There are many levels to Obama care and the Senators and the Congress do not get the same that the average Joe in America will get

Don't let this government fool you. There are many levels to Obama care and the Senate and the Congress do not get the same that the average Joe in America will get. Some policies with Obama care will only receive 3-6 prescriptions a month. So if you are a heart patient and allergic to Beta Blockers and you need to take more then six prescriptions a month you are out of luck.
Also what is being developed are the Obama care clinics. You don't see a doctor. Who you see is a Nurse Practitioner . If you have something they cant handle they direct you to the Hospital where before you get treated you must pay the fee,
  Congress and the Senate have the top quality Obama care. They get a private doctor ( not the clinic) they get prescriptions for free, X-rays, and they see a specialist without a referral. And we pay for all this so they can have better care then us.

Now there is a staged picture below. How could they love Obamacare when it has be delayed till 2015,

Obama delays healthcare insurance requirement on employers till 2015

Businesses welcome announcement that key Obamacare provision will not be implemented until after next election

The US administration has announced that it will not require employers to provide health insurance for their workers until 2015, delaying a key provision of Barack Obama's healthcare reform law by a year, to beyond the next election.
The move raises questions about the future of other provisions of the law, including the mandate for individuals to obtain health coverage in 2014. Businesses and their lobbyists have complained loudly about the reporting requirements for companies that employ 50 or more full-time workers.
Retailers and other business interests welcomed the change, which analysts said could stop a main avenue of attack on Obama's signature domestic policy achievement as campaigning for the 2014 midterm congressional election gets under way later this year.
Republicans called it evidence that Obama's plan was a failure, while Democrats termed it a demonstration of flexibility.
Whether that flexibility opens the door to further changes in the healthcare law is now a matter of debate. The law, popularly known as Obamacare, was passed in 2010 and upheld a year ago by the US supreme court.
"If this is negotiable, it seems like anything is negotiable," said Malcolm Slee, a tax lawyer working with businesses on healthcare implementation.
Companies would have had to pay the Internal Revenue Service $2,000 for each full-time employee who did not get health coverage, beginning on 1 January, when the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is scheduled to come into full effect.
"This is designed to meet two goals," Mark Mazur, the Treasury department's assistant secretary for tax policy, said in a government blog. "It will allow us to consider ways to simplify the new reporting requirements consistent with the 2010 law. Second, it will provide time to adapt health coverage and reporting systems while employers are moving toward making health coverage affordable and accessible."
Mazur said the administration would publish formal guidance describing the changes within the next week.
Edward Lenz, senior counsel of the American Staffing Association, an employment and recruiting industry group, said administration officials briefed his organisation on Tuesday, portraying the delay as a "practice year" for businesses.
"In our conversation this afternoon with representatives from the administration, they are expecting employers to voluntarily go forward with these rules," he said.
Trade groups representing retailers and restaurants, among those expected to be hit hardest by the mandate, welcomed the one-year extension.
"We commend the administration's wise move," said the National Retail Federation vice-president Neil Trautwein. "This one-year delay will provide employers and businesses more time to update their healthcare coverage without threat of arbitrary punishment."
Some analysts saw the change as a responsible move to accommodate smaller businesses. It could also help the public education campaign to persuade the uninsured to sign up for coverage.
"It takes away one of the potential sources of criticism and frankly negative stories that were likely to materialise in the fall," said Larry Levitt, of the Kaiser Family Foundation, which tracks healthcare issues.
Republican lawmakers seized on the announcement as evidence that the healthcare reform they have repeatedly sought to repeal represented a flawed administration policy.
The House of Representatives speaker John Boehner said the administration should now provide relief to individuals who face a penalty if they do not obtain health coverage by 2014. The so-called individual mandate will begin next year at $95, or 1% of taxable household income, and rise in phases to $695 per person, with a cap of 2.5% of household income, by 2016.
"This is a clear acknowledgment that the law is unworkable, and it underscores the need to repeal the law and replace it with effective, patient-centred reforms," Boehner said in a statement.
But Adam Jentleson, a spokesman for Senate majority leader Harry Reid, said the change would help to make Obamacare as beneficial as possible by allowing the administration to work with business stakeholders. "It is better to do this right than fast," he said.
The administration has already delayed insurance offerings for small businesses that were to be made available through new online exchanges. A recent report by a watchdog, the Government Accountability Office, also called into question whether new insurance marketplaces for millions of individuals would meet a 1 October deadline for open enrolment.
The importance of the decision contrasted with how it was announced: through two low-key blogposts on Tuesday evening, one on the website of the Treasury department and the other at www.whitehouse.gov at a time when Obama was travelling and Congress was in recess for the 4 July holiday.
Valerie Jarrett, a senior adviser to Obama, said in a blogpost on Tuesday that the government was fully prepared to open the new insurance exchanges for individuals in October. While the nation's largest employers already offer extensive health benefits to their full-time employees, many small and mid-sized companies will now be required to provide insurance for the first time.
Tuesday's delay also raised questions about initial funding for Obamacare. The employer mandate is expected to raise $140bn in revenues over the next 10 years, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office. The CBO estimates that the individual mandate will bring in a further $45bn.
"It does undermine some of the funding," said Julie Barnes, of the healthcare consulting firm Breakaway Policy.

