Domino’s: We Will Have To Post 34 Million Signs In Each Store To Comply With Obamacare Nutritional Regulations ~ Screw You Obama
Domino’s: We Will Have To Post 34 Million Signs In Each Store To Comply With Obamacare Nutritional Regulations…
New Obamacare regulations targeting the fast food and grocery store market that require signs detailing calorie and nutritional information on every product will force pizza makers like Domino’s to post up to 34 million different signs in every store: One for every possible pizza order.
“It’s not like a Big Mac. Pizza is customizable, there are options to factor in,” said Jenny Fouracre-Petko, legislative director for Domino’s and a member of the trade group American Pizza Community. “There are 34 million pizza combinations. We’ve done the math.”
Ditto for the grocery stores, which are shifting to providing more fresh made and baked goods, said Erik Lieberman, counsel for the Food Marketing Institute. “Consider just one fresh-baked blueberry muffin. If one is sold, you need a nutrition sign or sticker. If a half dozen are sold, a different one is required. Same if you sell a dozen.”

Socialist Obama “Will Not Sign” A Deal Unless It Increase Taxes
Obama “Will Not Sign” A Deal Unless It Increase Taxes…
(CNSNews.com) – White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said today that no matter what else happens President Barack Obama–who is the only modern president other than Franklin Roosevelt to serve in four years when federal spending topped 24 percent of GDP–will not sign a deal to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff that will arrive at the end of this year unless that deal increases taxes.
“So the President made clear that he is not wedded to every detail of his plan,” said Carney. “The President has also made categorically and abundantly clear that he will not sign an extension of the Bush-era tax cuts for top earners. It’s bad economic policy and we cannot afford it. He will not sign that.”
According to official calculations made by the White House Office of Management and Budget that go back to 1930, Barack Obama and Franklin Roosevelt are the only two presidents who have served in four fiscal years when federal spending exceeded 24 percent of GDP. Roosevelt did so in 1942, 1943, 1944, and 1945 (when he died in office). Obama did so in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.

I agree so much, just walk away. Make and force the dems to own this whole thing.
I would even suggest for the republicans to hold a press conference stating the facts and the truth and then say the dems OWN it, .......and mean it and stick to their guns about it.

Rush Limbaugh: Republicans Need to Just Walk Away (Video)
Rush Limbaugh: Republicans Need to Just Walk Away
RUSH: I’m having trouble coming up with a term for this. But the conventional wisdom, the groupthink, I mean, folks, I don’t care where you go, and this is not a criticism. I’m actually looking at this in wonderment. I don’t care where you go. It could be a left-wing blog or right-wing blog, a left-wing magazine, a right-wing magazine, a left-wing newspaper, right-wing newspaper, they’re all analyzing these negotiations in the same way: Can Obama prevail over the Republicans? Do the Republicans have any leverage? Are the Republicans going to get entitlement reform? Will there be any serious tax reform? Will there be any serious spending cuts?
All of that is just bunk. It’s not real. That’s not what’s happening. In the leverage that the Republicans have? “That’s right, Mr. Limbaugh, the Republicans have leverage that they don’t even know they have, because Obama doesn’t want that second term recession. They need to call his bluff. They don’t dare cave on this because Obama does not want to be saddled with a second term recession.” I don’t think he cared about the first term recession. And besides, an Obama recession is never gonna be called a recession. The people who write the history are Obama’s friends. Whatever happens economically: 399,000 unemployment claims is good news, and 7.9, 8.2% unemployment, not a problem.
Would somebody explain to me how the people who elected Obama, who support Obama, who love Obama in the media, in the universities, who write the history, are going to write anything critical of the guy no matter what happens? Even if there is a second term recession, you’re gonna need a telescope to find it reported, just like you need a telescope to find Oprah’s network now. It won’t be reported as a recession. So what is the leverage that the Republicans have? To my mind the only leverage they’ve got is to walk away from this, to stop playing, to stop talking, to stop playing this game.
The Republicans lost. Now, they still control the House of Representatives. Boehner still runs the show there. But the only leverage that I can see that they’ve got is to back out of this and make sure that whatever happens, they don’t have any fingerprints on it. I know what you’re saying, and you’d be right. You’re saying, “But, Rush, but, Rush, no matter what the Republicans do, they’re gonna get blamed for it.” Yes, totally true. No matter what happens. If there is a reported recession, in fact, it will be said to be the Republicans in the House fault. No matter what happens, that’s going to be said, and no matter what happens, as we sit here now, the American people, the majority of whom, are gonna believe that.

Ditto that I sure hope they listen to Krauthammer and Rush about this.

Marco Rubio Proposes Defunding the UN
Florida senator Marco Rubio has issued a press release opposing UN recognition of Palestine. He has also announced that he is co-sponsoring an amendment that would prohibit US taxpayer dollars from funding the U.N. if they proceed with recognizing Palestinine as a non-member state.
Here is the text of Rubio’s statement:
“I oppose this unilateral move by the government of president Abbas and regret its reckless endorsement by the United Nations. True peace and international recognition of a Palestinian state can only be achieved through direct negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians. The Palestinian people would be much better served if the Palestinian Authority were to spend its energies in responding to several Israeli calls for direct negotiations. As the Senate debates the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), I am proud to be a co-sponsor of an amendment to prohibit U.S. taxpayer funding for the United Nations in the event the organization upgrades Palestine’s status from permanent observer ‘entity’ before a comprehensive peace agreement has been reached with Israel. The Senate should swiftly adopt it.”

A powerful statement today by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the move by the Palestinians and their allies at the United Nations today to have Palestine recognized by the U.N. as an observer state. The resolution is expected to pass in the General Assembly. The United States has said it will oppose the move.
Netanyahu points out that Palestine should not be recognized as an official state until it officially recognizes Israel’s right to exist. Netanyahu bluntly issued a warning to the United Nations:
“As for the rights of the Jewish people in this land, I have a smiple message for those gathered in the General Assembly today. No decision by the U.N. can break the 4,000 year-old bond between the people of Israel, and the land of Israel.”

Benghazi Will Be Biggest Cover-up in History
Sen. James Inhofe (R., Okla.) said Wednesday he believes the administration’s handling of the Benghazi attack would “go down as the biggest cover-up in history.”
“This is going to go down as the biggest cover-up in history,” Inhofe told Fox News’ Bill Hemmer. “They all knew it, they were all hoping it’d go away.”
Later in the interview, Hemmer followed up the point and Inhofe said he stood by the remark:

Krauthammer: Obama is “Not Trying to Fix our Fiscal Issues. . . He’s Trying to Destroy the Republicans” – Video
Krauthammer: Obama is “Not Trying to Fix our Fiscal Issues. . . He’s Trying to Destroy the Republicans”
Fox News’ “Special Report” tonight, Charles Krauthammer could not be more right in saying that President Barack Obama is not really trying to deal with the “Fiscal Cliff.” He’s “trying to destroy the Republicans.”
“He’s not trying to fix our fiscal issues and problems. He’s trying to destroy the Republicans by insisting that there is a split among the Republicans on this issue which has held them together, the same way it destroyed President Bush Senior when he went back on the pledge he made. This is a political attack on the Republicans. There is no evidence right now that he has any interest in the real fiscal issue because he would have to talk about spending and entitlements and he isn’t.”
Krauthammer pointed out that Obama’s vaunted tax increase on the evil rich is really nothing. It will only reduce the annual budget deficit from $1.10 Trillion to 1.02 Trillion, which Krauthammer called “nothing,” “lunch money,” a “rounding error,” and “a triviality.” Only be dealing with entitlements can the nation’s fiscal mess be dealt with – something which Obama and the Democrats are totally unwilling to do. After all – it’s how they win elections. They have zero incentive to reduce entitlements.

America's Enemy Obama Obama’s Plan To Raise Taxes Would Cover Only Eight Days Of Government Spending
Obama’s Plan To Raise Taxes Would Cover Only Eight Days Of Government Spending
ANDREA MITCHELL: There are reliable studies that show you can’t cap enough deductions and level the playing field enough to raise the kind of revenue you need. We’re talking about a trillion and a half dollars here.
TOM PRICE: You know well, Andrea, that the president’s plan to increase taxes on the upper 2 president covers the spending by this federal government not for eight years, not for eight months, not for eight weeks but for eight days. Eight days only. It’s not a real solution. So, again, I’m puzzled by an administration that seems to be more interested in raising tack rates than in gaining economic vitality.

The thing is Obama does not care if it would only pay for one day, he only cares that he wants to raise taxes.

Plante said there are no meetings scheduled and no evident sense of urgency by the White House to get anything done.

Poll: 54% Dissatisfied with Team Obama’s Handling of Benghazi - The Why Did You Idiots Vote For Obama
Townhall
A new poll released Tuesday by CNN shows that more than half of those surveyed are disappointed with the way the Obama administration handled (and responded to) the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya that claimed the lives of four American diplomats — including a sitting US Ambassador — on the eleventh anniversary of 9/11:
Americans are giving the White House low marks for how it’s handled the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and the resignation of former CIA Director David Petraeus, according to a new national survey.
But according to a CNN/ORC International poll released Tuesday, a majority of the public doesn’t believe the Obama administration intentionally tried to mislead Americans on the September attack that left the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans dead. And the survey also indicates a plurality have a positive opinion of Petraeus and are divided on whether the former top U.S. should have resigned as CIA director after acknowledging an extra-marital affair.
On Libya, 54% of the country is dissatisfied with the administration’s response to the Benghazi attack, with only four in ten saying they’re satisfied with the way the White House handled the matter.
Only 40% believe that the inaccurate statements that administration officials initially made about the Benghazi attack were an attempt to deliberately mislead the public. Fifty-four percent think those inaccurate statements reflected what the White House believed to be true at the time.”
Nearly half of those questioned (48%) say that the U.S. could have prevented the attack on its consulate in Benghazi, with 42% saying the U.S. could not have prevented the attack.

Gun Store Owner Who Banned Obama Supporters: 'Business Is Booming'
Gun Store Owner Who Banned Obama Supporters: 'Business Is Booming'
Last week, the owner of an Arizona gun shop made national headlines after it was reported that he had posted a sign and taken out a full page ad in a local newspaper that banned Obama supporters from entering his store. One week later, Cope Reynolds is cashing in on the attention.
Mr. Reynolds, owner of Southwest Shooting Authority says “business is booming” after his sign and newspaper ad caught the attention of various media outlets. The sign read: “If you voted for Barack Obama, your business is not welcome at Southwest Shooting Authority. You have proven you’re not responsible enough to own a firearm.”
Reynolds says he has been inundated with hundreds of calls and emails from media types and supporters. When asked about business, he replied, “I’ve been busier than a cat covering up poop on a marble floor.”
The Arizona Republic spoke with Mr. Reynolds about his sign and the effect it’s had on his business:
“People are saying that I’ve alienated half of our customers,” Reynolds said, laughing. “No, I haven’t. I haven't alienated any of my customers, because the people who voted for Obama don’t buy guns here. They don't come here at all. I haven’t alienated. I’ve improved things. I have packages sitting on my desk to be shipped to places like Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Idaho, Nevada and California.”
Talking Points Memo asked Mr. Reynolds how he will prevent Obama supporters from entering the store and purchasing merchandise. He said he will not be conducting a litmus test to determine the customer’s political views but that he is considering giving discounts to registered Republicans and Libertarians.
Seventy-Five percent of the calls he is getting are positive, Reynolds says. “You can always tell the ones that are not -- 9 out of 10 of them start out with vile and nasty language. And I guess they don’t have the intelligence to carry on a conversation like an adult.” Reynolds also revealed that he has been receiving death threats saying, “Just comes with the territory I guess.”
Mr. Reynolds admits that there haven’t been any serious attempts by the Obama administration to change America’s gun laws, but he suspects that is coming now that the president has been reelected.

I know there have been other gun shop owners that did this as well and I bet they are having a good business too.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- A coal company headed by a prominent Mitt Romney donor has laid off more than 160 workers in response to President Obama's election victory.

Democrats Say They Want Country To Go Over Fiscal Cliff, Love The Idea Of Taxes Going Up On Every America And Devastating Cuts To The Military
Dems Say They Want Country To Go Over Fiscal Cliff, Love The Idea Of Taxes Going Up On Every America And Devastating Cuts To The Military
Politico
A growing bloc of emboldened liberals say they’re not afraid to watch defense spending get gouged and taxes go up on every American if a budget deal doesn’t satisfy their priorities.
Here’s what these progressives fear: an agreement that keeps lower tax rates for the wealthy, hits the social safety net with unpalatable cuts and leaves Pentagon spending unscathed. In other words, they’d rather walk the country off the cliff than watch President Barack Obama cave on long-held liberal priorities.
“If the Republicans can’t see their way to significant additional revenues targeted toward the people who are best off and targeted toward passive income and other things like that, then we’re better off going over the cliff and readdressing this with a better Congress in January,” Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) said. “And we would have plenty of time to fix it.”
Bolstering the Democrats’ strategy is the belief that the “fiscal cliff” is actually shaped more like a “slope” where the economic effects will be felt gradually, not immediately. That theory gives Congress some time at the beginning of 2013 to set tax rates and configure budget cuts in a different political environment and with a new class of lawmakers.
But underlying the tough talk is also a sense of liberal angst — the left feels like it was burned by the last extension of the Bush tax rates and didn’t get much of what it wanted in the 2011 debt-limit deal.

Obama Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner who didn't pay his taxes and helped increase debt by trillions to lead negotiations for the fiscal cliff
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner will be the Obama administration’s point person during the deficit-reduction negotiations with Congress, The Wall Street Journal reports:
The move is part of the White House’s effort to leave behind the near-catastrophic failure of 2011 talks over raising the debt ceiling. Those negotiations were led by a team, including Jacob Lew, then White House budget chief and now chief of staff, with whom Republicans frequently clashed because they felt Mr. Lew wouldn’t agree to major changes to entitlement programs like Medicaid… Congressional aides and those optimistic about the possibility of the latest talks hope Mr. Geithner is better suited to the role of pragmatic deal maker…[Geithner will be joined by a team of White House budget and tax experts, including Mr. Lew, National Economic Council Director Gene Sperling, NEC Deputy Director Jason Furman and top congressional-affairs official Rob Nabors.

