Department of Justice attacking Maricopa Co. AZ Sheriff Joe Arpaio for enforcing the law on illegal immigrants. If the Feds will not defend America and enforce the laws to protect our borders, get out of the way and let the states protect theirselves. And to be fair and balanced, George didn't do any better on enforcement, but at least he didn't try to prosecute those who are trying.

#16

#17. Barney Frank wanting investigations into who helped to cause the housing mess, but fails to admit his involvement in the failure of Fannie and Freddy when he denied there was any problem with them.

Obama's Secretary of Labor candidate appears to have House Ethics issues. She failed to disclose that she was the treasurer of a pro-union lobby group.

She'll do a better job than Mitch's Wife !

#18. Maxine Waters wants to nationalize the oil companies for their big profits, but sought help for a bank that she owned stock in and her husband was on the board of directors.

Nazi-Nancy and her private jet usage as the epitome of hypocrisy . (We could use a whole thread on her hypocrisy )

 

Interesting to see how this plays out in the media. As it has now made the national news with her wanting the military be her personal valet service.

 

This came out shortly after she was elected speaker but died rather quickly.

 

It is back. O'Reilly had a segment about it last night. I believe he said he was going to expand on it tonight (3-12-09).

If you go to Drudge's recent headlines 3-10-09 there is another article about her situation.

 

I haven't followed this one closely but I did hear/read that Hastert used it more than Pelosi. I don't remember that being reported much either.

 

I also read that the latest report about her demands for a G5 were not for her personal use but , rather, bipartisan use for congressional delegations.

#19. John McCain proposed to tax the health benefits provided by employers and Obama thought it was a bad idea. 1 time I'll agree with the Socialist, because he was aginst a socialist idea. Now he wants to tax these very same health benefits. I am still against taxing them.

I think if this goes through a lot of people are going to be surprised how much their taxes go up. I'm not talking about those making over $250,000 either.

Where has the President said he is going to tax healthcare benefits?

They're giving signals that they're open to the idea.

Thank you. I was already familiar with the NYT article. I was hoping someone had something more substantive than speculation based on one comment.

 

Notice it didn't have any quotes from the White House.

 

However, ABC News does:

 

 

"I saw this, the article you're talking about," White House economic adviser Austan Goolsbee said on "Fox News Sunday." "I thought that was highly overstated. That is not in the president's budget. The president's budget -- you have it there on the table. It does not include this provision. This appears to be coming from (when) the administration and representatives of the administration went to Congress and said, 'We are open to all ideas to talk about health reform.'"

 

Goolsbee noted that "there are some people in Congress who are pushing this, but that is not the president's idea."

Politician's often float trial balloons before they stick their necks out seeing which way the wind is blowing. Clinton did this often as he had no core values and I see Obama is following suit. Although I will say that Obama's values are of socialism, something that many said he was not during the election.

So what you're saying is that he hasn't declared that there will be taxes on health benefits, correct?

 

I would be curious to hear how his healthcare plan falls under the "socialist" tag.

Thanks, I personally would feel better if Obama said "I said it was a bad idea during the campaign and I still think it's a bad idea".

Any health care run by government is socialism.

Too many Americans are becoming weak and want the government to do what they should do for theirselves. I grew up without insurance and survived, I am quite sure people can do it today. The problem is people are being told they can't do it, their too weak and inept, government has to do it for them as government is full of smart people. At least they claim to be smarter than everyone else.