Kerry says Obama will bypass the Congress and Senate and sign a UN treaty on arms regulation... Good bye Constitution Hello Dictator Obama

Fox News - Fair & Balanced


Kerry says US will sign UN treaty on arms regulation despite lawmaker opposition



Secretary of State John Kerry said Monday that the Obama administration would sign a controversial U.N. treaty on arms regulation, despite bipartisan resistance in Congress from members concerned it could lead to new gun control measures in the U.S. 
Kerry, releasing a written statement as the U.N. treaty opened for signature Monday, said the U.S. "welcomes" the next phase for the treaty, which the U.N. General Assembly approved on April 2. 
"We look forward to signing it as soon as the process of conforming the official translations is completed satisfactorily," he said. Kerry called the treaty "an important contribution to efforts to stem the illicit trade in conventional weapons, which fuels conflict, empowers violent extremists, and contributes to violations of human rights." 
The treaty would require countries that ratify it to establish national regulations to control the transfer of conventional arms and components and to regulate arms brokers, but it will not explicitly control the domestic use of weapons in any country. 
Still, gun-rights supporters on Capitol Hill warn the treaty could be used as the basis for additional gun regulations inside the U.S. and have threatened not to ratify.   
Last week, 130 members of Congress signed a letter to Obama and Kerry urging them to reject the measure for this and other reasons. 
"As your review of the treaty continues, we strongly encourage your administration to recognize its textual, inherent and procedural flaws, to uphold our country's constitutional protections of civilian firearms ownership, and to defend the sovereignty of the United States, and thus to decide not to sign this treaty," the lawmakers wrote. 
The chance of adoption by the U.S. is slim, even if Obama goes ahead and signs it -- as early as Monday, or possibly months down the road. A majority of Senate members have come out against the treaty. A two-thirds majority would be needed in the Senate to ratify. 
What impact the treaty will have in curbing the estimated $60 billion global arms trade remains to be seen. The U.N. treaty will take effect after 50 countries ratify it, and a lot will depend on which ones ratify and which ones don't, and how stringently it is implemented. 
The United Nations has organized a high-level signing ceremony at U.N. headquarters on Monday -- a sign of the treaty's global importance -- and several dozen countries are expected to sign, the first step to ratification. 
The Control Arms Coalition, which includes hundreds of non-governmental organizations in more than 100 countries that promoted an Arms Trade Treaty, said it expects many of the world's top arms exporters -- including Britain, Germany and France -- to sign alongside emerging exporters such as Brazil and Mexico. It said the United States is expected to sign later this year. 
The coalition noted that more than 500,000 people are killed by armed violence every year and predicted that "history will be made" when many U.N. members sign the treaty, which it says is designed "to protect millions living in daily fear of armed violence and at risk of rape, assault, displacement and death." 
Many violence-wracked countries, including Congo and South Sudan, are also expected to sign. The coalition said their signature -- and ratification -- will make it more difficult for illicit arms to cross borders. 
The treaty covers battle tanks, armored combat vehicles, large-caliber artillery systems, combat aircraft, attack helicopters, warships, missiles and missile launchers, and small arms and light weapons. 
It prohibits states that ratify it from transferring conventional weapons if they violate arms embargoes or if they promote acts of genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes. The treaty also prohibits the export of conventional arms if they could be used in attacks on civilians or civilian buildings such as schools and hospitals. 
In addition, the treaty requires countries to take measures to prevent the diversion of conventional weapons to the illicit market. This is among the provisions that gun-rights supporters in Congress are concerned about. 
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Britain is not only overtaxing the rich BUT now is going after EVERYONE

