  • Rep. Rick Crawford, a freshman Republican from Arkansas, has drafted a letter calling on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., to resign, citing what he calls Reid's "reckless, partisan strategy of shutting down the government."

    "With all due respect, if you do not plan to fulfill your responsibilities as Senate Majority Leader, perhaps it is time to step aside," Crawford writes in the letter.

    House Republicans are engaged in a budget battle with Senate Democrats as a government shutdown looms Friday if the two sides can't come together on a long-term spending plan or another continuing resolution to keep the federal government operating."

  • This is the Lawyer for the Teachers Union, he publicly states what his NEA Union is all about, Money and Power.

    "General Counsel Bob Chanin explains to NEA convention why Big Labor is so powerful:

    "Despite what some among us would like to believe it is not because of our creative ideas; it is not because of the merit of our positions; it is not because we care about children; and it is not because we have a vision of a great public school for every child."
    "The NEA and its affiliates are effective advocates because we have power. And we have power because there are more than 3.2 million people who are willing to pay us hundreds of million of dollars in dues each year because they believe that we are the unions that can most effectively represent them; the union that can protect their rights and advance their interests as education employees."

  • The Truth and Facts are; Federal Employees cannot bargain for wages or benefits.

    Where is the Outrage?

    We are witnessing protesters in Wisconsin and Indiana with signs and outrage for changes in their states collective bargaining. Senators of these states are AWOL, they have fled their jobs and are in hiding to circumvent any voting on legislation that would address their states and the unions.

    Federal Employees do not have the union collective bargaining privileges of those in a state like Wisconsin. The facts are clear that in 1978 Democratic President Jimmy Carter, backed by his Democratic Congress, passed the Civil Service Reform Act. This was applauded by President Carter as a campaign promise to give "muscle" to ensure the "public's work gets done" when he pushed the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 into Law on October 13, 1978. This Democratic President Jimmy Carter his "aim is to build a new system of excellence and accountability"

    So, Federal Employees lost their collective bargaining rights through the Democrats for "excellence and accountability"?

    Where is the outrage for President Jimmy Carter and his Democrat Congress removing the collective bargaining rights and the union access?

    President Obama stated he wanted the state employees to be honored and in his campaign he stated he would walk the protestor line with the unions?

  • There were schools that were closed in Wisconsin when Teachers called en-mass for a "sick out" or work stoppage to protest for their Union.

    Many parents were now faced with an emergency of what they were going to do, their child was to be in school and was not sick, the parent could not get a sick note to be away from their employment to care for their child.

    Who is responsible for the loss of wages or loss of employment of the parents who had the emergency of those teachers who called in "sick" to protest for their Union.

    Will there be any law suits if some of these parents lost their jobs or their children were compromised for the irresponsible actions of the fraud "sick out"?

    Who would be responsible if any of these parents who were inconvenienced or may have lost wages or maybe a job due to the teachers who closed schools in Wisconsin?

    These teachers in Wisconsin cannot strike, it is against the law.

    They just called in "sick" and closed the schools.

    How many children were left to fend for themselves, or parents, or single Moms who did not have any options but to lose wages or possibly a new job for these teachers who fraudulently called in sick and closed their schools to protest for their Union?

    Who would have legal responsibility?

    The Teachers or their Union?

    What do you think?

  • There are many Teachers who are breaking their Teacher contract by not showing up for work (closing some schools) and using fraudulent doctors notes which states they are sick. It is in their Contract they cannot fraudulently claim to be sick to be available to protest in the streets.

    These teachers are being paid sick leave to protest in the street, they are paid with Tax Dollars, Federal, State, your Tax Dollars.

    Some teachers have brought their students to protest with them.

    There is video evidence of columnist like Josiah Cantrell who was advised at WI Union Headquarters where to go for a fraudulent doctor's note to get paid sick leave and protest against Governor Walker.

    There were several licensed doctors and other nursing staff in the midst of the screaming protestors who helped develop ailment excuses and fraudulent doctors notes so these State employees can be paid sick leave while they protest for their Union.

    What do you think; should these State employees be paid with Tax Dollars under fraudulent sick notes while they scream and waive furiously in a Union Protest?

    I think it is an abuse of Tax Dollars and their should be an Investigation into the State employees who are being paid under false documentation, they are obviously not sick as they are screaming, some waiving scandalous Vitriol and running with no physical impairments.

    I recall a case where an employee claimed to be ill and receiving Worker's Compensation Benefits until they posted a picture of themselves on a Social Network showing themselves in a nightclub dancing lively and drinking. This person was then denied benefits and brought up on charges for fraud.

    Is this Right, these Teachers are expecting to be paid for sick leave while they are yukking it up for the media to protest for their Union?

    Is it fraud of Tax Dollars and their Teacher contract to not work and receive sick pay while they protest for their Union benefits?

    What does this behavior teach their students?

    Should this be a serious issue to fraudulently be paid sick leave to physically protest in the streets for the media?

    What do you think?

  • President Obama has appointed Chairman Jeffrey Imman to be the Economic advisor. He has a full time job as Chairman of GE. The US had secretly Bailed Out GE, it is the most commonly held stock by members of Congress?

    President Obama officially appointed Chairman Immelt to the position while he toured a GE plant in Schenectady, New York. Immelt will head the new President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, which Obama has signed into creation during the tour.

    Jeffrey Immelt, the CEO and chairman of General Electric, is named as chair of the new economic recovery board, according to the White House.

    President Obama said his "experience at GE and his understanding of the vital role the private sector plays in creating jobs and making America competitive makes him up to the challenge of leading this new Council."

    The new board will replace the President’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board that was created in 2009 and is set to shut down on Feb. 6, 2011. It will "focus on finding new ways to promote growth by investing in American business to encourage hiring, to educate and train our workers to compete globally, and to attract the best jobs and businesses to the United States."

    What? The Fedeal Gov had to bail GE out? Should this guy be advising US Economically when the company he ran failed?

    The Federal Gov Secretly bailed out GE, the GE stock is the most commony held stock by members of Congress?

    Do you think we should have this Chairman of GE who is already the Boss of GE full time as the head of an Economic Recovery Board? This man was the Chairman since 2001, the company had to be Bailed Out? How good is his advice for US?

    What do you think?

  • I am from a large family. One of my female family members were tragically murdered while she was trying to make a living to raise her five children. She had been strangled, bludgeoned with a Sport Trophy and then her throat was cut.

    The shooting of a Congresswoman and those others by the madman shooter in Arizona brought the senseless loss of life by a madman back like a flash, this madman was someone who did not care about another human being or the sacredness of their life. Our family, like the Arizona victim's family will never be the same.

    Murder is murder, for those of us survivors of the victims of a senseless taking of a life.

    The man did not come to justice for many years who commited the heinous act against our loved one. The police never stopped pursuing the murderer and even those who had retired never for our family member or her death. It took many years and their persistence finally put the killer in jail.

    The laws of our land is that as an American you are innocent until "proven" guilty. We were told that to bring this case to court they would have to follow the laws of evidence and this murderer has rights. We understood and finally Justice was served, the man who took a life was in jail and off the streets.

    The Sheriff of that county may have been an elected official but he was there to protect and to serve no matter what political party you may be supported by.

    I have held an office and been an elected official. I have never known any Sheriff who used political rants in a review of a murder scene, let alone when he did not know the name of the shooter.

    To use a tragedy of loss of life for political rants does not serve justice or those survivors or victims. We now know the shooter was thrown out of his Pima Arizona College for his scary and threatening behavior. We now know he had an obsession with Congresswoman Giffords and kept a letter from her in 2007, many years prior to the Tea Party or before Sarah Palin came upon the national political scene as a Vice Presidential Candidate in 2008. We know he has a video calling his college a "Genocide" in America. We now know he had said the students there were "tortured" and they "illiterate". His friend stated he never watched the news, he did not listen to talk radio and he was registered as an "Independent" and did not even Vote. Laughner had girl students go to the school and asked them to remove him. He also had a site which displayed his favorite books to be Hitler's "Mein Kamph" and also the book "The Communist Manifesto". The shooter also did not want the words "In God We Trust" printed on US money. The shooter had a shrine with a "skull" in his back yard. These books and his choice of literature is certainly not consistent with the members of the Tea Party or those on the Right.

    Should political opinions be used without substantiation in our legal investigations and reporting to the Press?

    Jeff Fuller, a victim of the shooter in Arizona has taken a picture of a member of the Tea Party in a public forum and said "You're Dead". Fuller is known as a "Liberal" and he has been arrested for his threat.

  • This incident of a Representative in Congress who was shot with others in Arizona has brought forward the argument that those who publicly promote Vitriol remarks; our former President Bush has been the target for years of hate speech.

