So far the only thing he has improved in two and a half years is his golf game. Hows that Hope and Change working out for you, America? If Barack Obama thinks he has five and a half years left he is delusional. Do you remember Jimmy Carter?
“For eight years before we arrived in the West Wing, Mr. Boehner and his party ran the economy literally into the ground,” he said. “We’ve seen this movie before, Mr. Boehner. We’ve seen it before and we know how it ends.”
Joe, do you mean the movie where unemployment was only 5.5%? Was that the movie you were talking about?
Biden conceded that the economic recovery was not proceeding as fast as the administration had hoped, but claimed there was “no doubt we’re moving in the right direction.”
Right direction? What are you smoking, Joe? Up is Down, Wrong is Right, it’s Bizarro World and you are in charge. G_d help us!
Under your regimen, National Debt has doubled, we have double digit unemployment, 500,000 new jobless claims announced this week, the Dow Jones on the way to 5,000, and huge tax increases on the way for the producers. This can’t end well.
Never in the history of The United States has there been a more incompetent, crooked and immoral executive branch. In the last 2 years of the Bush Administration the Democrats were in charge of the legislature and single handedly destroyed The United States economy. AND! Democrats continue to destroy the economy at an accelerated rate. It appears deliberate and in my opinion borders on TREASON!
Obama - Missed the 100 Year Celebration of an American Institution
Obama gave up a once in 100 year opportunity to visit the Boy Scout Jamboree. Instead, he decides to appear on the TV show The View which appears 5 times a week.
Obama sends a Video that is soundly booed, and rightly so!
But neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt. He therefore is the truest friend to the liberty of his country who tries most to promote its virtue, and who, so far as his power and influence extend, will not suffer a man to be chosen into any office of power and trust who is not a wise and virtuous man.
CLASS is a new long-term-care insurance program that was inserted into Obamacare so that Congress could raid its $70 billion surplus through 2020 to cover Obamacare’s initial deficits. Like the raided Social Security trust fund, future taxpayers will have to repay that $70 billion with interest when the program falls into deficit later.
“a Ponzi scheme of the first order, the kind of thing that Bernie Madoff would have been proud of.”
Thus, even Sen. Kent Conrad (D., N.D.) admits that Congress has enacted “a Ponzi scheme of the first order, the kind of thing that Bernie Madoff would have been proud of.”
Just another reason Obamacare needs to be repealed, CLASS is another entitlement that America can’t afford.
Who knew laws would be abrogated, criminals rewarded and riches absconded? Who knew centuries old jurisprudence & Constitutional provisions would be discarded as mere inconveniences which were preventing rewarding cronies & political supporters?
dupes, rubes & dopes (um, that would be most of us), made the fatal mistake of bringing a knife to a gun-fight. Never, ever apply logic & fundamental reasoning skills in an environment where the thugs control all the cards.
I’ve learned my lesson - how many others have learned theirs?
Too often, much of late, the last couple three years, the mal-distribution of income in American is gone up way too much, the wealthy are getting way, way too wealthy and the middle income class is left behind,” he said. “Wages have not kept up with increased income of the highest income in America. This legislation will have the effect of addressing that mal-distribution of income in America.
America didn’t surrender to Kaiser in World War 1.
We didn’t surrender to Hitler in World War II.
We didn’t surrender to the Soviets during the Cold War.
Why then would America surrender to the Democrats?
Democrats are the enemy of America and Obamacare is the first shot in the War Against America.
Anyone with a (D) by their name is our enemy. They hate what America is and they are willing to destroy our nation in order to make it into their vision of what they think America should be. They have to be stopped.
What was done to America this past Sunday was the last straw. IF WE DON’T STOP THEM NOW WE MAY NOT GET ANOTHER CHANCE.
On the cusp of succeeding where numerous past congresses and administrations have failed, jubilant House Democrats voted 219-212 late Sunday to send legislation to Obama that would extend coverage to 32 million uninsured Americans, reduce deficits and ban insurance company practices such as denying coverage to people with pre-existing medical conditions.
‘This is what change looks like,” Obama said later in televised remarks that stirred memories of his 2008 campaign promise of “change we can believe in.’
‘We proved that this government — a government of the people and by the people — still works for the people.’
‘This is what change looks like’
‘We proved that this government — a government of the people and by the people — still works for the people.’
Social Security and Medicare are flat broke and now the Democrats want to create another entitlement program that we can’t afford.
The majority of Americans don’t want it but they are going to force it on us any way. This is what the face of tyranny looks like and it is not going to go well.
I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
The Democrats are assaulting the very pillars of our democracy. As the debate on Obamacare reaches the long, painful end, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is confronting a political nightmare. She may not have the 216 votes necessary to pass the Senate’s health care bill in the House
Hence, Mrs. Pelosi and her congressional Democratic allies are seriously considering using a procedural ruse to circumvent the traditional constitutional process. Led by Rep. Louise M. Slaughter, New York Democrat and chairman of the House Rules Committee, the new plan - called the “Slaughter Solution” - is not to pass the Senate version on an up-or-down vote. Rather, it is to have the House “deem” that the legislation was passed and then have members vote directly on a series of “sidecar” amendments to fix the things it does not like.
The Slaughter Solution is a poisoned chalice. By drinking from it, the Democrats would not only commit political suicide. They would guarantee that any bill signed by Mr. Obama is illegitimate, illegal and blatantly unconstitutional. It would be worse than a strategic blunder; it would be a crime - a moral crime against the American people and a direct abrogation of the Constitution and our very democracy.
