See, there were at least that many government jobs created by this Administration.

Maybe President Obama should run for President of the EU... Now there's an idea.

For being such a "poor" country, I wonder who is really funding this $25M? Hopefully it's coming out of the $450M a year we've been providing them over the years & not another unpublicized "stimulus bill"? Hey, maybe our DHS Dir will implement the card being used here in qualifying whose "legal" or not... But then, do we really think the Drug Cartels & terrorists will participate in this program? Probably not... as they continue to ignore both Mexico's and the USA's drug and gun laws. Looks like "just" another Requirement that only law-abiding citizens will be obeying. Maybe it will assist Mexico in protecting their borders from the onslaught of American's and Terrorists illegally smuggling weapon's or taking jobs from Mexican citizens?

Reminds me of a quoted conversation years ago between Pres. Kennedy & his Secretary Mrs. Lincoln. Went something like this: Mr. President, why do you risk your life riding thru the crowds in your 'open' limo? and President Kennedy replied because those wanting to do me harm are those closest to me. In the 1940's Norman Thomas was quoted in a US Presidential campaign speech... Google his famous quotes an look for the one which starts out with "the American people..."

More people on these discussion grps need to wake-up & expose the behind closed door dealings. Just like his self-appointed Czars, what he can't pass thru Congress, he'll circumvent in other ways. I believe Chavez does the same thing in his own way Mon, 27 Dec 2010 12:48:04 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.cdc63f449543115516a6ee1f2c569704.171&show_article=1#IDComment118228349 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.cdc63f449543115516a6ee1f2c569704.171&show_article=1#IDComment118227884 Finally, other's like yourself who have seen thru his mask are sharing what many are afraid to divulge Mon, 27 Dec 2010 12:43:08 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.cdc63f449543115516a6ee1f2c569704.171&show_article=1#IDComment118227884 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.0c72364653fa48fde37dd48eded0946e.501&show_article=1#IDComment112105163 No surprise on Media bias. If "mainstream" had reported on just half the stuff on then Sen. Obama, he wouldn't be in office today. For the record, there are 57 Islamic States & Sen. Obama referenced campaigning in 57 States on 4-5 different occasions... so just a single "slip of the tongue". As for Gov. Palin, a poorly-timed slip of the tongue, which was immediately corrected... But ignored for obvious reasons. Regarding coming to the aid of our "dear" SKorean allies... Didn't they just spit in our eye on a recent trade agreement. Guess they need our friendship now.

People... whether its levying taxes and fees on small businesses, manufacturer's, oil companies, banks, your healthcare provider's, etc., THOSE fee's will be passed-down on us the consumer. Surely you don't really think the fore mentioned will absorb the penalties, fees, taxes, interest rates, etc. out of their own pockets do you???? It's called "the Nudge"... This Administration knows the American taxpaying citizen would NEVER go along with increasing their "taxes", but instead would "ok" banks & big business absorb the hit... Don't believe me... read Cass Sunstein's book entitled "Nudge"... Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth & Happiness (2008). If Sunstein's name rings a bell, he is another Harvard buddy of our President and on leave from Univ Chicago School of law while he fulfills his role as 'another' of many Obama Czar's as the current Admin of the Office of Information & Regulatory Affairs... authoring other books like "Why Societies Need Dissent" ('03) & "The Second Bill of Rights" ('01). As then Sen BO promised us, he would surround himself with those he admired and respected in guiding his agendas. In the "Nudge" the facts are laid out by the government to fit their means in convincing people to do things the governments way... (I say with the help of Mainstream Media), and when the people refuse to listen, the Gov't forces it down their throats (Hmm; HCR) because as another Obama supporter put it, we are like Homer Simson and just aren't capable of making the right decisions without Gov't direction. In the "Second Bill of Rights" he writes about "FDR's Unfinished Revolution and Why We Need it More Than Ever"... FDR was a Progressive people (formerly known as a Liberal)... and here is another name for you to Google if your wondering why we are where we are today (Norman Thomas 1884-1968).. check out his infamous quote about the "American People..." It's all there people... and your talented and highly investigative reporting Mainstream Media who can spend weeks on Lindsey Lohan, Michael Jackson, Mel GIbson, et al. just don't seem to be interested in reporting all the news we deserve to hear in exposing the "Truth"...

Truth is the Dem's (excuse me, "Progressives") are counting the 11-million illegal's which are about to receive Immediate access to the Polls once BO get's his Comprehensive Immigration bill which includes immediate AMNESTY. Then there's the Puerto Rico Democracy Act which was passed a couple months ago... which will bring in another 4 million votes and more Progressive Senators and Congressmen.... oh, and let's not forget the Felon's who will be voting and the disbanded ACORN groups who have established themselves under different Community and State Organizations.... So I guess we Won't be surprised.