    There was a movie called The Green Zone which promoted that the former President of the United States criminally attacked another country for oil and money. It is also known as the "Bush lied" movie.

    The former White House Green Czar Van Jones signed a petition that our former President Bush was behind the killing of over 3000 Americans and others on 9/11/2001.

    These Vitriol public documents and monies for this Conspiracy Theory against our former President Bush are substantial, this incident brings forth the question, should the FBI investigate those who promote these Vitriol accusations of criminal intent against President Bush? Should these consistent attacks against President Bush be investigated and the news commenters who promote them?

    Should the FBI investigate the consistent Vitriol attacks against our former President Bush and these attacks?

  • Democrat House/Senate/White House and STILL no Budget as required by Law.

    Two years to work on expiring Bush Tax Cuts, NO Bipartisan again, Pelosi not working for Economy, push Green bills or else?

    Two years of Speaker Pelosi pushing through Unread Unconstitutional health care, Unread Jobless Stimulus strong armed Left Democrat agenda, now NO work at all, NO working with President Obama, the Left Agenda that was Voted out in this Medterm Election, the "shellacking".

    Should this woman be PAID for making an Unworking House? Should she be Impeached? We need a Bipartisan working House and Senate.

    It is about the Economy and no jobs, not about the green bill? More arm twisting from Pelosi and the Democrats, STILL NO jobs.

    Should we pay for this woman to mess with US, should she be Impeached by the new House.

    Dem Majority Speaker of the House is causing division and claims NO Bipartisan government, it is more of the last two years.

    Should we continue to pay for the small percentage of the Left to run the House.

    Should Nancy Pelosi be paid for pushing our government to a screaming mess House with cursing the "F" word at Pres Obama?

    I think she should be Impeached.

    We the People deserve more for our money.

  • I think it is significant that the Left and their Democrats Rep Nancy Pelosi and Rep Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have turned on their President when the people wanted Bipartisan agreement? Pres Obama responded and worked forward on an agreement.

    Should the small faction of the Left make the policy for the President?

    I see vitriol treatment of the President when they say "No" Bipartisan effort, just push through the "Left" agenda...

    What do you think? Does the small percentage of "Lefts" make the decision for all of US?

    We see their true face of the Left, Pelosi + Reid snarling at the President when he tries to work with those who the people voted into office.

    I think the President is trying to make progress with those who the people put into their seats.

    Is the "Left" + Democrats Majority House Leader Pelosi and Senate House Leader Harry Reid right in dumping their fellow Democrat President?

    I do not think so. We see just how willing these vitriol noise makers act when you want to work Bipartisan for the best of the people.

    I think the President tried to make an agreement of Bipartisan effort and he should be commended.

  • We have been in two wars. The Secret and Unauthorized documents that are posted on the Wikileaks cite were obtained illegally. Some of these documents are Classified and there is evidence that one of the sources who leaked the documents were against our policies in the wars?

    Is this a crime of Espionage or Treason?

    The one person linked to some of the links had been a PFC in our military.

    What do you think?

    This is not the first leak, is this too little too late for this Obama Administration?

    Does the "risk" management of Hilliary Clinton speech make it all ok now? Is this just embarassing or do we the people have a problem?

    Are the Democrats who are against the war posting these leaks?

  • Bart Stupak has decided to retire.
    Article in part

    Michigan Rep. Bart Stupak, the congressman who led anti-abortion rights Democrats in the House during health care negotiations, will retire this year, CBS News has learned. He is expected to announce his plans later today.

    Had Stupak sought re-election, he would have faced challengers from both the left and the right backed by interest groups angered by Stupak's health care vote.

    That prompted the conservative Tea Party Express to launch a $250,000 ad campaign against Stupak this week. The group also scheduled a handful of stops on its bus tour in Stupak's district. "

  • After almost a year of No Bipartisan Republican health reform, there is No Bipartisan bill offered by Obama.. Republicans are not encouraged.

    Article in part..

    "President Obama is inviting Republicans to join him in a live-broadcast health care summit, but the GOP is offering little flexibility in terms of compromise. And while the administration is emphasizing its interest in bipartisanship, conservative commentators are skeptical the summit later this month will amount to much more than a dog and pony show.

    In an interview with CBS News' Katie Couric on Sunday, Mr. Obama said, "I want to ask them to put their ideas on the table, and then... I want to come back and have a large meeting, the Republicans and Democrats, to go through systematically all the best ideas that are out there and move it forward."

    The White House has said the president has no intention of scrapping the Democrats' current health care bills after meeting with Republicans on Feb. 25, but GOP leaders are suggesting that is the only way they would get on board with any reform effort.

    "If we are to reach a bipartisan consensus, the White House can start by shelving the current health spending bill," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said.

    "The best way to start on real, bipartisan reform would be to scrap those bills," House Minority Leader John Boehner said, the Washington Post reports.

    House Republican whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) had a similar response: "Unless the President and Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi are willing to scrap their government take over and hit the reset button, there's not much to talk about."

    Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) brought up one point of policy on which he would like to debate the president. "The first question I have for President Obama is if he still stands by his call for tort reform or was he just lying to Congress when he directed [Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen] Sebelius to pursue an initiative addressing the costs of defensive medicine," Issa said in a statement. "When HHS is telling me that malpractice reform is not a 'priority of this Administration,' I have to question the sincerity of the President's commitment to working with Congressional Republicans on a bipartisan basis."

  • Napolitano said she was "tired" from a trip, could not go to Security meeting.
    What?
    Napolitano does not show up?
    Representatives are incensed .

    Article in part

    "(CNSNews.com) - Top Democrats on the House Homeland Security Committee publicly scolded Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano for failing to show up at a Wednesday hearing where the committee examined the attempted Christmas Day suicide bombing of Northwest Flight 253. One Democrat on the committee said he wanted to know "where the hell" Napolitano was.

    That evening, Napolitiano did prominently show up at the Capitol to attend President Barack Obama's State of the Union address. But earlier in the day, she dispatched Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Jane Holl Lute to testify on her behalf in the Homeland Security Committee on what went wrong in the homeland-security process that allowed would-be suicide-bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to board a plane bound from Amsterdam to the Detroit.

    The committee has primary oversight over Napolitano's department, and top Democrats on the panel made it clear they were angry that she failed to show up for such an important hearing.

    Appearing on CNN two days after the attempted Christmas Day suicide bombing, Napolitano had said: "And one thing I'd like to point out is that the system worked." Republican sources on the committee said they believe Napolitano did not show up today because she did not want to explain why she said those words.

    Democrats openly expressed their dismay with Napolitano as the hearing proceeded. Rep. Chris Carney (D.-Pa.), chairman of the Subcommittee on Management, Investigations and Oversight, said during his question period: "I am very dismayed that the Secretary herself isn't here. I mean it's probably fair to ask: "Where the Hell is Secretary Napolitano?"

    Rep. Jane Harman (D.-Calif.), chairman of the Subcommittee on Intelligence, said: "I would like to welcome our witnesses but comment on the absence of Secretary Napolitano. This is the committee with primary jurisdiction over the Department of Homeland Security. She is the secretary of Homeland Security. She is in Washington, D.C. She was invited to testify at this very important hearing, and she should have been here. … I am very personally disappointed that she isn't here."

    Homeland Security Chairman Bennie Thompson (D.-Miss.) rebuked Napolitano for a lack of courtesy in dealing with the committee. Thompson said during the hearing that he had spoken with Napolitano just two days before and that there had been no discussion of her not attending. He did not want his committee to be "misled," he said, added that the committee had first been told that Napolitano could not attend because she would be out of the country, then discovered that she was in fact in Washington, D.C. but would not attend anyway."

  • US Representative Elton Gellegly is telling the Real Truth to the Seniors.

    I guess the AARP should not believe Pelosi and the promises to seniors.
    Health Care Plan does cut Medicare and the seniors were lied to.
    AARP should review the Truth.
    Article in part..
    "By Elton Gallegly

    If House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's health care plan passes, 6 million seniors will lose access to Medicare benefits they now have, their health care will deteriorate, and many other Medicare recipients will also see a decline in care.

    This is because 11 million seniors, or 22 percent of all Medicare beneficiaries, are enrolled in a Medicare health plan called Medicare Advantage. If the law were to remain unchanged, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office predicts 14 million seniors would enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan by 2019.

    However, Ms. Pelosi's health care plan would slash access to Medicare Advantage to the point that in 10 years only 8 million seniors would be enrolled. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, 24,286 seniors in my congressional district could lose their Medicare Advantage plans.

