Obama White House Hands Out 111 Obamacare Waivers - Hides It on Website
   (click picture to view the video)
   

The Obama Administration gives ObamaCare waivers to 111 fat-cat corporations and hides the information deep on the HHS website.  Essentially, the Obama Administration is admitting that ObamaCare is a job-killer and to add insult to injury, the Administration is now deciding (arbitrarily), which corporations are exempt from this job-killing and draconian law.

The Obama Administration has handed out 111 Obamacare waivers to US companies... And, they're hiding this from the American public. It takes 6 clicks to find out this information on the Health Care website.   Unfortunately, if you're a small business or don't have connections you can't get a waiver for your company. That's the new reality under the Obama-Pelosi regime.

o'illegal - States' Immigration Laws: NumbersUSA v La Raza (video 8m59s)

video source:
"Illegal aliens and their 'fellow travelers' are the 'tail wagging the dog.'" -- rfh
Report: Thu Oct 28, 2010 by Liz Goodwin
25 states considering Arizona-style immigration laws
     An immigrant-rights group has released a report(PDF) predicting that 25 states may try next year to pass anti-illegal-immigration laws similar to Arizona's controversial legislation.
    The number of states considering legislation modeled after SB1070, the bill that Arizona GOP Gov. Jan Brewer signed into law this spring, is apparently growing: Earlier, pro-enforcement groups said 22 states were considering the bill, the Washington Independent's Elise Foley notes.
     The new efforts are going forward even after a federal judge ruled key parts of the Arizona law unconstitutional and enjoined its enforcement in Arizona in July.  That decision is now under appeal before the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court.
[Rewind: Mexican government slams Arizona immigration law]
     Georgia, Mississippi, Oklahoma and South Carolina are most likely to pass a similar law next year, the new report says. Tennessee, Utah, Florida, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Texas, Arkansas, Indiana, Colorado, Virginia, Minnesota, Missouri, Idaho and Kansas made the report's "maybe" list. In Maryland, Nevada, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Michigan, Ohio and Rhode Island, the legislation is seen as less likely to pass.
    The report notes that from 2006 to 2008, municipalities passed a host of local laws and statutes cracking down on employers hiring illegal immigrants.
     This next wave of legislation, the report says, will be aimed at getting local law enforcement to check immigration status in routine police stops, as SB1070 mandates.
     Lawmakers may be influenced by how the Ninth Circuit rules on SB1070, and how the Supreme Court rules on the state's 2007 employer-sanction law passed. Finances may also influence local politicians' decisions, as
more immigration-related arrests and court battles end up costing cities and counties that adopt such rules. [Rewind: Baseball alarmed by Arizona's policy]
     One industry stands to benefit from such laws.  In Arizona's case, the private prison industry helped guide the process that made SB1070 law and even gave the legislation its name while working with legislators, NPR reports.  Thirty of the cosponsors to SB1070 later received money from the private prison industry or its lobbyists.

o'illegal - Air Pelosi Plans to Resurrect "Dream Act" for Illegals

DREAM Act Threat Arises in the House; Act Now!NumbersUSA.com, Fr.12Nov10:Chris Chmielenski  
     Yesterday, reports surfaced that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to bring the DREAM Act to the floor for a vote during the lame-duck session, and it could happen as soon as next week.
     You've already sent 93,498 faxes and made thousands of more phone calls since the announcement, but we need more help.  If you haven't sent your faxes, please do so now.  Then, we need you to call your Three Members of Congress at their Capitol Hill offices.  The number for the Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.  Congress is definitley hearing from the pro-amnesty folks, so we need you to counter those efforts TODAY and make sure Congress hears from the millions of Americans who used their vote last week to oppose Amnesty!
     On Election Day, there was a dramatic shift in the Immigration Balance of Power.  Speaker Pelosi and the pro-amnesty groups know the lame-duck session may be their last chance to pass the DREAM Act.  The bill aims to provide an amnesty for illegal aliens who are college bound or serve in the military, but it goes much further.  Millions more illegal aliens would receive the amnesty, and the bill contains no provisions to increase enforcement or secure the border.
     It's been a long election season, and we know the winter holidays are right around the corner.  The DREAM Act supporters are counting on the fact that amnesty opponents will be distracted during the lame-duck session.  Prove them wrong and take 5 minutes to let your Members of Congress know how you feel!

o'bamanomics - Global Revolt Against Fed's Dollar Devaluation (Liberty Action Report)

From: Americans for Limited Government Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2010 Subject: Global Revolt Against Fed's Dollar Devaluation

 
     The global revolt against U.S. dollar devaluation continues.  Now China is calling for the G20 to have a role in Federal Reserve policy.  So is Russia.  Adding to the escalation, China's credit rating agency has once again downgraded the U.S. credit rating, as reported by Reuters
     While the Fed and Obama prattle on about targeting unemployment and trying to restore economic growth, the whole world sees the Fed's decision to print $600 billion to buy treasuries for what it is: Papering over the debt.
     Interestingly, in the Reuters report, they quote Herbert Kaufman, professor emeritus of the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University as saying, "Since they are a large holder of U.S. Treasuries. it is not to their advantage to downgrade."
     Except it was not a hypothetical.  They have downgraded us, because they understand that printing hundreds of billions of monopoly money is nothing more than the "pretended payment" of debt Adam Smith warned against in The Wealth of Nations.
     This is getting bad.  If tough decisions are not made to balance the budget, pay down the debt, and stabilize the dollar, we are likely in just a few years to lose our status as the world's global reserve currency.  Our creditors are getting ready to pull the plug.  They are reaching the tipping point.
     What is the tipping point? Nobody knows for certain.But the numbers speak for themselves. The Chinese hold $868 billion of treasuries. The Fed will print about $600 billion every year for the next three years to buy treasuries, increasing its own balance sheet from $2.34 trillion to $4.14 trillion if all other things remain constant. That will increase the Fed's treasuries holdings to $2.6 trillion.
     That's a 76 percent increase in the Fed's balance sheet, which when you factor in leveraging and the central bank's lending capacity throughout the banking system, could in theory result in about a 38 percent depreciation of the dollar. But it could be worse, when you consider that the Fed's purchases will constitute a 214 percent increase in the central bank's treasuries holdings.
     So, if you're China, you either 1) hold onto your assets (and keep buying) and eat the 38 percent loss; 2) slow down purchases and still take a 38 percent loss; 3) stop purchases and accept the 38 percent loss on remaining assets; or 4) stop buying and actively dump the assets as fast as possible for whatever you can get because the dollar depreciation will actually be much larger than 38 percent.
     The tipping point is fear. It is panic. It is when the Chinese and others believe they will get less money in return for holding the assets than by selling them for whatever the market will fetch.
     The dynamic where countries keep pouring money into U.S. debt is definitely subject to change because it is based on market variables. In this case, the variables are rather predictable. The more treasuries the Fed buys, the less marketable they become, the less China and others buy, and therefore the more the Fed needs to buy to finance the U.S. spending obligations which are unsustainable.
     That is the dollar run.
     It'll be like a tsunami once it gets going — fast and merciless.  Keep your eyes on this.  Both our monetary and fiscal authorities are playing with fire.  They are assuming that the current monetary system with the dollar being the world's peg will not change, when everything changes.  We're staring a global currency crisis right in the eyes.
     In today's Liberty Action Report, Fred Upton has not earned a promotion, a tree falls in the woods, the death tax is about to rise from the grave, and Republicans must heed voters' concerns to avoid extinction.  Plus, Sarah Palin makes the case for a stable dollar.
     Please send your letters to the editor to Robert@getliberty.org. We publish all points of view! Today, Sanna Huebschmann of Wisconsin writes to our action alert to incoming members of Congress and returning members to urge them to tie any increases in the national debt ceiling to sharp spending reductions:
"Why are we advocating raising the debt limit, AT ALL?"
Great question.
     Ideally, ALG supports freezing the debt ceiling at about $15 trillion (to account for the $1.3 trillion or so budget deficit Pelosi and Reid are handing off to the new majority), and then balancing the budget from here on in and paying down the debt. We advocated for that position here:
And here:
     But even that contemplates raising the ceiling by another $700 billion or so from its current $14.3 trillion level. What we're saying with the action alert is that the least Republicans can do is tie any future increases in the debt ceiling to gargantuan spending cuts.
     Ultimately, we'd like to prevent the nation from ever defaulting. But that's the trajectory we're on. If the dollar loses its status as the global reserve currency, we will not be able to meet our obligations. And if we continue destroying the value of the dollar, we will certainly lose that status. So, step one is to stop devaluing the dollar. And that has to mean balancing the budget and paying down the debt.
     How far along we get will largely be up to House Republicans.