Russia’s Pravda Newspaper...."Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie… The Communists Won in America With Obama"
Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie… The Communists Won in America With Obama
Russia’s Pravda understands what just happened to America. They’ve been there before. Obama’s reelection is a win for the communists.
Putin in 2009 outlined his strategy for economic success. Alas, poor Obama did the opposite but nevertheless was re-elected. Bye, bye Miss American Pie. The Communists have won in America with Obama but failed miserably in Russia with Zyuganov who only received 17% of the vote. Vladimir Putin was re-elected as President keeping the NWO order out of Russia while America continues to repeat the Soviet mistake.
After Obama was elected in his first term as president the then Prime Minister of Russia, Vladimir Putin gave a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland in January of 2009. Ignored by the West as usual, Putin gave insightful and helpful advice to help the world economy and saying the world should avoid the Soviet mistake.
Recently, Obama has been re-elected for a 2nd term by an illiterate society and he is ready to continue his lies of less taxes while he raises them. He gives speeches of peace and love in the world while he promotes wars as he did in Egypt, Libya and Syria. He plans his next war is with Iran as he fires or demotes his generals who get in the way.
Wild Thing's comment.......................
How sad is that, to have a paper outside the USA saying this and it is true too.

Senate Republicans Warn They Will Shut Down The Senate If Harry Reid Goes Through With Unprecedented Plan To Change Filibuster Rules…
Senate Republicans Warn They Will Shut Down The Senate If Harry Reid Goes Through With Unprecedented Plan To Change Filibuster Rules…
A partisan war is brewing that could bring the government to a screeching halt as early as January — and no, it’s not over the fiscal cliff.
It’s all about the filibuster.
Democrats are threatening to change filibuster rules, in what will surely prompt a furious GOP revolt that could make those rare moments of bipartisan consensus even harder to come by during the next Congress.
Here’s what Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is considering: banning filibusters used to prevent debate from even starting and House-Senate conference committees from ever meeting. He also may make filibusters become actual filibusters — to force senators to carry out the nonstop, talkathon sessions.
Republicans are threatening even greater retaliation if Reid uses a move rarely used by Senate majorities: changing the chamber’s precedent by 51 votes, rather than the usual 67 votes it takes to overhaul the rules.
“I think the backlash will be severe,” Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), the conservative firebrand, said sternly. “If you take away minority rights, which is what you’re doing because you’re an ineffective leader, you’ll destroy the place. And if you destroy the place, we’ll do what we have to do to fight back.”
“It will shut down the Senate,” the incoming Senate GOP whip, Texas Sen. John Cornyn, told POLITICO. “It’s such an abuse of power.”

Every regulation has a compliance cost. Think of it as a tax.
The real point of this was that the government withheld what they intended to do until after the election. Since regulations do not have to pass congress, there is little the public can do once the President is reelected.

Obama won, Obamacare is the law.
Now, don’t get me wrong, Obamacare is awful. Forget all the “free stuff” it provides. Children covered on their parents’ plan until 26 years of age? A scam, making young adults — excuse me, children — pay for complete, comprehensive health insurance when all they need and should pay for is major catastrophe insurance. Then there is the “annual ” or “preventative” exam, which according to Obamacare is “free.”
You gotta love this stuff. I wish I had the chutzpah of the people who wrote Obamacare. What they did not tell you, and I am, is that it covers absolutely nothing more than the bare minimum.
I have now posted a notice in my office and each exam room stating exactly what Obamacare will cover for those yearly visits. Remember Obama promised this as a free exam — no co-pay, no deductible, no charge. That’s fine and dandy if you are healthy and have no complaints. However, we are obligated by law to code specifically for the reason of the visit. An annual exam is one specific code; you can not mix this with another code, say, for rectal bleeding. This annual visit covers the exam and “discussion about the status of previously diagnosed stable conditions.” That’s the exact wording under that code — insurance will not cover any new ailment under that code.
If you are here for that annual exam, you will not be covered if you want to discuss any new ailment or unstable condition. I cannot bait and switch to another code — that’s illegal. We, the physicians, are audited all the time and can lose our license for insurance fraud.
You, the patient, will then have to make a decision.
Do you want your “free” yearly exam, or do you want to pay for a visit which is coded for a particular, new problem? You can have my “free” exam if you only discuss what Obamacare wants me to discuss.
This happened to me personally, as a patient, when I went for my physical. It is the law. If you are complaining of a new problem, then you have to reschedule, since Obamacare is very clear as to what is covered and what is not. Obamacare — intentionally — makes it as difficult to be seen and taken care of as possible.
Patients can be very tricky. I have had patients make an “annual” exam, only to want to discuss and be treated for another ailment. I can’t do it.
I can hear the complaints from you guys already — I become the bad guy. “Why don’t you just take care of the problem, and not bill out any different code? You’re a rich doctor, and we are entitled to free stuff.”
It doesn’t work that way. First, doctors are not rich and, like most of you, actually work terribly hard for a living. Second, Obamacare is the law — and as I said earlier, we are audited all the time now.
Also — I don’t ask for free gas when I go to the gas station, or ask for free food from the supermarket. Additionally, Obamacare has a 23% cut in Medicare reimbursement to doctors and hospitals.
These lower payments won’t cover the cost of staying in practice to take care of the patient.
Private doctors are becoming a thing of the past. By 2014, less than 25% of physicians will be in private medicine. Obama was right in stating you can keep your doctor if you want to — the problem is he or she will rarely be available.
On top of all of that, doctors will be obligated — that’s right, obligated — to talk to you about things you may have no interest or need to talk about.
You may just want to have a pap smear or check your cholesterol. However, I am now mandated by the government to talk to you about your weight, exercise, family life, smoking, sexual abuse(!), and even to ask if you wear seat belts. And I am mandated to record your answers.
I am a physician. But I need to tell you to wear a seat belt and then record your answer.
I have received interesting responses from my patients since I put up the notice. Almost all are supportive and totally understand. The very few who complain? The same patients who always ask for free samples, who always complain that we do not validate parking. These are also the same patients who call my office and ask for free samples even when they are not even being seen.
Obamacare and its 2,000-plus pages are here to stay. I will still give my patients 100% of my time, energy, and knowledge. I still love being a doctor — my patients’ doctor. I will, however, abide by the law and follow it to the letter. I will have to learn this new dance. “Free” has its price.

Food Stamp Recipients Outnumber Population Of 24 States Combined ~ Obama Voters Love This
Food Stamp Recipients Outnumber Population Of 24 States Combined
Breitbart News
An analysis by Breitbart News has found that the number of individuals on food stamps now exceeds the combined populations of 24 states and the District of Columbia.
In November, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that a record 47,102,780 individuals receive food stamps.
According to US. Census Bureau data, that figure exceeds the combined populations of: Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
ince January 2009, the number of individuals on food stamps has skyrocketed from 31.9 million to the current record high 47.1 million. By comparison, in 1969 just 2.8 million Americans received food stamps.
Also benefiting from the rapid rise in food stamps are companies like JP Morgan who administer Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards. A recent report by the Government Accountability Institute found that since 2004, JP Morgan's 24 state EBT contracts have totaled at least $560,492,596.02.
Last year, the food stamp program (officially known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP) cost taxpayers $72 billion, more than double the $30 billion spent four years ago.
The meteoric rise in the number of individuals receiving food stamps has spawned a thriving illegal online market for those seeking to turn their benefits into cash.
Today, one out of every seven Americans now receives food stamps.

IMO however Obama is only partly to blame. Those that voted for him, and those that did not vote for Mitt Romney will be the ones to add to the reason our country will be destroyed. Honestly I am equally disgusted with all I mentioned.

Report: Jeb Bush Considering 2016 Presidential Bid - NO thank you!!!!!
Report: Jeb Bush Considering 2016 Presidential Bid…
Daily Caller
Friends of Jeb Bush say the former Florida governor is starting to mull a run for president in 2016, according to the The New York Times.
The newspaper says the Republican – whose father and brother were both president – is “weighing financial and family considerations.”
Those considerations include the length of time he’s spent in office, how the recession hurt his wealth and whether Republicans are ready to nominate another Bush.
“It continues to intrigue him, given how much he has to share with the country,” Al Cardenas, the chairman of the American Conservative Union, said of Bush.
Earlier this week, his son, Jeb Bush Jr., seemed to indicate that Bush is open to a campaign by saying in a CNN interview, “I certainly hope so,” when asked if his father will run.
It’s believed that Florida Sen. Marco Rubio – who considers Bush to be a mentor and is thought to have national ambitions– would likely not embark on a campaign for president if Bush decided to run.

Planned Parenthood Offers Black Friday Discounts on Abortions...Kill your baby and get a discount, Obama would love this
Planned Parenthood Offers Black Friday Discounts on Abortions
LifefNews reported:
A Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in southern Florida is offering a black Friday discount — including $10 off a visit to the abortion center today.
Planned Parenthood of South Florida and the Treasure Coast offered the special, saying, “Visit our West Palm Beach or Kendall Health Center for special after Thanksgiving savings on Friday, November 23rd.”
Pro-life blogger Jill Staneknoticed the Black Friday discount and responded, “Planned Parenthood brings new meaning to the term, “Black Friday,” doesn’t it?”
This is the same abortion business where the chair of the national Democratic party headlined a small rally last year.

One has to think that Planned Parenthood knows if this discount thing would be a big hit or why would they do it. Which tells me how much the left loves to kill their innocent babies. Obama does we know that with all his baby killing agenda he has done in his first term of presidency.

Obama Blocks Off 9.6 Million Acres for Spotted Owl Costing Lumber Industry Billions of Dollars
Obama Blocks Off 9.6 Million Acres for Spotted Owl in California, Oregon and Washington Costing Lumber Industry Billions of Dollars
On Thanksgiving Eve, the Obama Administration blocked off another 9.6 million acres in California, Oregon and Washington for the Spotted Owl. The move will cost the logging industry in this region billions of dollars.
Oregon Live reported:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service designated 9.6 million acres of critical habitat for the northern spotted owl this morning, nearly double the last designation in 2008.
The acreage in Oregon, Washington and California won’t be off limits to logging. But the service’s decision requires heightened federal review of logging projects on lands owned by the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, the bulk of the designated land.
The northern spotted owl has been at the center of the Northwest’s timber wars since it was listed as threatened in 1990 under the Endangered Species Act.
The listing better protected old-growth stands — the owl’s favored habitat — but drove down logging on federal lands. Harvests in Oregon’s federal forests totaled a half-billion board feet last year, down from 2.5 billion to 5 billion board feet in the 1980s.
Timber industry groups warned the expanded critical habitat could dampen efforts to increase logging on BLM lands in southwest Oregon, where rural counties are banking on revenues from increased timber sales.
The expanded area is also likely to increase lawsuits from environmental groups on individual timber sales across the spotted owl’s range, said Jim Geisinger, executive vice president of Associated Oregon Loggers.

Greta Van Susteren: The Obama Administration Is Playing Dirty – They Are Trying to Punish FOX
Greta Van Susteren: The Obama Administration Is Playing Dirty – They Are Trying to Punish FOX
For over two months the Obama Administration has been punishing FOX News because FOX alone
dared to report the truth on the Benghazi terrorist attack while the rest of the Obama-media ignored
the scandal.
GretaWire:
The Obama Administration is playing dirty. Trying to put a price tag on access — either a news organization plays ball and accepts what they dish out without challenge, or the news organization is excluded, punished. Check this out:
Fox News has been aggressively reporting on Benghazi because it is newsworthy when 4 Americans are MURDERED and because it was obvious the Obama Administration was telling “silly stories” that didn't’ make sense and were not supported by the facts. The Administration’s Benghazi story got more curious when the Administration sent out Ambassador Susan Rice to sell the silly stories on 5 news shows. Two months later, the American people still don’t have the straight story. It is our job to get the facts. We are trying.
The Obama Administration has done everything but give us the straight story and they are fighting us on getting the facts.
And why do I say the Obama Administration should grow up? Because the Obama Administration is trying to punish Fox for trying to get the facts from the Administration (do I need to remind anyone that 4 Americans were murdered?) The Administration in what looks like a coordinated effort is denying Fox access to information that they are handing out to other news organizations. Why exclude Fox? That is simple – to punish — to try to teach us a lesson not to pry, not to look further for facts.
And why do I say the Obama Administration should grow up? Because the Obama Administration is trying to punish Fox for trying to get the facts from the Administration (do I need to remind anyone that 4 Americans were murdered?) The Administration in what looks like a coordinated effort is denying Fox access to information that they are handing out to other news organizations. Why exclude Fox? That is simple – to punish — to try to teach us a lesson not to pry, not to look further for facts.
Here is my proof. The Administration is now 3 out of 3:
1/ The State Department called a media conference call the night before its employees testified on Capitol Hill and OMITTED FOX FROM THE CALL; (they claimed it was an accidental oversight);
2/ About 2 weeks after the above State Department conference call to all in the media, the CIA had a media wide briefing and released their timeline. The CIA invited major news organizations to the briefing but THE CIA EXCLUDED FOX FROM THOSE INVITED TO THE BRIEFING
3/ and now the latest…. DNI Director James Clapper told Capitol Hill last week that the DNI did not know who took the term Al Qaeda out of the talking points that was given to Ambassador Susan Rice. It turns out that is not true and the DNI released a memo to the media last night indicating that DNI Director James Clapper was wrong last week when he said that (incidentally two plus months after the murders.) The DNI / Intelligence removed Al Qaeda from the talking points memo given to Ambassador Susan Rice. But that’s not all – it isn’t just the “who is on first” at the DNI, it is also what the DNI did to Fox last night. The DNI LEFT FOX NEWS CHANNEL OFF ITS DISTRIBUTION LIST last night when it released this new memo to the media.
You know why Fox is left out 3 out of 3. We at Fox are not simply accepting what they say, what they dish out. We are looking for facts and corroboration when there are inconsistencies and discrepancies. To the extent we get anything wrong is because the Administration is doing whatever it can to thwart us from getting the facts.
They are trying to punish us into going away — hoping we get their message that we will never have access to them as long as we dare to challenge what they put out. And guess what? What they have put out and what we have challenged shows they are cagey and not giving the straight story.
PS – The above note about the Obama Administration and my admonition that it should “grow up” is what I think. The American people deserve the facts, they deserve the truth. The Administration is acting in a disgraceful manner.
I have no idea what my colleagues think or what Fox Management thinks. I have not spoken to any of them about this. I speak only for myself and not for Fox.

So Much for the Truce....Hamas Cannot Keep their word...Twelve rockets hit Israel after truce
Twelve rockets hit Israel after truce
AFP - Twelve rockets fired from the Gaza Strip hit Israel on Wednesday in the first hours that followed a ceasefire agreement ending hostilities in the week-long Gaza conflict, a police spokesman told AFP.
The Israeli spokesman added that the attacks caused no injuries or damage, with the rockets mostly landing in open fields in the south of the Jewish state.
A ceasefire agreement announced in Cairo on Wednesday went into effect at 1900 GMT, requiring both sides to halt fire immediately and for Israel to start opening Gaza's crossings if the truce holds for 24 hours.
The Israeli defence forces said a total of 915 rockets had hit Israel since the start of the conflict on November 14, most of the them landing in southern Israel.
Another 429 rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome air defence system that Israel acquired from the United States.
The strikes killed five Israelis, including a soldier. At least 155 Palestinians were killed by the Israeli bombardment that came to a halt on Wednesday night.

Obama Announces $6 Billion To Promote Clean Energy … In Asia…
The White House announced the federal government will spend $6 billion over four years for a “sustainable energy future” plan with Asian countries that involves loaning tax dollars to other countries to increase their purchasing power for U.S. technology, services and equipment.
“Recognizing that energy and the environment are among the most pressing issues confronting our region, President Obama, in partnership with Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei and President of the Republic of Indonesia Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, today proposed the U.S.-Asia Pacific Comprehensive Partnership for a Sustainable Energy Future,” the White House announced Tuesday as Obama visits Asian Pacific countries.
The initiative comes after the Obama administration has been criticized for spending billions to subsidize U.S.-based green energy companies that went on to declare bankruptcy, including Solyndra, Ener1, A123, Beacon Power and other failed renewable energy ventures.

“I stand proudly today–and every day–as an ally to the transgender community and to every person and family impacted by anti-transgender bullying and violence,” she said. “Transgender people are part of the diversity that America celebrates today and they, like every American, deserve to live without fear of prejudice or violence.”

It’s an Obama Thanksgiving… Food Pantry Sees 400% Increase in Demand
It’s an Obama Thanksgiving… Food Pantry Sees 400% Increase in Demand
47.1 million Americans were on food stamps last month – an all-time record. This report that usually comes out early in the month was delayed until after the election.
More Americans will use food stamps to buy their Thanksgiving dinner this year than ever before, according to a new report from the nonprofit government watchdog group The Sunlight Foundation.
Usage of food stamps among low and no-income families has spiked since the collapse of the U.S. financial system four years ago. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, average participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or food stamp program, has increased 70 percent since 2007. And economists have warned that usage of food stamps won't go down until unemployment improves.
This Thanksgiving, 42.2 million Americans will be on food stamps, according to the Economic Policy Institute. This is roughly the size of the populations of California and Connecticut combined.
Not surprisingly, feeding millions of Americans isn't cheap. The cost of the SNAP program last year reached $72 billion, the highest to date, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

PETA President To Obama: Turkeys Suffered Just Like Blacks And Gays
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) sent a letter to the White House on Tuesday demanding President Obama skip the annual Thanksgiving turkey pardon.
While Obama will be preventing a turkey from being carved up, PETA called the ceremony outdated and accused the president of being in partnership with the “turkey-killing industry.”
In a letter, the animal rights group argues the annual White House ceremony “makes light of the mass slaughter of some 46 million gentle, intelligent birds.” It also says the annual event “portrays the United States president as being in some sort of business partnership with the turkey-killing industry.”
“You understand so well that African-Americans, women, and members of the LGBT community have been poorly served throughout history, and now I am asking you to consider other living beings who are ridiculed, belittled, and treated as if their sentience, feelings, and very natures count for nothing,” wrote PETA President Ingrid Newkirk in the letter.

Krauthammer on Benghazi Attack: Who Changed The Talking Points?
Krauthammer on Benghazi Attack: Who Changed The Talking Points?
Conflicting Reports on Benghazi Attack Leave Many Asking Who Changed the CIA Talking Points and Why?
There is conflicting information coming out of the hearings on the attack in Benghazi, Libya that killed four Americans. The CIA talking points that Ambassador Susan Rice used when she appeared on Sunday talk shows were reportedly altered so that mention of terrorists was taken out.
Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer weighed in on Special Report tonight. He said the one fact that’s now agreed upon by Democrats and Republicans is that “the intelligence community had given a report, an assessment, on [September] 14th that said it was a preplanned attack; and when Susan Rice spoke on the 16th it all of a sudden had become a riot out of control.”
He came to the conclusion that between the intelligence assessment on the 14th and the 16th, someone changed the talking points. That leaves the following questions: who changed it, why, and was it changed to protect the Obama administration during an election?
Wild Thing's comment..................
I really think Obama changed the talking points.

Why Federally mandated healthcare exchanges and medicaid expansion will drive America over the fiscal cliff
Why Federally mandated healthcare exchanges and medicaid expansion will drive America over the fiscal cliff
by Gov. Rick Perry
USA TODAY
11/18/2012
t's really far past time for us to call ObamaCare what it truly is: an unprecedented government overreach into every American's life, forcing higher costs on individuals, practitioners, employers and state governments in lieu of actually fixing our health care system.
The core elements of this plan revolve around forcing individuals to buy health insurance and expecting states to add millions more people to their already-strained Medicaid systems.
Another part of the plan is equally duplicitous: the so-called state insurance exchanges.
Setting aside the obvious fact that health insurance is readily available under current conditions — the problem has been price, not availability — these exchanges represent nothing more than another federal power grab in the guise of a supposedly free market.
States were given the option to set up and execute their own exchanges — at their own expense. The fine print, however, specified that the exchanges would have to follow all rules and guidelines imposed by the federal government, with little to no flexibility. The kicker: Many of these rules and regulations are unknown.
Again, this is par for the course as we continue down the road to fiscal disaster at the hands of ObamaCare.
In Texas, Medicaid spending already accounts for nearly 25% of our general revenue spending, and its costs are only expected to continue skyrocketing.
While the president has promised to subsidize states for Medicaid costs in the near term, in the long term, states are going to be on their own.
ObamaCare has already begun to affect many companies, too, with some publicly announcing plans for layoffs in order to make up for increased insurance-related costs.
We need to concentrate our resources on developing a plan that will provide a safety net for the most vulnerable, while being an effective and efficient use of taxpayer money. The alternative in place — adding more people to an already sinking ship paid for either by borrowing from China or by raiding taxpayers' pockets — is simply bad policy.
By rejecting the Medicaid expansion, as called for under ObamaCare, as well as state insurance exchanges, some states can buy a little time before a total budgetary collapse. But the longer ObamaCare remains the law of the land, the closer we're all coming to that grim reality.

Republican Rep. Steve King echoed Mitt Romney’s recent remark that President Barack Obama won the race by giving “gifts” to voters
King: presidential election was ‘Santa Claus versus personal responsibility’
At Iowa Republican Gov. Terry Branstad’s birthday fundraiser on Saturday night, Republican Rep. Steve King echoed Mitt Romney’s recent remark that President Barack Obama won the race by giving “gifts” to certain demographics.
“Well, he did,” King told The Daily Caller, when asked for his thoughts on Romney’s comment that Obama had promised gifts to Hispanics, blacks and young voters. “It was Santa Claus versus personal responsibility and fiscal responsibility.”
King said that, in his analysis, too much of the electorate wants to rely on government.
“I think that I’d characterize it a little bit differently. I think that the people who voted for dependency outnumbered the people who voted for personal responsibility,” King said. “Obama promised, and those promises resonated with people who decided that they would rather be dependent upon government, rather than have their freedom and their opportunity to have a real, vigorous economy. So that’s what I think was the dividing philosophy.”
Romney also struggled with turnout among conservative voters, King added, noting that on Election Day the Republicans lost ground with groups like Hispanics and blacks, relative to how the party normally polled.
Wild Thing's comment...................
I am fed up with the idiot Republicans bashing Romney because he spoke the truth. Not only that but the day before Rush Limbaugh had said the same thing when he referred to Obama as Santa Claus to his voters.
Bobby Jindal, Chris Christie and all the others have been mouthing off attacking Romney and they better realize it is not going over well their attacks on Romney with many that supported Mitt and are tired of the Republicans eating their own.

Pelosi Says Dems Will Accept No Fiscal Cliff Deal That Doesn’t Crush Small Business Owners With Tax Hike…
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi says she’s hopeful lawmakers can come to a deal to avoid a year-end “fiscal cliff” but any agreement has to include tax rate increases for the wealthy.
She tells ABC’s “This Week” that she can’t accept a deal that caps deductions and closes some loopholes but does not alter current tax rates for the wealthy.
The California Democrat says “just to close loopholes is far too little money” and other ideas have to be considered. Republicans have suggested they are open to finding more revenues.
Lawmakers are facing expiration of the George W. Bush-era tax deductions and across-the-board spending cuts that automatically hit in January – the result of Congress’ failure to reach a deficit-cutting deal last year.

References To “Al-Qaeda” Were Ommitted From CIA’s Benghazi Talking Points By Someone In The Obama Administration
David Petraeus told lawmakers yesterday that early US intelligence fingered al Qaeda-affiliated terrorists — not crazed protesters — for the deadly attack on the US consulate in Benghazi.
But references to “al Qaeda” and “extremist” were omitted from the unclassified talking points once it left the CIA and went to the White House, said lawmakers who heard Petraeus’ bombshell closed-door testimony before the House and Senate intelligence committees.
“Nobody knows where it was changed,” fumed Rep. Pete King (R-LI), a member of the House Intelligence Committee.
“It was nobody in the intelligence community, so it goes to the Justice Department, State Department, White House — somewhere along the line,” he said.

Representative Peter King stated that former CIA Director David Petraeus stated that he knew the Benghazi attack was terrorism and that the talking points given to Ambassador Susan Rice were different from the ones prepared by the CIA. Petraeus stated Rice's talking points were edited to demphasized the possibility of terrorism.
FNC’s Catherine Herridge: CIA TALKING POINTS (what was ‘changed’
“A congressional source familiar with this week’s classified testimony tells fox news that the language in the CIA talking points about Benghazi was changed from “al Qaeda affiliated individuals to extremist organizations” which had the effect of minimizing the role of a terrorists in the attack.
Also, that Ambassador Rice had access to classified and unclassified information about Benghazi, and by September 16th, could have easily verified that the State Department agents interviewed by the FBI in Germany said there was no demonstration at the consulate n 9/11.”
CIA knew all along Benghazi attack was terrorism, Petraeus says.
Lawmakers said Petraeus testified that the CIA’s talking points written in response to the assault on the consulate in Benghazi that killed four Americans, including the U.S.
ambassador, referred to it as a terrorist attack. But Petraeus told the lawmakers it was removed by other federal agencies that made changes to the CIA’s draft.
Petraeus said he did not know who removed the reference to terrorism, Rep. Peter King told reporters.
Mr. King said Petraeus had briefed the House committee on Sept. 14, and he did not recall Petraeus being so positive at that time that it was a terrorist attack. “He thought all along that he made it clear there was terrorist involvement,” King said. “That was not my recollection.”
Mr. King also said that to this day, it’s still not clear how the final talking points emerged that were used by U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice five days after the attack, when the White House sent her to appear in a series of television interviews.
Thank you Greta Van Susteren....she has been doing a great job on this.
I don’t buy it…: This is what is not believable. Today General Petraeus is saying, per reports, that he always .
This is why I don’t believe it…something remains fishy.
Today General Petraeus is saying, per reports, that he always thought it was terrorism.
But review the history:
On September 14, 3 days after the terrorism at Benghazi, he told Member of Congress the video / spontaneous protest story.
Today, November 16, he is saying (or massaging) his September 14 story and now saying he somehow meant to or tried to convey on September 14 that it was terrorism. Is that true?
Here is why I don’t believe it: if that were true, that he was committed to telling the American people the TRUTH on September 14, that it was terrorism and not the silly video story, why didn’t he LATER CORRECT the false story with a public statement (or even a private call to the other story tellers to stop them from doing it?)
He had so so so much opportunity to correct the record and he had to know what was being said by others and in the press and by Members of House and Senate. He could have corrected it publicly or even privately to those who continued the silly story to stop them. Why didn’t he?
Remember, the false stories CONTINUED after the 14th:
1/ Ambassador Susan Rice on September 16
2/ President Obama on Letterman
3/ President Obama on THE VIEW…
....and there are other times the silly story was pedaled. General Petraeus had lots and lots and lots of chances to STOP the silly story and to CORRECT the silly story. He did not.
.
Rep. Peter King: If I Had to Presume, I’d Say Someone in the Obama Administration Removed Al Qaeda References From CIA Talking Points on Libya Attack
In an exclusive interview, Megyn Kelly sat down with Congressman Pete King to discuss General Petraeus’ testimony this morning on the September 11 Benghazi attack, and particularly the talking points about the attack prepared by the CIA. According to King, the CIA’s original talking points on the attack specifically mentioned Al Qaeda and Al Qaeda’s involvement in the attack. King said, “They [the talking points] left the CIA, went through a whole process, which I believe included the White House, and when the talking points were finalized, all the references to Al Qaeda were taken out and it was put in almost as an afterthought saying there were indications of extremist involvement in the demonstration.”
The primary question at hand, according to King, is who changed those talking points and why. “If I had to presume, I’d say it was somebody in the administration had to have taken it out, because it was nobody in the Director of National Intelligence Office, nobody in the CIA that did it. So, it was someone else that did it. And I doubt if the State Department or the Defense Department or the Justice Department would be involved in taking that out,” he said.