    The Senate bill isn't any better. Douglas Elmendorf, director of the Congressional Budget Office, told Congress this week that the bill by Sen. Max Baucus of Montana would cut payments to the Medicare Advantage plans by more than $100 billion over 10 years."

    "By EDMUND L. ANDREWS
    Published: November 22, 2009
    WASHINGTON — The United States government is financing its more than trillion-dollar-a-year borrowing with i.o.u.'s on terms that seem too good to be true.

    J. Emilio Flores for The New York Times
    "What a good country or a good squirrel should be doing is stashing away nuts for the winter. The United States is not only not saving nuts, it's eating the ones left over from the last winter." WILLIAM H. GROSS

    Payback Time
    The Debt Bomb

    But that happy situation, aided by ultralow interest rates, may not last much longer.

    Treasury officials now face a trifecta of headaches: a mountain of new debt, a balloon of short-term borrowings that come due in the months ahead, and interest rates that are sure to climb back to normal as soon as the Federal Reserve decides that the emergency has passed.

    Even as Treasury officials are racing to lock in today's low rates by exchanging short-term borrowings for long-term bonds, the government faces a payment shock similar to those that sent legions of overstretched homeowners into default on their mortgages.

    With the national debt now topping $12 trillion, the White House estimates that the government's tab for servicing the debt will exceed $700 billion a year in 2019, up from $202 billion this year, even if annual budget deficits shrink drastically. Other forecasters say the figure could be much higher.

    In concrete terms, an additional $500 billion a year in interest expense would total more than the combined federal budgets this year for education, energy, homeland security and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    The potential for rapidly escalating interest payouts is just one of the wrenching challenges facing the United States after decades of living beyond its means.

    The surge in borrowing over the last year or two is widely judged to have been a necessary response to the financial crisis and the deep recession, and there is still a raging debate over how aggressively to bring down deficits over the next few years. But there is little doubt that the United States' long-term budget crisis is becoming too big to postpone.

    Americans now have to climb out of two deep holes: as debt-loaded consumers, whose personal wealth sank along with housing and stock prices; and as taxpayers, whose government debt has almost doubled in the last two years alone, just as costs tied to benefits for retiring baby boomers are set to explode."

  • This is Really Funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    This is the Transcript AND the Video, a picture is worth a Thousand words!
    Transcript of SNL

    "ANNOUNCER: We will now take you live to Beijing for the joint press conference already underway between U.S. President Obama and Chinese President Hu Jintao.

    OBAMA: As I already said privately, I would like to thank President Jintao for his kind welcome and generous hospitality, and I hope that during this visit we can have a productive dialogue about the serious issues of concern that remain between our two countries — issues ranging from the unfair valuation of your currency to the trade imbalance, and most importantly, human rights. I believe there can be a great partnership between us but it will require compromise and understanding.

    (Hu Jintao "speaks.")

    INTERPRETER: Thank you, Mr. President. I would like to add that I completely understand why you feel entitled to come here and lecture China on our shortcomings. After all, my country does owe the United States a great deal of money. Oh, wait. Hold on a moment. I believe I had that backwards. In fact, now that I think about it, it is your country that owes us a large sum of money. Is this correct?

    OBAMA: Uh… yes.

    (Hu Jintao "speaks.")

    INTERPRETER: Now, it's coming back to me. I believe it's $800 billion.

    OBAMA: That is correct.

    (Hu Jintao "speaks.")

    INTERPRETER: Such a large sum.

    OBAMA: Yes, it is.

    (Hu Jintao "speaks.")

    INTERPRETER: And yet you haven't even mentioned it. That's so odd.

    OBAMA: Uh, look, you're going to get your money.

    (Hu Jintao "speaks.")

    INTERPRETER: Are we? Are we going to get our money? Because from what I read your country is in the middle of a serious recession.

    OBAMA: Uh, while this is true, there are signs that our bailout has steadied the financial markets and our stimulus package has been effective in fixing the job crisis.

    (Hu Jintao "speaks.")

    INTERPRETER: I'm curious. How many jobs has it created?

    OBAMA: Uh, so far, none.

    (Hu Jintao "speaks.")

    INTERPRETER: I see.

    OBAMA: But our health care reform plan, we're confident, is going to lead to enormous savings.

    (Hu Jintao "speaks.")

    INTERPRETER: How exactly is extending health care coverage to 30 million people going to save you money?

    OBAMA: I… don't know.

    (Hu Jintao "speaks.")

    INTERPRETER: And this "Cash for Clunkers" program– I have read that you purchased many clunkers with our money.

    OBAMA: Yes, we have.

    (Hu Jintao "speaks.")

    INTERPRETER: What does this word "clunkers" mean?

    (Hu Jintao "speaks.")

    OBAMA: Well, a clunker is a car…

    (Hu Jintao "speaks.")

    INTERPRETER: I know what a clunker is. And just so there is no misunderstanding, you are not allowed to pay us back in clunkers.

    OBAMA:Of course not.

    (Hu Jintao "speaks.")

    INTERPRETER: You know, as I listen to you, I am noticing that each of your plans to save money involves spending even more money. This does not inspire confidence.

    OBAMA: I assure you, you're going to get your money.

    (Hu Jintao "speaks.")

    INTERPRETER: Will you kiss me?

    OBAMA: Sorry?

    (Hu Jintao "speaks.")

    INTERPRETER: Will you kiss me?

    OBAMA: I don't understand.

    (Hu Jintao "speaks.")

    INTERPRETER: I like to be kissed, (shouts) when someone is doing sex to me!

    OBAMA: There's no need for that.

    (Hu Jintao "speaks.")

    INTERPRETER: No? You know how many uninsured we have in China? One and a quarter billion, billion. But I'll tell you this: We don't owe anyone $800 billion.

    OBAMA: Well, obviously, we take our debt to you very seriously.

    (Hu Jintao "speaks.")

    INTERPRETER: I suppose if I really wanted to get my money I could call and say I was a Wall Street banker who needs his bonus. But really, why should I have to stoop to that level?

    OBAMA: You don't have to stoop to any level.

    (Hu Jintao "speaks.")

    INTERPRETER: Please understand if it were my $800 billion I wouldn't care, but it belongs to my country. I feel like I should bring it up.

    OBAMA: You're going to get your money.

    (Hu Jintao "speaks.")

    INTERPRETER: Say, while you're here, are you at least going to treat me to dinner and a movie?

    OBAMA: I'm sorry?

    (Hu Jintao "speaks.")

    INTERPRETER: I think it's the polite thing to do, (shouts) before doing sex to me!

    OBAMA: Mr. President, please.

    (Hu Jintao "speaks.")

    INTERPRETER: Very well.

    OBAMA: I assure you that as soon we solve this economic crisis…

    (Hu Jintao "speaks.")

    INTERPRETER: Which one? The one that your country's reckless real estate speculation caused? That one? I just want to make sure I know which one we're talking about.

    OBAMA: We are taking steps to make sure that what happened will never happen again.

    (Hu Jintao "speaks.")

    INTERPRETER: What steps?

    OBAMA: Uh, reform of banking regulations.

    (Hu Jintao "speaks.")

    INTERPRETER: Do I look like Mrs. Obama?

  • Obama IS in opposition to the Stupak Amendment in the government health care that would not allow Tax Dollars for Abortion..
    Why did Obama say no Tax Dollars for Abortion in the Town Hall meetings?

    White House Axelrod tells it like it is...

    Article in part...

    "WASHINGTON, Nov. 15 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama remains opposed to prohibiting abortion coverage in plans offered through a new health insurance exchange, an adviser says.

    Obama adviser David Axelrod said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" that the president hasn't wavered in his opposition to the Stupak Amendment, a measure authored by conservative Democrats to ban abortion coverage which last week passed the House with solid Republican support.

    "The president has said repeatedly, and he said in his speech to Congress, that he doesn't believe that this bill should change the status quo as it relates to the issue of abortion," Axelrod told CNN. "He's going to work with the Senate and the House to try to ensure that at the end of the day the status quo is not changed."

    The U.S. broadcaster said progressive, pro-abortion rights congressional Democrats are organizing in an effort to eliminate the Stupak Amendment from the final version of the bill that will be voted on by both chambers."

  • I think it is significant that the Democrat Congressman David Obey wants true numbers and facts on the recovery.gov site as it is "undermining government creditability". I think it is truly worrisome the misinformation about jobs in Districts that do not even exist. I applaud this Congressman for speaking out for accountabiity and Truth. I think it is questionable on many levels that a government cite is so misleading to the American public; who is accountable for these numbers and multiple errors that mislead?

    Article in part..

    "Congressman Dave Obey wants pervasive errors in official stimulus data fixed. The Wausau Democrat says that the inaccuracies on recovery.gov are "stupid mistakes" that undermine the government's credibility.

