Tell me what you really see.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;With the loss of nearly 2.1 million jobs in the private sector, the last 29 months of Obama's Socialism experiment in America has been an utter failure. But not to worry, Obama made sure over 400,000 jobs were added to the government roster.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Having spent more money in the last 2 years than the first 200 years of our country combined, Obama's dream of transforming the United States into a European socialist model, has made our country far worse off, with debt consuming our entire economic future.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Under the Obama regime, the government added $5.3 trillion in new financial obligations in 2010. That brings unfunded liabilities to a record $61.6 trillion. (i.e. The total of financial promises not paid for). Add to that, Obama's latest "budget" for fiscal year 2011, has a deficit of over $1.6 trillion. Obama's philosophy of, the bigger the government the better, forces the United States to borrow $188 million an hour, just to keep afloat. But not to worry. Obama's solution to jump start the economy is to implement cuts in the tax code. Of course he mistakenly assumes the citizens of America are too stupid to realize that this is actually a tax INCREASE. In a lecture, I mean speech, just a few days ago, our con artist-in-chief has also proposed raising taxes on the very people who create jobs, hoping to create a wave of class warfare. NEWS FLASH - Raising taxes on rich people will not stop a spending addiction.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;How has Obama helped our country get back on the road to economic recovery? To help end America's dependence on foreign oil, Shell spent 5 years and $4 billion getting ready to drill for oil off the Alaskan coast. Sounds good doesn't it? Energy independence while creating thousands of jobs and lowering the price of gas at the pump. But wait, we can't have that. Obama’s Republic killing EPA Environmental Appeals Board is refusing to issue air permits to Shell. That will show those job creating private sector patriots. At the same time, Obama went down to South America to let them know that the United States would be glad to invest $2 billion of taxpayer money in Brazilian oil production. Wealth transference at it's best. Nice one, Mr. President.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Let's see what else. Boeing decided to build a 1.2 million square-foot airplane assembly plant in South Carolina. This would create jobs for over 9000 people. Obama's National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) believes it was a mistake because the factory is non-union. Sorry South Carolina, you can only build businesses where WE tell you. Union thug tactics at it's finest... the Chicago way.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Let's not forget about the $787 billion stimuless package that would guarantee unemployment would never go above 8%. Oh wait; was that another con perpetrated on the American public? I'm afraid so, Obama zombies. Democrats, are you still not aware your party has been taken over by Socialists?&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Rush Limbaugh reported:"Wisconsin got $701 million in the stimulus, it's just a little under 10%, and $600 million of that $700 million went to the unions, public sector unions. The whole purpose of the stimulus bill was during a recession to make sure that public sector unions were not laid off by giving states money to keep them on the payroll." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_022511/content/01125107.guest.html"&gt;http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_022511/content/01125107.guest.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;.&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;And if you didn't think it could get any worse, Obama's buddy Dan Akerson, CEO of General Motors, floated the idea of a $1 a gallon increase in the gas tax as a way to encourage buyers to purchase smaller, more fuel efficient cars in an interview published in the Detroit News. Of course if you purchase more fuel efficient cars you will have to be punished because less taxes can be collected per gallon of gas. So many people bought hybrids in Washington state, they have proposed a bill that will force hybrid owners to pay an additional $100 a year tax to offset declining gas tax revenue.

Exercising the freedom to challenge the lies that the Obama Administration puts out, that the so-called "mainstream media" simply accept and repeat as the truth, is being threatened.  Undaunted after a stunning loss of control in Congress, liberals are poised to steal the Internet after a new series of Federal Communication Commission rules are introduced on December 20, and likely approved the following day. Threatened by the Tea Party successes, and determined to continue finding ways to advance their statist agenda, Barack Obama and his liberal cohorts are attempting to seize the Internet – the greatest mechanism of growth in our history (under the guise of promoting "freedom" for all), and if successful, they will be one step closer to controlling the unfettered access to news and information that we read. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Why must we oppose the intrusive FCC federal regulations that will clamp down on our 1st Amendment rights via the Internet? Because, historically, when government seizes liberty, it's gone forever. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Barack Hussein Obama will use the FCC plans to implement control of cyberspace by issuing regulations. Why does Obama want to impose censorship through regulation to control our freedom of speech over the Internet? So he can continue to spread his socialist propaganda without being challenged! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Freedom and openness should continue to be the governing principles of the Internet. Congress is required to give the FCC explicit statutory authority to impose Internet censorship. Although the federal judiciary has extended First Amendment protection to the Internet, Barack Hussein Obama believes that he has the executive authority, WITHOUT legislation enacted by Congress, to arbitrarily regulate who uses cyberspace and what access they may enjoy, based entirely on the content of the material that they wish to publish there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;The United States government should not dictate to us what we can and cannot do on the Internet.