For Liberty, Robert Romano, Senior Editor of ALG News - www.getliberty.org
The estate tax will go from zero to 55 percent at the end of the year.
Republicans can avoid extinction if they take voters' message to heart.

Be Prepared - A Suggested Survival List by Chuck Baldwin, November 4, 2010

From: "Chuck Baldwin" at http://ChuckBaldwinLive. com Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2010
Archived column: http://chuckbaldwinlive.com/home/?p=2504

     This column was initially released last June.  Without a doubt, this has been one of my most requested columns.  So, in response to the large number of readers who have asked me to re-release this column, I do so today.  And in doing so, I have added some new material to the original column.
     One does not have to be a prophet to know that we are on the precipice of some potentially catastrophic--or at the very least, challenging--days.  In fact, most of us are already in challenging days, and some are already enduring catastrophic events.  That is, if one would call being out of work, losing one's home, facing life-threatening medical conditions without any prospect of medical insurance, several families being forced to live in one house due to homes being foreclosed, etc. , catastrophic.
     The potential for an escalation of cataclysmic events, however, is very real.  Only a "blooming idiot" would call someone who attempts to prepare for "the day of adversity"  a Chicken Little now.  Anyone who does not see the storm clouds on the horizon isn't paying attention.
     For example, can one imagine what would happen if terrorists nuked a major American city or cities?  (Once again, I encourage readers to go get the videos of the CBS TV series "Jericho" to get an idea of how quickly life, and even civilization, could change. )  Imagine if there was another 9/11-type event.  What would happen if some form of Zimbabwe-style inflation hit the US?  What would happen if anything disrupted the distribution of Welfare checks, or food to local grocers?  Imagine a Hurricane Katrina-style natural disaster in your town.  I think people everywhere are beginning to awaken to just how vulnerable we all really are.
     As a result, people from virtually every walk of life have recently been asking my thoughts on how they should prepare.  Therefore, I will attempt to share with my readers some of the counsel I have given these folks.
     First, a disclaimer.  I am not an economist; I am not a survival expert; I am not a firearms expert; I am not an attorney; I am not a physician.  In fact, I am not an expert in anything! For several years, however, I have tried to learn from others.  I am an avid reader.  My work has allowed me to travel extensively.  I have had the privilege of sitting at the feet of--and learning from--many of America's most learned, most trained, and most qualified "experts" in a variety of fields.  What I write today, I have learned from others.  I've formed my own opinions and priorities, of course, but everything I'm sharing has been said, or written about, before.  But if I can share something in today's column that will help someone be better prepared for the days to come, then my goal will have been achieved.
Location:
     First, analyze your living conditions.  Where do you live?  Do you live in an urban or rural environment?  Is it a big city or small town?  Do you live in an apartment or condominium?  How close are your neighbors?  Do you even know your neighbors?  Would you trust them if the electricity was off and they were hungry?  Could you grow your own food, if you had to?  How easily could you secure your home?  If you live in a cold weather environment, how long could you stay warm without electricity?  These are the kinds of questions you need to ask yourself now.
     Over the past several decades, masses of people have migrated into large metropolitan areas.  More people live in urban areas than at any time in American history.  While this may be well and good for times of prosperity, it is an absolute nightmare in any kind of disaster.  Does anyone remember what New Orleans looked like after Hurricane Katrina came through?  Can anyone recall what happened in downtown Los Angeles during the 1992 riots?  Needless to say, any inner-city environment could become a powder keg almost instantaneously, given the right (or wrong) circumstances.  And the bigger the city, the bigger the potential problems.
     If you live in the inner city, I suggest you consider moving to a more rural location.  Obviously, now is a very good time to buy property (especially rural property), but the downside is, selling property is not as favorable.  If you can afford it, now is a great time to buy a "safe house" outside the city.  If you are fortunate enough to have family or some true friends nearby, you might want to put your heads--and some resources--together in preparation for serious upheaval.  Obviously, a team of prepared people is much better than being alone.
     If you must stay in your urban location, have some commonsense plans in hand in the event of a major disaster.  Get to know your neighbors: find out whom you can trust and whom you can't.  Keep some extra gasoline on hand, in case you need to get in your car quickly and leave.  Have several exit routes planned ahead of time, in case roads are blocked.  Have a "bug-out" bag containing essential ingredients to live on for 3 or 4 days.  If leaving is not an option, have a plan to secure your home as best you can.  You'll need to think about things such as food, water, medicine, warmth, self-defense, etc.  But at this point, to do nothing is absolute lunacy!