    The data shows the number of jobs created and how much stimulus funding each congressional district received. However the website also shows so-called "phantom congressional districts," districts that don't really exist, along with funding and job creation numbers.

    In an Appropriations Committee statement Obey says, "The inaccuracies on recovery.gov that have come to light are outrageous and the Administration owes itself, the Congress, and every American a commitment to work night and day to correct the ludicrous mistakes."

    Wisconsin has several phantom districts listed on the recovery website including the 55th, 14th, 9th, 00, 10th and 39th. The funds received vary from $1,240,000 to $91,091.

    Obey also called on the Transparency Board, which oversees the recovery act web site and data, to fix it. "Whether the numbers are good news or bad news, I want the honest numbers and I want them now," Obey said."

  • There is a Right, it is called Freedom of Religion. The Catholic Church has been in existence for over two thousand years; Christianity. Our Country allows a Tax Exempt Status for Churches. The Bishops are not Politicians, they are the Shepherds of the Church, and they are to speak of what is morally Right or Wrong, to make the assertion that this makes these Bishops of the Catholic Church Politicians is absurd. Jesus was very outspoken of the moral issues of his day, Jesus was not a Politician nor did he run for office.
    This Congresswoman has asked for the Catholic Church to be Investigated for speaking out against Abortion and the Bishops Evangelizing that the Church teaches that Abortion is morally wrong.
    I think the Ethics Committee should Investigate this Congresswoman and her Pro Abortion stand and attacking the Catholic Church for the misinformation of some very public Pro Abortion Catholics.
    I remember self professed Catholic, Nancy Pelosi speaking out that the Church does not know when life begins. Pelosi did not have ANY Right to speak for the Church, and Pelosi's statement was wrong.
    For the Catholic Bishops to say that Abortion is wrong publicly is defining the misinformation.
    Public speakers like Nancy Pelosi ARE politicians and should not speak for the Church.
    Nelson Mandella was a man of the cloth and he entered the Political realm. He would no longer have the Tax Exempt Status, no Catholic Bishop has put their hat in for political office. They have the Right to Evangelize and Stop misinformation of the Pro Abortion uninformed Catholics.
    For Pro Abortion Woolsey to misconstrue the Bishops concern for not clarifying that Abortion is morally wrong, and purport that they are Politicians is absurd.
    I think this assertion of Congresswoman Woolsey should be investigated, there are many who are not Catholic, that do not want Abortion being paid for by our Tax Dollars.These reasons are varied, and they are personal, political and fiscally motivated.
    Is this Congresswoman doing this in good faith, who are her political funders, who gives her money for her campaigns; maybe she too should be investigated. Who is lobbying her?

    PELOSI: Buy a $15,000 Policy or Go to Jail
    JCT Confirms Failure to Comply with Democrats' Mandate Can Lead to 5 Years in Jail
    Friday, November 06, 2009

    Today, Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee Dave Camp (R-MI) released a letter from the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) confirming that the failure to comply with the individual mandate to buy health insurance contained in the Pelosi health care bill (H.R. 3962, as amended) could land people in jail. The JCT letter makes clear that Americans who do not maintain "acceptable health insurance coverage" and who choose not to pay the bill's new individual mandate tax (generally 2.5% of income), are subject to numerous civil and criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment of up to five years.

    In response to the JCT letter, Camp said: "This is the ultimate example of the Democrats' command-and-control style of governing – buy what we tell you or go to jail. It is outrageous and it should be stopped immediately."

    Key excerpts from the JCT letter appear below:

    "H.R. 3962 provides that an individual (or a husband and wife in the case of a joint return) who does not, at any time during the taxable year, maintain acceptable health insurance coverage for himself or herself and each of his or her qualifying children is subject to an additional tax." [page 1]

    - - - - - - - - - -

    "If the government determines that the taxpayer's unpaid tax liability results from willful behavior, the following penalties could apply…" [page 2]

    - - - - - - - - - -

    "Criminal penalties

    Prosecution is authorized under the Code for a variety of offenses. Depending on the level of the noncompliance, the following penalties could apply to an individual:

    • Section 7203 – misdemeanor willful failure to pay is punishable by a fine of up to $25,000 and/or imprisonment of up to one year.

    • Section 7201 – felony willful evasion is punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and/or imprisonment of up to five years." [page 3]

    When confronted with this same issue during its consideration of a similar individual mandate tax, the Senate Finance Committee worked on a bipartisan basis to include language in its bill that shielded Americans from civil and criminal penalties. The Pelosi bill, however, contains no similar language protecting American citizens from civil and criminal tax penalties that could include a $250,000 fine and five years in jail.

    "The Senate Finance Committee had the good sense to eliminate the extreme penalty of incarceration. Speaker Pelosi's decision to leave in the jail time provision is a threat to every family who cannot afford the $15,000 premium her plan creates. Fortunately, Republicans have an alternative that will lower health insurance costs without raising taxes or cutting Medicare," said Camp.

    According to the Congressional Budget Office the lowest cost family non-group plan under the Speaker's bill would cost $15,000 in 2016."

    And, Pelosi smiles.

  • "Last night former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura made a secret visit to the devastated military families at Fort Hood.

    The Bushes instructed the commander of the mourning military base that they wanted no publicity. With their Secret Service detail, Bush and his wife made the 30 mile trip unannounced from their ranch near Crawford, Texas Friday evening.

    Fox News broke news of the visit this afternoon. Other sources said the former first couple spent about two hours meeting with the wounded, family and soldiers, talking quietly and at times hugging them as they did in private at other times of crisis such as post-9/11.

    Most presidents come to feel a genuine respect and affection for the people they lead as commander-in-chief and sometimes the affection is reciprocated"

  • I listened to the soft articulate voice of the FORMER Director of Planned Parenthood clinic in Texas. Abby Johnson described the day she quit her job
    Abby was asked by radio interviewer Teresa Tomeo what had happened that made her quit her job as Director of the Planned Parenthood Abortion Clinic in Texas; Abby said she was assisting with the ultrasound and held the probe to monitor the womb during an Abortion, she said she saw the baby and it had reminded her of the pictures of her child when she was pregnant and her daughter's ultrasound. The former Director then said she saw the Abortion device enter the womb on the ultrasound and watched as the baby pushed away to get away from the suction device, she then said that she watched as the baby "crumbled" into the suction tube and she dropped the probe. Abby then picked up the device and put it back on the stomach of the mother and knew then she could no longer work as Director of the Abortion Provider, Planned Parenthood. Mrs. Johnson said she told the staff that she had to quit. Abby had seen the Pro Life prayer group outside the clinic over the years, and she knew they would embrace her with open arms.
    I think this poignant story of the facts of a former Abortion provider Director of Planned Parenthood and what truly happens to a baby "pushing" away from the suction tube is significant.
    Abby had seen and spoke with those outside over the years, she knew they would help her and they were telling the truth.

    There are many attorney's throughout our governing system, I would have hoped they did not miss the class on Contract Law and the Fundamentals for all attorneys who Represent.
    There are now OVER 2,000 pages of the Democrat government health bill proposal, promises of wording that "No Tax Dollars" would be funded for Abortions has not been added as proposed and promised+AGAIN!
    Pelosi said elections were a victory for the government health care, what Press was she not reading?
    I think that her statement must be truly ignorant; AND if this is indicative of her comprehension of what is going on in our Country we need to remove her from her as she is ignorant of the facts. I certainly do not want someone who is ignorant of the facts making proposals for laws for my health care.

    We still CANNOT afford it, no one has ever intelligently explained how we the people could pay it, We cannot.

    We are in unsustainable debt (Obama 5/2009) with the UNREAD Stimulus that is being misspent and unaccounted for NOW.

  • This is the video of President Obama stating that the Democrat Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) an "outstanding" member of Congress at a fundraiser Monday night. Grayson recently called a Fed aide a "K Street whore."

    Where is the outrage! This is a personal nasty remark, this is the man who said that Republicans want old people to "die quickly" and would not retract his statement.
    I cannot understand the feminists and their organizations not putting this man to task for his unprofessional and inflammatory speech, this remark calling a Female Federal Aide a "K Street Whore" surely is a wake up call to where this Congressman's opinions are on women.
    Obama complimenting this Congressman is questionable, I do know why he was not censured; how could the President compliment him as "Outstanding" when he has shown himself to be very base.
    I am saddened by this affirmation of a truly base remark and a person of questionable integrity in our Congress. This "Whore" remark is intolerable.
    What does the women in the Federal government think of a Congressman calling one of fheir's a "Whore" on the public air?
    Why would the President be in favor of him and give him accolades when he is openly disrespectful of our female Federal employees. Does this Democratic Congressman think he does not have to show women or female Federal employees respect? I think he should be held accountable for his remark by the female Federal employees and all of the feminists in this nation.
    What do you think?
    Is this Congressman "Outstanding"? Should President Obama compliment him as "Outstanding" ?

