Your blanket statement is a bunch of garbage mojack. You surf through these post to come to the aid of your president. He has lied to the American people from day one. He will use whatever means he can to promote his agenda. Do you support the self professed communist he has appointed? I have had family lay their lives down for this country and when I ask them about what is going on today they all say without hesitation that they didn't lay their lives down for this. They are disgusted with what this man in the whitehouse is doing to this great nation along with those in congress and the senate. He circumvents congress with his czars and other agencies. The constitution means nothing to this man. Does it mean anything to you?

Do you know which President used unprecidented, historic use of the "Czar" position????

One President took the staff of Czars from 8 to 33. That's an addition of 300%.........

Hmmm......... I wonder where all the outrage of this president using this unprecidented power to circumvent congress. I'm surprised the congress in power at that time didn't ride this guy out of town on a rail under the auspicies of impeachment for this...... Heck, it was even a Republican controlled congress. And we all know, they are dead set on the Constitution.

How did George W. Bush survive 8 years in office with a record like that. :blink: :blink:

Ever since this practice of appointing czars began years ago, it has always been considered possible that they are all unconstitutional. But it never built to a critical mass to elicit a court fight. These czars were few and far between, and rarely did anything that seriously ruffled any feathers. But President Obama has taken this to an unprecedented level, to the point where these appointments are dangerous to our constitutional regime.

This has become too much for the longest-serving senator in U.S. history to stomach. Democratic Senator Robert Byrd is the president pro tempore of the U.S. Senate. Even though Senate rules vest most powers in the Senate majority leader, the president pro tempore is a constitutional officer, and third in line to the U.S. presidency (after the vice president and the Speaker of the House). This office is held by a Democrat, who has been serving in the Senate since before Barack Obama was even born.

Senator Byrd wrote a letter to President Obama in February, criticizing the president’s strategy of creating czars to manage important areas of national policy. Senator Byrd said that these appointments violate both the constitutional system of checks and balances and the constitutional separation of powers, and is a clear attempt to evade congressional oversight. (Didn’t this White House promise unprecedented transparency?)

And Senator Byrd is exactly correct. The Constitution commands that government officers with significant authority (called “principal officers”) are nominated by the president but then are subject to a confirmation vote by the U.S. Senate. And principal officers include not only cabinet-level department heads, but go five levels deep in executive appointments, to include assistant secretaries and deputy undersecretaries.

Because he's a man of God. Does that mean he was perfect, there's only one who walked the face of this earth perfect. Did President Bush use his czars or the EPA like this president? Did he stop drilling in the gulf and then give money to another country to do that, btw, the company that drilled has Geo Soros as a major player? Did he use the EPA to hold up permits? Did he squash our opportunities to work in this country? Did he take money from us to give to his supporters like Obama has? This President hasn't been in office for more than one term and there's so much garbage with him it's pathetic. and you support him? I didn't and won't. I want a God fearing man in office, not one who plays the God card when it's convenient to promote his agenda. He's the biggest farce we've ever had as a president and I hope to God we never have one like him again. Who is Obama, one day we may find out. What a disgrace to this great nation.

These czars were few and far between, until GWB took it from 8 to 33. Is that what you mean????

How did Obama take it to an unprecedented level. He took it from 33 to 38. He added 5. GWB added 25!!!! That's taking it to a level 5 times what Obama did!!!! Are you serious???

And Per the article below, Senator Byrd also called out George W. Bush and Richard Nixon. So it appears he wasn't only upset at President Obama, but at the entire process.

"He also listed numerous examples from the administrations of Presidents Richard Nixon and George W. Bush of officials who directed policy as White House assistants."

And all Senator Byrd did was talk about it. He could have done moreand he didn't. When will any of them rise up and say enough is enough. Both sides of the aisle need to be swept out of office. The professional politicians need to go. My God we had a man voted into office in Minnesota and asked to be sworn in with the koran. Then the president lies about the influence the muslims had on shaping America. Just about any time he moves his lips he's lying. But you're all for him. I personally would like to see someone voted in that walks in integrity. I'm afraid one of them up there have a clue to what that means.

Blanket statement fits the bill. I always say, "Reading is Fundamental". Its clear that these folks follow the fabricated story tellers. They sensationalize and demonize absolutely everything the President does or say and even the things he doesn't do or say. These people totally disregard history and have come to believe the fantastic stories because they have been conditioned, yes well conditioned, to ignore the traditional president's power and replace it with hate, communism, socialism and Muslism because he doesn't look traditional or that he has non-traditional ideology. You know I'm referring to traditional government and some folks here that say "shoot first, ask/answer questions later". The Christian government that have led the country into wars for WMDs from the result of 9/11 and loss of American and ally lives for reasons unveiled. This is NOT a blanket statement on Christians, I am also a Christian.

@Kiteman you've done well with responding to trooper and others with interpretation of clearly written statements. Reading is fundamental. Some folks move words around to create a different story.

I didn't say a blanket statememnt on christians. The blanket statement is against anyone who doesn't like Obama. You're statement lumped everyone in who comes against the president. Act like a christian and quit bashing those wo don't care for your man in the whitehouse. He has over-stepped his authority on many occasions and no one in office wants to step up to the plate and call him out. I for one am not a birther but would love to see a birth certificate that is legit. It ought to be mandatory to be on a ballot in a state that you provide one that is legit. Now lump me in with the birthers, you're good at doing that. As far as demonize the president, do you approve of all he does? Illegal healthcare bill, going to war without congress approving, 2 billion dollars to drill for oil to a foreign counrty while shutting down drilling in the gulf. I live in Louisiana, I'm unemployed partly because of him and his political payoffs to his cronies. He has crushed the business I have worked in for 35 years.

WOW!!!! There is so much here I don't know where to start. But I'll give it a whirl........

1. Did President Bush use his czars or the EPA like this president?

What have President Obama’s Czars done that is so oppressive? What have they done that is so terrible? One example, one article, something. Please provide the support for it too.

2. Did he stop drilling in the gulf and then give money to another country to do that, btw, the company that drilled has Geo Soros as a major player? Did he use the EPA to hold up permits?

He never stopped drilling in the gulf. He stopped DEEP WATER drilling for a period of time after the Deep Water Horizion accident in order to review and update the saftey regulations for this activity. Ask the shimpers and boat operators in Alabama and Lousisiana if they think deep water permits should be flowing again already???? You know, all those small business operators that are now going broke due to no more supply of their product. Or ask all the bed and breakfast operators and gift shop operators along the gulf that lost their livelyhood due to the accident.

Here’s an article for your to read and brush up on the facts of gulf drilling!

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2011/mar/29/michele-bachmann/michele-bachmann-claims-there-has-been-just-one-ne/

And here is the governments website showing all the permits being issued to drill. Seems like things are cooking along nicely!!!!

http://www.bsee.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Permits/Status-of-Gulf-of-Mexico-Well-Permits.aspx

As to the money to Brazil, I'd suggest some internet research on this also. I'm not going to go into all the details on this, but suffice it to say, this was not done by President Obama. It was done by the US Export Import Bank. And the loan was approved by 3 Republicans and 2 Democrats on the board of EX-IM Bank that were appointed by George W. Bush!!!!

Here is a link for your review.

http://www.exim.gov/brazil/petrobasfacts.cfm

A few lines from the link:

Ex-Im Bank operates without taxpayer funding and earns revenue that helps reduce the deficit. By charging fees and interest on all loan-related transactions, Ex-Im Bank is self-sustaining and is able to cover all operation costs and potential losses while also producing revenue. The Bank has generated $3.4 billion for U.S. taxpayers over the past five years

Export financing helps create or save American jobs. In fiscal year 2010, Ex-Im Bank authorized a record high of approximately $24.5 billion in loans, guarantees and insurance, (including $5 billion for small businesses) supporting an estimated 230,000 American jobs at 3,300 American companies.

To date, Ex-Im Bank has approved a request from JP Morgan Chase, acting as lender, for a more than $300 million, medium-term guarantee. This facility was made operative on May 27, 2011 and is being used to finance the Petrobras's general purchases of U.S. manufactured oil and gas equipment and services. ( sure looks like private enterprise - Chase - wants your tax dollars to back these loans!)

Fact: The Bank has established a $2 billion financing opportunity for Petrobras to use solely for the purchase of American-made goods and services. So far, Ex-Im has approved $300 million to finance Petrobras' purchase of U.S. oil and gas equipment and services.

3. Did he squash our opportunities to work in this country? Did he take money from us to give to his supporters like Obama has?

Yes he did, by squandering trillions of dollars on unfunded wars, unfunded Medicare Part D and with No Bid Contracts give to his and Cheney’s cronies, he did both of these things. Has Obama continued down this road? Yes he has. Doesn’t make him any better or worse than Bush.

The rest is just your opinion. So on the facts of your post, you are dead wrong. I know you'll never support him, and I'm sure he doesn't care, but for people to keep perpetuating the party lies is no longer acceptable.

If this country is going dig it's way out of the mess created by both parties, the last 5-10 presidents, and the monied interests; we better quit all this BS and start figuring out how to work together to get control back in the hands of the taxpayer and out of the hands of the top 400 people and top 500 corporations. This country was never intended to be run by and for the advantage of the few.!!!!

Have a great Saturday! And BOOMER SOONER to ALL!

Who you think this Czar stuff comes from? It comes from the use to be communist who controlled Russia during Lenin, and Stalin's reign of terror.

This is what I mean about reading... I said blanket statement in response to your first initial reply.

At the end of my comments when I stated "The Christian government that have led the country into wars for WMDs from the result of 9/11 and loss of American and ally lives for reasons unveiled. This is NOT a blanket statement on Christians, I am also a Christian." I was noting that I was not using a blanket statement to all Christians in my statement.

What have President Obama’s Czars done that is so oppressive? What have they done that is so terrible? One example, one article, something. Please provide the support for it too.

Just a few controversial for me...

Special Advisor Czar: Valerie Jarrett

Jarrett is also linked to a series of other shady real estate scandals involving Tony Rezko. Jarrett has also been caught up in the Blagojevich scandal as Obama's “Candidate #1” for his

Senate seat. Most of Blagojevich's corrupt negotiations with the Obama team centered on the possible Jarrett appointment.

Diversity Czar: Mark Lloyd

Comments included remarks on the need to remove white people from powerful positions in the media to benefit minorities.

Medicare/Healthcare Czar: Dr. Donald Berwick

His support for a Great Britain-type health care system, suggests Berwick is a socialist – and now able to run amuck in shaping the future of Medicare and Medicaid in the U.S

Science Czar: John Holdren

Concerned with rising world population, the book considers possible plans to implement population control, including forced abortions, involuntary sterilizations, and other “coercive proposals [that] deserve discussion.” It also formulates the world government, called the “Planetary Regime,” necessary to implement such policies.

Four months following Holdren’s confirmation, reports began circulating of the alarming ideas considered in a 1977 text book which he co-authored. Titled Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment, the book espouses that “to provide a high quality of life for all, there must be fewer people.”

Safe and Drug-Free Schools Czar: Kevin Jennings

Jennings has publicly praised Harry Hay, who is associated with the North American ManBoy Love Association (NAMBLA). Jennings also wrote the forward to a book entitled Queering Elementary Education.

Regulatory Czar: Cass Sunstein

In his 2004 book, Animal Rights, Sunstein suggested that animals ought to be able to bring suit, with private citizens acting as their representatives, to ensure that

animals are not treated in a way the violates current law.

In 2007, in a speech that must have raised the hackles of the National Rifle Association and millions of gun-owning Americans, Sunstein proposed in a speech at Harvard that the

government ban hunting in the U.S.

Controversial Czars Who Resigned

See bottom page 20

Judicialwatch

By the way, it is important to note that Obama’s list of czars is constantly shifting as scandals force some corrupt czars from office (see former Consumer Czar Elizabeth Warren for just one example). My link

We could be done with this President in a year...who's with me?

Because he's a man of God. Does that mean he was perfect, there's only one who walked the face of this earth perfect. Did President Bush use his czars or the EPA like this president? Did he stop drilling in the gulf and then give money to another country to do that, btw, the company that drilled has Geo Soros as a major player? Did he use the EPA to hold up permits?

Pappy, I loved this post. ;)

Thomas Jefferson had something like 20,000 korans printed to be handed out to citizens so that they would better understand why we were going to war with Islam back then. Contrary to the Presidents rendition of why Jefferson had a koran. I don't believe Jeffersons goal was to teach American so they could sympathize with their enemy. We were paying them off to keep them from looting our ships in the region and Jefferson said enough of that nonsense, at that time it was about 20% of the budget. Our History is interesting when you here how it really went down. When we know where we came from we can prevent ourselves from returning there.

Here's a link, someone else had posted this the other day.

I'm researching the Army manual now, but you really need to find a different source on the deportations!!!! Here's part of a post I put up a couple of months ago!

Right from the Immigration & Customs Enforcement site:

2007 FY deportations (last year of the All Republican Government) : 291,060 total deportations.

2010 FY deportations (last fully year of stats available) : 392, 862 total deportations.

2011 FY deportations YTD (with two full months of stats left.) 324,719.

(2010 Stats show that there were over 70,000 deportations the last 2 months of 2010, if they keep that pace they'll be over 400,000!!!

http://www.ice.gov/doclib/about/offices/ero/pdf/ero-removals.pdf

So for that site to say they've only deported 126,000 people is complete bunk! Maybe the "owner of several conservative websites" as the bio at the bottom of your link says, has an axe to grind!!!

There's no guarantee the Army manual under the Obama administration doesn't make up its own facts regarding deportations.

people that hate this president will keep at it and thank god the GOP is looking foolish......it looks the haters will have 4 more years to come up with whatever.......boy Obama must be squeaky clean in his personal life....where are the affairs....that would make real news......what is completely silly he gives the kill ok for Seal Team 6 to take out Somalia pirates.......ask the captain of that ship his opinion of Obama or read his book........President Obama risk his chance for re-election for his decision to take out OBL using the Seal team.....He could have used another plan that was less riskier and even said if his plan failed and it cost him the election so be it........all in all his foreigh affair and commander in chief affairs have been successful even without a bomber jacket like the great patriot GW......

Ummmmmmmmm...... Did you even bother to click on the link before posting????

That is not a link to an Army site. That is a link to Immigration and Customes Enforcement. They are the people controlling the statistics on the deportations. See in the original post there were two items they claimed about the President. If you'll read the header next time, you can keep up!

1. Obama Forces the Army to Undergo Sensitivity Training - Easily disproven by my earlier posts on the manual, it's source and it's use.

2. Obama Released Enough Illegals to Fill Pittsburg - What the link you commented on was about. BTW, President Obama has crushed any year by GWB on Deportations.

I love the fact the right wing's hatred of the Democrats and Obama has them so far out there that they think career officers (Army), employees (The US Export - Import Bank we discussed earlier), and law enforcement people (ICE) will make up facts and reports to protect a President, who is a temporary employee of the governtment. Yeah, that's what I'd do for some guy I barely know. I'll risk my 30 - 40 year career that I've worked my tail off because some guy in the White House wants me to fake a report! :lol: :lol: :lol:

This facility was made operative on May 27, 2011 and is being used to finance the Petrobras's general purchases of U.S. manufactured oil and gas equipment and services. ( sure looks like private enterprise - Chase - wants your tax dollars to back these loans!)

