Congress Giving Obama Emergency Control over the Internet; Power for Pulling the plug on American Networks and Servers under Guise of National Defense

Congress Giving Obama Emergency Control over the Internet; Power for Pulling the plug on American Networks and Servers under Guise of National Defense:
By Marc Chamot

“And no wonder U.S. congressional approval ratings are lower than the biggest men’s sized shoes. OK, if you want me to be more politically incorrect about it, their congressional approval ratings are lower than whale DUNG.”

As if President Obama doesn’t have enough on his plate already, it looks like he wants to be in control over the Internet. This hopeless president can’t even create new jobs for the millions of unemployed Americans. Now wants to curb ‘freedom of speech.”

There’s a bill in congress that will give the president more power to pull the plug on American networks and servers under emergency decrees. Mind you folks, not just foreign, they are talking about ours, American.

Where have we seen this kind of power grab before? Oh yes, with the previous moronic administration. Yes, Mr. President, we’re seeing the change and hope that you were talking about during your campaigns.

They ALL know that the Internet has supplanted traditional media in influence over American politics; they want to target conservatives, just like they tried to do with talk radio.

I think this congress, mainly Democrats, and this administration have gone totally bonkers and are way out of control. Something has got to be done to STOP these lunacies, these anti-free speech mongers. First it was an attack on conservative talk radio, with the “fairness doctrines,” and now it’s the Internet.

So in other words, let me see, if a network or a server is dedicated in attacking Democrats, to place qualified Republicans or Independents in office during the 2010 midterms elections, will Obama and the democrats use their power to pull the plug on these servers and networks under national security?

This is a very serious political matter folks. Those powers should only be used for foreign cyberspace attacks, those coming from Russia, North Korea and China not OURS.

Its just mindboggling what people did when they voted for these inept power grabbers in Washington. As the days go by it gets worse and far worse, can any body think what I’m thinking, a revolution of some sorts? I think its coming, it won’t be long, but it’s coming.

Bill would give president emergency control of Internet
by Declan McCullagh
August 28, 2009 12:34 AM PDT

Internet companies and civil liberties groups were alarmed this spring when a U.S. Senate bill proposed handing the White House the power to disconnect private-sector computers from the Internet.

They're not much happier about a revised version that aides to Sen. Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat, have spent months drafting behind closed doors. CNET News has obtained a copy of the 55-page draft of S.773 (excerpt), which still appears to permit the president to seize temporary control of private-sector networks during a so-called cybersecurity emergency.

The new version would allow the president to "declare a cyber-security emergency" relating to "non-governmental" computer networks and do what's necessary to respond to the threat. Other sections of the proposal include a federal certification program for "cyber-security professionals," and a requirement that certain computer systems and networks in the private sector be managed by people who have been awarded that license.

"I think the redraft, while improved, remains troubling due to its vagueness," said Larry Clinton, president of the Internet Security Alliance, which counts representatives of Verizon, Verisign, Nortel, and Carnegie Mellon University on its board. "It is unclear what authority Sen. Rockefeller thinks is necessary over the private sector. Unless this is clarified, we cannot properly analyze, let alone support the bill."

Representatives of other large Internet and telecommunications companies expressed concerns about the bill in a teleconference with Rockefeller's aides this week, but were not immediately available for interviews on Thursday.

A spokesman for Rockefeller also declined to comment on the record Thursday, saying that many people were unavailable because of the summer recess. A Senate source familiar with the bill compared the president's power to take control of portions of the Internet to what President Bush did when grounding all aircraft on Sept. 11, 2001. The source said that one primary concern was the electrical grid, and what would happen if it were attacked from a broadband connection.

When Rockefeller, the chairman of the Senate Commerce committee, and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) introduced the original bill in April, they claimed it was vital to protect national cyber-security. "We must protect our critical infrastructure at all costs--from our water to our electricity, to banking, traffic lights and electronic health records," Rockefeller said.

The Rockefeller proposal plays out against a broader concern in Washington, D.C., about the government's role in cyber-security. In May, President Obama acknowledged that the government is "not as prepared" as it should be to respond to disruptions and announced that a new cyber-security coordinator position would be created inside the White House staff.

Three months later, that post remains empty, one top cyber-security aide has quit, and some wags have begun to wonder why a government that receives failing marks on cyber-security should be trusted to instruct the private sector what to do.

Rockefeller's revised legislation seeks to reshuffle the way the federal government addresses the topic. It requires a "cyber-security workforce plan" from every federal agency, a "dashboard" pilot project, measurements of hiring effectiveness, and the implementation of a "comprehensive national cyber-security strategy" in six months--even though its mandatory legal review will take a year to complete.

The privacy implications of sweeping changes implemented before the legal review is finished worry Lee Tien, a senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation in San Francisco. "As soon as you're saying that the federal government is going to be exercising this kind of power over private networks, it's going to be a really big issue," he says.

Probably the most controversial language begins in Section 201, which permits the president to "direct the national response to the cyber threat" if necessary for "the national defense and security." The White House is supposed to engage in "periodic mapping" of private networks deemed to be critical, and those companies "shall share" requested information with the federal government. ("Cyber" is defined as anything having to do with the Internet, telecommunications, computers, or computer networks.)

"The language has changed but it doesn't contain any real additional limits," EFF's Tien says. "It simply switches the more direct and obvious language they had originally to the more ambiguous (version)...The designation of what is a critical infrastructure system or network as far as I can tell has no specific process. There's no provision for any administrative process or review. That's where the problems seem to start. And then you have the amorphous powers that go along with it."

Translation: If your company is deemed "critical," a new set of regulations kick in involving who you can hire, what information you must disclose, and when the government would exercise control over your computers or network.

The Internet Security Alliance's Clinton adds that his group is "supportive of increased federal involvement to enhance cyber security, but we believe that the wrong approach, as embodied in this bill as introduced, will be counterproductive both from an national economic and national security perspective."

Obama, Barbara Boxer & S.F. Liberals Want to Ax U.S. Attorney Joseph Russoniello; Over Legality of San Francisco Sanctuary Policies for Criminal Illegal Aliens:
By Marc Chamot

“When the doo-doo of politics hits the fan, it sure stinks up the whole dang place.”

When President Barack Obama was running for office, former Senator Ted Kennedy had him join the brotherhood of the Kennedy family clan. Ted Kennedy was that lifetime former liberal career politician from Massachusetts, the one that they called the lion of the senate, he was from a family who some people called Camelot and our only Royalty family who ever lived. Which I don’t think so!

I was never a Kennedy family fan. Maybe, Robert Kennedy was the one I liked, up until the Marilyn Monroe questionable suicide that occurred. You know the one, with Peter Lorre, Monroe’s Psychiatrist, and Robert Kennedy, who were all seen around the time of Marilyn’s death by a former LA cop, who had pulled them over for a traffic violation.

But for Ted Kennedy, I really can’t say much about him. I’ve been told; if I didn’t have anything nice to say about a dead person, don’t say anything. All I can say about Teddy K is that Mary Jo Kopechne will be waiting for him at the gates of Hell.

When Teddy Kennedy passed on the family torch to Obama, Kennedy must have inadvertently told him “"Go West, young man, go west and grow up with the country.”

That’s exactly what Obama has done. He is going for the loony and dysfunctional California politics to help him define new policies for his administration and for this country to follow. Instead of looking for it in Massachusetts or elsewhere for that matter, he picked a real dead end state to base his policies on.

Oh yes I forgot, Massachusetts isn’t plagued by out of control criminal illegal aliens, their gangs, and massive traffic hit and runs because of undocumented unlicensed drivers, California is, and President Obama is their friend, right?

So now these San Francisco liberal left cry babies have had enough with the more conservative, law and order, U.S. Attorney for Northern California Joseph Russoniello, a George Bush appointee, who had recently convened a grand jury to investigate the criminal activities of San Francisco politicians behind their sanctuary city policies for illegal aliens.

It is not so strange that Senator Barbara, known as (Bow-Wow) Boxer is leading his ouster as U.S. Attorney along with some rank and files, left-wing and progressives San Francisco board members who rather have a more of the look other way U.S. attorney type.

These liberals have mustered a few replacement names to Obama via Boxer, Melinda Haag, Mathew Jacobs and Kathryn Ruemmler. What San Francisco is doing, they want to ignore and circumvent federal immigration laws to protect criminal illegal alien youths.

What’s the big problem with it?

A leftist Liberal, and former illegal alien himself, David Campos is proposing a new San Francisco ordinance, for criminal Illegal alien youths, not to be turned over to ICE, unless they have felony raps charged against them and are prosecuted by court of law.

But the problem with that big idea, with this liberal left city such as San Francisco, the local DA and court systems will be rigged in their favor, with the likes of current DA Kamala Harris and an aspiring State Attorney General, will simply keep dropping these charges from felony to misdemeanors to prevent ICE from EVER accessing these criminal elements.

It also means that these criminal illegal alien elements will be on the streets and causing more mayhem and putting the public safety in bigger danger. It also means that they can roam around the country, and cause more problems in your neck of the woods. It has happened before, and the city of St Francis is facing multi-million dollar lawsuits over their sanctuary policies and past neglects.

California Conservatives & Progressive Radio; Banding Together Through Tea Parties to Fight Environmentalists/Political Corruptions:

California Conservatives & Progressive Radio; Banding Together Through Tea Parties to Fight Environmentalists/Political Corruptions: "Their cause is to clean up California’s environmentalists' political cronies, and their corruption that is watonly destroying the economy, manufacturing industries, jobs and taxing folks into oblivion."
By Marc Chamot

Since when will you find a moderate to center, and a Democrat progressive talk radio, uniting with the more conservative National Tea Parties, to fight for common cause?

While President Obama wants to bring failed California environmentalists ideals into the national levels, both progressive Democrats and conservatives are banding together to fight the evils, who have damaged the state’s economy.

We all know that I have been pretty critical of President Obama lately. The problem is the abysmal current state of the nation, I for one; definitely want to see our first African American president succeed. But, not to follow the path that California had taken.

If Obama and his Democratic cohorts want to apply California’s liberal, the very left’s, pro-environmentalists, and anti-industry agendas on the national level, which is dooming the state financially, this nation will be in a HEAP of more trouble.

What has caused most of California’s economic woes, were both intertwined with public corruption, along with the most powerful, and influential, environmentalists who control numerous of California’s corruptive regulatory commissions. Regulatory commissions like CARB, California Air Resources Board, ARB Pollution-Cutting Tools
Campaign promotes one-stop shop for compliance with clean air regulations
.
Now, the San Francisco’s leading progressive, and Democrat leaning talk radio, KGO has banded together with the National Tea Parties, to clean up wholesale public corruption in Sacramento, in the state capital of California.

The man leading the charge is none other than talk shows host, Dr. Bill Wattenburg, known as Dr. Bill.

He’s been on a popular crusade to clean up Sacramento from the stranglehold that left-wing environmentalists have over the state and some of its politicians. “They are all killing the state's economy; California has its own Trade and Cap rules and regulations that isn’t working. It’s causing industries to scram, and millions of job loses.”

Now these Sacramento sleaze balls want to take on diesel engines in the state. They practically want to paralyze truck transportation within the state, life saving transportation systems for durable goods, consumable goods and so forth, because they say that diesel engines are emanating too many carbons.

It takes one look into California to really see what these leftists’, environmentalists’ have done to California, with disastrous policy results, and serious damages caused by paralyzing the state financially.

If President Obama persists on using and taking some of California’s failed environmentalist’s agendas, the very core of left-wing ideals that has put California in an economic Armageddon, the nation is doomed to repeat it.

Does President Obama really want to pursue that same ideology nationally, for the rest of the nation to follow a FAILED corruptive program?

Here is more in the battle, on how folks are fighting back these environmentalists’ GREEN monsters and their politicians.

7000 California Teachers Fired to Fund Rogue State Agency--Truckers Next!
"This site is dedicated to a grassroots effort with the sole purpose of convincing California law makers to disband The California Air Resources Board. Why are we doing this? Because the California Air Resources Board (CARB) is a rogue agency that is causing harm to the environment and to the working people of this state.We need to get started now.

The first step is making contact with your Representatives and asking them to support this effort. If they agree, they will be praised here. If they do not they will be exposed.

We are asking that you write a letter, send an e-mail or fax to your representative in the State Assembly and State Senate, and then send us both your letter and the reply that you get. Those will be posted here--you will remain anonymous. To get started, click on the link to the lists of Members of the State Assembly and Members of the State Senate.

Next, find your representatives and make contact. It is important that you act now! Your state legislators and the governor have fired over 7000 teachers in the state in order to give 857 million dollars of your tax dollars to this outrageously corrupt state agency. Why? Easy. Follow the money.

The CARB payroll is loaded with political friends of the legislators. Hundreds of these worthless so-called public servants collect hundred thousand dollar salaries and pension benefits that working families can never expect. CARB is also in bed with organizations that steer many millions to the campaign coffers of the legislators.

Why otherwise would the legislature keep CARB alive and growing --- and rob the youth of California of the education they deserve? When the state is bankrupt, teachers are losing their jobs, millions are out of work, and the legislature gives CARB billions of dollars to waste on its fraudulent campaigns and regulate the working people as if they are criminals spoiling the environment.

Of course, CARB must manufacture a new "health crisis" every year to justify its existence.CARB is demanding that every off-road diesel engine in the state be replaced with less efficient engines that will actually add to the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

If that is not enough, the 20 million dollar price tag will place a financial burden on an estimated 30 thousand business owners and will put many of them out of business--it is estimated that 150,000 jobs could be lost if these companies pull up stakes and move from California.

Here are some other CARB highlights:
Reformulated Diesel Fuel: Do you remember when CARB mandated that Diesel Fuel be reformulated without adequate testing in the 1990's?

The new fuel damaged thousands of diesel engines in the state and over ten million dollars of state funds were used to replace many of the damaged engines. You the taxpayers and working people paid for this. Bet your legislators never told you about this. But they fired 20,000 teachers in the state recently because they wasted your tax dollars on fraud agencies like CARB where they have placed their friends and political cronies on the payroll until the next election.

MTBE: Over thirty billion paid out by working families over ten years for extra 20 to 30 cents a gallon. Estimated 10 billion dollars more to clean up ground water around the state that is contaminated with MTBE. CARB has an army of professional liar”public information officers" who spread the CARB propaganda to keep the CARB agency budget growing every year.

They spent ten years lying to both the legislature and the public about the "benefits" of MTBE in your gasoline. Finally, the legislature had to ban MTBE in your gas when scientists proved that it was a poison to our environment and you. The average working family was forced to pay out over eight thousand dollars over ten years for the MTBE poison in their gasoline in California. (They would have over $12,000 in the bank today for their children' education if that money had been saved and invested).

Electric Car mandates: CARB set the American automotive industry back by ten years in developing hybrid cars because CARB would not allow them as zero emission or low emission cars while CARB insisted on demanding that 5% of cars in California had to be electric cars. Only after they were forced to admit that the electric cars were a fraud, did they allow hybrid cars. By that time the Japanese manufacturers were way ahead of America. That has cost the American workers in the auto industry over 200.000 jobs and crushed the industry."

And the WAR is on:

Obama Administration Projects $2 Trillion More into Deficit/Record Workplace Suicides over Job Losses & Those Gun Totting Extremists:

Obama Administration Projects $2 Trillion More into Deficit/Record Workplace Suicides over Job Losses & Those Gun Totting Extremists:
By Marc Chamot

Once in a blue moon, the liberal San Francisco Chronicle have some of the brainiest Op-Ed writers who come along.

Unfortunately most of the time, they have absolute morons like David Sirota.

His piece was on Americans fielding weapons during congressional and presidential town halls on healthcare.

He bunched most of those people as anti-government extremists; he goes on criticizing while only minorities of discontent Americans were actually threatening some sorts of revolt and civil disobediences.

Someone came out and said, “It’s time to water the tree of liberty,” while another said to, “forcefully resist people imposing their will on us through the strengths of the MAJORITY.”

While I personally agree with the first part, I disagree with the part on imposing their will on us through the strengths of the MAJORITY, this person has got it all wrong, but it’s more like imposing the wills of the MINORITY and special interests over the majority’s.

Most of us, Americans like myself, we’re getting sick and tired of minority interests and special interests, with their politician allies imposing their wills, and their political ideological agendas over the majority of Americans.

That is the problem folks. That is the big problem with America these days.

Throughout the years numerous policies, very unpopular, bad policies, have been pushed and enacted by congress and previous presidents, which have been contrarian to majority of Americans’ beliefs, interests, needs and wants.

So David Sirota goes on to argue that the brandishing of weapons by these people is to “intimidate or coerce a civilian population.” This is where he’s so far off the mark. It’s more like to intimidate or coerce our useless, those idiotic, elected officials who are running our government and our country down into the ground.

So to this guy, Sirota, our guns have now become a bullying weapon of some sorts. He compared those folks to a “noose in Jim Crow South, with the message; if you dare engage in the Democratic process, you risk bodily harm.”

I’ve never read such a drug induced piece of horse manure in my life. This guy is a great candidate for the “kuku for coco puffs” awards of the year.

But never mind those years of bad Washington decisions and policies for minority interests over the majority, have left this country in a financial bind. With insurmountable unemployed, wanting to grant more amnesties for 12 million illegal aliens, draconian trade deals that have left this nation in economic ruins.

Never mind that that workplace suicides have risen 28 percent last year, 5,071 Americans have killed themselves over economical job loses, compared to 251 who killed themselves in 1992, according to recent reports from the Labor Department.

Workplace suicides rise by 28 percent
“Workplace suicides surged 28 percent last year, the Labor Department said Thursday, as anxious workers dealt with a struggling economy and watched colleagues depart in a rash of layoffs.

At the same time, the agency's Bureau of Labor Statistics said the total number of workers who died on the job from any cause fell by 10 percent.

The 5,071 workplace fatalities recorded in 2008 was the lowest number since the agency began tracking the data in 1992. That number includes 251 suicides, the highest number since official reporting began.

Labor officials did not seek to explain the sudden rise in workplace suicides.

The agency says economic factors could be responsible for the overall decline in fatalities. Workers on average worked 1 percent fewer hours last year and the construction industry - which usually accounts for a major share of accidental workplace deaths - posted even larger declines in employment or hours worked.

Gary Chaison, a professor of industrial relations at Clark University in Worcester, Mass., said the numbers suggest the economy is taking a toll on worker morale."

And never mind that the then, presidential candidate Barack Obama wanted to take on the second amendment; he wanted to re-instate the 1994 assault weapons ban. Obama wanted top regulate more gun sales, and he wanted to bring more control, limit gun ammunitions sales and so forth.

So, has David Sirota ever thought about that these weapons may have been to show Washington politicians that our gun rights shall never be infringed?

So of course, a good many of us are pretty ticked off in the way this once thriving nation has become.

I’ve had to explain our show of arms in some of these political gatherings to the dismay of some of my fine foreign blogger friends in Canada and the United Kingdom.

President Obama and this congress have NO solutions for job recoveries, for the 16 million or more out of work Americans.

And then the news gets even grimmer, the American economic news is worse than what was feared, the Obama administration projects the federal deficit to swell over the next ten years due to slumping revenues, because of the masses unemployed, and the economical crisis.

They estimate that 2 trillion dollars will be added to the current deficit and with new projections for the cumulative deficits for 2010-2019 in the tune of 9 trillion dollars.

A real bummer for public healthcare reforms, right?

$2 trillion added to projected U.S. deficit
“The Obama administration expects the federal deficit over the next decade to be $2 trillion bigger than previously estimated, White House officials said Friday, a setback for a president already facing a Congress and public wary over spending.
The new projection, to be announced on Tuesday, is for a cumulative 2010-2019 deficit of $9 trillion instead of the $7 trillion previously estimated. The new figure reflects slumping revenue from a worse economic picture than was expected earlier this year. The officials spoke only on the condition of anonymity ahead of next week's announcement.

Ten-year forecasts are volatile figures subject to change over time. But the higher number will likely create political difficulties for President Obama in Congress and could create anxiety with foreign buyers of U.S. debt.

Earlier this week, the White House revealed that it expects a budget deficit for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30 to be nearly $1.6 trillion. That figure was lower than initially projected because the White House scratched out $250 billion that it had initially added to the budget as a bank rescue contingency. The administration ultimately did not ask Congress for that money.

Still that number, together with the 10-year projection, represents a huge obstacle for an administration trying to undertake massive policy overhauls in health care and the environment.

Economists predict a slow recovery from the recession, further testing Obama's goal of cutting the deficit to $512 billion in 2013. Even as he seeks higher revenue to pay for new climate change and health care measures, the president could face pressure to increase revenue or make deep spending cuts to tame the deficit.

In its earlier projections, the White House said the deficit would be manageable if it slides to 3 percent of gross domestic product. Earlier projections barely met that standard - even after relying on optimistic assumptions like the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan costing $50 billion a year instead of the $130 billion budgeted for 2010.

Now, the deficits could easily exceed 4 percent of GDP, even after cost-cutting efforts or new revenue projected in Obama's budget.

Such deficits have always prompted Congress and the White House to take politically painful steps to curb them, such as former President Bill Clinton's tax-heavy 1993 deficit reduction plan. A companion effort by Obama could force him to break his promise to not raise taxes on individuals making less than $200,000 a year.”

"Before an idiotic journalist like David Sirota pops off in his columns, he needs to look into the bigger picture on things; otherwise, he'll look like a real jackass."

Illegal Aliens & their Supporters Sue California to Keep Police from Confiscating their Automobiles for Driving Without Licenses:

Illegal Aliens/Supporters Sue California to Keep Police from Confiscating their Automobiles for Driving Without Licenses & San Francisco to Pass City Ordinance Banning City Officials from turning Over Criminal Illegal Alien Youths to ICE:
By Marc Chamot

Undocumented aliens and their activists’ supporters want California to STOP impounding vehicles driven by unlicensed illegal immigrants during routine traffic stops.

And then we've got this IDIOTIC San Francisco Supervisor, and former illegal alien himself, David Campos who wants to pass a new city ordinance, to protect criminal illegal alien youths from federal authorities.

The way it is now, when unlicensed people have their cars towed, they must get a license and pay hefty fees to get their cars back, but in California, there are no licenses given to illegal aliens. So police usually wind up selling these vehicles at auction blocks.

They are saying that police municipalities are misinterpreting the law, which California law contends that police officers are required by state law to impound vehicles of any unlicensed driver.

But in 2005, the very Liberal, pro-criminal court of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that it was unconstitutional to seize someone’s vehicle without demonstrating that the vehicle was a threat to public safety. They basically said that driving without a license was not a sufficient reason to impound someone’s car.

When the Ninth Circuit Court made their decision in 2005, they weren’t talking about illegal immigrants driving without licenses.

Some Southern California attorneys, the ACLU, and various illegal immigrants’ rights groups are suing the cities involved, and are taking their fight, and you guessed it, back to the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court.

And then these morons on the San Francisco board of supervisors, want criminal illegal alien youths protected from federal deportations.

SF Supervisors' Move To Protect Immigrant Youth
JULIANA BARBASSA, Associated Press Writer SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ― San Francisco

"supervisors introduced a measure Tuesday that would keep underaged undocumented immigrants suspected of a crime from being handed over to immigration authorities until they've been proven guilty.

