One gets the impression that Mr. Niankoro Yeah Samake, who is running for president of Mali, is sincere in his desire to build a government that is responsible and responsive to the people. His He’s the mayor of Ouelessebougou, an amalgamation of 44 villages, and has developed an efficient system to keep his central government accountable to each village.
See below, his campaign video, and read an op-ed that he submitted to the Washington Times. The antithesis of our own apologist in chief, Mr. Samake believes that democratic principles lead to the greatest possible prosperity. He’s stresses the elimination of corruption, locally controlled education, and decentralized power. Readers may also notice: Mr. Samake does not blink. 🙂

Obama’s Arrested Development Colors His Work Relationships with Women
Is this the communication from a presidential administration or from a middle school boy?
During the second presidential debate with Romney, Obama told us his solution to work place issues for women: Birth Control.
Romney’s answer was more substantive, telling of his efforts to recruit competent female advisors and staffers into his admininistration while governor of Massachusetts.
The snippy little Obama Tweet made an issue of Romney’s referral to the applicant data presented to him during the recruitment process.
Are women going to be impressed by Obama’s suggestion of birth control to make women a more secure place in the work world, or Romney’s practice of offering flex-time benefits to recruit the best female workers?
The Weekly Standard Blog reviews articles from the Washington Post and Time Magazine, reminding us that Obama’s own administration is a Boys Club. (No, they did not say Man’s Country).
Over and above bad feelings experienced by the women in the Obama administration, hard data reigns supreme. Obama signed a bill regarding women’s pay in the work place, but he’s never been able to provide parity in pay or representation for women, whether in his own senate staff, or his own white house administration.
Obama on Abortion: to the left of most abortionists
Obama as Illinois legislator, opposing that state’s Born Alive Infants Protection Act:
Obama in 2004 Senate campaign:
Obama in 2003, saying that he supports abortion, even late term ones.
Partial birth abortion film clip. Warning, this is gross gross gross!
Obama Campaign Touts e-cards: Can I Borrow $18,000 for Birth Control?
Apparently Team Obama thinks its Gurls are bulk users of birth control. Here’s an e-card that an obamagurl is supposed to send to the female parental unit or to whomever, to encourage them to vote for Obama.
This screen shot is for REAL, caught on 9/27 13:30 EDT from https://ecards.barackobama.com/wont-go-back?source=ecards-hub#
For an Obamagurl, it appears that “dessert” costs more than dinner. The entertainment budget is high. Perhaps as they grow, they need more hormones for birth control efficacy.
Perhaps the large appetites cause a need for huge quantities of prophylactic devices. Does an Obamagurl need her own factory?
It’s not Pharmer generating this idea of the prodigious appetites of the Obama-gurls. It’s the $18,000 tab mentioned on the Obama e-card as the tab for his female acolytes’ birth control bills!!
NEVERMIND!! Dems Put God And Jerusalem Language Back Into The Platform
DNC Almighty Nightmare In Charlotte: Now Dems Put God And Jerusalem Language Back Into The Platform. The Brody File.
Dems have changed their “minds” regarding their platform once again. After huge backlash they have reinstated a mention of God to the language, and recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Pharmer thinks they foresaw endless pain inflicted by the Republicans, as well as a severe loss of funding coming from the original decision and decided to recant.
Moscow’s martial arts fans boo Putin as he steps into the ring | World news | guardian.co.uk
Moscow’s martial arts fans boo Putin as he steps into the ring | World news | guardian.co.uk.
Judo enthusiast Vladimir Putin is a big fan of mixed martial arts, and of heavyweight fighter Fedor Emelianenko. It’s a sign of the times that Putin is not loved so much any more. He attended a fight at Moscow arena, and when he got up into the ring to congratulate victorious Emelianenko, Putin was ‘greeted with boos and catcalls’.
This doesn’t bode so well for his campaign for his third term of presidency, but given the nature of politics in Russia, will not affect the election result.
Breitbart: Listen to Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton Trolling for Funds
Congresscritters are being pressured to obtain campaign funds for their beleaguered fellows in vulnerable elections this fall. Such is the pressure coming down from Pelosi, that Eleanor Holmes Norton left the following (probably illegal) voicemail with a lobbyist and past contributor.
This is, uh, Eleanor Norton, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton. Uh, I noticed that you have given to uh, other colleagues on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. I am a, um, Senior Member, a twenty year veteran and am Chair of the Sub-committee on Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management. I’m handling the largest economic development project in the United States now, the Homeland Security Compound of three buildings being built on the uh, old St. Elizabeth’s hospital site in the District of Columbia along with uh, fifteen other, uh, sites here for, that are part of the stimulus .
I was, frankly, uh, uh, surprised to see that we don’t have a record, so far as I can tell, of your having given to me despite my uh, long and deep uh, work. In fact, it’s been my major work, uh, on the committee and sub-committee it’s been essentially in your sector.
I am, I’m simply candidly calling to ask for a contribution. As the senior member of the um, committee and a sub-committee chair, we have (chuckles) obligations to raise, uh funds. And, I think it must have been me who hasn’t, frankly, uh, done my homework to ask for a contribution earlier. So I’m trying to make up for it by asking for one now, when we particularly, uh, need, uh contributions, particularly those of us who have the seniority and chairmanships and are in a position to raise the funds.
I’m asking you to give to Citizens for Eleanor Holmes Norton, PO Box 70626, DC, 20024. I’ll send you a follow-up note with appreciation for having heard me out. Thanks again.
It’s illegal to imply or connect favors or penalties -coming from congress- to campaign donations, as has been done in this telephone message.
Thanks to Andrew Breitbart and the kind contributor of the recorded voice mail, which can be heard at Big Government.
