White House Heralds Unanimously Rejected Fiscal Plan as Base for Fiscal Cliff Deal
The Democratic Senate voted 0-99
against Obama’s $3.6 trillion budget proposal. The Republican House
voted 0-414 on Obama’s budget proposal. The Senate has blocked passage
of a budget for three years.

In ‘cliff’ talks, Obama on brink of disaster
It
will be hard for Obama and the Democrats to blame the GOP for taking us
over the fiscal cliff when they are the ones cheering for going over
the edge. And it will be difficult for them to blame Republicans for
wanting to protect tax cuts for the rich, when House Speaker John
Boehner agreed to $800 billion in higher taxes for the rich in the form of limits on deductions and loopholes. http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/marc-thiessen-in-cliff-talks-obama-on-brink-of-disaster/2012/12/03/b3ed6aec-3d5e-11e2-bca3-aadc9b7e29c5_story.html

FEMA buys disaster trailers from firm despite chronic flaws
the
problems were so widespread that FEMA spent at least $1.3 million in
October 2011 to fix warped exteriors on 581 TL trailers at FEMA's Selma,
Ala., facility, according to the agency's public contracting records. http://washingtonexaminer.com/fema-buys-trailers-from-firm-despite-chronic-flaws/article/2514920#.ULz7heQ72Ag

The two defining moments of Obama's presidency
(snip) Minority Whip Eric Cantor distributed a five-point Republican stimulus plan that included tax cuts for the poorest Americans, tax cuts for small businesses, no taxes on unemployment tax credit. Instead, Obama told Cantor, "I can go it alone. ... Look at the polls. The polls are pretty good for me right now. Elections have consequences. And Eric, I won." Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, was even more frank: "We have the votes. F--k 'em." http://washingtonexaminer.com/the-two-defining-moments-of-obamas-presidency/article/2514797#.ULz8N-

Before Raising Rates, Obama Aides Should Pay Their Taxes
Before the President and Democrats preach to small business owners about "paying their fair share," they should ask the cheaters in Washington to do the same.

Political Elites Keep Power By Blocking Change
It
should not be considered radical to argue that it looks like today's
party of the left is following a Cloward-Piven-like strategy of
purposely ruining a country so that it can be rescued with a bigger,
stronger, much-further-left government. Remember, it was the president's
first chief of staff who said "you never want a serious crisis to go to
waste" and it was his current secretary of state who said "never waste a
good crisis."

The Ties that Bind President
Barack Obama’s latest round of appointments includes the head of a
nonprofit that gave tens of thousands of dollars to a group run by a
convicted domestic terrorist. http://freebeacon.com/the-ties-that-bind/http://freebeacon.com/the-ties-that-bind/-

Many states are wisely signaling that they aren’t interested in doing the Obama administration’s bidding on Obamacare. As a result, many if not most of Obamacare’s insurance exchanges — the heart of the beast — will have to be set up and run by the Obama administration at the federal level.
Many states are wisely signaling that they aren’t interested in doing the Obama administration’s bidding on Obamacare. As a result, many if not most of Obamacare’s insurance exchanges — the heart of the beast — will have to be set up and run by the Obama administration at the federal level.
The Obama administration’s congressional allies
botched the drafting of this aspect of the health care overhaul, as the
plain language of Obamacare doesn’t empower federal exchanges to
distribute taxpayer-funded subsidies to individuals; it empowers only
state-based exchanges to distribute the subsidies. (The administration
pretends otherwise.) Moreover, the Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is lagging behind in developing the federal exchanges.
It gets worse. HHS has contracted with a subsidiary
of a private health care company to help build and police the very
exchanges in which that company will be competing for business. The
person who ran the government entity that awarded that contract has
since accepted a position with a different subsidiary of that same
company. An insurance industry insider (speaking on the condition of
anonymity) says that HHS, in an attempt to hide this unseemly contract
from public view until after the election, encouraged the company to
hide the transaction from the Securities and Exchange Commission. http://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/sebelius-coverup_664285.html?page=2