The measure would reverse a position implemented last year by Mayor Gavin Newsom, which allowed underage illegal immigrants suspected of a felony to be handed over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement before they faced the charges in juvenile court.Newsom's policy change came after the San Francisco Chronicle reported that young felons who had been shielded from deportation by a loophole in the city's 1989 sanctuary city policy had committed other crimes.

"This is a balanced piece of legislation that tries to strike a middle ground between two extremes," said David Campos, the supervisor sponsoring the measure.Newsom opposes the proposed measure, said spokesman Nathan Ballard."The policy should not be used as a shield for criminal behavior," said Ballard, adding that the proposed amendment could threaten existing protections for immigrants by subjecting San Francisco's sanctuary city policy to legal challenges."It paints a bull's eye on our back," he said.

But the proposed measure, already backed by eight of the city's 11 supervisors, could withstand the mayor's veto.It could also inform the way other cities handle undocumented immigrant minors once they're detained, said Angela Chan, staff attorney with the Asian Law Caucus."This would be the first city to use this kind of a strategy — requiring due process for youth before they're referred to ICE," said Chan.

"It's innovative as a strategy, but as far as principles and values, it's something that is recognized by federal and state law."The mayor's 2008 policy change angered San Francisco's immigrant community. Many charged it was overly broad, leading to the deportation of young men and women who were arrested but not yet proven guilty.Attorneys who work with immigrant youth said about 190 young men and women have been referred to federal immigration authorities for deportation since the policy took effect in July 2008."

These imbeciles can be reached at http://www.sfgov.org/site/bdsupvrs_index.asp

Both of these are prime examples, in how undocumented, illegal aliens and their supporters, want to keep pushing, and pushing for rights that they don’t even have. What part of illegal they don’t understand? They broke the law being here, and they are now breaking another law, by driving without a license.

This is the kind of lunacy Americans are getting FED up with. What used to be a nation of rules and laws, we’ve got those who want to pick and choose their laws, which laws are fine to keep, and which ones we don’t have to abide by.

If we allow these lawbreakers to get away by breaking more of our laws, then maybe a rapist, child molester, or a bank robber may someday want to sue over miscarriages of fair justice, where as some groups are getting away with their crimes, while others don’t. This kind of stuff breaks true law and order for any nation.

Is there a STOP the Barack Obama left-wing political agendas trains wreck?

There is a new non-profit conservative group out called the U.S. Citizens Association out of Akron Ohio. This group is hell bent on reforming the United States back from its awkward leftist state, those years of bad politics from both parties have left this country in shambles, just as my argument above.

I’m not familiar with the group, at first sight, they seem to be far too right-wing for me, but it’s worth checking them out and then sign up with them if you like them.

Here is a brief on the group’s mission to better America.

“Socialists organize through labor unions, government employee unions, teachers unions, entertainment industry unions, environmental organizations, and plaintiff attorney organizations, political action organizations such as ACORN, Media Matters, and MoveOn.org. They also receive substantial funding from individuals (like George Soros) and have developed very advanced fundraising methods – including Internet.

The liberal socialists have used all of these resources to indoctrinate the public through advertising; promote liberal socialist candidates; file lawsuits for liberal socialist causes; and form grass roots organizations to promote liberal socialist causes.

In contrast, conservative capitalists have shown very poor organization. Conservative talk show hosts do a great job, and they reach 30% of the public, which is a great achievement in 20 years. But that is not enough. There are conservative publications, but they are too few in comparison to liberal publications. We do have some very fine conservative organizations such as the Cato Institute, the Heritage Foundation, and Hillsdale College, but they too do not have enough channels to get their information out to the public en masse.

Mark Levin’s monumental new book, Liberty and Tyranny, contains the best information to date on why capitalism is so superior to socialism. We need to get this type of information out to the masses.

In essence, conservative capitalists need an organization with mega-money and the expertise to compete with the organized efforts of the liberal socialists. This must include getting the message of the conservative talk show hosts and conservative organizations out to 100% of the public.”

Like anything else, it’s always good to check them out first, before you jump into and then if it conforms to your political beliefs-go for it!

I will definitely see where they stand on globalization, NAFTA and industry jobs for Americans, before I support them on my blog. I like their anti-illegal immigrant agendas though.

After the Healthcare Fiasco; how bad a pickle is President Obama’s presidency in? Obama’s presidential undoings are his and Democrats' to blame, not the opposition.

"Former President Bill Clinton was known as “slick Willie,” and it looks like the one we’ve got now, might be known as “slippery Obama.” He’s got a long way to go before reaching that “Honest Abe” label."

When presidential candidate, then Senator Barack Obama ran for the U.S. presidency, he promised Americans something very unique, something that no other candidates offered at the time, and that was “change and hope.”

When he ran last year, even though he had left leaning roots, he definitely piqued my interest.

Even though I was very critical of him at times, with his Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s problems, and with extremists like the Nation of Islam and the Black Panthers supporting him, I liked what he spoke.

I definitely liked him over John McCain; McCain had nothing new to ad into the growing problems that we were facing economically, and from what was the norm in Washington D.C.

One key language that Obama spoke about a whole lot was his disdain for lobbyists, special interests, and cronyisms that were the constant decay in Washington politics.

He was going to change all that, he was going to bring politics back to the people; politics as usual in D.C. was going to end in a miserable death when he takes office.

A sign of something going wrong:

But when he won the presidency, he immediately brought in over a dozen current and former lobbyists into his White House. He had said in his own words, that there will never be any lobbyists working for the Obama White House.

Unfortunately, that was the first Obama presidential lie, and he got away with it mainly because the mainstream press and his loyalists on the TV networks didn’t press on the issue.

Even though we were going through an economical crisis, most Americans did NOT support any bank bailouts. President Obama and his Democrats and some fellow Republican followers’ went against the more popular decision.

Then again came the 800 billion dollars stimulus, we stood by and watched while our deficit skyrocketed to an all time high.

But then came about his Trade and Cap, another special interest laden government expenditures bill. Fortunately for all of us, this bill was put in the backburner.

And now with this healthcare bill, we’re now discovering that this bill is laden with public moneys to finance Obama and his Democratic friends by cutting deals with the biggest drug makers, labor unions like the SEIU, and other “special interests groups” all contingent on the bill passing congress.

That explains as to why Obama was in a rush to pass this bill, right before congress’ summer break. It was to pass a bill, like pulling “wool over our eyes.”

On every issue so far that President Obama has had his hands into, were all contradictory to what he had said during his campaign for president. Every single proposed doling outs of taxpayer moneys were in one way or other benefitting special interests, those who had benefited him and his party financially.

Attacking Obama on his issues flaws and on his character about not being able to keep his campaign promises is the best way to go, accusing him as a Nazi, or comparing him to Adolph Hitler or any other means is just wrong.

Even though President Obama has taken his first licking in office, he seems to be backing off from his crown jewel, public health for the 46 or so millions uninsured.

If President Obama wants to recover his sinking reputation, he’ll need to “change” drastically. He needs to be the leader he promised to be. He needs to support popular, majority and populist views rather than pander to minority and special interest groups.

But so far, I believe that Americans have seen and heard enough of Obama within the last 8 months, which they will vote to bring balance in congress during the 2010 midterms. Americans are realizing that after the Republican fiascos, and now with the Democrats, one party controlling all of the marbles, might not be the best thing to do.

It’s something I wrote about 18 months ago. I got an email today from an avid reader calling me Right as Rain. He had read my piece 18 months ago on Obama, I had no idea that someone would be reading the Marc Chamot Report for that long, and it’s simply amazing. He said that I was absolutely right on the turn of events.

President Obama needs to come clean with the American people on future issues, and these slippery backroom deals with unions and other special interest groups need to come to an end.

He also needs to stop suppressing freedom of speech on opposing views.

And he needs to tell his Internet cohorts to stop messing around with opposition’s blogs and websites. They need to stop screwing around with the search engines links to their stories.

These are the kind of things that presidential candidate Barack Obama had promised to end; but instead the stench of corruption emanating out of Washington D.C. is so overwhelming, not even 1 million bottles of French perfume or nose plugs can help.

