| WASHINGTON — President Obama yesterday announced he’s jetting off on a victory lap around Southeast Asia, despite a new government report warning the Jan. 1 fiscal cliff will plunge the US into a recession and drive the unemployment rate up to 9.1 percent. Obama and Congress have just 52 days to reach a deal to avoid sailing off that precipice, when a devastating double whammy of tax hikes and budget cuts will rock the economy and hit just about every American. The negotiations will be difficult. Obama signaled he’s sticking to his demand for raising taxes

Why the surprise? This most corrupt-anti-Israel-anti-American "president" in the history of this once great Country is now free to do anything he wants without having to consider whether it will cost him an election. As the late great Jim Morrison sang, "This is the end"... of America as we have known it. IF 3,000,000 Republicans actually stayed home on Tuesday, they deserve the lion's share of credit for what is going to happen to the U.S. now that obama and his leftist-thug-administration have full reign! God Help this Country!

The real president, Valarie Jarrett, will be left here to deal with the suicide jump while he and Michelle and Reggie Love take the victory tour. Jarrett has already said Obama will be spending much less time in Washington this term.
God help us!!!

The fix is already in to deal with the cliff,that's why Obama didn't send out the layoff notices/ He's not going to stay cooped up with MO in the WH,he'll use any excuse to get out of town.

We need to grab a limb and let this poor sick Republic go over the fiscal cliff, then we can sort through the rubble and forge a new beginning. The current kabuki dance being performed by all these fool politicians will go nowhere and will eventually result in the same end. The alternatives are to take our blows now and begin rebuilding or suffer a slow painful death.
As for Obama, he's doing what he always does in a crisis . . . hiding in the corner or skipping town until somebody else takes action.

CBO statement at end of article:
America’s gross domestic product would grow by 2.2 percent if the Bush-era tax rates are extended and by nearly 3 percent if Obama’s payroll tax cut and extra long-term unemployment benefits are extended, the report predicted.
The unemployment benefits haven't worked and in fact are keeping some unemployed. If the Dims are this stupid the GOP should simply shut up and let them lead. Let the misery get really bad and the Dims will propose a solution.

Looks like obama is running for world runner. Starting with the country that raised him...his mindset is foreign and it shows right up front. He'll make a "lying speech today" and then he'll leave the folks of New York and New Jersey to shift for themselves.
Oh well -- the republicans should wait for the reid/rod of the demorattic senate to offer a plan. Let the demorats do the heavy lifting....Any way you cut this -- it's Bush's fault.
On a positive note: The liar is out of OUR country. God willing with him gone things will settle down... Perhaps the demorats in the house and senate will wake up and cut him off at the ankles.... One can hope!! OR perhaps hillary's folk will take the opportunity to gain some ground. While the cat's away -------

Oh, Bammy will never be done, he can sign an executive order and make himself President forever. I urge everyone to email Speaker Bohner and urge him to let the economy collapse. Gonna happen eventually anyway, lets get it over with.

This president is one of the 47% who believe government owes them. He will not change because he deserves whatever he wants. After all, he won. Just like the last four years he will be missing in action. Work is beneath him. The campaign took a lot out of him and it is time for a little R&R. He cares about the state of the economy as much as he did our people in Benghazi. Our job is to jeep the perks coming. I hate to admit it but I loathe the people who put him in office. Mitt would have been up and running already looking to solve the problems we face. Obama just runs away.

The reason that Obama will be spending less time in the WH as he will be busy visiting other countries to put in place the world government. The UN small arms treaty is back the day after he was re-elected. This is just the beginning.

#10 and #15, That's Cloward and Piven right down the line. Let the economy completely collapse. When this happens and with the UN gun control/arms treaty by EO, they think it will be easy to subdue US. After all the Homeland Security bought one billion rounds of hollow points. And the Social Security Administration, (Whaaaat!) bought almost two hundred thousand hollow points. Not even the military until 2010(?) approved hollow points but in limited situations.
I've got news for hussein and his brown shirts. The Revolutionary War was won primarily by guerrilla warfare with a colonial soldier fighting from behind every tree and the British advancing in bright red columns and phalanxes. This might get ugly.
Just remember Cloward and Piven. The plan is on the move.

