*What in the world are these
Republicans in the House of Representatives thinking? As if they haven’t
given enough power over to the President already. Folks we are seeing
the office of the President turned into the office of the American
Dictator. Last year, the Senate passed the measure by a vote of 79-20,
so it now goes to the desk of President Obama for his signature. (Did anyone hear about this? I don’t remember it) By a vote of 261-116, the House of Representatives passed a bill rewriting Article II of the Constitution and divesting the Senate of the power to accept or reject the appointment of many presidential nominees. Dozens of key management positions in the Departments of Agriculture,
Defense, Commerce, and Homeland Security (including the treasurer of the
United States, the deputy administrator of the Federal Aviation
Administration, the director of the Office for Domestic Preparedness,
and the assistant administrator of FEMA) will now be filled by
presidential edict, without the need of the “advice and consent” of the
Senate, a phrase specifically removed from the process in the text of the bill.http://stevescomments.wordpress.com/2012/08/03/house-passes-bill-eliminating-senate-approval-of-presidential-appointments/

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi visited Boca Raton to
help former West Palm Beach Mayor Lois Frankel in her campaign for
Florida’s 22nd district. During the question and answer period, Pelosi
claimed that Republicans didn’t care if children caught diseases,
specifically E. coli, from contaminated water:
“Bless their hearts, it’s the philosophy Republicans in
Congress have. And bless their hearts, they act upon their beliefs. It’s
an ideology. We shouldn’t have a government role. So reduce the police,
the firemen, the teachers, reduce their role and give tax cuts to the
high end. That will stimulate the economy and everything will be good,”
Pelosi said.
That’s right. As a Republican, I want my children to drink
contaminated water. As a Republican, I want my children to breathe
dirty air. As a Republican, I want my children to ingest food that is
foul.
Do people really believe this?

Romney’s layoffs literally killed people. If you’re a low-information
voter who pays attention to this stuff in bits and pieces, a story
you’re half-listening to about a rich guy and a steelworker and a plant
closing and a young wife tragically dying from cancer sounds
really bad, even if it’s a gross smear. In fact, the grosser the smear, the more compelling the half-listened-to story seems.
Right, Harry? [The truth of it is that the woman died 6 years after she lost her job, and was covered by her own health insurance part of that time. The audacity of lies is breath-taking.] http://hotair.com/archives/2012/08/07/cnn-wife-of-steelworker-in-new-obama-super-pac-ad-still-had-job-and-health-insurance-after-he-lost-his/

As many as 1.76 million young illegal immigrants
could qualify for temporary legal status under President Obama's deferred action program,
says a new report from the Migration Policy Institute. That's more than
double the Obama administration's initial estimate of 800,000 people
who would benefit from the program.

What do Barack Obama, Thomas Jefferson, George W. Bush and the other
past U.S. presidents have in common? Besides holding the coveted title
of commander-in-chief, it appears that all of them but one are cousins.
The remarkable discovery was made by 12-year-old BridgeAnne d’Avignon,
of Salinas, California, who created a ground-breaking family tree that
connected 42 of 43 U.S. presidents to one common, and rather unexpected,
ancestor: King John of England.

Need to Find a Democrat? [Or determine which neighbors are NOT your friendly Democrats?] New Obama Campaign App Reveals Your Liberal Neighbors [This information has been used for a while now, but was only available to elected Precinct Delegates and the like - as a tool to get out the vote. Of course, it now is available to all Democrats and will probably be misused.] http://www.ijreview.com/2012/08/12345-need-to-find-a-democrat-new-obama-campaign-app-reveals-your-liberal-neighbors/

Emails obtained by The Daily Caller show that the U.S. Treasury
Department, led by Timothy Geithner, was the driving force behind
terminating the pensions of 20,000 salaried retirees at the Delphi auto
parts manufacturing company.
The move, made in 2009 while the Obama administration implemented its
auto bailout plan, appears to have been made solely because those
retirees were not members of labor unions.
The internal government emails contradict sworn testimony, in federal
court and before Congress, given by several Obama administration
figures. They also indicate that the administration misled lawmakers and
the courts about the sequence of events surrounding the termination of
those non-union pensions, and that administration figures violated
federal law.
Delphi, a General Motors company, is one of the world’s largest
automotive parts manufacturers. Twenty thousand of its workers lost
nearly their entire pensions when the government bailed out GM. At the
same time, Delphi employees who were members of the United Auto Workers
union saw their pensions topped off and made whole.

Republican Mitt Romney is making a new push to cast
President Barack Obama as a big government liberal, accusing him of dismantling
welfare reform, while Democrats renew efforts to paint
Romney as a profit-driven businessman.
The
Romney campaign released a new television ad Tuesday bashing Obama for
removing work requirements from federal welfare regulations, a key
element of President Bill Clinton's
1996 welfare overhaul. The ad contends that Obama simply wants to hand
out welfare checks, while Romney would restore the work requirement.

A chill is wafting over France’s business class as Mr. Hollande, the
country’s first Socialist president since François Mitterrand in the
1980s, presses a manifesto of patriotism to “pay extra tax to get the
country back on its feet again.” The 75 percent tax proposal, which
Parliament plans to take up in September, is ostensibly aimed at
bolstering French finances as Europe’s long-running
debt crisis intensifies.

The Obama administration advertises the fact that anyone is welcome to come to the United States to receive food stamps:
A basic premise of immigration law is that immigrants to the U.S. are
expected to be self-supporting. We obviously don’t want to attract
people who have no intention of working, but simply want to benefit from
our generous welfare system. This principle is incorporated into the
Immigration and Nationality Act, which provides:
But, as in so many other instances, President Obama has simply
changed the law by executive fiat. In this case the administration acted
quietly, so that it took quite a while before others understood how
badly Obama had subverted the immigration laws. Yesterday, four
Republican Senators wrote to Janet Napolitano and Hillary Clinton; you
can read their letter
here:
It has long been a sound principle of immigration law
that those who seek citizenship in this country ought to be financially
self-sufficient. We were thus shocked to discover that both the State
Department and DHS exclude reliance on almost all governmental welfare
programs when evaluating whether an alien is likely to become a public
charge. Your agencies apply a cramped interpretation of the law in this
regard, considering reliance on only two of nearly 80 federal welfare
programs as evidence of likelihood of becoming a public charge:
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF).
In fact, guidance from your agencies specifically prevents consular
and DHS officials from considering the likelihood that an alien will
receive SNAP benefits [food stamps], WIC payments, Medicaid, child-care
benefits, foster care, energy assistance, educational assistance, other
medical and health benefits, and assistance from at least fifteen
different nutritional programs.
The Obama administration advertises the fact that anyone is welcome to come to the United States to receive food stamps:
Barack Obama’s mania to make everyone a
dependent of the federal government extends even to illegal aliens. The
Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration
has uncovered the astonishing fact that the Obama administration pays billions of dollars in child tax credits to illegal aliens:
