Obama’s Gangster Government

Washington Examiner [DC], by Michael Barone Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought- 2/14/2013 10:05:14 PM Post Reply

Presidents’ State of the Union addresses are delivered in the chamber of the House of Representatives in the Capitol. The classical majesty of this building where laws are made symbolizes the idea that we live under the rule of law. Unfortunately, the 44th president is running an administration that too often seems to ignore the rule of law. “We can’t wait,” Barack Obama took to saying after the Republicans captured a majority in the House and refused to pass laws he wanted. He would act to get what he wanted regardless of law. One example: his recess appointments

Autocracy: Still pulsing with the power from outlawing big servings of sweet drinks, Michael Bloomberg now wants to run Styrofoam out of his city. Clearly, he believes that everyone has to live exactly as he wants them to live. During Thursday´s State of the City address, New York Mayor Bloomberg called for a ban on Styrofoam food packaging. It´s all a part of his crusade to eliminate smoking, sugary drinks, salt and other items he doesn´t like — and, hence, thinks no one else should have.

President Obama´s No-Growth

An anti-jobs, anti-growth agenda Even with average wages, adjusted for inflation, dropping for 21 of the last 23 months, higher rates of poverty, 23 million Americans unable to find regular work, ongoing $1 trillion deficits, ObamaCare pushing employers to cut full-time workers and hire part-timers, and the gross domestic product falling during the last quarter, there wasn´t much in President Obama´s second inaugural address about job creation, debt reduction or economic growth. Instead, it took only a few minutes into the speech before the rich became the target.

Media Bias: In his State of the Union, President Obama repeatedly misled the American people on matters of huge substance. Afterward, somehow, the big story is ... a bottle of water during the Republican rebuttal. Why does a re-elected chief executive, dubiously claiming a mandate from the people, insult the intelligence of millions of Americans struggling to stay afloat in a contracting economy during the worst economic recovery on record with ludicrous contentions like this: "After years of grueling recession, our businesses have created over 6 million new jobs"?

On the Senate floor this morning, Harry Reid said it´s "outlandish" to say that the Obama "administration hasn´t been forthcoming" in the Benghazi terror attack: "They have as much information that´s available on the Benghazi situation," said Reid. "Testimony from the administration officials, from multiple committees, from an independent review board, Secretary Clinton testified, Secretary Panetta, who is going to be leaving his job in less than two hours, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Martin Dempsey, and others have already testified regarding the attack that claimed four American lives.

We come from different backgrounds, parties and pursuits but are bound by a common belief in the promise and purpose of America. After all, each of us has been the beneficiary of the choices made—and opportunities created—by previous generations of Americans. One of us grew up poor in the South Bronx of the 1960s and went on to lead a children´s antipoverty program in Harlem. Another grew up in a small town in South Jersey, and went on to be a leading money manager. The third grew up in a small suburb in upstate New

Most guns would not be banned under President Obama’s proposed gun regulations, he told questioners during a “fireside hangout” on Google+ this afternoon. Assuring viewers the government will not “take away their guns,” Obama said the majority of guns would still be available, while small number of weapons, like assault rifles, would be banned. The same questioner pressed the president on why his proposals focus on assault weapons when the majority of gun deaths are related to handguns, asking him if handguns should be banned as well. “I actually don’t think we should ban handguns,”

During a “fireside hangout” on Google+ this afternoon, President Obama responded to a questioner who said she was disappointed in the gap between Obama’s campaign promises for transparency and the reality of the last four years. “It feels a lot less transparent than I think we all hoped it would be,” she said. Obama said firmly, “This is the most transparent administration in history, and I can document that is the case.” As an example, he said, White House visitor record are now public record, something he changed.

Should it be a federal crime for businesses to refuse to hire ex-convicts? Yes, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which recently released 20,000 convoluted words of regulatory "guidance" to direct businesses to hire more felons and other ex-offenders. In the late 1970s, the EEOC began stretching Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act to sue businesses for practically any hiring practice that adversely affected minorities. In 1989, the agency sued Carolina Freight Carrier Corp. of Hollywood, Fla., for refusing to hire as a truck driver a Hispanic man

Executive Action on Climate Change

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) challenged President Barack Obama’s assertions about climate change policy on Thursday, saying there was not anything the president could do if Congress refuses to pass the climate bill Obama called for in his State of the Union speech. “I don’t know what actions the president thinks he can take,” Boehner said at his weekly press conference Thursday. “I don’t think he has the ability to impose a national energy tax on Americans without the authority of Congress.” “He may attempt to do this, but I’m not sure how much he can really do,” said Boehner.

