Subject: HR 4646
This was sent out earlier & quite frankly I forgot about this bill because I thought it would be dumped, evidently it has not been yet. This must not be passed, it also leaves a trail of where your $ comes from.



ON JANUARY 1, 2013, THE US

GOVERNMENT WILL BE REQUIRING EVERYONE TO HAVE DIRECT DEPOSIT

FOR SS CHECKS.

WONDER

WHY?

Subject:

HR

4646

Be

sure to read entire explanation

Watch

for this AFTER November elections; remember

this BEFORE you VOTE, in case you think Obama is looking out

for your best interest.

A

1% tax on ALL bank transactions is what HR 4646

calls for.

Do

you receive a paycheck, or a retirement check from Social

Security or a pension fund and have it direct deposited?



Well

guess what. It looks as if Obama

wants to tax it 1% !

This

bill was put forth by Rep.

Chaka Fattah (D-PA).

YES,

that is 1% tax on all bank transactions - HR

4646, every time it goes in and every time

money goes out.

Ask

your congressperson to vote NO.

FORWARD

THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!

1% tax on all bank

transactions ~ HR 4646 –

ANOTHER

NEW OBAMA TAX SLIPPED IN WHILE WE WERE ASLEEP.
Checked this on snopes, it's true!

Check it out yourself ~ HR 4646.
President

Obama's finance team is recommending a one percent (1%)

transaction fee (TAX).
Obama's plan is to sneak it in after

the November elections to keep it under the radar.

This

is a 1% tax on all transactions at any financial institution -

banks, credit unions, savings and loans, etc. Any deposit you

make, or even a transfer within your own bank from one account

to another will

have a 1% tax charged.

If

your paycheck or your Social Security or whatever is direct

deposited, it

will get a 1%

tax charged for the transaction.

If

your paycheck is $1000, then you will pay Obama $10 just for

the privilege of depositing your paycheck in your bank.



Even

if you hand carry your paycheck or any check in to your bank

for a deposit, 1%

tax will be charged.

You

receive a $5,000 stock dividend from your broker,

Obama

takes $50 just to allow you to deposit that check in the

bank.

If you take $1,000 cash to deposit at your bank,

1%

tax will be charged.

Mind

you, this is from the man who promised that, if you make under

$250,000 per year, you will not see one penny of new tax.



Keep

your eyes and ears open, you will be amazed at what you learn

about this guy's under-the-table moves to increase the number

of ways you are taxed.

Oh, and by the way, if you

receive a refund from the IRS next year and you have it direct

deposited or you walk in to deposit that check, you guessed

it. You will pay a 1% charge of that money just for putting it

in your bank.

Remember,

any money, cash, check or whatever, no matter where it came

from, you

will pay a 1% fee if you put it in the bank.

Some

will say, oh well, it's just 1%. Are you kidding me? It's a 1%

tax increase across the board. Remember, once the tax is

there, they can also raise it at will. And if anyone protests,

they will just say,
"Oh,

that's not really a tax, it's a user

fee"!
Think

this is no big deal?
Go

back and look at the transactions you made from last year's

banking statements.
Then

add the total of all those transactions and deduct

1%.
Still

think it's no big deal?

The following is copied from Snopes:

My father has found out how to copy and paste stuff into facebook. I find it particularly funny he posted this as he is constantly demanding that certain things are banned, like gays, arabs, broads in the workplace, non white shoes... His family was also on welfare when he was born and the only health care he ever had was given to him through the military and medicare.

Jeff Foxworthy’s, “Which side of the fence?”

If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!

If a Republican or independent doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a Republican or independent is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a Republican or independent is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

If a Republican or independent is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a Republican or independent doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Democrats demand that those they don't like be shut down.

If a Republican or independent is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.

If a Republican or independent decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.