Provisions:
     During a major disaster, food will quickly disappear.  Living for over 3 decades on the Gulf Coast, I can tell you with absolute certainty that whenever disaster strikes (usually an approaching hurricane, for us), food and provisions at the store sell completely out in a matter of a few hours.  People panic, and within hours, you cannot find food, bottled water, ice, generators, batteries, candles, etc.  In a matter of hours, every gas station in the area will be completely out of gas.  Not days.  Hours!
     Furthermore, almost all disasters include a complete loss of electricity.  The water supply is compromised.  Bottled water becomes more valuable than bank accounts.  Dehydration becomes a very real and present danger.  I remember witnessing a man offer an ice vendor $100 for an extra bag of ice during Hurricane Ivan.  My wife and I went 2 weeks (14 days) without electricity in the aftermath of that hurricane.  Believe me, I got a taste of just how precious bottled water, ice, batteries, generators, fuel, etc. , can become.
     I suggest you have a supply of food and water to last at least 2 weeks.  A month would be even better.  Personally, I can live a long time on tuna fish or peanut butter.  You can purchase MREs from a variety of sources, as well as "camp-style" packaged food from stores such as Academy Sports & Outdoors.  Of course, bottled water is available everywhere during normal times.  Stock up! Plus, I suggest you have some water purification tablets or a Katadyn water filter on hand.  And, if you are able, prepare to grow your own food.  Canning food is another very helpful hedge against deprivation.  If your parents were like mine, this was standard operating procedure.
     Get a generator.  Keep a supply of fuel on hand.  Stay stocked up on batteries, candles, portable lights, first aid supplies, and personal hygiene items--especially toilet paper.  Trust me, during times of intense and prolonged disaster, toilet paper could become more valuable than money.  I also suggest you never run out of lighters or matches.  You never know when you'll need to build a fire, and during a prolonged survival situation, fire could save your life.  If you live in a cold weather climate, you probably already have some sort of wood stove or fireplace.
     Obviously, you need to take stock of your clothing.  Do you have clothes suitable for extended outdoor activity?  What about boots?  During a disaster, you would trade your best suit from Neiman Marcus for a good pair of boots.  Do you have gloves?  Insulated underwear?  What about camouflage clothing?  These could become essential outerwear in the right conditions.  Plus, any "bug-out" bag will need to include spare clothing.
     Communication and medical provisions are also a high priority in any kind of emergency.  How will you communicate with your loved ones when the phones (including cell phones) go down?  A preordained rally point (or safe house) might be something to think about.  And what about medical supplies?  Do you have enough to take care of routine (and not-so-routine) emergencies?  What about your prescription drugs?  How long could you function if you were cut off from your druggist for any length of time?  Think about it now.
     And one more suggestion, while we're on this subject: the best resources in the world are of little use if one is physically incapable of making good use of them.  In other words, GET IN SHAPE.  During any kind of emergency situation, physical exertion and stamina become immensely important.
Commodities:
     I suggest you have at least some cash on hand.  Just about any and all disasters will result in banks being closed for extended periods of time.  That also means credit card purchases being suspended.  You need to have enough cash to be able to purchase essential goods (if they are even available) for an undetermined amount of time.
     Of course, some survival gurus insist that during any cataclysmic climate, precious metals will become the only reliable currency.  But when most of us are trying to feed our families and pay our bills, it is difficult to get excited about buying gold and silver.  Obviously, I would never recommend that anyone jeopardize the present on the altar of the future.  My parents made it through the Great Depression with canned goods and garden vegetables; gold and silver were certainly not a priority with them.  On the other hand, a little gold and silver could go a long way in a prolonged emergency--if you can afford it without jeopardizing present needs.
     In fact, in a disaster, what is considered a valuable commodity can change rather quickly, as the barter system takes a life of its own.  What is valuable is determined by what you need and how badly you need it.  In a prolonged disaster, simple things such as toilet paper, canned goods, ammunition, and clothing could become extremely valuable; while cars, video games, televisions, etc. , could be reduced to junk status.  In antiquity, wars were fought over things such as salt.
