Obama Organizers Intimidating Voters, Already?

By Javier Manjarres
January 23, 2012

With the 2012 presidential campaign already in full swing even before Republicans have a candidate,  I expected that the Democrat Party would be up to their ol’ thug-style antics in order to steal another election for President Obama. Just outside the doors of a Deerfield Beach, Florida courthouse, I noticed a nice little old lady-we will call her ‘Ma’ who was attempting to register people to vote as they were exiting the courthouse. So I decided to get a closer look at her little voter registration set-up, and just as I walked up, she asked one of the ‘courthouse patrons’, “You are going to vote for Obama?”

President Obama’s job-killing environmental extremism

By Brian H. Darling
01/23/2012

The job-creating Keystone XL pipeline isn’t going to happen, thanks to President Barack Obama. He intends to use a provision in the law extending the payroll tax cut for two months to block the building of the pipeline. His apparent disdain for free-market capitalism and private-sector job creation is discouraging, to say the least.

President Obama on Wednesday rejected the proposed Keystone XL oil sands pipeline, escalating an explosive election-year fight with congressional Republicans.

Obama blamed Republicans for forcing his hand, saying GOP provisions in December’s payroll tax cut extension deal that required a decision on the project by Feb. 21 left too little time for a project review by the State Department.

Now suppose that the government, backed by a nationally televised video of the event, had won a court case against the Klansmen except for the perfunctory filing of a single, simple document — but that an incoming Republican administration had moved to voluntarily dismiss the already-won case.

Taxing Times Are Here Again

By Neil Cavuto

By You know what startles me about talking taxes in Washington? So few are — at least there.

Not a single prominent Democrat rejected Senator Kent Conrad’s idea of a value-added tax — on top of an income tax, on top of an even higher top income tax, on top of an *even higher top income tax*, on top of *that* tax.

No one made a big deal of that. I guess because no one’s really surprised by that. After all, when you’re spending like crazy, it only makes sense you try to keep up, “taxing” like crazy. Even though I guess I’m crazy for reporting it.

Shelby, ranking Republican on the Banking Committee, argued that the financially beleaguered GM could have saved “lots of money” if it had chosen six months ago to file a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition. “What I worry about” is Washington’s large interest in the company, the senator said in a nationally broadcast network interview. “It’s basically going to be a government-owned, government-run company … a company that has been sadly run into the ground.” (Read “Government Motors: Can a Reinvention Save GM?”)

New ID rules begin June 1

BLAINE, Wash. – New rules requiring passports or new high-tech documents to cross the United States’ northern and southern borders are taking effect Monday, as some rue the tightening of security and others hail it as long overdue.

The rules are being implemented nearly eight years after the Sept. 11 attacks and long after the 9/11 Commission recommended the changes. They were delayed by complaints from state officials who worried the restrictions would hinder the flow of people and commerce and affect border towns dependent on international crossings.

Obama’s plan to save GM, $30 billion

By Bob L

Obama’s speech that shafts many

Obama made a good speech about how this bankruptcy is a good thing for America, but has any one thought about the loss of credit that is being lost due to loss of foreclosures and jobs. American people just can’t go out and print money when they need it like the government does, if we did we would go to prison, they keep telling us we are spending money we don’t have.

He also said that they were going to buy their cars, now what is that going to do for FORD who did not take any money, some one said that now that the Government would buy cars for their fleet cheaper then ford could bid on, and now that is what is happening, so now that Obama want’s to punish ford, boycott G M, and CHRYSLER, and tell Obama that he has to buy from all three, or none at all.

Where does he think that people today can afford the price of today’s cars now or later.

All I can see is that banks and finance companies are going to profit due to credit reports from the economy of today, and the peoples loss.

All I can see is the same thing that they are all lies,he has not been truthful to the American from day one,for he has flip flopped and can not tell the truth if his life depended on it. He is fallowing in the same steps as Bush, and only helping the rich and him self and family.

Key health care senators have industry ties

By LARRY MARGASAK and SHARON THEIMER, Associated Press Writers

WASHINGTON – Influential senators working to overhaul the nation’s health care system have investments and family ties with some of the biggest names in the industry. The wife of Sen. Chris Dodd, the lawmaker in charge of writing the Senate’s bill, sits on the boards of four health care companies.

Members of both parties have industry connections, including Democrats Jay Rockefeller and Tom Harkin, in addition to Dodd, and Republicans Tom Coburn, Judd Gregg, John Kyl and Orrin Hatch, financial reports showed Friday. .

Jackie Clegg Dodd, wife of the Connecticut Democrat, is on the boards of Javelin Pharmaceuticals Inc., Cardiome Pharma Corp., Brookdale Senior Living and Pear Tree Pharmaceuticals.

Dodd is filling in for ailing Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, which will soon start work on a health care bill.

Other publicly available documents show Mrs. Dodd last year was one of the most highly compensated non-employee members of the Javelin Pharmaceuticals Inc. board, on which she has served since 2004. She earned $32,000 in fees and $109,587 in stock option awards last year, according to the company’s SEC filings.

Health Care Overhaul, Calls System ‘Ticking Bomb

President Obama tells the American Medical Association in Chicago that the existing system leaves too many Americans uninsured and forces “excessive defensive medicine” by doctors worried about malpractice lawsuits.

CHICAGO — President Barack Obama pushed hard Monday for a health care overhaul, saying the system is “a ticking bomb” for the budget that could force America to “go the way of GM” without a legislative fix.

Obama went before the American Medical Association in Chicago to declare anew that the existing system leaves too many uninsured and forces “excessive defensive medicine” by doctors worried about malpractice suits. He also declared once again that he does not favor socialized medicine and cautioned people to beware of “scare tactics and fear-mongering” by critics who make this claim.

Obama did tell his audience of physicians and health care professionals that he’s “open” to requiring all Americans to have health insurance, while stressing that the plan would permit continuing assistance for those who cannot afford it on their own.

Fire Ants Almost Kill 13-Year-Old Boy

CENTRAL, La. —  Fire ants are the scourge of the Louisiana lawn, but their venomous stings can be as dangerous as those from bees, ants or wasps. Patrick Dodson, 13, and his mother, Donna Dodson, learned that one Sunday afternoon in March while doing yard work at their Central home.

Patrick Dodson fetched a bag of mulch made from a tree blown down by Hurricane Gustav in September. It tore open as he headed to the flower beds, and his leg was covered in hundreds of ants.

“Once I noticed them, I kind of freaked out, and that’s when they started biting me,” he said. “It didn’t really hurt until 10 minutes afterward.”

Most people call them bites, and fire ants often do anchor themselves with a bite — but it’s the sting that hurts. And, unlike bees or wasps, each ant can sting many times.

Patrick’s mother washed the ants off his leg, applied an antihistamine cream and sent her mother, Alice Reine, to the store for a liquid antihistamine.

15 D.C. power couples

POLITICO:  Kenneth P. Vogel

There’s only one first couple, but Barack and Michelle Obama are hardly the only powerful pair in Washington.

The new administration is staffed by an especially large contingent of power couples.

Here are 15 of them:

Shere Abbott and James Steinberg

These connected Beltway insiders ironically spent most of former President George W. Bush’s second term in his home state of Texas, where Steinberg was dean of the public affairs school at the University of Texas and Abbott directed the university’s sustainability program.

But Steinberg, 56, who was a national security adviser in the Clinton administration, kept in the game, advising the Obama campaign and transition on foreign policy issues. In December, he was nominated to be the No. 2 official at the State Department.

Abbott, 53, was tapped in March to handle environmental and energy policy in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.

They married in 1994 and have two young daughters they adopted from China.

Ohioans ticketed for parking in own driveways

Here is corruption from the word go, when a person gets a ticket for parking in his own driveway, just because it is  an unpaved surface, this is how dumb these people are educated today, see this is why we are having a water problem, there is to much concrete and asphalt so water can’t soak in to the ground, this is why the water table is disappearing.

=====================================================

TOLEDO, Ohio – Residents of Toledo, Ohio, are complaining that they received $25 tickets for parking their vehicles in their own driveways.

Mayor Carty Finkbeiner (FINK’-by-ner) says he stands by the citations handed out last week by the Division of Streets, Bridges and Harbor. He says the tickets were issued under a city law against parking on unpaved surfaces, including gravel driveways.

During a news conference Monday, Finkbeiner ignored a reporter’s question of whether the crackdown and fines were related to the city’s budget crisis.

The three-term mayor faces a recall vote in November. Critics have claimed he’s wasted city money.

City Councilman D. Michael Collins calls the ticketing “Mickey Mouse nonsense.” He has told residents he’ll try to have the citations rescinded.

Health care for all will take years

WASHINGTON – HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius says covering the uninsured will take several years, even if Congress passes a bill and President Barack Obama signs it into law this fall.

Sebelius said in a question-and-answer session with The Associated Press Tuesday that “it won’t start the day after the bill passes.”

Nearly 50 million Americans are uninsured, and early cost estimates of congressional coverage plans have been disappointing. The $1 trillion over 10 years that the Obama administration wants to spend may not be enough.

Sebelius said the first step would be to cover people who are eligible for existing government programs. She said after that, it could take until 2011 or 2012 to set up insurance purchasing pools and start covering the rest.

Under the plan, Obama would transfer some banking authority that now rests with the Fed and Treasury Department to a new Consumer Financial Protection Agency.

WASHINGTON — Setting up a certain fight with big business, President Obama is proposing a new regulatory agency to police lenders and protect consumers in credit, savings and other banking transactions .

The consumer agency and a newly empowered Federal Reserve will be two of the central elements of a broad overhaul of the financial regulatory system that the president will announce on Wednesday, officials said.

Already the nation’s central bank, the Federal Reserve would supervise large financial institutions that are considered so big that their failure could undermine America’s economy, according to the administration proposal.

It got two short mentions in The L.A. Times and Boston Globe. And one small mention in each of the St. Louis Post Dispatch, Chicago Tribune, Orlando Sentinel, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and Grand Rapid Press.

That’s it.

Here’s the one thing no one seems to understand: President Obama is still a community organizer, it’s just on a much bigger scale with much higher stakes.

Obama Under Fire Again From Members of His Own Party

By Bret Baier  

Now some fresh pickings from the Political Grapevine:

Out of Sight, Out of Mind

Some Congressional Democrats representing rural America are feeling left out when it comes to the President Obama’s ambitious agenda. The Politico newspaper reports from greenhouse gases and climate legislation, to the closing of hundreds of car dealerships, many within his party aren’t exactly feeling the love from the White House.

California Congressman Dennis Cardoza says, “They don’t get rural America. They form their views of the world in large cities.”

Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu adds: “I wouldn’t say it’s a complete strikeout, but they’ve just got a few more bases to it when it comes to the rural community.”

And Arkansas Senator Blanche Lincoln complains the president has not paid much attention to rural states since his campaign ended, saying: “We’d love to see him out in rural America more.”

Deep Cuts

The president’s proposal to pay for health care reform in part by cutting government Medicare and Medicaid spending by more than $600 billion over the next decade, has been welcomed by many Democrats.

It’s being called Medicare and Medicaid savings. But, when the Bush administration proposed similar cuts, many Democrats railed against the plan.

SEAN HANNITY, HOST: Now tonight we bring you a special first segment of the show in lieu of our usual “Hannity Headline.”

In 1765 parliament passed the Stamp Pact provoking outrage among the American colonists. Now the leaders of the tax uprising were the Sons of Liberty who met in August of 1765 under an old elm tree in Boston to air their grievances against the tyrannical King George.

The Sons of Liberty will become an early voice for the rights of an oppressed citizenry and included some familiar names from the annals of American history including Paul Revere, Patrick Henry, John Hancock and John Adams.

At the end of that first protest in 1765 the Sons of Liberty hung two tax collectors in effigy from the branches of elm and from that day forward it became known as the Liberty Tree.

Chemicals in Marijuana Smoke May Harm DNA

HealthDay

FRIDAY, June 19 (HealthDay News) — The smoke from cannabis, the plant from which marijuana is derived, contains compounds that can damage DNA and increase the risk of cancer just like tobacco smoke, says a new study from the United Kingdom.

In laboratory tests, Rajinder Singh from the University of Leicester and colleagues found certain carcinogens in cannabis smoke in amounts 50 percent greater than those found in tobacco smoke. They noted that light cannabis use could possibly prove to be even more damaging because cannabis smokers usually inhale more deeply than cigarette smokers.

“The smoking of three to four cannabis cigarettes a day is associated with the same degree of damage to bronchial mucus membranes as 20 or more tobacco cigarettes a day,” the researchers noted in a news release from the university.

The research was based on tests using a new highly sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method to analyze the cannabis smoke. It looked specifically at acetaldehyde — a suspected cancer-causing chemical known to affect human DNA that is found in both kinds of smoke.

“These results provide evidence for the DNA-damaging potential of cannabis smoke, implying that the consumption of cannabis cigarettes may be detrimental to human health with the possibility to initiate cancer development,” the researchers concluded in their report, published in the June 15 issue of Chemical Research in Toxicology.

The fate of three of nine foreigners abducted in Yemen last week is known — their bodies were found, shot execution style. The whereabouts of the other six — including three children under the age of 6 — remain a mystery.

But terrorism experts say their abductors and killers are almost certainly not a mystery. They say the crimes bear the mark of Al Qaeda, and they fear they are the handiwork of the international terror organization’s No. 2 man in the Arabian Peninsula: Said Ali al-Shihri, an Islamic extremist who once was in American custody — but who was released from the U.S. detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

House Democrats Unveil Own Health-Reform Proposal

Now they have a plan 852 pages and do they know what is in it, bet they have not even picked it up, let alone know really what is in it.

=====================================================Friday, June 19, 2009  Fox Business:  Joanna Ossinger and Peter Barnes

Democrats in the House of Representatives released an initial draft of their own health-care reform bill on Friday, saying that their proposal would lower costs, broaden choice, provide stability and boost quality in the system.

The 852-page bill contained many specifics, but left large areas of policy, taxes and spending still unspecified. A final budget tally wasn’t given, since it hadn’t been “scored” by the Congressional Budget Office.

Key points of the bill included a health-insurance exchange, which would be a place where individuals could comparison-shop for coverage; a public health-insurance option; and guaranteed coverage.

Three banks were closed on Friday — one in Georgia, one in North Carolina and one in Kansas — bringing the total to 40 bank failures in the U.S. so far in 2009.

Southern Community Bank of Fayetteville, Ga., was closed down, and all its deposits will be assumed by United Community Bank of Blairsville, Ga. All five offices of SCB will become branches of UCB, and depositors of SCB will automatically become depositors at UCB.

As of May 29, SCB had total assets of $377 million and total deposits of $307 million.

United Community Bank paid a premium of 1% to acquire all of the deposits of the failed bank, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama cited his own long struggle to quit the cigarettes he got hooked on as a teenager as he signed the nation’s strongest-ever anti-smoking bill Monday and praised it for providing critically needed protections for kids.

Chemicals in Marijuana Smoke May Harm DNA

This should be brought up again now that they are making it harder for kids today, they want them to stop smoking so what do you think they will do now, gee I don’t have any idea, or could it be they will get more involved in alcohol and drugs.

It seams that our Government just loves to take every thing away from the kids and then wonder why they are getting into trouble. Well lets see, they took away their summer jobs, they closed down all monitored places that kids could go, so what do you think kids will do.

FRIDAY, June 19 (HealthDay News) — The smoke from cannabis, the plant from which marijuana is derived, contains compounds that can damage DNA and increase the risk of cancer just like tobacco smoke, says a new study from the United Kingdom.

Pets Pass Superbug to Humans

Posted: 21 June 2009:  By LiveScience Staff

Transmission of an infectious superbug from dogs and cats to humans, and back again, is an increasing problem, a new study finds.

The superbug, a strain of bacteria known as MRSA, has evolved a resistance to antibiotics. It has long plagued hospitals but in recent years has become more common in homes. MRSA has even invaded beaches.

Only about two years ago, scientists began to seriously suspect pets were transmitting the bacteria.

In the July edition of The Lancet Infectious Diseases, Richard Oehler of the University of South Florida College of Medicine and colleagues lay out the latest thinking on MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and pets.

The infections can be transmitted by animal bites and most threaten young children, the researchers note.

Do you agree???

By Bob L  What I have seen this happening for 58 years, I am now 65.

When you were growing up, do you remember when you could go out in the summer and get a job, working in a gas station, pick berries, or lets say, work on farms and in the fields, be a box person in a grocery store to earn money for school, and have spending money.

Can you remember why kids can no longer get a summer job, and now only illegals can have those jobs, because they can’t get the blacks any more as slaves so the illegals are now the slaves, or the kids and the family to make some extra money, or get vegetables and berries for canning. Today how many know how to can products for the winter, or fix a meal from scratch.

Well it was a special interest group that did not think it was safe for kids to work in the fields, (so the greedy Government stepped in) but yet it was alright if they were 16 and HAD a WORK PERMIT, (money, not getting taxes, gee Government greed again) then it was safe. Just because they did not pay income, they did pay sales tax, but the problem was they did not get a double tax, that is the problem today, TO MANY TAXES ON TAXES, to PAY TAXES.

ABC infomercial is a diversion!

It’s the way the Obama administration works — forget about how you get it done, just get it done. Since support is fading for Cap & Trade, as it’s essentially one of the biggest tax increases in history, the administration and the media are making a big deal (and rightfully so) out of the ABC infomercial happening 6/24. While you are enraged about that, Cap n Trade slips in through the back door, unnoticed and unharmed. Watch for Glenn to shine the spotlight on this issue for the rest of the week on radio and at 5pm on the Fox News Channel.

Common Sense Congressman

Freshman Congressman Jason Chaffetz from Utah is one of the few common sense people in the halls of Congress right now. One of the bills he’s proposing would save taxpayers millions, and it’s a great idea. Instead of hiring thousands of people to conduct the census, why not use another program that already has employees visiting houses each and every day — the United States Postal Service. A common sense idea that makes so much sense it will certainly be shot down by Congress. Listen to Glenn’s conversation with the Congressman. ( Transcript ).

David vs. Goliath of Governmental

David vs. Goliath of Governmental

by  Chuck Norris 06/23/2009

One of the most hideous ways the Internal Revenue Service usurps power and control over Americans is through its oppression over nonprofits, especially religious groups. Threatening to withdraw tax-exempt status and to levy penalties are just a couple of ways it exercises its tyranny.

For example, April 3, Catholic Answers, one of the nation’s largest lay-run apologetic (or defense) ministries for the Catholic movement, filed suit in federal court against the IRS for violating its right to free speech.What spurred on the lawsuit is that the IRS imposed fines on Catholic Answers because Catholic Answers’ president, Karl Keating, wrote in one of his “E-letters” that 2004 presidential candidate John Kerry shouldn’t be allowed to receive the Holy Eucharist (Holy Communion) because of his pro-abortion stance, advocacy and voting record. Whether you agree or not, Keating was voicing his conviction and opinion, which he has a First Amendment right to do. At no point did Catholic Answers even tell people for whom to vote or not to vote.  More to Read

Catastrophe

By Human Events

Every patriotic American needs to stand up now and take America back from President Obama, say Dick Morris and Eileen McGann — before he fully implements his frighteningly radical political agenda. That socialist agenda, they reveal, threatens our liberty, endangers our livelihood, and jeopardizes our very safety and security. They explain why in Catastrophe: How Obama, Congress, and the Special Interests are Transforming… A Downturn into a Crash, a Recession into a Depression, and a Disaster into a CATASTROPHE…And How to Stop Them.

Dick Morris has seen politics and Presidents up close for decades: he was Bill Clinton’s political consultant for twenty years, and is now a regular political commentator on Fox News and author of six New York Times bestsellers. In his latest blockbuster, Morris and his longtime collaborator Eileen McGann reveal the ugly hard-Left goals of the Obama administration and its henchmen in Congress and special interest groups. They fearlessly take on a barrage of hot-button pocketbook issues — from oil prices, real estate, and the faltering state of the economy to the ongoing corruption in Washington.

Handful of Democrats hold key to climate bill

Boy if you believe what Obama and the the people who are going to gain on this, you are dumber then the ones that are telling you that it will only cost you a few penance, if pasted this will be the biggest scam pulled on the American people, because they follow and believe smooth talkers.

You don’t want to believe what people who are watching this every day, and I think that is because the American people don’t want any one to know just how dumb they really are.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is taking heat from some gays and lesbians for not fulfilling campaign pledges. He’s also taking their cash.

Gay rights activists have complained that Obama has not followed through on his promises to repeal a law banning their open service in the military, to do away with a federal marriage law or to champion their causes from the White House. During his first five months, he’s taken incremental steps that have little real effect and left some people feeling betrayed.

The House of Representatives on Friday voted by a narrow 219 to 212 to approve a hotly contested energy bill intended to cap US greenhouse gas emissions.

The legislation still has a long road to travel before it becomes law. But the House vote was a crucial victory for President Obama on one of his legislative priorities, and may give the White House political momentum as it pushes

Washington

The House of Representatives on Friday began debate on a controversial measure to cap US greenhouse-gas emissions. If passed, the bill would represent the most profound government intervention in America’s energy use since Washington began regulating the fuel economy of vehicles in 1975.

The measure is one of President Obama’s top legislative priorities.

Obama’s teleprompter breaks in mid-speech

Mon Jul 13

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama had just started a spirited defense of his economic stimulus plan on Monday when one of his teleprompter screens came loose, crashed to the floor and shattered into pieces.

The gadget’s fall surprised Obama, who uses a teleprompter during most speeches and even brief remarks. The glass plate displaying his speech hit the floor in the auditorium of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, a massive building within the White House compound.

“Oh, goodness,” Obama said. “Sorry about that, guys.”

The audience — administration officials, mayors and urban policy experts — laughed as Obama went back to his text. To finish his 11-minute remarks calling for a new policy toward the nation’s cities and metropolitan areas, he used notes and the remaining teleprompter screen.

As the White House sought to balance campaign rhetoric with governing, officials appeared willing to extend unemployment benefits. With former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan …

Public passions are rising on health care overhaul

By KIMBERLY HEFLING, Associated Press Writer 8/3/09

WASHINGTON – Booed, jeered and occasionally cheered in a raucous session with the public, a Democratic senator said Monday that other lawmakers can expect the same as they face voters on the divisive issue of overhauling health care.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the harbinger of things to come,” Sen. Arlen Specter said a day after facing the rowdy crowd in Philadelphia.

Analysis: Obama struggling to keep no-tax pledge

Here is all that Obama is thinking about – [ The fallout reminded White House political aides that breaking the president's promise not to raise the middle class tax burden would be blow to his re-election chances in 2012 and would prove noxious to his party in the 2010 midterm elections.] And look who is actually doing the work, all the cronies he put in to answer to him only. [ But keeping that option off the table — and out of the August congressional town hall debates over health care — won’t be easy unless Obama himself signals to lawmakers in the House and Senate which of the various financing plans he’s willing …

Virtual town halls gaining popularity

POLITICO :  8/6/09: By DANIEL LIBIT

With the summer recess turning into a cross between election-year frenzy and an Ultimate Fighting Championship, the traditional town hall is looking less desirable by the day. The recent antics of “tea party” activists and “birthers” have provided incentives for members of Congress on both sides to seek a less vulnerable alternative to face-to-face communication. And there’s a good one: technology.

A soon-to-be-released study of online town halls might persuade the most old-fashioned member to ditch the local armory for a “meeting” with constituents via the phone or computer. The study, slated to be published next month, shows a surprisingly large benefit to virtual …

Drug industry helping Obama overhaul health care

: By DAVID ESPO, AP Special Correspondent

WASHINGTON – The nation’s drugmakers stand ready to spend $150 million to help President Barack Obama overhaul health care this fall, according to numerous officials, a staggering sum that could dwarf attempts to derail Obama’s top domestic priority.

The White House and allies in Congress are well aware of the effort by Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, a somewhat surprising political alliance, given the drug industry’s recent history of siding with Republicans and the Democrats’ disdain for special interests.

The campaign, now in its early stages, includes …

Jewish Groups Denounce Use of Nazi Images in Health Reform Debate

U.S. banks to make $38 billion from overdraft fees: report

U.S. Bought Millions in Stolen Oil From Mexico

Tuesday, August 11, 2009

MEXICO CITY —  U.S. refineries bought millions of dollars worth of oil stolen from Mexican government pipelines and smuggled across the border, the U.S. Justice Department told The Associated Press — illegal operations now led by Mexican drug cartels expanding their reach.

Criminals — mostly drug gangs — tap remote pipelines, sometimes building pipelines of their own, to siphon off hundreds of millions of dollars worth of oil each year, the Mexican oil monopoly said. At least one U.S. oil executive has pleaded guilty to conspiracy in such a deal.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Homeland Security department is scheduled to return $2.4 million to Mexico’s tax administration, ..

Ezekiel Emanuel, Obama’s ‘Deadly Doctor,’ Strikes Back

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the medical ethicist and oncologist who advises President Obama, does not own a television, and if you catch him in a typically energized moment, when his mind speeds even faster than his mouth, he is likely to blurt out something like, “I hate the Internet.” So it took him several days in late July to discover he had been singled out by opponents of health-care reform as a “deadly doctor,” who, according to an opinion column in the New York Post, wanted to limit medical care for “a grandmother with Parkinson’s or a child with cerebral palsy

Nancy Pelosi’s plan: Wine, dine big donors

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi moves in a rarefied world of high society and high-level politics — and nothing underscores that fact quite like her plans for the August recess.

Pelosi will spend next weekend quietly tending to top party donors and political allies at a series of private events in Northern California.

The two-day “issues conference” starts next Friday night with a dinner for roughly 170 guests on the back lawn of Pelosi’s multimillion-dollar home in the fashionable Pacific Heights neighborhood in San Francisco.

The following day, Pelosi will shepherd her guests to a Napa Valley winery with buildings designed by world-famous architect Frank Gehry; the speaker and her husband, investor Paul Pelosi, own a nearby vineyard worth between $5 million and $25 million, according to her annual financial disclosure report.

Dirty Secret No. 1 in Obamacare

08/11/2009

Health care reforms are turning into health care revolts. Americans are turning up the heat on congressmen in town hall meetings across the U.S.

While watching these political hot August nights, I decided to research the reasons so many are opposed to Obamacare to separate the facts from the fantasy. What I discovered is that there are indeed dirty little secrets buried deep within the 1,000-plus page health care bill.

Dirty secret No. 1 in Obamacare is about the government’s coming into homes and usurping parental rights over child care and development.

It’s outlined in sections 440 and 1904 of the House bill (Page 838), …

It took 30 years and the publication of the book “Stolen Valor” to establish that the bulk of them were utter frauds who had never seen combat — some had never seen Vietnam.

GOP backs away from end-of-life counseling

By BEN EVANS, Associated Press Writer – Fri Aug 14

WASHINGTON – Until last week, Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson was among the most enthusiastic backers of end-of-life counseling in government health care programs like Medicare.

That was before conservatives called it a step toward euthanasia and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin likened the idea to a bureaucratic “death panel” that would decide whether sick people get to live. And even though those claims have been widely discredited, the issue remains a political weapon in the increasingly bitter health care debate.

Now, Isakson and other Republicans who eagerly backed the idea are distancing themselves from it or lying low in the face of a backlash from the right.

No ‘death panel’ in health care bill

By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR, Associated Press Writer – Tue Aug 11

WASHINGTON – Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin says the health care overhaul bill would set up a “death panel.” Federal bureaucrats would play God, ruling on whether ailing seniors are worth enough to society to deserve life-sustaining medical care. Palin and other critics are wrong.

Nothing in the legislation would carry out such a bleak vision. The provision that has caused the uproar would instead authorize Medicare to pay doctors for counseling patients about end-of-life care, if the patient wishes. Here are some questions and answers on the controversy:

Q: Does the health care legislation bill promote “mercy killing,” or euthanasia?

A: No.

Q: Then what’s all the fuss about?

It’s pure myth: There’s no ‘death panel’ in health care legislation

Why don’t they just be up front and honest with the American people instead of doing every thing behind closed doors, or is it that if they were up front it would show that they did not know what they were doing, so they lie thinking that Americans are stupid, and don’t know any better.

By Trish Choate :  Friday, August 14

WASHINGTON — The “death panel” rumor about health care reform lives stubbornly on in spite of debunking from sources ranging from AARP to a Republican senator who pushed for Medicare coverage of end-of-life counseling.

Lawmakers are still fielding questions from constituents deeply concerned that House proposals would set up death panels to decide if the disabled or elderly are worthy of health care — or if they should be shuttled off for euthanasia.

Indeed, the banks who received our tax dollars should have been wiser with our cash.  Thirty-three billion smackers is a lot of bonus money.  According to the July 31st Wall Street Journal, 5,000 bank employees were paid at least one million green backs in bonuses.

It is a much better vehicle than my pick up truck. Really, you ought to look at at least a couple of these videos, and the hundreds more like them on YouTube. Are these “clunkers?” Can it really help the economy to destroy perfectly good assets? Are the people running the government the most economically illiterate bunch since FDR ruled the roost? Or are they dumber? Please click here for the rest of the post.