If a Republican or independent reads this, he'll smile.
A Democrat will delete it because he's "offended".

by Rev. Austin Miles

CHARLOTTE , North Carolina (9/11/12) When the DNC came to Charlotte ,
area churches, 100 of them, offered hospitality, not knowing how much
the Dems hate God and would actually boo God at the convention. They
had no idea how that hatred would be directed at them and their
churches.
The Sunday before the DNC, over 9000 people had come together to pray
for the convention. Then, wanting to extend hospitality to the
visitors to their city, 56 of the churches set out to
“Adopt-a-Delegation.”
They put together gift baskets featuring Carolina Pralines and a
letter welcoming them to the city and offering assistance in
transportation, childcare or spiritual matters.
According to writer, Todd Starnes, The DNC banned the churches from
distributing the gift baskets to delegates because, DNC said, the
congregations hold values that are contrary to the party platform.
Read that carefully.
David Benham, one of the organizers of the outreach said, “We were
just trying to display Southern hospitality.” DNC officials, however,
conveyed to city leaders that the Christians would not be allowed to
present their gift baskets.
Even the Charlotte Mayor’s office jumped in to tell the churches not
to participate, saying that their views on women’s rights are contrary
to the platform. That’s right….the same platform that booed God later.
Benham then asked if they could send welcome letters to the delegates.
Again, the DNC refused, because, they said, “The churches hold
pro-life values.”
The baskets did not contain a single political or pro-life message.
They just wanted to give them regional candles and a welcome letter.
The DNC refused to return numerous phone calls seeking comment.
But it gets worse. When a gathering of 200 Muslims showed up to pray
for the convention, the Dems welcomed them with open arms and the
liberal media gave extensive national coverage.
It is ironic that this day, in the shadow of that Islamic prayer
event, we commemorate the greatest tragedy in American History, when
Muslims attacked America on September 11, 2001, brutally killing
thousands.of innocent people.
Muslims who publicly state their hatred of our country with fierce
determination to kill us all and put America under Sharia Law, are
welcomed by the Democratic Party while Christians are pushed out of
sight like criminals because they respect life and hold family values.
These are the same democrats who want you to vote them into office to
direct the United States of America and every life from beginning to
end. It is obvious that we must not let this happen.
Our thanks to Rev. Ed Berkey (retired) who alerted us to this story.

Scary Obituary
In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the
University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the
Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior: "A democracy is always
temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent
form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until
the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous
gifts from the public treasury. >From that moment on, the majority
always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from
the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally
collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a
dictatorship."

"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the
beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200
years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage."
The Obituary follows:

Born 1776, Died 2012
It doesn't hurt to read this several times.
Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in
St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning
the last Presidential election:

Number of States won by: Obama: 19 McCain: 29
Square miles of land won by: Obama: 580,000 McCain: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by: Obama: 127 million McCain: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama: 13.2 McCain: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory
McCain won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens
of the country.

Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low
income tenements and living off various forms of government
welfare..."

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the
"complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of
democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population
already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.

If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million
criminal invaders called illegal's - and they vote - then we can say
goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.

If you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete this message.

If you are not, then pass this along to help everyone realize just how
much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our
freedom..

This is truly scary

Make sure you vote in November.

Isn't it amazing that,
within only one week of Tiger Woods crashing his Escalade,

the press found every woman
with whom Tiger has had an affair during the last few years?

And, they even uncovered
photos, text messages, recorded phone calls, etc.!

Furthermore, they not
only know the cause of the family fight, but they even know it was a

9 iron from his golf
bag that his wife used to break out the windows in the Escalade.

Not only that, they
know which wedge!

And, each & every
day, they were able to continue to provide America with updates

on Tiger's sex rehab
stay, his wife's divorce settlement figures, as well as the dates &

tournaments in which
he was to play.

Now, Barack Hussein
Obama has been in office for over three years, yet this very samepress:

�Cannot find any of his childhood friends or neighbors;

�Or find any of Obama's high school or college classmates;

�Or locate any of his college papers or grades;

�Or determine how he paid for both a Columbia & a Harvard
education;

�Or discover which country issued his visa to travel to Pakistan in
the 1980's;

�Or even find Michelle Obama's Princeton thesis on racism.

They just can't seem
to uncover any of this.

Yet, the public still
trusts that same press to give them the whole truth!

Don't you

This is not about PARTY, this is about the survival of AMERICA as we know it. God bless AMERICA!

What you are about to read is accurate and it is scary.



From: John Porter

To: Americans everywhere



I was sitting at my keyboard halfway through my writing a letter to you about how Barack Obama was fulfilling his pledge to "Transform America" by "Changing the fundamentals of America," so that our government would become the plantation, he the owner, and we the slaves, when this article by Steve McCann appeared in my in box. After checking it for accuracy, and finding it to be so, I put my writing on hold and here present it to you, for I could not say it better.