    Hawaii Catholics celebrate Father Damien's canonization

    PAUOA VALLEY (KHNL) - A historic moment for Hawaii gets international attention. Blessed Damien of Moloka'i, who helped those afflicted with leprosy in Kalaupapa in the 1800s, will be canonized Sunday morning in Rome, Italy, making him a saint.

    And locally, many Catholics in Hawaii are taking part in this important occasion. This is one of the most significant moments for Catholics in Hawaii. Many gathered at the Blessed Sacrament Church, and they're following Father Damien's example.

    It's that unmistakable sound of a weekend barbecue, and these folks are going all out.

    "We got barbecued steak, and this is Samoan sausage," said Diana Leuta, who was helping with the cooking.

    They also have Kalua pig, and chicken with long rice.

    Good food and good music put a big smile on these churchgoers' faces. They're here for a charity event at Blessed Sacrament Church in Pauoa Valley.

    "Words cannot express it," said Leuta. "It's so wonderful."

    But this is more than a fundraiser. It's a major event honoring Father Damien.

    He was a Catholic priest who arrived in Hawaii in the mid 1800s. He went to a settlement colony of Kalaupapa on the island of Moloka'i to help those afflicted with leprosy.

    "He was a man who gave his life to serve god and his people," said Elizabeth Lum, a member of Blessed Sacrament Church. "He wasn't thinking about himself; he was thinking about people."

    He is also credited with performing two miracles: one in France, and another right here in Hawaii. Audrey Toguchi had terminal cancer. She says after she prayed at Father Damien's gravesite, her cancer completely disappeared.

    "I just love Father Damien and what he did," said Jessica Agustin, a Catholic.

    That's why the Vatican elevated him to sainthood, canonizing him this weekend.

    "And for Hawaii, it's special because in all of our lifetime we've never had a saint from Hawaii," said Bernard Ho, president of Damien Memorial School.

    These church members are following Father Damien's example. All the proceeds from the sale of food and clothing - every last penny - will be donated to the needy on Moloka'i.

    And this message of charity lives in the hearts of even the youngest church members.

    "No matter what kind of people they are, it shows me that you have to help others when they're in need because we're all brothers and sisters," said Agustin, who is 17-years-old. "We're all like family, and it makes me excited to help people and that's what inspired me to do."

    Continuing to inspire here in Hawaii and throughout the world more than a century after his passing.

    Around Oahu, the canonization of Father Damien has Hawaii's political leaders talking about the impact this one man had on the islands and the world.

    "I felt very emotional this whole lead up to Father Damien's canonization because of the 10 years that I lived on Moloka'i," said Gov. Linda Lingle, R-Hawaii. "I spent quite a fair amount of time on Kalaupapa and for anyone who's never been there, you can't appreciate how almost other-wordly it fells down there."

    Meanwhile, Honolulu mayor Mufi Hannemann issued a statement saying, "Father Damien has long stood as a symbol of courage, sacrifice, and devotion to the people of the Hawaiian islands. The people of Hawaii join our brothers and sisters around the world in prayer and in celebrating the life and sainthood of a remarkable man."

    Father Damien's canonization will take place in Rome beginning at ten Saturday night, Hawaii time. There's a twelve hour difference, so it'll be ten in the morning Sunday in Italy."

    We all rejoice with Hawaii and the Canonization of the Leper Priest and his sacrifice to God, Church and the forgotten peoples he loved.

  • Dr. Alveda King the neice of Martin Luther King, Jr. in 2010 FREEDOM RIDES.

    Letter from Father Frank Pavone information and Link

    Dear Therese,

    My regular column below outlines the vision for the Freedom Rides which Dr. Alveda King and I will lead in 2010. We are in the process of mobilizing other leaders, establishing dates and cities, and recruiting volunteers.

    Proclaim Freedom for the Unborn

    Fr. Frank Pavone
    National Director, Priests for Life

    The pro-life movement is all about freedom. That's why Priests for Life, with the leadership of our Pastoral Associate Dr. Alveda King, is launching "Freedom Rides" for the unborn to galvanize pro-life activity across the country.

    During the Civil Rights movement, the "Freedom Rides" constituted a distinctive moment of resolve and unity. The Supreme Court, in its 1960 decision Boynton vs. Virginia, had outlawed segregation in bus terminals and restaurants serving interstate travelers. So the following spring, thirteen people - seven African-Americans and six whites - decided to travel by bus from Washington DC to New Orleans to test the enforcement of that Supreme Court decision.

    Along the way, particularly in Alabama, they encountered opposition and violence from those who did not want desegregation. But having been brutally attacked, and some lying with wounds in hospital beds, the "Freedom Riders" vowed that the journey would continue. That's when others joined in, and the initial Freedom Ride became 60 rides across Southern states in the summer of 1961, with some 450 riders participating. And by the fall of that same year, the government issued orders for the enforcement of desegregation at the bus terminals.

    The Civil Rights movement and the Pro-Life movement have the same heart and soul: a longing for equal justice for everyone, based on the inherent dignity of every human life. That's why, when Dr. Alveda King first walked with me at the annual March for Life and I asked her, "Does this remind you of the marches in the civil rights movement?" she declared, "Fr. Frank, this is the civil rights movement!" Both movements are movements of freedom.

    It is therefore time for Freedom Rides for the unborn. The pro-life movement is more ready than ever to proclaim freedom…

    Freedom from the lies and the deceit that allow abortion to continue…
    Freedom from the fear of speaking up and taking action for the unborn…
    Freedom from the shame and guilt of past involvement in abortion, so that those called to speak up and share their testimonies may do so as people who are "Silent No More"…
    Freedom from the political oppression that tramples on human rights and denies equality before the law…
    Freedom from violence and death itself.

    People will be invited to participate in the Freedom Rides themselves. The bus rides are a symbol of the journey we are on, of the fellowship we share with each other, and of the fact that we are a movement. Major events in cities along the bus routes will be held, in which all the different facets of the pro-life movement will be invited to participate.

    At the same time, people not on the rides or along the route can participate by being "Freedom Riders for the Unborn" and carrying out special projects that will be coordinated among Freedom Riders nationwide.

    In his first public sermon, Jesus summarized his message and mission by saying he had come to "proclaim liberty to the captives…" As his disciples, as his People of Life, let us do the same!

    "AP – FILE - In this Sept. 16, 2008 file photo, The American International Group logo is shown in New York. … By MARTIN CRUTSINGER, AP Economics Writer Martin Crutsinger, Ap Economics Writer – 1 hr 27 mins ago
    WASHINGTON – The Treasury Department is expected in the next few days to order companies that received huge government bailouts last year to slash the base salaries of their top executives by an average of 90 percent and cut their total compensation in half, according to a person familiar with the matter.

    The cuts apply to the 25 highest paid executives at the seven companies that received the most assistance, the person said Wednesday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the decision has not been announced. Smaller companies and those that have repaid the bailout money, including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co., are not affected.

    Kenneth Feinberg, the special master at Treasury appointed to handle compensation issues as part of the government's $700 billion financial bailout package, is making the pay decisions.

    The seven companies are Bank of America Corp., American International Group Inc., Citigroup Inc., General Motors, GMAC, Chrysler and Chrysler Financial.

    It was unclear exactly how much the executives would be allowed to make, or how that would be determined. Each case is being handled individually, and no details were available on how the calculations were being made."

    "In Hamer's final undercover sting, in 2005, the bureau targeted the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), an organization that advocates sex with children.

    For most of that career, he posed as tough guys, gentlemen thugs. Transforming into a homosexual pedophile wasn't easy. Hamer found the group's appetites repulsive and worried about blending in.

    "When I first started posing as a boy lover, I thought I looked too much like a cop. I was a little too macho," he says. "I thought, 'What am I going to do to throw them off?' It was almost like the heavens opened up
    and said, 'Handicapped.' And that's what I did."

    Hamer went to the Salvation Army, bought a cane for $5 and hobbled his way to eight convictions. Over three years, Hamer became part of the association's inner circle, eventually helping to facilitate a boat trip
    to Mexico for men to have sex with boys.

    Prosecutors said that David Mayer, a Chicago flight attendant and psychologist, suggested the trip to Mexico at a NAMBLA convention in 2004. On a surveillance tape, Mayer said he kept his job as a flight
    attendant so he could travel overseas to places where underage sex for hire was commonplace.