I can assure you that while I do not agree with sending $400M to the Hamas-run Palestinian state... there were probably more innocent and oppressed Palestinian's trying to sustain Hamas rule by making ends meet like you and I, who were not dancing in celebration of our pain. With that, we don't have the Money to spend in the first place and filling Hamas's pockets isn't aiding the Palestinian people of need... and only projects us as being a "weaker" nation in their eye's. You may liken their situation to those in the US who have fallen victim to our own "Progressive" movement.... they wanted "change" out of desperation without understanding what the definition of "change" was. I respectfully request you Google Norman Thomas (1884 - 1968) and read his infamous quote (prophecy) around America's adoption of Socialism... As a Community Organizer, BO had previously influenced our Gov't into thinking "throwing" money into the welfare bucket would remedy drug's, poverty, crime, etc when in fact it never has and never will... as President, he maintains the same mentality with his social-economic agenda in redistributing the wealth... and it to will fail as those taking advantage of his generosity will dance in the streets as middle America pays the price of falling into another Depression. I got off on a tangent... Respectfully Wed, 9 Jun 2010 20:32:29 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=TX-PAR-BXL96&show_article=1#IDComment79352628 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=TX-PAR-BXL96&show_article=1#IDComment79349944 Respectfully, Your right... and prior to Bush as well... Problem is it didn't work before and it won't work now because you have Hamas in the mix. If BO is so damn smart, he wouldn't be repeating the errors of the past... Bush made his mistakes and obviously lost the trust of American's... but to compare GW to BO isn't even close... It's not hatred... its a lack of "respect" and "faith" placed as he repeatedly reinforces his limitations as a Community Organizer... Bush may have had Cheney... must BO has a laundry list of Tax evader's, Communist, ACORN, Joyce Foundation, CCX associates. Look, this guy's policies impact us all... Dem's, Repub's, Independent's, etc. so this goes far beyond the two of us... but as a uniter, he is alienating our allies in the UK, Israel, etc and despite his efforts to appease our enemies, how many terrorist attempts have taken place? They say 9-11 was in the making for at least 5-yr's... that means Clinton was in office in the early planning phases. Like it or not, while Bush may have initiated the recession (Dem's in control of Congress since '06)...BO has dug a much deeper hole for "our" country as we have surpassed $13 Trillion in debt on his own efforts, projected to hit $19 Trillion by 2015. Now is not the time to pass out $400 M to Palestine (Hamas) and just because GW did it, doesn't make this move a good one.

DId you really expect anymore... barely experienced as a Senator... Backed by Oprah... Soros... ACORN... SEIU, et al Maybe its a strategy to shure-up Hillary's candidacy in 2012 to keep another Progressive in office? Tragically, it will probably work as even she will appear to be more of a Centrist compared to BO... Let's hope America doesn't allow itself to be "duped" again Wed, 9 Jun 2010 19:53:46 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=TX-PAR-BXL96&show_article=1#IDComment79346762 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=TX-PAR-BXL96&show_article=1#IDComment79343666 Wasn't President Clinton under threat of "impeachment" for a simple "stain on a blue dress"?? How much was the laundry bill for that? How much has this President cost the American people so far...? While this President will never face impeachment... we can do the next best thing... and that is use the power of our "vote" starting in November and render him powerless... hoping we can "sustain" his spending and taxation until the 2012 election. Wed, 9 Jun 2010 19:39:26 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=TX-PAR-BXL96&show_article=1#IDComment79343666 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=TX-PAR-BXL96&show_article=1#IDComment79342605 I believe information like this is why there is a Big Push to "Tax" and or "Shut Down" the internet... how else can they control the information going to America. They have the Mainstream in their tank ... the internet is next as other "Freedom's" are under assault. We know their going after our 2nd Amendment, targeting the UN Small's Treaty as their "excuse" and "reasoning", but did you know they're going after the 17th Amendment??? Read it... and put more of the puzzle pieces together.