The list of companies, (over 150, so far), and unions, (nearly 50, at this time), the Obama Administration has been granting waivers to one provision of the Progressives health care scam, has been growing larger by the day. These waivers deal with limited health benefit plans, sometimes referred to as "mini-med" policies, which have limits on how much can be paid out in coverage; limits which would be phased out under &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;ObamaCare&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Could these waivers have been implemented because of political donations to the Democratic Party? Dishonest and unethical elected officials who trample on the Constitution, might just trade off favors like that. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;For a complete list of companies and unions, to date, of approved applications for waiver of the annual limits, go to:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hhs.gov/ociio/regulations/approved_applications_for_waiver.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;http://www.hhs.gov/ociio/regulations/approved_applications_for_waiver.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;-- Robert Heinlein&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4572330861415892326-6907286944713620894?l=theobamadeception.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4572330861415892326/posts/default/6907286944713620894'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4572330861415892326/posts/default/6907286944713620894'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theobamadeception.blogspot.com/2010/12/political-malpractice.html' title='Political Malpractice'/><author><name>graywaffles</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GoeFTRKKIl8/SRVXRXbvx_I/AAAAAAAAAFc/C87doPcyeug/S220/Ron+Paul+-+Meet+The+Press.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GoeFTRKKIl8/TP_wYMV7yLI/AAAAAAAAA6I/QKUDUuxhFVE/s72-c/Obama_Health_Plan.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572330861415892326.post-2400835553667590368</id><published>2009-12-03T21:04:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-06T00:06:47.066-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The 2009 Nobel Peace Prize recipient sends 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GoeFTRKKIl8/SxtjAn85nmI/AAAAAAAAA5A/FXmK_BmvU-8/s1600-h/obama_approval_index_december_5_2009.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412028239591349858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GoeFTRKKIl8/SxtjAn85nmI/AAAAAAAAA5A/FXmK_BmvU-8/s400/obama_approval_index_december_5_2009.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excerpt from Tom Hayden article at The Nation:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thenation.com/doc/20091214/hayden"&gt;http://www.thenation.com/doc/20091214/hayden&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama's escalation in Afghanistan is the last in a string of disappointments. His flip-flopping acceptance of the military coup in Honduras has squandered the trust of Latin America. His Wall Street bailout leaves the poor, the unemployed, minorities and college students on their own. And now comes the Afghanistan-Pakistan decision to escalate the stalemate, which risks his domestic agenda, his Democratic base, and possibly even his presidency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The expediency of his decision was transparent. Satisfy the generals by sending 30,000 more troops. Satisfy the public and peace movement with a timeline for beginning withdrawals of those same troops, with no timeline for completing a withdrawal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adding 30,000 to 35,000 US troops will raise the US death toll by over 1,000 by 2011 on Obama's watch, in addition to the 750 who died under Bush. The numbers of US wounded are rising faster than ever, with 300 counted in the past three months. Civilian casualties are under-reported according to the UN mission in Afghanistan. The budgetary costs are growing to $75 billion annually, and could become another trillion-dollar war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#003333;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"The obligations of our representatives in Washington are to protect our liberty, not coddle the world, precipitating no-win wars, while bringing bankruptcy and economic turmoil to our people."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#003333;"&gt; - - Ron Paul&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4572330861415892326-2400835553667590368?l=theobamadeception.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4572330861415892326/posts/default/2400835553667590368'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4572330861415892326/posts/default/2400835553667590368'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theobamadeception.blogspot.com/2009/12/2009-nobel-peace-prize-recipient-sends.html' title='The 2009 Nobel Peace Prize recipient sends 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan'/><author><name>graywaffles</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GoeFTRKKIl8/SRVXRXbvx_I/AAAAAAAAAFc/C87doPcyeug/S220/Ron+Paul+-+Meet+The+Press.