    In February 2005, the FBI arrested Mayer and two colleagues on a San Diego dock for alleged interstate travel for the purpose of illicit sex. To keep his cover, Hamer pretended to faint when his fellow agents
    carted him off. Mayer received a sentence of more than three years in federal prison."

    "'Bitter defeat' of left lets Europe's largest economy form broadly right-wing government

    Berlin — From Monday's Globe and Mail
    Last updated on Monday, Sep. 28, 2009 10:50AM EDT

    The collapse of Europe's left-leaning political consensus continued Sunday night as Germany's Social Democrats ended 11 years in coalition governments with a crushing defeat at the hands of a conservative coalition that re-elected Chancellor Angela Merkel.

    The vote makes Ms. Merkel the latest in a succession of conservative leaders to win strong support in formerly centre-left countries. Her conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) have governed Germany since 2005 in an awkward power-sharing coalition with the Social Democrats (SPD).

    But last night's vote allows her to form a broadly right-wing government with the libertarian Free Democrats (FDP), who campaigned on a tax-cutting platform.

    Germany, the largest economy in Europe, has been hit hard by the economic downturn under the leadership of Ms. Merkel. But instead of punishing the chancellor's party, voters appeared to lash out at the Social Democrats, who saw their support plummet to 23.1 per cent, down 11.1 points from 2005.

    A handful of those votes went to the socialist Left Party, comprised of former East Germany communists and figures from the far left of the Social Democrats, which saw a slight rise from 10 to 12 per cent support, largely because it is the only party not to support the Afghanistan war. The Greens also saw a small boost.

    But mainly, analysts said, the left-wing voters simply stayed away, without any sense of future direction.

    "It was a bitter defeat," acknowledged Social Democrat leader Frank-Walter Steinmeier in a traditional TV appearance with Ms. Merkel after the vote.

    "We weren't able to persuade all our voters to come to the polls. Many of the non-voters are former SPD sympathizers, and we have to work to win them back in the coming years. We have to lead the SPD back to its old strength."

  • President Obama has mentioned to make note of who is "surrounding" him and who has his ear.
    He has now over 30 Czars, or White House Cabinet members who are accountable to only him.
    We have no government job description for their titles, we do not know what "powers" they have; nor do we know who monitors their behavior.
    The President has chosen these men and women to assist him, we know that their are those in this group who have Radical histories of drugs, communist, Nazi/Lenist associations and other questionable ideologies for some who is in a leadership position in the White House, AND who has the President's ear.
    Are these Appointed Obama Czars a Benefit to President Obama as President and Commander in Chief, OR are these White House Cabinet members with their radical past and little acknowledgement of the accountability of the Federal Government and its check and balances a Liability to US?
    I have witness over the top campaigning for the government proposed health care bill at the expense of all else, little to no media attention or information to US for our families in the Iraq and the Afghanistan wars. The one item I recall is President Obama say he is sending MORE troops to Afghanistan earlier and possibly more now. I recall Nancy Pelosi the Speaker of the House saying she was not for sending in the troops to Afghanistan this second time.
    I think it is significant that there is such indecision in the White House and within the Obama/Pelosi constituency. I think that this is a deplorable situation and inexcusable.
    President Obama's ear should have been to the line of communication as Commander in Chief, NOT Campaigner in Chief of the Viral Emails and lists of dissenters for a 2013 government health care.
    Our troops needed AND still needs a Commander in Chief who has their back, I recall when the two soldiers were shot at their offices the father of one of the murdered young man said Obama never contacted him, AND yet he has beer and visits with a Professor who President Obama had no official interest, NOR did Obama have any information about, but publicly took this Professor's position and called the local police action "stupidly" without information. YET in the incident of the murdered soldier, The Commander in Chief, President Obama, still had not contact the father or the young man's family when he appeared on the news network. Is this reasonable?
    Is this lack of accountability as Commander in Chief to our precious military forces because of inexperience and ignorance, OR is it because President Obama has surrounded himself with informants who are adequate for the job as adviser to the Commander in Chief OR President of the United States.

    We know that Van Jones, the Green Czar resigned because of his highly suspect history of Radical ideologies,his self professed socialist Utopia and Marxist/Lenist views and signing a Document stating that President Bush was involved in the 9/11/2001 terrorist plot and massacre of 3,000.00 innocents.
    Cass Sunstein, Regulatory Czar, has described himself as a communist. He has a "problem with Free Speech" and also has proposed writing a SECOND "Bill of Rights".
    I do not have a problem with the fact we have free speech. For that matter, I really do not care for Cass Sunstein saying HE has a problem of Free Speech while he sits in our White House and what Regulatory powers does this man have? Where is his job description? How much does he make?
    When you have a Federal Position (even the President) you have a job description and pay scale, where are these peoples job descriptions and what powers do they hold without the proper checks and balances?
    I think that the questions we the people hold about the questionable people within our White House should be investigated.
    Our Commander in Chief has taken little note of public interest in the military or our forces during his Presidency. When he should have made a Commander in Chief move to his soldiers and their families he was reprimanding a local police officer in deference to a Professor that he knew nothing about. Could this have been listening to Van Jones as he was one of the originators of STORM and was radical about police actions on people of color?
    The Commander in Chief, President Obama did not support those who support US, our military, our soldiers, one of his own was down and he never called the family and this happened here in the US.
    What are we to make of these inconsistencies with Obama's job description and the choices he has made.
    The people Obama has CHOSEN to surround himself are not indicative of the interests of this Country, NOR the principles we the people hold to be self evident.
    Are the Czars a Benefit or a Liability to US?

  • I think this article in the Washington Times is poignant.
    I think it shows the questionable Foreign Policy of President Obama.
    The Article in part states..
    "Tomorrow, President Obama will chair a special nuclear-disarmament meeting by the United Nations Security Council. The White House bills this as a historic first, but it is typical of Mr. Obama's emphasis on style over substance. He will appear before the body with the weakest foreign-policy record of any new U.S. president in recent memory. An around-the-world tour of international hot spots shows that for all the president's lofty rhetoric, he can point to precious few accomplishments.

    In the Middle East, Mr. Obama's unprecedented obsequiousness in dealing with the Muslim world has generated no tangible returns. The leading Arab states repeatedly have declined to budge toward compromise to push the regional peace process forward, and they show no signs of normalizing relations with Israel. Palestinians refuse to talk to Israelis until they agree to a settlement freeze on the West Bank, and Israel has reportedly responded to Mr. Obama's call for a freeze by saying it will go ahead and build 2,500 new housing units. "

  • Do our CIA and Troops want to fight after the second class place to the Obama Administration campaigning for everything else BUT them.
    August has been the deadliest month yet, where is the campaigning for our troops.
    Our CIA are being investigated, there is reports of CIA employees quitting.
    Their morale is down. I am not surprised when they are thrown under the bus for political gain; the red herring. Maybe our troops casualties are SOO heavy because the CIA has not been able to do their job to help them.

  • It is getting uglier the more the Obama Administration continues to have a "war" on our CIA.
    The line in the sand has been drawn for our Security by these two lawmakers.
    President Obama and his Administration is not working in the best interest of our Security. Obama and his friends are undermining US.

    The article in part,
    "Two Republican lawmakers on Friday said that unless the Obama administration ceases its "war" with the U.S. intelligence community, American forces in Afghanistan should abandon their mission.

    "If the Obama administration's priority isn't providing our troops with the tools to do the job and win, we shouldn't be there," House Select Intelligence Committee chairman Pete Hoekstra (Mich.) and Rep. John Shadegg (Ariz.) penned in a Washington Times op-ed. "

    Who is our adversary, the CIA who are protecting US, or the terrorists who have vowed to destroy US? Whose side is Obama on?

    Speaking before the National Economists Club, Elmendorf disputed an argument made by White House economic adviser Larry Summers that the administration's funding of preventive services -- such as early screenings and treatments -- would create big-time monetary savings in the long-term."

    Today is the Feast Day of my friend Padre Pio.
    Many of us have a conversion story, or as some say, a Born Again experience.
    Padre Pio is a pivotal part of my conversion story. Saint Padre Pio was a walking, talking evidence of the power of the Scriptures. He used the miraculous on a daily basis.
    He was a passionate and compassionate man, he could be very strong in his admonishment if you were living in peril to your soul. He would tell those who came to him in Confession to leave if they were not penitent. There are many reports of Padre Pio telling the sins to the penitent that were not told to him in the confessional. Could you imagine the fright of those who had tried to hide their sins, and Padre Pio knew them through infused knowledge?
    I am one of the Spiritual children of St. Padre Pio. He is the Priest who had the Stigmata and many other miraculous gifts.
    I "met" Padre Pio in California in a small Church in the Valley in California. Father Matin was the Parish Priest at this church and he and many others belonged to one of Padre Pio's prayer group.
    I will link a site for him.
    Thank You Saint Padre Pio, my friend.