Obama's Second Term Transformation Plans



The 2012 election has often been described as the most pivotal since 1860.This statement is not hyperbole. If Barack Obama is re-elected the United States will never be the same, nor will it be able to re-capture its once lofty status as the most dominant nation in the history of mankind.



The overwhelming majority of Americans do not understand that Obama's first term was dedicated to putting in place executive power to enable him and the administration to fulfill the campaign promise of "transforming America " in his second term regardless of which political party controls Congress. That is why his re-election team is virtually ignoring the plight of incumbent or prospective Democratic Party office holders.



The most significant accomplishment of Obama's first term was to make Congress irrelevant. Under the myopic and blindly loyal leadership of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, the Democrats have succeeded in creating an imperial and, in a second term, a potential dictatorial presidency.



During the first two years of the Obama administration when the Democrats overwhelming controlled both Houses of Congress and the media was in an Obama worshipping stupor, a myriad of laws were passed and actions taken which transferredvirtually unlimited power to the executive branch.



The birth of multi-thousand page laws was not an aberration. This tactic was adopted so the bureaucracy controlled by Obama appointees would have sole discretion in interpreting vaguely written laws and enforcing thousands of pages of regulations they and not Congress would subsequently write.



For example, in the 2,700 pages of ObamaCare there are more than 2,500 references to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. There are more than 700 instances when he or she is instructed that they "shall" do something and more than 200 times when they "may" take at their sole discretion some form of regulatory action. On 139 occasions, the law mentions that the "Secretary determines." In essence one person, appointed by and reporting to the president, will be in charge of the health care of 310 million Americans once ObamaCare is fully operational in 2014.



The same is true in the 2,319 pages of the Dodd-Frank Financial Reform Act which confers nearly unlimited power on various agencies to control by fiat the nation's financial, banking and investment sectors. The bill also creates new agencies, such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, not subject to any oversight by Congress. This overall process was repeated numerous times with other legislation all with the intent of granting unfettered power to the executive branch controlled by Barack Obama and his radical associates.



Additionally, the Obama administration has, through its unilaterally determined rule making and regulatory powers, created laws out of whole cloth. The Environmental Protection Agency on a near daily basis issues new regulations clearly out of their purview in order to modify and change environmental laws previously passed and to impose a radical green agenda never approved by Congress. The same is true of the Energy and Interior Departments among many others.



None of these extra-constitutional actions have been challenged by Congress. The left in America knows this usurpation of power is nearly impossible to reverse unless stopped in its early stages.



It is clearly the mindset of this administration and its appointees that Congress is merely a nuisance and can be ignored after they were able to take full advantage of the useful idiots in the Democrat controlled House and Senate in 2009-2010 and the Democrat Senate in the current Congress.



Additionally, Barack Obama knows after his re-election a Republican controlled House and Senate will not be able to enact any legislation to roll back the power previously granted to the Executive Branch or usurped by them. His veto will not be overridden as there will always be at least 145 Democratic members of the House or 34 in the Senate in agreement with or intimidated by an administration more than willing to use Chicago style political tactics.



The stalemate between the Executive and Legislative Branches will inure to the benefit of Barack Obama and his fellow leftists.



The most significant power Congress has is the control of the purse-strings as all spending must be approved by them. However, once re-elected, Barack Obama, as confirmed by his willingness to do or say anything and his unscrupulous re-election tactics, would not only threaten government shutdowns but would deliberately withhold payments to those dependent on government support as a means of intimidating and forcing a Republican controlled Congress to surrender to his demands, thus neutering their ability to control the administration through spending constraints.



Further, this administration has shown contempt for the courts by ignoring various court orders, e.g. the Gulf of Mexico oil drilling moratorium, as well as stonewalling subpoenas and requests issued by Congress. The Eric Holder Justice Department has become the epitome of corruption as part of the most dishonest and deceitful administration in American history. In a second term the arrogance of Barack Obama and his minions will become more blatant as he will not have to be concerned with re-election.



Who will be there to enforce the rule of law, a Supreme Court ruling or the Constitution? No one. Barack Obama and his fellow-travelers will be unchallenged as they run roughshod over the American people.