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GoeFTRKKIl8/SxtjAn85nmI/AAAAAAAAA5A/FXmK_BmvU-8/s72-c/obama_approval_index_december_5_2009.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572330861415892326.post-8398715777038893963</id><published>2009-11-23T22:46:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-19T12:52:31.952-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Obama's global warming hoax exposed</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GoeFTRKKIl8/TQ5wSwlyirI/AAAAAAAAA8w/ltlVO0_K0Xo/s1600/GlobalWarming_Vodka_500.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552498858177759922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 375px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GoeFTRKKIl8/TQ5wSwlyirI/AAAAAAAAA8w/ltlVO0_K0Xo/s400/GlobalWarming_Vodka_500.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; To the dismay of the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit, (Hadley CRU), emails have surfaced purporting a collusion to falsify findings regarding the accuracy of global warming data, from hiding evidence of ancient warming periods to outright manipulation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obama's Cap and Trade relies solely on the public falling for the scam that the Earth's destruction is caused by the carbon dioxide, (CO2), that emits out of our motor vehicles exhaust. CO2 is a trace gas comprising only 0.038% of the atmosphere. Of course this isn't about environmentalism. It's about a global redistribution of wealth justified by a fictional crisis, enacting an endless array of new taxes, regulations and an expansion of government power. Obama and the Climate Fascists at the United Nations, have devised yet another media manufactured scare tactic to bilk the public out of any and all wealth that still remains. This is a coordinated attempt to distort climate research for political gain, designed to destroy U.S. sovereignty and facilitate global governance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Allegedly some of the most prominent scientists suggest:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Conspiracy &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;collusion in exaggerating warming data &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;possibly illegal destruction of information &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;organized resistance to disclosure &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;private admissions of flaws in their public claims &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="265" width="320"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hFt07eAAQ94&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hFt07eAAQ94&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Barack Obama and Al Gore are con artists, and the pseudo-scientists at CRU are exposed for what they really are – charlatans!&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to Al Gore, the high priest of global warming:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The carbon dioxide in the exhaust from your car and in the smoke stacks from our power plants is destroying the climate of planet Earth. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;The polar ice caps will melt, and in turn, Pacific islands will be totally submerged and sea levels will rise 20 feet inundating the coastal cities.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Global warming will disrupt the circulation of the ocean waters, dramatically changing climates, throwing the world food supply into chaos.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;We must change our lives and eliminate fossil fuels, as the future of our civilization is in the balance. &lt;a href="http://theobamadeception.blogspot.com/2009/06/obamas-war-on-prosperity-continues.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;http://theobamadeception.blogspot.com/2009/06/obamas-war-on-prosperity-continues.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"So the Global warming frenzy is, indeed, threatening our civilization.

The closer you study this scam the more you will discover it's not about health or care, it's about changing the core principles of our country, ignoring the Constitution and disrespecting the work of our Founding Fathers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Obama-care could limit important medicines and surgeries for seniors. Plus, how can Obama's government-run healthcare cover millions of additional patients without any new doctors? It can't.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obama's media friends at ABC and NBC, refused to air a 33-second national &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEHl_RhpMh8"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ad&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; by the League of American Voters, that was in opposition of the administrations healthcare plan. It's no surprise though, because earlier this year, on June 24th, ABC was the network that turned itself over completely to Obama for a day long propaganda fest about healthcare reform (excluding any groups with contrary views) and NBC is the network that sells 'all Obama, all the time' merchandise on it's site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;What can you find in H.R. 3200?