3. Barack Obama’s Worst Nightmare

It was not until after 1994 that Bill Clinton really stretched his legs. As much as Clinton had “gays in the military” and “Hillarycare” in the months before the Republican take over of Congress, he’s really known for what? Well, if we’re serious about his legacy — Kosovo, Welfare Reform, Standing Up to Newt, and Impeachment. Clinton shines as a model of what a Democratic Presidency can be when fighting against Republicans at home and in multinational coalitions abroad. Impeachment has a mixed meaning for him, but among Democrats and Independents, they typically see it as out of control Republicans and a philandering President with the President coming out looking better than the GOP. Republicans controlling Congress gave Bill Clinton a political opposition from which he could set himself a part. Clinton could be contrasted with the GOP. He could not, pre-1994, viably do that because his party controlled the White House and Congress. What is Barack Obama’s worst nightmare? Democrats keeping Congress in 2010.

One of the most egregious abuses of your hard-earned money has been federal funding for ACORN. This non-profit organization is no stranger to controversy.

This is what we are up against until next year until we can get rid of every one of these people who are going against the CONSTITUTION of the UNITED STATES, I think every one of them should be prosecuted for crimes against the US and fail yer to enforce US LAWS.

On Sept. 28, 1781, Gen. George Washington led a combined force of 17,000 French and Continental troops upon Yorktown, Va., and encircled British Gen. Charles Cornwallis and his regiment of 9,000 British troops. Washington bombarded Cornwallis and crew day and night for three weeks with artillery and cannon fire, until Cornwallis surrendered Oct. 17, 1781. Negotiations for peace began in 1782, and the Treaty of Paris eventually was signed Sept. 3, 1783, formally ending the seven years of war and securing America’s independence.

Obamacare ‘Wrap-up’ Guts Repub Amendments

By Connie Hair

10/06/2009

Nearing the finish line of the health care marathon in the Senate Finance Committee during the wee hours on Friday morning , Sen. John Rockefeller (D-W.V.) sponsored the “wrap-up amendment” that stealthily gutted important Republican amendments to the “conceptual draft” of a bill that were agreed to or voted through in committee.  This wrap-up amendment passed 13-10 on a straight party line vote, allowing Democrats to vote favorably on some high-profile issues, only to pull them back substantially under the cover of darkness in the wrap-up.Sen. Chuck Grassley, ranking Republican on the Finance Committee voiced strong concerns over this last-minute maneuvering to eviscerate protections for seniors, veterans and the shrinking number of folks who still have a job in the days of Obamanomics.

“These changes need to see the light of day,” Grassley said.  “Americans considering what this health care proposal means for them deserve to know that Medicare prescription drug premiums would probably go up, veterans’ access to health care would be diminished, and workers’ wages could be garnished in the midst of growing unemployment and a prolonged recession, in order to pay for other spending in the health reform bill.  The issues behind seniors being subjected to higher premiums in Medicare Part D also emphasize the reason why it’s important for senators to have actual cost estimates from the Congressional Budget Office before being asked to vote on major policy changes.”

The wrap-up amendment expands powers granted to a brand new Medicare Commission endowing these bureaucrats with the ability to raise premiums on Medicare prescription drug coverage at will.  Democrats had worked out a deal with hospitals in secret negotiations over the summer to exempt them from the extensive plans for cuts in Medicare rates.  This “carve out” would exempt hospitals from these reductions but the CBO estimated the provision would add $11 billion to the overall cost of the bill.  No problem for Dems, just rack up another $11 billion in stealth cuts to Medicare for an offset.

Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.) offered an amendment that was agreed to in the committee markup without objection to shield veterans from increases in the cost of their medical care and reductions in access to treatment.  In the wrap-up amendment, Democrats voted to gut the veteran protections, without the customary consultation to the amendment’s author, reducing the amendment to mere instructions to the Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs to conduct a study of the cost of veteran health care specifically including the cost of their medical devices and brand name medications.  More cost cutting measures at our veterans’ expense.

Sen. Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.) sponsored an amendment to safeguard the work force from reductions in wages as a result of the bill’s staggering increase in taxes, fees and assessments on employers.  The committee voted unanimously to adopt Enzi’s amendment protecting employees and, again, the wrap-up amendment transformed the wording into a requirement for the Secretary of Labor to perform an inconsequential study on the issue.  It matters not what working families can afford.  Democrats need to pay for their socialist power grab.

The gutless Democrats in the Senate supported Medicare and veterans and wage protections in the very public amendment vote tallies, then stripped those very same protections in stealth.  The depth and breadth of the fraud and deception being perpetrated on the American people by this government takeover of health care is simply breathtaking.

Dems in Denial

To further their massive health care deception, House Democrats repeatedly claim in speech after speech after media appearance that Republicans have offered no solutions for the nation’s health care ills.  In speeches from the House floor all last week, Democrats pointedly and repetitively inquired about Republican solutions asking, “Where’s the bill?”

In response, Republican Study Committee Chairman Tom Price, M.D. (R-Ga.) yesterday sent a “Dear Colleague” letter in email directly to all House Democrat Caucus members of Congress with an attachment directory linking all 40 pieces of heath care legislation introduced by Republicans in the House this year, including full, alternative, free market health care bills.

Dear Colleague,

In light of public assertions that House Republicans have offered no solutions for health care reform, please see this updated directory of more than 40 health care bills introduced by Republican Study Committee members this year.  Thanks for your consideration.

Yours Truly,

s/ Rep. Tom Price, M.D.
Chairman, Republican Study Committee

Short, sweet and to the point.  Now, when Democrats say Republicans have offered no health care solutions of their own, let there be no doubt they have all been given the information directly covering every piece of Republican health care legislation introduced this year in the 111th Congress.

Price also scored a meeting this week with Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius .  The RSC will meet Sebelius Wednesday evening to discuss Obamacare.  Members of the RSC, and the organization as a whole, have been very vocal in opposition to Democrats’ proposed government takeover of health care.  And, despite very public offers by the President to meet with members and go over the massive House legislation “line by line,” the White House has ignored all overtures by Republican members to accept the President’s repeated offer.

Price received a call from the White House offering Sebelius as a stand-in to try to defend Obamacare.  Should be one raucous meeting.

One benefit of the recession is that inflation is nowhere to be seen, as consumer prices have barely grown in months. Rising unemployment, stagnant wages and tight credit have restrained consumer demand, making it difficult for retailers to raise prices.

Unless President Obama is quickly brought to understand the need to defeat the Taliban decisively, he will make a decision on strategy and troop reinforcements that will be catastrophic to our national security.

WASHINGTON – Top Senate Democrats intend to try to strip the health insurance industry of its exemption from federal antitrust laws as part of the debate over health care, according to congressional officials, the latest evidence of a deepening struggle over President Barack Obama’s top domestic priority.

If enacted, the switch would mean greater federal regulation for an industry that recently has stepped up its criticism of portions of a health care bill moving toward the Senate floor.

Bank failures top 100, only part of industry woes

By Bob L : NEWS AS I SEE IT!

An does any one have any dought that this country is stable, and it is a long way from it.

_____________________________________________________________

By DANIEL WAGNER, AP Business Writer

WASHINGTON – The cascade of bank failures this year surpassed 100 on Friday, the most in nearly two decades. And the trouble in the banking system from bad loans and the recession goes even deeper than the number suggests.

Dozens, perhaps hundreds, of other banks remain open even though they are as weak as many that have been shuttered. Regulators are seizing banks slowly and selectively — partly to avoid inciting panic and partly because buyers for bad banks are hard to find.

Going slow buys time. An economic recovery could save some banks that would otherwise go under. But if the recovery is slow and smaller banks’ finances get even worse, it could wind up costing even more.

The bank failures, 106 in all, are the most in any year since 181 collapsed in 1992, at the end of the savings-and-loan crisis. On Friday, regulators took over three small Florida banks — Partners Bank and Hillcrest Bank Florida, both of Naples, and Flagship National Bank in Bradenton — along with American United Bank of Lawrenceville, Ga., Bank of Elmwood in Racine, Wis., Riverview Community Bank in Otsego, Minn., and First Dupage Bank in Westmont, Ill.

When a bank fails, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. swoops in, usually on a Friday afternoon. It tries to sell off the bank’s assets to buyers and cover its liabilities, primarily customer deposits. It taps the insurance fund to cover the rest.

Bank failures have cost the FDIC’s fund that insures deposits an estimated $25 billion this year and are expected to cost $100 billion through 2013. To replenish the fund, the agency wants banks to pay in advance $45 billion in premiums that would have been due over the next three years.

The FDIC won’t say how deep a hole its deposit insurance fund is in. It can tap a credit line from the Treasury of up to a half-trillion dollars to cover the gap.

The list of banks in trouble is getting longer. At the end of June, the FDIC had flagged 416 as being at risk of failure, up from 305 at the end of March and 252 at the beginning of the year.

Yet the pace of actual bank failures appears to be slowing. The FDIC seized 24 banks in July, 11 in September and 11 in October.

If any bank poses an immediate danger to customers or the broader financial system, regulators close it immediately, bank supervisors said. The issue is murkier for troubled banks that might qualify to close but whose closings might still be postponed or even prevented.

The FDIC’s first priority, spokesman Andrew Gray said, is to maintain public confidence in the banking system. “As evidenced by the stability of insured deposits throughout last year, this mission has been a success,” he said.

He said public confidence isn’t reason enough to delay a bank closing, because legally the decision to close rests with whoever chartered the bank — a state or federal agency.

But more than a dozen experts, including current and former regulators, bankers and lawyers, say the FDIC’s mission to maintain public confidence in the banking system contributes to the go-slow approach.

“The FDIC was set up to create confidence and prevent bank runs,” says Mark Williams, a former bank examiner for the Federal Reserve. Being too aggressive about bank closings “can be counter to the mission.”

Sarah Bloom Raskin, Maryland’s top banking regulator, said: “Technically it’s the states who decide, but in reality it’s the FDIC calling you to say” when the bank will be closed.

Last fall, the financial turmoil was rooted in bad bets that the nation’s biggest banks, like Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp., had made on complicated, high-risk mortgage investments.

Smaller banks have been undone by something more conventional — real estate, construction and industrial loans that have soured as the recession has deepened. Defaults are up as developers abandon failing projects and landlords can’t meet their loan payments.

Small- and mid-sized banks hold lots of those loans and have been hurt more than big ones by the sinking commercial real estate market, especially in states like California, Georgia and Illinois. As defaults rise, these banks must set aside more money to cover losses.

For the banks, this means mounting losses and shrinking reserves.

In a healthy economy, Williams said, the Fed and the FDIC would be inclined to close such weak banks. But these days, those agencies and other regulators prefer to hold off, hoping an economic recovery will eventually restore the health of some of the banks.

But the recovery is expected to be slow. Americans remain hesitant to spend money because of job losses, flat wages, tight credit and high debt. Their cutbacks have triggered tens of thousands of business failures.

Abandoned retail space in downtowns and suburban malls means no rental income for property owners. As landlords default on real estate loans, they weaken the banks that hold the loans.

The situation now is especially grave in Southern California, Georgia and Illinois, which have some of the highest home foreclosure rates. Twenty banks have closed in Georgia alone.

Individual bank depositors aren’t at risk when a bank fails. Their money is guaranteed up to $250,000 by the government. Ever conscious of maintaining public confidence, agency officials hammer this point in public statements.

When weak banks are allowed to stay open, their growing losses potentially can drain the FDIC’s deposit insurance fund faster, says Bert Ely, an independent banking consultant.

Federal agencies aren’t the only ones with an interest in slowing the pace of bank closings. State regulators with closer ties to local communities want to avoid the ripple effects when a town loses its main source of consumer and business credit, Williams said.

But finding buyers for wobbly banks has been tough.

FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair acknowledged as much in testimony this month before a Senate panel. The FDIC has been offering to share buyers’ losses on the assets being transferred, she said.

“In the past several months investor interest has been low,” she said in prepared testimony.

In an effort to find more potential buyers, the FDIC has relaxed the rules for private-equity firms to buy banks. In the past, regulators had feared such a move would allow investors to protect themselves from the cost of bank failures, escaping serious consequences while drawing down the FDIC’s fund.

An early success of the new strategy was a deal announced this month to sell assets from Corus Bank of Chicago to a group of private investors. But there still aren’t enough buyers to absorb quickly all the assets held by at-risk banks.

That’s because there are so many weak and failing banks on the market — and so few others strong enough to buy them. That’s one reason it’s hard to know how many more banks could be closed in coming months, said Daniel Alpert, Managing Partner of the New York investment bank Westwood Capital LLC.

“How many banks will survive?” Alpert asked. “Loans are still deteriorating, but there are glimmers of hope in the economy. Ultimately, it’s all about employment.”

Tracking Your Taxes: Millions Spent to Send Professors on Vacation

As if the life of a college professor weren’t easy enough, millions of taxpayer dollars are going to fund monthlong vacations for sightseeing scholars in Europe and South America, part of the $144 million budget provided for the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Government watchdogs say those trips are a waste of taxpayer money, and they’re not alone on an eye-popping list of NEH funding for projects, including:

* $400,000 for an exhibition “exploring the importance of plants as a source of inspiration for noted American poet Emily Dickinson”
* $350,000 to explore the “cultural significance of the circus poster”
* $725,000 to produce a two-hour documentary on the history of American whaling.

Are Cutbacks on Surgeons Risking Patients’ Lives?

By Bob L : NEWS AS I SEE IT!

By SCOTT HAIG Scott Haig – Mon Oct 26

Do you know how many people are at the table with gloves on, when you have an operation? There’s the surgeon and a scrub nurse, of course. A surgical tech may be there too, suctioning up those queasy fluids, holding the arm or leg we’re working on, cutting sutures and holding retractors. But you have seen enough medical shows to know there’s also always at least one other doctor present. We may not engage in the same kind of dramatic medical banter that fictional surgeons do (like flying a passenger jet, safe surgery should be a little bit boring), but that second doctor – the assistant surgeon – should be in the operating room for all major procedures.

WASHINGTON – It’s about to become official: The recession is over — but not the pain.

The government will release figures this week expected to show that the economy has awakened from its deepest slump since the 1930s and is in the early stages of a recovery. But the following week, the government will issue another set of figures expected to show unemployment continuing to rise toward and possibly above a clearly recessionary 10 percent.

How can both be possible?

Meltdown 101: What to know if your bank fails

NEW YORK – Dozens of banks have failed this year. What do you need to know if yours is next?

The number of bank failures has reached 115 since January — more than four times the total for 2008 and the most since the savings and loan crisis in 1992. And most experts expect problems caused by unpaid loans to force many more closures in the coming years, mostly among small, community-based banks.

U.S. executive pensions rose in ’08 even as stocks fell: report

By Bob L : NEWS AS I SEE IT!

In the face of the American worker as usual.

_________________________________________________

:  Mon Nov 2

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Pensions for top U.S. executive rose by an average of 19 percent last year, and more than 200 officers saw their retirement savings surge by as much as 50 percent, even as their companies stock prices fell, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.

Pensions rose as a result of generous formulas and some little-scrutinized techniques, such as changes in age or interest rates used in calculations, the paper said, citing an analysis of filings from 340 Standard & Poor’s 500 companies.

And with the public outraged over lavish pay and big bonuses, the Journal on its website said pensions rose even as stock prices dropped by an average of 37 percent last year. Yet supplemental executive retirement plans, or SERPs, are mostly overlooked.

The chief executive of Merck & Co (MRK.N) saw his pension benefit rise by nearly $10 million to $21.7 million last year. Certain incentive payments for ConocoPhillips (COP.N) CEO Jim Mulva boosted bis pension by $9.5 million to $68.2 million, the paper said.

The top executives at General Electric (GE.N) saw the amounts they were due from pensions rise by 13 percent to $140.7 million, the Journal said.

New York Democratic Senator Charles Schumer is asking the Obama administration to block millions of dollars in stimulus aid from going to a clean energy wind farm in Texas, because all of the turbines would be made overseas.

Schumer sent a letter to Energy Secretary Steven Chu calling the plan “quite troubling”: “The purpose of the Recovery Act was to jump start the economy to create and save jobs — American jobs. Yet the Texas wind farm project would create an estimated 2,000 to 3,000 clean energy manufacturing jobs in China.”

WASHINGTON – Setting up a historic year-end debate, Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid unveiled his long-awaited version of legislation to reshape the nation’s health care system Wednesday night, a measure designed to extend coverage to 94 percent of eligible Americans and bar private industry from denying insurance because of pre-existing medical conditions.

More than $98 billion in improper gov’t payments

By HOPE YEN, Associated Press Writer – Wed Nov 18

WASHINGTON – More than $98 billion in taxpayer dollars spent by government agencies was wasted, much of it on questionable claims for tax credits and Medicare benefits, representing an increase of $26 billion from the previous year.

In all, about 5 percent of spending in federal programs in fiscal year 2009 was improper, according to new details of a government financial report that were released Tuesday. Saying the overall error rate was similar in 2008, officials attributed the $26 billion jump to some changes in how to define improper spending as well as an increase in overall spending due to the recession.

Post-partisan or Most-partisan?

President Obama was supposed the first post-partisan president who would usher in a new era of openness and transparency in government. But the Democrats that are charged with sheparding his policies through Congress are rapidly making him the most-partisan President.From February’s largely party-line passage of the stimulus package — 60-38 in the Senate and 246-183 in the House — congressional action has only gotten more desperately partisan.In May, Rep. Henry Waxman rammed the Waxman-Markey climate bill through the House Energy and Commerce on a partisan 33-25 vote without providing committee members with a thorough analysis of the bill by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

State tax push makes U.S. firms wary of adding jobs

By Bob L.
Federal, State, City, County, no matter how you do it, say it, collect it, it comes down to the same thing, Bankruptcy, foreclosure, loss of Business, loss of jobs, and loss of taxes to keep this Country from going Bankrupt.
Until the Governments stop their GREED, and stop spending money that does not belong to them and start bringing BUSINESSES back to this Country, and lowering taxes to all and stop lining their pockets, this Country is in for a big crash again, and mite not recover this time.

OVERLAND PARK, Kansas (Reuters) – Dave Huston’s Kansas-based plastics company is down to 34 employees from 63 a year ago. With the U.S. recession starting to retreat, he would like to add back workers but will likely buy new equipment instead.

The reason? With Kansas joining the ranks of U.S. states scrambling to shore up a near-insolvent unemployment insurance fund, Huston’s business is facing an almost certain rise in state payroll taxes in 2010.

An Unhealthy Government Track Record

By Robert H. Knight
11/25/2009

The U.S. Senate is now trying to speed-read the 2,074 pages of the health care takeover bill after 60 senators voted to proceed on Nov. 21. It only took an insertion of $300 million to buy wavering Sen. Mary Landrieu’s vote in what some call the second “Louisiana Purchase.”

Majority Leader Harry Reid is boasting that the whole thing could be done before Christmas. If that is so, then Americans will find an enormous lump of coal in their stockings, big enough to change America forever.

President Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi tell us in reassuring tones that if we just gulp down their socialized medicine, health care will be simpler, more efficient, cost less and lower the federal deficit. They stop just short of claiming the plan will cure baldness and let us shed weight by eating more cheeseburgers.

These Boots Are Made for Talking

According to a report from a shoe store in Campbellsville, Kentucky, the Army Corps of Engineers “created or saved” nine jobs when it used money allocated by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to buy nine pairs of work boots. The Wall Street Journal reports that the store’s owner, frustrated by the government’s confusing online forms, enlisted the help of his 42-year-old daughter, who figured nine — the number of people who would use the boots on the job — made as much sense as any other answer.

A Troubled Thanksgiving 2009

by Dennis Prager
11/26/2009

I have always loved Thanksgiving. It is my favorite national holiday. It reminds Americans how fortunate we are to be Americans. And it unites Americans around gratitude, the greatest human trait. Gratitude is the mother of both goodness and happiness. The ungrateful cannot be either happy or good.

So, it is with a heavy heart that I write that my mood on this Thanksgiving will not be the same as on any other I have ever experienced.

My gratitude will be marred by a dark cloud.

Not the cloud of economic crisis; Americans have lived through worse economic crises.

God’s Blessings Needed Now More Than Ever

Like millions of American families yesterday, my family celebrated Thanksgiving, which President Washington declared “a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God.”

But as we were thanking God for His blessings, it struck me how many of those “signal favors of Almighty God” are endangered today not only by an administration that views the country it leads as inferior and unexceptional, but also by enemies determined to make that belief a reality.

There is no such thing as a minority, you are either the RICH class or you are the POOR class, if you are here LEGALLY, that is a one hundred percent American citizen and not some one that is brought here just to be a wage buster, then you are an American and deserve to work in the UNITED STATES.

Lets get to the real point, who would you work for, a person who went to a fancy school and came out as a stupid idiot, and who does not know the first thing about the job that they are trying to get, OR would you want to work for some one that started at the bottom in the ditch, not the gravy jobs, but the back breaker work that they will over see later, for a minimum or FIVE to TEN years, and then go to school and learn the rest of the job.

What the 9-11 Plotters Will Say in Court

By Robert Spencer
11/30/2009

With the Obama administration moving the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the other masterminds of 9/11 to New York City, many have pointed out that the defendants are likely to use the trial as a platform to spread their views on jihad, the U.S., and the war on terror. That’s most likely true — and we already know what they will say.

They told us last year, when they wrote a six-page document they filed with the military commission at Guantanamo: an “Islamic Response to the Government’s Nine Accusations.”

List of Taxes Proposed to Pay for Health Care Reform

by Curtis S. Dubay
11/30/2009

The U.S. Senate recently released its long-awaited proposal for a government-run hostile takeover of the entire U.S. health care system. Predictably, it includes a barrage of higher taxes to pay for the bill’s immense price tag.

An important addition to the list of tax hikes included in the Senate bill was an increase in the Medicare portion of the payroll tax. The current Medicare tax is 2.9 percent, paid half each by workers and employers. The proposal in the Senate bill raises this to 3.4 percent for workers making more than $200,000 a year ($250,000 for joint filers).

Health Care Double Speak

On Nov. 2,1 all 60 senators that caucus as Democrats voted to begin debate on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-Nev.) version of Obamacare. Proponents claim it would cost “just” $849 billion, even though the real ten-year price tag is approximately $2.5 trillion.

Help Stop this EVIL law!

HUMAN EVENTS

Dear Fellow Conservative,

In July 2007, Barack Obama promised a group of his supporters that, if elected president, he would sign perhaps the most evil piece of legislation in the history of our republic.

It’s called the “Freedom of Choice Act,” or FOCA — but don’t let the Orwellian title fool you. It isn’t about “freedom” or “choice” at all. It’s about forcing each and every American citizen — regardless of his or her view on abortion — to support abortion-on-demand not just as a “fundamental right” but as a taxpayer-funded entitlement.

Unwilling to criticize their leader and hero for sending more troops to Afghanistan, the American left has stepped-up its Bush-bashing. Many now blame George W. Bush for “forcing” Barack Obama into what they see as a bad decision.

Despite giving lip service to the need for unity, President Obama tossed several lines into his West Point speech that invited this finger-pointing at the former president.

By PETE YOST, Associated Press Writer – Mon Dec 7

WASHINGTON – An internal investigation of the community-organizing group ACORN concluded there was no criminal conduct by employees caught on videos offering advice on how to hide assets and falsify lending documents.

The report, which ACORN’s CEO described as “part vindication, part constructive criticism and complete roadmap for the future,” was unlikely to stem continuing political criticisms of the group and its efforts.

In a 47-page assessment that former Massachusetts Attorney General Scott Harshbarger was commissioned by the organization to do, he said ACORN leaders “appear committed to effect reform and are on their way to preserving ACORN and its mission in a reduced size and scope.”

FACT CHECK: Obama likes both sides of an argument

By Bob L.


The people need to take the credit cards away from this Government, and tell them that money does not grow on trees or that it does not fall out of the sky.
_____________________________________________________________

By JIM KUHNHENN and CALVIN WOODWARD, Associated Press Writers

WASHINGTON – In President Barack Obama’s hands, the $700 billion financial rescue fund offers a bit of bookkeeping magic: an opportunity to pay down the deficit while also spending more — thereby adding to it.

Under law, any paybacks to the bailout known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program must be used to reduce the deficit. But in an economic speech on Tuesday, the president sought to have it both ways. Increased repayments from banks to the Treasury will reduce the deficit all right, but it will give Congress the budgetary room to spend more — and the president encouraged just that.

“There are those who claim we have to choose between paying down our deficits on the one hand, and investing in job creation and economic growth on the other,” Obama said. “But this is a false choice.”

Copenhagen is on fire this week, and there’s far more heating up than just the climate.

U.N. talks stall after African protest over Kyoto

Rich Nations Poor Nations

How much money do these so called poor nations receive each year from these rich Countries, and much of that money does not get to the people because the rich keep it for them selves, and that has been proven over the years. Look at all these Charities that collect  for these Poor Countries, and you know we have gone over and given them equipment and training to teach them how to farm, we send them food, but their GOVERNMENT and their WEALTHY keep it and only give out what they don’t want, a good example is Mexico look at the wealth of the money they get from OIL, but they pose as poor country.

And is every country Rich and Poor going to tax every one the same, or is it like our one sided trade deal.

COPENHAGEN (Reuters) – The main session of U.N. climate talks in Copenhagen stalled on Monday after African nations accused rich countries of trying to kill the existing U.N. Kyoto Protocol.

Talks failed to start as planned at 1030 GMT due to the African protest. The session was to seek ways to end deadlock on core issues, four days before about 110 world leaders aim to agree a new climate deal to limit global warming that scientists say will bring more heatwaves, floods and rising sea levels.

The people in the room for Rubio were the same people who blew up NY-23, helping Doug Hoffman and crushing the chances of a far left Republican, Dede Scozzafava. Just prior to the start of the fundraiser, a bomb went off in Florida. According to Rasmussen, the Florida Senate primary is now tied between Rubio and Crist. For perspective, only about six months ago, Rubio was in the single digits with Crist safely over 50%. Jim DeMint told the crowd that Rubio is one of a handful of “new Republicans” running to take back our country. And the new poll shows it is working. Please click here for the rest of the post.

Obama’s Message: Be Afraid, Very Afraid

By Oliver North
12/18/2009

Washington, D.C. — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is TIME magazine’s “Person of the Year.” Twelve months ago the “honor” went to president-elect, Senator Barack Obama. Notably, the 1932 recipient was president-elect Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who asserted in his March 4, 1933, Inaugural Address, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”

Roosevelt went on to describe the economic anxieties of millions left jobless in a deepening depression as “nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.” He then served notice that if the “national emergency” required it, he would “ask the Congress for the one remaining instrument to meet the crisis — broad Executive power to wage a war against the emergency, as great as the power that would be given to me if we were in fact invaded by a foreign foe.”

U.S. taxpayers are spending more than $40,000 per month on office space, staff, cell phones and a leased SUV for former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, even as he works as a lobbyist for private corporations and foreign governments.

The payments are perfectly legal under a federal law that provides five years of benefits for former speakers — but only if Hastert never makes use of his government-funded perks in the course of his lobbying work. Ethics experts say that sort of separation is hard to maintain.

Neb.’s Nelson sees backlash on health reform plan


By MARGERY A. BECK, Associated Press Writer – Sun Dec 20

OMAHA, Neb. – It was the concern of Nebraska’s Republican governor over expanded Medicaid costs in the proposed Senate health care overhaul bill that led to a compromise to cover his state’s estimated $45 million share over a decade, U.S. Sen. Ben Nelson said Sunday.

Gov. Dave Heineman “contacted me and he said this is another unfunded federal mandate and it’s going to stress the state budget, and I agreed with him,” said the Nebraska Democrat, who was himself a Nebraska governor in the 1990s. “I said to the leader and others that this is something that has to be fixed. I didn’t participate in the way it was fixed.”

It was never about abortion. For Sen. Ben Nelson, a devout appropriator, it was all about the benjamins.

In short, taxpayers across America are now on the hook for abortions in New York and Medicaid cost overruns in Nebraska. Somewhere Sen.

Do You Know How Radical Kevin Jennings Is?

By David Limbaugh
12/19/2009

I’m wondering whether there’s anyone out there with the guts to pretend that it’s insignificant that President Barack Obama keeps appointing radical after radical to his czar positions. Can anyone honestly say Obama’s appointments don’t tell us a great deal about Obama himself — as if we needed any further proof he is a left-wing extremist?

I don’t need to make a list of his radical appointees and detail proof of their extremism. Anyone paying attention knows it’s irrefutably true that this has become a deliberate pattern. Statistically, Obama couldn’t accidentally appoint this many radicals in two political lifetimes. Is he rubbing these people in our faces or just surrounding himself with like-minded soul mates — or both?

Woman arrested in Hawaii for threat to first lady

Wed Dec 23

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. authorities arrested and charged a woman in Hawaii last week for allegedly threatening to kill President Barack Obama’s wife, Michelle, days before the Obamas were due to arrive in the state for the Christmas holiday.

Kristy Lee Roshia was arrested on December 19 in Kaneohe, Hawaii, by the U.S. Secret Service after determining she had made the threat and had information about where the Obama family would be staying during their visit, according to court documents filed this week.

She was charged with making the threat against the first lady and assaulting a Secret Service agent after she was arrested.