Many Republicans and conservatives dissatisfied with the prospect of Mitt Romney as the nominee for president are insteadfocused on re-taking the House and Senate. That goal, while worthy and necessary, is meaningless unless Barack Obama is defeated . The nation is not dealing with a person of character and integrity but someone of single-minded purpose and overwhelming narcissism. Judging by his actions, words and deeds during his first term, he does not intend to work with Congress, either Republican or Democrat in his second term but rather to force his radical agenda on the American people through the power he has usurped or been granted.



The governmental structure of the United States was set up by the founders in the hope that over the years only those people of high moral character and integrity would assume the reins of power. However, knowing that was not always possible, they dispersed power over three distinct and independent branches as a check on each other.



What they could not imagine is the surrender and abdication of its constitutional duty by the preeminent governmental branch, the Congress, to a chief executive devoid of any character or integrity coupled with a judiciary essentially powerless to enforce the law when the chief executive ignores them.



Conservatives, Libertarians, the Republican Party and Mitt Romney must come to grips with this moment in time and their historical role in denying Barack Obama and his minions their ultimate goal. All resources must be directed at that end-game and not merely controlling Congress and the various committee chairmanships.



Steve McCann

May 12, 2012



I would add but 6 words to those above mentioned, Conservatives, Libertarians, the Republican Party and Mitt Romney, to say "and we the American people," must also come to grips with this moment in time and our role in denying Barack Obama his life long goal of "transforming" us into his slaves working on his government plantation.



Please forward this to all you can, maybe together we can save America for ourselves and those who will follow after us.



May God bless America,

I go this back this morning in regards to the E M I sent out yesterday this is real nice to know it sure made me have a great respect for Hobby Lobby for sure God bless them all

Love ya jerry
mam NOTE:
Just emailed HOBBY LOBBY, and asked them if this is true.......THE ANSWER I GOT BACK , WAS.... Thank you for your support.... But remember, MUSLIMS are exempt from OBUMBER CARE. I the people in this country are so STUPID...to believe the crap that is coming out of WASHINGTON ....GOD HELP US!!!!

Roger Column: Christian companies can't bow to sinful mandate By David Green When my family and I started our company 40 years ago, we were working out of a garage on a $600 bank loan, assembling miniature picture frames. Our first retail store wasn't much bigger than most people's living rooms, but we had faith that we would succeed if we lived and worked according to God's word. From there, Hobby Lobby has become one of the nation's largest arts and crafts retailers, with more than 500 locations in 41 states. Our children grew up into fine business leaders, and today we run Hobby Lobby together, as a family. We're Christians, and we run our business on Christian principles.

I've always said that the first two goals of our business are (1) to run our business in harmony with God's laws, and (2) to focus on people more than money. And that's what we've tried to do. We close early so our employees can see their families at night. We keep our stores closed on Sundays, one of the week's biggest shopping days, so that our workers and their families can enjoy a day of rest. We believe that it is by God's grace that Hobby Lobby has endured, and he has blessed us and our employees.

We've not only added jobs in a weak economy, we've raised wages for the past four years in a row. Our full-time employees start at 80% above minimum wage. But now, our government threatens to change all of that. A new government healthcare mandate says that our family business must provide what I believe are abortion-causing drugs as part of our health insurance. Being Christians, we don't pay for drugs that might cause abortions. Which means that we don't cover emergency contraception, the morning-after pill or the week-after pill. We believe doing so might end a life after the moment of conception, something that is contrary to our most important beliefs. It goes against the Biblical principles on which we have run this company since day one.

If we refuse to comply, we could face $1.3 million per day in government fines. Our government threatens to fine job creators in a bad economy. Our government threatens to fine a company that's raised wages four years running. Our government threatens to fine a family for running its business according to its beliefs.

It's not right. I know people will say we ought to follow the rules; that it's the same for everybody. But that's not true. The government has exempted thousands of companies from this mandate, for reasons of convenience or cost. But it won't exempt them for reasons of religious belief.

So, Hobby Lobby and my family are forced to make a choice. With great reluctance, we filed a lawsuit today, represented by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, asking a federal court to stop this mandate before it hurts our business. We don't like to go running into court, but we no longer have a choice. We believe people are more important than the bottom line and that honoring God is more important than turning a profit.

