Obama lies about number of illegals released. Not 200 but 2,200+ already released early Feb. 2013 due to sequestration.
Not 200 but 2,200+ illegal immigrant felons were released by Obama in Feb. 2013 because of automatic budget cuts.
The Obama administration reversed itself Thursday, acknowledging to Congress that it had, in fact, released more than 2,000 illegal immigrants from immigration jails due to budget constraints during three weeks in February.
The director of U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, John Morton, said his agency had released 2,228 illegal immigrants during that period for what he called “solely budgetary reasons.” The figure was significantly higher than the “few hundred” immigrants the Obama administration had publicly acknowledged were released under the budget-savings process. He testified during a hearing by a House appropriations subcommittee.   Full Story     Story that Violent Felons were Released

An undercover TSA inspector with an improvised explosive device stuffed in his pants got past two security screenings at Newark Airport — including a pat-down — and was cleared to get on board a commercial flight, sources told The Post yesterday.
With the inert “bomb†stashed somewhere in his pants, he got through the magnetometer undetected at around 11 a.m. He was then pulled aside for a physical screening, and a TSA agent failed to discover the IED and allowed the “bomber†to go to his gate.
Newark Airport, which has 1,400 screeners and supervisors, has long struggled with security.
Last year, 52 baggage and traveler screeners were fired and another 19 disciplined for major security lapses and thefts.
TSA is broken & can’t be fixed

No money for self guided White House tours arranged 30+ days ago & no one answering the phone. In contrast, no cut in pay for White House staff who make hand written invitations. Obama’s priority is that people feel pain?
Despite the closing the doors to public tours because of the automatic budget sequester cuts, the White House continues to employ three calligraphers, with the “chief calligrapher†making $96,725.
Patricia Blair, the chief calligrapher, has two deputies — Debra Brown, earning $85,953 and Richard Muffler, earning $94,372, The Weekly Standard reported.
The White House has made no announcement to scale back on calligraphers, despite sequester cuts.
Calligraphers are needed for the preparation of invitations, placards, citations and White House awards, created by hand, according to the White House.

Ok, now lay off the cops and firemen so we can have pretty invitations.
Outgoing CNN anchor Soledad O’Brien asked Cosby if race relations have improved since Obama became president, and the star of The Cosby Show brought up the recent State of the Union speech.

Who and why were two good cops killed recently in Santa Cruz, CA? Remember the game of Clue? Who did it with what in what room? The game of Clue was acted out in Santa Cruz, CA. We know who. Why it happened will probably never be known. Dead men tell no stories.  The man who killed the two good cops was himself killed. As the game of Clue unfolds in Santa Cruz, CA the Blame Game continues to unfold in Washington D.C.
Who did it to our Butler and our Baker in Santa Cruz, CA with a gun outside a  home?  This is no kid game of Clue. Two good cops are dead.   Why?  Acts of a  person with explosive anger who slayed.  And, so  many  Santa Cruz  families and lives are torn.  A microcosm of national politics?   As the automatic budget cuts  kick in,  we have a Commander-in-Chief  and the Democrat party  who seek to  slay  with the Blame game. And the Blame game  bring pain:  Four days pay not five for military families. Felons  loosed from  prisons. Threats  of dire consequences. In 2014 let’s vote the Blame gamers out.  For now,  we mourn our  Butler and our  Baker.
Is Social Security a Ponzi? Krugman’s view 15 yrs ago and now.
Krugman says now:
” It’s true that Social Security is mainly a system in which each generation pays for the previous generation’s retirement, in the expectation that it will receive the same treatment from the next generation. So there’s nothing Ponziesque at all.
Fifteen (15) years ago, Krugman said:
Social Security is structured from the point of view of the recipients as if it were an ordinary retirement plan: what you get out depends on what you put in. So it does not look like a re-distributionist scheme. In practice it has turned out to be strongly re- distributionist, but only because of its Ponzi game aspect, in which each generation takes more out than it put in. Well, the Ponzi game will soon be over….

The Department of Justice funded a training manual used in the State and Local Anti-terrorism Training (SLATT) program for law enforcement. Apparently certain political bumper stickers can put you on the “could be a terrorist†list, including opposition to the United Nations and support for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Another slide entitled “General Right Wing Extremist†– depicts suspicious bumper stickers that should warrant further investigation by cops conducting traffic stops.
The bumper stickers read, “Know Your Rights Or Lose Them,†and “If You Love Your Country, the U.N. Is Not Your Friend!,†and “Get US Out Of the United Nationsâ€.
Obama family cost twice that of British royal family
US spends more than double on the Obama family compared to British royal family:
Taxpayers spent $1.4 billion dollars on everything from staffing, housing, flying and entertaining President Obama and his family last year, according to the author of a new book on taxpayer-funded presidential perks.
In comparison, British taxpayers spent just $57.8 million on the royal family.