Fact: The Bank has established a $2 billion financing opportunity for Petrobras to use solely for the purchase of American-made goods and services. So far, Ex-Im has approved $300 million to finance Petrobras' purchase of U.S. oil and gas equipment and services.

3. Did he squash our opportunities to work in this country? Did he take money from us to give to his supporters like Obama has?

Yes he did, by squandering trillions of dollars on unfunded wars, unfunded Medicare Part D and with No Bid Contracts give to his and Cheney’s cronies, he did both of these things. Has Obama continued down this road? Yes he has. Doesn’t make him any better or worse than Bush.

The rest is just your opinion. So on the facts of your post, you are dead wrong. I know you'll never support him, and I'm sure he doesn't care, but for people to keep perpetuating the party lies is no longer acceptable.

If this country is going dig it's way out of the mess created by both parties, the last 5-10 presidents, and the monied interests; we better quit all this BS and start figuring out how to work together to get control back in the hands of the taxpayer and out of the hands of the top 400 people and top 500 corporations. This country was never intended to be run by and for the advantage of the few.!!!!

Have a great Saturday! And BOOMER SOONER to ALL!

Thank you for the links. I would rather research the truth and not take for granted what CNBC or Fox News or any of the other networks word. You have opened my eyes to information I haven't seen. I will research these links to find out their political affiliations before forming an opinion. Hey if I wrong then I'm wrong. I will say that I agree that we have to stop with the rhetoric and come together and elect people that represent the constitution which should in turn represent us.

Since when do ILLEGALS have rights? Somebody please show me, where the hell did ILLEGALS get rights. THEY ARE BREAKING THE LAW IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY! Someone please tell me what foreign country do we have rights in! I am so sick of the whole subject of ILLEGALS having rights. Please show me where in the Constitution does it say that ILLEGALS HAVE RIGHTS IN OUR COUNTRY! We should be shooting these INVADERS! Instead we are giving them rights?

I have to agree with this earlier post.

You go to ANY OTHER COUNTRY illegally and see what RIGHTS they afford you - NONE!

You can waste your time contacting the American Concul - and they will tell you quick that you are SOL (Shi_ outta luck).

I do not agree with shooting illegals but they should be found & deported AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

The construction, hotel, and labor businesses that hire them should be heavily fined.

The whole reason that all these illegals are here is because there is always a business who will hire them because the business does not want to pay a decent wage & health & dental benefits to a legal employee.

BIG BUSINESS is to blame. They do not directly hire illegals - they play the "I DID NOT KNOW" that the contractor we hired to provide workers was hiring illegals game.

Meanwhile, Americans go without employment!

OK, jump in and blame Obama - it is BIG BUSINESS who is REALLY to blame for many of Americas problems!

What did Hoover, Truman, and Eisenhower have in common?

They took care of the illegals in the right manner = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Wetback

Three Presidents did it, yet we never hear about it.

What did Hoover, Truman, and Eisenhower have in common?

Back during The Great Depression, President Herbert Hoover ordered the

deportation of ALL illegal aliens in order to make jobs available to

American citizens that desperately needed work..

Harry Truman deported over two million Illegals after WWII to create

jobs for returning veterans.

And then again in 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower deported 13 million

Mexican Nationals! The program was called 'Operation *******'. It was

done so WWII and Korean Veterans would have a better chance at jobs.

It took 2 Years, but they deported them!

Now...if they could deport the illegals back then - they could sure

do it today.

lf you have doubts about the veracity of this information, enter

Operation ******* into your favorite search engine and confirm it for yourself.

Reminder:

Don't forget to pay your taxes...

20 million Illegals depend on you!

I appreciate your candor and your willingness to see the other side! All we can do for each other is help make sure we're not all being sold a bill of goods, by EITHER side! It's been a great conversation and I appreciate it!