A federal judge on Wednesday postponed a detention hearing for Roshia until a mental competency exam is conducted and she will remain in custody until then, according to court records.

The threat was originally made on November 10 during a telephone call to the Secret Service office in Boston and she also threatened to kill a Secret Service agent and Marines during the conversation, the documents said.

Agents determined that Roshia was living near a Marine Corps base in Hawaii based on correspondence she had sent to the Boston office that arrived the previous day.

During an interview with agents on December 19, Roshia said she had gone to Hawaii in September to “protect Obama,” had been to the location where the presidential family would be staying and was working at the golf course at the Marine base, a Secret Service affidavit said.

After Roshia was placed under arrest, she assaulted the Secret Service agent and claimed she would “blow away the whole Oval Office,” the affidavit said.

Roshia began contacting the Secret Service in 2004 and from 2007 made numerous angry calls to the Boston office, sometimes five to 10 times a day, the affidavit said.

The Obama family is expected to leave for Honolulu, Hawaii on Thursday morning after the U.S. Senate votes on his top legislative priority, overhauling the U.S. healthcare system.

Two Escapes delay Ohio-bound flight in Houston

Wed Dec 23

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Passengers on a Continental Airlines flight couldn’t believe it when they saw an otter scurry from the plane’s cargo hold and onto the tarmac at Houston’s Bush Intercontinental Airport. The daring escape by a pair of otters delayed the Ohio-bound flight for about an hour Tuesday night.

One passenger said that most on board thought the delay was a joke at first. But another said they watched one of the otters scurry across the tarmac.

Airport workers managed to catch the otters and return them to their cages and the flight took off for Columbus.

Senate OKs health care measure, reaching milestone

The birthers, the fanatics, the people running around in right-wing militia and Aryan support groups, it is unbearable to them that President Barack Obama should exist.]

These are segments from the story and the way I see it, or you can read the whole story HERE

Both bills would extend health insurance to more than 30 million more Americans, (that will be free to those who are not LEGAL CITIZENS, and don’t pay for it.)

So did Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., the longest-serving House member and a champion of universal health care his entire career, (is he going to take the insurance, no just like the rest of them they have free Cadillac plans.)

The Congressional Budget Office predicts the bill will reduce deficits by $130 billion over the next 10 years, an estimate that assumes lawmakers carry through on hundreds of billions of dollars in planned cuts to insurance companies and doctors, hospitals and others who treat Medicare patients.

“Not even Ebenezer Scrooge himself could devise a scheme as cruel and greedy as Democrats’ government takeover of health care,” the Ohio Republican said in a statement.

“Senator Reid’s health care bill increases premiums for families and small businesses, raises taxes during a recession, cuts seniors’ Medicare benefits, adds to our skyrocketing debt, and puts bureaucrats in charge of decisions that should be made by patients and doctors,” he said. “The bill also authorizes taxpayer-funded abortions, violating long-standing federal policy. It’s no coincidence that the more the American people learn about this monstrosity, the more they oppose it.

Democrats will say any thing to blame some one else

By Ann Coulter
12/23/2009

Irritated at the bumps on the road to the Democrats’ Thousand-Year Reich, liberals are now claiming that Republican Sen. Tom Coburn requested a prayer for the death of Sen. Bob Byrd during the health care debate last Saturday night.

Here is what Coburn actually said: “What the American people ought to pray is that somebody can’t make the vote tonight. That’s what they ought to pray.” <—-<—-  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kahHfIYjb90&feature=player_embedded

After reporting Coburn’s remark, The Washington Post’s Dana Milbank added: “It was difficult to escape the conclusion that Coburn was referring to the 92-year-old, wheelchair-bound Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.V.).”

Recess Leadership

Today the Senate will drop its huge lump of coal in our Christmas stockings by passing Harry Reid’s version of the Obamacare bill. And when it’s done, its members can join the already-recessed House for their much-anticipated if not well-earned Christmas vacation.

Congressional recesses, especially the Christmas break, were short vacations from politics until Bill Clinton invented the never-ending campaign. And Barack Obama has made the Clinton method a thousand times worse. In the “crisis for sale” environment Obama created, there is never a respite.

Disinfectants Cause Some Bacteria to Adapt, Thrive

By Bob L.

This article is one of my biggest complaints I have had for a few years, being that drugs are used for any thing, from a stubbed toe to a major diseases with no re guard for the people on what it does to the immune system over time.

A few years back they were pushing every one to use disinfectant soap until they found out that it was not helping any thing but bacteria survive.

It is not that the bacteria is getting stronger , it is that immune systems are getting weaker do to over uses of drugs that are on the market to day, they have so many side effects that they just give another drug for that side effect, and the next thing you know you are on five to ten drugs feeding the drug companies.

Pressure rises to stop antibiotics in agriculture

By Bob L.

You talk about chemicals used in fields to protect crops from bugs and disease being hazardous, how about other things you eat, did you ever think about all the chemicals they feed to animals that you eat, it all go s back to the Government, what they want and what they require.

Now go back to the article before this one.

Have you ever noticed any thing the Government is involved in comes back to haunt you health wise like all  ecol i warnings,  they have no idea what is safe or not, they just think it sounds good looks good so it safe. Look at the tomato scare and it was not tomatoes, that they were covering up because they did not want to cause any waves with other Countries, and the U.S. was being blamed for it, and what it cost to this Country from it when it was Mexico all along.

FRANKENSTEIN, Mo. – The mystery started the day farmer Russ Kremer got between a jealous boar and a sow in heat.

The boar gored Kremer in the knee with a razor-sharp tusk. The burly pig farmer shrugged it off, figuring: “You pour the blood out of your boot and go on.”

But Kremer’s red-hot leg ballooned to double its size. A strep infection spread, threatening his life and baffling doctors. Two months of multiple antibiotics did virtually nothing.

Health Legislation Misses the Mark

By James R. Edwards, Jr.
12/31/2009

Health reform has devolved into a cesspool. Congress should scrap its ugly bills and start over.

The “solution” doesn’t solve the central challenges facing American health care. The legislation breaks President Obama’s promises. And the process used to legislate makes the old Tammany Hall politicians look like amateurs.

The legislation puts big government, not consumers, patients and doctors, in charge of medicine. It omits market-based approaches that would both contain costs and improve quality. It doesn’t “bend the cost curve,” at least not downward. It won’t curb frivolous lawsuits. It limits insurance plans to a handful of benefit designs, limiting consumer options.

ObamaCare: ‘New frontier in pork barrel politics’

By Rowan Scarborough
12/30/2009

What was championed by Democrats a year ago as a high-minded endeavor to reform health care has instead descended into a grotesque piece of legislation larded with pork, payoffs, back room deals and huge tax increases, say Republicans and experts on Congress.

“We have former members of Congress in jail and a lobbyist in jail for this sort of behavior,” said David Williams, who has been tracking pork-barrel spending for 15 years for Citizens Against Government Waste. “People are really fed up with it.”

The close-door deal making is just getting revved up. House and Senate leaders will hold private negotiations next month to reconcile their bills. Envious of the deals Democratic senators extracted from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House members are sure to demand their share of pork favors in exchange for floor votes.

Cities, counties take back corporate tax breaks

CHICAGO – Cash-strapped communities have a message for corporations that promised jobs in return for tax breaks: A deal’s a deal.

As the recession drags on, municipalities struggling to fix roads, fund schools and pay bills increasingly are rescinding tax abatements to companies that don’t hire enough workers, lay them off or close up shop. At the same time, they’re sharpening new incentive deals, leaving no doubt what is expected of companies and what will happen if they don’t deliver.

The United States opens this decade in a sour mood. First, Americans are anxious about the future. Sixty-one percent of Americans believe the country is in decline, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey. Only 27 percent feel confident that their children’s generation will be better off than they are.

Second, Americans have lost faith in their institutions. During the great moments of social reform, at least 60 percent of Americans trusted government to do the right thing most of the time. Now, only a quarter have that kind of trust.

An Uneasy Feeling

By BOB HERBERT
Published: January 4, 2010

I’m starting the new year with the sinking feeling that important opportunities are slipping from the nation’s grasp. Our collective consciousness tends to obsess indiscriminately over one or two issues — the would-be bomber on the flight into Detroit, the Tiger Woods saga — while enormous problems that should be engaged get short shrift.

Staggering numbers of Americans are still unemployed and nearly a quarter of all homeowners owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth. Forget the false hope of modestly improving monthly job numbers. The real story right now is the entrenched suffering (with no end in sight) that has been inflicted on scores of millions of working Americans by the Great Recession and the misguided economic policies that preceded it.

Memo to Gore – It’s REALLY cold out

By Pat Gray
January 8, 2010

Madness, it’s all madness. Watching a report during the break here on another of the global warming hoax problems.

All these, all of the products we are developing now to solve the nonexistent global warming problem cause other kinds of problems like the street lights that are LED, they are not hot enough to melt the snow in the cities where it snows. So sometimes they are shorting out because of the water that seeps in. Or the motorists can’t see through the snow that accumulates on them and they’re accidents are happening. The old lights, the old street, the old stoplights, not street lights but the stoplights, you know, red, yellow and green, they used to melt the snow off of them because they’re hot! They warm up. These don’t.

Global Warmists’ Mouths Frozen Shut

By Ross Kaminsky
01/08/2010

After the climate hoaxers and extortionists quietly slunk home after their utter failure in Copenhagen, one might have expected a barrage of “the end is nigh” press releases by Al Gore and friends, explaining how the refusal of governments to kneecap their economies will lead to us all being slowly convection baked to death in a never-ending trend of man-made global warming.

But apparently the alarmists have gone into hibernation…perhaps because world-wide record breaking cold would expose errors so great that even the “mainstream” news would have to call them out as full of (much needed) hot air.

As often seems to happen around big “global warming events”, Copenhagen was hit with extremely cold weather during the “climate conference,” including a blizzard on December 17…in a country which hasn’t had a white Christmas since 1995. In a bit of “God must have a sense of humor” irony, the cold weather followed President Obama home, dumping record snowfalls in and around Washington, D.C. two days later.

ATLANTA – Snow and blustery winds blew into the already-frigid East on Friday and a deep freeze settled into the Deep South, making highways especially hazardous in a region unaccustomed to the chilly temperatures.

Arctic air continued to blanket much of the nation a day after a tractor-trailer jackknifed on a snow-slick Ohio road and hit a van carrying disabled adults, killing four people.

In Atlanta, more accustomed to winter temperatures in the low 50s, a glaze of ice coated roads Friday after light snow overnight melted and froze. Nearly 30 cars piled up in a pre-dawn crash near Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Peter Schiff   January 10, 2010

It seems that the primary qualification needed by any chairman of the Federal Reserve is the ability to never admit error, no matter how damning the evidence. During his tenure on the job, Alan Greenspan set the standard for implausible deniability. But in a speech last weekend in Atlanta, current chairman Ben Bernanke did the Maestro one better. In a tortured academic dissertation, Bernanke explicitly denied any Fed culpability for inflating the housing bubble and for the financial crisis that began when it burst. Despite his best efforts, no one seemed particularly convinced. By taking such an absurd stand, he has destroyed any credibility he may have had left.

“It’s outrageous that economic stimulus money is being used to support research conducted by Michael Mann at the very time he’s under investigation by Penn State and is one of the key figures in the international Climategate scandal.  Penn State should immediately return these funds to the U.S. Treasury,” said Tom Borelli, Ph.D., director of the National Center’s Free Enterprise Project.

When Conservative Felonies Become Liberal Misdemeanors

Why in matters of stupid behavior do liberals and Democrats often get second and third chances from the media and general public not accorded to their conservative and Republican counterparts?

We’re seeing it now in the national reaction to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s reported racial gaffe. Compare how he’s being treated to what happened to Trent Lott in 2002.

Public and media pressure forced Lott to resign his Senate minority leadership post after going way over the top at a private birthday party for Strom Thurmond. In his tribute to Thurmond, Lott heaped praise on the centenarian senator’s 1948 Dixiecrat presidential candidacy — despite the fact it was predicated mostly on promoting racial segregation.

In a brief appearance with advisers at the White House, Obama branded the latest round of bank bonuses as “obscene.” But he said his goal was to prevent such excesses in the future, not to punish banks for past behavior.

In the cast of corporate characters, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are A-list villains, thanks to the central role they played in the 2008 financial meltdown. The two mortgage-finance firms failed as spectacularly as AIG, the poster child for finance-gone-wrong, with the combined Fannie-Freddie rescue totaling about $111 billion so far–the biggest bailout of all. Both firms are effectively nationalized, and the government would probably wind them down except for one thing: They underwrite about three quarters of all the mortgages issued in the United States.

Senate set to vote on pay-go bill to clear way for debate over debt

By Walter Alarkon
01/18/10

Senators will vote on a pay-as-you-go measure this week as they move to address the country’s growing $12.3 trillion debt.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) will bring pay-go to the floor as an amendment to a bill seeking to increase the federal debt ceiling, part of a deal made with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in a broader debate over the federal debt.

Pay-go requires mandatory spending increases to be offset with spending cuts elsewhere or tax hikes. Reid’s office said the language is still being worked out.

The Senate debate on the debt-limit increase will begin Wednesday.

The debt-limit increase and pay-go are pieces of a bigger fiscal reform puzzle.

California Republicans say Scott Brown’s win in the Massachusetts special Senate election portends a conservative wave in November’s midterm elections, and electoral doom for incumbent U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.

But Democrats cite big differences between the Bay State and the Golden State, and Boxer’s challengers have a much tougher row to hoe than Brown did.

California Republican Party Chairman Ron Nehring asked Tuesday whether Democrats “will finally start listening to the American people, who want taxes lowered, the debt retired, and government out of the way; or if they will continue to let the most radical elements of their party continue to determine the direction of the country. With Scott Brown’s election, the opportunity to do the latter has just been cut short.

Five Challenges for President Obama

By Rep. Tom Price
01/20/2010

In the wake of the Christmas Day terror attack, President Obama made an important declaration, one that represents a startling departure from the stance he has offered since being sworn into office one year ago. He said, “Ultimately, the buck stops with me.” This is a remarkable reversal from a President, who at any hint of public criticism over the last twelve months, has erupted in finger-pointing. All of his problems were “inherited,” he regularly reminds us.

This new candor is welcome. With our national mood and prosperity sagging under the weight of his failed first year in office, it’s time for the President to take responsibility for his agenda and demonstrate some leadership in resolving our nation’s challenges. To hold the President to his words, we offer him five challenges for the New Year that, if met, can restore American confidence and prosperity.

Obama: One Year and $1.8 Trillion Later

By Rep. Paul Ryan
01/20/2010

As we mark the first anniversary of President Obama’s administration, it is clear that the reality of his agenda bears little resemblance to the hopeful vision most Americans had when he was inaugurated last January.

Without question, our nation faced a particularly difficult economic and fiscal situation at that time — the economic recession, mounting job losses, unrelenting health care costs, and the unsustainable path of Federal spending and looming entitlement crisis.

But instead of pursuing bipartisan solutions to tackle our most urgent domestic challenges, Washington’s Democratic leaders chose to go-it alone, exploiting Americans’ genuine economic anxieties to justify an explosion of Federal Government spending, intrusion and control.

The Lessons of Massachusetts

By Newt Gingrich
January 21, 2010

Scott Brown gave a great victory speech last night after a tremendous victory.

He is an attractive, articulate, courageous, hard working candidate.

He had the courage to serve for years in a small minority in the Massachusetts legislature.

He had the courage to serve for 20 years and become a lieutenant colonel in the Massachusetts Army Reserve.

He had the courage to run for the Senate seat which no Republican has won since Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. in 1946 (in a state where the last Republican Senator, Ed Brooke, was elected in 1972).

He had the courage to run a positive, issues-oriented campaign (a lesson every Republican candidate should learn from this victory as well as the gubernatorial victories in Virginia and New Jersey).

Senator-elect Brown had the courage to cheerfully stick with his truck even under scornful ridicule from the President.

“The land of the free and the home of the brave” (as our national anthem suggests) has to start with bravery or it can’t remain free.

Obama’s Inaugural Lies Exposed

January 20, 2009 – President Obama made some big promises to the people. One year later has he kept his word? Let’s take a look at what he said and then what he did.

Barack Hussein Obama made a lot of promises during his two-year long campaign, and attempted to solidify these pledges in his inaugural address.  True, these promises took a softer form (some might call it pap) in his inaugural speech, but those who supported him and voted for him in 2008 understood what he was meant to do on their behalf.  This was, of course, before most of us, both on the left and on the right, knew what his real agenda was.

Well, has he delivered?

On his first day on the job, Barack Hussein Obama said about his administration:

“We will act, not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth:”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner denied any role in disclosures about American International Group’s payments to banks and defended his decisions as New York Federal Reserve chief to pay full price to retire AIG credit default swaps.

Geithner, in prepared testimony for a much-anticipated congressional hearing on Wednesday, said protracted demands for concessions from banks in late 2008 could have triggered devastating credit rating downgrades and brought AIG down, with “catastrophic” consequences for the U.S. economy.

Geithner’s testimony is widely seen as important for his future as Treasury chief. He has denied acting in the interests of specific institutions.

Obama’s goal: Get agenda moving, people believing

By Bob L.    How I see what is happening in this Country.

This should have been the TOP priority over any thing else, but no Obamacare, Climate change, and what ever else was more important then getting people back to work, that shows just how much he cares about the United States, his priority’s are for any other Country then here.

As far as believing, I don’t believe one thing that he is doing or trying to do, it is just a cover up like every thing else he does.

Until I see Companies come back to this Country then maybe, but until they bring taxes down to bring them back, it will never happen, look at states that lower their taxes, Companies move in, and why are taxes so high, I don’t know, or is it so much is spent on special interest programs that is to keep them happy.

It is just like schools, the three R s and training for jobs should be top priority, but they spend a lot of money on bowling, archery, you get the idea, other thing are more important, it should be if you want those programs then you pay for it your self, don’t make the taxpayer pay for it.

WASHINGTON – Facing a divided Congress and a dissatisfied nation, President Barack Obama will unveil a jobs-heavy agenda in his State of the Union address Wednesday, retooling his message more than his mission.

His goal: Get the economy, the confidence of voters and his own presidency on surer footing.

Obama’s speech will be underpinned by two themes — reassuring millions of Americans that he understands their struggles and convincing people that he is working to change Washington even as he finds himself working within its old political ways.

The 9 p.m. EST address has enormous stakes for Obama. He rode a tide of voter frustration into office and now is getting smacked by it himself.

POLITICO

President Barack Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will be all smiles as the president arrives at the Capitol for his State of the Union speech Wednesday night, but the happy faces can’t hide relationships that are fraying and fraught.

The anger is most palpable in the House, where Pelosi and her allies believe Obama’s reluctance to stake his political capital on health care reform in mid-2009 contributed to the near collapse of negotiations now.

But sources say there are also signs of strain between Reid and White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, and relations between Democrats in the House and Democrats in the Senate are hovering between thinly veiled disdain and outright hostility.

In a display of contempt unfathomable in the feel-good days after Obama’s Inauguration, freshman Rep. Dina Titus (D-Nev.) stood up at a meeting with Pelosi last week to declare: “Reid is done; he’s going to lose” in November, according to three people who were in the room.

Can’t We At Least Get a Toaster?

In the wake of the Massachusetts Miracle last week (“The other Boston Massacre”), President Obama adopted a populist mantle, claiming he was going to “fight” Wall Street. It was either that or win another Nobel Peace Prize.

Now the only question is which Goldman Sachs crony he’ll put in charge of this task.

If Obama plans to hold Wall Street accountable for its own bad decisions, it will be a first for the Democrats.

For the past two decades, Democrats have specialized in insulating financial giants from the consequences of their own high-risk bets. Citigroup and Goldman Sachs alone have been rescued from their risky bets by unwitting taxpayers four times in the last 15 years.

McDonnell Trumps Obama’s State of the Union Speech

01/28/2010

Speaking from the floor House of Delegates at the Virginia state capitol building in front of over 300 people, newly-inaugurated Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell delivered the Republican response to the President’s State of the Union Address last night. McDonnell was sworn in just 11 days ago after having received more votes for governor in his election last fall than any other gubernatorial candidate in Virginia history.

McDonnell stepped onto the national stage last night with great ease, articulating the conservative ideals and the common sense that Americans are eager to embrace after a long year of an unprecedented spending binge.

“Today, the federal government is simply trying to do too much,” McDonnell said in the speech. “Last year, we were told that massive new federal spending would create more jobs ‘immediately’ and hold unemployment below eight percent.”

Obama budget would impose host of tax increases

WASHINGTON – While President Barack Obama is proposing to cut some taxes for companies that hire workers, his budget would raise a host of other taxes on businesses and wealthy individuals.

Obama’s budget would extend his signature Making Work Pay tax credit — $400 for individuals, $800 for a couple filing jointly — through 2011. The administration released the budget Monday.

But it would also impose nearly $1 trillion in higher taxes on couples making more than $250,000 and individuals making more than $200,000 by not renewing Bush-era tax cuts for them. Obama would extend tax cuts enacted under former President George W. Bush for families and individuals making less.

By Bob L. The the way I see it.

LAS VEGAS – President Barack Obama is known for having a way with words, but some lawmakers from Nevada wish he would pipe down about trips to Sin City.

After sparking a firestorm of criticism from Nevada’s elected officials for suggesting that people saving money for college shouldn’t blow it in Las Vegas, Obama told U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in a letter that he wasn’t saying anything negative about Las Vegas.

It was the second time since taking office that Obama singled out Las Vegas as a potential example of spending excessively.

Deficit Hawks vs. Deficit Peacocks: Fiscal Conservatism vs. Liberal Rhetoric

Newt Gingrich

February 3, 2010

It’s not often that I quote the liberal Center for American Progress, but they’ve come up with a term for the Washington liberals posing as budget cutters that is perfect: Deficit peacocks.

As opposed to deficit hawks who are the real fiscal conservatives, deficit peacocks strut around pretending to cut spending through gimmicks like spending freezes that are “freezes” only in the sense that they “freeze” into place previous frenzied spending binges (check out this clever video to see the “freeze” in action).

By pretending to be budget cutters, deficit peacocks engage in an old liberal trick. They promise future spending cuts while approving massive current spending. Then, later, they demand tax increases to pay for all that spending.

Today, deficit peacocks are strutting all over Washington. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and President Obama could all cut spending if they wanted to, they just don’t want to.

They’d rather pretend and try to fool the American people. They say, “Wait for the spending cuts.”
I say, “Watch your wallet America.”

Obama, black leaders focus on economic hard times

By Bob L. This is the way I see it!

If all these agitators would go out and get a real job and stop making it hard for any one to get a job, and keep their nose out of every ones business, but that will never happen because they have a double standard and are making sure that they keep race stirred up because if a white says some thing SUE, but if a black says the same thing it is FUNNY, so how can any one have equal rights.

If you were an Employer would you hire any one if you new that you would get sued for firing some one because they could not do the job or they were causing trouble all the time, or showed up when ever they wanted to, knowing that they could sue if they got fired.
I my self would not hire any one unless they really wanted to work and not there because I had to hire them, so take it from there why do some minorities get a job and not others.(It is a matter of a chip.)

If all these Prominent African-American leaders would keep their mouth shut and stop keeping things in an uproar and stop trying to sue companies every time a minority looses a job or can’t get a job then maybe every one will get a job if these companies know they will not get sued every time they turn around.

US debt will keep growing even with recovery

By Bob L. Trying to ride out this non recession!

If any one says that we are not in a recession or ready to drop into a recession you are being misinformed by our Government bureaucrats, and the news media.

Do you think you are better off today then you were TEN yours ago? if you are then you are one of the lucky ones, you better be thankful and hang on to what you have and not look for some thing better.

At this point of time I don’t believe one word this Government is peddling.

WASHINGTON – It’s bad enough that Greece’s debt problems have rattled global financial markets. In the world’s largest economic and military power, there’s a far more serious debt dilemma.

For the U.S., the crushing weight of its debt threatens to overwhelm everything the federal government does, even in the short-term, best-case financial scenario — a full recovery and a return to prerecession employment levels.

The government already has made so many promises to so many expanding “mandatory” programs. Just keeping these commitments, without major changes in taxing and spending, will lead to deficits that cannot be sustained.

Take Social Security, Medicare and other benefits. Add in interest payments on a national debt that now exceeds $12.3 trillion. It all will gobble up 80 percent of all federal revenues by 2020, government economists project.

That doesn’t leave room for much else. What’s left is the entire rest of the government, including military and homeland security spending, which has been protected and nurtured by the White House and Congress, regardless of the party in power.

The U.S. debt crisis also raises the question of how long the world’s leading power can remain its largest borrower.

Moody’s Investors Service recently warned that Washington’s credit rating could be in jeopardy if the nation’s finances didn’t improve.

Despite election-year political pressure from voters for lawmakers to restrain spending, some recent votes suggests that Congress, left to its own devices, probably isn’t up to the task of trimming deficits.

A different kind of Olympic drama: Foreclosure

By Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, CNBC.com
2/18/2010

The Whistler-Blackcombe resort, where the Alpine events such as snowboarding and ski-jumping are being held, could go into foreclosure this week, smack dab in the middle of the Olympics, and be owned in part by the now defunct Lehman Brothers, one of its creditors.

Whistler Blackcombe is one of several ski resort properties owned by Intrawest. Others include Steamboat and Stratton. The company is in deep financial straits and missed a debt payment of more than $500 million in December. The lenders have given Intrawest a deadline of this Friday to come up with the money, or they say they will foreclose.

Intrawest is owned by Fortress Investments, a well known, private equity firm and hedge fund, which bought Intrawest in a leveraged buyout in 2006 for $2.8 billion. The rationale for the investment was that condo sales slopeside would provide cash to pay back the $1.7 billion in debt they took on as a result of the deal. Then the real estate market collapsed.

The CEO of Fortress, Dan Mudd, was on CNBC and acknowledged Intrawest is having a tough time with the real estate sales, but that the on-slope operations of the business – lift tickets, etc. – are doing better. He says they want to manage their way through the crisis and realize the full value of the investment. He said negotiations are ongoing right now with the creditors.

Resort investments have been particularly hard hit in the economic downturn. On Tuesday, East West Resort Development, owner of various luxury ski resorts and a Jack Nicklaus golf course near Lake Tahoe, filed for bankruptcy.

Judging stimulus: Jobless rate high, growth real

By Bob L. How I see the directions this Country is headed!

How many of these job that they are saying they provided are year round and full time at good wages, does any one know. Ask the people that are still out of work who don’t have a UNION job.

It seams that the only jobs that were saved were Government and some Unions who are still getting pay increases.

Will there ever be full time General jobs in this Country that pay a good wage again for people who can’t afford to go to college, or will there be more people who want to work but can’t get a job because they don’t have a college degree that the Government says you have to have to get a job.

Despite Obama’s bold promises, unemployment remains stubbornly high. But job losses have slowed dramatically.

States must fill $1 trillion pension gap

By Bob L. The way I see it!

Here is a good example of why you have high taxes, Government hires to many people to do a job that fewer people can do, then they hirer consulting firms to do what is suppose to be done by the people in these Government jobs that you the tax payer is paying for, then you have to pay for their PENSIONS and HEALTH INSURANCE also. A good example, a private company sends out FOUR workers, to where the Government sends out EIGHT to TEN workers to do the same job, now why are taxes so high, (when some are making $45.00 dollars an hour or more.) Who pays for these WAGES, PENSIONS and HEALTH INSURANCE benefits? YOU, and JUST THINK, you pay into them and don’t get any of there benefits.
This whole article sounds just like Social Security, except on the State level.

HARRISBURG, Pa. – States may be forced to reduce benefits, raise taxes or slash government services to address a $1 trillion funding shortfall in public sector retirement benefits, according to a new study that warns of even more debilitating costs if immediate action isn’t taken.

The Pew Center on the States released a survey Thursday of state-administered pension plans, retiree health care and other post-employment benefits in all 50 states that blamed a decade’s worth of policy decisions for leaving them shortchanged.

Obama to spell out new healthcare plan

By Bob L. The way I see it!
I Solemnly swear on the U.S. Constitution and the ah ah ah Bi–e, that I do not lie and every thing that I said was not just CAMPAIGN PROMISES, or were they, NO they were just promises so I would get Elected.

Him and every one of the Democrats and and some Republicans don’t seam to have any concern what happens to this Country or any U.S. Citizen, because they want to shove His programs down our throats, because they are not going to listen to any thing the Republicans have to say.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama is expected to publish his healthcare plan as early as Sunday or Monday, combining features of the two Democratic bills passed by the Senate and House of Representatives, congressional aides and healthcare advocates said on Friday.

The administration’s bill will aim to jump-start the stalled healthcare overhaul and comes just days ahead of a planned televised White House summit with congressional Republicans, who are calling on Democrats to scrap the bills and start over with a far less sweeping proposal.

Democrats are struggling to push healthcare legislation over the finish line in the face of sagging public support and solid Republican opposition bolstered by recent election victories in Massachusetts, Virginia and New Jersey.

Reid will back public option if GOP barrier fails

By Bob L. I take it as the Democrats are they will not pass a health care bill if the Republicans are involved. In other words, they are saying,  you are going to take this program whether you want it or not because we have stock in it.