    The article in part states..

    "Facing a banking collapse that was unlike anything it had seen since the Great Depression, the Federal Reserve created $2 trillion of assets and debts during the past year to rescue the nation's financial institutions. But it did not make clear to taxpayers just where all of this money went. Taxpayers—involuntary investors in this case—have a right to know who received loans, in what amounts, for which collateral, and why specific loans were made.

    The Fed says taxpayers don't have the right to know these things. What's more, it went to court to resist giving an accounting of its actions under the Freedom of Information Act. The request was filed by Bloomberg News through its parent, Bloomberg LP. "

  • I think that this article states where President Obama's links lie.
    On his website www.Serve.gov, It will ACTUALLY LINK YOU TO "HEALTH CARE" ACTIVIST AT ACORN in Tucson!

    The article in part states in part...

    "The Obama Administration has placed a large premium on what it calls "national service." It has launched a website, www.Serve.gov, that is reported to act as a clearing house for Americans eager to "give back" to their communities. Unfortunately, Americans looking for an opportunity to volunteer may get something they weren't expecting.

    By typing "ACORN" into the search field entitled "What interests you" at Serve.gov, you're transported to allforgood.org where you can choose from a list of volunteer opportunities, including "healthcare activist." This particular "volunteer" opportunity is with the Tuscon ACORN office:"
    I guess if Obama put ACORN on the government site to "give back" and volunteer to ACORN, that about puts him where they want him."

    This is a government website promoting ACORN and who represents it; ACORN?

  • What is good leadership?
    I guess I would define good leadership is that you would be self sacrificing and put those who you represent First.
    I think another crucial element for a good leader is knowing what is CRUCIAL, to determine the most important crises to address and take each one according to their severity and or the impact on the basic needs or life and limb so to speak.
    I question whether we have a good leader, I do not think that the first two Fundamental elements of being a good leader are not being addressed by President Obama.
    The first is to define and work on the most pressing or problematic area for those you lead, MOST people, ESPECIALLY those who lost their jobs, would say our ECONOMY is the First, and jobs. I do not know that the unread trillion dollar Stimulus created ANY jobs. Nor did Green Czar Van Jones create any green jobs, he could not maintain his own because he was not the Right man for the job.
    The Second should be Obama should be a Commander in Chief of our military who ARE sacrificing life AND limb in the Two Wars, (Bush is no longer President, that is History) this is now Obamas' 2 Wars, he took the Oath. I cannot fathom not putting your total attention on this PRESENT DANGER to US and our Security for our troops and our Country.
    Campaigning for 2013 government health care when the US Postal Service is going under is not good leadership.
    I guess I wonder why is the President making speach after speach, taking vacation, campaigning for a 2013 health care when the crises and his people were walking on 9/12/2009 with signs in Washington DC and begging him to STOP spending and listen to them on WHAT IS important. I heard them say "Can you hear me now."
    I cannot fathom a leader ignoring them and going off campaigning for a 2013 vague AND Trillion dollar Unsustainable government Health Care.
    Why is President Obama not addressing the REAL and PRESENT DANGERS facing this nation. OR why is he not addressing the people about it. I do not think that the mongoose or unsustainable trillion dollar government health is ready to be passed, I think to propose this now is not good leadership, who knows what will be in 2013 and what could change by then. (our Security?)
    Why is not Obama concentrating on our vulnerability and our Security, Jobs, Economy.
    Is the government health care a diversion (Red Herring) to keep the masses engaged so they will not hold him accountable for the REAL crises?

    What is a Good Leader?

    The article in part is in Parenthesis..

    "By MATTHEW KAMINSKI
    Tony Dungy's favorite verse in the Bible is Matthew 16:26: "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world but forfeit his soul?"

    "In my 30 years in the NFL, I've seen a lot of that," says the first African-American head coach to win a Super Bowl and a best-selling author of inspirational books. "All the notoriety, all the accolades, all the money that people could get, and you see guys that aren't happy, and have personal problems because they haven't directed their lives toward something that's going to be long lasting."

    In his case, faith and family provide direction. For years he has worked through his prison ministry and mentored kids and families, dads above all, and naturally his players. But the troubled soul he has on his mind, sitting over an orange juice at his hotel in midtown Manhattan Thursday, is Michael Vick."

    The article is in Parenthesis....
    "
    The thing about the bully pulpit is that Presidents can make the most fantastic claims and it takes days to sort the reality from the myths. So as a public service, let's try to navigate the, er, remarkable Medicare discussion that President Obama delivered on Wednesday. It isn't easy.

    Mr. Obama began by depicting a crisis in the entitlement state, noting that "our health-care system is placing an unsustainable burden on taxpayers," especially Medicare. Unless we find a way to cauterize this fiscal hemorrhage, "we will eventually be spending more on Medicare than every other government program combined. Put simply, our health-care program is our deficit problem. Nothing else even comes close." "

    "The road that led to 9/11 was never a defining concern of President Barack Obama. But he returned to 9/11 as he sought to explain and defend the war in Afghanistan in a speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Phoenix, Ariz., on Aug. 17. "The insurgency in Afghanistan didn't just happen overnight and we won't defeat it overnight, but we must never forget: This is not a war of choice; it is a war of necessity. Those who attacked America on 9/11 are plotting to do so again. If left unchecked, the Taliban insurgency will mean an even larger safe haven from which al Qaeda could plot to kill more Americans." "

  • The Wall Street Journal has an insightful article on Obama and the Left.

    The article in part states..

    "As a candidate, Barack Obama was at pains to offer himself as a man of moderate policies, and especially of moderate temperament. He said he would listen to both the right and left, choosing the best of each depending on "what works." He sold himself as a center-left pragmatist. When his radical associations—Reverend Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers—came to light, Candidate Obama promptly disavowed them. Now comes Mr. Jones, with a long trail of extreme comments and left-wing organizing, who nonetheless became the White House adviser for "green jobs." This weekend he too was thrown under the bus.

    Monday, September 7, 2009 6:47 PM

    By: Ashley Martella Article Font Size

    Eight years after the worst-ever terrorist attack on American soil, the man who was Governor of New York at the time, George Pataki fears that President Obama has weakened U.S. security.

    In an exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV, Pataki says: "There is no question in my mind he is jeopardizing our security. You cannot turn terrorists loose, turn them back to where they came from and not expect them to engage in that activity again. We've already seen the example of a number of Guantanamo detainees who were released and returned to the battlefield, fighting our troops, fighting others who are trying to uphold the rule of law and defend freedom. So that clearly places us in jeopardy"

    "Emanuel is known for his "take-no-prisoners attitude" that has earned him the nickname "Rahm-bo."[13] Emanuel is said to have "mailed a rotten fish to a former coworker after the two parted ways."[10] On the night after the 1996 election, "Emanuel was so angry at the president's enemies that he stood up at a celebratory dinner with colleagues from the campaign, grabbed a steak knife and began rattling off a list of betrayers, shouting 'Dead! ... Dead! ... Dead!' and plunging the knife into the table after every name."[5][6] Before Tony Blair gave a pro-Clinton speech during the impeachment crisis, Emanuel reportedly screamed to Blair's face "Don't @!$%# this up!" while Clinton was present; Blair and Clinton both burst into laughter.[18] However, by 2007 his close friends were saying that he has "mellowed out."[10] Stories of his personal style have entered the popular culture, inspiring articles and websites that chronicle these and other quotes and incidents.[19][20][21][22] Though executive producer Lawrence O'Donnell has denied it,[23] the character Josh Lyman in The West Wing is said to be based on Rahm Emanuel.[5][24]

  • Dear Vineys,
    I would like to clarify this article to circumvent ANY misunderstanding of the information contained herein.
    I specifically state that there is information that is posted on Wikipedia on Eric Holder.
    I have put parenthesis around the biographical article and stated where I posted the information from.
    Please be advised, I am using this article as a reference on Eric Holder and the validity of the actions of Eric Holder. I have made comment on the actions only. I do not take any credit for the bio from Wikipedia on Eric Holder.
    If there is any misunderstanding, I apologize.
    This is the Bio from Wikipedia on Attorney General Eric Holder, Appointed by President Obama.to investigate our CIA.

    Article in part and link from Wikipedia...