The State Department told reporters Friday afternoon that it won’t answer any more questions about the Sept. 11 attack on the consulate in Benghazi that killed four Americans until the investigation into the incident is complete. “I’m going to frustrate all of you, infinitely, by telling you that now that we have an open FBI investigation on the death of these four Americans, we are not going to be in a position to talk at all about what the U.S. government may or may not be learning about how any of this this happened — not who they were, not how it happened, not what happened to Ambassador Stevens, not any of it.

Fort Hood Islamic jehad murders called ‘work place injury’ by Obama
Obama waves a magic wand and there’s no home grown terrorism, there’s no need to work for welfare, it’s fine to have a mosque at Ground Zero and the massacre at Ford Hood was just a ‘work place related injury’?
Really? Scream in Arabic that Allah is Great and murder people and the public can be hood winked that its just a work place injury? Just because Obama says so — does not make it so.
There is no home grown terror —  because Obama says so!  That is Obama’s position on the massacre at Fort Hood.
And yes, we must have a mosque at Ground Zero but Catholics cannot practice their religious beliefs. Why? Because Obama says so.
General Motors is alive  — and Bin Laden is dead. Also dead  is our U.S. Ambassador Stevens to Libya.
What is Obama’s foreign policy?  America is to blame for whatever. The US must apologize for whatever. Per Obama, the US must lead from behind with the UN must take leadership.
Think how Obama’s actions towards religious freedom  are connected to his foreign policies:
Remember the Mosque at Ground Zero supported by President Obama. What were Obama’s words?  We must support a mosque because this nation protects religious freedom said President Obama.  Does Obama know any  Islamic history?  Historically, when Islam claimed military  territory the first thing they did  was  put a mosque there.
A mosque at Ground Zero is one  way to spread jihad – the holy war – and show who has won. A mosque at Ground Zero shows religious dominance not religious freedom.
Remember Obama riding rough shod over the Catholic bishops who provide substantial charity in America and world wide  based on Catholic teachings?  The ObamaCare regulation written by HHS Sibelius  requires all charities including Catholic to provide all forms of contraceptives to women – including sterilization, abortion and contraceptives.
When the Republicans held a hearing whether the ObamaCare regulation violated freedom of religion, Nancy Pelosi held her own separate news conference and  brought out Sandra Fluke who said she and graduate students like her  should have free contraceptives paid for by the government.
Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats shifted  a discussion of protection of religious freedom for Catholics and other religions into into a War on Women waged  by the Republicans who  according to Pelosi  want to take away contraceptives from women.
Remember Fort Hood and that crazy MD who gunned all those people down shouting praise of Allah while he did so? Now we learn that per Obama’s policies,  it  was a ‘workplace related injury’ not an act of terror. So no Occupational Therapy or therapy for those injured by that crazy Islamic extremist MD.
No one getting welfare has to work any more Why? Because Obama says so!  So what that Democrat President Clinton signed a law requiring work as part of receiving welfare. No matter that the welfare rolls were cut in half and people reported that they felt better about themselves.
Maybe it is time for Americans to say no more of Obama’s policies. No more  waving a magic, pro-Islam wand and implementing policies that weaken freedoms abroad and here at home.
For two weeks, Obama blamed an anti-Islam video made by an American as the cause of Am. Stevens’ death. From Obama’s viewpoint, it had to be some act of stupidity by an American and not more jehad, not more Islamic extremists making a holy war against America and Western values. The New York Times reported that the man responsible for murdering Am. Stevens is bragging about it while sipping mango juice.
Then in the last debate, Obama gets on TV and walks back the narrative. Now he called Am. Stevens death an act of terrorism from day one. Obama just waved his magic wand and he makes it so! Supposedly.
Let’s hope Romney on Monday asks some pointed questions:
Sir, Mr. President, who in the White House read the cables coming in from Am. Stevens saying he was in danger and security not sufficient?
When Ms. Lamb testified that “the assets were sufficient” did she know that the one plane there had been removed and two groups of security had been removed? Did Ms. Lamb know there were 200 acts of terrorism the last year and that the Am. from Great Britain was attacked and that the Red Cross had withdrawn?
And Sir, exactly now many of the daily security briefings did you attend this last 3 months? And why did you attend less than half? Just too busy trying to get re-elected?
Sir, why did 6-7 days pass and a news agency picks up Am. Stevens diary and only then did the public learn that Am. Stevens thought his life was threatened and security lax?
Why no marines sent in based an hour or so away? Yes or no Mr. President – before you flew to Las Vegas, did you call a meeting of the agencies in charge of security and State Department? And why not?
There are a lot of foreign and domestic policy questions that need to be asked and answered.
Why a TRILLION dollar deficit each of the last four years?
Why NO immigration reform during the first two years when the Democrats held the Senate and House and could pass any bill they wanted?
Why do you support importing Brazilian oil yet kill the pipeline from Canada which means jobs for Americans and oil for Americans instead of oil for China?
Why Mr. President do Democrats like Gore increase their wealth from 2 to 100 million after making investments in green corporations that you subsidized and subsequently went belly up?
Let’s hope that the American public asks for answers to these and other questions. And no more waving of magic wands by Obama!
