A Couple of Things...

obama really is serious about creating jobs. The two buses that were commisioned for the president, costing $1.1 million dollars each were all custom made... in Canada. See, he is all about stimulating the economy and putting people to work, just not in this Country.

Did you know that 1 in 7 people in this Country are now on food stamps? Did you know that food stamps are a form of economic stimulus? Well, according to obama's secretary of agriculture that's exactly what they are. This is what tom vilsack actually said -
When you talk about the SNAP program or the food stamp program, you have to recognize that it’s also an economic stimulus… If people are able to buy a little more in the grocery store, someone has to stock it, package it, shelve it, process it, and ship it. All of those are jobs. It’s the most direct stimulus you can get in the economy during these tough times.
Can you imagine though, how much of an economic stimulus it would be if the people drawing food stamps had good paying jobs and spent a portion of their paycheck at the grocery store?

It really seems as if this administration takes pride in the number of people on food stamps. If I were the guy in charge, my goal would be to have the fewest people possible drawing food stamps, unemployment or any other type of government check, including paychecks.

People want to work. They want to make a better life for themselves and their children.

Creating an environment of dependence on the government isn't good for the economy, it's the exact opposite. Especially when that environment is created through poor management, over regulation, over taxation and reckless spending.

Freshman Congressman Leads Charge Against Obama Recess Appointments

Why does this have to be left to the freshman congressmen? This should be a concern to ALL congressmen. Republicans and democrats. These types of appointments should never be done. It circumvents the entire process, a process that is in place for many valid reasons. These appointees should be vetted and their confirmation voted on. Allowing obama (or any president) to continue to throw the process out of the window is unacceptable. Especially in the case of obama, who has a history of choosing radical, socialist thugs for positions of power.

Freshman Congressman Jeff Landry, R-La., says that President Obama is misusing recess appointments, and he's going to do something about it.

"When the president puts up nominees, they go through the confirmation process, and the senate blocks them or doesn't confirm them, and then he waits for a recess appointment just to appoint those people. He is circumventing the Constitution," said Landry on Fox News Saturday.

"When we have 9 percent unemployment we don't want appointees by the president who are going to do more to stifle this economy," added Congressman Landry.

To attempt to keep that from happening, Landry has drafted a letter that was signed by more than 70 freshman congressmen, saying that they would hold sessions in shifts to keep the House and Senate from going into recess, starting with their next scheduled break in August.

"I think it's not only an important issue for me, but a lot of my freshmen colleagues who came to Washington to hold this administration and this federal government accountable. It's our responsibility," said Landry.

Congressman Landry says the Senate needs to take responsibility as well.

"Look the senate hasn't done much this year, so I don't see why they can't take up his nominees and go through the confirmation process," said Lee.

You can see the list of freshmen who have signed onto the pledge on Landry's website.

Stealing the Election of 2012

It's funny, most people stroll through life never imagining that stuff like this could or does happen, but it's real. This is the kind of crooked crap that acorn is infamous for. And obama is tied to them in many different ways.

I'm not going to pretend that there is no Republican voter fraud, but it is nothing like what is done by the democrats, acorn and other groups like them. These guys are organized and it is on a large scale.

There has never been a politician though, as actively involved in massive voter fraud as obama and his group of chicago thugs. The people of chicago have come to expect this type of behavior from their politicians. It has been "normal" there for many decades. Lucky us, we now get to experience it at the National level.

You can guess what kind of plans obama and his crooked thug friends are making even as I write this. The economy is in the toilet. Unemployment is out of control. obama's poll numbers are dropping like a rock. obamacare is a turd in the punchbowl. They have nothing to run on, not a damn thing. So what does a good democrat do in that situation? Cheat. It's what they are planning RIGHT NOW.

It's also interesting that the justice department can suddenly decide not to enforce a piece of a federal law. Not the entire law, just those portions that make it hard for democrats to cheat. Do you think they would change their minds and start enforcing that piece if the accusations were against Republicans? Yep, me too. They would be all over it like stink on shit.

There has never been an administration as corrupt and crooked as this gang of thugs and thieves we have now. There is no way obama will win in 2012, but it will probably be him taking the oath of office in January 2013. Remember this post, think about it after the election...

By Roger Hedgecock - Human Events

Americans take the integrity of our elections for granted. Every citizen has an equal right to vote, and every vote cast is counted. Rubbish.

The voter rolls of this country are stuffed with illegal aliens, felons and dead people, who not only vote, they vote overwhelmingly Democrat.

Citizens in uniform serving overseas, who might vote Republican, are routinely denied the right to vote when ballots are mailed "too late" to be returned in time to count. When a Republican wins a close race, uncounted ballots are "found" in the backseat of a Democrat poll worker's car.

