President Barack Obama’s adviser Van Jones has resigned amid controversy over past inflammatory statements, the White House said early Sunday.

You can almost feel the disappointment in the reporter’s tone.

In keeping with his past campaign tactics to shut critics up through brute force, the White House appears to be taking steps to crack down on critics of the trillion-dollar porkulus law.

Wonder if Obummer’ll try to shut down my porkulus parody website, Robbery.US.com.

Lookee what some economists and other people who know what they’re talking about have to say about the Obummer budget:

• “If they keep playing this game, they’re going to have real credibility problems,” predicted Brian Bethune, the chief U.S. financial economist at IHS Global Insight, an economic research firm.
• “The (Obama) unemployment number is crazy,” said Roberton Williams, senior fellow at the Urban Institute-Brookings Institution Tax Policy Center.
• “Even using their . . . economic assumptions — which now appear to be out of date and overly optimistic — the administration never puts us on a stable path,” said Marc Goldwein, the policy director of the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.

Scare Force One flies past the Statue of Liberty

Looks like the Obama staffer who is supposedly responsible for the Scare Force one debacle has been asked to fall on his sword:

The White House aide who authorized the controversial Air Force One photo-op flight last week around the Statue of Liberty is out of a job.

President Obama has accepted the resignation of Louis Caldera, the director of the White House Military Office, the Daily News learned Friday.

A secretary of the Army in the Clinton administration, Caldera took the fall for the public relations fiasco arising from the April 27 flyover, which was designed to replace a publicity photo of Air Force One flying past Mount Rushmore with a similar shot of Obama’s 747 jumbo jet over the Statue of Liberty.

Michelle Malkin notes:

Caldera’s disappearance under the Obama bus does not and should not end questions about the origin of the p.r. photo-op mission’s request, who participated, how it went down, and where protocol failed. And remember: Someone was planning a second flyover photo-op in Washington, D.C.

Great. A $327,000 publicity stunt that scared a nervous city almost cost double that.

Hawaii’s state Senate overwhelmingly approved a bill Wednesday to celebrate “Islam Day” _ over the objections of a few lawmakers who said they didn’t want to honor a religion connected to Sept. 11, 2001.

Oh yeah, and what day did they pick? September 24–13 days after September 11. Nice.

BTW, as Michelle Malkin noted, there’s no “Christianity Day” in Hawaii. Surprising, isn’t it?

Lovely. Oh, the best part of it as that at least some of these airports are already otherwise subsidized by–you guessed it–your money and mine.

In “honor” of this waste plus the $780-plus billion dollars of pork and other garbage Obama wants to waste, we created Robbery.US.com, a parody of Obummer’s Recovery.gov wastewebsite.

One of the worst things (I know, there are so many to choose from) Obummer’s done is to saddle our kids and grandkids with a massive debt, thanks to the massive Porkulus bill. For that reason, we created a pardoy of his Recovery.gov website called Robbery.US.com. Be sure to visit it and leave a comment on the feedback page!

No, this is not an actual picture of Arlen Specter

Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania finally made the switch to the Democrat party today. Naturally, according to Specter, the reason for his flip-flop is “I now find my political philosophy more in line with Democrats than Republicans.”

Well, no duh. The rest of us already knew that a long time ago.

But Gateway Pundit notes from a statement by Specter the REAL reason he’s making the switch:

…I am unwilling to have my twenty-nine year Senate record judged by the Pennsylvania Republican primary electorate.

I would’nt either, ya RINO.

Doug Powers filling in for Michelle Malkin notes that it was all for… a photo op.

Gateway Pundit has video.

Meanwhile, we have the following exclusive photo (well, okay, photoSHOP):

O Farce One buzzing the Statue of Liberty for a lousy photo op.