Britain is not only overtaxing the rich BUT now is going after EVERYONE. This is the future of America   from the Over Spending of this government. I am sure Congress and the Senate will exempt themselves like they always do


Now they want to tax jewellery: New Lib Dem wealth plan to target ALL assets - including buy-to-let homes

  • Families will be forced to pay tax on heirlooms under Lib Dem scheme
  • Tax inspectors would have powers to enter homes and value items
  • Nick Clegg's party looking at plans to extend proposed mansion tax
  • Plans condemned by Conservatives

Families will be forced to pay tax on jewellery and other heirlooms under controversial new plans drawn up by the Liberal Democrats.
Under the scheme, tax inspectors would get unprecedented new powers to go into homes and value rings, necklaces, paintings, furniture and other family treasures.
Householders would be forced to pay a new ‘wealth’ levy on the assets – with the threat of fines for those who refused to let snoops value their possessions.
A policy document seen by The Mail on Sunday spells out how the taxman ‘may have to visit homes to test values of jewellery, paintings, etc’.
Controversial: Lib Dem plans to tax all assets including jewellery formed part of a policy document commissioned by the party's Federal Policy Committee, which includes Nick Clegg - pictured at home with wife Miriam

Last night, Liberal Democrat MP Tessa Munt said that the jewellery tax was ‘an interesting idea’.
Another plan to extend the proposed mansion tax to include those with ‘buy to let’ and holiday homes is also being considered by Nick Clegg’s party.
Both the Lib Dems and Labour are already committed to introducing a mansion tax on individual properties worth over £2 million.
However, the document reveals the Deputy Prime Minister’s party is now looking to go much further and levy the tax if anyone’s total property holdings are worth more than £2 million.
That would mean those who had invested in buy-to-let flats or a holiday home could be caught by the tax, even if none of those properties was worth over £2 million on their own.

Last night, both the jewellery and mansion tax moves were condemned by the Lib Dems’ Conservative Coalition partners as ‘the politics of envy at their worst’.
The plans come in a policy document drawn up by party tax experts – including Ms Munt and key Clegg ally David Laws – as groundwork for the Lib Dems’ next General Election manifesto.
Commissioned by the party’s Federal Policy Committee, which includes Mr Clegg and other senior Lib Dems, the report makes clear the party’s determination to force the better-off to pay more tax.
It lists, among a catalogue of proposals, a new ‘net wealth tax’ on personal assets, which would require taxpayers ‘to self-assess their net worth’ – which could then be checked by inspectors.
Plot: Under the scheme, tax inspectors would get unprecedented powers to go into homes and value rings, necklaces, paintings, furniture and other family treasures

The report says: ‘HM Revenue and Customs, in policing the system, may have to visit homes to test whether asset values of jewellery, paintings etc, were correct.’
HMRC last night confirmed that they currently had no routine powers to enter people’s homes, with tax inspectors needing a court order for that level of access.
The document, to be discussed at next month’s Lib Dem conference, gives no details on what the rates would be for the wealth tax.
A similar scheme is already in place in France, with the levy paid on all‘global assets’ including cars, jewellery and investments – with French tax inspectors having the right to enter homes. After his election last year, new Socialist president Francois Hollande more than doubled the main wealth tax rate from 0.25 per cent to 0.55 per cent for anyone with a ‘global fortune’ of between £690,000 and £1.1 million.
The Lib Dem blueprint also set out plans to expand the scope of the proposed mansion tax to cover an entire property portfolio, as an alternative to the ‘jewellery’ tax.
The document said: ‘If successfully designed, this would ensure taxpayers with multiple properties would be liable for the mansion tax on the cumulative value of their holding above £2 million.’
One senior party member last night said the so-called ‘mansion tax-plus’ would be hugely popular among party activists in their South-West of England heartland, where people resent well-off outsiders buying up second homes and putting up property prices for local residents.
But tax experts forecast that the change would end up bringing many more people into the mansion tax net. Mike Warburton, tax director at accountants Grant Thornton, said: ‘A hell of a lot more people would be caught by a cumulative mansion tax.’ He also condemned the proposal to extend the mansion tax as a ‘double taxation’ on owners of buy-to-let properties, who already pay tax on the rent they receive.

In a further move, the Lib Dems are also looking to boost the income from inheritance tax by changing the current gift exemption rules. Currently, any items given away in the seven years before death are subject to inheritance tax but the party wants to extend that to 15 years.
Separately, Labour confirmed that it would force a vote in the Commons to bring in a mansion tax and appealed to Lib Dem MPs to join them in forcing the measure through against Conservative opposition.
Last night, the Lib Dem tax agenda met with a scathing response from the Tories who warned that a Frenchstyle ‘jewellery’ tax would end up driving wealth out of the country.
And the revised mansion tax scheme was condemned as a ‘direct attack’ on people investing for their retirement. Tory MP Charlie Elphicke said: ‘This is the politics of envy at its worst. Not content with taxing people’s homes, the Liberal Democrats want to send tax inspectors to root through possessions – from your car to your jewellery. This is invasive, it’s punitive and it’s anti-aspiration– and people won’t stand for it.’
A Lib Dem spokesman last night said the tax ideas would be discussed by the party, but insisted they were not yet approved policy.
He said: ‘This consultation is part of the process of asking for ideas on how to ensure a fairer tax system.
‘It is up to Lib Dem party members as to whether these eventually become party policy.’
Privately, one party insider said the Lib Dems would be ‘mad’ to go with the French-style wealth tax.
Last night, an opinion poll showed Labour maintained a five point lead over the Tories during the past month. The ComRes survey put Labour on 36 per cent, Tories 31, UKIP 14 and Lib Dems down three points on just eight.

Obama's agenda: Overwhelm the system


Posted: Jun. 6, 2010 | 12:00 a.m.
Rahm Emanuel cynically said, "You never want a crisis to go to waste." It is now becoming clear that the crisis he was referring to is Barack Obama's presidency.
Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within. 
Barack Obama is my college classmate (Columbia University, class of '83). As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University. They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government. Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.
-- Universal health care. The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?
-- Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around."
-- Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state? Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Obama's plan all along. His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.
-- Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America. But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security.
-- Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues). All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America. The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means.
-- Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition.
With the acts outlined above, Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.
Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme -- all devised by my Columbia University college classmate Barack Obama.

How the Government is Wasting your Tax dollars and won't tell you

You want to know where your money is spent and why we are Trillions in Debt? These Senators and Congress people make is seem like all the money is spent on the American Public but it's wasted on China, on Pakistan etc, not on the starving people like they claim but on Muslim Sesame Street, a Stonehenge like Prayer Temple for a Pagan Air Force Cadets. All this wasted money on Obama and I also blame the your Congress people, Senators and the Governors, " the good Christians ", the Tea Party people's choice, who are running for President. Folks this is our money they are spending and they don't give a damn because they refuse to expose this.

I do care and I would not allow this to go on. Visit www.leahlax.com. I need to raise another $20,000 by the end of the year. Please donate so I can stop this. You don't like what I have to say, that's good because that shows you are not for the People of the USA but for the thieves who continue to steal and get rich off of your money. Lets stop hiding the facts and bring them out in the open. These are the issues.

