Rep. James Clyburn is to be believed, it looks like the First Lady is spoiling for a tiff with the state of South Carolina.
Is there anyone Team Obama isn’t willing to alienate these days?
Via the SC Post and Courier:
U.S. House Majority Whip Jim [...]

Legacy.

Yesterday, we chuckled over the indecision-themed “word art” that the Obamas chose to hang in the White House.
Today, a Free Republic poster notices another of the Obamas’ curious art choices: “Watusi (Hard Edge),” by Alma Thomas, who is described by the NYTimes as “a longtime Washington resident who is an African-American painter.”
Alma Thomas’s “Watusi” (1963) [...]

My column commemorates the noble Olympic “sacrifice” of the First Lady in Denmark.
Mrs. O’s emotional pitch was supposed to bring tears to the eyes of the audience, according to crony White House Olympics cheerleader Valerie Jarrett. Chicagoans are no doubt shedding tears — over the ballooning costs [...]

When I worked in Seattle covering corporate welfare and city government, I became strange bedfellows with a diverse alliance of libertarians on the right and Ralph Naderites on the left who oppose “public-private partnership” deals between developers and statist Democrat AND Republican politicians.
These “public-private partnership” scams inevitably involve tax-increment financing gimmickry to siphon off tax [...]

Michelle Obama wants you to know that the all-out Chicago Olympics bid is not for The Cronies.
It’s for…The Children!
Especially, says Mrs. O, the fat children:
We need all of our children to be exposed to the Olympic ideals that athletes from around the world represent, particularly this time in our nation’s history, where athletics is [...]

My syndicated column today — reprinted below with added links, pics, and info — gives you a rundown of the Obama cronies inside and outside the White House who stand to gain the most from the Chicago 2016 Olympic bid.
Chicagoans of all political stripes who oppose massive government funding of Mayor Richard [...]

Playing games.

Last week, I spotlighted Valerie Jarrett and Michelle Obama’s collaborative efforts to push their mentor, friend, and former employer Chicago mayor Richard Daley’s bid to bring the Olympics to Chicago in 2016.
From now until Oct. 2, when the International Olympic Committee votes on the decision in Copenhagen, I’ll keep tabs on all the Chicago scheming [...]

“Crushed.”

Cronies.

Yes, it’s time for another hard-hitting Michelle Obama media moment.
Nope, no one decided to shed light last night on Michelle Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Susan Sher, and David Axelrod’s role in creating a patient-dumping scheme
at the University of Chicago Medical Center — and what it might portend under Obamacare.
But the Huffington Post did enlighten readers [...]

“Flip-out.”

Short shrift.

The Obama administration encourages you to report “casual conversations” and “fishy” statements of your fellow Americans to the health care czar.
But if you want to take a cell phone photo of the First Lady eating a cheeseburger, you are out of luck.

The other Michelle
Stacy McCain blogs about Chapter 2 of Culture of Corruption, which spotlights First Crony Michelle Obama.
Word from the American Spectator is that Republicans on the Hill are taking a renewed interest in the role Mrs. O and her Chicago crony friends (Valerie Jarrett, David Axelrod, Susan Sher) played in the University of Chicago [...]

Glamour shots vs. Grove Parc slums.

The left-wingers don’t like anyone who calls Michelle Obama what she is — the First Crony. Media Matters is up in arms over my chat with America’s Morning News anchors Melanie Morgan and John McCaslin last week about the First Lady’s meddling in the AmeriCrooks scandal. Here’s what I said:

And as expected: No tough [...]

Well, well, well.
Michelle, Michelle, Michelle.
Guess where the First Lady will be on Monday?
Why, she’ll be delivering the keynote address at the 2009 National Conference on Volunteering and Service in San Francisco.
And who is co-sponsoring the conference?
Why, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS)!
Yes, that’s the same CNCS that is [...]

I blogged about Michelle Obama’s role in creating a patient-dumping scheme for the University of Chicago Medical Center back in March. With her husband and the Democrats unleashing health care horror story anecdotes to gin up public fear and build support for the beleaguered Obamacare plan, my syndicated column today revisits the kind of “reform” [...]

Slush fund.

Community service, Obama-style.

Culture of corruption.
