It Has Begun. Obama Cuts Border Security in Proposed Budget


President Bush doubled the number of border agents in order to improve national security in the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attacks. Now, President Obama plans to reduce that number by attrition according to his new budget proposal. If you think the gap will be covered by the new 'virtual fence,' think again. Obama is cutting funds for that program too. Open borders anyone?

CFP
reported:
Obama’s proposed budget cut also would eliminate $226 million that had been allocated for an electronic “virtual fence” system along the border. Known as “SBInet,” the strategy is to install cameras, radar and sensors to detect humans and contraband coming into the U.S...

GOP: Health Care Summit Will Likely Be a Charade (video)

Here is video of Michigan GOP Rep. Dave Camp explaining how Obama and Democrats are still scheming behind closed doors to ram Obamacare through using the reconciliation process if Republicans fail to agree to the massive overhaul of health care Obama is still fine tuning in secret. He also talks about Republican's ideas for health care reform.

From YouTube:
Michigan Rep. Dave Camp says people want Obama and the Democrats to "scrap their misguided plan of a government takeover of health care" and start over by taking a step-by-step approach.

Obama and Democrats Plan to Take Your 401k?


This sounds like a joke, but you just can't make this kind of stuff up. Desperate for money to continue their spending spree, President Obama and Democrats are are investigating the possibility of forcing you to invest your tax deferred 401k in 'goobermint' paper like U.S. Treasury bonds. The Chinese aren't going to keep financing our record deficits, so Team Obama has to have a Plan B. Your private retirement money is at the top of their list. Of course, we would already be buying U.S. Treasury bonds if it wasn't for low returns and concerns the skyrocketing deficit might cause the the government to default on them.

Actor-director Sean Penn charged with treason battery


The treason charge is just wishful thinking about Penn's support for dictators. He is actually being charged with battery for beating up a photographer.

Yahoo! News reported:
Penn will be arraigned March 22 on the two misdemeanor charges, said Los Angeles city attorney's spokesman Frank Mateljan...

If convicted, Penn could face up to 18 months in jail."

Open Wide America



Harry Reid and President Obama have their plan to ram Obamacare down your throat through the reconciliation process. Of course, in the name of bipartisanship, they are going to give the Republicans one last chance to kneel and accept some version of the Democrat's massive takeover of the American health care system. Isn't bipartisanship wonderful?

The Hill reported:

“I’ve had many conversations this week with the president, his chief of staff, and Speaker Pelosi,” Reid said during an appearance Friday evening on “Face to Face with Jon Ralston” in Nevada. “And we’re really trying to move forward on this.”

The majority leader said that while Democrats have a number of options...

Video: Max Blumenthal confronted by Andrew Breitbart and Larry O’Connor at CPAC

Fireworks go off in this exchange between Andrew Breitbart, Larry O’Connor and Max Blumenthal. Blumenthal is the Salon journalist who called James O’Keefe a racist. The story has been corrected, but it is still an attempt to smear O’Keefe.

Obama Lied About ACORN Relationship

In October 2008, a reporter asked Barack Obama about his relationship with ACORN.
Reporter: Senator McCain today said there was voter fraud going on in the battleground states. ACORN has been tampering with America’s most precious right. There has to be a full investigation and he also said you need to disclose your full relationship with ACORN. I’m wondering if you have any reaction to Senator McCain’s charge?

Barack Obama: Well, first of all my relationship with ACORN is pretty straightforward. It’s probably 13 years ago when I was still practicing law, I represented ACORN and my partner in that investigation was the US Justice department in having Illinois implement what was called the motor voter law, to make sure people could go to DMV’s and driver license facilities to get registered. It wasn’t being implemented. That was my relationship and is my relationship to ACORN. There is an ACORN organization in Chicago. They’ve been active. As an elected offiical, I’ve had interactions with them. But, they’re not advising my campaign. We’ve got the best voter registration in politics right now and we don’t need ACORN’s help.



At CPAC Representative Darrell Issa (R-CA) released this video of barack OPbama talking privately about his relationship with ACORN.

Oh Me - Oh My... Obama Caught in a Major ACORN Lie


“When I ran project vote, the voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it. Once I was elected there wasn’t a campaign that ACORN worked on down in Springfield that I wasn’t right there with you. Since I have been in the United States Senate I’ve been always a partner with ACORN as well. I’ve been fighting with ACORN, along side ACORN, on issues you care about my entire career.”

President Obama deserves another "Liar Liar Pants on Fire" award for his lack of honesty about his close relationship with ACORN.