This all comes back to Obama and everyone knows it. Nothing happens in any administration without the person in the top signing off on it. It would be impossible for Obama to be in the dark about all of this.

Arizona Gun Store Owner Tells Customers: If You Voted For Obama “Your Business Is Not Welcome Here”
Arizona Gun Store Owner Tells Customers: If You Voted For Obama “Your Business Is Not Welcome Here”....
“You have proven that you are not responsible enough to own a firearm.”
A gun shop in Arizona has a clear message to would-be customers who happened to vote for President Barack Obama: take your business elsewhere.
The Southwest Shooting Authority in Pinetop, Ariz. took out an advertisement last week in the local newspaper, the White Mountain Independent, that spelled out the store’s new policy in explicit terms.
“If you voted for Barack Obama your business is not welcome at Southwest Shooting Authority,” the ad reads. “You have proven that you are not responsible enough to own a firearm.”
A sign on the store’s front door contains a similar message. Cope Reynolds, the owner of the Southwest Shooting Authority, posted a letter on the website AmmoLand shortly after the election last week to explain his motives, writing that his personal convictions trump profit:
To Whom it May Concern:
I thought you all might be interested in this.
We will try to demonstrate once again that the bottom line for our business is principle, not money.
Yes, it has been damaging at times but our values are intact.
Effective immediately, if you voted for Obama, your money is no good here. You have proven beyond a doubt that you are not responsible enough to own a firearm. We have just put a sign up on the front door to save you the trouble of walking all the way in here…
I took this ad out in our local paper. It will come out in the White Mountain Independent tomorrow, 9 November
Sincerely,
Cope Reynolds

Typical, Jealous, Low IQ Unions To Launch Major Class Warfare Ad Campaign Demanding Tax Hikes On The “Rich”
Unions To Launch Major Class Warfare Ad Campaign Demanding Tax Hikes On The “Rich”…
Several major labor unions are banding together to launch an ad campaign next week urging members of Congress to raise tax rates on the wealthiest Americans and to protect entitlement programs from major cuts as a solution to the looming fiscal cliff, a source with knowledge of the effort told CNN Friday.
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the Service Employees International Union and the National Education Association are banding together for this campaign, which will be launched next week.
The effort will include a “six figure” buy of television ads, as well as ads online, the source told CNN.
The groups will argue, using new polling data, that the public does not favor major cuts in entitlement programs like Medicaid, but wants to see a solution to curbing the nation’s deficit based on raising the tax burden on the wealthier parts of the population, as well as policies that encourage job growth.

They claim to be fighting for the middle class but they support a crushing tax hike on small business owners.

House Committee: Obama Officials Using Secret Emails To Avoid Public Oversight
The House science committee is demanding the White House explain why top administration officials are using secret e-mail accounts and other techniques to conceal their taxpayer-paid activities from public oversight.
The evidence of officials’ efforts to evade transparency laws includes EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson’s use of the fake name “Richard Windsor”, and hidden e-mail accounts, according to a Nov. 16 letter sent by the committee to several White House officials, including Jackson.
The committee’s letters justified their startling statements with evidence published in The Daily Caller. The Caller’s report was based on an investigation by Chris Horner, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute and the author of a new book “The Liberal War on on Transparency.”
“The use of these [hidden] accounts could seriously impair records collection, preservation, and access, therefore compromising transparency and oversight,” said the letter, signed by committee chairman Rep. Ralph Hall.
The letter also asked Jackson’s office to provide all records related to “‘Richard Windsor’ or other aliases used by the EPA Administrator or senior management…. [plus] records relating to the establishment or use of dual, secondary, or non-public email accounts.”
The letter was not signed by the committee’s Democratic members.
Similar letters were sent to the White House counsel’s office, the EPA’s inspector general, the inspector generals at the Departments of Commerce and Energy, and to John Holdren, the controversial director of the White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy

A veritable shadow government, headed by Obama. That's just great.
So far lying, deception, double dealing, posturing, blame, and general charlatanism have worked well for BHO. Why should he stop? He lied in the debates. Didn't matter. He lied about Medicare. Didn't matter. He lied about Benghazi. Didn't matter. The Press doesn't seem to care and keeps fawning.

No Reality With Egomaniac As Obama Claims People Who Didn’t Vote For Him Also Support His Plans To Raise Taxes…
Obama Claims People Who Didn’t Vote For Him Also Support His Plans To Raise Taxes…
Barack Obama took his so-called ‘mandate‘ to raise taxes on the rich a step further today, claiming at a press conference that not only do the majority of Americans agree with him on this issue, people who didn’t vote for him also support raising taxes on the rich.
Asked by a reporter if “closing loopholes instead of raising rates” would “satisfy” him, the President said that it wouldn’t, and mused that his stance on this issue ”shouldn’t be a surprise to anybody” at this point.
“If there was one thing that everybody understood was a big difference between myself and Mr. Romney, it was, when it comes to how we reduce our deficit, I argued for a balanced, responsible approach, and part of that included making sure that the wealthiest Americans pay a little bit more,” the President said, adding that, “I think every voter out there understood that that was an important debate, and the majority of voters agreed with me, not — by the way, more voters agreed with me on this issue than voted for me.”

Nancy Pelosi Confuses 11th And 14th Amendments: “Whatever It Is, I’m With The Constitution”…
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) confused the 14th and 11th Amendments when suggesting the president could bypass Congress and unilaterally raise the debt ceiling, saying, “Whatever it is, I’m with the constitution.”
During her weekly press conference on Capitol Hill on Thursday, Pelosi was asked about the need for two separate deals in Congress to both raise the approaching debt ceiling and address the expiration of the Bush era tax cuts.
“I would hope not,” Pelosi said. “I would hope that by now—well, me, I’m with the 11th Amendment, so.”
“Is it the 11th Amendment?” she asked. “That—14th is it?”
“Whatever it is, I’m with the Constitution of the United States,” said the Minority Leader.

Denny's to charge 5% 'Obamacare surcharge' and cut employee hours to deal with cost of legislation
Denny's to charge 5% 'Obamacare surcharge' and cut employee hours to deal with cost of legislation
Obama's election victory ensured his Affordable Care Act would remain the centerpiece of his first term in power - but that has left some business owners baulking at the extra cost Obamcare will bring.
Florida based restaurant boss John Metz, who runs approximately 40 Denny's and owns the Hurricane Grill & Wings franchise has decided to offset that by adding a five percent surcharge to customers' bills and will reduce his employees' hours.
With Obamacare due to be fully implemented in January 2014, Metz has justified his move by claiming it is 'the only alternative. I've got to pass on the cost to the customer.'
The fast-food business owner is set to hold meetings at his restaurants in December where he will tell employees, 'that because of Obamacare, we are going to be cutting front-of-the-house employees to under 30 hours, effective immediately.'
"I think it's a terrible thing. It's ridiculous that the maximum hours we can give people is 28 hours a week instead of 40,' said Metz to the Huffington Post.
'It's going to force my employees to go out and get a second job.'
Obamacare requires businesses or franchises with more than 50 workers must offer an approved insurance plan or pay a penalty of $2,000 for each full-time worker over 30 workers.
The program mandates that only employees working more than 30 hours a week are covered under their employers health insurance plan, chains like Olive Garden and Red Lobster are already considering reduced worker hours.
'Obviously, I'd love to cover all our employees under that insurance,' said Metz.
'But to pay $5,000 per employee would cost us $175,000 per restaurant and unfortunately, most of our restaurants don't make $175,000 a year. I can't afford it.'
Several other restaurants including Papa John's, Apple Metro and Jimmy John's have announced plans to skirt Obamacare by reducing employees hours to make them part-time.
Indeed, Metz is adding the surcharge because he believes that eventually firms will be fined for not covering staff who complete over 30-hours in a week,
In November, a poll for Kaiser Health Tracking found that 43 percent of the United States had a favourable opinion of Obamcare, while 39-percent had an unfavourable one.
'Instead of indirectly charging customers by raising prices, he is directly charging and making a political statement,' said Paul Fronstin, director of the health research program at the Employee Benefit Research Institute in Washington.
'Potentially 43 percent of this person's customers may find the explicit charge a turnoff, and vote with their feet and their money and choose not to eat there.'
Despite this, Metz has admitted he is willing to take the heat should the decision backfire on him.
'We're trying to get more restaurant operators rallied around the concept of adding a 5 percent surcharge to their bill to cover the costs of Obamacare as opposed to raising prices,' he said.
Earlier this week Papa John's CEO John Schnatter told shareholders in a conference call this week that Obamacare would cost the company 11 to 14 cents per pizza, a cost that would be passed on to customers.

Obama's Pro-Abortion PACs Credit Their Fear Mongering For Obama’s Re-Election: We “Kept Independent Women Scared”…
Obama won because we 'kept Independent women scared': Pro-abortion PACs
You can’t know what percentage is truth (if any), exaggeration, gloss, or hyperbole, but Planned Parenthood is not shy about taking credit for the re-election of pro-abortion President Barack Obama. But I confess not until I read a piece by Paul Bedard in his “Washington Secrets” yesterday did I understand how they made their case.
According to Bedard of the Washington Examiner, Dawn Laguens, executive vice president of Planned Parenthood, told an EMILY’s List post-election analysis panel (in Bedard’s words) that it “kep[t] Independent women scared long enough about Romney’s agenda for Obama to win them over.” (EMILY’s List is a high-powered PAC that funnels money exclusively to female Democrats who are the pro-est of pro-abortionists.)
Planned Parenthood’s strategy was to ignore women who had made their decision. Instead, beginning in June, they targeted “a whole group [of women] that, what it looked like we could do, is expand the amount of time they were willing to give the president and the economy to recover,” Laguens said. “So we could kind of hold them in ‘undecided’ by, in particularly in the presidency, by making Mitt Romney questionable in their mind on our set of issues.”
How did they keep the minds of independent women open to voting for Obama? “By warning how Romney would rob them of birth control and abortion,” according to Bedard’s paraphrase. In other words, “The effort had a simple strategy: Just get women, [who were] frustrated with the economy, to hold off deciding for Romney. ‘Don’t. Wait. Gotta learn more about this stuff,’ was the theme, said Laguens.”

Obama Confronted on Benghazi at White House Press Conference But Does Not Answer
Obama Confronted on Benghazi at White House Press Conference
Obama went after Republicans today in a complete Chicago-style rant.
“When they go after the UN Ambassador because they think she’s an easy target… They’ve got a problem with me.”
Susan Rice is not only incompetent, she is completely lost as ambassador.
The Washington Examiner has the transcript:
President Obama, irritated by Republican pledges to prevent Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice from receiving a promotion, said that Rice’s critics “have a problem with me.”
“When they go after the UN ambassador apparently because they think she’s an easy target, then they’ve got a problem with me,” Obama told reporters today. “And should I choose — if I think that she would be the best person to serve America in the capacity of the State Department [head] then I will nominate her, but that’s not a determination I’ve made yet.”
…“They should go after me, and I’m happy to have that discussion. But for them to go after the UN ambassador, who had nothing to do with Benghazi . . . to besmirch her reputation, is outrageous.”
So if the UN ambassador had nothing to do with Benghazi, why did the White House send her out to all of the networks to lie about the terrorist attack?
Obama’s Press Conference yesterday , his first in 8 months, where he was confronted by Fox News’ Ed Henry about Benghazi. Henry asked him if he issued any orders to send help to the Americans under attack at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, pointing out that the father of one of the dead said he feels like his son dialed 911 and got no help. Obama avoided the question, with Henry following up, not letting him off the hook. Obama used his “offended” response, saying “if anyone thinks” he didn’t do everything possible blah, blah, blah. But he never described any specific orders to send help – which was in the region – to help the Americans who where under attack for many hours.
arack Obama revealed at his press conference this afternoon that he is responsible for sending U.N. ambassador Susan Rice to speak to the American people a few days after the September 11 Benghazi terror attack.
“As I said before, she made an appearance at the request of the White House in which she gave her best understanding of the intelligence that had been provided to her,” Obama said at the press conference, defending the statements the ambassador to the U.N. made regarding the Benghazi attack.
Rice has been widely criticized for giving misleading statements about Benghazi. She maintained that the killing of four Americans stemmed for a spontaneous protest that got violent.
Obama playing the offended party (one of his specialties) at his Press Conference yesterday after being asked to respond to news that Sen. John McCain and Sen. Lindsey Graham will do everything they can to block a nomination of Susan Rice to be the Secretary of State in his second term. Obama said the two senators should “go after me” and not Rice because of her false comments that the attack was caused by a video.

Krauthammer Nails Obama To The Wall: “Why the Hell” Did You Have Rice Address Benghazi If She “Had Nothing To Do With It?”
Krauthammer Nails Obama To The Wall: “Why the Hell” Did You Have Rice Address Benghazi If She “Had Nothing To Do With It?”…
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: Well, you called it his one show of passion. I would say it was his usual show of indignation which is his default response whenever he feels defensive or backed into a corner. You know, “How dare you attack my UN ambassador?” And he gives the strangest defense by saying, “She didn’t have anything to do with the Benghazi affair.” Well then why the hell are you sending her out there? Why don’t you send, why didn’t you send out the Secretary of State or the CIA director or Panetta or somebody who did know?
And then he does play this sort of Lancelot defending the mistress in distress. You know, it made Mitt Romney and the binders with women look positively feminist in comparison. This kind of patronizing attack on the two male Senators who would dare attack the girl, which is what was intended in his tone. This is all its usual, you know, if you attack his pride he’ll strike you on that. And it was clearly defensive, and it was also a stonewall.
I mean, after all, what she said was absolutely and completely misleading either inadvertently, in which case is complete incompetence, or on purpose in which case it’s deception. And he basically he took the bait on that and said, “Look, that wasn’t her speaking. That was me speaking. If you want to pick on somebody, pick on me.”
Well how can anybody pick on him or even question him if he hasn’t had a press conference in eight months? You know, he clearly hasn’t been out there. He’s been hiding behind inquiries, behind investigations, and now behind Susan Rice.
But now I think he’s out there, and he’s vulnerable on this. I think he may regret having said that.

