The Democrats Are Eating Their Own

 Let’s face it folks,  Barak H. Obama, the President of these United States, has been having some more bad days!  “Obama scare”, his health plan, is proving too complicated to administer and too costly to fund. Even long-time party friends are looking for ways to stop what appears to be an out of control steam roller destroying everything good about health care in our nation. Our only hope is that the U.S. Congress will choose not to fund the program in its present form.

   Everyone knows that Barak had very little work experience before he moved to the White House. I guess this is the real reason that he spends so much time away from Washington. Lacking expertise in administration, he hates being in an office where his knowledge in this area becomes far too eviden

   Among the White House staff, he seems to be known for his ability to “evade” office duties and on very short notice, order his Air Force #1 crew to fly off to a far away state or nation to handle what turns out to be a problem that any state department clerk could have taken care of.  His flight crew must look forward to days when their airplane is scheduled for mandatory maintenance and won’t be flying.  Only then can they be reasonably sure  that they won’t be spending the night in some foreign capital, far from home.

   Well into his second term, he is starting to have problems with the press. They were so much friendlier during his first four years. Now since that”Benghazi 9-11 thing”, Eric Holder’s “Fast and Furious” adventure, and the “Clinton bottle blond’s” deserting him, things are really starting to get akward.  When all is said and done, Hillary was the person most responsible for the failure to provide adequate security at Bengazi, thus causing the deaths of the four Americans. She was the Secretary of State. As  she is the Democrat’s most probable presidential candidate for 2016, he had to let her leave.  He could not risk having her image damaged by the congressional investigations that will soon begin.  Things back in Chicago were never this complicated!

For damage control, they will find some State Department foreign service officer near retirement to take the blame for Benghazi.  While the person who really was responsible for the lack of response on the night of 9-11 is Barak, he will get off the hook once again.  After he had received an “early evening” phone report of the attack, he took no further action.  After all, he had an important speech in Las Vegas the next day and he had to get ready for that. It must not be easy being president? 

Now the hot news, his own party now wants to talk to the “Whistle Blowers” from Bengazi.   More to come?

Someone Should Have Warned Us About ObamaCare

Wait they did warn us.  We were cautioned time and again about this pig in a poke, but although we could read … we didn’t heed.  Much more important — the progressives among us in positions of power had to vote for it so they would know what was in it.  Well, more and more of the future damage and verification of the big lie that is ObamaCare is coming out.

They Say, “Our Work For Next Week Is Repeal.”

President Barack Obama meets with Speaker Nanc...

Quote Freely From The Article – Leave The Pseudonym Alone

The US House of Representatives, at least the representative on the Republican side,  say they will begin repeal of President Obama’s (as it is known) ObamaCare legislation.  Some say the odds for success for a complete repeal are zero to none, but others say repeal is a sure thing.

I believe something between outright repeal in both houses and a compromise of some sort is most likely to occur.  I also believe, had there not been such a rush to pass the bill over the objections of what has been said to be a majority of those polled, we might have been able to craft a plan suitable to most American citizens.  Perhaps such an effort to listen will work now, but the process will have to get past the vitriol and distrust from many previously shown in both houses.

Reuters (USEdition) has posted a story by their reporters, Donna Smith and Thomas Ferraro, reporting on the statements and plans for the republican effort and there’s seems no lack of confidence for success on the part of the republican leadership.  The article correctly states work had been scheduled to begin for repeal of the bill for this week, but the tragedy in Tucson caused a delay in the beginning of the process:

“As the White House noted, it is important for Congress to get back to work, and to that end we will resume thoughtful consideration of the health care bill next week,” said Brad Dayspring, a spokesman for House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.

“Americans have legitimate concerns about the cost of the new healthcare law and its effect on the ability to grow jobs in our country,” he added.

The vote is set for Wednesday, said another Republican aide who asked not to be identified.

Both sides believe, or say they believe, their position is the correct and true side of the issue and offer further arguments in trying to convince the public their path is valid and will ultimately succeed:

The House is also expected to vote on a second measure that would instruct three House committees to develop replacement healthcare legislation that would, among other things, “foster economic growth and private sector job creation by eliminating job-killing policies and regulations.”

Democrats argue the healthcare overhaul that was signed into law last year will expand coverage to millions of uninsured Americans and help rein in soaring medical costs. But Republicans argue the coverage mandate in the legislation is unconstitutional and that penalties for employers who do not provide coverage discourage hiring.

Whatever may happen in the immediate future, it should be remembered that legal challenges to the bill are still pending which may or may not do away with the need for repeal of the bill.  This and other remaining issues, are found by reading the entire Reuters article found by clicking here and accessing links found below.

“Are You Serious?” She Asked.

Quote Freely From The Article – Leave The Pseudonym Alone

The answer, in so many words, to House Speaker Pelosi’s question was,  yes.  It now seems that the question was well-asked and vindication belongs to the reporter asking the question.  And, it seems for good reason as many have thought since the rapid passage of ObamaCare.   At least for a brief period, if not longer.

If you haven’t figured it out, the subject at this point is a Virginia federal court’s decision announced today.  The court has ruled that ObamaCare, in-so-far as it requires citizens to purchase healthcare insurance from the government or its contractors is in violation of the commerce clause of the US Constitution.  We’ll get to some of what the judge had to say, but first let’s go back to capture what Madame Speaker once uttered.  Today CNSNews.com in a story by Matt Cover hurled back to October 22, 2009:

When CNSNews.com asked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday where the Constitution authorized Congress to order Americans to buy health insurance–a mandate included in both the House and Senate versions of the health care bill–Pelosi dismissed the question by saying: “Are you serious? Are you serious?”