They are small time DICTATORS trying to get bigger with the help of some ones backers and thugs with a gun to the peoples head, take it or go to jail.

This is why they want to take away your guns so you can not PROTECT your self or Family.
___________________________________________________________

Fri Feb 19

WASHINGTON – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says he will support allowing the government to sell insurance in competition with private industry if the White House and Democratic leaders push a health care bill with no Republican backing.

Many conservatives and some moderates oppose the so-called public option. It’s in the House bill, but not the Senate version. The White House is trying to reconcile the two bills before Thursday’s bipartisan summit.

Reid’s office said Friday he will work with the White House and Democratic lawmakers to try to craft a public option that can overcome obstacles such as a bill-killing GOP filibuster.

Some congressional Democrats say they doubt the White House would include a public option in the proposal it will unveil Monday.

Nancy Pelosi goes on offense

By Bob L.  If its not giving them selves special money to get Democrats  to pass their programs that people don’t want, now they are bribing the Republicans to get on board so they can make it look bad for the them. Obama and the Democrats will do any thing to get this garbage passed knowing that it is going to raise the deficit more, it just shows that they don’t care what happens to this Country.

Does any of this sound like they went in to office to protect this Country and the CONSTITUTION, NO, it sounds like I am a DEMOCRAT and you are a REPUBLICAN and vice versa, once they are elected there should be one Governmental body not TWO not THREE, but ONE, and ONE body ONLY.

They were not elected to be two parties, they were elected to protect the CONSTITUTION, and they were elected to serve and keep this country FREE and Prosperous, it is not their Country, it belongs to every Legal American Citizen and any one who becomes legal to stay in this Country, LEGALLY.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is getting her hands dirty.

In a rare rebuke from the speaker, Pelosi is taking direct aim at individual Republicans, hinting at hypocrisy in their opposition to the stimulus package, saying it provided hundreds of thousands of their constituents tax cuts.

Pelosi, in an e-mail from spokesman Nadeam Elshami, pointed out Thursday that the legislation gave 282,000 of Minority Whip Eric Cantor’s constituents tax cuts, in addition to providing tax breaks to Republican Reps. Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Scott Garrett of New Jersey and Tom Rooney of Florida.

A Gun to Your Head to Take Obamacare

Reid will back public option if GOP barrier fails

By Bob L.   With out a gun our Enemies could walk right in and take over with out a fight, and today our Enemies are among

A question was brought up what does a gun have to do with this, well lets put it this way, the gun represents what this Administration is doing to the Americans, you take take health care or go to jail,is this the type of health care you want (This is where the gun comes in),  people want affordable health care but they don’t want the Government in it, it would be just like an HMO, there are other ways to get affordable health care (1) stop deregulating every thing because every time they deregulate, companies, they price them selves and others out of business. (2) They dropped antitrust from the insurance companies, but regulated where they can practice, so they don’t have any competition and can charge any thing they want.

Look at it this way if this Country comes under siege what would you do to protect you and your family.

Why the jobs aren’t coming back

The Politico has an interesting story about Toyota up. It seems the company does not much care for this administration.

Internal Toyota documents derided the Obama administration and Democratic Congress as “activist” and “not industry friendly,” a revelation that comes days before the giant automaker’s top executives testify on Capitol Hill amid a giant recall.

It is not, however, just Toyota. Lots of businesses and industries are feeling the same way. In large part, this is why the jobs are not coming back. Businesses are deeply, deeply worried about the activist bent of the Obama administration and the anti-free market stance it has repeatedly taken on issues. The uncertainty and antagonism are causing businesses to keep money on the sidelines.

Last night I talked to a friend of mine. He said a business in his state has put a major new business development on hold because of the Obama Administration’s stance on carbon emissions. The company could move everything to another country and be perfectly happy with less environmental restraints, or it could keep everything in the U.S., comply with existing environmental laws, and create American jobs. But because Obama and the EPA are headed in the direction of even more regulation and expense, the jobs might go overseas.

Right now the Obama administration is excelling at two types of job creation programs: government jobs and jobs overseas away from the American regulatory regime.

Until the White House and its minion signal a willingness to work with businesses and not hurt businesses, the jobs will not come back. Toyota is not alone.

A New Assault on the American Economy

Legislative Lowdown: Continuous Gimmickry

As Americans become increasingly skeptical of government, those in power are looking for new ways to describe the same failing policies that are making them unpopular. Repackaging may work for cereals or Hollywood stars, but informed citizens won’t be fooled by such gimmickry when it comes to government spending, taxes, health care and energy policy.

Big Government Stimulus, Again

Last week, President Obama touted the results of his now $862 billion stimulus. He used the failed program’s one-year anniversary to belittle those who opposed it and, at the same time, call for another round of stimulus spending. Despite numerous signs to the contrary, and increasing public anxiety over our nation’s exploding debt, the president and his allies in Congress want to keep spending until they get it right.

Fuel Taxes Must Rise, Harvard Researchers Say

By SINDYA N. BHANOO
Thursday, March 4, 2010

To meet the Obama administration’s targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions, some researchers say, Americans may have to experience a sobering reality: gas at $7 a gallon.

To reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the transportation sector 14 percent from 2005 levels by 2020, the cost of driving must simply increase, according to a forthcoming report by researchers at Harvard’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.

The 14 percent target was set in the Environmental Protection Agency’s budget for fiscal 2010.

Obama promise: Focus on getting kids to college

By Bob L.

Obama is still trying to brainwash our kids, if he wants our kids grades to come up, then get the Federal Government out of the school business, sense Bush said no kid left behind and Obama got involved in to the schools education, it has taken a big nose dive, we need the states to control public schools not the Federal Government and not private voucher schools, turn that money back to the public schools not private, it is public property taxes that are suppose to support public schools not private schools.

The way it is now private schools are taking away from public school education and now they want to know why public schools are getting a failing grade, One take the money from the administration and put it back into educating, stop strikes during a school year, if they strike firer them because they are not there to teach they are only there for the money, because there are a lot of people working for a lot less , like minimum wage.

It makes me mad to see people working their ASSES off to have a home to protect their families, and having their property taxes going to private schools and collages not public schools, and not every child in this country is going to be able to afford to go to collage. SO TELL ALL OUR GOVERNMENTS TO GET THEIR HEADOUT OF THEIR ASS and stop spending money that they don’t have, and stop supporting THEIR programs that no one else wants.

Social Security to start cashing Uncle Sam’s IOUs

This is a typical day in our Government offices, that same thing go s for all these yuppies that are brainwashed into believing that Social Security is going broke so they will put their money in stocks so it will help their buddies on wall street, look at the ones that had their retirement money in stocks, look where they are today after 2008, most have to start all over again before they can retire.

This is what I have been saying all along, they have been giving this money out in to people who have never payed into it, and their pet projects, so look where they stand today, and now they are trying to tell you how to educate your kids.

For more than two decades, Social Security collected more money in payroll taxes than it paid out in benefits — billions more each year.

Will the Democrats “Self Execute” on Healthcare Reform?

By Bob L.
Welcome to the NEW United States where the people let the Government become a very corrupt and became DICTATORS, and where they took away the freedoms that Americans once had because the people only listen to people who were only out for their own capital gain, just like this CAP & TAX.

You have these yuppies who went to collage who were brain washed, and now they think that they know it all and most of them no nothing of street smarts or what makes this country great, all they care is how much money will they make, just like one student that they talked to said that if they set a standard on what a doctor could make then she was wasting her time to become a doctor, now does it not sound like that is all today’s society cares about, and not to keep this Country free from a DICTATOR Country, well I have news for you it is days away from it right now if you let this Government pass a very COSTLY bill with out even voting on it, or fining you $500.00 dollars if you don’t fill out your census and sending it in, does this sound like a free Country.

Another thing I don’t like about this census is a question asking, is your race, I am my self white, but I see it this way, when you ask that question I see it as racist, because they are grouping people by race and not as a U.S. citizen, because then they are saying that not all people are created equal, and I believe in the CONSTITUTION.

My Healthcare Plan

By Ann Coulter
03/17/2010

Liberals keep complaining that Republicans don’t have a plan for reforming health care in America. I have a plan!

It’s a one-page bill creating a free market in health insurance. Let’s all pause here for a moment so liberals can Google the term “free market.”

Nearly every problem with health care in this country — apart from trial lawyers and out-of-date magazines in doctors’ waiting rooms — would be solved by my plan.

In the first sentence, Congress will amend the McCarran-Ferguson Act to allow interstate competition in health insurance.

We can’t have a free market in health insurance until Congress eliminates the antitrust exemption protecting health insurance companies from competition. If Democrats really wanted to punish insurance companies, which they manifestly do not, they’d make insurers compete.

Raines’ Attack on Fox News Off-Base

By Bob L.

I agree that every one see the news in different ways, but they should be telling the news as it comes, not cover it up because of who it is, a good example, why is it that Fox news is the only one that was telling the news as it came out and not cover it up with sports or some other news, and for the papers they buried it on the back pages, that is not telling the people what is happening in our Government cover ups. this gos even to the local news they were not tell the people what was going on until fox started getting viewers to watch to find out what was going on, then the rest did not want to get left behind, or started to go with the Democrats and saying that fox was lying, well that is just like the election they covered Obama more then they did any one else, does that tell you some thing, they were one sided and did not care who else was running, and that still is going on now on this Obamacare.

Sat Mar 20

WASHINGTON – House Democrats heard it all Saturday — words of inspiration from President Barack Obama and raucous chants of protests from demonstrators. And at times it was flat-out ugly, including some racial epithets aimed at black members of Congress.

Most of the day’s important work leading up to Sunday’s historic vote on health care was being done behind closed doors. Democratic leaders cajoled, bargained and did what they could to nail down the votes they will need to finally push Obama’s health care overhaul bill through the House.

But much else about the day was noisy, emotional and right out in the open. After more than a year debating the capstone of Obama’s domestic agenda and just hours to go before the showdown vote, there was little holding back.

The tone was set outside the Capitol. Clogging the sidewalks and streets of Capitol Hill were at least hundreds — no official estimate was yet available — of loud, furious protesters, many of them tea party opponents of the health care overhaul.

Rallies outside the Capitol are typically orderly, with speeches and well-behaved crowds. Saturday’s was different, with anger-fueled demonstrators surrounding members of Congress who walked by, yelling at them.

“Kill the bill,” the largely middle-aged crowd shouted, surging toward lawmakers who crossed the street between their office buildings and the Capitol.

The motorcade that carried Obama to Capitol Hill to whip up support for the bill drove past crowds waving signs that read “Stop the spending” and “Get your hands out of my pocketbook and health care.” Many booed and thrust their thumbs down as Obama rode by.

As police held demonstrators back to clear areas for lawmakers outside the Capitol Obama’s speech, some protesters jeered and chanted at the officers, “You work for us.”

Rep. Andre Carson, D-Ind., told a reporter that as he left the Cannon House Office Building with Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., a leader of the civil rights era, some among the crowd chanted “the N-word, the N-word, 15 times.” Both Carson and Lewis are black, and Lewis spokeswoman Brenda Jones also said that it occurred.

“It was like going into the time machine with John Lewis,” said Carson, a large former police officer who said he wasn’t frightened but worried about the 70-year-old Lewis, who is twice his age. “He said it reminded him of another time.”

Kristie Greco, spokeswoman for Democratic Whip Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., said a protester spit on Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., who is black and said police escorted the lawmakers into the Capitol. Cleaver’s office said he would decline to press charges, but Sgt. Kimberly Schneider of the U.S. Capitol Police said in an e-mail later: “We did not make any arrests today.”

Clyburn, who led fellow black students in integrating South Carolina’s public facilities a half century ago, called the behavior “absolutely shocking.”

“I heard people saying things today that I have not heard since March 15, 1960, when I was marching to try to get off the back of the bus,” Clyburn told reporters.

Inside House office buildings, protesters made their views known by visiting lawmakers’ offices and chanting at legislators walking by.

Among the demonstrators was Delane Stewart, 65, of Cookeville, Tenn., who had come with her husband, Jesse.

“You know what’s coming next if this happens?” she said, referring to the health bill’s passage. “They’re going to come after gun control.”

Retired businessman Randy Simpson, 67, of Seneca, S.C., also said the health bill was just a first step.

“My concerns are about the health care bill, and the direction it takes us is toward communism, quite frankly,” he said.

At a daylong meeting of the House Rules Committee, members of both parties squeezed into a tiny hearing room traded accusations in a session that was often a shouting match.

“You all in the minority know what the American people think,” Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., said loudly and mockingly at Republicans repeatedly saying the public overwhelmingly opposes Obama’s health care bill.

Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, said a tricky voting procedure Democrats had been contemplating “corrupts and prostitutes the system” and would “unleash a cultural war in this country.”

Obama’s Capitol Hill visit was the day’s emotional peak for House Democrats as he sought to energize them to finally approve the legislation.

He conceded that it could be tough for some to vote for the bill, but predicted it would end up being politically smart because once it becomes law people will realize they like its provisions like curbs on insurance companies.

“It is in your hands,” the president said in what Clyburn later called the best speech he’d ever heard Obama make. “It is time to pass health care reform for America, and I am confident that you are going to do it tomorrow.”

WASHINGTON – Rarely does the government, that big, clumsy, poorly regarded oaf, pull off anything short of war that touches all lives with one act, one stroke of a president’s pen. Such a moment now seems near.

After a year of riotous argument, decades of failure and a century of spoiled hopes, the United States is reaching for a system of medical care that extends coverage nearly to all citizens. The change that’s coming, if Sunday’s tussle in the House goes President Barack Obama’s way, would reshape a sixth of the economy and shatter the status quo.

To the ardent liberal, Obama’s health care plan is a shadow of what should have been, sapped by dispiriting downsizing and trade-offs.

To the loud foe on the right, it is a dreadful expansion of the nanny state.

13 attorneys general sue over health care overhaul

By Bob L.

All you Communists morons that had to have this health care, who do you think is going to pay for your health care when the states gos broke, you people are so stupid you can’t see past your greed. When it all comes down to it all do you really think it is not going to be an HMO administered by NON Doctors who will do what ever the Government tells them to do. YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR IT IN THE END WITH DEATH. Those who refuse will face tax penalties

Who do you think is the responsible people the first place, you don’t have to look to far, they are the ones who just shoved it up you ASS, yes your ASS, and if you can’t see that it is the rich that lobbied so they could get away with it.

Social Security love if you don’t pay in to it!

A comment made by hoboparty.com has been going on for many years, but some did what they were suppose to left it alone, then there were some who saw it a bank account for foreign charity and for their pork jobs, and we can not for get, they also pay it to people who have never payed one dime in to it.

Back Post on march 14: Social Security to start cashing Uncle Sam’s IOUs

( comment ) We’re supposed to keep working until we drop dead. That is the new government solution to funding social security money “borrowed” from the depositors. Seems the congressional hollering about not investing our money in wild schemes with social security money was a lie. They didn’t want anyone to see that congress already used every dollar of our retirement money themselves!

But if you really want the truth it is about controlling the American people, if you don’t think so look at the food they are pushing, or what you can eat, and what you are going to cook your food in, if that is not taking control, then what do call it.

Liberal columnist Frank Rich argues that the Tea Party’s anger stems from “losing their country” to minorities — and has little to do with health care reform. Is he right?

THE WEEK Publications,

March 29, 2010

The furious conservative backlash against health care reform has little to do with health care, says New York Times columnist Frank Rich. The “unglued firestorm of homicidal rhetoric” — and worse — is a reaction by the “virtually all white” Tea Party to an ever-less-white America. The grassroots activists would have been angry at any major law our “black president and a female speaker of the House” enacted, Rich argues. Is he right — or is he misplaying the race card?

Silence! Dems Trying to Bully Employers on ObamaCare’s Job-Killing Impact

Ohio’s 8th Congressional District Blog

Posted by Press Office on March 30, 2010

Washington Democrats want the nation’s employers to think twice about alerting their workers, customers, shareholders, and the public at large to the financial impact of President Obama’s new health care law, whether it’s AT&T ($1 billion), Deere & Co. ($150 million), Caterpillar ($100 million), 3M ($90 million), AK Steel ($31 milllion), and Valero Energy (up to $20 million.)

The White House blog has been used to question the credibility of these statements. A Cabinet secretary called these public disclosures “irresponsible.” House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-CA) wants to hold hearings and issue subpoenas. These scare tactics are not surprising. Last fall, the Obama Administration issued a gag order designed to keep seniors in the dark about ObamaCare’s massive Medicare cuts.

America’s workers have a right to know how this new law will affect them. As do the millions of retirees who may lose their drug benefits. As do the customers who may have to pay higher prices to cover these losses. As do the small businesses who rely on these companies for telecommunications (AT&T), office supplies (3M), gasoline (Valero), and equipment (Caterpillar, John Deere)? These are the very valid questions House Republicans are discussing with their constituents this week while Democrats are attacking companies having a hard enough time trying to survive this recession without Washington getting in the way.

SUPREME COURT NOTEBOOK: Looking abroad for tips

By Bob L.
April 1, 2010

Is this another move to turn the United States over to Foreign control, it is time to tell them that this Country is this Country and to plant their asses right there where they belong and keep their noses buried in the U.S. Constitution and no where else, and if they don’t know their jobs then it is time to get ridge of them. Our place is not in foreign courts or laws.

This is the United States and the law of the United States is the U.S. Constitution, this Constitution was drawn up because they did not want this Country to fall under the same control as what they left.

And I say it again IF YOU CAN’T DO THE JOB THEN GET OUT and let some one who knows the job.

WASHINGTON – The debate over whether the Supreme Court should look to foreign law when interpreting the Constitution is ultimately irrelevant because justices can read whatever they want when they are formulating their opinions, Justice Stephen Breyer said Wednesday.

Breyer said there are those who complain about the high court potentially looking at what other countries do when they are resolving cases involving U.S. law.

“I say that’s a wonderful political debate. It’s good, but it’s pretty irrelevant because when I do read things, I can read what I want,” Breyer said.

Nearly half of US households escape fed income tax

By Bob L.
Thur. April 8, 2010

This all sounds good on paper but the real truth is there is other taxes that they don’t talk about, I all way laughed when they say how much you take home, but they fail to admit that there are more taxes that the low income people are paying, like state, and city, and in some cases County taxes.

You see the Federal Government never takes into account what people pay in taxes there, they talk about it but never figure in how much of a tax load the American people really carry, they only think how much they can take from you to pay for their pet projects, so the low income people don’t get away from paying taxes.

Recession, new tax credits have nearly half of US households paying no federal income tax

Stephen Ohlemacher, Associated Press Writer
Wednesday April 7, 2010

WASHINGTON (AP) — Tax Day is a dreaded deadline for millions, but for nearly half of U.S. households it’s simply somebody else’s problem.

About 47 percent will pay no federal income taxes at all for 2009. Either their incomes were too low, or they qualified for enough credits, deductions and exemptions to eliminate their liability. That’s according to projections by the Tax Policy Center, a Washington research organization.

Most people still are required to file returns by the April 15 deadline. The penalty for skipping it is limited to the amount of taxes owed, but it’s still almost always better to file: That’s the only way to get a refund of all the income taxes withheld by employers.

Vulnerable Democrats are tiptoeing on health care

By KRISTEN WYATT, Associated Press Writer
Thu Apr 8

FORT COLLINS, Colo. – First-term Rep. Betsy Markey is convinced that once people learn what’s in President Barack Obama’s new health care overhaul law, they’ll support it.

But it’s not a message she was eager to carry in person to her constituents in Republican-leaning eastern Colorado. During Congress’ two-week Easter break, she reserved any discussion of health care reform for conference calls, an op-ed piece and an appearance at a small-town Rotary Club — all small-bore outreach.

After the raucous, angry town halls of last summer, Markey steered clear of massive gatherings.

She was not alone. Tough votes for Obama’s health care plan have further complicated the re-election prospects of dozens of already vulnerable freshman and second-term Democrats. There’s even a chance the party could lose control of one or both houses in the midterm elections.

Obama election-year jobs agenda stalls in Congress

By Bob L.
April 11, 2010

What are the Democrats doing, trying to make the American people think that they got smart, well I for one do not think that they are, it just  looks like they are just thinking that this will save their ass with the American people. If any one believes this, then they are just as dumb as the Democrats, they didn’t think any thing about how much it cost the tax payers on health care, or about making them criminals (will this law be a misdemeanor or a felony) if you  don’t buy health insurance,  so what makes you think that they care about saving the tax payer money now, this is nothing but trying to save their ass (or their jobs).

Here is a good question, has the Government said how much it will cost the American people, or what is in this Health bill that they have rewritten sense it was passed in to law, or should I say who now has to take this or what got put back in to this health bill.

I was under the impression that when the bill was passed it was the law and could not be tampered with unless it went back to the house and the senate where the whole process started all over again, and the other bill was null and void until a new bill could be drawn up, other words the law could not be enforceable. Now you have this jobs bill.

I don’t know about you but I think there are a lot of  laws broken in Washington D.C. in the last TEN YEARS, and why aren’t these law being enforced, or is this where the corruption starts?

We have the FBI, Attorney Generals who are suppose to be the best at enforcing the laws, so why is it when Government breaks the law they look the other way.

Texas high school’s ultra-pricey stadium

By Bob L. I have [inserted] comments through out this article, Pricey Stadium.
Thur. April 15, 2010

I have all way been against spending more money on NON Educational programs, but it seams that these school districts would rather sink the tax payers money into Black holes that do nothing for Education, they say we have to pay for the best Teachers, well they are not getting what they are paying for, if they were then Education would not be in the condition it is in today. Or could it be that the teachers are sending the children home with home work that should have been taught in class, where if a child had a problem they could have asked the teacher for help, but no they want the child to ask their parents who don’t have time for their kids or their Education.

They want to know why student drop out of school, why don’t they ask the student not some one who thinks they know why, my opinion as a past student, is when you teach the same thing from the Sixth grade to the twelfth grade over and over until you get tired of it, there is know chance to prepare for a future in the work force, not all are going to collage, and now the Government is chasing jobs out of this Country, so what is collage going to teach that will open up jobs for every one coming out after graduating,  there is not enough job for the ones graduating now.

1. Manufacturing all most gone.
2. Communication all computerized.
3. Computer jobs over taught.
   
4. Lawyers every corner.
5. Doctors NO GP s all specialist.

Now what is left, that is the big SIXTY FOUR thousand dollar question, ask the Government.

Economic indicators in these metros have gone from bad to worse, with no sign of recovery.

Miami boasts a popular South Beach club scene, Art Deco Architecture, and perhaps the best Cuban food in the country. But residents don’t have much else to celebrate.

More than three years after the economy started its downward slide, the Miami metro area, like a handful of Sun Belt cities, still hasn’t begun to recover. Median home prices in Miami have fallen 38% since its market peaked in the second quarter of 2007; the city’s 11% unemployment rate is above the national average and has grown more than most of the 40 cities we surveyed.

Cities in the “Sand States” of Florida, California, Arizona and Nevada, where overbuilding was rampant, are also in trouble, claiming nine of the top 10 spots in our list of cities in free fall. In Las Vegas, Riverside, Calif., and Phoenix, median home prices have fallen 50%, 44% and 37% from their respective peaks. Jobs are vanishing. Though country-wide, employers added 162,00 jobs last month, Riverside gained 13% fewer jobs in February 2010 (the latest numbers available by metro) than it did the same month three years earlier. Tampa, Fla., saw a 10% drop, and Los Angeles added 9% fewer jobs over the same time period.

What is the next thing they are going to blame climate change on, shitting your pants, passing gas, burping, they are blaming animals, well maybe we should go back in time before any one was here during the ice, who do you blame for the disappearance of the ice age, or all these earth quakes that have been from day one, shall we blame all these chicken little’s who were born after the ICE AGE for all earths problems. I know we should blame the schools for not teaching the difference between natural occurrences from a scam.

People did you not learn any thing in science in school, OH I forgot, you are an over educated collage idiot, or you were a school drop out, this is not the problem, it is just that there are to many followers and not enough leaders who can think for them selves, they only follow every SHIT PEDDLERS (BETTER KNOWN AS A SCAMMER) that comes along.

OSLO (Reuters) – A thaw of Iceland’s ice caps in coming decades caused by climate change may trigger more volcanic eruptions by removing a vast weight and freeing magma from deep below ground, scientists said on Friday.

They said there was no sign that the current eruption from below the Eyjafjallajokull glacier that has paralysed flights over northern Europe was linked to global warming. The glacier is too small and light to affect local geology.

“Our work suggests that eventually there will be either somewhat larger eruptions or more frequent eruptions in Iceland in coming decades,” said Freysteinn Sigmundsson, a vulcanologist at the University of Iceland.

GM pays back government loans from US, Canada

By TOM KRISHER, AP Auto Writer
Wed. April 21

DETROIT – General Motors Co. has repaid the $8.1 billion in loans it got from the U.S. and Canadian governments, a move its CEO says is a sign automaker is on the road to recovery.

GM CEO Whitacre will formally announce the loan paybacks Wednesday at the company’s Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas, where he will also announce that GM is investing $257 million in that factory and the Detroit-Hamtramck plant, both of which will build the next generation of the midsize Chevrolet Malibu.

GM got a total of $52 billion from the U.S. government and $9.5 billion from the Canadian and Ontario governments as it went through bankruptcy protection last year. The U.S. considered as a loan $6.7 billion of the aid, while the Canadian governments held $1.4 billion in loans.

The U.S. government payments, made Tuesday, came five years ahead of schedule, and Whitacre said they are a sign that the automaker is on its way toward reducing government ownership of the company. The payments on the Canadian loans were also made Tuesday.

Will tough love fix Greece’s economic woes?

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER and JEANNINE AVERSA, AP Economics Writers
Sat. April 24

WASHINGTON – Global finance officials are sending Greece a tough love message: Move ahead on economic reforms and we’ll come to the rescue with an emergency loan package.

The rapidly escalating Greek debt crisis was expected to dominate discussions at Saturday’s gathering of the 186-nation International Monetary Fund and its sister lending agency, the World Bank.

Greek Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou was scheduled to have a separate meetings with IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and finance officials from Russia and Brazil.

Crippled by soaring borrowing costs, Greece triggered an emergency aid plan Friday to draw cash from the IMF and countries that use the euro.

There’s enough money in the package to prevent Greece from defaulting on its massive debts. Eurozone members will contribute $40 billion, while the IMF will pony up $13.4 billion this year.

What’s Wrong With Racial Profiling Anyway?

By A.W.R. Hawkins
05/06/2010

On April 23, Republican Gov. Jan Brewer signed an immigration bill that outlaws illegal immigration in Arizona. The bill’s passage allows state law enforcement personnel to arrest and deport illegal immigrants instead of continuing the practice of capturing them, then helplessly watching federal agencies drop the ball on deportation.

Because this law should bring a new level of scrutiny and profiling to bear on Mexicans who have crossed the border illegally, Democrats, “human rights activists,” Hispanic PACs, and the Rev. Al Sharpton are all shouting “racism” from the rooftops. Sharpton, in particular, is promoting a boycott of Arizona and is promising to take his posse there to demonstrate in the streets.

Even Fox News’ Shepherd Smith sarcastically referred to the new legislation the “driving while Latino” law.

But the fundamental question none of these groups or individuals appear willing to ask is: “What’s wrong with racial profiling anyway?” It is, after all, a valuable tool in solving cases for law enforcement.

When law enforcement officials are looking for a serial killer, they don’t bother talking to very many females. Nor do they question many blacks, Hispanics, or Middle-Easterners. Why? Because doing so would be an absolute waste of time: They know the overwhelming odds are that the killer is going to be a male who is white, and who either lives alone or lives with his mom. So they look for men who fit that profile rather than wasting their time investigating those who don’t fit the profile.

It’s Because They Want To Kill Us, Stupid

Wednesday, May 5th

The night the NYC car bomb attempt went down, I was so grateful that, once again, the diligence of the public and the swift action of the NYC Police thwarted yet another potential attack. Shortly thereafter, while still incredibly grateful obviously, I became angry. I’ve had it. Firstly, because the current strategy of homeland security seems to be “Hey, guys, we’ve totally unclenched our fists. We can haz cookie now?” Secondly, because the left and their media lackeys are not only dangerously naive, but also purposefully misleading.

They are so deeply invested in both political correctness and in their violent, racist “tea baggers” meme, it clouds all else. Even common sense and the security of our country. It was swiftly apparent that they were *wishing* that the failed bomber was a tea partier, so that they could further their lame narrative and continue to try to excuse Obama and his administration for their failures and utter incompetence. Gee, Obama, how is that “unclenching of fists” deal working out for you?

That night, Attorney General Holder said “It’s important that American people remain vigilant.” Sadly, it’s quite clear that the administration and many on the left refuse to do the same; unless it’s remaining vigilant in their pursuit of demagoguing Republicans. It’s gotten to the point where I was honestly waiting for the release of a statement from Obama, consisting of a sternly worded apology and claims that he inherited the bomber, Faisal Shahzad, from Bush.