I have to get into this conversation with #10,#15 & #19. If we don't crash now those 3 million Republicans,Johnson voters & pastors & priests will never wake up to what is needed for a new beginning. During the War Between the States(prefered label),WWI & WWII there was more spiritual awakening than ever before in our Republic. That is what is wrong with our nation & so many schools are not teaching Founding Father principles & we just might go down if Israel is not protected. Too many Americans are preoccupied with "stuff" including some conservatives. Would love to go to a party with the Ldotters from election night - it would be a blast!

There are many out there now who see him as a threat to the republic. Sis issued a warning once about returning vets. She may have a point.

Now they when the 99 weeks runs out, they get checks for life, b/c SSI doesn't run out. America. Vhadda country!

Re # 13, Boehner and McConnell our only leaders as we mill and you want pure hard right conservatism delivered? Eating our own only keeps the bleeding going IMO.
We need to find common ground. No Jon Huntsman, Mormon but not Mormonized by the media because he was no threat to the commielougues.
You have seen the heart of Mormon Mitt and he is not so prideful as to be driven to suicide, but piling on is nullifying of his good things. Capitalism but get rid of Reagan's CEO at the top.
More succinctly, no more Mormons in the top slot because some just will not vote for one (kudos to the ones who could see past religion/politics mix)Mormons will vote for a hard right religious fundamentalist if they have the capitalist R behind their name.
But a better choice is a Paul Ryan whom the M-word's fell in love with. Political realities and the big tent cooperating is our only hope. And get the Tea Party to unite under one semi-moderate leader that we can all follow. IMO.

Let people feel the full effect of tax increases across the board and sequestration cuts. Who really cares? The American people didn´t care on Tuesday. They voted for the entitlement/freebie state to continue without paying for it. Let them eat cliff!

To many in our cultural elite, Woody Guthrie is an American saint. The legendary songwriter from Okfuskee County, Oklahoma, is introduced to every American child by way of his folk anthem “This Land Is Your Land.” But for gatekeepers of the arts, Guthrie is much more: All of his work—every song, every article, every poem—is good and honest and true, the gospel according to Woody. What other justification is there for the release of this deservedly long-lost novel? Completed in 1947 but only recently “rediscovered,” House of Earth is an incoherent polemic interspersed with erotic scenes and rambling descriptions

Looks like it’s Let’s Make a Deal time this month, except perhaps for budgets, at least for the moment. At the same time the Senate has cut a deal on gun control by, er, making the status quo slightly more muscular, the Gang of Eight has reached a deal in principle on immigration. (Snip) The schedule outlined by the aides is meant to satisfy Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who has said repeatedly that he wants a full debate and amendment process, to maximize the chances that the final vote is an overwhelming majority.

‘Comprehensive immigration reform,” a deal on which is reportedly imminent, has a lot of moving parts — too many, in truth, as with most “comprehensive” legislation. Among the costs of comprehensivism is that debate over such bills often gets bogged down in the many details. Americans seeking to evaluate any deal should ask three questions about it to cut through the noise. First: Will it encourage future illegal immigration? This has always been the greatest risk of proposals to provide legal status for current illegal immigrants: that it will be seen as a reason for others to come here illegally

Long before Barack Obama dusted off his shoulders, Margaret Thatcher used a bright turquoise feather duster to sweep away the dirt of lingering socialism at the Conservative Party Conference in October 1975. (Snip for video)The Telegraph, which as a great old black-and-white picture of the occasion, says that it was "given to her by a member of the audience" at the party conference, where she delivered these remarks. Of all the images of her as a leader, this is the one that´s stuck in my mind since yesterday.

Republican leaders in Congress received a dire warning on Tuesday from former Vice President Dick Cheney on the ongoing crisis in North Korea. “We’re in deep doo doo,” Cheney told lawmakers, according to a GOP leadership aide. Cheney added the current North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, is unpredictable and doesn´t share the United States worldview. One lawmaker present at the session, Rep. Steve Southerland of Florida, said Cheney wore a cowboy hat and "looked really good, spoke really clearly, lucidly.” “It was nice to see him doing well,” Southerland said, noting the last time Cheney was on Capitol Hill

How many federal agencies does it take to do catfish safety inspections? At least three, according to the Government Accountability Office, which on Tuesday released its 2013 report on fragmentation and duplication of federal programs. This year´s report -- there were two previous editions of the report first requested by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla. -- documents an estimated $95 billion in duplicative programs that waste precious tax dollars. That brings the three-year total of potential savings documented by GAO to $295 billion. Having three agencies doing catfish safety inspections may strike some as funny, but there is nothing to laugh about

Alan Dershowitz can be a frustrating man, but when he is good, he is very, very good. I witnessed his courage personally a few years back when I was part of delegation with him at the Durban II Conference in Geneva. Dershowitz was a one-man resistance band then, protesting the speech of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at that UN-sponsored festival of anti-Semitism. (Snip)Dershowitz told The Algemeiner in an interview: “I can’t imagine a worse person to honor for conflict resolution. Here’s a man who has engendered conflict wherever he goes.

