Obama: Criminals will be let
go if sequester cuts go through

Washington Examiner, by Charlie Spiering

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 2/19/2013 11:16:57 AM

President Obama warned Congress that if the sequester cuts go through on Friday, significant cuts would bring about serious consequences in America. Obama asserted that F.B.I agents would be furloughed and “federal prosecutors would be forced to close cases and let those criminals go,” if the cuts went through. “These cuts are not smart, they are not fair, they will hurt our economy, they will add hundreds of thousands of Americans to the unemployment rolls,” Obama insisted.

Comments:
That was one of the most excrutiating things I have ever watched. It´s typical of 0bama. Bash the rich, blame the Republicans and never acknowledge it was his idea for sequestration. I don´t know how we ever fight something like this. It just never ends.

Jerry Brown predicted the end of the world, when Prop 13 passed in California back in 1978.

The $85 Billion only amount to just over 2% of federal spending.

Too bad it never crossed President Pinocchio´s mind to cancel all those ObamaPhones, cut programs that fund illegals, and eliminate all government spending that provide his high-maintenance wife and idiot vice president with four-day ski trips to Aspen/Vail, Colorado.

Sequestration is the only thing Obama´s initiated I might agree with. The alternative is chronic high level unemployment, low growth, and an unsustainable deficit, unable to be paid down by 100% taxes on the "rich" and terminiation of the "Bush" tax cuts. This guy´s legacy, about which he seems to concerned, will be a worldwide depression, and he´s too stupid to realize it.

#9, any cuts will be to the very few services used by taxpaying Americans, such that we will agree to pay more taxes. Multibillion-dollar Free Obamaphone program ($2.2 billion at last word), for example, is the very fabric of America, and cannot be cut.

Since the Sequester was ´the won´s´ idea along with his nut house peeps, one would think he knew what the results would be prior to his suggestion of same.

What a disaster...a president who cares not for the country that elected him, a man who lies often and unashamed, he insults the intelligence of those that do not fall for his lies and schemes to continue the farce, he roars down the road to destruction without even glancing back. He knows he would not be worth a plugged nickel in private life so he passes a law to get secret service protection for life...pretty sweet huh? But guess what no more AF-1, no more Marine ONE, and low priority in the scheme of things. Million dollar weekends, 7 MILLION dollar vacations and endless golf gigs...meanwhile the country has record unemployment, food stamps, give away programs and crony payoffs, etc.. All this for a country founded with GOD in it´s foundation and all it´s works. Since the string of Governments have increasingly taken HIM out of the picture HE is standing back an watching our own suicides...all this is temporary and with our short lifetimes will soon pass. There will be much to answer for. Make no mistake, EVIL is very real.

Sequester is the most DANGEROUS thing ever.

It will rewrite your hard drive and scramble any disks that are even close to your computer. It will recalibrate your freezer´s coolness setting so all your ice cream melts. It will demagnetize the strips on all your credit cards, screw up the tracking on your VCR, and use subspace field harmonics to render any CDs you try to play unreadable.

It will give your ex-boy/girlfriend/ex-husband/wife your new phone number. It will mix antifreeze into your fishtank. It will drink all your beer and leave its socks out on the coffee table when company comes over. It will put a kitten in the back pocket of your good suit and hide your car keys when you are late for work.

Sequester will make you fall in love with a penguin. It will give you nightmares about circus midgets. It will pour sugar in your gas tank and shave off both your eyebrows while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing the dinner and hotel room to your Visa card.

It moves your car randomly around parking lots so you can´t find it. It will tease your dog. It will leave strange messages on your boss´s voicemail in your voice. It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous and terrifying to behold. It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve.

Sequester will give you Dutch Elm disease. It will leave the toilet seat up. It will make a batch of methamphetamine in your bathtub and leave bacon cooking on the stove while it goes out to chase high school kids with your snowblower.

These are just a few of the signs. Be very, very afraid!

Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it. It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice. The wrong name, he warned, could doom a good bill. “If there´s not a

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Is going gluten-free

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.