American elections are getting more corrupt every election year.

I heard Debbie Wasserperson-Schultz still whining the other day about the 2000 presidential election in Florida. You know, the one President Gore won, but Bush stole—even though every time the New York Times and other Democrat lapdog media counted and recounted those Florida ballots, Bush still won.

The Democrats don't care about the facts of Florida 2000. They need the Gore-win myth to cover their own deliberate corruption of the election process.

Jimmy Carter shows up in every other country's election as a "fairness" monitor. He ought to stay home and monitor the tide of corrupt elections about to crest in 2012, when the Democrats plan to steal an Obama reelection win fair and square.

The plan goes something like this.

1) Sign up illegal aliens to vote.

I walked door-to-door in 2010 canvassing for Republican congressional candidate Van Tran in the Anaheim, Calif.,-area district now represented by Democrat Loretta Sanchez. Our team ran across people who were listed as registered voters in rolls obtained from the county registrar who openly admitted they were illegal and stated they could not vote and had never voted.

How did the illegals get on the voter roll? The federal Motor Voter Law requires local welfare offices, social service agencies and motor vehicle departments to offer voter registration forms to everyone who comes in, no questions asked. ACORN-like groups have long practiced signing up new "voters" at places where illegals congregate.

In California, the voter registration card requires a check in the box stating you are a citizen of the U.S. The box is always checked and nobody ever questions it.

Does the illegal alien actually vote? Apparently not. Another box on the registration form requests a permanent mail-in ballot be sent to the "voter." The mailing address is different from the "voter's" residence address, meaning that the the illegal alien "voter" never receives a ballot and never votes. The mail-in ballots are sent to another location and someone else votes and mails back the ballot for the new "voter."

Random checks of these mailing addresses show the same addresses over and over. This is election fraud on an organized level. It's going on now in every state.

Any attempt to stop this corruption would cause Obama to go to court to defend the right of illegals to register to vote

The Obama administration is infamously suing Arizona for daring to enforce federal immigration laws that Obama will not enforce. One such Arizona law requires people registering to vote to provide proof of citizenship. The case of Gonzalez v. State of Arizona challenges the validity of that law.

Last week, the Obama Justice Department filed a late amicus brief in the Gonzalez case urging the court to find that Arizona may not require information to validate claims of citizenship made on a voter registration form.

2) Sign up felons to vote.

Following the 2000 showdown in Florida, the Democrats started a nationwide campaign to register felons to vote. A 2004 editorial in the New York Times, for example, criticized Florida for purging 47,000 felons from the voting rolls while admitting that Florida law barred felons from voting. The editorial castigated 35 states that likewise had some level of restriction on voting by felons.

Time magazine, The Washington Post, the ACLU and Human Rights Watch all chimed in on the unfairness of barring the felon vote. The demand for "reform" became universal when polling showed that felons would overwhelmingly vote Democrat.

By 2011, only two states, Kentucky and Virginia, continue to bar felons from voting for life. All other states have "reformed" their voting laws to allow the felon Democrat vote to be counted in 2012.

3) Keep the voting dead on the rolls.

Dead Democrat voters are a tradition in Chicago. Today the tradition is metastasizing to the rest of the country.

In 2011, for example, the state of Ohio reported that 18,500 dead people were still listed as voters. Local registrars were requested to purge the rolls of dead people as required by Ohio law and apparently not consistently done.

A report from Houston, Tex., tells of 4,462 dead voters still on the rolls there, many still voting. Relatives of these dead voters expressed shock that their deceased loved ones were still so involved in politics.

Obama is an activist in this campaign to protect illegal, felon and dead Democrat voters.

A lesser-known provision of the federal Motor Voter law requires all states to make sure no ineligible persons (illegals, felons or dead people) get on the voter rolls. In November 2009, Deputy Assistant Attorney General Julie Fernandez (an Obama political appointee) told a stunned gathering of the Justice Department's Voting Section that her office would no longer enforce that section of the law.

Fernandez's exact quote was, "We have no interest in enforcing this provision of the law. It has nothing to do with increasing turnout, and we are just not going to do it."

All over the country, legislation to require voters to present identification at the polling booth is opposed by Obama's Justice Department.

Democratic National Committee head Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has claimed that requiring people to present I.D. would deter voting, just as Jim Crow laws in the South used to do.

For the younger reading audience, Jim Crow laws (poll tax, literacy test to vote) were passed by Democrats to stop black American citizens from voting. Stopping ineligible voters protects the rights of all citizens.

Living, law abiding citizens just have to wonder, when they present an I.D. to conduct just about any kind of business in their daily lives, why the integrity of the vote shouldn't be protected by requiring voter I.D. at the polls.

Of course if that were required, Obama might not be reelected