Here is just another reason as to why congress’ reputation has gone to the dogs, or is in the dumps.

Democrat Trial Lawyers want $1.6 billion of their Own Bailout:

Trial lawyers lobby want their own tax break in a form of a bailout. In exchange of money that they have given to politicians since 1990, they want their dues owed in return.

Most are Democrat lawyers; they want a bailout just for themselves, and a total of $1.6 billion.

They will try to attach this travesty unto another bill. “The bill is waiting to be tucked into another bill,” said former Republican turned Democrat, Senator Arlen Specter, and the bill’s author. A recipient of $309,000 from lawyers himself, introduced it in February when he turned Democrat.

Specter’s bill S 437, would more than repay the legal industry for its $762 million in political contributions to Democrats over the last 20 years. It means that taxpayers would be funding Democrat’s campaigns through recycled and funneled moneys for its parties’ interests.

In the National Law Journal’s, their 2008 Plaintiffs Hot List, shows that in the first six months of 2009, the top 15 law firms and their employees have contributed $636,305 to federal politicians, PACS and other Democrat causes. ONLY $4,875 of that money went to Republicans, 99 percent of trial lawyer’s moneys go for Democratic causes.

The corruption never ends:

Like Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, D-Nevada, had collected a whopping $978,000 from the legal industry between January and June!

Source Examiner.com, Read Full Story Here: Trial lawyers gun for their own loophole and federal bailout
By: David Freddoso August 17, 2009

Tough economic times are usually no problem for trial lawyers. Pain, suffering and liability abound even in a bad economy. Vioxx, defective products, bad hip-replacement joints, video games that “cause” violence, perhaps even foods that “make” people fat — you name it.

Even so, the trial lawyer lobby is looking for a bailout of sorts. In exchange for the money that the legal profession has contributed to lawmakers since 1990 — the vast majority of it to Democrats — trial lawyers are gunning for a tax break that applies only to them, worth some $1.6 billion.

Their top lobbyist, Linda Lipsen of the American Association for Justice, remarked at a recent conference in San Francisco that the provision will have to be attached to another bill.“You cannot have a stand-alone bill to help lawyers,” she explained, “so we have to tuck it into something.”

Are Dems Losing the Battle Over Public Option?
Bipartisan Health Care Reform Could Mean Losing Key Democrat-Backed Provisions

Whether the anger expressed at town halls is real, manufactured or, as Sen. Arlen Specter said today on ABC's "This Week," "not really representative of America," it is clear that many Americans are apprehensive about what a health care overhaul means for them.

This Sunday, Team Obama attempted to allay Americans' fears, but also backed away from whether a final health care reform bill had to include a "public option", which has become a sticking point in bipartisan cooperation over health reform.

President Obama has stressed the need for a public option, envisioned as a government-run health insurance system that would provide affordable health insurance to almost 50 million uninsured Americans, and cause private insurers to lower their costs in order to compete. Critics say it would lead to a government takeover of health care, undercut the private insurance market, and lead to government rationing of health care.

“Are search engines colluding with President Obama on healthcare? I’m now seeing the same trends happening on the Net, just as when candidate Barack Obama was running for president last year.”

UPDATE: Well, I'll be darn, I was right! Just as I thought, Campaign tactics back as Obama presses health care By LIZ SIDOTI, Associated Press Writer – 50 mins ago

"BIG SKY, Mont. – President Barack Obama is using political tactics and rhetorical devices honed in his White House campaign to regain the upper hand in the health care debate over increasingly vocal and organized critics.

In person and over the Internet, Obama is trying to counter intense public skepticism over Democratic plans to overhaul the health care system. It's his top domestic priority and arguably his most challenging political fight yet.

Familiar tools from the Obama candidacy include the town hall meetings where he rolls up his sleeves and discards his tie and jacket; a rapid-response Web site to counter critics' claims; and a populist pitch against the entrenched powers in Washington.

Plus he's got the bully pulpit, which he used Saturday."

As we suspected it were the case, President Barack Obama finally admitted that taxes will go up to cover the 46 million uninsured.

Yesterday, in Belgrade, Montana, while trying to lower the heat on his healthcare fight, while criticizing the media, for giving these angry town halls protests news time, Obama got a pointed question from Randy Rathie “you can’t tell us how you’re going to pay for this,” of Obama’s healthcare plan. "The only way you’re going to get that money is raise our taxes.”

Obama’s reply: “you’re absolutely RIGHT; I can’t cover another 46 million people for FREE, we’re going to find the money from somewhere.”

This story made the Associated Press yesterday, but somehow the general media did not put it in print. While using Google and Bing searches, it’s nowhere being mentioned on the Net.

Well, not exactly, the San Francisco Chronicle buried it on page four, with a five paragraph mention of it in their first section of their newspaper.

So the press and search engines folded like a tent to Barack Obama. Would search engines like Google risk their credibility over this issue? Let’s wait and see.

If you folks are unsure as whom some of these 46 million uninsured are, revert back to my original story. Truths behind President Obama’s & Democrats Healthcare Reforms they don’t want you to know:

“New figures are out, and the American Hispanic and Latino communities on the average are the lowest wage earners, and the poorest of all races in the United States.Out of the 47 million uninsured Americans, 15 million of them are Hispanics without any healthcare and insurance, they make up about 34% of the Latino population in the United States.

The Latino communities are the largest minority group, and are usually the most who neglect to get their health insurance coverages for their families.But the real truth of the matter, it’s not that they are neglecting insurance because they can’t afford it. It’s because it’s not within their priorities to buy health insurances, they prefer to send their hard earned cash abroad, and instead of spending it for their health betterments.

This is not in their nature to buy insurance or keep any insurance, Barack Obama and his Democratic cronies know that, so they want us to finance it for them.The Latino communities and their elected Hispanic politicians are putting undue pressure on congress, and this president to pass some sort of a socialist healthcare for these people.

For example Latino congressman Xavier Becerra and Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar have said that, “this REFORM would benefit all Latinos mainly, too many don’t have proper healthcare and, or are coming pretty close to losing it. Those who can afford it are paying exaggerated amounts.”

Campaign tactics back as Obama presses health care
By LIZ SIDOTI, Associated Press Writer – 50 mins ago

BIG SKY, Mont. – President Barack Obama is using political tactics and rhetorical devices honed in his White House campaign to regain the upper hand in the health care debate over increasingly vocal and organized critics.

In person and over the Internet, Obama is trying to counter intense public skepticism over Democratic plans to overhaul the health care system. It's his top domestic priority and arguably his most challenging political fight yet.

Familiar tools from the Obama candidacy include the town hall meetings where he rolls up his sleeves and discards his tie and jacket; a rapid-response Web site to counter critics' claims; and a populist pitch against the entrenched powers in Washington.

Plus he's got the bully pulpit, which he used Saturday.

"I know there's plenty of real concern and skepticism out there," he said in his weekly radio and Internet address. "I know that in a time of economic upheaval, the idea of change can be unsettling, and I know that there are folks who believe that government should have no role at all in solving our problems."

Carefully trying not to alienate opponents even while taking them on, he cited "legitimate differences worthy of the real discussion that America deserves." But as Democratic allies face taunts and insults at town hall style gatherings, Obama asked his audience to "lower our voices, listen to one another and talk about differences that really exist."

In the GOP's address, Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch pressed for a bipartisan solution.

"Ensuring access to affordable and quality health care for every American is not a Republican or Democrat issue — it is an American issue," he said.
He said he also encourages a respectful debate, but "there is nothing un-American about disagreements. In fact, our great nation was founded on speaking our minds."

Obama seeks legislation that would provide coverage for millions of uninsured people while controlling costs. Critics say proposals in Congress would spend too much and give government too big a role.

Conservative activists and Obama opponents have stepped up their attacks in recent weeks — and may be outmaneuvering a White House known for its organizational abilities.

