Medicare was not discussed during the Supreme Court arguments, since it was not a Constitutional issue. This is a practical argument, not a legal one; it’s the Obama administration applying pressure to the Supremes. It appears that the Obama Administration will stop at nothing to force their agenda on the American People. Where is the balance of powers guaranteed by the Constitution? The Executive branch threatening the Judicial branch? In my lifetime, which spans 11 presidential terms, I have never witnessed such arrogance and abuse of power.

The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.  Joseph Goebbels 2012-04-14T11:52:42+00:00 http://www.americanpoliticalorphan.com/index.php/site/holder_brainwash_people_against_guns/ http://www.americanpoliticalorphan.com/index.php/site/holder_brainwash_people_against_guns/#When:20:07:04Z From Breitbart.com - Holder 1995: We Must ‘Brainwash’ People Against Guns Breitbart.com has uncovered video from 1995 of then-U.S. Attorney Eric Holder announcing a public campaign to “really brainwash people into thinking about guns in a vastly different way.” Local political leaders and celebrities, Holder said, including Mayor Marion Barry and Jesse Jackson, had been asked to help. In addition, he reported, he had asked the local school board to make the anti-gun message a part of “every day, every school, and every level.” Maybe this explains how a 4 year old can draw a picture of a gun and Dad is arrested and charged with a crime, Reckon? See the original video here. 2012-03-18T20:07:04+00:00 http://www.americanpoliticalorphan.com/index.php/site/obamas_hocus_pocus/ http://www.americanpoliticalorphan.com/index.php/site/obamas_hocus_pocus/#When:22:36:58Z President Obama announced plans to release oil from the strategic reserves to lower gasoline prices. What’s the difference between more oil from the strategic reserves and “Drill Baby, Drill?” Both methods would increase the oil supply. So I ask, “whats the difference Mr. President?” Just more Hocus Pocus from the Crap Talker In Chief.

But Obama was not always so worried about misspellings and radical resemblances. He may even have cultivated them as he cast himself as Chicago’s radical champion. In 1998, a small Chicago theater company staged a play titled The Love Song of Saul Alinsky, dedicated to the life and politics of the radical community organizer whose methods Obama had practiced and taught on Chicago’s South Side. Obama was not only in the audience, but also took the stage after one performance, participating in a panel discussion that was advertised in the poster for the play. As promised by Andrew Brietbart at CPAC.  Described as “a story that should swing the first hammer against the glass wall the mainstream media has built around Barack Obama.” The Vetting of Barack Obama begins now.

The rest of the article is here. Of course Obama is blaming Republicans for higher gas prices? High gas prices are part of Obama’s plan. Wake up America. I thought Jimmy Carter created the Department of Energy to make America energy independant. Apparently that was not the purpouse or we would have been energy independant long ago. What do we have to show for this 100 Billion dollar a year beureacracy?