My family has lived the American dream. We want to continue growing our company and providing great jobs for thousands of employees, but the government is going to make that much more difficult. The government is forcing us to choose between following our faith and following the law. I say that's a choice no American and no American business should have to make. David Green is the CEO and founder of Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.

Looks like I get to add Hobby Lobby to the list of places I won't set foot in... (assuming that's true)
Hobby Lobby is trying to catch up with Chick-fil-A. Bull**** unconstitutional claims that the government has to endorse their religious values. If church wasn't separate from state we'd get even less done considering the the variety of religions that have values that run counter to numerous government programs - war, farming/food programs (eating meat or particular types of meat), sexual equality, working hours etc.

Here's one I got at work recently:

I’m reaching out to see if you had any interest in writing about whether personal faith helps or hurts business in light of recent events at Chik-fil-A. Being closed on certain days, paying a premium for labor, etc—it can be costly to be a businessperson of faith, even as the world cries out for companies to have a moral compass. Christian brothers Will and Chris Haughey left Wall Street in 2006 to found the toy company Tegu (www.tegu.com) in Honduras, putting the company at a disadvantage to competitors based in China. The company’s purpose? “In response to God’s love for humanity, Tegu exists to bring hope, purpose and opportunity to the people of the developing world through the creation of enduring commercial profit.”

Please let me know if I can connect you with Will and Chris to collaborate with you on such a story or comment on Chik-fil-A. Thanks for your time, Andrew!

Here are some recent clips of Will/Chris:

Front Range, dude...
What bothers me most about religious businesses and their assertations of faith through business is that it is distinctly possible that not all their employees are of the same faith. Be a Christian/Muslim/Jew/Zoroastrian/Buddhist whatever...it is your right. But dont force your faith on your employees or customers...they have rights also.

What bothers me most about religious businesses and their assertations of faith through business is that it is distinctly possible that not all their employees are of the same faith. Be a Christian/Muslim/Jew/Zoroastrian/Buddhist whatever...it is your right. But dont force your faith on your employees or customers...they have rights also.
As an atheist, I'm always leery of businesses that have the little fish on them. Nobody's willing to **** you over like the devoutly religious man who realizes that you don't worship his particular fairy tale. Because, after all, God is on his side, not yours, and you're not part of the tribe...

My mom has put a fish on the family car as long sa I can remember. As self expression, sure. But to put it on your business card or worse, the sign on your store makes me think twice about it.

With only one exception, all the "Christian" business owners I know fit this perfectly...........the even f*** their "own kind" if they think they can get away with it............

Subject: Mitt Romney's Resume









































MITT ROMNEY'S RESUME

This was written by a journalist from the Florida Times- Union Newspaper.

His full Name is: Willard Mitt Romney.

He was Born: March 12, 1947 and is 65 years old.

His Father: George W. Romney, CEO of American Motors, former Governor of
the State of Michigan and presidential candidate.

He was raised in Bloomfield Hills , Michigan

He is Married to Ann Romney since 1969; they have five children.

Education:

B.A. from Brigham Young University, J.D. and M.B.A. from Harvard University

Religion: Mormon - The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints

Working Background:

After high school, he spent 30 months in France as a Mormon
missionary.

After going to both Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School
simultaneously, he passed the Michigan bar exam, but never worked as an
attorney.

In 1984, he co-founded Bain Capital, a private equity investment firm,
today one of the largest such firms in the United States .

In 1994, he ran for Senator of Massachusetts and lost to Ted Kennedy.

He was President and CEO of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, a task he took to
save the games, at that time mired in scandals and near bankruptcy. Under
his direction the games made a sizable profit, which is rare of Olympic
games.

In 2002, he was elected Governor of the State of Massachusetts where he
eliminated a 1.5 billion deficit.

Some Interesting Facts about Romney:

Bain Capital, starting with one small office supply store in Massachusetts,
turned it into Staples; now over 2,000 stores employing 90,000 people. Bain
Capital also worked to perform the same kinds of business miracles again
and again, with companies like Domino's, Sealy, Brookstone, Weather Channel,
Burger King, Warner Music Group, Dollarama, Home Depot Supply, and many
others.