In campaign mode, Obama is hosting question-and-answer sessions that proved valuable during the presidential race. The Democratic National Committee and Obama's allies are spending millions on advertising campaigns to influence public opinion, much like they did last year. Associates are going out to make the case. The White House is using Internet tools honed during his groundbreaking bid to rally supporters.

Obama is trying to energize his estimated 13 million grass-roots supporters through his campaign apparatus, called Organizing for America. But there are indications that those who turned out in to help elect Obama aren't doing the same to get a policy passed — evidence of the difficulty in the transition from campaigning to governing.

In Pittsburgh, Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett told liberal bloggers Saturday at a conference that the president can't accomplish his goal without them. "I cannot say to you how strongly we depend upon you and your outreach and your network to energize people who are on the ground, not just for health care, but for all the tough issues that are lying ahead," she said.

Earlier in the week, White House senior adviser David Axelrod asked supporters to forward a chain e-mail to counter criticism circulating online. The White House also began a "Reality Check" Web site "to help Americans clear up health care lies and misinformation."

Those efforts were reminiscent of the Obama team's attempts during the 2008 campaign to debunk Internet rumors about his faith and upbringing.
The DNC has created a Web video — "What You Won't See on National Cable News" — to highlight civil town hall meetings, and Obama also plans to speak to backers by telephone during a health care event Wednesday.

Over the past week, he's fielded questions from audiences in Portsmouth, N.H., and Belgrade, Mont., and scheduled an event Saturday in Grand Junction, Colo., during his family's tour of national parks. Thus far, he's faced polite crowds, a stark contrast to the taunts and jeers that Democratic lawmakers have endured at similar sessions during their August break.

Hours before the Colorado event, several hundred people gathered at a park to listen as a series of speakers criticized Obama's approach.
Much like in the campaign, Obama's using people's stories to illustrate his points and asking supporters to "rise to this moment" and get the job done.

Obama says taxes will pay for health care
Liz Sidot, Associated Press
Saturday, August 15, 2009

Trying to lower the heat of the health care fight Friday, President Obama denounced media emphasis on angry protests at town hall meetings.

Fielding polite but occasionally tough questions, Obama pitched his overhaul plan to a crowd in an airport hangar near Bozeman.

While hundreds demonstrated outside, Obama got a pointed question from Randy Rathie, a self-described member of the National Rifle Association.

"You can't tell us how you're going to pay for this," Rathie said of Obama's health care plan. "The only way you're going to get that money is raise our taxes."

"You are absolutely right," Obama said. "I can't cover another 46 million people for free. We're going to have to find money from somewhere."

Booting China from WTO? Special Panels Says China is Gross Violator of WTO’s Free Trade Agreements & refuse to relax Restrictions on American Imports:

Booting China from WTO? Special Panels Says China is Gross Violator of WTO’s Free Trade Agreements & refuse to relax Restrictions on American Imports:
By Marc Chamot & Source: SF Chronicle

The United States won a wide-range of rulings against restrictive Chinese trade practices, in favor for boosting our future exports into China.

This special panel found that China has acted inconsistently with provisions of the agreement it made with all its WTO members, when former President George Bush pushed for their membership into the organization back in 2001. They also are in violation of the General Agreement on Trade in Services, the General Agreement on Tariffs, which governs “Fair Trade Practices” amongst its members.

This is big for the United States, because president Obama is being pressed to get tougher on trade rules with China, which many in congress, mainly Democrats, and including this blogger, BLAME for Americas’ soaring trade deficits and lost manufacturing jobs.

But instead of us doing it by exerting our economical strengths and influences over China, we’ve got to go to Geneva, and let the WTO, World Trade Organization members do it.

But the problem I have with it; this is another sad case of American politics. Politicians who don’t have the real cohunes to deal with China on trade issues.

Are our politicians going to do something about China, mainly the Republicans, they were the ones who allowed these manufactories to escape this country in droves.

This case goes to the heart of the larger dispute on China and its rapid rise as a world trade power and exporter, while achieving all of these feats; they did it by protecting its own markets from foreign imports, primarily those from the United States.

Despite the panel’s decision, China still refuses to budge from its restrictive imports policies.

But you know what folks?

Washington politicians may look dumb, may act dumb, they may have no guts, and do dumb things, but the truths is that they know what has been killing America’s and the world’s economy, it’s been China all along.

They are finally seeing the bigger picture, I’m a blogger, so are many others, we’re not rocket scientists, but we’re a whole lot smarter than that pandering bunches on the hill.

Trade ruling could help U.S. companies in China

The United States has won a wide-ranging ruling against Chinese trade practices that could provide huge market opportunities for American makers of everything from CDs and DVDs to music downloads and books.

The verdict released Wednesday at the World Trade Organization in Geneva finds definitively against China for forcing American media producers to route their business in China through Chinese state-owned companies.

The WTO victory comes as President Obama is being pressed to be tough on trade rules with China, which many Democrats in Congress blame for America's soaring trade deficits and lost manufacturing jobs. The case is sensitive also for the Chinese government, which asserts the right to keep out content it finds objectionable.

The case goes to the heart of the larger dispute over China and its rapid rise as a trade power and exporter, with some of its economic partners believing it has achieved its position in part by protecting its own market.

The 464-page document revealed dozens of smaller decisions that support the complaints of trade associations representing record labels, publishers and Hollywood studios.

It also offers hopes of greater business for Apple Inc.'s iTunes store, finding that China was breaking trade rules by preventing companies offering music downloads to computers and mobile phones from offering their services directly to Chinese customers.

The Chinese Commerce Ministry could not immediately be reached, but U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk called the ruling a "significant victory to America's creative industries."
"These findings are an important step toward ensuring market access for legitimate U.S. products in the Chinese market, as well as ensuring market access for U.S. exporters and distributors of those products," Kirk said in a statement.

The panel found that "China has acted inconsistently with provisions" of the agreement it made with all WTO members when it joined the global trade body in 2001, as well as the General Agreement on Trade in Services and General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade that governs trade between all WTO members.

Despite the looming WTO decision, there have been no indications in China of an internal debate on the issue of relaxing restrictions on imports. This is an extremely sensitive issued for the ruling Communist Party, which seeks to keep out content deemed politically or socially objectionable, as well as to protect Chinese filmmakers and other content producers from foreign competition.

However, China has committed itself to the WTO process, so there's little chance that a verdict can be completely ignored.

Angry Americans Uprisings: Democratic Party’s Meltdown; has the New American Revolution Just Begun?

Angry Americans Uprisings: Democratic Party’s Meltdown; has the New American Revolution Just Begun?
By Marc Chamot

Angry Americans are uprising all over.

Okay folks, Obama and his Democrats got what they bargained for.

This is exactly what happens to any government that is run ONLY for special interests, rather than for the people.

When President Obama was running for the highest office of the land, I had warned, that this country wouldn’t be able to handle going from a right of center, to far right governance of George Bush, and then to far left policies of Barack Obama.

I had warned in my blogs that someday, by electing Obama it would bring about these kinds of chaos.

If I had ever seen a complete political meltdown, then the Democrats are it. They are now taking the brunt of American anger and disdains, over years of both parties’ failed policies.

This seething anger is not only about the healthcare issue; it’s about a whole lot of other issues that have left Americans seething for the past years.

Then again we had the ever arrogant Nancy Pelosi calling opponents who are angrily voicing their opinions at these political-fist-fests as Un-American.

Of course, Nancy Pelosi has just earned herself from this blogger, the title of what the real Witch of the West is all about.

She doesn’t only look the part of a wicked witch, she smells the part; she is as nasty and wicked as any cruel witch can be, and she’s from San Francisco’s Western part of the states.

This is exactly what a political party on a complete meltdown looks like. The party’s being shaken and tormented by angry mobs of folks around the nation.

These Washington politicians are still unaware, or just too ignorant to realize from where it’s all coming from.

They are calling folks names, like Astroturf, KKK, Republican organizers, and “bused in trouble makers,” buses are something that Democrats know all to well, and so on.