Organized labor has now entered the fray, promising to counter conservatives at the events. Sure enough, labor thugs savagely beat a conservative activist after a town hall meeting put on by Missouri's Russ Carnahan. Leah Thorsen of the &lt;a href="http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/news/stories.nsf/laworder/story/0470FEB3219207458625760B001142AC?OpenDocument"&gt;St. Louis Post Dispatch &lt;/a&gt;has the story:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;St. Louis County police say six people were arrested. Two of those were arrested on suspicion of assault, one of resisting arrest and three on suspicion of committing peace disturbances. Carnahan was gone when the ruckus started. Kenneth Gladney, a 38-year-old conservative activist from St. Louis, said he was attacked by some of those arrested as he handed out yellow flags with "Don't tread on me" printed on them. He spoke to the Post-Dispatch from the emergency room of the St. John's Mercy Medical Center, where he said he was waiting to be treated for injuries to his knee, back, elbow, shoulder and face that he suffered in the attack. Gladney, who is black, said one of his attackers, also a black man, used a racial slur against him before the attack started. "It just seems there's no freedom of speech without being attacked," he said. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;And who might have beaten Gladney? Jim Hoft of &lt;a href="http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/08/shock-video-dems-sneak-union-thugs-into.html"&gt;Gateway Pundit&lt;/a&gt; writes that hundreds of tea party protestors were kept out of the event but that members of the local SEIU were directed to a side door and gained immediate entrance:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;In this video you see one Carnahan supporter allowed into the meeting at Bernard Middle School through a side door. There were 1,000 tea party taxpayers stranded outside the main door. When two SEIU members attempted to get in the same side door marked "handicapped" the crowd went nuts and blocked them at the door. Did you notice how nonchalant the SIEU members were about getting inside the door? Like they knew right where to go.Inside the gym they roped off two sections. One was for the tea party taxpayers and quickly filled up when they opened the doors at 6:00 PM.The other section was marked "reserved" and this section was saved for the union members.The rest of the crowd was locked out!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;These have been the tactics of organized labor for 100 years. And given that the White House &lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0809/25891.html"&gt;has ordered Dems &lt;/a&gt;to hit back "twice as hard," it doesn't take much to connect the events in St, Louis (and &lt;a href="http://www2.tbo.com/content/2009/aug/06/protests-passions-roiling-town-hall-meeting-health/news-metro/"&gt;Tampa &lt;/a&gt;where more violence broke out) with what is going on at these meetings:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;They showed video clips of the confrontational town halls that have dominated the media coverage, and told senators to do more prep work than usual for their public meetings by making sure their own supporters turn out, senators and aides said. And they screened TV ads and reviewed the various campaigns by critics of the Democratic plan."If you get hit, we will punch back twice as hard," Messina said, according to an official who attended the meeting.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;The administration couldn't make it any clearer if they drew a map. Barack Obama is personally responsible for any violence that breaks out at these meetings. If he wasn't president and suggested that Democrats hit back "twice as hard," he would be held legally responsible for the violence that broke out in St, Louis and Tampa. But this is politics - the way the Democrats play it. It couldn't be any clearer that the goal of the labor thugs is to intimidate people from coming to these town hall meetings unless they are supporters of the president. Obama's labor brown shirts will continue these tactics unless the president himself calls them off. And given the perilous condition of his health care reform bill, there isn't much chance of that happening...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;Video of incident can be seen at this link:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.redstate.com/moe_lane/2009/08/07/getting-in-their-faces-st-louis/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;http://www.redstate.com/moe_lane/2009/08/07/getting-in-their-faces-st-louis/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4572330861415892326-7590906175177264066?l=theobamadeception.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4572330861415892326/posts/default/7590906175177264066'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4572330861415892326/posts/default/7590906175177264066'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theobamadeception.blogspot.com/2009/08/obama-looses-labor-thugs-on-tea-party.html' title='Obama looses labor thugs on tea party town hall protestors'/><author><name>graywaffles</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GoeFTRKKIl8/SRVXRXbvx_I/AAAAAAAAAFc/C87doPcyeug/S220/Ron+Paul+-+Meet+The+Press.