Obama Has Long Work List
to Tackle When He Returns

Associated Press, by Charles Babington

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 12/25/2012 2:33:42 PM

It´s hardly a secret that Barack Obama, like every president no doubt, muses about his ultimate legacy and spot in the presidential pantheon. He approaches his second term confronting tough and shifting challenges that will play big roles in shaping the rest of his presidency and his eventual place in history. In the coming months, Obama will have to decide where to be ambitious, where to be cautious, and where to buy time. He draws political strength from his surprisingly easy re-election in a bad economy. It´s partly offset, however, by Republicans´ continued control of the House,

Let`s be clear here, Obama spends all his time figuring out how to be as low down and devious as possible as he trashes the American Dream for those of us in the here and now as well as those on the way up. There is simply nothing to like about this individual.

This writer gives Obama way too much credit. he doesn´t want to be bothered with his job,just enjoy the perks and adulation of the morons who fell for his lies.

It´s easy to win re election when you spred and extra 6 trillion around,along with backdoor printing and stimulus.What he has is slick advisers who think destroying this country is some kind of game.

Exploiting weak people for their vote is a coward´s way to run a country.

That first line is a howler. Obama doesn´t "muse" about his legacy. He is completely consumed by how he is perceived. He doesn´t "muse" about anything. He´s got two speeds, slow and stop, where matters of State are concerned, so spare me his alleged musings. He wants white and successful people punished and he wants payback for slavery.

A dictatorship for him would be nice, too, as well as having no such messy things as Congresses and Constitutions.

As for his long work list, rest assured he will tell other people to solve the problems and come up with answers. Obama never works. He frolics. Unfortunately, he does it with our money, our liberty and our country.

If we ever figure out a way to break down Obie´s propaganda machine, the msm, watch Obie stand there with no clothes on and nothing to hide behind, and see how well he can lead from behind. Don´t be so sure the chickens won´t come home to roost for this fraud, sooner or later.

His legacy is set in stone, no matter how much effort the MSM spends in propping him up. He is the biggest failure since the Edsel. Except it just died and went away quietly. Obama will leave a wake of destruction, joblessness and debt.

Work ?? Work??
Well, to 60,848,820 of us ,
this lazy bum hasn´t done an honest day´s work in his life.
Unfortunately, we are in the minority.
Obama spends his days playing and watching an inordinate amount of tv.
Damian Lewis , the star of Homeland on Showtime and Band of Brothers recalled meeting Obama .
Obama told him how much he liked Homeland which surprised Lewis .
Damian: "When do you watch it?
Aren´t you supposed to be running the free world?"
Barack: "Well, on Saturday afternoons,
Michelle she takes the two girls, they go play tennis.
I go into the Oval Office.
I pretend I´m gonna work
and I switch on Homeland."
Last October Vanity Fair had a gushing piece on Barry.
He plays a lot more basketball than the public realizes.
The games are never listed on his official schedule, which is usually 2 hrs tops .
He often goes out in a small entourage
to the various basketball courts to attract less attention.
Most likely a couple of times a week.
We pay for a valet to fetch his special sneakers.
" The first hint came when a valet passed through bearing, as if they were sacred objects,
a pair of slick red-white-and-blue Under Armour high-tops with the president’s number (44) on the side. "
We pay for his likeness to be imprinted
on the basketballs.
Jodi Kantor´s book " The Obamas " had photographs of uniformed White House butlers
who are tasked with inflating Obama´s basketballs.
Michelle often describes how they both watch ESPN every day while they spend hours in the gym.
The next four years are going to be an orgy of parties and vacations on our dime.

The quote from the article that follows is a sick joke. "Obama said last Wednesday that gun control will be a central issue in his second term. "I will use all the powers of this office to help advance efforts aimed at preventing more tragedies like this," he said of the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass killings.

The president named an interagency task force to recommend anti-violence legislation within weeks. The strategy gives him room to distance himself somewhat from its recommendations if he wants, even though he named Vice President Joe Biden to chair the panel."

DAMASCUS, Va - At least 50 people were injured Saturday after a car struck a crowd of hikers in the Appalachian Trail Days parade in Damascus. A Virginia State Police reconstruction team has closed off the bridge where the incident happened and is investigating it as a crime scene. According to authorities, a green Cadillac was traveling on Route 91 in Damascus around 2:15 p.m. when his vehicle cut through a nearby car wash located off Third Street, where the parade was taking place. The car then went around several vehicles in the parade and plowed

President Obama spoke of the importance of fathers to their sons on Friday after a young man he met at a community center in Baltimore mentioned wanting to provide for his sons. “You know, one of the biggest challenges – I grew up without a father,” Obama said at the Center for Urban Families, which serves fathers and their families. A man named Marcus Dixon had just told him about the center´s key role in helping him learn to provide for his family after being released from jail.

WASHINGTON There´s an irony in the Internal Revenue Service´s crackdown on conservative groups. The nation´s tax agency has admitted to inappropriately scrutinizing smaller tea party organizations that applied for tax-exempt status. But the IRS largely maintained a hands-off policy with the much larger, big-budget organizations on the left and right that were most influential in the 2012 elections and are organized under a section of the tax code that allows them to hide their donors. "The IRS goes AWOL when wealthy and powerful forces want to break the law in order to hide their

Two Congressmen are asking the Treasury Department if it inappropriately scrutinized conservative-owned businesses the same way it targeted Tea Party groups filing for tax-exempt status. Republicans Mike Kelly (PA-03) and Jim Renacci (OH-16) circulated a letter Thursday requesting Treasury Secretary Jack Lew to release documents detailing the process and methodology the Automotive Task Force used to shut down General Motors dealerships in 2009 during the automotive industry crisis. Renacci´s Northeast Ohio Chevrolet dealership was closed in 2010 after losing a battle with General Motors. Congress loaned General Motors $50 billion in 2009 after GM declared bankruptcy, which resulted

SAN JOSE— For most Americans in the United States, Armed Forces Day is not on the lists of likely holidays to honor the country’s military in celebrations of Memorial Day or Veteran’s Day. Sadly, most Americans may not even realize that Armed Forces Day is even a legitimate holiday. Armed Forces Day was established to be celebrated on the third Saturday in May. It started during Harry Truman’s administration when he led an effort to consolidate the various holidays supporting each separate branch of the military into a simple unified holiday to honor the four branches together.

Dorothy, the 14-year-old peregrine falcon that since 2002 has nested on a 40th-floor ledge of the Cathedral of Learning in Oakland, was perched on the limestone railing next to that nest and her lone chick shortly before 9 a.m. Friday. She´d just fed the 22-day-old chick a small bird for breakfast. "Baltimore oriole ... again," said Kate St. John, who blogs about the city´s peregrines. Someone else watching from the office inside the window next to the nest said it looked like Dorothy was calmly "chilling." Ms. St. John´s response was that nothing could be further from the truth.

WASHINGTON — An Internal Revenue Service watchdog testified Friday that he told Obama administration officials in June that he was looking into allegations the IRS targeted conservative groups for extra scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status. The revelation by Inspector General Russell George came at the first congressional hearing on the IRS misconduct, which has generated a political firestorm since it was disclosed a week ago. George’s testimony represented the first evidence that officials in the Obama administration knew of the allegations as long as a year ago, during the presidential campaign.

Officials on Benghazi:

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

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.

He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part

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.

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.
