Obama Photobombs History

Obama helped Thomas Edison invent the fluorescent light bulb

***UPDATED — Please scroll down for new photobombs*** In a move of  sheer arrogance and audacity, President Obama has inserted himself into the biography pages of nearly every past president since Woodrow Wilson on the official White House website. Conservatives on Twitter responded with the sarcastic hashtag #ObamaInHistory, and the Republican National Committee created a new Tumblr, “Obama In History: World Changing Events You Didn’t Know Obama Played A Part In,” which depicts Obama Photoshopped into historic scenes. Here at Full Metal Patriot, we’ve taken our own spin on the subject: — h/t: @huds_d for the original tweet about Narcissus, @EthanMyers007 for the one about the Oregon Trail

Obama changes Presidential biographies, rides coattails

Winston Smith sends more history down the memory hole

In ancient Egypt, Pharaohs often attempted to aggrandize themselves by removing their predecessor’s names from the statues and monuments which had been erected in their honor. Erasing a foe’s name from the historic record was another common way of changing the past to control the present. In George Orwell’s dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, protagonist Winston Smith works in the Ministry of Truth, rewriting old newspaper articles so that the historical record is congruent with the current party propaganda. All traces of politically inconvenient documents and records were then dropped into “the memory hole.” I find it particularly ironic that a President with the re-election campaign theme “Forward” is engaging in the age-old totalitarian tactic of history revisionism. This week, it was discovered that the White...

Obama’s hypocritical attack ad portrays Romney as job-killing ‘vampire’

“Obama Vampire” Photoshop parody by Gibbwake

President Obama’s campaign has just launched a dishonest new ad called, “Steel,” which twists the truth in order to attack former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney’s record on job creation. The ad attempts to blame Mitt Romney for the 750 workers who lost their jobs at GS Technologies, a steel mill in Kansas City, Mo., that was bought by Romney’s private equity firm Bain Capital. The ad paints Romney as out of touch with the needs of the local workers and concerned only with Bain’s own profits. “We view Mitt Romney as a job destroyer,” says one former mill worker in the ad. Another calls Bain “a vampire. They came in and sucked the life out of us.” What the Obama campaign...

Obama flip-flops, endorses gay marriage

Obama-tongue-in-cheek

Desperate times call for desperate measures. And with the President polling behind or even with Romney, Obama’s handlers must have done some focus groups and decided that he should shore up his support in the gay community by announcing his endorsement of same-sex marriage. President Obama endorsed same-sex marriage on Wednesday, capping days of frenzied speculation about his views and intensifying pressure from gay campaign donors that began with a surprising endorsement of marriage over the weekend by Vice President Biden. The announcement marked an apparent end to Obama’s self-described “evolution” on the issue. “I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be...

Obama loses 41% of West Virginia primary — to Inmate #11593-051

Judd_Federal_Inmate_ 11593-051

Another “unprecedented achievement” for our current President:  41% of Democrats in West Virginia would rather vote for a federal prison inmate than re-elect Barack Obama. Inmate Keith Judd, 53, is serving 17 years for extortion at the Beaumont Federal Correctional Institution. He was sentenced in 1999 for making threats against the University of New Mexico and is due to be released on June 24 next year. With 93 per cent of precincts reporting, Obama was receiving just under 60 per cent of the vote to Judd’s 40 per cent. For some West Virginia Democrats, simply running against Obama is enough to get Judd – or Inmate Number...

EXPOSED: Rampant illegal immigrant tax fraud

This is another of many reasons why we should completely abolish the IRS: An investigative report from Indiana television station WTHR points out a “loophole” in IRS tax code which is costing U.S tax payers billions by enabling illegal immigrants to claim tax credits for children not even living in the U.S.  (h/t: The Western Center for Journalism) Each spring, at tax preparation offices all across the nation, many illegal immigrants are now eagerly filing tax returns to take advantage of a tax loophole, using their ITIN numbers to get huge refunds from the IRS. The loophole is called the Additional Child Tax Credit. It’s a fully-refundable credit of up to $1000 per child, and it’s meant to help working families who have...