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GoeFTRKKIl8/SnxDdABiueI/AAAAAAAAAsA/b6GfiQ-lH94/s72-c/obama+joker.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572330861415892326.post-2493254002447452449</id><published>2009-06-24T20:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-11-21T16:17:58.147-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Obama's War On Prosperity continues: The Carbon Tax Scam</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GoeFTRKKIl8/SkMF7UY0rSI/AAAAAAAAAqA/UjNZzjtas-k/s1600-h/cap-and-trade-ball.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351127298889526562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 302px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GoeFTRKKIl8/SkMF7UY0rSI/AAAAAAAAAqA/UjNZzjtas-k/s400/cap-and-trade-ball.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;ELECTRICITY COSTS WILL SKYROCKET UNDER &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;OBAMA'S&lt;/span&gt; ANTI-COAL ENERGY POLICY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Obama's&lt;/span&gt; next outrageous power grab, with the help of Rep. Henry &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Waxman&lt;/span&gt; [D, CA-30] and Rep. Edward &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Markey&lt;/span&gt; [D, MA-7], will greatly expand government control and increase energy costs for every family. The &lt;strong&gt;minimum&lt;/strong&gt; estimated costs to the American taxpayer will be $650 billion over the next eight years.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Barack Obama, in a January 17, 2008, interview with the San Francisco Chronicle (SF Gate), - - excerpt:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Let me sort of describe my overall policy. What I've said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;else's&lt;/span&gt; out there. I was the first to call for a 100% auction on the cap and trade system, which means that every unit of carbon or greenhouse gases was emitted would be charged to the polluter. That will create a market in which whatever technologies are out there that are being presented, whatever power plants that are being built, that they would have to meet the rigors of that market and the ratcheted down caps that are being placed, imposed every year. So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted.&lt;br /&gt;When I was asked earlier about the issue of coal, uh, you know, under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket."&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;This system of energy "allocations" has failed in Europe and will politicize America's energy policy, not to mention bankrupt the coal industry. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This unjust scheme of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Obama's&lt;/span&gt; to collect more taxes, comes in the form of a congressional bill, H.R. 2454. If passed, this bill would impose a cap-and-trade system in which businesses would have to purchase allowances from the government based on the amount of carbon dioxide they emit. By &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;invasively&lt;/span&gt; manipulating an already over-regulated energy industry, this legislation seeks to fix an alleged problem that has recently been discredited by 1000's of scientists including the founder of The Weather Channel, John Coleman, who said - - -&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"It is shocking, but true, to learn that the entire Global Warming frenzy is based on the environmentalist’s attack on fossil fuels, particularly gasoline. All this big time science, international meetings, thick research papers, dire threats for the future; all of it, comes down to their claim that the carbon dioxide in the exhaust from your car and in the smoke stacks from our power plants is destroying the climate of planet Earth. What an amazing fraud; what a scam."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;Scam is right. Carbon Dioxide makes up less than 1% of our  atmospheric gases and it has also been shown that CO2 is also needed for plant growth. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This new tax on energy promises to increase taxes for American families by $1,000's, as it would require businesses to use cleaner burning motor fuels, thereby raising their costs and increasing the price of goods and services to regular consumers. And according to the Heritage Foundation, between 1.2 and 2.3 million jobs could be lost over the next ten-years due to the bill’s stifling regulations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Coal fuels half of U.S. electricity, and it’s the low-cost half. Americans strongly support the use of coal, but it appears Obama wants to "bankrupt the coal industry" with a burdensome tax code. So he essentially wants to shut down the coal business; and he's also very much in favor of skyrocketing electricity rates. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor and bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000066;"&gt;- - Thomas Jefferson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4572330861415892326-2493254002447452449?l=theobamadeception.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4572330861415892326/posts/default/2493254002447452449'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4572330861415892326/posts/default/2493254002447452449'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theobamadeception.blogspot.com/2009/06/obamas-war-on-prosperity-continues.html' title='Obama&apos;s War On Prosperity continues: The Carbon Tax Scam'/><author><name>graywaffles</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GoeFTRKKIl8/SRVXRXbvx_I/AAAAAAAAAFc/C87doPcyeug/S220/Ron+Paul+-+Meet+The+Press.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GoeFTRKKIl8/SkMF7UY0rSI/AAAAAAAAAqA/UjNZzjtas-k/s72-c/cap-and-trade-ball.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572330861415892326.post-6313576528277159481</id><published>2009-04-11T18:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-11-15T12:44:51.397-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The peace candidate seeks $83.4 billion to continue Afghanistan and Iraq wars</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GoeFTRKKIl8/SeFOYKGe7SI/AAAAAAAAAjg/V2wYLVr0cDM/s1600-h/helicopter.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323622411464011042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 378px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 378px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GoeFTRKKIl8/SeFOYKGe7SI/AAAAAAAAAjg/V2wYLVr0cDM/s400/helicopter.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Barack Obama’s election promise to bring “change” to Washington and reverse the juggernaut of the Bush war machine has proven to be nothing more than a cruel hoax"...&lt;/em&gt; - - Paul Joseph Watson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Washington Post reported on April 10, 2009:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;President Obama sent Congress an $83.4 billion spending request yesterday to fund his administration's strategies in Iraq and Afghanistan through the summer, in what officials promised would be the last such off-budget proposal to pay for the wars.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Full article at:&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2009/04/10/ST2009041000113.html"&gt;http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2009/04/10/ST2009041000113.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Obama's 17,000, new troop surge into Afghanistan, is expected to include 8,000 Marines from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, as well as 4,000 additional Army troops from Fort Lewis, Washington.

Americans are facing tremendous unemployment and hardship.

Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;He repeatedly vowed,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"you will not see any of your taxes increase one single dime."&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now in office, Obama, signed a law raising the tobacco tax nearly 62 cents on a pack of cigarettes, thus increasing the tax by 156%. Other tobacco products saw similarly steep increases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even the always trustworthy Joe Biden assured the American sheeple,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"No one making less than $250,000 under Barack Obama's plan will see one single penny of their tax raised, "whether it's their capital gains tax, their income tax, investment tax, any tax."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;The latest increase in the federal tax is by far the largest since its introduction in 1951, when it was 8 cents a pack. It's gone up six times since, each time by no more than a dime, &lt;strong&gt;until now&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#993399;"&gt;"The government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it.

(AHN) - The Senate Finance Committee on Monday revealed that President Barack Obama's nominee for U.S. Trade Representative, Ron Kirk, had failed to pay $10,000 in taxes over the span of three years beginning in 2005. The panel report comes after several other nominees faced controversy over tax issues.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Kirk, a former Dallas mayor, failed to report as income $37,750 in honoraria collected for 16 speaking engagements at Austin College, his alma mater, for 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. He also deducted NBA Mavericks tickets worth $17,382 as entertainment expenses in 2006, 2006 and 2007, but has substantiated only $9,900 of the expenses.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Two nominees of President Barack Obama, former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and Nancy Killefer, pulled themselves out of consideration in February due to tax issues. Treasury Sec.