Lindsey Graham To Obama...." I hold you responsible for Benghazi:
Graham to Obama: I hold you responsible for Benghazi
he war of words over Benghazi escalated Wednesday when President Obama told his critics to "go after me" rather than Ambassador Susan Rice. Those critics then said they would do exactly that.
"Mr. President, don't think for one minute I don't hold you ultimately responsible for Benghazi. I think you failed as Commander in Chief before, during, and after the attack," said Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican.
The exchange came after Mr. Graham and Sen. John McCain said they would try to block Ms. Rice if Mr. Obama tapped her to become secretary of state. They said she hasn't done an exemplary job in her current post as ambassador to the U.N., and also said she has damaged her credibility because she inaccurately blamed the Sept. 11 terrorist attack in Benghazi on a mob protest.
Mr. Obama, in a press conference, angrily said his critics should instead go after him, and said Ms. Rice was only acting on behalf of the White House.
"She made an appearance at the request of the White House in which she gave her best understanding of the intelligence that had been provided to her. If Senator McCain and Senator Graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me," he said. "And I'm happy to have that discussion with them. But for them to go after the U.N. ambassador, who had nothing to do with Benghazi and was simply making a presentation based on intelligence that she had received and to besmirch her reputation is outrageous."

Good for Graham! He is right, I hold Obama responsible too.
You know what.....Obama was more upset about people talking about Susan Rice then he has been upset about the 4 dead Americans which as of today he has not shown to be upset at all.

Yesterday Vile Liar RON PAUL...said goodbye in farewell remarks on the House floor
Vile Liar POS RON PAUL...said goodbye in farewell remarks on the House floor ........: His Capitol Hill career began in 1976, and tonight Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) gave his swan song as a Member of Congress. We are not sad to see him go.
In his 52 minute address he was quick to denounce Israel, the national security community, the "warfare state," and advocated numerous proposals that are well to the left of the Obama administration.
All Republicans want to reduce the size of government and cut the deficit, and his rhetoric on these topics was often admirable. However, at the same time he would be working with liberals to stop the conservative agenda.
Our efforts are directed at liberal Democrats, but we also oppose a variety of isolationist and protectionist organizations associated with Dr. Paul. The news media often describes these groups as libertarian, but we call them neo-liberal.
They are neo-liberal because they are well to the left of the Obama Administration on defense, foreign policy, trade and war on terror issues. The best known neo-liberals are Dr. Paul and former Gov. Gary Johnson (NM), who has already left the GOP.
We support a border fence to stop illegal immigrants but Ron Paul opposes it because "it could be used to keep us in."
He blames the United States for 9/11 and his extreme isolationism would help terrorists. The GOP platform advocates serious reforms, but in Ron Paul's America, there would be no public schools, Social Security, Medicaid or Medicare.
The Federal Aviation Authority and its air traffic controllers would be abolished along with the CIA, FBI, the Patriot Act, and the FDA, which ensures the safety of food and drugs. He would allow states to legalize dangerous drugs.
Paul would also do nothing to stop the development of nuclear weapons by the Islamic Republic of Iran. He wants to abolish sanctions on Iran and abandon Israel. He would do nothing if the Jewish State is attacked, and believes it is wrong to stop weapons shipments to Hamas. He also believes the Osama bin Laden raid was wrong.
Ron Paul always attacks "neo-cons," but he is the real neo-con, neo-confederate. He believes the South was right in the Civil War.
Paul is a moral monster who would have done nothing about the Holocaust, slavery or segregation.
He is the only Republican in the House or Senate who opposes the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Dr. Paul believes Abraham Lincoln was our worst President, and "destroyed the original intent of the republic." The original intent of the republic was that all men are created equal.
The conservative movement has changed the debate successfully on taxing and spending, and the American people agree with its criticism of the liberal agenda. Conservatives are making progress but on the key legislative initiatives, Dr. Paul voted with the liberals.
His supporters praise him for being consistent, but unfortunately he is consistently wrong.
He was one of four Republicans to reject the Ryan budget to cut the deficit by $6.2 trillion. He was also one of four Republicans who continues to ask for earmarks in defiance of the GOP ban. He then rejected $2.4 trillion in cuts and was one of nine Republicans to oppose the “Cut, Cap and Balance Act” to put the nation on a path towards a balanced budget. He voted against it even though a month earlier he had signed a pledge to vote for it.
In addition, he is against a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Rep. Paul claims these initiatives were not sufficient, but he would not accept them as a starting point.
The defense budget is already being cut by $1.1 trillion over the next decade, but Ron Paul/Barney Frank bill would go further by gutting the Pentagon. They want to end all modernization and readiness programs.
The Bush administration was not in "glee" about the 9/11 attack, and we believe GOP leaders should stand up in opposition when Ron Paul and other neo-liberal Republicans makes these outrageous claims.
The "Ron Paul Revolution" is a cause and it was never about the presidential campaign. Its goal was to fundamentally change the Republican Party from conservative to radical libertarian. Paul’s claims about the Patriot Act, NDAA, FISA, “900 military bases around the world,” “the warfare state,” the "North American Union," an "Amero" currency, and Obama's executive order concerning the White House grounds are all lies.
The Federal Reserve is not owned or controlled by world bankers. No stock in any Federal Reserve Bank has ever been sold to foreigners. Paul's claim that we are paying interest to the Fed is false.
His "End The Fed" book does not tell the truth. Unfortunately, far too many Republicans believe this nonsense.
We do not want to remove anyone from the Republican Party, but we understand the frustration with Ron Paul and the party's anti-defense wing. "Weekly Standard" editor Bill Kristol says: “A lot of people when they criticize Ron Paul have to preface their comments by saying, ‘you know, he’s good guy, he brings a lot to the debate.' I actually don’t buy that. I do not think he’s a particular good guy. I think it would be better for the Republican party, if he left the Republican party.”

Senators prefer John Kerry over Susan Rice for Secretary of State
Senators prefer John Kerry over Susan Rice for Secretary of State
If Senate Republicans got to choose between Susan Rice and John Kerry for next secretary of state, it’d be no contest: Kerry by a landslide.
In interviews Tuesday, several GOP senators dissed the United Nations ambassador while giving the Massachusetts Democrat a ringing endorsement to succeed Hillary Clinton in the prestigious post. Rice and Kerry are reportedly high on President Barack Obama’s list of potential replacements.
It’s hardly a surprise many senators favor Kerry over Rice. They’ve served with him for years, enduring endless committee hearings and floor debates and occasionally even teaming up with him on legislation.
“I think he’d be much more easily confirmed in the Senate than Susan Rice,” said Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), a member of the Foreign Relations Committee that will hold confirmation hearings on the next secretary of state.
As senators returned to the Capitol on Tuesday, it was clear Rice’s public remarks on the Sept. 11 Libya assault would continue to dog her if Obama gives her the nod. Specifically, Republicans blasted her Sept. 16 statements on the Sunday talk show circuit that the deadly attack was triggered by “spontaneous” demonstrations against an anti-Islam YouTube video.
Republicans have insisted that the assault that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans was a terrorist attack — a position the White House later agreed with.
“It’s clear at a minimum she made misrepresentations and misstatements on Benghazi on every major news network and so I think those questions have to be answered,” Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) told POLITICO. “And so I have serious questions about her being put in the position of secretary of state.”
“Our intelligence officials in Libya, in real time while the event was taking place, were letting our folks know back here this was a terrorist attack,” added Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), who is expected to succeed outgoing Sen. Dick Lugar as the top Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee.
“It is beyond me that [Rice] would be out publicly talking about that event [as something sparked by a spontaneous demonstration]. It’s beyond belief.”
Those two senators did not threaten to filibuster Rice’s possible nomination, saying more questions needed to be answered. But Barrasso said her public remarks after the Libya attack meant that he could not support her.
“I think she disqualified herself as secretary of state because in that role you need to have somebody with sound judgement and who is able to ask tough questions in situations which are stressful,” Barrasso told reporters. “And I think she failed in light of Benghazi and the reports she did five days later.”
Corker’s concerns about Rice are significant, and the Foreign Relations panel has oversight of the State Department and would vote to confirm or reject Obama’s pick to replace Clinton. Kerry, a five-term senator and the committee’s chairman, is also a top prospect for the job, though a Washington Post report Tuesday suggested Obama is also considering him for defense secretary.
Kerry, a Vietnam veteran and the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, declined to comment when asked by POLITICO about whether he has had any conversations with Obama about the defense job.
“I don’t have any comment about anything that we’re doing,” Kerry said before ducking into a closed-door Foreign Relations Committee briefing on the Benghazi attack.
Some GOP senators acknowledged that the final decision rests with the president, but that didn’t stop them from stating their preference.
“I’d rather have John Kerry,” said Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), who is retiring at the end of the year and won’t get a vote on the president’s nominee next year.
“I think he’s well positioned, he’s experienced, I think he’d take the job and he’s not tainted with the kinds of things that would I think be a problem for Ambassador Rice.”
As for Rice, Kyl said her appearances on the Sunday shows are “a huge, huge issue for her.”
Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) defended Rice, saying she has done an “outstanding job” as U.N. ambassador to the U.S. But he said Kerry would benefit from his decades spent building relationships on Capitol Hill.
“Sen. Kerry is under consideration for a high position because he’s talented, has tremendous integrity and respect — he also happens to be a senator,” Cardin, who also serves on the committee, told POLITICO.
“Part of your responsibility in the administration is your relationship with the Senate and House, and obviously Sen. Kerry has an incredible relationship. I think colleagues on both sides of the aisle will tell you that.”
Lugar said Kerry “would be a very good choice” for Obama to appoint to the Cabinet as secretary of state or defense and predicted an easy confirmation.
“I’d think so,” Lugar (R-Ind.) told POLITICO when asked if he expected Kerry could get through the Senate vetting process. “I’m not certain I would understand opposition. He’s served so well in the Senate, as chairman of our committee.”
Lugar, who sits opposite Kerry atop the Foreign Relations Committee, said he didn’t think Obama should make his decision on whether to appoint Kerry based on the prospect that an open Massachusetts Senate seat could go to a Republican like outgoing Sen. Scott Brown in a special election.
“That seems to me not to be a very thoughtful reason for failing to nominate John for secretary of State,” Lugar said.
Both Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Mike Lee (R-Utah), who serve on the Foreign Relations panel, said they would reserve judgment until Obama makes his selection and they have a chance to interview the nominee.

I will never understand the weakness in our Republicans elected to office. They beg for money, beg for our votes then when they get in power their brain goes dead. They are way too concerned with being liked by those on the left. One can feel it in their comments, and too few don't give a damn and those IMO are the ones we need more of. Kerry is horrible and a traitor, Susan Rice is bad too. So why can't they just say neither one, would it kill them to be strong on this???? Sheesh!

Hillary Goes Wine Tasting in Australia Instead of Staying Home To Answer Questions About Benghazi
Hillary Goes Wine Tasting in Australia Instead of Staying Home To Answer Questions About Benghazi
Remember that “scheduling conflict” that was going to prevent Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from testifying at the closed Benghazi hearings? It’s a wine tasting with friends in Australia.
Few details of Ms Clinton’s visit on Wednesday and Thursday have been revealed, but it is understood she will visit close friends, one whom is connected to the Carnegie Mellon University. It also believed that:
- The 150-strong entourage is likely to visit Penfolds’ Magill Estate for either a wine tasting session or private function.
- The entourage has booked more than 100 rooms over several floors at the Intercontinental Hotel on North Tce.
- Heavy traffic restrictions are likely from late Wednesday ahead of her anticipated arrival that night.
- Her entourage will leave Adelaide on Friday morning.
Wild Thing's comment.......................
I guess getting drunk precludes testifying about the Benghazi cover-up. How convenient she finds herself on the other side of the planet slurping down some drinks while Congress attempts to get some answers on Benghazi.

Petraeus Personally Investigated Benghazi Attack
Petraeus Personally Investigated Benghazi Attack
ABC News
In late October, Petraeus traveled to Libya to conduct his own review of the Benghazi attack that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens.
While in Tripoli, he personally questioned the CIA station chief and other CIA personnel who were in Benghazi on Sept. 11 when the attack occurred.
The Libya stop was part of a six nation trip to the region. Petraeus intended the review as a way to prepare for his upcoming testimony before Congress on Benghazi.
"He was looking forward to testifying," a Petraeus friend told ABC News. "He wanted to be fully prepared."
Petraeus' friend described his investigation as Petraeus' "personal review" of both the Sept. 11 attack and the events leading up to it.
The trip was so recent that the CIA has told the Congressional Intelligence committees that the trip report has not yet been completed.
Petraeus' personal involvement in this investigation is one reason some in Congress are likely to insist he testify on Benghazi.
But now Petraeus is telling friends he does not think he should testify.
Petraeus has offered two reasons for wanting to avoid testifying: Acting CIA Director Morell is in possession of all the information Petraeus gathered in conducting his review and he has more current information gathered since Petraeus' departure; and it would be a media circus.
Wild Thing's comment...................
This entire thing is sickening, to see any president not care about the lives of Americans and Obama sure as heck could care less. He has proved that with Fast and Furious and now with Benghazi.