Bloomberg started the insane blame the Republicans at all costs narrative off with a bang. When asked by the elfin Katie Couric for a guess as to who the bomber could be, Bloomberg offered this:

The FCC grabs power unlawfully to appease a fringe movement

Posted by Neil Stevens
Wednesday, May 5th

I’ve been ill but please bear with me. Today brought some huge news for anyone who conducts business or pleasure on the Internet: The FCC has announced its plans to deem and pass Net Neutrality. Specifically, The FCC will defy a court order to stop regulating the Internet by nonsensically deeming the Internet not to be an information service, and regulate it under Title II of the Communications Act.

That sounds mild but it has disastrous consequences.

Title II of the Communications Act gives the FCC strong and broad powers. If the FCC is allowed to put the Internet in the US under those powers, then the Obama administration will have total power to tax Internet users, regulate content on Internet servers, and even institute price controls on Internet services. Does this sound like it has anything to do with “restoring” anything? I don’t think so.

The fact is, the idea that this “Net Neutrality” plan is anything but a power grab was always a lie being pushed by a couple of sources. The first is Google, which has had ties with the administration from Eric Schmidt himself advising Barack Obama, to Andrew McLaughlin who’s been lobbying for Google from his job as Deputy White House CTO. Google stands to benefit when the FCC passes regulations which favor Internet firms like Google over ISPs.

Part of Google’s drive has been in funding Free Press, a radical fringe group dedicated to the nationalization of all mass media in America. Their neo-Marxist vision is to have people’s state commissars dictating all the news you read in the newspaper, watch on television, and see on the Internet. Obviously, they’ve been pushing hard for deem-and-pass “reclassification” of the Internet under FCC total control

However they’re gradually letting slip how much of a fringe group they really are, despite their “Save the Internet” front group having a long list of names. They can’t even decide how many supporters they want to lie and say they have! Is it 1.7 million, or is it 1.6 million? Oops, maybe it’s just 1.0 million. But now the radically pro-Net Neutrality Cecilia Kang, who runs with stories clearly pushed by Google and Free Press without fact checking them first as seen in the updates, claims Free Press is nowhere near a million, and sits at only half that.

Should the tens of millions of Americans on the Internet, we who make a living or keep in touch with friends and family, have our fate determined by a small band of fringe neo-Marxist radicals, or self-seeking lobbyists at Google? I say no. This matter should be decided in the Congress, where the power is legitimately held to tell the FCC what it can and can’t regulate. And problems people have with their ISPs should be handled in the state legislatures, who have oversight of the local franchise monopolies that govern most cable and DSL Internet in America.

Hands off our Internet, FCC. End the power grab now.

The Gulf Oil Spill is Barack Obama’s Katrina and Halliburton All Rolled Into One

There was the delayed response. There was the worrying about the image. There was the lack of resources. No, I’m not talking about Hurricane Katrina, but the Obama Administration’s handling of the British Petroleum oil spill.

But it gets better. It is not only like Bush’s Katrina, but like Halliburton too.

Turns out Barack Obama has gotten more money from British Petroleum than any other American politician. Not just that, but BP spent $15.9 million lobbying the Democrats and Obama last year.

The result of all that money to Obama? The Obama Administration exempted British Petroleum from an environmental drilling study.

Oh, and while the oil was spreading, the Interior Department Chief of Staff was white-water rafting on the Grand Canyon as part of a “work-focused” trip.

That’s like Obama’s Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, who stayed on a ski vacation post-Christmas instead of returning to deal with the panty-bomber.

These guys remain amateurs. They run a good campaign, but they can’t govern to save our lives.

Just when we thought the socialism accusations against the Obama administration were subsiding, the president himself reignited the debate. Speaking in Illinois about his vision to reform Wall Street excess, Obama put forth: “I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money. But part of the American way is you can just keep on making it if you’re providing a good product or … service.”

The tone of the “enough money” comment is interesting because it reflects a core liberal belief: Affluence should be controlled by the federal government primarily through high taxation of the wealthy. Certainly, Barack Obama has embraced that philosophy. He freely admits he supports the redistribution of income in America — that is, taking assets from the rich and recycling them to the not-so-rich through entitlements, such as subsidized health care.

An Immigrant Defends Arizona’s New Law

By Bob L.

Legal immigrants have no reason to fear the new law — but the illegal ones do.

In the hue and cry over Arizona’s tough new immigration law, there is a noticeable paucity of voices from people who are the exact opposite of illegal aliens. That is, legal immigrants—people who respected America’s laws in coming here. Therefore, as a legal immigrant and naturalized American, I must point out the fallacies promoted by opponents of the law.

Predictably, liberals charge that this law is racist and that it legalizes profiling. Yet the law says nothing of the sort. In fact, it clearly specifies that a law enforcement official “may not consider race, color or national origin.”

In today’s political discourse, you are not deemed qualified to speak about issues such as profiling unless you are a racial minority. Therefore, as much as it violates my conservative instinct for a colorblind argument, I reluctantly mention that I happen to be a brown-skinned immigrant with an accent. In other words, if profiling was a phenomenon that is as rabidly rampant in America as liberals allege, then I would be among those who are routinely profiled and regularly questioned by police.

I have lived in America for nearly 30 years and have driven in at least 25 states—and have never had a cop stop me for a frivolous reason. The few times that I have been stopped, I was at fault—mostly for (unwittingly) exceeding the speed limit.

Why Are We Admitting Foreign Workers When Americans Are Out of Work?

By Ian de Silva
02/02/2010

The fact that the State Department had issued a visa to the Nigerian “underwear bomber” may indicate how careless our visa process is, but to see how utterly oblivious to reality our immigration policy is, you need only to look at the numbers of visas issued to foreign workers just last year.

We are in the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression. Over 15 million Americans are out of work. You would think any sensible government would put a moratorium on all work visas until the crisis was over. But our government thinks that foreigners have a right to come here no matter what. Why else would our government issue over 450,000 visas to foreign workers in 2009?

Yes, over 450,000 foreigners were issued work visas last year — while over 15 million Americans were looking for work. Millions of Americans are taking any job they can find — if they can find anything at all. But our immigration policy would rather appease foreign interests than appeal to the needs of Americans.

Lest I am perceived as a nativist or xenophobe, I must point out that I am a naturalized American. But it would be dishonest of me to think, merely because I am an immigrant, that I should refrain from pointing out the truth about our immigration policy.

Let us take a closer look at the numbers. The first work visa category of interest is the H visa, generally used by foreign engineers, computer programmers, technical managers, etc. It is supposed to be a temporary visa, but it actually allows the bearer to work here for as long as six years. In 2009, over 278,000 people were admitted on that visa, 60,000 of whom were spouses and children of the workers.

How Dare Arizonans Try To Protect Themselves?

by  David Limbaugh

05/08/2010

Isn’t it interesting that the people yelling the loudest about the imminent racial profiling that will occur under the new Arizona law are the very ones who are profiling the tea party protestors as domestic terrorists?

These egghead elitists stereotyping the protestors don’t have a clue what makes people tick or, apparently, what infuriates increasing numbers of Americans about a federal government that is at war with their freedoms and their pocketbooks.

Instead of examining their actual bigotry, let’s examine their false claims about the alleged bigotry of Arizonans and the state’s lawmakers. On this issue, thanks to the administration and its leftist media propaganda machine, too much misinformation is passing as fact on this issue.

Arizonans didn’t just gratuitously pass a bill to harass illegal immigrants. They are tired of the hundreds of violent crimes being committed by illegal aliens, with Phoenix being North America’s kidnapping capital and primary location of human smuggling. An Arizonan rancher was recently murdered on his own property by an alleged illegal alien, and three Phoenix police officers have been shot by illegal aliens since 1999.

But Arizonans didn’t go out and form lynching parties. They consulted with legal experts and crafted a sophisticated, thoughtful piece of legislation designed to crack down on illegal immigration in their state. I know the idea of states’ rights is a bit passe today, but some still take it seriously, as they do the right to defend themselves and their properties.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., recently announced that Congress will not pass a budget resolution this year. That hasn’t happened since Congress adopted the landmark Budget Control and Impoundment Act of 1974, which among much else was supposed to streamline and rationalize the federal

America Following Greece to Economic Ruin?

Mon. May 24

This can’t be true, Obama and the Democrats said that this will turn every thing around and we will be seeing job and businesses will be growing fast, well the only jobs that they produced were Government (no product to sell) Wall street ( big bonuses, still no product to sell), so how can you repay on the deficit if there is no money to be circulated to bring down the deficit.

Obama: Nation not Defined by Our Borders

DO YOU AGREE, IF SO LETS ENFORCE IT: [ "In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith, becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American... There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language ... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."—Theodore Roosevelt, 1907]

Another Tax Increase, Another Job Killer

This tax hike will take the form of changes to partnership earnings called “carried interest.”

Already under increasing fire for his handling of an oil spill that many experts now say will be the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history, President Barack Obama is riling conservatives and veterans with his decision to skip the traditional Memorial Day ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery.

Instead, he will vacation in Chicago.

They don’t get to decide which laws they like and which ones they don’t.

Obama’s ‘Chicago Way’ Plunders the Private Sector

By Michael Barone
06/03/2010

An interesting thing about Barack Obama is that he chose, on two occasions, to live in Chicago — even though he didn’t grow up there, had no family ties there, never went to school there.

It was a curious choice. Chicago has a civic culture all its own and one that is particularly insular. Family ties and personal connections are hugely important. Professionals who have lived and worked there for a quarter-century are brusquely reminded, “You’re not from here.”

US employment report sparks global recovery fears

Sun. June 6

Any one who believes the crap that Obama and the Democrats are shoveling, are in it just as much as they are, and need to buy some hip boots.

The real truth is that this country is on the verge of another crash, but they don’t want to admit it because then they would end up with egg on their face and show that they are not qualified to run this
Country, and every time they open their mouth it shows how much they have brought this Country down thinking that they can run every thing.

At this point the Government thinks they own this Country, when if you have not noticed, the Government is the problem in this Country and all our problems, the Government is suppose to enforce the laws of the land, and not make laws for their benefit and big Business.

WASHINGTON (AFP) – A weaker-than-expected report on US job creation has shown employers are still reluctant to hire new workers, and has heightened fears of a faltering economic recovery.

True Veterans Not Phonies

Wed. June 9, 2010

Tuesday I watched a good program on Public TV and was I impressed with this group they had on as a special, there were four people on there saying they were Veterans who got together, I thought Yaaa right, well after seeing people who miss represent them selves so you will buy their product just to profit, you get to be skeptical, well after watching I was wrong, see for your self, they call them selves 4 Troops, and for what they are doing I do believe they have their heart where it belongs, helping VETERANS.

Today you see so many say that they are veterans, but you check into their back grounds and a lot of them never left the U.S. because of a gold spoon, and then you have some that could not get in but did a lot for our troops, so they could be called a veteran even though they were not on the front lines, but what they did you could say they were on the front lines here at home.

Now you have Veterans that were not on the front lines but were just as much in harms way as if they were on the front lines.

Don’t for get here at home we have others that all so risk their lives every day, SO when it come to these HOLIDAYS don’t for get to honor POLICE and FIRE PERSONAL along with our MILITARY PERSONAL from all branches of military who fight for FREEDOM.

IT IS TIME to put and end to this ADMINISTRATION and CHARGE every one of them with TREASON: (1. the offense of acting to overthrow one’s government or to harm or kill its sovereign.

2. a violation of allegiance to one’s sovereign or to one’s state.

3. the betrayal of a trust or confidence; breach of faith; treachery.)

under this definition, this ADMINISTRATION , has done every thing they can do to destroy this Country, and its ECONOMY by any means they can, and has not stopped no matter what the American people say, and they continually take our problems to foreign Countries instead of solving our problems here.

The way I feel is that for every LEGAL, YES LEGAL UNITED STATES CITIZEN who loses their JOB, LIFE, or is injured BY an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT, HAS the RIGHT to SUE the Federal Government, AND any person who SIGNS or BACKS them for not enforcing U.S. LAWS of this country.

It is time to set a limit of no more then SIX years on the Congress, and the Senate, and they must follow the Same Rules as the rest of the American people on retirement, 65 if born before 1952, and 70 after 1952, WHAT is set for the American worker, also gos for all Government Employees from the top to the bottom (no exceptions) whose wages come from the American TAX PAYER.

Why Obama Can’t Plug That Damn Hole

By Fortune Dale
07/04/2010

He’s in charge. Yup, our fearless leader and his minions of public-sector organizers who have the job of cleaning up the massive mess in the gulf. An administration built on people that Ayn Rand would call second-handers.

Individuals who have risen to power based on the ability to bring people together for the sole reason of bringing people together. These are people who feed off the success of others. They use any means necessary to give you “Hope” but they can’t “Change” a thing.

President Obama cannot plug the hole or clean up the spill or administer reparations to those who have lost work because he has never been in charge of anything that required results.

Obama cares more about Africa and the rest of the foreign Countries then he does about this Country, the only thing he wants out of this Country is all the money he can get out of the working people, look how he helps the rich by pushing for CAP & TAX, or is tax & tax until there is no more money to be had.

The Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) is providing $160 million to the state of Pennsylvania to set up a new high-risk insurance pool program that pays for abortions, as part of a larger $5 billion commitment of taxpayer funds that will include abortion coverage for over 400,000 people nationwide.

“This is the boldest admission yet from the Obama administration that the President’s Executive Order on taxpayer-funded abortion was a sham.  The fact that the high-risk pool insurance program in Pennsylvania will use federal taxpayer dollars to fund abortions is unconscionable,” said House Republican leader John Boehner.

Identifying Mideast Terrorism’s True Cause

By James Zumwalt
07/20/2010

As we face the most dangerous time in our history, there is something President Obama refuses to say about the threat confronting us.

So, too, does the person he selected to head the federal agency charged with responsibility for protecting our homeland—as does the person he selected as his national security adviser on counter-terrorism. The person he selected as our chief law-enforcement officer remains the most adamant about not saying it.

Meanwhile, a person with indisputable credentials as to the cause of Mideast terrorism and the threat it poses to our way of life risks his to tell America what our leaders will not.

What’s the Difference??????

What is the difference (in the U.S.) between all the Government agencies, the Financial Institutions, and business???

NOTHING, the money is still green to them, and they are still cutting it while the America working is trying to catch the clippings, but the  U.S. Governments are burning the clippings before they hit the Ground, (better known as paying it to the rich first.)

What is the Difference between Obama, Democrats, and Obamacare???

NOTHING, they never read it, so they don’t know much it will cost, or what is in it. (That is because they are exempt from it and don’t care how much it will cost.)

What is the differance between Obama and Bush???

NOTHING Bush started the collapse and Obama is finishing it. (It actually started with Clinton, but Bush started the spending.)

What is the Difference between the democrats and the Republicans???

NOTHING, they cheat, lie, and don’t pay their taxes. and don’t go to jail when they break the LAW.

Cleveland Housing Judge Raymond Pianka requiring negligent property owners to pay victim restitution to neighbors

Sandra Livingston, The Plain Dealer
Monday, August 02, 2010

Cleveland Housing Court Judge Raymond Pianka is ratcheting up the costs for absentee owners who spread the damage from the foreclosure crisis. They will have to pay neighbors for economic losses caused by their neglect.

Pianka plans to hold his first restitution hearings on the issue later this month.

The move comes as Cleveland’s lone housing judge contends with the fallout from the foreclosure mess.

A troubling number of homes have become vacant, neglected commodities bought and sold — often by out-of-state companies — for dirt-cheap prices and left to languish. That can undermine safety and nearby property values.

“What is happening there is certainly at the forefront of initiatives seeking to impose liability upon the owners of substandard properties

Why do I believe that? His economic policies are drowning our economy, leaving many Americans unemployed or underemployed, and he knows it.

Why Not Start Lying off Federal Employees

By Bob L.

States, Cities, Counties LYING OFF, WHY?

Is that because the Federal Government is spending all the money and putting Americans out of work so they don’t have a tax base left to keep these local Governments running.

Why are they not lying off Federal Employees, if you read the Article below and see how many more Federal Employees are going to be hired just for Obamacare. Maybe Obama thinks that if he can get state Government Employment down then he will have more control over how the states will be run and put Federal agencies in charge of running the states (or no more state control).

Insert from article [ Within just a couple years, the law creates an astonishing 159 new boards and commissions. Among them? An Elder Justice Coordinating Council, an Office of Indian Men’s Health, and a Pregnancy Assistance Fund. There’s also a Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, the Private Purchasing Council, and the Medicaid Emergency Psychiatric Demonstration Project. The list goes on and on.]

Repealing Obamacare: Politically Feasible, Morally Urgent

By Sally C. Pipes
08/09/2010

Missourians took a bold stand last Tuesday against Obamacare. Fully 71% of voters supported a ballot measure forbidding the government from requiring state residents to have health insurance. This so-called “individual mandate” is a crucial component of the new federal health law.

The Show-Me State’s vote comes on the heels of a federal judge’s decision to allow a Virginia lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Obamacare to move forward.

The tide is turning against the President’s health-reform plan. Indeed, a recent Rasmussen poll found that nearly 60% of likely voters favor repealing Obamacare.

Americans can strike the death knell for this unpopular piece of legislation by kicking the Democrats out of Congress this fall and giving President Obama the boot in 2012. The next class of lawmakers must take immediate action to completely repeal Obamacare.

Incremental revisions just won’t do. This 2,400-page law is the biggest entitlement since the Great Society. A wide-ranging program that puts one-sixth of our economy in the hands of politicians and bureaucrats can’t be fixed through a little tinkering. Lawmakers need to scrap the measure in its entirety.

Time is of the essence. Obamacare works like a one-way ratchet. Dismantling the huge new bureaucracies established by the measure will be effectively impossible once they’ve taken root.

Within just a couple years, the law creates an astonishing 159 new boards and commissions. Among them? An Elder Justice Coordinating Council, an Office of Indian Men’s Health, and a Pregnancy Assistance Fund. There’s also a Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, the Private Purchasing Council, and the Medicaid Emergency Psychiatric Demonstration Project. The list goes on and on.

Obamacare even increases the size of agencies not typically associated with health care. About 16,000 new IRS agents will be hired to enforce the individual mandate, file the reams of new paperwork required of small businesses, and collect new taxes.

And what a load of taxes there is. The law in 2012 whacks individuals with incomes above $200,000 and families with incomes above $250,000 with a new 3.8% Medicare tax on “unearned” income from interest, rent, capital gains, and dividends. Next year, Obamacare extracts billions in new tax revenue from drug companies and medical device firms. And it lowers the tax deduction people can take for catastrophic healthcare expenses.

That’s just the start. The law halves the amount of money Americans can put into tax-advantaged Flexible Spending Accounts for routine medical expenses. And folks with Health Savings Accounts are barred from spending the money in their tax-free accounts on over-the-counter medicines—even the sorts of allergy and antacid meds that are many times more expensive by prescription.

Once all these taxes and government agencies are in full force, thousands of government employees will be dependent on the continued expansion of Obamacare for their livelihood. They’ll fight tooth-and-nail against any legislation that compromises their paycheck. If lawmakers don’t eradicate these taxes before they’re fully in place, all those bureaucrats will be here to stay.

Obamacare is also designed to make Americans dependent on government for insurance. The law will require policies to contain a number of gold-plated benefits, like coverage for adult children and mandatory preventive care with no co-pays. These new mandates, of course, will make many existing insurance plans illegal.

As a result, many people will be forced off their existing coverage and will have to sign up through new government-run insurance exchanges. The plans sold on these exchanges will technically be provided by private providers but will be heavily regulated and subsidized. And Lynn Woolsey (D.-Calif.) has introduced an amendment to the Affordable Care Act that would, if passed, put the “public option,” the government insurance plan, back into play. Each state-run insurance exchange, starting in 2014, would have to include this option.

As the cost of insurance rises, Congress will face pressure to raise subsidies. Many Americans will get used to having other taxpayers foot the bill for ever-greater amounts of ever-more generous coverage.

This fall, Republicans will attempt to persuade the American people that they deserve to be put back in power. Exhibit A in their case should be a pledge to immediately repeal Obamacare. Scrapping the health-reform package in its entirety is the only way to prevent Obamacare from doing irreparable damage to the country.

Teachers’ unions plan to rev up recess action to protect Democrats’ majority

Tue. Aug. 10, 2010

I would still like to know why Public jobs are more important then private jobs when private jobs pays TAXES so Public can have jobs.

This Government should be investing in Private jobs before they bail out public jobs, they still don’t under stand that a public job does not produce a product, so what are they trying to sell, maybe what they are trying to sell is that they have a job when every one who makes a product does not.

The most important jobs are the first ones to be cut, and that is PUBLIC SAFETY, then the next

Democrats Pass $26 Billion Bailout

Here we go again, another bail out, who is this bailout for, basically the Teachers Union, it is not for the unemployed looking for a job, it is for people who all ready have a Forty hour or more job, better known as the union, when is this Government going to see that more taxes mean less jobs, and they keep calling for better Education, if this is the Education that is taught in Schools and Colleges, then we will keep falling farther behind other Countries.

It is time for the States to stop KISSING Federal ASS, and start helping the American people, and companies put a stop to the Federal DICTATORS, and get taxes down to where companies can get back to hiring, AND make THEM follow the law of the land that they SWORE to uphold.

House Votes on ‘XXXX’ State Government Union Bailout Today

By Connie Hair
08/10/2010

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) summoned the House of Representatives back to Washington into a special, pro forma session today for Democrats to pass another $26 billion bailout bill.

In such a hurry to put more funding into the hands of their union buddies this Congressional election season, Democrats forgot to name the bill they passed through the Senate.

Reported on the Editors Pick on techie news outlet CNET.com:

It was supposed to be some routine election-year largesse from Democrats: a $26 billion spending measure to aid two of the party’s core constituencies, labor unions, and government workers.

But a watchdog Web site on Sunday evening spotted an unusual feature of the legislation, which the Senate approved by a 61-to-39 vote last week.

It doesn’t actually have a name. Congress’ official Web site calls it the “______Act of____” (PDF). Elsewhere, it’s referred to as the “XXXXXX Act of XXXX.”

Whatever the name, or no name, associated with the legislation, it may be too late to christen the bill properly. The Senate has left town until mid-September, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has called the House of Representatives back into session to vote on the same unidentified legislation.

“Speaker Pelosi is calling the House back to vote on another bailout and another job-killing tax increase — but she didn’t exactly dot the ‘i’s’ and cross the ‘t’s’,” Mike Steel, spokesman for Republican Leader John Boehner told HUMAN EVENTS.  “In fact, the bill was thrown together so fast it doesn’t even have a proper name.”

“For now, it is known by a moniker associated with booze or poison in Looney Tunes cartoons – the ‘XXXX’ Act,” Steel added.

This particular bailout with no name is an additional $10 billion for state government union employees with an additional delayed $16 billion to bailout Medicare for another six months.

Over $400 billion of the original $787 billion in “stimulus” state bailout funds have not yet been spent — likely held back for the purpose of presidential election season union community organizing.

Why would the administration waste all that taxpayer money on Congressional elections?

As many families in America struggle to pay their bills amid a sticky recession and deep unemployment, now at 9.5%, Michelle Obama’s luxe vacation to Spain has sparked out-of-touch outrage that has even the European press crying muy mal.

While the White House spokesman has described her trip with youngest daughter Sasha as private—and the First Lady reportedly paid for her own travel expenses—the European voyage cost taxpayers close to a quarter million dollars in presidential security.

That figure has drawn a fierce public scolding from press types and political watchers here and across the pond who dubbed the Obamas hypocrites for urging belt-tightening

Gore Not Gracious in Defeat

By Bob L.

Who would not be up set if you saw Millions of dollars that were going up in flames in some thing you were pushing for to get more money then you could comprehend, but see this is how you make this type of money no matter how many people get hurt, in this case, it is the people of the United States except the rich who are going to profit from it.

If you want to see who is going to PROFIT, just see who is pushing for it, and will do what ever it takes do to get it pushed down the throats of the American and the Canadian people, and even the world.

These are the people who push for control of WORLD DOMINATION, better known as DICTATORS, because they think they are better then you because they went to College, and what they are telling you they never studied, but THEY went to COLLEGE!!!!

In a somber and seething voice, Gore told callers that, “this battle has not been successful and is pretty much over for this year.” He bitterly denounced the Senate and federal government stating several times, “the U.S. Senate has failed us” and “the federal government has failed us.” Gore even seemed to blame President Obama, emphasizing that “the government

In our system, we don’t leave it up to states like Arizona to catch and then carelessly release illegal immigrants who came from terrorism-sponsor nations. That’s the feds’ job.

This is not the first time Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., has helped out the bank in which her husband is a major investor.

Obama lied, threw Snooki under the bus.

PHOENIX – The federal government has deported more illegal immigrants from the U.S. than ever before, the director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Thursday as part of an effort to push back on the suggestion Washington isn’t doing enough.

“For those who doubt the federal government’s resolve in the enforcement of immigration law, let me say this: We are committed to strong, effective immigration enforcement, and the facts speak for themselves,” ICE Director John Morton said.

He said his agency removed a record 380,000 illegal

High-Profile CEO Exit Packages

This just the tip of the iceberg of why this country has no jobs for the private Citizens, this is just to leave a company, HOW about their monthly pay, or to make it easy, by the year, by any chance do you think that we would have jobs in this country if the wages of Corporate exes. were TWO THIRDS less then what they are today.

Just think if they gave up all this pork they get, companies would not be on the bankruptcy list, and there would be plenty of jobs to go around for every one, but no they have to try to out others, ( better known as staying ahead of the JONES ).

Then if we ban Discrimination, and ban Discrimination claims for all Nationalities ( do your job and you will have a job, you whine and cry or think that they owed you that job, you are gone, NO RECOURSE, if you do your job then you have a job for life ) but you have to be qualified, some companies will train you on the job if you are willing to learn that job, but they will not JUST give it to you.

Companies won’t hire you, if they know that they are going to spend a lot of time in court for firing some one.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 – President Obama’s $787 billion stimulus – has been marketed as a jobs bill, and that’s how it’s been judged. The White House says it has saved or created about 3 million jobs, helping avoid a depression and end a recession. Republicans mock it as a Big Government boondoggle that has failed to prevent rampant unemployment despite a massive expansion of the deficit. Liberals complain that it wasn’t massive enough.

Recession may have pushed US birth rate to new low

Forget the Dow and the GDP. Here’s the latest economic indicator: The U.S. birth rate has fallen to its lowest level in at least a century as many people apparently decided they couldn’t afford more mouths to feed.

The birth rate dropped for the second year in a row since the recession began in 2007. Births fell 2.6 percent last year even as the population grew, numbers released Friday by the National Center for Health Statistics show.

“It’s a good-sized decline for one year. Every month is showing a decline from the year before,” said Stephanie Ventura, the demographer who oversaw the report.

The birth rate, which takes into account changes in the population, fell to 13.5 births for every 1,000 people last year. That’s down from 14.3 in 2007 and way down from 30 in 1909, when it was common for people to have big families.

Your request is being processed… Al Sharpton: Glenn Beck Rally Distorts King’s Dream

By Bob L.
Mon./Aug./30/2010
Here we go again, a racist group turning things around again trying to make it sound racist, and that Martin Luther King Jr, and blacks are the only ones that can talk and demonstrate at the Washington Monument, this is why we have the First Amendment.

(“They have a right to rally. But what they don’t have the right do is distort what Dr. King’s dream was about,” the Rev. Al Sharpton declared Friday.)

Look at who is DISTORTING KINGS DREAM, My opinion is every one who keeps throwing out the race card is a disgrace to KING and his  Speech, and this shows that they don’t care what he said, and they are doing any thing they can to keep RACISM active. If they really wanted to stop RACISM, they would they would try and help solve the problem, NOT stir up the problems like they do at the drop of the hat.

(Sharpton described the demonstration planned for Saturday by Beck and his supporters as an anti-government rally advocating states’ rights. And he said that goes against the message in King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech, in which the civil rights leader appealed to the federal government to ensure equality.)

I don’t think King meant that the Federal Government should have full control of this Country, I take it as he was saying that HE wanted to see all Americans walking Hand in Hand, side by side, and not fighting each other, but I do believe the States should have more control over what they do and say in each State, not the Federal Government.

Today the Federal Government thinks that the States don’t have a say in how they run their state, THIS is called A DICTATOR GOVERNMENT.

WASHINGTON — On the eve of conservative commentator Glenn Beck’s rally at the Lincoln Memorial, a blogger’s assertion that parts of the nation’s capital should be avoided touched off accusations of racism and a sharp response by angry city leaders.

Thousands of tea party supporters were expected at the demonstration Saturday that Beck has called a “Restoring Honor” rally to show support of the country’s military at the site where Martin Luther King delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech 47 years ago to the day.

The location and timing prompted civil rights leaders to cry foul.

A common link among fire, floods, food riots: Government & Environmentalist

By Bob L.
Thur.Sept.09 2010

Here are things that you can not always blame on weather, Global warming, climate change, or what ever they call it, you can put the blame where most of it really belongs, WITH Environmentalist and the Government ( you name them they are behind it ), Fire, Flood, Food, three F’s, that is a failing grade for the Government who sides with Environmentalist.