    "Holder was also involved in Clinton's decision to reduce the criminal sentences of 16 members of the Boricua Popular Army, an organization that has been categorized by the FBI as a terrorist organization. The clemency request was initially opposed in 1996 by U.S. Pardons Attorney Margaret Love. When Holder was elevated to Deputy Attorney General in 1997, he was asked to reexamine the issue by three members of Congress. In July 1999, Holder recommended clemency to Clinton with a report from then U.S. Pardons Attorney Roger Adams that neither supported nor opposed clemency. A month later, Clinton granted the clemency. According to The Hartford Courant, the clemency was unusual because it was opposed by the FBI, the federal prosecutor and the victims. According to the newspaper, it was also unusual because, before the commutations, the Boricua Popular Army members were not required to repudiate their actions, and they were not asked to provide any information concerning the whereabouts of Victor Manuel Gerena, a co-conspirator and one of the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives, or the millions of dollars stolen by the group in a 1983 robbery of Wells Fargo in West Hartford, Connecticut.[20]

    [edit] Private practice
    From 2001 until he became Attorney General, Holder worked as an attorney at Covington & Burling in Washington, D.C.,[8] representing clients such as Merck and the National Football League.[3] He represented the NFL during its dog fighting investigation against Michael Vick.[21]

    In 2004, Holder helped negotiate an agreement with the Justice Department for Chiquita Brands International in a case that involved Chiquita's payment of "protection money" to the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia, a group on the U.S. government's list of terrorist organizations.[22][23] In the agreement, Chiquita's officials pleaded guilty and paid a fine of $25 million. Holder represented Chiquita in the civil action that grew out of this criminal case.[23]

    In March 2004 Holder and Covington & Burling were hired by Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich to act as a special investigator to the Illinois Gaming Board. The Gaming Board had voted 4-1 earlier that month to allow a casino to be built in Rosemont, Illinois. That vote defied the recommendation of the board's staff, which had raised concerns about alleged organized-crime links to the Rosemont casino's developer. The move had also raised concerns that the governor had named his close friend and fund-raiser, Christopher Kelly, as a "special government agent" to be involved in official state negotiations about the casino. Holder's legal work for the State of Illinois never materialized when the board reversed its decision and refused to hire Kelly. The investigation was subsequently canceled on May 18, 2004.[24]

    While D.C. v. Heller was being heard by the Supreme Court in 2008, Holder joined the Reno-led amicus brief, which urged the Supreme Court to uphold Washington, D.C.'s handgun ban and said the position of the Department of Justice, from Franklin Roosevelt through Clinton, was that the Second Amendment does not protect an individual right to keep and bear arms for purposes unrelated to a State's operation of a well-regulated militia.[25] Holder said that overturning the 1976 law "opens the door to more people having more access to guns and putting guns on the streets."[26]

    [edit] Attorney General
    In late 2007, Holder joined then-United States Senator Barack Obama's presidential campaign as a senior legal advisor. He served on Obama's vice presidential selection committee.[11] "

Holder represented Chiquita in the civil action that grew out of this criminal case.[23] "

I thought Obama didn't have anything to do with Governor Rod Blagojevich, the one who was going to sell Senator Obama's Senate seat? I think it is remarkable he hires the SAME Eric Holder. hmmm

  • The title of this Article says it ALL, The Jobless Stimulus!
    We have "unsustainable trillion dollar debt (Obama May,2009) and there is MORE unemployment.
    The article states in part....
    None of this does much for the credibility of the Obama Administration's stimulus spending plan, which was sold with the promise of a jobless rate this year of "below 8%" if the stimulus were passed. That was off by some three million jobs in a mere seven months. The same economists who fretted in February that $780 billion in stimulus was too small now claim that the $300 billion or so that has been spent has somehow ignited the recovery.

  • The Pelosi-Obama Deficit 8/31/2009
    The Obama White House and the Congressional Budget Office announced that the deficit will increase to $9 trillion over the next decade, $2 trillion more than predicted earlier this year. Watch the Journal Editorial Report on FOX News on Saturdays

  • Obama asks children to write letters to themselves to help President Obama?????
    This is political, I think Obama is believing his own Press. I do not know that children should have a President to ask children to write letters to themselves about HIM?
    The Administration has been shamed into rewriting "The lesson plan"!

  • The Internal Revenue Service has many laws covering the privacy of your Tax and personal information.
    The proposed government health care bill Section 431(a) is proposing that this IRS information be distribulted????
    WHAT NEXT???

    As if President Barack Obama's healthcare proposals were not flawed enough, CBS News reports a previously unnoticed provision of the bill that makes shambles of any privacy surrounding your federal tax returns. Under the House bill, the IRS is required to make available, to the new government "health choices commissioner" established by the legislation and to each state health program, all of your personal tax information.

    In a blog, CBS News' Declan McCullagh reports that "Section 431(a) of the bill says that the IRS must divulge taxpayer identity information, including the filing status, the modified adjusted grow income, the number of dependents, and 'other information as is prescribed by' regulation' to the "new Health Choices Commissioner and state health programs

  • I do not want Van Jones' reckless mouth and Marxist/Lenist STORM policies spreading anymore hysterical myths. Jones is irresponsible and a danger to US as a multiracial country. Jones is a danger because he speaks and acts radically, he should not be in government.
    Note in the references of his speeches his "racist" remarks. Intolerable. I could imagine if it were coming from a Cabinet member of a previous White House Administration!

    The article in part states...

    Mr. Jones's troubles aren't over. House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence, of Indiana, called for Mr. Jones to resign. And Sen. Kit Bond, a Missouri Republican, called on Democrats Friday to hold a Senate hearing into what he called "Mr. Jones's continuing erratic and outrageous behavior."

  • Look at the hype put on the Obama blog! Can a reasonable person put their minds around this? Using 9/11/2001 to abuse verbally abuse our citizens again?
    The article states in part...
    By JAMES TARANTO
    Yesterday we argued that President Obama has been distracted from the war on terror by his extremist domestic agenda. To some of his supporters, however, they are one and the same.

    The Heritage Foundation's Rory Cooper describes a post on BarackObama.com, the Web site of Organizing for America, the Democratic National Committee's permanent campaign. The post urges Obaminions to "burn up" the Senate's switchboards with phone calls demanding the enactment of ObamaCare. (Switchboards? What's the matter with telegrams and carrier pigeons?) The idea is to concentrate the calls on a single day to get the senators' attention. The day: next Friday.

    That would be Sept. 11, the eighth anniversary of the attacks that changed America before Barack Obama changed it back. The significance of the date is not lost on the organizers of the war-dialing effort. As the post explains (quoting verbatim)"

    read the hype!!

  • This is from a former decorated CIA Expert. He speaks out on Holder and the facts of his contribution to our Country AND where Holder's allegiance lies.
    The article in part states these personal facts...
    "Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, CIA officers, both the contractors and the overextended staff officers, launched dozens of initiatives. The CIA Counterterrorism Center's motto, "Deny, Disrupt, Destroy," became the reason for our living. We left our families for months on end and sacrificed personal and professional lives to fight the Global War on Terror (GWOT). Google "Jihadists in Paradise," for an unauthorized account of one of my contributions (I have been advised that I can neither confirm nor deny). "

  • The pretty reality star "is a STAR" she chooses life for her baby!

    The article in part reports Kourtney as saying...

    "I definitely thought about it long and hard, about if I wanted to keep the baby or not, and I wasn't thinking about adoption. I do think every woman should have the right to do what they want, but I don't think it's talked through enough. I can't even tell you how many people just say, 'Oh, get an abortion.' Like it's not a big deal."

  • The article states in part..

    You know this is important polling news, because the establishment media is pretending it doesn't exist.

    You can't find a relevant reference to it in searches on "Gallup" at the New York Times, AP.org, the Washington Post, or the LA Times. A Google News search on "Gallup conservatives outnumber liberals" (not in quotes) comes up with all of eight results.

    The Non media, they must not be reading the Gallup Reports that the Conservatives Outnumber Libs in All 50 States. Maybe the Obama Administration told them they didn't have to read the Polls of We the people, kinda like Obama told the Representatives they didn't have to read the Stimulus.
    I guess the Gallup Polls CAN REPORT and the Conservatives CAN READ!

  • The article starts in part...

    "President Obama has promised a "new era of transparency" in Washington, so perhaps he should talk to the Senate about getting with his program. On July 15, six weeks ago, the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee passed an amended $1 trillion health-care bill, with acting Chairman Chris Dodd calling it a "historic achievement." Too bad the committee won't reveal this history even to other Senators, much less to the public."

    I think the hypocrasy of the Obama Administration on the albatross around our neck, known as the government health care bill is almost reckless misrepresentation and deception. There are laws in any business or contract law about misrepresentation, or deceptive misleading language, etc., I guess that this does not pertain to the highest office in the land? Obama and those who Represent his policies(not We the people) can continue with the lies and there is no challenge for the injustice of it???