They’re witnessing the collapse of their party right in front of their eyes.

And now President Obama is taking actions against opposing voices, on this tragically and ill conceived healthcare plan.

Obama says health care critics use 'scare tactics'

"Braced for a fight he never got, President Barack Obama went on the offensive in support of his health care plan Tuesday, urging a town hall audience not to listen to those who seek to "scare and mislead the American people."

"For all the scare tactics out there, what is truly scary is if we do nothing," Obama told a friendly crowd of about 1,800 in a high school auditorium and a nationwide audience watching on cable television.

The White House had been ready for an unruly reception from opponents of overhauling health care.

Obama's push came amid a string of disruptive health care town halls nationwide that have overshadowed his message and threatened to derail support in Congress. Indeed, Republican-turned-Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter faced hostile questions, taunts and jeers earlier Tuesday as he tried to explain his positions at a town hall in Lebanon, Pa. Voter fears of a government takeover of health care were on stark display.

Some lawmakers, holding forums during Congress' August recess, have gone so far as to replace public forums with teleconferences or step up security to keep protesters at bay."

For a president who offered so much hope and change for people, he failed to live up to his words, now Americans are seeing despair and politics as usual in D.C.

With records unemployment’s and with an $800 Billion dollars stimulus package that may have gone bust. Billions of dollars bank bailouts, moneys that are not slowing or helping folks from losing their homes.

If that weren’t enough for President Obama, he now had to drop his immigration issues until 2010. Just another unfulfilled campaign promise.

All of this shows that the American people have had enough of these lawless and asinine, inept Washington politicians.

Change on immigration will wait till 2010, Obama says: Policy must include chance for citizenship, president says.
LOS ANGELES TIMES

"GUADALAJARA, Jalisco — Locked in a health care debate that is claiming much of his energy, President Barack Obama acknowledged Monday that a push to overhaul the U.S. immigration system would have to wait until 2010.

Obama suggested that it would be too ambitious to aim for a bill addressing such concerns as illegal immigration before the end of the year, at a time when he will be confronting "a pretty big stack of bills."
As a candidate, Obama said in July 2008 that he would make immigration "a top priority in my first year as president." But the economic crisis and realities of governing appear to have forced him to re-examine how best to roll out his agenda."

Thank God that I’m not going to be witnessing the Obama amnesty program for illegal aliens this year.

And then there’s that Hillary Clinton’s unraveling in Congo, Lost in translation: Hillary Clinton loses her cool in Congo “Secretary of State Hillary Clinton snapped at a university student during a town hall-style meeting in the Congolese capital of Kinshasa on Monday. A translator erroneously made it sound as if the student wanted to know what her husband, former President Bill Clinton, thought about a foreign policy issue.

"You want me to tell you what my husband thinks? If you want my opinion, I will tell you my opinion, I am not going to be channeling my husband," Clinton said. "My husband is not secretary of state, I am."

It’s obvious that this Democratic Party is right now, a party in disarray and cannot handle negative publicities’ and public pressures for them to do their cotton picking jobs right.

Health care debate degenerates into brawls, death threats
WASHINGTON -- Around the country, the debate over overhauling the nation's health care system has grown increasingly bitter and more divisive.

From Connecticut to California, angry demonstrators opposed to health care reform have disrupted recent town hall meetings held by congressional Democrats. They attack lawmakers for backing a "socialist agenda," shout questions without waiting for answers and repeat misinformation as fact, in some cases even accusing Democrats of favoring mandatory euthanasia for senior citizens.

On Friday, a Democratic lawmaker from Washington received a faxed death threat a day after he described angry town hall demonstrators as "a lynch mob." Rep. Brian Baird of Washington, who supports President Barack Obama's push to overhaul the health care system, said that he also received threatening phone calls. He canceled the rest of the town halls he'd scheduled during Congress' August recess.

A few Democratic congressional offices also have received threats connected to the health care debate. The U.S. Capitol Police has advised all of them to cancel their town halls.

"President Obama underestimated the free-fall the nation had already taken in partisan hostility when he talked about bringing change to Washington," said Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., who supports reform. "It has gotten worse. There is something at play here that is indescribable."
The demonstrations have grown more unruly. Six people were arrested Thursday after a forum on aging in St. Louis held by Democratic Rep. Russ Carnahan drew an overflow crowd of health overhaul opponents and backers who came to counter them.

In recent weeks, demonstrators in Maryland hung in effigy a Democratic congressman who backs an overhaul, and in Texas opponents erected a tombstone with the name of another. Police in New York had to escort a Democratic House of Representatives member to his car after a raucous town hall meeting on health care.

Congressional switchboards are lighting up, as well. Democratic and Republican offices both report a high volume of calls opposing an overhaul, and some Democrats have decided not to hold any public meetings during the recess because of the overheated atmosphere.
Aides to Republican members said the callers were generally polite, but worried.

"Lots of people are happy with their coverage and really don't want government meddling in their health," said Wendy Knox, a spokeswoman for Republican Todd Tiahrt of Kansas.
Democratic aides, however, said the callers are usually combative, often use profanity and accuse the lawmaker's staff of lying to them.

"They are much more aggressive, much more hostile," said Rebecca Black, a spokeswoman for Rep. Dennis Moore, a Kansas Democrat.

"I don't agree with people cussing them," said Bob Ballard, an organizer with Kansas City Tea Party, a conservative activist group involved in the protests. "I do believe people get very passionate, but passion and vulgarity are two different things."

So are facts and allegations. In calls to lawmakers and at the town halls, opponents charge, among other things, that proposed legislation would force them to lose their own insurance even if they're satisfied with it, or require euthanasia for seniors.

Neither is true, according to FactCheck.org, a nonprofit, nonpartisan watchdog project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania.

Republican congressional leaders point to the angry protests as signs that the public opposes Democratic plans to overhaul health care.

Whether the protests reflect a growing segment of voters upset over everything from the economic stimulus package to the auto bailout and now a $1 trillion overhaul of the health care industry, or just a narrow but very vocal minority magnified by the media - especially talk radio - the Internet and cable television, is unclear.

Recent polls, however, have found that public support for both the president and a health care overhaul has been slipping.

"Democrats are in denial," Republican House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio said last week. "Instead of acknowledging the widespread anger millions of Americans are feeling this summer . ... Democrats are trying to dismiss it as a fabrication."

Backers of the protests include a variety of conservative activist groups, including the Tea Party movement, which grew out of protests earlier this year against Obama's $787 billion stimulus package. Some of their Web sites list every upcoming congressional town hall in the country held by lawmakers from both parties.

Democrats charge that the demonstrators are organized and scripted. They point to a memo widely available on the Internet called "Rocking the Town Halls," whose tactics - "Watch for an opportunity to yell out and challenge the Rep's statements early" - has been used at demonstrations around the country.

Ballard denied that the town hall protests were coordinated.

"We're a bunch of common people doing this, just a bunch of regular Joes who are concerned about what's going on in Washington," he said. "We don't guide our people to ask certain questions. We're not going to direct their speech. The First Amendment is of the utmost importance to us."

Angry Americans disrupt town-hall healthcare talks
By Matthew Bigg and Nick Carey

BOILING SPRINGS, S.C./OCONTO FALLS, Wisc. (Reuters) - At scattered events across the United States, protesters are confronting members of Congress whose summer "town hall" meetings aim to get a sense of how Americans feel about overhauling healthcare.

Boiling Springs in South Carolina -- population 4,500 -- was true to its name on Thursday, giving U.S. Representative Bob Inglis a taste of rising anger among conservative voters toward President Barack Obama's reform plan.

"There is no way, shape or form we need to have a national healthcare system. No! Nothing! None! It's got to stop now," said one man who addressed the audience of 300 people to sustained applause.

The plans seek to provide coverage to nearly 46 million uninsured Americans and bring down healthcare costs.

Conservatives say they will lead to a nationalized healthcare system where government, rather than doctors, will make medical decisions. They say the plans will end up costing them more and boost the federal deficit.

