Boehner: Looming defense cuts
threaten our national security

Investor´s Business Daily, by Andrew Malcolm

Original Article

Posted By:SurferLad, 11/10/2012 10:04:18 AM

Weekly Republican Remarks by House Speaker John Boehner: This week, I called for action by both parties on a plan to help our economy grow and create jobs, which is critical to solving our debt. It’s also critical to averting the so-called fiscal cliff, a combination of automatic spending cuts and tax rate increases that’s just weeks away from taking effect. Some have said that despite the risks, we should let our nation’s economy go off part of the fiscal cliff in January, by allowing the top two rates to rise. They believe that doing that will generate more revenue for the federal government.

While Boehner may genuinely desire that our national security not be weakened, that desire is diametrically opposed to Obama´s. Obama could care less about anybody´s security but his own, thus he has no reason to give in to any republican demands. If somebody has to blink, it will never be Obama. Whether the republicans do remains to be seen.

Glad to see that someone finally woke up Boehner from the tanning booth.

IT IS OVER!
There is now a 1-to-1 ratio, earners-to-takers. Just the unfunded liabilities of the Social Security Ponzi scheme will overwhelm any amount of prosperity, so it´s a joke to think it won´t swamp the economy that results from Zero´s pitiful policies.
If you live in a blue state, and are not stocking up on guns and ammo, you will end up like a police car at an Occupy Wall Street rally.

I believe that I will be in the minority here, but for a number of reasons, defense should be cut. It has become to much of an apparatus for political patronage. Doubt that cutting it will help that aspect. though.

I would worry if I lived in a big urban environment. Those are the ones that will collapse first when the money runs out. You can see it now in a small way in NYC, etc. Wait until real austerity hits and the checks are reduced or stopped.

Better buy another thousand rounds for your AR-15 or AK-47. A shotgun is also handy not only for home defense but hunting everything from small birds to deer. A real multi-tasker.

Oh please...this is just another Bonner trick to cave-in to Obama.

The Taurus Judge allows you to shoot both .410 shotgun shells and .45 Long Colt in the same handy, traditional "Revolver" format.

It amounts to a sawed-off shotgun (street-sweeper) that is highly effective when things get testy at close quarters. Like...say....at your front door.

#8 - I hope that their quality has improved. It seems that when they first came out that the barrel had been machined with a hammer and chisel. I do love the concept, though.

You were part of the sequestration cabal, Cabana Boy Boehner!

I´m not sure I would agree with #4 on details.

But we might, just might, agree that the greatest problems for America are now in America and not overseas.

And bombing a few more places and again sending thousands of troops here and there isn´t going to fix much.

Too bad that Boehner, Obama, and the whole regime in Washington won´t either. The Imperial City is doing fine. The troubles of the rest of the nation mean nothing there.

Pubbies will do what they do best- they will surrender and meekly agree to cooperate with the rest of the forced rape of America. After all, this is the government the people have elected. Now, the pubbies needs to get on with letting the rats have their meal of constitutional flesh. Let the next four years bergin. The only way these idiots will ever wake up- these moron voters we have, is to let the Democrats do all they will and do it quickly. Only buy suffering through their own choices can idiots be made to realize their mistakes. What little is left of the rubble that once was The United States of America will have to be rebuilt later- Into what? That is the question of the century. Probably it will resemble something like modern day Italy.

GOP: Anyone doubt Obama´s
IRS is out of control?

Hi, I’m Congressman Andy Harris, and this is the Red Tape Tower. 20,000 pages high and seven feet tall, it encompasses all of the regulations already associated with President Obama’s health care law. The red tape, the taxes, the mandates, the tricks, the traps, the fine print … it’s all here. Now: just think about the fact that it’s the IRS that will be responsible for enforcing many of these regulations. If we’ve learned anything this week, it’s that the IRS needs less power.

Hi, everybody. Over the past few months, I’ve laid out a series of commonsense ideas to reignite the true engine of our economic growth: a rising, thriving middle class. The way I see it, there are three areas where we need to focus. One: making America a magnet for good jobs. Two: making sure our workers have the education and skills they need to do those jobs. And three: making sure your hard work leads to a decent living. I’ve also been visiting cities across the country that are doing some interesting and creative things along these lines.

Cloudy with a 100% chance of scandals:
Obama ducks and weaves

Another awkward day in the unraveling presidency of Barack Obama. Beset by a trio of profound scandals, the Democrat planned Thursday´s message on foreign affairs through a joint news conference with Turkey´s Prime Minister Erdogan, a NATO ally. Unfortunately, Obama´s advance staff was apparently too busy preparing his next campaign stops to check the Washington weather forecast. It set up the news conference outdoors in the Rose Garden. Wouldn´t you know given POTUS´ recent luck, it began raining heavily. Obama [Snip] ordered two U.S. Marines to come hold umbrellas over the leaders´ heads while standing at attention.

   

 

  


 
Obama´s crisis mis-management:
What not to do

Washington, the former swamp steeped now in ambition, acrimony and duplicity, is quite experienced in handling scandals. They erupt regularly like bipartisan blisters. If handled correctly -- take responsibility, be sincere, proactive, contrite and get all the bad stuff out there quickly in one tidy, eminently forgettable package -- scandals can heal and leave barely a scar. Take Barack Obama. Please. His recent behavior and that of his administration in this ongoing bad news blizzard will be case studies for future generations of communications strategists on how not to address crises.

Letterman: Barbara Walters announced her retirement on ´The View.´ She was smiling. Had a little cake. Seemed to know where she was. Fallon: Joe Biden met with South Korean President Park, gave her advice on avoiding war with North Korea. In other words, we´re going to war with North Korea. Leno: A CNN reporter was robbed right in downtown Atlanta. But because it was on CNN, there were no witnesses. Fallon: Obama tells Ohio State grads they need to make the world a better place. Awkward! Students yelled back, "That´s your responsibility?” You´re the president!"

A key tenet of Barack Obama´s grand design to radically transform the country he did not grow up in is to corrode Americans´ confidence in their revered institutions. The Supreme Court. Private enterprise. The national capitol complex. Big business (except for its political donations to him). Congress. Especially Congress, even when it does his bidding. If Americans come to doubt what they used to believe in, it will be easier for Obama to drive home his own brand of solutions. [Snip] Obama’s been admitting an awful lot of ignorance in recent days.

Hello, everyone, I’m Martha Roby. I’m proud to represent Alabama’s Second Congressional District, [Snip] Allow me to take this opportunity to wish a Happy Mother’s Day to my mom, and to all the moms out there. It is such a blessing to be a mother. Raising children is an immeasurable joy, but as all moms know, it comes with unique challenges. And it can be especially tough for moms who work outside the home. Talk to just about any mom or dad and they’ll tell you they wish they had more time.

Officials on Benghazi:
"We made mistakes,
but without malice"

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

Watergate 2.0 -- why the
IRS scandal is far worse

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.

Lew asks Congress for debt increase,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.