President Obama on Thursday hailed his administration for its transparency. “This is the most transparent administration in history,” Obama said during a Google Plus “Fireside” Hangout. “I can document that this is the case,” he continued. “Every visitor that comes into the White House is now part of the public record. Every law we pass and every rule we implement we put online for everyone to see.”The president said this holds true even on the issue of Benghazi, a controversy which he said was “driven by campaign” year politics and one that Congressional Republicans were clinging to

Today, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) introduced a bill to levy a carbon tax. But, back on Nov. 15 of last year, Pres. Obama´s press secretary promised the administration would "never" do so. According to Reuters, the new tax law "would set a $20 tax for each ton of carbon dioxide equivalent a polluter would emit beyond a set limit, which would rise 5.6 percent annually over a 10-year period." Last November, however, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters that would never happen:

It´s Valentine´s Day, and today the Republicans heard President Obama say those three little words they never thought they´d hear: "out of money." While speaking on early childhood education in Decatur, Georgia, the president said, according to the White House transcript: So we’ve worked to make college more affordable for millions of students and families already through tax credits and grants and loans that go farther than before. But taxpayers can’t keep subsidizing ever-escalating price tags for higher education. At some point you run out of money. So colleges have to do their part.

Notre Dame´s football program is best known for stories about fake girlfriends, but across campus in the sociology department they´re interested in real ones--and boyfriends and wives and husbands as well. "Notre Dame Sociologist Elizabeth McClintock studies the impacts of physical attractiveness and age on mate selection and the effects of gender [meaning sex] and income on relationships," announces a university press release. "Her research offers new insights into why and when Cupid´s arrow strikes." In one ingenious study, published in 2011 in the journal Biodemography and Social Biology, McClintock explored sex differences in "revealed sexual preferences."

Rahm Emanuel Toying With 2016
Presidential Run, Sources Say

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is said by well-connected Democrats to be considering with the idea of running for president if Hillary Clinton opts out of the 2016 race. The 53-year-old Emanuel, who is busy raising money for his 2015 reelection campaign in the Windy City, has had discussions both over the phone and face to face in the past month with Democratic Party donors and fundraisers about a possible White House run, according to sources. It’s unclear who raised the subject—Emanuel or the donors—and the mayor’s press secretary didn’t offer any clarity on who said what to whom.

Pelosi: Congressional Pay Cut

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that she opposes a cut in congressional pay because it would diminish the dignity of lawmakers´ jobs. "I don´t think we should do it; I think we should respect the work we do," Pelosi told reporters in the Capitol. "I think it´s necessary for us to have the dignity of the job that we have rewarded." The comments were made in the context of the looming sequester, which would force across-the-board cuts affecting most federal offices, including Congress.

(Snip)The couple said Dorner had been at the condo in the 1200 block of Club View Drive since as early as Friday, when they arrived to do maintenance in the yard.

The device, made by privately held Second Sight Medical Products Inc of Sylmar, California, is intended to replace the function of light-sensing cells in the retina destroyed by retinitis pigmentosa, an inherited degenerative disease that affects about 100,000 people nationwide.

Chris Dorner set out to kill an Asian woman and a Black man, not because they did anything to him, but to get revenge on his own lawyer. His ex-girlfriend described him as paranoid and twisted. And that gives him all the qualifications to be another 99 percent hero. Just another reminder that the Occupy crowd are some of the worst people in the world. But maybe they can start Occupy Burning Cabins now. The statement of support and solidarity was posted on the Occupy Los Angeles’ official Facebook page Wednesday. The statement came in

Martin Peretz, the former owner and editor of the New Republic, has come down strongly on the new iteration of the magazine he first purchased in 1974. So shocked by the content since Facebook´s Chris Hughes took over is Peretz that he published a piece at the Wall Street Journal Thursday titled "The New New Republic: I don´t recognize the magazine I used to own. We were liberal but not narrowly partisan":The New Republic has abandoned its liberal but heterodox tradition and embraced a leftist outlook as predictable as that of Mother Jones or the Nation.
