Just 32 months later, Obama administration tells us what ObamaCare plans must have in them
But it was not until yesterday that the federal government finally released a proposed regulation defining “essential health benefits”— a fundamental rule for planning these exchanges.
In other words, the federal government was demanding governors finish their detailed plans for implementing state-based health care exchanges four days before it even told them exactly what plans in those exchanges had to look like. http://hotair.com/archives/2012/11/21/just-32-months-later-obama-administration-tells-us-what-obamacare-plans-must-have-in-them/

We get closer to the day when Obamacare moves from threat to reality, it seems probable that the resulting catastrophe for tens of thousands of businesses, as well as the massive increase in premiums for many families, will propel Republicans to majority status in 2014.
How
many businesses will be forced to close shop? How many will cut back on
the number of employees to stay in business? How many will refuse to
expand, unable to handle the increased costs? http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2012/11/24/how-implementing-obamacare-will-make-the-gop-a-majority-party/

U.S. Department of Interior Announces Lease for Delaware Offshore Wind -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As part of the Obama Administration's strategy to expand safe and responsible domestic energy production, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) Director Tommy P. Beaudreau announced that BOEM has reached agreement on a lease for commercial wind energy development in federal waters that covers 96,430 acres, approximately 11 nautical miles off the coast of Delaware. This is the first lease completed under Interior's "Smart from the Start" approach to facilitate environmentally responsible offshore wind development along the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf. This approach identifies wind energy areas in a coordinated, focused approach with extensive environmental analysis, public review, and large-scale planning.

Over the past six years, the United States has reduced its carbon emissions more than any other nation in the world.
Efforts to curb so-called man-made climate change
had little or nothing to do with it. Government mandated "green" energy
didn't cause the reductions. Neither did environmentalist pressure. And
the U.S. did not go along with the Kyoto Protocol to radically cut CO2
emissions. Instead, the drop came about through market forces and technological advances, according to a report from the International Energy Agency. http://www.michigancapitolconfidential.com/17967

NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth's atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, reports a new study in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing. The study indicates far less future global warming will occur than United Nations computer models have predicted, and supports prior studies indicating increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide trap far less heat than alarmists have claimed.
The new NASA Terra satellite data are consistent with long-term NOAA and NASA data indicating atmospheric humidity and cirrus clouds are not increasing in the manner predicted by alarmist computer models. http://news.yahoo.com/nasa-data-blow-gaping-hold-global-warming-alarmism-192334971.html

An atheist group at Dartmouth College is planning an event aimed at skewering the reputation of the late Mother Teresa.
The Atheists Humanists Agnostics (AHA) club sent out a campus-wide e-mail announcing the program on Tuesday and promising a “full-out romp against why one of the most beloved people of the century, Mother Teresa, is as Hitchens put it… ‘a lying, thieving Albanian dwarf.’” http://www.campusreform.org/blog/?ID=4503

Against GOP objections, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has announced that the Obama administration is sending $147 million in funding to the West Bank and Hamas-run Gaza.
Despite a “hold by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairwoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla.,” the administration is arguing the money needs to be sent on humanitarian grounds. They did not, however, explain how they plan to force Hamas to use the money for humanitarian purposes. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2012/04/13/obama-sends-147-million-to-hamas-run-gaza-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Grants Reprieve To Student Expelled For Refusing To Wear Tracking Device Badge
“Regimes in the past have always started with the schools, where they develop a compliant citizenry. These ‘Student Locator’ programs are ultimately aimed at getting students used to living in a total surveillance state where there will be no privacy, and wherever you go and whatever you text or email will be watched by the government,” Whitehead [President of the Rutherford Institute] warned.The school had reportedly offered to allow Hernandez to wear a non-functional badge, giving the appearance of support for the program, but she declined. http://cnsnews.com/blog/craig-bannister/judge-grants-reprieve-student-expelled-refusing-wear-tracking-device-badge

[On the subject of why we lost to Obama:] As Obama
wooed voters with emotional focus-group tested messages, allowing them
to accept the abysmal failure his presidency. Voters re-elected him
because it felt good to vote for him, again. They heard the Message.
Sa-weet! We can flip of the parents, smoke pot, have sex, party like a
rock star or do whatever we want and Obama will make our parents pay for
it. I'm voting for Obama!

How Obama’s FEMA Criminally Botched the Hurricane Recovery Effort Obama’s
win came in part because the media and a Springsteen-loving governor
portrayed him as dedicated to relief for those hit by Hurricane Sandy.
The reality however is that Obama made some routine photo op stops.
FEMA, along with the Red Cross, failed abysmally at Hurricane Sandy
relief efforts, and that story wasn’t told before the election because
the people in a position to tell it had no power and the media wanted
Obama to win. Afterward the story is slowly trickling out. http://frontpagemag.com/2012/dgreenfield/how-obamas-fema-criminally-botched-the-hurricane-recovery-effort/

So,
yes, Barack Obama’s victory was remarkable, but it was—as his own
campaign manager himself proudly says—entirely a matter of getting the
mechanical details right and building up from there. The Obama campaign
spent four years figuring out how to maximize his vote (one of the
advantages of incumbency; Karl Rove did the same for George W. Bush
between 2001 and 2004) and a year constructing a strategy to minimize
the vote of his opponent. The results were almost perfect. http://www.commentarymagazine.com/article/the-way-forward/

One
year and one month before President Obama won reelection, he invited
seven of the world’s top economists to a private meeting in the Oval
Office to hear their advice on what do to fix the ailing economy. “I’m
not asking you to consider the political feasibility of things,” he told
them in the previously unreported meeting. The meeting highlighted what
today is the biggest disagreement between some of the world’s top
economists and the Obama administration. The economists say the
president could have significantly accelerated the slow economic
recovery if he had better addressed the overhang of mortgage debt left
when housing prices collapsed. http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/economists-obama-administration-at-odds-over-role-of-mortgage-debt-in-slow-recovery/2012/11/22/dc83f25e-2e87-11e2-89d4-040c9330702a_story.html

[Because it is Obama himself who told Putin that after the election, he would have more "flexibility", and because he was going to make the world love us again, this article in Prava is relevant:]-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.
O'bomber even keeps the war going along the Mexican border with projects
like "fast and furious" and there is still no sign of ending it. He is
a Communist without question promoting the Communist Manifesto without
calling it so. How shrewd he is in America. His cult of personality
mesmerizes those who cannot go beyond their ignorance. They will
continue to follow him like those fools who still praise Lenin and
Stalin in Russia. Obama's fools and Stalin's fools share the same drink
of illusion. http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/19-11-2012/122849-obama_soviet_mistake-0/

There was a picture of him directing himself toward her lips, before she turned her head away.
I think she is wishing he would just let her go....
[As usual, Obama thinks he is one of the most interesting people in any given room, as he himself stated, and so he alone waves, just as he did at another meeting - our narcissist-in-chief.]
