"Because what I said to you that morning and what I did every day since is to share the best information that we had at the time."
"But the notion that somehow I or anybody else in the administration misled the American people is patently false. And I think that's been amply demonstrated."
"The information I provided, which I explained to you, was what we had at the moment. It could change. I commented that this was based on what we knew on that morning, was provided to me and my colleagues and, indeed, to Congress, by the intelligence community. And that's been well validated in many different ways since."
"We will get the perpetrators. We will stay on it till it gets done.
The CBO is apparently channeling Fox News, and being subsidized by Ted Cruz and the Koch brothers. In their latest report, the Congressional Budget Office reported that Obamacare will kill the jobs of at least 2 million workers and drive them out of the labor market by 2017. Why? Because Obamacare punishes businesses who hire full-time employees.
Of course, combine that with the stagnation of the U.S. economy in general, the outlook is grim. The CBO also added an extra $1 trillion to the cumulative deficit over the next decade.
To make matters worse, the CBO projected that public debt will rise to 80% of the GDP by 2024.
"No, the most basic issue here is not religious morality, individual liberty, or fiscal responsibility. It’s that a society in which middle-aged children of privilege testify before the most powerful figures in the land to demand state-enforced funding for their sex lives at a time when their government owes more money than anyone has ever owed in the history of the planet is quite simply nuts." –Mark Steyn, National Review
Sandra Fluke (everyone’s favorite “slut”) is apparently considering ….wait for it…running for Rep. Henry Waxman’s (D -CA) seat now that Waxman has announced his intention to retire from a position he has held for 40 years. The district encompasses wealthy celebrity-littered areas like Bel Air, Brentwood, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and Malibu.
"I am strongly considering running. I'll be making my decision soon." – Sandra Fluke
Fluke’s claim to fame was a result of a fake protest she launched to get her contraception paid for by the U.S. government. She masqueraded as a college student (despite the fact that she is over 30), a birth control activist (whatever that is), a woman who has been victimized (?), a poor person who can’t afford $9 per month for birth control pills (she is from an elite family and attended Georgetown post graduate), and an online educator (she organized an online webinar that no one attended). Rush Limbaugh made her a household name after a running satirical commentary about how absurd Fluke’s propositions were.
"She essentially says that she must be paid to have sex—what does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex. She's having so much sex she can't afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex." – Rush Limbaugh
Fluke has publically embarrassed herself many times since the Rush Limbaugh controversy. Fluke spoke at the DNC arguing against ultrasounds (a painless medical imaging procedure used for a medical professional to visually check the health and development of a fetus in utero), protested to allow transgenders to join the military, campaigned to force universities to make gender reassignment surgery a “requirement” for college healthcare plans and called for the government to “do something” about rape on Indian reservations.
This is almost as good as Ashley Judd running for Senate.
James Clapper, our Director of National Intelligence delivered a report to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence this week entitled “US Intelligence Worldwide Threat Assessment.” The media has kept the report under wraps – mostly because of the content not because of the sensitive nature of the material.
Clapper admitted that Iran has the technical infrastructure to produce nuclear weapons.
“Tehran has made technical progress in a number of areas — including uranium enrichment, nuclear reactors, and ballistic missiles — from which it could draw if it decided to build missile-deliverable nuclear weapons. These technical advancements strengthen our assessment that Iran has the scientific, technical, and industrial capacity to eventually produce nuclear weapons. This makes the central issue its political will to do so.”
Clapper also claimed that we would find out if such a weapon were made based on the new “transparency” agreed to by the Iranians in Geneva last November. Clapper also towed the Obama administration’s narrative that imposing more sanctions against Iran would be “counterproductive.”
Texas Senator Ted Cruz penned an important article for The Wall Street Journal about THE most troubling aspect of the Obama presidency – his need for unilateral power grabs. Obama has defied the U.S. Constitution and mocked our nation of laws by bypassing the entire law-making process as it existed since the inception of the United States.
Cruz makes the point succinctly and artfully:
Yet rather than honor this duty, President Obama has openly defied it by repeatedly suspending, delaying and waiving portions of the laws he is charged to enforce. When Mr. Obama disagreed with federal immigration laws, he instructed the Justice Department to cease enforcing the laws. He did the same thing with federal welfare law, drug laws and the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
Cruz goes on to point out that Obama proudly and openly defies limits to Presidential authority:
President Obama has a different approach. As he said recently, describing his executive powers: "I've got a pen, and I've got a phone." Under the Constitution, that is not the way federal law is supposed to work.
In the more than two centuries of our nation's history, there is simply no precedent for the White House wantonly ignoring federal law and asking private companies to do the same.
Cruz sums it up, describing the danger to our Republic:
As Montesquieu knew, an imperial presidency threatens the liberty of every citizen. Because when a president can pick and choose which laws to follow and which to ignore, he is no longer a president.
Hardly a fashion writer, I could not let Michelle Obama’s fashion faux pas from the State of the Union address pass without comment. Yes we have seen Michelle in a number of frightening outfits – from jewel-toned , off -the -shoulder atrocities passing for blouses to yoga pants in the East Room, this First Lady has captured a cacophonous, "too –casual- for- the- role" look since 2008.
This year, Michelle opted for a bizarre compilation – the Matrix Meets Barbara Billingsley – a cruel mistress version of a 1950s black Barbie. The Planet of the Apes bangs are gone (sigh of relief) and we are back to Happy Dominatrix Homemaker. All she needs is a bullwhip and a hand mixer.
So who can possibly understand the severe Stepford Wife A -line silhouette combined with the pleather strip from Goodyear around the waist, desperately trying to keep it all cinched in?