61 Million Americans Voted for Obama, 47 Million Americans are on Food Stamps
61 Million Americans Voted for Obama, 47 Million Americans are on Food Stamps
by Daniel Greenfield
The fascinating question would be to what extent these two sets of numbers overlap. What percentage of the Obama vote came from people on public assistance?
As a number of blogs have already noted, these figures, like the Petraeus resignation, were held back until after the election. They are probably part of a large list of figures that weren’t ready to be released until after the election. And we’re going to be seeing more and more of those over the next few weeks.
While the report is ordinarily released at either the end of the month, or no later than the first or second day of the following month, the Obama administration waited until November 9, a full three days after the election to announce the number of Americans currently receiving food stamps.
After seeing the data, it is not surprising why the administration delayed the report…
By the end of August 2012 (the most recent data), there were 47.1 million Americans on food stamps, a new all-time record high.
Another 420,947 Americans were added to the food stamp rolls from the previous month of July, representing the largest monthly increase in a year.
That’s almost half-a-million people in one month. In a recovery? You betcha. If we recover anymore, we’ll all be on food stamps.
What’s fascinating though is that food stamp use is now approaching the scale where that base alone can win elections.

Barack Obama promised liberal groups on Tuesday that the Bush tax cuts will end for the nation’s wealthiest, according to a statement from the progressive group MoveOn.
“MoveOn’s 7 million members will be pleased to know that President Obama today strongly reiterated his steadfast commitment to ensuring that the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest 2 percent finally end December 31—and to protecting the middle class in the process,” said the group’s political action executive director Justin Ruben after meeting with Obama at the White House.

Obama's Voter fraud, illegal activities reported in several states
Voter fraud, illegal activities reported in several states
As a result of Tuesday's presidential election, several reports are coming in of voter fraud by the Democratic Party, particularly in key states such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Colorado, and Florida where in St. Lucie County, the unofficial vote count showed 175,554 registered voters but 247,713 vote cards were cast coming to 141.10% .
At one particular polling place in the same county, they recorded 158.85% voter turnout which turned out to be the highest in the county.
From a website, "Barack Obama Voter Fraud 2012", an individual has been compiling reports of voter fraud by the Democrats and posting them with the intention to eventually submit them to Governor Mitt Romney, who lost to President Obama.
Some of the reports on the website include that ten counties in Colorado had 104 percent to 140 percent voter turnout while dozens of counties in Ohio had President Obama winning 100 percent of the vote.
The infamous New Black Panthers showed up in Philadelphia using nearly the same tactics as they did in the 2008 presidential elections with voter intimidation and it was reported that for a while, that about 70 Republican polling inspectors were prevented from being at several polling booths although later they were allowed back in.
In Chicago 4th ward, home of President Obama’s, the Weekly Standard reported with a photo, an election judge checking in voters while wearing an Obama hat, clearly in violation of election laws.
Further adding to the voter fraud reports, Joseph Farah, editor and CEO of WND.com stated today that he is pursing voter fraud with evidence that he has acquired and doesn't plan to give up.
Wild Thing's comment....................
The last few days there have been so many reports about voter fraud that Obama's people have done, it is shocking. Even though we all already know what they did in 2008, well they did even more this time.
**** I am having trouble with my computer and my blog. It is weird, it is not letting me post a link in a post. So I wanted you to know since I have always been careful about posting the links to articles. It will have to be this way until my computer guy can come to our home and take a look at what is happening.

Evidence of massive Obama voter fraud in Colorado! Ten counties show 104% to 140% turnout!
Evidence of massive Obama voter fraud in Colorado! Ten counties show 104% to 140% turnout! (CO)
A review of voter registration data for ten counties in Colorado details a pattern of voter bloat inflating registration rolls to numbers larger than the total voting age population. Using publicly available voter data and comparing it to U.S. Census records reveals the ten counties having a total registration ranging between 104 to 140 percent of the respective populations.
Counties such as Gilpin and Hinsdale have 110 percent of their populations registered to vote. Gilpin County has a total population of 5,441 with 17.4% of the population below the voting age, making the highest possible number of registered voters 4,494. Currently Gilpin County has 4909 registered voters. Hinsdale County has a total population of 830 with 20% of the population below the voting age, making the highest possible number of registered voters 664. At 110 percent registration, that means that there are 515 excess voter registrations in Gilpin county and 68 excess registrations for Hinsdale.

Obama Voter Fraud In Philly, PA. 90% Voter Turnout and 99% Voted for Obama
Philly Polling Stations Where GOP Inspectors Were Kicked Out Had 90% Voter Turnout, 99% Voted For Obama… (PA)
Across Philadelphia, GOP poll inspectors were forcibly (and illegally) removed from polling locations. Coincidentally (or not), Mr. Obama received “astronomical” numbers in those very same regions, including locations where he received “over 99%” of the vote.
Ward 4, which also had a poll watcher dressed in Obama attire, went massively for Obama. Mr. Obama received 99.5% of the vote, defeating Mr. Romney 9,955 to 55.
. . .Another problem: “Voter turnout in Philadelphia was around 60 percent, according to state election figures.” In these precincts it was well over 90%.
Wild Thing's comment.....................
This election was stolen.
All votes in 59 Philadelphia voting district went to Obama (100% of the vote) -- impossible! Not one single vote for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, not ONE!!!! If that would happened AGAINST Obama, there would be cries of bigoted racism galore!!!!

Communist Party USA celebrates Obama's re-election
Communist Party USA celebrates Obama's re-election
Sam Webb, leader of the Communist Party USA, "hailed the election of Party 'friend' Barack Obama, as the 'dawn of a new era.'”
Obama, as the 'dawn of a new era.'”
"The Party is cock-a-hoop over Obama’s victory, seeing it as both a repudiation of the conservative agenda and an opportunity to move the United States further towards socialism," Loudon wrote.
"The Communist Party said a year ago that the 2012 elections would be the main front of the class and democratic struggle, and subsequent events have confirmed that fact," Webb wrote at the Communist People's World.
Stewart Acuff went on to say that Communists must "act with boldness" to advance their cause and "push history forward."
Acuff also celebrated victories by Democrats at large and LGBT activists who won ballot measures legalizing gay marriage.
"We are at the dawn of a new era," Webb wrote.
From The Washington Times.........
"President Obama has succeeded in transforming America," Jeffrey T. Kuhner wrote. "The constitutional republic is dead. A socialist empire has been born. This is the true meaning — and historical significance — of Tuesday’s election."
Loudon warns Republicans that unless they change, things will get much worse.
"Until the Republicans realize that they are in a war for their country, and treat it as such, they will be outmaneuvered by the Communist/Labor/Democrat alliance," he wrote.
According to Loudon, they simply did not understand "the forces arrayed against them."
Loudon also says that Republicans must ceast to be "nice guys" and become "bare knuckle, knock em out fighters" if America is to survive the next four years.
"Winston Churchill didn’t compromise with the Nazis. Maggie Thatcher didn’t compromise with the British communist led unions. Ronald Reagan won by fighting hard and negotiating from a position of strength," he wrote.
"If the Republicans really want to save this country, they must take a hard line against the Democrats and their communist/union driven agenda. Reaching across the aisle to the Democrats is a recipe for defeat and disaster," he concluded.

Axelrod: President Obama Has Mandate To Raise Taxes
Axelrod: Obama Has Tax Mandate
National Journal
Obama has a mandate to raise taxes on wealthy Americans, senior campaign adviser David Axelrod said on Sunday on CBS’s Face the Nation.
Obama has threatened to veto any bill that that does not allow tax rates to rise on households that earn more than $250,000 a year. Asked if Obama has won a mandate with his election victory, despite winning by a small percentage, Axelrod did not answer directly, but said Obama had won a mandate on taxes.
“On this particular issue, it wasn't close,” Axlerod said, citing exit polling that show about 60 percent of voters agreed with Obama’s position on taxes.
“It is obvious that we can’t resolve the nation’s problems simply by cutting [spending],” Axelrod said. “Where is that revenue gonna come from? President Obama believes it is more equable for it to come from the wealthiest Americans, and most Americans agree with that.”

Obama-Land vs. the USA: The end of a Country, its People and Liberty
Obama-Land vs. the USA: The end of a Country, its People and Liberty
by Sher Zieve
Two-hundred-and-thirty six-years ago, a new country “conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal”* was born. Men and women seeking religious and economic freedom from an increasingly perverse, suppressive and feudal Europe sailed to ‘the New World’ which would later become the United States of America.
Most began to occupy this fresh and promising land in the 1600s. However, some intrepid souls began their journey into and through portions of North America much earlier. Such was the case of my ancestors who arrived on the shores of this new land in the 1500s. They were part of the original founding of this once extraordinary country and eagerly participated in and watched it being built. I morosely am now observing its end.
Over the many years it took to establish viable colonies in this New World, many experimental governments were attempted, including the one that we now call Socialism or Communism. Over a relatively short period of time, the colonists discovered that it did not and could not work. Those who labored the most were given the same portion as those who did little to nothing. Therefore, the true workers and entrepreneurs of the time were not truly recompensed for their labors, while the non-working groups continued to live off of the fruits of other’s successes…as if they were their own. Suffice it to say, this was untenable and a form of free enterprise began to percolate and appear. This was a system which rewarded those who worked and we eventually called it Capitalism…a structure that would imbue all participants with economic freedom as long as they worked for and participated in it.
For well over 200 years that economic freedom coupled with the freedom to worship God allowed We-the-People to build, prosper, enjoy the fruits of our labors and share our bounty with others around the world as no other nation in the history of mankind had done before. However, on 6 November, 2012 that all came crashing down. The Islamo-Marxist “President” of the United States of America Barack Hussein Obama was elected to another 4 years in office. I had hoped and fervently prayed that the prophetic words in my column ‘Is the USA Ready for an American Stalin?’ written in 2008 “if Obama is elected we will never be able to get rid of him” were not true. But, they were and are.
Whether many in the country choose to believe it or not, we are not only now facing an era of almost unbearable hardship but, the removal of any and all of our once-Constitutional liberties and rights as human beings. We are moving from the light back into the darkness of both body and soul. The elimination of the Obama syndicate’s enemies has already been reported as having issued from the lips of co-POTUS Valerie Jarrett. That should begin soon. Obama’s plan to turn the sovereignty of the USA over to the United Nations is already well under way. The UN Small Arms Treaty will be signed by Obama and it will effectively remove and replace the former Bill of Rights’ Second Amendment, while the First Amendment will be replaced with “hate speech” restrictions…punishable by new global laws.
The Obama government’s war on Christianity has been in play since the early months of his ‘presidency’. Soon, Christianity and Judaism will be replaced by Islam—which will be the official ’religion’ of the USA (see my 18 August 2010 column ‘ObamaGov Establishing Islam as Official USA State Religion?’) and our Constitution will finally and officially become null and void…to be replaced by Shari‘a law. ObamaCare will not now—nor ever—be repealed so, the Obama regime’s theft of what was left of our money will continue and his death panels will rise supreme over what’s left of our bodies. The new motto will likely be “If you cannot serve the State the ways in which the State demands, the State must terminate you.“
Congress will be rendered completely toothless and non-essential, as Obama has been working to affect since he first took office. Our economic and other systems designed for liberty of and for the individual are now dead and is only waiting to be buried.
The time to panic was November 2008—when Obama was elected to his first term. Too many refused to listen to the warnings and, instead, chose to listen to others who lied gently and soothingly to them that they would be told when it was so. The Roman philosopher and statesman Cicero advised us over a millennium ago that a nation cannot survive treason from within. Thus, neither will—nor can—the now-former United States of America. It has now come to its close as a nation. The shining city on the hill is no more and has been reduced to rubble.
May God be with us and—I pray—eventually lead us out of our now-inevitable bondage. But, it appears now that it will not be soon.

Did Obama Rig The Voting Machines?
Did Obama Rig The Voting Machines?
The mainstream media tried to downplay the massive amount of voting machines problems, but there were reported problems from coast to coast.
As reported in the Wikileaks Stratfor email dump earlier this year, the Obama campaign was engaged in massive ballot stuffing in Philadelphia and Ohio, more than likely by sabotaging voting machines and then having “emergency” ballots ready to switch with backup paper ballots.
Did Obama do the same thing but on a much wider scale? Obama in 2008 got a remarkable 85% of the vote in Philadelphia, but in this election received 99%! Is that possible? With Philadelphia’s record unemployment, record homicide rate, and an Obama-induced economy that has literally bankrupted the city, could Obama have won 99% of the vote?
Show us the ballots, Mr. President!

Mendacity and Malice Won...Obama A "political narcissistic sociopath"
Mendacity and Malice Won
by Mary Matalin
What happened? A political narcissistic sociopath leveraged fear and ignorance with a campaign marked by mendacity and malice rather than a mandate for resurgence and reform. Instead of using his high office to articulate a vision for our future, Obama used it as a vehicle for character assassination, replete with unrelenting and destructive distortion, derision, and division.
Mitt Romney distinguished himself and conservatism with a grounded, courageous, forward-thinking problem-solving reform agenda for a nation ready to renew and starved for leadership and maturity. He is a man of integrity and character, as is his whole family. And unlike in the 1996 and 2008 Republican campaigns, which — though led by men of great personal integrity — were marked by dead-end policy prescriptions, Romney/Ryan laid a durable philosophical and policy foundation for the next generation of conservative leadership.
Unfortunately and unfortuitously, forces of nature bookended the general election: Our convention was compromised by one weather disaster and our momentum stalled by another. Two human hurricanes also radically altered the political atmosphere: Bill Clinton’s unique windbaggery constituted a campaign updraft, while Chris Christie’s deplorable and gratuitous gas-baggery infused the campaign with a toxic political pollution.
We live to fight again.