     Speaking of cars, remember that during a prolonged "national emergency" that might involve some sort of nuclear attack or widespread civil unrest, an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) might be employed; in which case, most every late model vehicle would be completely inoperable.  Accordingly, if one can keep an older, pre-computer-age vehicle in good working order, he or she might be driving the only non-government vehicle capable of going anywhere.
Self-Defense:
     Needless to say, during any kind of disaster, your safety and protection will be completely up to you.  If you really think that the police are going to be able to protect you during an upheaval, you are living in a dreamworld.
     In both the New Orleans and Los Angeles disasters, police protection was non-existent.  Lawless gangs quickly took control of the streets, and people were left to either defend themselves or swiftly become the helpless prey of violent marauders.  In fact, in New Orleans, some of the policemen actually abandoned their oaths to uphold the law and joined with the criminals, turning their weapons upon the public.
     Face it, folks: in any kind of disaster, you must be able to defend yourself, or you and your family will be meat for these animals of society that will quickly descend without mercy upon the unprepared, unsuspecting souls around them.  This requires that you be armed! It also requires that you be skilled enough to be able to efficiently use your arms.
     Therefore, I strongly suggest that you purchase firearms sufficient to keep you and your family safe, and also that you practice sufficiently to know how to use them.
     Now, when it comes to a discussion of which firearms are preferable for self-defense, the suggestions are as varied as the people who proffer them.  These are my suggestions:
     I believe every man (along with his wife and children of adequate age) should be proficient with the following weapons: a handgun in . 38 caliber or above, a . 22 rifle, a center-fire hunting rifle, a semi-automatic battle rifle, and a shotgun.
     My personal preference for a self-defense handgun is either a . 45 ACP 1911 (either Colt or Kimber) or a . 40 S&W.  In the . 40 caliber, my favorite is a Glock 23.  In the 1911, I like the Commander size configuration.  I also like the Glock 21, 30, and 36 in . 45 caliber.  My wife prefers to carry a Smith & Wesson . 38 caliber revolver in the snub-nose, J-frame configuration.  But this is primarily due to the reduced weight of these weapons for carry purposes.  If needed, she could make a good accounting of herself with a Glock 19 in 9mm.  If you are someone who has never owned and seldom fired a handgun, I recommend you buy a Glock.  They are as simple as revolvers to operate, reliable, and almost indestructible.  Plus, they provide increased magazine capacity, and are safe.  They are also very easy to disassemble and clean.  Of course, in dangerous game territory, you will need the power of a . 45 Long Colt, . 44 Magnum, or even a . 454 Casull.  These calibers are not for the limp-wristed, but when one is facing a brown bear or mountain lion, it is what one will need to survive.  Plus, when your life is on the line, you'll never feel the recoil.
     For a . 22 rifle, I really like the Ruger 10/22.  For a hunting rifle, my suggestion is either a . 270 or . 30-06 caliber bolt-action rifle.  I prefer the Remington Model 700 BDL or Browning X-Bolt, but there are several fine weapons in this configuration and caliber by numerous manufacturers.  In dangerous game territory, a Marlin . 45-70 could be a lifesaver.  For a battle rifle, I suggest an AR-15-style weapon (I prefer Bushmaster) in . 223 caliber or a . 308 Springfield M1A.  For a shotgun, I suggest a 12-gauge pump.  Here I prefer a Winchester Model 1300, which is not made anymore.  So, you'll probably have to choose between Mossberg and Remington.  For ladies, however, a 20-gauge shotgun is probably a better choice, and at "bad breath" range (where a shotgun shines, anyway), it is just as lethal.
     Whatever you choose, practice with it to the point that you are able to use it proficiently.  And be sure you stock up on ammunition.  A gun without ammo is reduced to being either an expensive club or a cumbersome paperweight.
     Go to your local independent sporting goods store (I don't recommend the large national chain stores to do your firearms shopping) and get to know your hometown firearms dealer.  Most of these people are kind and helpful folks who will be more than happy to assist you in finding exactly what type of firearm is suitable for you and your family.
Spiritual Power:
     I firmly believe that man is created to have fellowship with his Creator-God.  I really don't know how people can face the uncertain future that we currently face without the spiritual knowledge, wisdom, comfort, and power that is made available through Jesus Christ.  I believe the maxim is true: "Wise men still seek Him."  I strongly suggest that you seek to possess a personal relationship with God's only begotten Son.  In truth, spiritual preparation is far and away the most important preparation of all.  Accordingly, be sure to pack a copy of God's Word in your survival gear.
     That we are facing challenging days is a certainty.  Exactly what that means is yet to be determined.  I trust that some of my suggestions will help you be better prepared for what lies before us.  Plus, here is an excellent online Survival Blog chock-full of great suggestions and resources for all things survival.  Check it out:

     I am sure that I have left out several items that others more qualified than me would include.  I welcome their suggestions, as I am always desirous to learn from those who are wiser and more experienced.  In the meantime, remember your Boy Scout motto: "Be Prepared."

     P. S.  We are now successfully relocated in Kalispell, Montana.  Wow! What a view.  It's a balmy, sunny 55 degrees as I write this column.  I wish my patriot family (especially my Christian patriot family) could all join us here.  We are at the "tip of the spear" in the liberty fight.  We need as many patriots as possible to move to the Flathead Valley of Northwestern Montana.  Pray about it, folks!
     Letting everyone know, too, that our new ministry here in Montana is called "LIBERTY FELLOWSHIP. " For those who live within driving distance to the Kalispell area, we are searching for a meeting location and will let you know the location and times of our services as soon as possible.  Please also be assured that we will begin livestreaming my Sunday messages just as soon as we can purchase the equipment and get it all functional.
     Obviously, our move to Montana and the subsequent costs to establish our new ministry here is extremely expensive.  Needless to say, we knew this was going to be a step of faith at our age, but we had no idea how much so.
     Therefore, I am appealing to my friends and readers to make either a one-time contribution or a monthly contribution to LIBERTY FELLOWSHIP to help us establish this new work.  LIBERTY FELLOWSHIP is an outreach of ChuckBaldwinLive. com and gifts made are NOT tax deductible.  If you can help me get this new work started, please send your check or money order (we do plan to accept credit cards in the very near future) to:
     Liberty Fellowship P. O.  Box 10 Kila, Montana 59920
     Thank you very much for reading my columns and helping us fight the fight for God and freedom!

o'blamegame - Problems Left By Bush

From: jpl Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2010
This is a great lesson to understand as we enter the fall elections.  Politicians on both sides have a way of making things sound good, and even though true, are very misleading.  Progressives are killing this country, and we need to change course, but let's make sure we are dealing with a full deck.  Don't believe everything you hear.  Check it out before making up your mind.  We will be deciding this country's financial future............

                BUSH           OBAMA                              

     The  Washington Post babbled again .. about Obama inheriting a huge deficit from Bush. Amazingly enough, a lot of people swallow this nonsense. So once more, a short civics       lesson ... Budgets do not come from the White House.  They come from Congress, and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat Party.  They controlled the budget process for FY 2008 and FY 2009, as well as FY 2010 and FY 2011.  In that first year (2007), they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.
     For FY 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office.  At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the FY 2009 budgets. And where was Barack Obama during this time?  He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete FY 2009.  Let's remember what the deficits looked like during that period.
     If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the FY 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets.  That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending.  After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.  If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.
     In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.
Never Forget That:
    If not for the Great U.S.A. , there would be no free country on Earth.   In the morning, when you swing out of bed and your feet hit the floor, look down with the realization that you are standing on the freest land on Earth and accept your responsibilities to keep America free.  GOD BLESS AMERICA!

o'no we can't - CBS? NBC? ABC? An American Hero? Can't have that, can we.