A common link among Fire, here is a place where you can blame some on lightening, arson, and some times by accident, but a lot can be stopped if the people could keep the area around their homes clear of under brush, Floods, here again rivers can not be cleaned out when they get filled up with silt over time, so what is happening is they are getting shallower, so where do you think water will go, any place it wants to until it get to where it wants to go if it can’t stay in its banks, Oh that s right when it fills up with silt there are no banks to keep the water in, Food riots, and food riots start when farmer are not allowed to farm their land, just like what California is going through today, and it is not because of extreme weather, it is because the Government shut off their water they need to raise their crops.

Then if the farmer can’t farm his land there are job loses, then farmer can’t raise a crop, then he can’t sell his crops, so he can’t make any money to hire people, now you have a continuous vicious circle, FOOD RIOTS.

Just look how they think that they can predict what the weather is going to do, do you think that if they mess with the weather and environment, that they will be able to control what the weather will from year to year, I my self think that they will just make it worst, if they can scare enough people that the SKY is falling they will get a big profit from it.

Scandal-ridden Calif. city must return tax dollars

Here is a good example of what these Elected Officials think of the people who put them in office, or lets put it this way they are only going for these positions so they have the credit card of all taxpayers.

This is what they call identity theft, because our Government agencies have stolen the credit card to pay for their wages or buy some thing to profit from, or buy cars, boats, motorcycles, you can go on, but the average citizen would be behind bars, and this is where all public Officials should be prosecuted, and not get special treatment or pardons, and denied their pensions.

Fear of GOP takeover forces unions to back Dems critical of health

Unions are great for protecting working people from scruples Companies, but they were not the people who the American people voted in to office to run this Country and should not be allowed tell our Government how to run this Country, this go’s for any other Organizations because in most cases they are not doing for the good of Americans, they are only doing it for more power where people don’t have a choice, it is join the union or you don’t work, and this then is not a free Country, it makes this a Police Country, or under a DICTATOR.

Our money has worked fine all these years we don’t need to spend money that we don’t have to have some one make new plates at, what does it cost now to make just one plate, if you the American people are smart, tell them to stick it up their ASS, but the way this Country has been going, the people are so brain washed, they will do any thing this Administration tells them to do, this just how STUPID America has become.

As American workers struggle to make ends meet, it’s important to consider the many ways President Obama’s new health law creates uncertainty and limits American competitiveness.

Rising health costs, new taxes and coverage mandates only represent the tip of the iceberg. Workers and employers also face expensive reporting requirements and administrative burdens, hampering their ability to expand.

Congress should work to make it easier for Americans to create jobs, not more complicated.   our economy requires certainty, but Washington continues to push expensive new programs and anti-competitive policies.

Teacher bonuses fail to boost test scores

By Bob L.

You know that saying that one size fits all is bullshit, specifically in this case, every student wants a different trade or skill or education, and you can’t teach it in one word, COLLEGE, you need trade in there to.

This just shows that teachers are doing exactly what civil service workers are doing, want smaller class size, more pay, for no work, but there are some good teachers, but are being dragged down by money hungry lazy teachers, and the unions are not helping, they are now destroying this Country.

Some nut crackers think that if you pass the dream act you will improve test scores, gee that sounds like if you change the dollar design you will improve the economy, is this what they are teaching in school, now I can see why test scores are down, they are not teaching any thing but stupid, you can tell that by what is coming out of the colleges.

One thing you can see is they are not teaching a trade or a skill, but they do teach college, college, college, but what they are teaching is home work by night and nothing but testing by day, so how can you get an education with this type of teaching, YOU CAN”T.

Colleges are not teaching street, they are teaching snob, so when it comes to running any thing they are stupid, if you don’t think this is true just look at what is running this Country, snobs who think their SHIT don’t STINK and any thing they say and do is right.

Just be thankful you have a job today, not back then.

This Administration wants to spread the wealth, but the only wealth I see being spread is for the wealthy, like CAP & TAX, high health insurance, more hidden taxes that we don’t know about.

Over the years our Government has passed laws to bring this Country along the lines of following the United States Constitution, this Country has had its good times and its bad times, and now they are trying to destroy the CONSTITUTION, but to my knowledge I don’t think that this Country has been in this condition that we are in now, where we can improve or crash, I don’t thing it will take much to crash.

Obama dismisses GOP ‘Pledge’ as echo of disaster

By Bob L.

When is this JACKASS going to under stand that he is just as guilty as every one else for this collapse of this Country, if you check he was in cahoots with ACORN pushing for selling homes to people who did not have a job or was on minim wage before he became a Senator, remember he was spreading the wealth with Acorn and all though organizations. Then he could not wait to sign the collapse  when he was campaigning to be President, and now he blames every one else and says he had nothing to do with it, and any one believes him is just as much as a JACKASS for being stupid.

And he will not listen to any one unless it is a DEMOCRAT, he acts like a little kid who can’t get his way, saying I am going to tell my MAMA because you won’t do what I want to do!!!!

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama says Republicans’ plan to slash taxes and cut spending if the GOP retakes the House in November is no more than “an echo of a disastrous decade we can’t afford to relive.”

Obama used his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday to skewer House Republicans over the “Pledge to America” they unveiled this week. It also promised to cut down on government regulation, repeal Obama’s health care law and end his stimulus program.

Just as a scientist who insists that the sun revolves around the Earth must make erroneous and unsustainable claims to support his flawed premise, so it is that insisting that America is a racist nation requires syndicated columnist Bob Herbert to write things that anyone but a member of the same cult—the cult of the true racists—would instantly recognize to be false.

A perfect example was Herbert’s recent column about the mayor’s race in Washington, D.C.

Herbert begins by scorning the concept of “post-racial” politics, calling defeated D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty “one of the so-called

Maxine Waters on Ethics Trial: ‘Leave Me Alone’

By Emily Miller

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) was charged with three counts of ethical violations on August 2, but the Democrat-controlled House Ethics Committee refuses to schedule her trial. Republicans on the committee demand a trial this month, before the midterm elections.

HUMAN EVENTS found Waters walking alone in the underground tunnel from the U.S. Capitol to the House office buildings. When asked if her hearing on ethical charges will happen before or after the November election, Waters gave us the universal “talk to the hand.”

She refused to answer any questions about the ethics trial, including whether she would take a plea deal

Speaker Nancy Pelosi did not drain swamp, key voters believe

By Bob L.

Did any one think that the Democrats would do any better than the Republicans, they all do the same thing, live high on the taxpayer’s dime until the people get smart, but the problem with people today is the schools are brainwashing our children to believe what ever our Government says and forget about history.

Today NO Politician go’s in to Politics for the betterment of this Country, they go in to it for the money and perks that come with the position that the American will see but never get, just look at Obama care, Obama Chevrolet, Chrysler, and Obama Banks, it is taken away from the Americans and given to the rich and the unions. Just look who has retained their jobs with taxpayer money.

=======================================================================================

Most voters think Congress’s ethics have gotten worse in the past two years, according to a new poll in key battleground districts.

The finding suggests that people likely to have a big say in who controls the House in the next Congress believe that Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has failed to keep her 2006 promise to “drain the swamp” of congressional corruption.

The Hill/ANGA 2010 Midterm Election Poll finds that 57 percent of likely voters in 12 competitive districts believe that the ethical situation on Capitol Hill has deteriorated since President Obama took office. Thirty-two percent of respondents say there has been no change, and only 7 percent claim it has improved.

The Hill/ANGA poll is the first in a groundbreaking series that will survey a total of 42 battleground districts before Election Day — providing clear evidence of who will control the House in the 112th Congress.

In Week 1, pollster Penn Schoen Berland surveyed 4,809 likely voters via phone interviews from Sept. 25 through Sept. 30. The margin of error was plus or minus 1.4 percent, with the margins being higher in subgroups.

Mark Penn, who led the polling team, noted that 34 percent of Democrats polled believe that the handling of ethics has deteriorated since 2008.

Scandals played a leading role in the 1994 elections, when Republicans seized control of Congress. And four years ago, GOP ethical problems helped Democrats take over the House and Senate.

House Republicans hope history repeats itself. While ethics controversies have hit members of both parties in the 111th Congress, most attention this year has focused on Democrats, including Reps. Charles Rangel (N.Y.) and Maxine Waters (Calif.) and former Rep. Eric Massa (N.Y.).

When she took the Speaker’s gavel four years ago, Pelosi pledged to run the “most ethical and honest Congress in history.” And she insists that she has done so. When pressed this year on that commitment, Pelosi interjected, “And we are.”

Asked for comment on the poll’s results, Nadeam Elshami, a Pelosi spokesman, said, “Leading independent advocates for congressional reform credit House Democrats for taking tough action that ensured unprecedented levels of accountability and transparency. When the GOP was in charge, they quadrupled earmarks and legislated behind closed doors on behalf of corporate special interests and have stood in the way of Democratic reform efforts in Congress for the last four years.”

Pelosi’s office also pointed to quotes from Fred Wertheimer of Democracy 21 and Melanie Sloan of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington praising the Speaker for her ethics reforms, most notably the creation of the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE).

While it has attracted praise from watchdog groups, the OCE has been criticized by Democratic and Republican lawmakers in recent months.

GOP officials contend that Democrats’ ethics woes will hurt them at the polls next month.

Michael Steel, spokesman for House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio), said, “There is no doubt that ‘draining the swamp’ in Washington is Speaker Pelosi and Washington Democrats’ most glaring broken promise.”

In The Hill/ANGA poll, at least 48 percent of those surveyed in each of the 12 districts said the ethical situation has gotten worse. The highest percentage came in Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick’s (D-Ariz.) district, where 65 percent said the situation has worsened. The lowest percentage on this question was in Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy’s (D-Ohio) district (48 percent). Kilroy is losing her race by 9 points and Kirkpatrick is trailing by 7, according to the poll.

The overall results show that many older voters (55 years old and above) believe congressional ethics are in decline (62 percent), while only 38 percent of respondents between 17 and 34 years of age take the same view. In the 55-and-above demographic, only 6 percent said ethics have gotten better. There was little difference in the poll between the attitudes of men and women on congressional ethics.

During George W. Bush’s administration, the ethics of House Republicans was front-page news amid the Jack Abramoff scandal and the imprisonment of Reps. Bob Ney (R-Ohio) and Randy “Duke” Cunningham (R-Calif.). In 2004, the House ethics committee admonished then-Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) three times. But the ethics spotlight shifted to Democrats after they grabbed control of Congress.

Republicans over the last several years have seized on the ethics controversies of Rangel, applying political pressure on Pelosi, who pushed the New York Democrat to give up his Ways and Means Committee chairmanship.

The House ethics panel has a lot of work left on its plate, though it is unclear how much of it will emerge this year. The committee is working on the final report on Massa’s alleged groping of male staffers and the trials of Rangel and Waters.

House Republicans on the ethics panel last week urged committee Chairwoman Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) to schedule those trials before the elections.

GOP Attacks White House On Unemployment Data

By Bob L.

Does any one know how many Unemployed are really sitting at home looking for work and can no longer get Unemployment, the Government sure does not know, they don’t even know how many more are being laid off, I am beginning to think that every one that is laid off, this Administration believes that they got a job, not lose a job.

This Administration only knows one thing, that is to BLOW smoke up the Americans ass and make PROMISES, and they want you to believe that they are creating jobs, well they are creating jobs, but they are not jobs that will turn this Country around and put People to work, they are Government JOBS that will just drag this Country Down, because Government does not produce a product to sell,and will eventual run out of money if it does not get MANUFACTURING back in this Country.

Senior citizens brace for Social Security freeze

By Bob L.

This article about people who are complaining about not getting a cost of living in their Social Security when they have other money to live on, should lose that other income and live like the ones that Social Security is their only income, I have no compassion for these people when these are the ones that are living in snob retirement housing.

There are seniors out there trying to find a place that they can afford, but no, the snob retirees make sure that these seniors living just on Social Security starve trying to find a place to live in a places that they can’t afford, if you think that is a bunch of crap, check out Senior housing, you will find on average, one out of ten senior housing  just on Social Security, check the other nine you will see rents that are a Thousand Dollars and more.

And they say there is no discrimination, well look around and you can’t miss it, no matter who you are, and the biggest discriminator is the Governments, because they will not enforce the law, just like all their laws, they turn their backs on them.

It looks like the only ones that are complaining about no increase are snob retirees who really don’t need Social Security, greed shows its ugly face just like Politicians running for office.

From a Maine House, a National Foreclosure Freeze

By Bob L.
Sun./Oct./17/10

A good example of a fore-closer is that this Country has no compassion any more, sure you have freeloaders who will do anything to get some thing for free and that is understandable, but there are people who are just lazy and want some one else to give them every thing so they don’t have to go to work, and you have some that want to work and can’t get a job for one reason or another, then you have ones who have a job and lose it along with every thing else and not one Company or Government will help, I think that is because if they did they think that it will cut in to their outrageous WAGES and then they might lose their HOME or HOMES. Maybe they should lose every thing to see what it is like being on the outside looking in.

The problem today is that every thing is so over priced and out of reach of most Americans, and to be able to buy any thing, you have to drag down ($35.00) thirty-five Dollars and hour and more if you want to buy a house.

Ohio Democrat Threatens Pro-Life Leader with Jail

By Connie Hair
10/20/2010

Rep. Steve Driehaus (D-Ohio) got himself into deep water when he took a principled stand to defend life earlier this year — then buckled to his pro-abortion leadership to vote in favor of passing Obamacare.

The legislation passed by Democrats allows the use of taxpayer dollars to fund abortion on demand through government-run insurance plans.

Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of the Susan B. Anthony List (SBA List), is being threatened with possible jail time for informing voters that Driehaus voted in favor of taxpayer-funded abortion with his vote for Obamacare.

“Ironically, ours is the position that so-called ‘pro-life’ Democrats themselves held before they changed their minds. It is also the position held by the National Right to Life Committee, Americans United for Life, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Ohio Right to Life and numerous other organizations and policy experts,” Dannenfelser said.

SBA List sought to purchase four billboards across Driehaus’ Congressional district informing voters that his vote in favor of Obamacare was a vote for taxpayer funding of abortion. Driehaus filed a complaint with the Ohio Elections Commission on Tuesday, October 6th alleging the SBA List was making false accusations, citing a criminal statute in the complaint. SBA List said Driehaus’ attorney convinced Lamar Companies to not to put up the billboards in order to avoid being added to the elections commission complaint.

“Through this criminal statute, he’s even threatening me with jail time,” Dannenfelser said. “But we will not be silenced or intimidated. In fact, we’re emboldened to make certain that his constituents know the truth about his vote.”

Dannenfelser — not one to be intimidated into silence — upped the ante this week with a $50,000 radio ad campaign airing across Driehaus’ district. The ad highlights Driehaus’ vote for the health care bill which allows for taxpayer funding of abortion.

“Rep. Steve Driehaus’ heavy-handed attempt to silence critics of his vote for taxpayer funding of abortion will not work,” Dannenfelser said. “Our radio ads are spreading the truth about his pro-abortion health care vote to the people of his district, despite his efforts to stifle our constitutionally-protected free speech.”

The 60-second radio spot will air on stations in the Cincinnati and Hamilton areas for two weeks. The ad’s script reads:

I’m Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of the Susan B. Anthony List, a pro-life organization.

Congressman Steve Driehaus is threatening my organization with a criminal statute in a desperate attempt to silence us.

Steve Driehaus doesn’t want you to know the truth…

…but you deserve to hear it.

Steve Driehaus voted for taxpayer funding of abortion when he cast his vote for the health care reform bill.

Every major pro-life group in the country agrees that the health care reform bill allows for taxpayer funding of abortion , including National Right to Life, Americans United for Life, Ohio Right to Life, and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

We will not be silenced or intimidated.

Driehaus voted for taxpayer funding of abortion.

And that vote has consequences.

A full hearing before the Ohio Elections Commission has been set for October 28th. A federal judge is considering a temporary restraining order against Driehaus and the Ohio Elections Commission and is expected to make a ruling as early as today.

Just drive around and look at all the land and water that these turbines have destroyed for this venture, and the same go’s for solar panels, you put it on your roof and then you get a leak in your roof, what is your cost to take them down then put them back?

Land Lost, no longer Available.

Where do the wires run, under

heat days out the ground, (like an electric base board heater) and they are talking about water conservation, this produces a drying affect around these wires before it can reach the water table. ?
How is all THIS going to AFFECT or ALTER the Weather in the future? Do they really know? Bet they never studied for the AFFECTS of more climate change from all this!!!! Looks good on paper while they are lining their pockets before the people open their eyes to what is going on, this also go’s for food for gas, take the food crops to make gas.

Look at what is happening to large companies, they are putting so much money into paying Executives outrageous wages, they can’t see that these companies are no longer profitable for any one, they are a died horse that will never survive until they take all that money and put it back into the company, lower their prices so people can buy their product, PEOPLE BUY EVERY ONE PROFITS, price people out, every one loses.

IRS audits jump by 11 percent; wealthiest targeted

Wed Dec 15

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Service is making it a bit riskier to cheat on your taxes.

The tax agency increased the number of returns it audited by nearly 11 percent this year, statistics released Wednesday show. Wealthy taxpayers and big businesses were most likely to be targeted.

The IRS also stepped up audits of charities and other tax-exempt organizations.

In all, the IRS examined more than 1.58 million individual returns in the budget year that ended in September, up from 1.43 million the year before.

“We saw individual audits increase, reaching the highest rate in the past decade,” said Steve Miller, IRS deputy commissioner for services and enforcement. “The bottom line shows enforcement revenue topped $57 billion, up almost 18 percent from last year.”

Overall, a little more than 1 percent of individual returns were audited, either by mail or in person. The IRS audited more than 8 percent of returns with incomes above $1 million.

Taxpayers filed nearly 143 million returns, including those from individuals and married couples. Nearly 389,000 taxpayers reported incomes of $1 million or above.

Corporate audits dropped slightly, by less than 1 percent. But there was a 7 percent increase in the number of audits of firms with $10 million or more in assets.

It is time that the two-party politics should be abolished, because they can not do any thing with out wining like little kids, they are Elected to protect this Country,NOT THEM SELVES, do your time get out, then shut your mouth and get on with your life, and I don’t mean stick your nose back in, you already screwed things up, SHUT YOUR MOUTH, and let them continue where you left off, they don’t need your help to screw it up any more, they will do a good job on their own.

There were Republicans that backed Democrats here in Ohio, so why do  we need a two, three or ten party system, we need people who will stand up for this Country, not the World, this Country first, then maybe the world, if you can’t take care of your self, you can’t help any one else.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Outgoing Gov. Ted Strickland plans to stay politically active by supporting a startup liberal think tank whose objective will be to scrutinize every action of the incoming Republican-controlled governor’s office and legislature.

In a wide-ranging interview Monday, the Democratic leader, who will leave office on Jan. 9, also said that he did a lot for Cleveland but never got the support he deserved from

EPA sets the stage for expanded climate rules

By Bob L.

I don’t know why these Environmentalist are so wrapped up in every thing on the ground, I have not heard one thing about all the pollution that takes off every hour, what is it 300, 400, maybe 800 an hour at these air ports PLUS what is already in the air, no one talks about that, WHY???

This whole thing is nothing but a Ponzi scheme an the Americans are the lambs for the slaughter.

If they are going to blame cars, power plants, refineries, lawn care machines that use gas, and the BIG one TRUCKS, so they say, but it should start above ground first, and second, tell the American people the real truth, it all has to do with MONEY and nothing else. I forgot one, to yuppies taking over farm land for their fancy homes, METHANE GAS FROM ANIMALS, AND WE CAN’T FOR GET HUMANS.

I guess to stop Environmentalist, yuppies, and Animals from emitting such deadly  gas we need to put a plug-in their tail pipe.

Have you noticed that every pollution law that comes along starts in California, then every one else pays the price, but after they pass a law in California, the people move to other states and start all over again until they get their way, another law is passed.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) unveiled a schedule Thursday for setting greenhouse gas standards for power plants and oil refineries.

While EPA is pledging a “common-sense” approach, the move is likely to escalate a battle between the Obama administration and Republicans, who argue climate regulations will hurt the economy. Members of the GOP are pledging to block the rules on Capitol Hill next year.

Political End Runs

By Thomas Sowell
12/28/2010

The Constitution of the United States begins with the words “We the people.” But neither the Constitution nor “we the people” will mean anything if politicians and judges can continue to do end runs around both.

Bills passed too fast for anyone to read them are blatant examples of these end runs. But last week, another of these end runs appeared in a different institution when the medical “end of life consultations” rejected by Congress were quietly enacted through bureaucratic fiat by administrators of Medicare.

Reid’s Rules Scheme To Rewrite Defeat

By Bob L.

Here we go again, they just had to put Reid back in, (so the people who put him back in will get their just dessert) so now the Democrats with Pelosi and Obama with his Czars are doing the same thing that they did with every thing else, hide behind closed doors (pass laws without reading them) and say that the Republicans don’t want to work with them, so now they are back to scheming for ways to go against all Americans and Republicans to make sure that America will no longer be free.

The Democrats are trying to change the Senate rules so that they can ram through their agenda when their majority shrinks next week from 59 to 53 seats.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has been scheming behind closed doors to use his slim majority to vote on January 5 for the most drastic rules changes since 1975.

Climate PR effort heats up

By Bob L.

Why is it that every time companies have to clean up their act, they put it on the shoulders of the working people in taxes to pay for it, why not make the rich give up some of their own million dollar pay and bonuses, and put it back into the company where it belongs any way, not their pockets, but no, we have to bail them out when they file for bankruptcy, but if they were putting that money back in to the company not their pockets they would not be going bankrupt, and they would have more profit.

There are other ways to clean up the environment then line the pockets of stock holders and corporate execs. But no they make the working people pay for it in loss of jobs, higher prices, or like the bailout, TAXES, for what, so Corporate EXECS. and stock holders can keep their BIG PAY and BONUSES.

Obama’s skirts Congress to appoint lobbying lawyer

President Obama’s latest recess appointment is a corporate lawyer, hailing from a leading Democratic lobbying firm where he represented defense contractors and health care companies.

The nomination of James M. Cole, now deputy attorney general, never made it to the Senate floor thanks to questions about his time as a compliance monitor at AIG, and his views on fighting terrorism.

The natural gas boom gripping parts of the U.S. has a nasty byproduct: waste water so salty, and so polluted with metals like barium and strontium, that most states require drillers to get rid of the stuff by injecting it down shafts thousands of feet deep.

Not in Pennsylvania, one of the states at the center of the gas rush.

There, the liquid that gushes from gas wells is only partially treated for substances that could be environmentally harmful, then dumped into rivers and streams from which communities get their drinking water.

In the two years since the frenzy of activity began in the vast underground rock formation known as the Marcellus Shale, Pennsylvania has been

Obama urges House, Senate GOP leaders to put politics aside

By Bob L.

Presidents and Politicians who live in GLASS HOUSES should not throw STONES, you will never know who is there to throw it back.

The president said he hopes Republicans will realize “there will be plenty of time to campaign for 2012 in 2012. – This is a laugh when the President has already got people out there pushing for his 2012 Campaign, and that is all he has been doing since he got into office, the hell with the problems in America, he does not care, he just wants that second term in office.

At the rate this Country is going down hill, another SIX YEARS there will not be any thing left of this Country, and every one thought BUSH was BAD.

He does not have any clue what is going on here because he turned every thing over to his czars so he can spend all his time flying around in AIR FORCE ONE Campaigning for 2012, he has been doing that since he was Elected, so where does he get off telling the GOP there is plenty of time to Campaign

President Obama, returning to Washington from his Christmas vacation in Hawaii, urged House and Senate GOP leaders to put partisan politics aside in the name of working to boost the economy.

The president said onboard Air Force One he hoped incoming House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) “will realize that there will be plenty of time to campaign for 2012 in 2012,” according to a pool report.

“And that our job this year is to make sure that we build on recovery,” he added. “We started making good progress on that in the lame-duck, and I expect to build on that progress when I get back.”

Obama was asked by reporters during a surprise visit to the press cabin about the House vote next week to repeal his signature healthcare legislation, and whether he expected to get a chilly reception on the Hill.

“I think that there’s gonna be politics, that’s what happens in Washington,” he said. “They are going to play to their base for a certain period of time. But I’m pretty confident that they’re going to recognize that our job is to govern….”

Obama will be back in Washington Tuesday, a day before the swearing-in of the 112th Congress.

President Obama content to let House Republicans thump their chests

By Bob L.

Obama is some thing else, he makes the comment about telling the Republicans there is plenty of time to campaign in 2012, but for him the time to start campaigning is when he was Elected in  2009 and he has not stopped campaigning since, just look how much rest AIR FORCE ONE has since he took office. So look who is throwing stones.

By Sam Youngman: President Obama’s strategy for dealing with the new Republican majority in the House is to stay above the fray and look presidential for the 2012 race.

By Democratic strategist Kirsten Powers: I think we can expect to see some gridlock, not a lot of big things happening but Obama trying to appear more moderate for his re-election.

By JULIE PACE: Republicans readying to run for his job, the administration will simultaneously be laying the groundwork for Obama’s re-election bid, which will be operated out of Chicago.

The president gave a preview of that strategy during his trip home from his Christmas vacation in Hawaii, when he ventured back to Air Force One’s press cabin and suggested he would essentially take a spectator’s role while House Republicans beat their chests and howl.

Asked specifically if he was prepared to deal with a GOP attempt to repeal healthcare reform, Obama seemed somewhat blasé about the priorities of the new Congress.

Obama chooses Daley as chief of staff

Are YOU yes YOU are you Fed-Up

If this article is true to what they are saying, it sounds like some one had better watch to make sure that NO taxpayer money is spent to pay these people to go campaign for Obama, to me Some thing is rotten in Washington D.C.

For some one who Campaigned on NO Lobbyers, NO Wall-street or any one wanting favors from this administration, BUT what has he done since he got into office, exactly what he campaigned against, this proves just how far you can trust this administration.

Are these the same people who brought this Country down on the heels of BANKRUPTCY, or DEPRESSION, and now it sounds like he is going to spend more taxpayers money flying around in AIR FORCE ONE Campaigning for 2012, some one need to cut off his funds to Air Force One and keep it on the ground.

How much time has Obama spent in Washington doing his job since he got control of two air craft one for him and one for his wife to go the same place in TWO DIFFERENT PLANES, I wonder if his children have their own private planes too????

Sanders warns Obama not to agree with GOP on Social Security benefit cuts

By Bob L.

The people who tamper with the Social Security and Medicare want to see more people living on the street or in Homeless shelters, but will it stop them from taking that money from your pay check IF you have a job, (I don’t think so) and this brings up a big question, now that you don’t have a job where will you get money when you become retirement age, look how many people who have lost their retirement do to this housing crash, or have had to spend it to put food and a roof over their families heads, now if you can not get a job before you retire, where will you get money to finish out your years.

Today you have people who have lost their retirement do to down sizing, outsourcing, companies closing their doors do to Government over taxing, and loss of business, a lot of things can come into play that can leave you with NO RETIREMENT or income, so now what do you have.

Then you have the Government that decided that they needed more money to give to other Countries, so they started spending money from the Social Security and putting it in to the General fund, so when are they going to repay their IOU’s, as it stood before that Social Security had a Surplus.

People want to stop Social Security and say they can save for their own retirement, (will they, NO, they will spend it) WOW suddenly you don’t you have a job, NO Retirement, and you Can’t Find A New Job, NOW WHAT, you did it to your selves, they call it GREED.

I thought that maybe she was a person who was for the people, but I can see that she is nothing but a politician who is looking for nothing but a way to make money by finding a way to be able to sue some one who uses the name.

After seeing this I would not cross the street to vote for her at any time.

If this is the case then they should not be able to use any other name, this would go for TV shows Movies or any other way or time that a name would be used like book too, and these names are the only names that they can USE, none other.

What do they mean Awkward moment, today no one sings the National Anthem the way it was intended, it is just like our Flag, there is no pride in the United States any more, every time you turn around some one is trashing this Country, even some American don’t care about this Country any more, they deface the flag, they hack our National Anthem when they sing it, then they call it Racial or I am sorry.

Is there not any pride in this Country any more, all these yuppies want to do is tear apart any thing that has to do with American History, Foreign Countries seem to maintain their History, is that why Americans like to go there so they can see the History of those Countries because they maintain their heritage.

I my self am getting tired of the Bashing our history and Heritage of the people who came to this Country to make it a Country to be proud of and to get away from DICTATORS, and TAXES.

Today this Country has gone back to what our ancestors got away from.

Why are there no jobs to find, did any one think about why, or did you forget, the biggest  loss of jobs go’s to Number one, Environmental Protection Agency, (2) Federal Government, (3) State Governments, (4) County Governments, and last but not least of the Governments, (5) City Governments, (6) and we can’t forget greedy Companies, take it in any order it does not matter, they are all guilty and Greedy, and the biggest Problem is Taxes, then Environmental.

It just like every thing else, FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS A REACTION, and the reaction to this is NO JOBS, and the Number Two reason is greed of Company’s top brass who want more Money and Bonuses to take home so they can buy another Vacation Home, or a Yacht, Fancy Car, or to just sit back and laugh at the American worker who is trying to keep a roof over their head and food on the table and  pay their Bills.