Sesame Street for Pakistan, studying the effect of cocaine on birds' sex lives, and Stonehenge for Pagan Air Force Cadets: Billions of federal dollars 'wasted' as U.S. debt explodes

By Damien Gayle
Last updated at 2:02 PM on 23rd December 2011

Billions of federal tax dollars were wasted on apparently frivolous and unnecessary projects in 2011, even as the national debt ballooned to more than £15trillion.
For example, $10million was spent on a remake of Sesame Street for Pakistan featuring a hard-working donkey, called Baily, who longs to be a pop star.
More than £175,000 was spent on a study into the link between cocaine use and risky sexual practices - in Japanese quail.

And, incredibly, a billion dollars was handing home improvement tax credits to people who don't own homes - including prisoners and children.
These are just some of the $6.9billion worth of apparently frivolous, publicly funded projects identified in a report published by Republican Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma.
Dubbed the 'Wastebook Report', it identifies 100 taxpayer funded programmes it says the U.S. doesn't need and, worse, can't afford.

In the report's opening statement, Senator Coburn writes: 'Over the past 12 months, Washington politicians argued, debated and lamented about how to reign in the federal government‘s out of control spending.
'All the while, Washington was on a shopping binge, spending money we do not have on things we do not need, like the $6.9 billion worth of examples provided in this report.
'The result: Instead of cutting wasteful spending, nearly $2.5billion was added each day in 2011 to our national debt, which now exceeds $15 trillion.'

Many of the most expensive projects outlined in the report actually benefit those in other countries - or are, at least supposed to.
The U.S. sent $18million in foreign aid to China, a country that has lent the U.S. government $1trillion and is its largest creditor.
Bajan businessmen did well out of the U.S. taxpayer, with USAID spending $1.35million to Barbados's Cave Hill School of Business to promote entrepreneurship.
Local politicians in India - the world's fifth largest economy - benefitted from a $425,642 study into how they can improve their PR.
And Indonesians were able to enjoy the best in U.S. dance, after $30,000 was spent sending a New York-based dance troupe to perform in the country.
The military-industrial complex was also a significant beneficiary.
In Iraq, nearly $4.4billion was frittered away in 2011 alone on wartime contracting waste and fraud, according to a congressional report.
And more than $200million was spent in 2011 (out of a total $3billion spend) building an alternative engine for the F-35 fighter plane which the Pentagon then decided it didn't need.

Politicians looked after themselves well too, of course. The report reveals that $35.38million of taxpayer cash was handed to the two main political parties for their own parties - despite Congress enjoying a dismal 9 per cent approval rating - the lowest ever.
Senator Coburn concludes: 'The year 2011 will be remembered as a period of unrest as outraged Americans of all political stripes — tea party patriots on the right and Occupy Wall Street activists on the left — took to the streets in anger and disgust with the direction of our nation.
'As you look at these examples, regardless of your personal political persuasion, ask yourself: Would you agree with Washington these represent national priorities or would you agree these reflect the wasteful spending habits that threaten to bankrupt the future of the American Dream?'

  • Researchers at Columbia university were handed $606,000 for a study into how online dating affects sexual behaviour.
  • The Oregon Cheese Guild received $50,000 in taxpayer funding to promote the Oregon cheese industry by creating a statewide 'Cheese Trail'.
  • Lecturers from Eastern Illinois and Kent State Universities went on an epic pilgrimage to England to trace the steps of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, costing taxpayers $136,555.

Cutting the Aid Money for Palestinians


At last the US Congress sees the West bank and Gaza uses that money to attack Israel. Why should America finance attacks on America's only real friend in the middle east.

Abbas is punished by $200m cut in aid from US


Congress makes Palestinians pay for seeking UN recognition
By Donald Macintyre in Jerusalem
Saturday, 1 October 2011

The United States Congress has blocked nearly $200m in aid for the Palestinians, threatening projects such as food aid, health care, and support for efforts to build a functioning state.