He was an unpaid volunteer campaign worker for his dad's gubernatorial
campaign 1 year.

He was an unpaid intern in his dad's governor's office for eight years.

He was an unpaid bishop and stake president of his church for ten years.

He was an unpaid President of the Salt Lake Olympic Committee for three
years.

He took no salary and was the unpaid Governor of Massachusetts for four
years.

He gave his entire multi-million dollar inheritance from his father to
charity.

Mitt Romney is one of the wealthiest self-made men in our country but has
given more back to its citizens in terms of money, service and time than
most men in history.

And in 2011 Mitt Romney gave over $4 million to charity, almost 19% of his
income....

Just for comparison purposes, Obama gave 1% and Joe Biden gave $300 or
.0013%.

Mitt Romney is Trustworthy:

He will show us his birth certificate
He will show us his high school and college transcripts.
He will show us his social security card.
He will show us his law degree.
He will show us his draft notice.
He will show us his medical records.

Mitt Romney's background, experience and trustworthiness show him to be a
great leader and an excellent citizen for President of the United States.

You may think that Romney may not be the best representative the
Republicans could have selected. At least I know what religion he is, and
that he won't desecrate the flag, bow down to foreign powers, or practice
fiscal irresponsibility. We know he has the ability to turn around this
significant financial debacle that the current regime has gotten us into
that, if left alone, will seriously damage our children and children's
children for years to come.

We won't like all the things necessary to recover from this debt, but
someone with Romney's background can do it and help us swallow the bitter
pill we must take ( necessary cuts in spending, programs), but he will make
it as less painful as anybody can.


He never was a "Community Organizer", never used Cocaine or smoked pot,
never got drunk, did not associate with communists or terrorists, nor did
he attend a church whose pastor called for God to damn the U.S.



P.S.: Even if you don't personally like him, you have to agree that voting
for him is still better than remaining indifferent to this horrendous path
the current government has set us on at all levels and that will get even
worse, economically, socially, religiously, morally, as a nation of
values...

Please vote, and make a positive difference!

"At least I know what religion he is" is pretty obvious code for "The naggers lying to me!"

Nothing about Muslims though, of course...

Make this YOUR business!
Did you notice who Obama Threatened?

It's incredible that 42% of Americans think that this unqualified, incompetent,dishonorable, ego-driven fraud is doing a good job. Take a moment. Admit it to yourself. You know who his supporters are. They are the people that YOU support -- financially.

From now thru November 2012 this should be required weekly or at least monthly reading BY ALL WHO VOTE!!!

Did you notice who Obama threatened when he wasn't getting his way on raising the debt ceiling? He threatened to not pay:
- Social Security Retirees
- Military Retirees
- Social Security
- Disability
and
-Federal Retirees.
- Now … let this sink in really good...
- He did not threaten to stop payments to illegal aliens.
- He did not threatened to take frivolous benefits such as Internet access away from violent inmates.
- He did not offer to fire some of the thousands of unnecessary federal employees that he hired.
- He did not offer to cut down on his or his wife's frivolousgallivanting around.
- He did not threaten to not pay the senators and representatives or any of their staff.
- He did not threaten to take benefits away from welfare recipients.
- He did not threaten the food stamp programs.
- He did not threaten to reduce payments in foreign aid.
- He did not threaten to cut back on anything that involves his base voters.
- The list could go on and on. He is in full political re-election mode!
• Why are we allowing this person to destroy this wonderful country with his selfishness and his lies? Have WE lost our blooming minds!!!!!!!!

• His type of change is killing our country. He needs to be stopped and only our votes can stop him.

• Do not forget about his tactics when it's election time.
Vote Obama out of the White House in 2012.

LET'S MAKE 2012 - THE END OF AN ERROR!

We the people are coming
Only 86% will send this on. Should be 100%. What will you do?

Abbott & Costello's on the Obama Administration’s Unemployment report

COSTELLO: I want to talk about the unemployment rate in America .

ABBOTT: Good Subject. Terrible Times. It's 8.1%.

COSTELLO: That many people are out of work?

ABBOTT: No, that's 14.7%.

COSTELLO: You just said 8.1%.

ABBOTT: 8.1% Unemployed.

COSTELLO: Right 8.1% out of work.