Obama's Tax Hikes On Rich Will Kill Jobs
Obama's Tax Hikes On Rich Will Kill Jobs
While vowing to "compromise" to avoid driving off the fiscal cliff, President Obama again repeated his demand that any solution must include a tax hike on high incomes. Ready for four more years of job stagnation?
You have to hand it to President Obama and the Democrats: No matter how many times they are proved wrong by facts, they stick to their message.
On Friday, Obama vowed to "compromise" when he meets with Republican leaders this week to avoid the fiscal cliff — which, the Congressional Budget Office says, would push the economy into recession and send unemployment soaring above 9% if it's not avoided.
But Obama's "compromise" is nothing of the sort. He merely repeated his demand for a "balanced" approach that relies on raising taxes on families that earn over $250,000 to reduce the deficit.
This is a sham. Raising taxes on all those above $250,000 as Obama proposes would raise just $34 billion. That's a whopping 3% of our $1.1 trillion deficit. Even if you seized all their income, it would only run the government for three months.
So the idea that taxing the wealthy will reduce the deficit is false. This is just class warfare, pure and simple.
Even so, Obama compounds the fib by going on to say his tax hike will have virtually no impact on small businesses. He notes, for example, that 97% of all small businesses would be untouched by his tax hike.
True, but irrelevant, as Treasury Department data show. For while there are 34.8 million small businesses in America, 30 million of those employ no workers.
Just 4.8 million, or 12%, employ workers. But an even smaller number — just 1.2 million — earn 91% of all the small business income. These are Obama's "rich."
But while they make up just 3% of all small businesses, they employ a stunning 54% of the total private U.S. workforce.
They are, in short, the nation's job creators. And their owners, who report their small-business income on their personal income tax return, will be taxed at a higher rate by Obama.
So don't be fooled. It's not really the "wealthy," as Obama says, who'll get taxed. It's small businesses. And it will have a devastating impact on jobs.
How devastating? A recent study by Ernst & Young noted that Obama's tax hike, far from being "balanced," would cost 700,000 people their jobs.
And it will no doubt kill hundreds of thousands if not millions more jobs in the future as would-be entrepreneurs decide not to start businesses in such a hostile tax and regulatory environment.
We're happy to hear that House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell have both said that tax-rate increases aren't acceptable.
They think America needs entitlement and tax reform — making our code lower, broader, flatter, with fewer distortions — along with spending cuts. We agree.
A poll released last week shows that 80% of Republicans reject tax hikes to solve our budget ills. Following the party's lackluster election showing, GOP leaders would be wise to keep this in mind as they negotiate.
Caving in on taxes is political and economic suicide.
Wild Thing's comment.....................

Welch Allyn, a company that manufactures medical diagnostic equipment in central New York, announced in September that they would be laying off
275 employees, or roughly 10% of their workforce over the next three years. One of the major reasons discussed for the layoffs was a proactive response to the Medical Device Tax mandated by the new healthcare law.
Dana Holding Corp.
As recently as a week ago, a global auto parts manufacturing company in Ohio known as Dana Holding Corp., warned their employees of potential layoffs, citing "$24 million over the next six years in additional U.S. health care expenses". After laying off several white collar staffers, company insiders have hinted at more to come. The company will have to cover the additional $24 million cost somehow, which will likely equate to numerous cuts in their current workforce of 25,500 worldwide.
Stryker
One of the biggest medical device manufacturers in the world, Stryker will close their facility in Orchard Park, New York, eliminating 96 jobs in December. Worse, they plan on countering the medical device tax in Obamacare by slashing 5% of their global workforce - an estimated 1,170 positions.

For the chairman and chief executive of Murray Energy, an Ohio-based coal company, the reelection of President Obama was no cause for celebration. It was a time for prayer – and layoffs.
Robert E. Murray read a prayer to a group of company staff members on the day after the election, lamenting the direction of the country and asking: “Lord, please forgive me and anyone with me in Murray Energy Corp. for the decisions that we are now forced to make to preserve the very existence of any of the enterprises that you have helped us build.”
On Wednesday, Murray also laid off 54 people at American Coal, one of his subsidiary companies, and 102 at Utah American Energy, blaming a “war on coal” by the administration of President Barack Obama.”
Murray Energy is the country’s largest privately owned coal mining company, with about 3,000 employees producing about 30 million tons of bituminous coal a year, according to its Web site.
The layoffs are necessary because of the president’s “war on coal,” the statement said. The slogan is one used frequently during the election by Murray Energy CEO Robert Murray, who was an ardent supporter of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
In its statement, UtahAmerican Energy blames the Obama administration for instituting policies that will close down “204 American coal-fired power plants by 2014″ and for drastically reducing the market for coal.
“There is nowhere to sell our coal, and when we can, the market prices are far lower,” the statement said. “Without markets, there can be no coal mines and no coal jobs.”

God bless this man and God bless the coal miners. I am not sure any of you watched the awesome video I posted about 2 weeks ago that the coal miners made. The all gathered together and had a letter from a lawyer which they read to Obama on the video. They told Obama to cease his lies in his campaign video about them and to understand they were supporting Mitt Romney and NOT Obama. I hope you watched the video it was so good and these are very brave men.

State of Texas and Louisiana Working to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government
State of Texas and Louisiana working to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government.
White House website..........
We petition the Obama administration to:
The petition needs 23,000 more signatures.........It looks like they’ll get it.
Peacefully grant the State of Louisiana to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government.
As the founding fathers of the United States of America made clear in the Declaration of Independence in 1776:
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."
"...Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and institute new Government..."
Created: Nov 07, 2012
.
There’s a petition for Texas to secede too.
Petition started asking Obama to allow Texas to secede from the Union
Here is the petition for Texas you can sign
"The US continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government's neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending. The citizens of the US suffer from blatant abuses of their rights such as the NDAA, the TSA, etc. Given that the state of Texas maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world, it is practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union, and to do so would protect it's citizens' standard of living and re-secure their rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers which are no longer being reflected by the federal government."

It would be ok with me if every State did this and leave Obama sitting all alone with no one to be a dictator over. He can open a camp for his kool-aid drinkers and they can all live their miserable gimmie gimmie lives with Barack and Michelle.

Good for Applebee’s! Applebee's Franchisee Says He Won’t Hire Any More Because Of Obamacare
We won’t build more’
(via Huffingtonpost)
An Applebee’s New York area franchisee is the latest CEO to go public threatening drastic plans to avoid costs associated with the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare.
“We’ve calculated it will [cost] some millions of dollars across our system. So what does that say — that says we won’t build more restaurants. We won’t hire more people,” Zane Tankel, chairman and CEO of Apple-Metro, told Fox Business Network on Thursday.
Apple-Metro, which runs 40 Applebee’s restaurants, employs from 80 to 300 people at each of its locations. Obamacare mandates that businesses with more than 50 workers must offer an approved insurance plan or pay a penalty of $2,000 for each full-time worker over 30 workers.

The voters will learn the hard way what their vote has cost. They will try to blame republicans but ifi the business owners make it clear it is due to Obamacare it will start to sink in with many how bad it is. I hope so anyway.

Rep. Trey Gowdy: Either Petraeus Will Come and Testify to Congress Or He Will Be Subpoenaed
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) told Greta Van Susteren tonight that Petraeus will be questioned before Congress despite his resignation today.
“The fact that he’s resigned and had an affair has nothing to do with whether he will be subpoenaed to Congress. I hope we don’t have to subpoena a four star general and a former CIA director. I would hope he would come voluntarily but if he won’t he will be subpoenaed. And none of what happened today is an offense to a subpoena… He’s either a witness in our case in chief or he’s gonna be a rebuttal witness if Susan Rice and others blame him for their failure of intelligence and failure of information. But there is no way we can get to the bottom of Benghazi without David Petraeus.”
How much are we spending on our intelligence operations again?
After David Petraeus resigned today for having an affair we found his affair started while he was serving in Afghanistan over a year ago and that Petraeus broke up with biographer Broadwell after he became CIA Director. Yet, the FBI just put this together this week.

America Hating Barack Hussein Obama: America Voted for Tax Hikes
Barack Obama: America Voted for Tax Hikes
Citing a mandate, far left President Obama told reporters today that America voted for tax hikes this week.
Claiming a mandate from his election romp over Mitt Romney, President Barack Obama announced on Friday that he had invited congressional leaders to the White House next week for talks on how to steer the battered economy away from a “fiscal cliff.” Obama said he was open to compromise with Republicans—but that any final deal needed to raise taxes on the richest Americans.
“This was a central question during the election,” the president said in brief remarks in the East Room of the White House. “It was debated over and over again, and on Tuesday night we found out that a majority of Americans agree with my approach.
“Our job now is to get a majority in Congress to reflect the will of the American people,” Obama said. “I’m not wedded to every detail of my plan. I’m open to compromise. I’m open to new ideas. I’m committed to solving our fiscal challenges. But I refuse to accept any approach that isn’t balanced.“

Navy SEALs: Obama poses a clear and present danger to U.S.
The Obama administration poses a clear and present danger to America, according to a former member of elite Naval commandos in a statement released Sunday. U.S. Navy SEALs have been telling anyone who'll listen that President Barack Obama has been a weak leader throughout his term and cannot be trusted.
Senior administration officials recklessly briefed members of the press with operational details that put SEALs, their families and America at risk rather than protecting the secrecy of missions. Now we know more about SEAL Team 6 than we do about our own President's college transcripts, said a group of SEALs opposed to President Barack Obama's handling of counterterrorism.
"These SEALs know the facts. They were silenced by their service. But they refuse to remain quiet any longer. The stakes are simply too high," said a former intelligence officer and police detective M. Shane Duffy.
"The SEALs removed one threat to America, now it's time for the voters to remove the other," added retired Navy SEAL Brad Nagel.
Newly released emails indicate that the Obama White House knew within 30-minutes of the initial uprising and that the American Embassy in Benghazi was under full terrorist attack, according to Fox News Channel's Catherine Herridge.
"An American drone reportedly sent the State Department situation room real time footage of the jihadist assault. As State Department officials watched the bloody, clearly pre-planned and well organized attack unfold, our Commander in Chief refused to take action," Nagel said.
It has been further reported that instead of staying in the situation room, the President retired to his quarters for an early bed time, leaving horrified State Department personnel alone with the live feed horrors from Benghazi.
"Obama's love affair with the Muslim Brotherhood poses a clear and present danger to America, but worst of all are the lies and failure to act, especially in Benghazi, that got my buddies Killed", said Nagel, a 20-year Navy veteran and former SEAL.
Other new information reveals that over 400 people (involved in our national security) watched live as our Consulate was under attack. This drone video ran for seven hours. One of our American security officers was using a laser designator to point out specific targets pleading for back up support only to be repeatedly denied, according to Herridge's report as Fox's national security correspondent.
"The most important people involved in our national security are watching Americans get shot at and killed and did absolutely nothing about it. This Administration cannot be trusted," Shane Duffy said.
Of the four killed during that 7 hour battle, 2 of the people died in the final hour. Ty Woods, a former SEAL teammate of Nagel's was one of the last to die. "Ty ran his weapon dry and killed 50 jihadists before he was taken down. If this Administration had used the intel they had and sent help, my friend might still be alive" said Nagel.
Other SEALs are just as furious with Obama: "If Obama sent Ambassador Stephens to a death sentence mission in Benghazi; what will he be willing to do to the American people to appease what appear to be deep Muslim Brotherhood ties?" asked former Navy SEAL Benjamin Smith.
"Obama called Ambassador Stephens a friend but he refused to help his friend and instead sentenced him to death. How can anyone believe [Obama] will help America!" said political strategist Mike Baker.

CBO: Health law to shrink workforce by 800,000
CBO Director Douglas Elmendorf told the House Budget Committee on Thursday that the health care law will reduce employment by 0.5 percent by 2021 because some people will no longer have to work just to afford health insurance.
“That means that if the reduction in the labor used was workers working the average number of hours in the economy and earning the average wage, that there would be a reduction of 800,000 workers,” Elmendorf said in an exchange with Rep. John Campbell (R-CA).

Hours After Obama Victory – Administration Backs UN Arms Treaty
Less than a day after Obama’s election, the US backed a UN treaty to regulate arms.
Obama delayed the talks during election season
Reuters reported:
Hours after U.S. President Barack Obama was re-elected, the United States backed a U.N. committee’s call on Wednesday to renew debate over a draft international treaty to regulate the $70 billion global conventional arms trade.
U.N. delegates and gun control activists have complained that talks collapsed in July largely because Obama feared attacks from Republican rival Mitt Romney if his administration was seen as supporting the pact, a charge Washington denies.
The month-long talks at U.N. headquarters broke off after the United States – along with Russia and other major arms producers – said it had problems with the draft treaty and asked for more time.
But the U.N. General Assembly’s disarmament committee moved quickly after Obama’s win to approve a resolution calling for a new round of talks March 18-28. It passed with 157 votes in favor, none against and 18 abstentions.
U.N. diplomats said the vote had been expected before Tuesday’s U.S. presidential election but was delayed due to Superstorm Sandy, which caused a three-day closure of the United Nations last week.

Dicktator Obama May Levy Carbon Tax To Cut U.S. Deficit…
(Bloomberg News) — Barack Obama may consider introducing a tax on carbon emissions to help cut the U.S. budget deficit after winning a second term as president, according to HSBC Holdings Plc.
A tax starting at $20 a metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent and rising at about 6 percent a year could raise $154 billion by 2021, Nick Robins, an analyst at the bank in London, said today in an e-mailed research note, citing Congressional Research Service estimates. “Applied to the Congressional Budget Office’s 2012 baseline, this would halve the fiscal deficit by 2022,” Robins said.
Hurricane Sandy sparked discussion on climate protection in the election after presidential candidates focused on other debates, HSBC said. A continued Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives means Obama’s scope for action will be limited, Robins said. Cap-and-trade legislation stalled in the U.S. Senate after narrowly passing the house in 2009.
North American discharges fell 1.3 percent last year amid slowing economic growth. In China, the world’s biggest emitter, greenhouse gases from fuel use rose more than 9 percent in 2011, according to BP Plc statistics published on June 13

Harry Reid Vows To Change Senate Rules To Make It Easier For Obama To Ram His Agenda Down Our Throats…
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) pledged on Wednesday to change the rules of the Senate so that the minority party has fewer tools to obstruct legislative business.
In his first post-election press conference, the Nevada Democrat said he wouldn’t go so far as to eliminate the filibuster, which requires 60 votes for the chamber to enter and exit the amendment and debate process. But in remarks meant to preview a more combative approach during the next session, he warned Republicans that obstructionism as a tactic won’t be tolerated — or as technically feasible.
“I want to work together, but I also want everyone to also understand, you cannot push us around. We want to work together,” Reid said.
“I do” have plans to change the Senate rules, he added. “I have said so publicly and I continue to feel that way … I think the rules have been abused, and we are going to work to change them. We will not do away with the filibuster, but we will make the senate a more meaningful place. We are going to make it so we can get things done.”