With lawmakers gone from Washington for a month and much of the plans still to be drafted, the rancorous battle has spread to usually staid, relaxed town hall meetings.

A chorus of people in the audience heckled, shouted down and interrupted Inglis, a Republican, even as he tried to explain why he opposed the plans put forward by Obama, a Democrat who became president six months ago.

"MAINSTREAM AMERICA"
"I consider myself just an average American but there is not a day or a week that goes by that I don't hear talk about revolution in our country because (of) the government," said a man who called himself a "conservative, mainstream American."

"We (the United States under Obama) have gone so far out of the Constitution," he said to a standing ovation.

Other speakers asked about "martial law" and "forced vaccinations" and when the topic turned to illegal immigrants in the Bible Belt town, someone shouted: "Bus them home."

Last week, a crowd in Philadelphia directed boos at Obama's Health and Human Services secretary, Kathleen Sibelius, and Democratic Senator Arlen Specter.

Protesters disrupted another meeting on Thursday in Tampa, Florida, with cries of "tyranny," and police made arrests at a similar meeting in St. Louis, Missouri.

Opinion polls show that many Americans feel the U.S. healthcare system, the costliest in the world, is in need of reform. They also show millions of Americans with health insurance are satisfied with it.

A group called the Tea Party protesters -- named for the Boston tax revolt that helped spark the American Revolution -- has launched a campaign to disrupt Democratic town hall meetings on healthcare.

"Public opinion is the only way the Republicans can stop this," said James Ceaser, a political science professor at the University of Virginia. "They need to check Obama's momentum."

"COSTS OUT OF CONTROL"
Around a thousand miles northwest of Boiling Springs -- in Oconto Falls, Wisconsin -- the mood was different. Vic Bast, 86, a World War Two fighter pilot and retired school principal, attended a meeting with Democratic Congressman Steve Kagen.

"I'm a veteran, so I have good healthcare. But my daughter has just retired and she has to pay $1,000 a month in premiums," Bast said. "Healthcare costs are getting out of control. I don't know if this bill will pass, but something must be done."

"We are engaged in the most critical debate in our country in this century," Kagen told Reuters after meeting around 50 constituents in the dairy farming community of around 2,800.
"We don't have an option, we have to reform or this country will go broke," he said, but added: "People in my district are afraid of what they don't know, which is why I'm here."

Kagen's district tends to vote Republican and he is the target of radio advertisements attacking his policies in an attempt to undermine support for his reelection bid in 2010.

In Boiling Springs, Inglis was repeatedly interrupted when he said government could in some cases play a positive role in people's lives -- a sign that conservative anger could potentially threaten some Republicans as well as Democrats.

A few people waved pink slips to suggest he should lose his job and a banner read: "Inglis loves big government."

Aides praised Inglis for standing his ground. The lawmaker later told Reuters the mood at one town hall meeting did not reflect the entire district.

"Fear is driving people to the extremes," he said. "Tonight we had people that are very fearful about President Obama and very distrustful of him as a person and his agenda."

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs urged that people go on discussing the issues but without the rancor.

"It's important that people be civil. We can discuss these issues without being uncivilized. It's the same thing I tell my 6-year-old," he told reporters on Friday.

Truths behind President Obama’s & Democrats Healthcare Reforms they don’t want you to know:
By Marc Chamot

What Obama and his cohorts don’t want you to know about his health plan reforms.

Who are the key players and pushers behind these “whacko” Obama healthcare reforms? Believe it or not folks, it’s the Latino, and Hispanic communities and their congressional representatives.

Do you all remember when, then candidate Obama’s promises to the Hispanic communities amnesties for undocumented aliens, in return for their votes?

His love for illegal aliens goes much deeper than that. It looks like President Obama won’t be able to deliver that amnesty as promised, but not to let the Latino community totally down, he’s aggressively working for his healthcare program.

Why, because new figures are out, and the American Hispanic, and Latino communities on the average are the lowest wage earners, and the poorest of all races in the United States.

Out of the 47 million uninsured Americans, 15 million of them are Hispanics without any healthcare and insurance, they make up about 34% of the Latino population in the United States. The Latino communities are the largest minority group, and are usually the most who neglect to get their health insurance coverages for their families.

But the real truth of the matter, it’s not that they are neglecting insurance because they can’t afford it. It’s because it’s not within their priorities to buy health insurances, they prefer to send their hard earned cash abroad, and instead of spending it for their health betterments. This is not in their nature to buy insurance or keep any insurance, Barack Obama and his Democratic cronies know that, so they want us to finance it for them.

The Latino communities and their elected Hispanic politicians are putting undue pressure on congress, and this president to pass some sort of a socialist healthcare for these people.

For example Latino congressman Xavier Becerra and Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar have said that, “this REFORM would benefit all Latinos mainly, too many don’t have proper healthcare and, or are coming pretty close to losing it. Those who can afford it are paying exaggerated amounts.”

But let me explain once again, as to why the Latinos are considered the lowest wage earners and among America’s poorest. It’s more of their own doing. First, it’s because they accept jobs at lower wages than any Americans would do. The other reason is that migrant Latinos in general REFUSE to learn English and to better their skills. Those are the hard cold facts.

It’s not only the Latino immigrants; it’s also the Chinese immigrants that have been flooding into this nation for decades. I just cannot fathom; seeing thousands of elderly Chinese people, who cannot speak English lining up in San Francisco welfare lines. How in the heck did they ever get here in the first place? It’s obvious they were never qualified to enter this country, but somehow they did, and they are now putting strains on our welfare systems.

But here is the real skinny folk, Latinos aren’t the only ones in the boat with problematic healthcares and insurance costs, we have got millions of African Americans and whites who have the same problem as they do.

The problem with President Obama’s healthcare is once again, for obligating billions to over a trillion dollars from taxpayers, to finance healthcare for millions of none U.S. citizens and for those with Green Cards.

If Green Card holders are allowed to come here, and work here, they better have a job and can afford their own healthcare or otherwise we should give them the boot.

The Obama healthcare plan is a proposed government Marxist healthcare plan, run by the government. And this government hasn’t shown that they can run things; not even this country properly. They’ve run this country down to the ground. This plan is laden with costly subsidies for the poor none citizens that will break our nation’s banks.

We, as Americans, and taxpayers are under no obligation to finance foreign transplants that cannot work or afford to live in this country.

In other words, healthcare reform should ONLY benefit American citizens, not immigrants of Green Cards, or others, if these immigrants cannot work and afford healthcare on their OWN, they should be booted out of the country.

These are the folks that President Barack Obama wants YOU to pay for their medical costs.

Obama’s plan along with his Latino congress cronies want to change Medicaid and Medicare; to allow every one to receive it, other than just qualified Americans and some Green Card holders.

They want the run-in-the-mill uneducated, poor, and unskilled immigrants that should have never been allowed to come into this country in the first place and receive them also. Those are COSTS that Americans cannot afford.

In essence folks; Barack Obama is using the healthcare reforms to change everything, including, Medicaid, Medicare, premium systems to help most of these poor and the mainly undocumented aliens in this country. As of now, any undocumented person is not qualified for any of these premium American benefits.

Basically all of this translates to LOW cost medical benefits for ALL, mainly at taxpayer’s expense, instead of pushing the medical and drug industries to lower their costs and wastes. I would rather see our government go this way, pushing for lower costs like Canada and Mexico have done, but with this President Obama and his Democrats, they still believe in that bottomless “taxpayer money tree.” If California’s woes weren’t a lesson, I wouldn’t know what is.

Say no to all this lunacy!

Flag@whitehouse.gov, Obama’s White House: “I Want you to be my Net Snitch.”

"It looks like that our prez’s White House is now looking for Internet snitches.What I’m wondering out loud is what can he/they do about it? Well, to us exactly?And secondly, the snitching is supposed to be on Internet emails and blog postings on the positives, and misrepresentations on his struggling healthcare reforms, and to what will this lead to next?"
