I heard yesterday,,,the Repubs are now slowing down on immigration reform legislation matter,,,,not wanting the disgust with Obamacare debacle to dwindle away before the next congressional elections. The conservatives need to keep chipping away at Obamacare, Benghazi, NSA, IRS topics.

Another Heynow favorite:

1. Bush's fault

2. Iraq War that Dimwits also voted to approve....guess you forgot

3. Medicare Part D approval was a good thing,,,,you wouldn't want us old folks to pay excessive dollars for Rx's would you?

4. Extended Unemployment benefits, beyond states' limitations,,don't need to be covered by federal dollars....let the states' decide and pay for their own benefits, to their own unemployed. No sense in making not looking for a job,,, an attractive situation,,, to do nothing but collect a check.
Money for nothing, and the baby's mamas are free......you say?

5. Don't we still have troops in Iraq? 2009 > BHO was going to bring the military troops all home.....so since 2010, the Iraq dollars spent are all on BHO. More BS

Just more of your normal spin.....

Can't help but notice that you don't post your rebuttals on other recent topics posted ..... out of excuses?

1) Senator Obama March 2006 on raising the debt limit.

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure,” he said. “It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.”

President Obama

Raising the debt ceiling is so important to the health of this economy and the global economy that it is not a vote that, even when you are protesting an administration's policies, you can play around with, and you need to take very seriously the need to raise the debt limit so that the full faith and credit of the United States government is maintained around the globe.”

2) Senator Obama on increasing the national debt

Obama calls President Bush "unpatriotic" for adding trillions to debt. bush added about four trillion to the debt in eight years.

President Obama

Has raised the National Debt by $7 trillion in 5 years.

3) Senator Obama on the use of executive orders

"I take the Constitution very seriously," he said. "The biggest problems that we’re facing right now have to do with George Bush trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch and not go through Congress at all. And that’s what I intend to reverse when I’m president of the United States of America."

President Obama

We’re not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we’re providing Americans the kind of help they need. I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone," Obama said at a Jan. 14 cabinet meeting.

27 changes to ObamaCare by Executive order

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney predicted that President Barack Obama will "bypass Congress" when necessary in 2014, taking unilateral executive action to carry out his agenda.

Bypassing Congress will likely mean taking executive action in certain areas. In the past, Obama has halted the deportations of certain young, undocumented immigrants and ordered modest changes to the federal background check system for gun purchases, among other actions

4) Senator Obama on surveillance

"I will provide our intelligence and law enforcement agencies with the tools they need to track and take out the terrorists without undermining our Constitution and our freedom. That means no more illegal wiretapping of American citizens. No more national security letters to spy on citizens who are not suspected of a crime. No more tracking citizens who do nothing more than protest a misguided war. No more ignoring the law when it is inconvenient," Obama said in 2007, adding that "the FISA court works."

President Obama

NSA scandal. Nothing more need to be said

5) •Inaugural festivities funding

After Obama's victory in 2008, his inaugural committee abided by what it called "an unprecedented set of limitations on fundraising as part of President-elect Obama's pledge to put the country on a new path." That meant taking no corporate money and no individual contributions in excess of $50,000 to pay for the myriad parties and balls that end up costing tens of millions of dollars.

The second time around, Obama reversed the policy. The inaugural committee organizing this month's inaugural festivities accepted corporate money and imposed no limits on giving. A spokesperson cited the need to "meet the fund-raising requirements for this civic event after the most expensive presidential campaign in history."

6) President Obama in 2010 on Super PACs

When the U.S. Supreme Court issued its 2010 Citizens United decision, opening the way for the creation of super PACs financed with unlimited corporate or individual money, Obama became the ruling's biggest critic.

"Last week the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests u2014 including foreign corporations u2014 to spend without limit in our elections," Obama said in his State of the Union address a few days after the decision. "I don't think American elections should be bankrolled by America's most powerful interests, or worse, by foreign entities."

President Obama on Super PACs 7 months later

Seven months later, the campaign reversed itself and embraced a super PAC founded by former White House aides called Priorities USA Action. "[O]ur campaign has to face the reality of the law as it currently stands," wrote campaign manager Jim Messina in a blog post.

With the blessing of the campaign, top Obama aides, such as then-Chief of Staff Jack Lew and confidantes like Rahm Emanuel, were dispatched to solicit super PAC donations from Democratic millionaires and billionaires. Priorities USA ultimately spent more than $60 million to help re-elect the president.

7) Candidate Obama on Healthcare

During his protracted 2008 primary fight with Hillary Clinton, one of the few areas of domestic policy disagreement centered around the individual mandate. Clinton was a strong supporter of the idea, but Obama was emphatically opposed. He described how "you can have a situation which we're seeing right now in the state of Massachusetts, where people are being fined for not having purchased health care but choose to accept the fine because they still can't afford it even with the subsidies. And they are then worse off. They then have no health care and are paying a fine above and beyond that."

President Obama

But Obama signed an individual mandate into law as president. According to the Congressional Budget Office, once it's in effect, 6 million Americans will still lack insurance but will be forced to pay penalties totaling $7 billion -- precisely the situation Obama warned about. Most of those penalties will be borne by the middle class.

(Note That was from an earlier article. The CBO now projects that 31 million Americans will still be without insurance).

While we're on the subject of the mandate, it's worth remembering what Obama told ABC's George Stephanopoulos in Sept. 2009: "[F]or us to say that you've got to take a responsibility to get health insurance is absolutely not a tax increase." Yet his lawyer argued successfully before the Supreme Court that the mandate was, in fact, a tax, and therefore constitutional.

Lie Witness News -- Presidents' Day Edition

Published on Feb 18, 2014

We (Jimmy Kimmel Live show) went out onto Hollywood Blvd. to tell people that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt died today. He actually died in 1945 but that didn't stop people from remembering him fondly.