‘It would open Mr. Obama, as well as key congressional leaders such as Mrs. Pelosi, to impeachment.’
It would open Mr. Obama, as well as key congressional leaders such as Mrs. Pelosi, to impeachment. The Slaughter Solution would replace the rule of law with arbitrary one-party rule. It violates the entire basis of our constitutional government - meeting the threshold of “high crimes and misdemeanors.” If it’s enacted, Republicans should campaign for the November elections not only on repealing Obamacare, but on removing Mr. Obama and his gang of leftist thugs from office.
The president will refuse to make fund-raising visits during November elections to any district whose representative has not backed the bill.
A one-night presidential appearance can bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars in funds which would otherwise take months to accumulate through cold-calling by campaign volunteers.
Mr Obama’s threat came as the year-long debate over his signature domestic policy entered its final week.
Mr Obama is personally telephoning congressmen who are still on the fence this week, in between several personal appearances devoted toward swinging public opinion.
‘The president will refuse to make fund-raising visits during November elections’
With a threat like that maybe a bunch of Democrats will vote against Obamacare. Real smart Mr. President.
The Obama administration will accept no more public input for a federal strategy that could prohibit U.S. citizens from fishing the nation’s oceans, coastal areas, Great Lakes, and even inland waters.
This announcement comes at the time when the situation supposedly still is “fluid” and the Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force still hasn’t issued its final report on zoning uses of these waters.
‘Lubchenco and others in the administration have close ties to environmental groups who would like nothing better than to ban recreational angling.’
Led by NOAA’s Jane Lubchenco, the task force has shown no overt dislike of recreational angling, but its indifference to the economic, social and biological value of the sport has been deafening.
Additionally, Lubchenco and others in the administration have close ties to environmental groups who would like nothing better than to ban recreational angling. And evidence suggests that these organizations have been the engine behind the task force since before Obama issued a memo creating it last June.
In America there is an estimated 60 Million Anglers, (Sport Fishermen). Imagine the jobs lost if fishing across The United States was banned? Your rights taken away with the stroke of President Obama’s pen.
It is a universal political truth that administrations do not begin to fragment when things are going well: it only happens when they go badly, and those who think they know better begin to attack those who manifestly do not. The descent of Barack Obama’s regime, characterised now by factionalism in the Democratic Party and talk of his being set to emulate Jimmy Carter as a one-term president, has been swift and precipitate.
‘The magnificent campaign created the notion that Mr Obama could walk on water. Oddly enough, he can’t.’
The root of the problem seems to be the management of expectations. The magnificent campaign created the notion that Mr Obama could walk on water. Oddly enough, he can’t. That was more Mr Axelrod’s fault than Mr Emanuel’s. And, to be fair to Mr Emanuel, any advice he has been giving the President to impose his will on Congress is probably well founded. The $783 billion stimulus package of a year ago was used to further the re-election prospects of many congressmen, not to do good for the country. America’s politics remain corrupt, populated by nonentities whose main concern once elected is to stay elected; it seems to be the same the whole world over. Even this self-interested use of the stimulus package appears to have failed, however. Every day, it seems, another Democrat congressman announces that he will not be fighting the mid-term elections scheduled for November 2.
The Obama administration is weighing how the government can encourage workers to turn their savings into guaranteed income streams following a collapse in retiree accounts when the stock market plunged.
The U.S. Treasury and Labor Departments will ask for public comment as soon as next week on ways to promote the conversion of 401(k) savings and Individual Retirement Accounts into annuities or other steady payment streams, according to Assistant Labor Secretary Phyllis C. Borzi and Deputy Assistant Treasury Secretary Mark Iwry, who are spearheading the effort…
BusinessWeek reports that the Treasury and Labor departments are asking for public comment on “the conversion of 401(k) savings and Individual Retirement Accounts into annuities or other steady payment streams.”
In plain English, the idea is for the government to take your retirement savings in return for a promise to pay you some monthly benefit in your retirement years.
They will tell you that you are ‘investing’ your money in U.S. Treasury bonds. But they will use your money immediately to pay for their unprecedented trillion-dollar budget deficits, leaving nothing to back up their political promises, just as they have raided the Social Security trust funds.
This ‘conversion’ may start out as an optional choice, though you are already free to buy Treasury bonds whenever you want. But as Karl Denninger of the Market Ticker Web site reports: ‘Choices’ have a funny way of turning into mandates, and this looks to me like a raw admission that Treasury knows it will not be able to sell its debt in the open market—so they will effectively tax you by forcing your retirement money to buy them.’
This is just the latest chapter in what is developing into a war by the left on America’s seniors. All that class-war rhetoric about “the rich” ends up targeting seniors, who tend to have accumulated the most in savings and investment on average because they have been around the longest.
Gingrich concludes…
Congressional Republicans should introduce legislation to block the government from ever proceeding with anything like this. Call it the ‘Keep Your Hands Off My 401(k) Act of 2010.’
The Democrat and Republicans In Name Only, (RINO)s, have lost touch with the American People. They have become the political elite and We the People have become "fly-over country." I am not a Nazi, a terrorist, a member of the KKK, a racist, or a member of an angry mob. I'm not a birther, teabagger, truther or astroturfer. I do, however believe in the original intent of the Founding Fathers, the United States Constituton and the rule of law. I believe that Government should serve the People, not the other way around. I’m an American and conservative to my very core.