From: piloto Sent: Saturday, October 23, 2010
After reading this see how this makes you feel about our 'land of the free and the home of the brave...'  Again I ask; 'what has happened to our country...?'
      "While the White House may not believe in American exceptionalism, it remains a fact.  And I'm thinking there's a whole bunch of people in Chile that would agree. Regarding the mine rescue, did you know:
  • The guy that designed the rescue module was a NASA Engineer?
  • The Drill was made by Schramm Inc. from Pennsylvania.
  • The Drill Bits were made by Center Rock, Inc. located in Berlin, Pennsylvania.
  • The lead driller Jeff Hart and his team are from Denver, Colorado.
  •  They are on loan from the US Military in Afghanistan where they are drilling water wells for our Forward Operating Bases.
      He spent the next 33 days on his feet, operating the drill that finally provided a way out Saturday for 33 trapped miners.  "You have to feel through your feet what the drill is doing; it's a vibration you get so that you know what's happening," explained Hart. Hart was called in from Afghanistan, "simply because he's the best" at drilling larger holes with the T130's wide-diameter drill bits. Standing before the levers, pressure meters and gauges on the T130's control panel, Hart and the rest of the team faced many challenges in drilling the shaft. At one point, the drill struck a metal support beam in the poorly mapped mine, shattering its hammers. Fresh equipment had to be flown in from the United States and progress was delayed for days as powerful magnets were lowered to pull out the pieces.

     The mine's veins of gold and copper ran through quartzite with a high level of abrasive silica, rock so tough that it took all their expertise to keep the drill's hammers from curving off in unwanted directions.  "It was horrible," said Center Rock President Brandon Fisher, exhausted after hardly sleeping during the effort.  Fisher, Stefanic and Hart called it the most difficult hole they had ever drilled, because of the lives at stake.  "If you're drilling for oil and you lose the hole, it's different.  This time there's people down below," Stefanic said.  "We ruined some bits, worked through the problems as a team, and broke through," Hart said.  "I'm very happy now."

     Miners' relatives crowded around Hart on Saturday, hugging and posing for pictures with him as he walked down from the rescue operation into the tent camp where families had anxiously followed his work.  "He's become the hero of the day," said Dayana Olivares, whose friend Carlos Bugueno is one of the miners stuck below.
     In a different day and age, Jeff Hart would be the most famous American in our country right now.   He would be honored at the White House.   Schoolchildren would learn of his skill and heroism.   But because Jeff Hart works in an industry currently  being demonized by the clowns currently ruining our country more people in Chile will celebrate this symbol of American greatness than in America itself."

(Apr11)   In 8 years, President Bush added $5 trillion to the national debt; President Obama, according to a revised Dec11 GAO report, added $4T+ to the U.S. deficit in 2011 alone!  The GAO estimates the deficit, including o'scamcare & mandates, may grow from $15T+ to over $26T+!  UPDATE: A little-noticed event occurred at approximately midnight on Monday, October 31, 2011.  The National Debt exceeded the GDP!  Imagine what these numbers are going to be now that Obama is reelected!

"Over the last four years our national debt has risen nearly $6 trillion, and just last week the debt topped an astounding $16 trillion.  To put that in perspective, $16 trillion is enough money to fund the US military, along with the military of every NATO country combined… for the next sixteen years!  Government spending is projected to hit $3.8 trillion this year alone.  Even after every tax dollar paid by Americans has been counted, the government will still overspend by another $1.13 trillion.  Every single second of the day our government spends over $12,000.  So in the time it takes you to read this article, roughly five minutes, our government has spent $3.6 million.  It take four seconds for the government to spend what the average American earns in an entire year."  (source: by Tim Phillips 17Sep12 at TownHall.com)
    "Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself.  They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence … From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to insure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable . . . the very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference – they deserve a place of honor with all that is good." -- George Washington