You were "duped"!!! There's an old saying... "be careful what you wish for..." and another... "it it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". Let's hope you've learned a valuable lesson moving into Nov elections & 2012 Presidential elections... Your Mainstream Media is not a reliable news source as they are under the influence of a much larger force. For now we "all must pay" for your error's in judgement and desperation. Wed, 9 Jun 2010 19:25:26 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=TX-PAR-BXL96&show_article=1#IDComment79341826 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=TX-PAR-BXL96&show_article=1#IDComment79337088 While on the topic of BO... tomorrow, Thursday, June 10, the Senate will vote on Senate Joint Resolution 26, to prevent the EPA from implementing its 'tailoring' rule. That rule would effectively allow the EPA to impose a cap and trade regime through regulation - one which Congress has been unwilling to implement via legislation. Under this cap-and-trade style regime, millions of American businesses - and other entities - would be required to obtain licenses for carbon emissions. This would dramatically increase energy prices, and force higher costs for everything Americans buy. If you were not aware of it before, start researching the "below" on the net in forming your own opinions when deciding where BO's, Al Gore's loyalties and interests really lie... and if you feel compelled, you may wish to reach out to your Senator's ASAP and ask them to support SJ Resolution 26 * Look up CCX, the Chicago Climate Exchange; They are projected to gross 10 Trillion a year if Cap-N-Tax passes. Prior to his election, President Obama played a pivotal role in the formation of the CCX years ago. * Years ago when Mr. Obama, Board Member of the "Joyce Foundation", funded the formation of the CCX. (Valerie Jarrett is still on the board, Pres. Obama’s top adviser.) Obama sat on board and allegedly funneled money to Bill Ayer’s brother and to form the CCX. (remember Billy Ayer's... his brief Chicago acquaintance * London-based Generation Investment Management sees the Trillions and they purchased a huge stake in Chicago Climate Exchange (fifth largest shareholder.) The founder of GIM is none other than former Vice President Al Gore along with Goldman people. For example other founders are David Blood (former Goldman executive), Mark Ferguson (Goldman) and Peter Harris (Goldman) to name a few. “ * Franklin Raines and bust Fannie Mae head, uses Fannie Mae (taxpayers money) to buy the technology to measure and manage carbon. The patent was award the day after Pres. Obama won the election. * Goldman Sachs owns ten percent of the CCX and its 10 Trillion a year potential. (CCX is 10% owned by Goldman Sachs (GS) and 10% owned by Generation Investment Management (GIM). There's more... and waiting for your discovery. Wake up America!!

I mirror the sentiment... "You've got to be kidding me..." $400M to the Palestinian's, which Hamas will have access to???? I'm sorry... but does anyone recall voting on this "stimulus" pkg?? Did the Senate or House vote on this?? Did we have a townhall on this?? Was this yet another back room, middle of the night vote over Memorial Day weekend? Is this the "Change" you people voted for?? Is this the "fundamental transformation" of our country you hoped for...? We are over $13 Trillion in debt with no clue how this and the next few generations will pay for that debt?? Is this a form of restitution to the Palestinian's? For what...? If it isn't evident by now to those who voted for this 'Community Organizer' that his interests do not exist for the magnitude of "our" country, but instead deeply rooted in providing social-economic justice to communities across the world at our expense... Was it not this President who told us months ago our spending and deficits are "unsustainable"... yet he is giving away our tax dollar's to Terrorist held countries.... Wake-up America!!! I believe Barrack H Obama has exposed himself and its time to show our outrage with our "votes" in November. To the Mainstream Media... its time to climb out of the tank for this guy and start to publicly expose him for who he really is Wed, 9 Jun 2010 18:38:27 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=TX-PAR-BXL96&show_article=1#IDComment79335855 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=TX-PAR-BXL96&show_article=1#IDComment79334007 You took the words right out of my mouth!!! "You have got to be kidding me..." Thought I'd preface that before my comments. Wed, 9 Jun 2010 18:23:31 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=TX-PAR-BXL96&show_article=1#IDComment79334007 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9FGPO5O1&show_article=1#IDComment72881135 Now this should be interesting... Question is whether Bob Woodward will be 'balanced' in telling the whole-truth & nothing but the truth about the 'real' BHO? Or will he take journalistic liberties as the Mainstream does in 'only' sharing what they want us to hear? I wonder if Mr Woodward knows the litmus-test for journalistic integrity and honesty lies in ready. If you think about it, he could make a mint if he only told 1/2 the story... let me contribute just one quote for Mr. Woodward, from then Sen Obama...""I have been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career." (Obama, in address to ACORN in 2007)... then in an interview, Obama told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, “Frankly, it’s not really something I’ve followed closely. I didn’t even know that ACORN was getting a whole lot of federal money.” I am sure Mr. Woodward will speak with all the key figures in this Administration to properly vet this President for this book... for instance, Rahm Emanuel, Van Jones, Anita Dunn, Valeri Jarrett, Rev Jim Wallis, Andy Stern, Bertha Lewis, Wade Rathke... and I am sure will entertain Bill Ayer's and Rev Wright in cameo roles. Can't wait for the reviews... Wed, 5 May 2010 20:04:23 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9FGPO5O1&show_article=1#IDComment72881135