Where's the change Obama has been preaching?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As deputy attorney general under Janet Reno, Holder has consistently championed stronger gun-control measures. In fact, he supported the District of Columbia's handgun ban, lobbied Congress to pass legislation that would have given the federal government the power to shut down all gun shows and went so far as to say that the Second Amendment does not protect an individual right, but instead protects the right to have a firearm when serving with a militia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To push his gun control agenda, Obama is surrounding himself with extremists, who have been striving to erase the Second Amendment from the Bill of Rights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After leaving the Clinton administration, Holder became a partner at the legal and lobbying firm of Covington &amp;amp; Burling. Holder’s most publicized case at the firm was his defense of Chiquita Brands International, Inc., whose executives were facing potential charges because of their financing of right-wing death squads in Colombia. Holder protected those executives at the expense of the corporation, his client, causing the corporation to take the fall and pay a $25 million fine, while the executives who actually committed the crime in the name of the corporation remained uncharged.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a senior legal advisor to the Democratic Party, Holder supported the police state measures enacted under the Bush administration, playing a leading role in the talks that led to the re-authorization of the Patriot Act in 2005. The Patriot Act grants unchecked powers to government, and strips U.S. citizens of their right to due process, unreasonable search and seizure and other basic freedoms. Barack Obama voted yes to reauthorize the Patriot Act (S. 2271), in March, 2006.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Remember those last-minute Clinton pardons? Eric Holder was there, a key figure in the clemency process, helping to bring them about. He brokered one of the most unjustifiable pardons that an American president has ever granted. Holder sparked a firestorm of controversy due to his involvement in the final corrupt act of the Clinton administration: the pardons issued on Bill Clinton's last day in office. Of these, fugitive Marc Rich, was granted a pardon in the final hours of the Clinton presidency.World-class mobster commodities trader, Marc Rich, who is No. 242 on Forbes' list of the 400 wealthiest Americans with a net worth of $1.5 billion, renounced his U.S. citizenship in 1983, and ran off to Zug, Switzerland, shortly before a grand jury indicted him on charges of racketeering, 51 counts of tax fraud, and illegal oil deals with Iran. Federal prosecutors said Rich rigged an oil pricing scheme during the 1973 energy crisis and in 1980, during the Iran Hostage crisis, he purchased six million barrels of oil from the Iranian government and sold it on the world market. Payments were made fraudulently through American banks and illegal use of American telecommunications facilities. Rich’s attorneys took the pardon straight to the White House attorneys, and gained pardon for their client, whose ex-wife, Denise, just happened to be a major donor to the Clinton library and Clinton's legal defense fund... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;$450,000 to the Clinton library&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;$10,000 to the Clinton legal defense fund.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;More than $1 million to the Democratic Party&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;$109,000 to Hillary Rodham Clinton's first bid for the Senate&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;If that wasn't enough, Eric Holder has also advocated for internet censorship. As reported by NPR's Morning Edition on May 28, 1999, he said:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;"The court has really struck down every government effort to try to regulate it. We tried with regard to pornography. It is gonna be a difficult thing, but it seems to me that if we can come up with reasonable restrictions, reasonable regulations in how people interact on the Internet, that is something that the Supreme Court and the courts ought to favorably look at."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With the help of Eric Holder, Rahm Emanuel and other Clinton retreads, the Obama presidency is laying the foundations for the continuation of not only many of the criminal policies of the past eight years, but the new ones to come.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;- -Thomas Jefferson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4572330861415892326-7012250196234667936?l=theobamadeception.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4572330861415892326/posts/default/7012250196234667936'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4572330861415892326/posts/default/7012250196234667936'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theobamadeception.blogspot.com/2009/02/obama-selects-janet-renos-anti-gun.html' title='Obama Selects Janet Reno&apos;s Anti-Gun Point Man As Next Attorney General'/><author><name>graywaffles</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GoeFTRKKIl8/SRVXRXbvx_I/AAAAAAAAAFc/C87doPcyeug/S220/Ron+Paul+-+Meet+The+Press.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GoeFTRKKIl8/SaBrxtD2CwI/AAAAAAAAAZE/XpueECYXmJo/s72-c/Clinton+and+Holder.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572330861415892326.post-3080414323723539673</id><published>2009-02-03T19:23:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-04-04T10:12:29.970-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Obama's top nominees withdraw from candidacies due to problems with the IRS</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GoeFTRKKIl8/SdePAzRwu_I/AAAAAAAAAig/-1UCshSXrBc/s1600-h/Daschle+tax+cheat.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320878728689007602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 222px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GoeFTRKKIl8/SdePAzRwu_I/AAAAAAAAAig/-1UCshSXrBc/s400/Daschle+tax+cheat.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Two top nominees, including former Senate majority leader Tom Daschle withdrew their candidacies from the Obama administration nominees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Daschle's exit from consideration to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, resulted after a firestorm over his failure to pay $146,000 in taxes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;More than $100,000 in back taxes and interest for a car and driver that was provided to him for four years by Leo Hindery, a wealthy Democratic donor, longtime friend and business associate of Daschle.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Daschle was paid $1 million annually for his consulting services, and he had unreported consulting income of $88,333, in 2007.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Daschle also had reductions to charitable contributions totaling about $15,000 over the three years.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just hours earlier, Obama's nominee for the newly created position of Chief Performance Officer, Nancy Killefer, also stepped aside because of a tax problem. Killefer failed for a year and a half to pay employment taxes on household help.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rewarding failure is just part of the Washington political culture. Just ask Barack Obama’s Treasury Secretary nominee Tim Geithner and the Senate Republicans. Recently, Geithner was confirmed as treasury secretary despite belatedly paying $34,000 in income taxes. A guy who can’t figure out his own taxes is supposed to 'fix the economy?' You don't seriously expect us to believe that?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Add the fact that Obama's first choice for commerce secretary, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, took his name out of consideration when his confirmation appeared headed toward complications because of a grand jury investigation over how state contracts were issued to political donors, and you've got to at least wonder... what kind of people has Obama been associating with?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;"Is there no virtue among us? If there be not, we are in a wretched situation. No theoretical checks -- no form of government can render us secure.

