I am sick and tired of this President lying. Sick of it. Really, I am sick. Get the picture? For Obama to sit there and accuse the Supreme Court in last weeks Citizen United vs. FEC, "open[ed] the floodgates for special interests — including foreign corporations — to spend without limit in our elections. Well I don't think American elections should be bankrolled by America's most powerful interests, or worse, by foreign entities."
A great piece from the Hill by Bradley A-Smith
The president's statement is false.
The Court held that 2 U.S.C. Section 441a, which prohibits all corporate political spending, is unconstitutional. Foreign nationals, specifically defined to include foreign corporations, are prohibiting from making "a contribution or donation of money or ather thing of value, or to make an express or implied promise to make a contribution or donation, in connection with a Federal, State or local election" under 2 U.S.C. Section 441e, which was not at issue in the case. Foreign corporations are also prohibited, under 2 U.S.C. 441e, from making any contribution or donation to any committee of any political party, and they prohibited from making any "expenditure, independent expenditure, or disbursement for an electioneering communication."
This is either blithering ignorance of the law or demagoguery of the worst kind.
Seriously folks, this President is doing nothing more than trying to intimidate the Supreme Court for future decision. All this does is allow Corporations to run ads about candidates they like or dislike. No foreign money is allowed into our elections.
Better yet, rather than be worried about companies doing ads, why doesn’t he close the loop hole regarding people being able to buy phone cards (anywhere in the world) and use them to donate money to campaigns. Someone should ask Obama how much of his campaign funds came from those cards? How much money was foreign?
It appears that thousands of morons who are advocating for immigrant rights marched in front of a county jail in Phoenix on Saturday to protest against Maricopa County Sherriff Joe Arpaio’s immigration efforts.
Do these people even truly have a clue? They are protesting that people should be allowed in this country even when they break the law—where is the logic in that? No one in Washington seems to be able to handle immigration properly so let Sherriff Joe do his job and applaud him for it.
Instead of annoying the Phoenix area over this, why not go to Washington and Congress? They could actually fix the problem of closing the borders instead of being lax about the topic for political correctness reasons.
I really do not care if any efforts to find those here are of racial profiling because how the hell else are you going to find illegal immigrants—better yet terrorist? It’s time to knock of the attacks on Sherriff Joe and focus it on the problem of immigration itself.
Only then would Sherriff Joe not have to do what he does. Ever think of that?
Well ladies and gentlemen, the healthcare debate looks to finally come to a beginning or an end Tuesday in Massachusetts as the hypocrisy will hopefully come to an end. In fact, now we have a President who again is sticking his nose where it does not belong.
I find it funny that regardless of political party, over 65 percent of Americans oppose this form of government run healthcare and now it appears the unions now are withdrawing their backdoor deal as well. Why? Because it appears reconciliation is the only way this will pass—51 votes to pass a bill—and Unions do not want a lot of the deals they made stripped from the bill.
Should reconciliation occur, everyone who votes for this bill will be punished and rightfully so! But as we have found out, the politicians do not care because they have proven to want to give up their seats in exchange for passing this horrid bill. Which is why Obama is in Massachusetts by the way.
We found out early this week Obama would come to Attorney General Martha Coakley rescue in order to help get her elected. If I was Coakley I’d of told him to stay home because you are a political liability. Did Obama help the New Jersey election? No, he hurt it. The same will hold true with Coakley.
In a way, I am glad Obama is going. Let him hurt her chances as political handicapper Charlie Cook sent an unusual weekend update to his Cook Political Report subscribers saying that Scott Brown, the Republican, is now a slight favorite.
According to the LA Times, in light of Climategate, two Hollywood conservatives have called on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to rescind the prestigious, profitable gold
Oscar statuette that it gave ex-Vice President Al Gore two years ago for the environmental movie "An Inconvenient Truth."
Roger L. Simon and Lionel Chetwynd, both Academy members, are among a small, meandering pack of known political conservatives still believed to be on the loose in the liberal bastion of movie-making.
Chetwynd and Simon were prompted to make their hopeless demand this week by the ... ... leak two weeks ago of a blizzard of British academic e-mails purporting to show that
scientists at the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit systematically falsified data to document the appearance of global warming in recent years.
Thoughts:
I thought this was Hollywood and in since they are in the land of “make belief”, what is the harm in letting him keep a stupid award. I don’t really care about the Oscar’s and so what if his movie is a fraud as I’d rather see him lose a lot more than an Oscar.
Say for instance his fortune that he built upon a fraud in the first place. And most importantly, let’s see the left lose their religion of global warming and most importantly their reputations once it’s proven they have manipulated data.
Barack Obama is nothing more than a magician who keeps you watching his right hand, however all the action is actually occurring in the left. Take for instance this whole White House party breach. He is using it as nothing more than a distraction from the real issues currently being debated.
Yes, the President could have been in danger; however the couple had ties to the Obama’s so was he really in danger? However, while the Secret Service will take the blame and put people on leave, it’s White House social secretary Desiree Rogers who should be at fault—she should have checked people in to the party rather than attend herself. Now the White House will protect her from testifying? Is this Chicago politics as usual?
But really, I don’t care what the story is, what I really care about is why are we getting headline after headline about the “party crashers” when we have Cap & Trade debate occurring, hacked and leaked global warming emails floating around and of course, health care reform debate.
You see this may be the story that keeps our attention for the moment, the most damage could occur on other issues while our focus is on this stupid story. I do not believe that Obama planned this breach; however this administration is sure using it to his advantage.
