Amused by Tea Parties; Recess Appoiontment; Department of Justice and the Black Panthers; Obama Loses Another Court Challenge; and Lame Duck Laws

A blast from the past: "What President of the United States, asks Daily Caller, mocks and makes fun of the people he serves? Do you ever remember a President being so flippant and condescending?
“I have been amused a little over the past couple of days where people have been having these rallies about taxes,” Obama said.*

President Barack Obama struck a hyperpartisan note Thursday, telling Democrats that he was “amused” by the Tax Day Tea Party rallies.
Obama, addressing a Democratic National Committee (DNC) fundraiser in Miami, did little to endear himself to the Tea Party groups protesting around the country, saying “they should be saying thank you” because of the tax cuts he has signed into law.

[It is in the news that our President has made a recess appointment of his pick to be Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).   What you may not remember from a blog a month or so ago is this, as reported by ABC News]: In an interview last year with Biotechnology Healthcare, Berwick said society makes decisions about rationing all the time, and that the "decision is not whether or not we will ration care -- the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open. And right now, we are doing it blindly." [Is it any wonder that Republicans may have given the big O a hard time if Congress had been able to do their duty to vote for him or not?  It's yet one more radical appointee.  It is getting harder to believe it is all a coincidence.] 
In 2008 while speaking on the British health care system in the UK, Berwick said wealthy individuals must redistribute their wealth to those less fortunate for health care funding. Also during this speech, he told those in attendance that he opposes free markets.
“Any health care funding plan that is just equitable civilized and humane must, must redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent health care is by definition redistributional.”

Glenn Beck reports:  The Department of Justice apparently doesn't think the voter intimidation at the polls in Philadelphia by the Black Panthers merits any further attention. Perhaps they haven't seen the video of the same Black Panther who was at the polls [in an earlier venue] also calling for white people (crackers, as he so eloquently put it) and their babies to be killed. He said, " I hate white people, all of them. Every last iota of a cracker, I hate him. You want freedom? You are going to have to kill some crackers. You might have to kill some of their babies". [There is more.  You find this difficult to believe?  Here is King Shameer Shabazi (or something like that) ] http://www.exposeobama.com/2010/07/07/videoblack-panther-that-obama-admin-protected-advocates-killing-white-babies/?utm_source=Expose+Obama&utm_campaign=cc6ef64b88-EO_7_7_107_7_2010&utm_medium=email
[The DOJ had actually already won the case and was preparing for sentencing when suddenly the case was dropped.  But then the administration moved to dismiss the charges the following month after getting one of the New Black Panther members to agree to not carry a "deadly weapon" near a polling place until 2012. [So - it will be AOK to arm themselves IN 2012 - as in our next Presidential Election?  The Justice Department decided to drop the case because prosecuting blacks is racist- and because the NAACP put pressure on them.  I believe we are on the cusp of becoming a Third World country - where our vote is threatened by thugs and Black Panthers, and ACORN actively works for unfair elections.] http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/07/06/ex-official-accuses-justice-department-racial-bias-black-panther-case/    
[It has now been told that the purpose of the Black Panthers was not only to intimidate votors - but to distract votetrs so that the fraudulent ACORN voters would not be noticed.  Our country is in serious troubhle

Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution demands that a US President "shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed." Hence, the President is not only the Commander in Chief he is also the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Law Enforcement Officer. [Is this grounds for Impeachment, along with others?]

The Obama administration lost its court bid to maintain a six-month moratorium on offshore deepwater drilling which a federal judge ordered lifted last month. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals denied the government's emergency request to stay that judge's order pending appeal.
The motion was denied because the government failed to show "a likelihood of irreparable injury if the stay is not granted," the appeals panel judges wrote in a 2-1 ruling.

The government also "made no showing that there is any likelihood that drilling activities will be resumed pending appeal." http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.5812f97c10bdfbe8edaa2f9744f1bba2.41&show_article=1

The rush to recess gives Democrats little time to pass any major laws. That's why there have been signs in recent weeks that party leaders are planning an ambitious, lame-duck session to muscle through bills in December they don't want to defend before November. Retiring or defeated members of Congress would then be able to vote for sweeping legislation without any fear of voter retaliation.
"I've got lots of things I want to do" in a lame duck, Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D., W. Va.) told reporters in mid June. North Dakota's Kent Conrad, chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, wants a lame-duck session to act on the recommendations of President Obama's deficit commission, which is due to report on Dec. 1. "It could be a huge deal,"
In the House, Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva, co-chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, told reporters last month that for bills like "card check"—the measure to curb secret-ballot union elections—"the lame duck would be the last chance, quite honestly, for the foreseeable future."

Other lame-duck possibilities? Senate ratification of the New Start nuclear treaty, a federally mandated universal voter registration system to override state laws, and a budget resolution to lock in increased agency spending.
Then there is pork. A Senate aide told me that "some of the biggest porkers on both sides of the aisle are leaving office this year, and a lame-duck session would be their last hurrah for spending."