Look at it this way, the Companies and Governments don’t care about the American worker, they only want all your MONEY to help every one else but you, the American who need just as much help as the rest of the world.

LOOK at it this way YOU ELECTED THEM TO CONTROL SPENDING, NOW GET RID OF THEM IF THEY WON’T DO THEIR JOB THAT THEY WERE ELECTED TO DO, no one said it was easy, and no one said you would make friends when you took office, this goes to every Government Agency, if they won’t do their Job, CAN THEM, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOTHING BUT COWARDS AND WILL NEVER DO THE RIGHT THING. If they are not there when it comes to the floor for a vote, go on without them, that is what they did in D.C., they went behind closed doors and voted with out the Republicans there, they even bribed the ones who were with the Republicans to vote with them.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she supports the Democratic state senators in Wisconsin who left the state to stop a vote on curbing collective bargaining rights for unionized public employees.

After earlier voicing solidarity with the workers protesting against Gov. Scott Walker (R) in Wisconsin, Pelosi told The Hill she also stands behind the state legislators who fled and are now reportedly being sought by police.

“I saw some of them speak on TV, and they were very proud of the action that they took. I’m very proud of what they are doing,” she said. “They’re standing up for the rights of America’s workingmen and -women to have a voice at the table about their jobs and their futures, so yes, I support them.”

But whether House Democrats would ever leave Washington to hold up legislation in Congress is another matter.

Pelosi laughed off a question about whether she would ever lead House Democrats out of the capital in protest of the Republican majority. “Would we have to go to another country?” she quipped. “We’re national.”

The Democratic senators in Wisconsin left to deny Republicans a quorum to hold a vote on the contested legislation. In Washington, House Democrats have railed against the GOP’s proposed budget cuts, but they have a Democratic Senate majority and President Obama as a backstop.

Chicago school bans some lunches brought from home

It’s milk versus a Coke. But with allergies and any medical issue, of course, we would make an exception.”

For many CPS parents, the idea of forbidding home-packed lunches would be unthinkable. If their children do not qualify for free or reduced-price meals, such a policy would require them to pay $2.25 a day for food they don’t necessarily like.

Chicago school bans homemade lunches, the latest in national food fight

Students who attend Chicago’s Little Village Academy public school get nothing but nutritional tough love during their lunch period each day. The students can either eat the cafeteria food–or go hungry. Only students with allergies are allowed to bring a homemade lunch to school, the Chicago Tribune reports.

“Nutrition wise, it is better for the children to eat at the school,” principal Elsa Carmona told the paper of the years-old policy. “It’s about … the excellent quality food that they are able to serve (in the lunchroom). It’s milk versus a Coke.”

But students said they would rather bring their own lunch to school in the time-honored tradition of the brown paper bag. “They’re afraid that we’ll all bring in greasy food instead of healthy food and it won’t be as good

(President Barack Obama has launched his re-election bid in a low-key manner). Any one who believes this is awful stupid, dumb, lacks a brain you name it you won’t be wrong, Obama has campaigned since he raised his hand in January of 2009, he does not care what is happening, he is more worried about 2012, if you have not noticed, he has spent more time in Air Force One then any other President, and we can’t forget his wife doing the same think in her Private plane, to think about what is happening other than getting to be a two term, I will leave this open to your comment.

WHO really is the President of this Country, Obama’s czars, his wife, the Democrats, or is there some one else that the American people don’t know about?? It can’t be Obama, he is very seldom there to see what is going on, like they say in court, if you did not hear it or see it direct at the time, it is not admissible, and can not be excepted as fact.

WASHINGTON – Out with Sarah. In with The Donald.

President Barack Obama has launched his re-election bid in a low-key manner, but the Republican Party’s search for a challenger seems stranger by the day.

GOP celebrities like Sarah Palin aren’t getting much buzz. Mainstream candidates like Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty aren’t getting much traction. It’s people once considered highly unlikely to compete seriously for the party’s nomination who are creating big stirs in early voting states, a reflection of an unformed and uncertain GOP presidential field.

Republican activists in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina appear deeply intrigued by, and open to, a run by Donald Trump, the publicity-loving business tycoon and host of NBC’s “The Apprentice,” even as he perpetuates falsehoods about Obama’s citizenship and questions the legitimacy of his presidency.

“I hear more and more people talking about Donald Trump,” said Glenn McCall, Republican Party chairman

US default could be disastrous choice for economy

By Bob L.
4-24-2011

Does any one think that the recession is over, or a Depression is just around the corner, well at this rate it is inevitable for total destruction.
=======================================================================================================================

TOM RAUM, Associated Press
Sat Apr 23

WASHINGTON – The United States has never defaulted on its debt and Democrats and Republicans say they don’t want it to happen now. But with partisan acrimony running at fever pitch, and Democrats and Republicans so far apart on how to tame the deficit, the unthinkable is suddenly being pondered.

The government now borrows about 42 cents of every dollar it spends. Imagine that one day soon, the borrowing slams up against the current debt limit ceiling of $14.3 trillion and Congress fails to raise it. The damage would ripple across the entire economy, eventually affecting nearly every American, and rocking global markets in the process.

A default would come if the government actually failed to fulfill a financial obligation, including repaying a loan or interest on that loan. The government borrows mostly by selling bonds to individuals and governments, with a promise to pay back the amount of the bond in a certain time period and agreeing to pay regular interest on that bond in the meantime.

To Retire Our National Debt, We Must Retire Obama

By David Limbaugh
04/24/2011

Everyone but the blind and reckless agrees that the United States faces a dire financial crisis. But only one of the two major political parties is offering a plan that has a reasonable chance of averting this crisis and restoring the nation to financial health.

Obama’s ever-changing proposals, allegedly designed to tackle the problem, simply could not work. One of the following must be true: He doesn’t agree that the crisis is grave, doesn’t understand that his policies can’t work, doesn’t have the same vision about America as most of us, or doesn’t intend for his policies to work. Some people believe he’s intentionally damaging America, because they believe he’s too smart not to know that we face a crisis and that his policies can’t work.

I don’t pretend to comprehend the inner child of his past that apparently impels him to pursue this current path of destruction. My educated guess is that his leftist ideology blinds him to the inefficacy of failed liberal prescriptions but also that this same ideology tells him that if things don’t get appreciably better, then that’s OK, too, because America’s had more than its fair share of prosperity anyway.

Think about it. Through every fiber of his being runs a sense of injustice

What a crock of shit, Obama had nothing to do with the killing or capture of Bin Laden, it was the military that did the work NOT Obama.

The incoming chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) said President Obama deserves credit for the killing on Sunday of Osama bin Laden.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) praised Obama and specifically credited Obama for “refocusing” U.S. efforts in Afghanistan and Pakistan, which Wasserman Schultz asserted led to bin Laden’s death.

“President Obama’s leadership in making the targeting of Osama Bin Laden our highest military and intelligence priority, warrants our gratitude,” Wasserman Schultz said in a statement. “He deserves credit for refocusing U.S. efforts in Afghanistan and Pakistan to root out terrorism which no doubt helped lead to this historic announcement.”

Obama’s Scandalous War Against Domestic Oil

And the truth keep coming out every day that Obama does not care about America and the American people, the way I see it he is like all the rest in Government, HOW MUCH THEY CAN MAKE WHILE IN OFFICE, and how many terms in office they can get away with.

Obama’s Anti-Energy Policies Are Bankrupting America (mb50.wordpress.com)

Do you remember the terrible things the left was saying about President George W. Bush when gas prices soared under his watch? Yet President Obama, whose policies and actions are actually contributing to rocketing gas prices today, gets the usual mainstream media pass.

Is it that the liberal media exempt Obama from accountability because they’re on his team in general? Is it because they think he’s blameless in the equation even though they sprang to the unfounded conclusion that Bush was culpable? Or could it be that they aren’t critical because they share his bias against conventional energy and believe the pain caused by his policies is necessary to move us toward alternative energy sources?

During Bush’s term, gas prices went down 9 percent, adjusted for inflation. Yet, preposterously, he was excoriated for allegedly colluding with “big oil” to drive up prices. When prices spiked later in his term, he took proactive steps to increase our supply and reduce prices, and they worked. But Obama has taken action to impede conventional energy sources and shove us into alternative ones. Even so, liberals ignore any possible causal links.

Obama told us he would bankrupt the coal industry. He’s pushing high-speed rail down our throats despite the lack of public demand for it and our inability to finance it. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said the administration intended to coerce us out of our cars. Energy Secretary Steven Chu said, “Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.”

Obama mocks Republican position on immigration

By Bob L.     This TWO Party system is nothing but little First graders, and the Democrats are the biggest whiners, they would rather tear down this Country then save it, then comes the Republicans, then comes the rest like the yuppies.

It would be nice if Obama would keep his damn mouth shut and get his ass back in D.C. where it belongs where his job is, and get back to getting this country back on its feet and less tearing down America, if he does not like it then send him back to Africa where he wants to be.

It is time to send this TWO Party system packing, this system is obsolete just like no one will lose their job because of COMPUTERS.

EL PASO, Texas – In search of Hispanic votes and a long-shot immigration overhaul, President Barack Obama on Tuesday stood at the U.S.-Mexico border for the first time since winning the White House and declared it more secure than ever. He mocked Republican lawmakers for blocking immigration over border security alone, saying they won’t be happy until they get a moat with alligators along the border.

“They’ll never be satisfied,” he said.

Stymied by both chambers of Congress, the president ditched lawmakers in favor of voters who might pressure them, making an appeal to the public on a hot and dusty day far outside the beltway. He told a friendly El Paso, Texas, crowd that it’s up to them to tell Congress to pass legislation providing a pathway to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants.

The approach also allowed the president to make clear that it’s Republicans — not him — standing in the way of immigration legislation. As his re-election campaign approaches it’s a message he wants broadcast loud and clear to Latino voters who don’t like his administration’s heavy deportations and feel he never made good on his promise to prioritize immigration legislation during his first year in office.

CBO says taxing cars by the mile could raise money for highways

By Bob L.
5/17/2011

This law would be nice if it was for People who move away from where they work, but it would not be fair for people whose work is driving, or how about people who drive 20 miles a week if they are lucky just to go to the store, not 50 to 80 miles a day one way just to go to an office job or a warehouse house job.

You have people who can’t help the miles they drive because their job moves from time to time, and some time to another state, they say use mass transit, or carpool, I don’t know where their heads are at, but we do know that they sit on them every day, and they do blow a lot of gas every time they open their, well you get the idea when they stand  up to clear their throat. Not all can car pool, or use mass transit.

If they go ahead and pass a law like this then the only ones that would be exempt from this mileage tax is Police and Fire and no one else, PERIOD, that means no one else will get any discounts that goes for State or Federal Governments, Pass a law, you all pay.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) on Tuesday said the imposition of a new tax on cars and trucks based on how many miles they drive would be one way of generating revenues for the federal Highway Trust Fund.

Joseph Kile, CBO’s assistant director for microeconomic studies, told the Senate Finance Committee that a tax on vehicle miles traveled (VMT) would help the Highway Trust Fund meet its spending goals, in particular because the Fund is already spending more than it collects through the federal gas tax.

But he also said the tax would better align highway costs with revenue generation, and promote the more efficient use of the highway system.
 ”Although taxes currently are charged for fuel, most of the cost of using a highway, especially the cost of pavement damage and congestion, are tied more closely to the number of miles traveled than to the amount of fuel consumed,” Kile told senators.

“Charging users based on the cost they impose would require a combination of fuel taxes and per-mile charges, sometimes called VMT taxes,” he added. “Imposing such prices would encourage motorists to use the highways only when the benefits to them outweigh the costs, and a system like that would also reduce highway use and thus future spending.”

Kile added in his prepared remarks before the committee that revenues could also be generated in ways not related to driving. However, he seemed to downplay that idea because this would “not promote efficient use of highways.”

Desert Pupfish Forces Border Agents to Patrol on Foot

Here we are again, our Government is so over blotted by Obama’s bigger government, our Country is falling down around us, and it seems that not one American cares what is happening, most are so wrapped up in their own little world, and that some one will stop them from doing what they want done, example, this article, environmentalists, church, Governments who all think they are our parents and we can’t do any thing with out their permission, so how can we protect our Country from terrorist and any other problems that come along, they are so blind they can’t see what is happening.

What is a pupfish and how rare are they: Wikipedia [Pupfish are a group of small killifish belonging to ten genera of the family Cyprinodontidae of ray-finned fish. All pupfish are especially noted for being found in extreme and isolated situations, in various parts of North America, South America, and the Caribbean region. As of August 2006 there were 120 known nominal species, and 9 subspecies.]

Federal agents must abandon their vehicles and chase drug smugglers and illegal aliens on foot through 40 acres near the Mexican border because of a pond that is home to the endangered desert pupfish.

It’s part of the agreement between the Homeland Security and Interior departments on how best to protect the ecosystem, frustrating lawmakers who say it also prevents agents from conducting routine patrols.

States shorten duration for unemployment benefits

States shorten duration for unemployment benefits:   Is this the reason why they are saying that Americans are going back to work, or is this just to make Obama look like his dumping this Country along with Bush into a bankrupt country having to barrow money to keep from going into another depression, or are we in the beginning of one, and they are not man enough to tell the American people the truth, what ever they are peddling is sure stinks, and like they say shit runs down hill, and the low and middle class American people are the recipients of it.

WASHINGTON – Some of the states that have drained their unemployment insurance funds are cutting the number of weeks that a laid-off worker can count on those benefits. Legislators are trying to limit tax increases for businesses to replenish the pool and are hoping the federal government keeps stepping in when the economy slumps.

Michigan, Missouri and Arkansas recently reduced the maximum number of weeks that the jobless can get state unemployment benefits. Florida is on the verge of doing so. Unemployment in those states ranges from 7.8 percent in Arkansas to 11.1 percent in Florida.

Ala. town hit by tornadoes bans FEMA trailers

This article shows exactly how much the Governments of this Country feel toward the had working people and how much they will give to help when they are down.

CORDOVA, Ala. – James Ruston’s house was knocked off its foundation by tornadoes that barreled through town last month and is still uninhabitable. He thought help had finally arrived when a truck pulled up to his property with a mobile home from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Then he got the call: Single-wide mobile homes, like the FEMA one, are illegal in the city of Cordova.

The city’s refusal to let homeless residents occupy temporary housing provided by FEMA has sparked outrage in this central Alabama town of 2,000, with angry citizens filling a meeting last week and circulating petitions to remove the man many blame for the decision, Mayor Jack Scott.

Ruston and many others view the city’s decision as heartless, a sign that leaders don’t care that some people are barely surviving in the rubble of a blue-collar town.

“People have to live somewhere. What’s it matter if it’s in a trailer?” asked Felicia Boston, standing on the debris-strewn lot where a friend has lived in a tent since a tornado destroyed his home on April 27.

Why is Chronic Joblessness on the Rise?

By Bob L.
07/08/2011

This will never be like it used to be untill our Governments stop raising taxes, and learn how to say no to all these yuppies that want all this fancy stuff that is not beneficial to creating full-time jobs not part-time or temporary, but as long as they keep spending taxpayer money on thing that are not needed, there will never be a job to keep people working, the way I feel is if it is some thing you want then you pay for it not the taxpayer.

Why do we need Schools that are spread out over Fifty Acres and costing Millions Dollars, or why are we building Post offices that here again cost millions, in all, these cases and more are bankrupting this Country, what is wrong with going back to building less appealing and more functional to get a better Education and keep more jobs, I keep forgetting yuppies want it all and the best, NO MATTER WHAT IT COST.

Tick, tick: Time’s up on debt limit

The Hill

06/13/11

The can cannot be kicked down the road again. The deadline cannot be delayed. It’s now or … well, no one wants to contemplate what happens if there’s no sign of a debt-reduction deal by July 4. The dollar or capital markets, or both, could explode.

As Vice President Joe Biden’s group of negotiators returns to the bargaining table this week, there’s at least one thing that unites Republicans and Democrats working to bridge a partisan chasm on fiscal policy: They know that time is running out to agree to lift the $14.3 trillion debt limit and end fears of a first-ever default by the U.S. government.

While the Treasury Department has set an Aug. 2 deadline for Congress to approve an increase, negotiators are pushing to have a framework in place by Independence Day, according to people briefed on the talks.

I agree with what Mr. Limbaugh is saying about the way people are so calm about what is happening, but until people start getting more involved in this Country we are going to lose every thing that our Fore fathers fought for.

I know people thing that every thing is in good hands, well if it was, then why are we so far in debt if it was in good hands, look around, are your neighbors or your self out of work or close to losing  jobs???

Some friends in Ohio that I met when I lived there, are in that situation now because the companies they work for were bought out and are now down sizing, does that sound like this country is putting people back to work.

It’s no secret that this country is enduring an unemployment crisis.

But what’s especially troubling about today’s jobless scene is that the United States is actually in the midst of a *long-term* unemployment crisis. Of the nearly 14 million Americans who are officially jobless, more than 6 million have been out of work for more than six months, the official definition of long-term unemployment.

What You Want Is What You Get

Minnesotans frustrated, angry over state government shutdown, how about any other state, even how about at the Federal level, well people you get what you want, but never in your wildest dreams of who is going to pay for all the things you want.

 Well Minnesotans are finding out who is paying for it, just like Californians are, so what next, flee the state and do the same thing all over again in another state, I want it, give me give me, got to have it, well our Federal Government is headed in the same direction, now where will you go, Canada, Mexico, Europe, China, Oh I for got you are all ready fleeing this Country for cheaper Taxes and Living Accommodations that you destroyed here.

What is the best way to put it, I guess the only way to put it is GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ass and live on your own PAY CHECK not on the TAXPAYERS of this Country, put your foot down and STOP letting our Governments keep raising taxes so the RICH and the YUPPIES can get what they want.

Just drive around these Cities, Counties and States and look at the waste of tax payer money that could have been put to better use like, Health Care for all, PUBLIC EDUCATION, NOT PRIVATE, (how much taxpayer money goes to private schools that is taken away from public schools), ROAD REPAIRS, (not planting trees in the center of our roads that make it more dangerous to drive), GET RID OF TRAFFIC CIRCLES (wasted money) at intersections that are dangerous to motorist as well as fire and police that have to respond to emergencies (every second wasted is a life lost), go back East where you take your life in your hands at rush hour trying to enter one, it is like trying to get on a merry-go-round at 30 mph. this is all wasted taxpayers money for what, not for safety.

You can go on and on and see the waste of taxes because some YUPPIE just had to change some thing that worked good for years, but did not suit him, this also goes for City, County and State planners who don’t look to what can happen after they made their design of what they want to do, even though it is a waste of money, they don’t care, it is not their money, (BUT IT IS).

With the poor economy lingering and the jobless rate remaining high, Rhode Island and other states are stepping up efforts to stop the fraud and improper payments.

WHAT have we LEARNED from the PAST (Part 1)

What have we learned from our Government over the years, well they are doing the same thing that they did in the past, let greed run rampant while stopping small business from getting started.

Lets Look back to the big Great Depression in 1929 to 1940, are we going to repeat History in 2029, they say history repeats its self every 100 years.

How about the leed up to the Great Depression in 1920 to 1921, do they ever talk about this one, NO, and WHY not?

The Forgotten Depression of 1920
By Thomas E. Woods, Jr.

It is a cliché that if we do not study the past we are condemned to repeat it. Almost equally certain, however, is that if there are lessons to be learned from an historical episode, the political class will draw all the wrong ones — and often deliberately so.

Far from viewing the past as a potential source of wisdom and insight, political regimes have a habit of employing history as an ideological weapon, to be distorted and manipulated in the service of present-day ambitions. That’s what Winston Churchill meant when he described the history of the Soviet Union as “unpredictable.”

WHAT have we LEARNED from the PAST (Part 2)

By Bob L.
07/08/2011

Through the years our government has taken away our self-esteem and our pride, and every year they take away more, when is it going to stop?

Our Government has taken away our rights to work for their greed to milk out more taxes, they have passed laws that are making Americans lazy to where they don’t have any work ethics to know what work is all about, for the one that don’t know what I am talking about, does any one below the age of sixteen have a job with out a work permit, that you can blame on our tax greedy Government.

This is when kids had to work with their parents to put food on their table if they had one to sit at, but this is where they got the idea that to get any where they had to work. Later on they could work with their parents in the summer to make money so they would have spending money for school. Later our Government made quick work of no child will be allowed to have a summer job without a work permit and not less than SIXTEEN.

This is what our Government is doing to our kids in the future, they are keeping people from getting a job.
Is this what our kids are going to see, their kids picketing for them. 

Do you think that our kids should be doing this?

Can you see you kids walking a picket line so you can have a job, only in America will you SOME people stick up for each other but would it be right to have our kids doing it.

Then there are the people who are out of work and trying to get a job.What does it say, the small print at the bottom says, Chamber Of Commerce, another group with the Government in keeping people from having a job.

I don’t know but I would say it looks just like what is happening today, and what I have heard you can not get your old job back if you were laid off unless you go back to school, WHY, COMPUTERS.

Now we have some complaining about Racial Profiling and keeping it stirred up so no one can concentrate on who can work and who can not.

Same thing Chamber Of Commerce, the same ones who are helping Outsource our jobs.

WHAT have we LEARNED from the PAST (Part 3)

By Bob L.

Years back we had slavery in this country, has any thing changed, you can’t prove it by what I see today, there is still slavery, but to-day it is not just the Colored, Mexicans, Native Americans, or Whites, it is every one who is not a Government Employee, or the rich, it is every one else who are the slaves.

Lets see there was Chinese, Blacks, Native Americans, Whites, lets look at it this way, any one who gets less than $50,000.00 can be classified as a slave, because each year their wages keep going down from taxes and higher prices and see no way of getting a raise, if they do they know that their job is in the process of disappearing.

The problem today, there are to many people out there that don’t want to stop race or racial profiling, any little hiccup they throw out the race card, or they are in there with both feet causing trouble giving every one a bad name, and until then it makes it hard for any one from getting a job, you go in with a chip on your shoulder, you go out with out a job.

 Is this what you want your kids doing not trusting any one, and is this how you want to see your kids?????

Every one has to work together and stop fighting and admit that all LEGAL American citizens have to live together or you will be the same as the EAST fighting each other, OVER WHAT, does any one really know, or is what is happening here in this Country, fighting over RACE, but there, RELIGION.

Inserts from the Democratic Party.

(So they say History Repeats its self.)[Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future. -- President John F. Kennedy!]

I Got A Job, Free Medical, And A Big Plane, What Are You whining About

As this says, they have for Two Hundred Years been working for hard-working families, but does any one remember here lately that they bailed out the Rich, and the Reckless speculators with your money and left you with out a job, let alone call you unspeakable names.

They also say, they don’t let the most influential write their own rules,what do you call all the perks they receive from the lobbyist.

The Democratic Party: 1800-1828  And today they are trying to rewrite the Constitution to help themselves.

[For more than 200 years, Democrats have represented the interests of working families, fighting for equal opportunities and justice for all Americans.

Our party was founded on the conviction that wealth and privilege shouldn’t be an entitlement to rule and the belief that the values of hardworking families are the values that should guide us.

We didn’t become the most prosperous country in the world by rewarding greed and recklessness or by letting those with the most influence write their own rules. We got here by rewarding hard work and responsibility, by investing in people, and by growing our country from the bottom up.

Today Democrats are fighting to repair a decade of damage and grow an economy based on the values of Main Street, not greed and reckless speculation. Democrats are focused on rescuing our economy not just in the short run but also rebuilding our economy for the long run—an economy that lifts up not just some Americans, but all Americans.]

Did I Do That

Democrats have a long and proud history of fighting for voting rights that continues to this day, and the Democratic National Committee is dedicated to ensuring that every voter has the information necessary to exercise his or her right to vote. The Voting Rights Institute works to give guidance and leadership on a variety of voting rights and election administration laws and polices, as well as voter protection and voter education information.

We can’t blame every thing on just one person, WE are all responsible for the problems of this Country and its problems, we started slavery, we all are racist, from the President, all the way down to where a child is born, and then after, when will people get over it.

(Government) Give Me All Your Money Then We Will Talk About A Job

I guess as long as the government keeps raising taxes, ALL LEGAL Americans will remain as SLAVES to the Wealthy and the Government.

When you get down to it, the Republicans are not Angles ether.

And Obama says he is not out to KILL GRANDMA, but where is the first place he cuts, you got it Grandma, Disabled Vets., the sick, and young kids.

Here we go again, Obama threatening the American people again to force us to put pressure on our Elected Officials to pass his outrageous money spending so he can keep the money going to his Cronies and Czars.

This is the same thing, the public always gets the ax, just like Police and Fire, never the people Above.

Reading this article, I did not read any thing about them cutting their wages and not getting THEIR PAY if they don’t get an agreement.

I have a good Idea, why don’t we just throw the bum out on his ear, and ban him from practicing law, and see how he likes living from pay check to pay check.

President Obama warned Tuesday that retirees might not receive their Social Security checks next month if lawmakers fail to reach an agreement on how to reduce the federal debt.

“I cannot guarantee that those checks go out on Aug. 3rd if we haven’t resolved this issue. Because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it,” Obama told CBS’s Scott Pelley in an interview set to air tonight on the CBS Evening News.

Roughly $20 billion in Social Security checks are set to be mailed out on Aug. 3–a day after the Treasury Department says the U.S. will begin defaulting on its financial obligations unless the debt ceiling is raised.

GOING BANKRUPT, and no jobs to bail us OUT

They say if you want a good go to College and you will get a good job, well that might be true, but does that mean that mean that you know what to do when you get a job, if that was true then why is this Country going broke, Greed is the problem, they would rather line their pockets then keep people working.

IF NO ONE WORKS, NO ONE BUYS, NO ONE SPENDS MONEY, then what happens, PRICES GO UP, JOBS GO DOWN,WHY,GREED.

Bush To Obama, Next a Depression

President Barack Obama clashed sharply with a top Republican foe as tense talks to avert a ruinous early August US debt default flared up amid grim warnings about the global consequences.

US central bank chief Ben Bernanke said a default would plunge the economy into “major crisis,” while ratings agency Moody’s warned the United States may lose its sterling triple-A debt rating on rising risks of a short-term default.

Default would “throw shockwaves through the entire global financial system,” and risk sending the fragile US economy into a new recession, the US Federal Reserve chairman told a key congressional committee.

These SPOILED kids of Yuppies (we can’t for get the environmentalist), that range from the time they can be taught to the age of thirty, that is when they grow up and find out that they have destroyed things for their kids, but the problem is, IT IS TO LATE, the damage is done to do any thing about it, if you don’t belive it, look around you and see what has happened to this Country today, NOW ask your self how did this happen, what went wrong, WELL, you asked, you wanted, and now you are going to pay, NOW HOW are you going to pay for what you had to have with A Country that can’t pay its bills because of what you had to have, and it had to only be the best.

In actuality the biggest problem lies with the Government, first by not saying no, second they think every one in America has a job, and third they passed a lot of laws that stopped kids from getting summer jobs, so what do these kids have to do,  “Mailbox blast leaves Parkland widow distraught”, there is a lot more going on than hits the news papers.

Reading the news today, Boarders book store closing all store, WHY, every one today wants a computer to read, not a book, Out Come, 10,700 let go PLUS jobs tied to what they do, but these people who just have to have all this fancy stuff, are one of the biggest cause of the job market going down hill, and we can’t for get the GREEDY, which is a Third and the Government is the last Third.

Americas Debt what do you Cut?

By Bob L.
7/20/2011

Every day you see the same thing Debt, Jobs, Welfare, Social Security, medicare, Medicaid, but what don’t you hear, Government freezing or Cutting their pay, why have they not taken Automatic Annual Pay, why has that not been put that on the table, or how about ObamaCare, these are just some or the things that should be on the table, then you have all this PORK that has not been done and should be taken back from these states that used that money for other things then what is was for.

Look at Obamacare is that not under Medicaid on his Health Plain to Spread the wealth for the poor, or is that just Double Talk, or is it just saying what they think that people want to here.

I don’t think that they know how much problem they are causing by taking away things that Americans really need, people don’t need Turtle crossings, Duck crossings, Art museums, Performing Arts, that should be paid for by people who want it not the Taxpayer. This is where a lot of money is wasted because it is only for Special interest Groups who want some one else to pay for it, American need Cheaper Medical Coverage, Full Time Jobs that all can do, and less Tax Burden on the working class, not the wealthy.

If Medicare or Medicaid is cut they will have a problem like that will end up costing more in the long run, you ask like what, if a Senior or a child gets sick and it is contagious, how will you know if they can’t go to see a Doctor, who will pay for it if no one can afford Obamacare, or Independent insurance, even if they can they will not be able pay for what is left of the bill, so things will be the same if you did not have insurance.

No one in DC has said, now there are more people who have lost their pensions sense they have lost their jobs, or their Companies were sold but not with their retirerment, these will be the people who will have no income if our Government plays with Social security, PLUS when they retire will they not get full Social Security that they did not pay into.