The decision to delay the payments runs counter to the wishes of the Obama administration and reflects Congressional anger at Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's so far unrealised pursuit of Fatah-Hamas reconciliation and statehood recognition at the UN.
The freezing of the funds, which were to have been dispersed in the US fiscal year that ends today, is the most tangible sign yet of the seriousness of Congressional leaders' threats of an even wider halt to funding in the coming year if Mr Abbas continues with his actions at the UN. It was strongly condemned yesterday by the Palestinian Authority.
There have been persistent demands in Congress to withhold up to $600m – the average amount given by the US in bilateral assistance to the West Bank and Gaza every year since 2008 – in the next financial year over the issue.
The administration remains, as does Congress, opposed to the Palestinians' application for full UN membership, which Mr Abbas submitted last week. But it argues that assistance to the Palestinian people is what a US official described as "an essential part of the US commitment to a secure future and two-state solution for Palestinians".
Former President Bill Clinton, among others, this month warned legislators to leave the issue of aid to the administration, adding: "Everybody knows the US Congress is the most pro-Israel parliamentary body in the world. They don't have to demonstrate that."

You dont need to wear the flag

You don't need to wear the flag on your clothing to be a Patriot, you need to say enough of this no one is listening and listen to us.


This is a group that the self claimed Far Right Winged Patriots are claiming are the Marxists and the Communists. These people are tired of the mishandling of the government we have and they are taking a stand. They work differently with emotion and action unlike the Far Right. All the Far Right can do is complain and whine like five year old children. God forbid they leave their couch with their beer actually do something.


I agree with them that the Senators and Congresspersons are not listening. This is NOT a Party Issue it is an American Issue. I say stop the name calling and join forces. Remember: Together We stand, divided We fall!


I want to war in the Middle East to stop I want to stop giving money to the Islamic countries. We shouldn't be fighting this war but big business along with the Islamic government made terrorists started this war. I want to stop Sharia from creeping into the USA. I want to see Jobs in the USA for every American citizen first. I want to see small business develop and flourish in the USA. The Government must stop harassing major businesses who make products here in America. We need to develop America and stop the outsourcing. I want to see us to be independent of the Muslim Oil Companies.

Obama supports and wants Multiculturalism in the USA. The movement of Multiculturalism is: "We move into YOUR country. We set up House. We DO NOT OBEY the laws of YOUR country. We establish the Laws of the Country we came from and then force it on your laws your courts your people!" This is what Multiculturalism is and it doesn't work! People who obey the laws are driven out of their homes because they cannot live with these foreigners.

Michigan: Muslim politicians support sharia, oppose bill targeting ‘foreign’ laws

If you’re opposed to banning sharia law, then don’t be surprised when people call you out for supporting it. via Politics-State | Michigan bill targets use of ‘foreign’ laws like Sharia | The Detroit News.
Oralandar Brand-Williams/ The Detroit News
Detroit— A state lawmaker wants Michigan to join the trend of states banning “foreign laws,” but Muslim activists say the effort is a thinly veiled attack on Islam.
Rep. Dave Agema, R-Grandville, is pushing a bill to bar the implementation of foreign laws. It doesn’t mention Sharia — Islamic law — but he acknowledged it would be prohibited in courts under the legislation intended to prevent anyone “who tries to shove any foreign law down our throats.”
“No foreign law shall supersede federal laws or constitution or state laws or constitution,” Agema said. “Our law is our law. I don’t like foreign entities telling us what to do.”
Agema said his bill would protect the “vast majority” of Muslims, whom he contended “come to this country to get away from Sharia.”
Apparently Oralandar Brand-Williams doesn’t neccesarily agree that the “vast majority” of Muslims came here to get away from sharia. Did they come here to live under sharia?
The legislation comes at a time of heightened debate about Sharia, a set of religious rules governing personal conduct, family relationships and religious practice for Muslims. Critics fear Sharia could supersede civil law and have an impact on divorce and child custody cases, and similar legislation has been introduced in 25 states.
Some say the bills are unnecessary and pander to anti-Muslim paranoia.
“Agema … is a reflection of a segment of the GOP that is openly xenophobic and Islamophobic,” said Dawud Walid, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ Michigan chapter.

State Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, plans to speak out about the bill during a press conference Tuesday in Midtown. Victor Begg, a prominent Republican and co-founder of the Council of Islamic Organizations of Michigan, called the bill “appalling.”
The Council of Islamic Organizations of Michigan (CIOM) is a proud partner with two unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation convictions – CAIR and ISNA, as well as the Islamic Shura Council of Michigan. Yes, a shura council. The background on Tlaib ain’t pretty either.
“Some in our party find it politically opportune to target my faith by sponsoring an innocuous sounding bill, knowing well that their intent is so-called ‘creeping Sharia,’” Begg said.
Agema called the criticism “hogwash.”
If anybody has a problem with this that means they don’t agree with U.S. laws,” he said. “If they don’t want it passed then they have an ulterior agenda. It shows the people accusing me of that (bigotry) are guilty of it themselves.”
The bill was introduced in June and hasn’t made it to a legislative committee, and its fate is unclear.
So far, only Tennessee and Oklahoma have enacted similar laws. A federal judge blocked implementation in Oklahoma while she determines whether it violates the U.S. Constitution’s guarantees of religious freedom.
The law was amended in Tennessee after Muslims complained it targeted their religion.
William Raftery, a spokesman for the Virginia-based National Center for State Courts, said legislation is “moving quickly” in some states. Others say the debate is just heating up.
Christine Brim, a spokeswoman for the Center for Security Policy in Washington, D.C., said her group has identified 50 cases that could be influenced by Sharia. Most involved divorce or child custody and one was in Michigan, she said.
“There’s a lot of them out there,” Brim said. “We think we’ll see more with the increased immigration of people from countries that are totalitarian.”

Starving Palestinians Update: Smuggled BMW goes for $100,000

High-salaried Palestinian Authority officials are the smugglers' clientele. So in other words, they are paying for these cars with your UN relief money.
"Smuggling in North Sinai Surges as the Police Vanish," by David D. Kirkpatrick in the New York Times, August 14 (thanks to Bill):
RAFAH, Egypt — The smuggler’s car lot is so brazenly out in the open, it is hard to tell that the business is actually illegal. A Bedouin car smuggler in Rafah, Egypt, can expect to make at least $2,000 per vehicle, after paying suppliers and bribes.
Cars are driven from the chaos in Libya to this small patch of sand amid the fig trees in the North Sinai desert, where Palestinians can pick out their model and haggle over the price. Then they wait in Gaza for delivery through tunnels snaking beneath the border.
The police have all but disappeared from the northern Sinai since the Egyptian revolution, and the smuggling business has grown so exponentially that Hamas, the militant group controlling Gaza, recently decided to limit the car imports to 30 a week for fear of pollution and traffic congestion in the narrow Mediterranean enclave, smugglers say.
“There are no police around to check,” one smuggler said as a white Hyundai Tucson with Libyan plates pulled into the lot.
As law enforcement returns elsewhere in Egypt six months after the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak, there is still almost no sign of the police in Bedouin-dominated North Sinai, the region along the border with Israel that has long been a center of criminal activity. Mr. Mubarak treated it as virtual enemy territory and flooded it with police officers as he sought to help enforce an Israeli blockade of Gaza.
And now the withdrawal of his security forces has unleashed not only a smuggling bonanza but also a more violent backlash against his Israel policy. Six unexplained bombing attacks (the first one failed to go off) have repeatedly shut down a pipeline that delivers natural gas to Israel under a Mubarak-era contract that is wildly unpopular because of its association with both Israel and corruption. The interruption of the gas supply has done as much as any formal policy change to strain relations between the two allies. No one has been arrested in any of the attacks.
The Egyptian military announced over the weekend that it was deploying more troops to the border region to help with security, but Bedouin around Rafah said Monday that they had noticed no change. [...]
Smugglers said they earned a generous profit on cars purchased in Libya. One said he might buy a Libyan car for the equivalent of $22,000 and sell it in Gaza for about $30,000. Another said he bought a black BMW x6 sports car for $80,000 and planned to sell it for $100,000, after a few desert joy rides for himself. Smugglers say they pay about $6,000 to Hamas and the tunnel owner and, after various other bribes, typically pocket $2,000 to $2,500 in profit per car.
Though unemployment is high in Gaza, there are plenty of salaried Palestinian government officials, small-business people and those active in the black market who can afford to buy a car.
On the streets of North Sinai’s regional capital, El Arish, a smuggler pointed out the illicit cars. The irregular bolts on the license plates gave away a stolen black Toyota Hilux pickup, and a white Hyundai without any plates was a model sold in Libya but unavailable in Egypt. The smuggler spoke on condition of anonymity because, after all, his work was illegal, though he and others said that since the revolution the authorities seemed to worry only about political activities, not criminal acts.
We have had no problems at all since the revolution — not even close calls,” a smuggler said as he puffed on a water pipe with a group of confederates around a table along the beach at a local hotel....