The Speaker Speaks

I’m surprised the Speaker would ask a question to which she would know the answer.  She would know the answer or she was being disingenuous due to the question having been asked by a reporter from a conservative news organization and not a more progressive one.  Pelosi is reported to have shook her head before going to questions from other reporters and her press spokesman got into the mix from there:

Pelosi then shook her head before taking a question from another reporter. Her press spokesman, Nadeam Elshami, then told CNSNews.com that asking the speaker of the House where the Constitution authorized Congress to mandated that individual Americans buy health insurance as not a ”serious question.”

“You can put this on the record,” said Elshami. “That is not a serious question. That is not a serious question.”

We now know that at least one federal judge has felt the question was serious enough to rule as indicated above, two judges have ruled otherwise and 20 states (at least) have yet to hear a verdict on their challenges.  We have read and heard that many judicial experts expect the case to end up before SCOTUS … perhaps on an accelerated calendar.

It continues then, and we can expect other decisions to issue forth from the courts in various federal jurisdictions.  What was that about the wheels of justice grinding exceedingly slow?  You can read the remaining part of the CNS report with a click here.

Flap of the cap to CNS and Mr. Cover.

Quote Freely From The Article – Leave The Pseudonym Alone

We’ll be posting a link to the story of  Senator Bernie Sanders, (I-VT) and his long-lasting solo act, but the partial question above has to do with the many posters on the comment sections under the linked article, that have given the Senator hero status against or over the Co-President Bill Clinton and our current President Barrack Obama AND all the Republicans.  I’m sure you know how to access the comments and I’ll only caution you to remember some of the inconsiderate posters have juvenile potty mouths … so you are forewarned.

As to the link to the story, I’m sorry it has no video.  But I wouldn’t subject you to eight or nine hours of great speeches from our nation’s founding fathers, much less what some would call harrumphing and haranguing  from a seasoned citizen.  A hero to Vermonters and others he may be, and you have to respect him his energy and dedication, whether well placed or off-track, but he should consider his vocal cords and cut the time he spends on his effort to take away tax breaks for those who may need and want them.

The article makes reference to the Senator as “Filibernie,” but I just know someone else will come up with “FullofBernie,” so I’d like to lay claim to the nickname or appellation before someone else grabs it .  That is not to say that he is full of himself, but it signifies that the Senate chambers was full of his speechifying for at least a third of a day.  The article comes from, The Hill’s, BLOG BRIEFING ROOM and it is by Jordan Fabian.  You’ll find it below:

The Taj Mahal Hotel, built by the Tata family ...

Quote Freely From The Article – Leave The Pseudonym Alone

Wow!  Tell us it is untrue or a conspiracy of lies from Republicans.  The following should be required reading for those who fail to understand the true cost of so-called governance.  While millions of ordinary citizens in the United States are trying to hold on to the few disposable dollars they might have, we have top-level government officials galloping with the gold outside the United States.  Read it and weep and if you don’t weep, I’m not sure you are giving this story due consideration.  According to an article in The Economist - India Times:

US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle will be extremely busy in Mumbai, upon landing on November 6 for a two-day India visit. As the world’s most powerful man and his wife zip around the city visiting the 26/11 memorial on Marine Drive, the National Centre for Performing Arts (NCPA), Mani Bhawan and other locations in south Mumbai, the security obviously will be water-tight .

Water-tight, well maybe, but the cash belonging to the crazy citizens of the United States is sure  going to flow.  Ridiculously and outrageously, we believe, because there seems  no semblance of good old American common-sense for anything like this to happen during these  terrible economic times.  It will help India at a time when they need little help from this administration … even if we could find anything in our pocket books besides space.  Look at more of this story, but don’t faint at the money being thrown away:

To ensure fool-proof security, the President’s team has booked the entire the (sic) Taj Mahal Hotel, including 570 rooms, all banquets and restaurants. Since his security contingent and staff will comprise a huge number, 125 rooms at Taj President have also been booked, apart from 80 to 90 rooms each in Grand Hyatt and The Oberoi hotels. The NCPA, where the President is expected to meet representatives from the business community, has also been entirely booked. (emphasis, all mine)
The officer said, “Obama’s contingent is huge. There are two jumbo jets coming along with Air Force One, which will be flanked by security jets. There will be 30 to 40 secret service agents, who will arrive before him. The President’s convoy has 45 cars, including the Lincoln Continental in which the President travels.” (emphasis, again mine)

Since Obama will stay in a hotel that is on sea front, elaborate coastal security arrangements have been made by the US Navy in consonance with the Indian Navy and the Coast Guard. “There will be US naval ships, along with Indian vessels , patrolling the sea till about 330-km from the shore. This is to negate the possibility of a missile being fired from a distance,” the officer said.

The President will be accompanied by his chefs, not because he would not like to savour Indian cuisine, but to ensure his food is not spiked.

I don’t suppose, Mr. Obama and his spouse could have planned a virtual trip to India, where they could travel by laptops, and the cost could be met with a couple of ten spots.  This small sojourn is completely out of sight, in so many ways,  in this time.

Oh, if you might wonder, I feel the same should apply for past presidents who travel with an entourage of Secret Service personnel and our Congress members and their staff who waste our money on their magic carpets to far distant lands.  Stay home and tend to business … really tend to business.

If you aren’t sick now, perhaps the rest of the story will lead you to the slop jar.  Maybe, India will float a loan to us to pay for the trip.  Any chance this waste might have an impact on the general election, or is the question inappropriate?