If there be sufficient virtue and intelligence in the community, it will be exercised in the selection of these men.

But NAFTA is much more: It is the constitution of an emerging continental economy that recognizes no one but the business corporation. It gives corporations extraordinary protections from government policies that might limit future profits, and extraordinary rights to force the privatization of virtually all civilian public services. Disputes are settled by secret tribunals of experts, many of whom are employed privately as corporate lawyers and consultants. At the same time, NAFTA excludes protections for workers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The business-backed politicians who pushed the agreement through the three legislatures promised that NAFTA would generate prosperity. But as soon as the ink was dry, US factories began to shift production to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;maquiladora&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; assembly plant factories along the border, where the Mexican government assures an obsequious labor force and minimal environmental restrictions. The US trade surplus with Mexico quickly turned into a deficit, and since then at least 300,000 jobs have been lost.&lt;br /&gt;In all three countries NAFTA has worsened the distribution of income and wealth. While ordinary people paid the costs, the benefits went to the continent's "powerful elite". Canadian and US corporate investors got guaranteed access to Mexico's cheap labor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Rahm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Emanuel, served on the board of directors of the federal mortgage firm Freddie Mac, known formally as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, at a time when scandal was brewing at the troubled agency and the board failed to spot "red flags," according to government reports reviewed by &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;ABCNews&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.com.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to a complaint later filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Freddie Mac, misreported profits by billions of dollars in order to deceive investors between the years 2000 and 2002. The entire board was later accused by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;OFHEO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;) of having "failed in its duty to follow up on matters brought to its attention."Freddie Mac agreed to pay a $50 million penalty in 2007 to settle the SEC complaint and four top executives of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation were charged with negligent conduct and, like the company, agreed to settle the case without admitting or denying the allegations. The actions by Freddie Mac are cited by some economists as the beginning of the country's economic recession. The federal government this year took over Freddie Mac and a sister federal mortgage agency, Fannie Mae, pledging at least $200 billion in public funds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Freddie Mac records have been subpoenaed by the Justice Department as part of its investigation of the suspect accounting procedures. During the years 2000, 2001 and 2002, according to the SEC, Freddie Mac substantially misrepresented its income to "present investors with the image of a company that would continue to generate predictable and growing earnings."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Rahm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Emanuel was named to the Freddie Mac board by President Bill Clinton in 2000.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;"Commerce with all nations, alliance with none, should be our motto."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;- - Thomas Jefferson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4572330861415892326-7626492319650523820?l=theobamadeception.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4572330861415892326/posts/default/7626492319650523820'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4572330861415892326/posts/default/7626492319650523820'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theobamadeception.blogspot.com/2009/01/obama-appoints-rahm-emanuel-as-chief-of.html' title='Obama appoints Emanuel as chief of staff'/><author><name>graywaffles</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GoeFTRKKIl8/SRVXRXbvx_I/AAAAAAAAAFc/C87doPcyeug/S220/Ron+Paul+-+Meet+The+Press.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GoeFTRKKIl8/SYEsuNdqjyI/AAAAAAAAAT0/jf_hZ3tawcY/s72-c/Rahm+and+Barack.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry></feed>