‘This is about doing the right thing for all the families who are here that have been torn apart by gun violence,” President Obama declared Monday, promoting his “common-sense gun safety reforms” in a speech at the University of Hartford, where the audience included parents of children murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School last December. “This is not about politics.” Unless you disagree with him. “There is only one thing that can stand in the way of change,” Obama said, “and that’s politics in Washington.” Members of Congress have a simple choice to make,

It’s not just Republican lawmakers raising their eyebrows at the vacation recording artists Jay-Z and Beyoncé took to Cuba this week. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is head of the Democratic National Committee, but also represents a chunk of Miami and many Cuban-American voters: U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Weston said Tuesday she’d like to know more about the recent Cuba visit by mega-entertainers Beyoncé and Jay-Z…

The murder trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell largely is being ignored by the mainstream media, even in the face of grisly testimony, such as what we heard yesterday. Life News reports: ...a former employee described how she heard a baby scream during a live-birth abortion. Abortion clinic employee Sherry West described an incident which "really freaked (her) out" and related to the jury how she heard a child who was born alive following an abortion scream.

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt. Efforts by Senate Democrats to reach compromise with Republicans over expanding required federal background checks have yet to yield an agreement, and conservatives were promising to try

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

The sequester may have many across the country singing the blues, but for President Obama, it was all about Memphis Soul. Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes. Some conservatives have called on Obama to give up golf, especially since popular public tours of the White House have been canceled because of

West Virginia Democratic Sen. Jay Rockefeller, one of the towering architects of Obamacare, on Tuesday openly criticized program managers for not moving quickly enough to build the system, warning that if it gets off to a bumpy start it will just get worse. Decrying the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as way too complex, he warned the acting Medicare director that Obamacare is "so complicated and if it isn´t done right the first time, it will just simply get worse."

In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools. Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Although the first votes on gun -control legislation have yet to be cast, by some measures the National Rifle Association has already won. Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.

Margaret Thatcher had more impact on the world than any woman ruler since Catherine the Great of Russia. Not only did she turn around—decisively—the British economy in the 1980s, she also saw her methods copied in more than 50 countries. "Thatcherism" was the most popular and successful way of running a country in the last quarter of the 20th century and into the 21st. Her origins were humble. Born Oct. 13, 1925, she was the daughter of a grocer in the Lincolnshire town of Grantham. Alfred Roberts was no ordinary shopkeeper.

Liberals descended on Pennsylvania Avenue Tuesday to protest President Barack Obama´s decision to include entitlement cuts in his upcoming budget, delivering 2 million petitions demanding the White House back off its support for the chained CPI. As we reported this weekend, liberals have been seething over the inclusion of the chained CPI in Obama´s budget, which they see as a huge betrayal by the Democratic president. This week, progressive groups, including MoveOn, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, and Democracy for America, have mounted "emergency" online campaigns against the proposal, accusing Obama of

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius conceded Monday that implementing the Affordable Care Act has been more complicated and frustrating than the Obama administration expected, largely due to Republicans who have opposed the law´s state-based exchanges and Medicaid expansion. "The politics has been relentless and that continues," Sebelius said. "There was some hope that once the Supreme Court ruled in July, and then once an election occurred there would be a sense that, ´This is the law of the land, let´s get on board, let´s make this work.´"

In a stunning end to one of the most aggressively unsuccessful tenures in retail history, JCPenney (JCP) last night announced that CEO Ron Johnson would be leaving effective immediately. Myron Ullman, Johnson´s predecessor at JCPenney, takes office as CEO. When Johnson was initially wooed by JCPenney, it was to serve as CEO with Ullman as Chairman. In January 2012, Ullman was unceremoniously removed from the board. Gone with Ullman was any control the Board of Directors had over Ron Johnson and his control of JCPenney resources.