These people who stand up their saying how smart they are, if they are as smart as they say they are then why are we in such a mess, they say if you go to College you will have good paying jobs, but they did not say you would have the brains to do the job, (they don’t) if you don’t belive me look at what is running this Country, they stand in front of a mic and say how well this Country is doing, then they turn around and say that they need your help to bail them out because they can’t pay the bills, and why, look at all the lobbyist and special interest camped out at their doors with their hand out for money. (better known as you scratch my back I scratch yours)Most Americans  never get to see this money that is handed out to all these people.

TELL THIS GOVERNMENT NOW AND IN THE FUTURE TO JUST SAY NO!!!

What are they waiting for, or are they going to Dump on US

By Bob L.
7/25/2011

What are they waiting for, the right time to say you don’t know what is good for you so we are going to stuff it in your shorts if you are the American poor.

This Government does not care about the American people, no matter who they are in Washington DC, they only care about the wealthy and themselves to get all the things that the American people can’t get, no matter what they say.

The problem with this Government is that they hide every thing from the American people behind closed doors, what are they trying to hide and don’t want the American people know.

They could save a lot of money if they cut PROGRAMS that the rich benefit from, but they will never do that, there are a lot of programs that they have dumped millions into for years that have done nothing but make the rich, richer, just look at how much they have dumped into Pharmaceutical Companies that are making enormous Profits and still have not come up with cures, but they have come up with drugs that are very dangerous with the help of the Food and Drug of this country, look at the warnings on them, you take them you are taking a 50% chance of dying over time which is supposed to save you not kill you.

This will go on until they get every thing taken away from the American people, just like all the money they took for all these  bail outs, did the TAXPAYER get that money back, check it out and you will see that the Government got theirs back, but what was it for the Taxpayer in losses, well into the millions that will never be seen again while the ones who got the money will profit it. Who was it that said that the taxpayer would not see the return of their money, who got it, the Rich to put in THEIR POCKETS.

Has any Government agency in this Country ever been truthful to the American people, NO, they will tell you any thing so they can spend money on things that have nothing to do with operation of the City, State, or U.S., but it does line their pockets, didn’t we just see that in the bail out of the Rich so that they would not go broke and have to lay people off (what are we 9 1/2% going back to 10%), then turn around and Laugh at the American people while they were giving them selves a BIG BONUS and PAY RAISE.

How much are they going to give them selves when they get the debt ceiling raised, 10 – 15%, and then say they deserved it, or a rich Business a BIG LOAN.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Will the sky fall on August 2 if the U.S. Congress fails to raise the debt ceiling?

Not likely, according to analysts, who say that even without the ability to borrow more money, the government could avoid a devastating default for another week or so. That raises the question of how urgently action is needed to increase the nation’s borrowing limit.

For weeks, President Barack Obama and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner have stressed

A Tale of Two Signs:  “Hiring Now!” or “Going Out of Business”?

By Wynton C. Hall
07/29/2011

The 2012 equivalent of Ronald Reagan’s famous “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” will be:  “In your hometown, which do you see more of: ‘Hiring Now!’ signs or ‘Going Out of Business’ signs?”

Those trapped in the grip of the disastrous Obama economy already know the answer, and it terrifies David Axelord, David Plouffe, and President Barack Obama.  The presidential candidate who frames the debate this way will win. 

Why?

Because the sad and tragic economic facts are now

Debt ceiling deal: What’s the impact on the economy, ordinary Americans?

By Bob L.
8/1/11

There are a lot a questions that this article brings up, like if they cut Government spending, how could that make job recovery worst then what it is now, or is it just a way to go back to the same old Government spending.

Just how much more are they going to cover up that they don’t want the people to know.

This picture of the two look awfully chummy, all most like they are hiding some thing.

Debt Ceiling Deal: Almost No Spending Cuts Before 2014

WASHINGTON (AP) — The first phase of a deal to raise the government’s borrowing limit would pose little threat to the economy in the short term because almost none of the spending cuts would occur before 2014.
Discretionary spending, which excludes Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, would be cut by $21 billion in 2012 and $42 billion in 2013, according to an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office. That’s a small fraction of the nation’s $14 trillion economy.

The Democratic Unemployment Act

Slate

Aug. 1, 2011

How will President Obama and his party justify the spending
cuts in the debt deal?

On Sunday, after he’d been schooled by leaders on the automatic cuts that could
make a debt deal possible, Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad, D-N.D.,
talked to reporters. He was tight-lipped on the details but broadly optimistic
about the bargain. There was one nagging question I wanted to ask: All the
discretionary spending cuts in the plan—did they threaten to slow down growth,
to drive up unemployment?

By Zachary Roth Senior National Affairs Reporter File/AP
8/1/11

In his announcement last night of the deal between Congress and the White House to raise the debt ceiling, President Obama declared that Washington leaders now “should be devoting all of our time” to addressing the country’s broader economic woes. But the agreement could itself have a major impact on the struggling economy, if it passes Congress.

So what’s the deal likely to mean for ordinary Americans?

Check back and read the posts that I have posted, you can talk about Government spending, but how about Americans spending, they have done no better, look around this Country and you can see where all the money has gone, Fancy Homes, Boats, Cars, Motorcycles, Water toys, and now the Americans are broke, now lets look at Government, Fancy streets with trees down the center and curbing that looks like a ghost town, and nothing repaired, Death circles at intersections that slow down Emergency Vehicles and Trucks that can barely get around them to make delivers, bigger and bigger highway for what YUPPIES farther away from where the work, there is a lot that can be said, but all in all this all takes money that this Country does not have, for one reason, people are not working to pay taxes, and a lot of money goes out of this country as foreign aid when we can’t even take care of our own.

The war had divided the American people, and at home and abroad it seemed everyone was lambasting the United States. Outraged by what he saw and heard that morning, in his noon-hour broadcast, Sinclair rose to the defense of the American people - and his voice was heard around the world.]

Special interests gave millions to budget panel

By JACK GILLUM, Associated Press
THURSDAY  Aug 11, 2011

The 12 lawmakers appointed to a new congressional supercommittee charged with tackling the nation’s fiscal problems have received millions in contributions from special interests with a direct stake in potential cuts to federal programs, an Associated Press analysis of federal campaign data has found.

The newly appointed members — six Democrats and six Republicans — have received more than $3 million total during the past five years in donations from political committees with ties to defense contractors, health care providers and labor unions. That money went to their re-election campaigns, according to AP’s review.

Supporters say the lawmakers were picked for their integrity and experience with complicated budget matters. But their appointments already have prompted early concerns from campaign-finance

Federal Emergency Management Agency spokesman Bob Josephson said FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund is running low — down to between $800 million and $1 billion. When that happens, the agency focuses on immediate response, rather than long-term rebuilding. It also needs to ensure there’s enough money to respond to any other disasters that might occur this year, he said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s promise Thursday that everything in his jobs plan will be paid for rests on highly iffy propositions.

It will only be paid for if a committee he can’t control does his bidding, if Congress puts that into law and if leaders in the future — the ones who will feel the fiscal pinch of his proposals — don’t roll it back.

Underscoring the gravity of the nation’s high employment rate, Obama chose a joint session of Congress, normally reserved for a State of the Union speech, to lay out his proposals. But if the moment was extraordinary, the plan he presented was conventional Washington rhetoric in one respect: It employs sleight-of-hand accounting.

Boy just think how one-sided the Government is when it comes to the law of the land, it is all right for them to break the law that has been set down, but when it comes to any one else, it is illegal for any one else to break a law that is on the books, a good example of breaking the law is the illegals coming to this Country, is the Government enforcing the law there, NO, they are breaking a written law just like what they say the Cherokee nation is doing.

Is this not what a Dictator is, the law pertains to YOU not ME, so this gives them the right to break any law that they want, and it seem that this is what our Government is doing daily and saying you can not do as I do, but do as I say.

If this is the case of Slavery and the freedmen then why are they not going after white Decendants of slave owners and holding them to be responsible for support.

A report at the Atlantic Wire on the growing scandal surrounding Solyndra begins, to be a story about the difficulties of nurturing green businesses in a cutthroat economy.”

Can someone show me where the Constitution authorizes the federal government to “nurture green businesses in a cutthroat economy?” 

When is the free market not cut-throat?  That’s a feature, not a bug.  One of its advantages is that stupid business plans get their throats cut, and die.  By contrast, there seems to be no way to stop President Obama from throwing billions of taxpayer dollars into “green energy” rat holes.  Even as congressional hearings into the Solyndra disaster got under way, the Energy Department was announcing

It seems a little funny that two companies that just got out of bankruptcy can now start going after big Pay packages, where is the money that they were going to pay back to the Taxpayer, now if they PAID the taxpayers back, WHERE is the money?

Where is this money that were suppose to have paid back?

Is this money going to bail out companies, or to help more file for BANKRUPTCY?

DETROIT (Reuters) – General Motors Co and the United Auto Workers union reached a proposed contract for about 48,500 production workers that would create new U.S. factory jobs and include profit-sharing bonuses.

The proposed contract, which must be ratified by rank-and-file workers, represents the first since U.S. taxpayers bailed out GM and Chrysler Group LLC in 2009.

Details of the tentative deal reached late on Friday were being withheld until it could be reviewed by UAW officials from around the country at a meeting set for Tuesday in Detroit.

Tax Hike For Who, and Cuts for Who?

By Bob L.
Sun.09 18 2011

Now why would any one want to stop a tax increase on the Rich, is it because all those over under Educated Idiots in D.C. all make over ONE MILLION a year above what they get paid to do a job that they don’t have any Idea of what they are doing, other than Protecting the themselves and the rich.

The next thing that will probably come out of the White House is that the unions will get a big tax break, if you check you will see that the big companies are paying on average, wages over One Hundred Thousand a Year, and you hear Obama saying that he wants to give them a tax break, now people making this should not get a tax break, if they do then you can say that the Government is Discriminating against people living on poverty level and below, the tax cut should be Fifty Thousand a Year and under that should get the tax break.

I have tried to find where this free Country went after 1967, but every time I look at the paper or turn on the Television, all I see or hear about this is the Wealthy getting away with breaking the law that us poor FOLKS go to jail for, a good example Shop Lifting, Drunk Driving, Hit and Run, Drug Possession, and there is more that the law turns their back on when it comes to the RICH, NOW where is this free Country when it comes to the law, and who controls it.

Set their wages at FIFTY  THOUSAND a YEAR to do the job, and they have to pay for every thing else, just like the American people do, Americans don’t get a free ride, they should not be able to either.

THEY ARE NOT THINKING ABOUT THE PEOPLE, THEY ARE ONLY WORRIED ABOUT GETTING ELECTED, OR REELECTED, THEY WILL LIE ABOUT WHAT EVER YOU WANT THEM TO LIE TO YOU ABOUT.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama, in a populist gesture designed to appeal to voters, will propose a “Buffett Tax” on people making more than $1 million a year as part of his deficit recommendations to Congress on Monday.

Such a proposal, among suggestions to a congressional Super Committee expected to seek up to $3 trillion in deficit savings over 10 years, would appeal to his Democratic base ahead of the 2012 election but likely not raise much in revenues.

The Return of the Robber Barons

The robber barons are back. Washington is replaying That ’70s Show—that 1870s show. The liberals who warned us against the crony capitalists in history books are the crony capitalists in front of us.

Little did we know that green jobs referenced dollars and not the environment. Holding a half-billion-dollar note on bankrupt Solyndra tends to spark such epiphanies.

How could we have been so green?

Administration darling Solyndra never turned a profit in its six or so years of existence. The Freemont, California-based company lost more than $232 million in the year leading up to the Obama administration’s decision to

HOW MANY JOBS AMERICAN, How Many Jobs Foreign????.

If 75 to 80% of the products come out of other countries, then the only  people who will get work will be ones that already have jobs.

Has any one heard Obama mention that little fact that about 75 to 80% of the materials will not be made here in the states, look at the track record when it comes to jobs, these are some of the jobs that he let go to other places, not here, and Obama makes the statement BUY AMERICAN, does he forget that he was one of them in Washington DC at the time that these companies left, or force were forced to leave over high TAXES.

By most accounts, President Obama gave a fiery speech at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s annual awards dinner in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, telling blacks to “quit crying and complaining” and support him in the fight for jobs, according to the Associated Press. But was the AP transcription of Obama’s remarks racist?

That’s the subject currently being debated after the issue was raised on Chris Hayes’ MSNBC show on Sunday.

On MSNBC, the African-American author Karen Hunter complained the news service transcribed Obama’s speech without cleaning it up as other outlets did–specifically including the “dropped g’s.”

INSIDE WASHINGTON: ‘Zombie’ program cuts deficit

10/09/2011

It is amazing how much the Government covers up and most of the American people don’t care, just as long as it does not take it away from them, but the problem is it is taking it away from them in many ways, this is because every time the Government tell you that they are going broke, it is because they are taking the money and putting an IOU in and then telling you that it is going broke so they don’t have to replace it, just like they are doing to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, and what ever they don’t want you to know.

This also for these programs, the money would be there if they were not stealing it and sending it to other countries and their favorite programs to keep the YUPPIES happy.

Here is just one comment:

So much for a President that wants to creat jobs, he is nothing more than a Tax and Spend, Ooooh that is exactly what he called Bush, Oooh gee the dirty pot calling the kettle dirtier, or is it the other way around.

Is Obama really trying to create jobs, OR is he more interested in getting a Second Term, and the hell with the American people, and telling them to get off their ASS and get a job so he has more money to spend.

Obama says that Military and small piston plane are exempt, but how about Air Force One and all the planes that go with it are all private and should be classified as Corporate Jets, and taxed as so.

Under Obama, we have Auto, Banks, Healthcare, now Airlines, and what ever I am forgetting, it is time to CAN, DUMP, THROW OUT, what ever you call it, this DICTATOR and his CZARS before they Owns every thing and we can’t get away from their Control of America.

Does any one have any idea why so many are unemployed or can’t get equal pay or pay higher than minimum or like the politicians that you elected??????

These people don’t care about whether you have a job or not, because as long as they are making so much money out side of their job as a Politician in Government, plus a SIX Figure Salary.

There are Politicians and Teachers who talk big about how they are for our Children, if this is the case then why are our kids getting farther behind in Education today, think about it, it is all talk and no walk, the same thing is taught every year in Education, there is no teaching, just Striking, and there is so much testing going on that where is the learning. 

Then you here them telling every one that they can’t live on what they make as an Elected Official and need a raise even though they make Six Figured pay a year with 9 to 15% automatic pay increase plus cost of living, wouldn’t it be nice if ALL Americans could get on the job pay like this every year with all the same pay and benefits they get.

And now we have people who are getting this type of wages and want more with disregard the people who are lucky to get paid minimum wage or some are lucky if they can get 25 hours work a week.

Here are just some that are inconsiderate of others, where do you start, I will start with Politicians, then you have, Unions, Teachers (a good examples this year in Tacoma Wa.), Corporate Executives (who get big pay and bonuses), Auto workers (big pay and medical), the list goes on and on, but the people who are not as lucky, have to clean up after the GREEDY by paying higher Rents, Food, Gas, Heating, Electricity, Water, Sewer, Buying a car, Buying clothes, going out at least once a month, and this is after taxes. All these prices go up every time the cost of living goes up every time wages go up.

Do we need a President that won’t take responsibility for why Unemployed keeps growing?

Do we need a President that won’t listen to any one but Democrats?

Do we need a President that keeps putting down the American People?

Do we need a President who is more interested in Foreign Countries then the U.S.

Do we need a President and Government that is more interested in saving their own jobs then getting jobs back into America?

Immelt  is a top adviser to U.S. President Barack Obama on jobs and the economy.) he is just one of Obama’s Czars that is running this Country while Obama is trying to get Reelected, but that is all he has done since he was elected in 2009.

Obama administration assumes that College is the answer, but how many college Grads have gotten a job out of College, and how many jobs require a college degree in manufacturing. Insert: (“Unemployment is 9.1 percent. Underemployment is much higher than that, particularly among young people that don’t have a college degree,” ) Stop trying to blow smoke up every ones ass.

This the only thing I have heard or seen about Obama’s job plan, Insert: ( Senate Democrats planned action first on a longshot plan to help states hire teachers, police and firefighters.) this has nothing to do with the rest of Americas looking for a jobs.

Insert: (Obama is pitching a $35 billion proposal of aid to states, one slice of his overall bill.) Look who it is going to, and just think where it will end up??

I can go on, but as it stands, the news media is doing their best to sway voters to Obama any way they can, the Republicans are not the only problem in Washington DC, Democrats are just as guilty, but not according to the news media and Obama and his Democrats, and Czars.

Obama will always blame Republicans, because he 500% Democrat, and according to them they do nothing wrong, well it is the Democrats that took us where we are now, HOW, if you look back you will see that the Democrats were in control for TWO years while Bush was in Office, or don’t you want to remember, so now it is all Obama and the Democrats problem along with his Czars NOW.

WHY are Unemployment benefits so important to increase I thought JOBS were Important, and why has it taken so long to get these jobs going, lets see Obama said that if we bailed out BIG BUSINESS there would be lots of jobs, WHERE are they, all I see is a lot of smoke coming out of Washington DC, but still no jobs, are they just blowing smoke out of their ass, it seems there is a lot of that the last TEN YEARS, for what, so they can line their pockets.

This is sounding just like the doctors today, go home and take these TEN pills and call me just before you DIE, then we will see if the pills did this to you, don’t worry about the side affects they won’t hurt you, but if they do, we had nothing to do with it.

Government and Doctors I think go hand in hand, TAKE TWO PILLS AND CALL ME IN A WEEK AND WE WILL SEE IF THERE IS ANY CHANGE, in the mean time thing get worse and all they can say is sorry, but we have a jobs and weekly pay, why don’t you, it’s not our fault, it is just you are too lazy to get out and find a job.

This is going over board, when this goes into effect, HOW many more Jobs will be lost, and Obama says he is for putting people back to work,  this is just the opposite, and what say that these companies pack their bags and go South or East and tell the U.S. Government to go to hell.

If this does happen and businesses do not start standing up against the Obama Family and tell they are not going to do it, and if they push it then push back, sue all who are involved with this take over of any more Companies.

With what is going on in this Country is call Treason because they are braking just about every law of the Constitution, this is getting to sound more like Hitler has come back to life, or a reincarnation, where the government is fleecing the American people

People had better get off their ass and take this Country back before it is too late, if not already, Obama and his Czars are taking over this Country more and more every day and these YUPPIES YES YUPPIES, Rich, Special Interest Groups, and Consumer Groups are helping them get away with it, IT IS TIME TO BECOME AN AMERICAN CITIZEN and take this Country back.

Obama already has Control of the Banks, Auto makers, Wall Street, the Law and Lawyers, the Courts, the Airlines, Schools, and Unions, and if things keep going he will have control of the states, and there is probably more that we don’t know about yet.

CLOSER TO A DEPRESSION THEN YOU THINK AS LONG AS HE IS IN OFFICE, FOUR MORE YEARS WILL DO IT.

Consumer groups stop being a CULT Leader and acting like Hitler, and let people live their own lives, it is not your place to tell others how to live, and we don’t need any more laws, you are no better than Church Groups that try shoving their crap down our throats, if you don’t  like it don’t buy it, stick with you drug over dose products, that is prescription drugs and all Alcoholic Beverages that you can’t do with out, kids see that and want to do it too, so you are nothing more than hypocrite, Racist, and Bigots, WHY do you think your kids are getting involved with drugs, they see you doing it, and Alcohol is a drug. If you say it will raise insurance cost, Bullshit, it is you, that want Face lifts, Tummy tucks, Butt lifts, Liposuction, you name it, and you want it, and a lot of this crap you want your insurance to pay has nothing to do with health, it all has to being vain and looking old, or just appearance, let’s get back to health, not Vain or Appearance Insurance.

GOP says Reid’s focus on government jobs is?

10/20/2011

Obama could care less about putting people back to work, unless you already have a job in public jobs like Teachers, Fire, and Police, fire and police are very important, but they are the first to be Laid Off, and with this, the Government think you will pass bonds to get more money they can spend unwisely.

WHEN are people going to remember that public Employees going to under stand that public Employees are nothing but PERPETUAL MOTION and can not sustain its motion with out added fuel, that added fuel is tax money, and that means you need outside money to build, and with out that you will eventually run out of money.

Obama’s Job Bill is nothing but Perpetual Motion, and problems are already starting to happen, lack of funds to keep this Country Going, so why do they think that Private Work Force is not Important, it is the Private Jobs that funds all Government Agencies, and with out Private jobs you have nothing to EXPORT to provide taxes to Operate on.

Just a few Examples of how teachers care about Educating our kids, Class Size Brings Strike by Teachers, how do you like the one NO TEACHER LEFT BEHIND, not NO kids left behind, this shows you how much Obama and the Teachers really care about Education.

Army’s Energy Awareness Month: Obama Outsourced Leadership, and Oil, in Libya War

By Rachel Marsden
10/23/2011

Because it’s the U.S. Army’s Energy Awareness Month, it may be a good time to remind President Obama of oil’s importance to economic security, and the role that wartime leadership and image play in getting your hands on it post-victory.  He can’t just quietly outsource and downplay war because it’s icky, then call dibs on victory, as he has just done with Libya.  Something has to give.

Here we go again 200% Democrat, 50% America

By Bob L.
10/25/2011

I have said along that the Democrats will do and say any thing they can to make the Republicans look like they are a do nothing branch of the Government, but if the truth were to get out you would see that they are doing the same thing as the Democrats are doing, stone walling, the one thing that they should be doing is getting this Country out of DEBT and stop all this in fighting, all they are doing is ACTING like kindergarten kids, or is that FIRST GRADERS.

When are the Elected people going to get through their head that ONCE they are elected, any PARTY Affiliations stops, their place is to keep this Country safe and learn to save, and not spend money on a whim, such as statues, Eyesores that they think look cute, and that has nothing to do with Safety, and FULL TIME jobs YEAR ROUND, and not just to line Friends Pockets.

The problem today is that you see YUPPIES who want every thing now no matter what the cost, ENVIRONMENTALIST who can’t see past their nose to see what they are doing to this Country without knowing what could happen for their action, then you have these people who won’t keep their nose out of other people lives acting like Government idiots who can’t even run their own lives.

Dems Blaming ‘Do-Nothing’ Congress on the Wrong Party

The White House says it’s doing all of the heavy lifting when it comes to legislative proposals to promote job growth, going as far as accusing Republicans of blocking President Obama’s ideas in a deliberate effort to see the economy fail.

“Nothing could be further from the truth,” said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R.-Ky.)  “Look, if Republicans wanted the economy to fail, we’d all line right up behind the President’s economic policies, rather than opposing them.”

Red Army: Obama the Tip of a Radical Network

By Bob L.
10/29/2011

I always like it when he stands up in front of every one with that pose thinking that his Shit does not stink.

We need a President who will spend more time in Washington DC and not flying all over the world making Americans look like stupid, and always looking to start a war.

It seem that he is more interested in taking over the world like Hitler, this we don’t need here, we need a Government that knows how to save money and build this Country with the American people not Lobbyists, Environmentalists, Special Interest Groups, and the rich out to line their pockets at the cost of the American people.

Red Army:  Obama the Tip of a Radical Network We Must Defeat to Save America

By Aaron Klein and Brenda Elliott
10/28/2011

Editor’s note: The following was adapted from the introduction to the new book, Red Army: The Radical Network That Must Be Defeated to Save America.

When Sen. Barack Obama, a few days before his inauguration as our 44th President, promised an adoring crowd “the fundamental transformation of the United States of America,” few realized that he was not speaking merely of himself or of his own role as the country’s incoming chief executive.  Behind the avatar of “hope and change” lay a left-wing “progressive” movement waiting to come to power.

Governments know how to cover up money, Yes or NO

By Bob L.
10/31/2011

Where is all that money that these states got from the tobacco industry law suit that was supposed to have gone into a health fund (general fund) to help the sick??????

Where has all this money gone that these states got from Obamas help the states and the rich??????, it sure did not help the people.

You can dig deep into a lot of these so-called money programs and see if they did go where they said they went and see if they really did end up there.

These Government Agencies know how to move money around to make it look like it went to the right place, even though it went to their pet programs, if you have not noticed Government Agencies are not very open to the Public, there is a lot of cover up.

Business Profits way up, Bonuses up, Pay up, People who make the product to provide an income for their families to have a place to live, well lets look at it this way, they are either lucky to have a roof over their heads or they are living on the street trying to find a job.

this money should not be used for private business, that is what the stock market is for, if the don’t have the money then they should not be in business, that money is supposed to be for public safety and health, and to help in retirement if a person does not have one. The problem today some have a Big Retirement and still gets Government money help to retire.

Obama health care law has unexpected beneficiaries

By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR – Associated Press
Thur.11-03-2011

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s health care law created a $5 billion fund to shore up coverage for early retirees, and some of that money is flowing to places you might not expect.

Two Texas public employee programs are among the top 25 recipients of the federal subsidy despite Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s opposition to the law Republicans derisively call “Obamacare.”

And records show the Huntsman family business, where GOP presidential candidate Jon Huntsman sharpened his executive skills, received about $1 million.

The FDA Kills

Tomorrow the Earth will end as we know it, 11-11-11, the next time it will end will be next year 12-12-12, then we don’t have to worry for another One Hundred Years. Goodbye all you lovely people, until then I will see you on Saturday all refreshed for another year, unless it does end, then goodbye, good knowing you all.

Life does end every day for some, year after year, that is what they call life’s cycle, no one can live forever, but the FDA helps it alone one way or another.

If 11-11-11, or 12-12-12 does not kill us, then I guess the FDA and all Government Agencies will.

They say that it might not work all the time, can you say that for these machines that you monitor, can you say that they will work all the time.

I just got out of the Hospital, while I was in there, my monitor got disconnected and it took them TEN MINUTES before they noticed it, what would happen if I needed them in that time period, so what is the difference, NOTHING is perfect, or 100% all the time.

It would be nice if politicians and regulators left us alone. But they don’t. They always want to do more. Recently, there have been shortages of some medicines. Cancer patients can’t get drugs they need. Why not?

One reason is that a big drugmaker shut down for a year in part to meet Food and Drug Administration rules. The FDA makes it so expensive and difficult to sell drugs that there isn’t an eager pack of companies rushing to the fill the gap. The free market would provide that, but government intervention, such as low Medicare reimbursement, strangles it. So people suffer.

The Alcoholics and the Winos show their colors, booze is now more available any where they go, and the State will walk away from it like they are doing every where else.

Are the going to walk away from what they are going to cause, more health problems, deaths, Accidents, Robberies, and Shop Lifting.

Now who gets to enforce the new law, Oh yea the ones who were laid off for lack of funds, and will be lucky to see any of that money that was promised to them if passed. It just like every thing else, money collected, General fund spends it at what ever they want, just like the lottery. 

Now what is the State going to do with the money from the people who are getting let go? REMEMBER FOR EVERY ACTION, THERE IS A REACTION, Just think of the fall out of more jobs, Now who is next, with the State going out of Business and privatizing every thing the State does, will it be the highway workers, State Weight Control, Unemployment Offices, Parks and Recreation, maybe the Washington State Patrol, with privatizing NO more State JOBS.

Obama’s Pipeline Punt Threatens 20,000 Jobs and More

By Bob L.
11-13-2011

 Imagine that, the people who are blocking job growth in this Country are people who depend on foreign money, that is what they live on, if this happens here then they will lose money, so if Government allows these jobs, that will cut into their comfortable income, is this why they don’t want them to pay the same taxes that the American middle and poor have to pay.

Check out the people who are trying to stop Job Growth in this Country and see what they have to gain by stopping jobs.

You see the rich get many, many more deductions on their taxes then the average American does.

This explains every thing, the Government Politicians, Environmentalist, Special Interest, and Lobbyist, don’t want to see jobs to start putting people to work here in this Country.

Key factions within the Democratic Party have been locked in a furious battle pitting jobs against the environment, with President Barack Obama in the hot seat to make the final call on a massive new pipeline project that also promises energy security.

The TransCanada Company wants to build the $13 billion Keystone XL pipeline to carry nearly 500,000 gallons of crude oil a day for consumption into the U.S.

Additionally, the project would create an estimated 20,000 jobs, plus another half a million indirect jobs within weeks of Obama’s approving the shovel-ready project, and bring hundreds of millions of dollars to local U.S. communities through property taxes.

FDA Kills Smokers, Kills More Then Smokers

By Bob L.
11/16/2011

FDA Kills Smokers, this is an under statement, FDA does more than that, read all side affects on prescription drugs, and see just how deadly these drugs really are, and the FDA is telling you that they are safe because they approved them, if you believe that then you deserve what you get.

If you read the information that you get when you get your prescriptions (or see on TV), see just how safe (or deadly) these drugs are, if you have not figured out by now what gets passed and what does not, then you do not read what you get, or you don’t care, or you think that they are trust worthy and are looking out for your best interest. BETTER LOOK AGAIN.

FDA passes products that give $$$$, and fails products that don’t give $$$$$.

Look at other things that can kill, Unleaded Gas, Diesel, Food, Water, TV, Sex, if you name it it will kill, but if it is approved by the FDA then it is safe, only if it is accompanied by $$$$$$.

your kids, it looks like before long you will go to jail because you or your family are to fat for the Obama’s because Americans embarrass them.