Biden: We Have A Clear “Mandate” To Raise Taxes…
e Biden told reporters on Air Force Two today that last night’s election represented a clear “mandate” to raise taxes.
“Where specifically do you think Republicans will be willing to compromise on issues of debt/deficit?” a pool reported asked Biden.
“Well look, I think — You guys have probably looked at the internals of the vote more than I have so far,” said Biden. “But from what it appears is that, on the issue of the tax issue, there was a clear, a clear sort of mandate about people coming much closer to our view about how to deal with tax policy. I think we can move, I’d like to see us, I think we can do something on corporate taxes sooner than later. That would be positive, be a little confidence-building. And you know I just think it’s going to take time for the Republicans to sort of digest what the consequences for them internally.”

Victory puts Obama in position to expand government's reach
(Reuters) - Both sides called it a generation-defining race for the White House: a choice between Democrat Barack Obama's brand of government activism and Republican Mitt Romney's commitment to reducing Washington's role in Americans' daily lives.
Tuesday's elections - in which Republicans kept control of the U.S. House and Obama's Democrats held on to the Senate - suggested that bitter partisanship would likely remain very much alive in Washington in the new year. They also revealed that there was no broad mandate for much beyond the broadly shared goals of improving the economy and reducing government debt.

HERO Allen West Defeated by Horrible Democrat ~ Due To Lazy Republicans
Allen West Election Results: Democratic Newcomer Patrick Murphy Prevails
Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) isn't coming back to Congress.
After months of battling through one of the nastiest and most expensive races in the country, the Tea Party freshman was knocked out of his seat, barely, by Democratic newcomer Patrick Murphy.
NBC called the race for Murphy early Wednesday morning. By the time all votes were counted, Murphy came out ahead of West by about 2,400 votes.
"I am humbled by the outpouring of support from the voters of the Treasure Coast and Palm Beaches,” Murphy said in a statement. “I pledge to be a representative who will work across the aisle, listen to all points of views, and work to end the divisiveness in Congress. Our country faces many challenges, and by working together we will continue to move our country forward.”
It was a tight race all night, which paralleled the razor-thin margins polls showed between the candidates over the past few months. West and Murphy were competing for Florida's 18th Congressional District, an evenly split district that was redrawn in 2010.

America Died Last Night November 6th, 2012 ~ Obama Wins Re-Election
.
Obama won or was given a second term. I do not blame the kool-aid drinkers they were to be expected to vote for Obama.
The people I hold accountable are those that a phony conservatives bound and determined not to vote for anyone except the person they were for that did not win the GOOP nomination....the hold outs for Santorum, Newt, Bachmann, Cain etc, phony religious Mormon haters, and the Ron Paul zombies. Those are all the people that could have voted for Mitt Romney to beat Obama and save our country. They are worse then the Obama kool-aid drinkers and have NOT earned the right IMO to complain one time now about Obama. These jerks helped the communist thug to stay in charge and run wild.
If you know people like I have mentioned I feel sorry for you. Because they are no friend to anyone. They will betray you just as they have betrayed our country.
If you remember I posted a video of the owner of the Jets and he was asked if he wanted the Jets to win or Romney. He answered the reporter.....I put my country first so I want Romney to win and the Jets second.He went on to say we had to vote to get Obama out of office and restore our country. That is the kind of person I would want in my Foxhole.
I am blessed to know men like the Jets owner. Men like my husband Nicholas, friends like BobF and TomR and cuchieddie others that put our country first.
So this is a thank you to those that do love America, put our country first and feel the heartache of what we are now facing with Obama getting a second term. God help us all and God help America.
Just one more thing......

Al-Qaeda-Linked Cleric Throws Support to Obama
>Al-Qaeda-Linked Cleric Throws Support to Obama:
Al-Qaeda linked Islamist Hassan al-Turubi from Sudan threw his support behind Barack Obama this week. Turubi says, “He’s gentle to the Muslims.”
That’s important.
Israel National News reported, via Religion of Peace:
A Sudanese opposition leader and prominent Sunni Muslim who had links to al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in the 1990s said he hopes President Barack Obama will get re-elected in Tuesday’s much anticipated election, AFP reported.
“You know what ‘Baraka’ means in Arabic? Blessing,” said veteran Islamist leader Hassan al-Turabi, who served as the secretary-general of the Islamic Charter Front, a political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood that advocated an Islamic constitution and opposed western secularism.
“Obama of course,” Turabi told AFP, when asked about his U.S. presidential preference during an interview.
“He’s gentle towards the Muslims generally,” Turabi said, and referred to Obama’s childhood spent in Muslim-majority Indonesia, and his Kenyan father who was raised as a Muslim.

Obama’s War on Coal Now Obama's EPA Rushes to Push Job-Killing Regulations Into Place Before New Year
Obama’s EPA Rushes to Push Job-Killing Regulations Into Place Before New Year
In January 2008 Barack Obama told the San Francisco Chronicle:
“Under my plan of a cap and trade system electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Businesses would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that cost onto consumers.”
He promised that his plan would cause electricity rates to skyrocket.
Well some say Obama breaks his promises, I say NOT all of them. This one he has kept.
Barack Obama’s EPA is rushing to push more job-killing regulations into place before the new year.
The Examiner reported:
President Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency has devoted an unprecedented number of bureaucrats to finalizing new anti-coal regulations that are set to be released at the end of November, according to a source inside the EPA.
More than 50 EPA staff are now crashing to finish greenhouse gas emission standards that would essentially ban all construction of new coal-fired power plants. Never before have so many EPA resources been devoted to a single regulation. The independent and non-partisan Manhattan Institute estimates that the EPA’s greenhouse gas coal regulation will cost the U.S. economy $700 billion.
The rush is a major sign of panic by environmentalists inside the Obama administration. If Obama wins, the EPA would have another four full years to implement their anti-fossil fuel agenda. But if Romney wins, regulators will have a very narrow window to enact a select few costly regulations that would then be very hard for a President Romney to undo.
Environmentalists at the EPA pulled this trick before in 2000 when the Clinton administration rushed out a finding that Mercury emissions from power plants were a growing public health threat pursuant to the Clean Air Act. That finding did not regulate power plants itself, but it did force the Bush administration to begin a lengthy regulatory process. The Obama EPA has estimated that this regulation alone will cost the U.S. economy $10.9 billion a year.
Obama’s new EPA regulations will cost the coal industry $180 billion and force electricity rates to skyrocket.

Obama Over Benghazi Lies and Omissions
Benghazi blunder: Obama unworthy commander-in-chief
This administration is an embarrassment on foreign policy and incompetent at best on the economy – though a more careful analysis shows what can only be a perverse and willful attempt to destroy our prosperity. Back in January 2008, Barack Obama told the editorial board of the San Francisco Chronicle that under his cap-and-trade plan, “If somebody wants to build a coal-fired power plant, they can. It’s just that it will bankrupt them.” He added, “Under my plan … electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.” It was also in 2008 that Mr. Obama’s future Energy Secretary, Steven Chu, famously said it would be necessary to “figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe” – $9 a gallon.
Yet the president now claims he’s in favor of oil development and pipelines, taking credit for increased oil production on private lands where he’s powerless to block it, after he halted the Keystone XL Pipeline and oversaw a 50 percent reduction in oil leases on public lands.
These behaviors go far beyond “spin.” They amount to a pack of lies. To return to office a narcissistic amateur who seeks to ride this nation’s economy and international esteem to oblivion, like Slim Pickens riding the nuclear bomb to its target at the end of the movie “Dr. Strangelove,” would be disastrous.
Candidate Obama said if he couldn’t fix the economy in four years, his would be a one-term presidency.
Mitt Romney is moral, capable and responsible man. Just this once, it’s time to hold Barack Obama to his word. Maybe we can all do something about that, come Tuesday.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) told Greta Van Susteren on Wednesday that Ambassador Chris Stevens called for help when the consulate came under attack on 9-11. The ambassador made calls to the Deputy Chief of Mission Gregory Hicks in Tripoli. Chaffetz talked about this tonight On the Record,
“He said shortly after 9:40 PM what happened is his phone rang and he didn’t recognize the number so he didn’t answer it. And then it rang again and again he didn’t answer it because he didn’t recognize the number. But then given the persistence he did answer it. It was Ambassador Stevens and Ambassador Stevens was saying we’re under attack. Now I can’t say he told me specifically but that’s kind of what I read into it. he hung up the phone and immediately called into Washington DC to trigger all the mechanisms that need to be put on. And then he wasn’t able to contact him. And there were hours and hours that we didn’t know where our ambassador was.”

Exclusive: Classified cable warned consulate couldn't withstand 'coordinated attack'
By Catherine Herridge
The U.S. Mission in Benghazi convened an “emergency meeting” less than a month before the assault that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, because Al Qaeda had training camps in Benghazi and the consulate could not defend against a “coordinated attack,” according to a classified cable reviewed by Fox News.
Summarizing an Aug. 15 emergency meeting convened by the U.S. Mission in Benghazi, the Aug. 16 cable marked “SECRET” said that the State Department’s senior security officer, also known as the RSO, did not believe the consulate could be protected.
“RSO (Regional Security Officer) expressed concerns with the ability to defend Post in the event of a coordinated attack due to limited manpower, security measures, weapons capabilities, host nation support, and the overall size of the compound,” the cable said.
According to a review of the cable addressed to the Office of the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Emergency Action Committee was also briefed "on the location of approximately ten Islamist militias and AQ training camps within Benghazi … these groups ran the spectrum from Islamist militias, such as the QRF Brigade and Ansar al-Sharia, to ‘Takfirist thugs.’” Each U.S. mission has a so-called Emergency Action Committee that is responsible for security measures and emergency planning.
The details in the cable seemed to foreshadow the deadly Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. compound, which was a coordinated, commando-style assault using direct and indirect fire. Al Qaeda in North Africa and Ansar al-Sharia, both mentioned in the cable, have since been implicated in the consulate attack.
In addition to describing the security situation in Benghazi as “trending negatively,” the cable said explicitly that the mission would ask for more help. “In light of the uncertain security environment, US Mission Benghazi will submit specific requests to US Embassy Tripoli for additional physical security upgrades and staffing needs by separate cover.”
As for specific threats against the U.S., the cable warned the intelligence was not clear on the issue, cautioning that the militias in Benghazi were not concerned with any significant retaliation from the Libyan government, which had apparently lost control in Benghazi. A briefer explained that they “did not have information suggesting that these entities were targeting Americans but did caveat that (there was not) a complete picture of their intentions yet. RSO (Regional Security Officer) noted that the Benghazi militias have become more brazen in their actions and have little fear of reprisal from the (government of Libya.)”
While the administration’s public statements have suggested that the attack came without warning, the Aug. 16 cable seems to undercut those claims. It was a direct warning to the State Department that the Benghazi consulate was vulnerable to attack, that it could not be defended and that the presence of anti-U.S. militias and Al Qaeda was well-known to the U.S. intelligence community.
In a three-page cable on Sept 11, the day Stevens and the three other Americans were killed, Stevens wrote about “growing problems with security” in Benghazi and “growing frustration” with the security forces and Libyan police. The ambassador saw both as “too weak to keep the country secure.”
Fox News asked the State Department to respond to a series of questions about the Aug. 16 cable, including who was specifically charged with reviewing it and whether action was taken by Washington or Tripoli. Fox News also asked, given the specific warnings and the detailed intelligence laid out in the cable, whether the State Department considered extra measures for the consulate in light of the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks – and if no action was taken, who made that call.
The State Department press office declined to answer specific questions, citing the classified nature of the cable.
"An independent board is conducting a thorough review of the assault on our post in Benghazi," Deputy Spokesman Mark Toner said in written statement. "Once we have the board's comprehensive account of what happened, findings and recommendations, we can fully address these matters."

CIA Veteran: Benghazi ‘Worse Than Watergate’
“It’s hard to claim incompetence when you have the information in a real-time manner as the White House did,” he said. “They were watching or listening to the attack on our people there in Benghazi for about seven hours. This, clearly, is a case of deciding not to help those people and now trying, in the waning days of the election campaign, to prevent Americans from learning what a cowardly and arrogant policy Obama picked in order to protect his election chances.” Scheuer, who is also the bestselling author of “Imperial Hubris” and “Osama bin Laden,” said the Obama administration did nothing, according to what’s been aired publicly, to help those being attacked at the U.S. consulate.
Benghazi was an Act of War, and 0bama allowed lsIamic terrorist to have a free pass to M U R D E R American's on our own SOIL (American Embassies and Consulates in lsIamic countries). THAT IS TREASON!

Ray Smith, Father of Benghazi Victim Sean Smith Demands Answers: My Son ‘Dialed 911 for Help and They Wouldn’t Help’
As Congress steps up its efforts to get answers from a reluctant Obama administration about the terrorist attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, another father of one of the Americans killed in the attack is speaking out. Understandably, he wants answers.
Rene “Ray” Smith’s son, Sean Smith, a State Department official, was one of the four Americans killed in Libya when terrorists overran the U.S. compound in a sophisticated and pre-planned attack.
“He was murdered. He was murdered,” Smith told WTSP. “I want them to get the people who did this.”
But the grieving father wants more than just revenge. He wants the White House to explain exactly what happened in Libya on Sept. 11 and why repeated calls for help were denied.
“They haven’t done anything. My son and them dialed 911 for help and they wouldn’t help them…I want whoever did this, whoever didn’t answer their phone, I want them brought to justice too,” Smith added.