This is what Obama has started here !

This is what Obama has started here with his bleeding heart tree hunging liberals. Since when is an asylum seeker given special treatment? Are you angry yet? This will stop when you elect me! It won't stop with the same people who are running who are in Congress and the Senate who approved of this form of spending. You know who I am talking about: Huey, Dewey, Louie and Webby. They haven't done anything positive since they have been elected and you think they will do something positive now? They are all talk and no show. How can they say what they are going to do when they are part of the problem?

Jobless Somali asylum seekers are put up in lavish £2m, six bedroom house paid for by the taxpayer

By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 4:25 PM on 14th August 2011
An unemployed couple and their family have been moved into a luxurious London home worth £2million - and pay it with a monthly £8,000 housing benefit funded by the taxpayer.
Unemployed Saeed Kahliif, 49, from Somalia, his wife Sayida and their children have been handed the keys to a sprawling six-bedroom home in West Hampstead, in North London.
After moving from their Coventry home - which cost £1,000 a month in rent - the new property is thought to be one of the most expensive houses ever paid for by housing benefit.

The People reported that the family have moved from their cheaper house to the exclusive postcode so they can be nearer their friends and family who live in the capital.
Estate agents boasted that the opulent home is a 'stunning six-bedroom, two-reception house' and was 'recently refurbished to a high standard offering ample living space with a spacious en suite master bedroom.'
Four of the bedrooms have an ensuite shower room, two have dressing rooms and it also boasts a 90ft garden.
It is unclear how many children the family have.
The family can now count comedian and author Stephen Fry as their neighbour.

When approached by The People Mr Khaliif said in the three years that he had lived in the UK, he and his wife had not worked and were reliant on benefits to support them and their family.
Camden Council declined to comment to the newspaper, but Cllr Johnny Bucknell, who sits on their housing committee, said: 'When Camden housing is gridlocked and there is ample room up north, why are we encouraging people to move south?'
Cllr Chris Knight whose ward includes the family's home was puzzled as to why the taxpayer was funding the expensive upgrade when there were so many people desperately needing a home.
'It seems daft that we have people from this area who we can't house but are spending £8,000 on rent from someone outside of Camden.'
Although the government brought in new measures to cap housing benefits and try to stop outrageous rent prices being forced onto the public purse.
Capped at £400 a week, the Khaliif's new home was advertised at £7,800 a month, and would not be an option.
But because the family moved before the changes have been introduced they can count the light and spacious home as theirs.
The Department of Work and Pensions, which funds housing benefits, told the newspaper: 'It is unfair on taxpayers that some claimants are in large homes most working families can afford. It is vital we lower housing benefit costs.'
The rules will come into force in April and when claims come up for renewal claimants on housing benefits will have to look for homes they can afford.
Vulnerable families may be exempt from this.