ABBOTT: No, that's 14.7%.

COSTELLO: Okay, so it's 14.7% unemployed.

ABBOTT: No, that's 8.1%.

COSTELLO: WAIT A MINUTE. Is it 8.1% or14.7%?

ABBOTT: 8.1% are unemployed. 14.7% are out of work.

COSTELLO: IF you are out of work you are unemployed.

ABBOTT: No, Obama said you can't count the "Out of Work" as the unemployed. You have to look for work to be unemployed.

COSTELLO: BUT THEY ARE OUT OF WORK!!!

ABBOTT: No, you miss his point.

COSTELLO: What point?

ABBOTT: Someone who doesn't look for work can't be counted with those who look for work. It wouldn't be fair.

COSTELLO: To whom?

ABBOTT: The unemployed.

COSTELLO: But they are ALL out of work.

ABBOTT: No, the unemployed are actively looking for work. Those who are out of work gave up looking and if you give up, you are no longer in the ranks of the unemployed.

COSTELLO: So if you're off the unemployment rolls that would count as less unemployment?

ABBOTT: Unemployment would go down. Absolutely!

COSTELLO: The unemployment just goes down because you don't look for work?

ABBOTT: Absolutely it goes down. That's how Obama gets it to 8.1%.. Otherwise it would be 14.7%. He doesn't want you to read about 14.7% unemployment.

COSTELLO: That would be tough on his reelection.

ABBOTT: Absolutely.

COSTELLO: Wait, I got a question for you. That means there are two ways to bring down the unemployment number?

ABBOTT: Two ways is correct.

COSTELLO: Unemployment can go down if someone gets a job?

ABBOTT: Correct.

COSTELLO: And unemployment can also go down if you stop looking for a job?

ABBOTT: Bingo.

COSTELLO: So there are two ways to bring unemployment down, and the easier of the two is to have Obama's supporters stop looking for work.

ABBOTT: Now you're thinking like the Obama Economy Czar.

COSTELLO: I don't even know what the hell I just said!

ABBOTT: Now you're thinking like Obama.​

Sadly, many are putting up with this crap!

















Stupid Is As Stupid Does, could this be us?





Stupid Is As Stupid Does

A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine that America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves.

Pause a moment, reflect back.

These events are actual events from history.?

They really happened!!!?

Do you remember?

1. In 1968, Bobby Kennedy

Was shot and killed by a Muslim male.

2. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics,

Athletes were kidnapped and massacred

by Muslim males.

3. In 1972 a PanAm 747 was hijacked and eventually diverted to?Cairo where a fuse was lit on final approach and it was blown up shortly after landing by Muslim males.

4. In 1973 a PanAm 707 was destroyed in Rome, with 33 people killed, when it Was attacked with grenades by Muslim males.


5. In 1979, the US embassy
In Iran was taken over by Muslim males.

6. During the 1980's a number of Americans were kidnapped in
Lebanon by Muslim males.

7. In 1983, the US Marine barracks In Beirut was blown up by Muslim males.

8. In 1985, the cruise ship?Achille Lauro was hijacked?and a 70 year
Old American passenger was murdered?and thrown overboard In hiswheelchair by Muslim males.

9. In 1985, TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens,?and a US Navy diver trying to rescue?passengers was murdered by Muslim males.

10. In 1988,PanAm Flight 103 was bombed by Muslim males.

11. In 1993, the World Trade Center Was bombed the first time by Muslim males.

12. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim males.

13. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles To take down the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed Into the US Pentagon?and the other Was diverted and crashed?by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed by Muslim males.

14. In 2002, the United States Fought a war in Afghanistan against Muslim males.

15. In 2002, reporter Daniel
Pearl was kidnapped and beheaded by---

You guessed it---

Muslim males.

No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people.

Absolutely No Profiling!

They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and
Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss,But leave Muslim Males alone lest they be guilty of profiling.

Have the American people completely lost their Minds,or just their Power of Reason???

Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Allreds and other stupid attorneys along with Federal Justices who want to thwart common sense, feel ashamed of themselves -- if they have any such sense.

As the writer of the award-winning story "Forrest Gump" so aptly put it, 'Stupid Is As Stupid Does'

Each opportunity that you have to send this to a friend or Media outlet...

Do it
